New York, July 8, 2009 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has agreed to terms with restricted free agent forward Brian Boyle.
Boyle, 24, was acquired by the Rangers on June 27 from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for a third round pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. Boyle appeared in 28 games with the Kings last season, registering four goals and one assist for five points, along with 42 penalty minutes. He established career-highs in games played (28) and penalty minutes (42). Boyle notched three goals in a four-game span from March 28 at Nashville to April 4 vs. Phoenix. He also skated in 42 games with the Manchester Monarchs of the American Hockey League (AHL), recording 10 goals and 11 assists for 21 points, along with 73 penalty minutes. He collected two points (one goal and one assist) in his season debut with the Monarchs on December 5 vs. Worcester. In addition, Boyle posted two, four-game scoring streaks – December 13 vs. Providence to December 17 at Manitoba (one goal and four assists) and March 4 vs. Springfield to March 8 at Worcester (two goals and two assists).
The 6-7, 252-pounder has skated in 36 career NHL games with Los Angeles, recording eight goals and two assists for 10 points, along with 46 penalty minutes. He registered two points (one goal and one assist) and a plus-two rating in his NHL debut on February 2, 2008 at New Jersey. Boyle has also appeared in 114 career AHL contests with Manchester, collecting 41 goals and 42 assists for 83 points, along with 162 penalty minutes. In 2007-08, he established AHL career-highs in games played (70), goals (31), assists (31), points (62), and penalty minutes (87). That year, he led the Monarchs in goals, ranked second on the team in points and fourth in assists. His 31 goals also led all AHL rookies and ranked 10th in the league overall, while he finished second in the league among rookies with 62 points. Boyle also tallied three goals and five assists for eight points in 16 postseason contests with Manchester during the 2007 Calder Cup Playoffs.
The Hingham, MA native was originally Los Angeles' first round choice, 26th overall, in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.

Could have a chance to compete for the 4th line Center position with Arnason & Anisimov if he has a good camp. He's huge…does he have much speed to him?
Jeff S. from Delaware
S. Koivu signed a one yr deal with Anaheim.
Funny to see where sathers prioritys are get the new guys signed instead of taking care of your own what a joke please get dubi, and cally signed to a long term deal.
patience is a virtue
cally and dubi arent going anywhere, people need to calm down.
Saying "First" when you are the first to log in on a new column, ranks right down there with "Thanks for taking my call, Dr. Laura," or whomever. Get a life. Some of us don't need to see or hear the trite jibberish dozens of times, every week of our lives.
Laurel Babcock
Oh Cakewalk, c'mon….it's a little bit of fun we have here…..really, that one word or number is that bothersome? I was thrilled when I was first once!
Anybody know the length and money of Boyle's contract?
Seriously, Laurel?
I agree with Cakewalk, it's pretty pathetic.
Staal Wart
Cakewalk seriously talk to Dr. Ogrodnick, he can refer you to at least 4-5 other blogs where you can be first!
Tony from AZ
I say first when I'm first, but I'm usually too slow.
So 12th !!!
Come on – lighten up !!
Hoping this Boyle character doesnt turn into another Aaron Voros, or P. Rissmiller…
anyone know the terms? Pls nothing over 1m…
Bill nyR
well, looking at the trend, it is probably a 17 yr deal worth 34 million, with a player option for 6 more years at 3 million per year. oh yeah, a no move clause, except if he wants to be traded.
Technically… Staal Wart you are not first… Carp is! :P
and yeah..i been asking about kaspar for the past week! i hope he didn't sign with KHL!
I'm shocked (not really) by the apparent "dead-weight" signings Slats has been up to, when for the same money we could have kept Betts, Sjoe…
I'm worried about scoring next season, defense, the powerplay, and the PK.
Am I leaving anything out?
At least with Betts and Sjoe (and a little help from Hank) we knew the PK was effective.
Dan LD
The 2003 draft class is the gift that keeps on giving.
Way to go rangers not getting Koivu for 3.25… Thats ok we still have Voros and Rissmiller at 2mill total
Staal Wart
Hey all you complainers who aren't first…think of it this way…the first shall be last and the last….
Yeah Baby
Koivu is on the decline, glad we didn't go for him.
Interesting to see what becomes of the Heatly situation.
I Was Duguay
Riche—to your point about the PK, since it's summer I'll say this. We won't need a good PK because Torts is going to discipline and break the guys in camp and there will be no penalties for fear of skating until puking.
No Country For Old Rangers
I think Old Man Sather is up to something…
Cally and Dubi will be signed, that's pretty much a given.
Did we really need fragile Koivu in addition to Gaborik?
What's next, lure Lindros out of retirement to put together the most injury prone line in history? No thanks.
Koivu would have been a bad signing.
I'm fine with them going into the season with the following lines:
Drury/Callahan or Zherdev/Avery
I think you're unquestionably going on the idea that Dubinsky, Callahan, Higgins and Zherdev will significantly increase their production going forward. But who is out there tat really warrants a look? Perhaps you consider Justin Williams as a third line center if you can't keep Zherdev. But I'd much rather take my chances with what we have than throw a bunch of money at, for example, Lang.
If Korpedo goes to the KH, then that 04 draft, or what ever it was, is officially a bust. Monty, Korp.
Anyway, nice to see Boyle get signed, hopefully he wins that 4th line spot. Who knows, maybe he'll surprise us.
And good to see Koivu gone. No need to sign another guy who will retire after one year.
Now that Boyle, and Higgins are dealt with, maybe Slats can try and make a few trades.
Gaborik = G
People are talking as if Betts it gone…has he said he isn't gonna come back? I know Sjo went to Calgary but can we still sign Blair? And if so I think that we should be signing him before boyle….
Anthony M
For what it is worth, TSN is reporting that Doug Janik signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Detroit Red Wings.
Janik signed with the Wings. Does he have a bro ? I thought we got him in the Blowmez deal ?
Koivu is a good solid player, good leader and for a 1 year deal woul dhave been a far better signing than 99% of the trade ideas posted here.
That guy has heart.
Yeah Janick was from the Gomez deal.
Don't understand why Detroit needs him.
Can people stop bringing up Voros or Rissmiller?
Neither are going to be on the Rangers roster, they dont hit the cap, MSG has enough money to eat those contracts
Wasnt Rissmiller 1 year anyway?
How would it be a bust? Dubinsky 2nd round, Callahan 4rth Round and Byers is knocking at the door. If Korpedoo goes so be it. we will have at least 2 great picks from that draft
How the hell is Chicago pulling this off? Their cap is 60mil but the rangers is 55? Ye gods Hossa-Sharp-Kane, Toews-Madden-Versteeg, Bolland-Byfuglien-Ladd, Then they have Brower, Eager, Kopecky, Burish and Fraser to make up a 4th line. If they had Hank this team would go 82-0.
That's why Sather needs to trade for Sharp! Give some picks and cap relief! I wish
Oh and 40th!
You don't have to be under the cap until just before the season.
I'm not trying to start something here but do you really think that lineup will score any more goals than our pop-gun offense did last season?
Does it scare anyone with it's speed, size, talent? Will it punish any liberties others take with it when it's PP takes the ice?
Bam Bam
Hey…remember last year when we loaded up on 3rd/4th liners?
Deja friggin vu
Gaborik's an upgrade 4 sure but he can't do it all himself.
Brad Richards. Why Sign Koivu when we can dump a salary for Richards. Its gonna happen.
if gaborik goes down and we dont have any one to step up to take on his role…oh boy! kiss the season good bye!
Fly Line
you guys think Sather is simply being patient, or is he potentially just finished? Many people here were asking for the team to play the kids and avoid any huge contracts- could he go into the season with
Higgins, Dubi, Gabby
Callahan, Drury, Z
Avery, Anisimov, Grachev
Byers, Boyle, Brashear
Redden, Rosi
Staal, Girardi
Hobey Baker, Kid
Lundy, Vally-
Is that what we start with? would be interesting-
I predict Redden & Morris on D, with Stall & Girardi, and the 2 best kids out of camp. YOUNG D corps.
At this point what was the point of getting Koivu? I still expect Sather to make a big move and get rid of youth for a veteran but, at this point, I'm happy going into the season with a ton of roster spots available for the young guys to fight for. NO Morris, please.
I've been first a couple of times but I never sar "first." Not a big deal either way.
Doodie machetto
Interesting footnote about Boyle, he is another player sather could have drafted instead of jessiman.
Anyone have the numbers on the deal?
Cindy Crawford
Its amazing how different this team is from last year
Cross Check Charlie
54th!! Wooo hoo
How many years in the last ten has there not been a lot of turnover? Maybe one?
Cindy Crawford
Cross check, it just seems this year is a complete turn. The last 2 seasons have seen similar rosters. If I really wanted to think I'd go back further but frankly I am having trouble remembering what exactly I did last weekend
Cross Check Charlie
Kane and Toews are still on their rookie contracts. There was a decent story about them on Cycle Like the Sedins.
I honestly don't see Sather as being finished…
We have too many gifted, young d-men (a great problem to have) to keep all of them. Waiting to see which ones flop and which ones work out is suicide.
You keep the ones you think will be awesome and deal one or two of the others for the help/prospects you need… i.e. scoring.
Unless Glen is trying for the straight flush in front of Hank in 2 – 3 years with a defense of
Staal-Del Zotto
Rob M
cwgatti thats not a very good prediction, morris and mara are gone, definitely
Rob M
& another thing about your prediction, dubi will not be a third liner, in the playoffs torts used him alot and likes him alot, he will be a first or 2nd liner drury will not be centering the top line, in my opinion
it is amazing how different this team looks from year to year every year! Sather is a master of not keeping players around for long! Another great quality of Glen!
Rob M
who is the legit source saying korpo might go to KHL?
FIRST. . . . . . with anything interesting to say. Brad Richards will be a Ranger. Torts wants players in his image to get to the locker room. That's why he is so hard up for St. Louis (who may also be a Blueshirt before October). They both have a very close relationship with Tortarella, and I BET he is trying hard to get them both.
I would believe that Dubinsky, ROZI and a slew of young D will be in play.
voodoo Hossa
Can we please stop with the "wanting Brad Richards"
His salary is more ridiculous than Redden's.
Carp you hearing any rumblings about anyone?
You want to talk roster turnover? The only players still with the team since the first post-lockout season (05-06) are Rozi and Hank (and Betts, in the unlikely event he returns).
No Country For Old Rangers
drury a first line center?
Bob M.,
I can't see Dubi playing ahead of Brad Richards. . . . I think Morris is still in play. If Rozy gets moved, the NYR are gonna need some veteran D. That's why Morris is still on the board. Torts likes him too. Did you notice that sneaky wrister Morris has?
Cross Check Charlie
Last year they picked up Voros, Naslund, Zherdev, then Morris and Antropov and Avery during the season. That's almost a third of the roster.
Carp needs to announce when he's writing a new post, this way we all can fight for "FIRST."
Drury is my first line center ONLY because Gaborik in my first line winger. If you have ever watched Gaborik, he doesn't even NEDD a center. Drury would be a reliable center on that line.
Dubinsky may not even be a 4th line center on this team. He is probably gonna get dealt.
Rob M
dubinsky is going NOWHERE for the last time, tort loves him, cwgatti you are really reaching here, we will not get both st.louis and richards, maaaaybe just one
I mean "NEED". I am too excited to type. Anticipating big news.
Rob M
i dont mind morris but i just doubt he is signing here unless he takes a major pay cut from last year, we should just keep Rozy im telling you, he is much better than Morris, Morris made some real dumb plays in our own zone in the playoffs, particularly game 6 leading to one of the caps' first few goals
I didn't guarantee St Louis. I said "MAY also be a NYR."
We will see. We will see.
Rob M
cwgatti you are crazy, "dubinsky is not even a 4th liner on this team, hes going to get dealt?"
No Country for Old Rangers are you reading this stuff?
I know you are an intelligent hockey fan can you tell this guy he is delusional for me please?
Rob M
Id much rather have Dubinsky centering Gaborik than Drury, Drury likes to shoot, Dubinksy is always making passes, he will be making passes to a guy that can bury it half the time in Gaborik and he can skate with gaborik and him and Avery could go in the corners and get pucks for Gab, my first line would be Dubi with avery and gaborik on the wings, you dont just put all the best players on the top line you need chemistry and you need a gritty guy on each line to get pucks for guys liek gaborik
Fly Line
If people wouldn't deal Dubi, and there were rumors that Sather wouldn't deal him either- for Heatley, why would you deal him for Richards?
Rob M
If we ended up signing Zherdev and this was the team we went into the season with my lines would be
Avery – Dubi – Gaborik
Higgins – Drury – Callahan
Zherdev – Anisimov – Grachev
Brashear – Boyle – Korpo
And I would move Zherdev up to play the power play and possibly put Gaborik on the point/high right circle since he will have the best shot on this team by far, hav zherdev on the left gaborik on the right and have rozi dishing them passes from the top as the quarterback, the way the caps and pens set their PPs up with havin Semin and Ovechkin at the top of the circles, and Malkin, to set them up for one timers
Brad Richards is a terrible option. He's worse than Gomez and makes even more money. I'd rather keep Roszival.
I'm tired of people saying "Give the kids a chance." What happens if we do give the kids a chance and they all end up sucking? Then I'm sure you'll all be the first to complain that we didnt sign Morris/Mara/Zubov or keep Rozi when we had the chance. Some of you seem to think it's less a chance and more of a guarantee. Every Ranger fan should know by now that there are no guarantees.
Cindy Crawford
I agree that we have had a tremendous turnover when it comes to our roster… but one thing that is very different is that Sather has kept the youth. Got to give it to him for that..
Nasty 1
I think Sather is trying to find a way to get big Vinny from Tampa.
I meant to say that Dubinsky will not be a 4th line because he will be traded.
As far as ability, he can play 1st line center. He did with Jagr. Of course he dragged Jagr's numbers down like a lead balloon, but he did play 1st line. Probably can play LEGIT 2nd line on about 6-8 NHL teams. He isn't bad at all. I just meant that he will not even be a Ranger. That's why I said he would make the top 4 lines.
Read this and tell me if you get the same feeling I am getting about Dubinsky. . . . .
I Was Duguay
I think the real point of "give the kids a chance" is it's a helluva lot cheaper to miss the playoffs or get bounced early with youngsters than it is with overpaid vets. I'd rather go one season, all youth and then be $10-15 million under the cap the following season than be right up against the cap with the same results.
Zherdev is a 2nd line forward, not 3rd
J Bone
Fly Line – thank you. You took the words right out of my mouth. Refusing to deal Dubi for Heatley then subsequently dealing him for Richards would make absolutely no sense.
I personally like Richards, but do we really need another guy with a contract worth over 7 mil a year who hasn't scored more than 70 points in the last 3 seasons? Plus if the Rangers really want to do the "youth movement" thing (and many of us seem to agree that's the best choice for long term), and the Rangers have a couple solid looking prospects at center, why would you trade for Richards and basically ensure that the young guys won't be playing until his contract is finished (after the 2010-2011 season)? It's fun to imagine Richards coming and turning the team around, but it wouldn't work like that anyway. Leaving the roster as it is might be boring and it'll condemn us fans to a rough season or 2, but it's going to work out better for us in the end.
LeCavalier is LeComing to LeRangers. That's what Slats has up his sleeve. Just one man's opinion.
Makes perfect sense. Trading a center for a center. Including Dubi in the Heatley deal would leave them without an NHL ready (albeit overrated) center. Gomez was just dealt. So, I can clearly see why Dubi wasn't part of any Heatley deal.
Rob M
i know zherdev is a second line forward but somebody is going to have to play the third line between avery zherdev higgins callahan and i thought it might be a nice fit wit the other 2 russians, torts plays 3 lines so its not like they are going to get much less time than the 2nd line
Trading Dubi would have left:
Like Capt. Quint told Hooper in Jaws:
"Don't you tell me my business, boy. . . . "
Higgins can play center. . . . .some.
We just got out of one stupid bloated contract and you guys wanna take on another? Richards is making 7.8 mill for 2 years. You can kiss Staal goodbye if we trade for him cause we will still be broke. And dont say "if they take Rozy or redden because it isn't gonna happen.`Gtting rid of rozy would be a major mistake as he is our best veteran Dman and all the other crap out there is worse and will be as or more expensive for the return
How about no more big contracts. Staal/Girardi need raises next year and Dubi/Cally haven't been re-signed yet.
Nasty 1
Dubi, Rozi, Sangs, and a pick for VL. I agree Cliff. I have thought about this for a while now. I think Sather has this up his sleeve. The only player whose name has been mentioned in trade rumors that I would include Dubi in a trade for is Vinny.
Centers would then be: Vinny, Drury, AA, Boyle/Betts. Sounds fine by me, and Vinny could set Gabby up big time. Would be an amazing first line, and finally give this team that legit first line we have so desperately needed for years.
Rob M
Yea I dont think we are going to be making a blockbuster trade I think we may sign one more UFA forward and Im not even sure about that, this may be it.. I really think we should bring Zherdev back for another shot, it was his first year on a new team and first year in a major market in new york city.. he is still young, turns 25 in november, I think it would be a mistake to let him walk
Vinny L has a Full NTC and a 10 million dollar salary. He is going to rot in Tampa for years to come. That conract kicked in at the start of free agency
I think they need two scoring lines.
Rozy gets 15 mil for 3 years.
Richards gets 15 mil for 2 years.
I could live with Richards for just 2 years.
Rob M
Thats such a fantasyland first line having Lecavalier and Gaborik on our team on top of all the other monster contracts we have.. Its not going to happen Ill be the first to say it
Dubi, Rozi, Sangs, and a pick for. . . .Richards. That makes sense.
I much rather have Heatly than Richards.
I do feel Dubi is on the trading block since his value seems to have been pretty high (but I don't think he'll be consistent enough to be good for years to come).
Rob M
and I agree with Tyree, like i have been saying all along as well, we need to keep Rozsival he is going to be the one veteran d-man that we can count on, im counting on Redden to play better this year but thats about it, Im not going to count on him in big situations or anything like that.. Its not worth getting rid of the salary that Rozsival has if we arent even sure that these younger d-men are going to come up at all, he needs to be a Ranger this year and I think he will be
And Ill bet money right now that Lecavalier and Richards will both not be Rangers come October
Rob M
oh and let me add one more name to that list, Dany Heatley
you people nuts thinking theres a chance we still might get Heatley, ive said it before already how many guys do you want to have making over 7 or nearly 7 mill a year on one team? its insane, its not happening
Rob M.,
How much $$$$ ya wanna wager?!?!?
Oh and another thing:
I was the guy sreaming to trade Dubi in October of last year when we could have REALLY got something for him.
I took a lot of abuse for that one too.
Anything is possible with Sather, did anyone think we'd sign Gomez, Drury, Redden, & Rosi to those contracts?
Bolts r not dealing their captain. and what if Vinny does not want to come to NYC, I think he has a no trade clause that kicked in on july 1st. bolts r looking to make the playoffs this year. and on St.Louis no thannks, on the decline and Richards well another contract. id love if we can snag Nathan Horton. he seems like a torts guy.
Horton to Rangers
Korpikoski, Girardi to Florida??
lou vega
roscival is so effin bad.. it's like he is using paint cans as skates.. his iq is under 20.. he shoots when he should pass, pass when he should shoot.. he can't keep up with anyone.. gives up the puck in the defensive zone.. staal is the cornerstone of the d.. the sooner we get rid of roscival and redden the better for the rangers.. and if some other stupid gm will take them for a bag of fritos i'd get the deal done today
Neil Sedaka said it best: "Growing Up Is Hard To Do." lol
Fly Line
CW- understand the position need- but Heatley is a much more valuable asset than Richards is- I don't think either is happening-
I feel like starting a "trade Dreary" rumor. We HAVE to have that cueball back until the BHL (Bettman Hockey League) expands to 40 teams and he gets drafted? I say Dreary and a pound of fettucini for the retired Sakic – even if Sakic does not unretire.
Rob M July 8th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
...have rozi dishing them passes from the top as the quarterback…———————————————————————————Have you been watching the same Rozsival that we have? Rozsival couldn't quarterback a powerplay if his life depended on it. He's still looking for Jagr every time he gets the puck.
He probably double-clutches even when he passes gas.
Neil Sedaka said it best: "Growing Up Is Hard To Do." lol
He said "Breaking up is hard to do" But good idea.

DAM I MISSED FIRST!!!!!!!!! Don't worry cakey ,youll be first. Daveymax , only thing pathetic about other people is the way you said it right away.You must have been admiring yourself and had an out burst looking in the mirror,hahaaaa
Staal Wart
For the life of me I can't understand why Dubinski would even be considered tradeable…absolutely dumb move.
Brad Richards at 7.8 million for the next two years.
The guy that scored 16 goals and 48 points in 56 games last season and 20 goals and 62 points in 74 games the season before?
The same crowd that is screaming about Zherdev wanting more than 3.5 million for his 23 goals and 58 points last season wants waaaaay overpaid and overated Brad Richards at 7.8 million?
Richards best goal output was 26. Zherdev has already topped that. I am not saying Zherdev is worth more than 3.5 million. I am saying Richards is not worth 7.8 million. Where would he ever fit in regarding the cap? Do you think Dubinski could score 30 in a few years?
You betcha! All this talk about Dubi being trade bait seems to be a little far fetched to me. This kid is still developing. Richards is not and he ain't worth the 7.8 million a year that the Rangers can't afford to pay.
Staal Wart
"Dubi, Rozi, Sangs, and a pick for. . . .Richards. That makes sense."
huh? Richards…I'll pass!
Yeah I want a guy who makes 7.8mil and only scored 16 goals
in 56 games…makes Z look like a steal
I would only take Richards if we got rid of Redden in the process. The money about evens out, and it gets rid of Redden. 2 birds, 1 stone.
Vague Zubov rumor..
Like Koivu, it appears Sergei Zubov is ready for a new challenge. After 12 seasons with the Dallas Stars, the soon-to-be 39-year-old defenseman is talking to other teams, as many as six or seven, about continuing his NHL career. It's believed the New York Rangers are among those teams. (Zubov played his first three NHL seasons with the Rangers, including the team's Cup-winning campaign in 1993-94.)
"It's a process," Zubov's agent, Jay Grossman, told ESPN.com Wednesday. "This won't be happening right away."
The Rangers missed out on a very good center in Koivu. He always comes to play, and he would been a good bang for the buck. He would have fit perfectly on the first line to feed gaborik. I guess Sather didn't think so. I wonder who he will come up with?
If Sather brings back Morris or Zubov, what does that say about all of the defensive prospects that we have? What's wrong with taking 3 out of Gilroy/Heineken/Potter/Sangs/DZ/Sauer and rotating them at 5/6? I've seen enough Rangers hockey in my time and wouldn't mind a year or 2 of building for the future.
I would like to see the Dubi and Callahan contracts done before Sather signs Morris or Zubov.
from what I hear from kings fans, Boyle is 6'7 but plays like he is 5'9. Another big wuss, maybe? hopefully he isn't Voros pt.2
Actually, don't count out Arnason and Locke for 4th line. Locke, can score at AHL level, got some skill…
4th line of- Boyle-Arnason- Locke ( Brashear or Byers ONLY when we play divsion rivals/teams with goons)
PS- We need Brad Richards. BAD!!!!
Yea. We badly need to add another bloated underperforming contract/center to our roster
No one knows if DZ, Gilroy or Heineken can play at the NHL level. We have seen Potter, Sauer, I don't remember seeing Sangs, but Potter and Sauer looked real bad at times. They likely have improved since then. Training camp will tell the tale. It would be great to see these guys on the Rangers. I am a full believer in home grown talent.
ZzZz 13 ZzZz Arbitration saga continues... says Greg L.
Brad Richards for what he makes sucks.
POOR GOMEZ , Canadiens are looking for a new Captain and Marlov got the nod from the fans phone in poll…2nd place went to no captain at all. Gomez , Gomez for all that money , what are you good for?
Richards is the dangerous 2-way center we thought we were getting with Drury. He is a leader and would fit in well on this team. We are not getting Vinny or Heatley, so kill those talks. and "Z". Zherdev will not be back….
Trade Redden or Rozsvival to Dallas and bring back either Mara or Morris.
Rangers 2009/2010
Gaborik- Dubinsky- Callahan
Drury-Richards-Grachev ( Drury on wing, why not?)
Higgins- Ansimov-Avery
Arnason/Locke- Boyle- Byers ( screw Brashear!)
Staal, Girardi
Redden or Roz, __ ( insert either del zotto or whoever)
Mara or Morris, insert gilroy or sauer
potter (7th d)
Not bad, lets the kids play while at the same time making us competitive.
ZzZz 13 ZzZz Arbitration saga continues... says Greg L.
ooops that was Markov not marlov.
Staal Wart
Yup…we need Brad Richards like we needed Holik, Bure, Mess rd. 2, Bruce Driver, John Maclean, Pat Lafontaine, Eric Lindros etc etc etc.
we need richards as bad as we need Tom Renney and Glen Sather! didnt he break his neck last season?
I hope Gomez has a great year with the habs. He is making ton of money but it seems you forget who did the offering. There was no gun held to Sathers head. If you think Gomez took the money then came to NY to play bad your nuts. he had the worst reason of his life and he was not happy about it i an sure of that. He is a bit of an odd ball and he handles adversity different than most, I am sure he didn't want to be traded, and he wanted another kick at the can to show Ranger fans he is better than last season. The played injured when likely he shouldn't have been playing at all. I think he has heart and a lot of guts.
ZzZz 13 ZzZz Arbitration saga continues... says Greg L.
Miked , If we didnt have that Redden & Drury contract then I do see your lodgic. With those 2 contracts there is no lodgic. Our team can't afford to pay out another huge contract cuz just because you have the guy and hes paid does't mean he deliver on it.
It's all about Gaborik now , Hope Dubi does't pushed out the door. You see signing players to Complement our core group is the real deal here. Core group is Hank,Gaborik and Staalsie. The past tells me that as much as we love Dubi and Cally…GuLp!!! They could be next to go . When Gomez was signed , Jagrs writting was on the wall and he was shipped out. Now Gomez is gone and it's Gaborik who is the main ticket now. Guy scores like 4 -5 goals against us in one game , wow Gaborik is the real deal. To make him happy , everyone is expendile now with the exeptions of Hank and Staalsie.
Gomez was always Rangers killer when he played for the debbies! Watch him light it up against us next season!
They need another vet Dman because it makes zero sense to have two rookies playing together, it would be awesome, but it's asking a lot.
Get Zubov so they can deal Rozi and Zubov can play 3rd pair minutes and run the PP, and mentor the kids:
I'd like to see Staal/Girardi, Redden/Sauer, Zubov/insert young player. If Zubov goes down, then we have two kids and so be it.
By the way, I watched those scrimmages from Prospect Camp and while it's only scrimmages, this Heikennen kid looks like he knows what he's doing and the beat writers like him. Him and Jordan Owens are my wild cards to make the team:
Korpi (or Grachev)-Anisimov-Zherdev
Owens-Boyle-Byers (Brasher for goon games).
Greg L, good point. I was saying only reason we could/should get Richards is if either/OR Redden/ Rosz are moved
ZzZz 13 ZzZz Arbitration saga continues... says Greg L.
Actually CCCP , Hanks getting better every year so looks like with Higgins playing against his old team ..Rangers are shutting out Montreal ummm like 3 – 0 #1 Star is Hank #2 Gaborik #3 Zubov
Just Curious why we don't know the Cap hits for Brian Boyle and Tyler Arnason?
Rick Carpiniello
don't know if anybody mentioned this yet, but MSG is showing Game 7, Rangers-Devils, from '94. Should be a good game.
local fan is probably rooting for both teams … just kidding, local fan.
ZzZz 13 ZzZz Arbitration saga continues... says Greg L.
Miked ,ya said " Richards is the dangerous 2-way center we thought we were getting with Drury. He is a leader and would fit in well on this team. We are not getting Vinny or Heatley, so kill those talks. "
I agree that Richards would be the 2 way center we thought Drury would be. Too bad we didnt have Richards over Drury!!
I like Drury better but realisticly Richards is more of the total package. Fantasy trade is Drury and Rosival to Dallas for Richards and Zubov.
Sather loves his "Terms of the Deal Were Not Disclosed" for contracts. He's Shady like Slim.
Fly Line
I'm all for dealing Redden for a forward and signing Zubov short term- but don't reel like dealing Dubi for Richards is a good thing- anyone see the eklund rumor that Edmonton is interested in Zherdev (again grain of salt but interesting)
Carp, good episode on, the Bro/Manzier, TBS
Id much rather see Nyr vs Pens 1st game of the season instead of game 7 in 94 against the Devs.
I got chills when Z scored that goal with 7 secs left. Then Hank stole the show in OT, before winning in the shootout. Best part of the OT, was Staal putting Crosb*tch on his ass when he tried to split the D.
lol Carp!
im gonna go ahead here and predict that the Rangers will win this game in double OT!
"Matteau, Matteau!!"
ZzZz 13 ZzZz Arbitration saga continues... says Greg L.
Alrighttt Carpiniello!! Go Rangers!!!!!! Go Matteau!!!!! hehe who woulda thunk Matteau? To bad I aintz gots MSG , boooo Rick ya teaser!!Im off for now ,yeashh.
ZzZz 13 ZzZz Arbitration saga continues... says Greg L.
ORR , I forgot the details of that game , wow that was a great game!!!Staal knocking down Crosby,Z scoring with 7 sec left…we all thought the Rangers lost…then winning the shoot out.That was a great game ..I forgot about that one.
Fly Line
I don't want to watch the end of that third period- painful!
How DARE you switch over? This is game 7 vs Devils we talking about here!! No Seinfeld can beat that!
Put the remote down and step away from it immediately!

last for now.
"Rangers acquire Center, Brad Richards, and Defenseman Trevor Daley from the Dallas Stars for Defenseman, Michael Rozsival, Prospect, Artem Anisimov, 1st Round Pick, and Conditional Draft Pick"
what is the point of posting fake trades and fake links?
do people really get erect over doing it 6 times a day?
It's fun, because people get so worked up about it.
mike nyc shut the lights in your basement, and get worked up with yourself
Lupz-I forgot about Aves LOL whoops. I'd like to see him play with AA this year. He's not a first line guy. Not enough skill or offense.
Chechoo-Dubi-Gaborik (the two do the dirty work for Gabby)
Higgins-Drury-Cally (Blue Collar Line should all be 20 G, 20 A guys)
Avery-Anisimov-Zherdev (The two can play the Russian skill game and Avery can do the grinding for them, plus Artie and Avery played together in HFD and Artie is great at the cycle game)
Korpi-Boyle-Owens or Byers and Brashear (Korpi does the dirty retrieval work, Boyle plays D and crashes the net, and Owens can keep up speed wise, Brash for the goons, or Byers is a moose)
That Richards trade was dumb. Rangers need to shed more than Rozi to get Richards under the cap and Torts said nice things about Dubi/Cally/Anisimov/Staal/Girardi.
mike nyc want to try that face to face little punk?. You probably live with your parents big baby. .....Carp should ban you. I'll kick you to the curb. Let me know where & when.

this is very touching!
I gotta laugh, "lets get Zubov" coming from the same people who bitch and moan every time the rangers consider getting someone over the age of 25
Reports in San Jose say the Rangers have replaced Toronto as the team involved in a three team deal, Sharks and the Black Hawks are also players, with Marleau the prize we are going for.
Staal Wart
CCCP…You wanna be my friend? I'll meet you on 42nd street, I be the one holding the sign that says…for a good time call MikeNYC
Chris-This Zubov thing is different
1. He'd only be here for a year or two.
2. He's great on the PP and his presence alone would help improve from 29th overall last year.
3. He'd mentor the kids; he wasn't great defensively when he came in the league and has worked his tail off the last dozen years learning and mastering his craft.
and most importantly:
4. Zubov being traded was pretty much the biggest Rangers injustice in my lifetime. Him and Norstrom should have been the top pair in the late 90s into the 2000s but whether it was xenophobe Colin Campbell or Neil The Deal trying to win now, him getting dealt was step 1 of 3 that ruined the franchise for a decade. It would be poetic justice and closure if he came back.
5. It's time the fans honor this man; led the 94 team in scoring and was clutch in the playoffs yet who was left out at Messier night? Who never gets any recognition for his role in winning the Cup? Who is the All-Time Russian DMan scoring leader? Who is gonna be in the Hall of Fame? Sergei Freaking Zubov.
you know its funny im always trying to get people to meet me @ warren 77
no one ever shows

gotta say that was the lamest sh!t i ever seen on this blog. 2 ranger fans fighting ezch other over a joke trade. when they should be out beating on islander fans. cmon guys no fightin. but if you do, i got 50 on bklnblue!!
mike in ia
colin- i was there last weekend man!!! where were you??? i was there with the big sign "mike in iowa"!!!!! lol colin, some peeps here read bad reviews on it so thats why nobody goes. its also kinda akward for some people to meet other fans from online blogs in real life ….
this just in, gm rick carpinielo has just traded mikenyc and bklynblue to the devils blog for a local fan and a sixer of hineys
mike in ia
i read the reviews and afterwards i checked my cc statements. all 5 of them were perfect. i got waited on by 3 people. i dunno theres bad reviews for a lot of the places i go to.
and my whole life practically revolves aroud the internet. im always down to meet chill people. ranger fans, linux nerds, etc.
i dunno i always get vip treatment there. maybe its my kicks? hahaha.
and i actually was there friday. i was quite happy w/ how quiet it was. it was also the day before the 4th so most people were in jersey already.
i hate you, lol
Back to the thread….what was Boyle's contract worth? $787k? He was on $750k last year so would get a raise of 5% automatically, but the press release says nothing about accepting a qualifying offer, therefore presumably its for more money and no mention of term either – what a frickin lame press release!!!
As for Korpedo, if his dad still read's the blog tell him not to go take the Russian mafia money, stay and take the Dolan $$ please..!!

mike in ia
uk- i would think boyle got just a slight raise. i cant see him makin more than 1mm/per.
mike in ia
all the talks of trading for richards is just funny. i mean, hes basically another gomez. maybe hes a little better but for the most part, hes comparable to a gomez type player. and for more money. if the plan was to get him, we'd have kept gomez imo. as much as dru n dubi arent 1st line centers, i think either of them could handle playing on the 1st with gabby. i think zherdev should be signed even at 4 mill. i know he is a ? going towards next year but by losing gomez,naslund, and antro, we have to keep him because he is the best option for a 2nd line winger and would probably produce more with less stress on him to be the go-to guy. let torts work with him a little and even if he isnt a 70-80 point guy, im sure he can at least get around 60-65 npoints. that is fine for a guy like him. we have too many 3rd line grinder types. naslund antro and gomez were all finnesse type skill guys. we need to keep zherdev if there are no better options.
I can't see what we have that we could trade for Marleau or Richards at the moment – without giving up one of our young core players. Although there is more and more rumour that we are dangling Dubi.
I could see us trying to snag someone like Tanguay – he has previous chemistry with Drury and might play the role of a playmaker on a line with Gaborik. I don't see him potting more than 20 goals though so would he be worth the $5m per we would probably have to pay? Can he be a top line LW?
People just like complaining about Z
$4mm??? LET HIM WALK!!
Oh, ok…and replace him with what exactly? What free agent of his caliber is out there for that money or less? Or do you want to propose another NHL 09 video game trade where we give up nothing and get back a top-flight player.
Zherdev is good, even for 4mm he is good. 60 point players in their mid 20s after 5 seasons in the NHL get paid that money.
Wade Redden is 32 years old on the buyout date of July 20, 2009, putting the total buyout cost at $20,666,667 spread over 10 years. His contract was originally valued at $39,000,000 with an annual cap hit of $6,500,000 beginning in 2008 and ending in 2014. The following is a season-by-season breakdown of the buyout. A negative buyout cap hit number indicates a credit.
2009-2010 $8,000,000 $6,500,000 $2,066,667 $5,933,333 $566,667
2010-2011 $6,500,000 $6,500,000 $2,066,667 $4,433,333 $2,066,667
2011-2012 $6,500,000 $6,500,000 $2,066,667 $4,433,333 $2,066,667
2012-2013 $5,000,000 $6,500,000 $2,066,667 $2,933,333 $3,566,667
2013-2014 $5,000,000 $6,500,000 $2,066,667 $2,933,333 $3,566,667
2014-2015 $0 $0 $2,066,667 $-2,066,667 $2,066,667
2015-2016 $0 $0 $2,066,667 $-2,066,667 $2,066,667
2016-2017 $0 $0 $2,066,667 $-2,066,667 $2,066,667
2017-2018 $0 $0 $2,066,667 $-2,066,667 $2,066,667
2018-2019 $0 $0 $2,066,667 $-2,066,667 $2,066,667
This is what would happen for the next 10 years for the Rangers if they buyout Redden this year.
As you can see we would save money on the cap for 5 years but take a 2mill cap hit for 5 years longer than he would be on the books if we just let him play out his contract what do you guys think is the Savings for the next 5 years worth the extra cap hit for 5 more?
Wow what a strange mix of opinions and I love the internet fight club idea. If this is your first time posting….You have to fight!
Anyway I hate the Richards idea, I would rather stay with the changes we made so far. I can't take another high paid player that is never going to live up to our expectations. Anyone that gets 7 mil should be AO caliber nothing less.

Additional Counties Eligible For SBA Disaster Assistance For Private Non-Profit Organizations In Maryland
ATLANTA, Dec. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S. Small Business Administration adds Anne Arundel, Cecil and Prince Georges counties for disaster assistance and reminds eligible Private Non-Profit Organizations (PNPs) to submit their disaster loan applications for damage in Maryland. These loans are available as a result of a Presidential disaster declaration for Public Assistance resulting from damages caused by Hurricane Sandy that occurred from Oct. 26 through Nov. 4, 2012.

"A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever"
-Shigeru Miyamoto
Oddly enough, I use to be a huge PC gaming fan who's now turning back to consoles. I played all the FPS, RTS, RPG, MMO, games out there and am just missing the one thing that's good on consoles, platform action/adventure games. RPG's feel a little better to me on consoles as well, with the exception of the MMO kind. Of course, I'm also eager to pickup my Wii and try that new experience!
I wouldn't say there's any kind of revival in anything. Games get pushed back all the time and won't kill a platform

Americans serving in Iraq will have to wait until the next president takes office before they can expect any substantial changes in troop numbers, if Bush follows the latest recommended plan from Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker.
The New York Times:
General Petraeus, speaking to Mr. Bush by secure videoconference during a two-hour meeting of the National Security Council, recommended putting off decisions on further troop reductions for a month or two after the departure in July of five extra brigades sent last year to help secure the nation, the officials said. They spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to speak freely about internal deliberations.
There would be more frequent reviews after that to see when withdrawals might be allowed to resume, without any predetermined outcome and, given the time required to put troops into motion, little likelihood of big reductions on short timetables.
During the briefing to the president, General Petraeus laid out a number of potential options, the officials said, but avoided using the term "pause." That word has gained traction here in Washington over recent weeks to describe the plateau in troop levels that is widely expected to last through the fall elections and perhaps beyond.

If the auto industry were a college literature course, Mercedes, BMW, and Audi would be those tight-pony-tailed girls who sit right up front taking color coded notes and organizing study groups for every chapter. Jaguar would be that guy who walks in late with Cheetos on his sweatshirt, apologizes for bringing the wrong novel, and then scores the highest on the final exam.
Yes, Jaguar has a spotty track record. Yes, it faces some serious challenges. And, yes, it builds a luxury sedan that absolutely betters its German rivals. Let there be no doubt: our editors drove the Jaguar XJ back-to-back with the excellent new Audi A8 during last year's All-Star testing. The Jaguar made the list; the Audi did not. It wasn't that close.
The XJ manages this feat by oozing style, charm, and presence from every pore. The much-discussed new sheetmetal absolutely grabs your attention. I find myself studying it, thinking about it. I still hesitate to call it beautiful, especially in long-wheelbase form, but this is one case where I can certainly cede that there's more to a car design than mere prettiness. Car reviewers have a habit of calling every luxury car interior gorgeous and stunning, but the XJ's cabin truly is. It integrates a healthy helping of technology - an LCD instrument panel and touch screen controls - into a very organic and warm environment rich with leather and wood. The Jag's interface scored last in our recent four-way comparison ("Interface-off," January 2011, page 14) but is by no means a terrible system. It's reasonably user friendly, if a bit slow, and synchs painlessly with an iPhone. One example of how Jaguar simply "gets it" is the driver's seat. Whereas others in this segment employ all sorts of adjustability and active bolstering, the XJ's thin and elegant seat fits like a glove with few adjustments required.
Jaguar has long mastered the black art of suspension tuning and continues to do so here. The XJ rides better than the softly sprung Mercedes S-class and yet handles as well as the BMW 7-series. Same deal with the steering: it's almost as effortless as in a Toyota Camry but is as accurate and communicative as that in just about any sport sedan. And those trying to wean themselves off of fossil fuel should avoid getting within earshot of this 5.0-liter V-8. It serves up its 385 hp more smoothly than any turbocharged engine could and sounds like a 1960s American big-block that's been to finishing school. The automatic shifts smartly even in regular drive mode, but I mostly left it in Sport to hear the engine snap into lower gears.
For all this acclaim, the XJ still isn't perfect. Some of the body panel gaps, for instance, wouldn't make it out of the Honda Civic manufacturing plant. And although Jaguar does seem to be getting its act together, there's no guarantee this relatively tiny, Indian-owned automaker will survive in an industry dependent on economies of scale.
I'd buy an XJ, anyway.

When I have got in the game is quite smooth and very playable but the servers are definitely unstable and you get booted out when they go down. It works really well with players around you though and when I was connected there was no lag from gushots or juddering about, the multiplayer aspect is definitely this games greatest asset.
The people I've met seems to be using their real names for their characters, is that normal? Is anyone else here going to be doing that?

"God Bless.my son just release frm hospital.thanks 4 all tha luv.YMCMB.Richgang," tweeted Birdman upon his release.
His peers including LL Cool J and Kid Cudi were also glad to have him back. "Im really happy to hear Lil Wayne is doin better. Sincerely. Hes a legend," tweeted Cudi.

Memorial Day Pilgrimage and 2012 Commencement (Day Four)
Memorial Day
Each year the St. Tikhon's Monastery and Seminary Community opens its arms in dramatic fashion to the greater Orthodox and non-orthodox community. This is a labor of love, the preparation for which is a several weeks long endeavor that involves every person associated with both the Monastery and the Seminary as well as many friends and families, volunteers from neighboring parishes and long-time supporters.
This labor of love is, in many ways, an iconic representation of our relationship with the world and an articulation of our place it that world. Each year we open up our lives to everyone who wishes to come and take part in the pilgrimage and each year we are surprised by the response.Â
This year, despite the heat, thousands of Pilgrims turned out to spend Memorial Day with the St. Tikhon's Community.
St. Tikhon's is particularly suited for this endeavor because it is something we do each year at the beginning of the Academic school year. Then again at the end of that same year we say goodbye to those graduates who leave us to go elsewhere in the service of the Church. This ebb and flow of loved ones in and then out of our lives is the very natural rhythm of our community. It is at times difficult and emotional but the shouldering of this burden is one that makes us who we are.
The Memorial Day Pilgrimage is an opportunity to reunite with friends and loved ones as they come here and for all of us to pray together, one for another - to share stories with one another, to teach one another, and to remember together.
A "motto" is defined as "a phrase meant to formally summarize the general motivation or intention of a social group or organization." The motto of St. Tikhon's is For the Life of the World and its Salvation.
Thank you for helping us as we try to embody that reality.
Thank you for allowing us to share our lives with you.
Thank you for sharing each of your lives with us, and God willing we hope to see you again next year.

John Stossel: Our road to Damascus
Launching missiles at Syria isn't one of them.
Many pundits talk about going to war as if all we have to do is make up our minds about what "ought" to happen — who the bad guys are — and the rest is just details. If we decide we must punish a tyrant, let the military worry about how to get it done.
Everyone agrees there are huge "known unknowns" in Syria — we barely know the composition of the rebel movement we're supposed to aid — but we should be more concerned about "unknown unknowns," to borrow former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's phrase.
When pro-war pundits did admit to uncertainty about what would happen in Iraq, it was often to stoke fear about what would happen if we didn't intervene. Saddam might use chemical weapons! Saddam might get nukes! Well, maybe.
I don't trust John Kerry, but I'll accept his claim that Syria's leaders probably used chemical weapons to kill 1,400 people. Horrible.
Even if that's the goal, our options are limited. Maybe we'll:
• Lob a few cruise missiles, like Bill Clinton did in Sudan.
• Kill Assad himself and then ... what?
President Obama argues that limited intervention in Syria might accomplish good more quickly and cheaply than our efforts in Iraq did. He said he wants a two-day engagement instead of months of fighting.
Even if the conflict remains localized and contained — a dangerous assumption in the "fog of war" — we can't assume that a new government will be more democratic or tolerant than Assad's regime.
Given what happened on Sept. 11, 2001, there are worse things than leaving murderous Russian-backed governments in place.

Something about GeorgePosted by: | Comments
Venice has had its share of noteworthy visitors over the past millennium or so — popes, kings, emperors, and so forth. The usual cast of characters in your usual empire.
This weekend we had George Clooney and his bride, Amal Alamuddin, whose four-day wedding festival was quite the talk of the town. Not all happy talk, but that's normal for here.
By now my trusty readers must be able to imagine the range of comments.
On the positive side: She's gorgeous, she's brilliant, her clothes are amazing. And may I add my own personal drama, my inability to decide which I would rather have, given the choice: Her 7-carat diamond ring, or her hair. I don't think it's fair that she gets to have both.
On the negative side: The lavish partying will not have much effect on the local economy (read: Expensive outsiders hired); blocking areas off for security (from whom?) such as the Rialto and even a stretch edging the Grand Canal, will create inconvenience for the indigenous people; all the glamour will not specially improve the image of Venice in the eyes of the world, considering the depressing degradation that continues unabated. The roiling maelstrom of waves caused by the journalist-bearing taxis and assorted motorboats accompanying the espoused pair and their A-list guests created more than the usual madness in the Grand Canal, inspiring yells of anger from gondoliers.
Several people interviewed by the Gazzettino have essentially said "Who cares?" More specifically, one woman opined, "He's got a big villa on Lake Como. Why couldn't he go there?"
Many of these remarks go to show, once again, that Venetians are phenomenally hard to impress. But what would be the opposite extreme (assuming that an event of this magnitude could go to an opposite extreme)?
Let's imagine for a moment that they had decided to get married in Eek, Alaska or Bland, Missouri. In such a case, I think the whole town would have been totally agog, what with housewives bringing homemade coconut cakes to their hotel and draping big streamers and banners over the main street, like on Homecoming Weekend: "WELCOME GEORGE AND AMAL," and there would be a parade like on the Fourth of July, with baton-twirlers and the big fire truck. And fireworks. And the local paper — say, the Bat Cave, North Carolina "Bat Biz" — would publish a long article, as they used to do in the old days, describing every dish eaten and every frock worn and every wedding present bestowed. We'll have to wait for People magazine to do that for us.
A few details have sneaked out (despite all the vaunted vows of complete silence).
For example: They (he, she, their wedding planner, whoever) didn't like the furniture in their five-room nuptial chamber at the Aman Canal Grande hotel. Too modern. So they had it changed. Out with what was there, which was put into a temporary storage tent, and in with a batch of antiques. I have NO DOUBT that their taste is better than the decorators'. I'm just saying. They didn't complain about the Tiepolo fresco on the ceiling, fortunately. Maybe they didn't notice it.
Also: The palace on the street behind the hotel was finally undergoing repairs, hence was covered with scaffolding. Ugly! So they paid to have it removed and, I presume, put back when the party was over.
But on the whole, for Venice this is just one more in an infinite procession of fancy guests and inconceivably lavish entertainments. In the Venetian Republic, when high-class people came for long visits, staying for weeks like relatives in the antebellum South, the city literally spared no expense.
When Henry III, King of France and Poland, visited Venice for a week in 1574, some noteworthy events included his attendance at the chanting of the Te Deum on the Lido (I presume at the church of S. Nicolo', which is the only thing that was there), passing under a triumphal arch designed by Palladio and decorated by Tintoretto and Veronese. Then there was the state banquet, held in the Doge's Palace in the monster Great Council Room; not only were all the ladies garbed in white and draped with spectacular jewels — the tablecloth, flatware, plates, and bread were all fashioned entirely of sugar. The table was decorated with elaborate sculptures of two lions, a queen on horseback between two tigers, David and San Marco, surrounded by kings, popes, animals, plants and fruits, also made completely of sugar.
Speaking of guests, Venice hosted, among others, Carlo Gonzaga in 1609, the Grand Duke of Tuscany in 1628, Maximilian of Bavaria in 1684, the Duke of Brunswick in 1685, Frederick IV of Denmark in 1708, Prince Frederick Christian of Saxony in 1740, the Duke of York in 1767, the Emperor Joseph II in 1769 and 1775. Pope Pius VI arrived in 1782 and Gustav III of Sweden in 1784. To read the schedule of festivities and what was built from the ground up to entertain Prince Paul Petrovich, the son of Catherine the Great and his wife in January, 1782, is to stagger belief.
You'd have to replace a lot of furniture to come up to the level Venice used to consider normal on these occasions.
So while I invoke for the happy couple "good wishes and male children" (auguri e figli maschi), as the saying goes, I appreciate a general grudging resistance here to make too much of the just-concluded joining in holy — actually, civil — matrimony.
Because, as Ernest Hemingway summed it up in 1950:
"She used to be Queen of the Seas, and the people are very tough and they give less of a good God-damn about things than almost anybody you'll ever meet. It's a tougher town than Cheyenne when you really know it, and everybody is very polite."
September 11 againPosted by: | Comments
I have nothing new to add to what I've already written, but I want to say that the indefatigable Vittorio Orio rowed his gondola today (with a partner), to keep alive the memory of the victims of the attack on the World Trade Center towers.
Someday I'll have a long talk with him to discover why he feels such an attachment to New York — specifically, to the firemen of New York — and more about this always moving gesture which he has made every year since 2002.
He focuses on the firemen for his own reasons, but is fully aware of everyone else who was there. Meanwhile, it's enough to know that he remembers.
Updating the UncratingPosted by: | Comments
First, apologies to those who subscribe; the link to a YouTube clip did not come through in the e-mail version. (I keep forgetting about that, because it makes no sense….).
Here it is. Background music for the New Year: http://youtu.be/EOt4VDDjuYQ
News from the Western Front, where all was not quiet on the night of Saint Sylvester (Dec. 31). The Gazzettino this morning gave some details.
At 10:30 PM the Liberty Bridge to the mainland was closed because there was no more room to park (38 buses and 1,500 cars were stashed at Tronchetto, 750 in the Comunale garage and 450 in the San Marco garage, both at Piazzale Roma).
Police estimated there were 80,000 people partying in and around the Piazza San Marco. Despite regulations requiring plastic bottles for your chosen beverage, there was plenty of broken glass around, which wounded 39 people. One person fell in the water, but not from the Piazza San Marco.
Astonishing, but the vaporettos and buses were sufficient and efficient. (As my old choir leader used to say when we did what he wanted, "Now you're in trouble — now I know you can do it.")
So much for the turn of the year. I'm facing forward now.
Uncrating 2014Posted by: | Comments
Oh look — there's a big box containing a whole new year sitting out there on our doorstep. Batteries not included — we have to provide our own. Some assembly required — all the tools are around here somewhere. User's manual — the same as every year. The instructions are few but really easy to understand: Don't do bad things. Think about somebody else at least once a day, not just about your own blessed self all the blessed time. Work more. Work less. Smile. Be thankful.
And in whatever time is left over, get the attic/garage/basement under control. And of course, start the famous diet. If I never see another panettone in my life, it will be too soon.
I happen to hate New Year's Eve, and always have. It fills me with foreboding. Celebrating the old year doesn't usually strike me as appropriate, and celebrating a year about which we know nothing seems like just asking for trouble. But as soon as midnight strikes, all the shiny possibilities of the new year, latest model, dazzle me, and I feel good.
The diet will be easy to start (all diets are), because at this point the holiday glut has transformed me, my brain, my world, into a shapeless mass of inert material. So at least the next few weeks will be devoted to erting up as much of the material as I can.
But let's go back to New Year's Eve for a moment. The day before it, we celebrated our third or fourth New Year's Plumbing Crisis. The water system in our little hovel seems to want to be part of the festivities, like lentils and cotechino. We had been battling a blockage in the kitchen sink drain, using progressively heavier chemical artillery, till said artillery conquered the pipe leading into the wall, allowing the accumulated substances, including sulfuric acid, to spill onto the floor. We're fine, the floor is sort of fine, but the blockage was found to be further inside the wall and was removed by Lino somehow and a new pipe installed. Fun.
Most people who come to Venice for New Year's Eve (about 70,000, if the reports are to be believed), have a simpler idea of entertainment than that: They think that celebrating it here is the most fun thing imaginable. Piazza San Marco. Fireworks. Bottles of spumante.
We don't go to the Piazza, as you might imagine, though we do open a bottle of prosecco at home when the clock strikes twelve. And we do usually walk down do the edge of the Bacino of San Marco to watch the fireworks. While it's true that any firework is better than none, especially over a reflecting expanse of water where it can illuminate the facades of the most beautiful city in the world, etc., this year's display was unusually dull. I had the impression that the city had looked over the fireworks offered and picked what amounted to the classic tourist menu. It was the visual equivalent of spaghetti with tomato sauce, breaded veal cutlet, French fries, and a half-liter bottle of water. The pleasure you derive from it isn't in the eating, but in the having eaten. Main value: It didn't cost us much. Not very festive.
However, two essential elements of New Year's Eve in Venice, and I daresay in Italy, don't show up anywhere on the tourist's program of the evening's entertainment.
The first is mass at 6:30 PM in many parish churches, the end-of-year acknowledgement to the Almighty. The liturgy is basically the same as every other day, but at the conclusion the "Te Deum" is recited, chanted, or sung. We don't go to the basilica of San Marco anymore because the notion of going to that part of the city on New Year's Eve, even at dusk, is unthinkable. They sing the Te Deum in Latin, which makes it even more solemn, but whatever the language, pausing to basically say "I'm still here, and You're still God, so thank You" is one of the best things you can do.
The second is the President's Address to the country at 8:30 PM, byTV, radio, or computer. In England this takes the form of the Queen's Christmas Message, and in the US we have the State of the Union address (on a wandering date unattached to any events significant to the world at large). As you can imagine, ever since the world economy vaporized in 2008, this speech has not been especially cheerful, and has tended to be rivetted together with words such as "hope," "trust," "courage," and "sacrifice."
On New Year's Day itself there is the annual concert from La Fenice, broadcast live on TV at 11:00 AM or so; it's now also viewable via streaming on the RAI, the national TV company, website. You can also watch its big brother, the New Year's concert from Vienna, in the afternoon. Those should be sufficiently soothing, and give you the impression that you're doing something when you're actually not. Unless you're already out there, dragging your suitcase, heading home.
Wherever you are, I hope 2014 is your very best year ever. I mean, why not?

Vintage Photos of Designers We Love
They're all household names now, but it wasn't always so. Becoming a major fashion designer is no easy task. You have to work extremely hard, know the right people and impress the unimpressed season after season. Of course, there are those few that make it all the way: Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenberg and Oscar de la Renta. We dug into our photo archives to unearth a few of these masters in as youths, on the rise.

HP CEO admits that "innovation takes too long to get to market"
HP's CEO Leo Apotheker is very enthusiastic about the upcoming HP/Palm products including the HP Pre 3 and the HP TouchPad, but even he admits that as innovative as those products are the delay of their launch is significant:
"It's not that we aren't innovative, it's that it takes too long to get to market," Apotheker comments. Both devices are expected in the summer months, with rumors slating the HP TouchPad for release in June. The truly unique webOS experience unfortunately seems to suffer delays from its initial launch on the Palm Pre and those delays were in the core of Palm's problems. But just when will the quicker launch of products happen? Obviously, not for this generation of products, but hopefully we'll see HP push future devices faster to market.

webOS still seems to be a bit laggy, however overall it is the best of for user-experience
9. Gawain (Posts: 375; Member since: 15 Apr 2010)
I got my VZW Palm Pre 2 on Friday, and coming from a BB, there is plenty to get used to, but WebOS is very intuitive, and the transition has been nearly painless (save for the lack of BBM). The only other issue I'm having problems with is with the IM client. I have a ticket looking into it, but aside from that, this thing rocks. If the IM doesn't get fixed though I'm going to have to give it up, otherwise, I seriously recommend everyone to at least take a look. Don't like the size of the Pre 2, wait a few months, the Pre 3 is on my list this summer for sure.

I believe it's the most underrated OS on the market hands down.
I prefer it over the Blackberry and iPhone UI any day of the week...
3. JeffdaBeat (unregistered)
Innovation takes too long to get to the market? Bullshit. How is it that Google, Apple, Samsung, Microsoft...all these companies can be innovative just fine, but HP seems to take too long? So far, HP/Palm have been just riding a wave of what's popular... WebOS is awesome, don't get me wrong...but it's hardly innovative.

I agree. Sounds like he drank the BlackBerry kool-aide.

With due respect, Android OS, all open, and wonderful, etc., is fragmented beyond reconciliation. Anyone, anywhere can slap that OS in a piece of plastic and it sell, bugs and all, support for future updates or not. Samsung "only" makes the hardware. Now between them, LG, HTC and Motorola...there are only so many ways you can make 4-inch glass look/feel different...
Apple and iOS has the fit and finish, and functionally works very well, but that experience hasn't changed in four years. That's the only company that can get away with that.
WP7, the only other fully integrated OS to truly compete against iOS, and looks pretty sharp, is in the same position as HP/webOS right now - if they put something out too soon, they'll get "BB Storm-ed" and end-of-game.
HP has a one chance to get this right. Otherwise, look for a "Nokia-part-deux". I for one, would like to see HP take the giant step to fully integrate webOS akin to iOS and WP7. They have the perfect platform waiting to be fed. Buy a music outfit, get the licensing and allow the "App Catalog" carry more than apps, add music and video, and position it right...could be a good play...

Everything that HP touches turns to shit. Look at Compaq. They made superb computers until HP bought them. HP products fucking suck, I'd never buy anything that says "HP" on it.

I hope they can meet there future time lines. That will be very important for them going forward. Sure, you had one hiccup (Palm Pre 2)
The Pre 3 sounds like an incredible device right now, by then it won't be all that..
Hope to hear HP pushing their lines out to all carriers, that would be nice as well.

I usually buy chicken breasts, skinless and boneless and I cook it different ways except fried. The other day I put two breasts in a pan and put a little olive oil, added chopped garlic and green onions. Put the chicken in and used seasonings and some teriyaki sauce which added more flavor to the chicken. Since I ate a big salad I didnt have any thing with chicken and that was fine. I drink ice tea during summer and bought green tea bags. I have a ice tea maker and when it brews and goes to the pitcher, it makes about 3 quarts. I just my own sweetener in my sipper and some lemon. Hopefully that this new regimen I am doing which shed some weight. I also go to the gymn about 4 times a week and do the elliptical for 30 minutes and use my exercise ball at home. Wish me luck with my new schedule and keeping on tract.

I told all of this to my doctor, you know what he says: that's the problem, fruit is loaded with sugar. If you are making smoothies every morning with fruit the calories, it's not good idea. I was flabbergasted, never in my wild imagination that I would told that smoothies are not good. He said that fruit are loaded with sugar and is bad when you are trying to lose weight.

Needless to say.....since i don't drive, I have to take a train to my sister. My son lives 5 miles away from me, and he doesn't want to drive to see the family (I don't blame him). I think he has motives....don't you think. I don' really mind the train I have my magazines. The only reason I am going there is for my sister in Cal. I have to put up with all the big mouths and bratty kids running around. I know, you want to call me a b**** lol. I just like my peace and quiet, and walk around with my shorts and t-shirt if i want to. I have to list today.....yes. What to bring....I am going saturday. I have to eat certain things, which....i will pack for the trip. Dry things i can pack; I drink whey protein powder 2 times a day. Every morning i drink that for breakfast and then I have protein bars and other things i have to eat. Question: I should not even consider this, if you were me.....going to family...do you think it's offending to say you have your own things to eat.....and you cant really eat their food....??View Thread

"This is by far, the easiest, and BEST cinnamon rolls I have ever made! I've had several friends tell me that this is the best cinnamon roll they have ever put in their mouth!!!! Wasn't sure that I'd be crazy about the maple flavoring in the icing, so I omitted that and used vanilla instead! I tell everyone where I got the recipe from, and am qui""

UK could lose tax millions as Swiss entice hedge funds - Times Online
The Government could lose hundreds of millions of pounds in revenue as the result of a Swiss campaign to lure hedge fund executives away from London with a promise to halve their tax bills.
Multimillionaire managers are being wooed with offers that enable them to keep their funds in offshore havens and reduce their taxable incomes with official backing.
The argument is that Switzerland combines natural beauty with a stable environment and, in many cases, low taxes. They contrast their "pragmatic approach" with British taxes, which they say have become punitive.
So why wouldn't you relocate? Of all the damages to our economy the stupid kneejerk bashing of the bankers may turn out to be the most damaging done by Brown.
