Second thoughts: finding a fit
Robin Brownlee
July 19 2009 06:35PM
I said the other day unrestricted free agent Manny Malhotra was the best option for the Edmonton Oilers in terms of a third-line centre who can win face-offs and kill penalties. I was wrong.
While Malhotra might be the best player who fits that description, he might not be the best option for the contract-heavy Oilers, and there's a couple of reasons for that.
First and foremost, it looks like Malhotra, who made $1.5 million with the Columbus Blue Jackets last season, one in which he scored 11-17-28 and won 58 per cent of his face-offs, is expecting something north of $2 million a season on the open market. He'll get it. That's too pricey for the Oilers.
Second, with Malhotra being a UFA, GM Steve Tambellini has to take on a contract without giving one up. That's not the way to go. The trade route is. The problem, of course, is finding a trade partner that has what you want and needs what you have.
I thought about that for awhile, did some checking and came up with a name who makes sense -- those looking for a big splash or marquee dash can stop reading now. Nothing to see here.
That name is David Steckel.
Who? I know. If you're thinking, Brownlee fell down the stairs and hit his big, fat head again, I get it. But hear me out or at least humour me, like you do with senile uncle Al when he asks who the hell you are for the third time at Thanksgiving dinner.
Steckel, for the vast majority of you who don't have his name on the tip of your tongue, is a six-foot-five, 222-pound pivot who just finished his fourth season with the Washington Capitals. While his boxcar numbers are less than inspiring, 8-11-19 in 76 games, he fits the bill on several levels.
-- Steckel, 27, is a demon on the dot. He finished the 2008-09 regular season among NHL leaders at 57.9 per cent. In 14 playoff games, he upped that to 58.4 per cent.
That's no flash in the pan, either. In 2007-08, he was 56.3. In 2006-07, he was 65.1, although that was in a span of just five games.
-- Steckel kills penalties and his face-off record shorthanded this past season was 153-130.
-- He's cheap. Steckel has one year remaining on a contract that will pay him $725,000 in 2009-10. Given that the Oilers already have about $51.3 million committed to salaries next season, price point, about one-third of what a player like Malhotra wants, matters.
-- Lastly, and most important, it looks to me like the Oilers and Caps each have something the other team wants on needs. The Oilers need a face-off man and the Caps could use some toughness at the bottom of the roster after losing Donald Brashear. I'm thinking J.F. Jacques could be their man.
Jacques, 24, is young enough and tough enough, despite back problems that stalled his career before he returned this season, to be of interest to the Capitals with Brashear gone.
Jacques has one more year left on a contract that will pay him $550,000 next season. While the Caps might want a prospect or pick thrown in to swing the deal, Tambellini wouldn't lose any sleep if he could move two contracts for one. He also has some depth in toughness and a logjam on the fourth line with Zack Stortini and Steve MacIntyre in the fold.
Those who've read this far can see this wouldn't be a big splash or a sexy deal, but it might be the right deal to address a glaring shortcoming, and the Oilers could use one of those right about now.
I will text the Steckel suggestion to Tambellini and await word back. As always, when I know what his response is, you'll know.
-- Listen to Robin Brownlee every Thursday from 4 to 6 p.m. on Just A Game with Jason Gregor on Team 1260.
except that steckel is a coach favourite and there's never any way the caps would pull this. like NEVER.

Interesting stuff, Robin.
cue the "No way we can give up on Jacques, he's got potential nut-jobs.
wow, thats a guy that flew right under the radar of alot of fans. sounds like he is exacly what the oil are looking for.
i bet JFJ doesnt get it done though. they will want someone that has a bit more experience, no? i mean they are giving a guy up with known strengths for a guy that is largely unknown. maybe storts? not the scariest guy, but he can skate hit and fight.
Makes pretty good sense, injuries aside I've never been a big fan of Jacques so seeing him go wouldn't hurt my feelings.
On a somewhat related topic, how many more contracts do the Oilers realistically need to move before they are in a safer position to chase remaining free agents?
His response? "How the hell did you get this number"!
Are the caps willing to give up a guy that wins over 50% of his faceoffs. I wouldn't mind throwing on nilison if we could. Anyways i'm liking the trade if it could happen.
LOL. Welcome to my world Robin. Been talking about Steckal since the trade deadline. thought it would have been a good fit with him coming our way and Moreau heading to the Caps for "veteran" leadership. They have some cap space right now and could use some vets. Steckal is a great fit for 3/4 C. Especially if it means freeing up some cap space.

Stortini would be the other likely canditate. And, yes, as I mentioned, the Caps would likely want somebody else in the deal. Steckel doesn't come with a lot of fanfare, but I can't see the Caps trading him straight up for JFJ.
If this trade goes down, and Steckel ends up being a huge factor in an Oiler resurgence next season, do we rally to make Brownlee the new Asst. GM?
His first order of business..."eliminate" Dustin Penner and his contract....
Good call, Robin.
Steckel is exactly the kind of player with the kind of contract that this team needs.
I like everything about what you're telling me here, except for the fact Stortini would have to go. I might be in the minority, but I consider Stortini to be one of Edmonton's assets right now. He comes to play hard, every night.. he's not a defensive liability, and he's tough to play against. And he's big.
These are all qualities we need more of... not really one of the pieces I'd so readily throw away.
I'd much rather see big Mac go in a trade. He may be bigger and meaner, but Stortini is head and shoulders above Mac in terms of ability to actually play some hockey..
I'm not saying "Bad trade" if this ends up being the case.. I just have a laundry list of players I'd rather see shipped out for this suggestion than Stortini.
...Except that Steckel was terrific in the playoffs for the Caps, and what they need even worse than some toughness in the bottom half of their forwards is exactly what Steckel provides: honest effort, two-way play and penalty killing at a reasonable price. There's just no way the Caps would move him, not for Jacques anyway, unless the Oilers were also willing to give the Caps the other thing they desperately need, which is salary cap relief. So unless the Oilers are willing to make it a bigger deal and take Chris Clark or Michael Nylander in return I really can't see how it would happen.
A better option who's a free agent right now might be Marcel Goc. He's got similar faceoff stats and is younger.

