|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The Lakers haven't even lifted the Larry O'Brien trophy yet and already the NBA rumor mill is heating up. The latest gossip is the possibility of a trade that would send Shaquille O'Neal from the Phoenix Suns to the Cavs in exchange for bottom feeders Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic.
If this leaves you scratching your head, take a number. However, it seems to be all about money. The Suns realize they have little chance of winning another NBA title in their current form so they must rebuild. Shaq makes $20 million and trading him for high priced Ben Wallace ($14 million) and Pavlovic ($4.9 million) would free up a lot of space for the Suns (who would try to buy out Wallace) and gives the Cavs a big upgrade under the basket. ESPN.com reports that no deal is imminent, however.
My Take: Shaq is no longer the dominating force he once was. That said, he's an upgrade for the Cavs as they pretty much give up nothing in the trade. It's tough to say how this would affect the East next year but as a Celtics fan, it's definitely not the best news, if it happens.
Tags: Ben Wallace, Sasha Pavlovic, Shaquille O'Neal
The Cavs do this every year. "Let's add a piece to make LeBron happy." They should've made the move for Shaq at the deadline…because he may have been the difference against Dwight Howard and the Magic.
ps – Love the Kazaam pic!

20" Tire Recomendations
I'm looking to get a '12 Laredo and am thinking about doing an Altitude conversation.
I'm thinking about these wheels since they're a little less expensive. http://oewheelsllc.com/Wheels_3/Whee...and-Cherokee_5
I'm just wondering what tires to match these with? I'm looking for something all season (I live in Minnesota) and nothing too expensive.
Hey man, sorry to hi jack your thread. Not sure if you are set on black rims or not ? If your not there is a guy on here selling the same rims in the steel / gray finish with tires for about 1k. I am also selling a set "just the rims". Id be willing to go down quite a bit on price since mine are not selling at the price I am asking for them. PM if interested. I also know that Scott is selling a black set like the ones in the link for about the same 700 I think he was asking.
Thanks for the info. I'm pricing things out right now but I'm leaning toward the altitude. I'll keep this I'm mind though

Certified 2012 Performance AWD SRX
51k miles, Certified warranty till 100k
Price 29k. Inside and out look great.
What do you guys think? Thanks for any advice!
How many miles do you plan on driving per year?
I only drive about 12k-15k a year.
Make sure there are no leftover 2012 new ones out there. You would only pay a little more for it. That is high miles. That is like you owning it for four years already.
Thanks for the advice, I have looked around but no luck finding any new 2012's in the Ny Nj Pa area. All other used AWD Performance 2012's with normal miles are starting around 36k
Just bout my 2012 Premium AWD over a month back for $39,000 with miles in the mid 30s
we bought our new 12 AWD Premium with DVD system 1 month ago here at our local dealer in NY. They did not have any 12's on the lot and had to locate and pull this one from approx 200 miles away. After all the rebates, discounts, etc....we were around $7500-8000 off sticker. They had a used 11 premium and this was only $2k more. look into a left over 12' if you can but getting scarce.
Thanks for all the replies. I am going to put a deposit down this morning to hold it over the weekend.
Way to many miles for a 2012 model!!! That vehicle may have been a rental. I would check the history before anything else.......Check the lots for new 2012's, could be a better deal. Just MHO.....
I checked the car fax. Was registered as a personal vehicle.
Have the tires been replaced a new set will run you around $1100.00 ?
Yes...new tires. Car certified by dealer
Going to pick up my pre owned 2012 awd performance and ditching the 2010 awd luxury. Cant wait for the extra power and options!
Did you just buy the 2010 about a month ago? I hope you are getting a good trade in value for it!!

About the Author
Pema Chödrön is an American Buddhist nun in the lineage of Chögyam Trungpa. She is resident teacher at Gampo Abbey in Nova Scotia, the first Tibetan monastery in North America established for Westerners. She is the author of many books and audiobooks, including the best-selling When Things Fall Apart and Don't Bite the Hook.
Pema Chödrön was born Deirdre Blomfield-Brown in 1936, in New York City. She attended Miss Porter's School in Connecticut and graduated from the University of California at Berkeley. She taught as an elementary school teacher for many years in both New Mexico and California. Pema has two children and three grandchildren.
While in her mid-thirties, Pema traveled to the French Alps and encountered Lama Chime Rinpoche, with whom she studied for several years. She became a novice nun in 1974 while studying with Lama Chime in London. His Holiness the Sixteenth Karmapa came to England at that time, and Pema received her ordination from him.
Pema first met her root teacher, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, in 1972. Lama Chime encouraged her to work with Rinpoche, and it was with him that she ultimately made her most profound connection, studying with him from 1974 until his death in 1987. At the request of the Sixteenth Karmapa, she received the full monastic ordination in the Chinese lineage of Buddhism in 1981 in Hong Kong.
Pema served as the director of Karma Dzong, in Boulder, until moving in 1984 to rural Cape Breton, Nova Scotia to be the director of Gampo Abbey. Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche asked her to work towards the establishment of a monastery for western monks and nuns.
Pema currently teaches in the United States and Canada and plans for an increased amount of time in solitary retreat under the guidance of the Venerable Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche.

Less than 2 years until 12/12/12.
December 12, 2012 is the end of the Mayan Calendar. Some are forecasting the end of the world or, as my blog title states, to the Ends of the Earth.
Much is being written about this. I scanned the titles of books at the bookstore the other day. Everyone has a different take on this. Everyone has a theory and an interpretation. Would it matter what I had to say? Some could say it makes sense. Others would say it's all bunk. Would it really make a difference to the way we would live in 2011?
It does matter to me. If something spectacular is going to happen in 2012 I want to be ready. If it's really the End of the World then I'll have had an amazing time seeing the world before it disappears. If it is, as some forecast, just the time of a major shift in consciousness and the way the world exists then I'll be ready for that too.
I like to have my bases covered. I'm not heading to Asia totally unprepared. Prepare for the worst and expect the best is my motto. I read most of the time and am always doing research during my travels. My travels is research. The ancient traditions in Asia have meaning to where the world is heading. I want my own answers and not someone else interpretation. I want the answers from the horses mouth, so to speak.
Before the end of 2012 I plan on having also gone to South America and have a better understanding of the Mayan forecasts. If you're at all interested and can't make it around the world to do your own research I invite you to follow along. I'll document my findings. It'll be up to you to arrive at your own conclusions.
It being the first of the year here are my resolutions. Hmmm? I have none. Why change what I've been doing up till now. My life is amazing, that is, with a lot of help from God and the Laws of the Universe.
Many thanks to Asya, Valeriya, and Blair for an awesome New Year's Eve!
Much love to my kids, family, friends, and unknown followers. May 2011 assist in making all your dreams come true.
Think It! Feel It! Live It! LOve It!

