Buying a Bicycle
Bicycle Basics
If you buy a bike, you should also:
Purchasing a New Bicycle - Bicycle Shops
Bicycle shops offer a variety of bicycles and usually have knowledgeable sales people who can answer your questions. They also sell accessories for your bike, and can perform bicycle maintenance and repairs. However, they may be more expensive than other stores that sell bicycles, such as department stores.
Examples of Local Bicycle Shops
For other bike shops in the area visit Arborweb.
Department Stores
Buying a bike at a department store is usually less expensive than buying a bike at a bicyle shop. However, the bikes usually come unassembled, and specific tools may be needed to put them together. Department store sales staff will probably not know as much about bicycles and bicycling as sales staff who work in bicycle shops.
Examples of Local Department Stores
Purchasing Used Bikes
Some students choose to purchase used bikes, which are often less expensive than new bikes. You can look for used bikes:
In addition, the East Quad Bike Co-op repairs and remodels donated bicycles and can help you fix a used bicycle, or sometimes provide an entire used bicycle for you.
Getting to the Store and Getting Your New Bike Home
You can get to local bicycle shops and department stores by AATA bus
Remember that although all AATA buses have racks to hold bikes, only 2 bikes can be transported at a time, so you may not be able to take your new bike home on the bus. Unassembled bicycles are not allowed on the bus. You may want to take a taxi, have a friend give you a ride, or ride your new bike home.

I have to agree with you on this one.The only pair who was robbed was Pang and Tong
I have to agree with you on this one.The only pair who was robbed was Pang and Tong
I agree with most here that while T&M deserved to win, they weren't the most exciting gold medalists. I also agree that Z&Z have no business being in second place.
I think pairs is just going through one of its down periods. I remember it seeming pretty bleak between 94 and 98. I remember an even less inspiring Russian pair, Eltsova and...his name escapes me...starts with a B? They won at least one, maybe two Wolrd titles. After a while, B&S, S&P and S&Z came around. I'm sure pairs will improve again.
One gripe i have with the pairs is how many pairs had lost unison! It wasn't just the Chinese. Is this a side effect of the COP? I don't remember so many pairs losing their unison on the SBS spins...
The only one I remember in SLC having made that mistake was S/Z...
Due to COP, the pairs are doing much harder spins than they used to, with more changes of edges, leg, and position. It's harder to synchronize. Even pairs that generally have no problems with their spins had a problem or 2 last night, probably due to Olympic nerves to Pang and Tong who did the best SBS spins ever for a Chinese pair!
You're thinking of Eltsova & Bushkov, who trained under Moskivin, Tamara Moskvinna's husband, then switching Pavlova, who has trained Totmianina & Marinin prior to their switching to Vasiliev, as well as Berezhnaja prior to her teaming up with Sikhuralidze. They did indeed win Worlds in 1996, but I would equate that to Petrova & Tikhonov's World medal.Originally Posted by Antilles
I wouldn't, I've actually enjoyed a lot of P/T's skating (even in their retro 'sovietesque' period) but I found the Zamboni machine more entertaining than E/BOriginally Posted by Ptichka
Yeltsova & Bushkov were world champions in 1996. They had to settle for the silver in 1997 when the gold was given to Woetzel and Steyer, inspite of them having problems on both throws. Y&B had some nice things- she had wonderful rotations in the air. They were quite pleasing to watch, but certainly not at the same caliber of the great Russian pairs of the past. It was a down period in pairs. G&G only skated in the 94 Olympics. Sergei Grinkov died in 1995. Around the same time M&D split. K&D had just paired up and were going through growing pains. Meno & Sand just could not get it done under pressure, so there were different world champs every year (93-B&E, 94 S&N, 85-K&N, 96 Y&B, 97 W&S). In 1998 B&S established themselves as a great talent. S&Z, though very raw, emerged as a pair of the future. K&D had developed enough to win the OGM.Originally Posted by Antilles
Right now Russia is certainly going through a down period but T&M totally belong among the great Russian pairs. They have great basics, extensions, and they express themselves through their body lines. However, now that they are retiring and Pet-Tik are also retiring, there is no one to carry the torch. I have doubts about O&S despite their talent. Russia has been a leader in pairs skating for so long that it is going to feel strange. The Chinese pairs brought athleticism and excitement but they are taking away the finesse, the solid foundation, and the beauty of pairs skating. So I think for the next few years we will see a down period in pairs skating. Some new pairs may emerge, but they are likely to be from other countries - Canada and USA are very likely candidates.
i also have to agree with the fact that pang & tong were robbed. i thought their fp was phenomenal (despite a few minor mistakes) and their musicality was excellent... they also had one awesome sbs spin. even though zhang & zhang's podium placement is a bit questionable, my hat is off to them for going for the quad sal throw. anyone with the courage to get thrown across the ice, rotate four times, and land on foot gets a standing ovation in my book, and it's not like it was something "insane" for them to do... they had a 40% success rate with the move and were landing it in practice. so bravo to them for trying something new.
Yep exactly - its a change in pivot position...the traditional death spiral pivot for the man is the back pivot and they switch to front pivot for difficulty.Originally Posted by Mathman
I think its the ugliest because the men don't keep the line they end up breaking a the waist and sticking their bum's out...ugly ugly ugly....but such is the way with CoP, its seems the uglier the position, the more difficulty you rack up.
Are you for real???? Did you watch the fall and countless agonising slow mo replays? You really do have some vile opinions.Originally Posted by slutskayafan21
in line with DG's questioning the length of time for Z&Z to continue has come up from several of my friends who happen to be casual fans.
I hd trouble answering it with the referee's ok. Can anyone explain this?
It did seem like a long time.Originally Posted by dlkksk8fan
Joe i don't have the rules to hand but someone who is very well read quoted from the rule book to me that there is one rule about being allowed 2 mins because of a disruption pertaining to something like a lace breaking or coming loose or a piece of costume coming off, there's another about the referees whistle being blown (which is was in the case of Z&Z) in case of medical conerns/attention, once the referree is satisfied that the correct action has been taken, and the skaters decide to continue, they then have two minutes to get themselve together to pick up their program from where the referee blew the whistle.Originally Posted by Joesitz
I don't follow this, they have to consult with the referee or whoever and decide whether or not to continue and get themselves together within 2 minutes?Originally Posted by antmanb
Or does the referee blow the whistle, get the situation sorted out, and then blow it again at which point they have two minutes (that would make more sense, but being the ISU I realize making sense isn't a priority).
Sorry - the referee blows the whistel to being teh progrm to an end and mark where in the music the skaters "finished". They then get medical attention/consultation. Once the referee is satisfied that the thing is sorted he then times two minutes and the music goes back on and the skaters pick up from where they left off.Originally Posted by Mafke
Effectively the time allowed to be paused is as long as it takes plus two minutes.

