1: Make your own grab and go snacks. Buy nuts and dried fruit in bulk at the beginning of the week, and make a huge container full of trail mix you can spoon from each day on your way out the door.
2: Avoid sports drinks, energy bars, etc., unless you're literally in the middle of a marathon or Ironman.
3: Teach your kids to become active participants in the "hunter gatherer" nature of food. Take them to the store, engage them while making meals and have them make suggestions for food they'd like to try or make.
4: "Eat things that were alive recently," sports nutritionist Curt Thompson says.
5: Pay attention to how your body, mind and emotions respond after you eat certain foods, Thompson says. What we eat has a direct impact on how we feel, act and think.
Sources: Curt Thompson, sports nutritionist and Mary Collette Rogers, owner of Everyday Good Eating.
B oulder athletes worry about their VO2 max, their joints, stretching and cross training. They hire the best physical therapists, coaches and buy the best gear.
But what about their food?
As marketing and advertising continue to shape the way we view products, some athletes say their community is being pushed away from eating healthy, real foods, and toward energy drinks, meal replacement bars, carbohydrate gels and sports drinks.
These foods are marketed as "health" foods and sold at local health foods stores. In an athlete's training-filled schedule, who has time to cook a meal anyway, many athletes ask.
It's not true for all athletes in Boulder, says sports nutritionist Curt Thompson. But this New Year's, Thompson is urging athletes and non-athletes alike to make time for food, and consider it a priority rather than an afterthought.
After all, if we don't eat, we die, Thompson pointed out.
"When people say I don't have time to eat well, what that tells me if you've got your priorities wrong," he said. "I think a lot of athletes fall into that category."
Thompson works with young athletes every day. In addition to being a nutritionist, he's also a soccer coach. From a young age, he says, athletes are conditioned to think they can't play a soccer game without drinking a sports drink, which is simply not true.
Thompson says sports drinks and energy bars are created for people who train "hours a day" and need to replenish lost nutrients quickly in the middle of a race, not teenaged soccer players who practice for an hour or so after school.
With professional athletes as spokespeople, it's easy to understand why young athletes have the wrong idea about what "healthy" means, Thompson added.
"We tend to reach for things in the hope that it's going to do something wonderful for us," he said. "A lot of times it's a quick fix. Give me an energy drink, give me something that's going to make me perform better. The attitude around food is kind of twisted in the wrong direction. We put everything else as a higher priority as food has become grab and go."
He's also noticed that the next generation of athletes have never had to cook for themselves, only eating meals prepared by their parents or by the college dining hall.
When they graduate or move out of the dorms and start feeding themselves, Thompson says they have no clue where to turn. So they eat whatever is easiest or in front of them, often energy bars, takeout or any number of processed packaged foods.
"I've had college soccer players ask me, 'What does it matter what I eat?" he said. "You look at them and you're dumbfounded, but they don't even know that what they eat makes a difference in their performance."
Everyday Good Eating owner Mary Colette Rogers said she was surprised when six athletes showed up to her Mediterranean foods cooking class earlier this fall.
They wanted to eat better, but were out of ideas for new recipes that were interesting, but also somewhat quick and easy to make.
"These six athletes joined us out of the blue," she said. "We were doing a kale dish and they said, 'Oh, we had kale a while ago and it was so bad we had to smother it in cheese to eat it, but we want to eat it because we know it's healthy.'"
So Rogers showed them how to make kale tasty. She instructed them to remove the stems because "they can be pretty tough," and how to prepare kale in different ways, including raw for salads.
Many athletes are far too busy to learn different cooking techniques, which may be hindering their attempts to eat healthy, Rogers said.
"You need to know those basics," she said. "How do you work with these really nutritious vegetables, and learn how to work with them quickly and correctly so that you want to eat them?"
Rogers said that because athletes train so many hours each week in addition to working or going to school, it's hard for them to find time to prepare a healthy meal. When they come home from a workout, they're starving and reach for whatever they can find.
Often, that's something pre-packaged and processed. And in huge quantities.
"It's that myth that somehow nutritious eating is different for athletes," she said. "That they have to have real power packed food, and just regular food doesn't do it."
But regular food is just fine, provided that athletes understand how it affects their bodies, how to prepare it and how to set themselves up to succeed by planning meals ahead of time.
Corey Steimel, a 27-year-old triathlete living in Golden, was one of the athletes in attendance that night learning about kale.
He says it's not that they don't want to eat healthy foods, it's that he and his athlete friends are tired of eating the same foods, day after day.
"I struggle with finding creative recipes that are not only healthy, but you can make in a timely manner," said Steimel, who trains between 10 and 20 hours a week in addition to his full-time job. "We don't have a whole lot of time to make food."
He and his athletic friends care about the food they eat, Steimel says. They've watched food documentaries, checked nutrition books out from the library and scan their favorite magazines for tips on eating healthy foods. Steimel and his housemates try to buy about 80 percent of their groceries from the fresh produce section.
"We still have a lot of things we need to learn about a lot of foods we'd like to incorporate in our diet," Steimel said. "Our biggest thing is finding out how to prepare the food and how it should be made."
Cyclist Brad Neagos, 23, said that it takes time planning out his meals in advance, but it's always better than eating meal replacement drinks or bars.
Neagos plans his meals a week in advance, he said, and looks over that plan each morning so that he can begin thawing meat for that night's meal.
"I really focus on it and try to plan ahead," Neagos said, adding that his favorite pre-race meal is linguini with clam sauce the night before.
Steimel said many athletes he knows at least attempt to eat well, but there are some who say they train so hard, it doesn't matter where they're getting their calories from.
"You don't put crap fuel into a high performance vehicle," Steimel said. "Just because a race car is burning through all that fuel doesn't mean you don't put high quality fuel in it. Some people have the philosophy that they're training so hard and with so much intensity that it doesn't matter. "

