Clean up your SOAP-based Web services
The Test Center inspects five worthy tools for keeping your services squeaky clean
AdventNet Qengine 6.8
QEngine's UI is a browser, which means that when you launch the tool, you're really launching an application server. In this case, the application server is Tomcat, which also fires up an instance of MySQL server for the tool's data storage system. QEngine tries to mitigate the inconveniences of running in a browser by installing the QEngine toolbar browser plug-in, which adds buttons that make it easier to control the QEngine system.
Logging into QEngine ushers you into the suite manager screen. From there, you can either create or import a new test suite, or choose to work with an existing suite. If you choose the latter, a dialog materializes, giving you the option to work on Web functionality, Web performance, Web services functionality, or Web services performance. In other words, a single suite can host up to four categories of tests, and these categories are never really aware of one another. So, for example, if you're doing Web functionality test work, you don't see the Web services performance tests within that same suite. This takes some getting used to.
Click for larger view.
The prebuilt test scripts are extremely spartan; you have to flesh them out for them to be useful. This is a two-step process. First, you supply the content of the requests using a pair of menu selections: DataSet Configuration and Parameterization. Dataset Configuration lets you set the sources of your input data as either a database (QEngine supports Oracle, SQL Server, or MySQL) or a CSV file. After you've configured your datasets, choose Parameterization and you can set specific input values to be supplied either by the dataset you just configured or by manually entered values.
Second, you add response analysis to the script. This requires coding, but QEngine helps out with a large selection of built-in response-processing functions. A Function Generator dialog simplifies choosing the right method to call. Select a function from the categorized list, and the dialog provides a description and an input parameter list. In effect, it fills out the function call for you and pastes it into the script.
Even with QEngine's hand-holding, validating a response is not particularly easy, unless you choose a simple processing function. To really get inside the response, you have to pretty much peel apart the XML, so you might want to keep an XPath manual on hand. When you execute a script, the results are gathered into a report summarization screen. It's loaded with links that you can click to drill down into the specifics of the success or failure.

I used them by the door in my dinning room. I have a wood floor and when my dogs come in the house they would slide across the floor. Not now, with a rug on top everything is good. I also plan on buying another set to go under my elipticle trainer.
these looked good
great fit the area i need it too
Nice product! The mats are soft enough for comfot but firm enough so that dirt and debris don't get embedded. There are six squares in a pack: 2 squares are big enough for in front of a workbench. A single square makes a nice work surface for a small project.

Ideas & Sources for a Fold Down Table?
Good Questions
Q: I'm redecorating my tiny apartment and one of the things I want is a fold-down dining table/desk. I'm thinking of a "Murphy table" as a part of the wardrobe. I have seen a great one Dwell | Small Family Home in the East Village, but I hope you or your readers have ideas for other designs or versions too. Thanks in advance.
Sent by Solvi
Editor: While a lot of these kinds of solutions will be custom — I'd like to ask the readers to help compile links and sources similar to Dwell | Small Family Home in the East Village that will help inspire Solvi! Leave your own suggestions in the comments, please.

