Pink, it's like red but not quite.
"The game I saw hyped" isn't ever really delivered.
That's pretty much what hype means, yes?
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.

Wow, then the tutorial is the worst possible advertisement for the game, because it drove me away.
I'll give it another shot when it releases here in Europe as Age of Wulin.

Snailgames might decide to never release in EU, if they are not seeing the profits.
Western gamers you have to hook in the first 15-30min, otherwise they will not play it, and this is where Wushu IMO fails.
Also calling wushu "sandbox" is pretty misleading, heck you could call EQ1 PvP servers sandbox by the same standard, as there was no questing period and it was open PvP.

Wushu is as much a sandbox as EVE. If Wushu is not neither is EVE.
So please DMK continue to enjoy Defiance, that seems to be more you pace. Leave the hardcore progression to us please :p

Nothing DMKano said was negative in the sense that it was bashing nor untrue. But apparently the slightest hint of negative and you go into passive-aggressive mode to bash someone in your "I'm so clever I said that" method.
As for the game, he was spot on in the fact that majority of people have to be hooked within the first 30 minutes. That goes for EVERYONE. The tutorial should be something to grab your attention immediately, while helping you understand the game's basic mechanics. No one is going to torture themselves trying to wade through a pile of dung and razorblades to get to the rainbows and sunshine on the other side, save maybe masochists.
I wanted to like AoW and I gave it about an hour or so before I literally couldn't stand forcing myself to continue. A complex game like this needs to open up slowly and hook the player with small, meaningful attributes early or they're going to just become overwhelmed (EVE had to redo their tutorial, numerous times, before it was actually comprehensive and allowed players to LEARN the basics while being fun and engaging). The original EVE tutorial was garbage and had the same affect of losing potential players.
That aside, I'm highly interested in a game that has meaning and depth; tired of standard, linear, phased, instanced, spoon-fed dribble. Any suggestions from anyone as to what I can do starting out again to learn the game and potentially enjoy getting setup rather than wanting to stick rusty forks into my eyes doing the tutorial and figuring out their Engrish mess?

I will glady discuss with you. DMK eeh if you hang around these forums you would understand.
You see, this is where I disagree with you. I see things completely different form you. In fact, I'm put off by tutorials in general (community Spotlight & OP) Even worse are these "flash forward, fight huge monster" style tutorials. I may not be the majority, but I'm not alone.
What the Wushu Tutorial does (if you can get past there being no dragons) is give you background on the world you just entered.
Do you remember the little girl you tried to help, the one with the kite on the roof? I'm sure you do, you were socked, or atleast it gave you pause when you returned her kite and she raged at you for messing up her scam. What the little girl teaches you is, trust no one (kinda like the mmorpg forums.) Ming era China is a ruthless, lawless place There is not a person playing who has not been scammed or lost silver.
Next you move on to your school. This tutorial gives you back ground on why it exist, how they behave, and how they fight. This is where you get your fist set of skills and your internal, the teachings that make you a part of the school. From this point on, you are free. You get nothing more. The rest is for you to grow into and learn.
Now I do agree that no voice, the quest giver to quest giver start, and the autopathing feature can be off putting, or even make you say same old same old. It did the same thing to me. Then to add a block button, fly skills, time releases cultivation, quest that give nearly no XP, mobs that give less, all in a FFA pvp world. It's just too much for some.
MMORPGs of the last 7-8 years have been simplified to a point that you could sum the entire game up in a 15 minute walk through. Wushu is simply not that. At the sake of "gushing" AoW has more systems than the last 4 major releases combined, RIFT, SWTOR, TSW, and GW2. I have no reason to lie to you, there's just that much. No walk through that can prepare you for that. Your first 3 months will be your walk through.
Now believe me I understand, that this is not for everyone. That's ok though. For those like myself, and those who maybe, I write what I've experienced.
I don't this game is deep or complicated, it is just not well explained. In game text is generally vague at best, incorrect at worst.
The tutorial phase is pretty crap and if you have an understanding of basic computer games rather annoying. Does it really need to show me how to open my bag and place skills every single time?
Back to being deep and complicated:
PvE: 99% of enemies just stand there and take it. The defacto standard for instances like Twilight Village and other low level (never done GCC) is to round up as many trash mobs as you can and aoe them down. They dont do enough damage for you to worry about them killing you, so you can gather 30, 40, 50, and push one button and kill them.
The bosses telegraph the dangerous moves just like any other mmo. Other than that it is just button mash till it is dead.
PvP: Open world with little consequence for death. Escorts, guild raids, school wars, spying, kidnapping...all encourage PvP. PvP is generally won by the person who has the most CC and the highest dps. A group of lowbies can indeed kill a higher player but stunlocking them indefinitely. Not exactly skill as many "schools' (read as base class) has a plethora of CC.
Combat Progression: You get XP from quests (spy missions, instances, random npcs) and pitiful amounts from other things like harvesting, killing mobs, doing crafting. XP is converted into cultivation which is then placed in skills that you choose. XP also contributes to Chi which increases stats in meridians that you choose to use.
Crafting progression: Play Bejeweled, win, level.
Where is the deep in that?
Drop the next-gen marketing and people will argue if the game itself has merit.

What does one get besides a shiny name in the this deep political system? Do they levy taxes? Do they control anything at all? Not deep, superficial.

I did not get all the "hype" around the game. I tried it for a bit and never logged in again.
The game felt like a normal Asian grinder FTP game.
I read a lot about this game was hard and had a learning curve. I took that to mean it had deep game play. I did not think it was hard just poorly translated and implemented.
The only think I liked was the ability to climb on top of buildings and explore. That got old after a bit.

Well yes they do.
Yes guild levey taxes on areas they control two bases in.
School leaders control treasure. The declare war and ally with other schools to war for these treasures. The more treasure (only 8) your school has the more bonuses they will receive.
Now I'm just skimming the surface answering what you asked. The layers of both of these system goes several more layers deep. Feel free to ask if you like.
As a previous poster stated, post you see in the vain of the poster above are speaking from a very limited understanding. Maybe in the mmorpgs of last year, you would "understand it all" after a few hours (maybe sooner not to much different between them) Not here though. Again if you like I will explain both those systems further.

cool story, i bet You would die from 10 mobs in gcc at 1st time, as for TV at hard You will lose whole mp after killing just 2 mobs, at hell You wouldnt probably even kill them
button mash on bosses? You are a pro thx for tips!!!, hit boss who will get dmg buff when he parry Your hits, then he will 1HKO, or smash buttons at bosses who stun at parry or drain mp
-no, group of lowbies will have low stats and will miss most if not all hits, but.. from Your BIG game knowledge You probably know better
-what some people call deep crafting in AoW its professions dependency, yet again guess You didnt experience that coz You would need better recipes than basic one from npc

That doesn't mean it doesn't have vices like an overly complicated leveling system with a tutorial that leaves much to be desired. The real problem is people go into Wushu EXPECTING it to be another simple asian grinder, they don't pay attention to what the tutorial does have to offer and then they quit in frustration because they don't understand how things work. Of course, they then promptly come to mmorpg forums to tell tales of how horrible wushu was without ever even playing the game because they couldn't follow basic instructions.
Wushu is truly innovative from the ground up, and every triple A title on the horizon should be required to study it to help them think outside the box.

I actually think the game is very underrated in the west. AoW is much better and innovative then RIFT, SWToR, GW2.

Crafting dependency. You mean making a basic piece of jewelry that is completely useless till 2 other professions alter it and spend money to upgrade it on a RANDOM chance you might make something worth selling. Yup..great system there.
Of course the top .000001% of the game where the ultra-leet are is the only place the game shines, that's why people are missing it. I understand now.

The latest data available on the state distribution of R&D performance are for 1995.[24] These data cover R&D performance by industry, academia, and Federal agencies, along with the federally funded R&D activities of nonprofit institutions.[25] The state data on R&D contains 52 records: the 50 states, the District of Columbia (DC), and "other/unknown" which accounts for R&D in Puerto Rico and other non-state U.S. regions, as well as R&D for which the particular state was not known. Approximately two-thirds of the R&D that could not be associated with a particular state is R&D performed by the nonprofit sector. Consequently, the distribution of R&D by state indicates primarily where R&D is undertaken in Federal, industrial, and university facilities.
In 1995, total R&D expenditures in the United States were $183 billion, of which $177 billion could be attributed to expenditures within individual states, with the remainder falling under an undistributed, "other/unknown" category. (See appendix table B-8.) The statistics and discussion below refer to state R&D levels in relation to the distributed total of $177 billion.
R&D is substantially concentrated in a small number of states. In 1995, California had the highest level of R&D expendituresover $36 billionrepresenting approximately one-fifth of the $177 billion U.S. total. The six states with the highest levels of R&D expendituresCalifornia, Michigan, New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Texas (in descending order)accounted for approximately one-half of the entire national effort. The top 10 statesadding, in descending order, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Ohioaccounted for nearly two-thirds of the national effort (figure 14 and text table 7). California's R&D effort exceeded, by nearly a factor of three, the next-highest state, Michigan, with $13 billion in R&D expenditures. After Michigan, R&D levels declined relatively smoothly to approximately $5 billion for Ohio. The 20 highest-ranking states in R&D expenditures accounted for about 85 percent of the U.S. total; the lowest 20 states, for 5 percent.
States that are highest in total R&D performance are usually ranked among the highest in both industrial and academic R&D performance. For example, among the top 10 for total R&D, eight states were among the top 10 for industrial R&D, and eight were among the top 10 for academic R&D, as shown in table 7.
For Federal intramural research, there was less com-monality with the top 10 for total R&D. Only four states were found in both top-10 lists: Maryland, California, Ohio, and Texas. The six others in the Federal intramural list, in descending order of Federal R&D performance, were the District of Columbia, Virginia, Alabama, Florida, New Mexico, and New Jersey. Maryland ranked first among Federal R&D performers, followed by the District of Columbia, California, and Virginia. The placement of Maryland, the District of Columbia, and Virginia among the top four in Federal R&D performance reflects the concentration of Federal facilities and administrative offices within the national-capital area.[26] Alabama, Florida, and New Mexico rank among the highest in Federal R&D because of their relatively high shares of Federal space- and defense-related R&D.
States vary widely in the size of their economies, owing to differences in population, land area, infrastructure, natural resources, and history. Consequently, variation in the R&D expenditure levels of states may simply reflect differences in economic size or the nature of their R&D efforts. A simple way of controlling for the size effect is to measure each state's R&D level as a proportion of its gross state product (GSP) (appendix table B-8). That proportion is referred to as R&D "intensity" or "concentration." Overall, the Nation's total R&D to gross domestic product ratio was 2.5 percent in 1995. The top 10 rankings for R&D intensity were, in descending order, New Mexico (8.1 percent), the District of Columbia, Michigan, Massachusetts, Maryland, Delaware, California, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Idaho (the latter with an intensity of 3.5 percent). New Mexico's R&D intensity is largely attributable to Federal support to the Sandia National Laboratories and Los Alamos National Laboratory FFRDCs in the state, provided by the Department of Energy.
Figure 15 juxtaposes state R&D performance with GSP, with the 50 states and the District of Columbia ranked in descending order of R&D. R&D expenditures are displayed as a dark bar, measured on the upper axis; GSP is displayed as a wider gray bar measured on the lower axis; both are measured in billions of dollars. The two highest-ranked states in total R&DCalifornia and Michiganclearly show R&D levels that are relatively high in relation to their GSPs, as reflected by their presence in the top 10 list for R&D intensity (table 7).[27]
[24] Although annual data are available on the location of R&D performance by the academic and Federal sectors, NSF conducts surveys on the State distribution of industrial R&D performance only in odd-numbered years. At this writing, the 1997 industry R&D survey data have not been processed, making 1995 the most recent year for which the State-specific R&D totals can be reported.
[25] R&D performance data include the R&D activities in FFRDCs in each sector of the economy. For a more detailed description of these data, as well as comparisons of 1985 R&D expenditures with other economic measures (for example, population and gross state product), see NSF, Geographic Patterns: R&D in the United States, by John E. Jankowski, NSF 89-317 (Washington, DC, 1989).
[26] Federal intramural performance included the administration of extramural R&D programs.
[27] For additional information about the geographic distribution of R&D within the United States, see National Science Foundation, Science and Engineering State Profiles: 1997, by Richard J. Bennof and Steven Payson, NSF 98-315 (Arlington, VA, 1998).

Reader Q&A: How do you organize your coupons?
I frequently have readers ask me some great questions. I decided to occasionally do a Reader Q&A post highlighting some of the questions that I receive that others of you might find interesting. If you have a question you'd like to ask leave a comment or email me.
This week's question was one that reader Leslie left in a post comment.
Q: Lydia, I recently had a baby boy and am blessed to be able to stay home with him. I want to start couponing more that I have in the past. I read different blogs and articles on coupon books. How do you start one? How do you organize one? I would love to see one that is put together. Any suggestions would be extremely helpful.
First of all, congratulations on the birth of your son. How exciting!
As for how to start a coupon book….well, that's a tricky question! Here's why. There are as many methods as there are people; basically you have to figure out what what works for you and then go with it.
I do a combination of several of the "typical" ways and I like it because I feel like it takes less time than clipping every single coupon and yet I feel organized with it too. I have three different places that I keep coupons- an envelope that I keep just clipped or just printed coupons in, a small coupon folder that I put printed/clipped coupons in that I take to the store with me, and a file folder satchel where I file my coupon inserts.
I have this envelope tacked to the cork board by my desk, right next to where my computer and printer are. (Very glamorous looking, eh?) When I cut a coupon out of a magazine, print a coupon online or get a coupon in the mail with a sample, I tuck them in here. It's kind of my landing place until I have time to put them in my coupon folder in a more organized fashion. But in the meantime, I don't have them cluttering up my desk, which is what used to happen.
Coupon Folder
I store all my clipped coupons in this little file folder. When I am getting my shopping trips ready for the week, I take any coupons from the envelope (as talked about above) and put them in their correct spot in the file folder.
I have the file folder set up with these categories: Grocery, Household, Personal Care, and Baby. I know that isn't as many categories as many people use but I like it and find it easier to work with than when I tried having categories like Oral Care, Feminine Hygiene, Cereal etc.
Then in the front I have a spot where I put the coupons that I plan to use that week for my shopping trip to each store. I take all the coupons for each store and paper clip them together to make it easy to grab exactly the coupons I need once I'm shopping. Then when I get to the store, all I need to do is pull out the appropriate clipped together stack of coupons and I'm ready to go. I also keep all my FREE product coupons clipped together and put in the front there so I am reminded of them often and can use them before they expire.
File Folder
I found this lovely file folder at ROSS a couple of years ago. I was excited because I was looking for something to file my coupon inserts in that wouldn't look ugly sitting by my desk. It fits the bill perfectly.
When the coupon inserts come each Sunday, I immediately get them and mark the date on the front of the insert in the top right hand corner. Then I file them in my file folder, putting each month together in order by date. To figure out the date of the coupon insert simply look at the spine. It will tell you what newspaper it was from and what date it came.
So one slot in my file folder will hold all my Jan. inserts, one all of my Feb. inserts and so on. Then when I need a coupon from a certain insert, all I need to do is locate it and cut out the coupon.
At the end of every month or so, I go through the inserts and take out any pages that have only expired coupons on. In other words, if the page has a coupon that is still good I keep it, otherwise it gets tossed. This keeps my file from getting too huge and thick and saves me from leafing through pages unnecessarily.
So there you have it. Nothing glamorous or amazing but it's what works for me when it comes to organizing coupons!

I use a three ring binder (i started with a 1 inch but now use a 4inch) i bought some baseball card protectors (found at walmart, target, meijer in the toy section with the baseball cards target has the best price 4.99 for 35 sheets which hold 9 cards/coupons) I cut all my coupons out and sort them into sections which work for me(i have changed and added sections as needed. This works best for me to organize my coupons and is time consuming but i can look up any coupon with a flip of a page. I have noticed there are alot of items on sale in a store that isnt listed in the weekly sale ad and when i see something on sale it easy to look to see if i have a coupon. I also keep envelopes for individual stores that way when i look through the weekly sale ad i can have the coupons ready for the items i plan on purchasing. I save 50-80% by using my coupons. My children also help with organizing the coupons, my children are 7-8 and love to cut paper so on sunday and thursday when we get the paper we all set at the table and they cut the coupons out and I put them in my coupon book. Then afterwards we look through the restuarant coupons and go out for a treat.

Wendy- I know a lot of people LOVE the binder method but it just was too time consuming for me. But then I don't have children old enough to help me cut them out either. Love how you involve the kids and then enjoy a treat afterwards! Thanks for sharing!

Parolee gets 25 years to life for 1997 murder
LOS ANGELES - LOS ANGELES (AP) - A parolee convicted of murdering a woman whose body was found on the grounds of a Los Angeles church in October 1997 has been sentenced to 25 years to life in state prison.
A Superior Court judge sentenced 48-year-old Richard Joseph Bojorques Jr. on Friday. He was convicted in June of first-degree murder for strangling 49-year-old Veronica Fuentes Linasero.
Bojorques was acquitted of sodomy and a related special circumstance allegation.
Linasero's partially clothed body was found on the grounds of a church in the Eagle Rock neighborhood in northeast Los Angeles.
Bojorques was arrested in February 2007 at his parole agent's office after police detectives learned Bojorques' DNA matched evidence found at the scene.

On Tuesday, a three-judge appeals court upheld the disputatious Kyleigh's Law, part of the Graduated Driver's License System (GDLS) that requires new drivers, under age 21, to display one red decal in the top, left corner of both the front and rear license plates.
The Associated Press reported that the parents of two Morris County teenagers filed a lawsuit challenging the law, which went into effect in May 2010, arguing it would unfairly target young drivers to criminals and sexual predators in addition to law enforcement.
According to NJ.com, Rockaway attorney Gregg Trautmann argued against the measure before the appeals court saying Kyleigh's Law violated the Federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act, which forbids motor vehicle agencies from disclosing personal information or "highly restricted" personal information except under certain circumstances.
"While I respect the judges' efforts, I think they're taking an unreasonably narrow view of what is protected," said Trautmann.
The panel unanimously agreed that the measure is constitutional and not pre-empted by the federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act, ruling that an age group is not as personal as other information retained about New Jersey motorists.
On behalf of the panel, Judge Jane Grall wrote that the provisions, subject to GDLS restrictions, are "suitable means of furthering safety on the roadways of this state." Grall agreed that the GDL did no more to identify teen drivers anymore than they identified themselves merely by being in public.
The measure is named for 16-year-old Kyleigh D'Alessio, after her death in a 2006 car accident in Morris County. D'Alessio was a passenger in a car driven by a friend driving on a provisional driver's license.
Kyleigh's Law requires an adult to accompany a 16-year-old driver with a learner's permit, wear a seat belt, avoid cell phones or other handheld devices while driving and refrain from driving between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.
The reflective red decal would help police officers identify drivers who are violating their provisional licenses. At age 17, drivers can acquire a provisional license to drive unsupervised for one year, but they cannot carry more than one passenger from outside their household.
Drivers can acquire their basic driver's license at age 18, if they have successfully completed one year of unsupervised driving. The measure would increase fines and penalties for drivers who violate the conditions of their provisional licenses. The order to display the removable decals went into effect May 1, 2010 and costs the driver $4 per pair.
While the measure faced its fair share of opponents, many supported its legislation, like 17-year-old Kayla Conlon, of Blairstown. Conlon, a family friend and classmate of D'Alessio, spoke to the New Jersey Herald in 2008.
Many of Conlon's peers said her support of the measure would hinder their ability to drive freely. Conlon, however, used Motor vehicle fatality statistics amongst teenagers to justify her support.
The New Jersey Teen Driver Study Commission found that motor vehicle crashes were the leading cause of death among teenagers in the United States, resulting in an average of 6,000 fatalities per year.
Proponents of Kyleigh's Law hope that its measures will prevent further tragedies in communities statewide.

The Marche region
Le Marche is often described as 'old Italy' where the landscape and traditions have barely changed for centuries. The region lies in central Italy and is bordered on the east by the Adriatic Coast and on the west by the Sibillini and Appenine mountains forming a border with Umbria. To the north are the borders of Tuscany, The Republic of San Marino and Emilia -Romagna, and to the south the region of Abruzzo. The climate is similar to that of neighbouring Umbria and Tuscany, very cold in the winter and very hot in the summer, although Le Marche has a bit more rain and is therefore greener.
The striking features of Le Marche are: 180km of coastline with a great variety of beaches, most notable are the beaches of the National Park of Monte Conero near Ancona; stunning natural landscape - dramatic mountains of the Sibillini National Park and breathtakingly beautiful undulating hills; delicious local food and wine - Le Marche is home to the famous white wine 'Verdicchio'; and medieval hilltop towns, each one a jewell, scattered all over the region - Urbino, Cingoli, Osimo, Monte San Martino, to name a few. The region is also home to some of Italy's most famous artists such as Raphael and masterpieces by Verocchio, Piero della Francesca Uccello may be seen in Urbino. Shopping is also a local passion as Le Marche is the centre of Italy's leather goods manufacture, from designer shoes and handbags to belts. Many of Italy's top design houses have their outlet shops in Le Marche.
San Severino
The medieval town of Cingoli, known as the 'Balcony of the Marches' is 15 minutes drive away with panoramic views over the hills to the sea. It was the birthplace of one of Italy's Popes and has a gem of a museum in his former home. Cingoli also has some important churches and is also home to one of Italy's best known motorcross trails! The town of San Severino, known as 'City of Art', lies in the valley below (10 mins drive), it has a good museum and gallery of fine art as well as some important churches and monasteries.
The Frasassi Caves nearby are the longest in Italy, one chamber large enough to hold Milan Cathedral! Well worth a visit.
Macerata is host to the world famous open air opera season at the 'Sferisterio' (40mins from the house) which runs June-Aug.
Throughout the summer there are pageants and palios and food and wine festivals in the local villages.
Further afield is Urbino, the world-famous Renaissance town and birthplace of Raphael (1hr 40mins drive) and within 1.5- 2 hours are: Mirabilandia (Italy's version of Disney Land), Fabilandia (theme park for small children) Le Navi (Aquatic park) and Italy's famous theme park 'Italia in Miniatura' where you can visit all the main cities and sites of Italy in a day.
All the attractions listed above, and more, are given in more detail in the house pack.

"Sogni dei Santi way exceeded our expections and we can't wait to go back."
We stayed at Sogni dei Santi for October half-term with our five children and another family with three children and there was more than enough room for us all.
The house has been beautifully restored with every modern luxury yet still retaining its character. It all has a 5* feel to it with everything having been done with top quality fittings and workmanship.
In the kitchen there is everything a serious cook could ever need or want from fabulously sharp knives, beautiful platters to serve food on to stunning views from the kitchen windows!
The children loved running around the beautiful garden, again with unbelievably beautiful views, and spent hours bouncing on the trampoline or playing table tennis. The pool looked beautiful but it was closed up for the winter.
We went for wonderful walks in the incredibly unspoilt surrounding countryside, everywhere you look there is another perfect view. We enjoyed homemade icecreams in the nearby town called San Severino which has some lovely shops and a great supermarket selling local produce.
In the evenings we would light the fire, listen to music from the iPod docking station, play some of the inumerable games that are kept in the games cupboard or watch a DVD.
Then we would retire to our beds, the comfiest I have slept in for a long time, nestled in our crisp White Company bedlinen having had a long hot bath in our beautiful en-suite bathroom and wrapped ourselves in luxuriously fluffy white towels.
We couldn't recommend Sogni dei Santi more highly and will definitely return - maybe in the Summer next time to try out the pool......

"Amazing holiday in the most beautiful and peaceful setting."
I went with a group of friends to this wonderful holiday home. It was such a beautiful setting in the hills with stunning views. The house itself was extremely spacious and perfect for a relaxing holiday. We enjoyed cooking fresh food from the market in the large kitchen and eating together in the outdoor dining area (there is an indoor dining area too, but the weather was perfect for sitting outdoors). We even barbecued one night. The pool was wonderful and we enjoyed a variety of outdoor activities including cycling, walking, swimming at a nearby lake and the list goes on. I would highly recommend this beautiful holiday home to anyone - you will have a fantastic time!

Lightning snap 5-game skid, beat reeling Devils
Tampa Bay put the game away in the second period on the goals by St. Louis and Killorn.
St. Louis' sixth tally of the season came on a 3-on-2 play that Killorn started in his own end. He made a pass to Lecavalier coming out of the Lightning's own zone, took a return pass in New Jersey's zone and then found St. Louis alone at the left side of the net for a tap-in at 5:33.
Killorn, who has four goals and four assists in 13 games since being called up, made a great play on the third goal. He skated out from behind the Devils' net, moved between the circles and beat Hedberg between the pads with Hedberg distracted by Lecavalier and St. Louis standing on either side of him.
Thompson upped the margin to 4-0 with a snap shot from in close after another nice set up by Conacher.
Henrique ended Lindback's bid for his first shutout of the season with a short-handed goal with 6:16 to play. Elias scored on a power play with 4:45 to go and Andrei Loktionov had a shot roll along the goal line with 2:00 to go. Lindback created a little excitement with 1:27 firing a shot at an empty net just wide.
B.J. Crombeen iced the game seconds later with an empty-net goal.
"I've been saying that we needed to work hard for a long time and tonight the hard work paid off," Lightning coach Guy Boucher said. "We played great against great opponents, but can't finish. We're right there with them and can't get it done. So many times, being good offensively is important. I told the players before the game that now is the time. They had to turn it up. They deserve this. I was hoping that a game like this would have come earlier."
NOTES: Tough guys Krysofer Barch of the Devils and Pierre-Cedric Labrie did more dancing than fighting in their first-period tussle. Both still got 5 for fighting. ... Palat has two assists in two games since being called up from Syracuse on Monday. ... This was the second of three games between the teams this season. The final one will be in Florida on March 29. ... The Devils have given up the first goal in seven consecutive games. ... Killorn has points in six of the last 10 games.

Physicians on move to meet local needs
Recruiting process helps draw talent
It's not quite the perfect storm, but the rising number of baby boomers hitting retirement age and the low number of health care providers available is on a collision course that many in the medical community acknowledges is unavoidable.
For Wendy Patterson, the physician recruiter and marketer at the Clinics of North Texas in Wichita Falls, it just means an opportunity is available to fight the rising tide. As the recruiter at the facility, she said she's charged with ensuring that the multi-specialty clinic is able to meet the needs of its patients and the community.
Right now, there are about 48 providers — physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners — at the Clinics. When the Wichita Falls Clinic and Medical Surgical Clinic merged in 1995 to form the Clinics of North Texas, the facility had 80 physicians and more than 500 employees, according to an Oct. 21, 1995, newspaper article, at six different locations throughout the city.
But that was almost 17 years ago when baby boomers were still in their early 30s to late 40s. That's why it's important to have a recruiting process, Patterson said, that identifies areas of need by self-evaluation and also requesting feedback from patients.
"You really look at what they have to go to Dallas for," she said when the Clinics determines what specialties to target, such as an orthopedic surgeon or ear, nose and throat specialist, to name a few. "You look at the waiting period for any specialty."
One area that always will remain a need because it's the most used is that of family practitioners. According to the Clinics' website, there are 15 family practitioners employed.
"Family practice is always going to be a growing entity," Patterson said. "We also are building our own hospitalist programs, so we are looking for hospitalists."
A hospitalist, as the name suggests, is a physician that specializes in managing a patient's care while they are hospitalized.
Help is on the way to address the need of family practice docs, however. Dr. Francis Mijares, a recent graduate of the Texas Tech Family Medicine Residency Program in Amarillo, will begin seeing patients Aug. 20. He said he decided to come to Wichita Falls to open his practice during his last year in the program because it provided security of knowing where he was going to practice, and because he felt at home when Patterson was recruiting him.
"When you're finishing up, you just focus on finishing," he said of his final year in the program. "I'm excited to get started."
Mijares, a native of The Philippines, said other factors that led to his decision included the hometown feeling of Wichita Falls, the proximity to Dallas-Fort Worth and Oklahoma City and the Filipino community that resides here.
The process of luring a physician to Wichita Falls can take years, Patterson said, as she works to build relationships with various residency programs and potential candidates for the Clinics. She said she attends conferences and sends materials to various programs. That's how Mijares learned of the Clinics of North Texas and the opportunities in The Falls.
"You bring them in as soon as they strike an interest," Patterson said. "You want them to know right away that you are interested."
There's more to it than selling the physician on Wichita Falls as a place to practice. The recruiter said the focus has to be on the entire family to make sure the location is a good fit for them, too.
That's why what Wichita Falls has to offer, the quality of schools and possibilities for the spouse's employment are key points to address during the process.
"The family has to be part of the process," Patterson said. "You're not just interviewing the physician. You're interviewing the family."
A total of 10 practitioners will join the Clinics in 2012. That's up from five that joined the practice in 2011. Patterson said the Clinics will continue to move forward to address the medical needs of Wichita Falls and its surrounding communities.

-- Austin was set to have Jim Cornette on his latest podcast, but it won't air due to bad audio quality. Instead, the episode with Kevin Steen has aired and is said to be a good one.
-- On the last episode of Austin's podcast, he asked about having Vince McMahon on the show. He mentioned that McMahon wanted to do it, but Austin preferred having an in-person interview instead of over the phone. He said if their schedules link up he'll try to make it happen. Now with the announcement that both will be in Las Vegas for WWE's big announcement, it seems like it could happen sooner rather than later.

ALMA from SAN BERNARDINO, CA – Verified Buyer
The chairs in Eggplant are exactly like the colored pictures on the website! They arrived very quickly and my granddaughter put them together in about 45 minutes. After a week of use they need to be tightened up again, but we had to do that with other chairs also so I think it is just a settling-in and may have to be done occasionally with all chairs. It is easy to do so it isn't a big deal for us. The chairs have sliders already attached and I liked that I didn't have to buy them and do it myself, mostly because you always run the risk of splitting the legs. Don't want the drama or need the stress! I can sit my 250 lbs very comfortably on the seat and it does not sag or give. Very pleased with these chairs,
Beautiful and solid!
Elizabeth from Carlsbad, CA – Verified Buyer
These chairs were on sale and the bargain of the year! The fabric is gorgeous and the colors rich and soft. They were also accurately depicted and described on the website, which I appreciated. They are very comfortable, yet compact enough to slide nicely into my dining table. They are not bulky or heavy. My only negative feedback was that 2 of the six were very difficult to put together. If my husband was not resourceful and a wizard with tools, I would have needed to return 2 of the 6 chairs. According to my husband, the legs and holes were not cut correctly and required some re-crafting on his part. After a bit of cursing at needing to modify 2 of the chairs, he did get them put together and we have been happy with them!
Stylish, comfy, easy - exactly what I was looking for!
Megan from Westland, MI – Verified Buyer
I bought my first set of these in burnt orange to play off my burgundy accent wall in the dining room. I wanted to start with just two in case I didn't like them and wanted to send them back. However, I love them! They were fairly simple to put together-the bolts hidden in the seat of the chair did throw me off for a second (thanks to another reviewer I knew where to find them). There are instructions for adjustments if the chairs don't sit level, but both of mine were perfectly level after finishing assembly. I find them very comfortable for the length of a dinner. Maybe it would be nice if the seat were a bit longer, but I'm still very happy with them. And I love the color!
Great chairs for the price, fun in multiple colors
Dana from Highlands Ranch, CO – Verified Buyer
Got six of these chairs, two each in three different colors - dard red, moss green and sunrise. The sunrise is an especially pretty color...looks kind of like copper. Moss green has an almost silvery sheen to it, and the dard red is rich and dark. All three colors look good together around a large round table (Wildon Home table, also on Wayfair). One chair had a defect, one of the legs wouldn't fit in right to assemble it. But I contacted Wayfair and they sent a replacement in a matter of days. The chairs are fairly comfortable, a little stiff and not the best I've had...but for the price you can't beat it.
Great buy - easy to assemble
Tracy from Pembroke Pines, FL – Verified Buyer
I was a bit worried based on the reviews that this was a pain to put together. I ordered 3 sets so 6 chairs total and assembled them all within an hour - and I am NOT handy by any stretch of the imagination. I did need my husband to really tighten the screws, and one of the 6 chairs needed to be leveled but that was it. My husband easily played with the screws to level that one chair and these are really, really beautiful, cost effective chairs for the dining room. I got the eggplant (purple) which is just a rich beautiful pop of color. Additionally, I am adding nailhead trim so these are looking way more expensive than they really are. This was a GREAT purchase!
Great value, nice chairs.
Sylvia from Kihei, HI – Verified Buyer
I bought these chairs based on prior reviews and kept my fingers crossed. Just bought a new dinning room table for Christmas and needed them asap. Sure enough, they arrived as stated (2days) and are relatively stable chairs. I only say this because a couple of them arrived with cracked frames on the front of the seat frame. Called customer service and they shipped out two new ones! The fabric on the chairs are of a stubby texture and you might find a couple of tight little knots, not noticeable. The frame of the chairs are nice and sturdy, firm back and seat. The chairs are easy to put together (per my husband). The color is not as deep as I would like, but they looked great with my dinning room table. Even though I had to pay shipping, I live in Hawaii, these were a great value. Wonderful Customer service, will definitely shop here again.
Solid chair reflective of price
Moriel from Lexington, KY – Verified Buyer
These chairs are very solid and definitely a perfect fit for our search for sturdy starter chairs. To provide context, we are starting our family and searched for chairs that we would be okay with having covered in all things children related and then replaced in 10 years. These chairs look great, sit sturdy, and are easy to assemble. The downsides are that the stitching pattern is variable and inconsistent and looks cheap (think H&M quality stitching), and that for each chair we never got 4 consistently sized legs. Because we bought 6 chairs, we mixed and matched legs to make them all the same height. Also, the legs come with nicks and dents. Again, we are looking for something for a decade with the understanding that we will replace these chairs. For this purpose, these chairs are great.
Nice chairs at a great price!
Sharon from Gardena, CA – Verified Buyer
The chairs were easy to assemble and I liked the fabric. However, one chair had a small spot in the seat and the color chart said "pare" which is green but looks yellow. The green (pare) is a nice color. Color charts are a bit tricky. These chairs are quite comfortable. I hope they will last, as I see some areas that look like a "flaw" in the fabric. So, my hope is that it won't fray! I'm very happy with them for the price. I'm so happy to finally have SIX MATCHING CHAIRS instead of having to put folding chairs up for extra folks. Good price. One light colored spot on seat of one chair and one possible flaw in seat.
Great Chairs But Be Extra Careful Constructing
Scot from SAN DIEGO, CA – Verified Buyer
We love the color on these (we got the bright blue) and the seat is sturdy, but comfy. Everything is a nice quality, especially for the price. The only drawback - and this might just be user error - when tightening the front legs, I went too tight and split one of the legs. You don't even know you are doing it until it's done. I was able to clamp and glue it back together and used extra washers to fill the space so the bolt didn't go as deep, but I'd just recommend being more careful when putting these together than I was. Nice quality, Love the fabric, Great price Take care with assembly to avoid splitting
Carol from Tucson, AZ – Verified Buyer
Very happy with this purchase. Great for the price. Vivid dark red chenille fabric is a nice contrast to the dark wood legs. Assembly took about 1 hour...a little tricky to get the last couple of holes lined up. Keeping the other screws loose, and tightening all the screws when assembled is the key.

When damaged people marry, they begin to resent their partner for not making them whole. - Robin Norwood
From the movie "Jerry McGuire" came the phrase "you complete me." But, the truth of the matter is that no other person can complete us when we are incomplete and damaged and have not dealt with that damage.
We cannot leave to someone else, the work that is our own.
We cannot rush into relationships hoping to keep our mind off the fact that we are damaged or need more to be complete. We will never find that completeness through another person or a relationship or a job or a situation.
The only way we can find a way out of the past, a way to be complete, is through our own work.
When we refuse to do this work, we place an incredible burden on others, usually other people who are also damaged and think they can avoid their own damage by taking care of us.
What happens next is that both resent the other for not doing what is impossible to do. Both people want impossible things from the other, not knowing and not recognizing, that their cry is really, "FIX ME." and that no one else can do that. Soon resentment over the partner's "other" failures start to form and the relationship is hurtling toward doom. Neither recognizes that the issue is the aching hole in the soul of each that only they can rectify by doing their own work.
Hurt people hurt people and until each person deals with his or her own hurt, the hurting continues. Do your work. Repair the damage. Complete yourself and you will meet other complete people and have loving relationships.

MDA ALS Fact Sheet (English)
MDA ALS Fact Sheet (en Español)
MDA ALS Fact Sheet (en Español de Puerto Rico)
Biotechnology company BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics has announced plans to collaborate with two American institutions to test its experimental stem cell technology in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in the United States. The institutions are Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester, Mass.
The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) released its new guidelines on patient care in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) on Oct. 13, 2009. Several MDA-affiliated physicians were involved in their development.

The Journey
If you're reading this guide, it's probably because someone you care about deeply has ALS.
In hopes of collecting as much information as possible, the National ALS Registry, which opened in October 2010, already is expanding its reach.
Registry officials have made the enrollment process easier and are adding surveys about potential risk factors to the registry's website.
Receiving a diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) will unquestionably alter your life in almost every aspect.
San Francisco biotechnology company Cytokinetics announced June 21, 2011, that it has opened enrollment for a new clinical trial of CK-2017357 at three different dosage levels in people with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease).
In a 2010 study, scientists working in the United States and Germany found that small polyglutamine ("polyQ")expansions of DNA in the ataxin 2gene significantly increase the risk for developing ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease).
Expansions of DNA coding for glutamine in the ataxin 2 gene lead to production of expanded ataxin 2 proteins, containing extra strings of glutamine amino acid molecules.

"Once we have heard the views of local people we will be working with Cambridgeshire County Council to assess the application further to decide what the priorities are for the discussions with the developers."
The first exhibition is on Saturday, September 20, from 10am until noon at Bar Hill library.
This will be followed by:
- Saturday, September 27: Longstanton Village Institute, 10.30am to 12.30pm;
- Tuesday, September 30: Ploughman Hall, Willingham, 5pm to 7pm;
- Saturday, October 4: Oakington Pavilion, 10.30am to 1.30pm;

- Tuesday, October 28: Oakington Pavilion, 5pm to 7pm.
See scambs.gov.uk/services/northstowe for full details.
The consultation runs until October 31.

The New Ulm Public Utilities Commission on Tuesday awarded over a million dollars worth of bids on 3 upcoming projects in the community. MR Paving and Excavating was awarded a bid for more-than $85,000 to install a large water main connecting the Airport Water Tower to the future Nehls Park Water Tower. The bid came in nearly $20,000 below estimates, and the work is scheduled to get underway on October 14th and take around 3 weeks. TMI Coatings was awarded a $159,500 bid to repair masonry on the city's 3 million-gallon Heinenhill Reservoir. That work starts October 7th, and will take nearly a month. And Brennan Construction was awarded an almost $947,000 bid to prepare the New Ulm Power Plant for the installation of new steam turbine equipment.

Mr. Goldin agreed that data challenges are imminent for Hawaii. He added that he had been asked to estimate the minimum data capacities for the state, and had answered that 100 megabits of capacity should be provided for every home in Hawaii, and 1-10 gigabits for scientific research and business research. "These are absolutely mandatory thresholds," he said, "if you want to have a high-tech industry that's stable and grows." In addition, he said, the computer science capacity and supportive technologies at UH are not sufficient. He suggested a war chest of at least $10 million to $20 million to hire the best people and upgrade the infrastructure.
