GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My son is an advanced learner, They recognized this right aways and adjusted his schedule to fit him with teachers that would fit his needs with out asking. The staff also keeps me informed with phone calls and not just when i request it. The only way I could see improvement is with perhaps more activities . At that same rate I notice parent involvement tends to decrease with upper grades.
Arrowview has become a school that parents fight to get their students into. I am very proud of this school and all the positive changes they have made and continue to make. Why to go Arrowview MS. I am proud to have you in our neighborhood.
as a tutor, when i walked in to the school and got to meet the staff, i noticed right away most of them cared for their students, dont be fooled by the location. i tutored here for 2 yrs back in 2009-2011
Don't be fooled of the location. This school has the best dedicated staff. Wonderful teachers who are passionate and provide the students with the tools they need. Security is awesome!!!! That's a priority at this school. I leave my daughter Mon-Friday, and I feel safe leaving her there and I know that she is surrounded by the best staff and given a great education. Not alone, Arrrowview has an outstanding "Girls Basketball Team"
This school has made a huge turn-a-round since I started working here over a half a decade ago. Teachers and staff are very dedicated to student learning and test scores are steadily improving with each year that goes by. Students have fun learning and teachers enjoy making a difference in their lives.
My child attends this school and I believe it faboulous!!!!!!!!!
This is a good school i used to attend and it is not to rough
Rough school in a rough area. Our daughter attends only because we were unable to get her in anywhere else

Leif Garrett Facing Heroin Possession Charge
RTTNews: Former teen idol Leif Garrett was charged with heroin possession on Monday. The charges were issued following a search by Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies in a subway station just before noon.
According to Steve Whitmore, a spokesperson for the sheriff, Garrett was found to be exhibiting "pronounced symptoms" of drug addiction and was visibly "sweating and shaking profusely."
The police search led to the discovery of a stash of black tar heroin in Garrett's shoe. He was released on bail on Wednesday and is due back in court on February 24 to face charges.
The 1970s child actor and pop star, whose disco-era hits include "I Was Made for Dancing," has battled drug dependency for years. He was arrested for possession of heroin in 2006 and sentenced to 90 days in jail after opting out of drug treatment.
He was also arrested in 1999 for an alleged attempt to purchase drugs from undercover officers, and was sued in 1979 after a car crash left his best friend a paraplegic. Garrett, who was driving, was under the influence of drugs at the time of the crash.

I love receiving email from my readers, and they often write in with great coupon tips of their own! Here's a sampling:
Dear Jill, You may have mentioned this already, but couponers can use the back of scrap paper instead of using a brand new sheet for coupon printing. They just have to make sure they're not printing on paper with personal or confidential information on the other side. The printer should show how to place the paper correctly in order to print on the blank side. This way, you save money and trees! - P.D.
Dear P.D., This is a great tip! I keep a box next to my printer that holds junk paper from around the house. If you have kids in school, you know that schools are a never-ending source of notes, newsletters and announcements. Flip them over and print on the back!
Dear Jill, It's so important to print and carry the coupon policies of your stores with you. Most major stores and pharmacies post guidelines on their websites. It only takes a minute to print, and then you have the policy on hand in case you need it at checkout. When my supermarket has a buy one, get one free sale, you don't have to buy two items. If you buy one, it's half the price on the sign. I do this sometimes when I only have one coupon for an item and don't want to buy the second and spend more than I have to. Sometimes I will get a cashier who says I have to buy two to get the deal, and I just pull out the policy from my coupon wallet and show it to them. It is easy and fast to be prepared! - Bea D.
Dear Bea, I agree. If you carry your coupons in a coupon wallet, it's easy to print each policy, fold it up and keep it in the corresponding store's pocket. Then, in the event that you need the policy, it's right there. You should also periodically check the store's website in case it makes a policy change so you always have the newest version on hand.
Dear Jill, If you are new to couponing, it helps to ask a lot of questions. I spend a lot of time reading your coupon blog. You have the patience of Job with all of the questions new couponers ask! I have never seen a site as friendly for beginners as yours. I don't think you talk about your blog enough! - Rosie L.