I'm moving to a tiny studio (16.5'x12' for main area) in about a week and recently bought the "Span Gateleg Table" and "Convertible Compact Desk" from Crate & Barrel.
The table only has a 9.5"Wx36"D footprint when folded but expands to 65.5"W. Something that I don't see on the website that I did see in the showroom is a note saying something like "This table works best when not used daily" or something to that effect. Still, it looks good and serves my purposes.
The desk looks like a regular drawer in compact form.
http://www.crateandbarrel.com/family.aspx?c=1070&f=28540&q=convertible desk&fromLocation=Search&DIMID=400001&SearchPage=1
Just to clarify, I'm planning to get it custom built, but need inspiration for good solutions, both custom built ones and commercially available.
Bort, one of the alternatives I have been thinking about is a table similar to the one you linked to that I could just put inside the wardrobe when I don't use it. There is no Crate & Barrel where I live (Europe), but I have looked at Skovby SM101 http://www.skovby.dk/showpage.php?pageid=2322 . It was well-built and great design. Unfortunately I didn't love any of the finishes (and for $2000 it should be perfect!).
Same thing only $180 at IKEA. I am planning on getting one today. I'll let you know how it is.
Just read your post in the comments. Show a local carpenter that design and I am sure they could do it in any finish with any wood and do it for cheaper.
I bought a small drop leaf table that came with a leaf. A friend of mine and I split the table in two and attached the center to the wall with some brackets. When not in use, it serves as an entry able. If you want, you can saw the corner legs to be even with the skirt of the table and use one of the extra legs in the in the center. You'll have a one legged table that can now house chairs more easily. Total project cost was $25.
Homebody.... those pics of the table are unbelievable. Now that is a drop-leaf table! My big complaint about most gate-leg tables is that the legs take up a ton of room and you can't seat people toward the middle of the table due to the obstructions underneath. So while some tables may look large, you can realistically only sit 4 people.
A custom solution is in order here. I saw the Dwell issue that featured this table. It may work for small family meals but I would think that if you have good ceiling height (and if the extra seating is worthwhile to you), you could get a longer table in this space. I was once in someone's home who had TWO "murphy tables"---one on each side of room. When they were both down, there was a small space between them to be able to walk through the room, but it mimicked the look of a long dining room table. In that way you could have one side down for a small gathering, or two sides down for a large table. Very cool.
By the way... another cool custom solution can be found in my absolute favorite book about Japanese design. Here's the link to Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Small-Spaces-Stylish-Ideas-Making/dp/4770020848/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1257445837&sr=1-1
It was a similar concept to the Dwell photo, but the table was part of a large rolling cabinet that served multiple purposes. Unfortunately I don't have a pic, but you could probably find this book at library. It is an awesome book full of what I like to call Swiss Army Knife Design... lots of function folding out of small places! :)
This may not suit your purposes but I ran across this desk at an antique store that I SHOULD have purchased. (this wouldn't be for daily dining use)
It looked just like a normal writing desk with a set of 3 drawers on each side and a hole in the middle for your legs. It was maybe 30" (2.5 ft) deep and 5' long.
BUT the entire top of the desk folded out to make the table-top twice as large. This part was supported with little drawers that pulled out, like some secretary desks use to support the unfolded lid. Making it a 5' x 5' table.
THEN the back of the desk folded UP (supported by a gate leg underneath) making the table about 7.5' by 5'. It was a BIG table, probably could have seated 8. I loved it because it had storage space for the extra table settings, but it would function as a regular desk 95% of the time.
The down side was that the person in the middle didn't have much leg room (there were the des legs there. But if you had it built for you there might be a solution for that...
Not sure if this will work for you but I love the idea. It comes in white or black.

The uncertainty surrounding who'll start at quarterback Saturday for Texas Tech remains. Davis Webb is considered a game-time decision after suffering a left (non-throwing) shoulder injury last Thursday.Read More
Each of Texas Tech's last two opponents has found an area to exploit in the defense and kept hammering away at it. Arkansas kept running the football to beat the Red Raiders. Oklahoma State kept throwing it deep.
Coming into the season, everyone knew quarterback depth might be a problem for the Red Raiders. Now, it is a reality. Texas Tech announced yesterday Davis Webb might not play Saturday against Kansas State.
Jarrett Stidham accounted for seven touchdowns in Stephenville's 55-20 win against Alvarado. Here's how the rest of Texas Tech's 2015 commits fared. OT Madison Akamnonu, Arlington Bowie Team rushed for 338 yards on 38 carries (8.
Janine Beckie feels the Red Raiders were tested Sunday, and will continue to be in conference play.
Anthony Smith laid in bed, waiting for his cellphone to ring, letting him know everything was OK. It never did. What had become a routine was now filled with silence. His "sister," Rosaline Hightower, died in her sleep on Jan.
After undergoing an MRI on Saturday, Texas Tech quarterback Davis Webb will be a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Kansas State, Tech spokesman Blayne Beal said.

Minn. man charged in officer's beating
Injured cop remains on medical leave with a brain injury, vision problems and other difficulties
By Joy Powell
Thomas Jerard Swenson, who turns 35 on Wednesday, is charged with attacking St. Paul police officer Felicia Reilly. She remains on leave from her job, a police spokesman said Monday.
Reilly was attacked on March 24, 2010, when she responded to a residence in the 1600 block of Birmingham Street, after Swenson's parents called and told police that he had threatened to hurt them. He hadn't taken medication for a bipolar disorder for about a year, they said, and he was drinking and smoking marijuana.

