In the history of the game, no one was better at creating scoring chances and goals than Wayne Gretzky. And really, it is not even close. Wayne Gretzky's ability to think the game, send the puck to isolated places where the shooter had daylight and an angle was breathtaking.
When Wayne Gretzky was 6 years old, his father built a rink in the family's backyard. On that lonely sheet of ice, the young Gretzky honed his skills and worked for many hours on becoming a better hockey player. He became so good at it, playing against kids his own age was deemed unfair. At six.
Wayne Gretzky became famous as a child for extraordinary feats of goal scoring. He began playing against older boys--at six he played against 10 year olds and scored just one goal--but he quickly became the best player even against much older competition. The phenom scored 378 goals at the Pee Wee level in Brantford. He became known as "the White Tornado" and each season of hockey saw him step up a level of competition and then beat it down as though it were a walk in the park.
From the age of 6, Wayne Gretzky of the Brantford Steelers had the following goal totals in the Ontario Minor Hockey Association:
- Age 6: 1
- Age 7: 27
- Age 8 104
- Age 9: 196
- Age 10: 378 (in 85gp)
By 1975, Wayne Gretzky had moved to Toronto (played for the Nationals of the legendary Metro Toronto Junior "B" League) and scored 60 points in 28 games. In 1977-78, a decade after he began gaining fame, the teenager skated onto OHA (modern OHL) ice as a regular to show the boys what he could do.
He was 16. In his one full season in the OHA, Wayne Gretzky scored (regular season and playoffs) 76gp, 76-132-208. He finished 2nd in scoring that season, to 19-year old Bobby Smith (he turned 20 in February of that year).
At this point in NHL history, Wayne Gretzky would be three years from being draft eligible. Although his talent and drive clearly screamed higher levels, the rules of the game at that time meant NHL teams could not find a way to retain his talents and for Wayne Gretzky to turn pro.
Gretzky at that point was too good for junior (or at least it looked like we would be) and the youngster also had an urge to play at the highest possible level despite his youth. The NHL approached the issue as "the rules are rules", but the outlaw World Hockey Association had been flirting with the idea of drafting underage players for at least a year--in fact, they had drafted Ken Lineseman as an underager in 1977.
Its important to understand the climate at this time (this is spring 1978). The player has expressed interest in signing a pro contract--perhaps in Europe--in order to further push his skills. The WHA made overtures in the spring, and in April 1978 Gretzky's agent (Gus Badali) was quoted as saying the young man would forego the final three years of his junior eligibility and sign with the fledgling league should he be drafted. THIS brought forward more hell than a little bit:
- Iona Campagnolo, federal minister of fitness and amateur sport meets with Ben Hatskin, CEO of the WHA in May and tells him the federal government would object to any signings of underage players. Campagnolo: "Mr Hatskin indicated to me that the league has no intention of signing underage players. However, he also said member clubs may have other ideas."
On June 12, 1978, Nelson Skalbania of the Indianapolis Racers announced that he had signed Wayne Gretzky to a 7-year, $1.75M personal services contract. The gifted youngster had slipped through the fingers of the OHA, and the NHL. This began a long series of idiotic quotes from respected hockey men about Gretzky's ability--altough offsetting this was Jim McAuley, the owner of the Sault Ste Marie club--who said his first thought was to shut down the club (hyperbole and overreaction became commonplace during this period).
Del Wilson--long the Montreal Canadiens scouting director and an exceptional judge of NHL talent, was quoted as saying "this is a complete disaster. He's a great hockey player, but he's not ready for the pro's. He'll be playing against guys 30 years and older." This was followed by other extraordinary claims, like the whopper that got a lot of play during this time suggesting the young Gretzky didn't have enough talent to make the 1950 Maple Leafs (don't ask me, there was some weird stuff going on about Gretzky before he flattened the NHL in 79-80).
Nelson Skalbania sold Wayne Gretzky on a Thursday (Nov. 2, 1978--34 years ago today) and was the first of two men who should have known better. Gretzky, whose motivation was to play hockey at the highest possible level, expressed frustration at the move:
Once Gretzky arrived in Edmonton, it didn't take long for a bond to form between player and his new city. Gretzky got off the plane as an impact player, and in his first season in Edmonton (and the final WHA season) #99 posted 72, 43-61-104 totals. That single WHA season gets overlooked a lot, but it was very important in establishing Gretzky as a player who could compete at that level. Gretzky himself wasn't sure--he told his agent Gus Badali that he'd score 20 goals and 40 assists--and probably gave him the confidence to enter the NHL in 1979-80 confident of success.
On January 28, 1979, Wayne Gretzky signed a 21-year contract with Peter Pocklington.
From fall 1979 through his departure from Edmonton (Peter Pocklington, the second man who should have known better, sold his contract to Los Angeles), Wayne Gretzky provided Edmonton and Oiler fans with the highest "peak value" of any player in NHL history. There are no words strong enough to describe the dominance: he was so far beyond what had come before it took years to adjust to the point totals. Even today, Gretzky's peak seasons look like some kind of fantasy, some impossible misprint in the book of hockey's past.
Gretzky's most effective skill was his ability to see the ice, the players and their position and to find the best option for scoring chances. When I was a young man, I'd go to Oilers games with buddies or my wife and watch from the bleeders. Some think it's a horrible place to watch the game but for me it was an education in the talent and vision of Wayne Gretzky. I've said this before, but the beauty of his game was knowing where the open spaces were and who could get there. Many of his passes looked seeing-eye or lucky, but he had a sixth sense and would send the puck to places where Kurri or some other player was heading. Walter Gretzky has spoken many times on this subject and that ability made defending #99 impossible on many shifts.
The gift of Gretzky was that all of his efforts were dedicated to finding the best offensive opportunities that ran counter to the coverage rules of the game.
He was a beauty and it was a privilege to watch him play. I absolutely hate it when old guys (like me) say things like "we'll never see his equal" but in this case it fits. The Great One? That doesn't begin to tell the story.

It was a sale. If someone calls it a trade, slap them.
August 9, 1988: Oilers trade Wayne Gretzky, Mike Krushelnyski and Marty McSorley to Los Angeles for cash, Jimmy Carson, Martin Gelinas and 3 first round picks (1989, 1991, 1993).
His style was unique and almost impenetrable. The area behind the opposition goal was dubbed "Gretzky's office" because it was from there that he made so many perfect passes for goals. He was equally known for using the trailing man on rushes rather than a man skating ahead of him. Gretzky would come in over the blue line and then curl, waiting for a defenseman, often Coffey, to join the rush and create a great scoring chance. When on the ice to kill penalties, Gretzky wasn't looking to ice the puck in a defensive role; he was looking to take the other team by surprise, to take advantage of their defenselessness to score shorthanded. The result was goals and more goals - the Oilers scoring 400 a season as a matter of routine - and Gretzky won the scoring race virtually every year in the 1980s.
There are those who think that Gretzky has already established himself as the heir to a tradition of superheroes that dates back to Howie Morenz, whose magic helped the league move from its Canadian beginnings to the bright lights of Broadway, or before Morenz, Joe Malone, who scored 44 goals in the first season the NHL ever played. Gretzky's importance to the Oilers is impossible to exaggerate. The 137 scoring points he accumulated last year meant he was involved in 44 per cent of their goals.

terrific article...i was in the stands for Gretzky's 1st WHA game for the Oilers and he was electric! great memories. i couldn't believe this 17 year old was eating up much older (and sometimes much slower) experienced former NHL players...it was a sight to behold!

I get goosebumps reading stories about Gretzky. I was born in '86, but some of my earliest memories are going to those games with my dad. I'm really grateful for being given the chance to see such a huge part of hockey history in person.
It's also one of the reasons why I took him to the first (new) Jets game last year. My girlfriend wasn't too impressed, but I don't regret that decision in the least.
My first glimpse of Wayne was at a Ottawa 67's game in the spring of 1978. It was billed as a battle of the scoring leaders. I attended the game with my father in law, who had watched hockey since the 1920's. Ottawa won the game and Bobby Smith won the head to head battle, but he did have the better supporting cast. On the way out of the rink, my father in law , who had seem Morenz, Joliat and Richard many times, told me Gretzky was the best hockey player he had ever seen. I thought he was probably incorrect, but he had told me in 1972 that the Russians were the better hockey team.
As if the Greatness wasn't enough, but he also had class to match. What does he do at the end of the celebration after the OT goal in Calgary?...He notices a fan (I assume an Oiler fan in Calgary, probably a kid) and goes over and gives them his stick. So classy!
Also, Lowetide I remember hearing back in his Edmonton days that Gretzky had his vision tested by some expert and they said his peripheral vision was off the charts. Apparently like nothing this eye doctor had ever seen. Might help to explain his '6th sense' on the ice. Not sure if this is true or just urban myth. Had you ever heard that story?
Love Gretz!
November 02 2012, 08:27AM
Back in '79, I thought that Pocklington was akin to a god. How things changed a decade later. Gretzky spoiled me as a hockey fan. Nothing will likely compare to those wonderful days of my Oiler fanhood.
I was born in the early 80's. Man I really wish I could have enjoyed back then like I would if it was now.
The last decade I have been watching Shawn Horcoff and Moreau lighting it up. *Sigh*
November 02 2012, 08:50AM
I'm disappointed. I thought this article was going to be about Wanye Gretz.
That Gretzky guy was pretty good too though.
Hmmm... Gretzky? Never heard of him!
November 02 2012, 09:08AM
Ya.....the good 'Ol days. I remember having hockey drafts as a kid and you could only pick Gretzky for assists, or goals, but not both. Back then hockey was just fun, we didn't analyze stats, or think about salaries, there was no such thing as "Pro-Line" and Candian teams were the best in the league....and Gretzky was a hero, idol, legend, not just a hockey player.
I was there On January 28, 1979. It only makes the sale that much worse.
As the hit man once used to say back in the day:
Best there is,best there was,best there ever will be.
With 99 it is the truth.
One record not listed, but maybe because it's not really and officially tracked statistic rather than a benchmark created by the players/fans/media is his fastest to 50 goals record: 50 in 39. One thing about those days - look at the goalies and how small their equipment was... Now they cover 75% of the net just standing there... I have a feeling #99's records will in fact last forever - unless the increase the size of the nets, or reduce goalie equipment to 80's sizes...
November 02 2012, 10:06AM
So. I was maybe 5 or so in 84. My dad was in law school and on occassion when the Leafs were in town he'd take me to the game. I remember vividly after probably the 3rd period as the Oil are exiting the surface me leaning over the rail above them watching Gretzky followed by Coffee and Kurri come of the ice.
As they came I yelled, "GRETZKY! GRETZKY! GRETZKY!!!" At the moment they were just to pass underneath a large bit of drool dripped out of my mouth and plopped right on either his, coffee or kurri's helmet...
I bolt back to my seat. My dad, "did you see him?" Me, "Nope." "Are you sure, I heard you yelling his name?" "Nope. Somebody else."
Man I miss those drool filled days of yore...and awesome, awesome hockey.

I was born in 1979 and was fortunate to learn about hockey by watching the best to ever play.
Wayne Gretzky is the reason I'm an Oilers fan despite my Dad cheering for the Flames. Gretz is the reason I'm an Oilers fan living in Calgary today.
As a youngster I definitely didn't know how special these players were, but looking back I cannot believe how lucky I was. The impression made by those 80's Oilers teams are why I cannot imagine cheering for anyone else, ever.
It's also the reason I'll be watching again after the THIRD stoppage in my short-ish lifetime.
Question: What name was on the back of your first "official" Oilers jersey?
Mine was Tikkanen. My Dad and I drove from Fort McMurray to attend my first in-person NHL game. He dad bought it for me during the first intermission, and I had to wait until the second intermission because they had to have the guy come press Tiki's name and number on it.

I too was at that game. I had followed his career for the previous couple of years. I was ecstatic to hear of the trade. I believe Eddie Mio and Peter Driscoll came with him. They played the Jets that night.
I remember his goal,too. This skinny Kid, coming over the blueline, fading to his left,on one leg,and scoreing on a slapshot to the far side of the net, a move that was to be repeated many times over his career. I think Daly was in net.
He was so skinny, my only fear at that time was that he might get destroyed. No one was ever more aware on the ice than him,which enabled him to survive and flourish as a player.That, we will never see again.
November 02 2012, 10:58AM
If i hadn't seen it with my own eyes, one would think he's as mythical as Batman,Superman or Spiderman.

Yes it was a young kid in Oiler gear , they showed him a few times during the game , i wonder if that kid still has that stick or probably cashed it in by now on Ebay LOL

I remember that moment as well. Dad and son where standing in the isle waiting to make their way up to the concourse. Wayne notice the boy out of the corner of his eye, he skated over to the end of the bench and tapped the boy on the shoulder with his stick offering it to him.
Think i was the first kid to ever receive one of Wayne Gretzkys sticks in Edmonton. After his first practice as an Oiler, he gave me an old school Northland as he headed off the ice.

Mine was a Gretzky, and we all had the red and white Titan sticks, and always tucked in the one side of the jersey. To many, like me, he was my idol as a kid playing street hockey. Great article LT!
November 02 2012, 12:26PM
I remember crying on the day in 1988 when that criminal sold Gretzky.
November 02 2012, 12:27PM
breathtaking is the right word. i can barely type. tears are flowing.
thank you, LT
What contributes to the liklihood that his numbers will never be matched is the quality of his teammates. With the changes over the years, you'll likely never see another team with that many top quality players again.
I can remember watching the Oilers come back from maybe a 6-1 deposit to win 8-7. Something like that. Fans didn't leave early when the Oilers were down. There was always a chance they'd come back.
My brother said 'Enjoy this. It's not going to last. We're very lucky to get to witness it.' At the time I thought it made some sense but I didn't think we'd have a 20+ year dry spell.
The shot over Vernon was the best hockey memory I have. When I am in the home, nattering about something 'er other, it will be about that. I hope I end up in a nursing home in Calgary...just to rub it in.
November 02 2012, 01:09PM
It was something to be an Oiler fan in those heady days. Total and complete dominance.
Kind of sets the bar pretty high when evaluating other teams. Like when Wings fans go on about their players and team. Very good, but not what we know great is, not even close.
The record that strikes me is 15 - 100 point seasons. Think about that, it is insane. He scored 100 points over a time frame longer than most NHL careers. The next closest are Lemieux with 10 and then Bossy and Statsny with 7. Bobby Orr with 6 is nuts.
To think Lemieux was in the league at the same time, the two greatest offensive players ever. That I doubt we'll see again.
November 02 2012, 01:57PM
What a puck hawk. It's like watching Datsyuk in a beer league.
November 02 2012, 02:21PM
I watched every second of hockey when Gretzky was playing, especially on TV.
He was even better live as you could better see what he was preparing to do......create something out of nothing. In his last game played in Calgary, he passed the puck to himself by banking it off the side of the net, retrieved it, did his patented swirl move behind the net, and passed it to a open player in the slot.
If you did not see it in person, you would not believe what he did,.........pure magic is what he brought each and every night!
Wayne was pretty good, but he is no Kyle Wellwood.
November 02 2012, 06:59PM
I wen"t out and bought season tickets as soon as I heard we got 99. row 34, center ice. I believe the tickets were either $15 or $17, can"t remember. One of the better plays 99 did was against St. Louis. (2nd or 3rd year) I have never heard anyone talk about it or show it. He got the puck on there blue line (left side) and 3 St. louis players went at him each about a 1/4 of a second apart. 99 was close to the boards and as each come at him he faked like he was taking the puck. Each went for the fake and after all 3 were by him he finally touched the puck. During all of this the puck never moved. He then had a break away but did not score. This is probably why it was never shown again. Does anybody recall this move?
What a puck hawk. It's like watching Datsyuk in a beer league.
November 02 2012, 10:23PM
I still have my 'Oilers-99=0' t-shirt. It still fits, oh yaaa.
Here is one of my Gretz stories: I was picking up my sister at the airport, at the same time Gretz was dropping Colin Campbell off at the airport after he was traded to Vancouver. We exchanged 'hows it going?' as he left. Then a little kid approached ME and asked for an autograph.
My first oil jersey was #47 with 'Snort' on the back. Seemed funny at the time.

There is something beautiful about Gretzkys slapshot,he only used it in very safe areas in relativly close, because he was always headhunted he was very picky with his spots,and his bent over skating style somehow lent itself to the way he used that shot.But its simply beautiful to watch.It almost seems like he intentionally goes through the first two thirds of the shot in slo-mo and then zips it right at the end,a hesitation then a snap.
I have never seen a team shoot the puck so freely as the old Oilers did,they didnt hesitate ever, some of those releases were so fast they are hard to catch.I dont know how I forgot it but Wayne was always a direct goal scoring threat,he was always taking it straight to the net first and he built a lot of his points off of that direct line,but somehow I remember him as a passer first,and as I watch his career highlights I realise how wrong that is,he was a scoring threat every time he had the puck and he wasnt exactly pass happy unless he had to be.I wonder if that bent over skating style gave him a tad more reach or was just a way to protect his head??Wow were we ever lucky to have him here.Thanks wayne.
I saw Gretzky at the Coliseum a few weeks after he got off the plane. I couldn't get over how small he looked--a skinny kid. Couldn't believe this was the guy all the fuss was about. Soon saw why.
I still laugh about his first car in Edmonton--a crappy old rusty orange used Porsche 914. Look up the pictures on Google--it was a hideous car, and not a "real" Porsche, not even close. I'd love to hear the story about how and why he bought/got that thing.
November 03 2012, 09:27AM
Its the type of goal we all wanted to score , rocket top shelf under the bar ..beauty!!!
November 03 2012, 10:33AM
This Wayne fellow you speak of ... Is he any relation to Twitter Temptress, Paulina Gretzky?
What is really striking about the Gretzky story is the series of improbable and lucky events that had to occur perfectly in the late 1970s in order for Wayne to land in Edmonton. Life is a game of inches and the stars literally aligned the right way for Edmonton.

Windows Azure Lessons Learned: Active Web Solutions
Download this episode
There are not many solutions that can claim to have saved lives. In this episode of Lessons Learned I chat with Richard Prodger of Active Web Solutions about the Windows Azure project they've been working on that tracks fishermen in real time. It monitors not only their location but also their status so as to immediately raise the alarm if help is needed (e.g. fallen off the side of a boat or pressed a panic button). This solution is already credited with saving the lives of 9 fishermen.
Electronics on the fishing vessels communicate directly via satellite to the Windows Azure solution.

- Brief Synopsis:
- Willie hires a pilot to search for her father lost in war.
- Long Synopsis:
- from the back cover: "Twenty years after her father's plane crashed in the jungles of Southeast Asia, Willy Jane Maitland was finally tracking his last moves. She recognized the dangers, but her search for the truth about that fateful flight was the only thing that mattered. Rough, irreverent ex-army officer Guy Barnard knew the jungles and the workings of the mystical Asian country-and Willy knew she couldn't proceed without him. But in a place where truth had many faces, she suspected even Guy had hidden motives. What she wasn't prepared for were the shocking secrets and undeniable attractions."

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

One of the easiest to digest. Be careful if for any reason the cap gets punctured...it will color your skin orange! If you are not convinced that supplements make a difference...I got asked out by a 24 year old who could not believe I was almost 50! It is not only the CoQ10 but I make that part of my DAILY supplementation. Younger than young grandma in Texas.

The real deal

I was taking mega co q 10 and decided to try this product. This is an excellent product. It is one of those products, when you take it, it is like somebody turned on the switch. I am incredibly energized and rejuvenated since I have been taking this product. Highly recommended
High quality Co-Q10
Posted by AntonisZ on Dec 16, 2014
I don't think that there's a better quality than Healthy Origins Co-Q10. I have tried a few other brands and I can tell the difference from personal experience. 400 mg in a softgel, just what my heart and skin needs to keep functioning and looking great! I will stock up since it's amazing value for the money!
Deeply Disappointed
Posted by Reviewer1908266 on Sep 18, 2014
On 1x400 mg of CoQ10 from Natural Factors, my husband's serum CoQ10 was 2.20. Now on 2x400 mg of CoQ10 from Healthy Origins, his serum CoQ10 is 1.61. We are running back to Natural Factors.

I'm currently on an airplane (clearly not as I post this, but as I write this) on my way to San Jose. Don't ask, just accept. Last night I was puttering around the house, bored to death as I usually am this time of year. I decided I wanted to make something. The problem with this was that I didn't know what to make. I had decided on savory, but was rebuked by a certain female parent of mine, who also added that I should use up the package of filo in the freezer. Due to my 6 AM wake-up call, I couldn't really occupy my time with anything substantial, and since my first (and only) experiment with filo was a bit of a disaster, I decided that I would make something that embraced my poor filo-wrangling skills.
For those of us who have the uncanny ability to rip every single sheet of this paper-like dough, it is imperative that we touch it as little as possible, utilizing as little tension as possible. This means that cutting is out. This also means that minimal folding is in, as is rolling. Oh, and any filling with potentially sharp edges? Death wish (you know, for the filo). First and foremost, I was inspired by the Nutella obsession currently making its way through my Twitter feed. The problem with using just Nutella is that it isn't a very bulky filling, which means the filo would require cutting, and if not cutting, lots of folding to pare down one sheet. My Nutella needed a friend.
A Love Story: Nutella, meet Banana. Banana, meet Nutella. Together at last. And then they found a lawyer and adopted some toasted coconut. The End. Freaking delicious. Look, I know it's not normal to look at a banana and declare that you're going to smother it in Nutella and then wrap it in filo such that it resembles a poorly executed tribute to a yet-to-be-determined hazelnut-loving fertility god. I didn't intend for it to be so...phallic. I originally intended for it to look like a banana wrapped in filo. You see, my dears, I went against the rules and tried to wrap a banana--as is--in filo, and this was the result:
|Ugliest picture to ever grace this blog. Small in size to protect your virtue.
Not pretty, right? I quickly learned that a slight adjustment in both the angle and curvature of the banana made all the difference (as such adjustments ought to do). My adventurous spirit triggered the ultimate success: an easy peasy suggestive dessert, sure to lighten up everyone's mood (regardless of one's tendency to live in the gutter).

Sum any set of rows by clicking anywhere (not red or blue) on the
first and last rows of your selection. We will then compute the
totals for the player between and including those two seasons.
Default Setting for this feature: Turn On / Turn Off
Summation of season totals only works for the initial case when the table is in year order. On a sorted table the results may get a bit goofy.
HIGHLIGHTING: Adding a range or series of player's career seasons or career game numbers (like '#1972:batting_standard', '#1970-1980-sum:batting_standard', or '#1998,1999,2001,2002,sum:pitching_standard') onto the end of a player page url causes the seasons to the highlighted and summed. After changing address bar, reload the page to see highlighting. This will work even in links e-mailed to others. Note that for tables with multiple pages the first table is the default. If you want to create a sum for a table other than the first one, select the rows and after the summation window appears click on "permanent link" link.

There's nothing like a 5.8 earthquake, in an area that doesn't often have that sort of event, to focus your attention.
At the time, I was talking on the phone with a federal union official when she said, "The building is moving, I think we're having an earthquake." Right at that moment I felt it too. We all did. Being an East Coast type I have never felt the earth move (that way), but I knew right away what it was. I wasn't the first to leave our building, but I definitely wasn't the last either. Some of our reporters, and those of our big sister station (WTOP) which is upstairs, stayed at their posts. Most of us were back at work within five minutes.
Reporters and editors were busy checking with the police, transit officials and, of course, federal agencies. We learned about the cracks in the Washington Monument, that the Pentagon and Capitol were evacuated, and of damage to the National Cathedral, which is a block and a half away from our offices here in Northwest D.C. Buses were packed as many early-release feds decided they did not want to be underground on Metro in case of an aftershock.
Cell phones didn't work for awhile. Land lines and e-mail did.
Some feds miss out on pay raise as salary compression worsens
Some feds miss out on pay raise as salary compression worsens
Most people in our office worked out their shifts and many stayed late. Fine, up to a point!
Always thinking outside the box, I volunteered to leave early and monitor traffic. I picked up some wine in case I had to save, treat or shelter refugees in the neighborhood. I'm like the Cabinet officer who doesn't attend the State of the Union address. Like, who's going to run things if there is a problem. I accept that responsibility.
A friend, a retired engineer with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, checked with a colleague about the status of nuclear power plants in nearby Maryland and Virginia. One is only a few miles from the epicenter of the quake. And so it went all day.
Federal offices from New York City, Boston and along the Canadian border to Charleston, S.C., were impacted to some degree. We got the most attention because we're the closest big city (except for Richmond, Va.,) to the center of the quake. And we've got the most feds too.
U.S. Geological Survey employee/experts were all over radio and TV. The ones I saw did an excellent job explaining, in layman's terms, what happened. They were followed by National Weather Service personnel explaining about the approaching hurricane.
About 4 hours after we felt the first (of three) quakes, this message arrived by e-mail from S.F. He said:
"My understanding is that the problems caused by the natural event were dwarfed by the man-made problems caused by releasing Fed employees all at the same time. Seems like a metaphor for Washington lately." Hmmm. Come to think of it most of the elected VIPs are out of town! This may be why things went as smoothly as they did.
Imagine what it would have been like had 500 camera-crazed, microphone obsessed been available for comment and, worse yet, advice? Yep. We definitely dodged a bullet.

Forrest Leroy Thompson
Funeral services for Forrest Leroy Thompson will be held at 10 a.m. on Monday, April 30 at Memorial Hall (old High School gymnasium). Burial will follow at Peel Cemetery.
Forrest Leroy Thompson was born in Cortez, Colo. on April 30, 1959 to Charles Chuck and Joan Thompson, the second of three boys. As a teenager he made a profession of faith and followed the Lord in baptism at the First Baptist Church. He attended school at Dolores County where he graduated with the class of 1977. While attending high school he was active in sports. He planned to participate in sports every season during his senior year. However during the final month of his Junior year he suffered a broken leg. He spent the summer in a cast and was unable to participate in any sports at all during his Senior year.
After graduating from high school, he attended San Juan Vo-Tech School where he studied building construction. After completing his studies at the Vo-Tech School he went to work for Union Carbide at the Deremo-Snyder uranium mine.
On June 24, 1978 he married Janelle Hatfield. When the work at the mines played out, Leroy worked at various other jobs until he entered the New Mexico State Police academy in Santa Fe, N.M. Upon graduating from the academy, he and Janelle moved to Clayton, N.M. where he was assigned with the New Mexico State Police. His marriage to Janelle ended in divorce.
Leroy then met and married Janet Thompson. They married March 14, 1990 and moved to Eagle Nest, N.M. That is where Leroy was assigned with the New Mexico State Police. Shortly after moving to Eagle Nest, the most exciting event of Leroys life happened. His precious son Zachariah Landon was born on January 21, 1992.
Leroy (Forrest to the people of New Mexico) spent several years with the New Mexico Police but eventually resigned to work in the building industry. He worked with his good friend Tim Hunt for a number of years. With the downturn of the economy, the building industry became so slow. Leroy embarked on another facet of his life. He again went to work for the State of New Mexico with the Childrens Youth and Family Services. He also continued to work on building projects in his spare time.
Leroy had served in the Planning and Zoning Commission and was currently serving on the Eagle Nest City Council. Eagle Nest Mayor Richard Cordova was quoted in the Sangre de Cristo Chronicle as saying He was a good man. He looked after everybody. He was for the people always. Ive worked with Forrest and he was always a good and fair man and everybody had a lot of respect for him. We all looked up to him as far as issues that came before the council. He was always straight forward on what was right and wrong.
Forrest Leroy Thompson departed this life on April 22, 2012 the result of a motorcycle accident.
He leaves to mourn his passing, his parents, Chuck and Joan of Dove Creek, Colo.; his son, Zach of Salt Lake City, Utah; his beloved Nancy of Eagle Nest, N.M. and her family, Cris, Selena, Nathen and Lindsay of Rio Rancho, N.M.; his brother, Charles Eugene and wife, Julie of Clifton, Colo.; two nephews, Chance and wife, Shelly and Derik of Dove Creek, Colo.; one niece, Charlene Curtis of Dove Creek, Colo.; and a host of family and friends. He was preceded in death by an infant sister, Dana Charlene; one brother, Timothy; as well as his grandparents, Frosty and Myra Thompson and his Granny Maude Evans.
Leroy will be greatly missed.

Introduction to Toulouse-Lautrec
Toulouse-Lautrec is the National Gallery of Australia's next summer exhibition and will run from 14 December 2012 to 2 April 2013. The Australian public have never before had the opportunity to see a major retrospective exhibition devoted to the art of French 19th century artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in painting, drawing, posters and prints.
Toulouse-Lautrec will examine the artist's abilities as an acute observer of Parisian life, his skill as a draughtsman, his experimentation in composition and the brilliance of his technical execution in all media. The exhibition will shed new light on Toulouse-Lautrec through an examination of his involvement in Parisian culture—the high life and the low life.

Filmmaker Joss Whedon ('The Avengers') used a low-budget method in adapting Shakespeare's 'Much Ado About Nothing.'
AUSTIN — In Joss Whedon's hands, Much Ado About Nothing has become something very contemporary.
Best known for creating pop-culture touchstones Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly — and delivering a record-breaking big-screen translation of The Avengers — Whedon has a longtime devotion to the Bard.
Many of the cast of the film, which had its U.S. premiere here Saturday afternoon at the South By Southwest Film Festival, participated in readings of Shakespeare's plays over the years at Whedon's home. When the filmmaker found himself with some time off in 2011 after shooting wrapped on The Avengers, he decided to adapt the classic comedy. "I had thought about it practically and Amy (Acker, who plays Beatrice) and Alexis (Denisof, who plays Benedick) had read it, and I was dying to put them on film," Whedon said in an interview before the screening.
Whedon and wife Kai Cole, who produced the film, created their own production company and — though the play is set in Italy — filmed the movie over 12 days at their Santa Monica home. "She said, 'You've been talking about Much Ado. Let's do it.' I went back and looked at the text and then, for the first time ever, I saw the film," Whedon said.
"Sometimes the most obvious things are right in front of you," he said. "I looked at it and went, 'Oh, this isn't about nothing. This is about everything.' This is about us and about love and ritual and romance and pain and lies and a lot of very dark stuff and a lot of very beautiful stuff. Suddenly it wasn't just 'Let's film a play.' This was the next film."
Whedon set the tale of love's labors in the modern day. The actors wear current clothing, have smartphones and speak in modern dialects but stay true to the Bard's prose. Shot in black and white, the soundtrack sports jazz and rock music.
The bumbling constable Dogberry (Nathan Fillion) gets locked out of his car. A wedding photographer stalks the expected nuptials of Hero (Jillian Morgese) and Claudio (Fran Kranz) and villain Don John (Sean Maher) snags that most modern of confectionary bliss, a cupcake, when he leaves, having foiled the ceremony.
"It's very approachable," said Denisof, whose résumé includes Whedon-verse roles in Angel, Buffy and The Avengers as well as in the Royal Shakespeare Company's Hamlet. "My guess is that most people, after the first couple minutes, will forget that they are hearing Shakespeare," he said. "They will just be in the world and the characters and the relationships. I think (Whedon) achieved an ease with this movie that will make it appealing."
Moviegoers will see the predecessors of modern-day comedic couples in sharp-tongued lovers Beatrice and Benedick. "They are special roles in the catalog of romantic comedy," Denisof says. "They are kind of the template for everything that follows, Hepburn and Tracy and Moonlighting. I think it all starts with this couple."
When the actors convened for the filming, "we had done (the readings) for so many years," said Acker, whose regional theater career included Much Ado About Nothing. "It had that same sort of playfulness and no one was really as scared of it as we probably should have been."
Fillion (Castle) got plenty of laughs from the screening crowd for his portrayal of Dogberry. While he admitted that tackling Shakespeare was intimidating, Fillion found his mind-set in Matt LeBlanc's performance of Joey on Friends. "I played Dogberry like he feels he is the smartest guy in the room and he feels he is the star of the show," he says. "I literally stole that from Matt LeBlanc, but the concept I learned from Joss."
Young viewers may learn to love Shakespeare, too, from Whedon's adaptation. During the cast and crew's post-screening question-and-answer session, moviegoer Catherine Amos thanked the filmmaker on behalf of "all the high school teachers."
A former teacher with 20 years in the classroom — and 12 as a high school teacher herself — Amos could see the film playing in classrooms "and the kids would get everything out of it," she says.
For those contemplating buying a ticket when Much Ado About Nothing arrives in theaters June 7, Amos said, "Anyone not particularly familiar with the story would be able to come in, sit down and get everything that was intended. They got it right."

