Despite what we assume is a sizable internal battery, the 1000X weighs only 276g. The design and construction of the 1000X are classic Sony, which is to say nearly flawless. The headphone is almost entirely made of plastic, but does not feel cheap — everything feels sturdy, all joints move smoothly, and there are no rattles or squeaks to speak of. The monochrome matte black finish looks extremely classy; the 1000X is also available in a tan colour, but we can't help but wish there were more colour options available.
We found the 1000X to be an extremely comfortable headphone. Its ear pads are thin but soft, with an opening just large enough to encircle the ear. Though this doesn't leave a lot of extra breathing room, it seems to make sense for optimal isolation on an ANC headphone. Its other contact points - the outside of the cups and the headband - are covered in the same protein leather and are pleasing to the touch.
There are only three tactile buttons on the 1000X, but don't let that fool you – there is a ton of functionality here. Pairing, on/off, and battery level checks are performed with the power button. Noise canceling and ambient sound modes (Normal and Voice) are toggled via their own button. Play, pause, track, volume, and Siri are controlled via swipes and taps on the right ear cup – we found these to be very responsive, even through thin gloves. The 1000X's best trick, however, is its Quick Attention feature: cupping your hand over the right ear cup instantly pauses the music and activates the exterior microphones, allowing you to hear your surroundings and have conversations without fumbling to pause the music.

Pairing was quick and easy with our iPhone and MacBook, and we had no problems running the 1000X all day on a single charge. We found the 1000X's controls to be quick and responsive, with its volume controls linked to that of the iPhone and battery level displayed in its status bar. ANC and ambient sound modes are indicated with voice prompts which, unfortunately, cannot be disabled. Sony includes a Sound Optimizer feature, activated by long-pressing the NC button on the left cup, that supposedly adjusts the sound and ANC to ear shape, whether you're wearing glasses, and other listening conditions – we tried it, but didn't notice a significant difference.
As longtime fans of Sony audio gear, we remember the days of CD players with "Mega-Bass" switches and, more recently, their "Extra-Bass" line of headphones; we expected the 1000X to sound as bassy as its predecessors. To our surprise, the 1000X has a very neutral sound signature. We have no complaints about detail or extension in either treble or bass, but neither is overpowering. There's a "polite" quality to the 1000X's sound that while non-fatiguing, might sound non-engaging to some listeners — where some headphones sound "in your face," the 1000X delivers music with poise, as if being careful not to offend. Though it might not be the most exciting sound on the market, it's probably well-matched for the 1000X's intended use — a multi-hour flight or noisy commute.
If the review ended here, it would be safe to conclude that the 1000X was a very good headphone. But wait, there's more.
The 1000X has the best active noise canceling that we have tested to date. It easily handled our NYC commute torture tests, all but disappearing the rumbling wheels, squeaky brakes, and static-filled PA system of the subway cars and the low roar of the streets. The Ambient Voice and Quick Attention features were handy for catching announcements, but we really loved the ability to commute in peace. Wind seems to cause problems for the ANC system, but that has been a common limit of every ANC headphone we've yet tested. ANC also works in passive mode and, counterintuitively, music sounds better on the 1000X with ANC activated in passive — in fact, the only configuration in which we did not like the 1000X's sound was when we used the headphone cable with ANC disabled.

We generally don't expect great sound quality out of an ANC headphone. We have grown accustomed to accepting mediocre sound quality in exchange for good ANC because, if we're forced to choose, it's better than no music at all. The Sony MDR-1000X changes all that with superb build quality, well-implemented features and, most importantly, high-quality ANC. It's not a perfect headphone – we would have preferred a more engaging sound signature, and it's a shame that that the 1000X sounds flat in passive mode. Still, the 1000X is not just a "Bose alternative" — it stands on its own, and should be high on the list for anyone looking for an ANC headphone.

text: One recent morning I woke up feeling overwhelmed and extra thinky. Before starting yoga I found myself going to Pandora and choosing the Average White Band station. Once the beat of JJ Jackson's "But It's Alright" started I immediately felt better. As Earth, Wind & Fire's live version of "That's the Way of the World" played I was giggling and feeling a nice connection. I believe that yoga and many things labeled as "spiritual" are wonderful but often my doing them isn't when I feel most connected. It's more the mind-set I'm in when going about my day. Whether it's singing in the car, painting, smiling at someone, taking a Zumba dance class or feeling a connection with a person I just met. It's always there. And, it's in the really stinko moments as well. For me, spirituality is in every moment of every day and how I choose to be in those moments.

If you are looking for a smart sprinkler system that will nourish your plants and lawn while saving you money at the same time then Lono is the answer. This smart sprinkler provides you with automated control and scheduling that prevents overwatering while lowering the cost of your water bills. Lono will help you use up to 70% less water while helping to promote ongoing efforts of water conservation. As an added perk, you may also be eligible to receive a rebate toward the cost of Lono from your local state government.
How the Lono Sprinkler Controller Works
Automatic watering control with Lono lets you manage the care of your lawn, plants, and flowers all from the comfort of your smartphone. You can easily set the watering schedule to make sure that your grass and plants are thoroughly nourished regardless of your location. Mobil automation and control lets you make changes while you may be traveling or miles away on a business trip.
The Lono app is uniquely designed so that you can adjust watering levels for specific zones by either increasing or decreasing the amount of water on your sprinkler system. Flexible scheduling lets you adjust Lono to turn the sprinkler system on during designated times around-the-clock. You can water your lawn and vegetation during the daytime or nighttime hours to fit your own unique schedule.
Lono will use smart watering methods to meet the needs of the particular plants and other vegetation within your region. Highlights of Lono include water saving features linked to "seasonal adjustment, weather and temperature monitoring, and automated scheduling to ensure that your lawn gets the perfect amount of water year round." (Lono, 2015)
Features and Technical Specifications of Lono
Lono comes with easy to understand instructions for installation and set up. The Lono app can be used on smartphones that use either iOS (8.0+) or Android (4.0+) systems. Connectivity and networking capabilities are provided by Bluetooth 4.0 LE and Wi-Fi. One Lono device can cover and support up to 20 watering zones.
Settings can be adjusted for each zone so that you can set and customize watering times. If you have a cookout or party planned in your backyard, Lono's unique 24-hour Snooze feature will let you configure the device to take a short break. You can set Lono to make adjustments for a delayed watering schedule while you and your family are enjoying a barbecue.
Lono is backed by a 1-year limited warranty, includes a battery backup and is protected by a splash resistance outer case. The device is not weatherproof so care should be taken as to where you place the unit. Lono can be placed within a container box that is weather resistance for outdoor placement and usage to protect it from the elements.
Get Reimbursed for Cost with Government Rebate
Consumers that purchase a Lono Sprinkler System may be eligible to receive a rebate from their local state government. Some municipalities at the town and city levels may offer to reimburse you for a substantial amount as a result of ongoing water conservation efforts.
Restrictions for getting a rebate may include that only those consumers that use and pay for public city water sources can be eligible for reimbursement. This makes sense considering that consumers that have wells have their own private source of water that is not provided by the public utilities.
The process of obtaining a rebate usually starts with visiting your local state government online and printing out an application form. A representative may have to conduct an onsite inspection to confirm the usage of the Lono smart irrigation controller prior to having your rebate processed.
When you purchase a Lono device, make sure that you keep the original receipt and proof of purchase as well as the packaging that contained the sprinkler system. Rebate reimbursement amounts will vary depending on the jurisdiction of the state government, but most consumers can expect to receive in the range of at least about $100 or more for a rebate.

