I didn't even know these pictures existed until Jackie emailed earlier this week, gushing. Thanks Jackie! Sorry Jackie! But you were gushing!
Thought it would be a good way to send you on your weekend – Hot Harry and Tom Hardy who might not be holding a puppy but also isn't looking weirdly unattractive in costume. He does a lot of that these days.
These were taken last month at the Audi Polo Challenge in Ascot, England.

Ba completes Chelsea switch
Demba Ba declared there was no comparison between Chelsea and Newcastle - or West Ham - after completing his move to the European champions.
- Related Content
The Blues announced the signing of Ba on a three-and-half-year contract on Friday morning after activating the £7million release clause in his Magpies contract, the value of which had controversially become public ahead of the transfer window.
It is the second time Ba has exploited such a clause since moving to English football, having been allowed to leave West Ham following their 2011 Barclays Premier League relegation.
But he had no regrets about his career path, revealing he had said to himself, "Yes I've done it", after being given permission to join Chelsea.
The Senegal star told the club's official website, www.chelseafc.com: "This club is at another level - it isn't West Ham or Newcastle.
"They are both big clubs with a strong history, but Chelsea is Chelsea and you cannot compare.
"It will be easier with world-class players around, who make the football look so easy."
He added: "Yesterday, I was looking back and smiling to myself, saying, 'Yes, I've done it'.
"I feel very proud, not only for me but the people who supported me over the years - my agent for instance who has been there since I was 15, my mum as well because when I skipped school she was afraid but today I am very proud for my family.
"I never lost belief in my football though, never. You keep working and things come. Rewards always come."
Ba insisted his move early in the window had given Newcastle plenty of time to recruit a replacement.
"It was important for me, and for Newcastle, to get my future sorted and now we can move on," he said.
"Now they have the whole month to buy someone and, for me as well, the sooner the better. Now I am here I just need to get settled in.
"When the club who won the Champions League wants you, the decision-making is very easy. This club is massive and that's something that helped the decision a lot. It was not a hard one."
Ba's transfer activity has led to him being branded a mercenary in some quarters, while there have also been concerns about a long-standing knee problem.
But Chelsea interim manager Rafael Benitez today shrugged off fears over the fitness and fidelity of the first signing of his reign.
Insisting there was no problem with his medical, Benitez added: "I think that he's a good professional.
"That is the information that we have and hopefully he will show this. I was talking with him about what I am expecting from him, and he was okay.
"Professional football is quite difficult and then the players move around, the managers move around.
"The main things for me were to be professional, to do the right things for your club and, this, I think everyone is expecting."

By Rainer HuckSLCUT
When congress enacted the original Wilderness legislation in 1964, it seemed, to be a pretty good idea, much like all other impending environmental bills. The act envisioned about 15 million acres of already highly restricted land, containing no roads or other impacts of man, would ultimately be designated.
But over the years the political environmentalist and their friends in the judiciary mutilated this well intentioned law until it became a Frankenstein monster, intent on devouring every scenic acre in its path. Instead of being the last resort classification for the most rare and exemplary natural landscapes, Wilderness is now the default designation for all public lands, having thus far consumed more than 150 million acres with no end in sight.
Luckily we in Utah have been substantially spared the onslaught of this BLM land grabbing juggernaut except for Washington County which was sacrificed to the Earth Goddess Gaia by the closet democrat Bob Bennett who revealed his true colors by taking a job with the Wilderness Society shortly after being booted out by an unusually perceptive Republican convention.
Sadly, we are again in great danger of massive wilderness mediated, not by the political environmentalists as we might expect, but rather by lobbyists paid for by the taxpayers of Emery County! They have produced a bill that they claim must be passed in all possible haste, calling for a whopping 150,000 acres in excess of the long established and exorbitantly large Wilderness Study Areas.
This is wrong on so many levels. Here are just a few examples of why this bill must never see the light of day.
First, most of the land in question does not fit the requirements of the 1964 law. It is not pristine and untrammeled by man and contains many hundreds of miles of roads. There were thousands of mines with bull dozers crawling all over the place in the 50's and 60's. Because roads are incompatible with wilderness, the BLM's publications have gone to incredible linguistic contortions to avoid the word "road", but their "doublespeak" doesn't change the reality on the ground or make the roads vanish.
Second, all future economic development will be forever outlawed. The inhabitants of Emery County will become the servants and porters for politically correct eco-tourists, which will become the only remaining economic activity. Grazing will be banned (check the GSENM if you have any doubt of this), and meanwhile our revered President Obama has made no secret of killing coal as an energy resource. No new mining, oil exploration, or non eco-tourism development will be allowed. The people of Emery County will become trespassers on their own land; outcasts from the King's Forest Wilderness will create.
Third, wilderness designation is unconstitutional and illegally discriminatory. It violates the First Amendment by implementing religious gospels through the force of law. If you have any doubt as to the religious nature of the environmental movement and their beloved wilderness, just checkout their writings and their reverence to Earth Goddess Gaia. In addition, wilderness bans all motorized and mechanized traffic, even on existing roads, thereby shutting out every American with a mobility disability, which includes most of our elderly people and other protected populations. It's quite odd that in a time of supreme political correctness, where the rights of every minority are given almost holy status, the rights of so many other good people are dismissed without apology or even notice. Fortunately, there are a number of powerful laws and constitutional protections that, if finally invoked, can shatter the wilderness paradigm.
Fourth, the fallacious argument propelling the current wilderness crusade claims that our beloved President Obama will act if we don't designate immediately. Well, this is analogous to committing suicide in order to avoid the possibility of being murdered. Very effective but not very smart! President Obama hates Utah and will do whatever pleases the political environmentalists independent of our action or inaction. The tragedy here is that the Republicans didn't fix the Antiquities Act when they had the chance. Much of the blame goes to them (and especially to Orrin Hatch) if President Obama creates National Monuments, which, it should be noted, is not nearly as bad as Wilderness. They can be managed for multiple use and are reversible, neither of which applies to wilderness.
The people of Emery County and of Utah must to stand up and say no to this insane sellout to the political environmentalists. Remember, they will take what you give them now and soon come back for the rest. There is no compromise possible with them, ever. There is zero benefit to us in wilderness designation, which shifts total control of our public land to Washington D.C., where powerful interests inimical to Utah will always be in control. The only defensible position is no more wilderness!
So, what can we do now? First of all, we must stop squandering Emery County taxpayer's money doing SUWA's work. Frankly, SUWA has plenty of cash to lobby for massive wilderness and doesn't require any subsidy. Just have a look at the luxurious TV commercials saturating the airwaves and you'll see why. They currently are in Federal Court suing every BLM resource area to further restrict already punitive travel plans. Judge Dale Kimble recently handed down a crushing decision in the Richfield Resource Area that will close much of the meager access granted by the recent 10 million dollar RMP. With no one to oppose them, the same outcome is likely in all the lawsuits. SUWA doesn't need any additional help in their closure efforts!
Their record shows that SUWA's land confiscation program will never end! No matter what you give them, they'll always come back for more. Right now they're busy scheming in Washington to create a bunch of abusive National Monuments in Utah. Nothing the Emery County Public Lands Council does to give away our land will have the slightest effect on them. They will never be satisfied. We must demand that proposed phony Wilderness bill resulting from these efforts needs to be completely scrapped.
Everyone must contact our Governor and all members of our congressional delegation demanding there be no more wilderness. Senator Mike Lee is especially critical because typically the opposition of just one Senator can torpedo a wilderness bill applicable to his home state. Senator Hatch who has become prone to accommodating anything that increases the power of the Federal Government especially needs to hear from you.
You can get full contact information for our congressional delegation at congress.com.
Contact Governor Herbert's office and ask that the State of Utah intervene in the five ongoing lawsuits and appeal the decision in the Richfield case. Only the State is powerful enough to counter the SUWA's millions and minions.

