WENATCHEE -- The Wenatchee Wild defeated the St. Louis Bandits in its final game of the Robertson Cup Championship Tournament on Saturday night in overtime, 5-4. The Wild concluded the tournament with a 2-2 record, but did not qualify for Sunday's championship game.
The Wild and Bandits exchanged goals throughout the game with neither team leading by more than a goal through 60-plus minutes. Ultimately, the Wild earned the win 7:51 into overtime when Armand de Swardt scored on an unassisted blistering slap shot from the top of the far circle during a power play.
The Bandits led 1-0 after the first period behind Ryan Stouffer's goal at the 14:06 mark from right in front of the Wild net on Joe Kalisz's feed from behind the cage. Wild forward Dajon Mingo tied up the contest 99 seconds into the second period. Entering the offensive zone at full speed, Mingo whistled a wrister from the top of the near faceoff circle that ricocheted off goaltender C.J. Groh's stick and into the net.
Stouffer reclaimed the lead for the Bandits, 2-1, less than two minutes after Mingo's goal. However, Mingo tied the contest back up, 2-2, near the midpoint of the second frame. Shorthanded, Mingo teamed up with de Swardt as the two forwards entered the Bandits' zone on a 2-on-2. Mingo slipped the puck to de Swardt, who sent a backhanded pass between a defender's skates back to a wide-open Mingo, who tapped the puck into the twine for his second goal of the contest.
The Wild and Bandits each scored two goals in the third period, as the game remained tied at the end of regulation. Jeff Jubinville gave the Wild its first lead 2:50 in the third period on his third goal in the last two games, when he beat Groh one-on-one. Ryan Timar and Kyle Brodie assisted. Patrick Sheehan tipped Brooks Bertsch's pass past Wild netminder Brendan Jensen a little over five minutes after Jubinville's goal to force the third tie of the game.
Wenatchee recovered the lead, 5-4, at the 8:58 mark, when Christian Hilbrich knocked a rebound into the cage off a de Swardt shot from the slot. St. Louis forced overtime when Ryan Belonger scored on a redirect off Sheehan's slapper from the point during a power-play opportunity.
Jensen stopped 32-of-36 shots and earned his second straight win in the Robertson Cup Championship Tournament. Groh turned aside 34 of the Wild's 39 shots. The Wild went 1-for-4 on the power play while the Bandits went 1-for-3.
De Swardt scored the game-winning goal to go along with two assists while Mingo scored two goals. For the Bandits, Stouffer scored two goals, Sheehan scored a goal and added an assist, and Kalisz recorded two helpers.
The tournament is over for the Wild, but the Fairbanks Ice Dogs will play the Bismarck Bobcats at 5:05pm on Sunday in the Robertson Cup championship game.

The Lord of the Rings Online giving players double XP in advance of Helm's Deep launch
Lord of the Rings Online's Helm's Deep expansion was announced back in April, but it still hasn't seen the light of day, something I'm going to blame on Boromir, the treacherous git. However, it seems to be on track now for a November release, with the month (that's this month) leading up to it bestowing all players with a very special gift. No, not a single lock of Galadriel's hair: double XP.

A Different Perspective - October 1
That's Life
by Berni Dymet
Job 30:26 But when I looked for good, evil came; and when I waited for light, darkness came.
I can't begin to tell you the number of times in my life when I've been expecting something really good from God - and what happens is that things just take a turn for the worse.
It's like - well if God is good, doesn't He want good things to happen to me? Doesn't He want to bless me? And so you ask Him to help with something. "God I'm really struggling with this and I don't know how to handle it and it's too big" - and you think to yourself - "Well, surely now, God is going to do something really good to bless me." Sometimes of course He does.
Other times though, things take a nosedive. And you know - that's often the way it goes. That's life. So often, when God is up to something good in my life - and in yours too - He starts doing things in people and situations. Digging around, changing things - and that upsets everything - and things all of a sudden get worse for a while before God's amazing plan finally unfolds.

