used by vet hospital cheaper here pets ears spotlessly clean
This product was sold to me by veterinarian at twice the price! It is an excellent product for cleaning my poodle's ears. She doesn't mind it at all. It doesn't seem to burn or sting, but it melts the ear wax away. I try to use it weekly to keep things under control, but if I get behind and her ears really start to get bad, I use it twice a day for about five days and her ears really clear up. One bottle lasts me at least three months for two standard poodles. Try it! You will like it!
I rescued an elder Airedale with very significant issues with Pseudomonas ear infections and Trizedta was very helpful in relieving this condition.
This product is very mild and doesn't irritate our cats ears. They like it better than the Epi-Otic brand so we switched. Use it on our dog too.
Love this product! Keeps ears fresh and clean, easy to use, no harsh or toxic chemicals, does not irritate, it just freshens, deodorizes, cleans & keeps ears in great condition.
Simple to use. Solution pours easily out of bottle into pets ears. After a little rub, the dog shakes out the remnants. Cheaper than buying from the vet.
Excellent for cocker ears, I use everyday on my dogs.
My Cocker spaniel suffered w/severe ear infections. This is wonderful for maintaining healthy ears.
Our Tracy Girl loves to swim in the pool and I treat her ears after she is done and I do not have had any problems with her ears! Love it!
I have bloodhounds. One of my boys has very very sensitive ears. This is the only product that does not have him running around shaking his head with red and inflamed pinas. I use the TrizEDTA with Keto to control yeast infections. For "out of control" yeast infections of the ears, apron, and skin, use the Keto-C shampoo. Great stuff for hounds.
I've been using this product for the last three years and it's great for a cleaner. However, if the dog has any infections of the ear and you start to see a black substance forming it is usually an indication of a yeast infection and you'll need a visit to the vet for some drops. Otherwise, for weekly cleaning this is a great product.
Our vet recommended an ear wash for two of our three dogs. They were getting ear infections and DermaPet Trizedta really gets the "gunk" out!

Developers, in case you didn't know, have a secret language all of their own when communicating with their players. In today's Developer Perspectives, we take a look at what is said and what it just might really mean. Check it out!
Some really, really do not like to talk about bad things. These companies believe that Twitter and Facebook should be an unremittingly positive stream of happy juice. They believe that one single admission of guilt or acknowledgment of a problem will send potential investors and partners into a tailspin of fear. If you never admit to a problem, the people with money will never know there was a problem. (As if the forum of a post-launch MMO wasn't a place where kittens are regularly killed by infant deities.)

"Cherry Limeade is all well and good, but I doubt they'll have a pitcher of Old Style for a buck fifty on Thursdays."

They advertise here, but the nearest one is unthinkably far away.
- traditionalguy said...
Carbohydrates heaven has come to Madison. Feeding the adults' and kids' sugar fix in style.( Please don't let Mayor Bloomberg see the menue. It would scare him.) Happy days for Wisconsin, with cheese on it, has arrived. I eagerly await the Sonic Cafe mood shots with 12 year old scotch in a paper cup.
- Mark in Spokane said...
Sonic came to Spokane a few years ago, and at first it was impossible to get in to try the food. The place was swamped, much to the consternation of the nearby Taco Time and Zips (a local hamburger chain). Soon the novelty wore off, though, and people stopped flocking.
Personally, I would much rather eat at Zips than at Sonic. My wife and I went and ate at Sonic and I have to say, it was nothing special. Ok, but nothing special. Now, Zips on the other hand...hmm...fish sandwiches... - 2/8/09, 8:58 PM
- SteveR said...
Yeah its nothing special but its got great drink options and decent fast food. If you want Old Style, gets some food in the drive through and go home for the beer. Its not either/or.
- Eli Blake said...
Should I tell this true story?
It was 1992. I was a newlywed, and my wife and I had just rented an apartment in Los Lunas, New Mexico. We'd picked it out some months earlier and reserved it but neither of us moved there until after we were married.
I was out late one night with some missionaires from my church visiting some investigators. So I decided to stop at the Sonic that was a few blocks from our apartment and buy my wife a Route 44 Ocean Water.
It is always well-lit under there, so while I was waiting I turned off the headlights.
When I pulled out onto the road, there were plenty of streetlights and my mind being filled with visions of more newlywed bliss, I neglected to switch the lights back on. I drove fairly slowly down the right lane, as I didn't want to miss the turn off to the apartments.
A couple of blocks down, there had been a minor incident and there were two police cars there. One of the officers, noticing my lights were off, waved at me to pull over. I thought he was waving me into the left lane (away from the cop cars), so I swerved into the left lane.
There was a car there, which I almost hit, so I quickly swerved back to the right. The cop did a quick jump out of the way.
All the swerving caused the Ocean Water I had bought my wife, which was between my legs (the car not having a drink holder large enough for a Route 44 Ocean Water) to spill.
And man, it was COLD!! Youch! That caused me to swerve some more. The police officers apparently agreed to split their duties, and one remained behind to finish up at the fender-bender scene and the other started following me. Probably not more than fifteen miles an hour.
I turned into the apartment block, unaware that the police car was following me, but realizing that the Ocean Water was only about a third full I decided to return back to Sonic for another one. So I made a sharp ninety degree turn back out of the parking lot. I thought I'd circle back down a side street, but just having moved there I didn't know the side streets very well and ended up at the end of a dead end road.
That was when I noticed the flashing lights behind me.
The officer walked up to me and asked where I'd been that night.
I told him, "With some missionaries! We were reading the Bible!"
"Uh-huh," replied the officer. "Have you been drinking anything?"
"No," I said. I knew he meant alcoholic, and I told him I hadn't had an alcoholic beverage in several years.
He didn't believe that so he asked me to get out of the car.
I did, and I was dripping wet from the waste down. He started fingering the handcuffs he was wearing on his belt.
I had to practically beg him to give me a field sobriety test. I passed of course, but I'm not sure he believed the results.
That's a true story, courtesy of all the bright lights at Sonic. - 2/8/09, 9:12 PM
- MadisonMan said...
I'd rather go to Culvers.
- Triangle Man said...
Sonic replaces Rusty's, a Michael Feldman (whadda-ya-know-not-much-you) hang out. Limeade you say? Might be worth a try.
- SteveR said...
Eli: I can say from personal experience, that's a long way from the worst thing that can happen to you in Las Lunas. At least it was a large coffee.
- Douglas said...
If we have to suffer through your Culver Curds in Texas, you can suffer through Sonic's Limeade. It's pretty good, and not nearly as constipating.
- traditionalguy said...
They have expresso shots and other starbucks type lattes. Will starbucks be able to add burgers and fries fast enough to keep up? And I hear that sweaters are not sonic dress code approved. This may be eased by using the eat in your car method. But dry cleaning costs go up significantly for the suit & tie crowd and also the pastel colored sweater crowd. Oh yeah, it isn't known how they will react to a Professor type with a camera clicking away without asking permission over the speaker.
- save_the_rustbelt said...
Reminds me of my Chevy, car hops, plaid skirts, AM rock-and-roll and, well ya know.
Food is better at Culvers. Nostalgia better at Sonics. Plus my grandkids like it. - 2/8/09, 9:32 PM

