We love these cookies! We try all types of combinations for the filling and what we roll it in (not everyone loves nuts) and it's always good.
Very good and tasty. Actually perfect and I will make these again for sure...BUT there is NO way this makes 5 dozen. It makes about 40-44 cookies at the most. Even small ones.
Same recipe I've used for years
I've been using this recipe for more than 30 years. The best cookie ever, hands down. Nearly my whole family has asked for the recipe!
I've made these cookies for the last 20 years, never get tired of it. I made it part of our holiday tradition! we can't get enough of it, we just have to make more!
I've made this recipe every year for at least 13 years. It is the most tender and delicious thumbprint cookie I've ever eaten.
It was very tasty because i liked how the outside was crunchy and the inside was chewy.

Nice collection - but I can tell you right now, it's not cheap.
Brand new? That sofa looks like it was designed by Billy Haines, the dresser looks like Dorothy Draper, the coffee table looks like a Paul Mccobb, the high back armchair looks like it stepped out of restoration hardware.
CG is right -
Here's that chair from CB2:
Nice-but nothing original at all-these have all been done, at all kinds of price points..
I'm doing a post about this on Monday. The line is nice, but I was especially wowed by the jewel-toned fabrics in the showroom. They were gorgeous. I was exhausted after a long day at Neocon, but when I saw this showroom, it perked me up like an espresso.
When design takes priority, the result is often strange closets.

A Newark Liberty International Airport worker was shot and killed during an apparent robbery in the city's downtown area, Essex County authorities said.
The body of Bruce Santos, 26, was found around 10 p.m. Tuesday by a passerby on Broad Street, which is about six blocks from the Prudential Center arena.
Santos died from a gunshot wound, but further details were not disclosed, authorities said.
It was not immediately clear what type of work Santos did at the airport. Authorities believe he was on his way home from work when he apparently was confronted by a robber.

Holidaymakers looking for an affordable vacation on an island paradise will find the East side of the Dominican Republic a perfect solution. This part of the island offers relaxation and fun where the Atlantic meets the Caribbean. Here visitors will find numerous different places to stay including self catering accommodation, villas, apartments and chalets.
The east coast of the Dominican Republic has some wonderful powdery white beaches ideal for relaxing on and soaking up the sun. Apart from swimming in the crystal clear blue sea visitors can also take part in a range of water sports such as windsurfing and kitesurfing.
There is plenty on offer here for sports enthusiasts including mountain biking, diving and canyoning as well as golf with several excellent courses located on the island. Excursions can be booked whilst staying here with shallow and deep sea fishing for snapper and groupers amongst other fish species one of the most popular trips on offer. Other boat trips enable visitors to relax, bathe and watch whales.
There are a number of shops selling locally made gifts and souvenirs including arts and crafts, clothing, jewellery and perhaps most popular of all are the cigars, coffee and rum. For self catering holidaymakers there are supermarkets selling food and beverages. Numerous restaurants can be found serving local and international cuisine as well as bars and casinos.
There are a few interesting places to visit in the east of the island. For example, in Punta Cana there is a theme park filled with beautiful gardens and visitors have the chance to swim with dolphins. Visitors can also take a trip to the north where El Choco National Park features wonderful flora, birds and bats. Damajaqua Cascades features no less than 27 waterfalls and is a fantastic sight.
A trip to the south will enable visitors to take a motor boat to the beautiful Saona Island. Alternatively for a touch of history and culture there is the site of a recreated 16th-century Mediterranean village, with amphitheatre at Altos de Chavón.
The temperature in the Dominican Republic is fairly consistent throughout the year. The average is around 25 degrees centigrade, but it rarely falls below 20C. The rainy season is between May and November, when showers tend to be heavy but short, with the sunshine soon returning. February and March are usually the driest months of the year.
Punta Cana International Airport is located on the east side of the Dominican Republic and has many airlines flying to and from here. Flights arrive from many European cities such as Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Moscow and Paris amongst others. Cities in North America and South America also have flights to Punta Cana. From the airport visitors can get a taxi to their destination or there are several car rental companies located here too.

Companies unable to force staff to sign financial-receipt documents
Employers in the UAE cannot force workers to sign documents stating they received all financial dues.
The Ministry of Labour is taking a lead in this matter and says that authorities will not issue new work permits to companies if such complaints are raised.
The government is also planning to disallow such firms to open new facilities, local media reports suggest. The step has been necessitated to protect the rights of workers. Pertinently employees have been asked to file complaints about employers who force them to sign on financial-receipt documents.
The complaints can be made within a year of the documents being signed. After studying each case and taking note of the employers' version, appropriate legal action will be initiated against the firm, only if an amicable settlement is not found.

I Got Busted Spanking in Suburbia
Attention white people, we spank our kids. And I'm not going to be ashamed of it anymore.
Kimberly Seals Allers: My parents spanked me. In fact, spanking is really your term, not ours--We got beatings. Straight up. And before you call the local child welfare bureau, let me explain.
My Mom and Dad beat with love. They'd sit you down and explain why you were going to get it, how much it hurt them more than it hurt you and then one of them would give it to you. Afterward, my mom would hug you, tell you that she loved you and leave you there to whimper and sniff yourself to sleep.
It was discipline with love, not child abuse. A few years ago when Jamie Foxx, while accepting a groundbreaking Oscar, thanked him grandmother for beating him and keeping him straight, white folks went crazy. But black people completely understood. We know how our mamas, grandmamas, and aunties beat us with love -- and then sent us outside to walk it off!
Until recently, I've never had to spank my children. But I've never ruled it out of my parenting playbook. The Bible says, 'spare the rod and spoil the child,' and I never claim to be wiser than Him.
Up until recently, I've only used the belt as a "memory enhancer." For example, sometimes at night they forget they were told to be quiet, go to sleep and stop talking, playing, or asking for a drink of water. At this point, I simply take out the belt, drape it over their doorknob and magically they remember what they were told to do. Amazing!
However, a few months ago, I spanked my daughter for the first time. Not a beating like I got, but about three "licks" because she had (very, very surprisingly) done something that really crossed the line. And I really needed her to get the point that this was beyond unacceptable.
I did exactly as my mother had done, lovingly explaining to her while holding her in my arms why she about to get it.
I took a deep breath.
I didn't think I could, but now I had to keep my word, at least for one lick.
My daughter, being a tween dramatic expert, started screaming as if she was getting a real beating, like I used to get. The noise began well before contact was ever even made. Even then, I only gave her one spank.
It never dawned on me that the bedroom window was half open.
Apparently, a neighbor heard her Oscar-worthy performance. Oy vay! And not even a real neighbor, but the not too respectable live-in boyfriend of my actual neighbor (you know the kind that is never seen without a beer in hand) Apparently, he told another neighbor that I beat my kids and he was watching me.
Thankfully everyone on my block sees me bike riding with my kids, skateboarding with my kids, pulling them in a wagon for nightly summertime strolls, and otherwise actively engaged with my children and knew not to pay the beer guy any mind. But it really bothered me!
The funny part is that when I told my black girlfriends, who also live in white suburbia, what happened, their first response was, "Girl, you should know to close the windows and turn the TV or radio on! What were you thinking?"
Apparently, I had broke the "how to spank your kids around white people rules" and didn't even know it. Why didn't I get the memo?
Which made me think, why do we hide that we spank with love from the world? I'm not talking about spanking with anger or any abuse. But I am talking about old-fashioned values and respect and a good tap of the "memory box" when all else fails. Somehow the good of a well-deserved beating got tossed in with the bad, and then all beatings became a dirty word. A sinful parenting act. And I just don't agree.
Our parents weren't perfect, but I will tell you this: I was respectful and obedient, I knew I would have to work hard to get over on my parents, and whenever I thought of acting a fool (from misbehaving at school, underage drinking or sneaking out as a teen) -- the fear of my Mom or Dad getting me good was a powerful motivator to keep me straight! Plus, I had a healthy respect of all authority figures, which has served me well in life.
There's something to be said for that.
In fact, when black people hear white kids rudely talk back to their parents, cursing at their parents or otherwise being disrespectful, we just can't believe it. We think something is wrong with y'all for tolerating that from your kids. (Yes, I said it)
As a new generation of black parents, I see my fellow modern mamas trying to blend a little of the old school with new school ideas of more communication, greater expression, and even a little negotiation (I said a little).
But I don't want to hide that discipline and respect are important to me. And if other means aren't working, I'm definitely willing to lovingly go there. I will however, always close the window.

