~ San Xavier del Bac Mission ~
Ever since visiting southern California and visiting San Juan Capistrano & San Juan Bautista, I have been interested in missions. In doing research for our trip to Tucson, I found information about San Xavier del Bac Mission and had planned to visit it right after visiting Colossal Cave Mountain Park, but forgot to bring our map and of course, the "driver" didn't want to stop and ask for directions! I didn't want to waste the information I had collected about the Mission prior to our trip, so I am adding this tip to make use of it.
The San Xavier del Bac Mission is quite different from the other two that I have visited in that it is a much larger, and grandiose church even though it is considered "Mission architecture." It combines several architectural styles including "Mexican Renaissance". The present church was built from 1783 - 1797, replacing the original church which was slightly south. The Mission was built in the settlement of the "Tohono O'odham" people which are related to the Pima tribe and the original "Hohokam" tribes people. The Mission's name was chosen by Father Eusebio Francisco Kino to honor his patron saint, St. Xavier, and for its location called "Bac", which means "place where the water appears" in the O'odham language--the Santa Cruz River is nearby. The story of who the architect was and who the artisans were that built this architecturally stunning church is still somewhat of a mystery today!!
The Mission is distinguished by its large, bright white dome and almost symmetrical towers (one is incomplete) rising from the desert floor. Pictures reveal the interior, vaulted ceilings adorned with paintings which are original and ornate plaster work. The altar appears to be a splendid combination of paintings and gilt. The church is currently undergoing restoration, but is still open for services and visitors. In fact, it is a fully working parish church and part of the diocese of Tucson, serving mainly the Tohono O'odham, but open to all. It is served by the Franciscan order.
The Mission church is open EVERY day from 8:00 to 5:00. Admission and parking is free, but donations are greatly appreciated. There is a continuously available video tape for more information about the Mission. A gift shop is also located there.
San Xavier del Bac Mission church has a limited number of seats--if you plan to attend Mass, please check their website for correct times and try to arrange your tour outside of Mass times.

San Xavier Mission
The San Xavier del Bac Mission, often referred to as the "White Dove of the Desert," is located near the Santa Cruz River nine miles south of Tucson. In fact, "Bac" means "a place where water appears." A Jesuit Missionary named Father Kino visited the site in 1692, and would commence construction of the mission seven years later. In 1767 the Jesuits were driven off the land, and the Franciscans assumed power. The site became the headquarters for Francisco Garces, and after his death, Father Bautista Velderian and Juan Bautista Llorenz undertook the task of completing the unfinished church. The Mission, which was finally completed in 1797, is considered to be one of the greatest examples of mission architecture in the United States. It's exquisite interior is a collaboration of art by fine-trained European artists and the native people, and reflects Tucson's multicultural heritage.
Try to find the cat and the mouse on the entrance facade. It is said that when the cat catches the mouse, the end of the world will be at hand.

San Xavier del Bac Mission
San Xavier Del Back Mission is sometimes called "White Dove of the Desert." This church was completed in 1797, but remains an active Franciscan mission today for the Tohono O'odham Indians. This beautiful, mostly white structure is considered one of the finest examples of Spanish Colonial Architecture in the United State, and is one of the oldest and most well preserved mission in the southwest. The inside is painted elaborately and has many large statues of angels, saints, and Mary. A self-guided tour is available daily 9:30 – 5:30 except Sunday. Donations are appreciated.

The White Dove of the Desert
This church was built as a mission by Franciscan monks in the 1700's and is still in use today on the Tohono O'odham native reservation. I guess the monks decided to build a church which would impress everybody, and it still does. A non-profit group has undertaken to restore and rebuild the mission, and by 2004 the insides are complete, and work is taking place on the left tower (you can see the scaffolding in my picture). The saguaros in front of the church are quite beat up. Maybe it's time to replace them too.
Parking and entrance is free, although of course donations are accepted.

Around the Mission
An exploration of San Xavier's surroundings gives visitors a more complete picture of the Mission. In front, a number of wood stalls have been erected, and there is a hive of activity around Native American vendors selling everything from handmade wares and jewelry to fry bread topped in sugar or honey. To the left of the Mission is a tranquil and interesting cemetery, which can provide a quite respite from San Xavier's crowded hall. For wonderful views and a picture-perfect glimpse of San Xavier, hike up the hill topped by a white cross to the right of the Mission. In the late afternoon, the setting sun casts a beautiful orange glow over the Mission.

San Xavier del Bac Mission
Jesuit priest came to this valley to convert the Native America's, the Tohono O'odham tribe. Father Eusebius Kino visited in 1692 and laid the foundation of the first mission. Sadly the Jesuits were expelled by 1767. The Franciscans moved in by 1768 and the completion of the mission was accomplished 1797. The missions architecture is of Spanish Renaissance, Moorish, & Aztec design. The front facade is very ornate in a rich red arabesque. The columns are four figures in niches. The first above and to the left with crown & royal robe is the statue of Saint Elizabeth. The figure below with a black robe a Jesuit priest. To the right the upper figure with tambourine is St. Cecilia. The one in the niche below is blackened from candle wax because the traditions is the saint cures their sore eyes. The church front entrance is covered with beautiful scroll work having the coat of arms of the Franciscan monks, which is a cross, with a rope coil above and two arms below, one of which represents that of Christ, and is naked, the other one that of St. Francis de Assisi, and is partially clothed. Inside is in the shape of the cross. The whole inside is adorned with very ornate frescoes and each has a very significant meaning. It is all a lot to take in. They do ask for people to be very quiet to respect others who might be in prayer. A very lovely church. You have to take the time to explore it to fully appreciate it's history.

White Dove of the Desert
Mission San Xavier del Bac was established by the Jesuit Missionary Father Eusebio Kino in 1692. The present church was built by the Franciscans, between 1783 and 1797. Mission San Xavier del Bac is still a functioning parish church serving the residents of the San Xavier Tohono O'odham Reservation. There are a number of stands leading to the mission where you can stop and buy some Native American food. For more information, see my San Xavier Page.

The inside of San Xavier Mission
The inside of the church has recently been refinished. It is all carved and painted. There are two statues of Saint Frances, whom people pray to. You can see those statues by checking the mission's website.
I did not bring a flash or fast film, so I was limited to what I pictures I could take inside the church. A small shaft of light was streaming through a ceiling window, and right on one of the statues (not Saint Frances).
Besides the church proper, there is a museum and gift shop (open 8am-5pm)

San Xavier is still a working mission
We walked around to the rear of the complex. It is a lot quieter there, and you see that there is a working school, and a enclosed monestary for the monks. I would imagine they don't think much of all the tourists.
We also hiked up the nearby hill located right of the church. There is a path around the hill, and you will find a 'prayer fence', or at least a wrought iron fence where people have left candles, ribbons, photos etc.
After the mission, the back area and the hill, we toured the less religious part of the mission. By the parking lot are stands where you can buy fried bread - we had ours with honey. A little further away are shops with local items to purchase and a more complete lunch spot.

San Xavier Mission
Dates from about 1780. The San Xavier Mission is both a historical relic and a functioning church. The brilliant white of the mission is pleasing to the eye from the exterior. Inside there are ornate paintings with a definite southwest flair. Meanwhile the gaudy alterpiece would be at home in any rococo church or chapel in Europe.

San Xavier Mission Courtyard
In contrast to the ostentatious interior of the mission church, the courtyard is restful and quaint. Lots of flowers and many birds chirping happily in the shade trees.
There is also a small museum and gift shop on the premises that are worth a look.

Try the Fry Bread at the Mission
After touring the mission, why not try something different. There are a couple different places that cook up fresh frybread while you wait. The frybread is available as a stand alone item or with honey, cheese, beans, red chile or green chile. A native american delicacy.

Amazing late 1600's church in desert!
We were staying a weekend in Tucson, and on waking up, I saw on our hotel travel guide a picture of the San Xavier del Bac Church – it looked wonderful and it was a Sunday, so I checked and it we could make it to Sunday Mass!
So off we went to this church which was just about 8 miles from where we were, and we just went on Interstate 19 (going south from Downtown Tucson), and there it was – a magnificent white church looking out of place in the desert with a backdrop of the Tucson mountains. Awesome- is is also called the White Dove of the desert and aptly so (looked like a white dove indeed) ---- and it is the oldest intact European structure in Arizona.
It was founded as a Catholic mission by Father Eusebio Kino in 1692. Construction of the current church began in 1783 and was completed in 1797. Recently though, due to the economic recession of 2010, funding has been cut in preserving this church (from what I hear from our secretary). Our Latina secretary also said that there is a "rat" painting on the ceiling (which I did not remember) which according to folklore will signify the end of the world if it goes to the other side (?).
Once there, we saw tents where people were selling tacos and other stuff – we did buy some to support the local industry after mass. Parking was very easy even on that Sunday.
The church is a magnificent structure and we enjoyed taking jumping pics in fron of it, of course, haha…and then we went inside and we were awed by the murals – very old murals and statues. It has also been dubbed as the Sistine chapel of North America.
The mass was mostly in English, with some Hispanic songs. Picture taking is allowed before the mass only. There is also a little museum and also a small chapel to offer candle favors.
There is a hill which you could climb beside the church but when we visited, it was the peak of summer so we did not - maybe next time we will go up...
Truly a great find in Tucson :) – written August 2010

The Mission at Easter: wonderful!
The Mission is located on Indian territory. The church is visible from the motorway, and once off the motorway, tourists have to follow the markers to the church. There are "no trespassing" notices for the other roads.
We didn't know what to expect when going to the Mission on Easter day.
But, there was a cheery ambiance and the church was overcrowded. Just as lots of other people, we had to wait outside. We heard plainsong coming out of the church, and at the end of the mass, there was an Indian choir singing and making music. It was really an experience.
The inside of the church is small, but very beautiful. It has been restored with a lot of taste. The wooden seats are unusual and the altar is splendid.
There is a also a little Mary chapel next to the church, in a cacti garden. All of them were blossoming. What an enchanting place!
On the square, there were lots of Indian BBQ stalls, and there is also an Indian market where one can buy handcraft and Indian art.

Big Time Rush (also known as BTR) is an American boy band created in 2009 for Nickelodeon's television series Big Time Rush. The group consists of Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, Carlos Pena, Jr. and Logan Henderson. They were signed to a record deal with Nick Records simultaneously with the television series, and then the group was eventually signed to Columbia Records. The show ran from November 28, 2009 to July 25, 2013.
The series' pilot episode featured the group's first promotional single, "Big Time Rush". They have released 3 studio albums (BTR, Elevate and 24/Seven) which all achieved success.
2009–10: Career beginnings and BTR[edit]
Nickelodeon signed Big Time Rush to a record deal in 2009 simultaneously with the television series, Big Time Rush. Then, Nickelodeon partnered with Columbia/Epic Label Group to produce the show and include the original music to the show. For the series, their debut single, "Big Time Rush", was released on November 29, 2009.[1] Officially announced by Nickelodeon, the series was first broadcast in the U.S. in November 2009, until it was eventually released worldwide. It debuted during a one-hour special preview of the series and it is currently the show's opening theme. The series also saw the releases of other singles including "City is Ours" and "Any Kind of Guy". Big Time Rush also covered a Play song titled "Famous". The song was released on iTunes on June 29, 2010. Another song, "Halfway There", was released to iTunes on April 27, 2010, after its premiere on the series.[2][3] The single has become their first to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 93 due to digital sales.[4]
On September 21, 2010, Big Time Rush released a promotional single, "Till I Forget About You", to promote the release of their debut album.[5] The album, titled BTR, was released on October 11, 2010. Soon after the release, the band went to Baltimore on October 12, 2010, to do an autograph signing at Arundel Mills Mall. The album debuted at number 3 on the Billboard 200, selling 67,000 copies in its first week of release. The album also peaked at number 4 on the Internet Albums chart and number one on the Soundtracks chart. Its track "Big Night" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 79, making it their highest peaking song. The album was later certified Gold for shipments of 500,000 copies in the U.S.[6] In November 2010, it was announced that a Christmas special of Big Time Rush would debut later that month, and that a Christmas EP would be released to coincide with the episode. The EP, titled Holiday Bundle was released on November 30, 2010. They covered "All I Want for Christmas is You", originally performed by Mariah Carey, with fellow Nickelodeon star Miranda Cosgrove, but was not released as so. Instead it was released as just them and it came with a new Christmas beat, "Beautiful Christmas".
On February 15, 2011, "Boyfriend" was released as the band's first official single to mainstream US radio.[7] "Boyfriend" peaked at number seventy-two on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming their most successful song to date. It peaked at number 30 on the Billboard Pop Songs chart in March 2011. A remix of "Boyfriend" which featured New Boyz was leaked onto the internet. Big Time Rush was nominated for MTV's Breakthrough Band award honor in 2011 as well.[8] Big Time Rush has made several appearances at KCA (Kid's Choice Awards.) Also, Big Time Rush was nominated for the 2013 Premios Oye! award in Mexico (similar to the Grammy award in the United States), with their single "Boyfriend" nominated for the Best International English Song of the Year. However, they lost to Rihanna's single "Diamonds".
2011–12: Elevate and film[edit]
The group announced they would be recording their second studio album, just after Nickeloden renewed the series for a third season.[9] On July 22, 2011, the band released a promotional single, "If I Ruled the World" featuring Iyaz, in anticipation of their second album, Elevate. Elevate was released on November 21, 2011 and debuted at number 12 on the Billboard 200, selling over 70,000 copies in its first week. Though for a lower peaking than their previous, the album sold more copies than the previous album.[10] The first single, "Music Sounds Better with U", written by the band and Ryan Tedder from OneRepublic, was released on November 1, 2011. The song peaked at number twenty-six on the US Pop Songs.
To promote the release of their second album, the group had their first headlining tour, the Better With U Tour, which took place over sixteen dates in February and March 2012. JoJo opened for Big Time Rush for the first five dates, while One Direction opened for ten of the sixteen dates.[11] In late February, Big Time Rush announced a national summer tour starting July 5 at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, OH. [12][13] Cody Simpson, Rachel Crow and Leon Thomas III were the opening acts in the American venues, whereas Victoria Duffield and Tyler Medeiros was the opening in the Canadian cities.
The band announced they would be starring in their full-length 2012 film, Big Time Movie. The movie features them traveling to London, England. In Big Time Movie, the four members of the band Big Time Rush head to London for their first big world tour but instead get mixed up in a mission to save the world. The film was released on March 10, 2012, in the US to Theaters, while a Germany release was on September 22, 2012.[14] Due to the promotion, the group recorded cover of The Beatles songs and released an EP, Big Time Movie Soundtrack EP.[15] However, the film received mixed to positive reviews from most contemporary film critics, many comparing them to The Monkees but praising their fun, carefree image.[16][17] However, the film was a success, having over thirteen million views in a week.[18]
2013–present: 24/Seven and hiatus[edit]
In 2013 Nickelodeon renewed the Big Time Rush series for a 13-episode fourth season, production started on January 7. The band also released a song titled "Like Nobody's Around" which according to the premiere episode "Big Time Invasion" was outlining the history of professional, successful, and All-American Boy Bands; the Platters, the Temptations, The Jackson 5, New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys, and NSYNC, in response to the British invasion of rival act, and hugely successful One Direction. "Like Nobody's Around is the second track on both the standard and deluxe version of Big Time Rush's third album. On April 15, in an interview on Cambio, Big Time Rush announced that their third studio album, 24/Seven would be released sometime in early June 2013 and that the fourth season of Big Time Rush will air on May 2, 2013. On April 18, Big Time Rush revealed that 24/Seven would be released on either June 4 or 11, 2013. On April 20, nine tracks from the album (plus "Song for You" without the Karmin vocals and "Get Up" with only Kendall's vocals) was leaked. On June 4, EW released the full 10-song Standard version of 24/Seven online.[19] The Deluxe version of 24/Seven has also been leaked on YouTube and a different version of "Love Me Again" was leaked with it. EW released a different version of "Get Up" and "Song For You" than what was leaked previously.
24/Seven was released on June 11, 2013, the album cover and track list was revelead on April 29, 2013. 24/Seven saw far less success than its preceding record Elevate which led many critics to draw comparisons between the band's third album and NSYNC's third album Celebrity (which also was not as widely received as the preceding No Strings Attached record); nevertheless, singles such as the up-tempo party anthem title track 24/Seven and the slower, powerful rock ballad "We Are" still allowed the new record high success in the United States as well as countries such as Mexico and Brazil. 24/Seven has reached Gold status in over several countries since its release and eventually sold millions of copies around the rest of the world nonetheless. The members of Big Time Rush are currently[when?] on a short hiatus pursuing other ventures personally. Big Time Rush were nominated for World's Best Group, Best Album and Best Live Act for the ceremony in Monte Carlo, Monaco at the Salle des Etoiles Venue for the 22nd annual World Music Awards on May 27, 2014. It was later confirmed that same night after the awards show that Big Time Rush had won the World's Best Live Act trophy, which makes Big Time Rush the very first and only Nickelodeon act or artist in history to win a World Music Award trophy to date.[20]
In 2014, the band embarked on their new concert tour called Big Time Rush Live 2014 World Tour, to support their latest album, 24/Seven. It's their fourth official tour and their first world tour. The tour began on February 7, 2014 in Grand Prairie, Texas and finished on February 23, 2014, in Guatemala. Despite its name, the tour is not quite a world tour as there were only eleven shows in total and only in the United States and parts of Latin America. All of Big Time Rush's members have confirmed that they are planning a tour to follow up the Big Time Rush Live 2014 World Tour. Schmidt claims that there have been talks about new music. In various tweets in recent months, the members of Big Time Rush have also acknowledged their distressed and grieving fan base and have made it aware that the boy band has not broken up and the hiatus will only last while their short solo projects are being tested in order to gain a wider audience for the original group's members.
Musical style and themes[edit]
Because the group is associated with the TV series and children network Nickelodeon, they have been presented as a "child-friendly" group, but have musical differences. In a review of their first studio album, BTR, Jessica Dawson from Common Sense Media wrote: "Big Time Rush is a standout, not only because of their boyish charm and good looks, but because their music is a cool blend of synth-pop, hip-hop, and boy-band harmonies."[21]
Public image[edit]
Carlos Pena, Jr. was interviewed September 2012, and talked about if Big Time Rush could exist outside of their series, where he replied;
"I think the music could stand alone, but I don't know if it would be as powerful. The show has definitely been our main audience. We have four million kids watching. So when you put a song out, four million kids hear it. When you put a song on the radio, you're not going to have four million people listening. It's a blessing and a curse being on Nickelodeon – it's gotten us where we are now, though some people are standoffish to us because of that. But we have to be grateful that Nickelodeon gave us this opportunity. Abandoning the show would not be the best idea."[22]
The group has been compared[by whom?] to recent boy bands such as One Direction and The Wanted. However, recent boy bands including One Direction and The Wanted have also not received rave outcomes.[23] Michael O'Connell from The Hollywood Reporter said "One Direction is but one group in this resilient and timeless fad. They follow the recent success of fellow Brits [The Wanted] and Nickelodeon's cross-market creation [Big Time Rush]. One [One Direction] is fluke. Two [The Wanted] is a coincidence. And three [Big Time Rush] is a trend that you want to father your unborn children.'[24] Melinda Newman from Washington Post stated "In the grand tradition of boy bands, these acts share certain traits with their similarly manufactured pop ancestors: Members of the Wanted and Big Time Rush auditioned for their parts at a casting call. The members of One Direction were put together by Simon Cowell after trying out individually for the British edition of "The X Factor.""[23] However, she positively compared them to The Monkees by saying "Big Time Rush is similar to the Monkees with its own TV series as a launchpad, and the group appeals to kids, tweens, teens and also adults. They are also credited as the pop group that have once again restored creditably, relevance, and for relaunching boy bands back into the public eye once again."[23]
In Parade Magazine's 2012 poll, Big Time Rush was voted the "Best Boy Band in the World," topping both One Direction and The Wanted. Over 800,000 votes were cast. The band was featured on the cover of the August 5, 2012 issue of Parade which was a national top seller. An interview and photo set highlighting the group's win that coincided with the honor was featured in the same issue.[25][26][27] The magazine's web site also featured the group amongst its list of "Greatest Boy Bands of All-Time," along with the bands NSYNC, and Backstreet Boys. The Washington Times Magazine ranked Big Time Rush Number 15 of their Top 20 Best Boy Bands of the decade in 2012. and number 28 on the pop goes the charts website of the Top 40 Best Boy Bands of the past 25 years in 2013.[28] Big Time Rush got inducted into the Hottie Of The Week Hall Of Fame on ENews in December 2014.

His father died before he was born and his mother is said to have been suicidal when she was carrying him, trying to abort the pregnancy.
His stepfather allegedly beat him, and in high school, he was a tough guy, immersed in revolutionary politics. At 22, he was tapped by the leaders of the Socialist Ba'ath party to assassinate the then-prime minister. The coup failed and Saddam Hussein fled to Cairo.
When he returned, some years later, he did so to rule. By 1979, he was Iraq's president, prime minister and commander in chief. He quickly purged any would-be competitors, arresting scores of cabinet ministers, bureaucrats and high ranking members of the Ba'ath party. Twenty-one Iraqis were executed on a single day in August of 1979.
A year later, Saddam Hussein went to war against neighboring Iran. He used chemical weapons against his own people, the Kurds in the north, as well as on the Iranians. Hundreds of thousands of people died in a devastating eight-year war that cost each country deeply.
By the end of the war, Saddam Hussein had built the fourth largest army in the world.
Oil revenues funded his military research and it is believed that by the time his forces invaded Kuwait in 1990, Iraqi scientists were getting closer to the completion of a nuclear device.
U.S. President George H.W. Bush told Americans, "Iraq cannot be allowed to benefit from its invasion of Kuwait."
On a January night in 1991, coalition planes and American cruise missiles were launched at Iraq to force the Iraqi army from Kuwait. The next day, Saddam Hussein appeared on Iraqi TV and said that the greatest of all battles had started. By God's grace, Saddam said, Iraq would emerge from the conflict victorious.
But the Gulf War ground conflict lasted barely 100 hours before Saddam Hussein was forced to withdraw his army from Kuwait.
The leader was momentarily weakened. Encouraged by U.S.-sponsored radio broadcasts, some Iraqis believed the United States would come to their assistance and rose up against Hussein. The leader would strike down the rebellion viciously.
Economic sanctions led by the United States and imposed by the United Nations continued. They caused enormous hardship to the Iraqi people, but Saddam seemed politically impervious.
In 1998, Saddam called off all cooperation with the U.N. weapons inspectors, eliminating all further monitoring of nuclear and biological sites. After their departure, the United States and Great Britain launched Operation Desert Fox to destroy potential weapons of mass destruction facilities from the air.
In 2002, faced with a new determination by the United Nations, Saddam finally allowed weapons inspectors back into the country.
The United States, growing impatient, insisted on removing Saddam's regime once and for all.
In 2003, the United States, Britain and other allied forces launched a full-scale war against the man who had once been an American ally. The Iraq war was under way and within three weeks, Saddam's reign was over. A statue of Saddam in Baghdad's Firdos Square fell to cheers from onlooking Iraqis.
Saddam, however, would elude capture for nearly nine months before the U.S. military found the former ruler underground, hiding in a spider hole near his hometown of Tikrit.

With just seven days remaining until the opening games of the 2009 World Championship in Switzerland, the top four European teams are sizing each other up at the Ceska Pojistovna Cup, the fourth leg of the Euro Hockey Tour between Finland, Russia, Sweden and the Czech Republic.
In the first game of the tournament, Jaromir Jagr made a comeback to the Czech nationals and led his team to a 2-1 win over Sweden.

via David Shoalts of the Globe and Mail,
The Maple Leafs president and general manager is in pursuit of a Swedish goaltender nicknamed The Monster and planned to meet with him and his agent on Sunday in Copenhagen.
The Monster is 24-year-old Jonas Gustavsson, who was the talk of the Swedish Elite League playoffs. The 6-foot-4 Gustavsson registered five shutouts in 13 playoff games to lead Farjestad to the championship with a .961 save percentage.
Aftonbladet, a Stockholm newspaper, reported that Gustavsson, who is a free agent, has narrowed his NHL choices to the Leafs and the Dallas Stars.
Who is this Monster, watch below…

Fresh off their success with the Final Four of the NCAA men's basketball championships, Ford Field is already preparing for next year, when it will play host to the Frozen Four, the NCAA men's hockey championship. Monday, Dan Craig, the National Hockey League's ice expert and the man who put the ice surface in Chicago's Wrigley Field for this year's Winter Classic game between the Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings, will be at Ford Field to explain how it will be configured for hockey. The ice surface will be placed directly in the centre of the football playing field and there will be seating for 70,000 spectators.

Manny Legace Ready For Another Chance
by Paul on 04/09/09 at 03:38 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Adam Proteau of The Hockey News,
The guy never has had the red carpet of life rolled out for him. For virtually his entire hockey career, he's been dissed, dismissed, doubted and degraded. Even the person who engraved his name on the Stanley Cup engraved his surname as 'Lagace'.
But like the famous movie producer Robert Evans, the kid has found a way to stay in the picture.
"You get used to it," Legace told THN.com. "It's been that way my whole life. 'He's too fat, he's too small, he's too this or that.' So you get used to having to prove yourself every day. And that's fine with me; that's made me a better person and a better goalie."

Frozen Four Starts Today
by Paul on 04/09/09 at 11:10 AM ET
Comments (0)
from David Albright of ESPN,
The 2009 Frozen Four finds itself in our nation's capital this weekend as college hockey's final weekend plays its last three games at the Verizon Center. And with that, you can add a new venue to the list of ones that have hosted this event.
If you're keeping score, the Verizon Center will be the 30th different arena that has called college hockey's final four home. Now the question is whether a new team will be added to the list of national champions.
Of the four teams left standing, only Boston University has previously won a title. If Bemidji State, Miami (OH) or Vermont skates around the ice with the championship plaque Saturday night, it will mark the 18th different school to claim the national title.
Here are five key questions (plus a bonus one) heading into Thursday's national semifinals (ESPN2HD and ESPN360, 5 and 8:30 p.m. ET).

Babcock Should Be Coach Canada
by Paul on 04/08/09 at 12:07 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Damian Cox of the Toronto Star,
It would be hard to imagine at this point how Mike Babcock could not be named the head coach of the Canadian men's hockey team for next year's Olympics.
Perhaps a verbal Avery-ism in front of TV cameras? Revelations that he was actually born in Galveston, Texas rather than Manitouwadge, Ont., and isn't a Canadian citizen? Perhaps allegations from his McGill University days that he wore an autographed Alexander Ragulin T-shirt under his gear after secretly rooting for Rags and the Russians in '72?
Otherwise, while Steve Yzerman has maintained this is a decision that will have to wait until after the current NHL campaign is completed, the 45-year-old Babcock seems destined to be the man to lead the troops into Vancouver next winter.

907 - Hobgoblins
Chat Comments (86) Best Riffs (277)
This one gets my vote for funniest episode. It's the 80s, do a lot of coke and vote for Ronald Reagan.
Paint my muscle car prune color, please.
The old guy in this movie reminds me of a sub I used to get sometimes back in high-school named Coach LaRue. It's funny because we used to make fun of how old he was. Because he was ancient, he was a stowaway on Noah's arch, and his blood-type was discontinued. I tried to get him a birthday present once but I couldn't afford one after buying the candles. You know what he did in the war? He sacrificed cattle to Marduk.
They are making love in a chevy van, and thats NOT allright with me! crying as the doors close......
This movie, more than almost any other (except Manos) makes me ask the question: What the hell is wrong with everyone in this movie?
Seriously, why did they make a movie where every single character is an inconsiderate turd?
While I hesitate to ascribe ANYTHING positive to this movie, I have to admit that I find it moderately interesting that Nick's deepest desire is not focused on sex. It's about being the big war hero.
It's not amazing, but it is moderately interesting.
So...where did they find footy PJs that would fit Mike? ...or am I simply making an assumption that Mike's PJs are footy PJs?
Lol, man, I'm glad my mom never made me watch Hobgoblins (or blew me up) for jumping on the couch. I must remember to give her a hug for that next time I see her. :P
This movie reminds me of watching my brother brush out his ridiculous mullet back in'86. It's almost equally as horrifying.
club scum, also known as the high school cafeteria where the kids were playing with their dads video camera and accidentally made Hobgoblins.
People acting strangely ? L.A. ? Right
The opening segment always makes me sigh and say, "Boys, you've been in space too long."
I hadn't seen this episode in awhile, so when I got to the end credits this time, two of the band members' names stuck out. Bassist Mark Hodson and drummer Tony Cicero (spelled "Cisero" in the end credits) were previously in a pretty good group called Saccharine Trust in the mid-80s. I've become pretty familiar with them from exploring the SST record label, probably most well known for Black Flag (their most well known member: Henry Rollins). They both appear on Sacch Trust's "Surviving You, Always" album from 1984, and Cicero continued onward to their next release "We Became Snakes" in 1986. Pretty good, jazzy, post-rock, post-punk, post-whatever-the-fuck-it's-called stuff.

Meet the Hobgoblins!!
Franky, Sniffles, Bounce-Bounce, and The Claw!!
(I had a Bounce-Bounce stuffed toy growing up....oh the memories!!)
I honestly want to see this movie remade with Daphne as the hero. Because all she wants to do is party and screw, she's apparently living her dream, making her almost immune to the hobgoblins's power. It could actually be a really good horror/comedy. Instead of being Hobgoblins. >.>
Jean Paul Sartre and the Heartbreakers.
The opening credits had me in tears.
Watched this last night and it was painful. So. Bad. Even with the excellent riffing, we could barely make it to the end. This film makes "Manos" look like a cinematic masterpiece. I needed to be consoled and comforted after watching this.
Someone has a playlist for H*bg*blin:
Damn you Rick Sloane! DAMN YOUUUUU!
This is one of the few UNBEARABLE episodes of the MST3K franchise! I've gotta give kudos to Mike & the bots for making it somewhat bearable
Piggybacking off the success of Gremlins, not unlike Critters, Ghoulies and my personal favorite, Munchies, we have the steaming pile of awful. Awesome.
What! Where is my full episode!? Am I seriously going to have to get my dvd's out! What fresh prehistoric hell is this!
Tape, paste, staples...wishing for pieces to stick together.
wheres a FULL version?? its just chunks of the episode now...!
I cant believe that there would ever be a movie so bad that even the MST3K treatment couldn't make it bearable, but this IS that movie. Even with the boys riffing I cant bear watching this one. Give me Manos, give me Monster a go-go, give me a Roger Corman, Ed Wood marathon, but this...this...this
always be wary of movies that are written, directed, and produced by the same person
I hate this movie. To quantify, this movie is equal to 10 Castles of Fu Manchu or 13 Manos. In fact ISO should adopt the unit "Hobgoblins" as the universal standard unit of incompetence. Every ineptitude will forevermore be on a "Hobgoblins" scale. Similar to a "Munson" (from Kingpin).
Man, this movie gave me nightmares. I dreamed that I had to watch it again. And then.... again.
This movie should be popular even WITHOUT the riffing.
So...the old man has had the vault rigged to blow up for 30 years. WHY didn't he just kill them off before? There's really no explanation for that, and I really don't get it. He sees them killing everyone who comes in contact with them, and yet, he lets them live in the vault? What kind of idiot is he?
As a teen when this movie was made it sickens me when I see young people wearing similar fashions. This was not a time that in any way deserved to come back.
This movie was written by a 13 year old boy, right?
The guy who plays Roadrash in this is the same dude who was Maynard (the pervert pawn shop owner) in Pulp Fiction. Still pretty scummy...
Fish Picker!
Wow, a truly inspiring disasterpiece.
Finally got a chance to watch Manos and Danger!! Death Ray. This movie, honestly, is Oscar worthy compared to those movies. At least it's actually "finished" and shows minimal guy's butts. 80s schlock horror movie heaven, and this has a ton of hilarious riffs.
Go to 1:08:41 for Dummy-Mike's Super Happy Fun Nose Picking Time!
Great riffs, painful movie. The where are the women segment was the best part of the entire experience :)
Been catching up FINALLY with the greatest show ever made. This episode is brilliant! Seriously!
Mike's attempts to wrangle the bots during the opening credits reminds me of when I have to pack up my cats to go to the vet.
For some reason I have really put off watching this one. I know it's supposed to be one of the best, and I've seen little clips of it before, but I really haven't wanted to watch it. Maybe it's because I know it's suppose to be such a rip-off of Gremlins, maybe it's because I dread the acting I'm going to see in an obvious horror film...I don't know. But tonight, I'm finally going for it.
Servo fleeing in unbridled terror after seeing Alan Dermarderosian's name gets me every time!
The hoe fight is by far one of the funniest commentaries ive ever seen xD
How has this not reached 100 laughs yet? As Gob Bluth would say, "C'mon!"
Boy, this sure is a bad movie, won't you?
Until I saw this episode I thought the clip they used in the theme song was Mike on a surfboard... until I got a good look at it and saw it had his face on it. I don't think you can blame me for not understanding what was going on.
I would pay real money to be able to buy a hobgoblin puppet/plush. Both because of this episode, and because I just think they're so damn cute.
The club emcee went on to be the voice of Cosmo on the Fairly Godparents...from Joel Grey to Cosmo. What a journey!
Yay! The first episode of MST3k I ever watched.. I'll never forget how absolute amazed I was with this show!
It´s on again!!! It´s on again!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yup, Hobgoblins nerd here! The 8th collection that this is on is just way too expensive and out of print. $80+ on eBay......
Somebody, please, put the "!" on episode list for this, please.
OK, am I wrong, or this gone again?!?!?!?!?! This is one of my favorites!
Looking at imdb it appears that something called Retromedia is marketing the original version of this movie. Apparently they know how bad it is because the cover art features a picture of a large breasted bikini bimbo who isn't even in the movie.
Isn't the Club Scum bouncer the pawn shop guy from Pulp Fiction?
Pig Liquor!
Fish Picker!
Dish Rigger!
Pickled Ginger!
Swig Bingers!
Grieg Singers!
Spring Wigglers!
Bobo should have called Loveline. Wouldn't even have been their weirdest call.
At 42:46, he totally closes the door like a muppet.
1:08:40 And this is where we get our site decoration.
I knew it was going to be a bad fight scene when he said "Okay, hold onto it like this" and already he was wrong.
12:45 Billy Jack actually already has a COUPLE of cheap sequels. But they're on par with the original at least.
Okay people asked me about the hobgoblins remake like a month ago and I just today found out how to see replies lol so sorry. Rick Sloan actually submitted the original movie to MST3K himself. And the "sequel" makes refrences and in jokes to mst3k episode, plus that song the mst3k guys did "hobgoblins hobgoblins whatcha gonna do with those hobgoblins" they used a version of that song for the remake. I know you might not believe me but here is the Wikipedia page. Also you can get the movie off of the rifftrax website should you wish to see the thing. At least you used to be able to.
This is one of those rare episodes where the film's dialogue is just as funny if not funnier than the riffing. Donkey mud wrestling. Need I say more??
Sad, really. All this murder and mayhem could have been prevented by a vault door that actually locks and/or a padlock on the outer door.
What'cha gonna do with those
Can anyone tell me what the exclamation marks before the episode title on here mean??? just wondering. Random episodes have that. . .
There's something perversely admirable about a film that dares to not feature a single likeable character.
Lookit what we're handed here: Old Blithering Idiot lets his partner: Bland Teen Stereotype get horribly murdered by alien monsters. He then hires Annoying Whiny Douche to replace him. On his second day on the job, Annoying Whiny Douche manages to release said monsters who, despite having an entire city of victims to choose from, concentrate all of their effort on Annoying Whiny Douche's friends. There's his girlfriend: Frigid Emasculating Shrew, and his "pals": Scrawny Repugnant Whore and her boyfriend: Greasy Macho Scumbag....last and assuredly least is the 5th wheel: Effeminate Pervert Loser.
What a cast!
There is NO ONE and NOTHING to root for in this film save for the sweet release of death.
I could be alone in this, but I found the Club Scum band on Youtube...They're called The Fontanelles, and they're quite honestly not too shabby-- if you like late 80s Dark Wave/Post-Punk.
Yaay! Hobgoblins is back!
Seriously, a copyright claim by Rick Sloane? He wants to lay claim to this?
Get ready for spit take, " SPIT TAKE AWAY!"
The club MC is the same guy who does Cosmo's voice on Fairly Oddparents. I feel bad for him...
So... Dennis's fantasy was to perform a rock song on a really tall stage?
I can't help but feel the old man was kind of OK with the Hobgoblins killing Kevin's predecessor.
OK, so the protagonists of this film are the kind of douchebags who stand around right in front of a doorway. Great job pushing my hatred buttons, movie.
Snazzy shades, Tom.
Oh God, that pathetic little jump at the end of the Club Scum song scene.
The 80s was the only time you could get away with street fighting with nun-chucks as your weapon of choice. And they always bring a pair for their opponent. That takes the kind of foresight you wouldn't expect from a person who goes around picking fights with nun-chucks.
The interior of "Club Scum" looks an awful lot like my elementary school cafeteria....
Those grenade chucking scenes are absolutely ridiculous. What the hell kind of grenades do that??
god i love this. just found it.
I think the 80s just threw up all over me.
I love the "Where are all the women?" segment!
Unfortunately, all the host segments were edited from this one. Still a classic worth watching, though!

Rare Ruhlmann piano to be auctioned in NYC
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - An art deco grand piano that sailed aboard the French ocean liner Normandie in the 1930s and spent decades inside a Buffalo mansion is up for auction.
Sotheby's in New York City expects the Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann-designed piece will sell for between $400,000 and $600,000 during an auction of 20th Century design works next month.
The piano was purchased by the Butler family of Buffalo in the early 1940s and for years was displayed in the Butlers' opulent mansion in the city.
Sotheby's says the piano is one of only six Ruhlmann pianos whose whereabouts are known and one of three that are similarly shaped.
"In a sense it's the opposite of what a classic, say Steinway, shape would be. It was Ruhlmann's great modernist style and innovation in the (19)20s that would come up with something like that," said James Zemaitis, the auction house's senior vice president of 20th century design. "Where the piano should go in it goes out on the side. Convex versus concave."
Made from macassar ebony and American walnut and accented with gilt bronze and ivory, Ruhlmann first displayed the style at the landmark 1925 Paris art deco exposition.
"In the main room, Ruhlmann exhibited another example of this piano," Zemaitis said. "That piano immediately became iconic because of its presence in the central room."
Aboard the Normandie, the piano now up for sale occupied the ladies' drawing room and music room, which was decorated with Ruhlmann's furniture in tribute to the French designer, who died in 1933. The Normandie sailed its maiden voyage in May 1935.
After the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the U.S. Navy seized the Normandie while it was docked at Manhattan's West Side piers. The Navy planned to convert it into the troopship, the USS Lafayette, and the piano was sold along with the rest of the ship's contents in a series of auctions.
Before the conversion could be completed, a fire broke out aboard the ship on Feb. 9, 1942. Early the next morning, the ship capsized onto its port side at Pier 88. The vessel was eventually righted, but the conversion operation was deemed too costly, and the ship was sold for scrap after the war.
The Butler family, which founded and, until the 1970s, owned The Buffalo News, purchased the instrument at a New York auction in the early 1940s after having seen and played the piano while sailing aboard the Normandie, according to Sotheby's.
The piano has been passed down to the granddaughter of the original owners, who has declined to be identified.
The auction is scheduled for March 6.

Ashton Kutcher Wants F-Word in New Film's Title
The comedy features Kutcher, Kevin Kline and Natalie Portman. IMDb describes its plot as, "A guy and girl try to keep their relationship strictly physical, but it's not long before they learn that they want something more." The production also stands as 'Untitled Ivan Reitman Project' at the moment, though it was once announced as 'Friends With Benefits.'
"I think if I saw a poster and it said 'The F--k Buddies,' I'd be like, 'I'm in, I'm going to see it.' I think it's going to be a really, really funny movie. I can't think about it without laughing. That should be the title. I'm shooting for that."
The script gained attention with its No. 6 spot on the 2008 Black List, a coveted catalog of unproduced screenplays Hollywood execs vote on. FirstShowing.net reported an insider calling the film "an inverse 'When Harry Met Sally,' " saying, "it's pretty much what you'd expect from a spec script that was originally entitled 'F--- Buddies.' "

I personally believe that people should strop trashing Demi Moore, there is no reason for it. For those of you who are calling her his mother, well yes she is older. However, she is still beautiful and has a hot husband so who cares. Also I understand everyone is upset with the F word being used in a movie title, but Ashton Kutcher is intelligent. He does have good looks and a goof ball persona, but he also knows how to play the game. I think that he can be mature but prefers to have a light hearted attitude because it makes everyone around him happier. Unlike some of you who are grumpy and probably unpleasant to be around.
- Tuesday 27 JulyBy Terri
Ok Bruce Willis. You going to let your daughters see a movie with that title. Demi, what is wrong with you? I don't think it's appropriate at all. In fact I think movies can be made without 1 cuss word and be a excellent movie. I'm for censorship on this stuff.

Hey Ashton,
Wearing a ski cap in the summer.....totally moronic! Doing something like that, is not getting dressed, it's wearing a costume.
Does this guy actually do anything that displays any real talent?

Oh, PLUEEZE can we have a boycott on this WORD? What is the DEAL I cannot say the "N" word but I can say the "F" word? WHY? It is so low rent. WHY WHY WHY? It is not a funny word, or a pleasant word...just gross. Let's make it like the "N" word and get away from it all.

How immature Mr. Kutcher. I now wouldn't watch this movie if it was a blockbuster hit with everyone else. I do not condone foul language and do not want my children to see it on a movie marquee. Get over yourself.
- Tuesday 27 JulyBy Carmen
Nobody is insulting Demi Moore they are questioning the intelligence of an almost 50 yr old woman who's married to an immature moron who is acting like a 5 yr old and an idiot, not like an adult playfully having fun. There is a difference.

Lewd, crude and juvenile. Grow the heck up! For gosh sake this moron has and engineering degree. Why does he still act so immature.

Maybe Demi squeezed his head a little bit to hard. The idiot hasn't a brain in his head.

Well, I don't need to say much as it appears the majority has said it....A.K. sucks. His movies suck & he's what would be referred to as a 'nerd turd' at any social level.
Stop reading anything about him & hopefully he will fade into the sunset because, unfortunately, youth today has absolutely no conception of talent & will go along with other people's opinions. He'll probably drag Demi down with him.