Did KENDALL JENNER get lip injections?!
She kinda looks like plump-lipped sis KIM KARDASHIAN in this selfie, don't you think?
The proud aunt of North West recently posted a selfie showing off her glossy, pouty lips, and it's got celebrity gossip websites buzzing, because it kind of looks like she got her lips enhanced.
And she's only 17 years old!
According to star news, BRUCE JENNER was recently spotted sporting a nose plaster on his face earlier this week, which has sparked speculation on whether or not he got a nose job.
Just like his female family members, Bruce Jenner appears to have a fondness for going under the knife. But would he actually get his nose done?
In recent entertainment news, KRIS JENNER said everyone needs a fresh set of boobs every 20 years.
Well, not everyone, Kris.
To say that Kris Jenner is not afraid of letting everybody know about (and see) her fake breasts is definitely an understatement.
The Kardashian momager and manager, who talked about her plastic surgery onSeptember 11 when the "Today" show controversially "interrupted" the moment of silence that commemorated victims of the terrorist attacks just to air her interview, opened up about her operation again on VH1′s "Big Morning Buzz Live."
In recent star news, "The Hills" star HEIDI MONTAG is once again speaking out on her plastic surgeries… and she says that she "wouldn't really recommend it" to anyone.
After undergoing 10 plastic surgery procedures (in one day!!!) back in 2009—which she once said was the best decision she ever made—Heidi Montag is now very much against doing any kind of cosmetic surgery on herself, and claims that she regrets all of the procedures she previously had.
Celebrity news has learned that JOSH HUTCHERSON recently got surgery to fix his broken nose.
So how did he break it?
Could he have broken it in a fight? That reason would sound about right, wouldn't it? First Josh gets caught buying booze with a fake ID, and now he goes brawling in bars.
It's a nice theory, sure. But will it stick?
Judging from her old and current photos, it looks like ADELE has had plastic surgery… and on her nose!
Check out her before and after photos:
Adele may have been pretty adamant about keeping things real and natural despite negative comments about her being a "bit too fat," but celebrity gossip websites have taken note of the change in appearance of the tip of her nose, suggesting that the "Someone Like You" singer has undergone rhinoplasty even before she got her Grammy award.

Fresh from managing to nickel and dime an extra $100 million from private investors, Fisker is all but admitting that it needs more help – significantly more. In a rcent interview, Fisker let the cat out of the proverbial bag that it is currently looking to ink some partnership deals with larger manufacturers.
Though there is no mention of who Fisker may be looking to partner up with, its CEO-for-the-moment, Tony Posawatz, said that a partnership is "on our radar screen." Chances are it will be looking for deals similar to the ones that Tesla has entered into with Daimler and Toyota . The real question is who would be interested in tying themselves to Fisker at this point in the game?
With the financial, quality, and safety issues that Fisker has endured lately, it may be more of a burden than it's worth. This is almost the identical reason that no one is interested in Lotus to date; it's just too risky of a venture.
Fisker may be willing to sweet the pot on a potential deal by covering more production costs or giving up partial ownership to help draw in an industry leader, like acquisition-happy Volkswagen , in order to get some much-needed cash flow. As it stands right now, Fisker needs help and a partnership may be its only way to survive.
We'll keep an eye on this to see if Fisker can convince a fellow automaker to take a risk by inking a production deal of some sort.

After the stock market tanked in 2007, many investors got cold feet and started pulling their money out of volatile markets. This action, of course, made the market even more precarious, which quickly revealed how unstable stock markets really were. In response, many people started to look for other ways to invest their money.
Bonds were a natural choice for many investors. Bonds have been used throughout history to help governments accumulate cash reserves. War bonds, treasury bonds, and municipal bonds are all popular options. There are, however, different types of bonds and you can buy a bond online. When exploring bond sellers, you should know the differences between these options. Knowing your options will help you make smarter long-term investment plans.
Municipal bonds are issued by territories, states, or city governments instead of the federal government. The interest rate attached to them can vary greatly depending on the bond, so be sure that you understand the specific terms of municipal bonds before purchasing them. One of the advantages of municipal bonds is that you don't usually have to pay city, state, or federal taxes on them. Some municipal bonds, however, do not benefit from this exemption.
Fixed bonds have set rates that will not change. This means that investors who purchase them are protected from financial loss. Their ability to make money from the bonds, however, is limited. There is little risk with fixed rate bonds, but there is also little money-making potential.
Floating rate notes, however, have interest rates that vary. This makes them riskier, but also provides an opportunity to make more money than one could get from fixed bonds. The variable rate is usually linked to a specific index. Most floating rate notes accumulate money over time, usually with quarterly payments. This lessens the risk associated with variable interest rates but can also have a limiting effect on investment returns.

The Nebraska Court of Appeals Tuesday affirmed the sexual assault and incest convictions of 39-year-old William Kelly.
He was convicted of the felonies in Cedar County District Court in 2011.
Prosecutors say Kelly sexually assaulted a teenage relative over the course of a decade.
Kelly appealed his conviction, arguing there was insufficient evidence, his counsel was ineffective and that evidence of prior sexual assaults should not have been allowed at trial.
The Court of Appeals found his claims without merit and denied his appeal.

Even better, these forms will include only the gross amounts—i.e. the payments made excluding any fees these companies or other intermediaries may charge—or returns, chargebacks or refunds.. As most of us well know, a payment of $100 often doesn't translate into a profit of $100, so it will be on the merchants' shoulders to report all fees among other business expenses.
Naturally, the IRS is worried that online merchants aren't reporting their income, either through ignorance or willful tax evasion. Reporting forms like the W-2 and other 1099s help tax payers to know what they have to pay taxes on (um, everything) and exactly how much they earned. (It's a heck of a lot easier than going through your records yourself, but you might still have to to get the fees.)
According to Barbara Weltman for Auction Bytes,
All merchants who accept payments through credit cards, debit cards, gift cards and PayPal will receive information returns telling them – and the IRS – the gross amount of the merchant card transactions. This will be broken down month by month. While the form uses the word "card," the IRS has made it clear that this is interpreted broadly to include third-party network transactions (i.e., PayPal).
There is at least one loophole: if you're just not that good an online merchant. Small merchants, making $20,000 or less in 200 or fewer transactions, will not require 1099 reporting.
Ultimately, there probably won't be an effect if you're already reporting your online income accurately. Will the new laws affect you?
We are SO not tax lawyers or accountants, it's not even funny. Please consult someone who is to learn about your tax responsibilities.

Open Post: Hosted By Darren Aronofsky's Anti-Meth PSAs
November 9, 2011 / Posted by: Michael K
If Aaron Carter's face and Lindsay Lohan's old teeth haven't convinced you to skip your daily meth break today, here's a couple of anti-meth PSAs (the rest are here) created by the director of Black Swan, The Wrestler and Pi. If anybody knows how to scare a bitch off the pipe, it's Darren.
As terrifying as some of these are, The Meth Project should've saved a little dough and just aired the original and most effective anti-drug PSA by Darren: the ass-to-ass scene from Requiem for a Dream. Uncle Hank's sweaty sex party face still fuels my nightmares.

Local Hamas leader shot dead in Tulkarem, Palestinian killed in blast in Gaza Strip
Israeli soldiers operating in the Nur A-Shams refugee camp, close to the West Bank city of Tulkarem, shot dead a local leader of the Hamas military wing hours after another leader was killed near Bethlehem.
Hamdi Darduk, head of Palestinian Intelligence in Tulkarem said that Tareq Abed Rabbo, the local leader of Hamas' military wing, was killed by troops who discovered him hiding in a closet. Another six Palestinians were wounded during the raid, Palestinian officials said.
Another member of Hamas, Mohammed Walid, gave himself up, the Israel Radio said.
Senior Hamas activist, Abed al-Yusef Abu-Moussa, was shot dead Friday morning by Israeli troops in a village south of Bethlehem. Hamas has vowed revenge for his death.
Later Friday, another Palestinian was killed and two seriously injured when a bomb apparently exploded accidentally in the Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, Palestinian security sources said.
Sources said the blast was most likely caused by a bomb being prepared for use later against Israeli targets in the Gaza Strip.
Earlier Friday in the Strip, some 30,000 people attended a rally in Khan Yunis to mark the 15th anniversary of the founding of Hamas.
Some of those present carried anti-tank missiles and Qassam rockets, while others wore mock explosives belts, similar to those sometimes used by suicide bombers.
Speakers at the rally urged the Palestinian people to continue with the Intifada. "The resistance will go on uninterrupted...Hamas was created to defend the Palestinian people and will continue the jihad and resistance," Ahmad Nimer, a local Hamas leader wanted by Israel told AFP in Khan Yunis.

