This is Jason Smith. He's a good example of the time if takes for NHL defensemen to develop. New Jersey dealt him for immediate help one trade deadline, old-timey-coach didn't like the cut of his jib in Toronto and sent him away one other time.
When Jason Smith arrived in Edmonton he was battle-hardened, had leadership qualities, had learned to deal with injury, had a boatload of defensive talent and was willing to do damn near anything to establish himself in Edmonton. It takes time to learn NHL defense. A lot of good ones slip away to other teams in their mid-20's.
Steve Tambellini and the Edmonton Oilers are having a nice summer. The entry draft went very well, with Stu (Magnificent Bastard) MacGregor delivering a strong draft list that includes potential Calder candidate Taylor Hall.
The club placed three veterans on waivers (Moreau, Nilsson, O'Sullivan) for the purpose of buying out their contracts only to see the Hockey Gods bless them twice (Moreau claimed by the Jackets and a solid return in exchange for O'Sullivan).
The club entered free agency with a reasonable shopping list and some walking around money.
In the early hours of free agency we heard the Oilers were "in the mix" for Derek Boogaard and Manny Malhotra. These players address specific needs but the eventual pricetag was way too high, indicating Steve Tambellini backed off when the bidding got crazy.
His signing of defenseman Kurtis Foster--at a price of 1.8M times 2 years--has an excellent chance of being a value contract. He's big, has good footspeed and can play the position. He also possesses one outstanding skill--a monster shot from the point. The Oilers are likely to send Sheldon Souray away in trade sometime this summer, so the cannon from the point from Foster means one more need is covered with this free agent signing.
Foster has a nice range of skills, has proven he can help a powerplay and be successful against softer NHL opposition; if there's another gear there this could be a very good acquisition. We should also remember that long list of defensemen who developed late (Jason Smith, Steve Staios, others) and were available to the Oilers at less than 100 cents on the dollar. Foster could find a home in Edmonton, it's happened before.
No matter the outcome, it's a solid bet.
The items remaining on the Oilers shopping list--a veteran center who can win faceoffs; an enforcer who can protect the small and inexperienced forwards; possibly a veteran 2-way winger to mentor the kids ala Fernando Pisani--are all out there and available. Some of the candidates the team might be looking at include Chris Higgins, Eric Belanger and Zenon Konopka.
Steve Tambellini has money in his pocket for free agents, he has the lessons learned from the Phoenix Coyotes and their late summer value contracts a year ago, and he has veteran defenseman Sheldon Souray.
This is turning into a very nice summer.
UPDATE: Oilers have signed Jason Strudwick along with AHL veteran defender Richard Petiot this morning. Also, Ryan Rishaug is reporting that Sheldon Souray has been placed on waivers.
July 02 2010, 09:11AM
Question to no one and everyone in particular:
Can someone tell me why Pierre McGuire was insisting that the Oilers overpaid to get Foster?
Two years at 1.8M-per seemed pretty reasonable, especially on Frenzy Day, when hardly anybody signs for less than $2M.
I realize that McGuire is an excitable chap who often goes overboard on just about everything, but he must be able to count to 10, can't he?
Happy? He really sounded happy last year.
Sure Souray is a decent defenseman. When you change the culture and attitude in the room, you need to rid the discontent out of the room. Even if you do not receive full value for that asset. Souray's sense of entitlement does not fit here anymore and he needs to go.
Why risk Souray souring one of the 'kids' or recreating the old boys club. If you are going to rebuild, rebuild. Souray has no place on a rebuilding team.
Don't be laying all the inner problems on the players . Management was equally , if not more so , than the players for that eventual toxic blowup . Both need to make up in that regard ! Even if Souray was to be let go, we still have managerial team running the show that created it and let it fester . It's a lot deeper than just entitlement . With Souray gone it still does not adequately address or make the problem go away , in other words .
July 02 2010, 10:13AM
Something big must be going on.. Maybe Holland defeating Brazil? Twitter is over capacity..
Clearly it's because people have learned the Oilers re-signed Strudwick.
Man.. I cant believe this...
I hope he is the official Oil Baron Enforcer...
Welcome to ON! I am a huge fan of your blog and can't wait to get more of your insight.
Bon chance.
This is weird.
what do you think the chances are of Belanger landing here, also are there any actual offers for Souray yet or is it too early?
RT: Thanks.
Matt.N: It'll be fine.
Andrew: Tambellini said he couldn't say there was progress re:Souray but did indicate his name was brought up in conversation.
As for Belanger, he would be a nice contract for a lot of teams. If a contending team wants him, chances are the Oilers won't win that contest.
July 02 2010, 07:13AM
Never meet you before, but enjoy your articles. Welcome.
One poster mentioned Mike Weaver to help out backend out on another thread. He is a small guy, but played top PK minutes on the best PK. Would he be a fit?
Ogden: The problem with adding another defender is that you might end up risking waivers on Peckham. He's the one young blueliner who can't be sent out without risking waivers. The depth chart right now looks like this:
Whitney-Gilbert Smid-Foster Vandermeer-(Souray trade) Peckham
If the Oilers deal Souray for a forward, then adding a defenseman is a solid option. But if they bring back another defenseman, the Oilers may lose Peckham. I don't think he'd clear waivers, PLUS he's exactly the player-type EDM needs.
