TORONTO — It may be a little early to start analyzing the 2012 CFL Entry Draft in its entirety, but as we enter October football, there are a number of this year's draft picks that should be recognized for the impact they've been able to make with their teams.
Lavoie: 26 REC, 239 YDS, 4 TDWesterman: 7 TKL, 3 SacksChambers: 24 REC, 234 YDS, 1 TDHurl: 3 TKL, 15 STT, 1 Sack
This year's class has already left a major mark on the current season, and with many rookies playing major roles before playoff time, it's not out of the question that one of these gifted young prospects could make the difference in winning a championship this year.
A number of teams opted to go with futures for their top picks – players who may not be available in the next season or so, or may even possibly never play a CFL down in their life – and while those picks are certainly warranted given the talent out there, here we'll take a look at some of this year's most impactful players from the latest draft class.
Ben Heenan
When the mammoth 22-year-old offensive lineman was picked first overall by the Riders, he wasn't expected to step into a prominent role with the o-line right off the bat. But, when injuries plagued the Green and White through training camp, Ben Heenen was called upon to step in.
It was no big deal for the Regina native, who's now gone on to start the majority of games at right guard for the Riders, providing strong run blocking for outstanding rookie Kory Sheets and helping to keep Darian Durant standing upright.
Head Coach Corey Chamblin's noted a few times that as far as he's concerned, his first overall pick isn't even a rookie. That's high praise for a kid straight out of university, going against every day stars on opposing defensive lines.
Jabar Westerman
Despite some stiff competition in a defence loaded with the league's greatest defensive superstars, second overall pick Jabar Westerman found a way to crack the starting lineup back in mid-August.
That fact alone is impressive enough, but so far he's rewarded his coaches for their faith in the rookie, as the Brampton, Ontario native has fit in just fine on the Lions interior line. The 23-year-old has three sacks already this season, and while he continues to compete for playing time with the likes of Khalif Mitchell and Eric Taylor, he's had no issue making an impact.
Westerman looks every bit as intimidating as anyone else on the Lions' defensive line, and with his team looking like the favourite to appear in the 100th Grey Cup game in Toronto in late November, don't be surprised to be hearing his name all through the playoffs.
Patrick Lavoie
Drafted as a running back, who could've imagined that 11th overall pick Patrick Lavoie would be making a major impact in the league's most celebrated offence of the last decade and a half?
The Alouettes became a bit of a trend-setter of sorts in 2012 so far, using the tight end as an important part of their offence, especially in the red zone. The 24-year-old has played a big role in letting that happen, building chemistry with Anthony Calvillo to become a go-to guy in the red zone. Lavoie has four touchdowns and 211 yards on 23 catches this season, and is quickly emerging as a household name for a Montreal Alouettes offence that continues to find new ways to be effective and score points.
Shamawd Chambers
The numbers aren't going to blow anyone away, but the role Shamawd Chambers has played in the Eskimos' offence can't be ignored.
Since the 23-year-old native of Markham, Ontario joined the Eskimos, he has somehow found a way to make an immediate impact. Used sparingly in the opening couple of weeks, he was called upon to play a bigger role when Adarius Bowman went down in game number two with a season-ending knee injury.
Chambers didn't seem to miss a beat with his added responsibility, making key catches for the Esks and scoring his first career touchdown in the third week of the season against the Bombers. This year he has 23 catches for 217 yards and a touchdown plus his own partial highlight real.
His ability to fit in on the Edmonton offence likely also made receiver Greg Carr expendable, allowing the team to move him to Saskatchewan in exchange for offensive line help.
Samuel Hurl
The Calgary native was picked 12th overall in the CFL Entry Draft, right behind Lavoie, and despite not being a starter has found a way to make a steady impact in the Riders' lineup.
At 22 years old, Hurl is one of the youngest players in the draft, and appears to have a bright future in Riderville thanks to his quick hustle and 6-foot-1, 225-pound frame.
This season the University of Calgary grad has three tackles and a sack on defence, to go along with 13 special teams tackles. He should one day figure into the team's starting lineup weekly on defence.

Cops: Couple took their child along on burglary
A Franklin Square couple burglarized an apartment building, with the man climbing two stories as the woman -- with their child in tow -- stood watch, Nassau County police said Wednesday.
Third Squad detectives said Frank Simone, 29, and Allyson Tibaldi, 26, both of 1149 Benmore Ave., burglarized two apartments in New Hyde Park at about 4:30 p.m. Saturday.
Simone climbed to the second-story landing of an apartment building on Jericho Turnpike as Tibaldi kept watch with their 3-year-old daughter, police said. Simone took jewelry and prescription drugs from the apartments before the couple fled, according to police.
Both were arrested Wednesday. Their child was left in the custody of a family member, a police spokesman said.
Each is charged with two counts of second-degree burglary and endangering the welfare of a child. Simone also is charged with third-degree unauthorized use of a vehicle.
They were held pending a $50,000 bond or $25,000 cash bail.

Covering traditional stone corrals with chain-link fencing protects Himalayan herders' livestock from snow leopards. It also protects snow leopards from the herders themselves. Minimizing livestock losses cuts down on revenge killings of the big cats. Says Darla Hillard of the Snow Leopard Conservancy, which helps fund the predator-proofing, "Our basic approach is to turn the snow leopard from being seen as a pest into a valued asset, worth more alive than dead." The following groups work with Central Asian communities to help both the people who live there and the cats.
Snow Leopard Conservancy forms partnerships with in-country groups to foster stewardship of snow leopards and their habitat. Efforts include camera traps and tracking with GPS units as well as programs to benefit local people, such as himalayan-homestays.com. For more information, go to snowleopardconservancy.org.
Snow Leopard Trust offers an array of conservation programs in five different countries: livestock vaccinations in Pakistan, livestock insurance in India, ecotourism in Kyrgyzstan, and more. Crafts made by Mongolian herder families can be purchased from the trust's Snow Leopard Enterprises at snowleopard.org/shop.

I've heard so much lately about new vaccines coming on the market, but I'm reluctant to get my son any shots that he doesn't really need. How do I know which ones he really should get?
- Graham
To protect them from a number of potentially serious diseases, kids should receive all the vaccinations recommended for them by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and other immunization authorities.
Some parents choose not to vaccinate or only partially vaccinate their children — sometimes for safety concerns and other times for financial reasons. But new vaccines are licensed and recommended only after being thoroughly studied. And safety monitoring continues even after a vaccine has been approved.
If cost is an issue, kids can receive inexpensive or free vaccines through local public health clinics or community health centers.
If you have questions or concerns about which vaccines your son should receive, talk to your doctor.

