Netflix Lands Its' App On The PlayStation 3 In The UK … No Service Yet, But Coming Soon
We can't tell you yet that owners of Playstation 3's in the UK can enjoy Netflix on their consoles, but we can tell you that it shouldn't be long. Why? Because the official application has just landed on PS3 consoles in the UK. That in itself should be a clear indicator of a fast approaching official launch.
Currently, if you try to launch the application you'll be greeted with the message below, "We'll be available in the UK soon." So here's to a quick "soon" for our UK counterparts – BRING IT NETFLIX. SN: I would say most users actually enjoy it here in America … and I think you will to.

The Roundhouse, a magnificent Grade 2 listed building reopened this month in Camden, London. This prominent round-shaped building was built in 1846 as a railway turning shed. Later, serving as a gin warehouse and a venue for rock concerts, it was purchased by the Norman Trust and transformed into a new performance and creative center.
The former engine hall was refurbished and equipped suitable as a performance space for a diverse range of events, and the vaulted undercrofts was reinvented into a creative center for young people.
A curved wing which provides support facilities, and a studio theatre connected to the original building by a glazed gallery space were newly constructed with the care to restore original features of the building. 2006 RIBA Stirling Awards will be held here later this year.

The Lake Oswego City Council unexpectedly hired a new temporary city manager Tuesday night who is a former assistant manager with Lake Oswego and supported a political action committee that endorsed the city's new mayor and two of its new councilors.
The decision to appoint Tom Coffee to the job, effective Wednesday, came without warning to the audience and two city councilors.
"There has been a change in the city council and it's my feeling...that Tom has the qualifications that we need to go in the direction we're going," said Mayor Kent Studebaker.
Studebaker leads a new council majority that promised a new direction for the city in the run up to the November election.
Studebaker and Councilor Karen Bowerman explicitly listed Coffee as endorsing them in campaign information. Although he's not listed on the website as a supporter of the Lake Oswego Citizens Action League (LOCAL), campaign finance records show Coffee gave an $136 in-kind contribution to the PAC. LOCAL endorsed Studebaker, Bowerman and Skip O'Neill, who joined Councilors Jeff Gudman and Mike Kehoe in the majority on the council Tuesday that voted to give Coffee the position until July 12.
The council stipulated that his term could end any time during that six-month period, however.
Lake Oswego has been without a permanent city manager for nearly a year and will begin the process of conducting a search for a new one immediately. On Tuesday, the council gave the go ahead to start gathering bids from search firms that will help recruit candidates.
David Donaldson, who was appointed as interim city manager last February, will move back to his role as assistant city manager starting Wednesday. Donaldson took over after former city manager Alex McIntyre left Lake Oswego to become city manager in Menlo Park, Calif.
Councilors Donna Jordan and Jon Gustafson voted against the majority Tuesday in appointing Coffee and questioned the mayor and other councilors on what they called a decision that was done in secret.
"The problem is I haven't had the opportunity and the citizens haven't had the opportunity to review his credentials," Gustafson said. "And in one motion tonight we're going to hand the city administration over to him?"
Studebaker said it was necessary to keep Coffee's appointment under wraps because he didn't want to it to undermine Donaldson's ability to do his job. If Lake Oswego's staff had known Donaldson would be replaced, it might have affected whether they listened to him and took his directions seriously, Studebaker said.
Jordan said she was encouraged at last week's city council meeting when Studebaker talked about openness and transparency for the council. "But unfortunately I feel like I'm part of a palace coup this evening," she said. "This does not at all pass the smell test for me for transparency or good operation of city government."
When asked about hiring Coffee and his ties to the LOCAL political action committee, Studebaker immediately pointed to Coffee's experience. According to his resume, Coffee worked in various positions with Lake Oswego from 1991-2001, including as planning director, community development director and assistant city manager. He also worked in Corvallis in those same roles and was the community development director in Tigard for four years. His most recent position was in West Linn, where he worked as a consultant on issues relating to the Stafford area from 2009-2010.
"You can't find anyone anywhere who has better knowledge of Oswego issues and the surrounding community," Studebaker said.
He complimented Donaldson in doing a fantastic job under difficult circumstances, and said he's glad Donaldson will continue with the city as assistant city manager.
Donaldson, who was hired by Lake Oswego in 2006, said he was happy for the opportunity to work in the city manager role and understood why the council chose to appoint someone new. Although Donaldson previously considered applying for the permanent city manager position, after the meeting Tuesday he said he no longer has plans to do that.
"The council needs to find the right fit for them," he said. "No one elects city managers. They elect city councilors and councilors appoint city managers."
Studebaker and Councilor Mike Kehoe said one of the reasons to put Donaldson back in the assistant city manager position was to put him in better and more fair place to apply. When told Donaldson wouldn't be applying, Studebaker said it was his understanding Donaldson would be. "That's relatively recent then," he said.
Coffee's sudden appointment might also put a dent in the council's future. Gustafson said he was worried after this decision that it might jeopardize a good working relationship among councilors.
"The one thing I thought we all agreed on," he said, "was that we needed to be doing things to bring the city together and not do things to deepen the rift between us."
At it's meeting, the council also set a date to have a public hearing that will address repealing the recently approved urban renewal district in the Foothills area that would fund infrastructure projects in hopes of spurring private development. The previous city council passed the district at its last meeting in December.
Check back Wednesday for a story on that decision.

Jesse Jackson Jr. has been sentenced to 30 months in jail for spending some $750,000 in campaign funds illegally. Upon release, the former congressman will be on supervision for three years.
Earlier today, the judge ruled that Jackson only had to pay the $750,000 forfeiture, but does not have to pay an additional $750,000 back to his campaign fund.
"If the victim is the campaign, the campaign is defunct," Judge Amy Berman Jackson said of her decision.
This morning, Jackson and his wife Sandi, who is set to be sentenced shortly, wept in the courtroom as spoke to the judge and court, apologizing for their crimes.
"Your honor, throughout this process I've asked the government and the court to hold me and only me accountable for my actions," Jackson said.
"I am the example for the whole Congress," the disgraced congressman added. "I understand that. I didn't separate my personal life from my political activities, and I couldn't have been more wrong."
UPDATE 1 (12:16 p.m.): Former Chicago alderman, Sandi Jackson, has been sentenced to 12 months in prison by Judge Berman Jackson for failing to file taxes for some $600,000 in income. Sandi has also been ordered to pay $22,000 in restitution.
UPDATE 2 (12:21 p.m.): The judge would like to see Sandi go to prison first, but says she is willing to discuss the issue. The court has just gone on recess.
UPDATE 3 (1:03 p.m.): Jesse will serve his sentence first, followed by his wife Sandi, according to the judge.
Judge Berman Jackson also recommends that Jackson Jr. serve his sentence at a Montgomery, Alabama prison camp, which is one of two places his attorneys requested in court documents filed Monday. But the final decision on where the former congressman will serve his sentence is determined by the federal Bureau of Prisons.
UPDATE 4 (1:15 p.m.): Jackson Jr. said the following to reporters as he left the courthouse this afternoon:
"I still believe in the power of forgiveness. I believe in the power of redemption. Today I manned up and tried to accept the responsibility for the errors of my ways, and I still believe in the resurrection."
His last comments about believing "in the resurrection" have many political commenters saying that this is not the end of Jackson, who may try to resurrect a political career like a number of disgraced politicians like Mark Sanford of South Carolina and New York's Anthony Weiner and Eliot Spitzer.
Judge Berman Jackson has set a turn-in date for the former congressman of on or after November 1.

Comment Gone Lengthy, CGL V.
knicq posted in on January 22nd, 2007
Posted: November 11, 2004
I seem to have missed out on a lot lately. The two of you make some compelling arguments, let me try and see if I can help put my perspective across too.
Felicity, you have a very valid point. I will be the first one to admit that it is imperative that we put our house in order as a nation. Yet, I feel you are slightly off course.
Despite our flaws and shortcomings as a nation, we have a right to live – to not be bombed into oblivion, because a very powerful and insecure country two continents away from us has been led to believe that we pose a threat to that country. If this American premise to attack Iraq is justified, then perhaps another nuclear country might be just as justified in nuking US for fear that someday the US might nuke them. The reason no-one has done that so far is not because US has "taken them all out", but because factually speaking no country would want to get into a war with the super power. Theoretically, however, a country strong enough to "take US out" should take it out, because US poses a threat to it – as does every other country of the world to every other country of the world. Justifying this premise, thus, is plunging the world into war.
Yes, the US name does seem to come up more often than any other, despite the fact that there are actually some countries in the world where man has inflicted and continues to inflict worse misery on fellowmen. Yet, you must make room for the fact that the US is, if only on paper, the most educated, the most advanced, the most democratic, and the most just country in the world. The US has not become a super power solely because it has the largest stockpile of annihilation material, but also because it has led the world for over a century now in all walks of life. It is the seat of learning, the epitome of civilization and the land of ideals and dreams – or at least until very recently was so. That is the real reason for its being at the top. It is at the top, because the rest of the world looks up to it.
When this leader of the world turns into a vigilante, and then into a bully – the rest of the world cannot be blamed for becoming jittery. When the US, as the leader of human rights, attacks and destroys country after country, and actually takes high moral ground for having done so, the task of the smaller bullies becomes easy. The life of an average human being becomes so much more endangered.
By comparison, when in countries with less than 30% literacy rate, and rampant ignorance crimes against humanity are committed, they do not pose a threat to the rest of the world. They pose a challenge. The economic factors that have allowed these extremist outfits to flourish need to be addressed – not by anyone in particular, but by all who care. So that the next generation is not hijacked in the name of religion. Where I know that in the last 20 years media in our own country has had an intolerant rhetoric tilt, we both know that all and sundry revile the attackers of the mosques – be they sunni victims of shia attacks, or shia victims of sunni attacks. The silent as well as the non silent segments speak out against this outrage. But, that is a different discussion. What I mean to say is these extremist factions do not have any pretensions of, or claims to being the champion of the people. So, their crimes, while no less severe, pale by comparison to those of the US because the US and its respect for human rights were to be the epitome of hope.
Also, the power of those extremist factiosn when compared with this bull gone crazy is nothing in terms of the threat it poses to the world. Hence, one sees more people speaking out against the US actions than others crimes. In short, US actions have a deeper, much deper impact on the shape of things to come than anyone else.
I do not present the extremists' ignorance and intolerance-steeped upbringing as an excuse for their actions – I just hold US in greater contempt because it is better equipped to respect and defend humanity and does not do so. Instead, what one sees it indulging in is the worst kind of selfish manouvers – where a deemed threat to US lives, however preposterous, is reason enough to flatten a country full of people.
The two, Felicity, rooting out ignorance-induced extremism and stopping power-drunk bullyism are not mutually exclusive. However, for the threat it poses to the world, the latter needs immediate attention. Achieving the former might not be of much use, if the latter by then has got out of hands. Addressing the US problem might just make it lots easier to contain the extremism threat. Imagine, even if half the billions spent on bombing Iraq and Afghanistan had been invested helping poorer nations cement their academic institutions and structure, the last three years might have brought a sea chnge in the way the world looked at the US.
Instead, the world looks at this bully gone crazy with fear, apprehension, and despair.

The Times: Centenary faculty, students help community in Big Event
courtesy The Shreveport Times
Written by Michele Marcotte email
SHREVEPORT, La. — With the help of a few garden tools and the energy of several Centenary College students and staff, Shreveport resident Dorothy Jordan stood in amazement Saturday morning as she saw her backyard underwent a transformation.

"I'll finally be able to see through the fence," she said with a grin, as several members of the college's swim team removed bundles of brush from the areas surrounding her backyard fence.
The project was one that many students, faculty and staff undertook Saturday as part of the fourth annual Big Event.
"The volunteers have been very enthusiastic this year," said Kayla Tibaldo, event organizer. "I couldn't ask for a better group."
In addition to residential homes, volunteers assisted community parks and properties, including the Renzi Education and Art Center.
"This is a really great opportunity to help out the community and have fun and get dirty," said Jackson Blankstein, a sophomore math and physics major who spent much of the morning doing various outdoor tasks to open up a space for the center's children to play.
"A lot of these kids don't have backyards so they play in the street," said Jason Harris, a senior communication major. "This will help with that."
The two were part of a group of math students who, similar to the college's swimmers, wanted to help the community as a team.
"How often do you get to do yard work with your friends?" Blankstein asked.
Sophomore Krista McKinney had the same idea when she learned about the Big Event.
"I knew all my friends would want to do it, so I signed up," she said.
McKinney, like many of the other students working at the Renzi Education and Art Center, said she felt good knowing she was helping her community and building relationships with people she might not have otherwise met at the same time.
The Big Event is considered the largest, one-day, student-run service project in the nation.

Patrick Kluvert, Dutch striker who played for Barcelona between 1998 and 2004.
I know fans have mixed feelings about Pat, but talent-wise he's up there with Ronaldo and Romario as one of the most naturally gifted strikers of all time. While he never lived up to his ability and his love of the nightlife often overshadowed his career, he was consistently good for an unpredictable Barcelona and scored at least 15 goals a season every year until his last for the club. He is still the all time top scorer for the Dutch national team and unless Ruud finds the fountain of youth it's very likely he will stay that way for quite a while.
I bring Kluivert up because Casillas recently called him the most impressive player he ever played against. That's pretty damn impressive when you consider the fact that Casillas played against virtually everyone of note in the past decade.
Who is the best striker you've ever faced?
Kluivert has impressed me more than anyone else. We played a friendly at La Cartuja against the Netherlands after the Euro held in their country. We defeated them 2-1. It was Hasselbaink who scored, not Kluivert.

Stuc's Pizza [Chicken Garlic Gourmet & Lowfat Chicken Cheeseless]
We have been blogging about our food experiences here in the Fox Valley for about a month and we realized we have not gone to a single pizza place. So, today we made that our mission after a rough morning. Why a rough morning, you ask? We decided, for some reason, to do a carbohydrate-free day. For one, we both love bread, noodles, rice, and potatoes and we had a THRIVE lunch at a Mexican restaurant in Oshkosh today. It was difficult to pass up the warm tortilla chips and homemade salsa that everyone was munching on.
Lack of Carbs Starts Kicking In
After getting back to Appleton after the event we were both craving sugar, so we swung by Wal-Mart in hopes of finding some sugar free, carb free hard candies to hold us over. Well, that didn't work out so well. Turns out that sugar free candy is still loaded with carbs. We left unhappy and soldiered on to Seth's Coffee to get some work done. Seth's is a hard place to go and not drink some type of amazing drink but we were sticking with the plan. We started working and both of us began to feel a bit foggy. I cannot really explain it, but something was 'off'.' As Todd would put it, we started to get 'Carb-Tarded' from the lack of carbohydrates we had during day. This is when we decided that we need to get some carbs, but not just a few. We wanted enough to put us in a carb induced coma. This lead us to Stuc's Pizza on West College Avenue, just outside of downtown Appleton.
I ordered a personal sized Chicken Garlic Gourmet Pizza. It was chicken, broccoli, zucchini, onions, tomatoes, and sausa blanca. It usually comes with a red sauce, but I had them keep it off. The staff was very attentive and friendly; offering suggestions and being very prompt to refill our drinks. It may have been my carb deprived brain, but this small pizza was a piece of heaven delivered warm and fresh from the pizza gods. All of the (strange) ingredients brought out a robust flavor in the oil infused cracker thin crust.
Lowfat Chicken Cheeseless Pizza
Just getting here was bit of an adventure. First we hit a train right down there by Good Company. Well, we didn't hit a train, but we had one park in the middle of the road for what felt like two weeks (keep in mind we're starving at this point). So, we turn around and decide to head to Luigi's Pizza just north of 41, kind of in the same neighborhood as Beefeaters. Denied. The place was closed. So… we rounded back to where we were in the first place (no train this time) and finally pulled into Stuc's.
Why order one pizza if you can order two, right? Of course. So that's what we did. Slightly delusional from the lack of carbs, I graviated toward something called a Lowfat Chicken Cheeseless pizza. The words "lowfat" and "cheeseless" don't exactly sync up with the word "pizza" but I was willing to give it a shot. I'm glad I did. While the red sauce was a little strong, the hand-tossed crust loaded with savory toppings had me not missing the cheese at all. However, I do have to say I did like the Chicken Garlic Gourmet a bit more than the Lowfat Chicken Cheeseless.

The Curious Case Of The Wholesale Clubs
Walmart's planogram, like those of the home improvement and supermarket chains, regularly incorporates live goods. The space those chains dedicate to live goods is roughly the same between stores, and the volume growers supply to each respective chain is enough to keep their greenhouses full and their operations in business.
Wholesale clubs are a different beast, though. Yes, BJ's, Costco and Sam's Club make up a massive retail channel, but live goods fit into their planograms differently. None of the three has a full-fledged garden center or floral department nationally. Instead, live goods are typically merchandised on wooden pallets and positioned wherever each club can make room for them in stores.
Sure, the live goods approach at the clubs is somewhat perplexing, and the supply challenges their growers face are daunting. But the rewards those growers reap, in many cases, trump the hoops they jump through in supplying the clubs.
"The clubs have figured out a way to bring in product on grower racks, get them in front of customers and sell them," says Scott Giesbrecht, Green Circle Growers sales and marketing manager who works with Sam's Club. "Their display is different and their execution is usually pretty good. In a limited SKU environment, their planogramming is typically strong. They're very serious about space allocation. When space is given, the product will be there."
The Challenges
Because the wholesale clubs employ a different strategy with live goods, the challenges their vendors face are also different than the challenges Walmart's, Home Depot's and Lowe's vendors encounter. Many live goods are sold indoors, for starters, which forces growers to be very particular about the varieties they choose.
"We need to be a little more selective in picking out varieties that can tolerate the indoors, as well as colors that look right under the lights–especially during the spring season when we always have to be ready for a dip in the weather," says Ed Van Hoven, the owner of American Color who serves Costco.
Per-store volume is a bigger issue. BJ's, Costco and Sam's Club don't carry anywhere near the volume of a Walmart or a Home Depot, so each drop growers make is extremely limited. The goal of the clubs is to take in live goods and turn them as quickly as they can. So it isn't unusual for growers to deliver small quantities to stores three or even four times per week. And because growers are making frequent deliveries to clubs, their transportation costs are pricey.
"It can be a challenge logistically because it's all direct-store delivery," says Marc Clark, the executive vice president at Rocket Farms who works with Costco. "It can be a challenge to get your truck to enough locations in a day before receiving closes. You just have to route your trucks properly. You have to get good at it."
Still, as one club vendor who asked to remain anonymous for this story describes, his operation is serving 20 stores across six states. Compare that number to, say, between 20 and 50 Walmarts in a single state, and it's easy to understand why growers gripe or shy away from the clubs.
"The guys who are making these types of accounts really work for them are the ones who have gone all in," the vendor says. "They've invested a lot of time and energy and, in a lot of cases, personnel. They're traveling frequently and assembling innovative ideas and containers. They're offering things that keep their greenhouse in use and shipping workers busy in July, August and January. That's how they're really leveraging this."
The Advantages
No grower-retailer partnership is immune from challenges, of course. If retail buyers ask for 50,000 petunias in white containers one day, change their mind a month later and decide they ultimately want those petunias in gray containers, the buyers are likely going to get what they want.
Surely every grower has a horror story or two about retail buyers gone mad, but growers can overlook those hiccups because each retailer offers its advantages, including the wholesale clubs. Although per-store volume isn't as high at the clubs as it is at other retailers, growers seem to welcome the fewer SKUs focus.
"They're not a complete garden center so they tend to focus on the top two to 10 SKUs in a category–maybe two to six SKUs at times," says Dave Foltz, the new president at Ivy Acres who manages an account with BJ's. "Instead of having everything A to Z, they move a lot of velocity of those two items. That's a big plus just for efficiencies."
Ten-inch poinsettias, 12-inch planters and hanging baskets are examples Foltz cites as items BJ's moves with regularity. BJ's may not move the total volume dollar of other retailers but sales are at least consistent.
"At Christmas time, poinsettias were flat or down at a lot of retailers but they were up tremendously at the clubs," he says. "I think the customer sees they can get a very similar item for extreme value."
Van Hoven says the fewer-SKUs approach works for Costco, as well.
"One of the advantages is that Costco does not run many SKUs, therefore the SKUs they do run are in large volume and very efficient in production and shipping," he says. "They also run top-ticket items and the items that they run move through very quickly. The volume is definitely there on these items and the sell-through is quick."
Another advantage of working with the clubs is their willingness to take on a grower's surplus. BJ's, for example, has purchased product from Ivy Acres that originally was grown for another customer. But if BJ's sees value in that product, Foltz says they'll take it and move it successfully.
"You used to see that a lot but you don't anymore," he says. "There are still opportunities other places but if you're in a Home Depot, there's one vendor in there. Another vendor can't come in and put his product there."
Other Benefits
Although a focus on fewer SKUs and a willingness to be flexible are attractive qualities to vendors, high foot traffic and the opportunity to grow year round are at the core of why growers do business with the clubs. Plus, because the clubs are focused on high quality and unique product, they're more flexible on price than some other retailers.
"If you give them high quality and different, they become less concerned about price," says one club grower. "The price is still important to them obviously–it's probably their first consideration– but they don't approach the business the way other boxes do.
"Other boxes think about footsteps so they can make more margin. The way the club approaches it is how do we present the right image to the customer? How do we communicate the right thing to our member? How do we make them feel? Then we'll talk about how much money we're going to make."
Image isn't everything to the clubs, though. They have, in fact, been trendsetters in some instances. Giesbrecht credits Sam's Club as one of the earliest proponents of a 10-inch poinsettia program, and Clark says Costco clearly wants to differentiate itself with unusual items like the 10-inch plant you can't find anywhere else for such a low price.
"They want to be innovative," Clark says. "They would definitely not like to have the same old thing everyone else has. You want to say you're glad you belong there because it's a fantastic value, and that's why you'll see a plant retailing in there for $14 or $15 and the closest competitor may be $21. That's a real value."
Certain club stores are even improving how they display product, and that's another incentive for growers to work with them.
"BJ's is different than other retailers in terms of service," Foltz says. "They take ownership of the product quite a bit. If we don't get there, they'll make sure a sign gets on it. The product may not be in the best possible spot, but they'll make sure it's on the floor and it's sold."
The clubs are also trying to create live goods opportunities for growers at times other than spring and the short fall mum and winter poinsettia stretches. Their approach to spring is somewhat different, too.
"As far as peak season, they want to make sure item performance for them is key," Giesbrecht says. "In a low-margin environment, item performance becomes paramount. A lot of times you'll see them getting in later–avoiding the risk of early-season shrink–and getting out early. You always want to go for that last dollar, but they really try to avoid late-season markdowns."
Perhaps it's because the clubs don't pursue every last dollar that it's refreshing for growers to work with them. Business at the club level certainly moves fast and every grower is faced with unusual challenges, but the rewards of supplying BJ's, Costco and Sam's Club are too good to pass up for most.
"Their ethics are very high and their word means a lot to them," Clark says. "We work really hard to live up to Costco's standards. It's a partnership to us rather than an adversarial relationship."

Manx ferry company 'denied Douglas link-span use'
A Manx company attempting to establish a new Isle of Man ferry service says it has had its application to use the link-span bridges in Douglas rejected.
The Ellan Vannin Line announced its plans last year to launch a service to rival what it claims is the Isle of Man Steam Packet's "monopoly".
The company said it had received the rejection from the director of harbours and airports on Friday.
A spokesman said without it they "could not offer real competition".
He said: "Only in conjunction with the use of the link-spans would our intended service offer a real competition to the existing monopoly passenger service".
Director of ports Ann Reynolds said: "We are looking to respond to Ellan Vannin Line this week and, dependent on the information they give us and what they think of our answers, then things may or may not progress.
'Developing proposals'
"There have been a number of developing proposals in recent months but only one regarding a possible daily freight operation using a vessel with the side-loading ramp hoping to come into operation in March.
"But this service would use a berth which doesn't require the use of the link-span.
"We have not delayed at any stage - these have been developing proposals and there are details we must get to ensure that there is the possibility to operate any form of service in Douglas harbour.
"I must stress Ellan Vannin Line have not been denied access to Douglas harbour and discussions over a possible passenger service are ongoing".
On Thursday, the company, which is owned by Sea Alliance, announced it would no longer be able to begin its planned ferry service between the Isle of Man and Liverpool because of the government's slow response.
All island operations are currently handled by the Steam Packet Company.

NEW YORK, N.Y. – The 48-game sprint of a hockey season hasn't even started, and NHL players are already winded.
There is very little in terms of a blueprint on how to prep for a lockout-shortened season that will be crammed into just 99 days after less than a week of training camp.
But ready or not, the puck will drop on Saturday and there is a small margin of error as every game now carries extra weight.
"It's not a grind. We want this," said Columbus Blue Jackets president of hockey operations John Davidson, a former NHL goalie. "We've been waiting months for this, to have this puck drop and hear the skates, bodies banging, and guys with lots of energy.
"Coaches have had months and months and months to get ready. It's all good."
Teams aren't flying completely blind because this is the second time a long NHL lockout forced a season to be cut from 82 games to 48 per team. Back in 1995, the New Jersey Devils and Detroit Red Wings made the most of their opportunities and reached the Stanley Cup finals.
"It feels like we just came out of an All-Star break or something like that. We've got the same team," Phoenix Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. "The guys understand what we're trying to do. We don't have to put a lot of time explaining terms or what we're going to do."
The Pittsburgh Penguins are trying to tap into the past to get a leg up now. Player development coach Bill Guerin was a member of those 1995 Devils, who got into the playoffs as the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference and rode the wave to a sweep of the Red Wings in the finals.
"They didn't start well. They were starting under .500 their first segment," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. "They were a team that did have a lot of veteran experience, and we've talked to Billy about his experience, and how the team came back, and how they rotated players in and out of the lineup, how the goalie was played, what the talk in training camp was."
History suggests clubs that rush into this season without having to rely on nametags might already have an edge.
"We can look at that as a positive for sure," Penguins captain Sidney Crosby said. "Guys understand their roles and what they need to do, and there's trust there. Maybe with some newer guys you have to develop that a little bit more, but I would say it can't hurt. It certainly helps a little bit to have that familiarity."
The Buffalo Sabres are in a similar position. Even though they failed to reach the playoffs last season, they are returning a core of players that surged to a 15-5-4 finish that left them just short of a post-season spot.
Only Brad Boyes isn't back with this crew of hungry Sabres. Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff doesn't have to teach his system, so his focus this week has been on conditioning and getting his club ready to jump into game action.
"We're going to concentrate on trying to ramp up tuning the body and getting ready for a real hard compete," he said.
Ruff, who has been behind the Sabres bench since 1997, can harken back to his own experience as an assistant coach in 1995 with the Florida Panthers.
"I remember going into it, you just thought every game meant so much," Ruff said. "I think what you have to really be careful of is not putting too much into the wins, and not putting too much into the losses.
"Try to keep a pretty level ground."
That is an easy philosophy to adopt now, but it is one that can quickly change after a club's first three-game losing streak.
"Every game is like a playoff game," said Devils president and general manager Lou Lamoriello, who has held those posts since 1987. "The game is different today than it was in 1995. It's going to be extremely interesting."
Training camps opened last Sunday, and with only six or seven days before each team was set to begin the regular-season schedule, there was no time for any exhibition games. Some clubs held scrimmages within their rosters or brought in a minor league affiliate to play against just to create some type of game atmosphere.
Teams that have multiple players on their rosters who went to Europe to play during the long lockout might have an extra step against clubs whose players remained home.
"For me not playing, I'm definitely a little winded out there, even after a quick burst up and down the ice," Philadelphia Flyers forward Scott Hartnell said. "You can definitely feel the lungs burning a little bit. I haven't really talked to many of the guys who have played, but they're not bending over their stick and things like that.
"Definitely the first couple of weeks you want to keep the shifts short, not get extended, not do something at the end of a shift so that you're going to get caught out there."
The Minnesota Wild have quite a new look to their team and have been waiting months to show off new high-priced acquisitions Zach Parise up front and Ryan Suter on defence.
With talent like that, the Wild certainly aren't too concerned about getting their new stars comfortable on the ice.
"I think there will be a sense of urgency, definitely," said Suter, who along with Parise signed a 13-year, $98 million deals early in free agency last July. "A shortened schedule, guys know we have to be going from Day 1. In the past, you could get away with having a little slump. But now with the shortened schedule you're not going to be able to."
That is why the San Jose Sharks are confident their slightly altered team will be able to thrive right from the get-go and start to erase the memory of a first-round playoff loss to St. Louis last season.
"We just have to go over a little review," Sharks captain Joe Thornton said. "There is not too many new faces in here. We know what's expected of us. We know what kind of game we're supposed to play. We just have to execute it. Hopefully not having too many new faces will help us."
Sharks coach Todd McLellan is not only relying on team chemistry, he is even keeping line trios together.
Look for Thornton to join Patrick Marleau and Joe Pavelski on the top line, and Logan Couture, Martin Havlat and Ryane Clowe to make up line No. 2.
"We'd like to see some new combinations and we'd like to try some, but right now we're going to go with some familiar faces," McLellan said. "The understanding of how each player reacts in a certain situation allows them to maybe play faster and quicker. We'll go that route to start. I don't know if that will stay that way."
Perhaps until that first two- or three-game losing streak.
"You look at how tight it is in an 82-game schedule at the end of the year, there is not very many points separating fifth from 12th," Wild forward Kyle Brodziak said. "I think everyone imagines it's going to be that much tighter this year. Everyone expects that.
"It's going to be a battle every single night, and more often than we're used to. So it's good. The coaches have a plan, and that's their job. We already know they do, and I'm sure they have a good one.
"We just have to be ready to go to be a part of it."

This week, the Major Spoilers Poll is taking the Robot Wars to a whole new level by pitting robots who look like real women against one another. In the far corner, it's Jamie Sommers (a.k.a. The Bionic Woman)! She's not all robot, but has the power where it counts. In the near corner, an attractive Fembot designed to lure Austin Powers to his death!

Let me get this strait, the original Bionic Woman vs a lowly Fembot? The Fembot doesn't stand a chance. Not even if it wa a seduction contest.
Why didn't you include the original Fembots? They kick the Austin Powers fembot rip-offs' butts all over the place.
