The V. F. W. organization is sponsoring another Cuss County Ex-Servicemen's Rally at the Armory Sunday, September 24. Legionaires, Veterans and their wives are especially invited to attend. Do to tne fact that so few persons interested, are fully acquainted with the rules and regulations governing soldier welfare, the local boys have secured Edward Nelson, Claims Supervisor of Soldier's Welfare of Minnesota, to give in detail all the new laws as well as discussing current regulations. Mr. Nelson will be glad to answer any question-; asked pertaining to individual cases. Coffee and lunch will be served by the Ladies Auxiliary.

CLOUD The Misses Eva and Paulyne Hardy of Whitefish, graduates of the local high school, left this week for St. Cloud, where they will attend a business college. MARLOW FEATURES MICKEY ROONEY IN HUCKLEBERRY FINN Warner Baxter brings back to the screen of the Marlow Theatre to-nite and Saturday O. Henry's lovable outlaw, whom he created in "In Old Arizona," in the 20th Century Fox production "The Return of the Cisco Kid.' The immortal Robin Hood of the Rio Grande inspires new action-pack- en legends of the old Southwest in this fast-paced, fun-filled film. Lynn Bari has her most important role to date as the girl for whom the romantic bandit sighs, while a thousand senoritas sigh for him. Production Chief, Darryl F. Zan- uck, also cast the remaining roles with great care and the result is a sterling lineup, including Cesar Romero, Henry Hull, Kane Richmond, C. Henry Gordon and Robe-'t Barrat. "Huckleberry Finn," a Mississippi River adventure written by that great novelist, Mark Twain, who is enshrined in the memory of millions of young and old, makes its appearance at the Marlow Sunday, continuing through Tuesday. Starring in the leading role of "Huck" is Mickey Rooney who creates an admirable "Huckelberry." Rex Ingram is outstanding as "Jim" with the comedy contributed by Walter Connolly and William Frawley, is the kind all appreciate. Humor and pathos are its main ingredients. Hokum comedy contrasts with threatened tragedy. It has mom ents of heartbreak and heartache. It provides lots of laughs and smiles. Its spectacle is adventurous life along the banks of the Mississippi and the fury of a »iob that cries for an innocent Negro's life. In theme character the production follows the letter and spirit of the Twain story faithfully. No attempt at modernization has been made. A truly grand picture. A man who carved a wild slice of life—who defied society to question his right to live and to- love under his own <x>de—such is the theme of Uni- versal's "I Stole a Million," co-starring George Raft and Claire Trevor, starting at the Marlow Theatre next Wednesday. Henry Armetta furnishes the comedy highlights as the proprietor of the flower shop which Raft decided to "hold up" for pin money, not knowing that destiny was going to change his plans again by having him find romance there—in the form of Claire Trevor. SPORTSMEN ENJOY HORSE-RACE EVENT The horse and Model-T races held at the fair grounds Sunday drew a good crowd and created considerable excitement. An odd feature of the event was the fact that it was necessarj to run three heats in each race to decide the winners. The Model-T races were quite interesting, in that each driver had to stop at the starting line each time around, stop his car and get out and re-start it before he could continue on around the track. The race was a three-miler which was good for six stops and starts, that proved the most exciting part of the race. Claude Bell got off to a good start witli Bill McAllister a close second and Spracklin of Osliawa, third. But at the end of the first round, Claude overshot the starting line and was forced to back up, stop his car and then get out and start it; here is where the fun began, he couldn't get it started for a minute or two and from then on was forced to take second position. Spracklin was minu- a low-band in his jitney so he needed a running start to get the thing in high which added to the excitement. Following the first race McAllister and Bell made the rounds again witn- out any stops and Bell finished first. Ben Robideau acted as starter and judge and John Kulla and Lewis Walton as judges. The horse racing results were as follows: 1st race: Himmelman, 1; Norwood, 2nd and Semmler 3rd. 2nd. race: wm. McAllister, 1st; Kladt, 2nd. and Bormau, 3rd. 3rd. race: A. J. McAllister, 1st; Borm-an, 2nd and Borman, 3rd, Free for all: Kladt, 1st.; Bobby McAllister, 2nd. and Kladt, 3rd. "Believe It or Not" Schuyler Colfax, Vice President of th U. S. under President Grant, was the founder of the Rebekahs, the ladies degree of the Odd Fellows in 1856. BURGLARS LOOT BUNGALOW CAFE M. E.

Early moping, at 7:40 a. in., Mrs. Anglo Volk of Swanburg, met with a serious accident which cost her, her life. Mrs. Volk had made an urgent call at the home of Mrs. \V. R. Hani- let and as she was leaving, she decided to put in a telephone call at the Clarence Peterson home, immediately across the road. In her haste, she failed to see an approaching car driven by Merle Marshall of Cross Lake, who was enroute to his work on the REA line. It was believed that the vehicle was partly hidden by the dust caused by a car passing a few seconds before. Mr. Marshall stated that he saw her but thought she was about to enter her car which was parked at this point. Instead of entering her car she walked across the road and stepped right in the path of the Marshall vehicle. The impact crushed the back of her head and caused numerous other bruises although no other bones were broken. She was picked up in an unconscious condition and taken to the Brainerd hospital. She passed away at 7 p. m. the same evening without regaining consciousness. The community is greatly shocked and grieved at her untimely passing. The body was brought to Pine River from Brainerd by the Northland Funeral Home. Funeral services will be held in Swanburg Saturday afternoon at 2 p. m. Interment will be made in the Evergreen Cemetery. She is survived by her husband, Anglo Volk; one son, Adna Volk, and one daughter, Mrs. Theo. Gansky. A complete obituary will be published next week.

Swanburg Pine Grange No. 716 —By— CHARLOTTE NEUMAN STATE AND NATIONAL CONVENTIONS Iris Engei left Wednesday for Minneapolis, where she will be emloyed. The State Convention of the Minnesota State Grange will be held this year in the Brainerd armory, October 17, IS and 19. Delegates from about seventy Subordinate and at least ten Pomona Granges will be in attendance as well as all officers of the State Grange and possibly some of the National Grange and visitors from all over Minnesota and adjoining states. Much work will be accomplisheu during the three-day session. It is at this time that representatives from all Granges in the state meet to form plans of legislative programs and all other possible activities of the Grange in .Minnesota for the ensuing year. All day-time meetings are closed with only members admitted. The evening meetings, however, are open to the public and anyone interested in see- ] ing how this great organization functions is invited to attend these meetings. Extention programs are being planned and some plans have already reached definite form. rl he first evening Gov. Harold Stassen will speak. The second evening will be spent in presenting the Youth Contest in which Pine Grange has three entries. Included in this program will be one-act plays, several musical numbers, readings, etc., all by people in the youth group of the Grange 14 to 30 years. Day-time meetings will be interspersed with various types of entertainment under the direction of -Mrs. Kelley Davis, State Lecturer and Mrs. Richard Synharst, Crow Wing County Lecturer. Crow Wing County hopes to prove a genial host to the Minnesota State Grange and all visitors at the evening meetings at which they hope to have a large attendance from Crow Wing and Cass Counties. With usually dry Indian summer days approaching, it would be well to give a thought to forest fire prevention. The unusually heavy growth of vegetation is rapidly drying up thru- out the forest area and killing frost can be expected any time from now on, and, unless we have more than average rainfall, the fire hazard will increase each day. Within a few days the fall hunting season will be on. and we make a special plea to the sportsmen to be careful with fire, while in the field. Notices have been sent out to Township Fire Wardens that no burning is to be done under Permit until after 4:00 P. M. each day. This gives the Look-out towers good visibility thru- out the most hazardous part of the day, and they are able to spot and get cross readings on any smoke that' shows up. A'lso, if smoke appears before 4: P. M., he then knows that it is not a permit fire and suppression action is required. May we have your co-operation and assistance in helping to keep our roadsides, lakeshores and forest areas green? You can do this by observing the following rules: Put your camp fire out with water. Don't throw lighted cigarettes, cigars or pipe ashes from cars, or while in the woods. Be sure tney are out before throwing away. Break your matches in two before discarding. MINNESOTA TO KEEP TRADITION Gov. Harold E. Stassen has declined to go along with President Roosevelt in moving Thanksgiving day a week ahead this year, and issued a proclamation Tuesday setting November 30 as the date for Minnesota's observance. Stassen said he did not believe "commercial consideration" should effect the traditional observance, which has been on the last Thursday of November. Governor Stassen's proclamation of the customary day, November 30, as Thanksgiving this year was the fourth in the nation, the governors of Kans-. as, Iowa and South Dakota having previously adherred to the regular day. No governors have as yet accepted President Roosevelt's choice of November 23 officially, although Governor Lehman of New York indicated he would designate the president's choice if other- states also did. The president's designation of Thanksgiving day is official only for the District of Columbia and federal territories. The official date in each state is set by proclamation of the governor in that state. Leaders' Council Met at Mildred Wed. Thirty adult and junior leaders attended the Leaders' Council meeting at the Mildred schoolhouse Wednesday evening, September 13. The meeting started with singing by the group. The discussion for the evening centered around the selection of suitable topics to be taken up by clubs at every meeting during the year. Witli the interesting list of topics suggested, these leaders will go back to their ln- divdual clubs and will plan yearly programs using the topics best suited to them. Problems arising in the various clubs of the county were discussed at length. Mrs. Oscar Nelson of Walker and Mrs. Ed. Dorsey of Pillager served cake and coffee. The Leaders Council will have their next meeting the first part of November. The program also included a piano solo by Frances Sorg and a reading by Zoe Mason. Oscar Nelson, County Agent, told about Cass County activities at the State Fair and Ruth Kjome County Club Agent, talked about the effect*? of 4-H Club work on a community. The meeting was closed by community singing. Mrs. G. E. Henderson entertained the Sewing Club at her home Wednesday. A social hour and lefreshments were enjoyed.

