Unlicensed gun dealer gets 3 years' probation, forfeits 314 weapons, $38K
A Waushara County man has been sentenced to three years of probation for selling guns without a license, but also forfeited more than 300 weapons and $38,432 cash seized when he was arrested back in 2007.
James Schrader, 71, of Wild Rose pleaded guilty in May to one federal count of illegal gun sales from 2005 to 2007. Two other counts were dismissed. The offense carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Schrader was sentenced Aug. 31 by U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman, who also required Schrader to perform 10 hours of community service each year he is on probation.
Schrader's grandson, Cody Sustman, stole guns from his grandfather and sold 30 of them to felons in Milwaukee. He sold the gun used in the 2006 murder of Joseph Munz, a Jimmy John's delivery driver.
Sustman was convicted of selling guns without a license and sentenced to nearly three years in prison.
According to court records, Schrader once had a license to sell guns but it expired in 1991. He kept selling at 10 to 12 gun shows a year, averaging about $1,500 profit at each one. In late 2006 and early 2007, Schrader sold handguns to undercover agents at shows in Green Bay and Fond du Lac without requiring any paperwork.
Schrader was the third man this year sentenced for illegal gun sales after prosecution by the U.S. attorney's office in Milwaukee.
A 75-year-old Hartford man who sold more than 100 firearms at gun shows, Raymond L. Anderson touted "no paperwork, no taxes, no waiting period" to undercover agents.
Gerald Golke, 74, of Pewaukee was sentenced to a month in prison and three years' probation for knowingly selling firearms to a Milwaukee man he knew was a felon.
Federal law defines a dealer as someone who makes a significant amount of their income from gun sales. Such people are required to have a license and do background checks on gun sales.
However, individuals who occasionally sell firearms, at gun shows or elsewhere, do not need a license or to go through background checks.

There is no substitute for honest hard work. - Gary Vaynerchuk
It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them. — Steve Jobs
Flat User Interface Design is a minimalist UI Design Genre, or design language, currently used in various graphical user interfaces (such as Web sites or Web applications). - Flat UI Design
Flat style is famous for its ability of adding extra flair of sophistication, elegance and neatness to any app interface, making it look more spacious and organized. As a rule, plain graphics and common icons skillfully interact with vivid color scheme, recreating flamboyant touches. Simplicity, absence of styles and effects give the design, at the same time, uncomplicated, and slightly intricate appearance.
iOS Design Principles: - iOS Human Interface Guidelines
- Aesthetic Integrity: Aesthetic integrity doesn't measure the beauty of an app's artwork or characterize its style; rather, it represents how well an app's appearance and behavior integrates with its function to send a coherent message.
- Consistency: Consistency lets people transfer their knowledge and skills from one part of an app's UI to another and from one app to another app. A consistent app isn't a slavish copy of other apps and it isn't stylistically stagnant; rather, it pays attention to the standards and paradigms people are comfortable with and it provides an internally consistent experience.
- Direct Manipulation: When people directly manipulate onscreen objects instead of using separate controls to manipulate them, they're more engaged with their task and it's easier for them to understand the results of their actions.
- Feedback: Feedback acknowledges people's actions, shows them the results, and updates them on the progress of their task.
- Metaphors: When virtual objects and actions in an app are metaphors for familiar experiences—whether these experiences are rooted in the real world or the digital world—users quickly grasp how to use the app.
- User Control: People—not apps—should initiate and control actions. An app can suggest a course of action or warn about dangerous consequences, but it's usually a mistake for the app to take decision-making away from the user. The best apps find the correct balance between giving people the capabilities they need while helping them avoid unwanted outcomes.

