I agree that they should post all the reviews, bad and good.
There are items Brushy has that no one else does that I like alot. The transport/robber and the florida robber screens have been a huge help for me. Also, they have a cardboard wax covered nuk that is my favorite of the 3 kinds I've tried. It has inserts that are frame holders where they sit more secure in the box. I didn't need a special stapler for it as I did with a different one from another company. Shipping was fast and I didn't think price any different than Dadant or other major supplier. I also got some mason jar lids from them that were much more reasonable than anywhere else I've seen.

Well their shipping may be in line with the others but its still rather expensive.
and I have shipped boxes larger then what I have recieved for half the price.
But like I said earlier... I like brushy mtn. I order from them alot...
Their shipping is fast and their great to talk to on the phone.
BUT when I place a $200-$300 order and they misquote the shipping.
Then I get a call almost a week later because they wanna add another $75 for shipping... Its just fustrating...
As for their products, they do carry good quality stuff. Atleast what I have ordered was.
but yeah shipping costs have prevented me from placing more then one order with them..
I wish they'd send nails with their boxes like Kelley's does.

I use Walter T. Kelley and have never had a problem. There website works fine and they have excellent customer service. As for shipping, since I attend their yearly beek school the first of June, I just place a phone order before the class and when I show up, my order is on the loading dock in a nice, neat stack. (Just my $0.02)
Grandchildren are the best.... Bees a close second....
@ Honeydew
Thought you were responding to previous poster that stated Mann Lake shipping was free over $100 bucks, which it is. Thought you were saying that only applied east of MS river. Accept my deepest apologies to misinterpretation of your response. So Mann Lake shipping IS FREE COUNTRYWIDE over $100.
Dont want to start any disagreements here but why should I have to submit it a secomd time? What I did do was submit a second different review, a good review. And it had no problem being posted within a week. So Im sure they had no problem recieving my bad review.
Please visit my page, Thanks

BM has the best Copper top covers by far. Tony
This is what I got for an "entrance reducer." Am I wrong for thinking they should have just called it a block of wood, not an entrance reducer? I actually do use both sizes of entrances on my nucs. Teeny. Not so Teeny. And a little grass to make Not so Teeny bigger than Teeny but smaller than Not so Teeny.
Zone 7b ~ Central Arkansas
8fr medium equipment
Thats a nuc entrance reducer--just a block of wood that is the standard as I have seen
Interesting. I ordered one of these kits before and it had the standard reducer. Guess I got spoiled.
Zone 7b ~ Central Arkansas
8fr medium equipment
I placed another review of the feeder, and this time they posted it.
Please visit my page, Thanks
I live with in an hour of their Pa store. So shipping aside they do tend to cost more but I will say the Items they have are very good quality. And the people are very helpfull and make me feel like they really want me to be happy with my visit.

Anchor Bay Films has released the trailer for Clueless director Amy Heckerling's new comedy VAMPS, starring Alicia Silverstone, Krysten Ritter, Sigourney Weaver, Kristen Johnston, Richard Lewis, Wallace Shawn, Justin Kirk, Dan Stevens, Todd Barry, Marilu Henner, Zak Orth and Malcolm McDowell. Check it out below!
In the November 2 release, Goody (Silverstone) and Stacy (Ritter) are addicted to the night life, clubbing, hooking up and always looking for the next thrill, all the while keeping a big a secret-they happen to be modern-day vampires. But even with lifetimes of dating experience behind them, the duo realizes they still have a lot to learn about love when Stacy unexpectedly falls for the son of a vampire hunter, and Goody runs into the man of her dreams from decades earlier.
With their destinies at stake, the girls are faced with a difficult choice; give up their eternal youth for a chance at love, or continue to live their uncomplicated fabulously single lives forever.

London-based designer Benjamin Hubert's 'Seams' is a collection of five large ceramic centrepieces with prominent seam lines on the surface.
"The slip casting mould has been split several times, introducing additional seam lines onto the surface of the product." says Benjamin Hubert. "Rather than cleaning these seams from the product, as would be normal practice, they remain as decoration and in the condition they emerged from the mould. The components of the mould can be rotated to various positions for every piece produced, meaning no two are identical."
The collection stems from the studio's research into creating mass-produced products with one off details by manipulating a traditional ceramic manufacturing process. A study into the slip casting process led to the process utilised for Seams, which introduces decorative elements to the product without a secondary decorating process.
"Each of the vessels takes its shape from archetypal jar and bottle forms, referencing ceramic traditions. The colours and matte glaze are sympathetic to the forms, and keep the focus on the decorative seam elements."

The Buckaroos dominated their competition, outscoring second place Panguitch by 60 points and finishing with 243.5 points.
The finals were a parade of Orange and Black, as nine Buckaroos lined up on the mat to battle for a championship. At the end of the day, six MHS wrestlers were crowned champions. Coach Kent Adair was rewarded for his efforts and the hard work of his team as coaches honored him as the Region Coach of the Year for the third year in a row.
Buckaroo Senior CJ Cordasco once again made coaches stand up and take notice, and was voted the tournament Outstanding Wrestler in the lower weights.
Brian Robinson, Coltan Musselman, CJ Cordasco, Tim Ryan, Austin Wilcox and Nephi Barlow all finished their season on top of the podium as Region Champions. All six Buckaroos won by fall in their early round matches, energizing the large Buckaroo crowd who made the trip to support the team.
In an exciting final round, the Buckaroos were strong and dominant, with each champion winning by fall early in their matches.
Finishing with second place medals are Hunter Bowring, Dailyn Warren and John Mayne. All three Buckaroos came out of round one with big wins, including a 15-second pin by Barlow and a big 10-2 win for Bowring. Warren earned two reversals in his early match, putting himself only one away from tying the Buckaroo reversals record set in 2009 by Nolan Black. Warren will get his chance to break the record this weekend at the state tournament.
Bringing home third place medals are Eric Anderson, Trevor Wagstaff and Jake Giles. Anderson had a tough semi final loss, but came back strong, winning an exciting match by fall in the consolation finals.
Wagstaff came out strong in his first match, and had a strong lead until his opponent got the best of him in the final seconds of the match, sending Wagstaff to the consolation bracket where he came back ready to win and pinned his opponent in the finals.
Giles had a tough semi finals loss, but came back strong in the consolation finals and took only 33 seconds to earn a fall and the third place medal.
Finishing with fourth place medals are Roque DeAnda and Kelland Brewer. DeAnda lost a heartbreaker in the final seconds of the semifinal round, but an 18-4 win in the next round kept him alive. Brewer thrilled the fans with an exciting win by fall in the first round. He worked hard in the consolation finals, falling just short in an 8-6 loss.
Despite all their hard work, four Buckaroos did not qualify for the State Tournament. Curtis Baird completed a good freshman season, falling just short of a medal. Baird lost a heartbreaker in round one, but came back strong with a 9 second fall in round two to stay alive, but a second loss put him out of the tournament. Baird earned a fifth place spot att he state tournament and will wrestle if a higher seeded wrestler is unable to compete.
Randy Jelly worked hard, picking up an exciting win by fall in the first consolation round, but teammate Roque DeAnda beat Jelly in the next round, putting him out of the tournament. Joe Engel and Moe Beh both worked hard and secured valuable experience that they will bring back to the Buckaroos in 2012.
This week, the Buckaroos close out their season at the Utah State Wrestling Tournament at Utah Valley University in Orem.
The 1A tournament starts on Friday at 3:30 p.m. Rounds continue on Saturday at 10 a.m. with the finals beginning at 5 p.m.
Fans can purchase tickets online this year by visitingwww.uhsaa.org. For up to the minute updates throughout the state tournament, visit the Buckaroo blog at www.monticellobuckaroowrestling.blogspot.com