WILLIAMSPORT - Steve Shadrach's face was pale and his left arm ached as he sat coughing on the grass berm near the entrance of the R.C. Willson Water Production Plant.
"I think he's having a heart attack," said Beth Carr, herself showing evidence of injuries she sustained from a leak of 317 pounds of chlorine in the plant. Soon, Shadrach was supine and motionless on the grass.
"I've got a palmar laceration. It's bleeding rather badly," Carr remarked of the gaping wound on her left hand and wrist.
Carr, a pharmacy student, and Shadrach, a water plant operator, both felt better than they looked. By the end of Saturday's multi-agency drill at the plant, Shadrach was unsure whether he was priority one - critically ill - or dead.


text: Football 9/23/2013 12:00:00 AM Louisiana Tech Weekly Press Conference Transcript: Sept. 23 Sept. 23, 2013RUSTON, La. - Louisiana Tech head coach Skip Holtz and select student-athletes spoke with the media Monday in advance of the team's game against Army in the Heart of Dallas Classic at the Cotton Bowl on Sept. 28.Head coach Skip HoltzOpening Comments:"Looking at the review of last week, it is hard enough to lose it on Saturday but then having to come in and relive it and watch every play on Sunday is tough. To have to watch it all and grade it all, then watch it with your staff, and then with your team, I have now seen the game about five times. The more you see it, the more frustrating it becomes. It is frustrating in so many areas, but one of the things that makes it hard, is that it is hard to lose because we have made so many strides and we improved in so many areas as a football team from last week to this week. I am really proud of the way this team worked, but the thing that makes it so hard, is that the result is still the same, in losing a football game. I was really proud of the way the football team played.""When I talk about improvements, I thought there were an awful lot of things to build on in that football game. I thought this was the best game we have played this year with the offensive line. Some of those moves, and rolling guys that we had played in the past certainly paid off. I thought our defensive line played very well. We talked about one of those keys to giving ourselves a chance to win was controlling the line of scrimmage. I felt like we did that with our offensive and defensive line. I thought they both played really well up front. I thought our third downs offensively were the best we have had all year, almost 47 percent. We had 29 first downs as an offense. I felt like we executed much better than we have the past couple of weeks.""When you look at it defensively, you give up 13 points, 117 yards rushing, you created two turnovers, you had two positive field positions, you had two fourth down stops, there were so many positive things that happened in this game on offense and defense that is frustrating to lose it. I thought our cover teams, especially the punt team, was outstanding. Putting Kansas inside the 10 yard line four different times during that game was fantastic. I thought the cover team had one kick to cover and had a T-20, what we call it, and put them inside the 20 yard line at the 17 yard line. We just had a lot of things to build on and a lot of things that were encouraging.""There is not a moral victory, and we certainly were not going up there to just try and play it close. I was proud of the improvements we have made as a football team. We talk about a work in progress, but I was encouraged by the things I saw. Obviously, the elephant in the room is the loss. Three turnovers were our downfall, one down inside the five and then one of them going into the end zone. Things like that cost us 14 points. All of a sudden without changing anything else and it is 24-10, if you can just hold on to the football.""That is probably the glaring thing in the room. The lack of productivity in the red zone offensively, we got inside the 20 yard line four times and came away with one score. I thought the completion to Hunter Lee in the corner of the end zone was a beautiful play. We had some great individual efforts. To get down there and fumble twice inside the ten and inside the five and then to miss a field goal inside the 20 are things that you cannot do if you want to go win on the road against a Big 12 team. I think those are the glaring things. We gave ourselves a chance to win with a lot of the positive things we did, but we were not able to finish it with some of the mistakes that we made.""I give Kansas and awful lot of credit. I know they have been through a hard streak. I know Coach Weis and Coach Tim Grunhard, their offensive line coach, and Ron Powlus, their quarterbacks coach, both are Notre Dame grads. They have done a good job keeping that team together through some hard times. It is just unfortunate it had to end against us with a couple fumbles and a 52 yard field goal with no time on the clock.""I talked about some guys that really played well for us. On the offensive line, I am really proud of the way those guys played. We rolled seven or eight guys constantly in that game. Most of the offensive lineman played 35-40 plays a piece, rather than a bunch of guys playing 70 plays. I think that competition and that rest, I think both really helped these guys come together as an offensive line and I thought they did a great job.""The running backs, obviously Kenneth Dixon is back. He is full speed. He ran incredibly hard, and it is a shame because nobody feels worse about that fumble, but it is still not something we can tolerate. The same thing I would say about Ryan Higgins. I thought he went in there, he competed. For a freshman to get his first start at Kansas. I thought he went in there, he showed poise, I thought he made good decisions. He threw the ball well and did a lot of good things. He added some plays with his feet. It is the same things. It is unfortunate but you have got to hold on to the football. There is nothing more important than that ball. In a situation like that, we have got to put two hands on it. With time running down and with Ryan Higgins, put that ball in the outside arm and it is still our ball.""We have never taught a player to reach. We have never taught a player to put the ball out inside the pylon. I have said it before, the ball is just too important. The negatives the can happen when you take it away from your body are not worth the positive things. I would like to get four more downs from the one to see if we can get it in, rather than hold that ball out. It is unfortunate because I thought those two guys played two of the best games for us as an offense. It is just unfortunate that they were the two that made the mistakes down in the end turning the ball over. For the wide receivers it is the same thing. We played a lot of guys. A lot of guys rolled. A lot of guys caught passes. I thought we played steady but have to create more big plays in the passing game with our wide receivers.""On the defensive side of the ball, I think those six or seven guys up front played a really good game for us up front. I think Daniel Cobb is as active as ever. I think he had eight or 10 tackles in this game. I think that is a couple games in a row he has hit the double digit mark. He is very active. I think they tried to do a little bit more running the ball. I think we have to get a little more disciplined in the things we are doing at the linebacker position with our eye control, and making sure we are finishing our gaps. I thought Daniel was extremely active. I thought both feet did a really nice job. He went in there and played a significant amount of plays and did a good job. I though Adairius Barnes and Le'Vander Liggins continued to grow up. They get better and better every week. The better that they get, the more comfortable that they get the more we can be aggressive as a defensive football team. I thought at the safety position Grogan played well. I think Thomas McDonald show up. For a guy to step in there and make the interception that he did. He is a guy that we probably need to get a couple more plays to.""Overall I thought we had some guys that played really well. If you could change a play, you know what, it is a different outcome. Unfortunately we cannot. What you have to do is learn from it and sometimes it feels like somebody threw a spear through your chest when you lose a game like that. I know a lot of the players hurt. I know that they have worked extremely hard to win. As we have talked about it, we are 1/3 of the way through the season. We have 2/3 left, and if we can learn from some of the lessons and some of the mistakes we have made, then we have the chance to have a very successful and productive year, even with this start at 1-3.""We do not have time to feel sorry for ourselves, or have the pity party. It is time to pick yourself back up, roll your sleeves back up and get competitive. As I told them, if you do not like where you are, let's change it. If we do not like the results we are getting then let's change it. Let's do something about it. Let's get in here, watch film, correct some of the mistakes we made last week, and let's improve as a football team.""We have Army this week. I will say a couple things about this game. I love having the opportunity to play in the Cotton Bowl. I have had the opportunity to be there a couple times with all the great history in the cotton bowl and the tradition that is there. With the state fair weekend and the circus that goes around it, I am excited to be able to play there. Also for the fan base that we have there in Dallas, that makes the four to five hour drive from Dallas five to six times every year. We are going to have an opportunity to go to them. We get the opportunity to play in their backyard. Obviously with the wealth of talent that is in Dallas and the recruiting that we do in Dallas. This is a huge asset for us to have the opportunity to go over there for our fan base to go over there and for a lot of recruits in the Dallas area. We are excited about that.""Looking at the game itself, Army poses a lot of challenges for you. Everyone knows that with the service academies comes the triple option. Defensively you have to play very vanilla. You have to play assignment football, and the way you learn to play it is to have your scout team run their offense and you don't play with a football. Somebody has to tackle the dive, somebody has to tackle the quarterback, and somebody has to tackle the pitch on every play. It is not following the ball, and running to the ball.""It goes against everything that you teach defensively. You have to play assignment oriented football. Santiago there quarterback is the one that makes it go. He does a great job. He is very talented with the offense that they run. I think he does a great job. They have a good running back. Their top two running backs did not play last week. I do not know if they will be back for our game or not. The third tailback goes in and rushes for 125 yards against Wake Forest last week. They are a top 10 rushing offense. They are going to rush for 300 yards a game. I do not want to say you know you are giving that up going into it but they are going to pound the rock and with all the different blocking schemes and as well as Coach Ellerson knows this offense, I think it is just a matter of time before they hit one. They are eventually going to split a seam and we just have to play great assignment sound football as we get into this game.""Defensively, their nose guard, #98, is a player. He is big, he is physical and under center most of the time, kind of like what we saw last week. Their free safety is very active. Outside of those two they play about three deep. They roll numbers and you are not going to out tempo this group. You are not going to out condition this group. You are not going to wear them out. They run a lot of people at you and run a play a lot of different people.""One of the things that they give you problems with is that you never know where they are. You look at them every week, and they go from play action in a split six, to a 4-3 to a double eagle. They give you an awful lot of different looks. I think they really make you simplify as an offense. It will be a great challenge for us but I think as a football team we will respond off the loss last week. I hope it hurts bad enough that we are willing to make some changes and we are willing to do some things we have to do to be the type of football team we want to be. We are looking forward to the opportunity this weekend."On the kicking situation:"Kyle (Fischer) started out really