Free Online Timer

Transcript of today's Blue Jackets online chat

[Rob_(moderator)] Hi, Porty. Ready to face Jacket Nation?

[Portzline] I hate that phrase. Sorry. It's always driven me crazy. Yep. Let's go.

[Rob_(moderator)] Before we start, I want to give a big shout-out to ... oh, never mind. Here we go ...

[Kevo] Now that the Cup Finals are over and the focus has turned to the draft, it's common knowledge that the Jackets need to move the 8th pick. With the Carter to CBJ rumors being just that, are there any other murmurs out there about what Howson plans to do to fill the two gaping organizational holes?

[Portzline] As you noted, the Blue Jackets talked to Philly about Carter, both in recent weeks (the NHL scouting combine) and as far back as last season, probably in January. That's all that's been reported to this point. The Flyers won't part with Carter without exhausting all other possibilities, but we'll see. First order there is getting Byrzgalov signed. That will determine how much money they have to clear. Two other teams are said to be wanting to move bodies for picks: Edmonton and Minnesota. The Oilers will part with Ales Hemsky (Howson has always held him in high regard), and the Wild are willing, reportedly, to part with defenseman Brent Burns. I don't think the No. 8 pick alone would fetch Burns, and I think it's too much for Hemsky. But we shall see. It's going to be a fun week.

[PortiesMaloneGate] AP, you and Arace mentioned in Cannon Fodder that some of the front office staff don't necessarily understand the bond that existed between this market and the first few teams, It almost seemed like you guys stopped short of further going down that rabbit hole... I understand if you cannot name names but can you provide some clarity to those comments?

[Portzline] It's a feeling, and it's held by far more people than just me and my esteemed colleague. I've talked to former players who hear people in Columbus talk about establishing roots with fans and getting the market off the ground, and that leaves them flummoxed. The roots were here, they note, but the years of losing and an increasing detachment between the organization and the fan base, has led them to wither on the vine. There are very few people left now who fully understand how special those first few years were, the love affair that existed between the players and the fans and the city. It's common to hear visiting media say "It's a shame" when they come to town and see the building. They remember what it used to be.

How To Use Online Timer Within Your Browser

Whether you are a web designer, blogger or an online entrepreneur, we all need timers at some point to calculate the time needed to complete a specific job. Either you can use wrist watch or your smart phone having such facility or you can use an application on your PC. How about getting the same facility right within the browser? Well, there's a handy timer facility that lets you use different level of timers right within your web browser. There are two types of configuration for timers. One type of timers cannot be stopped (though they can be switched off altogether) in between. While second type, which are more flexible have the facility of pausing or resetting them any time. The interface is minimal with almost no distractions, which is a prerequisite for any timer application. I find it very handy for calculating page load speed times on a local development server.