Im white and I spank my little girl when she does something that crosses the line I dont know why you are trying to make this a race thing and I got beatings when I was little too. Just bc the "white" people you live around acts like that doesnt mean you should pass judgement on the rest of us.You dont want judgement passed on you.We are suppose to be the human race and not judged by the color of our skin.my child is respectful and get punished for what she does wrong whether that be a spanking,timeout,etc…. Maybe you are not doing thing right either there hunny bc your child screamed so bad that the neibors thought you were beating your child and you talk about white people children talking back to them.WTF? Racism is wrong period and if you are teaching your child this you are not a good mother.I guess ignorance is bliss
Just another example of suburban bourgoise attitude of 'my way is the right way.' I'm more annoyed with the "I'm a great mom with my spanking and nightly wagon rides and you're not" attitude than with the spanking (sorry, beating) itself.
Ridiculous. To make this racial is just awful. If "spanking" is such a great idea, then the groups who do it, irrespective of race, would have, in general, better-behaved children, fewer in jail, fewer commiting crimes, etc. Is this the case? Obviously not. Hitting children is a huge part of the problem because it degrades and dehumanizes and thus leads to, in fact, more crime and more famiial and social dysfunction. This is by now obvious and well documented. No reputable scholar or psychologist would endorse the self-hating and self-destructive points of view articulated in this ridiculous column.
There is nothing wrong with spanking. I was spanked as a child, and I can tell you from experience that I RESPECTED my parents, I did not FEAR them. And I still do respect my parents. I am 23 years old and do not cuss in front of my Momma. I have a three year old son who I spank when I think he needs it. He also gets punishments like standing in the corner, and I believe that the punishment should always fit the crime if possible. When my baby colors on the walls, he gets a rag to wash the walls. Or to at least try to help wash them. I just think it's ridiculous how many "holier than thou" parents there are out there who think that spanking is evil. Grow up.
By the way, I'm white, but my son is biracial, black and white. If that matters to anyone.
Sara, you obviously didn't READ the article. She said she spanked her daughter with ONE hite & her daughter PERFORMED (as in acted a fool, yelling for no reason as if she was being hit much harder than she was, I hope you know kids do that to make parents feel bad, kid psychology).
I agree with the article (and thank you for saying you're not smarter than HIM, GOD. Yes, I will say it too…when other races allow their kids to disrespect them and act a fool, I want to snatch them and YOU for allowing them), then you wonder why your kids run all over you!
If Black people don't spank their kids, white people blame them when their kids turn out so bad. Damned if you do, damned if you don't!
You'd better believe I spank my children. I am married and have boys and they do try me as the softie….not happening. Dad is the cool one & MOM is the one they step back from with the nonsense and ONLY because I will put out the belt. Women do not get the same respect as the dads because we're not as tall, big, or loud so I use the belt…it evens the playing field and the boys come correct with respect.
At 12 they're already taller than me & I'm not struggling with any of them, so they know I am not to be played with!
These white kids that don't get beat are going to end up going to school with kids from other races. When all his black, asian, or latino friends are talking about the *ss-whooping they got, he is going to feel so left out. White people, beat your kids, so they don't become a social outcast.
Hey when my kids act up their clothes and underwear come off and the belt comes out. Yes, they get naked whippings just like I got when I was little. Believe me it works and they behave.
I'm very surprised to see this framed as a racial issue.
(FYI, I'm white and pro-spanking — as long as it's done judiciously, in love, as you said, and not out of anger. The formula is: lots of love and attention, with appropriate discipline when needed… and yes, sometimes, with some kids, a swat on the bottom is the most appropriate discipline in certain situations.)
I get irritated when I see liberal white parents pleading with their out-of-control brats. "Pleeease, Montana, please don't throw that at Mommy… Mommy *might* have to give you a time-out if you don't stop after I ask you nicely another 11 times…."
But the other extreme is just as wrong. I've seen parents dragging their tired and frustrated children through Walmart threatening to "tear them up" or "whoop their a$$" for some minor offense. That breaks my heart and certainly isn't the kind of loving discipline I received as a child.
I pity the children of both extremes, both of whom will grow up with severe problems. Those of us who practice spanking the "right" way are becoming a dying breed.
~ a white suburban spanker
Im black and I am not going to whip my kids I think it is wrong and stupid to whip/beat your children and that whole" it hurts me more than it hurts you " thing is a load of crap and I am tire of hearing it
you know i've never really seen the point of spanking/whipping your kids It is ineffective and I do not buy it when people say" I beat them for their own good" or "I beat them out of love" that is also a load of crap
WHite, middle-class, suburban reared and spanked as a kid—in just the way you describe—talk first, hug after "hurts me more than you, blah-blah blah. Belt. I associate it with Southerness, as my folks are from Arkansas. I think a lot of Black/white assumptions are really also very much regional and class issues. But I digress. Now I'm raising Black children and I don't spank. But I don't take disrespect and back-talk either. I have exceptionally well-behaved kids, in fact, something I am often told by strangers in public places—restaurants and airplanes, to name a couple. But I do not want them to behave well because they fear that I will hit them if they don't. So I use alternatives. And they DO work. If you say "I'm counting to 3 and then you will have a consequence" and never, ever, ever get past "two and a half…" like many parent I know, sure, your kids will run all over you. But get to three and give them that consequence once or twice and they'll remember it. Works like the belt on the doorknob but less harrowing.
With all due respect, I think that this article is a prime example of reverse racism. Yes, I'm white…now that that's out of the way, I don't understand why the most commonplace of issues have to take on the race factor. With a background in Psychology, I can tell you that the spanking debate is a hot-button issue no matter what color your skin is. The majority of psychological experts today would say that spanking does more harm than good to children, but I have to disagree. I truly believe that I turned out better as an adult in part because my parents spanked me as a child. It's not so much the act of spanking per say, but rather the parenting style that comes along with it. My parents taught me to be respectful, and ingrained in me right from wrong beginning at an early age. I rarely got into trouble even as a teenager because I knew that I would have consequences to face if I did. I firmly believe that if more parents (no matter what race) raised their kids in this manner, our society as a whole would be better off. Bottom line? It's not a race issue; rather, it's an issue of "old-fashioned" values versus modern politically-correct child rearing. Everyone seems to be so afraid that their actions will upset another group of people (be it race, religion, gender, etc.), that we are moved to inaction…Which, no matter what your background, I think you can agree is detrimental to everyone involved.
Um… I'm white… I got spanked, pretty much just as you described, lovingly. This is SO not a race issue! Everyone has to watch it with the spanking now, not just black people. One of the moms that my family knows, a wonderful mom who was giving not giving a "beating" but a "spank" in love, had DEFACS called on her. She's white! It isn't a race thing, it's a culture in general thing.
"beating" and "spanking" aside - I sincerely hope you do not communicate your ignorant and racist attitude to your children. Do you assume your neighbor was shocked because he was white, or that your actions are limited to your race. You have a "us v. them" mentality that will only progress racial intolerance and cultural insensitivity. You are clearly a writer who goes for shock value rather than intelligent content, and give all writers and civil rights workers a bad name. Shame on you.
P.S. Guess my race
I hate spankings for 2 reasons.
1: It hurts
2: It interferes with children's God given to Free will. (I don't like people interefering with my free will.) Do you?
Wow. You guys are so ignorent. I know you type of mom's, you're the ones that are the leading cause of this messed up generation. You need to stop spoiling your child and actually do something.
Also, learn something about the issue before posting all that crap about "they'll grow up and be violent" Seriously? For thousands of years people have been doing that, so George Washington was a violent criminal? Because he was beat.
Thanks for creating a narsasistic and arrogent generation.
BTW I'm 11
I ran into this by mistake, but am appalled by what I have just read.
I am sickened by your scare tactics and how you treat your children. I am white and my dad threatened me with the belt and beat us with it. I have problems to this day with it. At least 50x a day (I am 40) I relive it.
God Bless you for doing what you think is right, but trust me, might does not equal right.
Children are human beings who should be given the same respect that everyone else is. You are just a cruel bully who never got any smarter than your parents were. It is time to wise up! I am sickened…just sickened…
I wish people would stop making a racial issue out of the way that children should be disciplined. I think parents know what is best for their own children. Unless, out and out abuse is occurring we all should stay out of what is a personal decision.
When I first became a mother, I didn't think I would ever end up spanking. That approach worked with our first son and our daughter. However, it didn't work with my youngest son. I tried very hard to discipline him with grounding and taking away privileges. It didn't seem to work. Than one day, he and a friend broke some windows with rocks in a vacant house for sale about a mile away. That experience was a wake up call for me. I realized we just had to do more. It was my husband who insisted that our son receive a spanking for his actions. It was a hard day for me having to watch my son get his pants pulled down and have to bend over his father's knee in his underpants. It was hard to see the tears that he cried. Yet, I felt the spanking accomplished something that grounding and loss of privileges didn't. It made our son actually feel some fear and shame over his actions. I think with some kids spanking is necessary.
Awesome blog post, thank you. Can you explain on the 2nd paragraph in a little more detail please?

