Companion forum thread to:The SUL Wanderer (Video Series) - Episode 2: Food & Water
I am really enjoying these videos! Thanks
Great video!I like fires but to me SUL is what I do when I want to travel light and fast. Since that doesn't leave much time for fires I tend to just eat cold food. Yes I miss hot food (sometimes) but the simplicity is great. Its also nice when its raining to just eat my dinner under my tarp then go to bed. Just my preference of course HYOH.I think an article on eating well with cold food would be cool. What are the best "no cook" meals (i.e. not GORP and bars)?

I need to carry a water container in my area. I find the Sawyer superior to the steripen. "never trust your life to something that needs batteries"Good Video

"I think an article on eating well with cold food would be cool. What are the best "no cook" meals (i.e. not GORP and bars)?"+1 - Would really enjoy that. Great video series Ryan!Ryan
I agree about the Steripen. If you are near fresh water for the trip, it's trivial to do a couple potfuls and move on. It can easily save the weight of carrying a pound of water as it "cooks."
We've only started to use Steripens but like them so far. What I've done for backup is through some Iodine tablets in a small plastic bag. Its very light and gives you a backup option if the Steripen fails.
Great video as always! Nice to see a different perspective on SUL. I often wish I could have fires but here in CA they are taboo. Have to stick to my old Esbit standby. Steripen makes me nervous as well. Many times I have really long stretches between watering holes and batteries always seem to fail me when I need them. As you alluded to Ryan, right gear for the right terrain.Please keep them coming! Looking forward to seeing your shelter system in action.
I love how you made your fire remains totally invisible. It looked like a survival skill they would teach you in the military to avoid being tracked. Some people can't understand a fire ever not leaving a trace, but as you just demonstrated it can. I've even cleaned up huge long log fires that I burnt all night long.And I appreciate when people disassemble their fire rings (I never ever make one, I don't see the point). I hate walking up some remote river corridor and finding old fire rings that haven't been used it decades.I hate to nag on people about stuff, but you shouldn't carve wood shavings on a rock. Granfors Bruks axes have very hard steel that holds an edge well on wood but will chip out badly if you hit a rock. I've bucked logs with full size axe and if you miss the log and strike the ground all of the little pebbles in the dirt will make your axe edge look like a steak knife.Fire cooking is cool and all, but you should really do a thing on stoves. Not everyone wants to use a fire.
I haven't built a campfire in the wild in decades. Seems like it was a pretty small fire ring surrounded by a lot of dead leaves and vegetation. Pretty much contrary to what I learned a long time ago.BTW, the video production is excellent. Sound and footage top notch.
What is the purpose of the ring of rocks ? I can understand 2-3 to act as pot supports, but why enclose the fire in a big circle of rocks ?Also why do you mix the forest duff into the dirt afterwards ? Does this somehow restore the soil so that it can grow vegitation ? The LNT guidelines talk about how fires sterilize the soil a few inches deep so nothing will grow there for years - but I've never tested it myself. Maybe I'll build a fire on the lawn this weekend and see how long it takes the grass to grow back.
My fire rings are normally bare spots with no vegetation growing anyway so I doubt I'm doing the forest any harm.
What do you do during the 2-3 months per year of high fire danger, which usually corresponds to prime backpacking season? Out here in the PNW, fires are absolutely forbidden during that time. I've seen burn bans in Colorado and Wyoming, too. In the last year or two, many jurisdictdions also prohibit alcohol stoves during burn bans. While I've always used a canister stove, cold food sounds more and more attractive. 12.0 oz. fuel canister plus 2.5 oz. stove plus 2.0 oz. pot plus 0.8 oz. cozy come to more than the 12 oz. of water I'd be carrying while my food is soaking! Of course, if I catch any fish I'd have to eat them raw.... :-(
VERY nice article Ryan. I like the focus on simplicity and skills as opposed to gear. very well done.
Hi Ryan,Thank you for the video.So you do not like Spectra cord or the cord and rock sack used in the video from Mountain Laurel Designs. What do you recommend then for hanging food/packs?I would love some info on "no cook" food as well.
In one scene it looks like you have freeze dried food in its original package, Any reason you are adding the food to your pot as opposed to adding hot water to the freeze dried food package?
I noticed that about 2:15 you said "adapt your route to the equipment that you're carrying", not "adapt your equipment to the route". Was that a slip of the tongue, or do you choose a route to suit the gear? And to what extent?I can see some sense in "I'm doing a 100 mile trip, and most of it falls naturally near water, so I'll add in a couple of 1 mile diversions to plug the gaps. That simplifies water carrying for the whole trip."
"What is the purpose of the ring of rocks ? I can understand 2-3 to act as pot supports, but why enclose the fire in a big circle of rocks ?"A windscreen, perhaps?
I really enjoy these short videos, informative and well produced!I would make a fire on the rocks instead of making a fire circle of them. This enhances the flow of oxygen and makes the clean up afterwards easier since there's no to little contact with the ground. Another plus is that there's less risk of a root fire.Another option is to use bigger twigs/logs as a base. No innocent rocks will then be harmed. Only reason to make a fire pit is if there's a risk of the fire to spread to the surrounding area, which is unnessesary if the fire is attended.Then again, the circle may have been done for the sole purpose of educating how to remove a circle... /J
"So you do not like Spectra cord or the cord and rock sack used in the video from Mountain Laurel Designs. What do you recommend then for hanging food/packs?"Ryan undobtedly has his own favorites. I avoid ultra fine lines for bear baging. Spectra is good cord, strong and light. But, it is generally way beyond what is actually needed. Stakes pull loose before the line breaks and flinging the stake to all corners, or, if solidly anchored, the tarp can rip. As Ryan mentions, light lines saw into trees when hauling up more than 4-5 pounds, often wedging/sticking into the bark making the bag difficult to pull up. If you cut into the bark further, the tree can exude sap, glueing the line into place come morning. I have had trouble getting a 5 pound bag down! I prefer a dyneema line that will flatten slightly when you pull up a 15 pound bear bag. It tends to flatten over a branch increasing the surface area a bit. I use a heavier 3mm line, 40' or so. Stretch is usually minimal. The line itself is fairly stiff. This handles better in the scrub normally found in forest floors. Limp line, like paracord, has a way of finding all the snags. I purchased about 200' of 3mm "whip" line 10-12 years ago. I am still using it today.