Dear Rosie, I appreciate all the kind words about my blog, jillcataldo.com. When I started writing it in 2008, I wanted to create the kind of website I wished for when I first started couponing. These days, there are several sites for experienced couponers, but there aren't so many for beginners.
My blog is a trove of information for anyone learning to coupon. I answer questions from my readers, and I post each week's best coupon deals in an easy-to-understand step-by-step format. I also link to spam-free sources for printable and electronic coupons, tools to match coupons to sales and articles related to couponing trends or topics in the news. It's a great destination for anyone seeking more coupon knowledge!

On the 18th June we published research that, for the first time, confirmed a link between a home's energy efficiency and its sale price in the UK. This means that in addition to lowering energy bills, improvements such as wall insulation, double glazing or efficient boilers can also help to achieve a higher resale value compared to similar properties which are less efficient.
Compared to dwellings rated Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) G, dwellings rated EPC F and E sold for approximately 6% more, dwellings rated D sold for 8% more and dwellings rated EPC band C for 10% and A/ B sold for 14% more than the worst-rated dwellings. When investigating the relationship between dwelling price appreciation and EPC rating, the evidence is less clear-cut but remains generally supportive of a positive association.
This is the first large-scale empirical study of the effect of energy labelling on property residential property prices in England. Our results are based on transactions involving more than 300,000 dwellings which sold at least twice, taking into account sale prices, dwelling attributes, detailed information on EPC ratings and a host of socio-economic area variables.
While we do not claim that an econometric study such as this one, can pinpoint the exact monetary value-added of energy efficiency in each case, we have endeavoured to be as meticulous as possible when building our statistical model. A crucial factor for the success of this study was the inclusion of the main determinants of house price. For example, modern properties might sell at a higher price regardless of their level of energy efficiency. There are certain property attributes that are important determinants of price: size, location and type of dwelling being the more obvious ones. Energy efficiency, although growing in importance, is currently only a secondary factor in most purchasing decisions.
Given that there is a negative relationship between a home's age and EPC performance, we ensure that the complex interaction of age, size and type (detached, terraced etc.) on dwelling prices are carefully addressed by not only including these as explanatory variables but by measuring price on a square metre basis rather than the total price of a property.
Following the release of this study, a number of critical comments have doubted the existence of an energy efficiency price premium and claimed that homebuyers often do not even ask for the EPC information and that the EPC was not sufficiently accurate as it is essentially an estimate based on the assessor's inspection visit rather than the result of an in-depth energy audit of the entire property.
Notwithstanding these critical points, there appears to be a consensus that the EPC is the main tool for providing information on the level of energy efficiency to prospective buyers. Furthermore, prospective buyers can usually obtain information on the type of heating system, loft and cavity wall insulation from the estate agents and/or sellers. The fact that EPCs give an indication of the energy efficiency grade of a property rather than show precisely what savings can be expected should not detract from the potential for house price savings.
A fair price for these energy-saving features will be achieved in most cases, i.e. energy savings are generally capitalised into house prices, even if some of the buyers are not well informed or do not even care about these features.
The regional variation in price premiums is another interesting point. The study attempted to control for as many variables as possible that explain difference in property prices. Some regions, such as the South East, can be influenced by other factors that have not been controlled for. A likely reason is that property prices are heavily influenced by location to commuter links, where the price impact of energy efficiency is masked by this effect. It does not imply there is no impact of energy efficiency, only that the model has not detected it. Hence, the price premiums are likely to vary according to factors such as climate and temperature, as well as householders' income levels and the underlying market conditions.
Separate estimation of the house price effect of EPC ratings for each region reveals that the percentage premium commanded by properties with above-average EPC ratings is higher in regions where house price levels are low and vice versa. It is likely that this is due to the fact that broadly similar energy savings across regions had quite different relative effects on house prices.
By contrast, sale price premiums in the North East and North West of England may seem surprisingly high. However, there are a number of factors at play that may explain these figures. Firstly, upgrading to double-glazing, renewing the heating system, adding an extension or converting a loft invariably involve improving the energy efficiency of the dwelling. It was not possible in this work to completely separate out the value added by home improvements in general from energy efficiency improvements in particular. We intend to do this in follow-up work.