First The Unicorn Tavern, now Rusty's Tavern. Tell me, is the Club Tavern still there at least?
Blue collar aristocrats are a dying breed. - 2/8/09, 9:33 PM
- mcg said...
Sonic is an occasional guilty pleasure for me. Specifically their limeades, fruit slushes, and tater tots with cheese.
- AJ Lynch said...
Funny story Eli!
- Kev said...
Cherry Limeade is all well and good, but I doubt they'll have a pitcher of Old Style for a buck fifty on Thursdays.
Tater tots and beer? Breakfast of champions!
(But seriously, even if Sonic did try to serve beer--which would almost have to be at the sit-down area only, and from the picture, it appears it'll be months before that section gets any business--most of the carhops I've seen wouldn't be old enough to serve.)
Eli--hilarious story! - 2/8/09, 10:02 PM
- Donna B. said...
Our local Sonic doesn't mind photos at all. I took one of the carhop delivering a cheeseburger, tater tots, and cherry limeade to email to my sister.
More photos of the unwrapped goodies were taken after I got home, including a big bite missing from the burger.
She loves Sonic and there aren't any in Scotland. She'll be in March and my Dad's already located the Sonic nearest the Little Rock airport. - 2/8/09, 10:18 PM
- Christy said...
Great story, Eli.
Sonic serves breakfast all day long, which is nice. I don't like their burgers but the chicken items are good. Lots of ice cream drinks and desserts to appeal to the kids. - 2/8/09, 10:23 PM
- Gretchen said...
Cherry Limeades are the best thing at Sonic. I spent the better part of the summer of 1994 juicing limes at Sonic as part of my carhop duties. The stint on roller skates only lasted 15 minutes. 15 minutes and about 10 dropped drinks. Oops.
- Linus said...
Personally, I would much rather eat at Zips than at Sonic.
I went to law school in Moscow, so I know whereof you speak, and I give a hearty AMEN to that. In fact, I miss Zips. Their fish and chips, you just can't get anything that good where I'm at now. - 2/8/09, 11:36 PM
- sg said...
Old Style?
Isn't that the beer that Wisconsin exports to Illinois for Cub fans to drink? - 2/8/09, 11:40 PM
- Ron said...
Althouse, do you remember the limeade at Drake's?
- Ann Althouse said...
Ron: Yes yes yes!
And I remember grilled cinnamon rolls with ice cream.
And beautiful green and black booths.
I fell in love with my future husband there (and a few other Ann Arbor places).
Do you remember Krazy Jims? I worked there one summer. - 2/9/09, 6:29 AM
- Shanna said...
I like to get the cherry sprites. The coolest thing at Sonic is the "happy hour". Half priced drinks from 2-4!
- Psychedelic George said...
TOUBAB KREWE comes to Madison March 6.
It'll be majestic. - 2/9/09, 6:57 AM
- Gretchen said...
Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burgers!
Yeah, we miss Ann Arbor sometimes. We liked Frank's, a diner behind Nickels Arcade. - 2/9/09, 9:32 AM
- Ron said...
Yes, I still go to Krazy Jim's sometimes...it's like high-grade sliders.
I was the last customer at Drake's, buying candy from the owners daughter on Christmas Eve as she closed the doors...I got some of the signage from Drakes when she auctioned it off. I missed getting the 1000 jazz '78's from the '20's and 30's though...
The original owner always paid his bills only in cash, no checks. Employees were paid out of the till each night, and he ran around town paying his bills that way. - 2/9/09, 10:06 AM
- Ron said...
Krazy Jim's is now famous for his "snow bears." In the winter, someone (I don't know who) makes a bear family out of the snow in front of and on top of the restaurant. They're usually pretty clever/funny and they change them a lot...
When the snow returns, I'll get a pic. - 2/9/09, 10:12 AM
- Ron said...
Gretchen you really liked Frank's?
- Gretchen said...
Yeah, in a dive-diner sort of way. They had good cabbage rolls. It was close to where I worked (Michigan Book and Supply), and close to the LSA building where my husband was, so we could meet there for lunch sometimes. We often went with his advisor, who was a big fan.
I much preferred Cottage Inn, for their $4.95 baked macaroni special on Fridays. Yum! - 2/9/09, 12:50 PM
- former law student said...
A pitcher for $1.50?
I can't even get a PBR tallboy for less than $2. - 2/9/09, 11:10 PM

I dreaded the first day of school because I new they'd be wearing uniforms this year and I wouldn't get to make Zoe her annual "First day" outfit. I purchased the 3 Way Spophie pattern by Mod Kid Boutique and I knew that I could whip up some really cute "uniform Pants for Zoe. I actually love seeing all the kids in their uniforms looking spiffy and ready to learn. This made my first day of school w/uniforms so much better!!

Birthday Gifting
A bow pen, ribbon note pad, and a tote bag. I used some Mod Podge to glue a piece of fabric to the outside of the notebook. Then I tied cute ribbons onto the spiral binding. This is the cheap $.10 notebook that Wal-mart sells during the school season. It has 3 holes on also, so I glued a piece of white paper to the book before the piece of fabric. Lastly I glued a chipboard letter on the front.

Happy Mother's Day!
And just in case you missed it the first time, my poem about being a mom. It is written in "spoken word format":
Mother I Am:
Here I stand in a place where diapers and wipes are an everyday reality. My coach bag that was once filled with high hopes and unending dreams is now stuffed with a four year olds screams and a sippy cup filled to the brim with "mommy can I" and "she won't leave me alone".
Yet I drudge on. Trying to find that one sock that was stuffed with cheerios and dirty diapers that just didn't make it in time into the trash can. And if I'd gotten that extra hour of sleep that my four year old promised he'd give me....like the unidentifiable rash that lurks in my ash tray, like old cigarettes butts accidentally knocked to the floor by a 2 year old rage and wrath.....inside the bath tub that carries the ring that I so desperately needed from the man that carries the other half of my heart.
Traveling through the kingdom of unwashed clothes and wiping dirty noses, I come to the realization that one day this will no longer be. I will look back and smile the smile of the cheshire cat and poke my chest out really far while gazing into the distance of long gone trips to the potty when he just wanted to sit and multiple details for my car when she just couldn't help but to get sick. When Power Rangers held the key to momentary happiness and bliss all sealed together with one single kiss.....Mother I am.
This is a poem that I wrote sometime after becoming a mom. I was 20 something and had just had a baby boy, my last child. I was on a small dose of an antidepressant and trying to find my way through postpardum depression from my second pregnancy. I'm glad that I chose to pick up a pencil. The original poem had no periods, commas, or quotaton. Just pieced together like floetry
**This and all of my work is protected under the Digital Millinnium Act of 2008**

My hubby did all the tying. Isn't this a neat way to package the gifts for the boys? I'm going to try to make an origami shirt out of tissue paper and tie the tie over it. Oh, its just a piece of 1 1/2" grossgrain ribbon.

