$1.3 million investment brings world's fastest wireless technology to communities
Vancouver, B.C. – TELUS has invested $1.3 million to bring the world's most advanced and fastest wireless technology to Comox, Courtenay and Campbell River.
With this expansion, TELUS now offers 4G LTE on Vancouver Island from Victoria through to Campbell River. Additional B.C. communities will be getting access to 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) in the coming months, as TELUS brings the technology to nearly 90 per cent of the province's population by the end of 2012.
"We are committed to offering you the best customer experience. A key part of that promise is bringing our 4G LTE service to Comox, Courtenay, Campbell River and numerous other B.C. communities," said Ray Lawson, TELUS general manager for Vancouver Island. "With an LTE device our customers can enjoy the fastest wireless technology available in the world today – we are continuing to expand this new technology, community by community, so that by the end of the year nearly 90 per cent of B.C. residents are expected to have access. It's an ambitious undertaking."
LTE is rapidly emerging as the new standard for wireless technology in the world, with most new handsets built to take advantage of its superior speed. TELUS customers can already experience the full capabilities of TELUS' 4G LTE network with the popular Samsung Galaxy S III, HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy Note, Huawei E397 4G LTE Mobile Internet Key and Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE. The LG Optimus G, Samsung Galaxy Note II and HTC One X+ will also be joining the TELUS LTE device lineup this fall. Consistent with TELUS' clear and simple pricing approach, current rate plans will apply to all TELUS 4G LTE customers without premium charges.
The launch of TELUS' 4G LTE network complements Optik on the go, an innovative new service that allows TELUS Optik TV customers to view a selection of TV On Demand shows and movies on their mobile devices, tablets and laptops – at home, in coffee shops, at airports and on the move. Optik on the go offers TV On Demand shows and movies from 11 channels including Super Channel, Hollywood Suite, YTV, ABC Spark, Family Channel and Disney Jr. The content library will continue to grow throughout 2012 and beyond as new shows and movies are added.
TELUS' 4G LTE network supports manufacturers' rated peak download speeds of up to 75 megabits per second (Mbps), with an expected average of 12 to 25 Mbps. TELUS customers will experience dramatically faster downloads when surfing the web, reading emails, getting the latest chart topping music, or watching TELUS Optik on the go when using TELUS' 4G LTE services. Downloading a 600 megabyte album of songs with a 4G LTE-capable device will take just 3.5 to 7 minutes and a 1.2GB HD movie from iTunes will take between 7 and 14 minutes. Importantly, if TELUS customers travel outside of 4G LTE network coverage areas, they will move seamlessly from 4G LTE to the existing 4G HSPA network with no disruption of service.
LTE is the latest evolution in TELUS' wireless network technology plan made possible by the 2009 launch of its coast-to-coast 4G HSPA wireless network service. Today this network reaches more than 97 per cent of Canadians. TELUS' $1.3 million investment is largely in addition to the $129 million commitment we've made to bringing new technology to Vancouver Island in 2012. Since 2000, TELUS has invested more than $30 billion to bring Canadians some of the most advanced wireless and wireline broadband networks in the world.

Bonnell: someone trying to make Lance Stephenson more money is dropping to national writers that Hornets are interested. It's not true.— David Glenn Show (@DavidGlennShow) July 14, 2014
Bonnell is the beat writer for the hornets.
Lance is desperate
Why so SERIOUS
An even more desperate person is Lance's agent, pretty sue he will be fired after negotiations are over.
Why so SERIOUS
I don't know who's right, not familiar with Bonnell other than knowing he's their beat guy, but Charlotte fans basically think he's a jackwagon and had that opinion before the Lance stuff. I'm jus'sayin.
Lol, yeah Pacers have completely owned this standoff so far.
Yeah, I'd like to believe Bonnell, but CHA still has a ton of cap space and no obvious place to spend it. Unlike Houston, I don't think Charlotte will be content to roll over their cap space until a better opportunity comes.
So I'm not breathing easy yet, but hopefully the Hornets go use up their cap space on other players.
they'd be smart to put in a good sized bid on Boozer when he's amnestied, which would eat up a chunk of that cap space
"I'll always be a part of Donnie Walsh."
-Ron Artest, Denver Post, 12.28.05
Charlotte fans have a much, much lower collective opinion of Bonnell than Pacers fans had of Wells.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
can listen to that here, starts with Lance around the 10:30 mark
Either way, I think Bird had an idea of what most teams would go to for Lance when he made that offer. My opinion is Bird has felt that he has the best offer from July 1 and since he knows it he's not stressing too hard.
Teams may have seen the Lance offer and said, welp we were going to offer him 4/32 to 4/36 and decided that wouldn't move the dial. That's my guess.
I think a lot of teams wanted Lance, but I think they wanted him at THEIR price. Lance is not the guy you want to overpay for, Lance is the guy you want to steal at a good price. So Dallas, Chicago, Charlotte, Lakers, Heat whoever, they were hoping they'd get to rob the back on Lance's deal. Unfortunately for them, they got to the vault and Bird was already there packing up the money. Basically Larry knew Lance's market when he made that offer.

Charlotte is the team I'm thinking might get Boozer if he's amnestied. That would spend some of their cash.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
Kind of wish it would already be over with, this stalemate is getting boring :/
Just saw Lance Stephenson in the airport😳 pic.twitter.com/DOWq1seXvw— Matteo Whelton (@Matteo_Whelton) July 14, 2014
Which airport?
NYC. So it's probably meaningless.
They're looking at Williams as a 3 too (but mainly a stretch 4 I think). And I don't know that Vonleh is ready to contribute. I think Jordan may see Boozer as an amnesty bargain. And as a trade chip to a contender needing a vet PF. He'll be on a reasonable 1 year salary which should make him a trade asset.
asked him on my Roi Hubert account haha
@RoiHubert JFK in New York— Matteo Whelton (@Matteo_Whelton) July 14, 2014
he looks like he's crying, weird...
Oh well he's been there for a while. If he saw him getting on a plane then it might matter.
maybe he's coming to Indy?
lol he looks like he's been crying. He probably just got off the phone with his agent.
or just saw himself in a mirror. Lance's wardrobe cracks me up.

Students from Across New York State Will Convene in Cooperstown for the Annual New York State History Day Competition
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y., April 12, 2007—On Friday, April 27, the New York State Historical Association and The Farmers' Museum will host over 400 middle and high school students and their families from across New York State for the annual New York State History Day competition.
Judging of all entries begins at 9:00 a.m. and runs until early afternoon. Students will present their projects at various locations around Cooperstown, including Fenimore Art Museum, The Farmers' Museum, National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, and The Otesaga Hotel. Nearly one hundred community members, consisting of historians and educators, will serve as judges for the event. The day's events culminate in an awards ceremony at the Cooperstown High School at 5:00 pm.
The state contest, sponsored by the New York State Historical Association, is a yearlong history education program that challenges students in grades 6-12 to produce exceptional scholarship on topics in history related to an annual theme. This year's theme is "Triumph & Tragedy in History," and students from 11 regions around New York State will present their final projects in the form of dramatic performances, imaginative exhibits, multimedia documentaries, interactive web sites and scholarly research papers to a panel of judges. Students placing first and second in their categories will be eligible to compete at National History Day in College Park, Maryland, in June.
This year's entries range from world history topics, such as the Holocaust and Julius Caesar, to local New York State subjects including the Willowbrook State School on Staten Island and the Canandaigua Treaty. Although projects vary in their focus on local, state, national, and international history, all student entries address how their topic can be viewed as a both a triumph and tragedy in history. A high school senior from Albion, NY, investigated the role of the media during the Vietnam War by interviewing media personalities and veterans for her individual documentary, "Triumphs and Tragedies: The Media During the Vietnam War." Two eighth graders from Brooklyn examined the daily life of female Irish immigrants in the nineteenth century and present their final analysis in the dramatic performance, "Ireland's Daughters as Domestic Servants: The Bridge Between the Tragedy of the Famine and the Triumph of Success in America." In their group exhibit, "Bridges of Wishes," two high school students from Clifton Park, NY, address the triumphs and tragedies Ruby Bridges faced when she became the first black child to attend an all-white school in the mid-20th century American south.
Community members are welcome to view the performance, documentary, and exhibition categories, held at designated sites. A schedule with locations and times will be available in the Main Barn at the Registration and Information Desk in The Farmers' Museum on Thursday and Friday, April 26 and 27.
For more information on New York State History Day, e-mail the State Coordinator at email@example.com, or visit the New York State History Day web site at www.nyshistoryday.org.
New York State History Day is sponsored by the New York State Historical Association. Major funding for the program, made possible by the generous support of Senator James L. Seward, is provided through the New York State Education Department.

About National History Day
National History Day (NHD) is a nationally acclaimed, yearlong history education program that annually challenges over half a million students and thousands of teachers to ask questions that uncover life-changing answers. On April 11, 1974, National History Day was launched when 129 students from the Cleveland, Ohio area attended a history competition on the campus of Case Western Reserve University.
The revolutionary program was designed to reform and invigorate the teaching and learning of history at the elementary and secondary levels. With initial support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, National History Day soon became a staple of history education in classrooms throughout the United States. Today, National History Day serves as the model for history and civics education reform. For more information on National History Day, please visit www.nationalhistoryday.org

What a view! On the northern outskirts of Kingaroy, the elevated locality of Booie or the Booie Range, as it's known, is fast gaining a reputation as a tourist must-do thanks to wineries, cellar doors, restaurants and boutique accommodation. The Range offers majestic panoramic views spanning hundreds of kilometres - north-east beyond Bjelke-Petersen Dam toward Gympie; looking east toward Amamoor, Kandanga and Coolum; and north toward Kenilworth. As a vantage point some 600 metres above sea level, there are very few places that offer similar clarity and vastness to produce such breathtaking views.

©1998 Lawrence S. Ritter; (P)1998 Neal McCabe, Henry W. Thomas, and Lawrence S. Ritter; Original Interviews ©1961-65 National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum Inc. and the University of Notre Dame Library Recording
"Almost perfect...vivid, gentle, and humorous." (The New Yorker)
"A Game Winning, Grand Slam!!!"
This is by far the most impressive Baseball audio book that I have ever listened to. The words came to life and transported me back to a time when Baseball was such a huge part of the American life.
I have owned the book for many years and have long considered it one of the BEST. This is the story of a guy who went around in the 60's and made tape recorded interviews with the old ballplayers of 1900s to the 1920s. The Audible book is not narrated by a dramatic actor, but is the original recordings of those old ballplayers. They say what Babe Ruth was like when he first came up, talk about Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner and Walter Johnson. Probalby the best book in the audible library!
This has to be one of the top two audio books that I have ever had the joy of listening to! (The other was Reagan in His Own Words.) If you love baseball and its rich traditions and history, you will love this audio book, guaranteed! It was so interesting just to listen to these men talk about their day in the sun. There were certain players that all of them talked about like Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, and Christie Mathewson. I came away with a lot more respect for these men and their brothers who played in the early 20th century. Another key point that comes across is how these men played for the pure enjoyment of the game and not the money as they do now. They didn't sit out a game even after getting what we would now call a serious injury. I don't see how the written book could even compare to the audio, because you can just hear the joy and enthusiasm that eminates from these guys even after 40 years! (This was recorded around 1964.)
My only regret is that the author couldn't find more players to interview for his book. Some of the men died within a year after his interview with them.
Buy it and enjoy it!
"hear the ballpayers"
I read "The Glory of Their Times" a few years ago and enjoyed it considerably. I decided to revisit the book through Audible and got a big surprise: the audio book is a collection of the original interviews recorded by author Lawrence Ritter. This audio book doesn't just give you a narrator reading the stories that baseball players told Ritter. You hear the original players talking. Some of the recordings are a little murky. Most were recorded well over 40 years ago. But it's an absolute delight to hear the voices of the players (who played during the '10s, '20s, and '30s). I give this audio book my highest recommendation. Even if you've already read "Glory of Their Times" (maybe especially if you've already read it) you'll want to listen to this superb collection of interviews.
"The Joy of Baseball"
Every fan of baseball writing is familiar with this book as it is often cited as the best book written about the game. I hesitated to download it as an audio file because it is abridged. I would have made a huge mistake not to get this audio book simply because it is abridged. It is a treasure to hear the voices of the men who established the game tell their stories.
"tales from a different era"
Again and again...what a treat it was to hear stories of early 20th century baseball directly from the men who played the game
I read the book as a boy, but to hear the players tell their story brought the book to life.
just to hear so many say,
No... I chose to listen to one player tell their story, have it rattle in my brain for a while before moving on to the next...
I was not around to see these men play baseball... This was the next best thing...
"Amazing stories"
As a lifelong fan of the game I just recently watched Ken Burns' documentary on Baseball and wanted to go a little more in depth into the early days of baseball. This book was exactly what I bargained for. I loved listening to the passion in the mens' voices as they talked about the game. I couldn't get enough of it. I'm already listening to it a second time!
"Awesome Audible Book!"
This was an Awesome Audible Book! I love the way the antique sounding piano set the mood for the interviews.
"The Greatest Baseball Audiobook Imaginable"
I stumbled on this title while searching for biographies of 19th and early 20th century ballplayers. What a gem! This is not only one of the greatest treasures for any baseball fan (particularly those interested in the games formative years, when titans like Ty Cobb, Christy Matthewson, Walter Johnson, Joe Jackson, and the Babe were playing), but this is a treasure of American history. Lawrence S. Ritter took his tape recorder and visited some of the oldest living ballplayers in the 1960s. The result is pure magic for the baseball fan. Imagine spending an afternoon sitting and sipping iced tea, listening to first-hand accounts of Ty Cobb's tirades, the sound of Walter Johnson's fastball as it buzzes by, the antics of Hal Chase, tales of John McGraw, and more. That's what listening to this book is like--It feels as if you're sitting at the feet of a baseball legend, listening to their stories of the legendary days of baseball. It is a collection of recordings of actual players in their twilight years, not dry, third person historical reportage.
Some of the audio from this book is included in Ken Burns' majestic documentary "Baseball". If you even have a passing interest in the game and a desire to know more about the people who made it America's Pastime, this audiobook is not to be missed.

Children's Health
Bored toddler
My 2 and a half year old son is always bored. He is very intelligent for his age. He can count from 1 - 30 and backwards. He knows all the alphabets and he even can show most of the countries in the map. He also can spell some words to an extend.He understands everything very quickly. He is multilingual and can count the numbers in 3 different language (thanks to diego and other progarms that he watches on TV)
But we feel that he is always bored if he doesn`t have a book or a pen around him. He never likes to run around and play. He sucks his finger most of the time. He has no real interests other than reading books and coloring with crayons.. I am at a loss with how to encourage and motivate him to play with other kids at the park. He is very sensitive too. I am a sit at home mom and he is with me all the time. If i do some work of my own he comes to me and sits on my lap sucking his finger. Because of this I feel guilty all the time. Can you tell me what to do to encourage him to play and mingle with other kids and have some iterest in other things apart from reading and drawing. We are planning to send him to a preschool once he turns 3. But I am worried about him because he wants somebody to sit with him all the time or he wont play. Please advice on how to handle this or if this is perfectly normal situation and just let it go. I love him so dearly and as a mother I keep worrying about him so much because I dont want my poor son to be left alone when he goes to school. Thanks!
It sounds as though you likely are the proud mother of a gifted toddler! Gifted young children are often advanced in language, reading, and counting skills. However, gifted young children are often not as equally advanced in their social skills or gross motor skills as they are in reading and language. So it is really a challenge for parents to walk the tightrope of nurturing and supporting their child's advancement in selected skill areas while remembering his or her child may not be equally advanced in all areas. Often young gifted children find the company of older children more interesting than that of peers the same age. They also benefit from parents' efforts to enrich experiences to appeal to their unique level of ability, e.g. helping to plan a vacation or museum excursion.
Parents of gifted children often find it helpful to read books about the unique trials and tribulations many gifted children experience in typical preschools and schools and with social relationships with their age-matched peers. A potentially helpful book is James Alvino's "Parents' Guide to Raising a Gifted Toddler: Recognizing and Developing the Potential of Your Child from Birth to Five Years" and James Delisle's "Parenting Gifted Kids: Tips for Raising Happy and Successful Children." Books available at teacher supply stores such as the Lakeshore Learning Store(http://www.lakeshorelearning.com/home/home.jsp) offer helpful ideas for gaining your child's interest and engagement in more active pursuits.
I don't think you need to worry about your child in general as long as you offer him the love and nurturance he needs and avoid pushing him too hard and too fast for where he is as a total child. Enjoy your talented son! I hope these prove helpful suggestions.

Well we finally got the kind of rally I'd been looking for -- one that didn't die midday. If I had to complain about one factor, it would be that the Russell 2000 lagged in a big way. You see, when something is so obviously failing to confirm the larger move in the market, too many folks tend to notice it. As longtime readers know, I prefer that old adage, "If it looks great, it's too late" -- and we did not have that with the Russell lag.
Thursday was also the first time the Russell has underperformed the S&P 500 since late December. We'll have to see if there is any follow-through here -- but, as you can see, when the ratio ticks up from this area, the S&P tends to be closer to a high than to a low. I had thought the ratio would get under 1.65 on this move, and it has only reached 1.66 so far.
Now let's look at the number of stocks making new highs. Last Wednesday, the first day of the new year, there were 454 new highs, fewer than the 495 we saw in September. Thursday saw just around 300. That is very disappointing, and it is a negative divergence. Even if stocks are able to rally some more in the next few days, I don't believe we'll see the additional 200 stocks at new highs that would be needed to beat out this previous peak reading.
I won't go through all the charts I showed here Thursday, but suffice it to say the 30-day moving average of the advance-decline line is still reading as overbought, and it's now at a lower high. The Volume Indicator is in the same situation, as well, and the moving average of the ISE call-put ratio is rolling over.
Turning to the put-call ratio, on Thursday this number was its lowest level since Dec. 17, when we saw a short-term high in the market. But it was the 70% reading on the index put-call ratio that caught my eye. That was the third consecutive day under 100%, and the lowest level since just after the Thanksgiving-week rally.
On a shorter-term basis, on Thursday I also said I expected the Oscillator would be overbought early next week -- and that is still the case. Now we also have the Nasdaq Momentum Indicator showing an upcoming overbought reading. In situations like these, I implement a "what-if" exercise in order to see what it would take to turn down the indicator, and in this case I've plugged in up days for the Nasdaq for the next eight sessions. You can see the Momentum Indicator is set to peak Friday.
In sum, based on these indicators, I am looking for the market to pull back next week.

For years many musicians, producers and music fans have been crying foul about the "Loudness War". This is when a mastering engineer compresses and limits the dynamic range of a song to make it louder to the point of ruining the music. Many times it's not the engineer's fault as he or she is just following directions from the label or the band. It makes some sense you would want your album to be louder than others as it would stand out but when everyone is doing it the end effect is music is simply ruined.
Things have finally boiled over with the release of the new Metallica album Death Magnetic. Apparently it sounds so squashed that even their metal head fans can't stand it. To add fuel to the fire a version of some of the album tracks appear mastered more tastefully in the newly released Guitar Hero 3 (video game).
"Music released today typically has a dynamic range only a fourth to an eighth as wide as that of the 1990s. That means if you play a newly released CD right after one that's 15 years old, leaving the volume knob untouched, the new one is likely to sound four to eight times as loud. Many who've followed the controversy say "Death Magnetic" has one of the narrowest dynamic ranges ever on an album." – wsj.com
I'm pleased this is getting attention because I personally can't stand the smashed sound. It's fine when it's part of the artistic endeavor (such as any song by Justice) but other than that I find it seriously unpleasant.

Appel among Astros prospects set for Fall League
HOUSTON -- Former No. 1 overall Draft pick Mark Appel, fellow right-handed pitcher Vincent Velasquez and third baseman Rio Ruiz headline the Astros' contingent of prospects who will play in the Arizona Fall League this year. The rosters were unveiled Tuesday.
Joining Appel, Velasquez and Ruiz on the Salt River Rafters team are left-hander Mitch Lambson, right-hander Tyson Perez, catcher Tyler Heineman, infielder Joe Sclafani and outfielder Andrew Aplin. Sclafani is a member of the taxi squad, which means he's activated on only Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Appel is ranked by MLB.com as the team's No. 2 prospect, and he's No. 44 on the list of the game's Top 100 Prospects. Velasquez (eighth), Ruiz (ninth) are also ranked in the Top 20.
"We've got some of our top prospects that need some innings, and what better place to send them to Arizona to showcase their skill set while they continue to develop their talents," farm director Quinton McCracken said.
Appel, who missed all of Spring Training and the early part of 2014 while recovering from an appendectomy, struggled at Class A Lancaster (2-5, 9.74 ERA) before being moved up a month ago to Double-A Corpus Christi, where he's pitched better by going 1-2 with a 3.15 ERA in six starts.
On Tuesday night, Appel struck out 10 batters in eight-plus scoreless innings to lead Corpus Christi to a 1-0 victory against Frisco. He pitched into the ninth inning for the first time in his professional career.
"He has some innings left in him and we just want to see him pick up extra innings so he keeps that level of innings pitched on the year and continue his development as far as keeping the ball down in the zone and throwing strikes and continue with the momentum he's had in Double-A Corpus for us," McCracken said.
Ruiz, a fourth-round pick in 2012, was hitting .297 with a .389 on-base percentage, 11 homers and 73 RBIs for Lancaster. Velasquez, a second-round pick in 2010, is 7-2 with a 2.29 ERA in 13 games for Lancaster, allowing 31 hits, 19 walks and striking out 65 in 51 innings.
The Rafters, who will play home games at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale, include prospects from the Astros, D-backs, Marlins, Rockies and Twins. The six-team league, which is owned by Major League Baseball, begins play on Oct. 7.

Aggressive baserunning creating havoc, runs
ANAHEIM -- The Angels have been burning the basepaths this season and, on occasion, themselves.
Despite ranking second in the American League with 4.86 runs per game, the Angels lead the AL with 40 outs on bases. They have been called out at second 14 times (first in the AL), third 14 times (first) and home nine times.
"It's cyclical," manager Mike Scioscia said. "Overall, I love our baserunning. First six to eight weeks, we were running at an incredible pace. There have been some outs we've run into."
Albert Pujols leads the Angels with seven outs on the bases, while Erick Aybar and Josh Hamilton each have five. Mike Trout has three.
But the aggressive baserunning has not been all bad for the Angels. They are second in the AL in extra bases taken percentage, a figure that measures how often a baserunner went more than one base on singles and more than two bases on doubles. The Angels have done so 47 percent of the time.
The Angels lead the AL in number of times a runner has gone first to third on a single (60) and number of times a runner has scored from second on a single (65).
"At times, you're running to try to force some action, and we've run into some outs, but it still has the purpose of what we're trying to accomplish," Scioscia said. "I think we've created a lot more offense with our baserunning, and that's important."
The risky baserunning has not translated to stolen bases, though, as the Angels have only swiped 51 bases, just above the league average (48). Trout, who stole 82 bases the past two seasons, has just 10 this season.

" Brand: Tesco / Type: Crisps "
When I was a little trimmer than I am now these were my favourite weekly treat. These days as I'm trying to cut a bit of weight I have them rarely.
However, when I do have them I like to sit with a big bag of them and just munch my way through whilst watching a favourite TV programme - and truth be told I do share them with my husband, because I am generous :P.
Okay so the packaging has changed from the photograph on here. It is a shiny, metallic pink colour; the pink to denote the colour of bacon and the metallic/foil packaging to promote the idea of freshness I suspect. The text on the crisps is a little more 'grown up', too. Although the image of the rasher crisps still remain on the front.
In one big bag the weight is 150g. Here comes the part that makes it interesting. In a 100g serving you can expect to be hit with 24.2g fat, 7.5g saturated fat, 3.7g sugar and a whopping 4.0g of salt. Calories that tally up? 468kCal, which I find to be decent.
However the salt content is huge. The RDA by the government currently sits at 6g of salt a day. Have a bag of these and you're nearly complete on your RDA of salt. You can really taste the saltiness coming through in the crisps and like I said, this is a very occasional treat for me; at holiday periods or when I've been sick and can't keep much down these strangely work a treat.
The crisps themselves resemble a streak of bacon; two red strips down a yellow/tan coloured 'rasher' and they have a bacon flavour to them. The flavour is great, very strong but not overpowering. The crisps are made from maize and cooked in healthier oils although I'm sure this is a distraction from the insane amounts of salt contained. On top of this you have to consider that the amounts of saturated fat are massive.
They have a crispy, almost flaky texture and are crunchy when you bite down.
The crisps taste great but I would never serve them up at a kid's party and would never go back to eating them every week; an occasional treat works out just fine for me as I can't stand the fact that they have a massive salt content! I'm giving this product three stars based on the salt content. I would award it two more stars if they had a reduced salt version of this snack.
Me and hubby usually treat ourselves to a nice big bag of sharing crisps on a Saturday night and this week we went back to our old favourite as they always taste great and manage to hit the hunger spot. We chose the Bacon Rashers from Tesco as we like the versions you can buy in the pubs but these are a lot cheaper.
The crisps come in a purple bag which has a pattern formed out of a single bacon rasher crisp all over it. There is the product name and Tesco logo on the front in a silver rectangle. The back of the bag contains all of the product information and the nutritional ingredients for the crisps.
The packet is made from foil so is very easy to open but unfortunately it is not recyclable.
The bacon rasher crisps do have a funny look. They are rectangle in shape and measure about 4cm by 2cm and are about 3mm thick. They are a golden colour and have purple stripes on them, I think they are trying to resemble streaky bacon rashers. The crisps are a good size for small children to eat as they are able to pick and hold them independently which encourages them with their eating.
There is a pleasant smell from the crisps which is apparent when the packet has been opened and it does smell faintly of bacon and maize. When it comes to taste these are very good. They do remind me of smoky bacon crisps, they are not exactly like the taste of a normal bacon rasher but they are not far off. They are very easy to eat and are quite light, there is a good crunch to the crisps but they are not overly hard. Once I have eaten a few of the crisps I do get left with a lovely taste n my mouth which is great, it is easily removed if you don't like the aftertaste by having a small drink.
I do find that when eating the crisps it is easier to tip them into a dish as to reduce the noise as the packet is very noisy and this is off putting when trying to watch a film. I do also get a light covering on my fingers from the crisps but this is easy to lick or wipe off, they are not greasy so you don't have to worry about greasy fingers. The crisps do create a few crumbs if not eaten carefully but there are only a few of them and they are not as messy as others, say Wotsits or skips.
One downside to the crisps for me is that I do tend to get they stuck in my teeth which is a pain at times. Personally I think this s more for me as I do like to suck the crisps to make them a little softer to bite and also to make sure I get the maximum flavour out of them.
I would say that if you do not intend to eat the crisps within a few hours then they are best kept in the packet rather than in a dish or bowl as they do start to go soft quite quickly. I do like the soft ones as they are easier to bite but a lot will not.
The crisps come in a good sized bag which is 150g, this means if you are feeling generous they make a great share bag. I would personally struggle to eat a whole bag all by myself. The crisps must be stored in an air tight container once opened to help keep them fresh.
There are some allergy warnings on the crisp packet which include the fact that these crisps contain wheat and gluten and although the recipe is nut free Tesco cannot guarantee that these have been made in a nut free environment. They are also suitable for vegetarians.
The ingredients for the bacon rasher crisps are:-
Maize, rice flour, sunflower oil, dried potato, bacon flavour seasoning, salt, sugar, colour (beetroot red), Emulsifier (Mono- and di-glycerides of Fatty acids), preservative (sodium met bisulphite)
Bacon flavour seasoning contains:- wheat flour, yeast extract, salt, sugar, dextrose, onion powder, flavouring, vegetable oil, colour (paprika extract)
The nutritional values for 100g of the crisps are:-
Energy - 510kcal
Protein - 6.6g
Carbohydrate - 59.0g
Of which sugars - 59.0g
Fat - 27.4g
Of which saturates - 1.9g
Mono-saturates - 21.9g
Polyunsaturated - 2.6g
Fibre - 1.9g
Sodium - 0.9g
Salt equivalent - 2.2g
As you can see they are high on the calorie and fat side but as an occasional treat that is being shared they will be OK.
As these are a Tesco own branded snack then they are only available in Tesco stores, they are priced at just under £1 per packet which I feel is good value for money. Other supermarkets do their own versions but I have no idea on how they rate against these ones.
Yes I do recommend these bacon rasher crisps as they have a great taste, they are a good size crisp and are great for sharing. For the price you really cannot go wring with giving these a try. A full 5 stars.
We first had these over Xmas and they're so nice that we've brought them loads of times since then. They are Tescos version of Frazzles and cost 85p for a 150g bag, I don't think you can buy them in bigger bags and that's a shame because they're yummy and it would be wicked to be able to put them in packed lunches and stuff like that.
They are maize and rice snacks and have got a nice soft texture that melts in your mouth. They're a lot more puffed than Frazzles and start melting quicker too. They have been made to look like rashers of bacon with pink lines on them like frazzles, they don't look as good as Frazzles I don't think and deffo look cheaper.
The crisps have got a wicked flavour though, they taste strong of bacon and have got a lovely salty flavour that gives them a proper nice smokey flavour. The taste lingers for ages in my mouth and they've haven't got much of a greasy taste, you can sort of taste a bit of oil in them when they first start disolving in your mouth but it's not a bad taste and just makes them taste even more like bacon I reckon! lol
Anyway not everyone can taste this greasy taste, I can but no-one else in the house can so I reckon I must have super sensitive taste buds when it comes to greasy tastes! Over all it's bacon that these crisps taste of and the flavouring is strong on all of them, the odd crisp in the bag is mega strong and has been overloaded with the salty powder but there aren't many of them..... shame because they're delish!
My mate told me that these are ok for vegetarians as well, seems a bit weird that veggies can't eat a lot of fruity sweets but they're ok with meat flavoured crisps! I've looked at the ingredients and can't see anything a veggie WOULDN'T eat but I'm not all that sure about the names of some things so you'll have to look yourself! lol
Recommended..... yummy!!!
Pity you don't get Crisps like these in smaller packets. I guess that's what Frazzles are for though.
This is Tesco's big bag version of these. They come in a 150g bag and cost about 70p. The bag looks alright, a nice pink colour and from the packet it gives the idea of a nice Bacon taste. There is a picture of a bowlful of these and they look like Frazzles as well.
There is quite a lot of Crisps in here, and they are quite heavy as far as Crisps go. They are nearly a square shape and are a light yellow colour with a couple of pink lines through them. I guess this is meant to symbolise Bacon Rashers. They are pretty crunchy as well, and a bit crumby.
These have a nice Smokey Bacon taste to them. They are full of flavour and not plain tasting and boring. The other Crisps in the range are nice too and they come in Onion Rings and Cheese Puffs.
I find this easy to graze at the bag and eat it all in 1 sitting, but I feel a bit sickly afterwards. I never learn though, and keep munching on these.
A nice Crisp to snack on as they are cheap and tasty.
I started buying these a few years ago because I am a big fan of Frazzles, and as any fans will know Frazzles are quite difficult to get hold of these days! Because they are a Tesco product they are only available from Tesco but seem to be available in most stores, even the smaller express ones. They come in a 150g bag for 85p. It is worth noting that the packaging is slightly different from that in the picture and is now a bit more modern with pink and silver squares. The snack can be found in the crisp aisle, next to the other big bags of crisps and tubed crisps such as Pringles.
Opening the bag you are greeted by a nice bacon smell. They smell very appetising and make you keen to eat them! The crisps themselves are about an inch in length and about half an inch wide. They are a light brown in colour with pinky coloured stripes which I imagine is meant to make them resemble streaky bacon. So tucking into them the first thing you notice is the taste, they do taste quite like bacon and there is plenty of flavouring on each crisp. The crisps melt easily in the mouth and are very moreish. They are quite crunchy but not as hard as regular crisps meaning that they are better for younger children as they dont pose as a choking hazard.
The crisps are made from Maize, making them different from the usual potato crisps. 100g (more than half the bag) contains 510 calories, 3.7g sugars, 27.4g fat (1.9g saturates) and 2.2g salt. Now these dont appear to be very healthy but it is worth noting that these figures are for 2/3 of the bag and its unlikely you will be eating that much! However, they are better as a treat and are very good served in bowls at parties.
I really like these crisps and the only thing that puts me off occasionally is the nutritional value! They are similar to Frazzles, but in my opinion slightly more salty. They are good value for money and are great to share so I recommend them.
I rmeeber fondlty the days of growing up with my two brothers, and going down the local shop and mum buying us Frazzles. What could be better than a crisp, tasting of bacon, and actually trying to look like bacon too?!
Its just a shame that you dont often see them in many supermarkets now, but Tesco have their own version, which comes in a super big bag, ideal for sharing.
These bacon rashers taste exactly how I remember them, nice strong flavour, without being too strong. They are made out of maize, and formed into retangular shapes, which have strips of red on them in order to look like a piece oif streakuy bacon.
The only trouble with these is that they are very moreish, and its easy to keep eating and eating without realsing that you have voirtyaully eaten the whole pack!
Of course the other problem you ahve with these is that after you have had some, you fingers turn a little orange, and they stink of bacon, even after you've washed your hands!
I must come onto the price for these, which are arpiund 80p per bag. For the size of bag, I think this represents great value for money, as they are best enjoyed with a group of frieds. Me and my wife got a bag of these of these for Christmas along with other snacks and they went down a treat!

Marcela Valladolid, the Food Network star from Chula Vista, won a $50,000 donation from Lowe's for Olivewood Gardens and Learning Center with her Baja-inspired design for an outdoor room.
The chef's "Colors and Textures of Baja" outdoor room received the most Facebook votes in Lowe's Designer Challenge. She was competing on behalf of National City's Olivewood center, a nonprofit facility that provides a hands-on, garden-based curriculum and culinary lessons to area children and their families.
Valladolid, who grew up in Baja, is the star of "Mexican Made Easy" on the Food network. She created a room that featured succulent plants in a hanging garden and patio furniture, accents and paint colors that reflected the ocean and Baja terrain.
"What an honor to be able to win $50,000 for Olivewood Gardens, an organization I deeply admire for bringing children and communities together to learn about the science of plants and the benefit of growing your own food," Valladolid said.
Two other entries received $25,000 donations from Lowe's for Rachael Ray's nonprofit Yum-o! organization and the Kips Bay, N.Y., Boys & Girls Club.

Apple: ISI Group Sees 'Massive' Upgrade Cycle this Summer on Larger iPhone 6
Shares of Apple (AAPL) are up $3.79, or 0.7%, at $528.48, after ISI Group's Brian Marshall predicted in a note to clients this morning that the company could see a "massive" upgrade cycle for the iPhone by as soon as this summer when it releases two new models, presumably an "iPhone 6," with 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch screen models.
Marshall, who has a Buy rating on the stock, and a $600 price target, writes that such larger phones would answer pent-up demand from the installed base of iPhone users, and possibly lure away users from Google's (GOOG) Android operating system:
We estimate the current iPhone installed base to be about 260mil users (roughly equivalent to the last 7 quarters worth of iPhone units). By our calculations (see page 2 for detailed assumptions), we estimate slightly over half of iPhone sales today go to upgrades (with the majority of new users coming from international markets). However, we believe that while the upgrade rate (i.e., % of installed base upgrading their device in a given quarter) had hovered in the 10-11% range over 2011-12, it has now dropped closer to 9% as users find few compelling reasons to upgrade. In peak quarters, the upgrade rate has reached the ~12-14% range and we expect a similar upgrade rate in 2H14 for iPhone 6, if not better. We believe this could drive ~$3.00 (or ~10-15%) EPS accretion over 2H14 assuming an incremental ~3% of the base upgrades each quarter.
Here's Marshall's projection of historical upgrade patterns for iPhone:
And here is his model for what the iPhone 6 might look like in dollars and sense:

Yankees DFA Hill to make room for Outman
TORONTO -- Left-hander Rich Hill was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Friday to make room for fellow southpaw Josh Outman on the active roster. The Yankees acquired Outman from the Indians on Thursday in exchange for a player to be named or cash considerations.
Hill, in his 10th big league season, allowed no runs over six appearances with the Yankees after signing in July following a stint with the Angels.
Outman had a 3.28 ERA in 31 games with Cleveland. He will be tasked with getting left-handed hitters out, New York manager Joe Girardi said.
"He's a left-handed specialist who has had success," Girardi said. "You look at his numbers versus lefties in Cleveland this year, and it wasn't too bad. He'll get an opportunity to help us."
Outman has held lefties to a .180/.293/.380 batting line this year, and he has enjoyed similar success against lefty hitters over the course of his six Major League seasons.

A newly released video from Global Green USA reveals promising results of 2012 pilots to test recyclable produce boxes.
The Santa Monica,Calif.-based environmental group joined with members of the Coalition for Resource Recovery to test alternatives to paraffin-coated produce boxes, according to a news release from Global Green.
Results of the two pilots show that many products with recyclable coatings are strong enough to hold up to vacuum cooling, hydro-vac and hydo-cooling processes, according to the release. Pilots were conducted in Salinas, Calif. and Vineland, N.J.
"The move to recyclable-coated boxes will divert waste from landfills and save money for the food service and retail industry," Lily Kelly, interim Director of the Coalition for Resource Recovery and coordinator of the pilots, said in the release. "It is an exciting time."
Greens, vegetables, meat and seafood are often transported in paraffin-coated cardboard, according to the release. That results in 1.45 million tons of solid waste that must be sent to landfills or burned.
If used instead of wax-infused boxes, recyclable cartons could provide retailers and foodservice operators a benefit of $200 million in cost savings and new revenue, according to the release. In addition, industry adoption of alternative recyclable-coating packaging, along with recycling those packages, could cut America's annual carbon emissions by the equivalent of what one coal-fired power plant produces in a year, according to the release.
"This is good news for farmers and our customers," Vince Consalo, president of Wm. Consalo & Sons Farms Inc., Vineland, N.J., said in the release.
Consalo & Sons helped test recyclable boxes in September.
"Recyclability is a big selling point," Consalo said.
Lakeside Organic Gardens in Watsonville, Calif., also participated in the pilot.
One buyer said the recyclable-coated cartons are preferable to wax-infused cartons.
"Selling cardboard is a revenue stream for us and it helps contribute to our Zero Waste Goals of 2020," Dom D'Agostino of retailer Ahold International, said in the release. "If we could recycle coated cardboard, it would significantly help us meet these goals."
Global Green USA's pilot series will continue in 2013, according to the release.
"As a third party, our job is to document these tests and spread the word about what is recyclable and what works," she said in the release. "Our next steps are to document increasingly tough use of the boxes — wetter cooling and longer distance travelled.
"We're confident that these boxes can handle it, and we're excited to document next year's story in video as well."

'Parks & Rec' Star Nick Offerman Steals Sundance in Wonderful Teen Comedy 'Toy's House'
First I must apologize to the makers of Toy's House. I am sorry. I am very, very sorry and I will never do it again. I fell asleep during the movie. Like a 10-year-old on New Year's Eve I was filled with excitement but my eyes just got too heavy and sleep overwhelmed me, shuttling me off into an unwanted unconscious for about 15 minutes somewhere in the middle.
That is not a reflexion on the movie. This is a result of being at Sundance, where the movie premiered, for almost a week and, well, living like a teenage boy. It's all staying up late, procrastinating your homework, watching way too many nerdy (but awesome movies), talking to your friends instead of working, eating mostly things that come in bags, and riding in buses. Lots and lots of buses. That's why I was so tired by the time I got to Toy's House, the third movie of my day.
My lifestyle was quite fitting though because the movie is about what happens when teenage boys try to live like adults (instead of the reverse, which is, at least until the festival is over, my life). Joe Toy (Nick Robinson) is sick of living by the rules of his gruff and comically sadistic father (Parks and Recreation's Nick Offerman whose mustache appears to be growing and his devoured the lower half of his face) and his best friend Patrick (The Big C ginge Gabriel Basso) is sick of his comically overbearing mother (Offerman's IRL wife Megan Mullally) so the two of them decide to move into a house they build in the woods. Along for the ride is Biaggio (Moises Arias) and Kelly (Erin Moriarty), the girl Joe and Patrick fight over.
Considering this is a Sundance coming of age story about three boys who move into the woods, you think there will be lots of slow shots of nature and brooding about what it's like to become a man. And there is that. But what makes this movie brilliant is the zippy one-liners, the genius comic timing, and the inventive situations that these quirky but endearing characters find themselves in. It's like one of those smart stories about rites of passage, but with amazing jokes. Imagine if Porky's if it bothered to read the articles in Playboy and you'd have this movie. Especially when things go awry with the house and the allegiances of friends and family are tested.
The MVP is Offerman, who plays a similar but more verbose version of his Parks character and whose every line of dialogue is a stinging zinger. It's enough to drive his son out of the house, but makes the rest of the audience howl. Mullally is also great, playing a version of everyone's mom who leaves embarrassing notes in your lunch and won't leave you alone about taking your shoes off at the front door. Arias is a revelation, playing a honor-bound oddball to great effect (if only he were tall enough to be cast as something other than a teen).
The young cast is also stellar, but the real credit belongs to director Jordan Vogt-Roberts and writer Chris Galletta. They have made the rarest of things, a teen comedy that is a sweet as it is amusing, as true as it is charming, and as beautiful as it is funny. I promise when it makes its way into theaters (and it just scored a distribution deal) I'll be back to see the whole thing in its entirety and live like a teenage boy once more.

The journey
Step 1: The Consultation
You'll meet your personal advisor and your qualified Optometrist, who'll take you through the consultation process and carry out your eye examination.
You may be familiar with some of the tests and equipment as they are similar to those you've had before at your opticians - the difference is the information we gather during the examinations. This allows us to build up your personalised treatment plan. After we've had a good look at your eyes, there's plenty of time to talk through your treatment options and to receive answers to all your questions. Your consultation is likely to last around 2 hours.
- You won't be able to wear contact lenses for a period of time before your consultation.
- You will be advised not to drive for a few hours afterwards.
- Your recommended personal treatment plan will be explained.
- There's plenty of time to ask questions.
- Allow up to 2 hours for your consultation.
- There's no charge for an Ultralase consultation.
During your consultation, your personal treatment plan will have been explained in as much detail as you like and you'll have plenty of time after your consultation to talk through this with your personal advisor.
Consultations at Ultralase are free and there's absolutely no obligation. This means you can take as much time as you need to make the decision to go ahead. Different people work in different timescales so there's no right or wrong amount of time you should take.
To help manage your diary or reserve a specific treatment date, you're able to hold a provisional date for your treatment when you book your consultation. However, if you know that your laser eye treatment is a matter of when, not if, you may not want to wait too long. Some offers are time limited and it would be a shame to miss out.
Step 2: Treatment
The treatment day process will differ dependent upon the type of treatment that you are having. The clinic team will take you through the treatment day process for your individual treatment plan at your consultation.
Regardless of treatment type, most people are nervous on their treatment day. This is absolutely normal and the clinic team are there to calm your nerves and reassure you.
On the day you will meet your surgeon who check your eyes and explain everything to you again including the treatment process, giving you the opportunity to ask any questions that may have arisen since your consultation. You'll also meet the team who'll run through all you need to know about caring for your eyes after treatment and what to expect in the following days and weeks.
Step 3: Post treatment
We advise our patients to close their eyes and rest for several hours once home from treatment- taking their usual pain relief medication should they feel it necessary. Weall then see you for a series of aftercare appointments, the first 1 to 2 days after treatment.
Step 4: Life after treatment
Laser and IOL vision correction treatments are 2 of the most commonly performed eye operations in the world and both are considered safe and highly effective. The vast majority of people require no further treatment or care following their discharge.

Compromise reached on local rules for pot outlets
SALEM, Ore. (AP) The Senate Judiciary Committee reached a compromise Thursday on a measure that would allow cities and counties to restrict some aspects of how medical marijuana dispensaries operate, but the bill does not go far enough for those that want the authority to ban the facilities altogether.
"What the bill will do is give clarity and certainty" to the state's dispensary laws, said Sen. Floyd Prozanski, D-Eugene.
Prozanski said the bill, SB 1531, makes clear that local governments would have authority to regulate dispensaries in the same way they do other businesses in their communities, such as setting rules about hours, locations and certain other conditions of operation. The current law allowing medical pot facilities, which passed in the Legislature last year, would not have prohibited such regulations, he said, but SB 1531 makes that certain.
Several cities have banned the medical marijuana dispensaries or are considering doing so some only temporarily while they craft policies for dealing with them.
As it's now written, the bill doesn't permit those bans. Lawmakers amended the bill's original draft to reach a compromise and get it through committee.
However, the bill fails to accomplish what the Association of Oregon Counties had hoped for when it requested the legislation, said Rob Bovett, a lawyer for the association and a former district attorney. The biggest problem is a conflict between state and federal law, Bovett said, and without allowing local governments to ban dispensaries, that conflict is not resolved.
Bovett said local governments can't be forced to license a business that is essentially a criminal enterprise under federal law, but state law does not let them prohibit the businesses either. Unless lawmakers add an exception into the law allowing the bans, the local governments will have to fight the state in court for that authority.
Bovett said he expects the rewritten bill to pass the Senate, but the association will continue to push the House to add language allowing cities and counties to prohibit medical pot dispensaries in their areas. If that language isn't added before the bill becomes law, he said, it could lead to costly litigation.
Sen. Jeff Kruse, R-Roseburg, voted to move the bill to the full Senate, but he said he hoped keeping the bill alive would allow for more discussion in the House.
"Something's better than nothing at this point in time," Kruse said.

The Las Vegas airport has sprouted its second new building, this one on the site of the old terminal. It is another steel building. Anyone know the source of funding for all this construction.

Is Tractor Supply Company, the largest retail farm and ranch store chain in the United States, coming to North Seventh Street? The company operates over 1,150 retail stores in 45 states, employs more than 17,000 team members and is headquartered in Brentwood, Tenn. Its stock is traded on the NASDAQ exchange under the symbol "TSCO." The closest is in Edgewood, NM.
From the Company web site:
The company was founded in 1938 as a mail order catalog business offering tractor parts to America's family farmers. Today Tractor Supply is a leading edge retailer with revenues of approximately $4 billion.
Tractor Supply stores are primarily located in rural areas and the outlying suburbs of major cities. The typical Tractor Supply store has 15,000-24,000 square feet of inside selling space with a similar amount of outside space used to display agricultural fencing, livestock equipment and horse stalls.
Stores supply the unique products to support their customers' rural lifestyle, from welders and generators to animal care products and men and women's workwear. You can also find pet supplies, animal feed, power tools, riding mowers, lawn and garden products and more. Each store team includes welders, farmers and horse owners who collectively provide an exceptional depth of knowledge and resources.
Tractor Supply is committed to understanding and fulfilling the needs of those who enjoy the rural lifestyle: folks who frequently describe themselves as hobby farmers and hobby ranchers. It is estimated that the "hobby" or "pleasure" farmer consumer segment spends more than $5.5 billion annually on farm supplies. Today less than 10 percent of the company's customers classify themselves as full-time farmers or ranchers. In fact, Tractor Supply's largest customer segment does not farm at all. They are more aptly described as rural or suburban homeowners, or "self-reliants." When asked, customers often describe Tractor Supply as "a store you can trust."

Two CEO Champions
Management doesn't conquer all, but boy it can conquer a lot. This morning we saw terrific numbers from two retailers, Home Depot (HD) and Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS), and I have to tell you that much of what was good this quarter can be placed right at the feet of the people who run the companies. Home Depot's Frank Blake and Dick's' Ed Stack are two remarkable CEOs who are worthy of exuberant praise.
Home Depot's quarter shows a remarkable 2.9% increase in average ticket price, to $54.55, an important metric because it says that people are spending more on their houses than they did before. The average number of customers shopping at Home Depot showed a hefty increase, too....416 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

When Adam "Pacman" Jones tells NFL rookies to learn from his mistakes, they have a million reasons to listen.
Speaking at the recent NFL rookie symposium, Jones talked about his wild days as a young player with the Tennessee Titans. Indianapolis Colts rookie tight end Coby Fleener, who attended the symposium, wrote a guest column on the event for SI.com.
According to Fleener, Jones told the rookies that he once spent $1 million in one weekend.
Even Terrell Owens was flabbergasted by that story, who according to Fleener's SI.com column, looked at Jones afterward and said, "Man, you crazy."
Jones, now with the Cincinnati Bengals, wanted to leave an impression at the symposium. He succeeded.
Many athletes find themselves in financial trouble, no matter how much money they make. In Jones' case, it's easy to understand why.

Owners and players will restart CBA negotiations at 7 p.m. on Monday night amid widespread pessimism and continued harsh public remarks from the union about the NHL lockout—specifically commissioner Gary Bettman.
"You gotta cut out the cancers," Florida Panthers winger Kris Versteeg told TSN Radio. "(You) have to look at (deputy commissioner) Bill Daly and Bettman … They've been polluting this game for far too long."
Some other players actually went to the trouble to have baseball hats printed up reading "Puck Gary." Those popped up at a skate in Montreal on Monday morning, according to TVA Sports' Louis Jean.
Bettman, deserved or not, has become the avatar for the owners' demands, and players are much quicker to criticize him than the guys who sign their checks.
"I work for the owners but I work for the game. What I do transcends what I do for the owners," Bettman told the Winnipeg Free Press on Monday. "I do work for the game and I try to do the best I can for the game. You'll find in the course of labour disputes, there's always a lot of rhetoric. Most of it is just noise. Most of it is misinformed. There's propaganda. It's just a fact of life that you live with.
"By the way, I love the players. Nobody should think for a moment that I don't. If I didn't I wouldn't do this job. I couldn't do this job. I believe in the players. I don't believe in what's going on right now. It's part of the business of the game. The least attractive part of the game."
The chief remaining issue remains how—and when—to drop players from their previous 57 percent of revenues to 50 percent. Owners have proposed footing the bill on some—not all—of the lost salaries. The league has also dug in on contracting rights—they've proposed a five-year limit on deals and a set of rules designed to stop players from signing lucrative second contracts, among other things.
The sides are meeting for the first time in eight days, on the 65th day of a work stoppage that has already wiped out 327 games and threatens the entire season if a settlement isn't reached soon. Monday's meeting will include several players, Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke and possibly bring with it a union counterproposal, though Daly told ESPN New York that he had "no idea" if that would be the case.
After turning down a suggestion from Bettman to take a two-week break from negotiations, the union requested another meeting with the league that was scheduled Saturday. It will be the first bargaining session between the sides since Nov. 11, when a busy week of negotiating wrapped up with a session that lasted just over an over and didn't produce any results.
All games through Nov. 30 and the New Year's Day Winter Classic have been called off. Another round of cancellations is expected this week if a new deal isn't reached.
Bettman acknowledged the damage that has already been done with sponsors and fans, but said the extent won't be known until the stoppage is over.
"The thought of (losing the season) is something I don't even want to consider because we obviously don't want to be in that situation. But we have to have the right agreement and the system has to work well" Bettman said. "Otherwise, the long-term consequences of not having the right agreement, are more difficult to deal with than short term consequences."
