Laddy, is that you?
Robin Brownlee
September 04 2008 11:45PM
The smile looked familiar, but I had to do a double-take in the dressing room the other day when Ladislav Smid walked in with his equipment bag slung over his shoulder.
As jacked as he looked with those ridiculously big guns hanging out of his shirt where most people have arms, Smid could have passed for Russian bad guy Ivan Drago from Rocky IV if you'd have thrown in some peroxide and one of those Vanilla Ice-style flat top haircuts.
Instead of muttering "I must break you," as Drago did, Smid happily sat down for a few minutes to answer questions -- the most obvious one, given the ripped upper-body the 22-year-old Czech is boasting these days, would start with, "Laddy, WTF... ?"
Smid, who began the 2007–08 season listed at six-foot-three and 204 pounds in the Edmonton Oilers media guide, is today walking around at 225 pounds -- none of it put on using media pilates, otherwise known as the buffet table.
It turns out a summer spent doing rehab on his right knee after having arthroscopic surgery to repair meniscus damage ended up with him hitting the iron in the gym big time.
Getting pumped
"The doctor told me to do some upper-body work," explains Smid of a regimen that clearly included lifted everything he could get his mitts on. "I couldn't really do my legs for like a month-and-a-half. I feel good."
Smid, a bit of a pencil-neck when he arrived with Joffrey Lupul as part of the Chris Pronger trade in July 2006, stands to be considerably more persuasive in those goalmouth shoving matches and post-whistle scrums he favours from now on.
With the size and strength to back-up the aggression he's shown in the past, Smid's giving himself a chance to make an impression on a blueline that's considerably deeper than when he arrived.
One look at the roster, which includes Sheldon Souray, Lubomir Visnovsky, Denis Grebeshkov, Tom Gilbert, Steve Staios and newly acquired Jason Strudwick, and it's obvious Smid is going to need every edge he can get to stick in the top six.
It's equally apparent the Oilers have plenty of puck-movers in Souray, Visnovsky, Grebeshkov and Gilbert. What coach Craig MacTavish needs is, as Lowetide put it in his blog recently, a Charlie Huddy -- a reliable rearguard who'll take care of business in his own end.
Keep 'em honest
"I'm more like a defensive guy," Smid said. "I'm going to try to stay aggressive and be physical. That's all I can do because I think we have enough skilled guys on the back end. We need some guys to be physical, too. Not just Stevie and Shelly."
Having scored 0-4-4 in 65 games last season and with just 3-11-14 in 142 NHL games, Smid hasn't shown many flashes of offensive flair. Then again, with him yet to blow out 23 candles on the cake, we're not looking at a finished product.
I'll give Smid credit, though. If he's smart enough to look at the personnel here now, realize where he has to fit and determined enough to put in the work in the gym, it's all good.
Of course, pushing all that iron won't make him more reliable. As mistake-prone as he's been at times -- Smid is a minus-31 in those 142 games after going minus-15 last season -- there's work to do.
Still, if Smid can be a third-pairing guy and play 15-17 minutes a night, cut down the mistakes and be even more of a menace to opposing forwards in front of Mathieu Garon and Dwayne Roloson, it'll be a step forward.
No fear
"You have to show them you're not scared," smiles Smid, talking about his habit of getting into -- usually starting, the truth be told -- goal-crease skirmishes and the your-momma stuff after the whistle.
"Next time, they're going to think about it if they're going to go in front of the net or not. You have to show that it's going to be tough for them."

Not sure if you noticed Robin, but Fernando is looking like he took out a membership at the same gym Smid did. Good on him. Seems he's gained all his weight back and then some.
September 05 2008, 07:44AM
Nice to hear from the Smid camp, I really hope this guy can blossom into the new Jason Smith type of D-Man. We need a shutdown guy that is young, hope he sticks.
September 05 2008, 08:23AM
Slowly, but surely, Smid transforms himself into the player he is going to be one day, a top pairing NHL defender.
DavidS: Thanks for the tip on Pisani. I saw him in passing at a golf tournament weeks ago, but didn't notice.
I couldn't agree more with Staples about Smid. He has the tools to be a top pairing defender and is too cerebral & coachable to be a minus player or develop holes in his game for long. I see him being a bit like Souray the way Souray came in to the league on a team with little need for offensive defenceman and kind of got pidgeon holed as a stay at home guy for the first part of his career. I think Smid has even more potential.
Hmmm....David S, David Staples, Dav....could they be the same? Nice.

I think Smid has even more potential.
How does Smid's shot compare with Souray's? Just asking.
Smid has a shot?! I thought those were errant passes hitting the goalie once every couple games.
The most important thing Smid needs to develop next IMO is a willingness to have a few more of those goal-crease skirmishes before the damn whistle. "You have to show that it will be tough for them" when it matters.
I do think he's getting it, and it will come. Unless you're Ugly it takes a while to establish yourself as a physical force in this league, and Smid took important steps in this regard last year.
September 05 2008, 11:12AM
I think it's great that Smid's lifting weights because he doesn't have any offensive potential!!!
Dennis: Offence as in putting up points or offence as in moving the puck?
