It may have knots, small dinks, varied roughness and imperfections as to be expected of wood. I do sand each piece with an electric sander, but I do not attempt to completely cover all of these imperfections. I think they add warmth, charm & character to the sign. Each sign will vary depending on those characteristics, grain of the wood and distressing. For painted, shabby distressed signs, each will vary according to the distressing as well.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) ? Karen lost more of its punch late Saturday and fell below tropical-storm status while stalling off the Louisiana coast.
Even as a tropical depression with top sustained winds of 35 mph (55 kph), the system threatened to bring strong wind and heavy rain to vulnerable low-lying areas. However, all watches and warnings were discontinued along the Gulf Coast.
The National Weather Service said Saturday evening that the system was stationary but expected to move across or near the southeast Louisiana coast late Saturday or early Sunday, then track eastward and lose strength. It spent Saturday either stalled or moving slowly.
Karen was centered about 185 miles (295 km) southwest of the mouth of the Mississippi River.
Forecasters expected for there to be little change in the system's strength over the next 24 hours and that it would turn into a remnant Monday.
The National Weather Service said storm surges of 1-to-3 feet were possible along the southeast Louisiana and Mississippi coast, with rainfall accumulations of up to 3 inches ? 6 inches in isolated areas ? along various spots along the central Gulf Coast.
In low-lying Plaquemines Parish, La., officials changed an evacuation order from mandatory to voluntary Saturday afternoon. More than 80 evacuees from the area, at the state's southeastern tip, had taken refuge at a public shelter, which would remain open Saturday.
They gathered in an auditorium where they rested on cots, watched for weather updates on TV and chatted outside on the front steps.
"I don't really know what to expect, but they told us to evacuate, so we got out," said Dana Etienne, 27, of Phoenix, La., who was at the shelter with her three young children.
Ahead of the storm, squalls of rain hit workers sandbagging low sections of the flood-prone town of Lafitte, La., along Bayou Barataria.
"We have a high tide, but we only have another 15-17 hours to worry about, and I don't think the tide will come up much more in that time," Mayor Timothy Kerner said. "It looks like it might come up another foot or two, but I think we're going to be OK."
Coastal authorities closed flood gates along waterways that could be affected by tides driven by the storm. In New Orleans, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers continued closing barriers designed to keep surge out of the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal ? scene of catastrophic flooding in 2005 when flood walls failed during Hurricane Katrina.
Col. Richard Hansen of the corps said more gates along various canals could be closed, and warned boaters not to get caught on the wrong side of those gates "If there is a gate in the system, it may not be open when you decide to come back in," Hansen said. "So it's time to pull your boats out of the water and quit fishing."
At the Port of New Orleans, port officials working with the Coast Guard said they were optimistic that vessel traffic at the mouth of the Mississippi River, halted since Friday morning, would resume Sunday. The port remained busy, officials said in a news release, with some of the nine ships at dock there still working cargo. Two Carnival cruise ships that had to delay weekend arrivals were expected Monday.
Dan Hahn, emergency operations planner for Santa Rosa County in the Florida Panhandle said Karen appeared to be a "nonevent" for the region.
The county had activated its Emergency Operations Center for the weekend, but decided to close it after getting the latest update on the storm's path. Hahn said he and other officials were relieved the storm wasn't more developed. But Hahn still urged residents to pay attention to weather updates and to be prepared for any emergency.
"Complacency is always a concern, but we aren't seeing that," he said, adding that most Panhandle residents take tropical weather seriously because of the large storms that have struck the region in the past.
Mississippi Emergency Management Agency spokesman Brett Carr said the Mississippi National Guard was demobilized Saturday and emergency operations were being scaled back.
As Karen churned the Gulf, some people along the coast couldn't resist the draw of beaches.
Ray and Lynn Walls of Shepherdsville, Ky., had a sunny beach to themselves Saturday on the western tip of Dauphin Island, Ala. Waves pounded the seawall protecting nearby homes, and a locked gate blocked the entrance to a public beach that was closed because of Karen.
In Biloxi, Miss., families played on the beach, joggers trotted along the waterfront and a steady stream of cars passed on the main beach front road.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) ? Buffalo rookie quarterback E.J. Manuel will miss "a few weeks" with a sprained ligament in his right knee.
The injury will not require surgery, Bills coach Doug Marrone said Friday, a day after a 37-24 loss in Cleveland.
Manuel was injured in the third quarter Thursday night, when he was hit by Browns safety Tashaun Gipson at the end of a 14-yard run. Jeff Tuel, another rookie, replaced Manuel but was ineffective, completing 8 of 20 passes for 80 yards.
Marrone said the Bills will look into acquiring another quarterback and did not rule out the possibility of that player starting Buffalo's next game Oct. 13 at Cincinnati.
Also, receiver Stevie Johnson has a strained back muscle that is not expected to keep him out of action, Marrone said. Johnson left Thursday's game in the second quarter and did not return.

