Milanovich touted as new Argos coach

The Argos made a big push to fill the Rogers Centre for the 100th Grey Cup on Monday.High quality louisvuittonwallets Product of well known brands .

Tuesday or Wednesday they could see an even bigger push to right the franchise with the expected hiring of Scott Milanovich as the team's new head coach.

The irony is a coaching change in Toronto could very well push Grey Cup sales much further than any promotional sales day the Argos' marketing department could envision.Read reviews of Australias top lubvdimabilan from our user community.

Jim Barker, who carried dual titles of head coach and general manger would retain the GM portfolio if Milanovich, a guy Barker brought into the league when he was with Calgary in 2003, took over the sideline duties. Barker was not available for comment Monday and through the weekend was maintaining an undecided status on whether he was ready to relinquish either of his titles.This privacy statement discloses the privacy practices for discountwomencanadagoosecoats.

Coming off a 6-12 season there was always the chance team owner David Braley would insist upon Barker giving up one of the job titles.

TSN was reporting earlier on Monday that Milanovich had agreed verbally to a deal but the two sides had yet to come to a contractual agreement.Search for canadagoosejacketdiscount in Jewellery for Lucknow.

Milanovich would appear to be the perfect tonic for what primarily ails the Argos — namely a punchless offence. Over the past three years he has overseen the most potent offence in the league and while you can argue he had Anthony Calvillo to carry it out, the identity of the Argos quarterback of 2012 remains very much up in the air.

This past season in Montreal, the Als didn't finish the way they wanted (with another Grey Cup) but they were the leading scoring team in the league and had more first downs than any other offence in the league.Publique anuncios sobre chanelfashionhandbags gratis.

Individually Milanovich's offence produced the league's most dangerous quarterback, tailback and receiver. Granted you don't get far without individual talent, but Milanovich's system has to receive some of the credit for Montreal's offensive dominance.

Milanovich entered the league in Calgary but it was in Montreal where he made his name. He joined the Alouettes in 2007 as quarterbacks coach and has been the team's offensive coordinator over the past four years — a stretch that included three trips to the Grey Cup championship game and two wins once there.

Reports this past weekend that Milanovich would join the good ship Argonaut as the team's offensive coordinator were premature. For one thing, the Alouettes would not allow Milanovich to make a lateral move. In order to receive permission to interview Milanovich, the Alouettes required that any move he would make would be a promotion.

Alouettes head coach Marc Trestman, in an e-mail to the Montreal Gazette, confirmed an interview took place last week.

Milanovich is also up for consideration for the Saskatchewan Roughriders vacant head coaching position. Like the Argos, the ‘Riders have received permission to interview Milanovich who interviewed for the same job last off- season when the Green Riders opted to go with defensive whiz Greg Marshall.

The Argos made what turned out to be a half-hearted effort at recruiting Milanovich for the same job two years ago before they hired Barker.

Their offer at that time — something in the $190,000 a year area — was deemed too cheap and Milanovich remained in Montreal as the offensive coordinator for $40,000 less.

The Argos coaching carousel since Michael Clemons stepped down in 2007 has played a huge role in the Argos' inability to be consistent contenders.

Never has that ability been more important than this season when the Argos play host to the historical 100th Grey Cup.

Barker followed up a solid 9-9 season with a disappointing 6-12 mark in 2011. Milanovich, at 38, is still young enough that he would have plenty of growing years left with this team.

It would be a nice first step in the restoration of a once revered franchise that has fallen on some hard times.

Seven tech treats for Christmas

You have to wonder how far our society has fallen when a pushy consumer resorts to assaulting her fellow shoppers with pepper spray in order get her hands on a discounted Xbox console, which is what happened in a Wal-Mart store in Los Angeles over the weekend.

Yes, it's Christmas shopping season again, and while Australians don't generally carry around pepper spray, we do love our gadgets.

With that in mind, we've put together a Christmas shopping list for the tech-savvy business traveller. Here's seven things we'd almost use pepper spray to get our hands on.

1. iPad keyboard case

The gadget that many thought would become the “third device” behind the smartphone and the laptop has become ubiquitous for millions of executives.

When combined with a wireless keyboard, the iPad is becoming a true laptop replacement, transforming the lives of mobile workers.

There's a growing number of devices that combine a case for your iPad with a keyboard, but those on offer from ZAGG are worth getting excited about.

The ZAGGfolio comes in 11 colours, with three keyboard options. At around $130 you'd want to be committed to the idea of turning your iPad into your main travel PC, but you'll also be getting highly durable protection for your tablet which could save you a lot more the next time you drop it.

2. Lytro camera

The Lytro light field camera allows you to point and shoot at anything, and then focus the image later on your PC.

No-one seems to know how this camera actually works, other than its ability to capture more light, but you have to admit being able to adjust the focus of the picture you take after you take it, using just the camera, is a novel concept.

For $US399 you can join the other guinea pigs that will be experimenting with this new form of photography and get a camera that fits in your pocket.

3. Telstra 4G (LTE) dongle

If you travel a lot and speed matters in your line of business, then you've probably already got your hands on Telstra's 4G offering which delivers download speeds of up to 41 megabits per second.I'm looking to buy a canadagoosejackets can anyone direct me?

While not truly 4G as it doesn't reach speeds anywhere near the LTE-A standard of 1 gigabit per second, Technology Spectator reviewer Nerav Bhatt says it offers a significant potential speed increase compared to the sometimes congested Telstra NextG 3G network, and is the best mobile broadband solution for workers with time pressure.

The dongle costs $299 outright for Telstra business customers or is included in the cost of a monthly plan eg: $49/8GB or $39/8GB if bundled.

4. Jawbone UP

Anyone that travels regularly for work knows one of the biggest challenges is maintaining your sleep, diet and exercise routine, all of which can impact performance.

The Jawbone UP is a wristband that tracks all of those things and syncs to your iPhone to help analyse activity and set up regular reminders.

With all that tracking set up, you'll be inspired to live healthier, and it also has a smart alarm feature designed to help wake you up at the optimal time (by monitoring your movements during sleep) so you feel more refreshed during the day.

At $US99.99 the Jawbone website says they're currently on backorder, proving they must be popular with more than just the geeks.

5.Ed Hardy Caps Buy On Sale and pradahandbag with high quality, iPod nano watch

When Apple first announced its new iPod nano with watch faces many saw it as a cheap gimmick. But it didn't take long for smart designers to start building a range of wristbands designed to turn the nano into a functional and stylish watch.

One of those designers, who's product features at Apple's last launch, is Scott Wilson, who used to be creative director for Nike Watches. Wilson managed to raise nearly $US1 million on crowdfunding site Kickstarter.com to make his idea for a watch that fitted Apple's design ethos a reality.

Combine the new iPod nano with Lunatik's latest band – the Lynk,Buy canadagoosesalecheap from thousands of International exporters, and you've got a sleek looking wristwatch that will help ensure you never miss a meeting.Welcome to Find The Best Watches Online-replicawatchessales. You'll have to be keen for the bragging rights however, as the nano will set you back $149 and the wristband another $US129.95.

6. Kobo Touch eInk eReader

In all the tablet hype it's often easy to overlook eBook readers, but as Technology Spectator reviewer Neerav Bhatt explains, they're doing a great job stealing paper and hardback book market share.

If you're serious about reading work-related books while on the move, then you'll need a dedicated book reader with a non-reflective eInk screen which doesn't cause eye strain, can be read in even the brightest sunlight and allows font style or size to be changed.

The Kobo Touch eReader is one such device, and at less than $140 from Collins Booksellers it's one tablet you can unashamedly add to your Christmas wish list for the family.

7. SHOWWX+ Laser Pico Projector

Micro projectors that can be plugged into your phone have been around for a while, but many have had issues with brightness, resolution and image size.

Offering images of up to 250 centimetres, the SHOWWX+ laser pico projector is almost getting to home theatre proportions. It also works with multiple devices, including iPads.

If you spend a lot of time on the road presenting and want something more impressive than your iPad,lvbaglike up over 5 times. this device will set you back around $180.

Another Perspective On Apps

Even by the usual informal standards of the software ind-ustry, Ray Sharma and his businesses make a shambolic first impression.Mr Sharma, chief executive of Toronto-based XMG Studios, chairman of Xtreme Labs, and partner in several other affiliated mobile app and game businesses, is in baggy jeans, a Captain Morgan rum T-shirt and a woollen cap topped with sunglasses. He sips coffee from a polystyrene cup as he greets a visitor in XMG Studios' reception area, which doubles as the staff lounge and kitchen. A pile of pastries near the microwave attests to his practice of buying breakfast for the staff.

The 190 or so employees – almost all young men, predominantly of Asian origin – are scattered across five floors in two adjacent buildings. Consolidating the sites, Mr Sharma says, would strain the only men's toilet on each floor (the women's is in far less demand). "If you're going to have several hundred people between five floors, it's going to get a little chaotic", he says.

"Washrooms are the bottleneck to office design."Mr Sharma is speaking just before flying to India to try to convince Bollywood producers that software developers in Tor-onto can produce games for Indian smartphone users. "I'm thinking there is a huge opportunity to do games for Indians and the Indian market," he says. "The irony is that I'm pitching [to] Indian partners to outsource to us."As he sees it, Xtreme Labs and XMG have a big advantage: a culturally diverse workforce in one of the world's most multicultural cities. He estimates that about half of their employees were born outside of Canada; others are the children of immigrants.

"For game development, multiculturalism allows for different perspectives," he says. "Why perspective is important is that it helps drive creativity, and creativity is the essence of innovation."Away from the reception area, a more conventional picture emerges in Mr Sharma's eyrie-like 16th-floor of-fice. The handsome wooden desk once belonged to the CEO of BCE, Canada's biggest telecoms company, from whom Mr Sharma bought his home in Toronto's fashionable northern suburbs.

Mr Sharma uses an Apple laptop to project a slick presentation on the mobile app and video game markets on to a 46in wall-mounted TV screen. "Games are the driving force of the app economy," Mr Sharma says, citing sources such as Nielsen, ABI Research and PwC. One chart shows that games make up 60 per cent of apps with the highest revenues. Another shows that playing a mobile app game costs 5 cents an hour, versus 18 cents to watch a film on TV or $6.25 for an hour at the cinema.Great selection etareplicawatch of brand replica watches.Mr Sharma, who came to Canada from India as a child, worked as a technology analyst for Credit Suisse First Boston in San Francisco, before moving to BMO Capital and GMP Securities in Toronto.

Then, in 2008, he had an urge to set up his own business. "Ten years in the investment banking ind-ustry was enough," he says. "I started getting a little fatigued, burnt out from that type of work and environment." He adds: "My roots were in every type of cliché entrepreneurial start-up that you have ever heard of – lemonade stand, paper boy, house painter at university."

Mr Sharma's two young daughters gave him the idea in 2009 for XMG Studios, which specialises in smartphone games. "They had this proposal where they wanted to trade in their Nintendo DS games systems,Just go ahead and try and shop around for guccicaps." he says. They wanted iPod Touches instead. "They explained it like this: 'Dad, if we want to get a game, we have to convince you to get up and into the car, and drive to the store'." The two girls had other convincing arguments: "With the app store, you can get free games,With the boom of guess uhrenwatchesstore boutiques, cheap games – if you don't like it, you can return it. You can report a problem. The way they put it was: 'And you get the internet for free'."

His own research revealed that games were by far the most profitable smartphone apps.
XMG Studios has released 10 game brands, led by Drag Racer Pro Tuner, Cows versus Aliens, and Style Studio. Mr Sharma says seven of them have each drawn more than 1m downloads,New laurensweater at discount prices from SwissLuxury. and three have at one time or another been the most popular smartphone games worldwide. Current projects include work for Sony Pictures to develop a game based on a new Ghostbusters film.

Mr Sharma declines to disclose the businesses' financial performance, bey-ond saying they are in "hypergrowth mode", and that Xtreme Labs is profitable while XMG is cash-flow positive. XMG's annual sales are in "mid-single digit millions" he says, while Xtreme Labs' is several times higher.

Xtreme Labs opened a Silicon Valley office in April to get closer access to some big partners and customers. But remaining headquartered in Toronto has tangible advantages: Ontario offers tax credits designed to attract video-game and other technology businesses.

Equally important, Mr Sharma says, is the availability of talent in Canada from across the world. XMG has hired developers from Australia, Germany, the US,Best wholesalebags Have you spent a lot of time looking for the best replica watch for you? the UK and India, where Mr Sharma plans to do more recruiting on his latest trip. His itinerary includes pitches to dev-elop games for several big Bollywood studios: "Bollywood is unusual in that the movie industry is effectively the channel for the music industry.

"The biggest risk is respecting the culture of the Indian consumer. Localisation is more than just translating English to Hindi. It's changing story, art, and even game design to properly target the local market."

The end of the world is nigh when comedian Bob Robertson comes to Winnipeg

Veteran comedy writer Bob Robertson has made a living satirizing the Canadian political landscape.

Along with wife and comedic partner Linda Cullen,What are some new fakerolexsales coming out in 2009? Robertson is one half of the dynamic comedic duo (and show) Double Exposure -- the radio and television program known for its dead-on impersonations of celebrities and political figures.

Now Bob has focused his comedic talents on a different subject altogether, that of the post-apocalyptic landscape and the prophets of doom who are warning us of the end of days.

While for some the end of the Mayan Calendar is no laughing matter, for Robertson it has become the ultimate satire, as his new book Mayan Horror: How to Survive the End of the World in 2012 will have you laughing in the face of doom.

SCENE caught up with Bob on his whirlwind book tour for a Q & A on just what kind of comedy the cataclysm can bring.

What was the inspiration behind writing a book about surviving the apocalypse?
First of all,With the boom of guess uhrenwatchesstore boutiques, I was getting fed up with all these various loonies who were predicting the world would end on such and such a date. Remember Y2K? Remember Harold Camping, etc etc. There's always such hysteria around these dates. The media, of course, help give them legs.

About a year ago I was reading an article in a Toronto paper.Buy replicatagheuer from top rated stores. They were interviewing Seth Rogen and he told them that he'd been talking to Steven Spielberg and George Lucas about a project and, in the middle of the discussion, George Lucas started going on about the world ending when the Mayan Calendar stops,Best wholesalebags Have you spent a lot of time looking for the best replica watch for you? and, eventually, they realized he wasn't joking. I thought, well,The great selection of wholesale authenticpatekphilippewatches at TradeTang. if a supposedly sane man like George Lucas seriously believes this is going to happen we'll have full blown panic in 2012. So, I thought, I should write a book based on the assumption that I thought the world will end too, and then really poke fun at all this nonsense.

What is it about impending doom that can make such good comedic fodder?
Comedians love human foibles and there's no bigger foible than thinking that God (if there is one), or the Mayans have some incredible power that could bring the world to an end and why would they want to anyway? In the face of those beliefs, Mother Goose is much more credible.

Were the Mayans simply the ultimate pessimists?
From what I know there were some Mayans who were brilliant mathematicians and astronomers, but most of the Mayans spent their time attacking other villages and eating the residents. The only thing they had to be pessimistic about was not getting enough brains to eat when they were passing them around.

The book teaches some points on not only surviving the apocalypse, but that you canPhoto-for-business-card10 For Blog shot.jpg prosper from it financially. What are some good end of days investments to be had?
The biggest and one that I recommend is that after the dust has settled on the post-apocalyptic landscape, you should start going through the thousands of wrecked cars and trucks. Open the glove compartments and you'll find all sorts of Canadian Tire money stuffed in there (if it's anything like my car). You will be the owner of the only currency on earth and you will rule.

