I have to be totally honest. My Sunday started before seven o'clock with a two and one-half hour drive, followed by seven hours of watching girls' tennis (with bad cell service so no MLB Gameday), followed by a two and one-half hour drive home and immediately continuing on for four more hours into the bowels of Iowa for a business meeting Monday morning. I know, I hear you: shut up, we don't care about your personal life.
Fair enough. All I was getting to in a roundabout way was that I missed the entire 15 inning Royals' win today. In doing so, I missed what has to be one of the most exciting, excruciating, maddening, thrilling, bizzare and euphoric of the past five years. Pick an adjective, any adjective, and I bet you can make it apply to this game.
Let's start with the fact that the Royals, after asking for seven plus innings out of their bullpen on Saturday, needed a good start from Luis Mendoza. They got exactly that, as Luis went six innings and allowed just two runs (back to back homers to Halladay and Craig when he was ahead in the count – I consider 2-2 to be 'ahead for the pitcher'). All that and the bullpen still had to toss nine innings!
Mendoza's performance comes on the heels of allowing just one run in six innings in his last start, which came after he gave up just two runs in five innings in relief of Felipe Paulino. Now, I'm not ready to sign Mendoza to a long term contract or even to say that he will still be in the rotation by the end of July, but damn, Luis, well done.
Speaking of the bullpen, they went seven innings after Mendoza without allowing a run, surrendering just three hits and two walks with seven strikeouts. The key guy, obviously, was Tim Collins, who went three perfect innings to allow Ned Yost to avoid having to call on Roman Colon for a third straight day or a used up Bruce Chen.
The Royals also got two innings of work out of closer Jonathan Broxton: one more than they wanted. Broxton, who makes a living dancing the high wire in save opportunities, fell off on Sunday and gave up the tying run in the bottom of the 14th. Redemption came in the 15th, however, when Broxton struck out two (Cardinals pinch-hitting pitcher Joe Kelly is no Bruce Chen) on his way to a 1-2-3 inning and finally, thankfully, the win for Kansas City.
Of course, Broxton would not have had the save opportunity to blow or the chance at redemption had it not been for Yuniesky Betancourt. The Yunigma, despised and reviled generally, gets to be the toast of the town for tonight. A run scoring double in the 14th and a two run homer in the 15th after going 0-5 in his first five at-bats. Of course, how often does a non-starter get SEVEN at-bats in one game?
Backing up to the 14th inning, Betancourt fouled the first pitch off while attempting to bunt. Was that a call from the bench or Yuni acting on his own? As you know, the sacrifice bunt is not a popular item around these parts, but I don't hate it in this situation. However, I'm not sure I like it with Yuni up. The one occasional skill Yuni brings to the plate is some pop (you know like extra inning doubles and homers), so I am glad that either he cut it out or Ned called the bunt off after one attempt.
But then, Yuni would not have had his chances if it had not been for Billy Butler turning around 99 mph fastball on an 0-2 count with two outs in the top of the ninth to tie the game in the first place. I not sure everyone has noticed, but Billy Butler kinda knows how to hit a baseball.
This game featured, among other things:
- FIVE walks by Alex Gordon.
- Back to back intentional walks with no one on and two outs. Sounds crazy, but it was the 14th inning, the Royals were out of bench players, Bruce Chen already had gotten his pinch hit knock, so the Cards gave free passes to Moustakas and Escobar to get to Nate Adcock.
- As alluded to a twice already, we saw the first Royals pitcher to get a pinch hit when Bruce Chen, batting for Tim Collins singled. I'm amazed that is the first time it has happened. You would have thought that back before the DH, some Royals pitcher (Jim Rooker for example) would have gotten one in some wild game.
I bet you can list three or six or nine more things about Sunday's game that deserve a bullet point: it was simply that kind of game. The kind of game that, more often than not, the Royals have ended up losing in the past. Progress or just dumb luck? Not sure, but I'll take five out of six in any form. Especially with three at Houston coming up.
The Royals are not really a contender, not yet. They, however, are not exactly not contenders, either. I bet you didn't expect to see that when they were losing 12 in a row.

Hello Tom
Thank you very much for such a detailed reply. For those who have no idea about business costings, it is a very full and honest answer. Prices from all studios offering DSD downloads seem to be very similar after converting the currency.
I asked the question as I am a great believer in DSD and really want this format to take off. The studios offering this are few but the number is slowly growing. One thing I cannot understand is why the likes of DG (and Decca) who produced such good vinyl offerings now only offer a CD quality download – such a retrograde step and one they should be ashamed of! I have written to them but got a typically dismissive answer.
It is unfortunate that younger listeners have only predominantly had the quality of CDT to listen to and have got used to this or even worse MP3.The demise of vinyl over CD was a very sad affair but with high-res downloads I sincerely hope that accurate reproduction of hard working musicians efforts and the studios expertise will come back. For me the CD was never good enough. SACD seemed to miss out and again the hardware to play it is not abundant and few matches the quality of the sound that can be reproduced. My recent experience with DSD, and I started hearing about this some two years ago, has led me to believe this is the format of the future for those who seek natural high quality sound – to me it is vinyl in digital form. I owned a Linn Sondek LP12 with an SME arm and a variety of expensive cartridges and so whilst there are only a few DSD DACs around at the moment, the prices are really no more expensive in real terms as the LP12 set up was originally, or others like it. The beauty of the DSD format is there are no clicks or pops that you get with vinyl nor does it degrade with use. Storage takes up no room but for those who like to fiddle, and I was one of those, it is not quite the same, however, one can sit back and listen to the music in a much more relaxed fashion.
I anyone has not heard a DSD rendering I strongly urge you to do so. If you have a trained ear you will hear a difference. It has a truly natural and spacious atmosphere about it
On the question of DSD capable DACs it seems that manufacturers really have nothing to lose in providing native replay of DSD files as they all can work with PCM as well. There was one supposed to be coming out from Japan but that seems to have stalled as I have heard nothing from them for some time. One was supposed to be going to Channel Classics for test, I was told. There is another coming to Europe very soon and that is the Exasound e20. Come on guys, let us see more of them!
Once again many thanks for your reply and once I get my e20 I shall be increasing my DSD library!

