Pricey tickets
Last week's game against Arkansas State fell a few thousands tickets short of a sellout and there still are tickets remaining for three of the last four home games, but just try finding a ticket for Saturday night's game with Michigan. There are a few out there, but it's going to cost you.
According to Fansnap.com, a site that accumulates ticket listings from all over the Internet, the cheapest ticket you can buy online for this game is $182.50. That gets you into row 69 of section 110, deep in the southeast corner of Kinnick Stadium. The most expensive ticket out there right now? For $706, you can get seven rows up on the 45-yard line directly behind the Iowa bench.
This game obviously is a hot ticket because it's a marquee opponent and it's homecoming, but it's still hard to figure why it sold out a long, long time ago while games against decent opponents such as Northwestern and Minnesota still have tickets available. I wonder if the fact that it's a night game doesn't have something to do with it.

The Detroit Lions finished their fourth day of training camp on Tuesday, practicing for the first time in full gear.
Lions head coach Jim Schwartz was pleased with how his team performed.
"The thing I liked about it was the first time in pads and it's also probably the hottest day that we've had; humidity is up a little bit, so it was a good day to get through," he said. "It was our longest day on the practice field. I think we were all together two hours and about 14 minutes or so. It was a pretty good day for them.
"I am happy with the pace; there are a lot of things we can clean up, but for the first day in pads, I liked what I saw."
Schwartz noted the competition spike between the offense and the defense.
While Detroit's defense, much maligned a year ago, seems to be adjusting well to the bigger, most physical mantra established by Schwartz and defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham (the first couple of weeks in any NFL training camp is traditionally "owned" by the defense), Detroit's offense showed up as well.
"Watching that nine-on-eight drill and to see the defense stone the offense on one play and then the offense get the better of them the next play, that's good competition," he remarked.
Stafford Continues To Impress
|Lions quarterbacks Daunte Culpepper and Matthew Stafford continue to duel. (Gregory Shamus/getty)
Among those who stood out in pads was, surprise, surprise, rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford. Although he didn't complete a touchdown pass during a goal-line drill (Daunte Culpepper did, however), Stafford's laser-guided missiles throughout the day continued to spark enthusiasm from everyone in attendance, including offensive coordinator -- and the person who will ultimately determine who starts at quarterback -- Scott Linehan.
Linehan has been pleased with the progress of each quarterback, yet commented highly on Stafford, who many both privately and publicly believe is already distancing himself and en route to earn more repetitions with the first-team.
"I don't feel like I'm coaching or talking to a rookie when we work with him," said Linehan after Tuesday's only practice session. "I know you hear of that -- and it's not just talking, saying that's how it is because he was the No. 1 pick and all that stuff.
"He has a very natural feel for the game and understands concepts, he can translate things he's done before to what he is doing now without a lot of repetition. (He's) pretty impressive that way."
Linehan noted that Stafford's Pro-Style roots in both high school and college has helped ease the rookie's transition, negating the need to "coach up" Stafford, or correct any poor mechanics.
Instead, Stafford has simply hit the ground running.
"He shot the ball down the field (in the past), attacked all parts of the field with the passing game and did a great job of running their run game," added Linehan. "I would just go a different direction ... and say it's actually really prepared him for what he's doing."
Despite the praise tossed upon Stafford, Linehan pointed out that it's still early. And despite the team's August 15 exhibition opener looming, there was still much to sort out.
"They're being evaluated on a daily basis, on a period basis, on a situational basis and on how they play," he cautioned.
"As we get deeper into camp, obviously we'll be faced with making that decision and it will all take care of itself. I've always been under the philosophy that the cream always rises to the top. I just think the competition is going to bring out the best in all of them. "

We offer observations on the human condition from a 21 year old mind trapped in an 81 year old body.
America has its "gay moment,"I assume the next will be a "transgender"one.
Some point fingers, some wave hands and some nod heads.
In my youth we dreamed of going to Paris, today youth dreams of going to Wall
Four young men and a single women. No comment.
My mind grows younger as my body grows older.
Facebook furthers the trivialization of life.
In my youth I attended a shul, not a temple. In a shul, all are welcome, in a temple, pass the checks.
I no longer have power meetings. I am powerless.
Ultimately in life I am only responsible to self.
Some place head on arms when laughing. I do not.
There ought to be a law that if one is the only customer in coffee shop, everything is free.
NY Yankees pay for experience. I prefer paying baseball players for results.
I wonder if anyone under 30 knows hand signals for driving a car?