strong. We talked about it being a neck and neck horse race going through camp. Kyle edged him (Jonathan Barnes) out there in the last week so he got the nod early. He did not kick very well last week and started out in the first half 0-2. I do not know what the problems were whether it is the hold or the mindset. We changed holders in the third quarter and he put it through the upright. The reason that I am very hesitant to make the change at this point is because if Kyle Fischer was going to be our field goal kicker, than I was going to redshirt Jonathan Barnes. If it gets to the point where Kyle cannot be productive enough for us to win football games then we are going to have to make a change."On whether he expected the offense to take this big a step forward from Tulane to Kansas:"You know, it felt like we did. I was really excited about the week of practice. I know Coach Petersen was really excited. Coach Rattay and Coach Sloan talked about it. I think all the coaches were really excited. I think Ryan brought a great energy, brought an enthusiasm, and brought a sense of urgency to the table along with his talents. Thursday was the best practice we had the entire season. As coaches it makes you feel better when you go out there on Thursday and only had to repeat one play, one time. Everybody was in it, the offensive line, the quarterback, the way we were throwing and catching it. If we were going to play how we practiced, we felt like we really had the opportunity to play well as an offense and it proved to be true. Ryan did a nice job, he brought a lot to the table but sometimes when you have a young quarterback that has to step in, all the offensive lineman say, we have to pick it up. We talk about if somebody were to get hurt you cannot ask one guy to pick up all that productivity. Everybody has to pick up about 10 percent of it. If everybody picks up ten percent of it that is how we are going to carry it. That is the approach we took and the mindset that we had. I thought everyone rallied around Ryan being a freshman quarterback, being on that scene and embraced it and I thought he did a really nice job."On if Ryan Higgins locked down the starting job or with Scotty coming back, if there be a battle:"We are going to have to look at it this week, but certainly Ryan has put himself in there. Scotty is coming back off his rib injury. Was able to play and practice a little bit on Tuesday and just a little bit more on Wednesday, but we just felt like Ryan had a good week and we needed to go with him. There was no reason to risk that. We will look at that this week and we will make that decision. Right now, Ryan has definitely put himself in the ball game and put himself in that driver's seat with the way that he played last week."On when the starting quarterback decision will be made:"I would like to know more on Tuesday. I would like to know Tuesday as we go out to the field what we are going to do. Even I try to say quarterback is like every other, but it is not. It is a leadership position. You would like to have the guy that is taking the bulk of the game reps, as the guy that is taking the bulk of your reps at practice. The guy that is running with the ones and building that chemistry with what you are trying to do."On when he made the decision to start Ryan Higgins:"Early in the week, I said he was probable, because I felt like by Saturday he is going to be good. However, with Ryan taking a bulk of the reps, Scotty was cleared to play Saturday. If something had happened, Scotty could have gone in. But with Ryan getting the bulk of the work during the week because of Scotty's injury early, Ryan responded well and did some good things in practice and that is why we made the decision we did."On how much of a factor Higgins' turnovers will play a role in his decision to start him vs. Army:"I think it is hard to put the interception on Ryan when he throws the ball and it hits the receiver in the sternum and bounces up in the air and then gets picked off. I think it is hard to put that on the quarterback. The same thing happened a week ago out here against Tulane. When he drops back, gets to his third step and gets hit in the ear hole and fumbles. I think those are hard turnovers to put on the quarterback. I think he has done a nice job throwing the ball and the first turnover this fall that I am giving to him is the one he had the fumble on. The others are breakdowns either in protection and routes or someone dropping a pass. But this is the dilemma that we have right now. Ryan is bringing an awful lot to the table as a young energetic emotional quarterback, but the turnovers are why we went with Scotty from the very beginning. Scotty does a great job protecting the ball. If we can get Ryan to eliminate turnovers, or if we can get Scotty to continue to progress and develop as a leader, than I think it is going to be a heck of a battle and we are going to have two to choose from."On how he handles the emotional ups and downs dealing with players:"We talked about it last night. We have a victors club, and you have to play at a certain level and grade a certain way to get into the victors club. We also have a rule that if you have a turnover that you cannot get in it. Kenneth and Ryan played two great games for us but they turned the ball over. It does not matter how well you played, if you turn the ball over, it is well known that that is the most important statistic when it comes to winning and losing football games. We have to coach it, eliminate it, and do whatever we can to eliminate it. Those two feel worse than anyone else about those two turnovers. It remains the fact that we cannot turn the ball over and win. I would rather them run with two hands on the ball and gain four yards and fall down, than I would have them run for 15 and turn it over at the end of the run. I think you have to praise them for what they did, you certainly cannot ignore that. I told both of them that they did not cost us the game, but they both had an opportunity to win it."On what the discussion was before Kenneth Dixon's last fumble:"Well the guy I was worried about was the freshman quarterback. I went over and talked to him. I went over to him and said at minimum we have three points on the board. If the pass is not there, throw it in the back of the end zone, throw it away, we have a field goal. We took the approach that the three points were on the board. I did not say that to the tailback. I did grab the quarterback and cover all of those scenarios because you do not know. Maybe you are going to run the ball or throw a screen and something breaks down, just throw it in the second row. It does not need to be six. Whether or not coach Juluke said that to Kenneth, I cannot answer that."On how he is imitating the Army triple option with the scout team:"I definitely think we have a scout team quarterback when you look at Michael Mims and Paul Turner. Both from West Monroe that are out on that scout team right now. I think both of those guys can do a great job simulating the quarterback."On why the offensive line improved so much from one week to the other:"Well, I think Vince Cano played a lot better. We had all the pre-snap penalties and we have tried a number of different things from quarterback calling the cadence, to the guard tapping the center to get the cadence to the center calling the cadence. We are doing whatever we can. Cano was a defensive lineman a year ago, and now he is your starting center.""We are trying to work out some of these bugs and find out what they feel most comfortable doing. We did some things that Cano was very comfortable with and put some of the cadence in his hands and I thought he responded and played very well. We probably challenged him more than anything.""I know Matthew Shepperd, Cano, and (Jeremy) Graffree are guys that have not been getting a winner or getting in our victors club, but they are all seniors and competitive. We moved Mitchell Bell up to start instead of Graffree and Jeremy responded with 40 plays in the game with his best performance so far this year. Same thing happened with Jens Danielsen at the left tackle. By playing Darrell Brown an awful lot, Jens Danielsen turned in his best game of the year. I think it was a combination of some of the moves, some of the competition and some of the competitive nature of the offensive line. It is a proud group and they want to be good."On calling the pre-snap cadence with the offensive line:"We did it earlier as well. We did it earlier, but there are also problems with that without getting into all the details of it, but there are some problems with the snapper calling it. When we went to a freshman quarterback, we thought we ought to put a little bit more pressure on a senior offensive lineman rather than the freshman quarterback. We have tried to look at a couple different things, but we started it that way and in the opening game of the year we did it that way and still had five penalties. I think everyone is starting to get a little bit more comfortable. If we went out at practice and jumped offsides 10 times and then did it in the games five times, I understand that. When you do not jump offsides the whole week of practice and then go do it on Saturday, that is why, as a coach, you talk about some of the youth and inexperience and getting wide-eyed on game day.""It has been great to get these four games under our belt and hopefully everyone is settling down a little bit and understands to go execute on game day rather than trying to do something special."On putting pressure on Vince Cano to be a leader on the offensive line:"We put pressure on the entire offensive line because they did not play very well the first three games of the year. I thought they played okay at Lamar, but this was far and away their best game of the year. We have kind of lit a fire under all of them about if we want to get where we want to be and be as productive as we need to be as an offense, we have to have an offensive line to be able to do it. We challenge all of them: Cano, Sheppard, Graffree, Bell, Tre Carter, Larry Banks. We challenged all of them this week and they really responded."On Kansas' defensive coverage:"We went in and said we were going to make them spread out and cover us down. That is where so many of the bubble throws came from. I lot of it was a read, so when they were loading the box, we were throwing bubbles, and when they went out and covered them, we handed the ball off. We felt like if we could get a running game going, that is where we would challenge the offensive line and Kenneth Dixon to get past the first wave of defense. I thought they did a great job with it. It was designed, but it was not as much of a call as it was a read."On red zone numbers:"At this point in the year, I would say at least 25-30 percent trips have been turnovers or missed field goals. That is where you get to 103rd [offensively]. We turned the ball over at NC State, twice we have turned it over here and we have missed I think two field goals in the red zone. Those are our biggest red zone woes right now. If those numbers changed and we hold onto the ball, I don't think we are talking about this now."On the frustration with out-playing teams yet still losing:"It is probably a little bit of a mix of everything. We have to keep coaching against it, talking about it and watching film on everything. We have to get there. There are some areas we have improved as a football team, but certainly putting points on the board has not been our forte this year."On Kim Dameron's work with the defense on fourth down situations:"We had two fourth down stops and I think one of the things I think Kim has done a great job with the defense is being able to do so many different things; being able to play zone or man and we have been much more aggressive after the opening game at NC State. We started disguising things much more so people were not able to read when we were in zone and when we were in man. I think the defense has done a great job of grasping a new system. Some guys have really developed. We have talked about Daniel Cobb, Mitch Villemez and Beau Fitte and the way they have come along. We have talked about (Kentrell) Brice, (Lloyd) Grogan, (Thomas) McDonald and (Terrell) Pinson at safety and the way they have come along. The two young corners have matured. I think it is a combination of what he has done schematically to give them an opportunity or a chance, but I also think it is the way they have developed and grown as individuals to make our defense much better."As far as the fourth down stops, they went for it twice