Softball Hosts Northern Iowa this Weekend
The series was originally scheduled for Northern Iowa's Robinson Dresser Field in Cedar Falls. But due to field conditions at UNI the teams agreed to move the teams' three-game series slated for this weekend to Omaha.
As a result, Creighton (16-9, 2-1 MVC) will play its first series of 2013 on its home field but as the designated away team in all three contests. The Bluejays and Panthers start the series with a Friday doubleheader at noon. The teams conclude the three-game set with a single game at noon on Saturday.
Northern Iowa (13-16, 3-1 MVC) moved its series to Southern Illinois last weekend and swept a pair of one-run games from the Salukis in a Saturday doubleheader before the series finale was cancelled. UNI claimed game one in 11 innings 4-3 and beat SIU 2-1 in game two on Saturday.
This weekend Creighton senior Amy Baker is seeking the outright MVC career home run record with her next round tripper. She also is chasing the Valley RBI record, matching it with six runs batted in.
Following the Jays: Live stats links for this week can be found on the softball schedule page of GoCreighton.com. Fans can also keep in touch with Creighton softball on Twitter - @BluejaySoftball and Facebook - www.facebook.com/CreightonSoftball.
Last Time Out: The Bluejays have not played a game since March 16 as inclement weather caused the postponement or cancellation of seven contests including a doubleheader at No. 7 Missouri earlier this week. Creighton's home-opening series against Illinois State last weekend was rescheduled as a doubleheader on April 22 and the Jays' road doubleheader at South Dakota was also postponed last week.
Creighton last took the field almost two weeks ago at Evansville, claiming a 6-4 win over the Purple Aces to earn a series win after splitting a doubleheader with UE the night before.
Scouting Creighton (16-9, 2-1 MVC): The Bluejays have not played since March 16 when they claimed a 6-4 win at Evansville to win their conference-opening series with UE.
Senior Amy Baker and junior Becca Changstrom swept the MVC weekly honors on March 18 after record-setting performances to help lift Creighton to a 5-2 record at the Rebel Spring Games in Florida and at Evansville.
Baker claimed MVC Player of the Week honors while Changstrom earned MVC Pitcher of the Week accolades. The weekly awards pushed the Bluejays' total to four this season.
Baker capped off a record-setting week by blasting career home run No. 52 to spark a come-from-behind victory in the final game at Evansville and tie the MVC career home run record.
Earlier in the week the Omaha native set Creighton career marks in home runs (52) and runs batted in (151). One of those home runs was a walk-off grand slam against Youngstown State on March 12 to secure a 6-2 Bluejay victory in extra innings.
Her career RBI total is currently six shy of the all-time MVC record of 157 that has stood for over 13 seasons. Baker helped CU win its MVC opening series and post a 5-2 record while starting each contest.
Baker hit .429 in those games with eight extra-base hits including five home runs, 10 RBI and posted an amazing slugging percentage of 1.286. The senior leads the Valley in batting average (.419), home runs (11), total bases (71) and slugging percentage (.959). She ranks second in the league in RBI (26) and third in the Valley for on-base percentage (.494).
Changstrom earned recognition from the Valley for the third time in four weeks this season. It marks the fifth career MVC Pitcher of the Week accolade for Changstrom.
Changstrom notched an astonishing 47 strikeouts in five appearances over 30.2 innings of work to register a 4-1 record for Creighton during the week.
In four starts Changstrom hurled four complete games, including a pair of shutouts, leading to a 0.68 ERA. She also came on in relief against Youngstown State to secure an extra-inning win allowing no hits and one walk over two-plus innings while striking out three.
The Lincoln, Neb., native matched her career high of 13 K's on March 15 in a conference-opening win at Evansville. She struck out 10 more Purple Aces in the series finale a day later.
This season Changstrom has notched 10 K's or more on six different occasions including each of her last three outings. The rest of the league owns just four games total with 10 or more strikeouts. No other MVC pitcher can claim more than one such effort in 2013.
For the week, Changstrom allowed only three earned runs and gave up seven walks while holding opposing batters to a .148 average at the plate. The junior leads the Valley in ERA (1.37), strikeouts (125), opposing batting average (.180) and wins (11).
Three Creighton players have started all 25 games and are hitting over .290 in 2013 including Baker (.419), sophomore Liz Dike (.306) and Blair Lowe (.292).
Creighton ranks sixth in the Valley with a .259 batting average. The Jays' 27 home runs and .439 slugging percentage lead the MVC. In the circle, the Jays lead the conference with a 2.06 ERA and 172 strikeouts.
Scouting Northern Iowa (13-16, 3-1 MVC): Northern Iowa comes into the weekend on a two-game win streak after defeating Southern Illinois last weekend in an MVC doubleheader at SIU. Like this weekend, the Panthers were supposed to host the Salukis but weather forced UNI to travel.
UNI swept a pair of one-run contests in Carbondale. The Panthers won a 4-3 marathon in 11 innings in game one before taking the nightcap 2-1 over the Salukis. The third game of the series was canceled.
Northern Iowa opened MVC play on the road at Missouri State where they split a doubleheader with the Bears. UNI won another 4-3 decision, this time in nine innings over MSU, in game one. The Bears claimed game two 8-2 over the Panthers.
The Panthers are 1-7 in true road games this year. If you add in the two wins at SIU where UNI was the designated home team the Panthers are 3-7. UNI is also 8-6 in neutral site games to account for an 11-13 record away from Cedar Falls.
Northern Iowa was picked third in the preseason coaches' poll this year, just two points ahead of Creighton. The Panthers captured the 2012 MVC regular-season title with a 21-5 record in league play.
Reigning MVC Pitcher of the Year Jamie Fisher leads UNI again this season. Fisher finished 20-4 last year and earned First Team All-MVC honors after posting a 1.33 ERA to rank first in the conference.
In 2013 Fisher is 10-8 overall with a 2.36 ERA in the circle. She boasts 18 starts that include 15 complete games this season. UNI's other three pitchers on the staff each have at least three starts this season. Ellie Doughty is second on the staff with a 4.05 ERA and a 2-4 record.
At the plate UNI is hitting .237 as a team. Four regular Panther starters are hitting .290 or better at the plate in 2013 including Kristin Lock (.313), Caitlin Wnek (.300), Nicole Fisher (.292) and Micalla Rettinger (.290).
Head Coach: The winningest coach in Creighton athletics history, Brent Vigness is in his 20th season at the helm of one of the most successful programs in the Midwest and Missouri Valley Conference (MVC). He carries a 622-437-3 record in 19-plus seasons at Creighton and boasts a 770-508-4 overall record with five years at Assumption College prior to beginning at CU.
A three-time MVC Coach of the Year, he has led the Bluejays to six MVC regular-season titles (1998-2000, 2007-09), six Valley tournament titles (1999, 2003-05, 2007, 2010) and seven NCAA regional appearances (1999, 2003-05, 2007-08, 2010). He claimed MVC Coach of the Year honors in 1998 and guided the MVC Coaching Staffs of the Year in 2007 and 2008.
Vigness coached his 1,000th game at Creighton and recorded his 600th win at CU in 2012.
Creighton-Northern Iowa Series: Creighton leads the all-time series with UNI 50-17. The Panthers swept a doubleheader in Omaha in 2012 to win the season series for the first time in 12 seasons.
Last season UNI edged CU 5-4 on April 14 in a game halted by lightning and resumed the following day. The Panthers later claimed the second game 15-3.
With the victories in 2012, Northern Iowa has claimed the last three games in the series, matching its longest win streak against Creighton. UNI also won three straight contests from 1996 through 1998.
Creighton won the first 14 games in the series that began April 11, 1984. Twelve of those wins came prior to Northern Iowa's entrance into the MVC. UNI captured its first win in the series on April 12, 1994 with a 5-3 decision. More recently Creighton claimed 12 straight contests from 2007 through 2010.
Battle in the Top of the Valley Standings: Entering the weekend, Creighton and Northern Iowa are tied in the loss column at one and trail an undefeated Drake squad atop the conference standings.