(Phoenix, Ariz. – March 8, 2006) Attorney General Terry Goddard today said his office has filed a lawsuit against Fiesta Canning Co., Inc., a southern Arizona vegetable processing and canning facility, for air, drinking water and wastewater violations.
Fiesta Canning, located near Bisbee, has a history of noncompliance with Arizona's air and water quality regulations. The violations range from operating fuel-burning equipment without an air quality permit to discharging wastewater containing pollutants on the land without an aquifer protection permit. In recent years, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality has negotiated resolutions to some of the violations, but Fiesta Canning failed to follow through with the actions needed to correct them.
"Fiesta Canning has been given every opportunity to correct these problems, and its failure to comply is unacceptable," Goddard said.
In addition to civil penalties, the state is seeking injunctive relief and the payment of previously imposed air quality fines and administrative fees. The lawsuit was filed in Maricopa County Superior Court.

Facilitating the spread of knowledge and innovation in professional software development
Back to login
The software industry styles itself on architecture and construction, but rarely discusses aesthetics.
Daniel Bryant sat down with Brittany Postnikoff, a computer systems analyst specialising on the topics of robotics, embedded systems, and human-robot interaction. Topics discussed included: the rise of robotics and human-robot interaction within modern life, the security and privacy risks of robots used within this context, and the potential for robots to be used to socially engineer people.
Andreas Bühlmeier discusses the foundation of Reinforced Learning and demonstrates how it is implemented. Also, he shows how to track and understand a system's learning progress.
A lot of the techniques and approaches that used for developing and improving software performance are tried and tested rather than innovative - but where does that leave startups who leverage the VM? What does the future hold?
Carl Chesser covers how Cerner evolved their service workloads and applied gameday exercises to improve their resiliency. He focusses on how they transitioned their Java services from traditional enterprise application servers to a container deployment on Kubernetes using Spinnaker.

"Probably no case ever to come before the nation's highest tribunal affected more directly the minds, hearts, and daily lives of so many Americans…. The decision marked the turning point in the nation's willingness to face the consequences of centuries of racial discrimination."¹
On May 17, 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court proclaimed that "in the field of public education 'separate but equal' has no place." This historic ruling in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka overturned the Court's 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson decision that had sanctioned racial segregation. The landmark case marked the culmination of a decades-long legal battle waged by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and residents of several communities.
Although people often associate the case with Linda Brown, a young girl whose parents sued so that she could attend an all-white school, Brown v. Board actually consisted of five separate cases.² Originating in four states and the District of Columbia, all began as grassroots efforts to either enroll black students in all-white schools or obtain improved facilities for black students. By the fall of 1952, the Supreme Court had accepted the cases independently on appeal and decided to hear arguments collectively. None of these cases would have been possible without individuals who were courageous enough to take a stand against the inequalities of segregation. Today, several of the schools represented in Brown v. Board of Education stand as poignant reminders of the struggle to abolish segregation in public education.

415 Thermal Physics
This is an introduction to the physics of macroscopic collections of particles, classical and quantum. This course differs from other courses in that the focus is not so much on the microscopic behavior of systems, but how that microscopic behavior manifests itself in the macroscopic phenomena typically observed. A highlight of the course is understanding how the quantum nature of particles is often necessary for understanding the macroscopic behavior of collections of those particles. The course begins with an introduction to probability theory. That theory is then used to develop thermodynamics, describing work, heat, entropy, and related concepts. The course then proceeds to statistical mechanics, which looks at thermodynamics from the point of view of the microscopic physics governing the particles that make up the thermodynamic system. This leads to new insights and a deeper understanding. Finally, the topic of quantum statistical mechanics is introduced and applied to simple quantum systems, such as metals and gases.

6 pan sized heart shaped noodles
1/2 cup sauce
1/2 cup tofu ricotta
5 oz mushrooms sliced
1 small zucchini sliced
1/2 bunch kale (sauteed or steamed)
OK, now for the layering. Here's what I did for the hearts. In 2 spring form heart shaped pans, I put 1 TBS sauce in the bottom, then added a noodle, then a layer each of tofu ricotta, zucchini, mushrooms, kale, sauce. Repeat, then top with noodle and sauce. Bake 375 for about 30 minutes.
Release the spring form pan mold and gently remove from the base. Serve immediately.
I'm putting down the recipes for the ingredients as I made them, but there's enough for a whole pan of lasagna, not just the two cute little heart lasagnas.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Great product, works well. It was less than 1/2 the price of the original part. The delivery was 24 hours. What more could you ask for? And the service was out of this world and exceeded my expectations.

I needed an obscure battery charger for an old video camera. I thought I'd have problems finding one, but came across Better Batt on the net and found one straight away. I had found one locally but it was over twice the price of the Better Batt one. The ordering was easy and secure and the charger was delivered promptly within two days. Needless to say it's working beautifully. You can buy with confidence at Better Batt.