and were stopped both times. You talk about the strength of this defense and it is the four linemen. You start looking at the weight of Jelly (Justin Ellis) inside and the way IK (Enemkpali) is playing right now with rushing the quarterback; he has just been a force. I think when they made the decision to run it twice, that is kind of playing into our strength as a football team. I am glad they did that and did not throw it because we are better against the run than we are against the pass. I thought we had one of our better defensive performances Saturday."On if it makes him feel better that the team's strength is defending the run vs. Army:"No, it does not because of the way they run it. It is not about running to the ball. It is not about hunting in packs. It is not about just plugging a gap. It is about tackling the dive, the quarterback and the pitch and they make you play from sideline to sideline. They do not allow you to hunt in packs. They do not allow a Jelly (Justin Ellis), an IK to converge on the dive or where the ball is going. From that standpoint, that is what is scary because as soon as you put two people on one guy, they spit it out and all of a sudden they are running around the edge.""I think whatever you do, you have to be simple with it because every defense you put in you have to stop the dive, pitch, hand sweep and counter play, so every defense has to make sure they see all the plays against it. You really do not go into this one complicated. You go into it very simple, whether that is covering the gaps and playing the four-down or playing with three-down and giving everyone responsibilities. You are limited because you cannot blitz it. There are a lot of things you cannot do to it because they are going to have a lot of answers for everything you are going to do. Coach Ellerson has been running this offense for a long time and he knows it really well, so we have to make sure we are simple enough to go out and execute it."On how the team is handling the loss going into its final non-conference game:"It is [a turning point game]. That is one of the reasons I like to meet with them Sundays because whether you win or lose, you are able to put it to bed and move on to the next week. Today is the players' day off. It is an academic day for them on Monday. We have a lot of tests coming up this week. This week in the quarter system is a heavy test week for a lot of our players. Academically, I told them to kind of get away from here for the day, get your feet on the ground, put some time into it and come back Tuesday ready to go. That is one of the things I like about Sunday night is being able to watch film, put it to bed, let them see their mistakes and now it is all Army as we go forward.""It is conference coming up, which we are excited about. We talked about last night that after this game we have seven conference games left, and I think we are all excited to get to that point. When you look at all these non-conference games, that is really the thing they are giving you a chance to do is gain experience as you get ready for conference play. I would have loved to switch Tulane and Kansas. I like to play all non-conference first and let the young guys make mistakes, get in there and see where we are going to be strong and what we are going to need to hide going forward. I am really excited to get into conference play after this week, but right now we have to focus on Army and what we are going to do with them."Linebacker Daniel CobbOn feeling better and better about his performance:"It makes me feel good, but then again it would not be possible with IK [Enemkpali], Jelly [Justin Ellis], Shaq [Shakeil Lucas], [Vontarrius] Dora, Chuck [Kendrick James], [Malcolm] Pichon, all of those guys up front moving the offensive line and making it easy on me. I give all the credit to them. I tell them that every day and coach Dameron with his play calling and coach Koonz is a great coach so it is not just me."On comparing LA Tech's d-line to others:"This is the best d-line I have ever played behind to be honest. Some of those guys up front they can do everything. Big Jelly [Justin Ellis] at 300-plus pounds with the way he runs. IK [Enemkpali] is the strongest defensive lineman I have ever been around. He throws 300-pound tackles and then goes to make the sack. That is crazy. He reminds me of Von Miller actually. Playing against Von Miller and seeing him in person, IK and him are the same person in my eyes."On playing Army's triple option offense:"When I first got into college, the two teams I said I would never want to play, not because I was afraid of them or it would be hard, are Navy and Army. That is because of their offenses that they run. The whole game is smash mouth football. If you mess up one time, one little crease, they can go to the house. It is difficult, but I think our coaches are going to get us ready and we will be ready for them."On how much Army's offense tests discipline:"The whole game, from the first snap to the end, it will test discipline. I have a lot of respect for those guys with what they do. It is not just about football. They are going to get their dates and assignments after they graduate to go serve our country so I know they are tough. Football is like a break for them. They go out onto the field, they go out into the woods for a week during school and then they get to come take a break and play football. They love it. They are going to fight the whole game. We are going to have to be very disciplined."On being from a military break ground:"My dad was in the army for 25 years. All of my uncles were in the army so I moved around a lot as a child. I remember waking up as a little kid and going to run and do PT with my dad and the troops. I wanted to go out and go to camp with them and stay out in the woods and train. I know a lot about army. I know the discipline and how they fight. They are trained to never give up every day, 24-7. It is just not in them to stop. Even if they are down by 50 points, they are going to keep fighting and running their offense to a tee. We will have to be prepared and disciplined."On what it means for him to play Army:"I respect army. Most games there is usually a little trash talk every now and then, but I do not think I can trash talk army. I respect them that much. It is an honor for me to play them because I know it is not about football. After, they have to go serve their terms and they are going to be fighting for our country."On if this game suits the defense:"I think it is going to play to our advantage, but at the same time the way they run the ball is not like every other team. It is tricky. They arc tight ends, pull tight ends. They let people free and then make us make a decision on the quarterback and [running] back. If you make the wrong decision there is a crease there. It is going to play to our advantage if we are disciplined. If not, they can crease us all day."On if the Cobb family will be in attendance:"My dad and uncles are going to be there and my mom. It should be a good turnout. I am excited."On if the Cobb family will wear Army or LA Tech gear:"LA Tech, of course."Wide receiver Hunter LeeOn the move from H receiver to Y receiver:"It has been a lot more physical. At Y, they teamed me with Jon Greenwalt. It is typically more of the bigger guys, the ones that can go in and block the defensive ends or the middle linebackers. That usually is not the most fun thing to do, but it is a challenge. I have enjoyed it and it is just another spot to work at and get better."On how the offense has changed with the quarterback change:"Really, I have not seen too much of a difference. We are learning the same plays, same offense. It is really just different guys getting the ball out. Honestly, I have seen the same team moral. Not to take anything away from both of them, they both play good football games, but we just have little things to work on and correct those. Then I think we will be a force to be reckoned with on offense."On his touchdown catch at Kansas:"I definitely expected myself to make that play. A buddy I live with was telling me that somebody had tweeted - some sports writer - that I had the wingspan of a small hamster. [laughter] I guess so! But I was very lucky to make the play and I sure got excited.Question: If it was a guinea pig do you think you would have made the catch?"Oh, absolutely."On what it means to play a game at the Cotton Bowl being from the Metroplex:"It is awesome. As a kid, I always went to the Cotton Bowl. I have seen Arkansas play there and Oklahoma. It is a great stadium and a great atmosphere. Whenever you get to go to your hometown to get to play football again it is pretty exciting. I will be sure to have some fans at that game."On if he has enough tickets:"Hopefully. It looks like Daniel Cobb is trying to take them all."On what the coaches have done to try to get him more involved:"We have different packages. We see the three-back sets so we are able to do many variations out of that. We can run the ball. We are starting to run more screens, dishing the ball out to more guys. Really that is about it."On what is was like to see Trent Taylor have a long reception:"It really excites me just to see the talent that he has and what he can become. That really makes me look forward to the future of Tech when looking at the now. He can contribute any way he can."On stopping the redzone deficiencies:"I really think a lot of it is just really focusing on ball security. Those turnovers, most of them are because of fumbles. I really think just being cautious of being loose with the ball when we get to the redzone will help. We just really have to fine-tune some things. We left a lot of points up on the board and if we correct those we will be good to go."On having the work ethic of a smaller football player:"I get it all the time. I have gotten from so many people that I look like I am in the band. People mistake me for being in the band. I do not expect any more really. I think we just have a chip on our shoulder. Gilly [Andrew Guillot] was a walk-on, I was a walk-on and Jon [Greenwalt] came from a JUCO. I feel like we all have an understanding that we just have to do as much as we can, if not all, just go above and beyond to make plays and be the best receivers we can be."On relishing the underdog role:"I would say so. I know I can speak for myself I can expect a lot out of myself. I expect to make big plays, to make two or three people miss every time I get the ball. I feel that for the most part."On if you feel like the team has not really been beaten yet:"Last week, we had a great week of practice. Guys really bounced back. Leaders are stepping up and being vocal. I feel like that is going to be the same thing this week. We know the season is not over. I am sure a lot of people have compared it to the 2011 season, and we have to do just that. The defense has been stepping up, playing well. Offensively, we have a lot of things to work on and I can promise you this, we are going to come to practice and give everything we have got. We are going to work and bounce back from this."On being on the 2011 team and knowing this season is not over yet:"Having that, I think is big. For these young guys, they have not experienced something like that. Young guys look up to older ones that still know that we can do this. We can still win conference. We can still go to a bowl game. I think it is big. It keeps us from that snowballing effect and just doing worse and worse. I think we need to just group up together and look up to those older guys. Just stick together through this time and we will be good."On if he considers himself one of the older guys:"I do. It is weird to think of. I do not feel like I have been here for that long, but I expect myself to bring the younger guys along with me to help them get better. If somebody is out of line, I will straighten them up. So I consider myself an older guy as weird as it feels."For complete coverage of Bulldog Football, please follow @LATechFB on Twitter or visit the official home of Louisiana Tech Athletics at LATechSports.com.Print Friendly Version Players Mentioned #74 Larry Banks OL 6' 4" 315 lbs Redshirt Senior #21 Adairius Barnes DB 5' 11" 183 lbs Sophomore #35 Jonathan Barnes K 5' 9" 162 lbs Freshman #78 Mitchell Bell OL 6' 3" 348 lbs Redshirt Junior #75 Darrell Brown OL 6' 4" 288 lbs Redshirt Freshman #69 Vince Cano OL 6' 1" 305 lbs Redshirt Senior #67 Tre Carter OL 6' 1" 306 lbs Junior #47 Daniel Cobb LB 6' 0" 225 lbs Redshirt Senior #77 Jens Danielsen OL 6' 4" 286 lbs Junior #28 Kenneth Dixon RB 5' 10" 220 lbs Sophomore