Yesterday was long and exciting with free agency and a classic CFL game to kick-off the season. Today starts with LT with ON! What else can a sports fan request.
The Oilers are becoming more balanced with each move. It appears the time assessing is paying off. If Tambo can find a rugged, stay-at-home, #4-5 type d-man that would be nice. That 3rd line centre spot is vacant and needs an experienced player with some grit and PK ability. Onward and upward.
July 02 2010, 07:24AM
So Peckham does have to clear waivers? There was some confusion on that.
I think Mike Gillis made and excellent point yesterday when he said that last year they thought they had enough d-men going into the year and then they ended up being a few short.
I guess it comes down to what Tambo has up his sleeve with Souray.
July 02 2010, 07:24AM
Good to see you on ON Lowetide!
I really like Tambi's moves. Fraser, Foster, and Vandermeer should be solid acquisitions, and the good thing is that they all seem very positive about playing here.
I am disappointed that we didn't get Scott, but I hope we go hard for Knopka.
As for Souray, I expect that we will trade him, but if we can't, I don't want him back polluting the atmosphere in the room. A new leadership group will emerge and evolve, and it would be best done without him. I hope Kevin was serious about letting him sit if we can't move him.
I have no problem with this team being well below the cap, and I am willing to be patient with the young guys, as long as I see hard work and a competitive attitude.
Oh, and I really love Calgary's moves ... they are now really on the down escalator. We'll wave to them as we pass them going the other way.
Have a good one.
Good luck in the new venture LT.
Welcome LT. This is a great day for Oilers fans who are reading one of your articles for the first time today, and for the rest of us too.
July 02 2010, 07:34AM
Another writer who provides reasonable analysis & commentary? Did someone hack my bookmarks?
One of the Dreger tweeted yesterday that there was a ton of interest in Higgins so I suspect he'll end up in the too expensive category.
July 02 2010, 07:37AM
So we're left with Souray as the last remaining, "I don't want to be here" folks, but what about Smid? Is he still with the program here or is he next to be packaged up and shipped out?
And don't forget Cogliano, who really doesn't have a spot now in the lineup that fits his skillset...
July 02 2010, 07:39AM
if they go hard for Konopka the better have a fourth line LWer who can skate or Stortini is getting dropped. thats just too slow/retarded for an energy line at the NHL level. thats AHL/bush speed.
Higgins has some nice speed but Cogliano and Souray are probably going to get traded... so for what type of player. is Higgins really worth investing in if established players come back for those two in return. Cogliano may not get moved but it just seems practical instead of stunting him further because he will not get top 6 minutes anymore ahead of Hall, Eberle and MPS, or even possibly Omark eventually...
time for Tambo to trade Souray and/or Cogs for a SICK swiss-army-knife type third liner or a solid D-man.
July 02 2010, 07:41AM
Wasn't Smid's biggest issue with him not get NHL playing time? The guy is living here during the summer now, so I have to think he is happy.
July 02 2010, 07:45AM
Laddy is happy here. There were some rumblings three seasons ago he wasn't, but that came during a time when he was buried on the depth chart and being used as a forward by MacTavish. His discontent, essentially, came down to anxiety he wouldn't get a chance to be more than a third-pairing defenceman here. I talked to him at a golf tournament this summer and he's eager to get going. He should be 100 per cent recovered from his neck surgery by the start of training camp.
I visited lowetide.blogspot.com five times this morning before I remembered to come here.
Sort of like getting off a bus in a daze at the stop near your old house, only to remember too late that you don't live there anymore.
For those of you who never drifted over to Mr. Mitchell's old black-and-blue home on blogger, I offer the following snapshot of his topic list as explanation why some of us spent a few minutes of each morning there:
expos (3) grace kelley (4) gretzky (2) pouliot (35) weir (1)
The last one is most definitely a miscount. Stan, er, Mr. Weir damn near won us the whole thing back in 06.
Thanks LT. As you said, this too will be fine. But a few of us are still going to miss the way things used to be.
All the best,
Mark MacKinnon
Great to have you here LT! I've been a long-time reader of yours despite not joining in on the conversation.
As for Peckham, it's a shame he can't be sent down for developments sake. Do you think he's ready for a 6 spot? If not, does being 7 help him in the long run? I suppose he'd always be one injury away from drawing in.
A happy , healthy and productive player like Souray is just what we need to round out our defensive core . I for one, prefer all measures to keep him here and on roster during our rebuild . Sitting him out seems out of the question now that he is wavering on staying here . Who else in marketplace can replace him at equal or more talent and value value - no one i forsee thats available now .
Pencil Souray back in and our defensive core looks pretty good . Peckhams defensive liabilities beyond toughness are still not at NHL acceptable level sorry to say - strictly a call up at this stage . Chorney is far better , but size and toughness not his fortay . Plante should emerge over those two in the near future , perhaps even this year .
I'd like to see Tams address the smallish forward dilemma we still have at forward position with trades etc . , far more than trying to move Souray at this time !! There's always time to move Souray at next years trade deadline if he still prefers to be traded , but now is not good timing . I prefer to see how things pan out with him in lineup , and some of our diminutive players weeded out for upgrades in size and toughness .

