Trade Talk
Jonathan Willis
June 20 2013 09:28AM
If the volume of trade rumours is anything to go by, the time between the end of the Stanley Cup playoffs and draft day (June 30) is going to be nuts. At the centre of a lot of it is Edmonton – general manager Craig MacTavish has made no secret of his desire to immediately and significantly put his stamp on the team, and at this point it would be more of a surprise not to find the Oilers involved in significant trades than to see them pull the trigger on a deal.
Some Names
Kris Letang. Jason Gregor wrote yesterday about reports out of Pittsburgh that Kris Letang could well be moved, and floated a package of Jeff Petry, the number seven pick and a young forward. While that's a dear price to pay, Letang is a 26-year old rearguard who played number one minutes (more than 27:00 per game, including time in all situations) on a team that went to the Conference Final this year. He scored at better than a point per game pace in both the regular season and the playoffs. He is a legitimate top-pairing defenceman and would improve the Oilers' blue line a lot. As long as the Oilers were allowed to talk to him about a contract extension before acquiring him, he'd be a great target for this team. The only argument against is that the Oilers already have Justin Schultz – another right-side defenceman with high-level offensive ability – but right now Letang is a vastly superior player and in a three-for-one situation it seems unlikely Edmonton would regret making a deal.
Jonathan Bernier. There isn't really a lot of buzz for the idea of Bernier ending up in Edmonton – probably at least in part because Los Angeles has been hesitant in the past to move him within their own division. From my perspective, that's a good thing: Bernier might be the next big thing, but he's also a 6' goalie with just 62 NHL games played and a 0.912 save percentage. Because of draft pedigree and reputation, Bernier is going to cost a lot, but whoever acquires him is running a major risk. It's a good risk for some teams, but Edmonton has a pretty decent goalie in Devan Dubnyk so they don't need to swing hard for an unproven goalie.
Jake Gardiner. A 22-year old defenceman who moves the puck brilliantly and seems chronically undervalued by the Leafs? Personally, I think the '7th overall for Gardiner and the 21st overall' trade scenarios are ludicrously one-sided in Edmonton's favour and I'd be surprised to see the Leafs bite, but it wouldn't surprise me if the cost of acquiring Gardiner is significantly lower than the immediate impact he would have on the blue line.
Tom Gilbert. In the last season Craig MacTavish coached, Tom Gilbert played second pairing minutes and picked up a career-high 45 points. Now, after a year with an impossibly bad 0.877 on-ice even-strength save percentage (keep in mind: this isn't something Gilbert could control), the Wild may buyout Gilbert because Dany Heatley's injury prevents them from paying him to go away. If the Oilers can get him for basically nothing in trade or sign him cheaply after a buyout for the third-pairing, that's a clear win for the organization, I think.
In General
The Toronto Maple Leafs. Robin Brownlee had a nice take on the now famous Nick Kypreos picture (above) of Craig MacTavish and Dave Nonis standing there, talking to each other – one which blew up because Edmonton and Toronto seem like a trade match in some ways. As Brownlee put it, we have no idea whether the two are talking "a whole bunch of something or a whole lot of nothing." Certainly the fact that general managers OCCASIONALLY. TALK. TO. EACH. OTHER. isn't news. Still, the Maple Leafs are a funny organization – they tried hard to bring in a finished Miikka Kiprusoff at the deadline, seem to have no confidence in a very good goaltender in James Reimer, blew most of Jake Gardiner's season in the minors and just in general seem like a team that has some good pieces they undervalue. They have good players at both forward and on defence that seem to have at least somewhat fallen out of favour; that makes them a very good team to be talking to in general terms. But again: that photo means almost nothing, despite the buzz it generated.
The Draft. It's really hard not to get the sense that moving up in a meaningful way is going to be all but impossible for the Oilers at this year's draft, which is a shame because a guy like Aleksander Barkov looks like a good bet to add real value in the fourth overall slot and would be a perfect fit for organizational need. Elias Lindholm is a guy who probably adds real value but isn't a perfect fit because he might end up on wing in the NHL, while Darnell Nurse is a good fit for immediate team need but would need time and would also join a prospect pipeline already loaded with defencemen – albeit ones without his particular skillset. Still, an idea Craig Mactavish floated (seemingly) long ago – adding some help now and moving down in the first round – looks more reasonable all the time.
Recently around the Nation Network
Tyler Bozak isn't a name mentioned above, but one that a few Oilers fans have asked me about as a possible fit for Edmonton. I don't like him given his likely price point, and in Mythbusters: Tyler Bozak Edition LeafsNation's Cam Charron does a good job of explaining why. There's a lot there and it's worth reading, but this picture alone says a lot:

Would you give up our 7th for Myers, Vanek or Miller ? That would leave Buffalo with picks 7 ,8, and 16th for a fast rebuild .
June 20 2013, 09:04PM
For the oilers, The top 7 draft order has to be...
1)Jones (col #1) -Best Dman in Draft can't pass up
2)Mckinnon (Fla #2) -Best Center/wing Avail. with size
3)Barkov (Nash #4) -2nd best Center with size
4)Drouin (TB #3) -Too much talent to pass up
5)Nurse (BPA at 7?) -shutdown with skill/size left handed. perfect fit
6)Nishcuskin (Car #5) -size, speed and skill. leaving 2nd line as Nish Gagner Yak. Not too bad
7)Monahan (Cal #6) -plays like kopitar with a little less skill. Great #2c in a couple years
Nurse + J.Schultz would be a hell of a combo in 5 years. A Seidenberg/Chara esque combo. Kind of excited MacT said he loves that guy because that pair excites me. Also Button says he will be part of a cup team in 5 years. That's pretty high standards to shoot for but I like the thought with Nurse doing that in the copper/blue :D
NO THANKS ON LETANG! Too expensive. As for dmen goes, he is on the small size and prone to injuries with only one full year without one... why? 'cause for his "small" size, he likes to skate through the middle of the ice and (bingo), he gets smacked around a lot. Besides, he is not too defensive in his own zone. Lets not go ga-ga 'cause he carries the puck alot...he does play with two generational players that can help.
Lets use our depth on dmen on farm...Klefbom, Gernat and Marinicn or later trade for one. We need more depth on centreman position than anything else. A bigger and gritty one at that. DO you think we can be effective enough battling with our slender Hopkins and smallish Gagner at center while playing against bigger teams ex Bruins, Blackhawks, Sharks etc? Ummm NO! Lets look for one instead of giving up too much for Letang.
June 20 2013, 09:14PM
I hear the 2020 draft is very strong maybe the strongest.
Yeah, hopefully we will make the playoffs by then.
Love to see Nurse here...look how Chara dominates teams! Look how all the cup challengers have an outstanding #1 Dman.