I don't know how many points will come for the kid but considering what he has shown at his age I think he will be a very good puck moving blueliner.
Which of course is the first step in a good offence.
Jonathan: I'm going to assume your question was rhetorical
Dude: I am not Dave, David S, or David Staples but it would be nice to be David Poile or maybe Dave Checketts or even William Davidson pre 2005.
September 05 2008, 12:20PM
Only "David Staples" is David Staples. The rest of us are just dudes.
September 05 2008, 05:53PM
Well, offense is a lot easier to nail down when a guy actually has a shot or knows how to make a pass when inside the other team's blue.
Hey, it's always a moving target when it comes to Smid because people are afraid to shoot straight on just how horse****** Lowe wound up being on that trade.
You had the one-shot scorer in Lupul and the two-way dman in Smid and where are we now in that transaction?
So, just as long as Smid's a likeable fellow, he'll still be in the good books and if he actually happens to work out over a summer, then Boy Howdy!!
Yeah that makes sense.
By that I mean it's totally logical for everyone to judge Smid based on what they figure Lowe should of got for Pronger as opposed to just judging Smid for what he actually is.
Or better yet everyone could judge Smid against Lowe's trade AND the failure that Lupul turned out to be in Oilers silks.
September 05 2008, 08:15PM
and then technicaly Pitkanen. Which has turned out to be Cole. Hmmm..
Really... Pronger for Cole, Smid, and the three picks which turned out to be ??? Does anyone know???
I think the trade wasn't so bad.
September 06 2008, 09:03AM
Rick: Someone on the media -- as if Edm had a Real media -- should judge Lowe.
It isn't that Smid's not worth taking chances on but everytime people happily lower his ceiling, it lets Lowe off the hook.
That's what I think about everytime someone downgrades this kid's potential and smiles while doing so.
BTW, I like the Cole acq. as well but let's remember it's just for one year the way it currently stands.
September 06 2008, 09:58AM
hey smokin ray two of the pronger trades are riley nash 07 first and jordan eberle 08 first not sure who the 2nd was from last year
September 06 2008, 10:01AM
so actually we are looking at eric cole , lady smid, riley nash , jordan eberle and an unknown 2nd for pronger ( not too bad imo)
September 06 2008, 10:09AM
Dennis: Your beef with Lowe and the Pronger trade is obvious -- not to mention premature and poorly thought out. Smid is only 22 and nobody knows how good, or average, he will be two or three seasons from now. As for your "real media" comments, give it a rest. You sound like a frustrated wannabe sports writer -- the media in Edmonton spends all it's time kissing Lowe's ass, right? -- who never made the cut to get into j-school.
I'm not "happily" lowering my expectations of Smid. Him being smart enough to realize that he stacks up as a third-pairing guy on this particular roster at this point in his career and being willing to put in the work to simplify his game and play a certain role is a positive, not a negative. If he's no better than a sixth D man a couple seasons from now, then I'd rate him (or any first-rounder)a bust, but it's too early to do that now.
September 06 2008, 12:14PM
rockin rog:
That second rounder turned into Allan Rourke.
We traded MA Bergeron and our own third rounder in 08 to the Islanders for Denis Grebeshkov. Then, realizing we needed our own draft picks to make offer sheets, the Oilers then traded the second-round pick in 08 they acquired in the Pronger trade to the Islanders for Allan Rourke and our own 3rd round draft pick in 08 back.
Make sense?
September 06 2008, 03:36PM
So, Robin, should we make a date when we can come back here and accurately judge that trade? When will this magical day take place? Does the fact that Pronger helped the Ducks win a Cup factor into this at all? Or that Lupul was turned into one year of Pitkanen and then a year of Cole?
It's two summers later and passing at least partial judgement shouldn't be considered being premature but the fact that you started to get personal tells me more than a little about some exposed nerves.
By the by, years ago I WAS actually accepted to a couple of Journalism schools but they were out of province and I decided not to attend.
Of course, what that has to do with the fact that just about all people in the media DO spend their time kissing Lowe's ass -- as an aside, when was the last time you and Stauffer DID say something about Lowe, I don't really know.
I am SMRT enough to read the dailies and to know criticism when I read it and, son, I just haven't read it.
Well, maybe outside of one Dan Barnes pre-vacation piece that he wrote in the aftermath of the Smyth trade.
September 06 2008, 04:13PM
OK, guys, let's keep it civil. Stop sniping each other. Next comment from anyone taking a cheapshot will be yanked.

An Experian study shows what works in different countries.
Thad Rueter
The holidays have different flavors in different countries, and so do the best tactics for holiday e-mail marketing. For example, retailers hoping to reach consumers in India and France might want to send messages on weekdays instead of weekends, while the opposite holds true for the United States, according to a new study from Experian Marketing Services.
Brands worldwide rely most heavily on discounts, but the type they offer varies. In China, percentage-off campaigns are most common, but in France and New Zealand most offers are for a fixed amount off. Interestingly, in all three of those countries these discount offers drive lower click-through rates than other offers, Experian says.
