Police said Tuesday they are looking for a woman in connection to a fatal shooting and crash on the Las Vegas Strip that left three people dead.
They are calling 22-year-old Tineesha Lashun Howard, aka Yenesis Alfonso, a "person of interest."
"She's not considered a suspect," said Laura Meltzer, a spokeswoman with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. "She's somebody detectives would like to speak to in connection with this event."
Police say Howard has been identified as being inside a black Range Rover at the time shots were fired from the vehicle. She was described by police as 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing around 120 pounds and having green eyes and dark hair.
She is listed as a missing and possibly endangered person from the Miami area.
"This case needs to be solved," Meltzer said, urging Howard to come forward.
Police had previously identified Ammar Asim Faruq Harris, 26, as a suspect in the shooting. He is at large, though a black Range Rover police say he was driving early Thursday morning has been impounded.
Police consider Harris to be armed and dangerous and say he has an extensive criminal history, CNN affiliate KLAS reported. He has several tattoos, including a small heart -shaped one below his right eye and a large one of an owl that covers his neck and part of his chest.
A woman who said she is Howard's mother told CNN that her daughter and Harris have been girlfriend and boyfriend for about a year.
Miladys Garcia said she recognized Harris from an image that police issued but that she knew him by a different name. Garcia said she hasn't been in contact with her daughter since the shooting.

A few months ago I tasted zucchini bread that was different from all the other zucchini breads. It didn't have cinnamon and it was light in color, not dark. I also found out that it contained oats.
Use zucchini pulp you put up last summer. I also add nuts after everything is mixed.
A big thank-you to the woman who gave me this recipe.
Zucchini Bread
2 cups sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup oil
2 cups flour
1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup quick oats
2 cups zucchini, grated
1 teaspoon vanilla
• Cream sugar, eggs and oil. Add dry ingredients, oats, zucchini and vanilla. Mix well.
• Grease or spray loaf pans.
• Bake at 350 degrees for an hour or longer until done.

Steps to the River: Watermark Landing project brings artistic recognition to Valley's most prominent waterway
Petra Nyendick recalls that when she moved to Terre Haute in 2005 in hopes of opening an art gallery, one of her initial surprises was usage of the Wabash River by people in the city was so light.

CULINARY COURSES: Clabber Girl Classroom Kitchen provides variety of cooking courses for the Valley
There are a few taste-bud-tantalizing-perks for having America's leading baking powder producer in your backyard. For nearly 120 years, Clabber Girl has been a staple in Terre Haute.

In 1923, the company changed the baking powder brand name to Clabber Girl.

Witness to history: April movie chronicles Jackie Robinson's trials as be breaks Major League Baseball's color barrier — something Vigo County native Harry Taylor witnessed first hand
The upcoming movie "42" aims to show America what Jackie Robinson endured.
Harry Taylor witnessed it firsthand.
Robinson wore jersey No. 42 for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. Taylor wore 41. Both were 28-year-old rookies, considerably older than most. Taylor got delayed by military service in World War II. Professional baseball's unwritten but ironclad code of racial discrimination had kept Robinson and other African-Americans out of the majors since the 1880s. -

The Fillenwarth sisters are sisters in more than one sense of the word.

Today's photo of tailor Edward Sexton is about as good as English dress gets in my opinion (I say English only because it differs from the Italian school, not because one or another is better). Save perhaps for the shirt collar the clothes are proportioned to his body (a man with a smaller figure, he wears a four by two double breasted buttoned to the buttom a la the late Duke of Windsor), the palette restrained, and the use of pattern will raise no eyebrows. All that said, the ensemble is anything but dull.
Were I to pick nits, I would substitute closed laced shoes for the open laced bluchers, narrow the necktie and for most occasions I might change the silk pocket square to linen or cashmere. But that is about all. Well done.