Programming by Alois Treindl
"...Aim for the limelight
You are not likely to be happy hiding your light under a bushel. You are intensely individualistic, and need to express yourself and be appreciated by those around you. For this reason you should put your energy behind your imaginative and intuitive gifts, and aim high enough to ensure that you can find a place where you can feel, and be seen as, special. This might be in the world of the arts, where your rich imagination could be put to work in many possible channels. Certain spheres of business could attract you if the work requires imagination, ingenuity, creative thinking, and a willingness to speculate or gamble on what is new and innovative. You have a constant fertile flow of ideas which need to be taken seriously, although sometimes you have so many ideas that you need to discriminate and put them to the test in practical terms. The worst thing you could do is take a job where you are bored, uninspired, and expected to fit into a highly structured institution or hierarchical company setup...
"...Your life is what you make of it
You are the sort of person who, when faced with a tight job market and poor economic conditions, simply thinks of something original and creates his or her own path into the future. You are a true adventurer, with a self-sufficient nature and a dislike of being obligated to anyone. You want to make your own way in life, and the tougher the challenge, the better. You may not be flamboyant about your love of independence; but whether you are introverted or put everything in the shop window for all to see, you love the feeling that you have encountered a hard obstacle and turned it into an opportunity. If you have tried to "fit in" to more collective working environments in large companies or institutions, you have probably met with many difficulties. You are not really suited to this kind of co-operative work situation. You can be fair and generous in your attitude toward colleagues, but it is difficult for you to conform, and even more difficult for you to accept a structure or work ideology imposed on you by others..."
"...Determination to succeed through your own efforts
You also have a lot of courage, and might do well to seek areas of work where you have to face difficult challenges or stiff competition. A good battle gets your adrenaline going and you don't enjoy winning too easily; you want an opponent who will do you honour by equalling your own abilities and strength. You probably enjoy independent projects, where you can come up with an idea, follow it through according to your own design, and present the results after having had to work hard to achieve them. Interference from others can rouse you to great anger, for you believe you know the right way to do things and do not tolerate anyone breathing down your neck when you are working. Make sure you find a place where you can have this kind of independence, and where your mind is challenged. If you are a more physical sort of person, competitive sport might suit you; if you are a more intellectual type, debate might also suit you. To get the best from your high levels of energy and determination, you need a fitting opponent, whether this is a group, an ideology, or an individual in the work place who has wronged you or others, or whose stupidity has caused problems. Try to avoid putting yourself in a position where your work gives you no stimulation and no challenge. Best of all, create independence in your working life. Many people fear the instability of being self-employed, but it is probable that you would thrive on the challenge..."
"...The spirit of the lone adventurer
You have a very adventurous spirit which is attracted to difficult challenges - especially those which you must meet on your own, through drawing on your individual resources and abilities. You can be quite ferociously independent, and you may experience some conflict with authority if you work within a large organisation - unless you are running it yourself. But even such a position of dominance may feel limiting because you would still have to deal with employees and with the "red tape" of bureaucracy. You want to be out on the mountain peaks fighting the elements alone, metaphorically if not literally. If you are a physical type, you might enjoy living this adventurous spirit out through sport or athletics, especially those challenges which require you to battle the elements. If you are more introverted, you still need to engage in battles with what you deem to be inimical to your values and ideals. You need an independent profession in which you can choose the size and frequency of those battles, and gain in confidence each time you feel you have won...
"...Born to lead, not to follow
You are quite able to recognise excellence in others and admire or even try to copy it. But you are intolerant of anyone attempting to tell you what to do, especially if you have little respect for that person or sense that the surface of authority masks a mean or hypocritical spirit beneath. You like to go your own way and muster your own crusade, and you do not really mind if there is no train of followers behind you. It is the challenge that exhilarates you, and the stimulating sense of creative power when you have to initiate something from your own creative resources..."
"...You can't achieve everything by yourself
Your chief limitation, in terms of work, arises from your greatest strength: your insistence on doing everything yourself. Your independence is a positive attribute which gives you the capacity to go it alone and create the kind of working life you wish. It also allows you to work at projects with the minimum of help and advice, and this makes you able to take the initiative and assume considerable authority in your work. But you may sometimes be too proud to accept help when it is offered, and may make things harder for yourself than is necessary. Others' generosity does not always carry a price tag, and you may need to remember that there will always be times when you must turn to others for support or advice or expertise in order to further your own goals. Your insistence on autonomy can also make it hard for you to delegate work if you have employees; you may feel, deep down, that no one can do it as well as you yourself can, and you could deprive others of the chance not only to develop their own abilities but also to help you. Pride can sometimes be a virtue, but it can also be a real handicap if it gets in the way of common sense and the capacity to relate to other humans in your working life..."
"...Needing to be in charge
You can be a stalwart support to colleagues who need your help and advice, and you are always willing to take on difficult tasks on behalf of those who are unable to do this themselves. Your working relationships are therefore likely to be mainly a "one- way street", because all the giving is on your side, and all the taking is done by others. In some ways this suits you, because you don't like to feel dependent, and prefer to make your own decisions and accept the consequences of your own mistakes as well as the rewards of your own successes. However, there may be times when this role becomes somewhat burdensome and you long for greater equality between you and your colleagues and co-workers. Yet this equality may be hard to create once you have established a pattern of being the "strong" one who doesn't need others' help. Your pride may make it difficult for you to let others know you are sometimes indecisive and unsure, and your determination to remain without obligations can make other resentful that they cannot offer support themselves. Over time, you may find yourself trapped in a pattern which you yourself have created, but which you may find very hard to undo..."
"...What Success Really Means to You
For you, success cannot really be measured in material terms. You feel most alive, and know that your life has a sense of meaning and purpose, only if you are pursuing your quest for a more inclusive world-view, and if you are sharing what you discover with others who, like yourself, are on a similar path. You have a natural propensity to see life as a journey and to understand your experiences as sources of learning and growth; and this is an intuitive and instinctive mode of perception - it is not dependent on any special philosophy or religious or spiritual perspective. At heart you are not only a perennial student, but also an educator - not of facts and disconnected pieces of information, but in the sense that Plato meant the term. The Latin word educare means "to lead forth", and education in this deeper sense is about inspiring a vision of order and meaning through discovering the connections between different systems of knowledge. Your tendency to see life as a quest may mean that traditional educational structures could leave you feeling dissatisfied, as though some essential knowledge has been left out. Although you would benefit from the best education possible, you will probably discover your own truths through your own learning process. Your mind is inquiring and restless, and you are likely to outgrow whatever values, beliefs and perceptions you acquired from your family and national background..."

Al Gore
Name: Al Gore
Short Biography
American politician, an attractive spokesman for the Democratic party with a famous political name, an unimpeachable family life, religious ties and a broad base of Southern support. The only son of a powerful U.S. Senator from Tennessee, Albert Gore, Sr. and Pauline LaFon Gore, a graduate of Vanderbilt Law School who campaigned as a helpmate with her husband, Al grew up with political and social awareness. He received a degree in government with honors from Harvard University in 1969. After graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Army.
Gore met Mary Elizabeth Aitcheson, nicknamed "Tipper," at his high school senior prom. They dated while he was in Harvard and she was working on her psychology degree from Boston University. They married on 5/19/1970, at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC, before he shipped out for Vietnam.
Returning to civilian life, Gore settled in Tennessee and attended Divinity School while working nights as a newspaper reporter in Nashville. He and Tipper bought the farm they still call home in Carthage, TN in 1973, the same year their first child was born. He had experience as an investigative reporter, home builder and land developer, livestock and tobacco farmer. Gore went into politics in 1976 when he was elected to represent Tennessee in the U.S. House of Representatives. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1984, and when re-elected in 1990, he became the first statewide candidate in modern history to carry all 95 Tennessee counties. Liberal on domestic issues, moderate on defense, he is pursuing the family political dream as established by his dad, serving four terms in Congress and eight years in the Senate. Making a run for the oval office in 1988, he won Democratic primaries and caucuses in seven states.
The Gore family increased with the addition of four kids, Karenna, born on 8/06/1973, Kristin, 6/05/1977, Sarah, 1/07/1979, and Albert III, 10/19/1982. In April 1989, Gore took his six-year-old son, Albert III, to watch a baseball game. The boy ran into traffic and was hit by a car and thrown 30 feet, suffering massive internal injuries. His legs and ribs were broken and his internal organs crushed. For a harrowing month, Al and Tipper barely left their son's hospital bedside and one of them slept beside him for the next three months. His recovery took months of extensive surgery and therapy. With family counseling, they learned to put more emphasis on partnership and teamwork. Gore had to deal with his parental feelings that he should have been better able to protect his son. Having had just recently failed his 1988 presidential nomination, he had to reevaluate his political directions as well as what his family meant to him. He decided against another political run in 1992, pulling away from public life to put more time into the strength and solidarity of his family.
They go to church on Sunday, and in the evenings all get together for a group dialogue to "get their needs out on the table." Together with Tipper, Al Gore is one of the strongest voices for America's families and their policy puts a stronger emphasis on fatherhood, increases flexibility for parents in the workplace and gives parents more control over the information that comes into their home.
Named as Bill Clinton's running mate at the Democratic convention 7/13/92, he was elected in the November contest and sworn in 1/20/1993, 11:44:40 AM EST, Washington, DC. The pair were re-elected to a second term in 1996 and sworn in on 1/20/1997. Together, they have led the country into a period of sustained economic growth marked by new jobs and the lowest combined rate of unemployment, inflation and mortgage rates in 28 years.
In mid-March 1999, Gore once more hit the campaign trail, stumping for the presidential nomination in Iowa. On 3/07/2000, he defeated his opponent in the primaries, Bill Bradley, to become the Democratic candidate for president, running against Republican George W. Bush.
Al Gore accepted his Party's nomination at the Democratic Convention in Los Angeles on 8/16/2000, 7:14 PM PDT.
Elections were held on 11/07/2000, leading to one of the most dramatic and confusing contests ever witnessed. When the issue of uncounted ballots finally went to the Supreme Court, the conclusion was upheld that Bush was the winner by a number of several hundred votes.

A new 40,000-square-foot South Jeffco emporium slinging everything from skateboards and paintball guns to secondhand DVDs and video games is slated to open Aug. 1.
Tradesmart, a new concept store from the Amarillo, Texas-based Hastings Entertainment company, is banking on the idea that customers remain hungry for hard copies of media in an increasingly digitized world.
"For us, our market is still doing great," said Hastings regional manager Ben Mabry, noting that demand for vinyl records — another medium the store will offer — is booming. "We buy product from the customers. We sell it back at a great value."
Depending on the title, used CDs and DVDs are sold for a few dollars or less. Though the majority of the store's merchandise, including books, will be pre-owned, initial offerings in the athletic department will be new.
In the future, it might not be a stretch for customers to turn in used skateboard decks for credit toward video games, Mabry said.
"That's always a possibility at this point," he said.
The store, located at 8500 W. Crestline Ave., will initially employee a staff of about 90, Mabry said, adding that the business is still filling a few positions. Hastings operates four stores in Colorado.

As the Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 go on sale, several Galaxy Nexus owners are already getting the update to Android 4.2. Luckily, updating your Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 manually is easy - download the update file from Google, and install it through adb. I did so earlier today, and it all went smoothly. Chrome seems to perform better (yay!), but for the rest this is clearly a point release. Two issues for me: the new lockscreen with widget support is a joke (only three Google-sanctioned widgets are available), and on the Nexus 7, Google did something I just can't wrap my brain around. Whereas on phones you open the new settings dropdown with two fingers, on the Nexus 7 you swipe down with one finger on the right to get the settings dropdown, and one finger on the left to get the notifications panel. Unintuitive, and incredibly cumbersome and confusing on a relatively small device like the Nexus 7. No more one-handed operation, either. Why Google didn't just employ the same two-finger gesture on the Nexus 7 as they did on the Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus is beyond me. Such a massive UI fail - it almost makes me want to go back to 4.1.2. Luckily, my new HTC 8X will arrive in the mail tomorrow to distract me.

Are your mornings so crazed that you usually put your makeup on using your rear-view mirror? Here are the best looks to do in your (hopefully parked) car
Expert tip: Don't have concealer on you? Bowyer says to use "foundation left over in the cap or on the nozzle. It's a little thicker and can be lightly layered onto spots."

I keep a concealer stick and mascara in my car just for this purpose. Of course I don't apply it while driving.

@nicky22 the title reads sexy makeup you can do in your car, not while driving. If you are in a rush to best traffic, you can bring your makeup, arrive a few minutes before work starts or before you walk into a bar or wherever, spend a few moments doing your makeup, then stroll in.

I'm famous for applying makeup when someone else drives. I especially like using a white pencil for a wide-awake look.

Putting your make up on in your care is dangerous for the driver and others on the road! How irresponsable to post an article like this! You are encouraging risky behavior that endangers everybody. If you can't manage your time in the morning then may I suggest that you think twice before having children be cause they will grow up to be as stupid as the idiot putting make up on in the car. Whats next? Tips on texting and driving?

On busy mornings red lights are the best for furiously applying make-up. I love the tip about using foundation left in the cap to cover up spots.

Can one bring an eating disorder back into order?
Guest: Dr. Elizabeth Esalen from the Lotus Collaborative
Some of us eat to live. Others live to eat. The rest of us have lost control of eating.
In fact, many people throughout the developed world now suffer from a clinically significant eating disorder at some point in their life. These disorders include anorexia nervosa, binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, or disorders not otherwise specified.
Contrary to what some might think, eating disorders are not a fad or lifestyle choice; they are real, complex, and devastating conditions that have very serious consequences for one's health and productivity. The extent to which we in the developed world suffer from eating disorders leads us to ask…
To what extent do we suffer from eating disorders? Who is most vulnerable to losing control of their eating? How does one address a loved who has an eating disorder? How are eating disorders treated? And…
Can one bring an eating disorder back into order?

January 8/9th: Heavenly Cakes **NEW** Gluten Free Range
We are a week into January now and it is at this time of year that most of us make those New Year resolutions to start looking after ourselves a bit more. Indeed, after a Christmas period packed full of chocolate, cake and snack indulgences I'm sure there will be more than a few of you who have vowed yourselves to start looking at your diets a little more closely.
Whilst a great deal of people embark on the famous 'January diets', it is at this time we should probably spare a thought for the people who have to watch their diets on a more continuous basis - take for example people who have to eat gluten and wheat free foods:
'A gluten-free diet is a diet completely free of ingredients derived from gluten-containing cereals: wheat (including kamut and spelt), barley, rye, malts and triticale. It is the only medically accepted treatment for coeliac disease, the related condition dermatitis herpetiformis and wheat allergies'(thanks Wiki :D ).
When having to consider eating a diet not containing any of those things, Heavenly Cakes probably wouldn't be the first company you would think of when it comes to providing a solution for you. Well you are well wrong there !!
During the latter stages of last year, Maeve and Nigel (Founders of Heavenly Cakes) were hard at work developing a whole new Gluten-Free range. During this time they were kind enough to send me samples that they were developing alongside the original cakes when I was reviewing them. As you can see below, two examples of this were the Lemon Meringue and Marathon cakes that I reviewed last November (See HERE), they also sent along an exclusive cake to their Gluten-Free range, the Heavenly Cakes Gluten-Free Milk Chocolate Brownie with Nuts.
As you can see below by the photos the cakes themselves, looked no different whatsoever from the originals. My thoughts on how they tasted are below ... Marathon Flapjack - There were only very minor differences when it came to the base of this particular cake. It did seem to lose a touch of it's savoury oatyness, but this was more than covered up by the sweet buttery flavours and lashings of peanut butter and chocolate placed on top. It was still one truley phenomenal cake.
Lemon Meringue - Out of all the three types of cake this was the most obvious in terms of it's changed recipe. The shortbread did lose it's viscosity and was a little more crumbly and messy than the normal cake, but once again the layers above meant this was of real insignificance and it still retained most of it's biscuity charm. A delicious white chocolate and lemon combination.
Milk Chocolate Brownie with Nuts - I was a little worried at first because it didn't look at impressive as some of the other brownie products I had tried from Heavenly before. The taste was noticeably differentiated from the Heavenly Cakes brownie norm, but I'm pleased to say this wasn't a detrimental issue. I would say that on the balance of things the brownie was less cake focused, and more insanely rich in it's cocoa and nut flavours. The outer portion wasn't as crisp as one would have desired, but most importantly the inner section was gooey and softer to the bite. The presence of the walnuts and ground almonds was a masterstroke - the nuts really came through in the latter stages of the taste.
Overall I don't think anything more needs saying than a jolly congratulations to Heavenly Cakes for creating such a tremendous range of cakes for people who are restricted to these diets. Each and every one of the Gluten-Free cakes I have tried have been close to the originals - I bet if we tried a blind taste test the majority of people wouldn't even pick up on it. What makes the launch of these new Gluten-Free cakes even more extraordinary is that Maeve has managed to develop recipes for their entire range! If you are a person that has to adhere to these dietary restrictions and has somehow managed to wander on to this review then you should count yourself extremely lucky because you have just struck gold. Bravo Heavenly ... Bravo!!

