I'm 16, a highschool soccer-playing sophmore, and 4 months into my recovery from surgery for acl/meniscus tear. Is there any one who has been through this before? I've spent the whole school year in physical thearpy, and working out as much as I can at the gym. I'm finally running short distances, and was recently fitted for my brace that I'll wear my first year back. That gives me some hope, but the thing is, most of the time lately, it feels like I'll never play any sports again, it's going to be so much work to get back into soccer-shape when that time does come. and make up for all the skills that I've lost over the year. it starts to seem just cant be done, and even if it can, playing soccer will never be the same as it was before. and with the odds of re-injuring my knee, or injuring the other one, it just seems impossible. How does anyone get past all this negitiveity? how does someone play soccer again after an injury this extreame?
I'm also a sophmore and tore my acl in october. I'm almost four months in from my surgery and i still feel some pain but ive started running some and im getting fitted for my brace in a week or two. You're right it sucks tearing your acl; i plan on playing soccer in college and it makes it that much harder when you can't play for almost a year, especialy when your sophmore year is when you really need to get serious about looking at colleges and getting them to notice you. It makes me dicouraged when i feel like it will never be like it use to be, im afraid that i wont be as agressive as i use to be. God has a plan for me though and he will get me through it! Hang in there, there's hope and you'll get better.
Hey guys, i thought i'd get on here and try to give some words of encouragement. i'm 25...i played soccer all through high school and college. even after college i played in co-ed leagues and indoor leagues. while visiting some friends i played in a pick up game and tore my acl. that was 11 months ago. i just wanted to let you know that you will be back before you know it. i felt the same way as you do now...like i'd never be the same, like i'd never play again. about 6 months after surgery i started running again, around 8 months i ran a half marathon, 9 months i ran another half marathon, and 10 months in, i was playing indoor again with a brace. i'm still wearing my brace and i've been able to get back to my outdoor team. you'd be surprised how much of your touches you retain...its more of the fitness and strength that will be tough to get back. my left leg is still smaller than my right but i've heard that it takes up to 18 months to get all your muscle back.
hang in there...you'll be back before you know it... it's going to be tough and it's going to be painful...i still get sore after every game, run, and workout. it's all a part of recovery.
don't give up.
Have no fear, you will heal! I tore my ACL almost 10 years ago and feel my knee is as strong today as it was then. I was able to play the rest of high school and college (out for one season). I still play soccer (indoor and outdoor) with the intensity I used to, if not more. I don't even wear my brace. I felt it was making my play worse than without it and stopped wearing it about one season in after my injury. It will take some time to recover though, don't get me wrong. If you really love the game, you will find the motivation to get stronger. Take baby steps, it doesn't require a lot of running/activity to work on your ball skills on your own, it might even be better since you don't have to worry about unnecessary contact. You can pull through, it may seem like it'll be forever until you're better, but it will be really quick in the grand scheme of things. Good luck and happy healing!
Hey, when i logged in i saw the post "acl injury anyone been there?" Yes, i have been there. I am a highschool senior who missed my entire summer, fall and half of winter sessions with my premiere team as well as highschool because of an ACL tear. I am just 3 months back into the game and i am already back to where i was skill wise. With the negativity, i remember thinking the same thing. how will i ever be the same or how will my game ever be back to where i was...well it will come back i promise. It takes a lot of time to get back into the shape to run for a full 90 minutes but it will come. The skill and strength that you lost will be back in no time. Going to the gym is the best thing to do. I have been lifting ever since i got hurt and my legs are stronger than they were before. The skill is still there, it never went anywhere. Yes you will be a little rusty when you first start playing again but in about 2 practices, it will be back. When i first came back i didnt have any confidence in my game and i have always been one to be sort of flashy and do a lot of useful moves, and when i came back i thought that those would be a burden seeing as how i didnt want to get hurt again. If you go into a practice or a game nervous and thinking oh i dont want to get hurt, your more susceptable to get hurt again because your mind is not where it should be. When you finally return to play, just play. Dont over think everything, just go out there and do your thing. Yes you will be a little sore after the game or practice, and the best thing to do then is to ice after everything. Whether its just running of lifting or a game...ice ice ice!!!!! ice became my best friend ever since my surgery. Once you get back into the game and the swing of things, everything will be fine. And your not going to re injure your knee unless someone tries to take your knee out forcefully....lol. With your new acl, your doctor should have made it thicker than it was before, which protects from any future injuires. Don't get me wrong it can deffinitley happen, but it is very unlikely. Again, when you get out on the pitch again, just play your game. And if someone does try and take out your knees, let them know whose boss. Dont let anyone push you around....lol Good luck with your recovery and you will be fine!!
wow. that you so much. You have no idea how much better reading ALL of these has made me feel. Quintilani, I'll be 8 months may 5th. I've really started touching the ball and doing drills, the other night I was feeling a little more discouraged than usual, and then I came hope, checked my e-mail, and read this. it just gave me alot of confidence and was exactly all the things I've been needing to hear for a long time. And alot of things I'm definatly going to keep in mind.
So thank you very much, I hope your doing really well. Souds to me like your a great player.
Do you wear a brace while you play???
I tore my ACL twice. The first time when I was 21 and the second was a 1 1/2 ago. The first time was just my ACL and the second time was my ACL and both miniscuses. It was the same knee both times. It took about a 12-18 months until I was playing again. Once I was fully recovered I was playing without any change in my abilities. Hang in there. You are doing the best thing you can by doing your therapy. Make sure to get enough rest as well. The body needs that in order to recover from injuries properly. I would say the main thing that would hold you back from playing at 100% again would be the mental battle. A lot of people are hesitant when coming back from ACL surgery. Stay focused, stay positive and you will be alright.
I've been there. It's frustrating, and I'm 45 years old! Theoretically, you should be able to play without a brace, as your ACL should now be a strong part of your knee. But, I think I wore it more out of mental piece of of mind, rather than anything physical. It took me 2 years before I would play without the brace, but you must remember my age. Keep regularly rehabbing, following your doctor's and therapist's advice, and you'll be fine. GOOD LUCK!
Hey all! Thanks for the great posts. I am a "soccer mom" to a talented 11 year old who tore his ACL in December. We've been going to many doctors to try and decide what to do for him. He is very young to have reconstruction because of his growth plates. Fortunately he is able to continue to play right now (without surgery) but at what cost for further damage in the knee we just don't know. It's a very crappy situation to be in. Great to hear that you are all supporting one another in the recovery process. I haven't given much thought to the recovery process just yet but it doesn't sound easy. Take care to you all and here's to a speedy recovery...SOCCER IS GREAT!
That is definitely an unfortunate situation to be in. I first tore mine when I was 21. There was a kid is rehab with me who was 11 and had the same surgery. Within a month he was running around and playing basketball with his friends. They said because he was younger he recovered a lot faster then what an adult would, naturally. I would try and get surgery before he is too late into his teens where it would affect his development into a great soccer player. I would think the sooner the better. But listen to what ever the doctors say. Obviously they know the best thing for him. Get various opinions. I have several friends who tore their ACL around the same time as myself and what their doctor told them and what my doctor told me were extremely different stories. I used Dr. Westphal out of Lancaster, PA for my last surgery. I have nothing but great things to say about him. Anyone who ever has used him will say the same thing.
I too have had acl/meniscus surgery. It was almost 2 years ago now. I had originally ripped my ACL but did not want the surgery and when I completely tore it (absent ACL) I opted to be a man and go for the surgery. I am 31 yrs old and going strong. Aside from running the 20in24 this coming weekend, I also play volleyball, roller hockey in a league, mountain bike, rock climb and look for more challenges every day. I am not in top condition, however I do push myself to succeed. At 16, it is not the end of the world. Trust yourself and your body when pushing the envelop and be sure to use your brace until you feel it is safe enough not to. To this day I still get slight inflamation when I am done my activities. I still use my brace during hockey only and will probably always use it. Be sure to do all of the exercises your physical trainer has given you so that you will be just as strong if not stronger when you return to sports. I wish you all the best and please be sure to give it your all. Success is a great feeling and overcoming this injury will be a great building block for your successful life!
P.S. - Be the smart person and wear your brace in your games and practice as long as it is allowed. If your coach will not let you, well that is something to take up with your school. I have a Donjoy brace and swear by it. Do not give up and do not let anyone tell you that it is a career ender - Look at players in the NHL who finish a season with a torn ACL or Donovan McNabb with the Philadelphia Eagles, although he is not that great now, he still recovered in a year and was playing at the NFL Level.
I tore my ACL, MCL, and meniscus in the last tournament of my last season with my club team. I was 18 years old and hoping to play in college. That pretty much ended that. A friend of mine had torn her ACL a few years back, and I remembered watching her and noting how hesitant she was to go in hard for the ball. I was afraid I would end up like that, which would ruin me as a player, because I had never been afraid to play physical and challenge for 50/50s. I needn't have worried. After 6 months I got back into running and stuff, and after about 8 months I started playing soccer again. Just pickup with friends at first--I was a little frustrated with how rusty my skills were, but it's like riding a bike: after some early frustration, your body remembers what it's supposed to do. It's been about 14 months since I had surgery and now I'm a girl playing a lot of indoor in the adult co-ed league taking on men twice my age. Once I get into the game, I don't even think about my knee anymore; my leg is as strong as it was before and I have better things to worry about than getting hurt again. My coach had always told my team that it's when you let up at the last second when challenging for the ball that gets you hurt. You aren't going to get hurt if you're 100% confident that you're the better player and you play hard and prove it. I wore a brace for about the first month back, when I was playing pickup and indoor, but once I forgot to bring my brace to an indoor game and thus played without it. I didn't even notice a difference. Really, it's just a matter or confidence. If you don't play hard, you're going to get run over and that's when you're going to get hurt. That's always how it is, even if you're the healthiest player out there who has never been injured. You have to play strong and don't let anyone push you around.
I know I'm responding well after your original post, so you may very well be playing like you used to at this point, but I just thought I'd put in my $.02 since I know how frustrating it is to come back from ACL reconstruction. Just know that you can ALWAYS come back. It won't be easy, but if you love the game, it will be worth it.
I've been through the ACL replacement surgery myself, replacing the blown ligament with a portion of my patellar tendon. I would say that the most practical advice that I can give is to follow your rehabilitation schedule to the letter and not try to push yourself. Do not run the risk of re-injuring yourself by taking on more than your knee can handle. More than likely you will be able to play again at 100% or close to it. I have a good friend who tore up his ACL five years ago (at age 35) who is now in the best shape of his life. He not only was able to return to soccer but is now a competitive triathlete as well. Don't lose hope -- hang in there.
My name is Steve. I coach two girls competitive teams in Anchorage, Alaska and I know exactly what you are going through and how you feel.
First let me say, I am sorry that you are having to go through this however, you are not alone. ACL tears and reconstruction are extremely common, especially in female players.
My oldest daughter tore her ACL and damaged her meniscus when she was 14 years old while at the Far West Region IV tournament. This was a extremely big blow to her because she was such a competitive player with dreams of playing ball in college etc. I have also been through the torn ACL process myself. When I was in my early thirties and still very much competitive playing basketball I tore all four of my ligaments, destroyed my meniscus, and broke part of my femur. It was extremely bad and I felt like my competitive days were over.
When I damaged my knee so badly I started researching rehab, Dr.s, and everything I could to help me learn exactly what my options were. Fortunately, I found a Dr. located in Vail, Colorado named Dr. Richard Steadman of the Steadman Hawkins Clinic. He is the leading orthopedic surgeon in the world for knees and he was my, as well as my daughters, savior. I can't even begin to describe how amazing this man is and what he did for the two of us. When all the other Dr.s I talked to told me that I would never walk properly, run again properly etc., Dr. Steadman was nothing short of positive, supportive, and there for me.
Long story short, if you desire to be back at the level of play you were at, you can be! Just focus on the feeling that you had playing and enjoying the game the way you did before your injury. Soccer skills are a lot like riding a bike. They are embedded in your mind. Fitness will be your biggest issue and as long as you are willing to put in the time and effort you can always have that back! Don't allow yourself to get down no matter what! Your mind is more powerful than anything else and if you keep it strong it will be there for you whenever you need it!
My daughter, by the way, has fully recovered and is playing soccer again. She is every bit as skilled as she ever was maybe better in a lot of ways and she is loving the game more than ever. She still wears her brace and it doesn't affect the way she plays at all!
Coach Steve from Alaska
Don't give up. My husband tore his acl a couple of years ago playing soccer. He opted not to have surgery and although he is not playing soccer anymore, he is playing squash most days of the week, quite well without any brace. He is 44 so fitness played a key reason in his choice not to try and play soccer again.
Good luck and keep at it, you have a lot of years ahead of you.

