All The Right Moves
It's all starting to make sense. The Steelers have not made the playoffs the past two seasons. Those two years have seen the team part ways with players who were integral to a sustained run of success that resulted in a pair of Super Bowl championships.

The Honorable Caroline Upton Steps Into the Spotlight of November 8 Looking at Lunchtime Talk at the Clark
For Immediate Release
November 01, 2007
Beautiful and intriguing, the painting of The Honorable Caroline Upton by Sir Thomas Lawrence has graced the cover of Bantum Classics's Emma by Jane Austen.

The Clark's assistant curator of education Danielle Steinmann will lead this free half hour gallery talk.
The painting of the trendy and fashionable Caroline has been joined by a painting of her sister, The Honorable Sophia Upton, also by Lawrence, on long term loan to the Clark. During Steinmann's talk, discover similarities and differences between the two works, find out the bizarre manner in which Sterling Clark acquired The Honorable Caroline Upton, a work he described as "good and attractive," and speculate on which sister was the object of the artist's secret crush.
The Looking at Lunchtime gallery talk series continues on Thursday, December 13 with Michael Cassin, the Clark's curator of education, discussing the works of Thomas Gainsborough. The talks take place at 12:30 pm on the second Thursday of every month. Attendees may purchase food from the courtyard café or bring a bag lunch to enjoy before or after the gallery talk.

Avery Baker never thought she'd leave Manhattan, until she inherited her aunt's old Maine cottage and found her true calling—home renovation. But when Avery goes to work restoring a condominium, she discovers it's another condo owner who's been condemned...
Avery and her partner, Derek, are fixing up a cute little condo in homey Waterfield, Maine, hoping for a quick turnaround and some extra money. It seems like a simple project—and Avery is looking forward to using her big-city experience with small spaces.
But they didn't expect to have their every move watched by the resident busybody in the condo, Hilda Shaw, who loves snooping on everyone's comings and goings. When the busybody becomes a dead body, Avery suspects foul play. Soon she's doing some snooping of her own—and it seems everyone in the complex has a secret. Could one of them be worth killing for? Avery needs to work fast, before someone decides to fix her...for good.

|Home Eco Pro Air Drive Compact Hand Brush EP61013
Order the Eco Pro EP61013 On Vacdepot!
The Air Drive Compact turbine powered hand brush with it's clear top housing and bright green bristles is often labeled the "Power Paw" in reference to one of it's most popular functions - cleaning pet hair from furniture. The Compact model measures just 6.5 inches long and 4.5 inches wide which allows it to fit and maneuver into tighter spots than the larger turbo tools. At just over 2.5 inches tall the Air Drive Compact can fit into and under small areas which need cleaning and can be hard to reach.
In addition to it's smaller size the Air Drive Compact has two unique features to enhance cleaning on multiple surfaces. On carpeting with loose pile the Air Drive Compact's soft knobby teeth help to separate the fibers for brushing and provide a groomed appearance. On smooth textiles like microfiber fabric the knobby teeth plate can be removed for a smooth bottom plate and more brushing action against the surface. The snap-on shoe plate it easy to remove and attach when needed.
The Air Drive Compact also features a supplemental airflow intake mounted on top of the nozzle. When cleaning against loose flat surfaces many turbine drive nozzle will stop rotating as the airflow through the tool which also drives the brush is cut off by the surface being cleaned. To keep the brush roller spinning the Air Drive Compact nozzle lets airflow enter the system from the top of the nozzle info the brush roller chamber when the airflow path under the nozzle is restricted. Better brushing performance on all surfaces gives you faster cleaning, especially on plush pet bedding. The Air Drive Compact nozzle is made from a durable polycarbonate housing with soft nylon bristles and a fiberglass reinforced cogged belt drive.
Sold 1 each, black base with clear hood and green color nylon bristles. Fits standard 1.25" hose handles and wands.

Hey guys I was just researching about H2O Wireless, but this forum's search engine wont let us search 3 characters terms so I couldnt find anything. However; I did found this on modmyi forums. There is a dude who says even 3G speed works where att's 3G does as well. I use a 3GS with T-Mobile which as I guess all of us know 3G speed doesnt work at all. He also says.. "Also there is no particular limit to data on H2O, they say its 50MB but I went ahead to tested it on 3G, downloaded 230MB last night, My data still works fine! and since its prepaid all they would do is stop your data for a particular month if you go over but it hasn't happened yet."
I wonder if any of you guys is currently using their service with any locked/unlocked iPhone. I wanna get an i4 already but if this will really work that means I can buy it brand new instead of used/unlocked. I pay 75 a month for unlimited calls, text n data on TMobile, but if I can get some good references on this company I am definitely switching over.
If you may ask yourself why didnt I just register at modmyi forum, its because I dont like signing up on more than one forum for each interest. So Id rather bring info from other forums by googling to make my chosen forum better.

Baby Name to Consider: Emberley
It has sounds in common with other names being used. It has a positive association in the artist Ed Emberley.
What do you think? Remember, the point of a "name to consider" isn't so much "Is this name to my own personal tastes?" as it is "Does this seem like A NAME, with potential for use by people whose naming style it WOULD be?"

Reminds me of Kimberly. I do think it sounds like a name. It might be mis-heard a lot though.
- April 6, 2011 at 10:06 AM
I met a cute little girl named Pemberley, NN Pem and loved it!
- April 6, 2011 at 10:10 AM
It reminds me of Kimberly too - before I read Kacie's comment.
I can very much see people choosing Emberley for a baby. I had Ember on my 2005 name list and the -ley ending seems quite popular these days - so Emberley seems like a natural progression.
- April 6, 2011 at 10:12 AM
My friends named their daughter Emberly, and while I wasn't a fan at first (I thought it sounded too made-up), it's grown on me. I would now definitely consider it a "real name," for all the reasons you mentioned, as well as the similarity to Kimberly, which is definitely an established NAME. Added bonus: the ever-popular Emmy as a nickname.
- April 6, 2011 at 10:13 AM
- Abby@AppMtn said...
Yes, I do think we'll be hear Emberly and Emberley.
I don't mind them, actually - they strike me as closer to Romilly or Delaney. No reason they can't be names - they just haven't been.
- April 6, 2011 at 10:25 AM
I actually think that Emberley seems more like a name than Ember. I think the name would be prone to a lot of "huh?" reactions, because it sounds so similar to Kimberly. That's immediately where my mind went when I saw the title of this post. Oddly enough, though, Emberley and Kimberly invoke totally different reactions from me. For example, if I were to assign a color to each name, Kimberly would be a shocking (think eighties Barbie) pink, while Emberley would be a softer, more natural tone, like fall colors.
- April 6, 2011 at 10:32 AM
- Kristi said...
I think it definitely could be considered a "real name". After reading it I'm actually surprised I've never heard it before. I'm kind of fallin gin love with it as a type.
- April 6, 2011 at 10:35 AM
I actually know someone in her late 30's named Emberley.

My daughter's name is Ember (16 months) so Emberley seems like a very reasonable name to me!
I imagine an Emberley would run into the same issue that we do with Ember: people are quick to assume Amber. So, my husband and I are introduce her as, "Ember. With an E." People stare blankly for a nanosecond before it clicks and then they almost always say, "Oh that's beautiful."

I think Emberley is a great name. I secretly still love Kimberly, even though it was so popular in the 70s/80s. I prefer the full name to the nickname "Kim".
Emberley would lend itself to more nn's, such as Em, Emmie, and Ember.

I have two reponses, which helpfully contradict each other.
1. Emberly totally sounds like a name, and an appealing one, besides.
2. Emberly also sounds almost exactly like how my name (Emily) used to be mispronounced as a child growing up on the fringe of Appalachia. The actual mispronunciation was Embly, and the people who said Embly were also the people who said chimbley, chicken pops, and liberry.
I HATED Embly.
(though now, through the mists of distance and nostalgia, it actually seems like an appealing nicknamey name in itself)

I think it's a name and would make a great girls name.

I think it sounds a little "made up" but all names probably sounded like that at some point, right? So, yes, it sounds like a name.
- April 6, 2011 at 11:54 AM
- christa said...
I can see someone using it, and I wouldn't say "That's not a real name."
So yes, it sounds like a name - though a recently made up one.

- Swistle said...
Anonymous 10:36 a.m.- Neat! Did she ever say how she got the name?
- April 6, 2011 at 12:58 PM
It sounds like a combo of Emily and Kimberly, and I think it sounds like a non-made-up name.
- April 6, 2011 at 1:14 PM
I love it! I like Ember as a given name and nickname (esp. for Remembrance, November, etc), and Emberley makes it seem much more "girly." I've actually seen it spelled both Emberly and Emberleigh, too, before. The -ly seemed more "normal-looking" than -ley, and while I'm not usually big on alternatives to ley/ly...I thought the -leigh ending was really cute.
Also...Pemberley is awesome. Jane Austen FTW.
- April 6, 2011 at 1:20 PM
The little Pemberly I know was named after a location in a Jane Austen novel.
Very cute and original!
- April 6, 2011 at 2:14 PM
- Lynnette said...
The name makes me think of the Terry Pratchett book "Witches Abroad", which is a Discworld version of the Cinderella story. The Cinderella character is named "Emberella", which is both pretty and ridiculous. Emberley sounds like a name to me, and not even all that recently made up.
I think it sounds lovely and sophisticated.
- April 6, 2011 at 3:25 PM
- Lynnette said...
I also think it brings to mind "smoldering", which reminds me of names like Arden and Blaise. These sound like excellent sibling names for Emberley.
- April 6, 2011 at 3:31 PM
IMO, it sounds too made-up, not really a name. But, since it's just Kimberly without the K, it is still relevant and familiar.
- April 6, 2011 at 4:52 PM
- Emily said...
I LOVE it. But names like Emma, Amelie, Everly, and...Emberley, don't tend to go well with MY name: Emily. Alas.
- April 6, 2011 at 6:04 PM
Should fit right in with all the 'new' names that keep appearing for the sake of 'uniqueness'. Has the advantage of possible multiple spellings since it's not an established names. Let's see:
But if Emberley catches on in a big way that will be its demise because uniqueness is everything with this type of name.
And look, Emberly already is being used:
SSA baby names 2009:
Emberly - 32 baby girls
Emberlee - 15
Emberleigh - 8
Emberlie - 6
And it's 'cousin" Emberlynn 33
Emberlyn 27
Emberlin 6
Then there's Kemberly 17
And the very close Amberly, etc.:
Amberly 151 baby girls in 2009
Amberlee 59
Amberley 15
Amberleigh 12
Amberlie 7
Amberlea 5
And of course, Amberlyn 59; .....lynn 43; .....lin 15
And Kamber and Kamberly (or was it Kamberlin?)
"Does this seem like A NAME, with potential for use by people whose naming style it WOULD be?"
Emberley is already in use, just not too much with that exact spelling. As for people whose naming style it would be -- what would you call that style??? There are many, many names we hear these days that fit that style, whatever it's called.
- April 6, 2011 at 8:48 PM
- beyond said...
It instantly reminded me of Kimberly. The Kimberly of the 1970s might be the Emberly of today. the nn Ember is familiar thanks to Amber. Not my style, but it does truly sound/seem like a real name.
- April 7, 2011 at 3:46 AM
It made me think of Amberly, then Kimberly. I think it's a very cute and girly sounding name.
The related progression that came to mind for me was... Emberley, Kimberly, Kimber, Kambria - which is my cousin's name. When I was younger I thought Kambria sounded made up, but now I like that it's unique and still somewhat familiar. I also like the nickname potential - Kam.
- April 7, 2011 at 12:19 PM
- The Wonder Worrier said...
It has a familiar sound to it that totally makes it sound like a legit name. And though it isn't what you're asking, I do feel the compulsion to add that it's not my naming style... only because I tend to like names that are pretty much in the Top 10 - 20 of any given year, hahaha. I like the overly familiar/everyone already knows them names.
But, for people who like something a little more unique/trendy, then I think this is a great option, and it's a very soft and feminine name. I like the sound of it, even if it's not a name I'd personally choose.
- April 7, 2011 at 9:23 PM
- Kimmy said...
I think it sounds like a real name - probably because I immediately thought of Kimberly (which is my name).
- April 10, 2011 at 12:39 PM
- Meg said...
Makes me think of Camberley.
or someone saying Emily with a cold lol.
Seriously though as it sounds like so many other names, it seems like a name ( if that makes any sence!)
- April 11, 2011 at 5:02 AM
- Catherine said...
It's funny you should ask...my fiance and I have Ember in mind for our future daughter. He and I have VERY different tastes in names. He's punk rock and is passionate about fire dancing and other incendiary performance art; I spent about 15 years in a medieval re-enactment society, read poetry and listen to folk music...oh and I have a 10 year old daughter named Stephanie Elizabeth. For us to agree on the first girl's name I suggested floored me, to be honest.
It sounds punky and modern enough AND ties in with his pyromania while still having an elegantly poetic feel for me. For a middle name, his grandmother just died and he was very close to her, so seriously thinking of Suzanne. Grandma's name was Susan but the name Susan just makes me twitch. Plus I love the Leonard Cohen song. I could see myself singing it to her as a lullaby.
I'm pretty sure I can sell him on Ember Suzanne.
(Stephanie was named partly for my favourite singer, Stevie Nicks, and partly because I loved that it was French and meant Light. Elizabeth is my middle name. I wanted her to have a name that was hers for a first name and then a family name to fallback on in the middle.)
- April 12, 2011 at 6:02 PM
I have an Emberly. Her nickname is Emmy and she is four now, and I haven't had any difficulty with people mispronouncing it or anything. She loves her name, and I have had a lot of positive feedback, it is pretty and different, but not too different.
- November 16, 2011 at 4:55 PM
I have an Emberley and we love her name! Sometimes people, especially of the older generation think its Kimberly, but I correct them graciously. We call her Emmy as a nickname which imo is become way too popular ;)
- March 30, 2012 at 11:05 AM
- Stephanie Keffer said...
I had my daughter in February and I named her Emberley Noelle.
Emberley is a variation of Kimberly for my friend that passed away and Noelle after her dad's birthday of Christmas eve.

Wonderful irony---
It's interesting that the power surge that sucked the energy from Superdome, actually pumped some life into the game it was hosting. The Ravens were about to run away and hide until the 'Niners got a 34-minute reprieve. San Francisco then scores 17 points in four and half minutes after the lights come back on and we've got a ball game.
The big winner---
In a contract year, Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco comes out of the Big Easy to get an easily big—ok, huge---new deal. The Super Bowl MVP wants a deal in the $20 million range (don't we all) and he's likely to get it. I've never been a huge fan, but who couldn't have been impressed with 11 touchdowns and 0 interceptions. Simply put, his is one of the greatest post-seasons in in NFL quarterback history. Pay the man.
Not my style, but…
..Beyonce nailed halftime, didn't she? I'm not sure whether she's more beautiful or talented—the combination certainly makes her unique. Alicia Keys wasn't far behind on the National Anthem, her use of the piano was different and it enhanced a powerful performance.
Is it just me---
Are there really still people who only watch the Super Bowl for its commercials? Are they really that good that non-football fans would tune in? In one man's opinion—the top 5:
Paul Harvey poem—God made a farmer. Ram Trucks used a voice over from the deceased broadcaster taken from a speech he made at a Future Farmer convention in late 70's. Simply, but beautifully shot---it made the strongest impression on me---along with
Oprah for Veterans/Jeep/USO -Unless you have experienced it personally we can never truly appreciate the sacrifices of our women and men in uniform.
Budweiser –A man and his horse. Man raises horse; they become fast friends until he sends it off to Bud to become one of its famous Clydesdales. Three years later, man goes to see horse at parade—horse remembers him etc. Cute, sentimental and, apparently, part of it was shot in Kansas City.
Out on the town with Taco Bell - I liked the originality of the ad—old folks escaping the rest home for a wild night out. Don't all those nights end up at Taco Bell? I'm not sure if I thought this was really funny, or that I'm just beginning to relate to the ages of the characters.
The next big thing from Samsung. - Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen—what more do you really need?
The Tide commercial with the Joe Montana stain got a chuckle, as did the first GoDaddy.com spot with the 'great idea' winners on an airplane. However, the other GoDaddy.com effort with the supermodel and geek making out was just plain wrong. And can we please be done with the talking babies? All in all I thought trips back to the fridge were far better than sitting through timeouts yesterday.
Tap dancing---
The power outage in the Superdome left CBS without it's announce team of Jim Nantz and Phil Simms for about 20 minutes, putting the onus on sideline reporters Steve Tasker and Solomon Wilcots until they could get their on sight studio crew up live. Tasker is a Kansas native who grew up in Leoti, before going to Northwestern and the Buffalo Bills.
High five---
Congrats to the Wichita State women on their 9-0 start in the Missouri Valley Conference. I got to broadcast the game against Illinois State last Friday night and really enjoyed it.

Bombs Go Off At Boston Marathon! (Headquarters On Lockdown After Blast Near Race Finish Line)
Description: " Two explosions shattered the euphoria of the Boston Marathon finish line on Monday, sending authorities out on the course to carry off the injured while the stragglers in the 26.2-mile trek from Hopkinton were rerouted away from the smoking site of the blasts. Competitors and race organizers were crying as they fled the chaos. Bloody spectators were being carried to the medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners. "There are a lot of people down," said one man, whose bib No. 17528 identified him as Frank Deruyter of North Carolina. He was not injured, but marathon workers were carrying one woman, who did not appear to be a runner, to the medical area as blood gushed from her leg. A Boston police officer was wheeled from the course with a leg injury that was bleeding." - AP

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Your Rating
Edmonton-based dance artists Ainsley Hillyard, Alida Nyquist-Schultz, Alison Kause and Kate Stashko will take your breath away in this exploration of states of "fracture."
The contemporary dance show features two abstract works teeming with visual poetry. Although its vastly non-linear nature will not be everyone's cup of tea, the beauty of this style is always its openness to interpretation.
Pod begins with Nyquist-Schultz and Hillyard lying beneath a large billowing plastic sheet that covers the entire stage. After they gradually punch their way out, one dancer is repeatedly lured back to its secure depths while the other breaks free. According to the program, Pod depicts "an organism that fractures into two distinct entities." Yet it could also suggest destructive forces — addiction comes to mind — that threaten to consume lives with their siren call.
In Shatterscape, Hillyard, Stashko and Kause take turns presenting their perspective of a past event, thus deconstructing collective memory and the notion of "universal truth."
— Holly Harris
From the Fringe program:
Good Women showcases two original works - Shatterstate and Pod - both exploring different states of fracture. Shatterstate investigates how reconnecting with a particular state can cause a disconnect as the dancers develop physical accounts or four visual experiences. Pod reveals the dynamic journey of an organism that fractures into two separate entities.
Director: Good Women Dance Collective
Cast: Ainsley Hillyard, Alida Nyquist-Schultz, Kate Stashko

Guess who's back? We'll talk some Selanne, and what to do with him in your fantasy league. But first I have to get something off my chest:
The All-Star Shame, er...Game.
This weekend really summed up the NHL. So much potential, but so poorly executed. The league is just a mess and so was the skills competition.
It is bad enough the NHL All-Star weekend and the sport in general is completely non-existent in the minds of so many US citizens. How can it be that the majority of the teams call the United States home, but the majority of citizens, even in Atlanta probably, didn't even realize the sport's biggest spectacle next to the playoffs took place this weekend? There is so much money to be made and growth to be had for the NHL in the US, and they are just missing the boat.
It really all starts with the TV package. Why Versus? I know the station is still in its infancy but common… it needs to be broadcasted on network television at least until Versus gets in better standing. I don't think everyone up north understands how difficult it can be to watch the NHL Draft or NHL All-Star game in the states. Last year, one of my college buddies and I tried to watch the game at a bar or restaurant because we didn't have Versus. We called around and tried to find a place that did. It took six calls… SIX!... before we found a sports bar that had Versus. Most people didn't even know what Versus was or that the game was even on. NO ONE HAS VERSUS!
So anyway, we went to this bar and tried to watch the game. They put the game on for us only because we requested it, and they said we could only watch it for half an hour before the local college basketball came on. There are so many regular season basketball games on each winter and only one NHL All-Star game and the basketball still gets precedence. On top of that, they made us watch it with the sound off because football news coverage was on.
This occurred in Missouri. I can't imagine how obscure the sport is in the deep south. The game is only on NBC once a week and only in the second half of the season. It is ridiculous. Even worse, ESPN, the standard cable heartbeat of sports in America, completely ignores the sport. Whatever deal ESPN is willing to give the NHL, they should take it. The NHL can't truly succeed in the US without ESPN supporting them. It is just insane how little they speak about hockey. It is usually just Barry Melrose letting people know that Crosby is good.
Now back to the All-Star festivities. Not a lot can be said about the game itself. It was pretty typical, with little hitting and high scoring. There's nothing wrong with that for an exhibition. It is the NHL SuperSkills event that was really sad.
Mistakes from the the "Phanuef" error to the fastest skater mix-ups to mispronunciations were just the tip of the iceberg. The relay was boring, the YoungStars game had old veterans tending goal and Chris Pronger showed off his "Skills" by falling down during Perry's interview. How ironic.
I really think the relay could be aided by adding a 2 on 1 or 2 on none element. The passing in that would have been much more exciting than watching guys make passes standing still.
Regardless, the worst by far was the Breakaway Challenge. What kind of competition is it when the winner whiffed on the shot twice? He didn't even get the puck on goal on his highest scoring attempts. What a joke. It is just really sad how these competitions went. Still, this event has so much potential. There are a few key things they could do to make sure this thing gets better instead of worse.
First, Make sure the players know the rules before they compete. It was obvious some players didn't realize what was expected of them in the challenge.
Next, let's make goals matter. A puck going in on a good move is much better than seeing a whiff on a great move. In order for an attempt to count, the shooter has to score.
Also, make the goalies stay in the crease. This is obvious. How can a player razzle dazzle if the tender is coming 10 feet out of the net to stop him. No one wants to see that, and it will be over before it starts. St. Louis chances were just ruined. This particular competition isn't about the goalies. Limit their ability. Take away their sticks if you have to. There is a reason shooters don't use these moves in games. It really isn't because it is showboating. If it worked, players would do it. The real reason is because they are extremely low-percentage moves and we can't have goalies playing it like a real game and expect to see successful attempts.
The players also need more chances. Two chances just make it nearly impossible to see a lot of success against a real goalie. Either make it a time limit like 1 minute or make it a best of 5 shots per player. This way they can have a couple opportunities to try something different and won't be under so much pressure. It will also give a higher likelihood that we actually see goals.
If you are going to keep it at two chances, then take away the live goalie. There is some logic to that idea. It would give all players the same opportunity against a dummy or cutout with the appropriate holes open. It isn't like the Slam Dunk contest has a guy guarding the dunker anyway. Elimination shootout can serve as the real goalie feature instead. The Elimination is more about the goalies than the Breakaway anyway, and this would distinguish the event even more. Right now, they both seem somewhat similar. Either way, make the opportunity to score easier in the Breakaway Challenge. No one wants to see a winning whiff.
Well, I had more ranting to do, but I'm just going to stop there. I tire of trashing this sport I love. Maybe it is a good thing most American's didn't see the SuperSkills after all.
The Status Report:
Sell High:
Teemu Selanne, RW, ANA
Well don't you look smart. You held on to Teemu all this time and now it is time to celebrate. The excitement is at an all time high with Selanne signing Monday. I told you to hold on to him for this moment. Make the move. If you are in a keeper and rebuilding, it is a no brainer. He only signed a one-year deal after all. He won't be around forever and surely won't continue to be the same player as he approaches 40.
J.P. Dumont, RW, NSH
In the midst of a career-high, franchise-record 14 game points streak, J.P. Dumont's value is at an all-time high. He now has 24 points in his last 20 games. That is huge for a guy whose career high is 66 points in a full season. Though he is in the middle of his prime, he is playing way over his head. To put this in perspective, he only had 18 points in his first 30 games. Find an offer for a surefire 70-point player and sell, sell, sell.
Daniel Carcillo, LW, PHO
I'm really just writing this because it is excited to have the King back. He still has a shot at 350 penalty minutes which is absolutely amazing after missing so many games. Now the only question is, has the rest energized him enough to get a few points on the board again. If he gets over 300 PIM, I'm not so sure it really matters. The highest total in the new NHL so far was Avery with 257 in 05-06. Carcillo could be there in two weeks. Just so you know, Dave Schultz holds the record for a single season with 472 and only four players have even put up more than 400. Carcillo might have done it without the injury. Now where will Daniel's value rank when this season ends? Let's just hope he finishes it.
From the Dust: The player who may have some value after all.
Zbynek Michalek, D, PHO
After an 11-game drought, the elder Michalek has scored three points in two games. I am still optimistic about the 24-year-old defenseman as he has two more seasons with Phoenix before he becomes unrestricted in 2010. The team will continue to improve, and Michalek should be right in the middle of it. Don't expect anything earth shattering, but he is a solid depth D for the future.
Young Guns: The future of the West.
Fabian Brunnstrom, LW, UFA
Fabian is moving west. As mentioned in the forum, the Detroit Free Press reports Brunnstrom is likely to sign with the Swedish…I mean Detroit Red Wings once his SEL season ends. He could be a great snag in many leagues for next season. He is 15th in the SEL in scoring with 32 points in 39 games. This guy has already been snagged in many pools, but there is still a significant gamble here. After all, he is already 23 and is trailing in a league boasting leaders like Pavel Brendl and Jan Hrdina. So that alone shows, you might want to be concerned about how he will translate. Still, even Brendl and his domination of the SEL the last two years raise an eyebrow.
Cactus of the Week: The player you shouldn't touch right now.
Manny Legace, G, STL
Manny and the Blues are slumping. Legace has allowed 15 goals in his last five games. That is just awful. On top of it, he received no rest having to take on superstars and reporters all weekend at the All-Star festivities.
Last 10 Days: 0-3-1, .845SV%, 3.42GAA, 82SV, 0SO
On top of it, you know after all that work, he is bound to get injured soon to add injury to his insulting last few games.
Fantasy Flashback: Your weekly reminder that fantasy hockey is a rollercoaster.
Patrick Marleau, C, SJ
In case you didn't notice, Marleau is back in business with seven points in his last seven games. In even better news, Thornton has not been associated with the last three of them… so he isn't just sponging. Despite the resurgence, his numbers are drastically different from this point last year.
2006-07: 49GP, 24G, 32A, 56P, plus-14, 27PIM, 138SOG
2007-08: 49GP, 8G, 17A, 25P, minus-20, 21PIM, 100SOG
Marleau was better in every category last year. It is amazing that he had nearly as many goals as he has points this season. Even more surprising is the 34 point swing in plus/minus. After two point-per-game seasons of 86 and 78 points, who would have predicted this collapse? This coaster has one gnarly drop.

Quality Control
29/09/2011 § 36 Comments
It seems almost every year we in the library science field torture ourselves about the glut of graduates emerging from our programs and the shortage of jobs that exist within the profession. One thing I continually hear from people is that library schools should make admissions harder. The argument is that if we let less people in with higher qualification our degrees will matter more. Here I take umbrage.

Pretty good food. Less than great service. – The food here is good enough that I went back after having a less than good experience in the past. However based on having a second bad experience its time to take my money and my business elsewhere.
The first bad experience I had there were multiple issues. All could have been overlooked except the waitress copping an attitude when we asked for a to go box. She actually got confrontational and demanded to know if we didn't like the food. We explained the food was fine but we were on a tight schedule and couldn't stay longer.
Today attitude was again the problem. The initial mistake was ours. We did not catch the limitations on the groupon we had purchased. I can only guess that they have enough business that they feel there is no need to be polite to customers.
I won't be giving them a third chance.

Reed (8-1, 4-1 in the HDL) sealed its third straight league title Friday night at home with a convincing 63-28 win over Spanish Springs (4-5, 2-3 in the HDL).
"It feels great every time," Reed coach Ernie Howren said. "It doesn't feel like, been here done that. Every time is as great as the first time."
Leading 14-7 coming out of the locker room at halftime, Reed's offensive line asserted itself as the Raiders scored on seven of eight second-half drives to blow the game open.
The Raiders received the kickoff after halftime and Jordan de Leon broke off a 54-yard touchdown run two plays later to extend the lead to 21-7.
The senior running back carried the ball 20 times for 179 yards and found the end zone three times.
"When the line's on, he's got an easy hole to run through," Howren said. "With one guy making a mistake, de Leon is making that guy miss. It's a combination of both of them working their butts off, the offensive line and de Leon."
Spanish Springs responded with a 15-play, 73-yard, drive down to the Reed three-yard line but quarterback Hunter Fralick was stuffed on fourth and goal giving the ball back to the Raiders' offense.
The play was one of the few times Fralick couldn't find running room as the senior ran for 172 yards on 15 carries racking up three touchdown runs: of 10, 34 and 49 yards. He also completed 26-of-46 passes for 215 yards.
Fralick's completion percentage would have been much higher but the Cougars were haunted by 10 drops, eight in the first quarter.
"I don't know," Spanish Springs coach Scott Hare said. "But you know what, if you got to take eight drops this week, and catch all eight next week, I'll take it."
Both teams traded punts following Reed's goal-line stand before the Raiders extended their lead to 28-7 with a four-play, 55-yard drive capped by quarterback Chris Denn's six-yard touchdown plunge.
Denn carried the ball 14 times for 121 yards and the touchdown. He completed 8-14 pass attempts for 160 yards and two touchdowns.
"(It feels) awesome. It's been our goal all along," Denn said of winning the HDL. "Now we've just got to go for region … This game goes to our line though. They did incredible the whole time. I only got hit one time where it wasn't my fault."
Spanish Springs' Shamir Geisinger showed off his blazing speed on the kickoff following the Denn dive, returning the kick 93 yards to close the gap to 28-14.
The Raiders recovered the Cougars ensuing on-side kick and marched 51 yards on four plays to push the lead back to 21, capped by a nine-yard touchdown grab by Trae Wells.
Reed's most dangerous deep threat hauled in four passes for 110 yards and two touchdowns.
Leading 42-28, the Raiders proceeded to score on three consecutive drives to turn the game into a rout in the fourth quarter.
"We would get a score and Spanish Springs would come right back and answer back with a score. How are you going to handle that mentally? I thought our kids did really well with that," Howren said.
In the first half, Fralick's first touchdown run, a 34-yarder, gave the Cougars a 7-0 lead with 6:53 left in the first quarter.
The Cougars' only lead of the game was short lived. Fifty five seconds later, Reed linebacker Jordyn Rather returned Fralick's only interception of the night, and just his third of the season, 50 yards to tie the game.
SSHS linebacker Roman Lawlor recovered a de Leon fumble three plays after Fralick's touchdown scamper to give the ball back to the Cougars' offense, setting up Rather's pick six.
On its final drive of the half, Spanish Springs marched inside the Reed 5-yard line with three seconds left following a seven-yard grab by Gehrig Parks. Parks was unable to get out of bounds, after getting the first down, setting the clock to run once the ball was spotted.
The Cougars' field goal unit ran onto the field but was unable to get the kick off before time expired.
Parks grabbed eight passes for 75 yards, tying the school record for receptions in a season with 100.
Jacob White caught 10 passes for 76 yards.
Despite the lopsided score, Hare was pleased with his team's performance, particularly in the first half. The Cougars played the game conservatively fighting numerous injuries.
"I feel really good," Hare said. "I saw a team that looked poised and the best we've looked, at times, this year. I thought our defense played really, really well. The score is not indicative at all of how we played."
As the HDL's fourth-place team, the Cougars will play at Carson (7-2, 4-0 in the Sierra League) in the first round of the North Region Tournament next Friday.
"I'm excited to start the tournament where we are starting it," Hare said. "I think we are going to be a tough out. I respect Carson. They do a great job. But we are going to be a tough out, I know that."
Reed opens the regional playoffs at home against Douglas (2-7, 1-3 in the Sierra League), next Friday, but Howren does not believe Friday's win over Spanish Springs will have any affect on the game.
"I don't look at momentum going into the playoffs because if you need momentum to go into the playoffs, then you ain't competitive," Howren said. "It's the playoffs. You've got to come into the playoffs with an attitude that you're going to do everything you can to win that ball game. I don't think you need any momentum to lead into that."

Other than pointing out that Jack Morris wasn't really any better than Orel Hershiser the other day, I've tried to steer clear of the Hall of Fame debate around here. Part of that is because gallons of virtual ink has already been spilled on the "Morris vs. Bert Blyleven" and "no, you can't just baselessly accuse Jeff Bagwell of juicing" debates, and the world hardly needs another viewpoint on that. Also, none of this has really been Dodger-related, since no prominent Dodgers are up for inclusion.
However, a Twitter conversation I had with SI's Jon Heyman (and for all the garbage everyone gives him, I respect that he's at least willing to have the conversation, wrong as he may be) brought up a topic that we've been talking about here on this blog for years: the topic of "aces". This has been relevant to the Dodgers for a while because uninformed media members continually state that the Dodgers need an ace, conveniently ignoring the ascent of Clayton Kershaw.
This all started this morning when Heyman asked, "why was morris ace of great teams and bert no. 2 on good/bad/soso teams?"
That right there is a huge problem, for two reasons. The term "ace" is so subjective, and in large part is not something a player can control. Remember, the point of advanced statistics is to eliminate the noise of things that a player cannot control and focus on the things he can. It's why we know wins are stupid, because they don't account for offense or defense. It's why we know RBI are irrelevant, because it's almost entirely dependent on coming to the plate with men already on base.
Trying to declare someone an "ace" is just as troublesome. First, what determines an "ace"? Is it being the Opening Day starter, as so many have pointed to in defense of Morris, who made 14 straight such appearances from 1980-1993? By that logic, Vicente Padilla was the ace of the 2010 Dodgers. (h/t Chad Moriyama on that one). Is it having the most wins? If so, Chad Billingsley was the ace of the 2009 Dodgers, and you don't need me to remind you how people felt about him after the season. Is it who starts the first game of the playoffs, as Heyman seems to be claiming with Morris? If so, then Randy Wolf was the ace of the 2009 team, as though choosing your Game 1 starter doesn't depend on opponent, location, or how the rotation lined up if you weren't lucky enough to clinch early. In 1993, Jack Morris was 7-12 with a 6.19 ERA for a championship Blue Jays team. He started on Opening Day. Was he really that team's ace?
So right there we can prove that identifying someone as the "ace" is subjective and nearly impossible. But it doesn't stop there. Even if you could find a way to identify someone as the "ace" (yes, I'd suggest WAR or ERA+, but clearly that won't satisfy everyone) there's also the issue of competition. As I argued to Heyman, players don't put together the roster, and neither do the managers who choose playoff and Opening Day starters.
What that means is that you could be the third best pitcher in baseball, but if you're teammates with one of the two guys better than you, technically you're not the "ace". I'm sure there's dozens of examples, but two that came to mind immediately for me were Don Drysdale and Tom Glavine. Drysdale's a Hall of Famer, and Glavine likely will be. Yet for much of their careers, they were outdone by teammates Sandy Koufax and Greg Maddux, who are probably two of the five best pitchers of all time. Does not being the "ace" make Drysdale or Glavine any lesser pitchers, just because they happened to be paired with legends? I think not. It's just more evidence why trying to determine an "ace" is silly, because I'm sure we would have preferred Glavine in the mid-90s to whomever you considered the Dodger ace at the time, like Hideo Nomo or Ismael Valdes.
Heyman's reply to that was that Blyleven wasn't paired with talent like that on the Twins, Pirates, and Indians, and therefore if he was really that good, should have been the unquestioned ace. Yet I'm having trouble seeing what exactly made him not the ace. He started on Opening Day 12 times, if that means anything to you, just one less than Morris. Is it because he didn't start the first game of the playoffs? His teams made the playoffs just three times; in 1970, the first of those times, he was just 19 years old. In 1979, he'd pitched in the final game of the season, making him unavailable for Game 1, plus he had well-known personal issues with Pirates manager Chuck Tanner. The same happened in 1987, where he'd pitched Game 162 and pitched Game 2 while Frank Viola – a very good pitcher in his day – started Game 1. As Mike Axisa of River Ave Blues points out, C.C. Sabathia didn't start Game 1 of the 2008 NLDS either. You know why? He was pitching a complete game on the last day of the season to push the Brewers into the playoffs. Yet you'd consider him an "ace", wouldn't you?
If Blyleven wasn't seen as the ace of his teams at the time, it's because unenlightened spectators of the day placed far too much importance in his unimportant win/loss record. It's because circumstances out of his control prevented him from pitching Game 1 of the playoffs. It's because we know more now than we did then.
But mostly, it's because claiming someone as an "ace" is often impossible. There's no standard for it. It's often based on flawed statistics like wins, or a manager's gut feeling on Opening Day, or who your teammates happen to be, or how the schedule plays out for the playoffs. There's probably no such thing as an "ace", and it shouldn't be a concern in Hall of Fame voting.
(This will not stop me from calling Clayton Kershaw an ace all season long, of course.)
Back to the Dodgers, this isn't good news for anyone hoping Ivan DeJesus would grab the 2B job in camp, thus pushing Juan Uribe to 3B and Casey Blake to LF. Over at Minor League Ball, John Sickels ranks his top 20 Dodger prospects. It's no surprise that Dee Gordon, Jerry Sands, and Trayvon Robinson are the top 3, but DeJesus didn't even make the list, rather placing in the honorable mentions. I said back in October that I didn't think he was ready to make the leap to start the year, and Sickels' assessment doesn't add a lot of optimism there. That's not to say I think DeJesus is a non-prospect – far from it. He'll have a major league career, but it's unlikely he'll be above average, or someone we should be waiting on to break through. Yes, his AFL performance was impressive, but don't put too much stock into small sample size stats against varying competition.
