JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Chad Henne threw two touchdown passes, sparking the NFL's worst offense for the second consecutive week, and the Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Tennessee Titans 24-19 Sunday. The Jaguars (2-9) snapped a seven-game losing streak and were competitive at home for the first time this season. Henne was the key. Making his first start in more than 13 months, Henne found Cecil Shorts III on a 59-yard touchdown play in the third quarter and hooked up with rookie Justin Blackmon for a 7-yard score in the fourth. The Titans (4-7) cut the lead to 21-19 on Jake Locker's 6-yard pass to Kenny Britt with 4:52 remaining and had the ball with a chance to take the lead. But Russell Allen tipped Locker's pass over the middle, and Dwight Lowery -- back on the field after a five-week absence -- had his first interception of the season.

Andaz West Hollywood
8401 Sunset Boulevard, West Hollywood, CA, USA
Neighborhood: West Hollywood
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
The old "Riot Hyatt" on Sunset, site of countless acts of rock-star debauchery and destruction, is now just about unrecognizable. Mötley Crüe's loss, however, is your gain — it's been reborn as the Andaz West Hollywood, the old balconies, venue of many an aerial TV toss, sealed off with full-length windows to make more space for the swanky View Rooms. Hyatt's Andaz hotels are well tailored to their locations, and the Andaz West Hollywood perfectly sums up today's Sunset Boulevard, which has cleaned itself up quite a lot since the Seventies and Eighties heyday of the Strip's hard rock scene.
In the hotel's case, actually, cleaned up is an understatement. The new interiors are sleek, though still sunny, with plenty of white space and crisp modern furnishings. It's a slightly spare style, which is probably more user-friendly for working guests, and gives the odd misguided rocker less furniture to trash.
As for the nuts and bolts of the place, it's essentially a slightly hipper, marginally less plush version of the Hyatt's luxury brands. There's a rooftop swimming pool and sun deck with a stunning view, a 24-hour gym, a swanky lobby lounge, and a restaurant, Riot House, serving California cuisine made from locally sourced ingredients. And perhaps best of all, the riots these days are few and far between.
How to get there:
Andaz West Hollywood is approximately a 30-minute drive from Los Angeles International Airport, but the trip can take up to an hour in traffic. Valet parking is available for $33 USD per night.
- Complimentary upgrade upon hotel check-in, based upon availability
- Guaranteed 3pm late check-out