As said, I've never 'intentionally' implemented support for folder thumbnails, so everything you see is some kind of side effect. I'll have a look at it when I get some time. You'll have to test it as I got no way to see folder thumbnails

killa339 wrote:Anyway, let me go into more detail with what I saw, because I really do think there is an issue here.
I'm in Media Library tab, under the Tree section.
- I right click a folder I added under the tree and choose edit.
- It currently is set to "Display as File" at the bottom.
- I set the thumbnail to be a cover.
- I go eh, actually I want this to be displayed as a folder so I can show other info too. I change it to "Display as folder"
- The view changes to a listing like:
- Code: Select all
%name (%year) --> depicted as a green folder in the gui
Plot --> depicted as a green folder in the gui
- I right click the first green folder "%name (%year)" and choose edit.
- I set the thumbnail here to be a picture of my choice.
- I save everything and look at the listing on my tv.
- Everything is being displayed, but the folder icons have tiny cover thumbnails being rendered in the center of them.
- I go back to program, change it back to "display as file"
- I change the thumbnail setting, which I had previously left as cover, to the specific pic I had set when I right clicked the green folder.
- I then change it back again to "display as folder"
- Now when I look at the listing on the tv, the covers are not displayed and the pic I wanted is now rendered in the center of the folder icon.
So, even though I can edit the folder to show a thumbnail, it seems that whatever is set under "display as file" takes precedence. Now interestingly enough, this only happens to the initial folder. All other folders inside it take the thumbnails that I set for them individually. Also, the mask setting under "view as file" takes precedence over the mask I set for the first folder. For example, even though the first folder was set to "%name (%year)" because I had only "%name" for the mask under the "display as file" view, only the name was displayed for the folder. I had to switch back to "display as file", change the mask to look exactly like it did for the other view and then change it back to "display as folder". Again, only the first folder is affected.

If you try it out you have to replace (or delete) the plugins filedetail.tmdbrater.jar and fileimport.tmdb.jar from here (even if you are not using them). Keep the old ones if you want to revert to a previous version as they aren't compatible with each other.

Vancouver Canucks Tickets
Matched up against some of the NHL's toughest teams in the Pacific Division, the Vancouver Canucks made waves last season with the acquisition of Brandon Sutter and Louis Ericksson. While their regular season success didn't translate to Stanley Cup glory, the Canucks return to the ice in 2016-17 with a little more experience and a little more help at key positions. The acquisitions of D Matt Bartkowski add depth for the Canucks, who figure to be a major threat in the Western Conference once again this year.

The Vancouver Canucks broke their four game losing streak with a win against the Avalanche on February 9. Colorado scored first, but then the Canucks got three goals to take the win, thanks to Matt Bartkowski, Sven Baertschi, and Bo Horvat. Goalie Jacob Markstrom helped out by making 29 saves for his first start since January. They added another win when they played against the Coyotes on the 10. Jake Virtanen and Jannik Hansen scored in the 2-1 win. The Canucks will look to keep their winning momentum when they host the Maple Leafs on February 13. You can still get tickets to catch the action in person for prices starting at $85.

