Food network
Thousands of students flock to the UGA dining halls every day, but most go there to eat. Members of the Student Culinary Team, dressed in bright red smocks, are there to work alongside professional chefs to learn about food preparation and the food industry.
"They're very hands on," says Snelling Dining Commons Manager Bryan Varin. "We give them guidance, but we get them to the point where they can make a recipe from start to finish."
The team is made up of eager students who express an interest in food preparation. Many plan to pursue careers in the food industry, but a few of them just have a passion for cooking.
"I love being part of the whole process," says Kristin Evans, a senior international affairs major from Alpharetta. "When I'm making a cake I'm there from beginning to end. I get to mix the dough and pull it out of the oven when it's all finished."
Varin invited Evans to join the team as a sophomore after she volunteered to help in the kitchen during an event. He and Oglethorpe Dining Commons Head Chef Darnell Tate select members of the team on a case-by-case basis. Evans fit the bill because she displayed both leadership skills and a love for food.
"They're held to a higher standard," Tate says. "All of our employees are held to a standard, but these students have something they should be especially proud of."
Tate started the program at Oglethorpe two years ago after he noticed that student employees were often confined to one area of the kitchen. The idea was a quick hit among students and soon Varin started a team at Snelling. Within the next year, all four dining halls will have student culinary teams.
Although they don't receive course credit, students earn a certificate after one year in the program. Most return year after year to gain more experience in the kitchen.
"I want to go work in the food industry when I graduate," says Will Toms, a junior from McDonough majoring in consumer foods. "I actually got into a lot of culinary schools after high school, but I decided I would rather come to UGA."
"We do everything from chopping produce to baking cakes to rubbing down meats," he says. "Sometimes an ingredient you need isn't there so you have to ad lib a recipe, and I love doing that."
Student Culinary Team member Will Toms cooks in the kitchen while preparing for lunch at Oglethorpe Dining Commons.
Toms started cooking in high school when he and his friends opened a catering business, but working on the culinary team has made him comfortable with larger crowds.
"It took some adjustment to go from serving 50 turkeys to hundreds of turkeys," he says. "But with the training they give us, pretty soon you realize it's in you."
Evans also credits the large scale dining hall operation as the most challenging and rewarding part of being on the team.
"On nights when we've served 1,300 people in an hour it gets tough to keep food out for kids to eat and to make sure their favorite foods are out there," she says. "You have to be forward thinking. On chocolate chip cookie day you have to have extra chocolate chip cookies."
Planning ahead is just one of many skills Evans has honed while on the culinary team. As a senior member of the bakeshop, she organizes recipe preparation, delegates tasks and teaches new student employees the ropes. With flour on her face and questions from every direction, Evans patiently leads other student employees and rarely stops smiling.
Although Tate designed the program to teach students more about food, he says their role in the kitchen teaches responsibilities that will be useful in any work environment.
"It involves working under pressure, teamwork and people skills," he says, "and it combines all of those on a day-to-day basis."
Armed with these skills, the culinary team members act as leaders in the kitchen, but Tate says they don't stand out because of individual accomplishments.
"It's the fact that they work together, always as a team," he says. "Other students notice that. They come to me and tell me they see that team in the red shirts, and they want to be a part of it too."

Our post "Catholic comments on Ted Kennedy, pro and con" showed readers were deeply split on whether the late senator should have a Roman Catholic funeral. The naysayers argued that his support for choice on abortion and other disagreements with Church doctrine disqualify him from a religious ceremony. Those for a church funeral argued that he helped advance many causes championed by Catholic social teaching.
Those opposing a Mass of Christian Burial for Kennedy predominated, but not all readers take the time to write a comment. One-click poll questions sometimes give a different picture from comment pages. So here's a simple question:

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - US Airways
The carriers offered the concession and also committed to facilitate the entry of a new competitor to allay concerns by the European Commission over the combined company's monopoly of the route. Reuters reported the imminent EU approval on July 29.
"The decision is conditional upon the release of one daily slot pair at London Heathrow and of other commitments in order to induce entry on the London-Philadelphia route," the EU antitrust authority said in a statement.
The Commission said the carriers would also sign special feed traffic agreements with a new competitor on the route.

great skecthbook , love those hand study good luck
Thanks ayoub66 =)
Here's another batch of faces I did today. It's funny that the big one in the middle is probably my least favourite.
Most were from imagination, some were loosely based on people at school and on the bus.

Here are some portraits.
These are photo referenced.
Next I think I'll do some figure/anatomy studies... I'm spending too much time on just faces.
good creatures and studies you got goin on bro. keep it up and thanks for the encouraging words
my subconscious does not stop begging my conscious to draw.
hmm does that mean im a slave to my subconscious?
at least it doesnt beg for crack. ha.
Thanks mrd33ds.
Apologies for my absence lately, I've been spending a lot of time painting miniatures. That and school/work have kept me from drawing much (excuses excuses, I know).
Anyway, I've started a fairly in-depth study of human anatomy. This is partly for school and partly for artistic purposes. I'm slowly working my way through this anatomy textbook, taking notes and drawing pictures as I go.
I'm starting with the axial skeleton... first of all, the skull
Next, the spine
These are studies of live models. The first one is from last week, the second and third are from today. They were all 15 minutes.
(the third is my personal favourite)

Here's a photo study. I came across a graphite stick so I thought I'd try a toned background. I quite like how it turned out.
This took maybe 1h30min (wasn't really keeping track).
Last edited by isokarhu; June 14th, 2011 at 01:20 PM.
Nice studies man. Keep up!
Two photo studies... nothing spectacular.
I'm really starting to like these toned backgrounds. Somehow they're less intimidating than a white sheet of paper.
Something from imagination.. a plane? superman? no, a bird!
Some hands and a silly doodle. I was using my own hand for reference.
Here's another photo study. This is my first ever attempt at using charcoal and chalk! I used grey paper and realized pretty quickly that I wasn't fond of the texture and that the other side was much smoother... oh well, now I know for next time. Let me know what you think.
Last edited by isokarhu; July 12th, 2011 at 03:52 PM.
Some pencil figure studies.
Hm, it just dawned on me that I hardly ever draw men. Perhaps I should draw some men.

More studies.
Wow nice stuff. I laughed when you said nothing spectacular, it's amazing to me.
Check out my sketchbook: Anatomy Sketchbook
And please comment, even if you think it's terrible, tell me why . Or if you don't want to at least a "good work" would be motivating
You are improving amazingly fast ... i just can imagine how good you will become during the next years .. keep it up!
My Sketchbook:
I really liked the portrait.It's good.
"Dubium sapientiae initium."
"Il dubbio è linizio della sapienza."
Ok, back to anatomy. I intend to finish all the bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments eventually! Needless to say, I still have a long way to go...
But here's the rib cage
Today's life drawings.
The first three were 5 or 10 minutes (can't remember which was which) and the last was 15 minutes. I'll admit it, I touched up the face on the last one when I got home... not so sure that it did any good.
Last edited by isokarhu; July 28th, 2011 at 01:26 AM.
Just keep doing what you're doing! These continuos studies will pay off big time!
nice work....keep it up...the creature in the third image is hilarious
Today's not-so-serious drawings from imagination. If these taught me anything, it's that I still have a lot to learn.
Some profile practice and a dude jamming with a boombox (I was listening to rap, heh). The most glaring problem with him is the way his shirt folds.. I need to study fabrics big time.

good studies!! I think you can try adding more values inti your pencil drawing. The Last post is great!
Today's life drawings! This was the last class of the semester.. no more until September

I got it in mocha and I love the color. it is soft and very comfortable...can't wait to wear it out!
I own several dresses by this brand and I do enjoy them. It's soft, lightweight, figure flattering and a great casual piece. It is a little thin, so I don't know if I would wear it in a lighter color, not sure what may show through, but in black it works perfect for me. It's a great around the house and errand dress too! I would recommend it to a friend.
Did not like the quality of the material as it was very thin. Was not something I would wear as a dress or even a nightgown.
This was a gift and is being returned. The recipient said it looked and felt like a nightgown, not a dress. Sorry.

TOWN OF TAINTER, WI (WTAQ) - The head of international education at UW-Stout has died in a traffic crash.
Dunn County authorities said 55-year-old Hong Rost drove across a centerline and collided with an oncoming semi-truck. The trucker was not hurt.
The accident occurred Thursday on County Trunk "D" in the Dunn County town of Tainter.
Stout chancellor Charles Sorenson called Rost a "tremendous advocate for UW-Stout on the international stage."
She became Stout's top international education official in 2010, after being the assistant director for a similar department at UW-La Crosse for 15 years.

I think we knew this was true, but watching the young forwards kick ass in the majors while waiting for the defense to develop points out an absolute fact about NHL hockey: it takes longer (and there are more detours) to develop a defenseman. Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Jordan Eberle, Nail Yakupov and Sam Gagner are ready to roll, but the defensemen are going to take awhile. (Martin Marincin, photo by Rob Ferguson. All rights reserved)
If we can agree that Justin Schultz, Jeff Petry and Ladislav Smid are the future (and Belov may be, too) then it follows that the replacements for men like Andrew Ference, Nick Schultz, Denis Grebeshkov and Corey Potter may come from the bubbling under group.
- Ready now: Taylor Fedun, Phil Larsen
- Ready soon: Oscar Klefbom, Martin Marincin, Brandon Davidson
- Ready next fall: Darnell Nurse
- Who knows: Brad Hunt, Martin Gernat, David Musil
Now that's an estimate and we have no idea how long it will be before any of these guys can play top 4, but if Klefbom arrives as a top 4D in the spring of 2015 he might be the first. Fair? Maybe Nurse beats him but that's really aggressive. No, I think if Klefbom gets called up after Christmas, plays 40 games this season as a 5-6, and then another 70 or so in 2014-15 that might get him a seat alongside (say) Jeff Petry.
We'll go with that.
Bottom line: the Oilers current 6 (Smid-Petry, Belov-J Schultz, Ference-N Schultz/Grebeshkov) could see a replacement from OKC at any time, but it's unlikely and of the callups could play a prominent role.
The Oilers either make do with what they have, or they make a trade. If the Oilers are calling around asking for an upgrade, the chances that other teams are asking after Jeff Petry or Ladislav Smid are very high.
This is a very bad time to be upgrading blue. The cost is insane, and that's if someone is interested in making a move.
Dangerous times.

The site of the new Atlanta Falcons stadium remains up in the air after negotiations have stalled with two churches that sit on the preferred site.The two historic African-American churches are located at Northside Drive and Martin Luther Boulevard, where the city has said it prefers the new billion-dollar stadium to be constructed.FOX 5 has learned that talks with Mt. Vernon Baptist Church have stalled. Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed has publicly acknowledged that negotiations have soured with Friendship Baptist Church after the 460 member congregation walked away from a $15.5 million offer. "We have not gotten an offer from the city that's been acceptable to meet all the needs of the church and what we think is in the best interest of everyone," said Lloyd Hawk of Friendship Baptist Church. On Wednesday, the Georgia World Congress Center Authority's stadium committee turned their attention to a north site. The committee recommended the Falcons conduct a feasibility study on the second lot so that the team can meet its deadlines to build its new home."We're preparing ourselves and getting ready to set the stage that should the Falcons determine that the south side is not feasible that we have already taken action necessary to support a north side feasibility assessment," said GWCC Executive Director Frank Poe.But the 19-acre north site, which borders Northside Drive at Ivan Allen Blvd and Marietta Street, has its detractors. Mike Koblentz represents 15 neighborhoods in the area who are opposed to the project. He fears the stadium would make traffic unbearable."I think the Falcons are making a very serious mistake, or the World Congress Center, by even entertaining this location which doesn't work. There's no MARTA connection. It will be an island onto its own," said Koblentz.
Friendship Baptist Church officials said they hope to meet with the city again sometime next week. The Georgia World Congress Center Authority said they plan to take their vote on the north feasibility study on Tuesday.

Tucson police make arrest in armed robbery cases
TUCSON -- Police say they have arrested an 18-year-old man in connection with numerous armed robberies throughout Tucson.
Sgt. Chris Widmer says Jose Cuevas was initially booked into the Pima County Jail on charges related to armed robberies that occurred last Sunday at a Denny's Restaurant and a Toys-R-Us store.
Detectives ended up filing more charges against Cuevas for a string of robberies at Food City stores and a Circle K convenience store over the past two months.
He's accused of robbing the same Food City store two days apart.
In each robbery, a handgun was brandished. During one robbery, police say the suspect fired a shot through the ceiling of the business.
Police say Cuevas is also facing charges of kidnapping and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

"Arg mateys! Do not wake me up or ye shall walk da plank!"
It's Treats and Toys Tuesday!
So I always said I wasn't going to be one of those "Purse Dog" type owners who dress their furr-babies up in crazy outfits, put them in a purse and shop on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. However, now that Diesel Von Vader has arrived, and his body fits such cute outfits, I think I am transforming into one. Luckily for me, I don't have a purse big enough to fit him and all my necessities.
Browsing around Etsy, I came across this ADORABLE doggie hat that was perfectly ironic for the Von Vader. It would be quite normal of me to dress him up as "Darth Vader" for halloween, but Yoda? Now that's a crazy idea. Even better, these are made to order, so whether you have a mini-yoda, like my guy, or someone with a bit more stature, you can get your pup a KI-UTE hat. And if you aren't a fan of Star Wars (shame on you…), there are plenty of other hats to keep your pup warm.
Halloween may be months away, but now all I can think about is what Diesel should wear.

text: Demons Take Out Cougars in Home and Home Series The Demons and Cougars organization took over the news this weekend with a home and home series, marking their first and last match-ups this season. The action started Saturday Night at The Hockey Dek in Springfield, PA, when the Cougars and Demons Black minor teams kicked off the weekend with a split. The Demons went down early in game 1 and weren't able to recover, losing to the Cougars 5-1. Game 2 was a different story, with the Demons and Cougars trading goals in the first period, and Demons pulling away in the second, for a 7-5 victory. The Elites followed with a tightly contested first game, which the Demons took 3-2, despite a second period surge by the Cougars. The second game of the match-up saw the teams trade goals in the first period, only to have the Demons explode for 4 goals in the second period, and take the game 7-2. Back in action on Sunday morning, it was the Demons Orange Minor team to start things off against the Cougars. The Orange team struggled in the first game, falling 9-1 to the Cougars, but were able to turn it around in the second game with a better defensive strategy. Unfortunately, scoring didn't follow suit, and they again fell to the Cougars, 3-0. The Elites again suited up against each other in New Jersey Sunday afternoon, and the Demons picked up where they left off, winning the first game in convincing fashion, by a score of 7-1. In game 2, the Demons kept it going, holding off a late desperation run by the Cougars, for a 7-4 win. With the 4 win sweep of the Cougars, the Demons Elites sit in second place (9-0-0-1) behind the Liberty, with 6 games in hand, and the Cougars fall to third. With their 3 wins, the Cougars minors climb into 1st place, while Demons Black sits in third behind the Robins, and Demons Orange remains in fifth place. Next up for the Elite and Minor Black teams is a trip to Richmond, VA to take on the Robins. This is a big conference match-up for the Minor Division, as the teams split earlier this month, and second place is up for grabs. The Minor Orange team is off until February 16th on a trip to Pittsburgh, PA, with the rest of the Demons club. 1 year ago 0 share

Libraries and museums care for collections that connect us to history, art, science and the natural world.
National Initiative: Connecting to Collections
Connecting to Collections is a national initiative to raise public awareness of the importance of caring for our treasures, and to underscore the fact that these collections are essential to the American story.

The David C. Driskell Center for the Study of the Visual Arts and Culture of African Americans and the African Diaspora at the University of Maryland used an IMLS grant to begin documenting Professor David C. Driskell's one-of-a-kind archive consisting of an estimated 50,000 objects. The center hired an archivist, graduate student interns, and a consulting archivist to develop procedures for inventorying and making the collection available online.

Conflicted Minimalist
My ideal is the minimalist aesthetic of the last mid-century. Clean, spare, light-filled and highly impractical. My reality, is compact, frequently cluttered though spacious by NYC standards. In this way, I see the glass as simultaneously half full while half empty. My dichotomy is balancing the beautiful with a quest for space.
Well that's the me you'll meet on my sporadically updated blog, The Conflicted Minimalist.

The Experiment. Part 1
So i've introduce the idea that one should be able to create a complete online profile, taking elements from each existing social platform. Its not an idea unfamiliar to others, already with this tumblr theme i'm able to link straight through to a number of different social profiles, linkedIn, Twitter, XBox, etc. (Xbox was a nice surprise, forgot i had one of those). The inspiration behind this endeavour, about.me, also allows you link through to a number of social sites. As soon as i had about.me i then wanted a home.me, image.me and so forth.
But the execution is lacking something, its lacking that element that makes it more than superficial hyperlinks, into something new and tangible that could work differently in the psyche of internet users. How do i share this page with my friends, www.emile.info, how do they view my choice elements from flickr? http://flic.kr/pp/kzontye and how can this be navigated?
What am i trying to do/discover?
Always a good question to re-ask your self. It started of as a way to have a blog with lots of features, without having to A) host my own website, and B) to capitalise on the features offered by existing sites.
What i'm really looking to do is to be able to have a frame work within wich i can place pages of other sites into it to make all the parts appear as a whole. Flickr, Blog, Location, Events, Calendar, Mail, Social-News (facebook wall), timeline.
Importantly i don't want this to be Facebook. Why? this shouldn't be owned by anyone, it should be a natural mechanic through which people can build up an online presence from the sites they like that deliver the content in the way they like. An extension of the good old hyperlink, ordered, presented and utilised. Essentially though its a way of binding all the individual elements together, that friends can find, link to and network with.
Does it exist already?
Its probably staring me in the face, but if it is, then it isn't doing a good job. No doubt parts 2.3.4 and 5 will each find endeavours to do something similar. I've already pointed out that you can use hyperlinks to link existing profiles. Whats hyperlink 2.0? Meta data? Is it hyperlink 3.0 i'm looking for? Taking the social out of Facebook and putting it back where it belongs.

Third and final interpretation in the series. Few bits to change until the collection is taken to physical copies..
One of my briefs this year is to create a physical trilogy of The Weeknd's records. Been playing around with a few ideas for a while now but I think I'm pretty set on this aesthetic.
Imagine a dark, voyeuristic, erotic, outside looking in feel. Hopefully you get this.
The idea was these are his sins, his record. You just have to sit back and listen (and now look).

PetAlive Thyro-Pet is a 100% safe and natural combination of herbal ingredients for treating hypothyroid conditions in pets. This remedy will improve your pet's thyroid functioning and increase the production of thyroid hormones naturally as well as address all the major symptoms associated with hypothyroidism. Thyro-Pet contains no added synthetic thyroid hormones and there is therefore no risk of inducing hyperthyroidism in your pet.
The thyroid gland produces thyroid hormones which have a number of functions in the body and are particularly critical in maintaining your pet's metabolic rate. Any change in the functioning of this gland can have varied effects on your pet's health. Although hypothyroidism (decreased functioning of the thyroid) is not a life-threatening condition, it can certainly decrease your dog or cat's quality of life. The symptoms of hypothyroidism may be insidious in onset and not immediately obvious. If your pet has been putting on weight or you suspect hypothyroidism for another reason, it is best to consult your vet who will be able to test for this condition by measuring thyroid hormones in the blood.
Use PetAlive Thyro-Pet To
What are the symptoms of hypothyroidism in pets?
Pets with hypothyroid conditions may gain weight without any change in their diet. Many become lethargic and seem to lack energy. The coat and skin may suffer from the lack of thyroid hormones, leading to hair loss and dry skin. Constipation, slow heart rate and infertility are also common problems in pets with hypothyroidism.
100% Natural Ingredients
Contains no gluten, artificial flavors, colors or preservatives.
Available in 50 ml. One 50 ml bottle of Thyro-Pet will last for 15 - 60 days, depending on the size and needs of your pet.

Pet allergic to this product
By Koda
from Wyoming
About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Native Remedies PetAlive Thyro-Pet:
I have a golden retriever and they are susceptible to thyroid problems. I tested my 6 yr old male and his thyroid was borderline low. I first used some bach remedies and his thyroid improved. Then I switched to this product and went through 2 bottles, but noticed he had less energy. So I stopped the product in order to give him a thyroid test and within 3 days his energy was back to normal, after 4 months of low energy on this product.I suspect the astragalus which is a mold based herb was the problem. many humans are allergic to Astragalus. His thyroid test was normal, but his energy is now back after being off this product.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

VERY HAPPY with the results.
By Shay
from Minnesota
Gracie, my 8 yr old dachshund, was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, but her levels were just low enough to be borderline for prescription medication. I decided to try a more holistic/naturopathic approach for long-term care, and am so pleased with the results we've had with PetAlive Thyro-Pet by Native Remedies. We've finally been able to trim the weight down off her, her long coat has grown back (so much as to require grooming!) Also, Gracie's energy levels are back to where they should be for her tenacious dachshund self. She FEELS GOOD!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Cat rejected, so I tasted it.....argh
By shambalie
from Asheville area of Western N.C.
I was eager to administer as the Vet med stabalizes HyperThyroidism But shuts down their Organs in 8 to 12 months. What an horrifying choice. So am looking for Alternative medicines. He rejected the taste even when I attempted to 'hide' in food. No luck.. His smell obviously still works well. I then decided to 'taste' it myself. Left me knowing exactly why he rejected. Thought it might be better tasting ... but Not. wondering what to do with a bottle of this and cannot use.
Merchant response: Try mixing in food or a nice stinky treat, something they love....cream cheese, peanut butter, tripe, a freeze dried treat that would soak up the liquid. Natural thyroid alternatives can work wonders!
By james
from United kingdom
Very good product, when added to food seems to do very little, could be that dogs with hypothyroid seem to have absorbtion problems. However when administered by mouth it is excellent.
Happy dog again!
By Amyin FL
from Florida
This product has worked better than the synthetic thyroid meds our 9 yr old mix dog T.J. was on previously. And he seems to have lost more weight and has less shedding and a shiner coat to boot!
Not very impressed
By The Sweet
from Conyers, GA
This product was easy to use, but didn't seem to help my dog much at all. Will try something different.

its a miracle
By sunpro
from san diego
kitty has a nonworking thyroid and this product keeps her symptom free. i would prefer it to come in a dropper bottle, as sometimes it does not drip out and you have to shake it out. this makes dosaing a little harder.
buying it over and over again
By Terri
from Sun City Az
I have a Golden Sheperd, He is seven years old , He started haveing convultion like semptom, about five yrs old. We took him to the vet, and found out he had a low thyroid, I started looking into nautural treatments since Synthroid was expensive, This has been the answer. It works so great and he is doing so good ,I would not change the treatment.
Amazed at how well it worked
By danitourist
from Nashville, TN
My Australian Shepherd suffered from a continual gnawing at the skin between his paw pads. He also looked like he gained weight though I wasn't feeding him more & the scale only said 2 lbs heavier. He was also lethargic. When someone suggested he could have hypothyroidism, I looked into testing him at the vet. I decided to try the natural route first. I was AMAZED at the different in my dog. The gnawing stopped, he was so much more energetic and I could see more muscle definition in him. I give him 5-6 drops on top of his food every morning and it does the trick.It lasts a long time. I'm on my second bottle and I've been using it for over 8 months.

Backing up the Filing CabinetPosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
Since I spend much more time with my head buried in sixteenth notes than I spend keeping up with technological shifts, this change caught me by surprise. I saw the CDs becoming more prevalent, but it didn't occur to me that diskettes would disappear as quickly as they did. I got two different disk drives to help me get through the transition, but now even those no longer work with current operating systems. As a result, a handful of the pieces I wrote in the 1990s no longer exist – I printed most of them, but not all.
Which is okay – the ones I didn't print probably weren't worth the trouble. I don't find it difficult to move on – I've got a lot of new music I want to write. And now my living quarters are more spacious than ten years ago, so I'm able to print everything.
CDs hold a lot more information than diskettes. I could barely fit a large work on a single diskette; I can fit 50 of them on a CD. But I hate backing up files on CD, because I can't get the rewriteable ones to actually rewrite, so when I revise a piece I have to toss the disk I've saved it on. Then sometimes I just want to back up one piece, and it seems a waste to burn a CD for something so small, since it just gets tossed when I make revisions.
Has anyone found a good solution to backing up notation files? If so, I'm all ear. I'd like to be able to keep copies I can make little revisions to from time to time. And I'm on a Mac OS 10.3.9, if that clarifies.

Following today's moves to send Jason Zucker and Jake Dowell to Iowa, here is the Wild's anticipated 22-man opening roster and lineup Thursday night vs. Los Angeles (this is barring transactions; the fact the Wild sent Jake Dowell down, too, opens the door to perhaps a waiver pickup Monday):
Zach Parise-Mikko Koivu-Jason Pominville
Nino Niederreiter-Charlie Coyle-Dany Heatley
Matt Cooke-Kyle Brodziak-Mikael Granlund
Justin Fontaine-Zenon Konopka-Torrey Mitchell
Injured: Mike Rupp (knee)
Ryan Suter-Jonas Brodin
Marco Scandella-Jared Spurgeon
Keith Ballard-Matt Dumba
Extras: Clayton Stoner, Nate Prosser
Niklas Backstrom
Josh Harding
Fontaine will make his NHL debut; Yeo said there's a good chance of Dumba as well.
Fontaine is very excited to make the team, and both Fontaine and Dumba say they're not taking anything for granted. They know nothing is cemented in stone. Dumba said he's well aware he can still be returned to Red Deer before he plays in a 10th game without the first year of his contract being burned.
Zucker tweeted: @Jason_Zucker16: Nobody to blame but myself.. Have to be better and will be better! See you soon Minnesota! #JustWait #MNWild
As for Zucker, I'm shocked at frankly the shock out there. It's been clear the last four days that he was on thin ice. He got hurt at the wrong time in camp and was outperformed by Nino Niederreiter for the second-line left wing spot -- for now. He can be back at anytime.
As for Mikael Granlund, he had a great camp, looks faster, grittier and stronger. If you have two shooters on the second power-play unit in Coyle and Niederreiter, Granlund makes sense because he's a puck distributor. Zucker is another shooter. The Wild also has concerns with Zucker's defensive game, and although he scored a playoff OT winner in Game 3, he didn't produce down the stretch of last season. This is all in the Wild's mind.
Again though, he will play games here this season. He's 21 years old. The AHL is a developmental league and most the great players in this league have played in the AHL. He hasn't even had to spend a full year in the minors (55 games), so chill.
Here are Mike Yeo's thoughts on today's moves, particularly sending Zucker down:
Zucker conversation: Obviously everybody's goal is to be here, so you'd be pretty concerned if a player was happy or didn't show some disappointment. As far as Zuck, it really comes down to we're not prepared to put him on the fourth line right now and we're not prepared to have him be a healthy scratch. What you saw on the ice today was us gearing up for Game 1 and we're really not focused on anything beyond that.
Nino and Granlund: He earned it, as far as I'm concerned, the games that he played. We like what he can add to the [Coyle-Heatley line]. Playing against a team like L.A., we've got a bigger body. You've got a guy that can shoot, a guy that can skate, a guy that can handle the puck. He played like a top-6 forward in training camp and we're giving him that opportunity up there. Granny had a good camp, too. We spent the entire camp really looking at him as a centerman. We feel we can get a lot out of him as a winger, too. He had a good camp. He showed that he's battled harder, he's showed that he's faster, defensively he did a very good job for us, and we feel he can be a good complement to the [Cooke-Brodziak] line. You have two guys with size and two guys that play a strong, hard game, so we feel putting a guy there with Granny's ability to distribute the puck, it could complement that line plus give Granny a bigger role.
Message to Zucker: Just make sure you're on top of his game because we don't know when it's going to be. We know that he's there and to be perfectly honest, I like the idea that everybody on our team knows that he's there. It shouldn't be too difficult to make sure that you're ready to go knowing that there's a guy like that waiting in the wings.
Fontaine: He seems like he's the kind of guy that you can move in different parts of your lineup. He plays an intelligent game, he can play well with the puck, he can execute, he can make some plays, but at the same time, he can play well positionally. It makes him the kind of guy you can put in different parts of the lineup. Plus, he's the kind of guy that I don't think we're going to have a ton of concern right now playing him on the fourth line or third line. He's at a point in his development where we don't have to really stress about making sure he gets too much. The next step for him is playing at the NHL level and developing there
Interchangeable parts: Or Granny can go up, or Granny can play center. It even gives us some flexibility even in the game. Having Granny in the lineup is also big for our power play. It gives us flexibility through the course of the game and night to night to throw out different look.
Dowell: The message was pretty clear. We're being honest with it that our focus is sort of for this game -- getting ready for this week and then thing can change in hurry.
Not carrying an extra forward to save salary cap/proximity of Iowa: But also it doesn't help anybody to sit around and not play. So it's just a matter of Iowa is close and they're playing the same game, the same system, so let's just concentrate on the group that we're going in with. So to have anybody up here who's not going to play and just sit around and be an extra, it doesn't help the guys that are in the lineup and it doesn't help them.
Dumba NHL debut Thursday: I would say there's a good chance of that.
How will you use him: Again, this is a game one focus for us with this group. With the amount of young guys that we have, I think it just has to be something that we stay on top of night after night.
Prove himself being one of the best defenseman in St. Louis: He played his gap, his skating ability, makes him a tough guy to play against defensively. There's still some things that he can get a little better at with some teaching and some time here he'll continue to get better at that. What it comes down to is his ability to move the puck, his ability to get in the play. We're a team that needs to generate more from the offensive blue line and he's a guy that has the ability to.
What do you want to accomplish the next four days: Well, bigger picture things. Obviously there's tactical parts that we want to get into. We've got the team building trip which will be nice. Bottom line is our main focus is on pace, making sure that we're doing things at game speed, the speed that we want to play games at when we drop the puck on Thursday. Number two is the competitiveness. You saw a lot of battle in our practice today. Number three would be the detail and the habits. And number four would be the execution -- just making sure that we're sharp and crisp and we have a good feeling going into game one.
How fluid will the lineup be: Most of the time, you're not making a lot of changes to your lineup when things are going really well. So I hope that we play 82 in a row with the same lineup (laughing). But I don't think that that's going to happen. And even at that, we won't be afraid to change the lineup if we win. We won't be afraid to change the lineup if we lose because we've got moving parts. Because we've got guys that are capable of playing different positions and guys that are capable of pushing. So I think that's going to be interesting following the story line of that as things go on. Again, we don't know what it's going to look like in Game 5. We know what it will look like in Game 1.
How do you keep from getting stale next four days: We're going to back off a little tomorrow. Obviously today was a very tough practice and we're going to back off tomorrow so we can ramp it back up on Tuesday.
The Wild has assigned Jason Zucker and Jake Dowell to Iowa of the American Hockey League, trimming its roster to 22 players this morning.
Obviously disappointed, Zucker left the Xcel Energy Center with his bag and sticks and declined to comment.
Again, as the Wild has said over and over this camp, in its mind, whoever didn't make the opening-night roster simply won't be in the lineup opening night vs. L.A. on Thursday. It's not, "not making the team."
With Iowa in such close proximity and so many players on contracts that allow the Wild to send them up and down freely, this could happen for some time.
Zucker will be back at some point. But against big, tough L.A., coach Mike Yeo must feel he needs rugged Zenon Konopka in the lineup, meaning one of the kids will be scratched.
Zucker would be that guy. He's admitted to feeling sore since his groin injury, Mikael Granlund has also had a quality camp and the second power play has two shooters in Charlie Coyle and Nino Niederreiter. Zucker is a shooter, Granlund a puck distributor.
We haven't talked to Yeo or GM Chuck Fletcher, but to send Dowell down and go below the maximum 23, the Wild is likely looking to save precious salary-cap space since Dowell would be the clear extra forward. This also would allow the Wild to sign David Steckel at any time if it wants.
So, as of now, UMD-Bulldog Justin Fontaine is on the team. Same with Granlund, Niederreiter and Matt Dumba.
And of course, Coyle.
By the way, Niklas Backstrom and Josh Harding are practicing today here at the X, as well as Torrey Mitchell. The Wild heads to Duluth for two days after practice.
Opening Night roster as of now (must be submitted at 4 p.m. Monday)
Zach Parise-Mikko Koivu-Jason Pominville
Dany Heatley-Charlie Coyle-Justin Fontaine
Matt Cooke-Kyle Brodziak-Torrey Mitchell
Mikael Granlund-Zenon Konopka-Nino Niederreiter
(If it were me, I'd switch Fontaine and Niederreiter, but Fontaine's been on that line most of camp, so I'll put him there for now)
Ryan Suter-Jonas Brodin
Marco Scandella-Jared Spurgeon
Keith Ballard-Matt Dumba
Clayton Stoner-Nate Prosser
Niklas Backstrom
Josh Harding
Injured: Mike Rupp (knee)
More later
The Wild cut its roster to 28 players Tuesday morning, sending 11 players to its AHL affiliate in Iowa and putting seven others on waivers with the intent of assigning them to Iowa on Wednesday.
Forward Erik Haula and Carson McMillan, both of whom had performed well in camp, were among Tuesday's cuts. Haula, Raphael Bussieres, Josh Caron, Kris Foucault, Tyler Graovac and Zack Phillips are the forwards sent to Iowa; defensemen who will join them are Corbin Baldwin, Colton Jobke and Kyle Medvec. Goalies Darcy Kuemper and Johan Gustafsson also were assigned to Iowa.
Players placed on waivers with intent to send to Iowa: Forwards McMillan, Stephane Veilleux and Chad Rau; defensemen Jonathon Blum, Brian Connelly, Steven Kampfer and Jon Landry. Kurtis Gabriel also was assigned to Owen Sound of the OHL.
Mikael Grandlund is practicing today, but Mikko Koivu is not. We'll have an update later.
UPDATE: Koivu did not practice Tuesday because his fiancee is in labor. Wild coach Mike Yeo expects him in the lineup for Wednesday's preseason game against St. Louis. Granlund, who has what the Wild is calling a "slight upper-body injury,'' looked good in practice. Yeo said if Granlund is feeling fine, he will play Wednesday.
Other post-practice notes Tuesday:
--Yeo sounded doubtful that forward Mike Rupp (offseason knee surgery) will be ready to go when the season starts. "That's going to be a stretch,'' Yeo said. "He's feeling better. I'm not going to rule it out. But he's got to get some quality practice time in. He's got a lot of catching up to do.''
--The coach lauded Haula's speed, positioning and ability to read plays. But he said none of the players cut Tuesday were going to make the opening-night roster, so it was best to move them along. "The young kids, the prospects, they need to play,'' Yeo said. "So let's get them on their way and get them started.''
--Forward Justin Fontaine was happy to have a locker in the main room, squeezed in next to the stereo and the goalies. To keep it, Yeo said, he will have to put the puck in the net or create a chance for someone else to do the same. "He's going to have to be a guy who contributes offensively,'' Yeo said. "He's going to have to be a guy who's creating and making plays.'' Fontaine said the coaches want to see him refine the details of his game, particularly when it comes to following the Wild's systems.
--Defenseman Matt Dumba had a place in the main locker room, too: a temporary stall with a folding chair. He wasn't complaining. Yeo continued to laud Dumba for working his way out of a jam in Monday's 2-1 shootout victory over Columbus, when Dumba persevered after two lousy periods and righted himself in the third. "That was a big step for me,'' Dumba said. "I calmed myself down and found my game. ... That was huge for me.''
