The kick was wide left. It was over.
The Nebraska football team trudged off the field on a steamy night at the Orange Bowl, heads held high. Without a trophy but not without their pride.
They were 17-point underdogs to mighty Florida State. They came within a whisker of one of the greatest wins in college football history. Of immortality.
In the disconsolate locker room, coach Tom Osborne broke the silence.
"Tomorrow, you will not be voted national champions," Osborne told his team. "But you gave me your best tonight. The way you approached this game, the way you prepared, the way you performed, and the way you fought through bad breaks and adversity. You did everything we asked you to do.
"In my book, we're champions."
The history book says the 1994 Huskers were Osborne's first national champions. Historians say the 1995 squad was the best. The 1997 team won the bookend title and helped define the greatest era.
This is the 20th anniversary of the 1993 Huskers. They aren't expecting a reunion. No recognition for their place in program history.
It's an important place in history, though. The 1993 team was one of five Osborne teams to finish the regular season undefeated. But, like the 1983 team, it lost the last game.
But the '93 Huskers taught Nebraska how to win again. Put the program back on the national map.
They faced the best bowl opponent of any Nebraska team in the 1990s: No. 1 Florida State with Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward. If they had delivered Osborne's first national title as 17-point underdogs to Bobby Bowden's superhuman club, they would be the most celebrated Nebraska team in history.
The team fell two points short, one kick short. And fell through the cracks of history.
|Join the daily conversation on the Tom Shatel Facebook page.
"I've always kind of felt sorry for the seniors on that team," said Zach Wiegert, a junior on that team who went on to win the Outland Trophy on the 1994 national title team. "They deserved to win that game. If we make that field goal, it's one of the all-time greatest teams in college football history."
It was the bridge team. A blend of seniors who had been through the bottom-out of 1990 and the transition to the Unity Council and the 4-3 defense — and the fresh and talented underclassmen, some of whom would become among the storied names in school history.
But first they had to figure out how to win. It all started 20 years ago, this week, when No. 8 Nebraska played UCLA in the Rose Bowl. It was Sept. 18, 1993.
"We had been through a lot as a program, and that year was kind of a gut check for us," said Trev Alberts, a senior rush end in 1993. "Our motto was 'Refuse to Lose.' Boyd Epley had really spent a lot of time with us on finishing. To lose a game that early in the season could have been devastating."
Nebraska was without preseason All-America I-back Calvin Jones, who had a knee strain. Sophomore quarterback Tommie Frazier played on a bad ankle. A freshman from L.A. named Lawrence Phillips had a big debut. The unranked Bruins had a 53-yard touchdown called back by a penalty and missed two field goals. Nebraska won 14-13.
"It wasn't pretty at all," Alberts said after the game. "But I'm going back to Lincoln with a smile on my face."
That would be the theme. There weren't many blowout wins in the 11-0 run. This was a machine only in the sense of cranking out a way to win each week.
"It was a lunch pail group," Alberts said. "Some of the young kids were flashy, but we were mostly a team of unassuming workers. Our captains were Gerald Armstrong from Ponca (Neb.), Lance Lundberg from Wausa (Neb.), myself and John Reece from Texas.
"We were a bunch of fighters. That was our mentality."
It came in handy during two straight Saturdays that held the season together. There was a 21-17 win at Colorado on Oct. 30 — NU's first win at Folsom Field since 1987. It was the first signature win for defensive coordinator Charlie McBride's 4-3 scheme. Kordell Stewart was sacked four times and hurried into a costly interception late.
Then there was Lawrence. The Huskers came out sluggish and Kansas coach Glen Mason's best team came down to a two-point conversion for the upset. Defensive tackle Kevin Ramaekers helped force an incompletion. Mason left running back June Henley (37 carries, 148 yards) on the sideline for the two-point try.
|Join the conversation on the Big Red Today Facebook page.
Their signature moment and memory will always be the Orange Bowl. Frazier outplaying Ward, Osborne outcoaching Bowden, the 4-3 defense in full bloom and a four-man rush sacking the Heisman winner five times. The Corey Dixon punt return called back. The William Floyd fumble. Of course, those two.
The crazy final minutes. NU takes the lead, then FSU comes down and regains it. A long pass from Frazier to Trumane Bell. The clock expires. No, wait. There's still a second left. Byron Bennett rushed out to attempt a 45-yard field goal. Wide left.
The Huskers shocked the world, if not themselves, that night. They served notice that NU was back near the top. The Big Red brand was transformed from a program that can't win the big one to one that just might win a few big ones.
That type of legacy doesn't get put in a trophy case or get a reunion. Maybe it should.
"That year was the turning point for two things," Wiegert said. "It was the first time we had a game against a team that was supposed to be faster and more talented than us and we outplayed them in all facets of the game. Nebraska wasn't a team that you dreaded playing. But we became one after that game.
"The other thing was, our reaction to losing the national championship game. Instead of boo-hoo, there were people in the locker room within five minutes after the game saying 'that will never, ever happen again.' The work ethic and determination from that game began immediately in the offseason. And the incoming freshmen like Grant Wistrom saw that and learned that was how it was going to be in this program."
They set up the 90s. But after the game, it didn't necessarily feel that way. Alberts said when Osborne called his team champs, it "softened the pain." But they couldn't help but wonder if they had blown an opportunity.
A year later, Alberts went back to the Orange Bowl and watched Touchdown Tommie come back and Cory Schlesinger score twice and Osborne get carried off the field with his brass ring. He then went back into the same locker room to congratulate the coach.
"He had just won his national championship," Alberts said. "And the first thing he does is come up to me and say, 'I am so sorry you and the other seniors didn't get to experience this last year. You deserve it.' "
Twenty years later, they deserve to be remembered.

