New York City has a zillion charms, but it might not be the ideal place to celebrate Halloween. Here's the problem — where do you display your jack-o'-lantern if you live in an apartment building with no porch?
Then again, my family and I are New Yorkers, and a little defect like this was not going to keep us from carving scary faces into pumpkins. As a kid, it was the kind of art project I loved, even though — or because? — it was so messy. It also was kind of dangerous, given the sharp knives required.
Some years my mom would get ambitious and turn the pumpkin seeds into a snack. It was a lot of work. We had to separate the seeds from the fibrous pulp, wash them thoroughly, then dry them on towels before we roasted them. Drying the seeds was a particular ordeal. They tended to stick to the towels, and those that didn't stick to the towels could end up sticking anywhere, floor to ceiling.
But the finished product was wonderful: nutty, chewy, salty, seasonal.
So this year, with Halloween looming, I decided to cast toasted pumpkin seeds as the star of a healthy snack mix. A delight for young or old, it makes a great after-school treat or an appetizer at a Halloween party.
And I've managed to eliminate the sticking-to-the-towel problem.
Finding the best way to toast the seeds took several trials. I tried high-heat roasting and low-heat roasting before deciding — following a tip from a Twitter buddy — that sauteing them in a skillet on top of the stove produced the most succulent result. The sticking-to-the-towel thing? Just dry the wet seeds in the oven for 10 minutes before toasting them in the skillet. No towels required.
And by the way, pumpkin seeds — like most seeds — are very good for us. They're a great source of magnesium and zinc, as well as omega-3 fatty acids. And then there are the economic and ecological bonuses. The seeds are free, a by-product of the pumpkin carving. It's not unlike being able to make a chicken stock out of the bones of a roast chicken.
Speaking of healthfulness, this recipe pairs the pumpkin seeds with a fellow good-for-you all-star — chickpeas. A staple of soups, stews and salads, chickpeas lately have been popping up as a crispy snack. Who knew they could cross over into potato chip land? And it's easy, too. Just dry them, toss them with a bit of oil (and spices, if you'd like), then bake them in a 400 F oven for 25 to 35 minutes.
I rounded out this snack mix with dried cranberries and nuts. It happens to be cranberry season, but any one of your favorite dried fruits would do, including cherries, apricots and raisins. Nut-wise, I'm partial to pistachios, but go with what you like best.
As for the seasoning, extra-virgin olive oil and salt comprise a simple and tasty accent. But depending on the occasion and guests, you could jazz it up, adding curry powder, smoked paprika or dried rosemary.
QUINCE from C3
NEARLY CANDIED QUINCE 3 cups water, or 2 cups Riesling plus 1 cup water
11/2 cups sugar
Zest of 1 tangerine or 3 wide strips orange zest
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 teaspoon cardamom seeds
3 cloves
4 to 6 large quince (about 1 pound)
1/4 cup late-harvest riesling, muscat or other dessert wine
Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Combine the water (or diluted wine), sugar, zest, cinnamon and spices in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir to dissolve the sugar, then simmer over low heat while you prepare the quince.
Peel the quince, cut them into wedges about three-fourths-inch wide at the center and remove the cores; you should have about 4 cups. Put them in a shallow dish, like a gratin dish. Pour two-thirds of the syrup over the fruit, including the spices. Bake, uncovered, for about 2 hours, turning the fruit every 30 minutes for the first 11/2 hours and then more frequently during the last 30 minutes, as the syrup will be well-reduced by then. You want it to caramelize and thicken but not burn. When done, the quince should be nearly translucent and slightly rosy.
Remove from the oven and immediately add the dessert wine. At this point, you can serve either warm or at room temperature, or refrigerate, covered with the syrup.50 minutes, plus about 2 hours baking. Serves 8 to 12

Asian American Community Services began to form during the
Friday evenings Columbus Chinese Christian Fellowship (CCCF) meetings at the University Baptist Church. Although it was primarily a Bible study
group, this small group began to discuss ways to promote awareness of East
Asian cultures and languages in the Central Ohio
community and Columbus Public Schools. The
group was primarily driven by Dr. Shuh-Chai Lee and two other OSU graduate
students. As a non-citizen employee at
the Ohio Department of Transportation, Dr. Lee had experienced life both before
and after the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964 and the 1965 Immigration
Law. Dr. Lee, along with the two other
young Chinese graduate students, used their ecumenical, cosmopolitan and
humanistic values to address a rising need for cultural sensitivity and
In March of 1972, W. C. Chow, a Chinese minister from Cincinnati, came to Columbus
to facilitate the funeral of a young restaurant worker. With the help of the CCCF, he offered further
assistance to the family to help them deal with the unexpected tragedy. The family was grateful for the assistance of
the Pastor and joined the CCCF Bible studies.
Reverend Chow expanded the CCCF to include Sunday worship services at
the Wesley Foundation near the OSU campus.
The group was still primarily a Bible study group and was rapidly
growing. However, ideas to help the
Asian community within the group began to surface.
Dr. Lee's first case came in August of 1972 by the name of
Mr. Wong—the 90-year-old father of a close friend. As a WWI veteran who came to the U.S.
in 1916, Mr. Wong had been receiving a pension for 25 years. However, he had no idea he was also eligible
for veterans and welfare benefits nor how to apply for those benefits. After he was evicted from his apartment for
nonpayment of rent, he moved to his son's garage that had been converted to a
living quarter and died a few years later.
Moved by this injustice, Dr. Lee helped Mr. Wong's son build and operate
a small restaurant in a predominately African American neighborhood. The
restaurant supported his five immigrant families for the next three
After learning about Dr. Lee's assistance to Mr. Wong and
his family, Chinese students, recent immigrants, aging immigrants and their
children began to come to the CCCF not only for Bible studies but to seek
social services and assistance.
Dr. Lee sought especially to provide services to the elderly
Asian community through a senior lunch program called NICE (now called Lifecare
Alliance). In an effort to teach
cultural awareness and native language to the younger generation, Dr. Lee and
three volunteers (one of whom was his wife, Catherine S.) organized a Chinese
Language class for Elementary School children. Both he and his wife were constantly invited
to speak to students at the Columbus Public Schools on various topics of East
Asian languages, history, geography, and culture. Dr. Lee also met with the Columbus Adult
Readers Association to show cultural and educational films and then discuss the
various topics.
In 1976, almost four years later, Dr. Lee founded Asian
American Community Services as a structure to help serve not only Chinese but
all Asian populations in Central Ohio. The founding members of the Board of Trustees
included Reverend and Dr. Pogue as the President, Mrs. Kawakami as Treasurer,
and Dr. Lee as Executive Secretary and Executive Vice-President. That same year, 1976, the U.S. President
and Congress proclaimed the second week in May as an Asian celebration
week. Two years later, AACS appealed to
other Asian-American groups in Ohio
to organize a celebration of Asian Week at the YMCA.
Despite many set-backs (i.e.
a significant lack of grant funding) in the years following its establishment, Asian
American Community Services has managed to conduct hundreds of cases without
any publicity over the past 32 years of operation. What began as a small, volunteer and
faith-based group has become a thriving nonprofit organization, which is the
only organization that serves all ages and races of the Asian community in Central Ohio.