2/5/16 - The Vancouver Canucks have now slid to a three game losing streak after blowing it against the Columbus Blue Jackets in a shootout last night. The loss was especially devastating, because it came at home when it looked like the Canucks were going to shut out their fierce rivals. The Blue Jackets had other plans, however, and managed to tie the game in the third period, sending it to overtime. Neither team was able to score, so it came down to a shootout. Unfortunately, Columbus emerged triumphant and sent the home team packing 2 – 1. Vancouver will face the Calgary Flames tomorrow night. Tickets are currently available for $67 and up.
1/29/16 - The Vancouver Canucks are just four points away from a wild card spot in the NHL playoffs, but they have a lot of work ahead of them to get there. There is one thing that will be in their favor, however. Thirty-one games remain on the team's schedule, and 21 of them will be played at home. Having the audience help is a big boost as they make a big push to the finish line. We have a great assortment of tickets for sale for all you 'Nucks lovers out there. You can be a part of the screaming crowd at Rogers Arena on Feb. 4 when the Blue Jackets are in town. Our ticket prices start at just $23.
1/22/16 - The Vancouver Canucks are on a roller coaster ride right now, and they can't seem to get a consistent winning streak going. Although they came away victorious after matchups with the Carolina Hurricanes and the New York Islanders, they could not tack on a third win on Tuesday against the New York Islanders. It was a tough loss that came as the result of a shootout. Even worse, it was a come-from-behind win for the home team. Vancouver took the early lead, scoring an unanswered goal in the first period. New York came charging back, however, to send the game into overtime. They ultimately beat the visiting team 3 – 2.
1/15/16 - Coming off a seven-game home stint, the Vancouver Canucks are packing their bags and heading out on the road for a stretch. The Pacific Division's No. 4 team is looking to chalk up some wins against the Capitals, Hurricanes, Islanders, Rangers, Bruins and the Penguins before returning home to Rogers Arena to face the Predators on Jan. 26. The 'Nucks are reeling after Monday night's 3-2 overtime win turned into a nearly two-minute brawl after the buzzer. The two teams duked it out after some nasty words were exchanged. Hopefully the momentum continues in their favor as they hit the road this week. Tickets for all games can be purchased now, don't miss out!
1/8/16 - The Vancouver Canucks manage to outscore the Carolina Hurricanes last night at home, sending the opposing team packing 3 – 2. Things were tied up after the second period, as both teams managed to score a goal each. In the final minutes, however, the Canucks were able to pull away and outscore the Hurricanes 2 – 1. It was a great victory for the home team, who were recovering from a loss against Arizona in their previous matchup. The Canucks are now 16-16-9 and sitting at third place in the Pacific Division. Catch them at their next home game on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Tickets are currently priced at $52 and up.
1/1/16 - It's safe to say that rookie Andrey Pedan has officially brushed off any lingering concerns about his abilities on the ice. His impressive performance in Monday's match against the LA Kings included two blocked shots, two shots and three hits. Willie Desjardins, head coach for the Vancouver Canucks, said that Pedan "went from a guy we were worried about to a guy that we think we can play down the road." Fans in Vancouver can see Pedan and the rest of the team in action on Jan. 1 against the Ducks. Be a part of the first game of 2016 by joining the rest of the fans at Rogers Arena. Tickets are available for $75 and up.
12/25/15 - If you ever thought the Vancouver Canucks were purposely trying to avoid winning in overtime, you're not crazy. After two 'Nucks games ended in shootouts this week—a 4-3 win over the Red Wings and a 5-4 loss to the Panthers—some came right out and asked if Daniel Sedin what was going on. "We'll take our chances in the shootout. When you start skating around that gets tiring," remarked Sedin, referring to the team's preference to win in a shootout rather than in the overtime session. While many may call the strategy extreme, it sure makes for an interesting game! Up next for Vancouver is a Saturday, Dec. 26 matchup against the Oilers at Rogers Arena. Get tickets now for $81.
12/11/15 - The Vancouver Canucks did it! They finally managed to snap their five-game losing streak, which was impressive for all the wrong reasons. The Canucks defeated the visiting Buffalo Sabres on Monday night, sending them home in a dominating performance and winning 5 – 2. Vancouver made it possible by scoring two unanswered goals in the second period, which ultimately gave them the edge heading into the final minutes. It was beyond a much-needed win for the Canucks, who haven't won a game since November 25. Come find out if they can keep the ball rolling when they face the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday, December 26 after a lengthy road trip. Tickets are 57.
12/18/15 - It was another tough night for the Vancouver Canucks yesterday. They were visiting St. Paul, MN to play the Minnesota Wild, but the Canucks hardly showed up. It was practically a runaway for the Wild from the start, as they scored twice in the first period and a whopping four more goals in the second. If there was any silver lining for Vancouver, it's that they were able to prevent the shut out with two goals of their own. The Canucks ultimately lost 2 – 6 on the road. They will stay on the road until next Saturday when they play the Edmonton Oilers. Tickets to the next home game are $66.
12/11/15 - The Vancouver Canucks did it! They finally managed to snap their five-game losing streak, which was impressive for all the wrong reasons. The Canucks defeated the visiting Buffalo Sabres on Monday night, sending them home in a dominating performance and winning 5 – 2. Vancouver made it possible by scoring two unanswered goals in the second period, which ultimately gave them the edge heading into the final minutes. It was beyond a much-needed win for the Canucks, who haven't won a game since November 25.