Hello Andrew
I'm not speaking for Jared, but I do have some insight into the business. The short answer to yours and Robert's logical pricing question of DSD downloads, verses the same content contained on an SACD, is that they are entirely different businesses, with different cost structures, and are priced below competitive DSD downloads.
To explain, as a label, the first things you need to do are to produce or buy a recording. Then, when complete, sell/distribute it. Traditionally, with CD/SACD/optical media being the primary distribution, the label's costs ended at the production of the optical media. The label's gross income per disk averages about $6US, from which it pays all recording production and post processing costs, the costs of inventory, plus about $1.50 for SACD pressing/jewel box assembly and booklet. Record distributors manage the selling of the disks, and profit from the retail price. It's a very thin margin business.
Each recording project contains a sunk production only cost ranging between $10,000 to potentially above $100,000. This includes the costs of the recording, the musician(s) and conductor royalties (and other mechanics), and post production. The end result is an Edit Master that can be distributed by several means. These production costs must be amortized over several years. This is because the actual release of the recording is typically a year from the recording date (when many of the recording costs are actually expended), and the fact that recordings are sold over a period of time from release. The $1.50 cost of manufacturing the SACD is in addition to the recording production costs
A typical independent label classical music recording sells around 2,500 copies over its lifetime (some allot less), with the more popular exceeding 5,000. Very rarely does the sales volume exceed 10,000. You can do the math.
The problem that all labels are facing is declining optical media sales. Many labels have abandoned the SACD for the 3X less expensive pressing costs of CD. Many, including Channel have entered into additional ways of distributing their product.
Enter downloads. Logically, this is pure profit. The Edit Master is already complete from the SACD production, and the internet is free. Great! Unfortunately, there's more to it. With optical media production, the distribution job and expense, is born by a long established system of distributors. With a label owned download service, the costs only start when the recording Edit Master is complete.
While I'm not personally privy to the actual numbers, I can assure you the download sales volume will have to grow by at least a factor of five for all formats before this download venture breaks even. There are no investors, and all costs are born by the declining margins of SACD sales. These costs include file preparation/Metadata for upload to the server, server and internet upload charges, the cost of a custom Java based download manager (because of the very large file size), and its maintenance, and largest of all, customer support. Since I'm one of them, I can tell you that it takes on average four hours a day communicating with customers who are having difficulty downloading their purchase to their unique computer type and system software components. All recording download services have this overhead.
So, what's a DSD download worth? And is it price sensitive? If it were to cover the actual costs of the share of volume of the download site, they would be priced far higher. Should they be competitively priced with other DSD download sites? They are already two thirds of other equivalent DSD download offerings. Blue Coast just announced the download availability of the San Francisco Symphony DSD recording of Mahler 1, for $50. The far better recorded Grammy nominated Channel Classics BFO Mahler 1 is $33.16 in either stereo OR multi-channel. Would significantly lowering the price of a DSD download increase volume? Maybe, when the number of DSD over USB/Firewire DACs significantly increases. But in the near term, the volume of free DSD sample downloads Channel offers indicated very few available customers.
This is an early adopter business where Jared has balanced the price of DSD downloads between what's fair to customers, verses the cost of growing this new venture. I hope you agree. Thank you for your question Andrew.

I am wondering why the price of DSD downloads are more expensive than SACDs and I think there are a good number of interested parties would like to know the answer to this. If DSD downloads were less expensive, this format would get going faster than it is.
There is no question in my mind that this is the format to listen to despite opposition from some quarters. If you are a musician or have a trained ear you can hear the difference between PCM and DSD, it is far closer to being at a live performance. You do need, however, some good quality equipment - a player that will play native DSD such as Audirvana Plus if you have a Mac and of course a DSD DAC.
I have just discovered the Exasound e18 DAC which gives surround sound and the new e20 which is a stereo DSD DAC. Does anyone have one of these?