As a result, the winner of the series will claim second-place outright and may have a chance at moving to the top of the conference standings depending on Drake's results in a series at Missouri State this weekend.
Home Opener History: This weekend's series versus UNI serves as the Bluejays home opener, despite CU being designated as the away team in each game after the series was moved from Cedar Falls earlier this week.
The Bluejays' scheduled home opener against Illinois State slated for last weekend was postponed due to inclement weather. The Redbirds will visit Omaha for a doubleheader on April 22. Last season's scheduled home opener against Iowa State was rained out.
Creighton has won six consecutive home openers. The Bluejays are 7-1 in their last eight home openers. CU has swept home-opening doubleheaders in each of the previous three seasons, topping South Dakota last season after sweeping Bradley in 2011 and Indiana State in 2010.
CU was 11-5 at home last year, its best record at the CU Sports Complex since 2008.
Schedule Changes: Heading into this weekend, the last seven games on the CU schedule were either postponed or cancelled due to inclement weather. The Bluejays last played on March 16 at Evansville, claiming a series-winning 6-4 victory.
Creighton had five games postponed or cancelled last week due to inclement weather. A road doubleheader at South Dakota slated for March 20 was postponed with a make-up date yet to be determined.
The Jays' home-opening series against Illinois State scheduled for last weekend was also altered. The Bluejays will now host the Redbirds for a doubleheader on April 22 beginning at noon CT at the CU Sports Complex. The third game of the Illinois State series was not rescheduled.
As a result of the new doubleheader date, the single game between Creighton and Drake slated for 6 p.m. April 23 in Des Moines was pushed back one week to April 30 when the Bluejays will visit the Bulldogs at 6 p.m.
More recently Creighton's doubleheader originally slated for March 26 at No. 7 Missouri was cancelled.
Old Man Winter Causes Cancellation of MVC Home Opener: With the cancellation of one of the scheduled Illinois State games from last weekend, it marks the eighth straight season that weather has caused Creighton to miss at least one Valley contest. The last time the Bluejays played a complete league schedule was in 2005.
Baker Writes Recipe for Record-Setting Success in 2013: Senior Amy Baker's next home run will give the four-year starter the Missouri Valley Conference home run record outright with a total of 53.
Two weeks ago Baker belted career home run No. 52 to spark a come-from-behind victory at Evansville and tie the MVC career home run record held by Abby Olson of Illinois State since 2011.
MVC Career Home Runs
T1. 52 Amy Baker, CU (2010-pres.)
T1. 52 Abby Olson, ILS (2008-2011)
3. 50 Renae Sinkler, CU (2007-10)
4. 47 Amber Smith, ILS (2006-09)
Her career RBI total is now just six shy of the all-time MVC record of 157 held by Illinois State's Heather Stella that has stood for over 13 seasons.
MVC Career RBI
1. 157 Heather Stella, ILS (1996-99)
2. 151 Amy Baker, CU (2010-pres.)
3. 150 Amber Smith, ILS (2006-09)
4. 146 Renae Sinkler, CU (2007-10)
5. 145 Jessica Huff, UE (1998-01)
6. 144 Abby Johnson, CU (2002-05)
In 2013, Baker has already set Creighton career marks in home runs (52) and runs batted in (151).
Baker Climbs to the Top of CU Career Record Books: Earlier this month senior Amy Baker claimed the top spot in the all-time Creighton record books for home runs and runs batted in.
The senior's career total of 52 homers surpassed the previous top mark of 50 set by current assistant coach Renae Sinkler in 2010. Baker has tied the Missouri Valley Conference mark.
With 151 career runs batted in, Baker recently moved past both of her assistant coaches in the rankings Abby Johnson (144) and Sinkler (146) to claim the top spot.
Baker is also among the Creighton career top 10 for batting average, total bases and walks. The Omaha native's .419 batting average this season would currently rank third all-time for a single-season mark in program history.
Baker leads the Valley in batting average, home runs (11), total bases (71) and slugging percentage (.959).
Give the Bluejays a Lead and You May Not Get it Back: Creighton is undefeated this season when leading after the first (6-0), third (7-0), fourth (10-0), fifth (9-0) and sixth (10-0) innings.
The Bluejays are also 7-1 when up after two innings.
Creighton's Magic Numbers:
· Creighton is undefeated at 12-0 this season when allowing opponents fewer than three runs.
· The Bluejays are also 12-0 when scoring four or more runs on offense in 2013.
· CU is 13-1 when scoring first this season
· Creighton is 14-1 when posting more hits than its foes this year.
Changstrom Claims Two MVC Honors in One Week: Creighton softball junior Becca Changstrom earned MVC Scholar-Athlete of the Week honors for the second time this season on March 20, following MVC Pitcher of the Week honors awarded two days earlier, after recording a 4-1 record and 47 strikeouts in five appearances last week.
The award marks Changstrom's second career MVC Scholar-Athlete of the Week honor. She also she claimed the honor March 6 after a solid weekend at the UT Arlington Maverick Invitational. Creighton players won just one scholar-athlete award in 2012.
On March 18, Changstrom earned recognition from the Valley as the MVC Pitcher of the Week for the third time in a month.
The junior right-hander notched an astonishing 47 strikeouts in five appearances over 30.2 innings of work to register a 4-1 record for Creighton during the week.
In four starts Changstrom hurled four complete games, including a pair of shutouts, leading to a 0.68 ERA. She also came on in relief against Youngstown State to secure an extra-inning win allowing no hits and one walk over two-plus innings while striking out three.
The Lincoln, Neb., native matched her career high of 13 K's on March 15 in a conference-opening win at Evansville. She struck out 10 more Purple Aces in the series finale a day later.
This season Changstrom has notched 10 K's or more on six different occasions including each of her last three outings. The rest of the league's pitchers own just four games total with 10 or more strikeouts. No other MVC pitcher can claim more than one such effort in 2013.
For the week, Changstrom allowed only three earned runs and gave up seven walks while holding opposing batters to a .148 average at the plate. She leads the Valley in ERA (1.37), strikeouts (125), opposing batting average (.180) and wins (11).
A chemistry major, Changstrom currently carries a 3.846 GPA.
Baker Caps Off Record-Setting Week with MVC Player of the Week Honors: Creighton senior Amy Baker collected MVC Player of the Week honors on March 18 after a record-setting week.
Baker's award is her first of the season and seventh of her career after capturing a pair of weekly honors in each of the past three seasons.
The Omaha native capped off a record-setting week by blasting career home run No. 52 to spark a come-from-behind victory at Evansville Saturday and tie the MVC career home run record.
Earlier in the week Baker set Creighton career marks in home runs (52) and runs batted in (151). One of those home runs was a walk-off grand slam against Youngstown State on March 12 to secure a 6-2 Bluejay victory in extra innings.
Her career RBI total is currently six shy of the all-time MVC record of 157 that has stood for over 13 seasons. Baker helped CU win its MVC opening series and post a 5-2 record during the week while starting each contest.
Baker hit .429 in those games with eight extra-base hits including five home runs, 10 RBI and an amazing slugging percentage of 1.286. The senior leads the Valley in home runs (11), RBI (26), total bases (71) and slugging percentage (.959). She ranks second in the league in batting average (.419), hits (31) and on-base percentage (.494).
Walk It Off in Grand Style: Amy Baker's walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the eighth inning against Youngstown State on March 12 secured a 6-2 win and marked the 16th time a CU player hit a walk-off blast since 2001.
The slam also marked the third straight season with a walk-off home run. In 2012
Alexis Cantu's three-run walk-off home run in the bottom of the eighth inning vs. Missouri State on May 6 beat the Bears, 5-4.
Cantu's first career walk-off homer was the first by any Bluejay since Sammy Snygg posted one against Bradley on April 2, 2011.
Stacey Rybar is the last Bluejay with two walk-off homers in the same season (2002), and also the last Bluejay with a walk-off homer in the MVC Tournament (May 10, 2002 vs. UNI).
Here's a list of Creighton's walk-off home runs since 1999:
Inn. Player vs. Opponent Date
8 Amy Baker vs. Youngstown State 3/12/13
8 Alexis Cantu vs. Missouri State 5/6/12

#CU hit as home team in away game
Homer Cooking: After not hitting a home run in the first two games of 2013, Creighton jacked at least one ball over the fence 10 consecutive contests before the streak was halted last week at UT Arlington for three games.
Since the UTA tournament in early March, Creighton has drilled a home run in nine of its last 10 contests, including each of the last seven.
As a result, CU leads the Valley with 27 homers this season. The Bluejays rank No. 26 nationally with 1.08 home runs per game in the latest NCAA statistical rankings released March 24.
Five Bluejays have hit multiple home runs this season led by Amy Baker's league-leading total of 11. Joining Baker with more than one homer in 2013 is sophomore Bri Lingl (6), freshman Blake Ringle (4), sophomore Liz Dike (2) and junior Alexis Cantu (2).
Senior Sammy Snygg also rifled a shot over the wall versus then-No. 14Florida in Creighton's opening weekend.
Freshman Kelsey Allender hit her first career home run of an inside-the-park variety against Grambling State Feb. 24. Allender's inside-the-park home run is the first since Dike scored two of them last season, the last against Wichita State on April 7, 2012.
Creighton against Current NFCA Top-25 Squads: The Bluejays are 2-1 this season against teams currently ranked in the latest USA Today/NFCA Top 25 poll released March 26.
This week's No. 3 Florida squad defeated Creighton 13-3 on February 8 at the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Ariz. Later that same day the Bluejays toppled Oregon State, this week's No. 23 squad, 5-3.
Creighton also owns a 4-3 win in eight innings over this week's No. 19 team, Tulsa, at the UTA Maverick Invitational on March 2.
Creighton NCAA Rankings this Week: Creighton ranks No. 26 in the country at 1.08 home runs per game in the latest NCAA weekly statistical rankings released March 24.
The Bluejays stand at No. 41 nationally with an earned run average of 2.06. The team's slugging percentage of .436 ranks No. 76 in the NCAA.
Individually, senior Amy Baker ranks among the nation's top 10 in two categories. She ranks No. 8 in the country with a .959 slugging percentage this season and stands No. 9 nationally with a 0.44 home runs per game average.
Baker's home run total of 11 is tied for No. 16 in the country this week.
Junior Becca Changstrom's five shutout victories this season is tied for No. 13 nationally. Her 9.0 strikeouts per seven inning average stands at No. 24 in the NCAA rankings this week.
Evansville Series Recap: Creighton senior Amy Baker capped off a record-setting week by blasting career home run No. 52 to spark a come-from-behind victory at Evansville Saturday and tie the MVC career home run record.
CU junior Becca Changstrom matched her career high of 13 K's on Friday night in a conference-opening win at Evansville. She struck out 10 Purple Aces in the series finale a day later.
The Bluejays opened the MVC season at 2-1 on the road for the third consecutive season. Creighton also went 2-1 at Evansville to begin the 2011 conference slate before the Jays earned a 2-1 split at Bradley last season.
Rebel Spring Games Recap: The Bluejays went 6-2 at the 2013 Rebel Spring Games March 9-13. The wins increased Creighton's all-time record at the tourney to 49-9 (.845) in six appearances at the Florida tourney all under current head coach Brent Vigness.
The Bluejays shut out five opponents (Saint Francis (PA), North Dakota, Butler, Fairleigh Dickinson and Army) over the four-day span. The exception was a 6-2 victory over Youngstown State in eight innings after a walk-off grand slam from senior Amy Baker.
One CU loss was a no-hit 5-0 defeat at the hands of Eastern Illinois on March 10. Three days later Creighton dropped a 3-1 decision to Robert Morris.
Fantastic February Finishes: Creighton finished the month of February with a 5-4 record. It marks the seventh straight season that head coach Brent Vigness has directed the Bluejays to a winning record in the first month of the season.
The Bluejays are 46-24 in February spanning those seven seasons to the beginning of 2007. CU's 5-4 mark this season is the same record the Jays had in 2010 – the year of the program's last NCAA Tournament appearance.
Central Arkansas Tournament Recap: The Bluejays went 3-1 at the Central Arkansas Tournament in Conway, Ark., to improve to 5-4 this season. CU's only loss was to host UCA in its first true road game this season. Creighton outscored opponents 35-16 last weekend. The Bluejays hit .353 as a team over the four games while holding opponents to a .271 average.
The Bluejays are 8-1 all-time at tournaments hosted by Central Arkansas. Creighton went undefeated in five games at the UCA Spring Clash to open the 2007 campaign. The Jays are now 2-1 all-time against UCA with two wins in the 2007 tourney.
Kajikawa Classic Recap: Creighton opened 2013 at the Kajikawa Classic Feb. 7-9 with wins over New Mexico and Oregon State, leading to a 2-3 record. The Bluejays are 5-6 all-time at the Kajikawa Classic following a 3-3 ledger at Tempe in 2010.
Déjà Vu vs. OSU: Creighton's win over Oregon State on Feb. 8, marked the Jays' second-straight victory over the Beavers by the same score (5-3) in the same tournament (Kajikawa Classic) at the same location (Tempe, Ariz.), three years apart. CU is now 2-2 against the Pac-12 foe and head coach Brent Vigness is 2-1 versus OSU.
Telecky on Top against Oregon State: Brittany Telecky won her first start of the season in a 5-3 victory over Oregon State. The junior pitched 6 innings against OSU allowing just three runs on eight hits. She also came in as a relief pitcher against San Diego State for two innings, allowing no hits or runs and just one walk.
Season-Opening Salvo: The Bluejays' season-opening win over New Mexico was Creighton's third-straight victory to begin a season following opening-day wins in 2011 and 2012.
CU's first-game win streak matches the longest in program history when the Jays previously won three consecutive openers from 2006-08 and 1998-2000. All three streaks were under the direction of current head coach Brent Vigness.
Creighton is 19-18 overall in season-opening contests including an 11-9 record under head coach Brent Vigness.
Preseason Predictions: The Creighton softball team placed four players on the 2013 preseason all-conference team as the league's coaches picked the Bluejays to finish fourth in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC), the league office announced Jan. 23.
The fourth-place prediction is the highest preseason ranking for the Bluejays since 2010 when they were picked to win the Valley. Creighton has finished lower than fourth in the MVC regular season standings just three times in the past 16 seasons.
Senior catcher Amy Baker earned the second All-MVC preseason selection of her career to go with a nod from 2011 during her sophomore campaign. Additionally, three juniors claimed their first preseason honors in designated player and pitcher Alexis Cantu, pitcher Becca Changstrom and outfielder Ellen Homan. All four of the CU honorees earned All-MVC accolades after last season.
The four CU player selections match Southern Illinois for the most on the 2013 preseason squad. Additionally, the four players on the preseason all-conference team are the most for any Creighton squad dating back to 2004 when three Jays earned All-MVC preseason honors and current assistant Abby Johnson collected honorable mention recognition.
Recapping 2012: The Bluejays return 11 players from last season's team that compiled a 28-25-1 overall record and finished fifth in the MVC at 15-11. Creighton finished last season with a school-record 294 runs. CU led the MVC with a .292 batting average, 56 homers, 275 RBI and a .464 slugging percentage. The Jays ranked in the NCAA top-30 in scoring (No. 20), home runs per game (No. 22) and slugging percentage (No. 27) in 2012.