June 20 2013, 10:22PM
Nurse has an awful lot of bulking up to do before he is a Chara. He could be a huge impact d-man and will almost surely be a solid top four (probably top pairing), but most d-men are hard to project at this age.
From what I have hear Rasmus Ristolainen is a defensive liability.
Oilers won't go near this player at #7.
Oilers need a two way D-man. No to Rasmus
June 20 2013, 10:32PM
I hope MacTavish wants an overpayment for #7. I am okay with the Oil trading it for a lower 1st round pick and a key player because this draft IS deep. I think there will be teams eager to lay their hands on Lindholm so it is a possibility. But I hope MacTavish does not pull a bonehead deal. I am not one of the MacTavish is a genius disciples...the guy has not always impressed me with his ability to assess talent.
June 20 2013, 10:37PM
Yakupov for Letang would be idiotic. Yakupov oozes talent and he has real heart. He is going to be huge next year playing full time with offensive players.
@Rusty Patenaude
At #7 one of these players will be available to the Oilers. Perhaps 2
Monahan Lindholm Nurse Nichushkin
June 20 2013, 10:43PM
I would be shocked if Nichushkin fell to 7. If two of Lindholm/Nurse/Monahan are not available, that means somebody like Barkov has fallen...highly unlikely but if it were to happen, then it would be a no-brainer. Maybe if MacKinnon were to check into rehab tomorrow...
@Rusty Patenaude
Most likely a choice between Lindholm and Nurse. Or trade down
I never did understand the problem NHL team have keeping their rosters full of competant players.
Teams use their personell dynamics in an excusatory manner constantly and consistantly. It is a remiss behaviour.
There are secrets to everything in life, and there are secrets to Intuitively picking athletes who will become optimal performers.
Some men can just pick the best horses every time becuse they were TAUGHT better, simply taught better systems of valuation. Some men can just pick the best players because they were taught better.
There is a system and it is unique and it is also intellectual property. No one needs to believe the BS we hear, or the excuses NHL teams use. It is NOT that HARD to pick players who will develop and be able to do as you require.
At the draft you pick physical specimens if those suckers cant understand the game after being coached since they were 5-10 years old then the coaching is inferior. It is all about the body and its optimal potential because after all this is a sport right? Get over the hockey part at the draft table.
The epic failure numbers are there because no one is working hard enough to find and use the right system of valuation.
We dont need to make trades out of reflex action. We need to make them after a proper and more accurate valuation has been made on all of the organisational assets we have now considering our new coaches perspecive and needs. We are just beginning to make this posture change to enable us to do this here, maybe we ought to just sit tight and make the 7th pick in a traditional manner. This is a bad time to make a trade involving the draft pick. We might need to step back and feint to the left this time.
Pick the purest athlete available in the 7th spot and let the coaches earn their money. Only trade if you can get a special skill like a top ten faceoff man, some special critical established NHL talent must be our motivator. With our skill level a top ten NHL faceoff man is considered a blockbuster Franchise aquisition, the more we have the puck the better, so we have now IDed our priority need havent we?
NO NHL team is held back by a lack of talent in the player pool, it is system acumen they are lacking in.
Really if you bust it down there are 30 coaches and 30 systems in the NHL, it is a battle between 30 people representing 30 systems, the goddam players are the LEAST of the defining factors we can finger.
Where are you putting your money? On Sidney Crosby or the System he plays within? I am putting my money on the system every time.
There is nothing more valuable in NHL hockey than the System a team uses. No player, and certainly no coach. I know , I developed the NHS. I think it would take the Oilers squad using the OKC roster hands down in a 3 game series outscoreing them 15-6 or worse. Blow the Oilers out the Barons would, using a superior system. This example is the only way to PROVE the illusion of the talent issue, and the suppression of the system issue.
Actually I wonder how an NHL team would ever find a new system of play, considering there is no way to define the specific systems already in use. Just where do they shop I wonder?
Theres some good material fells, lets see a series on the 30 systems NHL teams use, lets see some definitions here, come on blow this conspiracy wide open. Can anyone even name one System of play being used in the NHL? I hope so because that is pretty basic info. Why would a fan pay for something they dont even get to understand or learn about? Do NHL teams have a standard for Systems? If so lets hear some names and see some data put on the table, why do they hide them. We have done oodles of articles on statstical stuff lets find some balance here and cover some Systems so we can at least learn some names.
Drag some NHL Systems out of the closet and I will bring the full NHS out to play and we will have some real valid comparative fun. But first drag out the hidden NHL Systems into the arena so they are defined .
June 20 2013, 10:57PM
How about Brian Campbell? We could maybe trade Horchoff + for him as long as he would waive his no trade. Campbell is a lot more durable and also older than Letang but his style of play and smarts would allow him to play at an elite level to the end of his contract which is another 3 years, by then one of our young d-men we have and Nurse would be ready to take over for the next decade.
June 20 2013, 10:59PM
Quite likely...it depends on what the Flames think of Lindholm vs. Monahan. Lindholm could very well compete for a roster spot next year, he put up very decent numbers in the SEL. Nurse has at least a year or two to go before he can hope to play in the NHL. btw I watched Ristolainen in the WJCs and he is not a defensive liability, I don't know where those previous posters are getting that from. He is not likely to be a powerplay qb though. He is an all-around guy with a rare mean streak for a Finnish defenseman.
June 20 2013, 11:28PM
MacT would be nuts to not take Letang for the deal mentioned above. Petry has some upside, however he didn't exactly improve this past season, and the rest of his career is a question mark.
With Tanger, he is in the prime of his career, and is a top 3 Defenseman in the world. Not including Subban, because he isn't even top 5...how he won the Norris is an absolute travesty- but thats a whole different subject.
Letang's size does not bother me...watch the final minute of the Pittsburgh/Boston series...he single-handedly backchecked, caught and bodied the puck off two different Bruins (one was Lucic) and turned the puck up ice and created offensively. I don't think anyone else in the world (except maybe Karlsson or Keith) has the ability to make either of those plays. He can play half the game and do good things on both sides of the puck.
Letang in Oilers silks would be a dream come true. Sherro is too good a GM to let him leave.

Because Letang has only one year before becoming a UFA, the Oilers neeed to avoid giving too much unless he agrees to a contract extension. Otherwise, any draft picks should be 2014 or later and conditional on Letang signing an extension.
I think Pittsburgh would want a top-four defenceman heading the other way; Petry's a right-side guy and can take some of the minutes for much less coin. I don't think a package with Nick Schultz as the best NHL player lands Letang. And I like Petry a lot - I just think if you have a shot at Letang, that's a price you have to be willing to pay.
At the right price point, I'd be good with Bozak - I just don't think there's any chance the price point if going to be right this summer. I suspect whoever gets him will end up paying big money to a complementary player.
I think Letang is a better player, but when you factor in acquisition cost in terms of trade, along with the price in contract (vs. the money I'd imagine Petry would command), I'm less sure than you that it's likely to be a good deal, JW.
Will Letang sign for reasonable money if traded? Seems unlikely to me, would PIT move him if he were willing to sign for 6 mil?
If only I'd included some sort of evidence, such as via a link, to backup what I'm saying.
Just read your so called evidence.....no mention of blocked shots OR screening goalies. How do you like them apples JW?
June 21 2013, 07:21AM
Nathan MacKinnon does not have "size". He's like 5'11 and 180, give him the benefit of the doubt and say hes 185 now....

