GDB 65: Fallen Leafs and a Moreau update
Jason Gregor
March 07 2009 09:58AM
In his first interview since taking a stick in his eye last Saturday, Oiler captain Ethan Moreau discussed everything from his eye, to leadership, to his discipline to an overrated offence.
You can listen to the entire interview at www.justagame.ca, but I have taken out a few key points...
JG: How is the eye?
EM: I'm lucky that I had started with good eyesight, and right now my eyesight is about 80% back to normal. Even if it doesn't improve anymore I would be able to come back and play, but I'm expecting a full recovery. I've had some damage to the eye itself, but that is mostly cosmetic, and once the blood from the back of the eye clears I should be fine.
JG: When do you expect to return?
EM: I hope to skate next week, but I have an appointment Monday and they are being really cautious with activity right now. Hopefully I can start some activity Monday with a light bike ride, and then hopefully I can get on the ice next week. Ideally two full practices would be enough to get me back in condition since I haven't been able to do anything up until now.
JG: Will you wear a visor when you return?
EM: I won't have a choice; I think I'll have to wear one for a number of reasons. It is unfortunate that you have to go through an incident like this to wear one. I lost total vision and couldn't see the day after it happened so it puts things into perspective. I've been through some pretty significant injuries with a broken leg, broken hand, broken mouth, but all those things are superficial and they will heal. This was the scariest moment of my career and definitely for the short term --the rest of the year-- I won't be able to play without one.
JG: Since you've been an Oiler you had lots of guys who had more effort and less talent, and now it is reversed. Is it hard to get these guys to understand that effort is still the most important facet of a player's game?
EM: It should come naturally. I think our skill, and not be negative, is overrated. Outside of Hemsky and Visnovsky were not tremendously skilled or talented. We don't have guys who are 30 or even 20 goal scorers. I think the identity of our team has changed a lot, and try to shift to a more skilled, puck moving team, but that hasn't translated to the offence that we thought it would. We have to find a way to get back to playing an energetic and more physical game. And that is up to the guys in the lineup. If they want to stay in the lineup and in the NHL they have to find a way to contribute.
JG: As a player who relies on emotion you realized early in your career that you had to play balls to the wall to stay in the league, how do you relate to players who have more skill aren't the same type of player as you?
EM: That is a really good question. Sometimes it is hard for me. Sometimes I get frustrated and what to say certain things, but I catch myself because I realize the game is different. It's not the mid-90s when I came in or Stevie (Staios) or Shelly (Souray) came in. We came in literally fighting for jobs but the game has changed now. There is more emphasis on skill and puck movement. I don't think it is productive for me to tell a supposedly skilled, smaller guy to go out and run around and get his ice that way because that is not who they are, or the player they are, or the reason we drafted them.
Sometimes it is hard to relate, but I also play offensively at times as well, so I can help them in that sense. Knowing where goals are scored in the NHL, not many are scored on the perimeter; most of them are scored from in front of the net. Look at the best players in the world; a lot of their goals come from getting to the net like Iginla. I guess Ovechkin is an exception to that because he can score from the outside. A lot of the really good young players are getting to the net and scoring goals, and I thought that was lacking in our game last night, we were on the perimeter too much.
JG: Compared to what you got away with early in your career, do you have to change your style of slashing and being physical to avoid taking so many penalties?
EM: Yeah I do, that is something I have to work on. I have to maintain my physical play and I do a lot of checking with my stick. I think referees look at physical guys who play that style and for some reason we get more penalties than other guys would. I went through a tough stretch where I was taking too many penalties, and when I get back I will work on that, but I can't let it take away from my physical play.
JG: Were those penalties out of frustration?
EM: I don't really get frustrated. I think everybody has a switch. I mean sometimes when the game is out of hand and you are losing, and you know it isn't going to hurt your team, that is frustration and not caring if you are going to get a penalty because it won't affect the outcome of the game. Some of it is error in judgment, or putting yourself in a bad position while some were bad calls, but I always take responsibility for the penalties that I get.
JG: Is it hard for married new players to bring their families to Edmonton and get acclimatized, and does that concern you?
There is no reason why they can't. I've raised my family here, and it is a lot like the childhood I had growing up in Canada. My son plays hockey like everyone else, and they are involved in activities and we are involved in the community. It's what you make of it. The number one thing is if the hockey is good then everything else is good. When things are going well on the ice and your team is doing well, that makes the city that much better to play in.
JG: As Captain of the team, your team has had more nights this year than in previous years where you didn't have the same compete level as the opposition. Do garbage cans get thrown around still? Can you chastise guys individually, or do you have to do that in a calmer manner?
EM: A little bit of both. You have to assess the situation. You can't do that every game, and be breaking stuff and yelling at guys every game. You're not going to get a good response. But there are times for that and there are times to call guys out and times to be calm and supportive and help your teammates that way.
I wish I had the answer for you. There have been a lot of nights where we haven't had the same level of competitiveness as we've had in the past, and a lot of that is because we have changed our team. I think the problem this year is that some of the skill and offensive guys we've had haven't put up the numbers we've anticipated. And when that (not scoring) happens the other part of the game doesn't look very good, and it looks like the effort level isn't there.
In the past we had guys who had an aggressive style of play, skated and hit, but now it is a different brand of hockey. And sometimes it translates into a product that appears we aren't working as hard as we should. The positive is in the backend we move the puck a lot better and it has been a noticeable change and that has been a huge positive. I think the problem lies in our forwards and our inability to forecheck and win battles and to provide offence that way.
To simplify your game is a lot to ask of some guys, because they are coming out of junior or coming from different teams where they were offensive players, and they got a lot of their points on the powerplay or they could score on the rush.
This league is extremely hard to do that in. You have to be an elite player to be able to put up points strictly on the rush and to capitalize on the powerplay. You have to find a way to be able to score five-on-five, and a lot of times that is through cycling or getting in and winning one-on-one battles.
It is a learning process for a lot of guys and hopefully we can figure it out. You can change your game even if you are a skilled guy that has relied on his skill or powerplay time in the past. There is always time to change, if you want to change, and become a different player and produce offence in a different way.
Moreau did talk give his thoughts on the trades and a few other things as well, so if you want to hear the entire interview go to www.justagame.ca.
When Moreau skated off the ice many wondered how serious his injury would be, but, thankfully for him, it sounds like he will be back on the ice very soon.
It was great and surprising to hear so many loud cheering Oiler fans in Leafland. It is funny how the media continually make bias remarks for the Mapleleafs even when they lose. Case in point is the article written by CBC sports (although I don't think Bob Cole or Harry Neale wrote it):
"Dealt a huge break, the inconsistent Edmonton Oilers took advantage and moved themselves back among the top eight teams in the NHL's Western Conference. The visiting Oilers jumped on an undermanned Maple Leafs defence, scoring three times in the second period on the way to a 4-1 win on Saturday night."
I think we were short a d-man too ie. Smid ...never mentioned this in the story.