Experian based its global holiday e-mail study on more than 100,000 campaigns from some 1,000 brands in 10 countries between October 2012 through the end of last year.
"The holiday season is incredibly important and significant to retail brands, as it can often make or break their revenue goals for the year," says Peter DeNunzio, general manager, cross-channel marketing, Experian Marketing Services. "There are significant differences and similarities in customer behaviors and responses among the tactics marketers employ across the various regions. Knowing these behaviors allows global brands to capitalize on varying timing and tactical approaches by market."
Take free shipping, for instance. Though marketers often combine free shipping with discount offers in e-mail—that is, a percentage or dollar amount knocked off a price—consumers in some countries see few shipping teases in their inboxes as the holidays approach. In Spain, 0.5% of campaigns between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31, 2012, included free shipping offers; in the United States, 5.1% of campaigns promoted free shipping. The relatively low percentage in Spain exists despite the "maturity" of the Spanish e-commerce market, Experian says. "Because of this, there is a real 'first mover advantage' in Spain for brands proposing free shipping incentives," the report states.
Spanish consumers are more likely than those in some other countries to receive personalized e-mail messages, though. 13.7% of campaigns directed toward shoppers in that country carried personalized subject lines, compared with 7.4% in the United States and 9.0% in India. But China (27.0%) and France (37.5%) did better on this front. In France, consumers might see e-mails personalized according to gender, first name, child's name, city and other factors, Experian says. The tactic can bring rewards, the report says. Personalized e-mails have a 21.5% unique open rate—defined as "the number of unique subscribers that have opened an HTML-formatted message." In a regular quarterly report from earlier this month, Experian estimated that multichannel retailers had a 16.3% open rate in the first quarter of 2012. In its fourth quarter 2012 report, Experian pegged the open rate for all industries (not just retail) at 23.6%.
The holiday e-mail report also found that:
• E-mails that include messages about loyalty programs "remain the most engaging messages globally," mainly because those e-mails go to what Experian calls "highly engaged consumers who are enrolled in loyalty programs." Such messages also tend to have personalized content.
• Only U.S. and U.K. e-mails offered buy one, get one free offers during the 2012 holiday season. The incentive produced similar results: a unique open rate of 15.5% in the United Kingdom, and 13.9% in the United States.
• Holiday e-mails in the Asia-Pacific region—not all countries there mark the late-year holidays as do Western countries—tend to emphasis "urgency" more than e-mails in other countries. Urgency can include limited-time sales. The report highlighted China, where 7.5% of campaigns focused on urgency—compared with 4.1% in the United States—and produced a 12.5% unique open rate. In the United States, though, such campaigns have a 13.6% unique open rate.

Welcome to our new member.
And I would like to add a guide to the division sig/button making... division sig/button, should have the Division number written on it to clarify which division it is [it can just be numbers like trebay57 division 13 sig or the division flower/katakana symbol]. If not, it will not be count as division sig, okay?

How central should hedonic adaptation be to the establishment of sentencing policy?
In earlier work, Professors Bronsteen, Buccafusco, and Masur (BBM) drew some normative significance from the psychological studies of adaptability for punishment policy. In particular, they argued that retributivists and utilitarians alike are obliged on pain of inconsistency to take account of the fact that most prisoners, most of the time, adapt to imprisonment in fairly short order, and therefore suffer much less than most of us would expect. They also argued that ex-prisoners don't adapt well upon re-entry to society and that social planners should consider their post-release experiences as part of the suffering the state imposes as punishment.
In subsequent articles, we challenged BBM's arguments (principally from the perspective of retributive justice) -- see below for SSRN links. The fundamental issue between BBM and us is whether "punishment" should be defined, measured, and justified according to the subjective negative experiences of those who are punished, an approach we refer to as "subjectivism," or whether the more compelling approach is to define and justify punishment, more or less, in objective terms such that the amount need not vary based on experiences of offenders alone.
In their responsive essay, "Retribution and the Experience of Punishment," BBM responded to our challenges. This essay of ours now assesses the impact of their responses, again from the perspective of retributive justice. We remain unpersuaded by their conceptual and normative responses. We also use this essay to explain further the wrong turns associated with BBM's decision to endorse subjectivist concerns as the principal measure and justification for the infliction of retributive punishment.

Showcase cinemas has to be my favourite cinema to visit . I go to the one in nantgarw near cardiff which is about 18 miles from my home.
They have thirteen screens there and the seats are really comfy.
The foyer is a good size with two cashiers on one side and another two on the other so spreading the queue out instantly they also have some machines where you can purchase your tickets with a credit debit card or even buy your tickets online before you visit especially useful if a film is popular and it could become sold out as you get to the frot of the queue .
This has happened to us twice cue an autistic meltdown from my son no fun for anyone .
I always use the cashier as i take my autistic son and have to use this system to show them his cinema exibitors card which allows me to get in free as his carer as he couldnt cope without me even though he is now 12 years old.
I am always a little worried about a sell out for the reason above but do tend to wait till the film's been out a while and also go extra early.