Death blamed on listeria from cheese; wide-scale recall announced
A listeria scare is prompting a 30 state recall of cheese.
One person is dead and several more sick after health officials say they ate the cheese.
Whole Foods Market, Incorporated is recalling Crave Brothers Les Freres cheese. The company is posting signs in its stores to inform customers about the recall.
We've learned the cheese was cut and packaged in clear plastic wrap and sold with Whole Foods Market scale labels.
Listeria can lead to severe illness for women who are pregnant or people who have weakened immune systems.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Sanddunes, Nov 5, 2005.
How the hell did Charlie Villanueva score 48 points?????
Charlie V > Many players taken before him in that draft. He's a baller.
Charlie FREAKING Bell is UNCONCIOUS! The dude is the 3rd PG in Milwaukee, Bucks up 128-106 over Phoenix, Bell has 19 PTS, 13 AST. IN 33 MINUTES! On Sunday he had 18 + 11. 3rd string PG. WOW!
Bucks play a great second game of a back-to-back last night. They were really strong in the second half, beating Indiana. I can't understand starting TJ Ford after Bell has done such a good job recently, but Redd was an absolute monster scoring 39 points. If not for injuries, Terry Stotts would be a Coach of the Year candidate.
..also Bucks set an NBA record with just 2 total turnovers the entire game.
Btw, the Pacers just dropped another game (now a dismal 35-37 w/the 7th seed) and are currently at risk of dropping out of the playoffs if we can get a run out of Philly and Chicago. Philly is a game and a half behind Indiana. Chicago is two and a half games back from the Pacers. How ironic would that be? Jermaine O'Neal claims his team can beat the Pistons with him on it, he returns, and his team proceeds to fall out of the playoff picture. LMAO!
Holy Cow, Mike James is loosing his ferkin mind right now. He's being interviewed by the Toronto media, and he's freaking out. They are on him about his last two bad shooting nights. Seriously, he's insane. He makes Raging Bull Ron Artest look like a thorazine addict. He's doing a Terrel Owens/Mike Tyson bit. Wow. No wonder Joe never re-signed him. The guy is gonzo. I wish I had recorded it! I am who I am, and wherever I play, I'm gunna be an absolute terror on this league for the next 5 years! He tried to talk down Chauncey when they asked him about trying too hard to score, (5 for 25 on Sunday), saying that Chauncey has less pressure on him because his teammates are so good. So does that mean the Raptors are really bad? I mean, we know that, but you don't throw your teammates under the bus if you want to be a leader. All of my Raptors buddies are none too enthused about Mike James right now. Even a layman can tell you he's playing for a contract, not to win. And it's BLATANT. You can definitely see how this guy could rub people the wrong way off the court.
Looks like the Bulls came back on the Pacers tonight.... they were down 17 points with apprx 10 minutes left in the game. Starting to look more like a Bulls matchup in the first round
BTW, this is a nice story about Shaquille O'Neal and his fourth-grade teacher.
NBA Roundup! Zaza Pachulia lead the Hawks over the Heat, absolutely abusing Michael Doleac and scoring 18 points with 8-8 from the FT line. The Hawks doubled their win total from last season. Wayne Simien played 27 minutes for Miami but was unable to put up Jason Maxiell type numbers, showing why the Pistons passed on him. LOL. The Nets beat Philly 91-88, Jacque Vaughan played 38 minutes to help rest JKidd. In THIRTY EIGHT minutes, he had 13 assists, but took ZERO shots. He scored 0 points. In THIRTY EIGHT minutes. But the Nets' reserves are kinda scary. Lamond Murray had a renaissance game scoring 19 and Bostjan Nachbar had 14 off the bench. Wiz beat the Bucks as both Arenas and Redd scored 43 points for their team. Combined, that's more than 81. Maybe they should be MVPs. Clips dropped their second in a row, tonight it was the Grizzbomb. Vin Baker got his first start since January 2004. Hakim Warrick started and played like crap, definitely showing that too many teams passed over Jason Maxiell for these no talent wannabees. As I write this, the Sonics are up 5 on the Kings. Artist and Reef are having bad games. But hey, Shareef Abdur Rahim finally breaks his streak of never getting to the playoffs, so this is all really just gravy right? Btw, Johan Petro and Francisco Garcia are stinking up the joint, further proof that Joe made the right call grabbing JMax were he did. All of those other GMs have no idea who they let slip through their fingers. THE BRAHMA, BABY!
Now this is a funny story.
With Sac blowing out the Spurs tonight they should be up 3 games to 1 now (gave away one in S.A.)... they can't matchup up with Ronnie. Intersting series... Sac looked like they were headed to the lotto before "the trade". Funniest play was watching Brad Miller make a cross over and hang for a shot (got two dollars under his shoes)
Arenas' Press Conference Comments: He said....word for word.... "Hey, this is the LeBron James show, and we are all witnesses." PRICELESS!!!
Separate names with a comma.

Where is the Volt produced? And is the Ampera produced at the same location?
Where is the Volt produced? And is the Ampera produced at the same location?
Hamtramck/Detroit Michigan
GVC founder
2013 bought new. Issues started on day 1, 6 miles out of dealership. 21 visits for repairs + 3 times an engineer from GM came to my workplace, 3 weeks driving with a data logger, 5 weeks at Milford proving grounds for repairs.
2015 GMC Sierra
All Volts, Amperas, and ELRs will come from there for the forseeable future.
Jerry, Fresno, California
2017 Bolt ordered, Orange Sunburst, w/all options,
#536 2011 Crystal Red Volt,
2012 Diamond White Volt, saved from the crusher, gift to my niece.
1975 Cosworth Vega, stored
1988 Formula Fiero, also saved from the crusher, in the midst of restoration.
Accordint to the nutty people on the internet it is built in Detroit, China
As stated previously all global Voltec vehicle assembly is currently in DHAM (Factory that straddles the boarder of Detroit and Hamtramck, Michigan)
Battery assembly is in Brownstown, Michigan
Battery cells currently come from South Korea but cell production will shift to Holland, Michigan later this year.
Gas engine assembly is in Flint, Michigan
Electric motors are sourced from Japan I believe.
The sort of "Transmission" comes from Baltimore, Maryland I believe.
Hidden Content 2017 Volt - Kinetic Blue - Black Cloth - HU3085

Holden is also produced at Hamtramck. It's a beautiful sight to see Volt on the line.
If that is the case, and both Volt and Ampera are built in the same factory, then why is the Ampera body fully painted and the Volt body is only partially painted? Is the assumption that UK and EU would not be dumb enought to accept a partially painted car, but the Americans would?
I believe you are referring to the grey plastic pieces on the Volt? For the Ampera those pieces come to the factory body coloured from the supplier. However the Ampera does has fewer colour options than the Volt (could be one reason).

Chelsea Flower Show features ornaments celebrities have decorated for charity.
A New Zealand company has helped British celebrities including Sir Elton John and Lily Allen break a century-old taboo at the Chelsea Flower Show.
Arts and crafts company Seedling has given 150 garden gnomes for celebrities to decorate and sell in an online charity auction - the first time the garden accessories have been allowed at the show in its 100 years.
The gnomes are among 550 exhibits at the Royal Hospital Chelsea gardens and have been decorated by the likes of Sir Elton, Allen, Joanna Lumley, Dame Maggie Smith, and Jamie Oliver in honour of the show's centenary celebrations.
Seedling founder Phoebe Hayman said she was approached by show organisers, the Royal Horticultural Society, in February to donate the ceramic Colour Me Gnome sets.
"It's really exciting, it's such a traditional event with so much prestige. I think it's great that they are happy not to take themselves too seriously and have a bit of fun with it," she said.
"Gnomes and garden figurines have always been a lot of fun for kids and they have that folklore magic ... they are quite fun whimsical creatures and that's where the connection with us comes through, it's a very antipodean connection to such a big event."
A Horticulture Society spokesman said the New Zealand products had generated a lot of support for its Campaign for School Gardening appeal to create 15 horticultural apprenticeships in the next three years.
"Overall the campaign has been incredibly well received, already the gnomes are collectively fetching over £3000 ($5500)."
Ms Hayman, an Auckland-based mother of two, started Seedling in her laundry in 2007, and now exports its 350-product range throughout Europe, the US, Asia and Australia.
It is not the first time celebrities have been associated with the products, with Jessica Alba and Heidi Klum among fans.