"Love this shoe! I ordered this online and will be wearing it for a ballet boot camp/ dance fitness, which requires a lightweight tennis shoe, and this will be perfect! I know it says runner sneaker, but I don't run, so I can't attest to the comfort/ durability for running. The size runs a bit small (as most sneakers do). I normally wear a 7.5, and the 8 fits great."

What Romney's "I enjoy firing people" Gaffe Really Reveals About Him
Posted by Glenden Brown in This Blog on January 13, 2012
Courtesy of Paul Krugman from Digby's Hullabaloo:
. . . Romney's sense of privilege, and a relationship to the world around him that is alien to most Americans and reinforces everything that is wrong with the 1% in America.
The key part of what's off-putting about the gaffe isn't the first part about liking to fire people, so much as the second part about "who provide services to me." Liking to fire people is bad enough, but this is the real kicker.
When it comes to basic services like healthcare, almost no one in America sees the relationship that way. Most of us wouldn't speak of "firing" our health insurance company. No matter how much we might detest our insurance company, we probably wouldn't describe the experience of removing ourselves from their rolls an enjoyable one.
Mitt Romney isn't at fault for having been privileged, he's at fault for having no sense that other people aren't:
Romney talks about paying for health insurance as if it were the same as getting a pedicure, hiring an escort or getting the fancy wax at a car wash. It's a luxury service being provided to him, and he doesn't like it, he can take his business elsewhere. Romney's is the language of a man who has never wanted for anything, never worried about where his next paycheck would come from, never worried about going bankrupt if he got sick.
It is the language of an entitled empowerment utterly alien to the experience of most Americans, who feel victimized and bled dry without recourse by these rentier corporations. Romney sees himself as in charge of the relationship between himself and these entities. Most Americans don't. That's why the statement rankles and feels so off-putting to us. The mention of enjoying the act of "firing" them is just icing on the cake.
The divide between Romney's experience and the experiences of most Americans is vast. Most of us can't imagine firing our insurance company because – as sucktacular as they are – we can't risk being without their half-assed, unreasonably priced sevices.

Worked WellIm an african american and this worked well for my hair. I mixed this with Phyto 9 and my blowdry was great. My hair was left soft and silky. I think the key is not using a lot of the product. I used a cap sized amount.Jul 1, 2008Rbc / NYC

Not Good For African-american HairIm a black lady and this is not good at all for our hair!! It leaves a yucky white residue and it just kind of sits on the hair. It doesnt straighten or even slightly relax the curl. If you are caucasian this may be a good product, but if you are African American I strongly suggest staying away from this product!Apr 2, 2008Curly Girl

Phyto Does It AgainI have been using Phyto products for quite some time now. I like them all and this product just puts the icing on the Phyto cake. I have been using it for a week now and am satisfied. I usually find it difficult to find hair products that work for me since Im black but Phyto is good for hair period. I had been using the Garnier Sleek and Shine Serum and it works but this Phytodefrisant works better and lasts longer. Ive worked out this week and its still smooth and soft feeling.Mar 19, 2008Tyra / Farmington Hills, MI

Worth Every Penny!I hated to spend $26 on a product that I was afraid wouldnt work. I tried it for the first time this morning and it was worth every penny! My hair was so much smoother and I didnt have to use my flat Iron except to touch up a few places and style my hair! I wish it came in a bigger bottle for $26 but I will definitley be buying more when it runs out!Jan 24, 2008Tiffany / Elizabethtown, Ky

Great For Ethnic Hair!!!I am half Dominican and half Puerto Rican. At the roots of my hair I have extreme tight curly frizzy hair and I almost forgot to mention that my hair is extremely course! I started relaxing my hair when i was about six or seven but when I was in Highschool I saw that relaxing hair can be very damaging. So I have been natural for 4 years now. Some times when I go to the salon they always ask me if I want to relax my hair and I always say no. I know they ask me this because my hair is very unmanagable while it is wet. The only time I go to the salon is to get my hair trimmed other than that I do my own hair at home with my blower and excellent flat iron because I hate to hear these people telling me to relax it. One day I went for a trim and the lady told me that if I am not going to relax my hair then to buy a type of cream that can relax my roots temporarly. So I did some research on folica.com and some other places and saw that this product had the allure magazine award and had to good reviews so far. I decided to take a chance and buy it. I used the product two days ago at the salon. The stylist looked skeptical and so was I. After my rollers were dry it was time blow dry my hair. OMG!!! It smoothed and straightened my dry frizzy extremely tightly curled course hair. Me AND the stylist were amazed at the results. She made me tell her where she can get a bottle of her own and I gladly told her. This is the best product for any type of rebellious hair! Great investment! *MUAH* for the people at PHYTO!!!Jan 21, 2008Cindy / Flushing, N.Y.HAIR TYPELatin / Chemically Treated Hair

