RUNT is not exactly the runt of the litter when it comes to stun guns, especially considering the 20,000,000-Volt RUNT Stun Gun with a Flashlight and Wrist Strap Disable Pin.

This small-but-terrible package is perfect for anyone who wants to be able to defend themselves against criminal attacks without having to carry a huge weapon.

The RUNT: Ruthless, Reliable, Rechargeable
Do small stun guns work? There is more than just one RUNT Stun Gun video on the Internet that can tell you this one does. In fact, online, there are countless videos of people allowing themselves to get hit by live stun guns, letting you see what a couple of millions of volts can do to a person. With the RUNT, you can replicate those results all too easily.
Armed with millions of voltage and 4.5 milliamps (as long as the batteries are fully charged), you can use the RUNT's electric shock to administer a pain that will likely scar the memory of anyone unfortunate enough to receive this shock. And that is just with half a second of live contact.
The device's ruthlessness is really unleashed when you manage to sneak in an attack that lasts for a few more seconds of contact. Given that duration, the effect is closer to true neuro-muscular incapacitation, similar to what taser guns can administer. You can accomplish this by setting it up with a couple of quick, short jabs of live stun gun contact. While your target is confused or distracted by those small attacks, you can come in with a shock that lasts for 3 to 5 seconds. The resulting effects would give you the opportunity to seek safety and escape the violent encounter without getting hurt.
RUNT stun guns are reliable not only because they are high voltage stun guns but also because they are working flashlights. When you are walking down the dark and (potentially) dangerous streets you have to pass through in order to either get home, do your chores, or go to work, you can already have the RUNT in your hands as a flashlight. Unbeknownst to any nearby criminals who may be preying on you, your flashlight is the same as your self-defense stun weapon: you are already armed and ready, even though you look like you are just holding a flashlight because it is dark.
This is an especially useful feature because it illuminates dark paths while also allowing you to keep your weapon drawn in areas where you are likely to get attacked. This makes it perfect for nurses, doctors, students, or teachers who often have no choice but to commute at night.
It might even make you look like you are holding a cell phone instead of a flashlight or stun gun. When that happens, you will have the opportunity to shock the hand of anyone who tries to take your 'cell phone', teaching them a painful lesson about how looks can be deceiving, especially in the dark.
The reliability of the RUNT extends to its care and maintenance. Each 20 million volt RUNT comes with a lifetime warranty. That is so you will not have to worry about any defects on any unit you purchase.
When your RUNT flashlight stun gun is out of juice, you simply need to pull out its prongs and plug it into a wall socket to charge it. With rechargeable stun guns, you can be sure you are at least packing the maximum volts and amps that the weapon can dish out before entering any areas where you just might be attacked by criminal elements.
Being Armed and Ready Is No Reason Not to Look Good
Besides being some of the smallest stun guns on the market today, these are also some of the most fashionable stun guns for men and women because of their shape, size, and availability in various colors. The RUNT comes in classic black, which is a favorite of law enforcement, private security firms, and civilians who do not tolerate crime.
There is also pink, which will allow your RUNT to look as though it is not a stun weapon but another ordinary, everyday electronic gadget, like a cell phone or a music player. The same can be said for the RUNT that comes in the colors purple, green, red, and blue. And when you are armed with a weapon that looks too colorful to be an actual weapon, you can surprise your attacker during close-quarters combat (and look good while doing it).
In the world of self-defense, fashion can have a very practical application. When your stun gun does not look at all like a stun gun from a distance, there is a large chance your attacker is not going to be prepared to defend themselves. And when their defenses are lowered because they are not expecting retaliation, this is when you can strike first. This is an underappreciated benefit of stun guns that can also look like harmless everyday objects.
Safety Comes with Security
As a practical weapon for self-defense, the RUNT comes with some practical safety measures. Besides a working safety on/off switch, it is connected to a wrist strap disable pin. With the wrist strap looped around your wrist, the disable pin is plugged into the RUNT. Should an attacker be successful in grabbing the weapon away from your hand, the disable pin would be pulled out, effectively stopping it from working in your attacker's hands. This ensures only you can use your weapon. Just do not let your attacker wrestle the wrist strap disable pin from you, as plugging the pin back in can make the RUNT work again.
The RUNT Stun Gun: a reliable, rechargeable, and safe but ruthless self-defense device that fits just about anybody's hands.

When you have trouble with sinus problems, you're probably going to want to answer your question "what is your sinus". While yes, we've all had trouble with sinusitis at some point or another, it is extremely important to understand exactly what it is you are dealing with before you attempt to treat it.
Well, a sinus is a pocket in the anatomy. Generally, this sinus sack or cavity is typically used to refer to the paranasal sinuses, which are air cavities within your skull. When these sinuses become infected they can become clogged and cause a world of difficult symptoms to treat. However, with how common sinusitis or sinus infections have become, the treatments have become a broad spectrum for you to choose from. Whether you opt to use over the counter medications, herbal remedies, or homeopathic at home treatments, it is possible to get your sinuses back in working order and to lessen the overall symptomatic pain that you feel.
If you are someone who has to deal with chronically infected sinus cavities, you're probably looking for help in lessening the frequency in which you get these ailments. The best way to prevent them is to keep these cavities clear of debris with saline rinses. Whether you use nasal sprays or a neti pot, these are great ways to help prevent the congestion buildup that will cause a string of annoying symptoms.
Overall, the sinus is a finicky cavity that will collect infection if given even the slightest reason to. Often times sinus infections are a post-cold infection that is caused by the common cold, influenza, and other viral infections. Typically, it can be treated easily but if you find yourself with chronic problems, you're going to want to pay a visit to your doctor for antibiotics or possible surgical intervention.
When you're talking about sinusitis and all that comes with it, you're going to want to know what kind you have. The most common kind of sinus infection is acute sinusitis. But, what is acute sinusitis? Who can get this kind of infection? Well, first, anyone can get acute sinusitis, it is the most common strand seen throughout the world, especially with those who have never had problems with sinus infections before.
Acute sinusitis is generally caused by a viral infection rather than bacterial. Though, you can still get an acute sinus infection from pneumonia, the flu, or the common cold as well. Though, it can also be caused by a fungal invasion as well, though, they are typically only seen in people with a suppressed immune system and they will require a bit more medical treatment than the average person.
When you come down with a case of acute sinusitis, there are many different ways of treating it. You can opt to use over the counter medication, herbal remedies, or homeopathic cures to help lessen the symptoms such as headache, postnasal drip, sore throat, mouth pain, fever, and congestion. Some of the more common treatments are expectorants, pain medications, eucalyptus, grapefruit seed oil, and moist heat.
All of these things can help you to lessen the symptoms of sinusitis without having to go to the doctor to seek remedy. Typically, without cause, your physician will not put you on antibiotics ot get rid of a sinus infection. In cases where someone has a poor immune system or if their infection has gotten out of hand, this will be the course of action and possibly sinus surgery. Though, these are usually last ditch efforts if you are unable to get rid of the infection after the typical ten to twelve day course of sinusitis.
When you think you're going to get sinusitis or sphenoid sinus disease, you're going to have to think about the signs to look for sinus infections, especially if you're just getting over a cold or the flu. With sinusitis symptoms, you're going to get headache, fever, severe nasal congestion, and in some cases you'll get mouth and jaw pain as well. These things separate sinus infections from other viral or bacterial ailments. In other cases, you may deal with sinus pause due to congestion.