The Brewers took advantage of four errors and seven walks to defeat the Cubs 10-1 at Maryvale Baseball Complex Field #7 in AZ Instructional League action this afternoon in Phoenix.
While the main purpose of "Instructs" is to provide lots of coaches and instructors and a less-pressurized, more low-key environment that allows pitchers to work on a new pitch or on their secondary stuff and position players to try a new position, make adjustments as a hitter, or improve their baserunning, the fact is somedays the Cubs youngsters look better than they do on other days. And today was just not one of the good days.
True, but if he's at least decent defensively, and could put up a .270/.350/.390 he'd be worth at least a utility spot. Come on Soler, Almora and Baez!!!
That is kind of damming with faint praise. :)
That may be true. But is he any less of a prospect than Darwin Barney was? Barney: .288/.337/.378 in the minors, 35/45 steals 1724 PA's Watkins:.281/.372/.389, 88/124 steals, 2205 PA's
It seems unlikely to me that Watkins will be able to keep up his walk totals in the majors, which kind of makes him a non-prospect.
Per the Baseball Cube (http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp...), Derek played the part of two seasons in A ball. He had 56 erros in 128 games in 1993, and 9 errors in 11 games in 1992.
I remember a conversation at TCR years ago with reference to Starlin's propensity for errors, and it was brought up that Jeter once committed 59 in A ball. It was a mini-point of discussion because different sources were reporting the number as either 59 or 159, but it was determined to be 59. Edit: I guess it was 56, funny we both thought of the same thing.
Not sure if it is a record, but in 1993 at Greenboro Derek Jeter had 56 errors.
Anybody know the record for errors at Single-A? Javy Baez with 2 more yesterday - now with 19 for the season.....
I was listening to the "live" audio on mlb.com when the Cubs drafted Dustin Geiger back in 2010, and they announced him as an "outfielder" when they drafted him. So although he had played 3rd base in HS, the Cubs Area Scout projected Geiger as a corner outfielder. But to get him to sign (he had signed an NLI with Central Florida), the Cubs had to give him an overslot bonus and agree to let him play 3B (at least for a while). So look for Geiger to be moved to a corner OF slot (probably LF, what with Soler holding down RF) sometime soon.
Outstanding effort Phil. Thanks for the updates.
tough loss today, if this team could hit with risp be more fun to watch.
they are moving forward though
m.bowden DFA'd...damn.
Thanks as always, AZ.
On a different subject, I just now noticed the record of the L.A. Angels in the standings.

Frosty drinks are oh-so cool
Anything pink with an umbrella or sugary rim is dismissed as girly and lightweight. But summer spirits are my favorite. When youre landlocked like we are, who doesnt want that beachy feeling that daiquiris, margaritas and coladas bring? Here are some of my favorites.
Boy Scouts approve plan to accept openly gay boys
The Boy Scouts of America threw open its ranks Thursday to gay Scouts but not gay Scout leaders — a fiercely contested compromise that some warned could fracture the organization and lead to mass defections of members and donors. Of the roughly 1,400 voting members of the BSA's National Council who cast ballots, 61 percent supported the proposal. The policy change takes effect Jan. 1.
Stars shine on Cannes red carpet
The annual film festival in France previews films of all genres from around the world and draws in a who's who of film stars with fashion to match.
Husain Abdullah, who gave up football to take Muslim pilgrimage, is back in NFL with the Chiefs
New Chiefs safety Husain Abdullah, a practicing Muslim, elected not to return to the Minnesota Vikings last season and instead took his wife, parents and two older brothers on a monthlong pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia last October. To get back out here and to have a second chance, not a lot of people get one, Abdullah said. So this is a blessing.
Bread-baking brings kneaded therapy
Baking bread is at once invigorating and soothing. You can take out aggression on dough, hurl it at the counter from a foot high and punch it with your fists if you want. You cant hurt it. Or you can find a gentle reverie in the dough, squeeze its cool pillowy sides with your finger and rock the heels of your hands lazily back and forth in the center. The main thing is to find a rhythm and just keep going.
Epic isnt epic, but it is gorgeous | 3 stars

The Sampler Platter has a small version of everything on the first page of the menu, a perfect tapas tasting for two that included five dishes that are the restaurants staples cuisine.
A summer of reading for low-income children
Without books, low-income children get out of the habit of reading during the summer and struggle when school resumes. Thats why the effort this week to distribute 10,000 books to elementary children in Kansas City Public Schools is so critical.
FBI plan puts our privacy at risk
Technology is moving faster than before, and laws must move equally fast if they are to keep up with ever-changing reality. But this is not the way to do it. Leaving your emails, IMs, etc. deliberately available at all times for law enforcement (or others) is an overreaction, a move of desperation.