In summary, we find some support for an existing link between EPC ratings and property prices but this does not mean that this link is perfect in all regional markets. To be sure, every study, no matter how thorough and large-scale, has its limitations which we hope to have pointed out. Nor does our study support the claim that current energy efficiency levels are already at their optimum and that there is no need for further private and government initiatives aiming to increase the general energy efficiency levels of the British housing stock.
As a company director for New Move online estate agents the EPC is crucial to encourage house builders to improve the quality and efficiency of all new builds and extensions. With rising energy bills this is a must. So how does this effect/benefit estate agents, buyers and sellers. If you were to have identical houses marketed at the same price and on was more efficient than the other, the buyer would purchase the more energy efficient property. But do purchaser really look at the EPC report? The majority don't.
With the changes in the rental market from 2018 it will be illegal to let a property which has an EPC rating below E, so where does that leave historic listed building, can they never be rented out without being detrimental to the integrity of the original building. If this is the case will there come a time when house seller will no longer be allowed to sell their property that does not meet a minimum energy efficiency?
We welcome the discussion that this report has generated and felt it would be useful clarification to respond to some of the comments over the past few weeks in a separate blog which can be found on the link below.
Forgive me that I cannot remember the source but there was some research on the secondary levers on hose purchases and they included broadband speed, mobile signal and I would suggest EPC/Bills going forward.
This is an important initial step in trying to establish whether making a house more energy efficient can increase its value. I for one should greatly appreciate hearing from estate agents whether this has been their empirical experience.
So you find two houses that you like, one has significantly lower bills and if you are off the gas grid has no oil dependency as it uses a heat pump; the other is on oil and poorly insulated. In any market there is surely a premium to be claimed!
Hi Dan,
I totally agree that there is a premium to the more energy efficient house as you describe it.
Consider this; a home that has had all the extra work to make it more energy efficient is likely to have been maintained and decorated to a more presentable standard – the owners are potentially more house proud or have the resources to invest in their home. The question that we are asking is how much of the valuation premium comes from the EPC rating and how much comes from the way the home is presented for sale?
Homes where EPC ratings have improved (the study did a comparison over two sale events) suggest that it is the EPC rating that has caused all the change in value – we are simply suggesting that there might be more to it.
Also you are assuming that home buyers are rational – people fall in love with homes for a myriad of reasons and the lower energy bills might be one (depending on the type of person), so are things as insignificant as the colour of the front door, how tidy it is inside, etc. Just how important is the EPC rating in all this – we think possibly not as important as Dr Franz is making it out to be, that's all.
This is a fair comment. However, we do acknowledge both in the report and the blog that it was not possible to include all the objective and subjective factors that may have had an impact on the transaction price of a property such as quality and appeal of the facade, interior layout, style and level of decoration etc. Nevertheless, we think that our results are still valid by and large despite this important limitation. What makes us confident about our results is the fact that we can get a pretty good idea about the magnitude of all these unobserved factors taken together by comparing the 'hypothetical' price that comes out of our statistical model to the actual price that was recorded by the Land Registry. Hence, if more energy-efficient homes were indeed generally better looked after and/or had several other features not captured by our model e.g. better kitchens or better bathrooms, this should produce a larger model error for homes with better EPC ratings but we did not detect such a problem.
Thank you for your comment. It would indeed be very surprising if buyers did not take these important energy-related features into account when making an offer on a property. That said, we would still maintain our caveat that it is impossible to separate out the 'pure' value of energy efficiency. For example, a high-spec triple-glazed window may also have other desirable features such as additional security features, better looks etc. Having a programmable digital thermostat may also help to create a positive impression of a property because it may signal that the property is maintained up to the latest standard. But even if we had at our disposal all these minute details for each property in our large database (which we don't), it would still be a matter of debate whether these indirect effects should also be included in the energy efficiency premium.
It is fascinating to read Ron Kennor's comments.
While the statistical analysis might seem conclusive, no statistician can or should ever ignore qualitative information which will frame the numbers correctly; estate agents are refuting these findings and no one will be closer to the actual situation than they are.
