And then last month, rapper, Big Boi told the Huffington Post, "I stand on the Second Amendment, where the right to bear arms is not just for hunting and fishing and things like that, but it's the right of the American people to, you know, have a means of defense against a tyrannical government."

SAHMs When Will You...
I think by the time LO is in school (private school for all, and HS is more expensive and ODS will be there all too soon, he is in 3rd now) I will need to go back to work at least several days a week. I think in the next year or two I will try and work from home a little. I worked in the engineering field as a drafter/designer before being a SAHM, and I think I could work for DH's company on occasion as I have in the past, if I can convince his new boss. His old boss I used to work with many years ago so he knew my capabilities, this one doesn't know me.
SAHM to two wonderful boys (7&9) and a beautiful baby girl (2/14/12).
I didn't vote because I plan to go back to work full-time when my Feb LO is 3. So two more years.
Proud mom to DD 4/14/2010 and DS 02/13/12.
Jennifer SAHM to four cute boys
Reaves (11.8.06), Grant (5.28.08), Dorian (5.24.10) & Clarke (2.26.12)
Not planning to. Things actually get MORE crazy once they asre in school. Right now I have 4 kids in 3 different schools, early morning seminary, cub scouts, youth stuff and activity days for my dd (like girl scouts).
mom to:
Jacob, Brandon, Ryan, Katelyn, Nathan, Joshua and Emily. Arrived 2-19-12. 8 pounds 11oz.

Microsoft fears XP could cause Indian BANKOCALYPSE
The Indian banking industry could be facing a partial meltdown after Microsoft revealed new research claiming over 34,000 publicly-funded bank branches are still reliant on Windows XP. The report from Ascentius Consulting revealed that XP penetration in the banking sector is at 40-70 per cent. Some 34,115 branches were singled …
Seems to me Microsoft should seriously consider XP 2.0. Why not fix it? Folks sure don't want Win 8. I know that I don't want win 8. So much in fact that when my 2009 vintage Lenovo T500 laptop died I found 2 more online exactly like it to bung in the XP hard drive.
Running scared Y2K
Just like in 2000 when all the computers in the world were supposed to reset themselves and cause chaos.
It became a non-event.
Re: Running scared Y2K
There was a massive amount of work put in prior to y2k to ensure risks were actualy known or fixed. It was a non event because of the work put in to fix issues, not because there were no issues
Re: XP 2.0?
XP 2.0... like W7 then?
Re: XP 2.0?
re: 2009 vintage Lenovo T500 laptop died
Yes, my 2008 T60 (Core 2 T7200) with a 1400x1050 screen running XP is living on borrowed time, but these higher spec'd systems don't seem to come up for sale very often.
The scary thing is that it's UI (trackpad, screen etc.) seems so much more responsive and precise compared to a new HP 650 (i3-2328M) running Windows 8 provided by a client - this isn't a dig at Win8 (although there are features I don't like) but that I found the newer system less satisfying and slower to use.
Re: Running scared Y2K
It was a non-event because all the Y2K promoters were bingeing their ill-gotten gains on an immense best-forgotten blowout and were oblivious to all problems for a few days.
Re: XP 2.0?
"Seems to me Microsoft should seriously consider XP 2.0. Why not fix it?"
They did. It's called Windows 7. Migration is a well proven exercise with very few unknowns at this point....
Re: XP 2.0?
Migration is a well proven exercise with very few unknowns at this point....
And a price tag that would go a long way towards buying a new PC.
If Microsoift were serious about getting people off XP they'd offer W7 upgrades for $50, but they'd obviously prefer to line their distributors pockets with cash from people forced to buy new PCs instead.
Re: XP 2.0?
Or rather, Windows FLP 2.0?
This was a cut down XP for Pentium 2s etc. that allowed some corporates to migrate from Windows 98 onto the XP kernel.
Re: XP 2.0?
Not really. Having been part of a migration from XP to W7, I can tell you that there are plenty of pitfalls to migrating directly between the two.
1. Drivers. Let's face it, not every device you may have used under WXP will have drivers on W7 and the existing WXP drivers, while some might actually work, quite a lot don't. You end up with the headache of how to work around this or, in extreme situations, replace.
2. Bad programming. To be honest, this is not directly a Windows fault but it goes back to the bad old days where a programmer expects all users to be running as a default administrator straight out of the box and does not plan services properly. This causes all sorts of problems with file access, database access and in some extremes profile access.
3. Functionality changes. Not every single WXP option or control has its analogue in W7 and, when they do, it isn't quite what you expect. One example was the "root certificates" which, on WXP, was updated regularly as a Windows Update patch but, on W7 and Vista, is supposed to be updated on the fly as it is needed which does not account for possible security issues. This leads to plenty of certificate errors on otherwise legitimate sites.
That's before we get to the "where did x function or y control go" which is a problem with every update of Windows since the very beginning.
Yes, WXP to W7 is a good way to go on the whole, but it's not a painless procedure and it certainly couldn't be called WXP V2.0, though given W8 and all that has occurred, I can still see W7 taking hold of the market for a similar amount of time, despite Microsoft's bullying tactics when it comes to selling systems.
Re: XP 2.0?
XP 2.0... like W7 then?
Yes, but without the newly introduced features which tend to get in the way. In fact, a good XP2 would be XP with a few of its bugs killed.
Adding new bugs and bits that annoy users is not the way to encourage take-up. If W7 worked as promised then there would be about three XP machines left running in the UK. The fact that there's a strong reluctance to regrade must indicate to someone that there's not a real compelling reason other than scary stories of trolls under the bridge watiting for the unwary who don't have Aero to protect them.
I would be a massive fan of W7 if the following basic conditions were met:
1. It would run as fast as XP
2. XP Compability mode were compatable with, say, XP
3. The networking would be stable and not lose shares, machines or even forget where the machine was
4. That File Explorer would refresh if two, or more, instances were open
The last two, I would have thought, were basic and relatively easy to solve. The second should have been mandatory before W7 left the 'manufacturing plant' and the first point, whilst I can't expect miracles, it ought to come close.
Fix these four things and I will say Goodbye to XP forever.
Re: XP 2.0?
None of these things are unknown. Any IT department with a clue will be able to workaround them and migrate to XP, the only barrier being cost.
I say this having worked for two very different companies migrating to W7.
- You build a deployment infrastructure (MS deployment tools are ALL free) - you dont really need a powerful box either, just a lot of storage
- You identify legacy apps that *might* not work, and put in workarounds to get them working (these vary depending on the issue) - all else fails? Build a VDI.