They have the usual range of hotdogs popcorn and pick and mix available at highly inflated prices which all cinema have we all expect this, but it is a treat after all so enjoy it
I especially like showcase as even though "vue" has just opened last year 5 miles nearer to us the foyer is tiny and you have to end up in a snaking queue that is for tickets and snacks meaning it takes too long for my son to wait, the other thing that makes me favour showcase over vue is that you can sit where ever you want in showcase yeahh as those who know autistic childen might know they dont like being crowded and my son especilly hates someone siting in front of him ,but in vue you can bet after you've picked what you hope are the most unpopular seats some enormous and tall person comes and sits in front of him no problems in showcase you can just move .
They hate you to move in vue though "are you siting in the right seats?" they come around asking you
So to sum up i'd rather drive the extra distance to showcase to have a stress free cinema experience hurray.
Showcase is my favourite cinema. This is a review of the Nottingham one as it's the only one I've been to.
Entering the cinema, you can see everything going on from the main foyer as regards ticket queues, show times, etc. It has quite a big food court that offers a range of things from Ben and Jerry's to nachos, hot dogs, popcorn, soft drinks, chocolate, pick and mix etc. All the standard stuff really. They also have small screens showing bits from films and music videos.
The prices are standard cinema prices, being quite expensive. One of the best things about it is the 'Showcase Insider' card (google it), where you can sign up for a card and they email you when there's a free film screening. This entitles you to two free tickets to see a preview of a film not out yet (the full film) with no trailers, which is excellent. Unfortunately since the credit crunch the offers have been fewer and further apart, but hey it's worth signing up anyway.
Another thing I like about Showcase is that the seats are more flexible; you can tilt back a bit in them which is just more comfortable. Also, this is really cheesy, but I love the retro advert asking you to turn your phone off, be quiet etc. as it's so neon and well-animated.
My partner and I enjoy going to the cinema just for a quiet night out. Last night we thought we would try the Showcase Cinema in Reading as it was the only one in the local area showing Mirrors at the time that we wanted to go. To start with getting there was a bit of a nightmare on the main roundabout for the cinema there are no signs on which exit to take to get to the cinema this meant that we went round the roundabout with about 100 traffic lights twice. Once we found the entrance the car park had plenty of spaces available and there is an overflow car park if you were to go during peak times. No quere for the ticket which was good but the lady that gave us our tickets didnt bother to tell us which screen it was on or where the screen was situated. We went and purchased drinks and popcorn (very tasty) and then struggled to find the screen we asked a member of staff and we were in formed that it was upstairs. Overall the cinema was not as very clean considering we had just paid £17.50 for two adult tickets. Note to Showcase employee some cleaners. This cinema is in need of a refurb the seats were old and not very comfy. On the plus side the film was very good.
** A Bit of Background**
Showcase Cinemas is owned by National Amusements, a privately held company that supports community activities. Showcase Cinemas develops promotions and events to raise money and awareness for both local and regional organisations.
National Amusements is based in the United States and operates more than 1,354 indoor screens in the United States, United Kingdom and Latin America. It is the parent company of Viacom which includes Paramount Communications, MTV Networks, Nickeldodeon, VH1, Blockbuster Video and many more. As you can see entertainment is what they do best.
Showcase Cinemas feature state of the art Dolby Digital Stereo, Dolby Stereo SR and Dolby Ex sound systems; custom designed, deep-cushioned rocking recliner seats with cup-holder arm resents, wall to wall screens and seats that elevate you above the row in front so you can get the maximum effect from the screen.
**Show Times & Tickets**
It is very easy to look at show times and book tickets for the Showcase Cinemas. All you need to do is access their website: wwww.showcase.co.uk and find your nearest cinema. In my case it is the one at Bluewater Shopping Centre, which is where my review will be based.
You can book tickets in advance of around 1 week, which is always good if you want to go at a busy time.
The tickets can be booked online, or you can phone them up. I always book online as I find it easy and you can also pick out where you would like to seat on the plan, which is great. Booking online is also great as you can choose whether you want to print out your tickets there and then, or pick them up when you arrive at the cinema. Generally, I print my tickets out as then you know the only queue you will be in, is the one for the obligatory popcorn.
**The Gallery - Bluewater**
If you want to make your trip to the cinema extra special then I suggest trying the exclusive Gallery. The Gallery's luxury lounge offers complimentary snacks, tea and coffee. Gallery auditoriums are furnished with extra comfortable sofas-for-two and luxury chairs. I have only been to the Gallery twice, but I do love it and laying on the sofas (if you so wish!) does make you feel very comfortable. It does cost a bit more than the normal seats, but I definitely recommend trying it at least once.
**Showcase Insider **
Showcase Cinemas offers an exclusive "club" called "Showcase Insider". You can join simply by registering your details, and they will send you a membership card. You should receive emails that allow you to go to preview screenings of some films and also some special discounts on tickets and selected competitions.
I am a member of this and I have been for over 6 months, however I have only had 1 email relating to a preview, but on the other hand it is free to join!
**Baby Pictures**
Showcase Cinemas offers something called "Baby Pictures". It is a bi-weekly programme offering new parents a chance to see the latest movies at the theatre in a baby-friendly setting. The programme makes available special conveniences necessary for new parents to enjoy a movie and care for their baby at the same time. This includes baby changing stations, an area for prams, extra lighting and lowered movie volume. It takes place Tuesdays at 10am.