Perhaps the author to this article could suggest other plausible reasons for the results that he has found (other that EPC rating directly resulting in house price increases) – we have suggested one which immediately troubled us; is there more to this?
We have written a fuller article on our thoughts which might help those interested or need more information: http://www.beenergysmart.co.uk/910/the-link-between-energy-efficiency-and-higher-property-values/
Many thanks for your comment and the full article posted on your website which I have read with great interest. Whilst we cannot rule out that the 'house-proud' factor plays a role in the premiums that we found, it is very difficult to test this hypothesis. A step in this direction would be to add a maintenance rating to our set of price determinants but even then it will difficult to pinpoint the exact contribution of energy-related features to the price of a property. On the other hand, it seems unlikely that the significant premiums that we found for homes with good EPCs are solely due to better maintenance. After all, there are many properties that are well looked after but do not score very highly on the EPC, for example period properties that would require substantial refurbishment in order to achieve a high EPC rating.
There are lies, damn lies , and statistics.
I am both an energy assessor (DEA) and a licenced estate agent and in our market I can categorically state that purchasers have absolutely no interest in the EPC rating and it has no effect on the value.
The fact that it is valid for 10 years and is being re-used merely as a necessary document for house sale, irrespective of its content which doesn't mention any recent improvements, further damages its credibility. This is government spin at its finest.
I am primarily an academic researcher so am not in a position to comment on the use (or misuse) of EPCs in practice but find it hard to believe that buyers should have absolutely no interest in the energy bills they are facing. As energy costs can be almost as high as their mortgage payments in an environment of low interest rates and rising energy prices, they would ignore these considerable monthly outgoings at their peril. Granted, the relationship between the EPC and actual energy savings is a complicated one and a good EPC rating may be a relatively low priority for the average buyer but this does not mean that there is no relationship at all. Also, the EPC is probably just one among several clues that buyers can use to get an idea of the level of energy efficiency of a property. And even if some buyers lack the know-how or simply do not care at all about these features, they are likely to be outbid by those who have done their due diligence.
The data is nowhere near as conclusive as you seem to declare.
The document doesn't include the South East or East Anglia for a start.
The data is being used to adbance the reasons or enhance Green Deal but the data was taken up to Mrach 2013.
As you statelater in the NE & NW the figures for improvement and energy efficiency have not been seperated out so have no merit in the initial statement and conclusions.
so NE7 NW can be excluded. You have not included figures (according to DECC) for the South East and East Anglia. So actually how accurate i=s the conclusion?
Add to this the large number of properties in negative equity as published last week and the whole research is flawed.
It is worth noting that very few people would enteratin the cost of energy efficiency if they were looking to move in the short term.
In fact, our study covers all regions of England, including the South East and East. The reason that these two regions are not displayed in the DECC map is simply that their results are not statistically significant which is why they were coloured grey in the map and the values are not reported as this would be misleading. However, our results are significant for England as a whole and for most regions so we would maintain that our conclusions are justified.
Is there a correlation between the EPC rating and the level of maintenance and/or standard of decoration in a home?
While it would be impossible for this study to determine this retrospectively, it doesn't seem that far fetched or highly probably. A home owner that cares enough to ensure that his home is well presented before a sale is more likely to have investigated and carried out energy saving improvements. The more 'house proud' you are the more likely you are to do these things.
Has this study simply found a link between the a well presented home (by measuring a function of this; the higher EPC rating) and the home achieving a higher sales price – a fact long know to estate agents and savvy home owners, I believe?
Oh dear – research trying to find a nuance, a marginal improvement in house price in order to spin it as a benefit of having a higher grade of EPC; when in fact any EPC upgrade, when set against the order of magnitude of one house-retrofit a minute until 2050 to acheive an 80% reduction in CO2 emissions (based on 1990 figures), is but a miniscule improvement and reduction in CO2; and worse still, deflects attention and effort from what is REALLY required to tackle this problem. We are fiddling while Rome burns!
