FitSleep is more than a sleep tracker – accurately logging your heart rate, respirate rate, body movements, sleep patterns, etc. It is also your personal lullaby that uses alpha waves to gently send you to sleep.
We get it, sleeping can be hard, but it doesn't have to be.
We created FitSleep to attack all the problem areas found in the typical sleeper. Whether you have trouble falling asleep, trouble waking up, or just want to find ways to improve your sleep health, we have the features to fit your needs.
FitSleep α 1 emits 0-13Hz waves during light sleep, speeding up the transformation to deep sleep, hence increasing sleep efficiency.
Our research showed most testers take less time to fall asleep and reach the deep sleep phase faster when they are being lulled by modulated alpha waves. Read more about the science behind Alpha wave.
Learn more about our research result.
When it comes to measuring your sleep, there is no room for error. Accuracy was one of the top priorities in the development of the FitSleep device. Every feature of the device is reliant on accuracy.
FitSleep's accuracy is comparable to the medical sleep monitor. This allows us to better pinpoint problem areas, and help you achieve a more restful night's sleep.
* FitSleep recruited 200 volunteers from three different venues to test the device's accuracy against the Medical Sleep Monitor. The data presented was randomly chosen from the 200 samples collected throughout the study.
Once you get your FitSleep device, it's all about you. All the information the device learns about you over its lifetime will be compiled and stored in the cloud.
After analysis of your sleeping patterns and vital signs, FitSleep will construct a personalized sleeping report and provide tips to try to help you to achieve a better night's sleep. Our team worked with professionals in the medical world and with numerous scholars to provide you with the best sleep advice possible.
Simply slide FitSleep under your pillow, mattress, or even couch cushion and you'll never know it's there. Even when the device is right under your pillow you won't even feel a bump.
FitSleep was designed to never disturb your sleep.
Waking up drowsy is one of the worst feelings to start your day. We'd all love to just hit the snooze button, roll over and head back to sleep.
With FitSleep, you can say goodbye to drowsy mornings. After learning more about your sleep phases, you can set your alarm in the FitSleep app to wake you during a light sleep for a more natural wakeup.
Let's face it, our heads are pretty heavy. If you're going to be sliding FitSleep under your pillow or mattress it needs to be able to take a beating, and it can. Whether its kids jumping on the bed, animals running around, and the repetition of your head hitting the pillow, your FitSleep will continue operating through it all.
FitSleep's battery will last for 30 nights of continuous use.. You can grab an entire month of sleep data after charging the device just one time.
All of this packed into one device? Sounds like a pretty hefty load, but FitSleep is not much bigger than your phone. So no matter where you go, or where you choose to sleep, FitSleep is ready to go with you.
We know how important your loved ones are to you, and that's why we made it easy to stay connected with them. Now you can be there without really being there.
Using the FitSleep companion app you can pair your mobile device with a loved one's FitSleep device and monitor their sleeping statistics from afar. You will also be able to receive alerts if your loved one isn't sleeping well, or if FitSleep has detected an abnormality in their sleep.
Also, if you and your significant other both have a FitSleep device, you never have to worry about the readings being off. FitSleep will only monitor the sleep of the person directly above it, so each of you will receive an accurate readout.
Here is an overall comparison with other sleep trackers on the market:
Applying the latest in production technologies we have created a device that is both smart and extremely durable –
The idea for FitSleep came about a few years ago when our founder Xuan was just a college student. We developed an energy harvest to collect environmental vibrations caused by oscillation, and we thought "what if we could make this smaller and use it to monitor vital signs of human beings?" So, we began to test and build several prototypes – which later came together to form FitSleep.
We see crowdfunding as a great opportunity for FitSleep to reach the masses, and to help improve the sleep of those who use it. One third of our life is spent in bed, and there is a need for products that improve our sleep without disturbing it. Healthy sleep is the foundation of an energetic and health life, so we worked hard to make sure FitSleep reduces the time it takes to fall asleep and increases the deep sleep phase.
FitSleep, Your Bedtime Bliss.
Please support us and get your FitSleep today!
1. What inspired the FitSleep device?
We looked at a baby cradle, and our minds started thinking of ways to improve sleep. From there we looked at what can help people fall asleep more easily, that's when the alpha wave caught our attention. After learning how alpha waves can help people to fall asleep, we knew it was something we had to include in our product. Finally, we ended up with a product that not only helps you fall asleep, but helps you to learn more about your sleep through monitoring with the ultimate goal of improving your health.
2. Can FitSleep be used to monitor naps?
Of course you can use our device to monitor your naps! We are working on improving this function and plan to release an update with the next version of the companion app. FitSleep uses biological materials to monitor your breathing, heart and respiratory rate, and your sleep stage and length.
3. Is FitSleep comparable to medical sleep monitoring equipment?
Yes, FitSleep monitors your sleep with more than 95% accuracy, similar to the professional monitoring equipment that costs thousands of dollars at the doctor's office.
4. Does FitSleep emit radiation, and is it safe?
The safety of our device has always been at the forefront of our research. After numerous rounds of testing, we can guarantee your safety while using the FitSleep device. FitSleep has passed all major international certifications including the FCC, CE, and ROH. We hope our device can bring you a sleep without worry, especially when it comes to your safety.
5. Is FitSleep easy to operate even for those who aren't tech savvy?
We built FitSleep with the customer in mind, and wanted to make sure anyone, no matter what age or level of tech experience, would be able to use it.
6. Does FitSleep work well with multiple people sleeping in the same bed?
To accurately monitor multiple people sleeping in the same bed, you will need a device for each person. That way, the sleep of your partner does not interfere the information gathered by your device.
7. What is the life of the FitSleep device?
FitSleep should work consistently for five years. Just slide it under your pillow or cushion and let it go to work.
8. Who provides the sleep advice on the companion app?
Some outstanding doctors joined our team as consultants and they provide sleep expertise, which we combine with information from the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Gathering all of that information together, we create a tailored sleep quality analysis to help improve your sleep.
9. If I need to use a new device will my data from the old device be lost?
Absolutely not. All of your sleeping statistics will be stored on the companion app and will not be lost when transferring to a new device.
10. Will the FitSleep app work with my smartphone?
The FitSleep companion app is compatible with iOS 8 and up, and Android 4.3 and up.