An adult ticket for a normal show time costs £8.00 (plus £0.60p booking fee), child ticket costs £5.50 (plus £0.60p booking fee).
Gallery tickets cost £15.75 (plus £0.60p booking fee).
Sweets, popcorn and drinks are expensive at Showcase Cinemas, but then I find that they are at most cinemas, and if you come prepared its not too much of a shock!
**Bluewater Showcase Cinema**
I have always enjoyed going to the Showcase Cinema at Bluewater, not least because it does feel slightly more luxurious then most cinemas I have been too.
The seats are nice a large, and very comfortable, which is obviously important if you are sat in it for over 2 hours. Even the distance between your seat and the row in front is a decent size, and you don't feel as if everyone is sat on top of you.
I have never had a bad experience at Showcase Cinemas, they have always been very accommodating to me.
All in all there are a couple of cinemas located near me, however I do prefer Showcase as it allows me to have a more enjoyable experience.
I'm a regular cinema-goer, and until only a few years ago, my nearest cinema was a Showcase Cinema, which was about a 20 minute drive from where I lived. Over the years I found myself there a lot, although since a new cinema has been built closer to me, I tend to avoid the Showcase.
The Showcase nearest me (Glasgow East) is not easy to get to as it is essentially built on the middle of a motorway. You certainly couldn't walk there due to its location and would have to drive or get public transport, and I'm not even certain that public transport runs into the cinema complex. Admittedly, it is surrounded by a number of fast food outlets and a bowling arcade, so I suppose they make a visit to this place more worth your while. However, I don't drive, and so a visit to it is usually out the question for me even if I did live nearer to it.
There is plenty of parking, though, and it is free of charge, so if you do manage to get yourself here, that aspect will certainly not pose a problem for you.
Like most modern cinemas, it is a large multiplex, so you've generally got plenty of choice. In fact, this is probably the most positive feature of this cinema, as it usually schedules films very well, so you have a good choice of films on show at all times, whereas some other cinemas tend to have films shown in clumps eg. nothing decent on for hours and then all the decent films showing at one time.
However, the staff here are fairly rubbish. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't usually expect a great deal from cinema staff. In my experience, most cinemas employ mainly spotty, young teenagers who are apathetic at best about working, but the people at my local Showcase can often be downright rude. I've been to this cinema on many occassions, but have only ever had a positive experience with staff on a handful of occassions, which is a shame, 'cause I find when the staff here are friendly they're REALLY friendly, but most of the time you feel like you're just inconveniencing them. My friends and I all hate it when we ask for student tickets to see a film and they ask to see your matriculation card. They always seem to say it in an unpleasant manner, instead of just asking politely. I've also been ignored while waiting to buy sweets on more than one occassion, and on my most recent visit watched an overbearing boss shouting at quite a few seperate employees right in the middle of the foyer where customers were present.
The cinema foyer itself, though, is much larger than most other cinemas and even has its own arcade. The food counter is along the middle of the foyer with ticket desks at either end, and I must admit, the choice of food is always impressive. Not only do they have the usual sweets on sale, but they have hot food such as pizza and chips, frozen yoghurt, pick and mix etc. Of course, like most cinemas, the food doesn't come particularly cheap.
Ticket prices are fairly average. A student ticket costs £4, which is the same as VUE cinemas, slightly more expensive than UGC and cheaper than UCI.
Tunnels leading off to the right and the left contain the cinemas. The toilets are also found here, but are beyond the ticket collector, so if you don't have a ticket it seems like you may just have to cross your legs! Electronic boards are on display outside both 'tunnels' with the films being screened in each one, so you know where you're heading. There are also further sweetie booths inside these tunnels, but they are rarely staffed.
The cinemas themselves are fairly average. They are relatively comfortable, but nothing particularly special as far as cinemas go. The same goes for the screens and the sound system. The cinemas are always clean, in my experience, and although I've never experienced any trouble from noisy teenagers or anything in these cinemas, I imagine the problem would be dealt with quickly by the staff if you needed to seek them out.
All in all Showcase Cinemas have a lot of potential, but the staff tend to put me off going there. They generally seem like a rather unpleasant bunch of people who only take pleasure in snarling at customers and shouting at lower ranked employees. Of course, I can only speak for the cinema near me. However, the cinemas are nice enough and there's always plenty of choice with the films, but the location is a bit off-putting, too.
