Super Sidebar Liquor and Beverage Dispensing System - Black Base
Description & Highlights
Super Sidebar Liquor and Beverage Dispensing System - Black Base
The Super Sidebar Liquor and Beverage Dispensing System (6500B) is the easiest and most efficient way to keep your guests entertained while enjoying yourself at the same time. No longer will you have to play bartender at your parties, but instead the compact, electronic dispensing system will automatically transport beverages from their original containers to your glass through the goose neck spout. You can safely store your supply bottles under counter tops or in any location up to 10 feet away from the dispensing spout.
Best of all, you can forget about messes - The Super Sidebar is a classy alternative to bulky bottles and cluttered counters, no spills or broken glass. It's easy to use and easy to install (comes pre-plumbed and pre-wired), will serve 5 (five) different spirits, wines or non-carbonated mixers at the touch of a button, just like having 5 of your favorites on tap! The unique, patented system incorporates Super Sidebar's programmable portion control (PPC) allowing the user to preset each of the five selections to dispense as little as 1 ounce. For example: The "VODKA" button can be set to stop dispensing after 1oz of liquid, while the "RUM" button will dispense as long as you hold it down. You can customize all 5 buttons to dispense any amount you want and interchangeable labels are included.
The dispensing system operates on either 110 volt AC (available as accessory) or 12 volt DC, making it ideal for use in your home, boat, outdoor kitchen, BBQ Island, recreational vehicle, limo or charter bus/motor coach. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Sidebar Dispensing Systems Includes:Vertical base with low-profile spout, horizontal base with goose neck spout, interchangeable button labels, 12 volt DC adapter and 5 (five) beverage dispensing hoses.
Electric Dispensing System:Five separate pumps transfer beverages from the bottles to your glass without inter-mixing
Less Clutter and No Mess:Safely store your supply bottles under counter tops or in any location up to 10 feet away from the dispensing spout – no chance for spills or broken bottles
Programmable Portion Control:Preset each of the five selections to dispense as little as 1 ounce with the push of a button

By NEMS Daily Journal
The Methodist writer and theologian Wessel Bentley, a South African who lives in Pretoria, released a new book late in 2012, "The Miracles of Jesus: Meditations and Prayers for Lent."
Bentley has said those miracles of 2,000 years ago can still change lives today.
Many agree with Bentley; many don't.
Finding out more, he suggests, is one good reason to journey through Lent, the season of prayer, self-denial and reflection in the weeks before Easter.
In an interview about the book, Bentley said, "Each miracle has a profound life lesson, which, if embraced, leads to personal transformation on a much grander scale. … To me, Lent is all about the process of letting go, leading to rebirth and new beginnings. To see change in people, the transformation from those moments of release to embracing something new which God leads us to is nothing short of miraculous. I am sure you have heard people say 'I will never change' or 'They cannot change.' Lent is the perfect journey in the Christian faith where that can be proven wrong. People can change! The miracles supply us with testimonies of how, when we open ourselves to the touch of God's love and presence, we can experience renewal. … If we want to change during Lent, I believe that the miracles hold a timeless effect of making us think about more than the obvious in the miracles."
Bentley also suggests miracles as usually understood – as unexplainable facts – are limiting.
"To me, miracles refer to moments of unexpected transformation, those times when a person's life is touched by the love and presence of God and they are changed forever. Not only are they changed, but this blessing spills over into the lives of others as testimonies are shared, attitudes change and perceptions are transformed. These are the greater and more lasting miracles we encounter."
Bentley also offers this observation:
"I think we make the mistake to believe that as soon as we are able to explain something, it ceases to be a miracle. Granted, spectacular and instantaneous miracles are not the order of the day, but what about recognizing the love and presence of God in that which we perhaps take for granted? The miracle of birth and life, or the miracle of a recovering alcoholic or the miracle of modern medicine to me are testimonies of transformation which are beyond our control, but perhaps not beyond our understanding. To take God out of these, to me is claiming for ourselves that which we cannot achieve on our own."
Bentley also suggests a visible miracle from his own culture: the transformation of South Africa after apartheid, the kind of racial divide with which most southerners share some kind of memory and perception, perhaps retaining old animosities.
Bentley comments, "With Job I stand astounded by God, not knowing the answers, and I think that those who claim to have answers miss the complexity of life. The words in the Bible, 'Now we see in a mirror dimly,' are quite apt for what I am trying to say."
The journey through Lent sometimes clears spiritual vision.

You've requested about a dozen comparisons in the past few weeks. I don't mind doing them but they do take time. If you're asking only out of curiosity, I recommend just reading the reviews. If you're actually looking to make a buying decision, it might be best for you to state what you're looking for. It's easier for me to say which fits your criteria better than to come up with a from-memory comparison of two products you might not even want in the first place.

Rabies Vaccine for Human Use
RabAvert, Rabies Vaccine, produced by Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics GmbH is a sterile freeze-dried vaccine obtained by growing the fixed-virus strain Flury LEP in primary cultures of chicken fibroblasts. The strain Flury LEP was obtained from American Type Culture Collection as the 59th egg passage. The growth medium for propagation of the virus is a synthetic cell culture medium with the addition of human albumin, polygeline (processed bovine gelatin) and antibiotics. The virus is inactivated with β -propiolactone, and further processed by zonal centrifugation in a sucrose density-gradient. The vaccine is lyophilized after addition of a stabilizer solution which consists of buffered polygeline and potassium glutamate. One dose of reconstituted vaccine contains less than 12 mg polygeline (processed bovine gelatin), less than 0.3 mg human serum albumin, 1 mg potassium glutamate and 0.3 mg sodium EDTA. Small quantities of bovine serum are used in the cell culture process. Bovine components originate only from the United States, Australia and New Zealand. Minimal amounts of chicken protein may be present in the final product; ovalbumin content is less than 3 ng/dose (1 mL), based on ELISA. Antibiotics (neomycin, chlortetracycline, amphotericin B) added during cell and virus propagation are largely removed during subsequent steps in the manufacturing process. In the final vaccine, neomycin is present at < 1µg, chlortetracycline at < 20 ng, and amphotericin B at < 2 ng per dose. RabAvert is intended for intramuscular (IM) injection. The vaccine contains no preservative and should be used immediately after reconstitution with the supplied Sterile Diluent for RabAvert (Water For Injection). The potency of the final product is determined by the NIH mouse potency test using the US reference standard. The potency of one dose (1.0 mL) RabAvert is at least 2.5 IU of rabies antigen. RabAvert is a white, freeze-dried vaccine for reconstitution with the diluent prior to use; the reconstituted vaccine is a clear to slightly opaque, colorless suspension.
What are the possible side effects of rabies vaccine (RabAvert)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
You should not receive a booster vaccine if you had a life threatening allergic reaction after the first shot.
Keep track of any and all side effects you have after receiving this vaccine. When you receive a booster dose, you will need to tell the doctor if the previous shot caused any side effects.
Becoming infected with rabies is much more dangerous to your health than receiving this vaccine....

HOUSTON – Defending 4A fast pitch champion Houston is living by the big inning so far in this year's MHSAA playoffs.
On Saturday, that big inning was a four-run fifth inning in which the Lady Hilltoppers (22-5) tied up the game at 4-4 on their way to a 5-4 walkoff win over Amory in eight innings to take first-round series in two games.
"We're the big inning type of team. We always seem to get behind and then push for the lead," Houston coach Keith Jernigan said. "We put the hits together and took a couple of walks at the right time, and we got ourselves disciplined with the bats."
Amory (20-8-1) got on the board first with a pair of runs in the third and fourth innings.
In the third, Alex Stevens and Briana Sloan drew walks to open the inning, and Stevens scored on an error on a pickoff attempt at third base. Bailey Oswalt and Bailey Boyd each added infield singles, and Aynslee Willis' sacrifice fly gave Amory a 2-0 lead.
Shelby Thornton scored in the fourth when Stevens reached on an error, and a fielder's choice from Oswalt added another run.
Leadoff hitter Chelsea Gates' two-run double ignited the Lady Toppers' offense in their four-run fifth. Mary Kansas Sullivan reached on an error to plate Josie Anderson, and a groundout from Avery Springer tied the game up.
"We responded a lot better today than we did last night," said Amory coach Amir Hunt, whose Lady Panthers lose no one from this year's team. "We've had an incredible year, and our girls have fought hard. I expect next year to be even better than this year."
Springer earned the win in relief, giving up just one Amory hit, and scored the winning run on a sacrifice fly from Madeline Burdine after being placed on second to start the bottom of the eighth.
"Avery came in and got the job done," Jernigan said. "She's a gamer and a winner, and she was pushing our team the whole way. They responded to her, and she did a great job pitching today."

I just moved my blog to geekshow.blogspot.com. Good bye, advogato!
I just moved my blog to geekshow.blogspot.com. Good bye, advogato!
In the last few days, the Ars Electronica Festival was going on. There were quite a number of interesting talks and panels. I especially enjoyed those about copyright, DRM, DMCA, intellectual property and all that stuff. Cindy Cohn was giving much insight on what's going on in the US regarding all that kind of stuff, and IMHO, she was definitely the highlight, and so thought many other people, because most questions that were asked by the audience were directed to Cindy.
After watching the panel on Tuesday, I sat together with Erich Moechel and Tim Pritlove, chatting a bit and listening to several quite interesting stories. Tim then showed us nice pictures from the Chaos Communication Camp, including a 360 degree panorama shot.
After that, I met Tamer, Kyrah, Thomas Warwaris and OJ, and OJ showed us parts of the AEC including an exclusive demo of the currently on-going port of Unreal Tournament to the AEC's CAVE.
The first day was not really interesting -- the lectures were actually pretty boring, and hardly anything was going on. Not much to tell about it.
On the contrary, the second day was quite interesting. First of all, I held my lecture on network intrusion detection with cinderella. Many people attended my lecture, and tent A was almost full, although the lecture was at "high noon". The questions from the audience were quite good, and nobody was out to flame me. Unfortunately, I rushed through the lecture too quickly, so it actually took only 40 to 45 minutes, including the Q&A with the audience.
Other lectures I went to was the one about software patents by FFII, the SIMD hacking lecture by Felix von Leitner, the Hacker Jeopardy that was organized by `Sec` and the pretty weird Nazi UFOs lecture.
After that: social events! We partyed with the quintessenz guys, and it was definitely a good party. During that, some 2600 guy told us that there was a huge orgy going on in the cypherpunks tent, so we went there. All we found were about 10 people sitting around and chatting (IRL). Then, they showed us a pretty funny website: www.haXXXor.com. There you can buy a DVD showing hot women reading manpages, configuring Apache and describing installation from source while taking off their clothes. They showed this DVD at the OpenBSD tent. After that, we went back to quintessenz, had another beer, and then I went to bed.
We arrived yesterday in Berlin, and stayed at Sven Guckes' place. We showed us all the important places in Berlin, which was quite interesting.
Today, we went to the camp ground in the early afternoon. The camp ground, which is located 30 km away from Berlin, in Altlandsberg, is beginning to fill. We are staying with the guys from quintessenz. Hopefully, some other guys from at.linux and people from CNGW will arrive at midnight.
Currently, most people are still building up their tents. So, the camp will hopefully fill tomorrow.
Yesterday, I took snort's TCP state machine, translated it to Ruby, and built it into cinderella. So, finally, I've got a nice decent state machine that is quite fast (faster than my own, broken one) and work's correctly.
The slides about cinderella are already prepared, so I'm already looking forward to doing my lecture at the Chaos Communication Camp. (I'm mentioning this so often, see how excited I am? :-)
Recently, my brother gave me a nice CD, "Music Monks" by a band called Seeed. Pretty cool reggae, ragga, dancehall. I can only recommend it.
My lecture at the Chaos Communication Camp is now in the official conference schedule: http://www.ccc.de/camp/2003/conference/event/533.en.html
Sync2NAS is not really a lot of fun in unswitched 10 MBit environments. ;-( Too many collisions.
MS Office sucks. Suddently, MS Outlook wanted to install some missing components, while it was running as non-privileged user, so it couldn't, and stuck in some kind of infinite loop. On the other side, I'm so happy that I don't have to work with that crap.
On the other side, Sync2NAS looks pretty good. Sync2NAS is a free mirroring solution for Windows, and it's based on rsync. Actually, it's a frontend to rsync, written in Perl/Tk. I haven't looked at the executable file, but the developer doesn't give away the source. But I got it already. :-) (in case you have sf.net account, have a look in /home/groups/s/sy/sync2nas on shell1.sf.net).
Yesterday and today, I built a system completely based on dietlibc (mostly). It uses dietlibc as C library and several components from www.fefe.de. And: the system just rocks!
The memory usage after boot and first login is 3.7 MB of RAM, which is so awesome. These 3.7 MB include a kernel of 750 kB (that's the size of the vmlinuz image, which is actually compressed), 4 instances of fgetty, a running sshd, and properly mounted filesystems. The time it takes from the last kernel message to the login prompt is less than 1 second. That is due to the fact that the minit init system is not based on shell scripts, but only compiled code, which makes it extremely fast.
After installing a few more utilities I think I'll be able to make it completely self-hosting.
It looks like my lecture about cinderella at the CCC Camp has been taken:
Only two more weeks 'til CCC Camp, and I'm already soooo excited! :-)
Customers suck, they only make problems. Doing support keeps one away from the actual work. What also makes problems are old houses with thick walls, since you can't use WLAN inside of them. WLAN at one of our customers (with such thick walls) is extremely flakey and unstable because of that, as I realized today. You do not even get a good, reliable connection 10 meters away from the access point!
Today, I did some work on dietlibc, I simplified the malloc/free routines, until I realized that, with my modifications, any program linked against the dietlibc and allocating small chunks of memory will be a memory-eating monster. Anyway, my patch still simplifies the malloc/free routines, so that they're much easier to understand. Currently, I don't know whether I will even publish this patch.
Today, I also got my answer regarding my patches for config.{guess,sub} so that these two well-known and often used scripts manage to detect dietlibc. When I compile and links programs with dietlibc, I want to have "i686-pc-linux-dietlibc" instead of "i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1", since programs linked against dietlibc are most likely _not_ GNU software.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

July 1st is fast approaching.....
.....so, what's on the agenda besides nachos and Molson?
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Ha! Nachos... what Canadian likes those?
We're taking our kids to see my parents, then I think we're going down to a public park for some general festivities - live music, maybe some fireworks if they can stay up late enough.
Down in Windsor, Ontario (which borders on Detroit) they have a joint celebration called the Festival of Light - it's a MASSIVE fireworks display that draws people from hundreds of miles around. Try getting a hotel room in either city this weekend!!!
This Canada Day (July 1st) will be our 140th national birthday. Of interest, it is also the anniversary date of the RCMP - our first Prime Minister, John A. MacDonald, instated the Northwest Mounted Police on July 1st 1874. Knowing IS half the battle.....
Ahhh Canada Day....
On slate for the mabudonicus household, we're hosting a meeting (10 am to 2 pm) of the Ontario (Canadian, really, we have members from almost every province but only the local, largest contingent is comin out) Carnivorous Plants Society. Should be a good time, lots of folks talkin plants, trading plants and generally goofing off
Today, the lead-in to Canada Day- should be having an assembly of some of our "classic" buddies today- we got started yesterday and got a tad overenthusiatic so Ange/Elf is right now trying to put the pieces of her mind back together as we ended up partying with a couple of good friends who had nothing but hard liquor to drink last night.
There should be fireworks at the "Friendship Festival" which happens in the Fort Erie/Buffalo crossing area bewteen here and the US, and a bit more locally a nice display at Port Dalhousie- the original Lake Ontario end of the Welland Canal, which in the mid 1800's joined Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. The current Canal is the fourth incarnation and terminate a couple of mile east of the original. The original also had some 38 locks, whereas the "modern" one only has 8, with locks 1 through 6 being in St.Catharines.
I have no clue what today will bring, but I'm pretty confident that it will turn out to be classic Canadian fun. Canada Day generally brings out the best in many folks tho, so I imagine with the beauty weather this one will be awesome Iso & Baws
All forumites are invited to our Canada Day fest
Something about him reminds me of my older brother, Rex.
It's a blacked-out blur but I'm pretty sure it ruled.
Arse rockets eh?? I KNEW we'd forgotten something, thanks for the reminder laddie Iso & Baws
Cappy just invited us to an Independence Day celebration of epic proportions- I should start riding now if I plan on being there
Something about him reminds me of my older brother, Rex.
We're going to a friends place to, well, drink beer, eat steaks, drink more beer, and camp over night...tomorro.w
Today is my and my wife's 5th Anniversary - we're ditching the kids this afternoon and will return tomorrow...What we are doing, and were we are going - no one else will know....
To those that like to critize me, I say: It is a lot easier to say something critical than it is to say some thing while tied up and in my trunk. - Jack Handy
Yep, Canadians are the only group to measure the length of drives in the number of beers one can drink on the way. "How far is it?" "Oh, 4 or 5 beers."
happy birthday Canada ! enjoy the day all you Canadian SSGers.
And parts of Montana are also were like that. The real rural areas and places like Butte and Miles City are notorious for such actives. Until recently Montana had some of the worst laws (or lack of laws) on drinking and driving in the US.

IMO - giving something at Santa time to someone like the birdboys reeks of a selfish action though laudable that the recipient is someone who can use it. How many of you increase the tip at Xmas or add something extra for the tradespeople who wait on you all year. Or give to the truly needy with a donation to some worthwhile charity.
I can remember recently taking our son's family to dinner at a mid scale restaurant to celebrate 2 B-days. When the bill came I paid + a healthy tip, both in cash - the waitress came back & inquired if I had done that intentionally or had made a mistake. When I told her it was intentional she stated "I wish all the folks who ate here felt like you".
I don't know about most of you but I was there at one time, it's nice to feel that someone recognizes your effort, even verbally.

Someday your life will flash before your eyes. It's your responsibility to make sure it's worth watching!
A bottle or two of Ken Bora's syrup makes an excellent gift.
I think Kens syrup, food and booze are great gifts for friends or customers.
But I also think that CASH is the gift of choice for assistants and bird boys.
They may need the money to make it to family for the holiday, buy groceries, gifts etc.
No matter what you do, Do something!!!
Happy Holidays,
Gregg Leonard
I took care of my Pro's assistant this past Wednesday when I was down working with him and my pup. The last 4-5 years I've done something for Thanksgiving and Christmas for his assistant.

Description of Research ExpertiseResearch Interests
Intermolecular and cellular interactions in blood clotting, fibrinolysis, and atherosclerosis studied by molecular biophysical methods.
Key words: Intermolecular interactions, integrins, adhesive proteins, platelet aggregation, blood clotting, fibrinolysis, structural biology, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, computer image processing, viscoelasticity, fibrinogen, fibrin clot, plasminogen, osteopontin, plasminogen, atherosclerosis, hemostasis, thrombosis.
Description of Research
The research in this lab has focused on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of blood coagulation, fibrinolysis and atherosclerosis, as analyzed through the use of various biophysical and structural techniques, including visualization of molecules and supramolecular aggregates and measurements of mechanical properties of cellular and extracellular structures. We are investigating the function of various domains of fibrinogen using recombinant fibrinogens and dysfibrinogenemias, as well as conformational changes that occur. Structural studies designed to elucidate the intermolecular interactions in all steps of fibrin clot formation and fibrinolysis are being carried out. Relationships between clot structure and mechanical properties are also an important part of this work. Molecular mechanisms of the dissolution of the clot by the fibrinolytic system are under investigation. The interactions of integrins with various adhesive proteins and with the cytoskeleton is also a focus of research, especially in platelet aggregation and cellular and extracellular matrix interactions in atherosclerosis. The results of these studies have implications for basic mechanisms of protein-protein and protein-cell interactions as well as for clinical aspects of hemostasis, thrombosis and atherosclerosis.

Assignment: Education - SLP Shortage Part 2
The SLP shortage in Wisconsin is an issue of supply and demand.
TOMAH, Wis. - When you're in the business of educating students, facing a shortage that keeps you from providing a service can be difficult.
"I think the two biggest emotions are a great deal of sadness and a great deal of frustration," said Cindy Zahrte, Tomah School District superintendent.
This year, the Tomah School District had to send a letter to about half of their speech therapy students telling them the district can't provide them with that service at this time.
"We understand their disappointment and their frustration," said Zahrte. "And we feel the same way."
That's because the district has spent months trying to find SLPs to fill two open positions in their school system.
Lisa Klein's Question: "Have you gotten applicants for these two positions?"
"No," said Paul Skofronick, Tomah School District director of pupil services. "Like I said, there's no one out there."
And here's why. In order to be a speech and language pathologist you have to have a masters degree. The total number of students applying to Graduate Communicative Disorders Programs last year in Wisconsin is just under 15-hundred. Of those students, only 154 are accepted into the programs. Why so few? It's because of regulations.17741348
"Those requirements are fairly stringent," said Dr. Marie Stadler, UW- Eau Claire Communication Sciences and Disorders department chair. "And one of them that is most costly, in terms of resource,s is the personel to supervise each one of those students individually a minimum of 400 clinical clock hours during the time that they're in the graduate program."
UW- Eau Claire is one of seven universities in Wisconsin to offer a graduate program. The university graduates between 16 and 20 students a year. And to make the shortage even more pronounced, not all of those students will decide to work in Wisconsin schools.
"So, even given the number of students we're able to graduate every year, along with our sister universities in the state, many of those graudate students will go on to work in hospitals or nursing homes or birth to 3 or private practice or, of course, move out of state," said Stadler.
And there's another factor. If a graduate decides to work in a Wisconsin School District, they also have to be certified by the Department of Public Instruction.
"The licensing requirements that we have... that we have to follow in order for someone to be a highly qualified educator to work in the school system... basically is very difficult, very rigorous programming," said Skofronick, "and it does limit the number of candidates that you can find."
So the Tomah School District is working with the DPI to do everything it can to work towards a solution to the problem. The district plans to hire aides to help take care of paperwork for the SLPs, and also make some changes to the therapists' schedules.
"We've moved to a 3:1 model where our therapists are working three weeks specifically with students and one week working on paperwork," said Zahrte. "With the idea if an appointment is missed, we're able to pick that appointment up during that fourth week of service."
But the district knows its efforts aren't going to solve the problem. A problem which is bigger than just one individual school district.
"We want to be providing those services," said Zahrte. "We need to as a state, the DPI, the Speech Language Association... we've go to get people together. We have an obligation to get people together to solve this problem."

Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, with the lowest government expenditures on health care. Although prevalence data are few, hypertension is reported in greater than two-thirds of adults over age 40. Poverty, lack of education, political instability, and lack of resources all contribute to an excess burden of chronic illness. We propose to develop a diabetes treatment program which will deliver the three most cost effective interventions in developing countries: glycemic control in poorly controlled patients, blood pressure control, and foot care in high-risk individuals. Culturally appropriate educational materials will be developed and made widely available to the community.

Family releases statement in South Wayne homicide
Police name homicide victims, person of interest
DARLINGTON, Wis. - Relatives of the three victims in Sunday's triple homicide in Lafayette County are thanking the community members for their support, while law enforcement officials continued to investigate the case.
Gary Thoreson, 70, his wife Chloe, 66, and his brother Dean, 76, all were found dead at a home on the 9000 block of Philippine Road in rural South Wayne, Wis., Sunday, according to Lafayette County Sheriff Scott Pedley.Community members fondly remember South Wayne homicide victims
Late Monday, the pastor of the Wiota Lutheran Church where the Thoresons attended released a statement from the family about the events of the past two days.
The statement says,"It is hard for the family to find words to express everything that is going through their minds...they are shocked, devastated and raw as they are filled with utter sadness."
However, the family also thanked the community for their support during this time of tragedy.
"These victims are such stellar, highly respected people, great business people, been very successful in the community in their farming, and they're just very nice," Pedley said of the Thoresons.
Dale Schleim, a neighbor to the couple, described them as excellent businesspeople who were known for selling hogs.
"There is nobody in the world who is better than these people," Schleim said. "This kind of got to me. They're a close-knit family, like ours is."
Gene Christensen, another neighbor to the victims, expressed his shock at losing his friends.
"You just can't fathom what has happened, and we can't find words to explain how sad we are for their loss," he said. "What can you say to the family? It's just a sad situation."
Christensen added the incident has instilled fear.
"It's just scary, that something like that can happen in your area. I shouldn't even say it, but we don't lock our door, and now you're ready to lock your door," he said.
Neighbor Lisa Aeberhard echoed Christensen's thoughts.
"You live out here, and most people wouldn't think you'd have to lock your doors way out here, so it's pretty scary," she said.
The Thoresons regularly attended Wiota Lutheran Church, according to the Rev. Luke Smetters. He said Gary Thoreson served on the school board and was an avid woodworker, and Dean Thoreson served his community on the Lafayette County Board.
Wiota Lutheran Church will hold a vigil in their honor Wednesday, according to Smetters.
"This community knows how to band together," Smetters said. "They've done that in the past. They're a community of faith. The community at large in Wiota and in all of Lafayette County will band together once again."
Waukesha police have also named the person of interest being held in connection with the triple homicide.
Waukesha police said they were asked by Lafayette County to detain Jaren Kuester, 31, of Waukesha, in Waukesha in connection with the investigation.
Pedley said the victims and the person of interest didn't know each other. He declined to speculate on theories of motive for the crime.
"These communities are filled with very good and decent people, and when these tragedies strike, it becomes our job to move beyond the emotion and do it by the numbers and hold those people accountable for those criminal behaviors that we found in this particular case," Pedley said.
Keuster was taken into custody just before 3 p.m. Sunday and turned over to Lafayette County. A truck belonging to one of the victims was located in a parking lot in Waukesha adjacent to an apartment where Kuester was located, according to investigators.
In a news release Sunday, Pedley said there was extensive evidence crime lab employees needed to collect at the crime scene.
The Sheriff's Department said it received a report of a deceased individual found by a family member at about 9:53 a.m. Deputies responding to the call found two other bodies at the residence, the statement said.
"The danger to our community, as it relates to the homicide investigation, is now over," Pedley wrote in the statement.19931764
The State of Wisconsin Crime Lab personnel and state Division of Criminal Investigation were assisting the Sheriff's Department at the scene, the statement said.

text: To visit Hebron is to steep yourself in Jewish history as you walk in the footsteps of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Joshua, King David and the Maccabees. The gigantic Tomb of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs attests to the antiquity of Hebron's traditions – its walls date back at least 2,000 years. This tomb, and Jewish presence in the city throughout many centuries, gave Hebron the status of one of the "four holy cities" of the Land of Israel. In the 19th century, a group of Chabad Hassidim also made their home here. The sacred traditions and history of Hebron come alive at many sites in the city. In addition to the Cave of Machpela, the tomb of Avner Ben-Ner, King David's commander, is also a place of prayer. The Jewish Quarter's Avraham Avinu synagogue was built the Middle Ages; it was restored after the Jewish community was reestablished following the 1967 Six Day War. Beit Hadassah, a clinic founded in the early 20th century, now houses a museum as well as apartments. Tel Rumeida is another Jewish section of Hebron, where excavations have revealed remains from the time of the kings of Judah, including the city gate.

Orchestra opens season with alumni soloists
Posted October 14, 2009; 03:54 p.m.
The Princeton University Orchestra, under the direction of Michael Pratt, will open its 2009-10 season at 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, and 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 25, in Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall. The concerts will feature solos by two acclaimed Princeton alumni.
The concert will open with Sergei Prokofiev's setting of the Hans Christian Andersen tale "The Ugly Duckling," to be sung by soprano Martha Elliott. Elliott, a 1982 graduate, has been heard many times by Princeton audiences in opera, concert, chamber music, new music and early music performances. She has appeared at major U.S. festivals and has sung internationally. She is a founding member of the Richardson Chamber Players and teaches voice at the University.
The program then moves to Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 22 in E-flat, played by pianist Jennifer Chu, a 2006 Princeton graduate. Chu, who is a doctoral fellow at the Juilliard School, has toured as a recitalist throughout Spain, performed in venues such as Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center and Carnegie's Weill Recital Hall, and is a member of the New Juilliard Ensemble. Both Elliott and Chu were awarded the Helen and Isadore Sacks Prize for performance upon graduation from Princeton.
The orchestra also will perform Maurice Ravel's Spanish-flavored "Alborada del Gracioso" and the Ninth Symphony of Dmitri Shostakovich.
Tickets are $5 for students, $15 for senior citizens and $18 for the general public. They can be purchased at the Frist Campus Center box office or Richardson Auditorium box office, or through University Ticketing.

Here we go again everybody! The spring hunts are just around the corner and we might as well start the fun!
For those of you that are new to this: What are we talking about? ....It's the T&TH Forum members spring gobbler team hunt contest!!
To get things rolling along, we are going to go ahead and start registering participants. First and foremost, the contest is "just for fun"! There are no prizes,...unless you consider being able to needle your buddies for a while to be a prize.
Everybody that wants to participate in the contest should sign up under this thread. The final day for signing up will be February 28th. Teams will be determined shortly thereafter. Total number of teams and team members per team will be based on the total number of participants we end up with.
First thing....Just like last year, every entrant must agree to participate within the spirit of the contest by agreeing to the oath as follows:
Oath of Ethics and Participation: I understand that this contest is completely on the honor system. I agree to compete fairly and ethically in the contest. Further, I pledge to participate fully in the contest and accurately and truly report the results of my hunting this spring . By signing up for the contest, I agree to abide by the Oath.
If you can't abide by the oath, don't enter the contest! If you get all fired up and enter the contest and then disappear on us before the end, we have a special "task force" that will come hunt you down! :D
This is how the contest works:
The number of teams and number of team members on each team will be determined by the number of forum members that sign-up; Teams will be determined mostly at random, but with some consideration for the experience and expectation of success of those that sign up to play. We want to have a mix of experienced hunters that will likely kill one gobbler (or more) combined with less experienced hunters that may not be as likely to harvest a gobbler.
The sign-up information will be used to categorize each entrant in the contest so that we can create teams of approximately equal experience and expectation of success. After all the entrants have been categorized, the teams will be chosen randomly from within each category as much as possible.
a) the winning team will be determined first of all by the total number of team members on each team that kill a gobbler. For example, if a team consists of ten members and each team member kills a gobbler and no other team accomplishes that, then that team is the winner.
b) First tie-breaker....if two or more teams tie, then the winning team will be determined by the total number of mature gobblers in each teams score from the above (jakes killed will be subtracted from the team score)
c) Second tie-breaker...if two or more teams tie in the first tie-breaker, then the winner will be determined by the total number of gobblers (jakes and mature) killed by each team during the season. (each team adds up the total number of gobblers killed by team members for the season)
It would be nice to have everybody post photos of their birds, and we would like to see a single thread where everybody posts pictures if they can get it done. However, picture posting is not a requirement. Please try to take good pictures to post...recommendations...clean the bird up, smooth the feathers, respectful pose with good background, hunter smiling, take in the sun (if possible) to show feather coloration, etc.
The contest will run until everybody who is participating in the contest is finished hunting this spring. I suspect the final tally will be made around the 1st of June, or thereabouts.
If anybody has any questions about any of this, feel free to ask.
Most importantly,....have fun, and hunt safely and ethically!
Good Luck to everybody!
Sign-up information needed: (this information will be used to aid in placement of team members)
1) Your forum name
2) Your location and subspecies of turkey you will be hunting this spring
3) Your estimation of your hunting experience: beginner, some experience, very experienced (choose one)
4) Your estimation as to how many gobblers you think you will harvest this spring: 0, 1, 2-3, 4 or more (choose one)

Random Walk and the Heat Equation - Gregory F Lawler
This volume is based on classes in probability for advanced undergraduates held at the IAS/Park City Mathematics Institute (Utah). It is derived from both lectures (Chapters 1-10) and computer simulations (Chapters 11-13) that were held during the program. The material is coordinated so that some of the major computer simulations relate to topics covered in the first ten chapters. The goal is to present topics that are accessible to advanced undergraduates, yet are areas of current research in probability. The combination of the lucid yet informal style of the lectures and the hands-on nature of the simulations allows readers to become familiar with some interesting and active areas of probability.
The first four chapters discuss random walks and the continuous limit of random walks: Brownian motion. Chapters 5 and 6 consider the fascinating mathematics of card shuffles, including the notions of random walks on a symmetric group and the general idea of random permutations.
Chapters 7 and 8 discuss Markov chains, beginning with a standard introduction to the theory. Chapter 8 addresses the recent important application of Markov chains to simulations of random systems on large finite sets: Markov Chain Monte Carlo.
Random walks and electrical networks are covered in Chapter 9. Uniform spanning trees, as connected to probability and random walks, are treated in Chapter 10.
The final three chapters of the book present simulations. Chapter 11 discusses simulations for random walks. Chapter 12 covers simulation topics such as sampling from continuous distributions, random permutations, and estimating the number of matrices with certain conditions using Markov Chain Monte Carlo. Chapter 13 presents simulations of stochastic differential equations for applications in finance. (The simulations do not require one particular piece of software. They can be done in symbolic computation packages or via programming languages such as C.)
The volume concludes with a number of problems ranging from routine to very difficult. Of particular note are problems that are typical of simulation problems given to students by the authors when teaching undergraduate probability.
This book is published in cooperation with IAS/Park City Mathematics Institute.
Advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and research mathematicians.
"Well-written booklet ... The authors ... present topics that are accessible to advanced undergraduates and ... show the appeal of parts of modern probability, and make the lectures very attractive."
-- European Mathematical Society Newsletter
"This nice, short monograph contains material from lectures and computer labs held at the IAS/Park City Mathematics Institute. The lectures present areas of modern probability theory that are current areas of research. The material is accessible to undergraduate students with a modest background in probability. This collection of lectures will be an excellent supplement to any intermediate probability course."
-- Journal of the American Statistical Association
"In less than a hundred pages, Lawler and Coyle set out what a student should really know after a course in probability theory learned from a text maybe four times the length, but written in a style students should find accessible before they take any such course. Almost from the start, the authors describe the unsolved problems that fire current research both to inspire the undergraduate and to clarify the current shape of the theory. Highly recommended."
"It is a beautiful ... book of high pedagogical value, easy to read, and focusing on the ideas rather than mathematical rigor of completeness."

Browsing Youtube for some B-17 Flying Fortress WWII footage I came across The War Lover with Steve McQueen and Robert Wagner. You can watch most of it there though I think they are missing some of the romance parts of the story which would explain McQueen's character's one crazy mofo attitude.

Polar Storm, it was on SyFy today. Very crusty, long story short an asteroid hits the earth and the earth's magnetic system goes screwey. So to fix this a scientist goes to the bottom of the Marianas (sp?) trench in a Russian diesel sub and detonates two 50 killatown nukes. Did they survive you ask? Yup, they 'rode' a thermal vent up thus avoiding the shockwave.
The last half of Speed. I would imagine that this film today a) would just HAVE to be in 3-D, b) not be made due to the public attacks/terrorism motif in it, c) would've replaced most of the physical effects with CGI, thereby taking away from the suspense, d) would've been primed for a sequel.

I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Rocketboy mentioned "This Film is Not Yet Rated" so last night I went ahead and watched it on Netflix.
It was okay, pretty interesting. Though it was obvious that the film makers had their own agenda from the start. Still there was some good stuff in there about the MPAA, the appeals process, etc.
May the force be with you.
[edit] I just looked it up and saw that it was an UK-produced feature which may be the reason I haven't seen it before...it may not have been too popular on this side of The Pond and has resided over there...

I watched Iron Man and Transformers today. I also watched both of the football games and some Storage Wars.
Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!
Just saw The Green Hornet. It was ok.
Seth Rogen and Cameron Diaz are definitely the weak spots in the cast. Jay Chou and Chrisoph Waltz were far better.
The script and pacing both have some issues.
The 3D wasn't bad. I've heard its the best post-converted 3D yet, but I haven't seen any other post-converted films, so I can't compare.
Despite my problems with it, I'm not mad that I saw the movie. There are some cool action scenes and some good comedy.
