By: Chris Davenport
Our first ski experience of the 'Ring of Fire' Volcano Tour couldn't have gone better. Daron, Jess and I have been so excited to get this trip underway, and now that we have our first peak under our belts, we are thrilled.
After a three-hour drive from Reno with "Captain" Grant Burrow behind the wheel, we pulled into Lassen National Park and the "Devastated Area" parking lot at 5 pm yesterday evening. We spent the good part of two hours pulling all our gear and food out of the RV to sort and organize everything. With two weeks of food from Whole Foods Market, Bare Naked Granola, and Clif Bar on-board for 5-6 people/day, we had a lot to go through.
Although it probably wasn't necessary to wake up so early for what would be a relatively short climb and ski, we were so anxious that we had the coffee on and were gearing up at 6:15 am this morning. The sunrise illuminated the grand northeast Face of Lassen, the unstable weather having pushed out the day before.
We were skinning through the forest at 7 am and by 8 am were above the treeline and climbing steadily. If any of you have been following Jess' blog or her tweets (@jessmcmillan), you know that she has been training like crazy at home in Jackson, WY, and has climbed almost 75,000 vertical feet in the last three weeks. I was feeling good as well, having just come back from a wonderful trip to the Alaska Range, and Daron, well, he's just about as strong as they come.
(Post is continued after the jump.)
With the 'Ring of Fire' Volcano Tour upon us, we feel lucky to have the one and only Joel Gratz in our corner. Joel is well-known in the ski world for his ski-focused weather expertise. He's the founder of OpenSnow.com, and he's put together quite the forecast for the tour. His meteorological two-cents are below:
Although it's snowing a bit now in northern California and Oregon and Washington, The Luck of the Davenport will once again compel the weather gods to put up clear skies for a big expedition!
Leftover snow showers will fall Thursday night and Friday over northern California, but when it's time for your first peak on Saturday, the weather will be perfect. In fact, the weather looks generally dry from Saturday through at least the next week. I don't want to speculate about details beyond a week, but even the longer-range forecasts look promising.
I attached a spreadsheet with links to weather forecasts for each Volcano for the entire trip. You can also access the spreadsheet via this link to a Google Document.
For each peak I provided a link to the point forecast for the summit (thanks to the National Weather Service). There are actually two links — one with the typical text forecast, and another one with a graphical view of more detailed data. Unless (until) the weather starts to not cooperate, these links will be all that you'll need to determine temperatures and winds and the low/no threat of precipitation. On Saturday, it looks like temperatures at the summit will climb above freezing by 9am, with lower elevations obviously warming more quickly. Timing and finding the corn looks like the main challenge this week.
If you want forecasts for other areas surrounding the peaks, click on the link for the text forecast, locate the google map in the middle-right of the page, and click on another point on the map.
Feel free to get in touch with me if you have weather questions, and I'll check in a bit later to make sure the longer range forecast bows to Dav's incredible weather luck.
Be safe & have fun!
Thanks Joel! We'll likely be calling on you more as the tour progresses. Weather will play a huge role in the tour, no doubt.

Some families in Montgomery County are dealing with damaged homes from the last big snow. The damage was caused by snow removal crews clearing the snow from the shoulder along Interstate 270.
The snow was sent so high that it breached 20-foot retainer walls and hit a number of homes in Gaithersburg and Germantown.
"Like a bomb or something," said John Nguyen.
It was a frightening moment for Nguyen and his wife as a wave of snow and debris were shot at the back of his home, breaking windows and damaging the siding.
Next-door neighbor Kristi Belcher was eating breakfast with her kids when her home was hit. A rock tore the window screen inches away from them, but fortunately did not shatter the glass.
The homes back up to northbound I-270 in Germantown. On Friday morning, crews were using snow blowers to clear the side of the interstate, but the snow and debris flew right over the retainer wall.
"If there had been a rock that had fallen a little higher, we probably would have been taking our kids to the emergency room," Belcher added.
It was a similar story in Gaithersburg where Andrea Black lives on southbound I-270.
There was no major damage to her home, but she says in the past 30 years, she has never seen anything like it.
"I'm not sure if he was too close to the embankment because I've seen them clean after the big snow a few years ago and nothing like that ever happened before," said Black.
A spokesperson for the Maryland State Highway Administration sent a statement to FOX 5: "SHA sincerely apologizes for the inconvenience and impact to residents from snow removal operations along some areas of Interstate 270 last week. SHA strives to conduct snow removal in a safe manner and this situation was not acceptable. We will determine what happened and take steps to prevent it from happening again. We will make sure any damages are covered by the contractor(s) to make residents whole again. We are truly sorry for the situation and will work to make sure it is not repeated."