12/4/15 - The Vancouver Canucks can't seem to catch a break. After losing to the Dallas Stars on Friday 2 – 3 and the Anaheim Ducks 0 – 4 on Monday, it looked like they were going to be poised to beat the red-hot Los Angeles Kings yesterday. The Canucks scored first, and managed to shut out the Kings until the last period, when Los Angeles scored the tying goal. It sent the game into overtime, where Vancouver ultimately lost in devastating fashion. This is no doubt a tough blow for the Canucks, who will have to rally for tomorrow's matchup against the Dallas Stars at home. Come support Vancouver tomorrow night – tickets are $31.
11/27/15 - It's hard to believe the Vancouver Canucks have eight wins, given that only two of those victories have come since the start of November. Although the Canucks managed to pull out a win against the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday, they promptly returned to their epic losing streak by falling to the New Jersey Devils 2 – 3 on Sunday. Of the last ten games, only two have been wins. Vancouver will need to turn things around in a major way if they hope to make it to the rapidly approaching playoffs. Unfortunately, their next four games will be on the road. Catch them at their next home game against the Dallas Stars on December 3.
11/20/15 - If you watched the Vancouver Canucks play Monday night, you might just be asking yourself how they could have lost that game against Montreal. The 'Nucks were hoping to avoid overtime because they simply haven't performed well in the new three-on-three format. Up 3-0 in the second period, it seemed they would avoid that outcome, but things went south quickly. Lack of confidence came into play and the Canadiens came back to tie the game, forcing OT and ultimately winning 4-3. Up next for Vancouver is a Wednesday game on the road versus the Jets before returning to the Rogers Arena on Saturday, Nov. 21, to face the Blackhawks. Tickets for the latter can be purchased now for $76.
11/13/15 - When the Vancouver Canucks woke up Saturday morning, they probably didn't think they would go to bed that night having lost to the Maple Leafs. Vancouver has a young team, and after one simple turnover, momentum switched to their opponents and they never recovered. Perhaps a more mature team could have used their experience to get back the control of the puck, but it just wasn't happening for the 'Nucks. Ben Hutton, defenseman for Vancouver stated the game was "a series of unfortunate events. We've got to be smarter, got to talk." Hopefully things will go better this week, as the Canucks are on the road this Monday and Wednesday to take on the Canadiens and the Jets.
11/6/15 - The Vancouver Canucks may be licking their wounds after losing to the Penguins this week, but they are still enjoying the No. 2 spot in the NHL's Pacific Division. After getting off to a flat and slow start, the 'Nucks just couldn't fully recover, despite coming back from a 3-0 deficit to finish with a score of 3-2. "It's nice that we pushed back, but it was a little too late," said Vancouver winger Radim Vrbata. Vancouver will begin an extensive 7-game road trip this weekend. Hopefully they can redeem themselves when they face the Sabres in Buffalo on Saturday (Nov. 7) and the Devils in New Jersey on Sunday (Nov. 8). They will return to Rogers Arena on Sunday, Nov. 15.
10/30/15 - It's fairly surprising that the Vancouver Canucks are still sitting in 2nd place in the Pacific Division given their recent string of losses. Except for last night, when the Canucks walloped the Canadiens 5 -1, the team had lost their previous four games in a row. It's important to note, however, that they were only defeated by one point in each of those four games. That's why it was particularly refreshing to see the Canucks looking so sharp on Tuesday. They punished the Canadiens by scoring three goals in the first period alone, and ultimately tacking on two more in the third. The Canucks will now hit the road until they return on November 2.
10/23/15 - The big coaching change in Columbus this week has been an interesting one for the NHL, but especially for Canucks fans. Fired after just one season in Vancouver, John Tortorella is back to coaching thanks to the Blue Jackets' ill fate and 0-7 start this season. This creates an automatic rivalry of sorts for the two teams, who are scheduled to meet up next month and then again in February. The Vancouver Canucks are playing their next three games on their home ice at Rogers Arena. Get your tickets for Saturday's (Oct. 24) game against the Detroit Red Wings and cheer on the 'Nucks with your fellow fans! Prices start at $52.
10/16/15 - The Vancouver Canucks are looking mighty strong heading into Friday's matchup against the St. Louis Blues. The team has won three out of four games this season, most recently defeating the Los Angeles Kings a walloping 3 – 0. The shutout came on the road just a day after they beat the Anaheim Ducks 2 – 1. The Canucks will finally be back at home when they face the Blues this Friday, so don't miss your chance to come support the hometown heroes. Tickets to Friday's game at Rogers Arena start at just $36. There are many different seating options still available. If you can't make it to Friday's matchup, you can catch the Canucks at home until October 29.
10/9/15 - There is much to celebrate for the Vancouver Canucks when they started their season opener with a smashing win against the Calgary Flames. The Canucks hit the ice away from home with aggression and meaning this week. They controlled the game during each period and quieted the crowd pretty quickly in the first period. The Canucks left the stadium with a proud, 5-1 win over the Flames and started for home to prepare for their home opener on October 10. Oddly enough, the Canucks take on the Flames again for their first home game and tickets are still up for grabs. Don't miss your chance to liven your weekend and get your tickets today.
9/18/15 - Players in the NHL are always under pressure to be at their best, but expectations are pushed even further when you have an older brother who is a league superstar. The Vancouver Canucks drafted Jordan Subban in 2013, and since then, he has been compared to brother P.K., who is older and bigger. Because he is smaller, Jordan has had to rely more on other skills such as speed and brains to succeed and is an exciting player to watch. He and the rest of the Canucks are all set to begin preseason play on Tuesday (Sept. 22) against the San Jose Sharks. They will play on their own ice at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver. Our ticket prices start at just $15 for seats in the upper level goal section.
2014-2015 Season
4/29/15 - After finishing in second place in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference, the season came to a disappointing conclusion for the Vancouver Canucks, as they fell to the Calgary Flames in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Calgary went on a scoring rampage in the decisive Game 6, getting multiple goals each from Jiri Hudler and Michael Ferland en route to a 7-4 finish that eliminated Vancouver from postseason contention. The Canucks took Games 2 and 5 on their home ice to keep things competitive, but ultimately were overmatched by the offensive firepower of the Flames. Vancouver will now look to the 2016 season, when they will reload and get set for another run at the grand prize: the Stanley Cup Trophy.
4/24/15 - After falling in their opening home game of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Vancouver Canucks know they will need to win at least one on the road if they hope to escape their series versus the Calgary Flames. Leading 1-0 after the second period, Vancouver needed just 20 minutes of solid defense to secure a Game One win at home. However the Flames' offense proved too potent, as a pair of third-period goals helped them rally to an improbable victory in the Canucks' building. Vancouver took care of business in Game Two, but fell by a score of 4-2 in their first road outing of the postseason en route to a 2-1 series disadvantage. Tickets are on sale now for Tuesday night's game at Scotiabank Saddledome in Alberta, but grab yours fast because they won't be here for long!
4/17/15 - The Vancouver Canucks finished the regular season on a high note by winning their final three games. Their last game against the Oilers on the 11th came down to overtime, but they won 6 to 5. Goalie Ryan Miller returned from a seven-week absence due to a knee injury and had 23 saves in the game. The Oilers got on the board first and led for most of the game. Daniel Sedin, Kevin Bieksa, and Jannik Hansen each scored for the Canucks, and Sven Baertschi had two goals during regulation. Alexander Edler was the lone scorer during overtime, securing the victory for the Canucks. The Canucks next play the Flames for the Divisional Semifinals. Tickets remain on sale for the first game on April 15, starting at $68.
4/3/15 - With just four games left in the regular season, the Vancouver Canucks appear to be en route to a first-round matchup with a familiar foe. Assuming the standings don't change, the Canucks will open their postseason chase for the Stanley Cup against Pacific Division mates Calgary; the Canucks and Flames have split their four games this season.
3/18/15 - With first place in the Pacific Division seemingly out of reach, the Vancouver Canucks now find themselves focused on fending off the Calgary Flames and Los Angeles Kings to maintain their hold on their current playoff position. After suffering a disheartening 4-0 loss to those same Kings last week, the Canucks bounced back with a 4-1 rout of the Maple Leafs over the weekend, getting goals from four different players as goalie Eddie Lack saved 28 shot attempts by Toronto. Vancouver will complete their current five-game home stand with games versus the Philadelphia Flyers and Columbus Blue Jackets this week. Come out to Rogers Arena for Flyers vs. Canucks on Tuesday night, with tickets starting at $43, or enjoy seats starting at $30 for Vancouver vs. Columbus on Thursday.
3/6/15 - With the Stanley Cup playoffs looming, the Vancouver Canucks find themselves well in contention, but well back of Pacific Division leading Anaheim. The Canucks are the No. 2 team in the Pacific, but are currently in sixth in the overall Western Conference, 15 points back of Anaheim and a point behind Minnesota for the No. 5 slot in the conference standings.
2/20/15 - With a two game winning streak at the moment, the Vancouver Canucks are the second hottest team in the Western Conference. The Canucks are holding down second place in the Pacific Division, eight points back of Anaheim, a point up on Calgary and San Jose, and three points clear of the L.A. Kings.
2/13/15 - Since the All-Star break last month, the Vancouver Canucks have been basically running in place, alternating losses and wins over the eight-game stretch. The result of this: The Canucks remain tied for third in the Pacific Division, tied with Calgary and a point behind second-place San Jose.
2/6/15 - Since returning to the ice after the All-Star Game, the Vancouver Canucks have alternated two wins with three losses in their five games. All five games have been at home at Rogers Arena, the most recent a 5-1 shellacking at the hands of division rival San Jose.
1/30/15 - With a two-game losing streak in hand, the Vancouver Canucks have not been able to keep up with Pacific Division leaders Anaheim, and now have fallen behind San Jose. However, the deficit between the Canucks is just one point and there is still plenty of hockey to be played.
12/19/14 - While Anaheim has taken control of the Pacific Division, the Vancouver Canucks have lost ground, even falling behind a surging San Jose squad. The Canucks currently stand in third place in the division with 38 points, two points behind the Sharks and a full 11 points behind the high-flying Ducks.
12/12/14 - The end of a long swing through the Eastern Conference was not a good one for the Vancouver Canucks. In losing their last three straight – to Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal – the Canucks were also falling out of first place in the Pacific Division.
12/5/14 - The Vancouver Canucks have emerged as a strong contender for Pacific Division superiority this season. The Canucks have matched Anaheim in points atop the division, and also have their own two game winning streak in hand.
11/14/14 - Unbeaten in their last two, the Vancouver Canucks have crashed the party at the top of the Pacific Division that is usually otherwise occupied by the trio of California teams. The Canucks are the recipients of a strong "fresh start" by goaltender Ryan Miller as part of their success.
11/7/14 - One of the surprise teams of the early season of the NHL, the Vancouver Canucks are just three points off the pace set by division-leading Anaheim in the Pacific Division. The Canucks have joined the Ducks as 10-win teams with a victory over San Jose going into the weekend.
10/31/14 - The Vancouver Canucks had their second win in a row against the winless Carolina Hurricanes with a 4-1 victory Tuesday, Oct. 28, at the Rogers Arena. Goaltender Ryan Miller hit a milestone when he became the 30th NHL goalie to receive 300 career wins after making 29 saves. Miller wrote in blue tape "300th win" on the edge of the game puck and reflected on his 12 seasons in the NHL. His shoutout bid was spoiled by a late goal by the Hurricanes Jiri Tlusty, but Miller did not let that get him down. Miller made his best save in the third period, just four minutes in, when he slid from left to right to block a goal by Tlusty. The Canucks carried over their 4-2 win over Washington Sunday night. The Canucks will take on the Montreal Canadiens at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 30, at the Rogers Arena with tickets starting at $77.
After a roller coaster season on and off the ice, the 2014-2015 campaign will be filled with renewed spirits and a new-look squad from front to back. After the Canucks missed the playoffs for the first time in 5 years, the club experienced a major overhaul: management parted with GM Mike Gillis and coach John Totorella, and welcomed new President Trevor Linden, GM Jim Benning and coach Willie Desjardins. On roster, the Canucks dealt center Ryan Kesler (Anaheim) in exchange for Luca Sbisa, center Nick Bonino and first and third-round draft picks. Vancouver wasn't done, they even made a splash on the free agent market by signing Radim Vrbata, sending out a "win now" message to the rest of the league. See the Sedins and Co. get this storied team back on track with Vancouver Canucks tickets to the 2014-2015 season!
The Vancouver Canucks open their season on the road at the Calgary Flames on Oct. 8. Don't miss out on the Oct. 11 home opener against the Edmonton Oilers. Be there for Ryan Miller's return to St. Louis when the Canucks play the Blues on Oct. 23, and see Luongo's return to Rogers Arena on Jan. 8 as a member of the Panthers. A must-see road game comes against the Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings on Nov. 8, which will reveal how the remodeled squad fares in postseason-caliber play. See a bitter bout on Nov. 20 when the Canucks face familiar faces in the Anaheim Ducks. Take a look at your new roster with Vancouver Canucks tickets today!
2013-2014 Season
4/9/14 – The Canucks were eliminated from the NHL playoffs Monday night and one day later, the organization fired President and General Manager Mike Gillis. The franchise wasted no time in hiring former captain Trevor Linden to become the new President of the Vancouver Canucks Wednesday morning; in his new role Linden will be responsible for all hockey operations including the coaching and scouting staffs, player development, and minor league affiliations. Can the longtime Canuck get Vancouver back on track? 2013-14 was the first season the Canucks had not made the playoffs since 2008.
4/3/14 – After losing three straight, the Canucks now sit six points behind the Dallas Stars for the final wild-card spot in the West. Tuesday's game in Vancouver marked the regular-season return of Rangers' head coach Alain Vigneault to Rogers Arena. During the seven seasons that Vigneault spent in Vancouver, he won six division titles and lead the club to within a victory of the Stanley Cup. The Canucks will play four of their last five regular-season games at home, with Saturday's Kings game in highest demand (min. $62).
3/28/14 – The Canucks split their crucial back-to-back games on the road this week against Minnesota Wednesday and Colorado Thursday. Vancouver was without top center Henrik Sedin (knee) and forward Alexandre Burrows (thumb) who suffered injuries in the previous week. The Canucks will finish the regular season with six of seven games at home, beginning Saturday night against the Anaheim Ducks (avg. $183). Get out to Rogers Arena and help give the Canucks home ice advantage down the stretch! Five points behind the Phoenix Coyotes for the second Wild Card spot in the West, Vancouver needs to lock down as many points as they can to have a shot.
3/19/14 – The Vancouver Canucks playoff hopes are not mathematically over, but their 4-3 loss to the Lightning Monday essentially eliminated them from a post-season spot. With 11 games remaining in the regular-season, the Canucks need to win out if they wish to reach the postseason for a sixth straight year; the feat would go down in the franchise record books. It all starts Wednesday against Nashville (avg. $134) in the cheapest regular-season matchup remaining at Rogers Arena. Will Alex Burrows' revitalization launch Vancouver's history-making win streak? Can rookie Nicklas Kensen continue to spark the Canucks roster? Find out with Vancouver Canucks tickets to one of eight remaining home games.
3/11/14 – Canucks fans would like to erase last night's 4-7 loss from their memories. Vancouver gave up seven goals in the third period to the New York Islanders in front of a sellout crowd of 18,910. The team will have to move forward quickly as they head on a four-game road trip and look to make up ground in the standings. Now the Vancouver Canucks are four points out of the eighth and final playoff spot in the West with 15 games remaining. With a lot on the line, it's important that Canucks fans continue to fill the seats inside Rogers Arena! With cheap Vancouver Canucks tickets available for $40, grab yours now and support Vancouver as they look to make the NHL Playoffs for the sixth consecutive year.
3/4/14 – The Canucks could not hold on to a 2-0 lead in the Heritage Classic, dropping a 4-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators Sunday. After playing two in a row "at home" following the Olympic break, Vancouver will visit Phoenix and Dallas this week. Earlier this morning, the Canucks acquired Jeff Costello (Ottawa) from their Heritage Classic counterparts in exchange for defenceman Patrick Mullen. One day before the trade deadline, the Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Flyers and Detroit Red Wings remain front-runners to land Canucks Center, Ryan Kesler but will Vancouver say good-bye to the former Selke Trophy winner?
2/26/14 - The Vancouver Canucks are excited to get back to work after the Olympic break to put an end to their seven game skid. Captain Henrik Sedin has been sidelined with an injury all month, but should be back in the lineup for their all-important Wednesday game against the St Louis Blues. The Canucks welcomed back four players with medals: Dan Hamhuis & Roberto Luongo (gold for Canada) and Daniel Sedin & Alex Edler (silver for Sweden), and hope these players will provide much-needed confidence for the team. Luongo is confident "there's no [Sochi] hangover here" and their first game will put that sentiment to the test. Score Vancouver Canucks tickets when they face the St Louis Blues tonight!
2/21/14 – Canucks fans will get to see their team at Rogers Arena twice prior to the Mar 2 Heritage Classic when Vancouver will honor members of the team that advanced to Game 7 of the 1994 Stanley Cup finals. Trevor Linden, Kirk MacLean, Cliff Ronning, Jyrki Lumme, Gino Odjick, Dave Babych and Geoff Courtnall are among those expected to attend the ceremony with former head coach and general manager Pat Quinn. Vancouver Canucks tickets are averaging $174 for remaining home games; surprisingly Heritage Classic tickets are $10 cheaper than that! 2/4/14 – The Canucks head in to tonight's heated game against the Bruins having lost their last four and fighting to stay relevant in the Wild Card race.
Vancouver holds a one point lead for eighth place in the Western Conference over the Phoenix Coyotes. The 2011 Staley Cup Final foes no question dislike each other, which makes Tuesday's rivalry game a must-see! Following tonight's hump game in the Canucks five-game road trip, Vancouver will close out its pre-Olympic break week at Montreal (2/6) and Toronto (2/8).
1/30/14 – Vancouver native Mike Santorelli underwent shoulder surgery today and will miss the remainder of the 2013-14 season. The Canucks will try to keep a positive attitude as they head on a five game road trip before the Olympic break. Veteran Kevin Bieksa will not make the journey as he is dealing with an undisclosed injury; that, following the announcement that Chris Taney has a broken thumb and will be off the ice until after the Olympics. The Canucks have gone 2-3-0 without coach John Tortorella; his 15-day suspension ends in time for his return Monday at Detroit. Is the upcoming break coming at just the right time for the Canucks? Vancouver fans hope so!
Vancouver Canucks tickets for the 2013-14 season are in high demand. Averaging $289, Canucks tickets are the fourth most expensive in the League and up 12% since last year. The most expensive game on the Canucks schedule will be played against the
Ottawa Senators
in the
Heritage Classic
on 3/2. The final
outdoor hockey game
of the season is averaging $386 at BC Place, down $32 in the last two weeks. Another must-see game: Vancouver Canucks vs.
New Jersey Devils
on 10/8 for a showdown of the former Canucks goalies in Cory Schneider and Roberto Luongo. Witness the return of Schneider for an average ticket price of $184.
2012-2013 Season
3/11/13 - The Vancouver Canucks have won four consecutive Northwest Division titles. That makes six total for the club, more than anyone else in the Division. Vancouver has also won back-to-back Presidents Trophies. Canucks fans are used to seeing their team on top but have had to watch Vancouver struggle recently with injuries to defenseman Kevin Bieksa and Center Ryan Kesler. A fifth straight Division title may depend on consistency and whether or not someone can fill the void of Bieksa and Kesler.
Matches against rival
Calgary Flames
are both the most expensive (4/6) and the cheapest (1/23) on the Canucks schedule. The average Flames Canucks tickets vary by $194 between the two hockey matches with an average price tag of $273 and $79 respectively. Sandwiched between those two meetings, the rivals will matchup up at
Rogers Arena
with Vancouver tickets averaging $211.
Of all the teams in the
, the Vancouver Canucks have the second greatest percentage decrease in price since last season (-35%). Only the
Philadelphia Flyers
(-54%) saw a greater decline in prices. Most hockey clubs found that their average ticket on the secondary market increased as a result of demand going up after the lockout. The average Vancouver Canucks tickets are $190 for the 2013 season. It'll cost you $90 less if you want to see the Canucks on the road.

DARTMOUTH — The Lloyd Center recently announced the achievement of its long-sought goal to protect the 27-acre parcel of land which lies directly across the road from its headquarters and spectacular nature preserve overlooking the scenic Slocum River estuary in South Dartmouth. Affectionately dubbed "Lloyd Woods" by the center's staff and bounded by Little River and Potomska Road, the recently-acquired property was the unrestricted gift to the center from its founder, the late Karen Lloyd and was one of the last pieces of unprotected land in the "necklace" that surrounds Dartmouth's fragile Little River estuary.
In return for a $500,000 North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA) grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Lloyd Center is conveying a conservation restriction on the land, adjudged to be worth at least $1.6 million, jointly to the Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust and the Buzzards Bay Coalition, thus permanently conserving the 27-acre property in its entirety.
"I am enormously gratified that the center's board of directors has unanimously elected to conserve this fragile piece of Little River shoreline property", said Lloyd Center Board Chair Robert "Brodie" MacGregor, "We are grateful to our colleagues at the DNRT who have given unselfishly of their time to help the center achieve this important conservation goal and to those at the coalition whose expertise and hard work were critically important to the securing of the NAWCA grant".
"The Buzzards Bay Coalition is incredibly proud to have partnered with the Lloyd Center and DNRT to help make this conservation plan a success," said Bay Coalition President Mark Rasmussen, "We are excited to have received this grant from NAWCA and to be able to apply it to conserving such an important property on the Little River estuary. We applaud the Lloyd Center for their vision to secure permanent protection for this land and thank the DNRT for their leadership in conserving this property and so many of Dartmouth's treasures."
Lloyd Center Executive Director, D'Arcy MacMahon, expressed his thanks to members of the town's Select Board, and to the center's Potomska Road neighbors in particular, for their encouragement in bringing this project to a successful conclusion.
"I am especially grateful to Lloyd Center board vice-chairs George Nelson and Mary Mandeville for their having managed to meet extraordinarily tight deadlines in order to preserve the center's NAWCA grant eligibility", MacMahon said, "and to Lloyd Center directors Kathryn Duff and Richard Rheaume for their perseverance and diligence in hammering out the final details of this critically important conservation restriction".
The NAWCA Standard Grants Program supports public-private partnerships colaborating projects in the United States which involve long-term protection, restoration, and/or enhancement of wetlands and associated uplands habitats for the benefit of wetlands-associated migratory birds and other wildlife.
By conveying this particular conservation restriction to its partners at the DNRT and the Bay Coalition, the Lloyd Center will be permanently protecting 27 acres of valuable coastal wetlands and adjacent buffering uplands.
"This was a great partnership that came together to protect one of the last unprotected parcels on Little River," said DNRT Executive Director Dexter Mead. "DNRT is especially pleased that the public will be able to enjoy exploring this beautiful property."
Guided by all relevant national and regional bird conservation plans, the project will add to 840 acres of existing adjacent protected lands, including 5.7 miles of protected shoreline and 318 acres of wetland and will have significant benefits to a variety of important natural resources, including waterfowl, waterbirds, shorebirds, other migratory birds, fish, shellfish and other wildlife species.