Well Worth The MoneyMy first flat iron died on me and I did alot of research on various ceramic flat irons. This particular model had the best reviews and they were true. This flat iron straightens and curls hair beautifully. Dont hesitate to buy this flat iron.Dec 12, 2004Happy Owner / Detroit, MI

Sedu Ceramic Professional Flat IronI think this seems like a great product. I just need some help in learning how to use it. When my hairstylist uses his flat iron, my hair is perfect (I have short curly hair) but somehow when I do it, I end up looking like Tina Turner with hair sticking straight up everywhere. Its turning at the ends that I seem to have a problem with. This product definitely does what it says it does and I think it is definitely worth the money!Dec 10, 2004Laurie Meier / Rockville, MD

Woowoo I Love This Straightener!!i just got my sedu today and i was amazed at how fast it heated up and how hot it actually got. it usually takes me about 40 minutes to straigten my thick, extreemly wavy hair and it took about 25 minutes which is a big difference to me. i am so happy with the results. my hair is soo straight and shiny, and it stays this way for hours.Dec 8, 2004Lindsay / New Jersey

I'm In Love!I received my Sedu yesterday and really wanted to see if I could straighten my hair without blowdrying it first. So I let it air dry that night, slept on it, woke up with big, poofy, wavy, frizzy hair...and 15 minutes later with the help of the SEDU...I have pin straight hair! And I didnt have to sweat for 25 minutes with the blowdryer on! Its obviously a little more difficult to straighten your hair without blowdrying it first and its hard to reach your roots, but that isnt the SEDUs fault! It still came out perfect! If you have thicker hair I would probably recommend getting the 1 1/2" instead of the 1" though...its works fine for me but I can imageine that with someone with thicker hair it might take a little longer.Dec 8, 2004Jocelyn / Tallahassee, FL

Be Your Own Hair StylistI recently purchased the Sedu flat iron from my stylist and was shocked by its performance. I have thick, curly, frizzy hair and could not get my hair completely straight, even if I used a professional powerful dryer with a ceramic round brush. So I purchased the Sedu in my last salon visit and I get my hair stick straight every time. I could not believe it. I always like the way my hair looked when I went to the salon, but could never get the same look at home until now. Yes, this flat iron is a little on the pricey side, but well worth the money if you want soft shiny, and salon looking hair.Dec 8, 2004Jinny / NYC, USA

Never Been HappierHear is the thing- I have the worse hair, Curly, 7 times colored, and damaged & dry, and frizzy. After coloring, even curling became a big mass of frizz.. and I use to spend 45 minutes blow drying my hair- If I have a work meeting or a date. Now, I spend 10-15 minutes, and I never blow dry my hair at all.. I shower in the night, and let it air dry, and use the iron in the morning with my round brush- kind of like blow drying except- its so much faster, and not frustrating. My hair looks healthier and shines. I would highly recommend this for anyone who struggle with bad hair day- I love this so much that I am like a spokes person for this iron- for all my friends! In fact when I first read the reviews they were so good- that I almost wondered if Folica had paid people to write themJ- But now I know why!Dec 7, 2004Sam Hewawasam / MD

Good StuffI got the Sedu a couple of months ago but wanted to wait a little while to write a review so I could try it a few times to see if it really worked. Well, I have tried it just twice (only because i am lazy). So I think its about time to contribute my 2 cents :) I have thick wavy hair which get really frizzy even in really dry weather. I havent owned any straightener before but tried doing it with a blow dryer. It takes way too long and I just never got the salon-type results. SO I got the sedu. Its very light, doesnt pull on hair, works quickly on dry hair (I had to go over the hair twice or 3 times if they were a little damp). It is VERY quick. If I werent worried abotu the heat damage I would use it every day. I straightened my hair on thursday. Until sunday when I washed my hair again, my hair kept straight for the most part, other than a couple of waves on the back of my head, but no frizz at all. I love this thing. I hope i am able to use it enough to cover the price :)Dec 7, 2004Tima / Canada

text: Business Permit Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Keeping businesses safe and legal The City of Rochester's Business Permit Program is designed to ensure that City businesses are operated safely and legally. Certain types of businesses are required to obtain a Business Permit, and as with all businesses, must maintain good order on the business premise and obey the codes and laws of the City of Rochester and the State of New York. Who needs Business Permits? The following types of businesses requiring a Business Permit include: Retail Stores that sell any of the following: Beer Lottery Tickets Tobacco Smoking Paraphernalia Restaurants Bars Automobile Service Facilities Salons: Hairdresser Barber Shop Appearance Enhancement Tattoo Parlor Body Piercing Please note that businesses that hold the following other types of City licenses do not have to obtain a Business Permit: Entertainment Amusement Second Hand Dealer Pawn Broker Further detailed information on the rules and regulations of Business Permits can be found in Chapter 90-32 of the City Code. Follow these steps to this Guide in order to obtain/ renew a business permit. (If renewing a Business Permit, jump to Step 4). Step 1 Learn about the Business Permit procedure. Start by getting a business permit here. Questions about zoning, types of businesses, or requirements? Contact you Neighborhood Service Centers (NSC). Northwest Quadrant Neighborhood Service Center (585) 428-762071 Parkway -1st Floor Rochester, NY 14608Ron Penders, Administrator Northeast Quadrant Neighborhood Service Center (585) 428-7660500 Norton St Rochester, NY 14621Pamela Reese-Smith, Administrator Southwest Quadrant Neighborhood Service Center (585) 428-7630923 Genesee St Rochester, NY 14611David Hawkes, Administrator Southeast Quadrant Neighborhood Service Center (585) 428-7640320 N Goodman Street - Suite 209 Rochester, NY 14607Nancy Johns-Price, Administrator Step 2 Take your completed application to City Hall - note this must be to City Hall, not your NSC. The completed application, $25.00 application fee payable to the City of Rochester Treasurer, Photo Identification, Certificate of Authority, and numbers of any other licenses or permits required for your business operation (see below), must be submitted to: City Hall Permit Office 30 Church Street - Room 121B Rochester, New York 14614 Additional license information necessary may include, but is not limited to: State Liquor Authority License New York State Cigarette License Master Barber's License Cosmetology License Registered New York State DMV Dealer or Repair Shop License (or applicable NYS DMV license) Photo Identification: Current Driver's License or Non-Driver Identification Passport Benefit Card You're getting close, but you're not there yet! Your Business Permit is subject up to 30 days of processing and review by the City of Rochester. During this time frame, the applicant(s) will be subject to: Background check Past business history (if applicable) If no issues of concern are identified, the Business Permit will be issued within 30 days or receipt. If an application is found to be incomplete, or cannot be processed due to unresolved concerns, the applicant will be notified in writing within 30 days. If there is sufficient cause for concern on the part of the City of Rochester regarding the operation of the business, the owner/operator may be offered a Conditional Business Permit. Depending on the outcome of the review, approved applicants may move onto Step 3. Step 3 The next step to completing the process is setting up a Good Neighbor Agreement. City Council in November of 2012 passed legislation, which resulted in several changes to both the City of Rochester Zoning Code and the City of Rochester Property Code relating to retail uses and Business Permits. If your business requires a Business Permit then you will be asked to participate in a Good Neighbor Agreement. The Good Neighbor Agreement is a discussion with the Neighborhood Service Center on the codes with which a business owner must adhere. This meeting is done face to face so you meet the staff at the NSC and the staff can meet you. The owner can then decide if they will sign the non-binding agreement or simply sign that you understand the document. When applicants have scheduled an appointment at the NSC for a GNA, please bring the following: Certificate of Authority for NYS Sales Tax Business licenses required for operation (barber license, liquor license) After completing these steps, you're good to go! Business Permits are valid for 1 year only, provided there is no change in the type, location, owner/operator/partner in the business, or if there is no other cause for the permit to be suspended or revoked. Step 4 You will receive notification of the need to renew your Business Permit 30 to 60 days prior to the month in which it was granted, with a renewal application. If you do not receive a renewal notification, please contact your local Neighborhood Service Center to obtain the Business Permit Renewal Form. Within 30 days of receipt of your renewal notification: If all information for your business remains unchanged, please carefully review the renewal application sent with your renewal notification and make any necessary changes/corrections. Provided there has been no change to the type, location, owner/operator or the business, sign and return the completed renewal application to: City of Rochester Permit Office 30 Church Street - 121B Rochester, New York 14614 Applications received by the City within 30 days of receipt of the renewal notification will be processed free of charge. After 30 days, the application must include a $25.00 renewal fee made payable to the City of Rochester Treasurer. Please Note: If the type, location, owner/operator of your business has changed, you may NOT renew your permit. You must apply for a new Business Permit. Your Renewal Application will be reviewed by City staff. If no issues are identified, your Business Permit will be granted and mailed to you within 30 days. If the City finds cause for concern regarding the operation of your business, you will be notified by the City within 30 days. SEE ALSO Business Assistance | Permits and Licenses

The only tires I'll ever buy. I own a 91 Nissan Nx coupe, and for that fwd car they are excellent in all weather conditions. My wife, in an 07 Focus drove 50k miles on them, the last year almost sixty miles round trip to work and back. We are from Buffal, NY and are no strangers to snowy and adverse driving conditions. These tires will not let you down.

Ki-Be school board places administrator on leave without pay
An administrator at the Kiona-Benton School District is placed on administrative leave without pay, after being suspected of stealing school district property and selling it on eBay.
Mark Noyes was placed on administrative leave last Monday.
Originally, he was placed on paid administrative leave, but on Friday, the school board voted 5 - 0 to place Noyes on administrative leave without pay - that decision went into effect today.
Benton County sheriff's deputies believe the administrator stole ten classroom temperature sensors, and sold them on eBay for a total of $500.
Deputies believe he also sold a film camera for $30.
Investigators are recommending he be charged with theft and trafficking stolen property.