Milwaukee–(EDIT: Jamal Crawford (toe) is out. He said he hurt his right toe late in the Wizards game when (he thinks) big JaVale McGee came down on his foot while challenging a shot. He said he had turf toe during his New York days but that injury was "much worse" than this one. Crawford hopes to play Wednesday vs. Cleveland even if the game has no bearing on seeding for the playoffs.)
Tense scene at Hawks shootaround today. Woody was going over the Hawks' defensive rotations and he felt some players were taking the lesson too lightly. So Woody told them in salty terms he didn't see what was so funny considering opponents had been exploiting the Hawks' in that very situation late in games.
Woody headed for the bus without talking to reporters. (Edit: In pregame Woody said: "That's my time. That's time for me and my staff. I don't want to have to keep repeating myself because that means you're not listening.")
Clearly he's not happy with the Hawks' focus with game No. 81 tonight.
"That just comes with having a young team," J.J. said. "Honestly that's something we need to work on as players is locking in and having more attention to detail. Because that does come back to haunt us late in games."
These things happen over the course of a long season, of course, but the circumstances had to bother Woody.
The Hawks are still playing for the third seed in the East. They aren't a very good road team and have a tough task against the Bucks tonight, especially
if with Jamal (toe) sits out. Leaving shooters open due to lax rotations has been an issue for much of the last half of the season–you only need to look back to the Wizards game Saturday to see how the Hawks can be nonchalant about rotating and closing out.
The Hawks seemed to take Woody's blowup in stride.
"It can be tough late in the year like this," Al said. "You don't want to look ahead but you can't help but look ahead at the playoffs. We have to do a better job as a team trying to key in and finish the right way."
– The Bucks are 3-1 in games without Bogut. Old pro Kurt Thomas is picking up most of Bogut's minutes and as pointed out by Charlie G., my old colleague at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Bucks are adjusting on the fly without Bogut:
"Bucks coach Scott Skiles has to do a balancing act with his lineup now that Bogut is absent and the team is relying on a center trio of Thomas, Dan Gadzuric and Primoz Brezec. At times, Skiles has elected to go with a smaller lineup, as he did in the fourth quarter Saturday with Brandon Jennings, Luke Ridnour, John Salmons and Jerry Stackhouse combining with 6-10 Ersan Ilyasova."
Thomas is in his 15th season. Obviously there's a dropoff from Bogut to Thomas in production, skill and size. But Thomas still is a pretty good pick-and-pop shooter
and a tough rebounder and post defender.
"He's a very solid vet that knows how to play," Horford said. "That's the kind of guy you like to have on your team."
Look for Al to take Thomas out to the perimeter, where he should have little trouble zipping by him.
– The only thing that can be settled for the Hawks in the playoff picture tonight is eliminating Charlotte as a potential foe. That happens if Miami wins at Philadelphia tonight to draw 3 games clear of Charlotte with each team having two more to play. Both the Bucks and Bobcats would win a tiebreaker over the Heat.
Jon Newberry at Hawksbasketblog breaks it down: "(T)here are too many possible scenarios of how things could shake out to go through them all. The simplest scenario is if we win our last two games against Milwaukee and against Cleveland and Miami wins their last two game. In that case the matchups would be ATL (3) vs. MIL (6) and BOS (4) vs. MIA (5)."
– THHB has a poll up at Peachtree Hoops asking who Hawks fans would rather face in the first round. So far it's the Bucks in a landslide.

It'd be interesting to see how the Hawks do without Jamal. Obviously they were pretty successful without him last year but, he's become such a big part of the offense, I wonder if they'd be able to pull out a W anyway.
Any opinion on who you'd rather see in the first round MC? I personally would rather avoid Miami. They've had our number all season and D Wade scares me if he's got revenge on his mind

Crawford missed a game before the AS break (I think it was against Miami), and we struggled mightily, because we dont really have anyone on the bench to pick up the scoring. I'm sure Teague and Mo will give it their best, but against the Bucks, that will not be good enough.
However, if he's hurting, I hope he sits out. Becuase I dont want it to get any worse.
I'm glad Woody is getting on these guys, because its not easy to turn it on once you get to the playoffs. I expect the Hawks to come put and play better and defend better. Because even if we have a scoring drought, there is no excuse for not defending and rebounding.
April 12th, 2010
3:00 pm
LOL the reason players were joking around is because this team has no leadership. Smoove tries to be a leader but isn't talented enough.
Everyone else in the rotation just doesn't talk. Bibby is quiet — Marvin is quiet — Joe doesn't talk — Horford and Crawford don't talk. ZaZa is ZaZa. So WHERE's the leadership? This team has no LeBron or Kobe or Wade or Garnett. All we have is Joe who doesn't talk and Smoove who has enough concerns about his game to lead this team
April 12th, 2010
3:00 pm
I can't believe the people in that poll. They would rather face the Bucks? They must be out of their minds. I would much rather face the Heat. The Bucks will give holy h#ll to whoever they play in the 1st round.
Woody takes so much crap on here, but I love him. Good for him getting on those guys for going half-ars through the pregame. At somepoint, these defensive breakdowns we see stop being Woody's fault and become the fault of the players. I truely believe Woody does all he can do to prepare these guys.
I do not like our chances tonight without Crawford. The Bucks do not have Bogut, so that even things a little, I think..

If we did play Miami in the playoffs, then WOODY NEEDS TO LOOK AT THE VIDEO ON YOUTUBE OF CRAWFORD DROPPING 50+ ON WADE. WHY DO WE NOT ISO CRAWFORD VS THE HEAT WHEN WE PLAY THEM?

how is he gone get mad when its his fault they have exploited us at the end of every game… Coach that means your not doin your job by not making any adjustments. and who waits to the 81st game to try 2 change everything. if u dont have it by now your not going to get it

ken, stop it. You really think there aren't any adjustments made by Woody? You win 51-games and never make adjustments…right.
April 12th, 2010
3:14 pm
Guys clowning around might explain why they have been so terrible defensively lately. The way they are playing on the defensive end they are going to struggle to beat anybody in the first round.
April 12th, 2010
3:25 pm
i think we have to avoid miami as well. it's not because i don't think we can beat them–it's just that i think they have the talent to beat us in a 7 game series. almost happened last year and i'd rather see milwaukee without boget than the heat with wade, o'neal and the refs.
need to win tonight and have the celtics lose on tuesday and then use wednesday to rest jamal. he needs to play tonight–put the pressure on boston for tuesday and then rest up some folks on wednesday if we have the third seed locked up.
go hawks–put the bucks away early!!!
April 12th, 2010
3:29 pm
I give Woody a hard time, but to be fair, its not always his fault.
Although I am not a big fan of the switching defense when it gets abused and he makes no adjustments, the ineffectiveness is magnified sometimes because the PLAYERS are lackadasical on their switching, and dont close out fast enough. And how hard is it to get a hand up?
And just because the switching leaves our players out of position sometimes, there have been times when the PLAYERS dont give the necessary effort to secure the rebound, and there's no excuse for that.
So its not always Woody's fault. Players have to share some of the blame.
April 12th, 2010
3:29 pm
Michael, I think you are still a little too much of a Heat fan. They aren't that good. They are not close to the Bucks, unless Bogut is out. Hawks match up much better with the Heat.
April 12th, 2010
3:40 pm
that caption/photo combo is funny.
Interesting times … cant rest the starters as we are still bucking for the No. 3 seed and the chance to avoid CLE if we make it to the 2nd round ….
WHO sends WHO a message tonight? Reading the game recap on ESPN, the C's were trying to put something in the back of the minds of MIL w/trash talk and chippiness.
April 12th, 2010
3:49 pm
If some of the starters lack defensive intensity, sit them down for a few minutes & replace them w/ defensive guys (Ex. # 1 = Mario).
U don't want to leave Mario out there for too long, b/c he's a liability on offense, but it might send a message to the starters.
April 12th, 2010