It seems likely that there will be a 5 channel streamer in the next couple of years. If so, I would be very interested in having my SACD collection in 5 channel DSD. Would Channel be willing to provide these files for the Channel SACD's I have already purchased and do so at a reasonable price? This affects my purchasing strategy going forward.
Simiilarly, would it be possible to start offering the entire content of your SACD's (5 channel layer and the 2 channel layer) in DSD format at a reasonable premium?
It seems the 2 channel DSD should be the same price as the SACD. Although never one to confuse the price with the cost, I cannot justify buying the 2 channel DSD for more than the SACD, or more than the 2 channel PCM for that matter. It seems that getting the both layers in DSD futureproofs my music collection and allows me, for the cost of the software involved, to convert the files to the format that suits the technology I prefer or have at my disposal. That would be worth some premium.
Throw in the SACD at some reasonable premium and I might even buy that for use in the car and to bridge the gap to time when there is a 5 channel streamer.

|In response to Re: Jet pump replacement
: : : : I have a two pipe (deep) jet pump water system that has lost its ability to reach a reasonable high pressure (it kicks in at 20 psi and I've had to drop it down, gradually over several years, to 28 psi to keep it from constantly running). The pressure tank was tested/reset when I first noticed the problem but it didn't seem to help (it hasn't been tested recently). The pump is clearly old and I want to replace it, whether or not it is the primary problem.
: : : : My plan would be to install the pump and then bring in my plumber to reset the pressure tank and/or tweak the system back to proper specifications. Is this a reasonable approach?. Are there any particular tricks to priming the pump and getting the system to restart? In other words, given that I'm a decent mechanic but a novice plumber, is this a brilliant plan or prelude to a multi-part situation comedy/slash soap opera.
: : : : Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
: : : Scott, I am confused as to your posting " it kicks in at 20, and i've had to drop it down to 28..(typo?) This don't make any sense!. Are you trying to have a 20/40 on-off cycle? If so, then the pressure tank (when empty of water) should be 2 psi below your cut-in setting. (18). If you decide to have a 30/50 setting, then the tank pressure should be 28 (when empty of water)> Also, make sure there are no leaks in the lines.... post back with any additional info and i'm sure others will give advice. Hube
: : Thank for your input and sorry about the confusion. The system was set at a 20/40 on-off cycle when new (before I moved in), and I have had to progressively change the on-off cycle (lower the top setting)in order to get the pump to stop running constantly, i.e. first I set it to 20/35, then I had to set it to 20/32, and now its at 20/28. There are no leaks in any visible part of the system and I haven't done anything with the pressure tank since the plumber first said that it was set properly.
Hube, thanks for the advice sounds like a very reasonable approach and would be time well spent.

"I have been wanting these shoes for quite a while and was nervous with some of the reviews I read. I finally decided I had to have them and mine arrived in great condition. I LOVE the style just like I thought I would! The shoe does run a bit short, but mine fit well since I saw reviews that stated they did - a good help. I plan to wear them a lot in the fall/winter. These shoes have a lot of bling and I think they are fun. Thanks for offering a great shoe at a good price DSW!"

Beautiful Shoe but easily broken
"I LOVE the look of this shoe. but the broach came off after about 2 weeks... I was able to have my mother sew it back on but it was a super huge pain and gluing it would have been ugly, but if you know someone who can sew that doesnt mind sewing in a tight spot (its a difficult spot to reach under) then buy this shoe"

Cute, Comfy Flats
"I needed some black flats for running around in and decided to try these out as I am a big fan of the brand and didn't have any of their flats yet. These are cute, pretty comfortable and are holding up well. The "jewels" on the front are a little bit much, but they're fun. These shoes don't feel incredibly sturdy to me, as in, I would not want to walk miles in them, but for running around the city here and there they are good to have on hand."

Cute and Comfortable
"I love these shoes so much I have them in three colors- red, yellow, and tan. They fit perfect, very true to size (my feet run between 9 and 9 1/2 and I opted for 9 1/2).They are also one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I have ever owned. I could run a marathon in them. Plus, I receive constant compliments on each pair.My only concern is how many years they will last. They are well constructed, but they are light, leaning towards the delicate side. I will be one sad customer the day these need to be retired- hoping it is many many years from now."

Bass Quality, Though a Bit Long
"Bass typically has great shoes, so I expected nothing less when I ordered these online. I'm a pretty solid size 7, so I was a bit disappointed to get them and find that they were quite long - I put them on and easily had 2" from the tips of my toes to the end of the show. The back strap didn't even touch the back of my heel, either. Even when I tried to tighten the strap, it didn't help adjust anything. They were so off on size that I even double checked the shoes and the box to make sure the right size was sent! So I had to exchange them.Other than the length, they seem like a pretty cute and comfy shoe - as expected. You just might want to consider going a size down."

Debt got you down?
Here are some new options for repaying federal student loans—or eliminating debt altogether.
Pay As You Earn: To be eligible for Pay As You Earn, you must have taken out your first federal loan after September 30, 2007, and you also must have received a loan after September 30, 2011. (The plan is targeted to recent graduates.) Another requirement: You must also owe more than ten percent of your discretionary income. Payments will be capped at ten percent (lower than other repayment plans). As income rises, payments grow larger. A drop in discretionary income will likely mean a drop in payments.
The Income Based Repayment Plan: A precursor to Pay As You Earn, this program is also for federal loan holders, including Subsidized and Unsubsidized Direct and Stafford Loans. Payments will never exceed 15 percent of income. Most borrowers in IBR plans will have their loans forgiven after 25 years, but public school employees will likely end their repayments sooner, thanks to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program.
The Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program: following ten years of employment in public service, and 120 on-time loan payments, many public service employees will see their federal loan debt disappear, thanks to this program, which was approved by Congress in 2007. Only direct loans qualify, and you must be working in public service for the entire ten years.
The Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program: "Highly qualified teachers" at "high poverty" schools many qualify for some debt forgiveness after five years. Under the regulations, teachers are "providers of direct instruction in classrooms or classroom-type teaching in non-classroom settings." Most teachers who qualify will be relieved of $5,000 in debt. Science and math teachers and teachers of children with disabilities may qualify for up to $17,500 in forgiveness. Perkins Loans can be cancelled under similar terms.
For details, including a debt calculator that will help you to calculate your monthly payments under the income-based plan, visit the US Department of Education's website at http://www.studentaid.ed.gov.

Leading Asia-Pacific Telecommunications Companies Join Forces to Tackle Global Environmental Problems
Paris/Hong Kong/Nairobi, May 2002 - The Hong Kong conference discussed the many environmental aspects of the ICT industry. Recognizing that without responsible care, the ICT industry can cause significant environmental impacts, delegates agreed that a regional forum could help promote the understanding of responsible environmental management as well as promoting the environmental benefits that the ICT industry can deliver. Two particular areas were highlighted - improving recycling and reducing energy consumption of ICT equipment and infrastructure.
Mr. Claudio Senese of Telstra has been invited to chair the new forum. He said, "An awareness about environmental impacts of the ICT industry exists but the conference highlighted the need for further progress. At the same time the ICT industry is providing environmental benefits through dematerializing the economy, and the ongoing potential is enormous to help ensure a sustainable and livable environment."
During the conference three new companies joined GeSI in their commitment to environment protection: Asia Satellite Telecommunications Co. Ltd, Telstra Corporation and Vodafone. Mrs Jacqueline Aloisi de Larderel, UNEP Assistant Executive Director, and Dr Chris Tuppen of British Telecom and the chair of GeSI, said, "We welcome these three new members and look forward to more companies joining."
Experts at the conference asked UNEP and the ICT industry to bring to the attention of governments the need to integrate environmental considerations with ICT industry development and regulatory policies. The experts also asked the ITU to include a presentation of telecommunications and the environment at the ITU Telecom Asia 2002 to be held in Hong Kong in December 2002
GeSI is an initiative of ICT service providers and suppliers, supported by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
The 1st Asia-Pacific Conference on Environmental Issues in Telecommunications was co-hosted by OFTA, ITANK and supported by HKCS.

UNEP Information Note: Paris 2002/15
Issued by Global e-Sustainability Initiative, United Nations Environment Programme, Internet and Telecom Association of Hong Kong and Office of the Telecomunications Authority
Hong Kong, 22 May 2002 - The first Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Environmental Issues in Telecommunications is being held today (22 May 2002) at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre and the supplementary forum will be held tomorrow (23 May 2002) at the Integer Pavilion, Hong Kong.
The conference is organised by the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI), which is an industry-led initiative in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), co-hosted by the Internet & Telecom Association of Hong Kong (ITAHK) and the Office of the Telecommunications Authority (OFTA) and supported by the Hong Kong Computer Society. The conference is also the first outreach programme organised by GeSI in the region.
"Current trends in production and consumption patterns based on ever increasing use of energy and other natural resources have huge environmental impacts: climate change, air pollution, water scarcity, pollution and land degradation," said Ms Jacqueline Aloisi de Larderel, UNEP Assistant Executive Director. "We need to move to dematerialisation of our economy if we want to achieve a development that will last, and the ICT industry has a lot to contribute to this change of course," she added. This is why a number of leading ICT companies together with UNEP and the ITU have developed GeSI.
"GeSI is a wonderful opportunity to work in partnership to address some of these problems", said Dr Chris Tuppen, Chairman of the GeSI. "We are delighted that Asia Satellite Telecoms Co Ltd is now joining other world leading telecommunication operators and manufacturers in protecting the environment. We expect many more companies from the Asia-Pacific region to join GeSI as a result of the conference" he added.
As co-hosts of the conference, ITAHK and OFTA are committed to promoting pro-environmental management in the telecommunications sector. Through joint efforts with the GeSI, the two organisations have lined up leading experts from around the world to share with industry members in the Asia-Pacific region their insights and experience in relation to pro-environmental work in the telecommunications industry.
Mr Tony Hau, Chairman of the ITAHK commented that the size and scope of the IT and telecom industries bring challenges to the environment, but "the quest for sustainable development in our industry can yield many benefits to the participants and the public, as you will see from the conference programme." He added, "In some countries, especially North America and Europe, many major companies have made a formal commitment to environmentalism. For example, at least 13 major global telecom companies are members of the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) that is responsible for organising this conference¡K.." and therefore, he hopes that "this pioneering conference will plant the seeds of new ideas in the minds of all the participants."
"As the industry regulator, OFTA is not only committed to implementing environmental protection initiatives in our own daily activities and programmes, but also to supporting and promoting related environmental measures within the industry to minimise negative impacts on the environment¡K..," remarked Mr Anthony S K Wong, Director-General of OFTA. "Co-hosting this conference today again marks our enhanced efforts towards facilitating green development within the local industry.¡KWe trust this conference will not only be a platform for exchange, but also from where a good foundation will be built for further joint pro-environmental work by ICT operators in different parts of the world."