We recently brought you our review of the 2014 ROUSH Perofrmance RS3 Mustang. During our week with the beast we were able to drag race, road race, and drift the powerful pony car.
The standard RS3 from ROUSH makes 575 hp at the crank, a fact we backed up on our in house Dnyojet chassis dyno last year with 501 hp making it to the rear tires. These power numbers creep close to what the stock Coyote engine internals are capable of handling.
What if you?re an enthusiast who wants more than the standard 575 hp RS3, ROUSH has several options including the wicked Phase 3. The Phase 3 package kicks the power up further with the addition of a Ford Racing Performance Parts Aluminator crate engine. Featuring beefier internals and a slightly more supercharger friendly compression ratio of 9.5:1. Combined with a pulley upgrade for the supercharger, the power jumps to 675 hp at the flywheel.
Recently Ray Skillman Ford had a RS3 Phase 3 at their dealership, and took the opportunity to put the car on their in house dyno. The RS3 Phase 3 spun the rollers to 598 hp at the rear tires, and John Trischler the performance manger for Ray Skillman Ford states that this should work out to about 688 hp at the crank.
Trischler goes on to point out several other features of this particular Phase 3, including the V8 Red paint job, a $15,000 option. The high metallic paint does add a lot of glow to the car, and if you?re going to go all in on anRS3 Phase 3, why not make it unique with some cool paint as well.
The video alone is worth watching to hear the nearly 700 hp engine screaming on the dyno. The best part of the RS3 package is that even in Phase 3 form the car remains 100-percent street and emissions legal, making this quite possibly the ultimate daily driver, street/strip, or track Mustang for those who can afford it.

The NFL reportedly will investigate the leak of Josh Freeman?s medical information. (Jim Rogash/Getty Images)
The NFL plans to investigate the leak of Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman?s medical information and a report that he was a participant in the league?s drug program, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.
Rapoport tweeted that fines for violating player confidentiality range from $10,000 to $500,000.
MMQB: One big mess in Tampa Bay
A Monday?report from ESPN?s Chris Mortensen?revealed that Freeman was a Stage 1 participant in the NFL?s drug program. Freeman reportedly has a temporary use exemption for a prescription drug outside the boundaries of the NFL?s substance-abuse policies. A Stage 1 status does not automatically indicate that Freeman ever tested positive for any banned substance without an exemption.
SI VIDEO: Who looks worse, Bucs or Josh Freeman?
On Monday, Freeman issued a response through his agents explaining the report, and his participation in the program as first posted by?Pro Football Talk.
The ongoing drama between Freeman and the Bucs includes a Wednesday report by SI.com?s Jim Trotter that Freeman?has been fined twice by the club in the last month, including once in the last week, for conduct detrimental to the team. Freeman reportedly plans to appeal the infractions that include missing at least one team meeting and participating in an unauthorized media interview.
The fines could give Tampa Bay ammunition to suspend Freeman without pay and allow the team to attempt to trade the fifth-year quarterback while not paying a portion of his salary.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) ? For Evan Longoria and the Tampa Bay Rays, this was a fitting way to get back into the playoffs.
They earned their postseason berth in the final game of the regular season for the second time in three years, needing an extra game to do so this time.
And their 5-2 victory in the AL wild-card tiebreaker Monday night came against the Texas Rangers, the team that knocked the Rays out the playoffs their last two trips.
"It feels really good to be able to leave here celebrating instead of with our heads down," said Longoria, who had a two-run homer among his three hits and scored another run.
"It sure feels good to get them after so many times they've knocked us out," Ben Zobrist said.
David Price (10-8), the reigning AL Cy Young winner, threw his fourth complete game this season. He struck out four and walked one, and even picked off two runners while allowing seven hits, striking out four and walking one. He threw 81 of 118 pitches for strikes.
The Rays face another must-win situation Wednesday night at Cleveland in the AL wild-card game, Tampa's third game in three cities in a four-day stretch. The winner faces Boston in the division series.
In the visitor clubhouse at Rangers Ballpark, the Rays were chanting "One More Game! One More Game!" while spraying each other with champagne.
"We feel like we've played the same game in the last week like 12 times," Zobrist said. "It just feels like every game is that important. ... Let's just get to the next game and we'll worry about that then."
Tampa Bay won eight of 10 games to get into the first wild-card tiebreaker in the majors since 2007.
Texas had to win seven in a row to force an extra game. Eight was too much for the Rangers, whose season ended in their 163rd game for the second year in a row ? this time without even getting to the playoffs.
"What goes through my mind? We're going home," third baseman Adrian Beltre said. "We expected to be in the playoffs. But we didn't play well enough."
While the Rangers had a last-week surge to extend their regular season, they were done in by a 5-15 start to September after beginning the final month with a two-game lead in the AL West.
"We just didn't get it done. I've got no excuse for that," manager Ron Washington said.
Texas had beaten the Rays in the AL division series in 2010 and 2011 on way to its only two World Series. The Rangers then lost to Baltimore in the first AL wild-card game last October after another late-season slide.