Never said that. Jacques is more likely, but, like I said, I can't see the Caps swapping Steckel straight up. They'd want a prospect or pick as well.
I don't think Washington is going to move Steckel. They need cheap dependable guys like him since so much salary is going to Ovie, and I don't think they even spend up to the cap, but could be wrong.
July 19 2009, 08:34PM
@ MrMaz: I don't think the Caps necessarily want to move Steckel, but they are at over $55 million and they have Nylander, Backstrom and Laich in the middle. While it's not much, they'd save about $200,000 in a Steckel-Jacques swap and they could ask for a sweetener like a pick that wouldn't hurt their cap right now.
July 19 2009, 09:03PM
How about Boyd Gordon as another option with Washington?
Totally off topic but why on earth do the Pittsburgh Penguins even get nominated for an ESPY? Not that I dont thinnk they are the best team of the year, but we all know they were not going to win the award, how would they? ESPN does not even have hockey on their friggen network!!!! What a joke, I f'n hate ESPN and their stupid ass awards show. They should change it the the World Sports Awards and not be such biased pricks. They wont even support this sport with television coverage, buncha losers missing out on the greatest sport on the planet!
Hell at this point make it JFJ and Schremp. Might fit well there too
July 19 2009, 09:27PM
Just so long as the Oil can finally fix the miscast Cogs and finally get the guy playing Wing.
I heard rumblings awhile ago can't remember where that cogliano cannot play wing he just is not as good as he is at center but he cannot win a faceoff maybe that is why the oilers want to trade him I could be wrong though
Hey, I'm going to take this to heart: Steckel is one of the players I suggested going after in the comments of one of the post-Heatley articles.
My thoughts about the out-going player was a bit different, though. Some might call me a fool, but I'd offer up Cogliano for him and angle for a 2nd or 3rd round pick to come back, too. My reasoning is that Horcoff and Gagner are the clear top two centres, Cogs looks to be a long way off being a strong 3rd line centre, and the Oilers need a winger with more grit for the 2nd line RW slot. Furthermore, without giving up one of the top four d (which I wouldn't want to do for a 3rd line centre), I suspect he's the only roster player that could pry Steckel away from the Caps. Cogs could fit in well at RW on the second line with Morrison and Semin, which is a greater need for them than at centre where they're stacked. (Backstrom, Morrison, Lake, Nylander & Fleischmann.)
Please, someone call me crazy.
July 19 2009, 10:12PM
@ Dallas: I heard that too, but i think it came from MacT, so that pretty much means that Cogs will be the best Winger on the team next year.
The fact of the matter is he cant win a faceoff with any regularity and that isnt good enough at the NHL level. So he will be learning a new position if he wants to play for a long time. O'Sully and Gagner can play on Wing and Centre, why cant Cogs? Is he really that inept or was he just another victim of MacT's strange player usage?
@ Andrew W: You're crazy. One hell of an overpay. Cogliano is cheap, effective, and has more points in one year than Steckels career (2 years, heh). If Steckel was a plus 15-plus 20 player sure, but hes barely in the +.
I'll take a few faceoff losses for double the points, speed, and potential rather than trade him for the next Marty Reasoner.
@ Archaeologuy: @ Dallas:
I read (somewhere) that he isn't comfortable playing left wing, not that he can't play either side.
Could such a deal be made with Jacques, or would they want Stortini instead? Or if it's Brashear they're looking to replace, maybe McIntyre +. Personally, I think they should bite the bullet, offer Malhotra something long term at around 2.25 - 2.5M per, and worry about sending out a contract later.

If you've been reading, you know I like Malhotra as well. But the more I compare his numbers with Steckel's, I don't see Malhotra being worth $1.5 million a season more, which will be the difference if he gets $2.25M. That, and I see the Caps as a willing trade partner.
Well I watched a few Caps game. Steckel is beast out there on the ice. He is a tenacious fore-checker. He is a fan favorite and their coach loves him. There is no ways we get him without over payment. That said, Andrew W(that is too much). Rather than JFJ, we may have to package someone a little more promising and prolly a 3rd or 4th round pick
misfit wrote:

Long term I would hesitate. If all goes according to (plan/my dreams) Horcoff is going to be our defensive C when we get a bonafide first line C via trade or Gagner develops a little more. Then we would have Malholtra 4th line for 2.5 mil, not a good prospect.
It's RW Cogliano hates playing. It's why Moreau took the faceoffs (as opposed to Pouliot) when the 18-13-78 line was together and Cogs would get waived out of the circle.
I know you need good faceoff men for situational draws, but you don't have to have all 4 lines with faceoff aces on them. Cogliano is just much better at center than on the wing, and that's probably where we're better off using him. Just don't send his line out as much for faceoffs. His inadequacies on the dot aren't a huge issue IMO, but we do need one or two very good FO men in the lineup somewhere.
@ misfit: Agreed, we will always likely have a Winger who is semi-decent in draws too, so pair him with Cogs

