GDT: Oilers 5, Canucks 4 – Final Pre-season Game – 2009-09-27
First off, I know my picture is not quite as awesome as Steve-O's art, but if you do one up today, you can replace this picture with yours 😉
Ohhh yah! It's the final game of the pre-season folks, which means the regular season is just around the corner. Saturday vs. the Flames, to be exact. So tonight's game is likely our last opportunity to see one or two players for a bit. A few "bubble" players will likely make up line 4. Friday and Saturday's top 9 lines didn't change. However the 4th line went from Nilsson Brule Stone to Eberle Reddox Pisani. What we'll see tonight is a mystery to me, but I'll update the lines as soon as I find them.
Edit: Line up has been updated. Not sure about the defence yet, and one component on the 4th line, but I've filled in my guesses there:
JFJ Horcoff Hemsky
Penner O'Sullivan Comrie
Reddox Gagner Cogliano
MacIntyre Brule Stortini
Here is my guesstimation of who will play D, as well:
Souray Gilbert
Smid Visnovsky
Strudwick Staios
3 Kevin Bieksa D
5 Christian Ehrhoff D
6 Sami Salo D
8 Willie Mitchell D
14 Alex Burrows RW
18 Steve Bernier RW
21 Mason Raymond LW
22 Daniel Sedin LW
24 Darcy Hordichuk LW
29 Aaron Rome D
30 Andrew Raycroft G
33 Henrik Sedin C
35 Cory Schneider G
37 Rick Rypien C
39 Cody Hodgson C
42 Kyle Wellwood C
55 Shane O'Brien D
56 Matt Pope RW
65 Sergei Shirokov
73 Tanner Glass RW
Edited: Moreau is out tonight, due to a minor injury (pulled muscle of some sort). Pouliot is also out… sounds like he might be hurt as well. Pisani is out due to injury. As mentioned, he skated Saturday after taking Friday off due to back problems. Note, MacIntyre is now playing on line 3 with Gagner and Cogliano. Wait, what? MacIntyre? Yep. I don't get that one. I must admit, if this was last year, and MacTavish pulled the same stunt, I'd be laying into him. So I guess MacTavish isn't the only one that comes up with crazy lineups. But I'll give it a chance and reserve judgement for now, but that just strikes me as a bad idea unless Big Mac is only going to get a few minutes there while someone else from the 4th line draws in. I thought Stortini with the two was a bit odd, but that's at least more reasonable.
Tonight's game starts at 6:00PM and will be streamed again on Oilers.NHL.com. And as usual, we'll try and link the feed here, and chat in this thread about the game live. It should be a pretty interesting week leading up to October 3rd as Quinn makes his final roster. There seems to be no question about which defense will make the line up as well as the goalies. All that remains to be seen is the forwards, and tonight will likely be a last chance for a couple of guys to make a good impression with Quinn.
Update: MacIntyre ended up playing from line 4, not line 3. Reddox filled in on the 3rd line wing.
1st Period Recap:
7:47 – EDM – Comrie from Hemsky
Nice goal featuring some vintage Hemsky moves.. wheeling around, he swings back to the blue line, dances around a Canuck and fires it on net.. Comrie taps in the rebound. Penner also instrumental on that play with his big body clogging up the goal area.
9:47 – VAN – Welwood from Mitchell
Welwood scores on a break away after I believe O'Sullivan coughed it up to Mitchell.
15:15 – EDM – Comrie from Visnovsky, O'Sully
O'Sullivan skates into the zone, stops, dishes it back to a streaking Visnovsky who dekes out a couple of defenders and fires a beautiful pass to Comrie who is right on the doorstep for the easy tap in on a wide open cage.
17:34 – EDM – PP – Horcoff from Jacques, Hemsky
Hemsky passes to JFJ down to the right of the Canucks goaltender, and JFJ flips a backhand pass over to Horcoff who is waiting to the goaltenders left for the one-timer back door play.
Other highlights:
– Strudwick beats up Rome despite having the jersey pulled up over his face.
– JFJ hits Salo pretty hard behind the Canucks net
– More vintage Hemsky as he comes flying into the Canucks zone and attempts to beat Schneider, but to no avail. He falls pretty awkwardly into the corner afterwards, but was ok.
1st Period shots: Vancouver 9, Edmonton 12
2nd Period Recap:
2:39 – VAN – PP – Salo from Bieksa and Shirokov (or Shiropov, if you're Rod Phillips)
Canucks score less than 30 seconds into Sam Gagner's penalty. Sammy Salo receives the pass from Bieksa and takes a slap shot from the faceoff circle to Khabi's right, beating both Visnovsky and Khabibulin.
8:03 – VAN – PP – H. Sedin from D. Sedin, Shirokov
Daniel over to Henrik who's waiting back door for the tap in. Earlier in the play, Cogliano gets hit hard by Salo. Looked like a shot to the knee as Cogliano tried to evade the check.
12:52 – EDM – PP – JFJ from Horcoff, Souray
Hemsky is rushed by two Vancouver players but still manages to make a beauty pass to Souray. Souray directs it to the net where it pinballs to Horcoff.. he fires a perfect cross-crease pass over to JFJ who dives forward to tap poke it past Schneider. Gorgeous looking goal.
Other highlights:
– Khabibulin robs Burrows with a big blocker save (get that man a drink of water!!).
– On the 2nd PP goal for Vancouver, Cogliano was hit hard by Salo and it looked like there was knee contact. Cogliano returned to the game not long after, so looks like he is fine.
– Hemsky yet again blows past everyone in alone but can't quite beat Schneider.
– Oilers first penalty leads to another penalty call just after O'Sullivan makes a beautiful effort to get in tight on Schneider.
2nd period shots – Vancouver 6/15, Edmonton 8/20
3rd Period Recap:
1:16 – VAN – PP – Ehrhoff from Hodgson
Yet another PP goal for the Canucks, as they make a mockery of our PK. Hodgson and Ehrhoff skate into the Oilers zone and full speed. Ehrhoff dishes to Hodgson, and all three of Gilbert, Penner and Strudwick focus on Hodgson, who passes it back to Ehrhoff who meanwhile has easily skated in behind everyone, alone on Khabibulin for the goal.
3rd period shots: Vancouver 8/25, Edmonton 7/27
Other highlights
– Staios somehow gets a penalty for interference on Hordichuk who was skating towards the net. Staios drove him right towards Khabibulin. The Oilers finally kill that PK off, although Vancouver got a penalty part way through that PK (about 20 seconds left) to help them along.
– Some kid busts a move and is caught on camera… not sure why I posted this, but it made me laugh!
– Brule and Hansen take off the buckets and go at it. Before Brule really knows how fearce that fight was going to be, Hansen is throwing hard bombs at his head. It looked pretty viscious in there. A dog fight; haymakers from both sides, but Hansen got off to a great start. Brule skates to the dressing room for repairs, bloodied up after that one. I'll put the homerism aside… win to Hansen, but good fight by Brule.
– Horcoff and co rush into the Canucks zone. Horcoff fires it to the middle of the net from the right boards.. Jacques redirects it on net, but is stopped by Schneider.
– O'Sullivan breaks in one on two, but powers past the Vancouver D somehow, on his way by he is held up, but still manages to get a weak one handed shot on goal. Definitely a missed holding call there, but what a nice play by O'Sullivan.
– JFJ hits O'Brien.. nothing big.. a fair bit after O'Brien has released the puck, really hammering into everyone's minds that "JFJ finishes checks". Later on, JFJ finishes another check on O'Brien, drawing some chirps from O'Brien. JFJ wiggles the gloves a bit, and O'Brien flees the scene.
– Visnovsky buries Daniel Sedin into the boards in the Edmonton zone, but from behind, earning the penalty.
1:57 – EDM – Gilbert from Penner, Brule
Brule wins the draw, and Penner "serves one up on a platter" (Stauffer's words) for Gilbert who hammers one to the net, roof daddy past Schneider.
Overtime shots: Vancouver 2/27, Edmonton 1/28
Other Highlights
– Our PKing defencemen d-men to start overtime are Strudwick and Smid… not sure I agree with that, but it worked out this time as the Oilers kill a critical one.
Wow, what a game. Where to start?
JFJ… this was the JFJ show tonight. If anyone wasn't a fan… if Quinn was unsure if he could rely on him on line 1… well that ended any doubts. Pencil in JFJ for top line LW come October 3rd. He was throwing his body around, and making nice passes, and finishing equally nice passes. That top line was money tonight. It looked like a real top line. And it's good to see that we can spread the size over a few lines. I guess Quinn wasn't crazy when he said he saw some big bodies here.
MacIntyre was originally slated for 3rd line with Gagner/Cogliano, but Reddox played there instead and Big Mac sat back on his natural line 4 spot with Brule and Stortini. MacIntyre was pretty much a non-factor tonight, by my count.. so I wonder if he will remain in the line up come Wednesday at 3:00pm (deadline to have the 23-man roster in).
Cogliano and Gagner again looked good. Reddox was completely out of place with those two though. He did set up Cogliano on a short-handed play to end the 3rd period, but aside from that, he didn't impress.
Our PK… well, this was a complete turnaround from what we saw vs. Calgary. Brutal, is all I can say. Hopefully they fix the problems with it.
O'Sullivan was deserving of a start as well tonight. He was all over the ice and doing everything he needed to do. He looked like the O'Sullivan I was excited about acquiring. Him and Comrie continue their spectacular chemsitry.
So after tonight, I think I can safely say that JFJ is a 100% lock for this team. I have a feeling that barring players on the IR (which could happen with Pouliot, from what I understand), MacIntyre and Reddox will be cut, among others.