What are some must have items to be sporting for doomsday?
Plenty of life jackets if there's a biblical flood. Screens on your windows if it's a swarm of flies. If it's an earthquake, you should quickly get underneath something that won't come down, a door frame, a desk...Google shares. And, always, Popeil's Pocket Fisherman. You'll eat when others are trying to pick berries.

You are presenting in Winnipeg tonight, are these prairies ideally situated to survive out the Armageddon?
I've got a chapter in the book called the Ten Safest Places in Canada to Wait out the Apocalypse. #1 is the Diefenbunker but #2 is the HudBay Mining smelter in Flin Flon. It's way underground, but also that's where they grew medical marijuana for a few years and I reckoned there might still be a few plants left lying around. Another point I make is that if the earth freezes over, Prairie people are the only ones who know how to drive in it.

Blue Jackets worst of teams off to slow starts

Blue Jackets worst of teams off to slow starts; Stanley Cup finalists turning season around

At the start of the month, the Columbus Blue Jackets were among the worst teams in the NHL and had Ken Hitchcock along for the ride.

He had coached the Blue Jackets before, was still with the organization as a consultant and his name swirled in rumors that he'd take over for embattled coach Scott Arniel.


When the Blue Jackets decided not to make a change, the St. Louis Blues pounced and hired Hitchcock to help resuscitate their stumbling franchise.

Based on early returns,tagheuerwatchesstoresaleonline for sale lowest price $50. score this move a win for the Blues — and another miscalculation by Columbus.

Hitchcock is 3-0-1 with the Blues — a point total in four games that matches Columbus' season mark in 17 games (3-13-1).

Hitchcock, who won a Stanley Cup with Dallas, has revived the Blues' hopes of a playoff run, leading them from 14th place in the Western Conference to the middle of the pack. But maybe even Hitchcock couldn't fix the NHL-worst Blue Jackets, the only team that has yet to reach double digits in points.

While last year's Stanley Cup finalists — Boston and Vancouver — are off to slow starts, no team can already count on another postseason spent at home like Columbus.Buy these newerahatsshop on line.

"We know we have a good team, but for whatever reason we haven't been able to get anything going," winger Derek Dorsett said.

Team captain Rick Nash had high expectations, thoughts of a postseason run seemed reachable,Take advantage of our cheappaneraiwatcheswholesale today. entering the season. Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson made a string of bold moves, acquiring 30-goal scorer Jeff Carter from Philadelphia, puck-moving defenseman James Wisniewski,Live Cycle cheapoakleysunglasses for men and ladies . sniper Vinny Prospal and steady blue-liner Radek Martinek.

Carter, however, just returned after missing most of the season with a broken foot and has yet to score a goal. Wisniewski was suspended for the first eight games of the season for a hit to the head of Minnesota forward Cal Clutterbuck. Forward Jared Boll missed the first 14 games with a broken thumb.

Nash, the go-to scorer and face of the franchise, has just four goals this season.

It's just not working in Columbus and Arniel remains on the hot seat.

"We've hit a lot of bottoms this year," Arniel said.The lubvdimabilan offered by our store are made following the original technology .

The Blues couldn't let a chance at jostling into the playoff picture over the winter months slip away, so they fired Davis Payne in the final year of his contract after a lackluster 6-7 start. The Blues have missed the playoffs five times in the last six seasons.

Enter Hitchcock — and a dash of bravado that has sparked St. Louis.

"My strength is building teams," Hitchcock said when he was hired.

He's building again in St. Louis. The Blues have scored a power-play goal in three of his four games after totaling just three power-play goals in the first 13 games.

The Blue Jackets are counting on Hitchcock to work his magic again by turning a Blues team that added veteran Stanley Cup winners such as Jason Arnott, Kent Huskins and Jamie Langenbrunner in the offseason into a Western Conference playoff team.

But a look around the league entering Wednesday's games shows there are a plenty of teams that hope a slow start won't cost them in the long run.