- You build a driver repository with 32 AND 64bit drivers in this infrastructure
- You deploy and point anyone with a question about "where do I find X" to the MS help & support pages
Re: XP 2.0?
While I agree that XP 2.0 would be a good idea I'm not sure where this apocalypse will come from. PCs that worked before will continue to work as will all applications. The only risk I can see is that they will become more vulnerable as there will be no further patches.
On the other hand anti-virus software could and probably will be used to block attacks so I doubt we'll see much difference. All the major banks I've worked for in Blighty are also still using a lot of XP so I assume they're thinking the same (or possibly not thinking at all).
In fact most XP machines I've worked on are a long way off being up to date with patches but nearly all are up to date with anti-virus software.
Re: XP 2.0?
Any IT department with a clue will be able to workaround them and migrate to XP, the only barrier being cost.
Exactly. (my emphasis)
Re: Running scared Y2K
"It became a non-event."
You were obviously too young to be a part of it and must have read this bullshit statement off some website somewhere!
We spent 18 months at my tiny little shop checking everything from software to kettles ( seriously, we did have sign off Y2K on things that didn't even have clocks! ), signing everything off at least 2-3 months before the grand date. Come the glorious night of 31st 1999 some of us didn't get to see the fireworks or drink champagne as we were sitting in offices watching system clocks tick over and making sure the world didn't come to a screaming halt!
That's why it was a non-event, millions of people worked hard to make sure it was a non-event so when everyone awoke to their hangovers in 2000 the planes hadn't fallen from the sky and you could still go down TESCO and get your 1st Jan 2000 newspaper!
Re: XP 2.0?
Microsoft should include a hidden XP update that forces XP users to auto-sign up for a Google+ account if they don't upgrade. Windows 8 sales will skyrocket!
Re: XP 2.0?
Windows 7
Great, you cannot run full screen MS DOS .exes
NETBIOS removed
2 huge fails.
Re: Running scared Y2K
That's why it was a non-event, millions of people worked hard to make sure it was a non-event...
I worked for a bank at that time and had the joy of watching the fireworks from the top of one of our buildings because our shareholders wanted reassuring. Of course, the CEO was busy enjoying the festivities elsewhere... Anyway, banks are extremely risk averse when it comes to changing technology. Changing the OS their business uses to make profits requires more than its support being withdrawn. The only things I can think of that will reliably cause a bank to make a change of that scope are a loss of profits deriving from the OS, and a merger. Come to think of it, I know of some banks that fought changing their OS as part of a merger.
Re: Running scared Y2K
" ( seriously, we did have sign off Y2K on things that didn't even have clocks! )"
Was that not a clue that at least some of this 18 month marathon was actually unnecessary?
I'm sure IBM's mainframe division did sterling work in keeping up their systems, but that was a purely internal matter for IBM. In the more open PC world, where most of the y2k analysts lived and worked, there was never much to worry about in the first place. Most software that had to handle dates had needed to handle post-2000 dates long before y2k. Most of the rest was never likely to cause more than minor inconvenience.
Re: XP 2.0?
>XP 2.0... like W7 then?
No more like XP-SP4 plus the additional functionality that MS could of and should of released for XP but decided on commercial grounds to only release with Vista and W7. Remember the purpose of XP 2.0 would be to not introduce lots of new things, but to get paid for maintaining XP Pro (32-bit only?) for another 10+ years.
So the launch 'product' itself is more of a new licence key combined with a Windows Update.
Re: Running scared Y2K
>"Most software that had to handle dates had needed to handle post-2000 dates long before y2k."
Like Excel, which whilst it could handle post-2000 dates doing stuff with them could be problematic ...
Actually what Y2K made every one realise was just how many things now had clocks/calendars in them and we didn't know what the impact might be when things rolled over - hence why the net was widely caste.
Re: Running scared Y2K
> That's why it was a non-event, millions of people worked hard to make sure it was a non-event so when everyone awoke to their hangovers in 2000 the planes hadn't fallen from the sky and you could still go down TESCO and get your 1st Jan 2000 newspaper!
Indeed, and perhaps I could add that we did indeed find a lot of problems, particularly with PC bioses, with an upgrade being mostly all that was required.
We did have one customer that had an automatic pricing machine at a photofinishers run by an old PC. It couldn't be BIOS upgraded at all and the manufacturer had gone out of business. The PC itself had to be replaced and all the hardware retro-fitted.
The Y2K situation was a big deal for a lot of people.
Re: XP 2.0?
XP 2.0... like W7 then?
Windows 7 - Aero + Classic Shell
That gets close.
Re: Running scared Y2K
Some did.
I had a couple of law firm customers whose ancient *nix machines kept resetting their clocks to 1970 at each reboot. They put up with it because they didn't reboot often and they had a migration plan in the wings.
Re: Running scared Y2K
"Anyway, banks are extremely risk averse "
Why are they running windows anything?
Re: Running scared Y2K
"Most software that had to handle dates had needed to handle post-2000 dates long before y2k. Most of the rest was never likely to cause more than minor inconvenience."
Amongst other things, without updates most spreadsheets running on Windows would start giving subtley wrong answers after y2k.
That's even worse that failing entirely, as was the fact that a lot of security systems treated 9/9/99 as an impossible date and shut down that day (many stayed that way until restarted), or that a lot of systems running NTP broke in late February 2008 as the standard implementation treated the time as a signed long instead of an unsigned one
Let you think that NTPbreaking is minor, it was on unix systems, but it caused ALL routers built on Allied Telesyn code to start crash cycling. As a result 80% of china's IP backbone was out of action for ~ 12 hours. Analysis of the issue came from New Zealand within 30 minutes of things breaking starting but it takes time to disable NTP on 200,000 routers which are crashing every 90 seconds.
Re: Running scared Y2K
Oh, spare me. That work needed to be done anyway and should have been done sooner. It wasn't like anybody didn't know that the year 2000 was coming. Just because businesses left everything to the last minute don't expect to be lauded for your sacrifice or whatever you think you were doing in solving a problem that was the product of short sightedness anyway. The only question to ask is , Was it worth saving the two bytes ?
Re: XP 2.0?
"Windows 7. Great, you cannot run full screen MS DOS .exes"
Try Windows 7 x64. It won't run ANY of my old dos code. I've been meaning to port some of it anyway.
Re: Running scared Y2K
IBM didn't do all the work for mainframe systems. Every big bank and insurance company set up a group to go through all their mainframe code and identify date error potential (and get it fixed). One common error besides the 2-digit date (which most of us had coded for) was the fact that 2000 was NOT a leap year -- an exception. We used scan packages to find mentions of dates, but each hit had to be reviewed by a human. Followed by changed and tested, of course.