This application claims priority of U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/355,850, filed on Feb. 12, 2002 and entitled "Method of Playing a Keno Game". The entire content of said provisional application is incorporated herein by reference.
The invention is a method and a system for playing a game lying between a common-draw live game and an instant game. Furthermore, such a method and system may take advantage of the down time reserved to the sale of tickets in a live game.
Keno, state lotteries and other kinds of live games are well known and very popular. Players purchase tickets during a purchase period to participate in the game. The tickets identify a number, numbers or symbols. A scheduled draw is completed that allows players to compare the numbers or symbols on their tickets to the draw result; which may result in a prize or award being won.
Instant games are also well known. In practice, players purchase tickets containing concealed information. The tickets are manufactured with the game outcome predetermined and identified on the tickets. Once a ticket is bought, players can reveal its information and determine its value. When tickets bear winning information, players can redeem tickets for prizes. Instant games are played either in paper or electronic versions.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,265,880 to Maksymek describes a game using a draw of 48 to 55 bingo balls prior to the sale of bingo cards having concealed numbers. The draw information is known to players at the time of purchasing the cards. Once the draw is completed, players uncover the bingo numbers to compare them to the draw to determine the occurrence of a "cover-all" or "black out". If the comparison between a player's card and the draw results in a "cover all", the player wins the prize. A new draw is done when a predetermined time has elapsed, regardless of the occurrence of a cover-all.
One object of the invention is to benefit from the "downtime" occurring between two draws in a game having a regular or predetermined draw schedule to sell concealed electronic tickets that can be compared to a draw to evaluate prizes. The "downtime" may be scheduled by an external-game draw schedule, by prescheduled draws applied exclusively to the actual game, or by non-scheduled draws applied exclusively to the actual game and wherein a new draw is triggered by the occurrence of a particular event.
An object of the invention is to provide a game wherein the outcome of a game depends on a result generated for and shared by a plurality of players, wherein the game has the advantage of being played as an instant game independently of the fact that a game lasts for a significant period.
Another object of the invention is to take advantage of the confidence created by a regulated or closely monitored game to provide a new game offering the desired level of confidence to players.
Another object of the invention is to create an increased level of confidence via the generation of concealed electronic cards before, and independently of, the draw used to determine play outcomes.
Another object of the invention is to provide system and gaming apparatuses that are suitable for the playing of such game.
Another object of the invention is to provide a system providing monitoring and communication between the different means of the system.
Another object of the invention is to provide the requisite system for good monitoring and auditing of the playing of such game.
Still, one secondary object of the invention is to allow players to have a variety of play options when possible; such as the ones available in a live game or electronic game of the same kind. For instance, in a keno game, players could choose to purchase cards containing from three to ten concealed numbers. The value of the potential prizes would vary accordingly.
Another object of the invention is to provide a system that is not prejudicial to the main live game when it depends from such live game. Rather, the system may profit of the downtime between draws without influencing live-game ticket sales.
According to these objects, the invention consists in a method and particularly a system for the play of an instant game based on the outcome of a game that is determined before the play of the instant game. The game is processed via the sale of concealed tickets bearing game indicia; wherein determination of the outcome depends on revealing ticket information.
The method for the play of such an instant game includes the following steps:
The typical system for the play of such a game may be composed of a game server, a plurality of gaming apparatuses and a network maintaining communication between the apparatuses and the game server. Within that configuration, the game server maintains central information and distributes information upon demand from apparatuses. On the other hand, the apparatuses allow the play of the game.
For a disclosure purpose, the invention is hereby illustrated via two distinctive applications: a system depending on an external scheduled live-game wherein the concealed electronic tickets are randomly generated upon request; and a system with self-managed draw schedule wherein a population of tickets are already present on the game server and consumed upon request. The latter system has the advantage of offering a monitoring of distributed tickets with a method of preventing a ticket to be distributed twice during a single game.
Nevertheless, the environment of play and the form of the concealed ticket used for that play are not limited to the above-described systems; paper or electronic ticket formats may be used, the play environment may be a raw environment requiring almost only human resources or even an electronic environment wherein almost no human resources are required. Even the type of live game does not limit the invention; the game providing draw results may vary from a self-managed draw system, to a local keno game, and even to a state or national lottery game.
The invention also provides a computer program product for the play of an instant game wherein play evaluation depends on comparison between instant-game ticket information and draw information, the draw information being common to a plurality of instant-game tickets, the program product including program instructions for registering draw information in a draw storage medium, providing instant-game ticket information upon request, providing a Graphical User Interface (GUI) providing requisite environment for players' inputs, outputs, and a game representation comprising ticket information and draw information, evaluating instant-game ticket value via comparison of instant-game ticket information to draw information in order to resolve ticket value, wherein a winning instant-game ticket results in one of a plurality of ticket values, awarding instant-game ticket value; and switching to a new game upon occurrence of an end-game criterion.
These and other aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood in light of the following detailed description of preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
As stated, the invention consists in a system and method for the play of a game related to an instant game but depending on an outcome of a live game. For explanation purposes, the first embodiment uses a live keno game played in a casino.
Keno games are usually played via buying tickets. Players select from three (3) to ten (10) numbers on a keno ticket bearing eighty (80) numbers. Players register their keno ticket at a register counter against a fixed fee. At a scheduled time, a draw of twenty (20) numbers is completed. Players compare their numbers to the draw. When the quantity of matches between the player's numbers and the draw corresponds to a winning criterion, the player redeems his ticket for his prize.
The invention, to profit of the time between two draws (wherein players usually buy at most a few tickets), uses electronic concealed tickets sold on electronic gaming apparatuses. When receiving one ticket, a player reveals the concealed information, compares the ticket information to the last draw, and may redeem the ticket based on a winning comparison.
A short time before a scheduled draw, the ticket sale ends to prevent confusion regarding the ticket/draw combination. In addition, draw (or game) identification is provided on the tickets to prevent the redemption of a wrong ticket/draw combination.
The preferred environment for the play of such game is via electronic gaming apparatuses. These apparatuses are maintained in communication by a network with a game server and live keno system.
Players insert credits in the apparatus and request 74 concealed electronic tickets. Upon request, the game server generates tickets and transmits 76 them to the requesting apparatus. The apparatus displays the ticket, reveals ticket information and compares ticket information to the draw information 78. When a winning comparison occurs, the player is awarded a prize 80. Such game and process issue an instant-like game.
A short time before a scheduled draw, the game server sends an end-distribution signal 82 to gaming apparatuses. In response, the apparatuses stop providing tickets and switches into an idle mode. During this time, the game server waits for a new draw information, registers the draw information 70 upon reception, and sends the new draw information and a start-distribution signal 72 to the apparatuses. This signal triggers the start of a new game.
To play the game, players may actually select a ticket type, which may comprise from three to ten numbers. The available prizes differ according to the ticket type selected.
The second embodiment consists in an autonomous game; it does not depend on a live game for the generation of draws. The game server self-generates draws when needed. Yet, another difference is a list of concealed electronic tickets stored in a storage medium and distributed to gaming apparatuses upon request. Finally, the game server compares concealed information to the draw before distribution to audit play information.
Regardless of the above differences, gaming apparatuses accomplish the same functions.
A game starts when the game server generates a draw. This draw is registered and sent to the gaming apparatuses with a start-distribution signal. In response, the gaming apparatuses render the consumption of tickets available. Players purchase tickets. The ticket request is sent to the game server. The game server selects tickets (either randomly or in a predetermined order with tickets being shuffled before starting the game), marks the ticket as consumed, and sends the ticket information to the requesting gaming apparatuses. Ticket information is revealed, compared to the draw, and a prize is awarded to winning players.
A short time before a game end or upon end-criterion monitoring, the game server sends an end-distribution signal to the gaming apparatuses, which ends the distribution and make the gaming apparatuses shift to an idle mode waiting for a new start-distribution signal. Based on configuration, a new game may be initiated automatically.
Distribution alternatives exist. For instance, instead of storing a big population of tickets, tickets may be randomly generated upon demand and a monitoring memory may keep a list of the distributed tickets to prevent distributing the same ticket twice during a single game.
Furthermore, the end of a game may be determined by the occurrence of a predetermined event; this trigger event may be based on ticket values. For instance, a game may end when a playtime has elapsed, the total distributed prize reaches a threshold value, an odd criterion such as the occurrence of a card with the sum of the first four numbers equaling the sum of the first four numbers of the draw. With the last two alternatives, the game server detects an game-ending outcome, transmits an end-distribution signal to all apparatuses, generates a new draw for the next game, and sends a start-distribution signal and the new draw information to the apparatuses to start a new game. Based on preferences, either the game server or all gaming apparatuses may monitor game-ending criteria.
Furthermore, the invention may be embodied on different types of gaming apparatuses; from standard casino gaming apparatuses to hand-held computers. The game format may vary from lotto, keno or bingo without departing from the scope of the invention.
Accordingly, while the invention has been described in connection with the specific embodiments thereof, it will be understood that it is capable of further modifications. It is the intend to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the invention following, in general, the principles of the invention and including such departures from the present disclosure as come within known or customary practice within the art to which the invention pertains. These applications will find their essential features herein set forth in the scope of the appended claims.

Dead Silence (2007)
Learn more about Dead Silence:
|Ever since mary shaw was hunted down and killed, the small town of ravens fair has been haunted by horrific deaths. When a local's wife is brutally murdered, he returns home to unravel the terrifying legend of mary shaw and the reason why when you see her, you should never, ever scream.
"...a more credible, less grisly act of filmmaking [than the Saw series]... Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
Editor's NoteOld ladies, ventriloquist dummies, decrepit small-towns, and dolls are all exploited for their full creepy potential in DEAD SILENCE, a relatively innocent but thoroughly scary horror feature from the makers of SAW. After a heavily stylized black-and-white opening credit sequence that shows the story's central ghost, Mary Shaw, constructing her beloved ventriloquist dolls back in her heyday, the film transports viewers to the present. As newlyweds Jamie (Ryan Kwanten) and Lisa Ashen putter lovingly about their apartment far from their hometown of Raven's Fair, it is clear that something bad is about to happen. This dread is only further cemented when a knock on the door leads the lovebirds to discover an unmarked box containing a worn but eerily lifelike ventriloquist's dummy. Lisa is all too friendly towards the doll and gets what's coming to her when Jamie goes out to pick up some takeout, returning to find his wife's mangled body (minus her tongue) propped up like the dummy seemingly responsible for her death. With detective Jim Lipton (Donnie Wahlberg) on his heels, and a very guilty dummy in his passenger seat, grieving Jamie returns to Raven's Fair with the hunch that his wife's death is linked to the town's murdered ventriloquist, Mary Shaw. Once grand, Raven's Fair is now in a state of decay, and many of its inhabitants have died mysterious and brutal deaths in the years since Jamie was last home. Jamie arrives at his wealthy father's home, only to find a young new bride (Amber Valetta) by his side. No one wants to talk about Mary Shaw, let alone whisper her name. If Jamie is going to get to the bottom of the Mary Shaw legend, he'll have to face the town's past on his own. Arriving in the midst of the gore/torture trend (SAW, HOSTEL), DEAD SILENCE comes as a breath of fresh air. It's nice to see that a horror movie can still use gore with discretion and deliver a fright through old-fashioned scare tactics and a premise as simple as a ghost story.

|Dead Silence certainly isn't the movie I expected from the director of Saw. It's a solid, slightly more sophisticated horror film, one that I imagine director James Wan was thinking of making when he got his big break with the gruesome, albeit groundbreaking Saw. In fact, it was bold move, making a ghost story when hyper-graphic horror films are all the rage....read the full review

Customer Reviews of Dead Silence
Kept you guessing, and Ryan Kwanten is HOT!8/9/2007
First off, I have to admit, I am a horror movie fan. I get some fun even out of the bad ones. I remember wanting to see this when it was in the theaters, but there were other things going on that prevented that. So I was pretty hyped when the DVD release date was announced. I pre-ordered it and the day it came, I watched it. I was confident I was going to like it since it was directed by the same guy who did SAW, and I was not disappointed. There were many clues to how it was going to end along the way, but they were very subtle, and I didn't catch them the first time I watched it.

 I definitely recommend this DVD to anyone who enjoys a good scare!!

 A few coments on the actors:

 Ryan Kwanten is HOT!! The atire they dressed him in made him even hotter to look at. The only disappointment, was that they didn't rate the movie R so they could have added a hot sex scene where we could see his beautiful body. If you find yourself drooling of over him while you are watching the movie, make sure you google this hunk afterwards. You won't be disappointed at the images you find. This young Aussie has no problems taking his clothes off for the cameras.

 Donnie Wahlberg is solid. This is the second horror flick that I've seen him in. SAW 2 and this one. Interestingly, he played a police investigator in both films. He is definitely believable, and pulls off his dialog without a problem. He has certainly come a long way from his days with 'New Kids on the Block. I didn't google him after the movie, because I'm not sure if I want to see him nude, now his brother is a different story. :o)

 One last thing.. watch the deleted scenes, some of them explain some of the holes in the plot. I don't know if I would trust the editors if it was my film. I think I would rather edit it myself.

Then, repeat for all the Koins so that they all say 1000000 and make a wager of negative Koins. Do a fight, have either player win, and both profiles will have unlimited Koins.

Shanon Thomas, who is a competitor on the current Biggest Loser, has been arrested in Center Line, Michigan. She is accused of throwing flour in the face of her tenant.
Flour? She really should be using a weapon with fewer calories.
Though the incident happened December 16, Thomas was arrested and arraigned Tuesday. According to the report, she yelled at tenant Michael Nolden to turn down his television, then broke Christmas tree bulbs and finally hurled flour at him. He has since moved from the basement room.
Thomas denies the allegations. She informed the judge that Nolden threw a pan in her direction and "he told me to get a pizza" apparently mocking her efforts on the show. (Them's fightin' words!) A not guilty plea was entered on her behalf. She faces up to 93 days in jail. No trial date has been set.
Coincidentally, the new season of the popular program premiered last night.

Bangalore: For many people, an evening out involves going to a restaurant or pub and relaxing with friends, preferably with a glass of liquor and a cigarette in hand, while music plays in the background.
But, after the ban on smoking came into effect from October 2, it became obvious that relaxation would have to be attained minus the cigarettes. A little over two weeks, and it is evident that the ban has evoked mixed reactions from the people as well as owners of restaurants and pubs. Though most non-smokers have welcomed the ban, smokers are divided over the matter. With regard to business, some establishments claim that their business has not been affected, while others say it has.
K.N. Vasudeva Adiga, president of the Bangalore Hotels' Association, says, "Thirty to 40 per cent of business has been affected, especially in bars and restaurants."
Harinder Singh, General Manager, The Grand Ashok, says, "We have lost approximately 15 per cent business as smokers do not like going to restaurants if they cannot completely relax there."
Sanjeev Kumar, Manager, Hard Rock Café, says, "There has been a 10 per cent drop in business after the ban came into effect. I think the law should be more relaxed." He added that the management was looking into setting up a designated smoking area.
However, business has not been affected at establishments such as Pecos and Koshy's. Elongoven, manager of Pecos, says, "There has been no change in business." He adds, "My staff too are happy. They had to deal with passive smoking all this time."
Prem Koshy, owner of Koshy's, says, "People still stay here for long periods of time. That hasn't changed." On setting up a designated smoking area, he said, "It is not viable for me to set up a designated smoking area with all the specifications."
Although regulars to these establishments say they will not stop going there, they feel that their sense of enjoyment has diminished.
Ravindra Nagaraj, IT professional, a regular at Pecos says, "I do not think that the frequency with which people visit these places will change. But, their sense of enjoyment may be reduced due to the ban." However, Sudhir Sukumar, a copywriter in an advertising firm, says, "The ban is a good thing. They should ban cigarettes." The ban will not affect his sense of enjoyment when he goes to a pub.
But, this ban has affected some people more than others. Women smokers especially are finding it difficult as not many of them are comfortable smoking outside.
Kavita Shivanand, creative consultant for an advertising firm, says, "I am finding it difficult after the ban was enforced. I am used to smoking inside pubs and restaurants. I do not feel comfortable standing on the road and smoking."
The ban has also made it difficult for people who do not drink and only smoke. Beryl Timothy, who is a member of Alcoholics Anonymous, says, "As someone who does not drink but only smokes, I feel that when I go to a restaurant or pub they are robbing me of my only vice."

Chiefs, Dolphins fire coaches
Haley, Sparano out as teams seek marquee name
The Kansas City Chiefs and the Miami Dolphins fired their head coaches on Monday, cutting their losses with just three weeks left in the regular season.
First to go was the Chiefs' Todd Haley, followed hours later by Miami's Tony Sparano
The move came one day after the Dolphins lost to the Philadelphia Eagles to fall to 4-9 as the Chiefs fell to 5-8 following a loss to the New York Jets.
The defeat ended a recent surge by the Dolphins after they lost their first seven games.
With two other teams already in the market for a new coach, Miami owner Stephen Ross didn't want to wait any longer to start shopping.
Todd Bowles, who had been Miami's assistant head coach and secondary coach, will be the interim head coach for the final three games, starting Sunday at Buffalo.
The Dolphins are assured of their third consecutive losing season, the longest such streak since the 1960s. They'll miss the playoffs for the ninth time in 10 years.
Ross is eager to boost sagging attendance, and he's expected to pursue a coach with star power. Among those mentioned as possible candidates are Bill Cowher, Jeff Fisher and Jon Gruden.
In Kansas City, the Chiefs fired their combustible head coach with the team Haley led to a surprising AFC West title less than a year ago stuck at the bottom of the division following a series of devastating injuries and discouraging blowouts.
"Timing in these situations is always difficult. There never seems to be a right time," Kansas City chairman and CEO Clark Hunt said. "We just felt the inconsistent play the team has experienced throughout the season, including yesterday's game, made today the right day to do it."
Defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel will serve as the Chiefs' interim coach for the final three games, and Pioli said he will be considered for the permanent job.
"I don't perceive Todd Haley as a mistake," Pioli said. "Todd Haley is a good football coach. I'll say that. What we need to do is figure out what direction we're headed in and how we're going to continue to make progress, how we can get some consistency back."
Haley took over a team that won six games in the previous two seasons under Herm Edwards, and he leaves with a 19-27 record in his first NFL head coaching job. But despite winning the AFC West last season, it's hard to tell if the team improved under his watch.
The quarterback situation was a mess, even when Matt Cassel was healthy, and the offensive line has three players in Ryan Lilja, Barry Richardson and Casey Wiegmann who may not be back next season.
Jacksonville started the coaching carousel by firing Jack Del Rio on Nov. 9.
Monday's game
Seahawks 30, Rams 13 at Seattle: Undrafted rookie Doug Baldwin blocked a first-quarter punt that was returned by Michael Robinson 17 yards for a touchdown, then caught a 29-yard TD pass from Tarvaris Jackson in the third quarter as the Seattle Seahawks pulled away for a 30-13 win over the staggering St. Louis Rams.
Seattle (6-7) won for the fourth time in five games and kept alive its slim hopes for reaching the postseason.
Marshawn Lynch topped 100 yards rushing for the fifth time in the last six games, finishing with 115. He scored a touchdown in his ninth straight game on a 16-yard run with 2:57 left. Seahawks fans threw bags of Skittles into the end zone as Lynch celebrated the TD.
Sam Bradford started for St. Louis (2-11) despite a high left ankle sprain that has bothered him for nearly two months and forced him to miss last week's game at San Francisco.
In developments
Hasselbeck walking: Tennessee coach Mike Munchak says Matt Hasselbeck is sore but walking around despite a left calf injury. Whether the veteran quarterback is strong enough to start against winless Indianapolis remains to be seen.
Munchak said Monday that he is assuming Hasselbeck's injury is on the mild side.
Hasselbeck was hurt in the second quarter of a 22-17 loss to New Orleans, though he filled in for rookie Jake Locker with one completion in the fourth quarter before hopping to the sideline. If Hasselbeck cannot start, Locker would be in line for his first NFL start.
Briefly: Jim Leonhard will be a spectator for another Jets playoff push. The playmaking safety will miss the rest of the season with a torn patellar tendon in his right knee after being injured in Sunday's 37-10 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. ... Packers coach Mike McCarthy says wide receiver Greg Jennings will miss two to three weeks with a knee sprain but is expected back for the playoffs. Jennings hurt his left knee when he landed awkwardly in the third quarter of Sunday's victory over Oakland. ... Bill Polian appears to be setting the stage for a Peyton Manning-Andrew Luck tandem in Indianapolis. While the Colts vice chairman again declined to speak specifically about Luck, he told radio listeners that the team would struggle with a rookie quarterback next season. "Even if we were to draft a marquee guy in the first round, he's not going to come in and contribute immediately unless he's a rookie running back," Polian said. "It takes time is the point I want to make."

A two-year-old Siberian husky that was found severely beaten after going missing from a Chilliwack home has been discharged from a vet hospital, but the family remains wary of their pet's alleged attacker.
"Sabre's home and he's super happy to be home, which is amazing," said owner Lisa-Marie Shymkowich.
Shymkowich, her husband and their two children were in the backyard with Sabre when he went missing last Tuesday. A gate that is never used and barricaded with cinderblocks was found open, with the blocks toppled over.
"It only took a second for Sabre to go missing," Shymkowich said.
The couple searched for several hours, but came up empty-handed. The next morning they heard a vehicle pull up to their home and abruptly drive away.
Shymkowich was horrified and shocked to find Sabre on their driveway, bloody and severely wounded.
Dr. Kuldeep Chahal, a vet at the Cheam View Veterinary Hospital, said Sabre sustained cuts and blunt-force injuries all over his body and very sharp injuries to his left paw, which left the bone exposed. His right testicle was ruptured and hanging from outside of the scrotum.
Chahal said he couldn't determine the exact cause of Sabre's injuries, but said they're unlikely to have been caused by a fight with another animal due to the absence of bite marks, and did not seem to be from an accident.
"There was not like any kind of bone fracture that looked like an accident," he said. "These injuries are really different injuries."
Sabre was discharged on Sunday after being in care for four days, which included several hours of surgery to suture lacerations on his body and intravenous fluid treatment for liver complications. Due to the nature of Sabre's injuries, the family believes their dog was brutally beaten by a person and are currently canvassing local neighbourhoods to find answers and bring the assailant to justice.
Although relieved Sabre is home safe and sound, Shymkowich is fearful his attacker is still on the streets.
"We're more than diligent with our animals," she said. "Our cats are kept inside ... and we're with our dogs at all times."
The family is also grateful to the public, after receiving an outpouring of support from the community and donations toward Sabre's vet bills.

HD collections in my opinion are fantastic, if they're done right of course. There have been many games I've never had the chance to play and thanks to HD collections I don't need to go out and go through the trouble of needing to grab a old gen console and the games for them, some could argue that they prefer to play the game in it's original state, though I'm not one to say anything against that I'm not really all that rich so I can't afford to buy a crap ton of consoles.
So, this is my top little personal list of games that I feel like that should get the HD treatment, this shouldn't really get taken seriously but yeah, let's go!
I'm only gonna keep it to 3 cuz if I have to be honest a lot of people have probably already said what they want already and I'd just repeating what people have said, and I'm lazy.
1, Ape Escape.
Oh man, Ape Escape. This was one of my favourite games growing up as a kid and it was thanks to this game that I expereinced what analog control was really like, at first I actually hated the analog control, it felt 'different' but it quickly grew on me and now I'll never stand it if a controller didn't have them.
Ape Escape was a fun game, very fun and addictive. Running the levels, trying to catch the apes with all kinds of whacky toys was always a blast. Sadly, I never played the games on the PS2, I did play a little bit of Ape Escape 2 cause of a demo but I never actually managed to know the actual games cuz I could never find them at my store.
And this would be a nice collection to have for the PS3, maybe have the original as a PS1 downloadable title and have Ape Escape 2 and 3 on one disc.
2, Gotcha Force.
What the hell is Gotcha Force? I probably hear you asking, well it was a Gamecube exclusive title developed and published by Capcom. And despite the fact the game had got poor reviews for being 'kiddy' Capcom apparently had fun developing this game and a whole lot of people also really enjoyed the game.
The whole idea about Gotcha Borgs was that players did battle with another by using these little robot like things called Gotcha Borgs, these little buggers came in all shapes and sizes from a ninja to a dragon, and each of these characters did various different abilities and played surprisingly differenly to one each other, the game did have some balance issues, like how some borgs could just be flat out better than some others, other then that it was a goofy, action packed ride that was really. You could also trade your borgs with your friends, so when I think about it, this kind of game would be much better suited for a 3DS/Vita release. Capcom, get it done.
3, Final Fantasy 12
Final Fantasy 12 despite how some fans hate it was a surprisingly solid gameplay experience, a FF game that took an interesting twist in the combat system by making it like the Final Fantasy 11 Online gameplay. This was a huuuuuge game, a game where players could design characters how they wanted and take on side quests of plenty, sadly I never really got my teeth sunk into the game deep enough so I feel like I've missed a lot but I remember from what I played I really, really enjoyed it.

In theory, most Americans would like to pay off their home in 15, 10 or even 5 years. Most Americans would like their mortgage to remain at today's historically low rates, or even see a lower rate. And in theory, most Americans would probably agree with the notion that buying a home should solely involve themselves and a lender.
In their weekly podcast, Money & Politics, Larry Kudlow and Tim Pawlenty discuss Iraq, the Fed ending bond buying, inflation, and the House leadership election.
The introduction of legislation to reauthorize Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA) by the House Financial Services Committee is a positive step toward ensuring universities, hotels, stadiums and other facilities have access to terrorism insurance. The Financial Services Roundtable (FSR), however, has concerns about provisions in the legislation that may decrease private market capacity and inject ambiguity into the recovery following an event.

Upon further review: Experienced local IHSA officials take time to get it right
KANELAND—It could be that the best officiating crew in any high school sport is the one you barely notice.
That's ironic, considering the countless officials that make up the Illinois High School Association landscape go through painstaking time and material to keep up with their particular sport.
Some of those officials can claim themselves part of the area, even though their trade takes them all over northern Illinois, and even to State finals.
IHSA football has seen the likes of Montgomery representative Robert Ybarra and former Elburn resident Ed Reier for a combined six decades of action.
Those gentleman that patrol the sidelines and keep 22 capable athletes in order on Friday nights go through offseason prep that rivals the intensity of teams like the Knights' playbook study.
Ybarra, who has been tabbed to officiate two IHSA State football championship games, not only keeps up on the rules, but also passes on what he has learned in approved seminars and clinics.
"I was in Peoria last week and running a clinic and going to be in Forreston, Ill., on Aug. 9 to train and educate other officials. These IHSA-approved clinics give them the opportunity to learn," Ybarra said.
Ybarra is sometimes asked to give nine different presentations at summer officiating clinics, dealing with aspects of football like the passing game, kicking game or penalties.
"When you're asked to present to 100 people, you have to be an expert on these aspects of the game," Ybarra said.
Being an expert goes a long way for the 23-year gridiron vet Ybarra, who earned spots in previous title games through a power rating system handed down by IHSA assessors.
"You get rated each game, and get points, and you attend rules clinics every summer which gets you points, as well," Ybarra said.
There's no magic to what Ybarra has been able to do leading into each season.
"You have to stay on top of the rules and communicate with your crew and the coaches and be prepared. You have to know the rules and have your philosophy and definition of penalties. There could be a game where it's a 30-8 game, and talent and players enter into it the most, but another completely different crew could have their take on a rule and it'd end up being a different score," Ybarra said.
Ybarra would like to see what other opportunities lay out there and work his way up one day.
"You need to join the Midwest Football Officiating Alliance, which puts you in with Division III games, and I'd like to work my way up to the Big Ten," Ybarra said.
To appreciate Ybarra's journey as a weekend warrior in black-and-white, just look at an early age.
"I would run around with my older brothers and I just wasn't fast enough," Ybarra said, "So, during football games they asked if I wanted to blow the whistle and that's how it all began. There was an ad in the paper for an IHSA football clinic and I thought 'why couldn't I do that?'"
Reier, of Arlington Heights, Ill., but a recent decade-long resident of Elburn, has a little more experience and an eye for how the game has changed.
"The players are faster and stronger, and we have to keep up with them more," Reier said. "We have to respond to that. As I age, it gets tougher."
Reier, working for a landscaping company in Skokie, Ill., keeps going as an official like he has every year since the early 1980s.
"The thing is, these kids don't age. We get older, and a different set of kids come in. But there are things I've improved at, like response time," Reier said.
Reier's expertise has brought him all over the northern half of the state.
"I've been all over. Recently, I've done games in Rockford, been out by Lincoln-Way, done games at Kaneland and gone all the way to Lake Forest," Reier said.
Much like training camp that begins in under two weeks, Reier is preparing to get busy.
"We meet next week for an IHSA clinic to go over and review the rules again. There's a lot that goes on. More and more teams are running the spread offense, and in the pre-game meeting, coaches will ask how we'll rule a certain play," Reier said.
Reier and his whistle-wearing brothers have goals that are similar to the kids wearing helmets: do their best every week.
"Our goal as a group is do our best week to week for the IHSA," Reier said. "There's nothing like a full stadium on a Friday night."
Elburn Village President Dave Anderson has been at it for 40 years as part of the IHSA track and cross-country scene, at the front lines of the usual Kaneland staples like the Peterson Prep and Jill Holmes Invite.
"In the beginning, you didn't have to belong to the IHSA officials group, but about 23 years ago, that became a prerequisite," Anderson said.
Track is a sport that has more constant edges than others, but Anderson notices changes nonetheless.
"I think the safety procedures taken have really come into effect," Anderson said. "I remember landing pits being sand or sawdust, and now they are cushioned."
Anderson also thinks technology has impacted today's track as much as any other sport.
"Before, it was just ear and the eye once they crossed the finish line, and now you have stop watches, chips and automatic time stop. It's been positive," Anderson said.
Also like other sports, Anderson and the other officials at huge meets need to keep up on the rules of the road, so to speak.
"The rulebook has definitely gotten thicker, but you have to keep up with it. The technology and the rules and structure of the meets have made things quicker, as well. That's good for everyone, especially the fans," Anderson said. "We go to a clinic once a year and get tested once a year."
An official can see the best side of kids and the not-so-good side after wins and losses, but Anderson can vouch for the latest crop of kids in his field.
"The last two or three years, the kids have been great," Anderson said. "Both the boys and girls side has been polite and respectful. It's a constant sport and their demeanor is great when I speak to them."