The Italian Coast Guard rescued 93 people off Sicily and the US Navy pulled more than 100 men from a raft in rough conditions, off the coast of Malta.
It comes as Italy has increased the size and scale of monitoring missions.

Southeast Regional Seed System
Regional engagement since 2011. In 2012, OSA conducted a Southeast seed needs assessment that represented more than 2,000 agricultural community members. Following the publication of these results, OSA convened a Southern Seed Working Group made up of farmers, university research, extension, seed companies, and other stakeholders to move recommendations forward. The working group has identified organic research and education initiatives for building a robust seed system that responds to the needs of organic agriculture in the Southeast. To learn more about our work in this region, and to become a major investor in this project, please contact Micaela Colley.

"OSA is the place I always turn to when I need to know more about an issue or learn more about how best to produce and save a particular kind of seed. With OSA and others leading the charge, I know the integrity and future of organic seeds is assured."

Melting Plot: Haggis's Hyperbolic Civics Lesson a Minor Wreck
A daisy-chain civics lesson about race that makes Spike Lee seem pianissimo, Million Dollar Baby scripter Paul Haggis's directorial debut, Crash, is ostensibly set in today's L.A., a snake pit of compulsive racism the film is determined to flush out. But it's a dated, what-about"Ebony and Ivory" pessimist's fantasy, in which virtually every plot point and line of dialogue is evidence of outlandish bigotry. (Whites, blacks, Asians, Chicanos, and Persians routinely spitting public slurs at each other? Not in post-millennium L.A., they don't.) Hyperbolizing up a storm, Haggis entwines nearly a dozen major threads: Matt Dillon's racist LAPD cop, Sandra Bullock's spoiled, immigrant-employing housewife, Don Cheadle's thoughtful homicide detective (with partner-girlfriend Jennifer Esposito), Terrence Howard's successful but shamed TV director, Ludacris's politicized car thief, Shaun Toub's handgun-buying Persian shopkeeper, etc. The characters pass each other in the night, only to (predictably) circle back later; the soundtrack's portentous liturgies and the multiple montages full of brooding warn us over and over again that every affront and prejudicial slight will come home to roost tenfold.
Generalized racial profiling is a constant source of conflict, and it's to Haggis's credit that the dynamic is ethically ambivalent; his people's presuppositions are as often right as they are wrong. Contrivances abound, but so do gray fields of moral relativism. Not surprisingly, Haggis's film works best in poetical asides, as when Michael Peña's stereotype-beset locksmith crawls under his hiding daughter's bed to talk to her about distant gunshots, or when an act of vigilante rage climaxes with an apparent miracle. The film's bruising peak is when Dillon's bullethead struggles to rescue Thandie Newton's rich SUV driverwhom he had sexually harassed on the roadside the night beforefrom a car wreck, a sequence that rises out of the movie's pretensions like an aria. Full of well-observed supporting riffs, Crash might've accumulated more frisson had it cast a clearer eye on how social tension actually plays.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Mortgage banking, among the few sources of growth for banks amid low interest rates, is likely to remain a tailwind to earnings in 2013, FBR Capital analyst Paul Miller said in a report. Strong origination volumes on the back of a refinancing boom and high margins on sale of newly originated mortgages in the secondary market has boosted profitability for banks with a strong mortgage banking presence, including Wells Fargo ( WFC), US Bancorp ( USB) and JPMorgan Chase ( JPM). But some analysts have raised concerns about the sustainability of the refinancing boom and "gain-on-sale" margins. As TheStreet reported last week, the spread between the primary mortgage rate and the rate on mortgage backed securities is beginning to narrow as Treasury yields rise. Last year was also an unusually strong one for refinancing as the government's expanded Home Affordable Refinance Program, dubbed Harp 2.0, proved to be more successful. Analysts including Ken Usdin at Jefferies and Richard Staite at Atlantic Equities expect the refinance boom to slow down. Read more about their concerns in Banks to Suffer Big Decline in Mortgage Revenue. Still, Miller at FBR believes mortgage banking will continue to be highly profitable for banks for three reasons. One, while gain-on-sale margins is contracting, it remains near record highs. The spreads will remain high due to "robust purchase volumes, the pipeline of possible refinancings, and limited market capacity." Secondly, while analysts point to the re-entry of Bank of America ( BAC) into the mortgage origination business and smaller originators expanding their origination platforms as signs of increasing competition in the market, Miller notes that Wells Fargo, the largest originator, is slowly decreasing its market share. "Accounting for market share gains almost across the board for smaller players, we estimate that the incremental capacity coming into the market will only make up for what Wells Fargo (and other large originators) is shedding. With this in mind, it is clear to us that capacity will likely remain somewhat constrained, especially as volumes remain elevated," Miller wrote. Finally, Miller says the refinancing boom is far from over. "Given where mortgage rates are today relative to the average rate on outstanding mortgages, over $2 trillion of loans have a strong economic incentive to refinance," he said. While the Mortgage Bankers Refinance Index has declined in the last few weeks, Miller estimates there is likely $1 trillion of refinances in an estimated $1.7 trillion to $2 trillion market overall this year. Even if refinancing volumes were to decline, if rates stay where they are, there is likely to be an increase in fresh purchase volumes, the analyst argues. Miller believes smaller players including Nationstar ( NSM), PHH Corporation ( PHH) and Flagstar ( FBC) who are gaining market share will benefit the most. -- Written by Shanthi Bharatwaj in New York >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Shanthi Bharatwaj. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/shavenk. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

Knowing? Or Knowing About?
13 comments:
I also feel as if I "know" certain ancestors simply because I've heard stories, I've looked at pictures, and I've located records - SOME records. I'm often sent onto Mr. Toad's Wild Ride imagining those other details I couldn't possibly know such as how they laughed, how they walked, whether they were irritable before their morning coffee. I have to stop myself.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bunch of old photos..so sweet that she never remarried. Do you know the history of the picture/painting in the photograph? :)
ReplyDeleteRepliesFunny thing about that picture...I've seen it for years, mostly at my sister-in-law's place, if I remember correctly, and then when her mom moved in with her, I somehow never realized it was Marilyn's rather than Judy's. In my mind, it was one of those typical '70s kinds of prints. I guess I just had it placed in the wrong time frame. It was weird seeing it for the first time in the context of that wedding photo!
I really enjoy a box of new photos especially those I've never seen before. The challenge and thrill of identifying who is in the photos is half the fun!

I think I'd be classified as a digital hoarder... I have a server PC next to my main gaming PC with 4 X 3tb drives in raid 5 for mass storage of things like camera raws and exported jpegs, music, movies, TV series, etc, and even then my gaming PC has 2 X 3tb drives in a windows storage pool for local storage of games and other stuff. Being in Australia and one of the lucky few to have fast cable internet I could theoretically stream all those movies and TV series yes... But the convenience of my whole family being able to share my catalogue of content over our home network just can't be beat. And yes, I could delete games I don't play and keep a lean catalogue of games on my 2 X 120gb SSD raid 0 array that I use for my OS, but it's a nice feeling to have all those games ready to play. Not sure what cloud based solution I'd use to replace the need for a dump drive for my camera raws though.
Don't forget the gigabit internet you need to realistically upload and work on all those raws.

Over-hated: Kristen Stewart
I'd never defend the "Twilight" movie series; only "Eclipse" was better than awful. But Stewart unjustly receives a lot of the blame for the films, largely because Bella's such a dopey character. In fact, the actress has developed impressively over the years (she's excellent in "Adventureland" and good in "The Runaways") while also improving her skills during interviews. Here's proof. -- Matt Pais

Interface types explained (VST, RTAS, AU, etc.)
The multiple interface types are a result of ongoing efforts in the industry to create standards that utilise the capabilities of either Digital Audio Workstations (or DAWs – the host platformst for plugins) or hardware.
By interface we mean a way for a plugin to communicate with its host. Metaphorically you can look at it as a plug and a socket – both have to fit together. Just like a 1/4" jack and the respective socket (used in mixers, instrument ins/outs, etc).
The most common interface types that you'll find on PluginBoutique are:
- Native PC (or Native Windows) - This means all interface types supported by Windows-based music platforms. This includes VST (and VSTi, which is simply a VST instrument) RTAS and DX.
- Native Mac - This covers all interface types supported by OSX-based music platforms - VST, AudioUnits and RTAS.
By "Native" we mean an interface technology whereby all DSP Processing is done by the host computer's CPU, as opposed to outboard gear.
The individual interface technologies used are:
- VST (Virtual Studio Technology) – Introduced by Steinberg in 1996 in Cubase ver. 3.02. It is the most known interface type for effects and instruments. As of today VST has evolved into its 3rd version and is commonly referred to as VST3. You may also come across VSTi which simply stands for VST Instrument – it does not have any different the technical requirements, however. VST is the most widely implemented standard in the industry and is supported by (this list is not exhaustive): Ableton Live, Acid PRO, Cubase, Nuendo, FL Studio, Samplitude or Sonar. More on VST on Wikipedia.
- AU (AudioUnits) – Apple's proprietary audio technology, part of the Core Audio provided by Mac X OS. It is part of the operating system so it provides low latency and system-level support for the interface. Most DAWs developed for the Macs support the AudioUnits interface due to its stability and system-level solutions (which also means faster processing). Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, Garage Band, Presonus Studio One and many others. More on AudioUnits on Wikipedia
- RTAS (Real-Time Audio Suite) – implemtned in ProTools series by Digidesign. Many plugin manufacturers develop RTAS versions of their plugins for the sake of compatibility with the ProTools series of DAWs. RTAS plugins can only be used in the ProTools system. More on RTAS on Wikipedia
- TDM (Time-division Multiplexing) – a version of ProTools plugins which are installed on outboard hardware such as dedicated DSP Processors for ultra-high precision and quality. TDM Plugins are usually installed in high-quality studio setups equipped with dedicated chips that process the audio signal – as opposed to having all processing done natively by the computer's CPU.
Additionally in our offer you will find interface types that may not sound like real interfaces. This is what they stand for:
- Standalone – These are applications that can be used without a host OR are host applications themselves. This category covers all DAWS as well as software that can run on its own, without the host.
- Any – These are products that are not assigned to any particular interface type. A typical example of this are Preset Banks that work with a particular application – whether it's a synth, sampler, groovebox or effects unit. The "ANY" interface simply matches the interface of the application it is made for. If a Synth works under VST, RTAS and AU interfaces then the presets will also work in the same environment.

Mathematica Symbolic Toolbox
Hi Everyone, I have been looking at the Mathematica Symbolic Toolbox, and found the following link: http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/MathSource/624/ For windows it says: More detailed instructions will follow when MathLink for Windows ships. MathLink is shipped as a Windows DLL, so you can use Microsoft, Borland, or Symantec compilers. Each is different in its usage. Can anyone please tell me how I can go about using the toolbox? Thanks very much Namrata

Our family had a lovely first-time ski vacation. Mainly this was due to the fact that our children learned to ski and Keystone has great geography and terrain. Next time, however, we will probably look for a different location for our ski trip.
The statement that I read elsewhere on Fodors: "Breckenridge is a town; Keystone is a resort" is probably a true comparison, though I'm no expert on ski locale. Regarding Keystone, it is about 4 miles long and easy to navigate the stretch of basically 2-3 village areas where the hubs of activity are gathered. There is certainly something to do for everyone: skiing day or night, snowboarding (lots of snowboarders here), all winter sports activities, a 5-acre skating rink (hockey too), and little villages full of bustling and quaint activities, even Lego for the kids.
The food is so-so, even at the high end places. Though we made reservations via Open Table before coming, we didn't need them, as the walk-in restaurants were just as good as far as cuisine and service, and far more convenient. The fondue restaurant was closed the night we'd reserved it because of cold weather. Even grab-and-go food is extremely expensive, as at most ski resorts, but a $6 fountain drink was seemed downright unreasonable. The best place we ate was a Mexican restaurant that seemed to cater to the locals, located across the street from the village and near the convention center.
Keystone is easy to navigate with gondola service, extremely easy to navigate slopes and shuttles to take you between them. The same company runs everything so no matter where you are, someone is glad to help you, whether you need to change out a ski boot (at a different rental shop) or call a shuttle to pick you up (from exactly where you are). Parking is easy (some lots are paid lots) or you can take a shuttle if you prefer that route. Though we found everything we needed right in Keystone proper, we heard that you can purchase tickets that are valid in nearby Breckenridge and Keystone, or Keystone and Copper. There is certainly enough to do right here for several days at least.
Though the Decatur building, the condominium where we stayed in Keystone Village, was extremely dated, it was generously, amazingly roomy. Laundry service was not in the unit but was in the building (coin op). There are ski lockers downstairs for each unit. The rooms were clean but we were disappointed to find that housekeeping did not come daily unless you paid a steep add-on fee. The staff was friendly and told us to call for anything, but when we called because our room key stopped working and were locked out of the building in 1 degree weather, they did not come for 30 minutes. We called again and were told they were too busy, so we finally took the shuttle to the check-in building to get a new key. Also the Decatur building did not have enough hot water. We came in one evening about 6:30 and wanted to take showers before bed but there was NO hot water in our unit. There was no hot water all night until the next morning.
Regarding the ski activity, we found it to be quite congested. Our children took private lessons the first two half days, and we took the lessons with them because we wanted to all stay together. There was no shortage of instructors or help/service at the mountain, and both of the instructors we used were extremely helpful. This was time well spent, of course, for the kids, but more than that, the parents got to visualize what a waste it would have been to put them in the oft-recommended "ski school." The ski school had classes of youngsters who were so crowded together in herds that they were lined up in a full circle around the magic carpet, waiting most of the day instead of skiing. The bunny slopes were so congested it was dangerous. The private lesson afforded us the opportunity to move out of these crowds on slightly different areas. The third day we went atop River Run and saw the snow castle (slides and ice castle for the kids, very cool) and do some larger learning runs with the kids. Hubby got to do some larger runs that day as well. Our last day we put the youngest kids back in a private lesson while the oldest and parents went "real" skiing. By the half day mark all children could go on the big slopes, but the youngest just didn't want to. The big kids (ages 8 and 7) went with dad and I stayed with the 5 year old on the discovery slopes. This was fine except, again, for the congestion. My husband said even the big slopes were terribly packed and it was hard to ski around people. Over on the bunny slope my youngest daughter got completely wiped out by a 9 year old boy who then walked off with HER ski without even glancing back (they collided so hard all skis were off). Keystone is clearly a place where people come to learn, as there are few people who really know what they are doing and most are just figuring things out. This has its advantages because people are generally tolerant of learners but it can also be dangerous when there are too many newbies in one place at a time.
Though we had a nice vacation in Keystone, it was not the resort or the property itself that made the vacation memorable. It wasn't terrible, but we will probably try something else and look for different accommodations next time.