Dreamin' Daisies Finished
Awhile ago I bought a fat eighth bundle of Dreamin Vintage by Jeni Baker for Art Gallery Fabrics from Pink Castle Fabrics. I saw Jeni had a cute little 2 sided pattern, Lazy Daisy, on her website. You can see them all at In Color Order. I realized I had a vintage sheet that was new in the package, that would match perfectly! If you are unfamiliar with Jeni's work, she loves vintage sheets also. So I knew the combo was meant to be!
It's simple patchwork squares and this pattern could be made with 2 charm packs and a solid as well.
I found a 9 yard bolt of Pellon white cotton batting online at WalMart pretty reasonable and this was my first time using it. I like it but I still like my big roll of Soft N Crafty better. However, I wanted white with this quilt.
The white is Bella solid white 97. I used the last of this and ordered more Bella white 98 (it is brighter white) from Thousands of Bolts. I found them to be the cheapest on Bella solids. They sent me a free spool of Mettler cotton thread. I used it on this quilt and discovered the 3,000 meter spools of Gutermann I buy from JoAnn's actually works better, in my opinion. I had a lot more lint in my machine from the Mettler than I do with the Gutermann. When on sale it's only 10.00, so you really can't beat that!
The binding is a print from the line and purchased at The Intrepid Thread.
I received 2 free quilt labels with my fabric purchase from Pink Castle, a nice surprise! So I used one on this quilt. I'm really loving handmade labels on quilts that I'm keeping or gifting. It just feels more personal. I literally picked the name as I wrote. Dreamin from the fabric line and Daisies from the pattern. Not very original I know, but that's ok :) I put a heavy stabilizer on the back this time but it didn't help my writing any. I know I need to get a bigger tip Micron pen. The .01 just doesn't feel heavy enough to write smoothly. If anyone uses this, which one do you use? I'm thinking the .03 or .05 may help with smoother writing.
The quilt finished at 57 x 70. I lost a few inches from the pattern, but that's nothing new for me...
I've started cutting a Christmas quilt. Yes, I know, a little late. Better late than never is my motto these days!

