History tells us that a centre, D-man or goalie can have a bigger impact on winning than a winger. It's not to say you don't need solid wingers to win, but a dominant centre will usually have more of an impact than a dominant winger.
Last night I chatted with a scout who's been around the NHL for over 20 years and asked him about the centre/winger debate and if the Oilers should/could take Nail Yakupov's teammate Alex Galchenyuk instead.
"I'm a firm believer in taking the best player available. Yakupov is a hell of a talent, but Galchenyuk is just as good in my eyes. If he hadn't been hurt I honestly believe it would be a huge debate. The fact Alex plays centre makes the debate even better, because centres have a bigger impact on the game.
"Alex is a dynamic centre. He skates exceptionally well, he's got great hands and he's committed to playing a strong two-way game. He's 6'2" and 205 pounds, so he'll be a load to handle for NHL defenceman."
Would his injury scare you? Should that be a concern, I asked.
"It is hard to say with certainty, but I was very impressed that he was able to return from his injury (ACL tear) for this year's playoffs. He has a reputation of being a gym rat and has an excellent work ethic. You can't teach that, and for him to work that hard during rehab really impressed me."
I've always wanted to do research on the accuracy of how an injury impacts a player long-term; especially if a player gets hurt when he is 17 or 18. We've seen it go both ways. Some players are always getting hurt, but guys who are injury-prone seem to suffer from various different injuries, rather than always hurting the same joint, tendon or ligament.
Marian Hossa suffered a serious knee injury in the Memorial Cup final v. Guelph in 1998. He was out for six months, before he made his debut with the Senators in December. Since that injury, he never played fewer than 70 games in a season until 2009/2010.
There is a long list of players who are constantly injured, but I wouldn't shy away from Galchenyuk just because of one injury.
Many scouts feel Yakupov was the best player this year, but with every scout I've talked to in the past month, they all said, "If Galchenyuk had played he'd be in the conversation."
I've said before I'd take Yakupov because he's considered the best player, but the more I hear about Galchenyuk the more intrigued I am about him; mostly because he plays centre.
The Oilers desperately need another skilled centre, especially one with size. A few scouts have said Galchenyuk's game is similar to Jonathan Toews, in that he plays hard/smart in both ends of the ice. I don't like comparisons, because usually we are comparing a player to the "best-case scenario."
I find it interesting, and disappointing, that we compare these kids to great players, but recently many have said they are leery of drafting Russians because of the KHL and the actions of Radulov, Filatov, Zherdev and others. They bring up the worst-case scenario for what a Russian player might become rather than pointing to Datsyuk, Malkin, Ovechkin, Zubov or other elite Russians.
Galchenyuk was born in Wisconsin, but he spent time in Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Russia because his father was a pro hockey player. Their family moved back to the States when Alex was 15 and he considers himself American. He played for Team USA at the Ivan Hlinka U-18 in 2011.
The more I hear about Galchenyuk the more I wonder if he'd be the right player for the Oilers.
It is possible that Yakupov will put up more points, but would Galchenyuk be a better fit?
"Great question. The Oilers need size down the middle," the scout told me last night. "Yakupov and Eberle would be a great 1-2 punch on the right side for years, but I think now more than ever you need strength down the middle to win. I don't think Stu (MacGregor) can go wrong with either pick, but I bet they will look long and hard at a centreman."
Two years ago when the Taylor v. Tyler debate was on, everyone had Hall listed as the best player, and the Oilers wisely took him. Two years later though, the Oilers have Hall and Eberle as dominant wingers, and I wonder if there is a slight temptation to look at Galchenyuk because he's a centre.
It is clear that Yakupov is the best player, based on play this year, but Galchenyuk's injury didn't allow him to compete for that title.
Every scout I've ever spoken with has told me that they try to draft the player they feel will be the best in three to five years. Galchenyuk's injury makes that assessment much harder, and when you factor in the Oilers need for a big, skilled centre I wonder how the Oilers feel he grades out five years from now?
I know Wanye and many of you will be saying "May the Fourth be with you today," so that was for all you Star Wars nerds.
- Danny Briere became only the 5th active NHLer to score 50 career playoff goals. The other four are Jagr (77) Lidstrom (54) Marleau (52) and Zetterberg (51). I think Marleau is the biggest surprise on the list, considering many incorrectly say he never produces in the playoffs.
- Another interesting trivia tidbit...Can you name the only player in NHL history who is top-ten all-time in playoff goals, assists, points, PIMs and +/-?***(answer at bottom)
- All those suggesting Dustin Penner will have to sign for $2-$2.5 million this summer. Keep in mind that Joel Ward had regular seasons of 17, 13 and 10 goals before potting seven in the playoffs last year. That earned him $9 million over three years. If Penner continues to play well he will get at least $3 million on the open market and maybe even $4 million/year for two or three years.
- I wonder if Peter Laviolette is regretting his post-series pot-shot at Sidney Crosby, when he referred to Claude Giroux as the best player in the world. Since that comment Giroux has one goal and is -3 in three games. Giroux is great, but he isn't the best in the game.
- I can't believe some media, bloggers and fans are looking at ways to change playoff OT. What is wrong with you? Because the game lasts too long, or some whiny eastern folks can't stay up late? Give me a break. It is great TV watching players gut it out for two, three or more OT periods.
- The Oilers/Oil Kings haven't done a great job advertising the Oil Kings playoff push. I haven't seen/read/heard much advertising, and when the cheapest tickets is $31.50 it is hard for a family of four to pay that much for junior hockey. Why did they only have a two-hour window yesterday of $15/tickets? Why not make it all day long?
- That being said the Oil Kings are one hell of a team. They will beat Portland. Mark Pysyk and Keegan Lowe did an incredible job of shutting down Ty Rattie and Sven Bartschi last night. Those two were invisible for most of the game, and their best chances came when they didn't have to face the Lowe/Pysyk pairing.
*** Glenn Anderson is the only player in the top-ten in all five categories. He was 4th in pts, 5th in goals, 9th in assists, 7th in PIMs and 5th in +/-.**

Always take the BPA with the fist pick. Hello Yakupov.
May 04 2012, 11:21AM
can we take Alyonka with the first pick overall instead?
in russia the hockey players may be head cases (see: radulov, kovalev, semin) but they sure do know what their doing when it comes to hot women (see: alyonka, maria sharapova, anika kournikova)
May 04 2012, 11:25AM
Edmonton could get both....if they were motivated enough to do something. They choose not to. The Fire and Brimstone types (Burke and Holmgren) believe in their ideals, while Edmonton dreams about such commitment.
The seats are full for the foreseeable future, why bother to work harder. If the fans are happy watching this ship......then why change the menu?
If this were the first year the Oil had a shot at the #1 overall I'd say BPA as well. However, it is the Oil's third kick at the cat so I would take a hard look at a big skilled centre if he has the other key qualities you would want longterm.
Galchenyuk does sound like someone Stewie will be looking at carefully.
You have to take Yakupov.
In saying that, wouldn't this have been the perfect year for the Oilers to draft 2nd where they would have filled a bigger need? But you should always take BPA.
May 04 2012, 11:30AM
"Another interesting trivia tidbit...Can you name the only player in NHL history who is top-ten all-time in playoff goals, assists, points, PIMs and +/-??"
Is it Messier?
I think it is Mr. Clutch Glenn Anderson.
First it was Yakupov or Grigorenko, then it was Yakupov or Murray, now Yakupov or Galchenyuk, and I am now seeing other reports that Yakupov and Grigorenko are closer than people think.
Who is the common name in the discussion? Yakupov. Pick him.
Any draft pick that will get Alyonka Larionov to visit Edmonton on a regular basis is good enough for me . . . Just saying.
The answer to the trivia question............Jarri Kurri?
On the article JG is closing in (IMHO) on the gems that will be available in the draft. Galchenyuk and Reilly are strong candidates for the " hidden gem " category!
We need to find a way to draft this centre.
Trade the pick to Boston along with a prospect/pick for Seguin.
By the way Nail described Galchenyuk as being more skilled than himself.........I will take his word on this for sure!
"Ain't seen the light since we started this band M.C.A. - get on the mic my man Born and bred Brooklyn - U.S.A. They call me Adam Yauch - but I'm M.C.A. Like a lemon to a lime - a lime to a lemon I sip the def ale with all the fly women Got limos, arena, TV shows Autograph pictures and classy hoes Step off homes - get out of my way Taxing little girlies from here to L.A. Waking up before I get to sleep Cause I'll be rocking this party eight days a week
No sleep till brooklyn .... No sleep till brooklyn ... No sleep till brooklyn ... No sleep till brooklyn... No sleep till brooklyn..."
May 04 2012, 11:55AM
If the Oilers want Galchenyuk and CBJ wants Yakupov, I'd throw that organization a bone and let them pick 1st. Maybe they take something off our hands in terms of a prospect contract and they throw us a late round pick.
It is after all positive Friday.
May 04 2012, 11:56AM
One has to ask the question. If Taylor Hall, playing in a mans game, hasn't been able to change his game in an effort to preserve ones self in two yrs. How long does Edmonton wait before having to cut bait on this kid. I know this seems absurd but Taylor is only one significant injury away from being damaged goods with deminshed value. His left shoulder went last season, what happens if his right shoulder goes this year? Taylor needs to keep his head up and be the hammer, not the nail.
May 04 2012, 11:56AM
Also who does the blonde come with?
May 04 2012, 11:58AM
Bang on with your assessment of OT. It's only the Eastern media that really get their panties in a knot. They seem to forget that they have a pretty cushy job, so what if you have to work a little OT to watch OT. Happens every year.
Gordie Howe.

What Omark, Barker and a 2nd doesn't get it done
I could agree with trading our pick if that 2nd option was Galchenyuk. Alex and Rielly's injury were the same and no one at this point seems worried about Morgan. Galchenyuk took longer on the recovery but also happened earlier then Morgan.
It should also be noted that Alex Galchenyuk has followed the Oilers closely and likes following "Oil Change" these past couple seasons. While all players would say they like to come to Edmonton and be #1 Overall, Alex was tweeting about this at the beginning of the Oilers season.
Also for what it means Galchenyuk while off recovering from his injury was very kind to several of his fans and would respond to tweets from several, including myself. It's nice to see a player get into the everyday life of their followers.
Just some food for thought.
@Ogden Brother Jr. - Team Strudwick for coach
Better throw in Peckham and a fifth. No sense going half way on this.
May 04 2012, 12:39PM
Paajarvi,Hemsky,Gagner,Kelfbom,Marincin,Plante,Pitlick,Hartikainen,Lander,Omark,Peckham,Smid,Dubnyk, the 32nd pick in 2012 or first in 2013..... all are worthless? Edmonton has a bumper crop of support players up for grabs. You don't have to score with just one swing of the bat. Getting to second and having someone else bring you home (2 deals to get you to where you'd need to be) also brings you home across the plate.
We probaly couldn't move all of them but how about maybe a third of that group.Guess we can't do anything about the deadwood types in Horcoff and Whitney.
Developement shmelopement, if the Oilers could develope half of these guys we wouldn't be in the hole we are now, correct? How can they honestly say these kids will fair any better than the kids of 5 to 8 yrs ago?
Edmonton management is alot like watching a gentleman seated on the toilet. You see him there, reading his paper... but you're not sure if he's really doing anything else during this process.
I'm glad someone finally mentioned Galchenyuk. My biggest concern about him (other than his acl) was that his high point total might be as a result of playing on the same line as Yakupov.
After reading this great interview with Dan Stewart of Future Considerations over at copper & blue this apparently is not the case.
According to Dan, Galchenyuk is the total package. Elite vision, skates well, size, etc. And as for playing with Yakupov, Dan firmly believes that Galchyuk's point total comes from his own high end skill rather than just who he plays with.
If the Oil trade the first pick, this is the guy we need to take. Its like you said, Yakupov is the best player at the current time, but 3-5 years down the road...

@ Quicksilver Ballet
I hope you drown in your self-loathing one day. Then I won't have to read your super depressing, pessimistic bullcrap in the comment section anymore. You are the exact type of fan every athlete hates. If it is such a hard time for you to "cheer" for the Oil, go give your "support" to another franchise.
When I read articles like this one, I wonder if trading down wouldn't be a good idea after all. I'm glad I don't have to make these decisions.
A big 2nd line centre would be a great asset.
I feel very similar to the Galchenyuk/Nail debate s the Taylor/Tyler one. Seguin might have had a higher ceiling than Hall (might), but after winning back to back memorial cup MVPs Hall showed that he was the sure thing. Hall was bust-proof.
This Year Galchenyuk looks like he might be as good or better than Nail, but Nail is a known commodity. I'm reminded of what Slats told Barry Fraser before the 1994 draft- "This organization cannot afford a blown pick. It's alright if it's not a home run, but don't miss."
I don't know who will be better, but I know which one is a higher percentage shot, I can live with passing on Malkin to take Ovie, but I can't live with Bonsignore. (This analogy only works if you consider Malkin better than Ovechkin)
Just don't miss.
May 04 2012, 12:59PM
The first overall pick three yrs in a row is beyond questioning?
If the Oilers awlays do everything right, as you suggest, how'd we get into this sad position then?
Katzkidsjewfron, is that a kids band from Eastglen?
I think the 'NHL needs to change OT" garbage is just link-bait.
Draft Nail Yakupov he's the BPA just like Taylor Hall and RNH. Put Hall on centre and trade Gagner for that D-man we're looking for. That's my opinion on this whole situation.
May 04 2012, 01:16PM
So what exactly makes you think that the answer is to go out and acquire another top 5 pick?
This is exactly why the Oilers should have drafted Seguin, not Hall.
They were close enough on draft day and Hall's propensity for injury was obvious enough that the Oilers should have started the rebuild down the middle FIRST.
Running Seguin and RNH as your centres with Yakupov, Eberle and Hemsky manning the wings would have been lethal.
Too bad Lowe always builds unbalanced teams.
Draft Nail Yakupov he's the BPA just like Taylor Hall and RNH. Put Hall on centre and trade Gagner for that D-man we're looking for. That's my opinion on this whole situation.
Problem is Hall doesn't play centre very well and Gagner certainly won't get you a top pairing defenseman never mind the two the Oilers actually need.
Interesting dilemma. I wrote off the idea of drafting Murray 1st overall. Drafting a centrer #1 is intriguing tho. In a salary cap world, you have to make choices on your roster. If you can afford to keep 4 star forwards, it's much easier to mix and match if you have two centres amongs those 4. Then you go out and find nice complementary wingers to play with those 4 guys, like Dan Cleary playing with Datsyuk or Zetterberg.
Look at the LA Kings. Yeah, they're the 8th seed, but they have all of the fundamentals for winning. 3 deep at centre - Kopitar, Richards, Stoll, Dustin Brown is playing like an elite power forward, surprise contributions from an unlikely source (Penner), a stud Dman in Doughty and hot goaltending. Cup winners always seem to have each of these elements.
The Oilers need to look at what they have and figure out how they're gonna get the rest.
May 04 2012, 01:34PM
@ jonny94
This is a very reasonable plan, and perhaps what ends up unfolding in the next year.
Short of dealing the pick and Gagner for say, Derek Stepan and Marc Staal, or Marcus Johansson and Jon Carlson, moving Hall to C solves a ton of problems.
May 04 2012, 02:33PM
drop down to second overall draft ryan murray then trade NYI gagner, paajarvi and 1st next year our 2nd pick this year for the 4th pick and take Galchenyuk. Problem solved!
Galchynyuk is intriguing, but with him missing pretty much the whole year and the fact Yak outscored him by 18 pts in their 16 yr old season tells me there is no way you can pick him before Yak.
My sense is whoever drafts Galchnyuk will be a potential trade partner for the Oil in the next few years.
If the pick can't be dealt for Seguin or Larsson, then I would be happy to get Murray or Galchenyuk and another young roster asset.
May 04 2012, 02:51PM
Please stop giving us information which might cause us to not be completely certain as to who we are going to pick. Information and ideas just befuddle the decision making process.
I had already gotten past the idea of drafting a d-man with the first overall pick. Weber was drafted 49th overall, Lidstrom 53rd, Keith 54th, Chara 56th, Niedermayer 3rd, Pronger 2nd, MacInnis 15th, Blake 70th, Leech 9th, Chelios 40th, Bourque 8th, Langway 36th. These Norris trophy candidates/winners are enough to convince me that you can find extreme value in defencemen later on in the draft.
So we draft Yakupov right? My mind is made up for good. What? Galchenyuk?
Now you have me thinking it wouldn't be the end of the world to trade down, take the center, and get a little somethin somethin extra for our troubles.
Damn your confounded sensicalosityness, Gregor! *shakes fist*
May 04 2012, 04:08PM
Couldn't agree more. Oilers have lots of prospects, less players, but players nonetheless to offer up to CBJ or MTL.
If CBJ doesn't want to trade and MTL does, throw a pick at CBJ to stay away from Galyenchuk.
I would piss my pants if the Oil got 1-2 and got Yakupov and Galyenchuk.
I would pick Galchenyuk.
I like Yakupov and his drive. And if the Oilers take him I won't shed a tear of regret. However, I did some reading up on Galchenyuk a few months ago, to try and see where he might fit in on draft day. His scouting report reads like a laundry list of what the Oilers could use.
Here are two reasons I think he'd be a great fit:
1. He is known for his vision, creativity and strong work ethic, and his best seasons were playing with a speedy, strong winger noted for his fiery competitive nature.
2. While sitting out he fell no further than 19th overall in the scouting lists and as soon as he returned was climbing back into the top five and as high as 2nd or 3rd overall.
I don't like drafting for need, but the Oilers have a Yakupov. They don't have a Galchenyuk.
They could select him, send him back to junior for another season, and then work on other areas of the roster to improve in this upcoming season.
Picking Yakupov means likely having to trade him for other pieces sometime in the next five to eight years.
Picking Galchenyuk means that the center position is locked up for the next decade and the Oilers can then develop 2nd line wingers (a far easier task than 1st line talent or centers).
1. Yakupov/Galchenyuk 2. Grigorenko 3. Rielly/Murray
In Stu We Trust.
Alyonka you dirty girl you
if i played hockey i'd have a chance with that little fiesty monster mash
I don't care if it is politically incorrect: attitude problems seem to be more prevalent in Russian scorers. It has been this way for years.
Obviously you can't paint all russian scorers with the same brush, he may be the greatest kid you'll ever meet. But add in his diminutive size, his natural position, and the KHL factor and I say there is too much risk for an extremely valuable pick.
If the Oilers can leverage this pick for one of the other kids in the draft plus another valuable asset, they should do it.
Yakupov is the prize for winning the draft lottery, lets not bung up what the Gods gave us or they will give us many years more of hockey pergatory. We won the right to take NAIL, lets take the consensus first overall pick. I did not watch Khabby blow chunks for the final 3 months of the season to take another player. If you want Galchenyuk or Murray or Grigs then trade down, and pick up another asset.
Id like to see an article on what the Oilers could recieve as compensation for a trade rather then the plethera of article coming outta the woodworks saying the Oilers should take this guy over Yakupov. A month ago the consensus was 9/10 scouts picked Yakupov and compared him to Bure. I think trading down to second is at least a 3rd round pick. I think theres a gap this year.
May 04 2012, 04:56PM
There's no more assessing going on with regards to these players, why do the assessments seem to change over time during the course of the spring/summer leading up to draft day?
With the first overall pick in the 2012 Entry Draft, from the Sarnia Sting, the Edmonton Oilers are proud to select........... Gal... whoops, Yakupov.
May 04 2012, 05:08PM
Sorry Gregor, you are wrong Portland Dominated the second half of the game. The hawks will win tonight. St. Croix was hardly even dangerous.
I said this a couple a weeks ago,, Hemsky, and Gagner, to Colbumbus for their 2 nd pick in 2012. Oilers would get 1 and 2 picks this year. Or maybe Hemsky some other components. Yakapov can replace Hemsky.. If you trade Gagner, have find another 2nd center unless you draft Galechhenyuk.
Hey Katskidjewfro, wish the 'props' button was working cause the idea of Quicksilver taking a hike is not only a good one, it's long overdue. Of all his postings, there may, MAY have been one, that was worth reading. (Possibly more, I guess, because I've not read any of his horsesh*t for months, but I doubt it.) Otherwise? Rubbish. Total frickin and frackin rubbish.
I have been suggesting Galchenyuk for weeks now and I still believe he might be a better fit down the road. Trading down remains an option. 2nd line centre with skill and size, and is an American plus a possible extra pick in the second round...hmm... something to think about. They took the winger in 2010 and 2012 will be the center.
Plus Alex Galchenyuk wears 94 and that's Smyth's number, the jersey won't be in moth balls for long. ;-)

Breakfast in 5 Minutes
19 quick and tasty options for the most important meal of the day
Most of us are quick to preach the merits of a balanced breakfast to our children — even if the only thing we put in our own mouths before 8 a.m. is a minty blob of toothpaste. "No time!" "Not hungry." "I'm trying to lose weight." Whatever your excuse for racing out the door sans breakfast, we've heard it before. Let's review the basics. Fixing breakfast takes five minutes or less (which even on a busy morning isn't much time) — and it comes with a bonus: preventing you from putting on unwanted pounds.
It's true: Research shows that breakfast eaters are leaner than breakfast skippers, because morning refueling can rev up your metabolism and keep you from overdoing the midday munchies. What's more, women who nosh before noon may also eat less fat during the rest of the day. (Other benefits include mood-boosting and memory-sharpening.)
To get your body back into the breakfast routine, hold off on late-night snacks, so you wake up feeling hungry. If you still can't stomach food first thing in the morning, brown-bag it for later. Your meal's calorie count should range from 350 or less (if you're trying to lose weight) to 450 (if you're just trying to maintain). Don't worry about doing the math — we've figured out 19 easy choices for you. Each one is about 350 calories, and none takes longer than five minutes to prepare.

Type: New Feature
Status: Closed
Priority: Minor
Resolution: Won't Fix
Affects Version/s: 1.9.10
Fix Version/s: None
Environment:Moodle 1.9.x
Affected Branches:MOODLE_19_STABLE
This (relatively small) patch to Moodle core (to: lib/weblib.php) enable
SysAdmin to add folders of extra functionality plugins to the HTMLAREA internal editor
without the need to change (patch) any of the lib/editor/htmlarea/htmlarea.php code
for each plugin (toolbar icon) that they wish to add.
(Actually, very similar to the way we can extend Moodle anywhere else...)
Plus, it enables the SysAdmin to control which plugins are visible (system wide)
using a "setting" configuration form. (from the system menu block)
Plugins, included with this patch
- AskBloom - Help teachers setup a more sophisticated instruction to students as defined by BLOOM
- Resize editor - Extend the size of the editor when it is very small
- AudioRecorder - Records Audio comments and embed this into the text (+Flash player)
- Marker - mark text
- InserSWF - Insert Flash movies into the text
- InserEmbed - Insert EMBED element anywhere in the text (no need to switch/know html)
- Dropbox - support Public sharing of dropbox files
- FileManager - Support for embeding Block FileManager files inside the text
- IconGallery - Embed Icons (free sets) (update: from the Moodledata/1/icongalleries folder)
- CellWith - Change the width of a table's column
- DrawSVG - Vector Graphics editing tool + Insert SVG drawing into the textarea
- Paint - Pixlr.com editor + Insert image into the textarea
- RemoveNOLINK - remove nolink TAG
- PageBackground - load an image as background to the entire textarea
- InsertImage - Drag and Drop image(s) to upload them into the textarea (any user)
- LineHeight - Set Line Height of current paragraph
- TableSupport (Disabled) - Table rows and cells configuration
- Insert PDF - Embed a PDF viewer into the webpage
- DragAndDropImage - Opens a popup window, into which a user (students) can Drag and Drop Images from their Desktop
- TinyMCE editor - Enables editing of the current content within a TinyMCE editor using a popup window.
- DragMath - wrapper for the DragMath Math equation editor plugin + plugin code DragMath 0.7.9 released 10/10/2010 (uses java)(see readme file for install instructions)
- WIRIS Formula and CAS - wrapper for the WIRIS Math equation editor plugin + plugin code 2.3 beta (uses java) (see readme file for install instructions)
- VideoRecorder - The video recording applet allows to record video in mp4 format ( H.264 video and AAC audio) and embed it into the text (Inspired by Kevin Brake @ eLearningShow.com)
- HTMLPurify - Clean the text using HTMLPurifier library
Demo Video : Custom Plugins
The Framework
Each plugin folder must include an "opendialog.js.php" file with a function (by the name of the plugin folder)
which is called upon clicking the toolbar icon. and an "icon.png" file.
if the plugin requires an extra dialog, a "dialog.php" file can be included. (see included samples)
if the plugin requires language files, an extra "lang" folder with the relevant lang folders can be included.
A base folder for the plugins must be created by the name "lib/editor/htmlarea/custom_plugins"
its name is "nbdialog.js" and it must be placed inside "lib/editor/htmlarea/custom_plugins".
Together with this patch i am attaching several plugins that were made for this framework.
( I will be opening a new issue for each plugin, to track changes in each. and link them back to this issue )
Attached is a clean lib/weblib.php file (Moodle version 1.9.10) + the patch applied to it ( for convenience )
Attached is the patch file which can be applied to all 1.9.x versions
Attached is a SysAdmin global setting form "htmlarea_plugins.php" which must be placed inside "admin/settings" folder.
( You, SysAdmin, will have to select any/all the plugins that you wish made available to your users, system wide, before any of them will be visible on the 3rd toolbar strip, in each Editor on your system )
1. Apply the patch.
2. Unzip custom_plugins.zip into "lib/editor/htmlarea/custom_plugins"
3. Copy "htmlarea_plugins.php" to "admin/settings"
4. As SysAdmin, start a browser and open "http://youmoodle/admin/settings.php?section=htmlareasettings"
select the plugins you wish to enable and save the settings.
5. Open the HTMLAREA Editor (and checkout your new plugins!)
I would love to get feedback on this patch and any of the attached plugins.

Hi Nadav!
1. There is a problem with the file draw .. svg
Ifyou select it the editor does not appear,
in the list of plugins there is one more drawsvg
So maybe you simply delete it from the folder?
2. The paint does not work. Error message:
The file does not exist
custom_plugins / paint / dialog.php
Hello Irith
1. You should run some tests on your servers to see that all was installed correctly.
Turn on DEBUGGUB or use FIREBUG to see what is missing.
If some of the icons do not appear, it seems like a file permission issue.
Maybe a browser issue?
2. The Paint and the TableSupport plugins are currently disabled (as i mentioned, above)
Hello Nadav
I deleted the /custom_plugins from the server and uploaded it again, I enabled the debug
and i got this error:
Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$parent in /var/www/html/moodle/lib/weblib.php on line 2558
This is the line: i don"t see any connection???
if ($THEME->parent && (!isset($THEME->parentmetainclude) || $THEME->parentmetainclude)) {
if (file_exists($CFG->dirroot.'/theme/'.$THEME->parent.'/meta.php'))
i gave all the folder in the htmlarea 7777 prrmission
it didn"t help
I have followed all the steps - my problem is with step 4
4. As SysAdmin, start a browser and open "http://youmoodle/admin/settings.php?section=htmlareasettings"
This leads me to a site with no way to select plugins.
Any idea?
Herve, you should change "yourmoodle" with the domain name of your moodle website.
Updated version (lot's of fixes)
+ Insert PDF (new)
+ Paint (new/updated)
Updated version.
+ Several fixes on various plugins
+ NEW TinyMCE plugin
This looks VERY promising. I just realized, though, that it is for 1.9. What differences are there in 2.0? What is prospect of doing this with 2.0?
Nadav - I've created the component in the tracker. I was surprised you did not know about this since you have so many things in CONTRIB. Let's setup a convenient time when we can discuss how to make use of them and also to work toward migrating all of your code from CVS to Git. In addition to having the code on Git, I want to make some suggestions for maintaining this patch. Peace - Anthony
Anthony - Thanks! when iMoot is over, we'll find some time for this.
btw, i already have most (if not all) of my CVS contrib on my github.com account.
I wonder if i can keep using that or should i use your (Moodle HQ) git ?
(not sure how this works, now, after you moved CVS to git)
NEW plugins: DragMath and WIRIS CAS / Formula support.
Several fixes to various plugins, for IE support. relaxed permissions. minor usability fixes.
Nadav, hi, when we installed the patch/plug-ins, the AudioRecorder we got only allows up to 20 seconds recording. At the iMoot you mentioned recordings of up to 1 minute. Any idea what we might do to get ours up to 1 minute? Thanks!
I am a joker me bad.
I left a time limit while i was playing with the recording. oups.
please open:
and change the line:
<param name="maxRecordTime" value="20.0">
<param name="maxRecordTime" value="60.0">
Little Help, pls, after applying the patch to weblib.php and copying Custom_plugins and htmlarea_plugins.php file - the HTMLArea Editor does not displayed at all at our Moodle site (ver. 1.9.10) - tryied also with weblib.php file attached here .. the result is the same - NO Editor at all - what can be a problem?
Some of the plugins require more "installation" procedures then just copying them into there folders.
Like the : WIRIS and DropBox. and you will have to open their README files for more instructions.
Until you do that...
Please disable them, from the admin menu
http:// your-moodle-url /admin/settings.php?section=htmlareasettings
and see if it helps
Thanx for quick response!
Actually, I did read README file ..
But, Yes, automaticly I enabled all plugings in admin menu .. will try to disable them first .
PS. It Worked ..thank You!
Michael I am glad to read it turned out OK.
Some other people got into the same issue.
And i am considering removing those plugins from the main package
and making a separate link for them + a bold notice about installing them later.
Hope, until then, people read these corespondents and disable those plugins, upon first install.
News update:
I have started converting those plugins to Moodle 2.x
Currently, Record Video and Record Audio are converted.
And i am a little stuck with the right way to go about
implementing the dynamic plugin enabling and disabling procedure,
since it is not natively supported in TinyMCE.
I saw a patch for that, on the forums and i wonder if Moodle HQ
will implement it in the near future? or should i patch it too?
Hi Nadav!
Love your work. You have increased the pedagogical value of Moodle right from the Editor itself. For me the most useful plugins that you have added to the editor icons are:
1. Drag and Drop image adder (a must-have for any Moodle site! Previously only the admin or teacher could add images to the editor. Students could only insert images by giving the URL)
2. Embed PDF
3. VideoRecorder (FANTASTIC. Thanks for Kevin Brake (and Vimas Technology)!)
4. Insert Flash
5. Expand Editor area
6. Insert Embed code of Web 2.0 sites (Youtube is missing since they won't allow you to do so)
7. DragMath (provided Tex is installed on the server!)
8. Paint
9. SVG designer
10.Dropbox (would be great if I had root access to my VPS!)
The "Insert Flash" icon should be "Insert image" instead (how do I correct this?)
How do I use the File Manager? It's a mystety to me. I only see part of my Moodle page and nothing else!??
Youtube doesn't allow it's site to tbe embedded right?
Frankie Kam
Melaka, Malaysia
P,S., I hope to feature your work in my blog - in detail for others to enjoy and to allow teachers with minimal IT skills to install on their own servers. If I have the time!
Hi Frankie
Thank you for your feedback!
1. There is a special plugin called Insert Flash with a different icon from the one Insert Images has.
It is especially made to embed a flash file into the text with a flash player (not just a link to a flash file)
The icon in inside the insertswf folder and it is called icon.png (you can always change it)
2. For the File Manager to work, you need to install the FileManager block. ( I recommend it! )
BTW, just updated the entire plugins package with major IE fixes. so you might like to download it again and overwrite everything you have already installed
Hi Nadav
Where can I get the File Manager block from?
I'm using Moodle 1.9.15.
Hi Nadav
I've spent 40mins trying to download the file manager. Either the link is broken, account is suspended or the tar file is corrupted. Could you email to me a working zip file of the block? Sorry for the trouble.
Frankie Kam
Hey nadav
Since youtube website don't allow their site to be iframed - see here:
And That's why the YouTube link won't display anything in the "insetembed" plugin - so I would make it click-able and popup YouTube to another tab ( but it will be in the previous window. how cat I make it a pop up in the same "choose-a-video" window?
And since Google video is not existed anymore, I would recommend to to this in choose-a-video.php file:

- Google Video

+ YouTube Video

 Mind Meister - Mind Maps - מפות חשיבה

Hi Miki
Excellent idea. I updated the code with your suggestions.
The zip file included in the Moodle plugins database is missing all the files (http://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?id=9). It doesn't have 'custom_plugins.zip' as mentioned in the instructions.
I have split off the real plugins from the patch to the core of the /lib/weblib.php which enables the extending of the HTMLAREA toolbars to two files.
Here is a link to all the files :
Thank you for pointing my attention to this,
I will try to make it more clear in the README
Hey, Nadav.
I have a problem with drawSvg. It sends to html-editor escaped html characters.
Here is video. http://www.screencast.com/t/vPmvT7ZvAUVB
I haven't found any similar problems in bug tracker. Can you help me?
Hi Nikita
It seems, that the JavaScript that is responsible for viewing SVG xml tags is not loaded or filtered out by your Moodle.
( this is the missing script: lib/editor/htmlarea/custom_plugins/drawsvg/lib/svgweb/src/svg.js )
I guess, you should enable EMBED and OBJECT on your Moodle system
Or even read the README: /lib/editor/htmlarea/custom_plugins/drawsvg/readme
for more options (if the first suggestion does not work)
Major update!!! to all plugins - IE7,IE8,IE9 support
Please download the relevant plugins from:
Nadav, thanks for your answer.
Everything works fine when i copy svg code from drawSvg and insert into sourse in html editor. But when i'm trying to insert it via drawSvg i'm getting something like this in my source:
Any ideas?
Nikita, I think you should make some changes in the core htmalarea.php file
as explained in the readme file ( /lib/editor/htmlarea/custom_plugins/drawsvg/readme )
These changes will prevent HTMLAREA from messing with the SVG code
Here is the readme:
This plugin is a little bit challenging...
1. you'll have to remove TAG cleanup from the HTMLAREA.php file
// performs HTML encoding of some given string
HTMLArea.htmlEncode = function(str) {
return str; // disable this function for drawsvg plugin to work
// we don't need regexp for that, but.. so be it for now.
str = str.replace(/&/ig, "&");
str = str.replace(/</ig, "<");
str = str.replace(/>/ig, ">");
str = str.replace(/\x22/ig, """);
// \x22 means '"' – we use hex reprezentation so that we don't disturb
// JS compressors (well, at least mine fails..
return str;
2. you'll have to patch Moodle not to clean up the text in Modules you wish to use this plugin
change :
echo format_text($post->message, FORMAT_HTML);
echo $post->message;
$options = new stdClass;
echo format_text($post->message, FORMAT_HTML,$options);
set $CFG->enabletrusttext = true;
I replaced my files with files from repository, but still doesn't work in IE series.
And unfortunately, no relevant issues in tracker.
Can you help me?
I am not experienced with IE so i am not sure how can i help. sorry.

Abandoning Antitrust's Chicago Obsession: The Case for Evidence-Based Antitrust
Joshua D. Wright
George Mason University - Antonin Scalia Law School, Faculty
May 3, 2012
Antitrust Law Journal, Vol. 78, No. 1, 2012, pp. 241-271
George Mason Law & Economics Research Paper No. 12-39
The antitrust community retains something of an inconsistent attitude towards evidence-based antitrust. Commentators, judges, and scholars remain supportive of evidence-based antitrust, even vocally so; nevertheless, antitrust scholarship and policy discourse continues to press forward advocating the use of one theory over another as applied in a specific case, or one school over another with respect to the class of models that should inform the structure of antitrust's rules and presumptions, without tethering those questions to an empirical benchmark. This is a fundamental challenge facing modern antitrust institutions, one that I call the "model selection problem." The three goals of this article are to describe the model selection problem, to demonstrate that the intense focus upon so-called schools within the antitrust community has exacerbated the problem, and to offer a modest proposal to help solve the model selection problem. This proposal has two major components: abandonment of terms like "Chicago School," "Neo-Chicago School," and "Post-Chicago School," and replacement of those terms with a commitment to testing economic theories with economic knowledge and empirical data to support those theories with the best predictive power. I call this approach "evidence-based antitrust." I conclude by discussing several promising approaches to embedding an appreciation for empirical testing more deeply within antitrust institutions.

BYOD Is a Win-Win When It's User-Centric: Study
Taking a User-Centric Approach to BYOD
For the report "BYOD: Putting Users First Produces Biggest Gains, Fewest Setbacks," nearly 1,500 IT heads in 10 countries were interviewed. Researchers found that companies that treated BYOD as a strategic advantage, rather than as a headache, "were able to resolve some of the biggest BYOD problems, including security, access rights and data leakage."
The bring-your-own-device (BYOD) phenomenon shows once again how those who try to resist technological change as it gains momentum end up getting overwhelmed. Those who recognize the irresistible power of this phenomenon use it to their advantage to help themselves and the organization they work for to become success stories in their field. Dell subsidiary Quest Software recently hired research firm Vanson Bourne to conduct a study on how organizations worldwide are responding to the BYOD trend—and even more specifically, if they're focusing on managing devices or user identities—and whether their approach has slowed down their business or advanced it. Spoiler alert: The report says that Dell uses BYOD as a "catalyst for continuous improvement in IT" and that companies with a similar user-centric approach "were able to reap the greatest and most immediate rewards while experiencing the fewest setbacks." Here, eWEEK has collected some of the report's most compelling findings.

STANFORD, Calif. - Stanford's up and down season hit a high note at the right time as the Cardinal routed Denver, 14-9, in the semifinals for the MPSF Tournament. The Cardinal needed a win to keep its season alive and came through with one of its best performances of the year.
"We are really excited to get to play for the MPSF title," said head coach Amy Bokker. "Things came together tonight against a tough opponent and we are looking forward to Sunday and getting to play at home."
The Cardinal played inspired lacrosse for 60 minutes, getting contributions from just about everyone that saw the field. Third-seeded Stanford pulled off the minor upset over the second-seeded Pioneers and avenged its loss from the regular season.
"Denver is a really physical team," said Bokker. "I thought we handled it a lot better than last time we played them. We really had a lot of players step up tonight."
Stanford started fast, building a 4-1 lead in the opening 15:19 of the game. Emilie Boeri had a pair of goals, while Hannah Farr and Kyle Fraser added to the Stanford lead.
Denver responded to make it 4-3 with a pair of goals, but then Stanford went on a game-changing run to end the half. Beginning with 4:19 on the clock, Stanford scored six-straight goals to end the half and build a 10-3 lead at the break.
Meredith Kalinowski started things with her first goal, before Fraser scored twice and Farr scored again. The goals made it six in a row for the Cardinal freshmen that are blossoming into a formidable group. Boeri and Anna Kim scored in the final minute to complete Stanford's run and make things fairly comfortable at the break.
The Cardinal slowed things down in the second half, trading goals with Denver, but never letting the game get too close. Catherine Swanson got on the board and Kalinowski scored twice more to complete her hat trick.
Fraser also had a hat trick, while Boeri had four goals to push her team-leading total to 38. Twin sister Anna Boeri led the Cardinal with three assists, while Carolyn Bradley and Emilie Boeri also had helpers.
Lyndsey Munoz was again sensational in net, making six saves. Farr led the Cardinal with four draw controls, but Swanson had three to extend her team lead to 48. The senior needs just four more to tie the single-season draw control record of 52 set by Leslie Foard last year.
The Cardinal will now face Oregon in the MPSF Championship game on Sunday at 1pm back at Cagan Stadium. The Ducks went a perfect 7-0 in conference, including a 13-7 win over the Cardinal. Oregon moved on to the title game with a 14-11 win over California on Friday afternoon.

If you have ever watched Inside The Actor's Studio, you probably know that members of the audience are allowed to ask questions of the actors on stage
. Back in 1999, when Bradley Cooper attended, he got to ask Sean Penn a question.
My eyes started glazing over halfway through Sean's speech….but Bradley remained very engaged, it appeared. Now that's what I call ACTING!! 🙂ReplyCancel
Am I being cynical our was this video already posted by enty before?ReplyCancel
Christ on a cracker, that was on Gawker weeks ago.ReplyCancel
Bradley really resembled a boy-bander back then. I can't say anything though because I did too. Late 90's, folks.
Not ashamed. Not ashamed.
Okay..perhaps a little.ReplyCancel
Haha, Dontrain, exactly. I cannot believe people think Penn is attractive. A, he's fugly. B, he's super pleased with himself. C, for no discernible reason.
Inside the Actors Studio is such an odd program. The host is so fawning and it's interesting to see who takes that seriously, bless their hearts, and who does not.
Maybe it's me cbut I totally got the vibe cooper was hitting on penn… Did you see the way cooper kept his hand around his throat and all that leaning towards him… Sure some may say attentive but I'm willing to bet penn is bi and so is cooper. Perhaps cooper thought he could get into acting that way! Any ideas on when this video was done and if cooper got his break shortly after?ReplyCancel
I have to say that having watched Actor's Studio for many years you can see Cooper already stands out- some things you are just born with and then you put in the hard work and you've made it.
He probably hustled to make sure he was in the front row in the first place.ReplyCancel
What is sad about the program is they have run out of famous Actor Studio alumni and now some of the guests really do not deserve to be on the program, bit embarrassing to ask someone who makes only fluffy movies these deep questions and yes the fawning is always annoying but you get great stories, gems, insight into the filmmaking process, out of most of the guests that that make it worth it most of the time. Would prefer a more detached approach to questioning.ReplyCancel
First actors studio i ever saw years ago was Shelly Winters. You think these people are flaky, but when it came to her craft, she was brilliant. In that arena, she really knew what she was doing and then some. Very impressive. I never forget she said she never got the big house or fancy car because then you taking jobs to pay for that lifestyle which had nothing to do with acting. Smart, eh!ReplyCancel
@lotta, inside the actors studio showed this throwback clip in march 2011 so you are probably right. My sister and I randomly watched the Bradley Cooper ep this weekend and he was still with Zellweger and she looked godawful. Not sure why its being picked up now except it played on reruns this wknd which just means no one watches inside the actors studio lol.ReplyCancel
Never realized what a windbag Sean Penn is. I thought he seemed high on something too which might be accredited to his chattiness. Bradley DID seem enamored with Sean.ReplyCancel
@Jason Blue Eyes – As long as it wasn't a rat tail or like this, we'll forgive you. 😉
I don't know if it was a rerun, but I just watched Hugh Jackman's episode this past week. He is so damn charming. They spent too much time talking about AnnE.ReplyCancel
No Lelaina – nothing like that. 😉 But I did try to dye my hair lighter in 1998. Instead of blonde though my hair came out almost orange. However it was around Halloween time so at least it matched all the pumpkins and fallen leaves.ReplyCancel
@JasonBE – Orange, ooh, yikes! I can't make fun of you too much b/c I've had my own home hair color disasters and also tried just about every 90's hair trend there was. And had the "Rachel."ReplyCancel
I think both of them looked good.ReplyCancel
I remember watching this when it first aired and thinking that Cooper had enough drive and the looks to make it to Hollywood. Now, I can see that he was clearly mugging for the camera. Oh, and that Sean Penn was stoned out of his mind.ReplyCancel

The band, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, totally stole the night away from Kings of Leon. Other people on Twitter agree that Kings of Leon were disappointing tonight. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs had a gorgeous set with a lot of beautiful red colored lighting. Their stage presence and energy was much better than Kings of Leon who seemed boring and yesterday. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs seemed to be filled with energy and excitement as they jumped around the stage. Many people were seen walking away from the Kings of Leon stage and towards the show being performed by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Additionally, when even the older folk sitting with their camping gear under the big oak tree on the grassy null facing the Livestrong stage decided it was time to get up and move cross park, well that about sums up the performance by Kings of Leon. They were not impressive and much overrated and had nothing to offer the crowd except for a light show that couldn't be beat by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
I'm not saying that Kings of Leon aren't worth seeing, however tonight they didn't perform. Their music is better heard from an Internet radio station such as 977music.com which doesn't have any admission or membership fees.
The weather today held out great and we didn't have to break out our ponchos. It was warm with a slight breeze. The lines for the bathroom were long and the actual facilities were horrendous. If there is one thing that ACL needs to do, they need to take care of the bathrooms especially for the ladies. The food and drink lines weren't too bad considering the amount of people eating. The prices on both were very reasonable. Unfortunately I ate at Hoffbrau steaks and didn't enjoy the steak sandwich I ordered. It was literally a cheap piece of meat on a bun with no condiments provided. It was overpriced for what it was. However, overall the food at ACL seemed good. Tomorrow I will sample more of the food being sold such as pizza, skewers, gyros, wraps, smoothies, kettle corn, and tacos.

Looks good, but poor quality
"I love the way this bag looks. It goes with practically every outfit I wear. However, based on my experience, I cannot recommend it to anyone. I've only had it for 2 months and one of the straps has already ripped off. I didn't keep much in it either, just my phone, wallet, keys, and some pens. Other reviewers seem to love this bag, so maybe I just got a faulty one. Disappointing. I'm giving it 2 stars because I did enjoy wearing it for the 2 months it was intact."

Nice little everyday purse
"I bought this a few months ago to use as an everyday purse. I'm not the kind of person who carries a ton of stuff, so it's the perfect size for my needs. It's big enough to accommodate a wallet, smartphone, small travel case, checkbook, lip balm, and a small tube of lotion, though you kind of have to Tetris them into place. While it definitely won't fool anyone into thinking it's real leather, it still looks nice. I've only found a few negatives about this purse. The magnet clasp makes a visible lump on the flap and may eventually wear through; also, the holes for the shoulder strap are not reinforced and may tear with frequent use. The light brown rubbery substance applied to seal all the seams peeled off from the moment I started carrying this purse. Nevertheless, it is an attractive small handbag for a reasonable price."

Headshots are a Canucksarmy feature where we link to the days freshest news, the funniest gifs, the most jaw-dropping photos, the coolest videos and other assorted Canucks web-goodies. If you've written a blogpost and would like it to be featured in our Headshots posts please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Passittobulis is hosting a contest and giving away three free copies of the Canucks Preview magazine from Maple Street Press to the winner. Go check out the contest, but just in case you don't win - you may as well pre-order it to be safe! The Preview Magazine features work from four! Canucksarmy writers (Greer, Charron, Davie and myself) and was editted by Harrison Mooney. It's going to be seriously awesome.
Also from Passittobulis here's links to all four parts of the "every goal Daniel Sedin scored" series: Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV. There are some real beauties in this mix. This is it for PiTB's every goal scored series - but it was a welcome addition to my lunch hour over the course of the summer, and I know must have taken forever to compile. So kudos to Wagner and Mooney for their work.
Fantasy Hockey expert Jeff Angus lists Mikael Samuelsson as one of his top-5 "comeback" players in a post on rldhockey.com. Jeff expects Samuelsson to slot in for Christian Ehrhoff and spend a fair bit of time manning the point on PP1.
GIF BREAK: Bieksa tries to sucker Landsberg into pulling his finger while shoulder shaking... Yep. (Via @bieksler).
Corey Pronman of hockeyprospectus profiles the top-10 Canucks prospects. Looks pretty barren once you get past Rodin, Jensen and Hodgson (and based on what I've heard about Rodin's injury - I'm way less high on him than Pronman).
HeadtotheNet asks if we're ready for what Hodgson can bring to the table. I say yes - bring it on AV, lets see what this kid can do in the top 6!
Via Nucksmisconduct - a live-blog from Lighthouse Hockey describing a 42 save performance by Roberto Luongo against the Boston Bruins way back in 1999.
August 26 2011, 09:50AM
With feelings running as high as they were at the time, I think that a text apology was appropriate, especially since the Bruins were milking every incident that occured to paint the Canucks in as negative a light as possible. At worst, the Rome hit on Horton was mis-timed rather than malicious. For me there is an element of "I'm telling mummy!" in Horton's whine. Get over it.

Dunoon Jolomo Boat Cairngorm Shape Mug
One of Scotland's best known and well-loved painters, John Lowrie Morrison, or 'Jolomo' as he is better known uses a palette of deep cobalt blue, with white and fiery orange and red. His signature colours are displayed on this mug from Dunoon, which features a red-hulled boat moored at the edge of a Scottish loch. In the distance rise dramatic mountains, while in the foreground a blaze of red heather grows. This mug will appeal to anyone who loves Scotland, Scottish scenery and enjoys art.
The 'Cairngorm' shape, named after the eponymous Scottish Mountains, is a larger version of the Lomond shape mugs. It has a gentle slope to the body and a curved handle. With a range of fabulous designs to choose from this 'oversized' mug is a must. With a capacity of 480ml they are both dishwasher and microwave safe, with the exception of any mugs with gold embellishment.
John Lowrie Morrison OBE – 'Jolomo' - is one of Scotland's most successful and best loved contemporary artists. For over 50 years he has painted Argyll and the Hebrides, depicting coastal landscapes, crofts, and the wonderful light of the Scottish west coast. Jolomo produces about 100 paintings per month, six days a week, generating a revenue of approximately £2 million a year. He is patronised by celebrities such as Sting, Madonna and Rick Stein, who appreciate his expressionistic style. In 2011 he was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to art and charity in Scotland.

Established in Dunoon, Scotland, over 35 years ago, Dunoon are a market leader in fine bone china and stoneware mugs. Their shapes and designs are as sought-after around the world as they are here in the UK.
They source the majority of their clays from Cornwall, England, as it creates brilliant white and translucent Fine Bone China, as resilient as it is beautiful. Dunoon still use traditional skills and methods to forge their mugs: their craftsmen use a process known as 'slip casting', which uses liquid clay as opposed to machine-made, to achieve a finished mug that is fine to the touch, light to hold and a pleasure to use.
Equally as important as the physical craft of the mug is the aesthetic craft of the design. These are created by a talented 'in-house' design team and a wide portfolio of gifted freelance artists, many of whom have been associated with Dunoon for over 25 years. Further proof, if it was needed, that Dunoon understand the importance of consistency and longevity when it comes to producing top quality products.
The mugs are all finished with high quality glazes, and prints guarantee accurate colour reproduction, ensuring none of the incredible detail or rich shades are lost from the original and intended design.
Throughout every stage of the manufacturing process each one of their products is handled by a skilled craftsman, maintaining Dunoon's reputation of nearly 40 years of excellence in pottery making.
TemptationGifts is proud to be one of Dunoon's oldest and best customers - we have been stocking Dunoon mugs ever since 1983! And it's this unique partnership that has paved the way for Temptation to be named Dunoon's Recommended Online Retailer. You can read more about our partnership by clicking here.

Love love love, but runs short
"I love this flip flops, they are very comfortable and look great. I typically wear a 6 or a 6.5 and I got a 7 in these and they fit great. They might be a bit slim, I have average width and I feel like my feet are on the cusp of being too wide (they do fit fine though).I have to say this is the first flip flop I have ever known that actually stays on my feet securely aka it doesn't make the flip flop sound when I walk."

Shoe doesn't fit
"These shoes were not what I was expecting - very tight and too short. I almost always wear an 8, but would have had to go up in size for this shoe. They were out of size 9, so I ended up exchanging them for a different shoe entirely."

Comfortable, but slippery
"These flip flops are really cute, and the padding in the bottom makes them significantly more comfortable than your average sandal. The big disadvantage, though, is that the bottoms are very slippery. I will have to add a sole gripper so that I don't skid across the carpet."

Connacht coach Eric Elwood has made two personnel and also two positional tweaks to the XV that played Leinster for their meeting with the Dragons.

Yamamoto Pencil Tate
Tate is the Japanese word for "dance," and as it suggests, the Yamamoto Pencil Tate delivers a graceful walk-the-dog action that makes it appear to be "dancing" across the surface. The Yamamoto Pencil Tate is very easy to manipulate, so much so that even novice anglers can make it sashay in place. In the hands of an experienced angler, the Yamamoto Pencil Tate is incredibly lethal and capable of calling bass up from the depths.
Additionally, the Yamamoto Pencil Tate also employs a hard-knocking internal rattle chamber to grab the attention of nearby fish. As a testament to Yamamoto's extreme attention-to-detail, the Yamamoto Pencil Tate is built with a highly visible 3D holographic chamber and a distinct Yamamoto logo imprinted into the eye. Equipped with Mustad Triple Grip Treble Hooks, the Yamamoto Pencil Tate is sure to help you write the next chapter in your fishing saga.

Comments: This is the easiest bait I have ever used for "walking the dog". I have also caught a lot of fish on it. The side to side action when you twitch it on a slack line, drives fish crazy! Buy one, you'll be glad you did.

Comments: definitely get the 3 incher! At 7/16 it casts really dang far. much farther than the heddon puppy, and you know what a huge fan of the spook jr I am. it catches fish, too! Get it!

Comments: I must agree these are not as easy to walk as the heddon spook jr...however, the 3 inch model is one to have tied on at all times...sometimes bass just want a smaller bait to attack, and when they ignore a larger size, I throw the 3inch tate...and it does work. Yeah, you really gotta be gentle with your retrieve to make it walk properly. Same with the 4 incher. This 3 incher fills a size niche that produces for me. Go ahead and get it.

Comments: I was drawn in by the brand and look of this bait. I was very disappointed when i put this bait to work. I have fished walking baits for over 10 years and this one is one of the more difficult ones to walk. Not impossible but definitely not easy to walk like any of the hedddons or strike king sexy dawgs. I will gladly trade someone for a sexy dawg jr if they wanna try one.

Comments: I've never been a top water walk-the-dog fisherman, but I picked up one in the 76 size at my local Dick's S.G. 1st time throwing it, this thing cast awesome, and I felt like an immediate pro at the walk-the-dog presentation! great hardware and finish and would recommend this lure to anybody!