Old-Time Franco-German Unity
By Geoffrey T. Smith
The Franco-German partnership may not be the motor it once was for European integration, but don't tell German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble.
Mr. Schäuble and his French counterpart, Pierre Moscovici, turned back the clock Tuesday with a joint press conference in an attempted show of unity on the big issues of the day. Perhaps fortunately, perhaps by design, they chose to hold the press conference before they had had the chance to irritate and frustrate each other in discussing Europe's new plans for a single mechanism for bank supervision at the European Central Bank. Germany is fighting to spare its local and cooperative banks any more new regulatory burdens, while France is pressing the case that a single supervisor really does have to have direct power over even small banks. The two also disagree over the risk that the initiative poses to the ECB's governing council, which Germany insists needs to remain exclusively focused on keeping inflation down.
As such, the press conference revolved mostly around Greece, where the two did a better job of singing from the same sheet than did Eurogroup head Jean-Claude Juncker and International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde the previous evening after four hours of evidently fractious talks.
But it was when the talk turned to France, and its struggle with its loss of international competitiveness, that Mr. Moscovici really found out what a friend he had. Mr. Schäuble positively leapt down the throat of a French journalist who wondered whether France may be the latest country to claim the title–hotly contested since 2010–of "The Sick Man of Europe."
"No! That question must not remain unanswered even for a second!" he barked across the room (the French minister remaining impressively calm as his right ear took the brunt of the blast), before launching into one of his characteristically fluent and oddly inspiring rhapsodies on the spirit of Franco-German cooperation–a skill in which Mr. Schäuble has had no rivals since the retirement of Jean-Claude Trichet from the presidency of the ECB.
But Mr. Moscovici should have known that nobody gets support from Berlin without conditions attached these days, and today was no different. Mr. Schäuble was impeccably diplomatic, but the message in what followed was clear. Germany had had to struggle to regain competitiveness, and so must everyone else.
"If we don't all make huge efforts to keep our competitiveness and improve our productivity," Mr. Schaeuble said, warming to his theme, "In the context of our demographic development, our greater sensitivity to the enormous developments in the environment and modern technology, our [insistence on] higher social standards and benefits, then we–all of us Europeans together–will become irrelevant in this world of globalization."
Or in other words, the Zeitgeist doesn't recognize l'exception Française. François Hollande, take note.

Is North Korea upping the ante with enriched uranium test?
Rogue state enters a 'new phase of confrontation' as it promises third nuclear test and rocket launches
NORTH KOREA'S declaration that it intends to carry out a "high-level nuclear test" suggests the rogue state may be about to trial a weapon from its "new, uranium-based nuclear programme" for the first time, the BBC says. And the announcement begins a worrying "new phase" in Pyongyang's military stand-off with the US.
The BBC's Seoul correspondent, Lucy Williamson, said the communist regime's announcement that it would conduct its third test of a nuclear device as well as tests of long-range rockets, in retaliation for the imposition of a new set of UN sanctions, came as little surprise to commentators in the region. North Korea held nuclear tests in 2006 and 2009 and "tunnelling activity" recently observed within the pariah state appears to be similar to that seen during preparations for those tests.
But Williamson said the fact the test was described as "high-level" suggested Pyongyang was about to conduct the first test of a device from its uranium-enrichment programme which is specifically designed to create nuclear weapons. Experts told the Voice of Russia that the two earlier tests were of devices using "weapon-grade plutonium" probably extracted from spent fuel used at the country's only nuclear reactor.
South Korea believes its northern enemy is "technically ready" to conduct such a test, says Reuters. No date has been given for the trial and the decision to push the button lies with leader Kim Jong-un, who approved the launch of a long-range rocket in December that triggered the latest round of UN sanctions.
Reuters says North Korea's announcement of the tests, and its declaration that they mark a "new phase of confrontation" with the US, poses a "huge challenge" to China, its only major ally on the world stage. China backed the latest UN sanctions and its foreign ministry today called for "calm and restraint".
But few nations can afford to ignore the latest escalation of tensions. CNN points out that the international community "stifled a snigger" when North Korea's "much-hyped" rocket launch in April last year failed dismally when the missile broke up and crashed into the sea.
But the regime persevered, and in December it successfully launched a Unha-3 long-range rocket. "No-one is laughing now," CNN said in a report written at the time. And with the grim prospect of more rocket tests and a third nuclear trial hanging in the air, no-one is likely to be laughing for some time.

Will the UN finally have the guts to bomb North Korea?
If they take that daft decision, then there are at least half a dozen other nation states they would have to bomb.It is not a question of guts but clear thinking - the consequences of aggression are too terrible to consider.

