Garth Snow's Top Ten Draft Failures
MattandDan | Jul 19, 2013 | Comments 9
Drafting is hardly a science. You're looking at a bunch of teenagers and are trying to figure in your mind which will be NHL ready today, in a year, in two years, three years, etc. Islander fans like to talk about Garth Snow's vaunted drafting ability, specifically pointing to the 2008 draft which produced 9 NHL players. Surely a benchmark of some sort, likely that a team had enough holes to have 8 roster spots filled from just one draft. To give some credit, one of the guys from that draft that did not make the Islanders roster did manage to catch on with another NHL club. And also to be fair, it was a defenseman, which means that by passing up on offering Jared Spurgeon a contract we got to see years of the likes of Mike Mottau, Milan Jurcina, Steve Staios, and Joe Finley patrolling the Isles blueline.
Islander fans that are fast to praise the 2008 draft are just as fast to dismiss the 2007 draft, which produced not a single regular NHL players. People chalk it up to excuses like Snow learning on the job, the lack of a first round choice that year, some nebulous system that lets Snow get all the credit for good picks but none of the blame for bad ones, no character guys from that year, or whatever other excuse du jour is out there. Those fans also overlook the lack of help coming out of the 2010, 2011, and 2012 drafts, drafts in which the Islanders held not only lottery picks but also extra first round picks and in some cases early second round picks.
As an aside, 70% of the 2008 Islanders draft has seen time in the NHL, which may seem amazing, but that was an outlying draft year- roughly 50% of the 2008 draft saw time in the NHL. Comparing that to say 2010, 20% of players drafted have seen the NHL, yet 33% of the Islanders drafted have seen the NHL. That in-house draft stat is about how many holes exist in your team in the present, not the quality of the drafting. Besides, how many of those guys stick and contribute versus passing through and having a cup of coffee?
Aside from not getting much from the five first round lottery picks Snow has used, diehards also overlook the generally poor job Snow has done in the second round. For every Travis Hamonic there's a…well, actually, that's all of the players that the second round ever produced for the draft master. Scott Mayfield is the same age Hamonic was when he broke into the league, so with how well that's turned out for the Islanders, expect Mayfield to be in Bridgeport this year – Snow logic!
As we've spent a few months analyzing the drafting of Garth Snow, just like other GM's he's had hits and misses. Unlike most GM's, however, he isn't held accountable to achieving a winning standard and just keeps wasting draft picks like they aren't franchise building blocks allotted to repair losing season after losing season. We've looked at his awful drafting in previous pieces like this one where Snow shows the same draft acumen as Mike Milbury, but today we're going to delve into what, in our opinion, are the ten worst, most wasted picks ever offered up from Snow. Limiting ourselves to ten admittedly was tough, and you can feel free to chirp in with your own opinions in the comments section, but ala David Letterman, let us start off with the
10) Jyri Niemi – Snow's first pick towards resurrecting Mike Milbury's Redwoods Defense, this 3rd round pick shows Snow's ability to judge talent and project growth regarding larger defensemen. Be very afraid, 3rd round pick Andrey Pedan.
9a) Drafting Guys with names of other NHL players- It didn't work for Milbury with Brett Lindros, and it didn't work with David Toews or Blake Kessel.
9b) 50% of the college loophole – Blake Kessel and his buddy Jason Gregoire get special props as being 2 of the 4 players to invoke the old CBA's college loophole. That's 30 teams, over a thousand draft picks, and Snow manages to nail down 50% of players who flat out said "that place runs like a circus, and we know that despite having nothing else to compare it to professionally."
8) The dearth at Right Wing- while usually you can pick on a specific player, this time we're hitting a whole position. 7 drafts worth of picks, just 2 rights wings, and only one in the system. Goaltenders have been drafted at 150% more frequency as right wings, yet each team needs 200% more right wings than goalies. What's worse is that one of the right wing's has already been promised a spot on the team despite underwhelming numbers in Russia. But that's not the worst. Kiril Petrov looked at his life in the KHL, where plane crashes kill entire teams, versus the Islanders organization, where management only kills years off of careers, and chose to roll his dice with plane crashes. Bravo on successfully filling an organizational need. For Kazan AK Bars. Guess we'll just stick some centers on the wing. It worked for Josh Bailey, right?
7) The Trade That Never Was – a whole draft for the SECOND best player in the draft? The Philadelphia Flyers made that offer with the Pittsburgh Penguins for Mario Lemieux, who was a generational although ultimately underachieving talent. But for Ryan Murray, who has shoulders ala Calvin De Haan? Yikes. And since you did it once, why not make that offer the next season when Seth Jones, arguably the number one player in the draft, was available at picks 3 and 4? Were you afraid of the media making fun of you AGAIN?
6) Josh Bailey – Snow's first ever first round pick. That's all you have to show for it. Understand that Bailey was supposed to be the second line center putting up points behind John Tavares. Also understand that there are defensemen from his draft class with more points than Bailey. DEFENSEMEN. Then there are forwards with more points as well. Granted that wasn't a strong offensive draft- 4 of the first 5 picks were defensemen- but there were players taken after Bailey who would better fit on this team, like Jordan Eberle or Cody Hodgson that were ranked higher than Bailey, but hey- Snow knows best. Except when it comes to what player to trade for in the draft.
5) Corey Trivino - A big fan of the band sublime, just took one of their songs too far with. Had a nice year in the ECHL – almost a point a game- but Snow has a line he draws. Manslaughter is ok as long as it's punished with community service and probation. But probation for playing kissing a girl while drunk? Zero tolerance.
4) Cody Rosen – maybe Garth was just trying to see if we were still paying attention. He's a character pick, for sure, but the use of the word character when it means you're trying to be funny. If you say, "Come on, Codey Rosen? You guys are really stretching here," just insert Mikko Koskinen and refer to yet another second round pick to not contribute on this team.
3) The entire 2007 draft – WTF. 11 games in the NHL. All from one player. Anyone defending this disastrous draft needs to be dismissed as a dunce.
2) Calvin de Haan – To acquire de Haan, get this:
|Islanders acquire:
|Islanders trade:
|Calvin de Haan
|Chris Campoli
|2nd round pick (37th overall)
|3rd round pick (62nd overall)
|3rd round pick (82nd overall)
|4th round pick (92nd overall)
de Haan was a reach at 12 overall. As per Chris Botta, an assistant GM he spoke with said de Haan would have been available at 16, and likely as low as 20. And to Snow's credit, de Haan has a resume spanning one NHL game. This is the pick that caused us to not pick Cam Fowler and instead draft Nino Niederreiter – two players who have something in common- they aren't playing for the Islanders.
1) Nino Niederreiter – franchise building power forward? Nah, just a lottery pick used to acquire a fourth liner with knee injury and concussion issues.
Ironically, this article started out as the top ten draft picks made by Garth Snow when we realized, there aren't ten helping the Islanders. We had to narrow it down to five, which you can find here. In the meantime, we'll keep on pointing out that until Snow starts wearing big boy pants as a GM, when he has a training camp with actual competition instead of 21 guaranteed contracts coming into camp, we're going to continue to point out that Snow's efforts to improve this team thus far this summer have been a hot pile of more of the same.

