Kegels (vaginal exercises) strengthen the PC muscles and some surrounding muscles as well. They are great for treating vaginal pro lapse and aid in the prevention of uterine pro lapse as well.
Clinical trials have also proved that vaginal exercises are incredibly helpful in preventing pro lapse on the pelvic organs. Generally girls also suffer from urinary incontinence throughout their post pregnancy days. These sort of exercises can assist in eliminating this issue as well. These routines have been determined to be very successful in fighting physiological anxiety that ladies tend to experience after giving birth.
Having a variety of vaginal exercises to choose from, women can easily experience the benefits and also have fun during the exercising sessions. These benefits will carry on into the bedroom in the near future as well. But, you need to perform the workouts on a daily basis.
You should also know that men can also benefit from kegel exercises. One of the most widespread male complications that call for your use of Kegel workouts is the situation of finishing too soon. The kegels help fix this problem for men as well so they can control their "fireworks" so to speak.

Tuesday July 20, 2010
WELLINGTON: Andy Barron, the New Zealand investment banker who was the only amateur player to take the field at the World Cup, has retired from all football.
Midfielder Barron played the last four minutes of New Zealand's 1-1 draw with Italy, receiving international attention as an odd man out among the world's highest-paid footballers.
Barron, 30, said he had always intended to retire after the World Cup and to concentrate on his full-time banking job.
His retirement was from all levels of football, including weekly matches for the amateur Petone club on a muddy field in suburban Wellington.
Barron said he had always taken vacation to play for New Zealand and owed it to his employers to concentrate on his career. — AP

Where do we even begin with Ashley & Ryan's amazing wedding? You did see a special preview of their album yesterday, but while the beauty in the wedding speaks for itself, of course, we'd love to share just a little bit about this special couple.
Ashley and Ryan first met at the Opera Nightclub in Downtown Atlanta in 2008. They joke about who "wooed" whom, but Ryan's dance moves somehow changed both of their lives forever. Only a short 5 years later, they were married! For their engagement, and going with the theme of the "Opera", Ryan coordinated an evening in NYC with their family's seeing Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. After, they went to the Pierre Hotel in Central Park where 6 Broadway performers, including "the Phantom" started what seemed like an impromptu performance. Moments later, Ryan stood and proposed to Ashley as part of the epic performance. To watch the video and learn more about the proposal, check out their wedding website here – MeettheFrankels.com! For them, photographing their Engagement Session in New York City was a must. Do you remember these amazing images – Part 1 & Part 2?!
Now, we make it to the wedding day! The wedding was held in the Piedmont Estate and Gardens in Atlanta, Georgia, where Ashley is from. The Piedmont is a beautiful antebellum mansion located on 3 acres in the heart of Buckhead. The venue is a traditional mansion that has recently been renovated with modern furnishings and also serves as a contemporary art gallery. The ceremony was held outside, while the reception was held inside the estate. The girls held bouquets filled with white ranunculus, white garden roses, white mums, dusty miller and brunia berries. One gray toned succulent highlighted each of their bouquets. Spectacular!
Please keep reading as you scroll through images! We have a lot more to share!
Ashley and Ryan decided to do a first look on the beautifully and naturally lit front porch of the Piedmont. You can see Ryan's sister, Jamie peaking out the window! I'll never forget Ryan inhaled slowly and said, "she's behind me isn't she?" Yes, she was. And the tears came soon after. This is what Ashley shared about their first look…
"It was such a private and intimate moment between the two of us and I cherish the private time we had together before the ceremony. Since we knew our wedding day would be such a whirlwind, we felt that it was important to spend as much time together, take amazing photos, and talking about our big day. Looking back, I realize that seeing Ryan before the ceremony helped calm my nerves. We were able to enjoy being with each other without being rushed on time between the ceremony and the reception." The wedding ceremony was held outside on the grounds of the estate. Since the wedding was in November, guests enjoyed a hot cocoa station while waiting for the ceremony to begin. A string quartet performed untraditional and contemporary music selections that had meaning to Ashley and Ryan. Song choices included, "Georgia on my Mind" by Ray Charles and "All I Ask of You" from Phantom of the Opera. The bridal entrance song was "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri and the recessional selection was "Titanium" from David Guetta.
The reception décor was untraditional and had a balanced mixture of old and new; round tables with gray, linen tablecloths mixed with raw wood farm tables to create a more causal, eclectic mix. Since Ashley and Ryan's family and friends love to party, they designed the reception ballroom to be more of a lounge atmosphere. Lounge furniture surrounded the dance floor and the DJ and they passed out LED flashing foam sticks as the night progressed!
Ashley shared a few more thoughts for our current brides… "It was such an amazing night. I wish we could do it all over again, because like most people say, the day goes by way too fast. My biggest advice to future brides is to relax as much as possible leading up to the wedding. Don't get too caught up in the planning process and try to remember the sole purpose of why you are getting married in the first place. Also, don't skimp on photography and videography…they are both memories frozen in time. Ryan and I look forward to the many adventures that undoubtedly wait ahead of us and to living and raising a family in Gainesville!"

Fish oil has generally been thought to be beneficial in heart disease, at least observationally, but randomized controlled trial data has been more difficult to find. In the Alpha Omega Trial , the authors found 4,153 participants (three fourths men, avg age late 60s early 70s, all overweight w/BMI 27) who'd already had their first heart attack. Most (3,740) were consistent statin users while a minority (413) were consistent non-users (for whatever reason). All the participants were then randomized to either 400mg of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) + docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), 2g of alpha linolenic acid (another omega 3 fatty acid), or both, and followed for 3 1/2 years.
The outcome was quite interesting. In those who consistently took their statin, the addition of omega 3 fatty acids, whether fish oil or ALA or both, made no difference in the recurrence of cardiovascular events. But in those who consistently did not or could not take statins, only the combination of EPA, DHA & ALA was able to impact recurrence rates, dropping relative risk by almost 50% from an absolute rate of 18% down to 9%. The fly in the ointment? Statistically speaking, the P-value fell just short of significance at 0.051 as the confidence interval crossed over at 1.01. For now, in my post-MI patients who can't tolerate a statin, I think that I will still recommend fish oil plus plant-derived ALA.
Stay tuned for the second study on heart attack survivors . . .