Healthy kitten food will improve skin and coat for your new friend (shed out the old, in with the new) such as MaxCat or NaturalChoice, both available in pet stores. If you are settled on a different kitten food for now, then when you start treating her (at about 4 months) she can try Greenies SmartBites for Healthy Skin and Fur- there are two different flavors. ^_^

Mother of Pearl Sterling Silver Rosary Beads-Italy
This pair of Genuine Mother of Pearl rosary with sterling silver center piece and crucifix are marked on the cross: AN 2 / Italy / Sterling and on the center piece: AN 2 / Sterling. The traditional story of the rosary was that Mary herself appeared to Saint Dominic in the twelfth century. At that time, tradition says she gave him the rosary and promised Dominic that if he spread devotion to the rosary, his religious order would flourish.

TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Deli River Medan
The Hotel Deli River is as lovely and peaceful an oasis as one could ask for, masterfully created amidst the bustle of suburban Medan. With an excellent restaurant, an established touring company, an extensive and beautiful tropical garden, a lovely swimming pool, and a crew of well training staff, the family run Hotel Deli River offers everything you need with a personal touch. The owner, Diana, along with her tour manager Juli, not only provided much assistance to us in planning our itinerary, but Diana even took the time to call us after we had left the hotel, when we were en route with her driver, to ensure that all was going well and answer any other questions we might have.
If you are not looking for a hotel in the heart of the Medan, the Hotel Deli River is highly recommended.

Health insurer Cigna's (CI) fourth-quarter profit jumped 50% to $1.57 a share, beating analyst estimates by 9 cents.
The gain came on expanded enrollment from its $3.8 billion acquisition of HealthSpring early last year and cost controls.
Revenue climbed 40% to $7.62 billion. Wall Street expected $6.79 billion.
Cigna announced results before the market opened, and the beat and upbeat executive comments pushed shares up about 2% early in more than double usual volume.
The company provides managed health care services through HMOs, PPOs and indemnity plans.
Premiums and fees rose 48% to $6.8 billion last year and, although the severe flu season added to costs, its focus on the self-insured market and use of care coordinators kept costs down.
CEO David Cordani said in a statement that "disciplined management of our differentiated businesses continues to drive our growth and positions Cigna well for attractive performance in 2013 and beyond."
Shares were up 2.2% in Thursday afternoon trading.
Cigna stock has ridden up 56% from a July 27 intraday low of 39.01 and was trading at an all-time high. Earlier this month, Cigna paid Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA) $2.2 billion to assume roughly $4 billion in obligations pegged to once-troublesome annuities, reducing Cigna's risk.
Among other large insurers, Aetna (AET) dipped 0.2%. The managed health care provider late last month reported a drop in quarterly earnings as higher health care costs offset a rise in membership.
UnitedHealth Group (UNH), the nation's largest health insurer, slid 0.6%. On Jan. 17 the company reported 11% higher sales last month, at $28.77 billion, boosted partly by its purchase of a Brazilian company. That beat projections. EPS rose 3%, a penny above analyst views as it reined in costs.
Humana (HUM) and Coventry Health Care (CVH) edged down fractionally, but WellPoint (WLP) rose.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
This psychic hotline is a fraud. They charge very high rates that a qualified medical board certified or legal lawyer would charge, from $13/minute to $40/minute. You then rationalize that if they are this expensive, they must be worth it then since their advertising says "Your Trusted Source for Psychic Advice." So you call and once they start charging, the psychic on the other end spends 1-2 minutes asking you questions, then spending another 30 seconds deliberating before giving you something that anyone can figure out. Months later, none of the predictions the psychics made came true. I tried several of their psychics to get a sense of how real it is. Firstly, all the psychics have various advice so that should already be a big red flag, and next, if you are not satisified with your reading, they don't refund your money contrary to what is advertised on their website. If you look at the about page to their "Our Promise for you Online Psychic Reading on AskNow," it says that they will refund you 10 minutes of the reading if your'e not satisified. [continued below]....
Huge Warning:
If you end up getting billed for $200-$500 for a reading that months later turns out completely inaccurate, customer service will pull the, "Read the fine print: It's for Entertainment Purposes Only" on you.
I call this FRAUD and False Advertising.

Ask Now? You mean Circle of Stars: They'll remind me regularly I was "independently contracted," too. It does not shock me because I worked there. Now on our end? We heard the billing alert loud and clear. Each time anyone would ask what my rate was, I was honest. But Gigi at COS (she contracted the psychics and paid them 20 cents per minute out of the $40 per min you were paying, btw -- with promises to pay more later) has quotas. I recall this was why I left...she'd call me at crazy hrs after a 15 hr shift (at 20 cents a min pay) and want me back on call. She'd want me to keep and maintain AT LEAST a 30 min per call average. She would change the quotas every 5 minutes so no one could ever keep up with them to get paid. When I worked there, it was the only job I could get at the time so I worked my butt off. I tried to keep callers engaged with accurate info, but sometimes the call would cut for no reason = I had to put in EVEN MORE HOURS to get my quotas back up. I think she cut the calls on purpose in order to keep from paying us our bonuses and keep most of the $40 per min for herself. It isn't Ask Now you're mad at; it's the woman who runs the psychic contracting company, Gigi Pontarelli. I Googled and found LOTS of complaints on her. Each time a psychic complains the calls are being cut for no reason, she would say "cut calls are spread out throughout all the readers." BUT WHY ARE CUT CALLS HAPPENING AT ALL? Because she doesn't want to pay you the bonus for performance.
I researched and found out she was part of the PRN scandal and Psychic Network investigations. Her son plays gypsy violin...hmmmm. Are you seeing more clearly now?
Ask Now is probably scamming in general, hard to say. But it's COS that's the real scammers. The psychics she hires - I have experience and am excellent at what I do. But, she NEVER ONCE TESTED ME. SHE ONLY SAID SHE KNEW I WOULD BE JUST GREAT ON THE PHONE. She never did anything to check my ability before putting me on the phones. She did send me an email with pay structure and bonus outlines, and explaining how to keep callers engaged longer by telling them "everything is interconnected." And that I had to promise to do "rituals" or spells/candles for each caller so they would call back. And to instruct each caller to actively light candles and say affirmations so they'd think they were getting more than they paid for. All she wanted me to do was hold the caller on... which I did well, unless she cut my calls.
So what did I do? I QUIT and started working for Keen, independeltly. You can find some good readers there. Oranum is another source. Each person signs up independeltly and handles their calls and readings. They send the free minutes. They do the work. They do not have a Gigi over them, making them scam the callers. I never scammed anyone, but I eventually had to quit because she dropped my once back-to-back calls to almost nothing...all because I refused to hold callers on longer than necessary.

