China Manufacturing Growth Accelerates, Surveys Show
China's manufacturing grew at a faster pace for a fourth straight month in November, indicating the economy can withstand higher interest rates as price pressures escalate.
The Purchasing Managers' Index rose to 55.2 from 54.7 in October, China's logistics federation said on its website today. That was more than the 54.8 median estimate of 14 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. A PMI released by HSBC Holdings Plc also jumped.
Today's reports showed input prices surging, reinforcing the case for the central bank to boost borrowing costs again after it lagged behind counterparts from Malaysia to South Korea. Concern that monetary tightening will hamper corporate profit growth spurred an 8 percent sell-off in China's benchmark stock index in the past month.
"The risk of a sharp growth deceleration has abated, but all signs are suggesting that inflation may surprise on the upside," said Tao Dong, a Credit Suisse AG economist in Hong Kong. He called input-price data "alarming."
The logistics federation's PMI showed the strongest reading in seven months, while the measure released by HSBC and Markit Economics was at an eight-month high of 55.3.
The Shanghai Composite Index closed 0.1 percent higher, rising for the first day in four.
Strength in Asia
The Chinese picture of stronger manufacturing and climbing prices was repeated across Asia in reports released today by HSBC and Markit for India, South Korea and Taiwan.
India needs to keep tightening monetary policy, HSBC economist Leif Eskesen said, commenting on PMI data showing the nation's fastest manufacturing growth in six months. Taiwan had its first expansion in four months and South Korea, too, switched from a contraction.
In contrast, an Australian measure slid, a report by the Australian Industry Group and PricewaterhouseCoopers showed today. In the U.S., manufacturing growth likely slipped from a five-month high, according to economists' median estimate ahead of today's release of the Institute for Supply Management's factory index.
The Chinese reports bolstered economists' forecasts for higher rates. Credit Suisse said today that an increase is likely to come around Dec. 13, when the government will announce the latest price data.
Surging Prices
In October, the Chinese central bank pushed the one-year lending rate to 5.56 percent, the first increase since 2007. In comparison, South Korea has moved twice this year, Malaysia three times and India six.
Ben Simpfendorfer, an economist for Royal Bank of Scotland Plc, said that rising inventories shown in today's data may signal that companies will end restocking, easing producer-price pressures and causing a "modest" slowdown in economic growth in the first quarter.
The logistics federation's index of input costs rose to 73.5, the highest level since June 2008. The HSBC report showed that manufacturers increased output prices by the most since data began in 2004.
Cement prices have climbed to a record, the state-run China Daily reported today. Consumer prices may have climbed 4.8 percent in November after October's 4.4 percent gain, which was the biggest in 25 months, according to China International Capital Corp.
Slowing Growth
McDonald's Corp., the world's largest restaurant chain, increased prices in China on Nov. 17 to offset rising costs. Kweichow Moutai Co., China's biggest liquor maker by market value, may raise prices by as much as 24 percent this month, according to a report by Shenyin & Wanguo Securities Co.
Zhang Liqun, a senior researcher at the State Council's Development Research Center, said that while PMI data shows an "improved economic climate," the nation's expansion will continue to moderate. Leaders meeting in Beijing later this month to set economic policy will gauge the risk of the debt crisis in Europe, China's biggest market, cutting export demand.
Bank of America-Merrill Lynch said today's data supported its forecasts for the Chinese economy to expand at a 9.3 percent annual pace this quarter and 10.3 percent for the full year. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said export orders and "continued strength" in credit and money-supply growth even after tightening measures may have bolstered both PMIs.
Wen's Campaign
Premier Wen Jiabao announced Nov. 17 a package of measures to counter inflation, from the threat of price caps for "daily necessities" to pledges to maintain the food supply by selling state reserves. Chinese futures for commodities including cotton, sugar, rice and natural rubber have climbed to records in the past two months.
The government's campaign to rein in money supply and cool prices also included two reserve-ratio increases for lenders last month, which drained cash from the financial system.
At the same time, the central bank has limited increases in the yuan that could help to counter inflation. While officials allowed appreciation of about 1.8 percent against the dollar in September, since then gains have been about 0.3 percent.
Nomura Holdings Inc. said this week that China is in "a solid growth phase" even as inflation concerns rise. Citigroup Inc. said that while inflation, mainly driven by food and global commodity costs, is "a critical policy worry," the economy is not overheating as it did in 2007-08.
Cotton, Steel
The National Development and Reform Commission said yesterday that nationwide price controls aren't needed yet.
In the PMI surveys, purchasing managers cited price gains in agricultural goods, cotton and raw materials including fuel and steel. Spot prices of power-station coal at Qinhuangdao port, a Chinese benchmark, rose to a two-year high this week.
Manufacturing growth accelerated even amid a diesel shortage and shutdowns at steelmakers and aluminum smelters as a result of a government energy-efficiency campaign. Officials are also trying to cool the real-estate market.
Economic growth slowed to a 9.6 percent annual pace in the third quarter from 11.9 percent in the first three months of this year. Even as the expansion moderates, China is set to overtake Japan this year to become the world's second-biggest economy.
The government-backed PMI, released by the Beijing-based China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing and the National Bureau of Statistics, covers more than 820 companies in 20 industries, including energy, metallurgy, textiles, automobiles and electronics. The HSBC survey covers more than 430 firms.