What you don't know about SNAP may surprise you
Highlighting community agencies in our service territory
Post by
Jessie Wuerst
Avista is proud to partner with many community agencies throughout our service territory that provide services for those most in need. We thought you might like to get better acquainted with our partners, so each quarter we will highlight one agency and the valuable work they are doing to serve our neighbors.
Spokane County's community action agency, SNAP
is best known for its Heating Assistance program, which Avista supports in many important ways. But SNAP's services go way beyond that.
Did you know?
SNAP helps create businesses – and jobs – in Spokane
SNAP Financial Access provides small business loans and business education for low- to moderate-income residents.
Lai Len became an entrepreneur just a year after arriving in Spokane from a refugee camp in Malaysia. He enrolled in SNAP Financial Access's Individual Development Account program and in a year saved enough money to buy a janitorial franchise. "I used to work three jobs," he said. "I only have to work two now."
SNAP connects people in crisis or transition
SNAP's Community Voice Mail program provides a free, 24-hour voicemail number that helps people connect with jobs, housing and other vital resources.
With only the clothes on his back and a past that included jail time and a chunk of unpaid debt, Jerry turned to SNAP. In addition to helping Jerry with housing, heating assistance and money management, SNAP provided him with Community Voice Mail until he could afford a phone of his own. "I was amazed at the amount of programs within SNAP," he said. "I felt like they provided the light at the end of the tunnel."
SNAP provides housing to hundreds of families and teaches them how to keep it
SNAP helped Katie through a
difficult time in her life.
SNAP offers homeless prevention assistance, shelter housing and transitional housing, with a goal to help people become stable and self-sufficient.
Katie was five months pregnant, without a job, taking a full load of college classes, and in need of a safe, secure place to live. She called SNAP, and with help from one of our caseworkers, Katie set goals for her future, took classes in budgeting and learned about renters' rights. About a month before her son was born, Katie qualified for a beautiful two-bedroom apartment. She continued to work with SNAP and eventually took over the lease. "I will never be homeless again," Katie said, "because SNAP gave me the tools to be successful for the rest of my life."
SNAP does a lot for low-income residents of Spokane County. Last year, the organization helped nearly 50,000 people through more than 30 community-based programs. If you or someone you know is in need, give SNAP a call at 456-7111 or visit SNAP online.

Avista's Customer Service team makes Christmas possible for customer
Employees work fast and give generously to bring Christmas to a customer in need
Post by
Sarah Richards
An Avista employee cut down a Christmas
tree from their own property to give to the
customer, along with donated lights and
holiday decorations.
Within 24 hours, the Customer Service
department raised more than $400 from
employee donations, which were delivered
in this gift basket.
As a single father who had struggled for a long time after his divorce, Avista Customer Service Representative Steven Schmitt was greatly impacted recently after taking a call from a single dad of two, who was struggling to pay the bills. There was no Christmas in sight for this family – not even a tree. But Schmitt and his co-workers didn't just stand by and watch Christmas slip away - they sprang into action and brought Christmas to the customer.
The customer explained to Schmitt, that over the last six months, he had lost everything: his home, car, wife and job. He was having a hard time "catching his breath." He had started a new job and just needed a little extra time to catch up.
"For some reason, this phone call really struck something in me," Schmitt said. "I remember a time where, if it hadn't been for the help of family and friends, I was almost the one telling my son he wasn't going to get a Christmas. No parent should ever have to tell a child that."
Schmitt wanted to give this customer something he himself was given in a time of need, a warm and bright Christmas for his children.
Schmitt and others in Customer Service were able to work with the customer on a payment arrangement for his energy bill and get the customer in contact with SNAP and some Project Share funds to get the his past due amount paid. SNAP also set him up for an appointment in January for further energy assistance.
That took care of the bill, but there was still no Christmas for his family.
"I wanted them to have a Christmas and knew we had to act fast," Schmitt recalls. "I sent an email to all my coworkers in Customer Service, explaining the situation and asked if they could help somehow. I work for a wonderful, generous company where the employees are second to none."
Within 24 hours, the Customer Service department raised more than $400 from employee donations. Schmitt used the funds to buy a bus pass, some gift certificates to local stores and a housewarming gift certificate to help with some of the bill. All the items were put together in a gift basket that included some Avista fleece blankets and water bottles.
An Avista employee even cut down a Christmas tree from their own property to give to the customer, along with donated lights and holiday decorations. Schmitt and a co-worker delivered the gift basket, Christmas tree and decorations to the family the Tuesday before Christmas. It was nothing less than an emotional and enlightening experience for everyone involved. There were a few grateful tears shed during the visit.
According to Schmitt, the customer was extremely grateful, and sent his deepest thanks and gratitude for all the caring hearts at Avista Utilities.
"I am proud to say that I work with an amazing group of people," Schmitt said. "I thank everyone for their compassion and generosity this holiday season. We were able to make this a happy holiday for a father and his two children."
If you are in need, we want to hear from you
offers services for customers
such as comfort level billing, payment arrangements and Customer Assistance Referral and Evaluation Services (CARES), which provide assistance to special-needs customers through referrals to area agencies and churches for help with housing, utilities, medical assistance and other needs. We want to hear from you before you get behind on your bill – just give us a call. You can even make payment arrangements online.

Avista receives approval in Washington electric and natural gas rate requests
Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission approves multi-party settlement agreement, including increase in energy assistance funding for customers
News Release by
Debbie Simock
Avista received approval today from the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) on the multi-party settlement agreement, concluding the company's electric and natural gas rate requests in Washington. New customer rates will be effective Jan. 1, 2012. Avista made the requests to the UTC on May 16, 2011, followed by a multi--party settlement agreement on Sept. 30, 2011.
"Energy impacts every aspect of our lives. It's our job to make sure customers can depend on having energy when they need it and that requires a reliable energy delivery system," said Dennis Vermillion, Avista Corp. senior vice president and president of Avista Utilities. "We are pleased the Commission recognized the need for retail rates to reflect the increased costs necessary to operate our system."
The approved rates are designed to provide an additional $20.0 million in annual electric revenue and $3.75 million in natural gas annual revenues to recover, among other things, increased investment in Avista's energy system. The new prices reflect an overall electric increase of 4.5 percent in billed rates and a natural gas increase of 2.5 percent in billed rates.
Effective Jan. 1, 2012, a residential customer using an average of 977 kilowatt-hours of electricity a month would see an increase of $3.02, or 4.0 percent, for a revised monthly bill of $78.00. A residential natural gas customer using an average of 67 therms a month would see a $1.76, or 2.8 percent, increase a month for a revised monthly bill of $64.63. Avista serves more than 234,000 electric and nearly 147,000 natural gas customers in Washington.
Additional annual funding of $550,000 in direct energy bill payment assistance for limited income and senior customers will be available as a result of the UTC approval. The increase includes $370,000 in new funding for Avista's Low Income Rate Assistance Program (LIRAP), plus $180,000 in reallocated funds from the utility's conservation education program. In total, annual funding available for the LIRAP program to assist qualifying customers would be approximately $3.6 million for electric customers and approximately $1.8 million for natural gas customers. The LIRAP program is funded through a separate tariff.
Information on energy assistance programs and energy efficiency rebates and incentives for customers is available at
The UTC has requested a more detailed breakdown of executive compensation for informational purposes. Avista will provide the requested information by the February 29, 2012, deadline.