I also got to write scan code for the non-COBOL systems. That was a lot of fun. Most of them were written in C and would be OK until the date overflowed in 2036 (if I remember correctly), but there were also a lot of STRUCT definitions that were dodgy. There are tons of other languages used by various systems, and lots of screen scraping. A fun time was had by all. Any problems found were referred to the system owners.
The management of this enormous mess was also a challenge. When the final hours came, I was there in the secret control centre with top management, running Lotus Domino servers and taking reports from all over the globe. It was exciting, and nothing very terrible happened.
it's what's for dinner!
Re: fear
Delicious and nutritious. Tastes just like chicken.
Businesses DON'T WANT the cloud, unless the cloud is in their own datacenters. Companies are extremely finicky about letting people hold their trade secrets and other confidential documents, especially after all these NSA spying hoohah. Microsoft should get that into the thick head of theirs.
Re: Cloud?
Not only the hoohah over the spying issues, using the cloud when you could have your own in-house datacenter means your business is reliant on two different 3rd party services, the cloud and your internet provider. It might save the business a bit of money if things go smoothly, but if they don't then you could be galloping up diarrhea drive without a saddle.
Re: Cloud?
I work in a bank that still uses XP, we have been using "the cloud" for as long as anyone can remember, even back in our OS/2 days. No documents are held locally on any machine, all files are on robust, backed up, network shares in the datacentres. You work on a laptop, you either VPN onto teh network, or store the bare minimum on an encrypted drive.
It isn't called the cloud, and all our files aren't held by a third party, but it seems to be pretty much the same thing. No windows 8.1 needed!
Re: Cloud?
Especially small businesses that will be forced to use cloud Email with the demise of SBS 2011, or buy a full version of Exchange.
One final XP patch!
Given the awful truth facing those unwilling or unable to upgrade to Windows 8.1, with the unspeakable collateral damage to innocent customers and bystanders, there is only one obvious solution which is paramount to saving the world: one final XP patch in April, 2014.
It will retract the OS license and wipe the XP drive.
Problem over. Call 1-900-BUY-MORE for assistance.
Don't panic, until we tell you to.
" Microsoft said failure to migrate would mean banks not being able to support biometric readers, ...."
Isn't this about drivers for the readers? If so, the manufacturers had better write some XP drivers; or maybe Linux drivers :)
Is the new Indian Mars probe running Windows XP? I'd like to see how they can do an upgrade to Windows 8 on that thing.
Oh no wait, you can't upgrade. You have to do a full clean install....
You can upgrade if it's 32bit to 32bit or 64bit to 64bit but you can't cross the streams.
Don't you have to upgrade from 32bit XP to Vista-32 first, then 7-32, then is there a 32-bit 8? It's probably about 24 hours "work" answering the odd question every 20 minutes or so. And if you believe anything will still be working after that completes ....
There's no direct upgrade path from 32-bit XP to 64-bit Windows 7 (or 8). Why not, Microsoft only knows. It's not as if nobody wanted it. They'd even pay for it.
As for that April deadline, it's like the USA debt ceiling. I'm 99% sure they'll take it to the wire, and then announce another year's support. That'll probably happen twice. Because the world's governments aren't going to make the deadline, and they will quietly explain to Microsoft what will be the consequences to Microsoft of not providing XP updates past next April. By which I mean, punitive (multi-billion) fines for abuse of a their monopoly, and terminal loss of government contracts. If you have to do an emergency migration anyway, why not migrate to Linux, and never again be held to ransom by a monopolist's finger on the kill switch?
> Don't you have to upgrade from 32bit XP to Vista-32 first, then 7-32, then is there a 32-bit 8?
You can go straight from XP to 8 (and yes, there is an 8 32bit).
XP to Windows H8
No it is not that easy. In MS's infinite lack of wisdom, perfectly usable hardware cannot run on Windows H8 'in your interests' because it does not have the DEP type functions on the processor. You might go to Windows 7 or Linux but NOT Windows H8. The fact that 8 will not work with most of the other hardware in a heterogeneous network is yet another reason to avoid 8 like the plague.
The attempts to force cloud take up is yet another, all clouds are good for is thunderstorms, hail and floods. No thank you, I see another off site storage company has just taken gamers money and data to the scrap yard, what a great idea this 'who knows what, where, when and for how long' storage idea must be.
No touch not cloudy, no new interface rubbish, wow is XP the new operating system of choice?
Re: XP to Windows H8 @Richard
Why are you even contemplating on upgrading ancient computers to Windows 8?
I wouldn't bother even with Windows 7 on Pentium4/Athlon era CPU, and you'd still be limited to 32 bit OS on those processors.
What a complete non-issue.
@Nigel 11
"There's no direct upgrade path from 32-bit XP to 64-bit Windows 7 (or 8). Why not, Microsoft only knows. It's not as if nobody wanted it. They'd even pay for it."
Before lambasting Microsoft's policies, can you give examples of upgrading a 32-bit desktop OS from ca. 2001 to a 64-bit OS from 2012?
How many Linux distros support jumping from 32-bit to 64-bit when upgrading?
Next, try to upgrade your Fedora Core 1 (from 2003) to the latest 64-bit version. Jumping through the hoops may in theory be possible but I certainly would start from scratch.
So MS Channel Sales
Man the phones, get those meetings and bug the hell out of the banking IT managers into selling their first born so they can purchase shiny new windows licences earning you a nice fat commission.
Meanwhile in a parallel universe. The ever resourceful Indian nation who are able to send a mission to Mars for £45M, go FU MS are you joking a that price ? No thanks we'll go Linux .
Re: So MS Channel Sales
"so they can purchase shiny new windows licences earning you a nice fat commission."
The vast majority of companies will be paying for software assurance (support and maintenance) so no new licences will be required....
Windows Lite
Suggested this before, but they should release an upgrade for this that will run on the existing hardware but limit it so that it does not cannibalize sales otherwise. They would make a mountain of money at a stroke, report a couple of quarters of spectacular earnings to goose up the stock price, sell their shares and flee that sinking ship.
Nice bank you got here
It would be a shame if anything were to happen to it.
Don't Panic!
XP IS NOT going to stop working in 100 days time.
Also I am sure that the Indian banks are using more 'up to date' back end technology. All XP is used for is as desktop. It will continue to run most applications and with a browser it can access the internet and the cloud. If they really needed to upgrade they would probably go for Windows 7.
Microsoft are sh1tting themselves because, like the rest of us, no businesses in their right mind wan't to purchase Windows 8.
Re: Don't Panic!
