See you folks!

Well, folks. It's time to go.
I've spent three and a half wonderful years yelling and cheering and bitching and complaining. I've loved every bit of it. But it's time for me to hang up my big-boy blogging pajama pants.
Unfortunately, I just don't have the time to do it anymore. Several changes, all positive, in my professional and personal life, have made it impossible for me to keep writing. It's good news for me and probably better news for you, as you won't be subjected to my ridiculous nonsense any longer. At least in blog form.
It has been awesome having an outlet and a platform to vent, analyze, and throw out ideas about the Canucks. I'm so glad that you folks took the time to read my posts, and comment on them, whether you agreed with me or not. Probably my favourite thing about posting to CanucksArmy was responding to comments. I know that sounds bizarre, but I felt proud knowing that someone read my post and took the time to post something about it., even if it was to call me an ignorant a-hole.
I'm grateful to a lot of people who helped me out and let me be here for 3 ½ years.
Thanks to Wanye Gretz for bringing me into the Nation Network to get CanucksArmy off and running.
Thanks to Kent Wilson for being such an accessible, yet tyrannical and despotic ruler.
Thanks to Patrick, Cam, Jeff, Marda, PB, and Dmitri for being such excellent, entertaining, and informative writers.
Thanks to Mike Duco for playing along. You're a great sport (can somebody sign this guy already?).
Thanks to EVERY ONE of you who ever read one of my posts. And an even bigger thank you, if you commented on one of my articles, no matter what you had to say to me.
And the biggest thanks of all to Thom Drance for taking CanucksArmy and turning into what it is today. When I started blogging here, CA had approximately eight regular readers. Thom's hard work and dedication to the site have turned into one of the most popular Canucks blogs in the smylosphere. He's a number crunching whiz and an incredibly dedicated and passionate blogger. The difference between Thom and I is that I wrote for CanucksArmy, whereas he *IS* CanucksArmy.
I'm still hanging out on Twitter, so let's stay in touch, k?
Thanks, you guys.

It's been a pleasure getting to read your entertaining rants. I'm really going to miss your refreshing take on hockey, especially the "You Know What I Hate" column :(
Good luck and all the best, Cam!
December 07 2012, 12:40PM
Hey Cam, you suck.
Thanks for you kind words sir, and all your hard work around here over the years.
All the best, and look forward to drinking a beer and watching a game with you at some point when I'm in town.
Best of luck with your new endeavors!
December 07 2012, 12:42PM
Thanks for holding the fort here for so long Cam. Good luck in everything moving forward and I hope you stick around to read and comment...
Thanks for this great blog.
Did you make the decision due to the lockout as well?
December 07 2012, 05:42PM
Yes, I still owe you a case of *good* beer.
Thanks to you, my man, for working with Thom to bring me in from the wilderness a year and a half ago. It's been a pleasure to get to know you and learn from you just how to deliver a proper rant.
I'd better see you soon!
December 07 2012, 11:35PM
Always enjoyed your posts, Cam. Best of luck!

President Obama spent only six hours in Burma, applauding the nation's moves toward democracy, but taking pains to remind its military leaders that they have taken only initial steps.
Speaking at the University of Yangon, Obama noted that the United States "now has an ambassador in Rangoon, sanctions have been eased, and we will help rebuild an economy that can offer opportunity for its people, and serve as an engine of growth for the world."
"But," he added, "this remarkable journey has just begun, and has much further to go. Reforms launched from the top of society must meet the aspirations of citizens who form its foundation. The flickers of progress that we have seen must not be extinguished -- they must be strengthened; they must become a shining North Star for all this nation's people."
Among the goals for Burma: No political prisoners, freedom of assembly, eliminating media censorship, and the power of the vote for Burmese citizens.
Huge crowds lined the street for the first-ever visit of U.S. president to Burma, also known as Myanmar.
The U.S. has hopes for better relations with Burma, another key country in a growing Asian rivalry with China.
Notes of caution were also sounded as Obama visited Burmese democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who has spent more than a decade under house arrest by the nation's military regime.
"The most difficult time in any transition is when we think that success is in sight," Suu Kyi said with Obama at her side. "We have to be very careful that we're not lured by the mirage of success."

I looked out of my dorm window at the snow-covered ground, blue bird sky and frosty trees. The sun was shining, illuminating the snow with brilliant clarity as it sparkled in this early February morning. I smiled at how foreign yet beautiful this wintery landscape was. Gone were the sandy beaches, the 80 degree weather, the rustling palm trees and breaking waves that I had grown up with in Hawai'i. What would I do today?

Lasted 12 YearsMy mother gave me this hairdryer because it was too heavy for her. It's not light, but it is so worth it! I have used this hairdryer for the past 12 years and I can't use another one because I am so spoiled! It makes my hair so shiny. I think $100 is such a great investment for a hairdryer that lasted over a decade. Mine finally died yesterday and I am ordering a new one TODAY!Oct 23, 2009Sarah

Absolutely GreatI LOVE it. My hair is so soft and silky that even my kids noticed. I have not changed any other hair products-It is the hair dryer. I had another expensive hair dryer before and this one is so much better. This hair dryer is wonderful.Sep 3, 2009Elisabeth / Englewood, NJ

Nice ChangeI've used this dryer for the past 4 months, and I must say that it does make my life easier. My hair is long, thick and curly and I cannot claim that it allows me to straighten my hair in 1/2 the time. I still have to section off my hair, and all the clipping and readjusting the round brush simply takes time. But, it is now easier for ME to blow my hair straight even if it is humid outside. (Before, this was never a possibility unless my stylist did this for me at the salon.) I live in a coastal, humid area and have only tested this dryer during the most difficult summer months. So, the upcoming winter months should be a piece of cake! Thank you, folica.com, for helping me add a major weapon to my arsenal in my daily battle against my unruly hair!Aug 19, 2009Bonnie JohnsonHAIR TYPECurly Hair / Long Hair

Quiet, Yet So Much Power! Love It!I just got my Elchim 2001 and so far so good. Its pretty quiet (which gets a big thumbs up from my husband) and dries my thick, coarse hair pretty quickly. The only negative is that its heavier than what I was previously using (Revlon Turbo) but its not that bad.May 2, 2009Erin / San Diego, CA

Great HairdryerI was choosing between this and the T3 Hair dryer recommended by Allure (I do trust them). But based on customer reviews (and a tremendous price difference), I went for this one and I am sure not disappointed. I have very stubborn, frizzy hair, and my Elchim does a wonderful job in drying my hair quickly (than my previous dryer) and smoothly. Im sure that my products help, too. Also, it is not too loud compared to other hair dryers I have used. Id recommend this dryer to anyone, I am very pleased.Apr 9, 2009Jenny / Austin, TX

Love It... A Must Have!I bought this hair dryer after a recommendation from a friend. I was always commenting on how shiny and soft her hair looked and complaining about the frizz in mine. She said she thought it could be from my hair dryer. At the time I was using a Revlon ionic dryer off the shelf from a local drug store. Skeptical about spending $90 on a hair dryer I bought the Elchim 2001 anyway. I have long thick wavy hair and from the very first time I used the dryer I was hooked. When I was finished my hair was soft, shiny and frizz-free. I couldnt believe it! It felt like I was leaving the hair salon only I had done it myself at home. Seeing is believing and I am hooked on this dryer. I love it and I would never go back to a cheap hair dryer. It made a world of a difference. Ive had it now for 2 months and bad hair days are a thing of the past! It has the right amount of power, the right amount of heat and is very quiet. I LOVE IT!!!Mar 30, 2009Sue / NJ

Elchim 2001 Professional Hair DryerTwo months ago I purchased the Elchim 2001. I didnt take the reviews seriously because anyone can write them(employees, friends). I have very, very thick, coarse, kinky, dry, African-American hair. Wore braids 4 years. I want a natural look and when I wash my hair; although I use a hot oil treatment and a cholesterol treatment - alternating weekly my hair swells and sticks together like cotton and it is hard to comb. I thank God I found this website. The Elchim is wonderful, it doesnt compare to the other dryers I used. After using this it made since that when I go to the beauty salon they use better dryers, why shouldnt I own one. It comes down to the fact that I was cheap and didnt want to pay that much for a dryer. Anyone out there with the type of hair I have should please go and purchase this product. It takes about 15 minutes for my hair to dry. The comb attachment if wonderful, my old dryer comb attachment pulled out my hair and this one doesnt. I know it will take me a while to get my hair conditioned and moisturized but this dry is just great! It make things so much easier. The heat that comes from it is smooth and pleasant, not too hot, Im going to purchase some for family members this is a great productMar 23, 2009Michele / Los Angeles, California

Elchim 2001I wanted this hair dryer for a long time and finally got it for Christmas. Before this I had a Babyliss. The Elchim is much better, especially for temperature control. My hairdresser once told me that the expensive dryers were expensive not because of the heat they attain but because of the force of the air. All this to say I wanted more air and less heat. I am very happy with the heat consistency of the Elchim. This dryer drys my hair in 10 mins as opposed to the Babyliss that took 20mins. With the Babyliss my hair didnt actually feel as dry as it does with the Elchim. Might sound crazy but me theory is, because the heat on the Babyliss was so high, it just dried the outside of the shaft but not the inside. I live in Montreal, where it gets very cold in the winter, I would notice any level of wetness in my hair when I leave the house believe me!Feb 12, 2009Anonymous

Elchim 2001 Professional Hair DryerIt does dry my hair fast and it is ALOT quieter than than my last dryer(different brand)from Folica. It is also lighter which I "really" like. There are two buttons a red one for speed (high,medium,off) and a black one for temperature (hot,medium,cool). I had to figure that out by myself because the instructions that come with the hair dryer dont come in English and that is the reason I didnt give it a "5". "I" have to email the manufacture to see if they have instructions in English as per customer service.Feb 12, 2009Db / San Antonio,TX

Frizzy In Florida No More!I LOVE this hair dryer. I have very long wavey, layered hair that can get unruly in the humidty. On days when I want a smooth polished look, I would blow dry, then flat iron it, and even then, I might get through a couple of hours before the waves spring back and then the friz takes over. Not with this hair dryer. I have smooth, shiney, bouncey hair that feels so silky in way less than half the time. My blow-out stays smooth without the need for the straightening tools! My hair even looks healthier. This is absolutely the best hair dryer I have ever had.Feb 11, 2009Karen / Ormond Beach, FL

Megabass Pop X
Since it's introduction to the US market in the mid nineties, Megabass has gained a very loyal following among touring pros and the rest of us. Megabass has developed a reputation as being the most active baits in their class and, more important, the most natural actions as well. Each Megabass bait was designed and the prototype hand-carved by the master Japanese lure maker, Yuki Ito. The internal structure of Megabass lures is different than anything else on the market today; the external walls are thinner but completely supported by internal supports and each class of bait utilizes unique Moving Balancers that create the erratic action bass can't resist. The finishes on Megabass lures are unique as well. To give the most life-like look Megabass gives each bait numerous coats of paint that blend to make the color perfect and don't exhibit a sharp line from one color to the next but blend and fade into each other like in real life. All these features makes Megabass the leader in lure development and one of the 'secrets' that win some big money all over the US.

Customer Reviews
Comments: This is the best popper made. It will spit and you can walk it. Quality feather that flashes when the lure is stopped. Always have one tied on. Only issue is that you can't just have one of these. :)
From: Jacob: ATL, GA 5/8/15
Comments: Looks good, casts well, nice hooks, but I don't like it. It pops and spits 'weird' & so far the fish don't like it. Which makes me not like it. I own 4500 Megabass baits (not really but I have a lot), but this was my first pop max. I will keep trying it, but so far, so bad.
From: Jay6: USA 11/5/14
Comments: Great bait. Hooks are sharp, finish is top notch, and this little thing will cast a MILE! True story: last time out I caught two spotted bass on the same cast- one on each treble, both keepers. On sunny days, the threadfin color just slays.
From: Dallas: GA 9/24/14
Comments: I've always heard great things about Megabass lures, but the price has always kept me away. I finally decided to bite the bullet and try these things out after hearing so much hype. I can honestly say I'm very impressed with this lure. It's not like you're buying a basic Pop-R. These things are high quality, and the detail on them is top notch. Everything about this lure is top quality, from the hooks, to the paint, to the body design and shape, and the packaging. After being so impressed with this lure, I went ahead about bought myself one of the Pop Max's, so I could get a little more casting distance with my baitbaster.
From: Seth: Pittsburgh, PA 8/15/14
Comments: Deadly popper, cast's a absolute mile on light braid. Caught lot's of largemouth and a couple smallmouth this summer on this bait. Work it slow, much preferred over the larger PopMax as you get more bites and sometimes larger fish. Hooks are not strong, will bend out after a few fish.
From: Michael: GTA, Ontario, Canada
Comments: This popper here is fine as frogs hair. Quality finishes and good action for a snack size bait. If I need to size it down for the finesse topwater bite, this dog will hunt.
From: Dustin: Sugar Land, TX
Comments: The Pop X is easily the best topwater lure I have fished with. Quick snappy action, amazing finishes, and water intake make this a real winner. I have caught fish after fish on these and its now the only popper I use except the larger Pop Max. The pop X has caught alot more fish for me than the Pop Max but it seems the Max is producing better quality. I jave caught Smallmouth, largemouth, crappie and bluegill and the Pop X so far.
From: Jimmy: knoxville TN
Comments: This was the first popper and Megabass lure for me as well. I bought this lure for fishing small ponds, lakes, etc. However, I have caught so many fish on this small popper I now use it on the river and more. Great action and a couple twitches and a pause the Bass can't resist.
From: David: Maryland, USA
Comments: This was the first Megabass lure I purchased. I had never seen a lure with the attention to detail, design and superb paint. My second cast with this lure I landed my biggest river Smallmouth ever. Since then I have purchased many more Megabass products and have caught Smallmouth, Largemouth and to my surprise a 17 pound King Salmon. I am a lifetime fan of their lures and they are worth spending the money for an excellent product.
From: Rory: Northern California
Comments: I think $18 for Pop X is a steal. C'mon, this is a top water lure - you won't lose it unless you are a shore fisherman.
From: Jade: SoCal
Comments: By far the best top water popper out.... only one close it the Rico....
From: Kris: Durango, CO
Comments: Simply the best top water popper out there...definitely worth the price.
From:K: Ohio, USA


text: ANCHORAGE, ALASKA (AP/Staff) – Alaska State Troopers say a man who killed himself after confessing to multiple murders across the country died in his Anchorage jail cell after cutting a wrist and using bedding material to strangle himself. Troopers say the state medical examiner hasn't determined what injury was the primary cause of Israel Keyes' death. Keyes, who was arrested in Lufkin, was found dead in his cell Sunday morning. Blood-soaked papers that appeared to have writing on them also were found, and have been turned over to the FBI. Keyes was awaiting a March trial in the death of 18-year-old Samantha Koenig. Authorities say he abducted Koenig in February from the Anchorage coffee stand where she worked. Investigators say Keyes sexually assaulted Koenig and strangled her, then left her body in a shed while he went on a cruise. They say he dismembered the body when he returned two weeks later.

|In response to Re: Is my builder sizing my gas lines right?
If those measurements are consecutive, meaning a total 54' run, 3/4" pipe will handle 138,000 btu's and 1/2" 66,000. Unless the furnace has a very small input, the whole system is undersized. I think I know how he sized it using 30' of 3/4" and 30' of 1/2" separately, but that is not the way it is done.
: Thanks for the advice. The home is being built new through a reputable builder (Lifestyle Homes)and has not been inspected for this portion of the construction...yet. Your advice sounds about what I was expecting to hear. I'm really concerned about the pressure drop when the appliances are running at the same time.
: Anyway, I forgot to leave some of the measurements yesterday. (Duh) From the outsidewall/gas meter location to the water heater it's 22 ft. It's reduced from 3/4" to 1/2" about 10 feet from the water heater. From there it goes to the furnace(7 ft) and then to the dryer(10 feet) then finally to the stove (15 feet) I used to have a nice guide to figure this out for myself when I took a course with the gas company in California but somehow misplaced it. Is there a place to find one of these guides for free somewhere on the net? If someone could give me an idea of what it should be that would be great. Unfortunatly I don't have ANY of the appliance BTU ratings. I think most modest dryers, stoves and 40 gallon water heaters would have similar BTU ratings. Also, with a 2,300 sf home in central (temperate) florida, I can't imagine having a furnace rated over 36,000 btu's (??) I'm going to find out within the next day when I cross examine the builder about his plumbers piping!! In the mean time, does the piping size he's given me so far even come close to code/requirements??
: Thanks for the advice in advance.

Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon is a progressive take on the classic American wagon body that delivers style, function and efficiency – including up to an estimated 27 mpg on the highway. It is a unique vehicle intended to connect with the evolving priorities of luxury consumers.
The CTS Sport Wagon is offered as a well-equipped base model and three option collections: Luxury, Performance and Premium. All models offer seating for five or up to 58 cubic feet (1,642 liters) of cargo space with the rear seat folded. CTS Touring and Performance packages that enhance the appearance and sporting driving feel are available.
Base and Luxury models feature a 3.0L V-6, while Performance and Premium Collections come with a 3.6L V-6. Both engines feature direct-injection technology and EPA highway mileage ratings of 27 mpg. All-wheel drive is available, giving this stylish and versatile wagon a greater measure of capability.
Continuous improvements have helped keep the CTS family at the top of customer consideration lists and earn critical praise. That legacy continues in 2013, as the CTS Sport Wagon receives a new grille finish, new exterior color choices – Glacier Blue Metallic, Silver Coast Metallic and Summer Gold Metallic – and the adaptive remote vehicle starting system is now standard on all models.
The CTS's distinctive shield-shaped front grille is updated again for 2013 with a bright appearance on the vertical and horizontal bars that compose the grille's frame. Models equipped with the CTS Touring Package feature a grille with dark vertical and horizontal bars.
The CTS Sport Wagon complements a range of models and body styles that includes CTS Sedan, Wagon and the high-performance V-Series. Please see separate releases for CTS Coupe and CTS Sedan. Also, please see the separate release for CTS-V Wagon.
CTS Touring Package and Performance Packages
The CTS Touring Package edition is available on Luxury and Premium Collections. Highlights include:
The Performance Package is included on the Luxury Collection when equipped with the Touring package and is standard on Performance and Premium Collections. It features:
Also available on Performance and Premium Collections is the Y43-code summer tire Performance Package (RWD models only), which adds or substitutes the following features to the equipment roster included with the standard Performance Package:
CTS Sport Wagon design and exterior features
The CTS Sport Wagon is essentially the same size as the CTS Sedan on the outside, but its unique cargo compartment nearly doubles carrying capacity, with 25.4 cubic feet (720 liters) of space behind the rear seats; and 58 cubic feet (1,642 liters) with the rear seat folded. Design highlights include:
Additional standard and available exterior features include:
CTS Sport Wagon interior
The interior of the CTS emphasizes technical precision with hand-crafted details. An integrated center stack design – with a satin metallic finish – blends into the lower instrument panel that sweeps forward and away from front-seat occupants.
Available heated and ventilated seats incorporate "thin-seat" technology for maximum occupant comfort and enhanced rear-seat leg, knee and foot room. French stitching is used throughout the interior, including the upper instrument panel, door inserts, seats and the shifter boot.
Standard and available features include:
CTS Sport Wagon powertrains
A 3.0L direct-injected V-6 is the standard engine in Base and Luxury models and is rated at 270 horsepower (201 kW). Along with direct injection technology, the 3.0L engine employs continuously variable valve timing to optimize power and fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Highway fuel economy on 3.0L-equipped rear-wheel drive models is 27 mpg.
The CTS Sport Wagon's 3.6L direct-injected V-6 is standard in the Performance and Premium Collections and delivers an SAE-certified 318 horsepower (237 kW). Lightweight features help reduce overall weight for greater efficiency and a more favorable front-to-rear weight balance. Examples include a composite intake manifold that saves approximately 5.5 pounds (2.5 kg) over the weight of a comparable aluminum intake and an integrated cylinder head/exhaust manifold design that saves approximately 13 pounds (6 kg) per engine.
The Hydra-Matic 6L45 six-speed automatic transmission is standard on all CTS Sport Wagon RWD models. The 6L50 six-speed is featured on AWD models.
CTS Sport Wagon chassis and suspension
The CTS chassis enables a great balance of performance and luxury. The hardware includes structural enhancements via a tower-to-tower brace; large, four-wheel disc brakes and a ZF steering rack. Four suspension tuning packages are available: base, performance (standard on 3.6L models and optional on 3.0L models), 19-inch performance all-season and the summer tire performance package with a summer-only 19-inch tire (RWD only).
Suspension tuning for the CTS Sport Wagon is different than Sedan and Coupe models, with larger-diameter stabilizer bars and specific spring rates. The Performance suspension is available on Performance and Premium trim levels with RWD. Its contents include 19-inch aluminum wheels and summer tires, rear load leveling and speed-sensitive variable-assist steering.
Additional features and details include:
CTS Sport Wagon safety and crash-avoidance features
CTS Sport Wagon is designed to enhance Cadillac's reputation for providing safe occupant environments in luxury vehicles. Standard and available features include:
CTS Sport Wagon and OnStar
One year of OnStar Directions and Connections service is standard on CTS Sport Wagon. OnStar is the global leading provider of connected safety, security and mobility solutions and advanced information technology.
OnStar's RemoteLink Mobile App allows smartphone users to control vehicle functions, access vehicle information and send directions directly to the vehicle. A new, opt-in service called FamilyLink allows subscribers to stay connected to loved ones by checking the location of their vehicle online or by signing up for vehicle location alerts.
CTS Sport Wagon features new OnStar button icons. Drivers will notice an updated look for the Hands-Free Calling button, blue OnStar button and red Emergency button.
More information about OnStar can be found at www.onstar.com.