But this week The Washington Post was forced to apologise for one controversial report it carried claiming Western intelligence agencies had information that Indonesia's top general, Endriartono Sutarto, discussed the ambush before it occurred.
Ms Spier went to the Australian embassy in Washington this week to try to clarify these murky and conflicting claims about this intelligence information. Australian sources familiar with the case say there is no conclusive intelligence about the attack and any intercepted intelligence would automatically be given to the US.
But there are serious indications that the local TNI was involved and its superiors in Jakarta must know that.
Ms Spier pushes no theories on the attack that took her husband's life. She avoids requests for media interviews and public comments, for fear of undermining the delicate FBI investigation that is continuing. But sitting in her no-frills hotel near Capitol Hill, Ms Spier did want to record her deep gratitude to the doctors and nurses at the Townsville hospital who treated her and the other Freeport victims when they were first flown out of Papua.
"I would not be doing as well as I am without them," she says. "I can't tell you how great they were. The nurses would even come in their days off to see how we were all going."
The victims were all attached to the international school contracted to the American Freeport mining company in Papua. The school's principal, Ted Burgon, died next to Ms Spier's husband, Rick. The other survivors of the attack, some badly disabled, do not have the psychological or emotional strength to press their cases in the corridors of power. Despite deep scars on her body and her psyche, Ms Spier is reaching into the reserves of her courage to lobby in Washington. "I can't let this happen to someone else," she says.
And her efforts, helped by Mr Burgon's two sons, are causing major ructions in the capital. The case has become the biggest impediment to any resumption of military aid between Indonesia and the US, including counter-terrorism aid. Given Australia's desire to see that aid reinstated, the Timika attacks are a problem for the Howard Government as well.
To the surprise of the State Department, the three relatives managed to persuade several prominent US senators to try to legally block training funds for the Indonesian military. The limited funds were approved by the White House in the wake of September 11.
In January, Senator Russ Feingold introduced an amendment to withhold some of the funds until there was real progress on the Freeport investigation. Although he failed in this bid, several senators made it clear they wanted much more done in the Freeport investigation.
Republican senator Wayne Allard, from Ms Spier's home state of Colorado, wrote to President George Bush urging tougher action. "If the Indonesian Government fails to act, severe diplomatic actions, including the suspension of IMET (International Military Education and Training) funding for Indonesia should be considered," he wrote.
The White House has said no training funds would be spent until there is a credible result in the Timika investigation. After renewed US pressure, FBI agents made another visit to Indonesia in late January. They are now writing a new report, but whether they have enough evidence to charge individual TNI officers is still unclear.
There are several theories about why the attack took place, but one of the most credible points to an extortion attempt against the US Freeport mining company by local TNI officers, possibly from Kostrad, the Army Strategic Reserve Command. The local military commanders initially tried to blame the Papuan rebel group, the OPM, for the attack and even offered the corpse of an alleged OPM assailant as proof. But the Indonesian police investigation dismissed this.
Indeed, the initial police report on the attack concluded: "There is a strong possibility that the (Timika) case was perpetrated by the members of the Indonesian National Army Force, however, it still needs to be investigated further."
The police report, obtained by The Age, also shows that Indonesian police investigators were threatened, evidence appeared to be planted and the crime scene was interfered with. Also, the report noted that members of the Indonesian army unit at Freeport had their "perks" reduced over stealing from the mine and were upset with the company.
But the investigation was then handed over to the military who did their own inquiries. And in January, army chief General Sutarto was quoted in the Jakarta Post saying, "we have found no evidence of military involvement" in the shootings.
The Freeport-McMoRan mining company has said nothing about several reports that the company was attempting to cut back on the generosity of its security contract with the local TNI who, by law, protect the mine.
There is little doubt that the attack was not aimed specifically at the teachers, who were in Freeport vehicles. Indeed, not long after the attack, the company vice-president and his wife drove past the scene of carnage. They, just as easily, could have been the victims.

Memorial service
In lieu of flowers, people are asked to send donations in memory of Paul Maniaci to benefit search and rescue teams in Teton County, where Paul died, and the Western State College Mountain Search and Rescue Team in Gunnison, where Paul made rescues and trained others how to do so.
Checks should be made payable to the Paul Maniaci Memorial Fund and sent to Wells Fargo Bank, P.O. Box 774888, Steamboat Springs, CO 80477.
A memorial service is March 28 in Gunnison. A time has not been set.
The family of Jessica Maniaci, Paul's wife, is hosting an open house from 5 to 8 p.m. today and Friday at their home at 48 Maple St. All who want to remember Paul and visit with Jessica are welcome to attend.
Steamboat Springs Paul Maniaci was drawn to the outdoors.
The avid mountain biker, swimmer, rock climber, kayaker and runner became an accomplished adventure racer. As a member of the Western State College Mountain Search and Rescue Team and the husband of Jessica Maniaci, an accomplished Nordic skier, Paul became a great backcountry skier as well.
Late Saturday afternoon, on a southwest-facing slope near the Wind Caves in Darby Canyon, Wyo., Paul, 24, was swept down a ravine by an avalanche and killed while backcountry telemark skiing with his brother, Pete. Jessica skied with the men earlier in the day, but returned to her car before the avalanche.
Paul, a Steamboat Springs teacher, would have turned 25 Sunday.
On Wednesday, Jessica remembered her husband as an avid outdoorsman and teacher, a man who "was perfect and would make sure I knew that." Paul and Jessica were married June 17, 2006, in Steamboat, less than one year after they began dating. Although their engagement was brief, they had known each other for several years. Both attended Western State College in Gunnison.
Reunited when both returned to live in Gunnison in 2005, Jessica remembers learning how Paul was interested in more than a friendship.
"The first time I saw him, I was running and he was biking," she said. "He told a friend, 'I could see myself marrying that girl.'"
There was little Paul set out to accomplish that he didn't achieve. His love of life and of making each day count was a message he passed along to the students he worked with in Steamboat Springs.
As a part-time teacher at the Yampa Valley High School, the county's alternative school, Paul made an impression on colleague Karla Setter and their students.
"He was an eternal optimist," Setter said. "When the students walked in the door, they could absolutely count on him having a smile on his face. He started fresh every day."
Haven Thomas, a junior at the school, wanted Paul's family to know what he meant to her.
"The lessons in life I received from Paul are ones that will impact my life most, helping me become my 'best self,'" Thomas said.
Setter said Paul loved the expression "best self." "He got me saying that from a teacher he worked with in Gunnison. It's something I have applied to my life outside of school."
Paul graduated with honors in 2000 from Air Academy High School in Colorado Springs, but he spent much of his time after graduation in Gunnison, where he graduated from Western State College in 2004 with a degree in education and geology.
Gunnison is mourning his death, said friend and former colleague Jake Jones, faculty adviser for the Western State College Mountain Rescue Team, on which Paul served and eventually became a trainer and leader.
"One of the most profound things here, especially for the rescue team, is that Paul had performed many similar body recoveries as a rescue team member," said Jones, referring to the Teton County Wyoming and Teton County Idaho Search and Rescue teams that recovered Paul's body from the mountains near Jackson Hole, Wyo. "Many team members did those same rescues with Paul. They were the ones who dealt with a grieving family, so I think for the rescue community it is tough. It makes it very personal. : He was a phenomenal individual."
Jessica and Paul recently purchased a building lot in Driggs, Idaho, so they could move near Pete Maniaci and raise their families together.
The area where Paul was killed was an area Paul and Pete had skied before, Jessica said.
Both men were carrying the appropriate avalanche equipment with them Saturday, and Pete, who was able to free himself after being swept down the mountain in the avalanche, found Paul using an avalanche beacon.
But Paul had fractured his C5 vertebrae during the slide, which buried him beneath 4 feet of snow. He had no pulse when Pete found him, and Paul never responded to CPR.
Jessica, who said she would "not change a thing" about her life with Paul, noted that he died doing what he loved most - skiing the Teton backcountry with her, his brother and their dog, Mica.

At AT&T stadium in Dallas the Dallas Cowboys beat the Oakland Raiders 3124. And we've already touched on this one earlier at M&T bank stadium in Baltimore the ravens -- beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 22 to twenty. Pittsburgh is on that cusp of almost being out of the playoff race in the same way that I think the loser of the jets Miami game today.

Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis the seven and four colts host the five and six Tennessee Titans -- elect. -- he knows he's not the only leader on the team if they look to bounce back from a tough loss to Arizona.

The darn thing guys respond well. First -- so off. You know I think I figured you know it's not every one guy that pools of tenth will be it'll -- Angeles.

At what point do you turn the keys over to Josh Freeman you just see what -- can do a before they got to to wait one. They did -- wants you to look good but it was on a short weeks and now it's like you throw all of that out let him get raw -- they've they've paid pretty heavily for right now -- personal I don't know I don't know but it but just in terms of you know to CNBC we could do feel it and it would jump start you know now -- had a few week of practice exactly -- coming -- -- the system who knows but not slippery situation. Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia the six and by the Eagles host the seven of course Arizona Cardinals -- area cardinals head coach.