Have you yet been able to discern if there's a single Hawks' player who takes on the disciplinary role with his teammates that Kobe takes with the Lakers, that Jordan took with the Bulls, that KG takes with the Celtics (remember Big Baby's tears on the bench last year?), etc? Someone who implores his teammates to achieve what they won't/can't simply under the guise of the HC? With what, by some reports, appears to be such a 'happy -go-lucky' bunch, how far can this side be expected to go without this sort of teammate? Must we import a Chris Paul type take charge guy before we can expect our core to be 'driven' to the next level by a teammate, or is there someone amongst the current core who's capable of taking on this role? If he's already here, what'll it take for him to step up?
April 12th, 2010
4:13 pm
It concerns me that this team needs to be lectured on their focus in Game 81. I blame team leadership, i.e. our wannabe max player JJ, rather than Woody. If the players don't realize that the 3 seed is better than the 4 seed, it's Joe's job to convey that. He's just not that kind of guy, and everyone in the NBA tends to follow the mood/tempo of their lead guy even more than the coach. In the ideal situation the coach sets the tone and the lead guy conveys it (see Kobe and LeBron).
The Hawks definitely need to play Mil rather than Mia because any team with a superstar on the floor can beat you in a short series.

MC, I don't think you can seriously consider yourself a contender for the ECF if you are worried about who you play in the first round…However, if for some reason it worked out that the Hawks didn't have to face the Heat in the first round…I doubt you would get any complaints in the Hawks locker room. lol
I think the Heat, the Bucks, and Bobcat are all good teams…they all will be a difficult draw in the first round…if I had to pick an opponent…I would have to pick the Bucks. It will be interesting to see how things unfold.
I think it was long over due for Woody to hold these guys more accountable for their listless performance in the fourth quarter. I think they need to win the last two games to build some momentum going into the playoff. Winning tonight in Milwaukee will go a long ways towards that. I will be looking to see if the Hawks can build off their last road victory…that has proven to be a difficult task for these guys.

This blog confirms what I said yeterday: the Hawks are bored and ready for the playoffs to start, and this is why they have been playing down to their level of competition for the past few weeks. I'm glad that Woody responded the way that he did, because this is an important game tonight, both to send a message to a potential playoff opponent and to secure the third seed. I hope that Crawford plays.
Good point on the level of discourse, MC.

Hey MC, Read a rumor today that Mo Evans is going to opt out of his deal.
I thought his deal was a TEAM option, it must be a player option instead. Maybe it's not true, maybe it is. We'd miss his toughness for sure.
If we did lose him, I'd love to see us add a scorer (like the Mike Miller we saw Saturday who is a free agent). We'd be very hard to zone with him, Jamal and Bibby in the game. But, may be easy to score on.

I don't want Jamal to be out because 1) we'll lose 2) Most importantly, he'll come back out of rhyhtm like with his shoulder injury, or maybe this is different because it won't affect his shooting, or will it? Was that a fragment? Did Woody slap Jeff? Why does Woody always single Marvin out, Marvin is good at Basketball.

I will say this season has been a roller coaster ride. So high Highs and so low Lows. But thankfully more highs than lows. I might come off like I'm always pissed at this team but I am proud of em. Lets just finish strong.

I said it a few days ago, i've felt it all season, Evans isn't happy about the lack of effort by the young core of the team. its too inconsistent for someone that brings 100% everytime he is called off the bench. he's better than marvin and doesn't get used enough, why would he want to stay?
He would be a solid addition to most teams in the nba.
that description of attitudes could probably be used interchangeably in terms of Joe Johnson. Joe Johnson and Mo Evans are very serious about winning every single night, why would they want to be on a team with younger players / bigger contracts / no dedication? Joe doesn't vocalize it because he doesn't want to deal with the drama that comes along with constructive criticism, but inside he's on fire and probably has plenty of things to say to the rest of the team. these are just assumptions, but you can almost see it in how they play. Joe Smith is another guy who can really help a team if they let him, but the Hawks younger players don't seem to realize how much that dude knows about basketball, and they often (like today at practice) don't seem like they want to learn.
Basketball is a game, and, treating it as such, the Hawks don't always seem to take it seriously. its the stuff that's not fun that wins you championships. No one likes to listen to coaches or teachers at the end of the season / semester, but if you want to win in the playoffs, thats what it takes. Not taking practice seriously is disrespectful not only to the entire organization, but to the players themselves. If you can't take your job seriously, how are people going to take you seriously?
April 12th, 2010
6:02 pm
…and if you're not taking the game seriously, players (possibly Mo / JJ) who do, are going to put themselves on a different team. A team whose players share that same serious mentality about playing and winning in the game of basketball.
money is unfortunately the biggest factor so we never really know the underlying reasons as to why players decide to stay or go

By far I prefer the Bucks to the Heat in round 1. The Heat almost beat us last year and they've been playing well the last few weeks, plus they have D Wade and beat us 3 times this year. The Bucks were a bit lucky to beat us one time and are without their best player, who happens to be a big. That gives us a huge advantage against them.
April 12th, 2010
6:18 pm
Not sure about the source of the Mo Evans rumor but this is not the proper time to air out such dirty laundry. Mo Evans has his positive moments on this team but he is certainly replaceable. If he has a player option for next year, he is in his right to exercise that part of the contract. If his agent can work a deal that gets him a starter job (as a SG) for any of the elite teams above the Hawks than he should go for it.
April 12th, 2010

this disussion about who is the Hawks' leader confirms why people would like to see Woodson relieved of his duties. Woodson should already have his sargeant appointed and barking directions to the remaining players. I thought that would be Bibby's contribution to the club, but apparently that message has not been enforced enough. When your team is lacking effort, that sargeant barks out the reinforcement – even if they don't always have the best ability, they show through determination and passion that effort will be present and easily identified. Woodson needs to challenge Joe to physically confront the players if he has the nerve to ask for franchise-player designated money because if Joe leaves, Woodson should leave.