The Choir of Men and Boys is the oldest such choir in the United States and the only one not affiliated with a school. It consists of 16 boys, ages 8-14, auditioned and selected from the New York metropolitan area, with diverse ethnic and economic backgrounds. The boys rehearse several times each week and not only are paid but also receive incremental scholarships through the Anthony J. Mercede Scholarship Fund, based on their years of participation. The full Choir of Men and Boys sings every Sunday morning at the 11:00 A.M. Mass. The style and sound of the choir began in the great cathedrals and collegiate choirs of England, where the uppermost musical line was written specifically for the timbre of boys' treble voices. Eight professional adult men sing the alto (countertenor), tenor and bass parts with the boys. The music they sing is from the English and European choral tradition: Bach, Byrd, Stanford, Willan, Haydn, Rorem, among others.
Tonight's concert is part of a series created by Marie Schwartz in honor of her late husband, Arnold Schwartz (1905-1979), who was born in Brooklyn and lived in New York City all of his life. Understanding that education and good health were needed in order for a young person to compete and succeed here, he gave generously to many educational and health-related institutions. Because he loved music, he extended his generosity to many musical institutions, such as the Metropolitan Opera. Mr. Schwartz was also a trustee of the New York University Medical Center. Mrs. Schwartz also made it possible for Transfiguration to commission one of the finest pipe organs recently built for a New York church. Designed and built by the C.B. Fisk Company of Gloucester, Massachusetts, the Arnold Schwartz Memorial Organ (Opus 92) was finished and dedicated in 1988. A tracker, or mechanical-action organ, it was designed largely in the 18th- century North German tonal style but with an extensive 19-century French Cavaillé-Coll type swell division. This is an instrument eminently fit to perform the organ literature of all periods, as well as presenting and accompanying traditional Anglican liturgical music.
The Church of Transfiguration is known throughout the country as The Little Church Around the Corner. It got this name in 1870, when a local actor died and his friend Joseph Jefferson went to the rector of another church to see about a funeral. Upon hearing the dead man had been an actor, the rector said that he could not possibly bury him. The astonished friend asked if there was someplace else where he could arrange for his friend's funeral. The clergyman replied, "I believe there's a little church around the corner that does that sort of thing." For one hundred and sixty years, the church has been a very visible worshipping community in an urban setting that has welcomed all classes, all races, and particularly all those marginalized by society.

LI Beach Prices Going Up This Weekend
It's only the first week of April and already it will cost you to $2 more than last year to park at Jones Beach. In addition, that rate will go up another $2 when lifeguards go on duty Memorial day weekend.
The price hike hardly seems fair, especially since less is being offered. The east bath house pool will be shut down and the west one may close, too.
At Robert Moses, there is less beach to spread out on after a series of battering Nor Easter's, making low tide the only time to enjoy Field 5. On Saturday and the foreseeable future, people will have to deal with heavy machinery moving sand around.
The whole ordeal can be blamed on the mess in Albany, as cuts at state beaches and parks are just one attempt to try and balance a massive budget short fall.

"This is part of the solution to keep the parks open, to keep the parks open really," Ron Foley, Director of New York State Parks Long Island Region, told PIX News. "When the budget was being developed we had to balance at our costs versus our revenue and if we increased our revenues a little bit we could keep more parks open and that's the plan."
There is perhaps one silver lining to the indecision in Albany: with a budget yet to be adopted, it gives parks that were slated to shut down this week, a reprieve.
That means the six parks on Long Island slated to close will stay open until a budget is adopted. However, it doesn't look like anything will save the parking fees from going up, but if you love the beach there is away around that .
At $65, the empire pass will give you access to all state parks all summer long.Copyright © 2014, Sun Sentinel

Cricket may have replaced football as the most popular game in Kerala. But two things that can shake the people from their collective amnesia in this State are Santosh Trophy and the FIFA World Cup. The football fans went into mourning when Kerala failed to win the Santosh Trophy last year.
Now the State is in grip of football fever. The World Cup has rejuvenated the interest in the game. Football stories had dominated the space in language dailies. Football has now become the popular game at playgrounds and parks.
The World Cup has changed the soccer crazy district of Malappuram beyond recognition. Superstars like Zidane, Messi, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho stare at us from huge cut-outs in the city. The northern district has a special liking for South American teams Argentina and Brazil.
The district virtually did not sleep when the two nations played for the first time in the World Cup this year.
Down south in the football hub of Valiyathura and Vettucaud, the euphoria has been high.

HOUSTON (CBS Houston) – Three local teens are facing capital murder charges after reportedly stabbing and shooting a man in front of his wife and 13-year-old stepdaughter.
Houston resident Victor Quevado was killed in a parking lot on Saturday night, KHOU-TV reports.
Detectives told the station that three suspects – Christian Alexander Lopez, 17, and two 15-year-old suspects whose names were not released due to their age – were all involved in Quevado's death, which took place while his wife and stepdaughter looked on helplessly.
The two 15-year-old suspects confessed, police say, but Lopez remained at large as of Tuesday.
The wife and stepdaughter, who were not physically injured, told authorities that the suspects also took two cell phones.
Another shooting took place near the scene just two hours later, and local authorities are trying to figure out if the two crimes are connected.