This is a problem that I know many people have encountered, and there could be so many simple solutions to it, it is absurd anyone should have to experience it. After over an hour shopping for various goods at my local WalMart, I searched for the open register with the shortest line. Seeing as there were but 4 or 5 lanes open (of 30), my search was short-lived. There were at least 6 people in each line. I settled on one. I checked my watch as I got in line, ten after nine, p.m. I grabbed a magazine and settled in for a long wait. After over twenty minutes, I hear "Ma'am. I'm closed." I replied, "You're closed? I've been in this line for twenty minutes." She replied, with extreme attitude, that she was closed, her light was off. Her light was most certainly not off when I selected her line, nor was it off when the two customers behind me joined. She offered no alternative, no suggestion, no apology- just a shrug of her shoulders. I left my basket full of groceries (including quickly-melting ice cream, raw meat, milk, and others)in the middle of the lane and stalked out of the store. I was not about to go get in another line and wait an additional half hour, nor was I going to approach a store manager in the state of anger that I was in. I went to another grocery store down the road, and, although I paid much more for the same groceries, was done in under twenty minutes. After this particular experience (and several others with this at times messy or empty store and completely disinterested, unhelpful and rude personnel) I now refuse to patronize this store. With a choice between awful customer service and such disgusting apathy and low prices or higher prices with a clean store and helpful, kind employees, I will pick the latter every time. Wal Mart (and all grocery or big box stores) must develop a better system for changing cashiers in and out of registers so that no one waits in a line that will suddenly close. Asking a customer to inform all customers behind them that the line will close is completely inappropriate and inadequate. A simple solution is to create a standing sign that is behind their register that they can simply place at the end of the line when the end of their shift is approaching. It's not classy, but I wouldn't care if they propped a piece of paper with a handwritten "closed" on a basket and put it at the end of the line! Some way of informing customers of this must be implemented before more infuriated customers like me leave their slowly warming groceries in the middle of the aisle, never to return to that store.
She should have finished the line and then went home.
You are right. This doesn't only happen at Walmart but stores likeShoprite and Pathmark. First of all, why have 10 or 20 registers ifonly 2 are open? Maybe they should hire more people. Waiting in linefor 20-30 minutes is a turnoff and if I have to take attitude from anasty cashier, that only makes it worse. As a matter of principle, Iwould have done the same thing. I'd rather pay more money andpatronize a store where the customers are treated with respect and theplace is clean and I don't have to wait forever to get out of there. On the upside, why couldn't she have put something up to show that shewas only taking a few more customers. Some cashiers ask for attitudebut how hard is it to be helpful, what your job calls for?
so because of you yet another wal-mart employee got their hours cut orgot laid off to cover the cost of the groceries you left sitting atthe checkout stand! WAY TO GO!!!!!!
I used to be a cashier at Wal-Mart, so I have a bit of understandingfor both sides of this issue. I've been the one in line when thecashier had to leave. It can be very annoying. At the same time, ifit's time for your lunch, the register will lock you out. What I tried to do was to make sure my light was turned off, and Iwould keep an eye out for new customers. Unless I was getting lockedout the system, I would try to take all the customers in my linebefore completely closing. I would also politely apologize to anycustomers I couldn't service. Of course, sometimes customers aren'talways so polite back.
I couldn't agree with you more. Walmart also needs to get theirstaffing correct. They should NOT have 20 registers and only 3 open,one of which is 10 items or less, as is the case in my local Walmart. Thankfully, Target opened up right down the street, and while they'rea bit more pricey, it's been worth it.
I used to be a BIG supporter of Walmart. But to be honest, yourexperience is the exact reason why I will now drive further away, andspend more money...just so I dont have to wait in line forever! Walmart better figure out that people are tired of waiting in theirlines. I used to go to Walmart a couple times a week. Now the ONLYtime I go is if its very early in the morning. And even then I willusually opt for Target or a grocery store instead. If I need somethinglike clothes or shoes for my son then I will go to Walmart right afterI get off work at 8am. Otherwise I refuse to go anywhere near Walmartanymore.
As a retail cashier myself, I can tell you that the proper customerfriendly way to solve this issue would be to have this cashier turnoff her light 5-10 minites before she was due to get off so she couldfinish out her line and still get off on time.But this will nverhappen at wal mart because it would require an overlap in shift changesince the next shift would have to come on 5/10 min earlier to takethe customers turned away from the closing lanes.Its easier andcheaper for them to bank on the fact that youve invested too much timein thier crappy store to walk out and start all over elsewhere.Maybeif they lose enough money to spoiled product left by angry customersthey will wise up
Let me ask you this: Do you expect some cashier at a Wal-Mart to juststay over their shift for you? That's selfish and rude. So what if yougot in line... If her shift was over at a certain time who are you tosay that she doesn't have the right to go home and attend to her ownlife? People who shop have an unfortunate tendency to feel like they own thepeople who work retail.
I love these 'Oh poor me, I've been wronged' stories. 'I grabbed a magazine...' Yep, and while you were so engrossed in themagazine (which I know you had no intention of paying for), catchingup on the latest sleazy gossip, you were oblivious to what was goingon around you. You didn't keep your eyes on what was going on to seewhen the cashier turned off her light. The two customers behind you had their heads in the clouds as well,following like sheep. How did you manage to do all your shopping at the other store in 20minutes when you were in Wal*Mart for an hour? Do us all a favor andcontinue doing your shopping at this store. Believe me, we don't need customers like you in our stores. You'rethe reason prices are going up, not remaining stable. Your behaviorwas very piggish.
I have never had this happen to me, personally. It is a bit shockingthat a cashier would leave three customers just standing there afterspending such a long time in line! In my experience, another employeehas always directed me to another checkstand with "little or nowaiting." As for abandoning the cart and leaving, I must admit Iwould have likely done the same thing. It most certainly gets thepoint across and may actually be part of the solution. When employeeshave to stop what they are doing and restock the abandoned groceries,it may dawn on someone to stop dropping the ball on checkoutprocedures!
A number of years ago the same thing happened to me. I didn't haveany perishable items however. There were 4 of us in line at the timewhen the cashier turned off her light and announced her line wasclosed and she couldn't take us. I had 4-5 items in hand. I droppedthem on the floor and left. A couple of seconds later I heard moreitems drop on the floor. They were the items the others in line had. Ihaven't stepped foot in a WalMart since.
Niceeeeeeeeeee....and you wonder why when you buy persihable itemsthey are bad, or you cook a frozen item and you can tell its beenrefrozen. This is Walmart you know, its going back on the shelf
I agree. This is why I don't shop at Walmart. I would have done theexact same thing.