Iris Classon explains her decision to become a software programmer and shares the amazing amount she was able to learn in a very short period of time. Learn how agility played an invaluable role in the process and how you, too, can achieve software success.
Noel: Hello, this is Noel Wurst from TechWell. I am speaking with Iris Classon, who is going to be giving a keynote address at the Better Software/Agile Development Conference East in Boston, Massachusetts, on Thursday, November 14th, and the keynote is titled "Learning to be a Developer—From Day One."
How are you today, Iris?
Iris: I'm good, thank you.
Noel: Great! I was really excited about doing this interview because I feel like it's not the normal keynote that they have. It's not usually a tale that's stretched out into an entire keynote, but I figure there's probably a really decent story behind it, so I was really curious as to what made you specifically want to become a developer and how you kind of hit the ground running once you made that decision.
Iris: Oh, how long of a time do we have?
Noel: Oh, as long as you want to talk about it now, without spilling everything that you'll talk about during the keynote.
Iris: Yes. I probably won't say much about what I'm going to say during the keynote.
Noel: Sure.
Iris: In regards to how I made my choice, I've been working as a clinical and licensed dietician and personal trainer for several years. I get that question a lot, why I chose to get into programming and, well, software development.
The best way I can describe it is actually something I learned this summer. I was scuba-diving and I got my rescue diver certificate. I'm working towards master diver. I learned some new concepts that really, well, kind of describe my situation before I started programming.
What I learned during my rescue diver course is that there aren't any accidents due to running out of air, because an accident is a mishap. It's something unforeseen, an unforeseen event, and running out of oxygen is not unforeseen. You can certainly foresee that's going to happen in various ways. All accidents in scuba-diving can be traced back to one first bad decision that in turn led to another bad decision and so on, and that kind of formed event. That's kind of what happened to me.
When I was 15, 16, I'd been preoccupied with just getting into liking boys and just hanging out with my friends at the shopping mall and everything, and suddenly I had to grow up and just make a decision what I wanted to do with the rest of my life when it was time to decide on high school and college. I felt kind of forced to choose something. My options were, at the time, as I saw them, hair care or health.
Instead of exploring other options, kind of forcing myself to see if there were any other options, I just went with health. I was young, full of energy—I had plenty of oxygen in my tank and I had to use it for something. I kind of decided that, OK, out of those three options, I would go for health.
The problem is, it's kind of like doing an unplanned dive. You dive in with your oxygen but you have no plan, you don't know your equipment. If you don't feel comfortable, you're going to hyperventilate and you're going to use all your oxygen, but you're not going to notice. You going to notice at the end, but you're at the bottom, and that's when accidents happen.
For me, it was kind of a domino effect. I started studying nutrition and very early on felt like I didn't fit in. I was a square peg trying to fit into a round hole. And instead of trying to find other places I could fit in, I was just trying to shave off the corners of the square, trying to fit into that round hole, and I started trying other areas in nutrition: "What about natural medicine? What about clinical nutrition? What about personal training? What about that?" because I didn't want to admit that I had taken the wrong dive and I was completely unprepared. I didn't want to go back up.
I stayed down so long until I literally ran out of air. I just crashed smack into a wall. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, I couldn't talk. I just was completely burned out that I tried so hard to make nutrition be my thing, but I just didn't fit in, not with the people, not with the job. I just didn't fit in.
What I did is I sat down and said, When you have an accident, when something happens during a dive, you go up. Slowly, you go up. Well, even if you drown, sooner or later you will float up, you know?
You go up, you go up on the boat, you put down all your equipment, and you analyze what went wrong. That's what I did. As I was looking through my equipment, my equipment is me: What am I good at, what can I do? I wrote everything down. That's when I looked at, OK, which dive sites are perfect for me? That means what kind of jobs would fit me.
I wrote a list of all the jobs I could think of in the whole wide world, those that I could think of. Obviously there are quite a few, so it was a long list. I started matching what I was good at with the jobs, and at the end, I only had technical jobs left, something I had never, ever, ever considered before. You can do any dive with pretty much any equipment, but it's going to make such a big difference if you had the right equipment and the right dive site and it's perfect for you.
That's what I found with programming. It was kind of random, while it wasn't.

Large fire in Somers could have been caused by pellet stovePosted: Updated:
A pellet stove is believed to be the cause of a morning fire at home in Somers Tuesday morning that caused a woman to have to evacuate her house.
The woman initially called dispatch and stated that flames were coming from the pellet stove at her residence on Battle Street before 7:30 a.m.
Fire officials said she quickly re-dialed dispatch as the fire started fanning out across the house.
"We got a second call back stating the fire was extending up into the wall," said Somers Deputy Fire Chief Frank Falcone. "First crews got there, removed the occupant, she was hysterical. She didn't want to leave."
Everyone inside the home was able to make it out safely.
According to fire officials, the fire moved from the living room to the hallway and then finally into the kitchen. Crews were able to stop the fire before it climbed into the attic.
As for the cause, investigators spent Tuesday morning poring over a number of parts from the pellet stove. They said when the temperatures drop, these types of calls go up.
"Particularly when it's cold and with the high cost of fuel, everyone is using alternative fuel methods," Falcone said. "It appears it started in the vicinity of the pellet stove. We're still investigating. At this point it appears accidental as well."
Because there is some structural damage inside, the house is off limits for now. However, Eyewitness News has learned that the homeowner is staying with family.
One person at the fire told Eyewitness News that he is happy that everyone got out safe.
"One of my friends gave me the address and I was like 'Oh my God, that's my mom's house,'" said David Senter. "I ran over here, just got crazy."

What can I say, CandyCane Inc's Fling (.99) is an awesome app! Though I have almost no time to myself, I often find when I'm stuck trying to solve a problem at work, or with my dissertation, I'll sort of mindlessly open up Fling and start playing – after awhile I get my mind back into problem solving mode and put it away – so far I've made it to level 7.
How the game works is you choose the mode (style) of game and the level of difficulty you want to start with, lets say easy, and you're given a 7 x 8 grid (actually turf) starting with three Fling critters which can be flicked by your finger along the grid in a straight line, only. The object is to bump other critters off the board until you have none left. As you might be imagining now, the more of these critters there are scattered around the grid the more challenging it becomes to bump them off since you have to look ahead many moves. I love it!

It would not be unfair to say it follows in the footsteps of other classic problem solving games like Tetris, or even Chess, albeit with fuzzy little ball type electronic critters.
It is very hard to go wrong with this game, it's addictive, it's inexpensive, it's well laid out on the screen. If you're the type of person who's not into the shoot-em-up type games and want something more oriented towards exercising your brain, this is a great app!

