Breaking News: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is sick and will not play tonight...Rishaug just reported from the rink. So Oilers will have to dress two non-centres tonight. Ouch.
After a gutsy third period got them a win over Nashville on Sunday, the Oilers need to attack the struggling San Jose Sharks early tonight and get them on their heels. The Sharks have been one of the worst teams in the league since February 1st.
The Sharks are a woeful 5-10-6 after starting the season with seven straight wins. The Sharks outscored their opponents 27-12 in their first 7 games, but they've been outscored 59-36 in their last 21.
They Sharks are struggling and if the Oilers want to stay in the playoff hunt tonight is a game they need to win.
The Sharks don't have any offensive depth. Joe Thornton (27), Patrick Marleau (23), Logan Couture (21) and Joe Pavelski (17) are the only forwards with more than ten points.
The Oilers have way more scoring depth. Sam Gagner (27), Taylor Hall (26), Jordan Eberle (20), Ales Hemsky (17), Nail Yakupov (14) and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (11) are in double-digits, while Magnus Paajarvi has 6 points in his last 8 games.
The Sharks are ahead of the Oilers in the standings, but right now they are not playing like a superior team.
The only change might be Hartikainen coming in for Jones, but after listening to Ralph Krueger yesterday I think he'll stick with Jones. Jones couldn't do any activity for the entire month of January, due to his eye injury, and that hurt his conditioning. Krueger feels Jones is getting better every day and feels the extra time between games has allowed him to improve his cardio. It sounds like he wants to give him a few more games and see if the improved conditioning will help Jones.
The Oilers are in the midst of their first playoff run in four years and yesterday Jonathan Willis and David Staples suggested it would be wise to trade Ryan Whitney. Let's look at this a little closer.
There is no doubt Whitney struggled early this season, but lately he has played better, especially offensively. After the nine-game road trip, where Whitney scored three goals, he admitted that despite his offence coming around he still needed to work on his gaps and his overall defensive game. No one is arguing he can't improve there.
He'll never be considered a great defensive D-man, however, he does excel on the powerplay and that is why trading Whitney at this point of the season would be a step backwards.
- 37% of the Oilers goals have come on the powerplay. They rely on their PP more than any other team in the NHL, and Whitney is the best PP D-man they have. The Oilers have no adequate replacement on the roster, and considering they rely that much on the PP to score, I don't see why you would risk trading away your best PP D-man while you are at the start of a playoff run.
- Staples ad Willis suggested Corey Potter could fill in. The same Potter who has 0 points this year. First off he shoots right, and the Oilers 2nd PP unit is set up so a left shooting D-man quarterbacks the powerplay. So, outside of replacing Whitney with an inferior PP player, you are now going to adjust their system, even though the Oilers PP has been very effective at 22.9%. I say, pardon.
- Staples suggested Potter was great on the PP early last season, but then he lost PP time to Whitney. Let's look at that.
|Corey Potter
|Ryan Whitney
|Jeff Petry
|Cam Barker
- In fact, Potter averaged more PPTOI/G and he had 38:36 more PP time all season. Potter finished with 11 PPP, while Whitney had 10. Potter had six of his PPP in the first 9 games of the season, and then produced only 5 in the remaining 57. He had a great start to the season, but I don't think we should use a good nine-game stretch as the basis that Potter is an above-average PP player.
- In the 21 games Whitney has played this season the PP is 21 for 78, 26.9%. Whitney has been on the ice for ten of those goals and has five points. In the 7 games he sat, the PP was 4 for 31 at 12.9%.
- In the six games Potter played while Whitney sat, Potter played 11:48 on the PP scoring no points and he was on for one PP goal. He averaged 1:58 of PP time in those games, while Whitney plays 2:38.
- It is clear that Whitney has a much bigger impact on the PP than Potter.
- Whitney is even better than Justin Schultz when you look at PP time=production. Whitney has played 55 minutes of PP TOI and he's been on the ice for 10 PP goals. Schultz has 155 minutes of PP TOI and he's been on for 15 goals. Schultz is a rookie and he's already a very good PP player, and I expect he'll be even better in the future, but right now Whitney is still more productive.
- Unless you believe the Oilers are suddenly going to become a productive ES team, I see no reason why you trade Whitney. The organization wants their young players to experience "playoff-like" games, and if they want that to happen they should keep Whitney because he helps the PP. And right now the Oilers can't win without a successful powerplay.
- The other suggestion was that you could replace Whitney with Jeff Petry. Petry is already playing 22 minutes a night, and he isn't dominating. Adding more minutes and giving him less rest won't make him play better, nor will it make the PP more effective.
- Trading him for a draft pick is pointless, absolutely pointless, at this juncture of the season. The Oilers need to play meaningful games, and stay competitive now, rather than add another 2nd round pick that might, slim chance, help them in four years.
- It is clear Whitney is very good on the PP, and considering how much production they need from their PP to win games, it makes little sense to move Whitney him. The Oilers do not have an adequate replacement. If the Oilers are out of it after the next seven games, then for sure you look at moving him, but if they are in the mix I wouldn't move him for a draft pick.
- Last night Daniel Alfredsson become only the 57th player in NHL history to record 1,100 career regular season points. He is also one of the rare players who had his best offensive season between the age of 30-35. He had 78 points at 30 years of age, 80 at 31, lockout at 32, 103 at 33, 87 at 34 and 89 points as a 35-year-old. Impressive.
- He's likely to become only the 11th player with 1,100+ points to play for only one team/organization for his entire career. Can you name the other ten? *Answer below.
- The Columbus Blue Jackets are 7-0-4 in their last 11 games and are now tied for 8th place. They only way they keep winning is if Sergei Bobrovsky keeps standing on his head. The Jackets were outshot in 9 of the 11 games, by a margin of 297 to 362. They are giving up 33 shots against in this unbeaten streak. They also played 9 of those games at home and a whopping nine of them went to OT. They were 3-2 in SO and 2-2 in OT. It is great for fans in Columbus to have their team in the hunt, but they will need to tighten up defensively to stay competitive. Bobrovsky has a .966 SV% in their last nine games. Incredible.
- The Oilers had almost a perfect last few days, and they didn't even play. There were no 3-point games involving teams in the playoff hunt, and the Sharks, Predators, Flames, and Coyotes (twice) all lost. Now it is up to the Oilers to win.
- Carey Price is getting a lot of hype for the Vezina, and deservedly so, but Tukka Rask has been stellar with for the Bruins with a 1.92 GAA and 0.928 SV%. If Bobrovsky continues his stellar play he'd have to be considered.
GAME DAY PREDICTION: The Oilers score three minutes in, and skate away with a 4-2 win led by two goals from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.
OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: Devan Dubnyk is much better in the first frame tonight than he was when the Sharks lit him up for six goals in 20 minutes in the home opener. (Easiest prediction ever.)
NOT-SO-OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: With only one goal in his last 20 games, Nail Yakupov is the second one on the ice for warm up. As he is circling the ice he stops at the top of the right faceoff circle and motions to Paajarvi to come over. Paajarvi stops and after a brief moment, he smiles and laughs. Yakupov looks at him seriously and then Paajarvi mouths something to him. Yakupov smiles and says something back, then he skates away. Paajarvi looks a bit perplexed, but then continues his warm up.
Yakupov scores a PP goal in the 2nd period, and after the game he explains the what happened during warm up. It turns out Russian are very superstitious. Yakupov asked Paajarvi to say, "ни пуха ни пера!" which roughly translates to "neither fur, nor feather!" which means good luck. Then Yakupov replied, "К чёрту!" which means, "To the Devil," which is a way of securing good luck. Yakupov explains Russians do this before important tests, and since he tonight was considered a "good test" for the Oilers he thought he'd try it.
** Daniel Alfredsson is now the 11th player in NHL history to play for only one team/organization and score 1,100 points.

I saw Timid Tambellini on TSN at the General Managers meetings in Toronto today. Do you think he may have said anything to anyone? Do you think the other GM's asked him where Loser Lowe was? Was Timid Tambellini just a wallflower? Did any other GM know he was there? Did they say...who are you and how did you get into the room?
March 20 2013, 10:04PM
I'm with you. If Whitney would net a 2nd round pick I'd make that deal.
Partially because I think that the Oilers need to restock their prospect cupboard. Pitlick and Hamilton are nearing their best-before date, Rieder, Bigos, Musil and Gernat are all needing contracts. This is the best time to stock up and let those picks mature gradually.
There is also the outside chance that they could trade two or three 2nd round picks for a late 1st.

Busy trying to figure out how to work the remote.
March 20 2013, 10:06PM
How come all the people who sit behind the Oiler bench in Edmonton aren't all that good looking? When I watch games from the Americas, they usually put some pretty good looking girls in those seats. Why does Krueger have to be the best looking thing I see when they show the bench during home broadcasts?
March 20 2013, 10:06PM
Out of curiosity, what is your perception of things in Calgary right now?
March 20 2013, 10:07PM
Don't be ridiculous. You know he hired Howson for that, right? (the remote)

There is nobody in the organization who has the skill, the ability or the authority to do any of these things like trades, signings or anything to improve this team. I'm afraid this management team will do something stupid last minute and trade Gagner who really has been our best player for something like a fifth round pick.
March 20 2013, 10:10PM
Are you sure you aren't thinking of the Islanders?
March 20 2013, 10:11PM
Jones to the net and Ebbs following up, come on already, Joesy needs to pave the way not Eberle. We need to start dumping it HIGH and looping over their d-mens heads because they are cheating up high, we just need to loop it high and to the middle and then race them to it, not dee to the boards though just wayyy high and over their heads, it works well on as a counter them when they are pressureing offensively.
Atta boy Jonesy!
March 20 2013, 10:13PM
Jonesy that was freaky, I posted that probably three or four seconds before you scored that goal, freaky man.

Quick, write something about Paajarvi. ;-)
Keep your foot on the throat boys!
How about that Whitney kid...a real keeper. He's not a step behind more like a day. Other than Gregor and his man crush for this guy it will be no lose to move him down the road.
March 20 2013, 10:18PM
Someone tell Whitney to shut the hell up and stop yapping off at the refs, we have a lot of game to go and they are looking for a reason to even out the numbers on us, so clam it up sunshine and lets try to close this game out with some momentum and offense, simple plays with steady offensive pressure, safe simple plays to the end.
March 20 2013, 10:19PM
What ya wanna bet we blow this now??
March 20 2013, 10:20PM
So...can we trade Whitney now?
Oh come on man that was clearly a dive! he barely touched him.
March 20 2013, 10:22PM
Are you sure you aren't thinking of the Islanders?
Nope. Timid Tambellini has the skill level to pull that trade off..if he gets permission from Loser Lowe, who might have to call Katz in Vancouver. Does Katz know we played tonight?
Ol' horse teeth does it again
And the wheels fall off again! Atta boy Smitty!
March 20 2013, 10:25PM
Smyth looked like the old man he is, not much effort to try and win that puck before losing it on the tying goal. He should go. Retire his number and get someone who has some energy.
Taylor Hall would be proud of them chicklets (ok maybe not)
March 20 2013, 10:27PM
Oilers will never be good with this goalie. Everyone keeps talking about dubbie being good. That's crap he sucks
He was only on the ice as Horcoff was off getting his skate fixed.
March 20 2013, 10:28PM