If you are a cinema goer in the Leeds area then there is nowhere better to go and relax infront of the latest releases than Showcase Cinemas just off junction 27 of the M62 (the junction that joints to the M621 which heads into Leeds city centre). I have been to many cinemas in my time (ABC, Warner, Virgin, Odeon, Cineworld) but none come close to a showcase cinema especially not the Leeds one now that it has all stadium seating and the latest screens and dolby surround. There are two new cinema complexs in striking distance of me, I have tried them both (cineworld in the centre of Bradford and the new Odeon on the way to Pudsey) but my number one is still showcase. First of all they are the comfiest. The seats have sprung backs alowing you to rest in the positon you want to rest in not the position the seat was made in and also they have LOADS of leg room. No cramp and pins and needles again if you are fairly tall like me. This showcase also has a huge free car park with plenty of room to accommodate everyone visiting the 14 screens. The prices aren't bad either. At peak times (evenings) a full price ticket is about £5.20 and consessions/off peak times tickets are about £4 with further consessions for OAPs and children under 12. The only thing I don't like about the place but as far as I can remember this applies in other places too the food/drink sold there is very expensive, £1.50 for a regualr coke and about £2.50 for a regular pop corn which isn't actually very big! The service is always very good and they even have a security man who drives round the car park all evening so you feel a little safer that your car will be in one piece when you get back to it. So if you are in the Leeds area and fancy going to the cinema then try Showcase, there will be no substitutes afterwards but go to Saisbury's first and buy you pocorn and pop there (you can get toffee pop ocrn then too, yum!).
A couple of miles down the road from where I live in Earley is the Showcase Cinema near Winnersh Triangle (about 4 miles from Reading). Like most modern cinemas it is a multiplex and has about 9 or 10 screens. It can be found next to the A329 between Reading and Wokingham. Showcase are American owned. It can be reached by bus (A Beeline Service going from Wokingham to Reading stops there) and the number 10 from Reading calls there in the evening. Alternatively, a train ride to Winnersh Triangle involves navigation of some busy roads. There is a Park and Service next door, though this is for those travelling into Reading (it floods too). Most people walk or go there by car. The cinema is an interesting building because it is built on a flood plain next to the River Loddon. When we have a serious amount of rain, the Loddon breaks its banks and the car park floods. Car Parking is extensive and free. A pair of wellies is advisable this time of year. However the cinema going public won't get wet feet whilst watching 102 Dalmatians. The cinema is another 10 feet or so above the car park. If you fancy a drink before or after the show, there is the George Pub on the other side of the River Loddon. This has an extensive menu and selection of drinks. It also floods! Prices are fairly standard for a cinema of this type. An adult seat costs £5.25 and a child seat is £3.75. There are concessions for students. A good day to go is Tuesday when all seats are £3.75. You can book your tickets in advance at the Cinema or on the night - though the queues can be lengthy. Alternatively, you can book over the telephone though you are charged a booking fee of 50p per ticket for the privilege. In terms of facilities, the cinema is pretty much state of the art. It has modern projectors, Dolby sound and rocking chairs with (wait for it) cup holders. It is fully air conditioned with a smoking ban. And of course you can get ripped
off buying their popcorn, cold Pepsi or hotdogs. We take our own sweets and cans bought from ASDA thereby saving a small fortune. Showcase want you to eat their food and put up notices discouraging you from taking your own - but we do it anyway! As a Cinema it is ok. It lacks any charm and you feel that you are there to increase Showcase's profits - even more so if you buy their food. Cinema is yet another industry where we have let foreign companies in and they now rule the roost. There is a Warner Brothers Multiplex Cinema in the Oracle Centre within Reading Town Centre as an alternative - but I have not as yet visited it.

Slaughter Horse Transport Program (SHTP)
Final Rule published and effective as of October 7, 2011. The final rule can be accessed here .
One of APHIS/VS responsibilities, under the 1996 Farm Bill, is to regulate the commercial transportation of horses to slaughter, an authority the Secretary of Agriculture delegated to the Deputy Administrator of Veterinary Services (VS).
VS began the SHTP with collaboration between the public and private sectors. The program gathered opinions from animal welfare groups and used research findings by leading experts in the fields of animal handling, animal stress, and transportation. The USDA working group included representatives from VS, USDA's Agriculture Marketing Service, Food Safety and Inspection Service and the Office of General Council. VS was invited to stakeholder meetings with representatives from the equine industry, horse welfare groups, auction terminals, horse processing plants, trucking industry, and the research and veterinary communities.
USDA funded research at Colorado State University on the physical conditions of horses arriving at slaughter plants, at Texas A&M University on the effects of water deprivation in equines, and at the University of California, Davis on stress in equines shipped to slaughter facilities. The recommendations and findings of the USDA, stakeholder, and research groups became part of the regulations in 2000. Under these regulations shippers must:
Program Goal
The goal of SHTP is the same today as in 2001 when it was established: if a horse must be transported commercially to slaughter, then it will travel in a safe and humane fashion. The program is often cited as a model for the future development of humane transportation programs for other species.
Final Rule Provisions
The final rule on humane transportation of horses to slaughter was published in the Federal Register on December 7, 2001. The recommendations mentioned above were incorporated into the regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations (9 CFR Part 88).
The regulations provide for complete domestic and international monitoring of the movement of U.S.-origin horses to slaughter through the use of owner /shipper certificates and corresponding backtags. The SHTP owner/shipper certificate is documentation that the shipper is in compliance with the regulations.
The regulations prohibit the transportation of a horse that is
a. unable to bear weight on four limbs,
b. unable to walk unassisted,
c. blind in both eyes,
d. a foal under 6 months of age, and
e. a pregnant mare that is likely to foal (give birth) during the trip.
The certificate must be signed by the owner/shipper. It is collected by the host country officials at the slaughter plants in Canada and the border crossings into Mexico. The certificate was designed as a trace-back tool to investigate and document program violations. Regardless of whether U.S.-origin horses are processed in Canada, or Mexico (by law, horses are no longer slaughtered in the United States) the owner/shipper certificates are returned to VS headquarters where the certificate information is entered into a database.
Violations Are Prosecuted
To date, 17 cases have been adjudicated, resulting in total civil penalties of $750,550, and 15 cases have been settled for total civil penalties of $161,450. The adjudicated amounts includes all Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) decisions (Default Decision & Decision & Order), and the settlement amount includes all consent decisions.
Specific decisions and settlement agreements may be found at the website for ALJ decisions at: http://www.dm.usda.gov/oaljdecisions/, and the website for Judicial Officer decisions: http://www.nationalaglawcenter.org/decisions/.

Transportation of Horses to Slaughter
Separating Fact and Fiction
Fiction: Disturbing images of abused horses being shown on some websites and other media say they were taken during a 10 month period at one horse slaughter plant in Texas.
Fact: The photos were taken by a USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) field coordinator for the Equine Transport program over a six year period at more than one slaughter location as documentation of abuse of the transport law. It should be noted that in 2007, the last year the Texas slaughter location was open, there were very few injuries as a result of transport because of the USDA regulatory program being enforced.
Fiction: The photographs are being depicted as though this horrible abuse was standard practice.
Fact: The photographs were taken and collected as evidence in cases against shippers who violated the Commercial Transport of Equines to Slaughter law. The photos are the basis by which APHIS prosecutes the violators. APHIS prosecutes to the full extent of the law, and the photographic evidence is a strong component of the way its cases are built.
Fiction: The majority of horse injuries occur during transport.
Fact: It is true, many injuries do occur during transportation. And that is why APHIS instituted the Slaughter Horse Transport Program, and why it continues its vigilance in ensuring that horses being transported to slaughter are treated humanely, and when they are not, violators are prosecuted.
But, that is not the whole story. In 1998, in preparation for the Slaughter Horse Transport Program rulemaking, APHIS commissioned Dr. Temple Grandin, a designer of livestock handling facilities and Professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University to do a survey of trucking practices and injury to slaughter horses. Survey of Trucking Practices and Injury to Slaughter Horses.
Her survey showed "approximately 73% of the severe welfare problems observed at the slaughter plants did not occur during transport or marketing, but before the horses were transported. Some examples of severe welfare problems which were caused by the owner were severely foundered feet, emaciated, skinny, weak horses, animals which had became non-ambulatory and injuries to the legs such as bowed tendons. Four horses were loaded with broken legs…
"Welfare problems in slaughter horses are listed in order of priority: It is the authors' opinion that the top ranked problem causes the most suffering.
Dr. Grandin found that the majority of injuries she observed that were transportation related were caused by fighting.

Test Reviews
The Unusual Minox ZA 5 1.5-8 x 32 Riflescope tested by Randy Wakeman Outdoors
When hunting, my bull's eye is at least eight inches and perhaps much more. Locating an animal is done with binoculars, my naked eyes, or perhaps a spotter, but not my riflescope.
This Minox ZA 5 has quick diopter focus, is argon purged, and shares the effortless to use extended rubber zoom ring common to the rest of the ZA 5 line. Low scope mounting that might be prohibited by oversize objective bells are not a problem with this optic, contingent on the specific rifle. On the high end, if you can hit what you are shooting at with open sights at just 50 yards, you get the same size image with this scope at 400 yards. On the low end, such as when hunting black bear from a tree deep in the timber, the 1.5 power setting is where this scope can stay, a field of view many scopes can never arrive at. Currently, this ZA 5 can be had for $480 or so street price. On a cloudy morning, forty-seven minutes before sunrise, the low-light performance at 6X was compared against several other scopes. This Minox not only did well, passing the dark green on dark green "make the shot test," it was noticeably brighter than the already excellent Minox ZA 5 2-10 x 40 at 6X.
Eastmans' Hardcore Field Test - MINOX BL 10x44
One of the challenges that the Western hunter faces is finding the right pieces of equipment without breaking the bank. Many hunters, like myself, are very price conscious, but wont sacrifice quality - herein lies the challenge. Speaking from a personal standpoint, the family budget is almost always tight especially with a lovely wife who is a stay-at-home mom, and four young children that think they need to eat every day (the audacity!). To put it bluntly, a $2,000 pair of optics will probably never be in my budget, only in my dreams.
For my money, a mid-range pair of binos like the Minox BL 10x44 is tough to beat. Couple all of these great features with the Minox Lifetime Total Coverage Warranty, and you have a quality setup that will not only last, but leave some money for that taxidermy bill.