Avista's West Central Energy Fair – a huge success
Post by
Dan Kolbet
Last evening more than 350 individuals stopped by Avista's Energy Fair at the West Central Community Center in Spokane. Fairgoers were treated to energy efficiency demonstrations and provided free samples to get their home projects underway this heating season. It's time to keep the warm air in and the cold air out.
Community agencies: SNAP, Second Harvest Food Bank, Money Management Int. and WorkSource were on hand to provide information.
Avista customer service representatives met with customers on site and discussed any account or billing questions.
Kids of all ages learned about energy, energy efficiency and safety from Wattson, Avista's Energy Watchdog, who sang and danced his way into their hearts.
A hearty meal was also provided through Christ Kitchen.
Events like this are free to the community, but often are invaluable for our customers. Similar events, which are staffed by Avista employees, have been held previously in Spokane, Coeur d'Alene and Clarkston. Stay tuned to the blog for the next event in early 2012.
If you attended the event last night,
let us know what you thought about it here.

Cold weather is on the way – there's no getting around it. So, before it hits with all its fury, it's a good time to reach out and provide information about bill assistance and energy efficiency. Two Avista Energy Fairs are scheduled this fall to do just that – Lewiston/Clarkston on October 22 and Spokane on November 3.
"We've done two fairs in Spokane and one in Coeur d'Alene over the past year and they have been well attended. We're pleased that people are finding value in the energy efficiency demonstrations and weatherization materials they receive," said Anne Marie Axworthy, Avista's director of consumer affairs. "It's great to take customer service opportunities like the Energy Fair out to where it's convenient for our customers. Our hope is that the information about billing options, energy assistance and energy efficiency is helpful to those struggling to pay their bills and also of benefit for anyone who wants to better manage their energy use."
Avista employees and community service providers will be on hand to answer questions about the following:
Bill Assistance
– Avista customer service representatives will answer billing questions, provide information about payment options and refer customers to energy assistance programs. And they will demonstrate how to use Avista's free online Bill Analyzer to get more information about managing your energy bill.

For the kids, and the kids at heart, Wattson, Avista's energy watchdog, will guide attendees through his musical message of energy efficiency and safety. Employee volunteers will have craft projects and interactive activities available to keep little hands busy while taking a break from the information tables. Food and beverages, door prizes and a grand prize basket that includes a Housewarming Certificate will also be available to all participants.

Today's Washington rate filing - what's driving the cost of energy?
Today Avista files for electric and natural gas rate increase in Washington
Post by
Debbie Simock
When you need energy, you expect it to be there. That's reliability. And, making sure it's there is our job. A key to ensuring that happens is having infrastructure – poles, pipes, wires, transformers, substations, equipment and generating facilities – in place that can reliably do the job and continue to meet the growing demand for energy.
Can you guess how old this transformer is?
Hint – Harry Truman was President of the United
States. This transformer has been in continuous
service since 1947 and is one example of the
need to replace aging infrastructure to ensure
That's why we're investing approximately $250 million in our utility infrastructure in 2011.
The cost of upgrading equipment today is significantly more expensive than the equipment being replaced, some of which has been serving customers for 40 to 70 years. These increased costs are the major driver in the request we filed today with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) to increase electric rates by an
8.7 percent and overall 4.0 percent for natural gas.
Read more in the news release.
If approved it would increase the bill for a residential electric customer using an average 977 kilowatt hours per month by $7.13 per month, or 9.3 percent, for a revised monthly bill of $84.14. For natural gas it would increase the bill for a residential customer using an average of 67 therms a month by $3.26, or 5.1 percent, for a revised monthly bill of $66.71.
Rates are going up for customers across the U.S. and we know that any increase in rates can be a challenge for customers. That's why we are committed to offering
energy efficiency programs
for all customers and to supporting
energy assistance services
that help those residential customers who are most impacted by rising prices.
We're here to answer your questions and provide information about our energy future. Take a few minutes to watch the short Take a
Closer Look at How Rates are Set video
. There, you'll also learn more about What's Driving the Cost of Energy and the work we're doing to ensure that you have the reliable energy you expect.

Popular billing program dates back to Eisenhower administration
The Illuminator
was Washington Water Power's
monthly employee publication from the 1920s to the
Comfort Level Billing helps smooth
the ups and downs of your monthly bill
Post by
Dan Kolbet
Next week Avista will publish print advertisements in local newspapers and run radio spots reminding customers about our
billing assistance options
. This time of year is often tough on budgets due to our cold winters. This winter (especially when compared to the previous one) has been rather chilly so the timing couldn't be better.
A co-worker reminded me yesterday about the history behind our Comfort Level Billing program that allows customers to smooth out the ups and downs of a monthly bill into one similar payment every month. The company – then Washington Water Power – started the program in 1957 as a budget billing system.
Click above to read the introduction of
Comfort Level Billing from 1957.
Yep, that was 54 years ago when Dwight Eisenhower was in the White House and the company only offered electric service.
So if you're not signed up
, it's not like you haven't had any time to do it.
Check out this article "
Billing System Devised to Ease Customer Payment
," which originally ran in the Washington Water Power employee newsletter,
The Illuminator
. The program was in its infancy, so a couple of the details have changed since then, but the basic program is the same.