Fine For Fine HairIve tried numerous products to smooth the dry ends of my very fine hair---all left my hair greasy and stringy except for this one. Try it on wet hair, or a little after your hair is dry. Experiment, starting with a little bit at first. It really does work well.Jan 6, 2008Anonymous, Woman

The Best Relaxing Balm!I have been using this product for years and its really one of the only products I cannot live without. It is an absolute MUST if you: use a flat iron; have dry, frizzy, curly, hair; live in a humid climate; want super straight and shiny, healthy hair.It is all natural, no chemicals. I was surprised that a botanical based product could work so well but it works better than any other straightening balm Ive ever tried. The balm protects hair from heat styling. Its a clear gel with a watery consistency, feels slippery in the hands. Apply it to very wet hair and proceed with your heat styling. It never flakes or makes hair feel stiff or sticky. Leaves hair very shiny and straight.Like I said, Ive been using it for years. Last week, for the first time in forever, I forgot to put it on and didnt realize it until I was ready to start flat ironing. I had already done too much to start over at that time so I said whatever. Well....my hair was way different, it was puffy, not shiny and was harder to straighten. It was only then that I realized how well this balm really works. Try it you wont go back. And it might be pricey but a tube will last a long while. Good luck!Sep 25, 2007M

Haute Dog | SF 3
On February 7, 2014, fashion history was once again made. San Francisco's chicest pooches strutted their stuff on the catwalk, (or is it dogtrot?) as they showcased couture outfits designed specifically for them by some of the Bay Area's most prominent interior designers with exquisite fabrics provided by showrooms at the San Francisco Design Center. These doggie divas certainly worked the runway.
Hosted by local fashion icon Mr. Wilkes Bashford and sponsored in part by The Academy for Dog Trainers, Haute Dog | SF 3 offered wine, bites and a raffle as well as Posh Pup Lane, a shopping emporium of doggie delights. Funds were raised for Muttville Senior Dog Rescue, the event's beneficiary which finds happy homes for senior dogs.

LV=Cup holders Leicester resisted a ferocious fightback by London Irish to get their campaign back on track while Wasps beat Warriors.
Leicester Tigers 22-15 London Irish
Dragons 20-30 Northampton Saints
London Wasps 28-19 Worcester Warriors
Leicester Tigers 22-15 London Irish
Trailing 19-8 with 11 minutes left at Welford Road, the Exiles threw everything at Tigers – who were down to 14 men – and scored their second try of the afternoon to reduce the deficit to four points.
But young fly-half George Ford sealed victory with his fifth penalty of the game, taking his tally to 17 points.
Lock Rob Andrew scored Leicester's only try, while Irish scored two through Anthony Watson and Tom Homer.
Dragons 20-30 Northampton Saints
Fly-half Ryan Lamb booted 20 points as the Saints turned on the style after the interval to overturn a 10-6 half-time deficit.
Wing Tonderai Chavhanga scored only the third ever hat-trick of tries for the Dragons but it was not enough to prevent his side's second LV= Cup defeat this season.
Flanker Phil Dowson and wing Jamie Elliott got the tries for Northampton.
London Wasps 28-19 Worcester Warriors
Wasps opened their account in the LV= Cup as 21-year-old prop Simon McIntyre grabbed an opportunist try to help sink Worcester for the second time this season.
Winger Jack Wallace and replacement scrum-half Charlie Davies also scored for Wasps with fly-half Tommy Bell contributing 13 points with a 100 percent goal-kicking display.
Worcester replied with tries from centre Alex Grove, wing Andy Short and replacement wing Ben Howard, with fly-half Joe Carlisle landing two conversions.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Domestic violence is not limited to physical violence. It takes on many forms, including physical, emotional, sexual, verbal and psychological abuse by an intimate partner.
The main factor in domestic violence relationships is one partner using power and control over the other. Domestic violence is no longer perceived to be solely a private matter. It is also a societal problem. Not only are the abuser and abused impacted, but so are the children, extended family members, co-workers and others. The Emery County Domestic Violence Coalition believes that partner abuse warrants a community wide response. The coalition knows that only with education about domestic violence and by working together as members of a community can we provide intervention to families.
One statistic that prevails today is that women who leave their abusive partners are at a 75 percent greater risk of being killed by the partner than those who stay. (Domestic violence Fact Sheet, National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Washington, D.C.) This year, the Emery County Domestic Violence Coalition will sponsor our sixth annual Program in the Park. The program will be held at the Castle Dale City Park on Oct. 13 from noon-1 p.m. Our guest speaker will be Dolly Martinez. Dolly is a domestic violence family survivor. Her daughter Valarie was stalked and murdered by a former boyfriend in Salt Lake City in 2001. Dolly will tell Valarie's story and show some of her artwork. Dolly will share her insights about partner abuse and the emotional impact it had on her family. The program is free to the public and lunch will be provided by the coalition. In case of inclement weather, the program will be held in the old court house on the second floor.
The Emery County Domestic Violence Coalition expresses its heartfelt appreciation to the Holiday Inn in Price for donating hotel accommodations to its guests.
If you or someone you know needs more information about domestic violence, call Kathy at 381-4743 or the Utah State resource line at 1-800-897-5465 (LINK).