While information about college outcomes has traditionally been hard to find, a handful of online providers are now trying to fill that void with data about salary, employment, and net worth for grads of many popular schools.
The hitch: So far at least, the stats are as notable for what they don't reveal as for what they do.
For families, then, the information is one more factor to consider when choosing a college, but it shouldn't be overweighted. Here's how to mine what's most useful.
Get the big picture
The new tools come in two basic types: those that provide broad statistics on salary or net worth for many colleges using self-reported figures from grads, and those with more finely cut data but for relatively few schools.
Perhaps the most comprehensive listing is at PayScale.com (go to "education," then "college salary report"), which has starting and mid-career income figures for the typical graduate of 1,000 schools, earnings ranges by degree (10th to 90th percentile), and a screen that lets you rank schools.
Related: Colleges with the highest paid grads
AlumniFactor.com ($3.99 a month) has stats on net worth and the percentage of grads at various income levels for 1,500 or so colleges.
Interesting stuff, but without a single average salary figure by degree you can't really tell if a school will give your child an edge.
"Someone who graduates from Harvard and becomes a teacher isn't going to earn that much more than other teachers," says Anthony Carnevale, director of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce.
Drill down, if possible
If your student is interested in any of the roughly 100 schools listed under "education" at NerdWallet.com, you can get average starting salaries and employment rates for schools within universities. Users can see, say, that 85% of students from Boston College's nursing school land jobs right after graduation, vs. 31% from Marquette's.
College Measures (collegemeasures.org/esm) breaks down average first-year salary info by major for every school in a particular state using government figures. Only six states have agreed to provide data so far, but College Measures is negotiating to get more on board.
Connect outcome to price
You can also use these tools to help figure out if a specific school is a good value by weighing the salary data against how much it will cost your child to attend (use the net price calculator).
If two schools offer the same job prospects but one costs a lot more, what are those extra dollars really buying?
"When you're investing that much money in your child's future," says Mark Kantrowitz, head of Finaid.org, "you want to be sure it's a smart investment."

License Plate Lights at 1A Auto
License Plate Lights
What are License Plate Lights and where are they Located?
As you undoubtedly know already, a vehicle's license plate is an important accessory as it is used to distinguish the vehicle from others. License plate lights, also referred to as license plate lamps, illuminate a vehicle's rear license plate. Generally, there will be two lights mounted to the rear bumper that shine on your license plate. They come on when your other vehicle lights are activated, and serve to make your license plate visible and legible while driving at night or during inclement weather.
How do I Know if my License Plate Light Assembly Needs to be Replaced?
Many states require that your license plate be visible at night. Broken license plate lights could result in a ticket or a failed vehicle inspection. If the license plate lights don't turn on with your other lights, then you will need to find the source of the problem and remedy it, in order to avoid legal trouble. The bulbs can burn out over time. Problems with the fuses or wiring may cause the license plate lights to fail to turn on. It is also possible for the license plate light housing and lenses to become damaged by debris or in an accident.
Can I Replace a License Plate Light Assembly Myself?
The license plate light assembly should prove fairly easy to replace. If you are only replacing the bulbs, you may be able to pull them out from behind the bumper and change them. To replace the license plate light lenses and housings you'll need to unbolt the old ones, pry them off and disconnect the bulbs. Reverse this procedure to install the new ones.
Need a License Plate Light Replacement?
If you are in need of a license plate light replacement for your vehicle, then you have come to the right place! 1A Auto offers a large selection of aftermarket license plate lamps for many makes and models, all at great prices! If you need to get your vehicle back in working order again, our replacement license plate lights are exactly what you need.

