Edmonton Oilers Re-Sign Darcy Hordichuk
Jonathan Willis
July 01 2012 02:19PM
As per the Oilers' official Twitter feed, Darcy Hordichuk will be back for an encore performance with the team on a one-year deal. TSN reports that he will earn $850,000.
Hordichuk earned rave reviews from many covering the team for his professionalism last season. 630 CHED's Dan Tencer immediately called the signing "fantastic, fantastic news" and praised the player's "positive energy" and called him "phenomenal" in the room.
As far as players in the "designated enforcer" role go, Hordichuk's not so bad. He's a decent skater and a good enough player that he can handle a regular shift on the fourth line when called upon. He generally wasn't asked to do that last season - he played just 43 games and averaged 4:21 of ice-time in those contests.
He's also not a penalty-taking machine. Over the last four seasons, he's actually drawn more penalties than he's taken in three of them (data as per behindthenet.ca). We saw him at his best in the video above, where he goaded Brad Staubitz into taking two stupid double-minors.
There are those who won't be a fan of this signing on general principle. I'm one of them; I personally disagree with the need to ice a Hordichuk-type player in the modern NHL. However, the Oilers have made it clear time and again that they prefer to have a guy like Hordichuk on the roster.
When it comes to players in that role, Hordichuk's pretty much as good as it gets: reportedly good off the ice, a passable enough hockey player, and not the kind of guy who typically takes a ton of stupid penalties. He's certainly an upgrade over a player like Steve MacIntyre, even if he isn't the same calibre of heavyweight as the one-time Oilers' enforcer.
An interesting byproduct of this decision might be that the Oilers opt for 14 forwards once again. Teams need to make a choice between including a 14th forward, an 8th defenseman, or a third goalie on the roster; it seems unlikely that the Oilers would choose to make Hordichuk their 13th forward given how they used him last season. That may matter because with the addition of Justin Schultz (and including RFA defenders Jeff Petry and Theo Peckham) the Oilers have eight defensemen on one-way contracts, and are rumoured to be looking to add another. This makes it more likely that they dump Peckham or Corey Potter, and if they add another defenseman likely both players will be on the outs.

Don't mind having Hordy throwing the FISTS for another year. At least he's willing.
July 01 2012, 02:32PM
After a good 24 hours this?
July 01 2012, 02:43PM
Would rather have Tootoo using that roster spot.
Another role filled just right. Well done Oilers. Continuity counts.
Would a trade for Kieth Yandle make sense now that Ray Whitney is gone in Pheonix. Gagner along with Eager and Potter and a pick for Yandle? Pheonix needs a center.
July 01 2012, 03:12PM
@Dan the Man
According to the article, Hordi is reportedly good off the ice. TooToo,maybe not so much, since the young guys don't need any instruction on how to get loaded.
I like the signing but would still like to see Peckham/Potter exchanged for a real NHL Dman that can also protect the small skill.
July 01 2012, 03:15PM
Hordi signing= Non-event....Asham is a better player, better hands and better fighter...waste of money IMO.
Meh... If this means that Harti or Paajarvi are going to have to play another year in the AHL, then what was the point? There is only so many roster spots on a team and to use one on a guy that averages about 4.5 minutes a game? Really Tambi?
Meh, I don't think he will be taking a ton of ice time away from anyone.
I LOVED that game in Minnesota, one of the best wins of the year.
Hudler would not come cheap. With Zetterberg aging. Would hudler be expendable if Detroit thought that Parise would sign with them?
I am stunned that the Bobby Ryan/Rick Nash saga continues to play out.
Anything on the Belanger and Eager trade front? One player turned out to be a square peg and the other turned out to be a dud. Would you buy either out?
July 01 2012, 03:27PM
Would a trade for Kieth Yandle make sense now that Ray Whitney is gone in Pheonix. Gagner along with Eager and Potter and a pick for Yandle? Pheonix needs a center.
Maybe I had my oilers color glasses on but that's a overpay on edmontons part.
Guess its no biggie. Id not include the pick there but it would be nice to have yandle. Then again if we're trading ganger because they need a center the whose going to be our 2c? Hall or someone brought in?
Ummm did anyone see what Minnesota did today? You will be happy to have Hordi in the lineup when we play the wild.
July 01 2012, 03:37PM
@Reg Dunlop
...treatment was successful.....but for how long
Is it me or is Burke content to do nothing? If he asked Marty to come to the Leafs what would be the price? 10 million for 2 years? Or more? Vancouver? Lou to Florida for ??? Picks is mu guess. I wouldn't give them JH or anyone elso on thier roster. Nucks are in a no win position contrary to Gillis's assertions.
What happens if the NHL has to own New Jersey and Pheonix?
Way to glorify Hordichuk based on ONE decent game against the Wild.
Ummm did anyone see what Minnesota did today? You will be happy to have Hordi in the lineup when we play the wild.
Yeah. ~Because staged fights can really affect the outcome of a game.~
If I were our young guys I'd be more than happy to have a pylon like SMac out there on my shift. Easy money.
By my calculations he played 188 minutes last season and was paid a bit over $4,500 for each. Hmm. This appears to rule out Tootoo, who would be a superior option. He can play and hits everything that moves. Hordy is a great guy and JT is a nasty SOB. I'd rather have a beer with Hordy but have the Tootoo train forcing the opposition to keep their heads up. We will be pushed around again this season I fear. RK is going to have to ride herd on the players who have to be leaned on to play physical. Like Jonesy. And Eager. Partially because of Cap management and partially because they have screwed up so many times, the brain trust is reluctant to splash on FAs. We already have too many forwards and D men so I would be surprised if we add anyone else. So it is last year's team plus Yakupov and Schultz, with the kids a year older. Is that enough to make the playoffs in the age of parity? Maybe. Probably not. Unless RK can get a bit more out of them and the defence stays relatively healthy. Still not big enough, still short of defensive depth, still without a genuine second goalie. They will be better for sure. The holes are smaller, but they still remain.
hey Mr.willis,I thought tambo and co started out great with getting schultz,resigning smyth and denis but once again we are stuck with the reality that nothing big will happen,I know we probably are better off with the trade route,but as a die hard oil fan just once I would love to see tambo rock the boat,anything you think he could do to really make us better,because one more lottery pick and I am giving up!!
@Jonathan Willis
Understand you slipped that in there but overall the blog was a very positive one on Hordichuk; which was confusing as apparently you don't like the signing.
The game vs Minnesota was Hordichuk playing the pest role. However, that was the only memorable game for Hordichuk last year.
He's a lousy fighter, no hockey sense and doesn't contribute in any other capacity except showing some courage against a few grunts in the league.
If we signed him just for his locker room presence is this a normality across the league. Signing players to be an addition to the coaching staff?
Oilers tend to hold onto players who bring no significants on the ice but are said to have a good locker room presence. Just like they held onto Jason Strudwick for much too long.
Tootoo signs in Detroit. So much for the Oil getting tougher to play. A very dull day. Life was a lot more fun when Espo and Milbury were around for the smart GMs to exploit.
Parise to Chicago? Are they getting ready to move Kane?
Whitney's comments say alot about the Yotes and how the uncertainty is affecting its former and current players. I really think Bettman needs to resolve this situation in the next 2 weeks.
Quebec City should be slavering at the thought of the Yote's legal issues with Goldwater. I love Goldwater. Canada's best friend Goldwater. I would make a donation to them if QC gets the Yotes.
I think the point Jonathan was trying to make, is while he doesn't agree with the need for a fourth line scrapper, Hordichuk isn't the worse choice for that role, since the oilers seem to think they need one.
July 01 2012, 06:04PM
Oh no.
Now we'll never win the bidding war for "Big Georges".
Jason Garrison to Van City for 6 x 4.6. Thank you for your continued afirmation of how ridiculous you are in Vancouver. Souray at 3.6 to Anaheim? What were they thinking? Probably what alot of teams think on July one that dmen are not easy to find.
The price points on some of the veterans today seems outlandish. Vancouver is on the precipice of mediocrity. Its not thier d that has been an issue its been thier 2cd and 3rd line contributions.
@Dan the Man
According to the article, Hordi is reportedly good off the ice. TooToo,maybe not so much, since the young guys don't need any instruction on how to get loaded.
I like the signing but would still like to see Peckham/Potter exchanged for a real NHL Dman that can also protect the small skill.
Tootoo is always willing and ready to back his team mates as well as agitate. Hordichuk actually was willing to drop them and back up his team.
We already have Khabiboozin showing the kids how to drink and drive lol. I think there still might be a need for a super heavyweight but Hordichuk will do. From all accounts everyone in the room.loves the guy.
Oh no.
Now we'll never win the bidding war for "Big Georges".
This team has had a very unfortunate run of having our players be on the recieving end of dirty hits. Everything from Torres trying to take off Eberles head to Hemsky being blasted shoulder first into the boards by Handzus which put him on the shelf for a year.
When Big George was here the other teams big guys played honest. When we have big teams like LA or San Jose come in they tend to run all over the place. BG all his years was Ryan Smyths board play partner. You don't think that any of the kids like Eberle or Nuge might not benefit from having a huge 6'3 270 pound monster play keep away with you at practice? I thinkthere still could be use for him here. Hordichuk is a smaller heavyweight but I think BG would be a good option too.
Jon, didn't Krueger during his five games behind the bench, insert Hordichuk and play him a few more minutes a game than Renney was? I'm just going off memory, but, I recall both Hordichuk and Eager getting a big push from the interm coach. I think Krueger used this move to increase the whole teams resistance to intimidation and there level of aggression. This move also changed how these two players were handled by Tom when he returned resulting in better play throughout the remainder of the season.
Could this signing be more Ralph Krueger than Tambollini? If this is a Krueger signing, than how much influence did he have in signing Petrell? Can Hordichuk and pals expect to have a more pronounced role under the new coach?
I'm looking forward to watching how Ralph runs the bottom six. Make no mistake this has been an Oiler weekness since Rem and George left in 06'. Poor coaching and terrible managment was the contributing factor. If he can give this group of forwards the time and system to showcase there type of hockey the oilers will field a much tougher team to play against.
Tootoo is always willing and ready to back his team mates as well as agitate. Hordichuk actually was willing to drop them and back up his team.

"From all accounts everyone in the room.loves the guy."
Unless you're a member of the team, how would you know this?
Dan Tencer said so?
Don't doubt he is good in the locker room, just hate when people say it like they know. Nobody knows except for the people who are in that room.
46 contracts. The Oilers have some room to move. Chorney signs with St Louis . Dallas is going nowwhere with the moves they are making.Anaheim? That 2cd round pick next year might be pretty good.
Can't see them moving Peckham maybe Potter. If two dmen needs to be moved, IMO, I would move Sutton because of his age. Peckham is all heart and soul, he would fight anyone to protect his teammates at any cost. Worst case scenario for him would be to move him to a forward position.
July 01 2012, 10:56PM
The oilers have done everything right so far i believe... (patience is a virtue)
-Draft Nail -Hire Kruger -Sign Shultz -Re-up Smyth and keep Danis for Roy's development -Keep guys that are proud of the organization now and where its going and want to be here.
Next on the list (IMO)...
-Take flyers on Doan, Mueller and Gragnani -Take a flyer on asking price for Streit and Yandle are -Dump some Contracts (Peckham, Belanger, Jones,etc) {Not that i dont like these guys because i actually like them and see a fit but i also see possible upgrades on what i listed above}
July 01 2012, 11:08PM
I strongly believe Mueller has some game and size and would possibly be an upgrade on gagner if he stays healthy... I say take a flyer. Do a physical to make sure (like latendresse did with ottawa) start him on the wing on the third line and keep belanger and work him into the middle some way and see him grow from there and maybe gagner becomes expendable and use mueller there (big right hand center with skill)
projection: Hall Mueller Hemsky Yakupov RNH Eberle Smyth Horcoff Paajarvi Eager Belanger Jones
looks good to me
IMO, signing Hordy is a good deal and a cheap one as well. Kassian, Konopka, Tootoo all signed elsewhere and very fast into the free agency period.
Hordy did well last year with what Renney allowed him to do minimally. Four and a half minutes a game is not playing, its just an appearance. Krueger will use him more smartly IMO.
Now.... for those who are wanting more....it is obvious the Oilers have to dump players,and not add and add.
I am in agreement with the team management position that trades are the next wave of actions, not free agency. we have to now get some very good to elite players (one goaltender, one defenceman) with by trading two to three players.
With what the Oilers did this summer so far(draft/Yakupov,, Justin Schultz, Smyth, Danis, Hordichuk)its been a super great start for next season.
Thanks Oilers....from one long time fan.
everyone thinks the oilers missed the boat when a player signs somewhere else,but the players may want to play closer to home and family,eg.tootoo
I think it's interesting everyone has been clamoring for Steve Ott (who is singed now anyway), but many people see this signing as a bad one. Hordichuck hits, hits clean, draws penalties, is good in the locker room, and is a decent fighter willing to go up against much tougher opponents, and comes cheap, plus he's not a defensive liability or takes unnecessary penalties. I wouldn't even call this guy an enforcer, I call him a utility player, and would like to see him getting more minutes. Every time the Oil score a goal on a penalty he draws, that's as good as scoring one himself. We are a great powerplay team so having a guy that gets us on the powerplay is just fantastic. I hope he's used more this year cause every time he's on the ice, something exciting usually happens.

Awesome Christmas experience!
Awesome Christmas experience!
I love Outdoor Christmas Lights!!
Today is the day, going to the 3:00 show....have a wonderful weekend everyone
Okay, I must be out of the loop, which is not unusual. My friend and I went to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert on Friday, and quite frankly, I was terribly disappointed...the show was a little wierd...I knew that it would be different, but I must admit, I didn't enjoy it at all...I liked the lights and lasers, but one man was telling a story throughout the show (one I didn't follow) and the songs didn't go with the story. I only recognized one of the songs they played...we ended up leaving before it was over...the place was packed, though. Also, there were people who I thought acted a little inappropriate for what was considered a Christmas concert...they were acting like it was a regular rock band...the tickets were expensive, and in my opinion, a waste of money. Sorry. I guess there was just something about the whole thing I didn't get...
Well that's cool, if everyone all liked the same thing imagine what kind of world we would have
I'm not crazy about their non Christmas music, but as a musician myself I understand what they are doing & how the stories relate to the songs. I played with groups that opened for Nazareth & Cheap Trick back in the day...a lot of good memories to say the least.
Thankfully every TSO show we have been to we had no problem with fans getting too wild, esp with kids around. It's for the most part a very family oriented show, but yet it's still METAL so you have to go figure Can't wait till next year !
I've got tickets for the 3rd year in a row. They're amazing musicians!
I have tickets to their show in Hamilton in November. It will be the first time ever seeing them and I've heard nothing but incredible things about them. I'm pretty excited for it!

Truly! Some folks on twitter were expressing despair that they didn't have enough time to watch the films or write the posts they wanted to by Sunday, so what the heck, let's take another week! As one of them said, "After all, we're celebrating three different people!" And if there is one emotion we hope Khannas do not inspire, it's despair. Unless, like me, you are sad that you will never, ever meet a man with the tweenting sensibilities of Rahul, but I'm over that now.
Anyway, enjoy another week of posts. I probably can't manage one every day through May 16, but the Khannas will certainly continue to be my focus until then. And here's an interesting read: an interview* called "The Uncensored Vinod Khanna" in the Times of India in 2002. Imagining him in a VW Beetle is very amusing, no? I'm somehow picturing that scene in the "22 Short Films about Springfield" episode of The Simpsons in which Nelson teases the very tall man for driving such a small car - or, more evocatively, Rock Hudson** getting stuck in the drunk college boy's teeny car in Pillow Talk, seen at about 3:50.
* I have had this interview bookmarked for a few months and just now noticed it was written by a friend who taught me how to cross a busy Delhi street with the strategy "Say a prayer and just go!"
** Stop thinking about Vinod Khanna and Rock Hudson starring in a movie together! Just stop it!

up until now i have been responding to all of my 8 mos olds cues: feeding on demand, picking up when she wanted, & meeting all her bordom cues. However i'm finding now she expects everything now. my mom tells me that i'm creating a dependant child who will want everything on her schedual. i have tried to tell my lo "hold on mommy's coming" when she wants up & i can grab her right away because my hands are dirty, however she tends to escalate very quickly until she's coughing from crying so hard. She throws temper tyantrums when i take her away from things she can't play with. to which i simply tell her "no touch, not abby's. play with this instead". now when she's mad she'll ppull hair and pinch skin. to this i say "ouch that hurts mommy, please don't do that". how do you guys deal with these types of behaviours??

around this age, babies often go through separation and stranger anxiety. they're separating who they are from who you are, and this can cause a lot of emotion. continuing to respond to her in the ways you've described is the best way to ensure her that she's okay and you're there for her.
if she is "expecting everything now", then you have done your job. you have shown her that you meet her needs. she is only 8 mos, she will gradually learn a little patience, but she is completely developmentally appropriate. it's hard, but you will have to learn to ignore the "dependent" comments. you are her mother and you are her expert on what she needs. that is not for others to decide.Last edited by PaxMamma; 12-09-2008, 04:39 PM.

okay, i edited my post to reflect your change. w/out it, other readers would be thrown off
perhaps she is also very tired when the biggest episodes occur? or hungry?
i often find my little angel responds much more poorly when she is hungry or tired or feeling ignored for too long.
what i do sounds a lot like what you are doing...
i try to explain to my dd's what they are doing - ie: putting words to their feelings, and giving them information. For example:
if i have to take a toy - i first find an alternative, something she may not have seen before (like a lotion bottle, or soda can is often helpful), and give it to her if I can. if what she has is too dangerous to wait for me to find an alternative, i do take the item first, then redirect.
I respond appropriately to the item - a dangerous item gets a "oh, my sweet baby, that could give you an owie. Let's put that up here so it doesn't hurt you. ... aaww oh, i'm sorry you're disappointed (true sounds of sympathy). What else can we find to play with? (happy, anticipatory, playful tone). smiling i lead or carry her to something i feel she might be interested in, and keep playing for a bit to get her involved in something (lesson for dd: there are always other interesting things to find to do)
if she is highly resistant or pitches a fit it usually indicates that she is tired, hungry or has not really engaged in an activity. so i mentally seek the most plausible underlying cause, and head that direction...
"oh, sweetie, you are soooo tired. let's sit down and have a snack (our codeword for nursing) so you can rest."
"oh, you poor hungry thing, we have not had breakfast/lunch/etc yet. would you like some (fill in the blank)?"
sounds like you are on the right track with her.
hmm, removing the offending hands from your body or hair would be the only thing I would suggest, then guiding them to a more appropriate and interest-engaging activity after your explanation?

If demeanor is worth anything, the Blackhawks seemed relaxed and ready heading into Game 7 against the Detroit Red Wings.
The Hawks participated in their morning skate Wednesday at the United Center, where players and coaches reported no problems with the ice surface one day after the Rolling Stones' first of three concerts at the building.
Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said he liked what he saw from his players, who erased a 3-1 series deficit against the Wings to force the 11th Game 7 in franchise history.
"Just watching our group out here today and yesterday, I think we haven't changed at all over the last four or five days here," Quenneville said. "I think it's been consistent.
"We're excited. I think we're looking forward to it. You've got to commend them on their approach."
As for which players might shine in Game 7, Quenneville said, members of both teams' third and fourth lines could make the difference.
"Sometimes, it's the guys that maybe fly under the radar," Quenneville said. "When you get a little less freedom – top guys get a lot of scrutiny and a lot of tight coverage – sometimes those guys seem to come through and break through.
"But every game is different. Scoring is going to be hard to come by, and there's not many scoring chances in games, but usually you get the unexpected guys that jump up."

A Cleveland woman was sentenced on Dec. 16 for the embezzlement of approximately $21,000 in funds from the Castle Valley Special Service District. She was charged originally with one count of misuse of public money which is a second degree felony. She pled guilty to a class A misdemeanor in November. This money was taken over a three year period between 2000 and 2003. The charges could carry a maximum of one year in the county jail and a fine of up to $2,500 plus restitution.
In the proceedings, Judge Bruce K. Halliday sentenced the woman to 18 months of probation and 10 days of jail time which can be served in increments and not consecutively with 20 days of home confinement to start immediately. She will also need to write a letter of apology. The judge also waived the fine in the case which could have been $2,500. She will be able to go to work and then report to jail to serve her jail time. The situation will be monitored by the adult probation and parole. The woman paid the restitution on the amount she embezzled at the time she entered the plea in November.
Insurance Fraud
A former Emery County resident and former school teacher is being charged with insurance fraud which is a second degree felony, theft by deception which is a second degree felony, communications fraud which is a second degree felony and forgery which is a third degree felony. Between the years 1999-2003 the defendant had $10,000 in insurance premiums paid in his behalf and over $50,000 in benefits paid in claims on his behalf. The defendant allegedly falsified a birth certificate listing his birthdate as 10 years later than it was in order to qualify for benefits which should have ended at age 65. The communications fraud was a result of communications between the defendant and the school district regarding his age. This defendant made his first appearance on Oct. 21 and he has waived a preliminary hearing and entered a not guilty plea and the case was continued to Dec. 16 where a trial setting occurred. This case has been set for trial on April 21-22, 2004. The second degree felony charges could carry a 1-15 maximum sentence in the state prison and restitution. The third degree felony carries a 0-5 sentence and a $5,000 fine plus restitution.
Social Security Fraud
Another case currently being worked on by Brent Langston, deputy county attorney, is the case where a woman was caring for her elderly mother. The mother passed away and she had two social security numbers in her name. A death certificate was filed on the social security number that wasn't receiving benefits and the daughter continued to receive benefits using the other social security number. This went on for over a year and the social security administration called the woman and asked her to bring her mother in; the woman said her mother was in Colorado and she couldn't bring her in, but she sent in the mother's drivers license. The social security administration obtained a copy of the death certificate and went to visit the woman. The woman said the lady that died had been her aunt. This woman also had a prior situation where she continued to collect money for a deceased daughter. New theft charges have been filed and the woman has pled not guilty and a disposition is scheduled for Feb. 18, 2004 at 9 a.m. in this matter.

Ship Weight:0.70 Deep Steep Glossy Smoothing Shampoo - 10 oz. (295ml) Deep Steep Glossy Smoothing Shampoo instantly tames frizz and fly-aways to reveal natural softness and shine. Deep Steep Glossy Smoothing Shampoo creates a luxurious lather that cleanses hair cuticles while extracts of pomegranate and corn silk safeguard hair from humidity and frizz. Deep Steep Glossy Smoothing Shampoo is formulated with the highest standards of purity and performance. Deep Steep Glossy Smoothing Shampoo Features: No Parabens No Sodium Lauryl Sulfate No Mineral Oil No Artificial Fragrances No Chemical Preservatives Gluten Free Not Tested on Animals Vegan Frequently Asked Questions I've read that Deep Steep products are FREE of Chemical Preservative. What are Chemical Preservatives? In cosmetics manufacturing, "preservatives" are used to combat the growth of bacteria and mold. Bacteria and mold will grow in any product that contains water: lotions, liquid soaps, body washes, cleansers, etc. So in essence, just about any product you put on your body has the chance of growing bacteria and mold unless it is "preserved." Unfortunately, chemical preservatives (hundreds of them) are used frequently in personal care products because they are easy to obtain, cost very little, and, until recently, no one questioned their prolific use. Synthetic preservatives are considered by leading dermatological associations to be the number one cause of contact dermatitis (a localized rash or irritation of the skin caused by contact with a foreign substance). Additionally, several commonly used chemical preservatives have been scientifically linked to breast cancer and other adverse conditions of the skin and body. For your reference, they've compiled a list of the most commonly used synthetic preservatives to look out for: Parabens (Methyl, Butyl, Propyl, Ethyl) Iodopropnyl butylcarbamate Methylisothiazolinine (MIT) Benzyl Alcohol Phenoxyethanol Diazolidinyl Urea Are synthetic chemical preservatives necessary? No! Over 25 years of research Deep Steep's chemists have developed the technology to create a 100% NATURAL preservative system that omits all synthetic ingredients. Using this system, ALL of their products pass standardized microbial challenge tests for killing bacteria and mold, honor all FDA standards, and are guaranteed a healthy 2-year shelf life (but they hope you get a chance to pamper yourself sooner than two years!) Deep Steep Products Deep Steep All- Natural personal care products are manufactured to the highest standards of quality, unique in their ability to smell and feel just like popular luxury products, only without the use of harmful chemical ingredients. All products are guaranteed FREE of chemical preservatives, parabens, artificial fragrances, petroleum, mineral oil, sodium lauryl sulfate, and other questionable ingredients. Clean. Pure. Natural.

After all, few things feels better than Deep Steep washing away a long day. Their 100% Natural Preservative System: So what is their secret? Like a good sauce, that recipe is proprietary, but they don't hide anything. All of their ingredients are listed on each product according to FDA registered INCI names, and it is the unique and exact combination of those ingredients that create an uninviting environment for nasty little microorganisms to grow. Using this system, ALL of their products pass standardized 3rd party microbial challenge tests, exceed all FDA regulations, and are guaranteed a healthy 3 year shelf life (but they hope you get a chance to pamper yourself sooner than that!)

Oriented Policing Services
U.S. Department of Justice
For Immediate Release Wednesday, July 18, 2001
WASHINGTON, D.C. - School-based officers from six police departments that receive funding from the US Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) were honored today in Miami during the annual conference of the National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO). More than 1000 School Resource Officers (SRO) recognized the accomplishments and bravery of six of their peers. SROs are sworn police who utilize community policing to make schools safer.
Among the honorees was officer Michael Webb of the Springfield Township Police Department in Ohio. Officer Webb received a NASRO award for bravery displayed during a shooting and hostage incident at the school he protects. During the incident, officer Webb ignored his personal safety by exchanging himself for the school's principal after a 14 year-old student discharged a firearm during class and subsequently held several of the school's staff members hostage. The gunmen had been arrested and counseled by officer Webb on previous occasions, and requested his presence during the standoff. Due to the relationship that Webb developed with this student, he was able to prevent a bad situation from becoming worse.
Officer Webb and the five others that were honored during the event are employed by police departments that receive funding from the COPS In Schools program, which is administered by the federal COPS Office. Since the inception of the program in 1998, the COPS Office has provided $420 million to fund and train more than 3800 officers.
"We are proud of the accomplishments of these officers," said Ralph Justus, the Acting Director of COPS. "Their bravery and the positive impact that they've had on the lives of students is one of many indicators that our COPS In School program works to protect students and teachers in communities across the country".

Craiglist pot ad trial gets under way in Nevada County
February 21, 2013
Prosecutor Jim Phillips kept it short and sweet during his opening statements as the trial of a Grass Valley man on pot sales charges got under way.
"This case isn't really about marijuana," Phillips told the jurors. "It's about profit."
Ronald Hansen, 54, was arrested in November 2011 after a Nevada County Sheriff's narcotics task force member responded to his Craigslist.org advertisement, set up a buy and met with him in the parking lot of a Grass Valley restaurant.
As his trial began Wednesday morning in Nevada County Superior Court, Phillips told the jury he wanted to break the case down by the numbers.
"One and a half — that's the ounces of marijuana that (the undercover officer) obtained," Phillips said. "Three hundred — that's the amount (Hansen) wanted in exchange."
The third number, 104 pounds, referred to the amount of marijuana still on the stem that was recovered from Hansen's house, which reportedly took three cars to transport.
"The last number — $180,000 — that's the street value" of the seized marijuana, Phillips concluded.
But Hansen's attorney, Stephen Munkelt, attempted to show his client believed he was acting within the scope of the law when he arranged to sell some of his medical marijuana.
Hansen had purchased the foreclosure property in 2010 and intended to renovate the house, Munkelt said, adding that he was living in a motor home on the Ridge Road property.
According to Munkelt, Hansen had a recommendation for medical marijuana use and was a part of a collective run by a grower in Cedar Ridge. He volunteered time to tend the garden and in 2011, agreed to let the grower dry the harvest in his vacant house. Hansen logged approximately 48 hours of work in the garden and received several ounces of marijuana as payment, Munkelt said.
"He believed it was entirely legal to find a marijuana patient and provide them with marijuana for cash," he said. "As if he got paid in Euros and wanted to exchange them for dollars."
Hansen's Craigslist ad clearly stated he was selling Prop. 215 marijuana only to someone with a valid recommendation, Munkelt said.
"Unfortunately for Mr. Hansen, it was Deputy Jeff Martin who responded to his ad," he said, adding that Martin lied when asked if he had a card.
Sheriff's Deputy John Dzioba testified that he was the member of the Narcotics Task Force that conducted the undercover buy on Nov. 9, 2011. After Hansen was cited and released at the scene, deputies went to his house on Ridge Road and requested a search warrant after they smelled marijuana, Dzioba said.
Dzioba testified that he searched the motor home where Hansen was living and found two pistols and a shotgun in the bedroom, as well as nine Mason jars and a plastic jug of marijuana inside a cabinet, totaling about 12 ounces.
Sgt. Guy Selleck testified that he searched the house, which appeared uninhabited.
He said there was about 104 pounds of marijuana on the stem drying on wires in both bedrooms of the house, as well as multiple bins and plastic buckets containing an additional 8 pounds of trimmed marijuana.
The jurors got an unexpected field trip so that the prosecution could display the entire collection of bins and buckets, sealed with evidence tape, that contained the seized marijuana.
They opened several of the containers just outside the courthouse, as curious passersby gawked.
Martin detailed answering Hansen's online ad and then exchanging a series of texts in which he set up the buy.
After a back-and-forth discussion about his expertise, he testified that it was his opinion that Hansen would have netted about half the weight of the marijuana on the stem in saleable cola, for a total of 60 pounds.
Hansen's trial resumes at 9 a.m. today, as Munkelt begins his defense.

Young People Step Up Pressure on World Leaders to Clinch a Crucial Climate Deal in Copenhagen23/
Daejeon/Nairobi, 23 August 2009 - Rallies in 100 cities will be organized by young people across the world as part of a major push to persuade governments to Seal a meaningful Deal at the crucial UN climate convention meeting in Copenhagen in just under 110 days time.Youth delegates pledged to keep global warming high on the international agenda as the Tunza International Youth Conference on Climate Change ended today in Daejeon, Republic of Korea."Climate change is the greatest threat we are facing in the 21st century, and many countries are vulnerable. If we the children and youth don't act now, we cannot be sure there will be a future for us, for future generations. We want to make sure that future generations will inherit a better place to live in," outgoing Tunza Youth Advisory Board member, 22-year old Jessie James Marcellones from the Philippines, said. Regional Action Plans, agreed during the conference and covering Asia and the Pacific, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, North America, and West Asia include:Mobilizing youth for the upcoming UN climate change meeting that opens on 7 December in the Danish capital; Reaching out to other environmental groups, especially during the September 21-25 Climate Week;Educating others about the Copenhagen meeting on campuses, in school and among churches, sports teams and more; Letter-writing, phone banking, visiting officials to 'Seal the Deal'; Social Networking through the Unite for Climate, Facebook, Twitter and other e-fora;College campaigns and tree planting initiatives.The 220 youths, aged 15-24, were joined by 580 children in Daejeon City in South Korea. It has been the largest truly global conference of young people on climate change ever.Seventeen-year-old Yaiguili Alvarado Garcia, from the Kuna indigenous group in Panama, expressed the need for adults to hear and listen and understand why the young need their support. "There are a lot of indigenous cultures that are losing, because nobody wants to hear what we want to say, what we know about Mother Earth, and it is frustrating for us because we have so many things to share and the world doesn't listen to us," she said. "There are many things we asked the governments to do and we know it is hard, but we want to work with them, we just want to make a better place for the children, for the animals and plants. It is about time we stop thinking just for us and think also for other beings that cannot speak for themselves. It is time to stop being selfish."Yaiguili Alvarado Garcia is among the 13 newly elected Tunza Youth Advisory Council members. The Tunza Youth Advisory Council has two Youth Advisors for each of the six regions, and two representing indigenous groups. The Council advises UNEP on better ways of engaging young people in its work and represents youth in international environmental negotiations. "This global Youth and Children gathering under Seal the Deal Campaign is the largest international gathering of young people this year advocating for climate change action. Their voices will and must be heard because they will inherit the outcomes of our actions," said the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon. "The young people of the world are the generation that will inherit the transformational decisions governments need to take in less than 110 days time. If their passion, commitment and ideas can be embraced by world leaders and governments over the coming days and weeks, then a climate agreement that can put the world on track to a low carbon, resource efficient Green Economy can be secured," said Achim Steiner, Under-Secretary General and Executive Director of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP). UNEP organized the conference with the support of the UNEP National Committee for Korea, the Daejeon Metropolitan Government, and Tunza global programme partner, Bayer AG, as well as UNICEF, UNFPA, FAO, WMO, the World Organization of the Scout Movement, the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts and 350.org. Other private sector sponsors include Hyundai-Kia Automotive group and Samsung Engineering. Nickelodeon TV Asia is the media partner for the event.

The word 'Tunza' means 'to treat with care or affection' in Kiswahili. The Tunza initiative aims to develop activities in the areas of environmental awareness and information exchange on the environment for children and youth.

Saracens return to Aviva Premiership action on Sunday with a trip to Adams Park to face the struggling Wasps.
Saracens return to Aviva Premiership action on Sunday with a trip to Adams Park to face the struggling Wasps.
In team news ahead of the Round 14 clash, Alex Goode and Andy Saull both return to the team after international duty and are named in the starting line-up.
With Steve Borthwick and Ernst Joubert ruled out through injury, former Springbok skipper John Smit captain's the side from the front row.
On the bench, both Neil de Kock and Schalk Brits return from injury.
Hooker Brits has recovered from the shoulder injury he sustained on New Year's Day, while scrum-half De Kock gets his first action for three months following a broken arm.
Prop Rhys Gill is also back in the squad after being part of the Wales side that beat Ireland in the Six Nations last weekend and Joel Tomkins is set for a Premiership debut following his cross-code switch from Wigan Warriors in November.
Meanwhile, there are 10 changes to the London Wasps starting line-up this weekend as Dai Young reverts to his strongest possible side.
Wasps are aiming to do the double over the reigning champions having beaten them at Twickenham on the opening day of the season.
Into the team this weekend come a raft of players who were rested or unavailable for LV=Cup action including Riki Flutey, Dom Waldouck, Marco Wentzel and Jonathan Poff.
Having made a full return to fitness, fly-half Nick Robinson starts his first game since New Year's Day.
On the bench capped Welsh youngster Tom Prydie will appear in his first Wasps match-day squad having arrived on loan from the Ospreys last month.
Scrum-half Joe Simpson, who is with England as a non-playing reserve in Italy, will be released from national duties on Saturday to return to Wasps and he takes his place on the bench in a big boost to the match-day squad.
"This Sunday begins an important period of four Aviva Premiership games but our focus is fully on taking on an extremely dangerous Saracens side," said Young.
"Even though they are missing some players, they will come to Adams Park pretty confident. They have an excellent squad and I know that players coming in are just as dangerous to an opposition because they want to keep hold of the shirt.
"For our part I am pleased that we were able to give a number of players a much needed break in the past few weeks and they have come back and put in a really strong week of training. We're looking forward to this game."
In other player news – Chris Mayor this week underwent surgery for an injured thumb and is likely to be out of action for up to three months.
Form: London Wasps are the poorest team in Aviva Premiership Rugby on current form, having secured just three league points from their last six matches. In 25 seasons of league rugby Wasps have never lost seven successive matches. Saracens are unbeaten in their last nine matches in all competitions since their 8-30 reversal at Northampton in the Premiership on 26 November. Saracens secured a first ever win at Adams Park on their last visit in February 2011. Wasps beat Saracens 20-15 at Twickenham in the London Double Header on 3 September but have not achieved a Premiership double over Sarries since season 2006/07.
The teams:
London Wasps: 15 Hugo Southwell, 14 Richard Haughton, 13 Dom Waldouck, 12 Riki Flutey, 11 Elliot Daly, 10 Nick Robinson, 9 Nic Berry, 8 Billy Vunipola, 7 Jonathan Poff, 6 Richard Birkett, 5 Marco Wentzel (c), 4 Ed O'Donoghue, 2 Ben Broster, 2 Tom Lindsay, 1 Tim Payne.
Replacements: 16 Vladislav Korshunov, 17 Zak Taulafo, 18 Simon McIntyre, 19 Heinz Koll, 20 Sam Jones, 21 Joe Simpson, 22 Ryan Davis, 23 Tom Prydie.
Saracens: 15 Alex Goode, 14 Duncan Taylor, 13 Chris Wyles, 12 Adam Powell, 11 James Short, 10 Nils Mordt, 9 Peter Stringer, 8 Jackson Wray, 7 Andy Saull, 6 Justin Melck, 5 Hayden Smith, 4 George Kruis, 3 Carlos Nieto, 2 Jamie George, 1 John Smit.
Replacements: 16 Schalk Brits, 17 Rhys Gill, 18 Petrus du Plessis, 19 Hugh Vyvyan, 20 Will Fraser, 21 Neil de Kock, 22 Joel Tomkins, 23 Michael Tagicakibau.

At last! A gladiator sandal I can wear!
"I really like these, and best of all; THEY FIT MY AVERAGE ANKLES! I don't have "tooth-pick" or "bird" legs / ankles. I've tried several different brands and they all have one thing in common - the ankle straps were for people with tiny ankles! These sandals have nice length straps that will fit those with what I consider normal ankles, some may consider them as athletic ankles. What ever! They're not just for tooth-pick legs!The leather is soft and supple, so if they seem a little snug, they will give a little as you wear them. Be aware, these do have a toe thong, so if that bothers you these aren't going to be for you."

Thanks very much to Mercanti Fiorentini & DSW for making this model available. I look forward to future purchases from both."

Fake Magic Tricks Exposed on the Web!
How do magicians keep their tricks a secret in the age of the Internet?
Sleight of hand, naturally.
The new magic-fueled thriller starring Jesse Eisenberg, "Now You See Me," may send some viewers straight to Google in search of secrets to tricks before the credits roll—particularly to unravel some splashy illusions created with the help of Los Angeles magician David Kwong. While Googlers may come up empty on certain tricks (some used computer graphics) other secrets are out there for the taking.
To combat such leaks in the magic world, enthusiasts at theory11, a web site that functions as a kind of iTunes for magic tricks, have spent the last two years littering the Internet with phony explainer videos.
The goal: to fool people into thinking they've cracked a trick's code. At the very least, the videos on YouTube and Vimeo may confuse and delay those in search of quick-and-easy access to trade secrets.
The nonsense videos started as a lark, but they quickly turned into a tool to help protect the craft from spoilers, says Jonathan Bayme, the magic site's 26-year-old founder based in Charleston, S.C.
The site has held up to 10 contests giving prizes to the most laughably phony videos that, for the uninitiated, could be potentially believable. One trick, called "filter," in which a coin appears to move through the side of a drinking glass and clink to the bottom, drew some outside-the-box explanations.
"Some people had duct tape and fishing line and a candle and a light bulb," says Mr. Bayme, adding that the trick doesn't require extra props. "They were using a pulley system that went up to the ceiling."
Theory11 sells the how-to's for magic tricks from about $5 to $100. Mr. Bayme says the site teaches magic in a "respectful manner" with videos starring each trick's creator—and aimed at magic students interested in performing, not people with a passing desire to uncover a trick's mystery.
Here are some phony explainers from theory11 contests, along with videos of the actual tricks.

Canada finally announced their 2014 roster for the Sochi Olympics, and without a doubt the biggest surprise is Claude Giroux not making the team.
There are eleven returning players on the 25-man roster, but in my eyes Rick Nash continues to be the most overrated player in the NHL. Nash has had one 70-point season, and since the 2010 Olympics he has scored 185 points in 228 games, 25th most amongst Canadian-born players. In that same time span Marty St.Louis has scored the most points, 271, while Giroux is third with 255.
Nash has only two goals in 16 NHL playoff games, but Hockey Canada seems to put more onus on the fact he has played well at the water-downed World Championships.
Nash did play okay at the last Olympics, but how much of that was because he was on Toews line, and Toews was the best player in the tournament.
Nash has 18 points in 27 games this year. No one can say he is playing well, or close to the level of Claude Giroux, but Hockey Canada choose him because he's played for them before. I guess Giroux should not play crappier in the NHL so his team could miss the playoffs and he can pad his stats at the World Championships.
Here is the roster, returning players have **.
- Roberto Luongo**
- Carey Price
- Mike Smith
- Jay Bouwmeester
- Drew Doughty**
- Dan Hamuis
- Duncan Keith**
- Alex Pietrangelo
- PK Subban
- Marc-Edouard Vlasic
- Shea Weber**
- Jamie Benn
- Patrice Bergeron**
- Jeff Carter
- Sidney Crosby**
- Matt Duchene
- Ryan Getzlaf**
- Chris Kunitz
- Patrick Marleau**
- Rick Nash**
- Corey Perry**
- Patrick Sharp
- Steven Stamkos
- John Tavares
- Jonathan Toews**
I still believe Canada is the favourite, because of the blueline and their top-six forwards; Crosby, Tavares, Stamkos, Getzlaf, Perry and Toews.
It will be an awesome tournament and I can't wait to watch, but picking Nash over Giroux makes little sense. Essentially they are basing it on seven good games that happened four years ago. Horrible decision.
Which decision surpised you?
January 07 2014, 08:34PM
For those of you even considering Phaneuf, you need to get back on your meds. He is a pylon and would get walked around wide on the big ice surface. There will always be debate on players selected (and I may agree that St. Louis should have been selected) but other than Lowe, I have complete confidence in the selection group. One interesting note: Yzerman likely could have swayed the vote for St. Louis....but didn't. Lowe likely could have swayed some votes for Hall....but chose not to. Should be an interesting dynamic when both return to their teams.
You get that right, the best defenceman on the Canucks this year has been Tanov..
The only Canadian forwards of note are Burrows and Santorelli - the former is injured and was in a slump before his injury, and the latter is way too unproven. Hamhuis is the current #1 defenceman. Luongo is already on the team. Who, pray tell, is this mystery Canadian on Vancouver who's better than Hamhuis and should have made the team over him?
January 08 2014, 08:25AM
You write that as if Hockey Canada owes the Canucks something, which they clearly don't. Burrows would never make that team, don't fool yourself. I actually like the Hamhuis pick as he's a great skater and has some (albeit minimal) experience playing with Weber.
There's still a chance Giordano will go to Sochi. He's an unofficial reserve in case one of the blue liners is injured in the meantime, according to the Sportsnet 960 morning crew.

if i remember iggy djid good last olympics he must have declined too much in skill too bad i thought he and crosby were the heroes of the gold medal game.
if i remember iggy djid good last olympics he must have declined too much in skill too bad i thought he and crosby were the heroes of the gold medal game.
He did play well in 2010
Not so well in 2006
And he was the hero of the 2002 team in salt lake (along with Sakic as his centre)
But he is almost 40 now.
Aging power forwards in their farewell tour year don't usually do well in short tournament on big ice.
They already have plenty of leadership, and that is all he could really bring to Team Canada at this stage of his career.
"And he was the hero of the 2002 team in salt lake (along with Sakic as his centre)"
That line was a beast. I think they had like Lemieux on the other wing. Insanity.

The weather continues to surprise, with strong and cold winds making the sky seem foggy. We're hearing that fellow excavators near Khartoum, and as far north as Luxor in Egypt, are also reporting strange conditions.
At Amara, when we arrive before 7am, the workmen are usually huddling around a fire to keep warm. Far from electrical lights, we also become more aware of the cycles of the moon – we've just had a full moon, and work started today as the moon set over the town and cemetery.
We start our last week of digging on Saturday – trying to answer some outstanding questions, but most importantly ensuring everything we've excavated has been properly documented so that research and post-excavation work can continue over the rest of the year.