Devashish Saini, a graduate student in the Health Informatics master's program, already holds an M.D. His research, under the supervision of Dr. Helmuth Orthner, focuses on the use of upcoming technology for prehospital care and disaster management. His thesis focuses on building and validating a feedback system for EMS personnel. He is also a Clinical Research Fellow in the Department of Emergency Medicine, and working on several projects focusing on improving quality of CPR in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases.
When asked what made him choose UAB for graduate studies, he replied, "UAB's Health Informatics program is one of the most respected health informatics programs in the U.S. Member of the program faculty have continually been leaders in the field of health informatics. The program also has a great blend of management, informatics and healthcare topics, and has prepared me very well for a career in informatics."
Devashish considers his advisor, Dr. Helmuth Orthner, to be his greatest influence. "Dr Orthner has influenced me greatly during my academic career at UAB. The breadth and depth of his knowledge about topics and issues in health informatics is very impressive. He has been very supportive of me on both professional and personal levels."
While attending UAB, Devashish has received the 2006 International Student Academic Excellence Award, the Charles Brook Award for Creativity (2005), the HIMSS Foundation HealthLink Scholarship (2005), and was selected for 2005 Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities.
Devashish's most rewarding experience here at UAB was serving as President of the UAB Association of Indian Students. "During that time, I was engaged in helping fellow students, making new friends, and organizing cultural events. During my term in office, I learned the value of community service and the skills needed to become an inspirational leader."
Devashish wants graduate students to get involved in campus activities. "There are so many wonderful opportunities at UAB for students to get involved in student activities, leadership, and community service. Being involved in what happens on campus will help you to improve your interpersonal skills, make new friends, and make a difference in the lives of others, all at the same time."
Devashish plans to join the Surgery (Preliminary) Residency Program at the University of Missouri-Columbia. "My career goals are twofold. I want to be a physician engaged in patient care, while leading the informatics initiatives in an academic healthcare organization as an informatician."

How difficult is it to remove powder coating is there a special process to remove it?
Last edited by PrecisionPowder; 09-25-2013 at 05:18 PM.
Its an hourly cost, so it would depend on how many parts there were and the quality of job the previous coater did. It would also depend a bit on the make up of the powder, an epoxy based powder comes off harder than a poly based powder. Its not a difficult job for an experienced person to do.
Without knowing all that information, or actually doing it I cannot give you an accurate estimate. Please message me to discuss further.
can you do something close to the Vietnam Tiger Stripe pattern?
Figured it was probably time for an update here. I will be running a sale through the rest of the month for halloween 15% off any thing I coat orange.
Pm'd a few questions. Thanks!
Samples from some new projects I am working on
I want to give out some STEEP discounts to a few who are willing to give me creative freedom with their marker. The price will be highly reduced in exchange for me having a blank slate to work with. Discounts will be an estimated 40-60% off normal price.
I want to do two of these, the first people to bring me an interesting milled marker will get it. I would prefer some neat milling over plain round tubes or square blocks, but I will consider anything.
I can promise something that will wow you when you look at it, and assure nothing else will be like it.

How about a mini tac mag pump with a t2w stock? I was going to contact you in the near future, but no better time to take you up on your offer and let you work your magic! My only reservation would be that I want it more of a dark color with some shimmer.
I'm currently building something you can use
To leave feedback: Click seller/buyers name, Click feedback score, Click leave feedback
I can give you nothing like that as I only am in the parts gathering part. Building 2 actually you can do something with. 1 will have a steel body thou
This is the mini tac pump, either way I guess I'll be talking with you at some point
I might have something, pm'd you.
Good example to show that size is not a problem here. This bumper is just over 7 feet long and weighs in at just under 200 pounds
Dodge3500- Your PM box is full so I will just leave this message out for everyone
Due to several storms rolling through the area over the last few weeks (totaling several feet of snow) progress has been slow as I have lost power 5 times now and gone through 2 transformers. We are currently in the middle of an ice storm which has so far left us with 1 inch of ice covering everything with trees resting on the branches. As a precaution I have suspended work on parts for a few days til I get power back, and feel confident that power will not get knocked out by weather again with parts in the oven. I am hoping that I will be able to pick up on parts again on Christmas and get back on track.
Thats cool man no worries or hurry.i hope things get better for you.lol thats way too much snow and ice for me.
Damn guess I should stop saying it's freaking cold when it's 52 out there. Hope you get power back soon.
I am hoping to get at least 3 guns done Christmas day, then work through the rest. I had Christmas planned off from my other jobs so it will give me time to get these done assuming power is back and not looking like its going to go back out

Seattle PrideFest Director Egan Orion Takes a Trip to Haiti, Builds Houses
When the images of the Jan. 10, 2010 earthquake near Port-au-Prince, Haiti were broadcast, Seattle PrideFest organizer Egan Orion watched in horror at the massive destruction and ensuing suffering. Like many of you, he contributed to the Red Cross to help Haitians recover from the disaster.
Over time, Haiti started to fade from his memory. Orion is the festival director at Seattle PrideFest, the biggest free Pride Festival in the country. He is also known to locals as the "Mob Boss," because of the popular flash mob events he's produced with his company, One Degree Events (100 mobs, 15 million video views, 5,000 mobbers).
Occasionally, Orion would see a news story about the slow rebuilding effort in Haiti. But mostly, he says he felt helpless to do anything. But then something happened that would change the course of Orion's life forever.
"I chanced upon an application for Habitat for Humanity's Carter Work Project in Haiti," Orion told EDGE. "I applied, was selected as one of the 600 volunteers, raised the requisite $5,000 for the trip, and on Thanksgiving night made my way to Atlanta to join the other volunteers before taking a charter flight to Port-au-Prince that Saturday."
It was fitting they should head to Haiti on Thanksgiving weekend, Orion remembered thinking because, "here at home, people were surrounded by food, family and friends.
"When we landed in Haiti and started to make our two-hour trip to our camp and build site in Léogâne (the epicenter of the earthquake), what I saw that afternoon was the polar opposite of the bounty I'd experienced at my family's Thanksgiving table," said Orion. "Extreme poverty, suffering, slums that went on for miles and a complete lack of sanitation. I knew now why I'd come to Haiti."
After seeing poverty on a scale that most Americans couldn't comprehend, Orion told EDGE he began to wonder if the 100 homes they'd build during the weeklong work project would do any good at all.
"The problem was so big, the suffering so great; how would my contribution be any more than a drop of water in an ocean of need," he said. "I'm used to a more manageable problem-solution equation."
A History of Helping the Community
In 2007, when it looked like the Pride Festival wouldn't happen at all, Orion felt that the community needed the annual celebration so much that he stepped up and made it happen. It was a nearly insurmountable task to accomplish just six weeks before Pride weekend. By enlisting the help of others, he made it happen. Under Orion's direction, Seattle PrideFest has grown into one of the largest Pride festivals in the country.
Orion and One Degree Events didn't stop there. Over the years, they've raised tens of thousands of dollars for community non-profits -- including $13,000 for Washington United for Marriage, the campaign credited for the ballot win to bring the freedom to marry to Washington State.
So when he arrived in Haiti, he'd seen challenging problems and been part of creating a solution, and yet as they drove through the slums of Port-au-Prince, the challenge of creating a festival from scratch in six weeks or even passing same-sex marriage seemed easy compared to what was unfolding before his very eyes.
Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and 80 percent of its 10 million citizens live in extreme poverty. The 2010 earthquake made this worse, and more recently, Hurricane Sandy wiped out two-thirds of the country's crops, which led to food riots and a lot of hungry people.
"As we drove through Port-au-Prince, I could see the result of decades of dictatorship and crushing poverty from my cushy seat in an air-conditioned bus," said Orion. "Corrugated roofs as far as the eye could see marked the breadth of the slums, side-by-side to lean-tos with little defense from the wind, rain, and sun, and certainly no protection from the next earthquake."
"Rivers that wound their way from the mountains to the coast converged in Port-au-Prince with a chaotic deluge of garbage, sewage, goats, cows, chickens and a mass of humanity," he said. "People bathed in tainted puddles as the dark grey plumes of burning garbage rose from the earth, spoiling the air and staining the sky."
"Earthquakes, Cholera, poverty, and hurricanes," Egan thought, "would the people of Haiti ever get a break?"
Those first few hours in Haiti turned Orion's earnestness into feelings of helplessness. Soon, the group arrived at their camp, surrounded by barbed wire and secured by armed guards, and settled in to their new home.
"We slept on cots in big tents, ate less-than-inspired meals in a big mess hall, dodged tarantulas and mosquitoes, met new friends, took our anti-Malaria medication, and began adjusting to the heat and humidity of Haiti," said Orion.
The next day, the workers were transported in buses (again, by armed guard) to the build site a half hour away from camp. There, a hundred enthusiastic soon-to-be homeowners and a hundred concrete foundations and stacks of construction supplies greeted them. They were put into teams of 8-10 people alongside President and Mrs. Carter, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, and people from around the globe, began to build.
"Yes, it was just a drop of water in an ocean of need, but it took an army of enthusiastic volunteers working eight or more hours a day for six days to build 100 houses for families in desperate need of safe housing," said Orion.
The houses they built were all single-story 14x14' structures (about 200 square feet) with two internal walls to form a small bedroom, a solid roof secured with hurricane straps and clips and insulated from the intense Haitian sun, as well as a community well and latrine. No running water. No electricity.
"As many of six or seven people would live in each tiny house, but for those with inadequate or unsafe housing, this tiny cottage represented safety, and ownership and the future," Orion told EDGE. "When you've been living in a lean-to covered by a tarp, the Habitat houses probably look like mini mansions to you."
"For the applicants of our two houses -- two strong Haitian women named Sonia and Marie -- it would be the first time they'd live in a house they could call their own and be safe from earthquakes and hurricanes," he said. "Sonia was younger than me, and already a grandmother. Marie, younger still, hammered with more vigor than some of the men on our team. All week, they worked alongside us to help build the houses they'd be living in."
As their homes took shape, you could see the dreams they had for their family -- once hopeless and dire -- begin to take shape, Orion said.
"When they hugged us each morning, you could tell it was with genuine love and gratitude," he said. "Haitians are used to be being promised many things that are never given, but this promise was being built before their very eyes. Each of them had an ocean of need between them, but it wasn't beyond my power to help them and when we finally left Haiti, I knew that Sonia and Marie's lives would be changed forever. I knew they would thrive. Even as I knew that my contribution was nearly invisible against the endless black sky of hopelessness in Haiti, I could see that for these two women, my help was everything. That alone was enough for me. I'd actually done some real good, and I felt it."
Taking His Experiences Home to Seattle
As one would expect from a guy like Orion, he brought his experience back with him to share with others so that they might learn something from it all.
"There is much work to do here at home, in our own neighborhoods and within our own communities," he told EDGE. "And there are many places like Haiti around the world, some nearby, others oceans away. As we look forward to our newly-won marriage rights in Washington State, some of you may be asking, "What next?"
"For me, that answer is to look out into the world, to find the suffering, inequality, and injustice, and to seek out the Sonias and the Maries of the world," he said. "For you, the need may be closer to home."
"Your Haiti may be just down the road or on the other side of the world," he continued. "Know that service takes sacrifice. It takes time to make things better; it takes money to fund important projects. But I know from my volunteer work in Haiti that my time and money were nothing compared to what I could do, or what we could do as a community if we came together to serve our communities and the world."
Orion went to Haiti looking to do some good in the world. Who he found was Sonia and Marie.
"Now I pass my intention to do good onto them, and onto you," Orion concluded. "Consider giving your time to something bigger than yourself. Our fight for equality and justice goes beyond what we want for our own community to the great big world beyond. Now that we can say 'I do,' we should start thinking about what 'We do' as a community. Because others pitched in to help, our community is now filled with more promise than ever. Now it's time for us to start to pay that promise forward."

BOULDER -- Boulder County commissioners decided Thursday night to assess impact fees on oil and gas companies drilling and operating future wells in unincorporated Boulder County to mitigate the wear and tear their heavy trucks and other vehicles are projected to cause on county roads.
Those transportation impact fees are intended to offset at least part of the costs of maintaining, repairing and making safety improvements to the parts of eastern Boulder County's road network, an area where drilling is mostly likely to begin.
The fee schedule approved by Commissioners Cindy Domenico, Deb Gardner and Elise Jones would translate to a total of $37,900 in one-time charges for a single well on a single well pad, with the charges increasing when there's more than one well per well pad.
Several of the 12 people who spoke at the commissioners' Thursday night public hearing on the transportation-fee proposal argued that those charges should be even higher and that they won't cover such county expenses as patrolling the roads to make sure oil and gas vehicles are following the laws and county regulations in using them, and in responding to the accidents that some of the speakers said are likely to come with the additional traffic.
Longmont resident Fred Gabriel, who identified himself as a trucker, said the particularly heavy vehicles that'll be used by oil and gas companies "are going to crush county roads like mashed potatoes. "
Gabriel said Boulder County roads were designed and built to accommodate conventional motor vehicles and farm equipment.
"We didn't design the roads for them," he said. "They should pay for all of this."
Last January, consultants told the county that when drilling gets under way in Boulder County, the needed road repairs, reconstruction and associated transportation safety improvements could cost the county as much as $27.6 million over a 16-year period.
No one identifying themselves as representatives of oil and gas companies spoke at Thursday's hearing, but in a letter emailed to county officials earlier on Thursday, attorneys for Noble Energy Inc. and Encana Oil and Gas (USA) Inc. objected to the proposed fee schedule.
Those attorneys wrote that Encana and Noble "share the county's objectives to ensure that roadway impacts are appropriately mitigated and the cost of such mitigation is fairly and equitably allocated."
But they said the two oil and gas companies "do not agree with the assumptions and methodology" in a county consultant's study of those potential impacts.
Those companies' attorneys contended in their letter that the county staff's recommendations don't, for example, consider "how current actual trucking practices or the use of pipelines to deliver water will reduce the estimated volume of truck traffic."
Encana's and Noble's attorneys asked in their letter that Boulder County include provisions in its oil and gas development regulations "that would allow operators to present and negotiate alternatives to the proposed transportation fee payment structure."
The county commissioners indicated the fee schedule could be revisited, if oil and gas companies can demonstrate that technological improvements and industry practices will result in less damage to the road network.
Encana's and Noble's attorneys said in their letter that neither company would have representatives attending the Thursday hearing, "due to safety concerns for their employees and representatives."
While the letter didn't detail those concerns, some of the people in the audience at a Dec. 4 commissioners' hearing on other oil and gas issues jeered at an oil company spokeswoman when she testified. Several followed the woman out of that meeting and heckled her as she walked to her car.
Since then, uniformed county security personnel and Boulder County sheriff's deputies have had a visible presence at the commissioners' subsequent oil and gas discussions and hearings, as was the case again on Thursday.

Second Round Results
NEW LONDON, N.C. -- Senior Julian Suri fired a six-under 66 to lead No. 9 Duke to a school-record tying 15-under 273 in the second round of the ACC Championship at Old North State Club. Seniors Brinson Paolini and Adam Sumrall posted rounds of 68 and 69, respectively, as Duke moved to within four shots of tournament leader Florida State.
"The course is in great shape and there is no doubt that when there is not a lot of wind and the greens aren't rock hard you can post some low scores," said head coach Jamie Green. "it is the kind of golf course that if you are playing smart and assertive you are going to make some birdies. I felt very good once these guys got off to a better start today that the golf course was there for the taking. They took advantage of those opportunities and I know we are really looking forward to the final round tomorrow."
Duke began the day tied for second and 11 shots behind the Seminoles before getting off to the fast start with seven birdies and two eagles over the first four holes of play. The Blue Devils carried the early momentum throughout the round en route to its lowest-round in ACC Championship play. The team finished the day with two eagles, 19 birdies and just six bogeys and one double-bogey.
Florida State, 14th in the Golfstat rankings, holds the 36-hole lead with a 25-under 551 with Duke second at 21-under (555). No. 7 Georgia Tech posted a 16-under 272 Saturday to move into third place at 20-under followed by Virginia Tech (-18, 558), Virginia (-10, 566), Wake Forest (-4, 572), Clemson (-3, 573), N.C. State (+4, 580), North Carolina (+4, 580), Maryland (+16, 592) and Boston College (+21, 597).
Anders Albertson holds the individual lead with an 11-under 133 with Chase Seiffert two shots back at nine-under (135). Suri enters tomorrow's final round tied for fifth with a seven-under 137, while Sumrall (-6) is tied for seventh and Paolini (-5) is tied for ninth.
"Julian's round was tremendous," commented Green. "He is one of those guys that loves this championships and this golf course. He feels comfortable here and that definitely showed today. He is dialed in. He feels good about his golf swing and I know he is in a really good place with his game."
Suri opened with a birdie on the par 5 first hole and added an eagle on the par 5 fourth hole to move to three-under. The Augustine, Fla., native added another birdie on No. 9 to make the turn at four-under. He continued to take advantage of the par 5s at Old North State Club with a birdie on No. 11 before suffering his lone bogey of the round on No. 14. Suri added a birdie on No. 16 before capping off the day with a birdie on the par 5 18th hole. He played the par 5s Saturday at five-under en route to the 66 (-6).
"I was able to keep the good vibes going from the end of my round yesterday," said Suri. "I kept my ball in play and made some good putts. I lost my concentration a little on the back nine but was able to regain my mojo following the bogey on No. 14. Overall, I am really pleased with our great team score today and looking forward to tomorrow's final round."
Paolini played bogey-free golf en route to a four-under 68. He began the day with an long eagle putt on No. 1 and added a birdie on the par 5 fourth hole to move to three-under. Following six straight pars, Paolini trimmed another stroke with a birdie on the par 5 11th hole. The Virginia Beach, Va., native closed the day with seven straight pars to extend his bogey-free run to 27 holes.
"I played really steady golf today and gave myself a lot of good looks," Paolini said. "I am looking forward to capitalizing on a few more tomorrow. This is what we have practiced for all year and we are ready to commit to the process and have a great day tomorrow."
For the second straight day, Sumrall posted a three-under 69. The South Bend, Ind., native recorded 15 pars and added birdies on No. 2, No. 5 and No. 10 for his fifth straight even-par or better round at Old North State Club. Sumrall has played 34 straight holes without a bogey. The lone blemish on his score card through two rounds was a double-bogey on his second hole of the tournament.
Junior Austin Cody was the lone Blue Devil to start slowly Saturday with a double-bogey on No. 2. He recovered with three birdies on the front nine to make the turn at even-par. Cody played error-free golf on the back nine with seven pars and birdies on No. 12 and No. 18 to cap off a two-under 70. He is now tied for 31st with a one-over 145.
Freshman Mads Soegaard posted an even-par 72 in the second round with four birdies, 10 pars and four bogeys. He is tied for 19th overall with a one-under 143 after 36 holes of play.

Last night was very quiet with just three games, but fantasy owners know that is just the quiet before the storm. Big Wednesday will probably determine the shape of many championships. Let's get right to the action and get you ready for a big night.
For real-time news and information, click here to follow me on Twitter.
Tyson Chandler (neck) did not play last night and is doubtful for tonight, and his status for Friday is in doubt, too. A decision to drop him is based solely on risk tolerance, since he's a must-start play when healthy. Raymond Felton has been awful lately, and posted another stinker with six points, three rebounds, and three assists in 32 minutes. You can't dump him, but weigh your options carefully as you deploy.
Kenyon Martin played 25 minutes and posted nine points, five rebounds and a block, which is the type of night you should be expecting for the low-end big man. Carmelo Anthony scored 29 points with eight rebounds and three steals but hit just 10-of-30 shots. J.R. Smith did not follow that tact with 13-of-24 makes for 32 points, seven rebounds, and three steals in the Knicks' easy win over the Celtics.
Danny Ainge said that Kevin Garnett does not have a sprained ankle, but the up to two-week absence is still on the table and it sounds like simple rest to me. Courtney Lee did not play due to his ankle injury, which is interesting if anything because his teammates wanted him back on the floor the other night. But he has also been called doubtful for Wednesday, which opens the door a bit for Jordan Crawford, who started in his place.
Crawford scored 14 points on 5-of-11 shooting with four rebounds, six assists, a steal and two threes, which is what you expect when he gets 41 minutes, but he's still a bit of a gamble as his production is tied to Lee's health. Brandon Bass had 11 points, seven rebounds, and three blocks, and is back on the radar if you need a forward. Jeff Green scored 19 points with 10 rebounds, six assists, a steal, a block and a three. He profiles as a difference maker for any games in which KG or Paul Pierce sit.
The Wolves ran away from the Pistons last night so the minutes were wonky on both sides. Nikola Pekovic bounced back with 18 points, 11 rebounds and a block, while Andrei Kirilenko struggled to the tune of nine points, one rebound, two assists, a steal and a three in 24 minutes. AK is not a must-start player but he has a four-game week to hopefully iron things out for those that took the plunge. Derrick Williams, who I'm not a huge fan of, played just 17 minutes for six points and five boards. J.J. Barea got hot with 21 points in 21 minutes, but a lopsided game against the Pistons shouldn't move the needle too much with any of these guys.
You can throw away the Pistons box, too. Nobody survived, with Jose Calderon's 14 points and one assist and Greg Monroe's 11 and 12 with four steals leading the way. Rodney Stuckey scored seven points and Brandon Knight scored seven points with three assists. Yuck.
Chris Paul was iffy going in last night due to a knee injury, which is something for owners to watch like a hawk, but he played and that bodes well for his overall status. He finished with 33 points on 12-of-15 shooting, six rebounds, five assists, two steals and three treys to back that up. DeAndre Jordan gave something to owners with eight points and 11 rebounds and nothing else. Matt Barnes was serviceable with 10 points, three rebounds, two threes, a steal and two blocks, but the 4-of-13 mark from the field is a buzz-kill. Again, like many of the outcomes here there isn't a lot to see.
O.J. Mayo has been a bit of a buzz-kill himself but it has been hard to trace his ineffectiveness to anything but his own invisible play. He injured his left shoulder late in a collision with Jamal Crawford and finished with 11 points on 5-of-15 shooting, five rebounds, four assists, and three steals, which gets the job done but doesn't assuage any fears that he's damaged goods.
Mike James continued his march out of nowhere and scored 10 points with four rebounds, six assists, and two threes on 4-of-8 shooting last night, and he's well worth a look even if Darren Collison will prevent a breakout. Owners simply have to assess if they believe James can keep up with the numbers under that scenario. Brandan Wright hit again with 11 points, seven rebounds, one steal and two blocks last night, and while I don't trust the center situation in Dallas at all he's worth a look if you're desperate for a big man. Wright has been surprising with low-end numbers, even if the Dallas shuffle at big man is totally unpredictable.
ORL @ CHA: Nikola Vucevic (concussion) did not travel for tonight's game and there is no reason for the Magic to rush him back. Kyle O'Quinn is a solid low-end pickup for those needing a big man. Andrew Nicholson (ankle) profiles as a guy that should see some minutes, but until he's healthy all bets are off. Josh McRoberts' shoulder injury hasn't generated any news, but any slippage there should be a sign to owners that they can grab a hot free agent. I think McBob can put up low-end numbers if healthy, but it's a critical stage for owners and it's not like he has a season-long history of production.
ATL @ TOR: Devin Harris (foot) is a very low-end desperation play and he is questionable right now. Kyle Lowry is apparently struggling with a knee injury but there have been no reports to suggest he won't go tonight. Dwane Casey backed off 'shutdown' talk for Rudy Gay, who is day-to-day. Back off a bit on projections for Alan Anderson and Terrence Ross. Amir Johnson's ankles were called "wobbly" by beat writers, and that bodes well for Jonas Valanciunas.
MIL @ PHI: Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (toe) is trying to return tonight, and that would remove about 24 mpg from the equation when he's at full strength. Mike Dunleavy (illness) and Larry Sanders (rest) are expected to play tonight. The Sixers are just looking to gain a rhythm. Good luck with that.
BOS @ CLE: Dion Waiters (knee) will return this season if he's cleared, but beat writers say he's closer to the operating room than the court. That's enough for me. Kyrie Irving (shoulder) hasn't been shut down for the year yet. Like others, owners should gauge their risk tolerance in making a decision there.
MEM @ NYK: We'll be watching to see how the Grizzlies handle life without Marc Gasol (abdomen). Jerryd Bayless, Ed Davis and Darrell Arthur will be under the microscope tonight.
LAC @ NO: Eric Gordon is dealing with an ankle injury. Tell me more. Meanwhile, Greivis Vasquez's ankle injury sounds a lot better and he sounds like he has a shot to go tonight. If you added Brian Roberts after his 18-assist outing I'd see how things play out. Gordon is a prime shutdown candidate and both Roberts and Vasquez are built to pass in the Hornets' offense.
IND @ HOU: There is a chance Danny Granger (knee) returns tonight, and I wouldn't think you're crazy for a speculative add. The Pacers are banged up and Granger has some upside, even if it's laced with downside in the form of injury risk, rust, and chance of low-utilization. The banged up crew of David West, George Hill, and Lance Stephenson could all return tonight, but West seems unlikely and Hill sounds very iffy himself.
LAL @ MIN: Metta World Peace is out indefinitely with his knee injury and is droppable without a doubt. Antawn Jamison's wrist injury makes him a question mark, but he, Jodie Meeks and Earl Clark are all worth a look as the remaining healthy bodies. There was also a report about Pau Gasol coming off the bench, but it doesn't really matter how he is deployed as his value will be the same.
MIA @ CHI: Dwyane Wade (knee) had a precautionary MRI and it revealed no serious damage and he looks like he's playing tonight. Joakim Noah (foot) did a "little more" in Tuesday's practice and is a game-time decision. Marco Belinelli (abdomen) was a game-time decision early yesterday and that means he has a shot tonight. Taj Gibson and Jimmy Butler are the beneficiaries, respectively. Derrick Rose? Ha. Your guess is as good as mine, but everybody is sick of the wait.
WAS @ OKC: The Wizards are suddenly hobbled and the attention of fantasy owners. Nene, Trevor Ariza and Martell Webster are all questionable.
DEN @ SA: Ty Lawson "didn't look good" during limited practice on Tuesday and he looks doubtful for tonight. Andre Miller is a must-start player if that is the case. The Spurs are at full strength, more or less.
PHO @ UTA: Jermaine O'Neal (calf, flu) practiced yesterday and that means he has a good shot of playing tonight. If he can stay healthy, he can make some noise. I think you all understand what type of risk that is. The Suns are about as easy of a matchup as one can get, so we'll see if the Jazz can get back on the right side of the ledger tonight.
BKY @ POR: Joe Johnson (quad) did not practice and he's a game-time call tonight. C.J. Watson is a desperation play best suited for deeper formats if Johnson can't go. You can move that up to standard league value if Gerald Wallace (rest) somehow doesn't play tonight. LaMarcus Aldridge didn't practice because of the flu, and that sounds light but he'll be questionable until a report says otherwise.
SAC @ GSW: Tyreke Evans is iffy for tonight due to the flu. Sacramento continues to be the favorite to keep their Kings, which is only a surprise to the rest of the nation not reading Rotoworld and PBT. The Warriors need a win tonight to keep their playoff hopes on a solid track.

Huskers Host Redbirds, Cowboys
The Nebraska men's tennis team (0-1) plays host to Illinois State (2-0) and No. 8 Oklahoma State (3-0) this weekend at the Nebraska Tennis Center. Play begins against Illinois State on Friday, Feb. 1 at 5 p.m. The Huskers then take on the Cowboys on Sunday, Feb. 3 at 10 a.m.
Tom Blackwell leads the Huskers after providing the team's lone victory in a 6-1 loss at No. 36 Louisville two weeks ago. Marc Hermann and Dusty Boyer will face tough tests at the top of the singles lineup.
Huskers Add Two for Spring Season
The Huskers added two student-athletes at the start of the spring semester to give Nebraska 13 players on its 2012-13 roster. Freshmen Chris Schindler and Andrew Dzulynsky became the newest Huskers.
Schindler comes to Nebraska from Hanau, Germany, where he reached the finals of his region (Hessen) twice as a junior player. This year his team won the Hessen Junior Team Championship. For the past four years he has been training in Spain.
" I like the fact that Chris is a good athlete," Nebraska Coach Kerry McDermott said. "He wants to prove himself to the team and the coaches. I see him battling for the 6-8 spot".
Dzulynsky comes to Nebraska from Florida. He was ranked in the top 10 for the 16's and 18's in the state. He received an ATP ranking in both singles and doubles of 1400.
" I am very happy to have Andrew playing high in our lineup," McDermott said. "I think the sky is the limit for him. I look forward to watching him grow in our program."
Nebraska in the National Rankings
Nebraska began the spring season at No. 74 in the ITA Divison I Men's Tennis Rankings. After falling at No. 36 Louisville, the Huskers slipped out of the top 75. The Huskers were ranked in the top 75 throughout the 2012 season, climbing as high as No. 38.
Looking Ahead
The Huskers return to the Nebraska Tennis Center next weekend for two more weekend matches against top-50 foes. Nebraska takes on No. 45 Drake on Friday, Feb. 8 at 6 p.m., before finishing off the challenging weekend weekend against No. 32 VCU Sunday, Feb. 10 at 10 a.m.

Freedom of speech or fuelling hatred?

"We realized the swell was building when the wave sets consistently began to roll in around eight feet," said Mission Beach lifeguard Ashley Marino. "This, combined with the tight intervals, high tide and abnormally large winter beach crowd, made us realize we could have some potential for rescues. We had already warned several groups to please stay knee deep, because once they lost their footing, it was pretty tough to find the bottom again."
While on patrol in her lifeguard vehicle, Marino caught sight of four teenage girls being swept off their feet by the surge of a powerful wave.
"Instantly, the main tower spotted it and radioed for me to head in," she said. "[South Mission Beach lifeguard] Jeff Hatfield — who was luckily also there — threw off his T-shirt, grabbed his buoy and fins and sprinted in. I followed about 10 seconds behind."
Three of the four girls found their footing, fought the crashing waves and made it safely ashore. The fourth, however, was in obvious trouble after being pulled into the impact zone where she was pounded by wave after wave, said Marino.
"I could see Hatfield swimming toward her, then a wave doubled up, first pushing her under, then pushing Hatfield back a few feet. I ducked under the wave, kicking up into a swim sprint again until I had caught up to Hatfield. Our victim was only about 10 feet in front when another wave crashed down on us," said Marino.
After five long seconds, the victim resurfaced and the lifesaving duo was ready to float the fatigued and breathless young woman safely ashore using a rescue can.
"Once we began to attempt swimming in, we all got pounded by another few waves, pushing us all down toward the bottom," said Marino. "The girl was jolted out of my arms, but I caught her shirt while we were under and began kicking us toward the surface again. We popped up to the surface all gasping for breath, once again, reassuring [the victim] that it was OK and we were almost in.
"It was very difficult to bring her in because she couldn't hold onto our rescue can due to fatigue, so I had her up against my chest and the rescue can under both of us. Jeff Hatfield had hold of the both of us and was pulling and kicking as I was kicking. After a few minutes of this, we finally felt the bottom with our feet and both struggled to maintain our hold as the current tried to push us back again."
Lifeguard Brian Clark also assisted in the rescue, keeping an eye on the victim from his bird's-eye view in the observation tower.
"This Thanksgiving, I was thankful that Jeff Hatfield and I both happened to be at that spot on the beach just then; thankful for my health and physical fitness, that Jeff and I were able to get to her on time; and thankful that [the victim's] family got the call she was alive after a very scary experience," said Marino.