The Pleasures of Rage
One of the seven deadly sins is anger. Like all the deadly sins, it seems like a good idea at the time. And nothing nourishes anger like a target that everybody can agree is reprehensible, like a pedophile. Then we can give free rein to a full alliance between anger and pride. We can give full-throated vent to our loathing of those people over there and feel the gratifying claps on the back from My Sort, the Good, the True-hearted, the Noble, the Pure who stand tall against Them. A most rewarding feeling. Even to call such feelings into question is to invite contempt. "What? Are you suggesting They are not scum? Spare me!"
Mostly I'm suggesting that our entire culture stands in grave danger of learning afresh the lessons of Romans: "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" in this debacle. The same secular media types who are reserving their high moral dudgeon for the abusive priests and the lying bishops who shield them are typically gung-ho advocates of cloning (i.e. turning children in America's Harvestable Resource) and speak in panting terms over every other form of perversion that Clever People find a way to advocate for. It's as if the Priest Scandals have provided such people with a way to say, "See! I'm a Good Person, not like that pervert priest over there. My fanatical support of Planned Parenthood is okay as long as I balance it out with tongue-clucking at the evils of Those People Over There."
Doesn't excuse the priests or their bishops by a long shot, not least because their sins have indeed provided the self-righteous advocates of pre-natal child abuse with ample shelter for their sins. But it does put in perspective the sewage culture in which the American Church swims. A culture which is largely the creation of us layfolk–self-righteous, ardently Clinton-supporting, aborting-our-children-at-the-same-rate-as-the-non-Catholic-culture layfolk.

Finding Home

Point of Ayre
March of memorials swimming in movement, Oakland, CA
i wonder sometimes
when i see fish fly past
on thermal currents,
blue on green,
if i could find my way home
the way they seem to,
always headed
back to the water
as though
it called to them
in some secret language
that only they understand.
i seem to lack
the instinct
to find my way home
unless i write
and even then
i arrive home
by happenstance,
turning down
roads unexpected,
down gutters
with the rain
watching sticks
float by
if all sticks make their way
or just a chosen few.

before I could stop you
moistening the lips
of the lilies
forgetting my lust at your lapping
and my tears when you left.

Satsuuma, Louisiana Pastel
she walks with gnarled toes
feeling eels slither
through mud
made of fog.
there, a tiny fraction,
light's division,
vibrating prisms
on water's edge, she pauses,
the catfish eye
seeking hers
its tale of sorrow
bouyant in the sand.
fingers reach
stroking whiskers, she reads
its colors in the water
change is here
it says
as the light shifts
and her toes grow roots.

i walked alone in the night
the princess of snow
my toes finding purchase
in hummus staked by the moon.
i walked alone in the night
until the stars
crested and fell
each telling me its story
of unexplained light
as it descended
and i learned to listen
to the colors of their light
as each cried

A Discriminating Palate

Luis Ruiz Berti
Luis Ruiz Berti
the snails took the long way home that morning,
leaving their trail of slime behind them,
marking territory.
leaves glistened in the sun.
trails crisscrossed like so many overpasses,
an epicurean guide to the gourmet ghetto.
i would have thought basil too strong--
too pungent a stew
for moist snail mouths,
especially when gone to seed,
white flowers dancing on stalks in the gray wind.
but snails know delight when they taste it,
and whoever said that they lack a discriminating palate.

I get it now. Male-Female Relations and Social Conditioning
January 18, 2014 by
Vince Lin
Filed under Learn about Pickup
I get it now.
This came to me through a series of piercing the social veil, and the last call P told me about his training with J. Dick (yep real name) and I get it now.
Men are dominant, and want to control women. Women, by nature are submissive and have a deep desire to be dominated and owned. So in success with women, one of the keys is to NOT ask for permission, and not care what she thinks. Simply dominate. Don't reason, don't logically change her mind. Just subcommunicate dominance and that you are a man. You will take her and own her regardless of what she thinks, because you understand as a man that by her very nature, she wants you to own her.
Social conditioning rules prevent this from happening. First, women have equal legal rights. Lots of positives. One of the negatives is that we start treating women like men. We wanted equality, what we got was "sameness" – Zan. But we are not the same.
If every man realized the truth, there would be pillaging and rape like we had throughout history. In fact, in 3rd world countries, although women have less legal rights in some, the male-women dynamic is preserved, unlike in more Westernized nations.
I don't condone real rape, bullying or any type of abuse and unfortunately this happens. But in the game of pickup, I realized that you need do dominate her mentally. Sometimes you need to be physical and hold her down, lead her. Show her the truth of her nature as a woman and you as a man. This means not taking some excuse for an answer, and going for the close.
We are constantly reminded by social conditioning via movies, school, romantic tv shows, that we are supposed to be a gentleman and the woman needs to logically CHOOSE you. This is bullshit. Yes, you can play that game, but it is rigged. You're either rich and provider. Even then, you're not fulfilling her deepest sexual needs as a female. The only truth perhaps in pop culture lies in women's romance novels. 50 Shades of Grey. Every romance novel has some type of male character that understands this underlying M-F nature, and knows that secretly she wants him to take her and own her. This is the tension that is created and why romance novels continues to be a billion-dollar industry mostly read by women.
Understanding this concept affects ALL areas of your life. People want to be lead. People want to be dominated and told what to do. You're doing her / them a favor. They will perceive it as a favor. Other OGs or real men will not want that, and game will recognize game. But, for the majority of the population, this is true. Even the most powerful woman, on some level, wants a man strong enough to own her completely, mentally and physically.