If Letang is signed to a lengthy extension, that price of 7th, Petry, forward prospect is ridiculously in the Oilers favour. I would hope and believe MacT would have him signed before doing a trade like that.
People overestimate the 7th overall pick. We need help now. That pick is not likely to make the lineup this year and if they did, it would be rushing yet another prospect. That pick is likely 2-3 years away from being any sort of positive impact, if ever. If we can use it to pry a Letang or Shattenkirk, we will be much better off now and in the future.
BPA projection in two years time : 1-10 : Ristolainen , Nicushkin , Lindholm , MacKinnon , Druoin ,Jones, Monohan , Barkov ,Domi , Pulock (could be the next MacInnis with his shot ).Anyone else brave enough to make a 2 year projection ?
Nurse and Shultz = Chara and Seidenburg ? Good humour there seeing as one has no shot unlike Chara , and the other defensively and physically challenged .
Oiler Domination To Follow
Comparing future Shultz to Seidenberg isnt a stretch. Shultz was a rookie cut him a break. He had a great first half and a horrible second half. Not surprising in his first season going from playing 45 games a season to 82.
I do agree that no comparisons should ever be made in regards to Chara. He's a once a decade type player - their will be no next chara.
Ristolainen can't play defence that is the word among scouts.
Ristolainen can't play defence that is the word among scouts.
Word ,even from Redline at beginning of season said he had more upside than R.Murray from last year that went NBR.2 and almost was an Oiler . You info is flawed . The kids the real deal and played in a league with far superior talents than found in junior -lest you forgot .

Ya but Mackinnon plays like he has size. Perfect power forward style. If he could only fill out a bit as he becomes a man (and he will) he could be in the mold of a Dustin Brown with more skill. (One inch taller/20 lbs more, definitely probable)

Not to say that they will be exactly the same but if J.Schultz molds his 2-way game he could be a Seidenburg like player with a little less defensive talent but a little more offensive attack. As for Nurse to Chara comparable... Well Nurse isn't gonna be 7' tall and probably not as intimating and wont have the shot but if he takes upon the shutdown/mean factor part as Chara does the tag team would rival them. Obviously it will take a few years but it could happen.
One last impressive thing about Rito - he is thick . Meaning he has a big neck and broad shoulders .Like a bull . J.Kurri was also built that way , and built like an ox up top, if you ever saw him up close .
Happy summer solstice everyone .
Thick as brick he will be picked in the 20's.
Ristolainen will be a bust
Could Buffalo be looking to dump their two worst +- players by a lot ? -21 and -25 are Skinner and J.Stall ?
If there is any chance to get Letang for petry and the 7 th you have to get it done also should trade the second second round pick for clutterbuck and Hemsky and 4 th for Frattin and Scrivens
Buffalo -Oilers . Armia ,Stafford ,J.Stall and Buffalo's 16 th for Hemsky ,Jones, Gagner and Horcoff . Sounds like MacT. running out of trade scenarios . Come on ON give him some good deals to try .
Make that Vanek not Stall .

Should the media turn at least one glazed eye toward the checkered trail of Obama's highly suspicious connection to multiple social security numbers?

Yes there is, found his WWII enlistment on ancestry.com, don't know if it is still there.

Accountability Journalism
An Associated Press dispatch, written by Erica Werner and Richard Alonso-Zaldivar, compares the House and Senate ObamaCare bills.
We'd like to compare this dispatch to the AP's dispatch earlier this week "fact checking" Sarah Palin's new book.
Here goes:
Number of AP reporters assigned to story: ObamaCare bills: 2 Palin book: 11
Number of pages in document being covered: ObamaCare bills: 4,064 Palin book: 432
Number of pages per AP reporter: ObamaCare bill: 2,032 Palin book: 39.3
On a per-page basis, that is, the AP devoted 52 times as much manpower to the memoir of a former Republican officeholder as to a piece of legislation that will cost trillions of dollars and an untold number of lives.
That's what they call accountability journalism.
'nuff said!!!
Bump Dat...
Defrauding the SSA?
Sounds like something that could fall under "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" to me.
I hear you.
btw, re that link to the Hasan connection, I only heard it once, but that was enough...
Seems he took note of what the returned soldiers were telling him while they were in his 'care' and his intention was to keep records of their 'confessions' so that he could have them prosecuted for war-crimes.
Just a brief comment on the Australian news, never to be mentioned again.
I'll take 'The US is broke, our "friends" the Saudis bailed us out, and as a condition we got Zero for 200', Alex.
google is your friend
According to the Social Security Administration web site, the highest possible number for the first three digits at present is 772. Thus, at least the Social Security numbers connected to the Utah and Missouri addresses (beginning with 799, 901, and 999) are all invalid.
Draw whatever conclusion you wish, but most likely someone who is unfamiliar with the numbering system fabricated those bogus SS numbers (as well as, in all probability, phony addresses) under the name Barack Obama.
Birth certificates issued in the era in which Obama was born did not generally contain a baby's SS #. Until relatively recently, an American citizen wasn't expected to apply for a Social Security number as a baby. The most common practice was that a Social Security number was applied for in preparation for employment.
I am about BO's age, and I can state that this is correct. I did not have my SS number printed on my birth certificate. As I recall, I applied for the card around the time I was in college.
Ive never witnessed an internet and press scrubbed the way it has been during this election run
Because it has never happened before. It was an incredible thing to watch. What was really interesting was to go back and look at the screen shots I had of things they later scrubbed. After a few months a pattern began to emerge and it was blatantly obvious they wanted his past with ACORN and SEIU hidden, as well as many things that had to do with his early years as a senator in IL.
Google and I parted ways during the election. This is now my friend.
This is creepy. Has this been corroborated by others??
Could these numbers be those of dead people that Grandma would have been able to "borrow?"
And when it became clear to Obama that he was about to win the election, why did he RUSH off to Grandma and then came the sudden death??
Just the other day I was reading about the evidence that his bio-dad may not have been Obama senior; he may have been in the right place and agreed to marry her to give her child a "name." And now this.
It's certainly MORE than enough to make one go "hmmm."
Nothing else he says is true, so why give him a pass on all these facts in his background? We need to keep exposing this. Maybe there is nothing but smoke here, but SOMEONE some day is going to have to get in his face and ask him about these things.
Do you think at this point that maybe Rush Limbaugh would at least COMMENT on this? He doesn't have to give his personal opinion, just mention that people out there have found many social security numbers in the name of Barack Obama, including at his various known addresses. Including while he was a U.S. Senator.
I am NOT giving up! Why bother? if we don't care, who WILL?? This country is about FIGHTING for freedom. If they want a fight, they will get one. It's frustrating. It's mind boggling. But there are enough of us to fight this. I believe in the Constitution. I believe in freedom. I will not lay down.
How many social security numbers?
Good grief, can you even imagine what would happen to one of us if we had more than ONE SS#?
bump to the top!
Do you think at this point that maybe Rush Limbaugh would at least COMMENT on this?
Rush is a MINO ( man in name only!). He has the gonads the size of a dust mite.
By the way...I rarely listen to him anymore. I just got nauseated hearing him call these Marxist-fascists by the misleading term "radical leftist". I thought if I hear "radical leftist" one more time I would puke! Rush makes these enemies of the state sound as harmless as a Norwegian.
LMAO! Kinda hard on the big guy arnt ya?
A little bit!
He and the rest are self-interested actors. They **use** conservatives.
By the way Rush has ignored the Obama eligibility, he as revealed his true character and commitment to conservatism. I conclude that when tyranny comes Rush and the rest of the conservative talk show yappers will use their considerable talents to spit shine the jack boots crushing our necks.
Wow, you've seen Rush's gonads! You must be pretty close to him.
I am a huge fan and he has quoted me from time to time, but I have seen very little of his glorious naked body.
cool, I've never heard of that one
yeah google is biased beyond comprehension, it's surprising to even get results on some searches
I conclude that Rush is a MINO ( man in name only) with gonads the size of a dust mite.
Please see my post # 63 in response to # 11.
Sloppy work.
Just like his "presidency".
Wintertime: I rarely disagree with your posts, but I have to take strenuous exception to this one:
True, Rush will not touch the birther issue (small gonads)
BUT....He is one of the very, very, very, FEW who will say the following every day:
Obama's JOB IS TO DESTROY AMERICA!
I just started (a couple months ago) to listen to him for that very reason. Suggest you tune in for a few programs. If you still decide not to listen to him, well be it, but please don't trash one of the very, very, very FEW in the media with the gonads to voice loudly the true goals of the Obama administration.
I read the report originally where someone found many various addresses, property ownerships and social security for obama, his mother and grandmother. It appeared to be one big money laundering scheme.
Obama's mother was thought to be microfinancing Indonesian landowners. She knew and worked for Geithner's father at the Ford Foundation. Theories abounded that when the loans fell through, they would confiscate the farmners land. Last year Indonesia went through some tough times with land financing. I was wondering if it was similar to ACORN's shuffling to hide the money. Many names, many SSN's, move it around like a shell game.
Orly did pass the information around but it was researched by someone else. Small portion of the information was benign. I was able to track some of the people mentioned thought to be connected. Like one building in New York seemingly had one phone number that was used by multiple people. Some of those people still in business could be found elsewhere. Surreal that the NJ felons were arrested for body parts trafficking because that came up also in the investigation. I said, no way, body parts trafficking, yuck! But yeah, it is being done.
Since the online searches are not always valid for social security numbers I wondered how many were truly Obama's. Then I read Obama used one SSN for his campaign and it was verified by government. But he used a totally different one before.
Those two, like you say, is all that should be needed. The rest could come later. I wonder since illegals often steal SSN, will they let the president of the United states slide also?
My theory on those two SSN's. Obama knew his original was that of a foreign born and it would be known by the number,so he had to steal a natural born SSN for POTUS.
I am sorta shocked at this, "She knew and worked for Geithner's father at the Ford Foundation."
Those marxist commies run in small circles.
You did some good work, work that MSM should be interested in but we will never read or hear a peep about this.
I just hope we aren't totally screwed before we can change things
Ping, didn't know if y'all saw this.
Nothing. They have absolutely nothing.
Unless you buy into the notion that there cannot possibly be different people in this country with similar names.

Unfortunately no, it does not matter.
Barack's Social Security Card
An affidavit, with true and correct copies, of Susan Daniels is here. It was filed by Dr. Orly Taitz in the Barnett v. Obama case. Susan Daniels is a private investigator, licensed by the State of Ohio.
In her affidavit, Daniels states that she has located Barack Obama's Social Security Number. She states it was issued between 1977 and 1979 in the State of Connecticut. She states that it is the only Social Security Number Barack Obama ever used.
The number assigned to Barack Obama "appears to be associated with someone born in the year 1890."

I do listen to Rush's complete programs by way of his archives.
Fact is I rarely click on the archives. But..Hey...Last week I did listen to Monday and Wednesday's program. First time in many many weeks.
Perhaps the suits should be focused on everyone who is suspected of knowing. If the energy is switched to individuals and anything connecting them to information perhaps that is the route. Sue them and tie them up in court orders and perhaps one can unravel the truth that way.

Newcastleton traditional Music Festival1st-3rd July, 2011
The Newcastleton Festival competition holds classes for novice and open border pipes, usually on the afternoon of the Saturday of the Festival
Details from the website:
For the Competition Rules visit http://www.newcastleton.com/rules.html
"The Newcastleton Traditional Music Festival is probably the longest continuously running music festival in Scotland.
Founded in 1970, the festival revolves around a series of competitions (mainly on Saturday), loosely linked by dances, organised ceilidhs and singarounds on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Non-combatants create ad-hoc sessions in all possible locations and visitors are more than welcome at every venue.
One of the most popular events is the Grand Winners' Concert on Saturday night, featuring the best of the day's competitors interspersed with passing musicians who failed to escape the press-gang!
Although the hotels and B&Bs in the village tend to be booked well in advance, ample camping space is available. So we strongly advise festival-goers who are looking for a softer bed to consult our accommodation supremo whose telephone number is on the 'Accommodation' page of this website.
Visitors with children should note that we run a Children's Workshop on Sunday morning to enable harassed parents to pack at leisure whilst their offspring are entertained, possibly educated and lightly fed."

English weather and a slim figure combine to cover royal baby bump as Duchess Kate spends day at the races.
Like sister Pippa Middleton yesterday, Duchess Kate and husband Prince William turned up at a horse racing meet today in England, where she glowed in a dusky pink coat that completely camouflaged whatever baby bump she has at more than five months pregnant.
"Kate's in the pink!" gushed the Daily Mail, describing the Joseph peachy-pink coat, and her boots, bag, gloves, tights and bow-trimmed Betty Boop hat in dark brown. The coat matched her "healthy complexion," the paper reported approvingly.
From the pictures, both looked happy and relaxed. She has clearly recovered from the acute morning sickness that put her in the hospital late last year, but the cold English weather and her slim figure have combined to ensure few glimpses of the royal baby bump. The baby is due in the summer.
The couple were attending the National Hunt meet in the spa town of Cheltenham in Gloucestershire, about 100 miles west of London. The National Hunt is one of the most important events on the U.K.'s horse racing calendar and today was the fourth day of the meet.
The former Kate Middleton's sister, Pippa, 29, appeared at the meet Thursday dressed in a mustard yellow coat and a big Russian-style fur hat, accompanied by a handsome pal who was not her boyfriend.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived in time to see an afternoon steeplechase to cheer on a competing horse owned by cousin-in-law Mike Tindall, married to Zara Phillips, the equestrian daughter of equestrian Princess Anne who won an Olympic medal during the Summer Olympics in London.
Anne also was at the races today. An estimated 200,000 people were expected to attend the four-day event.
Although the day at the races was a "private" engagement, nonetheless captured by scores of photographers on the scene, the Cambridges are due to participate in a public event on Sunday, visiting the 1st Battalion Irish Guards at their barracks for the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade.
William is a colonel in the regiment and Kate will hand out the traditional shamrock sprigs to officers and guardsmen.