But what about the game that fans have demanded a remake of for the better part of a decade. What about Final Fantasy VII? It was released on the PC way back in 1998. Why has it never received a fan-made remaster?
Simple answer? It has.
For over a decade fans have been modding the PC version of Final Fantasy VII. There have been countless updates to the monster and character models, world map, cutscenes, music, and battle stages during the past 14 years. So many, in fact, that the hardest problem is figuring out which combination of the hundreds upon hundreds of mods will get the best graphical results.
While several mod collections like Final Fantasy VII Ultima Edition and Final Fantasy VII Remix have come out over the years, it only takes a few months for the included mods to become obsolete. Thus enters the mod managing program Bootleg.
After installing a retail copy of the game (and the proper patches/drivers to make it run on current operating systems), Bootleg provides you with several helpful presets for the best possible presentation and then shows you where to download the mods you will need. Once you have all the mods downloaded, Bootleg will patch the game into all its remastered splendor.
So while Final Fantasy VII Bootleg may not be the official PS3 remake fans have been waiting for, it is, without a doubt, the next best thing. And if you're ready to start your own Final Fantasy VII remastered adventure, then just head over to YouTube user EQ2Alyza channel for links to all the programs and tutorials you will need to get it up and running yourself. But be warned, to get it looking like his video (shown above) takes around 20 gigabytes of mods—though if that seems like a bit too much, you can always just watch the rest of his Final Fantasy VII Bootleg playthrough on his channel.

It was a warm Easter this year with rain showers, which isn't as rare as you may think.
The high temperature for Easter Sunday, 2013 was 58 degrees, well above the daily average of 48, in Buffalo. Rainfall was measured at the Buffalo Airport at 0.08".
Looking back at high temperatures for Easter over the past 12 years, about half of the Easter Sundays were at or above average, and half had precipitation, mainly in the form of rain.
However, take the data with a grain of salt since Easter can fall on a Sunday in March or even in late April.
Note: My current meteorology intern, Chase, helped me with these stats. Yes, he interned on Easter. That's how it is in this business. Work odd hours and most holidays. Have to really love what you do!