While I hear Bibby is a jokester, I hear he also doesn't talk much. People say JJ is laid back. Wtf does that mean? Is the guy talkative or not? Hubie Brown said Jamal is very soft-spoken and quiet during the ATL/CLE game 2 weeks ago so I wasn't sure. When I met him he was very nice.
Also, does anyone remember Sekou's post 2 years ago about how we need a Ron Artest? It was February 2008 and he used some really weird word to describe a really powerful/beastly player the other team will fear and how the Hawks didn't have one. I'll look for it now

Don't fancy Hawks chances tonight if Jamal does not play.
Not suprised Hawks were not taking defence seriously. It's caused them a bunch of games this season. And the problem always seems to start with the starters. The second unit plays far more aggresive defence. They also hustle for boards. In fact, the 2nd unit seems to play a different brand of basketball altogether. 1st unit thinks they can just sleepwalk through a game, and win.
Give me the Bucks anyday. When was the last time they made the playoffs? Let Miami and Celtics duke it out.
Go, Hawks!
April 12th, 2010
7:36 pm
I think you are all getting carried away with this "Hawks need a leader" stuff. Someone mentioned how the Hawks do not have a Kobe, LeBron, or Wade to lead. What makes those guys good leaders? Just because they are good? Artest is a leader? Why? Because people are afraid of him?
The Hawks problem is maturity. That's why they lose to a bad Piston team, a bad GS team, and a bad 76′er team. They think they can just flip a switch and start to play like an NBA title team. They can't. I really do not think there is a team in the league today that can, frankly.
I also do not think any of us, including the hacks, know this team well enough to say who is a leader and who isn't. Is Bibby? Is Joe? Who the F knows?
I do think Woody is a leader, though. We all love Josh Smith, but I would be willing to bet he would not be half the player he is today without Woody refusing to take his bullsh#t. And, I say again, good for Woody to blast those guys for not paying attention during a walk through.
A mature team comes out tonight and plays with great effort against a team they might play in the first round. Great time to send a message that they can beat the Bucks at home, on the road, on Mars, it doesn't matter. But, these are the Hawks…we know what we will get. They lose tonight. We all know this.
Despite all that, I still say they will be ready to roll for the playoffs. I just hope it is not the Bucks they face. Matchup problems everywhere…
April 12th, 2010
7:51 pm
A leader does not guarantee that the Hawks wont lose to bad teams. After all, look how many games Boston has lost to bad teams, and KG is one of the leaders on that team.
However, for a young team such as the Hawks, it would be beneficial to have an emotional leader to help fire the younger guys up, and to help keep them in line.
But our leader JJ tries to lead by example, and Josh and Al are still young, while Bibby will be gone soon. So the team needs to help lift each other up.
April 12th, 2010
8:00 pm
Will Teague rise to the occasion tonight? A good showing in this game can mean the difference between getting his 7 – 10 min per game in the playoffs . . . or Woody opting not to play him AT ALL.
And we don't need you deciding to play ball when we're already down 12 – 15 points. We need you playing ball in the 2nd Quarter . . or as in the case tonight, late in the 1st Quarter.
MAKE coach play you 20+ minutes tonight, because you are playing well . . . not because the game is a blowout ( in either direction )
Is it too much to ask of him to play like a BALLER in the 1st half of a game?
Is it too much to ask him to produce 5 – 9 FG . . 3 – 4 FT . . 1 – 2 3FG . . for 14 pts and 7 assists in 22 minutes of play?
Is that asking too much?
April 12th, 2010
8:10 pm
Don't misunderstand the leadership issue as it is more of a factor on the road. Boston Celtics has one of the best records in the NBA while the Hawks has one of the worst for the top 4 teams.

TEAMS: San Francisco Giants, Pittsburgh Pirates
Via Minus Twenty-Two:
The Giants on Wednesday sent reliever George Kontos down to Triple-A, the same day he also found out he was suspended three games and fined an undisclosed amount by MLB for hitting Andrew McCutchen with a pitch on Tuesday. It's also his birthday. Happy birthday, George Kontos!
The Giants right-hander turned 28 on Wednesday, and as you can tell it's been a pretty terrible b-day. Hopefully he at least gets some cake by the end of the day.
Kontos was tossed when he plunked McCutchen in the eighth of Tuesday's loss to the Pirates, two batters after he was warned for throwing behind Sterling Marte. Bruce Bochy also got the boot and was suspended for one game, which he's serving on Wednesday.
Kontos, who surrendered three runs before getting the heave, has a 5.76 ERA this season in 31 appearances after a solid season a year ago. He's been replaced by right-hander Sandy Rosaro. The suspension is only applicable to the majors, so Kontos can't begin to serve it until he's called up again. He's always allowed to appeal it.
Surprisingly it's not even the worst birthday Kontos has had since becoming a pro. He tore a ligament in his elbow while pitching four years ago and needed Tommy John surgery.
"So this is the second worst thing that's happened on my birthday," he said.
Let's hope his Christmases are more fun.

NEW YORK – The showdown over whether the Sonics will return to Seattle is now under way.
Seattle Investor Chris Hansen, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, plus Pete and Erik Nordstrom, were making their formal presentation to NBA owners Wednesday morning to acquire the Sacramento Kings franchise and move it to Seattle. The presentation is being done behind closed doors at the St. Regis Hotel in Midtown Manhattan.
It is an unprecedented day in NBA history and for the Hansen group.
NBA Commissioner David Stern called the meeting to add some clarity to the future of the Kings franchise. Hansen's group has purchased 65 percent of the franchise for $341 million. The franchise has already filed for relocation to Seattle and KeyArena this fall.
Hansen's formal presentation will be followed by another from Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson and his potential investors in a new arena and franchise. The city of Sacramento recently approved a term sheet to built a new $441 million arena in Downtown Sacramento.
Hansen's group is expected to include financial data and projections on the long term economic vitality of the Seattle marketplace. Sources say he's also expected to pitch NBA owners on the corporate base in Seattle, a strong selling point to a league which likes corporate partnerships. Hansen is also expected to show a list of 44,000 names of people who have signed up for Sonics season tickets.
Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn and King County Executive Dow Constantine are also at the hotel and will be part of the formal presentation. Both men seemed confident when speaking with reporters outside the hotel prior to the presentation.
Several NBA owners could be seen entering the hotel, including Clay Bennett. He's the owner of the former Sonics and current relocation committee chair. He declined to respond to reporter questions. NBA Commissioner David Stern and NBA Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver also declined to comment.
Toronto Raptors Owner Larry Tanenbaum, who is on the NBA Finance Committee, said he was looking forward to "listening and asking lots of questions" during the course of the day. Other owners, including Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck, Knicks Owner James Dolan and Wizards Owner Ted Leonsis declined comment while entering the hotel.
Stern is expected to address the media Wednesday afternoon.
Sacramento paper: Seattle has too many teams already
In Wednesday morning's edition of the Sacramento Bee, the editorial board says it would be in the NBA's best interest to prevent the team from relocating.
It claims Seattle already has too many sports teams competing for attendance. Also, it claims more than 10,000 Sacramento fans have already pledged to purchase season tickets for next season and that the Kings have had greater attendance than the Sonics have had in the past.
"The speed of this deal, the wealth of the investors and the public commitment should send a clear signal to the league that with the right owners, the Sacramento market can be a lucrative one," the editorial board wrote.
Still legal battles ahead
No matter what happens Wednesday, it is clear the legal wrangling is not over.
A pair of attorneys in Sacramento, representing a group which calls itself "Coalition for Responsible Arena Development," says it intends to file a lawsuit over Sacramento's recent plan. The group alleges the term sheet violates California environmental law, and the terms for a city suite at a new complex would be a "misuse of public funds for private benefit."
Peter Goldman, an attorney for the Seattle chapter of the ILWU, also filed paperwork to speed up an appeal of the union's lawsuit over Hansen's proposed arena. He said he hoped it would mean the appeal could be heard in 2-to-3 months, as opposed to nine. Goldman said he had not had any contact with the NBA over the issue, but he would be watching the mayor's comments in New York closely.
Chris Daniels is reporting about the NBA meeting all week in New York City. You can follow him on Twitter at @chrisdaniels5.