North American Scum
Tall Fires, Devon McClive and Sons, Gamble, Gamble, Die, Ben Davila and the Spectacles
Brick & Mortar Music Hall
1710 Mission Street
San Francisco, CA, 94103
Doors 7:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is 18 and over
Born on a snowy night in San Francisco, North American Scum is the LCD Soundsystem-infused dance band that gets you moving.
Tall Fires
This band makes Rock. And Roll. Doing so: Frank Cupido (guitar), Ian Halvorsen (bass), Matt McGowan (drums) and Caleb Garling (guitar/vocals).
Devon McClive and Sons formed in 2009 in San Francisco when Devon returned from an inspiring sabbatical in Bellingham, WA. With a handful of songs written on the cello, she pulled in some of her favorite musicians from the San Francisco Bay Area who she had played with over the years in other bands. With the idea in mind that she would pull these people together for a recording project, two years later, they are still playing and performing together. A little seed of an idea turned into a growing and evolving entity all of its own.
With folk music and romantic experiences of living on the water as inspiration, the music toggles between proud chords and heart wrenching melodies. The music ranges from gypsy-like rhythms with sassy trumpet solos to sweet tender vocal lines accompanied by riveting viola riffs and spaghetti western guitar sounds. People have compared them to artists such as Regina Spektor, Antony and the Johnsons, Dido and Damien Rice. The band consists of Michael Tornatore on drums, Steven Hall on viola, Aaron Priskorn on trumpet, Dave Davis on guitar and Devon McClive on cello, piano and vocals.
Shortly after they played their first show in March, 2009, they started playing in the poster room of the legendary Fillmore. Devon took the songs on the road and played two east coast tours, learning the way the road and spreading the music as best as she could, playing places such as The Cake Shop in NYC and the Purple Fiddle in Thomas, WV. In July of 2010, Devon released her first EP, Quiet Bravery, on piano with Michael on drums. They hit the road to promote the EP through the Pacific Northwest. In the meantime, they have received some press from the UK and are working on the first album as a full band to be released in 2011.
Out of the ashes of San Francisco's favorite unknown band, Mama Lion, comes Gamble, Gamble Die. Harnessing the ability to enlighten, entice, enrich, and, most of all, confuse your ear with the beautiful sounds of bodily explosions, exacerbating your internal life clock with thoughts of the after-death.

Canberra centenary coin enters circulation
The Royal Australian Mint has unveiled a new 20 cent coin to celebrate Canberra's centenary.
The first of the coins were struck at the Royal Australian Mint this morning by Member for Canberra Gai Brodtmann and ACT Chief Minister Katy Gallagher.
The coin features the blueprint for Canberra as designed by Walter Burley Griffin and his wife Marion Griffin.
Spectators at Tuesday's Prime Minister's XI cricket match at Manuka Oval will be among the first to see the new money.
The coin will be used for the coin toss and then the mint will hold a coin swap for spectators keen to get their hands on the coin.
ACT Chief Minister Katy Gallagher says the coins will be circulated nationwide over the next month.
She says she hopes they will draw attention to the capital's 100th birthday.
"Five million 20 cent pieces with a centenary of Canberra stamp on them will go out into circulation," she said.
"They will hopefully reach people's wallets and purses by March, in time for the big birthday celebration."
The mint has also produced a collectable $5 silver coin featuring the Canberra skyline.

One autumn day in 1963, the mother of a yet-to-be best-selling author was invited into her basement by a yet-to-be convicted serial killer. Something was wrong with the washing machine, he claimed, with a look in his eyes she later said was indescribable -- like, in a bad way.
The man was Albert DeSalvo, part of a small construction crew working on the house belonging to the parents of Sebastian Junger, who three decades and change later wrote A Perfect Storm. Mrs. Jungers instinct told her not to venture down the basement stairs. And since nothing happened, she did not report the incident. The following day Bessie Goldberg was raped and murdered a few blocks from the Jungers home. The killing bore the signature of similar crimes that plagued Boston for two years popularly thought to be the work of an individual the press dubbed The Boston Strangler.
Nabbed by police on an unrelated rape charge, DeSalvo confessed he was the Boston Strangler, though no evidence surfaced to support his claim. He never admitted to the Goldberg murder and was killed in prison in 1973. Roy Smith, an African American from Mississippi with a criminal history, was convicted of killing Goldberg and spent 23 years in prison pleading his innocence.
A Death in Belmont is Jungers exhumation of the strangler case. He claims, though not with absolute conviction, Smith did not kill Goldberg and DeSalvo likely did while working at Jungers childhood home.
My familys experience is minimal and was just a starting point, the globetrotting Vanity Fair contributor tells the New Times. I know about all of this because it touched my parents. My interest is not based on that.
The book covers a lot of ground, from race relations in northern cities (Roy Smith was reported to the police before the murder even took place simply for walking in a well-heeled white neighborhood), to the flaws in a court that put Smith away under questionable circumstances and procedures. DeSalvos guilt in the Bessie Goldberg murder has never been proven, and since the DNA evidence has been destroyed, it probably never will. On a local level, speculation still thrives even though all the victims and perpetrators are dead.
I think theres a controversy that lives on: Was he or wasnt he? says Junger. In Boston you can still get into arguments in bars about whether DeSalvo did it. Beyond the whodunit, however, is a larger critique of a justice system the author believes is the best in the world yet still totally fallible.
I feel that the book in its broadest sense isnt about DeSalvo or Roy Smith or Bessie Goldberg; theyre all dead, he says. Its about approaching an unknown logically. From a jury decision to a government decision like, Are there WMDs in Iraq? when we cant know absolutely for sure. Meet Junger tonight at 7:30 at Coral Gables Congregational Church.