+1 All that will happen is that uSoft will no longer provide patches for any newly emerging zero day. Given how long xp has been around and how generally robust it is I fail to see the need for panic .. Except of course for the uSoft account reps who can't sell the upgrade.

Is Chris Higgins a top-six forward? It's a question I hear asked frequently by Canucks fans and it comes with an implicit assumption: no, he's not. From what I've seen from Canucks fans, they seem to be agreed that the Canucks have a glut of third-line wingers and players like Higgins and Jannik Hansen end up on the second line simply because the team has no one else to put there.
I think this comes from an unrealistic view of the second line. Last year, while looking at David Booth, I estimated that a second-line player should produce between 31-to-51 points in an 82-game season and/or 15-to-25 goals. That was based on points and goals produced by second line forwards in the 2011-12 season and it's still a pretty good guideline for what we should expect from the second line.
Higgins scored 17 goals and 39 points. While in the lower half of second line players, he still fits in that bracket and it's important to note that he still produced like a second-line forward when most of the team fell well below expectations and while facing some of the toughest competition of his career. The Sedins both performed like second-line forwards last season, albeit top-tier second line forwards. Complaints about Higgins not belonging on the second line just don't make any sense.
With that out of the way, let's look at his last nine goals from last season.Continue Reading —›
It's time for part two of every goal that Daniel Sedin scored last season, which highlights one positive: Daniel scored enough goals that we had to split them into two posts. It's not as good as the 2010-11 season, when we spent an entire week recapping Daniel Sedin's goals, of course, but it could have been worse.
It's also a bit depressing that he's one of just three players who need their goals split over more than one post.
The biggest reason for Daniel's paltry goal totals was his 23-game goalless drought through January, February, and most of March. To put that into perspective, his longest stretch without a goal in the previous season was 8 games and that wasn't a great season for Daniel either.
Incredibly, you have to go all the way back to Daniel's sophomore season, to when he was just 21-years-old, to find a longer goalless drought. He went 25 games without a goal in the 2001-02 season, finishing with just 9 goals. Good news! 33-year-old Daniel is better at hockey than 21-year-old Daniel, nearly doubling his goal total from his sophomore season. See, there's always a silver lining.
Here are the final 8 goals Daniel scored last season.Continue Reading —›
The 2013-14 season started off reasonably well for Daniel Sedin. He scored 6 goals in October, putting him on pace for another 30+ goal season.
Things got steadily worse through the rest of 2013, scoring just 4 goals in November and 3 goals in December, but it was 2014 that brought the real misery. Incredibly, Daniel went goalless through January and February, apart from one measly goal during the Olympics. Then, after the Olympics were over, Daniel suffered a leg injury in the debacle of an outdoor game, keeping him out of the lineup for most of March.
It took until March 26th for Daniel Sedin to score his first goal as a Canuck in 2014. Between him and Alex Burrows, the Canucks had two of the most bizarre goal droughts in the entire NHL last season.
How in the world does that happen? He finished the season with just 16 goals, his lowest total since 2003, aside from the lockout-shortened 2013 season. Not coincidentally, he also posted the lowest shooting percentage of his career, which may give some hope that he can turn things around next season. Alternately, if you're feeling pessimistic, you could argue that he just hasn't been the same since Duncan Keith gutlessly concussed him back in 2012.
I'm a little more optimistic: with either Radim Vrbata or a non-cursed Alex Burrows on his opposite wing and a powerplay that isn't a garbage fire, Daniel should be able to get back to at least 25 goals next season. Part of the reason for my optimism came from watching his goals from last season, some of which are fantastic. Here are the first 8.Continue Reading —›
Last July, when the Canucks signed Brad Richardson to a two-year deal, I rated the signing as "Pretty Okay." That's exactly how I feel about Richardson's season. Since the rest of the team was mostly abysmal, "pretty okay" looked a lot better than normal.
Richardson was absolutely buried in the defensive zone all season, starting the vast majority of his shifts in the defensive zone. Most of the time when we talk about a player starting the majority of his shifts in the defensive zone, we're talking in relation to his offensive zone starts, ignoring the neutral zone. This isn't the case for Richardson. He was on the ice for 444 defensive zone faceoffs at 5-on-5, far more than in the defensive zone (217) or neutral zone (267). No one else on the Canucks came even close to that.
With that kind of deployment, it's not surprising that his Corsi% was below 50%. Starting that often in the defensive zone all but guarantees that your team will be out-shot while you're on the ice. Honestly, it's impressive that his possession statistics weren't worse and it's definitely impressive that he managed to score 11 goals, though it comes as no surprise that he had the highest shooting percentage of his career while doing so.
It's also worth noting that once Richardson was off the fourth line and skated on the third line with Zack Kassian and David Booth, his Corsi% popped above 50%. That third line was legitimately effective and it will be interesting to see if Richardson can out-battle Shawn Matthias, Bo Horvat, and Linden Vey for the third-line centre role in training camp. If not, he'll have a better linemate on the fourth line in Derek Dorsett, who performed even better with similar usage as Richardson.
But enough about that: let's look at Richardson's 11 goals and see what can be gleaned from them.Continue Reading —›
Not since Magnus Arvedson has a Canuck player's time in Vancouver ended as frustratingly as Mike Santorelli's. Like Arvedson, who was on fire with the Sedins before a knee injury ended his career, Santorelli was going when he left, with 10 goals and 18 assists in just 49 games. On many nights, he looked like the Canucks' best forward. But then he was felled by an injury, and by the time he got healthy again, the season was over.
In many ways, Santorelli was the perfect Mason Raymond replacement, working his way up to a top-six role and impressing there before suffering an injury, then leaving for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
It's a shame, really, that Santorelli didn't get a chance to finish the season healthy in Vancouver, because he looked like an absolute steal. Granted, some of that was luck — like, for instance, the fact that everyone else was sucking, which made him look even better — but still, as his 10 Canuck goals illustrate, he was a pretty good player for this team.Continue Reading —›
Alex Edler had a bizarre season. Despite posting positive underlying numbers that saw the Canucks outshoot their opposition whenever Edler was on the ice at even-strength, Edler had a league-worst minus-39 plus/minus rating. Everything went wrong for Edler at even-strength and things didn't get any better for him on special teams, since the Canucks' powerplay was entirely composed of cold, wet garbage last season.
Oilers blogger Tyler Dellow wrote an article a few months ago called "The Big Mistake," which, at the time I'm writing this, wasn't available on his site because his server is also composed of cold, wet garbage. But the gist of the article was that one of the main ways our eyes deceive us when we watch and analyze hockey games is that the big mistakes stand out to us more than anything else — the giveaway in the defensive zone, the errant drop-pass in the neutral zone, or the mis-timed pinch in the offensive zone that leads to a breakaway. Those big mistakes are like a paint roller covering up the tiny brushstrokes that form the big picture.
This connects to Edler pretty clearly. One could argue — and more than one Canucks fan has — that Edler is more prone to making big, costly mistakes than any other Canucks defenceman. It's these mistakes, the argument goes, that led to the league-worst plus/minus rating.
I would argue, and the underlying statistics seem to bear this out, that Edler was not significantly worse last season than in previous years. I would argue that he's always made those "big mistakes," generally because he's on the ice and handles the puck a lot, but this past season they were more noticeable as they more often led to goals against. Meanwhile, due to an obscenely low team shooting percentage when Edler was on the ice, his offensive contributions couldn't outweigh the results of those mistakes.
That's why Edler is going to be fascinating next season. If he plays at the same level but his percentages regress to the mean, he'll have a pretty good season and fans and media alike will crow about his bounceback year, despite nothing really changing.
In any case, in the midst of the absurdity, Edler still managed to tie Jason Garrison for the team-lead in goals from a defenceman despite playing 18 fewer games. Here they are.Continue Reading —›
One month ago today, the Canucks re-signed depth defenceman Yannick Weber, and it's no secret as to why. Three of Weber's six goals last season came against the Calgary Flames. He's a flame-killer, like water, or compressed carbon dioxide, and considering how often the Canucks play the Flames, it's just prudent to have retained him.
Either that or they simply liked his play in a depth role, and feel his offensive gifts will be more use to him in Willie Desjardins' system. Weber never looked truly out of place (except for those unfortunate games he was used as a forward), and he looked right at home with the Canucks in the offensive zone, where his best weapon — a wicked one-timer — could be showcased.
It's definitely showcased here, as we run down all six of Weber's goals in his first season as a Canuck.Continue Reading —›
In his first full season with the Canucks, 2006-07, Kevin Bieksa scored 12 goals, good for second among Canucks defencemen behind Sami Salo. It's still his career high. He came close two years later, scoring 11 goals, but he hasn't scored in double digits since 2009. Perhaps he should get more powerplay time: in both those seasons, he led Canucks defencemen in powerplay goals.
That may seem odd to say as Bieksa doesn't really fit the profile as an ideal pointman on the powerplay. He doesn't have a heavy slap shot, relying more on his wrist shot to shoot through traffic, and he isn't known for being a playmaking quarterback, but when he entered the NHL he excelled with the man advantage.
In 2006-07, Bieksa was second among Canucks defencemen in powerplay ice time, and he led all Canucks defencemen in powerplay ice time the next two seasons. But then the Canucks traded for Christian Ehrhoff and Bieksa found himself relegated to the second powerplay unit. Even after Ehrhoff left, Bieksa was fourth among Canucks defencemen in powerplay time behind Alex Edler, Sami Salo, and Dan Hamhuis. Sami Salo left in free agency, but he was replaced by Jason Garrison.
Bieksa doesn't have a reputation for being good on the powerplay, but he produced goals when he was on the first unit in his first few seasons. With Garrison gone, there's an opportunity for Bieksa to join Edler on the blue line with the first unit, with Yannick Weber arguably his only competition. While that pairing can be a tire fire at even strength, the powerplay should minimize their weaknesses.
With more time on the powerplay, could Bieksa once again score 10+ goals next season? Maybe. In the meantime, let's take a look at the four goals he scored last season, just one of which came on the powerplay.Continue Reading —›
There weren't a lot of bright spots in the Canucks' 2013-14 season, but the burgeoning play of Zack Kassian was definitely among them. Despite never really managing to earn John Tortorella's trust by demonstrating the two-way play that earns one top-six icetime, Kassian still managed to put up 14 goals and 15 assists.
The assists may have been the nicer sign. Watching Kassian for two seasons in Vancouver, it was clear that he had some extraordinary vision — it just wasn't translating into helpers. But finally, in the back half of the Canucks' season, as everything else was falling apart, Kassian appeared to be putting it together. By season's end, he looked like a guy capable of, perhaps, a 20-and-20 season, especially if he finds some chemistry with a centre and gets a spot in the top-six next season.
But enough about next season. Let's talk about last season, in which Kassian did a lot of good stuff. In his collection of goals, you'll see power moves, incredible shots, and some deceptive speed for a big man. Here's every goal Kassian scored in 2013-14.Continue Reading —›
Here's how it works at the Every Goal project: you score two goals, you get your own post. But all the guys that tallied just one get lumped into one post, where we chuckle at their rare and random offensive contribution.
This group is always a mixed bag: prospects, fourth-liners, guys that just passed through on their way to Europe, and occasionally, guys that didn't have a particularly good season. Fortunately, there's nobody from the latter camp this year (although we were worried about Alex Burrows there for a sec).
This year's one-goal guys are as follows: defencemen Ryan Stanton, Frank Corrado, and Raphael Diaz, and forwards Kellan Lain, Darren Archibald, and Jeremy Welsh. Diaz and Welsh and already gone, but the other four will be back next year. Think any of these guys have it in them to get their own post next year?Continue Reading —›
The Canucks acquired Zac Dalpe last September, along with Jeremy Welsh, sending ECHL forward Kellan Tochkin and a fourth round pick to the Carolina Hurricanes in return. At the time, it looked like a brilliant trade for Mike Gillis, as Tochkin has no NHL future and a fourth round pick has little chance of making the NHL, while Dalpe was still touted by some as a potential top-six forward and Welsh looked capable of filling a role on the third or fourth lines.
Nine months later, neither Dalpe nor Welsh are with the Canucks. Dalpe was not extended a qualifying offer by the new Canucks regime, sending him to free agency, where he was picked up by the Buffalo Sabres.
While Dalpe wasn't particularly good with the Canucks, he also didn't get much of an opportunity. He spent the bulk of his 55 games on the fourth line, both at centre and on the wing, and was generally buried in the defensive zone when he was on the ice. He was also saddled with Tom Sestito all season.
When Sestito and Dalpe were together, the Canucks took a mere 40.7% of the shot attempts, which is atrocious. When Dalpe was able to get away from Sestito, that number jumps up to 48.5%. That's still not great, mind you, but it's at least approaching respectable. What's more, when he was on the ice with better players like Zack Kassian, David Booth, Jannik Hansen, and Chris Higgins, Dalpe didn't drag them down, posting a positive shot attempt differential with each of them.
Even when Dalpe was with fourth line call-ups like Darren Archibald and Jeremy Welsh, he was able to post a positive shot attempt differential. The Canucks could have had a fourth line last season that didn't constantly get trapped in the defensive zone.