Comments about Maximo Concepts Hand-Crank Emergency Flashlight:
The only way I could tell that this flashlight was actually working was to look directly at the bulbs (not normallay recommended for LEDs'). But in the case of this unit, I could barely see any light output. I tried cranking it 3 time with no improvement. Since the price I paid was not worth paying to ship it back for a refund, I just threw it in the garbage. Save yourself some money, and get the Garrity Power lite (which I have), or the Dynamo Illuminator (which got decent reviews also), that at least give you your money's worth.

In 2012, Minnesota had 2,488 crashes involving deer and an additional 230 involving other animals. According to the state patrol, eight of those crashes were fatal. "Our best defense is to expect deer, especially, at dawn and dusk in the fall and spring, said State Patrol Sgt. Jaci Sticha. "Scan the road/horizon continually, which we should be doing anyways. Being alert and scanning may buy you extra seconds, allowing you more time to slow down. This will reduce the impact if you hit the deer or allow you to avoid it safely."

NMSEA is seeking exhibitors of sustainable technologies (wind, solar, alternative building, water harvesting/purification, organic farming, alternative fuels, etc) for the Solar Village. Click here for a description of previous exhibits.
Potential exhibitors must apply in advance with the email form below. Exhibitors must be accepted prior to formal registration. Please do not send registration fees to NMSEA until your participation has been confirmed. NMSEA reserves the right to accept or reject applications to exhibit.
The following describes the rules and format of the Village. Please read first, and then submit the online application form below. We will notify applicants asap as to whether an exhibit is accepted.
The Solar Village at the Taos Solar Music Festival is an ideal place to showcase renewable energy and sustainable technology to the general public. The festival has a great line up again this year, and we expect good attendance.
Exhibitor Fees: To cover the cost of the village, a $60 fee will be assessed for each exhibit, payable to NMSEA. $10 of this fee is for the Town of Taos Parks Department exhibitor permit. Note that the ticket discounts we offer to exhibitors largely offset this fee. This fee will be reimbursed only if the village coordinator (Karlis Viceps, phone: 575-770-0225) is advised prior to June 27 that you will not be attending.
Services Supplied: With the low exhibitor fee, we are not able to supply canopies, tables, or chairs for exhibitors - exhibitors must bring their own. We will be supplying parking arrangements, processing of discount tickets, security, advertising for the Solar Village, signs and other devices to get people to visit the Village, etc. Please inform us of any special needs you have, and we will try our best to fill them if we can.
Damage Deposit: There will also be a $50 damage deposit that will be reimbursed unless there it is needed to repair damage associated with your exhibit. Please submit a separate check for the damage deposit. All checks should be made out to the New Mexico Solar Energy Association.
Entrance Fees for concertgoers: There will be no fees for the village - The Solar Village is Free to the general public! Note, however, that this means the village is not inside the festival fence: The Village is located alongside and highly visible from where concert goers will enter, and there will be information posters scattered throughout the festival area and periodic announcements to encourage people to visit the village.
Location of the Village: The village will be located in Kit Carson Park, near route 64 (the main road in front of Kit Carson Park), to the left (north side) of the main (front) entrance to the park.
When to Arrive and Where to Show Up: If at all possible, please arrive no later than noon on June 27th, and come to the main (front entrance) to Kit Carson Park. Doors open at 1 pm, and the show begins at 3 pm. There will be several people there to assist you in finding your assigned spot.
Siting: NMSEA will determine the layout prior to June 27th. You will be informed of where to set up when you arrive. Plan on carrying all of your exhibit equipment and supplies onto the grass area of the Solar Village. We are within 100 ft of the paved curb. No vehicles are allowed on the grass.
Electricity: No generators please! Any electricity used must be supplied by solar panels and/or batteries.
Tickets for Exhibitors: Solar Village exhibitors will be eligible to buy two festival tickets per day at a 50% discount. Exhibitors purchase their discount tickets at the festival ticket gate each day.
Car Passes: Each exhibitor will be issued one and only one parking pass.
Insurance: All exhibitors must carry liability insurance for exhibiting at this type of event and proof of insurance is required.
Please fill out the following form to apply to be an exhibitor at the 2008 Solar Village. All fields except "Organization's website" are required.
Once you have been notified that your exhibit is accepted, you may then send in the two registration fee checks: $60 for the Village (includes $10 for Town of Taos Parks Department exhibitor permit) and a separate $50 damage deposit, both made out to the New Mexico Solar Energy Association. Please also include a copy of your proof of liability insurance.

This highly flavorful aged hard cheese (most often used grated) has been made the same way in Italy for more than 800 years.
How to Choose Parmesan
Only cheeses from a few regions can be labeled Parmigiano-Reggiano, the authentic Italian Parmesan. Made from skimmed or partly skimmed cow's milk and usually aged for 2 years or longer, they have a nutty flavor and a distinctive granular texture. Less expensive American-made Parmesan is generally aged for as little as 10 months and tends to be saltier, moister, and less intense in flavor. Grated Parmesan that comes in a can contains preservatives and additives to keep it from caking, so grating your own is recommended. Parmesan's sharper, saltier cousin, pecorino, made from sheep's milk, can be a more affordable choice for a grating cheese.
How to Store Parmesan
Cheese contains live cultures and needs to breathe, but it also must be protected from drying out. Wrapped in wax paper, then loosely in plastic wrap, Parmesan keeps for up to 2 months in the refrigerator, 6 months in the freezer. If mold appears on the surface, simply cut it off and consume the unblemished interior.
How to Use Parmesan
One of the most versatile cooking cheeses, grated Parmesan melts easily, making it ideal for sauces and soups. Make shavings with a vegetable peeler and use them as delicious, salty toppers for a salad.

Experts Urge Further Research on Nicotine Reduction to Decrease Tobacco Addiction
Tobacco control experts are calling for additional research on reducing the nicotine content of cigarettes and other tobacco products. Nicotine reduction, they wrote in an article published online October 1 in Tobacco Control, has the potential to profoundly affect smoking rates in the United States, but many outstanding questions remain and will require a focused and collaborative research effort.

Perfect color for summer and goes with many different swimsuit bottoms. Found this top at Kierland Commons, AZ store. Brought home. Realized it was too small. Called all TB stores in Illinois. No one had it. Decided to look online and there it was. Leaving on vacation within 3-4 days so it was shipped immediately. Person I spoke with was very helpful. Never thought a person my age (60's) would be able to wear TB bathing suits. Now I tell all my friends to go to TB instead of the "old lady dept store section". Feeling young again.. Thank You.

Love Tommy Bahama swimsuits and this one is no exception. Fits great all over and feels comfortable in and out of the water. Highly recommend! Love Tommy Bahama swimsuits and this one is no exception. Fits great all over and feels comfortable in and out of the water. Highly recommend! I originally ordered a large tankini top because I have a long torso, but it was a little loose around the bust. Exchanged for a medium, which fit much better, with less shirring around the waist. The bottom also fits well and snugly, without making me feel like I am spilling out. March 29, 2014

It's tough for parents to keep up with all the faulty baby products, so often they just keep using them. Thanks to Toys 'R' Us and Babies 'R' Us, moms can take back a few items and turn them into money with the Great Trade In program. Mommies who have questioned their portable crib can get cash for that clunker and upgrade to a new one. Though it sounds like a pretty sweet deal, many parents keep their merchandise or toss them on the curb for passersby. Source: Getty Read More Recalled ToysRecallPoll What's Your Reaction?

Sometimes things are recalled for silly reasons. I don't need to return my son's bumbo seat so I can have one with a sticker on it that says not to put it on top of a table. 5 years When the Magnetics were recalled, we decided to keep them rather than trade them in, because they were recalled for loose magnets which a kid can swallow.

Andy Davidson says:
In Moto, Croydon was targeted by hammer wielding thieves on Tuesday September 4 at 5:30pm.
A gang of six youths equipped with three scooters attempted to steal two Ducati 1199's by trying to walk the machines out in broad daylight.
Unfortunately for them, the staff were not having any of it.
Paul Read immediately spotted the robbers and tackled them inside the showroom,...

For those baffled by how they thought they were going to get away, the rat scavenging technique is get them onto the road then a scooter-rat pushes each bike back to the Rat Van or Rat Lockup where their little rat-paws can get to work on it.
Great job to the staff on facing them down. Let's just hope Plod treats it seriously.

These scumbags deserve to be publically humiliated. I propose that the stocks are reinstated for this kind of crime. After all, the police, I am sure are far too busy to deal with this. And the Crown Prosecution Service will find that there is not enough evidence. The number plate is a good start for the numpty who didn't cover it up but I do wish there had been enough time for the staff to rip the helmets off of a few of them.
Ducati, take note, these guys deserve to be hailed and rewarded for prventing this crime.
In Moto, you should give these guys the praise they so richly deserve. They could so easily have had the attitude that the bikes are insured and stayed out of the way.

Very well done to the staff and the passersby for being brave and stopping this gang. As a victim of bike theft it really boils my piss when I see this.
It is just a shame the gang were not seriously hurt but "hopefully" the police will catch them soon.

Well done to the brave guys at In Moto and does anyone know of a scooter rider who now has scratches all down his right hand side? Might be an idea to put cable locks through the wheels of expensive bikes near an open door. Can't believe the thieving scum are getting so desperate to steal! Might make them think twice next time. Then again. . . . .