The pop star's savvy promotion paid off with the 16th biggest debut week in SoundScan history.
Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience tops Billboard after selling 968,000 copies in its first week, beating industry forecasts and his personal best of 684,000 copies for the debut of 2006's FutureSex/LoveSounds, according to new Nielsen SoundScan figures.
It's the biggest opener since Taylor Swift's Red sold 1.2 million copies in October, and the tallest bow by a male artist since Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III moved 1.01 million in 2008.
Based on industry experts, Billboard had estimated sales of 500,000 before 20/20's release, then raised projections almost daily as consumer frenzy grew.
"When you have arguably the biggest male pop star take a vacation for several years, there's a lot of demand for new music, and that demand never went away," says Keith Caulfield, Billboard's associate director of charts/retail.
20/20 ranks 16th among debut weeks and 19th overall in the SoundScan era. Only 18 albums in the past 20 years have opened with sales greater than 900,000, and the top two were by boy band 'N Sync, Timberlake's pre-solo affiliation.
On Spotify, 20/20 racked up 7.73 million U.S. streams its first week, second only to Mumford & Sons' Babel (with 8 million streams) in the digital music service's history. Every 20/20 track was streamed at least 500,000 times.
Smart promotion deserves partial credit. "He was careful in not completely overexposing himself, though it does seem like he was everywhere," Caulfield says. "Instead of doing all the morning shows and late-night shows, he partnered with a handful that he could get the most benefit from. He chose key promotional vehicles: Jimmy Fallon, Target, iHeartRadio, iTunes and Saturday Night Live."
Promoting an album is tiring work, especially if you're Justin Timberlake. Host Carly Mallenbaum is joined by Arienne Thompson to talk about the superstar's recent media blitz. USA TODAY, USA Entertainment Now, Kaveh Rezaei,
Such massive sales stampedes have become extremely rare, but with 20/20's whopper and back-to-back million-plus openers for Swift, "there has to be hope that other artists can rack up these kind of superstar sales," Caulfield says. "You have to have across-the-board saturation visibility, where you're a pop culture phenomenon that people of all ages like. An obvious possibility is Adele."
Top pop and rap stars have countered music business assumptions about big-selling albums, says David Bakula, senior vice president of analytics at Nielsen Entertainment.
"We saw great debuts by Mumford & Sons and Taylor Swift last year, and Lil Wayne, Lady Gaga and Kanye West have done very well," he says.
Piracy and the shift to digital singles did slow album sales, he says. In 2000, five albums sold more than 1 million copies in their first week. After 50 Cent's Massacre opened with 1.1 million in 2005, no title cracked the platinum mark until Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III in 2008.
"People said we wouldn't see those massive numbers again, but they've been proven wrong," Bakula says. "Consumers love certain types of artists, and they want as much engagement as they can get, and they want it immediately. They're saying, 'I love Justin Timberlake. Give me everything you've got.'
"Justin continues to break new ground, collaborate with new artists, broaden his appeal," he adds, noting that recent sales spikes for earlier solo albums suggest a growing fan base.
"Even though he left music for a while, he was very visible on TV, movies and socially. This isn't a case of coming back after six years and people going, 'Justin who?' When some artists go away, people say, 'You have to win me over again.' Timberlake has proven since 'N Sync that these are very loyal consumers. He's always going to have great numbers."

Nissan CEO Admits Company Won't Hit Leaf Sales Mark of 20,000 for 2012

Nissan Leaf
So far, Nissan has only sold 6,791 Leafs for the year
Nissan has been shooting for 20,000 total sales of its all-electric Leaf in 2012, but the automaker has finally admitted that it just
won't be able to reach that number
Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn reported yesterday that the company will not reach its goal of 20,000 Leafs sold in all of 2012. Nissan was pretty confident throughout the year despite declining sales, and refused to give up the notion that it could double last year's sales until now.
"The forecast we have given ourselves for the year will not be reached," said Ghosn.
For all of 2011, Nissan sold 9,679 Leafs. After nearly achieving 10,000 sales, it declared a new sales goal of 20,000 in 2012 -- doubling the previous year's.
While Nissan had its best sales month in October 2012 with 1,579 sold, the overall year was pretty disappointing. So far, Nissan has only sold 6,791 for the year, making it impossible to even reach last year's 10,000 mark let alone doubling that.
Nissan has even tried to
lure customers in this year with price cuts
It took $3,250 off the price tag of each 2012 Leaf model starting in August. This is a considerable jump from the $850 discounts it was giving back in January. The 2012 Leaf starts at $36,050.
In addition, Nissan reduced lease costs of the 2012 Leaf from $249 per month to $219 per month with $2,999 down for 32 months.
Despite this failure to meet the mark, Nissan isn't giving up. In a video last month, Nissan said it now aims to sell 1.5 million EVs cumulatively by 2016.
While the Leaf seems to be withering in terms of sales, its competitor, the
Chevrolet Volt
, is doing quite well. In the first seven months of 2012 alone, the Volt was already at 10,666 sales. According to
Plugin Cars
, the 2012 year-to-date sales for the Volt is at 19,309 units -- nearly hitting Nissan's goal of 20,000 for the year.
General Motors (GM) recently said it plans to start
building 500,000 cars with electrification technologies annually by 2017
. It also developed a new way to use Volt batteries (which have been retired from the road) to power homes during blackouts.
GM partnered with automation and power technologies company ABB Group as well as Duke Energy to find useful applications for EV batteries after they've been exhausted in vehicles.
The end result was a unit that contains five
Volt lithium-ion battery packs
that can provide two hours of electricity to three to five U.S. homes during a blackout. According to GM, the unit can provide 25 kilowatt hours of power and 50 kilowatt hours of energy.
The Detroit News
"Paying an extra $500 for a computer in this environment -- same piece of hardware -- paying $500 more to get a logo on it? I think that's a more challenging proposition for the average person than it used to be." -- Steve Ballmer