Congratulation on your finish! It is a lovely quilt. Don't worry about being late to cut up your x-mas quilt...Let's say you are ahead for next Christmas...:-)ReplyDelete
Oups! Sorry for the deleted comment.
This looks great, Christine! So crisp and modern. And it is never too late to start a quilt, really! :)ReplyDelete
Such a sweet finish, and I like the name. It looks so cuddly. I do use the .05 pen, and I put the fabric on sandpaper when I write my labels.ReplyDelete
This is just super! I love Jeni's fabrics and have made many projects from her patterns, too! How fun to have a vintage sheet for the back! I use a fine point sharpie to write with, but it can blur sometimes.ReplyDelete
Your quilt turned out great. I am just in love with the vintage sheet you used. It is just perfect.ReplyDelete
Dream in' Daisies turned out so pretty Christine! The perfect way to show off those gorgeous fabrics! Love your vintage sheet backing too - you just can't beat that for charm! I like what Maryse said - you're not late, you're ahead for next Christmas! LOLReplyDelete
What a lovely quilt! I love the colors! =) Very classic! Happy New Year Christine! =DReplyDelete

I selected The Killer Angels by Micheal Shaara for many reasons. Number one is
that a good friend strongly recommended this book to me a few years ago and I never
found the time to sit down and read it. My friend is a history buff and I did not take his
recommendation too seriously at first, but then he became serious and persistent. He told
me it was the best historical book that he has ever read, and I must read it. I have also
always been fascinated with the sea battles of the Civil War, but never knew too much
about the land battles. These reasons combined with the fact that I had to pick a book
based on a topic that occurred prior to 1900, made it an absolute perfect opportunity to
read The Killer Angels.
Currently, Micheal Shaara, the author, is sixty-eight years old. He has written
novels such as The Broken Place, The Noah Conspiracy, and For Love of The Game.
was born in Jersey City and graduated from Rutgers University in 1951. Micheal
Shaara's first short stories were printed in Galaxy Magazine in 1952 and his first novel
was printed in 1968. Shaara has received high praise from famous people such as General
Norman Schwarzkopf and renowned magazines such as Newsday, Forbes, and Publisher's
The Killer Angels takes the reader step by step through the whole story of
Gettysburg. The content begins with the forward which sets the stage for the whole
battle. The forward informs the reader that the Confederates under the command of
General Robert E. Lee are approaching from the south and have crossed the Potomac.
This is the south's big attempt to attack the army of the north and destroy it. Lee is quite
tired of this...

Freida Pinto: We Need More Female Writers & Directors!
Freida Pinto pulls her own luggage after arriving on a flight at JFK Airport on Tuesday (July 9) in New York City.
The 28-year-old Indian actress flew in from Los Angeles.
Last week, Freida's boyfriend Dev Patel was spotted giving a thumbs up while exiting the Sunset Marquis hotel in Hollywood.
"The only way to cure that problem is to have more female writers and more female directors. There will be a different perspective when you have women writers and women directors. There is sometimes a misconception that a female director can't really tackle manly issues and definitely Kathryn Bigelow proves them wrong," Frieda recently told CNN about the male-dominated world of film.

It may have been a very long time since you have felt fully open to yourself and others. You may not be able to remember a time when you have been so filled with love and joy and your full range of feeling. Or maybe those experiences come often, but you imagine there might be so much more to feel…and it feels just out of your reach, just off the edge of your fingertips…
And you are right.
There is more. And you can access it right now.
It's Not Your Fault
Unfortunately, our western culture is designed in a way that leaves little room for the feminine. Because our western culture still has not yet woken up to a healthy and mature masculinity, the femininity that is most often seen and revered is only that which is accepted by an unhealthy masculine.
This unhealthy masculine keeps it from being safe to open as the fullest expression of your femininity…from your soft, tender side to the oceanic tidal waves of rage that may strike without notice. Your softness isn't safe in the not-yet-matured masculinity of our culture. And your rage, that may very well come from your ability to feel the subtle nuances of presence lacking in those around you, is written off as you "being crazy," or it being "that time of the month again."
With a male-dominated culture and hundreds of generations before you that lost appreciation, respect, and reverence for your femininity (both in women and themselves, as men have work to do in their feminine as well), you were likely never given a healthy role model and space for your femininity to flow freely.
The kinks you feel in you femininity…they're not your fault.
But you do have the power to choose to take responsibility for unkinking the hose that fills your fullness and opening authentically to who you are.
When Your Femininity is Closed, You
Across the board, the women that I speak with, young and old, who lived closed to their own femininity may not necessarily recognize or be aware of the source of their closure as being closed to their femininity. (Though they quickly realize it as the source.)
But they all share some very common challenges that, if their femininity flowed fully and freely, they each recognize that it would drastically improve their lives.
Maybe you can see yourself in some of these, too…
- Men are more drawn to your "more radiant" women friends than to you.
- Your intimate relationships, while not "bad," become comfortable and begin to feel stale.
- You fall asleep each night feeling like another day has passed with even more of you that has gone ungiven, unseen, unheard, and unknown.
- Your days each feel like "just another day," you feel stuck, and you don't quite know how to get unstuck.
- When you walk into a room, you know you have the power to light it up with your love, but for some reason feel like you must hold back.
- In your intimate relationships, you are often with men who don't see the things that are so obvious and maybe even painful to you.
- You know it's possible to connect more often and more deeply, with women and with men, but feel yourself holding back and you don't know why…
- You seem to recurrently attract men who simply can't meet you in your fullness. So you hold back and hope one day they figure it out. Which, they don't. And then you find yourself repeating the cycle again and again.
Your Unencumbered, Open Fullness Doesn't Have to Be Held Back Any Longer. In Fact, it's Only You that is Holding Yourself Back.
As a man who helps women open more fully into their femininity, I've become finely attuned to the subtle nuances of your closure; where it happens, when it happens, how much it happens, and the clues as to why you might have closed.
Those brief moments of closure, the men and women around you feel them. They may not be able to articulate them, and they may not have the awareness or language to describe it, but they are certainly felt. This is the closure that keeps men at a distance. It is the same closure that leads to safe-but-mediocre intimate relationships. And it is the same closure that leaves you feeling unseen and your gifts ungiven at the end of each day.
But, most importantly, it is this closure that keep your own light dim and unseen, your own love left ungiven, and your own self unknown. It is this closure, where you may feel that you're keeping it all in, that actually leaves you drained of the love that you know you are.
The Only Way Out…
It is my experience that the best way to work through all of this is to go through it. You can no longer avoid it. You can no longer tap dance and tip toe around it. You can no longer objectively view it from a distance over wine with your girlfriends as though it were a dress in a shop window.
The only way out is through.
The only way to unchain your resistances, to unkink the flow of love in your life, to reclaim the fullness of your deepest essence and truest nature, is to go into that resistance.
You must go feel through it…through the fear, through the uncertainty, and through the tension that surrounds the closure in your life. Only by feeling through the resistances will you be able to bring down the walls surrounding your heart.
They can not be demolished or attacked from the outside…brute force only makes makes them thicker, taller, and stronger. Those walls will only come down by walking through them to understand with love and compassion why they are there and the purpose they serve.
When the Walls Come Down
For every woman, it's a different experience to have the walls come down from around your heart.
Take a moment to yourself right now.
Feel into it in this moment.
How would your life change if you felt you no longer had to hold yourself back? If you no longer held back and your truest essence flowed freely from you, how would it impact your relationships with the women and men in your life? If those walls came down and you knew what it was like to feel the fullness of your femininity in every moment of every day, day in and day out, how would you feel different in this moment? And the next moment? And the moment after that?
How I Can Help You
Before I go into the details of how I can help, it is important for you to know that I keep only five active clients and each one goes through a reviewal process to make sure I can help. I never want to try and work with someone who I'm not confident I can help. And that obviously goes for you, too. We'll both decide together if we're a good fit.
If we both decide to work together, we'll begin a series of six sessions (in-person or via online video.) which must be done within eight weeks. I understand that things come up which require rescheduling and there may be a week here or there where you simply need to take time to yourself and process the previous week's coaching. But this process also needs to happen in a short enough timeframe in order to be effective. So you can do the initial phase in as fast as six weeks or as long as eight.
In these six sessions, you will learn a system and process that I've designed to help you become more aware of where you're holding back your femininity with yourself and with others. We'll uncover and dive into the areas of resistance that are most holding you back and navigate those areas together. Along with going into the resistances, I will give you daily practices at the end of each session that will help you not only to dissolve your resistances, but to also help you open further into the fullness of your femininity.
At the end of these six weeks, we'll both decide together how to move forward. For some women, these six weeks are enough. For others, they've decided to commit even more time and energy to this area of their life and we continue working together for as long as they continue finding it valuable.