Robin Brownlee
September 08 2011 02:30PM
With a sound mind and body, might Gilbert Brule put his struggles of last season behind him and play his way back into the plans of the Edmonton Oilers in 2011-12?
Brule enjoyed the benefit of neither last season. He battled nagging injuries -- a sprained ankle, a concussion and a bruised spleen -- that had him in and out of the line-up and limited him to 41 games. He also wrestled with off-ice issues and family matters that weighed heavily on his mind.
The combination not only prompted speculation by fans and media alike about what might be wrong with the 24-year-old forward, it wiped away all the gains made during what many considered a break-out year in 2009-10, when he scored 17-20-37 in just 65 games. Brule had just seven goals and nine points.
Brule went from being perceived as kid who was finally living up to the reputation that saw Columbus select him sixth overall in the 2005 Entry Draft to something of an afterthought with many fans as they tried to figure out where, and if, he fits in with an Oilers team -- he was supposed to be part of the trade with Los Angeles that brought Ryan Smyth back to Edmonton -- that is laden with young talent at forward.
So, that opening paragraph is a question worth asking -- if Brule has his head on straight and can stay healthy, does he have a chance to bounce back and make himself part of the plans again?
"Everyone has their issues, right? This was stuff that was between my family," Brule said in an interview with Jim Matheson and I at Kinsmen Arenas today. "Things like that.
"It was all new to me, so it was kind of just thrown on my plate and I was dealing with it as I was trying to deal with it as I was trying to deal with a very stressful hockey season. It was very tough, especially with all the injuries I had as well on top of that. It just all kind of weighed down on me pretty heavily last year."
Given what Brule told me about his off-ice situation and that the subject of depression was prominent in the headlines this summer after the suicide of Rick Rypien last month, I asked him if depression was an issue with him, and if he's been treated for it.
"The things that I had to go through with my family were very, very tough and I would never wish this upon anyone, honestly," Brule said.
"It definitely affected me in a very negative way and I was not feeling very good about myself. That's why I wanted to start talking to these people because I'm a good athlete and I'm a good hockey player and I need to be reminded of that and be reassured and have confidence in myself instead of just getting down on myself."
"I wasn't missing hockey because of those things," he said. "It was mostly because of injuries or flu, whatever it was. Things like that. These things I've dealt with all last year with the doctors on our team.
"This summer, I saw a psychologist and a sports psychologist, so I'm trying to get that mental strength back that I kind of lost a little bit . . . I need to get back to that.
"I need to be reminded, to remember that I'm a good player, I was drafted in the first round and I can play. Under the right circumstances, I need to get a good chance and I need to play well and be confident in myself."
Compounding the injuries and the family distractions, Brule got down on himself because of his lack of success on the ice. Add it all up, and Brule made the choice to get help. It struck me that he looked and sounded like a brand new man when we chatted today.
"I think I'm my worst critic," Brule said. "After every game, I'm the one saying I should have done this and that. This year, I'm working with a sports psychologist like crazy to just get away from that.
"I can't think like that. That thinking drags me down and just makes me think too much. After games, I've got to sort of, 'You know what, I didn't do those things right. That's not me. This is what I have to do.' That's it. I can't constantly be thinking all these thoughts. That's when you don't get sleep and it's just too much."
Brule is confident he's turned the corner and can pick up where he left off at the end of the 2009-10 season. Time, as it always does, will tell, but you hope for the best with a likeable kid like him.
"I feel great this year coming into camp," Brule said. "Even with all the stuff that happened this summer, I don't even think about it anymore. I'm thinking of it as a new slate for me.
"You know, maybe they (Oilers) aren't thinking that, but that's the way I'm going in thinking. I just have to put my best foot forward.
"I'm human. Everyone has issues, right? I think the Oilers have been great with me. They're treating me just like a regular person, they're not treating me like I'm some crazy whatever . . . they've been very good with me and very patient, which I respect."
Listen to Robin Brownlee Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on the Jason Gregor Show on TEAM 1260.
I hope he rebounds. He along with Jones and Eager would make a very good 4th line that can chip in.
September 08 2011, 02:36PM
Rishaug seemed to have good things to say about him the other day. Hopefully he can bounce back for us and add some competition.
September 08 2011, 02:37PM
I've always liked Gilbert. Plus, according to Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers, he has the perfect Canadian hockey player birthday. January... first.
September 08 2011, 02:42PM
But...But...But...where does he fit?
September 08 2011, 02:43PM
I like Brule. I picked him as my star last year.
He's not going to be a top-6 forward in the NHL, but he battles for the puck like a wolverine, has a cannon for a shot, and is pals with Bono.
JC for one hopes he battles hard in camp, pushes some of the younger guys down to OKC, and at some point even finds some time playing point on the pp. I'm glad we traded Colin Fraser instead of Brule because old Gilles has much greater upside if he can bounce back.
And he's from E-town. What's not to like?
September 08 2011, 02:43PM
But...But...But...where does he fit?
4th line center?
September 08 2011, 02:46PM
I hope he can put together a solid season. It has to be tough playing under emotional duress, mixed with physical ailments under a media microscope.
Didn't Horcoff see a Sports Psychologist and then go on to have a good season (before shoulder surgery).
I'm rootin' for him.
September 08 2011, 02:50PM

You know you had me tell he is pals with bono.
The way I look at it is the guy had one good season and was paid for it. It was also a season that coming into camp he was fighting for a roster spot. I think if people forget the whole putting up 40 points and forget about his contract that he could be a decent player for us.
September 08 2011, 02:52PM
Here's hoping he can bounce back and score 10 - 12 with some energy in a bottom 6 role.
Could be a nice tweener like Jones that can move up and down the line-up when neeed.
September 08 2011, 02:56PM
On a completely unrelated note, I just saw RNH driving his big black Ford. I gave him a thumbs up. He gave me one back!
EDIT: I wonder if that's against the distracted driving legislation.
September 08 2011, 03:00PM
Good for him, in the wake of this terrible summer I'm glad there is more openness (sp?) about his depression or whatever you want to call it. He didnt have to answer, and he would have been within his rights not to, but maybe its one awkward step towards dispelling the taboos of mental health problems.
I dont see him as a big part of this team's future, but if he's cool enough for Bono then he's cool enough for me.
September 08 2011, 03:01PM
I give Brule a lot of credit for talking about some off the off-ice issues that weighed on him. His being in and out of the line-up led to a lot of speculation something was wrong.
I wasn't comfortable asking Brule about the off-ice stuff -- especially bringing up the depression aspect and if it applied to him -- and he wasn't comfortable answering, but he was quite candid.
Brule's poor performance last season just didn't add up to me, based on what I saw in 2009-10, and this might explain some of it.
I wonder if what has happened this off-season is making guys realize maybe they should be talking about it?
September 08 2011, 03:04PM
Though, I might hold a grudge if they start him at 4C and neither Lander nor RNH gets to be in the NHL this year.
September 08 2011, 03:07PM
Great article!
September 08 2011, 03:10PM
Though, I might hold a grudge if they start him at 4C and neither Lander nor RNH gets to be in the NHL this year.
on this we can agree.
September 08 2011, 03:11PM
Good to hear that he feels that he is turning a corner. I think it was a great decision to see a sports psychologist to re-evaluate his frame of mind.
I wish him the best and it gives me even more to look forward to for this season.
September 08 2011, 03:13PM
I think Brule will end up playing on the wing this year. With Lander and RNH in the mix, i don't see him fitting in at C.
Lander, I still believe, will start in the AHL.
Can't see it. With Nugent Hopkins and Lander coming soon, Pitlick developing and Martindale moving onto the watch list the depth chart is working against him. The only guy in the middle he has any chance at all of challenging is Gagner, and given his history he would have to be a lot better than Gagner to stick around for long. Too bad really.
it was a blessing in disguise that we held on to him instead of Fraser. he defn forechecks like a wolverine and has upside, he's a good bottom line center and has the ability to move up in the lineup. i hope he is healthy and is at peace with whatever family issues he was battling.
Robin thanks for this. I've always wondered what happened to Brule last season and this sheds some light.
September 08 2011, 03:24PM
Good thing here is that Brule has no pressure like he did last year coming into the new contract.
When fans do up a mock lineup, I bet you a bunch of them barely even have Bru in the lineup. He was the only guy on our team last year that had a devastating shot on the rush. MPS had quite a few "C(ogs)rest shots", Hall is the only one that likely has that shot in his repertoir. Brule is so awesome at the Stamkos-esque slapper when he's fading towards the boards on the left side, waiting for that one-timer and BOOM!!! Goooooooaoooaoaooaooaol!
With the physical game that he plays, he could quickly become the "RUDY" on this team.
September 08 2011, 03:26PM
I always liked the kid, felt if healthy he's stronger on rw than Omark, keep in mind I'm not the biggest Omark fan, but if training camp pans out competitively I'd hope to see
Hall Gagner Hemsky. Smyth RNH Eberle, Paajarvi Horcoff Brule, Eager Belanger Jones
Hortichuk Omark as extra forwards, feel like I'm missing someone agh that didnt format well
September 08 2011, 03:28PM
Though, I might hold a grudge if they start him at 4C and neither Lander nor RNH gets to be in the NHL this year.
If Brule plays better than those other two than he should be on the team. There is no point pushing players through their entry level contract if they aren't ready to outperform the Brule's of the world...
Besides, wouldn't it be hilarious to see Lombardi's face if Brule had a 20 goal season?
Thanks for getting and writing this story Robin. It would be good for everybody if Brule had a good year, but especially for him.
September 08 2011, 03:34PM
He should try and emulate Peca's game. Mix confidence, improved skating and fitness and this guy might take the next step....or not.
September 08 2011, 03:38PM
...with all these issues both mental and physical is there any reason why he can't start in OKC and get back the mindset and confidence he refers to in this really telling interview?
...being an 'afterthought' in the fans eyes is going to be an all uphill battle for him this year...where DOES he fit is right...i'm assuming he needs to clear waivers [to go to the AHL] that may even get him in that place where it's 'the right circumstance' to be given a chance to bounce back...one thing though he needs all the good luck and personal strength he can muster to make it to where he wants to be as a person first then he can be the hockey player he knows he can be ... i wish him all the best wherever .
September 08 2011, 03:42PM
Brule is done. He should take his money and focus on himself and forget hockey. Sucking isn't gonna help him.
September 08 2011, 03:42PM
He should try and emulate Peca's game. Mix confidence, improved skating and fitness and this guy might take the next step....or not.
I agree, when he's playing well he can be a Peca/Dave Bolland type of player. I really hope he has a good year for us whether its at wing or center.
Timely article Robin. Brule was starting to look like the forgotten man in the lead up to camp.
All things considered did you walk away from the interview with any kind of gut feel on if this was a case of a player knowing what the right things to say were vs a player that truly is ready to move forward?
It wouldn't be the first time a player was 'optimistic' about his health.
It would appear that he is going to be all he was two years ago and more in order to get out from behind the 8 ball this fall.
September 08 2011, 03:52PM
He's definitely the forgotten man in the F depth chart. It should be looked at as a positive thing that RNH, Hartikainan, Petrell & Lander have to step over another player to make it on to the roster
September 08 2011, 03:57PM
OilerLand...that's harsh...
...why not just send him a length of rope and a pen and paper
p.s. sucking hasn't helped you either
September 08 2011, 03:59PM
Nicely done Mr. Brownlee.
I am a Brule fan for sure. Not sure he is going to get a fair shake in camp with A. Lander ready to devour his lunch.
I don't know where he fits, but really liked his game 2 years ago. Also, I really think he is a good person, off the ice. Those guys I will always root for. And really, do we not have a need for a guy who can play physical, score some and has speed to burn? If he brings it, he'll have a spot.
September 08 2011, 04:22PM
If Brule plays better than those other two than he should be on the team. There is no point pushing players through their entry level contract if they aren't ready to outperform the Brule's of the world...

20 goals and more egg on Lombardi's face would be nice, but if I've learned anything about Steve Tambellini it's that expecting him to make a snap decision between RNH, Lander, and Brule is expecting a lot.
September 08 2011, 04:30PM
I also like Brule, and hope he can find a role in the league.
We can't keep all these young forwards, but it would be nice if a bunch covered the bet and had value in a trade - Martindale, Pitlick, Brule, etc. so we can fill the holes without creating another, and perhaps pick up better picks than hopefully we'll be seeing soon.
That would be success in developing players.
September 08 2011, 04:51PM
Brule can be a very useful player and he sounds like a genuinely good guy so I hope things work out for him.
It won't be easy though, there are a lot of good young players nipping at his heals.
September 08 2011, 04:55PM
Lean, battered and hungry for anything that resembles success. We're pulling for you Gilbert.
September 08 2011, 04:55PM
Sorry to say but I don't think it matters too much what he does this year. If he does have a good season I think the Oil will try to trade him and get a decent return. Worst case they don't resign him after this season. There are just too many other players trying to push their way into the mix and I think the Oilers would rather let Brule go than risk losing one of their young players that could turn out better.
September 08 2011, 05:09PM
Always been a fan of Brule and I was very happy to see the Oilers give him a chance when they picked him up from CBJ. If he can get things straight in his head he could move up the depth chart. Unfortunately, he has been low on confidence since the pressure was put on him in the Blue Jackets organization and his many trips up and down from the AHL to the NHL took the air out of his tires early. He isn't the type you motivate with a Mike Keenan type coach. You don't motivate Brule by benching him, demoting and telling him he sucks; he is someone you need to point out the positive and encourage him along. Everyone responds differently and a coach who recognizes that will get the best out of all his players. Best of luck, Gilbert!
I like Brule's game. I think he still needs work in the D-zone but I like his style.
If he can bounce back, it will be good for him and the Oilers, whether he sticks with the club, or as some good value in a trade.
Brownlee, what is your sense of how he relates to his teammates? What I read/hear, he is rarely mentioned by anyone else on the team (which most likely means nothing but..).
September 08 2011, 05:23PM
Is he as nice of person as he seem to come across? Who was the most well hearted standup oiler we have had, btw?
September 08 2011, 06:23PM
I'm definitely a Brule fan, but wonder if he'll ever be the player that he was in 09-10. If he can stay healthy and find a place in the lineup (probably 4th line C), maybe he'll chip in a bit. He can win draws and plays a robust physical game, so maybe he catches some breaks with wingers like Jones and Eager?
It's worth giving him a shot, if he's healthy and focused on the task at hand. Sounds like he is, but we'll see. I'd like to think he'll bounce back and fill the 4C role.
September 08 2011, 06:41PM
I think a problem he might face is he is better than a 4th line center, and that looks like the only open spot here. Oh well, start at the beginning and keep going forward.
September 08 2011, 06:55PM
I'm pulling for the kid. Love watching him on the ice. Throws in a chunk of money to help a little kid in need. Picks up hitchikers. If he A) stays healthy and B) is given a legitimate chance to start the season, I think that he shows well this year.
I must say that I was shocked the first time I heard 'Jill-behr' give an interview. I tot dat 'e must 'ave been oberdubbed wit an inglish accent, non?
September 08 2011, 07:24PM
I thought Brule had the potential to be a decent 3rd line two-way center. Something which Cogliano failed to achieve during his time here. But with the injuries, off-ice issues and general lack of confidence, there is a lot working against him. Add in the fact that Belanger is signed for 3 years and Lander is on the way, plus being tossed around in the Smyth trade, it looks like Brule's days with the Oilers are numbered.
I hope he turns things around early this year and shows good health. At the very least, if he can pass another team's physical by mid-season, he could be traded for future considerations. It would be in his best interest to move to a team that can play him at 3C. For the Oilers, the future considerations could turn into a mid-round draft pick if he stays healthy.
20 goals and more egg on Lombardi's face would be nice, but if I've learned anything about Steve Tambellini it's that expecting him to make a snap decision between RNH, Lander, and Brule is expecting a lot.
The only egg is on Tambellini's face.
Lombardi would have bought out Brule in a heartbeat but the NHL lawyers wouldn't approve the deal despite working late into the night trying to compensate for Tambellini's lack of forbearance.
What Lombardi got out of the deal was $6.5 million in free cap space with which he was able to acquire Mike Richards.
Even if Brule were able to score 20 I hardly doubt Lombardi would give a flying donut.
He's got 7 forwards (Kopitar, Williams, Gagne, Penner, Richards, Brown, Stoll) and two defensemen in Doughty and Johnson who can outscore Brule in their sleep with Loktionov, Toffoli, Vey and Weal on the way.
September 08 2011, 08:22PM
I'm hoping for a good season from Brule.
He's had more than his share of hard luck, and his actions with Maddox Flynn were above and beyond.

