After a four month lockout nullified the 2012 portion of the "2012-13 NHL season," tonight's Canucks home and season opener against the Anaheim "don't call us Mighty" Ducks was eagerly anticipated. While there was no pre-game ceremony or banner raising to celebrate the team's second straight President's Trophy; team President and General Manager Mike Gillis and captain Henrik Sedin did address the faithful. Gillis and Henrik Sedin thanked the fans for their patience and loyalty. It was the right tone to strike - personal, apologetic and direct, as opposed to celebratory - but it was just about the only thing Vancouver got right on this evening.
The Canucks were up momentarily in the first period, but Cory Schneider was ventilated and pulled within the first seven minutes of the second period with the Canucks down 5-2. The crowd cheered and Luuuu'd as Roberto Luongo, the center of never ending trade rumours all summer long, entered the game and made a few routine saves.
It was frankly, an embarrassing performance. But it did set up a fun day of endless speculation for tomorrow. Who will get the nod against Edmonton? Will the Canucks go back to Cory Schneider, or will they stick with the plan to play Luongo against the Oilers young guns (and in doing so set off the hockey media's shrill catcalls of "goalie controversy" continent wide)? Whatever happens, you can rest assured that it will be all fucked up.
Read past the jump.
- I've got fewer numbers for you this evening than I usually would in a CanucksArmy game recap. For the moment the timeonice.com scoring chance app and advanced stat pages have yet to be re-calibrated for the 2013 season, so I'm flying blind.
I can tell you, however, that the Canucks recorded 9 scoring chances to Anaheim's 12. I can also tell you that Cory Schneider allowed three goals on five scoring chances, in addition to allowing two non-scoring chance goals. I can also tell you that Anaheim out-chanced the Canucks 7-3 in the third period even though they were up by four goals for most of the frame - a testament to the club's inexcusable lack of resilience on this evening. That's about all I've got for now, we'll plug in and post the scoring chance results when timeonice.com gets running at somepoint in the next few days.
- Obviously Vancouver's defense was, uh, not very good on Saturday night. That goes without saying. But let's not go letting the goaltenders off the hook, here. The Ducks only recorded 12 scoring chances and only managed 26 shots on goal in the contest. By any definition this was a "low-event" game and there's really no excuse for allowing seven goals against in such circumstances.
Vancouver's defensive coverage and gap-control will need to improve (or Mike Gillis will be drafting Seth Jones in Newark this July), but make no mistake: it was the goaltending that really let the team down on Saturday.
- One bright spot for the Canucks was their power-play. The Canucks capitalized on two of four power-play opportunities and generated eight shots and four scoring chances with the man-advantage. They looked like a polished unit that has worked together for a while, and that could provide the team with a crutch as they get the rest of their game back up to speed. I also really liked Hansen with the twins, he did well to win a couple of puck-battles along the wall and his net work was picture perfect on Daniel Sedin's power-play tally in the first period.
- Probably the worst part of the team's game on the other hand was their short-handed play. The Canucks allowed three short-handed goals against, in three penalty killing opportunties while facing Anaheim's not at all vaunted power-play. Anaheim's top offensive defenseman, Cam Fowler, was out with the flu on Saturday night and Anaheim's power-play was pretty much awful last season with the same basic personnel. Needless to say: that pretty much sucks.
I think I feel comfortable placing much of the onus for the team's weak short-handed performance on the goaltenders. Selanne was left all alone in the slot for his power-play goal at the very end of the second period (after Cory Schneider had already been pulled) but Anaheim's other two short-handed tallies (Souray's blast to tie the game at two, and Corey Perry's five-hole goal that put Anaheim up by two early in the second period) came off of very stoppable shots. In all Anaheim managed three total power-play shots in the game, and three goals. Yeah, there's no other way to slice this one: Vancouver's goaltending was really bad tonight.
- Daniel Winnik, noted shooting percentage outlier and possessor of "stone hands," scored two goals against Cory Schneider in Saturday night's game. This was a very weird contest.
- The good news? Regression! Cory Schneider was woeful on Saturday but he remains a solid NHL goaltender, and he'll bounce back. Roberto Luongo was better than Schneider was, I guess, but he'll also have better performances than what he showed in relief of Schneider on Saturday night. Saturday's game was just a strange one. If you look beyond the permissive defensive coverage, the complete lack of team speed and the inability to hit anyone in stride with a pass: you'll see a club that looked like they were playing their first preseason game. Which makes sense since that's pretty much exactly what this was.
Only positive I can take away is that I like the power play and I like Garrison on it.
I guess Spector was right after all. Not a contender?
What's with the f bombs in your articles? It's pretty amateur, I guess maybe that's what you are going for?
I liked Garrison for the most part. Looked good on the powerplay and really moved the puck well. That part of his game was really under-reported in the summer I think. Edler seemed to be okay on the right side as well. Maybe this can work.