If you heard how Tom Renney spoke of Horcoff on Gregor's show just after he became associate coach then you'd know that your dream may not be so far off.
@ Archaeologuy: Lol bud about you comment on mac I agree
July 19 2009, 10:38PM
@ Robin Brownlee:
RE: Malhotra
From Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch:
Heard this week from two independent sources that the Atlanta Thrashers offered Malhotra a four-year deal worth at least $2 million per season. Not sure if it's still on the table, but Malhotra is holding out for an offer from another club, even if it's less money. Such is the state of the Les Thrashers these days.
(bolding mine)
Maybe you've heard something more recent, but it sound like 2MM from the right club would get it done. No idea if the Oilers are the right club, but they must be more appealing than Atlanta.
@ Hemmertime:
You might be right, and there certainly is a lot of risk in trading away a player like Cogs who could turn around and blossom on somebody else's vine. As mentioned, a big part of my reasoning is that Steckel is much more of what the Oilers need right now: size, grit, and a defensive minded third line centre who thrives at the dot.
I'm also not convinced that Cogliano is more apt to turn into a regular 30 goal scorer than O'Sullivan. Yes, he has more speed, but Sully has a very good shot that he likes to use, decent hands, above average speed, and is a bit tougher (I think). He can also play all three forward positions and looks much more comfortable on the wing. Please also keep in mind that I'm not suggesting a straight up swap - either a draft pick, a prospect, or a low end roster player (like Jurcina or Erskine, maybe) should fill out the trade.
Sometimes I feel like Cogs is over-rated by us homers who have been desperate for some high end home grown talent. Isn't there anybody else who sees him as a 2nd line centre who is made redundant by Gagner?
As for Cogliano being cheap, well, they're both cheap, and Steckel is apt to stay that way for longer.
Again, call me crazy.

No, I definitely see where you're going. I was more commenting on the idea that the 50 contract limit shouldn't be something that gets in the way of filling such an important need. I mean, I've heard Tambellini mention a few times that he has too many bodies, but if you can't sign a proven 3rd line center until you've rid yourself of a 4th liner/AHL player first, it just seems a little backwards to me. Especially when you aren't even at the 50 contract limit.
As for the price difference, Malhotra's experience as one of the premier players of his kind year in and year out, and the fact that he's still in his prime makes me a lot more comfortable with him as an option even if it costs a little more. And if Steckel is as good as his last 2 seasons would suggest, he won't be much cheaper for much longer given that he's a UFA next year. All that said, I'd still be ok going this route, and if we can get him for Jacques, then even better.
D Moore would be a good fit also. How much do you think it would take to sign him?
@ oil fan:
I suspect that he'll wait to make sure that Bartuzzi doesn't re-sign in Calgary before coming to the same conference.
sorry, that didn't come through correctly, here's the quotes
from 2009: Boudreau, as much Steckel's rabbi as his coach in the NHL, told General Manager George McPhee not to just take a flyer on him when Steckel wasn't re-signed by the club. "I told him he will play [in the NHL] and he'd be a good sign."
"Just to see the look on his face was very rewarding," Boudreau said yesterday. "I know his parents very well and they must have been excited for him."
On the surface, they have nothing in common. Steckel is 6 feet 5, a long, sinewy band of muscle and bone. Boudreau is 5-9, several pounds past his playing weight. He was much better than the Crash Davis of minor league hockey -- a scorer of great renown.
But in Steckel, Boudreau sees a bit of himself -- the part he would go back and change if he could, the part that didn't use every minute of every day to ensure that his best NHL season in a 20-year career of call-ups amounted to more than just 10 goals and 14 assists in 39 games. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/12/AR2009051203425_2.html
2008: "I owe a lot to Bruce (Boudreau)," Steckel said. "I've been with him for a long time, and he's always showed a lot of confidence in me."
Boudreau coached Steckel in the minors with the Los Angeles Kings and Capitals organizations. It was Boudreau, with an assist from OSU coach John Markell, who convinced Washington management to sign Steckel.
Built like a hockey stick in college, the 6-foot-5 center became more serious about his nutrition and conditioning level in 2005 after joining the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League. His coordination also improved as his body finally stopped growing.
Steckel helped Boudreau and Hershey win the Calder Cup in 2006, and last season he scored 30 goals.
"Last year, David was arguably the best player in the AHL," Boudreau said.
no chance steckel leaves.

Do you think the caps would part with Hartnell for Cogliano? Free up some cap space in exchange for a speedy winger with $ 3 million less of a hit..and tons of upside. The Oilers get bigger, grittier and a few more goals. Hartnell is still young enough to add to his goal scoring totals Seems like a good trade for both sides to me.
July 19 2009, 11:11PM
oops, meant flyers not caps of course

I would be happy with a trade like that, another option would be Michalek from SJ for all the same reasons.

Oilers would have to offer more than cap relief, meaning they'd have to sweeten the deal -- likely with a roster player.
July 19 2009, 11:37PM
@ jfry: I'm aware of their relationship. But no chance? Let's not make Steckel into Superman here. The Oilers have assets the Caps want.
With Federov gone (he has gone to the KHL right?) what would the Caps center depth chart look like if Steckel also leaves town.
I loved watching this guy play in the post-season, but it seems to me like the caps would be filling one hole by creating another. I am of the persuasion that he would look great in Oilers silks... but it ain't gonna happen.
July 20 2009, 12:23AM
Unrelated to a trade, but definitely related to the 3rd line center roll; and for that matter all of the players on the team.
Couldn't the Oilers go out and spend as much money as they want to without affecting their cap on a special teams or face-off only coach like a Yannic Perreault or Adam Oates?
The last time a player like Oates was here (as a member of the Oilers) he made guys like Stoll and Horcoff exponentially better at face-offs. Is this not possible and wouldn't it maybe lessen or negate the need to make a trade?
July 20 2009, 12:25AM
*I realized I spelt roll incorrectly after I hit post.. It should be * role
I still think that the best fit is Bonk. He might cost a little more but he can score.
I appreciate the post, Robin. Good eye for roster management. It's hard not to like David Steckel's play, and he epitomizes the 'Tambellini Oilers' we've heard so much about.
Still, I lean toward siding with Andrew W and jfry. If we all agree that the Caps want to replace Brashear because they desire size and grit in their bottom 6, then why would they agree to move Steckel? Won't they then be in the market for a Steckel clone? Robin, do you think they might forgo size and use Morrison as his replacement?
Maybe it's from reading Lowetide, but I think good organizations avoid moving known, quality assets with inexpensive contracts for unknown assets during their window of success (although the Caps might very well want to move the window back slightly to fit Varlamov as well as Ovie). That's not to say that the Caps hang up the phone every time Steckel's name is mentioned, but it means that JFJ+ is likely a non-starter. If JFJ (himself a shaky prospect) is the extra for a deal featuring a blue chipper or roster player, then I think Tambo gets past the secretary. It's an overpay for sure, but to my eye the Caps need him almost as much as we do.
Also, I agree with Andrew W that Cogs is slightly over rated by the homers (myself included) and is a little redundant on this roster (or at least repeated). I still love him, so if he stays all the better.
Anyway, here's hoping Tambo has some voodoo magic that can transform Pouliot into Steckel, or incriminating photos of George McPhee.
July 20 2009, 04:30AM
he didnt fly under the radar. no one thought the Caps would be dumb enough to give up a stud bottom-6 guy who has size, faceoff ability and crashes.
definitely a good choice but i dont see why the Caps would give him up without an overpay. Jacques hasnt done enough in my mind to warrant any sort of value to the caps even with a prospect or pick (unless its obscene)
Dont know much about the guy but I wonder how well a six-foot-five, 222 pound beast can kill penalties. I can't see him being too mobile protecting the points? Sure he could block some shots but the way the Oil ran around on the PK last year it could be ugly.

In a decision that could wipe California's death penalty off the books, a Los Angeles federal judge has declared the state's capital punishment law unconstitutional because of the decades death row inmates must inevitably wait before execution.
Calling the state's death penalty system "dysfunctional" and beyond repair, U.S. District Judge Cormac Carney concluded that death sentences in California have been transformed into "life in prison, with the remote possibility of death."
With no indication the state will be able to fix its problems, the judge determined in the case of death row inmate Ernest DeWayne Jones that the entire system must be scrapped, although it will take further appeals -- and likely years -- to reach that outcome. Jones has been on death row nearly two decades for the 1992 rape and murder of a 50-year-old Southern California accountant.
"When an individual is condemned to death in California, the sentence carries with it an implicit promise from the state that it will actually be carried out," wrote the 2003 Republican appointee of former President George W. Bush. "But for too long now, the promise has been an empty one ... it has resulted in a system that serves no penological purpose."
In the short term, the decision will not have much effect in California, where executions have been on hold since 2006 because of legal challenges to the state's lethal injection method. At least 17 death row inmates have exhausted all their legal appeals and face execution, but none are likely to be scheduled for the foreseeable future -- the state has yet to even put in place an updated lethal injection method that can be reviewed by the courts.
The judge cited that reality in his ruling, which noted that more than 40 percent of the state's 748 condemned killers, like Jones, have spent at least 19 years on death row, many of them much longer as their appeals drag through the system. Clarence Ray Allen, the last inmate executed in California, spent 26 years on death row.
"The delay is systemic, and the state itself is to blame," Carney wrote.
If the judge's decision survives on appeal, far from a foregone conclusion, it could accomplish in the courts what death penalty foes have been unable to carry out at the ballot box. Condemned inmates in California and other states have raised the issue of death row delays in many cases, but no death penalty law has been invalidated. The U.S. Supreme Court has yet to rule on the issue.
Legal experts say the Supreme Court may be reluctant to back Carney's reasoning, although some justices, notably Justice Stephen Breyer, have indicated they want to address the question. And experts say California's systemic problems may give the high court the right case to do that.
"California does sort of stand as the epitome of this dysfunction," said Douglas Berman, an Ohio State University law professor who runs a popular blog on sentencing law and policy.
State Attorney General Kamala Harris's office was reviewing the ruling and had no immediate comment. The state is expected to appeal the decision to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Kent Scheidegger, legal director of the pro-death penalty Criminal Justice Legal Foundation, said the Supreme Court is unlikely to back the argument, regardless of how the 9th Circuit rules. "It can't fly," he said.
Scheidegger and others had hoped to put a measure on this November's ballot that might accelerate the state's death penalty process, but backed off earlier this year. Three former California governors had supported the proposed measure.
"This is a very sad day for all victims," said Harriet Salarno, founder of Crime Victims United.
Death penalty opponents failed two years ago to persuade voters to abolish the death penalty when Proposition 34 was defeated by a 52 to 48 percent margin. They believe death row inmates around the state can now use the ruling in Jones' case as ammunition in every appeal, and the ruling could also be used as fodder if anti-death penalty groups try another ballot measure.
"I don't think (the judge) sees California as able to dig itself out of this," said Ellen Kreitzberg, a Santa Clara University law professor and death penalty opponent.