As you may already know, everyone has many different sinus pockets or cavities in their bodies with their own special functions. When they become irritated, inflamed, or infected, several symptoms and risks come into play. This of course makes sinus infections one of the most detrimental ailments that are quite common throughout the world.
What is sinus pause? Well, it is when there is a block in the rhythm or electrical activity in the heart. While this isn't a typical symptom of your standard sinus infection, it is possible for sinus infections or disease to spread to other sinus cavities if left untreated. You need to know when you should go to your physician. If your symptoms aren't tolerable or you cannot keep them maintained, you should seek medical attention, as they will be able to assist you in getting your chronic sinusitis under control and help to lower the risk of severe problems later.
In some cases, you may even start having problems with your eyelids if you find yourself with ethmoid sinusitis. Vision changes are extremely rare, however, if you leave it untreated can lead to permanent blindness. Equally, with all sinus problems a person may experience personality changes, neck stiffness, and altered consciousness. As you can see, despite the fact that we ignore our sinus infections from time to time, we absolutely need to keep on top of them to prevent the more severe symptoms and risks that are involved when an infection is left untreated.
When you stop to think about sinus infections, you may want to firstly know about how to get rid of a stuffy nose, how to get rid of sinus pain, and how to get rid of a sinus headache. However, you'll first want to know about the common causes of sinus infections, that way, you can help to prevent them before they start!
The three most common causes of sinusitis are the common cold, viral influenza, and hay fever. While it is possible for you to get any one of these three without a follow-up of sinus problems, you should always keep an eye out for the symptoms such as fever, headache, and mouth pain. If you do have these common illnesses, you should keep an eye on treating the cold, flu, or hay fever to prevent a sinus infection later. But, if you do find yourself sick with a sinus infection, you'll want to know about what is good for sinus pressure, home remedies for sinus problems, and a sinusitis cure.
Some of the more popular treatments for sinusitis would be a natural cure for sinus problems, as well as homeopathy. However, there are other ways to find a cure for sinus infection. Whether you take it to your doctor for antibiotics in the case of a severe sinus infection, use over the counter medications, or seek a more natural cure for sinus problems, you can find relief from the many symptoms of this painful ailment.
Although you can treat sinus infections while you're suffering through the problems, it is suggested to cure the common cause of them before it gets to that point. Remember, knowing your body, understanding the signs and symptoms of sinus infection, and preventing it before it happens can save you a great deal of discomfort and possible loss of quality of life while you're laid up with chronic or even one time only sinus infection problems.
When you're suffering from a sinus infection, you're likely going to want nothing more than to curl up in your bed and wish away the sniffles. I know I have! But, that is no way to live, especially when we're expected to participate in our day-to-day lives without interruptions from chronic sinus problems. Fortunately, the treatment for sinus problems is an easy one.
Typically, people won't need medication or sinus surgery to cure their sinus infections. In fact, one of the more popular means of curing sinus infections is through natural cures. While yes, you can beg borrow and steal for some antibiotics for your sinus infection, if you get rid of a sinus infection naturally, you don't run the risk of becoming immune to life-saving antibiotics.
Finding a natural cure for sinuses is fairly simple, with a browse around the web, you will come face-to-face with hundreds of them. However, some of the more popular methods of curing or aiding in the recovery from sinus infections are saline rinse, apple cider vinegar, hydrogen peroxide and sea salt, steaming with apple cider vinegar, and grapefruit seed extract.
Of course, each of these natural cures for sinus infections will vary depending on the person who is using them. It is all a matter of finding what will help you to get rid of sinusitis. With that said, if you have trouble getting past your sniffles and drainage, you may want to consult with your doctor for their opinion on some of the different holistic or herbal remedies for sinus problems.
All in all, sinusitis is a pesky thing that we all face in our day-to-day lives at least at some point. It is all a matter of getting to know your body, recognizing the symptoms of sinus infections and getting them treated with a sinus cure of some sort.
If you are an allergy sufferer, you probably know all about allergies and sinus problems. Whether it is sinus allergies, allergic sinusitis, or just a common cold making both of these conditions flair up, there is no reason for you to sit around and suffer anymore with allergies sinus infection allergies. But, when does it come down to sinus infection vs. allergies? Well, the more common ways to tell if you're getting a sinus infection rather than dealing with allergies is fever, mouth pain, and headaches. While these are common with sinus infection, they won't always be present with allergies.
One of the things you can become accustomed to dealing with when you suffer from both of these conditions is allergies sinus dizziness. While it doesn't seem to be all that big of a problem, it can really play a detrimental role in taking your daily life and locking it away until it clears up. After all, it is difficult to get anything done if the room is spinning.
But fortunately, there is help for allergies sinus problems, including treatment of both sinusitis and the allergies that you are facing. However, unlike traditional sinusitis or allergies, you will want to ensure that you are treating the underlying causes of each. With that said, you need to ensure that your doctor has weighed in on what you can and cannot combine when trying to treat it with over the counter drugs, homeopathic remedies, or natural remedies.
Lastly, try to nip it in the bud before you are suffering with these symptoms. If you're able to keep your allergies and chronic sinus problems under control, you will have less down time with the symptoms that you may have otherwise had to suffer through until your sinusitis or your allergies have run their courses with the help of your medications and chosen treatments.
Sinus infection is usually caused by anything that blocks or inflames the nasal passages. This is basically when there is interference with the air flow in and out of the sinuses. This may be as a result of swelling which is usually caused by allergies, common colds and other different types of drugs. It is important for one to know the signs of sinus infection so as to take the necessary precautions as soon as possible. This is because if the sinus infection is not readily treated then it might become chronic causing a recurrence which is usually very disturbing.
There are those infections that are infected and those that are non infectious which are caused by different factors. There are a number of signs of sinus infection which can easily be detected by anyone. These include headache, nasal pressure or pain, facial tenderness and fever. These signs usually vary on different patients and this might require a lot of diagnosis by a medical practitioner. Fever is one of the least experienced symptoms by most patients and this is usually associated with sinus infections that are acute.
Headache is one of the signs that most of the patients face though it needs to be accompanied by other symptoms like pain or pressure around the nose and tenderness on the face for one to be sure that it is a sinus infection. Most people find that there is an increase in the sensitivity and increased headache pains when they tend to lean forward which is basically caused by the added pressure that is put on the sinuses.
Other signs of sinus infection include a feeling of pain on the ear or on a tooth, bad breath and even fatigue. Different patients may experience different symptoms depending on the type of sinusitis that they are suffering from. Those infections that are caused by allergies may include signs and symptoms like sneezing and itchy eyes which are the most common ones. These are usually incorporated with the other signs which make it possible to know the type of sinus infection that one is suffering from considering the fact that they are categorized.
It is also important to not that signs like cloudy nasal drainage that is discolored; feeling of nasal stuffiness, coughs and sore throats can also be signs of sinus infection. It is therefore important to be cautious and visit the doctor with the slightest feeling of discomfort associated with the above signs and symptoms.
Sinusitis is one of those diseases that can be easily detected. However, most of the people neglect them and face severe consequences in the future. If you don't want to see yourself in those circumstances, you should know the symptoms of sinus. It allows you to check, if you are suffering from the condition or not.