Clawson Town met in their August meeting to conduct town business. The town is checking into a LWCF grant. The treasurer's report said the town had $15,848 and there were expenses of $2,014 and $3,044 and the remaining money was $10,790. There will be $7,985 in road money come into the town. The town has $862 of the CIB grant left from the expansion of the office and town hall building. The council will discuss what that money will be used for to purchase items for the building.
In the council reports Jerry Price reported he had a receipt for fuel. He purchased fuel for the tractor and welder. The new air compression has just arrived. Weeds are being mowed in the town. Price will also till the ball field and get it prepared for the seed. Price is the Clawson representative for the county recreation board. He said a meeting was not held in August to save money and the next meeting will be in Green River in September. The town is in the process of talking to residents concerning the annexation. The property taxes will increase for the residents being annexed in but the savings in water rates will offset any property tax increase.
Sue Simmons reported they have had troubles with the trees at the new ball park, but the trees planted in the spring at the cemetery are doing well.
Gerry Hatch reported the Castle Valley Special Service District wants a wish list from each of the cities for projects they want completed. The CVSSD has spent more than $25,000 on the Ferron gas leak problem and they are hoping to get assistance with these expenses.
Mayor Mandy Price reported the town is still looking for a grant for the ball field. The town is continuing to contact residents on the annexation and has met with favorable responses. The mayor reported Clawson Town helped sponsor the float for the grand marshals of the county fair to ride upon.
The mayor reported she performed a wedding recently for Kresta Cunningham.
The council needs to finish their National Incident management system classes. They have completed one course and need to finish the others.
The next town council meeting will be on Sept. 9 at 6 p.m.

HI and thanks for the responses-
Everything in the house worked before I started. I only turned off the main when I preformed the work. There is no hot water tank, the furnace does both. I soldered the connections and don't believe I got any where it doesn't belong. All the connections are per the instructions and nothing is crossed. I installed a Symmons shower/tub mixing valve at my parents a year ago and no problems at all. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the balancing control feature. When I first put it in and ran the water I had no hot water at the other faucets. I pulled the cartaridge and spun it 180 then I had hot water at the other faucets but the water at the tub was backwards(hot at cold setting and cold at hot). I've had the cartridge in and out several times trying different combos and I have nothing at the shower to speak of and no hot water at the other faucets. Could I have trapped air and how do I remove it from the drinking water(potable) side of the system. When I hold the supply lines in my hand right at the mixing valve the cold is cold and the hot side is warm. If I hold the hot supply line down farther it gets hotter. I replaced the cartridge with a new one and the same thing happens. Why do you think I have no hot water at the other taps? HELP please! Thanks again, Bill-

Lovelace Health Plan members now have the opportunity to access a medical provider on a same-day basis at the Atrinea Health clinic at 111 Rio Rancho Blvd, Suite 108., by N.M. 528 and Rockaway.
The Rio Rancho Regional Chamber of Commerce and Mayor Tom Swisstack recently celebrated the opening with a ribbon cutting.
The clinic is the result of an agreement between Lovelace Health Plan and Atrinea Health, a company that focuses on primary, preventive and urgent care.
The concept of the clinic is to provide a place where patients can develop a long term relationship with their medical provider who will work closely with other specialties, such as pharmacists and dieticians to identify and manage problems when they arise, Dr. John Cruickshank, Chief Medical Officer at Lovelace Health System, said in a news release.
The clinic has the services of a physician, a certified nurse practitioner and additional staffers.
There are similar Atrinea clinics at 101 Hospital Loop NE Suite 109 behind Lovelace Women's Hospital in Albuquerque and at 3428 State Highway 47, Suite C, in Los Lunas.

*Your pronation type is determined by the natural motion your feet apply throughout your running gait. When you pronate your foot rolls from either the outer edge, inner edge or not at all. If your foot rolls to the outer edge when you run, you are an underpronator, if it rolls to the inner edge you are a overpronator and if your foot doesn't roll at all you are a neutral or stable runner.

Nice trail shoe
"These shoes really are great for running trails. They have very good treads for traction without a lot of weight, and they are also quite comfortable. As with most Asics, they run about a half a size larger than other brands."

Comments: awesome awesome awesome jig, only problem for the first time today I actually had about 4 or 5 fish continually bend the hook out till I couldnt fish the jig anymore, I believe it was my fault though... 65lb braid and deepwater with 2 over 5... Im thinking thats my fault. incredible paint, fished rocks all day without a scratch to show for and and hooked the S*** out of every fish ive caught, well worth the money!
Comments: My favorite football jig on the market. Great colors and very durable. Had a great morning on Pickwick with one jig all morning. Great action and easy to set the hook, even in 30+ feet of water.