The return of All-Star slugger Nelson Cruz from his 50-game drug suspension wasn't enough for Texas.
Cruz, who had 27 homers and 76 RBIs in 108 games before his suspension, was 0 for 4 with a strikeout while batting sixth as the designated hitter. When he grounded out to short to end the game, Price and Longoria locked eyes before embracing to start the celebration.
When Price woke up Monday, all he could think about was throwing a complete game, then getting that last out and turning straight to Longoria.
"You're probably supposed to go to your catcher first, but for what he's done for us and what he's done for me personally," Price said.
The first four hitters in the game against Rangers rookie left-hander Martin Perez (10-6) combined for three singles and a walk, and yet the Rays still didn't have a run.
Desmond Jennings, in his first start in more than a week after left hamstring tightness, hit the game's first pitch down the left-field line. He was thrown out trying to stretch the hit to a double when Craig Gentry made a strong throw.
Wil Myers walked on four pitches. Consecutive singles by Zobrist and Longoria loaded the bases and Delmon Young hit a sacrifice fly to push a run across.
Jennings had a leadoff walk in the third, and there were two outs before Longoria hit a drive to right-center that landed in the Rangers bullpen.
After Perez struck out Zobrist to start the sixth, the eighth consecutive batter he retired, Alexi Ogando gave up a double to Longoria, who scored on a double by pinch-hitter David DeJesus for a 4-1 lead.
Elvis Andrus walked on four pitches in the first, but was picked off by Price. Ian Kinsler had an RBI single in the third, but was caught stealing after straying off the base and drawing a throw.
"That's the way we play. Sometimes that's the result of it," Washington said. "If everything would have worked the way we wanted it to work when they decided to steal it would have been nice. ... They made the plays to stop it."
NOTES: The Rays could have had another run in the seventh, but umpires ruled that Rangers CF Leonys Martin made a diving, inning-ending catch of Young's soft flyball. Replays clearly showed that the ball bounced. ... Longoria is hitting .579 (11 for 19) in the last games of the regular season, with seven homers and 10 RBIs, according to STATS.

STUDENTS ORGANIZE NEW HOCKEY CLUB AT PITT-BRADFORD
BRADFORD, Pa. ? Intercollegiate club hockey is coming to the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford this fall thanks to some fans of the wintry sport.
The club team will play four games at its home rink in Callahan Park at 10 a.m. Oct. 13 against the University of Buffalo; at 10 a.m. Oct. 27 against Gannon University; at 10 am. Nov. 10 against Medaille University; and at 10 a.m. Nov. 17 against D?Youville College.
Admission is free, and, following the $1.8 million renovation of the rink at Callahan Park, there is spectator viewing.
Practice began last week, supervised by Greg Miller, coordinator of residential network services at Pitt-Bradford, and the team opened away Sept. 29 at D?Youville College. Matthew Pekular, a junior petroleum technology and environmental studies student from Pittsburgh, was the driving force behind starting the club.
Pekular has played amateur hockey since he was 4 and continued playing in high school for Bishop Canevin in Pittsburgh.
During his second winter at Pitt-Bradford without hockey, he decided to do something about that.
?I had an itch to play college club hockey, and I was looking to get involved on this campus,? he said.
He began recruiting some students to join a list saying that they were interested, then took the list to Dr. K. James Evans, vice president and dean of student affairs. Evans asked Pekular and two other interested players, Richard Obermeyer, a senior criminal justice major from Bradford, and Anthony Citrini, an athletic training major from Pittsburgh, to write a proposal and make a presentation for Dr. Livingston Alexander, president, to seek approval.
Once approved, funding became the next challenge. The university will pay for transportation to away games, but students are funding the cost of equipment and ice time themselves.
An early supporter of the students was Ray Geary, executive director of the division of continuing education and regional development, whose sons played hockey. Geary is now the club advisor and has helped with publicity and fundraising.
Pekular said he received help, also, from Lori Mazza, director of athletics and recreational sports; Tim Sneeringer, director of recreation, intramurals and aquatics; and Betty Spindler, administrative assistant for athletics and recreational sports.
The athletics staff helped with contacting other club teams, scheduling, finding referees and executing contracts for the ice rink.
By the time Pekular and other students were recruiting new members at the fall semester club night, there was a good amount of interest, he said. ?We?re in a hockey area,? he said. ?There?s so much enthusiasm around here.? Some students, he said, had not even skated before and spent the summer practicing at home.
Students playing and volunteering on the first-year team are Pekular, defense, club president; Citrini, defense, club treasurer; Joshua Kausner, a 2013 graduate, forward; Obermeyer, forward; Jeffrey Engels, an athletic training major from West Valley, N.Y., forward; Nicholas Gier, an environmental studies major from North Collins, N.Y., forward; Elizabeth Rix, a criminal justice major from Shinglehouse, defense; Matthew Tobin, an engineering major from Exton, defense; Artie Geahr, a member of the sport and recreation staff, goalie;
Justin Demontier, a sports medicine major from Russell, forward, club vice president; Russ Marold, a petroleum technology major from Kane, forward, club secretary; Nikolas Cubbison, an undeclared major from Evans City, forward; Ty Riley, an undeclared major from Bradford, forward; Emily Volpe, a pre-physical therapy major from Brockport, N.Y., volunteer; Allison Nolan, a sports medicine major from Girard, manager; and Shane Marucci, a sport and recreation management major from Celoron, N.Y., volunteer.
Away games will take place as follows: 4 p.m. Oct 12 at Medaille; 8:15 p.m. Oct. 26 at Alfred State; 7 p.m. Nov. 16 at Pitt-Greensburg; and 1 p.m. Nov. 23 at Gannon University.

Using fresh herbs can make a huge difference in almost any dish, but they're not always available everywhere. Depending on where you live, you can't always get them during the colder months. Personally, the problem I run into the most is not being able to use fresh herbs before they go bad.
Herbs like cilantro and parsley are much easier to use up because you can throw them in a lot of different things, but less commonly used ones like tarragon or sage often end up being forgotten and thrown away. Even if you store them properly, it doesn't do much good if you can't use them all in time.
Whether you grow them yourself or buy them from the market, next time you find yourself with an overabundance of fresh herbs, don't throw them out! It's super easy to dry them yourself so they last for months, and they're handy to have around for the times when you can't get hold of fresh ones.
There are a few different ways to preserve herbs to use later. Each method works best with certain types of herbs, but any of them will do if you're in a pinch.
The hanging or air drying method is always preferable because it doesn't deplete the oils that occur naturally in herbs. This method will work with any type of herb, but it's best for herbs with a lower moisture content, like:
The process is really easy, but it does take some time. All you have to do is thoroughly wash the herbs with water, then lay them out on a towel to dry. Once dry, make bundles and tie the stems together with kitchen twine (or whatever type of string you have).
Hang them near a window that gets plenty of sunlight for 5 to 7 days. You'll know they're done when they're crisp and crumble easily.
Using your microwave to dry herbs is by far the quickest way, and is great for preserving their color and flavor. The microwave method is better for herbs with a lower oil content, such as:
How long it takes will depend on the type of herbs you're drying and will vary from microwave to microwave. It's best to start with small amounts until you figure out the time, so if you overdo it you won't ruin the whole bunch.
Spread the herbs out in one layer on a plate between two paper towels. Microwave on high for 20 seconds, then pull them out and check to see how they're doing. The paper towel should be moist from evaporating water, and the herbs will be dry and crumbly when they're done.
If they need more time, repeat the process until the herbs are completely dry. Make sure to keep a close eye on them. More delicate herbs may catch fire if you leave them in the microwave for too long.
Check out this guide on Grub Street for more details and step-by-step instructions.
If you don't have a microwave and don't want to wait a week, you can preserve herbs by freezing them instead. The freezer method works best with herbs that have a high moisture content, like:
There are three ways to freeze herbs. The first and easiest is to lay them flat on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer. When they're completely frozen, store them in an airtight container in the freezer.
Another simple method is to place the herbs flat in a large zip-top bag, roll it up into a log shape, and hold it tight with rubber bands. When you're ready to use the herbs, just slice some off from the end.
The third method is to chop the herbs and freeze them in oil. It works best if you use ice cube trays because then they're already pre-portioned when you're ready to use them.

CAIRO (Reuters) - Gunmen killed three policemen in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula on Monday, security sources said, and Islamist militants released a video of an earlier drive-by shooting of an army colonel, highlighting growing security risks to the government.
Violent disorder has gripped the Sinai since the army overthrew elected President Mohamed Mursi, an Islamist, in July. plunging the most populous Arab nation into turmoil.
An ensuing security crackdown on Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood, including the arrest of many of its top leaders, has raised fears that Islamists will hit back with violence.
In the latest bloodshed, gunmen killed two policemen as they ate breakfast outside a police station in the city of El-Arish in North Sinai. A police officer out walking elsewhere in the city was fatally shot in the head and chest. Gunmen also killed a civilian in the nearby town of Sheikh Zuwaid.
The security sources also confirmed that gunmen had killed a colonel, identified as Mohamed al-Komi, on August 14 on a desert highway near the Suez Canal city of Ismailia.
Almost daily attacks by al Qaeda-inspired militants in the Sinai have killed more than 100 members of the security forces since Mursi's ouster, the army spokesman said on September 15.
Militant violence elsewhere in Egypt has raised concerns that an Islamist insurgency, like one eventually crushed in the 1990s by then-autocratic president Hosni Mubarak's government, could take hold beyond Sinai.
The Sinai-based Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis group claimed responsibility for a failed suicide bombing in Cairo on the interior minister this month.
State neglect has long stoked resentment among the Sinai's Bedouin population. Authorities have done little to promote economic development in the vast, largely lawless desert region, whose coast has a string of resorts favored by Westerners.
The army says the Sinai is hard to police partly because it borders the Gaza Strip, which is run by Hamas, an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. The military says Gaza-based militants take part in attacks over the border and accuses Hamas of doing too little to stop them, allegations the Islamist group denies.
Instability in Sinai worries Western governments because the peninsula borders Israel and flanks the strategic Suez Canal, the quickest sea route between Asia and Europe.
Egypt's Western allies are hoping to ease political tensions which have hurt the fragile economy in the country of 85 million.
A delegation of senior U.S. military officials arrived in Cairo for a two-day visit, state newspaper Al Ahram reported.
Assistant Secretary of Defence for International Security Affairs Derek Chollet is expected to meet senior Egyptian officials to discuss U.S. military assistance.
Washington provides the Egyptian military - the biggest in the Arab world - with $1.23 billion in annual aid. That assistance came under scrutiny after the military ousted Mursi.
European Union foreign policy Catherine Ashton is due to arrive late Tuesday night for a two-day visit that will include talks with Army Chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
Although the EU had attempted to play the role of neutral broker between the army and the Brotherhood in previous mediation missions, her leverage with the army-backed government has proven limited.
"LIQUIDATING THE APOSTATES"
Attacks in Sinai have risen sharply since Mursi's overthrow, although militants and smugglers had already been exploiting a security vacuum left by the 2011 fall of Mubarak to an uprising.
The army-backed Cairo government says it is fighting a war on terror and does not distinguish between the Brotherhood and Sinai militant groups.
Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim said in a speech on Monday that the police are capable of "repelling thuggery and terrorism", the state news agency MENA reported.
Sinai militants have published online footage of some of their attacks - a common practice among al Qaeda-linked groups trying to motivate fighters and intimidate their enemies.
In a video posted on a jihadi website on Monday, a group calling itself "al-Nusra Battalion" shows what appears to be footage of security forces firing on Mursi supporters.
The video then shows what it says was the attack on Colonel Komi on August 14, the day security forces crushed pro-Mursi protest camps in Cairo, killing hundreds of people.
A man with an assault rifle is filmed aiming from a car window and shooting at another vehicle driving on a desert road.
"Targeting the criminal apostates and liquidating them," a caption reads.
A picture of the uniformed officer flashes on the screen next to the car seen in the drive-by shooting, a back window pocked with bullet holes and blood running down the driver's door after what appears to have been a well-planned assault.
"It's likely that they learned his daily routine ...by a combination of relatively good intelligence on their part and perhaps poor operational security on the part of the Egyptians," said David Hartwell, a Middle East analyst at IHS Jane's.
The video says al-Nusra Battalion is a unit of "al-Firqan Brigade", a militant group that took responsibility for an attack this month on a container ship in the Suez Canal.
The army, which has been operating with the police in Sinai, said on August 7 that it had killed 60 militants in the month since Mursi's overthrow.
"There are great security successes on the ground in Sinai now," Interior Ministry spokesman Hany Abdel Latif said when asked about the al-Nusra Battalion video.
"We've arrested dangerous elements and confiscated heavy weapons, and we have a large degree of control."

It's a new beginning for the University of Maine men's hockey team, and Lewiston's Mark Anthoine is excited to be part of it.
With new head coach Red Gendron and a renewed interest in the program, the Black Bears hope this season is the start of something good.
"I think everyone is excited overall, just because it's something new," said Anthoine. "A lot of people are anxious to see how this works out and how things are going. We're having great practices and workouts. It's a great group of guys this year."
The senior forward will see an increased role as one of the club's three captains. Saturday night, the team met and voted on its leaders and Anthoine was chosen along with Brice O'Connor and Devin Shore. O'Connor is the team captain while Anthoine and Shore are assistants. Anthoine is the first Maine-born captain since Lisbon's Greg Moore.
"It wasn't something I was expecting, but it was something I was striving for, just trying to use my time here to help out some of the younger guys and just be a leader," Anthoine said.
As an experienced senior with three years under his skates, Anthoine was a prime candidate to help lead a club featuring 10 new players. He has played in 93 straight games for the Black Bears, the longest streak on the team.
"I've been here for awhile," Anthoine said. "I've wanted to be one of those guys leading guys in the right direction. Our philosophy is that we lead each other and take care of one another and lead by example for one another. We just kind of govern ourselves. Coach Red? wants us to be a complete team together."
Anthoine played in 38 games last year and scored four goals and added three assists. In the 2011-12 season, he had 12 goals and seven assists. He was tied for the lead in the nation with 11 power-play goals. As a rookie, he had a goal and three assists in 33 games.
He says now being part of the captaincy makes him even more determined to make this a year to remember.
"I'm really excited now," Anthoine said. "It definitely gives you an extra boost. Now it gives me more reason to work hard for the players on my team and help lead them in any way I can."
The Black Bears were picked to finish eighth in the preseason Hockey East poll. Boston College and UMass-Lowell were tied as the top two teams.
With UMaine hockey getting a fresh start under a new coach, the team is hopinig to set the tone with their work effort.
"We're just trying to lay the ground work of what kind of a community of work we have here," Anthoine said. "We don't want to settle for anything less then the best. We want to keep getting better every day. We've got to keep building and growing."
The Black Bears open the season Sunday at 4 p.m. by hosting Dalhousie. Fans as well as the players are excited to see what the new season brings.
"We don't want to set expectations that are too big for ourselves right away," Anthoine said. "We want to take every practice and every game one at a time. I think we're as anxious as people on the outside. We're anxious to get things going. We're really excited for the season to start."
Anthoine said that the diligent work that the team has been doing is an effort to start the season strong and dictate what it does on the ice.
"We don't want to just show up for games and hope to win," Anthoine said. "We want to have our foot on the gas pedal and start taking it to teams and that starts in practice every day. That's kind of the mentality we have here now."
Anthoine is hoping for improvement in his own game. He's striving for a strong senior season and make an impact on the ice and in the locker room.
"Every year I want to keep getting better," Anthoine said. "I want to stay in my role on the team. It's my senior year and there are things I need to improve on to help the team. I want to continue to play with consistency. That's the biggest aspect of playing at the next level. You have to be a consistent player. I just want to lead by example and push the guys around me.
"I think we have a great team from the looks of it. I'm anxious to help guide them and play with them by my side."

Hands up who knows about 'fair use'. Photograph: Bloomberg/Getty Images
In kindergarten, we teach children to share. By second grade ? if people who bring you songs and pixie dust have their way ? we'll amend that in a major way.
Hollywood and the recording industry (aka the Copyright Cartel) are leading the charge to create grade school lessons that ? at least, in their draft form, as published by Wired ? have a no-compromise message: if someone else created it, you need permission to use it.
Sounds wonderful, until you think about how creativity actually works. And never mind that the law, already tipped in favor of copyright holders, doesn't hold such an absolutist position.
It's no surprise to learn that America's biggest internet service providers ? let's call them the Telecom Cartel, since that's what they've become ? are part of this propaganda scheme. It's sad to learn, however, that the California School Library Association has climbed aboard; the organization helped produce the lessons that, thankfully, are still only in draft form. But they are likely to reach California classrooms later this school year and, presumably, other parts of the nation later on.
Wired obtained some of the draft lesson plans. They're amazing (and not in a complimentary way). The lesson aimed at second graders (pdf), for example, winds up this way:
We are all creators at some level. We hope others will respect our work and follow what we decide to allow with our photos, art, movies, etc. And we 'play fair' with their work too. We are careful to acknowledge the work of authors and creators and respect their ownership. We recognize that it's hard work to produce something, and we want to get paid for our work.
We're definitely all becoming creators, and we do want others to respect our work. But in the real world, and under the law, we can't make all the decisions about what uses we allow of that work. There's a concept called "fair use" ? deliberately ignored in the lesson, on the absurd basis that kids can't understand it ? that explicitly allows others to make use of our work in ways we don't like, or anticipate. Without fair use, creative works would be next to impossible, because we all build on the work of those who came before us.
Needless to say, this lesson and others made public ? including grades one (pdf), five (pdf), and six (pdf) ? have sparked a bit of an uproar outside the cartel's orbit. As the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Mitch Stoltz told Wired:
[The material] suggests, falsely, that ideas are property and that building on others' ideas always requires permission. The overriding message of this curriculum is that students' time should be consumed not in creating but in worrying about their impact on corporate profits.
What should schools actually be teaching? Happily, there are alternatives honoring copyright, which is important, but that also honor tradition, law and the greater culture.
Creative Commons' Jane Park has compiled an excellent listing of resources that educators can use to teach about copyright. I'm especially partial to the EFF's Teaching Copyright, which I've recommended to students of all ages, including some college students.
The California School Library Association should never have let itself become a handmaiden to commercial Hollywood. Perhaps, its leaders will realize that they are undermining the crucial role libraries have played in our society when they assist the copyright absolutists' agenda ? because if libraries were invented today, the cartel would declare them to be both illegal and immoral.
I take some solace in a quote of the association's vice president, Glenn Warren, in the Wired story. Confronted with the inaccuracy and imbalance of the lessons, he acknowledged:
We've got some editing to do.

Athens (AFP) - The head of Greece's neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party and four fellow lawmakers were facing charges of belonging to a criminal organisation Sunday, as police arrested a sixth deputy from the far-right group.
Party founder Nikos Michaloliakos and four other Golden Dawn members of parliament were held overnight after they were arrested in dawn raids Saturday amid high tensions in Greece following the murder of a leftist musician allegedly stabbed to death by a party activist.
Police said a sixth lawmaker, Christos Papas, a close aide to the party leader, turned himself in to police headquarters in Athens on Sunday. His arrest brings to 21 the number of people detained in the police crackdown on suspected neo-Nazis.
The suspects, who remain in detention, will go before judges on Tuesday and Wednesday, who will ultimately decide on whether to press charges, a judicial source said.
The Golden Dawn party members are under judicial investigation facing likely charges of belonging to a criminal organisation, a court source said. Michaloliakos faces an additional charge of leading a criminal group.
The arrests came after Golden Dawn threatened to pull its lawmakers out of parliament, a move that could trigger a political crisis in the recession-hit country.
The serious nature of the case could lead to discussion in parliament to strip the deputies of their parliamentary immunity.
Golden Dawn was under mounting pressure after a self-confessed neo-Nazi was arrested over the fatal stabbing of popular hip-hop musician Pavlos Fyssas, 34, on September 18, a killing that sparked nationwide protests.
The police sweep came after Greece's supreme court, which has been charged with investigating the far-right group, issued arrest warrants for some 30 people, including two policemen suspected of neo-Nazi links.
It also came as Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras heads to Washington for meetings Tuesday with key creditor the International Monetary Fund.
"This is not just a message for internal use, to show that it puts a halt to violence, this is a message directed outwards, to Europe and others," said political analyst Ilias Nikolakopoulos.
Michaloliakos, who founded Golden Dawn in 1980, has threatened to pull the group's 18 deputies out of parliament, a move that would prompt by-elections in 15 regions around the country.
By-elections could hurt Samaras's coalition government, which has a slim majority of 155 MPs, and could cast into doubt Greece's ability to fulfil its obligations to creditors on multi-billion-euro (dollar) bailouts.
Formerly on the fringe of Greek politics, Golden Dawn rocketed to popularity by tapping into widespread anger over unpopular reforms in a country that is currently slogging through its sixth year of recession as well as anti-immigrant sentiments.
The party, whose leader has denied the Holocaust, has sent black-clad squads to smash market stalls owned by migrants, held torch-lit rallies lambasting political opponents as "traitors" and "thieves", and organised food donations exclusively for ethnic Greeks.
It has also been blamed for a series of brutal attacks on migrants and political opponents, though it strenuously denies any responsibility and claims to be the victim of slander.
A new poll published in the weekly Real News showed support for Golden Dawn has fallen to 6.8 percent among potential voters from 9.1 percent in June, the survey conducted from Tuesday to Thursday -- before the arrests -- showed.

Rome (AFP) - Pasta maker Barilla fought boycott calls on Friday after its CEO said he would never feature gay couples in commercials, prompting renewed calls for 1950s-style Italian television ads to get with the times.
The leading pasta company in Italy and a major exporter worldwide with a turnover last year of 3.9 billion euros ($5.3 billion), Barilla has taken to social media to say sorry following a major backlash.
"While we can't undo recent remarks, we can apologize. To all our friends, family, employees and partners that we have hurt or offended, we are deeply sorry," the family-owned company said on its US Facebook page.
One commenter responded: "I'm Italian, I'm gay, I'm married legally to a man, I have three adopted children. I had Barilla pasta for dinner last night. Today, tomorrow and forever more I will choose another brand of pasta. Good bye Barilla! You lose!"
The scandal began with a radio interview by chief executive Guido Barilla on Wednesday in which he said that their target customers were "a classic family".
"We have a slightly different culture. For us the concept of a canonical family remains one of the fundamental values of the business," he said.
Asked if he would ever consider including a gay couple in one of his television commercials, he said: "We would not do it because ours is a traditional family".
"If (gay people) like our pasta and our communication, they can eat it. If they do not like it, if they do not like what we say, they can eat a different one."
The comments provoked scorn and derision on social media, with many critics playing on the company's slogan: "Where there is Barilla, there is a home".
One spoof commercial seen on Twitter read: "Where there is Barilla, there is homophobia". Another said: "Where there is my home, there is no Barilla".
Guido Barilla stressed that he was personally not homophobic and was in favour of gay marriage but he made a distinction with what the company was willing to include in its television commercials.
The comments threw a spotlight on an Italian adland inhabited by smiling housewives, large broods of children and husbands whose only role in the kitchen appears to be to taste the food and sit down to eat, which critics say is now hopelessly outdated.
"We have to overcome stereotypes," Italy's speaker of parliament Laura Boldrini said at a conference earlier in the week before the Barilla scandal exploded.
"I am thinking of certain ads in Italy in which the father and children are sitting at the table while the mother is standing and serving everyone," she said.
The images no longer reflect Italian realities -- where the number of housewives is decreasing and where a growing number of men are stay-at-home fathers.
More and more gay and lesbian couples are also choosing to live together, even though their unions are not officially recognised under Italian law.
The days when eager visitors would queue up to see the Mulino Bianco, a white windmill in Tuscany that was chosen as a symbol for a famous brand of biscuits also owned by Barilla, are apparently over.
"The parade of women busying themselves with pots and pans, serving and looking after their husbands and children in ads, do they mirror Italian society?" asked Annamaria Testa, an advertising expert.
"Are we really sure they sell more?" she said.
Speaking at a conference of the Italian advertising association UPA earlier this year, Testa said that employing stereotypes was "a dangerous trap".
"Let's finally be truthful!" she said.

With Washington in the grips of government shutdown fever, President Barack Obama will make a 3:30 p.m. ET statement in the White House briefing room, his press office announced.
The president's remarks will come after the Senate approved legislation to fund the government through Nov. 15, then stripped out a House Republican measure to defund his overhaul of U.S. health care, a law popularly known as Obamacare.
The measure now heads to the House, where the Republican majority is divided on the path forward. Congress must approve a spending bill by Tuesday or face a government shutdown that experts warn will rattle the shaky economy.
Obama has repeatedly and categorically rejected Republican demands that he roll back Obamacare in return for averting a government shutdown.

Google said so on Google+. The Glass will start a long road trip, allowing everyone to get their hands on one if they happen to live in the cities that are part of the tour.
Sadly, Google didn't actually reveal the full list of settlements yet. It only mentioned Durham, North Carolina, as the starting point.Fortunately, the country-wide tour will begin on October 5, 2013, which isn't so far away, so the other cities are bound to be published over the next week.
The tour is part of North Carolina's science-focused Research Triangle and marks another step in Google Glass's slow trek towards mass availability.
For those that want a rundown of the product features, Google Glass is an augmented reality eye set, or headset.
What that means is that the small screen held in front of the right eye (by a sleek frame) will bring up video chat windows, show messages, display information about whatever you happen to be looking at, etc.
All this will be possible just with voice commands (as long as you say ?OK Glass? first), although there is lots of hardware besides the small screen.
After all, voice mails and web chats can only work if both a microphone and speaker are present. Sure enough, Google put them in.
Also, a very small camera sensor is included, right above the so-called ?monocle.? Face recognition, object matching to web resources, video recording, all of these are possible.
Google will only push Glass into mass availability at some point in 2014. Some people have already received it though, as part of an early pilot program, and this new tour will increase the number of early owners too. It's a way to gauge marketing interest, in a way.

Seeding fat grafts with stem cells could improve reconstructive surgery results.
Plastic surgeons know that when it comes to rebuilding tissues or organs, it?s best to use a graft that?s as close to the tissue that?s being replaced as possible. So fat cells,? for example, make the best foundation for reconstructing breast tissue, and in recent years surgeons have relied on harvesting fat from the abdomen of breast cancer patients, processing and re-injecting these cells to build new breast tissue in a technique known as lipofilling.
But tissue doesn?t always take to its new home readily; anywhere from 25% to 80% of grafts don?t survive. So in research published in the journal, The Lancet,?Dr. Stig-Frederick Trojahan Koelle, in the department of plastic surgery, breast surgery and burns at Copenhagen University Hospital and his colleagues exploited advances in stem cell science to improve those odds.
MORE: Stem Cell Miracle? New Therapies May Cure Chronic Conditions like Alzheimer?s
Koelle and his team enhanced a bolus fat tissue with stem cells before transplanting them in a group of healthy volunteers, and compared these grafts to those containing adipose cells alone. Stem cells are the founder cells from which tissues like fat develop. Like bone marrow, which is saturated with stem cells that can re-populate all of the cells in blood and immune systems, other tissues in the body, such as fat and skin, are constantly regenerated by stem cells pre-programmed to produce more of those cells. Animal studies showed that adding fat stem cells to an adipose graft could seed new populations of fat cells that were longer lived than already developed adipose tissue that was injected.
Koelle found similar results in his first head-to-head comparison of stem cell enriched and non-enriched formulas. In a group of ten healthy patients who agreed to undergo liposuction to remove fat tissue and get re-injected with these cells, Koelle found that after four months, the grafts of those who received the stem cell-enhanced fat were 64% larger than those who were injected with the fat cells alone.
MORE: Early Success in a Human Embryonic Stem Cell Trial to Treat Blindness
?If we create a reliable and reproducible procedure, I think it will be a great leap forward to broaden the applications for lipofilling,? he says.
The stem cells that Koelle used are naturally found in the adipose tissue matrix ? it?s just a matter of isolating them from the rest of the fat cells. That?s a relatively easy task, thanks to advances in stem cell science that allow researchers to fish out stem cells using molecular hooks that capture this versatile population of cells. The challenge lies in nurturing those cells to grow in robust enough numbers to seed a graft that could reconstruct an entire breast. ?Not every hospital has the culturing facilities to grow the stem cells,? he says. ?But I believe that in the near future, with the way that research is going, many more departments will have that ability.?
MORE: Scientists Report First Success in Cloning Human Stem Cells
That?s why he is encouraged that using fat stem cells could dramatically improve reconstructive surgery options. The latest results showed that it?s possible that stem cells included in grafts continued to pump out more fat cells even as the transplanted ones died off. And as these newborn cells grew, they also released the growth factors and blood vessels required to feed their metabolic needs and help them to survive and thrive. For patients undergoing disfiguring operations or trauma, that could make all the difference for a realistic, successful reconstruction.