You -- -- a dog good team a young improving team like the cardinals that's an awful that's an awful I look at that is one of the more exciting games this week in stock and I think that's a pretty important game and -- -- up for -- but we've started to separate themselves a little bit in Arizona is not coming team. 2 bats or 1 o'clock game because I think here's a hopeful of a better fight later in the day that what about stuff thwarted if we keep you know what. The NFL in all the wisdom and infinitely. Posting I know the relation that way too much or go to these things through what's up with the difficultly that we play. FirstEnergy field before and seven Cleveland Browns host the 219 Jacksonville Jaguars you know that means. We go to thanks Erica did beat them. Carolina create three Carolina Panthers host the three and eight Tampa Bay Buccaneers Cam Newton says by the way it's a live shot a minute ago in the coming at the stadium. That's the most dapper guy and it that is a welter of the end -- -- -- tied going to -- looked like a million bucks. Damn it he says this senator not the same complexity they faced -- -- -- Absolutely I mean it's evident you know these guys are playing very confident now. The planning to have someone a book but a good feel good film and you know the quarterback is even playing -- And you only get those type of mixtures of those things that. Team's final confidence you know who knows the skies are always the -- I'll give the Buccaneers credit for a team that I thought was playing to get their coach fired earlier in the season. They seem to be quiet form pretty nicely and gently very well over the last month -- all seducing and -- real Revis could be active today in the -- so it's going to be interesting to see. You know -- we're gonna see in other we're gonna you -- with Steve Smith matchup which should be fun but yeah I just. I I just wonder if the Panthers -- ours were going all in your own opinion is there one of those teams that couldn't lift clean and Jane Wright just again maybe. There AFC counterpoint might beat the colts in -- their we've been inconsistent -- young team. Not quite ready to make that leap but still going to be the -- they've got tough sledding ahead because it is the game not overlooked but they still on the world's twice. So a lot of their seeding is not yet you're sort of determine what you know Tampa has so little Michael animal bit -- -- Donovan McNabb sort of a station on my drive and it was so apropos. Rosalie talked to us so I think they're really started to come from with a guy. MetLife stadium in New Jersey the five and six jets host -- five and six Miami Dolphins Mike Wallace says. The dolphins have to become a tight unit as they enter must win territory really for the rest of the year. Everybody's. Well you know -- quote. You closed right. Want them messes up somebody. I think you have to think we took Mosul and 55 and December it. Kind of things. Everything on who are single moment. -- went with. Most of. Fourteen listed at five and six in a danger which realize this just might like the areas where job like him is just -- -- the seven losses. After Thanksgiving. It's going to be awful tough for that team to be able to fight through that morass to be able to pick up that six. Here's where you've got an interesting battle going -- I think within the jets organization. Geno Smith has the lowest quarterback rating in the NFL this is must win territory. He has not Rex Ryan's guy. He's got -- six. And and yet I don't I honestly don't think that if Rex Ryan wanted to bench geno Smith and bring Matt -- -- I don't think is general manager. Within them with which you for a tries to -- the multiple power for. -- -- -- -- close and -- -- with that idea that the problem is we've seen genome. We pretty good earlier this year I thought I saw the promise of one point going to pay the thing they have to start answering those regression again this is another quarterback you're showing flashes on an average units look worse. How much later how he is starting quarterback in the national football and have three straight games now. With fewer than ten completion. Again I think this is a team that puts incredible defense offered a sober because things were football standpoint it doesn't seem like much of a place to go incubator -- -- group. Needed to keep you did anything. -- talked about seventeen point did you get seventeen points -- game out of that often that should be enough to win you some games. Reliant Stadium with the roof open in Houston at 219 Houston Texans oppose the 83 New England Patriots JJ watt says there is absolutely no doubt. Tom Brady's one of the best ever. He is there's advertising is a great player he's very Smart analysis system very well his great control his players and his team. He knows how to make plays I mean he's a winner and he's he's obviously done a lot of legal analyst championships. I don't think the -- I've just you can hear it you can hear in his voice I can imagine if you're on the -- like fellow analysts work where you you have to. Make the I'll look at -- the obligatory sort of Tom Brady -- -- these comments about what society's very top of the -- -- so drew throws a party like that and I -- -- -- hear it each of these guys voice it's like it's like the same canned answers are being passed around on the -- card for the re -- and we can just that we -- resignation because -- -- do about them you put on the tape and we talked about this before you put on the -- You can see their guys on their team who were still would still -- here. We still hear about it there's there are a lot of guys on their roster or -- -- at this point but there's some guys including watt watched one of them. The guys who still care -- methods it's that it's a competitive group. 2405 games the first is that Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park before and seven Buffalo Bills host the two and nine Atlanta Falcons. Mike Smith says the falcons are looking to improve their record but he's also trying to give some -- that the younger player. All about winning games but we do wanna continue to. Have evaluation process and it's really based on what guys are doing in practice some of these young guys and they perform well practiced from the get an opportunity for. Play in the games. The most disappointing team in the national only for this here. -- -- Atlanta Falcons could be an NFC championship game a year ago a -- one drive from going to the Super Bowl and beat to win nine the next year. Mike Smith that a worry about it value -- his. Forget about evaluating young players they've had some injuries to do with the same time and it's just in big big got off to that slow start and justice -- -- -- -- Washington put enough there there bonuses well there -- neck and neck but I agree and Atlanta as a -- -- Candlestick Park in San Francisco the seven and 440 -- host the five and six think Louis rams. Jeff Fisher says the 49ers team was already gray but they'll be even better -- Smith on the field. We're always welcome and Obama's plane really do well you know what Patrick wasn't in the game you play against -- the first game. So the difference -- solemn. You know agencies. They -- young safety reed really improving. From war he was early in the years. They're six to ten themselves and self defense went very well -- Keep -- demon that. Rams have actually start come -- very nicely the last few weeks of you know the programs are are going to be. A handful for a lot of those teams -- FC west to deal with it should be an interest in the try to disable the clip last year to be honest with that team that could could be San Francisco and in a minute ticket. Be -- your problem for Seattle and they've all losses turning into this exciting player real body was enough you're gonna waste if the ball in his hands -- the team -- if you don't wanna see this time here I also feel like we're not talking about the -- I do community to put it at six spots you know they're they're they're one of those teams that could it. You know. Get hot at the right time they've been their before they have a lot of guys were part of it you know. That one of the Super Bowl last year you you feel like that's a team -- could still put it altogether between now it's the NFC's version of the the ravens that you alluded to earlier it's -- teenager -- a sea of color of the pieces of -- for the -- the country in the event that there -- there and available in the playoffs are always going to be dangerous. Let me by the way make corrections that game is not Ralph Wilson Stadium this is in Toronto. -- for the game is in Toronto today and I just wanted to make sure we get that correct. 425 games Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego five and six chargers host the seven for Cincinnati Bengals. Philip Rivers rivers has been feeling very comfortable running the chargers no huddle offense as of late. You know I I do enjoy the no huddle aspect to it that we that we that we use on occasion alike there's a lot of long time like they'll have would be -- so. The the last time. In the huddle and more time to get that look. Whether you see in more than you would have seen an op. It gives you a little bit of comfort level there -- -- I'm really not sure what to make about it when these teams -- -- the postseason picture I mean do the chargers are one of those five and sixteenth but they wouldn't incident last week and -- really well. And in the Bengals are still up and down I think so much of their fortunes ride on whether or not dole as well -- we're -- general -- goes -- -- -- will be justified -- you. -- -- anybody and everybody in sixth -- -- six it out what amazed that I did catch last week's game a little bit. Antonio Gates is still really good -- -- -- old. But he still -- complacent it's fun to watch Danny would had out there contribute to him in being used as a part of it again it's another really dangerous by the sixteen bit. Still might be a part of this thing a -- of the year. This is the game NBC should reflect in 2% -- night football -- they didn't port 25 today to gain the -- Is -- Arrowhead Stadium that night into Kansas City Chiefs -- than nine into Denver Broncos Alex Smith. Says the chiefs believe they can get some type of revenge on the Broncos this week. I mean obviously in the defeat the question watch a lot of that film. You see in all of these kind of left out there. Plays that we didn't make about yourself and do things we did ourselves -- really really hurt us articulate and all that and a lot of chance for himself. Due to injury coach of the year. Well he's he's he's through November -- -- -- -- -- definitely -- -- he's lost to erupt like I I actually think. I think in cities and win. Today and and we go back to what I was saying before about. I don't always believe that carry over effect right but I think that I think the loss here Sunday night if that is the wrap up active we're gonna know a lot more about the Broncos after today I think in terms of their mental toughness whether or not they can bounce back and Gordon situationally. They're gonna face -- -- kinsey you really tell -- to win coming off that loss last week. We're gonna know about them in their potential to plead deepening January is -- weather situation we can't see that sort of -- area of the world with a little warmer there but they gonna. Just looking at live shots on NFL network it -- when the -- there today there. Barbecue pork modeled what happened next time they have -- performed so well and we vehicle conditions. Sunday Night Football football white America this is the game NBC should flexed out. There at FedEx Field in our nation's capital but three and it Washington Redskins host the foreign seven New York Giants. Mike Shanahan says RG three is taking far too much blame and being treated unfairly for their losing record. A virtual everybody's a look at the quarterback just the nature of the business with one loss record we all understand you when visiting U loses it. -- that's where we think that's where we operate on one person loses. A game everybody loses -- game you know starting with me. And -- -- -- -- a lot of I out -- date date the agent quarterback this. The knee was a problem in it's just it's just gotten worse and worse in the -- the -- by the way. -- weather forecast for conceded that he thirty degrees high of forty her high of 52 food we know -- pretty nice and no -- December and for a change. ESPN has a better matchup than NBC Monday Night Football on ESPN. Is it century link field in Seattle but -- once Seattle Seahawks -- than nine into New Orleans Saints. Group -- says they're well aware of how difficult this play in Seattle and they're ready for. Certainly more difficult to go on the road and then win especially in this type of environment that we're going to. Com we understand those challenges come to factor we've been there before really into -- to prime time spots you know. Those seven they were playoff team in 07 we were not just an idea. 2010 was obviously a playoff game. From which we went up there and played extremely well maybe -- -- those close games again. Seattle wins this week he pretty much wrapped up that it would spot -- it appears that way but you heard in Andrew's voice. That there's a familiarity there so I think a lot of immediate fear -- yourself like out of going to that place it feels like to gather those rural America -- -- -- -- back. They came up complete through all of your knowing I think it was sort of a novel -- away that day amended. It's a team that they could still be pretty dangerous -- the road we're -- able beat. Even nervously as well I think you're looking at those two teams is the best into -- right now and I really do I think that I think you're you're looking at a potential and -- C championship matchup follow also say this Drew Brees has got little Peyton Manning and in that. It doesn't necessarily perform at the top of his game outdoors in less than ideal conditions you stick him in that don't want that brought down -- New Orleans and he has. Guns ablaze and -- I'll be curious to see how he performs tomorrow night in the arguably the lot of stadium in the NFL. I don't know that it won't be freezing cold but it could be rainy could be windy you know reduce the idea the with a loss of Carolina potential winning that division -- chemical suit with three losses and I think Carolina has a little reduce your slug on the way out so. Yeah you lose that advantage of the dome the bill's mentioning them so they've they've Roy got quite a lot of play for those two teams are really great home team. That's that they may do so much of their success -- so much to their success but a large portion of their success. Is wrapped up in them doing well at home in I think it's obsolete before both of them. To be able to get that upper hand when it comes to play and New Orleans plays at Seattle this week and then goes back vs Carolina next so they've got a -- -- quite a bit about them as well. I do wanna give you one update. And Adam -- terrific reporting this now on on ESPN pregame show right now. The NFL it's exe is expected to consider six figure fines for Mike Tomlin. And the Steelers organization. Problem was the NFL's most recent addition to the competition committee isn't this ironic. And according to show after they are even considering taking a -- away from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now obviously would be a first round pick I don't know what it would be. But. According to Adam -- -- FL is considering. Docking -- draft pick to the Steelers are Tomlin it's actions he also reported that multiple ravens players privately expressed disappointment. That returner Jacoby Jones didn't simply -- able. Which would have been -- seems a little excessive but again I guarantee that the NFL's. This may be scare tactic as much as an -- what -- we don't you take away draft pick for the might be something from that office amounts and it wouldn't stand for that. Well especially guy who just got named to the competition did I hear you wanna set a precedent -- the right. It will be interesting to see that the NFL comes up with the NBA by the way find Jason hit 50000 dollars. For the spilling of the Coke thing -- -- he was trying to do not them. I'm just fine. All he was try to that was in effect quiet -- -- -- -- lets you know they didn't have any timeouts -- teams try to you know delays and often talked to his team. Mike Tomlin was try to disrupt the play on the field. So I can see where the fine should be higher than. Different sport and I understand -- but not according to Adam -- -- considering six figure fines for both public and the Steelers organization. And even talking about the possibility. Of taking away draft that. -- -- -- We'll come back just few minutes Tommy current will join us from Houston Texas on NFL Sunday presented by the plants -- insurance. At the plant -- they shop so you save -- -- plants it dot com today.

Is it a must to wash all fabric before making quilts? I do some but others I don't. What is your thinking on this.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Is it a must to wash all fabric before making quilts? I do some but others I don't. What is your thinking on this.
I think its a good idea, just because you never know if something may shrink or bleed. Some do, some dont, I just am really cautious!
this is a long discussion as some prefers to pre wash and others don't
almost nothing in quilting is a "must".
i used to be fanatically against prewashing. then i started buying fancier fabrics at higher prices. wouldn't you know it? the color from one of them (a red) rubbed off onto another while it was still in the drawer. another (a blue) bled like a stuck pig when i washed the finished quilt.
both of those fabrics were selling for $9 per yard in quilt shops!
in all but two cases, no fabrics shrink on me by more than "a tadbit" unless they are of the type sold in quilt shops.
so ... as crazy at it sounds ... the more i pay for a fabric, the more likely i am to prewash it.
go figure. :roll:
I don't prewash anything. Been successful. Once had to replace a binding. I don't mind handwork so no big deal.
I have the quilt dry cleaned the first time if there are real darks and light lights together, and or if the quilt is going to ge a special one. They don't seem to bleed or shrink that way.
For me it depends on what i'm using it for, I tend to prewash baby stuff & the reds that could bleed. but if it is part of a pre-packaged kit I don't. I have listened to the arugment for both sides and really don't see a difference. Shout Color Catchers are great so if i don't have to I like to just wash it after I'm all done it.
Thanks so much for the input on washing fabric. I am new at adding things to the message board. I really enjoy reading it all.
If you want to do a search on the topic, you can read until tomorrow morning on the topic. (Maybe even next week)
I've had stuff shrink over two inches in width. Including a Michael Miller black that I just bought this winter at a LQS in Florida.
I very seldom prewash anymore, maybe 10% of what I buy ... only deep reds or greens etcOriginally Posted by Lou Lou
Use a color-catcher in the 1st wash and you should never have any problems
I've only had a couple of reds ever bleed in 20+ yrs of quilting, and those were Jinny Beyer prints 15 yrs ago

