In announcing his intention to run for mayor of the city of Tracy on July 22, Mayor Pro Tem Mike Maciel said he did so because people kept asking him whether he was going to run or not. Well, now we know he plans on running.
The next question of Mr. Maciel: Will he keep past promises he made in running for City Council in his run for mayor?
For example, when he was running for council in 2012, at a candidate forum hosted by the Tracy Airport Association in October (at which I was present and which follows I heard with my own ears), Mr. Maciel, along with current council members Nancy Young and Charles Manne, promised to protect the Tracy airport, as they all agreed it was a magnet and engine for economic growth and development. They all agreed with the steps that had been taken by the city just a few days earlier to have Runway 12/30 remeasured and extended to 4,000 feet from the 3,997 feet it had been reduced to months earlier.
Fast-forward to the City Council meeting of June 18: Mr. Maciel agreed — along with Ms. Young and Mr. Manne, as well as Mayor Brent Ives and Councilman Robert Rickman — to have Runway 12/30 reduced to 3,997 feet.
I ask Mr. Maciel, what happened between October and June 18 to change your mind and not keep your original promise to the airport folks when you were looking for their votes in 2012? (The same could be asked of Mr. Manne and Ms. Young.) It appears that the only immediate beneficiary of the decrease in the length of Runway 12/30 would be the Ellis project, as my letter to the editor printed in the July 26 edition of this paper tried to show.
So, the question begs itself again — will Mr. Maciel keep his original promise made back in October 2012 to protect the airport by keeping the length of runway 12/30 at its then (and still current) 4,000 feet when the runway length comes for another crucial vote in the next 30-60 days? Or has he made a new promise to a person or persons that would benefit from an airport with a smaller runway length? And, if a new promise has been made, to whom?
Steve Nicolaou, Tracy

Amarillo, TX- After the shocking theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado, many are worried for their own safety and the possibility of stricter gun laws, because of that two Amarillo gun providers say gun sales are through the roof.
In just the last few days, Panhandle Gunslingers says they have seen sales nearly double from this time last year.
"I've seen an increase in handgun sales, and we've also seen an increase in inquiries for ar-15s and semi-automatic rifle sales. Those guns right now are hard to get so, we've taken some orders but they haven't manufactured them or delivered them here," said Bernie Stokes with Panhandle Gunslingers.
Erwin Pawn Shop has also seen a jump and say they are seeing dozens of new faces in the shop, many of them first time buyers.
"Gun sales have gone up quite a bit, ammo sales, case lots of ammo have really gone up," said David Erwin, the owner of Erwin Pawn Shop.
The reason behind buying a firearm after the shootings differs, some say it is because there is concern stiffer laws may now come into place and some say it is just because people want to feel safe.
"Anytime you push the controversy of the, people start talking about banning guns or there is a controversy concerning guns then yes there is an increase in gun sales," added Stokes.
"I think people want to be able to protect themselves, the don't want this thing to happen in their neighborhoods, in their neck of the woods. You know that's a bad deal," added Erwin.
At this time some lawmakers are talking about tougher gun laws, but Congress has not passed any gun legislation over the issue in the last several years.

The end of the year put a strain on our local blood supply. More blood was going out, than coming in, which is usually the case over the holidays.For good reason, January is National Blood Donor Month and patients in Sioux Falls need you now more than ever.
Sue says, "I do it for a couple of reasons. I have a lot of platelets and it gives me an excuse to come to Sioux Falls to see my children and run errands. Plus, I have had a couple of dear friends who needed platelets. They treat you so well here. It's an easy thing to do and helps so many people."
Sue won't admit it, but she is a special volunteer because she's a pheresis donor. Avera McKennan is the only hospital in the state with pheresis capability. They have a machine that automatically separate the components of the blood (red cells, plasma, platelets). Sue has a high platelet count. so that's what she donates. Her plasma and red blood cells go back in to her arm. You can actually see a white cloud swirling in to a bag and those are her platelets. They are the cells in our blood that promote clotting. Patients with leukemia and other cancers depend on platelets to survive.
Sue says, "Most of all my platelets are high so it helps me get rid of some of them and one of my dear friends died and needed platelets by the bucket load so I guess I kinda do this for Justin. I have been giving blood since I was in nursing school, but I started donated platelets about a year ago. Justin died last March."
A person donating through pheresis gives 6 times the amount of platelets than those donating all their blood.
Sue says, "It's a bitter sweet feeling. It's a good feeling, but you know that your platelets are going to go to someone who is feeling very sick."
This process takes a little bit longer than donating whole blood and you have to come to Avera McKennan to do it, but the benefits are far reaching.
Leo Serrano is the Director of Avera McKennan Labs. He says, "A single donor through pheresis platelets is very helpful to the patients. It exposes the cancer patients to the least number of donors so it's a safer product. It's a much better way to donate and a much better way to treat our patients."
And you never know when you or your loved ones will be that patient in need of blood. Donate tomorrow. The life you save could be your own.
The Avera McKennan Blood Bank collects about 60 units of platelets a month. Leo Serrano says they need 2 to 3 times that amount. If you'd like to be donor call (605) 322-7111 to set up an appointment at the hospital. Health officials ask that you refrain from taking Aspirin products for 72 hours and Ibuprofen for 24 hours before you donate blood.

They're the only other thing I own that aren't IEM's These have no burn in, but I will add onto this later once they're burned in. I bought these knowing they're full sized cans, with the intent of portable use. They are light and small enough to be reasonably portable. Right off, I have to say that the build quality of everything from the box to the case to the cans...(read more)

Eva's Play-filled "Corners"
My Playroom
Name: Eva (2)
Location: Brisbane, Australia
As much as I would love to have a house big enough for my daughter to have her own playroom, it's just not viable in our townhouse. Instead our living room has become a shared space -- now filled with a mini-kitchen and a teepee! So, when I say that this is "Eva's Playroom", I really mean her designated corners.
Many of these items were collected over time or given as gifts including her teepee, which has to be one of her favourite toys. Not only does she love to read in it, but play hide-and-go-seek as she carefully closes each velcro strap before ripping it open again to yell "boo"!
Along with Eva's reading corner, we created a mini-kitchen area for imaginary play and crafting. Complete with the IKEA toy kitchen, table and chair set, various fruit and veggie sets and a growing collection of play foods, the final touch to Eva's kitchen was to frame and hang her own artwork.

I love your kitchen and dining table, Eva !
Clever way of stabilizing the bottom of the teepee, which I find is the biggest problem with them.
I had to comment on this - our daughter is also called Eva, also two years of age and her favourite play things are her teepee (which was my very first sewing project, as a gift for her second birthday) and her play kitchen. Living in Hong Kong in a small apartment, we have done pretty much the same: the teepee is cute and sufficiently unobtrusive that it can be up in our living room (actually, I love reading books in it too :-)) and her kitchen used to be in another corner of our LR. We have recently moved it to her own bedroom in exchange for a small arts & crafts table but could see it moving back into the LR as it gets played with less in her bedroom, it seems, and it never bothered me as it's super cute - a wooden toaster, anyone?
Anyhow, yeay for living with toddlers in small apartments and making it all work!!
I love this! I have a teepee tucked away for when my boys get bigger (they are one now).
As for sharing the space, maybe I will feel differently when they are older, but I couldn't imagine having a separate playroom, their stuff is in the living room, where the whole family hangs out together. It's the nicest, sunniest room in the house and a great place for us all to be together. Sure there are toys/mess around but it's life.
Anyone know where I can get a teepee like this or directions to make one? My four year old would LOVE it. Thanks.
Oh, it's perfect! The tee pee is wonderful. I'm glad you made a play area for her in your townhouse. What a wonderful spot for Eva!
LOVE. Teepee is so cute. I'd love to make one and have some directions. I love shared living room spaces. I feel like it's nice for the family to all be together and keeps kids things more tidy because of that.
I've seen this bookcase before....where is it from?
Love the cloud pillow? Did you buy or make it, and if you bought it, where?
Thank you for all of those how wrote such lovely comments :)
@ALAINNOTEBOOK our bookcase was bought from an Australia boutique, which recently closed down. I'm sure there are other stores that have similar ones. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!
@DLU I bought the pillow case from an etsy store called: Robin and Mould http://www.etsy.com/shop/robinandmould
@zilla-mama and @alainnotebook you can find a teepee pattern/instructions in Meg McElwee's book "Growing up Sew Liberated".
Amber- great spaces! I'm going to save this link for inspiration while setting up my preschool. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!

SPOKANE-- Several construction projects planned this year are on main thorough fares throughout the City of Spokane. There's no doubt that this work will cause congestion and slower commutes for local drivers.
There are a number of projects in the works. City crews will begin the rehabilitation of 29th avenue from High Drive to Grand Boulevard next month.
Construction on a Spokane's South Hill should last through early September.
A new traffic signal will be installed at the intersection of grand boulevard and 37th avenue. This project will get underway in mid-July and be finished by late august.
Local business owners say it's all about safety and they're glad something is being done...
Alone Francis Avenue in north Spokane work is already underway. From Freya to Havana traffic has been reduced to one lane in each direction. When complete, this portion will have five lanes, including a continuous turn lane, sidewalks, bike lane, and a planting strip. This project is scheduled to be done by mid-July.
There's nearly 50 road construction projects planned this season. For a complete list and to find suggested alternate routes around construction click here.

UNDATED (WTVB) - Do you feel stressed out at work? Could be, but unless you serve in the military, it could be worse. Military service is the most stressful career in America according to CareerCast.com. Enlisted personnel ranks number one on the list, while a General, with the added stress of being responsible for other's lives comes in at number two.
The career website's Jobs Rated stress score takes into account physical demand, danger, travel and working in the public eye along with more common factors like salary and job security. Firefighters are third on the list followed by commercial airline pilot. The website says the tough competition and constantly having to act quickly under pressure puts the job of Public Relations Manager at the fifth spot on the stress list.

Video made by Burnout2b. This is a french video made on TrackMania United. Best of Drift 2007 is a video regrouping the best drifts and trciks on the TMU Drift servers. It is the Coast environment, the only which permits drifting. All replays were made online on servers (except ending presentation). And the pilots weren't informed they would be in a video! You can see, in the order of the video: - Best images of duo/trio (2 or 3 players drift races) - Longest drifts - Best near misses - Best lines - Best overtakes - Best jumps - Best avoids - Best rear drifts - Best donuts & tricks - Best crashes - Bonus: Monster night - Ending presentation Soundtrack (in the order of the video): Evanescence - Tourniquet (intro) Hoobastank - Crawling in the dark Guano Apes - Open your eyes Sum 41 - Over my head Donots - Saccharine smile Ash - Orpheus Initial D - The final countdown (ending presentation) This is definitely one of the best TM videos of 2007.

"OutKast May Reunite At Coachella 2014" we said. 'Yes, we probably are,' they said, by way of this awesome photo of Big Boi and André 3000 taken this past weekend in their hometown of Atlanta.
Still no announcements, and word is that any musical reunion is still months away, but this gives us hope. Hope for the future, hope for our times, hope for the children.
"Just leaving the old Stewart Ave…" Big Boi posted on his Instagram, adding: "#unfuckwittable." Truly.

DUI and crash bring jail timeApril 06,2013DUI and crash
bring prison time
BENNINGTON A Pownal man will serve eight days in jail after pleading guilty Friday to drunken driving and leaving the scene of a crash in separate October incidents.
Jeremy M. Wilson, 34, pleaded guilty in Bennington criminal court to a felony DUI count and a misdemeanor count of leaving the scene of a crash which caused property damage.
The state dismissed three other pending felony counts of driving under the influence of alcohol.
Wilson was arraigned on two felony counts of drunk driving Oct. 29 and two more felony counts of the same charge, plus the misdemeanor count of leaving the scene of an accident, Oct. 31.
Police said in the first case Wilson was legally inebriated when he was stopped on Route 7 in Pownal on Oct. 13.
In the second case, police said Wilson fled from a crash near a horse farm on Middle Pownal Road on Oct. 21. He was found hiding in a horse pasture, police said.
A breath test indicated Wilsons blood-alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit for driving, police said.
Wilson was sentenced Friday to serve one to two years in prison, but all of it was suspended except for eight days.MORE IN This Just InA Rutland judge has denied Christopher Sullivan's motion to exclude an expert's testimony from...

Review: Mighty Switch Force 2 may be over soon, but it's a great ride while it lasts
The original Mighty Switch Force is one of those short but sweet experiences that's really easy to care about. The combination of puzzle and platforming gameplay mixed together quite well within a delightfully cutesy package to create a wonderful little Nintendo download. While you could argue that the IP is a great one-off endeavor that doesn't exactly beg for a sequel, that's... Read More

I like to crochet and take pictures. At this point in my life I have baby on the brain and seem to be drawn to anything baby related!
I started crocheting in college on a whim when I saw a kit at walmart. I didn't realize that I already knew how to make the chains because my grandfather stored his extension cords by chaining them so they wouldn't tangle.

Servings: 1 (4-inch) log
Prep Time: 15 min
Difficulty: Easy
2 (10-ounce) flounder fillets
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
Uncle Bubba's Crab Cake Mix, recipe follows
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Cooking spray
1 (1-inch) slice Crab Butter, recipe follows
Fresh parsley, for garnish
Crab Cake Mix:
Recipe courtesy Uncle Bubba
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
3 green onions, green tops, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 small green pepper, finely chopped
1 egg
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 1/2 tablespoons spicy mustard
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
10 saltine crackers, crumbled medium to fine
1/2 pound lump crabmeat, picked clean of shells
1/2 pound claw crabmeat, picked clean of shells
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Crab Butter:
2 ounces claw crabmeat, picked clean of shells
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon seafood base
1 green onion, thinly sliced
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Sprinkle flounder with salt and pepper. Using a fillet knife, carefully open the flounder by cutting along the left and right sides of the seam down the middle of the fish to make pockets. Lay the cut sides back.
Stuff the flounder with the Crab Cake Mix, and press the sides down to cover the filling. Sprinkle with paprika.
Coat a glass baking dish with cooking spray. Place the fish in the dish and bake for 20 minutes. Without removing the dish from the oven, turn the oven to broil and broil for 5 additional minutes. When the fish is done, remove it from the oven. Slice a medallion of crab butter and place it on top of the grilled fish. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for added color.
Crab Cake Mix:
In a medium skillet, melt the butter and saute the onions, garlic, parsley and peppers until soft. Let cool.
In a mixing bowl, combine the egg, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, heavy cream, mustard, lemon juice and mayonnaise together. Gently mix in the saltine crackers and crabmeat. Add salt and pepper, if needed. Set aside to stuff in flounder.
Yield: 24 ounces
Crab Butter:
Fold the crab, butter, seafood base, and onions together in a medium bowl and mix until smooth. Remove from the bowl and shape into a log on a piece of parchment paper. Roll up and place in the freezer. Reserve for flounder.
I'm a transplanted Texas gal but thanks to Paula and sons for making my holiday meals a smash hit for the last five years. Yesterday I did the roasted root veggies and the squash dressing and her fabulous chocolate bourbon pecan pie and all I can say is wow and that we loved everything. Too bad we aren't neighbors so I could have learned this stuff years ago. Keep on cooking and teaching us what's great!!!!
By Kay Gray on November 29, 2013
There are no bases in this recipe. The only "base" is the butter which is :
Crab Butter: 2 ounces claw crabmeat, picked clean of shells 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened 1 tablespoon seafood base 1 green onion, thinly sliced
By Anonymous on March 21, 2013
This recipe was a hit with my family. I made it this past weekend, and I was very successful. One thing that I can't get is the seafood base. There is a company that makes bases and they are sold in some grocery stores in my area, but they don't have the seafood. They have fish, lobster and clam bases. My questions is 1. does it matter which base I use or 2. is there a substitute?
By Corrida on March 19, 2013
Hey Mary Ann! Seafood base is a paste made from concentrated seafood stock. You will find it in the same section of bullion cubes in your grocery store.
By Libbie Summers, Senior Food Editor for Paula Deen on July 04, 2011
In your Recipe Crab Stuffed Flounder you mention "seafood base". What is this? Thank you. Mary Ann
By mary Ann McKinney on June 21, 2011
Paula,my husband and I winter in Alabama and dearly love all the fresh seafood that abounds to make such wonderful dishes,as the stuffed flounder. It was fantastic! I have one question. The recipe called for flounder fillets with the skin on the bottom. Do these fillets come boned or will they always have the bones still in the fillet? I love to cook and try new recipes. Having been born and raised in Mississippi, it's wonderful to be back in LA(Lower Alabama) for the winter,as we now live in Illinois. Thanks for sharing your great recipes on TV! Joy

If you engage in backpacking, at some point, you may consider packing a lighter load. That consideration was the main reason that Backpacking Lightweight was created in 1996, and it continues to be its primary focus. Since then, however, the Lightweight Backpacking & Hiking website has grown to include a vast repository of resources useful for year-round backcountry safety & enjoyment. While it is true that Backpacking Lightweight promotes ultralight backpacking & hiking, featuring lightweight backpacking equipment, it is a also a proven resource - for all backcountry travelers - for researching and purchasing quality outdoor gear!! We welcome you, and we hope you will enjoy traversing the Lightweight Backpacking & Hiking website.
Carry it ready to go on your hip in a holster - mine is from the UDAP company. It points forward so it can even be fired from the hip without taking it out. I like shotguns but the rangers in National Parks aren't keen on them and they're too heavy. Save the Mossberg for turkey season.
I believe that black bears anywhere are not much of a threat. I've had two encounters with them while hiking here in Colorado, including surprising a sow and cub, and in both instances the bears simply moved on, unconcerned about me. I have also come home to find one bear destroying my gas grill (I live in the mountains) which ran away when I yelled at it.
That said, black bears in the Sierras, especially Yosemite and Mt. Whitney National parks, are an entirely different story. They are completely habituated to humans and human food and show no fear whatsoever of us. I think it's foolish to camp in the backcountry of these areas without carrying pepper spray.

Intro and General Considerations:
You have kids, and now your hiking and backpacking life is over, correct? Wrong. While some people decide that taking kids out into the backcountry is going to be too much work, there are many of us that have had wonderful family times with a little altering of how we did it "BC". (before children)

A nor'easter that delivered heavy snow, wind, and coastal flooding to New England Thursday night also brought an unusual scattering of snowfall amounts across western Massachusetts.
Towns in eastern Hampden County, including Wilbraham, Palmer, Monson and Brimfield, woke up Friday morning to nearly a foot of snow.
The National Weather Service received official snowfall reports of about 8 inches in Ludlow and Monson. A variety of phone calls and postings through social media had higher amounts for eastern Hampden County, such as 13 inches from a viewer in Wales.
Meanwhile, a drastic cutoff occurred in the snowfall totals for the downtown Springfield and Northampton areas. Much of the Interstate 91 corridor simply reported wet roadways and no major problems for the Friday morning commute. The National Weather Service only reported 2 inches for both Northampton and Greenfield, with similar minor accumulations in Westfield and West Springfield.
The unusual range of snowfall totals was courtesy of an unusual storm setup. A low pressure center sat hundreds of miles out at sea on Thursday, and would normally be considered too far away for a typical nor'easter. However, an upper-level disturbance from the Great Lakes region managed to pull the moisture back onto shore and created snow bands of varying intensity and location in the process.
Throughout the night, many of the heavy snow bands made it past Worcester and into the eastern towns of Hampden and Hampshire County. From there they quickly died out upon approaching the Connecticut River.
The snow picked back up again for the eastern slopes of the Berkshires, with the towns of Chester and Huntington both reporting 7 inches of snow according to the National Weather Service.
Widespread parts of eastern Massachusetts, including the Mass Pike from Worcester to Boston and the Interstate 95 corridor southwest of Boston, received between 12 and 18 inches of snow. The immediate coastline is dealing with coastal flood problems and high winds as well.
Snow showers are expected to slowly end in western Massachusetts on Friday afternoon, with sunshine and mild weather returning for Saturday.