Monday's speaker at the Hall of Fame Luncheon Club played college football with Jimmy Haslam II, piloted the Browns for seven seasons, and gave strong opinions of how Cleveland should replace Rob Chudzinski and proceed at quarterback.
He was a Cleveland Browns head coach longer than anyone except Paul Brown and Blanton Collier.
He was Jimmy Haslam II's teammate at the University of Tennessee.
He has kept both eyes on the Browns for decades, having chosen long ago to live out his life in Cleveland's east suburbs.
No one sees the current head coach opening quite like Sam Rutigliano. When he shared his views Monday after delivering a speech to the Hall of Fame Luncheon Club, his eyes flashed. His body language was passionate.
"With all due respect," Rutigliano said at Tozzi's on 12th, "it's time for a Gruden, a Cowher, or a Stoops."
That doesn't appear where the search to replace Rob Chudzinski is headed.
While Rutigliano was addressing the Luncheon Club, young Josh McDaniels was in New England confirming that the Browns interviewed him over the weekend. Adam Gase, even younger, was the hot candidate on talk radio. Auburn's Gus Malzahn and Vanderbilt's James Franklin are in the middle of the public radar.
Rutigliano's radar flashes with bigger craft.
Rutigliano and Haslam were fellow Tennessee Volunteer football players in 1951 and '52. Haslam's son, Jimmy III, is the owner of the Browns in title.
"They're good men," said Rutigliano, who hopes they will consider what he is certain is good advice: Beat the odds. If you haven't already, chase Jon Gruden, Bill Cowher or Bob Stoops. Arrange a personal meeting, one on one. Offer the moon.
"The only way to get an experienced coach," Rutigliano said, "is to get the owner to go to him, sit him down in a telephone booth, tell him what kind of money he's going to make, and what kind of guarantees he'll have."
Rutigliano knows Cowher well enough. They were together in Cleveland as coach and player from 1980-82. Rutigliano has studied Gruden, who began his coaching career at Tennessee, and Stoops, the 53-year-old head coach at Oklahoma who stunned Nick Saban's Alabama team last week.
He believes their abilities and credibility are what the Browns need to rise from the abyss. He has even thought about how he would go at them if he were in Haslam's shoes.
"What you tell them is, 'Look, I made a mistake when I hired Rob Chudzinski, because he didn't have the kind of experience needed,'" Rutigliano said. "I would talk about the kind of franchise the Browns are, and point to 73,000 being there for the opener against Miami even after all of the losing seasons.
"I would talk about the five guys who are going to the Pro Bowl, the seven picks in the first four rounds of the next draft, including the No. 4 overall pick and the Colts' first-rounder.
"I would point out the Colts were 2-14 in 2011 and the Chiefs were 2-14 in 2012, and both of them made the playoffs the next year.
"I would stress, 'We've got a chance to do an Indianapolis Colts or a Kansas City Chiefs. I would say I wanted to make a change and I wanted it to be the right change.
"Then I would say, 'I want to pay you this.' I would put the money on the table."
Rutigliano understands that one of the Pro Bowlers, Alex Mack, and another top player, T.J. Ward, can become free agents. He believes Haslam delivering the right "name" coach would help the Browns keep their own free agents and attract good players from other teams.
"Look at the moves the Indians were able to make after they signed Terry Francona," Rutigliano said.
Rutigliano is best known as the head coach of the 1980 "Kardiac Kids." He had the Browns in the playoffs in the strike-shortened 1982 season and led them to a 9-7 record in 1983, at which point he signed a five-year contract extension.
His 1984 Browns were 1-7 when Art Modell fired him. He used the contract payoff to "decide where I wanted to live the rest of my life." He loved Cleveland and settled in the area.
How he paid for a comfortable life was part of his point about using big money and guarantees to land a "name" coach. The offer must make it worth a Cowher's while.
Rutigliano talked about the obvious, that the next coach needs a good quarterback. He favors keeping Brian Hoyer, spending a high pick on a quarterback, and cutting ties with Brandon Weeden and Jason Campbell.
"After Hoyer, I would go with two new guys," he said. "Both other quarterbacks (Weeden, Campbell) proved they can't do it."
It all starts, in Rutigliano's opinion, with a splash at the top.

You know there's big trouble in the world of Beyonce and Jay Z when someone starts removing Instagram photos.
A day after video leaked of Beyonce's sister Solange Knowles beating on Jay Z in an elevator, Solange added insult to injury by deleting dozens of photos of Beyonce from her Instagram account, according to the New York Daily News.
Violence is one thing, but Instagram? This is getting serious.
Jezebel points out that only one picture remains: A throw back shot of the sisters posing next to music video director Melina Matsoukas.
"You forgot to delete this," one commenter wrote.
The News reports that Solange hasn't spoken publicly since video surfaced Monday showing the 27-year-old singer punching and kicking Jay Z last week inside The Standard hotel elevator following the Met Gala after-party.
Apparently Solange has a reputation for being a hothead.
Not long before the elevator dust up, she was spotted screaming at her designer pal Rachel Roy during the May 5 Boom Boom Room party, according to Us Weekly, which also reports that it was bad enough that Beyonce "got in the middle of it."
"Solange has flipped her lid like that before," a source told the magazine. "She is genuinely a sweet and nice person, but she also keeps (expletive) real. She can take a small thing and it triggers her."
Real crazy, it sounds like.
"This is not the first time this has happened," the source said. "That's why Bey and Jay were so calm. They are used to this from Solange. It has definitely happened before."
After the elevator confrontation, the trio walked together to waiting cars, with Solange in front of the couple. She climbed into the first car while Jay Z hesitated. Beyonce got in with her sister while Mr. Z entered the other vehicle.

QUICK-Clone cDNAs are premade double-stranded cDNA from which you can amplify a gene of interest using gene-specific primers. QUICK-Clone cDNA is ideal for amplifying previously isolated, structurally related, or cross-species cDNAs. Through direct amplification of a cDNA of interest, traditional library construction and screening can be avoided. QUICK-Clone cDNA can also be used to generate hybridization probes using gene-specific or degenerate primers (1–5).
A high-quality cDNA template is necessary to obtain good results from PCR amplification. Synthesized from premium, high quality poly A+ RNA prepared from various rat tissues using an oligo(dT) primer, QUICK-Clone cDNA is purified to remove residual RNA and size-selected to eliminate cDNA fragments smaller than 400 bp. The result is very pure, double-stranded cDNA ready for PCR.

TRAINING: Run at 6-7am, pads 10 - 10:30am, straight into wrestling and ground till 1. Then strength and conditioning at 2:30pm in Extreme Strength and Conditioning in Manchester for 1 hour 40 mins. Then race back for 8 to 10 rounds of sparing back at Kaobon with a stable of top quality fighters like Terry Etim, Paul Taylor, Mark Scanlon, Paul Sass, the list goes on and on.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I was beaten up quite badly in the town centre one night and decided that it wouldn't happen again. The Wolfslair guys are friends of mine and that's pretty much it. I finally found what I was meant to do. I went six fights and stopped them all in a couple of minutes. I also became close friends with Mike Bisping and almost got on TUF 3 so I have been waiting for this day for a while. Now that I am here I intend to stay. I love the UFC.
Do you have any heroes? What can I say? Wanderlei Silva, 'The Axe Murderer'. I love his style - he puts it all on the table, just like me
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? I have been around the UFC for a while now. They finally gave me a chance and it means everything for me. I love the organisation and as one of their biggest fans, it's a dream to be taking part in this.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? No
What was your job before you started fighting? I worked for my father in his cake shop; you have to diet a lot in this sport and being surrounded by cakes ain't good.
Specific accomplishments in pro competition? I fought on a lot of U.K shows all over the country. I had a couple of title shots coming up, but the UFC came along, so here I am.

LAKEWOOD — It's a problem that has reared its ugly head time and again for Dakota Ridge.
Three times this season the Eagles — against Green Mountain, Denver South and now Wheat Ridge — have had their 4A Plains Conference rivals on the ropes. And three times they've let them off.
The latest — a 21-10 loss to the Farmers on Oct. 26 at Jeffco Stadium — likely sealed Dakota Ridge's postseason hopes.