who did Brule scrap?
OilerTyler: Does pre-season count in our pool?
not sure where else to ask this, but since the topic was brought up here any ways…
Another Hockey pool, yahoo again, an american buddy of mine, and a couple of his marine friends had a hockey pool last year I was in, he wanted to do it again, but he's having trouble finding enough players, we need at least 4 more, so let me know ASAP if you want in, and I'll get you the league info.
one of the marines is Stars fan, and another is an obnoxious wings fan(in a good way) so, some Oiler backup would be kinda nice in there.

Epic Records to Pull 'Karate Chop' Remix With Lil Wayne's Offensive Emmett Till Lyrics
In the wake of the backlash from Lil Wayne's offending lyrics on Future's 'Karate Chop' remix, Epic Records CEO L.A. Reid has apologized to the family of Emmett Till and is pulling the online version of the song.
The remix track features a cameo appearance by Weezy in which he raps, "Pop a lot of pain pills / Bout to put rims on my skateboard wheels / Beat that p---- up like Emmett Till."
"We regret the unauthorized remix version of Future's 'Karate Chop,' which was leaked online and contained hurtful lyrics," reads a statement from Epic Records, reported by the Associated Press. "Out of respect for the legacy of Emmett Till and his family and the support of the Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr., we are going through great efforts to take down the unauthorized version."
Epic Records will release the original version of 'Karate Chop' but it will not include the vulgar line.
Pulling the online version of the song could prove troublesome, however, since the tune leaked everywhere on the Internet. When we last checked, the song can still be heard on YouTube and other rap blogs.
As we previously reported, Airickca Gordon-Taylor, a spokesperson for the family of Emmett Till, was disturbed and offended by Wayne's lyrics. "I just couldn't understand how you could compare the gateway of life to the brutality and punishment of death. And I feel as though they have no pride and no dignity as black men," she said.
Taylor has yet to hear from Lil Wayne about the song. Reps for Cash Money and Young Money Records have not commented on the matter either.

One is a Milwaukee radio and TV personality, the other is the local archbishop. And now the two brothers — Bob Dolan and Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan — are together on a weekly Saturday TV program in Milwaukee called "Living Our Faith."
Milwaukee's Catholic Herald has the story of the making of the program, including quotes from brother Bob, who's apparently not just being nice when he says his brother the archbishop does an impressive job in front of the cameras. From the story:
"He's an absolute natural on TV," said Bob. "It's unbelievable. I've worked in TV 25 years with people who make a living at it, and he's better than they are. He's so good he makes me nervous. I'm supposed to be the pro here, but the guy sitting next to me is doing it better than me."
It's all part of an evangelization effort by the Milwaukee Archdiocese. But the Herald story notes that TV wasn't even in the original plan until pieces started falling into place.

That said, I vote for Uncle Owen & Aunt Beru... crispy style. Not a lot of play value there aside from the obvious bendy scratch & sniph.
I agree, the Tonnika sisters are doomed. I think Garga and Quinlon Vos both have decent chances, eventually.
I'd say Luke on the Medical Ship, even though he would be in a new costume...boring

(Feb. 2, 2012) -The Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission during their February 2 monthly meeting took action to establish a recurring commercial net season on False River in Pointe Coupee Parish. The proposed action would remove the current net ban and allow the use of specified nets to allow commercial fishermen the opportunity to utilize the resource. A commercial season will allow for removal of undesirable rough fish.
In 1991, False River gained trophy status and initiated a largemouth bass management plan. This plan included a slot limit and banned the use of gill nets, trammel nets and seines. The trophy status was rescinded in 1998 and largemouth bass regulations were altered to manage for a lake of special concern. Since the lake is no longer managed under trophy status, the need for a net ban no longer exists.
The proposed season will run from November 1 through the last day of February and is structured in a way to minimize conflict with boaters and recreational anglers.
This recommendation is also supported by the Pointe Coupee Parish Police Jury.