I agree that the OP shouldn't have left the groceries sitting in theline. At the very least she should have pushed them to the ServiceDesk so that they could get someone to take them back before theyspoiled, and informed them that she had waited in line for 20 minutesand the cashier had closed and walked away. That way her complaintwould get passed on to the manager...or perhaps the Customer Serviceperson could have gotten someone to check her out. But to leave thegroceries to spoil was petty and immature. I work at Meijer and if it is time for the end of our shift we have toclock out on time. If we are on an 8 hour shift and go into overtimewe get a writeup. I don't know if that is the case at Wal-mart ornot. The cashier should have called the CSR to block off her lane andfinish ringing out the few customers remaining. At Meijer we havesigns to place at the end of the lanes and we try to get our lightsshut off at least 10 minutes before the end of our shift. I can'tcount the number of times I have seen a customer walk around or movethe sign and get into a closed line, then get offended when thecashier tells them that they are closed. I have told customers that Ihave to close because I will get into trouble for going into overtimeonly to have them say something like, "That isn't my problem. I'm ina hurry and you WILL check me out." If one cashier is late for theirbreak, then that cascades to the rest of the cashiers, as you cannotsend another until the first has gotten their breaks. During busy times we will have the Service Coordinator or even theService Team Leads take over from cashiers to avoid closing down laneswith customers in them. One line in the OP's letter is something I have heard time and timeagain at our store...something along the lines of "You have 30 lanesin this store and only 4 or 5 of them open!" Some people seem tothink that all 30 lanes should be open all the time so they don't haveto wait. Those extra cashiers cost money to pay, which would bepassed on in the form of higher prices. I wish every person was required to work in some customer service jobfor at least 6 months...they might have a bit more sympathy forcashiers/servers/CSRs etc. While it was not handled in the best way (the cashier could haveinformed the customers that she would be closing in 10 minutes andgotten her light turned off quicker and perhaps called the CSR forassistance), the OP should have taken her groceries to the Servicedesk or at least informed them that she had left a basket withperishables on Lane # whatever and why, so that they could have beenput back and not ruined...and that her complaint could have been dealtwith in a timely manner.
Walmart in fact. I used to work in the Health and Beauty Aids sectionof the store, plus was required to come up and cover a register whenthings got too busy. A 20 minute wait in line is too long IMHO tohave customers waiting without calling back-up to the front to help. And if the CSM or manager were that concerned with this person takingtheir break on time, they should have stepped in and assisted. Maybethe OP should have said something to a manager or CSM, but I know Icertainly would have been too overheated by that time. Instead ofgetting into a confrontation with someone, I would have walked away aswell. I would have tried to make sure that someone saw my cart pushedoff to the side, but I honestly don't believe this person was reallyin the wrong. She should have been taken care of, bottom line.
While I certainly understand your frustration, there are two HUGEreasons why you should NEVER EVER EVER EVER leave a cart out when itcontains frozen food. What often happens is a young cashier who doesn't realize that youcan't keep that kind of stuff out of the freezer for long will put itback in the freezer case. This causes food to be unsafe and people toget sick though they likely won't know that they are sick because ofthe milk that was left out too long but not long enough to spoil. Isaw it all the time when I worked at a grocery store. No one knowshow long that food has been sitting in the customer's cart beforebeing left out, they likely won't put it away right away but it willend up back in the case. The alternative to this is the food does not get put back into thecase and ends up being a loss on the store's books. This causesprices to go up. So I completely understand your frustration but that is a very badsolution to the problem.
Okay, I seem to be the only one that feels the OP was just as much inthe wrong for leaving her groceries behind as the cashier was for herattitude. Fair enough, no skin off my nose. I am curious, however, how many people feel so strongly about thisbecause the story took place at WALMART. Quite a few replies on thisthread about boycotting WM, how WM is the antichrist and all the rest. Too tell the truth, I don't feel strongly one way or another about WM.I live in a town where Wally World is pretty much the only option. Itbites, but until our city council gets over themselves and startsallowing other businesses in, that's the way it's gonna be. However, Iused to live in a town that had quite a few choices, shopping wise,and about 80% of the time I still chose WM, for the familiarity morethan anything else, I suppose. I've been in bad wallyworlds and decentwallyworlds, just like I've been in bad targets, rosses, albertsons,etc etc. My POV on this is simple: the groceries left behind were a mess and awaste. Someone had to clean it up and write the food up as lost. Thissort of thing makes for unhappy managers and unhappy managers make forunhappy employees. Unhappy employees make for most of the letters hereon PFB. Perhaps I am reading too much into the tone of the letter, but the OPseems positively gleeful at the prospect of leaving behind her 'slowlywarming groceries'. Mostly because I take just about everything acustomer says with a grain of salt, I question the rudeness and theattitude of the cashier. No doubt she was rude, but I don't think theOP cut her any slack. Like I said earlier, the OP is part of the problem, along with thecashier's attitude and the policy for closing registers with people init. Leaving groceries behind the spoil isn't going to do anythingabout fixing the problem and will in fact, only make it worse.
I wont shop wal mart either, ever, I had a pip squeek of a managertell me my coupons could be fradulent, when their own coupon policy isposted on their internet site, saying they DO take them, just anotherexample of the idiots they have that work there, then they want tocheck your bags and receipt before you go through the door. Like Isaid never again!!!!!
Sounds like that Wal-mart cashier needs to be taught how to be alittle more customer friendly. Today I was in Wally world to pick up some milk and a few magazines. Igot in a short line, considering the time of day, but then the cashiersaid to me very politely, "I'm sorry, ma'am, but I am closing afterthis customer." It was then I noticed her "this lane closed" sign on the end of thelittle conveyer belt and also her light was out. I apologized manytimes for the mistake and went off to another line. So...they do have signs. At least my Wal-mart does. I think if I was the OP I wouldn't have left my groceries to meltbecause I'm the type of person that would feel guilty for life fordoing that, LOL.
I stopped shopping at WalMart for this same reason. I didn't have ahuge cart full of groceries, but a small basket of personal items. I waited in line for almost 30 minutes and then the cashier said shewas closed. If this store would stop treating their employees like dirt, they inturn would stop being so complacent with the customers that shopthere. I haven't been to a WalMart in 8 years.
Boycott Wal*Mart. It is a bane on todays society. Cheap, low quality goods, at a priceyou think is good, until you realize you paid $2 less for an item youwill have to replace 2x as fast. Consumer Reports gave WalMart it's LOWEST rating for quality and valueof products.
I read your letter, and halfway down the responses. I got into anarea of "I think the OP was right to leave the groceries..." I wholeheartedly agree with your letter, and leaving the groceriesright where they were. They can function as a "line closed" sign now. They showed you no respect - I don't see why you should go out ofyour way to respect them. Certainly not taking 10 minutes to put thestuff back. You are right - they certainly need a better system. Where I shopthere is a supervisor walking around to let people know what is goingon. They could have a sign on a pole, IMHO. It may be seen as aninsurance hazard of some sort I suppose.