how to convert between (system of polynomials or module) and rational function which is a four dimensional space
Hi everyone
Right now I am working on a command that calculates the molar mass of molecules. Mostly it is working like a charm but in some cases the interpretation of the input goes wrong. The command converts the input to a string, e.g.:
f:=convert(Ca3(PO4)2, string) = "Ca[3](PO[4])[2]"
f := StringTools:-Remove("[]_*^+-", f) = "Ca3(PO4)2"
However, sometimes information such as parentheses is lost (which is understandable considering the fact that maple does not know chemical syntax):
f := convert(NH[3][3]*PO[4], string) = "NH[3][3]*PO[4]"
f := StringTools:-Remove("[]_*^+-", f) = "NH33PO4"
In special cases it goes completely nuts (I am aware this is not a real molecule):
f := convert(Al(OH)2(NH3)2, string) = "Al(`#msub(mfenced(mi("OH")),mn("2"))`)(NH[3])[2]"
The problem could of course simply be solved by typing the input as a string with no subscripts but is looks much nicer with the correct chemical syntax as input.
Do any of you know a way to translate the input charactor by charactor into a (understandable) string?
Thanks in anvance,Mads
Here is an example of manipulating an Array of pixels. I chose the x-rite ColorChecker as a model so there would be published results to check my work. A number of details about color spaces have become clear through this exercise. The color adaptation process was modeled by converting betweenXYZ and LMS. Different black points may be selected depending on how close to zero illuminance one would accept as a good model.
I look forward to extending this work to verify and improve the color calibration of my photography. Also some experimentation with demosaicing should be possible.

Combine Steps
Note: The aRGB values published for ColorChecker assume a black point of 0cd/m^2.
Convert XYZ to ProPhoto RGB (D50)
Convert XYZ to sRGB (XYZ D50 or D65 to sRGB D65)
Note: The sRGB values published for ColorChecker assume a black point of 0cd/m^2.
Corrections to the original version of theis document; Make the scaling for a nonzero black point the same for all RGB color spaces. Clip negative RGB values to zero. Remove the redundant Array container from matrix multiplications.Use map in place of the $ to apply a function to each element of an Array.
expand( (a+b)^n)
none expands in binomial form. Is there any way for Maple to generate binomial expansion of (a+b)^n without
entering manually.

you can change help of older maple version to 18 by this command:
for example if you download DirectSearch optimization package it's help don't open in maple 18 because in maple 18 .hdb converted to .help and you can do this convert by HelpTools:-Database:-ConvertAll():
DirectSearch version 2 created for maple 13 and i converted it's help to 18.
after i typed this command maple 18 wrote:
"Converting G:\\Program Files\\Maple 18\\lib\\DirectSearch.hdb to G:\\Program Files\\Maple 18\\lib\\DirectSearch.help"Warning, .hdb help databases are deprecated, 'G:\Program Files\Maple 18\lib\DirectSearch.hdb' will not be used, see ?HelpTools,Migrate help page for more information.
and when try again it worked properly and DirectSearch help opened.
I am using Maple 15 to numerically solve a system of differential algebraic euqations (DAE) with given initial conditions, and I've tried rfk45_dae and rosenbrock_dae solver, but both solver responded in error like this
Error, (in dsolve/numeric) cannot numerically solve complex DAE initial value problems, the system must be converted to a real system
I don't understand what is a real system, and how could i convert it to a real system.

But I use the clickable facilities of Maple. Here is the problem:
>32[[degC]]; 32[[degC]]right-click -> Units -> Replace units -> degF
288 --- [[degF]] 5 >evalf[5]( (2) ); 57.600[[degF]]
but if I do that:
>convert(32, 'temperature', 'degC', 'degF'); 448 --- 5 >evalf[5]( (4) ); 89.600
Why the conversion is bad when you try to do it by the clickable way????????????