Public comment on the Notice of Intent will be accepted no later than April 5, 2012. Comments should be submitted to Mike Wood, Director, Inland Fisheries, P.O. Box 98000, Baton Rouge, LA 70898-9000 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Universal Business Structured Solution is equipped with specialized knowledge of the marketplace. By examining every aspect of our client's business UB Solution is able to engineer affordable financing quickly and efficiently.
New York, NY (PRWEB) November 14, 2012
Account Receivable Financing is a type of secured loan in which accounts receivable are pledged as a collateral in exchange for cash. The process involves the purchase of the face value of a company's accounts receivables or invoices by a factoring company at a small discount in exchange for an immediate cash advance. The loan is repaid within a specified period of time.
Accounts Receivable Financing is most often used by businesses that not able to get a Conventional Bank Financing with a short-term cash flow problems, but can be utilized as an interim solution by an entity with an inadequate credit.
When approved these transactions are off balance sheet and do not create any company's liability. Each purchase of an invoice, when paid by the customer, is a completed financial transaction.
Factoring of Accounts Receivable allows companies an opportunity to secure short-term working capital and therefore to get them in a better position to secure a banking relationship for startups, distressed or reorganized companies.
Rates for the Account Receivable Financing are usually determined by risk, duration and volume of the transaction. Higher risk, shorter term of agreement and lower dollar amount dictate more expensive terms. There is always a possibility to get a single invoice funded. Any accounts receivable over 90 days might be not financeable or financeable at the greater discount.
There are numerous players In the Account Receivable Financing Industry. Most of them are generalists and have no industry preference, some have a very narrow specialty dealing with only for example medical or construction receivables.
Benefits of Account Receivable Financing
1. Quicker Funding
Accounts Receivable Financing provides a company with an immediate opportunity of converting credit sales into immediate cash flow for the business. By getting outstanding invoices or receivables monetized company is able to get money in the quickest way possible and gain immediate access to working capital for the business.
2. No Equity Dilution
Unlike Mezzanine or Venture Capital, funding of Accounts Receivable does not require the relinquishment of the company's equity.
3. Saving time and effort
A relatively easy access to a working capital frees up the time and effort. The time that has been spent on collecting payment from any unsympathetic clients now can be devoted to building the business.
4. User friendly
Setting up an Accounts Receivable Financing does not take more than just a few days. No debt is created, financing line grows with sales, interest paid only on the funds borrowed.
5. Confidentiality
Accounts Receivable Financing can be arranged confidentially, so that any company's partners unaware that the business is borrowing against sales invoices before payment is received.
Drawbacks of Account Receivable Financing
1. Account Receivable Financing is more than expensive form of financing compared to an overdraft or bank loan.
2. As the lender takes a legal charge over the sales ledger, the business has fewer assets available to use as collateral for other forms of lending, making them more expensive or difficult.
3. Sometime it becomes difficult to leave as the business becomes reliant on the improved cash flow.
Before coming to the Universal Business Structured Solution for an Account Receivable Financing please take into consideration the following:
- Current economic and industry conditions and how favorable is the time to get financing for the company.
- Is the business ready for the expansion?
- Does this financing strategy match with the business plan?
- Have other more conventional small business financing sources been explored?
Universal Business Structured Solution might be able to turn accounts receivable into immediate cash within 24 hours! If a company is newly formed or balance sheet is inadequate, a bank may say "no" to this company's borrowing needs. In most cases, Universal Business Structured Solution can say "yes" to solving the company's cash flow problems.
The decisions are based on the strength of the company's customers rather than on the financial strength of the business, regardless of a company's credit history or lack of operating history.
Universal Business Structured Solution can help companies that are start-ups, losing money, in a distressed or even bankruptcy situation, because accounts receivable financing is based only on the customer's credit.

BOSTON — Prosecutors have introduced James "Whitey" Bulger's FBI informant file to the jury in his racketeering trial.
Bulger is accused of playing a role in 19 killings during the 1970s and '80s while allegedly leading the Winter Hill Gang. Prosecutors say he was an FBI informant for 15 years, providing information on the rival New England Mafia.
Bulger's lawyers deny that. They say he paid several FBI agents so he could be tipped off to investigations.
With the jury out of the courtroom, the defense argued Monday that an agent with the Justice Department's Inspector General's Office shouldn't be allowed to offer an opinion that the file shows that Bulger was an FBI informant.
During the back and forth between the defense and prosecutors, Bulger was heard using an expletive and denying that he was an informant.

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Led by senior guard Alexa Deluzio's 19-point performance, the fourth-seeded Florida State women's basketball team sped past fifth-seeded Miami, 70-58, on Friday in the ACC Tournament Quarterfinals at the Greensboro Coliseum.
The win propels the Seminoles into the Semifinals for the third time in school history. FSU will face the winner of the quarterfinal matchup between No. 1 seed Duke and No. 8 seed NC State on Saturday at 1 p.m.
The game will air live on RSN, which includes FS Carolinas, FS South, FS Florida, Sun Sports, Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic and NESN. ESPN3 will also stream the game and 1270 AM WNLS and Seminoles.com will carry the radio broadcast.
"I get excited for this team," Florida State head coach Sue Semrau said. "We all know the old adage that it's tough to beat a team three times in a year, especially your in-state rival. Miami, they do such a great job with their program. We're really proud of them representing our state here in the ACC and now in the NCAA tournament. I'm really proud of our fight. Pepper (Shawnice Wilson), she's tough, she's big, she's hard to guard. I thought, even Cheetah (Delgado) at times went up high to rip rebounds. I was just extremely proud of our fight, our courage and looking forward to moving on."
In addition to her 19 points, Deluzio added a career-best six steals and made three treys. She went 6-for-6 at the free throw line and hit a back-breaking three-pointer that put the Seminoles in front, 57-48, with 3:44 left.
Senior forward Chelsea Davis scored 15 points, while reserves Delgado and Chasity Clayton chipped in with 10 and 12 points, respectively, as FSU held a 22-5 edge on bench points.
Delgado also dished five assists and made three steals in a career-best 37 minutes, leading Florida State's guard attack that dished 17 assists and committed a season-low eight turnovers.
Florida State forced Miami into 23 turnovers and held All-ACC First Team honoree Stefanie Yderstrom to just 3-of-12 shooting.
With 6:05 remaining and FSU clinging to a four-point lead, 48-44, Miami's 6-6 center Wilson pulled down an offensive rebound and appeared in position for a score, but the 5-2 Delgado wrestled the ball free for a steal. Deluzio was fouled 10 seconds later and drilled the free throws to put the Noles back up by 6.
Later, Deluzio drilled her third three just under the four-minute mark and Delgado zipped a pass to the Orlando, Fla., sharpshooter for a layup that gave the Seminoles a comfortable 59-50 advantage with 3:14 left.
Florida State's posts battled foul trouble most of the game with Davis and Natasha Howard both picking up four fouls, which forced Semrau to play with a small ball lineup for much of the game that consisted of guards Morgan Toles, Leonor Rodriguez, Deluzio and Delgado in the game with just one forward.
Clayton, a senior who was named ACC Sixth Player of the Year earlier this week, was an immediate spark off the bench when she checked into the game just after the 8:00 mark in the first half. She promptly swished a pair of elbow jumpers to give FSU a 24-21 lead.
Later in the half, Deluzio buried her second three from the corner at 2:35 and Clayton made a layup with 1:54 left before the break, as the Noles took a 33-23 lead into halftime despite FSU shooting just 38 percent from the floor and leading scorer Rodriguez being held without a field goal attempt in the first 20 minutes.
Miami, who lost to FSU for the third time this season, was led by Wilson, who scored 18 points and grabbed 18 rebounds and Morgan Stroman who had a 12-12 double-double of her own.
Florida State has never been to the ACC Tournament Championship, but a win on Saturday will propel the Seminoles into Sunday's 2 p.m. title game that will air live on ESPN2.

Notes: This will mark FSU's third appearance ever in the ACC Tournament Semifinals (2001, 2009)…At the 10:06 mark in the second half, Chasity Clayon became the 29th Seminole ever to score 1,000 points…She scored 10 points today…Clayton hadn't scored since injuring her ankle at North Carolina on Jan. 31…Cheetah Delgado scored 12 points – her second double-figure scoring game of the season…Delgado's three highest scoring games this season all came against Miami (she had 14 at Miami and nine in Tallahassee against the Hurricanes)…FSU improved to 18-0 when four players score in double figures this season.

