Dennis Wideman: Stats and Analysis
Kent Wilson
June 27 2012 03:01PM
As the discussion still rages in the comments section of the last article, it's time to take a closer look at the newest Calgary Flame.
Dennis Wideman is a 29-year old undrafted defender who has become a decent top-4 option from the back-end over the last few years. His coming out party was in 2007-08 with the Bruins when he scored 13 goals and 37 points. He followed that up with a 13-goal, 50-point career season. He regressed heavily as is most players custom after that and, after a brief stint in Florida, ended up in Washington as their 3rd/4th defender.
Wideman is better than average in terms of putting up points on the backend. He's been good for around 40-points a season since establishing himself and has a hard, accurate shot from the point. The Flames certainly addressed a need when the acquired him given the big hole in their top four rotation and their lackluster PP.
On the other hand, he can be clumsily in his own end and prone to the odd give-away. He's never really been in any team's top-2 defense consistently as a result.
The Underlying Numbers
Wideman played the third toughest minutes for the Capitals last year, although the gulf between Karl Alzner and John Carlson and everyone else on the Caps blueline last season was huge. Wideman also started just under 50% of his shifts in the defensive zone, so he wasn't feasting on buttery soft circumstances or anything. His 0.81 even strength points/60 minutes of ice was good for third amongst regular defenders.
Wideman's possession stats were just okay in that role (-1.09 corsi/60, or +2.5 corsi/60 relative). Those were right in the middle of every other defender on the club.
Neil Greenberg counted scoring chances for Washington last year. Wideman's scoring chance ratio was 49.6% over the course of the season, just a hair below a mediocre 50% rating. That suggests he would have been better served with at least slightly easier circumstances*.
the crowd at Japer's Rink described Wideman more or less as a good offensive option who was questionable defensively. The collectively gave him an average grade of "5/10" for the season.
* It's worth noting that in the playoffs, Hunter didn't particularly trust Wideman. He played him the 5th most out of any WAS defender at even strength in the post-season and gave him the easiest zone start ratio (53.9%).
The Risks
Wideman was one of the few decent top-4/offensive options in a fairly shallow UFA pool this year, so he was probably going to get paid by someone. That said, the Flames assume some real risk with this contract due to it's size and length. Wideman has never been an anchor quality defenseman and has probably peaked as capable, but hardly dominating, top-4 defender (particularly behind his own blueline). He turns 30 next March, meaning the huge bulk of his dollars will be paid out during the downslope of his career.
If Wideman sustains his current form for a 3+ years, Flames probably have an at-value proposition here. If he takes a step backwards at any point - particularly sooner rather than later - and they have another contract they'll be looking to dump down the road. There's almost no chance they have him on a plus value deal though (meaning, he will probably never outperform his dollars to any great extent)
I don't know if Feaster means to supplement the current Flames outfit with Wideman or use his addition to get rid of a ticket the club doesn't want (Jay Bouwmeester). If the intention is to replace JayBo with Wideman, well...that's a fairly poor bet. Wideman's better offensively and better on the PP, but all indications are he would get killed playing the sort of minutes Bouwmeester has survived most of his career. Particularly if, like JayBo, his partner is Chris Butler.
Wideman is a better option than, say, Hannan, no doubt, but he's also almost 5-times as much for 5-times as long (so he better be). He adds another weapon to the back-end on the PP and should help one of the more offensively punchless bluelines in the league put up a few more points next year.
He's not a guy that is going to consistently or efficiently shut down the opposition's big guns however. And the heft and length of his new deal means he has to more or less sustain his current form in order to avoid becoming a Sarich-like alabtross down the road.
NHL GM's like to defer risk down the road by inking long-term deals to secure their targets. It's a somewhat sensible strategy because "winning now" is how most managers and coaches are judged (outside of Edmonton at least). That said, if Wideman struggles to any degree and/or if the Flames run in place again, there will be frowns about this contract this time next summer.

What is the big fuss about the NMC?? People with NMC's get moved all the time around the league. We've seen it here too, Regher, Langkow, Bourque (?). It's not that big of a deal. If he underperforms he'll probably want out anyway.
The big fuss is that NMC cost the seller when they want to unload a contract. Regher was traded with a 2nd round pick, for Butler. So, they are more difficult to move and costly as well.
That 2nd round pick was traded so Buffalo would take on Kotalik's salary, no way it was because Regher had a NMC.
"Why is his salary a concern?...What he gets paid is meaningless."
salary cap says hi.
In a salary cap world you want players to be signed to value contracts (ie. less-than-or-equivalent-to what they're worth) so you can sign more quality players. It also makes them easier to move (Matt Stajan--albatross) if they're signed to value. If Wideman works out, the 5.25 is.. okay. If he flops, that contract becomes an anchor fast.
@ Cowtown 1989
I think he signed with St.Louis. I believe at the time Button was GM. At the time it was Wideman, Giordano, and Ritchie Regher, Robyn's younger brother who were on a try-out basis and Flames management decided to offer contracts to Giordano and Regher.
Now almost ten years later the Flames sign a player who wasn't good enough then to make the AHL farm team to a "MAXX LOTTO" like contract. Desperate times for a desperate team. How the heck is Calgary going to be able to sign other players with the team already at the 50 contract limit? As well, there are still more holes to fill in the roster.
June 27 2012, 09:36PM
NMC in and of themselves are not bad, but when coupled with an expensive and long contract, they make a bad situation worse for management. Cammalleri came with $7M contract, which is probably $2M too much, just to rid the Flames of the Bourque contract of $5M.
My real fear is that players and agents look at Calgary as an easy place to get a NMC, and that arguable makes Feaster's job even harder.
Seriously?! He has ZERO offense! He is another LH shot. You must have something else.
In Robyn Regehr's time in Calgary, before the Flames started missing the playoffs, he produced "ZERO offense", yet was considered a lynch-pin on the team's backend because he provided the club with a defenceman that could help shut down the other teams top players and play some of the toughest minutes on the team effectively. His salary was 4.02$ million per year.
Jay Bouwmeester doesn't provide the offensive punch that his price tag would demand of him, but here at FlamesNation everyone knows he's an integral part of the team. Why? Because he plays some of the toughest minutes on the team, and gives guys more favourable ice time to work with.
Bryan Allen would fit well with Bouwmeester, as JBouw would finally get a guy that could help him handle the other team's heavies. Wideman is NOT going to be used in the same role. He'll provide some offense, but with his defensive lapses he could cost the Flames. Look, I'm not saying that I hate the move, I'm just saying that I think the Flames could have spent that money on someone else.
@ Schevvy & Chinook Arch
From my understanding we would have received Buffalos first round pick last year if Regher did hum and haw and the owner from Buffalo didn't have to pay him a visit at his Lakehouse to convince him. Players like having the NMC & NTC clause in their contract for leverage. See Iginla. See Jokinen. Having such a clause for a player is like being a free agent, except for the fact that a player usually has a list of 5 to 10 teams to choose from instead of the whole league bargaining for their services. See Rick Nash.
I think Feaster HAS to get rid of Babchuk and HIS salary, not JBO. Babchuk now has no role on this team. Period. Making that move would make the fan base more understanding of today's events. But I'm not suggesting that we package up our future draft picks (ala Kotalik) to make it happen.
June 27 2012, 10:03PM
The Feast paid market value for Wideman in this UFA market...I have no issue with that. Once a team needs to go to the UFA market, they are going to overpay in both price, term and maneuverability (NTCs)..it is akin to being at the hotel and having to dip into the minibar.
The organization has obviously chosen to put themselves in this position with a win now attitude and roll he dice with Iggy, Kipper et al.I disagree with this approach and therefore have a problem with the Wideman signing in this context.
Again, looking back at the draft last weekend,if the Flames needed to shore up with an offensive defenseman why not pick Maata?? He has 2 inches on Wideman, way better skater and as per all the Jankowski boosters...Maata has way more upside than Wideman. And to boot you get Maata at an entry level rookie contract freeing up multiple millions to overpay for some actual goal scoring for this team if it wants to win it all now.
Instead they pissed away their fist round pick on a 5 year project one week and then the next week sign guys as if to win now... I am just confused and feeling schizophrenic.