I have two 6x1 Matrices which are the results of a calculation process in Maple. One with a set of equations and the other one with a set of variables:
A := [0, f(x6), f(x6), 0, 0, f(x6)];
b := [x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6];
I'd like to solve the following system:
for i from 1 to 6 do
eq[i] := A[i] = b[i]:
which is
eq[1] := 0 = x1;
eq[2] := f(x6) = x2;
eq[3] := f(x6) = x3;
If I type in the eqations manually, and execute "s := solve({eq[1],..,eq[6]},{x1,..,x6})" everything solves fine.
If I use the "for i from..." - structure, and execute "s := solve({eq[1],..,eq[6]},{x1,..,x6})" I get an empty space as solution.
I've tried to convert both matrices into lists, but it doesn't work.
Could it be that Maple doesnt know that x6 has to be the x6 in the function f(x6) ?
Can anyone tell me how to solve this please?
i am trying to solve 6 ODE with boundary condition

Dear Mapleprimes,
I have been struggling with a problem in the last couple of days. I wish to export a Maple plot to LaTeX while ensuring font consistency. While searching for solutions online, I found the psfrag package in LaTeX. So far, however, I have been unsuccesful in making this work. As as test, I attempted to export plot(x^2) to LaTeX. I used the following code to convert to .eps which worked fine:
plotsetup(ps, plotoutput = `plot1.eps`, plotoptions = `portrait, noborder,height=5in,width=5in`);plot(x^2);
Then in LaTeX, I have:
\begin{figure}[!h]\centering\psfrag{x}{$ \alpha $}\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{plot1.eps}\end{figure}\end{document}
However, no replacements are made. After intense Google searching I found the following post http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/43255-Trouble-Replacing-Maple-Axes-Labels which to sum up argues that this was only possible with earlier versions of Maple.
Does anyone know if the problem has been resolved?
Does anyone know any other ways to ensure font consistency for plots imported from Maple to LaTeX?
Thank you very much in advance!
Hi all,
Say I have some list like this,
tmp:=[[0, 0, 1], [0, 1, 0], [0, 1, 1], [0, 1, 2], [1, 0, 0], [1, 0, 1], [1, 0, 2], [1, 1, 0], [1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 2], [1, 2, 0]];
And I have worked out some probabilities for each of them, a,b,c,d, ect.
I want to print them like this
Pr( 001 ) = 1
Pr( 010 ) = 1-phi[2]+phi[2]*(1-p[3])*(1-phi[3])
Pr( 011 ) = phi[2]*p[3]*(1-phi[3])
and so on.
I there a way to do that?
The probabilities can be extracted from a Vector. I have no problem to print them.
I dont know how to convert the 0,1,2 into the desired format as shown above.
This is the best I can do.
Also, is it possible to convert all the subscripte [] to _ when printing the output?
and get ride of all * as well.

Apple iOS versus Android
As Android's popularity grows its competitors look for ways to slow it down.
Things are looking a little rough for Android right now. Its increased popularity is not only attracting millions of new fans but is also attracting unwanted patent attention from competitors unhappy with its success.
Earlier this week Apple won a significant patent claim against HTC, one of the main proponents of Google's Android OS. The win, over two software-related patents, positions Apple to go after other handset makers that use similar technologies. Apple already has pending cases against Samsung and Motorola, both heavy Android users.

text: 000 FXUS63 KEAX 241737 AFDEAX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 1237 PM CDT Sat Sep 24 2016 .Discussion... Issued at 351 AM CDT SAT SEP 24 2016 The final day of much-above normal temperatures across the area - at least for this particular stretch - will be on Saturday. Building clouds will bring some relief from the sun as the mid/upper ridge breaks down with the advance of a fairly potent upstream trough. The first half of the day, and in fact most likely into the late afternoon to early evening should remain dry as pressure height falls slowly occur through the day. Still expecting highs today to reach the middle to upper 80s by later this afternoon. As the mid level trough approaches the area and pressure heights undergo steady lowering scattered showers and thunderstorms will form, most likely across eastern Kansas and western Missouri. Areas of central Missouri should remain drier for a few hours longer than areas further west. Showers and thunderstorms will increase in coverage through the evening hours as the mid level trough finally ejects into the area, bringing good support for mid level ascent. Temperatures at the surface, as mentioned earlier, will likely reach the middle to upper 80s, with dew points likely in the upper 60s to lower 70s. This will bring CAPE values well above 1000 J/kg, perhaps into the 2000 to 2500 J/kg range by late this afternoon and early evening. Deep layer shear in the 30 to 35 knot range will be enough to combine with the instability to bring a chance for some strong to severe storms Saturday evening. Storm coverage will likely increase first in central/eastern Kansas and move NE within the southwesterly flow aloft. Storms coverage will be rather robust, which not only means high PoPs for the evening period, but also means storm organization will be hard to come by. Expect there to be enough interference among the ample storm updrafts to prevent much in the way of organized supercellular development. Instead the most likely form of storm mode will be clusters or linear segments that could bring gusty winds, perhaps as high as 60 mph. While each individual shower will be moving swiftly within the deep 30 to 40 knot flow, the line of storms themselves will be tied to the motion of the trough itself, which could bring a longer residence time of the line of thunderstorms. Therefore, while widespread flooding is not a concern with this system, flood prone areas could see some problems as an inch to 2 inches could fall over a wide area, with isolated higher amounts. Chance/likely Pops will remain in the forecast as long as the surface front itself continues to lag north of the area. Once the front clear the area PoPs will decline. Expect the front to move through NW/W MO by noon on Sunday, which will keep portions of central Missouri with a wet forecast through at least Sunday afternoon. The front should clear central Missouri by early Sunday evening, which should mean a dry forecast for all areas Sunday late afternoon or early evening through the next several days, as dry/cool air associated with the surface ridge dominates the area through at least the middle part of the week. Mid level ridge will dominate the area, which will cause temperatures to rise through the week, although they should stay around seasonal normals in the middle to upper 70s. As that ridge moves east southwest flow aloft will increase as the next trough approaches the area. A surface trough at the surface will cause surface winds to respond out of the south, which will bring another batch of warm/moist air for the aforementioned late week trough to use for another round of rain. At this time, the bulk of the rain later this week looks to stay west of the area as the trough lags just west of the area, but will introduce some SChc PoPs for the western 1/2 of the forecast area later this week. && .Aviation...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday Afternoon) Issued at 1237 PM CDT SAT SEP 24 2016 Band of numerous showers and embedded thunderstorms over central KS will make slow eastward progress, and much of this activity will not cross into western MO until after dark. However, a few isolated to scattered weak thunderstorms are possible ahead of this line as early as 3 to 4 pm for the KC area. Off-and-on showers and a few storms will continue overnight until a cold front swings through around sunrise. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE. MO...NONE. && $$ Discussion...Leighton Aviation...Hawblitzel

I think this is harsh, since the document does not purport to be an evaluation of capability systems as a design model. It is an attempt to provide an imperfect retrospective analysis of then-existing practice (some of which was very obscure then and remains so now). I think you should look harder at the conclusion, in particular the sentences buried in the paragraph beginning "Second,..." ... there are extensions (to what is defined as traditional capability-based systems) that have been proposed for, and implemented in, experimental systems which allow the support of security policies and accountability mechanisms similar to those of TCSEC. All such extensions are well within the limits of present-day technology. This suggests that one cannot rule out a priori a system based on capabilities from environments where the requirements of the TCSEC are important.... Note the last sentence in particular. While we may disagree with the report's conclusion that: ... traditional capability-based systems prevent the implementation of security policy and accountability as required by the TCSEC... We need to be very careful to remember several things: 1. The KeyKOS factory result was not understood by the authors. It wasn't issued until mid-1986, and it is (at best) an obscure and opaque desciption). 2. The Harrison-Ruzzo-Ullman result was out of scope: this was a paper addressing then-existing practice, which had largely ignored the HRU work. 3. In the context of the times, there was a strong push to abandon capability systems as foundationally insecure. The fact that this paper from this group of people affirmatively kept the door open was a big deal. Finally, I think that the concluding critique: ...and make some aspects of trusted facility management and recovery more difficult than those of other systems. Is pretty clearly accurate. In any case, I suppose my main point is that documents like this need to be read in historical context. shap

Firstly the food, Breakfast, if you want scrambled eggs made with real eggs you can't get them (I did ask), unfortunately Cunard now serve the reconstituted eggs. The toast is always cold, hard and poor quality, little squares of sliced bread is used. Otherwise the breakfast is good.
Lunch - don't have the club sandwich, I ordered it one day it came to the table and had to send it back the bread was soggy, so soggy in fact I had to ask what it was as all of the mayo had soaked into the bread it looked more like a thick soggy pancake (I then ordered the fish fillets with chips which were excellent). The food in the pub is very good and tasty. However be prepared to wait for drinks.
Pre dinner drinks in the cocktail lounge, there are lots of waiters to take your order in fact we were asked 3 times what we would like to drink only to say we had already ordered but had to wait 10 minutes for the drink to arrive as there was only 1 man making up the drinks. This happened frequently.
Dinner, very good, however in the good old days when it came to the cheese and biscuits a cheese board came to the table and you cold select what you want now you get little squares of cheese, as for the Stilton you sometimes have to ask for this and again you get a few little squares that have just come out of the fridge.
I have emailed Cunard about this and got a reply saying they would get back to me. I am still waiting for a reply.

The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Make a bewitching spell book to decorate your home this Halloween. These Halloween decorating craft ideas from Vicki O'Dell are easy and spooky!
- Paper mache book
- Three shades of grey and black paint
- Gold leafing pen
- Natural sponge
- Stencil for lettering
- Paint the book inside and out with the darkest black.
- After it dries, sponge lighter colors of paint all over to give it a mottled, aged look.
- Write the word "SPELLS" on the cover with a gold leave pen.
- Make sure it's throughly dry and add some more paint with the sponge to dull the brightness of the gold.
- Because the book opens you could store something inside or turn the inside into a spooky Halloween collage. You could also put pictures of your children all dressed up inside, add new pictures every year and when Halloween rolls around again they'll have fun looking at all of the costumes they've had over time.

This is a great and cool idea! You could also write some simple/silly "spells" in it to amuse/gross-out the people reading it.