Keystone Village Family Ski Trip Report: So-So location
Report Abuse
Were you just there over the holiday? Weekend too. High High season, and I understand that the lack of snow has also limited some trails from being fully open.
And there is NOTHING about skiing that is inexpensive, especially food!! We pack lunches a lot. -
Report Abuse
No hot water would've been enough for me to go somewhere else next time
Thanks for the thorough report. -
Report Abuse
Gretchen, yes, we were definitely there when it was busiest! But when we have vacation time we have to take it!
We definitely packed lunches and I did not expect it to be inexpensive--like you said, a ski vacation is always expensive. Maybe it's just me, but I did think a $6 fountain drink (even the smallest size) was a bit much. It cost my family $30 to have a drink of ANYTHING except the free water in the little bitty 2-ounce water cooler cups at the bar. I've been a lot of places but I have never been anywhere that it's been quite that high. And I didn't seem to be the only one complaining about that either: the one-slice-of-pizza-and-a-drink-for-$16-combo "deal" at the to-go cafeteria was the joke around the mountain house. This alone made me very glad we did brown bag it!
The snow was a little thin/icy in spots and there were maybe a few closures on the trails, but not that bad. The higher up areas were obviously not as powdery as the lower parts of the mountain, but it really was not as much of a deterrent as all the people.
We had friends (both sets travelling with kids, all same ages as ours) in both Breckenridge and Park City this past week and both families just seemed to have an easier time overall, all things considered. Our trip wasn't terrible, I just think we will look around a little more next time. -
Report Abuse
Oh, I do agree about that being an outrageous price. We haven't been to Keystone for a couple of years but we gathered at some "hut" at the bottom of a run--near a "far" parking lot.
We are going again in March and hope the snow will improve over the season.
And yes, you have to go when you can.
We always loved Vail for many years while our kids were teens. Lots of terrain. -
Report Abuse
I do hope March is better for you, both snow and crowds. But either way, like I said, it didn't ruin our trip. It was just very noticeable.
I will have to check out Vail for next time. From what I gathered the Keystone properties are managed by Vail Management Co so you can ski both places and/or Breckenridge, depending on the ticket package you purchase. Of course with our young children it was just more feasible to stay in one place, but as they get older it might be fun to spread out a little bit, or at least check out one place or the other. Vail is where my husband learned to ski many years ago and it is still his favorite. Park City is nice too, but I prefer Colorado.
Have fun in the spring and let us know about your trip! -
Report Abuse
Yes, there is a shared arrangement. I think you did for your family well in the ski school things as you wanted to. We have had our grands in the ski school there (might not have been as crowded) and it worked fine. You just never know. I honestly think "ski school" for tiny ones is baby sitting so parents et al can ski, and that is how we approach it. Even our grand who LIVES in Colorado was in that "semi-circle around the magic carpet"==she didn't care a bit about skiiing!! I was piffed to be paying for her pout!! Just so you know. LOL
But the real deal for little ones in ski school--they take them in and out of the shelter. They can't stay out in that cold (as you say you had). It's an all day affair. They do look after them--age appropriate. -
Report Abuse
Yes, that is exactly what we decided by the end of the week - it was a step up from the childcare option (they also offered this), which gave the children a chance to at least put on skis. But since we actually wanted our kids to learn to ski, we went the other route and I was so glad! Every time we walked up the instructors tried to steer us towards ski school and we had to sort of insist on the lesson. I am sure this was due to the price difference, but we were happy to pay it, especially since it paid off and our kids were actually on the slopes by the end of the week. I realize I am complaining on one hand about food prices and on the other hand I'm saying it's no big deal to dish out the extra dough for a private lesson, but to me there is more value in acquiring a skill than an getting a sip of Sprite.
Funny story about your grand, LOL. I was so afraid we would get there and our kids would HATE the snow and cold and want to stay inside the whole time. Had that been the case I would not have hesitated to put them in the childcare or ski school. (BTW all the instructors were very attentive.) But they really had a ball and we had to drag them off the slopes each day. It truly was a lovely vacation for the simple fact that they learned to ski and we had great family time. -

If you think Keystone is expensive, wait till you stay at Vail! haha
My favorites are Aspen (stay in town), Winter Park, Steamboat and Crested Butte. -

Not sure what you are trying to say, Sanibella. You seem to be happy about Keystone but unhappy about the crowds. Unfortunately Christmas/New Years weeks are without question the busiest time of the year. You are going to have crowds and the problems that come with crowds. I don't think you will see much differences at that time of year between Breckenridge, Copper, etc. We have spent several Christmases at Breckenridge and seldom ski except for Christmas Day and New Year Day when the crowds are a little smaller. Living in Denver we don't have to ski at that time. And snow was tight this year but Keystone cannot control that either. I am sure they were making snow entire time. Just cannot make enough.
Vail Ski corp owns Keystone and Breckenridge so you can buy a multi day ticket that allows skiing at any of the three areas. You could move from one site to another during the day but that does make much sense because of the transit time. On a side note - The owners of Copper Mt (at the moment blank on the company) has the management contract for Winter Park (owned by Denver Parks Dept) so those two ski areas have interchangeable tickets.
We actually prefer Breckenridge as a base because it has more extensive services since it is a real town and not just a resort area. Vail is nice but it is not set up as well to handle large crowds and when it is crowded it is crowded. Beaver Creek works much better at that time of year because the lodging is limited, don't have the day skier pressure, and they are not friendly towards day skiers.
Come back next year but just know their will be large crowds. -

