Blog Kiosk: 3/15/19 - Dodgers Links - Some Odds and Ends
Yasiel Puig faced the Dodgers and Hyun-Jin Ryu for the first time yesterday afternoon. In his first at-bat he singled to right off Ryu. He then grounded out his next two at-bats.

This Day in Dodgers History: In 1945 the Dodgers opened their spring camp at Bear Mountain State Park in upstate New York due to wartime travel restrictions. There were real worries that German U-boats would attack the eastern coast of America During WWII. This is the third straight year the Dodgers would practice here. In 1975 the Dodgers signed 37-year old former Giants and future Hall of Fame pitcher Juan Marichal to a free agent contract. He would retire from the game a little over a month later on April 17th.
Happy Birthday, Doc Casey, Ralph Miller, Rosy Ryan, Lou Fette, Dick Scott, Mickey Hatcher & Trayce Thompson!
Please keep Bill Hefley, husband of Nancy Bea, in your thoughts. Per a tweet from Nancy:
Here we are at beautiful Carson Tahoe Hospital where Bill will call home for a couple of days. Doctor says he has pneumonia again. I will be kept company with my pit bulls. Happy to have them. All prayers accepted.
— Nancy Bea Hefley (@NancyBea) March 14, 2019
Per Jon Taylor at Sports Illustrated; "The Tao of Yasiel Puig: The Reds' New Star Riffs on Bat Flips, Life and His Rocky End With the Dodgers."
"It's their problem," Puig says of the Dodgers' decision to move him. "I don't know what they did with that trade, because they didn't get anyone who could help them the way I could. But that's business."
Per Ken Gurnick at MLB.com; "Lefty Cingrani (shoulder) to miss start of season."
Via Jesse Pearce at Think Blue LA; "Jeter Downs is legit."
Via Dustin Nosler at Dodgers Digest; "2019 Dodgers Top 100 Prospects: No. 10, SS/2B Omar Estevez."
Via Rowan Kavner at Dodger Insider; "Dodgers' top pitching prospects continue displaying their worthiness."
Via Kenny Kelly at Beyond the Boxscore; "The Dodgers are keeping Julio Urías in a glass case: The hope is to limit his innings and have him ready for the second half and beyond."
Ideally, Urías would begin the year in the rotation and finally get a chance to show off what he can do in a full season. That's not entirely realistic because of the injury concerns. Instead, they'll limit Urías' playing time to 70 to 100 innings. What this likely means is that he'll begin the year in the bullpen. Having him begin the year in Triple-A might be appealing, but I'm sure that if the Dodgers are limiting his innings, they'll want to him to throw most of those innings in the majors.
Obviously, Urías is overqualified to pitch out of the pen. In his limited time last year and this spring has shown that he's fully capable of starting in a major league rotation. In the Cactus League, Urías has been topping out at 98 mph. Heck, he was a major league starter three years ago when he was 19.
Per Mark Timmonson at LA Dodger Talk; "The Ron Porterfield Factor."
Porterfield refused to rush Urias and in fact, shut him down a couple of times. He flashed what he had last year at the end of the season and this year, is the talk of Dodger Camp as he is touching 98 MPH with his fastball and has impeccable command of four pitches. What do they call a pitcher has four killer pitches which he can command? An Ace! That's what they call him.
The Dodgers were patient with Julio and were not tempted to trade for Corey Kluber because they had someone who just might be better. if he is injured, it won;t kill We don't know how Clayton Kershaw will pitch this year. The Dodgers will be a better team IF he can stay healthy and put up his typical numbers, but it won't kill the team if he is injured. The Dodgers are a class organization and they re-signed Clayton (actually for just 1 additional year) simply out of respect for his body of work for 10 years. Forget about the playoffs for once – the man has been the face of the organization for the past decade.

Plane is the most convenient and quickest means of transport in the world. It can easily take you to the utmost part of the world. However, flying on the plane requires having basic knowledge about various things. For example, you need to understand the difference between basic fares. Particular fares cover particular services on the plane.
Economy is a standard choice of people travelling quick and cheap. It is a good option for students and people, who do not want to overpay for their trips. It is also the right option for those, who prefer travelling light. Economy ticket fare usually includes only hand-in luggage. If you have a lot of luggage or buy many gifts, you need to travel with check-in luggage. It is better to pay for it online rather than at the airport.
The seat width and legroom also differs in this class. Economy seats have less place for legs. It is ok for middle height people, but when travelling for more than 5 hours, it can be incredibly important. When travelling in economy, you cannot choose a number of the seat. The system automatically assigns you with seat on the plane. Those who want to choose, usually buy this option.
There are air carriers that offer premium economy tickets. Nor all air carriers provide passengers with tickets of this class so it is better to check availability online. Moreover, it is better to find out in advance which services are included in the price. It can be check-in luggage or possibility to choose seats on the plane. If you need only one of these services, it might be cheaper to buy economy and pay extra.
Business is the best category of seats on regular flights. It provides passengers with convenience in everything. This fare includes priority boarding, possibility to choose seat number on the plane, hand-in and check-in luggage. Business class have flat-bed seats and the seat is wider than in economy. In addition, the food served in this class differs from economy even in the way it is served. Some air carriers have additional options for business class such as a bar or pick-up and drop-off services.
Choosing type of ticket frequently depends on the trip purpose. Business class is mostly booked by people traveling on business. Regular travelers and tourists prefer buying economy.

Football: Arsenal sink Chelsea in FA Cup final
Arsene Wenger's turbulent year ended with a third FA Cup success in four seasons after Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-1 to deny the English Premier League champion a double overnight (NZT).
Wenger became the competition's most successful manager with a seventh title in his 21-year reign, triumphs that have papered over some of the cracks as Arsenal has repeatedly come up short in the Premier League and Champions League.
Just as the season reached its climax at Wembley Stadium, Arsenal turned in the type of tenacious display lacking so often, and against a side so commanding in the Premier League. And it might just be enough to stem the tide of protests against Wenger, with the record 13-time FA Cup winners yet to announce a new contract for the 67-year-old Frenchman for next season.
The good fortune Arsenal have desperately needed came in front of almost 90,000 fans at the cup final.
When Alexis Sanchez put the ball in the net after four minutes, it was initially disallowed when Aaron Ramsey was adjudged to be interfering with play while offside. But the decision by Anthony Taylor's assistant was overturned by the referee.
Arsenal even had the luxury of a man advantage from the 68th minute when Victor Moses received a second yellow card for diving.
Although Diego Costa equalized in the 76th, bringing down Willian's lofted ball on his chest and striking past David Ospina, Arsenal was back in front inside three minutes.
Ramsey was left unmarked to meet Olivier Giroud's dinked pass by N'Golo Kante, who uncharacteristically failed to track the midfielder. And just like in 2014, Ramsey was Arsenal's cup final match-winner.
Arsenal heads into an uncertain offseason, with the club out of the Champions League next season after a fifth-place finish in the Premier League.