Call our customer service toll free at 888-844-3393 if you have any questions about our aftermarket license plate lights, warranty, compatibility or to purchase, or you can buy online.

Apple's iPhone 5 as loss leaderDecember 19, 2012: 8:03 AM ET
Big chains are selling the hot phone at steep discounts. Good luck trying to find one.
FORTUNE -- If you follow Apple (AAPL) news half as obsessively as I do, you've no doubt heard that Walmart (WMT) and now Fry's Electronics are selling the iPhone 5 at steep discounts -- $127 and $126, respectively. I've seen a lot of headlines, and even some commentary to the effect that the discounting shows that the "niche premium magic" of the "once uber-cool gizmo" is gone, not to mention Apple's enviable profit margins.
The thing is, I've haven't heard of anyone who managed to buy a dscounted iPhone 5 at Walmart or Fry's. I'm sure the big chain stores must have had at least a few in stock. Unlike outfits such as Overstock Auction (see promo at right), they're not entirely bait-and-switch shops. But I'm pretty sure they're selling them at a loss, and I suspect that whatever limited supplies Apple consigned to them ran out quickly.
AllThingsD's Tricia Duryee spent a couple hours Friday calling Walmart Supercenters in the Bay Area trying to locate a $127 iPhone 5, with no success.
She had better luck than I did. I couldn't get any of the Walmart electronics departments in the New York City metro area to answer the phone.
If you've managed to buy an iPhone 5 at Fry's or Walmarts, tell us about it in the comment stream.

The Canary Island Connection
Cigarmakers in The Canary Islands Try to Rekindle Past Glories While Battling Production Problems
James Suckling
From the Print Edition:
Chuck Norris, Jul/Aug 98
The magazine advertisement shows a space shuttle view of the Canary Islands, a small group of atolls located off the northwest coast of Morocco. The perspective gives you the impression that the islands, a province of Spain, are in the middle of nowhere, cut off from the rest of the world.
The image of isolation may sound slightly melodramatic, but it's not far from the truth when it comes to cigars. Although cigarmakers in the Canary Islands produce eight to nine million premium cigars a year and have made some recent inroads into the U.S. market, they remain virtually unknown outside of Europe, and not without reason. With some exceptions, Canary Island cigars sold in the United States have been inconsistent in quality and slightly overpriced.
That hasn't always been the case. The Canary Islands have a long-standing cigarmaking tradition dating back to the eighteenth century, and many of the key cigar factories in Havana were established by former Canary Islanders. Canary Island cigars had a strong U.S. following through the 1960s and '70s, mainly due to the Menendez and Garcia families, who earlier had established the reputation of Cuba's H. Upmann factory. They had left Havana for the Canaries after the Cuban Revolution, setting up a factory on Gran Canaria island. Their key brand, Montecruz, was top quality, the leading premium cigar brand sold in the United States in the 1960s.
Today, times are different in the Canaries. A quick trip last autumn to the islands' major cigar manufacturers, primarily on the islands of Tenerife, Gran Canaria and La Palma, underlined the problems facing cigar producers there. Name almost any impediment to producing a good premium cigar, and the small band of island cigar companies are facing it--from a lack of tobacco and poor processing techniques to old equipment and disinterested workers.
This said, however, one of the best cigars I have ever had outside of Havana was a Churchill-sized cigar I picked up from a roller's bench in a Tenerife factory run by CITA (Centro Industrial de Tabaqueros Associados), the dominant force in the Canarian cigar and cigarette business. It was rich and satisfying, with a gorgeously caressing draw and all the aroma and flavor of a great cup of espresso. I didn't want to put it out even when it burned down to my fingertips. Unfortunately, another cigar of the same size and brand that I tried a few weeks later was unsmokable, underlining the ongoing problem with inconsistent quality.
The chief factor that differentiates Canary Island cigars from most others is the strong tradition of using Cuban tobacco in their blends. Cigar, cigarillo and cigarette producers on the islands have always used tobacco from two of Cuba's prominent growing areas, the Vuelta Abajo and Remedios. The former is the same area that produces great Havanas (or "Habanos," as the Cubans like to call their hand-rolled smokes), while the latter region traditionally produces a strong, dark tobacco for cigarettes.
Since the early 1990s, however, Canary Island cigar manufacturers have not been getting the quantities of Cuban tobacco they need due to Cuba's production problems. Moreover, the recent dramatic increase in cigar production in Cuba has exacerbated the shortage. "It gets more and more difficult obtaining tobacco from the Cubans," says one Canary Islands tobacco man. "Not only do they need the tobacco themselves, the crops have not been as successful as they say."
Nonetheless, the advantage of using Cuban tobacco in a cigar blend is worth the hassle. Cuban leaf adds strength and spice to a blend that other tobaccos cannot replicate. Canary Island cigar producers certainly are convinced that it works. "Cuban tobacco in Canary Island cigars is a longtime tradition," says Imeldo Rodriguez, the key tobacco buyer for CITA, the largest cigar manufacturer on the island, which makes close to six million premium smokes a year with such brands as Penamil, Condal and Goya. "We always use a bit in the filler, and for many years we used Cuban binder, although it's more difficult now and we use more Dominican tobacco. The Cuban tobacco gives you much better aromas and flavors to your cigars."
But not for smokers in the United States. Canary Islandcigars sold in the States cannot have Cuban tobacco in their blends because of the American embargo against Cuba. "Our cigars for the U.S. market are admittedly lighter than our normal ones produced here," says Fernando Wanguemert, the general manager of CITA's cigar division. "We changed over the Cuban tobacco for other tobaccos. We had to."
So, Canarian cigars that Americans have the opportunity to smoke have very little to do with the top-quality ones available on the islands. Many are bland, look-alike smokes with few distinguishing characteristics other than where they were rolled. The blends are typically dominated by tobacco from the Dominican Republic as well as some from Brazil and Nicaragua. Binders come mostly from the Dominican Republic and Indonesia, while wrappers originate mostly in Connecticut and Indonesia.