So cute!
"I wear 7.5 to 8s usually and bought these in 8 -- perfect fit! They're rather thin, which will be perfect in warmer weather! I bought the yellow ones and they're really pretty. I can't wait to wear them!"

I like them
"I originally got these in the dark blue color. Very versatile shoe model and color. They add an extra something to the outfit but don't overtake it. I got the blue in a size 8 but I have wide feet. They still fit but the shoes looked like it shrink-wrapped my foot. Not a cute look. I exchanged these for an 8.5 and they fit perfectly. I exchanged the blue for the red. The red color is nice but definitely not as bright as the picture online. They are still cute. I just wish they were a brighter red. I am keeping them though. Hope this review helps!"

Super Cute!
"I bought a pair similar to these in-store a while back and absolutely adore them. It's almost like not wearing shoes at all, that's how comfortable they are. Every time I wear them I receive tons of compliments. My feet are perfect 8.5 and these fit exceptionally well. If you have really wide feet, I'd recommend trying them on first."

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The John Wesley Powell River History Museum hosted John Wesley Powell Days on Saturday in Green River. Festivities began with a breakfast sponsored by the Close-Up Club. Pancakes, eggs, ham, orange juice and coffee opened the day for those attending.
Close-Up is a group of Green River High School students who hold fund raisers to raise money for their Washington, D.C. trip every other year. The students visit the Nation's Capitol to see first hand the works of government, and they also visit historical sites there.
Verna Watterson, JoAnn Wetherington, and Green River City Councilman Tom Burr then held games for the youngsters. The children ran foot races, three legged races, wheelbarrow races, held a water balloon toss, a water carry race, and a sack race. Councilman Burr was the starter and awarded the winners crisp $1 bills. Each participant was also rewarded with a box of Cracker Jacks.
Other activities held during the day were a father/son golf tournament at Green River Golf Course, and the 2005 Utah Service Rifle State championships held at the Green River Shooting Sports Park. Fathers, sons, and shooting enthusiasts came to Green River from all over Utah, Colorado, Idaho and Wyoming, to participate in the activities.
Winners in the golf tournament were: A Flight-first gross, Troy and Don Olsen; first net, Bruce and Kyle Lindsay; second gross, Karl and Kason Anderson; and second net, Rick and Josh Jensen. B Flight winners were: first gross, Bob and Darrell Allen; first net, Kim and Kelson Robinson; second gross, Mike and Shad Brunson; and second net Dale Johnson and Micky Kiever.
The results from the Utah State service rifle match do not become official until they are posted on the internet site. For those official results, log onto www.usrpa.org and check out the high power section with the 2005 results from the match in Green River.
As an added attraction to the festivities, the new movie about John Wesley Powell's adventures on the rivers in the area, The Journey into the Great Unknown, was shown during the afternoon hours in the museum. Following the movie showings, a free weiner roast, with all the trimmings, and a marshmallow toast were held.
At 7 p.m., entertainment for the evening was provided by LaVar Wells and Company. This western music band, with members from Hanksville and Green River, was a big hit. They played and sang for two and a half hours in the museum theater.

Mount Rivers: Where To Go / Sightseeing
Lostock Dam
Commenced in 1969 and completed in 1971, Lostock Dam is a minor dam on the Paterson River, a tributary of the Hunter River, and is located approximately 65 kilometres from both Maitland and Singleton, and also 93 kilometres north-west of Newcastle, on the upper reaches of the river.
The dam was built by Dumez Australia under contract to the New South Wales Water Department of Land and Water Conservation following the drought of 1964 to 1966. At that time there was a need for a water conservation storage in Paterson Valley to stabilise and further develop rural productivity.

Beckers Bridge over Webbers Creek
Completed in 1902, Beckers Bridge is an early example of a DeBurgh timber truss road bridge. In 1998 it was in good condition. DeBurgh trusses were significant technical improvements over their predecessors. Situated in the Hunter region, Beckers Bridge gains heritage significance because of its proximity to 15 other historic bridges, each constructed before 1905. The Beckers Bridge is a representative example of DeBurgh timber truss road bridges and technically and historically important.

Vacy Bridge over Paterson River
As a timber truss road bridge, it has many associational links with important historical events, trends, and people, including the expansion of the road network and economic activity throughout NSW, and Percy Allan, the designer of this type of truss.
Allan trusses were third in the five-stage design evolution of NSW timber truss bridges, and were a major improvement over the McDonald trusses which preceded them. Allan trusses were 20 per cent cheaper to build than McDonald trusses, could carry 50 per cent more load, and were easier to maintain.
The Vacy Bridge is located in the Hunter region, and it gains heritage significance from its proximity to the high concentration of other historic bridges in the area.

DENVER – A proposal to let illegal immigrant students pay in-state tuition at Colorado colleges got its first-ever Republican votes in the state Senate on Friday after a decade of failures for the bill.
Just a handful of years ago, the bill couldn't even pass the Democratic-controlled Senate. But Friday's vote puts Senate Bill 33 on track to pass the Legislature by this spring.
Two freshmen Republican senators supported the bill, and one of the Legislature's senior members – Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray – said he has had a change of heart after getting to know the children of illegal immigrants in his Eastern Plains district.
The bill allows young people who crossed the border illegally with their parents to pay in-state tuition at public colleges, as long as they attended a Colorado high school for three years and graduated, and take steps toward becoming legal citizens.
Brophy talked about a student he knows who, Brophy said, at the moment was a net recipient of Colorado tax dollars thanks to his free public education. Without this bill, Brophy said, the boy wouldn't be able to contribute much to society.
"He should be an engineer. He should be making $150,000 a year instead of $20,000, and then he would be paying us back in spades for his subsidized education," Brophy said.
Despite his arguments, the bill remains controversial.
Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, helped lead the opposition.
"Make no doubt about it. Amnesty starts today here in the policies for the state of Colorado," Lundberg said.
Other Republicans questioned the bill's claim that it would boost college budgets, without costing more taxpayer money.
Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch, called it a "Jedi mind trick."
"There are no illegal immigrants," Harvey said. "Just move on. Don't look at the numbers here."
The bill died last year in the House, which was under Republican control at the time. But two other events have eased its way to passage this year.
First, President Barack Obama's executive order last year allows young people without criminal records to apply for "deferred action" on deportation and get permission to stay in the country legally for a time.
And second, the politics on the issue changed after the November election. In Washington, a bipartisan group of senators is pushing for federal immigration reform, and Brophy echoed the arguments of some national Republicans on Friday.
"I want the GOP to become a Grand Opportunity Party," he said.
Still, he acknowledged the tough politics.
"You have nothing to lose voting for this bill," Brophy told Democrats, and then gestured to his party's side of the chamber. "The folks over on this side of the aisle who vote for this bill are risking everything, politically speaking. It takes a lot of courage to vote for this bill."
Republican Sens. Larry Crowder of Alamosa and Owen Hill of Colorado Springs also expressed support for the bill Friday.
Sen. Ellen Roberts, R-Durango, maintained her opposition. In-state tuition only offers false hope to students who will not be able to work legally after graduation, Roberts has said.
The bill passed the Senate on an initial voice vote, and a final roll call vote is scheduled for Monday.

ALGONA, Iowa (AP) — In the northern Iowa city of Algona, residents have begun celebrating the renovation of a century-old brick building designed by world-renowned architect Louis Sullivan.
The installation in July of replica glass windows to the structure signified a major footnote in the nearly 20-year process of renovating the former Henry Adams building.
At a cost of $800,000, renovations by the Algona Sullivan Building Foundation have included the removal of an old shingle roof and restoration of ceramic tile flooring.
The historic structure built in 1913 is considered one of Sullivan's simplest designs. Terra cotta tile surrounds the building, which is one of his "jewel box bank" designs meant for a series of banks. Only eight such Sullivan structures exist in the United States.
The building now houses Algona's chamber of commerce.

Comments: This shoe is very stiff. I run Spartan Races in the X-Talon 212 and really wanted to like the Road-X 233. Prior to this shoe, I've been running in Brooks Pure Flow 2 and Green Silence. I had to order a 1/2 size up in the Road-X and the fit still isn't great. I put in 3mm Inov-8 insoles and it was better; now I run without the insole at all. Disregard what other reviewers say about your form: they aren't the only runner out there with "proper" form. The shoe IS much stiffer, especially compared to the Brooks. The drop is actually lower in the Brooks PF2 so I don't think that was my issue with these. At any rate, the shoe is light and looks good. The toe box is roomy. I just don't like that it takes a mile or so for my feet to feel good.
From: Eric, Brick, NJ, USA. 3/13/14
Comments: I really liked the way these looked on the site and I've always wanted to try Inov-8 shoes. So far I have 41 miles on these with my longest run just a tad over 11 miles. I'm finding that I like them less and less. They are really stiff. There's a band that runs through the midfoot area that is very hard and stiff. On top of that, they are too heavy for a minimalist shoe.
From: Chris, Memphis, TN USA
Comments: I've been wearing the Innov-8 Road X 233 for about 4 months and have put a lot of miles in. The shoes are comfortable and lightweight, broke in well, and never caused any blisters. They have one huge drawback, however: the lip on the toe box sticks out quite far and catches on just about anything. I had never fallen while running before, and since I've been wearing these I've fallen three times buy catching the tip of the shoe on the sidewalk. The specs for the shoe mention the super sticky outsole that is similar to those used in rock climbing, so that might also contribute to the problem.
From: Chelsea, Ls Vegas, NV USA
Comments: Very stiff shoe. Does not fit as wide as it looks. Developed Cuboid syndrome in my right foot on my first run with this shoe. Heavier than it should be given the lack of cushioning. Only made it one run with this shoe, as it will not work for me.
From: Steve, Lincoln, NE
Comments: The siped sole is genius. Makes me wonder why shoe makers sell shoes intended for pavement with "ridges." Perfectly weighted shoe for use as a minimalist trainer, which is a tough balance to find on the market right now - I've got about 40 miles on them so far, and my guess is that I'll be able to get at least 1,000 miles based on current wear patterns. In my opinion, if you find that the cushioning on these shoes is inadequate or "too stiff," you need to examine your form and determine why your feet are impacting the surface with so much force; there really shouldn't be much of an impact, and if there is, you are heading for an injury.
From: Steve, Reading, PA
Comments: I have a few pairs of Inov-8 trail shoes, so I picked these based on a good fit. I have about 150 miles on these now. They do immediately feel really well connected to the road and feel fast. However, I am finding them on the stiff side now. It's one thing to be minimal, but you do need shock protection for running on asphalt. Humans certainly weren't built to handle pounding on the pavement. These shoes could use more cushioning under the mid foot. I have been wearing my Kinvara 3's a lot more often than these now. I think the harsh ride of these shoes is not suitable for runs longer than 8-10 miles.
From: Dave, Burlington, VT
Comments: I'm a mid-size runner around 175 lbs. I've put about 200 miles on my 233s and love them. My typical run ranges from 6 to 12 miles. This was my first shoe in the more minimalist realm, so it took a bit of time to get used to in the beginning. Once I became accustomed to the lower drop, the shoe has been great. They've held up incredibly well,
especially the sole. The only noticeable (but minimal) wear is around the midfoot where I typically strike. I know some runners compare this shoe to the Kinvara; however, it is lower to the ground and less cushioned, giving you better ground feel. Additionally, I find the roomy toe box provides ample space for my foot splay. I would highly recommend this shoe to anyone looking for a lightweight, 6mm drop shoe for distances up to a marathon (maybe more).
From: Dave, Atlanta, GA
Comments: I just received these yesterday, and they were comfortable right out of the box. I took them out for a 2.2 mile run at about a 6:40 pace, then I ran a fast mile at 5:17, the fastest mile I've run all year. My initial assessment is they are the perfect balance between protection and feel for the road, not too stiff, not too soft...the Goldilocks shoe. I've been through a lot of shoes from Brooks Green Silence to Karhu Racer Rides to NB Minimus Roads and Zeros to NB Racer 1400's to Newton Distance to Nike Free's with little success in terms of comfort and durability. I have high hopes for these shoes, and I will follow up when I have taken these out for a few long runs.
From: Jonathan, Albany, NY
Comments: The greatest shoe I have bought so far and I have been testing different brands. The Asics 1150, 2150, kayano. Nike running shoe brands, Pumas, and Brooks. These are by far the best shoes I have run in with no complaints. The only thing I have changed are the laces but they are more for my comfort. I used the 233's for a marathon run in Kauai and had no problem in them. The Switch from the road x255 to x233 was a good transition. There was a little getting use to but I was able to maintain mileage and intensity, which is great for train up.
From: Sterling Yazzie, Wahiawa, HI, USA
Comments: My last INOV-8's were the F-Lite 230's. I found they fit about a 1/2 size larger than a typical running shoe and expected the Road-X 233's to fit the same. Not so. I found these shoes to fit like a regular running shoe, without the volume I expected from INOV-8. I can't agree with ordering a 1/2 size smaller unless you like shoes very snug. Indeed, I ordered mine on size and find them a bit smaller than I would wanted. Otherwise these are awesome to run in, the best of my many shoes by far.
From: Colin, Vancouver, BC
Comments: I love Inov-8 shoes for trail running and hiking, especially the X-talon 212's. Picked these up for road training runs as they have the same heel to toe drop (6mm). I've only done two runs in them so far (12mi and 16mi). A touch more support than the x-talon's and more padding at tongue & collar, but still minimal and by no means a control shoe. Feet felt great during and after run. Toe box on these is a bit roomier than the X-talons. Ordered 1/2 size smaller than I usually get for inov-8's and they are spot on. I'm a fan of their sticky rubber, which this has. However, it's a real thin layer on the sole, we'll see how many miles it lasts.
From: Chris, Springfield, IL, USA

I was about to forward a "Theory of Everything Bleach" thread when I noticed we don't seem to have a Bleach theory section.
What I now hope to do is to try, with help from other BleachTards, to forward theories that would Anticipate Kubo's Explanation and make sense of the past and future of Bleach.
Here are the Main Points:
1) The Soul King:
Why did he leave SS
What are his Powers and Is he even Capable of Movement?
2) The Shihoin Clan
What is their Remarkable role in SS, seeing as Yoruichi can move around as she pleases, and stopped being a Captain on a whim. What is Yoruichi's connection to the SK.
3) Yoruichi and Urahara Seem to be underground agents for Zero division and the SK.
4) Ichigo seems to have been carefully selected and guided by fate (or is that another word for The Soul King?). It is very likely that he will play a role in the final disposition of the Seireitiei. What are your guesses as to what Ichigo's final role will be after Juha Bach is defeated?
Well, Once Kubo comes back from his Sabatical, he'll no doubt begin answering some of these questions. If there's to be any fun, we should outguess him (correctly).
At the End of Bleach, I'll make a Last thread to Highlight and Score all the correct guesses. This will be an enduring tribute to the most brilliant Bleach Fans EVER (GUAH HAH HAH HAHAHA!)

The braided part on the bottom is a shiny, plasticy material that looks so cheap and tacky, and you can visibly see the glue where it was sloppily attached. Returning ASAP!"

Bronzer is great for mimicking a tan or highlighting the tan you have. Bronzer is also great for warming up a dull or pale complexion. Larenim recommends applying blush or bronzer with Larenim Mineral Makeup's Vegan Blush or Blonzer brushes. The Vegan Blush brush has a chiseled contour making it better adapted to precision application. The Blonzer brush is similar to Larenim's high quality Kabuki with a shape that is better for cheek and contouring needs. Lightly dip the Vegan Blush or Blonzer brush in the powder and tap off any excess. Apply to the cheeks and high points of the face for a healthy, glowing effect. Many products within the Larénim® makeup line can be used together to create a naturally beautiful look for anyone and everyone. The first step is to start with a good Foundation and Blush combination. When looking at Foundation, you will notice that each color has a number and a letter. The letter refers to C for Cool, W for Warm or N for Neutral. The lower the number preceding the letter, the lighter in shade the foundation will be. For instance, 3-W will be lighter than 4-W.Pink Undertones & Fair Skin - Look for a foundation color in the C range. For Blush, you will want to stick with light pink or peach shades, such as "Angel's."Yellow Undertones - Pick a foundation within the W range. To pick a blush shade, look for earth tones that range from a pink-brown to a purple-brown ("Mauvelous"). Other appropriate blush colors are "Innocence" and "Cosmic Glow".Neutral (no distinct pink or yellow undertones) - Choose a foundation in the N range. As far as blush goes, people with Neutral skin tone have a large variety available. Blush color can be picked based on preference, keeping light or dark skin tone in mind. How is Larenim mineral makeup better than conventional makeup? Truly non-comedogenic. Larenim will not block pores!No talc. Larenim will not permanently stretch pore walls, as can happen with traditional makeups. Larenim contains no oils, no fillers, and no FD&C dyes. Does not "spoil." Minerals will not support bacterial growth as ingredients in conventional makeups can. Larenim is easy to apply. It's very natural. Larenim is never mask-like. Larenim gives skin a beautiful "glow." Not tested on animals. Larenim makeups are cruelty-free. Made in U.S.A. Our company is 100% owned and operated locally (in Columbus, Ohio.) Perfect makeup for all skin types! Larenim is appropriate for those with acne, rosacea, lined, sensitive, or post-laser treatment skin. Larenim contains no Parabens. Parabens have been linked to breast cancer. (NOTE: Computer monitors display color differently. Please take this into consideration when buying the product. Thank you.)

BLM-managed Lands Contributed $130 Billion to the U.S. Economy in FY 2011
Public lands and resources managed by the Bureau of Land Management contributed more than $130 billion to the U.S. economy while supporting more than 600,000 American jobs in Fiscal Year 2011, BLM Acting Director Mike Pool announced today at a Public Lands Commemoration Forum in Phoenix, Arizona. The figures from FY 2011, which ended September 30, 2011, are the latest available for a complete fiscal year.
"It's important to recognize the valuable social and economic role that the BLM plays in both local and national economies," said Pool. "The revenue generated from BLM's multiple-use mission continues to serve as a vital economic contributor for the nation."
The BLM, with an annual budget of $1 billion, manages 245 million acres of public lands and 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate. In FY 2011, the agency generated more revenue than it spent through mineral leasing, energy development, outdoor recreation, and other activities on public lands.
Pool said that in FY 2011, the mining and production of oil, gas, coal, and non-energy minerals contributed about $126 billion to the American economy. In addition, he said that through the identification of priority projects for wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass energy, an additional $2 billion was generated and more than 10,000 jobs were created.
Pool also noted that by offering diverse recreational opportunities on public lands, the BLM not only generated $7 billion in FY 2011, but also provided immeasurable aesthetic and outdoor leisure benefits to the American public.
A report produced by the BLM, titled "The BLM: A Sound Investment for America," is available online, accompanied by a video and a detailed Webpage that provides a breakdown of the numbers by resource area and state, accessible at http://on.doi.gov/SoundInvestment.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

Wool Felt Fabric
Felt is a nonwoven material that is achieved through repeated matting, condensing and pressing of wool fibers which ultimately result in a very compact fabric available at Mood in various weights and thicknesses. With many industrial uses due to felts inherent thermal and acoustic insulating properties, wool felt is utilized beyond kindergarden crafts. Natural and renewable wool felt has taken on new terms in the fashion industry.

The U.S. has its first player into the second week of the French Open, with No. 10 seed John Isner reaching the fourth round at Roland Garros for the first time in his career.
The American achieved that milestone on Friday in a typical tiebreak-filled match against No. 17 seed Tommy Robredo of Spain, needing more than three hours before advancing, 7-6 (13), 7-6 (3), 6-7 (5), 7-5.
Isner fought off set points in a marathon opening-set tiebreak, and it didn't get any easier for him from there. The packed crowd on Court 1 were treated to plenty of entertaining rallies and impressive displays of defense from Robredo, a five-time French Open quarterfinlaist and the nominal favorite entering the encounter, and Isner.
In a match dominated by the serve from both players, only one break of serve was recorded. Fittingly, it came in the final stages, with Isner finally breaking to up 6-5 in the fourth set and then comfortably holding at love to close things out.
Isner was the aggresor throughout the match, hammering 17 aces and a staggering 77 winners (to seven aces and 41 winners from Robredo). The 6-foot-9 American also stepped up in the crucial moments, saving 13 break points in total.
Isner had reached the third round at Roland Garros for the last two years and has shown this season that he's capable of producing solid results on clay, reaching the quarterfinals last week at the ATP event in Nice, France. The 29-year-old will play No. 6 seed Tomas Berdych of Czech Republic next for a place in the quarterfinals.
Meanwhile, USTA wild card Taylor Townsend had her dream run at the French Open come to an end on Friday, losing to No. 14 seed Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain, 6-2, 6-2. However, the teenager ranked No. 205 will jump more than 50 spots in the rankings as a result of her third-round showing.
No. 15 seed Sloane Stephens, Jack Sock and Donald Young will all take the court for their third-round matches on Saturday.

Decided I needed a place to list all my tutorials as I can't list them all in my signature, so I'm adding them to the start of my WIP thread.
Ice Bases
Paiting and Sculpting Rocks
Quickly Making Rocks
Other WIP Threads
Glitter Caves Diorama
Jade Regent Campaign WIP
Original Start of WIP Thread:
I realized that I tend to take a few pictures as I paint, that I occasionally tweet, and that I never really do any WIPs so I decided to just create a general thread for most of the random stuff I work on.
First up Cleric of Urgathoa
Need to work on my skin tones more, especially female ones, and I think this is turning out quite well--though after the looking at this picture I can see the shading on the face is coming off too strong so I'm going to need to soften that.
For the inside of the cloak I'm going for kind of a fancy reflective-ish look (This is the technically term I'm quite sure of it) so I'm basing with Reaper Midnight blue and then shading with a dark green and highlighting with various mixed turquoise colors. Still working on the blending some and bringing up the highlights a bit more.