Basically, without Sestito and with good or even half-decent players, Dalpe was a positive puck possession player. If Dalpe hadn't played with Sestito last season, he might have gotten another shot with the Canucks.
Alas, it was not to be, and Dalpe's only shots with the Canucks were the 52 he took last season, 4 of which went into the opponent's net.Continue Reading —›
At some point prior to last season, we at Pass it to Bulis pointed to David Booth as the key to the Canucks' season. We were mocked. But we would like to point out that Booth had a pretty poor season, which, in the end, mirrored the Canucks season. So I'd say we were right. Who's the man now, dog?
Booth was bought out at the end of the year, a move that we didn't particularly agree with, but we can understand. The guy was one of Mike Gillis's most divisive acquisitions, and with the new regime attempting to do away with all things Gillis in the hopes of selling their "change is coming" mantra, Booth had to go. Now he's a Maple Leaf, like Mason Raymond before him, as Toronto continues in their bid to embarrass Vancouver as revenge for that weird half-season of Mats Sundin.
Anyway. Before we wipe Booth from our memory forever, always ruing the 20-goal season he never delivered, let's take a moment to remember how he nearly got halfway there in 2013-14, finding the back of the net nine times. Here's every goal the ex-Canuck scored last season.Continue Reading —›
When Mike Gillis re-signed Tom Sestito on a one-way contract for two years last summer, it was met with a collective, "Really?" from the Canucks fanbase. Even the most ardent fan of enforcers could tell you that those numbers should have been reversed: a two-way contract for one year.
The previous season, Sestito barely saw the ice after getting claimed off waivers and was in and out of the press box. It wasn't an expensive contract at $750,000 per season, but it was a baffling one. Enforcers like Sestito are easy to find in free agency or on the waiver wire, so committing to two years to a 25-year-old enforcer that had yet to even play a full season in the NHL made zero sense. It seemed like a continuation of the Bruins-obsession that marred Gillis's work post-2011, focussing on finding a Shawn Thornton rather than a David Krejci.
Of course, no one expected Sestito to score as many goals as Alex Burrows during the 2013-14 season, even spending some time in the Canucks' top six and on the first-unit powerplay. He even matched the goal total of last summer's biggest name in free agency, David Clarkson, who got a 7-year deal worth $5.25 million per year. That's an incredible value for $750,000! Good thing they locked him down for two years!
Except that it was a near-historically unlucky season for Burrows, while Sestito had the highest shooting percentage on the Canucks, to the point that he was actually incredibly fortunate to even score 5 goals. Sestito had a grand total of 31 shots on goal in the 77 games he played. Shawn Matthias played just 18 games for the Canucks and had more shots — 39 — than Sestito.
Now, with Jim Benning acquiring the far more useful fourth-liner Derek Dorsett via trade and younger players pushing their way up the depth chart, it's unclear if Sestito will even have a spot on the roster for the second year of his contract. That may be for the best, as every single player on the Canucks has better possession statistics without Sestito than they do with him.
I have no explanation for why Sestito played in all but 5 games last season, aside from just shrugging my shoulders and saying "Tortorella," but he did score five goals, which is five more than I'll ever score in the NHL.Continue Reading —›
This isn't actually every goal Shawn Matthias scored last season. The title is a lie, as Matthias arrived in Vancouver a few days before the trade deadline having already scored nine goals.
But we don't concern ourselves with the goals he scored elsewhere — just the ones he scored in Vancouver, and Matthias had three of those, bouncing around the bottom three lines as the Canucks played out the string on a season that was already pretty well gone by the time he arrived.
It'll be interesting to see what comes of his first full year in Vancouver. He's big, he's strong, he's got some skill — but where he slots in, and whether or not he even plays at centre — remains to be seen. What doesn't remain to be seen, however, are the goals he scored last season. Well. At least I've seen them. You haven't yet. Get on that, you.Continue Reading —›
Nicklas Jensen had one really good week in Vancouver. After finally earning his call-up, he made his presence felt, scoring three lovely goals in four games and leading fans to wonder if perhaps he was the real deal. Sadly, after that, he fell off, although it wasn't entirely his fault. He was beginning to look good with Alex Burrows and Henrik Sedin, but then both of them got hurt. Heck, Burrows breaks his thumb on Jensen's third goal.
But even now, knowing that he only scores three before the well dries up, it's tough to look at these three goals and not get a little excited about the Danish winger's goal-scoring ability. He's got a great shot. Here are the first three goals of Nicklas Jensen's career.Continue Reading —›
One of Jim Benning's first moves as General Manager wasn't a move at all, but rather his decision not to move on Jordan Schroeder's qualifying option. With a shrug, he sent the centre to unrestricted free agency instead, thus ending Schroeder's relationship with the Canucks. Like Keith Ballard, he seized the opportunity to go home to Minnesota.
Cutting Schroeder loose is a defensible choice. While Benning said goodbye to an asset, and the practical cats over at Canucks Army would argue that this is foolish, the Canucks aren't hoarders — they're a hockey team, and one that determined the former first round pick had no value to them. For a small guy, he didn't appear to have the speed or sizzle necessary to play on the top two lines, and his checking wasn't particularly conducive to, y'know, a checking role. Worse, he'd probably built up some negative P.R. value as a Gillis draft pick, and the Canucks have spent much of the summer trying to get that "Gillis era" smell out of the franchise, for better or for worse. So they said goodbye to Jordan Schroeder.
And now, so do we. But before we do, we look back on his last three goals as a member of the Vancouver Canucks.Continue Reading —›
Dale Weise never really fit with the Canucks. As we've discussed previously, he arrived about a season too late for his vision of himself to line up with what the Canucks wanted from him.
Weise fancied himself a goal-scoring grinder; the Canucks wanted him to be a facepuncher who could play. That disconnect was never really resolved, and when John Tortorella arrived and discovered that Weise was unwilling to punch dudes with the frequency of Tom Sestito, he no longer had any use for him. Mike Gillis shopped him unabashedly, sending out a mass e-mail, and soon, Weise was in Montreal, where he'd eventually make quite the mark in the postseason and earn a contract extension.
But before he left, he did manage to pot three goals for the Canucks, which means he gets a post in our annual every goal series, where we look at the Canucks' goal output, player by player, and observe their tendencies. In Weise's case, his tendency is simple: he goes to the net, hopes the puck will follow, and then whacks at it until it goes where he wants it to. Simple and effective.Continue Reading —›
Jason Garrison is gone now, moved to the Tampa Bay Lightning not long after Jim Benning arrived, look at the number of no-trade clauses he had to deal with and said, "Ugh." Garrison was reportedly disappointed to have to go — he didn't want to — but then he got the call from Stevie Yzerman, and everything changed.
There's nothing quite like that call. When you answer the phone and Stephen Gregory Yzerman says, "I want you", it's life-changing. And when you're expecting the call and you don't get it, well, Marty St. Louis showed us how people react to that. It's a very special call.
Anyway. Garrison's gone. But not forgotten, and since he scored seven goals for the Canucks last year, that means he has to be accounted for in the annual every goal series. I hope you like one-timers!Continue Reading —›
As scandalous as it was for John Tortorella to suggest the Canucks buy out Alex Burrows, it's easy to understand why he might think that way. If this was the first year you'd ever really watched Alex Burrows play, I'm sure you'd be at a loss for why he was a fan favourite, let alone how he could possibly have cracked 25 goals in each of his last 4 full seasons in the NHL.
2013-14 was a horrible year for the Canuck winger. At some point, he was less a top-line winger than simply a metaphor for the entire team's awful season: snake-bitten, beset by injuries, lacking confidence, bewildered as to what the heck was going on, excruciating to watch.
For much of the year, Burrows looked destined to be the best player to ever have a goalless season in the NHL. But eventually he managed to find his way, and with it, the back of the net. For about a week he knew how again, pouring in five in six days before returning to his carousel of injuries and bad bounces. So let's take a moment to watch the five goals he did score, as we begin our annual, player-by-player look at every goal the Canucks scored last season with the man that closed last year's series: Alex Burrows.Continue Reading —›
Why is Alex Burrows so sad in the above photo? Maybe it's because he knows new coach John Tortorella plans to give his job, that plum position to the right of the Sedins, to Zack Kassian. Not cool, Torts.
For the past five seasons, Burrows has been to the twins what the Doomsday Device was to the Legion of Doom, or the Dudley Death Drop was to the Dudley Boyz: a legendary finisher. Ever since being paired with the pair, Burrows has been a lock for around 30 goals per season. That said, last season was his least productive in that role. It was the first time he's failed to score at a 28-goal pace since 2008-09, his first season on the top line. So maybe it is time for a change?
If 2013 was Burrows' last as the third Sedin, while it didn't go as well as it normally does, it didn't go too terribly, either. He finished the year with 13 goals, good for the Canucks' team lead in scoring. Not too shabby — as ways to go out go, "on top" is always preferable. We close this year's player-by-player look at every goal scored last season with the man they call Burr.Continue Reading —›
Daniel Sedin scored just 12 goals in 2013, a total with which he, like most of us, was disappointed. "That wasn't good enough," he told Brad Ziemer at the Sun, "It's disappointing, but I know I can score more. I scored 40 once and I would like to be up there again. I still feel like I can produce a lot more than I have the last two years."
Daniel explained that, from where he's standing, it's mostly about percentages. His shooting percentage was down, which is bad luck, but the best way to get it up to where it normally sits is to do it more and kill that small sample size so the averages sort themselves out. Math!
"For me, if I can get three-and-a-half to four shots a game my shooting percentage is usually around 13 or 14 per cent," he said. "That is going to put me right there goal-wise. That is key for me, to think shot and if I can get three or four it's going to become some goals, I think."
Love that last sentence. Occasionally you're reminded English is Daniel's second language. Anyway, while Daniel may not have scored with his usual regularity, he still potted a dozen. Let's take a look at the twelve times his shot "became some goals" in 2013.Continue Reading —›
Here's how this works at the Every Goal series: score twice in the season and you get your own post. Score just once, however, and you have to endure the shame of being lumped in with all the other singularities from the season that was. This year, that's a list that includes two former Canucks in Aaron Volpatti and Andrew Ebbett, and two current Canucks in Tom Sestito… and David Booth.
Yes, David Booth, who is being paid a lot of money to score more goals than just one. It's even worse when you consider that his goal was effectively a pity gift from Max Lapierre, who really shouldn't be in a position to pity a guy making $4 million a year.
Now, in Booth's defence, you really can't have worse luck on the ice. His scoring chances didn't go, and he battled both a groin strain at the beginning of the season and a season-ending high ankle sprain not long after he finally returned. But even still, let's hope that sharing a category with Volpatti, Ebbett and Booth is all the motivation he needs to do better next year, because, I mean, seriously.Continue Reading —›
There weren't a lot of bright spots for the Canucks last season, but if I had to put my finger on one, it'd be Chris Higgins beard. And I mean literally put my finger on one. That beard seems downright tuggable, like Kris Kringle's beard in Miracle on 34th Street. (Sidenote: Did you know Dylan McDermott was in that together? As soon as I pulled up the trailer and saw him sharing the screen with Sarah Paulson lookalike Elizabeth Perkins, I thought I was watching an episode of American Horror Story: Asylum. And when Santa appeared, I was certain I was. But alas.)
Of course, Higgins was fun to watch last season for more reasons than simply having the team's best beard. He also had a pretty good season, scoring 10 goals and being rewarded for his production — not to mention his strong forecheck and ability to play up and down the lineup — with a four-year contract extension. Here are 10 reasons that extension seems like a pretty good idea.Continue Reading —›
Hey, remember Derek Roy? Acquired by the Canucks amid all the trade deadline moves, Roy was supposed to give the Canucks three stable lines and make them a deep, formidable foe in the postseason. But, after showing flashes of promise as the club ran out the rest of the schedule, Roy followed the advice of self-help band Radiohead and disappeared completely. Understandably, the Canucks showed little interest in re-signing the centre, and off he went to St. Louis, along with Max Lapierre.
I think most Vancouver fans would like to forget he was ever here at this point. But we can't — not just yet. He scored three goals, which means he gets an entry in the Every Goal series. Rules are rules, friends. Let's get this over with.Continue Reading —›
It was a strange season for the Sedins, who have grown accustomed to starting most of their shifts in the offensive zone and focusing mainly on creating offence. Unfortunately, a series of injuries to Ryan Kesler forced them into a more defensive role and slowed up the offensive production of the first powerplay unit. As a result, they didn't produce quite as much offence as they usually do.
Even still, they still produced some. Henrik Sedin, in fact, scored 11 goals, only three off his total in the 82-game 2011-12 season. But, like I said, it was a weird year, and the way in which these goals were scored gives evidence to that. On several, Henrik and Alex Burrows trade bodies. Two are empty-netters, one of which is shorthanded. One is scored on a Daniel Sedin one-timer with Henrik plying the net-front presence. It's just wacky, uncharacteristic stuff.
Although there's still some Sedinery. I know that's what you're here for and there's a definitely a smattering of it in this entry. Enjoy.Continue Reading —›

CunninLynguists on Last.fm
CunninLynguists are a hip hop trio from Lexington, Kentucky and Atlanta, Georgia. The group currently consists of Deacon the Villain, Kno, and Natti. The name is a portmanteau of the words cunning and linguist, and is also a play on the word cunnilingus. There has never been an anomaly in hip-hop quite like the southern trio CunninLynguists. Sampling genres from psych-rock to blues, New Romantic to polka, they have been musically compared to UGK and Atmosphere in the same breath. They have toured and shared stages with Kanye West and Aesop Rock to equal success.

December 10, 2012
A federal grand jury is investigating the awarding of the $38 million contract to run the District of Columbia lottery, and numerous officials are under scrutiny.
People familiar with the investigation say authorities are looking for evidence of crimes including bribery and steering of contracts. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because they've been instructed not to impede the ongoing investigation.
The lottery contract was awarded to Greek gaming giant Intralot in 2009. The process illustrates systemic problems that open the door for elected officials to play politics with the contracting process.
And the investigation raises further questions about corruption in the beleaguered city government. Mayor Vincent Gray's 2010 campaign is the subject of a long-running investigation, and two councilmembers resigned this year after pleading guilty to felonies.

Monthly Note on Economic Recovery in Manufacturing, Construction and Selected Service Industries Published on: 11/07/2010, Last update: 28/04/2014
After several months of a strong recovery, the latest data show that the pace of the recovery in manufacturing industry has slowed slightly in April compared with the strong increase in the first quarter. Nevertheless, industrial confidence continued to improve in May despite the troubles in financial markets.
Data on manufacturing production for April 2010 show growth of almost 8% over the previous year and an improvement of some 3% over the last three months. Manufacturing production has now increased in ten out of the last eleven months. Output in April was nonetheless still over 14% below its former peak in early 2008. There are also some tentative indications that construction output has now begun to stabilise after a very substantial fall of some 15% from its earlier peak. The latest data and forecasts for tourism from the beginning of 2010 indicate that the revival is underway in this sector as well.

These pictures took me Back to the past when i first saw this superb movie and had so much fun watching it on the tv with my friends and cousins ,Hope you have the same memories of this amazing trilogy .wish to see part 4 of this series but i guess its too late for that .
Here's a great collection of rare behind the scenes photos for Robert Zemekis' classic film Back to the Future.
This is one of my favorite film trilogies of all time, and it's very cool to get a candid behind the scenes look at these classic movies.
The image directly above shows you just how many people it took to make Marty McFly's future 2015 jacket actually work.
There had to have been a better, more efficient way to do that.

It's pretty easy to tell if the girl is clear about it and not shy. Or it can also be clear if she just dodges you or does something obvious that lets you know she doesn't like you that way.
There's this chick from work that I like. I managed to get her number but she is out of town for a month. I think she knows I'm interested in her since I obviously asked for her number and told her she was cute (indirectly that is). When we talk she doesn't look at me in the eye all the time - she will for a while but then look away. She's a bit shy i noticed.
Back to topic title. How do you know if a shy girl likes you?

You will most commonly come across this wonderfully expressive word for a commotion or fuss in Britain and the British Commonwealth countries (though the White House spokesman Ari Fleischer used it in January this year). It is rather informal, though it often appears in newspapers.
One of the odder things about it is that it changed its first letter in quite recent times. Up to the 1960s, it was written in all sorts of ways — curfuffle, carfuffle, cafuffle, cafoufle, even gefuffle (a clear indication that its main means of transmission was in speech, being too rarely written down to have established a standard spelling). But in that decade it suddenly became much more popular and settled on the current kerfuffle. Lexicographers suspect the change came in response to the way that a number of imitative words were spelled, like kerplop and kerplunk.
In those cases, the initial ker– adds emphasis, as it does in other words, perhaps onomatopoeic but perhaps also borrowing the first syllable of crash. But we know kerfuffle was originally Scots and it's thought that its first part came from Scots Gaelic car, to twist or bend. The second bit is more of a puzzle: there is a Scots verb fuffle (now known only in local dialect), to throw into disorder, dishevel, or ruffle. No obvious origin for it is known and experts suspect it was an imitative word. It is probably linked with Scots fuff, to emit puffs of smoke or steam, definitely imitative, which in the late eighteenth century also had a sense of going off in a huff or flying into a temper.
Some specialists think kerfuffle is also related to the Irish cior thual, confusion or disorder. It seems to be a minority opinion, though.

This gorgeous home was custom built in the early 90's and features hand peeled log columns, antique oriental rugs, Ralph Lauren fabrics, stone floors, slate in the bathrooms, and a feeling of home. The owner was a private chef and so the kitchen is fabulous and has every thing you could possibly need to prepare a wonderful dinner. Bon Appetite magazine even did a story in this kitchen! The main floor has a mud room as you enter for all your ski gear. You step up to the cozy living room and walk through to the dining room and onto the chef's kitchen. This is next to the family room where the huge collection of music lives. Upstairs there are three bedrooms. The master with a king bed and it's own private bathroom and walk in closet. The view from the tub is of the slopes at Solitude and is the same from the bed. There are three more bedrooms, one with a full bed and a twin bed a second that has two twin beds with pop up trundles that can come up from underneath to do four in total and also a small set of bunk beds for kids. The room is very flexible and the twins can be made into kings. The fourth room is optional and is infact a large studio apartment.

About Sarah Langridge
I purchased the home back in 1990 and did a complete renovation that took 4 years.
I wanted a home that had no bedroom that sat next to another bedroom and would give great privacy to everyone there. I also wanted two living rooms that were separated so activities in one wouldn't interfere with the other. I had been running a small bed and breakfast in Alta for 10 years and so knew what it was in a home that guests wanted. I created it here. I was also a keen chef at the time so the kitchen is very well laid out and is easy to work in even with a crowd.
Sarah Langridge purchased this house in 1991
Why Sarah Langridge chose Solitude
I love to be in the mountains and this canyon has every thing. Uncrowded slopes, great mountain biking. A wonderful cross country track, excellent back country and superb snow shoeing, yet we are only 15 minutes from the base of the canyon. In the summer we are just 25 minutes by car to Park City over the pass on the Guard road.
What makes this house unique
We have sleds in the garage for kids. Snow shoes, games and NetFlix on demand movies. Something for everyone!
Guestbook comments from the owner
The Mitchell's spend about 3 weeks a year or more at the house. We even had ski racks built for them. They leave all their ski gear each time so they can travel back and forth like it's their second home! Their children have made friends with the neighbor kids and every one feels like they have returned home. It's great:)