Better accounting is taking less time
Thanks to GPS-based field mapping and harvest data, it's getting easier to use managerial accounting, says Paul Gorman, a farm management specialist who has taught farmers better record keeping at South Central College in North Mankato, Minnesota.
Gorman has long been an advocate of using accrual accounting along with the cash accounting nearly all farmers use for income tax reports.
Speaking at the annual meeting of the Farm Financial Standards Council in St. Louis, Missouri, Wednesday, Gorman said that most farmers have excellent cash accounting systems these days that often balance with their checkbooks to the penny.
But if you really want to know if your farm is financially sound, cash accounting is inadequate.
"I've always been troubled by the disconnect between the balance sheet and income statement in farm computer records," he said.
Gorman described how he teaches the difference between accrual accrual accounting and cash accounting.
For example, he shows how fertilizer, seed and other inputs bought this fall for the 2011 crop are treated by both systems. Under cash accounting, it's an expense a producer can claim for 2010 taxes. But under accrual, it's treated as an inventory asset, he said.
"We see things in the accrual that we will never see in cash," he said.
The accrual system can be used to generate a cost of production per bushel by individual field at harvest.
That takes a lot less time than it used to, he said, because transferring data from the computer card of a combine yield monitor saves key strokes.
When asked how much time accrual accounting might take, Gorman said, "If they have the self discipline to do monthly records monthly, I don't think this takes more than two hours a month," he said.
Later, Gorman said that allocating hedges and options to the right crop remains a challenge. Many of the farmers he works with rely on records from their brokers, who also may not know which crop the trade was made for. The farmers' accounts may show only deposits and withdrawals in a brokerage account, he said.

Gov. John Hickenlooper signed three gun bills into law Wednesday, eight months to the day after a gunman opened fire in an Aurora movie theater and four months after he said it was time for Colorado to have a discussion about gun control.
The bill-signing took place in his office at the state Capitol, 22 miles east of where frontiersman Buffalo Bill Cody is buried, a tourist attraction in a state noted for its Wild West and independent background.
Later in the morning, as gun-rights advocates and victims' families looked on, Hickenlooper held a news conference in the west foyer to discuss measures he believed can save lives.
One bill limits ammunition magazines to 15 rounds, another requires universal background checks, and the third charges gun customers for the cost of the checks.
Colorado now joins New York as the first states to pass stricter gun laws after the December shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., ignited the national debate over guns.
"This is a fairly significant set of bills that we signed today," Hickenlooper said, adding that none of the measures take anyone's guns away.
But Republicans and Second Amendment activists were livid with the Democratic governor and the Democratic-controlled legislature, saying the bills are unenforceable and unconstitutional.
"The Democrats have just handed me a sledgehammer, and I get to walk through their china shop in the 2014 election," said Dudley Brown, director of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners.
Supporters of the gun bills point to a Denver Post poll from January. Background checks for all gun sales garnered more than 80 percent support from Coloradans, and more than 60 percent said they supported limits to ammunition magazines.
Hickenlooper repudiated Republican sentiment that the bills are some grand plan from the White House or New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who started the group Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
He said he began talking to Coloradans about background checks within a few weeks after James Holmes allegedly killed 12 and injured 58 at the Aurora theater.
"I bet I had close to 100 discussions with Colorado citizens on the Eastern Plains, western mountain towns, and all up and down the Front Range," he said. "I think I can count on both hands the number of people who had a problem with it once we sat down and talked about it."
That consensus is long gone. Hundreds of Second Amendment activists flooded to the Capitol in recent weeks to testify against all seven Democratic gun bills. Two bills are dead and another two are still winding through the legislature.
"We're a libertarian, live-and-let-live kind of state," said Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray. "And these laws, that just ban the common everyday rights of gun owners, go way beyond the bounds of what people in Colorado think is normal."
But others hailed the bills' passage.
Sandy and Lonnie Phillips,whose 24-year-old daughter, Jessica Ghawi, died in the Aurora theater shooting, traveled from San Antonio to see Hickenlooper sign the bills into law.
"It's a good day," Sandy said. "The state of Colorado is making great strides to save lives. Hopefully, other states will follow in this state's footsteps."
Megan Sullivan's older brother, Alex, was killed in the theater while celebrating his 27th birthday.
"My brother was killed by a person with a hundred-round magazine," she said. "He didn't have a chance."
Sullivan also referred to the Tucson mass shooting where Congresswoman Gabby Giffords was seriously injured and the gunman was tackled while switching out a large-capacity magazine.
"If it's three seconds, it's three seconds," Sullivan said. "My brother didn't have three seconds. But now other Coloradans could have that time to intervene if a gunman were shooting."
Hickenlooper made the same point.
"In certain circumstances, someone bent on destruction, even if they're slowed just for a number of seconds, that allows others to escape," he said.
Hickenlooper said limiting magazines is an "inconvenience" for law-abiding gun owners, adding, "We don't deny that. We regret that."
The owner of Colorado's largest producer of ammunition magazines, Erie-based Magpul, already had plans to leave the state should the bill become law. Magpul officials have said the move will cost hundreds of jobs and upward of $85 million in potential spending this year.
"Our moving efforts are underway. It's going to be a phased approach, and until the move is complete, we're going to continue manufacturing magazines in Colorado," said Doug Smith, Magpul's chief operating officer. "Within the next 30 days, we will manufacture our first magazine outside the state of Colorado."
Smith noted he will meet with economic developers from Nebraska, Texas and Wyoming in the coming weeks and the company is likely to have multiple locations in the future.
"This ordeal has taught us to be more diverse geographically," Smith said.
Hickenlooper also said he has instructed the Colorado Department of Public Safety to consult with the Office of the Attorney General to draft and issue to law enforcement agencies "technical guidance on how the law should be interpreted and enforced."
He said the intent of the magazine bill was never to turn law-abiding citizens into criminals, but questions have arisen, such as on provisions regarding constant possession of magazines.
As for background checks, Hickenlooper pointed out that last year, some 2,000 people who underwent a background check in Colorado were denied the right to buy a firearms, either because of a criminal record, an outstanding warrant, a restraining order or some other reason.
"People would say to me, 'Well, criminals aren't stupid. They're not going to sign up for background checks.' It turns out many criminals are stupid," he said.
Hickenlooper also referred to other bills the Democratic-controlled legislature has passed this session, including civil unions for same-sex couples and in-state tuition for illegal immigrant students.
"Each of these bills is about community in some way," he said. "This is an effort to build a better community in Colorado."

Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. Opposes Automaker's Motion to Dismiss California's Landmark Global Warming Lawsuit
(SAN FRANCISCO) Six of the nation's largest auotmakers have tried to dismiss California's lawsuit against them on technical grounds but in a brief filed today by Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. the State of California affirms it's commitment to hold automakers accountable. Brown also requested a personal meeting with each of the automakers to discuss ways to fight global warming without conflict.
In September 2006, the Attorney Generals Office filed suit in San Francisco federal court against leading U.S. and Japanese auto manufacturers for creating vehicles whose emissions are the largest single source of greenhouse gasses in California. The manufacturers automobiles have contributed to an international global warming threat that has damaged Californias resources, jeopardized environmental health and cost millions of dollars to address current and future negative effects.