Cardinals beloved Musial dies Saturday at 92
ST. LOUIS Stan Musial, one of baseballs greatest hitters and a Hall of Famer with the St. Louis Cardinals for more than two decades, has died. He was 92.
Stan the Man won seven National League batting titles, was a three-time MVP and helped the Cardinals capture three World Series championships in the 1940s.
The Cardinals announced Musials death in a news release. They said he died Saturday evening at his home surrounded by family.
Musial was so revered in St. Louis, two statues of him stand outside Busch Stadium. He spent his entire 22-year career with the Cardinals and made the All-Star team 24 times baseball held two All-Star games each summer for a few seasons.
A pitcher in the low minors until he injured his arm, Musial turned to playing the outfield and first base. It was a stroke of luck for him, as he went on to hit .331 with 475 home runs before retiring in 1963.
Musial never struck out 50 times in a season. He led the NL in most every hitting category for at least one year, except homers. He hit a career-high 39 home runs in 1948, falling one short of winning the Triple Crown.
In all, Musial held 55 records when he retired in 1963.
Of his 3,630 hits, Musial got exactly 1,815 at home and exactly 1,815 on the road. He also finished with 1,951 RBIs and scored 1,949 runs.
Orioles manager Earl Weaver gets his final ejection at 82
BALTIMORE Earl Weaver always was up for an argument, especially with an umpire.
At the slightest provocation, the Earl of Baltimore would spin his hat back, point his finger squarely at an umps chest and then fire away. The Hall of Fame manager even would tangle with his own players, if necessary.
The notoriously feisty Hall of Fame manager died at age 82 on a Caribbean cruise associated with the Orioles, his marketing agent said Saturday.
Weaver took the Orioles to the World Series four times over 17 seasons but won only one title, in 1970. His .583 winning percentage ranks fifth among managers who served 10 or more seasons in the 20th century.
Weaver was ejected 91 times, including once in both games of a doubleheader. He entered the hall in 1996. His ejections were overshadowed by his five 100-win seasons, six AL East titles and four pennants.
World Cup Ski Racing
Innerhofer wins downhill; Clarey sets speed record
WENGEN, Switzerland Christof Innerhofer of Italy won the classic Lauberhorn downhill Saturday, and Johan Clarey of France set a World Cup speed record of 100.6 mph.
Innerhofer timed 2 minutes, 29.82 seconds down the 2.74-mile course, the longest on the World Cup program.
Klaus Kroell of Austria was second, 0.30 seconds behind, while teammate Hannes Reichelt was 0.76 back in third.
Clarey, who placed fifth, clocked the fastest speed recorded in competition in the 46-year history of the World Cup.
Vonn is back on top, wins her first downhill in five weeks
CORTINA DAMPEZZO, Italy Lindsey Vonn showed shes back in form Saturday, winning a World Cup downhill for her first victory in more than five weeks.
The four-time overall champion defeated overall leader Tina Maze by nearly a half-second.
Vonn, who recently took 27 days off to regain her strength from an intestinal illness, clocked 1 minute, 38.25 seconds down the sun-drenched Olympia delle Tofane course.
Maze finished second, 0.43 seconds behind, and Vonns American teammate Leanne Smith was third, 0.89 back.

Fresh from CLAS Education, One Alumnus Finds Med School and Residency an Enjoyable Interlude on the Way to Her Calling
This semester nearly eight hundred students are studying in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences with the goal of going on to a graduate level medical program. Whether they are pre-medical, pre-pharmacy, pre-nursing, pre-physical therapy or another pre-health specialization, many of them are drawn to the downtown campus because they are looking forward to applying to the University of Colorado programs on the Anschutz Medical campus.
With so many students vying for so few positions the competition can be fierce, and only the most qualified applicants advance. Anna Neumeier, now in her second year of residency at the University of California San Francisco, represents the success story that these hundreds of students aspire to replicate.
"I think that the commuter campus really fosters independent learning -- which is an important skill for people thinking about going into med school to develop," Neumeier posits. "I think that there has to be a lot more initiative when you have to drive to school. And then you are in class with people of all ages, with people who have had entire careers, and so that level of professionalism in the classroom fosters a fantastic environment. Though I was in class only a couple times a week, that time was very rich -- I actually didn't really realize until I was in medical school how valuable that would be."
Neumeier started her undergrad career at Smith College, a private, independent, women's liberal arts college in Northampton, Massachusetts. Uncertain if she would pursue her passion for dance or her life-long interest in medicine, Neumeier spent her first two years studying both. After moving back to Denver in 2002 she got a job in an emergency room and started taking some introductory level classes at Metro, "I really liked the urban campus, but I wanted a program with a little more academic rigor and reputation, so I decided to transfer to CU Denver. At that point I decided I definitely wanted to go on to medical school, so I chose the major I thought would best prepare me -- which was Biology with a minor in Chemistry, and then I did another minor in Spanish as well because I felt that that would be important."
Not daunted by the difficulty of her major and minors, she flourished with each new challenge. "Some of the upper division biology classes I took at CU Denver were actually more difficult than some of the entry level classes I had in medical school. I just felt really prepared." She credits specifically Dr. Kent Nofsinger's "intense" anatomy class and Dr. Michael Green's "exceptional" physiology class as being her best preparations. "They really encouraged students to delve in and really understand the science – which was a great foundation for my future studies."
She also credits the pre-health advising staff, including Dr. Nofsinger and Dr. Charles Ferguson, with helping to prepare her for her success. "They are very realistic. Medical school is extremely competitive, they know that to get in you not only need good grades, but you need to have a background in either research or volunteer and work exposure in the health care field, and they explicitly say that. So if you aren't ready, they don't have you waste your time applying. They will make sure you do the work you need, and they help you connect and figure that out. They are honest and supportive and tell you just what you need to do. "
For Neumeier, what made the most sense to gain that outside-the-classroom competitive edge was getting a job as an EMT and continuing to work in emergency rooms. She was so strong academically that in her last year of school she also worked at a tutor in the Learning Resource Center, helping struggling students gain a grasp on the difficult curriculum she herself had mastered. She graduated with distinction and Magna Cum Laude honors from the Biology department in December 2005, and with University of Colorado as her first choice for MD programs her transition to the Anschutz Medical campus was one she describes as easy. "I felt extremely well prepared. I had the study skills and the discipline to keep up with the classes, and it was great. I loved medical school. I was finally doing what I had wanted to all these years."
"Once you're in medical school there is a community to support you and get you thorough, so I thought it was a good challenge and I enjoyed medical school tremendously." She says choosing her specialty was the hardest part of medical school; ultimately, she decided to go into internal medicine. She is now in a residency program in internal medicine at the University of California San Francisco, where she puts in eighty hours weeks. It's not as dramatic as you see on television, she says, but that doesn't mean there aren't challenges. "Days go by very quickly, you are caring for a lot of patients, some of whom are really very sick, so your time flies. There's no life or death situations every ten minutes, but every fifth night there can be a 28 hour long shift. You build your stamina, and you build up to that... and after all, residency is only three years."
Neumeier says her time in the third and fourth year of medical school doing clinical rotations helped prepare her well for her current challenges. "You experience the long days on the ward, and then you rotate onto specialty services, to help you make decisions about specializing. University of Colorado Hospital students also get experience at Denver Heath, the county hospital – and that's exposure to underserved populations – and the VA Medical Center, to serve returning vets." Neumeier says that kind of diverse training makes University of Colorado medical students highly sought after when it comes time to apply to residency programs. UC San Francisco was her first choice, and she believes most of her cohort got into their first choice of programs as well.
Now that she is practicing medicine she says the patients are the best part of her job, "Working in San Francisco I see a diverse group of patients, from new immigrants to computer company CEOs. The breadth and depth of what I'm getting to do is really great. And then also I'm working with the County Hospital again here, so I get to serve a lower-income population, and the VA hospital where I serve the vets, like I did in Denver -- so I really love the diversity of the patients that I'm caring for."
The best advice Neumeier can give students hoping to get into medical school is simple: "It's a long process, but it's 100% worthwhile, and each step in the process is vital to becoming a physician. Enjoy your pre-med classes, enjoy your clinical or research experience – get some exposure so that you can know what you're getting yourself into and that that you enjoy it." She emphasizes, "You should enjoy it, because that would mean that you're meant to be in medicine. If you really don't like the classes and you don't like working in the hospitals – that's a sign."
Neumeier would love to come back home for the next step in her career, "I want to come back to Colorado, I grew up there." She will start applying in July for fellowships in cardiology or pulmonary critical care medicine, and she says University of Colorado Hospital will again be at the top of her list. Looking back on her experiences in CLAS, Neumeier sums it up neatly, "I knew coming-in what I wanted to do, and CU Denver made it possible for me to do that."