@Robin Brownlee @Ogden Brother Jr. - Team Lynda Steele
There's been so many curveballs lately that I guess I'm starting to get a bit paranoid, I suppose. Thanks for clearing that up.
Lowetide has just escalated this logsite into readable.
re: Markmac - I believe Diane Lane would be right behind Expos - or maybe in front of.
July 02 2010, 08:06AM
This is fantastic, another excellent writer for ON. I've been reading your blog for a long time now but like most others rarely have I ever joined in the conversation.
How did Foster's 42 points breakdown? Does he have a heavy shot from the point that the Oilers can utilize with the inevitable loss of Souray?
Being that he is 6'5 220lbs, is he fairly physical? I noticed that he doesn't take too many penalties which means he knows the line, but if he could find the right edge we could have ourselves a great 3-4 guy.
As for the Centre, I can't see Tambellini spending over 1.5m/season on the 3rd/4th line man which essentially takes Higgins out of the running. I would love to see Konopka here but we may have that guy already since Fraser signed yesterday.
It should be a grittier team next year that plays with a lot more heart.
Strange forces are at play - I've been reading Lowetide for about 2yrs but could never log in. Your first day here and I finally get to thank you for all of your insight and entertainment - that and the Oil actually seem to be making prudent moves and those other guys down the road have me scratching my head.
July 02 2010, 08:11AM
@OvenChicken8 - Team JSBM
60 hits, 70 blocked shots.
26PP points, 16 ES points
http://www.nhl.com/ice/playerstats.htm?fetchKey=20102TAMDADAll&sort=timeOnIce&viewName=timeOnIce Minimal PK time, Maximum PP time.
Welcome LT.
Foster - I like the signing. Not too long a term.
Souray - The problem I see with him sticking around is that after he got back from his concussion (thanks Jarome), he looked atrocious out there at times. Was it disinterest, resentment at management, lingering concussion sypmtoms?? Not sure but he looked pylonish many a night.
In addition to the quality of players that we are getting, I'm love the short term contracts that are being handed out.
In 2-3 years the Oilers are setting themselves up to have a near clear slate salary wise. We will be able sign our core to the contracts they deserve and also pick up some quality UFA's so we can make a run at the cup.
Fantastic time to be an Oilers fan!!!
July 02 2010, 08:28AM
@Ogden Brother Jr. - Team Strudwick for coach
Ahhh you are a sight for sore eyes here, Lowetide. Glad to see you posting here. Will you still be maintaining your own blogspot site as well?
As far as signings I'd like to see.. basically 2.
1) Zenon Konopka. This guy is amazing on draws (over 60%). Plus, he can fight, AND defend in his own zone? Geez, sign me up. If the Rags paid $1.5M for the Boogey man, surely Konopka is worth at least that much (however reality tells me neither are). I wonder what his asking price is.
2) A shutdown defenseman. Our blue line is near perfection (sans-injuries, and once Souray is shipped off). The only thing missing is that guy who can stifle opposition forwards. Smid might be that one day, but it's unrealistic to expect that now. Shaone Morrison is a guy who is still available. I'd say he'd be worth giving a large chunk of change to. Anywhere in the 3-4M ballpark. Volchenkov is getting $4.25M per, so that should be a comparison point in contract dealings where we would keep it under.
Edit: Actually I just read back and see that Peckham has to clear waivers to go down.. this was something I didn't know or even consider (he's only played 31 NHL games though, so I don't believe he does have to clear waivers). Changes things a bit if he is waiver eligible, but we could still have him up here and alternate with Vandermeer as #7 (and thus not re-signing Johnson/Strudwick).
Anyways, good to see you here LT.
Happy? He really sounded happy last year.
Sure Souray is a decent defenseman. When you change the culture and attitude in the room, you need to rid the discontent out of the room. Even if you do not receive full value for that asset. Souray's sense of entitlement does not fit here anymore and he needs to go.
Why risk Souray souring one of the 'kids' or recreating the old boys club. If you are going to rebuild, rebuild. Souray has no place on a rebuilding team.
July 02 2010, 08:40AM
This prose looks nice on a white background. The black has always kind of made me sleepy.
The way Quinn talked about Souray at the end of the season there's no way he plays here. The 'I don't want guys here poisoning the dressing room if they don't want to be here' type quote seemed pretty telling. He'll be traded, or assigned all the way down to Stockton.
I kinda like the idea of running with 8D next year LT, not sure how you look at it.
That might allow one of the waiver ineligible forwards to get more ice time in the AHL, and cover the NHL team with an extra defenceman, which for depth purposes I think might make some sense given that many of the Oilers D have injury issues, and that the Oilers are likely to have better replacement F's in the minors than D, so might as well use that 23rd roster spot on an extra D over F.
But maybe EDM can add one of the remaining depth guys, like a Johnsson, Coliacovo, Eaton, Coliacovo, Mottau, Clark, etc, for a depth chart something like:
Whitney Gilbert Souray/Brewer/other D in Souray trade Smid Vandermeer Foster new guy Peckham
or, if you end up trading Souray for an overpriced but useable F, pick up two of those depth types for your 8 D?
July 02 2010, 08:52AM
In Peckham's second stint with the club towards the end of the year(before injury), he looked like he was starting to get it.
I think he can handle the #6 role, problem is if he's paired with Vandermeer they will have very limited mobility and neither is gonna be confused as a "puck-mover".
The good thing is Renney has a nice track record in dealing with defensemen, so who knows...
BTW Sign Konopka and stortini can be the 13th forward.
What is going to happen to Pisani ... Gene Principe will be heartbroken. I think oilers should sign him to a one year deal.
I really like the idea of running 8D. Omark, Eberle, Paajarvi can all bounce up and down from the minors so there should be adequate replacements for forwards. The Oilers are thin on D and it seems like a position where more injuries occur.
speeds: I'd be fine with that, but sure as hell they'll sign Strudwick for that role if that's their direction. I think Strudwick is done, no disrespect to him the guy is clearly loved by Oiler players.
I'd rather have Pisani.
July 02 2010, 09:12AM
Over 3 days & I believe not one mention of Schremp. I am liking this team better all the time.
Congrats, LT! Like The Joker said, "If you're good at something, never do it for free".
@MarkMac: Here, here. I think that my morning routine will start out as usual (go to LT's blog), then click on the ON link to get here.
Kwirky fact: The Flames drafted two players in the second round of the 2000 draft - Foster and Jarret Stoll. It's somewhat ironic how bad the Oilers could use Stoll right now.
How about Andreas Lilja for a shutdown/pk type? Big, gritty, and blocks shots. If he's good enough to kill penalties for Detroit... I guess the concern would be his concussion issues, but according to his camp, he's 100% now.
His cap hit was $1.25M last year, and he's 35 years old. On a MAX two year deal, for Foster money or less, I'd be pretty ok with that.
July 02 2010, 09:21AM
Congrats LT!
I agree with carrying 8D. If memory serves me right, Vandermeer can play the swing role like Strudwick did last year. Vandermeer was played at forward at times in Calgary if I'm not mistaken. Also, Tocchet on Oilers Lunch said he occasionally used Foster up front last year. Both of these guys add flexibility and also allow us to carry 8D while only having one spare F (or 3rd Goalie since I'm not convinced Tambo will/can dump one off the young goalies for a pick/tangible asset due to the saturated goalie market).
I normally don't comment, but had to today.
Welcome to ON Lowetide! Better late than never :)