The Dolphins offense has regressed, and theres plenty of data to prove it.
Through five weeks, the team ranks last league-wide in sacks allowed, last in sacks per pass play, 29th in first downs and 28th in both total yards and rushing yards per game.
But instead of using the bye week as a reset button, coach Joe Philbins plan appears to be stay the course.
Philbin said Monday that there would be no changes to his coaching staff during the bye week, and inferred the same about his much-maligned offensive line, which is off to a historically bad start.
We believe in the guys that we have, Philbin said. We have confidence in them. We have got to continue to strive at all positions. I know everyone wants to focus on one position. There are a lot of positions on this football team that need improvement.
We believe in the guys that we have, and we will continue to work with them, he added.
Meaning: Tyson Clabo will likely remain the teams starting right tackle, despite surrendering six sacks so far this season.
But its not like the Dolphins dont have options.
Theres a feeling by some around the league and even within the Dolphins headquarters that Nate Garner is a better option than either Clabo or John Jerry, the right guard who has struggled in both pass protection and run blocking.
Garner started the last four games of the 2012 season after Jake Long got hurt and performed far better than both Clabo and Jerry have thus far.
Garner surrendered two sacks all last year. Clabo gave up two in Sundays 26-23 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
Staying pat
And yet, the Dolphins appear content to stick with the group that has allowed 24 sacks through five games the most in football.Miami is on pace to give up 77 on the season, which would make Ryan Tannehill the most-sacked quarterback in NFL history.
The current record is held by David Carr, who was sacked 76 times during the Texans expansion season. Carr was the No. 1 pick in 2002 but never fulfilled the promise, with the sacks seen as derailing his career.
Could the same happen to Tannehill? Offensive coordinator Mike Sherman said no.
The guy is as resilient a person, a competitor as Ive been around, Sherman said Monday. Ive been around some pretty good ones, and hes up there. Hes very resilient.
Tannehills problems Sunday went beyond getting hit. His receivers did him no favors either.
Of Tannehills 19 incompletions, five were due to drops, according to Pro Football Focus. Dolphins receivers have dropped 17 passes through three games; Mike Wallace is tied for the league lead with six.
Anything involving me is my fault, because I could do better, said Wallace, who is fourth on the team in both catches (22) and receiving yards (281).
I could do better at catching the ball, running routes, anything. I can improve.
And even aspects of the Dolphins offense believed to be a strength red-zone efficiency and third-down conversions took a step back Sunday.
Miami failed to score a touchdown on two of its three trips inside Baltimores 20 and converted on just 3 of 16 third downs.
We should have scored more points in the red zone and we didnt, Sherman said.
Yet with all that said, the Dolphins enter the break at 3-2, would be a playoff team if the season ended today and have one of the easiest remaining schedules in the AFC.
I have faith in the guys that we have in the locker room, Philbin said. I have faith in the staff that we have. We cant sweep things under the rug; we know were not playing perfect football. We have to do better, theres no doubt about it.
If we stick together and work at it, well correct the mistakes and be a better football team after the bye, he added.
Defense hurting
The Dolphins are a mash unit on defense, playing without four starters for a stretch Sunday (Cameron Wake, Dannell Ellerbe, Dimitri Patterson and Nolan Carroll).
But coordinator Kevin Coyle told his group Monday that the bye should help heal most of those wounds.
Well be the healthiest weve been since the opener, Coyle said.

