One big positive about the possibility of the Phoenix Coyotes returning to Winnipeg is that Edmonton would no longer be perceived by players as the second-least desirable destination in the NHL, which it now is.
Loud and proud Edmontonians don't like that perception, but civic pride doesn't make it any less true or any less rampant among NHL players, all of whom get a choice of where they play as unrestricted free agents.
Goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov, fresh from costing himself millions of dollars in contract money as a pending unrestricted free agent with a Swiss cheese impression against the Detroit Red Wings, stuck the blade into Winnipeg good and deep, then twisted, when talking to reporters after what stands to be the last NHL game in Phoenix Wednesday.
What Bryzgalov, the Knob Hockey hero but series zero, said about the city of Winnipeg was every bit as unflattering as the NHLPA survey of last January in which 20 per cent of 318 players polled rated Edmonton as the place where they'd least like to play. The New York Islanders finished at the bottom of the destination barrel at 27 per cent.
"You don't want to go to Winnipeg, right?" Bryzgalov said after the Coyotes lost to Detroit. "Not many people live there, not many Russian people there. Plus it's cold. There's no excitement except the hockey. No park, no entertaining for the families, for the kids. It's going to be tough life for your family.
"I've been there for just once, maybe twice, when I play in minors. It was really cold," Bryzgalov said. "I used the tunnels between the buildings to get to the arena. Because it was minus 40-something. Real cold."
Winnipeg, like Edmonton, has geography, size and climate going against it. On top of that, Winnipeg has a small building, while Edmonton has an old building. Neither city is seen as a bustling and thriving metropolitan destination compared to Vancouver, Montreal or Toronto or several US markets.
Winnipeg is a damn good hockey town, just like this neck of the woods is. But, if Winnipeg does return to the NHL, it'll be just as hard-pressed to attract quality free agents as Edmonton has been during its five straight years out of the playoffs and back-to-back 30th-place finishes.
Building a winning franchise will help mitigate the negatives -- it works just fine in Detroit -- but that, obviously, will take time, whether you're talking about Winnipeg or Edmonton.
I'd rather spend vacation time, and do, in Scottsdale or Glendale or greater Phoenix than in Winnipeg, but I hope the Jets are back. The NHL needs good hockey towns.
-- While I don't expect him to cough up the Oilers draft list before the scouting staff meets and gets on the same page, I'm going to put in a call to Stu MacGregor in the next few days. Lots of takes on Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and the other top prospects around here. I want his.
-- Does the math still love Dustin Penner more than old school reporters do? I'm not seeing any underlying numbers to mitigate the no-show he's pulled after a promising start with the Los Angeles Kings. Unsurprising.
-- Same thing when it comes to getting a handle on Colten Teubert. I'll try to get Kevin Lowe's take on Teubert, although his look at him has been limited by an injury that's kept him out of the Hamilton series.
-- Cameron Abney got an entry-level deal from the Oilers today. Big kid might be a factor in the Oilers bottom-six mix in a year or two if he picks up another step and puts some meat on the big frame of his.

Go Hawks. Lol. I love it!
Oh and FISTY FIST!!!
EDIT. Dam FISTY second.
Bryzgalov may be a good goalie (unless there's pressure) but this isn't the first time he's commented on the Canadian winter. Here's what he said about Edmonton once upon a time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ns14hRqwY8
Dear Ilya, Last time I checked, the KHL's area of operations isn't exactly paradise either.
I'm surprised that Cameron Abney got the contract over Drew Czerwonka, who is a much better player who can do what Abney does.
A few years ago , my son and I went to San Jose to catch an Oiler game in early March. I remember walking around the palm tree lined streets, in shorts, and passing a couple of Sharks walking to the arena a few hours before game time. I'm sure we were the only ones who recognized then, otherwise they were totally anonymous. In that moment I realized if I was a Canadian kid from Moose Factory or some place, and my choice to play hockey for millions was under the magnifying glass in Edmonton where my every move in public is scrutinized and the winters are long and brutal, or California, or some such place where I could make the same money and live a relatively quiet life out of the spotlight, I know where I would go. There are many exceptions, of course. Winning teams tend to appeal to a free agent on the backside of a career spent on non Stanley Cup contender(Marion Hossa, Dan Hamhuis). Money and security appeal to others(do people think Kovalchuk signed in New Jersey for the scenery?) Desirable teams still bump up against the cap, leaving players looking for a fit. If the Oilers start winning and building momentum toward a cup run, free agents will start to listen to the pitch from Oilers management. Nothing succeeds like success.
RB: I'll take what 27 did in Edm over a much larger sample size to judge him rather than what he's done thus far in LA.
If he still looks this unproductive say 25 games into next season, then I'll agree with you.
BTW, are you as unsurprised at how JDD is doing in the playoffs with the Barons?;)
I go from air conditioned house to my air conditioned car to my air conditioned job. Does Ilya and his family go to the park when the summer heat kicks in? +40' to +48' in the summer. Right. Thats where I want to live. There is a reason that Canadians live there only during the winter. Its too darn hot any other time of the year. If you like Desert its the place to live. And when you get the inversions, the pollution from all those air conditioners really increases the quality of life.Dosen't it? My wife always says that she thinks I am smarter when my mouth is shut. Ilya Bryzgalov might want to take some advice from my wife.
As far as free agency goes. Who cares. Look at how well that has gone with Edmonton. Build from within. Winnipeg will fill the stands for the next 3 seasons. Sportsnet and TSN will load a brinks truck and drop it off at the front door of the MTS Center for the rights to broadcast the JET's. CBC will fall over themselves to get them on the scheduel of HNIC on back half of the double header. The rating will be huge. The fans will buy nerchandise by the truckload. And the players will get paid in US dollars. Which is less than the Canadian $$$$.
I'm not sure what your point is. I seriously doubt if any NHL player spends his summer in the desert. I suspect most of them are at their gated golf course communities/summer cottages/helping Dad on the farm/anywhere but Phoenix/Dallas/Nashville etc. The point is, if you only work during the winter, all other things being equal, would you rather work in Phoenix/San Jose or Winnipeg/Edmonton? Free Agents have a place - all Stanley Cup contenders sign them. The point is to sign them prudently, when they will be most effective, when your team is at its most attractive, and when all the other pieces are in place, mostly from in-house development.(like you said) All that being said, I really hope teams move from the southern US where they are mostly novel, boutique sports with a relatively small core of followers, to places like Quebec City and Winnipeg, where there are more hard-core fans in the average sports bar then there are in the state of Georgia. Plus it's easier for me to get a hate on for Winnipeg than Phoenix any day.

This may well have been talked about before, but I have to say my piece.
I think the greatest story would be if Selanne RETURNED to Winnipeg. I know every year he contemplates retirement and this year will probably be no different. He is reaching, and some would say past that age, yet his performance at his age has been legendary.
(to those who might not know this story) Teemu Selanne tried really hard to keep the team in Winnipeg when it was leaving. He didn't just say it, he organized what may have led to local investors raising enough capital to actually keep the team there. As the story goes, that's why he was traded from the Jets right then and there, despite the fact he was very young and an NHL superstar already.
He was loved in Winnipeg like no other player, and revered for his loyalty to the city in the crunch time. If he is going to retire in one year's time, why not go back to where it all began, and finishing the story the right way. That would be an inspiring story for the ages.
April 22 2011, 11:05AM
Bryzgalov makes it seem like they're dirt-wall tunnels. You can get anywhere you need to downtown through a series of tunnels and skywalks, most of which are lined with shops and restaurants. There's also a mall underneath Portage and Main.
It's not like it's a freaking coal mine.
April 22 2011, 11:19AM
IF hockey does come back to Winnipeg, the question begs this..would Selanne consider delaying retirement for one more season to top off a great career in where it all began? That being as a member of the Winnipeg Not Yet Determined Team Names?
haha Winnipeg sucks worse than Edmonton. Finally something refreshing to hear! A Free Agent slagging a cold depressing northern city and it's not us!
Pass me anotha BL. I'm pourin out some malt lika for my boy Bryz'..
April 22 2011, 07:43PM
More than players wanting to play for a winner, they really don't want to play for a loser. That's why the Isles poll in at 27%.
As for the 20% that don't want to play for the Oil - I would bet that a very small percentage of them hail from Western Canada. So what if Nik Antropov doesn't want to play in E-town? We don't want him. Guys like that always go play for crappy teams in warm climates where the second biggest reason for signing next to money is annonymity. How do you build a winner with character like that?
Doug Weight wanted to win in Edmonton. Taylor Hall wants to play here. Eberle does too. Nugent has said he would be honoured to be drafted by the Oil. Tkachuk and Selanne were legendary in Winnipeg ... Alexei Zhamnov not so much.
This thought that a City like Edmonton or Winnipeg can't attract top talent is a myth. It's been perpetrated by Lauren Pronger and Dany Heatley as a truth, but in fact it's not. Once we start winning, Edmonton will actually have a competitive advantage retaining and attracting talent.
You're right in saying that competitiveness is the greatest factor. But for every spineless greedbag who'd rather avoid playing for a prairie team, there are all sorts of guys who you WANT to build a team around who would rather be a legend on Whyte Ave instead of a nobody on Peachtree street.
You know John, I think you're right.
I have lived in Edmonton most of my life. and like many of you have lived or spent time in other major cities, so you know of Edmonton's challenges.
Given the choice to make $2M in Edmonton, or $2M in a warm sunny place like Tampa Bay ....
As @Ned Braden put it:
I was born and raised here but if someone offered me the same money to do the same job and live the same lifestyle in Phoenix, Atlanta, Florida or any place warm and sunny year round I would be out of here in a second!
But given the choice to play for a contender or play for the history that is Atlanta/Florida/Phoenix....
I know which one I would pick, and it doesn't have a green Christmas.
Watching the games tonight, Lindy Ruff and Barry Trotz too great coaches, players always so up and play for them no matter what. You can draft RNH and it will be a great pick just watch Tyler Ennis. I would target these two players if possible, Cody Franson and Ray Emery. I know with Emery that Khabi would have to be moved out somehow.
Would the NHL consider suspending the the Coyote franchise for a couple of years? In turn they could grant Winnipeg an expanssion franchise. The players could be dispersed or given free agency. It dosen't look like the NHL wants to continue with the status quo. Neither does Gary Bettman want to lose that large a market. The City of Glendale and the NHL would then have time to find a new owner who wouldn't have to deal with all the issues there are now. The expansion money could pay back the NHL owners the money they have lost on the Pheonix franchise. Winnipeg gets a team. NHL gets time to reevaluate the situation in Pheonix and the fans in Pheonix get the promise of a fresh start sometime in the future. Thoughts?
April 23 2011, 04:48PM
Why in the world would the Oilers want a goaltender with a history of attitude and health issues when they already have an up-and-comer in Dubnyk and an un-tradeable guy in Khabibulin?
Makes no sense. None.

That stuff is in the past with Emery, maybe not so much the health issues, but he looks like the real deal with the ducks. I feel Khabibulin game has really dropped off and the oilers can bury his contract if needed, unless I'm wrong. With Dubnyk yes he's a up-and-comer but is inconsistant and Emery has something to prove and would be a good fit for 35-40 games and would come at a good price. It's time to think out of the box, I don't think that it would be completely outta the question.
April 23 2011, 08:56PM
Players who aren't here for the long-term are transition players. They are important in the development of a team.
They are usually veterans who can help younger players develop either by leading by example or by being great pros who know the ropes. Emery fits into neither category -- he's not a great leader and his time as an established goaltender is marginal. Khabibulin is a better teammate.
You might think otherwise, but I'm telling you there is no reason to bring Emery here. None.

HEAVY Handbag, even the straps and keychain aswell
"I thought I was going to love it, but I couldn't. Love the bag but the strap is completely useless, because the straps too long and it just doesn't look right to have the straps clasp be one is the front and one in the back of the handbag. I guess the strap is just for decoration. AND the handbag is "extremely" heavy the chain straps/keychain make the bag even worse, but without them the handbag looks plain. No, cellphone pockets inside either, just a small zipper pocket."

Vietnamese film fest is back, bigger than ever
It's hard to believe, but the homegrown Vietnamese International Film Festival is already 10 years old.
What started in October 2003 with a group of local Vietnamese Americans screening a handful of previously released films for friends, family and the curious public has blossomed into a full-fledged international film fest, with multiple venues and a record 69 films scheduled, including a number of world and U.S. premieres.
The sixth biennial festival opens Thursday with the first public screening of "Beyond the Mat," a wrestling movie and coming-of-age tale directed by Van M. Pham. "ViFF," as organizers and fans call it, will continue through the weekend, resume April 11-14 and close with "War Witch," an award-winning and Oscar-nominated drama directed by Kim Nguyen.
"It's just becoming more international," said Ysa Le, co-director of the film fest and one of its founders. "You can see a lot of different types of film – they cover a lot of different topics and various genres. The quality has been going up from the first year, because the filmmakers have become more mature in their careers. Technically, they're more advanced. We expect to have an awesome ViFF."
ViFF is produced by the Vietnamese American Arts and Letters Association, or VAALA, and UCLA's Vietnamese Language and Culture club. It has become the largest Vietnamese film festival in the United States, and possibly outside of Vietnam.
For volunteer organizers such as Le and Helena Tran, ViFF is part of an ongoing aspiration of bringing Vietnamese arts and culture to a broader audience.
"I really believe that film can play a big role in preserving and promoting one's culture," said Helena Tran, a Garden Grove resident and treasurer of ViFF and VAALA. "We've made a huge contribution toward helping the filmmakers with a Vietnamese background to follow and achieve their dreams. I also feel like I've grown a lot, just being part of ViFF, as a person. It's helped me to be more mature."
For filmmakers such as "Beyond the Mat's" director, Pham, the festival is an opportunity to screen a new film in front of a supportive audience and build word of mouth, which is critical in the movie industry.
"I want to give back to the community first and get general feedback on it," said Pham, a graduate of Chapman University's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. "To have ViFF around, as a filmmaker, it definitely provides a platform where I can get that grassroots support."
Pham's wrestling movie, set in a suburban Ohio high school, stars John Wynn as Aaron Miller, a Vietnamese American teenager who was adopted by a white family as a baby. "I wanted to cast an Asian in a movie in a nonstereotypical role," Pham said. "The wrestling is based on my own experience."
After the opening-night screening at Edwards University Town Center 6 in Irvine, a gala will be held at Steelhead Brewing Co., also in the University Center shopping district, across from UC Irvine.
On Friday from 11 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana will host Senior Citizens Day, with free film admission to all attendees 60 and older with ID. At 7 p.m. at Edwards University, the festival will present the U.S. premiere of "Scandal," a Vietnamese-language film directed by Victor Vu, a onetime Fountain Valley resident. Vu, who has shown at ViFF before, has gained quite a following in Vietnam, setting box-office records there and producing popular movies at a breakneck pace.
On Saturday at 1 p.m., the festival will present short films at Edwards University, followed at 4 p.m. by "In the Name of Love," a dark, romantic thriller written and directed by Luu Huynh.
At 6 p.m. Saturday, ViFF will present its Inspiration Awards at Edwards University, with a special tribute and award presentation to Tran Anh Hung, director of "The Scent of Green Papaya," an Academy Award nominee for best foreign language film and winner of the Golden Camera Award at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival.
After the ceremony, the fest will screen Tran's 2010 film "Norwegian Wood," a Japanese-language film (with English subtitles) based on the novel by Haruki Murakami.
On Sunday, UC Irvine will screen shorts starting at 1 p.m., and Edwards University will present "Love Puzzle" at 4 p.m. "Love Puzzle" was directed by Charlie Nguyen, who lives in Buena Park and Vietnam. UC Irvine will also be the site of a free panel discussion from 2 to 4 p.m. featuring Kieu Chinh, Tran Anh Hung, Victor Vu, Siu Pham, Nguyen Nu Nhu Khue, Dan Tran, Chuong T. Bui and Ken Dat Duong.
At 7 p.m. Sunday, the fest will show Vu's action thriller "Blood Letter" at Edwards University.
The festival moves to UCLA on April 11, with free admission to all attendees. One highlight will be "Battle B-Boy" at 7:30 p.m., a 2012 film written and directed by Frank Lin.
April 12 will be High School Day at the Bowers Museum. All high school attendees with ID will be admitted free. Short films will play starting at 11 a.m., and at 4 p.m., "Little Hanoi" by Martina Sakova will screen, followed by a Q&A. "The Crumbles" will run at 7:30 p.m., preceded by "Twister," a three-minute film by festival alum and Huntington Beach resident Stephane Gauger.
On April 13, UC Irvine will offer "Pearls of the Far East" at 4 p.m. in Humanities Instructional Building 100, and "Mr. Cao Goes to Washington" at 4 p.m. in Humanities Gateway 1070. The world premiere of the horror flick "House in the Alley," written and directed by Le-Van Kiet, will play at 7:30 p.m. in HIB 100.
Awards will be presented on closing day, April 14, and the closing film, "War Witch," will screen at 7:30 p.m. in HIB 100. A closing-night gala will follow at Humanities Gateway 1030 on the UC Irvine campus.
ViFF'S INFLUENCE ON THE WAVE
Filmmaker Ham Tran, who lives in Santa Ana and travels to Vietnam and other parts of Asia frequently, says ViFF has played an important role in his career. His breakout film, "Journey From the Fall," was a ViFF hit in 2007 and also saw some commercial success in theaters and on DVD.
But, perhaps more importantly, Ham Tran has collaborated with other filmmakers whom he's met at ViFF, and together, they have created their own movement – the Viet film wave – and their own company, Wave Releasing.
The festival "brought together a sense of community, a filmmaking community," Ham Tran said. "ViFF is the thing that created Viet wave. That's the contribution it's had on the community – this unity among filmmakers. It pulled everyone to Orange County from all over the world."
The theme for this year's ViFF is "Flashback/Flashforward." Tickets are $10 for general screenings, $8 for seniors and students with ID, $50 for the opening film and gala ($20 for the film only), and $20 for the closing film and gala ($10 each). Tickets are on sale at Tu-Quynh Book Store, 714-531-4284; Bolsa Tickets, 714-418-2499; and VietFilm Fest.com.
They will also be on sale at the theaters and UC Irvine screenings. For more information, call 714-893-6145 or visit the website.

Southwest rolled out a fare sale this morning (Oct. 8) in which the price of its flights are based on distance. By early afternoon, rival carriers had begun to selectively match Southwest's fares on certain routes.
As for Southwest's sale, bargain hunters can snag round-trip fares as low as $98 on short routes, with longer flights costing incrementally more. Regardless of the length of the flight, however, deal-seekers will have to act fast to lock in those prices. Southwest's sale runs only through the end of the day Thursday (Oct. 10).
RELATED: Southwest Airlines begins enforcing 'no-show' policy
Southwest's distance-based sale prices — which also are offered on subsidiary AirTran — break down as follows:
- $49 each way (500 miles or less)
- $99 each way (501 to 1,000 miles)
- $129 each way (1,001 to 1,500 miles)
- $149 each way (More than 1,500 miles)
That pricing puts round-trip fares at less than $100 on dozens of Southwest and AirTran city pairs. Among the sub-$100 options: are Akron-Chicago; Atlanta-Orlando; Austin-New Orleans; Baltimore-Boston; Charlotte-Orlando; Chicago-Minneapolis; Denver-Salt Lake City; Houston-Dallas; Las Vegas-San Diego; Los Angeles-San Francisco; St. Louis-Atlanta and Wichita-Dallas.
Some rival carriers also dropped their fares to those levels on competing routes. Among the many routes where other airlines had matched Southwest's fares as of 12:30 p.m. ET on Monday: Baltimore-Boston ($98 round trip on JetBlue), Los Angeles-San Francisco ($98 on Delta and United), Denver-Salt Lake City ($98 on Frontier and Delta) and Atlanta-Orlando ($98 on Delta.)
And, on at least one route, Southwest's fares were being undercut by Spirit, which was offering $88 round trip fares for flights between Chicago and Minneapolis/St. Paul.
As for the fine print, the sale covers nonstop flights from Dec. 4 through Dec. 18 and from Jan. 7 through Feb. 12. The cheapest sale fares will disappear from flights as they begin to sell out. All Friday and Sunday flights are excluded.
Tickets must be purchased Thursday by 11:59 p.m. in the time zone of the originating city.

Compact crossovers are what's hot at the Frankfurt Auto Show this year, and Infiniti's new Q30 fits right in with the trend.
FRANKFURT — Compact crossovers are what's hot at the Frankfurt Auto Show this year, and Infiniti's new Q30 Concept car, shown here, fits right in with the trend.
Infiniti says it's not a coupe, not a hatchback, and not a crossover, but a fusion of all three. That's apparent from the name: After Infiniti scrubbed its alphabet of all but two letters (cars start with the letter "Q," SUVs and crossovers start with "QX") the Q30 moniker indicates the new crossover slots under the QX50 and likely isn't meant for serious off-roading. On the road, it'll be the first new Infiniti that's influenced by three-time Formula One champion and Infinti performance director Sebastian Vettel, who made a surprise appearance on the stage in Frankfurt.
The not-a-crossover is also the first offspring of the new Mercedes-Infiniti partnership, which explains why the Infiniti Q30 and Mercedes GLA share the same basic underpinnings. In our opinion, the Q30 is the clear winner in the looks department.
AT THE AUTO SHOW: More stories, photo galleries from Frankfurt
RELATED: Get more coverage of the Frankfurt Auto Show from Reviewed.com
According to Infiniti design director Alfonso Albaisa, the new Q30 is "slim, sleek and flowing," featuring a rear end that blurs the line between glass and tail lamps, and a split grille up front. Inside, shiny and matte copper finishes blend together in a dashboard that wouldn't be too far an evolutionary jump from Infiniti's current lineup. Asymmetry is an important design element, with clearly delineated passenger and driver areas.
Infiniti President Johan de Nysschen says it's "younger, aspirational and trend-setting." And although the brand concentrated on a compact car this year, de Nysschen promises that expansion will happen at the "bottom and top end" — perhaps with an S-Class competitor as a new flagship.
Despite the word "concept," the Q30 at the Infiniti stand in Frankfurt is not too far from reality. A production version is expected soon. U.S.-bound Q30s will likely be built alongside the GLA at a new plant in Aguascalientes, Mexico. The plant will open later this year.

Ray was born on March 17, 1926, to Eunice Allred and Irving Leonard in Price, Utah. He grew up with six sisters who adored and pampered him. He attended schools in Carbon County. He enlisted in the Army during World War II at the age of 17. He was always proud to have served his country.
Ray married Nadine Collier, together they had four children-Lana, Pat, Teri, and Jim. Later divorced. He married Donna Bolotas, later divorced. Together they had one child, Vicki. Ray always had a special place for Donna's children; he loved Donna's children as his own.

He is survived by his children; Lana (Kenn) Kofford, Pat (Charlotte) Leonard, Teri (Tom) McElprang, Jim (Debbi) Shenk, Vicki Spear, step children; Christine (Terry) Shaw, George Anne Cardwell, Stephanie (Dave) Karcich, Alexis (Randy) Gruniger, Debbie (Allen) Staker, Arty (Terri) Bolotas, and their families, 12 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren, sisters; Melba Shaw, June Bell, Jean (Myron) Dodge, Monty Basso, Bonnie (Ron) Murray and many nieces and nephews.

By LSIC BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Lawrence South Irrigation Company, Inc. stockholders and its present board of directors, including David Shorts president, Clark Christensen, vice president, Ty Wilson, treasurer, Earl Cullum and Rick Cullum, board members announce approval and authorization to once again use the two sprinkler-system regulating ponds as originally planned and designed.
On Sept. 26, LSIC Board members met with Utah state dam safety engineer, Bret Dixon at the pond sites to inspect and evaluate the re-work recently completed by NELCO Construction of Price under supervision of RB&G Engineering of Provo. Pond reconstruction became necessary following initial system use during the 2003 irrigation season when serious water seepage and erosion became evident.
These unsafe conditions prompted the Utah state water engineer to impose a moratorium curtailing use of the larger number two pond prior to the 2004 irrigation season. Since then, LSIC users have depended on the smaller noumber one pond to regulate their water usage during the past three irrigation seasons. This situation has not only impacted the system's ability to supply water but crop production levels as well.
During the 2005 irrigation season the state water engineer deemed a re-work of pond one necessary, again due to bank erosion. This work, including rip rap placement as well as re-sloping and road base placed on the dam crest, was completed just prior to the 2006 irrigation season; so use of pond one was available for the 2006 season.
Re-construction of pond two began mid August 2006 and included: reducing the embankment height resulting in a reduction of storage capacity; flattening the abutment slopes; blanketing the reservoir basin with a compacted clay liner; placing riprap slope protection on the upstream face of the embankment; sloping the dam crest toward the reservoir basin and placing a layer of road base on the crest; installing a drainage trench at the toe of the dam to collect seepage; and modifying the spillway inlet to accommodate the new high water level.
Per instruction of Utah dam safety, an initial filling and piezometer monitoring schedule has been outlined and implemented by RB&G Engineering and will be maintained through 2007. Following state approval of the monitoring schedule, test filling of pond two began on Oct. 4.
While the largest portion of the re-construction is complete there remain a number of issues that will be addressed during the next few weeks and throughout the 2007 irrigation season.
LSIC was incorporated in 2002 as a non-profit tax exempt entity with approximately 30 stockholders. A salinity project funded by the Bureau of Reclamation and Natural Resources and Conservation Service for construction of a sprinkler irrigation system, serving about 750 acres and utilizing 4,355 Huntington Cleveland Irrigation Company water shares, was initiated in 2002. Closeout requirements for completion of the salinity project were met and accepted by the BOR in October, 2005.
LSIC board of directors acknowledges the work accomplished and is pleased with the new pond designed by RB&G Engineering and the reconstruction completed by NELCO Construction. They feel both companies have done an excellent job on this project.
The board very much appreciates the patience, cooperation and especially the financial support of the majority of its stockholders.
The past four years have held many frustrations and challenges for the company and its members, including some very expensive litigation, which ultimately led to the re-work of these ponds.
The outcome, however, is a properly functioning set of regulating ponds as was originally called for in the sprinkler system design.

Day One of the federal government shutdown, 2013 edition, was business as usual, at least when it came to each side trying to win the message war and keep the pressure on the political opposition in the hope of getting them to blink first.
President Obama had a White House Rose Garden event to mark what also was the first day individuals were able to enroll in the Affordable Care Act's health-insurance exchanges. With real people who would benefit from Obamacare arrayed behind him in a photo op, he used the moment to blast Republicans.
"They've shut down the government over an ideological crusade to deny affordable health insurance to millions of Americans," Obama said. "In other words, they demanded ransom just for doing their job."
Congressional Republicans worked a two-pronged strategy. First, they portrayed themselves as eager to negotiate with Democrats but disappointed that the other party declined to talk with them.
Second, they proposed a plan suggested by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, to fund various federal agencies and services in a piecemeal way, like the National Park Service, Veterans Affairs and the District of Columbia, in a partial reversal of the shutdown.
They were so eager, in fact, that some House Republicans held a photo op where the other side of the table was empty (to symbolize that they lacked Democratic negotiating partners).
"I would say none of us want to be in a shutdown," House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said. "The way to resolve our differences is to sit down and talk. And as you can see, there's no one here on the other side of the table."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., didn't spare the sarcasm: "Now that's really so unique," he said of the GOP photo op. "Has it ever been done before? Only 5(000) or 6,000 times since I've been in Washington."
Democrats were equally dismissive of House GOP idea of a piecemeal reopening of the government, which was aimed, in part, at making it appear that Democrats were the reason national parks remained closed. Jay Carney, the president's press secretary, said the proposal pointed to an "utter lack of seriousness."
Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the Senate minority leader, reinforced his message that Democratic intransigence is to blame. "It's pretty clear to me, at least at this point, that neither the Senate Democratic majority nor the president of the United States have any interest whatsoever in entering into any discussions about how to resolve this impasse."
Shutdown Sidelight: The Battle Of The Mall
A group of World War II veterans found themselves in the shutdown news cycle Tuesday. The elderly men were confronted by barriers and police tape at the World War II Memorial, which was closed because of the shutdown.
But aided by Republican congressmen who included Louie Gohmert of Texas and Steve King of Iowa, the vets got in to the closed memorial, although it's not entirely clear how, according to The Washington Post.
Shutdown-related promotions sprung up around Washington. A local Italian restaurant offered free use of its private dining rooms to Obama, Reid and House Speaker John Boehner to negotiate over pasta.
Another local restaurant offered furloughed federal workers a free daily cup of coffee. Members of Congress, however, would be charged double the price.
It was proof that one person's shutdown is another's marketing opportunity.

Northampton slumped to their third consecutive defeat on Saturday after going down 16-12 to Leicester at Welford Road.
Northampton Saints slumped to their third consecutive defeat on Saturday after going down 16-12 to Leicester Tigers in a compelling but low-scoring East Midlands derby at Welford Road.
The result sees Leicester climb above their visitors and into the leading quartet in the Premiership standings.
Tigers centre Matt Smith scored the only try of the game early in the second half after the teams had swapped ends locked at 6-6.
It was a far cry from the high-action encounters between these teams that we've become used to over the years but there was no lack of tension as Saints pushed hard to grab the spoils in the dying minutes.
Tigers should have already been well clear but young fly-half George Ford had a nightmare at the kicking tee, missing five shots at goal.
Despite the array of attacking talent on display, the action was largely dominated by the two forward packs.
Leicester lock Graham Kitchener and Australian flanker Julian Salvi led the way as the hosts won the war of attrition, though Northampton were in contention right until the final whistle.
Two Ryan Lamb penalties in the first 15 minutes gave the Saints an early lead, but the Tigers were able to find a response. After a period of territorial dominance, they were able to level the scores courtesy of a couple of three-pointers from Ford.
Vereniki Goneva laid the platform for the game's only try, which came just minutes after the restart. The Fijian steamed through a gap in the Northampton defence and looked destined for the try-line, but he did even better to find the supporting Smith, who streamed away to give the hosts a lead they wouldn't relinquish.
Ford's conversion made it 13-6, but Northampton quickly cut the deficit back courtesy of a third Lamb penalty.
Neither side were able to take the game by the scruff of the neck in the minutes that followed, but Leicester appeared content to sit on their lead.
They put seven points back between themselves and the Saints when Ford added a third penalty and, though Lamb's three-pointer five minutes from the end ensured a tense finish, the Tigers were able to hold on for the win.

Try: Smith
Con: Ford

Comments: Pretty great jig. Paint chips off a little easier than some of the other jigs I have fished but the fish seem to like the color of the Green Pumpkin Craw skirt.
From: Spencer: San Diego, CA 3/10/15
Comments: This is such a great jig I can't talk say enough about it. I had used the other SK Football Jig and the hook was awful. I am so glad that Strike King listened to the anglers and bulked the hook up because these things are awesome. Caught a ton of largemouth on these things. Great job Strike King 5/5
From: Connor: Galatin, TN 12/13/14
Comments: This Jig is absolutely awesome. Strike King has listened to the anglers, and hit a home run. You can drag this across a flat and turn around and flip it to heavy cover and not worry about bending the hook out. Works great for swimming, dragging, and flipping. Top notch.
From: Ben: Raleigh, NC
Comments: This jig is the best jig ever the first time I got it I caught two nice bass. The paint on it chips kind of easy but it's still a nice lure

"Really cute and soft. The inset detailing is a nice touch and as always they arrived very quickly! My daughter loves these boots! She said they're very comfy. We're saving them for school and haven't worn them much so I don't know how they will hold up but so far we're very pleased!"

"Bought these boots as a Christmas present for my 5 year old god daughter. They are very cute and stylish! The brown is a little dark so you can't really see the leopard print, but it's a nice detail."

My girls and I experimented by making our own black bean brownies using the recipe at http://blackbeanbrownies.com/.
Here are the results…
Per the recipe we pureed a can of rinsed beans and a little bit of water in the blender, then added it to the brownie mix. It looked and tasted just like regular brownie batter.
The brownies came out moist and thick. There was no bean flavor, just a rich, chocolaty brownie flavor.
My five-year-old said "Two thumbs up."
My seven year old said "Awesome!"
My husband said "If you didn't tell me there were beans in here, I wouldn't have guessed it." This, I think, means he liked them.
I thought they were delicious. They were also extremely filling. If portion control is something that you struggle with when it comes to brownies, you will definitely find these appealing.

Phoenix (Wednesday, March 20, 2013) - Attorney General Tom Horne today announced the indictment of Deborah Lynn Santa Cruz , 53, of Sedona for Fraudulent Schemes and Artifices, Theft, Misuse of Public Monies and Forgery. Santa Cruz was the Executive Secretary to the Superintendent of the Glendale Elementary School District (GESD) for several years up to her retirement in June 2008.
The indictment alleges that from January 1, 2004 through May 31, 2008, Santa Cruz diverted GESD funds to an unauthorized personal bank account that she opened. The indictment charges Santa Cruz for the Theft of $14,680 in public school funds. Additionally Santa Cruz is charged with four counts of Misuse of Public Monies, one relates to the theft, two relate to the use of GESD funds for unauthorized purposes and the fourth relates to the purchase of 715 books purchased with GESD funds, but never received by the District.
Four additional charges for Forgery arise from false entries allegedly made by Santa Cruz in various logs and purchasing documents related to some of her unauthorized purchases. Additional details of the case can be obtained from the Auditor General's report that is being released to the Legislature and on their website today.
"This is a very serious matter," Horne said. "It is very disturbing to think that taxpayer dollars intended for the educational needs of young students may have been misused, and my office will vigorously prosecute this matter."
These charges are merely allegations, and defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

"I'm 7 months pregnant and I've been searching comfortable shoes, after reading the reviews I was sooo happy and excited to order these. Once again a big disappointment. These run small I ordered a size up and they bother my pinky toe so much. It rubs against it, making them uncomfortable to wear with or without socks. So I'm guessing its maybe my swollen feet and I'm leaving them on the side until I have my baby and my feet go back to normal."

Entrepreneurs are among the most celebrated people in our culture. Celebrity entrepreneurs such as Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, often grace the covers of prominent publications. These company founders and innovators fuel economic growth and give the nation its competitive edge.
However, very little is known today about the backgrounds, life histories, motivations and beliefs of these entrepreneurs. So myths and stereotypes prevail. The commonly held belief is that entrepreneurs are young, lightly-educated, childless unmarried workaholics. They are perceived to come from rich families and graduate from elite colleges.
But is this true?
This research answers some of these questions. This is based on a survey of 549 company founders in 12 high-growth industries.
It finds that most founders came from middle-class or upper-lower-class backgrounds, are well-educated and married with children. The strongest motivation for starting a company was to "build wealth". Other popular motivators included capitalizing on a business idea; the appeal of a startup culture; a desire to own a company; and a lack of interest in working for someone else.