My name is Jodie, I am 33 years of age. I have recently aquired a sewing machine from my second cousin. I have played with it some and its not as intimidating as it looks :)
Most people don't think I would be good at sewing with or without a sewing machine since I am legally blind and VERY nearsighted. In fact I scared most people when I took up cross stitching. Since I took up cross stitching I have fallen in love with sewing in general. I am trying to learn all I can but not being able to read regular print books I am somewhat at a disavantage of learning.
Thus my reason for joining this forum. I would love to learn to quilt and other stitching crafts and would love peoples help.
My reason for learning to quilt is this, there is a local charity that gives families of children in long term treatment at hospitals nearby a place to stay while their children are in treatment. I would love to create quilts for the families to either take home or to leave and pass on to another family. I also would love to make a quilt for the children in the hospital themselves. Currently a group of people in my apartment complex and I are making winter hats for the same charity.
I look forward to making friends here. and of course learning all I can.
A Beginner sewer with a true desire to learn.
Welcome Jodie! What an inspirational story! Glad to have you here!
-Cheryl / Muppin
my website
my blog
I am inspired by your love of learning. I have quilted for 30 years and still make simple quilts. I am now disabled and have trouble with the detailed quilts so now I take classes to learn more. I am hoping to learn through these types of blogs. Keep moving on and good luck.
to both of you who posted thanks for the responses. I haven't gone very far on my sewing and quilting journey. I have been loom knitting different projects and am still trying to figure out what fabrics I want to start a quilt with. I also need to get up a supply of fabric.
Jodie, at least you got a welcome. I am new here too, but no one has responded to me yet and I can't seem to get into the forums, it just won't let me. I was lucky to get this shout out, out!