Somehow it happened that in all my years of living in Brooklyn, I'd never been to the Upper East Side. But when I heard that there was a place called "The Metropolitan Museum of Art," I decided it was as good an occasion to venture beyond Houston as any. I loved art. Art was one of my favorite things! I'd loved art ever since I saw a Takeshi Murata video piece on Vimeo, and this noise show at Goodbye Blue Monday last year only made me more excited to visit an entire non-warehouse building full of "art." Little did I know the horrors that awaited me.
So on Thursday night I boarded the L train (heading away from Morgan Ave.) and made my way to socialite-town. But apparently this museum closes at night?! So the following afternoon, after brunch, I tried again.
I'd heard from some kids I knew who went to Bard that the Upper East Side is a charming neighborhood inhabited by ancient, well-appointed relics of a glamorous bygone era, or like a Woody Allen movie maybe, with jazz and tiny dogs. And a park almost twice the size of McCarren Pool. But I'm what you might call a bona fide Brooklynite, in that after I graduated from Hampshire I moved into the McKibben lofts, after the first time but before the second time New York Magazine mentioned them. I've been to Park Slope—how exotic could the Upper East Side really be?
Perhaps my kiffiyeh and bespoke Air Force Ones weren't the best choice for the day, but I overcame the fact that I was a total Park Avenue misfit and hoped my foreigner status wouldn't be glaringly obvious to the natives. (It was.) After narrowly escaping death by dog-walker on the 86th Street subway platform, I made my way to a castle in what felt to me like Connecticut. (It wasn't.) Dozens of signs directed me toward a grand hall that reminded me of nothing so much as that new Trader Joe's on Atlantic Ave, where campus security promptly pawed through my messenger bag and asked to take my BAPE hoodie.
I'd planned on paying, perhaps, an optional five-dollar cover that entitled me to a Bud tall boy or two, since I hadn't brought my usual 40 of OE, but instead I was told the suggested donation was $20—twenty dollars!—and they didn't so much as explain if it went toward the band's gas money to get back to Baltimore or whatever. Fuck Bud, they better have some fucking vodka, I thought, as I handed over the "emergency" AmEx my dad pays for.
I went upstairs and waited for something to happen. I began wandering through labyrinthine rooms looking for the art, but I couldn't find a single found-object installation. Not one collage applied directly to an exposed brick wall, nothing incorporating a cavernous former industrial space, nothing even vaguely graffiti-inspired. It took me an hour to realize that the "art" was the Holiday Inn paintings and Pier 1 sculptures everyone was staring at.
Most of the "art" was on the walls. Not projected on the walls, no, but actually just hanging there, static. Hardly anything looked as if it'd be awesome to stare at while shrooming. None of the artists were even there, as far as I could tell! Without forcing the audience to become an active and integral part of the installation, how would these jokers ever shock me out of the waking dreamstate of late capitalism? With a fucking painting of Jesus that didn't even look like it was made by a schizophrenic homeless dude? No one even touched me! I was flustered beyond belief, but the setting was so impersonal that there was no escaping without seeming totally intolerant and disrespectful.
Jacob van Ruisdael was a Dutch landscape painter, meaning that he drew a bunch of pictures of trees. "Wheat Fields," as the little card warned, is a "monumental" and "ambitious" 1670 oil painting of some wheat fields with a "centralized recession into space." I guess I should've taken it seriously. The painting was more than a yard long, and it made me feel small, and sad. The clouds were kind of scary. It made me want to listen to music that sounded like Arthur Russell programming a Gameboy while watching a light show instead. This was just a big empty landscape of some grains and trees and clouds!
I'm not passing judgment. Really, I'm not. But I couldn't shake the creepy feelings inspired by the massive landscape. It was almost as if I was being encouraged to contemplate an awesome spectacle over which neither I nor any of my socioeconomic peers had any authority or authorship. It seemed absurd that this crazy notion of my own grand unimportance could possibly be sparked by a drawing of some lame trees and grain. Crazy, right?
I have no doubt "Wheat Fields" will appeal to a certain subset of museum-goers, many of whom no doubt will find it illuminating and inspiring. But for the more alt audience member like me: don't be fooled by naked pregnant lady performance pieces or awesome stencils: art is a more unsettling and much more boring experience. (Did I mention that there was no beer?)
I left the giant castle slightly shaken up and eager to get back to The Wreck Room. After this experience, I'm fairly certain that's exactly where I belong.

PASADENA, Calif. — Confronting criminals is nothing new to actress Sasha Alexander. After all, she plays the nerdy medical examiner fighting crime with her tomboy partner in TNT's "Rizzoli & Isles," which returns tonight. And she was one of the intrepid investigators in the first two years of "NCIS."
But Alexander also managed a little crime busting in real life.
"When I was 19 years old I ended up in two very dangerous situations in a month. I was in a bank robbery, and I was held at gunpoint by some young gangsters," she says over a Cobb salad in a hotel restaurant here.
"When this happened to me, I was incredibly strong and clear. I was almost defiant in the way that I dealt with the situation ... In the bank robbery there was a woman in front of me as the men came in, who was an elderly woman, and I got so scared because he had a gun trained on her. So I stepped right in front of her, not even thinking. Even my move could've made him do something. I didn't think about it. So after the fact I went into a paralyzed state of shock," she recalls.
"A month later I was coming out of a restaurant and I had one of those pull-out radios because I had a Jeep, and some gang (members) in a car pulled up and trained three guns on my stomach and said, 'Give me your radio.'
"And I stood looking at their guns because they had some kind of strange tape on them — looking at them wondering whether they were real or not — not handing over my radio. I held on to it. I don't know why, maybe fear. Some big guys were walking by and the guy said, 'Let's get out of here.'
"He tugged at the radio and it fell, and they took off. Two days later they shot and killed a kid in the San Fernando Valley at an ATM. The same guys, in the same car. I got the license plate and the car and reported them, and read it in the paper. I had these really intensive experiences happen to me, and I was really strong in the moment. But afterward completely fell apart, nightmares," she shakes her head.
She says those experiences helped her in her work. "It's interesting because when you're playing a character you understand why somebody in that line of work would be very clear. But those things are (usually) outside of your life."
While it may not have been all bullets and bandits, Alexander's life has been more colorful than most. Her parents are immigrants (her father Italian, her mother Serbian) and she was an only child raised by her mom after her parents' divorce when Sasha was 5. Her father was an expert tailor who even fabricated her prom dress. Her mom was a travel writer who took the young Sasha all over the world
"I saw lots of poverty," she says. "My mom was raised in a Communist society and was really influenced by wanting to see how other people lived, and I think I went on that journey with her. I didn't realize as a kid how much that would affect me because that's your experience. But when I got to college and found most people I knew didn't even have a passport, I realized that I really had a truly life-changing experience through this part of my mother's life," says Alexander.
"I remember being in Israel when I was 16 and seeing girls in the mall with machine guns who were my age ... I had family that was in Sarajevo — where my grandma was from — who were pulled into the horrible war there. I had a cousin who was Serbian, his best friend was Croatian and the other best friend was Muslim, and all three boys were sent into different armies.
"They made a pact if they survived they would meet back at this beach in Montenegro two years later. I was there that summer and that cousin took me to Montenegro with him to see if they were there. I was 18 and remember going with him and waiting on this beach for days to see if his friends would show. And one did show up. He was missing an arm and was selling ice cream on the beach ... That changed me because people don't have the opportunity we have here. I remember in college feeling just that I can do anything because I have seen how other people live. They're not born into what we're born into."Comment on this story
She attended USC where she met her future husband, Edoardo Ponti, who was studying film in the graduate program. They were only casual friends, but eight years later they met again, and it became a whole new experience. "We went out and that was it," she grins.
"We were pregnant in a year and a half and getting married. It was the easiest — and I say that in a great way — the easiest thing that ever happened in my life. It felt like home."
Ponti, the son of Sophia Loren and Carlo Ponti, is a filmmaker. He and Alexander have two children, a daughter, 6, and a son, almost 2.