Krueger playing him every 2nd shift in the 3rd. These guys can't help themselves. Renney 2.0.
March 20 2013, 10:30PM
Someone might want to start laying the body on that guy coming in for the shot from the middle and the outside of the circle, we need to hammer that guy becase its their primary offensive outlet, we are pinning them nicely and this is all they can get but they are making it count so we need to step up in there and lay someone out realllllly bad, man.
March 20 2013, 10:31PM
Krueger playing him every 2nd shift in the 3rd. These guys can't help themselves. Renney 2.0.
Kruegers' a Junior A coach at best. Steve Smith looks like he's been embalmed.
Whitney=buzz kill
I see Mike Brown has been schooling Yakupov a little.
March 20 2013, 10:35PM
I can't believe we are going to leave Lindy Ruff out there for some other team to grab. Nice try Ralph, thanks, but we've chosen to try and salvage something of this season and our future and go in a different direction..again.. Pick up up your cheque on he way out.
lets go oilers!!!
March 20 2013, 10:35PM
Come on guys lets support Yaks energy and get on our horses.
We need to pressure them hard now.
Hall needs to take it to the middle and shoot as he moves laterally with his head up of course.
And tell Yakupov to get to the net on every shift, not stand there and get clocked but charge to the perimeter in closer.
But Brown on the same line as Yakupov now and let them raise hell maybe Yakupov likes the high tempo hitting, lets give him some backup before they cheapshot him, lets be proactive and get Brown in there right now to send a message and let Yak gain some confidence because we want to see him play hard.
March 20 2013, 10:37PM
Does anyone think Katz is watching this crap on tv tonight? Does he have any idea whats going on here?
WTF..I went for beer run @ 3-1 really tied, uuuuugh
Hmmm...Dubie when the puck hits u in the mid section there should be no rebound(thus goal #2) as for #3 well outdoorsguy already covered that one..so much for 8th place..sad
Well lets look on the bright side, Colorado beat dallas and we gained at least one point, we are either 1 or 2 points out of playoffs however this ends
March 20 2013, 10:54PM
Stay up Dooby they are all shooting high on you.
Well lets look on the bright side, Colorado beat dallas and we gained at least one point, we are either 1 or 2 points out of playoffs however this ends
True, but how do you blow a 2 goal lead at home in the third, the difference between a contender and a pretender
March 20 2013, 10:57PM
I've lived in Edmonton for the last 14 years. Every year, except for the lucky cup run, this team has fought for the last playoff spot or worse. Every year. Twelve, thirteen, fourteen years. This organization will not change it's culture unless people stop spending money on the Oilers. Going to games, buying jerseys has to stop. The only way to force this team to make any move to improve the on ice performance is to hit it in the pocketbook. I even worked in the building for years and had to deal with the organization on a daily basis. There is an arrogance that goes back to Sather's days and as long as the old boys club/boys on the bus are in control, that arrogance will continue. It starts at the top and just permeates itself down through the entire organization. This is a toy for Katz and as long as dollars flow into his pocket he's happy. He doesn't care about the quality of the team. He wants money. He lives in Vancouver. There are 16802 people at every game so why should he care? Come on people. Start to understand why nothing ever gets done with this team. Everything is fine in Oilerland because the money is coming in. Imagine what would happen if there were only 7 or 8 thousand at about 5 games in a row. There would be absolute chaos. And Katz may fall off that list of richest people. That's all that matters to him, and the organization.
Dubnyk was bad in that shootout
March 20 2013, 10:58PM
Well lets look on the bright side, Colorado beat dallas and we gained at least one point, we are either 1 or 2 points out of playoffs however this ends
This is how you hope for success? Give your head a shake.
I hate horse teeth
March 20 2013, 11:00PM
I've decided Dubnyk is a Junior A goalie at best. He can play on Krueger's Junior A team anytime!!
March 20 2013, 11:00PM
That was essentially a playoff game, we had the game but couldnt convert on a 4 min PP, and that was the turning point , it is what it is, I would love to be in a final with the Sharks right now, we have their number.
Butt of course. Good game.....NOT. We are close, maybe two more years before this team can compete for...the 8th seed in the division. How are some of these guys still employed and playing professional hockey. Oh yeah, only the Oilers would hire these journeymen fourth liners who dont even skate HARD!

text: Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) This is stunning news. Sid Smith reports in this morning's Chicago Tribune that Maia Wilkins, the Joffrey Ballet's lead ballerina for most of its dozen-plus years here, will leave the troupe at the end of this season. Her departure is dramatic evidence that new artistic director Ashley Wheater will not be timid in making his mark. Wheater, named to his post last fall, recently told Wilkins and her husband , fellow Joffrey dancer Michael Levine, that their contracts won't be renewed Wilkins' reaction: "It's a surprise, but one I'm at peace with," Wilkins said Friday. "Whenever there's a change in management, there will be shifts, and this is one of them. It's Ashley's company now." In addition, "Ashley has been gracious about letting us pick our farewell," she said. As a result, during the troupe's May engagement, Wilkins and Levine will dance Arpino's "Sea Shadow," and she and longtime partner Willy Shives will perform Arpino's "Ruth, Ricordi per Due."

Love these!
"I absolutely adored the shoes online, but fell even more in love when I received them in the mail. The pictures do not do them any justice. They are the lightest shade of mint with tons of sparkle that you can see across the room! The heel isn't too high, and there is just enough platform to make them super comfy. I haven't worn them out yet, but I did wear them around the house for 4 hours and had no foot pain or rubbing of any sort. Overall, I would say they are fabulous!"

Ever notice how everything can be excused away at Christmas?
Oh, you haven't been to the gym lately? No big deal, it's Christmas!
Haven't been eating well? Hey, it's Christmas, lighten up.
It's so easy to fall off the path because it's the holidays, and, apparently, the holidays are about…being lazy and eating anything you want? Sounds nice, but it makes it harder to stay on the weight loss track.
I know it's the week of Christmas, but I'm already worrying about how many times I can go to the gym. I barely made it last night, clocking in at about 11:30 p.m., since I stayed up baking cookies (which are NOT healthy) for Album Club today. Even though I was tired from being up since 7 a.m., that workout felt wonderful. In fact, I didn't want to go home. I could've worked out all night. I'm not sure how I'm going to work in some workouts for the rest of the week/weekend, though. I'll do what I can!
My eating isn't what it should be these days either. My schedule is packed, so I'm eating what I can when I can, basically. As if I'm not causing myself enough trouble, I've had lots of sweet gifts from coworkers, all in the form of food, from fire and ice pickles to buckeyes to cookies. Delicious, all, and thoughtful, sure, but oh so bad for me.
I've decided to enjoy it all but in moderation. I had one cookie yesterday; I might have another today. The buckeyes, I'm taking to Album Club tonight so others can share in the chocolate-y goodness.
Again, I really do love the holidays – it means I get to see more of my friends, especially those who I haven't seen in a while. But, I look forward to getting back on my eating and workout schedules. I know I'll feel better, both physically and emotionally (eating these few sweets and my less frequent gym trips are leading up to a mountain of guilt on my part).
I haven't checked the scales in a while. The next time I get on one, it'll probably just oink at me instead of giving me a number. But whatever. The holidays are just once a year, and I'm going to do the best I can. If it means a pound or two, so be it. I'm trying, scale, I'm trying!

The problem is that i need an accurate timer in order to know the time between the last 2 pulses every about 5 minutes.
But if i use an external timer2 using an external 32 KHz crystal i can wakeup and have also the accurate timer2 mills... is this true ?
This pulse sensor must read a LED pulse of my current power meterand then send it via RF every 5 minutes to another arduino base.
Now I don't remember where I read but I remember that tha cpu can sleep but have also the external interrupt active. Is this true ?
Pin change interrupts on PCINT23..0 are detected asynchronously. This implies that these interrupts can be used for waking the part also from sleep modes other than Idle mode.
attachInterrupt(1, onPulse, RISING);
cause of use of internal 8MHz RC clock... it is there a bootloader that can use 8MHz internal clock ?
Note that these techniques only work with the Arduino Duemilanove w/ an ATmega328, not the Arduino Uno (or older Arduino boards w/ an ATmega168).

Comments: Sad to see it go. Haven't tried the Hitogami (the replacement for both the Ronin and the Musha). Maybe because a cross between the Ronin and Musha couldn't be as good as the original Musha. This was my go-to for everything up to the half, and I probably should have had the courage to try in a full. It's amazing that RW still has these on discount. Best inventory among running stores. If you like a solid feel and a generous drop, grab a pair.
From: Keith, NY, USA. July 7th 2014
Comments: This is just an "O.K." update. Compared to version 4, the new rubber is less durable and the upper seems too loose. Also, what is going on with the color schemes? Mizuno should seriously consider toning it down a little for the version 6. I'm guessing that most dudes don't prefer sparkly shoe laces (version 4) or powder blue uppers on orange souls (version 5).
From: Nash, Nashville, TN, USA
Comments: By far my go to running shoe. I do lots of trail and mountain running along with plenty of pavement pounding and this shoe always performs. I get in a minimum of 60 and up to 100 miles a week and the Wave Musha's are on my feet at least 70% of the time. An ideal 9mm heel to toe drop to ease the pounding on my calves during climbs but still light and nimble so I keep my proprioception. Upper doesn't suffocate my feet. Toe box keeps all of my piggies happy, which is why I use them on my long 20+ mile runs. Pronation support is just right. For very loose mountain terrain, I keep them at home but for fire roads and pavement pounding, Wave Musha all the way. If these shoes had a Solomon S-Lab Sense type tread, they would be a gift from the trail shoe gods. Going to stick with the Wave Musha for my next 100 mile mountain race and have all the confidence they will perform without a glitch.
From: Rob, So Cal
Comments: I'm a tri guy who normally gets in about 25+ miles a week. Usually run in lighter neutral shoes like the Saucony A5 and fast twitch, and recently the Wave Sayonora. I'm gearing up for a marathon and needed a little more protection under foot for my longer runs as the weekly mileage gets up into the 40s and 50s. I like the Kinvara but the exposed EVA gets destroyed too quickly. Gave the Musha a try and loved it. More plush than my normal flats but still light and fast. There are definitely more stability elements in the Musha than in my typical shoes but I don't find it major enough to significantly change my gait or anything. Solid shoe.
From: Scott, Thousand Oaks, CA, USA
Comments: Bought it last week and received it today. Shipping is always fast and prices are better.
From: Alfonzo, Hubert, NC, USA

Comments: Picked these up on the current (June 2014) special and they are pretty decent. Soft but not bottomless and an overall pleasant run. I don't really think about them. A good trainer but I wouldn't race in them. They are tearing holes in my right achilles, though. Not sure what the deal with that is. The only other shoes I've had that problem with is the zoom elite. Anyway, I'd still recommend them. I run 60-70 mpw at a 6:45-7:15 pace.
From: Jeff, Brooklyn, NY, USA. June 25th 2014
Comments: Just tried the excel33 3 and found it was too soft in the cushioning department. Felt like I was loosing rebound energy
From: Huzey
Comments: The first version was almost perfect... but too squishy at faster paces. The second version was almost perfect... but too firm at slower paces (and the upper durability was terrible). I was skeptical of this drastic update, and it definitely has a slightly different fit and ride from the first two, but it's close and it seems to fix the single issue I had with each of the previous versions. I haven't found anything I don't love about this shoe.
From: Sky, HVL, CA, USA. May 16th 2014
Comments: Great shoe. Neutral, light, on the softer side, but not spongey, Nike Free inspired upper, very flexible and the gel is noticeable but not intrusive on the ride. I sized down 1/2 from my normal shoes, but that is more about personal preference, as I go sockless about 25% of the time. I did notice a touch of heel slip, the back is not as "cuppy" as other Asics models. Working these into the rotation, along with my Brooks Pure Cadence and Saucouny Kinvara 4's. Happy purchase.

GDFD No. 73: Wak wak wak
Ryan Lambert
March 25 2009 03:16PM
Welcome to the 25th Game Day Fire Drill, for this, Calgary's 73rd game of the season on March 25, 2009.
True story: I hate Mario Lemieux so much that the only version of EA's NHL series that I never bought was NHL2002 because it featured Super Mario on the cover.
The next year, NHL2003 featured video of various players saying, "EA Sports. It's in the game!" One of these players was Mario Lemieux. And if I got the Lemieux intro, I shut the game off and wouldn't play it for an hour. (Actually, that was partly because I hated him and partly because I was unsure if cancer is contagious via video game intro. Turns out it's only like 3 percent of the time. So no biggie.)
To show just how eager I was to get my hands on every other version of NHL ever, I was the first in line to buy NHL2004, which featured a post-murder Dany Heatley on the cover. I would rather support a drunk driving murderer than Mario Lemieux. No kidding.
But yeah, I don't know why I hate Mario Lemieux. Just do. Always have. That's also the reason I pretty much hate the Penguins to this day. I like Crosby just fine and I think Malkin is phenomenal, but I will almost never root for the Pens because Mario Lemieux pisses me right off.
The Calgary Flames (42-24-6 for 90 points. Third in the West, first in the Northwest) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (39-27-8 for 86 points. Sixth in the East, third in the Atlantic).
5:30 p.m. Mountain time and 7:30 p.m. Eastern time. All other time zones should be happy their week wasn't as bad as this guy's.
Mellon Arena, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Calgary is 18-15-2 away from home this year, and haven't had a game outside of Calgary since THAT road trip. The Pens are an excellent 21-13-3 at the Igloo and are 3-1-1 on this current home stand.
What (to hate about the Penguins):
Sidney Crosby — The pride of Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia has a bit of a reputation for being a crybaby, doesn't he? That's what I've heard anyway.
Evgeni Malkin — He's probably the best player on the Penguins, but you wouldn't know it from the way he gets talked about, or, more accurately, not talked about, when media types bring up the league's best players.
Jordan Staal — Being the worst Staal brother is kind of like being the meanest Nazi. It takes a lot of doin', and you're up against some stiff competition. But Jordan By God Staal is EASILY the worst Staal brother. In a freakin' runaway.
Brooks Orpik — This is the last thing children see before they are murdered in the back of his panel van:
Dan Bylsma — Since coming aboard in relief of Michel Therrien, Byslma has the Pens running at 12-2-3. That's no good.
Marc-Andre Fleury — Take it outside, Frenchy.
The city of Pittsburgh — Another dingy craphole city. But this time all their sports teams are color coordinated. How revolting.
It's simple, it's breezy, it's fun and it's easy. Enjoy the game and talk about this Crolkin fellow in the comments section.
Wow this was quite an offensive game day fire drill. Joking about cancer, bringing up grisly child abduction/murder, comparing the Staals to Nazis, Hiroshima survivors, French Canadians. Not too sure what to say other than Go Flames!
i dont think the pens have 105 points...
I'm very interested to see if we can maintain our discipline tonight. Over the three game homestand, we took only 7 minor penalties, and one was a bench minor. It's only three games, but if that's a trend, that's a very good one.
Phil wrote:

good point phil, good point. i'm on it.
lol dont listen to them TLP, I like the offensive humour. Its funny. I never hated Lemieux but have an unrealistic hate of Malkin douche. Look at him acting like hes so good, and he is but hes still a dick. Needless to say I have grown up in Calgary meaning Im not too accepting of eauropeans (particularily slav nations). Ill never forget watching the Czechs play Canada in a world championship (i cannot remember) and they would drop down and fake an injury LITERALLY at the tiniest bit of contact. The anouncers were laughing thats how bad it was. they would poke them and they would drop. Canada of course tooled them and they went back to having no respect at all for themselves.
lol oh man its not the crosby whos a whiner its the entire fan base. They think any bit of contact is a penalty. Seems to me they have been watching the dirty rusky and crosby play for too long.
well fleury was good... and the pens were pretty damn physical. 0fer on the PP. with them getting a lot of chances SH was disturbing. Coulda won.. probably an even upper after the 3 gifts ozzy gave us vs the wings.
i kinda liked peters again... i realize hes tough to give any more ice time as we have a few capable centres but hes got wheels and no fear of the dirty areas and is willing to sacrifice the body for sake of the team which endears him to me.
Hope they have better luck against mason and the jackets.

The Emery County Commission went into a closed session in their February meeting to discuss the Emery County Care and Rehabilitation Center. After the closed session they determined they would send a letter notifying Traditions Health Care of termination of contract at the end of 60 days. The county will solicit requests for proposals for operation of the care center. Commissioner Ethan Migliori said they are looking for ways to make the care center profitable. With the current contract there are limited opportunities to do that. The care center board president Ross Huntington will work with the county to assist with the payables. The request for proposals will generate new ideas for the care center and allow for new offerings for services at the care center. It is the wish of the commissioners to make the care center viable. "When the care center first opened it was adequate, but things have changed. There's assisted living now and we'd like to open it up for other opportunities. The current contract isn't flexible enough," said Commissioner Migliori. Commissioner James Nelson added there's an acre of property at the care center that isn't being used.
The Emery County Commissioners recognized Flora Mott as the February Employee of the Month. Commissioner Migliori said, "Flora was hired on Jan. 1, 1975 as an Assistant Librarian at the Cleveland Library under the direction of her sister Mickey Carter, who was the Librarian. When she was hired she worked 2 hours one day a week for $1.25 per hour. During the winter, they were paid 50 cents to build a fire in the old library building. She was part of moving the library twice finally to the building Cleveland has today. She did a wonderful job there for 29 years. In January of 2004 she had the opportunity to become the head librarian in Huntington where she has excelled making the library a very inviting and friendly place. Flora is very talented and always has exceptional bulletin boards and displays. She is very friendly and works well with her staff and the public. Flora has worked for Emery County for 39 years. We are so grateful to have her as part of the Library system." She received a plaque of appreciation and some Emery County Chamber bucks to be spent in Emery County businesses.
A public hearing was held to receive comments on the issuance of general obligation bonds by the Castle Valley Special Service District in the amount of $1,348,000. CVSSD manager Jacob Sharp said each year the towns prepare a wish list of projects and improvements they would like to see in their town. These lists are prioritized. The board goes to the Community Impact Board to see what money the CIB can contribute. In the November meeting the CIB approved the $1,348,000 bond with an interest rate of 1.5 percent.
In the February funding meeting the CIB gave final approval. The bond money will be used for street improvements, curb and gutter, replacing old water lines and other projects.
Commissioner James Nelson said the CVSSD does an amazing job and the improvements in the towns are very noticeable.
Sharp said the debt service for the district will remain level through 2016 after which it should start to drop. This leaves room for projects without raising taxes. People within the communities with ideas for projects should take these ideas to their mayors.
The commission voted to approve the bond for the CVSSD.
The Four Corners Behavioral Health held a public hearing for input concerning their programs. Because Emery County is a contributor to Four Corners, they must come before the commission each year for their input as well as input from the public.
Karen Dolan is the director and Jennifer Thomas is the Castle Dale Office supervisor.
Commissioner Nelson said he serves on this board and they work hard to provide services on a limited budget in Carbon, Emery and Grand counties.
Dolan explained they offer a full line of services. They have outpatient care and a staff of doctors and nurses. They help with medication management and mental health needs of their patients. They offer substance abuse classes and treatment. The drug court program works very well and currently Emery County has 18 enrolled. Carbon and Grand counties have housing for the severely mentally ill because housing is a problem area for these individuals. There are also clubhouses where the mentally ill can go during the day where they learn skills.
Four Corners is doing a lot of prevention work in the schools and helping students who have problems.
Four Corners employs 88 people in the three county area.
Commissioner Nelson said the drug court program works for area employers as well who know those participants are tested regularly and they make good employees. Four Corners is able to leverage their funding into more than $3 million to provide services to the local people. They participate in crisis intervention with the sheriff's office. Four Corners also transports people to Price each day for treatment.
Commissioner Jeff Horrocks said he appreciates what Four Corners does for Emery County.
The commission approved the updated road district bylaws.
There will be a pavement preservation project at the Huntington Airport. The county has received $72,000 in grant money for a crack and seal project on the tarmac and runway. The road district will provide an $8,000 match for the project. The project will be completed when the weather warms up.
The commission approved the interlocal agreement with the road district for the project. The project is not done with taxpayer dollars but with mineral lease money. Commissioner Horrocks pointed out there are large cracks in the tarmac and this treatment will take care of that problem. The runway will be restriped after the sealing.
Emery County and Reeder Subdivision signed an agreement for snow removal on county road 507. They have a snowplow up there and can remove snow more quickly than sending a county plow up to Joe's Valley.
William Coyne, Ted Curtis, Raymond Quinn and Bruce Wilson were appointed to the North Emery Water Users Special Service District.
Howard Tuttle reported the debris basin construction in Huntington Canyon has resumed. They are waiting for the permitting from the Army Corp of Engineers so they can start on the south basin. Tuttle requested a change order to the north basin so they can begin to get the rip rap ready for the south basin so when it is contracted they will have that part complete. The change order is in the amount of $672,829.05.
Tuttle said they need to get the projects completed as soon as possible to be ready for any flooding events.
Commissioner Horrocks said Capt. Kyle Ekker and Sheriff Greg Funk approached the legislature for more funding for the Huntington Canyon restoration project.
The county approved a government lease for the placing of NOAA equipment on the Horn Mountain communications site.
Carl Jacobsen was appointed to the planning commission. The commission approved the EEO plan which must be updated each year. A policy update to the personnel policy will clarify vacation hours.
In the commission reports, Commissioner Ethan Migliori said he attends the BEAR meetings and they have resources available for businesses that are looking to expand. The trails committee is nearing completion of a map which lists trails in the county. With this inventory it will create opportunities for biking, hiking and mountain biking in the area giving more awareness to what is available here.
The travel bureau has been busy attending travel shows throughout the west. Commissioner Migliori said there are three types of money, that which is circulated within the community; that which is spent outside the community and goes somewhere else and money that is brought into the community by the outside. This money is used to build our pot. The travel bureau will advertise for the upcoming travel season to promote Emery County.
The new mammoth display at the Museum of the San Rafael is coming along. The council of mayors meeting discussed the tippage fee at the landfill. "I appreciate the mayors from our cities getting together to discuss issues, " said Commissioner Migliori. In the recreation district meeting the new members for 2014 joined the board. All of the youth sports programs are running well.
Commissioner Nelson said he attended a meeting with grazers on the burro and donkey explosion on federal lands. Several were in attendance from Emery County. Grazers are taking reductions in grazing AUMs because the land can't support all the burros along with the cattle. Nelson said this is a serious problem. He said the BLM said they can't do anything about it.
Commissioner Horrocks said the public lands council met and he attended. The Emery County public land use bill is still moving with Cong. Bishop and his staff. They don't expect they will have anything ready to introduce to Congress until this fall. Ray Petersen, Commissioner Nelson and Randy Johnson will visit Washington DC soon to keep the issue in the forefront. He said the seven county coalition is working towards a memorandum of understanding. They will become an engine for economic development in the area. The fire district wants to purchase new trucks which will cost $1 million. They will approach the CIB for funding.

Fuzzibunz sent me this yellow diaper to try out.
As you can see in the sideways picture above, there are two rows of snaps. On for adjusting the tightness around the hips and the other is for adjusting the waist tightness. You can also kid of see where the adjustable elastic comes out on the wings of the diaper.
The inside of the diaper is lined with a nice soft fleece.Here is a close up of the adjustable elastic on the diaper. There are numbers on it by the button holes so that you know you have them at the same tightness for each diaper of the diaper!
It also comes with two microfiber inserts.
It also comes with two microfiber inserts.
Here I tightens one side up as tight as it would go and made the other side as big as it would go. You can see it can fit a variety of sizes.
Here is the diaper opened with the elastic adjusted to the smallest and biggest size setting for the legs.
The back of the diaper also features adjustable elastic. You can see the button and the elastic coming out on the right side of the picture.
After I got the yellow diaper for review I got this cute orange one to add to my stash as well. Its a fairly trim diaper depending on what all you stuff in the pocket of it.
I have to say that this time around I am much more happy with the FuzziBunz OS diaper. It was way easier to use with only one in diapers. I really like the adjustable elastic across the back of this diaper. Typically I prefer cross over tabs on diapers because when you have a smaller baby in a OS diaper the waist is hard to get tight enough. With the elastic in the back of this diaper you can tighten it so that the diaper doesn't need to have cross over tabs and it doesn't gap away from your baby when its adjusted to the correct size.
When out shopping one morning I put this on my son. I usually don't put on a diaper that I haven't tried out for a longer period of time when I am heading out the door but I put this one on him with both of the MF inserts that came with it. So 5 1/2 hours later when I got home he still hadn't leaked through this diaper. No I didn't intentionally not change him for that long of a time but he fell asleep right before we got to the store where I was going to change him at and he stayed alseep until we got home! That usually never happens but the diaper did its job and he was dry!
Would you like to try out a FuzziBunz OS diaper? Go here to find a retailer.

Oyster shell planting sprays shells back in the water
Newport River, Eastern Carolina - Oyster shell planting is in full swing across eastern Carolina, but the amount of shells hitting the water are fewer than previous years. Several of the shells that are being swept back into the water were donated.
"The program collects about 25,000 bushels on average the last few years from restaurants and the public and oyster roast functions and they're going right back into the water," said Lead Coordinator of the Oyster Shell Recycling Program, Sabrina Varnam.
The remainder of the shells were purchased by the state. These state-funded shells are fewer than previous years due to budget.
Varnam says barges loaded with oyster shells are not headed to the ocean.
"We actually plant them in mouths of rivers, tributaries and bays and estuaries up and down the Carolina coast line from dare down to Brunswick County," said Varnam.
Old shells are the perfect material for new oysters to use to grow. Varnam says, that's why important to plant the shells now before the oysters begin to spawn.
Just one oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water a day. Oyster reefs can also help reduce erosion and provide a good ecosystem for other marine life.

Leafs' Team Needs Top 9 Forward Cheap: Shut-Down Line Edition
Danny Gray
June 13 2012 12:33PM
Note the difficulty of Dave Steckel's minutes. As the third-line centreman, while many players are clumped together, Steckel faced a lot of tough situations with the Leafs this year. Behind the Net has him listed at 6th in Corsi Rel QoC on the team among regular forwards, but he saw a lot of shifts that started purely in the defensive zone. They have him at 38%. He's one of the few Leafs who did his job this season.
-ReutersI have to believe that they will look to Travis Moen.
June 13 2012, 01:24PM
June 13 2012, 01:52PM
Oh man, I don't want them signing any more bottom-six forwards. None.
June 13 2012, 06:01PM
Anything that keeps us from even attempting to sign Dustin Penner is ok by me.
If you look at the Anaheim team that made the cup run, they had Penner - Getzlaf - Perry getting sheltered, third/fourth line scoring minutes and another Paulson line acting as the shut down line.
I don't see why you couldn't have Kadri - Bozak (or potentially Galchenyuk/Grigorenko, if we're taliking about dreams) - Frattin as one bottom six line getting offensive zone starts and a separate Steckle line getting defensive zone starts.
We just need to lose our hangups with respect to traditional 3rd/4th line roles.

Former Culture Club star Boy George wants band reunion
Following his recent early release from prison, former Culture Club frontman, Boy George is pictured attempting to hide his face as he leaves his north London home. The singer was jailed earlier this year after being found guilty of falsely imprisoning a male escort.
Earl/Clements/Splash News
By Sophie Eager May 11, 2010, 15:40 GMT
Former Culture Club star Boy George still wants a reunion for the hit 80s band.
The 48-year-old singer has made up with his former bandmate and former lover Jon Moss, 52, after falling out many years ago.
He said to Radio Times: 'I wasn't at peace with myself. I wasn't at peace with what happened. I do love Jon. I can say that now. I do love him as a friend.
'I care about him and I don't have any negativity towards him any more.'
The star added that their reconciliation happened when they met in a pub two years ago.
He said: 'I reached out a bit. I suppose I got to the point where I thought I can't keep living in the past... I don't look at him and go: 'Ugh, you ruined my life.''
Please can we stop with the reunions? Besides this one is very unlikely to happen given Boy George's numerous convictions, I just don't see a visa getting issued.
Wasn't he doing about to go on tour not too long ago, but then that whole jail thing happened or VISA issue or something.
All the dates got cancelled.
Yes, I purchased tickets to see him at El Rey. Then he couldn't get a visa.

Category name i.e.REAL HI FI
It's a wireless Bluetooth speaker that's grown three times in size since we first met the original Jambox in 2010. It looks like it's grown into its body, with its flavoured grilles covering it from edge to edge, bar some rubber buttons up-top and some more rubber on its sides. On the bottom are eight 'strategically placed' rubber feet that stop the speaker skidding around when the volume is amped.
The Big Jambox comes in three colours—red, white and grey—and each one models its own unique grill. At 1.2 kilograms, it's not as 'portable' as its smaller sibling (or some of its rivals), but it's still easy enough to handle with one hand and the added bulk conjures a sense of premium craftsmanship, which is something traditionally absent from portable speakers.
Bluetooth smartphones, tablets, computers and mp3 players can connect and play tunes to the Big Jambox. The Big Jambox will remember up to eight devices, of which two can be paired at the same time, playing music concurrently. It's a great idea that allows two people to share their music library at any one event with no hassles.
Pairing a device with the Big Jambox is very easy. A dedicated Bluetooth button subtly resides on its side, and once you press it for a few seconds, it'll communicate it's in pairing mode through a flashing light and by saying "Big Jambox is in pairing mode." It then plays some music during the interim.
If you're using a smartphone to play music on the Big Jambox and you get a phone call, don't sweat. The Big Jambox has an omni-direction (360°) microphone capable of clearly picking up who is talking at any time. This adds some functionality to the Big Jambox, allowing it to be used during conference calls…but we doubt most of them will end up in offices.
On top are rubberised function buttons that in no way tax the charm of the Jambox. These include play/pause, previous, next, volume up, volume down and a button marked 'J'. This button communicates how much battery life is left in the Big Jambox, breaking it down into full, 3 quarters full, half full and a quarter full.
On its side, beneath the power and pairing buttons are three ports. The first is a standard 3.5mm auxiliary (great for devices that don't have Bluetooth), a micro USB port reserved for firmware updates and a proprietary charging port. Charging the Big Jambox with the proprietary port takes an estimated 2.5 hours, or if you've forgotten it elsewhere, you can resort to the microUSB port but be warned: that's an overnight project.
Once charged, the Big Jambox will belt out sounds for 15 hours, or will last 500 hours on standby.
Connect your smartphone or any device with a Bluetooth pulse and the Big Jambox will rise to the occasion, valiantly punching out tunes to fill any room with lively atmosphere. It'll dynamically handle various genres and tends to the soundstage evenly. Admittedly, it's no state of the art system, but it surprises for a portable speaker, marrying bodied audio with fidelity for a great experience, wherever you are.
Surprisingly the Big Jambox is worth its $359 price tag, even if it is steep for a portable speaker. A part of me wishes it was cheaper because it's one product that deserves many, many homes.

Review: Fitbit Flex Wearable Fitness Tracker
Testing Fitbit's wrist-band wearable fitness tracker over the past couple of weeks has been an interesting experiment that sees me wanting to continue the tracking and reaching the daily 10,000 steps goal - but I wish it also told the time.