Avista reviewing commission notice of non-compliance
At issue is how energy assistance funds are credited to customer accounts
Post by
Dan Kolbet
Earlier today Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission
issued a news release regarding Avista
and its application of energy assistance grants, or pledge monies, to the accounts of customers who have been disconnected for non-payment. Below is our news release, sent out at 4 p.m. today, that provides a few explanatory details on the subject.
If you have any questions about this topic, send us an e-mail at
News release
Avista Reviewing Commission Notice of Non-Compliance
At issue is how energy assistance funds are credited to customer accounts
SPOKANE, Wash. – Dec 16, 2010, 4:00 PST:
Avista is reviewing the notice it received today from the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) stating the company is considered in violation of certain state consumer protection rules primarily relating to the application of energy assistance grants, or pledge monies, to the accounts of customers who have been disconnected for non-payment. The company was assessed a $62,100 fine.
"Avista and the UTC share a common concern for our customers and both want to help them avoid an interruption in their service because of non-payment," said Vicki Weber, Avista's director of customer service. "All energy assistance grants customers receive are fully applied to their account - that fact is not in question by the UTC. We believe that certain aspects of the rules are unclear, and we look forward to working with commission staff in order to avoid future misunderstandings."
When an energy assistance grant is received for a customer who has had a service interruption for non-payment, Avista applies the funds to the customer's past due amount - including prior balance - to help bring the account balance to zero. Prior balance is the dollar amount, excluding deposit amounts owed, the utility has billed to the customer for the energy they have already used and for which the utility has not received payment at the time the service was disconnected for nonpayment.
At issue is whether energy assistance grants should be applied only to current and future amounts billed since the service was reconnected, or whether assistance grants should also be applied to past due amounts.
"Avista has a long history of care and support for our customers," Weber said. "Through Avista's tariff-based Low-Income Rate Assistance Program (LIRAP), approximately $3.3 million in energy assistance is available annually for qualifying customers and approximately $1.7 million for natural gas customers. Additionally, $2 million in assistance is available to help qualifying customers improve the energy efficiency of their homes through Avista's low-income weatherization program."
In the fourth quarter of 2010, Avista shareholders also contributed $425,000 to Project Share, a program which provides emergency energy assistance to qualifying households that have exhausted other avenues of aid, regardless of the fuel used to heat the home. Recipients of Project Share assistance do not have to be Avista customers.
The notice and associated fine are a result of an audit conducted by the UTC on randomly selected Avista customers who had their electric and/or natural gas service disconnected between Oct. 15 and 31, 2009, because of non-payment. Avista was one of five regulated electric and natural gas utilities in Washington State that were similarly audited.
Avista has up to 15 days to pay the $62,100 fine, request a hearing to contest the violations or request a reduction in the fine.

I hope to work on a lap quilt for my husband. Outdoor print with deer, turkeys, quail and such. I'm trying to keep it a surprise. Now wondering what to put in the crockpot.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I hope to work on a lap quilt for my husband. Outdoor print with deer, turkeys, quail and such. I'm trying to keep it a surprise. Now wondering what to put in the crockpot.
Sounds like everyone is going to be busy today. I will be putting final preparations on tomorrow's menu for a family gathering (Canadian Thankgiving and celebrating October B'days for 2 grands) so no sewing room for me today except for putting things in their place and closing the door to keep the 6 grandchildren from rearranging it for me when they are here tomorrow :-)
Lori - MamaBear
One pf ,u best quilting friends and I are going to the grand opening of a GUESS WHAT??????????..........QUILT SHOP!!!
The shop is moving to another small town nearby and today is their big day!! It is going to be a beautiful day so what more could one ask for?
It sounds like all of you are going to be busy today.....me,too. I woke up to a dusting of snow here in the UP.... beautiful. .... wish I could just sit and enjoy..... but.. we are headed to a book sale and fiber fair this morning, then we'll come back home to watch football games and baseball games. I'll be working on a lap quilt for my great nephew as well.
I love those locker hooking rugs.... they make my ugly fabric disappear. I made one rug with a bear in the middle for our cabin and another rug is just lots of different fabrics. I'm planning on doing another one this winter with a fish in the center.... again to take to the cabin. But, I turn the outside edge in and do 4 rows all the way around. I don't have to make any kind of border that way.
You all go have a wonderful Saturday.
I plan on quilting a lap quilt today and working on a cross stitch project along with doing some cleaning. Sure sounds like all of you have great projects/events planned for the day so have a great one!
I will be going to JoAnn's with my shopping list, then a visit with Grandson. Back home to watch the game and do some sewing. No quilting today , working on jacket for myself and pjs for sister's Christmas gift.
Pat M.
I love the rug, too! Will need to search out that book. Very busy day ahead for me...need to sweep and dust and run to grocery store. All 3 of our kids plus spouses/boyfriend will be here this afternoon to watch college football and then to have a weinie roast. I also will try to sneak a little time to work on my American Beauty quilt.
I'd like to know what the ruler method of folding is too. Can someone tell us how it's done? I'm working on organizing my sewing room and found a couple of unfinished projects to work on. Don't know what I'm going to do today, but after 5 cloudy, rainy days, it's a beautiful morning to enjoy.
Save the Earth!
Its the only planet with Chocolate.
Great organization! I love your latch hook rug! I'm on my way to my sewing room to pin together a quilt sandwich. I need to get it off my cutting table as I want to start working on tracing the pattern and getting my fabric cut for an appliqued Autumn BOM. Hopefully, I can finish the pinning this morning and start on the BOM this afternoon. Guess it will be Monday before I start doing the quilting on the quilt I am pinning. Wish me luck. Today I need it.
Visiting my son in Charlotte for his 25th birthday!

Obama finds his voice
WASHINGTON — Since presenting their budget demands, Republicans have been bold and tough — sometimes by their own description — while President Barack Obama has been missing in action and, when present, prone to being bullied.
Whupped like a puppy to avoid a government shutdown last week, Obama proved there's such a thing as being too good a sport. He hailed the agreement to cut $38 billion from the current federal budget as if he'd actually been for "the biggest annual spending cut in history" that brought "Americans of different beliefs" together.
Leave it to the compromiser-in-chief to find a non-existent pony in the manure (to borrow from that incurable optimist, Ronald Reagan) while encouraging the bullies to bully again. Since the 2010 midterm elections, Obama has been at such pains to be seen navigating the ship of state calmly through choppy political waters, giving in on taxes during the lame-duck session to prove it, that he has let the national conversation on budget and taxes proceed on Republican terms — that is, to ignore revenue and attack spending.
Wednesday, at long last, Obama called a spade a spade. He got to the black heart of the Republican budget plan going forward: They propose to afflict the afflicted, and comfort the comfortable, with a combination of draconian spending cuts that disproportionately hurt the middle and working classes and tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the wealthy, who are taxed at some of the lowest levels since the Great Depression.
It's a version of killing the patient to save the patient, raising the deficit to lower it. Of the Republican plan authored by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, Obama said: "There's nothing serious about a plan that claims to reduce the deficit by spending a trillion dollars on tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires. And I don't think there's anything courageous about asking for sacrifice from those who can least afford it and don't have any clout on Capitol Hill."
The cutters in Congress were negative in their "pre- buttals" and cynical in their remarks after. "I thought to myself, 'And I missed lunch for this?" quipped Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas, chairman of the House Republican Conference. His colleagues repeated the word "disappointed," as if Republicans are the parents taking away Obama's bike for his own good.
Tomorrow they'll cry "class warfare," as if they aren't the ones waging it. Speaker John Boehner said raising taxes on top earners is a "non-starter." To the financial institutions that got us into this mess and remain too big to fail, we can now add the wealthy, who are evidently too big to tax.
They were also critical of a lack of specificity, when, in fact, the president laid out where he would cut, where he would tax, and where he would save money.
To reduce the deficit by $4 trillion over 12 years, he would slice non-security discretionary spending to levels that would save $770 billion by 2023, pare mandatory spending with the goal of saving $360 billion, simplify the tax code by ending breaks that don't go to the great majority of non-itemizing taxpayers, and mandate that Congress pass across-the-board spending reductions if the nation's debt isn't declining as a share of the economy by the second half of the decade.
And he laid out what he would preserve, particularly Medicare.
Medicare was created in 1965 because so many seniors — a cohort beset by pre-existing conditions —couldn't find coverage from an industry largely throwing scams at them. Medicare fixed that. In the Republican budget, there's no mending Medicare. There's only ending Medicare, with a voucher program that would send seniors back out into a merciless marketplace that Boehner and Ryan somehow see as benign.
The president can hardly get the debate back in his court in one speech. The United States is splintered into a hundred intellectual and emotional pieces, many with their own facts.
Perhaps the biggest point of contention in the threatened shutdown was Planned Parenthood, among the lowest-cost care providers for women. Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., claimed that more than 90 percent of Planned Parenthood's work is abortions. It's only 3 percent. His staff said his comment was "not intended to be a factual statement."
Leave the bubble of Washington and New York and enter a world of foreclosed houses, shuttered stores and 50-year-old former middle managers flipping hamburgers and feeling lucky to do so. The gap between Wall Street enjoying shocking profits and the janitor living in a trailer park has never been greater, each increasingly represented by its own party. It's going to take many more speeches for the president to bridge that divide.

Once Windows Phone 8.1 rolls out commercially, that will no longer be the case now that Cortana is going to be on the scene. Comparing Cortana with Google Now or Siri is certainly valid, a lot of functionality overlaps.
Cortana really shines in how it can interact and execute tasks on third party applications. It also allows you to direct how much insight it may have into your information and behavior. Assuming that you give Cortana free rein to do what it is designed to do, it will be able to provide granular reminders of things to do based on where you are, or who you are in contact with.
We got to spend some time with one of the Principal Program Managers from Microsoft that worked on the Cortana team, specifically the experiential elements which are highly complex. Not only did the team have to ensure smooth interface with Bing and third party apps, but they added subtle personality traits, making Cortana seem less robotic.
Cortana will be released with Windows Phone 8.1 in beta while Microsoft irons out the nuances that can only be encountered by real-world use. Once Cortana is ready to expand out of North America, the beta tag will be removed. We note that because even in our basic demo and discussion below, there was a small hiccup. Given how noisy it was though, we are pretty confident that Cortana will indeed impress you when it (she) finds itself (herself) on your Windows Phone.

While many know that it is unwise to flip on the lights when going to investigate a potential burglar in the home, many these same people will continuously run a flashlight when searching their homes. This is bad light discipline.
A good light lets you search while revealing any potential intruders, but it also reveals your position. It's better light discipline to use a flashlight with a momentary button to quickly scan the room before letting the light go off and quickly stepping to the side. I repeat: After every scan, turn off the light and quickly, butquietly, move one to two steps to the side. This ensures that if a bad guy charges or fires toward the light, you will not be there to feel the brunt of the attack.
Practice light discipline in a dark room with an unloaded or inert gun to ensure you can hold, aim and fire while holding a light, and be sure to scan quickly and to move every time the light goes out.

Peer into an underwater world. What's on the menu in the ocean café? In this cool science fair project, discover how tiny ocean life feeds some of the largest animals on the planet.
What plants and animals are part of an ocean food web?
- 8½" x 11" square piece of white cardstock paper
- Colored pencils
- Pen
- Ruler
- Scissors
- Transparent tape
- Books about the plants and animals of the ocean
- String
- Masking tape
- Push pins
- Corrugated cardboard
The oceans are huge, covering almost three quarters of the earth's surface! They're also extremely rich with life; in fact, we know much less about life in the ocean than we do about the animals and plants that live on land.
Whales are one of the most recognizable marine mammals, and people love to visit the Pacific Northwest to go whale-watching. One of the most famous whales in the Pacific Northwest is the killer whale, or orca. Some of these black and white whales eat fish, but others, known as the transient orcas, eat other marine mammals such as seals. Transient orcas move from place to place, while resident whales stay in the same general part of the ocean.
Seals are common in the Pacific Northwest, and they will often pop up next to you if you're in a boat.
These marine mammals like to munch on fish as well—usually fish like herring or salmon.
What do little herring fish eat? They survive on plankton—the tiny, drifting animals and plants in the ocean. There are two broad types of plankton: phytoplankton is a plant, while zooplankton is an animal.
The herring prefer to eat little zooplankton called copepods.
It's hard to believe that something as tiny as a copepod needs a good food supply, but copepods have to eat too! They forage on other plankton, algae, dead plant materials, and bacteria.
Can you think of other plants and animals that live in the ocean? What do they eat?
In this activity, you'll build a food chain, web, and pyramid. You may have heard the terms food chain, food web, and food pyramid. What do they mean, and how are they different? A food chain is a simple chain that illustrates which organisms eat which. In a food chain, you begin with one plant. In the ocean, this might be one of the very abundant phytoplankton. A grazing copepod might eat the phytoplankton, and a herring would come along and eat the copepod for lunch. After that, a seal looking for its supper would find a few delicious herring and munch on them. If you wanted to go further, you could add your orca whale into the food chain, which likes to eat the seal.
Creating a Food Chain
- To create a food chain, place a foot-long piece of string on the cardboard. Pin it at either end.
- Create labels that say "phytoplankton," "copepod," "herring," and "seal" and add these labels to push pins.
- Place the plant pin at one end of the string, followed by the copepod, the herring, and the seal.
- You've created a food chain—a simple line that shows how one plant can feed a copepod, which feeds a herring, which then feeds a seal.
Creating a Food Web
Of course, the menu in the ocean is a lot larger than what your food chain shows! Individual animals can eat many other types of plants and animals, not just one. For example, a seal likes to eat other fish like salmon, and seals in turn can be eaten by larger animals such as orca whales.
- Create two more labeled push pins that say "orca" and "salmon" and use your string to attach the orca to the seal, the orca to the salmon, and the seal to the salmon. Are there any other connections that you can see?
- Your food chain is beginning to look more like a web! Can you research any other animals that might be part of this ocean food web? Add them to push pins and continue building your web.
Creating a Food Pyramid
A food pyramid is different from a food chain or web. How is it different? Think about your herring. How many copepods does it eat in a week? Probably thousands! How many herring does it take to feed your seal? Certainly fewer.
As you move up the food chain, each level, or trophic level, can support fewer animals. Each trophic level represents the position an organism occupies in a food chain. A single seal (ultimate consumer) can eat many herring (secondary consumer), and a single herring can eat many copepods (primary consumer). Each copepod eats hundreds of individual bits of phytoplankton, called producers because these small plants get energy from the sun. This means that thousands and thousands of plankton end up indirectly feeding that seal at the top of the chain. A food pyramid shows the different numbers of organisms that are necessary at each level of the food chain. At the bottom of your food chain you might draw many different bits of phytoplankton, but there will be only one seal in the small triangle at the top.
- Let's build your pyramid! Print out this pyramid template on your cardstock paper, and let's get started.
- First, cut out the template from the image you printed.
- Fold the template along the diagonal lines that run through its center.
- From bottom to top, label the four parts of one triangle with the following names: producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, ultimate consumer.
- From bottom to top, label the four parts of the second triangle with the names of the plants and animals on your food chain. You'll begin with the plants at the bottom, and end with the name of the top predator at the top. Remember: The phytoplankton are the producers, the copepods are the primary consumers, the herring is the secondary consumer, and the seal is the ultimate consumer.
- On a third triangle, draw a picture of each plant or animal.
- To complete your ocean food pyramid, tape the tab on your first triangle to the underside of your third triangle. You've made a food pyramid!

Fukushima Challenges Hold Lessons for U.S. Disaster Planning
In the past week officials have increased the evacuation zone around the six reactors in Fukushima, an effort being watched by disaster relief experts here who say there are important lessons to glean from the Japanese response.
Dr. Irwin Redlener is is the Director of the National Center For Disaster Preparedness at Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health.
He says the wide disparity between what Japanese officials have advised the public in the struck region and what U.S. experts advised Americans also nearby is troublesome. Inconsistencies between what Japanese officials are saying day to day can also undermine public confidence.
"These kinds of discrepenancies not only create anxiety, but it also does something very insidious to create distrust in the publics view of officials who are the messengers," says Redlener.
Dr. Redlener says the New York metro region still lacks a coherent plan for being able to quickly dispense potassium iodide which must be taken soon after a radiation exposure to reduce the risk of contracting thyroid cancer.
"It is not sufficiently available and there is not a plan on how we get ot to everybody, not just in New York City, but throughout the rest of the state."
Officials report getting the Fukushima atomic power plants back under control is proving difficult. The evacuation zone around the six reactors has been expanded.
Dr. Redlener says details really matter in drawing up a truly comprehensive evacuation plan including anticpating which transportation links are most vulnerable.
"We really do need to ask how de we evacuate all the hospitals simultaneously. What about home bound elderly individuals who have medical propblems who can't even get downstairs in normal times? What about people in prisons?"
Japan is dealing with both the impact of the quake/tsunami and the nuclear fallout crisis simultaneously. For disaster response planners, after the initial event, the biggest challenge is developing interim housing units for tens of thousands of people and the supply chain needed to sustain them.
Dr. Redlener says not enough has been in the United States to meet that kind of challenge.
"I am particularly worried about what happens to people once they are evacuated. Assuming they do get evacuated. How ready are the destination communities to receive large numbers of people that need shelter, food water and medicine?
Redlener says for Japanese officials crisis decision making is further complicated by having to cope with knowing what to tell the public even before actual scientific data is in about the existing levels of radiation. While news reports on efforts to get Fukushima under control were discouraging, municipal officials in Japan said the level of radiation in the Tokyo water supply had gone down enough that they could lift their ban on water consumption for infants.
Here in the US both the Nuclear Regulatory and the nuclear power industry are closely monitoring the situation on the ground in Fukushima and pledged to apply whatever they can learn from it to improve their own performance.
Post September 11th the United States spent billions of dollars to prepare for a potential terrorist attack. Than in 2005 Katrina hit the Gulf Coast exposing major gaps in local, regional, state and Federal natural disaster response capabilities.

Can't Find a Food that Works
Hi there, super new I'm from another dog forum and I've been having constant problems with my girl not being able to tolerate any food I give her. They recommended I at least try and ask if any of you have any suggestions.
She's a 9month old GSD Border Collie mix.
Foods she's tried:
In the beginning I had her on (this will be painful because I can't remember the food names, but when I go home at lunch I'll let you know) a chicken based high protein puppy food for large developing puppies.
She had constant soft stools and it progressed to full blown diarrhea and her first bout of colitis.
I tried a 3 fish based food that was grain free, and for all life stages, this took her from bad to worse.
We got the safe-food of Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Moderate to Low Calorie. But it's $90 per 20 pound bag, and is really not super healthy for the price tag. This has been the only food I can use and often switch back to it to settle her before trying a new bag.
My vet recently prescribed me diarrhea meds to help me while I find a new food, I have about 6-10 left.
She was tried on Precise Lamb meal (can't remember if it's grain free or not) seniors diet. This worked well for the entire first bag. Her stool was semi-soft, but seemed to be in good condition. Until I moved to the same brand, but the second bag. She had diarrhea, and problems and is now back on her Royal Canin.
For the last 30 days she's been on a Flora Plus+ probiotic supplement, just for general health as she happens to be constantly on the edge of sickliness (mange, colitis, etc.).
It seems to be that the lower calorie, less rich protein foods work better for her.
Except I don't know what to try next. It's not like any pet food place lets you return a food after you use it for a few weeks trying to transition.
I have a Pet Valu in my town, and a nutritionist who sells food solely based out of Saskatchewan, or foods that haven't been outsourced. He's where I've been going, but given none of his foods seem to be sticking.
So any suggestions? At all...:help:
I would test her for EPI or IBD.
I agree with Michelle, start with that and hopefully you can start getting answers
Try Natural Balance synergy. That worked on my moms dog who had colitis. Its not grain free but has grains that can help
Yes, talk to your vet about EPI - here is some info EPI in Snapshots - EPI * Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency
I have an EPI GSD and a non EPI GSD, they are both feed grain free kibble in the mornings and raw (no dry food) in the evenings.
Couple weeks ago I stopped giving the grain free kibble to my EPI GSD, he gets raw in the mornings and evenings and the change is amazing, within days his gut issues cleared up and he seems more fulfilled.
Just something to think about, maybe ditch the dry kibble and look at either a raw diet or home cooked diet.
I'd prefer if at all possible to stick with a dry or kibble diet with maybe supplements.
So if my dog were to be EPI is this going to be a super expensive life haha?
Can I not just feed my dog as if she is an EPI, regardless?
What I read in your link is grain free, with low fibre food. I mean I need to start her on something.
I'll call my vet about it soon and see when I can make an appointment, but regardless I'd be getting a new food soon.
Didn't think I'd ever recommend Purina, but check out this older thread, several people have used it with their dogs.
It seems to be a common problem with gsds. My dog did really well on one food for a while, then couldn't tolerate it. After several bouts of diarrhea, my vet put him on Science Diet Prescription i/d to rest his gut. It's working amazing well. Then we'll introduce limited foods gradually. I'm going to try Fromm.
we are using Taste of the Wild with Bison /grain free ---- we were using blue buffalo lamb and rice with no issues other than Roxy seemed to get bored with it...besides the fact it looks more like cat size kibble....she seems to like the bigger stuff.

I agree with checking for the issues Jax mentioned first.
Mine is very similar. Really doesn't do well on pretty much any dry food. The only one he really does reliably alright on is Acana. Mine does best on raw. Actual solid stool and no stomach upset. But dry vs. raw will depend on what you are comfortable feeding.
We did try Honest Kitchen recently and it agreed very well with Kaiju. It's a little different than a dry food and may be something to try out.

I finally found that by switching to Google Play Music (CM9 Music is such a CPU hog!) and DSP Manager from this thread fixes things just nicely. No more drop outs and a music player that works properly with all 3 of my BT devices (2 vehicles and a headset).
I'm not sure if the problem was device specific or not, but now it is at least fixed!

Rootzwiki Rules: troll-resistant and flame-retardant
Posted 23 April 2012 - 08:59 PM #16
I am a new member here and a new user of AOKP. I am also a member at XDA. AOKP is in my opinion right on the leading edge o f development. You guys rock.
That being said i have a small issue going on and can't find a solution. I have searched RootxWiki, XDA, Google.
My phone is a Captivate with AOKP B33 with Trusello Community Essentials.
On AOKP my pc does not recognize my external sdcard. On my phone the card is recognized and files are available and usable, no problem there. They are in /emmc. Verified with root explorer.
I've read the FAQ about the fast charging setting...It is not enabled I believe the issue would be different if it was. I re-flashed several times. full wipe always, same result. Tried flash back to B32 same result with or without the Community Essentials. Flashed to stock and both cards are recognized. Flashed Dark Knight 4 and Docs Master ICS V8 both cards are recognized. I feel like I am missing something simple but can't come up with an answer. I did see a post stating that MTP needs to be set in storage>menu but I don't see that setting , I don't get anything when I press menu while in the storage screen. My apologies if this should be posted elsewhere, I wasn't sure it should go to bugtracker, I would have thought it would have been an issue for others already. Hope I can get some help here, doesn't look like this Captivate thread gets a lot of activity/attention but as I stated, I wasn't sure where else to post this.
Thanks any help is appreciated.
EDIT: Just found that there are other users in the Galaxy S forum with the same issue. Surprised that didn't show up when I searched earlier. apparently been an issue since B31 Guess I missed it in the bugtracker.
EDIT: This workaround was mentioned in the Galaxy S forum by jonathan_m84, it did work for me, another user said it did not work for him. YMMV.
"I don't know how to fix this, but you can perform a workaround to access both your SD-cards.
Download the app Multi Mount SD-Card lite from the playstore and install the widget on your home screen."
EDIT: Found this posted by sinichi21 in the Captivate AOKP thread over at XDA.
"you can try to go to cwm and then choose glitch then the USB option there choose the mtp mode see if that will help."
This worked, not quite as expected it sees "USB STORAGE" and "SDCARD" instead of as removable drives no big deal. It showed multiple copies of the folders on the external card. At least the files are accessible by pc now.

1. Doesnt switch over to phone app when someone calls
2. Small glitch in Messaging where sometimes when I type in a message it doesnt show up, and I have to back out the thread.
3 Everytime I reboot, a warning shows up twice saying 'Unfortunately, System UI has stopped working. This has proven true I think as ROM Control isn't properly working
4. Notification bar and status bar are nonexistant.
I have flash this ROM multiple times to fix this, but I've came up with nothing so far. As for #3, I have not experimented too much with ROM Control, might play around with it before flashing to the newest build. If anyone can help explain what's up with these glitches, whether its the ROM that's doing it or if it's my phone, please, help out.

Water safety officials are urging Northlanders to have fun in the water but do what they ought to so that there are no drownings this holiday period.
Last Christmas/New Year's holiday period nine people drowned around the country, including two in Northland and Water Safety New Zealand wants everybody to take more care this festive season.
Chief executive Matt Claridge said on average over the past five years 10 people drown in New Zealand waters each official Christmas holiday period - which this year goes from 4pm Christmas Eve until 6am, January 3.
Mr Claridge said the official Christmas holiday, when people flock to rivers, lakes and beaches around the country, is historically a high-risk time. And Northland, with more than 1700km of coastline, with the coasts only 7.5km apart at its narrowest and tourists flocking to the region, is a high risk area.
"In Northland, as everywhere, we need small children to be actively supervised by their parents, caregivers or other adults at all times around water and you need to be totally conscious and aware of any water hazards.
Children are naturally curious and love water," he said.
"Another group we are appealing to are the males, aged from 20 to 60, who go fishing, boating, diving and swimming and don't follow the basic safety rules, like wearing lifejackets, telling people where you are going and when you will be back and those that go swimming alone.
"They are the ones that like to go out and have a bit of fun at the expense of some safety considerations."
Lifejackets must be worn in boats in Northland, he said, and it was the responsibility of a skipper to ensure all people on the vessel had adequate lifejackets.
Mr Claridge says five people have drowned in Northland so far this year, and while the numbers are down on the same time last year, it's still too high.