Was so happy to see NHL hockey again, that I spent most he game laughing my butt off. It's one game- meh. Why can't I enjoy watching Hansen trip over the imaginary line. Or the Sedins miss routine passes. Or 22 yr old Tanev face more 2-on-1s in one game that he did all of last yr.
It was funny stuff. Obviously an anomaly. Glad I have it PVR'd so I can show fickle fans when they 3peat this year.
Onto the next....
I am an Oilers fan, and generally dislike your team, and your fans. But please don't think it is the end of the world after one game. Also don't set up a lynch mob for Schneider. The NW is still too weak a division for anyone to catch you guys. Maybe next year the Oil can challenge you guys, and maybe the Avs in 2-3 years, but until then, just sit back, relax, and win the division.
You guys need a goalie?
January 20 2013, 09:21AM
Do you think the Canucks are in the market to trade for Knabibulin from the OIlers to get a decent back-up?
After your sad foul mouthed excuse for a blog went after the oilers, Drance, last nights debacle and sad goaltending display was just the first instalment of karma. It's going to be a long year for nuck fans. After Gilles managed to make head cases of both of the Canuck goalies the writing was on the wall Bwah ha ha ha ha!!
Using the "f-bomb" is definitely amateurish. I quit reading at that point as it showed the intellect put into the article.
January 20 2013, 11:04AM
whoo, f-bomb! keep it up, i like that passion!
I'm not hugely bothered by the loss. I expect a slow start from the Canucks. It doesn't make me happy, but I'm not pounding the panic button like some.
What did bother me intensely was how passive the team was. Your down by four goals in your own barn on opening night in front of hockey starved fans. At least make the other team pay a physical price for embarrassing you.
Instead we're like a team of Quakers. That bothers me a lot and it remains the reason why I don't see our very good club as a Stanley Cup winning team.

If the Presidents cup is your idea of success you have issues. Cup wise you have no more to show for than the Oilers in the last ten years, and nobody remembers the Presidents Trophy winners. They remember Cup winners. Nothing else. But you wouldn't know anything about that because you've never won one. Which is why you criticize anyone that talks about a storied past like the Oilers have.
Good luck continuing celebrating failure.
January 20 2013, 05:57PM
Thomas Drance. I enjoy your style and had a good chuckle about your Oilers bashing exercise the other day, especially when one of the locals, Dan Tencer, had a his shy fit on twitter about it. However the F-bomb isn't needed here.
Some younguns read this site and I think it's below your style anyways.
Just my two cents. Keep up the good work.
January 20 2013, 06:27PM
Wow. Surprised at all the piling on for a rather minor linguistic choice. If you ask me, being unconventional in all sorts of ways is what makes blogs, this one and others, superior to the pablum you find in the newspaper.
Think of it as cable vs network TV.

WHAT ELSE IS NEW? |dont the Caunucks always choke? The choked against boston, choked the 1st round away against the kings last year, and now thyre choking at the start.The organization has no real intention of winning no cup, and the same fanboys just keep coming to games year after year. You cant feel sorry for folks who want to be fooled. nothing new, this year, another choke, followed by excuses and than followed by another lame slogan for 1014. its been 40 years and not one cup, and when places that grow plam sugar cane like coarolina can win the cup, the scam is long exposed. It all depends on what the fanboys are gonna do, and you can bet theyll pay more good money to watch that joke of a team lose again and again and again. Oh, theres alwasy next year, our goaloes are good ebnough, Av is good enough, gilis is good enough. They should FIRe every single wone of them, the useless sedins to the entire management, scouting, you name it, losers do what they know best..and thats lose.

Patricia L. Snowball, 67, of Elmo, died early Tuesday morning, Aug. 4, 2009 at Beehive Homes in Elmo. Pat was diagnosed with a brain tumor in early April of this year, and after a courageous decision to allow nature to take its course, she succumbed to this dreadful disease. Her two sons survive her, Kenton R., 45, of Loveland, Ohio, and John C., 36, of Elmo, as does her brother, Paul Longson, of Las Vegas, Nev. Her husband, Richard Peart Snowball, who died May 30, 2003, preceded her in death.
Pat served and loved her community, but was a very private person, and she was honored at an unannounced graveside memorial by her family Saturday morning. Her family wishes to thank her allies at Rocky Mountain Hospice and Beehive Homes for their unfailingly dignified care and service to Pat in her final days.
In lieu of cards, flowers, or gifts the family asks that donations be made in her name to the Death With Dignity National Center, the American Cancer Society, or the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Services were in the care of Fausett Mortuary. Send condolences to the family at www.fausettmortuary.com.