Topic: Understanding Many to Many
I am new to rails and am struggling to figure out just how to use the many-to-many options in the controller, database and view.
Lets say we have an product model and we have:
has_many :categories
and the categories model:
belongs_to :product
So that in principle creates the relationship in the model. How do I go about adding the links to build this relationship? I am under the impression that you would add something like this to the products controller:
@categories = Category.find(params[:category_id])
And then in the view you could use something like product.categories.XXX.
But I am not sure if this is correct or where to go after the model. I have tried many tutorials and they either old or dont seem to work. Can anyone give me a simple tutorial so I can understand the basic relationship and I can then work from there?
I would be truly grateful.

The Golden Compass Daemon Test
Their result for The Golden Compass Daemon Test ...
Independent Soul.
You are calm and logical, but not unemotional. You are an introvert, at heart, preferring to read alone than be subjected to the crush and noise of a big party or bar. You have a few friends and family, whose presence you welcome - to a point. Even they can wear on your nerves eventually, and you need to retreat back into your personal space for a while so you can recharge. Your energy comes in bursts, after which you need a long nap or a couple of evenings at home to recuperate.
You are comfortable with yourself, and reasonably confident. You want the friendship and goodwill of others, but you are not willing to sacrifice your principles in order to get it. If your close friends need something that you can provide, however, you will be the first to offer it.
You are a good and sympathetic listener, and are aware of your friend's emotional states. With your very close friends, you will open up, but rarely - you don't like to burden people with your problems. At the same time, though, you are honest and are not willing to alter the truth for the sake of convenience. Among strangers you are reserved, and may resort to making jokes to disguise your true feelings.
While you are not afraid of conflict, you do not seek it, either. When you are hurt or insulted, you feel that you have a choice to make. You can choose to take the up on it and defend yourself, or you can let it pass. Your decision may depend on how well you know the person, how personally you take the insult, or simply what mood you are in that day. Your friends may not always know how you are going to react, for that reason. Whatever you reaction, though, you will be logical, rational and unnervingly accurate: a measured strike.
Your daemon's form would represent your calm, introverted nature, your cool logic, and your impatience with crowds of people. He or she would probably whisper ironic comments in your ear, give logical advice and try to hide his or her soft side from everyone, even you.
Suggested forms: Peregrine Falcon, Snowy Owl, Snow Leopard, Siberian Tiger, Osprey.
Their Analysis (Vertical line = Average)
They scored -12% on Extroversion, higher than 11% of your peers.
They scored -6% on Sensitivity, higher than 30% of your peers.
They scored 3% on Openness, higher than 58% of your peers.

By PHIL FAUVERGuest Writer
The Emery County Historical Society recently presented the Mysteries of the Mountain Meadows Massacre at the Museum of the San Rafael.
Edward Geary, in his presentation said, "On Sept. 7, 1857 the Indians assaulted the Fancher/Baker party camp. The immigrants were not expecting trouble. After having gone through the Mormon towns they thought their troubles were behind them. They made an open camp. Then just after dawn the Indians began firing into the camp and with a lot of success. There were probably five-seven people killed in that first assault. There were also a number of others wounded. The settlers soon got their weaponry and started firing back. Of course they had better rifles and were better shots than the Indians. They held them off and were able then to arrange a secure fort. They brought their wagons together. They dug holes for the wheels so the wagon box would be down on the ground. They chained the wagons together to make a secure and defensive perimeter. Then they dug a trench inside the wagon circle for the protection of the women and children. After that they were pretty much impervious to the Indians intent. There were two more assaults on the train in the next couple of days. Which were beaten off and a lot more Indians were wounded and killed than the immigrants.
"The wagon train could have held out except for two problems. When they made their open camp they made it about 50 yards from the spring. Because it was marshy around the spring, they did not want to be camping in the marshy area. But once they had secured themselves, that 50 yards became a real problem. Because they could not get water without putting themselves at serious risk. Another problem is that in particular the Baker party apparently had done a lot of target practicing when they were crossing the plains. They shot at everything that moved. Expecting to be able to resupply themselves when they reached Salt Lake City. They were short on ammunition and couldn't hold out for ever. This was the situation.
"Then things began to unravel. President Haight still assumes that the attack would occur later on. A messenger arrived to tell him the attack was under way. The Indians have got them pinned down. What do we do now?
"The Indians not only had them pinned down they were getting angry because they were losing some people. They said to John D. Lee, 'You told us this would be easy. These guys can shoot.' When President Haight gets word of this he sends people out to try to calm things down. He calls a meeting of the Cedar City Stake High Council and other prominent people of Cedar City to decide how to respond to this situation. Haight wants to mobilize the militia to go out and take charge of the situation. But Haight is the Major and President Dame in Parowan is the Colonel. Dame is the commanding officer of the Southern Utah Militia and he says no to Haight's request for permission to mobilize the militia. Leave the immigrants alone, let them go and good riddance as they clear out of our place.
"So President Haight sends out other people to try to get control of things. He sends a party with a couple of fairly hot headed guys. One of them was William Stewart. They go out to the Jacob Hamblin ranch, which was about four miles north of where the immigrants were camped. This was one of the places where the whites were meeting and planning. They learned there that before the attack, the immigrants had sent out two parties. They sent two men to go back to where they had camped the night before to recover some cattle that had wandered away in the night. They sent another party down into the Pine Valley Mountains to make pine tar, because they had not been able to buy any grease for the wheel hubs on their wagons. William Stewart and some other men with him go back to intercept these people that have gone out to catch the cattle. They find them at a spring and one of the men is the Dutchman. The other young man, William Aden, is not really a part of this party at all. He was a young man going West for adventure. He spent time in Utah working as a sign painter and had ridden down as far as Parowan. When the party came through, he found an opportunity to go on to California so he joined them. He was one of the men sent back to recover the cattle. William Stewart shot and killed him. His intention was to kill both men, but the Dutchman got away and ultimately got back to the party.
"Now the problem was, as President Dame saw it, the immigrants know that white men are involved. They know that it is not just the Indians. What happens now if they get through to California? They were attacked by the Mormons. You cannot let that happen. To President Dame it became now, not to chastise the immigrants, but to make sure that no story could be told. This is how these things happen along the way.
"At that High Council Meeting in Cedar City, President Dame was trying to impose his will upon the other people. But there was a blacksmith from Johnson's Spring which is up north, a man named Morrel, a great huge strong man and he was on the High Council. When he came in and heard President Haight talk about the necessity of dealing with these wicked people he said 'that doesn't sound like any gospel I know. How can we take on something like this? Certainly we couldn't do something like this without conferring with Brigham Young.' At his insistence, President Haight sent a rider north to inform Brigham Young in Salt Lake of the situation and to get to the bottom of it.
"James Hadden made a heroic ride. He rode to Salt Lake City and back in 100 hours. He said about a third of that time was spent in waiting for horses. So they sent him as things were becoming unraveled.
"This leads finally to Haight, against Mormon values, allowing them to take out the militia and the massacre takes place and it is terrible at every level. They need to get the people out of their fortifications.
"John D. Lee under a white flag said the militia is lined up outside and have come to rescue you from the Indians and to take you to safety. But the Indians are in the field and if you go out of here with your guns, they are going to come after you. So you got to give us your guns and put them in this wagon and take them to Cedar City. We will then march you out. If the immigrants hadn't been out of ammunition they would never have agreed to such a proposal. Obviously they had no choice. One of them asked Lee if they could trust him. Lee said, 'Look at me. Am I the kind of man that would deceive you?' A common phrase of con men. When someone tells you how honest they are, that should warn you against them.
"They put the wounded people and the children in two wagons with the guns and some bedding. They went first up the road. Then they line up the women and the older children that can walk and they go in the next party. Then the men go with the militia men walking to the side of each of the men. As they go along they deliberately arrange it so the groups get farther and farther apart.
"About a quarter of mile between the women and the children and a half a mile to the men. When they go over a ridge so they won't be able to see each other.
"At this point John Higbee who is commanding the militia gives the signal to halt. At that point each man in the militia turns his rifle on the man next to him and shoots him down. So they have five minutes to complete the task and make sure they were all dead. At the sound of gunfire, the Indians that were stationed in the brush rushed up to where the women and children were and dealt with them. Finally the wounded people in the wagon were killed and the young children were taken to the Hamblin ranch. So this is the massacre, and of course its consequences went on and on.
"Now we will turn to the mysteries. The unanswered questions. How could decent people do this? How could a community of Christians, church going people, that take their religion seriously, that believe they are civilized how could they commit such an atrocity? Remember that a third of these people that were killed were children. That is probably not only an unanswered question, but ultimately an answerable one.
"I think history has given us examples of people doing terrible things under stresses of certain kinds of anxiety. Here again we ask how could they do that and yet proven psychology has in certain circumstances people do things that in other circumstances they would not.
"Here you have a group of people who did not have a violent history. None of the militia members had criminal records or anything of that sort, and who later in their life are decent law abiding people, but under the stress of anxiety and the stress of fearing that they needed to obey their superiors at this time and under the belief that the people they are dealing with are fundamentally evil in some way could do that.
"It was a famous psychological experiment conducted 20-25 years ago now. To see if people would inflict pain on others if they were told to do so by people in authority. What they did was, the subjects of the experiment were brought in and told they were participants, not subjects. They were to be sitting in a room where they could see through a one way window glass into an adjacent room. Someone would be tied up with the electrodes on them and required to do some kind of a complicated task. If they failed to do the task, the subject would turn the dial and give them a shock. If they continued to fail they were to up the voltage.
"The subject was told they were trying to see if pain would be a good motivator to get people to do things more skillfully. In fact the people they were shocking were actors who weren't being shocked at all they were just pretending when they saw the light to be in pain.
"What they found was that most people in this circumstance would continue to turn that dial up past the red line meaning danger. For all they knew they could be inflicting serious bodily harm.
"They had been told to do it. They agreed to be part of the experiment, and that carried the law. But not everyone, some would reach a point where they would say no. This is not right and I am not going to do it anymore. That was true in Cedar City too. There were some people when they were mustered out, that were assigned to do things, even though they knew to refuse would put themselves at risk. They simply said no we won't. There were others who didn't refuse, but when they got to the massacre site, they discharged their guns into the air or into the ground and refused to take human life.
"Human beings under certain circumstances are capable of doing terrible things or acts of heroism. How does this happen? Well we have seen it happen again.
"The second unanswerable question, why out of all of the immigrant parties was this one singled out. I have already alluded to that, partly it was bad luck. They got there just at the wrong time. They were the first to come into these isolated settled communities in southern Utah. They had among them at least some aggressive people that were willing to pick a fight and stir things up as they went along. Here then we have been in situations where things escalate. Haven't we? We have all seen that happen. Homer and the Iliad, the escalation of a quarrel that leads to terrible consequences and then at the end he shows an alternative. Where another quarrel begins and one person says, let's not fight about this, let's get along and everything is defused.
"That did not happen here. No one stepped in at that point. At some point the people we see as our adversaries, the wrong ideas, the wrong religion, the wrong politics. It is easy to cross a boundary where we see them as less human than we are. Not as being like us but as being other. At that point it become easy to do these things.
"Then of course it was rich farmers coming among poor people.
"After the massacre, it was the leaders the militia, officers that got the spoils even though they had promised them to the Indians.
"After they killed these people, they stripped them, not just the Indians but the whites also. They went through their pockets, they took off their clothes. People who came by weeks later said, there were all these naked bodies strewn across the landscape. One private in the militia going through a man's clothing came up with a leather purse that was heavy with gold. He showed it to Major Higbee and Major Higbee said, 'don't touch that, it will burn your hand' and he took it and put in his pocket.
"Another unanswered question or a much debated question was, how far up the Mormon chain of command does this responsibility go. Will Bagley's answer to that question is all the way. That it was a conspiracy from the top down. Virginia Sorensen, I think, more sensibly said, 'you know, the church leaders who went around preaching enmity, saying we have to prepare ourselves to deal with these things. They bear some responsibility for the state of mind this put people into.'
"But the assignment of that event, there is no evidence that this goes beyond the local leaders. President Haight primarily and others along the way.
"Two days after the massacre the rider returns from Salt Lake City with the reply from President Young, who said, 'Do not interfere, let them go their way.'
"Bagley says, 'well you know if you believe in conspiracies then you do not have to take anything at face value, right. If it coincides with the conspiracy you say, oh yes that's right. If it doesn't you say well he says that but what does he mean?' That is a code here. Bagley says let the immigrants go but try to keep on good terms with the Indians. Probably two good pieces of advise. But Bagley says, well they could have understood this to mean. Make sure there is something you can blame on the Indians when it happens.
"Another unanswered question, How many people died at the massacre. The numbers most often quoted is 107 or there about, but it is not clear how you arrive at that number. The children of the Arkansas families have done exhaustive research by identifying their relatives that were in the massacre and they came up with 89 people that they can identify by name. Of these, now count, consider adults start at the age of 16, that is probably not how they thought in those days. But men 16 and above there were 41 they had names for.Women above 16, there were 17. Children under 16, there were 30 killed. Approximately 17 survived. What is the difference between the 89 and 120?
"We know that some people joined the party along the way. Only a few do we know the names of. As they came through Utah, the zeal of the times was making it hard to be a Mormon apostate at that time. If you weren't on good terms with your neighbors, it was a hot place to be and there were a lot of people looking for a way to get out of Utah. Fairly clear reports indicate that two or three joined the train in Springville and possibly others did as they went down.
"One exchange between Major Higbee and a man he killed suggests that they knew each other. Another question, What happened to the 18th child? Seventeen young children were rescued and ultimately reunited with their relatives in Arkansas. But some stories say there were 18 children and various stories have grown up about that. One of the stories that is told is that, one day in Cedar City an immigrant child pointed out a man going by down the street and said that is the man that killed my daddy and that child disappeared. The idea was to save the children that would be to young to tell the tale. It turns out that even 3 year olds can some times tell the tale in later years.
"Another story that grew up is that one Mormon family was given a young baby and became so attached to it that they hid it when the officers came to collect the children and brought that child up as their own. In fact after Juanita Brooks published her book, she received a letter from a woman in Salt Lake who said, 'my mother was the 18th child and she grew up as a Mormon in southern Utah and always kept the secret, but she told me who she was.' In fact there probably wasn't an 18th child. Probably it was 17 to begin with, but the idea of the 18th child is an interesting one to think about.
"About 18 months after the massacre the government came and gathered up the children and took them back to Arkansas.
"Another unanswered question, not a major one, but may have particular interest for an Emery County audience, is what role did Samuel Jewkes have in the massacre. Samuel Jewkes lived in Cedar City that summer and was a member of the militia. If you look at the cast of characters out of probably 40 or more Mormons who were involved to a greater or lesser extent in the massacre only nine were indicted by a grand jury. For most of those indicted, there was ample evidence that they really were very much involved. One of the indicted was Samuel Jewkes. But yet in Walker, Turley and Leonard comments the only indication in the record of Samuel Jewkes being there at all is that John D. Lee listed him in his confession. Generally speaking in the list of those that were there, Samuel Jewkes does not appear. His indictment was dismissed for lack of evidence. So there wasn't much proof to attach him to the event. But why then was he indicted, when only a few were? I do not know if the Jewkes family has information that would answer that question. In the evidence, we do not know if Samuel Jewkes was there. If he was there, what did he do there? We do know that the Jewkes' were given one of the orphans to care for. That's fairly documented. But there were other families that were given orphans that were not involved in the massacre. So that doesn't prove anything one way or the other.
"Finally, the type of people that were there, both before and after the event were exemplary in so many ways. There are histories and stories surrounding the event, however due to some recent works, we have a chance to know more now than was possible to know before. How did the people involved live with this? This was one of the things that Andrew Jensen, sent to get first person accounts, was struck by. He found people in 1892 about 34-35 years after the event, people who are apparently OK. But when you get them started talking he discovers they are absolutely haunted. That this is something that is with them. A generalization is that no one who participated was ever the same again.
"What about John D. Lee? He was there at the beginning, it wasn't his idea. He did not initiate the thing. When he got going he was zealous and pursued it through. His only out is that he felt, he did what he had to do. What makes that a little hard to accept for me is that John D. Lee was most enriched by it. He got more of the cattle than anyone else. He got the best wagons. His case would be more convincing if he hadn't got something out of it.
"For those who want to study the massacre in more detail the following books are recommended: Mountain Meadows Massacre by Juanita Brooks, Massacre at Mountain Meadows by Ron Walker, Richard Turley and Glenn Leonard and Will Bagley's book, Blood of the Prophets, Brigham Young and the Massacre at Mountain Meadows," concluded Geary.

The Town of Parker will soon decide whether to approve a new building for the Parker Task Force.
The nonprofit task force has raised $600,000 over the last five years to build a new, roomier facility, and made an extensive search for a good location. Its spokeswoman, Diane Roth, says the deeding of a one-acre parcel adjacent to the town's headquarters last December was the final piece to make that dream come true.
The Parker Task Force has been operating rent-free out of the lower level of the original municipal building, just west of the existing town hall, but things have become more cramped as demand for food-bank services has grown. If the plans are approved by town council, the task force will expand from a 4,500-square-foot space to 8,000 square feet.
The land on the east side of town hall was appraised for $275,000 to $325,000. It was not designated for any specific use, but was previously offered to the Women's Crisis and Family Outreach Center.
Town Administrator Randy Young was directed by council to identify different parcels to which the task force could potentially relocate. Officials considered a piece of town-owned land near Salisbury Equestrian Park and county-owned property near the Parker Police Department headquarters, but determined that the parcel next to town hall was the most ideal spot.
"They've outgrown the space they're in," Young said. "It's a need that the community has that's not going to go away."
The additional space would afford more privacy during consultations with clients, Roth says. The land is also centrally located, enabling seniors who live nearby to walk or take a quick bus ride to the food bank. The volunteers who run the task force are especially excited about the prospect of improved organization.
"One of the big benefits is we're able to design the building as a fully functional food bank and human services agency," Roth says.
Food will be staged behind the shelves instead of being stored and stacked in cardboard boxes, and walk-in freezers and refrigerators will allow more room for perishables. The parking area is also expected to be larger and more easily accessible.
Having shared a campus with the task force since 2002, the town is happy that the crucial public service agency will stay nearby.
"We have looked at it as a win-win," Young said. "I've learned a lot about the needs we have in this community and was surprised to find out how much need we truly do have."
The Parker Planning Commission is expected to decide in the coming weeks whether to approve the plans, including a design that will resemble surrounding structures.
Roth said the task force is hoping to move into the new facility by Thanksgiving, but the timeline will depend on the approval process and construction schedule.
Homeowners in the Rowley Downs subdivision have opposed the location and appealed to town council to choose a different site.
The food bank was created by three women 26 years ago and originally was housed in a horse barn. It has moved to different town-owned facilities over the years, including the Mainstreet Center, the quonset hut that once stood in O'Brien Park, and the first town hall. The partnership with the town has been crucial.
"Without the support from the Town of Parker, this organization would not have been able to grow and be successful in working in the community," Roth said.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
Helper won their last home game by 11-1 in five innings against Kearns. "Everyone hit the ball very well and Morgan Bates pitched a very good game. Morgan struck out seven batters while walking only two. He gave up five hits and pitched the entire game. Once again Chris Hatch had a great game. He was solid on defense and went 2-3 with the bat, including a homerun. He and Joe Via both hit solo homeruns in the first inning and we took a 2-0 lead. Kearns scored their only run in the second inning on two walks and two hits. We came back in the second inning and scored three more runs on two walks and three singles. Trevor Thompson had a good game also going 2-2 and driving in 2 runs. In the third inning we scored 5 more runs on a single by Mike Smith, a double by Thompson, a single by Ricky Lopez and a homerun by Chandler Pearson. We scored one more run in the fourth inning on three singles. As it stands we are 14-3 and will probably go into the state tournament as the number two seed," said Manager Jeff Cisneros.
A loss on Friday brought the Helper team to 14-4 in league play and overall 26-6 for the season.
Helper will head off to the state tourney which begins Saturday in Salt Lake. The team this year consists mainly of players from the Carbon High State Championship with two players traveling up from Moab to play and four players from Emery County completing the roster.
Chandler Pearson, a graduate of Emery High in 2004 has been playing all season at either shortstop or has been on the mound pitching. Chandler had won eight straight times before the team lost to Cyprus two weeks ago 7-4. Cisneros said, "Chandler has been our best pitcher this season and has been our most consistent. Chandler is also hitting the ball really well."
Wes Baletka, also a 2004 Emery graduate has seen considerable playing time at second base this year. He shares the position with Ricky Lopez of Moab.
Trevor Thompson who will be a senior at Emery High this year has been starting at centerfield all year. According to other coaches in the region, Trevor is by far the best centerfielder in the league. He has only had one or two errors all season but over the last couple of weeks his batting has really picked up.
Blake Mortensen has been playing backup catcher taking Joe Via's place when he needs a break. Via was an outstanding player on Carbon's team this past season. The state tournament will consist of 16 teams, probably nine from the Salt Lake region, four from the north region, three from the south region. Helper played in the Salt Lake region with 4A and 5A schools with the exception of Tooele.
Coach Cisneros reminds players that each season he holds tryouts for interested players from southeastern Utah. He explains his rules and the time commitment involved in being a member of the team.
Helper finished second in their region for the season.

Virgin Blue and The Black Eyed Peas join music's Mile High Club06/10/2009
Tuesday 6 October 2009 Brisbane, Australia: On Friday October 9 at 1:00pm in Melbourne Australia, Virgin Blue and internationally acclaimed three time Grammy winners THE BLACK EYED PEAS will become part of music and aviation history as they board flight DJ9001 from Melbourne Airport to Perth where the cheeky Aussie airline and The Black Eyed Peas, will create the 'Mile High Karaoke Plane' at 41,000 feet.
In what is set to become an Australian first, The Black Eyed Peas, touring nationally in October, will jam live during the private four hour long flight, ahead of their final Australian concert at Burswood Dome on Saturday.
Nearly 140 V.i.P Guests, including 30 winners from a national competition run by News Limited, will join the Peas onboard and share this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as well as being given the chance to showcase their vocal ability alongside the talented quartet in a mile-high karaoke session.
American fans did not miss out either with 10 tickets on the flight snapped up last week online via a special Ebay charity auction. The winning bidders will now fly half way around the world with V Australia and join the Mile High Karaoke flight from Melbourne. All money raised through the auctions will benefit the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research which aims to improve and to promote the health and well-being of all children through the unique application of multidisciplinary research.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said, "As well as being the official airline for the Australian leg of The E.N.D World Tour, getting the chance to work on such a unique project with The Black Eyed Peas was an opportunity we just couldn't pass up. It most definitely is an Australian first and who knows, we may even end up breaking a world-record somewhere along the way."
In contrast to the larger than life visually extravagant light-show of their The E.N.D World stage production, The Black Eyed Peas will make the most of Virgin Blue's specially modified Boeing 737-800 aircraft for their mile-high performance.
Following three months of intense planning by a team of more than 50 people including engineers, technicians and staging professionals, the aircraft has been transformed into a unique venue which promises a very intimate experience for those lucky enough to be on board. The aircraft also features a specially designed signage decal fitted to its fuselage to mark the occasion.
The Black Eyed Peas have made history with the longest successive stay at the top of the USA Billboard Hot 100 chart with 26 consecutive weeks at number 1. "I Gotta Feeling" has held the top spot for the past fourteen weeks after replacing their first single "Boom Boom Pow" which then spent 12 weeks at number 1. This is the longest consecutive stay for any artist in the Billboard chart's 51-year history.
Official partners of the Mile High Karaoke flight include Virgin Blue Airlines Group (incorporating Virgin Blue, V Australia, Pacific Blue and Polynesian Blue), The Black Eyed Peas, News Limited, Frontier Touring and Universal Music.

Martin Gelinas returns to Calgary
Ryan Pike
June 14 2012 03:39PM
When new head coach Bob Hartley went to look for a new member of his coaching staff, he didn't look very far. On Thursday afternoon, the Calgary Flames officially announced that former NHLer (and former Flame) Martin Gelinas was joining the club as an assistant coach.
By sheer coincidence, Gelinas lives in Calgary and remains in touch with Flames captain Jarome Iginla and assistant to the general manager Craig Conroy. Gelinas met with Hartley earlier this week and was offered the position soon afterwards.
"It was my first meeting. It was a very good meeting. It was about an hour and a half. He went over a lot of stuff and [after I] came out [of the meeting], I had a good vibe," said Gelinas.
According to Flames general manager Jay Feaster, Gelinas was the only person interviewed for the vacant coaching position. He joked that earlier this month, Hartley flew to Calgary to find a place to live for the season and signed a contract to rent the first house that he and his wife looked at.
"What Bob said to me, 'This is my guy, this is my coach," said Feaster. "What he lacks in the experience of being behind the bench as a coach, he said he more than makes up for in the other things that [Hartley was] looking for. One of the big things is the ability to communicate, the ability to connect with players, the ability to have the respect of the veteran players in that room."
While Gelinas' role will be different than some may have anticipated – he'll be an all-around contributor and will focus on improving the club's special teams performances – he's also a guy that has experience both with the Flames older core players and as a development coach with the Predators. That experience may make him the ideal resource for NHL and AHL players dealing with demanding head coaches in Bob Hartley and Troy Ward.
"Bob I'm sure will be hard, but he'll be fair," said Gelinas. "Sometimes they won't like what they hear. My job after that is to make sure they understand why this is happening. You know what, nobody's mean in this business, I don't think. We all want to win. We all want to make a difference. It's just to be sure they understand why this is happening. That'll be my job and Jacques' probably after that."
Other Notes From The Presser
- Gelinas has signed a three-year contract with the Flames.
- Feaster confirmed that both goaltending coach Clint Malarchuk and video analyst Jamie Pringle will be back next season.
- Feaster noted that the scouting staff will begin arriving in Pittsburgh for the draft on Sunday and continue to work their list. As with last year's draft, the Flames will be "drafting their list."
- Finally, Feaster said that while he feels the club doesn't have the assets to move up in the draft, he's open to potentially moving down if the offer is right. He didn't say what would tempt him to move his pick, but noted that he believes the Flames can recoup their lost second rounder.
June 14 2012, 04:04PM
It Was In
Feaster feels they can recoup their lost 2nd rounder. I'm curious to see how that can happen.
No problem with Gelinas coming in. I'm actually anxious to see if this group of coaches can get a response from our current roster...I am pessimistic that many changes will occur other than a few players being allowed to explore free agency. The thing I do like is that the head coach was allowed to hire his own coaches, unlike when Darryl was here and he made those decisions while GM.
Great this Gelina hiring is confirmed and sometimes it is nice & easy but still risky to hire "friends" or those with simlar cultural or playing backgrounds. But in this case, I am all in favor given the man's character, Gelinas will be the buffer between Hartley and the players I think. Glad to see Malarchuk and Pringle back, seem to be decent coaches. I don't know if Feaster is just "blowing smoke" with the "we will likley only trade down" stuff. He does not want to tip off media and us to his real plans. Yakupov! (or not)
I'm actually really excited about this group of new coaches. While my first choice would've been Mike Sullivan, I think as a whole, this will be an interesting group to watch.
Whether or not they make any difference because the team is complete crap is another thing.
But not a bad group of coaches. Not bad at all.
"Feaster feels they can recoup their lost 2nd rounder. I'm curious to see how that can happen."
Pretty easily, he trades his first round pick for a lower first round pick and second round pick. It's generally not something I like to see.
I wonder if he's got someone in his list ranked higher then consensus in the 8-14 range(Jankowski?).
@JF - I'm with you in that I usually don't like to see that either. To me it just indicates that a team isn't really sold on anyone and that they treat the draft as a complete crapshoot.
On the other hand, in drafts like last year and this year it means you could do it and end up looking good if you keep using your extra picks to swing for the fences and those picks work out.
But there is no real consensus in this draft, so you also risk missing out on players you like by gambling that they'll fall.
Very exciting, great to the gelinas back.
As far as feaster, I get a feeling he is talking to tampa about vinny l.. He mentioned yzerman in the fan 960 and all their draft picks. I don't know why, but I just really feel something like that might happen. Hope not, that cap hit is brutal.
June 14 2012, 04:42PM
Feaster picks up Vinny L and this whole youth rebuild stuff is smoke.
Move Kipper to Tampa and pick up sone solid youth. Maybe even a pick. But don't take Vinny. Please!
As for moving our first to get a lower first with a 2nd, anyone like Tom Wilson as a lower first (still like Emil Lundgren; with a deep group of d-men in the draft, we might still get a decent one in the 2nd round, as well)
I am not a fan of the trading down idea--not in theory, though my opinion could change awful quick depending on who they end up taking. For example, I've seen Pontus Aberg slipping in a lot of mocks lately for some reason. then of course there's this Jankowski guy I keep hearing about.
I'll play party pooper. Although I like Gelinas, how does this help the Flames?
Is this a window dressing move? Everyone keeps reliving '04, however in the past few years it feels like that run has become somewhat of a curse.
Everyone has been trying to distance themselves from that miracle run. Yet, management hopes to squeak into 8 and ride Kipper the whole way.
After the lockout, four first round exits and now three years of no playoffs should be telling enough to wake up and smell the coffee.
Fix the on ice talent, a hire like a JD would really mean a hockey guy taking care of hockey operations. Not some newspaper tycoon who has no clue how to ice a winning team. They have to go back to the mentality of winning division titles or being in the top 4-5.
June 14 2012, 05:43PM
Pretty excited to see "the eliminator" back with the club. He is a fan favorite and was also a very popular guy in the locker room. Hope he can be the bridge between the players and the coaches.
On the contrary, this is just another move which shows that Jarome Iginla kind of dictates pretty much everything. I have a feeling that Iginla had a big hand in this hiring, via Craig Conroy. Sad but true, this club will be what Iginla wants it to be. Rest assured, next season we can be guaranteed of watching, on a regular basis, him standing on the opposition's blue line waiting for the puck to be fed and then going on a breakaway only to turn around empty handed. This will happen on a nightly basis.
Very disappointing...I was one of the biggest Iginla fans (I also had his name as my screen name on a different website), but to see a stand up guy like that control a whole franchise is very disappointing. I guess, I'm going to be a disheartened Flames fan for years to come.

Just so I have this straight, the Flames hold a presser where the coach talks about how jacked he is to hire his own guy without interference from the GM and you think this is a sign that Iginla is pulling the strings to guarantee himself a cherrypicking role?
I mean, wow. Just wow.
June 14 2012, 06:16PM
Wow...I mean just wow....
I wish I was as naive as you are. I would be jumping up and down like a 5 yr old right now, thinking how bright the future is for this hockey club.
Bouncing here and there and everywhere??? Gummy berry juice!
June 14 2012, 07:35PM
Gotta admit, I didn't anticipate this particular comment string getting heated.
I blame Ryan.
Hey Jay - the Habs just called....they want their coaching staff back!!
"Feaster feels they can recoup their lost 2nd rounder. I'm curious to see how that can happen."
Pretty easily, he trades his first round pick for a lower first round pick and second round pick. It's generally not something I like to see.
I wonder if he's got someone in his list ranked higher then consensus in the 8-14 range(Jankowski?).
Fair enough and I'm in agreement that's it's not something I'd like to see. Would rather see them trade up but they don't have the assets to do that this year.
@Ryan Pike
Darryl tried that line when he signed Cameron... I didn't buy it then either. I prefer to think of it as them basically getting an additional 7th round pick (being undrafted by everyone afterall) with some obvious exceptions (Schulz).
I'm not ecstatic about Hartley by any means, but I cannot argue that he's got the cred to have the job. It has to translate to on-ice success or anybody they put behind the bench doesn't matter. I want to see some changes to the player roster.
Calgary swaps 1st round picks with Boston Calgary recieves Krejci and Khoklachev. Boston recieves Kipprosoff
Was mentioned the other day that because this UFA is so thin with teams in need, Calgary just may get lucky & trade Joker for a 2nd. With his NMC, the fact he waives to make the deal shows intent he would sign with the team giving uo the 2nd. I'd pee my pants if Feaster pulled that one off.
I think this coaching staff looks great. Some gut feeling is telling me Iggy is in the process of deciding if he wants to stay in Calgary knowing that his new coach is a task master & extremely demanding. I think success on the ice spawns from the fitness & conditioning Hartley expects from these players. If Iggy commits & buys in, I think we will see more elite performances from him. Big decisions are coming. I'm stoked because I do not see the same ole same ole this upcoming year.
What I found interesting was the comment Feaster made about the spring meetings and the arguements/discussions about ranking smaller players because the orgranization already has a number of them and you cant build a whole team of smaller players. According to Feaster the philosophy was spelled out that it does not matter about size, it is about skill, explosiveness, and character. Makes me think that they could have Collberg ranked higher in their list. Because he is ranked lower on most public lists that the Flames could drop 5-10 spots and pick up draft picks and still get him.

I don't deserve a happy Mass Effect 3 ending
Posted on 27th Mar 2012 at 08:44 by Paul Goodhead with 43 comments
My Mass Effect 3 play through started off so well - so promising, so full of hope. I was going to get the best ending possible, the one where everyone lives happily ever after and nothing was going to stop me. Yes, OK, the reapers were here and they were tearing the earth a new one, but I was confident I had the friends and the ballsy get-it-done attitude to sort them out one way or another. They were messing with the wrong galaxy this time.