Archon, Ouroboros Collapsing: Void Crushes MagnificentPosted in Reviews on February 14th, 2013 by JJ Koczan
On the inside of the gatefold digi-sleeve that houses Ouroboros Collapsing, the second full-length from NYC-based doom outfit Archon, is inscribed the lines, "Psychic death brings us to our dismay/Inevitable to end this way/Void/Crushes/Magnificent." These lyrics are the only ones Archon reveals from the album (released on The Path Less Traveled), and I'm comfortable saying they're fairly emblematic of the band's irrevocably bleak musical perspective. The five-piece's doom – doubly vocalized thanks to Rachel Brown and Chris Dialogue – is dark and extreme, touching on death-doom sonically with some of Dialogue's growls and Brown's screams and cleaner singing, but not altogether separate either from a post-Electric Wizard stoneralia, given to periods of swirl as in the solo section of "Desert Throne," the shortest track on Ouroboros Collapsing at a paltry nine minutes. In the interest of full disclosure, I've known Archon guitarist/bassist and founder Andrew Jude for the better part of a decade, have contributed to projects in which he's also been involved and have watched as he's solidified Archon's lineup over the last several years (please note that if I didn't feel comfortable reviewing it, I wouldn't), the somewhat nebulous incarnation of the band that brought forth the debut LP, The Ruins at Dusk (review here) having now solidified around him, Brown, Dialogue, guitarist Nikhil Kamineni and drummer Rajah Marcelo. It's worth noting that the last three – and so 60 percent of Archon's current lineup – can also be found in the band Alkahest, whose post-sludge bears only a passing resemblance in its extremity to the overarching tragic mood Archon present here. All but Kamineni appeared on the last album as well, among others, and while Ouroboros Collapsing having been recorded at multiple studios across Brooklyn may have led to some shifts in sound from one song to the next, each of the 47-minute outing's four cuts is long enough to set up its own context, beginning with the 15:03 opener "Worthless" setting the tone of viscous chugging guitar and agonizing echoing spaces. It's the longest track at just over 15 minutes (immediate points), and begins with low humming ambience from which the bass and guitar gradually emerge amid swirling echoes and a classic '90s death-doom drum thud from Marcelo, whose adaptability here proves an asset to the band overall. Past the 2:30 mark, the lumbering sway of the central riff and Brown's multi-layered melodic vocal kick in, sounding something like Grayceon at their darkest and most massive, albeit rougher in the production and sans cello.
Archon have never been shy about riding a part out, and "Worthless" shows that while the personnel may have shifted, the band's core affinity for repetition remains the same. When Brown switches to sub-blackened screams, she's gradually joined by Dialogue, who contributes growls behind and eventually in competition with the verse riffs. With both vocalists going at once, the screams are bound to be a focal point of the song, and there's a stretch as "Worthless" approaches its halfway point where it feels as though the part is being extended to make room for the lyrics, but an ensuing shift toward more open, atmospheric riffing – Dialogue's far-back rasp backed by synth from Brown – provides some measure of relative relief from the (purposeful) monotony. The plod continues with Marcelo picking up the drums amid Kamineni's more active movement toward its end, and though it's not so much a build as a clear shift, the effect is largely the same. Synths build in prevalence in the doomed cacophony, Jude throws in a few choice bass fills, and a deconstruction plays out there, leaving an amp buzz to fade as the last remaining element before the guitar of "Desert Throne" answers the opener with more immediate riffing. Dialogue has the opening volley in terms of vocals over faster riffing, but it's Brown's delivery in the ensuing slower part and swirling bridge that proves more memorable, though the track doesn't really make its presence felt until the second half, when it opens to what – were it not topped by wrenching growls and screams – might be a '90s-style NY gothic synth ambience. The guitar soon gives a solo over the formidable groove, but the mood is set for drama nonetheless. Where "Worthless" launched with a drone, "Desert Throne" caps with about 90 seconds of noise and crashing as the song falls apart back into the malevolent rumble from which the first half of the album emerged. Whatever the particular recording circumstances were for each of these tracks, I don't know (Jude, Kamineni and Danny Screams are credited with recording, while Jude mixed and David Johnson mastered), but from listening, third track "God's Eye" (9:45) seems the most cohesive presentation of the various aspects of Archon's musical personality, taking the push of "Desert Throne" and oppression of "Worthless" and forming them into a substantive and individualized whole. Kamineni's post-rock tonality seems more present and the insistent initial rhythm captures the listener's attention so that the blackened progression that follows with Dialogue at the fore of the push is only more like to sweep one into its storm.