- Boogaard's funeral is tentatively scheduled for Saturday at the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Depot in Regina, Saskatchewan. Click here for more details.
- Boogaard's family has decided to donate his brain to science.
The thing with professional athletes is that millions of
people know who they are, but only a select few know what they're all about.
Derek Boogaard wasn't the best skater or scorer in the NHL,
he was best known for being one of the most feared fighters in recent memory.
But his job in the NHL is not at all reflective of "The
Boogeyman" as a person. Those who knew
him best -- friends, family, and teammates -- have had glowing things to say
about Boogaard's personality and heart since his passing, things millions of
fans so often overlook.
His sudden death at age 28 is nothing short of a tragedy,
and its impact has been far-reaching since the news broke late last night. He will be sorely missed by the hockey
community and it's very clear that throughout his life Boogaard made the world
a better place.
Here are some reactions from around the hockey world:
"Fun conversations with D Boogaard last year about his time
in Russia
with Datsyuk, working on his other skills, how much he enjoyed it. RIP." –
Darren Pang
"His No. 24 jersey and T-shirt were always among the most
popular jerseys," said Wild vice president Bill Robertson said.
"He did so much in the community. He had time for everyone. He had time
for the fans, time for the sponsors, time for the media. He liked working with
kids." – Kevin Allen
NHL.com video tribute >
Statement from Wild owner Craig Leipold:
"The entire
Minnesota Wild family and hockey world was saddened to learn of the passing of
Derek Boogaard. Derek was certainly one of the most popular players in Wild
history with the fans and was a great community representative. He brought an
exuberant smile to the rink every day and gave his all every night on the ice.
A number of thoughts go through my mind as I think of Derek. One is the first
time I met him in early 2008. I was well aware of Derek's reputation as a tough
guy. He was in the locker room in dress clothes, glasses and hair combed. I
thought he was an investment banker. He introduced himself to me and we had a
brief conversation. I didn't want to bother him because he was busy signing
autographs. This was something, I came to learn, he did a lot of. Second, Derek would never fight someone who wasn't in his "class". He never
wanted to hurt anybody. He had too much respect for the game, and the players
had total respect for him. Lastly, I received a phone call last night at 1:00 a.m. from my son, Connor,
who is a freshman in college. Connor interned for the Wild last year, and his
favorite person (not just player) was Derek. You could hear in his voice just
how affected he was, since he had just learned of Derek's passing. He had a lot
of questions, and I had no answers."
"It was devastating news. I played with Boogey for a long
time in Minny and then in New York.
He was a great guy. We got along together great. We helped each other out on
the ice and off the ice. We were very close. I tried to help him along in New York, and we had a
very good relationship. It's just very sad. We had a lot of good times
together. He was a really easy going guy, really caring. We talked pretty much
about everything. He's just the type guy who would be there for you whenever
you needed him." – Marian Gaborik (via BlueshirtsUnited)
Boogaard working with The Garden Of Dreams Foundation >
"At a loss for words. I'll miss my roomy Derek Boogaard..
You will be missed by everyone. Great friend and teammate" – Brandon Prust
"Niklas Backstrom on Derek Boogaard: "Unreal guy. Just
a really big teddy bear. Outside the rink, he didn't want bad for anyone."
– Michael Russo
"I don't know where I'm going to go with this blog to be
honest. In fact, my cursor has been flickering in this spot for about three
hours, it's 3 a.m. and I'm still sickened.
Even as I start typing now, my eyes are watering. So maybe
that's my answer.
I'm supposed to be a professional, but I'm also human. In my
role, you cover players professionally, but you get to know them
Like many of you, I was floored and saddened by tonight's
tragic news. " – Michael Russo
More player and fan reaction at Puck Daddy >
Via the Rangers' press release:
Throughout his career, Boogaard sought to make a difference
in the communities he played in, taking part in numerous charitable
endeavors. Boogaard was a supporter of the Defending the Blue Line
Foundation, a non-profit charitable foundation whose mission is to ensure that
children of military members are afforded every opportunity to participate in
the great sport of hockey.
While with the Rangers, he created "Boogaard's
Booguardians," hosting military members and their families at all New York
Ranger home games. In addition, he made multiple appearances with partner
organizations of the Garden of Dreams Foundation, the non-profit charity that works
closely with all areas of Madison Square Garden,
including the New York Knicks, Rangers, Liberty,
MSG Media, MSG Entertainment and Fuse "to make dreams come true for kids facing
"I had the pleasure of becoming good friends with Boogey,"
Callahan said. "The biggest thing you realize, I think, is really how good a
guy he is off the ice. You've heard it said, a gentle giant. You see what he
does on the ice and you realize what a caring, kind person he was off the ice."
– Ryan Callahan (via Andrew Gross)
"You're trying to wrap your head around what the hell
happened," Boyle said. "I have to come to grips with the fact that a great
friend is gone. He's a guy you have to have the utmost respect for as a hockey
player. He really put himself on the line for the team. The way we look at it,
the way I see it, as a person, as a human being, I was just bless for the short
time I got to know Derek. I got to become friends with him and see what a big
heart he has. The people who don't know Derek think he might be into pain. That's
not true. He was a guy who listens, if you have an issue off the ice or on the
ice. We had a good rapport." - Brian
Boyle (via Andrew Gross)