It wasn't the worst place I have ever stayed, but I wasn't thoroughly happy about Keystone, for reasons listed in the trip report (the accommodations were below my standards for sure, among other things not having to do with snow or crowds). But what I was trying to do was list a thorough trip report for anyone who has not been to Keystone in awhile, since I had researched it before going and had not seen a recent one on Fodors before leaving. That's all. Just tried to report the facts as they were. Yes, it was crowded, which I noted, and anyone researching a trip in the future might like to know that detail if wanting to go on the same week(s). If it's that crowded in other areas too, they can research that too, and know that going in. But we had to take vacation time when we had it, and honestly, I don't think Keystone properties did a super job handling the crowds (especially if they know it's high season as everyone here seems to be aware). Letting us sit outside in one degree weather and telling us they are too busy to bring us a key, the shuttle not working on schedule, no hot water, these are all indications that they cannot handle the crowds, and to me, that means I will look for a place that can handle it better next time. (One with better food options, by the way.) Because it was a trip report I was trying to be a little more objective in my post but since you seem to be so confused now you know "what I'm trying to say."
Thanks for the info on Breckenridge. As I have stated previously, I think we will look elsewhere next time, probably there or Deer Valley. (And before the flames begin: I am fully aware that a ski trip is expensive and Deer Valley is likely more expensive: in my TRIP REPORT I was simply trying to update the information here on Fodors for future researchers and list what the costs might be for any interested skiiers in Keystone, which I did find to be a bit pricey, although not surprising.) -
Report Abuse
If you want great food, go to Aspen! (seriously, you won't run out of excellent restaurants in Aspen)
Report Abuse
That is true but you may run out of money. Deer Valley does have the advantage that they shut off ticket sales when they reach a certain "capacity." Even with limited ticket sales, it can be very crowded. And, of course, snow boarders are ban. The food at the ski bases is a notch or two better than most ski areas.
You might look at the Beaver Creek complex the next time as it provides a higher level of services and the mountain is much better and larger than Deer Valley. -
Report Abuse
DH and I love Deer Valley. It is more expensive for lift tickets but we think it's worth it. It also has the added advantage of being a few minutes from Park City which is a real town and only 45 min from the Salt Lake airport. It is lower in altitude than the CO areas so adjustment is easier. Other ski areas in Park City you may enjoy are Canyons and Park City Resort. There is a free shuttle bus among all areas and the town. Ski areas everywhere will be mobbed and have top prices over the Holidays bcs, like you, most families have to adhere to the school vacation schedule. If you don't need to stay right at a resort, check out condo prices in locations a few min drive away on sites like vrbo. Some of our grown sons' favorite memories are of ski trips we took as a family when they were in school. Enjoy.

We are at Breckenridge this year. Another holiday weekend, I might add. Everyone here (staff) is pointing out that it is a crowded weekend. While the chair lifts were pretty crowded on the weekend, much more so than the weekdays have been, we didn't feel the strain of the crowds at all. Breckenridge has been SO much more pleasant this year than our experience last year! They can seriously handle the crowds -- there is much more staff present, they are manning the chair lifts, the slopes, every common area with all hands on deck to keep things moving along, everyone is just prepared.
Meanwhile, the village is super cute and quaint with plenty of attraction...and within walking distance for us, so no waiting on the shuttle this year for us. Which, by the way, the shuttle is a large size bus which appears to be running continuously.
Our condo is more dated than others here, but *we have housekeeping every day* and *plenty of hot water* and it's convenient to slopes and village. Couldn't be an easier location. I don't remember seeing anything like this in Keystone, but I might have missed it.
And, the food is great! We have eaten in four restaurants, not including the ones that are slope side. All have been reasonably priced with a variety of food options, and we have a party of TEN! Seated us right away (holiday weekend, oh my!) and great service. And the slope side restaurants are decent too. And hello--you can get a variety of meal entrees for $8-10 and a variety of drink options for $2-5. REASONABLE. I like. A lot.
We have done ski school and private lessons with various ages represented and been very, very pleased with the size of the groups and also the one-on-one lessons. Kids have been up on the mountain several times with small group lessons and one of the more athletic adults went from beginner to level 3 in a day. Money well spent all around.
Our experienced skiers in the group have been way up the mountain and found plenty to challenge them. True there are not as many blacks and double blacks, but they have plenty to do.
We have now been to Park City, Deer Valley, and Snowmass with adults only, but only to Keystone and Breck with kids and extended family. Again, we did not have a terrible time in Keystone, it was *fine* but we are just loving Breckenridge for the bigger group!

NEW DELHI (AP) — A second suspect was arrested Monday in the rape of a 5-year-old girl who New Delhi police say was left for dead in a locked room, a case that has brought a new wave of protests against how Indian authorities handle sex crimes.
Pradeep Kumar, a 19-year-old garment factory worker, was arrested Monday in the eastern state of Bihar, about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) from New Delhi, and was being brought to the capital, police said.
Police said questioning of the first man arrested in the case, Manoj Kumar, led them to the second suspect. Manoj Kumar, 24, was arrested Saturday in Bihar and flown back to New Delhi. Kumar is a common last name in India and the two men are not related.
The men are accused of abducting, raping and attempting to murder the 5-year-old, who went missing April 15 and was found two days later by neighbors who heard her crying in a locked room in the same New Delhi building where she lives with her family. The girl was alone when she was found, having been left for dead by her attackers, police say.
The girl was in critical condition when she was transferred Thursday from a local hospital to the largest government-run hospital in the country. D.K. Sharma, medical superintendent of the hospital in New Delhi where the girl was being treated, said Monday that she was responding well and that her condition had stabilized.
"She is much better today and her wounds are healing well," Sharma told reporters.
The attack came four months after the fatal gang rape of a woman on a New Delhi bus sparked outrage across India about the treatment of women in the country.
For the third consecutive day, sporadic protests erupted in at least three places in New Delhi. Scores of supporters of the main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party dodged a huge police cordon and managed to reach the gates of Parliament where they shouted slogans against the Delhi police's tardy handling of the case. About 100 BJP supporters were detained. Police said they would be held at a nearby police station and then released in a few hours.
Separately, about 100 women protested at another area near the Parliament building. Most of the protests were directed against the Delhi police officers who failed to act after the girl's parents told them she was missing.
The protesters have demanded that the Delhi police chief be removed from office and that police accused of failing to act on the parents' complaint be dismissed.
"The police must be held accountable for their shocking levels of apathy. They urgently need to review police processes to ensure that all cases of rape and sexual violence — not just those highlighted by the media — are fully and promptly investigated," said G. Ananthapadmanabhan, who heads the India chapter of the human rights group Amnesty International.
"Those who fail to do their job must be held accountable," he said.
Delhi police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar admitted Monday that police had erred in handling the case.
"There have been shortfalls, so the station house officer and his deputy have been suspended," Kumar told reporters.
However, he said that instructions given to police officers since the December gang rape case to report all complaints of rape and molestation had led to a "phenomenal rise" in the number of such cases registered in the city.
"This shows that the tendency earlier to dissuade women from getting their complaints registered has changed dramatically," he said.
He said the number of rape and molestation cases that police were able to solve and make arrests had also gone up drastically.
Despite the police chief's claims of tighter enforcement, sexual crimes against women and children are reported every day in Indian newspapers, and women often complain about feeling insecure when they leave their homes.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called for changes in attitudes toward women in India.
"The gruesome assault on the little girl a few days back reminds us once again of the need to work collectively to root out this sort of depravity from our society," Singh said at a meeting Sunday with civil servants.
The December gang rape on the New Delhi bus sparked outrage and spurred the government to pass tough laws for crimes against women, including the death penalty for repeat offenders or for rape attacks that lead to the victim's death.
Activists say passing strong laws is not enough, and that the government must ensure that police and the justice system crack down on crimes against women.
"Mere changes in the law are not enough. Robust implementation is essential," Ananthapadmanabhan said.