|Recchi on D&H: 'It would be a big boost getting [Savard] back'
|04.20.10 at 2:31 pm ET
Bruins forward Mark Recchi, one of the heroes of Monday night's Game 3 victory over the Sabres, joined the Dale & Holley show Tuesday afternoon. Recchi said teammate Marc Savard has been skating longer than the two days that the media found out about this week, and he's hopeful Savard will return to action soon.
"He actually texted me last week and told me he was actually sneaking on the ice, so I knew it," Recchi said. "He swore my secrecy, so I wasn't allowed to to say it. I didn't even tell any of my teammates. So, I knew he was getting eager and feeling good. It's great to see him out there. He's had a couple of hard days of practice [on his own]. I don't think he likes being out there by himself right now, but hopefully we'll see him in practice here soon and get him back in the lineup."
Asked if he thought Savard might return by the end of the Sabres series, Recchi said: "I'm not sure. We're the last guys to hear when he's going to play. Like I said, he's been practicing before us, and he hasn't been there after. I'm not really sure. The longer it goes, obviously the chances get better, because he is feeling good and he is skating. By the end of this week he'll have a full week of skating in. So, who knows? … Obviously, it's going to come down the coach as well, if things are going well, when do you put him in, when's the right time to do it? Obviously, he's a tremendous player, and it would be a big boost getting him back."
As for his own future, Recchi said he feels like he still has some hockey left in his 42-year-old body. "I still love the game, I still love the practice, I still love everything about it, and being in the dressing room with the guys," Recchi said. "So, at the end of the season I'll sit down. Obviously, I think I can still play and still help. It's just a matter of figuring out everything at the end of the year and figuring out what's best for me and my family."
Recchi was asked about rookie goaltender Tuukka Rask, who has developed into a young star. Said Recchi: "He's right there with all them. This kid is a world-class goalie. His composure for a 22, 23-year-old is incredible. … He made the big saves all year when we needed them, and he continues to do it."
Recchi said Rask does not get taken out of his game even when he allows a goal. "It doesn't faze him one bit," Recchi said. "He's a very, very competitive kid. He knows, he gets upset at himself, but he's able to put it aside. … Game 2 in Buffalo, he battled like a bugger. You don't see it too often, but you could see he was fighting it a little bit, he was fighting the puck. But when a goalie competes as hard as he does and fights it and battles it and is able to make the big saves really when you don't feel great is a great sign for a young goalie. He came out and we had a great win. And then he was awesome again [Monday] night."
Recchi reflected on the Bruins' revenge game against the Penguins March 18 when the fans booed the B's off the ice. "We were kind of disappointed in the way we played because we came out of that seven-game trip just before that playing great hockey and we really seemed to get more consistent," Recchi said. "We found a way to be a tougher team to play against every night and a team that is committed to being better. That's why we went on that good stretch — 8-3-1 in our last 12 games or whatever — to get ourselves in a good position for the playoffs."

Ukiah Daily Journal
This Friday and Saturday, The Ukiah High Girls Varsity Softball Team will host its annual Varsity Softball Tournament. It will be the Wildcats' final pre-league action before North Bay League play starts next week.
As the host of the seven-team tournament, they will have a bye on Friday, while the other six teams will see action, with three games being played at 4 p.m., Friday at Ukiah High.
On the Varsity field, Maria Carrillo will play Cloverdale. On the middle field, Windsor will be matched up with Fort Bragg. On the JV field, Montgomery will play El Molino.
On Saturday action will start at 10 a.m. with a second-round game will be played in the loser's bracket at 10 a.m. At noon there will be a full slate of games, with two winners' bracket games and one losers' bracket game. Ukiah will play in one of the winner's bracket games on the Varsity Field.
There will be more games at 2 p.m. and then the Tournament Championship Game and the Consolation Championship games at 4 p.m.
According to weather forecasts, both days will offer nearly perfect ball-playing weather, with temperatures in the low 70's and light breezes. Concessions will be provided. Come out and enjoy some quality high school softball action.
The Wildcats finally have all team members active after the extended playoff run of the Wildcats Varsity Basketball Team. The tournament will provide the team one more opportunity to work with a full squad and finalize lineups before league play begins. They were scheduled to play at Sonoma Valley High yesterday.
This past Saturday was the Wildcats' first game with a full roster. Their opponent was the always-tough Petaluma Trojans. The Trojans, living up to that reputation, scored 5 runs in the top of the first and never trailed in a game that they won by a final score of 11-3.
As Ukiah Coach Gary Venturi would later comment on after the game, the Wildcats suffered some defensive letdowns in the first inning and at other times in the game that gave the Trojans some extra outs with which to work. Inconsistent play in the field has hampered the Wildcats thus far in the early-season play.
Petaluma, who can generate runs without help, opened the game with singles by Brie Gerhardt and Emily O'Keefe. An field error loaded the bases with a run scoring. The next batter, Joelle Krist, drove the three runners home with a triple. Miranda Swanson followed with a single to drive in Krist, still with no outs.
The Trojans sent four more runners to the plate in the inning, three were retired on grounders, on reaching base on another infield error, but no more runs score.
Against Petaluma starter Sara Moore, who was not overpowering, the Wildcats made contact but were retired in order in the bottom of the first two ground balls and a liner to right.
Another infield error on a grounder by the leadoff batter put a runner on base in the top of the second put a runner on base. But Wildcats' starter Adriana Van Camp retired the next three batters on ground balls to short than then a long fly ball to right which was hauled in by right fielder Jasmine Falgout with a nice catch with her arm extended.
The Wildcats got their first base runner in the second on one-out single by Lizz Brown, but she was thrown out trying to advance on a pitch in the dire.
Swanson led off the third with a double, but she, too, was thrown out, by catcher Monica Ray, when Swanson tried to advance on a pitch in the dirt.
The Wildcats got some help from the Petaluma defense in the bottom of inning to score a couple runs. First baseman Rylie Loflin hit a one-out double to left center and scored when the next batter hit a liner to the right fielder who had the ball glance off her glove. Loflin then scored on a grounder to third, with the third baseman throwing the batter out at first, but then letting the throw back to third get by her when Loflin tried to advance on the play.
With those two runs, Ukiah was back in game, trailing by just the 5-2 score.
Given some run support by her teammates and good play in the field, Van Camp pitched a 1-2-3 top of the fourth retiring the side on the ground balls, the second a comebacker.
But Ukiah could only manage a two-out walk by Falgout in the bottom of the inning.
The Trojans got more help from the Ukiah defense in the top of the fifth. They got a leadoff single to right. With one out, a shallow fly ball was dropped, putting runners at the corners.
The trail runner stole second. That brought up Swanson who drove in her third and fourth runs of the game with a double to left. She then scored on a single by Cassie Baddely. The side was then retired but Petaluma had another 5-run lead.
The Wildcats got one run back in the bottom of the inning when third basean Kaylah Pardini lined a two-out home run over the left field fence.
But Petaluma countered with two more runs in the top of the sixth, getting three singles, including one by Swanson drive in the two runs and Ukiah contributing another error.
Ukiah went down in order against Moore in bottom of the inning. Loflin pitched the top of the seventh, yielding a run on a walk and single, but also striking out two batters.
The Wildcats, down to their last three outs in the bottom of the inning, got some action going. Danielle Ward lined a lead-off single to center. Loflin drew a one-out walk. Pardini drew a two-out walk to load the bases. But the side was retired and the game ended with a ground ball to second, Petaluma winning by the final score of 11-3.
Coach Venturi was not pleased that his team continued to play less than stellar defense. "We made way too many errors against a good team. In the first inning we gave them three (unearned runs). We don't give them any in the second, third and fourth. But in the fifth we give them a couple more. We make too many errors. At this level they come back to bite you. Hopefully we'll play a little bit more consistently now that we have everybody back. We're going to put the best nine girls that can play defense on the field. That's what we have to do. The hitting has been fine."