Ok. I will concede that I think the contract is a risk and an overpay, as are most UFA signings. But I like the player and I believe he fits with the mandate that Feaster has set; to make the team an exciting, offensive minded team. He is perhaps the best choice in this years UFA class for that role and we paid no more than what someone else would have paid.
I do agree with you that this is an excellent PR move. It adds a certain high octane offensive sense that hasn't really been around since Dion Phaneuf. Wideman has a cannon of a shot and can quarterback the powerplay. And yes, the Flames paid probably what anyone would have had to pay in order to sign Wideman on the open market.
@the forgotten man
Are you seriously suggesting that Olli Maata would be able to step in to the NHL and play a top four role and out perform Wideman? Ive seen people suggest that Feaster is on bathsalts from this signing, but you just may be as well.
@ the Forgotten Man
The Flames don't believe in rebuilding. The Ownership is all about winning now. Until the Saddledome is 1/2 empty that is when Ownership will realize that their approach doesn't work anymore. For the time being that is why there is FN. To vent or opinionate every move this team makes. Like yourself I sometimes wonder if the management has the right plan in place. Who knows - only Flames management. In the meantime all we can do as a fan is to hope, pray and cheer.
June 27 2012, 11:04PM
I can do more than that. I can stop watching, or spending money, until they prove to me that they have a plan.

first of all, Maatta is not an offensive defenseman. Never has been, never will be (which isn't to say that he won't put up points if he hits his ceiling, just that his value has always been in his defensive game.
second of all, Maatta is not ready for the NHL.
Finally, even if Maatta WAS ready for the NHL, he still wouldn't be able to play next season because he needs to fulfill Finland's compulsory military service (better to do that next season then to stay in NA until he's ready for the NHL, then leave for Europe for one year and come back).
June 27 2012, 11:46PM
I like this move based on one thing. Calgary made the first move and didn't sit back and wait to see where the chips fell. Feaster may be learning from his past mistakes of sitting on his hands at the trade deadlines. This site identified possible 'D' FA's as: Suter, Wideman, Carle, Garrison, Coliacovo, Rozsival, and Schultz. The Flames identified their target and acquired him.
The question is now how much will the rest demand on the open market after this signing? A thin UFA market is now one player shallower. Calgary already made that move and it cost them very little to make that move. The price is high, but how would it have been had they waited to address an organizaitonal need? You can argue that the price is too high, but its hard to argue that it was getting any cheaper and the quality of defenceman available would have gotten any better.
June 27 2012, 11:55PM
What is Wideman's skating like? This contract will lock him up to 34 years of age. While it's easy to make the Sarich comparisons but Sarich was never really fleet of foot to begin with which only added to the negativity surrounding his lengthy contract. Wideman led the Caps in hits, 4th in blocked shots, he also had 11 goals and 46 points. That puts him for the lead amongst Flame defenceman last year.
Also I want to give props to NHL numbers for moving Wideman to the Flames so fast! I went to look him up after hearing about the trade this afternoon and he wasn't listed with the caps anymore. Impressive.

Are you seriously suggesting that Olli Maata would be able to step in to the NHL and play a top four role and out perform Wideman? Ive seen people suggest that Feaster is on bathsalts from this signing, but you just may be as well.
D. Olli Maatta-London Knights: The 6'2″ 198Lb Finnish defenseman is a workhorse for the London Knights and is the teammate of current Bruins' prospect Jared Knight. Maatta's positioning is excellent for his age and his hockey IQ is through the roof. He has a great skating ability and rarely gets caught in transition. He is also keen to take the body but does not do so to go for the big hit, instead he uses his physicality to separate opposing players from the puck. A strong two way presence, Maatta has solid offensive instincts and projects to be an excellent number two defenseman, he may not be a player you can anchor a defense on but he will certainly be welcome on any top pairing. It has also been said about Olli that he is the most NHL ready D-man in this years draft. In 58 games with the Knigts he had 5 goals, 27 assists, and a plus 25.
1 million vs. 5+ million...I may be on bath salts but I still know the value of 4 million dollars especially when I have a CAPPED budget. Further, sure Wideman may pot more assists and slap in a few more from the point but everywhere I read today says he is a liability in his own end and slow and he is a negative player over his NHL career.
Really, Kent? "feasting on buttery circumstances"?
Best choice of metaphor this month. Just sorry Brent's not around to read it. Unless he trolls the site as the new Oilers coach. It's also best read in a Homer Simpson voice (mmmmmm...buttery circumstances...).
I don't hate the signing, as long as JBow's still here and they do make a move for a solid top 6 guy.
@the forgotten man
Really, you are on crack, just because they say he is "nhl ready" doesn't mean he can take his OHL talents and translate them to the NHL in a top 4, 24 minute a night role against the best players in the NHL.
Wideman has plays 24 minutes a game and can provide offense. He is a proven NHL defender and big minute defender, if you severaly think some rookie who is good in the WHL can come in and dominate than I know where to put your opinion.
June 28 2012, 12:08AM
I agree. JBo should stay on and Calgary has a solid, if unspectacular top 4. They still need to address the top 6, but you get the feeling Feaster has a few things in the works.
June 28 2012, 12:11AM
Better yet, Calgary could have traded down, nabbed the 2nd rounder, still got Maata at 21, and still made this deal to sign Wideman. Maata, could then go to Finland fulfill his military duties, then been in the mix next year.
The Oilers aren't "banking" on Schultz (presumably that is the college player in your reference) to anchor the defense.
They are pursuing a highly coveted free agent defensive prospect. There is also speculation that they may deal for either Niclas Hjalmarsson or Marc Methot as well as pursuing Matt Carle or Jason Garrison in the free agent market. All of these players are of interest to the Oilers. Schultz is just one, and a very talented one at that.
Wideman is a better defenseman than Souray, perhaps. It is the deal and the circumstances around it that reminded me of the Souray signing. The Oilers' ownership wanted him and so Lowe was told to sign him. It was the kind of overpay that happens on desperate teams with out of touch ownership and management.
Barring a move of either Babchuk or Bouwmeester the Flames are locking up a tremendous amount of trade-clause'd dollars in their defense. In short, they are becoming an unbalanced roster.
If they do trade Babchuk it might have to go with more draft picks to sweeten the deal. If they trade Bouwmeester then I believe they will be stuck with a poor contract and an insufficient player while slowly circling down towards the bottom of the standings.
Wideman is a good acquisition. The contract is what would make me nervous.
And I never said anything about Carle or Garrison being cheaper. From everything I have heard Garrison is asking the moon from Florida.
June 28 2012, 05:29AM
I live in Hong Kong, one of the world's busiest ports. Trust me when I say this, "the Calgary Flames are being run by a bunch of Drunken Sailors in disguise! Feaster really overpaid for Wideman! They should have waited for the dust to settle before dipping their toes in. They have overcommitted big time.
The wideman contract isn't as bad as you think. Last year's free agent frenzy had a lot of huge paydays. James wisnewski 6 year 5.5 mil per year, Ed jovanoski 4 mil per year, christian ehrhoff 10 year 40 mil. This year's free agent list doesn't with defenseman is quite short. it would be nice to get someone like ryan suter or matt carle, but suter will not be a flame and carle will most likely be a flyer again. with those 2 names gone what is there left. Kubina, and spacek. Wideman would have got an even larger payday than the flames have given him.
wideman will fill a need,i dont like the length but thats what the demands are these days.d is set unless they counter this with a bonehead move and ship out gio or jbore. need a top flight centre now and the team is a huge upgrade from years past. the 50 contracts kinda has the hands tied though.
The Wideman signing takes one of the better UFA d men off the market. The reduced supply may well help to increase JBo trade value, I don't see JBo being a Flames on July 2nd.