FR 1/16/2014 Stripper Game
January 17, 2014 by
Vince Lin
Filed under Learn about Pickup
Almost pulled a stripper and her friend today.
There were many sets that went very well and banter was good, got 1-2 numbers but the crowed tonight was scarce and clicky.
I was going home on my own and I decide to hit one more bar. I run into stripper girl, and her friend. Immediately the vibe was on, so we hit it off. I played it cool and danced with them and we hung out. Stripper girl has ADD, and also emotional mood swings. She dances with me and uses her stripper moves. Interesting. Then I said, "sorry I don't have any dollar bills" and she responds badly and goes to talk to a black guy. Yes it was a controversial thing to say but I think she mood swings anyway that's how her mind works. Later on she hates him, then loves him again. Mystery mentioned the emotional seesaw of strippers in his field reports of the past, I just remained calm and eventually we walkout out, stripper, slightly fat blonde (with cute face) and me. I madeout with the blonde earlier she sort of kissed me. She liked the stripper too though so it was a threeway.
We bounced thank God to Bub's that was still open, and they goto the bathroom for a long time. I talk to 2 other girls. They come back, we hang out for a long time.
At this point I am in new territory and learning every second. It is exciting and exhilarating.
Stripper: Ok we're cool
Me: Shake on it Read more
Frame of Reference: How To Get A Hot Girl To Like You
January 16, 2014 by
Vince Lin
Filed under Learn about Pickup
There are some dumbass threads on Yahoo! Answers where clueless chodes answer the question: How Do You Get A Hot Girl To Like You? Fucking lame. Then I saw RSD's post by Matt281 and suddenly he articulated a concept I've been thinking about for a long time: Frame of Reference.
"[Girl's name], you are cute as fuck. We should probably hang out :)"
Say two different guys send the following text to a girl they recently met.
One guy is a fun, happy, unpredictable and playfully sexual dude who has his life together and goes on dates every week.
The other is depressed, angry, shy and needy, and hasn't been on a date in months.
Do you think that, these two guys, sending the exact same text, will have the same response from the girl?
Absolutely not.
In fact, guy #2 probably won't get a response. It's not the text itself is so bad, it's who it's coming from and the intent behind it.
Let's expand this to a bunch of other things.
If guy #1 gives a girl a compliment, she's flattered and excited that he might like her. If guy #2 gives the same compliment, the girl thinks he's needy and manipulative or "a creeper"
If guy #1 calls the day after, she's excited that he took the time to call. If guy #2 calls, he's needy and probably doesn't have anything else going on in his life.
See the pattern?
Credit: http://www.rsdnation.com/matt281/blog/how-get-hot-girl-you
How fucked up is that? Or rather, isn't that liberating? It is no longer your texts, but YOU. The same thing happens with online dating profiles. A guy model can say something like, "hey how's it going" and get a response. Another less attractive guy can say, "hey how's it going" and the girl thinks he's a loser and a creeper.
The power of image is really important in life. She has to BELIEVE and perceive you to be, a man of high status, of value.
Before you go on calling women sluts or superficial bitches, we also do the same thing across the board. Scientific studies have shown that people like you and me, across demographic segments view more beautiful people are perceived as smarter and kinder. And, when have we not judged girls based on their looks? The truth is, no one knows what she's thinking or what she's like. That's why I approach 9s and 10s first in a bar. I've trained myself to not feel ANY hesitation walking into a bar and talking to the HOTTEST girl there. She's just as likely to reject or like you as the next girl, so the percentages are the same. Why not get rejected or liked by a hotter girl over a less attractive one, if you don't know any of them? Read more

I arrived at 10pm to pacific beach and the scene was already happening. Tavern was good and the taco bars in between that and Garnett Ave has some cuties. I wandered to Shore Club and I saw lots of girls head in. I was right. I waited on the beach and meditated for a bit, thinking about what Angel said today. Was his view of the world right? Am I being too soft? Am I viewing a world that is unrealistic and more animalistic than we think?
After meditating at the beach I felt calm, unlike before, when my mind was cluttered. I walked into Shore Club and hung out. Some guy said "nice jacket", I said, thanks. Its nice to know that these kids are just young and not all of them are douchebags. Actually, I met some genuinely nice guys tonight, for the most part. I walk out and see Angel, when we walk in again, I was ready and hitting sets.
First set was so-so, just said hi to warm up. Another set the girl rubbed moisturizer on my hands and I said, "you're rubbing me the wrong way" (One of my soundbites from Psych's homework). She laughs and immediately her eyes glow, asks for my name. 5 seconds later her boyfriend pulls her away.
3rd Set was a beautiful girl from NY. I didn't think she was super hot at first, but later on I realized she was the hottest girl there. Beautiful, tall brunette, fashionable too. I chattered her up and her friends. She seemed friendly. I mentioned fashion, and she became more interested. Invited her to a fashion show, she's in. Girls are vain in a way. I wasn't lying either. "You have a good height, a good look. Style is not bad. But you gotta dress up though, there will be photographers and modeling people there". This is an easy in and most girls who get validation through their looks are just more into it because they want to be discovered. In any case, I end it well and I see her later and said hi.
A few other sets in between went ok, some of the girls reject harshly, ignoring you or shaking their head. You don't get that downtown. PB girls are random, the ugliest girl can be the meanest, and yet the prettiest girls are sometimes nice. Sometimes, a super hot girl is a complete bitch too. You just never know until you talk to them, so because you can't always judge a book by its cover, never take it too personally.
A beautiful girl with pink lipstick stood out. I said hi. She's with 5 guys. I just bantered. I forgot what I said, something like, "wow you're really popular, all these guys around you". She confesses, one of them is her new roommate, she just moved here last week, and is new. I understood that all these guys are orbiters and trying to fuck her. They were giving me the evil eye. I just smiled and said "what'sup" and shook their hands. None of them had any game so no one amogged me. Turns out they are from MA too, and I chatted for a bit.
My girl is super down, and new in town, and willing to meet new friends. I seeded the fashion party. "I'm so down", she says. She looks a bit tipsy so I qualify hard. "what's my name?"
Me: "Say, 'I'm Allie and im awesome" Read more

Black WillowCategories: Uncategorized
The Black Willow that fell over by Battell has been written about in Middlebury Magazine. It's a great article for a lost friend. For pictures of the tree, as well as the first time I wrote about it, check out Art Around Campus. The article that was quoted was My Brief Career as an Art Critic. Then, to end the saga, the replacement tree is written about in Mobile Trees. Enjoy!

Curious what landscaping will be at the newly announced Plaza? Will we have a naming competition for the newly created green space, perhaps we could name it for the dearly departed Black Willow.
Tim, Tim, Tim,
This is no DYI "patio project" This is an honest to goodness Plaza, with lighting & seating and landscaping. Maybe we could get some alums to donate statuary or fountains.
We could go with bird houses and bat houses for the eco-green freindly side of life. Maybe even some corn cob squirrel feeders. If we do go with wild life lets not forget that butterfly freindly plantings and a bee hive could go along way in pollenation of the campus.
If were gonna do it may as well do it right.

TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Tuesday updates; Battery St. Tunnel reopens after crash closureNovember 25, 2014 at 6:35 am | In West Seattle news, West Seattle traffic alerts | 4 Comments
(WS high/low bridges and Highway 99 views; more cams on the WSB Traffic page)
6:35 AM: We start with a problem affecting Northbound 99 – a crash has closed the northbound side of the Battery Street Tunnel.
6:55 AM: Still closed, no ETA announced for reopening. Seattle Fire was not dispatched to the crash, which indicates no one was hurt. Here's the traffic cam that looks southward at the northbound traffic from just before the closure point:
7:08 AM: Per scanner, the tunnel is clear and about to be reopened. A stalled car nearby, though, might still complicate matters for a bit.
7:12 AM: Officially reopened, per SDOT.
7:33 AM: Avalon is "crawling," reports WS Since 1979 in comments, just before the eastward turn to Spokane/bridge ramp.

Heading into the heart of the commute … the SFD response to a crash on northbound I-5 at Holgate has just closed out, but there'll be residual backup.
LOOKING AHEAD: For the extended holiday weekend – transit notes:
*Metro will be on a Sunday schedule this Thursday (Thanksgiving Day) and a "reduced weekday/no UW" schedule on Friday.
*The Water Taxi does NOT run on Thursday *or* Friday.
*Washington State Ferries' Fauntleroy-Vashon-Southworth run will keep a normal schedule.
*Sound Transit's express bus serving our area (560) will be on a Sunday schedule for Thanksgiving Day, normal schedule for Friday.

(WS high/low bridges and Highway 99 views; more cams on the WSB Traffic page)
So far this morning, the rain is the biggest factor affecting everyone heading out for the day:
If you're just waking up, we've got wet roads and some slow commutes. Give yourself extra time if you can and be safe out there!
— WSDOT Traffic (@wsdot_traffic) November 21, 2014
WEEKEND NOTES: Here's the citywide weekend advisory from SDOT.
8:08 AM: As you can see on the top left camera, there's a stalled vehicle on the ramp – Justina sent first word via Twitter, that it's up the eastbound ramp "from Luna Park."
8:22 AM: Camera shows police have now arrived behind the stalled SUV.
Update: Driver hits pedestrian at Delridge/Brandon; police say victim did not surviveNovember 20, 2014 at 4:36 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle traffic alerts | 65 Comments
(WSB photo: Vehicle involved in collision, per police)
4:36 PM: Thanks to everybody who has messaged us about an emergency response at Delridge/Brandon – we're working to find out more; avoid the area for now.
4:39 PM: This is reported to be a case of a vehicle hitting a pedestrian – a ~40-year-old man, and medics are doing CPR on him right now. Delridge will be closed for hours – the Traffic Collision Investigation Squad is on the way to investigate, as they do with all crashes that result in serious injuries or worse. Metro Route 120 is being rerouted, according to a text alert – use stops north of Brandon or south of Juneau. The victim is being taken to Harborview, per SPD.
5:01 PM: We're at Delridge/Brandon, which is where southbound traffic is being detoured west (and where northbound traffic is being detoured to, coming from south of here). Congested, to say the least, so if you can delay your return home, or find a very alternative way to get around – do it.
(Added: Photo by Alex)
5:20 PM: Police tell us at the scene that they've been told the pedestrian did not survive.
6:22 PM: According to a tweet from police, Delridge has reopened.
11:01 PM: No further official information tonight about the victim or the crash circumstances; we'll be following up tomorrow.
FRIDAY NOTE: We expect to write a separate followup later today, but in the meantime, in case you don't read the comment section: A DESC spokesperson confirms to WSB that the victim was a Cottage Grove Commons resident. Police have yet to release further information about the crash; a commenter who identifies herself as the victim's sister says he was in the crosswalk when hit.
FRIDAY AFTERNOON NOTE: Police have published a short update on SPD Blotter. We noted it earlier in comments but also want to note here, since our full update is still in the works – the two new pieces of information are that the victim was 52 years old, and that he was crossing at the intersection when hit.

(WS high/low bridges and Highway 99 views; more cams on the WSB Traffic page)
7:17 AM: Only thing to note so far in the commute, the lane closures on 99 north of downtown, one lane closed in both directions for emergency sewer repairs, scheduled to continue until tomorrow. And – wet roads after overnight rain.
7:39 AM: From comments – eastbound bridge backup but no obvious cause so far. (We've checked all the sources and no word at this point of crash, stall, etc.)

(WS high/low bridges and Highway 99 views; more cams on the WSB Traffic page)
6:59 AM: Again today, the early commute's proceeding without problems.
7:57 AM: If you happen to be heading *back* this way on SOUTHBOUND 99 from north of downtown, that's a mess for two reasons, a lane closure near Mercer and a car fire at Aurora/59th.
8:15 AM: Update, as pointed out in comments – the lane closure near Mercer is actually one lane in each direction on 99 at that point. It's for an emergency sewer repair. Here's the advisory published by Seattle Public Utilities – round-the-clock from yesterday morning through Friday.
8:49 AM: A bit of backup at northbound I-5 from the bridge because of a crash – the vehicle(s) involved have been moved to the shoulder/gore point.
10:14 AM: Texter reports a "crash/disabled vehicle on eastbound West Seattle Bridge right before gore point" and says traffic's backing up.
Traffic-alert update: Northbound Alaskan Way Viaduct open again after closure for cleanupNovember 18, 2014 at 9:31 pm | In Alaskan Way Viaduct, West Seattle news, West Seattle traffic alerts | 1 Comment
9:31 PM: This might not last too long but in case you got stuck in the backup or have seen it – a crash on the northbound Alaskan Way Viaduct is requiring a debris cleanup, and traffic is temporarily stopped because of it (live cam here). That includes police blocking the ramp to northbound 99 from the West Seattle Bridge. So if you have to head toward downtown – take note.
9:41 PM: Just got info from Seattle Police via Twitter:
The viaduct is closed NB between WSB and Seneca St due to collision. Road is estimated to be closed for an hour.
— Seattle Police Dept. (@SeattlePD) November 19, 2014
We're adding the live camera as an image atop this report, so you can see firsthand when it clears.
10 PM: Per scanner, police were trying to figure out how to get cars off 99. In the meantime, they also say a street sweeper will arrive in 10 minutes or so.
10:45 PM: Now open again.

7:07 AM: So far, nothing out of the ordinary on the routes through/from West Seattle as the sun rises on our Tuesday.
7:39 AM: Even around the rest of the region (we monitor the regional traffic reports as well as local emergency-service logs, etc.), nothing much so far.
7:56 AM: If you missed the big bright sunrise about an hour ago, here's Brian's view from High Point:

Aside from some early delays on the Fauntleroy-Vashon-Southworth ferry route, traffic and transit have been more-or-less normal so far in our area this morning.
West Seattle traffic-alert update: High-bridge crash clearedNovember 14, 2014 at 10:09 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle traffic alerts | 1 Comment
10:09 PM: If you have to head eastbound sometime soon, you might consider the low bridge – there's a multiple-car crash on the high bridge. No injuries, though, according to what we've heard via the scanner, so only one fire truck is staying on the call (along with police).
10:39 PM: Drove by about 10 minutes ago. It's right at the top of the bridge. About half a dozen SPD cars, mostly for visibility/safety so far as we could see, as the scene wasn't fully visible from a distance. Inside lanes. Tow truck summoned.
11:11 PM: Scene was completely clear when we were on the high bridge headed the other way at the top of the hour.

(WS high/low bridges and Highway 99 views; more cams on the WSB Traffic page)
6:37 AM: Just got a call reporting a stalled vehicle on the eastbound bridge. Checking for more info.
6:57 AM: Not seeing anything more on that. Overall, the regional picture has been looking pretty good. Regional note for the weekend: Highway 520 bridge will be closed, tonight through Monday morning.
7:28 AM: From the scanner – dispatchers are sending police to check out a reported "3-car blocking" incident on the eastbound bridge,
west of 99. The SDOT camera that would normally point that way is still out of service, and sun glare dominates the other one, but if you happen to see it from a bus or another *passenger* situation, updates appreciated. ***Update*** – closer to the 4th Avenue exit.
7:36 AM: Emergency personnel arriving on scene. Tweeted by SDOT:
On the Spokane St Viaduct EB, just west of 4th Ave S there is a collision blocking the left lane. Expect delays. pic.twitter.com/iUL3jnMvGh
— seattledot (@seattledot) November 14, 2014
7:42 AM: SDOT says the two left lanes are blocked there. A texter who just went through the area confirms it's 3 vehicles.
7:51 AM: As SDOT puts it on Twitter, the crash scene has "consolidated." Now blocking 1 lane between 1st and 4th Ave. exits. Meantime, police are investigating a car theft in High Point – the car reportedly was left running to warm up. Every year, police warn against doing that. (P.S. While car theft is reported to be up in the city, most recent WS-specific update showed a year-to-year drop. But any theft is too many.)
8:25 AM: Scanner: Police just called for a city crew to clean up a fluid spill at the crash scene.
8:42 AM: SDOT confirms the scene is clear and all lanes are open.
9:36 AM: Thanks to Tom for the photo of what's backing up the northbound Alaskan Way Viaduct now:

(WS high/low bridges and Highway 99 views; more cams on the WSB Traffic page)
Off to a better start this morning – nothing of note in our area so far but the chilly temp. Other notes:
WEST SEATTLE TRANSPORTATION COALITION: Bridges and buses were a big part of the discussion Tuesday night, and by the time we finished writing about it Wednesday night, we had yesterday morning's woes to address, too. Here's the story.
WEST OF THE LOW BRIDGE … Don Brubeck of West Seattle Bike Connections caught this scene on Wednesday:
He wrote, "BNSF was replacing the train crossing signal at Chelan/West Marginal/Spokane/Delridge … on the little safety island by the Chelan Cafe. Second time this year that someone has driven into it."
7:39 AM: If you're headed for northbound I-5, there's a bit of trouble just north of the West Seattle Bridge, blocking the right-center lane before I-90, per WSDOT.
8:48 AM: That cleared fairly fast, and no added trouble's been reported in our vicinity (or the main outbound routes) since. The low bridge is now closed for vessel traffic, though, per @sdotbridges.
TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Post-holiday Wednesday updatesNovember 12, 2014 at 6:49 am | In West Seattle news, West Seattle traffic alerts | 65 Comments
(WS high/low bridges and Highway 99 views; more cams on the WSB Traffic page)
6:49 AM: There's a crash at the crest of the eastbound high bridge – thanks to those who messaged us about it. SFD cleared it fairly quickly (no injuries, apparently), but the top-left camera shot above indicates it's blocking the left lane right now, and that police are still on the scene.
7:06 AM: Discussion monitored via scanner suggests police are having trouble finding a tow truck that can respond any sooner than an hour or two. They're still trying. (The topic of routinely stationing tow trucks near the bridge – as was done for a while years ago – had just come up at last night's West Seattle Transportation Coalition meeting; our story on that and other WSTC topics is in the works.)
7:33 AM: Lane still blocked, still awaiting tow truck (we haven't heard anything more on an ETA – the crash itself happened around 6:20 am). And now SDOT warns via Twitter that the "low bridge" will be closing to vehicles in a few minutes. (Also a topic last night, with Councilmember Tom Rasmussen, who has led previous unsuccessful efforts to get the Coast Guard to exempt the bridge from rush-hour openings, saying he agrees it's time to revisit the situation.) If you haven't seen the regional news, many areas – but NOT the city – are dealing with the aftermath of an overnight windstorm, especially SE King County, which is tying up many resources.
It's the West Seattle nightmare scenario – crash blocking part of high bridge while low bridge opens for vessel pic.twitter.com/Z5uqRcvozi
— West Seattle Blog (@westseattleblog) November 12, 2014
(Traffic-cam images we grabbed/tweeted at 7:40 am during high-bridge problem and low-bridge vessel opening)
7:48 AM: Vehicles are moving across the low bridge again.
8:01 AM: Hard to tell if any progress is being made, because the only working camera on the high rise is impeded by sun glare (as you can see at top left). But there's now a problem BEFORE the bridge – outbound C Line bus has a medical emergency at Avalon/Charlestown in the Luna Park business district; everyone's been taken off the bus, and we're told, some are getting onto another.
8:08 AM: The crash scene is finally clear. Backups of course will last a while.
8:29 AM: New problem, per Jessica on Twitter: Right before the I-5 ramps, at the eastbound edge of the bridge, a "fender-bender" just happened. She says, "People (are) getting out of their cars; likely to back up."
8:40 AM: And back on the peninsula, Sage notes that Delridge is backed up all the way to Brandon. Meantime, people headed for the 1st Avenue South Bridge should take note, WSDOT has tweeted "On SR 509 northbound just north of S Cloverdale St, there is a collision blocking the right center lane."
9:12 AM: Surface problem not far away – East Marginal/1st, from the scanner, some debris on the road that need to be cleaned up, and part of the intersection is being blocked off until that happens.

As we start the morning, here's what might affect how you get around on this Veterans Day:
*Metro is on a reduced-weekday/no-UW schedule
*No Water Taxi service on either route
*Sound Transit: Regular schedule
*Washington State Ferries: Regular schedule
*Schools are closed today (as are other government-run facilities including libraries)

3:48 PM: SDOT says the low bridge is closed right now because of "police activity."
3:52 PM: And it's now open again.
4:04 PM: According to Southwest Precinct commander Capt. Steve Wilske, the incident involved someone threatening suicide. He says, "The officers successfully talked him down." (Every time we mention suicide, we also want to be sure you know about the 24/7 resource in our area, the Crisis Clinic hotline – 206-461-3222.)

So far, a relatively average commute here and regionally, according to all the sources we've checked. (Two of the cameras we regularly show are down, by the way.)
VETERANS DAY TOMORROW: Tuesday's holiday means, among other things, no school and some transit changes, including "reduced weekday" service for Metro and no Water Taxi service.
SPEAKING OF THE WATER TAXI … its first-ever "strategic plan" is out. Eastside service? New West Seattle terminal? Tax increase? See what it says.
SOUNDERS TONIGHT: We should mention that Sounders FC plays Dallas at C Link, 7:30 tonight,

The cameras are back! SDOT fixed the ones whose problems made it tough to monitor yesterday's multi-problem morning commute. We've also added the 11th/Spokane view, since at least as of first thing this am, it's still pointing to the low bridge. Now, on with notes and previews, while we can:
BATTERY STREET TUNNEL CLOSURE: One more reminder – the BSTunnel will close overnight tomorrow night for fire-system testing – original announcement here.
CITYWIDE WEEKEND TRAFFIC ALERT: From Oprah (tonight/tomorrow) to the Seahawks (Sunday) – useful info here.
REROUTE RAPIDRIDE IN THE JUNCTION? Here's our report on the first official open-to-the-public presentation, during Wednesday night's Southwest District Council meeting.
10:18 AM: This morning's rollover scene is cleared and Admiral Way has just reopened between 59th and 61st.

(WS bridge and Highway 99 views; more cams on the WSB Traffic page)
Good morning!
No road trouble to report so far. Transportation-news notes:
FAUNTLEROY TRAFFIC MEETING TONIGHT: 7 pm at The Hall at Fauntleroy (9131 California SW), city leaders will meet with community members about traffic/transportation challenges, as first announced last month. All welcome.
TRANSIT VOTE UPDATE: After two more vote counts, Transportation Benefit District Prop. 1 is at 60 percent "yes." Here's our report on the Wednesday morning media briefing about what was called the "framework" of a city-county agreement on where the money will go for starters.
7:15 AM: Scratch the "no trouble." Just got a text "wreck on the bridge." It's just before 99, blocking an eastbound lane. It was not listed on the 911 log, which at least means "no injuries."
7:32 AM: The regular bridge camera has been down for two days, so we can't see the crash zone, but commenters say it doesn't look likely to clear soon. Meantime, the weather alert for today upgraded overnight to a "wind advisory," noon-6 pm.
7:40 AM: The rain is intensifying. And there's a new crash reported on the eastbound bridge at 99, possibly 4 vehicles, per scanner.
7:45 AM: From SDOT via Twitter:
The Collision EB on the W Seattle Br is now blocking the 3 left lanes. Expect long delays and USE ALTERNATE ROUTES. pic.twitter.com/yxsqTqyaO4
— seattledot (@seattledot) November 6, 2014
Metro has even sent an advisory warning of delays.
7:59 AM: The backup is apparently leading people to drive in the bus lane at 35th/Alaska – heard via scanner, a call for any available enforcement help, so buses can get through.
8:20 AM: The low bridge is open for marine traffic and SDOT says it'll be a "long" opening. (See the comment section for some background.)
8:36 AM: A stall parallel with Nucor on the bridge, Brian reports; "Wsea" in comments says the Water Taxi is packed and also running slower because of mechanical trouble.
8:45 AM: Lisa via Twitter confirms what sounded on the scanner like a second stall, in the Delridge onramp vicinity. On the "good news" side, we're seeing some blue sky to the west, so the weather may be calming (until the afternoon "wind advisory").
9:18 AM: Tow truck has arrived for at least one stalled vehicle, per scanner. Traffic will be temporarily stopped in all lanes so it can get the job done.
9:44 AM: Lost count of the stalls but one has just been picked up by AAA (WSB sponsor), per what we heard on the scanner, while another one is still blocking a lane. Meantime, we just discovered the 11th/Spokane camera is currently turned toward the "low bridge":
(That is subject to change at any time – SDOT controls it.)
9:54 AM: Speaking of SDOT, they have captured a view of the latest stall:
I spoke too soon: a 3rd Stall on the W Seattle Bridge EB – this time in the left lane after Delridge. pic.twitter.com/Rs492bRUFx
— seattledot (@seattledot) November 6, 2014
9:58 AM: Live camera (see top of the story) suggests the stall has now cleared.

Another nothing-out-of-the-ordinary traffic morning for our area, so far. Looking ahead:
TRANSIT FUNDING PASSES – WHAT NEXT? At 11:30 this morning downtown, city and county leaders will meet the media to talk about the passage of the transit-funding measure on yesterday's Seattle ballot. (It was ahead 59%-41% after the first and only election-night ballot count; next round of results this afternoon.)
RELOCATE RAPIDRIDE IN THE JUNCTION? Is the SDOT proposal to move RapidRide onto California SW in the heart of The Junction, first reported here in August, moving forward? An SDOT rep is scheduled to discuss it at tonight's Southwest District Council meeting, 6:30 pm at the Senior Center of West Seattle (Oregon/California).
FAUNTLEROY MEETING TOMORROW: 7 pm tomorrow (Thursday) at The Hall at Fauntleroy (9131 California SW), city leaders including SDOT director Scott Kubly will meet with community members about traffic/transportation challenges from speeding to sidewalks and beyond, as first announced last month. All welcome.
Back to today's getting-around watch …
7:52 AM: Low bridge is open for marine traffic. No advance-warning system yet but SDOT does continue to tweet bridge "openings" at @sdotbridges. (Added: If you're keeping score, according to the tweets, the closure lasted about 11 minutes.)

Kevin tweeted that photo of a stalled school bus. Haven't heard how conditions are now, but thought we'd mention this in case you got caught in it and never saw what was happening. Meantime, also via Twitter, we're hearing traffic is steady headed to the West Seattle Stadium ballot dropoff (35th just south of Avalon) – you have until 8 pm to get your ballot (no stamps required) dropped off there.
BATTERY STREET TUNNEL CLOSURE NEXT WEEKEND: Just announced by SDOT:
The Seattle Department of Transportation will close the Battery Street Tunnel (SR 99) to both directions of traffic from 9 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8 until 8 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 9. During the closure, SDOT crews will test the fire suppression system.
Northbound traffic on the Alaskan Way Viaduct (SR 99) will be routed off the viaduct at Western Avenue, then directed to Broad Street, then to Second Avenue, and on to Battery Street to return to northbound Aurora Avenue North (SR 99).
Southbound traffic on Aurora Avenue North (SR 99) will be detoured from Aurora Avenue at Denny Way, then directed to Wall Street and then to Elliott Avenue to return to southbound Alaskan Way Viaduct (SR 99).

6:47 AM: It's the first Monday in November and the first Monday since the end of Daylight Saving Time, so we have a glimmer of light here before 7 am, for now. No problems so far on the routes through/from West Seattle. Dry weather right now, but rain is expected to return later today.
8:10 AM: First problem reported this morning – From a bus, Joe reports, "West Seattle Bridge to SR99 crossover is bad. Stalled car just past the gore on 1st Ave lane side."
8:28 AM: The rain has arrived, at least where we are (east of Lincoln Park).
West Seattle traffic-alert update: Crash closes Sylvan Way for 7+ hoursNovember 1, 2014 at 12:33 pm | In High Point, West Seattle news, West Seattle traffic alerts | 24 Comments
(Thanks to @hommesea for tweeting that photo)
12:33 PM: Thanks to everybody who texted about this. A driver hit a utility pole on Sylvan Way just east of High Point, and the eastbound side of the road is closed, so if you're trying to get from High Point to Delridge, you'll have to go another way. The westbound (uphill) side is open. Police tell us nobody was hurt, but Seattle City Light is headed out to figure out if the pole has to be replaced.
P.S. SCL says this has left two customers without power.
1:31 PM UPDATE: In comments, Terri says it's now closed both ways.
5:40 PM: Still closed at last report and Metro has been rerouting 128. We went by around half an hour ago – the closure is far from the actual crash scene so no way to tell what kind of progress they're making.
8:30 PM: As Egan reported about 20 minutes ago in comments, it's now open again. Thanks to everyone for the updates.

Nothing scary about this morning's commute so far. Rainy, but that's nothing new lately. Remember that trick-or-treaters will be on the street this afternoon/evening – business-district events are 3-6 pm in The Admiral District, 4-7 pm in White Center, 5-7 pm at Westwood Village, and that's just some of what's happening – see our West Seattle Halloween Guide here.
REMINDER – 'FALL BACK' EARLY SUNDAY: Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 am Sunday, which means an hour of "extra" sleep tomorrow night for most.
West Seattle traffic alert: Crash at 8th and RoxburyOctober 30, 2014 at 3:55 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle traffic alerts, WS breaking news | 2 Comments
3:55 PM: Avoid 8th/Roxbury for a while if you're heading out – a crash is blocking at least part of the intersection. No word yet on injuries or other circumstances; we're en route to check.
4:06 PM: Won't be blocked for too long, per scanner – tow trucks have been called. Northbound Metro on 8th is affected for a bit, though.
4:30 PM: The tow trucks were there when our crew arrived a short time ago. One lane on Roxbury was blocked eastbound, and 8th was blocked pending removal of the cars. No injuries, we're told.

Good morning! Final Thursday of the month – here we go. Notes for starters:
TUNNEL MACHINE RESCUE DIG MIGHT RESUME SOON: One day after the state announced the start of the archaeological examination of shells found in the tunnel-machine-rescue pit, the Seattle Times (WSB partner) has an update – they probably are related to settlers, not natives.
'FALL BACK' EARLY SUNDAY: This is the weekend that Daylight Saving Time ends – Sunday morning at 2 am, "fall back" to 1 am.
West Seattle traffic-alert update: Fauntleroy/Oregon light fixedOctober 29, 2014 at 10:50 am | In Triangle, West Seattle news, West Seattle traffic alerts | 10 Comments
10:50 AM: Heard this on the scanner and just checked it out. The signals at Fauntleroy/Oregon are out – a truck is believed to have taken out part of the equipment. People are zipping through the light rather than treating it as an all-ways stop as they should be. No sign of a repair crew yet.
11:37 AM: Just added two photos, including the pole that was knocked down on the north side of Fauntleroy. If you're in the area, please let us know (206-293-6302 text/voice or firstname.lastname@example.com) if you see a repair crew; we'll otherwise be checking back in an hour or so.
3 PM UPDATE: We went by within the past hour; the light's back on and other repairs were being completed:
