I have worn Duro Soft 3 opque contacts since 1989 and I loved them. I love the aqua onces and they looked very natural and I always received compliments on my beautiful eyes. I put these Color Max Contacts in and my husband (who only notices things when something is extreme), asked me if I was goint to a Halloween Party! Then he said, "your eyes look scarey!" There is no way I can wear these contacts. I will have to keep on trying different contacts until I find one that I like and I certainly would not recommend these to anyone.

Nice color, but less comfy.
By Neemo
from Montreal, Canada
About Me Experienced wearer
I bought these to replace the accuvue color opaque which has been discontinued. The color is really nice and I do get compliments from many people. However, they are bigger lenses and do not feel as comfortable as the accuvue. They feel thicker and dryer than the accuvue. I'm able to wear them all day without much discomfort. The manufacturer said they can last up to one year with good maintenance, but I have my doubts. I'll be happy if they can last 6 months. I'm using a peroxide solution with extra moisturizing which does help. I just wish accuvue would keep on making the color opaque series. They were perfect for me.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Shocking aqua - just what I wanted!
By Skeen
from Tulsa OK
About Me Experienced wearer, New to colored lenses
I bought a pair of these to wear with a costume. The character has aqua eyes and I wanted something as close to that color as possible, which also had a prescription. These lenses fit the bill! There is no doubt I am wearing colored lenses as the color is nowhere near natural, but I have gotten nothing but compliments on them. I didn't buy them to look natural anyway! They're very comfortable, something I found surprising because I normally have very dry eyes and have to wear Acuvue Oasys.
Great, bright color
By Jojo
from Michigan
The colors are vibrant and beautiful but the lenses don't seem to last very long before they start hurting your eye and need to get new ones. After about 1 1/2 weeks they start to hurt and turn my eye very red. I wish they would last longer because they are beautiful and I LOVE the colors!! I get the green and aqua.
Beautiful color
The aqua are a beautiful color and I get lots of compliments but after a week or so they tend to irritate my eye. The product should last longer before any irritation should occur.
A++++++++++, i would buy these again

You won't look human
By Rachiecat
from Los Angeles
If what you are looking for is to look like a vampire then these are the lenses for you. I am not the person who expects color lenses to look totally natural. I am covered in tattoos and piercings and enjoy things that are far from normal, but even I think these look totally ridiculous.True color elite makes a much less expensive product that is more comfortable and gives you some flare without making people think the zombie apocalypse has started.

Not Impressed
By ArmyGirl
from Detroit, MI
About Me Experienced wearer, Switch eye colors often
I purchased the purple and the green in these lenses. The purple was way darker than it looked on the screen (and I have very light eyes). Although, the purple looks ok to wear on a daily basis. The green on the other hand looks ridiculous. The color looks fake, the contact looks fake, they might as well be Halloween eyes. I don't see myself ever wearing the green unless I want to really stand out one night. I think their are way better products out there that are actually cheaper than these and a better quality. For example, VENUS is good for light/dark eyes, and any FRESHLOOK is great for light eyes. Don't waste your money!

I would really give them 4 1/2 stars!!
By Sassyone
from Dayton OH
There are some complaints that they don't look "natural" or they are "unrealistic". Seriously?? Do you really purchase contacts in eye colors that not one person has EVER been born with and expect them to look "natural"? I own the aqua and the purple and love them both. Every time I wear them I get compliments. They are bold and beautiful without being obnoxious. The purple is not quite as bold as the aqua, and thus fewer people are taken aback when they see your eyes the first time. The only drawback is that these (as with any painted conacts) will dry your eyes out quicker than traditional disposables. Just carry eyedrops in your purse - no big deal. They are thicker than traditional disposables so they will take a few minutes to get used to, but I wouldn't call them uncomfortable by any stretch. My only true complaint is they only come in an 8.6 base curve. My daily contact prescription is for an 8.3 BC. I would like to get them in my normal curve so they don't wiggle on my eye occasionally.

By NEMS Daily Journal
BOSTON – A year after record-setting heat left organizers thinking about canceling the race, the forecast looked good for today's edition
of the Boston Marathon.
Temperatures at sunrise will climb to the upper 40s by the time the race
starts in Hopkinton at 9 a.m. CDT It should be in the mid- to high 50s at the Back Bay finish line.
It hit a high of 89 degrees last year, when race organizers offered an unprecedented deferment to runners who opted to sit it out. About 2,300 people took them up on it and will run this year instead.
They'll be part of the field of 27,000 for the 117th edition of the race.
At least a handful of area runners make the trip to Boston each year. We'll try to have their results in Tuesday's Journal.

Stand-Up Tragedy and Other Disasters
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2005
An hour of Funny songs and offbeat humour from the Free Fringe's legendary comedic showman Peter Buckley Hill.
Original Review:
Peter Buckley Hill is a leftover from a half-forgotten generational netherworld of comedy.
Between the post-Goons Spike Milligan and the point when Monty Python was lionised (which was well after the series finished) there was a world of anarcho-surrealism epitomised by acts like sadly-forgotten duo The Alberts, the early Greatest Show on Legs, Marcel Steiner and the Sir Henry elements of The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.
PBH is an anarchic showman firmly in the mould of this freewheeling era of surrealist entertainers who knew their comedy roots.
One sections of the show, for example, is called Great Books In Sheep – classic literature such as Wuthering Heights and Pride & Prejudice, dramatised by Peter with the use of two toy sheep.
This is a show where audience participation is called 'joining in' and one song is entitled My Great Uncle Thinks He's An Anorak.
Peter Buckley Hill left his full house audience smiling, warm and happy but, really, as I'm sure Peter would readily admit, this is the same old cobblers that has been peddled for the last 30 years. Malcolm Hardee peddled cobblers too, but he managed to keep it feeling fresh.
Admittedly shambolic and freewheeling, this show is also - as you might expect - free to attend and it is well worth that admission price.
Older Comments
The person who wrote this is a tit, to say the least. On what basis is idiot boy "sure I would readily admit this is the same old cobblers that has been peddled for the last 30 years"? Did he ask? No. The apex of his own wit seems to consist of "free to attend and worth the price", and the little arsehole probably thinks he's the first person to think of that line. I take exception to this, not because I need the audience or the approval of jumped-up ejaculation stains who need to sneer at the work of others to try and feel big, but because this shit is precisely what's ruining the Fringe. I do free shows, in part, to break the cycle of expectation. If people don't like it, they can leave with no damage or resentment. It's a square deal and benefits everybody. Obviously idiot boy hasn't grasped that. Slagging off a free show is like being quality controller at Poundsaver. Reviewers are the lowest form of life and make no contribution to the art whatsoever. They'd do the world a better service by dying.

Old Testament Reading
Document Actions
Genesis 17:1-9
When Abram was ninety-nine years old the LORD appeared to Abram, and said to him, "I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless. And I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly." Then Abram fell on his face; and God said to him, "Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations. No longer shall your name be Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations. I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come forth from you. And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you. And I will give to you, and to your descendants after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God."

In limbo as I have been since the NGE. SWTOR was a complete and total bust for me. I bought the download, and now it looks like I will never even enter my product key and register it since I had a chance to play it in two betas and now early game access. I'm pretty much done at this point.
We have no sandbox or even a decent hybrid to call home, that's for sure.
I'm interested in Guild Wars 2 next year, even though it is a themepark, but even more than that I am watching The Secret World and ArchAge (sandbox, looks good on paper - don't they all?)
Other than this, I feel screwed. I feel like I keep waiting for one of these companies to get it right again and create meaningful gameplay and adventuring. I can't take the spoon-fed themeparks. Ever waiting to throw my money at someone.
I think it says something that at one time I was paying for three paid accounts in SWG at $45/month, yet the thought of even spending $15 on today's garbage games makes me ill. SWTOR for $60 + 15/month... don't make me laugh!
A sure sign that you are in an old, dying paradigm/mindset, is when you are scared of new ideas and new technology. Don't feel bad. The world is moving on without you, and you are welcome to yell "Get Off My Lawn!" all you want while it happens. You cannot, however, stop an idea whose time has come.
I feel bad for the players that stuck with it after the NGE fiasco as they had to deal with not only SOE's constant idiocy but the idiocy of the "vets" who never learned to just move on. I refused to stick with it because once all my friends left, there was no reason to stick with it. I never liked the system to begin with and my guild was the only reason I played it as long as I did. Once they left, I left. I will certainly never support an SOE MMO ever again.
I'll be playing TOR once the box arrives in a few days. I played it in beta and really enjoyed it. Far as other MMOs go, I'm just not interested in paying a sub for a boring leveling experience, which is what most of them have. The whole "endgame is where it is at" mindset just doesn't do it for me. I
Currently Playing: Star Wars The Old Republic
I started playing SWG around mid 2004, it was my sophmore year in college, and at that point I hadn't jumped on the MMORPG bandwagon. At that time the thought of paying a continuous fee to play a game still seemed crazy. I had been playing the single player offerings at that time, and I can remember feeling dissapointed with the size of the small worlds, and longing for a game that presented a larger world. So, I saw the SWG Collector's Edition in CompUSA one day, mulled it over for a couple more days, and decided to take a chance, and the rest is history as they say...
I played the hell out of SWG, and even through the Combat Upgrade, but when SOE crapped out the NGE, I was done. The game that I had grown to love in many ways died. After that soccer punch, I began looking for something to replace SWG (which by the way, can never be done, SWG is too unique), and stumbled onto Eve-Online and I've been there ever since. I've don't suspect I will be leaving any time soon either considering the garbage that passes for MMORPGs these days.
I've got my eye on a few MMOs, but I'm not holding my breath. GW2 is still very much a themepark, ArchAge is too Asian, the two that I think show the most promise are Pathfinder Online and maybe the Secret World. I suspect that I'll be playing SWG once again when one of the Emulator projects is released, I'm eager to relive the past and make more memories in SWG, there is still much more to experience. That's the nice thing about sandboxes...
TOR on the other hand is no replacement, and just a sad waste of time and money. It's faults and shortcommings have been expounded upon ad infinitum, so I see no need to state them again. Needless to say, I won't be playing it... EVER!
I played SWG from launch till NGE, and returned now and then after that.
I was; Enki, Evile, and Shohadaku on Gorath server. I also played the pilot Enki on Starsider. Iron Circle was my guild in SWG, and we moved to Juyo server on TOR.
Knights of Iron is the Republic side, Iron Circle is Empire.
My Sith is named Evile
My Republic (inactive atm due to using my sith) is Enki.
Still doing my same-old, same-old: SOE Station Pass (whatever they call it now), so I can dip in and out of EQ, EQ2, Vanguard. Maybe I could try Planetside for a change. Or EQOA if I cared to scare up an old PS2. I still have a CoH sub, and played that a couple times this week. WOW has a 20-level freebie, but that's pretty boring. AoC has a freebie too, tho I have nothing high enough to hit the free-to-play/pay-to-win divide.
On the single-player side, I recently played thru "The Longest Journey" again (great game), and "Dreamfall". Come on, Funcom! That series has been a dangling cliff-hanger since SWG hit the fan!
For total retro, I picked up and started "Fallout", with "Fallout 2" when I finish it. I was about a third of the way thru "Tron 2.0" before I rebuilt my system (but kept my saved games so I wouldn't have to start over).
And I'm still several "Tomb Raider" games behind the present. Starting with SWG, online gaming really sucked up all my available gaming time.
I gave SWTOR a try, but did not even stay the first month.
Now i am playing Vanguard, looks like some others are giving it a try also.
I am looking forward to Archage, Repopulation, Darktide ... perhaps one of these games will become a new home..

Been bouncing back and forth between WoW and other MMO's since the NGE myself, but heading to TOR for the foreseeable future.
What about you?
I played SWG(on starsider mostly) right after the NGE hit. on and off for years. missed pre-cu, and didn't even know about mmo's before then. sad to see it die. I've played EVE. I tried TOR. grinded an imperial agent high enough to get the most beautiful ship in TOR, the phantom. turns out, it's only beautiful while docked. the space game in TOR is so fucked up, the phantom looks like a purple pancake when you actually fly it, and the space mini-game itself isn't even starfox; it's starfox's asshole. my Z-95 starter ship in SWG was better. I tried entropia. good game, if you like a virtual casino, and you enjoy spending lots of money, because that shit ISN'T FREE. their space game doesn't truly exist yet. kinda bare bones. some ships, even caps, but the whole thing lacks, big-time. they say a space expansion is coming; we'll see ^^ I don't know where to go from here, but I'm sticking to what I said on this forum last year:
If I see one more fucking elf, I'll go on a jihad.
I mean it.
SWTOR until I hit 50 and a little beyond but its pretty much a let down as I expected it to be.
Have a toe in LOTRO but their annoucement of another expansion with 10 more levels means more grind, grind, grind.
Maybe I'll go read a good book.
SWG 2003-2011 Quit playing TOR recently and started playing Ultima Online, maybe dabble in DAOC again.
I'm liking TERA atm. Still scratching the itch....
Sorry for those who think SWG ended in 2011, that game died when the NGE was forced on the player base.
As for what i am doing in the interim, i try out most any MMOs, none have come close to what SWG provided, i am very interested in GW2 though, the dev blog about the WvWvW PvP has gotten me very excited.
Was considering TERA, but i dunno very on the fence with that game. The Secret World also has me very intrigued. Basically if you provide me with a decent World PvP environment where it means something, i think i will have a strong interest in it.

Damn you!
SWG is still alive in my heart along with my muon gold addiction.
I'm playing Linkrealms beta. You guys should join me.
Was in SWTOR for 2 months, end game after reaching level 50 is very weak. Going to SWGEMU. Ha HA
SWG ended and started playing SWTOR the next day. Gonna play TSW when that comes out and hopefully play that until The Repop, Dominus, or ArcheAge comes out. Or TSW could keep me hooked. SWTOR is fun but its not a long term game for me.
I sit on a man's back, choking him and making him carry me, and yet assure myself and others that I am very sorry for him and wish to ease his lot by all possible means - except by getting off his back.
Where am I headed? Definitely not SWTOR, or any MMORPGs anymore for that matter. Been playing alot of Skyrim, dusted off BF2, and playing Sins of a Solar Empire with the mod, "Sins of a Galactic Empire" for some Star Wars flavor.
"I have only two out of my company and 20 out of some other company. We need support, but it is almost suicide to try to get it here as we are swept by machine gun fire and a constant barrage is on us. I have no one on my left and only a few on my right. I will hold." (First Lieutenant Clifton B. Cates, US Marine Corps, Soissons, 19 July 1918)
Im going to those places im not allowed to mention here on this forum, or i will be banned, because they are not official.
in no specific order
DDO/NFSW/WoW/SWTOR/APB:R/DCU:O/CoH/did try to get in to Fallen Earth but could not be arsed to open the ports needed
Or to put it simple... As far away from SWG and the remains of it's community as i can. Yeah it was a fun game and all but it is dead and gone.
But if you like the style, give Project Entropia/Entropia Universe a shot. You can invest a normal monthly fee and get tons of fun out of it and it is fairly livley in some points.. sure it has not lightsabres but otoh it has coats that sell for several hundra dollars.. real money.
This have been a good conversation

If you meant Dawntide (Darktide) there's bad news... apparently they've run out of funds and shut down.
Guild Wars 2.
And keeping an eye on Archeage and Planetside 2.
I cant recommend GW2 because op wants a real MMO, not some "max level in 3 days" game. Cant recommend SWTOR because its too linear and no sandbox.
So here is hoping Archage is the answer.
So really i will admit i first started SWG on release day and i was drawn to it because it was Star Wars, but what kept me playing that game was the mechanics, the Raph Koster influence on the whole game.
While not a single game since right before the NGE has really held my attention like SWG did, i have tried several MMOs since.
Nothing has grabbed my attention like the sandbox gameplay as SWG did. Themeparks just plain bore me to death, i have tried them all and lost interest in all of them in a matter of weeks/months.
If Raph Koster made a new game based around his ideas and not tied into a major "ip" i would jump on that game in a heartbeat. Maybe we could get him to start a kickstarter project ?
Anyhow i am waiting on GW2, TSW, Dominus, and eventually ArcheAge.
As a side thought here, if EvE ever implemented ship interiors and then ship to ship boarding and assaults i would join that game in a flat second, or if some space game did that. Space combat like SWG but individual players could lead assaults on other player ships..... such a dream of mine.

Italy secured a four-try 27-10 victory over the USA in Nelson in a result that means Pool C will go right down to the wire on Sunday.
Italy secured a four-try 27-10 win over the USA at Trafalgar Park on Tuesday in a result that means Pool C will go right down to the wire on Sunday.
The five-point success sees the Azzurri go level on points with the Wallabies – who play Russia on Saturday – and just three behind Ireland.
It wasn't pretty from the Italians but they will not be losing sleep over that as it was a case of mission accomplished before they go down to Dunedin.
Captain and number eight Sergio Parisse opened the scoring after being handed a lovely offload from lock Cornelius van Zyl while further scores from Luciano Orquera, Martin Castrogiovanni and a penalty try saw them pick up a maximum haul.
The Eagles looked to have been offering stiff competition when Chris Wyles claimed ten points via a try, conversion and penalty inside the first half-hour, but the power of Italy eventually told as the States ended the 2011 Rugby World Cup with a solitary win.
On the back of Parisse's slick score, Tommaso Benvenuti almost got over on the right wing but failed to hang on after good defensive scrambling. And it was then the turn of the Eagles, who levelled after good initial line-breaking work from Paul Emerick seeing Wyles go in for a converted score.
Bergamasco and Wyles traded penalties in the next 10 minutes for the teams to remain locked together. But Orquera sliced through from close range for a 15-10 lead in the 30th minute after some adept mauling and pick-and-go work from his forwards.
Castrogiovanni was held up over the line not long before the break, but the bearded prop wasn't to be denied on the stroke of half-time. He ensured Italy's sustained pressure on the Eagles' line was rewarded by powering over to give his team a ten-point (20-10) half-time lead.
Italy couldn't make their considerable possession and territory advantage count as time slipped away after the break and the pressure mounted for the all-important fourth try.
America's blindside flanker Louis Stanfill was sin-binned for one scrummaging infringement too many, and still the Eagles held firm.
It couldn't last. One scrum too many went down, and referee George Clancy ran under the posts to signal the penalty try in the 66th minute that relieved the tension in Italy's camp.
Man of the match: USA centre Paul Emerick was impressive every time he touched the ball while Sergio Parisse was his usual destructive self. However, for his scrummaging and try-scoring effort we go with Martin Castrogiovanni. His clash with Cian Healy should be epic.
Moment of the match: Italy needed that bonus-point try and when it came on 66 minutes – via a penalty try – one could see the relief all around. Job done, mission accomplished.
Villain of the match: Another clean game at World Cup 2011.

I think "doing" is a copula in this instance.
I wonder if this isn't one of those things we should just accept as a part of our changing language. I hear so many d-bags at my job saying "I'm well" i could scream.
Good is recognized as an adverb.
From Merriam-Webster:
Main Entry: good
Function: adverb
Date: 13th century
1 : well (he showed me how good I was doing — Herbert Gold)
2 —used as an intensive (a good long time)
Usage: Adverbial good has been under attack from the schoolroom since the 19th century. Insistence on well rather than good has resulted in a split in connotation: well is standard, neutral, and colorless, while good is emotionally charged and emphatic. This makes good the adverb of choice in sports ("I'm seeing the ball real good" is what you hear — Roger Angell). In such contexts as (listen up. And listen good— Alex Karras) (lets fly with his tomatoes before they can flee. He gets Clarence good— Charles Dickinson) good cannot be adequately replaced by well. Adverbial good is primarily a spoken form; in writing it occurs in reported and fictional speech and in generally familiar or informal contexts.
Dictionary.com also recognizes "good" as an informal "well".
When Toofer says he is doing good, the context eliminates any ambiguity. Tracy asks "how" Toofer is doing and not "what" he is doing; therefore, it is clear that Toofer does not mean he is doing meritorious works, but that he is in a state of well-being.
I'm a big sitcom fan, but I'll admit to never watching 30 Rock. It's odd, because it's on between Earl and The Office, both of which I watch every week.
I think it's because I never "got" Tracy Morgan. I don't think he's funny and I don't see what the fuss is about. He strikes me as one of those guys who just wandered into something.
Anthony, I agree about Tracy Morgan — though I loved his Brian Fellow character on SNL, he's not really my cup of tea. And, to be honest, it takes a bit of time to warm up to him on the show.
But with Tiny Fey and the incredible Alec Baldwin (this is the role he was born to play!) leading the stellar cast, you will grow to love Tracy Jordan and his antics!
That's interesting about the adverbial "good".
It bothers me when people get riled up about "being good" or "doing good" because I've never understand why "good" could not be used as a subjective complement / predicate adjective.
You might be happy to learn, as I was while reading the Boston Sunday Globe this weekend, that March 5th is National Grammar Day. Unfortunately, it is not National GOOD Grammar Day, so I fear it will likely be a day just like every other……

Why choose Gandi for your hosting service?
A redundant network infrastructure
Our network is based on a fully redundant infrastructure managed by Gandi itself. We use VSS technology to maintain the highest level of resilience and service availability whilst simplifying the architecture.
We manage our own AS (Autonomous System, a network or group of networks managed by a common administrative entity), and we have several transit providers which assure a redundant connectivity and an optimal availability from France or internationally.
We have numerous peering agreements (direct connection agreements) with many of the principal European Internet providers.
Our network infrastructure is distributed over 4 data centers, assuring redundancy in case of a problem.
The network hosting infrastructure is completely redundant to compensate for any service disruptions. We have, at each site, two different fiber optic links assuring a connection to the rest of our network and the Internet.
Our network infrastructure's equipment, technology, and selected partners give us the ability to act quickly when network updates are required.
The servers of our hosting platform are powered by two independent power sources, allowing full availability in case of a failure of either one of the two supplies.
Our infrastructure is continually monitored and our technical team notified in case of any major problems 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Hemmertime (to go): what say you?
Robin Brownlee
October 17 2009 11:07AM
Trade Ales Hemsky? That's crazy talk... isn't it?
I've long thought so, bemoaning the inclination of Edmonton Oilers fans to lament what Hemsky isn't instead of appreciating him for what he is -- a ridiculously talented and creative player -- but debate whether he should be dealt persists.
That debate has picked up steam through the first seven games this season as Hemsky, despite a decent start, has sometimes appeared disinterested and, for those who believe in body language, sullen and unhappy. We don't know that to be so, but some people think it.
There was a buzz in the rink Friday when Hemsky didn't take the morning skate with the Oilers at Rexall Place. Didn't feel like skating? In the back room asking GM Steve Tambellini for a trade?
It turned out Hemsky wasn't feeling well and ended up being scratched for a 5-2 win over the Minnesota Wild. A fever, coach Pat Quinn said. Hmm, fever, we all nodded. OK. Sick and tired of Edmonton?
Sorry, that just slipped out.
Better than good?
What seems to frustrate the Trade Hemsky contingent is that he's a very good player who many think should be great. He's a highlight reel waiting to happen, but some argue that when you add up the numbers, he's style over substance. Why can't Hemsky be balls-out all the time instead of only when he feels like it? Where is the "next level" we keep hearing about?
Back on Aug. 13 I wrote:
"All I know, as Hemsky celebrates his 26th birthday in the Czech Republic after a summer of tooling around in his Ferrari, is he's a magnificent talent and the best player the Oilers have by a fair margin. For my money, even if Hemsky doesn't "get better," he's not going anywhere during the term of this contract.
"Instead of bitching about what Hemsky isn't, fans should be applauding what he is. That, and demanding that GM Steve Tambellini get the birthday boy some help."
I'm not ready to come off that stance just yet, but I've got to admit that I haven't liked what I've seen from Hemsky this season. Even taking into account his laid-back and sometimes stand-offish personality, he seems somewhat detached and disconnected. Let me make it clear, again, I don't know that to be the case. Appearances can be misleading.
As good as it gets?
A big part of the argument for keeping Hemsky is that his $4.1 million cap hit ($4.4 million salary this season) is a bargain. I'm one of the people who has made that argument.
It's interesting, though, to take a look at Hemsky in comparison to Dustin Penner and Andrew Cogliano, both of whom were deemed expendable enough to be packaged in the Dany Heatley deal with Ottawa that came undone this summer.
Hemsky's cap hit has long been lauded as one of the better, if not the best, contract of Kevin Lowe's tenure as GM. Penner's deal, on the other hand, has been widely criticized as one of the worst.
Until his hot start this season, PDP had been characterized by many as a lazy, out-of-shape underachiever after he agreed to a five-year offer sheet worth $21.25 million. His cap hit is $4.25 million.
Cogliano, meanwhile, is the low-rent guy of the threesome with a salary of $850,000 in the third and final year of his entry level contract. He's the youngest of the three.
Fun with numbers
I've always argued statistics on their own can be misleading, especially when cherry-picked to support a point. Let me do exactly that with some simple boxcars. It's food for thought, even taken with a grain of salt.
Statistics listed are from the start of the 2007-08 season through the first seven games this season.
- Hemsky is the runaway leader in points with 142. Penner is next with 93 and Cogliano is third with 88.
- Penner has scored 45 goals. Hemsky has 44 and Cogliano 38.
- Penner and Cogliano have scored nine game-winning goals. Hemsky has scored four game-winning goals.
- Hemsky's average ice time in the previous two seasons was 18:34 and 18:38. Penner averaged 17:12 and 15:22. Cogliano attained his numbers averaging 13:39 and 14:24.
That's far from a comprehensive statistical analysis, but it's interesting how these particular numbers jibe with the perception Hemsky is a bargain and Penner, until this season, has been a dog. Speaking strictly in terms of bang-for-the-buck using these numbers, Cogliano is the real bargain, no?
You tell me
For those of you who, for whatever reason, think Hemsky should be traded, I'd like to know who you think he should be traded for and why based on team needs and, of course, keeping in mind the salary cap.
Do you move him for another right winger in a straight swap? Do you trade him for a centre? And, if you do, who moves where? A left winger?
And, please, resist the urge to even think of bringing up Alexander Ovechkin, Evgeni Malkin, Sidney Crosby and the like for Hemsky and spare parts.
On the flipside, if you're in the camp that thinks Hemsky remains a player to build around and are of the mind he needs a centre or left winger to take him to that obviously elusive "next level," tell me who can help get the job done. And who from the current roster do you trade to get that player?

saved you some editing there bingofuel.. now on topic i think its crazy to trade hemsky.Hemmer is the best player on the team and when hes on one of the best in the league. I'm not sure where we can get a left winger for him but the biggest name this season will be kovalchuk so im betting we make a run at him if he doesnt resign in atlanta
Hemsky isn't going anywhere he was sick with the flu. He always has been a bit streeky. I think penner is going to have an awesome year playing with O'Sullivin.
October 17 2009, 11:19AM
Trade talk is ridiculous. Even playing at half speed he's been one of our top producers.
I think Horpensky has to be reunited, and if Hemsky still struggles then its time to worry. Robin, I have heard rumors that Hemsky may be dealing with an actual injury, not just the flu, have you heard anything like that? He does seem less willing than usual to go into the corners and along the boards against guys at full speed.
October 17 2009, 11:30AM
yeah don't trade him even though this contract problem will be coming up shortly.
October 17 2009, 11:33AM
If he DEMANDED a trade, I'd ask for a top tier shooter. We have enough guys that can pass the puck. I would almost ask for Alex Semin from the Cap's. Something else might have to go their way but he's an incredibly skilled guy and can absolutely wire the puck. Hemsky would be the only player on this roster to make a deal like that go through. Even said though, I wouldn't trade Hemsky unless he forced my hand. $4.1 is a good price tag for a 70+ point right wing. And in all honesty I wouldn't be surprised if t he reason he was pissed was because of who he is playing with. He's the only legit top line guy we have at this point, and playing with Whiffcoff and Coke-machines must be kind of disappointing. Can't remember which game it was, but remember the look he gave Jaques when JFJ missed him completely with a pass in the neutral zone off the rush? I think thats why he's pissed.
October 17 2009, 11:34AM
We should totally trade Hemsky and Reddox for Ovechkin!
Seriously, Hemsky is not going anywhere. How many of you took Penner (Or Cogs) over Hemsky in your draft? Exactly.
Anyone who wants to trade him should have their head examined. He is a great talent and isn't having that bad of a season. (only 7 games!!)
He will come around just like Penner. You don't trade that kind of value until at least the last year of a contract and even then you better get something great back.
He may be on our 'first' line but that means he draws the other teams best line or their toughest checkers. That gives our other lines more opportunity to take advantage and for once in three years they are doing that.
Cut the kid some slack and chill out. So many Oiler fans are perpetually unhappy no matter what happens on the ice or what the stats are. A couple games of Hemsky goals will shut these morons up. After all, we don't see too many posts demanding a Penner trade these days, do you?
We should totally trade Hemsky and Reddox for Ovechkin!

Hemsky should not be traded. Best players the Oilers have and is a top line right winger on any team in the league. If the Oilers had to trade him because he demands one or whatever it would have to be in a package to pick up a player like Kovolchuck or Savard, someone who can get 100+ points.
October 17 2009, 11:41AM

October 17 2009, 11:43AM
The biggest reason we shouldn't trade Hemmer is his contract. He's one of the top RWs in the League, and he's just over a 4 Mil cap hit.
Every other team would have interest in a player like that with his contract - even if he still hasn't hit his "potential". Maybe even *especially* since he hasn't hit his potential.
Of course, the flip side pf this is that his value is huge, and he could get some great pieces back for him. With our cap situation right now, they would have to be prospect-types I would think.

100-plus points? You might want to add up the number of players in the NHL who have scored 100 points in the past three seasons. While you're at it, take a look at their salaries.

'Twas a sarcastic response to the "shift holding-trade Penner now-OMG Hemsky hates Edmonton" types.

No way you trade Hemsky. He's far and away the best forward on the team and he is a hell of a deal contract wise.
As far as bringing in a player to take him to that next level I'm not sure that we don't already have that guy in Gagner. He isn't ready for the job yet but should be soon - next season maybe.
Right now I just don't see how you can bring in that top line player without seriously risking what the team has already built. Slow and steady needs to be the mantra for this team. It will happen don't rush it.
This suggestion boggles my mind, only based on the fact that people in this town have a short fuse. This trade suggestion got out of hand when the Oilers lost to Chicago. It is purely a product of fans ridiculous expectations after 6 games. I really think he looks disinterested to Oiler fans because the other team everyone else watches has Ovechkin and co. fly around with the youth and vigor that every other team in the league would die for. We seem to expect the same out of Hemsky, which if you step back is ridiculous at this point. A new coach and new system, where these other teams like Chicago and Washington have had at least a year to work on their system with skilled players. Don't get me wrong, I am with Brownlee... for the right price anyone is tradeable. That doesn't mean we have to start thinking about it when he has 5 points in 6 games and we are only 7 games into the season. I guess the next time he gets an assist he will have to kiss his right glove, stare at the sky and drop to one knee... would that make him 'interested'?
October 17 2009, 11:50AM
One thing to consider is that Hemsky had a slow start last year too (9GP - 0G - 7A - 7PTS, -4). His numbers this year are an improvement on that, and his play isn't quite that level of bad.
I think the team keeps the player at least until he's approaching UFA season, and then they can consider a change if contract negotiation doesn't go well.
As for reaching the next level, I'm not sure how high he can go, but one thing that would help is giving him a LW who had more than one point in 60 games entering the season.
I am not down on Hemsky but it seems clear he is never going to dominate when the other team gets physical on him. The Oilers are starting to rebuild a tougher team.
The Oilers have two choices. Build a more physical team around Hemsky or trade Hemsky to get a more physical player. I like option 2 if possible.
Hemsky for James Neal?
Hemsky for Tyler Myers and a 2nd rounder?
Basically, Hemsky for an up and coming power forward. The Oilers have enough pure skill guys (Cogs, O'Sullivan, Gagner, Nilsson, next two years MPS and Eberle). They need get somone from the Getzlaf tree who can plow through checks, hit, and score.
October 17 2009, 11:52AM
@Jonathan Willis
Agree 100%.
October 17 2009, 11:53AM
With pretty much the entire league capped out, I don't think we would like the returning value in terms of immediate impact. You almost have to go dollar for dollar.
October 17 2009, 12:00PM
Personally I wouldn't trade Hemsky. But if I was Tambs and I was told too I would use Hemsky + whatever is needed to bring Pat Kane over and build the team around Gagner and Kane.
I like Hemsky. He's probably my favorite player in the NHL. So of course I don't want to trade him. Even if he were really struggling, which he's not, his combination of (1) a great contract, (2) being a nice bridge between the young guys and the vets, (3) his clutch performances, and (4) his high end potential make him one of the untouchables*
*Of course, nobody is off limits. But Hemsky should be as close to that as anybody on this team.
I think this disinterested stuff is a carry over from last year, and Hemsky almost seems like he's going out of his way to play like a third liner. He has very little offensive creativity this year, maybe he's bought into the system too well?
IF there is a deal to be made, I would try packaging Gilbert in exchange for an established scorer like Kovalchuk.

James Neal? The 44 points in 83 games with Dallas James Neal? The guy has some tools, as we just saw, but that's going way over the top for a guy who could be nothing more than Flavour of the Month.
I have always been on the fence with Hemsky. I agree that he is a major talent and when he is on, there arent many that are better. However, I do not know of any other star player like him that gives the puck up as much as he does or the play ends with him. I find it overly frustrating to watch him because for every one amazing play he makes he makes 3-4 boneheaded plays.
One could argue this is because he is trying to do too much given the quality of his linemates. If you are going to keep him, I would look at going after someone to compliment him on the first line. There are two potential UFA's out there that I think fit the bill. Patrick Marleau - big centre who scores or Ilya Kovulchuk - he just plain scores. Normally I would say neither of them would be available but given their contract status, one never knows. Maybe Atlanta would take Horcoff since they have the cap space.
If I were to trade Hemsky I would go for either a top centerman, power forward or a top 2 stay at home defenceman. Names that come to mind are Milan Lucic in Boston, Brooks Orpik in Pittsburg (imagine hemsky and sid or hemsky and malkin)or maybe even Jordan Staal in Pittsburg. I am sure there are many more comparables but that is just a few.
I think the Oilers either need to get him a centre and/or a pure sniper or trade him.
October 17 2009, 12:27PM
Why do we always have these "so and so needs to be traded" debates? (not directed at you Robin, but the mases who do it daily).
Unless a guy is a cancer, you don't trade solid NHL'ers just to trade him. That said their should't be one untouchable player on this roster, if I was Tambs I'd let the league know that I'm always open to offers.
Simply put, if thiers a deal out there that is felt will improve the team, the trigger should be pulled... regardless of who the player is.
I just see no reason to trade him at all. His pay is reasonable so thats not a good reason to trade him. He has 5 points in six games again not a very good reason to trade him. I could go on but the fact remains it would be the dumbest trade in the history of hockey and anybody thinking otherwise needs to give there heads a shake or head over to the alberta hospital to at least get evaluated.
We need somebody to make Hemsky better who is also better then Hemsky to get a legit first line thats dangerous. Horcoff should not be his partner. He needs someone more creative. He needs a legit first line center Horcoff can earn his 5.5 playing in a second line/third line role. Plus as of right now Penner should be on his LW the way he is playing. So lets focus on filling in the blanks Penner-______-Hemsky instead of making more blanks.
Please, whoever said we could trade Hemsky for Semin is ridiculous. Semin, if healthy, can put 80-90 points up. The two don't compare, although their salaries are somewhat similar.
I have long been a proponent of trading Hemsky. When on, he can change the game, but when off, he contributes little. Unfortunately he is more off than anything. One amazing play every 2-3 games does not equal a star player. In fact, he kills the play far more often than he creates a scoring chance, in my opinion. He is willing to go into the corners and take a hit, most of the time, I'll give him that, but he is not a physical guy.
We have been trying to find players who can play with Hemsky for years, and have been unable to (Horcoff can, I suppose, but most likely because of sheer time served with him). In all instances we have found other players at fault for not connecting with him, never have we questioned whether it might be Hemsky himself. The guy is great, but he does not play well with others. That is not how to create a successful line or team. You need lines fitting together well and playing the system. You don't have a winning team by having one star doing whatever he thinks is best and having two other guys scrambling to keep up and figure out what the hell he's going to do next. Is he going to cut across the offensive blue-line and put us all offside again? Is he going to go straight in, go around the net, come back to the blue line and give the puck away (9X out of 10), or make a highlight reel play? Is he going to be pissed at other players for fumbling a pass, or try and create some chemistry instead of demanding others to adapt to HIS game. These are just many of my reasons for saying we should move on. So before people go nuts, I acknowledge his ability, and the benefit of his salary, and the fact that no-one else has the same skill set on the Oilers, but, I don't think he is the best fit for this team. And I don't see a place for him when the likes of Gagner, O'Sullivan, and Cogliano mature, or when players like Paajarvi-Svensson and Eberle make it to the show.
Hemsky should be traded now, not because his 'value' might be diminishing with his continued play, that's ridiculous, but because of his contract. He could be a great fit on another team, has great numbers, and a good price. The return could really help this team. I suggest getting a player like Dustin Brown in return. He's slightly cheaper, signed long-term, skilled and physical, and he leaves it all on the ice. We have a small team, and a player like him could seriously open things up for guys like Gagner. His addition would solidify the character of the team Quinn is shooting for and make us much harder to play against. If we could steal another player out of it, like W. Simmonds, with some spare parts, than that would be even better. Brown can slot in on the RW, or the LW, so he can fill Hemsky's spot. I might suggest:
Penner - Horcoff - Brown Jacques - Gagner - O'Sullivan Cogliano - Comrie - Stone/Pisani Moreau - Brule - Stortini
And if he goes nowhere, I really hope he comes around because the guy can change the game. I pray he makes me eat my words, for the team.
October 17 2009, 12:29PM
No way. Perhaps Tambo might get him someone to play with before we actually run our most skilled player out of town? Yes, I know "Skilled players should elevate the players around them." Sometimes, however, like ya gotta meet dirt with dirt, skill has to go with skill.
Oh, and, for the love of all that is decent and holy, please stop with the Kovalchuk fantasies. Reality and sobriety aren't as much fun as chemically-induced Christmas wish lists, I know, but they're good places to visit, even if you don't want to establish permanent residency there.
October 17 2009, 12:30PM
thats crazy talk. maybe he doesn't look as magical so far this year and probably should have peaked already, but he's too good to get rid of. he just needs someone to play with that complements him then he wouldn't seem so bored and disinterested.
October 17 2009, 12:31PM
His goal totals are slowly going up, you can count on him for 20 goals and 70+ points a year. For that cap hit it's great deal. If he never gets any better, who cares. it's not like her shows flashes and gets 40 points, that's when you trade a guy.The Oilers need more high point producing players, not less.
I also like the idea of keeping draft "successes" around. Develop and breed your players from within.It's how teams win.
October 17 2009, 12:31PM
Trading Hemsky would be a PR disaster for the Oilers!! If you look around Rexall during any game, it seems as though 75% of the jersey wearing fans are sporting the #83. Losing a player with such a fan base would be extremely difficult to recover from.
I agree with J Willis and all the rest who have been waiting desperately for the Oil to pick up a winger to play with the guy. Someone like Frolov in LA or Eriksson in Dallas would be nice finishers for Hemsky. But, going the other way...?? How many teams want undersized forwards? Maybe Nilsson (poor guy is in every move!) or Potulny and Grebs
Hemsky for Lucic???
in a heartbeat for me
Hemsky is going nowhere...that is if we are relying on Tambellini, the Ditherer, making a creative and timely move. On the other hand when his current contract expires I expect 'the Hemmer' to be long gone. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go back to Europe to play for bigger money, less games and Mom's sauerkraut soup.
I think the point of who/what he is as an athlete vs our expectations is a valid observation. My personal frustration with him is that the play often ends with him. His moves are becoming old hat and he often hangs on to the puck until he gets boxed in and checked. He doesn't lack the ability to adapt...he lacks the willingness to adapt. Ales is in my view somewhat of a selfish player. He wants to play the game only as and when he sees fit. He is not a great team player in my view. In other words I don't think he has problems getting along with the team. I think he is failing to put the team goals, objectives and style of play ahead of his preferred style of play.
I think that lack of enthusiasm this year is the Hemmer's version of being passive aggressive. You are right RB the body language is likely an indiation of troubles ahead.
October 17 2009, 12:40PM
If I had to trade Hemsky, I would look towards Boston to see what they want for Burke's 1st round pick. I know it's not a great hockey trade, but it would be entertaining.
October 17 2009, 12:43PM
Hemsky - 26yrs 6' 192lb $4.1 till 11/12 Nilsson- 24yrs 5'-11" 185lb $2 till 10/11
Horton - C/W -24yrs 6'-2" 229lb $4 till 12/13 Kulikov - D -18yrs 6'-1" 183 $1.325 till 11/12
Florida takes on $0.775 mil but have $4.05 mil space. We get a power forward who has 108 goals in the last 4 years compared to Hemmer's 75 goals. We also get a young 1t round d-man with lots of potential. Here is his draft profile from mynhldraft.com: "Kulikov is a smooth skating, poised defenseman who will only get better with age. He racked up 62 points (12g+50a) in only 57 games, as he missed time play for team Russia in the WJC. At only 17 he moved from his native Russia to play in the QMJHL for Drumondville and the move has done wonders for his draft ranking. His biggest strengths are his flawless puck moving, his skating and his awareness at both ends of the ice. This kid has very few weaknesses but he could certainly be more physical, but to do that he needs to put on some muscle, as he is listed as 6-1, 190. Scouts love this kid because they know exactly what they will get from him, a smart, slick defenseman that will be a top 4 defenseman for years to come."
I love Hemsky's contract and overall skill level... but am not a big fan of his overall game. (It's hard for me to like players who eat up twenty minutes of ice but only really contribute a handful of real quality plays per game) IMO, Due to glaring inconsistancies, a lack of leadership, and a generally one dimensional game: Hemsky should be considered a great complimentary player only; and is not a guy to build your team around.
Hemsky has the uncanny ability to amass impressive point totals depite turning in many brutal performances (like getting the second assist on Grebeshkov's slap shot in Chicago)... ~Why he's almnost a point per game player... so he MUST be good, right?~ Wrong. "Thinking the game on a whole different level" is a nice way of saying he doesn't think the game well enough to lead the Oiler offence.
It would also be nice if he worked a little harder.
I said: "so he MUST be good, right?~ Wrong"
Sorry. Hemmer IS good. I ment to say he isn't truly great... at least not yet... or for periods of time longer than three or four games...
October 17 2009, 12:59PM
Another reason not to trade hemmer is i just got a hemmer retro jersey this year and if we traded him there goes $300 down the tubes....
He is a great player and I dont think he should be traded.
That being said if the Oil can pick up a first round pick from a bad team and a solid power forward then I would have to think harder than I am comfortable thinking.
I would be willing to talk Dustin Brown straight up from LA or Simmons and a first rounder. I dont think LA will keep up there pace and the pick should end up in the top 12.
BTW: Nine points in seven games. Whoohoo Oil! Let's prorate that for a 105 point season with Penner scoring 59 goals and over a 100 points. ~I don't see how anyone can stop them now!~
I would suggest the city start adding a little valium to the water supply along with all the other stuff they add.
The great supprise of the season will be any major trades before deadline week, unless some team owner(s) gets their loans called.
Many people say Hemsky is our "best player". I wonder...
Hemsky is probably our most skilled player; but does that automatically make him our best? Bob Stauffer (and others) have often suggested that Nilsson may be the second most skilled Oiler. So does that mean that Nilsson is our second best player?
Trading Hemsky should not be done, his production/ cap hit is just what any team needs. The problem seems to be building a team around him. He doesn't really make linemates better and apparently he's not the easiest to play with (see revolving LW1 door). The Oilers need to build a team with Hemsky as another weapon, not the center piece.

Well said, but I'd say they've got 2.9 years to do it, once this contract expires he'll be a 7 million/year player (or 5.5 on a 12 year deal)
October 17 2009, 01:37PM
Not gonna happen, 99% of people saying he is trade bait were saying hell no on July 1st. The people who think Hemsky straight up for Kovalchuk too are out of their minds. Unless Kovalchuk puts his name on a long term contract I dont deal our best player for a 1 year rental.
Doesnt Hemsky lead all our FW's in blocked shots? 5 pts in 6 games while adding that aspect to his game and people dont like it? bah. He does need a 1 touch scorer with him, Im thinking more along the lines of Cogliano or Gilbert for Frolov if hes willing to commit to us. Although my pipe dream would be Simon Gagne, even at the end of the year. But right now I would do Gagner for Gagne if we had the $. Gagner + Nilsson perhaps.
Just checked the Team Pool Scores. Good to see I'm still powering towards the bottom.

On Saturday, the Millsite Men's Association and the Emery County Recreation teamed up to host a golf tournament at Millsite Golf Course. More than 60 golfers participated in the 18 hole event.
Miss Emery Karrie Johansen also used the tournament to raise funds for the Children's Miracle Network. Johansen and the contestants for Miss Emery 2008 welcomed the contestants and served them dinner as they finished the round.
Winners were announced during the lunch. The format for the event was a four person scramble and each player could take one mulligan during the 18 holes.
Winning first place with a score of 58 was the team of Shannon Hiatt, Jayson Hiatt, Jim Jones and Chandler Pearson. Second place went to the team of Jeff Winget, Tony Pinedo, Jordan Pinedo, and Ryan Pinedo with a score of 59. With a score of 60, the team of Jerry Mangus, Kevin Burrell, Gus Mangus and Tim Dison came in third.
Dave Sebring of Ace Auto and Trailer Sales, and Huntsman Motors, both of Huntington put up a trailer and a truck and trailer as prizes which could be won for a hole in one on #5 or #7 hole.
Some of the golfers came close, but no one went home with a new trailer.
CJ McManus won a new driver and Tracy Pederson had the winning number to take home the new putter. The driver was donated by Sebring and the putter was donated by the Millsite Men's Association.