The Lilja idea is one I've championing with my friends and coworkers. He'd bring some of that Detroit mystique and work ethic. Pair him with Laddie and we have a potentially good shutdown pairing.
July 02 2010, 09:25AM
Is it just me that was really slow to realize that the 1st round pick that the Flames traded to Phoenix for Jokinen ended up being Gormley?
Also welcome aboard Lowetide, you've made an already excellent site even better.
I've been thinking a great deal about Pisani and Strudwick and where they are going. I know there have been public statements about Pisani not being part of the future, but I think writing them out of the Oilers organization is folly.
Neither of them are going to command top dollar on the FA market (to be honest, I doubt either is signed by another NHL team period), but both are slod role players (pisani more so, but health issues limit efectiveness).
Why not offer them both 2-way contracts for OKC. Maybe something like 1M/300k for Pisani to mentor the kids in defensive play on the 2RW, and 750k/250K to Strudds to play a solid physical game and be a locker room presence. Both could be called up for depth, and both have a place in the org still.
It's the kind of move that would go a long way to shoring things up in OKC, and provide real depth for the Oilers this coming season.
Welcome aboard Lowetide. This truly is a wonderful day.
And fear not, we are trolling your commentary with a rockey launcher looking for trolls*

Sylvia Antoinette Pangrazi Blackburn
Every once in a great while, we are blessed in our lives with that one amazing and incredible person who forever becomes part of us – somebody we looked up to and admired who becomes our teacher, our light in the dark and our protector.
Sylvia Antoinette Pangrazi Blackburn was born in Telluride on Oct. 9, 1922. Sylvia passed away Jan. 9, 2014, in her home of 53 years in Durango at the age of 91.
The Pangrazi family lived in Ophir, Colo., in the house behind the small post office after a move from a small cabin in Matterhorn. The family came to that small cabin from Austria in 1920 and brought with them the skills of gathering mushrooms, berries and an occasional snowshoe hare to aid their survival. All food was canned and stored for the winter with reliance on the Durango and Rio Grande Southern railroad for the main staples of pasta, cheese and grapes. The home, when remodeled in the 1980s, was found to be insulated by pasta carried by pack rats to their hiding places.
While a young woman, Sylvia worked for two summers in the boarding house of the Alta Mines before moving to Telluride. She revisited Alta Lakes last summer with her family, friends and youngest sister, recalling some of the menus, friendships and isolation from her family. Sylvia graduated from Telluride High School and Barnes Business College in Denver – her first trip beyond southwest Colorado, and returned to Telluride to work for an attorney and later for the Idarado Mine.
In 1945, the Pangrazi family moved from Ophir to a prominent two-story brick home on the first block of Main Street in Telluride.
On April 10, 1949, Sylvia married Keith Blackburn. Two sons were born of this union, Fred and Robert. The family resided in Telluride while Keith worked as an electrician for Telluride Mines and later owned Telluride Electric. They were forced to move to Durango because of the failing mining economy of Telluride in 1959. Keith became lift manager for Purgatory Ski Resort, where he is memorialized in the ski run known as Blackburn Bash. Sylvia worked as a professional secretary and office manager for Mauck and Stastney architects while raising her family.
A kind, loving and intelligent woman with a heart of gold, Sylvia was a devout Catholic, dedicated wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Her cookie jar was always full, her heart always open, and her arms never empty. She never uttered a cross word and always had abundant hugs for those she loved. Keeping up with her on her daily 6-mile walks through the Durango parks and trails was always a challenge. She may have been short, but her stride was long and fast, challenging those who dared join her.
Sylvia was an intrepid volunteer and president of the Mercy Hospital Auxiliary. In 2006, after 25 years of service, Sylvia was acknowledged by the lieutenant governor with a certificate of appreciation reading:
"To Sylvia Blackburn in recognition of your service to the State of Colorado and nomination for the 2006 for the Governor's Volunteer Service Award. Your compassion and commitment exemplifies the spirit of volunteerism and makes Colorado a better place to live."
Sylvia was an avid bridge and pinochle player and hosted many gatherings. She loved cooking, taught her family the values learned growing up in Telluride and Ophir.
She loved to take her grandchildren to watch the Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge train as it roared through town, returning back home for ice cream and sometimes popcorn. She enjoyed nights of reading books such as the Bobsey Twins, Nancy Drew and nursery rhymes for her grandchildren. Her homemade dinner rolls and breadsticks were unbeatable and continue to be made in her honor. A traditional Austrian/Italian dish called "smorn" with homemade choke cherry syrup along with homemade elk sausage were breakfast favorites for her lucky grandchildren.
Sylvia is survived by her sisters Katherine Reece of Grand Junction and Ida McKnight of Montrose; sons Fred Blackburn and his wife Victoria Atkins of Cortez, and Bob Blackburn of Durango; grandchildren, Floss Blackburn of Grover and her sons Denali and Kaia Scoular, Forrest Blackburn and wife Caroline Blackburn of Loveland, Julianna Blackburn and Lucas Blackburn of Cortez; and great-grandchildren Denali & Kaia Scoular of Fort Collins and Chloe Blackburn of Loveland. Sylvia was preceded in death by her husband Keith in 2008. For those who had the privilege of knowing and loving Sylvia, her kind and gentle manner will always be remembered.
Funeral services are scheduled on Saturday, Jan. 18, 2014 at 10 a.m. at Saint Columba Catholic Church in Durango. Immediately after the mass will be a gathering in the church hall for all to share of loving and joyful stories. At a later time, Sylvia's ashes will be buried next to her husband Keith and in her favorite places in the mountains near Ophir and Telluride. In lieu of flowers or gifts the family requests that donations be provided to Mercy Hospice so that their professional, loving and dedicated care of Sylvia and many more in her situation may continue.

The eyepiece incorporates several LED indicators:
• Red: serves as an IR Illuminator Indicator and an Battery Low Indicator at a time.
• Green: serves as an Excessive Brightness Indicator. If the bright light remains unchanged for over 10 seconds after the indicator turns on, the Monocular will automatically shut-off.

Ways to Relieve Stress Naturally
Your car is in the shop, you're swamped with work at the office, your little one is home sick, and there's nothing in the refrigerator to cook for dinner. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a stress reliever out there as simple to use as a pain reliever? Sure, there is a long list of products on the market today that claim to reduce stress as easily as aspirin relieves headaches, but there isn't much evidence that they actually work.
Because the Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Communications Commission have no jurisdiction over companies that sell natural supplements, they are not required to provide evidence of their effectiveness or safety, and very few of them have undergone non-bias clinical trials to back up their claims. In addition, "all natural" doesn't mean they cannot cause harm. Some herbs can interfere with prescription medications and others have been known to cause damage to certain organs. If you're looking for an alternative natural stress buster without the risks, you may want to try one of the following:

Go Daddy is still investigating what knocked it offline for several hours yesterday.
Paul Demery
Go Daddy, which manages millions of web domain names and hosts millions of web sites, experienced a power outage yesterday that left many of its clients without online service for several hours yesterday, the company says.
The company was still investigating today what caused the outage, but noted that it did not affect stored consumer information such as credit card data. "At no time was any sensitive customer information, such as credit card data, passwords or names and addresses, compromised," Go Daddy says in a statement on its web site.
Scott Wagner, the company's interim CEO, says that the problem was internal and caused by a "series of internal network events that corrupted router data tables. Once the issues were identified, we took corrective actions to restore services for our customers and GoDaddy.com. We have implemented measures to prevent this from happening." A router is a switching device for routing Internet traffic.
Wagner's statement didn't elaborate on what steps Go Daddy is taking to prevent future outages, and the company did not immediately return a request for more information. A spokeswoman for VeriSign Inc., a rival in the business of offering domain name services, confirmed that Go Daddy redirected Internet traffic to VeriSign's infrastructure to get back online while working on its outage problem.
Go Daddy provides services including web hosting and web site security certifications to 56 online retailers among the Internet Retailer Top 1000, including 13 in the Top 500 and 43 in the Second 500. But it could not be confirmed whether the outage yesterday affected many e-commerce sites.
A spokeswoman for Advertise Purple, an online marketing and advertising agency based in Los Angeles, says that among its client base a "handful of our major e-commerce retailers" were directly affected by the outage through the temporary loss of e-mail marketing platforms hosted by Go Daddy. Advertise Purple would not name those clients.
Scot Wingo, CEO of ChannelAdvisor Corp., a company that helps online retailers sell through e-marketplaces and other online channels, says he didn't notice any disruption among his clients. "We didn't see any impact from this," he says. "A lot of our customers use Go Daddy for DNS services, but that all seemed to be working." DNS stands for domain name system, which manages the ties between domain names, such as OnlineStore.com, and their IP addresses.