The school's current location provides convenience for parents who live and work in the community, as well as proximity to the public library and the community center. Having had a child who attended Kitty Stone, I can attest to the importance it made in our lives to have the school at its current site.
I encourage the board to consider all of the consequences of moving the school's location, and to contemplate the loss of benefits its current location provides. The final decision should be for the betterment of the Jacksonville community, and not because it was recommended by architects who have no stake in the aftermath.

In 1988, Maryland limited entry into the commercial fishery began through a delayed entry program. At that time a new entrant had to register with the Department two years before receiving a license to catch finfish, crabs, oysters, or clams. Anyone who held a license as of September 1, 1988 was exempt. Because the law did not place a cap on the number of licenses that could be issued, the law did little more than slow the entry of new fisherman into Maryland waters.
Legislation enacted in 1994 ( Natural Resources Article, §4-701, Annotated Code of Maryland) established a moratorium on the issuance of new commercial licenses after all the then (4/1/94) existing applicants on the two year wait list were issued licenses (4/1/96). An individual had to apply with the Department for a new authorization to participate in a commercial fishing activity. The Department maintained separate waiting lists of primary and secondary candidates for each fishing activity in order of the date and time the applications were received. Under Natural Resources Article, §4-701, Annotated Code of Maryland; subsection (d) (2) (ii), a primary candidate was an applicant that:
- Held a current license and wished to upgrade or change licenses, or
- Had been a crew member for 2 years certified by 3 current licensees, or
- Held a valid license from another state, or
- A family member of a current licensee.
All other applicants who did not qualify for the primary wait list were placed on the secondary wait list. Law and regulation stipulated that the Department may not issue a harvest license (after 4/1/96) " unless the total number issued for that type of activity is less than the number of authorizations which the Department determines is appropriate for the resources and consistent with fishery management plans." No new commercial licenses were issued in Maryland after 4/1/96, pending the setting of the number of appropriate authorizations.
Effective June 1, 1998, the moratorium on the issuance of commercial fishing licenses was lifted, with a target cap for the number of licenses of each type. The key elements are summarized below:
- Candidates on the primary waiting list through 1997 were issued licenses
- Remaining candidates were required to complete an apprenticeship prior to being issued a license
- Most remaining candidates were immediately eligible to start the apprenticeship program or receive a refund
- Remaining candidates that were not immediately eligible to start the apprenticeship are maintained on a waitlist until additional apprenticeship permits are available under the cap
- Nonresidents are charged $350, or higher, depending on the difference between the total fees charged to a Maryland resident engaged in like fishing activities in the state of residence of the nonresident applicant and the total of normal license fees for fishing activities in Maryland

A new Wisconsin Historical Society website is coming mid-May 2014! See a preview >>
Menominee chief Oshkosh was born in 1795, probably near Nekoosa (Point Bas) on the Wisconsin River. Although as a young man he fought with the British during the War of 1812, Oshkosh went on to side with the Americans during the Black Hawk War of 1832. He played a prominent part in treaty negotiations in the 1830s and 1840s as the Menominee tried to preserve their lands from resettled New York Indians and American pioneers.
Samuel Brookes completed this portrait of Chief Oshkosh shortly before his death in 1858. It is believed that he only very rarely wore a hat like the one shown here -- when he sat for Brookes at the end of his life and when a photograph of him was taken somewhat earlier.