Seattle Dining Itinerary - pls comment
We've never been to the Pacific Northwest before and have an eight day trip coming up in early October. We will be staying at the Sheraton downtown and will not have a car except one day when we go to Woodinville to visit wineries. Here is my dining plan so far. i'd appreciate opinions.
Ivars Acres of Clams (I'm having serious second thoughts on this one. I originally thought it would be the touristy, fun thing - buy the T-shirt etc but now I don't know)
Purple Care and Wine Bar
Red Fin - for sushi, sushi is a must
Matts in the market
Rays Boathouse (I'm having second thoughts here as well)
Pikes Pub
**I need one more dinner**
Hing Loon
Nola Cafe (Bainbridge)
Tamarind Tree
*Need a place between Snoqualmie and Woodinville on a Saturday
*Need a place in Ballard
I appreciate any suggestions, comments etc
ivars - eat the shirt but not the dreadful touristy food
purple and red fin - a bit trendoid but adequate provender
etta's - as at other tom douglas places, a 90% chance of getting a superb meal
matt's - best choice ever
ray's - have no second thoughts; a great place (downstairs) but needing a car
pikes pub (misnamed?) - unless beer is the question, this is not the answer
other nearby treats: union, steelhead diner, le pichet, union square grille, o'asian
You've got the right mind-set on Ivars. It certainly is touristy, campy fun. You might even find okay food. It's not where I would recommend for great food.
Where are you coming from? I ask because both Purple and Red Fin have a very generic feel to me - like they could be in any major city. I've been to Purple a couple of times and it was okay. I've only been to Red Fin once but was underwhelmed. There are definitely better sushi places in town. Search through the many sushi threads for ideas.
Etta's, Matt's, Ray's - all good ideas. I would add Union for your remaining dinner.
Your lunches are spot on. What type of place are you looking for in Ballard. There's a lot going on in that neighborhood now so it would help to know the feel, cuisine etc. that you like.
For your Tom Douglas place, I'd choose Palace Kitchen over Etta's. It has more of a locals vibe than touristy.
Pike Pub... Do you mean the Pike Brewing Company? If so I'd skip that and try the Elysian Brewing Company on Capitol Hill. Award-winning beers in a fun neighborhood setting. Decent pub grub.
Ballard... If you're going to be in town on a Sunday, I'd recommend walking around the farmer's market in Ballard during the day. There are high-end restaurants in Ballard that are very good (Volterra for example), but in this neighborhood, I think it's more all about the good, casual places. And cupcakes! Depends on what you're really looking for though so I won't recommend anything specific.
Ray's Boathouse, altho not the same of old, is a real Seattle treat and not to be missed. Especially in October when the crab season starts. Ray's is noted for it's half crab in the shell and greatwines to go with it. The bar is always busy but the view up the Ballard Locksis wonderful. If it is warm enough you can sit outside and watch the salmon leap.
Ivar's is a touristy thing and you would be better served to visit the clam diner (can't remeber name) in the Pike Place Market. There is a welcoming hostes always, great cheap views and great chow in major combination. Plus you cab 'do' the market as well. DO NOT FORGET Di Laurentis deli while there.
Haute Cuisine is still Rotors. Thierry, the owner/chef is a hoot and there is always great conviviality in the dining room.
re: sparkleplenty
Agree with the above comments re: completely nixing Red Fin and Ivar's, and also concur in the idea that Elysian is the superior brew pub over Pike Place, which has a cavernous space with a generic feel and mediocre food. It is easy to find much better eats in the Market and vicinity; there are many posts on that topic. I also think the upper level Ray's Cafe leaves alot to be desired.
Tamarind Tree and Salumi are outstanding picks, and IMO, borderline requisites given your time frame. I don't know if there is anything else quite like these two in the country.
For sushi, I like Saito's on 2nd Ave. It is well within the free downtown bus zone.
For Ballard lunch, how about Mexican? I think both La Carta de Oaxaca and Senor Moose hold their own and offer great values. You don't seem to have anything else in Latin cuisine.
I think sparkleplenty means "Rover's". I haven't been here for a few years, but when I went it was excellent french food, though expensive.
re: sparkleplenty
I think sparkleplenty is confusing Ray's Boathouse with the old Hiram's at the Locks. You can't see the lock's from Ray's - Ray's is farther northwest, on Shilshole Bay. Unfortunately Hiram's no longer exists. I used to love that place!
I believe (although I could be wrong) that Purple is a national chain so why go there when there are plenty of wonderful local places?
Ballard? On the high end, Bruce Naftaly's Le Gourmand for excellent French/NW food (dinner only, I think). On the low to medium end, La Carta de Oaxaca for good Oaxacan cuisine.
I would skip Hing Loon--it's fine, but nothing that much out of the ordinary in Chinese seafood-- and try something more unusual--Malay Satay Hut or Green Leaf.
Just back from a wonderful trip to Seattle! We had lunch at Purple on our last day, and my advice would be to skip it. It wasn't bad, just not that good. They do have a nice wine selection, so if you have an hour to kill one afternoon you could stop in for a glass. Our favorite was Serious Pie... had dinner there twice! But we do LOVE pizza! Lark was nice, too. Not superb, but very good.
re: hollyeve
Oh, and be sure to get a potato cheese piroshky at Pike Place Market! I can't think of a more delicious carbohydrate delivery device!
There's some great advice in this thread-I agree with skipping Pike Place Brewery, Purple and Hing Loon (never been to Red Fin, and I also agree that Ivar's could be okay but you aren't going to get a great meal). I think the advice to visit Elysian if you want a brew pub is good; Union and Steelhead Diner are terrific choices to substitute for the places we're discouraging.
In Ballard, La Carta de Oaxaca.
If you don't get recs for a place in between Snoqalmie and Woodinville, you might post a separate thread, since this one might only attract Seattle folks. The most direct way to go between the two would be up the Snoqualmie Valley (towns of Snoqalmie, Fall City, Duvall, Carnation), which is scenic but doesn't have much in the way of decent food.
re: christy319
One Ballard option not mentioned so far is a lively, good-value Puerto Rican restaurant called "Isla" on Market, just off Ballard Ave. You can hit any fried-food craving on their menu (empanada, plaintains, bacaloa/salt cod) all lightly done, excellent salads, service. Plus, you can sit outside and watch the world go by, always nice when you're dining solo.
It would be well worth your while to take a short hike up Capitol Hill to 12th Ave, Pike and Pine area.
Pizza = via tribunali (dinner only)
Emilia Romana Italian = La Spiga (dinner only)
French cafe, scene of the moment = Cafe Presse (great for an odd-hour meal)
NW cafe = Crave (best for brunch)
Under the radar, though voted in the top 10 the year it opened and still one of the best in town = Dinette (dinner only)
It's a coming neighborhood, and you can say you visited it when.
Another neighborhood is our International District, near the end of the free bus line. To come from rural Virginia and not visit Uwajimaya and the streets around it would be a shame.
Have a great trip.
Excellent input folks - I really appreciate this. To the question where am I coming from - rural Virginia in the Blue Ridge Mountains so not a lot of ethnic options.
The Purple was recommended by one of the wineries in Woodinville but they were recommending the Purple at the Woodinville location. I was a little concerned about visiting the wineries and then driving back to Seattle. I am NOT a chain kind of gal so the Purple cafe is probably not going to work.
Ballard will be a lunch meal. I will most likely be dining alone that day so something casual with atmosphere would be nice. Price isn't much of an issue. But given that we are traveling for eight days I don't want all of the meals to be $$$$
I will check out your suggestions - I already noticed that Rovers offers a tasting menu - thanks again
re: jmsvss
Purple Cafe isn't REALLY a chain... there are only 3 locations and I believe still family run. I can't speak for the new Purple in Seattle, but the original location in Woodinville has been wonderful every time I have gone. Also around that area is Barking Frog which I had a good experience at ... skip the Red Hook brewery for FOOD.
Also, if you are coming from Seattle and headed to Woodinville, the most direct route isn't through all of the cities christy319 mentioned. I would hop on 520 East, take it to the very end onto Avondale Road in Redmond, and follow that into Woodinville!
re: wino22
The OP asked for a place between Snoqualmie and Woodinville.
I'll only comment on what I know as I haven't been to all the places you've listed.
Ivar's is touristy and fine if you accept that, but there are much better spots for fish n chips. Anthony's on the Bell Pier may suit both your tourist and dining needs.
Purple is mediocre, but I've only been for lunch.
Not sure exactly where you will be on the Satruday, but in Woodinville the Barking Frog restaurant is excellent. It's across the street from Chateau St. Michelle at the Willows Lodge. Or for the NW pub experience go to the Forecaster's Pub and get a tour of the Red Hook brewery with free samples.
Etta's is solid, but I prefer Tom Douglas' other restaurants like Palace Kitchen, Dahlia Lounge, and Lola.
Ray's has great views and good food, but it is a big of a schlep from downtown. Technically I think it is in Ballard.
For sushi I recommend Nishino which is in the Madison Park neighborhood, a short cab ride from your hotel. Downtown has Shiro's which is also very popular, but not as creative as Nishino imo.
For a unique lunch experience, Baguette Box puts a new twist on Vietnamese sandwiches. It is run by the brother of the owner of Monsoon, which I also really like. If you go try the drunken chicken sandwich with a side of truffle fries.
If you want an upscale brunch on Saturday, the Salish Lodge at Snoqualmie Falls is quite good and the view is amazing.
I second Volterra in Ballard (not sure if they are open for lunch). Very good Italian food.
One more suggestion for either lunch or dinner downtown is Typhoon on Western Ave just beneath the Pike Place Market hillclimb.
I was a tourist there this week, and we had great sushi at the sushi bar at Shiro's - let them make up the menu and you will be happy!

Boone, NC (SportsNetwork.com) - Z. Mason scored 22 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for the double-double as his Chattanooga Mocs cruised to an 80-70 victory over the Appalachian State Mountaineers in Southern Conference play at the Holmes Center.
Mason hit 9-of-17 from the floor and added six blocked shots for Chattanooga (11-8, 5-0 SoCon). Martynas Bareika netted 16 points, hitting 4-of-9 from 3- point range, while Casey Jones chipped in 14 points and 11 rebounds. Ronrico White came off the bench to net 13 points, rounding out the double-digit scorers for Chattanooga. The Mocs have won seven straight.
Jay Canty led the way with 18 points and five rebounds for Appalachian State (4-13, 0-4). Mike Neal netted 16, Tab Hamilton scored 12 and Michael Obacha added 10 for the Mountaineers, who have lost five straight.
The Mocs jumped out to a 40-29 lead at the half thanks to strong first-half defense, holding the Mountaineers to 31.4 percent shooting from the floor. Chattanooga connected on 46.7 percent of its attempts.
That percentage increased in the second frame to an even 50 percent. The Mocs also connected on 12-of-15 free-throw attempts in the half. Appalachian State shot 51.9 percent from the field in the second period, but only outscored Chattanooga 41-40 in the half.
Chattanooga won the battle from 3-point range, 8-3, and held the edge in second-chance points, 15-9.