First responders and ADF veterans are the most Effective People for civilian jobs
Sharon Kelley6 July 2020
First responders and Australian Defence Force personnel have extraordinary skills to transfer to civilian roles. Photo: File.
Kris Milne served in the Australian Army for 14 years. Despite the toughness and fortitude required to go on deployment to places such as East Timor, the most difficult thing he's done is leave the army and adjust to life in a civilian job.
He knew the minute he left the army he would lose his security clearance and have to reapply all over again if he wanted a job which required one. That narrowed the job market. After so long in the army, he looked at his resume and wondered what civilian employer would need a man with weapons training, parade ground marching and bush survival techniques.
Now an account executive at recruitment firm Effective People, Kris helps people translate their military acquired skills into a civilian resume, along with providing career advice and mentoring enlisted Australian Defence Force (ADF) veterans who want to transition into a civilian role.
"I look at an ADF resume and immediately I can see whether a person has leadership skills, administrative skills, strategic thinking and so many other talents that are desperately needed in the civilian workforce," says Kris.
"What I want to do is specialise in helping enlisted ADF veterans, first responders, paramedics, firefighters and police to get a job in the civilian workforce, and help with their resume, help with interviews and place them with employers who genuinely appreciate the skills that a military or first responder career gives you."

Kris is calling for all veterans and first responders to register with him to receive help and job opportunities through Effective People, which focuses on a holistic program to help people into a civilian role.
"I also want to make sure employers who offer jobs to our first responders and veterans understand PTSD [post-traumatic stress disorder] and other mental health issues associated with serving your country," he says. "With all the talk about mental health at the moment, now is the time for people to truly understand what PTSD is and what it is not.
"We need to educate the community – and employers – about PTSD. Some of the most successful people you see in business have PTSD or a diagnosed mental illness, but you wouldn't know. It's a manageable condition. Part of the solution is having a job where you feel useful and genuinely appreciated for your skills. We believe we can provide that through the employers we have on our books.
"This year, we're planning on doing a lot more education on PTSD and the advantages of employing an ex-ADF veteran or a first responder."
Effective People is one of the largest suppliers of staff to the ACT Government and has the ability to sponsor security clearances through its affiliate company PayMe Australia, which will help enormously for ADF veterans looking to exit the service and begin a civilian job, says Kris.
"If you have a current security clearance, doors open at the Department of Defence, which is always looking for contractors with clearances," he says.
"We are at the start of our program to assist veterans and first responders into civilian jobs, and it will develop and expand during the next year. Anybody who wants to start the transition to a civilian job and lifestyle should contact me. As a veteran myself, I understand the challenges and I'm here to help.
"Employers need to know it's a badge of honour to employ a veteran or a first responder. Their skills are as good as, if not better than, most candidates, and they have much more self-discipline, attention to detail and they always finish the job they started. And they've served our country, whether in an armed forces capacity or as a first responder. These are the people we owe our current way of life, and our survival, to."
If you are a first responder or Australian Defence Force veteran seeking a civilian job and want help with the transition, contact Effective People on 1300 946 471.

Opinion: How to bring New Yorkers back to the subways
By Eric Adams
A subway conductor wears a protective face mask during the COVID-19 outbreak.
REUTERS/Mike Segar
Like much of our city's public infrastructure, our transit system was devastated when the COVID-19 pandemic first hit New York. Riders fled the system in record numbers as the virus spread, ripping a hole in the MTA's budget and leaving its future in doubt. Faced with a grim fiscal picture, transit officials floated the possibility of mass layoffs and draconian service cutbacks to ensure long-term solvency.
For the first time in its history, the 24 hours a day system that once ensured that New York City never slept, went dark in the early morning hours.
Fortunately, the future of our public transit system is now looking much brighter – thanks in part to a major infusion of cash from the federal government, robust evidence showing a low risk of transmission underground, and the recent announcement that subways would return to 24/7 service starting May 17th. But while ridership is on the rise, it remains stubbornly low — roughly 40 percent of pre-pandemic levels. And while it is understandable that our system has not rebounded totally as New Yorkers have not fully returned to work, the primary reason people are avoiding the system is not what many would expect.
A recent survey conducted by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) of more than 33,000 riders found that crime and harassment were the biggest concerns for current and lapsed riders, with 36 percent of respondents who relied on the subway before the pandemic said they "are not using transit because of crime and harassment."
These concerns are shared by our transit workers, who have experienced an uptick in attacks: In the past six months, more than 1,000 transit workers have been assaulted, according to MTA data. In addition, a recent rise in hate crimes above and below-ground, particularly against Asian New Yorkers, have left many people feeling scared and vulnerable.
This is not about fear-mongering. Our subway system is still, thankfully, a far cry from the bad old days. But the perception that our subways are unsafe is real, and cannot be dismissed out of hand. That's why we must take proactive steps to address these concerns and encourage New Yorkers to ride our subways again.
We must start by reforming our 311 system to ensure law enforcement or an appropriate professional is deployed to the right location when necessary. Under the City's current laws, the 311 system cannot refer any call to an agency unless the complaint lists a specific address, which are not assigned to subway stations. That needs to change immediately.
Next, we must recognize that many of the crimes being committed on the subway are perpetrated by people suffering from severe mental health issues — such as Rigoberto Lopez, who committed a series of subway stabbings in the course of one night earlier this year. That's why we should strengthen the use of Kendra's Law, initially passed after a horrific murder of Kendra Webdale in the subway, which provides for court-ordered assisted outpatient treatment for individuals with serious mental health issues who are deemed a threat to themselves or others.
Making riders feel comfortable using the system will also require coordinating our entire ecosystem of public safety — not just police. That means supporting funding for bystander intervention training through partnerships with organizations like Hollaback! to defuse tense situations with appropriate training.
Ultimately, the course of our city's recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic will be determined by how quickly our transit system bounces back, and with more riders and more "eyes on the street" we can expect public safety to improve as well. There have been promising signs in the past few months — but bringing riders back remains of paramount importance.
As someone who began his career as part of the Transit Police, I know how critical perceptions of safety are to the health of our subway system. I am committed to ensuring all New Yorkers feel safe underground.

NTSB says design flaw contributed to Minneapolis bridge collapse
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) says a design flaw with gusset plates — steel plates used to connect beams — on the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis contributed to the bridge's Aug. 1 collapse that killed 13 people.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) says a design flaw with gusset plates — steel plates used to connect beams — on the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis contributed to the bridge's Aug. 1 collapse that killed 13 people. As a result of the ongoing investigation into the collapse, NTSB is urging the Federal Highway Administration to require owners of similar steel truss bridges to conduct "load capacity calculations to verify that the stress levels on all structural elements, including gusset plates, remain within applicable design requirements."
The gusset plates in eight of 112 joints in the I-35W bridge were half the thickness required to provide a margin of safety, according to the NTSB report. At the same time, the board says it has no evidence that the bridge's deficiencies "are widespread or even go beyond this particular bridge." "The [NTSB] has issued this recommendation, at this time, to ensure that the original design calculations for other bridges of this type have been made correctly, before any planned modification or operational changes are accomplished affecting such bridges and before any additional stresses are placed on them," said NTSB Chairman Mark Rosenker in a statement.
NTSB expects to have a final report on the bridge collapse ready before the end of this year. The interim report is available at http://www.ntsb.gov/Pressrel/2008/080115.html.

MPH Programs List.com launched in February of 2012 as a free resource for students interested in graduate public health, public administration, public policy and health administration programs. We aim to cover every facet of public health, policy and administration and how each area of society plays a role. Our goal is to attract students to these under-served yet highly rewarding fields. The Association of Schools of Public Health estimates that by 2020 the United States will face a shortage of more than 250,000 public health workers. This is due to a steadily increasing need for services in disadvantaged populations and the emergence of new biological and environmental threats to overall public health. In addition, another 100,000 current public health workers employed by local, state and federal governments are scheduled to retire during 2012, creating another more immediate shortage of men and women with the latest public health training.

Talent On Tap – Ruth Lawrence Brings Little Orphans to Whistler
December 28, 2020 December 31, 2020 Darren WiesnerInterviewLittle Orphans, Ruth Lawrence
The Whistler Film Festival never disappoints… even when Covid tries to get in the way. It's not a computer virus, so the show has gone virtual. This year's big winner was Little Orphans, it won the Best Canadian Feature Film Award. It's a romance/drama that revolves around the lives of three sisters… and it was shot entirely in Newfoundland. It will make you have faith in love, no matter where you are on the planet and you will most likely fall in love with Newfoundland because the cinematography is spectacular in this film. Many thanks to the incredible director and cinematographer team of Ruth Lawrence and Stéphanie Anne Weber Biron. There were more incredibly talented members of the team in the form of producer Jennifer Hawley. Little Orphans is written by Emily Bridger and she is also the lead actress.
This film has an incredible cast throughout and the other two sister roles are superbly played so convincingly by Marthe Bernard – Janet and Rhiannon Morgan as Kay, with Emily playing the role of Gwen. This film had girl power with 2/3rds female cast and crew, which is remarkable and outstanding! It was also director Ruth Lawrence's first time behind the wheel of a scripted feature film. She'd made a feature documentary and an array of short films but this was her big break. How did she do? She knocked it out of the park and smashed the streetlight!
I had an amazing talk with her about taking the leap into feature films with Little Orphans and it was so entertaining. Ruth is the best friend next door, with a plate of cookies and coffee to say hello in the morning.
HNM "Is this really only your 2nd time directing, after your first short film 2 Square Feet in 2012?"
RUTH "No, I've directed 6 or 7 short films and a couple of music videos. I've also directed a feature documentary and was a writer on an anthology feature a couple of years ago, where I wrote and directed a 6 min. section as part of a feature. This is my feature film debut as director."
HNM "How did you get attached to the film as director?"
RUTH "Emily had originally written the script as a play and at the time, I was running the Women's Work Festival; she had submitted it for a workshop. It was 2 – 3 years later that she had approached me, to tell me that she had rewritten Little Orphans as a feature film and was wondering if I'd be interested in directing it. It was the proposal I'd been looking for all my life, so I said yes. It translated very well to film and she really trusted me and I felt very honoured. It took us approx. 2 ½ yrs. to fund it."
HNM "With an all – female lead cast, female director, producer and female writer, was this film a salute to women in the industry, considering the push for more diverse lead roles for women?"
RUTH "I'm glad you saw that (laughing). We hadn't really discussed it too much but there's no doubt that we have a world-renowned Women's Film Festival here, that's been publicized as one of the best film festivals in the world and they've worked very hard to raise the bar. The female diversity really came out of people that I love working with. I have a theatre company that produces only female written works but my film company doesn't. It just so happens that Emily and I are female but when we needed a producer to come on board, we looked quite extensively – until Jenny Hawley was suggested to us; she turned out to be such a gift and was amazing. From that point on, we went looking for people we wanted to work with, people we've worked with before and people we admired. It wasn't until the 3rd day into production, that our male transport manager reminded me of an earlier film we had worked on together and how hard I had tried to reach gender balance and fell slightly short with a few women that had to cancel last minute. He wanted to let me know that on this film, there were 2 thirds listed as women. We hadn't set a number but as it turned out, they happened to be some of my favourite people."
HNM "There must have been a very positive vibe on set."
RUTH "We made it on a microbudget and we had nothing to offer anyone – except a good experience. Jenny and I had actual discussions about making it a kind, generous and pleasant atmosphere for everyone. We said we wouldn't work overtime; we wouldn't kill our crew by asking for more than they were capable of and… boy did they bring their A-game every single day and I think it shows in the film."
HNM "You make your feature film directing debut with Little Orphans. How did it feel to be driving that bus?"
RUTH "I took it quite seriously and wanted a really great film at the end of it without costing anyone any pain. Jenny (producer) was asked many times, whether or not we could do this or that. She would never say no, she would instead say, 'well, we could… but it might mean that we have to lose something else.' I always respected that approach because it made me think about what was most important to me. It became really easy to make those decisions and she really guided me. You ask me about driving the bus, but I feel like the bus had 2 drivers. I could never have dreamed that I'd have such a generous, thoughtful, smart and insightful producer. She's 30 years old and it was pretty impressive, I owe her a lot."
HNM "I was so impressed when you were able to film inside the airport. How difficult was that to get permission?"
RUTH "That was Jenny – she made that happen. I was a 3rd AD on a film a few years back and we had shot in the customs area. When we read the airport scene in the screenplay, we both thought – no problem, we'll go to the airport (St. John's International). We had a couple employees that didn't seem too happy we were there but we would pause the filming if anyone needed to go by and then continued shooting. It wasn't until the day was over that Jenny had told me, it was the first feature film that they've ever allowed to shoot there. St. John's Airport was having a slow day and we managed to get some really beautiful shots, the airport is gorgeous. Our DOP is Stéphanie Anne Weber Biron and she had captured everything I had asked for and more – I was so thrilled."
HNM "Was it more difficult to shoot inside the church or the airport?"
RUTH "It was harder to get the church. There was some discomfort present in some of the scenes. There was a swear word in the church scene followed by a comment by Emily's character after the power outage. The church and ArchBishop wanted to see the scene in the script and without thinking, I showed it to them. It was an affirmative 'No' they did not want any swearing inside the church. Not only did they say no, they also told the entire diocese not to let us in. Our location manager went back to ask what it was that was so offensive and what we could do to make it happen. I really wanted the church, the exterior looks like a king's crown. Luckily our location manager, Cara Powell was very experienced and was able to negotiate it down to removing the curse word along with a 3-word line. Emily was not married to it and had no objections, so they allowed us back to shoot it. We were so thankful to everyone – they were all doing us favours. We kept our promise to leave it out and it actually made for a better scene."
HNM "Did you have a hand in selecting the cast?"
RUTH "I did… I selected all the cast, but came into it knowing that Emily had written it with Marthe Bernard, Rhiannon Morgan and herself in mind. Emily was incredibly generous and told me that I didn't need to cast her, it was a lead role and she wasn't sure she could do it – but I couldn't think of anyone else that could pull it off. She would do some table reads and I couldn't imagine anyone else playing her part. The three of them are so close and very good friends. I told her that this role was perfect for her and that I was so confident she could do it. She really took a lot of pressure off of me by casting three incredible young actresses. They brought such a closeness, such intimacy and raw emotion, as well as trust in me as a director. We were so crunched for time, we had no time for rehearsals and only did 2 two hour table reads and sometimes we wouldn't even get through them because I had questions. I told them I knew an incredible acting coach/director, Lois Brown who they also knew and liked. I wanted all three of them to take some coaching from her because she knows exactly what I want from them. They all agreed and were all so prepared when they came to set. They were also prepared to be open, because they had all brought really strong choices. I wanted to make some adjustments and they trusted me."
HNM "There was a beautiful night shot of the city, when Gwen-Emily and Tom-Andy McQueen were having a romantic moment. Which city was that overlooking?"
RUTH "That was the St. John's Harbour. I really wanted a magical quality to the town. Stéphanie knew exactly what I was looking for and brought even more. When Emily wrote it, she wanted the feeling of the small town imposing on them all the time. I said no problem, we can do that and we found locations that worked well. When Tom tells her he loves her, she has to feel like all of St. John's is looking at her because that has been the way she's felt since returning, with the big secret. I didn't want the camera on her the entire time, I wanted to show the perspective on what she was looking at when he said he loved her. I told Stéphanie about my idea and that I wasn't sure if people would hate it. She told me, 'my advice to you is, if you really want that shot, lets shoot it and let's make it work and you don't shoot it any other way because someone will try to talk you out of it.' I loved that advice and it's one of my favourite shots in the film – Stéphanie and St. John's really made it beautiful."
Switching Gears…
HNM "If you were competing in a three-legged race, who from the cast would be your partner?"
RUTH "I'm trying to think, who might be short enough to be my partner (Laughter). I think it would have to be Marthe. I've been on stage with her, I think she played my daughter and I believe we're the same size, everyone else is so much taller (laughing). My son (Luke Lawrence) is also in the film, he plays Georgie and he's even a foot taller than me."
HNM "If you only had 3 forms of transportation to travel 50 miles, would you choose horseback, motorcycle or hot-air balloon?"
RUTH "Horseback… I was born in the year of the horse and I have an infinity for horses, I love them. I don't own one but it's one of my lifelong dreams to own one. Have you ever stood beside a horse and looked into its eyes, it's so powerful? You can feel their muscles when you're standing beside them… the breath is something else. I would take the first opportunity I could to ride 50 miles on a horse. The funny thing about horses, is that my boyfriend is a horse. In Chinese astrology, it repeats every 12 years, so he's 12 years older, I'm a horse and my son is 24 years younger than me, so he's also a horse. I used to joke with people – I'd say, we don't have a home, we have a stable (laughing). We have slight variations… one is a water horse, I'm a fire horse and the other is a metal horse."
When I caught up with Ruth, she had been working on bringing a children's theatre project to online viewing. Her tenacity is off the hook and her Maritime warmth came through the screen whenever she laughed or smiled. Ruth Lawrence directed a terrific story and a phenomenal cast.
Talent on Tap – Indian Road Trip Arrives at Destination Whistler Film Festival
What Gambling Game Offers the Highest Winning Chances


Third generation Versys 650 makes the middleweight adventure better still. Perky performance, peerless versatility and decent spec all for a brilliant price make this one of the best value all-rounders anywhere.
Similar to Suzuki's V-Strom 650, Kawasaki's junior Versys is a brilliant value all-rounder that makes you wonder why anyone needs more. Eager performance, decent handling and genuine versatility add up to a brilliant budget bike.
Interested in buying a Kawasaki Versys 650?
This is the third restyle of the always slightly oddball Versys, a bike conceived originally, in 2006, as a sort of street-orientated adventure bike, a bit like Ducati's Multistrada but with a budget emphasis, and it's still no looker. But it more than makes up for that with brilliant functionalism and practicality – so much so that you're truly left wondering why anyone would need more. That, and the fact it's also decently entertaining and all done for such a tempting price, is its real design masterstroke.
Nothing to complain about here. The Versys is a typical, middleweight adventure bike, again similar to, say, Suzuki's enduring V-Strom 650 or Triumph's hugely-popular Tiger 800, and as such is upright, comfortable and surprisingly roomy for a 650, with wide, high bars, lavish, cossetting seat and plenty of legroom. On top of that, there's decent weather protection from the revised fairing complete with adjustable screen. For an affordable middleweight they don't get much better.
Kawasaki's 650 twin got its name as a variation of 'versatility' so it should be no surprise that it scores well here. With adventure bike proportions yet a street focus it's roomy, manageable and comfortable and is it home over any distance or type of road. There's decent weather protection, plenty of luggage options and, for a middleweight twin, is an OK pillion-carrier, too. In short, whether you want a nimble urban commuter, holiday two-up tourer or just a bike for a Sunday ride, the Versys does it all – and far better than most bikes in this class or price band.
The Versys is a relative of the ER-6 and Z650 but although powered only by those bikes' 649cc parallel twin cylinder motor, it's perkier and more flexible than you'd expect. In this latest, 2015-on guise it puts out a decent 68bhp and like to rev but there's plenty of low down and midrange urge, too. In fact, it's the same engine, which is used as the basis by most TT 'Supertwin' racers. That said, however, it is outpaced by Yamaha's more recent 75bhp Tracer 700 and Triumph's Tiger. The brakes, while nothing to write home about, are more than sufficient, too.
This area is one of the biggest improvements with this latest Versys 650. Now boasting new, multi-adjustable, 'Big Piston' Showa forks and an uprated, KYB shock complete with handy remote preload adjuster, the Kawasaki has a plush supple ride that belies its impressively agile and nimble handling. What's more, being a twin, despite seeming a much larger, full-sized bike, means the Versys is also refreshingly slim and light. For an adventure bike in this price band it's genuinely brilliant.
Considering its immense versatility we really have no qualms as to the Versys 650's running costs. The original ticket price is impressively low, that motor sips at fuel compared to most, although perky, its performance won't make particularly high demands of consumables such as chain, tyres, brake pads and so on. All things considered, we can't imagine a bike with as much ability being so affordable mile by mile.
Although extremely tuned race versions of the Kawasaki parallel twin, most notably as used in the TT Supertwin or Junior race, have been known to go 'pop', in road trim the engine, although developed over time, has now been around since 2006 with most bugs and quirks now well and truly ironed out. In the same vein, although the Versys remains a budget bike, it's actually impressively built and well equipped, far more than its price may suggest.
In this latest form the Versys 650 has fairly typical service intervals of every 7500miles with valve clearance checks every 15,000, so it's not at all bad. It's also fairly straightforward and easy to work on so you shouldn't expect any shocks come service time. The warranty, too, is a standard, manufacturer backed parts and labour affair valid for two years irrespective of mileage.
At the end of the day the Versy remains a budget-orientated machine so there's not much to get excited about here, so don't expect any fancy electronics, TFT screens, riding modes and the like. That said, it doesn't really want for much, either. The clocks are pretty good; there's an adjustable screen, large tank, comfortable seat and so on. A 'Grand Tourer' version is available with panniers, top box and more and there are plenty of practical accessories available as well.
If you're looking for a full-sized but middleweight all-rounder on a budget, the Versys is worth serious consideration. In short: it can do it all – scratch, commute, tour, take a passenger and more. Yes, there are others, such as Yamaha's Tracer 700 and Triumph's Tiger 800 that are arguably even more effective, but not for the same price. Here's a machine that, truly, can be all things to all people.

Q: Regex to ensure a specific word does not occur in the middle of a pattern I have a regex which matches a range of characters in a list, but I'd like to prevent it from matching a word.
My Regex is:
^widget/([\w\d~]+)/?(?:[\w\d~]+)/?$

I'd like it to match like this:

*

*widget/JQYHHU - View widget, should match

*widget/JQYHHU/ - View widget, should match

*widget/JQYHHU/bag-of-screws - View widget, should match

*widget/JQYHHU/bag-of-screws/ - View widget, should match

*widget/add - View widget, should not match

*widget/add/ - View widget, should not match

Is it possible to add in a condition so it will match characters, but not if they spell the word 'add'?

A: ^widget/(?!add)([\w\d~]+)/?(?:[\w\d~]+)/?$

This is a zero-width negative lookahead assertion; basically it says "Standing where I am right now, ensure that if I look forward I do not see the pattern add, but do not move the cursor position when I'm done."

Weekly message No. 142 (13th November 1986).
Way to heaven: holiness of life through prayer, sacrifice and conversion.
Make an examination of conscience during this week about areas of your life in need of change.
25Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his span of life? 28And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; 29yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O men of little faith? 31Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the Gentiles seek all these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
Friday: Call to change and to become like little children.
15Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.
11Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness.
14Strive for peace with all men, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.
Sunday: Following the example of Christ.
21For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. 22He committed no sin; no guile was found on his lips. 23When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten; but he trusted to him who judges justly. 24He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.
Monday: Taking up one's cross daily in following Christ.
Tuesday: Offering sacrifice to God in following the example of Christ.
1I appeal to you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.


You will need a 9 pin female to female RS232 Null Modem Cable. If you order one from Ebay, it's best if the pin numbering is shown in the listing to ensure it's the correct type. As long as pin 2 - 3, 3 - 2, & 5 - 5 are connected, then it's OK. Only these 3 wires are used on Openboxes & Skyboxes. The other connections do not matter.
NOTE:- A "straight-through" serial cable looks the same but is wired differently to a null modem cable.
Most modern pc's & laptops no longer have RS232 connectors. In this case you will need to use a USB to serial adapter. Very few (if any) of the cheaper ones will work. Adapters with the Prolific PL2303HXD Revision D Chipset are known to work, so look for adapters with that chipset. You will still need a female to female null modem cable to use with these adapters, as the adapters simulate a genuine RS232 connector which is male. Don't use a gender changer on the adapter as it won't work.
There are also "All-in-one" adapters (that don't require a seperate null modem cable) that are known to work. They are available on Ebay.
Double-click the compressed upgrade tool file. It will open in WinRAR (or whatever your chosen program is that opens compressed files). Some programs also add an option in the context menu to extract the file if you right-click on the compressed file.
Extract to your desktop or location of your choice.
You will now have a folder containing these files (or maybe a few more).
With the box turned off at the mains plug the null modem cable into the box and into your pc.
Run the Loader named EromUpgrade and select browse. In the pop-up box, navigate to where you downloaded the firmware for your box. Note...the firmware will also need to be unpacked first with winrar.
Make sure the correct com port is selected. Tick "Include Bootloader".
NOTE...if you see the message "Opening serial port is failed. Click "Back" to try again", even before switching the box on, then that usually means that you have selected the wrong COM port.
Switch on the power to the box. Within a few seconds you should see "Done".
If your box loads to L097 & then resets, it could be due to wrong firmware. If you flashed with genuine firmware, try clone firmware. If you flashed with clone firmware, try genuine firmware.
Extra notes for those using USB to serial adapters.
Most of the cheap USB to serial adapters do not appear to work. Look for adapters that use the Prolific PL2303HX Revision D chipset (might also be called PL2303HXD). These adapters still need a null modem cable. If you are using Windows 7 or 8, you just need to plug the adapter in the USB port. The drivers will be automatically installed after a minute or 2.
There are also "all-in-one" adapters that appear to work. These don't need a seperate null modem cable.
If your adapter doesn't work, it may need tweaking in device manager.
If you don't see the word "Done" after a few seconds, you may need to adjust the adapters COM port Advanced settings.
Open device manager. Double-click on Ports (COM & LPT). Double-click on the adapter to bring up it's properties & click on the Port settings tab.
Move the Receive & Transmit buffer sliders to the left slightly.
Click OK, & then OK again to get back to device manager. These are the settings that worked for me. If you still have problems, try moving both sliders further to the left, a bit at a time & try flashing again.
does the recovery work on f5s?
if it works with f3s then it should be fine with f5s thanks for the reply.
Sorry to sound thick but whats handshaker?
You can read information about it here.
Its the exact same as posted in the frst post?, and could he pm you the instructions any better than I have already explained how to do it in this tutorial?.
Tried this on a f5 that was giving file mismatch when trying to update via usb. the flash went fine 100% finished box rebooted as it should but now its in 97% bootloop. tried flashing with different images all flashed to 100% but still in 97% bootloop. could this be hardware failure? and thats why it was giving file mismatch in the beginning via usb?

Canadian Football Network était un service de contenu télévisuel sportif canadien ayant existé entre 1987 et 1990.

Histoire

Après la saison 1986, le réseau CTV a abandonné la diffusion des matchs de la Ligue canadienne de football. Le Canadian Football Network a été créé par la ligue en 1987 afin de produire et distribuer les matchs en syndication sur des chaînes indépendantes canadiennes. Les matchs de la Coupe Grey ont aussi été diffusés aux États-Unis sur ESPN.

La situation financière n'étant pas satisfaisante, la ligue a mis fin à CFN après la saison 1990.

It is no secret that I have a deep love for Texas sports, Football in particular. One easy way to piss me off is to talk smack about my beloved Longhorns.
So what are some of the best moments? The creme de la creme?
1. Vince Young and the 4th and 5 play at the Rose Bowl. Wow, just watching it again gives me goosebumps.
3. Ricky Williams and winning the Heisman. I was a freshman at UT and remember the pandemonium in the streets when he won. I also remember that he drove a Hummer.
4. UT winning the last UT-ATM game ever, on a last-minute field goal. Thank you Justin Tucker. And it's goodbye to A&M….
And who were some of the worst?
Stop posing. You should be practicing.
2. Garrett Gilbert. Blue chip, highly recruited. Very loserish.
Do you have more TEXAS favorites?

Q: I would like to use php as proxy server to pass json data to a webservice, what am I doing wrong? Below is php script I am trying to use as proxy to pass two parameters (username and password) to a web service to return data in json format.
This is a workaround to the famed same domain limitation policy.
I keep getting invalid username or password.
The ajax file is trying to pass two parameters to the webservice via php proxy script.
Here is a snippet of the ajax file:
var uname = $("#user").val();
var upass = $("#pass").val();

    $.post("proxyurl.php",
      { data: JSON.stringify({ LoginName: uname,Password: upass }) })
        .done(function(data) {

Below is proxyurl.php
  <?php

    $ch = curl_init("http://myotherdomain.com/getUserDetails");
    $strUser = $_POST["uname"];
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,"LoginName=".urlencode($strUser));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    $output = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    echo $output
  ?>

Thanks in advance for your assistance

A: You're actually sending over LoginName and Password to your proxy script, not uname.
As well, curlopt_Postfields is perfectly happy to accept an array of key/value pairs and will encode it for you. There is no need to manually building a key=value string yourself.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $_POST);

is technically all you'd really need to do.

No deaths confirmed in Oaxaca mudslide
Other News 29 September 2010 11:46 (UTC+04:00)
Authorities said a landslide in Mexico's southern state of Oaxaca was less deadly than initially feared with no confirmed deaths so far.
Governor Ulises Ruiz and Interior Minister Jose Francisco Blake Mora said Wednesday that 11 people were missing and four houses had been buried in Tuesday's landslide, which happened in Santa Maria Tlahuitoltepec, 70 kilometres east of the provincial capital, Oaxaca, DPA reported.
Ruiz initially said 500 to 600 people might have been killed. Local media had reported 300 houses had been buried and seven bodies had been recovered.
But army units and other rescuers who first reached the disaster area on foot because of destroyed roads, later said the situation was less grave than feared.
President Felipe Calderon, who initially called the landslide a "national tragedy," also confirmed late Tuesday that the disaster's scale was less grave than feared.
Southern Mexico has been hit by days of rain. Most recently, Tropical Storm Matthew prompted flooding and landslides. Some 400 people have been killed by flooding and landslides during the rainy season in Mexico and Central America since May.


No I wasn't trying to be obnoxious! Sorry, if I came across that way. But it wouldn't be truthful of me to say that I am indifferent as to whether or not my kids have children...Of course I have hopes and dreams for my kids.
In truth, my children are one of my greatest joys. But I totally understand how another person may find their own joy elsewhere.
What works well for one person, might not work so well for another. Don't ever let anyone (parents included) put you on the defensive for saying and doing what is right for you. It is your life.
I understand. I guess I'd like to just remind the pronatalogists out there that sometimes it is annoying to hear "never say never" or "you never know, you might change your mind". I didn't take it personally.
I'm the same way. I don't care much for kids other than my own. If they never have kids, I wouldn't care. If they do, I'll feel some sort of justice has been served lol! (meaning, they have to go through what we did when they were babies/toddlers!).
I would be fine with that, better to not have them, than have them, and leave them at Grandma's house for 18 years. Maybe my daughter will have an awesome career, and be so involved with her career she does not want children. Doubt that...she is only 19, and routinely looks at baby clothes, baby stuff, she is riveted by that stuff...scary!!!
I would be very sad. I would love to be Granny!
A read a quote somewhere that went something like this: "Before you have kids, all of your options - whether or not to have kids, how many kids to have, whether to have them naturally or adopt, etc. - are all open. But once you have a child, that's it. You're a parent. No turning back."
I thought that was an interesting point of view.
I think to directly answer the question, "how would I feel", I think I would be disappointed, I know my wife would be. That doesn't mean that I think they are wrong, or horrible people for making that choice, just that I would be disappointed in them making that choice. Some of it also depends on how they came to that decision. I think I would only be vocal about it if I had known that they always wanted children, but were giving that up in order to please their partner. Ultimately, they need to make the choice that is right for them. However, I'm still allowed to have my feelings.
My husband heard an interview on NPR sometime ago about this very thing. It turns out that according to some study somewhere (I forget the details) people who can change a decision tend to be less happy with their choices (i.e. marriage here in the U.S. or college choices, etc. - anything you can change or reverse). People who cannot change a decision tend to be happier about their choice (i.e. having a baby). The reason is because if you're "stuck" with the decision, people tend to be happy about it. Weird and, yet, it makes sense. (I hope I articulated that well).
Maybe this is an issue that I'm just too sensitive about. It's been a question thrown at my husband and I for about nine years now. The response of others is always the same (see quotes in previous posts). I keep seeing variations posted in this thread, and I just keep rolling my eyes. Of course, people can change their minds or be careless with protection, but that doesn't need saying all the time.
I adore my mom because she never, ever does this, and she defends us to other people. She's constantly asked, "Don't you want ---- to have children?" My mom says, "That's none of my business. They are the ones who will be raising it, not me." Once she told my cousin, "She doesn't have to have children. Her sister has enough for the both of them." (My sister has four kids.) Gotta love a mother that lets her kids have their own lives.
And i mean they have hit their mid 20's to early 30's, and are married and told you this?

Dell, BlackBerry share strategies for pursuing DOD clients
By Sean Lyngaas
Tighter budgets have increased the stakes for vendors trying to meet the military's mobility needs.
It was a smaller turnout than usual at the tri-annual Pentagon Technology Day. Attendance was a few score when it is usually about 200, something organizers attributed to vacation season. The exposition in the stately Pentagon Library nonetheless offered a snapshot into a shifting defense IT procurement landscape.
FCW visited the display booths of two mainstays in that landscape – Dell and BlackBerry – and found divergent approaches to dealing with the changing software and mobile devices markets in which these firms compete.
David DeVries, part of Dell's public sector sales team, rattled off his company's acquisitions in its bid to gain a bigger foothold in the software market. One of those acquisitions was Quest Software, which Dell bought for about $2.4 billion in 2012, and Quest products were a part of DeVries' pitch at the event.
Dell can no longer rely on its bread and butter of servers and hard drives because there is only so much return in the hardware market, he said. Dell's efforts to offer "end-to-end solutions" are nothing new, he acknowledged – every big IT firm seems to be claiming that versatility.
The word "differentiator" often enters the IT sales pitch at this point, as a vendor argues its software package is easier to use and more effective than that of its competitors. For DeVries, Dell's "differentiator" is that its software is not "native," or internal to a particular system, and can be combined with software from other firms. DeVries cited Dell's work with Oracle as an example. He also shied away from the word "competitor," another common sales tactic. How can you have competitors when each software package offers something unique?
The Plano, Texas-based firm does business with multiple military branches, DeVries said, adding that he hoped to take advantage of being in the Pentagon on Thursday by meeting with clients. Last year was "rough" for business because of sequestration, but Dell's public sector executives are adjusting to tighter budgets, he added.
A few booths down from DeVries, BlackBerry's Terry Poulias scrolled from icon to icon on the firm's latest mobile device. He is fond of what he called the "split personality" of the BlackBerry 10 operating system, which keeps work-related icons separate from recreational ones. Security is still king on these devices (a work meeting on the calendar requires a separate login), perhaps a nod to how BlackBerry became the incumbent for mobile devices at the Pentagon.
The Canadian firm announced last August that it was the first mobile phone provider to earn an authority to operate on DOD networks. In March, the Defense Information Systems Agency began deploying 20,000 BlackBerry devices, according to Poulias. DOD's inspector general, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and the Defense Contract Management Agency are other Pentagon outfits using BlackBerry devices.
In March, the Wall Street Journal reported that the White House was testing Samsung and LG phones for internal use. But Poulias shrugged off the suggestion that BlackBerry might be losing some of its government-client market share. On the table in front of him was a Samsung phone that ran on a Blackberry network.
The next Pentagon Technology Day is on Nov. 6.

Woman jailed for trying to rob 89-year-old victim in Brighton
A woman has been jailed after pleading guilty to attempting to rob an 89-year-old woman as she walked along London Road, Brighton.
Clare Tasker, 38, of no fixed address, appeared at Lewes Crown Court on Friday 26 April charged with assault with intent to rob and admited the offence. She was sentenced to two years imprisonment.
The court heard that the victim was passing the Co-op supermarket on 27 March when she was approached by a Tasker who had previously been sitting on the floor against a bus stop, covered by a blanket.
As Tasker went to grab her bag, the victim was knocked to the ground. Tasker then left her lying on the pavement bruised and shaken and walked off empty handed.
Detective Constable Scott Moore said: "This was a nasty attack by Tasker on an elderly woman who was out shopping during an afternoon in London Road. It left the victim extremely shaken up. The sentence means Tasker will be off the streets and unable to prey on elderly vulnerable victims.
"We would like to thank the members of public who came to the victim's aid on that afternoon."