MINOX DTC 500 Trail Camera Review
I recently caught up with a couple of the guys from MINOX at the CLA Game Fair 2011 that was held at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire. We spoke a little about their range of binoculars, especially the ones that are ideal for taking on safari like the excellent Minox BL 8×33 Binoculars and their compact BD 7×28 IF binoculars. After a short while I noticed a small green box on their stand and enquired about what it was and what it did:
They told me that it was their new trail or game camera. Which for the benefit of those who dont know is a camera that you leave at a location to take photos or video of what ever passes by that activates the motion sensor on the camera.
From Safari-Guide.co.uk
MINOX BL 8x33 Binoculars Review
Apart from the fact that they are both German brands that produce high-end optics, Minox binoculars are in many ways very similar to Steiner's in that they pride themselves on producing tough, functional binoculars using the highest quality optics, yet are also priced in such a way as to make them really good value for money.
With this in mind, I recently had the opportunity to review their very good looking mid-sized BL 8x33 binoculars, that from first appearances look like ideal binoculars to take with you on safari, camping, birding walks on a hike or pretty much anywhere.
From Safari-Guide.co.uk
German Hunting Magazine tests the DTC 500
In less than a second -- The German optics manufacturer has produced a trail camera to compete with the best, with a trigger release in less than a second and a 15 meter infrared flash range.
The technology is packed in a water tight and robust housing and works with 8 AA batteries, according to the manufacturer, enough to last up to 6 months. With 8 MP, the camera is highly efficient, allowing the user to choose between an 8, 5, 3 or 1.3 megapixel resolution.

Born equal, the meek shall inherit the earth, the eye of the needle and greed is good.
A whole new world was born through the acceptance of the notion that everyone was born equal, this in opposition to the then established patterns of aristocratic rights that went with being born in the upper classes.
A form of equally privileged, of democracy was to be established by slaveholders advocating equal rights for themselves against the heads of colonies appointed by the aristocratic British government.
Today the notion of a failing equal rights structure based on the declaration of independence and touted by those who believe themselves to be sons and daughters of the original revolutionists merely because of their opposition to taxes are the main advocates of those earlier aristocratic privileges.
The observation that the poor shall always be with us and that they shall perhaps inherit the earth is today translated into the notion that they are not born equal, as they prefer food stamps to honest work. Moneychangers once thrown out of the temple have now become that basis of the temple operation.
Our economic system has invented ways of moving camels through the eye of needles, big enough to sail oil tankers through and assuring billionaires entry to the Kingdom.
The world has learned to cope with the idea of evil in societies where evil is the infrastructure of operation. For just as we can substitute referral to death insurance as its opposite, life insurance, we can also learn to glorify greed where once the most religious of leaders denounced greed as sinful.
And today politicians can refer to the document that expounded the notion of equal birth while at the same time denouncing those born in poverty as being potentially dangerous to those who ride camels, even when some only quietly refer to "equality" as an element of national responsibility, a notion outstandingly proclaimed in that "sacred" document.

These are exciting times! Continued advancements in computers, mobile and wireless technology, and Internet search have changed customer expectations in every market. Big business or small, for-profit or nonprofit, local market services or products from around the world — we all need to understand how to best leverage these technologies and fast-moving social media offerings to reach our customers wherever they are and whenever they are searching for what we have to offer.
Genealogy & Family History
While I actively work with clients in many different markets, but my unique blend of professional experience combined with a long-time personal passion for genealogy and family history have helped me develop a specialty in serving organizations targeting the growing International market for genealogy products and services. Since 1998, I have been been fortunate to work for or with several of the leading worldwide providers of genealogy content, products, and services. My focus on this market has been recognized worldwide by the my peers, the media, and family history enthusiasts themselves. My frequent interaction as presenter at conferences throughout the world enables me to spot emerging needs and trends well before they become mainstream.
Business Development & Marketing
After spending more than 20 years in business development and marketing for leading International brands, I'm glad to be putting this experience to use for a variety of small and mid-sized organizations. The principals are identical. Regardless of size or location, every organization has target customer groups in mind. The challenge is to determine the most cost effective means of communicating your message to each segment in order to attract and retain qualified customers in a crowded market.
Through my employment and consulting roles, I have helped numerous organizations achieve their business and marketing objectives. My strength in working with technology-based products and services, combined with a solid understanding of sales and marketing fundamentals is well suited for any market — direct-to-consumer or business-to-business.
No matter what area of interest led you to this Web site, I hope you find something of value.
This site was created for your convenience, but I'm more than happy to hear from you. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your interests in marketing, business development or genealogy and family history.

"The shoes are really cute. I normally do not wear wide width shoes so I was surprised and disappointed when I received the shoes to find they are really narrow and rubbed my feet. I had to return them because I wouldn't be able to wear the shoes for any length of time. Too bad."

Must Have Color for the Season!
"I ordered the natural/burlap fabric. It has gold specs woven into the tweed and elevates it from just a blah neutral-colored shoe to an attractive classy look. These really are very nice and you can't beat the price point. I ordered my regular 6.5 and have somewhat narrow feet and my left foot is a bit smaller. I had no problems. Put a heel pad in the left one & it fits as perfectly and comfortable as the right one. I normally wouldn't go in for a high wedge to wear all day but these shoes are truly comfortable. They come up high enough on the foot to offer some decent arch and overall support."