- Wanted it to be greatOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/28/2014Over the last couple of months I have received the tasting emails from Maytson and have continually told myself that I must try it since I have heard so many wonderful things about it. My girlfriend and I went on Sunday night and unfortunately all of the items we ate fell short. The tuna crudo was overwhelmingly spicy and lacked flavor. The octopus was cooked perfectly, this was diminished by the over seasoning, which made it virtually unbearable to finish. Lastly, we had the halibut and steak for dinner and again both were extremely underwhelming. The halibut itself was cooked well, but the components of the dish didn't make sense. The most disappointing dish was the steak, which was severely overcooked. all in all it was a let down.
- never been disappointedDandLDined on 9/26/2014We enjoy taking out-of-town friends to Matyson - the food, service, and ambiance never disappoint. We had a lovely meal with friends newly arrived from China -- a very enjoyable evening, and not a long walk to the orchestra at 8Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Jewel on 19th St.foodiedudieVIPDined on 9/23/2014I love Mattyson. Always a great meal, seasonal, well executed with friendly, knowledgable staff. Can't go wrong here!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DorothyVIPDined on 9/17/2014Our dinner was the best ever. I had poached lobster with angel hair pasta. Incredible! My friend had a fish called Cobie. Also excellent. Service was impeccable.Special Features:
- beautifully prepared yummy foodMimsyDined on 9/16/2014It was hard to choose from the interesting menus (tasting menu and full menu). Our choices were excellently prepared and delicious. The courses were well-paced, not too fast, not too slow. We had a thoroughly enjoyable dinner.Special Features:
- wantsitallVIPDined on 9/14/2014Everything was delicious. Loved it all. Pleased that the restaurant is doing so well.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/13/2014Service was spectacular. Food was stunning. Love it!Special Features:
- Great mealDinerwithpickychildDined on 9/13/2014Food was incredible! And our waitress was exceptional. She really made us feel at home. Hostess was friendly and, again, made us feel welcome. We brought our picky eleven year old, and were not made to feel guilty about that at all! Next time we'll be back, just us.Special Features:
- Ever-changing menuOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/11/2014This week, the tasting menu was crab themed, and it was delicious! My favorite was the crab cake. I'm not a huge fan of soft shell crabs, but I thought the flavor was great. I highly recommend the key lime semifreddo for dessert -- tangy and light, a perfect cap!Special Features:
- Great Food - Lousy service.luv2dineVIPDined on 9/10/2014We've been to Matyson before, and it was wonderful so we made it a special point to go this week because we wanted to do the tasting menu - all crab. The food did not disappoint - it was wonderful - but the service was just awful. Given that it was the tasting menu the waits of almost a half hour between courses were inexcusable. We like to take our time eating and certainly were not expecting fast food but to wait half an hour between courses was just not acceptable. Dinner took nearly 3 hours. The restaurant was not full (Wednesday night) and our table for 2 was in the middle of the room so there was just not excuse for the long waits.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DorothyVIPDined on 9/10/2014Matyson is a gem. My daughter comes from New York just to have dinner at Matyson's. The food is outstanding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Still a fine choiceOlliemomDined on 9/8/2014Matyson offers a sophisticated but not too precious menu of eclectic, fresh and appealing entrees, ditto appetizers. Philly needs more reliably good, tasty and relatively affordable spots for a step up in ambiance, without a ton of hoop-la.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- wonderful eveningsospeciallDined on 9/6/2014Matyson was absolutely perfect for our special occasion . Our waiter was fabulous even the hostess was wonderful. We arrived early and they let us open our bottle of wine and enjoy it at the front window. Our meal was awesome!We even splurged for dessert which was so worth it.We had the coconut cream pie and the fresh out of the oven almond fig tart! When the dessert came out the pastry chef had decorated our plates with a happy anniversary message . It really was a special evening Thank you all at the Matyson!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExperiencedrestauranteeDined on 9/4/2014Delicious and interesting menu. Definitely will go again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It's about the foodAbesbesrfoodDined on 8/30/2014Overlook the noise, dim lighting and deliberate service and enjoy one of Philly's best kitchens. Every item presents new, unexpected pleasures. If you think you like halibut try theirs. Bring your most treasured wine and luxuriate.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not the best byoGoodfoodgoodfriendsDined on 8/26/2014We went on a Tuesday night and only half the restaurant was full yet we felt very ignored. The food was subpar from our expectations as we were told it was a great place. I will not be back and will not recommend a friend to go here.Special Features:
- Noisy and unfriendlyKalolaDined on 8/25/2014Great food, but pricey. Unfriendly staff. Rushed us through the meal. Definitely not a place for quiet conversation or relaxation. Next time my mother (from AZ), sister (from VT) and I (from PA) meet in Philly, we will be going back to our favorite, Alma de Cuba.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/24/2014This was our first time at this BYOB restaurant. We had been given a gift certificate and used it to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. The arugula salad and the poached lobster entree were absolutely delicious! And parking was easy, as there is a garage across the street. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and be back myself!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of the best BYOBsKarlinPhillyVIPDined on 8/23/2014The halibut with roasted grapes was excellent. The goat cheese gnocci was some of the best i have ever tasted.Special Features:
- Innovation at its bestdanieleDined on 8/21/2014We love Matyson. the special menu the chef is concocting every week is always a source of pleasure and allows us to be surprised.. with innovative renditions of dishes highlighting a seasonal ingredient/ the staff is great, sensitive to your needs, full of information on the dishes, welcoming and always helpful. a gem in our neighborhood.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quality and ValueOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/20/2014Matyson is worth at least one trip into town each month from the suburbs. Last visit was on a Wednesday night and the place had plenty of energy. My wife and I went especially for the Greek tasting menu that was being offered - and we were not disappointed. We only wish that the food we experienced when we lived in Greece for 3 years was as good as Matyson's. And a BYOB to boot? This is one restaurant that I never hesitate to recommend to friends, because I know that the overall quality of the experience is consistent. Go there!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- An Evening in Greece, No TravelingNewsyrobVIPDined on 8/20/2014The 5-course chef's tasting menu, centered on Greek food, was excellent. Every plate was outstanding and contrasted well with the one that came before and after. Our server was attentive without hovering, each course was explained simply and thoroughly, and the pace was leisurely. The restaurant graciously substituted fish for a course that contained meat, for a guest who doesn't eat meat; other restaurants allow no substitutions in a chef's menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner onlyOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/18/2014Dined last year for the four course dinner option and loved it. Was excited to come back for lunch but was disappointed. Seems to be a dinner-only spot.
- Always ExcellentKarenrVIPDined on 8/17/2014We had a late Sunday evening reservation. We were promptly seated, as the restaurant was beginning to empty out. I had the Cobia, my husband had the Pork and clams, and our daughters had Halibut - everyone raved about their dinners. We shared an octopus appetizer and that was great as well. As we were the only ones left when we finished our dinner, we were assured by Lauren that we need not rush or feel the need to leave. Lauren was also very helpful explaining the menu and what each dish was specifically. While we have been here many times, we don't usually get the details of the accompaniments - we just order based on the main item. It was useful information. Well done Matyson; can't wait to return!!!Special Features:
- amazingccloveDined on 8/16/2014I've lived in center city >10 years, and this continues to be my favorite restaurant. The food, service and ambiance always exceed my expectations!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic food - poor lightingGoodEatsLoverDined on 8/16/2014The meal was one of the best I've had anywhere, anytime. Service was attentive and accommodating. I would go back in a second. The only issue is that the lighting is kept so low that it's actually difficult to see the food, let alone read the menu. The kitchen plates the food beautifully, but the effort is wasted due to the lights being so dim. More than a few diners were using their cellphones to light the menus. But the food? Wonderful!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- best byob in PhiladelphiaOpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 8/16/2014This is my favorite restaurant in Philadelphia...and it's a byob..you can't beat it! The food is incredible....but honestly, Louis is really what makes our visit special. He is amazing...knows the food inside and out and makes the perfect suggestions...a true foodie like me!Special Features:
- Artful Food after the BarnesappreciativepalateDined on 8/14/2014Tucked a few blocks from Logan Square, Matyson has a short menu of excellent choices from first course to dessert...and an optional tasting menu to boot! It's BYO so you can enjoy just the wine you want without adding big $ to your tab and instead focus on letting them do what they do best - make great food. Like most small places, there are long banquettes so this is not "intimate" dining. But the noise level and energy keep you from feeling as if your conversation is public. And, thanks to the prompt service, everyone has wonderful cuisine to focus on from the start. If you are in the area and can get a reservation, this is not to be missed.Special Features:
- BazkapVIPDined on 8/13/2014The tasting menu satisfied a craving for adventurous dining...all wrapped up in the efficient yet intimately personal staff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- always greatJennifercoleDined on 8/11/2014My boyfriend and I always love going to Madison because of the consistently wonderful yet regularly changing cuisine. No dish ever disappoints. A special shout out to Wes for going out of his way to make to make our meal extra special. The scallops he reccomended were the best I had ever had. Thanks again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DjdtVIPDined on 8/11/2014Matyson is our favorite place to eat in Philly. We have never had a bad meal there. The Kale Salad is great! The people that work there are so nice and helpful. We all had fish entrees, they were wonderful especially the halibut. Save room for dessert, you won't be disappointed! BYOB doesn't hurt either.Special Features:
- LunchBJ1501Dined on 8/4/2014I love going to Matyson for lunch. The food is great and the prices are low for the quality of food. It's also a nice change from the typically bar/restaurants in the area. The people that work there are amazing as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great foodAdinemuDined on 8/2/2014The food was wonderful, but the lighting was extreme dim. I had a hard time seeing what I was eating. Overall a good experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for special occasionsWelbyDined on 8/2/2014The food and ambiance were fantastic. The portions are on the small side, but we didn't leave hungry!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Resting on their laurelsDemandingDinerVIPDined on 7/30/2014Place is still popular - mobbed on a mid-week July evening. However, servers need to pay more attention to when they fire orders. Our main courses were obviously cooked and held in the kitchen long before we had finished our starters. As a result, my strip steak (ordered "on the rare side of medium rare") was barely pink by the time that it arrived. To their credit, they offered to replace it. However, my friend discovered that his fish was totally dried out from the extended hold, though he did not request a replacement. Aside from this, none of our dishes were anything special. There are now just too many other superior options at this price point.
- Saturday at MatysonDeerapDined on 7/26/2014As always, dinner was delicious at Matyson. I love that there are always new options on the menu. The service was fabulous and our table was ready for our 8:00 p.m. reservation. I did notice that it was a little darker, but it is one of my favorites.Special Features:
- Excellent meals and serviceDataRiskMgrVIPDined on 7/26/2014My wife and I loved our entrees and she especially loved the coconut cream pie. "Oh, to go off your diet for!"Special Features:
- Our Center City FaveCowPenaltyVIPDined on 7/23/2014Matyson is an absolute gem, consistently serving delicious and imaginative fare with nary a hint of pretension. The regular menus are solid and the tasting menus are always fun and exciting. The staff are wonderful, friendly, informative and attentive, but never overbearing. Pricing is also extremely reasonable. Definitely our favorite Center City restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TexRDined on 7/23/2014Matyson never disappoints in any category. Kitchen creativity at its fines with waitstaff aware and descriptive of what is being served. Portions are just right and, because one knows what the special meal is that particular week, one knows which wine will compliment it best. Love Matyson and will be going more often.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- UnderratedRobertDined on 7/23/2014Despite being on the last couple best restaurants in Philly lists, I feel that this unassuming restaurant doesn't get the publicity it deserves. The lunch menu is great and very reasonably priced, and they create unique dishes for their dinner menu. A great spot!Special Features:

I really go all the way to Mega Mall to dine at Yabu: The House of Katsu—the first and only authentic katsu restaurant in the country. It's already my fifth time to eat there and I think now's the perfect time to share my "Yabu experience" with all of you!
The Katsu Ritual: Step 1—grind the fresh black and white sesame seeds.
Step 2—then pour the special tonkatsu sauce.
Step 3—Mix the sesame seeds and sauce together and dip the tender katsu!
Appetizers—Hiyayyako Tofu (cold silken tofu cubes in ponzu sauce, sprinkled with bonito flakes) and Superior Potato & Egg Salad (chunks of potato and egg, tossed in creamy mayonnaise-mustard dressing)
Chicken Katsu Curry (Php 320)—Served with authentic katsu, special curry sauce, unlimited Japanese rice, miso soup, Japanese pickles, unlimited cabbage with sesame dressing and a bowl of fruit. The katsu is so crunchy on the outside yet so soft and tender on the inside, you can just slice it with chopsticks!
Seafood Katsu Set 2 (Php 515)—Salmon black tiger prawn, crab and oyster. Served with miso soup, a bowl of fruits and unlimited cabbage with sesame dressing. Oh and they serve unlimited rice too!
Head on over to Yabu: The House of Katsu at 2/F Mega Atrium, SM Megamall! For promos and updates, follow @YabuPH on Twitter and Instagram! Happy dining!79 notes blog comments powered by Disqus

I'm just going to completely ignore the thousands of angry Internet people going "Saturday Night Live stopped being funny ten years ago!" (it didn't) and just jump straight to the meat of the story: after six years on the show, it looks like funny lady Kristen Wiig might be leaving the show in…
Good her talent would be much better used in a movies, and maybe even her own TV Show, hopefully as good as Tina Fey's magnificent 30 Rock.
It was the most beautiful fucking thing I've ever seen, hot shit tits and bastards, I'm going crazy just thinking about how great that fucking movie was. Ugh so many thoughts, too many fucking thoughts to put into words, oh its hurts. To put it short, GO SEE FUCKING DRIVE, to prepare you though I'd consider the movie a dark, violent, love story, that's truly what its about, god it was so good.
I'm obviously coming off a movie high, but it might be my favorite fucking movie ever, goddamnit!, it's for fucking sure in my top 5 though, for fucking sure motherfuckers! SO MANY FUCKS.
Arrest my Development.
30 my Rock.
Park my Recreation.
Saturday Night my Live.
Party my Down.