Commercial Energy Assessor
It is clear that the rate of energy efficiency upgrades in the UK housing stock needs to rise dramatically if we are to meet the ambitious 2050 emission targets. That said, pricing is vital for achieving these outcomes and there would be very little hope of achieving any significant reductions at all if energy efficiency were of no value to house buyers. An estimated 14% price difference between the lowest and highest rated properties is not trivial and neither are the several tonnes of saved greenhouse gas emissions that a highly energy-efficient property can save in every year of its operation.
I think your headline and 1st paragra[h over sells the link you have found.
Thank you for your comment. The empirical evidence and the various robustness checks that we have conducted lead us to believe that there is indeed a significant link between energy efficiency and house price so I do not think that the headline and text are overstating what we have found. Of course, there are a number of important limitations and qualifications and we would be remiss if we did not point these out. However, we have no reason to believe that any of them are so fundamental that they would render our findings invalid.

One of OklahomaÆs most respected leaders and a prominent figure in the United States Senate will be remembered during Oklahoma Baptist UniversityÆs FoundersÆ Day program on Feb. 7, at 10 a.m., in the universityÆs Raley Chapel.
Former Oklahoma Governor and U.S. Senator Robert S. Kerr was an OBU alumnus and benefactor of the university. In his FoundersÆ Day address, OBU President Mark Brister will highlight the life of Kerr, who attended OBUÆs first session in 1911-12.
Kerr, founder of Kerr-McGee Oil Company, became OklahomaÆs first native-born governor in 1943. He also was elected president of the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma that year.
In 1948, he was elected a U.S. Senator and re-elected in 1954 and 1960. In the early 1960s, he was frequently referred to as ōKing of the Senate.ö
Kerr was a close friend of OBU President John W. Raley. In 1956, he gave $250,000 toward the construction of OBUÆs Mrs. W.S. Kerr Memorial Dormitory. In todayÆs economy that would equal approximately $1,850,000.
FoundersÆ Day commemorates the anniversary of OBUÆs incorporation in February 1910.

I song a wrote last year and just thought I'd share it on my blog.
New song!!
The new song my best friend, Rosie and I just made. It's a little influenced by swing. Also a little bit of a joke…
(Source: moonflower-nightpower)
Unfortunately I've been very inactive on my blog as I'm kind of in Sydney on my gap year… Trying to find a job and a place to live. So life's pretty hard right now :(
(Source: moonflower-nightpower)
Life is so fragile. We sometimes forget that but that's why we must love. Just love and always search for happiness even when the darkness takes over. We can escape darkness by finding the light within ourselves. And as hard as it may be at times, we must find the light within others too. There is always light and there is always love. Life gives that to us. And we are so blessed to have that choice and have the ability to find fulfilment. I thank the earths forces for everything around me and the life I am so lucky to live.
Rest in peace Granny. Thank you for all your patience and generosity. I know you are in a better place now.

Ick! Christina Milian was well within her rights to call the health department after she dined at a restaurant in LA last week. The singer ordered a delicious Kobe beef salad at a Mexicali eatery in Studio City, only it wasn't as delicious as she had hoped. There was an unexpected, um, crouton of sorts in the form of a chewed gum. How gross!
TMZ reports that the petite singer/actress was halfway through her meal when she noticed a chewy substance in her mouth, something not befitting a salad. She spit out the wad of gum, which was now doubly chewed and promptly hit the ladies room to vomit. As a result, the establishment comped her meal.
That wasn't enough for Milian. Instead, she filed a complaint with the Department of Health in Los Angeles. A DOH rep confirmed the filing.
Milian told TMZ that she is so freaked out about the incident and is concerned for her health. "The most important thing to me is to make sure my health is okay. Ever since the incident I have not eaten out," she said. While eating in public always has its hazards, we can't say we blame Milian for being totally squeamish and freaked out by finding ALREADY BEEN CHEWED GUM in her salad! Ick times 10.

Dear friend, I am very excited to share a special never before seen video with you about my radical transformational journeys to India that you have heard about. The invitation I am about to share with you is not for everyone. But if it is for you. You will know without a shadow of a doubt. There will be an undeniable calling in your heart. You will be deeply moved. Your soul will light up. And every cell in your body will resonate. Trust it.