Anyway, here's a question for Robin and/or Jason. As media people I assume you've met Don Cherry. Is he actually as much of a moron in real life as he is on TV?
I've met Don a few times, and what you see is what you get. He stands behind what he says. He's actually a really good guy. Very engaging and he is passionate. Sure he says some things that make you wonder if he actually believes them, but I'm sure he does say some things to just rile people up.
Ripping on Ovechkin gets everyone talking about him, and whether you agree of not most people still watch him. I do chuckle when I hear people say they won't watch him anymore, but the next week they are quoting something he said on HNIC...
I like Don as a guy, even if I don't agree with everything he says.

Chapter 225
Awesome chapter, Sani is rediculous, I can't believe he got so strong. I wonder what coco and zebra did, Toriko better catch up man
A pie in the sky?
Wow, that is some crazy hair, but I think there are some major drawbacks to using it if its really as powerful as Sani said. Can't wait to see what kind of Monster in the gourmet world can cut that hair.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
For real, It could eat the world if it wanted! Seems stronger than the appetite ball they used on 4beast, except without the meat at the end, unless sani gets a power boost when it eats something.
I hope he eats Tommyrod though, hate his character because i hate bugs heh but hes a jerk too.
Coco probably has a poison that would kill everyone in the world if it got released into the atmosphere or something
And maybe zebra has harnessed the sound of death now and can just one hit kill anything?
A pie in the sky?
So the 4 beast did give them some kind of power boost.
Hey baby, wanna take a gander at some Adam West penis?

The dairy industry in Utah is vitally important to the people of Utah because it provides:
- Valuable open spaces
- Jobs in areas with few other businesses
- Tax revenue
- A highly nutritious and readily available food source
- A product needed to maintain the cheese and dairy products industry of Utah
- An outlet for feed and other products supplied by the agricultural community
The major revenue stream for dairies in Utah is milk. In the past few years we are starting to see growth in Organic and Artisan Dairies. Artisan dairies tend to be smaller and make and market their own products – primarily cheese. These Artisan Dairies now include milking sheep and goats, as well as the traditional cow. Even though this sector is small in relationship to the traditional dairy farms, it is a growth area. However, we are extremely concerned about the long-term profitability of all dairies and hope that by making information from the university more readily available, we can aid in maintaining the viability of this important industry in Utah.