Does time spent in nature, detached from digital devices, grant us sharper mental focus? Do our minds benefit from observing natural surroundings, either at rest or while engaged in hiking, paddling or other activity? Does stargazing or absorbing a scenic wilderness view open avenues to deep thought that are typically less accessible in information-heavy urban settings?
Quite possibly, writes Matt Richtel, technology reporter for The New York Times. Richtel accompanied a flotilla of 5 neuroscientists during a week-long river trip on the San Juan River in southern Utah's Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in an effort to gauge how advances in information technology affect our thinking and behavior, and how nature might offer an antidote.
While no definitive conclusions were reached during the trip's short time frame, Richtel reports the participants found the experience illuminating. "Even without knowing exactly how the trip affected their brains," Richtel writes, "the scientists are prepared to recommend a little downtime as a path to uncluttered thinking."
Richtel references a University of Michigan study, released in late 2008, "that showed people can better learn after walking in the woods than after walking a busy street." As detailed in a Boston Globe report, that study reinforces past research that shows "hospital patients recover more quickly when they can see trees from their windows, and women living in public housing are better able to focus when their apartment overlooks a grassy courtyard."
States the lead author of the Michigan study, psychologist Marc Berman: "The mind is a limited machine, and we're beginning to understand the different ways that a city can exceed those limitations."
Read the reports, reflect on your own experiences and draw your own conclusions. I just returned from a 3-day, 41-mile hike in Washington's Glacier Peak Wilderness, and I'm personally convinced time in nature serves as a huge boon to my overall health -- physical, emotional and mental. One measureable example on the physical ledger: During a 2-week span of regular long-distance hikes this month, I've dropped 13 pounds. Whoa! But making that reduction stick now that I've returned to the land of refrigerators? That's another story.
But it's the inner dimension where I most often detect the greatest benefit. It's one of the reasons why the last day of a multiday backpack trip is usually tough for me. I simply hate to leave. In the backcountry, everything feels right -- it's less hurried, more authentic, more whole. My values seem to realign, and simpler pleasures are more appreciated.
Thus I find it odd when hiking companions express eagerness to head back to the trailhead on the final day of a hike. I'm prone to long goodbyes, lingering gazes over my shoulder at a world that travels at a slower, more agreeable pace. I guess it's no surprise that I routinely end my hikes with a headlamp lighting the trail.
As we drove out from our hike we gave a lift to a Pacific Crest Trail thru-hiker whose trail name is Elk. The Michigan native, on the PCT since April, was in tune with nature's unplugged rhythms. "I value things differently," he said. "Money doesn't matter as much. You live a lot more simply on the trail. It feels more like the right way to go."
Elk is no neuroscientist, but it appeared he had found time spent in nature brought his world into shaper focus.