Online Jackpot – Casino Bonuses & Reviews

We will provide you with the most amazing online Jackpot and Casino promotions that will help you start playing the internet casino games of choice! Experience what the top online casinos can offer.
You will find this site to contain a wealth of information that will definitely help you play your way to successful Online jackpots! this includes our top choices for online casinos, Casino promotions, reviews, news and lot more…
The secret to winning an online Jackpot.
Over the years, I've had the opportunity to play on a wide range of different gambling websites – most of them slot machine tips and poker table related. After playing hundreds of thousands of Texas Hold'em hands, I can safely tell you that many of these poker websites have "fishy" ways of dealing and flipping the cards.
More times than not, if you have a dominating starting hand in Texas Hold'em against your opponent, you will win the vast majority of draws. And yet, time and time again, lousy poker players are rewarded with bad plays because having better poker hand ranking is based on betting position and "sucking out" against better poker players who clearly deserved to win on these called best poker sites.
It is the general consensus that online poker sites often "reward" reckless and loose poker playing, since that kind of playing ultimately leads to people losing their money faster.
After all, this is a casino we're talking about.
That being said, it isn't impossible to find gambling websites where you can actually win jackpots online using best gambling practices and strategies. You just need to know where to look.
There are countless numbers of internet casino sites, many of which are set up outside of the U.S. in countries where there is very little commercial oversight. Given the fact that governmental inference in the gambling industry has been a point of contention between the U.S. government and the people for years, it isn't necessarily a bad thing that other countries are permissive of gambling websites.
If Uncle Sam has his way, there'd be no gambling on the internet at all (until he could figure out how to tax it).
Of course, the problem with these gaming websites is that the technology behind their gambling apps is dodgy at best. Even though it is already established that casinos slant the odds in their favor, online gambling websites take this to a whole new level. After all, who is watching and overseeing their operations?
Your only real recourse for landing a big online jackpot is to find a website that boasts about its fair play, "random" algorithms, and a track record of online jackpot winners.
Some of the better websites will let you play Slot machines, such as Jackpotjoy bingo and slots, as well as poker, blackjack and the roulette. We have some tips for you about how to win at blackjack and we also have some information about how to play blackjack the right way for your reference
Granted, I'm using the term "random" loosely – with computers, achieving true randomness is quite difficult. A few computer scientists have devised methods of creating computer programs that provide truly random results, but this kind of technology is usually not employed on an online gambling website.
Still, online gambling sites can keep their odds in a range that is compatible with traditional casinos are out there. Before you start depositing money with them, check out their "About Us" section of their websites and see what they have to say about fair play.
Another good sign of a fair play online gambling site is when they post a list of real-life online jackpot winners. Even though a casino makes its money by most of its customers losing, they always have to let some of their customers win, in order to keep them coming back. Be wary, however, of websites that don't seem to have any public way of promoting winners of their games. Chances are, if a gambling website hasn't any winners posted on their website, no one ever really wins an online jackpot.
Check out our roulette tips for a winning strategy on the wheel and the must know roulette rules to learn more about online casino roulette and how to play it. Also don't forget to read the slot machine jackpot article and the best you an find slot machine tips you can count on.
Remember that the key to gambling is entertainment – not winning. You always need to be prepared to part with your money in the name of fun and gaming. If you win – well, that's an added bonus.
But getting taken advantage of is never fun, so always be sure to find the fairest place to gamble possible and to win the biggest online jackpot.

The Chamber is open to all businesses in Dorchester and the surrounding area, from one person enterprises through to medium and large concerns. The annual membership fee reflects this, varying according to the number of employees in each business.
As its title suggests, the Chamber represents many different businesses as diverse as banking, restaurants, one person enterprises, local branches of national chains, supermarkets, tourist attractions, hotels, taxi companies, industries such as building and construction, and professions like accountancy, medicine and the law.
There are loads of great reasons to join the Dorchester Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Tourism and we've listed just some of them below:-
1. Network with other businesses and potential clients
Chamber meetings offer an excellent networking opportunity. You can request a 5 minute spot on the agenda to stand at the front and inform others about your business, but before and after every meeting there is a social time where you can relax and network at the bar. For the last year we have also been organising a meal for those who want to stay on. At just £10 for two course and coffee this represents excellent value and a great opportunity to make new friends and contacts.
2. A collective voice on local issues
Our meetings offer an opportunity for all our members to make their views known on local issues. We feel that it is vital that the Chamber has a strong and authoritative voice on matters of local importance such as pedestrianisation and the Weymouth Relief Road. Make sure you play a part in shaping our collective view by taking part in discussions and responding to email requests to members for their views.
3. Help shape the future of Dorchester
We are not just a talking shop. Important as it is to collect and represent the views of members we also believe in being pro-active. We feel it is not enough to just be in favour of a good idea but we do all we can to turn good ideas into reality. Our outstanding success so far has been the Dorchester BID but we can point to a host of initiatives started by the Chamber to the benefit of members. We are always in need of people to help us do this!
4. Informative national speakers
We are always on the lookout for interesting speakers on topics of interest to business people. During the past year meetings have been addressed by our local MP Oliver Letwin, Kenny Boyle (Marketing Director of Visit Britain) and Graham Kidd (then UK President of the Cittaslow movement) to name but two.

An Otherworldly Reverie Clouding His Vision1 Reviews
Ryan wants to admit something to Cammy and Brendon through a chatroom with their friends. Will he find the bravery in him to do so?
After making myself a bowl of cookie dough ice cream and taking a shower, I comfortably walked up to my room and grabbed my laptop from the cluttered desk in the corner of my room. It was fairly new, black with silver lining. I carried it back to my bed and placed myself down on it, signing on to AIM as xCammykinsLOVESyoux, realizing that most all of my friends were online. I started a chat room and invited them all.
xCammykinsLOVESyoux: Hey guys!
PeterPandaXO7 (Pete): Hey Cams.
LuigiXISXacoolXname (Spencer): Hi!!!
BlueberryBananaCupcake (Brendon): Aloha.
OvercoatsCANESandLONGwords (Ryan): Bden, you're not Hawaiian.
DylanISloveXOXO14 (Jon): WOO! CHAT ROOM!
PattycakePattycakeSTUMPx1 (Patrick): What's up, guys?
PeterPandaXO7: Patrick!! I love you, Buddy!
InsertDesiredScreenNameHere (Joe): If you love Patty than I love Spencer.
LuigiXISXacoolXname: Joe, shut up. No one cares what you think. =-)
InsertDesiredScreenNameHere: Tear That hurt, Spence. It really did.
DrumsANDtatoosRULE123 (Andy): Joe, your screen name sucks.
xCammykinsLOVESyoux: Yours sucks too, Andy.
BlueberryBananaCupcake: Hell yeah!
OvercoatsCANESandLONGwords: Hell yeah what?
DylanISloveXOXO14: Hell yeah for blueberry banana cupcakes. That's what.
xCammykinsLOVESyoux: Man, we have problems. =-) I love you guys.
PattycakePattycakeSTUMPx1: Yay!
DrumsANDtatoosRULE123: Last summer we took threes across the board.
LuigiXISXacoolXname: You're not a singer, Andy. You're a drummer.
DrumsANDtatootsRULE123: Drummers unite!
OvercoatsCANESandLONGwords: Guys, I want a pair of baggy pants.
BlueberryBananaCupcake: GASP!
DylanISloveXOXO14: NO!!! It's a sign, guys.
InsertDesiredScreenNameHere: Apocalypse!
PattycakePattycakeSTUMPx1: No, two apocalypses.
xCammykinsLOVESyoux: Three!
OvercoatsCANESandLONGwords: Relax guys. I was kidding.
BlueberryBananaCupcake: Phew. You had me worried!
OvercoatsCANESandLONGwords: Hey, Bden, Cammy, what if I told you that I had a dream about you?
LuigiXISXacoolXname: If I were them, I'd be scared.
PeterPandaXO7: Ditto, Spence.
OvercoatsCANESandLONGwords: No, I'm serious. The rest of you shut up already.
BlueberryBananaCupcake: Well, it depends, Ry. Was it dirty? ;-)
xCammykinsLOVESyoux: I'm not sure I want to know what you're thinking, Brenny. I wouldn't say anything if you told us you had a dream about me except to explain it. So that's what I'm going to do; tell me.
DrumsANDtatoosRULE123: Story time!
InsertDesiredScreenNameHere: Shut the Hell up, Andy. =-D
DrumsANDtatoos123: Access denied.

xCammykinsLOVESyoux: SHUT THE FUCK UP GUYS!!
OvercoatsCANESandLONGwords: Here goes nothing.
BlueberryBananaCupcake: Before I'm seventy, please, Ry.
OvercoatsCANESandLONGwords: I had a dream that I went to go give you your phone back after everybody left, because I was getting worried about you. I was walking down the sidewalk, remembering some memories that the rain recalled. You know what? I'll tell you later. Because some people here just happen to be eavesdropping. ;-)
BlueberryBananaCupcake: Eavesreaders.
xCammykinsLOVESyoux: Not to mention any names. cough Pete and Andy cough
I couldn't help but wonder what he had dreamt about that had him as frightened and distraught as he was this afternoon. It was strange to see him so disconcerted, so I knew it had to be some sort of otherworldly reverie. Or maybe just one that he didn't want to see.

Adam Ondra on La Capella, 9b
Björn Pohl - UKC, Feb 2011
© 9b
For a long time now, we have become used to Adam Ondra repeating everything hard in every style everywhere. Lately he has began making more and more hard first ascents however, presumably because there's simply not much hard left for him to repeat.
His latest addition, La Capella in the La Capella sector at Siurana, Spain, is possibly his most difficult route to date, first ascent or not.
The 15m route was bolted by David and Carles Brasco and is, according to Adam extremely bouldery: A 7A+/B "warm up" section takes you to two back to back 8A+/B sections with no real rest between them. After these three boulder problems, which could be compared to one long 8C boulder, you get some relaxing 7c+ climbing to the top.
What is interesting is that this is exactly the kind of new school route Paul Robinson and Chris Sharma, among others, have predicted, i.e hard boulder sections stacked on top of eachother as opposed to long endurance marathons.
Everything taken into account, Adam feels this could very well warrant 9b, but adds that he is by no means certain and that time will tell whether this is correct or not. I asked the man a few questions and as the true professional he is, I didn't have to wait long for the answers:
Congrats Adam! Must be a fantastic feeling for you making the FA of such a route
after so much work! Do you think you would have done the route on that try if you would
have had more time?
What can you tell me about the route and its specific difficulties? Can you compare it to other routes you have done?
How different do you find the process of making a first ascent compared to repeating someone else's route?
Thanks a lot Adam!
Here is a video of Adam working what was to become La Capella and Chris Sharma's Golpe de estado.

A little bit about how we make our ceramics and glass...
All our ceramics and glass are made in Stoke-on-Trent, otherwise known as "The Potteries" and traditional home to the ceramics industry here. We screenprint and fire in-house. People often ask how we get the designs on the mugs.... here's how:
- We screenprint the design onto waterslide transfer paper. It's like a fake tatoo!
- Cut around the design and dip it in water, the transfer will come away from the backing paper
- Carefully place it on the mug (or plate, or glass), gently smoothing it down. It helps if it's warm
- Smooth all the wrinkles out and make sure it's 'square' to the mug
- Get every bit of wrinkle, bubble or air out
- Smooth down the backstamp
- The mug is ready
- Into the kiln to be fired, this will change the colour and make it glossy and dishwasher/microwave proof
Looks really easy doesn't it?! Don't believe it for a minute, it's tricky! The ladies who do this are fast and accurate specialists!

Dig this absolutely wonderful video celebrating the Brody Learning Commons created by two JHU undergrads! The students who filmed and edited this piece of awesomeness are recipients of two paid library internships in which they are given artistic license to make a couple of flicks capturing student life in the library.
We Wunderkammerarians love the Brody Learning Commons for many reasons, one of which is that our colleagues in Special Collections have offices there and their fancy Reading Room makes a lovely guest appearance (seriously, watching this promo is like watching a library version of The Love Boat — so many snazzy guest appearances!). And we love, love, love, this video! Go Bluejays!