Haydn Fleury 2019-20 By The Numbers
NHL Seasons: 3
Games Played: 45
Scoring: 4 goals, 10 assists, 14 points
Average TOI: 12:53 ES, 0:00 PP, 0:47 SH
Contract: Finished one-year, $850k contract; Upcoming RFA
Haydn Fleury shouldn't be a seventh defenseman ever again.
After having a back and forth season last year between Charlotte and Carolina, Fleury signed a one-year extension with the Hurricanes for only $850k. Obviously knowing he wasn't getting the time he wanted, Fleury still showed commitment to the team that drafted him and showed that he wanted to prove that he was worth being at the NHL level.
He then spent the majority of this season coming in and out of the lineup as the sixth/seventh defenseman, but when he was finally given increased ice time and responsibility, Fleury finally seemed to grow comfortable as a reliable defender.
With extended ice time and a guaranteed spot on the roster, Fleury's confidence, and subsequently his play, blossomed. When you know one wrong play could mean you're getting yanked from the lineup for a string of games, it can cause some players to become really tense and dull their game. But by allowing him to develop and learn through playing, Fleury's game went from a lackluster beginning to a really solid end.
Not to mention he finally did it. In his 96th career game, in his third NHL season, Fleury finally scored a goal.

Not only that, but he notched three more throughout the season and put up a respectable 10 assists, both career bests.

Outside of seeing a boost in his offensive production, Fleury also saw improvements in his defensive game, namely his physicality, awareness and skating.
Coming into the season, Fleury had joked with reporters that he was going to smile less on the ice and instead increase his intensity and compete level. And the guy with the usual constant smile on his face delivered on that message.
As one of the largest players on the team, fourth in height at 6-foot-3 and second in weight at 221 pounds, Fleury needed to be able to utilize his size. This isn't some Paul Fenton fantasy about larger players being better, but when you can utilize your size into your skill set, that's when it is crucially beneficial. Fleury averaged a hit per game and had seven games with three plus hits, finishing third among Hurricanes defensemen with 48 hits in 45 games.
Fleury also became a force to stand up for his teammates and not let guys run around unchecked.

— Brett Finger (@brett_finger) March 11, 2020
To be fair, Mrazek 100% initiated this contact with Robby Fabbri, but Fleury did not even hesitate to go after him as soon as he saw his goaltender go down. That's the type of player you want to have around, one that cares for and will stand up for his teammates.
Now to be fair, there were two different types of Fleury this season. Before Dougie Hamilton's injury, Fleury did show flashes of brilliance, but his sheltered role and constant flux in and out of the lineup gave him less than stellar performances in those 24 games.
But after Hamilton went down, Fleury saw his usage rate rise and began to flourish in a new stable role. The mistakes still came, but it was less frequent and they were in turn outweighed by the smart plays he began to make with more consistency.
Let's first take a look at where Fleury struggled.
This is a good example of the difference in play that we saw from Fleury throughout the season, and although it is from the first game after Hamilton went down, it's still more like he played in the first half of the season.
Fleury gets beat on the turn around by Ryan Getzlaf and is therefore unable to pressure him behind the net. Then, as Fleury is trying to chase him as he goes around, Fleury chooses to try and poke check the puck from the outside of Getzlaf, along the boards.
This is poor awareness in two ways.
One is positioning, as he is pulled further out of position and he also tries to pressure Getzlaf from behind and along the boards. The second is opponent awareness as Getzlaf is an elite passer. By allowing Getzlaf the whole of the inside of the ice to scan and wait for a play to materialize since he went for the outside poke check, he was mostly at fault for the goal, although the lack of anyone covering Erik Gudbranson on his entry was less than ideal.
Still one can see the lack of confidence in this play as he is just trying to chase him instead of committing to anything.
Now take this play from a month later.
HE. CAN. PLAY. pic.twitter.com/svjbZJ0rbo
— Brett Finger (@brett_finger) February 15, 2020
Perfect body positioning, laying out to cut the initial passing lane and then he still sticks with the play (literally) to cut off the second passing lane Nick Merkley tried to create. Fleury made plays like that with more consistency as his playing time increased.
It wasn't just in his awareness either. In the first half of his season, Fleury had nine giveaways and only three takeaways in his first 24 games. In the last 21, Fleury accounted for 17 more giveaways but 14 more takeaways. In fact, he would have gone positive in that regard if it weren't for three tough games in the last month of hockey that added nine in a short span.
Even past his hockey senses, Fleury skates well up the ice and through transition and his edge work has gotten cleaner and tighter allowing him to actually make plays and find space in the offensive zone, which could account for his rise in production.
All-in-all as the season progressed, Fleury looked more and more like he could be the top-four defenseman that he was drafted to become.
And that is promising seeing as the Hurricanes are facing a real cap crunch currently with the ensuing flat cap as Fleury may be a key part in helping to relieve a bit of that pressure. On an expiring one-year deal, Fleury is still an RFA so he won't be able to test out the market, but I can't see him asking for much in terms of money.
It is true that he has improved significantly, but he is still not a proven defenseman. His good play was only a small sample size and he doesn't have enough body of work to deserve higher-end money.
With the situation Carolina is currently in, Fleury would most likely have to sign either another one-year extension or perhaps go for a bridge deal. Fleury is three seasons out from becoming a UFA, so if he wanted to go that route a three-year deal would walk him there, but it would make more sense for Carolina to go with a two-year deal to retain his negotiation rights.
In terms of price, I'd expect Fleury to fall in the range of $1.85 to $3 million AAV at most, which is still pushing it. He wants to play and he knows the situation the team is in. With a flat cap for at least the next season, a new contract like this would work for both sides; a raise for Fleury and a solid defenseman under budget for the Canes.
How would you grade Haydn Fleury's 2019-20 season?
A - Outstanding Performance
B - Above Average Performance
C - Average Performance
D - Below Average Performance
F - Significantly Below Average Performance
