Best Ways to Overcome the Breakup Blues

Filed in rightmove winchester Leave a comment

Breakups are never fun but they are often necessary to get to the place in life where you belong. although you may believe that there are brighter days in your future, it does not make the present any less painful. You do not have to spend weeks locked in a dark room in order to overcome this obstacle. Here are ten baby steps to assist you out of your breakup rut.

1. Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia – ok, so you don’t want to go overboard with the indulgences, but go ahead and enjoy some good old fashion comfort foods.

2. Cry – there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a good cry. let it out, scream at the universe, whatever gets it off your chest.

3. Treat Yourself – Go shopping, get a manicure, visit your favorite restaurant. Now is the ideal time to treat yourself well.

4. Bury the Nostalgia – it is not necessary to burn everything associated with your ended relationship, but tuck it away. out of site and out of mind.

5. Rekindle Relationships – Call up some friends you may not have spoken with for a while. Sometimes friendships get neglected in these situations. let your friends be there for you, both to lean on and as a distraction.

6. Avoid the Rebound – it is never a good idea to try and substitute one relationship with another. it is unfair to all parties involved.

7. Look for the Silver Lining – Focus on the good things. Look for any good thing, even the smallest will make a difference.

8. Volunteer – Move you focus outside of yourself. doing good for others will boost your self-esteem and give you a good perspective on life. there is always someone out there that is going through something far tougher that what you are facing at the moment.

9. Be optimistic – Approaching life with a good attitude will radically alter the course of your life. truly believing life will get better is a self-fulfilling prophesy.

10. Give yourself a Pep Talk – there is no person’s voice you hear more often than your own. Talk your self through the hard times and you will be just fine.

Math v. Mood is a constant at the tables and in the forums. you will attract trolls strongly supporting either method. When we learn we tend toward supporting the math side. And that is the best place to start. It is a foundation. Buildings and players need that. but, like the foundation for a new house, it is just the starting point.

For poker the foundation always remains a work in process. you can design a solid foundation for a bungalow. That is a static objective. for poker, the build is more like mrs. Winchester’s Mystery Mansion. We need to always be adding on.

I’ve played SnGs, MTTs, and a mix of ring games. the common belief is that each is autonomous. you can play ring or tournament with one much better or worse. there is a bit of truth there but it is far from definitive. as we build a skill set, part will always translate. the better players pick up on that. Too many of us miss at least part of that. as a result we aren’t as adaptable. Brittleness in poker is fatal.

Early on, I had yes and no answers. I could discuss a hand history or situation in a black and white manner. Today, I have problems even finding the shade of gray. the problem of unintended consequences keep jumping onto the table. answers seem to always come with a new question.

Another – and popular – difference is ‘luck’ or the lack. We’ve a thread on that in the forum at the moment. Datasets always contain outliers. Living or playing within a standard deviation or two is most of our lot. We all are temporary outliers. We get a rush and then it leaves. Statistics say that should balance and put us back in standard deviation land.

So, am I lucky? “Well, are you, punk?” You’ve got me. Today on PokerStars, I got rolled up aces and had the board pair 7’s. It was against a guy who made a set of queens on 5th street and made it obvious. He managed to fill the boat too. I/we got aggressive and the pot was much nicer than normal expectations. I was lucky at multiple levels. Yesterday, I played a set of 5’s and rivered the one outer while he filled his boat. That was against a guy who made a set of jacks when I made the 5’s. I was super lucky. Yet, the week hasn’t been at all kind. I watched some horrid outdrawing. My decent hands were leading 6th street and going down in flames on 7th. I lost my butt this week. but, how much of that was my fault? Part always is!

An example of what happens of our own making is getting that nice starting hand of AA. Stud makes a great example but it translate to a degree. Playing lower limits is a loose structure. the idea with a strong hand it to bet/raise it. When you do and get multiple callers, you’ve created a pot that prices in all drawing hands – even some really weak one. you have created the structure of your failure. do I follow the rule to always raise? No, it is table dependent and even that isn’t that clear a choice. those who don’t recognize that and had the AA will now fill the chat with **** you comments.

I wish I had answers – for myself and you. there are blogs and forums galore that purport to have the answer at least on a temporary basis. but, informed decision making doesn’t exist at the tables. the line between what some might call a donkey move and a great read are murky at best. one day we recognize the appropriate difference and the next we fail using the same scheme that worked then. Yes, that’s poker; but that’s also why we enjoy the challenge it presents.

ADDENDUM:

I like to read Bayne_S’ blog. He details his final hand in a PokerStars Tourney. He a solid (better) player that enjoy playing well above where I play but, I really read him because he’s a nice guy and his blog demonstrates both features the link will bring you to a hand he calls “the sickest” and it does meet one qualification. It includes a losing player’s bad beat story. but, it also fulfills almost every cliché moment in blogdom.

(Must read HH for full flavor – click on his blog above)

This was the final hand with 3 equal payouts of big W$ bucks. there are classic HH debate solutions to the meaning of life with the hand; but it isn’t that sick in a bad beat sense. the table holds 5 players and it is a 4-way all in. the weakest stack gets to watch four people put him in the money in one-fell-swoop. We of course have an AA present in the mix and getting crushed. the constant debate about ever folding AA comes closest to being answered in this situation. He’s possibly/probably in the money without playing the hand.

Bayne_S situation may not be ‘the sickest’ but it is a classic. you have a great read on a guy and a hand like that. you raise to isolate and get callers — not caller but callers. you go from the elated rightness of your move to angst and depression. And that was the right move — angst not the raising. I know enough about Bayne to know he’d have recognized that he was likely one seat away from making the money after the hand. And he’s a player quite capable of laying down QQ with the right opportunity to do so. That wasn’t there though only because of position. He knows all about position and the moment placed him with the worst position at the table and the second best hand.

Sickest would have been the short stacked AK holding A7s. It was sick for the third best preflop hand to win. but sickest would be A7s as it played out. as an alternative, you could mix the community cards in a whole series of changing leads. A lead change on each card dealt would have just as sick.

Would have made great TV though. Vince would have been beside himself saying, ‘wired pair’ — ad infinitum. It could have put him in an endless loop. Sexton, then, could have out-zenned the Buddha discussing the Cadillac of Poker. And Bayne could have stood up and shook the winner’s hand and outclichéd them all muttering, “That’s poker.”

Continuing my look at the NHL going into the 2010-11 season.  Today I take a snapshot of the Northeast division.  Conference rankings are listed in brackets next to the team.

Ottawa Senators (5th)Roster losses: Matt Cullen (UFA – Minnesota, 81-48), Anton Volchenkov (UFA – New Jersey, 64-14), Jonathan Cheechoo (buyout, 61-14), Andy Sutton (UFA – Anaheim, 72-13), Shean Donovan (UFA, 30-5)Roster additions: Sergei Gonchar (UFA Pittsburgh)Prospect signings: Roman Wick (37-31 NLA), Bobby Butler (39-53 NCAA), Colin Greening (34-35 NCAA), Patrick Wiercioch (39-27 NCAA), Robin Lehner (2.80, 0.918 OHL), Mike Hoffman (56-85 QMJHL), Corey Cowick (27-21 OHL), David Dziurzynski (57-74 BCHL)Forwards: Daniel Alfredsson (70-71), Jason Spezza (60-57), Mike Fisher (79-53), Alexei Kovalev (77-49), Milan Michalek (66-34), Chris Kelly (81-32), Peter Regin (75-29), Jarkko Ruutu (82-26), Nick Foligno (61-26), Chris Neil (68-22), Ryan Shannon (66-16), Jesse Winchester (52-13)Defence: Sergei Gonchar (62-50), Filip Kuba (53-28), Erik Karlsson (60-26), Chris Phillips (82-24), Chris Campoli (67-18), Matt Carkner (81-11)Goaltenders: Pascal Leclaire (3.20, 0.887, 34-12-14-2), Brian Elliott (2.57, 0.909, 55-29-18-4)Injuries: Filip KubaStrengths: depthWeaknesses: goaltendingAnalysis: poorly regarded going into last season, they did enough to make the playoffs.  the core of the team saw only two significant changes–the loss of Volchenkov and signing of Gonchar.  the organisation has added a lot of depth the past two seasons as it recovers from John Muckler’s drafting, finally having options for injury-recall and to create internal competition.  There’s no reason not to expect Ottawa to make the playoffs again.

Boston Bruins (6th)Roster losses: Dennis Wideman (T – Florida, 76-30), Miroslav Satan (UFA – Slovakia Extraliga, 39-14), Steve Begin (UFA, 77-14), Vladimir Sobotka (UFA – Stl, 61-10)Roster additions: Nathan Horton (T Florida), Gregory Campbell (T Florida)Prospect signings: Yuri Alexandrov (56-21 KHL), Joe Colborne (39-41 NCAA), Steven Kampfer (45-26 NCAA), Tyler Seguin (63-106 OHL), Michael Hutchinson (2.86, 0.913 OHL), Jordan Caron (43-53 QMJHL), Maxime Sauve (25-35 QMJHL)Forwards: Nathan Horton (65-57), Patrice Bergeron (73-52), David Krejci (79-52), Mark Recchi (81-43), Blake Wheeler (82-38), Marco Sturm (76-37), Michael Ryder (82-33), Marc Savard (41-33), Milan Lucic (50-20), Daniel Paille (76-20), Gregory Campbell (60-17), Shawn Thornton (74-10)Defence: Zdeno Chara (80-44), Dennis Seidenberg (79-32), Johnny Boychuk (51-15), Matt Hunwick (76-14), Andrew Ference (51-8), Mark Stuart (56-7)Goaltenders: Tuuka Rask (1.97, 0.931, 45-22-12-5), Tim Thomas (2.56, 0.915, 43-17-18-8)Injuries: Marc Savard, Marco SturmStrengths: defensive play, goaltendingWeaknesses: scoring, puck-moving defensemenAnalysis: the Bruins could not score this past season, but played well enough to make a run in the playoffs.  They are hoping that the addition of Nathan Horton and a return to form from players like Sturm and Ryder will overcome their offensive issues.  I’m not sure going with Seidenberg over Wideman is the right move; if it doesn’t work out, the Bruins blueline isn’t going to contribute much to the offence.  Regardless, Boston will make the playoffs.

Buffalo Sabres (3rd)Roster losses: Raffi Torres (UFA – Vancouver, 74-36), Tim Kennedy (buyout - New York Rangers, 78-26), Toni Lydman (UFA – Anaheim, 67-20), Henrik Tallinder (UFA – New Jersey, 82-20), Adam Mair (UFA, 69-14)Roster additions: Rob Niedermayer (UFA NJ), Jordan Leopold (UFA Pittsburgh), Shaone Morrisonn (UFA Washington)Prospect signings: Alex Biega (33-10 NCAA), Nick Crawford (68-70 OHL), Jacob Lagace (60-73 QMJHL)Forwards: Derek Roy (80-69), Tim Connolly (73-65), Jason Pominville (82-62), Thomas Vanek (73-51), Jochen Hecht (79-42), Drew Stafford (71-34), Paul Gaustad (65-22), Rob Niedermayer (71-22), Mike Grier (73-22), Patrick Kaleta (55-15), Matt Ellis (72-13), Cody McCormick (66-29 AHL)Defence: Tyler Myers (82-48), Jordan Leopold (81-26), Steve Montador (78-23), Chris Butler (59-21), Craig Rivet (78-15), Shaone Morrisonn (68-12), Andrej Sekera (49-11)Goaltenders: Ryan Miller (2.22, 0.929, 69-41-18-8), Patrick Lalime (2.81, 0.907, 16-4-8-2)Injuries: Craig RivetStrengths: goaltending, forward depthWeaknesses: puck-moving defenseman, backup goalie, sizeAnalysis: the Sabres shed a little depth in the off-season, but will hope just like last year that Ryan Miller can be brilliant enough to get them into the playoffs.  I think they made a mistake bringing back Patrick Lalime, whose mediocrity puts more stress on Miller to play.  however, barring a significant injury to Miller, the Sabres will make the playoffs.

Montreal Canadiens (8th)Roster losses: Marc-Andre Bergeron (UFA, 60-34), Glen Metropoli (UFA – NLA, 69-29), Sergei Kostitsyn (T – Nashville, 47-18), Dominic Moore (UFA – Tampa Bay, 69-28), Paul Mara (UFA – Anaheim, 42-8), Jaroslav Halak (T – St. Louis, 2.40, 0.924, 45-26-13-5)Roster additions: Dustin Boyd (T Nashville), Lars Eller (T St. Louis), Alex Auld (UFA New York Rangers), Jeff Halpern (UFA Los Angeles)Prospect signings: Alexander Avtsin (30-9 KHL), Andreas Engqvist (55-26 SEL), Kyle Klubertanz (55-31 SEL), Brendon Nash (33-19 NCAA), Hunter Bishop (33-27 NCAA), Philippe Lefebvre (66-55 QMJHL), Gabriel Dumont (62-93 QMJHL), Ian Schultz (70-55 WHL)Forwards: Tomas Plekanec (82-70), Scott Gomez (78-59), Mike Cammalleri (65-50), Brian Gionta (61-46), Andrei Kostitsyn (59-33), Benoit Pouliot (53-28), Dustin Boyd (78-24), Jeff Halpern (71-19), Travis Moen (81-19), Maxim Lapierre (76-14), Max Pacioretty (52-14), Mathieu Darche (29-10), Tom Pyatt (40-5), Lars Eller (70-57 AHL)Defence: Andrei Markov (45-34), Roman Hamrlik (75-26), Jaroslav Spacek (74-21), Hal Gill (68-11), Josh Gorges (82-10), Ryan O’Byrne (55-4), P. K. Subban (77-53 AHL)Goaltenders: Carey Price (2.77, 0.912, 41-13-20-5), Alex Auld (2.96, 0.895, 24-9-7-3)Injuries: Andrei Markov, Roman HamrlikStrengths: forward depthWeaknesses: goaltending, puck-moving blueliners, sizeAnalysis: Bob Gainey’s gamble on small players worked last year, as the Habs squeezed into the playoffs and made a surprising run on the back of Halak’s goaltending.  Halak is gone now, but essentially the same core is in place, so success seems reliant on Carey Price.  I think it’s unlikely the team will be able to slip back into the post-season.

Toronto Maple Leafs (15th)Roster losses: Viktor Stalberg (T – Chicago, 40-14), Jamie Lundmark (UFA – Nashville, 36-12), Rickard Wallin (UFA – SEL, 60-9), Wayne Primeau (UFA, 59-8), Garnett Exelby (UFA, 51-4)Roster additions: Kris Versteeg (T Chicago), Clarke MacArthur (UFA Atlanta), Colby Armstrong (UFA Pittsburgh), Brett Lebda (UFA Detroit), Mike Brown (T Anaheim)Prospect signings: Marcel Muller (53-56 DEL), Korbinian Holzer (52-22 DEL), Jussi Rynnas (2.50, 0.929 SM-Liiga), Brayden Irwin (39-34 NCAA), Simon Gysbers (38-15 NCAA), Jerry D’Amigo (35-34 NCAA), Nazem Kadri (56-93 OHL), Jesse Blacker (57-33 OHL), Jamie Devane (51-14 OHL), Mikhail Stefanovich (53-68 QMJHL)Forwards: Phil Kessel (70-55), Kris Versteeg (79-44), Nikolai Kulemin (78-36), Mikhail Grabovski (59-35), Clarke MacArthur (81-35), Colby Armstrong (79-29), Tyler Bozak (37-27), John Mitchell (60-23), Fredrik Sjostrom (65-11), Luca Caputi (23-8), Christian Hanson (31-7), Mike Brown (75-7), Colton Orr (82-6)Defence: Tomas Kaberle (82-49), Dion Phaneuf (81-32), Francois Beauchemin (82-26), Luke Schenn (79-17), Carl Gunnarsson (43-15), Jeff Finger (39-10), Mike Komisarek (34-4)Goaltenders: Jonas Gustavsson (2.87, 0.902, 42-16-15-9), J. S. Giguere (2.85, 0.907, 35-10-15-7)Strengths: defence corpsWeaknesses: scoring, overall defensive play, youthAnalysis: after moving eight roster players during the season, Brian Burke shed four more in the off-season.  over half of the Leafs top-scorers from last year are gone, replaced by third line players like Armstrong and MacArthur.  Versteeg was a good pick-up, but is another small player added to the top-six (like Grabovski and Kessel).  the defence corps is overcrowded, but should be better than last year.  I don’t believe Giguere is going to be as much of an upgrade over Toskala as many believe.  This version of the Leafs won’t be much better than last years.

Time Team at Governors Green « Daly History Blog

Filed in rightmove winchester Leave a comment

Well Time Team last night didn’t disappoint. or rather, it did – but it was so disappointing from a historical point of view, it didnt disappoint my premonitions!

The expressed aim of the programme was to uncover the history of the medieval Hospital at the Governors Green area of old Portsmouth, adjoining what is now known as the Garrison Church, which has its origins as part of the Hospital complex. known originally as Domus Dei, or God’s House, the Hospital was razed in 1540 during Henry VIII’s disolution of the monasteries. The chapel survived, however, and the adjoining land was used to build the Governors House.

The concept of a medieval hospital is very different from our image of operating theatres, accident and emergency et al. Medieval hospitals did exactly what they said on the tin – provided hospitality in a godly setting and manner. In particular pilgrims would use hospitals during their travels to shrines – such as nearby Winchester of Chichester, and places further afield such as Santiago de Compostela in Spain. they have a very rich and interesting social history, particularly in a port such as Portsmouth, a place that was so important to the defence of the realm too.

The feeling I had from the programme was that the team had not done their research properly at all. they were speculating about things that we already knew about, if only they had bothered to listen to people who tried to tell them! The geophysical survey told us everything that we needed to know, namely that there is an impressive range of buildings under Governors Green, and with some clever use of maps, documents and overlays it shouldnt take too much to interpret them, without the need for digging. I’m also surprised that they thought they could overlay an old tudor map on the current OS map without any errors at all – of course there are going to be anomalies. How you make such a cock-up in the most mapped town in the kingdom is beyond me.

What’s also disappointing, is that Time Team found plenty of interesting 18th Century finds, such as military uniform buttons and clay pipes, but these weren’t shown in the programme – probably because the aim of the programme was to look at the medieval hospital. Yet it would also have been interesting to find out more about Portsmouth’s history as a garrison town. all of the finds, incidentally, have been handed over to Portsmouth City Museums and Records Service, as the local Museum.

Predictably we also had the ubiquitous Portsmouth Grammar School kids turning up in their blazers, as always happens when anything of any significance happens in Portsmouth. You would think there aren’t any other schools in the city. a chance to involve other young people in Portsmouth’s history was missed.

So, essentially, much research, three days digging, much expertise and resources were spent telling us that what we already knew was there, was in fact, actually there all along! I’m really not sure what the programme achieved at all. It seems to be more about the programme than any kind of historical importance. Don’t get me wrong, Time Team have done some fascinating things over the years, and I used to love it when I was younger, but finding out about how the programme works behind the scenes has been kind of like meeting your idols, only to feel let down.

If anyone would like some light entertainment, Time Team at Governors Green can be watched on Channel 4 On Demmand here.

Black Dog Hates Skunks: A Third Way

Filed in rightmove winchester Leave a comment


With a month to go before the deadline and the Oilers treading water the question has become buy or sell. With Staios’ return this is suddenly a far more competitive team and the guess here is the same as its been for a while – this team is going to hang around. There will be no freefall. in other words Lowe is going to have to make a tough decision. Does he tear it down? or does he go for it?Knowing Lowe he will not wave the white flag unless this team falls apart. its possible but unlikely.But what has been ignored amongst the questions of who would go if they sell (Smyth, Smith, Sykora, Markannen, Tjarnqvist etc) and who would come in if they buy (Stuart, Dvorak, Brewer, Tkachuk etc) is the third possibility.That Lowe takes stock of his team and does what he does in 2003 – make some moves that may be unpopular but turn out to be alright. Remember the uproar when he moved Niinimaa and Carter? Well Carter has become Brent Ashton, new team every year, and Janne, well, poor Janne is pretty well done. Seems Lowe made the right move moving him while he could despite the unpopularity of it.Coming the Oilers’ way – two years plus of Dvorak and a year and a half of Cory Cross for Carter and Torres and Isbister for Janne.Not a home run but I think the Carter deal was a win and if you look at how Janne has fallen to pieces you might say the second deal was as well. Isbister was a disaster, one of those guys like Cleary or Kilger who everyone waited on to blossom but he never even made it to that level. but Raffi is a useful player.I’m thinking we may see more of the same this spring. I think Lowe has identified who he is keeping and who he is willing to move.Staying for sure: Horcoff, Hemsky, Stoll, Pisani, Moreau, Thoresen, Stortini, Staios, Smid, RolosonProbably staying: Smyth, Torres, Reasoner, Hejda, GreeneGone: Winchester, MarkannenStaying or going?: Sykora, Tjarnqvist, Bergeron, Smith We’re not going to see Bergeron and Smith going for a couple of UFAs, like that ridiculous rumour out of Boston but Smith is a definite possibility to move. the reasons – his contract. Whoever picks him up gets him for two years at a reasonable price. and the Janne factor. When Gator declines it could be fast and ugly. I love Smith but can you get on board with him getting four years at big money next summer? He’s got a lot of miles on him. I could see him get moved to a team for either a Stuart (UFA who agrees to a contract before the trade) or a younger Dman ready to step into a bigger role. (less likely – would have to be a legitimate contender with a closing window – San Jose? Anaheim? Buffalo? Ottawa?) We’ll see – I can see Lowe making this type of a move, while selling Sykora for a prospect he likes while moving a prospect for a replacement for Sykora. Move another pick or prospect for a depth Dman. Lateral moves. Try and improve. Selling and buying at the same time.

Style and Sports: How the Wild rank up before the season opener

Filed in rightmove winchester Leave a comment

Adam Proteau with Hockey News gives his insight to the Northwest division as far as how he believes the teams should be ranked this season. this Wild fan believes the Wild should definitely be ranked higher than the fourth out of this group, but we are seated within a very tough division, and with the way we ended the post-season last year, it seems that the Wild really are going to have to step up to prove that they deserve to make it to the playoffs this year and that they really want to bring that big silver cup home to Minnesota.
Before I get into the Northwest preview, let me say this division is by far the toughest to call. In my mind, four of the five teams could finish anywhere from atop the division to out of the playoffs. still, THN pays me to have an opinion, so here goes nuthin’:Northwest Division (in predicted order of finish)



Calgary Flames



Coming: Adrian Aucoin, Anders Eriksson, Owen Nolan, Cory Sarich 
Going: Tony Amonte, Brad Ference, Jeff Friesen, Mark Giordano, Roman Hamrlik, Darren McCarty, Jamie McLennan, Byron Ritchie, Brad Stuart, Andrei ZyuzinWhy 1st? Because this is precisely the type of veteran team new coach Mike Keenan can succeed with. with the exception of multiple-Norris-Trophy-winner-in-the-making Dion Phaneuf, the top six members of their reconstituted and improved defense corps all have at least seven NHL seasons under their belt, and although their forward unit has only four players coming off of 70-point campaigns, many believed more than a few of them underachieved. Undoubtedly, much of their success will depend on Miikka Kiprusoff, but even in the so-called “off-year” he had last season, the Finn had 40 wins, a 2.46 goals-against average and a .917 save percentage. I know a lot of netminders who’d cut off the left portion of their protective cup for those numbers.



Vancouver Canucks

Coming: Brad Isbister, Aaron Miller, Byron Ritchie, Curtis Sanford, Ryan ShannonGoing: Jan Bulis, Marc Chouinard, Rory Fitzpatrick, Wade Flaherty, Lee Goren, Josh Green, Brad Moran, Dany Sabourin, Tommi Santala, Brent Sopel, Yannick Tremblay Why 2nd? Because, for as outstanding as Roberto Luongo was in carrying Vancouver to the regular-season division title last year, other Northwest teams have improved (at least, on paper) at a greater rate than the Canucks did this summer.That doesn’t mean I don’t think the addition of Aaron Miller wasn’t one of the more underappreciated moves of the off-season. but, as everyone who saw them eke out 2-1 win after 3-2 win last year, this team needs more offense if it hopes to contend for a Stanley Cup. And I’m sorry, Canucks fans, but you and I both know Brad Isbister, Byron Ritchie and Ryan Shannon are not the second coming of Alfredsson, Spezza and Heatley.

Colorado Avalanche

Coming: Scott Hannan, Jeff Jillson, Dale Purinton, Ryan Smyth 

Going: Patrice Brisebois, Ken Klee, Antti Laaksonen, Brett McLean, Mark Rycroft, Pierre Turgeon, Ossi Vaananen 

Why 3rd? Because the additions of Smyth and Hannan represent a significant, performance-enhancing needle in the arm for a franchise transitioning toward younger players such as Paul Stastny, Wojtek Wolski and John-Michael Liles.The Avs certainly have their share of trouble spots, including a defense corps that appears to be decidedly average, and a salary-cap-eating backup goaltender whose confidence can only be found on the back of milk cartons in convenience stores across the continent.those factors used to mean a lot in my ranking of Colorado as a non-playoff team. with Hannan and Smyth amping up the franchise’s heart-and-soul quotient – as well as its pitiful penalty kill in ’06-07 – those factors don’t seem nearly so worrisome anymore. If goalie Peter Budaj can match his play over the final five weeks of last season, the Avs will be playoff-bound once again.

Minnesota Wild

Coming: Eric Belanger, Sean Hill, Petr Kalus, Andre Lakos, Nolan Schaefer

Going: Manny Fernandez, Adam Hall, Wyatt Smith 

Why 4th? Because…well, to be honest, I had a tough time with ranking an above-par team like the Wild second-last in their division. there really is a lot to like here – most notably, the superior on-ice talent that is Marian Gaborik and brimming-with-promise youngsters such as forwards Pierre-Marc Bouchard, defenseman Brent Burns, and goalie Josh Harding. If Gaborik stays healthy and newly-anointed no. 1 netminder Niklas Backstrom plays to the level he did last year, the Wild could very well win the Northwest.What nags at me most with GM Doug Risebrough’s plan is this: he’s brought back the same group of players that basically laid down and got steamrolled by Anaheim in the first round of the playoffs last spring. If there’s any residual psychological hangover from that humiliation, the Wild could dig themselves an early-season hole that most NHL teams have found impossible to dig out of thanks to the division-heavy schedule.I’m not saying that’s definitely going to happen, but the potential for a step backwards is definitely there. And when you consider how tough Minnesota’s divisional opponents are, even the slightest slip could mean the difference between them enjoying a return to the playoffs and premature golf season.

Edmonton Oilers

Coming: Mathieu Garon, Denis Grebeshkov, Dustin Penner, Joni Pitkanen, Geoff Sanderson, Sheldon Souray, Dick TarnstromGoing: Jan Hejda, Joffrey Lupul, Jussi Markkanen, Petr Nedved, Toby Petersen, Jason Smith, Petr Sykora, Daniel Tjarnqvist, Brad Winchester

Why 5th? Because let’s face it – everyone who is hired to work at The Hockey News has to swear an oath that they despise the Oilers and will do everything in their power to bash them.(Just kiddin’, people. put your angry email trigger finger away and lighten up a little.)The truth is, I’ve developed a newfound respect for GM Kevin Lowe over the last half-year or so. Sure, he blew his chance to re-sign Ryan Smyth when he could’ve in the summer of 2006; but he had no reservations about dealing Smyth when it became clear he couldn’t re-sign him. Despite the late-season freefall that followed Smyth’s departure, it absolutely was the right move for the franchise.Lowe got even bolder after that, morphing into the Jack Sparrow of the NHL’s GM community this summer with his attempts at raiding the rosters of the competition. He failed to land Buffalo’s Thomas Vanek, but still came away with a nice building block in former Duck Dustin Penner. Unfortunately, Lowe still requires a few more components to build with before this team can honestly talk about a playoff berth. other than Penner, Geoff Sanderson is the only new forward among a group that finished dead-last in offense last season; and, although Sheldon Souray’s leadership will help ensure another two-wins-in-20-games tailspin never happens again, his presence alone won’t ensure their wussified ’06-07 power play suddenly grows a pair.with the exceptions of Phoenix and Columbus, no team has fallen as hard and far as the Oilers have in the last year. They’re moving in the right direction now, but the recovery period likely will take at least a season to complete.

Nick Clegg’s statement about public sector pension is getting good coverage this morning and clearly we are being softened up for some quite drastic measures in the budget.

But how risky for Clegg is it being associated with such a policy given that in the public eye at least he is now being seen as the prime mover?

For there’s a lot of polling data to suggest that public sector workers do have a different view on the world and in this past they have tended to help the Lib Dems.

Usefully YouGov has started putting a “public sector” worker column in its detailed data so we can see if there is a differering voting intention amongst this significant group. The latest data