My earliest memories, as a 5 year old child was that of serving humanity. That fire has only burned more intensely. My vision is to serve humanity on a global level. To reach the masses of the new generation, and inspire them to live their heart's calling. With all of the world events that are going on, I feel more than ever that it is an urgent call to live and love fully-NOW. It is time to live who we REALLY are.
Many years ago, I found myself travelling through India on a profoundly transformational journey. My life was never the same after that.
Years later, after becoming a renowned Life Coach having the privilege of transforming the lives of everyone ranging from: Billionaires, celebrities, mothers, doctors, plumbers, sales people and more. I asked myself the question:
"What experience/process could I create that was beyond anything that was currently existing in the world of self-improvement or transformation?"
The result was the journey that I am about to share with you now.
Over the last 5 years, I have taken 15 amazing people from all over the world through this radical and life altering journey.
I call it The Liberation Experience: The India Intensive.
What is it?
It is a one of a kind, 14 day, 24/7, ONE ON ONE, experiential, immersion process. It is deep dive into the heart of existence itself. A wild freefall, where you will be coached, stretched, challenged and invited beyond all your limitations and fears. I create and customize a process that will profoundly, alter the very foundation of your life, and who you have known yourself to be.
The result: FREEDOM.
The Liberation experience is designed to strip away the limiting layers of your conditioning and identity and set you free from the past. It is designed to reveal to you your original face- Who you were prior to this form. As well as supporting you in living your life's true purpose powerfully in the world.
The Process.- I will take you to India. You will spend 14 days, ONE ON ONE with me. At the airport I will take away your passport, and you will carry no money the entire trip. The only thing that you will have is one change of clothes, a journal, and a backpack. This is how the journey begins.
You will be thrown into the depths of the unknown. All the habitual things and patterns that you may have identified as yourself will be taken from you, so that you can see beyond who you have thought yourself to be.
You will face yourself, to find your SELF- The real YOU that has always been there all along.
I will take you to the poorest slums in the world. You will bathe in the Ganges river. You will ride on trains. You will meet real enlightened yogi's. You will visit sacred temples, caves and mountains. All the while being challenged and put into the situations that may have collapsed the openness of your heart, and robbed you of freedom up until now.
Yet I will stretch you to open beyond your previous limitations. You will be taken to your edge and invited to see who the "you" is that lies beyond it all. Every step of the way, I will be guiding, coaching, facilitating and customizing processes that strip away any layers which might inhibit the full expression of your true Essence and power. You will see, feel, and live the inherent freedom that has always been your nature. It will be obvious. You will embody and live it freely.
This is my promise.
The Liberation Experience is unlike anything I offer.
It is unlike anything in the world.
It is my finest offering.
It is a once in a lifetime opportunity if you feel called to live as big as Life is seeking to express through you.
If you feel a strong calling, and know that you are ready, the next step is to APPLY.
Then, I will personally interview you.
Since I only offer this journey 3 times each year (April, Oct, Dec). I cannot guarantee that everyone who wishes to will be able to do this, but after the interview it will be clear.
Here are the requirements to apply for this journey:
1. You must be in relatively good health.
2. You must feel a strong and undeniable calling for this journey.
3. Be willing to stretch and immerse yourself 100%. Every moment of your journey during this time is part of the process.
4. A sincere willingness to share all of yourself with total honesty, and vulnerability.
5. A valid passport and ability to travel without restriction.
6. A sincere intention to make a difference on the planet.
7. Finances should not be a burden.
8. You must know that you are ready.
If you meet these requirements and feel ready, then apply by sending me an email. (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Your journey is destined. If you are meant to go you will know. Simple as that.
Kute Blackson
P.S. Feel free to send this email and link to the video to anyone you feel it would be right for.

Baseball Nerd, it's a blog authored by Keith Olbermann for MLB.com. Have you ever heard Keith talk about baseball? He's a historian of the sport and his encyclopedic knowledge of baseball is frightening.
On Saturday, we saw the first start of 19-year-old Bryce Harper for the Washington Nationals. Keith put this into perspective by drawing similarities to another 19-year-old phenom, Mickey Mantle. Nobody is putting them in the same category just yet but Keith unearthed a fascinating link. Bryce's first start came against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Similarly, Mantle's first game came against the Dodgers but in 1951 they were still located in Brooklyn. And guess who was on hand to call each of these games. Vincent Edward Scully.
What a spectacular career Vin Scully has accomplished. Who would have thought 23-year-old Scully would announce Dodgers games in 2012? You should check out Keith's full blog post as well as the update.

The question rolling around in your mind as well as everyone's else is simple: can Vancouver win their series with Los Angeles? Of course they can. But will they? Not a chance.
For one thing, there's the odds and the unlikelihood of it. You've seen the stats by now a bunch of times. A hat trick of times, spread out by 35 years each, it has happened that a team has come from 0-3 to win a series. It probably just seems more likely than it is because it last happened in 2010, Philly versus Boston. That series, you recall, saw a smug Bruins team let the Flyers back in it, and once they had a bite, they never quit.
Their fortunes after, of course, were to go to the Finals and lose. But remember, they pulled their upset in round two, not round one. Exhaustion had not yet set in, and the momentum carried them from the second round onwards. So even if Vancouver manages to pull this off, it's not going to mean much, because by the time another series and another drags on, they'll be pretty beat. But wait, we're ahead here. I've just said there's no way they're getting out of this round.
In another sport, Boston wasn't supposed to come back against the Yankees either, and they did, in the playoffs of 2004. So it can happen. Will it?
From the Vancouver side, no. They haven't proven themselves in any area of the game in their three contests against the Kings. The power play, in particular, has been a disaster. They've had the fourth-most chances with the extra man thus far of all 16 post-season teams, and they've scored zero goals. None.
And penalties have been their bug-bear the other direction. They have given up 20 chances, second only to Phoenix's 21, and they've been scored on three times. Granted, that percentage doesn't rank terribly high, but if the stats catch up with them, they're in trouble. Most NHL teams are happy to kill off 80 percent of their penalties. In the playoffs, this might extend a couple of percentages. Vancouver, though, is just at the halfway mark in terms of PK rankings thus far in the post-season in terms of rankings amongst the teams.
Contrast this to the last time the two teams met in the playoffs. It was 2010, and the Canucks were horrible on their PK, allowing the Kings a stunning 38.5% effectiveness. The trouble was, that was all LA could do, and they lost the series eventually in six games. The scoring pace was furious, with the Canucks pouring in six goals in game four and then seven goals in game five to take a 3-2 series lead. The first two contests had both gone to OT, the teams splitting those in Vancouver.
This time, of course, the key difference is in the LA net. That series, the Kings averaged three goals but gave up 4.17. The only other team even close was Ottawa, which gave up four per game, but those numbers don't mean much. What you must remember is that Quick was not good, and that the Kings did all their scoring on the power play.
Neither of those things is true this time. Quick is two years older, much more confident, and somewhat less worn-out than he was then (he played 69 games this year, against 72 that former year. Last year, since you're likely wondering, it was 61. But recall too that that 2010 year was the Olympic year, and he was part of the US silver medal team).
And the team in front of him is more poised. They're not struggling to score, a refrain that has been heard all year long in the negative. They've got a 3-goal per game average going into game four. This ties them for fourth in the playoffs. But they're also taking advantage more.
They scored two shorthanded goals in one game (two), a sign of both opportunism and confidence. Maybe, you could say, of desperation, if that word can be extended to a team which has marched into the opposition, President's Trophy-winning building and taken the first game. They knew, it would seem, that if they didn't pounce, game one would be simply a blip. Going home up by a pair made the chances of an upset much more likely. And so it is.
So to go back to Vancouver, one wonders whether this team is another San Jose Sharks—good in the regular campaign, weaker in the post-season?
The common wisdom is that the President's trophy is something of a curse. Win it, and you're pretty sure not to do well in the playoffs. Stats don't bear that out. Vancouver won it last year, and they made the Finals. Detroit won it twice in a row, as have a few other teams. The Wings had two bad playoff runs after those seasons (2004 and 2006), but the other two times they've won it in the past decade, they've claimed the Stanley Cup (2002, 2008).