Tools for designers, product engineers, manufacturing professionals and other innovators collaborating on product development. If you are responsible for rapid authoring, analysis and validation of products and processes, then click here to find how ENOVIA can help.
ENOVIA Collaborative Design for Solid Edge
ENOVIA® Collaborative Design for Solid Edge provides a multi-site Solid Edge design data management solution for the extended enterprise.
ENOVIA Collaborative Design for Solid Edge allows designers to effortlessly access, manage, share, and store Solid Edge data without leaving their preferred environment. ENOVIA Collaborative Design for Solid Edge facilitates process workflow, increases data integrity, and improves configuration management. From Solid Edge, users can search and browse the ENOVIA system, and lock and checkout design or drawings to their local drives. After modification, users can upload changes to ENOVIA.
- Maintain accurate representations of the intended design in the PLM database.
- Achieve centralized management of all CAD files.
- Control work-in-process, engineering changes, data, documents, and dynamic configurations.
- Give non-engineering personnel direct, task-specific access to current CAD data.
- Reduce the possibility of redundant, inaccurate, or out-of-date product information.
- Increase information sharing while protecting intellectual property from unauthorized access.
- Achieve ISO compliance.
- Improve design control and business process management to realize truly functional product development and delivery.
Product Structure Data IntegrityThe combination of ENOVIA Collaborative Design for Solid Edge and ENOVIA Designer Central provides a powerful solution in maintaining the integrity and timeliness of Solid Edge data in the ENOVIA system. ENOVIA Collaborative Design for Solid Edge controls the relationships between Solid Edge entities and how they are presented in the database. When a drawing is created, it becomes the parent by the very nature of the internal reference to the part. Another example is when a structure is being checked out for loading in the CAD application. ENOVIA Collaborative Design for Solid Edge controls what must be checked out for proper assembly in the CAD application while ENOVIA Designer Central capabilities provide the user interface and business process accesses for the operation to be performed. Once files are checked out data integrity issues may occur prior to checking the file back in to ENOVIA. Users attempting edits to designs they do not have locked are presented with a warning message that the local file is read-only. The user may then attempt to lock the design in order to save the designs to ENOVIA or continue editing to perform what-if scenarios. Additionally, if editing is continued, the user is presented with a final warning at the time of check-in to either attempt to lock the design or save the design to a new revision stream. If neither is selected, the design changes will not be stored into the ENOVIA database. ENOVIA Collaborative Design for Solid Edge provides an auto-recognition capability that gives the user confidence that on check-in the file will be associated with the same revision/version stream from which it was checked out. Another aspect of maintaining data integrity is the synchronization between the CAD designs and the objects stored in the PLM database.
Product Driven DesignsUtilization of ENOVIA Collaborative Design for Solid Edge and ENOVIA® Engineering Central™ allows the automatic synchronization of a CAD design structure to an Engineering Bill-of-Material (EBOM). This link is critical to the correct representation of the intended design. While saving designs to ENOVIA, there is an option for users to automatically create and associate an engineering part to the corresponding CAD design. The CAD design is available immediately to the engineering community as a specification to the engineering part. Engineers may view a graphical representation of the associated specification.
Microsoft Windows Explorer-based Interface for Workspace ManagementA Microsoft Windows® Explorer-based interface lets users access their local workspaces to perform lock/unlock, open and refresh operations. Access is also available to ENOVIA workspaces and folder content, "My Locked Objects," "Collections," and "Recently Checked in Files". All ENOVIA managed data is represented to the user as if it is stored locally on the client. Users are able to utilize standard Explorer user interaction techniques to perform lock/unlock and open designs operations.
Quick AccessENOVIA Collaborative Design for Solid Edge has been designed to allow users to manage their CAD files with minimal effort. The user interface allows users to remain in the context of the CAD application while performing daily routine tasks that interface with ENOVIA. During a save operation, the user is presented with only preselected new and modified designs, which eliminates the need to traverse the structure to locate the desired items. Added flexibility is provided to save the active design "Save Active", or save all loaded designs "Save All". In addition, a "Quick Save" command saves all new and modified in-session designs without any further display or user interaction. Additionally, users may manually input the revision sequence for the stored designs. Opening designs is also easy. Users may search ENOVIA, and access designs from previously stored queries, workspace folders, stored collections, or from recently accessed designs directly from the "Open" dialog.
Exploring in ENOVIAWith the "Explore in ENOVIA" command, users may quickly review related parts and associated drawings, perform "where used" and "lifecycle" operations, and interrogate associated Engineering Change Orders (ECOs).
Baseline StructuresENOVIA Collaborative Design for Solid Edge provides a baseline capability that permits users to preserve a specific configuration of a structure. Baselines can be created from the CAD application or ENOVIA for any stored configuration of a design. A baseline may be retrieved at any time for further investigation or used as the design's final representation for release.
Product Structure MaintenanceENOVIA Collaborative Design for Solid Edge represents and maintains accurate, complex product structures throughout the product's lifecycle. The product maps and maintains relationships among assemblies, parts, and other application-specific items as users check in and checkout items, or users browse the ENOVIA Designer Central vault contents. In addition, ENOVIA Designer Central can store previous configurations to permit baselines and rollbacks. This also allows for virtual structure management through direct access to previous revisions/version combinations stored in the database. Users often utilize configurations of individual designs, assembly and component instances, in their structures. These instances of designs streamline user development processes through the reuse of similar existing geometry. Users have the flexibility to decide which instances to store. All instances, active and inactive as well as the family are listed in the dialogue. If a user only selects the instance the family is automatically saved to preserve data integrity. ENOVIA Collaborative Design for Inventor manages and tracks the associative relationships of these instance designs.