Hi, I'm demartino.
I'm a mentor in Misc. One Dish, North American, Dough/Crust
I'm from Boston, MA
View my Profile | View my Recipes
My Misc. One Dish Corner
Why I want to be mentor in this category:
Because stews and chilis are excellent meals that anyone can make, regardless of skill level.
What inspires me in this category:
Stews and chili are culinary magic - you can take several ingredients, often the less-desirable ones, add a little heat, a little liquid, a lot of time, and you get a brand new product that is more than the sum of its parts - tasty, savory, fulfilling.
Chilis, stews, fricasees... One pot meals that cook low and slow are a staple in my home.
Biggest Lesson Learned:
Prep everything ahead of time; since stews often have lengthy ingredient lists, I find it best to make sure I have all the ingredients ready to go before I even turn the stove on.
My Tips:
- For more even low-heat cooking, use your oven set to a low temperature instead of the stovetop once it's time to simmer.
My North American Corner
Why I want to be mentor in this category:
I want people to know that there is more to regional North American cuisine than "Deep South" or "Tex-Mex." New England cuisine it a conglomeration of more than 400 years of immigrants and natives blending cultures. Influences from Portugal, Brazil, Greece, Italy make use of the regional abundance (and lack thereof) of fish, seafood, legumes, maple syrup, and the those ingredients traditionally traded in the Northeast, such as molasses. A little ingenuity and a desire to stretch food to feed the maximum amount of people have created dozens of new dishes.
What inspires me in this category:
Despite its rustic, hearty appearance, New England cuisine is quite cosmopolitan, in that it doesn't exclude the influence of immigrants that came to the region. Rather, it embraces those influences, carving out niches for them, without losing its core concept of frugality and ingenuity. Certain dishes you won't find on menus even fifty miles outside of New England, yet there is something basic about the cuisine that most everyone can relate to. Whether or not you actually hail from New England, its cuisine can make you feel like you're home.
New England cuisine, specifically. Growing up in Massachusetts gave me twenty years to study the traditional dishes of this region. It's so much more than just clam chowder, people.
Biggest Lesson Learned:
With a few exceptions, it's simple, hearty food, born of Yankee ingenuity and frugality. Like any good cuisine, use what's available. And like any region where food was once scarce, you'll use a lot of preservation techniques, and use ingredients that have been preserved in a variety of ways.
Education, Awards, Pro Experience:
Twenty years growing up in New England, ten years away from it - you try to find a decent cannoli or clambake in Los Angeles. If you want something decent, you have to make it yourself.
My Tips:
- When in doubt, add bacon.
- This is one cuisine where looks aren't that important. Stop worrying about how it looks, and focus on how it tastes.
My Dough/Crust Corner
Why I want to be mentor in this category:
Because pies scare people, and it's all because of the crust. But once you develop a good sense of how to make pie dough, you've opened up a whole new world of cooking - chicken pot pies, quiches, cobblers, tarts, even things like beef wellington. I want to help anyone who's intimidated by making dough by walking them through it step-by-step.
A well-made pie is one of the greatest desserts - actually, one of the greatest foods - period. I've been making pies for years, and have tried various different recipes for crusts. Different ingredients, different techniques, different outcomes.
Biggest Lesson Learned:
More than souffles, pie crusts seem to know when the cook is scared of them. If you don't worry about it so much, your crusts will turn out just fine. Besides, even if you don't score a perfect ten, a crust that scores a nine is still fantastic.
My Tips:
- Cold fat. Always - butter, lard, shortening, whatever fat you use, make sure it's cut into small pieces and chilled.
- Pie crusts are always a balance between tenderness and flakiness. The more you work the butter into the flour, the more flake, but the less tender - so it's a tradeoff
- When blind-baking pie crusts, always be sure to A) refrigerate the rolled-out crust for at least a half-hour, and B) use dried beans or pie weights during the first part of baking. This will help reduce shrinkage.
- Pie dough can be frozen very successfully. So when you're making one batch, you might as well make two or three - that way, you'll always have some pie dough ready to go.
- Pie dough should rest for at least a half-hour before rolling and using. This give the flour in the dough time to soak up all the liquid, and makes for a more easily-rolled crust.
- There is such a thing as TOO cold. If your dough is rock-solid when you try to roll it out, it'll crack more easily. If the dough's rock-hard when you take it out of the fridge, let it sit on the counter for a few minutes before rolling.
- Alcohol. It's a useful little secret to making easy pie crusts. A little vodka mixed into the water will give you more leeway in mixing and rolling, and will cook off during baking.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
After battling back in the bottom of the sixth inning with six runs to tie the score, the Emery Spartans were defeated by Lehi in nine innings 10-9.
Trailing 9-3, the Lehi starting pitcher gave up a walk to AJ Mitcheson, a single to Landon Thomas, a single to pinch-hitter Steven Giles, another walk to Josh Eden and another walk to pinch-hitter Jordon Gee. After a pitching change by Lehi, Trevor Thompson hit a grand slam home run as the ball cleared the left center field fence and the score was tied at 9-9.
In the seventh inning, both teams went down with two strikeouts and a ground out.
The eighth inning saw Emery make a pitching change from Conlee Luke to Josh Eden. Lehi went down on a strikeout, pop up to first base and a ground out to the shortstop. Emery had a strikeout, walk and a ball hit into a double play.
In the ninth inning, Lehi's lead off batter hit a homerun to give Lehi the lead and Emery was scoreless in the bottom of the inning to give Lehi the region victory.
Emery took the early lead in the ballgame as AJ Mitcheson and Landon Thomas led off the second inning with homeruns over the left field fence to put Emery up 2-0.
Lehi grabbed the lead in the top of the third inning as combined four singles, two doubles and a several Emery errors to score seven runs. Emery had the opportunity to limit the Lehi runs but they had an inning that puts gray hair on a coach's head.
Before the game, coach Jimmy Jones was talking about his team, "We are coming, this team is getting there. Now that the temperature is warming up, I'm hoping that we do too. Our hitting has been good, our pitching is coming around and we are getting better defensively."
Coach Jones hit it right on the head as his two pitchers, Luke and Eden pitched well and Emery hit the ball well as they scored nine runs with nine hits.
Emery also scored in the fourth inning as Mitcheson and Thomas singled and Mitcheson scored on an Eden single.
Emery will be at home this week Tuesday against North Sanpete before traveling to Delta on Friday.

ShapeLock Design Plastic, Maker Shed, $14.95
This stuff is a low-melting thermoplastic called polycaprolactone. Supplied in pellet form, it can be melted in hot water, or in the microwave, at 160° F (71° C), then safely molded by hand, cooling to a rigid, opaque, machineable solid at room temperature. It is reusable, and can be reheated and reformed as often as you please. If you have a 3D printer, it's easy to form ShapeLock into suitable filament or rod so you can print parts directly in solid polycaprolactone. You can even add stuff to the molten ShapeLock to change the properties of the finished plastic. For instance, adding carbon black allows you to produce a homemade conductive plastic which, rolled into filaments and fed into an extruder, can be used to print electrically conductive parts.

Bills Barnyard
by Tim Wenger
posted Oct 1 2012 11:29AM
I had the unique opportunity of flying over the stadium Sunday in the Erie County Sheriff's helicopter and witnessing the spectacle that is modern-day tailgating. And I have to say, the 'ugly' definitely outweighs the beauty that is supposed to be an NFL gameday.
After my flight I made my way through the maze of garbage strewn about the parking lots and meandering fans who were in no state to make it through a game, let alone make it into the stadium! And as I stood in line to get into the stadium, it sealed the deal when a mass of fans started chanting sexual vulgarities about Tom Brady as my son and several other young fans watched in dismay.
Somehow a good percentage of NFL(Bills) fans have lost their way and turned the Sunday experience into an open parking lot frat party. It used to be enough to take the grill and a few beers for a good old fashioned tailgate. But now it seems you need a keg or more to throw a modern-day tailgate.
The Bills, to their credit, are trying to reel in the parking lot madness. But it seems like an insurmountable task as more and more fans use Bills home gamedays as a way to enter a parking lot culture where nothing seems out of bounds. The good news is that once you're inside the stadium, the Bills have a much better handle on things and the in-game experience is more than tolerable.
I can tell you first-hand, the Erie County Sheriff's Department is watching closely, on the ground and in the air. And what they witness and have to tackle before and after these games is embarrassing.
If only there was a magic way to get into the stadium without passing through the parking lots turned frat house, most fans would be better off.

Canadian Paralympic Committee Launches First Contact Fund and Para-Equipment Fund Call for ApplicationsAugust 22, 2011
Today, the Canadian Paralympic Committee launched the next round of First Contact and Para-Equipment Fund applications!
Deadline for applications: Monday, September 19, 2011
Don't miss out on this opportunity to apply for funds to aid in the creation or expansion of your parasport first contact program. This is a great chance for organizations to move forward with programming for volleyball for athletes with a disability.
This granting process is intended to support the creation of a new program, or go towards the expansion of an existing successful initiative providing a positive introductory parasport experience. Funds may be used towards enhancing program options, such as facility rental space, coaching, volunteer training and more
A successful parasport system begins with increased awareness and recruitment of participants at the grassroots parasport level; a sport cannot have a Podium full of athletes without a playground full of participants. In order to facilitate increased participation of Canadians with a disability at the 'playground' level, the CPC has the First Contact Fund.
The 2010-2011 Para-Equipment Fund (PEF) is a grassroots initiative that aims to assist local and provincial organizations in delivering first contact programming. It is designed to facilitate the participation of an increased number of people with a disability in Para-sport by expanding the availability of introductory-based equipment, particularly for first contact and equipment loan programs.
Grants are awarded to cover 50% of the total cost of the equipment per season (summer/winter), up to a maximum of $5,000 per applicant per season. The applicant is responsible for covering the other 50% of the total equipment costs. Applicants apply by filling out an application form and sending it to the CPC with several required documents such as quotes for equipment and letters of endorsement from national and provincial sport organizations.
For more information on these two programs please visit www.paralympic.ca.
The following CPC staff is available for your First Contact Fund and Para-Equipment Fund questions:

Coordinator, Recruitment Programs

Skip to comments.The Glenn Beck Program, Monday, Apr 22, 2013
Posted on 04/22/2013 7:05:30 AM PDT by Yosemitest
Let us know if he's dropping the big "news bomb" he was discussing on Friday.
And here we go....
Glenn says...
only about 10 hours until he "Determine(s) the Fate of Our Nation".
Here we go!
I usually don't get this show anymore, but am working from home with illness and have the op to tune in via internet. This better be worth his hype.
OH dear Lord get on with it Radio Boy!
He's off air down here in south west FL. About 20-25 mins. now. Hmmmm.
Tagged as 3b....the worst of the worst.....so nice of Michelle Obama went to visit him.
212-3B terrorist label. Gotta look that up.
He started two minutes ago, but nothing yet.
He's talking about the 3B Status. That part Jennifer Griffin reported last week.
Now he's saying the 3B status was altered!
Gov changed the guy's status on deport order. Only 2 people could do this.
Saudis pulling strings with Kerry and Obama Tuesday and Wednesday.
Wednesday 212-3B classification changed.
The file was altered with the deport order which was rescinded.
Then rescinded
Only NCTC director or high level state dept. official can change classification.
Janet seems to have lied..Congressmen Duncan King McCall are a few that know this and have documents.
Congressman Duncan is in possession of the original file!
Congressmen asking for DHS to answer questions. (This will go nowhere because DHS lies.)
Saudi tagged on terrorist watch list but then gave a student visa!!
2 sources...Obama in big trouble!! Big Sis going under the Bus.
I'm sure the mainstream media will get right on this. /s
DHS claims a second Saudi, but no event file created that is known about.
Fox is on it
He was tagged as 3B status FOR the Boston Bombing!
Bet Kerry had it removed and altered!
Student VISA is for OHIO but scumbag Saudi is living in Boston.
Student visa allows him to go to school in Finley Ohio. He has apt. in Boston.
I think Kerry knew it was hot....that is why He kicked it up to Obama...Obama did this...have no doubt!!
Will be transferred from DHS to DOJ. Because it will be an ongoing investigation, they will claim no information can be released.
Not holding my breath.
"I think Kerry knew it was hot....that is why He kicked it up to Obama...Obama did this...have no doubt!!"
I think you are right!
Oh dear, congressmen have the files! Big Sis and SOS Horseface must be "horrified" with the prospect of gutless pansy limp-wristed Repukelicans requesting information they know will never be forthcoming.
This will just be pushed to the DOJ, where they will use the "ongoing investigation" weasel words to deflect any traction for this story.
24 minutes after the hour- nothing... It seems the radio show is an infomercial for BlazeTV...
Thanks for the negativity! Always appreciated!
Sounds almost as if you're rooting for the terrorists or our scumbag government.. rather than trying to find out exactly what's going on?
Our government is hiding someone implicated in the Boston Bombing. Do you care? Geez.
I wonder how much the Saudis are pulling strings at Fox and how much of this will get covered?
Second, will this go anywhere with so much corruption in Washington? The Republicans of late seem to be carrying the democrats water.
And who ordered it? One guess, he's a muslim and lives at 1600 Penn Ave. Washington, DC.
So where's the Saudi now?
Glenn said no one knows. He's either already gone or will be on a plane tomorrow.
Glenn just explained that the burden of proof on this classification is rigorous. I am sure the O administration is gonna spin a tall tale in the classified briefing that he was some under cover agent or has been traded to Saudi government for a higher level perp or some sort of nonsense.
I fear the republicans will just take them at their word and the whole thing will be dropped on national security grounds. These people are slick and so far have not ever been held responsible.
I don't think this story of one more betrayal will get traction with Sally Sweetlies.

Next Generation European Compact Car from Nissan to be Manufactured by Renault in Europe
Nissan announced Friday that it will make the replacement for the current Micra at a Renault plant in Flins, France, from 2016, using available Alliance capacity. Nissan's manufacturing capacity in Europe and India (the current source for the Micra) will be fully utilized ahead, so Renault building the car at its Flins plant cuts capital expense, foreign exchange exposure, and working capital through shorter supply chains. The Nissan Global Media Center spoke with Trevor Mann, Chairman of the Management Committee of Nissan Europe, on the plan.
YOKOHAMA, Japan – Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. today announced that the replacement for the current Nissan Micra compact car will be manufactured at a Renault plant in Europe. Due to start production in 2016, the vehicle will be exported across Europe's left-hand drive markets.
Under the Nissan Power 88 six-year business plan, the company will launch, on average, one new model every six weeks for the duration of the plan. Consequently, available capacity across the relevant plants in the Nissan manufacturing network is already planned to be fully utilized and led the company to look at alternatives within the Renault-Nissan Alliance.
Driven by sales and share expansion across Europe and Russia, Nissan's manufacturing capacity in Europe and India (the current source for the Micra) will be fully utilized in the mid-term period. The decision to propose the vehicle to Renault to build at one of its European plants benefits Nissan in several ways including capital expense reduction, foreign exchange exposure reduction and working capital reduction through shorter supply chains.
Commenting on the decision to propose consignment of the vehicle to a Renault plant, Trevor Mann, Chairman of the Management Committee, Nissan Europe said: "Nissan is pleased to leverage the economic and logistical benefits of sourcing the next generation Micra at a forecasted annual volume of 82,000 units from a Renault plant in Europe. Nissan already sources powertrain from the Cleon facility and the NV400 light commercial vehicle from the Batilly plant."
The Nissan Micra, also sold under the March name in certain markets, is one of the company's most enduring and recognized products. As a global vehicle, the next generation of Micra will also continue to be manufactured outside of Europe, consistent with Nissan's optimized global sourcing strategy.

Welcome to the website of Charles Dowding, innovative gardener, author of seven books on caring for soil and growing vegetables. I also share knowledge through talks, courses and regular magazine articles which won me the award of 2014 Garden Media Guilds 'Practical Journalist of the Year'.
The site shows productive ways to grow food, and with less weeding, using a lovely way of caring for soil – undug and with a light covering of compost on top, based on my experience of growing vegetables without tillage for thirty years. There is more information in my courses, books, talks and videos.
Homeacres is a small, intensive market garden, ideal for teaching, trialling and producing above all. From 900 square metres of beds, there is a steady supply of vegetables and especially salad leaves. With help from Steph in the time-consuming picking and packing, I deliver twice weekly March-October, and once a week in winter, to local shops and restaurants, mostly in Bruton.

Don't forget to top it off. Serve slices of this savory pie with salsa, sour cream and chopped tomato, or go all out with guacamole and red pepper sauce.
Taco seasoning mix puts a fiesta in your mouth! You'll have enough left over to make this recipe again.
Savory Impossibly Easy Pies can be covered and refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking. You may need to bake a bit longer than the recipe directs since you'll be starting with a cold pie. Watch carefully for doneness.

In an effort to ensure that every voter's ballot is cast with the intent of the voter, the El Paso County Clerk and Recorder's Office would like to encourage citizens to watch the video "How to Mark a Ballot". This video was created to show voters how to correctly mark their ballot. Many of the common errors that are seen in the counting process are highlighted in the video.
The Clerk and Recorder's Office encourages all citizens to take a moment and watch this helpful short video. In the last general election the Clerk and Recorder's Office had to duplicate over 6,000 ballots before they were able to be cast. They have mailed over 203,000 mail-in ballots and felt it was important that they help voters mark their ballot correctly.
The video is available on YouTube at http://youtu.be/UwtsJZ4G-vQ. The county's YouTubeChannel is www.youtube.com/clerkepc.

Topic: Access session variables from a plugin
Could anyone tell me how I can access session variables from a plugin that I am writing. The way I want this to work is that when I call a method in the plugin I can specify an argument, but if I don't specify an argument, it gets the argument from the session hash.
Let's say I have a program that models a house, and plugin that has cleaning functions. As I move around the house I keep track of my location as a session variable. If I want to clean the room I'm in, I just have to run the command clean_room, but if I want to clean a different room, I specify the room id like clean_room(4). I would envision the function to look something like this:
#this function is in a file in the plugin's 'lib' directory
def clean_room(room_id = session[:room])
Unfortunately "session" doesn't work. Is there something I can mix into my plugin that will give me access to the session hash?

Skip to comments.Obama Did Not Deny Requests For Help In Benghazi: Aide
Posted on 10/27/2012 1:07:27 PM PDT by edpc
The White House on Saturday flatly denied that President Barack Obama withheld requests for help from the besieged American compound in Benghazi, Libya, as it came under on attack by suspected terrorists on September 11th.
"Neither the president nor anyone in the White House denied any requests for assistance in Benghazi," National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told Yahoo News by email.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
It's OBAMA'S FAULT.
Thank heavens they can't hang that one on Bush. I guess the question to ask is "What would Bush have done?"
He didn't want to p*ss off the newly reorganizing Libya.
What utter bilge from this administration. Even Bill Clinton would have been decent enough to let US forces do what they do best.
Bush would have told all the forces to kick ass, and don't bother taking names until the carnage is being cleaned up.
They've had all this time to scrub anything clean and creat any version they want.
Keep denying, more people will no longer buy it.
Here's the thing: Even if no request for aide was sent out, the Administration, including the President, knew they were in trouble and were under attack. A request for aide should not have been necessary. Aide should have been sent, regardless of requests. It is the Presidents job to assess situations such as Benghazi and act accordingly. Trying to fob it off as no request for aide is BS. They were watching a real time video and knew what had to be done, yet they(bozo)refused to do it. Bozo and the boys are guilty of murdering 4 Americans.
Video of some merit
What he did is a badge of honor in the Muslim Islamic world of the holy jihad on the infidels.
True in the Extreme! A Standing Order Should Have Been In Place. Why such an order was not in place is another question needing an answer from this zer0 crowd.
My follow-up questions to the Obama Aide would be -
Is/was Obama aware of ANY request being made?
When was he informed of such requests?
So these folks were rogue Americans in Benghazi with no bosses in DC? Haha
From the Petraeus response, I took it that these folks were not working for the CIA. So who were these folks working for? Was this intelligence operation under direct supervision of the Director of Intelligence (whatever he's called) at the White House? Did no one who the POTUS hired ask the POTUS to give permission to aid these Americans? Is the POTUS that incompetent at hiring people who know how things work? Does no one at the White House have a conscience? We need to sweep the evil out of DC.
Congress needs to find out who was controlling this operation at the safe house. Follow the money. Will these dead contractors receive an insurance pay out since they were told not to run into the fire?
Interesting. CIA says it did not deny more help.
State Department says it did not deny help.
DOD says it did not deny help.
And now the White House says it did not deny help.
Someone or several folks are lying.
My bet is that it is the White House who is lying
These leakers need to start leaking names, so we can follow the trail of cowardness.
"Either theyre stupid, or theyre even stupider."
I've been saying this for some time. If they say they were not informed and did not know what was going on they were derelict in their duty. If they knew and did nothing - especially when they had the means to do so they should resign
Petraeus essentially blamed Obama for this he should stand up and do that plainly and make any tapes or transcripts the CIA has public.
As Romney so eloquently said about the MSM " Obama's leads from behind "
Ding, ding we have a winner. They didn't issue a denial of assistance, they simply didn't approve the request of assistance. I really think this whole thing is on Valerie Jarrett. She was afraid of sending in the military in case there was a Desert One/Black Hawk Down type incident in an election year. So she sacrificed the lives of everyone in the consulate instead.
Well, there's a third option, Valerie Jarrett could be calling the shots from outside the White House, where ever she is.
From: Charge of the Light Brigade— "Lord Lucan, you have lost the Light Brigade (Me, Sir? I will not be blamed— I followed both verbal and written orders in your handwriting- hands Lord Ragland the written orders—) and Ragland says: "Not MY handwriting, and looks at his adjutant to WHOM he dictated the orders" Adjutant says " I will not be blamed".
Here is short piece on the actual written order now in the National Army Museum in the UK.
There is a lot of precedent for chicken crap leadership all dodging. But in this case we ALL know who was "leading from behind" . I want to know where Valerie Jarrett was, since the p**sy can't make any decision without her OK, poofter that he is.
Is there some kind of rule that you can't quit your job as President? Obama has to know he looks like PeeWee Herman's not very bright brother. He asked for this job. He spent a lot of time, money and effort to become the President. But he doesn't want to do the job? He doesn't want to make the hard calls? Then he should quit. He's got enough money now to have a great retirement for decades. I'm sure Bill Maher and that idiot woman from "sex with me is a pity", could give him some money. And I'm sure he could find something to do to keep busy. He could volunteer at the animal shelter to help make up for those dogs he ate. He could sit in a bar and give legal advice to drunks. The world is his oyster now! He just needs to resign as President and go find that oyster and open it up and reach inside and grab that pearl that's waiting for him! The pearl may look like a black garbage bag, but who wants a racist white pearl anyway.
A suggestion/warning for all ambassadors/embassy staff posted in dangerous areas.
Dont depend on help from POTUS, SOD, SOS or the CIA! They will not respond to any SOSs. Then they will deny that you asked for help.
Buy or rent an Iridium Sat Phone and put Fox News Desk, Rush, Drudge, Rush and Free Republic on your speed dial, to text or call when you dont want to be slaughtered and need help.
That way the liars of this administration in charge of denying protection for you, cant deny that you asked for help.
Dont waste your remaining time contacting ABCNNBCBS! They are too busy protecting Obozo and his liars while looking for binder and racism lies save the butt of the traitor and his fellow thugs!
If you read the comments after the article, it's clear the Yahoo readers know the truth.
Obama didn't want to tarnish his Peace Prize.
Very good question. I'd like to know where Valerie Jarrett was and where David Axelrod was.
Note that the White House has "declined comment" on a.) exactly when the President first learned of the situation in Benghazi and b.) when he first met with his National Security Council on the issue.
It may well be that the President was, for some reason, "not engaged"...
3. He walked away, and went to bed. No affirmative, no denial. Just walked away.
Well, it was reported on 9/12 that Obama had a meeting for with NSA in WA DC at 5PM on 9/11. I remember wondering if it was an internet meeting.
They have video and tape running 24/7 at those places. It is a flip of the switch to send it up to the satellite and out to several different locations.
He granted the request by outsourcing it to the 17th whatever brigade that had already failed to protect the Ambassador.
Remember when he complained that Bush "outsourced" the war in Afghanistan????
Interesting. I hadn't heard that. Timing is right, since the attack began at 3:40 PM Washington time on 9/11.
However, there was a recent report where that direct question was asked of a White House spokesman (not Carney) and the response was a flat "decline to comment".
Because if the rumors are true floating around Washington....THIS WAS HIS OCTOBER SURPRISE...it just went horribly wrong and he was not man enough to save his own people instead he turned an ran.
In diplomatic speech Patraeus was very clear where he was laying the blame and telling the Congress and Senate where this was going to go when pursued.
Obama slept through the 3am calls. There were three.
The buck always stops with someone else today. It's the Washington way today unlike back in Harry Truman's or Dwight Eisenhower's day when the buck stopped right on the President's desk no matter who screwed up. They were big enough men to handle it.
We went from that to "plausible denialibility" under Clinton to complete "denial of responsibility" under Obama in a short 15 years.
The government gets bigger and bigger, and no one ever accepts responsibility for anything that goes wrong even though more and more stuff always goes wrong, but it is never anyone's fault.
Not a good trend for our Republic.
Anytime an ambassador is under attack , the WhiteHouse gets a flash message, and another message is sent to the President's 'situation room '.
The president was notified AUTOMATICLY .
So he was advised .
The question is : "Where did the order to 'stand down' originate from ?
and ... why was the order issued ?
"Petraeus essentially blamed Obama for this he should stand up and do that plainly and make any tapes or transcripts the CIA has public."
I was wondering, though, if they were going to say that sending help from a CIA annex would compromise their cover.
I call BS, Big Time.
Normally you'd hear the trolls singing: "But Bush did this...etc."
Even the trolls are silent.
I'm wondering why Obama hasn't said he ordered a rescue.
People on the west coast seemed to have had a different view of events on 9/11. We heard that there was at least one confirmed dead before dinner, and were watching for updates from the White House that never came. We almost gagged when they announced the next day that it was tied to the silly movie trailer , and that Obama had met with the NSA in DC at 5 PM on 9/11.
This is from my IPad, I am a terrible one finger typist.
thank you.
Well, it was reported on 9/12 that Obama had a meeting for with NSA in WA DC at 5PM on 9/11.
Has it been reported that Obama actually attended this meeting or was he off somewhere doing important things?
It wasn't Petraeus are anybody under him, and it wasn't the Joint Chiefs, and it wasn't Ubama, so evidently Vladimir Putin is running the show.
The system was set to automatically help the Ambassador<<
I was thinking the same thing....... its the way it used to be at least.....The scramble happens on its own!!.....You wait for orders in the air....not on the ground