Devastated by the termination of their attempt to have a baby through in vitro fertilization (IVF), John and Doris Del-Zio decided to sue those they considered responsible. After a multi-year odyssey, they won their case, but the Del-Zios received only a fraction of the damages they sought.
Worried About the Future of Research
A few months after the failure of their IVF attempt in September 1973, the Del-Zios were back in their Florida home and trying unsuccessfully to get on with their lives. Then John received phone calls from two doctors involved in the attempt: William Sweeney, who had surgically removed Doris' egg; and Landrum Shettles, the IVFpioneer who had tried to fertilize the egg before his experiment was halted by Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital administrator Raymond Vande Wiele. Both doctors were concerned that, if the Del-Zios didn't seek to punish those responsible for the disrupted attempt, American medical institutions would refrain from pursuing IVFresearch.
Suing to Help Other Families
John was not the suing type, and Doris was reluctant to revisit the painful incident, although she continued to suffer depression and distress. But the doctors convinced them that if they didn't bring the suit and show that IVF was a viable procedure that, in the Del-Zios' case, had been unjustly terminated, research in the field might be crippled. Doris, still angry at what had been done to her, agreed. After all, maybe Doris' daughter from her first marriage might needIVF to get pregnant some day. As she would recall, the lawsuit gave her "a new goal in life. And that was to get this procedure available for women who needed it, and wanted it, here in the United States." The Del-Zios hired an attorney, Michael Dennis, who had once represented Shettles, and in the summer of 1974, they sued Vande Wiele, Columbia University, and Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital for intentional infliction of emotional distress. The Del-Zios sought a total of $1.5 million in damages; two-thirds for Doris' distress, and one-third for John's.
Doris Del-Zio Takes the Stand
After multiple delays, the trial began on July 17, 1978, in Courtroom 312 of Manhattan's federal district court. Arriving that day, Doris was stunned by the crowd outside the courthouse. As she recalled, "The whole street was closed off. There were TV trucks and cameras all over the place. There were people running after me. I didn't know where they were coming from. It was like a mob scene." The impending arrival of the world's first test tube baby in England had raised the profile of the Del-Zio case exponentially, and interest would remain intense, with the New York Daily News running headlines like: TEST-TUBE MA'S SPIRIT WAS DESTROYED ALONGWITH THE EMBRYO. Jury selection proceeded quickly, with a group of four women and two men impaneled, and Doris took the witness stand that first afternoon, quickly coming under fire from the three defense attorneys. Over the next few days, they grilled her mercilessly, trying to get Doris to concede that Shettles was engaged in "rash experimentation" that could never have produced a child. But Doris stuck to her story. Vande Wiele had not halted an experiment, she simply explained, "that was my baby."
A Shifted Attack
The world's first test tube baby, Louise Brown, was born on the seventh day of the Del-Zio trial, and even though Judge Charles Stewart would instruct the jury to disregard that fact, it required a major shift in defense strategy. No longer could they argue that IVFwas impossible, a fool's dream. It had happened in England, so why not America? The defense team's tactics shifted to portraying Shettles as incompetent, someone who never could have personally created a test tube baby, even if it was theoretically possible. They assailed his sloppy recordkeeping and brought in a witness to attest that he had not incubated the Del-Zio egg properly. Arguments wrapped up on August 17, and that afternoon, the jury began 13 hours of deliberations.
A Small Victory
At 7:30pm on August 18, the parties were summoned to hear the verdict. The jury found for the Del-Zios; Vande Wiele, Columbia, and Columbia-Presbyterian had engaged in behavior "utterly intolerable in a civilized community." Doris felt vindicated, while John considered it a case of David beating Goliath. But the victory was hardly complete; the jury had awarded a mere fraction of the amount sought: $50,000 for Doris' damages, and just $3 to John.

Healthy carb pasta12/04/2008 |
I am confused as how to figure the number of carbs when I eat a pasta such as Dreamfield. The box says there are 41 grams of carbs per serving (5 grams of fiber). However they claim there are only 5g of digestible carbs per serving. Which number should I use? I am trying to plan my meals but am uncertain how to treat this kind of pasta.Thanks.
Dreamfield pasta is a special kind of pasta. The website states "while the total number of carbohydrates is the same as traditional pasta, our patent-pending formula and unique manufacturing process protects all but 5 grams of carbohydrates from being digested. The Dreamfield's fiber and protein blend creates a protective barrier to reduce starch digestion in the small intestine. The unabsorbed, or protected carbohydrates then pass to the colon where they are fermented, providing the same health benefits as fiber."
Thus, when you are figuring our the carbs in your meal, you can use 5g of carb per serving. As always, check your blood sugar before and 2 hours after the meal to confirm the effect that this pasta has on your blood sugars.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- The Carolina Hurricanes have traded forward Jussi Jokinen to the Pittsburgh Penguins for a draft pick.
The deal was announced Wednesday roughly an hour before the 3 p.m. trading deadline.
The Eastern Conference-leading Penguins -- who last week picked up star Jarome Iginla from Calgary -- added another offensive threat for a relatively low price.
The Hurricanes receive either a sixth- or seventh-round pick from Pittsburgh and will retain a portion of Jokinen's salary. His contract that pays him $3 million per season expires after 2013-14.
Jokinen is a noted shootout specialist and fan favorite whose scoring has fallen off during this shortened season.
Jokinen has 30 career shootout goals, and only two players in league history have scored more since the tiebreaker was introduced in 2005-06.