Trading up for Bailey gave us Hammer didnt it as well as other like Cizikas? amirite?
I still haven't learned. After reading your piece on the top five picks, I still came here and read this piece. I'll say this: your pieces are entertaining.
You act as if Snow is the only GM who has swung and missed. They all do. Nobody's perfect. But some of your criticisms are confusing.
You made a big deal out of Spurgeon in this piece and your other one. What is the hard-on you guys have for Spurgeon? He's a nice player. He's not a top four d-man. He's Brian Strait. He's got 50 points in 162 games and is a career -4. Not a bad player, not Shea Weber. You beat Snow to death for not signing this guy and signing Mottau, etc. instead. Yeah, I'd rather have Spurgeon, but hindsight is 20-20. Mistakes happen.
You criticize Snow for something he hasn't even done yet: putting a player (Mayfield) in Bridgeport. First off, if you think Mayfield should be in the NHL because he is the same age as Hamonic was when he broke in, then you're wrong. Simply put, not all players are the same. Some take a bit longer. Hammer was likely further along in his development when he was called up than Mayfield is. Doesn't mean Mayfield won't be a good player and a solid pick, just means he's not ready now, or that there are no spots available to put him up even if he was ready. Oh, and there's this other thing about other prospects like Reinhart, Donovan, de Haan, Pulock, Pedan, etc. that are competing against Mayfield for a spot, a concern that Hamonic didn't encounter.
As far as Kessel goes, he was a sixth round pick. How many NHL GM's routinely select NHL regulars in the sixth round? Not too many, if any at all. Its a crap shoot at that point in the draft. Gregiore might have been a third-round pick, which is a high pick to miss on, but its not as if Snow is the only guy who has swung and missed in round three.
As for the positional argument you make, you don't draft players to fill positions. You draft the best available athlete. If RW didn't come up when the Isles selected, then so be it.
Again, I think you guys make some decent points, but the overall tenor of your pieces is that Garth Snow is a step down from a chimp and any fool could do a better job. Well, I know one fool that definitely couldn't: Mike Milbury.
Evidently citing the op's blog plenty will believe it since its what we really feel and it's nifty spotting a blogger that is writing things such as this online to consider!
You guys have a habit of putting Isles fans against Isles fans. Some Isles fans can praise and criticize Snow at the same time. It doesnt have to be one way or the other. I for one have my compliments and my criticisms. Just because I think he did good in one draft doesn't mean I dismiss the ones he didnt do good in. Not all Isles fans are the same, Matt&Dan.
Clearly going through the information everyone will accept it since its correct and it's nice spotting a web guy that's telling this for all to look at

A Sydney radio station secretary has endured threats from jealous One Direction fans after she was asked out on a date by one of the boy band members yesterday.
An overwhelmed Anna Crotti, who works at the front desk of Nova was forced to cancel her date with popstar Zayn Malik after receiving abusive messages on Facebook by fanatical One Direction fans.
The 20-year-old receptionist appeared to catch the eye of all of the band members when they arrived for an interview with breakfast hosts Ryan "Fitzy" Fitzgerald and Michael "Wippa" Wipfli.
Lead singer Harry Styles commented on air that Ms Crotti had "beautiful eyes" while Malik and Niall Horan agreed.
The light-hearted banter about Ms Crotti continued throughout the interview before a member of the band's entourage got her phone number for Malik.
The pair texted throughout the day before Malik asked Ms Crotti out for drinks, she said.
But Ms Crotti, who has a boyfriend of two years, said she became worried when she started getting abusive messages on Facebook from One Direction fans.
"Why would they choose you?" one of the messages read.
"By the end of the day it got so intense. I was getting random girls adding me on Facebook. I started getting girls calling the station and girls giving me a little bit of s---," she said.
"I messaged (Zayn) and said, 'Maybe it's not a good idea we meet up'," Ms Crotti told news.com.au.
"It was just a bit too full-on. I know it's just typical teenage girl stuff, but I don't understand it."
Radio host Fitzy told the website he was "shocked" by the pandemonium.
"I didn't think anything could top that Bieber kid but these guy have," he said.
"Poor Anna. I don't think she knew how to handle it — it was just crazy. She's had mothers calling her saying their daughters are crying and would kill to be in her shoes."

F. Allen Barnes will be the new director of the Georgia Environmental Protection Division if Gov. Sonny Perdue's choice for the job is approved by the Department of Natural Resources board on Wednesday.
Barnes, a former regional U.S. Environmental Protection Agency chief of staff, will replace Carol Couch at EPD. Couch resigned earlier this month to take a teaching position at the University of Georgia.
The DNR board is expected to approve Perdue's choice.
"Allen brings a wealth of environmental and management experience to this position," Perdue said in a statement. "His impressive government and academic background ensures he will successfully lead EPD as they continue to be responsible stewards of our most precious natural resources."
Barnes was Region Four chief of staff for the federal EPA from 2002 to 2005, a posting that covered an eight-state southeastern region.He also taught natural resource policy and law at Mississippi State University from 1996 to 2002. A former Florida state prosecutor, Barnes was also a special assistant U.S. attorney handling, among other topics, environmental litigation. He is a partner in King & Spalding's environmental practice.

Let's see… a Bush era appointee to the EPA, a time when the EPA was notoriously reluctant to go after big business polluters and others causing environmental problems. And he's a King & Spalding lawyer, too? So who would he likely represent in a lawsuit — mom & pop? Duh, no. Big bizness polluters.

They might as well go ahead hand over the rest of state government to King & Spalding.They already control most of it. Lawyers running DNR. Lawyers running EPD. I thought Republicans didn't like lawyers! Our grandchildren will appreciate a ruined landscape, mercury tainted creeks and rivers, poisoned fish and coal smoke in every crevice of their lungs. These K&S lawyers would sell out their own grandchildren's health and welfare for a little current cash from the utilties.

So HAS HE REPRESENTED any of the "bad boys" in any environmental cases?
This would be invaluable information for my community, i.e. environmental justice that we, in SW Atlanta, are dealing with right now, since the Georgia EPD has turned a "blind eye" to the very blatant contaminators (huge pockets) in our neighborhood.

Hes not coming in to try and pollute the state and ill be damned if hes not smarter than that last lady trying to run that job

My little taste

Today I am getting a little taste of what it would be like if I were to SAH rather than WOH. I am off work and DH is working.
I am getting the errands done that I usually do Friday evening/weekends. Really enjoyed doing my grocery shopping when the stores were fairly empty. In a bit I am going out for lunch with DD3.
I do realize that it is just a small taste. If I were home full time I would not be doing laundry, grocery shopping or going out for lunch every day and there are some things that I would be doing that I am not today.

It's actually wholly irrelevant what Spring and Jamblessed post anymore. At this point, it's only the mob response that's relevant and speaks volumes.

What's wrong with Jambles - You've often shortened my name to Chestnut (I prefer Hooligan, BTW).Is that a perjorative?

There is no mob mentality. Her posting style does occasionally provide amusement to board posters and lurkers alike, kind of like MaxChandler, back in the day.

Some of us are snarky, (Bea, Regina, Graphtars, SavCal, and you) and I've got no apology for that, it's part of our DNA and usuallly well within TOS. If you put out something stupid on a public board, be prepared to defend or back down from it. We've all had our moments of back pedaling.

In the past few weeks, Jam and Spring have made a number of uncalled for comments to Empty in the past few weeks. Empty has never been snarky, confrontational or mean spirited, and it just common human decency for any poster to post in her defense if so inclined.

Speaking of kicking a puppy--her kid has cancer, for crying out loud. And she is NOT snarky. Ever. So the crap heaped on her lately is ridiculous...

Frenulum stretching post-frenuloplasty (plus illustration)
July 1 2012 at 3:07 PM
Owen (
no login
Hi Jim & Paul.
Seeing as I don't have a camera, thought I'd be different and draw my condition. As you can see, I had a frenuloplasty 7 months ago. It was a simple and it helped a lot but I'm still too tight. The surgeon who tweaked me made no measurements beforehand and I felt unable to insist for them - he said he had performed hundreds before.
(sorry for the different side-views. It's harder than you'd think to draw your own penis.)
- Frenulum questions -
Prior to the op, my frenulum was thick, tough and white, like gristle. It is now flexible enough to make stretching worth a go, but I'm having some trouble with the two frenulum methods.
With the forward-pulling method my fingers slip out immediately - I can't seem to get a grip on the frenulum itself. When my grip stabilises I feel no tension on the frenulum - only on the 'spout'.
If I retract and then directly pull on the frenulum itself, it stings for the whole day. I'm sure direct pressure is more effective, but should I persevere if there's discomfort?
- Phimosis -
As for phimosis, I had very slow progress with stretching until I started cramming all my fingers in - I see that's been suggested here recently. When I first put 4 fingers in I immediately felt the tension I hadn't been generating before, so please recommend this to others. I'm seeing improvement already after 4 weeks.
- One more question -
If I was fine for sex in my natural state (as I always have suspected) - why are we so driven to stretch and why do you recommend it? I'm 22 and a virgin, but I've had no problem masturbating these last 10 years. Apart from pure curiosity I've been doing this to gain as mobile a penis as possible for my future partners' sakes - but I don't know if that even makes sense. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
- Masturbation -
Finally, I suspect my progress will be slower because I'm abstaining from masturbation. Through experience I have gradually realised that daily/twice-daily orgasm gives me a hangover of sorts, with effects ranging from 'brain fog' to irritability and depression. I link to this in case it interests others --- I quit masturbation 30 days ago and since then I've felt more mental clarity and emotional stability than I have in the past 8 years. I would
have suspected masturbation could be so capricious before I cut it out - I have no religious background and assumed it was natural to ejaculate whenever one felt the urge - but 'possible' and 'natural' are different things.
Thanks for all your dedication here. If you require more details, please say.

Maybe it's the bright color. Maybe it's the fresh, vibrant taste. Whatever the reason, Easter has become inextricably linked to lemon (and chocolate, of course). So we decided to do a refresh of the conventional breakfast cinnamon bun, infusing it with lemony goodness three different ways.
We start by replacing the cinnamon sugar with sugar spiked with lemon zest. Then we fill the buns with purchased lemon curd. Finally, we drizzle our finished buns with icing made from lemon juice and powdered sugar.
The result is vibrantly lemony, but not mouth-puckering. And to keep things fast and easy, we use purchased frozen bread dough as the base for the buns. All you need to do is thaw the dough, roll it out, fill it, then roll it back up before slicing and baking. These buns are the perfect way to start Easter – or any spring – morning.
Another variation on citrus and Easter are dairy-free mini cakes that are rich with olive oil and lemon juice – in fact, 1 cup of each.
The tender cakes – which deliver a delicious punch of lemon – also are covered with strawberry jam, then with a layer of toasted and chopped pecans. Delicious, fresh and simple.
But these cakes also are versatile. If pecans aren't your thing, coat the cakes in flaked coconut or chopped pistachios. If strawberry jam doesn't do it for you, any variety of jam can be substituted. And any other citrus juice can be substituted.
Finally, there's tembleque.
Associated Press food editor J.M. Hirsch stumbled upon this Hispanic pudding that was something entirely different.
Tembleque is a non-dairy Puerto Rican pudding made from coconut milk and cornstarch. It is sweet without being cloying, and thick without being chewy. The clean yet rich flavors of this orange-infused pudding makes it a perfect finish to an Easter dinner.

The Lions took a physical and mental beating yesterday in losing their 24th straight road game 28-to-20 to the New York Giants, dropping Detroit's record to 1-and-5. It was a contest the Lions knew very well they could have won, but critical penalties and turnovers doomed the outcome for Detroit.
The Lions lost quarterback Shaun Hill to a broken left arm late in the first half. Then in the fourth quarter, linebacker Zach Follett was seriously injured in a violent helmet to helmet collision on kickoff coverage. He laid motionless on the field for several minutes before being removed on a backboard. There were no reports of any spinal cord injuries, but Follett is hospitalized for further tests.
Third string quarterback Drew Stanton from Michigan State came in to replace Hill and completed 19-of-34 passes for 222 yards with a touchdown.
Schwartz said the plan going into the Lion's bye week is to have Quarterback Matthew Stafford prepare to return to the starting lineup when Detroit gets back to action on October 31st at home against the Redskins. Stafford hasn't played since suffering a strained shoulder in the Lion's season opening loss at Chicago. The 24th straight road loss ties the Lion's own N-F-L record they set from 2001-to-2003.
Detroit remains in last place in the N-F-C North, where the top two teams both lost yesterday. First place Chicago slipped to 4-and-2 after falling 23-to-20 to Seattle while second place Green Bay lost by the same score to Miami to slip to 3-and-3. And Minnesota stayed in touch by improving to 2-and-3, holding on to beat Dallas 24-to-21.
Houston Texans 35, Kansas City Chiefs 31
Philadelphia Eagles 31, Atlanta Falcons 17
Pittsburgh Steelers 28, Cleveland Browns 10
St. Louis Rams 20, San Diego Chargers 17
New Orleans Saints 31, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 6
New York Jets 24, Denver Broncos 20
San Francisco 49ers 17, Oakland Raiders 9
last night…Indianapolis Colts 27, Washington Redskins 24…
Tonight…Tennessee at Jacksonville Idle yesterday with their bye weeks were Buffalo, Arizona, Cincinnati, and Carolina.

Showed home in 2012 in Roseville, CA 95747.
We were contacted by Leann after requesting information about a property we saw listed on Zillow. She quickly responded to our request. We viewed 4 properties with Leann, and she arranged for showings in 3 other homes out of her area. She referred me to a financing specialist, who, in the end, financed the purchase of one of the out-of-area homes.
Prompt, understanding, honest, and very pleasant to work with all describe Leann. I recommend Leann as a buyer's agent without reservation.… MoreLess

Sold a Condo home in 2012 for approximately $125K in Village 9, Sacramento, CA.
Leann was extremely helpful in a short sale, her persistance and professionalism while dealing with an uncooperative bank made a difficult process much more tolerable. She did a wonderful job.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I have to be honest the free day or free time is not really a big deal and easily forgotten. What they should do is to come up with some customer support reward items. A trinket or relic, something people will see in the bag or bank to remind them of how Blizzard appreciates the patronage and wants to make amends for the problematic gameplay. Simple suggestion with significant logistic involved - but who cares about a free day or even month really - you can't even go out to a decent dinner with a free month refund - maybe McDonalds. But I would remember a cool vanity pet, trinket or cool consumable that turns me into a Troll or something.

SYRACUSE, N.Y.— Gary Barg, founder and editor-in-chief of Today's Caregiver and author of "The Fearless Caregiver," will deliver the keynote address at SUNY Upstate Medical University's Alzheimer's 2008 Conference June 5. The conference runs from 9 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. at Justin's Grill and Conference Center, 6400 Yorktown Circle, East Syracuse.
"The Fearless Caregiver," subtitled "How to Get the Best Care for Your Loved One and Still Have a Life of Your Own," is a step-by-step guide to becoming the ultimate caregiver. One of Barg's primary tenets to caregiving is that family caregivers need to be treated with respect from all members of their loved one's medical teams.
His magazine, Today's Caregiver (www.caregiver.com), provides indepth articles on the science of caregiving and often covers caregiving stories about celebrities, such as Meredith Vieira, whose husband has multiple sclerosis.
The conference also features presentations from Sharon Brangman, M.D., professor of medicine and chief of geriatric medicine, on "What's New and Next in the Treatment of Alzheimer's disease"; Jeanne Bishop, M.D., associate professor of medicine, on "Food for Thought"; and Christine Heagle Bahn, a nurse practitioner, and Cindy Nigolian, a clinical nurse specialist, on "When Hospitalization Happens."
Conference registration fee is $45 for the general public. To register, call 315-464-5167.

Copyright for Authors - Rescheduled
Tuesday, Sept 8, 2014, 3:30 p.m. (This event was postponed from February 2014 due to inclement weather and university closures.)

Lecture and Q&A with an expert in copyright law in research and scholarly publishing
Lisa A.

Scholarly Writing in the Digital Milieu
Monday, Mar. 17, 2014 | 3 p.m.
Math and Science Center E208 (NOTE ROOM CHANGE)
Joint presentation and Q&A with two experts in digital scholarship
As scholars increasingly move their work to the web, and with an estimated third of all scholars now active on social media, conversations that previously took place within campus walls are now open for the world to pitch in. The benefits of using the digital milieu for scholarly communication have been cited, among myriad others, as democratization, widening participation, and engaging new audiences on a global level. But these rapid changes come with challenges, including the way that these new modes for communication change the nature of scholarly writing itself. How does a project go from Twitter to a blog post to an article to a book? Or some other form?
Adeline Koh is director of the Digital Humanities Center and and assistant professor of literature at Richard Stockton College. Her work spans the intersections between postcolonial studies and the digital humanities, 19th/20th Century British and Anglophone Literature and Southeast Asian and African studies, and games in higher education. Koh runs the postcolonial digital humanities website and tumblr blog with Roopika Risam. She is also a core contributor to the Profhacker Column at the Chronicle of Higher Education.
Roopika Risam is assistant professor of world literature and English education at Salem State University. She works to address the intersections of postcolonial studies and minority discourse in the United States and the role of digital humanities in mediating between the two. Risam has contributed to Postcolonial Studies @ Emory, a digital humanities project that provides a home for postcolonial studies on the web, and she runs the postcolonial digital humanities website and tumblr blog with Adeline Koh. She is currently serving on the Modern Language Association's Delegate Assembly.
Grant Writing in the Humanities
Co-sponsored with the Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry and the University Research Committee
Friday, January 31, 2014 | 3:00 p.m.
Joseph W. Jones Room, Woodruff Library
Half-hour panel discussion followed by individual meetings with interested faculty
Faculty in humanities fields are especially encouraged to attend a half-hour panel discussion with Jason Rhody (via Skype), a senior program officer in the Office of Digital Humanities at the National Endowment of the Humanities, and who will speak to what the NEH is looking for and qualities in a successful proposal; Yanna Yannakakis, associate professor of history, who has an impressive track record of securing grants; and Vincent Cornell, Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Middle East and Islamic Studies, who has served on multiple NEH review panels.
In the following hour and a half of the program, the three panelists will individually speak one-on-one with faculty who might have an idea for a grant, or perhaps a proposal in progress, to give feedback and advice. Faculty are invited to sign up in advance for these ten-minute consultations (first come, first served). To do so, please send an email to Allison Adams (firstname.lastname@example.com) by January 28 that briefly summarizes your grant proposal or concept, its current stage of development, and some abbreviated biographical information (no more than 500 words).

Katy Perry without Makeup
Russell Brand decided to tweet a picture of his wife, Katy Perry without any makeup! And the photo was almost immediately taken down. Ha! My guess is that Russell is getting sh*t from wife? Looks like Russell is sleeping on the couch tonight.
Katy without makeup looking puzzled and half-asleep but we say she looks pretty good for being half-asleep. Russell, don't you understand women by now. We don't like getting our pictures taken before we are all camera-ready?
Dog house, dog house, dog house for the new year for Russell. But come to think about it, Katy you look great anyway so perhaps give Russell a temporary break and put him in the doghouse after the new year instead?

That said, I am sure he is still in all sorts of trouble!

A message from megwhat
You and Kel have been to Minneapolis, right? Tell me where I need to eat when I go there for a wedding in February and how cold it's going to be and will I enjoy ice fishing?
I've actually never been to Minneapolis proper.
It'll be cold, no doubt. Mid-teens to low 20s.
Ice fishing is the best kind of fishing you can do in the winter in the upper midwest. Drinking beer is acceptable anytime after 7AM.

Kochi: Kerala was the front runner for IIT, Union HRD Minister Pallam Raju on January 6 said. In the 11th plan, some IITs were granted. They were in various stages of progress. "We need to consolidate and definitely we will look into new requests and I think definitely Kerala is the front runner", he told reporters on the sidelines of a function here when asked about the state's long plea for IIT.
Kerala Excise and Ports Minsiter, K Babu, had urged the minister at the function to consider the state's plea for IIT favourably.
Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, during his visit to Kerala in September for the inauguration of 'Emerging Kerala' investors meet had said the Centre was seriously considering a proposal to set up IIT in the state.

Cubs Get New and Improved Player*
The Cubs dealt fan favorite** and celebrated car jumper, Joey Gathright to the Baltimore Orioles for another favorite*** Ryan Freel today.
This does two things:
• First off, the Cubs now have a player that can play pretty much everywhere, and a player with decent speed. The problem is that he hasn't been healthy in a few years. He only played 48 games last season, and 75 games in 2007. He's already been on the DL once this year as well.
• Secondly, the Cubs get to clear a roster spot today for Randy Wells, and it keeps the feel-good story of year Bobby Scales on the roster for a few more days. But, I feel that with Freel around it probably means Scales is headed back to Iowa at some point.
(*Ok, the title is misleading, because Freel is new, but not really any improvement on the team. **Gathright a fan-favorite is probably the most absurd thing I've written at Grota since joining, but he can jump cars.)
The Cubs aren't gaining any payroll since the O's are send us some cash, and Freel can provide some much-needed utility play that the Cubs lacked during all the injuries. I'm not sure if this will cause a dent, but he's probably better than Gathright, at least with the bat.
Bobby Scales
I might have agreed with you about Bobby Scales pre A-Ram getting hurt. I thought then and still think that it depends on how many pitchers Lou wants in the bull pen. He is still one short of what he had pre-Scales. I think (pure quess work here) Lou will want to pitch hit more than ever with A-Ram out. Scales is a switch hitter who can play multi-positions. My guess is that the 3 options right now are:
1 - give up the extra arm in the bull pen
2 - send the Hoff down and bring up an extra arm (my choice)
3 - send down Scales and bring up an extra arm

Johnharisson has 61 News online.
When you go to the store and try to find something to wear, the decision is not very difficult. As an adult, you know what you like to wear and what is suited for the event you want to wear it to, but this is just as an adult. If you look at teenagers, they have no idea what to wear and they would like to stay and try on just about every item in the store if it can be done.
Thankfully you have to intervene and make sure that your daughter will make the right choice. As a parent it is difficult to allow her to show a little more skin than you would like, but you have to deal with the fact that she is a young woman now. But this does not imply that she should attend any event in her life without wearing the proper clothes.
Prom dresses are among the most difficult choices, because this is an event that she will remember for the rest of her life. No matter what teenager you talk to, the answers will be the same: they have to look their best that night. And this is where you come in.
Supporting your daughter through one of the most difficult choices of her life might be exhausting for you, but once this will be over, you will not have to worry about it no more. If she is looking for the best prom dresses on the market, you should be right by her side trying to guide her choices and to be sure that she does not go over the budget you set.
What are you looking for in a prom dress 2012? Do you want glamour? Do you want style? Do you want to show some class, something most other teenagers have no idea about? If you want to make a good choice, you should try shopping online.
The internet provides all the answers you are looking for and when it comes to prom dress 2012 designs, this is where you will find the most. But as a parent you need to be sure that you do not send your daughter dressed in a sack, because you don't want her to show anything.
All the things mentioned afore are important when you want to find the prom dress 2012 for your daughter, because this is the only way she will look amazing. But apart from this, you should also take into account a lot of other aspects as well.
For instance, a prom dress 2012 should be made of high quality materials. The better the materials are, the more certain you can be that it will not be ripped to pieces while dancing. The quality of the materials will also improve the way the dress looks.
The prices you pay are also important. Your daughter might not be interested in how expensive prom dresses are since she is only focused on looking good, but you should not be bankrupt just because you want your daughter to look nice at this event.
The internet is the one with the answers, because this is where you will be able to find high quality prom dresses that will satisfy all the demands of your daughter and you will find them for a fraction of the price you would pay in traditional stores.

Daily Journey - July 27
July 27
Thought from Today's Old Testament Passage:
[2 Chron. 9] This passage of story had been largely considered in the Kings; yet, because our Saviour has proposed it as an example to us in our enquiries after him (Mt. 12:42), we must not pass it over without observing briefly, 1. Those who honour God he will honour, 1 Sa. 2:30. Solomon had greatly honoured God, in building, beautifying, and dedicating the temple; all his wisdom and all his wealth were employed for the making of that a consummate piece: and now God made his wisdom and wealth to redound greatly to his reputation. The way to have both the credit and comfort of all our endowments and all our enjoyments is to consecrate them to God and use them for him. 2. Those who know the worth of true wisdom will grudge no pains nor cost to obtain it. The queen of Sheba put herself to a great deal of trouble and expense to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and yet, learning from him to serve God and do her duty, she thought herself well paid for her pains. Heavenly wisdom is that pearl of great price which is a good bargain to purchase by parting with all that we have. 3. As every man has received the gift so he ought to minister the same for the edification of others, as he has opportunity. Solomon was communicative of his wisdom and willing to teach others what he knew himself. Being taught of God, freely he had received, and freely he gave. Let those that are rich in wisdom, as well as wealth, learn to do good and be ready to distribute. Give to every one that asketh.

The Stanley Cup is hockey's Holy Grail.
Hundreds came out to Mercyhurst University Saturday afternoon to see the Stanley Cup,
for themselves.
Rich Patti has been a hockey fan for his
entire life; on Saturday, he got to see t he cup for the first time.
"I never thought I would ever in my life;
get to be that close to the Stanley Cup. It's really cool to see Lord Stanley
in person," he said.
People from Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Cleveland all traveled to Erie this weekend to see the cup, which is in
town for 1 night only.
"It's pretty amazing, I never thought I
would ever touch the Stanley Cup and it feels pretty good," said lifelong
hockey fan, Thomas Schable.
Preston Reilly works for Mercyhurst University's Student Union. "I've been skating since I was 4 and this was
the first time to see it, so I'm definitely a kid in a candy shop," he said.
Fans were told they could touch the cup
and even kiss it, but in order to hold the cup above your head, you have to win
The "keepers of the cup"
enforce those rules. Hall of Fame
keepers take the cup out on the road and are with it at all times.
Mike Bolt has been a keeper of the cup
for 15 years. "We're bringing the
greatest trophy in the world to the greatest fans in the world," he said. "We're on the road 320 days a year. There's always a representative from the hall
of fame with it at all times."
Mercyhurst Athletic Trainer, Mike Folga's
name is on the cup.
"That happened in 1994 when I was
head equipment manager with the New York rangers," he said. "I'm glad the University took the time to
include me in what they're doing. It's also
a fund raising project for the Wounded Warriors, you know, that's a little
special to me too. I have a brother-in-law
that was over as a major in Afghanistan."
Donations collected at Saturday's game
will benefit the Wounded Warriors project, which provides support to wounded
You can still see the cup tonight at Mercyhurst Ice Center in between periods at the 7 o'clock game.

I'm willing to fork out a pretty penny when it comes to eating food. It's a big part of my social life, the noms. I'm both a gourmet and a gourmand. So if presented with a cheeseburger worth killing for, I have no problem shelling out some change. Because cheeseburgers are delicious. But even the savviest foodie among us has to draw the line somewhere. $5,000 for a melon, for example? That's insane.
We've talked before about pricey burgers and bank-busting Christmas dinners. Now let's check out some other pricey food items from around the globe. Their rarity makes them all hot commodities to the insane and the wealthy. Emphasis there should be on the word "insane."
Expensive foods exist all over the world, not just in the United States. Exhibit the Densuke Watermelon. This Japanese specialty is grown only on the island of Hokkaido, hence its extreme rarity. Still, with prices going as high as $6K, that better be some damn tasty watermelon.
2. The Zillion-Dollar Frittata
Breakfast is a key part of your day. How it begins is also a nice indicator as to how the rest of your day is going to go. If you start with 10 eggs, a lobster tail, and 10 OUNCES OF CAVIAR, it will probably be an exceptionally costly day. Only in New York. Prepare to shell out $1K for the pleasure of this dish.
Uh, I don't know if James Bond would have any time for this nonsense. This pizza will set you back almost $3K. What are you paying for? Veal medallions, a cognac soaked lobster tail, venison -- and that's just the beginning. I think I'll stick with my local pizza dive, thanks.
Why pay $1K for ice cream at New York's Serendipity? I can explain this sundae to you in three words: Edible. Gold. Leaf. Yeah. It's intense. It also requires 24 hours notice to whip one up. And fair enough.
This one's the 'bargain' of our list, coming in at just $230 per pound. This Indonesian coffee is exceptionally rare and super coveted among its devotees. Me? I'm cool with the free stuff they hand out at the office.

Lmao SarahHall!! These are ridiculous!!
I love coffee, but regardless of price, I would not try Kopi Luwak. Why would anyone want to drink coffee from beans that have already been digested? BLECH!
This is disgraceful we have people starving to death in this world and people are doing this. I am disgusted.
Taniamorse, my sentiments exactly! And you know what happens to the beans that have been digested, right? Hint: they don't kill the animals to get the beans.

U.S. States Increasingly Turning To Internet Gambling
18 May, 2012
Late last year, that law, the Interstate Wire Act of 1961, was the subject of an Obama administration memo clarifying that the act effectively allows most states to authorize forms of Internet gambling other than sports betting.
According to U.S. Internet Gambling Regulatory Tracker, GamblingCompliance's proprietary legislative monitoring service, nine states have considered whether to legalize or prohibit some combination of Internet poker and casino gaming in 2012, up from seven states last year.
So far this year, two states have introduced legislation authorizing poker, six states have introduced legislation authorizing some combination of poker, casino gaming and lottery, and one state has enacted legislation expressly prohibiting Internet gambling.
In 2011, by contrast, three states introduced legislation authorizing poker, three states introduced legislation authorizing some combination of poker, casino gaming and lottery, and one state enacted legislation authorizing poker.
Meanwhile, the number of states mulling entry into interstate or international Internet gambling compacts increased, as the administration's Wire Act memo eased concerns about the legality of interstate data transmissions relating to forms of gambling other than sports betting.
This year, legislation in five states included provisions addressing cross-border compacting, up from three states in 2011.
Notably, the number of states considering whether to place Internet gambling operations under governmental control has also increased due largely to growing interest from state lotteries in Internet gambling expansion.
This year, legislation in three states included provisions giving partial or full control over Internet gambling operations to a state lottery or a state-run corporation. Such provisions, however, did not appear in any Internet gambling legislation introduced last year.
Just as in 2011, legislative activity this year has not been confined to a particular region of the country, though lobbyists interviewed by GamblingCompliance believe that the enactment of legislation in Delaware or New Jersey could touch off a lightning round of Internet gambling adoption in the densely populated Northeastern corridor.
According to data from U.S. Internet Gambling Regulatory Tracker, Internet gambling is authorized in two states or territories and expressly prohibited in nine states.
Currently, 19 state legislatures are still in session, and Internet gambling legislation is pending in four states.
Looking ahead, one state is set to imminently award the first Internet poker license in American history, while another is preparing to roll out an express Internet gambling prohibition.

A couple of years ago at Field Day, Bruce, KT8TD, tried to show me how to coil cables properly. using the "over-under" technique. Using this technique helps prevent cables from getting all tangled when you uncoil them. I really was too tired at the time to pay much attention, and I never really learned the trick.
Yesterday, though, someone on Twitter posted a link to a Boing Boing post that describes the technique and links to a YouTube video (below) that shows you how to do it. I practiced with some tangled cables I had laying around the shack, and now think that I can coil with the best of them. Try it. It really works.