Depending on which trip you're on while in Croatia, you may find yourself travelling by:

Croatia travel FAQs
Tipping isn't mandatory in Croatia, although feel free to round up the bill or leave spare change for wait staff. Tip more if the service has been particularly good. Some restaurants and cafes will already include a 10-15% margin in the bill, to account for taxes and tips. In this case, generally no further tip is required.
Travellers will be able to access the internet at internet cafes and hotels in Croatia's large cities and tourist-orientated towns. Expect less internet accessibility in rural areas.
Mobile phone coverage is generally very good in Croatia's large cities and urban areas. Islands and remote areas may have less reliable service. Ensure global roaming is activated with your service provider before arrival.
Western-style, flushable toilets are the norm in Croatia's cities and urban centres.
Cup of coffee in a cafe = 5-15 HRK
Beer in a pub = 20 HRK
Short bus ride = 20 HRK
Simple, budget meal = 50-80 HRK
Tap water is considered safe to drink in Croatia; however, due to the different mineral content, some people may get stomach upsets from the drinking water if they aren't used to it. A better option is finding filtered water rather than relying on bottled water.
Large hotels, restaurants and tourist sites will most likely accept credit cards. Always carry enough cash for smaller purchases and when shopping at vendors like market stalls and smaller cafes and hotels, which may not have credit card facilities.
ATMs are readily available throughout Croatia. Cities and large towns will have more ATM access than small villages or rural areas, so prepare accordingly if travelling out of urban areas.
Absolutely. All passengers travelling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

Responsible Travel
Intrepid is committed to travelling in a way that is respectful of local people, their culture, local economies and the environment. It's important to remember that what may be acceptable behaviour, dress and language in your own country, may not be appropriate in another. Please keep this in mind while travelling.
Top responsible travel tips for Croatia
- Be considerate of Croatia's customs, traditions, religion and culture.
- For environmental reasons, try to avoid buying bottled water. Instead, fill a reusable water bottle or canteen with filtered water.
- Always dispose of litter thoughtfully, including cigarette butts.
- When bargaining at markets, stay calm, be reasonable and keep a smile on your face. It's meant to be fun!
- Learn some local language and don't be afraid to use it - simple greetings will help break the ice.
- Shop for locally made products. Supporting local artisans helps keep traditional crafts alive.
- Please ask and receive permission before taking photos of people, including children.
- When on community visits or homestays, refrain from giving gifts or money to locals.

Virgin Blue to Build New Maintenance Base in Sydney24/02/2011
Virgin Blue Group of Airlines today announced it will build its first new wide-body hangar and associated infrastructure at Sydney Airport as part of a new engineering maintenance base to support its growing operations.
Virgin Blue Group of Airlines Chief Executive Officer John Borghetti said planning was well underway and the current hangar design would accommodate up to four narrow-body aircraft, or two narrow-body aircraft and one wide-body aircraft.
"This new strategic asset will provide us with line and base maintenance capability for wide-body and narrow-body aircraft at our largest and busiest airport, supporting our expanding fleet operations," Mr Borghetti said.
"Having a dedicated maintenance base here in Sydney, complementing those we already have in Brisbane and Melbourne, will create significant benefits to our business in terms of optimising scheduling and network operations and also generating potential revenue opportunities by offering use of the facility to partner airlines."
Virgin Blue welcomes the support role provided by the NSW Government in establishing the new engineering maintenance facility in Sydney.
The development of the hangar is consistent with the Sydney Airport Master Plan and will be subject to the Australian Government's usual airport planning approvals process, which includes a public consultation period.Construction is expected to be complete by late 2012.
The announcement of the new maintenance facility today follows Virgin Blue's 2008 decision to establish a Cabin Crew and Flight Crew base for V Australia and Virgin Blue in Sydney. Virgin Blue and V Australia now have more than 900 Cabin Crew and 381 Flight Crew based in Sydney.
In the same year, Virgin Blue also opened a B777-300ER simulator at Silverwater in Sydney for training V Australia pilots.
Virgin Blue currently operates more than 95 flights through Sydney daily and 15 to 20 aircraft overnight in Sydney every night.
For further information contact: Virgin Blue 24-hour media enquiries: 1800 142 467

Daily Payment
Unattended Parking Lots: Parking fee range from $4 to $7 for payments made in advance via PayByPhone. Payment must be processed within thirty minutes of parking your vehicle. Cash is no longer accepted in advance. Payment is license plate-based, which means space numbers are no longer valid. PayByPhone can be used from any cell or landline phone. You will need your license plate number, a PayByphone location number (which is displayed in the parking lot), and a credit or debit card.
To pay for parking daily via PayByPhone, click here to register.
For technical assistance, contact PayByphone Support at 1-866-783-7787, ext. 300.
Note: Attleboro and Mansfield Stations use Parkmobile for parking payment processing. See individual station pages for station-specific information.
Garage and Attended Facilities: Parking fees in garages and attended facilities depend on duration. Most facilities are on a fourteen-hour fee structure for a low flat rate that ranges from $4 to $7. Additional fees are applied to vehicles that overstay the fourteen-hour timeframe. All garages and most attended facilities accept cash or credit/debit as forms of payment. Always take your ticket to the "pay on foot" equipment in the station lobby to prepay before you exit the garage. To avoid long lines during the afternoon rush hour, prepay your ticket in the morning. Please see individual station pages for specific information about your frequently used facility.