The Blessing
The room darkened, darkened until
our nakedness became a form of gray;
then the rain came bursting,
and we were sheltered, blessed,
upheld in a world of elements
that held us justified.
In all the love I had felt for you before,
in all that love,
there was no love
like that I felt when the rain began:
dim room, enveloping rush,
the slenderness of your throat,
the blessèd slenderness.
It's the birthday of John Updike, (books by this author) born in Shillington, Pennsylvania (1932). He was an only child, and he said, "I'm sure that my capacity to fantasize and to make coherent fantasies, to have the patience to sit down day after day and to whittle a fantasy out of paper, all that relates to being an only child."
His father lost his job during the Great Depression, and the family moved into a farm house 11 miles out of town. So Updike spent much of his childhood alone, reading or living in a dream world. He read The New Yorker magazine every week, and while he was still in high school, he began sending his cartoons, poems, and stories to The New Yorker. Even though everything was rejected, he kept submitting to them. He won a scholarship to Harvard, and when he was a senior, The New Yorker finally accepted his work, and after he graduated the magazine offered him a job.
But he didn't enjoy living in New York City, and he realized that he was a small-town boy. So he moved with his wife to a small town outside of Boston, and he supported his family by writing short stories about middle-class, white Protestant families. He said that his early stories "were written on a manual typewriter ... in a one-room office ... between a lawyer and a beautician, above a cozy corner restaurant. ... My only duty was to describe reality as it had come to me to give the mundane its beautiful due."
He wrote in detail about the love lives of his characters. Other writers, like Henry Miller or D.H. Lawrence, had written explicitly about sex, but they wrote mostly about bohemian characters. Updike wrote about the sex lives of ordinary suburban Americans.
His novels got mixed reviews many critics objected to the explicit sexual descriptions. He said: "The artistic challenge to me, as I saw it in the late '50s and mid-'60s, was to try to describe sex honestly as a human transaction, as a human event, and try to place it on the continuum of the personality, to write about it freely but not necessarily as an endorsement of sex. I don't think sex really needs an endorsement."
He published more than 20 novels, and more than 20 collections of short stories. He is best known for his Rabbit books: Rabbit, Run (1960), Rabbit Redux (1971), Rabbit Is Rich (1981), and Rabbit at Rest (1990). Rabbit is Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, a former high school basketball star who becomes a used car salesman.
John Updike died just a couple of months ago from lung cancer, on January 27, 2009. He was 76 years old.
It's the birthday of George Plimpton, (books by this author) born in New York City (1927). He founded the literary magazine The Paris Review. And he wrote more than 30 books, many of them about his adventures in professional sports: Out of My League (1961), Paper Lion (1966), and others.
It's the birthday of poet Michael Harper, (books by this author) born in Brooklyn, New York (1938). He was the son of a postal worker, and when he was eight years old his African-American family moved to a white neighborhood in Los Angeles, which he said was traumatizing enough to turn him into a writer. After college, he went to the Iowa Writers' Workshop. His first collection of poems was Dear John, Dear Coltrane (1970).
Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.®

Rated 5 out of 5 by Phil262 from Quick field dressing your chain I have been looking for years on a more efficient field dressing solution. This design is phenomenal! Worked on a fresh white oak this past week and every other tank I field dressed the chain. Suggest having the bar hold clamp. Works absolutely wonderful and quickly.Highly recommend this sharpening device for all your field sharpening needs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jas57 from best tool to use in field and home. I was looking at a way to sharpen that would be quick while in the field cutting. The local dealer told me the best way was just the files. He give me the ones I needed and I used them a few months and was still wondering about this high priced tool. I went back to the dealer and paid the high price for it. After the first time using it, it got easy to use, the other files I carried to the field got put on the shelf and never used again, I bought the extra replacement files, now not sure if I needed these, the ones on it cut great and will last a long time before the others will be needed. That high price...well it now is not so high, it does two jobs at one time and is very fast at it. I love this tool and is my go to tool every time now, easy to use, and worth every penny. Even beats my electric one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JakeBoostin from Excellent quick easy way to keep your chain sharp. i bought this 2 in 1 from my local stihl dealer, my chain was in rough shape. It took me about an hour to get my chain back to like new. My angles were off and depth gauge was way off due to a cheap sharpener kit. Now it takes less then 5 mins to quickly maintain the chain. This product saves a lot of time and will keep your chain like new. I am very happy i spent the money on it. I think if you own a chain saw.....this is for you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jimele from excellent for a beginner was a little concerned about cost, wasn't ready to toss it in the toolbox if it didn't work . was i surprised, i used it on a old chain, figured i couldn't ruin it, & it brought it back to life. only takes a few mins. to be back throwing chips. was a little intimidated at first due to lack of experience but it has become invaluable. no more paying for a lousy grinder job!

Rated 5 out of 5 by skiflyer from Beginner here... I've never sharpened a chainsaw before, I had no idea what I was doing, it took me about 10 minutes to get my chain sharpened and cutting like new again. I'm shocked at how easy it is to use and get it right. I can't compare to other methods, but I have no interest in exploring those given the ease of this product. Do get a stump (or some sort of other) vise to go with it, you need something to hold the saw still. Do watch youtube videos made by other people, the Stihl video is not helpful, and the instructions with the tool are pretty useless to a rank novice. But once you figure out the method, it's easy as can be.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MrMustang from Just the best engineered product on the market I've been using this sharpener for six weeks now what a great product! A bit pricey but well worth the Money So easy to use once you get the hang of it. I sharpen at the end of each day two or three strokes and she's ready to go back to work!! Love the sharp chain!!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by BruceP from OMG.... No more dull saws for me I can't believe how easy this sharpener is to use. The pictograph on the sharpener shows you how to do it. 3 or 4 stokes on each tooth and you've sharpened that AND cut the rakes to the correct height. It's that simple. With my 20" bar on my 291 it's like a 5 minute job to touch it up before every job. Now I always have a sharp saw. As time goes on, the files are replaceable too!

But Howes also played guitar and bass, sometimes all three instruments in quick succession, and sometimes adding loops to create a simultaneous string section. Drummer Cedric Easton and keyboardist Hamilton Hardin filled out the orchestra," but even with some fiery solo exploits, particularly from Easton, Howes's three-pronged array could have sufficed as a one-man/multi-instrumental showcase. His recent release, Out of the Blue, features guitarist Robben Ford, but here, Howes supplanted Ford with his own six strings (or, rather, his own 14-string arsenal), his loops allowing him to pick up the bass or violin while continuing the guitar vamp.
The first set of music included original compositions from the new albumthe title tune and Bobby's Bad" (in honor of Bobby Floyd), and from an earlier release, When She's Like Water" (based on a Cat Stevens tune). Out of the Blue" was the most compelling, Howes not only moving back and forth seamlessly from one ax to another but both Easton and Hardin taking their own spins, the music running the gamut from whiffs of Amazing Grace" to sensations of an electrified Stravinsky, and particularly on violin, Howes conjuring the intensity of John Coltrane's soprano.
Many musicians are multi-instrumentalists" and it is not unusual to see a saxophonist move across two reeds in a given composition. More unusual is an artist who can move through three instruments (four counting the loops) in a matter of a few bars, particularly when one involves alternating arco and pizzicato technique. And rather than a novelty act, make it all seem perfectly logical.
Out of the Blue is an intriguing and highly enjoyable recording, featuring not only Robben Ford but also pianist Tamir Hendelman, organist Bobby Floyd, bassist Kevin Axt and more. But I suspect it could have been just as successful had Christian Howes gone solo."

We adore submissions and would be happy to showcase almost any Iris piece made with effort and love that you send us!
1) Please go into the group's gallery and find the proper folder. ^^ Our Folders function as follows:

Fanart with Iris! Alone, with her Pokémon or paired is fine!

What is NOT Accepted into the Group
ART THEFT, you will also be reported and kicked out of the group for this one.
Screencaps/screenshots/official artwork posted normally or edited over. dA doesn't allow them, and we'll be in trouble for accepting them! The only expection dA seems to allow is stamps, so that's our exception as well.
General/random Pokemon work. This is a group for Iris, not a general Pokemon work so your art/fics/etc would be better off somewhere else.
ANTI-IRIS WORK. This includes, but is not limited to; pictures of someone killing Iris, work depicting Iris is a bad light and any ANTI-IRIS!PAIRING art. Especially for the pairing one, even if Iris isn't being degraded in it, we don't wanna start drama! Spread the love, not the hate!
----- "Bad light" means depicting Iris in a non-positive way that would upset Iris fans. For example, if the picture has Iris stabbing another girl in the work, Iris acting as the "mean girl" in a fanfiction or Iris abusing one of her Pokemon, then this will not be accepted. Any general hate art directly towards a certain other character, even if it isn't against Iris, will not be accepted.
----Pictures of Iris beating someone in a Pokemon battle or defending herself against an unknown assailant do not fall under "hate art". Pokemon battles are often friendly competitions and as long as the assailant is not another Pokemon character, then the artwork is perfectly acceptable to the group.
Anything that violates dA policy, such as GRAPHIC PORN-HATE ART-ETC.
---Since Iris is an underaged character, we do not accept "sexy" or "sexual" pictures of Iris because those go against the site's policy.
Affiliating with Iris-FC
1) We love affiliations and will happily affiliate with any PRO group, whether you're in the Pokemon fandom or not. ;D We love spreading the love, not the hate. :3
2) To affiliate, go to your group's page and click the "Affiliate" button near the top of the page. Put our name in and send out the request. C8
Question or concern not answered here? Just note the group or Deidarakitty then! I'd be happy to clear it up.

It may sound like something out of science fiction, but doctors at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., are making hearts. Not actual hearts, but three-dimensional synthetic models churned out by what looks like an ordinary printer.
The only one of its kind at a Washington area hospital, the printer uses data from individual patients to replicate the organs of those individuals, reflecting their particular intricacies and deformities. The device synthesizes images from CT scans or ultrasounds, translating that information into thin layers of plastic that are stacked until they form a three-dimensional object.
The technology, pediatric cardiologist Laura Olivieri said, "is amazing."
Olivieri said that holding the replica of a heart enables her to make connections that she could not when looking at the actual organ on a computer screen.
"Because you've got a three-dimensional problem," she said. "What we're all trying to do is reconstruct how far away X and Y are. But now you can just take (the model), and hold it, and look at it, and say, 'Oh, they're that far away.'"
Practice runs
In one recent case, Olivieri used a 3-D printer-produced model that she could take apart before the patient's surgery.
"The cardiac anatomy of this patient is very rare," said Olivieri. "And it's not like there's an FDA-designed device that will solve it." The model allowed her to "look at the anatomy in 3-D and do some practice runs where the patient isn't involved."
To help prep a surgeon who needed to close the hole in an infant's heart, Axel Krieger, a biomedical robotic expert at the center's Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation, created a model that used a mix of hard and soft plastics so the replica would feel like a real heart.
"We found the perfect combination of materials that actually allows you to place a suture through it or stick a needle through it," Krieger said. "It feels similar to tissue. You can make a valve soft but the surrounding tissue hard, and then the bone really hard. So you can have different levels of the mechanical properties."
Children's hopes to use the printer to create models for patients with rare or complicated conditions, and for those who need corrective procedures on complex congenital defects.
"Congenital heart disease is so structural," Olivieri said. "On some level, you can predict what a physiology is by looking at [a patient's] anatomy. So a picture can predict how sick or how well a patient can be. That makes congenital heart disease one of the perfect applications for 3-D printing."
Enormous potential
Though the possibilities of 3-D printing are enormous, the technology is still new, and it's expensive. The printer at Children's cost about $250,000. A high-end ultrasound machine can cost about $270,000, and a portable CT unit is about $550,000, according to Laurie Hogan, the director of radiology services at Children's.
Making 3-D models is also time-consuming. Just prepping ultrasound images for the printer can take many hours.
"The very first one I did was not even recognizable as a heart, and it probably took me like 25 hours to do," Olivieri said.
But doctors at Children's believe the investment is worth it.
"Complex congenital heart disease, thank goodness, is fairly rare," Olivieri said. But "this is something that's going to really help us take care of them."

Interesting research on kids and technology
"interesting" - yep that's one word for it.
Reads like a pamphlet on "Reefer Madness" or "The Dangers of Onanism".
Their use of the word "technology" is really bizarre - a see-saw is a piece of technology, is this included? a spoon is also a piece of technology, is that also included? what about nappies?
Thanks for pointing out my error in using the word technology. It''s quite an interesting article though isn't it?
Done by real doctors carrying out real research.
It's not your error iolo - it's hers:
"The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Canadian Society of Pediatrics state infants aged 0-2 years should not have any exposure to technology"
Right - no exposure to technology - so babies should apparently be raised in caves and fed on foraged fruit?
Done by real doctors carrying out real research.
What respected peer-reviewed journal was this article published in?
(And she's not a doctor. She's an occupational therapist and founder of a company that sells products to wean kids off this terrible drug of "technology")
Pirates and global warming
If the cave is naturally forming then that would be ok, but if you have specifically dug the cave in order to house the child then that would would be a piece of technology, and according to this research, would be detrimental to the child's development.
Foraged fruit is also fine, as long as you don't use any implements to feed it to them, or collect it, that would be dangerous to the child's development.
This does seem to be advocating the kind of society that the Amish would consider backward.
Is all technological everything equally bad? Is watching Yo Gabba Gabba (do not attepmt to find out more about this garbage you will regret it) interspersed with adverts for toys the same as solving puzzles on a tablet?
EDIT wait, she's against technology but sells products aiming to improve attention span? Has she ever seen a kid with a tablet?
Yep, she argues that "Early brain development is determined by environmental stimuli, or lack thereof" but that technology is "over-stimulating".
So what stimulates just the right amount? Well funnily enough it turns out that her $160 board game is just perfect
Well funnily enough it turns out that her $160 board game is just perfect
Now that definitely looks like pretty advanced technology to me.
When paper and ink started to be used in schools, there were concerns that kids wouldn't know how to properly use slates anymore.
And how many people can use a slide rule or a logarithmic tables now that everyone has these new fangled calculators.
How many people have forgotten how to spell simple words now that everyone has a smartphone/tablet?
Quite a few judging by this forum.
(Edited for grammatical errors :lol:)
'The children are our future. But children who overuse technology have no future.'
Apart from in technology, where they'll be experts. Can't see that being useful though. Anyway, best get back to moving my piece around the board to find out what my company will do tomorrow. **** me, a six! Get in
How many people have forgotten how to spell simple words now that everyone has a smartphone/tablet?
I'd say most folk spend a lot MORE time reading and writing these days thanks to technology.
Just think how much you read/write on this forum every day - and that's for "fun".
I agree that the board stuff is shit.
Making money on selling it is shit.
Most of the points raised are not shit though.
The points raised do make you think.
You can't disagree about that.
Most of the points raised are not shit though.
Not "shit" - but neither are they the evidence-based conclusions that she claims them to be.
The points raised do make you think.
You can't disagree about that.
That's true. They did create measurable neural activity. I can't disagree.
But did they make me re-consider my position on continuing to use appropriate tech to further my children's education and development? No. Not for a moment.
Books, apps, songs, games, and even TV - they all have a place IMO.

I agree, but it is quantity not quality.
Piss poor spelling is repeated with such frequency and text speak has encroached so deeply that we are arriving at the point where comprehension suffers.
Language morphs with every generation.
When was the last time you used an Ash or a long S?
A lot more than a generation ago.
I'm perfectly happy with language evolving, but that isn't what is happening, it is devolving.
Iolo has a point. There is a lot that needs to be discussed and thought about with regards 'technology'.
SOME kids TV is pretty awful - flashing whizz bang invasive hyper awfulness, and some is relaxing and delightful. I've seen lots of stuff written about kids and TV, but not one considered the actual content. They were all American, and US kids TV is far worse generally. Even the nice quiet shows have awful adverts inbetween. This is terrible imo, and our kids either watch CBeebies (and hardly any of that nowadays) or self chosen stuff on iPlayer/Netflix. No ads.
It's just another area where you have to think about what your kids are getting from something, and if it's what's good for them.
A lot more than a generation ago
Doesn't have to be.
For example, do you spell it "Encyclopedia", "Encyclopaedia" or "Encyclopædia" ?
"Pediatrics", "paediatrics" or "pædiatrics"? etc
These are pretty recent language changes.
Perhaps in 50 years time we'll be happily spelling "specific" as "pacific" and "ask" as "arks"
SOME kids TV is pretty awful - flashing whizz bang invasive hyper awfulness, and some is relaxing and delightful.
Agreed - but that is content not medium.
Similar could be said for some kid's literature for example - that doesn't mean we should discourage kids from reading, it just means we have to be selective. As we should be.
I watched "too much" TV as a kid. I also played computer games. Despite this I've become a functioning adult with a masters degree and a BMI of 21.
My kids also watch TV and use computers. They're managing to become pretty well rounded* little people.

Apologies if this sounds insulting, but from that statement I'm jumping to the conclusion that you aren't a scientist. Statements and ludicrous assertions do not become true, scientific "facts" just by putting a name after them in brackets (edlong, 2014).
Have you actually checked out any of the "evidence" cited in support of some very stark assertions? Maybe have a peruse of the references in the footnotes of the article. Oh no, sorry, there doesn't actually appear to be a proper list of citations at the end. Good luck googling from the random references in the brackets then.
I tried to find, for example "Rowan, 2010" as it apparently provides the evidence that backs up the statement that "Use of technology under the age of 12 years, is detrimental to child development and learning" but I got some stuff about a bishop and some bloke at the University of Bath who did Cassava: an appraisal of its phytochemistry and its biotechnological prospects.
This is bullshit (very badly) dressed up as science with a few stylistic cues that look vaguely like science if your last exposure to it was O Level Chemistry. Please apply some critical thought before promoting this crap as anything other than a sales and marketing tool that plays to the fears of parents in order to sell garbage.
Did it make me think? Yes, it made me think that there are some pretty cynical people out there who will try and make a quick buck by playing on fear and ignorance, and that there are plenty of idiots out there who buy this shit.

The points raised do make you think.
They do but not, I think, in the way you expected.
Like, ffs, look at this:
Sleep Deprivation
75% of children are allowed technology in their bedrooms (Kaiser Foundation 2010). 75% of children aged 9 and 10 years are sleep deprived to the extent that their grades are detrimentally impacted (Boston College 2012).
Let's take 2 different things which affect 75% of kids and just say, hey, that's the same number, the first must cause the second. That's not science, it's Snap. Incidentally Snap causes Card Dementia, you shouldn't let kids play Snap. Play healthy wholesome Movein instead.

These stations are Napier, Maxwell, Shenton Way and Marina Bay which will be stacked stations where the running tunnels are directly on top of each other instead of side-by-side as in island platform stations. As such, the platforms will be located on one side of the train as well. Here's an image of the tunnel set up at Marina Bay station.

text: Hi guys, I was looking for a cheap bass to get me started on a small modding project without risking too much. I found this Aria STB sunburst P-copy in the classified and paid 80$CA for it (advertised as a "jazz style guitar" ). The neck is in great shape and it`s just a breeze to play, so I will most probably keep it as a great classic/passive complement to my Ibanez SR400. It`s got great sustain with the current hardware on the strings that are not dead yet (3 of the strings are so corroded I wonder if I shouldn't go get a tetanus shot ). I was thinking at stringing it with flatwounds first, just to give it a try. Any suggestion at fitting flats for a P-bass ? I will probably try to find a S. Duncan SPB-1 or similar to replace the stock pickup. The tone pot crackles when turned and the input jack is rusty a bit, so I will swap those too. While I'm at it, I might as well get a new volume pot and .1uF cap and get all the electronics replaced. One thing I noticed is that it`s quite neck-heavy (dives a bit). I never played much on a P-bass before so I don`t know if it`s a P-bass standard, but that would be my only complaint. The body itself is on the light side, but the headstock with those humongous tuners adds quite a bit of weight. Is there any "light" P-bass tuners out there (while keeping the look) I could find ??? Other than that, the neck and current setup are great, but a fret job will be welcome. Cosmetically, a good and thorough cleanup will probably improve it a lot already. Theres a bunch of superficial stains and every possible hole is filled with dust. A red tort pickguard is also somewhere on the list of mods to do . Finally, if anyone knows if the build year is in their serial number, that would be a welcome info. All my google searches leads to information on 70s and 80s matsumoku-made instruments and this one is probably a later korean-made cheaper version (no "made in japan" or "matsumoku" on the neck plate, and it certainly doesn't look like it`s 20 years old anyways). The SN is CH091278, and it`s no more than a couple years old (and certainly not a 2009 .......). Anyways, I just felt like sharing that with the folks here and of course, pics to come in a couple minutes.

While there are many of the same items, the two in my area are radically different.
Food-wise these stores carry off-brand canned goods, spices, snacks, bread and frozen food.
There is also kitchen-ware and party supplies like paper plates and plastic cutlery.
EVERYTHING is $1 or less. Amazingly enough these stores are on the stock exchange and making money for their stockholders.
So, anything good here? How are the pickles ... for a dollar a jar, that seems like a deal. What about the spices ... McCormick size bottles all for $1. Kosher salt ... $1.
How are the canned veggies ... 2 for $1? They carry Latino cookies and products made with sugar and not HFCS.
My two stores:
250 San Pablo Towne Ctr (next to Albertsons)
San Pablo, CA 94806
(510) 235-9898
Everything bad you would imagine about stores in this category. Open boxes, dented cans, litter on the floors. Awful.
11555 San Pablo Avenue
El Cerrito, CA 94530
(510) 965-9973
The polar opposite ... sparkling clean and neat ... three times the size with a larger selection of food like fresh bread and tortillas. A frozen food section will be added in a month.
Neither store carries wine or beer.
Any thoughts about the Dollar Tree?

Jeremy Hobson: Well it's the holiday season, which for some Americans means it's bonus time. On Wall Street, bankers and traders are bracing for their bonuses. I say "bracing," because bonuses are likely to be smaller this year.
But as our New York bureau chief Heidi Moore reports, it's all relative.
Heidi Moore: It's bonus season on Wall Street. To anyone who works in finance, this one bonus payment will be a momentous validation -- or dismissal -- of an entire year's work.
Michael Driscoll now teaches at Adelphi University, but used to be a trader at Bear Stearns.
Michael Driscoll: Face it, nobody goes to work on Wall Street because they're trying to cure cancer or work for the greater good of the common man. You go to Wall Street because you want to make a lot of money.
Well, there's less money available this year. Banks have struggled to be profitable.
Alan Johnson heads a firm that advises Wall Street on how to pay its people. He predicts that bonuses will be down by one-third this year. That would still net the average senior investment banker around $900,000. But don't call it a bonus.
Alan Johnson: The average person doesn't realize how much the word "bonus" has caused more pain than just about any word I can think about. We think of "bonus" as being a tip, gratuity, extra. For many people on Wall Street, it's most of their pay.
Richard Lipstein, at Boyden Executive Search, explains.
Richard Lipstein: If someone made $1 million, it's likely that person made $200,000 in a base and $800,000 in a bonus.
And that $800,000 bonus wouldn't come in hard cash. Around 50 percent to 80 percent comes in the form of the bank's stock, and a banker may not be allowed to sell it for three years.
But money with strings attached is better than no money at all. Most banks are laying people off. Morale is low, Driscoll says.
Driscoll: It makes for a pall over the entire Street.
Lipstein says the layoffs are a bigger worry than the size of bonus checks this year.
Lipstein: A good number of the people I talk to are almost happy to have a job.
Which makes Wall Street more like the rest of America for once.
In New York, I'm Heidi Moore for Marketplace.

With the Assembly's passage Monday of the revised version of Chelsea's Law, all that awaits for its enactment is the promised signature of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
It will be tiny in contrast to their loss, but the measure should bring some solace to Kelly and Brent King, parents of Chelsea King, the Poway High School senior who was raped and murdered in February by convicted sex offender John Gardner III. The bill was crafted by Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher, R-San Diego, with the help of the Kings and a crucial assist from Senate Public Safety Chairman Mark Leno, D-San Francisco.
Its most publicized provision is its life sentence without chance of parole for almost all serious sex crimes against those 17 and younger with aggravating circumstances. But it also makes the public safer by increasing how long released violent sex offenders remain on parole with GPS monitoring; by implementing changes sought by the Sex Offender Management Board to focus on sex criminals who appear to be the greatest risk to reoffend; by improving the state's online sex offender database and more.
To address concerns about cost and prison crowding, Fletcher and Leno reclassified petty theft as a misdemeanor so those convicted of it would serve their time in county jail.
Recognition should also be given to Moe Dubois, the father of Amber Dubois, the Escondido 14-year-old who was Gardner's other local victim. Dubois worked with Assemblymen Pedro Nava, D-Santa Barbara, and Paul Cook, R-Yucaipa, on three thoughtful measures that won Assembly approval last week and also appear en route to enactment. They would:
•Require the state Attorney General's Office to set up a rapid response team to help find abducted children.
•Improve training for peace officers in searching for missing children to help improve response time to abductions.
•Require local law enforcement agencies to notify state and national information databases more quickly when children are missing.
The public is in debt to Kelly and Brent King and to Moe Dubois. The tragedies they suffered are unimaginable, yet they found it within themselves to respond in a way that will lessen the likelihood of future tragedies befalling other families in California. Nava, Cook and especially Fletcher also deserve our thanks.
But the work of state leaders is far from done. They must ride herd on the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to ensure the laws are implemented well. In March, officials both balked at releasing information about Gardner and strongly defended their oversight of him after his release. But after reviewing files kept from the public, the state inspector general issued a report in June that strongly suggested Amber Dubois and Chelsea King would still be alive if the department had handled its duties competently. In recent months, the agency has appeared much more open to reform. Still, its reputation of resisting scrutiny and fighting change was well-earned.

Near-Rationality, Heterogeneity, and Aggregate Consumption
The simple permanent-income model provides a good description of the medium-long run behavior of aggregate non-durables consumption, but fails to describe its short run behavior. In this paper I, present a non-representative agent model with near-rational macroeconomic units a la Akerlof-Yellen that simultaneously explains the observed excess smoothness of consumption to wealth innovations and the excess sensitivity of consumption to lagged income changes. This models also explains conditional asymmetries found in the data: in good times, consumers respond more promptly to positive than negative wealth shocks; while the opposite is true in bad times. In spite of the presence of large non-diversifiable idiosyncratic uncertainty, the estimated dollar equivalent utility cost of the macroeconomic near-rational strategy required to explain the aggregate facts is only about 0.037 percent of consumption per year, where [gamma] is the coefficient of relative risk aversion.

How can I make the titles of the featured thumbnails link to the post instead of opening in the slider above?
you can change the link behaviour of the featured images. Search for the "Apply link to the image?" option and select "Link to this post".
If I do that I get the lightbox overlay on the image, and my customer doesn´t want that. He just wants the title to link to the post.
You can turn off the lightbox symbol by choosing "no link" for the image.
That´s what I did. What I need now is a way to link the titles of the feature thumbs to link to the post, instead of opening in the slider.
Don't they do that anyway? Mine do…
No, the title main part of the slider does, but the title of the thumbnails underneath don´t. If I click them they show up in the main part above.
Oh, you mean the post title of the thumbnails under the slider? I see what you mean. I think you'd have to change the slider code because it doesn't look to be set up to do that. The idea of the thumbnails seems to be to open them into the slider where you can then link out to the post afterwards. Wouldn't it be easier just to remove the thumbnails and leave the big slider with all the featured posts on constant rotation?
If not, I'm sure dude can help you with the code you need.
That would be a good option.
If he could let me know how to do this I´d be very happy :o)
I'm sorry but as rumblefish pointed out the thumbnails are used as slider control buttons and it's not possible to link them to post/pages or external websites. To be honest I think it wouldn't be very intuitive to apply links to the small thumbnails because (nearly) all users expect the thumbnails to be control buttons and not links to other websites….
Isn´t it possible to remove them then?
Unfortunately my customer want´t the titles to link to the post.

How do I do a NOT IN with LINQ? I need to retrieve all records from one table which don't appear in a subset of another table. I'm working in VB. Thanks!
Here's what my SQL would look like:

Something like this...will give u the equivalent of NOT IN
var p1 = from player in Players
where !(from grpPlay in GroupPlayers where grpPlay.grp_id == 3 select grpPlay.usr_id).Contains(player.usr_id)
select player
you can also look at http://programminglinq.com/blogs/marcorusso/archive/2008/01/14/the-not-in-clause-in-linq-to-sql.aspx

KINGMAN, Ariz. — A former Carson City man who moved to Fort Mohave about a month ago was killed Tuesday in an officer-involved shooting. He was identified as Michael Alan Thomas, 47.
Mohave County sheriff's office spokeswoman Trish Carter said Deputy Sean Watson responded at 7:40 p.m. to a 911 call that Thomas made from a Fort Mohave pay phone. The caller had threatened to kill himself and possibly another person, Carter said.
Watson shot and killed Thomas when he charged the deputy with a knife near the fuel island of a grocery store in the 4800 block of Arizona Route 95, Carter said. Thomas was pronounced dead after he was taken to a nearby hospital.
Watson, a 6½-year sheriff's office veteran, was placed on paid administrative leave which is policy while officer-involved shootings are reviewed in the state.
The shooting will be investigated by Bullhead City police. It is customary for an outside police agency review such incidents.
It was the second fatal officer-involved shooting this year for the Mohave County sheriff's office, which has 92 certified peace officers.
An independent investigation of the previous incident determined that Deputy Jeff Davis was justified and acted in self-defense when he shot and killed a pipe-wielding assailant Sept. 4 in Kingman.
William Bonnee, 30, of Kingman was shot when he charged the officer after refusing repeated commands to drop his weapon.