Following the road from Sparta which passes through plane trees, cypresses, olive trees, mulberries and orange trees we reach Mystras. In the distance, mount Taygetos looms proudly. We scan its innumerable peaks, precipitous slopes and deep gorges until our gaze suddenly rests on a hill, detached from the mountain range. On the naturally defended hill of Myzithras in Lacedaimon, the ruler of the Frankish Principate of Achaia Guillaume de Villehardouin built in 1249 a strong medieval castle the "Oriokastro" which was to play an important role in the history of the last centuries of the Byzantine empire.
In 1262 the Byzantines made themselves masters of Mystras, inaugurating a brilliant period for the medieval fortress-state. Houses covered the hill, mansions and palaces, churches and fortified monasteries were built and the densely settled city was encircled by two enclosure walls.
High on its summit stands an impregnable fortress and on its flanks extends the erstwhile glorious Medieval state of Mystras, now in ruins and silent.
We go back into time, to the era of the Frankish Occupation of Greece, the time when the Crusaders, having conquered Constantinople in 1204, shared the rest of the country between themselves, thus creating small states. The most significant of these, the French Principality of Morea, was much retarded in spreading throughout the entire Peloponnese and so in 1249 the Frankish Prince of Achaia, Guillaume de Villehardouin, managed with the help of the Venetians, to take Monemvasia and so pass through the whole of Laconia. There it was that he came and built a castle on this wisely chosen inaccessible hill in order to rule over the whole of Lacedaemonia. However, the sovereign with his iron-clad knights did not enjoy this land for long. A decade later Guillaume was taken prisoner while fighting against the Emperor Michael Palaiologos at Pelagonia, nowadays in Yugoslavia, and was forced to surrender his castle in return for his freedom.
So Mystras, a Frankish castle, once again became the seat of the Byzantine commander of the Peloponnese. The inhabitants of Sparta, who felt insecure in the undefended plain, moved to this spot which consequently started coming to life and developed into a city. Houses were built, a Metropolis, monasteries, palaces and ramparts. Mystras developed at such a rate that a hundred years after the building of the castle, in 1348, it became the capital of the Despotate of Morea with Manuel Kantakouzenos as first Despot, son of the Emperor John VI.
Later, in 1384, the Palaiologoi came and succeeded in the expansion of the Despotate virtually throughout the Peloponnese. During these years Mystras experienced its greatest fluorite. An intellectual centre developed were personalities in the arts and letters brought from the capital of the Empire, which was then in decline, congregated. Distinguished among them was the Neoplatonic philosopher Georgios Gemistos, Plethon who attracted many pupils around him and taught them the ancient authors as well as his own innovative ideas concerning the social and religious organization of the state.
However, the disaster which dogged the sovereign was not slow in reaching here also and so when Konstantinos Palaiologos, Despot of Mystras, left for the capital wearing the martyred crown of the last emperor, his brother Demetrios who succeeded him after the legendary Fall of Constantinople in 1453, surrendered the castle to the Turks in 1460.
The splendor and grandeur of Mystras ceased but a commercial centre was created where in 1687, after Morosini had subjugated and plundered the area, 42.000 souls lived a life of comparative economic affluence based on the rich production of silk. In 1770, when Orloff's fleet anchored in the Mane, the Greeks were aroused and attacked the Turks of Mystras alongside the Russians.
They breathed the air of freedom for only a few months and then the wrath of the Albanians burst upon them. For ten years they butchered, broke down and burnt everything. It was liberated once again during the 1821 Revolution but in 1825 Ibrahem set fire to this much-tortured place for the last time. By the time King Othon came and built new Sparta, Mystras was already dead. The gloomy world of the ruins remained as a testimony of a state which in its day constituted the unique hope of the revival of an empire which was slowly dying and which is today the sole example of a medieval settlement with its castle, the fortification walls encircling it, its palaces, churches and mansions.

Over the years I have met with thousands of bereaved parents who never cease to shock me with their tales of horror and lack of support following the devastation that is the loss of a baby. In some trusts, stillborn babies are still being delivered in delivery suites to the sounds of babies crying, excited visitors arriving with bunches of flowers and congratulation balloons.
I am mother to Bethany and Courtney 16, Megan 12, Grace 9, Connie 6 and Archie who was stillborn in 2009. I was 35 weeks pregnant and I suffered a concealed abruption, which meant that I bled internally. I was rushed down for a caesarean and when I came round they said that he'd not made it - he'd passed away.
How many children do I have? Zero? But that's not the full truth. And denying her existence would not be fair to her memory. We do not live in the yesteryear where such events were kept hidden and the parents were expected to forget immediately. But how do I keep her memory alive without dragging others down with sadness?

|summer tv on Jun 13, 2012 @ 01:22 pm
Hey, summer is a great time to try watching re-runs of show you were interested in but didn't get around to during the season, alot of networks re-air the shows in order trying to get more viewers, plus you already know what shows have been dropped by the networks for next season by now.
There is also all the reality shows like big brother, if the vampire genre at all interests you then HBO canada just started the new season of True Blood.
|:) on Jun 13, 2012 @ 07:33 pm
I am in the same boat! Everything I watched is now over except...... TRUE BLOOD! Omg best show going and the new season just started! Other then that there is nothing on anymore!
|Love True Blood on Jun 13, 2012 @ 10:44 pm
The only thing I'm watching is True Blood also Hells Kitchen and right after that Master Chef.
I love Breaking Bad as well and that is starting up in a few days.
|Saving Grace on Jun 25, 2012 @ 11:27 am
The only new show I can find to watch is Saving Grace on CTV. It's preety good but you need to know the story line to enjoy it the most.
Here's the official synopsis:
When charismatic Chief of Surgery Charlie Harris (Michael Shanks, STARGATE SG-1) at Torontos Hope-Zion Hospital ends up in a coma, he leaves the hospital in chaos and his fiancée and fellow surgeon, Alex Reid (Erica Durance, Smallville) in a state of shock. Along with newly-arrived star surgeon, Joel Goran (Daniel Gillies, The Vampire Diaries), Alex races to save Harris life. As the action unfolds, comatose Dr. Harris wanders the halls of Hope-Zee in spirit form, not sure if hes a ghost or a figment of his own imagination. Reid, along with her fellow doctors, press on to save his life and those of their other patients, as they deal with the complicated and courageous decisions that are made in their daily struggle to keep hope alive.

|I am always looking for new shows on Jun 26, 2012 @ 01:05 am
But if you haven't watched Drop dead Diva, it's pretty good. Lots of twists, and good actors. Season 3 just started so you have some episodes to catch up on.
Common Law is pretty funny, it's about 2 cops that get sent to couples counselling in order to keep their jobs. it just started recently, still on season 1.
Franklin & Bash is you like funny lawyer shows with weird cases and side drama.
The Real Housewives of Vancouver I watch mostly to remind myself how glad I am not to know people like that.
Suits is another lawyer drama with comedy twists. It was good when it started but now its getting a little ehhh.
Lost Girl - if you haven't seen it yet is great. I watched it while true blood was on break, if you like supernatural this is it. Plus lots of cool outfits :)
Single Ladies - makes me wish I could shop at the stores they show. Their outfits are amazing all the time. It's a lot of drama but portrays strong women well.
Bunheads - this just started, only 3 episodes out so far but its getting interesting. Of course you have to like dance elements or you probably wont like the show.
How to be a gentleman - is a comedy, it's like my replacement for the big bang theory while its on break. Also, Men At Work - is a nice, light comedy show. And Baby Daddy just started.
Americas Got Talent - this show just inspires me to go and learn some new skills whenever I watch it. People really can do amazing things.
Rizzolli and Isles is great if you haven't caught it yet. The personalities on the show are awesome :)
Grimm or Supernatural are also good shows if you haven't watched them yet.

Jayco, Inc. was founded in 1968 by a man of strong faith and vision. The late Lloyd J. Bontrager, family man and inventor, felt he could build the world a better RV. He longed to create a company of his own, one that clearly reflected his ideals: a company where everyone would be treated as "family".
With encouragement from his wife Bertha, Lloyd started Jayco on their farm--in two chicken houses and a barn! He developed his own prototype camping trailer and a unique lifter system for fold-down campers, the basic design of which is patented and still in use today. By the end of 1968, his fledging company of 15 employees had sold 132 fold-down camping trailers.
Today, Jayco's "family" of employees has grown to nearly 1,500 people, while more than 25,000 people join our "extended family" of customers each year.
At Jayco, our mission statement is: Committed to being the most respected name in recreation vehicles. We will consistently build a high quality, high value, competitively priced product at acceptable margins, treat every situation with the highest level of integrity in a timely manner, and continually work to reduce total cost to achieve acceptable returns.

Rhubarb Recipes
Sweet and Tart Recipe Rhubarb Jam
Even today, preserving food is a necessity in many countries and jams, jellies, preserves and relishes are popular methods of keeping fruits and vegetables from spoiling. When thinking of jam and jelly, fruit comes to mind and it surprises some people when they realize the other foods preserved in this manner. Mint, for example, is an herb and yet it creates some of the best jelly around. Rhubarb is a vegetable and along with its delicious contribution to crumbles, tarts and pies, makes a delicious jam. Used in stews, it also makes a flavorful pureed sauce that accompanies fish dishes.
Jam is a kitchen event that takes quite a bit of open space and organization. Clear the table so there is plenty of room for the gear needed with a major production like jam. Use a cutting board to chop and trim ingredients and follow the instructions carefully. Adding herbs and spices for additional flavoring is better by putting them into a muslin casing and immersing it in the jam mixture while it is cooking, then removing and discarding the contents of the muslin when the cooking is finished.
To bruise ginger root, take the piece of root for cooking and beat it with a mallet to break the fibers in the root. If this is your first attempt at jam, you will be delighted with the results. Sometimes recipes give us more than what we intend to use in a year and jam is a very nice gift. Add some decorations to the jar such as a bright ribbon or crafted holly leaf to give it a special ornamental look. Continue reading

Traditional Rhubarb Sticky Buns Recipe
These wonderful rhubarb sticky buns are served warm from the oven. You could serve them cooled if you prefer but being warm makes them smell extra-good and taste even better. This recipe is made in two parts. First you have a juicy rhubarb mixture and then you have a fluffy batter which turns into the bun when you cook them.
These rhubarb sticky buns are turned out on to a plate after being in the muffin cups, which means the rhubarb layer ends up on top. You can use frozen rhubarb if fresh rhubarb is unavailable. Just thaw it overnight in the refrigerator.
Rhubarb buns are lovely served with a cup of coffee or tea in the afternoon, as a pick-me-up when you fancy something nice. These are sweet and moist, and once you taste them you will wonder why you never used rhubarb in this way before, because it adds plenty of moisture and flavor to the buns, without making them overly sweet. Rhubarb is not naturally sweet so you can use it in both sweet recipes (with added sugar or sweetener) or savory ones, as you wish. Continue reading
Healthy Strawberry Rhubarb Whole Wheat Muffins
This recipe for strawberry rhubarb whole-wheat muffins requires fresh strawberries and rhubarb and these ingredients are paired with typical muffin ingredients like flour, oil, egg and milk, as well as cinnamon and oats for a robust and wholesome flavor. You will need a muffin tip with twelve cups to make this recipe, but feel free to use a pair of tins and double the recipe. This strawberry rhubarb whole-wheat muffins recipe is so good that you might want to make twice the amount. If you are doing this, rotate the trays halfway through the cooking time. Ovens are hotter at the top (because heat rises) so if you do not rotate the trays (put the one at the top at the bottom and vice versa) you might get overcooked strawberry rhubarb whole wheat muffins in the top of the oven and undercooked ones underneath, so this tip is worth following.
Whether to use paper liners or not is up to you but if you do not have any then do not forget to grease the cups in the muffin tray, else the muffins will be hard to get out without breaking them. Strawberries and rhubarb pair well together. Technically strawberries are a fruit and rhubarb is a vegetable but when you mix rhubarb with sweet ingredients it goes perfectly. Feel free to switch the strawberries for another type of berry but keep the rhubarb – these strawberry rhubarb whole wheat muffins just would not be the same otherwise!
You can use any kind of milk in the recipe, such as whole milk, half-fat milk, or skim milk. Almond milk would work too. The same applies to the sugar and you could use white sugar in this recipe or brown sugar. Brown sugar would perhaps be more in keeping with the wholesome taste of these strawberry rhubarb whole-wheat muffins, but the choice is yours. Continue reading

The win raised Duquesne's record to 15-7, 6-3 in Atlantic 10 Conference play.
Sophomore Bill Clark scored five straight points to give the Red and Blue a 5-2 lead over number nine Xavier with 17:43 remaining in the first half.
The Dukes led from that point till the final buzzer when the fans ran onto the court in celebration.
Senior Aaron Jackson paced the Dukes with 21 points, five rebounds, three assists and a steal against a single turnover. Clark tallied 18, hitting 6-of-7 and all four shots from beyond the arc.
Freshman Melquan Bolding had 12 points and a team-high seven rebounds and junior Jason Duty, who was named All-Academic District 2 this week, added 10 points.
Sophomore Damian Saunders, who fouled out with 1:55 left to go, had six rebounds, two assists, two steals, and a game-high three blocks.
Duquesne led by 14 at 26-12 with 11:28 to go in the first half and had a 45-30 lead at the break, making 17 of 21 from the floor.
Xavier cut the lead to 48-40 with 16:20 remaining. But Duquesne had an answer. Bolding's putback raised the Dukes' edge to 56-41 with 11:49 on the clock.
Xavier got to within three, 69-66, with 10 seconds to go. Duquesne made free throws down the stretch to preserve the win.
XU (20-3, 8-1) was led by B.J. Raymond's 18 points. Terrell Holloway added 16 and Derrick Brown scored 12 points. C.J. Anderson had 10 rebounds.
The Dukes are back in action on Wednesday, February 11, 2009, when they take on Richmond in the Spiders' Robins Center at 7:00 p.m.


text: Food was indeed good. We all had the schnitzel, preceded by Brussels sprouts and a nice flatbread with bacon and cheese. Perhaps too many sweet things with the schnitzel? Wine was excellent! Service was negligible, a bit forced. Apfel strudel was very good, but lacked that something to be excellent. Would go back, but would recommend with caveats.