Insulin pump users can get sick, just like everyone else.
An acute illness can lead to out-of-control blood-glucose levels. But it is possible to maintain good control and avoid problems when you're sick.
What do you do about your basal and bolus doses of insulin when you don't feel like eating or cannot eat?
What if you are nauseated or vomiting, either from high blood glucose or from the illness?
Examples of minor illnesses include colds, nausea/vomiting, sore throat, mild infections, diarrhea, fever or the aftermath of dental surgery. A major acute illness could be the flu or appendicitis. Long-term illnesses could include mononucleosis or hepatitis.
What follows are suggestions of what to do if you or your child is under the weather.
Call Your Healthcare Professional If You Have Any of the Following:
Do Not Omit Your Insulin!
If you are ill and cannot eat, your need for insulin continues and may even increase, depending on the illness.
Some bacterial infections—such as bladder or sinus infections or a sore throat—can increase insulin needs. The higher the blood-glucose and ketone levels, the greater the need for insulin.
Continue your usual basal dose of insulin, along with your insulin correction factor, as prearranged with your doctor or healthcare professional. But don't assume that your insulin sensitivity/correction formula will always take care of lowering higher-than-target blood-glucose levels when you have an illness. During acute illness, this formula may also need to be adjusted.
If you have not used the temporary basal rate increase function of your pump, review it now with your doctor or healthcare professional. You don't want to try to figure it out in an emergency or when you're feeling too ill to concentrate. You might need to temporarily increase or decrease your basal rate by using this feature during an illness.
If you increase your rates, remember that you must also be ready to adjust them downward as you recover from the illness.
Pay Attention to Fluids and Diet
What to eat when you don't feel like eating or can't eat? Let your blood-glucose level be your guide.
If your blood glucose is in your normal target range, you need calories: glucose tabs, nondiet ginger ale or other nondiet, caffeine-free sodas, juices, hard candies and sugared gelatin desserts. You may not need to decrease your normal basal delivery.
If your blood glucose is high—greater than 240 to 300 mg/dl—you need noncaloric fluids: water, tea without sugar, instant broth, diet drinks, ice chips, sugar-free icicle pops, or sugar-free gelatin.
If your blood glucose is lower than your target range, in addition to adding carbs, you might need to reduce your basal rates as long as you are not eating or are experiencing vomiting or diarrhea.
If you are able to eat, don't be surprised if usual—or even smaller—meals require a change in your insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio.
Fluid intake is essential with any illness. You may need to drink 4 to 8 ounces of liquid every 30 to 60 minutes and consume 10-15 grams of carbohydrate every one to two hours, which can be in liquid form.
If you vomit, start fluids one to two hours later and sip slowly. It's a good idea to have anti-nausea/vomiting medications on hand; use them as needed and as directed by your doctor.
Persistent vomiting and diarrhea require medical attention because either condition can lead to serious fluid and electrolyte emergencies.
Test Blood Glucose and Check for Ketones
Test your blood glucose before your usual mealtimes as well as every two to four hours.
Test your urine (or blood) for ketones at least four times a day, or according to instructions from your healthcare team.
Keep Good Records
Try to make notes about what's going on—blood-glucose readings, ketone checks, episodes of vomiting, temperature, and so on. These records will be helpful if you need to speak with your diabetes team.
Play It Safe
The Seacoast Diabetes Institute in Dover, New Hampshire, suggests maintaining a "sick day kit," which should include the phone numbers of your physician and/or diabetes educator; clear liquids that contain sugar and/or electrolytes such as Gatorade; extra testing supplies; syringes and insulin; a medication recommended for fever; a thermometer; sugar-free cough drops or syrup; and anti-nausea/anti-diarrheal medications. (Ask your doctor for recommended brands or prescriptions.) Remember to periodically pay attention to expiration dates and storage conditions of items such as insulin and test strips.
Always follow the sick day guidelines you've worked out with your doctor or healthcare team. Guidelines for children will be specific to the age group. Work closely with your diabetes management team to be sure that you have specific guidance before an illness strikes.

Everett >Food & Dining > Downtown Banya
2814 Colby Ave, Everett, WA | Directions 9820147.980044 -122.209020

Sunday: 2pm - 10pm
Neighborhoods: Bayside
Make sure to get a Venik Massage at this Russian spa! – Oh my gosh are the staff friendly! They showed us around and answered all our questions and introduced us to people. They made us feel like family.
The Russian sauna is REALLY really hot. Probably normal for Russians, but for someone who goes to the sauna at the gym all the time, this was 100% hotter. Most people wear hats in the sauna. We didn't know about this so we didn't bring a hat. I think they dip them in cold water and they say it helps them to stay in the sauna longer... that is if I understood them correctly. A bit of a language barrier.
The steam room was really hot too, again much hotter than any gym steam room I've been to. Although they don't call it a steam room, their term is "Wet Sauna".
The cold pool was suppose to be 33 degrees and extremely cold, we went in a bit, but were too chicken to take the plunge. Maybe if there hadn't been an audience we would have tried.
The hot tub was really hot and quiet enjoyable.
We also had a "venik massage" which is a massage that a Russian man gives you with leaves in the sauna. It's suppose to detoxify you and the stuff from the leaves is suppose to go into your pours. At least I think... Again, the language barrier. Maybe I will have to learn Russian.
The changing rooms were really small and I wish there were more room to change/put your stuff. But they do have a free tanning bed in case you want to use it. They also have Q-tips, free locker for your stuff, and a hair dryer.
We tried the Kavas, which is a Russian drink and that was cool too.
There is a "dry room" to hang out in, in case you just want to chill for a bit. Play some pool, watch Russian videos, eat Russian food, hang out in comfy chairs and relax.
Russian spa hidden in the heart of Everett – Right in the center of the downtown Everett shopping district there's a Russian Banya (spa). It's downstairs from the FGM church and the entrance may be a bit hard to spot at first, but when you find it, it is worth it!
Inside is a hot dry sauna, a steam room, a cold plunge pool, and a jacuzzi spa. All in a warm, elegantly modern environment.
The 11-to-3 half-price entry makes it a great lunchtime getaway for a quick and relaxing Banya session.
If you've never been to a Banya before, bring a swimsuit and a knit cap. Change into your swimsuit in the large Mens or Womens locker room, take a quick shower, put on your cap, then go into the dry sauna or the steam room.
After five or ten minutes, exit the sauna and jump into the cold plunge. Yes, the water is between 35 and 40 degrees F. Jump in, let your body shed the sauna heat, then get out and relax for a few minutes on the many benches around the room.
Now go back into the dry sauna or the steam room, and do it all over again!
After a couple sessions you will feel a warm, relaxing feeling come over you, called the "Banya High".
Downtown Banya is open til 11 PM so you can also go after work or after dinner and stay til late.
About the only thing I would change would be to add a mid-temperature soaking pool.
Downtown Banya: Go check it out!
Russian spa hidden in Everett – This russian banya is located on Colby in downtown Everett. Its a good way to spend a day destressing. Many amenities including tanning bed, pool table, hot sauna, wet sauna, cold plunge, hot tub and restaurant. Banya enterance is only 15$ M-F 11-3 and free on your birthday. Normally 30$ to stay all day. Spa services are also offered, including some that sound unusual like cupping. Restuarant includes many russian dishes, I enjoyed the kvas, russian fermented rye drink while enjoying my hot sauna. Candy is currently being sold 4 for a 1$ for full size chocolate bars. Staff and super friendly, website is very nice and up to date. Bring some friends, but definetely try the cold plunge no matter how much you don't want to, its so rejuvenating.