If in my skin I add an image border to say

The overall width and height is cropping the images.
I'm guessing the height and width is worked out by some math of the image height and width of each individual image in the scroller??
I would like to manually set the width and height of the container is this possible?
in firebug this works but when i add it to my css it is ignored.

The staff on the boat was kind and knowledgeable. Kudos VIATOR and their staff. I had a problem with my ticket and Viator handled the situation as well as they organize their tours... Thank you Viator.
Very good, worth doing..
We took this river cruise at night and got to see many of the attractions of Paris lit up. It was a wonderful way to see many of the places we didn't get to see since we only in Paris a few short days.
This tour was amazing!
Wonderful overview of Paris!!
worked out wonderful
Easy Fun! Great way to take a break from walking and see the city from the river. Large boat and comfy too. Even if it rains it has views from covered underneath part. :
This was a fantastic tour! I loved the way that the time was not set and you could go any time on the day you signed up for. We did an afternoon after going to the D'Orssay in the morning. The guide on the boat was able to give information about the sights in just about any language! It was great to see some of the landmarks of Paris from the river. It was a great perspective. This was a tour that was not expensive and well worth the money!
A must for everyone each time they visit Paris.
curtischa United States of ...
I like the view from the River and seeing the interesting sites along the way.
the boat tour was excellent. the views at night were beautiful. duration was perfect.
We did this our first evening in Paris. Loved it. Took wine with us.
Great tour!!! Bad that in the top there is no audio but the views are amazing!!!. Thanks!!!
We took the 9:30pm departure in early August. It was perfect!
There we were, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, leaving at dusk and
returning in the dark to see the lights of Paris. Upon returning, we
waited 15 minutes to see the Eiffel Tower light up like a magnificent
sparkler at 11:00 pm. Our best evening in Paris and it was magical.
P.S. Arrived about one half hour early.
Great way to see Paris from a different perspective. Recommended.
One cannot do Paris without a river cruise, as always absolutely fantastic.
What a perfect way to experience the Siene. We sailed under all the beautiful bridges and past the Eiffel Tower the D'Orsay and Notre Dame. Watching all the people lining the banks of the river was classic. Ah, Paris.
We went at sunset to see the City of Lights. It was fabulous! A must do when in Paris.
Cruise was good. Learned a lot.
do the cruise during night time.....
We really enjoyed this tour. It was very easy to find the tour at the base of the Eiffel Tower, right down the stairs by the river. We saw so many things in a very short period of time and got some great pictures. We were only in Paris for one day and this was the perfect cruise for anyone looking to see several things when you don't have much time. Highly recommend.
it was a relaxing and interesting experience
It was a perfect evening!!!! Highly recommended to everyone... 8pm was a beautiful time.
We took this cruise in the evening and it was great. The best part was the end of the cruise was returning to the dock and watching the twinkling lights of the Eiffel Tower.

When I try to upload screenshots through the flash uploader, I get HTTP error 302 and the files won't be added to my gallery. If I upload them manually through SFTP and try to search for new images, it does work. However, I would like to be able to use the Flash uploader as well.
I tried this with a dummy account (subscriber) and Administrator account, so I'm pretty sure it isn't roles-related.

Easy going and fun loving; educated and opinionated; considerate and confident; sensitive and strong-willed. I am just as happy quietly reading a book as I am yelling to the person next to me at a party.
I very quickly grow tired of just talking about myself though, so I'll sum this up with three points:
a) I'm well-adjusted
b) I'm positive minded
c) I'm just the right amount of crazy*
* As in, I'm not boring but I'm not a lunatic either. ;)
TV: I lean towards comedies (30 Rock, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Eastbound & Down, etc.) and documentaries (Louis Theroux, Jacques Cousteau, David Attenborough, etc.) but also love the more recent American HBO dramas, like Six Feet Under, The Sorpranos and Game of Thrones.
Film: Again, way too many to name. I like a lot of films by Martin Scorcese, Clint Eastwood, the Coen brothers, Robert Altman, some Steven Spielberg, P.T. Anderson, Nicolas Winding Refn, Lars Von Trier, Steve McQueen, David Fincher and Werner Herzog.
Books: Heaps and heaps! Stuff by authors like Ray Bradbury, Kurt Vonnegut, Henry Miller, Truman Capote, Ian McEwan, John Steinbeck, Vladimir Nabokov, Ernest Hemmingway, David Mitchell, Franz Kafka, Philip K. Dick, Harold Pinter, Tennessee Williams, George Orwell... I should really stop now.

A plugin that will let you show player's name in the MOTD and/or randomize public motds of your server. You can also use motd to only one player.
Version: v2.4
This plugin will show a players name to themselves in the MOTD of your server (that's the message shown in the server list!)
It uses mySQL or yml (your choice) to save a players IP. Once the player has logged in at least once to save the IP, it will begin showing them a custom MOTD you define in the conifg, where %name% is replaced with the player's name! You can also set special MOTDs for just one player so that only they see it.
- Easy config
- YML or mySQL support
- Custom MOTDs where %name% is replaced with a players name
- Can set a special MOTD on a player-by-player basis
- This plugin was tested on my server play.modnations.net and CookieSlap.net for over a month with an average of 50 players online, thought sometimes as many as 125 players. No issues were caused via this plugin.
- Colored MOTDs via using "&" - see colors here.
- mySQL settings ask the basics
- Set Main.SQL.Enabled to true if you want to use MySQL. (Database.)
- If mySQL connection fails, it will use YML
- Motds.MOTD? - Use %name% where you want the player's name to be
- Motds.Count - Change this to as many motds you want it randomize through.
- Custom MOTDs: - If a player is entered here, only they will see this motd.
- Want colors? Use the color tags in the message.
- Is the UpdateChecks annyoing? Turn them off in the config.
Color Codes:
Use these codes to add colors into the MOTD. Simply use the & symbol followed by the number or letter.
Example: '&9Welcome to the server, &c%name%&9!' would show: Welcome to the server, TheNameofThePlayer!
&e <<- Yellow (&e)
&f <<- White (&f)
&l <<- Bold
&m <<-
Strike through line through the text.
&n <<- Underline
&o <<- Italic
&k <<- "Magic" text. (Random text.)

they dont need to make that you also can enter some spaces (from your spacebar :P ;) :)) and then you also get multiple line

It seems like everyone (including me) would like either /n or %newline%, for a new line.
HeroCC May 08, 2014 at 00:22 UTC - 0 likes
Is there a way to make a newline? Like %newline% or something? Thanks!
MCer202 Apr 23, 2014 at 02:06 UTC - 0 likes
If I think you mean what you mean, then... just put the players name in the motd...? Example:
What you want?: This is (your username)'s server! What it is now: Welcome %name%!

Layered Dip
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 0 mins
We luv this Dip. And make it all the time!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (250 g) package cream cheese
- 1⁄2 cup sour cream
- 1⁄4 cup mayonnaise (I use whipped salad dressing)
- 8 ounces cooked small shrimp (I use 2 cans of shrimp)
- 1 cup seafood cocktail sauce (I like Woodman's tangy seafood sauce, please note I find that some seafood sauces are too strong)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (finely shredded is best the cheese stays on better when you dip, I have used other kinds of cheese)
- 1 green pepper, diced (never use I hate green pepper)
- 3 green onions, sliced (very flexible you can add a little more or a little less)
- 1 tomatoes, diced (also very flexible, I often use 2 tomatoes)
- Beat together cream cheese (works better at room temp.), sour cream and Mayo/whip dressing until smooth.
- Spread over 12 inch (30cm) platter.
- Sprinkle remaining ingredients over this mixture in the order given.
- Chill to blend the flavors (you can eat immediately and it's still good, but it is better if you let it chill) Serve with crackers (I find some crackers break easily and make it difficult to eat the dip). We like to eat the dip with round tortilla chips.
- If you are serving it to guests or are taking this to a party bring a few copies of the recipe.
- I almost always get asked for the recipe!
Most Helpful
Tasty, simple.....great recipe...thank you....Stephanie
This was very tasty and easy to make. The guys gobbled this up on poker night. Thanks for posting!
This is a great dip for sure! I made this, but without the green peppers for personal tastes, and it was spectacular! Thanks so much for posting this on here!!!

Hey. I'm quite new to App Engine. I created a web-based Twitter app which is now running on App Engine and I'm constantly hitting my CPU Over Quota limits. I did a little profiling and I found out that every request consists of two urlfetch queries, each one of which takes up to 2 CPU seconds. That time is probably spent waiting, all the rest of the code is done in under 200 ms (including work with the Datastore). The Quota is for 6.5 hours per day and every request of mine takes approx. 4 CPU seconds. I ran out of the free quota this morning in only a few hours.
What is the way around this? I can't make Twitter respond to my API calls quicker, and I cannot cache the results, since every request is for a different Twitter profile.
Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

Makes install easier
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Product is a good one. As my installer said, "you can pay the cost now for the brackets, or pay more once drywall goes up when the labor is more intensive to cut out the speaker holes." I opted to pay the costs up front so I could see, and approve, exactly where the speakers would be placed.
Pros: allows for visual "validation" of where speakers will be placed before drywall goes up
Cons: expensive for just a plastic ring.... it adds 30%+ to the cost of the speakers.

Ughh, seriously ladies! This morning I saw my midwife (who I decided at my last appointment is not really that great of a midwife, i think the Army has corrupted her "midwifery" skills) for a routine OB appointment. I am 34 weeks today. Anyway I've been having preterm labor issues for ten weeks now. But she never has seemed concerned. Like not a drop, doesn't even say "take it easy". Only the OBs that see my at L&D try to offer suggestions to help. Such as "no more sex until 36 weeks" and my midwife says she doesn't care if I have sex or not! At my appointment last time when i asked about the actual delivery and procedures, she wouldn't even talk to me about it and just handed me a hospital folder with some paperwork! It irritated me. And she only sees me every 4 weeks! Anyway okay so she takes my vitals and measures my uterus and checks the heartbeat and says, "okay great, I'll see you 4 weeks from now!" And I said, "um, I'm 34 weeks, you don't want to see me until 38 weeks?" And she said yes! I probably wont even make it that far so I'm not even bothering to set up a flipping appointment. I hate calling the military appointment line anyway and I'm always on hold forever and then they never have any appointments anyway and I have to beg them to try to find me one! Which then they always do. I am so sick of the military health system! I don't feel like a person EVER, I'm only ever a "number" actually I'm a number in front of my husband's SSN to be exact. LOL So I'm don't with prenatal appointments i guess. If I make it to 38 weeks, I'll go in for a check up I suppose....
I'm not making (or going to) any more OB appointments...
Baby # 4 EDD: March 29, 2014
#3: 5/9/12 - #2: 8/7/07 - #1: 11/27/05
wow that is so wrong! your babys health is more importaint than that crazy midwifes thinking. i would not be taking that. you should just call her and tell her you are showing up to get checked in a week or two no matter what she says. can you request a diff doc to see u?
I would try to schedule with the OB and not with the midwife. Although you are close these last weeks are very important. Don't let one bad midwife turn you away from what could be necessary medical treatment. Complain up the chain of command! Your DH busts his but for our country and you and lo deserve proper medical care!
Jamie and Rob (12/27/01)
DS Robbie 10/4/09
DD Aubrey 5/13/12 HappyMother's Day to me!
Maybe I WILL just call and make an appointment with another provider, an OB, and just go in two weeks from now. Crying out loud, after 36 weeks you're supposed to be seen every week, right? I think after 28 weeks you're supposed to be seen every two weeks too, but that never happened!
Baby # 4 EDD: March 29, 2014

Ug maybe i'll never go onto prime if the providers suck so much :P
Married to my Sweetheart March 2011,Our Truck/Power Ranger Lovin' Son May 2012,Our Butterfly Princess Sept. 2014, New Adventure Coming Feb. 2017
I think your midwife sucks and should be fired from her job. She does not seem very helpful to your pregnancy. You may as well should've been giving your self your own check ups.
Melissa-- no it's DH that is in the military. But with Tricare Prime I can be seen on the Air Force base or Army post here (Wilford Hall or BAMC) and not have to worry about paying for anything. Then I can see a psychiatrist off base without having to pay a co-pay either (I get really bad PPD and need a lot of therapy and medication help afterwards). If we switched to Tricare Standard I'd have to pay co-pays for everything and hubby doesn't want the kids swtched to Standard so I'd be the only one... it just wasn't going to work out for us. But I guess I should make a bigger deal about seeing someone else other than the midwife. I wanted to see the midwife in the first place because I saw one with DD (on base in Germany) and then delivered her with midwives (German midwives at an off-base German hospital) and LOVED every second of it. Then I had DS at Wilford Hall with the worst OBs every time I had an appointment. So I thought I'd be safer staying with the midwife... but apparently that's not been the case. I guess I should call and complain and figure something out.... But I'm just getting so sick of it all.

It's the best Ad blocker extension, using it for 5 years.
Thanks to #warior12 for his fruitful method to avoid the error "You exceeded the amount of storage adblock can use".
This error is being observed now these days.

Found out how to do this years ago but never wrote it up, may be a better way but it works for me.
Different versions and makes of switch will likely have a different output and id.
programs to be used:
inputlirc - Zeroconf LIRC daemon using input event devices (watches for presses from the stealthswitch)
lirc - infra-red remote control support (needed for irexec program)

General Motors halts select SUV sales; tire recall inbound
General Motors has halted the sales of several thousand SUVs due to an inbound tire recall from Goodyear. The auto maker sent a notice to dealers telling them to stop selling nearly 6300 of its Enclave, Traverse, and Acadia models, all of them of the 2015 model year. For its part, Goodyear is going to recall about 48,500 tires due to the risk of developing small cracks in the tread, and once that happens GM will then proceed with its own official recall.

A Bay County woman is awaiting sentencing after she was found guilty of kicking a spitting on two police officers.
A Bay County jury convicted Reikia Blakely on Wednesday of battering two officers during a violent episode at a Panama City Beach bar.
Assistant State Attorney Barbie Beasley told jurors in her opening statement that Blakely, 22, 3908 Ocean View Dr., suckerpunched
Robert Knight while he was standing in line for a hotdog at a Thomas Drive bar the night of Aug. 11, 2012.
Knight and Blakely had an ongoing dispute, and after the hit Blakely was restrained by a bouncer. Knight asked for law enforcement to be called.
Sheriff's Cpl. Jason Larson arrested Blakely and put her in the back of his cruiser, where she began kicking the door. Larson and Dep. Jordan Brock then tried to secure Blakely's legs, but while trying to get her under control she kicked Larson three times in the chest and Brock once in the mouth. Blakely then spit on Brock several times as she was being driven to the jail.
Blakely was convicted of battery for the hit on Knight, kicks to Larson and Brock and spitting on Brock.
Battery on a law enforcement officer is a third degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison. The battery on Knight was a first degree misdemeanor, which carries a penalty of up to one year in jail.
Circuit Judge Michael Overstreet scheduled sentencing for Oct. 7.

How can I reactivate this really useful feature?

The definitive history of the Montreal Canadiens – to coincide with their Centenary in 2009.
Before there were slapshots, Foster Hewitt, or even an NHL, there were the Canadiens. Founded on December 4, 1909, the team won its first Stanley Cup in 1916. Since then, the Canadiens have won 23 more championships, making them the most successful hockey team in the world. The team has survived two wars, the Great Depression, NHL expansion, and countless other upheavals, thanks largely to the loyalty of fans and an extraordinary cast of players, coaches, owners, and managers.
The Montreal Canadiens captures the full glory of this saga. It weaves the personalities, triumphs, heartaches, and hysteria into a compelling narrative with a surprise on every page. It sheds new light on old questions – how the team colours were chosen, how the Canadiens came to be known as the Habitants – and goes behind the scenes of tumultuous recent events still awaiting thorough examination: why Scotty Bowman was passed over as general manager after Sam Pollock resigned; why Pollock's successor, Irving Grunman, failed; why Serge Savard was dumped as GM so hastily despite his record.
Colourful and controversial, The Montreal Canadiens is the history of a team that has been making news for 100 years – and continues to do so with the return of legendary player Bob Gainey as general manager, determined to bring the Stanley Cup back to Montreal.

By Bob Gainey
"You can't go back, but you can go there again." These are the words that pushed me from decision-making to decision on a beautiful spring day in May 2003. As I turned my car into the long driveway at our home on Stony Lake, forty kilometres northeast of Peterborough, I knew I would be the next general manager of the Club de Hockey Canadien.
A few days later, on June 3, 2003, a press conference was held at the Bell Centre, home of the Canadiens, to introduce me in my new role.
The questions from the herd of journalists came at slap-shot speed. Cameras clicked and flashed even faster. Many of the questions I didn't have answers for . . . yet. Would coach Claude Julien be returning? What would I do with player contracts? Who were the prospects in the system? How did I explain the dismal season the Habs had just completed, missing the playoffs?
There was one answer I did have, to a question which came both subtly and directly: Why would I agree to take this position? The team was a disaster. The fans were enraged. The media were on the warpath. The future looked dismal. Why put myself in this unenviable position?
The answer was easy and, to me, crystal clear; In Montreal, the Canadiens matter! In Quebec, the Canadiens matter! In Canada, the Canadiens matter!
All of that only made the general manager's job more challenging, a point captured by Terry Mosher, also known as Aislin, celebrated editorial cartoonist of the Montreal Gazette. In the next day's paper, Mosher depicted me standing behind the podium at the press conference being asked, "Do think you can walk on water?" Answer:see page viii!
The Montreal Canadiens mattered to me. And I knew how important, how vital and how deeply rooted they were in the culture and history of Montrealers, Quebecers, Canadians and others.
I had learned these lessons early in my playing days. In September of 1973, I began what would be a sixteen-year career with the Habs. I recall a situation about a year later, while looking for a dentist office early one morning in the borough of Verdun. Hoping to ask for directions, I walked into a café filled with diners enjoying breakfast. The entire place went completely silent. Nobody moved. Every person there recognized me. And all of us were in shock – they because I was there, and I at the realization they knew me. I got my directions and left, relieved, as quickly as I could.
I was reminded of the importance of the Montreal Canadiens in many ways and many places, like the time I was in Helsinki, Finland, playing with Team Canada. Walking incognito (I believed) along a downtown street, I was approached from the opposite direction by a person who made eye contact and then asked in heavily-accented English: "What happened to the Canadiens in the playoffs?" There is no escape from Montreal fans!
Loyalty to the Canadiens tends to run deep and long, as I learned from my old friend Richard Halford of New York City. A year ago, he called to let me know it was the fiftieth anniversary, to the day, of the game he saw with his father at Madison Square Garden between the Canadiens and Rangers. He got Rocket Richard's autograph after the game and has been a fervent Canadiens fan ever since.
From my rookie season thrity-five years ago, I have been in contact, directly or indirectly, with much of the Canadiens' history. In that time, I met many former players and staff. I was curious about their careers and put a lot of questions to Blake, Richard, Bouchard, Curry, Pollock, Mahovlich, Laperrière, Bowman and others. They were generous with their replies. Their memories let me touch, hear and see the reality of their lives with the Habs back to the 1930s.
In this centennial history, D'Arcy Jenish gets it right. He pushes aside the cobwebs of memory. He has sanded and scraped away the layers of time. He has resisted the fluffy, romantic versions which have become common, and delivered us the nitty-gritty, real-deal story – the good, and the not so good. I can tell you this because I know.
The Canadiens will be 100 years old on December 4, 2009. The story of the team runs parallel to, and often intersects with, the history of Canada. They are one and the same. Les Canadiens have been parts of the lives of our greatgrandparents, our grandparents, our parents and ourselves. May long life be the hallmark of this great Canadian, Quebec, Montreal institution. May not only our children, but grandchildren and great-grandchildren, have the opportunity to learn about, watch and understand why the Habs are such an important part of our collective history and culture.
Bonne Anniversaire centième Club de Hockey Canadien! Many, many, more to come!
This is Hockeytown
Other cities may lay claim to the title, says Pierre Boivin during an animated discussion in his corner office on the seventh floor of the Bell Centre, home of the Montreal Canadiens. Then, with a sweep of his arm, he gestures at the city beyond his windows. "Make no mistake about it, this is Hockeytown."
Montreal is Hockeytown by dint of history and the citizenry's enduring passion for the sport. It is where a raw and ragged game – shinny played on the icebound creeks and rivers and lakes of a wintry nation – came indoors and became hockey, the world's first arena sport. It is where the first rules were written, where the first team was formed – the McGill University Redmen in 1877 – and where the sport's most hallowed prize, the Stanley Cup, has come to rest thirtynine times since it was first awarded in 1893, a prize captured by the Canadiens, Maroons, Wanderers, Shamrocks, Victorias and the Winged Wheelers of the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association.
In the 1890s, when the sport was young and the Stanley Cup brand new, the Winged Wheelers, Victorias and Shamrocks and their rabid followers were hockey's hottest rivals. A few decades later, in the Roaring Twenties and Dirty Thirties, English Montreal had its team, the Maroons, and French Montreal had its standard-bearer, the Canadiens, and games between them produced war both on the ice and in the stands.
For seven decades now, ever since the demise of the Maroons, Montreal's sporting public has worshipped at one altar, that of the Canadiens, and the passage of time has done nothing to diminish the ardour of the citizenry. "When we win on Saturday night, you get on the subway Monday morning and threequarters of the people are smiling," says Boivin, president and CEO of the Canadiens. "If we lose a couple and Toronto's ahead by a point, Montrealers are very unhappy. If we don't make the playoffs, spring is hell. To some degree, the city's productivity is influenced by the team's performance. Hockey is part of what makes this city tick."
And yet, in the first years of the current century, hockey in Montreal was in jeopardy. Le Club de Hockey Canadien was grievously ill and in danger of folding. The team was mediocre and missing the playoffs more often than not. Attendance was declining. Financial losses were mounting. Furthermore, there appeared to be no way out. The Canadiens were damned by circumstances beyond their control. Player salaries had risen to untenable levels, owing to the freespending ways of wealthier rivals, most of them in the United States. The Canadiens, like the five other NHL teams based in this country, were paying their athletes in U.S. dollars but earning their revenues in a domestic dollar worth about twentyfive percent less. On top of all this, the Canadiens were saddled with over eight million dollars per year in municipal taxes, whereas the league average was less than a million per team.
"We were losing a ton of money year in, year out," Boivin recalls. "There was no way we could make money because of structural economic and competitive disadvantages. We had no hope of surviving."
The Canadiens and their Coloradobased owner, George N. Gillett Jr., solidly supported the lockout of the players that cost the NHL its entire 2004—05 season. The NHL Players' Association eventually capitulated and accepted a new collective bargaining agreement with a yearly salary cap, initially set at $39 million (U.S.) per team. This drastic measure trimmed the Canadiens' payroll by about $12 million annually and helped save the franchise.
"Toronto was the only Canadian club that could have survived long-term and been competitive under the old regime," Boivin adds. "We would have seen the relocation or the demise of the other five teams, and Montreal was no exception."
Hockey returned to the city in the fall of 2005. The Canadiens played their first home game against the Ottawa Senators on the evening of October 10, a Tuesday. About ninety minutes before the puck dropped, the main doors of the Bell Centre opened and a crowd several hundred strong surged into the lobby. Boivin was there to welcome them. So were Gillett and general manager Bob Gainey and former players Henri Richard, Yvan Cournoyer and Réjean Houle. By game time, they had greeted several thousand people, a slice of the sellout crowd of 21,273.
The return of the NHL was cause for jubilation in the city that gave birth to the game. The league's financial foundation had been restored and the future of its oldest and greatest franchise seemed assured. And the Canadiens had something else to celebrate: the onehundredth anniversary of Le Club de Hockey Canadien – formed on December 4, 1909.
That fall, the Canadiens launched their centennial celebrations. The first significant public event occurred prior to a Saturday night game on November 12, when the Canadiens retired jersey number twelve. Left winger Dickie Moore, a two-time scoring champion, wore that sweater from 1951 to 1963, and right winger Yvan Cournoyer from 1964 to 1979. In the runup to 2009, the team also retired numbers worn by Bernard Geoffrion (five), Serge Savard (eighteen), Ken Dryden (twenty-nine), Larry Robinson (nineteen) and Gainey (twenty-three). These joined numbers already taken out of circulation to honour Jacques Plante (one), Doug Harvey (two), Jean Béliveau (four), Howie Morenz (seven), Maurice Richard (nine), Guy Lafleur (ten) and Henri Richard (sixteen).
Two major events were planned for the centennial year. The league awarded Montreal the 2009 AllStar Game and scheduled the contest for January 25, the onehundredth anniversary of the first match to go into the books as part of the Canadiens' official record. The league also named Montreal as host of the 2009 Entry Draft.
Amid this prolonged centenary, a remarkable transformation was taking place. Gillett, who was seen as an interloper when he acquired the club and its building in January 2001, was proving to be a good owner, and he was winning the respect of Montrealers. Boivin and his executive group were overhauling the Canadiens' business organization, while Gainey and his staff in the hockey department were rebuilding the team through trades, freeagent signings and, above all, the draft.
As the Canadiens completed their nintyninth season, these efforts were beginning to yield results. Le Club de Hockey Canadien had reclaimed its status as one of the best in the sport. The Canadiens were contenders again, and another Stanley Cup – a twenty-fifth for the team and a fortieth for the city – seemed a distinct possibility.
A Team Like No Other
When we think of the Montreal Canadiens, we think of many things, some obvious, some less so. There's the Stanley Cup, of course, which was awarded to the Canadiens for championships won in 1916 and 1924, in 1930 and '31, in 1944, '46 and '53, in fifteen of twentythree seasons between 1956 and 1979, in 1986 and again in 1993. We think of longevity, because the Canadiens have been playing for a hundred years, longer than any professional hockey team.
We think of the gods of hockey: Plante in goal, Harvey and Robinson on defence, the Rocket, Béliveau and Lafleur for the offence. And a host of lesser deities: the Pocket Rocket, Boom Boom Geoffrion, Cournoyer and Moore; Dryden, Savard and Gainey. Stars from the edge of living memory: Elmer Lach, Butch Bouchard, Ken Reardon and Bill Durnan. Stars from an era beyond memory: Newsy Lalonde, Aurel Joliat and George Hainsworth, the Cleghorns, Didier Pitre and Jack Laviolette. And those who went from the rink to hospital beds to their graves: Bad Joe Hall in 1919, Georges Vézina in 1926 and Howie Morenz in 1937.
We think of stern and demanding coaches: Dick Irvin, Toe Blake and Scotty Bowman, each of whom was the best of his day. Shrewd managers: Tommy Gorman, Frank Selke and Sam Pollock, who ran the team for a total of thirtynine years and won eighteen Stanley Cups. Owners who spanned the spectrum from aristocratic to flamboyant: George N. Gillett Jr. and the Bronfmans; the Molsons and Senator Donat Raymond; Ernest Savard, Colonel Maurice Forget and their partners in the depths of the Great Depression; Léo Dandurand, Joseph Cattarinich and Louis Létourneau (the three musketeers of the 1920s and early 1930s); George Kennedy, who named the team, created the logo, guided the Canadiens to their first Cup, led them into the NHL, died prematurely in 1921 and fell into obscurity; and Ambrose O'Brien, one of the founders, the original financier and the nominal proprietor for the first twelve months.
We think of a team that has had five homes: the Jubilee Rink, deep in the city's Frenchspeaking east end; the Westmount Arena, Montreal's premier hockey venue until fire devoured all but its brick walls in January 1918; the Mount Royal Arena, which replaced the Westmount; the Forum, which was erected on the site of an outdoor roller skating rink of the same name and was the most famous hockey stadium in the world by the time the Canadiens played their final game there on March 11, 1996; and the Bell Centre, which, with its seating capacity of 21,273 is the biggest arena in North America, and which acquired a heart, according to the Frenchlanguage journalists who cover the team, on the night of April 9, 2002, when Canadiens captain Saku Koivu skated onto the ice after six months of chemotherapy treatments for cancer and received an eightminute standing ovation from the fans.

Week in a Day is a concept for busy
foodies with impossible schedules.
Like most of my friends and family, I
have one day off a week—if I'm lucky. I shop early
in the day and then I go home, get organized,
separate ingredients, put on some comfy jeans
or jammies, open some wine, and then I cook.
Sometimes I'll spend fi ve or six hours straight
chopping, roasting, and stirring simmering pots.
But when I'm done, we have enough food for as
many as fi ve nights—a whole workweek—right in
the fridge and freezer. When the day is especially
long or you're feeling extra exhausted, imagine
how comforting it is to know that dinner—your
own homemade delicious food—is waiting for you
as soon as you walk in. Pop a pot on the stove or
throw that casserole into the oven, and by the
time you have changed your clothes and checked
your e-mails, dinner is served.
Whether you cook two meals or fi ve, the idea
of Week in a Day is that you get a leg up on the
long week ahead so any night you don't feel like
cooking, you already have!
In addition, I have created a special section
that makes another fun promise for busy
foodies: 1 Grocery Bag, 3 Meals. With a basic
pantry and one bag of groceries, you can cook
up three delicious, simple suppers. Also, check
out the QR codes and bring this book to life
with additional content, recipes, tips, and tricks
from me to you.