Shakespeare's Restless World is currently being broadcast on BBC Radio 4. Today's episode Communion and Conscience: The Stratford Chalice explores religion in Elizabethan England.
Eamon Duffy, University of Cambridge
Everybody in 16th-century England took religion for granted as a fundamental part of life. In the Protestant state under Elizabeth I, attendance at church and the reception of communion were increasingly enforced. It became, in a way, a test of citizenship.
Catholics would have been required to receive the Protestant communion at least once a year, and Catholics who stayed away from services would have been fined.
For everybody, these were changes that affected fundamental views of the meaning of life and of the afterlife. The Mass was no longer in Latin, but in English. We tend to see this as a move towards intelligibility. Some people were thrilled by it, the arrival of the English Bible. For many, it was a revelation and an empowerment.
But for others, it was tiresome gobbledegook. When the English communion service was first introduced in 1549, most of the people in the west of England were outraged. They felt this was some bizarre game that was being imposed on them and rebelled against it, which led to a horrendous siege at Exeter. The rebels denounced the new service as a sort of Christmas game and demanded the return of the Latin Mass.
So it took people time to accustom themselves to these changes, and the date on this communion cup – 1571 – is one indicator of the time it takes simply to change material culture. When we look at this cup, we are looking at a whole culture in movement, adjusting itself. By 1571 it's becoming clear to everybody that there is not going to be a return to Catholicism in the near future.
In the late 1560s, even before the sterner [religious] enforcement began, communities all over England are beginning to say, oh well stuff this for a game of soldiers, we better do it. Here in Cambridge in the late 1560s, the church wardens of the main town churches begin to sell off the Catholic vestments, they were beginning to equip themselves properly for Protestantism.
This doesn't mean to say that Catholicism disappeared. Catholic beliefs remained current in one form or another, especially around things like funerals, for a very long time. When Shakespeare was young, there would still have been old people saying the rosary, crossing themselves when there was thunder, using holy water.
Shakespeare couldn't have avoided knowing about Catholicism, it's probable that every family in England had Catholic relatives. Shakespeare himself had a second cousin, Robert Saville, who became a Jesuit priest. Saville was executed at Tyburn and is a Catholic saint.
What is certain is that every literate person in England in the 1590s and early 1600s had some acquaintance with Catholicism, even if it was so that they knew the enemy.

Aironi were denied their first win on the road on Saturday as Connacht scored ten points at the death to win 19-16 at the Sportsground.
A last gasp penalty goal from Matthew Jarvis earned Connacht a stunning come-from-behind win over Aironi.
The Irish side headed into the clash in decent form, having won their last two games, while Aironi's poor season was showing no sign of improving.
The first points of the game came from Luciano Orquera, who booted over a drop-goal on 13 minutes to give the visitors the lead. But Aironi's lead didn't last long, with Miah Nikora's penalty goal minutes later levelling the scoreline.
The Italians bounced back though and by half-time they were 13 points in front.
On 23 minutes Quintin Geldenhuys scored the game's first try, which was converted by Orquera, and then two penalty goals from the Argentine fly-half ensured that Aironi headed into the interval with a comfortable lead.
Connacht needed points early in the second half to get themselves back into the game, but they had to wait until the 60th minute before they could add to their tally.
Nikora's two penalty goals took the hosts to within a converted try of Aironi and on 74 minutes they got the crucial score their efforts deserved. Rodney Ah You was the man to get over the line for Connacht, with Nikora's conversion levelling the scores and ensuring a grandstand finish.
Both sides pressed for a winning score, but Aironi's cause wasn't helped when Josh Furno was dispatched to the sin-bin.
The game looked to be heading for a draw, but Jarvis' penalty goal from his own half in the dying seconds sparked jubilant scenes at the Galway Sportsground and broke Italian hearts.
The scorers:
For Connacht:
Try: Ah You
Con: Nikora
Pens: Nikora 3, Jarvis

Today's denim tip of the day? Take care of the earth! Sustainable, eco-friendly, environmentally conscious fashion is all the rage these days. And this is one rising trend we can't support enough. If you're looking for a stylish pair of jeans that are manufactured to meet the standards of society's collective eco-conscious effort (or you just want more information on who's on this bandwagon), check out our round-up of eco-friendly denim brands below.
Pictured above, M2f light wash skinny jeans ($130) – buy it at Singer22.
Serfontaine + This LA-based denim brand that has sworn off chemicals used in the denim-distressing process, and instead use organic fruit enzymes and hand-administered abrasion techniques.
REUSE Jeans + An eco-conscious denim company that began using sustainable 80% recycled fabrics in spring 2010, and is now at the forefront of the battle against the fashion industry's carbon footprint.
James Jeans + A brand that proudly uses eco-friendly washes, handmade patterns, and couture draping techniques. They promote various ways to "go green" on their blog—check it out!
M2F + When you think eco-friendly, you might think earth tones & drab clothing… but M2F has changed the way we envision sustainable denim forever. Their line features vibrant, bright, gorgeous colors that you'll look amazing in and feel good about wearing. Their manufacturing technology includes two major elements: Certified Chemical Free Made2Fade™ Yarn Technology and the Clear H20 Colors™ Earth Smart Dye Process. You can read more about those at their website, and be sure to read our Q&A with the brand.
7 For All Mankind + This wildly popular brand of denim doesn't support the use of pesticides, and produces nearly 100% organic jeans (some styles contain a small percentage of spandex) in styles that make is really, really easy to be kinder to the planet.
Kuyichi + The ultimate in sustainable fashion, Kuyichi's jeans are made using organic cotton and wool, hemp, linens, and techniques like recycled polyester, natural dyes, and vegetable tanning. This European company is rapidly expanding (and we can only hope they'll brand stateside in the near future).
Green Edge Denim + A denim company with a beautiful mission, Greenedge aims to outfit and educate the younger generations (we're talking kids & babies) in earth-friendly concepts from the very beginning, with certified organic cotton grown and sustainable treatment processes.
Nudie Jeans + Nudie was recently given an environmental award for their second hand denim collection—a system where customers buying jeans leave a pair of their old ones behind with to receive a discount (and some good karma). Those jeans are then recycled into a new pair for some other denim-loving customer to enjoy.
Aoki Denim + Aoki Denim is produced with raw organic cotton and strives to mesh the idea of aesthetically beautiful fashion with responsible production techniques.
Sling and Stones + The mission of Sling and Stones is simple: "to produce the most luxurious and best fitting jeans in the world, all while protecting the earth and loving its people." They do so by using American-grown organic Supima cotton that results in virtually pesticide-free product.
Levi's + Levi's amazing Water<less denim campaign is saving both water and energy. While most jeans are washed in massive industrial washing machines, wasting an incredible amount of this precious resource, Water<less jeans are cutting down on the amount of water used in a big way. Read more about it here.

I think I have become obsessed with Good Society, the "new" eco-denim line launched in the fall of 2007 by Sling and Stones creator, Aiden Dinh. Good Society is the cheaper — but no less stylish — denim line. I have seen other uber hip denim labels spin off a Green collection, but it's hard to find a really good Green jean that was conceived to be not only eco-friendly and Fair Trade, but philanthropic from the start. Believe it or not, not everyone believes in the "hype" of Green jeans. Purists will sift through each "Eco" brand and say, well, many jeans are only 98% organic because the 2% stretch part is not. I say, big deal. Good Society jeans claims to be 100% organic denim that is a "forward thinking collection that is fully sustainable ??" both ecologically and socially. If you're doing what you can to make sure you also don't exploit garment workers and you donate 10% of profits to charities in third world countries, then that's something. That's what Good Society is about.
Why am I still talking about Green jeans, when Earth Day is over? In this case, it doesn't matter what the occasion. A fantastic pair of jeans from concept to design is just that. You can't stop thinking about it and you can't stop talking about it.
Learn more about GOOD SOCIETY.
Available at ENVI and other carefully selected retailers.

She's beging called the favorite to win the gold in London.

I have this friend who is the definition of gawdy(gaudy). He wears versace shirts, true religion jeans, and lacoste sneakers. He leases a new Benz every year or two. He always wants to eat at fancy restaurants and bars. But he is so SO CHEAP IT MAKES ME SO MAD. He won't tip (if I force him, he'll tip sub 10 percent), and whenever we go to fancy places he orders the cheapest thing and mooches off me. Then we go to the bar and he orders some doochy drink (martini...shaken not stirred...HE SAYS THAT) and then doesn't tip the bartender, who ends up treating me like dirt because of my association with him. I just want to know if you have any advice for helping my friend out, or even helping me out with dealing with him.

"I bought this shoes for my hubby because he is madly inlove with addidas and he just won't wear any other brand. I think they look very nice but they are not durable. The black part is sude and is very hard to keep it black and looking new. I wouldn't recomend this shoe."

second pair
"I loved the first pair I bought over a year ago. They finally wore out, and I was excited to get a new pair. The new pair is sized differently, and not as good quality. Disappointing, but I llike the look and they fit my foot better than converse. Also the additional colors are pretty ugly to me."

"It's a lovely rich whiskey colour & the quality of the leather or faux leather is good. But they're not kidding when they describe it as 'mini'! That's not necessarily a bad thing & perfect for times where you don't wanna carry your entire life around in your purse, just be aware when ordering. I'm bad with dimensions & measurements, so I'll say you can fit cash (not a wallet, unless it's very slim), a few cards, a compact, a couple keys & a lipstick without it looking ready to burst - but not much more than that. Snaps & zip feel sturdy & secure, strap is adjustable. It's a handy purse to use when being active (dancing, hiking) or to keep your passport & other documents close when traveling."

Perfect Summer Bag
"I love this bag!!! It's small and lightweight with a bunch of pockets. The main opening can pretty much only fit a cell phone, keys and lipgloss. There is a pocket in the main opening with a zipper to put credit cards and money in as well as the front zip up pockets. The quality is what you'd expect for the price."

And though led by the all-new Micra and recently redesigned Altima, Rogue, Sentra and Pathfinder, other models such as LEAF (+86.3%), Versa Note (+14.4%), Frontier (+20.5%) and NV200 (+244.3%) are also showing strong results month after month. This gives the Nissan lineup great momentum heading into the 2015 model year.

|In response to Re: Compression fittings vs. sweating the joints
: The compression joint, in most cases, is the least desirable joint regardless of the cost. The exception being the angle stop at the various fixtures. Sweating is the best way, since it is not affected by vibration or other movements.
: : Can anyone give me an honest comparison between sweating joints on copper pipes or using compression fittings? Do plumbers sweat the joints because that is the cheapest way or the best way?

The Huntington Airport Fly-In and Wings and Wheels Show and Shine Sept. 28-29 was the largest event in its three year history. The show featured the largest number of planes, antique autos and visitors ever. At the Saturday morning breakfast, Emery County Commissioner Jeff Horrocks and Leon Defriez Airport Manager welcomed everyone to Emery County and hoped their visit would be enjoyable. At that time Mike Guarino chairman of EAA Chapter 23 explained the Young Eagle program and asked for volunteer pilots to fly the Young Eagles (young people that want to learn to fly). Many different organizations were involved in this event. The Huntington Airport, The Back Country Flyers Association, The Experimental Aircraft Association, The Antique Cars sponsored by Wards 4X4 of Huntington and the Par-O-Dice Auto Club of Price.
This event gave Leon Defriez the airport manager an opportunity to show the public the improvements that have been made at the Huntington Airport over the past year and of future plans. Defriez said he tried to keep track of the number of planes flying in and out of the airport all weekend and finally gave up. Approximately 30 planes and pilots camped at the airport Friday night.
There were many more planes this year flying into and out of the airport than in past years events. Many of the visiting pilots camped at the airport participated in the activities Friday and Saturday. Some of those activities were flights to nearby backcountry airstrips, bus tours to the Buckhorn Panel, the Wedge Overlook and the San Rafael Museum, trap shooting of clay pigeons, meals, displayed photos and histories of Emery County, antique cars and different types of aircraft. A few of the airstrips available for pilots to fly into from the Huntington Airport were Cedar Mountain, Hidden Splendor, and Mexican Mountain.
The Utah Back Country Flyers Association president and secretary Steve and Cathy Durtschi, wearing official red vests, were actively engaged around the airport directing airplane traffic and other activities. Jody Cox a Huntington Airport flight instructor was assisting with airplane fueling and traffic control.
Mike Guarino chairman of EAA Chapter 23 from Salt Lake said the EAA does Young Eagle rallies all over the state. Guarino said he has been doing these for the chapter for 15 years. Many of the Young Eagles will grow up to become certified pilots.
The Experimental Aircraft Association pilots were excited to be introducing young people to the fun of flying. The program started off by giving the Young Eagles a short pre-flight orientation about how and why a plane is able to fly and a certificate of attendance. After Young Eagles attended the short pre-flight school they were given a 20 minute flight in a plane out over Cleveland, Elmo and back to the airport. In the orientation the instructor explained the fun and the danger associated with flying. Parents and guardians were required to sign a waiver before their children were allowed to fly with a pilot. Plane rides were given to more than 90 children ages 8 to 18.
One enthusiastic young man, after his flight, said he was able to fly the plane and then proceeded to demonstrate how he turned the wheel of the plane. Brock Johansen a Scout leader from Castle Dale said there were boys from nine scout troops and about 79 scouts taking advantage of the opportunity to fly in these light planes. The scouts camped at Huntington Reservoir Friday night. At that camp Steve Durtschi presented a fireside for the scouts and a movie entitled Back Country Flying and Back Country Airstrips. The film showed pilots flying back country airstrips from California to Malad, Idaho.
Visitors were from Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and California.
One of the pilots Wally Brown from Spanish Fork, has been a pilot since 2009 and became a member of the Utah Back Country Flyers Association last summer. He said he loves the outdoors, camping and flying.
Rose and Dennis Ward the owners of Wards 4X4 from Huntington said they had two cars in this Antique Car show and were instrumental in building up the car clubs in Carbon and Emery County. Rose said, in Emery County they are called the San Rafael Swells and in Carbon County they have the Par-O-Dice Auto Club.
Tory Killian and daughter Chelsea from Wards 4X4 were responsible for organizing this year's Antique Auto and Motorcycle Show at the airport. Tory said there were 30 vehicles displayed in front of the Huntington Airport main hangar.
Gordon Ungerman of Huntington was in charge of setting up the trap shooting range and was responsible for providing eight clay pigeon throwers for the skeet shooting range east of the airport. Ungerman said he sets up a skeet shooting range somewhere every weekend. He said the eight throwers give the shooter birds coming from eight different angles. He goes to family reunions, outings like this and company parties with his usual portable five stand sporting clays traps. He also owns Ungerman Meat Shop in Huntington.
Some of those participating in the trap shooting were Patrick Doyle, Steve Durtschi, Dennis Blazard, Gordon Ungerman, Bart Jones, Cole Davis, Cathy Durtschi and Larry Luckinbill. Emery County Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth was seen at the airport visiting with Jan Marker from Albuquerque, John Edison, Santa Paula Calif. and Mary K Jones from Colorado Springs all attendees at the Huntington Airport Fly-In.
Mervin and Gale Miles were in the Airport main hangar describing things to be seen in the deserts of Emery County, displaying Petroglyphs photos, rock art, archeological sites and telling of adventures to be had in Emery County. Mervin Miles worked for the BLM 35 years traveling around and over the hills and valleys of Emery County. He said he either walked, rode a horse or drove a vehicle to examine the BLM lands.
Mary and Bart Jones came to Huntington Airport from Colorado Springs, Colo. and said Commissioner Jeff Horrocks took them to the wonderful San Rafael Museum and Jeff even gave them a book about Emery County History. She said the museum was very well done and was excited to get the book. She thought more people should tour the museum.
The Friday and Saturday meals provided to the pilots and antique car owners were catered by Ralene Larsen, her daughter Tiffany and Ralene's nieces Shauna and Sarah from R-Pizza in Castle Dale. The Saturdays breakfast was served in the airport hangar, the lunch was served under the airport pavilion and dinner was served at the Huntington State Park.

Rhode Island
From its beginnings, Rhode Island has been distinguished by its support for freedom of conscience and action: Clergyman Roger Williams founded the present state capital, Providence, after being exiled by the Massachusetts Bay Colony Puritans in 1636. Williams was followed by other religious exiles who founded Pocasset, now Portsmouth, in 1638 and Newport in 1639.
Rhode Island's rebellious, authority-defying nature was further demonstrated by the burnings of the British revenue cutters Liberty and Gaspee prior to the Revolution; by its early declaration of independence from Great Britain in May 1776; by its refusal to participate actively in the War of 1812; and by Dorr's Rebellion of 1842, which protested property requirements for voting.
Rhode Island, smallest of the 50 states, is densely populated and highly industrialized. It is a major center for jewelry manufacturing. Electronics, metal, plastic products, and boat and ship construction are other important industries. Non-manufacturing employment includes research in health, medicine, and the ocean environment. Providence is a wholesale distribution center for New England.
Fishing ports are at Galilee and Newport. Rural areas of the state support small-scale farming, including grapes for local wineries, turf grass, and nursery stock. Tourism generates over a billion dollars a year in revenue.
Newport became famous as the summer capital of high society in the mid-19th century. Touro Synagogue (1763) is the oldest in the U.S. Other points of interest include the Roger Williams National Memorial in Providence, Samuel Slater's Mill in Pawtucket, the General Nathanael Greene Homestead in Coventry, and Block Island.
In January 2013, the Rhode Island House of Representatives passed a bill to legalize same-sex marriage. The vote to pass the bill was 51 to 19. The State Senate would consider the bill in the spring of 2013. As of early 2013, Rhode Island was the only state in New England where same-sex marriage had not been legalized.

Dance away the winter blues with Zumba!Thu, 01/03/2013 - 10:14am
Put your sneakers on and get ready to dance away your winter blues with a Zumba event that will raise money for two good causes. Local residents Kathy Bernier and Chris Angelo, a licensed Zumba instructor, have teamed up to host a Zumbathon the afternoon of January 5 in the Sawtooth Elementary School gym.
For a suggested donation of $10 per person, participants of all ages and experience levels will exercise to the grooves of Latin music as they follow the moves of Instructor Angelo as well as volunteer instructors Cassie Fortier of Thunder Bay, Rosemary Kosevich of Silver Bay, and Annie Otterblad of Two Harbors. The money raised will be given to support the Cook County Kids Plus program and the ALS Association (fighting Lou Gehrig's Disease).
The Zumba.com website calls Zumba an addictive, calorie-burning dance fitness party. Alberto "Beto" Perez invented Zumba accidentally.
The story is on the Zumba website: "As a fitness instructor in his native Cali, Colombia, Beto's life took an unexpected turn one fateful day in the mid-'90s when he darted off to teach an aerobics class and forgot his traditional aerobics music. He improvised using his own mix of music from tapes he had in his backpack (salsa and merengue music he grew up with). Spontaneously he created a new kind of dance-fitness, one that focused on letting the music move you (instead of counting reps over the music). Energy electrified the room; people couldn't stop smiling. His class loved it!"
Zumba is now taught in over 150 countries around the world, with variations including classes for kids, new and older exercisers, and those wanting to work on toning, do circuit training, or exercise in the water. Zumbathons are becoming a popular way to raise money for worthy causes.

State wolf hunting and trapping season to close Thursday, January 3Wed, 01/02/2013 - 7:53pm
Minnesota's first-ever wolf season will close at the end of shooting and trapping hours on Thursday, January 3, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources..
As of Wednesday, 181 wolves had been registered in the late season northwest wolf zone out of a target of 187. The northwest zone was the last of three management zones where wolves could be taken by permit since November 3.
The northwest zone number, when combined with totals from the early season and the other late season zones, brings the inaugural wolf season total to 395.
"Our plan was to close the season when the harvest was at or projected to reach 400," said Dan Stark, large carnivore specialist for the DNR. "It is important that hunters and trappers know that they have until 5 p.m. Friday to submit their wolves for inspection."
For the late season, the east-central zone was closed to hunting December 13. The northeast zone, which includes the Minnesota Arrowhead was closed December 14. Nine wolves were killed in the east-central zone where the quota was 10, and 58 were trapped or shot in the northeast zone where the target was 56.
Complete wolf hunting information, including a map of the wolf zones, is available at
Donations and volunteers welcome at Cook County Food ShelfWed, 01/02/2013 - 11:10am
The Cook County Food Shelf, like many other community food programs, sees increased usage in winter months. And unfortunately, because communities all around the region see a greater need, the food available at greatly discounted prices through the Second Harvest Food Bank is reduced.
So in the time of seasonal layoffs and families struggling to pay winter utility bills, when the need is the greatest, the food supply is the lowest. If the local food shelf runs short, it must purchase food at retail prices.
So although the "season of giving" is over, the Cook County Food Shelf could use a little more help. It is very easy to contribute. Donations of non-perishable foods can be dropped off at the Cook County Food Shelf at the First Congregational Church at Third Avenue and Second Street in Grand Marais.
Financial donations can be delivered to the church office on 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays. If you want to call first to ensure the office is open to give a donation, call (218) 387-2113.
Checks may also be mailed to: Cook County Food Shelf, P.O. Box 95, Grand Marais, MN 55604.
If you want to volunteer time, there is always a task to be done—unloading deliveries, packing boxes, or helping with distribution. If you would like more information about volunteering, contact Bill or Gwen Lenz at (218) 387-9860.

Monday was D-Day for Exercise BOLD ALLIGATOR 2012
By UltimaRatioReg
Monday was D-Day for Exercise BOLD ALLIGATOR 2012. A good article from CBS News about the event, also at AFP. Some cogent analysis of the significance of the exercise:
After a decade dominated by ground wars against insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan, the drill dubbed Bold Alligator is "the largest amphibious exercise conducted by the fleet in the last 10 years," said Admiral John Harvey, head of US Fleet Forces Command.
The American military, mindful that Marines have spent most of their time in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan since 2001, said the goal was "to revitalize, refine, and strengthen fundamental amphibious capabilities and reinforce the Navy and Marine Corps role as 'fighters from the sea.'"
The lack of practice at a craft that is immensely complex (amphibious assault) and requires extensive planning and rehearsal has been a concern of the Marine Corps for most of the past decade. Many junior Officers and SNCOs have never been afloat, let alone had anything to do with amphibious operations. Landing plans, serial assignment tables, scheduled, on-call, and unscheduled waves are terms unfamiliar to most. Fire support planning in amphibious operations, challenging in the best of circumstances, must now be done in an environment of austere Naval surface fires.
The BOLD ALLIGATOR exercises, and the war games that reinforce them (EXPEDITIONARY WARRIOR, etc.) will introduce those younger Marines to the art of projecting power ashore from the sea. Shortfalls in capabilities and capacity will be identified, new methods developed to leverage modern platforms, and assumptions either validated or proven incorrect. The bugaboo of every amphibious operation, the command relationship between CATF/CLF, will be examined anew.
The addition of our French allies in this exercise is crucial, as the interoperability of international forces in a coalition operation is always a challenge. Lessons on doctrine, equipment requirements and capabilities, as well as the personal command relationships between seniors, make for more lethal and efficient combat forces.
The landings in North Carolina and Virginia are not being conducted in a vacuum, either:
The threat of mines, anti-ship missiles and small boats in coastal waters conjure up Iran's naval forces, but the commanders overseeing the drill, Admiral Harvey and Marine Lieutenant General Dennis Hejlik, say the scenario is not based on any particular country.
When asked by reporters last week, Harvey acknowledged that the exercise scenario was "certainly informed by recent history" and that it was "applicable" to the Strait of Hormuz, as well as other areas.
Harvey also said the exercise incorporated lessons from the 2006 Lebanon conflict, when Iran-backed Hezbollah forces hit an Israeli navy corvette with an anti-ship missile.
This event was important enough to have CNO Admiral Greenert in attendance, and highlights a significant shift in the Navy's views regarding its role in the amphibious power projection mission. While always publicly supporting the Navy-Marine Corps team, the unofficial position of the Navy toward this mission seemed decidedly luke-warm and was at odds with the Marine Corps over requirements and resources. This is good news for Naval forces whose focus will be the western Pacific. One can bet a paycheck that the USN and USMC will be scribbling furiously, taking copious notes. Lessons will be learned, training will be invaluable.
And best of all, an entirely new generation of Marines will be introduced to the smell of paint, exhaust fumes, crude oil, salt water spray, and vomit that are indelibly etched on every Marine who has climbed down the cargo net, ridden the tuna boats off the well deck through the surf, or splashed ashore from the LCUs. The more things change, the more they remain the same.

Deutsche Bank wants to retire the idea that gold's steep rise in the last decade had much of anything to do with inflation. Here's the chart this morning from the firm's strategists:
Studies suggest it's not quite true to say that gold's price has no relationship with inflation, but it is nearly true. Gold will soar in a severe economic crisis. By "severe," think Zimbabwe, or Weimar Germany. As my print column explained back in December:
Gold often is considered an inflation hedge, but that only pans out in a severe crisis. Gold's correlation with inflation was just 1% in the 25-year period of 1986 to 2011, Columbia University's Andrew Ang found. If gold is rising faster than real rates suggest that it should, buyers have to consider whether the price reflects other investors' doomsday scenarios, rather than economic reality.
iShares Gold Trust (GLD) is ahead by 0.9% Friday morning. Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) and Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners (GDXJ) are ahead by more than 2%.

Comments: As a first time hockey player these skates have worked out really well. I can't wait to move up to another pair as my game gets better. Love the pump system. It keeps those ankles tight.
From: Jason, Mt. Juliet, TN
Comments: First pair of skates I've owned and I have liked them for the most part so far. Only criticism I have is the toe area seems to be more constricting during colder weather. Not sure if this is true for all skates or if its just me. Overall, great skate though.
From: Chris, TX
Comments: I bought these for my little brother, He recently began playing hockey and may i say.. He cant be any happier with his skates. The skates are really decent for the price aswell.. My little brother is catching up quickly with the basics. The skates are extremely good for anyone getting into the sport, (: Recommended.
From: Angel, Miami, FL
Comments: Great skates! The pump allows for a second to none custom fit. The armor is good and the bite guard on the tongue keeps the lace bite to a minimum.
From: Andrew, Colorado Springs, CO
Comments: I upgraded to these skates from the Reebok 5K's, and noticed a bunch of nice upgrades. The quater package has a nice composite construction to it, instead of a more fabric-type outer panel. The same goes for the tendon guards, which were both broken on my 5K's, So it looks like the 9K's will be much more durable. I love the felt tongues, which are more durable and comfortable, and do a really nice job of fighting lace bite. The fit of these skates are better than any skate I've had in 25 years. After baking them, I felt no pain in any of the typical hotspots that I've had from breaking in skates. One thing to watch for, are the blade holder bolts. They tend to loosen up pretty quickly (all Reebok skates tend to do this, in my experience). This can usually be fixed by using some bolt lock spray. All in all, I have been very happy with these skates. The only downside is for my wallet, since I don't think i could go below this level of skate again.
From: Kyle, Portage, MI
Comments: These skates are great! i had them baked and after two gamesthey were very comfortable with no foot pain that i had experienced in my old vapor skates! The pump is not as useful as i had hoped but the overall fit is amazing.
From: Cody, Grand Forks, ND
Comments: Good choice for a beginner skater , offer decent support but forgiving at the same time. Pump works well to fit up any small gap better the boot and your heels. Good value for money!

Download AMS-TeX version 2.2 (amstex.zip) br> This archive will unpack into an existing TEXMF structure, in most cases providing a ready-to-use installation.
AMS-TeX is a TeX macro package designed for writers whose material contains a substantial amount of mathematics. AMS-TeX provides high-level commands for many of the more complicated constructions that commonly occur in mathematical formulas---constructions that typically cannot be written in plain TeX except by laborious aggregation of lower-level commands, along with trial-and-error adjustments to the spacing and positioning of the constituent elements.
AMS-TeX was one of the first major macro packages written for TeX; a preliminary version (for TeX78) was publicly available as early as 1981; version 1 of AMS-TeX was available effectively by late 1984. Michael Spivak, the author of AMS-TeX, also wrote a reference manual, The Joy of TeX , which is published by AMS.
AMS-TeX is essentially a superset of of the plain TeX macro package that focuses on adding features for dealing with advanced mathematics. In adapted form, those features are accessible in LaTeX through an amsmath package provided in the AMS-LaTeX collection.