"hicken15May 14,

Thank you for this blog entry. It's because of professionals like you that fans
like me feel like we know the players.My favorite memory of Boogaard is the
video that was put together of him and Alex Frolov taking a group of kids in
New York to a Build-a-Bear store for a Garden of Dreams Foundation event this
season. It was one of the sweetest things I have ever seen to see the Boogeyman
holding the hand of a little girl as they entered the store, and to see him
taking part in the little song and dance for the kids. Here's a link to the
video: http://video.rangers.nhl.com/videocenter/console?c
atid=0&id=80918There's another version of the video out there that was
shown on MSG before a Rangers game, and in that video is a little exchange
Derek had with one of the kids. The kid asked him who he was, and when Derek
explained he played for the Rangers the kid said something on the order of
"I know you. You score a lot of goals." A hint of a smile formed on
Derek's lips and he didn't miss a beat as he simply stated, "No. That's
not me."My thoughts and prayers are with the Boogaard family, and to all
the friends left behind"

With several consecutive days of dry weather, firefighters have been called to a series of outdoor fires that spread quickly and proved difficult to control.
A camper caught fire Saturday in Harrisville and caused about two acres to burn, and later in the day another blaze broke out in the town of Fine. Causes have not been determined.
On Friday afternoon in Adams Center, a not fully extinguished campfire caused about five acres to go up in smoke at 13949 Route 11. The night before, a marsh full of cattails burned in Goose Bay, Alexandria, after someone was suspected of burning trash in a barrel, fire officials said. About 10 acres burned Wednesday in another outdoor fire in the town of Theresa.
No one was hurt in any of the recent fires. Other than the camper, no structures have been damaged.
Harrisville First Assistant Fire Chief Christopher W. Weeks said the recent dry weather can cause grass fires or campfires to spread quickly. A state burn ban is in effect until May 15, he said.
On Saturday afternoon, firefighters from three departments spent about 2� hours putting out the fire sparked by the camper off South Bonaparte Road. Lewis County fire investigators are looking into the cause.
We just got back to the fire station and were called back out to another one in Fine, Chief Weeks said, stressing that people must make sure campfires are fully extinguished.
At the second fire, Harrisville firefighters were put on mutual aid for a bigger blaze that caused about five acres to burn in Fine. The state Department of Environmental Conservation is investigating what caused that one.
Outdoor fires are banned until May 15. Barrel burns and burning of grass, trash or leaves are prohibited, and violators could receive a $1,000 fine for the misdemeanor charge, said Joseph D. Plummer, Jefferson County director of fire and emergency management.
The bigger issue that I have: a fire could ignite and spread to your neighbors house, he said. Their house could go up and youre responsible.
In cases like that, the responsible partys insurance would have to pay for the house, he said.
Of the recent outdoor fires, the biggest one was in Goose Bay, where a bunch of cattails in about 30 acres caught fire Thursday night.
It took about 100 firefighters from eight fire companies to finally put out the blaze before it got closer to nearby homes.
At times, flames reportedly burst 40 feet into the air.

"Everyone here looks like they stepped out of a music video."
-Brenda WalshIn times of turmoil, need, or doubt, we turn to things that give us comfort. Some look to friends and family, some look to faith, but we look to the formidable force that was Beverly Hills 90210. Naturally we were overjoyed when the holidays brought us the show's The Complete First Season. While gorging on those 22 episodes from 1990, we had a thought: Spring 2007 is like so totally currently channeling 90210 season one. Seriously guys!
Our evidence? Note the oversized blazers at Paul Smith paired with little dresses (very Kelly Taylor), the purple, floppy, flower hat worn at Sportmax (a la Donna Martin), or the oversized, layered tees at DKNY with rolled-up short sleeves (Zuckerman all the way). The flowing, floral chiffon dress over electric pink footless tights shown at DVF smacks of the first season and the black-and-white striped Giles dress echoes the dress that Kelly and Brenda both wore to the Spring Dance.
The season's nod to our favorite show is an inspiration-and a relief-after Fall 2006's somber, serious palette. We're so thrilled we could march in a parade, but let's get serious. We're in Beverly Hills, and, in the words of Brandon Walsh, "Nobody's going to march anywhere, except maybe to a sale at Fred Segal." Indeed.

Remove Factory Radio NOTE : To remove the radio, the center dash panel surrounding the radio must be removed. There are three (3) phillips screws that secure this dash panel to the main dash assembly. However, (1) one of the screws is hidden behind the clock. STEP 1 : The clock unsnaps from the dash panel, but requires a very small flat head screwdriver or similar flat tool.

Insert your fingers into the gap and pull firmly to completely remove the clock from the dash panel.

Madison Vineyards Estate Winery and Bed and Breakfast
Editor's Review
A crushed-limestone gravel road leads visitors back from E County 400 outside of Madison to the inn, which stands like a beacon amid acres of grapevines. To be honest, we weren't too sure what to think of the inn from the pictures online. It was built in July 2005, and we worried that it would feel more like a sterile McMansion than a comfortable getaway spot for travelers. But this B&B offers a modern take on the B&B concept, providing chatty conversations with the owners, huge guest rooms that protect privacy and superior breakfasts at the home's kitchen table.Our room, the Bordeaux room, is the biggest ($150/night). The walls are wine red, and the white baseboards are at least 3 inches tall. The desk, TV wardrobe and end tables are painted black. Houseplants and fresh flowers (including some fresh lavender) rest on top of tables and the desk. A sitting area with a love seat gave us plenty of space to relax. The room also has a closet and a full-length mirror, and the bathroom has ceramic tile floors. Cellular shades hang on the windows, but we didn't need them -- the view is vineyards and farmland as far as you can see. Our room has six windows, plus another in the bath, and we left the windows open to soak in the cool spring air.Travelers who prefer Victorian-style B&Bs will probably not warm to this simple, sparsely decorated B&B, but it suit us just fine. And we loved the carefully carved fruit basket served with a yogurt-cream cheese dip before a hearty breakfast of an egg/asparagus dish and thick-sliced bacon. From $120.

I once participated in a twenty-three-day wilderness program in the mountains of Colorado. If the purpose of this course was to expose students to dangerous lightning and half the world's mosquitoes, it was fulfilled on the first day. What was in essence a forced march through hundreds of miles of backcountry culminated in a ritual known as "the solo," where we were finally permitted to rest—alone, on the outskirts of a gorgeous alpine lake—for three days of fasting and contemplation.
I had just turned sixteen, and this was my first taste of true solitude since exiting my mother's womb. It proved a sufficient provocation. After a long nap and a glance at the icy waters of the lake, the promising young man I imagined myself to be was quickly cut down by loneliness and boredom. I filled the pages of my journal not with the insights of a budding naturalist, philosopher, or mystic but with a list of the foods on which I intended to gorge myself the instant I returned to civilization. Judging from the state of my consciousness at the time, millions of years of hominid evolution had produced nothing more transcendent than a craving for a cheeseburger and a chocolate milkshake.
I found the experience of sitting undisturbed for three days amid pristine breezes and starlight, with nothing to do but contemplate the mystery of my existence, to be a source of perfect misery—for which I could see not so much as a glimmer of my own contribution. My letters home, in their plaintiveness and self-pity, rivaled any written at Shiloh or Gallipoli.

Denne er kjempe god og fin å blande Creatine med. Smaker godt og går lett ned, litt tykk konsistens, men det er egentlig bare greit! Jeg blander den med melk, selv om det står at den skal blandes med vann, mest fordi jeg har godt av litt ekstra melk, men også fordi jeg synes det smaker bedre da. Har bestilt to til, de er veldig billige her og anbefales på det sterkeste. Du holder deg mett like lenge som et vanlig måltid og er deilig rett etter trening når du ikke orker noe fast.
Not sure about this ...

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I had big expectations about this and was so excited when I received it. I was mixing it with water and was looking forward to taste it. It was not good at all. It tasted weird - artificial taste. I thought it would be thick, but it wasn't. I will try to mix it with some plantmilk or something. Maybe I will edit this review when I've tasted this with some milk. Edit: I've tried to mix this with some soymilk and that was so delicious. It was creamy and thick. I will never try this with water again, that was awful!!! I will absolutely recommend to mix this with milk, you will not regret!