Government hackers try to crack HealthCare.gov
Report: Government's own 'white-hat' hackers give HealthCare.gov mixed review on security
Improved online and mobile security the focus of federal grants
Three million dollars in federal grants will go to four national mobile communications companies to figure out a way to get rid of passwords. The grants come from the Commerce Department's National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace program, or NSTIC. The goal of NSTIC is to give consumers better security options with their mobile and online transactions. Commerce hopes that funding research to get rid of passwords will eventually minimize the risk of identity theft.
CMS sets new deadline to fix two dozen HealthCare.gov cyber shortfalls
Marilyn Tavenner, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator, promised House lawmakers Thursday that the site would be better protected when open enrollment begins in two months. The recent attack on the HealthCare.gov didn't succeed in stealing any data, DHS says.

There will never be another Marilyn Monroe or Elizabeth Taylor, but Hollywood may have found a new Lee Remick in Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
Winstead and Paul make their characters feel like flesh and blood, not stereotypical Lost Weekenders. Their love is as real as their future is shaky. And that's the film's great tragedy.
The camera work is handheld and jittery, reflecting Kate's often wobbly state of mind, and the character's decidedly nonglam wardrobe, minimal makeup and charm-free home feel honest and right.
Winstead, a relative newcomer, handily carries this slender film.
It's an addiction-and-recovery movie without the usual side-effect of wallowing melodrama.
Winstead is an inarguably warm actor. She's just not doing the sort of work that transcends the movie's shortcomings.
Ponsoldt keeps up a good pace and refuses to let the material get too heavy. He focuses on the characters and their slip ups, jokes, frustrations, and all the imperfections that make up a person.
Winstead is immense in this picture, a true force of nature who embodies so many complexities and demons that make her this perpetually broken protagonist...
The only ingredient that renders it remotely unique is an Oscar-caliber performance from Mary Elizabeth Winstead as the proverbial drunk with a heart - and liver - of Johnnie Walker Gold.
Smashed is a non-judgmental snapshot of the small world surrounding this couple, and is filled with insightful moments and really great low-key performances.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead comes into her own in this lightly directed and disarmingly enjoyable film, which delivers its message without the aid of a soapbox.
Winstead is a revelation as a young married school teacher determined to overcome alcoholism in this gritty film clearly made by folks who've been there.
For what it sets out to achieve and the amount it chooses to portray, Smashed does a solid job - made all the more notable thanks to Winstead.
Despite taking a full-on approach to the issue of alcoholism, filmmaker Ponsoldt undermines his own case by telling a story about the problem itself rather than the people caught up in it.
Has an outstanding central performance from Winstead that demonstrates Kate's emotional and intellectual understanding of the complexities of alcoholism.
Smashed is a smart, sensitive and appropriately uncomfortable watch, offering an unrelentingly clear-eyed view of dependence, both emotional and substance-based.
[I]t's Winstead who is the real wonder... with an artless authenticity that is at once heartbreaking and heartening.
A film that's good on general atmosphere, totally sincere and not too sentimental.
There is an understanding of human frailty that makes the film more appealing than the subject matter might suggest.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead is the essential cog in James Ponsoldt's insightful drama.
Winstead gives a very good performance: muddled, scared, but courageous.
Wheedling and hectoring by turn, ham-dram to the hilt, full of small ideas and Big Acting, the film trails talentlessly in the wake of Days of Wine and Roses.
Largely meeting its modest goals, it's a nuanced take on patterns of dependency, and the best chance yet for this feisty young actress to prove her mettle.
Involving and occasionally powerful alcoholism drama, anchored by a stunning central performance from Mary Elizabeth Winstead and some impressive direction ...
A film that is unafraid to recognise that, for some, a life spent drunk is easier (and much less boring) than fighting a disease with no permanent cure.
Audience Reviews for Smashed
Super Reviewer
Super Reviewer
Nick Offerman's awkward flirtation is intended to provide some comic relief, but it just ends up being overlong, creepy, and inconsequential. The script is realistic and provides some riveting plot points (Kate teaching her 1st graders with drunken exuberance, then puking and perpetuating the kids' assumption that it was morning sickness; Kate waking up under a shady overpass, unsure and scared of what transpired the night before; Kate losing control of her bladder at the liquor store and then sneakily exiting with the wine she wasn't allowed to buy due to the curfew). However, my main critique of the script is that it needed less text and more subtext in the climactic fight scenes. The accusations are so on-the-nose: "You're the reason I can't be sober!" Everything is spelled out and predictable.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead (along with Gemma Arterton and Hayley Atwell) has one of those faces that I can never recognize. She looks different every time I see her. She has some shining moments of vulnerability in this role, but her drunkenness is once again, a bit on the nose. My first acting teacher said acting drunk for a role is tough because drunk people don't necessarily act drunk; they try to act like they're NOT drunk. Aaron Paul, as husband Charlie, is quite magnificent with his ice-blue gaze. Charlie is slightly douchey and overall loving, but the way he loves isn't enough for Kate anymore. Aaron Paul does well in disguising his secret hope that Kate will rejoin his bad behavior as support.