This is just one of many reasons I am not a fan of WalMart. I will shop there if there are specific items I need but don't do anygeneral shopping because the one closest to me is generally a sty andthe folks who shop there - well, let's just say that many of them looklike that's EXACTLY where they belong! When I cashiered, even if they had told me to leave my post, I wouldhave finished up the customers in my line with my light off - not madeanyone wait without AT LEAST handing them off to another cashier whohad no line. Heck, I even took on extra guests before leaving my post if thecashier next to me only had 1 other person in their line with a fewitems. Just so they wouldn't see me walking off and think I wasn'tconcerned about getting them rung out. And seriously, it took me,what, an extra 2 minutes? And I love that you left the ice cream there in the aisle. I totallywould have done that too. But angry or not, I really wish you'd havesaid something to that manager. It is a (remote) possibliity thathe/she was unaware the cashier was doing that and he definitely oughtto know that it's happening. Now, that snotty little brat will probably think she got away with itand will pull that same stunt again until someone speaks up andcomplains about it.
The cashier shouldn't have turned you away when you were in line.Having said that, it would be pretty hard to close a lane when thereare so many people in line. Even turning your lane light off 5 minutesearly and finishing everyone in line doesn't work that well becauseother people see the line and go and stand in it. The cashier wouldhave to keep leaving their lane to go tell people in line that theyare closing. What Wal-mart (and other stores) need to do is have a supervisor standbehind the customers in line to tell any additional people that theyare closing.
I was a cashier in College, and many times would have to close my lanewith people still in line, HOWEVER, I turned off my light and put theclosed sign up, THEN finished out all the customers in my lane. Neverdid I turn any away that were already waiting. That being said, Iwould have ABSOLUTELY left my groceries on the belt, hell, i might ofeven taken the ice cream out of the cart and put it on the scanner! Iknow Wal-Mart does not allow that kind of behavior, though I did notwork for them. I agree with your letter completely and lately havebeen disgusted with my experiences with Wal-Mart. Thankfully there isa safe-way, just down the street which has earned my business. Wal-mart. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!!
That cashier was absolutley in the wrong for sending you away. Surelyshe saw that you stood there that long. A good cashier will alwaystake notice of who is at the end, and not just decide as someonefinally approaches to tell them to go elsewhere.
Pfft! I'm with the OP on this one. I would have just left my baskettoo! I would have also given the manager an earful - but that's justme.
While leaving groceries behind may not have been the *best* option,what was the OP supposed to do? Put it back? I don't blame her forbeing mad. I've never had a cashier do that to me. They've alwaysturned their light off then finished with the customers they have. Ifthis cashier needed to go on break at a certain time, she should haveanticipated the timing better and turned her lane light off early. I've worked as a cashier at a grocery store -- it doesn't take long toknow how much time it takes to do a cartload of groceries. I do wish the OP had spoken with the manager, since that's the onlyway any real change will happen.
Perhaps it was just that cashier who was inconsiderate. But who knows?I've waited in a line and after a few minutes, noticed that thecashier turned the light off. Still, customers would approach theline, seeing as it was the shortest. Your letter sounds pretty legit to me. I have also been to Wal-Mart inthe evening with only 1 or 2 items to purchase and the only lanes thatare open are the regular ones...no fast checkout or self checkout. I would try to get the cashier's name and file a small complaint ormake a suggestion at the customer service desk. Good luck
Walmart used to have a policy if more than three people are waiting ina line they will open another register. Albertsons does that now.
I think the writer had a perfect right to leave those groceries. Atour Winco, where I do 90% of my grocery shopping, they ask the lastperson in line to put up the closed sign and then turn out theirlight. Then if anyone joins the line anyway, the cashier usuallypoints to the sign and says " I'm sorry, I'm closing." I've never seena cashier turn people away before she has the sign up and light off. Ithink talking to the manager the next morning might have been better ,not while she was so angry, as another suggestion. Not sure thatWal-Mart will ever wake up to the fact that maybe if they treatedtheir employees better, they wouldn't have disinterested, rudeemployees.
Our Walmart quite often only has 5 or 6 registers open (the regularlanes, not speed check-outs) at 9:00 PM How many registers do you think they should have open that late atnight? As for her closing the line, her break more than likely startedat 9:30 which according to your own story, you waited OVER 20 minutesin line therefore she was already late on her break. In places likethis, actually practically any place you take your break at thedesignated time. If you dont, you lose it. While I agree that thiswould have angered me, I would have chose to talk to the manager andask them to open the register themselves and help with the overflow ofcustomers. Not only did you decide TALKING was too much of aninconvience for you, you decided to leave your cart full of groceriesfor someone else to clean up! HOW RUDE! Personally if I was a managerat that Walmart I would review the tapes, get a clear look of yourface and not allow you to shop in the store ever again.
What we do at our store is when a cashier is going to be closing, amanager stands at the end of the line directing the customers toanother line. Then he/she blockades the register and does what needsto be done to swap out the cash drawer, etc. We never let anyone getin line and then refuse to wait on them. I think WalMart and other stores have done themselves a greatdisservice by having so many checkout lanes with no cashiers. Thatjust adds to the frustration people in line feel while waiting for oneof the 3 open registers.
I HATE it when stores do that to me. I completely understand yourfrustration and don't blame you a bit for walking out of the store. Great idea for the sign. Good on you for trying to be part of thesolution.
I do agree with other posters that talking with a manager would'vebeen the best option, even if you were angry. (Your anger probablywould've got your point across to the manager even more.) Other than that, I completely understand your frustration; I've hadthe same thing happen to me before. (And no, you shouldn't have to bethe one to break the bad news to the customers behind you. You don'twork there.) Your solution is a good one. Another one that I've seen other storesdo is to have a manager or other cashier tell customers this line isclosing, then direct them to a newly opened one.
Kati C., I don't like the idea of leaving a full,or for that matter a partiallyfull cart, with perishables in the line and departing. While you felt you were in no state to approach a manager that wouldhave been the past avenue IMHO. By leaving the cart you became part of the problem and not part of theanswer. However, your suggestion does make sense and it would be great forretailers to followup on it. Take care and let us know if they get back with you. BillR. ( anybody seen KenV.? )
at Walmart. They don't incur the same costs for labor as other stores(many of which are unionized) and hence, customer service suffers.Unfortunately, that's the choice, higher prices and better service orwhat Walmart dishes out in order to get cheaper prices. I don'tdisagree with your frustration, just pointing out the reasons for it.
It bites to stand in line, then have the cashier close just as you getto the front, but leaving your groceries to melt and congeal on theline didn't help the attitude of the cashier. You are offeringsolutions, but you are also part of the problem.

