A Punta Gorda group is asking the city for help getting disabled sailors on the water.
The Charlotte Harbor Community Sailing Center works primarily with youth sailors and now hopes to get the appropriate facilities in place to make it easier for disabled boaters to sail.
To do that, organizers say they'll need things like storage, lifts and boat cranes.
Even as the city adds more handicapped accessible docks and boat ramps to the waterfront, Jeff Drechsler with the Community Sailing Center says the city council needs to take extra steps.
"We've asked them to implement some of the plans we have to make the waterfront fully accessible to disabled sailors for them to be able to get out there and feel more self-sufficient," he says.
Drechsler told council members about his project Wednesday and says he'll bring more detailed plans including costs of the proposed upgrades before the city council next month.

Rotating text
Posted by hurcane in Programming on September 29, 2003
I've enjoyed reading Raymon Chen's series of articles about different historical aspects of Microsoft Windows. Today, he writes about why you can't rotate text.
I've been following a loosely coupled weblog discussion about using curves when grading, doing performance reviews, etc.
It's being discussed by Paul Vick here. Chris Anderson talks about it here and here. It all started from John Porcaro's entry here.
Here's my thoughts on this.
I think people are discussing different issues without realizing it. One issue is the idea of ranking people and using a curve to do the ranking. The other issue is the automatic application of the ranking to consequences, such as failing a class or being fired.
Clearly, John Porcaro is arguing against the automatic application of the ranking. I agree that automatically firing people simply because they rank the lowest is a bad policy. In my opinion, the key problem with this is that you have applied the curve to a unrepresentative sample.
Let me use a hypothetical example of what I mean by an unrepresentative sample. A sales manager has a sales force of 100 people. A performance curve is applied using various parameters. Using a curve, we assign the label "Good " to the top 10%, we assign the label "Acceptable" to the middle 80% percent, and we assign the label "Poor" to the bottom 10%.
To automatically fire the bottom 10% and give bonuses to the top 10% is foolish, in my opinion. The sample only ranks the salespeople within the company. If you were to rank both your salespeople and all potential replacements, then I think you have a sample that is fully representative. If some your current salespeople fall in the bottom 10%, you fire them. Replacement salespeople who fall in the top 90% are hired. If all the replacement candidates fall in the bottom 10%, you don't fire anybody.
Practically, it is very difficult to rank the replacement candiates along with the existing salespeople. It's hard to compare apples to apples in this scenario. The ranking process is subjective. This subjectivity is why automatic application of rankings is bad.
I also agree with the argument that grade inflation is a problem. It is a problem that exists in our schools and even exists in some companies. I could argue that the problem of ranking inflation in a company solves itself when the company goes out of business, but I'll leave that argument for another time.
Grade inflation is a problem, but automatic application of a curve is not the solution. The main problem with an automatic curve is that it creates a variable standard for passing. Take two classes learning the same material and give them the same tests. One class is an honors class. The bottom student in that class demonstrated a knowledge of 85% of the material. That student fails. The other class is regular students, the top student in that class demonstrated a knowledge of 85% of the material. That student passes, as well a bunch of students who understood less than 85% of the material. The "bar" in each class was set at a different level.
So what do we do? We set a standard of measuring achievement, and we stick to it. If it means that a class has 90% of the students getting an A, that is fine. If it means that 90% of students in a class fail, that is fine, too. Where we fail is in adjusting the bar down when it is not warranted. Another place we fail is not raising the bar when it is warranted.
Grade inflation is not a failure of those being ranked/measured. It is a failure of those doing the ranking. Applying curves is a popular solution because it is easy to do and it removes responsibility from those who have to do the ranking. You don't like that you were fired? It's the policy of the curve.
I could probably write a couple chapters in a book on this topic. I'll stop here…
VSS and SQL Server: Reviews
Posted by hurcane in Programming on September 24, 2003
I've been busy the past two weeks really digging into demos of products that will help us integrate our SQL development with SourceSafe. I've also been looking at bug tracking products, since our current bug tracking is done through Exchange Server using a set of public folders, attached Word documents within the public folders, and categories to control our priorities. I will write more on the bug tracking in a future post.
When I started the review process, I was concerned mainly with these things:
- Recording changes in SourceSafe
- Automated lookup of column names
- Updating other databases with the changes
I spent a lot of time reviewing our current process for database udpates. I thought about how the database update process could be automated. Table changes make the update process really difficult. In the end, I put the idea of automating the database updates on the back burner. However, the issue still affected my decisions in the review process.
Recording changes in SourceSafe is pretty straightforward. Lots of companies have a manual process for editing stored procedures. The procedure is generally like this:
- Check out the stored procedure to a file
- Edit the checked out file (Query Analyzer is a popular tool for this)
- Apply the changes to the database
- Save the changes to the file
- Check in the file
I like the idea of an integrated tool. Visual Basic has a simple integration to SourceSafe that makes things very easy. Why can't we have the same thing with SQL development? I looked at two products in depth, SQL Source Control 2003 and mssqlXpress. These two products were the only ones I could find in a price range that is reasonable for small development teams. Both products are relatively immature, as they have been available for less than a year.
SQL Source Control Review
SQL Source Control is developed in Poland. It has two features that I would really like – custom documentation of objects and automated deployment (updates).
I really like the idea of documenting tables and columns. We have that kind of documentation, but it is not integrated into the development environment. SQL Server has metadata, but it is limited to 255 characters. A lot of our documentation, which is stored in Word documents, is usage documentation that describes the relationship of a column with other columns in the same table and in other tables. This often takes more than 255 characters.
SQL Source Control allows documentation of everything and it is easily accessed within the development environment. This feature had me leaning to SQL Source Control before I dove into the depths of the product. However, other problems in the product soon overrode the benefit of this feature.
The biggest problem for me is that Intellisense only works when you qualify every column in your query with the full table name. Aliases do not bring up Intellisense. I never use full table names in my queries. In fact, we've developed a standard set of aliases that we use with our tables. If we used this product, we wouldn't have Intellisense, which is a major feature.
The perceived problem is performance. The demo only allows you to work on the first five objects. Even with only having 5 views, 5 stored procedures, 5 tables, etc., the application was slow to go through a "synchronization" process. I shudder to imagine how long the synchronization process will take with our 1300 stored procedures, 400 tables, and 1700 views. This may not really be a problem, but I wouldn't be able to find out without spending money.
The automated deployment idea sounded great, but I didn't trying it in depth because of the Intellisense issue.
The documentation for SQL Source Control is pretty good.
mssqlXpress Review
mssqlXpress is developed in Australia. It doesn't have the documentation feature. It doesn't have the the automated deployment feature, although their product comparison page promises it "Soon!"
mssqlXpress's Intellisense, which they call "Code Complete", works on table aliases. The layout of the user interface is a little funky at first, but I found that I quickly got used to it.
The F5 key serves two purposes, which I think is a no-no in UI design. If the focus is in the database object tree, it refreshes the status of the tree. If the focus is in the code window, it executes the SQL code (just like query analyzer). I got bit by this because I wanted to refresh the object tree, but I hit F5 with the focus in the code window. A change was made that I wasn't ready to commit to the database. I was easily able to roll it back, but I wouldn't have had this problem if the F5 key only served one purpose.
mssqlXpress keeps track of table changes by keeping both the create script of the table and a change script in SourceSafe. The change script can be checked out and edited. Each change is stored as a separate file name. This design makes a lot of sense to me. I can envision automating table updates and data conversions by figuring out which version of the table you currently have, then sequentially executing each change script until you get to the desired version.
mssqlXpress also maintains a public forum for their products. I found this forum invaluable in learning the product. Unfortunately, I was driven to the forum because the HTML documentation for the product is pretty poor. A number of features and options in the product weren't documented at all.
I can sympathize with the documentation problems. At work, we have a great documentation team, but our product is changing so rapidly that the documentation team can't keep up with the changes. I'm giving the company the benefit of the doubt and presuming they are having the same problems.
In my opinion, this documentation problem is a symptom of a positive aspect about the product. The programmers are actively working on the product and rapidly creating new functionality (as well as new bugs!). In the two weeks that I was working on the product, I thought that an "auto indent" feature would be very helpful. I also ran across a problem that was due to our development SQL server using a binary sort order. I reported this problem to the developers.
This morning, I received a beta announcement. This beta fixes the problem with a binary sort order. It also adds an auto indent feature. I haven't tried this new version yet, but the rapid response is a sign of a product and company with which I'd want to develop a relationship.
Given all the factors I've described here, I recommended to our management team that we invest in mssqlXpress. It will achieve our primary objectives, and seems to be on a fast track to being a great product. All comments are welcome.
RIAA Redux
Other people are also expressing their opinions about music file sharing and the RIAA. This entry makes sense to me.
RIAA thoughts
I ran across this link from Robert Scoble. I printed out a copy of this editorial cartoon and it is making the rounds at work.
I must admit that I've ignored the whole music-sharing issue. I don't share my music online. I download MP3s, but I only download files that are publicly available on web sites. My interest is in wind band music, so I have gathered a collection from the military groups, universities, colleges, and some high schools. Some publishers even make MP3s of their music available. I've never thought that I had to worry about this issue. I think I'm going to start worrying.
Historically, changes in the interpretation of law are made in incremental changes. For years, laws existed that made abortion mostly illegal. In January of this year, we recognized the 30th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, which removed most of the restrictions that had existed. I think it's important to realize, especially for those who weren't adults in 1973, that this decision didn't just come out of the blue.
Opponents of the abortion restrictions tried to get the restrictions repealed starting in the 1960s. At first, the courts ruled against removing the restrictions. But certain decisions, not directly related to the abortion restrictions, set precedents that were eventually used in the Roe v. Wade decision. The Supreme Court ruling in Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) established privacy to family matters. After seven more years, Eisenstadt v. Baird (1972) established personal privacy. These cases were used as the basis for the Roe v. Wade (1973) decision. It took 8 years, but the change occurred.
We are seeing the same incremental changes happening with respect to copyright laws and music. Combined with the changes due to the Patriot Act, instead of establishing our privacy, these changes are eroding our privacy. We could reach a point where we can't legally enjoy music except by listening on our headphones, and then only if the volume is set to its lowest level.
I worry that the recording industry is going to ruin the music industry, which encompasses a lot more than CDs. When musical groups visit nursing homes on a Sunday afternoon, will we have to charge admission in order to pay royalties to the copyright holders? If I play "One Hand, One Heart" at a wedding, does somebody have to mail a check to the RIAA? That's the direction things seem to be heading.
VSS And SQL Server: Part 2
Posted by hurcane in Programming on September 16, 2003
Nik Shenoy makes the following comment regarding my previous post about Visual SourceSafe And SQL Server:
My thought here is that there is a significant difference between a "release" and a specific file version. A release has a little more management involved and is a little more concerned with file and functional dependencies.
I agree 100% with this statement. File versions of stored procedures, views, and functions are pretty much interchangeable. However, data has historical dependencies. I can't update data in a child table if the parent table hasn't been created yet. A table transformation depends on all previous transformations of the same table to have been completed.
Nik's comment describes how he is thinking about implementing the table updates. Here is an idea that I have borrowed from a UNIX-based product I used to support. I haven't thought about this in depth, so I don't have details worked out.
Create a table in the database that keeps track of data conversion history. The table contains a primary key column (a unique name for the conversion).
Have a master data conversion script that will contain all historical data conversions. Each conversion will have a unique name. The script will check if the conversion exists in the conversion history table. If it exists, the script does not execute that conversion. If it does not exist, the conversion is executed and a record is added to the conversion history table.
An alternative idea I have been toying with is to use the build version that we store in the database and forget the data conversion history table. A master data conversion script is still used. The master script retrieves the old build version. Each data conversion knows which build version it was created against, so it can make sure the old build version of the databsae was at or below the build version for the conversion.
Because we use exclusive checkouts, a master script may not be workable if we have two developers wanting to write conversions at the same time. Whatever mechanism we use to perform updates, we'll need to be able to track which conversions need to be done and make sure they are done in the proper order.
We also have a problem with maintaining and updating "system" data. For example, we have a codes table that is used to populate drop-down combo boxes in our UI. We'll need a mechanism to update these system data tables. Some tables contain a mix of developer-maintained and user-maintained data. For example, we have a table that stores system numbers (next sales order, next purchase order, next invoice, etc.). The NextNumber column needs to be preserved during an update, while the rest of the data needs to be refreshed during an update.
These are not unique problems. Every database development team faces these issues. There don't seem to be well-documented solutions to these problems, however.
Can You Raed Tihs?
Posted by hurcane in Programming on September 15, 2003
Roy Osherove posts about an interesting research finding on how we read. Lots of people have linked to his blog entry.
What I would like is to have the syntax checkers be able to comprehend these "misspellings" as easily as our brain does. That will eliminate 90% of my syntax errors, which are usually from typing "tlb" when I should have typed "tbl".
I wonder if this fact, when more widely understood and accepted, will cut down on the editing time of books? After all, if we can comprehend the material even if it is misspelled, why spend the money to change it?
Visual SourceSafe and SQL Server
Posted by hurcane in Programming on September 10, 2003
At work, I've been investigating what will be involved to keep track of the database changes made by our programming team. So far, we've been able to work with a common shared database and mostly avoid stepping on each other's toes. However, there are many shortcomings with not having the database managed with a source versioning system. The shortcomings are starting to cause pain to our managers, so we've been asked to do something about it.
From day one, we've kept our Visual Basic code in Visual SourceSafe. For a long time, I've wanted to work out a plan for doing this, but haven't had the authorization to spend the necessary time until now. That hasn't kept me from gathering bits and pieces of information about this issue. However, our needs are more than just storing the database objects in a SourceSafe database.
Some aspects of the process are very simple. We can easily version the views, stored procedures, user functions, and other basic objects. When you want to deploy these objects, you replace the existing copy with the newer version.
But what about table changes and system data? This is not a big deal when generating new databases, but we we need to deploy data conversions to other developers, QA databases, and to customer databases. Data conversions are not a simple "replace" functionality. They have dependencies. If a table has been changed twice since the version you have, the data conversions will likely need to be run in a particular order. In addition, you don't want to accidentally run a data conversion a second time, as it may corrupt the data if you haven't built safeguards into the process.
In my mind, deployment needs to occur from what's in SourceSafe. It would be nice to have a process that helps support the deployment process as well as the simple process of keeping database objects in SourceSafe.
Finally, we're doing our editing in Query Analyzer. I'd like to have a process that involves an editor that's geared toward SQL, but has some of the features that are considered standard in a programmer's editor (auto-indent, split windows, bookmarks, etc.).
Unfortunately, I've found that lots of small shops have this issue, but there aren't many commercial solutions that fill our need. There are large enterprise solutions that might help, but a small development shop can't afford a tool that would cost 5000 per developer. We could roll our own, but our team of seven developers is busy enough trying to churn out the new features and squash the bugs (some of which are caused by our informal process). I think we're going to have to settle for a mix of products that help with some parts of the process and home-grown utilities to help with the other parts of the process.
Some other people on the web are also grappling with some of these issues. Here are some of the links I have found:
- Korby Parnell has devoted a category to this topic.
- Here's a blog entry that talks about VSS and VS.NET, but it seems to only deal with stored procedures.
- Mike Roselius offers a tip on generating scripts from the database, but this just covers one of the easier pieces of the puzzle.
Personality types
Chris Anderson writes about taking a personality test.
I took the same test and came out with the same personality type (out of 16 types) as Chris did. I wonder if this might be a common type among programmers who have blogs?
SQL bug fix
Posted by hurcane in Programming on September 3, 2003
I got a chuckle out of this fix that is available for SQL Server 2000. If you have a query with 32000 or more OR clauses in it, don't you have more problems than a bug in SQL Server 2000?

great straight theme! Please tell me is it possible to post Soundcloud tracks to posts, so that they appear and can be played on the main blog page?
Thank you and good luck with the sales! Tomi
I've just tested it and it works favelessly, just copy and past the <iframe..> url that sound cloud generates for you paste it into blog post and you are set up
I just bought this theme and I'm running a local server to test it. Everything is going fine, but I'm having troubles with video posts.
I check the option "Video" and try to embed a Vimeo video but it's not appearing above the title of the post.
Can you help me, please?
Screenshot: http://cl.ly/1k1n0r29132e1n0G0l0G
Hi just paste there a normal link to the website to your video (www.vimeo.com/15283959)
There are several bugs with this theme. I won't point out every problem I've encountered, but I will say most of these may affect the functionality of the theme.
Here's one I'll give you.. The header section doesn't render correctly after an image slides within the slideshow.
I have to say the flexslider is realy making me mad, it somehow doesn't want to work on Gingerbread and lower version of android, which is really weird because I haven't had any problems with it so far. I will try to test it in emulator with older version of the slider.
I tried to paste the video URL (http://vimeo.com/22439234) and the video now appears above the title, but it appears below the title, too.
I don't want it duplicated.
Hi you can use the [hidestuff]...[/hidedtuff] shortcode for that, i might have forgotten to desceibe it in the documentation so sorry about that
Another one. When I embed a video in the middle of the post, not above the title, the right margin do not exist.
How do I fix it?
Screenshot: http://cl.ly/3c1U351s080a0f28232L
Iframe { margin 0 auto; text-align: center; }
The following code didn't fixed the video problem. Could it be something else?
Iframe { margin 0 auto; text-align: center; }
Hi, sorry about that, I was just on the way to school so it was written on the walk from my head, but haven't had a time to test it out
iframe { margin: 0 auto; text-align: center; max-width: 100%; height: auto; }
This code will work, once again sorry about that.
No worries, xRicrdx. I'll try this code tonight and let's see if works.
By the way, do you know if there is any way to remove the left/right padding just for videos and images? The text would be normal, but the videos/images go "full-width", just like when it appears before the title.
I tried a few changes in CSS , but no success untill now.
Well I have to say that's good idea however, it would need html editing because they are wrapped into div with padding, but that shouldn't be to much trouble, just few editing in couple of hours. I could try to do that tommorow for you and send you edited files, if you want.
That would be nice. Let's try it?
I'll let you know tommorow or day after that, it depends on how much time I'll have tommorow
I just bought this theme, I really love it.
But I can´t get the portfolio page to work, and I can´t find how to in the documentation. Can you tell me how I can get it to work?
Thank you,
This is maybe because your theme is using different slug for portfolio, I am already preparing update where this can be changed through theme options.Look into your desktop theme and in functions.php (or files like this) look for this function:
register_post_type('portfolio', $args);
copy the first arg, in this case ,,portfolio", open up page-portfolio.php and look for these lines.
$loop = new WP_Query(array( 'post_type' => 'portfolio', //replace this with the one that you've copied 'paged' => $paged, 'posts_per_page' => $per_page ));
Replace that line and it should work , if not or you are not certain what to do, feel free to write me an e-mail and I will do it for you
Lovely theme, but few questions before I think about making a purchase…
Hi, Lovely Theme, but have questions before I think about the purchase!
1. When I go to your preview, it only shows blog, but is there any way to add a right sidebar? Or even two sidebars between the posts?
2. I do not like "Read More" buttons on the blog, I like 3-4 full posts per page. Is it possible to do that as a full-post blog rather than adding "Read More—->"? I want all content/photos on that blog.
1. I am not really exactly sure what you mean by this.
2. I am currently updating theme options and I will include this feature in next update.
I'm ready to buy this theme but I'd like to know if there is an easy way to have by default entire posts on the homepage ?
Thank you for your interest and yes, there is One checkbox in theme options that you need to check (Blog page
> Ignore <- MORE TAG !—>) and this will show whole content of the post at the home page and hide read more button

Do you have an solution?
Hi,Could you please try to change this line in shortcodes.php
add_shortcode('vimeo', 'vimeo_shortcode');to
add_shortcode('stacker_vimeo', 'vimeo_shortcode');Or in this case, you can completely delete it, because jetpack has it's own shortcode for vimeo which has same name as this theme is using, so you don't need it if you are using jetpack plugin
That doesn't work, but yeah. I have deleted Jetpack. Problem solved.
That will work too but in the future if you want to use it again, deleting whole function should work (the one with the name vimeo_shortcode)
Wow, great job on this theme. Would love to buy it for my portfolio… but I don't like the "full-screen display" is it possible to when clicking on an image/video use something similar to prettyPhoto?
If you are using only one image for portfolio project, than you would have to replace just one line however i asume that this is not enough for you, so I will make an option for that in theme options, but i am not sure if prettyPhoto supports video in lightbox so i am not suer if this will work for video.
Well, in some projects I need video and images… I really like this style, of blog and portfolio. I need something that can be a blog, portfolio and to have a section that can be used to share freebies (another portfolio page would work).
But that full-screen viewing in my opinion is to hard to navigate, and to close… If you introduce another kind of image/video viewing drop me a line =) Thanks again
I ment that I will do it no matter what but it might take a little bit longer to do when photoswipe doesn't support video
For some reason the logo, no matter what size I upload… is shrunk to a very tiny size (Using the uploader in the theme). Any idea why?
To fix this change your CSS to this, or add this into theme options (Code Integration -> Custom CSS )
#MainLogo img{ width: auto; display: inline-block; }
Let me know if that worked
I have it already fixed in new version but it's not yet uploaded, so sorry about that.
Hi, thanks for the quick feedback.
The CSS file is empty, just credits in it. I want to be able to change things (not just add things) in the css, how do I do this?
yes, you will have to use css located in /css/main.css – there's all css that's used in this theme
Okay… I want to be able to do this from Wordpress though, I've always been doing that with other themes? The style.css is the only one in the list under "Editor" though.
PS. Do you have MSN messenger to do this more effeciently?
Just ICQ :-/
However I've just edited the theme so it uses the style.css now and you can edit everything from wordpress could you please send me an e-mail? you will have to rewrite style.css and header.php
Hey ! Great theme but I have some question. When I click in a category from an article, in this example "Film is not dead" it should lead me to all articles from this category right ? The thing is that : 1/ All articles from this category are not displayed 2/ Some portfolio are appearing alsohttp://www.monsieurgaudy.com/film-is-not-dead/
Second thing is about portfolio image setup, is there an optimal resolution that I to set to my images before upload them ? I mainly upload photos.
1) I'll have a look at that tommorow, I've tried to find something which could cause this problem, but with no luck so far.
2) Could you please send me an e-mail ? I will send you updated version where you can disable Archives for portfolio in theme options (portfolio page).
3) Basically it really depends on you, if you will link them in full resolution, they will look crisp and clear on devices like iPhone 4, new iPad, HTC One X… the ones with high resolution displays. However the page shrinks to width 320px on ios and 360px on android and I think 768px on ipad and other tablets. So if you want to save bandwith, I would recommend something with 600px width, that's in my opinion the balance between quality and size of the file.
Nice! Does this support self-hosted html5 videos _ I need to build a video gallery…
There is't any build in html5 video player, however It shouldn't be hard to implement it, I will consider that in next update (I would suggest to use vimeo or youtube if you don't relay on using self-hosted videos ;))
Hi xRicrdx,
Maybe you can look into a bug I found. When I schedule a post it's already showing in the 'Recent Posts' list.
Thank you in advance,
I'll have a look at that as soon as i get home, thanks for the report and sorry about that
Fixed, uploading it right now

OPENING DAY at TRURO VINEYARDS
TRURO VINEYARDS opened for the season and as of May 1 will be open seven days a week. This year the winery will be offering three new wines. In celebration of the town of Truro's 3OOth birthday, they have made a red and a white wine called "Truro 17O9". The white is a Pinot Grigio, which is crisp, light, fruity and versatile. The Merlot is soft and round with notes of red plum and cherry. The label for the 17O9 series is a painting of the Highland Lighthouse by Truro painter Robert Cardinal. Both of these wines will be available in early June. Additionally, the winery is releasing its first ever Estate Chardonnay that is rich and buttery with hints of vanilla and oak. A limited number of cases will be available to the public in late April.
In lieu of their former tasting tent, the winery has built a more permanent outdoor tasting pavilion surrounded by a rock wall built by a local mason. Truro Vineyards also has some new restaurants and wine shops featuring their wines. Blue Ginger in Wellesley and Davio's Restaurant in Boston are now carrying Truro wines and they have expanded their sales off-Cape, with the addition of the Blanchards chain of liquor stores in West Roxbury, Jamaica Plain and Revere.

After having lived in (and eaten through) Toronto for more than a full year now, I have come to appreciate that there are certain words that, when mentioned, will get the general "ahhh, yes" approval from most Toronto locals. "Terroni" is one of them ("O&B", "Pizzeria Libretto" and "Guu" also rank high on the list, as does the phrase "Sushi on Bloor or New Gen?").
Terroni is a mid-to-high class Italian restaurant that gives one the impression of being in a really cool place. You can't place it exactly, but I would paint it to you akin to somewhere which combines the authenticity of Old World Italy with the modern sophistication of New York City. The food, while delicious, is greatly overshadowed by this general "cool vibe" that dominates your meal.
I came here this past Saturday with my friends Rachael and Joanne for lunch and here is a rough idea of what we ate:
|Bread with olive oil
|The Ricchia Salad (9.95)
|Carpaccio di Manzo (13.95)
|Farinata con le Barbabietole (13.95)
|The "C't Mang" white pizza with pears, gorgonzola, speck, walnuts and honey (16.95)
|Practically a Toronto landmark
- Amazing vibe.
- Delicious food (seriously, really good pizza).
- Lots of choice and an ever-changing specials menu.
- The washroom is actually located in a dungeon (this is listed as a positive for sheer novelty value. The faucets are also old school lion head fountains).
- Mediocre service (but hostesses and hosts were nice enough).
- You kind of need to come with basic Italian food vocabulary (What I mean is, if there is a word that is in Italian that is contestable as to whether or not it need be explained, they will err on the side of not explaining it).
- Some items are overpriced, although generally acceptable.
- It is their "policy" that they will not split the bill.
Great place to come for practically any occasion: to dress up or dress down, to eat a little or eat a lot. I do think, however, that this place needs to take care not to spiral into an overly pretentious environment, as many other diners have also noted on Urbanspoon and other sites. A restaurant is only as good as the attitude and service of their staff. After eating here and at La Bettola di Terroni, I just have a few more to go before I finish the Terroni set!
Rating: 4/5

I want to get something out of the way first. I don't care who owns the Mariners. We all know how those arguments go, and that isn't what I want to talk about.
Now that being said, I think the Mariners should seriously consider bidding on Yu Darvish.
For anyone who hasn't been paying attention, the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters posted Darvish last week and will be accepting bids from MLB teams for the rights to negotiate with him until Wednesday. Darvish has been the best pitcher in Japan over the last couple of years and last season he posted an ERA of 1.44 over 232 innings. He throws a 4-seam fastball in the mid 90s in addition to 5 or 6 other pitches depending on who you ask (presumably he will cut down his repertoire once he comes to the U.S.). He also has great control, walking only 36 batters last season while striking out 276. Most importantly in my opinion, Darvish is younger than most Japanese players who go through the posting process and will be entering his age 25 season this year (his birthday is in August).So I guess what I'm getting at is that Darvish is pretty good (at least in Japan), but why do I think the M's should go after him? The obvious objection here is that starting pitching is not a weakness of the M's right now and a lot of people would rather see them pursue a bat like Prince Fielder if they are going to commit to a big time free agent. I don't disagree that the M's biggest weakness is their offense and that fixing that should be the ultimate goal but I think Darvish may provide the best possible opportunity to fix the offense and may be a uniquely good fit for the M's on top of it.
First, the Mariners are currently sitting on some excellent, young, starting pitching. With Felix and Pineda already in the Majors and guys like Danny Hultzen, James Paxton, and Taijuan Walker in the minors starting pitching is already the clear strength of the Mariners organization. By adding Darvish to that group the M's could put themselves in a very good position to pursue the bats they need by dealing some of that young pitching while still retaining enough to field one of the best rotations in the league. I personally become a lot less hostile to the idea of trading Pineda or Walker if the M's still have Darvish behind Felix.
The second reason I think Darvish could make sense here, as I've already eluded to, is his age. At 25, Darvish is only a few months younger than Felix. In addition to those two, much of the young core the M's have assembled over the last couple years are also entering their mid 20s. Smoak just turned 25, Carp is 25, Seager is 24, Ackley is about to turn 24, and Pineda is about to turn 23. If the Mariners can keep that core of players together (which would probably include giving Felix an enormous contract), add Darvish, and add another bat or two by dealing some of their young pitching prospects (possibly even Pineda) I think they have the potential to be a very good team in the near future as all of those players hit their primes at about the same time.
My biggest objection to signing Prince Fielder is that, even at 27, he may be past his prime by the time the rest of the Mariners' young talent reaches theirs, and the hitters who will be reaching free agency in the next couple years (when I think the M's will be at a better point in their rebuild to go after a big bat) are less than inspiring (although you never know for sure). Because of that, I think the best way for the M's to improve their offense is through trades. By going after Darvish, the M's could add an impact free agent, and set themselves up to improve the offense through the trade market.
Darvish is going to be expensive, possibly commanding a Dice-K like posting fee, plus a 5-6 year contract big enough to convince him to pass up the ~$10 million he would get in Japan next season (last month on FanGraphs, Dave Cameron estimated the total cost of posting fee+contract at around $120 million). Despite the high cost, I still like the M's going after Darvish because I think he is a free agent with the potential to have a major impact who also is a better fit for where the M's are in their rebuild than a guy like Fielder.
There hasn't been much linking the M's to Darvish, and most people seem to think he will wind up in Texas or Boston. Still, if Jack Z and his scouts think Darvish projects as a number 2 or 3 starter in MLB I hope they consider making a serious bid for him.

MONTPELIER — The Vermont Supreme Court has been asked to rule on the constitutionality of a 2009 law allowing the state to take DNA samples from people charged with but not yet convicted of crimes.
Lower court rulings effectively have blocked the state from carrying out the law, says a lawyer who has been following the issue. The law was enacted after the 2008 rape and murder of a 12-year-old girl in Randolph.

THOMASVILLE, GA (WALB) – Many people already think Thomas County is a beautiful place.
But the national Keep America Beautiful organization is making it official.
A pre-certification team worked for a year to make Thomas County a Keep America Beautiful affiliate. Now that they have the title, Thomas County is eligible for grants to help fund special projects. Some of the projects the Keep Thomas County Beautiful committee hopes to address are trash reduction, litter control, water management, and graffiti.
"We've gotten a grant from the county to get us started," says the committee chairman Len Powell. "They've given us $30,000 and so we hope to eventually have a paid Executive Director. Right now it's a volunteer. So it's a lot, we can do a lot, we can help pull things together to make Thomasville an even better place to live."
A certification ceremony to make Thomas County an official Keep America Beautiful community is set for 5 PM on Monday.

What Is Psychotic Depression?Some people with severe depression will also experience psychosis in addition to the usual symptoms of depression, such as depressed mood, appetite changes and loss of interest in activities previously enjoyed. Psychosis is a condition in which a person begins to see and hear things that aren't really there (hallucinations) or experience false ideas about reality (delusions). There may also be disorganized or disordered thinking. When psychosis occurs along with depression, this is called psychotic depression.
Who Will Develop Psychotic Depression?It is estimated that about 3% to 11% of all people will experience severe depression during their lifetime. Of those who experience severe clinical depression, about 10% to 15% will develop psychotic depression. It is, however, impossible to predict the exact people who might be prone to psychotic depression because not enough is known about the condition's causes.
Some of the factors that may make you more prone to depression in general include:
- Having a parent or sibling with depression. A proneness toward depression, especially severe depression, tends to run in families. If you have a parent or sibling who has had depression, you are more likely to develop it yourself.
- Being a woman. Women are twice as likely as men to develop depression; about two-thirds of those who develop severe depression are women.
- Having a difficult childhood. People who experienced adversity as children are more predisposed to depression.
What Is Believed to Cause Psychotic Depression?One theory is that a particular combination of genes must be inherited in order for a person to develop psychotic depression. Certain genes might be responsible for depression symptoms while others might be responsible for the psychotic symptoms, making it possible for an individual to inherit a genetic vulnerability to depression, psychosis or both. This theory would explain why not all people with depression develop psychosis.
Another theory is that high levels of the stress hormone cortisol could be involved in some cases. High levels of cortisol are often found in people with depression.
What Are Its Symptoms?A person with psychotic depression will first of all experience a combination of depression symptoms, potentially including:
- Depressed mood
- Diminished interest or pleasure in activities previously enjoyed
- Significant changes in weight and appetite
- Sleep difficulties
- Fatigue or lack of energy
- Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
- Inability to concentrate
- Thoughts of death or suicide
In addition to the above depression symptoms, patients with psychotic depression will also experience delusions and/or hallucinations.
How Is Psychotic Depression Diagnosed?At present, psychotic depression is not considered a separate illness. Instead, it is considered to be a sub-type of major depressive disorder. In order to be diagnosed with psychotic depression, a person must first meet the criteria set forth in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders for major depressive disorder. In addition, the person must exhibit signs of psychosis, such as hallucinations and delusions.
An evaluation by a physician might also include testing to rule out other potential causes for the patient's psychotic symptoms, such as drugs.
How Is It Treated?Psychotic depression is usually treated in a hospital, using medications called antidepressants and antipsychotics. When depression symptoms are severe, electroconvulsive therapy may be used to bring about rapid relief. Ongoing treatment will include medications to prevent a recurrence of symptoms.

I've been meaning to write an article about this for a while now, and I finally have time. Here we go! After Yesterday's loss to the Panthers, I have turned my view towards the NFL draft and the 2012 FA class. No, I have not given up on this season and I do feel like with some improved play calling we could still win the division, but after three weeks, this team is clearly not in the running for the Super Bowl. Therefore, I want to start looking forward to another offseason that will hopefully push us to that level. After all, what do we as fans watch for? To see our team win the Super Bowl. I feel like I have a solution that will ultimately propel this team to a level that Jacksonville fans haven't seen in a while.
I am not even going to touch the topic of coaching because I feel that our team will look very different next year. Anyways, if our team does not progress on offense, we will end up in the 5-7 win range this year. I expect us to win a game or two that we were not expected to win, although I also expect us to lose some games that we should have won. Being in the 5-7 win range puts us in the top 14 picks in the NFL draft. After looking at our team, we have 5 really big needs still(WR, OT, DE, CB, and S). The last two are not big needs, but we need more depth in our secondary and I am anticipating us losing Mathis after this year. In the first round of the NFL draft, I predict there will be some solid WR and a couple very good OL prospects. I am a big fan of Blackmon as a college player, but I want a big WR in teal that will complement our other receivers. I also think a guy like Coples will slide due to his lack of production this year so far. I see our first round pick as either being Coples, Jeffrey, Floyd, Reiff, or one of a couple of CBs. In the second round, there will be some very solid DE prospects available that will probably be very attractive to Gene. Either take a WR or a DE. One of the major emphasis' that needs to be made in this draft is drafting for depth at many defensive positions. We obviously have very reliable starters in the front 7, but we lack depth. I feel that Gene needs to use his picks efficiently and draft more players. He needs to draft a larger amount of players, instead of trading up to get guys that he likes. As far as I can remember, we have traded away 3 picks to get Cox, Rackley, and Gabbert. Those picks were two 2nd rounders and a 5th. I like the three guys we picked up, but those are some picks that produce starters in the NFL. Rounds 3-7 need to be defensive depth like crazy. Depth! Depth! Depth! I don't know how many times I can say it. I would also like to see him draft some bigger school guys late in the draft. I don't care where our picks come from if they can produce, but players from bigger schools tend to make the adjustment quicker and that is what we need right now. He has drafted his project guys, and now he needs to draft quick impact guys.
I will post the part about FA soon because I just had some things come up and I can't finish this, but please comment about some of my random thoughts and let me know if you think I am off base or if I am spot on. I really think our team is headed in the right direction, but I'm worried that this year will put a negative taste in less informed fans' mouths.

The Memphis Grizzlies trailed by 20 points in the second half to the Golden State Warriors in Oakland on Monday night, and entered the fourth quarter down 16. But everything at Oracle Arena requires a good bit of drama, and Memphis provided it on the backs of Tony Allen, Mike Conley and Marreese Speights.
Memphis racked up 39 points, constantly going to the line and forcing Golden State into turnovers. The Grizzlies ended up with 17 free throws in the fourth -- Golden State had eight the entire game -- and the Warriors committed nine turnovers (eight of them Memphis steals) in the period. The comeback bid was successful, as Memphis won 91-90 thanks to a Conley steal and layup.
Conley ended up with 20 points on the night, nine in the fourth quarter. His game-winning steal was surprisingly his only takeaway of the game, as Tony Allen and Rudy Gay did most of Memphis' bidding in that category. Allen had a stunning four steals in the fourth, and Gay added two. Gay led the club with 23 points on the game, but struggled with his shot in the fourth and had to contribute on the glass and defense.
Speights had shot 0-5 through three quarters, but Lionel Hollins trusted him in the fourth, and the young forward followed through with eight points on 3-3 shooting during the stint. The Warriors were led by 20 points from Monta Ellis and 18 from Stephen Curry. But the duo combined for 12 turnovers, six of those coming in the critical fourth.
In other action:
Spurs 104, Hornets 102: New Orleans missed an opportunity for a rare win despite leading San Antonio midway through the fourth. The Hornets led 89-88 when Tim Duncan re-entered the game with a touch over six minutes remaining; San Antonio went on an immediate 6-1 run and held that lead for good as Big Fun scored eight points down the stretch, outdueling Emeka Okafor. Duncan finished with 28 points, and Tony Parker had 20 points and an insane 17 assists.
Bulls 110, Nets 95: Chicago's offense went ballistic at home, getting those 110 points on just 85 possessions as Derrick Rose returned to the court (22 points, eight assists). The Bulls shot 57 percent from the floor and committed just 10 turnovers. New Jersey's offense was actually stunningly good against Chicago, all things considered, though Luol Deng sat with a bum wrist. Jordan Farmar dropped 22 off the bench for the Nets.
Thunder 99, Pistons 79: Oklahoma City made easy work of Detroit at home. OKC's trio of stars -- Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden -- combined for 68 points on 28-41 (68 percent) shooting.
76ers 103, Wizards 83: Philadelphia made easy work of Washington at home. It was again a balanced effort from Philly; only Tony Battie (1-3) and Evan Turner (3-10) missed more shots than they made.
Blazers 101, Kings 89: Portland found its power back at home, riding a 13-0 run in the second quarter to hold an extended lead all game long. Gerald Wallace had 20 points and eight rebounds for Portland. DeMarcus Cousins picked up another double-double with 18 points and 13 rebounds.

Helston football club to host 'Party on the Pitch'
Updated 9:40am Wednesday 12th June 2013 in News
Helston Football Club will be hosting a live music festival entitled "party on the pitch" on June 29 to raise money for Warchild and the Alzheimer's Trust.
The event will kick off at midday and run through until 10.30pm. There will be a live stage and an acoustic tent, which later in the evening will become a drum 'n' bass tent. All the acts hail from Cornwall and cover a range of musical tastes, including the Cold Roses, the choir from RNAS Culdrose.
Tickets are available from the football club at Kellaway Parc in Clodgey Lane, Christophers Estate Agents in Helston and from Hideaway Cafe in Porthleven. They can also be obtained online through the club's Facebook page by leaving a message for organisers.
The tickets cost £15, with children under 12 getting in for free if accompanied by an adult. In addition to the music, there will be a beer tent and food stands.

3Guess the Celebrity Without Makeup!
Wow, right? And let me tell you – it's not January Jones, and it's not Naomi Watts-or-Laura Linney (those two always look the same to me).
Want a second look? OK, here:
Got it yet? Here are a few hints to send you on your way:
- This girl spent so much money on plastic surgery that you think she'd look like some kind of preternatural goddess every waking minute of the day, makeup or not
- I *almost* didn't recognize her because she's actually wearing clothes in these photos, and not stumping around awkwardly in bikinis
- She looks more like her husband in these photos than he does
Take your guesses and jump on in to find out who the mystery lady is!
OMG, right? HEIDI MONTAG. She looks completely different and completely … well, ordinary. Don't get me wrong – she looks good. She looks pretty. But if I were her, and I spent as much as she did on plastic surgery of all things (you know, an amount somewhere in the area of ALL OF IT), I'd be pissed. What a waste of time, funds, and resources. Ugh.
What's she been up to, though, you're probably wondering? Anything good? Well, that's subjective. She's apparently been Tweeting Lana Del Rey, trying to make a friend though:
Can you imagine these two parading around town being friends? They could compare plastic surgery scars and talks about lame ex-boyfriends (and husbands). Just don't ask Lana to talk finances with Heidi here, because that's one thing they just don't have in common, guys.

I didn't recognize her at ALL!
I always wished I had the "gift" of being able to do makeup. I always knew the makeup artists could work wonders but after seeing these shots, I am even more convinced. We are all just one layer of war paint away from beautiful! (Must be exhausting actually.)
@St Louis Chick: You are absolutely correct when you stated that we are all just one layer of war paint away from beautiful. What is even more ironic is the fact that it takes longer to apply make-up to achieve a "natural" look! And it is exhausting, believe me, even when one does know how to apply make up well.

Some women mistakenly believe that it is time for a new diaphragm if the dome has become floppier, softer or changes color. This change in texture and color is normal with repeated diaphragm use. You call tell if your diaphragm is still considered to be in good condition by holding it up to the light and stretching it (just be careful not to puncture it with a sharp fingernail). If the rim of the diaphragm can easily be restored to a reasonable shape and there are no tiny holes, cracks or tears in the dome, then it is not time for you to get a new diaphragm. It is a good idea to carefully check your diaphragm this way often.
It is time to purchase a new diaphragm if you notice any damage after inspecting it. You should replace your diaphragm with a new one at least every two years. You should also be fitted for a new diaphragm by your healthcare provider if you have had any of the following:
- A baby since your last fitting
- A gain or lost of more than 10 pounds (approximately a 20% change in your weight)
- A miscarriage or abortion (after 14 weeks of pregnancy)
- Abdominal or pelvic surgery
- If your diaphragm just doesn't seem to fit well anymore

Despite a strong start and a standout performance from goaltender Alain Valiquette, the Voyageurs were unable to hold back the Mustangs in the last two periods. In the end, Western earned the win, beating the Voyageurs 3-2 at Countryside Arena in Sudbury.
The Voyageurs had one of their best starts of the season, putting up two goals within the first 10 minutes of the first period.
Laurentian opened the scoring at the 1:36 minute mark, when Nick Esposto scored his first of the game and seventh of the season. The Voyageurs continued to put the Mustangs under pressure, and netted their second of the game at 6:34 minutes into the first. Marc-Alain Begin was assisted by Therrien and Lamarre for his fifth of the season.
The Mustangs answered back less than a minute later.
Neither team would score for the remainder of the first, and Laurentian headed into the first intermission up on the Mustangs in a 2-1 game.
The Mustangs came out swinging in the second, though, outshooting and outscoring the Voyageurs.
The Mustangs notched their second goal of the game at the 7:15 minute mark in what would be the only goal for the period.
The Voyageurs were outshot 14-10.
The third period proved to be similar to the second. While the Voyageurs were able to outshoot the Mustangs, they were unable to find the back of the net. The Voyageurs took a penalty near the beginning of the third period for slashing, which led to a power-play goal for the Mustangs and the 3-2 win.
The Laurentian Voyagers men's hockey team will be looking to earn their first victory in the new year against the Guelph Gryphons today at the Countryside Arena.

Coach Greg Popovich walks a fine line managing his player's injuries and recovery. On one hand Pop's ultra cautious approach to players recovery assures that chances of re-injury will be slight. But the sword is double edged, as they say. Playing through pain builds the type of scrappy character an underdog team needs to have if they're going to going to realize their maximum potential. And make no mistakes about it; The Spurs, this season, are an underdog to win their 5th championship.
First let me say that it's near impossible to know the degree of pain any given player is dealing with and I don't intend to play psychic. But there is a reason why guys like Bruce Bowen don't acquire injuries that cause them to miss time. For guys like Bruce missing time simply is not an option, enduring on the other hand is. After being swept by the Suns last year it's hard not to wonder if The Spurs have abandoned the necessary gritty mentality it takes to be champion. So many modern day athletes mistake pain for injury and I hope The Spurs staff, especially Coach Pop, don't enable this sort of attitude.
I don't know how serious George Hill's injury is. I don't know what kind of pain he experienced upon his being clothes-lined by Craig Smith last night. But I hope he returns soon, for a multitude of reasons. And I hope injuries, such as Baron Davis' sore knee, are limited to destitute teams like the Clippers. Pain is inevitable suffering is an option. Here's to hoping for an injury free season.

The Real Reason the White House Is Stalling on Bolton
by Chris Bowers, Wed Jun 01, 2005 at 10:34:55 AM EDT
The names of American individuals and companies that may have violated export restriction bans on the shipment of dangerous weapons material to China, Libya, and even Iran. And is it too big of a leap to assume that some or all of these firms may prove to be very damaging to the White House, as campaign contributors?Holy crap. I remember, way back at the beginning of the Bolton fight, running into some people who didn't think Bolton was worth fighting because there was no chance of success and even if we did somehow succeed, it would not mean much in terms of political capital. Could those people have been more wrong? The Bolton fight could lead to a huge scandal, the sort of thing that could drop Bush and the Republicans to new lows in terms of approval and outlook for 2006.

In this week's Google Play Weekly, we talk about SEGA's mobile Humble Bundle, the Flappy Bird sequel, a PC classic on Android, and more Android apps news!
A new report from Comscore highlights how dominate mobile has become, while also shedding light on the fact that most average users generally stick to the same handful of apps.
Like Flappy Bird, Swing Copter has been the victim of hundreds of cheap clones. Thankfully, Google has now cleaned up the Play Store removing most of them in the process.
According to a new report, while the Moto X+1 will come with Verizons Messages app, it will at least be uninstallable by the user. Here's to hoping that all Verizon apps get this same treatment on the Moto X+1.
Android customization – The latest update to Tasker allows you to place buttons in your Notification bar. Use these buttons to control music, send SMS, turn on your TV and more. If Tasker can do it, you can have a button to make it happen in your Notification bar.
A new update for Google Search brings support for selecting up to 5 languages, with Google automatically detecting the difference.
Folks, this fine August day brings us deals on several interesting apps, including the popular Swype keyboard and Apex Launcher, and a selection of games from Cartoon Network.
The new game from Dong Nguyen, the guy who made and subsequently killed the global phenomenon called Flappy Bird, is here. It's called Swing Copters and it's pretty much the Flappy Bird concept moved to the vertical. Oh, and it's harder. A lot harder. Insanely harder.
Today's Pushbullet update is unique in that it takes functionality past simple notifications – users can now copy/paste across different computing units.
Carousel is now getting what could be the application's largest update to date, no longer staying exclusive to bug fixes and performance enhancements.

Two Entry Drafts ago, Cam Fowler was predicted to go top-5, easily. A franchise defenseman, they said; a smooth-skating, cerebral guy that could put up points like no other in his age group. Inexplicably, he fell to the 12th pick, and became a Duck. (Perhaps the hockey gods love a good pun: after all, doesn't Fowl-er just fit with the Ducks?). Two years later, Fowler has become a tantalizing prospect- defensively unreliable and prone to offensive slumps, yet displaying his developing talents on a nightly basis. There is no doubt that he still has the potential to become the defenseman he was predicted to be, but the question needs to be asked: are the Ducks managing his potential in the way that they should be?
In the Ducks 2007 Cup-Winning Season, our captain was perhaps the best cerebral, smooth-skating defenseman in history- Scott Niedermayer. While Fowler will likely never be as great as #27, he has the same style, and certainly can be the centerpiece of a team. However, Niedermayer had one thing that Fowler has not been given: a defense partner that lets him maximize his game. Fowler can skate, but he is not physically aggressive, and will never be a shut-down defenseman. He doesn't have an overpowering shot, but he can pass. What Fowler and the Ducks needs to reach the next level of play is a Chris Pronger: A big, nasty son-of-a-gun that will hit, shoot, and clear space for Fowler to work his magic. Francois Beauchemin has that style, but is older and simply lacks the same level of talent. Instead of a gritty, older veteran, doesn't it make sense that Fowler mature with another talented prospect, letting them build chemistry as they enter their prime?
This is what Bob Murray needs to realize. While his core is solid, it is not complete. Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry and Bobby Ryan provide the scoring talent, perhaps more talent than the '07 team. Fowler can learn to feed them better than most, and Jonas Hiller is a more than serviceable goaltender, the first half of this season aside. A defensive monster could push this team over the top; along with a solid checking line, he could see the Cup could return to Anaheim in a few years. So the question remains, where do we go? Do we make an effort to sign Shea Weber? Do we make sure we get a high enough pick this year to grab a top-line defenseman of that style, perhaps Ryan Murray? While both are viable options, the best choice may lay elsewhere.
Getzlaf and Perry are in their prime, as is Jonas Hiller, and Bobby Ryan is rapidly approaching his. Therefore, picking someone in this year's draft may mean that we have to wait too long. Shea Weber, on the other hand, may simply cost too much money to keep the core together, and is out of Fowler's age range. There isn't an easy answer to this question, but my preliminary answer would be to obtain the Tampa Bay Lightning's Victor Hedman. He is an elite prospect in the mold of Pronger or the Bruin's Zdeno Chara, and in between the age of Fowler and the rest of our core. Fowler-Hedman has the potential to become the next Niedermayer-Pronger, and while it may cost one of the Big Three to obtain him, giving one of them up would mean that we could grab not only Hedman, but depth that was the hallmark of a Cup team that won it all with two first-line stars and Chris Kunitz.
As this is my first-ever blog post, I'd love some feedback: Is breaking up the Big Three sacrilege? Can Fowler do it on his own? Is Hedman not the guy we should be after? All are tough questions, and we can only hope that Bob Murray holds all the right answers.

We're constantly improving. (Interview with Zigi)
[size=13pt]'WE'RE CONSTANTLY IMPROVING'[/size]
As he completes his second year as Vikings owner, Zygi Wilf has confidence in his organization, faith in his coach and lofty goals for his team.
Pioneer Press
Article Last Updated: 04/13/2007 12:48:11 AM CDT
Although the regular season is five months away, Vikings owner Zygi Wilf revels in a key two-day period that is approaching.
In an extensive interview, Wilf dismissed his team's low-key approach to free agency and insisted the Vikings will build a champion through the NFL draft on April 28-29. Wilf also addressed expectations for his 2007 team and maintained his commitment to coach Brad Childress beyond the coming season.
Pioneer Press reporter Sean Jensen sat down with Wilf at Wilf's Winter Park office Thursday.

It doesn't really say anything new.
He's really clear that he's behind Childress all the way, but you'd expect that also.