Dude...chill out...we are talking about hockey.
Attend an anger management class or something.
Picking up Wideman only makes sense if a JBO trade is,nt in the works.Move Babchuk and add some toughness
June 28 2012, 10:30AM
Just a concept here: If we added Allen, as well... Smith would perhaps be #7, and Babchuk would have to gone.
Allen would give us toughness... Immediately, on the back-end. What would his price tag be??
I know this won't happen, and many people are high on Smith.
"Buy low/sell high"? I wonder...
Bouwmeester/Gio or Bouwmeester/Allen Gio/Wideman or Allen/Wideman Butler/Brodie
That's a pretty solid backend.
I am beginning to believe Butler can play tough minutes, though. Which is a good thing.
Babchuk to Columbus for a 1st rounder!!!
Unfortunately, I don't think even Howson would go for that. Maybe the Wild...
seriously though, the Flames need to ship out Babchuk's contract. They're right at the limit, and he's dead capspace besides. Move him out in return for a draft pick. Heck, I'd take a conditional 2nd where the condition is if he scores 50 points. So in other words, move him for nothing.
Another brutal move and no movement clause... Oilers will be passing the Flames on the basement stairs this season and quickly too if the Flames mgmt dont stop denying that their own rebuild is already past due...

I'll take that bet.
'Rebuilding' is for losers.
June 28 2012, 04:50PM
I think Babchuk is in the KHL next year. Compensation for Ramo for maybe? What about Carson? Nobody talks about him anymore? Before the back injury, he was a big, physical defensive defenceman, no? I wonder if he can't crack the squad in a 6-7th position. Wideman-Jbo Gio-Butler Brodie-Carson/Smith
Hi all, I think some real facts need to be spread like this one:
The Flames are at 50 contracts ONLY until July 1/12 OK! Even without trades, they CAN sign SIX (6) more players then!!
Proof: If you check capgeek.com or nhlnumbers.com you will see this clearly. Capgeek is easier for this as it counts the players in categories (Roster F, D, G, All non-roster). See forwards which includes Comeau already, and add back in the RFA Fs who were qualified (Backlund, Aliu, Jones) to get 12 forwards who ended season with Flames. You also have 7 D who are roster players including Wideman and 2 roster goalies. Under non-roster you add back in 2 guys Irving and Byron to the Non-roster count they havefor 2012-13 and forward (which is 21). So total contracts as of July 1, 2012 is only 12+7+2+2+21= 44. SIX SPOTS OPEN!!!!!
Hey FlamesFanInHongKong, yes, your "port" argument is very convincing, especially with all the backup proof and comparables you provided (no sarcasm intended of course)
Hey Graham and others, Flames need quality defenseman so no way JayBo is leaving, Feaster already told media. Move on already.
Nice work Feaster we said we need a top 4 and 2 top 6 check mark # 1 hope there is more to come. A single right winger top six would change Calgary Two fold. Who cares about the money top 10 in points and top 20 in minutes played lets see there are 30 teams x 6 regular defencemen that's a 180 dmen even if he is 29 that's pretty good so 5 mill for that or we could wait to see if everyone would deny playing for Calgary then we could pay Souray 6 million for 1 year out of desperation. No one is jumping at the bit to play for the flames right now so be happy with anything. Plus look at the free agent pool and ages and there are slim picking. Please keep jbo that is a very nice top 4. 2 dd and 2 puck moving shot blocking offensive defenseman. It seems to be reality until iggy quits on this team they won't stop trying to win with him so heres to iggy retiring a flame and hope he has another 30 in him for 2012/13. Go Flames Go !!!!


text: I have been learning Greek with Erasmian pronunciation so far and was wondering if at some point I wanted to switch how difficult would it be? I'd like to do a fluency program at some point (most using non-Erasmian pronunciation), but it's just not in the cards at the moment (though the Polis system seems to be Erasmian so that's an option). I can listen to vocab for hours at my job and I have that in Erasmian (Mounce) and I also listen to Erasmian from the audio that came with Dobson's book. So right now I feel that I would be really hindered by trying to learn with a different pronunciation since all of my resources are Erasmian. If I stick with Erasmian would it be very difficult to switch down the road? My eventual goal is to be able to translate the NT for theological studies, but I would also like to be able to read it and other Greek writings. I don't want to get stuck in a system that might limit me long term though.

By Alyssa Schnugg/The Oxford Eagle
OXFORD — Dressed in cowboy hats, jeans and cowboy boots, there's little doubt Owen and John Turner are brothers.
Owen, 73, is older than John by two years and eight months.
Growing up, the two were inseparable. Not much has changed throughout the years. However, John now often takes on the role of older brother, keeping an eye on Owen and taking care of him, although John says it's a two-way street.
"I take care of him and he takes care of me," John said, sitting outside of the Mississippi State Veterans Home in Oxford with his wife, Teresa, and Owen. "I guess we just love each other too much."
Both brothers were diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease 10 years ago, although Owen's has progressed more rapidly than his younger brother's.
While each may struggle at times with remembering names or what they did earlier in the day, they never — ever — forget each other or how much they mean to one another.
"We've always been like this, haven't we," John said to Owen, holding up his right hand with his index and middle finger held out, tightly closed together.
"Sure have," Owen said, nodding.
The Turner brothers and their younger sister, Nancy Turner Gaia, 66, were born in Calhoun City and grew up in Maben. The two men played basketball together in high school, went on dates together, often bought the same make and model cars and learned to play the guitar together.
After high school, Owen left home and joined the U.S. Army. A year or so after he graduated, John joined the U.S. Air Force. They joined the military during peace time, just between the Korean and Vietnam wars.
Owen was deployed to Germany.
"All I know is he talks about climbing utility poles, fixing things and (being in) the Eagles Nest — looking down at hundreds of blooming flowers," Gaia said of Owen.
When asked about his military career, Owen nods and simply says he had a good time in Germany.
John spent most of his three years in the service as a border patrol officer in Texas.
It was the longest the Turner brothers ever spent apart from each other.
John said he wasn't mad when Owen left to join the Army — it was just something that was expected of you.
"We were a military family," he said. "My father and his father were all in it. It was your duty."
Owen and John bought property together in Byhalia 25 years ago and built their homes next to each other. They lived there until Owen moved into the veteran's home in Oxford in April.
Owen's wife, Bonnie, died in October 2011. They had two children and six grandchildren. For six months, he lived at home with family taking care of him. Every day, John checked on his brother — five or six times a day sometimes, Teresa said.
"He'd walk up the hill and back down the hill, over and over," Teresa said of John.
In April, after Owen moved to the veteran's home, John's illness progressed quickly.
"I think it was because his brother was gone," Gaia said. "I would pick John up on Sundays to visit Owen and on the way back home, he wouldn't talk at all or he would cry. When I asked him what was wrong, he'd say, 'I want to be with my brother.'"
In August, with Teresa's help, John joined his brother at the veteran's home.
Since then, they've shared a room with two other men, but recently they got their own room.
"Where you see one, you see the other," Gaia said of her brothers.
The two enjoy horseshoes and playing pool, but they're not fond of bingo.
"I ain't ever played," Owen said. "But I am looking for a girlfriend. I'll find one."
John particularly enjoys the days Teresa is able to visit.
"She's the best thing that ever happened to me," John said.
The two were married 20 years ago. John has a son from a previous relationship and is stepfather to Teresa's three grown children who he helped raise since they were in elementary school. They have seven grandchildren.
"Owen doesn't get to see his grandchildren so I think he thinks my grandchildren are his grandchildren," Teresa said. "They both just light up when I take the kids down to see them."
Teresa said she and their family couldn't have asked for a better home for their beloved Turner brothers.
"They really care about them," she said of the staff at the home. "It's just a clean, beautiful place."
Listening in on their conversations, some people might not be able to follow the brothers, due to their advancing Alzheimer's.
Owen, at times, jumps around or talks about things that appear to be out of thin air, but John nods and somehow seems to understand completely.
Owen can say a single word and John can finish his brother's thought. And, in turn, Owen listens intently to John whenever he speaks.
Owen is quieter than John, but the admiration for his brother is evident in his eyes as he watches and listens to John recall parts of his past.
John said it was hard to leave his wife and home in Byhalia to come live at the veteran's home, but it was something he had to do.
"It's what we do for each other," John said. "He'd do anything for me and I would do anything for him.
"We're like this, you know," he said holding up his right hand with his index and middle finger held out, tightly closed together.

"Running Man" Forged Turn into Heirs in Special Mansion Episode
Running GuySolidTransform Heirs in Special Mansion Episodekokoberry January 8, 2016 0 At the upcoming episode of SBSs Running Man, the solidindividuals transform into heirs as play a game over winning land inside a mansion.
From the opening, the members make grand entrances completely embracing the rich heirs concept. We also see actress Lim Ji Yeon guest as an MC.
The members are awestruck by ability of the flashy interior of the mansion when they enter. The mansion game sends members to more than a fewportions of the mansion dependent on their rating in the game. They aren't allowed to headout of doorsin their designated territory.
Apparently, there used to bevarious laughter whilst filming because of members getting their land stolen from other members and experiencing indignity as they lose their inheritor status.
The upcoming episode stuffed with twists and turns will air on January 10 at 4:50 p.m. KST.

At Lehi, the Pioneers used their height advantage early and often to lead the Spartans after one quarter 17-5. The Spartans never got closer then nine points the rest of the game as they lost for the second time last week. Bowie Jeffs led the Spartans with 28 points.
Emery will be on the road next Friday at 7 p.m. at Judge Memorial High School in Salt Lake City for the first round of state playoffs. Judge Memorial High School is located at 650 South 1100 East.

Virgin Atlantic To Transport Ashes To Australia For Next Test Series09/09/2005
Thursday 8 September 2005: Virgin Atlantic today welcomed the MCC announcement that it will be transporting the Ashes Urn to Australia so that it can be exhibited during the next Test series between England and Australia in 2006-2007.
The tiny, delicate and irreplaceable urn has been displayed in Australia on only one previous occasion in 1988.
Sir Richard Branson, chairman of Virgin Atlantic, commented:
"Everyone at Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Blue is hugely excited and proud to be given the honour of carrying the most precious urn in cricket to Australia.
"The Ashes urn will be given the full award winning Virgin Atlantic Upper Class service on its way to Sydney including complementary limos to and from the airport, our famous in-flight entertainment and we'll even ask our beauty therapists to give it a rub down and polish! Virgin Blue will take over when it lands in Sydney and lavish its trademark high service standards on the urn as it travels to all the other Ashes test venues across Australia.
"With interest in the Ashes series at an all time high, I'm particularly pleased that with Virgin's help millions of cricket-mad Australians (and are there any other sort of Aussies?) will be able to see this world famous artefact for the first time!
"I'm also delighted to say that the Ashes will "urn" frequent flyer miles."
Roger Knight, MCC's Secretary & Chief Executive, said: "I am delighted that we have been able to re-arrange the urn's visit to Australia."
"With its expertise in both international and Australian air travel, the Virgin Group is the perfect partner for MCC."
"The two organisations can now start to plan the urn's eagerly-awaited exhibition in Australia - where it will, I am sure, be seen and enjoyed by countless cricket fans."
The combined expertise and resources of MCC and Virgin will ensure that the tour is organised to the highest possible standards. For example: the urn will be taken to Australia by Virgin Atlantic; its flights within Australia will be the responsibility of Virgin Blue; and all the exhibition arrangements will be planned and then supervised by MCC's Curator (Adam Chadwick), Archivist & Historian (Glenys Williams) and experts on MCC's Arts & Library committee.
Notes to Editors
The term "Ashes" was first used after England lost to Australia, for the first time on home soil, at The Oval on 29th August 1882. A day later, The Sporting Times carried a mock obituary to English cricket which concluded: "The body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia."
The Ashes urn was subsequently presented to the Hon Ivo Bligh (later Lord Darnley), who captained the next English team to tour Australia.
He subsequently took the urn back to England, where it was kept at his family home (Cobham Hall, in Kent).
On his death (in 1927), his widow bequeathed the urn to MCC – which has looked afte

Author of Ed Engoron's Choclatique, Running Press, 2011
I never get tired working in our test kitchen dreaming up new chocolate ideas. It's kind of like being in a space-age chocolate science fiction laboratory where we have liquid nitrogen canisters, chocolate tempering pots, enrobing machines and even a large wood-fired pizza oven we use to roast cocoa beans.
Last week it was strawberries. This time of year in California strawberries are harvested aplenty. We made fresh strawberry white chocolate ganache, dark chocolate-frozen strawberry ice cream and chocolate-dipped fresh, long stem strawberries.
Midway through the afternoon we discovered another tasty way to enjoy sweet, fresh strawberries! Strawberries provide Vitamin C, more antioxidants ounce for ounce than blueberries and many other nutrients, making them a great addition to a well-balanced diet – not to mention how great-tasting they are! Here's a deliciously easy summertime dessert that you can make in minutes and it's made with Choclatique Private Reserve Dark Chocolate (64%), vanilla yogurt and strawberries of course!
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Yield: 6 servings
1 cup crushed chocolate wafers or animal crackers
6 ounces Choclatique Private Reserve Dark Chocolate (64%), chopped
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
1 pound whole, long-stem strawberries, cleaned and dried
- Place crushed wafer or crackers in a shallow dish; set aside.
- Gradually melt the chocolate in a microwave oven in 30 second bursts stirring at each break until the chocolate has melted.
- Remove from the microwave oven and add the yogurt to melted chocolate and stir until well combined and smooth.
- Dip one strawberry in chocolate and roll in crushed wafers or crackers; set on waxed paper lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining strawberries.
- Refrigerate strawberries until chocolate is firm (about 30 minutes). Store in airtight container in refrigerator.

Did anyone else with twins make a request on their shower announcement to avoid receiving matching outfits? If so, how did you word it? I'm thinking of saying something about respecting the individuality of each baby, but am not sure if that would be clear enough. Thanks!

I'm not the mother of multiples, just the moderator of the forum, so no first-hand experience but I wanted to chime in.
I like your idea of wording it that way but I understand that some people may not understand the meaning of it. I think, from an outside viewpoint, that buying matching outfits is likely the norm.
Is someone else hosting the shower? If so perhaps you can speak with her (or him) and then she (he) can help get the word out.
I'm going to think on this and see if I can't come up with anything.
Over the years, I have come to accept that I can't control what gifts we receive. Though my mother-in-law knows we prefer to not have matching outfits, she still sends my five-year-old twins matching outfits for every birthday and Christmas. For her, she is stuck in a mind frame that I personally don't get, but I've given up trying to change it.
What I can control is what I put the girls in on a given day. (Well not anymore, but you know, when they were little.) Just because they have the same blue sleeper doesn't mean they have to wear them on the same day. Plus, with all the accidents and spit up, when they are tiny, it's harder than you'd expect to get them in a certain outfit at a certain time even when you are trying.
For the people you are close to, you could let them know in conversation that you don't plan to dress your babies alike. For people you aren't close to, there's always the exchange counter!
Just my thoughts. Best wishes and congratulation on your twins!

After arriving in Denver, our first stop was WaterCourse Foods, a vegetarian restaurant with a vegan-friendly menu. The atmosphere was bright, casual, friendly, and young.
WaterCourse serves sandwiches and dinner entrées, but they are known for brunch, which is available until 5pm. Choices include vegan and vegetarian scrambles, omelets, pancakes, and pastries. All of the scrambles are gluten-free, and instead of deep-fried breakfast potatoes and toast, you can ask for brown rice and corn tortillas.
I had the Capri Scramble with tofu, Greek olives, tomatoes, grilled zucchini and carrots, and fresh basil (sheep's milk feta is optional). The flavors were good (you can't go wrong with green olives), but the scramble was wet and crumbly.
Portions were modest, so we had room after lunch for Sweet Action vanilla ice cream. It's coconut-based, which is a plus in my book, and the texture is perfectly smooth and creamy. WaterCourse offers it by the scoop, or you can enjoy it in one of their vegan milkshakes.
Almost everything at WaterCourse Foods is available vegan, and about half of it can be made gluten-free. Four chickpeas for ample choices!
For dinner, we headed to City O' City, a vegetarian coffee shop, bar, and restaurant located near the state capital building.
Operated by the folks from WaterCourse Foods, City O' City is hip, edgy, and geared toward adults. They boast an impressive selection of whiskey and Colorado microbrews; a sign above the bar endorses daytime drinking. While WaterCourse Foods feels clean and airy, City O' City is dark and graffitied, and most of the iPhone-using diners and drinkers sport self-consciously disheveled hairstyles and tattoos of literary significance.
City O' City is next door to WaterCourse Bakery, which supplies both restaurants with vegan and gluten-free breads and pastries. Many of City O' City's appetizers are gluten-free, including a Mediterranean plate with hummus, olives, and gluten-free flatbread. Salads, pizza, and the occasional entrée can be made gluten-free. Sandwiches and wraps cannot.
Thrilled at the opportunity to eat a pizza I didn't make myself, I ordered the La Chagall on WaterCourse Bakery's gluten-free crust. It comes with apricot sauce, brie (I substituted the house cashew ricotta), green olives, roasted garlic, and fresh tarragon.
It was truly, truly weird. At home I would never be brave enough to make something this bizarre, but somehow it all worked. I would order apricot pizza again. The crust, made mostly of chickpea flour, was delicious but insanely filling; I had to cry uncle after three slices.
Rod ordered a Buffalo Seitan Wrap with fries. He reports it was intensely tangy and spicy, and his mouth burned for hours after dinner (that is a good thing). It was also quite filling.
Of course the highlight of my visit to City O' City was the pastry case. According to WaterCourse Bakery's website, they strive to create gluten-free vegan baked goods that are even better than traditional pastries ("We have failed when someone comments, 'that's pretty good for vegan or gluten-free'"). I was skeptical, but wanted desperately to be proved wrong.
The evening's selection included Ho Ho Cupcakes, Hazelnut Chocolate Cupcakes, Sugar Cookies, and a giant version of Girl Scout Samoas. I was torn, but I went with a Ho Ho, because 1) it was shiny, and 2) personal experience has shown me that gluten-free cake is more difficult to pull off than gluten-free cookies.
Underneath that soft, shiny ganache was a layer of fluffy white buttercream, a layer of dark chocolate cake, more buttercream, and finally more cake.
My thoughts upon eating the Ho Ho Cupcake:1. What?!? This is so good! Not even a little bit weird! They're lying—no way this is gluten-free!
2. How did they do this?! I am so jealous.
3. This tastes exactly like the chocolate cake my mom used to make.
4. Is there a WaterCourse Bakery cookbook? (Sadly, no.)
5. Why don't I live in Denver? I can't wait to go back and try every other gluten-free thing in that case. Four chickpeas for City O' City!
More from Denver soon!

|In response to Re: air vent problems?
: : :first look and see if there is actually a vent, perhaps someone who added the second bath over the years? was too lazy to run a vent stack through the roof, good place to start is attic, or look at roof and fiogure out whats for what, could also be undersized vent
: : whikle looking in attic, vent should be within a few feet of toilet/bath above. go in attic if you can and look above bathrooms for pipe to go through roof, should be 3 or 4 inch pipe, but undersize could be whatever the slacker threw in
: : they can combine toilet, sink and bath into one big vent but i dont think its allowable to tie 2 seperaTE bath into one vent stack if they are far apart
: : gotta do some leg work and post findings
: ok, it appears there is a 3 inch vent above the small bathroom and that is the only vent. The baths are about 20 - 25 ft apart. Can't really see it from where I can view in the attic....chimney blocks view and it would be difficult right now for me to get right up in the attic, a crawl space basically. Of course, if it becomes absolutely necessary, I will! The house was built in late 70's and only two residents before us. It's hard to imagine that this problem existed all these years and was just "accepted". It sort of gives me hope that it may be a simple case of something partially plugging the pipe! Any help you give is greatly appreciated!
Well, we have snaked out the vent pipe, we took the clean-out cap off and snaked the immediate area, then snaked all the way across the sewer pipe to the elbow and still have the problem. The only thing we haven't done is to snake to the outside. ??

Winter Destination Weddings
For a unique fairytale wedding, think beyond summertime. From Costa Rica's warm-weather beaches to Sweden's ice hotel, see some of the most romantic places to say "I do" in the winter.
Lapland, Finland
Lapland, FinlandDreaming of a white wedding? A winter wedding in the stunning Lapland area of Finland is nothing short of magical. Travel through a snow-covered forest on a sled pulled by reindeer to your chapel made entirely of ice and snow. Then spend your wedding night cuddling in an igloo. 960 1280
Sedona, Arizona
Sedona, ArizonaDespite what Alanis Moriesette says, rain on your wedding day isn't ironic … it's just plain gloomy. With an average of more than 300 days of sunshine per year, Sedona (almost) has perfect wedding weather year-round. Plan an outdoor wedding in this desert locale, complete with a stunning Red Rock backdrop, without the worry of bad weather ruining your big day. 960 1280
Hotel de Glace, Quebec
Hotel de Glace, QuebecDoes the idea of a wedding on ice seem like a fairytale? Plan your fantasy wedding at Quebec's Hotel de Glace. This hotel, made entirely of ice and snow, has its own wedding chapel and plenty of rooms for all your non-cold-fearing wedding guests. Rebuilt annually, the ice hotel has a unique design ever year – another reason your wedding here will be special. 960 1280
Costa Rica
Costa RicaThis country has been dubbed the happiest place on Earth. So what better place to start your happily-ever-after? This Central American hot spot offers budget-friendly winter weddings in a tropical setting. And it's close to the U.S.; so affordable direct flights will make your guests very happy, too. 960 1280
BelizeAre you a nature-loving couple? A wedding in Belize will compliment your adventurous personality. This outdoor playground is filled with rainforests, Mayan ruins and some of the best diving and snorkeling in the world. And while it's picking up in popularity, Belize is definitely cheaper than many Caribbean hot spots. 960 1280
ColoradoHave you always dreamed of your big day being under a blanket of snow? If you're a powderhound who can't get enough of the slopes, it's fitting to get married where you can ski off into the sunset. Whether it's tying the knot at one of the well-known ski resorts of Aspen, Breckenridge or Telluride -- or exchanging vows in a small chapel tucked in the Rocky Mountains -- there's something for everyone here. Everyone that loves snow, that is. 960 1280
Lake Tahoe
Lake TahoeGuaranteed snow. Check. Magical mountain views. Check. Romantic sleigh rides. Check. Everything you could dream of for a winter wonderland wedding can be found in Lake Tahoe. For the truly adventurous, say your "I dos" on the slopes and ski down the mountain as husband and wife. 960 1280

Skip to comments.Bobby Jindal wins Turkey of the Year Award
Posted on 11/23/2012 10:48:50 AM PST by Marketfly1
This self-promoting, narcissistic presidential aspirant did not even let the dust settle from the 2012 presidential campaign before he was hurling insults at Governor Romney. In the immediate aftermath of the election, Jindal made headlines for referring to the Romney campaign as stupid. He made a very public point of saying that he rejected Romneys analysis of the election that Obama won by giving large gifts to certain minority groups. He called the remarks insulting and said that the Republican Party cannot win by demonizing people.
(Excerpt) Read more at bayoubuzz.com ...
Jindal appears to be a stone nut.
Surely LA can find someone in the TEA Party to primary Jindal when he runs for re-election. He's yesterday's news.
We eat our own, while Democrats continue to gain ground.
Eat cow patties, Jindal.
Jindal will be a "THird Worlder" first a Republican second.
Jindal is not a natural born citizen of the U.S.A.; also not of presidential timber, although seems to be a very good governor for his state, IMO.
Well, it's one thing to "eat our own" as you say - it's another thing to do so while being totally bass ackwards from the truth, which Jindal is.
Hasn't done much about the sinkhole yet, except to evacuate folks.
At 15-20ft below sea level, not another cent should be spent on that sewer. So I won't offend anyone here who actually like NOLA, I won't say what should be done with it.
You're a better man than I, Gunga-Jin.
LOL, it doesn't mater who the RNC puts up, they'll be chewed up by the MSM before they even reach the starting gate.
Minority voters who are susceptible to pandering just won't believe a Republican attempting to pander and will vote for the genuine, Democrat pandering article.
Fiscal and social conservatives will see the pandering for what it is, will be infuriated and won't support the attempted panderer.
Mushy middle undecideds will be put off by the uproar, the source of which they have no clue, so they'll just vote for the panderer who is not being attacked.
It's a no-win for the Republican panderer. For all his purported intelligence, it was a stupid thing to say on Jindal's part. His first impulse is pandering.
Thank you Governor Jindal, for making your priorities clear. In that, you are in the company of another governor, Chris Christie of New Jersey.
You both seem uniquely suited to the conditions and challenges in your respective states. You should stay there.
The sinkhole could be a real danger though. Hydrogen sulfide, butane, methane, and other gasses have accumulated. And, the thing keeps growing. Hopefully the worst doesn't happen; but, it doesn't look like this will end well
Yes he is.
It's a bomb waiting to go off. When it does, Katrina will be a day in the park, compared to what happens, regionwide.
I agree. Hopefully the jolt doesn't set off a New Madrid adjustment or it could be nation wide impact.
That is not you said. You said he was not a Natural Born Citizen and he is.
Um, he was already reelected in a landslide. Carried in a GOP legislature for the first time since Reconstruction, too.
Toss him on the junk heap of political has-beens along with "Fat Man" Christy of NJ.
What do you expect him to do? Just curious...
"...a New Madrid adjustment..."
That's the term I was looking for; good one.
Jindle is not the Posterity of We the People as laid out in the Preamble of the Constitution.
LOL, I see it coming, RNC = Christie/Jindal 2016.
Add this to his status as NOT a native born American due to his parents foreign birth and this guy is off the list.
Unless, of corse, Rancid Preibuis (or howeverthehell he spells it) and his Beltway bosses wants him in the WH.
> Add this to his status as NOT a native born American due to his parents foreign birth and this guy is off the list.
Barack Hussein Obama, who is not a Natural Born Citizen, sits in the Oval Office (when not golfing). This has set a precedent against the NBC requirement.
Republicans have really lost it when they choose the radical left-wing Romney, over mainstream republicans.
Scott Walker, Bobby Jindal, Susanna Martinez, Marco Rubio, are all vastly superior to Mitt ,and vastly more conservative than Mitt Romney, regardless of their shortcomings in that department.
Romney is a hard left Massachusetts gaffe machine that needs to shut up and crawl back into whatever anti-tea party, anti-Reagan, anti-conservative hole that he crawled out off.
Romney, I marched with MLK, and "Reagan was adamantly pro-choice", bet you $10,000.00, "life long hunter", "longed to serve in Vietnam" gaffe master and weirdo, needs to go away.
Are you saying that even if his parents had been naturalized before his birth, he would not be a NBC?
It doesn't.
Ultimately, Constitutionality becomes a political issue - are the parties involved willing to uphold the Constitution or not? That includes the People who vote. It's not surprising that Constitutionally ineligible voters (i.e., non-citizens) would vote for a Constituitionally ineligible candidate.
However, what was lacking this time was clear evidence and fortitude to demand it. All the other states could have used their Constitutional power of full faith and credit to demand that Hawaii share their public records. Only Arizona tried and failed. Perhaps if other states joined, Hawaii might have been forced to comply or Congress forced to act?
In any case, precedent can't overturn the Constitution. That's why we have weak presidencies and strong presidencies. It depends on the boldness of the President and the meekness of Congress and the Courts. That's where we are now, BTW, with meek and weak leaders in Congress, and a confused man in charge of the Supreme Court.
So? Neither are most Americans.
and Rubio's parents were not naturalized until 4 years after his birth, so why is he stumping in Iowa already?
apparently some in the GOP are looking for a minority anchor baby nominee for 2016 to try to outdo the Constitionally lawless democrats
From what I've heard, they haven't even attempted to pump off any of the butane from the butane well nearby. Too expensive. Nevermind, that the chemical brew going on right now could set off something more expensive than anything this nation has ever seen Also, they don't seem to be very forthcoming to the residents in the area about how serious things are. The Hydrogen sulfide news was kept quite for at least 24 hours after they realized there was an issue. Frankly, I think the people at Bayou corne are sitting on a powder keg, and the salt mind company there doesn't seem to be the most competent at handling the "burn-offs". They aren't there 24/7 for 1. The Lake Peigneur sinkhole should serve as a warning what can happen with Salt Domes and a permanent evacuation from the area seems to be the least they should do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddlrGkeOzsI
Should have read Lake Peigneur salt done, not sinkhole.
> In any case, precedent can't overturn the Constitution.
Very well put and I agree. However precedent can allow people to circumvent the Constitution with greater ease.
Ludicrous as it sounds, I don't doubt there are GOP party animals who would salivate at the thought of that. Both of them rubbed me wrong when they first began getting national note, and as time wears on I have begun to understand why. They're nominal fiscal conservatives who manage to get elected in typically hostile states by pandering.
You must be referring to 1st generation Americans, that is, the children of immigrants. If the children came here with their parents, or if the children were born before their parents acquired citizenship, then they are not the Posterity of We the People. If the immigrants become citizens (become We the People), then their future children will be the Posterity of We the People.
It's a harsh reality for some, and it may be an unfair luck of life's draw, but that's the way it is.
I just saw that you don't respond to posters, you just signed up to pimp your blog.
Interesting. Ripping a conservative from Louisana to save the face of a liberal Republican from Massachusettes. What a World we live in. Jindal is 100 percent correct but the liberals will be around to tell me otherwise. lol. Gotta love how wacky things have gotten.
We need a period of healing; not to let Republican "Liberals" move us to the Left, but simply to help other Conservatives reflect, pray, take stock, and prepare to go back into the lists. For some suggestions as to how the Romney campaign could have been greatly improved, in a clearly very Conservative direction, Obama Or America--Clarity On Irreconcilable Differences.
We are all upset about the immediate prospects; we all need to agree to resist those who have lost sight of what the very object of "winning" is all about: Preservation of the culture of the Americans who pointed us in the most successful path in human history; a path based upon individual responsibility, multi-generational pursuits, both spiritual & material; the pursuits of strong families (not the substitution for the family being promoted by Obama, the Media & very, very confused agitators, today.)
A "broad tent" is only acceptable, if it is not a tent confused as to its direction. In the latter case, "winning" really means losing everything.
William Flax
He called the remarks insulting and said that the Republican Party cannot win by demonizing people.
I'm no Jindal fan but he's right. Mitt's 47% comment cost him votes and didn't have an upside.
It's what happens when a person with no core beliefs, tries to say something he thinks will go over well with the conservatives. He believes that conservatives are like the caricature that the Left feeds everybody.
Plus, he's a real pencil-necked geek.
I would agree with that.
If he thinks this election wasn't bought he also believes in Santa Claus.
Frankly, we need to address the definite conflict of interest, in even allowing people who receive unearned benefits from Government, to even vote for any level of Government that is in a position to buy their votes.
If you think addressing that problem is "liberal," you have a different definition than mine.
William Flax
Totally off base, we take Romney for who and what he is and always has been, a hard lefty.
Sane people do not let a life long political animal, and politician, at age 60, simply reverse his entire life's politics and passionate beliefs, to start a campaign for national office, and simply accept it as time to make him the leader of their movement, that he has always opposed.
Romney's legacy will be fame in the history books for losing to Jimmy Carter's second term, for only winning a single term in political office, and for gay marriage and for Romney/Obama care.
He is the first openly pro-abortion, pro-homosexuals in the military, pro-homosexual Scout leaders, anti-Christian cult leader nominee in history.
Romney should not be the one talking now. He lost the election and his right to speak about how things should be. He is so over and we need to stop making him out to be some great politican. He isn't. He is a liberal snake who stole the primary and then got his a$$ handed to him by Obama of all people. You know you suck when you lose to the worst President after Carter.
Great post. By any chance were you listening to "Rush" today? Doug urbanski (sp?) was on there and I found myself saying "where was this guy before the election?" He was spot on! Talking about how if you want to beat the alinskying left and their media in a battle (election), you have to Actually Show Up and get around the media. Then he showed several brilliant ways to beat the media, and mentioned how herman Cain did one of the ways (before his candidacy was derailed).
One was: have a short, sweet, viral talking point. Cain had 999. As Urbanski explained, it almost doesn't matter what your plan is (though it should be a good conservative plan); it needs to be spread around, mocked by the opposition, but gotten into the average joe's brain, and make a lot of people start thinking about it. Could it work? Even those who say it could never work were talking about it. To rise to the level of getting mocked on SNL means your plan is getting out there.
This is how you get right over the media. Make them work FOR you. A 59 point plan or whatever is BS. Urbanski ran through a bunch of other easy points one could use, including "term limits." If you decided to run on this, get the bums out, then the media falls in and starts broadcasting that we need experienced politicians, etc. but the average joe will think about it and wonder if we really need the Harry Reid's, or even the republican entrenched... It has thus gotten around the mouthpiece media.
He also criticized the Romney camp For not fighting the fight: Romney could have won if he answered Obama's negative ads (85% were) in the battleground states. GO NEGATIVE ON YOUR OPPONENT OR DON'T RUN. I'd like to have McCain and Romney show me the science behind darker skin meaning a greater person, because both of them clearly believed it. Romney must have felt Gingrich was pasty enough to go negative on.

Bacon Flavored - Item# :110482UPC# :018214817062 Brand:Nylabone Ship Weight:0.55 Flavor:Bacon Flavored Nylabone Dura Chew Double Action Dental Chew Ball Wolf For Powerful Chewers Up To 35 lbs. Bacon Flavored Nylabone Dura Chew Double Action Dental Chew Ball Wolf For Powerful Chewers Up To 35 lbs. Bacon Flavored is guaranteed to satisfy the natural urge to chew. Non-edible and designed for powerful chewers, Dura Chew's bristles raised during chewing help clean teeth and control plaque & tartar build-up. Dura Chew Bone also discourages destructive chewing, and fights boredom by providing long-lasting enjoyment It is important that you get to know a dog's chewing style and to select the appropriate type of chew and the proper size and formulation based on a dog's age, breed, chewing style and weight. The pressure exerted by a dog's jaw can put tremendous stress on their teeth. These sizes are guidelines: If your dog is between sizes or is especially powerful, Nylabone recommends choosing a larger size-large enough to encourage chewing from the side, rather than from top tobottom. Many little dogs are powerful chewers and may need a larger size. If you have more than one dog in your household, select chews appropriate for the largest, strongest chewer. Remember to always supervise the use of any dog chew or toy! Nylabone, The Leader in Responsible Animal Care for Over 50 Years, has a history of playing an integral part in helping pet parents take the best possible care of their companion animals. In 1955 the first Nylabone product offering included only hard nylon bone shaped chews. Today, the Nylabone line has GROWN to include multiple sizes, shapes and flavors of chews, as well as pet carriers, plush toys and interactive toys. Recommended by veterinarians, Nylabone manufactures chews in many styles and sizes, so there is one for every dog. Nylabone's products promote good canine dental hygiene, enhance overall mental fitness, encourage positive behavior, and allow for safe, pleasant travel and shelter.

these are some old post of mine at mangahelpers discussion about bleach
i'd like to share them, because they're quite interesting
My theory:
Shirosaki is his INSTINCT which has turned into a living form, which ichigo needs to get a control of to become his ultimate "himself"..
in other words, when people got their soul chain cut off, they're instinct turns into a soul linked being with the original soul of the human, but only if the human finds his shinigami powers. the hollow is in other words the "evil" side of ichigo, which i don't really find interesting to use in bleach, we have not yet seen shirosaki making comment on like destroying everything. he just wants to take over the soul to become the ultimate himself, since he misses the human part that ichigo has. and by shirosaki's words, he said you can use my powers until i find a chance to crush your skull (because he now is cornered into the edge of the soul and has less ways to take over until ichigo is near death probably).
as for the vaizards, they used techniques to artificially surpress theyre souls into transforming slowly into a hollow, but they had the power to resist that, so the hollow is in the same position as shirosaki, but in my theory.. i think their inner hollows are different to shirosaki, since shinigami are dead human.. they don't posses the instincts they had as a human anymore, their instincts of when they were living beings has dissapeared, and thus making it easyer to handle their inner hollows, since they didnt understand why it took so long for ichigo to master just 11 seconds.. so in other words .. vaizards don't have to deal with the instict that shirosaki has..
A human posseses instincts like a animal, since practically humans are highly evolved animals.. because instinct is the nature of any living being. which hollows and shinigami's obviously do have but it's different from living beings. this also explains why ichigo learns so fast in some sorta way. let me explain this.. humans and animals have a part of their instinct which allows them to evolve and adjust theyre conditions by experiences, but due the fact humans have developed their own thoughts above their instincts while evolving, they now miss the ability of instincts since they adjust themselves by thinking how to change..
but.. ichigo was somewhat of a special person which had the adjustment instinct running at full power.. but, didn't had his natural killing instincts even running a little bit.. which he now seems to be taking control over since he actually is controlling shirosaki which i think is his battle instinct..
(the adjustment instinct adjusts his powers and reactions with any fighting experience).. just like animals do..
if you look at it this way.. you can definetly see why aizen wants ichigo on his side, or perhaps dead.. because ichigo is becoming the ultimate entity too fast.
that's it lol, sorry if some sentences were confusing.
EDIT: the instincts of adjustment like i wrote about, is what i think, the hollows and shinigamis dont have anymore since they died as humans and lost that part of instinct, only the battle instinct remains in theyre soul
EDIT: shirosaki is trying to take over ichigo's soul because normally, who wouldn't want to take over the one in lead and just like animals battle their own group for the lead of the territory, ichigo and shirosaki battle to take over the lead theyre territory AKA the soul.
next is from another thread in the bleach section about uruhara's bankaii now have another theory based on this..
Shinigami represent a part of the instinct which actually is fighting..
Hollows represent the instinct of survival..
Human represent the insticts of adjustment by experiences..
if a human is able to get its hands on shinigami powers like ichigo.. then the effect is a shinigami which's powers raise dramatically fast.. because of the fighting and adjustment instincts.. for example look at the short time that ichigo got this powerfull.
if a hollow get's it's hands on shinigami powers/or they are maintaining powers growing to shinigami powers like the arrancar.. then their survival and fighting instict raises to dramatically hights as you take the espada as an example.. this also counts for shinigami that obtain hollow powers
if a human maintains both shinigami and hollow powers.. then the three instincts combine and make it the ultimate being..
it fills in a bit with the other two

With interest rates still at historical lows, many homeowners are refinancing their mortgages to take advantage of these favorable rates before they disappear. Just how favorable are we talking?
As of March 19, 2013, interest rates are at 3.60 percent for a 30-year fixed-rate loan, according to Mortgage News Daily. This rate is pretty favorable considering just five years ago, in March 2008, interest rates for the same loan terms were at 5.92 percent.
So if you've been hesitant to refinance, now is a great time to take the plunge. But even though the refinancing process is fairly straightforward, homeowners can definitely encounter a few potholes and bumps in the road if they're not adequately prepared.
Fortunately, we talked to a few experts who shared their top tips for making your refinance as seamless as possible, and here's what they had to say.
Tip #1: Shop Around to Find a Trustworthy Lender
If you like to compare levels of service at car dealerships, hotels, and clothing stores, it's a no-brainer to take the same approach when you're refinancing your mortgage and dealing with much higher amounts of money. And Jennifer Hayden, mortgage originator at Gateway Funding Diversified Mortgage Services, LP notes that "it's important to work with a lender that you like and trust."
Emphasis on the word "trust." In fact, doing business with an untrustworthy lender could result in a refinancing process that is anything but seamless. While there are many excellent lenders around the country, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) website warns that there are also lenders who may push homeowners to make unwise - and potentially devastating - refinancing decisions. So what can you do to avoid this problem?
Fortunately, the HUD notes that shopping around is a great way to be a smart consumer and avoid predatory lenders. To find a professional who is a good match for you, Hayden suggests seeking out recommendations from friends and colleagues who've had positive experiences with their lenders.

You can also check with the Better Business Bureau to see if the lender you're considering has been accused of any unfair practices in the past. Working with a mortgage broker instead of a lender directly? You can also see if there were any complaints filed against the broker on The Association of Mortgage Professionals (NAMB)'s website, namb.org.
Tip #2: Be Thorough When Submitting Documents - And Submit Them All At Once
"Generally speaking, the more complete your loan application is, the smoother the process will be," Kahn says. That also means that submitting documents in a piecemeal fashion is not an ideal approach.
Why is it so important to turn in fully-completed documents all at once? If you turn in your information and certain documents are missing, Kahn warns that you could fall into a cycle of having to resubmit newer copies of documents you've already provided - since some have an expiration date.
But your forms aren't the only items with expiration dates. Kahn points out that your interest rate can also expire after a certain period of time. So if you drag your feet when turning in your paperwork, you could lose the rate you locked in earlier.
Hayden adds that all tax returns must be signed and all documents have to be completely legible to move forward with the refinancing process. "The resolution on a driver's license and a passport can deteriorate pretty quickly after it is copied and faxed." So she recommends taking pictures of any forms with small print and emailing those pictures to your lender to ensure that the text is legible.
"Be organized and pay attention," Hayden stresses. Doing so can help you steer clear of common road blocks so you can enjoy the smoothest route to refinancing success.
Tip #3: Avoid Large Purchases That Can Affect Your Debt-to-Income Ratio
So you found a trustworthy lender, submitted all of your paperwork together, and got approved for your refinance. Since you learned that your monthly mortgage payments will be significantly lower than they are now, time to celebrate by buying yourself that new Rolex, right?
Wrong. Hayden points out that "if a borrower makes a large purchase that has a large monthly payment associated with it, then the debt-to-income ratio will go up."
Your debt-to-income ratio is calculated by taking your total monthly debt and dividing it by your gross monthly income. Hayden says lenders usually like to see this ratio remain below 40 percent, so if you make a big purchase that pushes your ratio over that threshold it could derail your refinance.
Hayden points to a situation in which a borrower had a debt-to-income ratio that was right around 40 percent. After she bought a car, however, her ratio shot up to 60 percent and she no longer qualified for the refinance.
Not sure what counts as a large purchase? To be safe, Mark Kahn, director of sales at First Meridian Mortgage, says you should "try to keep purchases under 1 percent of your annual income before and during the refinance process."
[Think it's time to refinance? Click to compare rates from multiple lenders now.]
Tip #4: Don't Deposit Large Sums of Money into your Bank Accounts
In addition to not making large purchases during the refinance process, you should also be wary of depositing large sums of money. So if you've got a generous relative who wants to help you out with the refinancing costs, it might actually add to the headache - instead of helping it.
Here's why: Hayden says lenders require a paper trail for any account deposits that aren't routine payroll deposits. So, if you received a nice chunk of change from Grandma, you'll not only be required to submit a copy of the check, but you may also need to provide Granny's bank statement.
"Any unusually large deposit into your bank account will have to be sourced for underwriting purposes," notes Kahn. Why is this necessary? Well according to First Commerce Financial's website - a Michigan mortgage broker - this extra step helps lenders protect themselves by ensuring that borrowers aren't getting additional funds from sources like credit cards or new loans.
However, providing all the required documents for these types of irregular deposits can quickly lead to headaches for borrowers and slow down the refinancing process. So whether you're receiving a gift, a work expense reimbursement, or a medical reimbursement, Hayden notes that avoiding these types of deposits altogether will make for an easier refinance.
Tip #5: Don't Open Any New Lines of Credit
So you know a couple basics of a seamless refinance: no new watch or car, and no large monetary deposits into your accounts. Sounds simple enough, but here's one more tip to follow for a stress-free refinance: stay away from all new lines of credit - no matter how minor they may seem. And yes, that even includes store credit cards, according to Hayden.
What's the big deal about signing up for a credit card at your favorite clothing store? Well for one thing, utilizing that new line of credit can affect that debt-to-income ratio we just talked about, Hayden notes.
However, there's another risk. According to the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs, applying for several new lines of credit can have a negative impact on your credit score.
And if you think you're in the clear because you've already gotten approval for your refinance, think again. Kimberly Grim, regional vice president at Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation, points out that lenders recheck your credit score before the process is complete.
So if a borrower's credit score has decreased since the first credit check, Hayden notes that "the borrower may end up paying a higher rate of interest which may defeat the purpose of refinancing."