Museums & Galleries in Cutlerville
Recommended Museums & Galleries by Groupon Customers
Founded by local civic leaders in 1854, the Grand Rapids Public Museum continues to keep the city's history alive in the minds of its current residents with a trove of exhibits that explore West Michigan's natural and cultural past. Current exhibits and standing collections cast a spotlight on past and future centuries, giving voice to the stories that helped shape our modern world while speculating about when our politicians will be finally replaced with robots. If visitors to the three-story Van Andel Museum Center can pry their eyes away from the exhibitions inside, they will be treated to stunning views of the downtown skyline; similarly, the Roger B. Chaffee Planetarium enthralls with its panoramic photographs and up-close looks at the night sky.
Just as history constantly replenishes itself, the Grand Rapids Public Museum never stops working to collect local treasures, educate members through camps and special programs, and develop projects for the future.
UICA fills 4,000 square feet of gallery space with innovative exhibitions by contemporary artists, screens films in a 198-seat movie theater, and organizes creative classes for youths and adults. The institute is going into its 35th year of sharing and inspiring innovative, challenging forms of visual arts, and it continues to engage the public with events such as a speaker series.
With more than 30 interactive exhibits and activities, Kids 'N' Stuff Children's Museum provides a safe environment for youngsters to exercise their imaginations and bodies. A veritable microcosm of the world lives between the museum's walls. For instance, a grocery exhibit stocked with produce and frozen goods allows children to fill up their carts, run the checkout lane, and refuse expired coupons. An 8'x16' climbing wall challenges youth to literally reach for new heights of achievement, and an art room equipped with an accessible easel and large-handled paintbrushes invites them to figuratively jump for the sky. As a further enticement to the arts, a drama area encourages wee ones to create puppet shows and dress up in costumes.
Kids 'N' Stuff Children's Museum coordinates with area schools to incorporate and add to the themes from the local education curriculum, helping to reinforce the most important lessons kids are learning. Like NASA's recruitment department, this nonprofit's focus is on children aged 10 months to 10 years.

Following a recent trip to Portugal to source Nurses for roles in Ireland, the UK and The Channel Islands, Cpl Healthcare have been made acutely aware of the many talented Nurses in Portugal seeking work in other European countries. Like many other European countries the Portuguese economy has suffered badly with Healthcare being one of the areas badly affected by the downturn. It has resulted in recruitment and pay freezes in this sector leaving many Nurses either out of work or working excessive hours for low rates of pay. Does this sound like you?
Ireland and the UK have had their fair share of problems during the downturn however they remain two countries that can offer endless opportunities to experienced Nurses. In the public sector Ireland has suffered similarly to Portugal, however the private Nursing Home market is thriving, with Nursing Homes Ireland this year quoting that they had over 1,400 vacancies nationwide for Nurses interested in a career in Gerontology Nursing. Likewise there are shortages in the UK for experienced Nurses in areas such as Cardiology, Paediatrics and Neonatal, Theatre, Critical Care, Gynaecology, Oncology and Palliative Care. Ireland and the UK offer very good rates of pay to experienced Nurses and also encourage career development through continuous education and training.
If you have experience in any of the above areas and are interested in a career in Ireland, the UK or The Channel Islands then we can help you. After the success of our recent trip to Porto we are now coming to Lisbon on the 6th of September 2011 to inform and interview Nurses for job opportunities in Ireland and the UK. We will be there to advise you on how to register with the Irish or UK Nursing Board, assess your English skills and guide you to a new future in Nursing in another European Country. Get in touch to book your slot!

