"I really am living the dream and returning to the UK, whatever the reaction, really tops its off. It has been a whirlwind year or so really but I can't think of a better way to top it off than with this tour and getting to wrestle for TNA in front of my hometown crowd. It might be a cliché but it really is a dream come true, I have wanted to be a wrestler for so long and now being able to do it, is just amazing."

The town of Paint Rock in Jackson County is a few days away from no longer having a police presence. The chief and another officer resign their posts late Tuesday night.
Their departures will leave one remaining part-time officer, and he is not scheduled to work between Saturday and Monday.
Chief Billy Wilson gave notice two weeks ago. Wilson and another officer resigned, saying the working relationship between the police and the mayor had deteriorated after the mayor's son was twice arrested by the department.
Townspeople came out in numbers for the meeting two weeks ago when the council voted to disband the municipal court. Some residents are concerned the police department will be the next thing to go.
The interim chief said he has requested more officers be hired, but warned they will not have anyone on duty for the coming weekend. "They'll have to call the sheriff's department and count on them, depend on them to cover them," said Interim Chief Robert Kirk. "[Remaining officer] Chuck Philips does an excellent job. I believe Chuck will do the best he can with what he's got. He's limited to his resources."
Kirk said he was told no more officers could be hired until after the council meets on March 18.
Dennis Cobb is preparing to open an antique store across the street from City Hall in May. The lack of a 24/7 police presence concerns him. "I'm worried about someone breaking in our store if there's not going to be a cop here," he said."
Attempts to reach Mayor Jane Nevels for comment on this story were unsuccessful.

It's a strange fact of life that when young girls see their favorite pop stars, many start to cry. But apparently, the mere statues of One Direction at Madame Tussauds in London are enough to send teen girls into sobbing fits, and that's caused the museum to make special arrangements.
The British tabloid The Daily Mirror reports that there's so much crying going on around the eerily realistic wax figures of Harry , Louis , Niall , Zayn and Liam , Madam Tussauds has had to order extra boxes of tissues -- 150, to be exact -- to handle all the moisture. Not only that, but the paper claims the museum has actually hired someone to be a "tissue attendant" and make sure there are enough on hand to wipe away the tears.
The One Direction wax figures will be in London until July, and then they'll head off on a world tour, with stops that include New York City and Australia.

RHINELANDER, Wis (WSAU) The Rhinelander School District may shut down its charter school program. They're facing a $3-million budget shortfall.
The Northwoods Community Secondary School currently serves 67 students. It acts as a school-within-a-school. Classes are held at Rhinelander High School. Shutting down the program would save the district about $400,000.
The school board meets tonight to discuss possible budget cuts. They may also lay-off 8 full-time teachers, and make cuts to sports and co-curricular activities.

Learning over summer. Any good on line courses?
This may sound strange but over summer I get rather bored and to be honest I don't want to let myself get lazy so I want to try and learn some stuff. I have looked on line and saw there is some pretty good sites such as khan academy, which have free courses on line. I was wondering if anyone knows what the best one is?It would be preferable if they have courses in Sociology and other social sciences as that is my area of interest. Also I don't just want videos to watch I quite like being given some work. Yes I know this is quite a odd request but I just hate coming back after summer and struggling with remembering my own name never mind anything else.

Why you're stressed about your 401k
Our 401k's are a source of confusion and fear for many of us. Here's what you need to know about them.
This post comes from Marilyn Lewis at partner site Money Talks News.
If you're lying awake at night wondering if your 401k is properly invested, it's not much comfort to know that millions of other Americans are probably losing sleep over the same thing.
Safely saving for retirement doesn't have to be as complicated as we make it, however. Let's look at some ways to reduce your stress about your retirement accounts.
We "lack the confidence to effectively manage" our retirement savings, a poll by Charles Schwab concludes. It found, in a nationwide survey of more than 1,000 401(k) plan participants, that:
- More than half (52%) find explanations of their 401k investments more confusing than explanations of their health care benefits (48%).
- Fifty-seven percent wish there was an easier way to figure out how to choose the right 401k investments.
- Nearly half (46%) don't feel they know what their best investment options are, and one-third (34%) feel a lot of stress over correctly allocating their 401k dollars.
The crazy thing is, anxious investors are right. Our 401k's were never intended to be a primary path to retirement. They were developed, in the 1980s, for high-paid corporate executives to shelter additional investments from taxes -- a supplement to their companies' old-fashioned pension plans, Teresa Ghilarducci tells PBS' Frontline in "Why the 401k is a 'Failed Experiment.'"
Eventually companies decided to offer them to employees in place of traditional pension plans.
Although 401k's may not be ideal, they're what a large proportion of Americans have to work with. Here are seven ways to wring the most out of your retirement accounts:
1. At the very least, max out your employer contribution
Find out if your employer matches your 401k contribution and, if so, what the maximum contribution is. For example, if your employer matches your contributions dollar for dollar up to 6% of your $4,000 monthly salary, you'll get $240 free in your account for the first $240 you save. If you don't take advantage of your employer's match, you're throwing away free money.
Don't stop there, though. If you can, add more to your 401k. The maximum the IRS allows you to save in a 401k in 2013 is $17,500. Add another $5,500 if you're 50 or older.
2. Bone up on 401k investing
To start, watch this 90-second video primer for beginner investors. Your 401k allows you to choose among three types of investments:
- Stocks. When you see the word "growth" in the title of an investment option within your 401k, that's a clue that stocks are involved. Stocks -- basically ownership in a company -- offer the most potential for reward, but they also offer the most risk.
- Bonds. When you see "income" as an investment option, you're probably looking at a fund that contains bonds. While stocks are an "ownership" investment, bonds are "loanership." You're lending money to a company (corporate bonds), local government (municipal bonds) or Uncle Sam (treasury bonds). Bonds pay a fixed rate of interest, come due on a certain date and are backed by the company or government agency that issues them -- all things that generally earn them the reputation of being safer and more stable than stocks.
- Cash. When you see the words "money market," you're probably seeing a fund that's basically a cash equivalent. Like a savings account, these funds don't earn much but the risk is lower than either stocks or bonds.
3. Decide how much to put in each investment type
Here's a simple rule of thumb: Subtract your age from 100. That's the maximum you should have in stocks. Say you're 20. You could have up to 80% in stocks under this rule of thumb. But if you're 70, keep it to 30% because stocks are riskier and, at 70, you have fewer years to make up any losses. You don't want a market downturn just as you're about to retire.
These percentages aren't set in stone. It's just a guide. Adjust up or down to suit your needs and your risk tolerance.
Consider dividing up the remaining part of your 401k equally between an intermediate (meaning neither long- nor short-term) bond fund and a cash equivalent fund.
4. Keep expenses down
Investment fees can dig deep into your profits. Focus on keeping expenses super low. The best way to do that: Invest in index mutual funds.
Explains CNN: "One of the most common indexes is the Standard & Poor's 500, known as the S&P 500, which represents a broad cross section of 500 large American companies."
So an index fund is a great way to own hundreds of big companies, and because it requires little management, an inexpensive way as well.
5. Don't stress over timing
No one expects amateurs to know when to buy and when to sell. Even the pros can't seem to get that right. Fortunately, there's no need to worry if you use a simple system called dollar cost averaging. Make your investments in fixed amounts -- for example, $100 every month.
This method gives you insurance against market dips because you're buying more shares when they're cheap, and fewer when they're more expensive.
6. Forget the experts
Ignore actively managed funds. They're more expensive. They often don't outperform index funds. And they require you to try to figure out which experts you should invest with. While some managed funds have had excellent results, identifying the winners can be a crapshoot. The Los Angeles Times writes:
In the 10 years that ended June 30, $10,000 invested in the average fund that owns a diversified mix of large-capitalization, or blue-chip, U.S. stocks grew to $18,840. But the same amount invested in the Vanguard 500 Index fund, which tracks the Standard & Poor's 500 index, grew to $20,002 -- $1,162 more than the average fund, according to data from financial research firm Morningstar Inc.
After 25 years the Vanguard 500 Index Fund had accumulated $99,503 -- $24,000 more than the average actively managed fund over the same period.
7. Get the lowdown on target date funds
These popular mutual funds are appealing because they take a lot of the work out of investing. You choose the date when you want to retire -- 2030, for example -- and the fund is supposed to do the rest, rebalancing your investments periodically to meet your goals.
But target date funds have relatively high fees, says USA Today. Also, the returns can be extremely disappointing, points out this Forbes critique, which tells how to emulate one of the better target date funds on your own, cutting the fees in half.
Are you confident that your 401k will produce the money you need when retirement comes?

More on Money Talks News:
Employers should offer to pay for the employee to receive education on investing. The classes can occur on company time and be taught by someone other than the provider of the 401K plan. It is the least the employer can do considering all they money the company is saving by not offering a traditional pension.
The high schools need to do a better job of educating kids on person finance. Keep the banks and investment professionals out of the high schools. The classes need to be taught someone who has nothing to gain by what he is teaching.

Wives seem perenially afraid of their husbands cheating. Statistics on how many married men cheat can vary (here's one survey that says 22 percent of married men have cheated at least once), but one thing is clear: No woman wants her man to cheat. And there are a bunch of industries dedicated to "affair proofing" your marriage -- or at least being able to catch the dirty dog in the act. But now here comes an ingenious device to ward off the wandering hubby: An "anti-cheating" ring that literally stamps your man's marital status on his finger like a cattle brand.
The anti-cheating ring is stamped inside with "I'm Married" backwards. If a wayward hubs tries to slip his band off his finger while he's out (without you, presumably), the words "I'm Married" will be imprinted on his finger.
Ooh la la. Faithful husband guaranteed! The ring sounds like the solution to a wary wife's suspicions -- but it's not. Here's why.
1. The "I'm Married" imprint doesn't show up well in the photos -- and could be more unclear in real life. I guess if a straying hubs is under the fluorescent glare of his office, putting the moves on his comely coworker, one could read it. But I doubt any interested female would notice the stamp or be able to read it through the dim lighting and beer-goggles of a bar.
More from The Stir: Woman Makes Out with Married Man in Bar & Then Tells the Wife
2. Who is supposed to buy this? If the wife buys it and gives it to hubs, what message is this sending? It's sending the message that you don't trust your husband one tiny little bit -- meaning your relationship is in trouble. Would a husband actually buy this? Uh, sure. Right after he buys the Fifty Shades of Grey box set -- for himself.
3. Guys who are determined to cheat will always find a way to do it. Got a little marital status stamped on your digit? Cover it up with a Band-Aid. "Oh, that? Just a papercut." Wink. Hounds are masters at dogging and they'll wriggle out of any leash you put on them, no matter how tight.
4. Married men get more action. Yep. You know there are actually men who put on a wedding band to get more lady action? Yep.
5. If your guy is so intent on cheating that you need to give him this ring, allow him to cheat. Let the next woman have him and his venereal diseases. Then buy yourself a ring that says, "I'm Free."
Would you buy your husband this ring? What about your friend's husband?!

My husband can't really get his wedding ring off. Not because he's gained weight, but because we were really broke when we bought it (at walmart, lol) and it was the biggest size they had, but it wasn't big enough (he has really big hands) That being said, he does spin the ring around a lot, so wouldn't that kind of mess with the imprinting?
if you need one of these, i suggest you go ahead and put a divorce lawyer on retainer.
If a guy is going to cheat, a gimmicky ring isn't going to stop him. Pity. If you don't mean the vows, don't get married, man OR woman.
My uncle once told me that he got hit on at the bar more when he had his wedding ring on.
LOL nope I would not buy this or expect my man to wear it
@Heather my husband tells me the same thing - He gets hit on twice as much with the ring on! So would I buy him an anti-cheating ring, No. I would spend that money on a lawyer cause if he's going to cheat a ring will not stop him.
Ha! Like this would stop anyone for a minute. If your husband wants to cheat, he will; the key is first picking someone who doesn't, and then keeping the relationship happy for both parties so no one feels tempted.
Or just tattoo "property of HIS WIFE" on his forehead; that would work too.
I feel like giving this ring to your husband would be quite an insult. Basically saying that you don't trust him and you think he's a cheater.
stupid. my husband gets hit on more now that he's married, than when we were dating. some women actually ONLY go after married men, it's the thrill of the forbidden and other messed up issues they have. It is an insult to the husband if you have a trusting relationship. If not, then you have issues to work out.
That being said, i would find it funny if my husband wore a t-shirt that said "my wife is a boxer... hit on me...at your own risk!"

How can I set a start date?
I have a task with a due date, but it can only start 3 weeks before the due date.
How can I set a start date (like in Outlook) so that I can then sort my tasks by start date?
All responses
Hello Sebastien,
Unfortunately, it's not possible to set start dates in Todoist, you can only add one date to a task (the due date), but we may consider adding such option in the future and you're welcome to vote for this request in our Votebox: http://todoist.com/Vote/showProposal/415/
For now, as a workaround, you could try to consider due dates as start dates and use labels as deadlines so, for example, the task's due date can be set to the time when you must start working on it and you could put a label showing the deadline of when this task must be completed. You could type @20/4 within the task name to do so.
Also, with Todoist Premium, you could use the due date as a deadline and then set an email, SMS or mobile push reminder to 3 weeks before this deadline to remind you about the start date.
Best regards,
This is an interesting solution. Another could be to put an item's due at it's start time, and a child item as it's deadline. Eg.
☐ Open your test booklets > Mar 18 @ 1:00pm
☐ Final problem due > Mar 20 @ 2:00pm
Then you would get a reminder of when you can start on a project, continue to be nagged if you choose by leaving it unchecked, and also get a final reminder when whatever is due, that can be dismissed when you have completed it.
The startdate feature is something that I have missed since I started using ToDoist, but the ease of syncing across multiple devices is too good to leave.
These are great suggestions and I will have to give them a try. Just wanted to say thanks to Sebastien for addressing this!
Create a sub-task "Start this task". Its due date will be your start date.
Coming from OmniFocus, I can say that start time/date is superfluous feature in most situations and only clutters the interface.
Just when i thought i finally found the perfect to-do app, i read about this HUGE issue about not being able to set start dates…
Not wanting to sound offensive, but that's just plain ridiculous
If i get it right, it means that under Label (the GTD contexts) you always see every task with that label, even if you can't do nothing with it till a future date
(birthdays are a simple but very clear example, i guess…)
A starting date may be superfluous if you manage your life by 'Today, Next 7 Days'
But it's simply ESSENTIAL if you manage tasks by labels/contexts (GTD anyone?)
After a very short love story with Todoist, i'm sadly leaving the place, back at OmniFocus…

Like, nationally stupid, not just what your cousin posts every day.

Facebook is the brilliant social media innovation that lets you "like" articles on the Internet (like this one!), share photos with friends, and constantly measure just how unpopular you are when nothing you post gets any likes or comments (yet for some reason Brad gets like 40 likes just for posting some shitty photo of a soda he's drinking with some stupid caption like, "lol what school did Dr. Pepper graduate from lol." Fuck you, Brad). Anyway! Lots of fun things happened on Facebook this week. And by "fun" we mostly mean "criminal" or "stupid."
Hot Iron Burns Child, Babysitter Facebook Messages Parents
We don't have a doctorate in babysitting (just a University of Phoenix masters), but it's a solid guess that if the child you're watching gets his face burned with an iron, you shouldn't take that kid to a parade after a quick Facebook message to the parents. 9-1-1, a phone call to the parents, a telegram to UNICEF…there are probably like 10,000 more appropriate methods of communicating that, again, a kid's face was burned with a hot clothes iron.
Hardcore Conservatives Rip Off Bioshock
A few days ago, The National Liberty Organization, a conservative group dedicated to making people scared of immigrants, started throwing up posters with such winning slogans as, "For God and Country – It Is Our Holy Duty To Guard Against The Foreign Hordes" on its Facebook page. Strangely, these posters didn't appear like they were sloppily designed in MS Paint by your racist grandparents to be forwarded in chain emails. In fact, the NLO was totally co-opting messaging and images from blockbuster video game Bioshock Infinite…which satirizes exactly the kind of philosophy the NLO espouses. If there was an irony Olympics, this just won gold.

Greetings gang from bee-U-TEE-ful sunny and warm Florida. The Divine Mrs. R and I as well as the tax-exemptions will be down here for a week enjoying a bit of vacation-time fun. However, I'll still be chimmin' in from time to time…in between swimming in the pool, relaxing with cool drink in hand, soaking up some rays, taking part in some of the resort's activities and generally enjoying the sights.
In the mean time, I'll leave you with some reading assignments for this holiday weekend.
But first…let me please take this time to remind everyone of the reason we celebrate Memorial Day. We have countless blessing that are bestowed upon us simply because of the great country we live in. We enjoy such wonderful freedoms that come simply by being an American. These blessings and freedoms have been bought and protected throughout the past two and a third centuries via the sacrifice of our brave men and women who have paid the ultimate price. We not only remember and honor these soldiers who have fallen for our freedoms this weekend, but also we do the same for the family and loved ones that they have left behind.
Please take some time over the course of the next couple of days…between the barbecuing, shopping, hiking and other activities…to pause, honor and give thanks for those who have refreshed the tree of liberty with their blood.
And with that…here are some weekend reading assignments.
First off the bat…Pittsbugh took a two-OH series leadagainst Carolina last night with a very exciting 7-4 win as Evgeni Malkin scored a hat trick. Funny though…I don't recall hearing about Sidney Crosby complaining to the refs about all the hats being thrown to the ice this time.
Here we have Don Waddell chatting with Ben Wright of the Blueland Blog. Among other things, Don discusses the possibility of Ilja Nikulin playing in Atlanta this fall
TSN is reporting that the Minnesota Wild will hire Pittsburgh's assistant GM Chuck Fletcher to be their new general manager.
Allan Muir of Sports Illustrated writes that the Blackhawks won't be able to out-skill the Red Wings…so, they'll have to out-work them.
Ross KcKeon of Yahoo Sports believes that we will be in for a rematch of last year's Stanley Cup Finals. If so, I'm rooting for Pittsburgh…even if only because of the sweet irony of the Marian Hossa angle of the story.
Ryan Kennedy of The Hockey News is excited about a group of young players that may soon see action in the NHL. He also believes that the Lightning's Steven Stamkos is poised to have a great sophomore season.
Wondering how the Thrasher may budget for Ilya Kovalchuk's expected salary increase? Well, here's a thought as to how it could be worked out. WARNING…if you're a Slava Kozlov fan, you might not like this.
And finally…Jeromy Roenick believes that the reason Chris Chelios' time on ice has been reduced is because Red Wings coach Mike Babcock has a "grudge against American players".

"Wondering how the Thrasher may budget for Ilya Kovalchuk's expected salary increase?"
I haven't really been bothered by the monetary side of things, as I am confident that ownership and management will find a way to fit him on the roster. The problem, from the monetary perspective, is how they'll fit him in.
However, right now the primary concern should be how they'll convince Kovalchuk to stay, not how they'll pay the bills once he's signed.

May 22nd, 2009
9:04 am
Well… looks like I was correct on my Defensive pairings… this is what I took from Waddell's comments.
Bogosian Enstrom
Hainsey (big physical defenseman)
Exelby Valabik
So, two UFA's that fit that bill are Mike Komisarek and Hal Gill… and if Waddell is using players to make phone calls and recruit… I'll say Colby Armstrong gives Hal Gill a call.
May 22nd, 2009
9:08 am
An interesting point on the draft… unless Waddell is posturing… he doesn't consider the current rankings of Hedman, Tavares and Duchene as the Top 3 prospects… but he seems pretty high on Hedman and Tavares in other comments.
So, who does he see as higher than Duchene? … I'd have a problem with him drafting Schenn if he doesn't project him as a Top Line forward. But he did mention him 3rd when discussing "in no particular order" the top prospects.
… I'm hoping it's Kane or Cowen… I can live with those.

Don discusses the possibility of Ilja Nikulin playing in Atlanta this fall – we could hear this same story for years………….
May 22nd, 2009
10:14 am
Wow. I just read that DW piece. I'm now convinced he's going to trade the #4 pick for Briere and the rights to talk to Knuble.
Because that'd be the exactly wrong thing to do. I have complete confidence that Donni will do just that.
Or worse. The phrase that cinched it?
" …I'd move right out of the draft if I was getting a good player to put on our hockey club right now."
This from the man who gave us Steve Rucchin as a replacement for Savard "He's got experience playing with skilled guys…" to paraphrase Donni back then.
I was relatively optimistic about this offseason-going on the "a stopped clock is right twice a day" theory… comments like that have me worried.
May 22nd, 2009
10:47 am
Tony C. — If the return was somebody other than 'Sir Flops Alot' Briere would you be more accepting of a trade involving that #4 pick?
For instance, if Ottawa offered Atlanta Spezza and their first pick for Atlanta's first and some prospect, would you be upset? I doubt such a trade would happen, but the point is I don't personally see Kane/Schenn/any other #4-10 prospect as being BETTER than a proven NHL first line commodity, that in turn will help convince Kovalchuk to stay. Of course it's a gamble because Kovalchuk could still leave and the traded player could leave after the contract expires…but in my opinion a shot at keeping Kovalchuk by giving him a top tier linemate for a few years is better than drafting an 18 year old and praying he develops as projected (you can call it the Stefan/Valabik Syndrome).
Hokie — What's with the love fest for Gill? Personally I see him as a taller pylon than Sutton, with no upside to his game beyond bruising potential. He's not exactly young (34), he's slow, and I don't personally consider him a top 4 defender in the NHL. Sure he's physical and can block shots, but I think there are more rounded defenders that will be available for the same price, who are also younger. I agree on Komisarek, but I can't ever see a Gill signing as something to get excited about.

I wouldn't mind seeing us go after Komisarek-but would it be at the expense of a big-body fwd? I hear he's looking for a big payday.
May 22nd, 2009
10:51 am
Tony, I'm scared Waddell is going to do something infinitely stupid.
When he does, we're going to hear a loud "slap" all across the Atlanta area.
It will be the sound of a million people slapping their foreheads in unison, come draft day.
May 22nd, 2009

"I wouldn't mind seeing us go after Komisarek-but would it be at the expense of a big-body fwd?"
UFA wise, I don't think there are any top line big bodied forwards. If you were choosing between a top 6 big bodied forward and a top 4 big bodied defender, which do you think helps this team more? I'd argue the defender.
May 22nd, 2009
11:11 am
ranallo… Hal Gill is a very dependable, stay at home defender with shot blocking ability (as you stated), which is the one aspect we're missing from Sutton's departure… Hal Gill is much rougher than Sutton in clearing guys from the crease also. He'd be a great guy for Valabik to learn from.
May 22nd, 2009
11:17 am
ranallo- If it was for somebody like say, Spezza-along with the other guy's 1st-rounder back, then yes. But from this interview and some other comments by Donni-he's looking to "vulture" up somebody that is priced out of his club's budget-Briere clearly fits that description; I would be ok with getting Gagne from Philly, but I'm sure they'd rather get rid of Briere… Anyway, yes I'd be ok with other players but I would be very hesitant to give up a franchise cornerstone for a guy that's on the downslope of their career-no matter if the player is great, I mean, let's say SJ is really serious about blowing things up and offers up Jumbo Joe well, you gotta think that'd be a done deal…amd when I talk about Komisarek's price tag, I'm thinking Donni is looking to trade for the Fwd-who probably has an ugly contract…. IDK, me I'd do some crazy stuff, but I really feel that trading the lottery pick means you're trading a "franchise core" type player (yes development time is an issue but the value isn't), so I'd be expecting the same sort of caliber player in return.
For instance, no chance in hell would I trade with Toronto for just player(s) & prospect(s)… I'd have to get their 1st-round pick also.

I know Briere was injured last year, but you wouldn't trade the #4 pick to have him on the top line with Kovy? To me, the only downside to that is that his current contract goes until he is 37, which means that if he starts to break down, then you have a 36-37 year old in 5-6 years with a big contract. Maybe I missed something on the guy and his injury, but that seems like a good trade to me…
May 22nd, 2009
11:44 am
I'd take Knuble too if we could get him for a 2 year deal….he's a UFA this year I believe.

WAIT A SECOND…good lord man-everytime i read something from Don i want to go puke. HOW IN THE WORLD IS THIS GOING TO HAPPEN:
"We were tracking at about $46 million last year and we finished a lot lower because we traded Schneider and we traded Havelid once we knew we weren't going to make the playoffs. I think we'll track someplace in that neighborhood next season, and as I've said many times before, if the team is in a position where we can make a statement I think we will have the resources behind us to do it."
We have the "resources behind us to do it", do WHAT? Were on track for that AGAIN???? Stay at the low end of the cap?? GOOD FREAKIN LORD. How do you expect to sign a TOP 6 O man and D man and Kovy and stay at that cap level??????????? I'm serious, can someone, anyone explain that to me??? WHAT WORLD DO THEY LIVE IN????
He and Levenson just discussed it? I would love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation!!!
Another classic from that quote, "once we knew we were out of the playoffs" ahhahahhahah, DUDE WE KNEW THAT FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. WAKE UP. I hope Levenson reads these blogs today. This is just a bad joke.
Sorry, had to vent, this economy, women and this hockey team aren't helping my mood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like the past year for me. Heh. I'm amazed I still have a head on my shoulders.
Only thing that will help my mood tonight is a Wings victory.
May 22nd, 2009
12:18 pm
Spud… well, we have about $16 million to do all that… seems feasible to me. Kovy is under contract, so he doesn't factor into that.
May 22nd, 2009
12:27 pm
h-Aside from the fact that he's a midget that flops? And is old, and is injury-prone (partly because he's a hobbit)? AND he's over-priced??? Nah, nothing to not like about Briere.
May 22nd, 2009
12:53 pm
Tony… so what you're saying is, Briere's nickname should be "Hobbit Flop"?
May 22nd, 2009
1:05 pm
Seriously, Briere is a gifted scorer, but for that type of money, I don't want a guy that's going to be on the shelf as often as he is.
Also, you look at the money he's being paid-that's the contract for a year-in, year-out 90+point-a-year guy. Briere could be that guy, but he's only shown it for a season and a half. I would think to get the most out of Briere, you'd still need a big-body fwd to clear space for him and #17. hang on let me find some stats… He's missed almost 100 games due to injury over the past 4 regular seasons (237 GP out of a possible 328), most often with the same area injured (abdominal strain/tear or groin pull/tear) this even despite his "legendary" offseason workout sessions with "Canada's Strongest Man" Hugo Girad. So not only does he get hurt a lot, he already is taking remarkable precautions against injury.
I know his contract was front-loaded, which would make his contract a little more tolerable than say Gomez' but still I think we're good on Hobbits.

Tony… Ugh, why did you make me watch that?
I'm thinking more and more that $4 million and a call from Kovalchuk, Antropov will be our big guy upfront.
May 22nd, 2009
2:32 pm
Tony, I'd love to have Briere. I agree with you on the flopping, but if he's flopping for us and butting the biscuit in the basket, so be it.
I am in the same boat as you guys with economic trouble, but things will improve but Alan, I noticed that you made a typo, let me fix it for you here: Only thing that will help my mood tonight is a 'Hawks victory.
May 22nd, 2009
2:51 pm
A healthy Briere? Absolutely.
Problem is, he's getting older (which generally INCREASES the probability of injury), and seems to be taking longer to come back from injury.
He also costs a ton for a guy that you can only realistically count on for 45-55 games a year.
I wouldn't be upset to see Antropov in thrasherbleu, but $4M/per? seems awful high to me. Now, $4M over 2 years? Run it.
So here's a question, who would you consider trading that #4 overall pick for (let's be reasonable, kids)???
Also, Hokie- does this make up for it?
May 22nd, 2009
2:58 pm
Tony… that was slightly more entertaining.
I think $4 million to Antropov puts him out of reach for teams like Ottawa. And a call from Kovalchuk makes it hard for him to take less somewhere else.
I was just doing the math on Ben Wright's blog… if we have $16 million to spend.
$5 million on Armstrong, Valabik and Salmela.
$3-$4 million on Kari Lehtonen if we keep him.
$3 million on Ilya Nikulin, if he comes over.
That leaves $4 million for a Center… might as well give it to Antropov, cause that won't buy much better.
May 22nd, 2009

Nei, Bob, I meant Red Wings. Not Blackhawks.

Well after reading the waddell interview… He is more confused than ever. This guy cannot admit any mistakes, or poor players but mostly HIS mistakes !
I see where he plans on YET another bottom of the league, salary 45-46 million, which tells all of us, they do not give a damn about winning or making a commitment to the fans of Atlanta.
waddell is just nothing but hot air, he has zero clue as to how to build a professional hockey team, that has been shown how many times over the years ? How many plans ????? What is this plan D now ?
I look for Kovy to leave, why stay with a team that WILL NOT try to go out and get the type players to improve the team. How many players have
said this team is NOT moving in the right direction ??? How Many ?
Either by actions or their quotes. And did #17 NOT say the team MUST IMPROVE with UFA signings etc… Easy to see if not he will leave…
And again don waddell proves how DUMB he is, anyone on this blog would make a 100% better GM than him. Most all of us know what this team needs
but waddell is off in some never never land of fantasy hockey where
you only watch other teams win not your own !
May 22nd, 2009
3:57 pm
Tony C, classic line, "I think we are good on hobbits".
GaHokie, I know Kovy is under contract for the season. I was/am hoping we get him to an extension this summer or I fear he won't be back after next season, someone will come over the top for him. So I dont think there is anyway we sign him and add other "improvements" and stay at 46 mill?????????
May 22nd, 2009
4:06 pm
Even if we extend #17 on 1 July (who's holding their breath?), it will not kick in until 1 July 2K10.
May 22nd, 2009
4:08 pm
So I dont think there is anyway we sign him and add other "improvements" and stay at 46 mill
Bear in mind Kovalchuk's extension won't kick in until next season.
That said, it's hard to "improve" when you're $16 million bucks under the cap. I sincerely hope the owners are listening to him, because from where I'm sitting, it appears our GM is too befuddled to sound cognate.
May 22nd, 2009
4:16 pm
Identity??? So DW claims that our identity is "a young team that doesn't quit". Give that answer in any GM interview and you'd be shown the door without getting your expenses reimbursed. I'd take "big and physical", "speed with skill", "defensive minded" or any other reasonable approach to building a team. Personally I would characterize the Thrasher identity as "cheap".
May 22nd, 2009
5:29 pm
I've really enjoyed reading your comments today, folks. Keep 'er going. At 8PM, it's Chicago HOSTING Detroit. I am hopeful that the change of venue will bring about different results. The NHL announced the SCF schedule. And basically, if the CF are sweeps, the Finals start on the 28th. But if ANY of the two series go five games, the Finals won't start until June 5th. Intesting. That could be as much as 9 days of … absolutely nothing, if the Hawks-Red Wings series goes 5 games, but the 'Canes-Pens series ends in a sweep. Somewhere, somehow, that must make sense to someone.
Segue to crazy ideas, in the Waddell interview, he said, the team's identity was in question. Or words to this effect. When was it ever "solidified?!" As Tony C. is fond of saying, "What is Thrashers Hockey?" No one really knows. I couldn't rightly tell you what 'the Plan' was, from 1999 to the present. Other than, "smoosh together a hodge-podge roster of prospects and veterans, and hope for the best, within the budgetary constraints." How'd I do?
Allright. I am loving the Briere discussions. I, personally, wouldn't do it. I like Briere, admire his passion and determination to be a star in the NHL, but he's overpaid. And not getting any younger. Or any bigger. He's just coming off some minor eye surgery. And to my knowledge, he's never ASKED to be in Atlanta. And quite frankly, I've seen enough of players who don't want to be here and didn't ask to be here, or sign to be here. Free agents who sign in Atlanta did so without a gun lodged in their backs or craniums. If they 'guessed wrong,' it's by THEIR doing. Generally-speaking, I don't like trades. I like them MORE when we fleece someone. And actually RE-SIGN that player when the contract is eligible for that. But, in the end, I'd much rather draft the preponderance of my roster and then re-sign it. That's just good ol' "handling your business." If the #4 pick in the draft is to be traded, I'd hope it's for a prospect who was drafted even higher than 4th overall.
There's a couple of players who fit that bill. Stop. I'm not saying this is what we should do, okay? James vanRiemsdyk, former #2 overall pick, was "allegedly, supposedly" on the trading block, by Philadelphia, at the 2009 trade deadline. They "reportedly" wanted Lehtonen for him. Would anyone want him? I'm asking, not advocating. Huge difference there.
Also, Brian Burke, Toronto's GM, has amazingly said that even Luc Schenn is available in a trade with Toronto. There are those who think Luc Schenn's younger brother might be drafted 7th overall, where Toronto is slated to draft, I believe. If Toronto offered their #7 spot, PLUSSSSS Luc Schenn, would you do that deal? And at 7th overall, would you select Brayden Schenn, to keep the brothers together? I'm not advocating. I'm asking. This is a message board where fans come together to discuss ideas. Sometimes respectfully and peaceably. In theory.
What I'd do … is pick 4th overall, absent a better offer/deal to either move up or down. I'd love to move up! I'd love to have Viktor Hedman. I can't imagine what that'd cost a team that ABSOLUTELY RELIES on its future draft picks as their primary means of ESCAPING THIS MESS, however. Hedman can't be had, though. No way the Islanders trade their #1 overall to us. No way Tampa Bay trades within the division. And Colorado seems set on Matt Duchene. So, I don't see a way to move up. Okay, there's a way. But I don't want to talk about it. It involves a player I want to re-sign. I won't even discuss it.
Ranallo is right about Kovalchuk's money. First you get him re-signed, thennnn you worry about managing the rest of the roster. The "phrase that pays," from Waddell, is this one: "We're only talking about dollars and cents." That'd be GRRRREAT news!!! Woo-hoo!! When you hear, "We're still discussing Ilya's future with the team." Not so much. And any trade of Kovalchuk is a LAST RESORT, 2010 trade deadline move. Any GM can still get a good return on Kovy at the deadline. A 1st and 3rd at a minimum, probably some conditional pick or other, be it 1st or 2nd rounder, and maybe even the choice between a roster player and a prospect in their system.
May 22nd, 2009
6:00 pm
Well, in 2010, when Kovalchuk's salary kicks in, we only have $13 million on the books… this team is in great position to do whatever it wants. If it's one compliment you can pay Waddell, it's that this team is always flexible from a salary position going into summer time. As bad as the teams have been over the last decade, we've never been "stuck" with them.
But hopefully we won't squander the $16 million, like years past on "penny stock" players… like Waddell said, we're not at a point where we have to fill a roster. We're only looking for key pieces to plug in.
May 22nd, 2009
6:20 pm
I hope everyone picked up on the big clue that Waddell sent our way about the way they could ideally fill the roster.
High cap hit players who have already played beyond the high salary years of a front loaded contract. In other words, a player who actually costs less than his cap hit indicates…thus allowing the franchise to pay less while still meeting the floor restrictions of the salary cap.
As StateBird said, "cheap".

I was very glad to hear Minnesota hired Chuck Fletcher as their NEW GM !
Son of The Great Cliff Fletcher, Harvard Grad, 12 years as assistant GM,
What is the REAL problem with this picture ? Why is he NOT ATLANTA THRASHERS NEW GM ? Why won't $hit faced levenson and his band of idiots
help the Thrashers by dumping this bum waddell. Chuck would have brought an entire new fresh bright outlook, not the same stupid promises and lies and BS we will see yet again this summer, It will be one of nothing for the Thrashers…. AGAIN !
How in GOD'S name waddell can justify his job is beyond me, Fletcher
would be a ray of sunshine rather than this never ending storm that is waddell. Fletcher knows players,prospects and UFA's… waddell knows nothing, nothing at all about this !
Well we missed another BRIGHT Young Talent to run the Thrashers and we the fans will YET AGAIN Suffer at the hands of waddell and Mr.Potty Mouth the two most STUPID people in professional hockey EVER !

LAC, the loss of Kovalchuk, in and of itself, is what speaks volumes. Nothing can replace that. So, a pick #28, #29, or #30, just means we get a "crapshoot" pick to try to improve our team. Hokie once advanced the notion that such a pick could be used to snare an RFA. People scoffed, but that's precisely what the BlueJackets did to get R.J. Umberger from Philly at last year's draft. So how "crazy" of an idea was it, really? If Atlanta could actually manage to procure an RFA player for pick #28, let's just say, that's still "something." And even if Atlanta uses the pick to select someone, maybe it'll be a player better than Jim Slater. Every year, there are "prizes" in the 2nd round. Good teams find them. If they can be found in the 2nd round, LAC, they can also be found at the very end of the 1st round.
Whether or not Dan Marr, and his staff, can pull of that feat remains to be seen. The loss of Kovalchuk would be substanial, since Kovalchuks and 1st overall selections just don't grow on trees.
May 22nd, 2009
10:53 pm
Dowtown ATL, can you help me fill in the missing pieces? It was 2-0, late in the 1st period. Martin Havlat got knocked out by one of the Red Wings, who got ejected from the game, along with a 5:00 major for boarding or interference. Or something. Truthfully, not trying to stir controversy, but I didn't think the play even merited a penalty, much less an ejection. It was hard, but clean hit on an unsuspecting Havlat, who had his head down, looking at the puck between his skates.
A melee ensued, and players crashed upon the unconscious Havlat. What "regard" they must have for each other. But I digress. Kris Versteeg misses a wide open net, when he's rushed by a Red Wing defender. That's the BEST WAY to make Detroit pay for the hit on Havlat. But, it seemingly didn't matter, since Chicago scored early in the 2nd period, to make it 3-0. But the Red Wings scored 3 goals in 4:25, late in the 2nd stanza, including the final one with less than a minute left in the 2nd period. Unbelievable collapse there. Just unbelievable.
But then, without explanaton, Khabibulin is pulled to start the third period. I presume as a "momentum changer." Cristobal Huet looked shaky to start the 3rd period. Was Khabibulin hurt? Is he "sick?" Did he just walk out on the team? I'd love to hear an explanation.
Nobody has scored in the 3rd period. So, we are headed to overtime. A Red Wing goal here, and it's time to shine up the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl. Because I'll go on record, right now, as saying the Blackhawks won't recover from a 3-0 series deficit. I wonder if Vancouver fans are sad or relieved that they are not now facing the Red Wings, who are looking awesome, right about now.
C'mon Blackhawks! Make it a series, at least.
May 22nd, 2009
11:01 pm
LAC, I feel your sentiment. But, if you had a resume like Chuck Fletcher, wouldn't you wait for a better opportunity than Atlanta?? I would. Tempered with the fact that I'd never been a FULL-TIME GM before. Even so, with his credentials, they scream, "Good bet." He waited for a good situation. I think he found one. Certainly better than Atlanta's. The Minnesota ownership, with the firing of Risebrough, signals a committment towards trying to do better. Chuck Fletcher, I suspect, will be given every opportunity to succeed. That doesn't mean, necessarily, that he'll have a MAX CAP SALARY with which to work. But where he needs a little "extra," he'll probably get from the owners. Minnesota is a fantastic hockey market. It's the part of the culture there.
It'll be interesting to see if Bob Gainey does eventually get fired during this offseason. If so, that's a double-edged sword for the next GM. It reflects a tremendous opportunity to make a reputation. But it also invites media scruntiny over your choice of ties and socks. They'll pick you apart, and second-guess you, at every opportunity.
Overtime has started!
Scores!!! Patrick Sharpe!!! Blackhawks win!!!! WOO-HOO!! This will be a series after all!!!

I still go with Kane at #4, and go with a veteran D-man via free-agency or trade; I think the learning curve for a defenseman is greater than that for a front-liner (think playing CB in the NFL).

Did everyone see the photo of waddell in the blog story on the Thrashers site ?
Itlooks like he is a headless head in a horror show which the Thrashers are with waddell in charge.
Heard Chuck Fletcher on NHL On The Fly, confidence, direction, and a man who knows what he is doing… But he is not here… Career LOSER waddell is still around to ruin the Thrashers even more !
May 23rd, 2009
2:19 am
LAC, when a person has a resume as strong as Chuck Fletcher's, that is, someone clearly GROOMED to be a GM, he can wait for a good opportunity. If presented with the chance here, in Atlanta, he'd likely PASS on it. With Minnesota, he's in a traditional hockey market, with excellent hockey roots and a well-established hockey community. I'm not saying Chuck Fletcher will get a MAXED CAP for "Opening Night," but the decision to fire Risebrough, alone, shows CARING and COMMITMENT towards changing direction, towards winning the Cup. Chuck Fletcher probably took stock of that situation and felt it was the right fit for him. Without knowing that man, whatsoever, my guess is that if he didn't feel like he'd get a 'real opportunity' at winning a Cup, he wouldn't have taken the post.
With a degree from Havard, experience as an assistant GM, experience being a minor league GM, with YEARS and YEARS invested in learning the trade, plus being the son of a Hall of Fame GM like Cliff Fletcher, he's OVERQUALIFIED for the post.
In my opinion, LAC, the only way someone like that would be coming here … is if he thought he'd truly be put in a position to succeed. And that means commitment from ownership towards acquiring and maintaining the pieces of the roster necessary to win the Cup. With a genuine window of opportunity. Does that even 'sound' like FUBAS?
The two things I think FUBAS has going for them, in terms of attracting a GM candidate, are (1) the willingness to provide longevity at the post and (2) the ability to turn the hockey decisions almost entirely up to the GM. I know, they sayyyy they have this "by committee approach." But really, these owners couldn't identify Devin Setoguchi in a police lineup. They didn't know who Alexei Zhitnik was, at the 2007 trade deadline. My 'outsider guess' is that they, by committee, agreed that help was necessary along the blueline, to make the playoffs, in 2007. So Don was "tasked" with providing IMMEDIATE HELP. Waddell's decision?: Trade Coburn to get Zhitnik. It worked. Short-term gain, longterm loss. But it worked. So the owners were happy, but foolish. With benefit of hindsight, perhaps the solution wasn't to make a rash of deadline moves, but rather, to make Waddell come down behind the bench to coach what he, alone, assembled. When he did it the next season, the team went 11-4-1 in a 15 game stretch. Sadly, it led to a new 2-3 year contract extension for Waddell, as ownership was satisfied that 'the problem' was recitified. The Thrashers would finish 28th that year. And get to pick 3rd overall in the 2008 draft. Bygones.
I think, to get Chuck Fletcher here, the ownership would have basically had to promise him FULL CONTROL AND AUTHORITY over ALLLLL personnel decisions. From equipment manager, to scouts, to assistant coaches, to drafts, trades, and free agent signings. And provide him a budget that might allow him to remain competitive, with a true 'window of opportunity' to win the Cup.

The Rams just ran out of gas Tuesday night in a 52-40 loss to Bristol-Plymouth. Eleventh-seeded Upper Cape Tech (10-10) opened MIAA Division 4 South State Tournament play at sixth-seeded Bristol-Plymouth (16-5). After a tenacious first half, the score stood tied at 23-23. In the third quarter UCT poured it on and built a six-point lead at 35-29 with 2:09 left. But the Craftsmen went on a six-point run, interrupted only by a lay-up from Jason Comoletti, and then they hit a jumper with five seconds remaining in the quarter to tie the score at 37-37.
Turnovers marked the opening of the final quarter as the Rams gave the ball away on their first four possessions. Isaac Cardoso and Austin Smolinsky each hit from the free-throw line, but the Craftsmen put their height advantage to work down the stretch and shut off the inside shot. The 3-pointer that on any other night would slip effortlessly through the net for the Rams wouldn't fall and B-P was coming down with the rebounds. The last basket that the Rams hit from the floor was Comoletti's layup with 58 seconds remaining in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter UCT had just three points from the line.
"We got tired in the fourth quarter," coach Roy Porter admitted. "The turnovers in the fourth and missing those 3-pointers was fatigue. I thought we played a good game against a team everybody would rank ahead of us. We played quarter to quarter, and the fourth one got away from us."
UCT allowed the Craftsmen to take an early lead to open the game, but a couple of shots by Cardoso tied the score at 5-5. Comoletti then hit a couple from the floor for a 9-8 UCT lead at the end of one.
B-P big man Matt MacDermid stopped outside the arc and dropped in a 3-pointer to open the second quarter. The Craftsmen then scored the next seven points as they pulled out to an 18-9 lead. John Gagner set up Comoletti underneath for the Rams and then Rally Wheaton drove through the paint, banking one in. Semple picked up three points the hard way with a shot from down low that drew a foul. He then sank the free throw as UCT cut the B-P lead to 20-16.
Smolinsky and Comoletti both hit from the floor, with Comoletti's basket down low coming off a nice dish inside from Cardoso. With 17 seconds left to play in the opening half, Ryan Semple hit one from the line to tie the score at 23-23 at the break.
The Rams had no answer for the obvious height advantage B-P brought to the floor, but the physical play of Comoletti (13 rebounds) and Smolinsky (10 rebounds) inside was giving UCT some extra chances, while the Ram 2-3 zone defense was forcing the bigger Craftsmen to settle for outside shots.

The lead changed hands three times in the opening minute of the third quarter until with 6:44 to play, Smolinsky set up Wheaton for a jumper that tied the score at 27-all. Semple then sank a 3-pointer, but the Craftsmen came right back with a layup by Jacob Gorman-Murphy. Wheaton answered with a 3-pointer from the right side baseline and then after the UCT defense stopped B-P, Wheaton knocked one in off the glass on a fast break for a 35-29 lead before the Craftsmen tied the score at the end of the third.
Trailing 43-40 with 4:36 to play, the tank ran dry for the Rams. Bristol-Plymouth scored nine points in the final 3:24, but they didn't come easy as UCT fought for every inch of floor.
Comoletti had 14 points to finish with a double-double.