As a writer and stay-at-home dad, I basically do two things in an average day: write about religion/politics and take care of my four-year-old son. I reflected on both those experiences for the Deseret News (in Salt Lake City). In the article, What Can Third-Graders Learn from Trump and Clinton?, I note that kids are learning about the campaign even if we don't think so. I also offered a couple of thoughts on using the campaign for teaching moments for my son on how to act (and not act).
The 2016 campaign has sadly brought many moments when I quickly hit the mute button on the radio or looked over my shoulder to make sure my son hadn't snuck out of bed. Amazingly, Republican Senator Kelly Ayotte, who is locked in a close re-election bid in New Hampshire, declared during a debate last night that she "absolutely" saw Donald Trump as a role model for children. Her campaign released a statement that evening saying she "misspoke" and blasted both candidates as poor role models. Democrats are already rightly zinging her for the debate remark. Trump's profanity, misogyny, racism, and name-calling make him a horrible public example for our kids.
A couple of the most brilliant campaign ads during this presidential election came from Hillary Clinton's campaign. Even though I do not plan to vote for her, I must admit her ad team wisely saw the power of simply featuring Trump in his own words. Probably the best one featured children watching Trump say profane and outrageous things on TV.
It's an important reminder. Kids are watching our campaign, often thinking Trump and Clinton are what it looks like to be a leader. So the words of our candidates matter. We must demand better!
Has this campaign sparked conversations with your young kids or grandkids?

ASA's GPS Trainer V.2.0 — For renters who may face one brand of GPS one day and another the next...for the instructor teaching in multiple aircraft...for aircraft owners trying to master the nuances of their favorite navigational tool.
ASA has expanded the popular software product GPS Trainer, adding 3 more GPS unit tutorials for a total training package of 6 of the most popular IFR-approved and handheld GPS receivers on the market today.
Learn to use the KLN 89B/94, GNS 430/530, and GPSMAP 295, and the Apollo GX 50/60. The FAA does not mandate design, labeling, function, and operation of GPS receivers. With this lack of standardization, pilots are left to their own devices to learn each unit. Applicable to both VFR and IFR operations, all the tasks GPS can help you with are covered. Exercises are included throughout. Intuitive software is as easy to use as reading a book. Movie clips, animations, original figures and diagrams accelerate the learning process. Emulators integrate with the tutorial for hands-on practice of each task. Includes the manufacturer's simulators for the GNS 430, GNS 530, KLN 89B, and GX 50/60 (manufacturers simulators not available or included for the GPSMAP 295 and KLN 94).
PC and Mac compatible.

Questions over oil and gas development, education policy, water rights, legal marijuana and mental health in Colorado dominated what was overall a friendly debate Monday night between seven Republican candidates running for governor.
However, the men on stage - candidate Cynthia Coffman, Colorado's attorney general, was not able to attend due to a scheduling conflict - quickly honed in on a common enemy. Jared Polis, the U.S. congressman vying for the state's top job from the Democratic side, came under fire from a couple of the GOP candidates.
Colorado treasurer Walker Stapleton hit the Boulder Democrat the hardest, saying Polis' tough stance on oil and gas drilling in the state will give Coloradans "an economic future none of us can afford in Colorado."
"The threat that matters is Jared Polis," Stapleton said toward the end of the evening, noting Polis' massive personal wealth that could fund a long and bruising general election campaign next year.
Republican firebrand Tom Tancredo, who only entered the race less than two weeks ago, also called Polis out by name and focused first and fiercest on the issue that he has become synonymous with: illegal immigration.
"None of these people should be here to begin with," he said during opening remarks of those who have entered the country unlawfully.
He also criticized cities in Colorado, like Denver and Boulder, that he said are giving safe harbor to those who are in the United States illegally.
"It is against the law to have a sanctuary city," Tancredo said at the forum, which was hosted by the Republican Women of Weld at The Historic Fort in Fort Lupton.
Aside from Tancredo and Stapleton, the forum featured Doug Robinson, an investment banker and nephew of Mitt Romney; Victor Mitchell, a businessman and former state lawmaker; Larimer County Commissioner Lew Gaiter; Steve Barlock, co-chair of President Trump's Colorado presidential campaign; and Greg Lopez, former mayor of Parker who also served as the Colorado state director of the Small Business Administration.
The past couple of weeks' lead-up to Monday's forum has featured significant political shifts in the 2018 gubernatorial contest, with Tancredo's entry into the race last month and Coffman's decision to throw her hat in the ring last week.
Aside from Coffman's absence at the debate, Republican George Brauchler, who was once considered a leading contender in the race, was also not there. The district attorney for the 18th Judicial District announced on Monday that he will suspend his gubernatorial campaign and instead enter the race for attorney general.
The contest for governor includes at least five people running on the Democratic side, the most notable being Polis. They have said they are generally running on a platform that includes as a central component pushing back against the Trump administration's policies, on topics from immigration to the environment.
The oil and gas industry is also expected to be a focal point in the attorney general's race, as well as in the contest for governor.
On that topic, Mitchell echoed a common theme Monday, saying that rules and regulations are smothering the energy industry in Colorado and need to be rolled back.
"We are most regulated state for oil and gas in the country," he said.
In all, he advocated getting rid of 100,000 pages of regulations currently guiding businesses in the state.
Robinson said oil and gas extraction has a $32 billion economic impact in the state and the industry is responsible for creating many high-paying jobs.
"Those are the jobs we want in Colorado," he said.
Recent efforts by cities and counties in Colorado to place stricter limits on oil and gas activity is a "threat" to the industry, he said. All the candidates agreed that the industry should be regulated at the state level - not at the municipal level.
Lopez said the tensions over oil and gas are akin to many of the battles taking place between outlying parts of the state, where energy and agriculture dominate, and the urban Front Range.
"This country is divided, our state is divided between urban and rural," he said.
Tancredo labeled the growing anger over oil and gas activity closer to homes and schools in the suburbs north of Denver as an "irrational opposition."
"It's based on a hatred for that industry and the development that comes with it," he said.
The candidates were also asked a question about whether they thought legalized marijuana was contributing to mental health issues in the state. Several candidates said there is a connection, with Stapleton making the most forceful remark.
"Mental health is a manifestation of legalized marijuana," he said.
The candidates all lined up together on school choice as an integral part of public education, despite voters in conservative Douglas County last week choosing to put in a school board that is distinctly anti-voucher.
"The single most important thing we have to do is get parents involved and that includes school choice that involves education," Gaiter said.
Barlock was the most strident of the candidates on several issues, including education, labeling teachers unions as "crooked."
"We need to be strong against the unions," he said.
Several candidates on Monday called for additional water storage in the state to help Colorado capture more of it and allow less of it to flow out of state. They said several large-scale reservoir projects need to move forward.