Bob and Mikey3 Reviews
Right when everything was going so well...
P.S. If I act like I'm high or something, I recently found out I made it into honor classes.
This chapter is where I tap into the "drama" genre. ;)
And I'm sorry it's so short, but I'll update soon, promise :) R+R?
Well, my friends, we're near the end of this story... But I'm still set on writing a sequel :)
Gerard P.O.V.
The next 8 months past in a blur, I can honestly say so.
I suppose it was because I was the happiest I had ever been in my life lately. Frank, Ray, Bob,
Mikey, and I had become unseperable. We hung out a lot (mostly at my house), and Frank ONLY
broke 5 pieces of furniture in those months. That's GOT to be a new record for that kid.
Speaking of Frank- nothing happened between us after our little Truth or Dare game. Did I want
something to happen to our relationship? Well... my opinion doesn't really matter, anyways.
Bob had become my partner in crime. (I feel that's enough said.)
Ray and I were always talking about some band, or some song, or pretty much music in general.
And finally, Mikey- whom mostly I'd been worrieing a lot lately. He hadn't told me what he was
about to months ago. And on top of that- he's been acting strange. He keeps "looking over his
shoulder" (metaphorically AND literally). I know something is up, but I can't figure out how to
get it out of him. He won't tell me, believe me, I've tried- and lately I've been considering
tying him up like he and Frank did to me, JUST to get the information outa him. JUST that. PFT,
not for like revenge or something. (INSERT WINK HERE)
Anyways, back to school- it was our last week. Mikey and Frank were normally begging us not to
leave, but seriously- I've paid 4 years of my life here, AT LEAST give me taste of college. And
when they weren't doing that, that were begging Bob, Ray, I to do something crazy with them,
something that would most likely get us suspended, or worse- expelled. With only 3 days to go,
At this current moment, I'm enjoying some sandwhich I'd thrown together earlier, outside the
school, underneath some tree for shade. It was getting really hot out recently, but today there
was a nice breeze that made it a little more bearable. Ray and Frank sat next to me, and Bob
and Mikey hadn't shown up yet.
"I'm afraid to go to Chemistry..." Frank said randomly.
"Why? 'Cuz you're afraid you might blow it up again?" I asked. Yes, Mikey and Frank had to
repay the damage done to the charred lab.
"Not exactly," Frank said, "I kinda... drank whatever we had made yesterday... and I'm afraid
it had some deathly chemical in it..."
"What? Why would you drink that?" I asked fratically.
"Well... I was really, REALLY thirsty."
I scoffed as Ray said, "You'll live. I ate a crayon I found on the floor in that class."
"You two are crazy," I told them, returning to my sandwhich. "I got an F in that class anyways."
"...And?" Frank pressed.
"And what?"
"Something else had to have happened. Everybody gets an F in Chemistry."
I sighed dramtically. "Fine, some dude punched me in the face."
Frank and Ray laughed at me.
"Dude where are mini-Way and Bryar?" Frank asked.
Ray added, "It's been ten minutes. This school's not that big."
A girl I regonized from my Math class came up to us. "Gerard Way?" she asked, and I
nodded. "The nurse wants to see you." She walked away.
I sighed and stood up. Frank and Ray followed suit. "You guys coming with me? We've got another
10 minutes to kill," I told them.
"Sure," they both nodded.
The nurse's office door was open. We walked in everything seemed normal-
"Mikey!" I exclaimed, and ran over to him. He was sitting in a chair, and he looked like
someone had just beaten the $hi+ out of him. He was cut in several places, his hair was a mess,
and his glasses were no where to be seen. "What happened?"
Mikey looked away from me. "Some kids from the hockey team."
"You've got to go home-"
"No!" Mikey said, facing me again. "I'm fine."
"Where's Bob?" Frank asked.
Mikey looked at us with sad eyes. "They got him too. Worse. There were too many, we were easily
"Where's he now?" Ray asked.
"The hospital."
R+R if you want Bob to live >:) Jk, I wouldn't kill off Bob. :)

Driver with gunshot wound crashes car rushing to hospital in Kirkland
A man with a gunshot wound accidentally crashed his car into a rock wall as he rushed himself to the hospital in Kirkland on Monday night.
Kirkland firefighters responded to the accident at approximately 8:50 p.m. on Monday in the 12300 block of Juanita Drive NE.
"Apparently, he was driving himself to the hospital after, he told crews, he had accidentally shot himself in the leg," said Mike Haschak, Kirkland Fire Department battalion chief, noting that the man's car struck the wall with moderate impact.
Fire crews from Kirkland, Shoreline and Redmond treated the man at the scene and Shoreline Medic Unit 65 transported him to Harborview Medical Center for further treatment.

"National Rifle Association President David Keene paid a visit to CNN on Thursday to respond to several issues including a newspaper's publication of gun permit holders' personal information, as well as the saga surrounding David Gregory and the now-infamous gun magazine he displayed on Meet the Press.
Asked if Gregory should be prosecuted, Keene said no. "I'm not a vindictive guy who wants to go after David Gregory," he said.
But there are two lessons to be drawn from the situation, Keene elaborated.
"One, Don't ask the government what's legal and what isn't legal because half the people don't know," he said. "And secondly, that's a silly felony. It's a felony in Washington, D.C., to own that magazine or to be caught with the cartridge. I really think what David Gregory did while he was inadvertently flouting the law was illustrating in a very graphic way, perhaps not intentionally, but in a graphic way just how silly some of these laws are."
When host Carol Costello clarified whether it's the NRA's position to enforce the laws that are on the book, Keene maintained that it's not necessary to go after Gregory. "I think it illustrates the craziness of some of the laws," he said."

Tired of a Mousepad On Your Desk? Use This Instead!
Being a bit of a neat freak we've begun to feel having a mousepad on our desk just adds to the perceived clutter. We long for a way to have a clean surface void of that spongy rectangle, but our mouse just won't work on our desk. Feel the same way? Here is a quick tip to de-clutter your workspace.
Obviously the easiest way to rid yourself of a mousepad is by tossing the mouse trying out another type of input device. Multi-touch trackpads are the rage and as our operating systems evolve they could very well take over the mouse for many people. From Apple's Magic Trackpad to Wacom's Bamboo Tablets, options abound for those willing to take that route. In many instances though, a mouse and therefore a mouse pad is a necessity.
Not all surfaces are conducive to using mice. Glass, rough laminates and wood coupled with the mouse's sensor can contribute to poor tracking. What's the mouse-weilding, mouse pad hating user to do? You could buy a new mouse or save some $$$ and stick it to your desk by trying contact paper!
Using contact paper is an easy fix we discovered when switching to a glass desk, replacing the traditional mouse pad. Getting our mouse to work on contact paper over glass was much easier than finding a mouse that worked on glossy surfaces. The real benefit here is that you can choose a piece to your desired size, shape and color to work with. The possibilities are endless but the concept is so simple. If you don't like the look of that mouse pad on your desk or you're tired of having to reposition, ditch it! Contact paper just made your life better!
2 Comments
Having just cleaned off my desk for the first time in weeks, I was just thinking of how to replace the mousepad, which is never in the right place at the right time. But contact paper? Isn't it too slippery? I'll probably try it before anyone answers.(Sigh)
It's actually less slippery than glass

Why Should You Think About Participating in a Study?
What to Expect
World Class Science
The Cetero Research facility in metropolitan St. Louis, Missouri specializes in research designed to obtain FDA approval of generic drugs by comparing them to name brand drugs that have already been on the market for years. We perform metabolism studies to ensure that the generic drug and the marketed drug are similarly absorbed into the blood stream. We have been dedicated to this "bioequivalence" testing for 25 years.
If you have to stay overnight, we have modern, residential-dorm style accommodations for 520 participants, with fresh linen and clean towels provided. You'll enjoy three healthy meals a day, carefully prepared to conform to the study's dietary requirements.
Eligibility for every study varies. To determine if you qualify for a particular study, a recruitment specialist will conduct a telephone pre-screening with general questions regarding your current health. Once we know more about you, we'll be able to suggest the best match between you and one of our open studies.

WEDNESDAY, Sept. 29 (HealthDay News) -- A new painkilling drug
called tanezumab appears effective in relieving knee pain from
osteoarthritis, researchers are reporting.
But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has halted a phase 3
trial of the drug after 16 patients developed worsened arthritis
and underwent joint replacements.
Lead researcher Dr. Nancy E. Lane, director of the Aging Center,
Medicine and Rheumatology at the University of California, Davis,
said those patients who ended up needing a knee replacement most
likely overworked their damaged joint because they were feeling no
"They probably accelerated the degeneration of the joint," she said. "Sometimes, pain is good in protecting you."
The study findings were published in the Sept. 30 issue of the
New England Journal of Medicine.
Tanezumab is made by Pfizer Inc., which funded the trial.
Whether the osteoarthritis portion of the phase 3 trial will resume
is up in the air. Pfizer spokesman Mackay Jimeson said the company
is still in discussions with the FDA, and no decisions about the
drug's future have been made.
For the study, Lane's team randomly assigned 450 patients with
osteoarthritis of the knee to receive either tanezumab or a
placebo. Those taking tanezumab had their pain reduced anywhere
from 45 percent to 62 percent, compared with those given a placebo,
who saw their pain reduced 22 percent, on average.
Lane said tanezumab, which is given by injection, should
probably not be used frequently. The effect of the drug can last at
least eight weeks, she added, but no studies have been done yet on
its long-term effects.
The drug works in a unique way by blocking nerve growth factor
(NGF), which is essential for normal development of the nervous
system, but is also released when there is inflammation. NGF
stimulates nerve cells and triggers pain, Lane explained.
"By inhibiting NGF, we really get a dramatic reduction in pain in patients who have pretty severe osteoarthritis," she said. "It doesn't do anything to the disease, it doesn't hurt your stomach, it doesn't change how you think or make you groggy. This is a real game-changer."
The phase 3 trial is also testing the drug in patients with
cancer pain, interstitial cystitis, chronic low back pain, and
diabetic nerve pain.
Dr. Elaine Tozman, associate professor in the division of
rheumatology and immunology at the University of Miami Miller
School of Medicine, said she doesn't think this new painkiller
would add much to the treatment of osteoarthritis.
"This is really a drug which is for a symptom of osteoarthritis, it's really for pain," she said. "As rheumatologists, most of us are looking for a drug that works on the underlying disease."
Tozman noted that patients with severe osteoarthritis of the
knee usually go on to have a joint replacement.
Some 27 million adults in the United States have osteoarthritis,
with the knee being the most affected joint, according to the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The number of people with osteoarthritis of the knee is expected
to rise as baby boomers age and as obesity among Americans
increases, Lane said.

What is the Employment Non-Discrimination Act? (ENDA)
Gautam Raghavan
This week, the Senate will vote on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, or ENDA, which would provide strong federal protections against discrimination, making it explicitly illegal to fire someone because they are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT).
In this explainer video, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney highlights the importance of ENDA – not just because it's the right thing to do, but because it's good for business and the economy.
In case you missed it, read President Obama's Op-Ed in support of ENDA.
And to learn more about the business case for ENDA, check out these resources:

NOTE: This sample 'EFT Wisdom Tip' assumes that you know the basics of EFT -- If you do not, read this introduction first: NEW TO EFT
When EFT Does Not Work... Learn About a Missing Key!
ASK THE BUTTERFLY: Sample 'EFT Wisdom Tip' #40 - I thought this EFT Wisdom Tip was a good one to share as a sample tip because it has some very helpful information for those who are thinking Maybe EFT does not work for me?
If you are tapping on issues like; weight loss, anxiety, depression, illness, disease, chronic pain, abundance/money or anything else and youre not getting the results you want then, read on!
The tip begins with a parable about a butterflys struggle and is followed by my EFT Tapping Tip which has key information for frustrated tappers!
Enjoy! Karen
P.S. If you are not an EFT Wisdom Tips' club member and would like to receive an informative EFT tip each week click here.
One day a man found a butterfly cocoon. Soon, a small opening appeared at one end. For several hours, he sat and watched the butterfly as it struggled to force its body through the tiny hole.
Then it stopped making progress. To the man, it seemed like it had gotten as far as it could.
So he decided to help. He took a pair of small scissors and snipped off the remaining cocoon. Then the butterfly with its swollen body and small, shriveled wings was able to emerge quite easily.
The man continued to watch the butterfly and he expected that, at any moment, the wings would start to expand and the body would contract.
Neither happened! In fact, for the next few days the butterfly continued to crawl around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It was not able to fly away and eventually, it died.
The man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand the natural process for the butterfly.
The struggle required to get through the tiny opening in the cocoon is nature's way of forcing the fluid from the body into the butterfly's wings. This is how it develops into a healthy adult that has the ability to fly once it becomes free from the cocoon.~ Unknown Author
KAREN'S EFT TAPPING TIP #40When using EFT with more complex issues like; anxiety, depression, on-going weight challenges, serious illness and disease, chronic pain, relationship difficulties, lack of financial abundance and other complicated problems, it can be very frustrating when change is slow, nothing happens at all or things even get worse!
In many of these cases, even tapping on the related aspects like; physical pain, stressful thoughts or emotions can be a challenge when they don't go down to '0' on the SUD's scale. Or, they get to '0' and return in a few days or even a couple of hours!
At this point, confusion and disappointment can set in when we've worked so hard with the tapping and we are not getting the results we want -- And, especially after reading or hearing about the amazing EFT 'one-minute-wonders' or instantaneous healing stories!
We might end up thinking that EFT does not work for us or that there's no hope of ever solving our problem. Unfortunately, this is when many EFT newcomers put the tapping techniques on the shelf or give up on it all together -- which is a shame!
The 'one-minute-wonder' stories are true, but they certainly do not happen all the time! Sometimes, and especially with more complex issues like the ones I mentioned above, applying EFT is a bit like the story of the butterfly.
Ask any seasoned EFT'er and they'll tell you that with some issues it's far better not to rush or force them. That, these conditions or imbalances need to evolve or shift in a more natural way. This process helps us develop our mental and emotional muscles and increases our energetic resiliency. Just like the butterfly benefited by exiting a little more slowly from its cocoon -- So much so, that it's life depended on it!
Is it possible that sometimes moving too fast and expecting immediate results, can actually delay our progress and even keep change from happening? In the case of the poor butterfly, rushing a natural process led to its death!
Could it be possible that sometimes getting the intensity of a negative emotion or limiting belief down from a 8 to a 5 is better than trying to push it down to '0'... all at once? That sometimes baby stepping our way towards our goal or desire is more optimal than being impatient, using force or will power?
It may be helpful to consider that our body-mind is highly intelligent and that it knows how to deal with the problem at hand... if we give it a chance! That our inner healer has a sense for the optimal path and best timing that can lead us towards the mental, emotional and physical well being that we desire.
That in certain situations, transformation can actually be faster and longer lasting when we rely more on our natural built-in guidance and intuition and less on our intellect -- because over thinking can foster unrealistic expectations, doubts, guilt, worries and fears!
So, maybe it's our mental chatter and the 'gerbil wheel' thoughts that halt our progress and keep us stuck? - Not our body, our situation or our problem.
Maybe we need to... think less, feel more and just tap? -- And maybe sometimes, slowing down a little *is* better? Just ask the butterfly!

Patricia Rey Mallén – International Business Times, 12/16/2013
France's President François Hollande visited Brazil last week, and he was in for an unpleasant surprise. Brazil announced on Saturday that France isn't getting the big contract that Hollande was pushing — a multibillion-dollar deal for new fighter jets.
Brazilian newspaper Folha de São Paulo reported that the French are now out of a three-way race they once seemed poised to win. The decision comes as a surprise, since France's Rafale fighter jets were former President Luiz Inácio de Lula's favorite option to replace Brazil's current fighter jet, the Mirage, also a French product. Nevertheless, since the offer was made in 2009, both governments have changed leaders and Brazil's finances have hit the skids.
France's $4 billion proposal for 36 Rafale fighter jets, made by a consortium led by Dassault Aviation SA (EPA:AM), was rejected for cost reasons. The government has not specified if it has decided on any of the other contestants, the F/A-18 Super Hornet from Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) and the Gripen made by Sweden's Saab (STO:SAAB-B).

Latest Player Updatesclose
Mike Gibson
Mon Aug 27, 2012 1:22 pm Eagles placed OG Mike Gibson on injured reserve with a hip injury, ending his season.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gibson's injury is reportedly minor, so it's possible he'll be eventually released with an injury settlement. Signed to a two-year deal in March, Gibson appeared in just three games for the Seahawks last season after playing in 14 and starting eight in 2010.
Wed Mar 14, 2012 6:51 pm Eagles signed OG Mike Gibson, formerly of the Seahawks, to a two-year contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: He reportedly signed for the veteran's minimum. It's a depth signing, as Gibson sat on the open market for most of 2011 before signing with Seattle in December. He's appeared in more than three games just once in four seasons.
Source: Eric Edholm on Twitter
Tue Dec 6, 2011 4:29 pm Seahawks re-signed OG Mike Gibson.
Fantasy Source Spin: The 2008 sixth-rounder had been out of football after staring eight games in Seattle last season. He'll provide depth on the interior with G/T Paul McQuistan likely kicking out to left tackle as Russell Okung's replacement.
Source: John Boyle on Twitter
Tue Sep 28, 2010 6:09 pm Seahawks released OG Mike Gibson.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gibson was given a chance to push LG Ben Hamilton in August, but he couldn't capitalize on the opportunity.
Tue Aug 24, 2010 10:45 pm Mike Gibson will start over Ben Hamilton at left guard in the Seahawks' third preaseason game.
Fantasy Source Spin: ESPN's Mike Sando believes Gibson "could stay there based on what we've seen of both players." Seattle's offseason signing of Hamilton was ballyhooed as a fix-it solution next to rookie LT Russell Okung, but it's been clear for a few years that Hamilton has little left. Gibson is a former Eagles practice squad player. The Seahawks' offensive line remains a big concern.
Source: ESPN.com
Sat Aug 30, 2008 7:21 pm Eagles placed G Mike Gibson (shoulder) on injured reserve, ending his season.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gibson was a sixth-round pick out of California in April.
Fri Jun 13, 2008 12:51 pm Eagles signed sixth-round G Mike Gibson to a four-year contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: The two year starter is more athletic than beefy, which is rare for Eagles linemen. Still, he has a nasty edge and was a good value in the sixth round. He has a good chance to make the team.

What Are Your Halloween Food Plans?
Halloween is this Friday! What are your food plans? Are you making homemade treats? Hosting a chili party? Making spooky edible brains? How far do you go for Halloween? Do you go all the way to gross-out territory, or do you aim for a more tasteful celebration?
Here are a few good snacks and meal ideas for Halloween. Last year we put together a whole menu for a Halloween dinner.
• A Halloween dinner - Inspiration from Martha and beyond
• Halloween pancake molds
• DIY ghost fruits
• Homemade Halloween candy bars from Chow
• Chocolate apricots - An easy Halloween dessert for the more sophisticated crowd.
• Any-kind-of-crowd-pleaser: Peanut butter popcorn
• More treats, including not martha's Creepy Crawly Cakes
• Halloween candy hierarchy - What's better - Snickers or Twix?

We have long-standing traditions in my family, namely supper baked in a pumpkin. I upped the interest a couple of years ago by baking the stuffing in individual-sized pie pumpkins and this year I'm changing up the filling to include wild rice, nuts and dried cranberries (used to be comprised of ground beef and cream of mushroom soup). Hopefully no one will freak out on me. I do a different dessert every year too ... this year it's Caramel Apple Cupcakes that a favorite blogger of mine came up with. http://justjennrecipes.com/caramel-apple-cupcakes/2008/10/22
I'm going a little overboard for the "Sweet Treats" potluck at work. I have made pumpkin cream cheese truffles, tonight I am making peanut butter cookies with peanut butter M&Ms (in Halloween colors), and Thursday I am making chocolate cupcakes with a Hershey's pumpkin spice kiss in the middle with pumpkin cream cheese frosting! Whew!
Ooh...where exactly do you work uptowngirl? As for us, it is expected to be a rainy Friday and while we'll stay home answering the door and handing out candy, we'll likely have something that fits in with the cold, rainy weather: chili or lasagna is my initial thoughts.
I've got iced cookies resting now and I'm planning on making a slew of goodies from recipes I steal from this site (among others.) I'm so excited!
It'll be in the high 70s here, or Chili would DEFINITELY be on the menu. It's the perfect season for it.
I am so halloween-fooded out... The afterschool program where I work has really been taking to a total extreme.
I'm going really easy. I'm making chocolate chip cookies with reese's cups in them. My mom used to make them for every bake sale when I was a kid. I thought it'd be a good cookie plus candy treat for Halloween for my coworkers. Not that it really needs a recipe, but I found one if anyone wants it: http://www.recipezaar.com/31311
I won't be making much of anything for Halloween since I have a terrible cold and shouldn't be cooking (for others), but I will make my favorite dessert AFTER Halloween and pretend (I'd make it for myself but that would be bad since I'd eat it all). My favorite is a jell-o recipe my mom got out of a magazine when we were kids. It's the Graveyard Gelatin Dessert- the one with crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, cream cheese and orange jell-o. This one: http://tinyurl.com/6qk38u
No cooking for me! I'm going to New York City for the weekend! However, I do plan to order some wonderful fresh preservative-free iced Halloween cookies (ghosts and pumpkins) from madCake, a good local bakery, have them tied up in a box, and take them to New York City as a hostess gift!
Chili. Every year.

Hi Goz,
There are plenty out there on the market; your question is too broad. It would seem you're a beginner photographer, and in that case a regular point and shoot camera would be most appropriate, then once you advance, go for an SLR.
LOL....Just about anything is an upgrade from a disposable.....
That said it boils down to what your into, If you know what you are doing a disposable camera can produce some fantastic shots, Maybe a masterpiece even.....
Many of the early pioneer photographers used cameras that where a lot less friendly......!
I guess its more about the photographer, Than the camera, Today so many people get hung up on " Mega Pixels " Resolution " Sharpness " Frame Rates......Oh! and my personal favourite " Image Quality " (( Quantify that if you will )) That they loose the plot altogether.....
If your question is about progression to a digital, Get yourself something like a " Canon Digital Ixus " and have a blast.....