Streetcar tracks run down University Avenue. A horse and wagon roll through Professorville. A suffragette wears a sash over her dress that reads "Voter."
If someone had handed these photos to Guy Miller in 1913, when he started his job as Palo Alto's first city historian, might he have momentarily wondered: "Are these historic?" These were just scenes of life around him.
History, of course, has a way of sneaking up on us. A hundred years ago, Miller was maintaining Palo Alto's archives, clipping out articles and obituaries from newspapers that dated back 60 years. A hundred years later, his own world is part of the same archives that now bear his name.
Miller had file cabinets and books and a typewriter; today's city historian, Steve Staiger, has file cabinets and books and a desk that looks a lot like Miller's did, if you cover up the PC. Staiger also has a century more of perspective and the futuristic technology to make his artifacts instantly available globally.
Some 4,000 of the Palo Alto Historical Association's 13,000-plus photographs can be viewed through the organization's website. Type in "nineteen tens" for your decade of choice, and you see the streetcar tracks, the horse, the suffragette. You also get the Novelty Theatre on University Avenue, where people caught the latest motion pictures; the Palo Alto Poultry Market (listed as "location unknown" -- could it have been in your neighborhood?); a man in a three-piece suit driving a load of lumber down Alma Street.
Drop in on Staiger, who works Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Guy Miller Archives, and he may be able to tell you the backstory of your Palo Alto neighborhood, your street, maybe even your house. He might have a menu from the restaurant where your grandparents went on their first date. He could find your great-grandmother's obituary in his collection of 30,000.
These are very specific, local searches in a world where the Internet has everything. And perhaps that's part of the enduring appeal of a small municipal historical society.
The nonprofit Palo Alto Historical Association has been around for a century in one form or another (it was founded in 1948 as a successor to the city's historical society that began in 1913). Technology comes and goes, but a city historian is still minding the store, keeping track of Palo Alto. The association continues to publish books and an official newsletter, along with putting on talks and exhibits and working with the city to preserve historic places and structures.
As the society marks 100 years, those fascinated by the history of Palo Alto say the past is still very much with us. Fundraising efforts are in progress to open a new Palo Alto History Museum in the 1932 Roth Building. "The Roth Building restoration project is 'shovel-ready,'" said Karen Holman, a city councilwoman and the museum's former director.
In addition, PAHA board members Jeanne McDonnell and Doug Graham are at work on the association's newest book project, a history of the city of Mayfield that first neighbored Palo Alto to the south and then became part of it in 1925. As Staiger and others are quick to point out, that's why a city the size of Palo Alto has two downtowns: California Avenue (formerly Lincoln Street) used to be Mayfield's main drag.
In addition, Staiger said the number of visitors and inquiries to the archives is still healthy and in fact seems to be increasing. When asked why, he said that PAHA's active website makes the group easy to find. In addition, local history just plain remains interesting, especially to longtime residents of a city.
In his office in the archives, which are temporarily housed at Cubberley Community Center while the main library is being renovated, Staiger picks up the 1989 book "History of Palo Alto: The Early Years," by Pamela Gullard and Nancy Lund, and reads a quote from Wallace Stegner: "Local history is the best history, the history with more of ourselves in it than other kinds. It is immediate, intimate, personally apprehended, and least in America it is by definition recent."
Staiger smiles. Local history, he adds, "doesn't scare people as much."
It was rare in 1913, and even for several years after that, for a city as small as Palo Alto to have its own historical association, Staiger said. In many California cities it wasn't until the 1940s, when the state's centennial was approaching, that there emerged a strong interest in local history.
Staiger himself came to Palo Alto in 1984, after growing up in Marin and going to library school at U.C. Berkeley. He worked for Palo Alto as a reference librarian until retiring 12 years ago and staying on in his current job. Some of that time overlapped with his work at the historical association. He's now PAHA's only staffer amongst volunteers and interns.
Family ties sparked his interest in local history, he said. "I had two grandparents born in California. They were here during the (1906) earthquake," he said. "They had histories and stories to tell."
Palo Alto is a pretty interesting place for a historian as well. Early on, it became clear that the city would become more than just another 19th-century farm town. For one, Staiger pointed out, it has long owned its own utilities, a rare thing for a city and one that has paid off financially.
"A hundred and 10 years ago, it was expected that utility companies would dominate, but Palo Alto did it itself," he said. The financial rewards helped make the city blossom, contributing to such municipal resources as five libraries and a multitude of parks, he added.
Palo Alto, too, has been bolstered by donations from residents over the decades, including just a few odds and ends from Lucie Stern, the Depression-era philanthropist whose dollars supported theaters and a community center, among other well-appreciated donations.
In addition, since 1885, the city has had the influence of neighboring Stanford to enrich it culturally and academically -- and financially. (It was two Stanford professors, Charles "Daddy" Marx and Charles Benjamin Wing, who were instrumental in developing the city-owned utility service.)
Stanford has also had other effects on Palo Alto's history that are less well known. In the early years of the 20th century, Palo Alto was home to many teetotalers, and even after the repeal of Prohibition the city remained largely dry for several years, thanks to a state law that banned the sale of hard liquor near college campuses of a certain size. Meanwhile, "San Mateo County was one of the wettest counties in the country," Staiger said.
Also positively sloshy -- at least for a time -- was the town of Mayfield, which once had so many saloons that Stanford students sometimes sang a drinking song about the "road to Mayfield," according to "Palo Alto: A Centennial History," a tome published by journalist Ward Winslow and PAHA in 1993.
Unfortunately for the barflies, Mayfield succumbed to the dry spirit and voted in a saloon ban that took effect on New Year's Day of 1905.
No history of Palo Alto would be complete without a look at Mayfield, which emerged as a town in the 1850s. Its first school was established in 1855, in a log cabin. By the early 1890s, when neighboring Palo Alto was taking form, Mayfield "lay somewhat isolated, dependent on farming, lumbering and the construction at Stanford, with a social life bound up with its schools, churches and fraternal lodges," Winslow wrote.
(The lumbering legacy lives on in the street signs for Page Mill Road, which was named after lumberman William Page. The road was built as a thoroughfare for transporting wood down from his yard into Mayfield.)
Officially incorporated as a town in 1903, Mayfield had its growing pains, not the least of which was an ongoing competition with its northern neighbor.
Palo Alto was swiftly being seen as a university town, intellectual and attractive, while Mayfield for a while had no lucrative businesses other than its saloons. Real-estate development and population influx slowed in Mayfield, Winslow wrote. The Bayside Cannery on Park Boulevard (its building now houses Fry's Electronics) was a major employer for several years, but its fortunes turned as the Santa Clara Valley's orchards dwindled. In May 1925, Mayfield's citizens voted 357 to 288 to be annexed into Palo Alto.
Winslow's book had a chapter on Mayfield, and PAHA's McDonnell and Graham are in the midst of creating the complete Mayfield book, which they hope will be published next summer.
"I'm being reintroduced to Mayfield. It's really quite a thrill," said McDonnell, who has been on PAHA's board for six years and is also the historian for The Woman's Club of Palo Alto. She and Graham are currently immersed in research for the book, going through archives and newspapers and, especially, photos. Later, they'll formalize the structure of chapters.
"To me, pictures say a lot more than words. There are some really good pictures of the houses that are quite amazing for that era," McDonnell said. "But mainly you look at the people there. That's what matters."
As McDonnell does her research, she's constantly asking herself, "Why?"
"Why did they come there in the first place?" she muses about Mayfield. "The ecology is terribly important. You had to have a water source, good soil -- to some extent you grew your own food -- and having the train right there was important. What made life what it was there? Why did people come there, and what did they create that was so vital?"
Photos in "Palo Alto: A Centennial History" give clues about the vitality of the community.
Mustachioed misters pose with their instruments in an 1889 photo of Mayfield's University Brass Band. A woman in a bustle curtsies at a dance academy. Pictures in PAHA's archives show a Fourth of July grand marshal on horseback, Rosenblum's General Merchandise Store, Jane Lathrop Stanford's Mayfield Free Kindergarten and an unusually snowy day in 1887.
However, no photo is known to exist of one of Mayfield's most influential residents, Sarah Armstrong Montgomery Green Wallis -- the very Sarah Wallis who has a park named after her off California Avenue.
She came west to San Francisco in 1844 as an 18-year-old bride, later remarking that "it was a delightful trip except when we got into the mountains," Staiger wrote in a Weekly column about Wallis in 1999. While her early marital life was checkered (her first husband left for Hawaii and never returned; her second had another wife), she eventually found solid nuptials with justice of the peace and state senator Joseph Wallis. She also became a leading advocate for women's rights.
For many years, the Wallis family lived in the Palo Alto area. Sarah Wallis was an investor in the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad -- and a major reason why today's California Avenue train station is where it is. "They were going to put the train station on the corner of Churchill and Alma," McDonnell said. "But the local people and Sarah Wallis wanted the station in their town (Mayfield), so they could get to it. She was a leader in that sense."
McDonnell added: "She was also very prominent in getting good schools established. That wasn't always common in those days."
The Wallises lived first on Mayfield Farm in what is now the Barron Park area of Palo Alto, and then moved to a smaller house in Mayfield after the economic downturn of 1875. Sarah Wallis Park marks the site of that home.
Long interested in women's history, McDonnell has been fascinated with Wallis for years, and helped get a historic plaque put up in her honor at the former site of Mayfield Farm, on La Selva Drive.
"We are what we were," McDonnell said about her abiding interest in history. "We didn't start out on an original basis anywhere in the world. It's extremely important to know how this land that we're living on has been transformed. And what does it mean to us today?"
From her seat on the Palo Alto City Council, Karen Holman also does a lot of thinking about how local history affects what she does today. Many in Silicon Valley think about history in the sense of making it -- creating the latest high-tech something that will echo down the years (or months). But as a council member, Holman has to be immersed more in the concrete, the brick-and-mortar history of local buildings and streets and neighborhoods.
"Having a good understanding of how we got to where we are today, what guidance was laid out previously, provides a good foundation in how to approach current and future actions," she said.
Holman cited a current proposal to build a downtown office and theater complex at 27 University Ave. The plan would displace the building that houses the MacArthur Park restaurant, a structure designed by Hearst Castle architect Julia Morgan.
"Knowing the history and importance of the Julia Morgan Hostess House gave me an understanding of the care with which development ... should be respectful of that building (that is) listed on the National Register, designed by a revered female California architect and first home to the Children's Theatre," Holman said.
As another example, she added that knowing the background of Cubberley Community Center helps determine how to govern its future. The south Palo Alto center, now a home to numerous cultural and educational organizations, was originally opened in 1956 as Cubberley High School but closed in 1979 in the wake of declining enrollment. Most of it is still owned by the school district and leased by the city; with the lease expiring at the end of the next year, the center's future is an open question.
Holman is looking ahead to a future that includes a new Palo Alto History Museum downtown. While she stepped aside as executive director last year and PAHA board member Rich Green now heads the museum, she clearly remains passionate about the need for the facility.
The museum would "serve as a core resource to connect people from around the world to our city's dynamic past," she said. "It will be a place of great inspiration, designed to help us better understand and more effectively influence the world in which we live."
As planned, the museum would house the city's archives as well as exhibits on such topics as the local history of education, technology, sports and the arts. Classes for children and adults are also envisioned, along with joint programs with such organizations as the Stanford Historical Society and history classes at local schools.
The museum's proposed home, the Birge Clark-designed Roth Building at 300 Homer Ave., has plenty of history of its own. Besides formerly housing the Palo Alto Medical Clinic, the structure holds the dubious honor of sparking Palo Alto's first traffic jam.
Victor Arnautoff's Art Deco murals created a commotion in 1932 for depicting half-naked patients in the examination room; after the San Francisco Chronicle ran a critical article in the Sunday paper, "everyone drove by after church to see for themselves," Staiger said.
Today, the museum project has been approved by the City Council and the Historic Resources Board and is simply awaiting sufficient funding to break ground, Holman said.
The museum's board is still studying what its final fundraising goal will be and is consulting with potential donors, Green said. "Funds are needed for rehabilitation of the Roth Building, operations, a reserve and an endowment. Construction funds to complete the rehabilitation of the building are estimated to be in the area of $2.5 million."
Green said the board is also looking for funds for the first two to three years of operations. "The expectation is that our campaign will be aggressive," he said.
For Staiger, the close of that campaign can't come soon enough. He gets a little dreamy when he talks about a new history museum, one that could be part of a historic district in the neighborhood of the Museum of American Heritage, the Hewlett-Packard garage and the Woman's Club.
While the archives have more commonly housed two-dimensional artifacts, Staiger also keeps an eye out for items that would look good in a museum display case. Those include the black satin jacket that hangs on the wall of the archives, sporting the logo "Cameo Club." The cardroom used to be on El Camino Real in south Palo Alto. The jacket is probably from the 1980s.
Other items include a host of pens and pencils with logos for the city's utility department and libraries. Everyday, perhaps, but they could mean something more. "This could be part of an exhibit about the branding of Palo Alto," Staiger said.
Giving a visitor a tour of the archives, he ambles between rows of file cabinets labeled by subject. One is marked "Organizations," with the Peninsula Women's Chorus, the Parents' Club of Palo Alto and Menlo Park, the Rainbow Girls, the Rebekahs. At 30,000 strong, the obituaries take up a lot of space in the cabinets. More prominent Palo Altans like Birge Clark get bigger, "obituaries-plus" files; his folder also contains an autobiography and a genealogy of his family.
Staiger also points out files of houses listed by address. They might include details on when and how an early-20th-century house was built or something as recent as last week's newspaper listing. "One of the things we most avidly collect is real-estate ads," Staiger said. Ads can give great insight into architectural styles that were popular in a given era, or just tell how many bathrooms people liked to have.
Also prevalent are old phone books; old newspapers stored on microfilm, some of them defunct (the Palo Alto Live Oak, anyone?); and old Polk's city directories that listed a person's name, address, phone number and profession. A phone book from the turn of the 20th century combined Palo Alto with the whole county, because there were only about 100 telephones in the entire county.
And there are lots of yearbooks. A city historian can never have too many yearbooks. They're great for looking up past fashions and hairstyles, but they can also provide important insight into genealogy and changes in demographics, Staiger said.
So Staiger would like your yearbook, if you don't want it anymore. Especially if you graduated after 1970, which is when the collection starts to drop off.
This is true of the archive as a whole. It's less strong on documents, photos and other items from more recent years, perhaps because people don't think their own "present-day" things are really historic. Staiger estimates that fewer than 10 percent of the archives' photos are from the 1990s or beyond.
"We're always asking people to send photos of things that might be historic or paint a picture of a place or time, even if they don't think it's worth anything," Staiger said. "Guy Miller would say, 'Let me throw it away for you.' I say, 'Let me recycle it for you.'" PAHA has even enlisted people to go out and shoot specific photos.
Another possible reason why fewer recent photos are being donated is that they're often shot digitally and never printed. PAHA is fine with receiving digital images -- its website's wealth of images attests to that -- but one technology-related challenge it is still grappling with is how best to share high-res versions with the public.
Technology evolves, but many of the questions that visitors ask the city historian remain the same. People still ask about their own genealogy, who built their house and when. Kids still love historic mysteries; when Staiger gives presentations at third-grade classes, the students love speculating about why Mayfield landowner Peter Coutts built the medieval Frenchman's Tower in 1875. (It's still a mystery.)
For decades, Staiger has kept track on index cards of all the inquiries he receives each year. The cards show the numbers are growing, he said. As an example, he pulls out his neatly inked card from fiscal year 1994-95: 266 in-person visitors, 161 phone inquiries, 13 mail or other ("other" is probably email). That's a total of 440 for one year, compared to 40 for September 2013 (15 in-person, 10 phone, 15 mail or email).
Some of the most interesting inquiries are the most specific. One man had a passion for vintage menus, Staiger said, pulling out his menu file. A pink one for a restaurant called Blum's offers Ham Steak Dixie with candied sweet potato for $1.50.
Palo Alto author Meg Waite Clayton worked with Staiger to do research for her novel "The Wednesday Sisters," about five women living in Palo Alto in the 1960s. "She thanked me in her acknowledgments," he said.
Then there was the man who came in because he was writing a noir novel about a Sam Spade type in the 1930s and '40s. The character was going to come through Palo Alto, and the author wanted to know: How would he get here from San Francisco, where would he stay, what would he eat? "We showed him city directories, old menus, where the character could get alcohol," Staiger said.
Mission accomplished. And yet, as any historian -- or gumshoe -- knows, there is often a part of the story that remains unknown.
"He was very excited with the information," said Staiger, who then looked a little disappointed. "But we never saw the book."

DWTS Week 1 Power Rankings, Part I – The Guys
Due to the unique nature of this season (with the guys performing on the first night and the girls performing on the second night), I've decided to rank the guys separately, then the girls, and then an "overall" if you will…I would just wait to do them all at once, but then what fun would it be without you guys discussing it while it's still fresh in your minds? 🙂
Alright, I'm going to be as brief as I can…I still have House & CSI: Miami to watch!
1.) Donny & Kym – Donny really did knock it out of the park tonight. While I don't think he was technically as strong as Aaron or Mark, his footwork was clean, and of course, he played the best to the crowd. Kym definitely choreographed to his strengths – the Chicago-themed foxtrot was really a very clever choice. He was also the strongest of the 4 in the salsa relay – while not as eye-catching as Louie & Chelsie or even Chuck & Anna, he had the best execution and showmanship. And it's likely his showmanship that will carry him straight through to the final…that, or the legion of screaming women in the audience!
2.) Aaron & Karina – Ok, I knew Aaron would be pretty good, but MAN – the kid even surprised me with some of the stuff he was pulling out! Definitely the strongest technically for me tonight – some of the hip action & arms I saw from him were truly amazing. He also had probably the highest degree of difficulty in his routines – his Viennese relay definitely had the most tricks (which executed very well). He also comes across as a very likeable kid in the lead-ins – he has the same boyish charm that I think made Cody Linley so endearing. He does have one weakness, however: he doesn't really let his face convey any sort of emotion while dancing. Very deadpan – like he is really focusing hard on the task at hand. I do see glimmers of "swagger" come through when he's trying to be sexy, though 😉
3.) Louie & Chelsie – These two really pleasantly surprised me! First off, they are too cute for words – they're this season's "vertically challenged" couple (to quote Mia from SYTYCD this season, when referring to another adorable pocket-sized couple – Randi & Evan), plus they're both young and energetic. And Louie actually seemed to nail the "flow" of the foxtrot – all with a brilliant smile on his face. He got to show of his athleticism in his salsa – while it might not go over well with Len, flashy tricks & stunts always seem to be a hit with the viewers. I can see America keeping them around for awhile, for the simple reason that they're just adorable – like Aaron, Louie seems to have the impish boy-next-door act down pat!
4.) Mark & Lacey – While Mark was technically stronger than Louie, I felt that his energy wasn't quite as strong or endearing – like Aaron, I can see him having issues with showmanship because he gets so much into his own head, trying to really nail the technical aspects of the dance. That said, Mark probably has the best combination of strength and agility of all the guys on the show – that, and he has awesome pecs. And abs. And arms. And an awesome bone structure. And when the bulk of the voting public is female – that's a good skill set to have 😉
5.) Michael & Anna – I fear that Anna has fallen into the trap of trying to add a lot of "filler" to their routines to try and conceal the fact that Michael is not a great dancer, rather than trying to help him improve. Michael seems to have the opposite problem of Aaron & Mark – he is so much into the crowd interaction & "having fun" part of the dance that he tends to get a bit sloppy. But man, is he fun to watch! And he & Anna seem to interact well during their practices – he's definitely going to be the jokester of this bunch. He has the same goofy energy that Warren Sapp had – but unfortunately, not the same level of skill.
6.) Tom & Cheryl – Yes, Tom was pretty bad. But not nearly as bad as I expected him to be! What he lacked in technique (which was a lot) he made up for in energy & feeling…I actually enjoyed watching him dance, and found him to be (I can't believe I'm saying this…*gulp*) rather charming, especially in the Viennese waltz relay. The dude is 62 and he did a POWER SLIDE ACROSS THE FLOOR, PEOPLE!!! That takes guts, even if you're young. But alas, charm & energy can only carry you so far – and I don't see Tom lasting any longer than week 3, tops. He's stiff, his footwork is sloppy, his shoulders are hunched, he can't do the tricks that the younger competitors can do – and he's still a disgraced politician.
7.) Chuck & Anna – Chuck maybe said a total of 20 words all night. While he still may scare the crap outta me (and a good portion of America), I think it was Chuck who was quakin' in his boots tonight – hence the intimidating silence, and overall lack of emotion. His foxtrot was painful to watch – just as I feared, he is heavy on his feet, which results in rather stiff, stilted movement. Having the fedora passed back & forth as a prop was cute, but I almost feel like it was just another thing for Chuck to worry about…he looked petrified every time it changed hands. But man, Chuck certainly handled his woman during the salsa relay – his strength definitely showed every time he dipped, turned, and spun Anna. Aaron & Louie might be the masters of acrobatics this season, but I think Chuck could easily outdo them both when it comes to lifts – which we don't get to see until later in the competition 🙁 So unless he can pull out a smile (or really any kind of emotion) when he dances…I doubt we'll be seeing those lifting abilities.
8.) Ashley & Edyta – These two were a non-event for me. I am having a hard time remembering anything truly memorable they did, and I even took notes on all the performances! Ashley's not great, but he wasn't bad either – I think he actually had one of the better foxtrots of the night, as he seemed to really get the fluid motion of it. His salsa was boring. Period. I have a strong feeling these two will be gone come Wednesday, for the simple reason that they got lost in the shuffle – nothing, good or bad, made them stand out.
Alright guys, let's hear what you think…I'm off to enjoy the rest of fall premiere week! 🙂

Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress, but for some people, anxiety can become excessive and difficult to control. It may negatively affect their daily lives.
Anxiety disorders affect about 40 million American adults age 18 years and older (about 18%) each year. Women are 60% more likely than men to experience an anxiety disorder during their lifetime. About eight percent of teens ages 13–18 have an anxiety disorder, but only 18% receive care for it.
There are several types of anxiety disorders. Each has different physical and emotional symptoms but all share the emotions of excessive, irrational fear and dread that occur more days than not for at least six months. It is not just the symptoms of an anxiety disorder that are disruptive to your life. How you respond to those symptoms can also impact how you live your life. Anxiety disorders can get worse if not treated.
Types of anxiety disorders include:
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Panic Disorder
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Social Phobia or Social Anxiety Disorder
Causes of Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders may be caused by combination of biological, psychological, life experiences and environmental factors. Most people with these disorders seem to have a biological vulnerability to stress, which can cause fundamental changes to the brain, making them more susceptible to environmental stimuli than the rest of the population.
Studies suggest that an imbalance of certain substances (neurotransmitters) may contribute to anxiety disorders which act as chemical messengers in the brain. These neurotransmitters are gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA), serotonin, dopamine, and epinephrine. Serotonin appears to be specifically important in feelings of well-being. Serotonin deficiencies are linked to anxiety and depression.
Stress hormones such as cortisol also play a role. For example, traumatic events cause cortisol to be released by the hypothalamus in higher levels during the body's "fight or flight" response to stress. This gives a person the short-term heightened vigilance, an energy burst, lower sensitivity to pain needed to quickly respond to threats in the surrounding environment. But in people who are more vulnerable to stress, vigilance levels remain high long after the stressful situation has ended.
How is an Anxiety Disorder Diagnosed?
There is no one test to diagnose an Anxiety Disorder. Your healthcare or mental health provider can diagnose it based on your answers to questions about your symptoms. Your healthcare provider may run laboratory tests to rule out other physical problems which may cause similar symptoms.
Treatment of Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders usually are treated with medication, counseling, such as Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or a combination of these. Treatment choices depend on the problem and the person's preference.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
The National Association of Cognitive Behavioral Therapists describes Cognitive-behavioral therapy as "based on the idea that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviors, not external things, like people, situations, and events. The benefit of this fact is that we can change the way we think to feel/act better even if the situation does not change."
The "cognitive" part helps people recognize and change the thinking patterns that support their fears, and the "behavior therapy" part helps people change the way they react to anxiety-provoking situations.
- Recognize and gain control of distorted views of things that cause stress, such as other people's behavior or life events.
- Replace panic-causing thoughts to help one feel more in control.
- Manage stress and learn how to relax when symptoms occur.
- Avoid magnifying minor problems into major ones.
There are four major classes of medications are used in the treatment of anxiety disorders:
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs)
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter, which is a chemical substance that carries messages between nerve cells. Serotonin affects mood, sleep, temperature, learning, memory, social behavior and several other functions. When used for treating obsessive compulsive disorder, SSRIs correct serotonin imbalances by reducing the re-uptake (re-absorption) of serotonin into the brain and enabling it to build up. Increasing the level of serotonin in the brain increases brain activity, which in turn boosts mood in people with OCD, depression, and some types of anxiety disorders. Common side effects include insomnia or sleepiness, sexual dysfunction, and weight gain. They are considered an effective treatment for all anxiety disorders, although the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD, typically requires higher doses.
Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs)
SNRIs increase the levels of the neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine by inhibiting their reabsorption into cells in the brain. As with other medications, side effects may occur, including stomach upset, insomnia, headache, sexual dysfunction, and a minor increase in blood pressure. These medications are considered as effective as SSRIs, so they are also considered a first-line treatment, particularly for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder.
This class of drugs is frequently used for short-term management of anxiety. Benzodiazepines (alprazolam, clonazepam, diazepam, and lorazepam) are highly effective in promoting relaxation and reducing muscular tension and other physical symptoms of anxiety. Long-term use may require increased doses to achieve the same effect, which may lead to problems related to tolerance and dependence.
Tricyclic Antidepressants
Concerns about long-term use of the benzodiazepines led many doctors to favor tricyclic antidepressants (amitriptyline, imipramine, and nortriptyline). Although effective in the treatment of anxiety, they can cause significant side effects, including orthostatic hypotension (drop in blood pressure on standing), constipation, urinary retention, dry mouth, and blurry vision.

Grow a nutritious garden in a pot
By Melinda Myers
Send a link to a friend
[April 15, 2014]
Don't let a lack of time or
space get in the way of gardening your way to a healthy lifestyle.
Plant a container of nutritious vegetables and herbs. Include a few
planters on the front porch, back patio or right outside the kitchen
All that's needed is some potting mix, fertilizer, plants and a
container with drainage holes. A 15- to 24-inch-diameter pot or 24-
to 36-inch-long window box is a good starting size. Bigger
containers hold more plants and moisture longer, so they can be
watered less frequently.
Check containers daily and water
thoroughly as needed. Self-watering pots need less frequent
watering, allowing busy gardeners and travelers the opportunity to
grow plants in pots with minimal care.
Fill the container with a well-drained potting mix. Read the
label on the container mix bag. Add a slow-release organic nitrogen
fertilizer, like Milorganite (milorganite.com),
at planting for better results with less effort. This provides small
amounts of nutrients throughout most of the season and eliminates
the need to mix and water in fertilizer throughout the growing
season. Sprinkle a bit more on the soil surface at midseason or when
changing out the plantings.
Mix colorful flowers with nutritious vegetables for attractive,
healthy results. Bright Lights Swiss chard, pansies (their flowers
are edible), colorful leaf lettuce, spinach, radishes and trailing
ivy make a great cool-season combination. Fresh-from-the-container
garden vegetables make the best-tasting salads, and the greens
provide vitamins A and C as well as calcium. Use the pansy flowers
to dress up a salad or frozen in ice cubes for an added gourmet
touch to beverages.
[to top of second
For summer, use a tomato, pepper, eggplant or peas, beans and
cucumbers trained on a trellis. All are packed full of nutrients and
make a great vertical accent. Surround the towering vegetables with
purple basil, tri-color sage, carrots, beets and a colorful trailing
annual like verbena, lantana or bidens.
Don't forget to squeeze in a few onions or garlic. The fragrant
foliage can be decorative, and these vegetables help lower blood
sugar and cholesterol, while aiding in digestion.
So be creative and add a few small-scale, attractive vegetables
high in nutritional value to a variety of containers this season.

Toronto Waterfront Sportsland Proposal
Courtesy OCA
There is a plan circulating in the Toronto sports community for a multi-sport recreation zone and park will bring Torontonians back to their waterfront.
The area in question is the Eastern Portlands in downtown Toronto. A Condo development is proposed for the area that would see 40,000 condos on 200 acres of land in the Eastern Portlands. Toronto City Council will vote on this proposal in February 2003.
Another vision for the area is being put forth by MP Dennis Mills, and community volunteers. This vision includes facilities for arts, culture, entertainment and sports and recreation, including a cycling velodrome and a BMX track in addition to over 30 other sports facilities.
How soon can it be done? The organizers feel most of this could be a reality by autumn 2003. They believe that Torontonians will choose community, culture, recreation and sport over a wall of condos.
If you believe in a People's Plan for the Eastern Portlands, show your support. Let your Councillor, your MPP and your MP know exactly how you feel.
Visit www.sportlandsforkids.com and www.ingenuitytoronto.com for details and maps of the possibilities of this project.

The New York Mets today announced the club signed catcher Taylor Teagarden to a minor league contract with an invite to major league Spring Training.
Teagarden, 30, spent last season with Baltimore, serving as the club's backup catcher until the organization designated him for assignment on September 1. The 6-0, 215-pound native of Dallas, TX, appeared in 23 big league games, hitting .167 (10-60) with two home runs and five RBI. Teagarden, who bats and throws righthanded, was placed on the 15-Day Disabled List on April 28 before returning on June 4.
Originally drafted by Texas in the third round of the 2005 First-Year Player Draft, Teagarden made his major league debut in 2008 with the Rangers before the club sent him to Baltimore in a 2011 trade. Teagarden, has appeared in 163 major league games over six seasons and is a .206 (96-467) career hitter with 20 home runs and 63 RBI.

VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks have locked up heavyweight fourth-liner Tom Sestito for the next two seasons as they continue to "reset" their team for the 2013-14 NHL season.
Sestito. 25, received a two-year, one-way deal worth $1.5 million. His cap charge is $750,000. He made $605,000 in 2012-13 and stood to become a Group 6 unrestricted free agent on July 5.
Sestito announced the signing himself on his Twitter account.
"Once I got my end signed and they got their end signed and it was official, I just went out and did it," Sestito chuckled over the phone from his home in Rome, N.Y.
Listed at 6-5 and 228 pounds, Sestito arrived in Vancouver mid-season on waivers from Philadelphia and played his first game March 2 against the L.A. Kings. He appeared in 23 regular-season outings for the Canucks, scored once, had 11 shots on goal and collected 53 penalty minutes while averaging just 6:37 time on ice.
His fight card included the Kings' Jordan Nolan, the Flames' Brian McGrattan (twice), the Wild's Mike Rupp and the Blues' Ryan Reaves.
"Players like Tom Sestito are a commodity, they really are," said Canucks assistant GM Laurence Gilman, who negotiates the team's contracts. "He has size, he's prepared to play a physical games and has some aptitude with the puck. We were pleasantly surprised with him."
Because he is limited in his skating ability, Sestito has never had a full-time gig in the NHL. He once scored 42 goals in junior with the OHL's Plymouth Whalers but hasn't been able to achieve anything close to that in the professional ranks. In six seasons since leaving junior, he's played in just 57 NHL games, 13 with Columbus and 21 with the Flyers. He has five career goals.
Security was an issue with Sestito in his contract talks with the Canucks.
"I wanted to have a two-year deal and I definitely wanted the one-way," he said. "Being a UFA, I imagine I would been able to get a one-way somewhere but I definitely wanted to be in Vancouver again. I expressed that in my exit meeting and they said they wanted me back, too, so I thought it was going to get done pretty quickly.
"Vancouver is a great organization with great fans and they treat you well. The leadership group in that locker room is second to none. So I didn't want to go anywhere else. I honestly don't think I could have matched that up in another place."
Sestito did admit he was a little apprehensive that the Canucks are without a head coach after the firing of Alain Vigneault last week. Like every other player, he'll now have to gain the trust of the new man.
"The coaching situation is always a concern but the organization is pretty sure what I'm going to bring and I think the coach, whoever it is, will appreciate what I bring," he said.
Sestito's agent, Scott Norton, agreed that not knowing who will coach the Canucks could be a bit risky for his client but noted that management's desire to have him back was paramount.
"There is always a gamble in not knowing who the coach is and there are certain coaches, I guess, who appreciate Tom's style of play more than others," Norton said. "Tom was faced with the option of going to UFA this summer but he loved his time with Vancouver. The talks went pretty smoothly, They seemed happy with what he brought to the table and I think they've publicly said they probably need a little bit more size and grit in their lineup."
With the Sestito signing, the Canucks still have 11 players from the season-ending roster who stand to become free agents on July 5. The UFAs are Mason Raymond, Andrew Alberts, Max Lapierre, Derek Roy, Manny Malhotra, Andrew Ebbett, Cam Barker and Steve Pinizzotto while those in the restricted category are Chris Tanev, Dale Weise and Jordan Schroeder.