Yesterday did not see the progress of previous days for Anthea.
The medical team decided to try and wake Anthea up. Mike and Charis were asked to join her. However, the process clearly was causing Anthea distress so they ceased the process.
This was a difficult time for the family, so your prayers for them will be most appreciated.
Today, they will perform a tracheotomy so that she can breathe without tubes in her mouth. They hope this will mean that when they attempt to wake her again, it will be less distressing for her as a result.

Horticultural and botanical musings from the Rockies, Great Plains and beyond. In humble tribute to Goddess Flora.
Thursday, September 29, 2011
1) they were taken at different times of the day, so the plants look really DIFFERENT, even though I swear on a stack of bibles it's the same individual.
2) This is one hell of a clone. Definitely deserves to be propagated and named. (Hint).
3) The aster in last year's picture is missing: Greg Foreman tells me some yahoo dug the sucker up (i.e. stole it). I think that is a very sad commentary on humanity.
4) One of the greatest things that have happened in my life is to be party to the introduction of such stunning plants to general cultivation. Life is good: even though jerks steal plants.
5) Greg Foreman, his incredible colleagues and Kendrick Lake Gardens are among the loveliest people and places on Planet Earth.
I've written more than enough about this Salvia. I have seen it at any number of local nurseries this autumn (even though people tell me it is hard to find). It is worth any effort to obtain and grow--especially those blessed with pedocals and exposed gardens. It is the OFFICIAL plant of Lakewood, Colorado (a very wise town indeed). There are those who dislike the extremely aromatic, pungent (and did I mention fragrant?) foliage: bruise a leaf and you can smell it for yards and for hours. I think it smells terrific. Why are we pumping metric tons of carbon into the atmosphere every few minutes (shame on you, Republicans, for denying manifest truths like evolution and global warming), endangering a fragile planet and our future we are lucky enough to share this sacred earth with salviapaloozas like this. Sigh.

Very Nice! But blooming at the 'wrong' time. Mine has finished blooming, setting seed, dropping seed, haboring a wasp's nest and getting ready for me to pile 5 to 10 feet of snow on top of it.ReplyDelete
I love this Salvia. It does well for us in the 4 Corners at 7400' and only gets better with age. Ive never met anyone introduced to it for the first time that did not immediately fall in love with fit too. And it's also one of those deer proofs that all customers are clamoring for all the time. It's also easy from seed and although I've never tried cuttings, I hope the KL clone will root because that's one hell of a clone!ReplyDelete
Maybe Russian sage will have to bow down one of these days soon to make room for all together classier and tougher plant!
Jim: I think your Salvia really is a hybrid with dorrii (if it's the one I'm thinking of)...although the pachyphyllas in Dryland Mesa are also in seed. Nothing like getting pummeled by hail in early summer and good rains to keep a plant blooming, which may explain Kendrick's late glory: it is spectacular there...astonished that it does so well for you, Jeff! It is a tough cookie indeed: hope I will see it in a few days?ReplyDelete

Sweet F.A.: A Rock and Roll Fashion Show
Sweet F.A.: A fashion show where bros put on a bunch of guy-liner and try to act rock and roll, and are spotted being impatient at the bar after the fashion show, and then overheard saying "Bro, I like look so weird bro! Like what if I got arrested tonight, that would be so funny being in jail and looking this weird." Its true people, I really overheard this horrific conversation. Granted this was only one of the male models. But after reading in Marjorie Skinner's column in the Mercury that this show uses more alternative models, I was pretty shocked that this bro slipped through the cracks. I was also surprised to see the guy who got screamed at by a photographer for not walking far enough down the runway at fashion week. He was doing a better job this time around, but maybe that's because there was no runway. At least one of the male models kept doing this nice shaky leg dance and another one jerked off glitter at the end of the show--good job boys!
All this nonsense aside, there were some good clothes showcased at Sweet F.A. There were also some duds (generic plaid button up shirts, COME ON!).
It was impossible for me to tell who designed what, and that kinda sucked. One of the designers was Alexis Buck who did my makeup last summer at the Lancome counter, and I really wanted to know which stuff was hers! Other designers featured were Alyson Clair, Carloyn Hart, Adam Andreas, Cano Apparel, Flood Clothing, Squeak Designs, Owl Haus, and Amy Elizabeth Couture.
Probably the best thing about this show was that I learned the origin of the slang term Sweet F.A., which comes from British slang meaning "nothing" (how nihilistic!) and is referencing this sweet little girl Fanny Adams who was brutally murdered and dismembered by some creep in a field. Read the whole Wikipedia article its pretty funny, well that is if you can laugh at child murder:

Voter apathy could cost Burbank millions of dollars if Measure U fails at the polls in April.
Measure U, a utility tax for telephone users, would modernize the city's tax codes to include new technology and preserve a substantial revenue stream for Burbank.
If the measure fails to pass on April 12, declining telephone land line use by consumers in the city could result in a potential loss of $6.1 million, or 4.3% percent of General Fund revenue, city officials warned.

The hype's been everywhere (or so it seems), but it was this Fiction Writers Review piece on Wells Tower's new story collection that really motivated me to attend a reading featuring Tower the other evening. Great event. Now, I must get the book.
Speaking of hype--I'm sure plenty of you followed last week's big online story about another online story: Dan Baum's Twitter-based revelations of his association with the New Yorker. Here's something a bit different: an interview with Baum, courtesy of The Renegade Writer, focusing on "writing for the big names - and the future of journalism."
And on a sad, yet inspiring note: check out the online home of a spring term Pomona College course, English 166: David Foster Wallace. The site includes a blog maintained by the course participants, as well as a link to the wiki that has emerged from it. An amazing resource for anyone interested in Wallace and his work - and, I think, for teachers of literature and writing.

I finished Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned yesterday, and I have to admit that I am now an official Wells Tower groupie. The writing is fantastic and the stories are endlessly enjoyable, despite the dark and often cynical tone. Highly recommended.