Mohegan — Mohegan Sun Chief Executive Officer Mitchell Etess was encouraged Wednesday about next season's American Athletic Conference women's basketball tournament coming to the casino.
"By no means is it a done deal. Not at all. That decision won't be made until May," Etess said Wednesday in a telephone conversation. "But our talks have been productive."
The XL Center in Hartford, home to the Big East Tournament since 2004, is also a candidate.
The AAC is the name of UConn's new league.
The final decision will be made at the Big East meetings in Florida May 19-22.
Protests from Catholic schools have denied Mohegan Sun's previous bid for the Big East women's basketball tournament.
Mohegan Sun is home to several basketball tournaments, including a six-team tournament tied to the Basketball Hall of Fame in November and the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference championships in March.

I made an infinity scarf for a friend--I think that was her favorite handmade gift.But generally, I'm not much into handmade stuff.I only made this because I wanted an infinity scarf that wasn't as generous (therefore not as poofy) as the ones I saw in the stores. And I didn't much like the fabrics I saw them in.

Big Rapids, Mich. - The 2013 Ferris State University volleyball team will celebrate a memorable campaign and trip to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight by holding its annual postseason awards banquet on Saturday, Feb. 1, at Falcon Head Golf Course in Big Rapids.
The banquet will begin at 11 a.m. (ET) and run until approximately 1 p.m. (ET).
The event will include a buffet meal, individual and team postseason awards, a senior presentation along with a season highlight film.
All Bulldog fans and parents are invited and encouraged to attend the annual event. The cost is $20 per person. Parents and fans are asked to please RSVP by email or phone prior to the banquet so the proper arrangements can be made.
Those wishing to attend or anyone who has additional questions should please call the FSU Volleyball Office at (231) 591-2871 or email coordinator of operations Robin Young (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Ferris State closed a memorable 2013 campaign by winning the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional Championship to advance to the Division II Elite Eight. FSU closed the year with a 25-9 overall record after nearly pulling off a major win over eventual national runner-up BYU-Hawaii in their first appearance deep on the national stage since the late 1980's. The Bulldogs, who made their 18th all-time NCAA Tournament appearance this past fall, claimed a regional crown to reach the Elite Eight and national quarterfinals for only the third time in school history and first since 1989.
This past year marked Ferris State's first regional championship since previously winning two back in 1987 and 1989. The Bulldogs reached at least the regional semifinals for the third year in a row and have now made the NCAA Tournament nine times under head coach Tia Brandel-Wilhelm, who led FSU to the Elite Eight for the first time in her tenure after notching her 500th career victory in an exciting 3-2 comeback win over archrival Grand Valley State in the Midwest Regional title match in Allendale.
The Bulldogs also placed tied for second this season in the GLIAC with a 15-3 overall record, reached the conference tournament for the 16th consecutive year and posted 20 wins or more for the 12th time in 18 seasons under Brandel-Wilhelm's direction.

Written by Staff Reports
Two openly-gay UCC ministers, who have been in a committed relationship for 18 years and were married in a church in 1994, are one of six same-gender couples who have become plaintiffs in a Washington State lawsuit challenging the state's ban on gay marriage.
The Revs. Dave Shull and Peter Ilgenfritz, members of the clergy team at University Congregational UCC in Seattle, have joined a lawsuit against King County seeking to overturn Washington's 1998 Defense of Marriage Act, charging that it violates the equal protection clause of the state's constitution.
The suit, filed in March by the Northwest Women's Law Center and the Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, has generated significant attention by Seattle and national media.
"There's that continuing sense of being less than," Shull told the Seattle Times. "Our commitment, our relationship, is not seen as being as good, as being as sacred, as being as holy. There's that second-class citizenship that is always present."
Leslie Christian, a member of Plymouth UCC in Seattle, is also one of the plaintiffs.
The lawsuit's filing corresponds with the signing of an executive order by Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels calling for city benefits to be offered to same-gender couples who are granted marriage licenses in other states.

Goodbye Pandora! My new workout motivator: Podcasts
Happy Friday! I will not be getting down on Friday because today is a rest day and for some reason my body has been super duper tired. More than usual. I'm starting to think that I need mix up my workouts. I would love to do a fitness class at my gym but they're scheduled either at 5:55 am (no, thank you) or 6 ish, and by the time I get to the gym at 4:30 I want to get in, get out and go home. So I bike, run and elliptical with the occasional lift when I'm feeling tough. I've also acquired a bad case of gym tunnel-vision so when I'm there I don't want to talk to anyone and just live an hour in my La La land. My mantra: go hard then go home and play with my doggie, but today I rest and it's just grand.
My new workout obsession? Podcasts. So long (for now) Pandora, I have found a new love to stream through my ear buds; don't get me wrong, I love my tunes. Music makes everything better; however, does anyone else get so lost in their music that they are focusing MORE at the task at hand. You're probably thinking, duh that's the point, and yes this is fantastic at work and being productive but when I'm on the spin bike I don't want to focus on my legs peddling for an hour. Music has always pumped me up but for some reason its become more of white noise than a motivating distraction. When I run, I don't wanna know I'm running. Make sense? Probably not but it works for me.
So I've recently turned to podcasts to power my workouts and I LOVE THEM! I've been listening to Jillian Michael's' Podcast and I learn so much– it's like I'm exercising my brain, too 😀 I'll select an hour segment, start peddling, and before I know it I'm done with my workout with a new knowledge of nutritional yeast and fat-burning foods. I think it's because I'm focusing more on what Jillian's is saying than the lyrics when Pitbull' is spitting booty rhymes. I've realized though that I have to really be genuinely interested in the podcast or I'll just drone it out and focus on my burning thighs.
And not to be a nerd, but I'm learning so much! I downloaded the TUNEin app on my iPhone and it's fab.
There are a ton of different categories of pod casts and radio stations to choose from that it's almost overwhelming. Plus when I'm listening about fitness and nutrition. it's almost a motivator in-itself without all the heart-pumping base music.
Recently I've been toying with the idea to train for and run a half-marathon because it's (1) on my bucket list and (2) I really want to sport the 13.1 sticker on my car! It excites and terrifies me at the same time. I can be such a head case that I worry that I wouldn't be able to mentally focus for 13.1 miles of pure shoe-to-pavement running (OH LOOK! A HOT AIR BALLOON, IS THAT A DONUT?). One of my best friends ran a half and full marathon and instead of music she listened to the Harry Potter books on CD. GENIUS. So I think my solution could be either be Mr. Harry Potter or a podcast– either fantastic choices.
Here are some other pod casts that I love:
