Caps re-sign Orlov: two years, $4 million
Mar 13, 2014, 11:48 AM EDT
Talk about a dramatic in-season turnaround.
Just months after demanding a trade out of Washington, defenseman Dmitry Orlov has signed a two-year, $4 million extension with the Caps, the club announced on Thursday. The deal will pay $1.75 million next year and $2.25 million the season following.
Orlov, 22, has three goals an nine points in 38 games with the Caps this season, most of which came after his agent expressed frustration about Orlov's role on the team in late November.
"Obviously, what Dmitry would like is to be traded," Mark Gandler told CSN Washington. "Because he has no future in Washington whatsoever, zero chance for him. I think his value as a player is diminishing with every day and the team is losing valuable time and also ruining his career."
Shortly thereafter, Orlov was given a shot in the Washington lineup and showed why the Caps made him the 55th overall pick at the 2009 NHL Entry Draft (and why, as a 20-year-old, he scored 19 points in 60 games for the Caps during the 2011-12 campaign).
With this signing, Washington GM Geoge McPhee now has three good young d-men locked in 'til 2016 with very reasonable cap hits: Orlov ($2 million), Karl Alzner ($2.8 million) and John Carlson ($3.97 million).

Like this deal a lot for the Caps. Dima is showing tremendous potential as a offensive force this season and even though he's not putting up huge point totals, he's actually the Caps best possession defender, ahead of the likes of Mike Green and John Carlson. He's made a few defensive blunders but those are to be expected of a young defender, and he makes up for it with quick breakout passes and nice rushes and offensive plays. Really excited to see what this guy is gonna do for us in the next two years, along with Nate Schmidt and Connor Carrick. Although this season has been horrendous, the future is actually pretty bright for the Caps with a lot of solid prospects waiting to make the jump.

Your comment makes me wonder how many Caps games you've watched this year, if any.
- dglelite - Mar 13, 2014 at 1:15 PM
wethog – Orlov in no way is a top 4 defenseman (at least not right now, but he may eventually). But he is a very good, YOUNG, 3rd line defenseman.
At 2 mil, he is worth it for that 3rd defensive pairing duty.
- lowenni - Mar 13, 2014 at 12:43 PM
What do you mean? It's a stastical fact he's the Caps best possession defender, and he's also made some very nice offensive plays. Bad game against Pittsburgh the other night but he's got a lot of potential. I didn't say he was a fantastic player right now, I said long term this will be a good deal for the Caps.
- lowenni - Mar 13, 2014 at 12:44 PM
Also, I've watched almost all the Caps games.
- wethog66 - Mar 14, 2014 at 7:20 AM
I apologize for my previous post. Was having a bad yesterday and when I came across the Orlov news, and your post, I got fired up and replied.
Orlov is a nice young prospect, but he has been brutal on defense lately. The poster-boy for this very frustrating, and flawed, hockey team.
Sure nice deal, but their is now a huge ? above this kid after this season. He'll there is a huge ? over the entire Capitals organization. So I am not so optimistic about prospects right now. Not while a lot of questions remain unanswered about this team.
- dglelite - Mar 13, 2014 at 12:54 PM
It seems on other sites that the overall feeling on this signing is not particularly positive.
I go the other way…I think this is a very good signing.
Between Carrick, Orlov, Carlson and Alzner you have a good nucleus of a 2,3,4 and 6 defenseman.
Get rid of Green and Erskine via release or trade, keep Hillen as your #7 defenseman and then add a #1 and #5 defenseman in the offseason via trade, free agency and maybe even the draft and the defense will vastly improved.
- lowenni - Mar 13, 2014 at 1:07 PM
#1 defenseman are hard to come by. Carlson has the potential to be one and I think he's gonna be our #1 guy for a while. Two years from now I'd be pretty happy with a top-6 of:
Schmidt-Madison Bowey
Although that would be quite young, so there would probably a veteran or two in there.
- dglelite - Mar 13, 2014 at 1:36 PM
Luckily we will have enough money under the cap to outbid someone and get #1 either via trade or free agency. We have the offense. And with Kuz in the fold potentially even more offense. Defense must be the focus.
We are already roughly $15 mil under the cap for next year (with few roster spots open) and could be another 10-12 mil under if they get rid of Green, Erskine and potentially Laich.
We need an anchor for that defense. Green is absolutely not it and I think Carlson will always be that good #2.
- jpelle82 - Mar 13, 2014 at 2:32 PM
2.8 million for alzner is a steal….he's worth 4.8 easy, he's the most consistent defensive defenseman the caps have had in recent years. carlson wasnt very good last year and alzner was sort of the safety net he fell back on when they were paired up. splitting them ended up helping carlson a lot in my opinion, he was forced to step his defensive game up due to how he had to play differently without alzner there for a little while.

Design Interview
I applied online. The process took a day – interviewed at Monitor Group in February 2010.
I received an e-mail from a recruiter about 2 weeks after submitting my application. We scheduled a time for a phone interview via e-mail. The recruiter asked me to walk her through my whole resume, starting with my education (a challenge since I've been out of school for 10 years!), describing each job I had, my responsibilities, and why I left. Then I was asked why I was interested in that particular position. I asked a few questions about the culture and group I would be working with. I was asked for a salary expectation and unfortunately we were too far apart to proceed further. Seems like a great company and the interviewer was very cordial. All in all the interview probably lasted about 20 minutes.

When Jibbs was 8 years old, all he wanted to do was beat some butts and make some beats.
The son of a musician-turned-boxer, Jibbs (born Jovan Kampbell) had watched his older brothers rack up victories on the amateur-boxing circuit and make hits for a host of rappers in his native St. Louis. But he was always too young to step into the ring or the studio.
"My brothers were into boxing, and my older brother was part of Da Beatstaz, who were making hits for Nelly and Chingy. But I was never allowed to do
" the now-15-year-old MC laughs. "I couldn't wait to get into the ring because I used to watch my brothers do it all the time. Then they would win fights and go out of town, and I had to stay. I would get mad all the time, and I just couldn't wait until I turned 8 so I could go ahead and start fighting."
You may have heard his single ringing from thousands of cell phones — now get a first look at the 15-year-old St. Louis MC, only on Overdrive.
So on his 8th birthday not only did he hit the ring — where he would go on to win two Golden Gloves amateur titles — he also began to attack the rap game, first as a member of St. Louis mini-mites the Little Louies and then as a full-fledged solo artist. And while Jibbs never doubted his own lyrical prowess ("I was just starting out, but I was
" he said), he had a more difficult time convincing his big brother, producer DJ Beats.
"He was producing for everybody in the city, and I was like, 'Man, I could do this. This is what I want to do. I want to rap!' So I used to go to him about it all the time like, 'Let me get into the studio,' and you know he always gonna play the little brother off," Jibbs recalled. "So he kept doing that, he kept being like, 'Aight, I'll get you. I'll listen to you,' and he never ended up listening. So I just did it on my own.
Determined to show up his older brother, Jibbs and a friend got to work writing lyrics. The only problem is that they didn't have a beat to rap over. So they turned to the Internet.
Jibbs Photos
"We used to be on the Internet all the time, searching for beats," Jibbs said. "And eventually, we found one, we jacked it off the Internet. So I recorded my rhymes on this little computer program, all by myself. I wasn't about to wait on nobody, and that's the mentality I had all my life."
The next day, Jibbs dropped the song off at his brother's studio and expected to hear nothing for a few weeks. But something amazing happened: His brother called him back
that afternoon,
telling him to get down to the studio ASAP, because he wanted to re-record the song and get it out on the mixtape circuit.
"It was crazy," Beats said. "You know how good music just grabs you? That's pretty much what happened: It just grabbed me. I called all my partners who produced, all my friends, and I was like, 'Dude, you gotta hear this.' So I made him come back, and I immediately took him in the basement, re-recorded it, and that's how we started working together."

Jibbs spent the next few years making songs and gaining a reputation on the St. Louis circuit, opening for artists like Chris Brown, Bow Wow and Young Jeezy when they came through on tours. And while Jibbs' lyrics were hot, his freestyling ability was even hotter, and soon he became better known for his boxer-like mentality in lyrical battles.
"I was beating cats who were 18, 24 years old, and I wasn't much older than 11," Jibbs said. "I looked at it like a fight: You gotta be in shape for it, otherwise you'll go into that ring, and you'll get knocked out. There's no time for rest. It's always crunch time."
And with a red-hot reputation, Jibbs inked a deal with Geffen Records. He spent his 14th year working on the songs that would make up his debut,
Jibbs Featuring Jibbs
(which is due in October), and when he turned 15, he dropped his first single, the powerballin' "Chain Hang Low," which within a matter of months has racked up more than 30,000 ringtone downloads.
See other You Hear It First Overdrive packages.
But if you think all the hype has gone to Jibbs' head, well, then you obviously haven't been following his story this far. He's viewing his fame as just another opponent in the ring. And he's not looking for a T.K.O.
"I always stay focused," he said. "I don't let nothing get in my way. And I'm looking to knock this fame thing out. Like I say, 'Keep your faith, and don't let nobody tell you that you can't do it.' If somebody tell you that, laugh in their face and go do it even better."

Chuck E. Cheese Creator Opens First uWink Restaurant

T-Mobile Dash Hands On
As smartphones make their way into the mainstream, we're reminded why they were long relegated to the hip holsters of Road Warriors and the hopelessly email-obsessed. Their operating systems, with rare exceptions, were too overpowered for the average consumer, their set-up screens were convoluted, and their price tags were stratospheric when compared to the average clamshell.

PSP Extra Analog Stick Mod

However, the lack of good games weren't the only obstacle for the PSP. The portable console also faced… Read More
Sprint Loophole Allows for Early Exits

These hang so easy. The having to seperate the little twirls takes a few but is worth it for the final look and is necessary to keep the product nice during shipping. They really made our hallways look nice for Joy Prom

I don't really like all the red and green for Christmas time. Everything I buy is blue, silver, so on. These were awesome so i decided to order and I am just as thrilled. They are already hanging in the house since we had our first big snowstorm.

PUPILS from Telford Junior School in Leamington are the latest to benefit from a Barclays money skills session.
During the interactive sessions last week, six Barclays volunteers shared their business knowledge working with 82 pupils from year four at the school. The volunteers delivered activities where the children considered personal spending, saving and the costs of running a home, discussed and explored needs and wants and considered value for money in the context of everyday food items.
Richard Siviter, head teacher at Telford, said: "In the current climate, it is helpful if children have an awareness of the demands on household budgets. The sessions with Barclays gave the children an appreciation of the differences between things families have to pay for, and items that it might be nice to have!"Buy photos» Year 4 pupils line up with Barclays staff at Telford Junior School.

Hopkins attacking McNabb a publicity stunt?
hahahaha I just found out what he said about McNabb. Thats funny as *****. I think it definitely appeals to Eagles fan and now that the whole sports world is talking about it you think he just did it to gain a little bit more exposure and ultimately get more love or hate interest and get more viewers for his upcoming fight?
He definitely knows how to come at a man's neck hahaha. He's the man though, you respect it. He definitely knows how to get into peoples heads haha.

Hopkins along with Cotto is my favorite fighter, but he may be boxing's biggest buffoon. He's still butt hurt that McNabb didn't roll out the red carpet for him when he visited Eagles training camp like 7 years ago.
What's fully shameful that he thinks he's the authority on what makes a black person black. Vick will always be a second rate quarterback in comparison to McNabb, but since he went to jail, he's some how 'blacker' than McNabb. And T.O? That guy is an idiot. If he actually had perhaps 1/100th of McNabb's intelligence and maturity, he would have remained an Eagle and build on that great 2004 season and perhaps brought home a championship or two. Except he decided I guess to be a real ***** and then fade to has-been obscurity out there in Buffalo and Cincinatti.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has made a second trip to China, reports "Bloomberg" (http://tinyurl.com/bk6vgkb). The article says the exec met Miao Wei, head of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, to talk about the development of China's information technology industry, global mobile communications and Apple's business in China.
Cook visited China in March and pledged "greater investment" in the world's largest market for computers and mobile phones. Since then, Apple has almost doubled its number of stores in China and Hong Kong to 11, from six at the time of Cook's last visit.

Special Events
The People's Panel
Mon 30 Mar 2015, 19:00
The Young Foundation presents
The People's Panel
Join us for the culmination of The People's Accelerator: The People's Panel.
An evening hosted by The Young Foundation, Conway Hall Ethical Society, People's Republic and Sunday Assembly's Sanderson Jones. General Secretary of the Cooperative Party, Karin Christiansen, will introduce the pitches by talking about the opportunities that alternative finance models present for social initiatives.
The event is the first of its kind - a live crowdfunding festival supporting six social justice organisations to raise the support they need to grow.
Each one has been taking part in The People's Accelerator at The Young Foundation for the past four months. The organisations are:
The Reasons Why Foundation
STEAM University
InSync Music
Connect Justice
The aim of The People's Panel is to put the growth of important social projects in the hands of the society itself. Each organisation will present their work. They will be working to convince you, the audience, to add your support to their cause – through giving time, money or simply loud cheers of encouragement.
You can view all their crowdfunding pages here.
What is The People's Accelerator?
The People's Accelerator supports campaigners from across the UK to build structured, high-impact and financially robust civil movements which can grow to tackle the root causes of inequality. Alongside Citizens UK and The Centre for Justice Innovation, we recruited six projects with the momentum and commitment to make this happen.
From November 2014 - March 2015 we have supported these groups to develop their ideas, build the capacity of their teams, refine their visions and accelerate their growth through targeted funding and support.
Now it's your turn to help them grow.
Join us from 7 - 9pm to see what our civil movements have started and to join in their journey.
Entry: Free.

London Thinks: How to Topple a Dictator
Wed 8 Apr 2015, 19:30
The Conway Hall Ethical Society presents
London Thinks: How to Topple a Dictator
Tipped for a Nobel Peace Prize and hailed as a world-changer by everyone from the World Economic Forum to Wired magazine, fifteen years ago Srdja Popovic was more interested in punk rock than political protest.
In conversation with Nick Cohen he will explain how he became one of the leaders of Otpor! — the movement which overthrew dictator Slobodan Milosevic — and has since gone on to train the pro-democracy activists behind the Arab Spring, Occupy, and many other movements. Drawing on his new book, Blueprint for Revolution, he will tell the stories of 'ordinary revolutionaries' he has been inspired by along the way, many of whom have created social change by avoiding violence and opting for something far more powerful: a sense of humour.
Tickets: £15 (£5 concessions and Conway Hall Ethical Society members).

Santayana as Social and Cultural Philosopher
Sun 12 Apr 2015, 11:00
Conway Hall Ethical Society presents
Tom Rubens
The Spanish-American philosopher George Santayana (1863-1952) has been an undeservedly neglected figure in British academia for many decades. This neglect is in marked contrast to the considerable attention he received in the first half of the 20th century. Santayana's range as a philosopher is wide, covering ontology, epistemology, ethics, the arts and sciences, religion, political and social issues. Also, his language possesses classic clarity. So, a revival of interest in him is long overdue - as is, indeed, a talk on him to the Conway Hall Ethical Society. His views on the excesses of industrialism and on the perennial need for virtue-politics are among the things which remain highly relevant in today's society. This talk is designed to help bring a great philosopher back to the fore.
Tom Rubens is a semi-retired teacher of English and Philosophy. He has worked as a university and college lecturer, and as a private tutor, and is still active in the latter field. Linked to his teaching work is his writing activity: he has produced eight books on philosophy (seven published so far) and has also published poetry. A novel is due to appear later this year.
He has been a member of Conway Hall Ethical Society since the 1980s, and has been active at Conway Hall in a number of ways: serving a brief period as editor of the Ethical Record: delivering a large number of Sunday morning lectures; and doing archive work on material in the Society's journals from the 1870s onwards.
If you would like to comment on this event please visit our Ethical Record section.
Doors 10.30. Entry £3, £2 concs./free to Ethical Society members.
Tea, coffee & biscuits will be available.
Sun 19 April 2015, 16:00
The Conway Collective presents:
Spiritualists, a rehearsed reading of a new play loosely based on the Rochester Rappers
written by Anne-Sophie Marie
In the years preceding the American Civil War, a young spiritualist medium struggles with her profession, her beliefs and her powers.
Margaret and her two sisters earn a living through séances, passing for the real thing by using various tricks to fool their audience.
When Margaret meets Elisha, an explorer who remains a sceptic, something triggers the kind of experience she usually only pretends to have. As other events unfold, Margaret no longer knows her own mind nor the kind of life she must lead to survive while keeping her integrity.
Tickets: £5

A Boring Conference
Sat 9 May 2015
The Boring Conference presents
Boring V
The Boring Conference is a one-day celebration of the mundane, the ordinary, the obvious and the overlooked – subjects often considered trivial and pointless, but when examined more closely reveal themselves to be deeply fascinating.
It was created in response to the cancellation of the 2010 Interesting Conference. It seemed like the obvious thing to do.
Ticket details will be announced in due course.
Previous speakers have included Jon Ronson, Robin Ince, Josie Long and Adam Curtis. People have talked about sneezing, toast, IBM tills, the sounds made by vending machines, the Shipping Forecast, barcodes, yellow lines, London shop fronts, the television programme Antiques Road Trip and the features of the Yamaha PSR-175 Portatune keyboard.
London Thinks - Buying and Selling Sex: the Big Debate
Wed 13 May 2015, 19:30
London Thinks:
Buying and Selling Sex: the Big Debate
'Sex work' is work. Prostitution is violence against women. These two sentences encapsulate the polarised and often bitter feminist debate over the buying and selling of sex. So what can the two sides agree on?
In this special London Thinks, hosted in association with the New Statesman, we will hear from current sex workers and prostitution survivors about the reality of the sex trade, and take floor contributions from academics, charity workers and other experts. Can selling sex be empowering, or a job like any other -- or should we try to "end demand"? And what does the evidence say is the best way to keep women safe - legalisation, decriminalisation or the "Nordic model" of criminalising punters, but not prostitutes?
Confirmed panellists include:
Margaret Corvid is a writer, activist and professional dominatrix living in the south-west of England. She writes for the New Statesman on sex, power and social change.
Fiona Broadfoot was exploited into prostitution at the age of 15 and exited in 1996 after someone close to her was murdered. She now works for SPACE, an organisation which supports women leaving the industry.
In addition to our panellists, we will also take floor contributions, and we invite audience members to submit testimony which can be read aloud by the chair or delivered anonymously in the hall, from behind a screen. Please, email statements to be read out to firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject line "Conway Hall" and include details of how you would like to be referred to.
The panel will be chaired by Samira Ahmed.
Tickets: £15 (£5 for Ethical Society Members and concessions - unwaged/students/retired).
Complimentary drinks and nibbles will be available on the night (first come, first served).
Discount also available to new members signing up via Eventbrite.
Doors open 19:00.
N.B. This event will be filmed on the night. Only the stage area will be filmed to protect identities of anyone in the audience who does not wish to appear on video. Please be aware that audio from the event will be more difficult to anonymise and we cannot guarantee that audience members will not take their own pictures (on their phones, etc) for personal use.

Veterelli! .44 rim fire. You can convert it to center fire in a few minutes. All the info needed to convert and resize cases is on line. I found a real nice one still in rimfire for $125.00. JP
Freedom is not free. The best of us always leave too soon.
If I must say it:
My father bought me this rifle, 50 some odd years ago at a sporting goods store in downtown Los Angeles for 9.99USD, we took it apart cleaned and sanded the wood and cleaned the bolt and bore, but never fired or even knew what caliber this weapon was. I pulled it out of the gun rack when I read others speak of their Swiss/Verterli and what a cool weapon it is. I am still nervous about firing this old weapon.
thanks for the info, should i have the bolt assembly checked after years of non-use?
Steel does not change over time. I would take the bolt apart and visually inspect and clean it. The Swiss were anal about rifle condition. The round is pretty low pressure.
Plenty of info here ;Swiss Vetterlis
Whenever I shoot an old rifle for the first time, I always hold it out at arms length away from my body and my face. Always check the action first. After you make sure it is not loaded, you should also look down the barrel to check for rust and heavy pitting.
Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

killing weeds in black trash bags
I pulled a bunch of weeds and wasn't very careful when I did and threw in a bunch of a plant that I'm trying to get rid of, but which seems to re-root and grow from any little bit, anywhere. I'd like to save the lot and use it in my own compost, but my pile doesn't get hot (too lazy, I guess) and I don't want to deal with it growing anywhere other than where it is already.
I took the bunch of them and tossed them in a large black trash bag hoping that the heat generated inside when the sun hit it would be enough to kill the plants. Think that;ll do it, or do I need to take a more careful approach (or put the whole lot in the city compost and be more careful next time LOL)?
Another thought I had was spraying everything with vinegar, but it might take a lot of vinegar and be more labor intensive than I'd like....
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
Most "weeds", and their seeds, are not killed by the heat of a compost pile but simply because the compost pile keeps those plant from getting access to the sunlight they need to grow, provided those plants are buried in the compost not just thrown on top. Sometimes those plastic bags work but other times they only provide a really good place for those plants to grow.
so, if it seems like sunlight is the primary issue (which it really may be in this case, as this is a plant people actually pay for -- I can't think of the name, its a succulent that I've seen in plant catalogs -- its just hard for me to get rid of), then perhaps just making this a bottom layer of a lasagna garden bed might even be ok?
That's the other problem with my pile -- its hopefully not going to be a big ol pile much longer, but part of a lasagna garden bed....
I did something similar as the poster of this thread - threw chunks of sod riddled with Wild Violet into black trash bags thinking that after a few weeks they would be dead and I could re-claim the soil. This material has been laying in closed (thought not tightly sealed trash bags)since March. When I open them up and dig through the sod I still see viable Wild Violet shoots though everything else is dead. We haven't had many hot days yet though. Because these trash bags are kind of an eyesore I wonder if there is anything I can do to speed the destruction of these plants/weeds. I would like to save the soil they are in - otherwise I would discard it somewhere out in the woods. Would it be faster to move the bags inside of my garage with dim light? I guess the question is whether plants die faster due to excess heat (but some minimal light penetrating the bag) or due to a lack of light (but less heat). Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks to 6_5swedeforelk for the great original post. Get those wolves.
I was out today, no luck. I did find where a pack was trailing a moose for a long way. The moose turned and stood his ground several times where s/he had a mountainside or sharp drop-off to protect his back. I never got to the end of the tracks so don't know how it turned out. Never saw any wolves, either.
I thought some members who don't live in timber wolf country might like to see what a track looks like. This one's a day or a day-and-half old and we had warmish days so the the edges are pretty dull, but you'll get the drift. That's a .25-06 round for perspective.

I have honestly never hunted any game that can and will hunt me. The saying, "The thrill is in the hunt" should really apply here... Great post OP!
Thanks to Admin for removing Tapatalk screens, I can again post to this forum!
A few items in the continuing wolf control may be entertaining:
Here's a story told in fresh snow...
I had set an offset jaw wolf trap on their trail that paralled this small creek. I came from the left on skidoo checking my sets when I saw just a flash of fur (see tracks in deep snow).
The wolf ran away from me directly toward my red flagging tape. He then spooked back toward my general direction and right into my set!
I pulled up seconds later and as you can see, he seems to be examining the trap, not jumping or fighting. The offset jaws are a good change as they do not crush the bones.
edit: picture never posted, retry.
picture please
Rick you sound like a dues paying "Green". Wolf attacks are very common in the West and Alaska. Most are not reported it is shoot, shovel and shut up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wolf_attacks
There have been humans attacked and killed by wolves. The "Media" is not reporting it the way they should.
Wolves do not go in for the quick kill. They go for the guts and animals are eaten alive.

Word: Double Spacing
By default, MS Word documents are single-spaced, which is great for most of what we do. But, what about that small percentage of documents where you need things double-spaced?
Now, as I've said before, I'm a teacher. I have a lot of opportunities to see how people (both students and staff) are using their technology. I'm always amazed when I find someone using the enter key to… Continue reading

Attention homebrewers around Rockville, MD: get free bottles from the Baying Hound Brewery!http://bayinghoundales.com/what-do-w...empty-bottles/
Hey hey!
What's the latest I could come by on Thursday or Saturday to do a pick-up?
It'd be amazing to find some flip top style bottles, but this is my first home brew anyways so of course I'll take whatever I can get.
Thanks for the service!
StellarCommando - i am not affiliated with Baying Hound. see the link in my original post for more info about their bottles. call/e-mail them directly if you need more info.
i, coincidentally, happen to have about 30 bombers and 30+ regular bottles that i'm planning on putting in the recycling tonight. you are welcome to them if you can pick up tonight. they absolutely need to go tomorrow as i need the space they are occupying (doing some construction this weekend) - so i can't hold them for you. send me a PM if you want to snag them tonight.
BTW, i wouldn't get my hopes up about flip-top bottles... people rarely give those away.

Letters to the Editor
LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Film at The Clyde was awesome
Editor, On a rainy Saturday, March 21, some 200 people filled The Clyde Theatre in Langley to see a 1914 silent film entitled "In the Land of the Head Hunters." This incredible film, created by Edward S. Curtis, was released in 1914 to rave reviews in Seattle and New York, but soon disappeared and was actually rescued from a dumpster in 1947.
Community Events, March 2015
Whidbey Island Nourishes supporters deserve thanks
Editor, On Feb. 14, Whidbey Island Nourishes (WIN) held its annual fundraiser dinner, Heart to Heart, at the Useless Bay Coffee Company in Langley. Our heartfelt gratitude goes to Des Rock, his assistant, Dan Fulton, and the staff at the Useless Bay Coffee Co. for hosting our Heart to Heart fundraiser, supplying the food and preparing a delicious gourmet dinner for WIN's Valentine's Day celebration.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Langley should post meeting date soon
Editor, Langley government has a nice website that they have obviously put some work into. Front and center is a calendar of government events. On April 14 there is a notice for a Langley Historic Preservation Commission meeting. Curiously, the big public meeting that will happen that day, the funicular meeting, isn't listed, though the date has been known at least since it was announced on March 4 at the Langley Planning Advisory Board meeting.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Langley needs an ethics committee
Editor, Langley is in desperate need of an ethics committee. Most know of former Mayor Larry Kwarsick who falsified a document and intended to continue as mayor. Council members wanted him to remain in office dismissing the malfeasance (Dec. 18, 2012 council meeting minutes). Perhaps they agreed with the late Paul Schell who was quoted by Seattle Times columnist Danny Westneat as saying to the blogger who discovered the falsification, "Shame on you … for starting this. You should stay in your new California home and let us alone" (Seattle Times, Dec. 22, 2012).
LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Let's get prepared for a possible Whidbey tsunami
Editor, Several times now I have gone back to my computer and watched videos of the tsunami disaster in Japan and thought about how vulnerable we are here on Whidbey Island for the same thing to happen. I also wonder how many people are prepared for such a disaster. It has been estimated that even a minor ocean-born tsunami that races in through the Strait of Juan de Fuca will take out the highway and power lines in several places, leaving South Whidbey stranded without power for several weeks.

We have to start correcting Ann's and others revisionist history. In the 2012 election it was the Libertarian Ron Paul who proposed a budget cutting $1 trillion in the first year. The Libertarian proposed cutting 5 federal agencies. The Libertarian wanted to end the fed's money printing. It was the Libertarian who voted against raising the debt ceiling everytime. It was that ass kisser Rick Santorum who voted to raise the debt ceiling 5 times to appease the liberals. It was the Rominee who acted like a pussy when he wouldn't detail his plan and outline his "spending cuts". The social issues are all tied into one package of freedom Ann. The Libertarian Republican Ron Paul ran on liberty across the board from big government. The establishment Republicans ran on running big government more efficiently.