May be the OP should talk more about the proposed business plan-quality, quantity, etc.
I'm curious about In-N-Out. Could you explain what the lessons are that no one learns?
You never hear them talking about banging their boyfriend or girlfriend.
Isn't Chicago thin crust style consumed more than deep dish anyways?Not sure it even matters. Assuming a NY-Style place in Chi-Town is making a moderately good product, people will eat it. It is pizza, afterall. --K
I could definitely see walking down Michigan Ave. and stopping into a NY slice joint. Out in the 'burbs might be another story...unless you were located in a mall or something like that. You would die a quick death in some neighborhoods.
You mean Nate was serious about doing this? Well...then that changes everything. IMHO...location, location, location (for this venture) Hope he has some deep pockets...
Chicagoans are very passionate about there food over here and they truly despise of anything NY.
Okay, thanks for the In-N-Out information. That might be unusual behavior where you are, but what you described is normal for where I am.
As the old saying goes in the U.S., the customer is king.In Japan, the saying is that the customer is God.
I hope I get to experience Japan someday. Sounds like it'll feel like being in a giant In-N-Out Burger.
As is customary in the United States, the worker doesn't get paid enough or treated with enough respect by their superiors to care if the customer is a king, a god, or some a-hole chump. The typical American worker doesn't get paid enough to pay their bills, even though there's plenty to go around. (Yeah, I know it's worse in a few other countries, but that doesn't make it acceptable, especially because a handful of ultra-wealthy scumbags have 100,000 times more than they could ever need, thanks to the hard work of people who have nothing.)Even though I'd prefer to be treated like a somewhat valuable customer when I go to Burger King, I can certainly understand why it doesn't happen. But since I already know it's not gonna happen before I make a conscious decision to eat at either Burger King or somewhere else, I choose not to eat at Burger King. I have no need to wait in line for 10 or 15 minutes, then give my order to someone who hates their job and their customers, wait another ten minutes for my microwaved, processed "food," wait in the line again because they got my order wrong, wait again for different food to be reheated and packaged, and then eat the groady crap in a dirty dining room.Why would I pay for that? I don't. I refuse to. And it's not just Burger King; it's almost every fast food joint. And it happens because the shareholders would rather steal from their employees and customers than actually earn their inflated income. It happens because the people who work at these places allow it to happen. It happens because the American people have grown to accept disgusting, overpriced food, and horrible service as the norm.But I can't blame the employees for doing a horrible job at places like Burger King because they have no incentive to care how well they do their job. No matter how good a job they do, they know they're still gonna have to do the work of two or three people for minimum wage.Fortunately, in one region of the United States, good workers and smart consumers have a choice to avoid that kind of experience, thanks to In-N-Out Burger (which is not a corporation). And that's why In-N-Out is packed from open to close, in over 300 different locations. When you do things right, and when you're not greedy, you receive so much more than when you cut corners and try to steal from everyone. In-N-Out has figured this out and given the rest of the United States a perfect model to learn from, yet the rest of the United States refuses to learn. It's the American Way.I figured it out on my own that this kind of business model works, and then I confirmed it by using In-N-Out Burger as a case study, informally. I don't know of any other company in the United States that operates with this kind of business model, although Cheesecake Factory comes close (and REI used to come close). I've wanted, for so long, to open a pizzeria using the same business model, mostly because I can probably do it better than just about everyone. Unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it, simply because I don't have any money.If I was able to open a pizzeria, I would pay my workers a better hourly wage than I would pay myself in the beginning, if not for a long time after the beginning. (By choice; not because there isn't enough revenue coming in to pay myself, which is why most independent pizzeria owners pay themselves less than they pay their staff.) I would treat my people how I've never been treated at any job I've ever had. If I somehow make what appears to be a bad hire, I'd make sure the person knows what I expect from them before making the decision to fire them (because I may not have trained them right). And if they still don't get it after re-training, see ya.I'm a lead-by-example kind of guy, whereas most Americans are "Do as I say, not as I do" people.Obviously Bob and I both figured out on our own that you are not in the United States. (I wrote my post before I saw Bob's.) It wasn't difficult.I hope I get to experience Japan someday. Sounds like it'll feel like being in a giant In-N-Out Burger.
If you worked for me now, you'd find that I'm the most focused, cost monitoring, hard-ass you'd ever meet. You and your employees will be happier and more successful.------
. . . spoken like a bright-eyed college student who's loaded with lots of great theory but little experience.
I once thought as you did and nearly lost my ass in my first business by grossly overpaying a crew who simply couldn't take enough and always wanted more.
Why would I pay people more than they're worth?People who make me money are worth money to me. Treating them with respect helps, too.If you suck at doing the job I hired you to do, let me try to help you do a better job because maybe I didn't train you right. But if you still suck after I've given you my full attention and re-trained you, see ya. It costs a lot of money and mental energy to constantly have to hire and train new people due to high turnover.For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
The [In-N-Out] menu cries-out for a home-run chicken sandwich.
The only point I'm politely trying to make is that some of your posted opinions and advice to others for running a business may change once you actually open your own shop, hire employees, and manage it on daily basis. I know my outlook on business operations and leadership certainly is different now than when I began.
Comparing the way a big franchise pays their employees vs doing the same for a single unknown restaurant is apples and oranges. Franchises can afford to do that because they have deeper pockets for advertising to bring more customers in to offset that. An unknown place on the other hand should be pumping their money into advertising to get their name out there because the 1st few yrs are critical. Obv u want good employees but with the way the economy is right now most people are happy to just have a job.

J+J Flooring Group Releases Two NSF Sustainability-Verified Environmental Product Declarations
Recognized in the new LEED V4 Green Building Rating System Standard Drafts, EPDs provide a science-based, internationally-recognized reporting method for the environmental impact of a product throughout its entire life cycle
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — NSF Sustainability, a division of global independent public health organization NSF International, has verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) for J+J Flooring Group's Kinetex® flooring product and Invision brand modular styles that use eKo® backing. EPDs are essential transparent product environmental attribute reports used by government purchasers, green builders, architects and interior designers to make more informed product decisions in selecting carpet and flooring products that meet their environmental purchasing goals.
"EPDs benefit us as well as our customers. The rigor of completing an EPD helps us pinpoint where our materials and processes have the most environmental impact, allowing us to continue to move toward solutions with a smaller footprint," said Russ Delozier, Director of Sustainability, J+J Flooring Group. "Externally, these EPDs allow our customers to make more environmentally educated decisions regarding the flooring products they buy."
NSF Sustainability provides independent and science-based verification of EPDs, which offer an international standard of communicating a product's environmental impact throughout its entire life cycle from cradle to grave. EPDs are recognized globally, and as a preferred reporting tool in the new LEED V4 Green Building Rating System Standard Drafts expected out later this year. J+J Flooring Group expects to register additional EPDs that will cover up to 95 percent of its product line in the coming months.
"By releasing a NSF Sustainability-verified EPD for their Kinetex® and eKo® Modular products, J+J Flooring Group is taking an important step in providing science-based environmental information about their products. Their customers also benefit from data that is objective, neutral and transparent," said Tom Bruursema, General Manager of NSF International's Sustainability division.
Kinetex® is an advanced textile composite flooring that provides an alternative to hard-surface products and contains at least 50 percent recycled content. Invision's eKo modular backing is PVC-free, contains recycled content and provides closed-loop recyclability. Both products are also certified to the Platinum level of NSF/ANSI140, the American national standard for sustainable carpet.
The NSF National Center for Sustainability Standards (NCSS) facilitated the development of the flooring Product Category Rule (PCR) utilizing an open consultative process with participation from an expert panel of floor manufacturers, suppliers, regulatory agencies, life cycle practitioners, trade associations and end users. PCRs define which data is used in a life cycle assessment (LCA) and how the data is collected and reported in the resulting EPD. The LCA measures inputs, outputs and environmental impacts of a product across its lifespan from cradle to grave.
The NCSS has developed PCRs and American National Sustainability Standards for a wide range of product categories, including chemicals, commercial and institutional furniture, carpets, wallcovering, textiles, flooring, building products and materials, and is developing others for broad industries including water treatment products and chemicals.
NSF Sustainability helps companies build a portfolio of sustainable products and spans the complete PCR/LCA/EPD process. NSF can support PCR development, verify LCA and EPD data, and provide third-party verification of final EPD reports. For more information on NSF Sustainability, visit nsfsustainability.org or contact Dennis Gillan at 734-476-2543 or email@example.com.

The Itawamba Agricultural High School Indian Players, currently in the middle of raising funds for a trip to the Orpheum in Memphis, have rerouted their efforts to support Smithville instead.
"I think everybody knows this is the right thing to do," said Vickie Blake, drama department director.
She said the group is working to return money to donors who have already given, but many have already requested that money go to help the people of Smithville.
The proceeds of a fundraising block party the group plans to hold on Saturday in downtown Fulton will now go to aid Smithville as well.
"We hope everyone will turn out to aid with this effort," Blake said.

Category: INTEL VIIV
Intel have released a full specification list for Viiv-compliance, which explicitly states Microsoft's Media Center Edition is essential for Viiv capability.
Many had speculated that Microsoft's absence from Viiv's launch yesterday meant that there had been a falling out between the two companies. However, Intel said that Microsoft is an integral part of the new platform.
"We've chosen Windows Media Center as what we think is the best software", said Dan Anderson, public relations manager of Intel.
"It's dependent on software now. But it's really a question for Microsoft, they have a Viiv- ready program. What we are launching is as much a new way of doing things as it is a specific piece of hardware", Anderson said.
However, when Windows Vista is released later this year, a new version dubbed 'Viiv 1.5', will be ready to support it. This suggests that the Viiv specification would need to change to incorporate different operating systems.
Anderson was unable to comment on whether this meant Apple machines would ever achieve Viiv compliance, and added that Intel 'didn't have any desire' to release their own media centre software.
Anderson also added that customers don't need to use the onboard sound and vision to be Viiv compliant: "It's a choice issue, we have a certain set of specifications to make sure people get a good experience, but there's room for modifications. If they want to add a video card and sound card there's nothing stopping them", he said
The full list of Viiv specifications is as follows: · Intel dual-core processors: Intel Pentium D processor, Intel Pentium processor Extreme Edition, or Intel Core Duo· The Intel 945 Express Chipset family, the Intel 955X Express Chipset, Intel 975X Express Chipset family, plus ICH7-DH or ICH7-MDH· Intel PRO/1000 PM or Intel PRO/100 VE/VM network connection · Required support for 5.1 (and up to 7.1) surround sound audio · Intel Quick Resume Technology Drivers that will enable consumers to instantly turn on and off the PC like at TV with the touch of a button (after initial boot-up, when enabled)· Intel Matrix Storage technology for increased storage performance enhanced protection for valuable digital memories when multiple hard drives are included· Graphics driver (for integrated graphics platforms only)· Media shell that enables consumers to easily enjoy their content using a remote control while sitting about 10 feet away from their PC or TVs · Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 Update Rollup 2.

Flames Weekend Guide, November 29 2012
Ryan Pike
November 29 2012 03:14PM
The month of November ends this weekend, bringing with it a harsh slap in the face, as we all collectively realize that we've missed the entirety of the first two months of the NHL season.
While the rich players and owners fight like little kids, the Flames prospects – closer to little kids than the pro players, age-wise – continue to play hockey like they're supposed to. While we're not sure if any of the Calgary farm-hands believe in Santa Claus, both them and us are secretly hoping somebody – magical or otherwise – brings us NHL hockey for Christmas, Hanukkah or any other wonderful wintertime holiday.
Fresh off a successful five-game road trip, the Heat return home this weekend to kick off a four-game homestand. They host the Hamilton Bulldogs, the affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens, on Friday and Saturday from the Abbotsford Sports and Entertainment Centre. The Heat visited the Bulldogs at the end of October, losing 2-1 in regulation.
Sven Baertschi and Roman Horak haven't scored as much as they did earlier in the season, but guys like Brett Olson and Ben Street have gotten hot. Depth is nice, isn't it?
Down in Utah, Calgary's ECHL farm team hosts the expansion San Francisco Bulls on Friday and Saturday. Bryan Cameron and Mitch Wahl continue to have respectable ECHL numbers, while defender James Martin seems to be doing just fine as well.
As usual, there's a whole lot going on in the Canadian Hockey League.
Ryan Culkin and the Quebec Remparts host the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies on Friday and visit the Baie-Comeau Drakkar on Sunday. Culkin has 18 assists this year.
The Windsor Spitfires (and Patrick Sieloff) play three games in four nights, hosting the Barrie Colts on Thursday, visiting the Kitchener Rangers on Friday and then going home to host the Ottawa 67s on Sunday. Luckily for them 67's phenom Sean Monahan is suspended.
In the Dub, Laurent Brossoit looks to bolster his resume for Team Canada as he faces Kootenay on Friday and Lethbridge on Sunday. I'd expect back-up Tristan Jarry to start one of these games, but the Oil Kings remain just behind the Hitmen for first in their division and probably want to make up some ground.
Fresh off receiving a series of sanctions from the WHL, the Portland Winterhawks tangle with the Seattle Thunderbirds on Friday and the Everett Silvertips on Saturday. Tyler Wotherspoon remains the WHL's leader in plus/minus, for what that's worth.
On a roll with Brent Sutter back behind the bench, the Red Deer Rebels have won five straight since his return. They'll try to keep that going against the Medicine Hat Tigers on Friday and the Saskatoon Blades on Saturday. The Tigers may have Calgary-born scoring sensation Hunter Shinkaruk back in their line-up this weekend, so the Rebels may have a big challenge on their hands. Friday night's clash will be on Shaw TV, though.
Coda Gordon and Swift Current will play Spokane on Friday and the Brandon Wheat Kings on Saturday. Meanwhile, Vancouver and Brett Kulak hope to turn things around this weekend as they face Everett on Friday and Tri-City on Saturday.
One week before Boston College and Providence College collide in epic college action, the two teams prepare with weekend sets against other rivals. The 10-1-0 Boston College tries to continue their winning ways against Boston University on Friday and Saturday. Johnny Gaudreau has scored at least a point in every single game this year, by the way, while Bill Arnold has scored in about half of them.
Providence College plays a home-and-home on Friday and Saturday against Merrimack. The Friars are just over .500 on the year, while Mark Jankowski and Jon Gillies look to maintain their consistency. Both have been good this year.
Elsewhere: John Ramage and Wisconsin face Denver on Friday and Saturday, Nick Larson's Notre Dame club faces Lake Superior State on Friday and Saturday, and Matthew Deblouw looks to continue his superb freshman campaign with Michigan State as they face Ohio State on Friday and Saturday.
Avangard Omsk plays HC Barys, the lone KHL team from Kazakhstan, on Friday. The Leopards are scrambling to stay in the last Eastern playoff spot, while Avangard leads their division. Karri Ramo should likely start.
HIFK Helsinki plays JYP on Friday night and the Blues on Saturday. Joni Ortio continues to be one of the better (if not the best) guys on HIFK, while Markus Granlund only played a few minutes in Tuesday's HIFK loss. No word on why that was, though. In the KHL Roman Cervenka has two points in 5 games with Lev Praha, although word is now he's sitting out with a minor injury for the next few games.
Chris Butler is in Sweden and should be joining his new club, Karlskrona, as soon as Visa stuff gets worked out. Karlskrona plays on Thursday night (against Djurgardens IF) and then on Sunday against Mikael Backlund's VIK Vasteras. Butler will reportedly be practicing with his team but still needs clearance to play. Backlund will be playing for Vasteras either way, though.
"visit the Baie-Comeau Armada"
is this supposed to be "Baie-Comeau Drakkar", or "Blainville-Boisbriand Armada"?
also, I find it hilarious that Pat Sieloff has the same stat line as Griffin Reinhart.
Markus Granlund actually played about 18 minutes tuesday. He did get leveled somewhere in the game but continued playing.
There's been concerns about him missing his brother. I've watched most of the games and the only thing he seems to be missing is creativity and strength. He drives the play up but then gets stopped by defensman or stuck in the corners and stripped of the puck.
He may look ineffective but so does everybody else on the team too.
November 30 2012, 12:15AM
Board play and physical play looked like issues to me when I saw Granlund live in the WJC last year as well.
November 30 2012, 01:31AM
Reinhart was and is a mediocre pick. The kid is a Pelechian level skater.
Fresh from tonights game between JYP and HIFK in Jyväskylä Finland.
Joni Ortio was standing tall as usual with little help. 38 saves, 4 goals allowed. He denied Lars Eller in a penalty shot late in the game.
Markus Granlund was again trying hard. 6 shots on net and 16,26 of ice time. He seemed to be playing with a little more edge in a couple of shifts. Line centered by Mathieu Perreault and young Thomas Nykopp on the other wing did push the game into north end of the ice constantly.
Mathieu Perreault was very interesting addition in the lineup.

St. John's First Universal Letter 3:9-22
Prokeimenon. Grave Mode.
Psalm 63.11,1
The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord.
Verse: Oh God, hear my cry.
BRETHREN, no one born of God commits sin; for God's nature abides in him, and he cannot sin because he is born of God. By this it may be seen who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not do right is not of God, nor he who does not love his brother. For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, and not be like Cain who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous. Do not wonder, brethren, that the world hates you. We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death. Any one who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But if any one has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or speech but in deed and in truth. By this we shall know that we are of the truth, and reassure our hearts before him whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God; and we receive from him whatever we ask.

Robin Brownlee
October 11 2010 03:43PM
The Edmonton Oilers are 2-0, but they could easily be 0-2. If it wasn't for Nikolai Khabibulin, who swiped a couple of points in a 3-2 win over the Florida Panthers Sunday, the mood around town might be considerably different today than what it is.
I'm no deep-thinker, as readers here can attest, but it seems to me that a day -- Thanksgiving Day -- that has many of us booked off work and settling in for a feast, or maybe just recovering from one, is as good a time as any for us to take a minute to think about all we have to be grateful for, that 2-0 record aside.
That's not business as usual for me because I'm too often as finicky and entitled and me-me-me as anybody you'll ever meet (maybe you're guilty of that, too), but every now and then it's probably a good idea to do it. For anybody looking for comment or analysis regarding the Oilers in the rest of this item -- funny how fans expect that on a hockey website -- you'll want to click through because this isn't that.
Just some thoughts . . .
As a creature of habit, I've felt a bit displaced on game nights at Rexall Place because I no longer have one of the prime seats up in the press box reserved for me. The best seats are for the beat writers and columnists from both daily newspapers. I occupied those seats for 20 years or so, alongside Jim Matheson and Terry Jones (tight fit).
Now? My credentials have landed me down the line with, gulp, junior scribes, internet writers, radio guys and TV types. I'm Robin Friggin' Brownlee, for crying out loud. This will never do.
How my angst must resonate with fans who have to pay to get into the rink, which is something I haven't had to do since I first walked into Rexall Place in 1989. Poor baby.
Just the other day, I was bemoaning how packed the media parking lot has become in recent years. With the addition of so many outlets in the past 10 years, we're crammed in pretty good. Last thing I need is some knucklehead opening his car door on my ride, Snap. Lose it. Overreact. My parking is free and I still have an A Lot pass. That means I walk 200 feet, at most, to the door.
I've been pissing and moaning since the Oilers started charging for the pre-game meal about five years ago. It used to be free. It's an even worse deal for me now because I can't (or won't) load up my plate like I used to, as reporters are prone to do, now that I'm on this weight-loss kick. I can't even get my money's worth. What a rip-off.
The meal is $10, including all the trips to the buffet, beverages and desserts you want. That's less than fans who've already paid for tickets and parking shell out for a hot dog and a beer. How does $10 sound to the family guy bringing his wife and two kids to the game?
I don't miss the travelling I used to do with the Oilers. Too many long days. Security since the World Trade Centre attacks has made travel, even by charter, a pain in the ass. I don't know how Rod Phillips did it for 37 years. I had no misgivings getting off that merry-go-round in 2007.
Oh, what a grind it was, free hotels or not.
Poor me. Once you've been to Chicago or New York or Los Angeles or Miami 10 or 15 or 20 times, it's run-of-the-mill, right? I thought so, until I started booking (and paying) for similar trips for family vacations and the like. The hotel costs how much a night (and we aren't talking the Ritz-Carlton)? The airfare is what? Business-class seating and free booze and food on the flights, though, right?
Without the salary that comes with being a senior writer at the dailies, I've had to hustle to make up for it, taking freelance jobs that see me working for two or three different outlets on any given day. That includes writing here for Oilersnation, Canadian Press or NHL.com.
Twice a week, I do radio on The Jason Gregor Show on TEAM 1260. Gregor makes it fun and he's patient, considering I'm OK at best on-air. Still, I get pissed off sometimes that I've got to switch gears so often, depending on who I'm writing for. I don't make as much as I used to.
There's a woman named Ofelia who works at the gas bar where I fill up my cars. Ofelia has worked there for several years and, for a year or so until we got a full-time nanny, she supplemented her income from that with babysitting my son Sam.
I stopped in today and, as usual, she was working. Ofelia, in her 60s, takes all the shifts nobody else wants. "Say hello to Sam for me," she said. "Happy Thanksgiving." On days when I write a story for any one of CP, NHL.com or Oilersnation and do a radio show, I make more in five or six hours than Ofelia does in a week. I'll bet a lot of you do, too.
I don't have a lot of patience -- there's a news bulletin -- for some of the comments people write here. Who are these knuckleheads with fake names questioning my take on things? I don't need the aggravation.
Last night at the game on the way up the stairs to the press box, a big guy in an Oilers jersey asked, "What do you think happens tonight, Robin?" I liked it that he recognized me, and he didn't even say, "Didn't you used to be Robin Brownlee?"
The other day in the deli section at the supermarket, I asked a clerk why he was out of the sandwich meat I wanted, my expression making it obvious I wasn't impressed. "I know that voice," he said. "The Gregor show, right?" He went to the back and came out with the product I was looking for. "I really like that show," he said.
There's a lot of people out there who do more important and meaningful work than I do. That list is too long to even contemplate. Nobody knows who they are. Nobody outside their place of employment or immediate family says, "Great job. I love your work." Along the way, if the flipside is that a few people think I suck at it, that's not so bad, is it?
When I got back from the game Sunday after a long day, the exterior lights of the house where on. My wife, Analyn, got into the habit of turning them on to welcome me back home during the years I spent on the road.
It was Analyn's way of making sure I knew she was thinking about me, just in case she was asleep when I got back. Even now, though I'm gone for hours instead of days and weeks, she turns those lights on. Hours or weeks, I can't wait to get home to her.
When our oldest son Michael began his first year at the University of Alberta in September, I almost shat myself when we got the prices of tuition and books. Seems there's been a few increases since I faked my way into journalism school. Michael wants to go into medicine. Analyn and I will be paying for this until I'm 117.
Michael spends every week night studying in his room downstairs, sessions interrupted only by occasional breaks that see him wrestling with Sam or peeling paint off the walls with his guitar. Mercy, the kid can play -- like on my 50th birthday when he cranked out a rendition of Sweet Child of Mine as a present in front of a house full of people.
Michael bangs out wicked riffs and honour-student marks with the same regularity. He's a wonderful brother to Sam and a great kid. You can't put a price on that. Then, there's Sam. You know his story. I can barely talk or write about that little boy without tearing up or getting all goofy, and that buggers up the Big Bad Bronte image good and plenty. So, I'll stop right here.
Happy Thanksgiving Day.

Robin - Great article. it's amazing how much better life is when when we know what's important and get to focus on that.
Pelhem Grenville - I too remember hearing about Jordan and how my heart went out to you. I didn't have anywhere to send my condolences back then, and I certainly wish to send them to you even now. To this day I have one of your photos hanging on my wall.
btw - great nickname - any relation?
nice article Robin. For most of us, life is good if we just stop long enough to realize it. I guess that's what this Thanksgiving day thing is all about.
EDIT - this double posted so I figured I would just throw out a GO OILERS since I haven't typed that yet today. Cheers.

There is a soft side of you in there Robin. Great read!
From my estimation there is only a few dozen that actually use our real names here. Kinda sad when you think about it. Wayne could probably let us know. I'm not scared to be a nation follower so why should you?
I've been rocking the real name since day one!
It has been a very sad Thanksgiving for good friends of ours who lost their little boy from a preventable accident last week. My wife has been with her friend during this terrible time for her and her husband and kids and the pain and sorrow is unbelievable.
I'm daddy daycaring for my two little one's and no matter how flustered I am getting or how cranky they get I still count my lucky stars every time I lay eyes on my boys or hear them. I can't even imagine the pain our friends are going through and this will be the toughest funeral I have ever been to.
My thoughts are with all of you who have experienced something terrible and tragic in your lives.
I am so very thankful for my two healthy boys and my wonderful wife.
Thanks to all of you, and ON as well, for being my nighttime, and sometimes daytime, entertainment and vent place.
October 13 2010, 06:45PM
Great and timely article, Robin, but I dont think youre "Ok at best on air" I work up north and have to miss way too many radio shows, and Ive always looked forward to the days I know youre on. Have a good one

Boston Marathon bombing suspects appear to be only the latest who were radicalized with help from the Web.
Before Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab tried to detonate explosives hidden in his underwear on board a Northwest Airlines flight, he visited Islamic chat rooms where he wrote intimately about his struggle between liberalism and extremism.
Before Nidal Hasan was charged with killing 13 soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas, he posted about suicide bombings and exchanged e-mails with Osama bin Laden acolyte Anwar al-Awlaki.
And before Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev allegedly placed bombs on Boston's Boylston Street, Tamerlan watched YouTube videos of extremist Muslim preachers, and possibly plucked the recipe for a pressure-cooker bomb right off a virtual shelf.
The Internet has become crucial in the evolution of modern terrorism, experts say. Terrorism today is largely leaderless, executed by an informal network of disaffected misfits. Cloaked with a veil of anonymity, the discontent radicalize with the help of the Web's reassuring echo-chamber — hatred is stoked and jihad justified.
The Boston Marathon bombing appears to be a pernicious reminder that the Internet has extended the battlefield in the war on terror.
Terrorism expert Mitch Silber said that beginning in 2007, signs began to emerge that radicalization on the Internet was happening in the U.S. Silber co-authored the New York Police Department report, "Radicalization in the West: The Homegrown Threat."
"There was no outside ideological sanctuary for the Fort Dix 6 or the Times Square bomber," he said. "They learned about radical ideology online, and they self-propelled to launch terrorist plots."
Since then, Silber said, there have been half a dozen plots in which individuals were radicalized with the help of the Internet, which has become a vital accelerant for radical ideas. In the 2007 Fort Dix plot, six radical Islamist men conspired to attack U.S. military personnel in New Jersey. In the 2010 Times Square plot, Faisal Shahzad tried to detonate an explosives-filled SUV near the entrance to Manhattan's Minskoff Theatre.
The Tsarnaev brothers' activity on the Internet suggests they learned about radical ideology online, and had an interest in extreme Islamist figures years before the Boston attack.
U.S. officials said Tamerlan Tsarnaev frequently looked at extremist sites, including Inspire magazine, an English-language online publication produced by al-Qaeda's Yemen affiliate. Instructions on how to make bombs out of pressure cookers similar to those used in the Boston explosions were published in the magazine.
In August 2012, Tamerlan Tsarnaev created a YouTube channel with links to a number of videos with ties to radical Islamist causes. One features the firebrand Australian Muslim cleric Feiz Mohammed, who has called for Muslim youth to become holy warriors.
The SITE Intelligence group, which monitors Islamist websites, said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev followed someone on Twitter with the account "Al_firdausiA," which translates to "the highest level of Paradise, Allah willing." Among that user's tweets was a message encouraging readers to listen to an audio series by al-Awlaki.
While hard truths on the brothers' radicalization remain elusive, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told law enforcement officials the brothers acted on their own.
Rabbi Abraham Cooper, who supervises the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Digital Terrorism and Hate Project, said almost all recent terrorist attacks on American soil have been "lone wolf" — individuals who self-radicalized, often with the help of the Internet, and either plotted or committed violence absent a direct command.
The Internet, Cooper said, offers a space where malcontents can find others who share their radical beliefs.
"There is a sense of empowerment and encouragement there that was completely non-existent before the Internet," Cooper said.
What many people may not know about the history of hate online, Cooper said, is the first groups to pitch their tent were Neo-Nazi, not Islamic-fundamentalist.
"For the first time, they didn't have to go through a producer of a show to get on, they didn't have to pass muster with a letter to the editor. They could do what they wanted and get to young people directly," Cooper said.
Islamic extremists took a look at tactics being used by these groups, who were anti-Muslim, and co-opted them, he said. Al-Qaeda now uses the Internet to target young Muslims all over the Western world.
The question becomes how to combat such an amorphous threat.
Cooper said there needs to be an organized "plan where we maximize freedom of speech but do a better job of interdicting efforts to promote and execute terrorism." Internet giants, governments from different democracies and free speech advocates need to sit down around a table together.
"The logical next step is not handing over privacy to government," Cooper said. "It's to work together to degrade the subculture of digital terrorism online."

Cute for Fall!
"Such a cute shoe. Had to purchase online because the brand is not carried in stores. Thus I was a bit skeptical especially since the brand&shoe does not come in half sizes. I read other reviews of this brand, which stated they run large. I'm normally a 6.5, so I ordered a size 6. They are a little snug at first, but it's nothing I can't handle!"

Colored denim isn't going anywhere this spring. The opposite is true. Brands are releasing colored denim in so many choices, it's becoming almost impossible to pick. One brand that's not helping to quell this denim-collecting desire is Bella Dahl. But it's not just the colors that have us craving their jeans. They pride themselves on soft-touch fabrications, meaning you can spend all day in their spectrum of brights and you'll have both your style and your comfort down. Aside from brightly colored denim shorts, they're also offering a few wishlist-worthy chambray pieces, like a strapless dress and chambray lounge pants with a braided denim belt. We snuck a peak at their spring 2012 collection and posted some of our favorite styles below.