SUNNYVALE -- Solving a Rubik's Cube puzzle is relatively simple, insists Nathaniel Knopf. Anyone can do it with practice.
"It's really about recognizing patterns," said Knopf, 17, a junior at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley. "Once you get over the initial hurdle of doing it once, people usually find it's pretty easy."
But not everyone can do it in less than 10 seconds, the way Knopf can. Or, like Riley Woo, whose best time is a shade more than 30 seconds ... while blindfolded.
"You're not really thinking of the cube in your head," said Woo, 16, a Burlingame High School junior. "You just do it."
Yeah, right -- piece of cake.
Remember, they're talking about the devilishly simple, yet wildly challenging game that was all the rage in the 1980s. Everyone understands the basic challenge: twist the cube containing mini-squares of six colors until each side of the cube is made up of the same color. And a majority of people who owned one likely never finished the fun-but-frustrating thing even once.
But about 100 "speedcubers" were easily solving puzzles Sunday in a friendly competition at the Moose Family Center Lodge in Sunnyvale, lining up the colors on the cubes in ridiculously quick fashion.
These cubists, ranging from age 8 to adults, came from as far away as San Luis Obispo, Seattle and Canada as a banquet-sized room was filled with the incessant clickety-clack sound of puzzles twisting. The only time you might see fingers moving this fast is when teenagers are texting their friends on smartphones.
What they made look effortless, of course, has driven mere mortals crazy. Brandon Harnish, 17, a Branham High senior, may have set a world record Sunday by taking only 2.19 seconds to solve a Skewb -- a variation of the Rubik's Cube -- in just nine moves, but his father doesn't have a clue how he does it.
"I don't get it in any way, shape or form," said Terry Harnish. "But I've found this is definitely a mathematical and engineering group. And most of them are musicians as well. It seems to require that kind of mindset. It's definitely a nerd-fest."
Cult following
The Rubik's Cube, in the parlance of enthusiasts, is a sequential movement puzzle. It was invented by a Hungarian named Erno Rubik, and reportedly more than 350 million have been sold, making it the world's best-selling puzzle.
While countless cubes may be collecting dust in abandoned toy boxes after its time as a must-have gadget long ago faded in this age of computer games, the Rubik's Cube has been enjoying a renaissance. The World Cube Association has about 30,000 members worldwide and tracks records in 18 events. (For instance, the current world mark in the standard Rubik's Cube is 5.55 seconds.)
"It died off in terms of being a trend in the public eye," Knopf noted, "but it always had a cult following, and now it's coming back."
Maybe more impressive than how fast Knopf and friends solve the cube is how six of them -- five in high school and one in junior college -- organized this event on their own. Competitors in nine events sat at tables outfitted with elaborate sensors and timing systems, which automatically started as soon as they picked up the cubes.
And the pressure was on because one entrant was Ron van Bruchem, 46, an Amsterdam resident who happened to be in Silicon Valley on a business trip. The Rubik Rock Star is a co-founder of the World Cube Association which has staged competitions around the globe.
"It's a big honor having him here," Brandon Harnish said. "But it's also nerve-racking."
"A few algorithms"
While this was van Bruchem's 105th event, he said the real competition is within yourself as you try to improve your time.
"When kids are just starting off and they think they're slow, I always tell them: 'It's OK, you're still better than 6 billion other people,'" he said.
Once featured in The New York Times, Woo specializes in the blindfolded competition. As soon as he picked up the cube, the clock started. After spending a few seconds studying the color pattern, he slipped down the blindfold and started twisting. His winning time was 46.63 seconds -- about 15 seconds slower than his best.
"You memorize a few algorithms beforehand, and when you're done, you hope it's solved, but you don't really know until you take off the blindfold," Woo said.
Richard Jay S. Apagar won the standard Rubik's Cube competition, the main event, by averaging 8.32 seconds in five times solving the puzzle. Brandon Harnish won the Skewb event with an average time 8.88 seconds. But while winners received gift certificates, Sunday was more about hanging out with others who share a Rubik's Cube fascination.
"Wherever I go," Brandon Harnish declares, " my Skewb goes."
On this day, he was surrounded by twisting people who feel the same way.

Knitter's Review
September 6, 2012
Few countries have as prominent or distinct a knitting culture as Iceland.
When my grandparents traveled to this island country years ago, my grandma immediately fell in love with Icelandic yarn. It wasn't tightly twisted like the yarns she was used to—in fact it was barely spun at all.
She brought home a whole suitcase of yarn and proceeded to knit sweaters for herself and everyone dear to her.
In just a few weeks I'll board a plane for Iceland, bringing my grandma's favorite cardigan back to the country of its origins. Please join me in a monthlong celebration of all things Iceland, beginning with a look at the distinct yarn that captivated my grandma so many years ago: Lopi.

In the United States the name Nano Nagle isn't familiar to many.
In Ireland it's not only familiar, it's revered.
Although she was born in 1718, Nagle placed first in a 2005 radio poll on Ireland's greatest women, besting modern-day politicians, Olympic gold medalists and even Sainte Brigid.
Nagle was "a woman who defied the entire British Empire," says Cathal Gallagher, playwright and founder of the Quo Vadis Theatre.
Nagle is the subject of Gallagher's latest play, The Lady of the Lantern, being staged at Presentation High School Jan. 12-13 and 18-20.
The location is appropriate as Nagle was the founder of the Sis- ters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary religious order, and it was the Presentation Sisters who founded the high school in Willow Glen 50 years ago.
Gallagher says he was inclined to say no when Presentation principal Mary Miller called to commission an original play about Nano Nagle.
Then Miller told him that Nagle founded the first school in Ireland during the Irish Penal Laws period.
Gallagher, himself born in County Donegal, Ireland, was aware of the brutal laws designed to stamp out Catholicism.
He accepted the commission and traveled to Cork, Ireland, where Nagle founded her order, to do his research.
"In modern times we just don't realize how oppressive those times were for a woman," Gallagher says.
"She set up that school when Catholic schools were outlawed," he says. "You just couldn't do that. They would seize your land if you did, or transport you off to plantations in the United States [as an indentured servant]. They were a wealthy family, so she ran the risk of the government seizing her family's land."
The schools Nagle founded spread throughout the world.
"This incredible achievement was due to a woman who had a vision of how things should be, a vision of justice."
In addition to secretly schooling children during the day, opening two schools for boys and five for girls, Nagle spent her nights ministering to the poverty-ridden elderly and sick.
With her lantern, she was a well known figure in the slums of Cork, where she was known by many simply as "The Lady with the Lantern."
Anne Markel, campus minister and a religious studies instructor at Presentation, portrays Nagle in the play.
"It's been challenging," Markel says. "She's one of the most influential people in Irish history, and I want to exude and express her passion and her strong convictions."
Markel researched Nagle by reading her letters and interviewing members of her religious order.
"She really believed in the power of prayer and that God was with her. If God wanted her work to be accomplished, it would be accomplished," Markel says.
"I want people to take that away. I also want Nano to be human. Often in saints' stories, they're stripped of their humanity. I'd like to make her as real and relatable as possible."
Jim Houle, performing arts director at Presentation and director of Gallagher's play, says The Lady of the Lantern is a departure from the usual musicals the school presents in January.
"Our school is about empowering young women, and this story is a very clear portrayal of a woman who empowered herself to meet a challenge that would be very difficult even in today's world," Houle says.
While the Presentation production will be the world premiere of the play, Gallagher says he's already had inquiries from a Presentation school in Ireland about staging it. He's also considering staging it in Southern California.
"The Lady of the Lantern," Valenzuela Theater, Presentation High School, 2281 Plummer Ave., San Jose. Shows are on Jan. 12 and 18-19 at 7 p.m. and Jan. 13 and 20 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 and available in advance at www.presentationhs.org/boxoffice.

Candidates for Augusta offices face residency questions
Some candidates running for office in Augusta continue to be questioned about their residency.
This time, Diane Moss has submitted a handwritten letter claiming Mayor Deke Copenhaver doesn't live in Augusta as his candidate forms say he does.
Moss claims Copenhaver previously had an address in North Augusta.
The Board of Elections is following the normal procedure, and will decide whether to have a hearing on the challenge.
The mayor says the claim is ridiculous.
"If they deem the challenge meets the requirement of the law, they are statutorily bound to set a date time and place for a hearing to hear evidence and testimony," director of elections Lynn Bailey told News 12.
"This is an absolute travesty, and a mockery of our justice system," said Copenhaver. "I have never lived in North Augusta, nor have I ever spent the night in North Augusta."
Moss doesn't have to provide any proof of her claim until the hearing.
The Board of Elections is already having a hearing about the residency of candidate Ronnie Few after he filed a homestead exemption in Columbia County swearing he lived there.
The board also took Keith Brown off the ballot for Augusta commissioner because of a residency challenge.
Beck says he had permission to change job descriptions
An investigation continues into hiring procedures at the Recreation and Parks Department.
Yesterday, department head Tom Beck was back before the commission subcommittee.
This time they asked why he changed several job descriptions and waived degree requirements.
Beck told them he got the okay from former city administrator George Kolb.
But the committee told Beck he violated city policy since the changes were never approved by the commission.
"You feel like there are times maybe your integrity might be questioned a little, but they have the right to ask the questions they feel need to be asked," Beck said.
Sub-committee chairman Marion Williams says there will be at least one more meeting before the investigation is complete.
This subcommittee will then present their findings to the Administrative Services Committee and they will make a recommendation to the full commission.
Westside high student dies crossing street
An early morning accident claims the life of a teenager headed to school.
It happened on the 3000 block of Deans Bridge Road near the Number One Mobile Home Park.
16 year-old Alesia Henderson lived there and was trying to cross Deans Bridge Road.
The accident happened around 7 o'clock yesterday morning. Alesia's boyfriend was with her when the accident happened.
61-year-old Sandra Chavous of Augusta was driving the car. Deputies do not expect to charge her in this accident.
One jailed, two wanted in Red Carpet Inn murder
One man is behind bars and two more are wanted for questioning in a murder Tuesday morning at the Red Carpet Inn on Gordon Highway.
22-year-old Terrance Moore of Augusta was shot and killed there.
Another man, 22-year-old Eddie Freeman, was also shot. He is being held for questioning at the Richmond County Jail.
Investigators say he went to the hotel with at least two other men to pick up a truck.
One of those men, 30-year-old Byron Elliard, is wanted for questioning.
Investigators are also looking for 18-year-old Antwan Rogers. He is also wanted for questioning.
Suspect in two shootings turns self in
A suspect in two separate shootings turned himself in to police in Aiken County.
D'Angelo Jackson is charged with murder, assault and battery with intent to kill, and burglary.
Deputies say Jackson and another man knocked on a mobile home door on Horseshoe Bend Drive on September 6 and shot and killed Phillip Morris.
Two days later, deputies say Jackson and another man kicked in the door of a mobile home on Old Pope Road, rummaged through the home, and then shot Jeffrey Battle, who survived.
The Aiken County Sheriff's Department says more arrests are likely in both cases.

Reviewed By David D (El Paso, TX) Reviewed for a 2009 Porsche 911 —12/7/2009 7:13 AM
After driving sports cars for over 40 yrs I finally gave in and bought a radar detector. I am careful driver, never speed more than 6 miles over the speed limit or with the flow of traffic but, since the City and the County have found a new source of generating revenue with camera radar and more speed traps I decided I wouldn't be another victim. Always driving a sports car, I didn't want to be a target for tickets but the local governments are trying to fill the void in their bloated spending with revenue from companies that are paid on the numbers of tickets and values they can send out. And to increase the violation rate they have reducedd the yellow light caution time by 1-2 seconds, reducing safety and increasing revenue from all the extra tickets. So I did my research and bought the best in its category and no radar jamming capabilities. I haven't increased the speed of my driving, but it has already saved me serveral tickets in upscale residentual areas. Dave D.

EAGLE COUNTY, Colorado - The story of Easter is the oldest in the Christian faith. But how that story is told depends on the pastor, and the world.
Easter is the Christian celebration of the execution and resurrection of Jesus. The story promises life eternal to all who believe. That story packs churches around the world every year, and the Vail Valley is no exception.
In Vail, the ancient tradition of sunrise services continues atop Vail Mountain, at Eagle's Nest. Father Brooks Keith - pastor at the Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration - said the first time he preached at that service was one of the biggest surprises of his life.
"The sunrise service can have 500 or 600 people," Keith said. "I almost fainted the first year I did it."
But if you're a Christian minister, Easter is the big day, the day the promise of Christmas is fulfilled. It's that promise that fuels Keith's ministry.
"I tell people I've only ever had one sermon, and it's this," he said. That said, Keith added that preaching an Easter service "is like riding a bucking bronco to me."
This year, Keith plans to twist the Latin phrase for "we have a Pope" to "we have a savior."
"Boy, do we need one," Keith said. "The message has never been more timely, or more under assault."
Keith will give that message several times on Easter, at services from the top of the mountain to the interfaith chapels in Vail, Beaver Creek and Edwards, six in all. But, he said, the story never gets old.
Baptist minister Ethan Moore also participates in the mountaintop services - he and Keith switch off being the lead pastor every year, and this is Moore's year to lead the service.
Moore's day will start with that service - at 6 a.m. - and end when he's finished with his last service, which starts at 5:30 p.m.
Moore's message this year is about the significance of the resurrection, of course, but will also go into the difference between being a "Christian" and being a "disciple." For disciples, he said, the story of the resurrection is the most important thin in their lives.
Gracious Savior Lutheran Church in Edwards has a sunrise service this year - in the atrium of the church, facing the Gore Range, but inside, where it's warm.
"We have coffee, too," Pastor Jason Haynes said.
Haynes said he's going to talk about hope, "today, every day and eternally," a hope that's based on God's promises.
"It's not about ability, or the economy or the weather - it's about who Jesus is and his love for us," Haynes said.
Eagle River Presbyterian Church Pastor Rob Wilson's sermon will pull from his own memory, likening redemption to the feeling a small, lost boy in a big grocery store has when finally wrapped in his mother's embrace.
"We all feel like that at times in our lives," Wilson said. "There's that sense of being alone after losing a loved one, or being lost in sin, or addiction." The promise of the resurrection is the solution, and has been since the first Easter, Wilson said.
And the story never, ever gets old.
"Easter is one of the marker events in my life," Moore said. "It's another year of meeting the crew at the gondola and heading up - that's a marker."

Quote: XvScott, this is God speaking:
you do not like rap music. you tolerate it only when it behaves as a vehicle for some other kind of expression.
When I heard the snippets of the Hope album on HHI, you have no idea how happy it made me to hear the new lyrics... an acknowledgement of what came before, all the things that went into the pot and created Sage in the first place.
He's a language technician. It's beautiful to watch a craftsman operate.
Quote: "real hip hop" is a euphemism for "my favourite hip hop", no matter who says it.
real hip hop was a short lived cultural event in seventies inner city new york. it was over by the mid-eighties. everything else is a distorted reflection or modulated echo.
"backpacker" is a word that's had a tortured evolution... to people who listen to Jay-Z, it means people who listen to Sole... and vice versa. When it was coined, it just meant heads that wore backpacks to clubs... probably graf writers or weed dealers, but definitely not macks. It sort of implied that the dude cared about the music rather than looking fly. Now I can't really understand why people use it the way they do.
Sage's rhymes on Hope ARE saying something, it just happens to be a cultural statement rather than a political or intimately autobiographical one, except inasmuch as one's cultural being is political and/or intimate.
He's a gifted poet who can make me relate to events and feelings I've never had to deal with, as he did on Personal Journals... but you know what my favourite track on that album is? Personal Journalist, the hardcore rap workout. It's not because it's more fun, it's because I relate to it better. It speaks my language.
What I heard from Hope is like that, too.

Thinking about getting a face-lift? They've come a long way. Early on, face-lifts just tightened skin; today's face-lifts do more by repositioning muscle, skin, and fat.
The best candidates for face-lift surgery are people who show some signs of facial aging but still have some skin elasticity. Generally, this includes people who are in their 40s to 70s, although older people occasionally are candidates.
Before you get a face-lift, you should be in good health and have realistic expectations. A face-lift won't completely erase your years; the goal is to have a refreshed, less tired look.
Your Face-Lift Consultation
If you've decided to explore a face-lift, set up a consultation with a surgeon.
At the consultation, you should talk about your goals for your face-lift. Tell your surgeon what you want to change and why. You'll also talk about your current health, your medical history, any prescriptions or supplements you take, and whether you smoke.
The surgeon will consider all of that, examine your face, and talk with you about your options.
It may be that you don't need a face-lift but a more minor procedure that will achieve your goals.
Your surgeon may also suggest additional minor changes, such as a chin implant or eyebrow lift. He or she may use computer imaging to show you how you'll look with these changes and may also take photos of you to assess your situation.
At your consultation, your surgeon should also talk to you about risks and costs.
Does Insurance Cover a Face-Lift?
No. Health insurance companies typically don't cover cosmetic surgery that you choose to get without a medical reason. So you should expect to pay the full costs yourself.
Ask your surgeon for a complete list of all the costs, including anesthesia, operating room and recovery, follow-up care, and any required prescriptions.
Make sure you ask your health insurance company about its policies and how having the face-lift will affect your coverage. Some insurance companies may raise your premiums after you get cosmetic surgery. And getting a face-lift may affect future coverage. You may want to consider getting a supplemental insurance policy that will cover treatment for any complications of cosmetic surgery if your plan won't cover that.