Yet on the more bleak side, fifteen different teams have claimed it in its 26-year existence. Five have been eliminated in the first round. And here again, recent memory probably clouds statistical truth, because since the lockout year, the trophy has been awarded to three teams (two from Detroit, and the Caps) which have flubbed in the first round of that year's playoffs. But
But choose the decade from 1995 to the lockout, and things look different. Four of the ten winners went to the Finals. Three won the Cup (Dallas, Colorado, Detroit). And to put it simply, whether there's a trophy at stake or not, the advantage—starting every playoff round at home, always having potential game sevens in your own arena—can't be surpassed.
In fact, Vancouver used just that advantage last season, when they took the final games of both their Chicago and San Jose series at home. The former was in game seven, about which more in a moment. The latter was a not-so-dramatic five-gamer. The team also won all four of its opening games at home and so never started out a series behind.
It's likely that this time, they've blown their chances burying themselves by three games, but for those holding out hope, the formula for a Vancouver comeback goes something like this: beat the best goalie in hockey four times in a row, get your scoring back on track, improve your power play, and overcome your weariness at having gone to the Finals last year. Then, having done all of this, do it twice more in series against teams statistically better than eighth-seed LA. And that's just to get back to the big show.
In recent Vancouver, history, there's precedent that suggests that 3-0, or 0-3, isn't impossible to recover from. They were up 3-0 against Chicago last year before allowing the Hawks back in it with three wins in a row. The seventh game, too, was right to the wire, with the Canucks giving up a late shorthanded goal (Toews) before winning it in overtime.
But Luongo was pulled in games four and five of that series, and he did not start game six. The equivalent to that series, this year, then, would be that that Jonathan Quick has to hit a huge brick wall, right now, in game four, and stumble his way through the next one, then watch as Jonathan Bernier blows game six.
That is never going to happen. Quick is as cool as ice water. Talk to him, and he often doesn't make eye contact. Tell him how great his saves were, and he just shrugs, smiles a tiny crooked smile, and gives credit to the team. Sure, lots of goalies do that. He seems to mean it. And there's no way he's going to let his glorious season, where he essentially did it all to make this even happen, suddenly go poof! He's not Luongo.
So no matter what the Canucks do in LA tonight, and it's hard to believe that they won't figure a way to make a game of it, if not to win, it's a long, long, unbearably long road they've got ahead of them.

I have started jotting down a general list of things I want to accomplish. Some of these are things I want to do daily. Some are weekly. Some are short term. Some are long term. Some are one time things I need to do. Some are ongoing. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to track my progress. I've downloaded a few apps but haven't had time to really try any of them yet. Do you have any favorite methods? And now a quick update on my New Day Resolutions for week 1. The only 2 daily goals that I've been 100% on is that I haven't eaten any meat and I've written every day. I missed my bible reading and daily photo goal on Friday. My Christmas decorations are still up and my closet is still a hoarder's nightmare, but I was spending some much needed quality time with my husband, some new friends, and some friends that are really family. I'm okay with my misses this first week. I know I will get better and it's okay if I do it in baby steps. Did you make any resolutions? How are you doing?

Community leaders hope a new community garden will bring neighbors together and boost the city's chances of getting a huge federal grant to overhaul this in town Albany neighborhood.
Hines Memorial Methodist Church teamed up with the Albany Housing Authority to get the garden going.
They say it will have a lot of benefits, including improving nutrition.
"Absolutely, I'm sure probably 75% of us are a little overweight and so hopefully we will then become better eaters," said Rogers Hazel, garden organizer.
"Well it's exciting the community can get together to make things happen because, it's truly a collaborative effort to make this happen," said Remy Hutchins, Infectious Disease & Health Promotion Coordinator, Southwest Georgia District Health Office.
The garden is at 400 North Madison Street and currently has four vegetable plots.
They hope to expand to 10-beds. It's free for anyone who wants to plant or pick. Walmart and Home Depot donated to the project.