Nation Radio - June 9, 2012

Might the Oilers pass on Yakupov and Grigorenko to select defenseman Ryan Murray?
Before you know it, it'll be draft day and hockey fans across the country are wondering: who will the Oilers select with the first overall pick? Will Lowe, Tambellini and company select speedy winger Nail Yakupov or highly touted centre Mikhail Grigorenko (whose stock seems to be taking a hit of late)? Or, might the Oilers reach and take a guy like Ryan Murray who may not have Yakupov's pedigree, but would address an area of need for the club?
Allan has plenty of draft talk on the docket this week. He's joined by former GM and player agent Tom Lynn and prospect experts Corey Pronman, Michael Spidel and Kirk Luedeke. Cam Charron stops by to talk a bit about the Calder Cup Finals, and Jeff Krushell joins Allan as well to talk athletic performance and player injuries.
This is Nation Radio.
Up first is Tom Lynn, a player agent with Veritas who has years of experience working in the Minnesota Wild front-office. Tom drops some serious wisdom on upcoming CBA negotiations between the league and the players association, gives us his unique perspective on the mechanics of free agency, and throws in some amusing draft day anecdotes for good measure.
Next up Lowetide is joined by Corey Pronman of hockey prospectus. Allan and Corey discuss Edmonton's "list of 5," and Corey talks about why he's higher on Mikhail Grigorenko than many other scouts in the industry.
Kirk Luedeke of Red Line Report joins Allan for more prospects talk. Luedeke breaks down how the rash injuries to top prospects will impact this years selections, and sheds some light on a handful of top prospects from Girgensons to to Vasilevski.
Cam Charron, the new overlord of TheLeafsNation.com drops in to chat draft day trades, flukey over-time goals in the Calder Cup Finals, and his new gig.
Michael Spidel of Hockey Symposium drops by and savages the notion of taking defensemen with top draft picks.
Allan and Michael also discuss whether or not Justin Schultz, the highly coveted defenseman out of Wisconsin who seems to be bound for free-agency this summer, might ultimately be draft eligible on June 22nd.
To finish off the show, Allan is joined by Jeff Krushell. Jeff breaks down the impact of injuries on draft eligible players, and talks about how even a common ailment like Mono can derail a prospect's development.
Here's the full show!
Finally, we'd like to remind prospective sponsors and advertisers that we still have some limited ad spots available here at Nation Radio. For more info, contact Kent Wilson @ email@example.com.
Yeah! It's up! Thanks to Connor and ON staff for getting this up at all! Al Gore is going to get a stare from me like you won't believe!

No no no... your supposed to say FIST! ;)
Passing on Yakupov would be a HUGE mistake, Murray will be good, Yakupov great..theres no evidence to suggest that Murray will be an elite defender, theres evidence to suggest Yakupov will be better than RNH and Hall

Wow, look at Horcoff's usage chart!
Open this link and scroll down to page 25. They tell you how to read the chart on page 3 I believe.
I can't begin to imagine how shitaneously worse this team would be without that guy. Yes, worse.

While Adam may have caught the most recent mutation of the nerd flu (this time with added sinus infection), he spent some quality time at home with his television. One of the highlights of this period of sickness was Resistance 3. After years of working on the PS3, Insomniac seems to have refined their controls to the point where the awkwardness of the Dualshock 3 seems to have disappeared. Not only that, but the game is tons of fun, full of amazing weapons, has incredible art, and features a dark and mature story line. In other words, The Sess enjoyed it. Let him tell you for himself in this week's Soapbox.

How Do You Solve A Problem Like Cogliano?
Jonathan Willis
August 02 2009 06:00AM
Andrew Cogliano is an excellent young hockey player with a bright NHL future ahead of him. What that future holds is still uncertain – can he fit in Edmonton long-term? If so, where?
It needs to be said that Cogliano is a tremendous talent, and has done a lot to grab attention at a very young age. Drafted 25th overall by the Oilers in 2005, he ranks fourth in his draft class in points – behind only Sidney Crosby, Anze Kopitar, and Paul Stastny. In that respect, he represents a very real and tangible win for an Oilers' scouting staff that has often been blamed for the team's failings. They gambled on the small, speedy offensive forward playing in a lower level league (OPJHL) and to date it's paid off richly.
He's an incredibly fast skater; quite possibly the best on a team that has some good ones. Despite Sportsnet's rather stupid scouting report ("Is more of a playmaker than scorer and needs to work on his shot") he has an excellent shot that he uses judiciously; he's had very good shooting percentages two years running and has scored 18 goals in each of his NHL seasons.
He's still a young player, so his defensive game (which does have promise) isn't where it should be yet and he's just coming into the years where he'll be a real positive difference maker for his NHL team. There are a few things working against Edmonton being that team though, starting with his inclusion in a package that would have brought Dany Heatley to the Oilers.
Do The Oilers Want To Trade Cogliano?
The short answer is simple: "No". There's been some talk since Cogliano's name was first leaked that it may be difficult to mend fences with him if the Dany Heatley deal doesn't take place. I don't see it that way at all.
Frankly, despite Cogliano's excellent upside, it's pretty unlikely that he's ever going to score 50 goals. This is a simple case of the Oilers being interested in one of the best goal-scoring wingers in the NHL, and having to give up something valuable for him. Certainly Cogliano should be smart enough to realize that the abortive trade shows how much value he has around the league, rather than viewing it as the Oilers giving up on him.
Where Does Cogliano Fit On The Roster?
Despite Cogliano's obvious value, I do wonder if he's a fit at centre in the short- to long-term.
The first problem is his inability in the faceoff circle. Last season, Cogliano went 37.2% on faceoffs – the worst season by any frequently used centre since 2000. Personally, I don't view this as an insurmountable obstacle – the Oilers already have at least two wingers (Dustin Penner and Marc Pouliot) who can win draws and then switch back over to the wing after the faceoff.
The real problem is that the depth chart at centre is clogged right now. Sam Gagner is quite clearly the future of the franchise up the middle; a phenomenal talent who has two NHL seasons under his belt despite being under the age of 20. Aside from Gagner, veteran centre Shawn Horcoff is signed for the next six years, and even if he weren't giving both top-six centre spots to a pair of players as young (and still undeveloped) as Gagner and Cogliano is not a recipe for success.
That leaves the third line spot, a role that doesn't seem a fit for Cogliano's skill-set; he's too good offensively and not good enough defensively to fit there right now. He'll certainly need more minutes in the next few years than that position would allow him.
The obvious, and possibly inevitable, answer is to convert Cogliano to left wing. Unfortunately, Jason Gregor has repeatedly stated that Cogliano is uncomfortable in that position, and in addition the depth chart is pretty crowded there already (Penner, O'Sullivan, Moreau). Still, I think that Cogliano may need to get used to the idea, and room can be made either via trade or by moving Penner over to RW - perhaps creating a top-six something like this:
- Cogliano/O'Sullivan – Horcoff – Hemsky
- O'Sullivan/Cogliano – Gagner – Penner
The other alternative in the Oilers' unending (since the Smyth trade) search for a top-line LW is to dangle Cogliano as trade-bait for a legitimate game-breaker; something the Oilers have already done once.
I swear I saw a guy that looked EXACTLY like Erik Cole jogging right by the UofA about an hour ago.
All I have to say is that despite him having a good past 2 seasons, I'm still not high on him and would like to see him get traded, not because I don't like his game but rather that I think he could fetch Edmonton something more useful for the team in the bigger, longer term scheme of things.

Why not go with Nilsson over Cheechoo? They both had 29 points last year and Nilsson makes 1 million less. Now get a time machine and trade for Cheechoo from 2005-06 and its a deal. Too bad he's literally 1/3 as productive as he was in that season these days.
Because Nilsson brings nothing to the oilers that they dont already have. Cheechoo brings a passion that the oilers havnt seen since Smyth left. He gets mad, he gets physical and he has the ability to put up bunches of points when he is the only one going to net.
I'm not going to pretend he is going to pot 30 goals every year but he plays in the corners which is more than can be said for Nilsson or Penner. I dont mind Penner and think he will do well now that we have new coaches. The Oil do not have a guy that can stand in front of the net and then go into the corner and dig out pucks.
@ Lofty: Agreed. What would be to lose in having Cheechoo on the Oilers. Grit is what the Oilers are lacking and he could fill that void. I assume his work ethic is better than Nilsson's.

With his 68 pts in 135 games over last 2 years?
Sorry been away...
But damn right, have you seen how he plays? You need to have a diverse team with speed, skill, grit. The oilers have nobody that plays like Cheechoo. They do have a lot of players that play like Bobert Nilsson.
@ gdawg:
I'm not going to pretend he is the best thing since sliced bread but I think he knows he needs to earn his dollars. From all the SJ games I watched last year I would love Cheechoo and Setoguchi to be a part of any all-star team. Setohuchi is an Oiler killer, I dont how many points he put up against them but he made his mark.
The one consensus I see is that this Oilers roster definitely needs to be tweaked at the very least. It will be an uphill battle to lure guys here but Im sure eventually this curse will be over.

With the Sharks needing to open up some cap space to complete their roster, what would everyone think of dealing Cogs for Michalek?
@ Ogden Brother: I'd like to throw something else in there to help us out with the cap.
I've thought about him too and maybe we turn out to be that third team in the 3-way trade.

You are right, except for the fact that there are plenty of guys out there who do exactly what Cheechoo has done the past two years for far far less money.

Is Zherdev a LW and if so, what would you guys think of bringing him in for 1 year just to see how he does?

With the Sharks needing to open up some cap space to complete their roster, what would everyone think of dealing Cogs for Michalek?
Four thumbs down. I would only be willing to trade Cogs in a package to get a superstar player - like the Heatley deal. Trading him for someone like Michalek is something we would really, really come to regret.
August 04 2009, 12:22PM
Why Cogs for the LW... I thought I remember seeing somewhere that although he is uncomfortable on the LW, he can play the RW...?
Make Gags the centre and... there we go?!..
August 04 2009, 05:54PM
@ Lofty: So you would add a 3 million dollar player who cant stay healthy or score because he has passion? He isnt going to help any team win, nevermind the Oilers.
Tambo has a Plan B. its for next season. wait till some contracts are up and dump a truck load of money into a old fellow by the name of Jagr. He even said he'd give E-town a shot because they showed interest in him... by then he'll deny us and we'll all hate him, but we won't worry about that till next year. By the way, if this truly is plan B We're screwed....or even screwederer(no reason why that can't be a real word) than now :)

Quench Your Thirst
I can't believe I've forgotten to share this for so long! It's been almost a month now since I stopped by one of my favorite places at The North Market, in downtown Columbus. I stopped by Bubbles Tea & Juice Company for the first time in quite a while and was pleasantly surprised to find that they have boat loads of Anchorware on display!
*Image Courtesy of CR
I was really at The North Market to pick up fresh flowers, but Bubbles Tea & Juice Company's tasty samples lured me in. In case you're wondering I wound up buying a delicious mango smoothie concoction.
The thing I love most about this place is the way they seal your cup. They use a special sealing process and provide a straw with a pointed end. You stab the plastic lid and you're on your way. This is perfect for The North Market shopper who is in a hurry or has their hands full.
*Image Courtesy of CR
Bubble Tea & Juice stores their ingredients in our Stackable Storage Jars with metal lids. They put a little placard on the front of each for contents description. They keep their look consistant and organized and have a fantastic BPA free sealing lid!
So if you're ever in Columbus, Ohio, make sure Bubbles Tea & Juice is one of your stops while exploring the downtown scene!

Consumers use its 'Find n Save' service to access online ads and offers.
Thad Rueter
Wanderful Media, which enables newspapers to create digital circulars designed to drive shoppers into stores, said this week it raised $5 million in a new funding round. In total, the company, which was founded in 2011, has raised $27 million.
The new capital, raised in late 2012, comes from such existing investors as Advance Digital, Hearst Corp., GateHouse Media and The McClatchy Co., says a Wanderful spokesman. Wanderful Media says it works with some 300 newspapers, and hopes to have 600 by the end of 2013.
The company operates a technology called "Find n Save." A Find n Save button on the sites of client newspapers—for instance, in the bottom right corner of WashingtonPost.com—sends consumers to the digital circulars, which have offers and advertising from local merchants. Consumers also can search for products and deals via a site search box on the digital circular page. Except for daily deal-like offers—for Washington Post readers today, $75 for paragliding flights in northern Virginia—consumers cannot buy directly from the digital circulars; the spokesman says the technology is designed to encourage shoppers to visit stores.
"For Wanderful Media, 2012 will be defined as a year of building, and the theme for this year will be delivering," says CEO Ben T. Smith. "We've been moving quickly since the company launch and are well on our way to hitting many important goals in Q1."

Emery County students began the 2010-11 school year on Aug. 24. There are five new teachers in the district including: Haylie Horton-Cleveland Elementary-1/2 day kindergarten; Carli O'Neil-Castle Dale-second grade; Ky Horrocks-San Rafael-social studies; Kerry Goldman-Green River-language arts; Angela Barton-Ferron Elementary-1/2 day kindergarten.
The Emery County School District met in their final meeting before school began on Aug. 11. Supt. Kirk Sitterud gave the board members the coaches list for the year and it was approved.
The notice of asbestos containing material was published in the paper by the school board. This is part of a plan by the school district which outlines what will be done in the coming year for asbestos abatement.
Supt. Sitterud sent a copy of the new three year calendar for the school board members to review. It follows the same format as other years and he would like it approved earlier this year preferably September or October. Supt. Sitterud informed the board that Utah was not selected in Race to the Top funding from the federal government. Congress has passed a bill to help retain jobs in education, but the superintendent said he doesn't have any more information than that, if funds will become available and how it will be distributed. If Emery County does see any of this money it will be used to offset the funds expended for growth in the elementary schools and will be used to cover the new hires.
A question of whether Huntington Elementary third grade will need another teacher was discussed. Right now 59 students are registered. Four of those are in the self-contained unit. The school year will begin with two classes and if a change is needed it will be implemented after the year begins.
Business administrator, Jared Black said the health insurance meetings went well and the attendance was good.
The opening institute was held on Aug. 23 and the topic was No Teacher Left Behind. The speaker expounded on the differences in the generations and how those differences should be addressed in a teaching environment. He taught the teachers how to work with the younger generation in a more efficient manner. The opening institute lasted until noon and a benefits fair with providers and information and lunch took place at the recreation building in Castle Dale.
Four new teachers have been added, one will replace a retiring teacher; 2.5 elementary positions have been added with a teacher at Castle Dale and Cleveland. At the secondary level teachers have been hired as replacements for teachers at San Rafael and Green River High. Some teachers have been moved around.
School board member Nanette Tanner joined the school board meeting, via skype from the Dominican Republic. Other board members present included: Royd Hatt, Laurel Johansen and Sam Singleton.
Projections and expected enrollment in the Emery School district is 2,228 students. There are 325 employees for the school district. Schools include: Emery High, Green River High, Bookcliff Elementary, Ferron Elementary, Cleveland Elementary, Cottonwood Elementary, Huntington Elementary and two junior highs including San Rafael and Canyon View.
In neighboring Carbon County they expect to begin the school year with 3,507 students. Their schools will open on Aug. 30 this year. They have 600 employees including all staff, custodial and technology workers. Their schools include, Sunnyside Elementary, Bruin Point Wellington, Sally Mauro, Creek View, Castle Heights, Helper Junior High, Mont Harmon Junior High, the Castle Valley Center, Carbon High, and the Lighthouse Alternative Learning Center.

Reaaly enjoyed watching this when it aired on TV. Will watch this DVD many times, the only downside is that the 6th episode isn't even a special feature.

Comments about this product:
I have to admit, I didn't know a lot about craft beer before watching this show. I knew I liked beer, but really didn't go out of my way to find anything new. Each episode of Brew Masters follows Sam Calagione as he creates off-centered ales for off-centered people. As each episode aired, I went to the store the next day and bought the beer that was featured. After a few episodes, I was hooked! Dogfish Head is one of the best craft beers out there and you get to choose from about 35 different beers a year.

On Jan. 28 there were several accidents in Emery County. At milepost 6 there was a car off the road and a pick-up had run upon the trunk of the car. The accident was listed as weather related. Along SR-10 between I-70 and Emery and between Emery and Ferron, there were semi-trucks slid off the road. Many of the travelers along this stretch of road just stopped until visibility cleared. Wreckers along with the state road department helped get the trucks back on the road again.
Several coal haul trucks just parked in the road until conditions became more favorable to travel. It wasn't snowing, but the winds were very strong and blew snow across the road in several locations and the blowing snow caused white out conditions for motorists.
At milepost 28 just north of Ferron by the storage sheds there were two vehicles off the embankment.
Another wreck occurred on Wednesday near Castle Dale with injuries reported in that accident.
Emery County Sheriff LaMar Guymon urges motorists to slow down during the winter storms or just stay off the roads if possible. Use flashers when traveling at a slow rate of speed and in low visibility situations.

"Everything we do has an impact on the environment, so developing chemicals and materials that don't produce negative discharge is definitely worth it," said Clem Von Holstein, a sales employee at Patagonia.
With the rise of environmental groups and green awareness, many clothing companies have adopted the idea of producing clothing made of organic materials.
However, along with these fibers and materials come higher prices. But is it worth it?
Many people believe that the price is worth the cause while others tend to think that it is too expensive.
Patagonia is one store that believes that going green with their fashion, in the name of saving the environment, is worth the higher prices.
Yvon Chouinard, an environmentalist, started Patagonia. He specialized in outdoor clothing and gear with the use of organic material and recycled fibers.
At first glance you would think you were walking into a mountain climbing store. Behind the counter hangs a huge picture of the Patagonian Mountains, located in Argentina. Coats and jackets cover the walls and serve as decorations for the reddish bricks. Fleece sweaters and vests of all sizes from kids to women to men cover the racks of the store alongside flannels of all colors. One can tell that this store is different from others just by the feeling of the material between your fingertips.
Von Holstein said, "Working at Patagonia is one of the best things that have happened to me."
He is also an environmentalist, so he strongly believes that stores like this are essential in helping to protect the planet.
The way organic clothing is produced does not contribute to the depletion of natural resources. Stores like Patagonia use resources such as cotton and wool to make their products. The quality of the clothing tends to be more appealing because the material is richer in color. It also feels softer to the hands.
American Apparel is also a supporter of green fashion. With their oversized hats, infinity scarves, lace dresses, high-waist leggings and pants, and grandpa sweater, the stores brings you back to the 80s. The colors of the clothing play as highlighters, which illuminate the store with loads of vintage charisma. The majority of their cotton t-shirts, sweaters, and dresses are made of organic fibers and cotton, which is used for its sustainability.
Rachel Masters, an employee at American Apparel said, "It is always better to use less and although it is more expensive to produce organic clothing right now, it will pay off in the future and will help the environment."
She is all for her store carrying organic t-shirts and sweaters. Many people may step into American Apparel and may only focus on the bright colored scarves, body suits, leg warmers and t-shirts without being aware that most of the apparel is made of organic cotton. After all with their 80s vibe, the green thought doesn't automatically pop into your head. This goes to show how clothing can still be fashionable and trendy with a good cause behind it.
Eric Kunevera, an employee at American Apparel, believes that since the clothing is made "right," meaning organic, one does not have to feel guilty about wearing organic clothing. Kunevera believes that organic clothing gives customers choices and a variety in clothing. "Carrying organic clothing in our stores allows customers to choose between regular clothing and organic," said Kunevera. "We even have customers who specifically ask for organic tees and if we do not have them, they do not buy."
While there are many who are for fashion going green, some do not understand or see the impact that it has on the environment. Collin Powers, a shopper at American Apparel said, "I think organic clothing is good but I do not know what impact it has on the environment."
Although he shops at American Apparel, he doesn't do it for the organic aspect of it. He simply likes the clothing.
Not everyone will understand how such a small article of clothing can contribute to sustaining the environment.
Seanella Abraham, a student at New York University and frequent shopper has no hopes in the fashion going green process. Although she shops on a weekly basis, according to her, she does not keep an eye out for organic clothing. Like Powers, she also does not see how this helps the environment.
"I do not think organic clothing helps the environment and it doesn't really matter if fashion goes green," said Abraham. "There are millions of other things that are affecting the environment so buying expensive clothing because it is eco-friendly it is not going to make a difference on the environment."
It is clear that this student has better things to worry about besides the environment.
Emari Parsons, a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology, and also a savvy shopper said, "Going green just makes everything expensive and people will buy things that are not organic because it is cheaper. Only people who are environment friendly will contribute to the whole organic fashion stuff."
Organic clothing is pricier than regular clothing so many are discouraged to buy it.
Again, is it worth it for fashion to go green? Environmentalists and people who have the money to purchase organic and eco-friendly clothing will support the cause while others who do not have the money won't.
"There's no point in organic clothing or fashion, it's just a waste of money," said Parsons.

The engrossing, often scandalous saga of one of the wealthiest, longest-lasting, and most colorful family dynasties in the history of American commerce - a cautionary tale about prosperity, profligacy, hubris, and the blessings and dark consequences of success.
From countless bar signs, stadium scoreboards, magazine ads, TV commercials, and roadside billboards, the name Budweiser has been burned into the American consciousness as the "King of Beers". Over a span of more than a century, the company behind it, Anheuser-Busch, has attained legendary status. A jewel of the American Industrial Revolution, in the hands of its founders - the sometimes reckless and always boisterous Busch family of St. Louis, Missouri - it grew into one of the most fearsome marketing machines in modern times. In Bitter Brew, critically acclaimed journalist Knoedelseder paints a fascinating portrait of immense wealth and power accompanied by a barrelful of scandal, heartbreak, tragedy, and untimely death.
This engrossing, vivid narrative captures the Busch saga through five generations. At the same time, it weaves a broader story of American progress and decline over the past 150 years. It's a cautionary tale of prosperity, hubris, and loss.

Just me
"Couldn't stop listening..."
This is a great story detailing the blood sweat and tears associated with building and ultimately losing one of America iconic companies / brands. I have lived in St. Louis for nearly 4 years now and this story has given me an entirely new perspective on the big brewery and the family that built it. I would reccomend this book to almost anyone who has an interest in history, business or even general drama.
World Explorer
"Pass the Beer and Ammunition"
I have not read the print version of Bitter Brew but there is a great PDF attached to the download for pics and charts.
The Forth is my favorite as he is leaving an incredible path of death and destruction in his wake.
No, but I do plan to listen to his other books in the future.
It was broken into 3 parts, and I finished it in less than a week as I found it very interesting. I think they should make it into a TV mini series.
I live in St. Louis so the book is a must read for people living in the Lou, but people from other places will enjoy the book if they have ever drank a beer or wondered what rich people do when they have no morals or common sense.
"Detailed history of A-B"
I enjoyed the book, though the beginning was a little slow. Like a biography, the book started at the beginning with establishing the family. It was a necessary inclusion for this particular family that was so intertwined with the corporation, but it was still a little slow starting off. The rest was great.
"Every St. Louisian should read"
One of the best told stories of St. Louis history. This is a book every person in St. Louis should read. So full of a colorful history of one of our city's icon company's rise and fall.
Peter Berkrot reads the story as though he was there and experienced every event and episode. He has a great voice, easy to listen to for long periods of time. I could not put it down (turn it off).
"Fascinating Story Well Told"
I'm more of a wino than a beer drinker, but this is a really interesting story. It's extremely well written and well narrated. I would highly recommend this audio book to anyone interested in the history of American business. Informative and entertaining at the same time.
I love books, but I particularly love audio books. What a luxury to have someone like Campbell Scott read you to sleep.
"Don't Have to Care About Beer to Enjoy this Story"
This history of Anheuser-Busch is fascinating, the wealth, the power and the disfunction. A very well-written, page turning history lesson. One character is more fascinating than the next. I am waiting for someone to do a cable series on this family.
Most of the characters were flawed and that made the story more compelling.
Peter Berkrot is an excellent narrator. Doesn't get in the way of the story, no over-acting.
"Great story! Hard to believe it is true."
Really enjoyed this book! Narrator executes well but feel he may have been a bad choice for purely tonal reasons.
"Intriguing and informative"
This offered insight into the American beer industry on a grand scale - from the founding of AB, to the turmoil of prohibition, and beyond. Wrought with family drama and interesting cultural history, this is still a worthwhile read even for those who are not involved with the brewing industry.
"Great true story."
I loved it. Great true story. I have been to Grant's Farm and the StLouis brewery and have been a AB drinker my whole adult life. But I think will be switching to Kraftig after listening to this.
"Fantastic Book, Amazing Story and a Broken Heart"
It was a fascinating look into the lives of the Busch family. Amazing story.

Amazement - All the money in the world won't buy you happiness.
This is a must listen book. If you are from St. Louis or in the business world, you have to listen to this story. It was very well done, listens very easily and will shock you with all its ups and downs.