This is probably the wrong site to be listing these but I figured I'd give it a shot.
I have a pair of Vifa M22WR-09 08 midbass/subs for sale.
1 is in good condition while the other had it's dust cap pushed in and pulled back out, it looks a bit rough but both function 100%.
I did some research and found that these drivers are being used as subs in some pretty off the wall high end home audio Reference speaker systems. These are currently on the market overseas @ 142 AUD each.
I am taking best offers for the pair as it seems I am getting conflicting information with regard to actual retail pricing and production on these. 1 member was kind enough to point out the fact that these are indeed discontinued and there is supposedly a surplus or overstock on Ebay. (That I have yet to see for myself)
I don't know what TS parameters mean, but I found some specs on these, they are listed below. These are specs found on the site of a retailer, not sure how accurate they are, you may want to do some more research.
According to the site I found, they are designated as subwoofer/midrange use. In some of the descriptions I read, they are met with rave reviews from DIY guys over there in Europe.
I never used them as midbass but had tested them in an enclosure that was suited for use in a subwoofer application. They sound excellent, very impacting. They took what my Adcom GFA-555 had to offer in total stride, no ill signs of distress.

NEW YORK -- A few weeks ago, the anti-Andrew Raycroft forces in Leaf Nation dismissed him as a poor substitute for Ed Belfour and Curtis Joseph.
But if he keeps piling up wins for Toronto as he did in late January, the same crowd is likely to give him the kind of fierce animal nickname such as Eagle or Cujo. With three consecutive victories where he allowed just a goal, including back-to-back road triumphs over the Carolina Hurricanes and the Rangers, Raycroft has passed Belfour's 22 wins of last year's injury-shortened year.
And with five victories in the past six games, the Leafs could be a team that goes into the trade deadline later this month as a buyer.
Raycroft's 37 saves and a milestone goal for Mats Sundin pushed them past the Rangers last night, 2-1.
"Our goalie needed to be great because we didn't have much in the tank after Carolina," coach Paul Maurice said. "The coaches were concerned that (51 hits against the Hurricanes) were going to play against us. But Andrew did a lot of different things tonight, like stop three or four hard rims around the boards that helped our breakout."
Raycroft has made 13 consecutive starts since Dec. 30 (8-4-1) with Maurice still insisting he'll play the remaining 30 if the wacky Eastern Conference playoff race dictates it. Raycroft was just glad a tripleheader wasn't on tap this week.
"I'm dead, I can't wait to go to bed right now," Raycroft said. "I'm going to lie down on the plane, put my iPod on and shut it down.
"You feel proud after a game like that for a minute, then it's gone. We have another big one on Saturday (in Ottawa). It's not going to end."
Raycroft said the Leafs have offered vocal encouragement in his tough times, but he much prefers action, such as taking just five penalties in two nights where six or seven a night were commonplace.
"We've played better in front of him," Maurice said. "But keep in mind, he's young for a goalie, he has not been through a lot of campaigns and Toronto is not an easy market.
"But I think he's weathered the storm and now we're starting to see the Andrew we had earlier in the year."
A few Leafs might wink and will tell you the game was in the bag when winger Alexei Ponikarovsky made the score 1-1 in the second period. The Leafs now are 10-0-2 whenever he hits the scoresheet.
That set the stage for Ian White's breakaway pass to Sundin at 6:32 of the third, a top-shelf goal on Swedish countryman Henrik Lund-qvist. It was Sundin's 20th of the year, the 16th time he's done it in the NHL and a Leafs record 12th.
"I know there's nothing on the deke with him, he covers the area well," Sundin said. "I had a penalty shot on him this year where I didn't get it up enough. It was a good goal for me."
Jaromir Jagr, who usually smells blood when the Leafs are in the arena, extended his home points streak to 12 games with an assist on Brendan Shanahan's goal. He had a team-high 10 points against the Leafs last season and had five assists in three games this year.
Toronto's only other pair of wins on back-to-back nights this season also came in a Hurricanes-Rangers set.

Revised Instructions for Case Status Inquiries with Service Centers
USCIS has instituted a new (and supposedly more streamlined and reliable) process for directing case status inquiries with USCIS service centers. Case status inquiries should be conducted by following these steps:
Step 1: Contact the National Customer Service Center (NCSC) at 1-800-375-5283. The NCSC can assist customers, community-based organizations and liaison groups with case related inquiries. Before calling the NCSC please have available your receipt number, alien registration number, type of application filed and date filed. During your call we recommend that you take note of the following information:
* The name and/or id number of the NCSC representative
* The date and time of the call
* Any service request referral number, if a service referral on a pending case is taken
Step 2: If more than 30 days have passed since you contacted the NCSC and the issue has not been resolved or explained you can email the proper USCIS Service Center to check the status of your case.
* California Service Center: email@example.com
* Vermont Service Center : email@example.com
* Nebraska Service Center: email@example.com
* Texas Service Center: email@example.com
Please note: Emails should be sent to the Service Center that has jurisdiction over your case. The receipt notice will indicate EAC for the Vermont Service Center, SRC for the Texas Service Center, LIN for the Nebraska Service Center, and WAC for the California Service Center.
When contacting the Service Centers by email you will need to provide the information outlined in Step 1. If the NCSC did not issue a service request after your call, please indicate the reason the NCSC representative did not issue the request.
Step 3: In the event you do not receive a response within 21 days of contacting the appropriate Service Center, you may email the USCIS Headquarters Office of Service Center Operations by email at: email@example.com. You will receive a response from this email address within ten days.