Season of Suppers Strives to Double Pet Food, Monetary Donations in 2009
PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ — The Banfield Charitable Trust, in partnership with Meals On Wheels Association of America (MOWAA) and Banfield, The Pet Hospital®, is helping feed hungry Pets this holiday season with its annual Season of Suppers campaign, a national Pet food drive, which runs Sunday, Nov. 1 through Thursday, Dec. 31. The Season of Suppers campaign, now in its fourth year, aims to feed Pets of homebound seniors who receive meals from Meals On Wheels.
The Banfield Charitable Trust is hoping to double monetary donations in 2009 to fund, or start, new Pet feeding programs through We All Love Our Pets (WALOP) grants. During the 2008 campaign, the Trust raised $42,000 in monetary donations, which funded more than 50 WALOP grants. Meals On Wheels programs throughout the country can apply for these grants to initiate or sustain Pet-food distribution programs locally.
"Season of Suppers touches many people's hearts, and it is a joyful time for everyone involved," said Dianne McGill, executive director and chief executive officer of the Banfield Charitable Trust. "When we first started this campaign, we never imagined how quickly it would grow. The support from volunteers and MOWAA program directors has exceeded every goal we envisioned for the program's growth. We are humbled by the generosity donors have shown with their support, especially given our difficult economic times. We hope to meet the increased need with even greater participation this year."
In addition to the money for WALOP grants, the campaign also collected thousands of pounds of Pet food that local Meals On Wheels programs distribute. Banfield alone collected 13,000 pounds in 2008 at its main campus in Portland, Ore. Across the country, more than 750 Banfield hospitals act as food collection donation sites.
"MOWAA's mission is to eradicate senior hunger by 2020. That is our focus, and we do it one day at a time, one nutritious meal at a time and one senior at a time," said Enid A. Borden, president and chief executive officer of Meals On Wheels Association of America. "One thing we have seen firsthand is how important Pets are to these homebound seniors. In many cases, their Pets are their only family. It goes without saying that keeping Pets as nutritionally healthy as their owners is critically important. In more cases than we can count, the Season of Suppers campaign has made that possible – and a home is a much brighter place when the whole family gets the nutrition they need."
There are three ways to help make the 2009 Season of Suppers campaign even more successful:
- Purchase Pet food and place it in the Season of Suppers donation bin in any Banfield Pet hospital. The BCT suggests items that are easy to transport, such as small bags and cans.
- Donate money at Banfield Pet hospitals. During November and December, Banfield Pet hospitals are collecting Pet food and monetary donations in more than 750 hospitals nationwide. To find your nearest Banfield location, visit www.Banfield.net
- Contribute online at www.BCTSOS.org by clicking the "donate now" button. Your donation of $30 will help Meals On Wheels programs feed one Pet for an entire month.
About the Banfield Charitable Trust
Banfield Charitable Trust, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity founded in 2003, was founded in response to Banfield associates' requests for a way to take Banfield's vision of treating Pets like family beyond the walls of the hospitals. In addition to providing preventive care to clients in need, the Charitable Trust also supports childhood education about caring for Pets, veterinary education program, and programs to enhance the family-Pet bond.

Montana Black Gold.
Whether it is a lamp in your house, a dome light in your vehicle or the sun itself--light comes from above! With that in mind, Black Gold designed the Skylight, an innovative new hunting sight with a light gathering fixture mounted atop its pin guard.
The technology has been given the name SkyCoil and employs two separate parts; the first is a clear plastic fixture that houses the end of the pin fibers in a tightly coiled bundle attached to the top of the pin guard. The second part of the system is a clear plastic sheath that houses and protects the fibers between the pins and SkyCoil. Montana Black Gold advertises a 300-percent increase in light gathering efficiency.
A circular full metal pin guard surrounds four, .030-inch Skylight Pins. The round guard has a sighting ring painted in "Extreme White" to aid in peep sight alignment. Sighting in should be a breeze with horizontal/vertical calibrated gang adjustments. A built-in bubble level is also included. Available in black or Multi-Match camo.
Mach4 Trap Door Arrow Rest
Mach4, a new division of Black gold, has introduced the new Mach4 MT (micro tune) arrow rest. Like its predecessor, the Trap Door, the Mach4 MT is an inertia activated fall-away arrow rest. Activation by inertia eliminates the need for strings or cords. In a similar fashion to that of "cocking" a firearm, the Mach4 is locked in the ready-to-shoot position. Upon release, the bow's energy activates the rest and the launcher falls out of the way.
There are two adjustments that affect the performance of the rest's fall away mechanism. The first is a bow poundage adjustment, changed by loosening two hex head screws and turning the brass shaft to the desired location. The Mach4 comes from the factory set for bows with draw weights between 50 and 80 pounds. If your bow is below 50, the bow poundage adjustment indicator needs to be turned to the number "1." The second adjustment is for sensitivity. A small screw under the up/down adjustment screw can be turned counterclockwise so the rest will drop quicker, or clockwise causing the arrow to travel further along the rest.
The Delrin launcher is quiet and does away with the need for shrink tubing. A "Deep V" launcher arms permits the bow to be tilted up to 90 degrees without the arrow falling off. The launcher block is attached to a keyed and calibrated stainless steel shaft that allows left/right adjustments to be made independent of vertical adjustments. Vertical adjustments are made via a calibrated vertical dovetail block that lets you easily micro tune for precise up/down location.
Precisely machined 6061-T6 aluminum is used to construct the Mach4, which, along with a cover plate that protects the internal mechanism from weather and abuse is the reason a life-time product warranty can be offered.
The Mach4 MT is advertised to increase arrow speeds up to 10 fps, contains internal dampening bumpers for silent operation and works on low recoil bows.
Dusk Devil 2
Introduced in 2004, the Dusk Devil 2 bow sight from Black Gold is absolutely loaded with features. First to catch your eye will most likely be the full radius edges machined into the 6061-T6 aluminum mounting bar, windage post and pin rails.
The heart of the Dusk Devil 2 is the Straight Away pins. Unlike other configurations these pin fibers do not bend, instead the long axis of the pin is positioned in line with the shooter's eye. Black Gold claims their Straight Away pins are 50-percent brighter than traditional style pins. They back up their claim with the "Shooting Hours" Guarantee, which states, "We guarantee you'll be able to see your pins during legal shooting hours from your tree stand without an external light source."
The scuba-fin shaped pin bodies are near paper thin, 62-percent thinner than most, and are constructed of an ultra durable nylon polymer. An "Arc" machined into both pin-mounting slots works to align all four fibers with the archer's line of sight.
The end of each pin features the Devil's Tail pin point. This three-point fiber enclosure allows you check your bow torque on the microdot pin models. Black Gold also advertises the ability of this feature to provide the shooter with three distinct aiming points.
The Straight Away pin configuration creates the need for a third axis adjustment and riser structure correction on some bows. To correct for various riser styles and shapes, one of the mounting holes is slotted to allow for sight alignment with riser configuration.
Other features include a three-point fiber optic peep sight centering system, "intense white" painted pin guard and the choice between standard (.050-inch) and Micro Dot (.025-inch) pins available in three colors.
Black Gold's pursuit of innovative technology is evident in their products. For more information on Black Gold or Mach4 products contact: Montana Black Gold, Dept. PB, 25-B Shawnee Way, Bozeman, MT 59715; (406) 586-1117; www.montanablackgold.com.

You faggots yap about tokin' kush
from Odd Future – Swag Me Out Lyrics on Genius
Way too many rappers talk about smoking kush. Kush is high grade weed characterized by the appearance of red hairs.
Tyler is disparaging of rapping about weed because he doesn't smoke weed (or drink for that matter).
"Tokin'" is another word for inhaling.

Strengths: The bike handles great and really does a good job absorbing the shock. The frame is a work of art. Weld quality is exceptional.
Weaknesses: The replaceable dropouts are my only complaint. I have two reasons for this. The rear wheel is difficult to install, I had to spread the dropouts to slide it in. Not a big deal except in races. I have also noticed that the rear deraileur moves quite a bit when tighten down the skewer on the QR. I don't notice any flex out back when riding.

In "Stone," Robert De Niro Seems More Awake Than He Has in Years
Robert De Niro's alarm must have finally gone off — in Stone, the actor seems more awake than he has in years. De Niro is Jack, a prison corrections officer who, abandoning all professional and common sense, foolishly screws himself by screwing Lucetta (Milla Jovovich), the wife of cornrowed arsonist inmate Stone (Edward Norton), whose parole case he must soon rule upon. Jack's failing is nominally one of the flesh, yet it's spiritual and moral deep-rot that truly plagues him, with AM-dial Christian radio blather providing an incessant backdrop for both Jack and Stone's dual quests for deliverance. Director John Curran's sure hand is most evident in precredit intro passages that create unnerving dissonance from jumps among locations, time periods, and incidents as well as in an atonal soundscape of undulating chimes, drones, and overly symbolic bee buzzes. However, despite a restrained, internalized performance by De Niro that refuses to turn Jack into an aged version of Cape Fear's Max Cady, as well as Norton taking a hoary, rough-neck caricature and infusing him with unexpected blissed-out tranquility, the B-movie-tawdry and unpersuasive plotting undercuts the material's sober concerns about sin and salvation. At odds with its own lofty and base instincts, Stone ultimately channels neither compellingly.