What strap do you use with the big PRS strap buttons? Standard strap holes are too small and I dont want to put locks on my TED. So what?

Normally in the past I've just slightly enlarged the hole on whatever strap I wanted to use but I use Schaller straplocks on all of my guitars. I have had too many bad experiences and close calls not to use locks when playing live.
I use Franklin straps on all my guitars, PRSi or otherwise... love the look and they are, hands down, the most comfortable straps I have ever used... I have had to, in some instances, loosen the PRS strap buttons to get the strap on and then tighten back down... they hold really well!
I'm currently using a Monocase Betty strap a lot lately. I sometimes alternate between a Minataur strap and a Levy's padded leather strap as well. All three of these straps required their holes widened a bit to fit both the PRS strap buttons and the Schaller straplocks that I use.
BAM Survivor
I have two leather straps.
One a Levis, the other one is a Planet Waves.
I took off the stock pins on my Gibson SG and my SE Santana the day I got both of them, and put on the Schaller strap locks.
I have a poly strap too, but it is slippery, and it makes the SGs head aim down if you let go of the guitar.
I like the leather straps better, as they grip the shirts and do not slide around at all on me.
Well, anyone who was at the experience last year prolly saw Chris...aka CRGTR on here playing a stripped 58 in the jam tent and witnessed a great catch when the strap let loose....I ALWAYS put strap locks on my girls!! again...great snatch Chris!!

Look closely at Orianthi here with her PRS guitar.
Looks like she is using Schaller strap locks too.
It may also be the way Gibson has the strap pin behind the neck instead of on the outer horn like on the PRS and many other guitars.
I also have to put the strap lock in from the other way on that end of the strap for the SG to make the strap show right.
I wish the pin was on the horn instead of from behind.
But yeah, the SGs will take a dive.

I de-modded my CU22 soapbar and made a factory spec setup.Im in love again.I very much believe now PRS guitars are perfect as they are.

i guess cutting thr hole bigger is the the way to make it fit but then they are not secure. Just dont want to screw with the big buttons.

A little trick I do is loosen the screw in the strap button just slightly, maybe 1/4-1/2 of a turn. This gives a little more space under the button rim and makes it a little easier to fit a strapped to it.

I mostly use a Levy's padded strap with Schallers. I bought one of these awhile back to use one non-strap lock equipped guitars: http://www.coreoneproduct.com/pages/...kepurhome.html
They are a huge pain to get on the PRS buttons, but they will go on with some work.

Luckily, I've never had a guitar fall off the strap, and I've been playing without strap locks since, I dunno, 1966 or 7?
Maybe I need to jump around more or something.
Oh wait, I'm too old now. Never mind.
I have been using PRS straps with my two PRS for a few years and have not had any issues with the straps coming off and have never used anything but the standard PRS strap buttons. I had been using one of the soft leather 'bird' straps, but replaced it with two of the red padded PRS straps - they are AWESOME.! Very comfortable and look great. They are a little tough to get over the strap buttons at first, but the leather breaks in pretty quick. Really great straps imo.
I've been using Planet Waves on both of my PRS and never has an issue. They're such great guitars I can't bear to put a strap lock in either one of them. The strap on my Custom 24 has been on since early 2010 and the one on the McCarty Hollowbody since Oct of the same year and don't show any signs of loosening at all

I use Levy's mostly. Every gtr gets it's own strap so it changes sometimes. Mr Clean wanted nothing more than a PRS 25th Anniversary "white" strap. So, I put out feelers to buy one...and one of you (you know who you are) actually GAVE me one!! Troy gave me a fancy Jaykco paisley strap to go with that gtr, but it seems more at home on the TGS gtr (yet-to-be-named....) The Levy's are a "beech" to get on the 1st few times, but they hold on REAL good after that.

Scott Rawlings thought he'd never best the 173-inch drop-tined buck he arrowed in 2011.
But that was before the bowhunter from Chillicothe, Ohio, checked a trail camera three weeks into October, 2012. The photograph he retrieved put a spring back in his step.
"By the end of September, I had not gotten a single picture of a buck on my Wildgame Innovations camera," he said. "I was worried that (epizootic hemorrhagic disease) had hit my area and killed all the mature deer."
The only reason Scott didn't panic was because he hadn't stumbled across any dead ones.
Keeping upbeat wasn't easy, however. Although he spent many hours in stands the first three weeks of October, he saw very few deer, and none of them bucks, not even little ones.
The best possible antidepressant was the photo he pulled on Oct. 25. And wouldn't you know it: His vacation was scheduled to begin the following week.
[Read the rest of this article...]
What-ifs can Swiss-cheese a deer hunter's confidence like a swarm of Formosan termites ripping through floor joists.
Before Scott Siefert and his lease-mates witnessed Illinois' mid-November rut from their treestands in 2012, they were convinced they'd have been better off buying the proverbial Florida swampland instead of leasing a farm in the much ballyhooed Pike County.
Ponying up for the 420-acre farm was Scott's idea. He was the Indiana group's Madoff. The tract in neighboring Illinois had everything necessary to attract and hold deer: crop fields, winding creek and a perfect mixture of thickets and hardwoods.
"After closing on the lease, we made many trips to erect stands, trim shooting lanes and set out trail cameras," Scott said. "The most exciting part was checking our cameras."
He should've said the THOUGHT of checking them.
When there were no decent bucks among the photographs (from the cameras that weren't stolen), excitement turned to doubt. The gang had paid a lot of money for a lease that didn't seem to have any mature deer, though it was indeed a magnet for trespassers and thieves.
"To make a long story short, we were disgusted," Scott admitted.
But that was then, before the floodgates opened.
When they returned to bowhunt the week leading up to (and including) the state's first firearms season, deer were everywhere.
If you're going to judge a book buck by its cover, you'd better tilt it this way and that.
When Devin Moore of Purcell, Okla., booked a deer hunt with an Alberta outfitter, his personal goal was to shoot nothing less than a 160-inch buck. He was also willing to swallow that tag and write off the trip as an expensive vacation.
But that was before the last-day change of heart that so often afflicts those who travel to hunt. In this case, however, lowering the bar was a good thing.
A REALLY good thing.
Had Devin stuck to his guns and passed on this last-day whitetail, which he and his guide thought was a 155-incher, he'd have unwittingly allowed a 215-incher (spread included) to keep on trucking. Seen from head on, his buck looks 50 inches smaller; the P2s alone look like 6-inchers - half as long as they really are.
Neither Devin nor his guide, Aaron Franklin, will forget that 1 p.m. encounter on the last afternoon of the hunt. They were plodding in the snow, following an old logging road, when they spotted the buck in some willows at 200 yards.
Jason Hardin's first racked buck was faster than a speeding bullet – three of them, to be precise.
Had Superbuck kept on flying in the same direction instead of thrice looping around like a scared rabbit, it might still be in Jason's head instead of on his wall in Chillicothe, Ohio.
You just don't give a determined deer hunter that many tugs on your cape.
Jason and his son, Quentin, were hunting a coworker's land when this saga unfolded last year. They had no idea that the place would become a shooting gallery on their very first outing.
That was on Nov. 26, opening day of gun season. Father and son were manning separate ground blinds about 150 yards apart, and they'd swapped places after lunch.
Eventually, Jason heard Quentin's shotgun roar. Moments later, he saw a buck trot out of some nearby pines (unaware that was the deer his son had tried to shoot). Thus began the loop that ended after a fourth slug finally toppled the almost bulletproof 17-pointer.
"I blew up a small tree the first time I shot, completely missing the buck," Jason said. "I was too stunned to fire again."
Ditto when the deer returned.
"After the second miss, I set my gun down, sat back and held my head in my hands," Jason said. "That was the first racked buck I'd ever seen while hunting, since 1996 ... the first buck I had ever shot at ... and I'd missed ... not once, but twice!"
The third time, he didn't.

Boehner told reporters Tuesday that Obama's latest offer is for $1.3 trillion in tax increases over the next decade but just $850 billion in spending cuts. Boehner said that is not balanced enough.
As a result, Boehner says he is readying an alternative bill that would keep taxes from increasing on everyone earning $1 million or less.
Without an agreement, taxes will increase on virtually every American taxpayer on Jan. 1, and wide-ranging spending cuts will also begin.