Prepare yourselves, dear readers, because this fall the fashion industry is going mod. Not mad, mind you-quite the opposite, in fact-just wonderfully worshiping of the swinging sixties and that era's iconic early looks. Whether it's a dropped-waist coatdress or an A-line frock with an unconventional collar, designers are bringing back the mod dress and giving the streamlined, minimal silhouette a fresh update. With a clean, chic, and fuss-free look, it should come as no surprise that mod dresses are also an appealing after-hours pick for a number of fashionphiles, like Hailee Steinfeld and Michelle Williams, as well as an excellent subject for today's Trend Report!
Now, before we dive into our present-day runway examples, we'd like to first take a minute to talk about the woman who popularized the mod look: Twiggy! The British model-best remembered for her slender shape, pixie haircut, and voluminous lashes-was at the height of her career when the modernist movement originated in London during the early-to-mid sixties and epitomized the mod look with her androgynous features and affinity for short hemlines and straight-up-and-down silhouettes. In the image above (taken on August 6, 1966), Twiggy wore a textured white minidress with Mary-Jane flats, which quickly became the style icon's signature look.
Today, mod dresses are appearing all over the runways, but of all the F/W 11 collections to look to for inspiration, we suggest starting with the veterans: Yves Saint Laurent and Prada. Both fashion houses channeled the '60s enthusiastically, updating the timeless mod dress by giving it an intriguing outerwear twist. For the Yves Saint Laurent show, Stefano Pilati sent out A-line coats, like the Black Tweed Sleeveless Coat with Patent Leather and Chain Details ($4575), which were worn to look like dresses and paired with knee-high Wedge Boots ($1595), resulting in a cool, schoolgirl take on the trend. And while Miuccia Prada also turned out mod-inspired coatdresses, the designer opted for a straighter narrow, more conservative cut. Especially noteworthy was the way she coupled the white Gabardine Natte Coat ($2930, select Prada boutiques) with the Castoro Spitz Bonnet ($760, select Prada boutiques) and Suede and Lurex Boots ($1400, select Prada boutiques). The combination of luxurious fabrics along with the pseudo heel-and-socks boots give the overall outfit a decidedly chic and feminine allure. Of course, coatdresses weren't the only mod-inspired frocks on the runways! Over at the Calvin Klein Collection show, we came across the Slate Double Faced Flannel Zip Placket Dress ($2495, 212.292.9000), and were immediately drawn to its of-the-moment silvery hue and classic cut.
Now that you're caught up to speed about the past and current origins of this classic silhouette, it's time to discuss how some of your favorite stylish ladies are addressing the trend. And interestingly enough, all three of today's featured celebs picked mod dresses with visually intriguing accents. For example, Michelle Williams showed up at the New York screening of Meek's Cutoff earlier this year wearing a taupe Chanel dress from the S/S 11 collection with a pair of basic black pumps. The frock's black sequined cap sleeves keep the retro design feeling current while giving the overall look a dose of glamour. Hailee Steinfeld, on the other hand, caught our attention when shore wore Miu Miu's Blush Pink Cady Silk Dress with Pearl and Crystal Embroidered Collar (price upon request, select Miu Miu boutiques) to the screening of said fashion house's second short film MUTA in Beverly Hills last month. We were particularly pleased with how the unconventional collar adds just the right amount of interest to the otherwise clean and polished ensemble. And while both Williams and Steinfeld opted for conservative, knee-length hemlines, we also appreciate Beau Garrett's daring minidress-Rachel Zoe's Sleeveless Flower Sequin Shift Dress ($495), to be exact-that she wore to an InStyle dinner celebrating the stylist/designer back in June. The short hemline is a nod to the classic mod dresses worn by the likes of Twiggy and Jean Shrimpton.
If you're ready to embrace this retro trend, we have a lovely selection of dresses that are sure to give you the mod look. Minimalist seekers should snag DKNY's Crepe Silk Dress ($275); the vibrant red hue is a spot-on choice for both summer and fall. Additionally, we're fond of Gap's Colorblock Pleat-Neck Dress ($60) and Zara's Dress with Side Zip ($60), and think both would look smart teamed with simple neutral accents. If you're a fan of Garrett's white minidress, you'll definitely want to check it out in black-the Peggy Sequin Shift Dress ($495)-for your next girls' night out, or try Rachel Zoe's Cap Sleeve Dress ($325), which is more subdued, yet equally stylish. Also, be sure to check out Imitation's Kiki Dress ($295) if you're interested in recreating the Twiggy outfit, above, or Zara's Dress with Box-Pleated Skirt ($90) if it's Prada's dropped-waist silhouette you're after. Want something with a little more pizzazz? We thought you might, and as such, have included Phoebe Couture's Sequined A-Line Dress ($350) and Lipsy Love's Pixie Lott Embellished Peter Pan Color Shift Dress ($52); the latter comes in a bright coral hue and has a jewel-embellished collar, making it a must-buy choice for those who enjoyed Hailee Steinfeld's noteworthy look.-Jessica Baker

Detailed Description:
Chronic migraine (occurring 15 or more days per month) is a disabling disorder that engenders significant personal suffering and healthcare costs. Frequently, individuals with chronic migraine also suffer from symptoms of insomnia, the regulation of which has been shown to improve migraine. A variety of effective and well-validated behavioral treatments exist to reduce symptoms of insomnia but have not been widely applied to migraine patients. The goal of this study is to pilot test and compare the efficacy of 2 different behavioral (non-medication) treatments for chronic migraine, one of which addresses insomnia symptoms and one of which addresses general lifestyle changes, on headache and sleep parameters. Patients will be adults (18-65) diagnosed with chronic migraine and insomnia at the Oxford Neurology Clinic when they present for routine medical appointments. They will be maintained on usual medical care and referred to the Psychological Services Center for collection of baseline data and administration of the behavioral interventions. At baseline participants will be administered a structured interview and questionnaires pertaining to headache symptoms, sleep problems, and depression/anxiety. They will keep a daily diary of headache variables for 2 weeks and wear an actigraph on their wrist during baseline. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either the a treatment focused on modifying general lifestyle behaviors (Lifestyle Modification; a replication of the instructions from Calhoun and Ford, 2007) or making changes to their sleep behaviors (Sleep Management) for 3 brief (20-30 min) sessions, spaced 2 weeks apart. Treatments will entail education/rationale about the intervention and a review of a set of instructions unique to each condition. Subsequent sessions will ensure compliance with the respective instructions. Daily monitoring of headache symptoms will continue throughout the trial. Participants will complete the aforementioned questionnaires at 2 posttreatment follow-up visits and wear the actigraph again for 2 week periods surrounding the 2 follow-up visits.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 65 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adult patients aged 18-65 diagnosed with chronic migraine (15 or more days with headache per month, most of which must be migraine) and insomnia who present for routine medical care for migraine.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Currently pregnant or breastfeeding, being unable to read or speak English at a 6th grade level, alcohol or substance abuse or dependence, bipolar disorder or seizure disorder, psychiatric hospitalization within the last year, medication overuse headache, and patients not stable on current migraine medications.

- How to Read a Study Record
In a French multicenter double blind randomized controlled trial, the main objective is to demonstrate that, after 6 months of oral anticoagulation for a first episode of idiopathic proximal deep vein thrombosis, 18 months of warfarin therapy is associated with a lower cumulative risk of recurrent VTE and major bleeding in comparison with that on 18 months of placebo. The secondary objectives are: (1) to determine the risk of recurrent VTE after 6 months of warfarin therapy and the presence or the absence of residual lung scan perfusion defect and the persistence or not of elevated D-dimer test; and (2), to determine the impact of extended duration of anticoagulation on the risk of VTE after stopping anticoagulant therapy on a follow-up of 2 years.