Ex-NBA player Orien Greene — a 2005 2nd round pick — was arrested in Florida on Monday morning after officials say he snuck into 2 homes and rubbed a sleeping woman's butt.
Yeah … creepy.
According to the police report obtained by TMZ Sports, the 34-year-old ex-Boston Celtics player entered the first home early in the morning and went to the master bedroom where he encountered a 56-year-old woman lying in bed.
Greene then left without further incident and went to a 2nd home across the street … where he allegedly went to the bedroom and saw a 40-year-old woman sleeping in bed.
Greene allegedly kissed the sleeping woman on the neck and "rubbed her butt."
The woman woke up and started yelling … Greene allegedly booked it and went to his girlfriend's house (which is in the same neighborhood).
Cops found Greene and booked him for felony burglary and misdemeanor battery … and then he posed for the saddest mug shot ever.

Don't you find it highly ironic that you have absolutely destroyed every part of cycling - your own career and now the careers of hundreds of other cyclists by your online endeavors and yet you continue to find pride in posting pictures of yourself on a bike and take pride in your unjustly acquired results. You are a disgraced cyclist, a disgraced american citizen and a hypocrite that will use any means necessary to save his own ass. Let me tell you one thing, prison doesn't appreciate any of those traits.ReplyDelete
I am writting this as an onlooker and neither a participant in this dirty sport that you have wiped your ass with over the last 10 years.
blah, blah, blah ... it's not easy to be a critic if the words fall out under your own name, rather than "Anonymous," is it?ReplyDelete
Hey Anonymous,ReplyDelete
It's true. Prison only selects the most upstanding, morally courageous and law-abiding citizens to grace their hallowed halls. I doubt they'll even let Joe in.
As a casual onlooker and non-participant your views are even more highly valued. Thank you.
Finally, you are correct in blaming Joe for the dozens (hundreds?) of other cyclists he personally corrupted. If it weren't for him, the entire sport would be totally transparent and filled with gaily-skipping spandexulites dripping with personal integrity.

A friend of mine is needing to do a short sale on his home. I am very sorry that he is needing to go through that process but I want to make sure that the experience that he needs to go through to make a short sale in Los Angeles does not add any more than necessary to the grief he has already through.
Being that I'm going to be doing the research anyway, I thought it would be nice to let my readers know who I find to be the best short sale agents in the Los Angeles area.

Legion outraged by many for-profit schools
The American Legion is expressing continued concern over repeated revelations of the alleged victimization of student veterans by for-profit schools, many of which are online. Some of the heavily advertised schools are accused of collecting large amounts of veterans education benefits in return for essentially useless college degrees.
Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, and his staff have been conducting a year-long investigation into the matter and will share their findings with The American Legion and other organizations at a July 13 briefing in Washington. Harkin, chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions said, "What we found was really disturbing."
Harkin appeared on a June 28 broadcast of a PBS Frontline television documentary, "Educating Sergeant Pantzke," in which student veterans were shown being allegedly duped by aggressive and misleading recruiters into spending their benefits on education that was often of marginal quality with non-transferable credits and of little attractiveness to would-be employers.
Some of the recruiters, said the PBS report, were veterans themselves who believed they were helping fellow veterans while actually working as unsuspecting shills for the suspect schools.
"Not to sound glib, but when it comes to awarding sheepskins, some schools seem to be pulling the wool over the eyes of our young veterans," said Tim Tetz, legislative director of The American Legion. "We have been concerned with this issue ourselves for a year now. We're going to go to Senator Harkin's briefing with an open mind and ears, listen to what he has learned, what he proposes, and see if that will address the problem. We will certainly do our part as advocates for veterans to help right whatever wrongs are being committed."
Joe Sharpe, the Legion's economic director, said the victimization of veterans seeking a quality education "is absolutely unconscionable. As our own investigations have shown over the past year, our young men and women are enrolling in these schools in good faith and, in turn, are being scammed by snake oil salesmen parading as educators.
"We have already made our concerns known to the Department of Veterans Affairs - who have been very responsive - as well as to state accrediting authorities and, through their associations, to the schools themselves. We have made it clear to all that these practices must stop."

Daniel Schwartz: 'An Artist And His Fallen Angeles'
'Observing the scene around him in Greenwich Village, where he lives and works, painter Daniel Schwartz was struck in 1965 by awareness that adolescents were beginning to look quite different. " Everything was changing under my eyes," he says, "and it all burgeoned into a movement." They dressed differently, behaved differently, even "created a new body type." Schwartz spent the next three years taking what he calls a "long, slow look" at teenagers, and the results show in these subdued and sensitive paintings that appear on these pages'.
That was the lead into a 1969 Fortune magazine article called 'An Artist And His Fallen Angeles'. I find it interesting that Schwartz, who was inducted into the Illustrators Hall of Fame, is referred to as an artist and not an illustrator, and his illustrations are referred to as simply paintings. Could it be that at that time, being recognized an "artist" or "painter", may have carried more prestige?
The painting above was the only oil painting in the series that ran in Fortune magazine. At first glance, it is an interesting mosaic pattern of abstract shapes and colors. A second look reveals suggestions of bodies in various positions of carefree repose. Some are relating to each other and some are not. In most of the heads, Schwartz leaves out features, and some heads are merely a silhouette. He captures the first glimpse or impression of the scene, as though he were painting it quickly on location, before they began to depart. The soft range of colors suggests a warm sunny day, on perhaps a campus lawn or a park setting. At this point, he does not show us individual personalities, but a mass of young people in their own social environment.
Perhaps this is where Schwartz switched his medium from oils to watercolor... could it be that watercolor was faster, or maybe these paintings were done directly from life, and watercolor was more practical. Also, he now focuses on the individual personalities of his subjects. Each portrait has it's own color theme, and each conveys a candid spontaneous gesture, that suggests little concern that they are being visually examined and recorded by the artist. They seem to be deep in their own thoughts, perhaps reversing the tables, and analyzing and examining an older stranger, capturing their image. After all, it was New York City, and Schwartz started painting these "fallen angeles", as he called them, when he was about 33 years old... a much older man, from their perspective. This was the beginning of the Hippie generation, and Schwartz may have been the first to portray, in a national magazine, this early period of the Hippie movement, which soon exploded into a full blown social revolution.
These three figures grouped together, are nearly abstract shapes with only a suggestion of literal representation. The foreground figure and guitar, become one massive shape, with a more literal profile face. Like most of Schwartz's watercolors, they are mainly monochromatic in hue, and in this case, there are muted variations of subtle gray tones... which might suggest an overcast day.
There is a feeling of aimlessness to these figures... a sense of just living the moment. As a witness to the transformation of these young people, I think the style Schwartz has developed is quite befitting to the subject. He shows little or no animation to his figures. They are mannequin like, and seem to be looking for something to become a part of, which is ultimately what happened... they became a part of a social phenomenon that ultimately swept the whole country.
Is this perhaps just a school girl waiting for a bus to take her home to her family? In the article, Schwartz said 'some were ordinary middle class students, but most were hippies, "fallen angeles in mini skirts and too tight pants", he calls them... who come to the Village to cling together'. Using the same transparent watercolor technique, Schwartz was probably inspired by the casual relaxed gesture, with her long straight blond hair nearly hiding her watchful face.
This reminds me a little of Edward Hopper's paintings of stark lonely city people during the depression, usually in an all night diner or a cheap apartment or hotel. I think we will interpret these paintings, from our own experiences and point of view, and maybe that is what Schwartz really wants us to do.
Tomorrow: we will see how Daniel Schwartz illustrates the 1971 military court hearing of the Mylai massacre, during the Viet Nam War.