Of course, this comparison is between two extremes and it would be nice to know how the rest of the world between the ages of 30-64 viewed these things right?
The next chart seems a little more telling in that when you look at the population as a whole regarding the importance of a mobile device. It is high but it's far from the top of the list.
What I would like to know is how these studies would look if there were an economic factor introduced. How many Millennials who value their phones are of a higher economic status v. those who may not have the ways and means to buy the phone and pay for the monthly service?
Will the mobile movement serve to further drive a wedge between the haves and the have-nots? I don't see this as some great philosophical debate because there will always be this divide no matter how hard some push for everyone to be the same (do you REALLY want that anyway?). This is a simple economic question that marketers will need to attend to as we move rapidly into a more mobile age of the Internet.
Could it be that one the most important demographics regarding ability to buy a product in the future could be someone's sheer ability to afford the mobile Internet experience? Sounds harsh but statistics can be that way.
So where does your mobile device fall in your pecking order of "can't live withouts"? Would you survive if you just had a cell phone (you know, the kind that just allow for phone calls)? Is your mobile device your lifeline or a ball and chain?
Let us know. Oh and if you are brave enough to tell us your true age that would help but we don't expect much on that front ;-).

Now it's just a mouthpiece used by the left to slime and marginalize any conservative group as "racist."
The idea that we pay too much in taxes, don't want Medicare messed with, and don't buy the Administration's bs that we're going to add 30 million people to the health care rolls and reduce costs, are hardly "radical." But thanks for exposing the SPLC, again, for the radical left group it's become.

Injuries are a major source of childhood emergency department and hospital admissions. The most recent accident statistics from the National Safety Council, the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, and other sources tell us that:
Injury is the leading cause of death in children and young adults. According to the CDC, approximately 12,000 children and young adults, ages 1 to 19 years, die from unintentional injuries each year.
Falls are the leading cause of nonfatal injury for children. Children ages 19 and under account for about 8,000 fall-related visits to hospital emergency rooms every day.
Each year about 100 children are killed and 254,000 are injured as a result of bicycle-related accidents.
Drowning is the leading cause of unintentional injury-related death among children ages 1 to 4. The majority of drownings and near-drownings occur in residential swimming pools and in open water sites. However, children can drown in as little as one inch of water.
Airway obstruction injury (suffocation) is the leading cause of unintentional injury-related death among infants under age 1.
Each year, about 2,000 children ages 14 and under die as a result of a home injury. Unintentional home injury deaths to children are caused primarily by fire and burns, suffocation, drowning, firearms, falls, choking, and poisoning.

"We're thinking they're growing at about a 6 percent rate. We think that's conservative," Plunkett said. "The best indicator is they continue to expand into new markets. They're expanding into Utah. They've recently expanded into Texas. They wouldn't do that if the formula didn't work."
A big part of that success, he added, can be attributed to Trader Joe's-branded food. More than 80 percent of what the grocer sells is specialty foods, from Trader Joe's Honey Nut O's Cereal to Trader Joe's Garbanzo Beans and Trader Joe's Chicken Mole with White Rice.

The company won't say which wholesalers provide products, but it prides itself in getting goods from around the world.
"[Trader Joe's] is big but not so big that it can't be supported by medium-sized suppliers. They can go to a supplier and say, 'Can you give me 80,000 cases of this product?' Whereas Safeway may have to ask for a million cases. It does give them more flexibility," Plunkett said. "Retailers love selling private merchandise, and many successful concepts try to do that to an extent. They get to control the retail price."
More importantly, a private label also creates more customer loyalty. So much so that there are Trader Joe's fan pages on Facebook. One was created specifically for Utahns' craving for the first store in the Beehive State.
Therapist Sheets will travel more than 45 minutes from her home in Clinton to stand in line about an hour before the new Salt Lake City Trader Joe's opens. At last, she said, she won't have to travel to stores in Arizona or her native Southern California to get dried mangos or pineapple, or the saffron she says is "uber-cheap."
"It's like a rite of passage of some sort to get a Trader Joe's here. I know it's just a grocery store, but it makes us [Utahns] feel like we're not so excluded," she said. "It's like when we got an In-N-Out Burger — anytime I can get a taste of home it makes Utah seem a little less weird."

#2 Prospect Winter 2008: Jordan Eberle
Current Rank: #2
Summer 2008 Rank: #2
Jordan Eberle is the #2 prospect in the Oilers organization because his one dominant skill is as precious as gold.
Scoring goals.
Let's start at the beginning, which for our purposes was leading up to Eberle's draft day summer 2008. Bob McKenzie in his TSN Top 30 (which is now the industry standard) told us he was "a somewhat under-sized centre and is considered one of the smartest offensive players in the draft. He is a better goal-scorer than a playmaker and is an elusive talent when he has the puck. There are some questions about his speed, but he does have quickness, especially in tight situations and one-on-ones."
I've also read he can mail it in from time to time but the skills are there and if you're an Oiler fan the idea of an actual sniper on the horizon is just what the doctor ordered.
A year ago in the WHL, Eberle popped 42 goals in 70 GP in a league that averaged 5.72 goals-per-game. As a comparison, the OHL (6.89) and the QMJHL (6.84) averaged a goal per game more, meaning Eberle's 42 goals would have been north of 50 in the OHL given the same conditions.
After being drafted by the Oilers he came to camp and impressed with his puck skills. Not Sam Gagner impressive, but enough for the fanbase to buzz and that's about all an NHL team can hope for in their top pick (unless it's a lottery pick) in the months after the draft. It's better than having the kid come in and fall flat and that's happened a few times over the years.
This fall, Eberle has been streaky (29gp, 19-17-36) but has increased his points-per-game total season over season (1.07 a year ago, tracking at 1.24 this season) in a league that is even more defensive (4.78 goals per game) in 08-09.
Michael Remmerde is a scout and Contributing Editor for Red Line Report. Remmerde says of Eberle that there is good ("great sniper's touch. Knows how to find scoring chances. Quick hands. Will take a hit to make a play") and some things that are a concern ("casual player – effort level is never there. Tends to stick to the perimeter").
Eberle's size (mentioned in the McKenzie item above) and foot speed are going to be issues, but with those scoring skills he's going to get every chance to find the range in the show when he's ready. Eberle was impressive in the recent ADT Challenge this past week and there are conflicting reports about the potential for him to be named to the Canadian team for the WJC's at Christmastime. Jim Matheson in the Edmonton Journal suggested it was a long shot but most other comments I've read have Eberle solidly in the mix.
Either way, if he stays healthy and doesn't miss too much time (World Junior, etc) there's a distinct possibility Eberle could top 50 goals in junior at age 18. Here's a list of some of the Oilers draft picks and their goal totals as 18 year olds in junior:
- Ralph Intranuovo (50)
- Jason Arnott (41)
- Ryan Smyth (41)
- Rob Schremp (41)
- Jarret Stoll (40)
- Michael Henrich (38)
- Liam Reddox (36)
- Tyler Wright (36)
- Jason Chimera (34)
- Kirk Maltby (34)
- Peter Sarno (33)
- Kyle Brodziak (32)
- Steve Kelly (31)
- Matthew Lombardi (28)
- Slava Trukhno (28)
- Boyd Devereaux (28)
- Ales Hemsky (27)
- Jason Bonsignore (27)
- Marc Pouliot (25)
- Zack Stortini (21)
- JF Jacques (20)
Intranuovo was the last Oiler draft pick to score 50 goals in his 18-year old season and he did it 17 years ago. Eberle could hit that number this season and at the very least he should join the 40-goal club. Eberle's gift is very rare and he seems to have enough of it to be a very good bet to deliver in the NHL as a scorer.

Beautiful but desolate, NUWEIBA is another resort on the Gulf of Aqaba, consisting of a port with nearby tourist complexes, followed 4km up the coast by Nuweiba "City", an administrative and commercial centre grafted on to a former Israeli moshav (cooperative village). During the late 1970s, thousands of Israeli and Western backpackers flocked here to party and sleep on the beach, but today tourism is at a virtual standstill. The beach is beautiful, but – with the exception of a few patches of privately owned sand – covered with rubbish. For most travellers, Nuweiba now serves primarily as a stepping stone for onward travel by bus to Eilat in Israel or by boat to Aqaba in Jordan.
Around 500m north of Nuweiba City is the neighbouring Bedouin settlement of TARABEEN, named after a local Bedouin tribe and attracting younger travellers.
Diving, snorkelling and safaris in Nuweiba
Diving, snorkelling and safaris in Nuweiba
Diving in Nuweiba is mostly from the shore thanks to a lack of jetties and safe anchorages. There are several shallow reefs offshore, the best of which is the Stone House, beyond the southern promontory. Though fine for snorkelling, they're not so great for diving unless you're a novice, so the divers that come here usually travel to Ras Abu Galum or sites north of Nuweiba. These trips can be arranged by any of Nuweiba's dive centres, including Emperor Divers at Hilton Nuweiba Coral Resort (t 069 352 0320, w emperordivers.com) and Scuba Divers at La Sirene (t 069 350 0705, w scuba-divers.de).
There are also a wide range of camel and jeep safaris. The nearest destinations are the oasis of Ain el-Furtaga and the colourful sandstone canyon of Wadi Huweiyit. Slightly further north lies Moyat el-Wishwashi, a large rainwater catchment cistern hidden in a canyon between imposing boulders.
One of the most popular jeep excursions is to the Coloured Canyon; the name comes from the vivid striations on the steep walls of the canyon, which is sheltered from the wind and eerily silent. Other destinations include Wadi Ghazala, with its dunes and acacia groves where gazelles may be spotted; Ain Um Ahmed, whose deep torrent, fed by snow on the highest peaks of the Sinai, shrinks to a stream as the seasons advance; the oasis of Ain Khudra, supposedly the Biblical Hazeroth, where Miriam was stricken with leprosy for criticizing Moses; and the beautiful – and relatively untouristed – Rainbow Canyon.
Recommended guides include Morad el Said at Amon-Yahro Tourist Camp, an English- and German-speaking Egyptologist. If you fancy learning to ride a camel, the Habiba camp, next to the Amon-Yahro Tourist Camp has its own school (w sinai4you.com/crs).

MIT just announced that its engineers have improved the power output of one of their fuel cells, by over a startling 50%. What's even more surprising is that the new material that makes this increase in efficiency possible, is actually cheaper than conventional methods.
The research was done on united pharmacy cialis canada direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs), which utilize methanol as a fuel rather than the more commonly known hydrogen cells. Among the generic cialis 10 mg without prescription advantages of using methanol over hydrogen is that being a liquid, and not highly volatile, it is easier to store and real cialis without prescription transport, it has a high energy density, and it's easy to refuel, there is no specialized fuel station necessary, just pump (or pour) and go.
Traditional DMFCs have a membrane made of Nafion, an expensive material, and one that is also permeable to wow look it cialis india methanol, which means you waste some of your fuel without getting anything out of generic cialis forum it. So the team at MIT designed a new nanomaterial, using a technique known as layer-by-layer assembly, to create an alternative. "We were able to tune the structure of [our] film a few nanometers at a time," says one of the researchers. This new film, which is cheap viagra on line cheaper to produce, is also 2 orders of magnitude less permeable to methanol, thus conserving fuel and greatly improving power output.
This advance could play a big role in portable electronics (such as the LG latop pictured). We recently saw that DMFCs are already on the market, and coming soon for cameras, though they are a bit bulky, but this new technology could halve the size of the units, making them more attractive for compact portable electronics.
The researchers are now looking at seeing whether their membrane could be used in improving the efficiency of photovoltaics. We certainly hope so.