Influenza is so widespread in Northern New York that the Jefferson County Public Health Service cannot even keep up with the number of confirmed cases.
Jefferson County health planner Faith E. Lustik said the last total the agency had was 733 laboratory-confirmed cases as of Dec. 12. Ms. Lustik said she couldnt even guess what the number would be now because there are several new confirmed cases being reported in the county daily.
Its too many now, she said.
Cases will continue to rise, she said. As children return to school from holiday gatherings and travel, Ms. Lustik said, the virus most likely will spread more rapidly.
Meanwhile, Laurie B. Maki, St. Lawrence County public health preventive services supervisor, said although the numbers arent as dramatic in her county, theyre steadily increasing.
All emergency rooms here are reporting flu cases, she said. Three of our long-term care facilities in the county have reported outbreaks also. If people are sick, they really shouldnt visit anyone in the hospital or a long-term care facility.
She said there were 182 confirmed flu cases as of Dec. 22. Widespread throughout St. Lawrence County, Mrs. Maki said, flu cases now occur daily there.
That is also the story in Lewis County, where there have been 225 confirmed cases.
On average, were getting five to six cases a day, and its completely throughout the county, said Marcia M. Ashline, Lewis County supervising public health nurse.
While the typical flu season peak isnt until around February, Mrs. Ashline said, Lewis County will just be more prepared then.
Area public health agencies, she said, also could use a little help from people who have yet to get the vaccine. Flu vaccines are available at pharmacies throughout the north country, and some are available at public health agencies, for a fee.
One phone call we got from the state is that it seemed like a number of confirmed cases were from people who didnt get the vaccine, Mrs. Maki said.
Ms. Lustik said there have been few influenza B cases. Most influenza cases in Jefferson County and most of the north country are influenza A.
Statewide, the flu has been reported in 57 of 62 counties and in the five boroughs of New York City. There has been one pediatric death in the state and six nationwide.
According to the state Department of Healths most recent statewide influenza surveillance report, dated Dec. 22, there have been 10,721 confirmed flu cases for the 2012-13 flu season.

By RICHARD SHAWStaff reporter
Remember the old fairy tale about the kittens who lost their mittens?
"Three little kittens, they lost their mittens, and they began to cry."
It seems that it is that way with mittens or in our case a "Mitt." People cried when he left Utah to go back to Massachusetts where the Republican party was also crying because they needed him to shore up their beleaguered party in the Bay State. Despite the fact that they already had a GOP governor, Jane Swift, many in the party felt he would be much more electable than she would be.
Of course speculation ran rampant when Romney was selected to run the Olympics that he would remain in Utah and eventually run for political office here, probably the governors job when it was vacated by friend Mike Leavitt. The rumor goes that Leavitt is in line to run for senator when Orrin Hatch retires.
A third state, or kitten as we can call it, also entered into the picture as well. Romney was born in Michigan, the son of the famous George Romney who was not only called the "Lee Iacocca" of his day for saving American Motors Corporation in 1957, but went on to capture three terms as governor of the Wolverine State. Republicans in that state would like to see the return of a home grown Romney to their land in the middle of Great Lakes country.
So all three kittens were crying the end of March because at least two of them would lose their "Mitt."
It was then that Romney returned home to Massachusetts, where he has lived full time and had business connections for over 30 years, where he took on Ted Kennedy in the 1994 for the senate and came closer to beating him than any candidate in history, and held a news conference.
At that point he said he was home and was there to stay. Despite his apparent huge success in Utah and with the Olympics, he hardly even mentioned us, except to call the Beehive State, "out there."
We are certainly used to being called things like that.
So he dropped off the local radar screens until last week when lo and behold he showed up back here in good old Utah.
This time looking for money.
Apparently the money in Massachusetts is not good enough to support his campaign so he got his friends to set up a couple of fund raisers for him.
The first was a $5000 a couple luncheon (for that price I hope they had some great appetizers) that was run for him by John Huntsman. It appears a little over 30 people showed up for that event at the Huntsman Chemical world headquarters.
That evening he was set to dine with Leavitt and about 100 close friends at a dinner which went for $500 a plate at the Union Pacific Railroad Station in downtown Salt Lake.
According to reports he garnered about a quarter of million dollars in the one day in Salt Lake. Money for him to run for the governor of Massachusetts.
Now, people can spend their money any way they want; that's their business. But this is a state that is presently in a huge financial crisis according to our governor and those in the legislature. And I also know in the realm of things, $250,000 is not a lot of money, when we are looking at deficits in multiples of millions of dollars.
But tell that to the guys who got laid off at CEU last month because of the shortfall.
Tell that to the thousands of teachers who will have more kids in their classrooms next year because of the lack of funds.
Tell that to state programs that will have to be cut to the point where some seniors won't receive the benefits they need to just survive.
Now I understand the relevancy of having powerful friends in high places. But the governor of Massachusetts has less power over anything that happens in Utah than any under secretary of the under secretary of any department in the U.S. government.
So what's the point? Is it just that these contributors have such a strong friendship with Mitt that they want to help? Or is there more here than meets the eye when it comes to where Mitt is headed in the future?
It has often been reported that Orin Hatch was brought to Utah from Pennsylvania in the early 1970's to defeat then Democratic Senator Frank Moss. Technically that was not true. Hatch didn't move to Utah just before the 1976 election when he defeated Moss. He had been here seven years, having moved a law practice to Utah after growing up in Pennsylvania.
And he did have Utah ties, somewhat like Romney. Actually, he had ties to Carbon County. His parents had met in Hiawatha when they were young and were later married in the midwest.
Mitt's ties go back to his father and the prominent Romney family here in Utah.
Even though he is running for governor of Massachusetts right now, one has to ask if there is a back up play on the drawing board just in case he doesn't win? He apparently still owns a home in Utah, and just like Hillary Clinton could switch states at the blink of an eye to run for something here.
There is no question that Romney did a good job running the Olympics although one police officer near Snow Basin said he wasn't very polite when he decided to take over traffic direction on the second day of the events there however.
I guess you can't do everything right.
All I can say is that there is more than meets the eye going on here, and I worry that it is the typical "meet behind closed doors" kind of politics that have been going on since one party started to dominate the political scene in Utah during the 1970's.
In the end, the kittens in the fairy tale got their mittens back, subsequently soiled them, had them washed and then got some pie. They also smelled a mouse close by.
Maybe we should be smelling a little larger rodent.