Every now and then you post a piece that just makes my jaw drop. The image of the girl possibly waiting for a bus is one such piece! Thanks so much for putting this blog together day after day. It really IS very much appreciated!!ReplyDelete

Hi Tom,ReplyDelete
It's great to see Daniel's astounding work. I remember some of these pieces from way back. I'm still in awe of his wonderful paintings. I worked in Detroit art studios back then doing hard-boiled automotive illustrations, we all admired Daniel's wonderful loose technique. Do you know if he is doing any illustrations now, or if he shows at a gallery ?
Thanks so much for your response Harry. It is much appreciated, especially comming from you. I always enjoy seeing your illustrations on TI and truly admire your tremendous talent.ReplyDelete
As far as I know, Daniel Schwartz is only doing fine art painting, but I'm not sure of that. Tomorrow, I give a URL that you can click on to see his recent paintings, at the end of the final post on Schwartz.
The work of Illustrators like Schwartz, make it easy and a pleasure for me to write about them. He has all the important ingredients.
Tom Watson
I was a bit behind on TI and when I opened the page was simply blown away to see these illustrations. Schwartz's complete yet relaxed control over his media and the intense compositions just knock me out!ReplyDelete
Always loved Daniel Schwartz artworks. Now I am studying them. Jim FitzPatrick. IrelandReplyDelete

In addition to releasing iOS 6.1 for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch today, Apple has also released the software for the Apple TV. This update includes improvements to iTunes Match and Up Next, along with general iCloud support enhancements.
Apple has also add the ability to connect the Apple TV with a Bluetooth keyboard (?!), which allows users to enter text for search much faster that using the four-way remote control, and likely faster than the Remote app for iOS, once you factor in connection and navigation time.
The update is available by going to Settings, General, Update Software on your Apple TV. Once you've loaded it up, let me know how it's working for you.

I bet the "poor people" are looking mighty goody to Mitt "Lindy Loophole" Romney..probably wishes he now cared enough about them to get some votes from them.
I said it before and I'll say it again...Romney is losing states he carried last time and the voter turn out for these primaries is still way below 2008 figures.
I like your idea of a 3-way floor fight, but what I think would be even better is a 3 way floor fight between Slick Oil Salesman Romney, Sanctified and Old Cranky Man.
That way Newt"Your Cheatin' Heart" Gangrene could continue to run as an independent and we'd have something akin to a drive by shooting going on before the all dust settled on the convention floor.
Maybe Newt could ask Palin to speak for him at an event...that way she could point out that she will be able to can see the moon colony he wants to build from her backyard.
Ya Betcha! "Wink!" Wink!
At this point, I think President Obama will be able to beat any of the Repub candidates (Romney, Gingrich, Santorum or Paul), so I love the extended primary season. It would be nice if Santorum won though since there is no way in hell that he can win the middle -- he's way too extreme.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Rinse the fish and pat dry. Slice the tangerines thinly; remove and reserve the fronds from the fennel bulbs and cut the bulbs into thick slices. Mix them together in a bowl with 1/4 cup olive oil and salt and pepper, to taste. Season the fish inside and out with salt and pepper. Stuff the fish with the tangerine mixture and tie it closed with kitchen string. Heat an ovenproof saute pan over medium high heat and add 1/4 cup olive oil. When hot toss in the fennel seeds and peppercorns. Cook to flavor the oil for about 1 minute, remove the spices and discard them. Place the fish in the pan and cook on each side for about 2 minutes. Put the pan in the oven and roast the fish for about 15 to 20 minutes or until cooked through. Serve with the Fennel and Olive Salsa Verde.
Place the fennel fronds, parsley, olives, capers, and anchovies on a cutting board. Chop them with a knife until they are very fine. Put them into a bowl and stir in the olive oil, tangerine juice, and vinegar. Taste the salsa and season with salt and pepper.

About the Ebook
In their hearts, they are Children with the purest, most innocent friendship ever formed. Yet because they live in a world full of Grown Ups who judge wrongly that such a bond cannot exist, they visit the Friendship Tree as often as they can, climbing high up into its strong boughs, keeping it alive with the Letters, Poems, Thoughts and Tales.
We have created this book, so that we can share words that speak of pure friendship – words that must not be judged or used for any purpose other than the purest of reasons. These words are of two writers, shared with the world, for every man, woman and child to have as their own. To understand them fully, you must also take time to read 'The Little Prince' by Antoine de Saint Exupery.
By opening the Door to The Friendship Tree, the writers hope to Inspire all Grown Ups to leave their judgements at the door. May All Who Enter one day plant their own Friendship Trees, to nourish and cherish them and the lifetime of Awe and Wonder that such a friendship can bring.
The Friends – inspired deeply by their love of the Ocean and the novel 'The Little Prince' – welcome to you enter their Friendship Tree with Kindness and an Open Heart.
So … How did you get here? Did you stumble in, accidentally on purpose? However you arrived, we are glad you came and hope you enjoy the magnificent view from the Beautiful Friendship Tree.
We encourage you to 'Like' and 'Share' The Friendship Tree, to plant new seeds, and to watch the wave of Innocent Child-Like Friendship sweep across the world like the ocean sweeps gently across the sandy floor.
About the Creator
Having taken photographs for the last 28 years, and in 2008 I ventured back to my country of birth inspired by the great photographer, the late Sir Simon Marsden. His moody, ghostly black and white images, and tales of life as it continues after death, which has always fascinated me lead to my book Britain In Ruins, all shot in infra red. I have also completed a book on Underwater photography that sums up my respect for sea creatures and life in general. I continue with both these subjects and other photographic styles which is only limited by ones imagination, as well as teaching photography and image editing to those that desire to learn more about this great medium. Both my photographic books are available as hard cover or ebooks. Under the pen name Langley Porter, I have also begun writing stories and poems that speak from the child within. The first installment of that can be also found here as a paperback and ebook.

I frequently get emails from people planning trips to Anchorage asking what kinds of things there are to do--here's a list to answer that question. Hope you don't mind the cold! Unless otherwise stated these activities are free.
1. Go ice fishing. The 21st Annual Ice Fishing Jamboree out at Jewel Lake is free with poles, warm-up tents and all equipment provided--perfect for kids and adults alike. My own children love it. The event is usually held in the middle of December though last winter it was pushed back to January from lack of ice. As of yet no 2008 date has been set, check this page for more details closer to December.
2. Go snow tubing at Alyeska Resort. The Glacier Tubing Park offers sledding on Mt. Alyeska, $15 for adults and $10 for kids, in 1 1/2 hour sessions starting at 10:00am. Beware that children must be 42" to ride. Inner tubes are provided.
3. Ice skate at Westchester Lagoon. Once the ice is declared thick enough it will be maintained for skating all winter and on Friday nights there are fire-barrels for added fun. Also, the Town Square ice rink in front of the Performing Arts Center for free skating fun. We did this last year and had a great time--see for yourself.
4. Tour Williams Reindeer Farm in Palmer (907) 745-4000 at 125 Bodenburg Road Palmer, Alaska. They're open for regular tours in the summer but will do tours by appointment only during the winter if you call and schedule one. Admission is $6 for adults, $4 for children over 3 and that includes a cup of feed for the animals. You can also drive to the farm and watch the reindeer for free. Oh, and please note that when in the wild they are called caribou, the domesticated version is the reindeer. For an account of one of our visits read my post: Rudolph with Your Nose So Bright.
5. Tour the Musk Ox farm (907) 745-4151. Also in Palmer, the farm offers a view of musk ox, an Alaskan animal that looks like a long-haired bison with the horns of a yak whose soft under wool (qiviut) is valued for its warmth. Winter tours are by appointment and run 10am-6pm October 1, 2008-Mother's Day 2009. Admission prices are rather detailed so go to their website for more information.
6. Go Sledding. Here's a link that describes the best sledding hills in Anchorage--but for the hardy sledder you can't beat the old Arctic Valley road's winding 1-mile course where my little brother lost his glasses (if you find them give him a call). To get there go up Arctic Valley Road and just past the power house on the left is a turnoff where you can park at the end of the trail and wait for sledders to come down. It's the best sledding hill on the planet guaranteed. My post here proves it.
7. See the Town Square Tree Lighting. Friday November 28th 5:30-7:30. There'll be cookies, music, stories, a visit from Santa and his reindeer and (of course) the tree lighting itself.
8. Celebrate New Year's Eve at town square. With free events for families and children all evening long it's a great way to ring in the new year. Likewise, at Alyeska they'll be holding a "torchlight parade and fireworks display" starting at 8pm.
4-6 p.m. - Children's Ice Skating Parties
6-8 p.m. - Fire & Ice Celebration
8 p.m. - Fireworks
9. Swimming at H2Oasis. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays when school is in session the water park opens at 11am-2pm for preschool children and their parents for $6 a child (adults are free). The large slides, wave machine, and river walk are not available though some days you can get lucky and they'll be running for special occasions.
10. See the Christmas lights. Every year during the week before Christmas the Anchorage Daily News publishes their list of best house lights accompanied by a map. You can't beat free.
11. Snowshoe at Campbell Creek Science Center. (907) 267-1247. Tucked away on the west end of Dowling Road is the city's best place to see wildlife (I've seen eagles and rabbits and even eagles eating rabbits). Get away from it all without getting out of the city. Bring your snow shoes, cross country skis or sleds and enjoy a hike to the beaver dam or break your own snow shoe trail. The trails are free but they also have educational programs listed at their site for a small fee. Do remember that it's in a cold spot where the temperature is usually a few degrees colder than the rest of the surrounding area.
12. See the ice carvings and children's carnival of ice. December 26-28 is the Crystal Gallery of Ice Carving Competition and Children's Ice Park at Town Square. The sculptures are beautiful and the kids like sliding down ice slides and skating at the town square ice rink.
13. Join the Family Sing and Skate. With music by Fiddle Dee Dee in the Performing Arts Center. Sundays, January 4-March 8, 2009, 2-3 p.m.
14. Ride a train with Santa. Okay this one is expensive but it was so cool that I had to include it anyway. Ride the Alaska Railroad to Palmer with Santa and some hot cocoa on an all-day event December 13th or go the other direction and ride to Seward December 6th. Price for Palmer trip is $39 for adults, $19 for children 11 and under it's unclear if the Seward trip is the same price, see this site for details.
15. See some art. Every Friday from 5-8pm local galleries stay open late to highlight new artists--usually with h'ors doeuvres. They call it "First Friday Art Walk" and it's a fun way to explore the downtown area, see this site for more details.
16. Catch some hoops. The Great Alaska Shootout is November 26-30, 2009 and features some of the top teams in college basketball. This one will cost you but for the money you get some good basketball. For more information see GoSeawolves.com.
17. See a crafts fair. The Christmas Arts and Crafts Emporium is November 22 and 23rd 10am-6pm and 11am-6pm and the Alaskan Christmas Bazaar is November 8 9am-4pm.
18. Catch the latest Warren Miller movie. "Children of Winter" is playing at the Anchorage Center for the Performing Arts October 28th at 6pm and 8pm. You can bet Andrew and I will be there. $15.50 for a ticket.
19. See some Alaskan Native culture. The Alaska Native Heritage Month kickoff activity is October 30th from 5:30-8:30pm at the Anchorage Museum. Should be fun--Pamyua will be there to provide the music.
20. Get a free concert. The Alaska Sound Celebration is October 11th, 7:30pm at the Anchorage Center for the Performing Arts and highlights music from young local musicians. A great way to introduce children to the performing arts.
21. Catch a sleigh ride. The Horse Drawn Carriage Co. offers sleigh rides through Birchwood, just outside of Anchorage for small groups of 2-4 or for large groups of up to 20. My own family did this several years ago and had a great time riding through the forests and enjoying a bonfire and cocoa at the end. They charge $130/hour for a 20-person sleigh ride with extra for the bonfire at the end but for an afternoon of sleighing it's a great deal.
Also, every Friday and Saturday night 8pm-midnight in front of the Captain Cook Hotel this same company offers carriage rides through downtown, $35 for two people for 15 minutes, $5 for each extra person which is a little more but for a special event it would be fun.
22. Visit Stargate Observatory in Wasilla. Burchell High School's 26-inch Newtonian telescope is the largest in the state and the third largest telescope owned by a an American high school. Just north of Wasilla at 1775 West Parks Hwy it will be open Saturday February 24th and Saturday March 10th 7-11pm for $5 per person. Call (907) 355-9055 for more details.
23. Visit the Port of Anchorage. Not exciting? Oh just find a day when a ship is in and they're unloading or loading and it's something any child would enjoy. Inside is the biggest pile of sand in the Free World, used for winter road maintenance and lots of fun to climb.
24. Join a bookstore reading club. Most bookstores in town have a reading hour for kids, some with crafts and other things. Barnes and Noble has Storytime for preschoolers at 1pm on Saturdays and 11 am Wednesday and an American Girl club that meets Tuesdays at 6:30pm. Borders has Storytime with Gracie at 11am on Saturdays, repeating at 11 am and 1pm on Tuesdays. Go to the stores' home pages, search for a store nearest you and view their calendar of events.
25. Visit the Alaska Zoo. Though summer viewing is more popular, the animals are more active in the winter and the Zoo has educational programs scheduled regularly throughout the winter. Visit their web page for details, admission is $10/adult, children 3 and over $6--the Storytime At the Zoo program costs $2 after regular admission.
26. Check out the Home Depot and Lowe's kid clubs. They're free and children are provided aprons, tools and kits to build various projects. Home Depot on Abbott's is the first Saturday of every month 9am-12pm while supplies last (I've never had supplies not last). Lowe's on Old Seward and O'Malley is the second Saturday 10am.
27. Attend Fur Rendezvous. Two week's worth of winter celebrations including snow sculpture competitions, a blanket toss, art exhibits, amusement park rides, an antique car show, a Native crafts bazaar and so many other things--some free and some not. Dates are February 27-March 8, 2009. For more about this annual festival read my post: Fur Rendezvous 2007.
28. Go to the theater. With many small theater companies in town performing all winter, what's not to like? I'm excited to see the magic show Illusions.
Training Better Artists Theatre Company
This theater company's ticket prices and productions are perfect for families with small children and are a great introduction to the dramatic arts--of all the troupes in town they're definitely the best for introducing children to the dramatic arts. We'll be going to most of these this season.

Tickets: $12 adult, $8 children 12 and under, students $10
29. Go dog sledding. We've taken rides with the Lucky Husky Sled Dog Kennel near Willow and had a wonderful time charging through the snowy wilderness with only our Trusty Guide and eight animal friends but they appear to be out of business. Susitna Dog Tours is another operation in Willow that offers dog sled tours, and though they can be expensive at $85/person the experience is certainly something that you'll remember. Here is another site that lists other companies that offer dog tours in Anchorage, Willow or Girdwood. And speaking of sled dogs, don't miss opening day of the Iditarod on Saturday March 7, 2009 at 10am on 4th and D Street in downtown Anchorage. Pray for snow and take the kids, they'll be almost as excited as the dogs.
30. Go to the Anchorage Museum of Art. (907) 343-4326 Check their web page for exhibits and concerts such as "Wonderland of Toys" runs November 28-December 31. Concerts are held on each afternoon Sunday in December performing holidays favorites. Admission is $8 adults, $5 kids unless you have a membership. November 9th and December 11th are AT&T Free Day.
31. See the gingerbread village at the Captain Cook Hotel. Every year the chefs at Anchorage's finest hotel create a gingerbread village--complete with an electric toy train--that is guaranteed to delight.
32. Celebrate Alaskan statehood. It's our big old Golden Celebration of 50 years of American-ness. The party starts January 3, 2009 2-7 p.m. with free entertainment in the Egan, PAC and Dena'ina Centers. Fireworks at approx. 7:15 p.m.

- patty w said...
Lots of great things on that list! I would love to be able to visit Alaska!
- Anonymous said...
Michelle, you make 20 hours of darkenss and sub-zero temps sound positively delightful!

Only 32! That's hardly going to cover your entertainment for all those long winter days?
Of course!
You're just talking about weekend entertainment.
- cndymkr / jean said...
Wow what a great list. It seems so odd to be thinking of winter. Last year, in NJ, we didn't get any real snow. I'm jealous.
- Nate and Stacia said...
I lived in Anchorage for 6 years and didn't know about half of these things! Pathetic, I say. We also loved to go around Christmas time to the Performing Arts Center for the Air Force Band.
- Erin said...
What an awesome comprehensive list! My husband would do just about anything to go to Alaska (he's a major fisherman, especially ice fishing). One day!
- Ni Yachen said...
What happened to Fall? Winter is still a ways off.
We like to go exploring Kencaid park with skis or snowshoes. I also like to snowshoe around Lake Hood at night. We also build snow caves and forts.
- Motherhood for Dummies said...
oh I am so going to have ot keep these in mind when winter comes. I sooooo want to go tubing! but I guess lucy might be too young
- Bobbie in AK said...
Thanks for providing a great list. I know that my kids and I will try to do a bunch of these this winter.
- Damselfly said...
Wow, visitors to Anchorage in winter must be very hearty!
That indoor water park? Drool. Jealous!
- Duke, Kathryn, & Seamus said...
Hey Michelle, Thanks for the lesson at Enrichment last night! I have been blogging for over a year now(family update type stuff) and I honestly thought that the blogging class would be boring. I mean, I know how to write a post, what else could there possibly be! :-) Well, I only knew about a 10th of what you talked about! It was a great class! I learned a lot and had lots of fun too! I went home and read the post about the crazy security guard! Thanks for posting all the winter activities too! I know it can seem like it's far away but a few years ago we had a foot of snow by september 25th. Hopefully our winter will be better than our pseudo-summer! :-)
- kkryno said...
What a great list! The kids aren't the only ones who will enjoy these fun and varied things.
Having only lived in Anchorage a year, this will give us older "kids" some wonderful activities to look forward to. Thanks for sharing.
- Halloween Doll Clothes Gal said...
Wow - that's a lot of stuff. It'll keep you busy....and fun too.
- SuperWife said...
Thanks for this list of cool stuff! My husband and I were originally planning to move before the snow hit, but it seems now we'll be here for another winter. We both promised to make the best of it even though neither of us ski or snowmachine, so these are some awesome alternatives for us to try out! THANK YOU! :D
- Shalee said...
Tubing... I remember doing that when we lived in Washington state as a kid. Such fun!
- Amber M. said...
My brother-in-law is coming up with his basketball team to play in the shootout this year. From Louisiana.
I hope his guys pack their long-johns!
- SabineM said...
That's in, I am MOVING IN! Hope that new addition on your house, included MY bedroom! I am here in 95 degrees weather, WHERE IS THE FALL!?!?!?
- All Rileyed Up said...
Everything sounds so fun, I just wish I could tolerate cold weather better...
- Donna said...
Re #14, train to Palmer. This year tickets are $59 for adults and $29 for children. Seward was considerably more.

Social Media: Guidelines for Employees
Employees are increasingly participating in social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Linked in, each of which present different avenues for sharing personal and professional interests. Maintaining the boundaries between work and home can be difficult when co-workers are added to our personal networks. Casual postings can turn into misunderstandings that can easily spill over to the workplace. Following a few basic tips can keep the harmony in your workplace and minimize the drama in your social media networks.
If you're going to accept one co-worker into your network, you should be prepared to accept them all. There's no easy way to explain to a co-worker why they have been excluded from your network after other colleagues have been welcomed. Remember that Facebook allows you to subdivide friends into lists, which allow you to set different privacy (viewing) levels for different groups. Another strategy is to simply have a policy of not adding co-workers to your networks. Your co-workers are much more likely to respect your privacy if your actions are consistent.
Your postings can be forwarded by any of your friends or followers, and depending on your privacy settings, your online content can be viewed by almost anyone on the internet. Never say anything that you wouldn't say in front of a friend or a co-worker. Try to be considerate of other people's sensitivities to certain topics like politics or religion. Also be mindful that all university policies, including those related to anti-harassment and ethics, extend to all forms of communication, which includes social media, both inside and outside of the workplace. Never air any disagreements or escalate conflicts with co-workers or friends online. Many matters are easily solved with some old fashioned off-line, face to face or phone communication.
Remember that unless you are acting as a department steward of a Marquette site, accessing social media sites should only be done on your personal time. If you do identify yourself as a Marquette employee on a personal blog or social media page, be mindful that whatever you say can be associated with you as an employee. Your postings can potentially be perceived as a reflection on Marquette, our employees, leadership, students, and alumni. You may want to consider setting up both private and public profiles with appropriate sharing settings.
The increase in social media usage will only continue the blurring of the traditional separations between work life and personal life. Learning as much as you can about your social networks and practicing common sense restraint will help to secure your professional and personal reputation while maintaining a cohesive work environment.
Please refer back to the main Grow page for information on upcoming sessions highlighting the latest trends and practices in social media.

Lucy Stone (1818-1893) was hired by the American Anti-Slavery Society in 1848 to deliver anti-slavery lectures. She was also interested in women's rights, and arrived at an interesting compromise with the Society which did not want the anti-slavery issue to be confused with women's rights. Lucy gave speeches on anti-slavery on the weekends. During the week, she would speak on women's rights and charged admission. In 1850, she organized the first national conference on women's rights, held in Worcester, Massachusetts. She spoke on anti-slavery in Greenfield, Massachusetts, in April, 1850. The Gazette & Courier was the newspaper in Greenfield, Massachusetts, from July 20, 1841 until June 24, 1932. Before 1841 the newspaper's name changed quite frequently, with Gazette a frequent part of the title