Revision ControlOrganizations can maintain multiple revision trees of designs within ENOVIA Designer Central without manually creating new subdirectories or changing filenames. When ENOVIA Collaborative Design for Solid Edge users create a new revision, ENOVIA Designer Central automatically saves it as a new business object, adds the sequential revision code to the item name, and relates it to the previous release. There is no need to propagate name changes interactively in the CAD application across files that reference the revised item.
Design Team CollaborationENOVIA Collaborative Design for Solid Edge provides the critical connection between the mechanical CAD process and effective product development. Initially by providing user driven derived output by design type, users control when and what format of generated files for downstream processing. Then by uniting the management power of ENOVIA Designer Central with the design and engineering power of ENOVIA Collaborative Design for Solid Edge, users are provided real-world control of the work-in-progress product design environment. ENOVIA Collaborative Design for Solid Edge benefits from the following collaboration features in ENOVIA Designer Central: • CAD structure and EBOM synchronization validation • Advanced CAD structure management in ENOVIA • Design data workspaces • Notification of design modifications of interest • Online collaboration meetings • Web-based design visualization without native CAD tool. To ensure that designers that do not overwrite each other's work, it is possible to query for the status of locally referenced designs from the context of the CAD tool. This display shows the design's type, name, current revision, current version, latest version available, and the user that has the design locked. Right mouse button commands allow users to lock, unlock and display design properties. Once this window is activated, it may stay on the desktop while the user continues to work in the CAD application. When a user changes work designs, the PLM status window may be 'refreshed" to update the display with the current active design status.
The Role of ENOVIA V6 and PLM 2.0ENOVIA Collaborative Design for Solid Edge supports PLM 2.0, product lifecycle management online for everyone, and the ENOVIA V6 values, which are: • Global collaborative innovation • Single PLM platform for intellectual property (IP) management • Online creation and collaboration • Ready to use PLM business processes • Lower cost of ownership.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
Mesia Nyman, district ranger with the US Forest Service, told the Emery County Public Lands Council about a seasonal road closure being considered. "Seasonal road closures are put in place at the discretion of the local supervisor for the protection of the forest roads, winter range and wildlife," Nyman began.
"We have seasonal closures in place on Horn Mountain at the present time. The only road on Horn that remains open during the winter months is the main road and that is for the communication tower access for the county. People are ignoring the road closures and traveling off the main road anyway. So we have proposed to put a gate in just south of Joe's Valley reservoir and before the Mary's Lake road," stated Nyman.
Lands councilmember Jim Gilson questioned Nyman about the access to the mountain and the surrounding area beneath Mary's Lake for hunters, both late elk and cougar, and other recreationists. "With the forest service's failure to enforce its closures, this means you are closing our land and locking out thousands of people because you can't enforce your laws," said Gilson.
Nyman responded with the cost effectiveness of this gated option. "A gate would cost around $500 and to have enforcement officers on the mountain at all times would require many, many thousands. We don't have the budget for that. I know enforcement is difficult, and I know we have to make concessions for those hunters with late cow tags. Our real problems are coming from the shed horn hunters in the spring when the roads are muddy or impassable. They seem to want to travel across country and not stay on the roads," Nyman said.
Nyman said the Division of Wildlife Resources has not requested this road closure action, although they would not object to it. She stated the closure would be seasonal only and is supervisor ordered. Closures of this kind do not require a NEPA study, and can be expanded or contracted.
Gilson suggested a seasonal road closure to be later in the year which would allow the hunters and others into the area, and restrict the horn hunters who are doing the damage to the roads.
Lands councilmember Gary Petty stated he agreed with the closure. He felt it was the full sized vehicles doing the damage and not ATVs. Nyman stressed the point that the issue is not tearing up the roads, but stressing the animals. "Our seasonal closures in place now are not effective," said Nyman.
Mark H Williams said he agreed with Gilson. "We need more enforcement not more closure," said Williams. He suggested the forest service put up more signage to let people know exactly what roads are closed and why.
Another seasonal closure being proposed by Nyman is near Grassy Lake. The proposal is to install a gate to close the South Reeder trail. Another proposed change is on the Hole Trail. The seasonal closure already in place there will be moved out closer to the Muddy River and will not allow travel as far into the canyon. The closure will probably be moved to the forest service boundary.
Another matter discussed by Nyman was one road and one trail that have never been opened by the forest service for motorized travel and are being traveled regularly. One is the Olsen Canyon road and the other is the portion of the Great Western Trail that runs from Grassy Lake to Pete's Hole.
Olsen Canyon road has never been on the forest service travel maps. It was inadvertently left off the route management plan, so it is considered a closed route. Users continue to remove the sign and travel the route illegally. Nyman proposes to make the closure more permanent by a higher and stronger barrier.
Emery County Commissioner Jeff Horrocks told Nyman if the forest service would open that route, it would be a good compromise with the public. "It has been used for, probably 75 years or more and I feel it would be beneficial for the forest service to open it," said Commissioner Horrocks.
Following some discussion of this route, the decision was made by Nyman to put this route on the priority list for opening. It will require a NEPA be done and will take several years, and will probably be limited to less than 52 inch vehicles only.
For the time being, the Olsen Canyon road will remain closed and enforcements will be put in place until the road is formally opened through the process. The suggestion was made to install signage to explain the situation to the users.
After the trail discussion, Councilman Gilson asked about the beetle killed trees which are falling across roads and trails. Nyman said that users are encouraged to carry saws and to cut the trees out of the trail and not make additional routes around the trees. Next year a project will begin which will allow the dead timber from along roads and trails and around campgrounds to be removed for safety reasons.