Initial hopes that all four colts entangled in that bewildering finish for the Derby would resolve their differences at the Curragh tomorrow have evaporated into a merciless summer haze.
Sir Percy will not be seen until the autumn, having stiffened up after his win. He did much the same after the 2,000 Guineas, of course, but this time there is no need to hasten back. Meanwhile Hala Bek, barely a stride back in fourth, is also being given more time after apparently recoiling from that abnormal effort at Epsom, where he ran so furiously on only his second start.
A callow jink inside the final furlong may well have cost Hala Bek the prize, though it must be said that Sir Percy did well to pounce so far off a quickening pace. Either way, it is certainly valid to wonder whether the two colts who joined them in the photo - that monstrous jumble of limbs and heads - can competently represent their merit in the Budweiser Irish Derby.
Both Dragon Dancer and Dylan Thomas owed their involvement to the opportunism of their riders, who slackened the pace in front before sweeping out of Tattenham Corner. Though still a maiden, Dragon Dancer is clearly no impostor, but the fact is that he had been squarely out-pointed by both Hala Bek and Papal Bull on the way to Epsom. The suspicion persists that he will remain an admirable gauge for his generation, and no more.
There were considerable reservations about the stamina of Dylan Thomas when he sampled this distance for the first time at Epsom, and ultimately it was his exhausted roll from the rail that allowed Sir Percy to scuttle through. A stronger tempo and long, galloping straight will permit him no hiding place at the Curragh.
The Epsom form, which has stood up well to lesser examinations so far, may instead find its most persuasive advocate in Best Alibi, who excelled to finish sixth after getting behind and then losing his bearings on the hill. His work since apparently confirms him capable of further progress.
It is now 12 years since a British colt won this race and the home team will again reserve at least as much respect for the French, who have meanwhile come here with such formidable colts as Hurricane Run, Montjeu and Dream Well.
Their challenge includes the first two in the Prix du Jockey-Club, Darsi and Best Name, though the recent abbreviation of that race to 10 and a half furlongs rather disqualifies its claims as the French Derby. In fairness to Darsi, he has already won over this trip and further progress is now expected. Yet the strong-finishing runner-up, Best Name, is out of an Old Vic mare and may well thrive for the extra distance himself.
The bottom line is that Chantilly was even more congested than Epsom, in terms of numbers, and the market makes some generous assumptions about their collective merit. The author of much the most emphatic Derby display to date is instead the third French runner, Johnny Murtagh's mount Gentlewave. Nobody should underestimate what is needed to win the biggest prize in Italy - the land that successively gave us Falbrav, Rakti and Electrocutionist - by four lengths and three and a half.
Gentlewave's only defeat was in a slowly-run race in heavy ground in the spring, when his jockey dropped his whip, but his genes are saturated with stamina and he proved a revelation stepped up in trip in Italy. His trainer has the strongest team of middle-distance horses in Europe and it is instructive that this colt was supplemented for €100,000.
The same gamble draws attention to Cougar Bay. His accomplished young trainer believes that his horses are in better form than when this colt tried this distance for the only time, back in the spring, and considers him to be improving smartly. As it happens, precisely the same can be said of Puerto Rico, who appeals as best of the Ballydoyle trio even though Kieren Fallon favours Dylan Thomas.
This colt produced the most visually impressive performance of the weekend during the last big meeting at the Curragh. Lightly raced and stoutly bred, he could prove hardest to breach among the home defence.Reuse content

Terrible bad luck for Mauricio Pinilla who, just 24 hours after he was given the all-clear for the Sicilian derby, has picked up a thigh strain.
The Palermo striker seemed to have won his race against time to be fit for Sunday's Serie A showdown with Catania.
Yesterday the Chilean was sent home from international duty with the slight muscular twinge and hoped it was nothing serious after missing 14 games with a metatarsal fracture this season.
Pinilla took part in regular training on Tuesday and straight away picked up a left thigh strain.
"Tests showed a first degree lesion in the left thigh," confirmed a Palermo statement.
It's believed the striker will be out of action for at least two weeks, so is out of the Derby di Sicilia.