Rowdygimly, the little b*stards sit on the bikes and steer them while the others push them along on the scooters. There are videos on YouTube of similar incidents. Once they are filtering through traffic at 40mph, you ain't gonna catch them.

Japanese tuning company, Liberty Walk Performance, is a household name in the Japanese tuning scene. With their works finding their way on the Web, these guys are well on their way to being recognized the world over as a pretty bad ass company.
Known for their works on exotic supercars, LWP has come out with a new kit for the Lamborghini Murcielago called the 'LB-R Zero Fighter'. The styling kit features a new paint scheme that was inspired by Zero Fighter planes from World War II. The military theme of the whole LB Performance Type 2 body kit also features camouflage-themed seats on the interior with the calipers given the same treatment. In addition to that, the car also comes with a set of Werfen GT-04 wheels with similar camo pattern barrels.
As far as performance upgrades go, LWP left the supercar's powertrain untouched, opting to keep the Murcielago's 6.5-liter V12 engine the same. Can't say we blame them, considering that on its own, the supercar is already capable of producing 631 horsepower at 8000 rpm and 487 lb/ft at 6000 rpm.
With most programs for the Murcielago, LWP's project is a unique military take on a modern-day exotic that figures to get much more attention than a stock Murcielago ever could.

Frequently asked Questions
Site Owner Phil, answers question put to him by various readers over the years.
1) Why build a site like The Black Presence in Britain? (Blackpresence)
When I had the idea to build the site, there were very few black british history resources on the Internet. It was hard to find out anything at all about the lives of black people who lived in Britain prior to the 1950′s. I thought it would be great if there was one place on the web that students could find information about black British history. It is my hope that black British history will be integrated into school history lessons in in the United Kingdom, thus giving children a clearer view of how multicultural Britain has existed through history.
2) Who is this site aimed at?
This site is intended to be used as a starting point for anyone who is interested in Black British History. So teachers, students and researchers will benefit from the existence of this site. The main purpose of the site was to make British history more inclusive.
3) Isn't it racist, what if there were a site called the White presence in Britain, surely this is double standards?
The site is specifically focussing on one area. History topics in Schools and Universities do this all the time. There are lots of sites and thousands of publications about history that largely exclude the contribution of black people. This site seeks to make the information available to anyone who wants it irrespective of race. Inadequate and incomplete history books do not give a true representation of history.
4) Why have you changed the name from the Black Presence in Britain to just blackpresence, what are you hiding?
Nothing at all, the site has changed it's name and that was widely publicised. After 12 years on the web there are now lots of sites focusing on black British History. I decided that as many of our visitors were from overseas, that it might be more interesting and challenging to broaden the appeal of the site and write more about events and news in the diaspora. Black British History is quite a narrow focus and I want to expand.
5) What happened to the old forums, they were really lively and buzzing?
Well, I'm afraid they were killed by spammers 3 times. I was using the free software PHPBB to run the forums and though they were lively a few years ago they were slowly strangled by Russian spammers. The Spammers send out small programs called bots. These programs register on the forums as real users and then proceed to fill the forum with links to porn and viagra and other such nonsense. Sadly this began to drive the regular user away from the site.
Despite installing several anti spam measures, they kept getting through, my moderators were emailing me every day about the influx of spam. In the end I decided to pull the plug. It was taking up too much of my time. My first child had just been born and I didn't have the time to maintain a site that should in theory, should take care of itself.
5) You have forums now though, Won't the same thing happen again?
Good question, but just because we get knocked down a few times and occasionally feel down about it, shouldn't mean we never try again.
The new forums are a new version, so far the spammers haven't gotten in. I'm hoping that the site's users will take the chance and register. Web technology has moved along in the last few years and my knowledge of how to maintain the site and back it up, revamp it e.t.c has grown too. Remember Blackpresence isn't a large company, it's one guy doing the whole thing from home. I do the best job I can do with limited funds and time.
6) Why is your Identity a mystery?
Is it? I'm Phil. I don't reveal my full name and address because I enjoy my privacy. I get hundreds of emails from all the web sites I work on, and I couldn't possibly deal with snail mail and phone calls too.
7) why does the site have a googlemail account and not a normal @blackpresence.co.uk email address?
The site did have blackpresence addresses however, these were again, choked with spam. Googlemail has a brilliant spam filter which keeps my email time down to a minimum. Before I swapped to googlemail, If I went on holiday for 2 weeks, I'd get home open outlook and have to download about 900 spam emails, it was a nightmare.
8) Given that there are so many black websites out there now, and black people are using the net much more. ?Is there still a need for your site?
Absolutely, remember there's a difference between quantity and quality. It's a slow road but visitor numbers are growing and the site is turning a corner now. There's still a way to go yet, but I aim to make blackpresence one of the best sites on the Internet for black related information. All I need is time, the will and interest of the people. As long as they click the adds every now and again, the site will pay for itself and hopefully still be around in another 10 years.

PARIS, TX -- Paris police department confirms, the Lamar
County Sheriff's Office has taken James Lance Boulware into custody.
According to police, sheriff's deputies saw Boulware leaving his residence in the 1300 block of
Fairfax Avenue at 11:24 AM. Deputies followed Boulware to the 1900 block of
Lamar Avenue, where he was taken into custody without incident. He is being
held in the Lamar County Jail on two felony warrants out of Dallas County.
Paris schools were on a "soft lockdown" for about an hour this
morning, while officials searched for the suspect. The lockdown was lifted at
11:45 AM, according to school officials.
KTEN has a reporter on the ground in Paris. We will bring you more on this
story tonight on KTEN news.
PARIS, TX -- The Paris police department is looking for a man they say is armed and dangerous.
Police say James Lance Boulware, 33, may be driving a dark gray Toyota Prius 4 door hatch back with Texas registration LNJ-825. He lives in the Dallas area but has ties to the Paris area. Paris ISD released a photo of the vehicle they say is similar to the car Boulware may be driving. Officials said schools in Paris were on a "soft lockdown" Wednesday morning.
Boulware is described as a 6'2", 240lb white male with strawberry-blond hair.
Police say he was involved in a disturbance in the Dallas area then traveled to a relative's home in Red River County. They say he was involved in another disturbance there and came back to a residence in Paris. It has been reported that while at the Paris residence, he took several firearms, ammo and body armor. During these disturbances, family members report that James was struck several times in the head and they fear he may have a head injury.
Family members told investigators they spoke with Boulware late Tuesday afternoon through a 'Facetime' call on a wi-fi network in the Bonham area.
During that call, he allegedly made a threat to kill all adult members of his family, along with a vague threat about schools or churches along the way. Paris ISD says he made a statement that he would "shoot up schools and churches."Paris police are asking for the public's assistance in finding Boulware. They say he is armed and advise not to approach or interact with him if you see him or the vehicle. The public is asked to call 9-1-1 should you have information regarding the vehicle or suspect.

Doctor Who and the Silurians is the second serial of the seventh season in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in seven weekly parts from 31 January to 14 March 1970. The story is the first appearance of the Silurians. The title is sometimes reduced to The Silurians.
|This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (July 2011)
An experimental nuclear power research centre built into a network of caves in Wenley Moor is experiencing mysterious power drains and mental breakdowns amongst staff. UNIT is called in to investigate, and the Third Doctor and Liz meet Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart at the plant. While exploring the caves, one of the workers at the centre is found dead with giant claw marks on his body, and his companion's mind has been traumatised to the extent that he can only scrawl primitive cave drawings of reptilian creatures on the walls of the hospital ward. Lawrence, the Director, resents UNIT's presence and feels that it will interfere with the working of the plant, which is trying a new process to generate nuclear electric power. Dr Quinn, the Deputy Director, argues with Miss Dawson, his assistant, when she protests that they should stop "them" from taking the power. Major Baker, the security chief, believes there is a saboteur in the centre, and the Doctor discovers that the logs of the nuclear reactor's operation have been tampered with. When the Doctor makes his way into the caves, he is attacked by a dinosaur-like creature before it is called off by a strange whistling sound.
The Brigadier decides to explore the caves with armed men. Baker fires at a creature he spots in the caves and is attacked by the dinosaur, but it is again called off by the same sound. The Doctor returns to the centre with Baker, taking samples of the blood from when he fired at the creature. Examining the blood, the Doctor finds similarities to "higher reptiles". In the meantime, the creature reaches the surface and stumbles into a barn to hide. Quinn goes into the caves to a hidden base, where he demands the knowledge he was promised. He is told that he must first help the wounded creature and is given a signal device which emits the sound heard earlier.
The creature is discovered by a farmer and his wife and attacks them. The farmer dies of a heart attack, but the wife survives and identifies her attacker. While investigating the barn, Liz is knocked unconscious by the creature and it flees. She tells the Brigadier when she awakes, and he orders a manhunt across the moor just as Quinn appears. Making an excuse, he leaves and summons the creature with his device. The Brigadier and the Doctor follow the creature's tracks and find they end in tyre marks.
The Doctor goes to Quinn's cottage, and notes that it is remarkably hot, like a reptile house. Quinn does not react well to the hints the Doctor is dropping or to his veiled attempts to get him to co-operate, and asks him to leave. Breaking into Quinn's office, the Doctor finds a globe that depicts the Earth's continents as they were 200 million years ago, and notes on the Silurian era of Earth's history.
Back at the cottage, Miss Dawson tries to persuade Quinn to tell the Doctor everything, but Quinn is adamant that he will keep the wounded Silurian captive until he is given the advanced scientific knowledge he wants. When the Doctor goes to the cottage to try to reason with Quinn, he finds him dead in his chair. The Doctor retrieves the signal device from Quinn's body and is surprised by the Silurian, who is still there.
The Doctor talks to the Silurian, only for it to run away. Baker, still convinced that the answer lies in the caves, overpowers the UNIT guard on the sickbay and enters them. He is soon captured by the Silurians and interrogated about the strength of humans. The Doctor and Liz follow his route and open the entrance to the Silurian base with Quinn's signal device, where they find him in a locked cage. He tells them that they must warn the surface. The Doctor and Liz leave undiscovered, but not before they see a Silurian being revived from hibernation by a machine, explaining the energy drains that the reactor has been experiencing.
Meanwhile, Masters, the Permanent Under-Secretary in charge of the centre, arrives for a personal inspection, and Lawrence complains to him about UNIT's interference. The Doctor decides to tell them all about the Silurians in the caves, urging a peaceful contact instead of the Brigadier's proposed armed expedition. However, this falls on deaf ears when Miss Dawson reveals that Quinn was killed by the Silurian he held captive. The Doctor goes to warn and reason with the Silurians, but they put him in a cage. Then when The Doctor tries to reason with the younger one, it attacks him psychically using its third eye.
The older Silurian puts a stop to it. The older Silurian tells the Doctor how their race retreated underground when they saw the Moon approaching Earth millions of years before. The hibernation mechanism malfunctioned, and they did not revive until a new power source was discovered. The Doctor manages to persuade the older Silurian to release the Brigadier and his men, but the younger Silurian orders Baker infected with a virus before he is released. When the older Silurian discovers this, he releases the Doctor, giving him a canister of the virus so he can discover a cure. The younger Silurian kills the older one for this act. The Doctor reaches the centre, and he warns everyone to stay away from Baker, who collapses with the virus. Masters, however, decides to return to London, unaware that he has also been infected. Baker is taken to a local hospital and dies there.
The Brigadier holds Baker's doctor and nurse at gunpoint to prevent them from leaving and spreading the virus while the Doctor returns to the centre to work on the cure. The Brigadier and Liz try to warn London, while all of the centre's staff are inoculated with a stopgap vaccine, except for Lawrence, who refuses. Masters, in the meantime, has reached London and eludes the search parties desperately looking for him. The virus begins to spread and the deaths begin. The young Silurian decides the Doctor must be killed before he finds a cure. The Doctor has indeed found one, and as he writes down the formula, the Silurians attack the centre and stun him with their third eyes, taking him away.
Liz, however, discovers the formula and it is soon being mass-produced and distributed. The Silurians have a back-up plan, however. They intend to use a weapon to destroy the Van Allen Belt and make the Earth's environment hostile to humankind, and will force the Doctor to use the reactor to provide power to the weapon.
UNIT troops are lured into the caves and commence a battle with the Silurians while the younger Silurian takes the Doctor to the reactor control room along with Liz and the Brigadier. The Doctor, however, overloads the reactor and tells the younger Silurian that the area will be irradiated for at least 25 years. The Silurians disengage from the battle with UNIT and re-enter the caves to hibernate until the danger has passed. Since the mechanism is faulty, the younger Silurian will stay awake to operate it and sacrifice his life, while the new leader of the Silurians having orders to return to the area in 50 years and exterminate Humanity as the colony's first order of business. The Doctor and Liz, meanwhile, repair the reactor, and go to the underground base, where the younger Silurian realises he has been duped into sending his race back to sleep. He attacks the Doctor in a rage, but is shot by the Brigadier.
Later, on Wenley Moor, the Doctor tells Liz that he proposes to revive the Silurians one by one and try to reach a peaceful compromise between them and humanity. However, the Brigadier has other orders, and the Silurian base is blown up, which prevents the still alive Silurian from reviving his people. The Doctor is horrified at this act of genocide, but Liz suggests that the Brigadier was acting on orders of his superiors, who obviously did not want to take the chance of this alien power threatening Humanity again. The Doctor, still disgusted, drives off.
This story marks the first appearance of the Doctor's yellow vintage car, Bessie.[1] The Doctor remarks in this episode, "You know, I'm beginning to lose confidence for the first time in my life — and that covers several thousand years." This comment adds to the many conflicting ages for the Doctor provided in the television series over the years.
The term "Silurian" is never actually used by the creatures themselves; only by humans and the Doctor. Its use resulted in many letters from scientists and geologists who argued that it was impossible for a reptilian lifeform to have existed in the Silurian period.[citation needed] In the later The Sea Devils, the Doctor admits that the name "Silurian" is inaccurate and states they should more properly be called "Eocenes", again an unlikely candidate for the creatures' own era. Both names are mentioned in "The Hungry Earth", along with the more generalised "Homo reptilia". The Virgin New Adventures, beginning with Love and War refer to the creatures as Earth Reptiles for the most part. Ben Aaronovitch's The Also People calls them Indigenous Terrans.
The Sea Devils, the aquatic cousins of the Silurians, would appear in The Sea Devils (1972). The Sea Devils and the Silurians return in Warriors of the Deep (1984). In Warriors of the Deep both they and the Sea Devils use "Silurian" to refer to themselves.
The Virgin New Adventures novel Blood Heat features an alternate universe where the Doctor died in captivity during the events of this serial and Earth was subsequently conquered by the Silurians. The Virgin Missing Adventures novel The Scales of Injustice is both a sequel to this story as well as a prequel to the events of Warriors of the Deep. Other novels in both series, such as The Also People and Happy Endings, reveal that at some point the Silurians will be revived and successfully integrated with human society. The Silurians also appear in the Big Finish Productions audio play Bloodtide, which explains why they did not wake up from hibernation and what role they played in human evolution. They also appear in UNIT: The Coup (given away free with Doctor Who Magazine #351) and attempt to create a peace with mankind, with the aid of General Lethbridge-Stewart.
After the previous story, producers Derrick Sherwin and Peter Bryant (who was originally to have the producer's credit on this story) were transferred to the television series Paul Temple, and the BBC intended for Barry Letts to become producer. However, Letts was committed to another production, and could not be released until after the location work on Silurians was completed. Script editor Terrance Dicks and his assistant Trevor Ray shared the production responsibilities for the location work.
The incidental music for the serial was composed by Carey Blyton, who would also contribute music for Death to the Daleks (1974) and Revenge of the Cybermen (1975).
This story is the first to be recorded using colour studio cameras. The previous serial, Spearhead from Space, was the first in colour, but was shot entirely on location (i.e., outside the electronic TV studio), and on film (as opposed to videotape, the standard method for recording Doctor Who). Due to the move to colour, the production team made use of a technique known as Chromakey (or sometimes CSO), which allowed images to be superimposed over each other using colour separation. This was used extensively in the series for many years, beginning with this serial.
Location filming took place at Marylebone station in London on 12 November 1969, but after the prints were damaged, the scenes were reshot on 24 November after the rest of the serial had been finished. Other location work was undertaken in Surrey, with the heathland scenes filmed at Hankley Common.[2]
Alternative titles[edit]
This was the only time the name "Doctor Who" was used in the title of a serial on-screen (although Episode 5 of The Chase was titled "The Death of Doctor Who" on-screen and at the end of The Gunfighters, the caption read "Next Week Doctor Who and the Savages"). Although it was common in production paperwork to prefix "Doctor Who and..." to the story title at the time, the prefix was usually dropped when the director ordered the titles from the captioning department for transmission. However, this was not done for this particular story.
The reasons this happened are not entirely clear. Director Timothy Combe states that he was presented with a story called Doctor Who and the Silurians and that it was always intended that the serial go out with that name. However, as Doctor Who historian Andrew Pixley points out, this was Combe's first serial as a full director and there was effectively no producer at this time, as noted above. In addition, the rehearsal scripts for the serial simply have The Silurians as the title. Pixley theorises that Combe was unaware of the standard production practice and gave the order to the captioning department for the "proper" title, as he believed it to be at the time.
Whichever the case, production paperwork from this point on stopped the practice of adding the prefix, perhaps as a measure to prevent the "mistake" from happening again.[3]
Cast notes[edit]
Actor Paul Darrow would return to the series playing Tekker in Timelash, and he also appeared in the audio play The Next Life.
Geoffrey Palmer who played Masters also appears in The Mutants and in "Voyage of the Damned".
Peter Miles later played Professor Whitaker in Invasion of the Dinosaurs and Nyder in Genesis of the Daleks. He also played Tragan in the radio drama The Paradise of Death and Gantman in the audio play Whispers of Terror.
Norman Jones had previously appeared as Khrisong in The Abominable Snowmen and would later play Hieronymous in The Masque of Mandragora.

Mark Braxton of Radio Times wrote that the story had "quality in spades", especially in the location filming, and that the story was "gritty" and "provocative" with "fine character actors". He praised the design and the voice-acting of the Silurians, but felt their rubber costume on-screen made them come across as "silly". Braxton was also disappointed with other production "shortcomings", such as the "cheap-looking" cave set, the dinosaur, and "Carey Blyton's electro-bagpiped Silurian theme".[6] The A.V. Club reviewer Christopher Bahn wrote that it "keeps a snappy pace throughout thanks to Malcolm Hulke's well-plotted script". He noted that both the monsters and the humans were more complex than previously seen on Doctor Who. Like Braxton, he also felt the serial was "badly served by the Silurian costumes, which are terrible even by the standards of low-budget, 1970s TV".[7] DVD Talk's John Sinnott noting that some parts were "a bit slow" due to the length, but it was a "mature" story where Pertwee defined his Doctor. However, Sinnot felt that John was still trying to find her character's place, and did not have much chemistry with Pertwee.[8] Den of Geek gave a positive review of the serial, writing that "the production is only marred by its excessive number of episodes compared to the story it had to tell ... and an often-appalling 'medieval' score by experimentalist Carey Blyton".[9] In 2010, Charlie Jane Anders of io9 listed Episode Six's cliffhanger as one of the best in all of Doctor Who.[10] Anders listed the serial as a good example of the early Pertwee years, calling it "pretty fantastic" with enemies who "aren't just one-dimensional baddies" and the length "somewhat justified by a harrowing subplot where a plague starts killing people all across London".[11]

A novelisation of this serial, written by Malcolm Hulke, was published by Target Books in January 1974 under the title Doctor Who and the Cave Monsters. In this adaptation, the Silurians were given names like Morka, Okdel and K'to. The novelisation gives extensive background to the reptile culture, including a prologue featuring their hibernation beginning. Large parts of the novelisation are told from the reptiles' point of view and there is an extensive back-story given to several characters including Quinn and Major Baker (for some reason, the character is called Major Barker in the novelisation). The novelisation avoids referring to the reptiles as Silurians (the word turns up as a UNIT password) but identifies the dinosaur in the caves as a tyrannosaurus rex. The novelisation was also translated into Dutch, Finnish, Japanese and Portuguese. An unabridged reading of the novelisation by actress Caroline John was released on CD in September 2007 by BBC Audiobooks.
Home media[edit]
The original 625-line PAL videotapes of the serial were wiped by the BBC for reuse, although they retained 16 mm b/w film recordings. In 1993, the colour signal from a 525-line NTSC version of all seven episodes (except for part of the beginning of episode four) was used, along with traditional colourisation techniques, to colourise the film prints for the VHS release, which was in July of that year. In October 2006, the story's original soundtrack was released on CD as part of the 'Monsters on Earth' tin set, again alongside The Sea Devils and Warriors of the Deep, with linking narration from Caroline John.[12] The CD was then individually re-issued in January 2008.
On 14 January 2008, a fresh restoration of the story (the black and white prints and off-air colour recordings were combined, with the colour prints distorted to reduce fringing and both prints processed with VidFIRE to restore video sections to 50 unique fields a second, rather than 25 frames a second with no motion information between the two fields corresponding to each frame) was released on DVD as part of the boxed set called "Beneath the Surface" with The Sea Devils and Warriors of the Deep.

12 for the Realtor
Kevin Lowe had been on the job about 5 minutes when he sent away Roman Hamrlik. The return was Eric Brewer, Josh Green and the pick that became Brad Winchester.
During the pre-lockout era, Oiler fans came to know the trade deadline and the draft as a time of year when they could look forward to losing their favorite players to other teams.
Oh sure, you'd see a Bill Guerin traded during the season here and there but for the most part those were the two times of year when good veteran players would go bye bye and we'd be introduced to another team's failed first rounder and a lesser version of what was being sent away.
Trades that would fall into this category would be the Hamrlik to NYI deal, the Weight to STL trade and Hecht for picks.
In the summer of 2005, Lowe dealt for Chris Pronger and Mike Peca. The following summer he traded Pronger away in a deal reminiscent of the pre-CBA trades. Last summer, Kevin Lowe sent away Jason Smith and received Joni Pitkanen.
All arrows point this season to a 3-for-1, in fact management has stated it in those exact terms. They have to find a dance partner but in this day and age of quality players with oversized contracts someone out there must want to dump and overpaid player who has value to another team.
We talked yesterday about approximate trade value. The natural follow up to that is "Who's Going?" Last year, Lowe had walking around money for free agents and three first round picks to sell for starting ballplayers.
This season? Here goes.
- Jarret Stoll: RFA about to get 2.2M unless he signs long term, Stoll's poor season owed to concussions suffered the previous year. He did play against tough opposition this past season and he does have value because he's an established NHL player who was healthy enough to play 81 games. His skills are duplicated in the lineup (Horcoff does what he does, only better) and the team has other options immediately available should he leave town. Chances of Leaving: 70%
- Joni Pitkanen: RFA whose agent thinks he's Orr. Pitkanen did not have a good season but any fool can see the guy is a player. A dangerous thing, trading a player like Joni Pitkanen. It could bite you in the ass for a decade. They better get a good return. Chances of Leaving: 70%
- Ladislav Smid: Based on MacT's usage of the 5-6D down the stretch I think Smid may be the odd man out. Young and established which is a compelling combination. Chances of Leaving: 60%
- Raffi Torres: 2 years from UFA status and he costs $2.25M. Torres ripped up his knee last year and although he's apparently fine there seems to be some kind of player-organization disconnect. While Shawn Horcoff's recovery is updated on the Oiler website we really haven't heard too much about Raffi these many months. They had a January "end of season" article and not much since. I think Torres is a valuable player on this team because (when healthy) he brings a physical element not duplicated on this roster. The best this Edmonton team played this decade involved Raffi running around like a crazy man. His injury reduces his value so maybe they hold onto him but it's no sure thing. Chances of Leaving: 50%
- Marc Pouliot: He's played enough in the NHL so that teams probably have an idea about what he is as a player. Pouliot is a possibility as a throw in on the three for one or he could be dealt for a draft pick. MacT's stated wish for Reasoner to return may have sealed his fate. Has to make the team because he won't clear waivers. Chances of Leaving: 50%
- Rob Schremp: He's on the list for two reasons: He doesn't fit the MacT template, and he may be famous enough to get something in return. Schremp's time is now pretty much and there may not be room here. Chances of Leaving: 40%
- Andrew Cogliano: I'm a fan of this guy so don't get me wrong. Trading rookies coming off 45-point seasons is a bad team building plan, so the only way this guy moves is in exchange for someone in the impact player division. Chances of Leaving: 25%
- Matt Greene: A bull who hasn't yet moved up the depth chart, the organization loves the guy and it's hard to imagine a combination of events that would send him away. Still, they have enough depth to deal him. Chances of Leaving: 25%
- Shawn Horcoff: I can't see him getting traded but if they don't extend him then he's a deadline deal waiting to happen. A 1line center in return would be vital. Chances of Leaving: 10%
- Fernando Pisani: 2 years left at $2.5M. He's a team leader and among the smartest players on the team but has had some injury troubles plus is unlikely to deliver enough offense to cover the contract. Chances of Leaving: 10%
- JF Jacques: On the list because of his unique qualities, he doesn't have much trade value and in fact might clear waivers in the fall. Chances of Leaving: 5%
- Dwayne Roloson: He's on the list but I don't think they can unload this salary. 3.667M for a 38-year old goalie is more likely a deadline deal than a draft day trade. Chances of Leaving: 2%.

The community of Cromwell Hills came together today in memory of two 11-year-old boys who drowned nearly two weeks ago.Dozens of people crowded around a memorial cross for Kentory Ray and Thomas Ruffin.Family members say it's been a difficult couple of weeks, but they know both are in a better place."Like for the past few weeks it's just been the only thing on my mind."Siblings of Kentory and Thomas spoke out about their brothers, nearly 2 weeks after their deaths.
"He was smart and talented," said Tyrel Williams.
"He was sweet and compassionate like, he really cared for this family and his friends."Kentory and Thomas went missing on September 22nd while playing near South Chickamauga Creek.Search crews found both bodies the next day.
"It was heartbreaking. I was shocked," said DeShayla Rice, Cousin of Thomas.
"It was just hurtful it was just painful. If you have kids you can imagine," said Tasha Williams, Thomas' Step-Mother.Williams says the family has seen overwhelming support after such a great loss.Today was no different as the families gathered to hold a vigil in memory of the two 11-year-olds."A lot of people showed up. I didn't know it was going to be this many people," said Nikki Smith.Both families said this vigil provided the closure they needed."You can't believe he's gone but all you've got is good memories."