40th Anniversary Law Conference Brought the Law to the People
The Bar Association's 40th Anniversary Law Conference, held last Saturday, was a huge success. The event was well attended and brought important legal issues straight to the people. Roy Hall gave a fascinating, and at times humorous, account of the Bar Association's history. Judge Patea introduced the Bar to JustWare, the High Court's new case management software. Sharron Rancourt presented the first Arthur A. Morrow Justice Award to an emotional Ipu Lefiti. Nathan Mease moderated a timely panel discussion on citizenship in American Samoa. The panel included Fainu'ulelei Falefatu Uiagalelei, Charles Alailima, Roy Hall, and Afoa Moega Lutu. It was a lively discussion that laid out many of the legal and political issues, while responding to questions from the public.

40th Anniversary Law Conference
The American Samoa Bar Association is pleased to announce its 40th Anniversary Law Conference to be held at the American Samoa Community College Auditorium on April 28, 2012. Beginning at 1:00pm, the Bar will be hosting a series of events to celebrate 40 years of promoting justice in American Samoa. The conference will include a presentation on the history of the Bar Association, the awarding of the first annual Arthur A. Morrow Justice Award, a panel discussion on citizenship and what it means for American Samoa, and a presentation on the High Court's revised case management system.
This event is free and open to the public. This is a great opportunity to learn about key legal issues and gain valuable insights into the administration of justice in the Territory.
The Bar Discusses the 14th Amendment
The Bar will be hosting a happy hour at Maliu Mai this evening (March 5) from 5pm - 9pm. In attendance will be Mr. Neil Weare from the Constitutional Accountability Center (CAC) in Washington, DC. Mr. Weare is working on a federal case that would attempt to apply the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment to the territories, making all territorial citizens constitutional US citizens. He would like to meet with the Bar to discuss the case and the opinions of the Bar. Obviously, such a case could have wide-ranging implications for the territory, so it is encouraged that everyone come out tonight to discuss. Attached is a brief summary of the issue, and more information about CAC can be found at http://www.theusconstitution.org/.

DOOR OPENED FOR KOSKINEN: Mannino not QOed; Finn to attend prospect camp, sets goal of AHL
A highly placed source told Point Blank this morning that while Nathan Lawson has received a Qualifying Offer, fellow Bridgeport netminder Peter Mannino will not.
This opens the door for goaltender Mikko Koskinen, the Islanders' second round pick (31st overall) on Saturday, to sign with the Islanders this summer and play for the team's AHL affiliate in Bridgeport. A source close to the Finnish goaltender told us late last night that Koskinen will attend the Islanders' Prospect Camp in two weeks and hopes an entry level contract can be finalized by the end of July.
A late bloomer passed up in three drafts before yesterday, the 6-7 goalie has an escape clause in his contract with Espoo of the Finnish League and plans on using it. Last season with Espoo, Koskinen – who will be 21 on July 18 – was 17-7-9 with a 1.91 goals against average and .931 save percentage.
Koskinen has true believers and detractors all over the game. One described him to PB as a "Steve Valiquette-type project who could be a nice backup," while another countered, "_____ no, he has the potential to be a lot more than that. He could possibly develop into a No. 1 in 3-4 years."
In an interview for the team's website, chief European scout Vellu Pekka-Kautonen told Steve Mears of personally requesting Sudsie Maharaj to come to Finland to watch Koskinen. The goalie consultant saw him play 4 games in 8 nights and became a major advocate.
(Kautonen also says of Koskinen, "I'd say he'd need a half-season, full season in Bridgeport and then he'd be ready to play in the NHL." Hey, easy does it with the hype, Vellu).
The Islanders have two goalie coaches in Mike Dunham and Maharaj to put the time in with Koskinen. They also have a head coach in Scott Gordon and GM in Garth Snow who were goaltenders. With the board to themselves when Saturday's portion of the draft began, the Islanders passed up several top defense and forward prospects to grab Koskinen. To say a lot is riding on the pick is an understatement.
At least they know he's committed to developing as an Islander in North America, beginning with Prospect Camp on Long Island in two weeks. And with Nathan Lawson currently the only goalie option in Bridgeport, there is a spot open for Koskinen.
Comments on this story only.

Quieter Environment Through Sound Thinking (QUEST)
Madison, NJ 07940 (map)
If you're annoyed by noise from aircraft, and are concerned about the ever-increasing amount of jet and helicopter traffic finding its way to the Morristown Municipal Airport at all hours of the day and night, then you've come to the right place. QUEST is a grass-roots community organization dedicated to doing something about this growing noise problem.
QUEST stands for QUieter Environment through Sound Thinking. It was founded in 1998 by a handful of volunteers and has been working ever since to seek solutions to this problem. We helped launch the Morris County Aviation Committee, which has begun a number of initiatives, including the identification of additional "Noise Sensitive Areas" for helicopter routes. These are marked on airport maps provided to pilots. Small improvements to the arrival path have been achieved as well. Admittedly, hardly a panacea, but we'll continue to work for (and sometimes achieve) practical improvements.

- See what's in the news.
- Find out who's who.
- Contribute to the cause. [QUEST is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit, tax-exempt organization in NJ]
After a relatively "quiet" period, there seems to be plans for another round of expansion at Morristown Airport. QUEST members were admittedly caught off guard -- and a bit disappointed. We hoped we would have gotten a heads-up from MMU representatives who participate with us in the Freeholders Morris County Airport Advisory Committee meetings. (Kudos to Freeholder Director Margaret Nordstrom her continued hard work to keep this important group going. She really takes this issue seriously and has been a strong leader.)
Check out the Daily Record articles for details about the expansion, and an additional article on noise concerns related to activity at Teterboro. It's great to see the Daily Record giving these important stories coverage. (You'll see our own Bill List quoted.)

BRANTINGHAM When the credits roll on the last movie this weekend at Valley Brook Drive-In, it will be the last film to run at the 61-year-old facility.
Its digital or nothing from now on, owner Michael D. Dekin said.
Last year, Mr. Dekin and others in his line of work faced the decree from the motion picture industry that an upgrade to digital equipment would be mandatory. However, that action was delayed until now.
Mr. Dekin said he received word recently from his Hollywood suppliers that if he wants to open next year, hell have no choice but to go digital.
Theres already no film left, he said.
The new equipment comes with a hefty price tag.
The lowest I can find is $51,000, Mr. Dekin said, Thats a demo model.
Though a used item such as the demo model seems like the best option, he said, theres no guarantees.
Because the equipment is so new, no one knows how long it will last.
A brand new system costs closer to $60,000.
Thats astronomical to a business only open three months out of the year, Mr. Dekin said.
Hollywood takes 60 to 70 percent right off the top, he said. He noted his admission prices are much lower than indoor movie theaters. Admission to the drive-in for adults is $5, with children ages 7 to 11 charged $1 and children younger than 7 admitted free.
This weekends showing is a triple feature of Planes, Despicable Me 2 and Grown Ups 2. The first movie starts at sunset.
Mr. Dekin said he isnt sure how he will raise the money to reopen next year, but is confident, he said, one way or another, we will be open next spring.

A two-year-long non-partisan study has concluded it is "indisputable" that the United States engaged in the practice of torture in the years following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The 577-page report by the Constitution Project also makes clear that the highest officials of the U.S. government were responsible. The policy is unprecedented in the United States, the report said, in "the kind of considered and detailed discussions that occurred after 9/11 directly involving a president and his top advisers on the wisdom, propriety and legality of inflicting pain and torment on some detainees in our custody."
The study, by an 11-member panel convened by the Constitution Project, a legal research and advocacy group, was to be released on Tuesday morning, the New York Times reported, though by Tuesday noon, it still had not been posted on the organization's website. The panel was co-chaired by former Congressman Asa Hutchinson, a Republican from Arkansas, and James R. Jones, a Democrat and a former ambassador to Mexico.
Both former President George W. Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney have admitted authorizing waterboarding of high-ranking al-Qaeda prisoners, a process that simulates drowning for a detainee who is tied to a board while water is poured down his nose and throat. The report says the CIA also slammed detainees into walls, chained them in uncomfortable positions for hours, stripped them of clothing, and kept them awake for days on end. A series of memos from the Office of Legal Counsel from the U.S. Department of Justice during the Bush administration claimed the methods, officially known as "enhanced interrogation techniques," were legal under certain conditions. While human rights organizations and some news commentators denounced the measures as "torture," most major news organizations shied away from the word. As the Times acknowledged Tuesday: "News organizations have wrestled with whether to label the brutal methods unequivocally as torture in the face of some government officials' claims that they were not."

Hi, i would like to get a premium or pro account Im a CTF and CA player!
Hi, i would like to get a premium or pro account Im a CTF and CA player!
Doesn't hurt to try though
hey im new to ql and stil trying to learn ctf ways from few buddies
id love to see the ctf scene grow and get every standart person in so everyone could enyoj prem
and its a kind tought of you sir
im going to give away 1 month premium tokens to trial the people who we're not chosen ,
trial will check if they are really CTF enthusiast or just blabber to get a token
trial will check if they also play all gametypes and not an addicted Guinea pig for duel / ca * only , this trial doesnt apply for CTF
why CTF? go read post by post from this thread.
There are not always CTF games though and there are only mostly Duel and CA games so it will be harder to try to play more CTF. Are there 2 trials or just one or the other?
Last edited by eduguy; 03-17-2013 at 06:33 PM.
I have already applied but I didn't play much CTF then.
I have played Quake Live for almost 5 months.
I love CTF.
I don't play much CA(though you will see lots of CA games played on my profile because I used to play lots of it)
I only play CTF, duel, and a bit of CA.
If you would prefer to not give me a token(or trial) because I like Duel and I don't play lots of different game types, I am okay and I understand.
il trial u up tonight
please dont base ur showings with opinion , theirs a logical formula in how to compare CTF among other gametypes ,when comparing 1 CTF game of 5v5 , instant run's and spawn in action / seeking life / more activity in momentum....
when u see 1 CTF game of 5v5 its like 3 games of CA in action
past statistics " europe runs with 20 to 40 CTF games , and around 50 to 80 CA games , they are in my an others will vouch on these statistics are equal in weight "
some1 mentioned that i have to start making prizing for tokens or real cash vouchers.
i will gladly do so in the near future if some1 will help me setup the works by also providing me which city or country have issues with CTF + TDM games in activity and so we can promote them in their areas.
All of NA has some inactivity with CTF.
Have a nice FALL!
(o^.^o) PIKA PIKA!

When the NY Rangers announced they were going forward with Alain
Vigneault at the helm, many wondered who would be joining him on the trek. The
Blueshirts announced today that Ulf Samuelsson and Daniel Lacroix will be
rejoining the team as Assistant Coaches, and Scott Arniel has been named as the
team's Associate Coach.
Arniel spent ten years in the NHL as a player for the
Winnipeg Jets (twice) and Buffalo Sabres before finishing his NHL playing days
in Boston with the Bruins. His 1984-85 season saw him put up 44 points (22 g) and gave him his only taste
of 2nd round playoff action in the NHL. His career ended in the IHL
playing seven seasons in San Diego, Houston, Utah and Manitoba before calling
it a career.
As a coach, Arniel went on to coach Manitoba in the AHL for
four seasons (starting in 2006-07), finishing 1st in the division
twice, and making the playoffs every season, advancing to the Calder Cup Final during
the 2008-09 campaign. He led the Moose to their highest win and point totals
(107 points, 50 wins) in team history that same year, and was awarded the Louis
A.R. Pieri Memorial Award as the AHL coach of the year. Arniel was the coach of
the Blue Jackets for a season and a half (exactly 123 game) from 2010-2012,
finishing with a record of 45-60-18, before returning to the AHL in 2012-13
coaching Chicago. Arniel spent six years as an assistant coach for both the
Buffalo Sabres and Manitoba (two former teams).
Samuellson spent the last two seasons as the Head Coach of
the Swedish Hockey League's Modo Hockey, posting a 38-15-16-41 record and
advancing to the playoffs both seasons. During his tenure with the Phoenix
Coyotes as an associate coach, between 2006-2011, the Coyotes made two playoff
runs, and Phoenix also posted a franchise record 50 wins and 107 points.
Lacroix, spent six of the last seven seasons in the NHL as
an Assistant Coach with both the Lightning and Islanders. He served three seasons
each with Tampa Bay (2010-13) and New York (2006-09) and advanced to the
playoffs on two occasions, with the Lightning in 2010-11 and with the Islanders
in 2006-07.
Lacroix spent one season as an Assistant Coach with the
Hamilton Bulldogs in AHL for their 2009-10 campaign. He helped guide the
Bulldogs to franchise records with 52 wins and 115 points to finish atop the
Western Conference standings, even advancing to the Conference Finals that
season where they were eliminated in seven games by the Texas Stars. He started
as an Assistant Coach with the Moncton Wildcats of the QMJHL for four seasons
from 2002-06. During his tenure, the Wildcats posted a 172-77-21-12 record and
advanced to the President's Cup Final twice (2003-04, 2005-06), including an
appearance in the 2006 Memorial Cup Tournament. In 2004-05, Lacroix also served
as Moncton's interim Head Coach mid-way through the season, compiling a 8-8-4-1
record through the final 21 games of the season, and the Wildcats made it to
the second round of the playoffs.
Lacroix was drafted by the Blueshirts in the second round (31st
overall) in the 1987 NHL Entry Draft and appeared in 188 career games over
seven seasons as a player with the Rangers (1993-94; 1995-96), Bruins (1994-95),
Flyers (1996-98), Oilers (1998-99), and Islanders (1999-00). For his career,
the left winger scored eleven goals and seven assists (18 points), along with
379 penalty minutes. For the Rangers he scored four points (two goals, two
assists) and racked up 30 penalty minutes in 30 games.
Benoit Allaire will be reprising his role as Assistant and
Goaltending Coach. This is his 10th season on the Rangers coaching staff after
being named to the post on July 15, 2004, and as far as Ranger fans are
concerned, there might be no one doing a better job in the organization than

Snakes alive! Otowi Station, Snake Conservation and the Bradbury Science
Museum are collaborating for a presentation and demonstration at 1:30 p.m.
Wednesday in the breezeway between Otowi Station and the Bradbury Science
Museum. Visitors can see all kinds of beautiful snakes, learn the part they
play in our environment, and get an exclusive deal on a Snake Sack, which
contains a guidebook, a notebook for recording the kinds of snakes they
observe, a pencil and a museum-quality replica of a snake.
The Bradbury Science Museum will feature videos about snakes from 10 a.m.-5
p.m. and have some special exhibits about snakes.
Snakes are often hated and feared. Many are even killed for no clear reason.
But there are definitely reasons to keep snakes around your home or garden.
They can keep in check pests like rats and mice, which are vectors for such
diseases as Hantavirus and the plague. And some species that are harmless to
people prey on venomous snakes, reducing the chance of a deadly encounter.
A worker at a Florida dog kennel learned the hard way about the importance
of snakes. He noticed dozens of snakes living in the rafters and crevices,
and decided the reptiles had to go. Working systematically, he killed them
until none were left.

'Ghost nets' kill coral communities
The Deep Coral expedition highlighted the impact of 'ghost nets' in some parts of the canyon. Ghost nets are abandoned pieces of bottom-trawler or long-lines nets that keep fishing unattended on the seafloor. They kill living coral communities leaving behind a deserted seafloor.
Other threats include overfishing and oil and gas exploration.

Cinematographer Evan Prosofsky and director Emily Kai Bock talked at length about dreams while in prep for Arcade Fire's wildly popular music video "Afterlife."
"We kind of resented the thought that dreams have to be sepia-toned and Gaussian-blurred," says Prosofsky.
Malcolm Ludgate, ACS has the resume of a modern day adventurer. His far-flung treks have literally taken him to the edges of the Earth. IMAX® fans have seen his work in epic nature projects like Antarctica, and Australia: Land Beyond Time. Shark lovers have likely viewed the predators through the DP's eye in TV documentaries like The Fox and the Shark and Shark Tribe. This cameraman has also taken his lens into some of Australia's most unusual and dangerous places.
Ludgate loves the challenges that come with shooting in some of the world's most extreme places. So, it's easy to see why he was chosen for Hidden Universe 3D.
The Lone Ranger debuted on the radio in 1933. Soon afterwards, Republic Pictures brought the character to the big screen in serial form. Some 63 after his television debut, the Masked Man still lives in reruns.
Now, Bojan Bazelli, ASC and Gore Verbinski have brought The Lone Ranger back to theaters. The feature film promises to echo the mix of top-flight, large scale action and fun, irreverent dialog that Verbinski perfected in the Pirates of the Caribbean films. In the new film, The Lone Ranger, played by Armie Hammer, often plays the straight man, while Johnny Depp's Tonto delivers the memorable quips.
Dan Mindel, ASC, BSC is known for his preference for 35mm anamorphic cinematography. In fact, he knows the serial numbers of his favorite Panavision anamorphic lenses by heart, and knows exactly how each lens will affect a given photographic subject.
"When I look through an anamorphic lens, it just feels very natural and human to me because the field of view is so wide," he says. "The glass in these lenses that we've been using for the last 30 or 40 years was cut by hand, so there are imperfections. The light does unimaginable things when it hits those aberrations. An unquantifiable magic happens, and I love that. It's one of the tools we use to sell the illusion."
It's here! The highly anticipated teaser trailer to the second installment of The Hunger Games. Catching Fire hits theaters on November 22nd.
Shot on Kodak 35mm and 65mm by Jo Willems, BSC and directed by Francis Lawrence, Katniss and Peeta are in the arena again, this time against the backdrop of rebellion and the Quarter Quell.

With hours left to go, the Carbon High Dino will need a late push if supporters want to make the unique mascot the best in the country.
Carbon High Senior George Deeter voted across three machines in the Carbon High School Library on Monday Night. Deeter along with a majority of the student body and faculty have immersed themselves in mascot pride by voting almost continually in the USA Today's High School Sports Best Mascot in the Nation contest.
In addition to bringing the school and community together, the contest has fostered empathy and commonality between Carbon students and their fieriest competition the Centralia Orphans from Illinois. As the Illinois school also has a history associated with coal mining and they have sent many kind words to the Carbon community following this weekend's tragic roof collapse at the Rhino Mine in Emery County.
"We have been chatting with them on the comment section of the website," said one Carbon High official. "They have been extremely positive and once they got wind of the mine collapse and from that our relationship has blossomed and grown. They are also in a mining community and in I believe it was in 1966 they had their own disaster and lost 111 miners. They understand what we are going through."
While the winning prize is modest in the eyes of students, the process and the pride associated with pushing the Carbon Dino to the top is all the motivation the Carbon Community needs. Since Carbon students launched the Dino into contention over the past few weeks, the local community has voted almost around the clock, with school officials sponsoring and organizing multiple "vote till you drop," events to help provide the computers and space necessary to keep the constant voting going.
According to several students, interest in the contest has brought the entire school together bringing forward school spirit from students who had never participated in school activities before.
"One girl came in and voted for eight hours," said school Media Specialist Carol Chiara, who has championed voting among the faculty. "As she staggered out, she commented that if she didn't have school spirit before, she sure did now."
At press time, the Dinos were down almost 30 percent to the Orphans and were planning another voting party to try and bridge the gap.
Check out the Sun Advocate online at www.sunad.com and read Thursday's edition for information concerning the contest's conclusion.