This is the best proteinshake i have ever tried. The chocolate taste is so good! Mix one banana, one glass of milk, and one scoop chocolate protein and you'll get the best shake in the world! Yum!! Makes you full for hours. Perfect before and after workout, or even as a healthy dessert (put it in the freezer for about 30 minutes, and you have made yourself a tasty and healthy ice cream!
Meget godt proteinpulver

Houses Of Hockey: Ethan Werek or Oscar Lindberg?
>Lindberg seems to be a faceoff wizard and that is enough for me to sway this deal in the Rangers favor. That and the fact that the Rangers didn't like Werek enough to sign him. Lindberg is playing against men, and stats don't tell the whole story of a player. Just because he had low numbers, while playing limited minutes, doesn't mean he won't be a productive player in the future.

There were 209 active RSVP (Retired Senior Volunteer Program) volunteers in Carbon County in 2001, giving 27,018 hours of their time to the community last year.
Several programs were outlined in the most recent RSVP Newsletter, "The Invitation."
One of these include the new prescription discount cards available to anyone who volunteers through the RSVP program. The organization has teamed up with ScriptSave, a nationally known company. According to the article they felt that this was a great way to show their appreciation to their many volunteers. There is no cost for the card.
The card can be used at a number of outlets in the county.
Carbon County RSVP is also introducing a new program called Cell Phones for Seniors. The program will give cell phones to qualifying Carbon county residents, 55 years or older. Phones will be given to those who are housebound or have to do a lot of traveling. Each phone will be capable of dialing 911 regardless of whether it has paid service or not.
The monthly newsletter is very informative about volunteer opportunities. For all volunteer opportunities people should contact the RSVP office at 637-9118 or email the program at email@example.com for more information. The second quarter newsletter there were several listings including, PAWS, volunteers looking to provide assistance to people with pets. Castleview Hospital is seeking volunteers for their auxiliary program, the family support center needs help in the crisis nursery and volunteers are needed in the homes of people who are terminally ill, providing respite for the caregivers. The Price City library is seeking literacy volunteer tutors, the Helper Mining and Railroad Museum needs help in their gift shop and volunteers can help in the classroom at RUCD head start. Volunteers can transport frail elderly or disabled individuals in the Care-A-Van program and volunteers can always give tours and help in the library at the CEU Museum. Habitat for Humanity needs help to build a home for a family in need and volunteers are being sought to help with activities at the Karl Peterson and East Carbon Senior Centers. Volunteers can also become a mentor for a child and their family spending one evening a month with the child and family engaged in a fun activity.
During this year's Volunteer Recognition Brunch at the Holiday Inn, volunteers were honored for their outstanding efforts during 2001.
Receiving award certificates for the example they set for others at their volunteer stations were Edna Karns, Pat Marinoni, Christina Sanchez, Aldene Thomas, Frank Ularich, Phebe Peterson and Bernice Weber.
Receiving 2001 Outstanding Volunteer medals were Jean Cameron, Marie Sandbeck, and Madge Tomsic. These three ladies put in a combined total of 1,977 hours last year.
Jean Cameron was awarded the Gold Medal of Excellence for giving 774 hours of her time last year to Castleview Hospital's Volunteer Auxiliary.
Marie Sandbeck was awarded the Silver Medal of Excellence for giving 648 hours of her time to the Karl Peterson Senior Center.
Madge Tomsic was awarded the Bronze Medal of Excellence for giving 55 hours to the Helper Mining and Railroad Museum.
A new volunteer station was announced this month. The local Interagency Council is made up of different service agencies in Carbon County, many of which deal with children. The council works to support at-risk youth and their families in ways to assist them to be successful at home, in school and in the community. LIC is currently looking for up to six mentors for two teenage boys, two middle school boys, one elementary boy and a fifth grade girl.
Volunteers can work with one child or multiple children. Anyone interested should call 637-7787 for more information

WOONSOCKET – Losing a family member to illness can leave a person feeling helpless, which hinders the process of coming to terms with that life-changing loss.
But there are ways to take proactive steps toward moving on, which also bring a sense of fighting back.
Noneajean McFarlane found that to be true this fall as she worked to organize a team in Sunday's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk in Roger Williams Park in Providence.
McFarlane, a Times graphic designer, decided to put together a team for the American Cancer Society fundraiser in light of her own losses last spring.
Her father, Andrew McFarlane, died of heart disease in April and then his longtime girlfriend, Ida DiSano, lost a lengthy battle to cancer in May. It was her third bout with the deadly disease, which had started as breast cancer for her years ago.
Because DiSano faced cancer so many times made McFarlane feel like she had to take action against the disease in some way.
"I wanted to do something to remember (DiSano) and help so that somebody else wouldn't have to go through this," McFarlane said.
She remembers how there wasn't much discussion about cancer years ago — the days when patients facing the illness and their families were not so willing to talk about the challenges they faced.
"Nowadays, it is your mom who had it, or your sister," she said. "It affects just about everyone's family in some way."
The successes in fighting cancer have also coined new terms in that effort and people are now described as cancer survivors, cancer-free, or a person living with cancer. There is also greater public awareness to the need to develop new cures and even more effective treatments.
The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk pits individual teams in a fundraising battle to bring in the most donations for the cause and concludes with a 3-mile walk around Roger Williams Park that participants complete at their own pace, according to McFarlane. And while the main focus is to raise money to continue breast cancer research and provide access to information and testing services, the fundraiser also raises awareness.
"It brings people together and gets people focused on trying to find a cure," McFarlane said.
Her team is an example of how that goal can be met. As she recruited team members for Sunday's event, she drew support from her family, friends and co-workers. Among the many donors on her team are at least 15 walkers taking part in Sunday's Making Strides event.
McFarlane's group has sold cupcakes while working toward its goal of raising $1,000 for the walk and has also drawn on the support of other friends and family members to pull in donations to the cause. McFarlane created a webpage on the Making Strides website and received donations from supporters online. Times publisher Mary Lynn Bosiak also gave the team a boost by contributing to the drive 20 percent of the proceeds of the paper's Breast Cancer Awareness page on Oct. 16.
By Wednesday, McFarlane was feeling confident that her team would reach its fundraising goal and was already thinking about next year.
"This just makes you feel you are doing something to help," she said. "Maybe you can help keep someone else from going through this, or just support someone who is. It helps when they see all these people out there supporting them who don't have the illness themselves."

Gee discharged from hospital, recovering from surgery
Tuesday afternoon, Dillon Gee spoke with reporters during a conference call to discuss his injury, surgery and recovery from a blood clot that was in the artery of his right shoulder.
"Right now I feel good. My arm feels good. All the symptoms are gone," Gee said. "That's the positive. It's been a long week for me… Once we found out everything was going to be okay, my thoughts went from very scared to very disappointed."
Gee told reporters that he has experienced occasional numbness in his pitching arm since 2010. The amount of numbness he had on July 8, however, was the worst he had ever felt. The numbness had gone up to his shoulder and doctors could not find a pulse in his arm.
During his surgery on July 13, doctors took a vein from Gee's groin and used it to enlarge his artery, which had narrowed by 96%.
The clot in Gee's artery was non-life threatening, and if it had broken off, it would have traveled no further than his right hand.
Gee was discharged from the hospital yesterday, and could potentially begin throwing in six weeks.
"I really can't do anything," Gee said. "Just kind of try to let that artery heal."
Gee is still hopeful that he could pitch at some point in the 2012 season. He said, however, that he would not jeopardize his career by rushing back to pitch.

Blue Fun
Sink into a soothing bedtime blend of chamomile and lavender.
Banish the end of day bedtime blues with a sleep-starting soak in a mellow blend of chamomile and lavender. Crumble one under running water to make a bubble bath, then sink into the blue waters, covered with fluffy white bubbles and inhale the herbal blend. If you're feeling charitable, share your Blue FUN with the kids. It's just the trick for those crabby little bathers who would rather rock the night away than hit the hay. You can rest assured knowing that after a calming bath with FUN your little sea monster will be nodding off before your eyes (provided that you can stay awake that long yourself).
VeganThis product does not contain animal products of any kind.
Begin by unwrapping FUN from the biodegradable cellophane just as you would an enormous piece of candy. Save the wrapper for when playtimes over. To use as soap or shampoo, pinch off a small bit in your hand (or on a bath pouf) and hop in the tub, lathering from head, shoulders, knees to toes. If you fancy a bubble bath, crumble a small chunk under a warm running tap for mountains of suds.
Big softie: Every roll of fun is made with loads of glycerin which not only makes fluffy mounds of bubbles but also helps keep skin soft and smooth.
Mellow out:Chamomile and lavender are both used in aromatherapy to promote a feeling of calm and relaxation - and really, who doesn't need more of both?
Under the sea: Turn boring bathwater into an exciting ocean by crumbling Blue FUN under running water. Your tub will turn a light turquoise shade of blue.

While the new Windows 7 phone that is set to come out very soon has generated a lot of buzz this might be some buzz that is less popular. It appears as if the only way to get apps for your new Windows 7 phone will be to purchase those apps through the Windows Phone Marketplace. Much like the Apple's App Store for the iPhone there will be only one way to get apps onto the new Windows 7 device.
Also, developers of any new apps for the Windows 7 phone will have to submit their apps to the marketplace where their app will be approved or rejected for inclusion into the Windows Phone Marketplace much like a developer does currently for the iPhone. Microsoft plans to learn from Apple's mistakes however and provide much more transparency into their approval process. This will be welcomed news for programmers as they can get a much better sense for what goes on behind the scenes and what will and will not be approved by the marketplace.
Apps for the new windows phone can be purchased through the device itself or via the Zune desktop client. One cool feature of the Windows 7 phone app's is that once a customer has downloaded an app it can be deleted and downloaded again at a later date as the apps are linked to a customer's Microsoft Live account and not with the phone itself.
All of this news sounds pretty standard as Microsoft is just following the path set forth by Apple. It should be pretty interesting to see what kind of apps the Windows 7 phone has that the iPhone does not. Also, I will be interested to see if Microsoft sticks to their word about providing a more transparent app approval process.

Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
Dr. Evans presented exciting research using MGd, a novel compound which can target the oxidative stress pathways of tumor cells. The fact that all 7 of the relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma patients had at least a partial response to Zevalin/MGd is quite remarkable. This is certainly a promising new drug, and it is only a matter of time before this compound is tested in a variety of other settings. With more mature follow-up, we may have a better idea of the duration of response to the Zevalin/MGd combination. Radioimmunotherapy is being tested as first line therapy for NHL, and it is only a matter of time before radioimmunotherapy with MGd will be tested in that same setting. Radiation therapy is thought to kill cells via oxidative stress, and it would be very interesting to test MGd with ionizing radiation in a clinical trial. Dr. Evans and his colleagues should be commended for this well designed and fascinating research.

Submission Sunseeker Team Building a Two-Passenger Solar-Powered Airplane->
Zothecula writes: Piloted solar flight has been a reality for some time, with even international flights (as made by the Solar Impulse) now possible. Up to this point, such voyages have been a strictly solo affair, however the team originally responsible for the Sunseeker II intends to change this by manufacturing what's billed as the world's first two-seater solar aircraft – a motor glider named the Sunseeker Duo.

WASHINGTON -- The FBI announced Monday the arrests of 150 people and recovery of 105 children involved child prostitution rings in 76 cities across the country.
The sweep, conducted in the past three days, was carried out in partnership with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. It represents the largest such law enforcement action focused on children forced into prostitution.
"Child prostitution remains a persistent threat to children across America," said Ron Hosko, assistant director of the FBI's Criminal Investigative Division. "This operation serves as a reminder that these abhorrent crimes can happen anywhere and that the FBI remains committed to stopping this cycle of victimization and holding the criminals who profit from this exploitation accountable."

Don't get dinged by airport gorillas.
Race wheels put a dent in your wallet, which why it feels like the worst thing on earth when they get dinged in transit to a race. For this reason, Zipp created the SG Dual Wheel Bag in order to provide protection for your wheels in the car or on the plane. And while your wheels physically benefit from this, you'll also gain a peace-of-mind that'll allow you to concentrate on your big event.
In contrast to other bags on the market, Zipp makes sure that this one's not simply a thin sack that holds your wheels. Instead, Zipp's Double Wheelbag features a tough nylon cover, and it also has a layer of high-density foam that cushions the wheels (an important detail if you have 60mm+ carbon rims). Each wheel is cradled inside its own pocket, keeping the wheels separate from each other. There are also a number of small compartments that allow for storage of smaller items and accessories like quick-releases, Co2 cartridges, valve extenders, and extra tubes.
The Zipp SG Dual Wheel Bag is available in a 91x71x25cm size and in the color Black. It also features a removable, padded shoulder strap to ease portage.

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Was initially skeptical about a 125$ wheelbag. However, this thing does not disappoint; well crafted, with embroidery, and numerous pockets. Haven't beaten it up quite yet, but I am satisfied so far.