What will it cost to start a food truck business? Unless you're independently wealthy the question of funding is likely to be one of if not the most significant challenge early in your mobile food company's story. Your beginning funding will determine whether your culinary dreams lives up to its potential or fizzles out when customers fail to show up at the expected volume.
That said, there's a surprising range of views on how a food truck startup should plan its early life. In my conversations with food truck owners, I've learned that even among the most successful, one can find very divergent views on how to fund a new food truck. In general, these opinions can be divided into two basic categories.
What Does It Really Cost To Start A Food Truck Business?
The first school of thought holds that you should raise as much cash as humanly possible. This means hitting up other people, whether they're angel investors, or members of your family. You can also try finding government grants, taking out loans, saving up beforehand, (maxing out your credit cards or even draining your personal retirement accounts are additional options…but never recommended). Can you raise too much? Sure you can, but according to this school of thought, you should just proceed to spend what you raise if you don't have enough money, ensuring that your fledgling food truck can survive even if takes a long period of time to build up your customer base.
Most of the truck owners I've had the opportunity to speak with don't align themselves in this camp due to the fact that they are unable to raise a lot of capital without having to give majority ownership in their mobile food company away. The more common occurrence is the one that holds that you should carefully estimate your initial costs and ongoing burn rate for one year to a year and a half, then attempt to raise enough money to last that period of time. When you're six months from running out of cash, start planning to raise more, with the amount of the second funding round determined by how far away profitability appears to be.
If you belong to this second group, you can begin making a few more intelligent predictions about how much you'll need. Networking within local food truck owners can get you some good advice from peers, which together with your own calculations on initial costs (rental of commissary space, the truck itself, equipment in your kitchen and staff wages) will help produce what seems like a good figure.
Got your figure? Good. Now add 10 to 20 percent. That's the figure that I've seen as the average cost overrun for dozens of food truck projects that have started over the last 5 years. While this may seem like a large amount of additional investment, it is a good way to deal with one of the most common errors a start up food trucks can run into: Nothing will unfold the way you plan. And in a startup food truck business, your only safety net is your cash reserves.

We've tightened our belts during the downturn, but that's no reason to miss out on the gift-giving cheer this holiday season.
A gift from the kitchen is more special than any gift you can purchase, so why not put on your apron, roll up your sleeves and turn your kitchen into a workshop for some sweet treats?
Here are some simple recipes to get your started.
They use uncomplicated ingredients that are as easy to do for the giver as they are for the recipient to make.
Happy holidays!
MCT News Service
Getting started
•Any kind of jar will do, but wide-mouth canning jars work best.
•Blend the flour, baking powder and soda or salt in a bowl before adding to the jar.
•Pack ingredients in as tightly as possible. Place the ingredients in the jar and press down with a utensil with a fairly wide, flat bottom so the ingredients lose some volume and the ingredients fit in the jar.
•Careful packing is key, but if you can't get all the ingredients into the jar, put them in a zip-close bag and attach them to the jar as part of the decoration.
•The layers will stand out most if you pack the highly contrasting items next to each other.
•White sugar will seep down, so it is better to put white sugar below other ingredients. All-purpose flour and cocoa also have the same seeping problem.
•Include a card listing the recipe's ingredients and baking/cooking instructions, and another card with the entire recipe.
•Start with fresh ingredients. That way, the person receiving the gift can wait a few months to use them. These mixes, if stored in a dry and dark place, should last six months or longer.
•If the mix contains nuts, it should be used sooner, ideally within three months.
Each recipe has two sets of instructions. The "Jar instructions" are for the giver, and the "Card instructions" are for the recipient and should be attached to the gift jar.
•Clip the entire recipe and include it.
•Use the "For jar ingredients" to fill jar.
•Write the name of the recipe, the "For card ingredients" and the "Card instructions" on a card and attach it to the jar neck with ribbon or to the body of the jar with colored string.
•Use the "Jar instructions" to layer the ingredients.
•To decorate, use scissors to cut a
•9-inch-diameter circle from calico. Place over lid and secure with a rubber band. Tie on a raffia or ribbon bow to cover the rubber band.
•You don't need special equipment. Putting gift mixes together can be as simple as putting all the ingredients in a resealable bag and adding instructions.
Ingredients for jar:
•4 cups oatmeal
•1/2 cup wheat germ
•1/2 cup coconut
•1/2 cup almonds, chopped
•1/2 cup peanuts
•1/2 cup each dried raisins,
•cranberries and pitted dates
Ingredients for card:
•1 tablespoon vanilla extract
•1/2 cup oil or melted butter
•1/2 cup honey or pure maple syrup
Jar instructions: Layer oatmeal, wheat germ, coconut and nuts in a
2-quart jar. Place dried fruit in a plastic bag. Place bag of dried fruit on top. Close lid. Include instructions for baking.
Card instructions: Heat oven to
300 degrees. Line two baking sheets with rims with parchment paper. Measure honey, oil and vanilla. Whisk. Pour over dry ingredients and mix until dry ingredients are thoroughly moistened. Use your hands if necessary. Pour onto baking sheets and bake 40 minutes or until cereal is evenly toasted. Halfway through baking, stir cereal and put bottom pan on top rack and top pan on bottom rack. Remove granola from oven, allow to cool, then add dried fruit. Store in airtight container.
Makes: About 7 cups

On-court cat fight
Wildcats ease past Tigers in five games
Fruita Monument moved into the top 10 of the Class 5A state rankings and has become the volleyball team to beat this year in the Southwestern League.
Grand Junction went after the Wildcats from the start Tuesday night and pushed the match to a fifth game before the Wildcats persevered for a 29-31, 25-16, 25-16, 21-25, 15-9 victory at Fruita Monument High School.
"I thought it was a good start for us," Fruita Monument senior Jordan Eatwell said. "Junction definitely brought it. We weren't expecting it. They brought a different game than what we saw at the (Regis) tournament (two weekends ago)."
Eatwell is one of nine seniors on the Wildcats, who shared the Southwestern League title with Durango last year.
MacKenzie Schuller led the Wildcats with 19 kills and two blocks. Eatwell had 15 kills, two blocks and 22 digs. Loryn Chiapuzio had 25 digs, and Savannah Ashmore had 53 assists.
"It's different for us this year," Fruita coach Bob Richardson said. "I'm trying to convince the girls we're the team to knock off. We shared the conference last year with Durango. It's different when you're the team everybody's trying to knock off.
"I wasn't sure we were handling it or not until the end of it. We got ranked in a couple of polls this week. We're trying not to let it go to our head."
Grand Junction believed it could win and played like it.
"I'm really proud of the way the girls played," Tigers coach Shawna Emmons said. "It's disappointing to lose, but I think we're going to surprise some teams this year. We're tougher than we have been in several years."
Courtney Gopinath led Grand Junction with 13 kills and four aces. Aleah Quast had 25 digs. Tia Wright had three blocks.
The Tigers' effort and the atmosphere provided by a solid student-body attendance and participation may have been more than the Wildcats expected.
Grand Junction (3-2, 0-1 SWL) took a 7-3 lead in Game 1 behind kills from Sierra Coutts, Wright and Gopinath.
"It was nerve-racking for all of us," Eatwell said. "We were all excited and pumped, especially since it was Junction."
The Wildcats (5-1, 1-0 SWL) settled down to string together five consecutive points for a brief 8-7 lead and turned the first game into a fight to the finish. Fruita went on a 6-1 run late to serve for the game. The Wildcats, though, hit the serve long, continuing the game. Each team had three game points before Grand Junction's Kayla Roberts served an ace to win the first game 31-29.
Fruita took control of the second game, jumping to a 7-1 lead mostly with the aid of Grand Junction hitting errors. The Wildcats closed the second game with a 9-3 run.
Grand Junction responded with a 5-1 start to the third game, but the Wildcats came back to win five of six points to keep the Tigers close. The teams exchanged leads two more times before Fruita's 11-2 run to take the game.
The teams exchanged leads four times in the fourth game before Grand Junction went on a 5-2 run to take a 13-10 lead. The Wildcats kept it close before Grand Junction finished with a 5-2 run.
Both teams made a couple of early errors in the fifth game before Fruita went on a 7-1 run for a 9-4 lead. The Wildcats closed the match with a 5-0 run.
"Thankfully, they started (the fifth game) off with an error," Richardson said. "Maybe the experience helped us out. We've been in big games before."

Watch: Dwyane Wade wore three different outfits at his own wedding
Dwyane Wade confessed to "Late Night" host Seth Meyers Wednesday that he - and not his wife Gabrielle Union - was in charge of the small details of his own wedding, which included three outfits and two wardrobe changes.
Wade, who called himself a "Groomzilla" and noted that he paid for the wedding instead of Union's father, explained that he viewed the marriage ceremony as being about two people, not just the bride.
"So you know how they say the wedding is about the woman? No, no. It is about both of us. So I came out to my own song, had my own moment. I had three outfit changes. She had three outfit changes," Wade said.
"I wanted to make sure we got our money's worth."
Well, we can't fault the man for getting what he paid for.
• Dwyane Wade says Heat season has been 'awful' at times
What did Wade's last outfit consist of?
"It was a lot less material," he deadpanned.
Thankfully, Meyers left the conversation at that.

Hurricane Rina lost some of its fury Wednesday but held course for a direct hit on Mexico's popular Caribbean beaches, where authorities ordered people out of low-lying areas.
As Rina spun toward the Yucatan peninsula coast, locals scrambled to tape up windows, and 1,000 emergency shelters were rushed open as powerful gusts sent palm trees flailing.
Rina, now a category one storm packing sustained winds of 140 kilometers (85 miles) per hour, is expected to come crashing ashore Thursday near internationally renowned "Riviera Maya" hotspots such as Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Cozumel, famous for snow-white sands and turquoise sea.
On the beach in Playa del Carmen, Canadian tourist Pat Stevenson told AFP he was "curious."
"We got here a week ago planning to stay until December 3. We know a lot of people left because they were scared. But we are going to stay," he said, adding: "We think that we'll be safe in the hotel shelter."
Local resident Concepcion Tapia was out shopping for last-minute emergency provisions with her daughter and granddaughter. "We are asking God to help us," she said.
Her daughter Laura piped in: "Hurricane Wilma taught us that it is just as likely that nothing at all will happen, as for us to end up having to spend three days indoors after the storm. The only bad thing is that we could not find any more cans of tuna. They ran out everywhere."
Cuba was also being urged to prepare for high winds and heavy rains over the weekend as Rina curls off northward.
The Miami-based National Hurricane Center said Rina had weakened overnight, when sustained winds had reached 175 kilometers per hour.
But NHC experts said they do not expect it to weaken further before making landfall on Thursday.
The storm is expected to dump 8-16 inches (20-40 cm) on the eastern Yucatan and Cozumel through Friday, the NHC warned. That will come in addition to a storm surge that could be three feet above normal levels, the NHC said.
The US State Department has warned Americans living or on vacation in the area to prepare for the storm, and perhaps consider leaving Mexico as flights could be disrupted once the storm starts to bear down.
A Nicaraguan naval vessel that disappeared on Sunday with 29 people on board during an evacuation mission ahead of the storm was found on Tuesday with all occupants "safe and sound," officials said.
Rina is the sixth hurricane and 17th named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to November 30. After passing near or over Mexico's Yucatan, it is forecast to weaken as it spins toward Cuba and Florida.
US space agency NASA was taking no chances and evacuated a crew of astronauts from an underwater lab off the coast of Florida where they were training for a possible trip to an asteroid.

The RHS says if (a then c) fails run (b then c) Finally, mplus (return a) b = return a Is obvious because "return a" is not "mzero", so it is true for all Monads that can fail. Or have I missed the point? Keean.

My granddaughter, Cornelia Josephine Agrippina Zweibel, recently had her coming-out ball, during which she managed to turn quite a few heads. Ever since that magnolia-scented evening, a considerable number of young gentlemen have been paying call to the Zweibel Estate. With ukuleles, portable Victrolas and boxes of sweetmeats in tow, these cheeky swains hope to eventually win Cornelia's lovely hand, much to my great dismay.
A prisoner in my own bedchamber-annex, I have been given very little say in the romantic prospects of Cornelia. This is mainly the doing of my daughter-in-law Irene, Cornelia's mother, a hideous, sperm-whale-shaped woman with all the cunning ruthlessness of a Manchurian warlord.
When Cornelia was still in pigtails I suggested she be betrothed to J. Titian McBrodie, the bachelor steel magnate. But Irene nixed the idea, saying that McBrodie was 64 years older than Cornelia and was dead. Utter nonsense! A May-September romance never hurt anyone. Why, Mrs. Zweibel was 12 when she married me, and they never did prove that her habit of scraping the skin off her body with a file had anything to do with our holy union.
Anyhow, you would not believe the sad specimens that Irene considers eligible escorts for my granddaughter. Most of them are effete college boys who would blow away in a light breeze. One of them, Thad "Bubbles" Bainton, heir to the Bainton soap fortune, bore the fussy, weak-willed demeanor of someone who spent hours in the bath-tub. As he and Cornelia played croquet and ate cucumber sandwiches in the courtyard, I watched from my window in silent fury, wishing that my nurse had not confiscated my musket.
But don't count me out. I did not get where I am by letting some Yalie with tuberculosis best me. I've prevented Cornelia from marrying before, and I'll do it again. Thanks to my vigilance, she's still single at 54 and sits in a high-chair at the dinner-table. So let this be a warning to all would-be suitors: Stay away from my granddaughter, or you'll wear buckshot on your britches!

Dallas Stars' Trevor Daley, Kari Lehtonen skate in Friday practice; coach Glen Gulutzan updates their availability for Saturday's game
Goalie Kari Lehtonen and defenseman Trevor Daley skated before Friday's practice, but each is expected to miss Saturday's game because of an injury.
Coach Glen Gulutzan said Lehtonen was "marginally better" and will be re-evaluated on Saturday. The Stars are taking a conservative approach with the strained groin that has forced Lehtonen to miss the last two games. The club's is that Lehtonen could aggravate the injury and miss more time if he returns too soon.
The club hopes Daley participates in the morning skate before the game against San Jose, but it is "highly unlikely," that he will play, Gulutzan said. Daley has missed the last four periods because of a strained neck. In that time, the Stars have allowed seven goals.

I'm not really anti city. You can have your cities. Just as you may not be able to live with conditions like having to drive 15 miles to the nearest grocery store, I may not be able to live next door to a grocery store. There is nothing like living and growing up in rural America. Folks that live in the city may not even know who lives 20 feet away from them. I know my neighbors even if my neighbor is 2 miles away. I can run my saws at 2 in the morning outside. There is nobody within earshot to complain. I can use my firearms right out the front or backdoor. I can fish off my back porch. Some people are just not dependent on living in the government's bedroom. I'm not. Every day it's something else with the Wake school board. We don't have that garbage in rural America. Concrete stompers, if you don't like dirt under your feet, keep stomping concrete. I'm cool with that.

(Second part from below) They are destroying forests and leveling trees just to build your suburban/country neighborhoods. The suburban sprawl covers more land so it affects more creeks, rivers and lakes with pollution. More sprawl means the more roads and infrastructures to keep up with, who do you think pays for that? More sprawl means more vehicles on the road and greater chance of people getting killed in car wrecks and more chances of people driving drunk. Should I keep going or do you "anti-city" ignorant people get it yet? We our destroying our country!

Downtown Raleigh is and will always be the beating HEART of a the Triangle. It is the political, cultural, and social center of a diverse group of one million people.
The next time they feel a hole in their cultural hearts, I urge Superman and ConservativeVoter to keep their promise and stay away - we will be fine downtown, thank you!
idontthinkso5 Jan 11, 2013
Most of the people who hate cities are just ignorant people that think that all cities are bad and full of crime. Do you people realize that cities are the future? Why do you think this country is failing? It's the people going away from their European roots and moving into suburbs and into the country. They tend to be more obese because of the lack of exercise, in cities we are not vehicle depended. The more obese people the more we pay for health insurance. They consume more gas driving to a strip mall to their McDonalds drive thru, which are 10s of miles apart. They consume more water to water your yard in the summer; it's just grass, why are you wasting our limited supply of drinking water for grass. They are creating more pollution and greenhouse gases, because they tend to drive a big SUV or pickup truck for no reason. They are causing our gas prices to go up; those V8s are thirsty, supply and demand that's the name of the game. They are destroying forests and leveling tree

I've long has a sneaking suspicion that alot of the commentors on Golo are from the exurban counties around the Triangle and not necessarily from the core of the Triangle itself (Wake/Durham/Orange)...there are just way too many ultra conservative, anti urban viewpoints for alot of these ppl to be in the urban areas of the Triangle, especially when one considers the Triangle is considered the most progressive and liberal region of the state... I'm not saying anything bad about any1 specifically so no need to attack my viewpoint, I'm just stating my opinion :-)

"You'd be set upon by homeless vultures and/or mugged before you made it 10 feet, then stumble back to your car to find a ticket on it! Ahh, downtown Raleigh."
no. you would not.
i've lived in or around downtown for almost 20 years. yes, bums have approached me, i tell them i don't have money to give them and they leave you alone, that happens anywhere.
why are you folks so anti- downtown?

"I've been downtown three times in the last four years. Once was for jury duty, once was to vote early, and once was to take my mom to the probate clerk. I had to pay to park two of the three times."
god forbid!!!! you had to PAY for parking? thats unheard of ANYWHERE, i mean those folks up in NYC never pay for parking, neither do the folks in Atlanta, DC, Richmond, or Charlotte. Its all free.
In fact, downtown Raleigh is the only place in the whole country that you have to pay for parking.

People don't go downtown because of the overzealous parking police and the predatory tow trucks.
It's too easy to stay in North Raleigh at Restaurants as good or better than the ones downtown. The ones in North Raleigh have free and available parking within reasonable walking distance of the restaurant unlike the ones downtown.
I've been downtown three times in the last four years. Once was for jury duty, once was to vote early, and once was to take my mom to the probate clerk. I had to pay to park two of the three times.
It's just not worth it going downtown when it's so easy to stay in North Raleigh.

They should dress it up and leave it as an artistic tribute to downtown construction.
superman Jan 10, 2013
If in fact downtown is so wonderful why do I keep reading that places are closing? Have you ever been downtown early morning after they have had an event before the cleanup crew gets there. Go sometime and just see what it looks like. It looks like a battleground. Trash, bottles, cans etc. everywhere. Why did they open the street up for traffic. You never know when you do downtown if the street is going to be open or closed. After working there for many years I dont plan to ever go back there again.

"People don't want to go there"- you must not have seen the crowds at all the events the last few years, they have been HUGE. New Years, 4th of July, SparkCon, Harley Rally and then you have the concerts during the summer- as much as you may not like to admit it, downtown is thriving and growing into a wonderful little city.

would be nice to put the living space around the parking deck that the city build years ago for the project.

Crime is an eyesore in Raleigh.
djofraleigh Jan 9, 2013
I dub the location a work of art. Put up the sign, "The Ruins of Raleigh" and let those passing contemplate the effects of the passage of time on the works of the hand of man! This is real life. Cast your eyes on the message while there is still time. Construction cranes to the left of you, a wrecking ball to the right. That's the heart beat of a growing city downtown.
tgentry1005 Jan 9, 2013
It is interesting how WRAL is making such a big deal out of this site being such an eyesore! One would think the pile of rubbish had been there for years! What does WRAL expect – the construction workers to wiggle their nose and everything would disappear?
What's going to be the comments about the site when the actual construction starts? Are they going want everything done in a couple of weeks?
Must be a real slow news day!!!
ConservativeVoter Jan 9, 2013
It's interesting how most development downtown has a lot of government involvement and subsidies from the City of Raleigh.
Yet Development outside of the Beltline is done exclusively by the private sector.
This is most likely the reason that taxes are so high in Raleigh.
Government shouldn't be in the business of subsidizing development. Let the private sector handle development which it does so well.
Translation, there would be no development downtown if Raleigh didn't subsidize it.
People don't want to go there.

Two men robbed a Bethlehem bank at gunpoint Thursday afternoon, according to the Barrow County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies are looking for two men who robbed the Community Bank & Trust branch at 12 Angel St. in Bethlehem just after 4 p.m. One of the suspects had a handgun, Barrow sheriff's Maj. Todd Druse said.
The two men took $11,000 and fled the bank in a black SUV, possibly a Land Rover, Druse said. Neither of the two employees - the only witnesses inside the bank at the time - was injured.
"There were no shots fired, no injuries," Druse said. "They came in, got what they wanted and got out."
Both men were wearing hats, plus nylon stockings over their faces, Druse said. One wore black jeans, a gray sweater, gray shoes and dark work gloves, the employees told deputies. The man who had the handgun wore a red, long-sleeved pullover shirt, blue jeans and white latex gloves.
"We cannot tell the race or age of the suspects at this time," said Druse, who added that investigators were reviewing surveillance footage from the bank.
Anyone with information on the robbery can call the Barrow County Sheriff's Office at 770-307-3080.

|After Irene, this will be much longer of a climb. Can't wait for this season!
By Morgan4785
Jan 2, 2012
|The new slide above the Cascade waterfall has created a mega classic route to the summit in VERY LOW SNOW conditions. Above the waterfall, stay right instead of heading up left into the woods. After walking through a narrow section, aim up and left on ice bulges to gain the beautiful dike (a 8-10 foot wide slot that goes on for 125ft) that leads up to another WI2ish step. Following that step, there is a bit of hiking and then another 150 ft of low angle ice up top. Expect another 20-30 minutes of easy hiking through uncharacteristically open woods to the summit.

Morgan: When did you do this climb? I am thinking of checking it out tomorrow afternoon while waiting for a partner to meet me in the 'Dacks. I did the climb before Irene, but I'm wondering if the hurricane made it slightly harder, or just more enjoyable?

I soloed this post-Irene (Feb 2013 or 2014 ?) and found a quite difficult move at the very top exit of the first waterfall. Don't know how to rate it, since I hooked a root, but I think the final few feet of the first waterfall is considerably more difficult than it was pre-Irene. Of course, year-to-year, if not month-to-month, things change.
Above the waterfall, the climb is a nice cruse! However, it is wide open enough to develop avalanche conditions (esp. windslab), so "be aware" and maybe take the more conservative route (e.g. with some trees on the slope), especially on the snow.

Atlanta police need your help in solving the murder of businessman Terry Porter, who was killed outside his southwest Atlanta home Monday morning. Police believe the motive was robbery, since his cellphone and 2006 Range Rover were stolen.
Neighbors told police they heard a shot fired around 2:30 a.m. Monday, near the intersection of Gordon Street and Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard, police said.
Porter, 39, was found dead on the side of his home in the 1000 block of Gordon Street around 7 a.m., with his pockets pulled out, Atlanta homicide Detective Summer Benton said. Source

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees had just become the first NFL player to throw five touchdown passes eight separate times.
On defense, the Saints battered Buffalo Bills quarterback Thad Lewis and took the ball away from him three times en route to a 35-17 win at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome that boosted New Orleans' record to 6-1, keeping it tied with Seattle in the fight for the top record in the NFC.
But if Brees and his teammates were in the mood to celebrate, it was muted. Among other things, they had been penalized eight times, had gotten just seven points out of their first three trips to the red zone and had let Brees get hit quite a bit himself.
Such lapses won't doom a win in October at home against a Bills team that's now 3-5 and was led by a QB who was on the practice squad until starter E.J. Manuel suffered a knee injury earlier this month. But the same may not be true in the postseason.
"It's weird where we're happy with the victory ... (but) we need to be better in some situations," Brees said. "There were a lot of good things, but a lot of things we could have done much better."
Defensive end Junior Galette, who had one of the Saints' four sacks and one of their two fumble recoveries, agreed.
"We can win these games but, later down the road, the way we played today is not going to help us at all," he said. "If this had been a playoff game, it would be awfully hard to win with eight penalties or on the road."
The good things Brees referred to were myriad, especially with him. His favorite target, tight end Jimmy Graham, was hobbled with a foot injury, but the Saints quarterback showed no dip in form whatsoever.
On 26-of-34 passing with no turnovers, Brees hit 10 different receivers for 332 yards. His throws included touchdowns of 15 and 13 yards to Graham, who wasn't used as much as usual but was nonetheless a matchup nightmare in the red zone.
They included two TDs to rookie wideout Kenny Stills — a season-long, 69-yard bomb as well as a 42-yarder. Stills, who had a career-high 129 yards on three catches, became the first Saints rookie receiver to haul in two TDs in a game since Marques Colston did it in a contest against the Baltimore Ravens at the Superdome almost seven years ago to the day.
And they included a 15-yard TD to receiver Lance Moore, who had just returned from missing three games with a hand injury.
Before Sunday, Saints wide receivers had accounted for just 34 percent of the team's receiving yards and 22 percent of its touchdowns. Against the Bills, those numbers were 59 and 60 percent, more than picking up the slack for a limited Graham and Brees' second favorite target, running back Darren Sproles, whose four receptions curiously gained 0 yards.
"You never know whose day it's going to be," Brees said. "As long as we're moving the football and scoring points, that's all that matters."
About Brees, Bills coach Doug Marrone lamented, "That is the one thing about him. ... He always finds those guys."
The Saints also had 26 carries for 77 yards, 65 of them coming on 14 rushes by Pierre Thomas.
It wasn't hard for Brees and coach Sean Payton to identify things to gripe about, though. Brees pointed at his team's slow start. After linebacker David Hawthorne sacked Lewis and forced a fumble that Galette recovered on the first play of the game, the Saints engineered a four-play drive that ended with Garrett Hartley missing a field goal from 47 yards.
After Moore put the Saints up 7-0, in a sequence at the end of the first quarter and start of the second, the Saints faced third-and-1 from Buffalo's 11. Brees drew two false start penalties before throwing an incompletion, setting up a missed 38-yard kick from Hartley.
The Saints would convert TDs on both of their subsequent red-zone trips, but the pair of ones that culminated in Hartley's misses illustrated the team's inefficiency inside their opponents' 20 where, at the moment, they're getting six points just 48 percent of the time.
Furthermore, Brees was sacked four times, putting him on pace to be dropped behind the line of scrimmage about 41 times this year — or 15 more than he ever has been during any season since he arrived in New Orleans in 2006.
"If we continue to repeat these mistakes, they're going to get us beat," Brees said.
That they didn't on Sunday had a lot to do with coordinator Rob Ryan's defense, which made sure the Bills were the fourth opponent this season to fail to score more than 17 points at the Superdome. Aside from Hawthorne's sack-fumble, defensive end Cameron Jordan recorded one, which he recovered to set up Moore's TD.
Defensive end Glenn Foster chipped in with a fourth sack of Lewis. The young QB went 22-of-39 for 234 yards, and his sole, 13-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Stevie Johnson temporarily tied the score in the second quarter. But the Saints' pressure paid dividends: In addition to his two lost fumbles, Lewis tossed a fourth-quarter interception to cornerback Keenan Lewis, setting up Stills' second TD and New Orleans' definitive 18-point lead.
Lewis' pick was his third this season, setting a career high.
But even the defense couldn't stay completely clear of the sloppiness. Defensive end Tom Johnson likely will draw flak from coaches for a third-down encroachment penalty. That may be the case too for cornerback Corey White, who near the end of the third quarter earned a pair of roughing-the-passer whistles. Bills running back Fred Jackson soon after scored on a 1-yard rush to make it 28-17.
As Payton put it: "You see some good things that you're pleased with. But there are a number of things that we have to get cleaned up."

Walt Disney reboots High School Musical with all new cast – meaning no Zac & Vanessa!
With the launch of new HSM 4, the teen franchise goes in a bold new – and cheaper – direction.
A Disney Channel spokesperson said in a statement the story would feature a music- and dance-filled love triangle set against cross-town rivalry between fictional high schools in Albuquerque, N.M.
Kinda like West Side Story (again) but without the street gangs nor Bernstein score.
Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tinsdale all "graduated" from Mouse school at the finale of HSM3.
Now the Disney/ABC conglom that ate your kids' wallets can bring up the next wave of nauseatingly cute Mileys-in- training bras at far less the cost.
You've been warned!

After the Sounders FC started the season with two scoreless matches, the offense looked bleak to the outsider. Internally, though, the club knew that a team with attacking options like young stars Fredy Montero and Steve Zakuani wouldn't be held for long.
Since then, it's been 42 goals in 25 matches and the Sounders are now the top-scoring team in MLS, putting an exclamation point on the mark with their six-goal performance against the Columbus Crew last week.
They already have more goals than in the 2009 and 2010 season, when they played 30 matches in league play and reached the playoffs both seasons. They have also matched the point total from the 2010 season with their 13-5-9 record in 2011.
All that while Zakuani and O'Brian White, who were leading the team with two goals and two assists at the time, have been out of action due to injuries since the seventh game of the season on April 22.
"I think we are doing a better job of holding the ball in the final third of the field, I think that's helped us. We are certainly getting goals from different places on the field, I think that helps us as well," Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid said. "But I think the main thing is we are doing a better job of holding the ball in the final third of the field, connecting our passes, just being a little bit patient at the right time."
The increased number of goals has come despite not having a player in the top 20 scorers in the league.
Diversity in scoring options has been the key for Seattle.
In 2009 and 2010, Montero led the club with 12 goals and 10 goals, respectively. Nate Jaqua added nine in 2009 while Zakuani matched Montero's total with 10 in 2010. 2009 saw the club feature 11 different players registering a goal, while 14 scored for the Sounders in 2010.
This year, the scoring has been much more spread out. 14 players have scored, but four players have already scored five goals or more with seven matches remaining on the season. Only three players scored five or more in 2010 and it was just Montero and Jaqua in 2009.
"It's coming from a lot of different places. Different guys have stepped up at different times and we're not just relying on one goalscorer," said Roger Levesque, who himself has contributed an MLS career-high three goals. "We're getting ourselves in good spots and making that commitment to getting numbers in front of the goal and good things happen."
Montero is again leading the pack with six goals and seven assists, with Alvaro Fernandez sharing the goal-scoring lead with six goals of his own. After his hat trick on Saturday against the Columbus Crew, Lamar Neagle pulled even with Mauro Rosales with five goals. Rosales is also third in the league with nine assists.
In Pat Noonan, Nate Jaqua, Mike Fucito, Levesque and the newly acquired Sammy Ochoa, Seattle also has other forward options that have proven goal-scoring abilities. And with Montero still on the verge of another scoring run, things are looking up for the Sounders with seven matches still remaining on the MLS schedule.
"It's important to get anybody hot and if Fredy is the guy who goes hot for us that's all the better. Whenever you get a guy who plays close to the goal that's scoring goals that makes it easier for your team," Schmid said. "He knows there are other weapons on the team so the pressure is not on him in that regard but he also puts pressure on himself. He wants to score goals. He obviously scored a big goal against FC Dallas (in the Open Cup semifinal) and hopefully he'll be able to build upon that."
After taking the weekend off, the Sounders return to MLS play on Saturday against Real Salt Lake. Kickoff is at 1 pm from CenturyLink Field.