A 99-room landmark with a glamorous past (Liz Taylor, Grace Kelly, and even Albert Schweitzer slept here), recently reopened after a two-year renovation, in the heart of pretty little Bern. This handsome sandstone mansion turned hotel appears to have changed little since the early 1900s—until you step into the small lobby and encounter the trapezoidal lit-from-within white-onyx reception desk. The Park Avenue goes postmodern vibe is further enhan…
Nira Alpina Hotel, Surlej
A 70-room timber-and-glass low-rise set on the highest point of the tiny village of Surlej, three miles from St. Moritz. A glass-enclosed bridge connects the hotel to the Corvatsch cable car, which ascends to 10,800 feet. Modern and pared-down with traditional Swiss touches—antlers, a woodpile under the staircase, cowhide couches, sheepskin throws. Rooms have a balcony or a garden patio—and there might be a bedside copy of Nietzsche's Thus Spake…
Backstage, Zermatt
A 19-room glass-fronted high-design hotel in the shadow of the Matterhorn, steps from the terminus of the Glacier Express train. SoHo loft meets Swiss chalet. Vaulted interiors are decked out in brushed stainless steel, distressed leather, and recycled doodads, such as the chandeliers constructed from trumpets, violins, strands of silver beads, and disco balls in recognition of the hotel's cultural-center underpinnings.

This decorative cooling rack with its sweet motif is more than just baking equipment, it can also be used as a serving plate and can even be used to create a lovely wall hanging.
The cooling rack is 24cm wide and 2.5cm high. Available in hearts or daisies. The cooling rack is a vintage-inspire product and, as such, each will be slightly unique with the embellishments welded at varying heights. This rustic look gives these pieces a little extra charm and means no two racks are exactly the same.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Tablet Plus
Tcherassi Hotel + Spa
Calle del Sargento Mayor, No 6-21, Cartagena, Colombia
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Rarely is the Colombian city of Cartagena mentioned without reference to its rich Spanish colonial history. Most of the hotels in town make as much as they can of this heritage, and the architecture it left behind. And so, in its way, does the Tcherassi Hotel + Spa — but anyone expecting a pure nostalgia trip is likely to be surprised by what they find. Not disappointed, mind — the house's old colonial bones are still very much in place, but the owner, fashion designer Silvia Tcherassi, has made some pretty unmissable additions.
It's rare to find a hotel whose period detailing and contemporary finishes manage to coexist in such harmony. Perhaps the key is that it's not exactly subtle — the unfinished brick and stone walls are unapologetically rough, while the fabrics and finishes are flamboyantly luxe. And it probably helps to work with such a small canvas; with just seven rooms and suites there's no space for Ms. Tcherassi to repeat herself.
The fact that the restaurant seats more guests than the hotel sleeps ought to give you an idea of what sort of place this is — the upper floor, where the guest rooms are, may be quiet and intimate, but the Tcherassi isn't shy of a bit of attention. And it'll get plenty of it — there's nothing like it anywhere else in Cartagena, that's for sure.
How to Get There
The hotel is 3km from Cartagena's Rafael Nunez International airport (CTG) and 109 km from Barranquilla International Airport (BAQ).

What I liked:
The service was incredibly attentive. There was no attitude or indifference that I've come to expect at highly stylish and posh hotels. The rooms were huge and rivaled some New York apartments! I felt like I was in my own private villa and almost didn't want to leave my little sanctuary. For food, the breakfast was incredible and I highly recommend dinner at Vera.
What the hotel could do better:
The WiFi wasn't working very well during my stay. I wish that could have been remedied but otherwise my stay was perfect.

What I liked:
Loved our experience here. We are a well traveled couple, and stay in nice hotels all over the world, but the room at Tcherassi was one of the most beautiful rooms we have stayed in. Absolutely stunning experience.
What the hotel could do better:
Nothing, had a wonderful stay!

- Stayed July 2012

What I liked:
Stunning vibe. Unbelievable rooms. Was so relaxing and a great location.
What the hotel could do better:
Everything was great. Amazing. Only piece of constructive criticism would be to have slightly more comfortable deck chairs for the upstairs pools.

Looking for a way to refinance your home when you have bad or blemished credit?
You do have refinancing options and you don't need perfect credit to qualify.
One option to consider is HARP 2, the revamped federal Home Affordable Refinance Program.
There are no loan-to-value restrictions in this refinancing program. But there are a few requirements:
The aim of HARP 2 is to make it easier for homeowners who owe much more on their homes than the homes are worth to refinance into lower-rate loans.
Not sure if Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac owns your mortgage? Look-up tools from Fannie and Freddie make it easy to find out.
If your home loan is insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), be sure to check out your refinancing options as well.
FHA mortgage programs have more lenient qualifying guidelines than other mortgage programs and are easier to refinance.
A downside to financing a home with an FHA loan is the increasing costs of mortgage insurance premium (MIP) associated with this type of loan.
According to the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development to "streamline refinance" an FHA loan, the mortgage you would like to refinance must already be FHA-insured and the mortgage must be current and not delinquent. So folks who fell behind on an FHA-insured mortgage are out of luck.
In addition, no cash may be taken out on FHA mortgages refinanced using the streamlined refinanced process and the refinance results must result in lowering a borrower's monthly principal and interest.
To learn more about refinancing an FHA loan, contact any mortgage professional that offers these kinds of loans.
Homeowners with less-than-stellar credit who would like to refinance can use the free Credit Report Card to gauge how their credit is recovering and make plans to improve their credit.
It also is a good idea to pull your credit report once a year for free from each of the major credit reporting bureaus.

Q. We are interested in learning more on how to participate in the green building movement. We are particularly interested in finding out about any standards on products and systems. Where can we start?
A. Many organizations and associations have developed ranking systems and performance guides designed to help building owners and specifiers rate a project's environmental, economic, and social impact on the neighboring community. To help promote a cohesive approach to these efforts, several ASTM committees have included sustainability concepts in preparing their standards.
Members of ASTM E-06, Performance of Buildings, are leading the effort. They have responded by developing a series of documents aimed at standardizing the concept of sustainability. For example ASTM standard E 2431, Guide for General Principles of Sustainability Relative to Buildings, guides users on how to balance preserving the environment with the needs of the real world regarding quality of life and jobs. And ASTM E 2114, Terminology for Sustainability Relative to the Performance of Buildings, provides specifiers with definitive language and terms used in this important and emerging industry movement.
Another important ASTM committee is C-16, Thermal Insulation. Committee members develop standards that help reduce building energy consumption. They have developed more than 40 active material or system specifications, along with a number of application guides.
To help learn all of the standards pertaining to the green movement, ASTM has gathered 145 standards that are referenced by the U.S. Federal Green Construction Guide for Specifiers onto one CD-ROM. "Sustainability in Building," (item No. Greencd07) is available for $260. Visit www.astm.org.
To learn more about ASTM E06.71 on Sustainability, contact Dru Meadows, chairman of the subcommittee. You can e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
We invite questions on any aspect on concrete mix design, production, testing, or troubleshooting. To submit your question, please write: Problem Clinic Editor, THE CONCRETE PRODUCER, 8725 W. Higgins Road, Suite 600, Chicago, IL 60631, fax 773-824-2401, or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Robert Kennedy, the higher education chief who resigned Oct. 12 amid an uproar over $250,000 in unauthorized raises given to his subordinates, received at least $100,000 more than his widely reported $340,000 annual salary in 13 months on the job — including $75,000 from a contractual bonus and an unvouchered expense account.
What's more, the now-departed appointee of Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy is still eligible for an additional $20,000 in "deferred compensation" — even after he's gone.
And although there was criticism over Kennedy's 8½-week absence from Connecticut during the summer, he's still expected to be paid more than $4,000 for 26.67 hours of "accrued vacation."
Here — after an examination of the lucrative employment contract he negotiated with Malloy's office, and responses by Board of Regents spokeswoman Colleen Flanagan Johnson to a Courant Freedom of Information Act request — is the final tally on Kennedy's compensation:
-- $377,778 in base salary, coming in 29 two-week paychecks of $13,027 at the rate of $340,000 a year, since he started in September 2011 as president for the newly formed Board of Regents for Higher Education.
-- Two payments of $25,000 each, last spring and in July, under a provision in his contract for unvouchered expenses. Of that $50,000 total, the only documented expenses were $218.64 for December 2011 and January 2012. He was paid the other $49,781 under a contract provision giving him "an annual unvouchered accommodation account" of $25,000 to be used at his "sole discretion." Kennedy's service straddled two different fiscal years — state budget periods that run from July 1 to the next June 30 — and he got a $25,000 payment for each, Flanagan Johnson said. The contract said the account was intended for "fundraising, community outreach, memberships and enhancing to the position of the Board of Regents."
-- A $25,000 "performance based incentive" — that is, a bonus — paid for meeting his "Year 1" goal, which was to "establish the central system office of the Board of Regents to provide the necessary business, policy, human resources and academic leadership for the System which includes the Community and Technical colleges, the Connecticut State University System and Charter Oak State College." The state's flagship University of Connecticut operates separately, with its own board of trustees, president and administration for its campuses — the main one in Storrs.
-- $19,274 in moving reimbursements for his relocation from both his main residence in Maine and his summer home in Minnesota upon his arrival in Connecticut in 2011. He and his wife found an apartment in Bloomfield when he took the job.
-- $4,343 for the 26.67 unused hours of vacation, based on his hourly pay rate of $162.83.
-- $15,183 in health care expenses under the state's plan.
-- Use of a $36,863 SUV, a 2012 Toyota Highlander SE, which he received on Sept. 13, 2011. It has been retrieved and is sitting in the Board of Regents' parking lot in Hartford.
-- A few expense reimbursements totaling $1,081 which, for reasons not yet explained, did not come out of the unvouchered expense account. They included $224 for repairs to the state-owned vehicle, $48 for parking on three days this year, and $809 for travel to a conference in Washington, D.C.
-- The $20,000 in deferred compensation, to which the contract said Kennedy is entitled for "each full year of service."
Flanagan Johnson said that the deferred compensation is the only amount listed above that has not yet been paid to Kennedy — with the possible exception of the $4,343 for the unused vacation time. That's supposed to be in his final paycheck, and Flanagan Johnson said Friday that she was not sure it had been issued yet.
In addition to drawing anger over the more than $250,000 in raises that he gave his staff without the legally required authorization, Kennedy also drew criticism in the days leading to his resignation after the disclosure that he worked "remotely" from his Minnesota home last summer. He said he did that under a contractual provision allowing him 6 weeks of "annual paid professional leave." Subsequently, an examination of his time sheets showed that he was actually gone for nearly nine weeks.
The chairman of the Board of Regents, Lewis Robinson Jr., has said he thought the contract provision was intended for "professional development" activities such as seminars, but Kennedy said he had been told that his remote working arrangement was OK.
The contract was negotiated with Kennedy in 2011 by Malloy's chief of staff at the time, Timothy Bannon, who since has left the office, Roy Occhiogrosso, Malloy's senior adviser, said Friday. It was Bannon who told Kennedy he could use the professional leave provision to work from Minnesota, Occhiogrosso said.
At the time of the negotiation, Kennedy said he already had made a commitment to spend the six weeks in Minnesota, and so it was agreed he could use the provision for that, Occhiogrosso said. Malloy "was under the impression" that the working-from-Minnesota arrangement "was for the first year only," Occhiogrosso added.
Flanagan Johnson said that none of the $19,274 in moving expense reimbursements were connected with the weeks he spent during the summer at his Minnesota home.
Kennedy was not the only casualty of the controversy that has brought political embarrassment and heavy criticism concerning Malloy's much-ballyhooed reorganization of the system governing the four state universities and 12 regional community-technical colleges.
Kennedy's departure was quickly followed by the resignation of his second-in-command, Michael P. Meotti, the former executive vice president for the regents. Meotti was one of 21 employees who got a raise — $48,000, effective June 29, to a new level of $232,244. That raise, as well as the other 20, have been suspended while the Board of Regents tries to decide what to do.
Meotti has agreed to return $9,195 in increased salary already paid to him. He is still working in a transitional role, with no date yet announced for his actual departure
Meanwhile, the Board of Regents has named former UConn President Philip Austin as interim replacement for Kennedy.
Also involved in the controversy at the Board of Regents were communications from the central office that raised fears that community college presidents would be pushed out of their jobs through forced buyouts if they didn't go along with proposed changes.

Published on: Monday, October 21, 2013
By Brandy Simms, Sentinel Sports Reporter
On Oct 14, Maryland junior linebacker L.A. Goree was named Atlantic Coast Conference Linebacker of the Week for his performance in the Terrapins' 27-26 win over Virginia.
Goree, a Bowie native, registered a career-high 16 tackles including nine solo stops in the Terps' win over Virginia.
The C.H. Flowers High School graduate helped Maryland rebound after a 63-0 loss to Florida State the previous week.
"It was really huge," said Goree, "because at that point a lot of teams would hold their head down and say that the season is over. We definitely held our heads high and came out with a tough victory."
Goree's 16 tackles is the most by a Maryland player since Demetrius Hartsfield recorded 18 tackles against N.C. State during the 2011 campaign.
"I think L.A. is having a really good year for us," said Maryland head coach Randy Edsall. "It's great to see him get the recognition this week for his play a week ago. I think he's really become more of a student of the game and understanding his role and how his role revolves within our defense, but again I've liked the progression he's made in the last three years and I think he's still going to get better."
Goree became the fifth Maryland player to earn ACC weekly honors this season, joining a list that includes Stefon Diggs, Dexter McDougle, Marcus Whitfield and A.J. Hendy.
"He's a guy that really wants to do well, he's not afraid of hard work, he's physical," said Edsall. "But again, I think the same thing; he'll just continue to get better as he continues to hone his techniques and continues to get better from a fundamentals standpoint."

after a year the product became hard starting and would not stay running. I dropped it off at the local sears for repairs. they said the carb and internal engine was damages due to stale gas. voided my warranty. so, even after always using fuel stabalizers, draining the fuel after each use. go figure.

Starts on first pull. Very easy to assemble. Have to admit that it gets heavy after a few minutes, but I'm not very strong. Just relaxed for a minute and went right back at it. The blade cut with no problem and the job was done in a short time. Can't wait for the trees to grow again. I loved it so much I ordered a trimmer a few days later, but it hasn't arrived yet to try.

The trimmer was great the first 2 times I used it. The third time there was an issue where the pull start wasnt catching something. End result is now it cant start. Other than this, I liked the power of the trimmer. Right now I have to bring it back to Sears to see if they can get me another one.

Lucid Look Book
I've heard remarks from girls, who told me that sometimes in the morning they're just too much in a rush to think about accessories. What accessories go with the outfit was a dilemma I used to have before I started designing jewelry. I kept that in mind designing. I made sure most pieces I was making were versatile – the ones you don't have to think if they go with the outfit, the ones you can just put on because you like them and wear to work as well as to a date at night. One of these pieces is the tiny circle infinity necklace. Achelle was wearing it to work a couple of days ago.

It says something about White House chief of staff Jack Lew's patriotism, or perhaps his appetite for punishment, that when President Barack Obama offered him the post of Treasury secretary he didn't run screaming down the White House driveway.
Other Cabinet secretaries face grueling second-term battles with Congress - military downsizing, immigration overhaul, gun control, infrastructure spending - but Lew, at Treasury, must deal with two of the most intractable and unavoidable confrontations: deficit reduction now and overhaul of the tax code later.
Most immediately, Lew, as the Obama administration's chief financial negotiator with Congress, must somehow finesse Republican opposition to tax increases and congressional Democrats' equally adamant resistance to any cuts in entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security. It doesn't seem to faze Congress that most economists believe any credible deficit-reduction program must include some of both.
Further complicating his task is an increase in the government's ability to
borrow that comes due in February. Not doing so again could damage the country's credit rating. Congress, playing chicken with the administration, walked up to the edge of that cliff once and pulled back, but all it would take to go over is one serious miscalculation by the GOP's Tea Party movement hardliners.
Lew has held senior posts in both the Clinton and Obama administrations, most notably as White House budget director, so experience isn't a question and, having undergone several confirmation hearings, his background has been repeatedly vetted.
Lew's confirmation will give the parties an ideal occasion to vent, but in the end Lew deserves, and has earned, a quick confirmation.

Great quote today in the comments from DobberHockey member sanstanya, on the Garrison contract:
"In fact, the value of full-blown Edler vs tentative, confused, why-is-Bieksa-my partner-and-what-is-he-doing-way-over-there Edler might be the ultimate measure of the contract at the end of the day."
Scenario. You own Alex Ovechkin in your pool.
Your league counts the usual stuff, as well as hits. How do you value Ovechkin? Under Dale Hunter, he was neutered and put in a secondary role. Under Adam Oates, you can bet the Capitals are going to give him every opportunity to score 60+ again.
Some have speculated that he will pair with Mike Ribeiro on an offensive unit, and a two-way line featuring Laich and Backstrom will play behind them. The idea is just that, an idea, but it does make a lot of sense.
All that being said, let's say you own Ovechkin and you are receiving offers for him. Assuming you don't need any position in particular (I know, not incredibly realistic)… would you accept any of these trades?
1) Eric Staal + Justin Faulk
2) Roberto Luongo + Joffrey Lupul
4) Daniel Sedin
5) Taylor Hall and Justin Schultz
I am curious to see how Ovechkin is valued. Weigh in with your thoughts below.
My fantasy analysis on the Parise/Suter signings:
Congratulations to the Wild and their fans – yesterday was arguably the most exciting in club history. Isn't every day you can add a franchise forward and elite defenseman without giving up anything in return.
Wanted to thank Michael Russo, the beat writer who covers the Wild. He's one of the best in the biz and did a terrific job from start to finish with this one.
Minnesota made a crafty move the day before, signing two-way center Jake Dowell from Dallas. Dowell is a decent player, but he is also a former teammate of Ryan Suter at Wisconsin, and one of his best friends, too.
Even as a Canuck fan, I am a huge fan of these signings. More competition in the Northwest, and it shows that these guys aren't all about money (I know, a weird thing to say after they will each make almost $100 million each, but both players took a lot of time to pick the right fit). Along with Justin Schultz, who chose the Oilers for hockey reasons, it is nice to see players pursuing other things in free agency beyond the dollar signs.
There are lots of line combination options, and here is my best guess as of now:
Powe/Dowell – Konopka – Mitchell
The Wild could use another defenseman, but that sure looks like a playoff club to me. And on the way in a few years – Johan Larsson, Charlie Coyle, Zach Phillips, Jason Zucker, and more.
What does this mean for Shea Weber? If he doesn't want to sign a long-term deal with the Predators, I think the club has to entertain the idea of trading him this summer.
There would be no shortage of teams interested, and the cost would obviously be significant. Nashville went all in this year, and came up short. They have some great young defensemen, but Pekka Rinne and company will be in tough to repeat their successes next year.
If I am Edmonton, I call up David Poile and offer Jordan Eberle for Shea Weber ASAP. I love Eberle, but Weber would give the Oilers a franchise defenseman to go along with their potential three/four franchise forwards.
What does this mean for the teams in pursuit of the two players?
For Pittsburgh, who were really hot after Parise, I don't think this forces them into anything. They have a lot of cap space and can sit back a bit and see where the cards fall. Or they could take a chance on Alex Semin on a one year deal and pair him with Crosby. Could score 50 there.
For Detroit, they need to add a defenseman. Does Jay Bouwmeester enter in to the equation? Right now the Wings have a top four of Kronwall, White, Ericsson, and Quincey. Smith and Kindl are nice young players, but I don't think the Wings want to rely on either of them to play a lot of minutes just yet.
For New Jersey, this likely means that Ilya Kovalchuk is moving back to the left wing. I don't see it affecting his fantasy value much, but this does hurt most of New Jersey's other players.
For Nashville, this depends on what they do with Weber. Right now, there is no one to replace Suter, but that could change with a trade or signing (the team is reportedly interested in Matt Carle, who is a poor man's Suter).
I am a huge Roman Josi fan, but he's not ready for top pairing minutes. Mattias Ekholm is coming back over from Sweden. They probably won't be able to replace Suter, but they are better off than most other teams would be given their depth on defense.
My thoughts on Josi from 2011:
10. Roman Josi – Nashville Predators
Unlike Blum and Ellis, Josi has earned his reputation as a top offensive prospect the hard way. He isn't Canadian (Swiss), and he wasn't a high draft pick (38th overall in 2008). This season has been his first in North America, and the adjustment has been near-seamless. Through 54 games with the Admirals, Josi has six goals and 30 points. The first thing you notice about Josi when watching him play is his crisp accurate passes, and his heady decision-making.
Like Blum, I hesitated to put Josi on this list because of Nashville's embarrassment of riches on defense. However, like Blum, I believe that skill and hockey sense prevail in the end (ether through finding ice time or the forcing of a trade). He plays with a ton of confidence and loves rushing the puck. He recently had a 13-game point streak in the AHL – an incredibly impressive feat for any defenseman, let alone a rookie.
Player Comparison: Kimmo Timonen
Some other thoughts from the past few days:
I could see Dallas splitting up their scoring into an offensive unit and more of a two-way unit, since they don't really have a checking line right now.
Offensive unit:
Defensive unit:
Cody Eakin will likely center the third line, but he isn't ready to be an NHL checker. Verne Fiddler is a solid depth forward, but he isn't great defensively. More of a depth two-way option.
The Stars could also balance their two lines and put Jagr with Eriksson and Benn, freeing up Whitney to play with Roy and Ryder.
Roy hasn't been the same player since tearing his quad in 2011. He has a lot to play for now – he has contended with trade rumors for the past few years, and is now playing for a new contract in a brand new environment. Skill has never been the question with him, but effort and consistency both have.
The Coyotes have replaced Ray Whitney with Steve Sullivan. Sullivan grew tired of waiting for the Penguins and decided to join the Desert Dogs. I'll likely slot in to the top six/nine somewhere (Phoenix has so many similar players it is hard to see who is line one, two, or three at the moment).
There are a ton of teams after Shane Doan, and for good reason. He's a strong two-way player and a terrific leader, and he is heavily motivated to win after getting so close this past postseason in Phoenix. The Rangers, Flyers, and Canucks would all love to add Doan. Doan's heart and family is on Phoenix, but his future there depends on their murky ownership issues.
Where does Rick Nash go? I think Carolina would be a great fit for him, not only because he would get to play with Jordan and Eric Staal on a potentially dominant top unit. The 'Canes would also have the assets to give Columbus what they want in return. I'd imagine a package featuring Ryan Murphy, Zac Dalpe, and another forward would get Columbus on the phone.
Florida prospect Nick Bjugstad is going to decide soon whether he turns pro or spends one more year in the NCAA. I think another year would serve him well – he went from a 'very good' prospect to a 'stud' prospect in 2011-12 at Minnesota, and one more year of development couldn't hurt him. The Panthers don't really need to rush him, either.
Started work on the DobberHockey 2012-13 Fantasy Guide – this year I am going to implement a brand new section that will incorporate advanced statistics to fantasy analysis. I have had a ton of fun brainstorming ideas and I know you guys are going to eat this stuff up. Really useful, relevant, and not being done anywhere else.
The Canucks apparently offered Olli Jokinen a one-year contract. I wonder what that says about Ryan Kesler's injury recovery? As it stands right now, Kesler will be out until November. Potential lines:
Lots can change (and lots will), but Vancouver would love to add a center. I'm surprised by the Jokinen offer, though. When Kesler comes back, where does Jokinen slot in? L3, I guess, and then Lapierre would slide to wing. Lapierre has been very good with the Canucks and I think he deserves a shot to center L3 – he did a great job of it during their Cup run, going up against the likes of Joe Pavelski and coming out ahead.
Illegal Curve takes a look at some potential line combos in Winnipeg. Points for thinking outside-the-box:
Machacek was a guy I saw a lot of in the WHL. Solid two-way player with no stand out qualities. Great complimentary winger to better linemates. I like the look of that third line, as well. A lot of size on the wing for the talented Burmistrov to play with.
How much does shot quality matter? Not a whole lot. If you read one thing today (after the ramblings, that is), read this link.
"I don't think anyone believes that there is no such thing as shot quality, that all shots are equal. The argument is actually that most shot quality effects are smaller than people think, and that over the sample sizes we normally work with, differences in shot quality tend to be dominated more by noise than talent. In this article, I'll walk through some examples and try to emphasize the subtle difference between saying shot quality is meaningless and saying it is often negligible."
Ryan Johansen has put on 15 pounds this summer – great news as he was pushed around a bit as a rookie. He's just under 220 pounds. Johansen is one of the top prospects in hockey and will be a guy the Jackets build around once Rick Nash is traded.
Jason Garrison wasn't signed for his 16 goals, a point I have tried to get across to a few people (cough, Dobber) on here. Advanced stats paint a picture of one of the best defensive defensemen in the game.
'Offensively, Garrison should be expected to score upwards of five goals. I doubt that the Canucks front office or coaching staff expects him to repeat the 16 he scored last season, but that wasn't the reason he was signed. His big shot from the point does help to alleviate the team's loss of Sami Salo, but there was more that went into this signing than offence.
For the two full seasons that Garrison has been in the NHL, he's been quietly one of its best defensive defencemen. The Canucks are hoping this trend continues.'
Scary moment a few days ago, as Phoenix player Brett MacLean suffered a cardiac emergency while playing hockey in Owen Sound. MacLean was once a highly touted prospect, but has struggled a bit at the NHL level. Sending my best wishes to him and hoping for a speedy recovery. Very scary to see this stuff happen to anyone, especially a healthy athlete in his 20s.
The Jets have signed Al Montoya to back up Ondrej Pavelec. Montoya struggled after returning from a concussion last season. He didn't receive much support on Long Island, though.
Some quotes from Parise and Suter to wrap the ramblings up.
"Ryan and I had talked throughout the year, at the time you always say to each other, 'Wouldn't it be great to have a chance play with each other on the same team?' Was it realistic at the time? I don't know. Different teams have to have the availability. I know how great Ryan is ... to have an opportunity to play with a guy of that caliber is a great opportunity. We kept in touch throughout the whole process. You have to decide what is best for you.
How to say his last name: "I pronounce it "Par-e-zee."
"When the season ends and you start thinking what's next, big thing is my family, obviously. They were an option right away, Minnesota, and I always thought about Minnesota, it just never seemed realistic, but for me, right after the season, you think about places you could potentially go to, and the situation that is best for you and your family."
Suter showing off his shot:
Don't forget - this guy is still available:

Last season, while he was neck and neck for the championship (which hed won the previous two seasons) and in need of both defense and goaltending I made the two following offers:
-Lundqvist for Ovechkin
-Getzlaf/Doughty/Schneider/Smith (Brendan)/8th overall pick
He barely considered either....seriously, I don't understand how some of the posters in the forums are requesting advice on if they're giving up too much for Ovie because they're losing Sam Gagner and Brent Burns. I wish I had that problem...

doulos said:
Gillis is smart and so there are reasons to believe that they did their due diligence here. Also, the underlying stats and metrics on Garrison are quite good, so that's a positive.
I think that a tempered wait and see with him is likely the best response since it could go either way. He's certainly not on my draft list anywhere though.

I take Giroux...thats it.
JHM said:
1) Eric Staal + Justin Faulk
No - Very far apart. LW means Ovy is equal to Staal last season. Then the upside thoughts. Faulk is a puppy with a short interesting track record. He'll have ups & downs.
2) Roberto Luongo + Joffrey Lupul
Hmmm. No. Too much risk. Luongo is enough older that age could become a factor. Band Aid Boy Lupul has shown one interesting splash. Not enough security to get me going.
3) Claude Giroux
Maybe. For the "Nervous Nelly" pull the trigger on this, if Giroux is a winger. Remember a year from today, when Giroux is a centre and Ovy has another 90 pointer under his belt, that you gave away your Ovy because you were too nervous.
4) Daniel Sedin
No. Age factor is a discussion now. Sedin must CRUSH Ovy several times, to make it EVEN.
5) Taylor Hall and Justin Schultz
No. Ovy is young. Taylor has hasn't proven he can do it yet (I'd like to get my fingers on him though) and Justin Schultz hasn't played a game in the NHL. Counting on Schultz for more than 30, as a rookie, is nonsense. Cam Fowler, MDZ and what other rookie D-men have broken the 50 point barrier in the past five years. Schultz is a bit older (21). The only other comparable coming from the NCAA in recent years is Smith. They're good kids. They both could become awesome. One could become awesome. They both could become steadies. In exchange for a proven Super Star in the early part of his prime... not a chance.
Go get Ovy today. Now's the time.

Kenzan Kanzaki said:
It seems to me that Luongo is going to move out of Vancouver. When he does, he will settle in with a team and system that will trust and support him - both on and off of the ice. At the end of last season, it did not look like the Canucks did either of these things ... I do not foresee Luongo staying in that system any longer, even to serve in a "mentor" role for any future prospects. Schneider has proven that he can stand on his own without that kind of support from a veteran at this point and can be trusted with the No.1 job without Luongo. Granted, this deal would be a lot easier to take after Luo moves rather than go balls-to-the-walls with him.
As for Lupul, maybe it's just me, but I enjoy watching him play. I have him in one of my leagues, and it was great to see him explode offensively before he got injured. Before this season, I thought of him as a rather quiet player and solid all-around ... I picked him up because he contributed to all stats even though he is a Band-Aid Boy. With the way he played this season, I'm keeping him for next and would take him in this trade for Ovi.

bitterwingsfan said:
Backstory: I won the league the year prior and was looking to be the first to repeat back to back as champion. I had a playoff caliber team but it wasn't nearly as strong as the year prior for a number of reasons. Ovechkin's scoring numbers being what they were, I wasn't snagging points stats as much as I had the year before (he was still point a game then, even if it was a down year at the time). Hits had been added for the first time in the '10 season and it was one of my biggest advantages. Other managers took notice and beefed up this past season so that was another area I lost ground on. Finally, goaltending, which was a strength in '10, turned to an achilles heel in '11. The only shot I really had to repeat was to make some moves to try to strengthen up for the playoffs. One area I needed help in, besides net, was RW.
The Trade: Manager already out of playoff contention and looking to improve for next season shot me an offer with the following note: "For the playoff push." The deal was Kovalchuk and Kessel for Ovechkin.
Notes: This was before Carlyle became the Leafs coach and obviously before Hunter quit coaching in the NHL (who does that btw?). Should definitely had known the Caps coaching situation was only temporary. On paper, this move should have improved all my present scoring stats but in reality I'm not sure it helped that much. I was bounced in the first round despite the trade. In retrospect, I believe I should have held off, faced the facts that I didn't have a winning team this year, and looked to improve for this fall. I don't think this trade kills me but if I had to do it again, hindsight being 20/20, not sure that I would. Potential bragging rights and ego clouded my judgement a bit.
Of the trades mentioned in the ramblings, I'd consider Giroux for Ovechkin but Claude is probably a pure center for position eligibility going forward. In that case, probably best to stay with the winger.
Southpaw20 said:
Isle B. said:
2) No. Not with Luongo in limbo. Also, Lupul plays about 50-65 games a season, whereas Ovechkin plays 75-82.
3) Yes. Giroux is as good as anyone in the league right now other than a healthy Crosby
4) Yes. Ovechkin may have the upside over D Sedin, but he also has more downside.
5) No. Taylor Hall has yet to get through a season or produce at an All-Star clip for any considerable length of time. Also, there have been way too many defensemen to come into the league with great fanfare and proceed to do nothing much offensively (Larsson, Hedman, Gilroy, etc.).

I dunno about the stats but I still see Garrison as having an avg defensive game, willing to be proved wrong though.
leaftodd said:
If they were cap leagues i wouldn't take any of those options.
sanstanya said:
So I guess the 1st point is: he is far better defensively than he is being given credit for, while folks over-focus on the unlikeliness of reproducing his offensive totals.
And unlike Allen, he offers the real possibility of offensive production. If Allen, with zero chance of ever scoring 5 goals in a season is worth 3.5, how is an equal defender with the possibility of producing as well not worth an extra million a year? Even if Garrison never scores 16 again, which I doubt he does, hitting 8-10 would be a boon. What's more, without reghistering on the scoreboard at all he can create opportunities due to both his skillset directly, as well as the adjustment opponents have to make (that they don't have to make vs. a guy like Allen), that warrant valuation.
So the 2nd point is: if a high end defensive specialist is worth 3.5, there must be some incremental value to offensive ability.
A further consideration is that people are frequently comparing the contract to other's signed 3+ years ago, failing to consider what has chanegd with respect to the cap (and the contract's proportion thereof) and the market in general. Most of those guys would be getting big raises if they signed this year instead of a few years ago when the cap was much lower. It is a market with incredible inflation that fans always seem to be 2-5 years behind in their understanding or acceptance of.
If Garrison can be half as productive on the scoreboard while being a Hamhuis-like defensive anchor, perhaps freeing up Edler to do his thing (which he only fully does when playing with a true anchor that he trusts) this contract will no doubt be full value. In fact, the value of full-blown Edler vs tentative, confused, why-is-Bieksa-my partner-and-what-is-he-doing-way-over-there Edler might be the ultimate measure of the contract at the end of the day.
That said I'm not a fan of NTC clauses, for anyone other than a team's elite core few. That part is bush.
Face said:
Roy plays a hell of a lot more defense than Ribeiro did which will take some of the difficult minutes away from Benn. Last year Benn played in all situations because Ribs didn't.
Morrow will be pushed to the third line where he belongs. Surprisingly the lines in Dallas make sense. Should be interesting

1. Adam Foote
2. score 10-12 minimum
And since Garrison is
1. not Adam Foote, Bryan Allen at best.
He was overpaid. You yourself, Angus, said beforehand that based on advanced stats (which you may be leaning on too strongly) he was worth $3.5-$4. I'll buy that. But that's saying $4.6 is $600,000 too high, by any standard (even yours). And the term is nuts.
But, if he truly is the second coming of Adam Foote and chips in 10 goals a year, he's a steal by Year 4 at that price. I wouldn't have offered that contract to him, but I have a lot of respect for Mike Gillis so I'll take a leap of faith.
Nice ramblings, very solid
OceanMon said:
Ryan Ma said:
But with that said, I think it'll depend on how he'll be utilized by the Nucks which will determine the value of his contract.
If you look at the depth charts. They have Edler, Bieksa, Hamhuis, Garrison, Ballard, Alberts and Tanev...
Lets knock Alberts and Tanev out of the equation, so you're left with 5 D.
Garrison put up great numbers in FLA because he was given the green light. 23:41 and 2:31 on the PP also reeling off 33 points, 127 hits, 124 BS and 168 SOG while being a great secondary complement to Brian Campbell... So that enabled him to become a "solid defenseman" cause he was given plenty of opportunity.
Now if you look at a similar case in Ballard (09-10). 22:24 and 1:58 on the PP while reeling off 28 points, 156 hits, 201 BS and 90 SOG, while he was a great complement to McCabe as the number 2 that year. He was largely considered a great 2-way guy ready to bust out...
He goes to the Nucks as a #6, suddenly he drops to 15:54 with 0:12 on the PP. 7 points, 99 hit, 111 BS and 53 SOG. He suddenly becomes a very overpaid #6 for Vancouver.
The depth charts have cleared up a bit with the departure of Salo, but I still don't think that Garrison will leapfrog Edler, Bieksa or Hamhuis on the offensive front, which leaves him competing with Ballard for the #4 slot... Now if he's given a lot of the PP TOI that Salo leaves behind (2:45), and produces, then his contract is well worth it, but if that time goes to Bieksa and Hamhuis, Garrison could end up in a situation much like Ballard being overpaid and not bringing a lot to his position.

Fast Tony DeNiro said:
Yes he's a very good defensive guy. So are a lot of other players, and they make 2 million. It's not a terrible signing because with that shot, he definitely has the ability to chip in some offense. But I do think they signed him for at least a million too much.

Groups administrator FAQ
See About Google Groups.
The Google Groups for Business service is similar to the free version of Google Groups, but was designed to work specifically with the enterprise environment. See the Google Groups for Business administrator FAQ for questions related to the business version.
With Google Apps, you can create up to 10 groups. With Google Apps for Business and Education, you can create as many groups for your organization's account as you like.
With Google Apps, a group can contain up to 100 members. With Google Apps for Business and Education, there's no limit to the number of members a group can have. However, if the group contains external members, note that there is a limit to the number of messages you can send to external recipients per day (see next question).
Yes, to fight spam and email abuse, Google limits the number of messages you can send at once to external recipients. If you send a message to a group, each external member is counted as one recipient.
Learn more about groups message sending limits
Learn more about email sending limits
Learn more about best practices for sending a large amount of email through Gmail
Yes. Also to fight spam and email abuse, Google limits the number of messages sent to any single group within a short period of time. This limit applies to messages sent over email or posted via the web.
Learn more about group posting limits
Yes, a user can be direct member of up to 2000 groups. A user is a direct member of a group if his or her address was added directly to the members list. A user can also be an indirect member of a group -- that is, an owner of a group or a member of a group that's nested within another group. A user's total group memberships -- both direct and indirect combined -- can be up to 5000. Learn more about group members and owners
Yes, the maximum size limit for messages sent to a group is 25 MB, including attachments (the normal Gmail limit). Group owners or managers can edit specific groups to set lower size limits. The default size for a message sent in Google Groups is 5 MB.
You can't send or forward non-delivery receipts (NDRs) -- also called "bounce messages" -- to a group. Messages that resemble NDRs are also not permitted.
Yes, when creating a group with the Admin console, you can choose which of your domains you want to use for the group's email address.
By default, the group email address is generated from the group name, in the form: group-name@your_domain
For example, a group of sales at domain example.com will have a default email address of: firstname.lastname@example.com
You may modify the default address via the group's settings.
You have the option of allowing people outside your domain to send messages to a group. If a malicious sender knows that group's address, members of the group might receive more spam. We strongly recommend that you carefully consider the options you choose for any groups you create.
To improve spam filtering for a specific group, you can change the Group's Spam moderation settings.
Currently, a group appears in Contacts, under All Contacts, only after you send a message to that group.
Yes, just start typing a group address in an email message or calendar invitation, and the address will be completed automatically.
No. If you send an email message or meeting invitation to a group, recipients see only the group name (rather than individual names or addresses) in the To line of the message or invitation.
If you invite a group to a meeting, all of the group's members appear in the invitation on your calendar only if you have the appropriate access permissions for that group. This limitation upholds the privacy settings for a group, and it applies to both users and administrators. Learn more
Yes, a group can also contain the addresses of other groups, so you can use groups as building blocks for larger groups. Learn more
Yes, message moderation is available if you enable the Google Groups for Business service.