…and, given the dire situation UMass found itself in coming into this weekend's tilts in Middle-of-Nowherono, ME, it may yet be ongoing. But let's not take anything away from the fact that the Minutemen sounded like a team on a mission tonight. They pounced all over freshman Shawn Sirman, to the point where we actually did get to see old friend Dave WIIIIIIILLLLLSSOOOOONNNN make a cameo (and, oddly enough, he didn't give up any goals, which is decidedly un-Wilson-like).
Now, granted, we're talking a UMass team with the season on the line against a Maine team that might not get home ice if they drop both games and the rest of the league action goes against them, not to mention playing in a not-so-hostile Spring Break edition of Alfond Arena. But the stakes for UMass's last game were basically the same on both ends, and despite playing one of the best defensive games we've seen from the maroon-and-white all year long, against an Eagles team playing in front of a listless crowd and with 2nd-place (no more, no less) all but locked up, the Minutemen still weren't able to capitalize on their chances.
Now, the three principal writers here at Fight Mass were sitting mere feet away at the Hangar on Tuesday for the RNX hockey show, and though we weren't really able to hear most of Toot's outburst about his team, we were able to piece together between the various web recap/transcripts and our visible impression of him that Mr. Cahoon was mad as hell and wasn't going to take it anymore, regarding the behind-the-scenes behavioral stuff going on with this team. Clearly, his words finally got through tonight, and Hockey East was reminded that UMass is about as big a wildcard as one can imagine.
Could they still miss the playoffs? Easily. But the Minutemen have nonetheless put themselves into a position to climb as high as 6th, grab some positive momentum (which had slowwwwly been building during two straight frustrating L's), and crash someone's playoff party, like they came so very very close to doing to Northeastern last year.
Barring a disaster tomorrow, the Minutemen have, at the very least, shown us that they cared. The eulogy we were prepared to write for these guys a few weeks ago involved more of the same from the past couple years: lamenting the Cahoon Swoon, pondering what might have been had a key underrated defenseman not missed significant time down the stretch, wondering what exactly is going on with the discipline behind closed doors and the mentality of the players, even considering blaming ourselves and our friends for contributing to the players' sense of celebrity and entitlement on this campus.
But why worry about the eulogy before we know when the funeral is?
P.S. Tomorrow afternoon. Senior night for men's hoops at the Mullins Center, 4 PM. Free t-shirts, and a chance to honor one of the all-time greats to don the maroon-and-white, or at least one of the best pure scorers in school history, Lex Mongo Ricky Harris. Plus, it's URI (sucks). So, uhh, go. And get your friends to go too. Did I mention free t-shirts?
"This is what you get, when you mess with us…"
Ah, Radiohead's "Karma Police." A true classic of 90's rock off of one of the best albums of the 90's (OK Computer), a song that feels like it's been around for ages (though it was, in fact, released in 1997, which is the year after the Lowell River Hawks hockey program last made the NCAA Tournament, or so we've been most elegantly told). And though the dreamy croon of Thom Yorke's voice actually tells a story of raging against the corporate machine (or something – who the hell really knows what Thom Yorke is thinking at any given time), the message of "what goes around comes around" is expressed as well as I've heard in any song, Justin Timberlake be damned.
"This is what you get / When you mess with us" is probably the most memorable portion of the song, and it describes pretty succinctly this past weekend's much-anticipated two game set between the University of Massachusetts and its sister program to the east, a battle between teams that once climbed to #9 and #3 respectively in the national polls, two teams with distinctly different expectations coming into the season yet finding themselves in a virtual deadlock coming in. This was a UMass team, trying to avoid a third consecutive year of building something out of nothing (expectations-wise) then watching that something collapse. This was a Lowell team, crumbling under the weight of colossal expectations, pressured to continue to provide Lowell's one avenue of superiority over its bigger and, in our unbiased opinion, prettier sister.
On Friday night, UMass got sick and tired of watching the little sister come into the Bill and throw its weight around. They dominated the first period, survived a shaky second period, and capitalized on Lowell's now-characteristic lack of discipline at key points to earn a hard-fought 3-2 win in front of a student section that was low on numbers but high on spirit. Both teams had spectacular chances, both goalies made spectacular saves. It was as evenly-played a game as I've seen all year, and probably the most entertaining (yes, more fun than the Maine slugfest or last weekend's road domination of Northeastern). If you weren't on the edge of your seat the entire game, you probably don't have a pulse.
Last night, Matt and myself, as well as his girlfriend and a few of our other friends, made our first road-trip out to Tsongas Arena to see the conclusion of the two-game set. After all, we were understandably curious to see what makes this place such a superior venue for hockey than our beloved Bill, an assertion made by no shortage of obnoxious Facebook kids, passionate forum posters and, yes, even a certain other hockey blog you might have heard of.
***We're happy to hear that they're still alive and well over at TIIL, by the way; after the grim "Googling a noose" tweet following their Princeton loss we were especially concerned that two losses to "lowly" "Amherst" would be the straw that broke the camel's back. We thoroughly enjoyed reading their analysis of our blog aloud before Friday's game in various Family Guy voices such as Brian Griffin's screwy clone and Mort Goldman, and we're taking a lot of their advice to heart – besides, we owe them a shout out after all the free publicity they unwittingly gave us. I will not, however, be going by "E.M. Bitter" anytime soon, though I appreciate the suggestion. And by the way, yes, Weezer's albums have mostly sucked since Pinkerton, but they're still great live, since they only play the good stuff. At least they did when I saw them last year in – oddly enough – the Tsongas Arena.
But really, to put this to bed, we understand your rule #10, that you're "just havin' some fun." So are we. We're glad that we're not the only ones who think hockey's the greatest sport in the world, as much as it pains us to admit it, we appreciate your contributions to the hockey blogging world. We apologize for taking things too seriously, and all future trash talk will contain 92% less glaring factual errors.)***
Anyway, here are the many fun things we learned during the Tsongas Experience (TM).
- Tsongas Arena has the world's greatest scoreboard over center ice. No, really. It displays text images in a whopping three, count 'em, three wonderful colors: off-orange, something vaguely resembling blue, and something even more vaguely resembling red. Simply remarkable.
- Additionally, Tsongas has installed lovely ribbon-scoreboards along the sides of the arena. These marvels of visual technology are as close to a real videoboard that they offer here, and following a Lowell goal you get to see – we shit you not – the eyes of the goal-scorer. And let me be the first to tell you, Patrick Cey's are positively dreamy.
- We've heard our beloved Bill referred to as "dim." We've always found it rather bright in there, especially after experiencing minor-league hockey in venues like Manchester's Verizon Wireless Arena and the good ol' Worcester IceCats at the DCU Center Centrum. But now it all makes sense, because relatively speaking, the Mullins Center is the goddamn Batcave, and Tsongas is the Flanders' house in the very first Simpsons Christmas episode. This seems ironic for an arena without a videoboard, but the Mullins, despite all the silly things about it, manages not to abuse said videoboard too much. Meanwhile, Lowell does all it can to take the focus off the action on the ice and put it on the antics of their mascot and that insufferable woman hostess who would periodically mumble announcements across the PA system, presumably offering "prizes" of Lowell memorabilia to contest winners. Yeah, yeah, we get it, entertain the kids too, etc, but Mullins does a much better job, in our completely biased opinion, of balancing that shit with the game presentation and not just making us feel like we're at an AHL game. In Tsongas's defense, we missed the starting lineups and pre-game stuff, so we will have to give that a pass. For now.
- The arena sound person does a good job playing "every fucking song from Rock Band" between action, which, in all honesty, seemed unnecessary in an arena with a live pep band present. He or she also seems to be a big fan of Ke$ha's "TiK ToK," so much so that they just had to hear a few seconds of it in the middle of game action in the 2nd period. I mean, damn, it is catchy, but come on.
- The PA announcer is equally inept; twice he forgot to announce the one-minute remaining mark (leading to some very entertaining "thirty seconds left in the period" announcements). He also referred to Wellman's 10-minute misconduct for slashing the goalie after the whistle as "shooting after the whistle," which understandably made us pretty angry until we found out what really happened after the game. (Not that we agree with the actual call anyway, but we'll address that momentarily.)
- Their chuck-a-puck contest, rather than a traditional one (like ours, or the one at most places) or a fun unique one (like Northeastern's "throw the puck into the dog bowl" game), their hawk mascot goes around the arena with – again, we can't even make this shit up – a shopping cart that you toss pucks into. Apparently even he would rather be a homeless bum than call this place home.
- It's an absolutely wonderful place to watch a game with children, because unlike the UMass students, their student section never uses any profanity. Oh, wait, they do! Y'see, in Lowell, it's offensive and in poor taste to yell "fuck 'em up" as part of your goal-scoring song, but when the f-bombs and middle fingers are directing toward our fans and players for two whole hours. Practice what you preach, or stop criticizing our behavior. (Frankly, we like the atmosphere, little kids be damned. Go see a Lowell Devils game, kids.)
- Speaking of little kids, we unfortunately were late to the game and couldn't join our student section, so we started our own row in the corner adjacent to them. This led to a row of 13-year-old boys who sat behind us and talked shit about UMass as if a) they even went to college and b) their college was winning the game. (This was in between several completely-serious conversations about the Twilight films, I might add.) At one point one of them said "Be respectful, keep it clean – that makes sense," referring to the back of my t-shirt. So at least Lowell kids know how to read. Fortunately their dad came to get them right after the Minutemen scored the winning goal – crying about the so-called Hockey East conspiracy as one would expect (more on that in a second) – and we got our chance to remind the kids that trash-talk is reserved for those who have actually gone through puberty.
- The pep band is pretty cool – I would absolutely love to hear our nationally-renowned marching band playing the "you suck" goal-scoring song, because it sounds soooo much better played by a college band. Their rendition of Lowell's fight song was also pretty awesome. …Wait, what's that you say? They don't…have a fight song like "Fight Mass" or, you know, most colleges? (Or if they do, they certainly didn't bother playing it, and it's nowhere to be found on their band's website.) Well at least we know now why our blog title would be deemed "unimaginative" by someone from Lowell.
- Yep. They have "beer." But hell if we're going to spend $5.25 on anything with "Bud" in the name.
Are we calling the Mullins Center perfect? Course not. We lack a pep band (not necessarily the team or arena's fault, of course), there are stupid dancing games between periods, the recording of "Fight Mass" used to skip (thankfully they appear to have fixed that), and it lacks the closeness of a smaller arena like, well, the rest of the arenas in Hockey East. And, yes, a scoreboard over center ice would be pretty sweet, provided it didn't look like it was borrowed from 1974. But between our much more coherent student section and vastly superior mascot, not to mention our arena's treating its inhabitants more like college hockey fans and less like a glorified AHL team (right down to the goddamned blimp!), we gotta say – we're feeling pretty good about the Bill right now.
On the plus side from the River Hawk perspective, the Lowell student section was pretty into the game, intersession and all. Likewise, our own student section was disappointingly tame. I wasn't over there but I'd imagine we got an Agganis-esque "only our kids are allowed to swear" ultimatum. Plus, it's obnoxious for our "Let's go UMass" chant to be followed by "…Lowell!" as if to simultaneously a) destroy any notion that their students actually do resent the UMass name as they so claim, and b) remind us that they are not the flagship of our university system. The university itself may insist that we be "UMass Amherst" to siphon the positive connotations associated with the "best college town in America" and the name-value of Amherst College. We know that "UMass" by itself means only one thing.
Alright, alright, so all the prerequisite "fun-at-Lowell's-expense" smack talk that follows a two-game sweep is out of the way. After all, we didn't want to disappoint anyone by going too easy on them. It's time to actually talk hockey. As I said, we were late, and so completely missed the disallowed Lowell goal at the start of the game, though we later read online that even the immortal Bob Ellis admitted to overreacting after a Lowell player was clearly in the crease for the goal. Still, Lowell came out and played balls-to-the-wall hockey, performing like a team with its season on the line, at home. UMass's first period wasn't quite as one-sided as the shots total would indicate, but it was clear they were doing all they could just to keep up with Lowell's desperation and intensity. Dainton played yet another brilliant game in net, and, like Hamilton on Friday night, lucked out on a couple occasions in the first period when Lowell had him beat. The much-vaunted Lowell defense was at its finest, blocking shots left and right and making life really difficult for the Minutemen power-play. Mark Concannon (Coco!!!) finally struck for his first goal of the season, but unlike the first period Friday where the 1-0 lead felt like it should have been much greater, we were counting our blessings.
Then the second period reared its ugly head, in which the following things happened:
- Lowell seemingly decided, as a team, to come at James Marcou and take him out however possible. This began with Maury Edwards delivering a vicious slash to the face, which I'll admit I didn't see the beginning of but which drew a "Jimmy's done" from a cringing Matt next to me. Edwards went to the box for a 5-minute "high-sticking" major, as the Lowell faithful lamented the Hockey East officials' perpetual hatred for their beloved program.
- This vast conspiracy was further proven by UMass's Casey Wellman being whistled for a two-minute minor and ten-minute misconduct for "shooting after the whistle" when he crossed the blue line, went to fire a shot, and had the whistle blow in mid-shot. Again, this was later officially listed as "slashing the goalie after the whistle," an infraction which pretty clearly never transpired either. But whatever. Between the Hawks opening Marcou head-hunting season, Steve Silva style (because we all saw how well that worked out for Northeastern), and the mysterious banishment of Wellman to the bench for a sixth of the game, the refs were clearly trying to help UMass win by any means necessary, even if it means imposing Bill Simmons's Ewing Theory on the Minutemen mid-game.
Between three additional penalties on UMass in the period, Jimmy playing hurt (he later left the ice for stitches), and Lowell now truly feeling the pressure, the River Hawks took complete control of the period, though again, this is all somehow in spite of a conspiracy against them. UMass's defense, to their credit, continued to play tough, even as the offense began playing like the joke of a Minutemen team that showed up in those blowouts against BU and UNH, which is to say, about as well as a drunk Southwest girl trying to fly a passenger jet. And when the Minutemen finally did get a couple opportunities, Carton Hutton was up to the challenge, including a ridiculous lunging save from his back on a late rebound. Ultimately, it was Patrick Cey with 8 minutes to go in the period who knotted the game up, and by that point, it was basically inevitable. Still, the Minutemen were able to slink away in a 1-1 tie, setting up the biggest period of the season for either team thus far.
Four seconds into period 3, Michael Budd set off a string of Lowell penalties with a seemingly harmless hooking infraction. Here, dear readers, is where the River Hawks fell into the rut that has plagued them for a good while now: lack of discipline where it counts. This is an all-too-familiar story for the Minutemen, as you'll remember the way UMass let their frustrations get the best of them in late-game meltdowns against BC and Bentley. Here, it was Lowell, at the worst possible time, who, instead of continuing their solid and, really, at-times dominant play of the earlier periods, got fed up with their efforts being unrewarded, and took out their frustrations with dumb penalties and stupid mistakes. Even when Jimmy got absolutely leveled from behind on an open-ice tackle by Scott Campbell, resulting – naturally – in matching penalties on embellishment (but hey, you know, conspiracy against Lowell and such), the overall penalty time did indeed favorite Massachusetts down the stretch. Lowell, to their credit, revved up their penalty-kill game, doing the thing they do best – defense – all the while looking for the opportunity to get their 2nd-period momentum back.
The River Hawks were playing well enough to win without resorting to goon hockey and going after Jimmy. Alas, after failing to capitalize on their chances throughout the first two periods, not to mention ten whole minutes in the critical second period where UMass was without its second-best player and a sizable two-way presence in Wellman, and all the dubious calls of the second period, the third period brought UMass and its overpowering power play too many sterling opportunities, and say what you will about the calls, but neither of those last two penalties looked "ticky-tack" the way this game had been called. Add that to Lowell's recent track record of late-game lack of discipline, and you have a team that was begging to give this game away, and that's what they did, after Matty Irwin stuffed home a long-overdue-for-him 5×3 goal with just over a minute to go, with Jimmy getting an assist in a turn of poetic justice. Lowell gave the final minute a valiant try, much to the dismay of our already-overworked hearts, but when we opened our eyes, the horn had sounded and our "cute" aspirations of a UMass sweep and the Alumni Cup – and the tiebreaker it entails – became reality. Huzzah.
Now, let's get things straight here: from a purely hockey perspective, Lowell deserved to win Saturday. But that wasn't enough, they had to go after Jimmy, and that's where the karma police came calling. Lowell assumed it would get the calls, assumed there was no way they could lose a season series to UMass given the recent history, and played a reckless third period, and the karma police struck again. The end result: UMass is sitting in 3rd place and just a couple points out of first; Lowell is swimming in the pool of mediocrity on the wrong side of the home-ice line.
All the trash-talk about the arena and students and the school itself aside, we here at Fight Mass will freely admit that, for the second period of Friday's game and the entirety of Saturday's duel, we were absolutely terrified of the River Hawks – dare I say, even respectful (for the first and probably only time ever, we've chosen not to refer to either Lowell or the River Hawks by any of our colorful array of nicknames). Entertainment value be damned, I do NOT want to see these guys in March, regardless of the venue, because if we do, it will involve a disciplinary turnaround on their part. And we shudder to think of this team pulling together and outperforming their talent level. Not that we're taking back what we said earlier this year about UMass being underrated and Lowell overrated – I think the results speak for themselves so far – but we never explicitly said Lowell was a bad team, either.
Just to butter up the karma police, though, I will say it again – Patrick Cey's eyes? Daaa-yumn.
One down…
…and 3.6, tomorrow and I'm out of here… (/Ben Folds)
Ahem. The Minutemen put together one of their finest performances of the season tonight (technically last night) and downed the River Hawks 3-2 at the Bill, making all of us at Fight Mass thoroughly happy. It was a bizarre game in which UMass thoroughly dominated for bursts, and fell back on their heels for stretches, but the defense was tough-as-nails throughout, and the Minutemen overcame a thoroughly impressive performance by Nevin Hamilton in net for Lowell. I'll be honest, when Lowell tied the game late in the 3rd on Auger's goal, then went on a power play with four minutes to go, it was one of the scariest moments of the season, but Lowell continued their pattern of untimely penalties and undisciplined play late in games and I believe it was Worthington whose penalty negated the man-advantage and led to Mikey's game-winner.
So now it comes down to tomorrow night, at Tsongas, for the Alumni Cup. The Minutemen have shown what can happen when they play to their potential, especially on the defensive end. Regardless, nothing seems to come easy for these guys, and with Lowell's collective back against the wall, this showdown in Coketown will undoubtedly be a key moment in their season going forward. UMass already blew one chance earlier this year to kick the Sewer Rats when they were down and out. With a potentially-huge student turnout from the Minutemen faithful across eastern Mass, and the suddenly-existent Lowell student section still on break, Tsongas should lose at least some of its intimidating edge. Toot and the boys may be able to afford to squander this opportunity, but it would behoove them not to.
-E.M. Bitter
(Yup. Finally read it. But more on that later; first, hockey.)
…..oh my.
Folks, in my four years at the University of Massachusetts, I've seen some crazy finishes. I've seen the highs: Chris Lowe driving coast-to-coast to completely ruin Rhody's season, the David Boehm OT game-winner, the Alabama NIT game, beating Kansas on the road, erasing a massive deficit right in the face of thousands of orange-clad douchebags. But this has to be up there at the top of the list, especially since I got to be there in person. Just an all-around fantastic win for Derek Kellogg and his program. When we were within 1 at halftime, I said I was proud of the way the team played. When we built the 7-point lead in the second half, I said "even if we blow this, I'm proud of these guys." And I would've been proud even if Memphis had managed to corral that ball in the final seconds before it miraculously snuck through to Ricky and then to a wide-open Vinson in the lane. The atmosphere at the Garden was unreal, like MSG for the NIT but with (obviously) a far greater percentage of UMass fans. Special props to the bartender upstairs at the Fours before the game; she put on quite the show dealing with the mob of maroon-wearers.
negativity alert, It sucked that a few loose cannons almost ruined the ending; these dumbass freshmen were so intent on storming the court that they felt obliged to fight against TD Garden security. It's those one or two clowns that are way more visible than the 99.99% of us UMass kids who can control ourselves, and that's where the misguided reputation comes from. We're not storming the court (in an arena that isn't even ours) over a win over the #26 team in the country.
resume positivity That said, I finally saw a team on the floor that I'm pretty confident will be competing with the best in the country in the next year or two (and when we beat a ranked team at the Mullins Center, then we'll storm the court – hell, I certainly would). And, dare I say (excess optimism alert) one that might just have enough sheer talent to make a surprise run in conference play. No, I don't think they're quite ready to compete on a national level – not just yet. However, I'm blinded by sleep deprivation, a busy day of moving out of the dorm for break, and travel to and from Boston for a wire-to-wire thriller of a basketball game. And as such, I will go ahead and say these guys might be closer than we thought.
(Meanwhile, I have a bone to pick with ESPN. Great that they covered the game, but I can't believe an upset like this doesn't even manage to make the front page of the basketball section, let alone the front page. If Vinson's not a SportsCenter Top Play, heads will roll.)
EDIT: #1 play on Top Plays. Alright, SportsCenter, I owe you an apology, you guys are on the ball.
All-in-all, an amazing day for the program. Let's see if they go on a roll now. Who knows, maybe we'll actually have a student section next game!

The Devils wrap up their regular season schedule against the Carolina Hurricanes Saturday afternoon at the Prudential Center. Here are three things to watch:
1. Facing a backup goalie. Cam Ward won't start for the Hurricanes. Instead, it will be Michael Leighton (6-6-2). Is it a chance to score score some goals and head into the playoffs feeling better about themselves?
2. Watch the scoreboard. The Devils still don't which which team they will face in the first round of the playoffs. It could be Carolina, Pittsburgh or Philadelphia. Here are the other games to watch: Flyers at Islanders (2 p.m.) and Penguins at Montreal (7 p.m.).
3. The return of Niclas Havelid. He has played extremely well since being acquired from Atlanta before the trade deadline, but Havelid missed the last three games with lower body soreness. He needs this game as a tuneup heading into the playoffs. Colin White will sit out the match for what coach Brent Sutter called "maintenance."