Allergies, viral and cold are some of the very common infections. Sinus appears to be normal cold. However, a sinus infection can two to three weeks to recover and in case, it has become chronic, it could take more than three months. There are four sinus cavities in our cranium that are connected to our nasal passage. If your sinus cavities are blocked, it would lead to sinusitis. Basic symptoms of sinusitis are mild headaches, swelling and facial pain. Other symptoms include pus filled nasal discharge, cough, cold and facial tenderness. Swelling around the eyes and redness in the nasal passage are some of the rare symptoms of sinusitis. If you want to confirm this condition, medical tests like CT scan are very useful.
A common cold could be an indication of the condition. However, for few people it is the beginning stage of sinus infection. They try to cure the infection with the help of over the counter medicines. But only fraction of them finds them effective. Others then came to know the condition is much severe than a common cold. Fatigue, upset stomach and nausea are other favorable signs of the condition.
If you are sleeping with an open mouth, it is generally associated with sinus infection. It is because, if you have sinusitis, your sinus cavities are blocked and it is almost impossible for you to breathe while sleeping and your mouth opens automatically. It is very common infection and now you know the symptoms. So, try treat it as soon as possible before it becomes a chronic disease.

There is something about Dubai Mall and weird, wonderful chocolate ideas that just seems to pull us in like a magnet. We don't ask for it, it slowly creeps in on us until, before we know it, it's staring us right in the face. It happened not too long ago with edible chocolate photo frames. And the latest in these crazy chocolate concoctions that seem to have adopted Dubai Mall as their breeding ground (to be fair, there is a lot of ground available) is…
A chocolate edition of Monopoly. A chocolate edition of Twister. AND a version of UNO made of… you guessed it.
Were we looking for something like this while innocuously buying some fresh candy from the Spun folks at Candylicious? No. Did their little sweet and sour bits of sugar make us secretly channel our inner Willy Wonka and hope for some crazy new discovery? Maybe. Was our curiosity rewarded? Absolutely.
Excited, we examined the box closely. Took a quick picture before the staff could notice (taking picture isn't allowed inside Candylicious, a rule blatantly ignored by pretty much everybody. Who makes these rules in the age of social media, anyway?).
Apparently, the rules of the chocolate Monopoly game are quite different from the regular ones. You can only play it one time, unless you can resist eating the chocolate. Basically, you buy it for the novelty factor, you and your friends ooh and aaah over it, you play a game while your mind is really set on that $400 Boardwalk chocolate. You then congratulate the winner, who gets to eat the most chocolate. While you make do with your flimsy little properties and luck.
In terms of chocolate quality, while we haven't tried it, other reviewers find the quality of the chocolate about average. Like any other regular store bought chocolate. So if you're buying it expecting a high quality premium taste, you can give it a pass. But if you're looking for some surprised faces and good family fun, we say go for it.
Still need convincing? Watch this.
Location: Inside Candylicious, opposite the Aquarium, Ground Floor, Dubai Mall.

soil testing…
July 16, 2017
Scripture: Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23
Years ago, a farmer would get to know the quality of the soil on his or her land by farming it. Truly learning what crops if any your particular farm soil would best support would take time and patience but, over the course of a few seasons it would become clear just how fertile your plot was. And of course other factors would play into the decision regarding where or even if you would try to plant crops, factors such as the aspect of the sun during the day, access to water in the event that natural rainfall proved insufficient, and whether or not the soil was overly rocky and needed to be cleared or 'rock-picked' before trying to cultivate it.
And when I first started trying to grow vegetables organically and on a large scale, these same considerations came into play. I learned over a number of seasons where the best soil was for particular crops and how to enrich my soil by growing certain crops which could then be turned in after harvest in the fall in order to boost the soil's health and percentage of organic matter.
I also learned early on that it was possible to get soil 'tested' by sending in samples to a lab and asking them to evaluate the soil and its usefulness in growing particular crops or fruit or nut trees. The lab would analyze the content of various minerals and nutrients already contained within your soil and make recommendations in order to assist you in supplementing your soil with the proper elements in order to more rapidly bring the soil's balance into line in order to support your farming requirements.
And I learned that those soil test reports were quite difficult to understand and to interpret and that the soil from one garden plot could be vastly different from another just a few hundred yards away. I learned that it would take far more training than I had in order to benefit from the wealth of information I was given on the soil test report and as a result learned to farm the old fashioned way…through fairly extensive trial and error, through retention of the knowledge the farm and soil itself gave to me over time, and by asking and trusting in the advice of other older farmers in the area who were quite happy to share the wisdom and expertise gained over many decades of farming on their own.
In short I learned to trust in my own eyes, my own ears, and my own experience in seeking to come to better know the land I was farming. Which is not to say that utilizing scientific methods and testing is not helpful or useful, for surely many others rely on such information and are very successful, but rather to say that for me, a 'hands-on' approach to getting to really know the land and to listen as it willingly gave up its secrets worked better for me.
But one critical piece of knowledge I learned and am sure I share with all serious workers of the land is that the soil of earth, the land beneath our feet, is one of the most sacred gifts we have been given within all of Creation…as well as one of our most sacred trusts. From the very beginning of the Creation stories where we hear that God created everything out of nothing to the modern-day theories positing some sort of 'Big Bang' I have no trouble at all reconciling the creative work of God with the notion of a huge divine throwing out of 'stardust' into space…'dust' comprised of all of the minerals and molecules needed in order for life to be birthed on this particular piece of space rubble we call planet earth.
And I also resonate deeply with the account of our Creation story in the second chapter of Genesis where it says that God scooped up some of the clay or dust from the ground and then lovingly formed 'Adam' or adamah in the Hebrew which actually translates as 'dust of the earth'. And it was into this clay or dust that the spirit or Ruah or 'breath' of God was breathed thereby giving it life. All in all…it is the soil of earth beneath our feet that is the beginning or genesis of all life…as well as that which was given in order to continue to support that life here on earth.
And so it does not surprise me at all that Jesus spoke so much in parables starting with and based upon agricultural or farming imagery. And it was not just because his was a time in which agriculture was the dominant social and cultural paradigm, but also this fact that earth and our relationship with it is critical to our life and our future here on this planet.
And I also think that farmers in Jesus' day also learned about their soil and its character and potential in much the same way as I did…through trial and error and by taking advantage of the wisdom of the elders. The audience to which Jesus spoke knew all of these images well, they knew them as though they were speaking directly of their own lived experience for in many cases they surely were. They knew what hard-packed and 'sunbaked' soil was and of how hard and resistant it could be to being worked back into fertile usefulness…they knew of the problems of excessive rockiness in the soil and of the extremely hard work it would require in order to render that soil willing and yielding to the plow…they knew the hazards of errant seed of briars or thorns, of the dangers posed by the haphazard and rapid growth of invasive weeds…they knew the work required to grow healthy and nutritious food in order to sustain themselves and their families…and they knew there were no shortcuts to insuring that blessing.
Our passage today finds Jesus asking his listeners to consider the quality of the soil into which their own lives and faith were planted…to compare that soil of their own soul with the examples he spoke of…examples with which they were familiar of soil or life conditions that might prove to be less than optimal for growth and maturation…either of food crops…or of their own faith life. Jesus was asking them to look inward, at the inner 'soil' of their own lives in order to determine whether or not that soil was capable of sustaining a healthy and vital faith life…
In our passage Jesus spoke first of hard, sunbaked soil…soil that is dry and unreceptive to anything new…soil or ground so packed down as to have any new seeds or new ideas or perspectives literally bounce off of it and refuse to take root…like the worn and packed earth and stone dust of the well-trod path…driven over so many countless times by the carts that have been and continue to travel that way before…you know, those roads we have all been on at various times in our lives…roads that are well-known, where there is nothing new expected and where weaknesses or discrepancies that surface as a result of its hardened and unyielding state are shrugged off as 'collateral damage' or 'necessary evils', or perhaps as simply the consequences of 'progress' or 'normal' everyday life and living.
Our parable tells us that when seed fell upon the surface of this hard-packed and unyielding surface it did nothing, but rather just sat there until birds came along and recognized it as an easy meal…in fact it is hard to even call this surface soil for it has been beaten down for so long and become so hardened that even gentle rains run off and pool on the side of the path. It is not a place for new growth but rather a sterile and lifeless place incapable of sustaining or even supporting newness of life…
The second soil of which Jesus spoke had a problem with the amount of rocks both large and small which were strewn about and all through it. Which begs us to consider as well whether the 'soil' of our own lives might also be so full of rocks that the quantity of natural and fertile soil is quite minimal. In a sense asking if the soil you have is capable of germinating and then supporting new life and new ideas, of receiving new perspectives, even if only for a time. Or…if the rocks that are so prevalent within the soil of the life of some take up so much space with their hardness of secure knowledge…'knowledge' gathered and held into memory blocks along perhaps with other concerns of 'family' or 'tradition', all codified into rigid and unyielding nostalgia and 'ought-ness'?
It calls into question how willing is one bound by such 'rocks' to consider being open to new ideas and new ways of living life and might they be willing at all to consider wholesale changes to the way they view life and their place in the world with such minimal soil hardly deep enough and clean enough to sustain long-term growth and change? Or might such an individual have a point where they begin to become uncomfortable, a point where they start to say, 'enough is enough', that they are not comfortable inviting change and growth to the degree for which they feel asked…is their soil just too full of hard rocks to truly give birth to and support the change that only deep and fertile soil is capable of?
Our parable tells us that rocky soil such as we have just described can allow new life to begin, in fact perhaps even allowing for enthusiasm and excitement in the beginning, until the difficulties of walking a path in the footsteps of Jesus begin to place demands for which some are either unwilling or unable to continue their support. Such soil is often filled far too full with rocks of fixed ideas and specific expectations and simply cannot provide for the nourishment of new ideas and the long-term support of growth…far too often leaving the weary soul to retreat instead into past comforts of tradition and nostalgia.
The third soil of which Jesus spoke contained within it the seeds of future problems…soil that at first glance appears good and rich…dark and loamy, capable of growing anything within it, as though any seed dropped into it would immediately germinate and spring up into fullness of bloom. But are there perhaps potential other problem seeds hidden within that soil, seeds that are capable with time of completely filling up and consuming the life of the soul with distraction, with envy, or with unhealthy desire?
A well-known maxim of farming is that 'One year's weeds bring seven year's seeds'. Meaning that if one allows even small distractions to take root, prosper, and grow unto seed-producing fullness in their life, then those same distractions will return in force in their next season proving to be ever larger and more consuming. These seemingly small if not invisible seeds of the distraction or desire for wealth or reputation, of self-centered rather than others-centered concerns may seem as small and unimportant at first, however when they are allowed to grow and to prosper within the soil of one's own soul they can prove capable of fully overtaking the life of the one so infected…fully choking out the possibility of truly caring for others for their own sake, instead fully consumed with the search for self-serving adulation or personal ego-boosting.
Truly good soil is soil that is free of such noxious weed seeds or at least soil that can be and is worked over and over as small temptations begin to show up, in order to weed them out when they are just tiny seedlings and not yet full-grown thorny and entangling vines.
Our parable tells us that soil that is infected with the seeds of avarice and the desire for inordinate material gain is not able to support a life truly given over to faithfulness…the vines of greed and desire are capable of reaching into the tightest and smallest of cracks within the armor of one's determination to do good, and instead blossom once they are grown into all manner of excuses as to why others should be helped only after one's own self and one's own loved ones are already fully provided for. A soul whose soil is filled with the weed seeds of future distraction and thorny entanglements will not be able to allow room for the commandment to love one another to truly and honestly be fulfilled.
And then lastly Jesus spoke of good and rich soil…soil that is clean of such bad seed and weeds, or perhaps soil that has been worked frequently enough and tilled often enough to have gotten rid of most of those distractions and problems. True soil of life that is loose and loamy, filled with organic matter and the fullness of life that is so present within all soil that is healthy…soil that has been picked over and cleaned, sifted through hard labor to remove the rocks of stubbornness and tradition…with all manner of weakness and selfishness cleared away and discarded allowing a true depth of dark, rich, life-giving soil to emerge as the true character and nature of the soil within your soul.
Our parable tells us that such soil is what the master gardener is seeking after in order to be able to transplant seedlings from the tree of life into it, as well as holy, nourishing, and wholesome plants of hopefulness and grace within the souls of those who follow after him. Such soil that is deep and rich receives, holds, and yields back life-giving water in its time but also has within its make-up and constitution the nourishment needed to initiate and to support healthy growth not only of individual faith life but communal faith life as well. It is this type of soil that Jesus tells us is capable of multiplying its goodness many times over…it is this soil that supports life that begets new life…it is this soil that is required to build the foundation upon which the kingdom of our Lord can truly begin to grow and to take root, until it grows up into the mightiest of trees giving shade and comfort, nourishment and shelter to all who draw near to its magnificent splendor.
…it is this soil of fullness and richness that our Lord wants us to cultivate within our individual souls as he works with us to break up the crusty and unyielding parts of our life that are like that beaten down pathway and as he teaches us to 'pick rock' until we are sure we have let go of anything from our past that might keep us from being able to sustain within our hearts a new word and a new command from our Lord…teaching us as well to carefully weigh all previous commitments to tradition and the subtle and seductive lure of nostalgia.
This is our call…to work the soil of our own soul tirelessly, rooting up any and all seedlings of the thorny vines of selfishness or worldly cares and to continue working that soil until it is finally and mostly free from bothersome and noxious weed seeds, leaving behind a work of beauty and wholeness, rich and fertile…soil ready and anxious to receive the seeds of life offered by the Lord to all who seek after them, offered to all whose soul-soil is ready and able to support and encourage the growth of those seeds of faith unto fullness and multiplied blessings…
How is the soil of your life? Has it been worked hard over and over in order to prepare it for use in the vineyards of our Lord? Is it free from hard places or an abundance of rocky distractions? Is it free from the seeds and roots of entangling vines that can only spell trouble in the future? Is the soil of your soul worthy of the garden of our Lord? Are you willing to let him help you work it until it is ready for his use? Jesus asks each one of us to consider our readiness to serve him fully and without distraction…but in order to do so we need to be willing to test our own soil…

You're going to have to trust me
Artificial Trust is a two player, asymmetric trust exercise where you cannot be sure if the other player is on your side. The game pits AI versus secret agent with two different play-styles:
As the AI, you have control over the building. Lock doors, switch lights off and spy through cameras as you try to manipulate the environment and the agent to do your bidding. Meanwhile, the agent is accessing files and flipping switches, perhaps to sabotage the AI or maybe just get some information.

In the distant past, I wrote a post about shopping online without a credit card. At the time, I recommended Vanilla Visa gift cards; these cards come in denominations of $25, $50, and $100, and can be purchased in many places, such as CVS Pharmacy.
I have come to decide that these cards are NOT the way to go. A big disadvantage of the Visa gift card variety is that they are only good for the face value, and cannot be reloaded. Add to that a steep initial purchase price, and the cost-effectiveness of using the card goes way down. The environmental impact of all those disposable plastic cards is also a concern.
Since then, I have been using– and highly recommend– the Wal-Mart Money Card. Say what you will about Wal-Mart (and I'll probably agree with every criticism you might have), but the Money Card has changed my financial life.
The Wal-Mart Money Card has many advantages over the "single use" cards:
- A debit card that can be used anywhere Visa is accepted
- Card is printed with your name
- Reloadable
- Direct deposit for paychecks and income tax refunds
- Convenient bill-payment service
- Low fees
Using the Wal-Mart Money Card for direct deposit and bill-paying has made budgeting so much easier… and no more weekly trips to the bank to cash paychecks! Most important, I am only spending what I actually have– no credit card debt or hassles.
Do yourself a favor and check out the Wal-Mart Money Card. You may very well decide it is the right choice for you.

Contursi Terme, famous for its natural spas, perched on the end of a hill
We set off from Diego's farm in Sicily on a lovely sunny morning to head towards the coast, pop on a ferry to Italy and head to my Grandads 'farmhouse' in Contursi Terme. I say farmhouse in quotation marks because that's what my family still call it as it did used to be a farm, with chickens and donkeys, vineyards and olive groves, set half way up Monte Pruno. It does still have the vineyards and olive groves surrounding it, among other worked fields, but none of my family live their full time to run it as a farm.
I've been longing to visit the farmhouse, and Italy, for years but it hasn't been until now that I have been able to. I had been to the house twice before when I was 11 and 14 I think, and my memories of those holidays are of having water fights and sitting in a paddling pool outside the front of the house, driving into the town to get ice cream and being stared at by the locals curious as to who we were in their small, rural town, going to a beautiful sandy beach about an hour away and also watching thousands of fireflies from the balcony at night. To me they were the most perfect holidays and I couldn't wait to go back!
The view from the house at sunset
Before we left England I had Google mapped the way to the house and made sure I knew where we were to turn off as the house is located off the main road, up a very potholed dirt track and just sits alone, I don't even think it has it's own road name. Turns out I hadn't needed to be so prepared as when we were driving through the town we started getting beeped at by a car at the side of the road and as we slowed down I saw it was my Great aunt Maria and second cousin Mario, who recognised our van, we stood out quite a bit in this tiny town full of old, tiny Panda 4x4's.
They were keen to show us the way to the house but first they wanted us to stop off at their's for a coffee. Zia Maria had previously lived in England and I was amazed how well she still spoke English considering she probably never had the use for it where she lived now. We had a quick chat about family, a strong coffee and she wanted me to call home to let everyone know we had got their safe! She loaded us up with fresh eggs from her chickens and tomatoes before we left with a promise to come back and visit in a few days. It was great to see her again, I found it funny that she couldn't always remember my name (she is quite elderly now!), saying it was a strange name or getting confused with my sister or one of my many cousins, but she could remember Adam's just fine!
The power cut candle and Zia Maria with her chickens
We went to see her a few more times during the week and it was great listening to her stories of my mum when she was younger, something else that amazed me was her ability to remember the exact date and year of when something had happened, every story had the year to go with it and I struggle to remember what happened a few months ago! It was also a massive coincidence that we found out she used to work on the same mushroom farm in England as one of Adam's old colleagues from Gatwick airport. It really is a small world. We also got the chance to ask some questions about Italy that had been bugging us, like why there were so many half built buildings around, like the one opposite her house. Apparently there were many reasons for this such as people starting to build before getting permission and then having to stop, running out of money, but also because sometimes they will build the main structure first and then leave it for a few years to see if it withstands any earthquake tremors. We had to drive pretty slow over some parts of the roads as you could see damage from previous earthquakes where it had just twisted the road up.
On Sunday we drove an hour to go on the Vollo Dell'Angelo (Flight of the Angel), a 800m high zip wire across the Lucanian Dolomites and suspended between two towns. It was amazing! We heard about it from Diego, our Sicilian host and knew we had to give it a go. The rest of the time we spent chilling at the farmhouse, we did a bit of painting on the balcony on one sunny day, which we've never done together before, I think there was some healthy competition of who could paint the best scenery! We went into town for a drink and some wifi, I went for a walk up the mountain behind the house which was delayed at first as there were a few very protective sheep dogs guarding their flock in the next field that I couldn't get past until the shepherd led them down the hill. Yes they still have shepherds!
Painting on the balcony and storm clouds rolling in
There was also some pretty epic thunderstorms that rolled across the valley in front of us, some thunder actually shook the window panes which I hadn't experienced before! It made for perfect evenings reading or catching up on Breaking Bad though! We've decided that our next stop is going to be the ancient city of Pompeii.

I'm always trying to find new products to try and get the perfect flawless skin that we all want. I've mainly used Nivea and Skin Therapy as well as so many other brands but they all seemed to have one side effect or another (usually ending up in making my skin worse off then it was to start with). I'm still satisfied with the amazing products I use at the moment from Simple Skin Care, but I really fancied a change.
So in the end, I finally decided to try Clean & Clear. It's been labelled the UK's #1 Clear Skin Brand, so I put my trust in the award and bought these three products: Advantage Fast Action Daily Wash, Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub and Dual Action Moisturiser.

Sometimes we see things and make entirely the wrong assumptions. Yet not everything is as it seems, especially not this little yellow box which, at first glance, shouts Kodak. Could it be a new oriental film? Perhaps an ultra-high ISO celluloid to save us a few f-stops? The fact that it contains 36 "exposures" lends weight to the argument. But this little box, which is the spitting image of a film package, hides something much more prosaic than some new-fangled celluloid. Chinese and Japanese speakers will immediately know and, consequently, will certainly not be fooled. The box hails from Hong Kong, probably from Watson's The Chemist, and contains nothing more exciting than 36 anti-diarrhoea tablets. Cheers!
Technical Note: A Japanese friend tells me that 正露丸(Seirogan) is Japan's most famous medicine for such afflictions. Apparently it comes in black or white tablets (monochrome, no less!) of which foul tasting black is the most potent. Only to be taken for critical cases of the trots and definitely not recommended for street photography.

Change, as they say, is the only constant.
Welcome to the business side of operating an NHL team.
If you have a successful season and post positive results, change is necessary because within your budget, you cannot afford to keep all your workers. Some that have earned raises with their performances will end up switching workplaces.
If your season doesn't go so well, change is necessary because you want to address any shortcomings. Inevitably, performance reviews will result in some contractors not being brought back.
So how much change should we expect from the Calgary Flames after a season in 2016-17 that started off disappointing, went through long stretches of tremendous success, before ending disappointingly?
Is there a normal number of changes?
Pack Your Bags
Sticking with Calgary, I went back over the last five years to see from one season to the next, how many of the team's regulars or at least semi-regulars ended up not back with the team the following year.
What I learned is at minimum, at least five notable players have moved on annually. This number topped out at a whopping 14 exits from last season's team between a busy trade deadline and a summer in which Calgary moved on from several free agents.
For the purpose of this research, note that I define 'notable' as skaters that appeared in at least 15 games for Calgary and goalies that played in at least 10 games. I'll also add that last year's departed included two unique situations of players that didn't leave the organization, but were no longer on the NHL team. Prior to the start of this season, Ladislav Smid was placed on LTIR for the year and the team chose to also bury Brandon Bollig and his one-way contract in the AHL for the season.
I include them though because that's in the spirit of the type of change we're talking about -- on the NHL team one season and then not the next season.
Departures - Year after Year
- 2016-17 (TBD) - D Jyrki Jokipakka...
- 2015-16 (14) - LW Brandon Bollig, RW David Jones, C Derek Grant, D Jakub Nakladal, RW Jiri Hudler, C Joe Colborne, G Jonas Hiller, G Joni Ortio, C Josh Jooris, G Karri Ramo, D Kris Russell, D Ladislav Smid, C Markus Granlund, LW Mason Raymond
- 2014-15 (5) - LW Curtis Glencross, D David Schlemko, C Paul Byron, D Raphael Diaz, LW Sven Baertschi
- 2013-14 (8) - D Chris Butler, G Joey MacDonald, RW Kevin Westgarth, RW Lee Stempniak, C Mike Cammalleri, G Reto Berra, D Shane O'Brien, LW TJ Galiardi
- 2012-13 (9) - LW Alex Tanguay, RW Blake Comeau, D Cory Sarich, RW Jarome Iginla, D Jay Bouwmeester, G Miikka Kiprusoff, LW Roman Cervenka, LW Steve Begin, RW Tim Jackman
- 2011-12 (5) - C Brendan Morrison, LW David Moss, LW Rene Bourque, D Scott Hannan, RW Tom Kostopoulos
As noted, we know there will be at least one player in a new uniform for next season because that player is already gone -- Jyrki Jokipakka was shipped to Ottawa at the trade deadline. But who else has played their last game in the Flaming 'C'?
Here are a dozen players from the organization in which there seems to be the most speculation. With each, I've included why I think they will or won't be back.
1. G Brian Elliott
Age: 32
Contract Status: UFA on July 1, coming off 3Y/$7.5M deal ($2.5M AAV)
For a stretch of two-plus months starting Jan. 26 with a 3-2 overtime win in Ottawa, Elliott finally looked like the goalie the Flames were expected all along when they acquired him from St. Louis back in June. Winning 11 consecutive games at one point, he regained the starter's job he had lost before Christmas and put up some superb numbers. He was particularly sharp in March, which has been a pattern throughout his career. But then the playoffs happened.
In game two in Anaheim, it was two shaky goals allowed in the first seven minutes that put Calgary on its heels. Back home, all of game three was rough. As the Flames blew a 4-1 lead, the worst of the bunch was the soft goal that kickstarted the comeback from a sharp angle late in the second. After that shaky outing, there was uncertainty he'd even get the game four start. He did, but proof that any trust was gone, he was immediately pulled after the Ducks took a 1-0 lead on another bad goal. Three shots faced, just 5:38 into the game, Elliott was yanked. He wore his mask on the bench the rest of the first period.
While he gave the Flames some great goaltending in stretches, that playoff performance that contributed to Calgary begin swept in a series in which you could argue they outplayed Anaheim, has surely left a bitter aftertaste for the front office. Should Calgary re-sign Elliott and face the Ducks in the playoffs again next year, where would the team's confidence be at? He's played Anaheim 16 times in his career and beaten them once -- and that was in his first game against them in 2009.
Gut Feeling: Gone
Unless: Plans for UFA Ben Bishop and any other available established goaltenders (e.g. Marc-Andre Fleury) fall through and the team ends up putting public furore aside and bringing back Elliott. But you know the team likes Bishop as he was their plan 'A' last June.
2. RW Troy Brouwer
Age: 32 in August
Contract Status: 3 years left on 4Y/$18M ($4.5M AAV)
In talking on Friday about the players that helped the team turn around its season in November, coach Glen Gulutzan mentioned Troy Brouwer's name among a few other veterans. Wearing an 'A', which he was given shortly after being signed, he is entrenched as part of this team's leadership group. Those type of qualities were expected from him.
However, also expected was a far greater impact on the ice. When they signed him last July 1, I'm pretty certain there more visions of him playing right wing in the top six rather than on the fourth line, which is where he finished the season and spent the playoffs. In physical games down the stretch against the likes of the Kings and Anaheim, he did not have nearly the impact I expected. Never mind goals, just use your size to lead the push-back. But you rarely saw the physicality and edge that were supposed to be included in the package.
He will be exposed in the expansion draft where one wonders if Vegas GM George McPhee will 'jump' at the opportunity (while perhaps being coaxed by Brad Treliving with the offering of a prospect as added incentive) to bring in a guy he traded for in 2011 when GM of the Washington Capitals. He acquired Brouwer from the Chicago Blackhawks for many of the same reasons Calgary signed him as a free agent on July 1. But he was turning 26 then. Now he'll be turning 32. But leadership will be needed in Vegas as they try to hit the casino floor running. They'll also need some big contracts to reach the salary cap floor. While three years left is a lot, there are more frightening terms out there. What I'm not putting any stock into was Brouwer on Friday declaring that Calgary was his home. We knew that. He was already building a house in Calgary when the Flames signed him. It may be his home alright, but his off-season home.
Gut Feeling: Gone
Unless: McPhee opts to select someone else from Calgary in the expansion draft due to having the same concern about the state of Brouwer's game that fans have and frankly, so did Gulutzan, who was the guy who dropped him to the fourth line.
3. RW Kris Versteeg
2016-17: 69 gm, 15-22-37, minus-3, 47.52 SAT%
Contract Status: UFA on July 1, coming off 1Y/$950K deal
It makes you wonder how Versteeg nearly ended up out of the NHL last season. It was only when he ran into insurance issues regarding some past injuries that he ended up not signing in Switzerland. He signed a tryout with the Oilers, was poached just before the season began by Calgary, who inked him to a one-year deal, and he went out and had a terrific year. He was a key veteran in the dressing room -- he has two Stanley Cup rings -- but also a major contributor on the ice as part of the Flames No. 1 power play unit.
What we know is Versteeg and his young family really enjoyed playing close to home. What we learned is there is still plenty of game left for the veteran, who will be 31 next season. Also, listening to Treliving talk about him on Friday, it's obvious that he's a big fan also. Versteeg was pretty frank also about how much he enjoyed this season, liked playing for Mark Giordano, who he called one of the greatest leaders he's played for. He also talked glowingly about the coaching staff and about the team's bright future.
He won't be as cheap as he was last year but he'll be affordable and the need is definitely there from a Flames perspective. Are there wingers in Stockton ready to be promoted into a top nine role next season? Doubtful. Signing him before the expansion draft won't make sense from a player protection perspective but perhaps shortly after.
Gut Feeling: Back
Unless: Negotiations drag and Versteeg -- looking after his family first, like last summer -- jumps at a different deal from another team in order to lock down an NHL spot and avoid being left twisting in the wind.
4. D Michael Stone
2016-17: 19 gm, 2-4-6, plus-5, 45.74 SAT%
Contract Status: UFA on July 1, coming off 1Y/$4M deal
Stone is an interesting situation as a guy that age-wise should be entering his prime and whose career was on an upwards trajectory before major knee surgery a year ago led to an off year and a perceived drop in his value. For nominal cost, his acquisition from Arizona made sense and it coincided with a red-hot run for the Flames and in particular, improved play from TJ Brodie. Once Stone replaced Dennis Wideman as his D partner, it looked like Brodie finally felt he had the freedom to play his normal, dynamic 200-foot game again knowing he had a reliable guy defensively beside him. Of course, Stone has a connection to Calgary having played with the Hitmen in junior and with his wife -- who just had twins -- being from Calgary too. Plus, there's the connection to Treliving, who was in Arizona when Stone was drafted.
That said, it was the 'having a more reliable D partner' part that helped Brodie. While a capable top four defenceman will be a necessity once again next year, it doesn't need to be Stone, especially if the cost to bring him back is too pricey given other needs (e.g. starting goaltender). There will be other and potentially more inexpensive options. With Brett Kulak knocking on the door, Rasmus Andersson coming soon, Oliver Kylington in the pipeline, Brandon Hickey too, do you want to go long term with a No. 4 D at a potentially hefty price tag? Remember, you already have Giordano, Brodie and Hamilton locked up and taking up a big chunk of cap space. So that's key for me, what is Stone looking for as a 27-year-old free agent (younger than most guys that hit the free market) this summer. Or are you more so looking for someone for just a couple of seasons, to keep the spot warm until one of the aforementioned kids is ready. If the latter, Stone might not be the best fit.
Gut Feeling: Gone
Unless: The market isn't there for Stone and he's willing to settle for a shorter one or two-year deal for less money than he made last year.
5. D Deryk Engelland
2016-17: 81 gm, 4-12-16, plus-2, 46.61 SAT%
Contract Status: UFA on July 1, coming off 3Y/$8.75M deal ($2.9M AAV)
I thought it, I've written it, and on exit day, Engelland admitted it. This season was the best of his career. Coming at age 35 too. Crazy. Who knew when he signed that deal three years ago and was the fan's whipping boy for the early part of it that he would end up endearing himself to the fan base like he has.
It hasn't made him a steal by any means. He's still a third pairing defenceman making close to $3 million and that's not very smart line-up construction in the salary cap world. But for what he gives the team. A physical presence that will step up for anyone, a guy that logs a lot of PK time, a good veteran presence in the room. To his credit, he's turned himself into a guy that you could certainly live with.
That said, if he re-signs with Calgary, it will have to be for far less. That's the reality. I've heard Vegas speculated as a landing spot as that's where he lives in the off-season but while that's a nice thought for Engelland, would Vegas have interest? Not sure a guy at the tail-end of his career makes the most sense for an expansion team that will inevitably be adding plenty of other veterans in the expansion draft to get to the salary cap floor. He said on Friday that Calgary would be one of his top choices and his good relationship with Gulutzan, whom he goes way back with, is surely a consideration. From a stability perspective, having him back for one more season as a veteran third pairing option would work just fine for a team that will have a few changes on the back end.
Gut Feeling: Back
Unless: He wants a two-year term and gets such an offer elsewhere. Would Calgary be willing to go two years with Engelland? Not sure that makes sense.
6. LW Matt Stajan
2016-17: 81 gm, 6-17-23, plus-3, 49.05 SAT%
Contract Status: 1 year left on 4Y/$12.5M deal ($3.125M AAV)
One of the better players early in the season. When you're not in uniform as a healthy scratch when the season comes to an end, that always makes you pause for thought, but Stajan coming out of the line-up for game four versus Anaheim wasn't necessarily a reflection of him looking back but Gulutzan wanting to insert fresh legs. Sure, one available option to the team is you could buy out Stajan if you really felt he had reached the end but then you're paying him over two years. Plus, I think he still contributes enough to be a depth forward.
Much like Engelland, Stajan's wage doesn't jive with what you want on the fourth line in this day and age. It's just far too much money to pay somebody that is playing minimal minutes. That said, you're down to one year left and he truly is a great guy to have in the room for many reasons including the youth at centre, youth which could include Curtis Lazar and Mark Jankowski next year. In his final NHL season, I'd expect him to be a great depth forward. May not play all the time, may play some wing, but is a great mentor for the many young players and a guy that's popular in the room and plays with his heart on his sleeve.
Gut Feeling: Back
Unless: Treliving feels the $1.3 million the team would save on the 2017-18 salary cap through a buy-out would be worth the $666K penalty they'd have to incur towards the cap in 2018-19.
7. G Chad Johnson
2016-17: 36 starts, 18-15-1, 2.59 GAA, .910 SV%
Contract Status: UFA on July 1, coming off 1Y/$1.7M deal
In pursuit of an opportunity for more playing time and a shot to be a No. 1 goalie, Johnson has relocated NHL teams each of the last six summers. That has to be getting old.
As someone who grew up in this city, who married a girl from Calgary, tying the knot a week before signing with the Flames last July 1, there's obviously a fit to be had for him. He's about to turn 31, he's not coming off the type of year that is going to get him a No. 1 job anywhere else so why not Calgary?
When he went on a tear last November and December, he showed that he can play every day. Whether he can play 55-60 games, we may never know. If Calgary does pursue Bishop, who has an injury history, Johnson would be a great guy to pair him with given his ability to step in and run with the ball for a few weeks if needed.
Gut Feeling: Back
Unless: With goaltending on the way, Calgary is reluctant to offer term of more than a year. If Johnson does get a two-year offer from another team, he may prefer that added security.
8. D Brett Kulak
2016-17: 21 gm, 0-3-3, minus-3, 50.58 SAT%
Contract Status: RFA on July 1, coming off 3Y,/$2.45M ELC ($817K AAV, $70K in AHL)
At times early in the year, Kulak looked like a guy that should be put in the line-up and kept in the line-up. A guy that could definitely play on the third pairing, who some day could evolve into a second pairing guy. He skates well enough. He can defend. He does a little bit of everything. But just as you think he's here for good, his play falters a little bit and down to the minors he goes. I should add though that jettisoning him to Stockton this season was easy for the Flames as he was not waiver-eligible. Next season, he will be waiver-eligible.
With Wideman gone, potentially Stone and Engelland both gone also, there will be spots available on the blueline. From what we've seen and how he's been used, Kulak is the most ready of any of the prospects so after a summer of potentially significant change, next year could be the season he breaks through.
Gut Feeling: Back
Unless: Vegas likes Kulak's upside too and poaches him in the expansion draft. In selecting 30 players, one from every club, not all will be experienced NHL players, Vegas will need some that are young but high on potential.
9. D Tyler Wotherspoon
2016-17: 4 gm, 0-0-0, minus-2, 46.48 SAT%
Contract Status: RFA on July 1, coming off 1Y/$625K deal
He was the next in line on the blue-line for the longest time but his stock has fallen significantly since he made his NHL debut four years ago and played 14 games late in the season. In the three seasons since, he's played only 16 NHL games and has been passed on the depth chart by guys like Kulak. Even though he continues to be deployed as one of Ryan Huska's most relied upon defenders in Stockton -- and he has reportedly had a great season -- you really do start to wonder if his time with the organization is coming to an end.
Last year, he agreed to a one-year deal for near the league minimum. It was supposed to make him an affordable option and increase the odds of him sticking in the NHL this season. That never happened. He could be the Kenny Agostino of this off-season. Someone, who can definitely contribute at the AHL level but at age 24, if the organization has determined that's all he will ever do, it's time to move on and open up playing time and a contract spot for other, younger players.
Gut Feeling: Gone
Unless: Calgary loses Kulak in the expansion draft and they opt to hang onto Wotherspoon for one more season as organizational depth.
2016-17: 81 gm, 12-12-24, minus-6, 52.03 SAT%
Contract Status: RFA on July 1, coming off 1Y/$800K deal
I've learned that two things will drive a fan crazy. The first is a player that is overpaid for what he contributes. This was not Chiasson. The second is when a player is deployed in a role that is above his skill grade. This was Chiasson and for half the season as Gulutzan -- very familiar with the player from his time coaching him in Dallas -- stubbornly kept deploying him on the No. 1 line alongside Monahan and Gaudreau. Not only was it not working, but it seemed to negatively impact the other two, who are core players on the team and never got going until Chiasson was off their line.
The sweet spot for Chiasson is a bottom-six role and it was when he was used in that capacity that you finally had a useful player, who put up decent numbers with a dozen goals. The issue for the Flames is he's arbitration eligible this off-season so Treliving is back in that Lance Bouma/Joe Colborne situation again. Given how signing Bouma didn't work out, and walking away from Colborne did work out, I'd think that if Treliving has learned anything, there's a decent chance that Chiasson is not qualified with Calgary not wanting to ante up the $1.5 or $2 million he might be awarded if you go to arbitration.
Gut Feeling: Gone
Unless: Chiasson likes the set up in Calgary, enjoys playing for Gulutzan, and agrees to a deal at an affordable number to bring him back as a bottom six winger, who can kill penalties.
2016-17: 61 gm, 3-4-7, minus-2, 46.63 SAT%
Contract Status: 1 year left on 3Y/$6.6M ELC ($2.2M)
Any hope Bouma might get back to his form from 2014-15 -- or anywhere close -- went out the window this season when Matthew Tkachuk locked up the left wing spot with dynamic duo Mikael Backlund and Michael Frolik. It was on a line with Backlund two years ago that Bouma racked up career-highs in goals (16) and points (34) that he has yet to equal if you add up all of his other five seasons.
Bouma plays an energetic, physical style, who is not bad in a checking role and can give you minutes on the penalty kill. That makes him a serviceable depth player. The problem is his scoring touch has evaporated entirely. He has five goals in the last two seasons. For what he's earning, having cashed in on that one big year, you need more. That, or you want someone else in that role that can make similar or greater contributions at half the price. Versteeg, for example, made less than half of what Bouma earned last season.
Lance Bouma— Darren Haynes (@DarrenWHaynes) April 22, 2017
- 2014-15 season: 16-18-34, plus-10 (in 78 gm)
- Other five seasons: 11-22-33, minus-18 (in 226 gm)
Two words: Mikael Backlund
Gut Feeling: Back
Unless: Treliving can work some magic and include him as part of a larger trade over the summer. The other option is a buyout, which historically Calgary has done only rarely as paying players to not play has never been something the organization has been high on. Plus, they'll still be paying $1M for Mason Raymond next season. But it's possible. It would knock Bouma's cap hit down to $666K next season with an additional $766K charged to the cap in 2018-19.
12. D Dennis Wideman
2016-17: 57 gm, 5-13-18, minus-6, 49.91 SAT%
Contract Status: UFA on July 1, coming off 5Y/$26.25M deal ($5.25M AAV)
All season Gulutzan preached that he wanted his team to play fast. As the slowest player on the team, Wideman does not have that ability. His heavy shot is one of his best attributes, but he was not used on the power play. He ran out the clock on the five-year contract given to him by former GM Jay Feaster by playing on the third pairing whenever he did get in the line-up.
He was a $5.25 million healthy scratch for all four playoff games and 18 of the final 23 games of the regular season. Clearing that money off the books has been a long time coming for a team that has other needs to address.
Gut Feeling: Gone
Unless: Unless nothing. Now the subject of a lawsuit from linesman Don Henderson, Wideman's time in Calgary is over. So might his time in the NHL.

Omega 3 Fish Oils 1000mg 90 caps
A blend of high quality Fish Oils, such as Mackerel, Salmon, Herring and Sardines, which are taken for their Omega 3 fatty Acids (EPA & DHA). Omega 3 fatty acids are essential nutrients but cannot be made by the body, so they must be obtained from food. These essential fatty acids help prevent the formation of Triglycerides in the blood, stopping the blood from clotting which can help prevent heart disease and heart attacks. If taken regularly can protect the heart and vascular system and is invaluable in nerve and heart muscle function. Fish Oil containing EPA and DHA also has an anti-inflammatory action and improves mobility in the joints, where arthritis is a problem. Omega 3 fatty acids are an excellent internal cosmetic, they help keep skin soft and supple and aid in the treatment of eczema, acne and psoriasis. Fish Oil has also been shown to help brain function, depression and stop food cravings. Studies have shown fish oil is useful in helping with Dyslexia and hyperactivity.

Church At The Well
Burlington, VT
Church at the Well is a non-denominational church in Burlington, VT. Our mission statement is to "Reintroduce Jesus in Vermont". In John 4 Jesus engages with a Samaritan woman at a well. She is introduced to a Jesus who crosses barriers to communicate God's love for her, to challenge her, and to offer her living water. She is then compelled to introduce her entire village to Jesus, the Messiah. We strive to continually be reintroduced to Jesus and then reintroduce our communities to Jesus.
RE-INTRODUCING JESUS IN VERMONT: Cultivating a fresh conversation around the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Everything we do at The Well funnels through our Church vision statement: Re-introducing Jesus In Vermont. We've chosen four primary ways to Re-Introduce Jesus, and each one is a reflection of our community, representing who we are. Of course, they are aspirational in nature, so we don't always succeed at expressing them fully. Still, they are the heartbeat of our community– these are what we're all about.
Re-Introducing Jesus Through WORSHIP – We believe that worship is so much more than a time on Sunday morning. Worship is something we do with our whole lives! We hope that our worship not only makes sense to those around us, but is also inviting and compelling. As a church, we aim for our worship to naturally reflect our culture. If Church At The Well feels like Vermont, that's a good thing.
Re-Introducing Jesus Through SERVICE – We believe that a healthy church is one that is always serving and reaching out. As soon as we become focused on ourselves and our own needs, we begin losing our vitality. While we do provide various serving opportunities, more importantly, we aspire to nourish a culture of serving. Jesus came to earth as a servant, and we believe Church should not be a place where we merely consume but instead, a community where we actively contribute.
Re-Introducing Jesus Through COMMUNITY – We believe that church is a family, so we encourage an environment of care and connection. The local Church should be a place where we are supported, embraced, encouraged, and challenged to become everything God intended us to be. We also believe that a healthy church community should be dynamic and not static. A healthy organism is always experiencing new life, growth, and change.
Re-Introducing Jesus Through CREATIVITY – As a church, we strive to cultivate an ethos of creativity. While it's true that not everyone is artistic, we do believe that everyone is creative! The God we worship is a Creator, and we are made in His image, so we take creativity seriously here at The Well. We also have the privilege not only to enjoy His creation, but also to care for it. When we foster and value creativity—our creativity and God's–we Re-Introduce Jesus.