In this week's WERC seminar, Priyamvada Sharma will discuss the rate of biodegradation in cold climate conditions under varying parameters. Join us this Friday, February 1, 2013!
Friday Seminar Series
- What: Biodegradation of Crude oil in Cold Climate Terrestrial Environments
- Who: Priyamvada Sharma
- When: 3:30-4:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 1
- Where: 531 Duckering
This presentation will describe the importance of crude oil degradation by micro-organisms in cold climates. By some accounts, biodegradation is the most cost effective and environmentally friendly method for cleaning up an oil spill. This discussion will focus on my ideas of using biostimulation as an approach to solving problems related to potential oil spills on the arctic seashore. It will focus on creating microcosm studies with varying temperatures (Alaskan seasons), crude oil concentration, soil type and fertilizer treatments. These tests are intended to help characterize the rate of crude oil biodegradation in cold climatic conditions.

A child is among the dead after a triple shooting in southwest Houston on Monday.
Neighbors reported hearing a gunshot around 3:30pm but apparently nobody called it in.
And later in the evening a teenager returned home to discover the bloodshed.
His father was barely alive, the father's girlfriend was dead and so was the teen's 10-year old brother.
To detectives, it appears the killer was someone known to the family.
"No signs of forced entry and no telltale signs of a violent encounter at the front door," said HPD Homicide Lt. John Zitzmann. "It just looks like the gunman escorted them upstairs and that's where all the violent activity took place."
The father was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.
And police are seeking more information about two men who were seen leaving the area in a four-door silver sedan.

Coral Springs, FL - Broward Health Coral Springs Medical Center (CSMC) recently held its 5th Annual Race for Women's Wellness where over 250 participants raised more than $15,000 for the Lisa Boccard Breast Cancer Fund. The fund provides free mammograms, breast imaging and biopsies to women who otherwise would not be able to afford to get them.
Participants ranged from cancer patients and survivors themselves to those who carried the cause near to their hearts. One special participant was Lisa Boccard whose fund was created in her honor by her brother Vince Boccard (Coral Springs Commissioner) and his wife Terry. As Lisa continues her fight against breast cancer, she feels honored that others are benefiting. "The participants in this event gave Coral Springs Medical Center an opportunity to do something extraordinary for women in need," said Lisa.
With a mission to raise awareness and money to fight against breast cancer, the race itself was created five years ago by two doctors from CSMC—Dr. Mark Shachner, Medical Director of the Women's Diagnostic & Wellness Center, and Dr. David Silver, a gastroenterologist. The Boccard's later joined CSMC to continue its mission in providing women in financial need in northwest Broward County the ability to receive proper breast medical care including early detection screenings.
Coral Springs Medical Center is a facility of Broward Health. Broward Health, providing service for more than 50 years, is a nationally recognized system offering world class health care services to our neighbors in South Florida. One of the 10 largest public health systems in the nation, Broward Health includes Broward General Medical Center, North Broward Medical Center, Imperial Point Medical Center, Coral Springs Medical Center, Chris Evert Children's Hospital, Broward Health Weston and more than 30 facilities of the Community Health Services and Broward Health Physician Group.

Sell Antiques on eBay. Sell Collectibles on eBay.
By: Skip McGrath
I got my start on eBay in 1999 selling small antiques and collectibles left over from an antique shop we had closed a few years before that when we decided to move out west.
My very first sale was a pair of 19th Century Brass Beehive Candlesticks. They sold for $135.00 –that was much higher than I used to sell them for in my shop. I was hooked –and haven't looked back since.
Open your Antique Store in a City of 20-million people
When we had our antique shop in upstate New York, we were in a small town of 5000 and the surrounding county held about 200,000 people. But when you sell on eBay it is like opening an antique shop in a city of 20 million people –because that is how many people look for antiques and collectibles on eBay every month. This means you can get top dollar for what you are selling.
Why Sell Antiques and Collectibles?
There are three answers to that question: Fun, Less Competition and Profits!
1. The Fun Factor –If you are interested in antiques and
collectibles then this business is a lot of fun –and when you can do what you
love then it's not work.
2. Less Competition – One of the biggest problems selling
new merchandise on eBay today is competition. Everyone has the same merchandise
and get it from the same sources. So everyone competes on price and that drives
down profit margins.
The neat thing about selling a valuable antique or collectible is that the buyers compete to win it. It doesn't happen with every product, but it happens often enough that you get maximum prices when it does.
3. Profits. If you buy a new piece of merchandise for $10 and the going price on eBay is $17.95, then after eBay & PayPal fees you make about $6.00. That is a 30% profit margin. But on many antiques and collectibles, I can easily double or even triple the price and profit margins or 50% - 60% -70% and more are the norm –not the exception.
Sell Antiques and Collectibles on eBay - Examples
Here is an example: I bought a set of silver and cobalt blue salt and peppershakers at an estate sale for $5.00 and sold them on eBay for $44.
That is a markup of almost 900% --or stated another way, a profit margin of almost 90%.
Now you don't find those deals every day, but you do find them often enough if you follow the methods we show you to source antiques and collectibles. I can easily find items at garage sales, small country auctions, estate sales and thrift shops that you can buy for $1, $3 or $5 and sell for $5, $10, $20 or more.
And you are not limited to low cost items. There are thousands of dollars worth of expensive antiques and collectibles that sell on eBay (and several other antique sites I will show you) every day.
Here is a half-hull model of a clipper ship that I bought from another antique's dealer for $90. I sold it on a fixed price antique's website for just over $200. I must have underpriced it because it was purchased by another antique's dealer who marked it up again.
I used to buy old magazines at small country auctions and pull the prints out and frame them. I could buy a box of old magazines for under $100 and realize 20 to 30 prints like the one below that would sell for between $50 and $200 each.

New Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulations effective in January 2010 require that if I state any amount of money I have made, or someone using these methods has made, then I have to state the "average" amount of money that everyone who bought this book made. Well, as you can imagine, I would have no way of knowing that!
So to comply with the law, let me say that although myself and other people have made differing amounts of money with these methods: "The 'average' person who bought this book made less than one-cent ($0.01)."