Take a look here to see if Il Volo is showing somewhere nearby
In May 2009, three fresh-faced teenagers, Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble, appeared on the popular Italian talent show Ti Lascio Una Canzone and dazzled television viewers with their flawless rendition of the Neapolitan standard O Sole Mio.
It wasn't long before IL VOLO's managers; Michele Torpedine (who has looked after the careers of Andrea Bocelli and Italian rock star Zucchero) and world renowned singer/producer Tony Renis who landed a worldwide recording contract for the trio with Universal Music Group which released IL VOLO's self-titled debut album in Italy November 2010.
The album was a major success, paving the way for a record deal with Geffen in the US, the first time an Italian artist has signed with the label. There's been no resting on any laurels since then though - this 2016 tour follows the release of an Elvis Tribute Album.

At least for short-term traders, all this exuberance from fund investors is starting to look cautionary.
Over at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, in a note entitled, "It's Getting Frothy, Man!," chief investment strategist Michael Hartnett just told clients another $8 or $9 billion equity-fund inflows the next two weeks "would trigger a contrarian 'sell' signal" in the firm's models.
Equity funds enjoyed some $13.5 billion in fresh inflows for the week ending Oct. 23, and another $3.1 billion in the week through Wednesday, according to Lipper.
Stock-fund inflows are on track for the biggest rise since 2000, according to TrimTabs Investment Research.
Don't forget to weigh investors' love for "hot," risky areas like European stocks, Japan and its "Abenomics," high-yield bonds and floating-rate debt.
Do long-term investors need to worry? Probably not.
While fund investors show damaging return-chasing behavior and remarkably poor market-timing skills, read Mark Hulbert on why investor sentiment is best used as a short-term indicator.
In the last week, SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) was a big draw, with $1.3 billion in fresh inflows, while another $275 million exited SPDR Gold Trust (GLD). In bonds, iShares iBoxx USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG) pulled in $187 million and iShares Floating Rate Bond (FLOT) gained $162 million. Figures from Lipper.

UtahAmerican Energy, Inc. and its subsidiary, Andalex Resources, Inc., a co-owner of the West Ridge Mine with Intermountain Power Agency, announced the company will argue its case for the mining plan it believes best ensures miners' safety before an administrative law judge hearing on Feb. 20. The company and the Mine Safety Health Administration (MSHA) have been at odds for weeks over numerous mining plan issues related to deep cover mining. The company and its experts believe MSHA's recommended mining practice would not only compromise miners' well-being, but will result in continued, more unpredictable bounces throughout the mine.
Additionally, the company believes a statement released on Feb. 18 by MSHA is regrettable in that it implies only it has the miners' best interests at heart. Moreover, MSHA inaccurately reported that the West Ridge mining complex does not currently utilize barriers when in fact it does.
UEI continues to rely upon its engineers and geotechnical specialists, who have deep cover mining experience, which MSHA's specialists lack. Also, contrary to recent reports, bounces at the West Ridge mine have not become greater in size and frequency. The current mining plan has proven to isolate bounces to only one area of the longwall face creating more predictability, manageability and safety.
The company previously attempted panel barrier mining, the method insisted upon by MSHA, at the now closed Tower mining complex. As result of this mining practice, the complex experienced bounces that tended to be less predictable. According to company officials, MSHA inspectors appear to believe they can "stop" bounces at West Ridge with similar practices used to "stop" bounces in a mine in Virginia. The company and its experts, however, understand that eastern mining conditions are nowhere near comparable to deep cover western mining.
"Per the assessment of extensive internal studies, management and workforce, and consultation of world renowned geotechnical specialists, the company has concluded the current mine plan is safe and suitable for miners," said Kevin Anderson, an attorney for the company. "Stopping at the current location and pulling the longwall out in deep cover conditions - where large chunks of coal are more likely to fall from the roof because we're required to sit idle - would add substantial risk for injury or worse. Instead of basing their suggested mining methodology on proven studies or relevant experience, MSHA has decided to roll the dice without making a thorough evaluation."
In terms of safety, the company has implemented state of the art safety measures, including remote mining in the most bounce-prone areas. The plan has exceeded all expectations. It has the added benefit of serving as an extremely educational, productive experience for UEI and MSHA. Furthermore, the company knows of no other coal mine in North America operating a remote longwall or utilizing the extensive safety features now in place at West Ridge.
According to Anderson, "MSHA's most recent claim stating that West Ridge has 'no barrier pillars in place' is completely false. As displayed in the mining plan, a significant barrier is located between the panel being currently mined and the next panel the company would like to mine. As evident by MSHA's mischaracterizations, this opens up questions about department's true motives regarding West Ridge and beyond."

Searching for the perfect t-shirt to rock your fall denim with? We've got the answer! And it's designer Aimee David, better known as the Queen of E.vil (don't worry, it sounds way more goth than it is). Be sure that once you don one of her semi-sparkling, pop-color, audacious tops and pair them with your jeans, from acid wash to dark wash, you'll be fashion royalty yourself. Witty, inspiring, exciting… we love this line! And we got the behind-the-scenes scoop for you in this Q&A…
Denim Therapy: Let's start from the beginning. How did you know you wanted to be a designer?
Queen of E.vil: I always liked to standout- in high school I was voted most original- I loved concepts and graphics and color combinations.
DT: Do you have any pre-designing rituals?
QoE: Just to live my life authentically; To let life give me sound inspiration.
DT: Describe the person that represents your ideal target customer.
QoE: Someone who has a voice- or wants to connect with new and interesting people through fashion statements.
DT: Do you have any favorite/least favorite denim trends right now?
QoE: I thought I would like the jeggings from Hue– but I was dissapointed with the fit. I like J Brand.
DT: Any favorite denim brands? Or denim stores?
QoE: Jbrand. I used to wear Paige denim but after two kids loosing and gaining weight… I just stick to one brand-no time to mix it up.
DT: How do you style your denim and tees? And where would you be going in them?
QoE: Everywhere. We need a nice versatile formal clever jean skirt or denim stretch dress—that's missing… Snap to it Ms. J Brand!!!

TUPELO – For the Tupelo Golden Wave and the Shannon Red Raiders, finding any type of offensive flow on Friday night was like pulling teeth.
So it was only fitting that a solitary free throw in the closing seconds decided the matter.
Junior J. J. Ashby's free throw with 5.4 seconds to play lifted the Wave to a 52-51 victory in a contest that was a extreme demonstration of hard defense.
"A win right now was much better than a loss when you're trying to grow like we are," Tupelo head coach Jeff Norwood said. "It's always been a good rivalry.
"They fight to the finish, and we'll do the same thing."
Shannon (19-7) trailed by five points as late as 46-41 with 4 minutes, 41 seconds to play. Gritty Raiders defense paid off with sophomore Zavier Jones hitting a shot from the wing with 1:32 left to tie the contest at 51-51.
critical free throw
Defense continued to dominate, with the Wave (16-10) crashing the boards on a shot, and Ashby getting sent to the line with the game on the line. The junior made the first, missed the second, and Shannon missed a potential winning 3-pointer.
"We battled, especially on defense," Shannon head coach Cedric Brim said. "Our defense kept us in the game."
Balanced Tupelo scoring saw Quinn Tiggs lead the way with 9 points, while Lakee Westbrook bagged 25 for Shannon, 13 in the fourth quarter.
Shannon led 17-9 after the first quarter, and 25-21 at the half.
(G) Tupelo 68, Shannon 64: The Lady Wave (17-8) recovered from a 51-41 third-quarter deficit to claim the win.
There were four lead changes in the final period, with Tupelo getting the lead for good at 62-61 with 3:26 left on a Marqueesha Hoskins rebound and basket. Hoskins added another basket, and Casey Marshall scored four points to ice the win.
Marshall paced the Lady Wave offense with 22, while Alexandrea Metcalf scored 22 points for Shannon.

I tried it and felt very good...I bought it at 40% off which made my day. I wear it at least three time a week to work. They look stylish and dressy with lots of comfort. Thanks DSW."

Dockers Oxfords
"I bought these for my 14 year old who started High School with a strict dress code policy. I have always loved Dockers shoes for women and thought he would really like these for school to wear all day without any discomfort issues but still look stylish and casual enough for the school he attends. He loves them."

Comfortable & Versatile Dress Shoe
"I think this is my fifth or sixth pair of Dockers Gordon Oxfords... really! They are comfortable for everyday wear, hold up well in varied environments and keep their shine with very little care. I work in both corporate and industrial (warehouse) locations, sometimes have to go into wet locations and just wipe them off and they still look great. I walk alot and they are very comfortable when standing for long periods on hard floors thanks to the built-in cushion in the heel. I hope Dockers never discontinues this shoe (please please don't!)"

George Skivington and Ian Humphreys return to the London Irish starting XV for Saturday's Premiership clash with Saracens.
Scott Lawson, George Skivington and Ian Humphreys will all return to the London Irish starting line-up for Saturday's Premiership clash with Saracens at Madejski Stadium.
Lawson will be joined by Max Lahiff and Halani Aulika in the front row. George Skivington will partner Bryn Evans in the second row; the New Zealander will also captain the side. Ian Humphreys and Pat Phibbs will form the half-back combination.
Jonathan Joseph is a late withdrawal due to ankle injury, meaning Guy Armitage is moved to outside centre with Shane Geraghty starting at 12. Kieran Low comes onto the bench.
"It's great that we will be back playing at Madejski in front of our home crowd in such a big game," said London Irish Director of Rugby, Brian Smith.
"Saracens are a formidable team in the Aviva Premiership and Europe and they'll give us a thorough examination. In saying that, we don't fear any team in this league and the boys are itching to put in a big performance and hopefully get the result as well."
Meanwhile, Saracens welcome back David Strettle, Will Fraser, George Kruis, Duncan Taylor and Joel Tomkins from international action to start the game against the Exiles.
Steve Borthwick also returns to captain the side and forms a second row partnership with Alistair Hargreaves while Neil de Kock, Matt Stevens and John Smit are back in the starting line-up.
Alex Goode, Chris Ashton, Brad Barritt, Owen Farrell, Mako Vunipola and Kelly Brown miss the game on international duty.
Form: London Irish's 6-10 defeat in Cardiff in the Anglo-Welsh Cup on Friday ended a four game winning run in all competitions. The Exiles, however, remain the worst side in Aviva Premiership Rugby on current form, having obtained just six league points from their last half a dozen encounters. Saracens have won their last eight contests in all tournaments since their 9-15 reversal in Munster on 8 December. Sarries only away defeat in the Premiership since September was 3-12 at Worcester on 23 November. Saracens have taken the last four encounters between the two clubs.
The teams:
London Irish: 15 Tom Homer, 14 Topsy Ojo, 13 Guy Armitage, 12 Shane Geraghty, 11 Marland Yarde, 10 Ian Humphreys, 9 Pat Phibbs, 8 Chris Hala'ufia 7 Jebb Sinclair, 6 Matt Garvey, 5 Bryn Evans (Captain), 4 George Skivington, 3 Halani Aulika, 2 Scott Lawson, 1 Max Lahiff.
Replacements: 16 Mike Mayhew, 17 Jerry Yanuyanutawa, 18Leo Halavatau, 19 Jamie Gibson, 20 Ofisa Treviranus, 21 Kieran Low, 22 Steven Shingler, 23 Jack Moates

Replacements: 16 Schalk Brits, 17 Rhys Gill, 18 Petrus du Plessis, 19 Mouritz Botha, 20 Jackson Wray, 21 Richard Wigglesworth, 22 Nils Mordt, 23 James Short.

With many trials going on, consumers will soon expect delivery within hours, an e-retailer says.
The rush is on to figure out a way to deliver parcels to online shoppers the same day they place their orders. E-commerce giants like Amazon, Walmart.com and eBay are conducting tests. Google Inc. and the U.S. Postal Service are getting in on the act, as are start-ups focused on same-delivery, such as Deliv and Shutl. What comes out of these trials could have a big impact on how online retailers like me conduct our business.
At this point, the battle is confined to Silicon Valley and a few other markets. But make no mistake—the future of e-commerce will be all about same-day delivery. Companies like Amazon, eBay, Wal-Mart and Google can quickly change consumer expectations and thus the way we do business. Right now local shops are where consumers fill an immediate need, but the same-day shipping wars will result in new options for the busy and time-challenged shopper.
Spreadshirt does face a unique challenge in this business model—we have to balance consumer expectations with our product line, which is based on print and manufacture on demand.
Therefore, managing consumer expectations and hitting delivery dates is absolutely critical to our success. Further complicating matters is the compressed delivery cycle; every Spreadshirt product is printed upon order with the majority of US customers unaware that their order is printed instead of picked from a shelf. Delivery time is absolutely core to our business but should never be noticed or problematic for a shopper.
Given the urgency of short delivery cycles, we opened a new production facility in Nevada during 2012 to reduce 1 to 2 shipping days from our existing Greensburg, Pa., plant to California and West Coast consumers. We are totally committed to delivering products quickly in the US market and this strategy has assisted in speeding up the delivery process.
Currently, we do not have production facilities within the shipping war zones so we are not yet a contender in same-day delivery. However, to survive and thrive in e-commerce, we must adapt to the new business landscape once same day delivery is offered in many popular markets. We are all accustomed to the price and quality aspects of our competition, but now speed of delivery adds a new dimension. Shorter shipping cycles are ultimately a better experience for the consumer and we are all about the enhancement of the consumer experience. Since much of the shipping battle will be about market share, I don't expect whatever same-day delivery services that emerge to charge exorbitant rates. My goal is to offer a better consumer experience with a minimal price increase. The net impact of the shipping wars will deliver precisely these results.
The line between retail and e-retail grows finer every day as big outlets known for "bricks" are entering our world of "clicks" for captivating American shoppers. Most Americans have ordered online and they expect wide product ranges, top quality, favorable pricing, and easy return policies—making them very comfortable with online shopping. This level of trust has propelled the e-commerce market as the fastest growing retail sector in the U.S.
In my opinion, price and service wars are ultimately good for the consumer and any good retailer will deliver what the customer expects or will get lost in the shuffle. After all, e-commerce is popular because it offers greater choice, quality, service and price than offline experiences to customers. Spreadshirt will continue with what has worked—providing top-quality print-on-demand apparel and accessories that are not offered offline, with quick delivery. We will continue to move towards faster shipping models and methods that shorten the time between the brands we work with and their loyal customer bases.

FN Weekend Open Thread - Let's Play (EA) Hockey!!!!
September 29 2012 10:27AM
Saturday nights, historically, has been owned by Hockey Night In Canada, and with good reason. Since 1952, the CBC flagship has graced our flickering television sets with the likes of Maurice Richard, Bobby Hull, Gordie Howe, Phil Esposito, Bobby Orr, Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, and Aaron Gavey, while we, the hockey mad gluttons that we are, kick back with our beer and nachos and watch progressively angrier as Bob Cole continues to wither and decay live on the air and Jim Hughson makes even less of an attempt to hide his ever present Vancouver Canucks er...tent pitching.
The only times that we fail to embark on our weekend hockey constitutionals is during the offseason, obviously, and in those now more frequent moments where dudes with more money than we could ever hope to make butt heads with other dudes with even more money that we could ever hope to make.
And that's when the shakes start. What's worse, when the NHL locks out it's players, CBC has it's contingency plan in place, and they're getting as good at utilizing it as the NHL is. I of course refer to the now legendary MOVIE NIGHT IN CANADA, which, I don't need to tell you noble citizens, is just the absolute worst. I love Mr. Bean as much as the next guy, but try putting up with him 30 times over the course of a hockey season and not wanting to Shea Weber his head into the glass of his Austin Mini windshield.
Let's Ge this Party Started
We here at FlamesNation do not want to put you through that level of torment, and we have offered you a solution. If you're like us, which, you know if you are, we're sorry and we empathize, and there's also a good chance that you don't have any friends or loved ones to pay attention to or get intimate with or whatever (again, we know). Knowing this, we've set up an EA Sports NHL 13 GM Connected Hockey League. Now, if you're like us, but you play NHL 13 on a PS3, well then we're really sorry, but we have nothing for you. After most of you answered in the form of "I have an Xbox" when polled about the potential of an online league, it's the only one we set up (also mostly becase none of us have a PlayStation either).
Regardless, it's time for you Citizens to put up or shut up and duke it out for digital bragging rights. There are 28 spots available for the FlamesNation league in GM Connected (we thought we'd make it really hard for you to figure out what the league name might be called). Arik and myself, working under the Xbox Live names of ErasingArik and PeelinStucco (named gloriously after the bathroom ceiling in the house I lived in when I created the account) have graciously done you all a solid by taking control of the Florida Panthers and the Columbus Blue Jackets respectively, so none of you have to worry about that (However Vancouver and Edmonton remain ominously available as options as well).
The Nation Citizens are as social and close knit as any other random group of anonymous strangers, so let's use that closeness and warm feelings to good use by exploiting them and turning you against each other in the spirit of competition and militant destruction.
If you want to join, we're all for it, under these caveats:
- Again, we can only take 28 more of you (however you can always team up with up to 5 people to manage a team, so there is flexibility here)
- We're going to do this on a first come first serve basis.
- If you want to join, request an invitation from the Commissioner (THAT'S ME!) in the FlamesNation league, but also leave a comment under this Weekend Open Thread comments section and leave your xbox live name, so we know that we're admitting the right people
Want the Flames? It'll Cost You (a donation)
One last thing on this, and that's that we know (or maybe just assume) that most of you joining would want to control your hometown boys, the Calgary Flames. Especially considering that we've completely randomized the rosters, and Calgary boasts the likes of Ilya Kovalchuk, Logan Couture, Joe Pavelski, Alex Semin, and Kevin Shattenkirk on its roster. In other words, they're actually pretty good. Although you'll have to suffer with Brian Elliot as your starting goaltender, but it sorta worked for St. Louis, right?
Well knowing this, we decided we're going to make you earn it. The comments section here is also going to serve as an impromptu auction section as well, because if you want to play as the Flames, it's going to cost you a donation to Ryan Lambert's 826 Boston Write-a-thon. Highest winning bid by the end of the weekend wins the glory of leading the Calgary Flames to like 8th place or something.
And obviously if none of you donate, you're all selfish jerks and no one gets them and we've all learned a vauable lesson in charity and goodwill.
So have a good weekend, and rest up, because the Quest for Glory is forthcoming.
PS - As mentioned this is the XBox group, but if there is enough demand we can get a PS3 group going too. If there's enough participation across either or both, Kent will see about rounding up prizes for the seasons champions and such.
What is still available
I will take a team (Kings or Sharks)