Honda Racing Corporation has decided to unveil their long-awaited NSF250R 4-stroke bike at the Catalunya race circuit in Barcelona on June 2, 2011, just in time for the future Moto3 class that's set to take the place of the current 125cc category of the GP125 class of the FIM Road-Racing World Championship.
The new NSF250R 4-stroke bike bears striking similarities to the bike it's replacing, the RS125R. Incidentally, the RS125R was ridden by both Dani Pedrosa and Andrea Dovizioso to their respective World Championship runs.
In developing the NSF250R, Honda Racing Corporation wanted to build a bike that took the same high-performance, lightweight, and compact elements of the RS125R. "We want users to ride with the same sense of comfort and inherits important elements from the RS125R such as the ability to learn the basics for moving up from entry level to the MotoGP ," HRC explains.
The bike is scheduled to have its official press face time on June 2nd at the Catalunya circuit in Barcelona with a public demonstration by Alex Criville happening a day later on June 3rd followed by another demo lap right after the warm-up session of the MotoGP race on Sunday, June 5th.
Those of you interested in keeping tabs on the new Moto3 class of MotoGP, you might find it worth your time to check out the bike that's being groomed to contend in the new series beginning in 2012.
UPDATE 10/11/2011 : America has waited enough, Honda . Now the Japanese company is finally dropping the wait after announcing the arrival of the 2012 HRC NSF250R. Developed for the FIM GP road racing competition in the Moto3 class, the NSF250R promises to live up to the hype - and so much more.

The Loners by Lex Thomas
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Goodreads rating "Liked it": 3.5 out 5 stars
Found Quarantine: The Loners to be similar to Michael Grant's series Gone. A far bloodier, violent, and darker version, but nevertheless similar. No cute dystopian love story, no supper beautiful teens taking on an unjust government, no fluff. The Loners was a grimy, ugly, dangerous example of human nature descending in to chaos.
My attention was snagged the moment I started reading this book, but it soon wasn't able to fully keep my attention. I was able to read this in one day, today, in school on my KindleFire, but instead of taking me around 2 periods or so, around 50 min. each, to finish this book
I'm a pretty fast reader, it took me all 7 periods, simply because I didn't find myself completely immersed into the world of The Loners and would begin to be drawn back to the lectures or the outside world, rather than focus solely on the book.
It was a good book and I enjoyed it, simply, it wasn't phenomenal, but a good read nevertheless.
This sci-fi YA novel tracks the events at a once regular high school after it is infected with a disease fatal to all adults and young children, and is dormant in those going through puberty. The school is suddenly entirely closed off from the world, and the anarchy that follows doesn't seem a far stretch from what might actually happen.
What makes The Loners most chilling is its realism. Friends band together, rivalries are formed, and the battle to survive begins. There are intense fight scenes, homicidal bullies, and a mysterious government force working to get those who are 'graduating'—out of puberty that is, and no longer immune to the disease—out of the building.
Honestly, the only part of the story that wasn't easy to accept was the lack realism of the setup, the beginning of it all. The events that took place were just too unrealistic for me to believe.
I'm glad that the author did not hold back and decided to stick with the reality of the impending situation, no matter how hard it might be for us to swallow. Even if we might like to believe that things would work out perfectly—They're just kids right? What harm could they do?, I'm sure that they wouldn't—far from it.
As a high school student myself, I can vouch for it. Honestly, just having a teacher step out of the classroom for a minute makes the class go crazy and out of control—regardless if they're freshmen or seniors, CP or AP students.
David and Will, two main characters in the story, are brothers with a relationship that most siblings can relate to.
You know what I'm talking about, that love-hate relationship that we all have with our family members. We love them one moment but the next we never want to see them again.
Dave and Will love each other, unconditionally, but they also get into momentous fights that neither is sure they'll ever get over. I liked the relationship between the two, yet hated it at the same time. The fights and disagreements were realistic and I think that's what made it so frustrating and annoying. I truly pitied the two badly whenever they started to go off on the other.
I enjoyed the book as a whole. I would definitely be interested in the next. It got hard to follow in places, though, and all the jumps meant I didn't get as emotionally connected to the characters as I'd like. Still, it was certainly an exciting, and interesting read.

Oreo posted this on their Facebook. The human race disgusts me.
But then think of all the people that supported what Oreo was doing. And clearly enough people supported it for Oreo to even do that in the first place.
There are always gonna be the dumbasses that refuse to be tolerant of anyone the slightest different from themselves, but at least it seems there are less and less of them.
My post would be like: FUCK YOU HEARTLESS DUMBASSES RAINBOW 4 LIFE~!
What if that Oreo is the most DELICIOUS Oreo ever made? Are those people REALLY going to miss out on it because of what if represents? ARE PEOPLE THAT FUCKING HOMOPHOBIC?!?!?!
This is so beyond retarded. Now I really dislike the word "retarded", but I think it fits here. That cookie looks delicious, there's no doubt about that in my mind.
This seriously makes me want to cry…
if the rainbow oreos actually have THAT MUCH ICING in them you better fucking believe I'm buying them
Stupid ignorant people are now missing out on pretty much the best cookies on the planet. Go ahead. Buy the store brand. You know it's not the same.

[video] Quick Take: Meet Your Needs in Your Portfolio
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- We're five years removed from the financial collapse of 2008, but it has altered the investment decisions for many. TheStreet's Brittany Umar is with Mark Hamilton, chief investment officer of asset allocation at Oppenheimer Funds, discussing portfolio strategies.
The common rule calls for investors to subtract their age from the number 100, and allocate that percentage to stocks. So for example, if an investor is 40, he would allocate 60% of his portfolio to equities.
But Hamilton suggested that investors first need to identify their longer-term goals and needs from their portfolio.
Once they have an idea about what their needs will be, then they can begin finding the right tools for correctly allocating their assets.For instance, if the investor is looking for growth, it is usually best to be in equities, while bonds are generally sought after for income, he said. However, "hybrid" allocations look to achieve both growth and income. Hamilton suggested master limited partnerships or real estate investment trusts for that. But there's one component that's been severely altered: Portfolio protection. In the past, investors who wanted safety could simply own government bonds. But according to Hamilton, once the financial crisis hit, many investors fled to Treasuries, causing yields to plunge and driving down returns. He concluded that the current environment presents investors and managers with the challenge to find new and innovative ways to protect their assets. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich.
