New Build Basement, Hampstead, North London
New Build Basement, Hampstead
Combined Systems Type A and C Waterproofing Protection provides Grade 3 Habitable Environment to BS8102:2009
Project Details Architect – Adams Architecture
Main Contractor – Walter Lilly
Newton Specialist Basement Contractor – MacLennan-LSE
To discuss any waterproofing project, for new build basements or basement refurbishment projects our technical team would be delighted to help, call us on 01732 360 095
Newton Specialist Basement Contractor MacLennan-LSE was commissioned by the client to work with the architect to design a robust structural waterproofing scheme to achieve a Grade 3 habitable environment to this extensive new build basement project in Hampstead North London
Methodology for Waterproofing this New Build Basement in Hampstead
MacLennan-LSE designed and installed a combination system of Type A sprayed Polyprufe and Type C drained cavity protection Newton System 500 to waterproof the new build basement.
The internal system involved "curtain hanging" the Newton 508 membrane to all internal 250mm thick reinforced concrete retaining walls as a means of diverting any water that was to enter through the construction joints to the wall floor junction. At the wall floor junction, Newton Basedrain was installed within a layer of "closed cell insulation" with another layer of Newton 508 installed on top of the insulation layer.
With the layers in situ, a 65mm screed was installed with underfloor heating embedded prior to the wall finishes (independent dry lining system) being installed. With the Newton 508 membrane raised up higher than the top of the Basedrain, any water ingression was then displaced through the weight of the screed back to the Basedrain for removal to dual sump and pump systems.
MacLennan-LSE was able to install the combined system in the middle of winter with adverse weather conditions not effecting the time of installation of the system as is often the case with external waterproofing applications.
Benefits of Waterproofing the New Build Basement with Type A and Type C Systems
- BBA approved Newton System 500 was able to be designed, installed and guaranteed as a package by MacLennan-LSE.
- As the system was installed by MacLennan-LSE, they were able to take full PI on design and offer a 20 year insured backed guarantee.
- The internal system installed required minimal surface preparation and was not affected by the constraints of near zero degree temperatures that were on site

The trip starts with a flight into Hobart and lodgings for three days at The Islington, a luxury hotel built in the Regency style in 1847. Travellers can dine at Peppermint Bay, famous for its seafood. There are also outdoor activities such as fishing and kayaking for the more active. Holiday-makers will then go to Freycinet National Park for the remaining three days of their Tasmanian trip, staying at the Saffire Freycinet; a dramatic work of architecture located on Coles Bay, which includes a spa, restaurant and forty luxurious rooms.

On the third day, travellers go to Torrent Bay to walk to Onetahuti and the historic site of Tonga Quarry. Bark Bay is the lunch-stop and the perfect place to relax or swim. The night is spent in the splendid Torrent Bay Lodge, with the fourth day discovering Torrent Bay itself, including the historic Maori sites in Pitt Head. The fifth and final day covers the beautiful Abel Tasman coastal area. This itinerary is only one example of the fantastic luxury trips to New Zealand available with Bridge & Wickers.

Found January 11, 2013 on
Fox Sports Tennessee:
Titans coach Mike Munchak is parting ways with special teams coach Alan Lowry, the designer of the Music City Miracle play that spurred Tennessee's lone Super Bowl run in 2000, said eople familiar with the decision.
The people say Munchak has told Lowry his contract would not be renewed. The people spoke to The Associated Press Friday on the condition of anonymity because the team is not announcing any moves until all coaching changes are completed.
Lowry just finished his 17th season with the franchise, the last 14 coaching special teams. He designed Home Run Throwback that the Titans used to beat Buffalo in an AFC wild-card game in January 2000.
The Tennessean first reported the move.
Lowry had been with the franchise as a coach almost as long as Munchak, who started his coaching career with the team in 1994. Lowry joined the then-Houston Oilers in 1996 as a defensive assistant for quality control after also coaching at the 49ers, Tampa Bay and Dallas. Lowry took over special teams in 1999, the team's first season as the Titans when they went 13-3 and needed that lateral from Frank Wycheck to Kevin Dyson for the winning touchdown against Buffalo.
He helped coach Derrick Mason and Marc Mariani to the Pro Bowl as returners, the last in 2010 in Mariani's rookie season. In 2012, the Titans returned a kickoff and three punts for touchdowns in 2012, including one punt return featuring another lateral. The Titans also ranked seventh in the NFL averaging 40.4 yards net on punts and 15th averaging 23.6 yards on kickoff returns.
But Tennessee also had two punts blocked.
Munchak has been very busy since the Titans concluded a 6-10 season in his second year as head coach after owner Bud Adams decided to keep him on the job for 2013.
Lowry becomes the fourth assistant coach either to have his contract not renewed or fired since the season ended, not counting offensive coordinator Chris Palmer who was fired Nov. 26. Munch fired linebackers coach Frank Bush and tight ends coach John Zernheldt, who had a year left on his contract, while not retaining running backs coach Jim Skipper.
Munchak also has to decide whether to keep Dowell Loggains as his offensive coordinator or move him back to the quarterbacks assistant coaching job that has been open since he fired Palmer. Also, defensive coordinator Jerry Gray's status remains a big question after the Titans set a franchise record allowing 471 points in 2012.

There is currently a price war on ink. HP and others have long sold their printers at lowball prices and subsidizing it with ginormous markup on ink and toner.

iPhone App-KJV Bible Audiobook
Posted by Peter in Bible, Bible Translations, Christianity on March 23, 2010
This past weekend I downloaded an iPhone app that I love. It is the KJV Bible Audiobook.
I am unfamiliar with the developer (iTourSoftware) or the church affiliation, but the app is first rate. It is much more than an audiobook. It is really a KJV Bible application with the option to listen. The user interface, search function, bookmarks and notes features are simple to use and more than adequate for their purpose.
This app won't replace a Bible study app like Logos, but the audio function definitely makes this app worth having. I have downloaded, tried and erased several iPhone Bible apps, but this one is a keeper.
And best of all it's free. You can donate, of course, and the proceeds support a good cause as best I can tell. I haven't found where the app is available for other smartphones, so sorry non-iPhone users.
Note: since the app contains the entire audio KJV Bible, it will take a while to download on wifi (it took me almost an hour), or you can transfer from iTunes. But, the app loads and runs fast and I have not noticed any side effects from the file size. Enjoy!

Book Review-The King James Only Controversy
Posted by Peter in Bible, Bible Translations, Book Reviews, Christianity, God, Greek, Hebrew, New Testament, Old Testament, Theology on June 3, 2009
I want to thank Bethany House for the courtesy copy of The King James Only Controversy: Can You Trust Modern Translations? (2nd ed.) by James R. White.
Book Details:
The King James Only Controversy: Can You Trust Modern Translations?
James R. White
Bethany House, March 2009
Buy The King James Only Controversy @ Amazon
I want to begin by sharing two initial thoughts. Well, actually, one thought and secondly a disclaimer. First, The King James Only Controversy is much more than a simple journalistic account of the "King James only" debate. It is a primer for the non-scholar who is, even if only casually, interested in Bible translation and the accompanying philosophies and methodologies.
Second, my only exposure to the controversy has been on the internet (other than a snide remark here or there by television preachers about "watered-down versions" ). I live in an NIV-primarily region of the country. I most frequently read the NASB, but my pastor preaches out of the NKJV, so I carry that with me on Sundays. Thus, I incline toward the author's conclusions even before reading the book. It is a bias that I don't think influences my review of the book, but it is a bias I want to disclose.
James R. White's treatment of the "King James only" debate is thorough, well supported by evidence, and written so as to be easily understood by the casual observer or participant. He begins by dividing the King James only advocates into five distinct and increasingly radical camps: 1) "I like the KJV Best" (which he takes no issue with), 2) "The Textual Argument" (that the Hebrew and Greek texts used by the KJV translators are superior), 3) "Received Text Only" (that the Textus Receptus and Hebrew text utilized by the KJV translators are inerrant), 4) "The Inspired KJV Group" (who believe the KJV is itself an inspired and inerrant translation, the group White identifies as the majority of the KJV only advocates), and 5) "The KJV as New Revelation" (that the KJV is "re-inspired" and the English text is an inerrant revelation superior even to the Hebrew and Greek texts).
White then gives the reader a brief overview of translation history and the translation process, explaining textual vs. translation disputes, translation methods, textual criticism, and the ancient texts used by translators. Then, very systematically, White explains the irony of the KJV onlyists making the exact arguments that were made against the original KJV translators and against Erasmus (whose Textus Receptus was used by the KJV translators) before that. To put it in polite terms, the argument of the KJV only camp, as well as those who opposed the original King James Version (the Authorized Version everywhere except the U.S.), is an argument for traditionalism.
The heart of the book is White's analysis of many of the verses in controversy and his defense of the various translations' renderings. Where there are variations in the ancient manuscripts that lead to different translations, White also provides convincing explanations for the textual variants which include simple scribal error, parallel influence (a scribe's attempt to harmonize scripture), and what White dubs "expansion of piety" (a scribes attempt to make a passage sound a little better, e.g. expanding "the Christ" to "Jesus the Christ").
White concludes Part One of The King James Only Controversy with a chapter devoted exclusively to questions and answers. Part Two is a 30-page technical treatment of many of the issues raised in Part One for the reader who is proficient in koine Greek and familiar with ancient Biblical texts, although it is not essential for the casual reader to read and understand Part One.
In conclusion, in his effort to counter the KJV only advocates, James R. White is necessarily critical of the King James Version. However, I suspect White would be the first to say to the reader whose preference is the KJV to continue in that preference. White does not advocate for any particular translation, only for an understanding that many modern translation are equally legitimate, and, in some instances, superior to the King James Version with respect to certain translation issues. Whether your particular interest is the "King James only" debate or not, if you are at all interested in Bible translation or the history thereof, The King James Only Controversy is well worth your time.

Baby Got Book
Posted by Peter in Bible, Bible Translations, Christianity, Cool Stuff, Humor on June 2, 2009
As you may know, I personally prefer thinlines and compact Bibles for day-to-day use. But, my wife regularly reads her NIV Life Application Study Bible, which is 5lbs. if it's an ounce. So, my baby definitely "got book."
This is pretty darn funny, especially if you remember Sir Mix a Lot and his classic (which I never listened to, but I did hear about it from friends ;) )

Falling in Love with the King James Version All Over Again Because of Words Like "Concupiscence"
Posted by Peter in Bible, Bible Translations on February 12, 2009
For the last several months I have been reading my King James Version every day deliberately. I want to reacquaint myself with it. I have intentionally set aside my primary reading and study Bible, the New American Standard Bible (NASB), specifically to reread the King James Version.
And, I've got to confess, I'm loving it. Admittedly, I once a hard time with the King James, but not any more (I might even try to go back and reread Shakespeare – kidding).
I especially love words like "concupiscence:"
But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. Romans 7:8.
You won't find that in any of the modern translations, and I understand why, but doesn't concupiscence just sound cool?
Scofield Study Bible – An Oldie But Goodie
Posted by Peter in Bible, Bible Translations, Book Reviews, Christianity, God, Jesus on November 6, 2008
I just recently acquired an Oxford University Press Scofield Study Bible (KJV). It is black bonded leather with the 1917 notes. It's really quite lovely.
I don't want to get into a whole debate about dispensationalist theology – I'll leave that to others – suffice it to say, I am not a dispensationalist, although there are elements of dispensationalist theology worthy of more exploration (on my part). And, if the fact that the Scofield Study Bible is unashamedly dispensationalist causes you grief, I understand. I also understand that a lot has changed since 1917, and our understanding of history, archeology, and science are completely different than it was nearly a century ago. But I do want to share a part of what is written in the introduction.
I know most people don't bother to read the xx or so pages of introductory material at the front of their Bibles. Translation philosophies, explanatory essays, and dreadful lists of acknowledgments are for the truly hard core.
I, however, happen to fall into this category, ask my wife. She will testify that the first thing I do when we check into a hotel room is read the over-sized hotel binder cover-to-cover. I want to know about the facilities, amenities, services, attractions, etc. (you never know when you might need an aspirin at 3 a.m., and I want to know if I will have to leave the hotel, trek down to a "gift shop," or call for room service). The same goes for my Bibles.
On page v of my new Scofield Study Bible, there is a section of the introduction entitled "A Panoramic View of the Bible." Without going into the whole thing, one of the sections struck me:
First. The Bible is one book. Seven great marks attest this unity. (1) From Genesis the Bible bears witness to one God. Wherever he speaks or acts he is consistent with himself, and with the total revelation concerning him. (2) The Bible forms one continuous story – the story of humanity in relation to God. (3) The Bible hazards the most unlikely predictions concerning the future, and, when the centuries have brought round the appointed time, records their fulfillment. (4) The Bible is a progressive unfolding of truth. Nothing is told all at once, and once and for all. The law is, "first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn." Without the possibility of collusion, often with centuries between, one writer of Scripture takes up an earlier revelation, adds to it, lays down the pen, and in due time another man moved by the Holy Spirit, and another, and another, add new details till the whole is complete. (5) From beginning to end the Bible testifies to one redemption. (6) From beginning to end the Bible has one great theme – the person and work of the Christ. (7) And, finally, these writers, some forty-four in number, writing through twenty centuries, have produced a perfect harmony of doctrine in progressive unfolding. This is, to every candid mind, the unanswerable proof of the Divine inspiration of the Bible (italics in original).
If there is a better, more succinct apologetic for the divine nature of scripture in print, I am unaware of it. Perhaps some of you will enlighten me. Thoughts?
What Makes a Bible Translation Authoritative? My Top Five
Posted by Peter in Bible, Bible Translations, Book Reviews, Christianity on October 9, 2008
ElShaddai Edwards at He Is Sufficient posed this question: What makes a Bible translation authoritative?
It's a compelling question, and one that has stuck with me for about a month now. I meant to tackle this question three weeks ago, but I have been swamped lately, so I have a lot of catching up to do. Here was my initial reaction to his post (copied directly from the comment I left):
Great question! Since I was set free of my own legalistic approach to finding THE best/most accurate translation, I have adopted a "when in Rome" mentality. I know which Bible most of the pastors at the churches we attend preach from (not that we are members at several, but between visiting parents, grandparents, etc. we can hit 4-5 fairly regularly) and I try to carry that Bible with me.
I would measure authority by how well God speaks to the individual through a given translation. I "get" the NASB, so I get from the NASB. This is not to say that a child who is touched by a children's version should always regard that version as authoritative, but why not? Jacob called the place where he met God "Beit El," so I would suggest sort of a "Biblia El" standard, the translation where you meet God.
I still believe this, but I think it is incomplete because it only answers the question on an individual or micro level. I recognize that anyone could receive from a given translation whether it is considered authoritative (by the reading public at large, or on a macro level) or not. However, I would still recommend this approach to help determine what one's personal reading Bible should be.
ElShaddai discusses two of the most common measurements of authority, which are, in short:
- Popularity: Popularity = Influence = Authority; and
- Objective Excellence: Accuracy, literary style, readability, etc.
I suppose that by employing a popularity standard, the King James Version (KJV) and the New International Version (NIV) are the most authoritative. I think the influence of the King James Version is unquestionable, and the New International Version seems to be the Bible of choice for many in America.
Ironically, it is the "objective" standard that is muddied so much by subjectivity. Which translation is the most accurate? The King James or the New American Standard (NASB)? Which is the most readable? The New Living Translation (NLT), the NIV or the TNIV? Does anyone other than a small number of bibliobloggers even care? I would certainly hope so, but I fall into the small-number-of-bibliobloggers category (or should it be bibliabloggers?).
Based on the Christian Booksellers Association's (CBA's) list of best-selling Bible translations for October 2008 (by units sold and sales dollars), the top four selling Bible translations are the NIV, NLT, KJV and NKJV. If you (bloggers specifically) still doubt the "authority" of the NIV, check out Rick Mansfield's post about which Bible translations are blogged the most (admittedly it is somewhat dated (8/06), but I doubt the numbers have changed that dramatically). So, if popularity is the measure, the NIV reigns supreme, followed by the NLT, KJV and NKJV.
I doubt that satisfies any of my biblioblogging brethren (and brethren includes biblioblogging brothers and sisters, and that includes you too tc) because it doesn't really satisfy me (my own personal favorite, the NASB, is not on the list). I see only one objective (mostly) way to measure authority, apply both and see what happens.
According to the CBA's October sales numbers the top five selling Bible translations are: 1) NIV, 2) NLT, 3) NKJV, 4) KJV, and 5) tie, English Standard Version (ESV) and Holman Christian Standard (HCSB) (ESV in units sold; HCSB in $). Now, regarding objective excellence, my own person subjectivity necessarily comes into play, but I think the most influential translations because of their historic objective excellence are 1) KJV, 2) NASB, and 3) New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) (and its predecessors the RSV, RV and ASV).
Applying both standards, the only Bible translation that is in the top five in terms of sales and also in the top three in terms of historical objective excellence is the KJV. I suppose this should come as no surprise, but it should confirm what most already suspect. Here is a little table of my findings:
A few qualifiers:
- I only took into account English translations.
- I only took into account those translations appearing on the CBA Best Sellers Top 10. Sorry ElShaddai, no REB on this list.
- The CBA only takes into account Christian booksellers (I don't think, for example, Barnes & Noble and the like are accounted for).
Here they are, my top five most authoritative Bible translations:
1. King James Version – This is as objective as I can make it, and the KJV reigns supreme.
2. New American Standard Bible – #6 in $ and #8 in units sold, so it was pretty close, but, alas, only #2.
3. New International Version – Can you really argue with the numbers?
4. New Living Translation – Again, can you really argue with the numbers?
5. New King James Version – Although bloggers aren't in love with it, it's top 5 in units and $.
Honorable Mentions:
The greatest proof of this post's objectivity is that these aren't in the top five:
A. Holman Christian Standard Bible – #5 in $ and #6 in units sold, not bad at all, and one of my favorites.
B. English Standard Version – #7 in $ and #5 in units sold, a relative newcomer that will be near the top of this list soon.
C. New Revised Standard Version – #8 in $ and #9 in units sold, still a classic if not a little stale.

Any Bypasses Legal? 50' right of way?
I know this topic has come up before but with the heightened enforcement activity it might be a good idea to put it out there again. Might save some poor guy hitting the trail for the first time a few hundred bucks by keeping him on the proper trail and encourage others to keep it on the straight and narrow too
My understanding is there is a 50' easement, 25' on either side that is legitimate for you to have your vehicle on. Only makes sense though that if your cutting your own path through the bushes but your still within 25' your going to get a ticket. I believe it falls under the catagory of resource damage. A lot can fall under that catagory. Fines can run into the thousands of $$$ and can include jail time too. Thats right, if you want to get really stupid out there, you can be fined and jailed. Is going off the trail really worth a couple of grand and a month in jail?? (To my knowledge it hasn't come to this level yet, but it will) I'm a little confused by the forest service maps as it appears that all bypasses are now illegal? Devils Postpile (Wentworth entrance), Little Sluice, Old Sluice (both slab route and shorter bypass) What about Soup Bowl? http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/eldorado/pro...ps/index.shtml If you haven't been to this site check it out as it shows whats legal and whats not. Can anyone clarify this? Are exceptions being made in these areas? Please correct me if I'm wrong. I do know that the official trail is getting marked better all the time, (tree signs, reflective road markers from the dam across the bowl, rocks, trees, etc. being moved to define the trail and block illegal bypasses) by groups like FOTR, The Pirates and many, many others along with the Trail Patrol trying to inform and educate. Anybody who has done the trail for the first time in the last couple of years or is getting to do it for the first time, as well as the rest of us that continue to enjoy the trail owes all these hard working people a great debt of gratitude and a few . Because without them, there would be no Rubicon. Thanks,

Technically, if it ain't on the Motorized Restriction Map, it is not legal, from the USFS perspective. If you are on an established county road (remember, the county claimed the 'Rubicon tail and its variants,' and you think you can get the county to join your defense, you might get the case dismissed. I'd frankly like to see that precedent set for the obvious, well-established bypasses like Little Sluice, True Sluice, Postpile, and Soup Bowl (the SB obstacle technically resides in the 25' from the centerline of the trail, but the short spur that wraps back around to the trail is too far).
Here's an easy-to-view section of the Motorized Restriction Map: Per the map, the only legal route down to Buck from Spider is through Old Sluice (a.k.a. Middle Sluice, True Sluice, Flatfender Alley, etc.). The map does NOT show the slabs route, but IMHO that is a clear error. Nor does it show any of the alternate routes around Spider. The Motor Vehicle Restriction Map was a rush-job to get out, and I expect it has more than a few such mistakes. The Forest Service won't be fixing it this year. The high road is to follow the letter of the law and work to correct the errors, but the current restriction map has so many errors, and is so restrictive, that it make outlaws of 95% of users (including all organized/permitted events that take the County-approved Little Sluice bypass, within the public right-of-way). I recommend that we apply conservative good reason and 'wheel only those we are most sure of, realizing that there is slight risk of prosecution in doing so.

I don't have the skills to post up a portion of the map, but the ones I look at on the forest service website show a lot more than what you put up. A lot of bypasses or old routes appear in brown - denoting unauthorized / unclassified routes. The version of the map I look at that you put up has the route down the slabs and the smaller bypass on it and it also shows an area that would appear to be below the dam as an OHV area (light brown in color). This version is obviously in color. http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/eldorado/doc...rthsprings.pdf Here's the direct link. Is the part you posted from the actual hard copy that is being passed out? I find that one pretty poor also. Does one version over rule the other? Perhaps for these areas the term "unclassified" is the technicality that could get you your precedent. It would force the forest service into making different distinctions between unauthorized and unclassified. Not that I'm looking to be a test case or anything

Was there any progress in the request for a memorandum of understanding from the county and/or FS to allow the two bypasses at the Little Sluice and the route over the slabs around the Old Sluice. I realize that the slabs are mostly private property. Do we have the okay from the property owners? |

Patfo, the maps you linked to are the Route Designation *color* quarter-quads -- part of the ongoing forest service process. The routes that are being enforced based on Forest Order #03-05-07 are from the the supporting *grayscale* Motorized Restriction Map (both reference here: http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/eldorado/pro...fo/index.shtml ). That grayscale map is the actual hard copy that is being passed out, and yes, it is pretty poor.
The Route Designation process is how the forest service will classify the routes you discussed, but the 03-05-07 Forest Order and the grayscale map it references are law until Route Designation is complete. Doug, there has been no formal progress on any sort of MOU or enforcement guideline from the Forest Service. Delay could be due to the holidays or the new forest supervisor... or they might just be avoiding us. I have not asked the private property owners about this directly, I'll try to remember to do so at the next ROC. Randii |

and to finish my story: I could tell he was watching me drink the beer as we were talking. Of course, all too soon it was time to leave and drive on, so I had my wife finish the beer before we got back in my jeep. He waved us goodbye and off we went. I could tell he had a certain amount of toleration for what we were doing. So my advice to all is this: Just play smart. Don't spin your tires tearing up the green stuff, try to stay on the trail, don't get stupid drunk, and everything will be OK. |

I do think this approach (stay close to the trail and off the green stuff) will keep individuals out of trouble for the most part, but be aware that you do this at your own peril. Hell, I drive faster than 55 on deserted country highways and take my chances -- this is much the same. If you bend the overly-expansive rule that temporarily closes time-honored bypasses that we fully expect will be re-opened, you take your chances with enforcement. I'm just not comfortable personally advising other folks to assume risk, especially when enforcement is uneven, at best. Merlin is absolutely spot on in observing that if users keep driving over the not-a-trail carsonites, we'll see even more aggressive closures. Drive responsibly out there, people -- you may be held accountable for your actions... and our user group may have to answer for them, as well. Dozer Dude has a good summary: "Play smart." Randii |

It was only a matter of time until the Zach Bogosian trade rumors surfaced.
The third-year NHL defenceman of the Atlanta Thrashers, who is just 20 years old, has suddenly had his named linked to rumors out of Edmonton. Also, a number of NHL general managers have been burning up the phone lines in the recent days, if not weeks, to get a handle on whether the third overall pick in the 2008 entry draft -- taken after Steven Stamkos and Drew Doughty -- is really available and, if so, why.
The short answer to the question -- is he available? -- is as follows: Yes, in the sense that just about any team today will listen to any offer on any player, but as the old saying goes, someone is going to knock off Thrasher general manager Rick Dudley's socks to make it happen.
So Bogosian is not an untouchable. Dudley would tell you there isn't one on his team, not Evander Kane or Bryan Little or Dustin Byfuglien or Tobias Enstrom. Or Bogosian.
Teams talking to the Thrashers aren't being told, "don't even ask about Bogosian." But it's not as if they're shopping him either. They have not been soliciting offers.
And keep in mind, trading a young player of that stature is not something the general manager gets to do without ownership signing off on it.
So, in other words, it's complicated.
Now, Bogosian isn't Vinny Lecavalier, but Dudley was the man who was once prepared to trade Lecavalier out of Tampa Bay when he was the GM of the Lightning. Some would go so far as to say Dudley ultimately lost his job in Tampa because he wanted to deal Lecavalier and ownership didn't. So it's not as if Dudley isn't prepared to make a big move.
So could Bogosian be traded?
Yes, but it's probably a longshot.
The bigger question should be not would the Thrashers trade him, but why would they even consider it?
Stamkos and Doughty have emerged as NHL superstars. Many scouts felt Bogosian could do the same.
He's a dynamic and powerful physical specimen, a fast-skating, hard-hitting, mobile and physical 6-foot-3, 210-pound defenceman with a heavy shot. Scouts still marvel at his performance at the NHL Central Scouting Combine when he olbiterated the testing and made an absolute spectacle of himself in the strength and conditioning events.
But here we are, now in his third NHL season, and what gives?
In his rookie season, Bogosian was dyanmic, scoring nine goals and 19 points in only 47 games as an 18 year old. He was as advertised -- something special.
But last season, he put up 10 goals and 23 points in 81 games and seemed to get a little lost in the shuffle, which is to be expected given Atlanta's lower profile in the NHL.
Many thought this season would be Bogosian's breakout year. The Thrashers made off-season moves to make them a potential playoff team for the time in a long time. New head coach Craig Ramsay, who has a terrific reputation for developing young defenceman, was another factor in believing Bogosian would flourish.
But precisely the opposite has happened.
Bogosian has only four goals and 11 points and is minus-15 in 45 games played. He's been a healthy scratch for some games and on occasion playing forward in practice. And now his name is front and centre in rumors less than three weeks to the trade deadline.
To repeat the question, what gives?
Well, it depends who you talk you.
The Thrasher party line is that Bogosian came into this season expecting to be the go-to guy on the blueline and while he still plays more than 20 minutes most nights, Tobias Enstrom (currently injured) and Dustin Byfuglien are clearly ahead of him on the depth chart, and perhaps the youngster has not responded well to being dropped down in the lineup. That he maybe hasn't been as receptive to coaching from the new staff as he should be.
The flip side of that argument is that with the emergence of Enstrom and the arrival of Byfuglien as a defenceman, Bogosian has been severely minimized by the new coaching staff, and can't play his way out of the doghouse.
What's absolutely certain, regardless of who's right and who's wrong, is that there has been a fractious and counter-productive relationship between new Thrasher assistant coach John Torchetti and Bogosian and it may have festered too long before being addressed internally by the Thrashers.
By all accounts, things have been somewhat better of late. Since Enstrom went out of the lineup with injury, Bogosian has been counted on more, and played better than he had been playing.
But the whole dynamic between Torchetti and Bogosian has been much talked about in NHL circles. As soon as rival GMs saw Bogosian being a healthy scratch, they began investigating the circumstances and sensed an opportunity to perhaps extricate him from there. Hence, the growing crescendo of trade rumors.
Even in his draft year, many scouts believed that Bogosian's hockey sense and feel for the game was not on the same level as, say, Doughty's, which is to say super elite level, but that didn't diminish their sense that he could still be a dynamic NHL presence on the blueline with unbelievable physical tools. Almost three years later, some would suggest that some shortcomings in his game have manifested themselves, but the prevailing opinion amongst hockey people still seems to be this is a diamond in the rough who could yet be a superstar on the blueline.
"What a lot of people are forgetting," said one observer familiar with the situation, "is that this is a 20-year-old kid. He's only 20. People forget that because he's played three years in the league."
A 20-year-old who still has all the tools to be a terrific NHL defencemen, but of whom two questions are being asked: 1) Will he ever be that in Atlanta under the current coaching staff? 2) Would the Thrashers consider trading him?
And that, more or less, brings us up to date.
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

Born out of the rich history of the Jewish culture, the Yiddish language has persevered since the 10th century. But in recent years it has been facing a decline in use among local Jews.
Enter the Yiddish group at the Farmingdale Wantagh Jewish Center in Wantagh, which meets Mondays from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. to encourage and practice using Yiddish.
"We're really trying to keep the Yiddish language alive," said Florence Epstein, 75, a regular attendee.
"If you don't use it, you lose it," added Bob Kopman, 89.
The hot-button issue at Monday's meeting, which attracted about 30 people 65 and older, was about whether, and at what age, a person should retire his or her driver's license.
Rabbi Alan Lavin of the center visited the meeting to inform the group about events there, and to encourage attendees to bring family members and show community support.
"Bring your grandchildren," Lavin said. "It's important for us to have the families come."
The second half of the meeting was dedicated to practicing Yiddish phrases and proverbs.
"We have all levels of Yiddish speakers here, from zero to 100," said Esther Levy, co-chairwoman of the group. "We just want to give them a taste of Yiddish. It's such a juicy language filled with satire and history."
Members also come to socialize. A $1 per-person weekly fee is pooled to pay for things such as dances and books. And the plan to celebrate the birthdays of members who turn 90.
For Lillyan Gitnik, 89, the big event will happen on April 12.
"It's a lot of fun," Gitnik said. "I'm the first to have the big party for 90."

Scott Alan: Behind the Song
BY Advocate Contributors
December 19 2010 4:00 PM ET
That's all I was able to write at the time. I couldn't find
other words to describe how completely trapped I felt or how losing the
ability to explain it in song made me feel even lonelier.
I needed
to take a break — to just step away from the piano and from everything
around me. I took a vacation to Italy. No phone. No computer.
Traveled for two weeks. Stayed in the nicest hotels. Got fat. Drank
wine. Ate more gelato than I care to admit. And just breathed. In a
relationship it's easy to forget yourself. This was my chance to get
to know me again.
When I returned I put all my energy into
finishing the new album. As minutes turned into months we had 11
songs finished. But my coproducer and arranger of the album, Jesse
Vargas, insisted that we add one more. I hadn't sat at the piano since
I returned from Italy, too afraid to find that I may still be in the
same place I was before I left.
I sat down. Put my hands on the
keys. I took a breath. I wrote. When you're so far from home / When
you've lost signs of hope / When you're searching for salvation / But
there's none that you can find / When the words have disappeared / When the
melody's unclear / When there's nothing left inside of you, is there
anything worth holding on to? I sat for a minute ... there was still
something left to say. Cause I will still be holding on / To everything
worth holding on to.
I finished — six months after I'd started it, but it was finally finished.
decided that if this song was going to be the one to complete the
album, it had to be stripped down. On an album filled with lavish
orchestrations and arrangements, he believed that it needed nothing more
than its lyrics, its melody, the incomparable voice of Crystal Monee
Hall, and a piano.
The day I released the album I sat on my couch,
studying the cover. I took out my two previous albums, Dreaming Wide
Awake and Keys, and put all three of them on my dining room table.
Taking a close look I realized that for now these are my children. And
I couldn't be more proud of them. For the first time in over a year,
my heart felt full again.
An hour later I started planning the next birth.

Why Can't Services Run in the Background?
I have purchased quite a few apps but all of them have one annoying feature - they don't run in the background.
IM+, for example, is pretty much useless as it doesn't run when closed and does not give you any notifications. Without the ability to run in the background, it's a waste of $8 as you can simply get the same functionality from the web-based instant messaging services.
Again, it's not only IM+ but pretty much all apps (at least those I have bought).
I was wondering what prevents developers from including the background operation functionality. I actually read here and there that it's the "lack of API" (?), but I absolutely don't know what this means.
Furthermore, do you, folks, expect that the OS 2.0 will change the situation (e.g. RIM releases everything needed to the developers along with the update)?
Thanks. - 01-06-2012, 12:45 AM #3
Yep - put it in showcase mode. Why this isn't the default who knows.
- 01-06-2012, 12:48 AM Thread Author #4
Thanks but I am talking about a different "background operation" functionality. For instance, on my android phone, I simply close Facebook, Skype, IM+, and many other apps and they still get me notifications (only present in the notification bar/slider). That is, the apps are "closed" and are retrieved only when needed.
Furthermore, the notification system is integrated into the OS and you get all sorts of notifications (vibrate, LED, sound, screen flashing, etc.).
And in the Playbook, the app window should be open for the app to be alive. I.e. I have a feeling that each app is kind of "sandboxed".Last edited by kennyliu; 01-06-2012 at 12:54 AM.
If the apps are closed and retrieved only when needed - that is not multitasking - it is app switching. You are talking about notifications - which are not really the same thing. Apps can run in a minimized state and perform minimal functionality like this - but not be running completely functionally as playbook apps do. If the app needs to be open to be alive that is not multitasking. They ARE running in the background at all times in showcase mode.
The answer to your question is that apps can and do run in the background on playbook. In fact you can see them running when minimized. Open a few in showcase mode - perhaps youtube and something else with activity in the screen - the Vevo app, a download with a progress bar. Minimize them and you can watch what they are doing simultaneously - or listen to the audio. they are NOT sandboxed or suspended, and they DO run in the background.
Anything else?Last edited by blackjack93117; 01-06-2012 at 02:13 AM.

Thanks for the response. Semantics aside, CLOSING apps on the Playbook, terminates the app itself. Closing some apps in Android only sends them to the background where they still keep running.
In other words, on the Playbook, you have to keep all needed apps OPEN/MINIMIZED in order for them to "run" in the "background".
Maybe I am not explaining this too well, but, again, the same IM+ runs absolutely differently on the Playbook and on Android. On the Playbook, you have to have the window open/minimized, whereas in Android, you just "close" it. It's no longer visible (except for the little icon in the notification bar) but it's still there running in the background.
OK, that's just UI implementation. The biggest annoyance, however, is that there is no integration of notifications in QNX. All notifications are within the app and only if the latter is open/minimized.
Those who have used Android for some time will probably understand what I mean. Same goes for desktop OSs. For instance, you can CLOSE windows for certain apps but the apps continue running and can be retrieved from the notification area.
I just remember Peter (the developer of Battery Guru) said something about the lack of APIs when he explained why Battery Guru should be open to log the readings, so I thought developers could explain this in a greater detail.Last edited by kennyliu; 01-06-2012 at 02:36 AM.
I have an Android phone, and I understand what you are saying. For me this is a flaw/negative of Android. When I close an app, I closed it because I wanted it closed. It makes me angry when I have to bring up the task manager to close apps that I recently closed, and it bothers me big time that Android doesn't have an "active app" tray like the windows on the Playbook.

Yes, for some apps it's a con, but most of the time there are settings to disable such behavior.
On the other hand, running certain apps in the background is what those apps were actually meant to do. For example, I really want instant messaging apps to constantly run in the background to notify me of messages so that I read them once they arrive. Of course, I can sign out (terminate the app) or become "invisible" any time, if I don't want to be bothered. But still, I believe certain apps have to have that ability to run in the background (and it should be up to you whether you want them in the background or not). Unfortunately, on the Playbook you don't get to choose. So I am hoping someone can answer why and whether this will change any time soon.Last edited by kennyliu; 01-06-2012 at 02:47 AM.
I think what you"re talking about is more related to a "service" running app mode (as in windows) than a multitasking problem. Maybe next generation of apps and QNX (OS10/PB2.0 OS) will allow such implementations (as they are, for instance on our BB Phones for Facebook app). At this point I couldn't say that the PB development platform(s) allow such notifications/ services, but maybe a dev could ?

Gosh..Just like facebook on your BB smartphone. You get notifications even if you close the app. You have to keep it open on the playbook and it looks a bit weird..since i usually close everything before putting it in stand-by
The PB does support notification API. Look at AppWorld when there is an app that requires an update, AppWorld runs in the background and sends a notification icon (exclamation mark) in the right corner.
Apps that doesn't completely close in the background is not a flaw but a BAD idea. Apps like Messenger and Appworld are ok to run in the background waiting for the server to talk back. However most apps on Android and iOS that isn't closed properly are still stored in RAM which can build up and causes the OS to congest. The average consumers don't know how to terminate these apps properly and don't care so they get pissed off because their device keeps freezing on them. I love how the PB OS was design to terminate these apps properly and easily.Thanked by:Superfly_FR (01-06-2012)

Yes, I agree on this. Notifications work with the native apps (AppWorld, alarm clock, hopefully email). But I haven't seen any third-party app using notifications.
Not entirely true. Android handles the congestion by terminating inactive apps itself.
I love this design too, but...
certain apps as those you mentioned (mostly PIM - email, calendars, instant messaging, social networking, etc.) should be able to run in the background. Otherwise, they have no benefit over web-based apps or websites.Last edited by kennyliu; 01-06-2012 at 04:50 AM.
Short answer (I'm rushing out the door): the term "API" refers to Application Programming Interface (or, no doubt, variations thereof) and basically means that the operating system has to provide an interface to allow apps to create "services" (the generic term for "things that run in the background") or you can't do it.
Right now, although the OS itself obviously supports services (it's got dozens running for its own purposes), it's not yet possible for apps to create them.
We need RIM to define an API that allows that... simple as that.
Notifications are fine, but an app can't trigger them when it's not running. If an app can "spawn" a service, that service can continue to run, using very little memory (think tens of kilobytes of RAM, possibly, instead of tens of megabytes) and almost no CPU, but doing whatever it is that it needs to do in the background (i.e. without a UI showing). It could signal the user via notifications when it's ready for interaction, such as with (say) a Twitter app which does a periodic search of recent tweets and tells you when "something interesting" has occurred. You'd tap on the notification and that would launch the UI for the app again, which would then interact with the service to find out what had been going on while it was not running.
There are a half dozen things that need to be in place before all this can work, and it hasn't been at the top of RIM's list of priorities but they are working on it.
Some people may not be too familiar with this idea of services, but no modern operating system would look like much if they weren't littered with them...Battery Guru for BB10 tracks voltage, power, battery health. (Also on the PlayBook.) White Noise helps you sleep or concentrate.

@peter9477, do you think we'll get this with OS2? Or do you think that will be something later?
How about just a notifications API (push or local) at least? Or did I miss that?

It's a baby OS these things will come in time. I haven't used IM+ but have used the web interface and ran imo.im android app when I was on the beta. I never tried them on wifi but imo.im would not work at all over bridge and the web based ones all seem to time out when they are not the focus. I'm not sure how they act on wifi as I use my playbook when away from wifi.

Not sure how well the tablet android OS`s are handling this (although I`m not hearing much improvement) but I know on my phone running gingerbread, android is allowing a lot of RAM-sucking to happen in the background before it starts closing inactive apps down, which leads to slightly laggier performance as well as increased battery drain. Good concept in theory but I`m not a fan of it in practice due to those reasons. I much prefer the QNX style of giving me total control of my multi-tasking

Another example of an app that should run is BlackBerry news. On the smartphone version, it updates the news constantly depending on the frequency you ask for. On the PlayBook, it doesn't update til the app is launched. Me personally, I'm on the subway when I need it, and I don't have reception at that point. It would be nice for the app to be able to update silently in the background as it does on smartphones. I'm forced to do a workaround (open the app when I wake up in the morning, which I tend to forget 4/5 days of the week!)

01-06-2012, 09:21 AM #19You don't need to go into task manager to close apps. That's how Android is designed to run..the system itself will manage it's own memory and close things as its needed. And if this really does bother you..you should look into CyanogenMod roms. They have a setting to long press the back button to "kill" the application completely.

No, if IM is still running in the background, it won't be closed. That's what's great about apps/services/processes running in the background. Besides, background services eat up a negligible amount of RAM.
Again, it's closed and inactive apps that get closed. At least, this is how I understand it.Last edited by kennyliu; 01-06-2012 at 10:14 AM.