Cluster headache is a type of severe, recurring pain that is located on one side of the head. It received its name from the clustering, or pattern, of frequent headaches that usually occur.
There are two main types of cluster headaches:
Either type of headache may convert to the other type.
The cause of cluster headaches is not known. It is thought that there is abnormal activation of the area of the brain that is responsible for regulating temperature, blood pressure, hormone release, and sleep. The pain is thought to be caused by a combination of widening of the blood vessels and inflammation of the nerves of the face.
Other possible causes include:
Factors that increase your chance of getting cluster headaches include:
Symptoms of cluster headache include:
During the headache, other symptoms may occur on the affected side, including:

The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical and neurological exam will be done. A neurological exam may include examining:
The doctor will ask about the frequency and pattern of your headaches. To help provide answers, you may consider keeping a diary of:

Treatment aims to reduce the frequency of headaches and help relieve pain.
Drugs used to treat migraines often relieve sudden attacks of cluster headaches. These drugs must be taken at the first sign of a headache.
Drugs used to treat cluster headaches include:
In some cases, the headache does not last long enough for drugs to be helpful. Sometimes, the drugs just delay an attack, rather than stop an attack.
Pain killers, especially narcotic drugs, should not be used during an acute attack.
Other medicines may be given to prevent or reduce the frequency of headaches. Examples of these drugs include:
Breathing 100% oxygen for 10-15 minutes often relieves cluster headache pain. This is often viewed as the front-line therapy for cluster headache. The oxygen appears to decrease blood flow to the affected area of the brain. People under age 50 who have episodic cluster headaches seem to benefit most from oxygen therapy.
Oxygen therapy can be expensive, and there are risks with this therapy.
As a last resort, some doctors may recommend cutting or destroying a facial nerve to eliminate pain.
To prevent cluster headaches from getting worse, preventive medicine may be given. In addition:
