Move over, Dick Smith - new 'Move' store has a passion for fashion- the first of its type in the world.
Its big, bright and cool ...but its no Dick Smith. Its time to Move.
"Its not what you need, its what you want" - is the mantra of the new Move "fashtronics" store - Dick Smith's backed emporium of desire, unveiled in Westfield Bondi yesterday - one of the first stores of its kind in the world.
Move is a Gen Y-ers dream - kitted out with mirrors, an arty farty 'fitting table' (where you can design you own covers and put together an "outfit" for your mobile inspired by Vogue et al), mannequins, 'objects of desire' glass cases, Style Pods and cool tunes playing in the backround.
The Move store will also have rotating themes so wont be boring to visit - it's an experience to merge personal tastes and tech.
"Its like going into an Apple store," says Move CEO, Nick Abouud.
But actually, we think its better. Hell, its even got a play area for the kids. The concept store appeals the senses - look, smell (yes Move is perfumed), touch and feel.
Move sells premium, cool gear only - everything from Bang & Olfsen headphones for $499, to Beats Pill speakers and of course, Samsung Galaxy's including the new Note 3, iPhones and Sony's newly launched Xperia Z Ultra and underwater camera - the first retailer in OZ to stock it.
It has wall-to-wall accessories - from colourful Belkin cables, cases, to iPads, phone cases by designers Romance was Born, who designed gear exclusively for the new concept store.
The fitting room
This is where Move wants to "encourage customers to let their inner creativity emerge." It provide scrap book material to inspire creation of unique designs, which can be transferred to a phone cover of choice.
And of course, you can Instagram, Facebook ,Tweet about your objects of desire on Move's massive wall screen, and Style Pod.
Staff wont just fob you off with a product either, they want to spend time with you 1:1 and will demo all products at The Fitting Table. There are also other cute extras like gift wrapping and free phone charging.
Move is certainly a lesson in visual merchandising. The back wall of the store features accessories in primary pantone colours, designed to grab attention on entering, and will change as trends evolve.
Take a look for yourself when Move open to the public from this Saturday in Bondi Junction.
Move will be making a move to Melbourne early next year so expect more to come in high fashion locations, A-demographic across Oz.
The brainchild of ex-Dixons exec, Michael Dykes, who worked on a similar concept called "Blacks' in the UK and Nick Abouud, CEO of Dick Smith, who as a former Myer boss has plenty experience in the rag trade.
The stores will be 150-200sqm and will be "competitive" in price, says Abouud.
But its not just Oz, team Move plan to take the concept global.
As stores around the country close and online eats into bricks and mortar, retail "is all about innovation", says Move CEO.

Morne Steyn was back to his to sharpshooting best on Saturday, leading the Bulls to a 36-34 win over the Brumbies at Loftus Versfeld.
Morne Steyn was back to his to sharpshooting best on Saturday, leading the Bulls to a 36-34 Super Rugby win over the Brumbies at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria.
The Brumbies outscored their hosts five tries to two but Steyn slotted 26 points – including drop goal and a penalty from his own half – as the Bulls claimed their seventh win in nine games.
Despite the loss, Brumbies coach Jake White will be delighted with his team's performance as they showed real fighting spirit to score 21 points in last 12 minutes to claim two bonus points and stay top of the Australian conference at the halfway stage of the tournament.
To be fair on the Bulls, they never really looked like losing after leading 19-13 at the interval and 33-13 around the hour mark.
That said, the Frans Ludeke will know his side will not win a fourth title if they have to rely on Steyn (and lady luck) to make up for a plethora of missed tackles when they jet overseas in a fortnight.
Steyn put the hosts 6-0 ahead early on as he looked to have found his rhythm after a nightmare at the kicking tee in Jo'burg last week.
But the Brumbies responded with two excellent tries – via Henry Speight and Jesse Mogg – that showed some worrying holes in the Bulls defence.
The Loftus faithful were appeased soon afterwards however as Steyn brought them within a point before Bjorn Basson scored at the end of some quick hands in the backline.
A Steyn drop goal gave the Bulls a four-point lead at the break and the Bok fly-half extended the gap with two more penalties after the restart.
The match officials then ensured the lead would grow even further when Steyn appeared to have dropped a simple pass, and while all the players stopped for the knock-on, assistant referee Stefan Breytenbach indicated to ref Marius Jonker that the ball had gone backwards, and CJ Stander bolted 60m to score.
With a 20-point lead, the Bulls looked to have the game in the wrapped up, but the Brumbies came flying back.
Andrew Smith, Anthony Hegarty and Ian Prior all grabbed late tries as the home defence disintegrated.
The scorers:
For Bulls:
Tries: Basson, Stander
Con: Steyn
Pens: Steyn 7
Drop: Steyn
For Brumbies:
Tries: Speight, Mogg, Smith, Prior, Hegarty
Cons: Lealiifano 3
Pen: Lealiifano
Bulls: 15 Zane Kirchner, 14 Akona Ndungane, 13 JJ Engelbrecht, 12 Wynand Olivier, 11 Bjorn Basson, 10 Morne Steyn, 9 Francois Hougaard, 8 Pierre Spies (c), 7 Jacques Potgieter, 6 CJ Stander, 5 Wilhelm Steenkamp, 4 Juandre Kruger, 3 Werner Kruger, 2 Chiliboy Ralepelle, 1 Dean Greyling/Dawie Steyn.
Replacements: 16 Bongi Mbonambi, 17 Frik Kirsten, 18 Gerrit-Jan van Velze, 19 Arno Botha, 20 Jano Vermaak, 21 Louis Fouche, 22 Johann Sadie.
Brumbies: 15 Jesse Mogg, 14 Henry Speight, 13 Andrew Smith, 12 Pat McCabe, 11 Joe Tomane, 10 Christian Lealiifano, 9 Nic White, 8 Fotu Auelua, 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Ben Mowen (c), 5 Sam Carter, 4 Scott Fardy, 3 Dan Palmer, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 Ben Alexander.

Batsman Kane Williamson is standing proud, his treasured Graham Thorpe bat slung over his shoulder.
He's just played a captain's knock and cricket is in good heart at the small Otumoetai Intermediate School.
In fact his 2013 team are proving to be giantkillers in the world of schoolboy cricket.
For two straight years they've dispatched the larger and favoured Tauranga Intermediate during the Milo National Primary Schools' Cricket Competition.
And now for the first time the Otumoetai first XI is off to the finals in Palmerston North.
Unbeknownst to Williamson he will take a leading role bringing his small Bay of Plenty team within a whisker of national glory.
The difference will be a dazzling batting display by Christchurch schoolboy - and future Black Cap teammate - Corey Anderson and four dropped catches.
Williamson, whose sublime career best unbeaten 145 helped New Zealand secure its first one-day series victory in South Africa last month, still vividly recalls the limited overs game that cost his team a tilt at the national title. "I remember very clearly our semifinal against Cobham Intermediate from Christchurch.
"We batted first and got 230 and I managed to get 100 and we had them on the ropes - 20 for four - and then Corey came out to bat and he smashed 90 off 60 balls.
"We had one guy in our team who unfortunately dropped him four times. He finished with cricket after that."
Williamson says despite losing the match it was a big deal for the school.
For two years in a row the Otumoetai boys had beaten local rivals Tauranga Intermediate who fielded the future Black Caps duo of Dougie Bracewell and Trent Boult.
And now the unlikely local champions had triumphed regionally to face the best year seven and eight schoolboy teams from around the country.
Ten years on and Williamson says this match is still a talking point in the Black Caps camp.
"Yeah we were talking about it not long ago with a couple of the Canterbury boys.
"Some of their guys recall the story that Corey got 100 but I'm adamant that he got 90 off 60 balls and he smashed it everywhere. It was ridiculous."
While captain Williamson went on to represent Northern Districts just four years after this photo was taken only a handful of his teammates still play at club level.
But he said there was a special bond forged on the dusty school sportsfield in pursuit of cricketing greatness - even when you're 12 years old.
"I'm friends with them all on Facebook and keep in touch with quite a few of them."

With the new Super Rugby season looming large on the horizon we take a look at each of the 15 competitors. Next up, the Sharks!
With the new Super Rugby season looming large on the horizon we take a look at each of the 15 competitors. Next up, the Sharks!
Last Year: Close but no cigar is probably the best way to sum up the Sharks' efforts last time out. The Sharks finished in sixth place overall and had to travel first to Brisbane to play the Reds in the play-offs and then headed back to South Africa for their semi-final against the Stormers. Travelling to Cape Town and beating the Stormers meant they would have to travel to New Zealand for the final. A third flight in as many weeks meant the Sharks were firm underdogs, and in the end the task was too great. But they gained plenty of respect along the way – becoming the first side in Super Rugby history to win two consecutive play-off matches away from home.
This year: As a squad, the Sharks are close to what should be their peak. The players all have solid Super Rugby experience and have learnt their lessons. Super Rugby is no longer about winning on the road to boost chances of making the play-offs, instead it's won by conquering the national conferences – those mini-tournaments that can fast-track a team to the top three on the overall log. And as the dominant team in the Currie Cup over the past six years, the Sharks are well equipped to do exactly that.
Players to watch: In a team packed with internationals, it's tough to single out stars. But centre Tim Whitehead and captain Keegan Daniel are great examples of the Sharks molding raw potential and grizzled experience into a winning unit, leaving talents like Willem Alberts and JP Pietersen – last year's SA Players' Player of the Year – to break open games with moments of individual brilliance.
Noteworthy signings: Butch James (Lions), Franco van der Merwe (Lions).
Noteworthy losses: Frederic Michalak (Toulon), Ross Skeate (Agen), Steven Sykes (Kings).
Prospects: This talented team need to avoid being remembered as Super Rugby nearly men. John Plumtree's troops have a favourable home draw and will be determined to make it count. The Sharks showed last year that when the team's firing, they have what it takes to beat anyone. Will 2013 be the year that the Sharks end their Super Rugby trophy drought? It's highly possible.

Window System News
By Stanislav Aubrecht on Mar 12, 2008
There are a couple of new features in NetBeans' window system in the latest builds that you may find interesting.
Transparency during window drag'n'drop
When a view or editor window is being dragged in NetBeans, a small, scaled image of that window is shown. The image is also transparent so one can clearly see where the window will be dropped. If it's not allowed to drop window to the new location the image will darken.
Transparency of floating windows
Floating windows (Alt+Shift+D shortcut) are transparent when inactive. Should be useful for various palette and helper windows.
Floating window snapping
Floating windows snap to each other and to screen edges so it much easier to nicely arrange windows on your desktop. Unfortunately there's no way to detect if native window management provides snapping too so there may be some clashes unless you turn one or the other off...
These effects probably won't make you more productive in NetBeans IDE but I think they may be handy if you are building your own applications on NetBeans platform.
Note: The transparency effects were implemented using the excellent JNA library (Java Native Access). It should work straight out of the box on MS Windows and on Mac OS X. Composite window manager is needed on Linux

It's supposed to be the greatest rivalry in rugby, but very few pundits expect the Springboks to beat the All Blacks in Dunedin on Saturday.
It's supposed to be the greatest rivalry in rugby, but very few pundits are backing the Springboks to beat the All Blacks in Dunedin on Saturday.
Most expect the hosts to show Heyneke Meyer and co. why 'total rugby', when executed correctly, will always be superior to the one-dimensional style to which the Boks insist on confining themselves.
The Springboks' stubbornness in sticking to what they believe is a tried-and-tested formula – and by extension their selection policy – has been the greeted by widespread frustration not only in the Republic, but around the world as fans beg to see the Boks use some of the attacking talents at their disposal.
Earlier this week we ran a poll asking who you would pick at 10 and 15 for the Boks. Of the eight options provided, Meyer's preferred combination ranked… a distant seventh.
Less than four per cent of the fans who voted reckon that Morne Steyn and Zane Kirchner are the right men for the job. Overwhelmingly our readers feel that either Johan Goosen or Pat Lambie, or a combination of the two, should be South Africa's playmakers.
It's easy to criticise Steyn's lack of invention, but he is only doing what he is told. And to be fair to Meyer, if South Africa are going to persist with employing their current tactic (and I use the singular form intentionally, because it's abundantly clear there is no 'plan B') then Steyn IS the best choice.
And judging by some comments from the Bulls fly-half this week, the Boks have no intention of changing the approach that brought them their last Tri-Nations title back in 2009.
"We've won a Tri-Nations with the same game-plan and in 2007 we won the World Cup with these tactics. We have to stay with this strategy," he said.
So, it worked against equally one-dimensional Argentina and England at a World Cup five years ago so it can't be wrong?
True, the hit-'em-hard-and-kick-it-high approach bore fruit in 2009 when Joe Rokocoko and Sitiveni Sivivatu, who were hopelessly out of form at the time, were found wanting under the high ball. But to simply expect the current crop of Kiwis to wilt under pressure in the same fashion is more than naive, it's just plain foolish.
Every defensive coach in world rugby has seen it all before and has had years and years to come up with the necessary solutions.
But the more we shout, the more the siege mentality in the Bok camp is entrenched. Meyer says he doesn't care that his team have been written off, that he's used to being criticised and has instead highlighted the fact that he is leading an inexperienced team in country where the Boks have not enjoyed much success.
Sure, you can't replace the players he's lost overnight, but surely that is all the more reason to build a new strategy around the next generation of talents at his disposal?
The furore over the Boks living in denial has gone a long way to overshadow the fact that the All Blacks were given an almighty scare by Argentina last week.
As much as that result is a reflection of just how good the Pumas are, if truth be told, the Kiwis weren't at their best and their error count was uncharacteristically high. Some calm heads from experienced players saw them home though as their approach to the game ultimately proved the same point we expect again this weekend: If you keep moving the ball, gaps will eventually open up. Compare that to the Boks' inability to put the Pumas away in both Cape Town and Mendoza.
While this will be South Africa's first visit to Forsyth Barr Stadium, the Springboks' last visit to the deep south and the now defunct 'House of Pain' (Carisbrook) in 2008 resulted in victory. But don't read too much into that, the Boks have won just three times in New Zealand in the professional era.
Some pundits have suggested that this game might be a crossroads for South Africa, arguing that if they get hammered, they'll be forced to rethink their strategy.
But there are too many class players in the visitors' side for this to turn into a massacre. If South Africa come anywhere near winning, the coaching staff will see it as vindication of their outdated thinking and we'll be back to square one. In that case, the real losers will be everyone who wants to see exciting rugby.
Players to watch:
For New Zealand: Officially, Piri Weepu has been handed back the number nine shirt because Aaron Smith was a naughty boy and staying out too late but it would not have been a huge surprise if the World Cup winner had been bumped up from the bench anyway. After a poor Super Rugby season, Mr Fixit has looked much better in a Black jersey (not least because he has lost 10kg) and was a steadying influence when the Kiwis needed calm heads in Wellington. With the hosts looking to play at a high tempo on a dry track, Weepu will be keen to show he can keep up with the pace and regain a regular starting berth. Axed from the team last week for simply not being good enough, Sam Whitelock returns with a point to prove – South Africa's line-out will provide a real test of his skills.
For South Africa: With a grand total of one Premiership game for Bath and 23 minutes against Australia under his belt, Francois Louw has been brought into the Bok starting XV with the specific task of beating Richie McCaw on the ground. No pressure, then. Whilst Flo's inclusion has been welcomed by many as a step in the right direction, the fact that it comes at the expense of Marcell Coetzee – South Africa's best player this year and their only forward with any pace – has only heaped even more pressure onto Louw's shoulders. How many Test tries would Bryan Habana have scored if he had been born in New Zealand? Despite being starved of opportunities to gallop in space, he always finds a way to get involved.
Head-to-head: Incredibly, there are just three players in the All Blacks starting team this weekend that were also in the run-on side when they last played the Springboks in Port Elizabeth last August. One of them, Israel Dagg, must be licking his lips at the prospect of being kicked at by Zane Kirchner. If the SA back three get it even slightly wrong, they'll be punished. The equation is simple: give Dagg, Jane and Savea ammunition and you'll get shot.

Le Cannet
In the summer of 1909, Bonnard worked for the first time on the Mediterranean coast — at St Tropez. He was following the example of other painters of his generation — Paul Signac, Henri Matisse, Henri Manguin, Albert Marquet — whose art had been influenced by the Mediterranean light and environment of the South of France. The discovery of this radiant light and luminous colour, so different from northern Europe, was a key experience for Bonnard and he returned to this region year after year, living there from 1939.
While Bonnard continued to work and exhibit in Paris, he travelled abroad and spent long periods in Vernonnet and northern France. Then in 1926 he bought a house in Le Cannet, on the Côte d'Azur not far from Cannes and Nice, where his friend Matisse lived. By 1931 the house at Le Cannet, called Le Bosquet (The Grove), was Bonnard's favourite place to work. In 1939 it became his permanent home from which he seldom travelled. He produced more than 200 paintings and dozens of drawings at Le Cannet. — studies of Marthe, often standing in the bathroom or lying in the tub; still lifes; self-portraits; interiors; and views onto the countryside from various windows and doors.
Le Cannet was crucial to the evolution of Bonnard's notion of landscape. In March 1935 he confided to his friend Edouard Vuillard:
I have become a landscape painter … because I have acquired the soul of a landscape painter and have begun to get rid of the picturesque, the aesthetic, and other conventions that have poisoned me.
The acts of creation became longer and longer towards the end of Bonnard's life, not only because of his self-critical attitude but also because of the political circumstances of occupied France during World War II, which led to his virtual exile in Le Cannet where he became quite introverted. If there is one motif that expresses Bonnard's reclusive situation in an exemplary way it is the small tiled bathroom at Le Bosquet, with Marthe lying stretched out or kneeling in the tub, as if captured, exposed to the play of light and reflected colour that transforms the space into a place of mysterious regeneration and recreation.

At the Seventh District court in Castle Dale on Oct. 16, Randy John Behling pled guilty in a plea deal arrangement with the Emery County Attorney's Office. Brent Langston is the deputy county attorney and he indicated that the terms of reckless endangerment could be met, but the manslaughter charge was problematic and would possibly not be bound over. Behling was originally charged with manslaughter.
The case stems from a shooting on July 28 in Behling's Ferron home which left 22 year old A'Lisa Weston dead. She had allegedly went to Behling's home after a fight with her boyfriend. She said she was suicidal. Behling then produced a 40 caliber pistol from his closet which he gave to the victim. From there the picture gets fuzzy as Behling alleges she pointed the gun at her head and then lowered the gun and the gun went off while pointed at her chest. He also told investigators that he chased her around the house trying to get the gun away and telling her not to shoot herself.
Behling called 911 and the 911 tape was released in August. On this tape was the call from a distraught Behling who told the Emery County dispatch, "Come here now, a girl just shot herself with my 40 caliber pistol." He then pleaded with the girl to breathe.
Tests indicated that both parties had been drinking. The autopsy revealed that Weston died of a self-inflicted gun shot wound.
Langston contends there is no evidence to support the victim's family's allegations that Behling pulled the trigger.
On Tuesday, Behling pled guilty in Seventh District Court to two counts of reckless endangerment, a class A misdemeanor, and the other charges were dismissed.
When Behling was released from jail in July after the incident it was with the condition he enter an in-house rehabilitation center. It was reported he completed this 60 day treatment program.
He is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 15, 2013.
Melissa Weston is the victim's mother and she said she is disappointed in the legal system.

LIVE BLOG... from the Draft floor
Jason Gregor
June 26 2009 10:51AM
11:00 am MST
It pays to get up early some days.
Because I got my accreditation late I wanted to make sure everything was still good, so I hoofed it to the Bell Centre. I wasn't on the list, which I expected, but once I showed my card I got my mug shot. I now work for the TEAM 1250, not 1260. It's a better keepsake that way.
There are seven rows with 14 seats in the media riser, and with so many media present, I fully expected to be in the overflow seating in section 12;, until I ran into Julie in the NHL PR. We chatted and I found myself in row seven on the media riser. I have a perfect view of the draft floor and it will be much easier to write on a table rather than using my knees as a make shift table. Julie is all class, and she gets another Nation shout out. I'd send the picture, but I'm an idiot and forget the cord to transfer pics from camera to computer. I'll have them when I get home.
It's the calm before the storm right now. It's noon and slowly the media is trickling in. I ran into some people as I was walking here and here's what I got.
- Heatley talk is at a stand still right now. The Sens want a lot, and most teams aren't willing to pony up. Heatley's agent, JP Barry and his CAA branch are taking a beating in the papers right now. Pundits are claiming it was irresponsible of them to leak the story, because it makes it harder to deal him. CAA is adamant they didn't leak the story, and feel it was probably Sens GM Bryan Murray, and then he could make Heatley look like the bad guy. This situation might get even uglier. I think the CAA camp has a legitimate beef. If the Sens don't make a deal before July 1st and pay Heatley the $4 million he is owed then many expect Murray to play hard ball and force Heatley to come to camp.
- Many wondered if Kevin Lowe could have gotten more for the Human Rake if he had played hardball. I'd like to see how it plays out for Murray if he chooses that route. If a deal is going to happen, it sounds like Heatley will have to be open to more teams. I still can't get exactly what Minny was offering, but it didn't include Burns or Koivu. It sounds like Murray's demands are too high right now.
- The Souray trade talk is heating up again. It sounds like the Oilers are willing to move him. Speculation is Souray and the Oilers 10th for LA's 5th pick, and something else. The Oilers really like Evander Kane. They have a history of making moves, so I won't rule it out. It makes sense on many fronts. Kings get veteran D-man and stay in top ten. Souray gets closer to family. Oilers get high prospect and free up some cap space. The key is what the "something else" is.
- The Leafs are trying to get another first round pick. They've been interviewing lots of mid to late first round picks this morning including, Camrose Kodiak, Dylan Olsen. I literally bumped into him walking here and asked him how his morning was. He'd just finished an interview with the Rangers, and earlier this morning had talks with the Islanders and Leafs, and was in a rush to get to an interview with the Blackhawks. It's a pretty stressful day for these young kids. You don't realize it until you see them. It will be a huge relief whenever his name is called.
- Currently the Sharks are the only team without a first rounder. The Islanders have the 26th pick, but look for Doug Wilson to get involved. Word is he wants to get in the first round, and Ryane Clowe is one of the pieces in place.
12:30 p.m. MST
Took a quick lunch break at the Cage Au Sports, the sports bar right in the Bell Centre, and what a meal. That's just another reason why sports fans in Edmonton deserve a new rink. I took a quick outside tour and they have four "action" statues of Maurice Richard, Jean Beliveau, Howie Morenz and Guy Lafleur. They are great, and then there is a line up of plaques down the side wall with other Montreal legends. (Pics will be up when I return...idiot that I am).
Some more rumblings...
The Kings supposedly offered Frolov and the 5th for Heatley. The Sens said no thanks.
And this seems to be the start of the Souray rumours. Let's play a little scenario.
Steve Tambellini finds out that the Kings are willing to move their 5th, so he makes a call. Keep in mind that even though the Human Rake to LA deal didn't happen, that doesn't mean the Kings weren't trying to acquire him and might still be interested in a top two D-man.
This is where the Oilers and Souray come in. Souray's value is at an all-time high right now. It might stay there for a few years, or it could be like the housing market in Edmonton; Piqued and is now on a downslide.
My gut still says it is a long shot, and I still don't buy that the Kings will move the #5 pick, because that goes against everything that Lombardi has done in building a pretty good stable of young talent., but remember the Kings surprised everyone in 2007 when they took Hickey at #4.
It seems pretty obvious that the Kings and Lightning are the teams in the top five that will listen to offers about their pick. The Bolts will considering moving the #2 if Hedman goes to the Islanders, if he doesn't then BOOK it that he will go to Tampa. Colorado and Atlanta have given the impression they are pretty secure at 3 and 4 respectively.
But the best story is that no one seems to know what the Islanders are going to do.
Many think they like Duchene, but won't take him at #1, but rather trade down a spot or two to get him and another pick. The uncertainty of the Islanders could set the ball in motion as far as teams trying to move up in the draft.
And the Vinny talk is still dominating the floor. What if Montreal can acquire him? This place would go nuts.
If Tampa doesn't get Hedman and take Tavares, would that make them more likely to move Vinny? It's almost mind blowing thinking of all the possibilities.
And can anyone tell me how I can disengage the update that goes to my cell phone telling me JOE SMITH is now following you on twitter. I love that people are following me there, but my phone has been ringing all day with these updates. I need to figure out how to stop it...ha
1:30 p.m MST
Right now...Front and centre in the middle of draft floor Brian Burke is on the horn.
He looks relaxed, his gum is getting one hell of a work out, tie undone, pacing back and forth in an area where no one can hear what he is saying. I wish I had one of those big cones that allows you to hear things from 50 feet away..
**Makes check list for next year...cord thingy for computer and camera...Cone thingy to hear things...Get a tech book to know what the hell Firefox and Chrome is...****
2:45 p.m MST
Regarding the Oilers/Thrasher rumour, (Oilers 4th, Cogliano and Gilbert for Lehtonen, Armstrong and #4) I just got a text that says that package is not correct, but they have had talks.
Discussions are happening, because the Oilers feel they need to get #4 to get Kane.
Kane is drawing comparisons to being 90% of what Jarome Iginla is as a player. If that is indeed the case then he'd be a great pick up.
I know this for sure...The Oilers are trying hard to move up. If they don't it won't be the end of the world for them, but they feel this is a great opportunity for them, and it would be the first time ever that the Oilers have moved up in the top ten in any draft.
Fans have already started to show up. The second deck is almost full. A "go Leafs go "chant was quickly booed and replaced by "Lets' go Habs." We are still more than two hours away from the official start but the fans here are just as anxious as NATION readers to get this going.
3:00 p.m MST
Teams are starting to file in. Scott Howson and the Blue Jackets are here...most of the Devils staff, sand big Lou...I just went down the stairs to say congrats to the hall of famer. Good guy. He's pretty humble about his Hall of Fame nomination.
*** Now they are pumpin out some Black Eyed Peas...Gotta get that...or Boom Boom Pow...not sure what title is, but some heifers are dancing in the second deck...I didn't need to see that.***
Still no sighting of anyone from the Oilers, or Thrashers or Kings or Islanders.
But the rumble on the floor is that the Islanders are leaning towards Duchene. That would be quite the start to the draft.
Now the Coyotes, Kings, Bruins, Ducks, and a few members of the Senators are on the floor.
Cam Neely and Brian Burke and a long and laugh-filled convo.
Howson and Ducks GM Bob Murray and Chiarelli from Boston are talking. The Bruins currently have #25, while the Ducks have 15 and Jackets 16. The Bruins have talked about wanting to move up, so maybe something will happen between them.
3:23 p.m. MST
The man of the hour has arrived. Garth Snow is in the HOUSEEEEE...okay so there was no theme music but right now he has everyone guessing what he will do. Most teams are here, except Chicago, Pittsburgh, NYR, Nashville,St. Louis, Calgary and Atlanta the the Oilers. It makes you wonder if the Thrashers and Oilers are still trying to hammer something out.
I just spoke with Rishaug and Dreger from TSN and they confirm that the Thrashers have indeed made it clear they are now open to offers. The Oilers are interested in that pick, but so are the Kings, Leafs and Dallas Stars. It might be a bidding war.
The Senators have lowered their trade demands for Heatley. They were supposed to be looking for a top-six forward, top-four D-man and a pick/prospect, but have relented a bit. Heatley's value seems to be diminishing as the day goes on.
The Canadiens management team has arrived to a huge roar from the crowd.
4:00 p.m. MST
The Oilers arrived about five minutes ago and right away Tambellini and Lowe were swarmed by TSN guys. Lots of laughing but didn't look like they got much out of them.
Had a great conversation with Daryl Evans, colourman on Kings broadcasts and former NHLer. He is certain the Kings will draft a forward, with all their depth on the backend. He fully expects the Kings to make a move via trade or free agency for sure.
Lots of friendly convo going on between media and various team management types, but it seems like the calm before the storm right now. Let's get it on.
4:36 p.m. MST
As of right now the Oilers have nothing definite, but it is still an hour away from the 4th and 5th picks, and even longer until their own pick.
Remember how late their deals came about at the deadline with O'Sullivan and Kotalik.
Craig Button said on my radio show earlier this week that many teams overvalue their pick on draft day, and that's why many deals fall through at the last moment, because the ransom is just too much.
It sounds like that might be the case with the Thrashers. Their demands for the Oilers might be too rich right now. Tambellini won't over pay, because the Oilers still feel they can get a quality player at #10. If they don't move up, I'd expect Glennie or MPS to be called by the Oilers.
Bruins just got introduced and got booed heavily. Gotta love rivalries.
5:06 p.m. MST
Former Habs owner George Gillette address the crowd. Lots of energy in the building. Each team had to announce who would call the name of their draft pick, and it will be Steve Tambellini for the Oilers.
Everyone is waiting patiently for this to start. There has been a bit of a delay, and now they are showing highlights of some of the top prospects. Tavares was shown first...is that foreshadowing, we shall see soon.
This big screen is crystal clear. It is awesome.
Now there are previewing Hedman. I hope they don't do the top ten or the draft won't start until 5:30
5:11 p.m MST
Dreger reports that Pronger has been dealt to Philly. It sounds like Lupul, but more details to come. The Flyers continue to surprise, and now maybe Lupul and Pronger have been involved in a deal for the second time.
5:17 p.m MST
Finally the first pick. Garth Snow makes everyone wait a bit more with some thanks to Montreal and their fans and then he goes with what I expected John Tavares. The fans at Nassau are busting it out with some confetti. A strong contingent of Islander fans here are cheering loudly.
Expect Hedman #2 and then Duchene #4...The intrigue will come if the Thrashers hold their pick or deal it.
5:53 p.m MST
WE had to wait 25 minutes to talk to Tavares. Well spoken young man, and he is very focused on bringing back success to Long Island. I knew the Islanders would take him, it was too big of a risk to pass up on a guy with his goal scoring ability. Hedman might be just as good, but the Islanders needed a scorer.
THey are playing highlights of players blocking shots on the big screen. Classic. And every time they show a picture of Vinny the place goes nuts. If the Habs somehow trade for him, I bet there will be a five minute ovation.
Larsson is soft, but it isn't surprising that the Coyotes took him. They have made some horrible first round picks and he might be another.
The "67" chant rains down from the rafters. That is awesome. That is a great chant. If the Oilers ever win the Cup again, you can bet that the next year Oiler fans will chant Eighty...NINE when the Flames come to town.
Burke can't even speak. This is one of the few times he has to pause before he speaks, so he'll probably say something good. Kadri is a solid pick. His tenacity is his best asset say the scouts.
6:31 p.m MST
I will be stunned if the Oilers don't choose LW Magnus Paajarvi Svensson. If they do I wonder if they will stitch both names on the back of the jersey. His numbers don't show it 7-10-17 in 50 games in the SEL, but they like his speed and offensive prowess.
I'll be curious if he stays in Sweden of they bring him over to play Major Junior.
He can skate, and some compare him to Markus Naslund. We'll go see what MacGregor and company have to say about him.
7:15 p.m. MST
MacGregor on Svensson.."He's a big power forward who takes it to the net and is a great skater. He's already played in two world junior tournament and will have another opportunity to play in Saskatoon this year. His game is an up tempo game and that's what we are hoping he can play in the NHL"
I also asked MacGregor about the plan looking ahead to round two and beyond.
"For our second pick we are going to go with a projection pick, a player that has a real big upside. Before I came to talk to you we were looking at what the scenarios would be and if we could make an attempt to try and get back in the first round"
7:30 p.m. MST
The Hab fans go nuts when the Canadiens are put on the clock. It was deafening in here. They start to sing their patented O le O le O le Ohhh lee song. They are hoping for a trade annoncement with Tampa Bay, but it won't happen. The Bolts aren't moving Vinny at this moment.
7:36 p.m MST
Hab fans give Louis Leblanc a standing ovation after his name is called at #18.
The Oilers are working the phones and might have another pick before the day is out.
They liked D-man John Moore and he is still available, also Carter Ashton is still out there...
7:51 p.m. MST
The Flames trade down three picks and add a 3rd rounder from New Jersey. Could the Devils "Parise" them like they did the Oilers back in 2003. The Devils moved five spots to take Parise, while the Oilers got the 22nd and 68th picks which turned out to be Pouliot and Jacques.
The Devils just took Jacob Josefson, the 4th Swede taken in the first round already.
8:26 p.m. MST
The energy in the building is similar to the feeling on the Nation...subdued. It was a good ride, but now they want it to end. You have to be respectful of the young kids waiting for their name to be called.
Awkward moment of the day comes for the Johansson family. Marcus Johansson went 24th to the Capitals and his family was very excited, his mom gave him the longest kiss or any mom on the day. It was good comedic relief for the crowd and got a mixed reaction.
Just going to interview Tambellini will be back with his thoughts in a bit.
8:52 p.m MST
I asked Tambellini how close he was to moving up into the top five.
"We knew that at pick ten it would take something incredible for us to move. If I had a pick in the top four, I don't think I would have moved to far down, maybe five or six, but to move to ten it would have taken a lot for that team to accept our deal."
Does the Pronger trade reveal how much it will cost to get a superstar? Is the asking price that high?
"Depends on who the player is I guess. Pronger is a dominant player and he will change what Philly looks like. That is a franchise type move, not just a player move. "
Do you think something will still be available on the table tomorrow?
I don't know. There is so much discussion, it's almost like the trade deadline where you feel like you've talked to everyone a dozen times around the horn. There was so much talk coming into today I thought maybe there would be a little bit more than what happened, but it could be tomorrow. There's lots that can happen tomorrow or before July 1st."
That wraps up day one from the 2009 NHL entry draft. Only one big move, and a move by the Flyers that has many wondering if they overpaid for the Human Rake, giving up Joffrey Lupul, Luca Sbisa and two first rounders. The Oilers did get a LW but it wasn't Heatley who many fans were hoping for.
And I wonder if the Flames in fact gave the Devils some compensation for signing Brent Sutter. The Flames had the 20th pick and traded down to Devils pick at 23. The Flames did get a 3rd rounder, but you wonder if that was a back door hand shake.
Talk to you tomorrow.

Assuming your going off the theory that we acquired #4 OV, if we miss out on Kane, Tambellini leaps over the table, smashing Lowe's face accidentally as he dashes up to the podium, and red-faced and short of breath, screams out either Duchene, Tavares or Hedman, whoever dropped out of the top three and begins to weep with joy furiously.
I don't think we have to worry about missing Kane if we get #4 OV.

He's absolutely right about the girls here. Effing phenomenal.

If I hear the Oilers pick Evander Kane I will learn how to do a back-flip, or die trying. If not, I guess it just isn't in the cards for the Oilers to draft a Kane. *remembers the last Kane we missed out on*
Evander...that name is worth the risk..
Marc Pouliot + Evander Kane + Ales Hemsky = The "Meh" line..

If Kessel's demands of close to $5 million are accurate then no one will want him. Krecji just signed for $3.75, is Kessel better than him. Ask Bruin fans and I bet the answer is no.
Although $5M is steep, it's not outrageous for a 21 year old 36 goal scorer, provided that it's at least a 5 year deal. He's also right handed and had a respectable 48.3 faceoff percentage.
Regardless of his salary demands, it's surprising that a potential franchise player would only get Kaberle in return. I don't think Kaberle is any better than Markov, Spacek, or even the upside of Grebeshkov.

Between trying to keep Gregor in line with formatting and trying to talk to the tech guys this is the least fun/most fun I have had during an NHL entry draft since it came to Edmonton all those years ago and the Oilers picked Steve Kelly over Shane Doan.
It was then that I saw Bob McKenzie eat a hamburger in literally two bites. A 13 or 14 year old Wanye had never seen a burger disappear so fast.

I can understand his confusion. They aren't using a liveblogging software, so its techinically not a "live" blog. The page doesn't update itself, you have to refresh it. In that respect, its not a traditional liveblog like those offered at TSN.ca and other sites.
But yes, this is the "liveblog."

Customer Reviews
Comments: This is a really good net for the sale price. Netted a 6lb fish with it already and it handled well. Make sure you put a lock washer on the nut that holds the net to the handle because it will fall off.
From: Bass Junky: AR 8/28/14
Comments: This net is worth the money. I have had nets that cost twice the price and they worked no better. The shorter handle is perfect on my kayak for bass, trout, walleye and even for rockfish. I ended up zip tying the handle open with about half a dozen ties. I put a piece of a pool noodle around the handle so it floats if I drop it. The net material is real nice on those trout.
From: Ray: Kirkland, WA 8/19/14
Comments: Bought this net to replace a cheap nylon net that I've had for I forget how long. I fish out of a kayak and was looking for something smaller. This was not it. My entire old net, handle and all, fits inside the loop on this net. It dwarfs 12" crappie and provides plenty of room for 3lbs bass and dinosaur pickerel to swim around in circles without actually realizing they've been netted. On the plus side, the folding handle and some creative bungee cord on my crate stores fairly easily. The rubber net repels hooks and is gentle on fish. Feels solid landing fish with the handle locked out. No regrets picking it up at the clearance price.
From: Adam: NC 4/7/14
Comments: Nice net for the money. Good if you fish from a smaller boat and need space. Dipped Nylon prevents hooks from becoming tangled. Not a tournament net but perfect for fun fishing. Just make sure the screw/nut attatching the handle is tight. Great buy.
From: Eric: Northridge, CA
Comments: This is the cheapest net I have ever seen. I just got it and am amazed at how week the handle to hoop connection is. No wonder its on clearance. Dont Buy this net.
From: Mike: FL
Comments: Just got this net, have not used it. If you are a club guy or have space issues, this is a great looking net. Handle folds making storage easy, net is coated, with flat bottom. I would say that if you are hard core, fish lots of tournaments, you probably want something a little more heavy duty, long term the handle pivot might be a concern. For $15 on sale it was a steal.

This product is also available in these versions:
In The Studio (MP3), MP3 (£7.99)
1995 is the 20th anniversary of the founding of Chiswick Records, the company that eventually evolved into Ace Records. Later in the year there will be celebratory events and promotion around the anniversary date, but this Whirlwind collection begins a great reissue programme of the original Chiswick acts. Upcoming albums include sets from The Count Bishops, Johnny Moped, The Radiators From Space, a Whirlwind "live" album and a Chiswick sampler.Whirlwind began in 1976 at a rock'n'roll club in Uxbridge. At the time there were no reissue labels to supply the kind of well-mastered rock'n'roll collections that a label like Ace now provides, so the fans relied on an underground scene of exchanged and collected original records and a few revival bands.Whirlwind quickly proved no mere imitators of earlier styles. Founded by singer Nigel Dixon (who would later go on to play in Havana 3AM with ex-Clash bassist Paul Simonon) and drummer Phil Hardy, and joined by lead guitarist Mick Lewis and bassist Chris Emo, they quickly became an in-demand rockabilly band on the rock'n'roll club circuit and surprisingly were even supported by the burgeoning punk scene. A Speakeasy residence followed and a record deal for the infant Chiswick label that resulted in Whirlwind's debut album 'Blowin' Up A Storm' (complete with Stuart Colman sleevenotes and a Barney Bubbles-designed sleeve), released in January 1978.Phil Hardy left shortly afterwards and was replaced by Garry Hassett.By the time the band made their second album 'Midnight Blue', they were big enough to secure the support tour slot to Blondie. Sadly, during that tour, Hassett was taken ill and rather than change the line-up, they decided to call it a day.In a doubly sad 1993, Nigel Dixon succumbed to cancer and later the same year, so did Phil Hardy.This CD and its companion volume (which will cover Whirlwind's "live" performances) show what talent has been lost to the UK pop scene and how vital and entertaining Whirlwind's brand of rockabilly really was.

Customer Reviews - Canada
This app is great to use and very simple to use. It has every course and gives you lots of options
Love it!!!
Intuitive powerful, and stable.
Works like a charm for all the courses I attend. Customer support is amazing at updating and adding new courses on request as well. Saves a lot of money not having to buy a seperate GPS!
Works like a charm for all the courses I attend. Customer support is amazing at updating and adding new courses on request as well. Saves a lot of money not having to buy a seperate GPS!
Absolutely love this app! Easy to use, great detail and has info on courses I did not expect it to have.
It's biggest benefit to me is when you shank it to another fairway. The yardage helps you perfectly. In the 3+ years I've used it, I've dropped 3-5 strokes per round.
It's the best golf app overall!!!
Excellent app, has not improved my golf swing but it has made choosing my clubs much easier. I love the stats feature as well. One time payment for so much, great deal.
For 29.99 you replace or avoid buying pricey GPS gadgets and this has more capabilities. Aside from te accurate an amazing GPS the stats keeping and shot tracking is amazing.
Great app, worth every dollar. Precise and never crashes. Best caddy ever!!!
Great app, worth every dollar. Precise and never crashes. Best caddy ever!!!
Great app! Don't play a round without using it. Would recommend it to anyone.
Best app on my 4s. I have only played 2 rounds with it, but it is easy to use, love the scorecard, and swing tracking. I have checked yardages on my course and they seem accurate. Love it. Best app on my phone by far.
I have used this app all summer and find it fantastic. I love the handicap tracker and the score card - saves on paper!
Whata great product - so helpful when determining yardage, plus you get a complete score card and statistics. Wish I had this years ago
Great app!!! The GPS on the carts at two of the first courses I played matched Golfshot to the yard. My buddy's Skycaddy matched Golfshot as well (he hid my phone ... I guess he was jealous).
Bought the app and only have used it for 6 rounds and I will never get another range finder. I compared it with my buddies skycaddie and it was within 2 yards. And so easy for tracking scores and stats. Definitely worth the 30 bucks!!
I've used thus for 2 years now and I have out away my standalone gps. So much more convenient to have it on your phone, so easy to use, and certainly as accurate as any other gps unit. Highly recommended.
Great tool to make up your mind and create a good game plan. Affordable. Love the stats and graphics. Great tool in my phone.
Very interesting app for stats. Yardage tends to be accurate with patience. It can take between 30-60 seconds before we get a fair yardage but it's worth every penny.
Excellent app. The yardage is very accurate. 18 holes only took me 40% of the battery. All the same info of a 400$ GPS for 30$!
This is a great app. The yardages are accurate and I love the stats. I use my laser finder along with this app. It's great. I recommend this app for everyone. It gives yardages to the 100-125-150 and obviously the front/middle/back of the green from any position you are at. If you don't buy this you aren't into golf. Well worth the price. It uses 30% of your battery for every round on the iPhone 4s. Not so bad.
This app is better than most $300 range finders out there, for a tenth the cost. I am surprised those products are still around (not much longer I assume). Only minor issue is battery drain. Fix that and you get 5 stars! I sometimes play 36 and it only lasts the first round.
vraiment bien fait et détaillé trop bien pour les golfeurs amateur tres précis

Comments: Absolutely awesome jerk bait! Won a tournament on pickwick yesterday with 20lbs including a 7.04 and 6.14 coming off the ghost chart shad. Everybody else was throwing the A rig but they weren't on the swimming shad. You had to get it down to that 10-12ft range then just twitch it and they would kill it. The 7.04 had the jerk completely crossways inits mouth. Even caught the first northern pike ive ever caught yesterday on it on pickwick. Great bait highly recommend.
From: Will: Tuscumbia, AL
Comments: Hey Sam from NorCal...U probably bought the Staysees 90 ver. 3 instead of the Staysees 90 ver. 2. The ver. 3 is a slow sink whereas the ver. 2 is a suspending model.

Weighing yourself immediately after wearing a "sweat" suit, getting into a sauna, or finishing an intense workout might (or might not) show a loss on the scale. But that is temporary water loss that will come back after you rehydrate yourself by drinking. Remember—you're trying to lose fat, not simply "weight" or water weight.
This is a good reason to not weigh yourself more than once a week. The Fitness Resource Center has several articles that expand on this idea, including Body Composition Measures Results and Measure Progress Without the Scale.
Setbacks Are Normal
No one is perfect. You can expect to hit some bumps in the road, no matter how hard you're trying. The important thing is not to let those bumps get you totally off track, but to learn from them and move forward.
The article "1 Step Back, 2 Steps Forward", located in the Motivation Resource Center, offers tips for dealing with setbacks, and Coach Dean's message board post about staying motivated includes even more helpful advice.
Eating Less Isn't Always Better
A lot of people assume that the less you eat, the faster you will lose. One of the biggest mistakes dieters make is not eating enough. Your calorie range is based on your current weight, goal weight, how aggressive your goal is (whether you want to lose weight quickly or slowly) and how much exercise you are doing. Your recommended calorie range might seem like a lot of food—especially if you are accustomed to fad, restrictive diets.
But if your body is not getting enough nutrients and calories (especially if you eat less than your recommended calorie range), your metabolism will slow down. This is called "starvation mode" because your body thinks it is experiencing a famine, so it starts holding onto every calorie you give it, making weight loss much slower or impossible, and weight gain more likely. That's why it's so important to eat within your calorie range. If you aren't, you could be doing more harm than good.
Hopefully these tips will help you avoid many of the common pitfalls dieters face, and deal with the ups and downs of weight loss more easily. Hang in there! It's not always easy, but you can do it!

If you must, must, must incorporate denim into your streetwear without actually wearing jeans, then try sneakers. It's a hint of denim without the in-your-face "look at my fancy back pocket!" Believe it or not, some people don't like to wear jeans, but they are peer pressured into sportin' the latest and greatest ill-fitting premium denim labels, which turns out (no shock), doesn't work for them. Not that I know anybody like that (well, actually…).
So I do declare, "sneak" your denim in where you can. These sneakers are a quaint surprise. You can be classy, casual and cool, which can translate to a style Baller who doesn't need to act like they threw up selvage all over the place.