Three Riverdale students were hospitalized after they apparently inhaled fumes from a bus Monday morning. The Hancock County Sheriff's Office says the incident happened around 7 a.m. when the bus was near Houcktown. Students say they saw smoke coming from heater vents under the bus. Three teenagers were taken to Blanchard Valley Hospital for treatment. One of the teens complained of a headache and dizziness.
The rest of the students on the bus were taken to school by another bus.

As it was said before, PhotosNearMe is realistic application for Yahoo and oriented towards Yahoo needs. This is fine.
I think I can, as an average joe, with production applications on Y.App, counter some of these points.
I know Photos Near Me is a personal project of yours, sorry if I made it sound any other way, you deserve full credit for it. What I did mean is that it is the kind of application suited for Yahoo.
Yahoo lives of the advertisement it can sell on its pages and to do that it needs visually attractive, useful and responsive applications that can run on everything that hits Yahoo's servers. Peaking the curiosity of users by offering to see what pictures might have been taken around your location might be a good strategy to keep users on the site and, hopefully, watch more ads. In that sense, your application is the kind that works for Yahoo or any site supported by ads. As a sample of what most of us have to deal with, record keeping, accountancy, inventory, it is not. As for what Y.App is for, there is no need to remind me. That it has Y.Model as part of it, that is what really sucks. I can't say much against all the rest, it is quite impressive indeed, but it is Y.Model I can't stand. Before getting any more quotes from the online docs, I would appreciate if someone would actually take the time to read any of the links I posted and tell me, for example, why expecting support for multi-field primary keys is wrong, why assuming that a record that has no id is new is wrong or any of the other issues I clearly point out as big issues in the very first few lines of my md-model component description are wrong. Otherwise, the conversation seems to go on Y.App is great because Y.App is great because backbone.js is great as if this was about football teams. As I said, I can't say much against the whole of Y.App but, I insist, these few lines are stupid: isNew: function () { return !Lang.isValue(this.get('id')); }, they might work on non-SQL databases, but not always in SQL databases. And please take the time to read any of the links that I posted before replying or don't bother. |
By the way, I used the event-table idea from Y.View in my own gallery-makenode and used my own Y.substitute -based templating there as well (before handlebars was available in YUI) so, I have to admit, no, I'm not completely unfamiliar with Y.App.

See: http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/app/#com ... -framework `Y.App` is provided by the "app-base" YUI module. |
I may be missing the point, but Y.Model seems to me that it should be talking to an API and not something that even knows about SQL versus non-SQL.
Doing anything else seems like it would be a challenge for many different reasons. |

What I would be really interested in seeing is a HowTo use App in PhoneGap.
Reading this conversation, I realize that mobile may not, as I thought, have been the primary reason for developing Y.App, but it sure looks like a fine match. I agree that server side interaction, login, upload etc would be a very nice addition to any HowTo or tutorial about Y.App/mobile. I also think that adding a good PhoneGap tutorial might really help adoption of YUI in this space. And of course, the fact that none of the people in this thread who are "close to the fire" have actually tried to use PhoneGap with Y.App to produce production quality code, practically guarantees that there will be many loose ends that any developer who does try it will run into. Having said that, I just can't imagine that none of the people that often present at YUI conference etc has any cool experiences/insights to share in this area. |
I do not quite understand why Y.App is automatically associated with mobile. Granted, I should not expect YUI team show how to implement complicated Java server examples with databases.
But I would expect some samples demonstrating YUI widgets in mobile devices. Widgets is where YUI shines. For example, just building an equivalent of Android ListView that allows to pop up a "detail" view would be nice. What YUI widgets would you use? What CSS would you apply? How would you target such page for both mobile and desktop? What mechanism would you use to switch between views. This is where jQueryMobile really took the initiative. I can find examples of all these cases on jQueryMobile site and just start coding... But I want to use YUI! I am sure YUI team is in the excellent position to set the best practices, so that "regular Joe" does not have to reinvent the wheel. |

Quote: I may be missing the point, but Y.Model seems to me that it should be talking to an API and not something that even knows about SQL versus non-SQL. Doing anything else seems like it would be a challenge for many different reasons. I didn't cover this particular question so, here it goes. In non-SQL databases the main handle to whatever you inserted in it is its Id, which the database generates for you. Thus, if you have an id it is because the record has already been created. This also happens with SQL database when you set an auto-increment primary key field, but in SQL databases this is only an option so, when your table has not opted for such a primary key, the trivial assumption of 'if it has a primary key it is not new' fails. Thus, in an SQL table, the isNew() method of Y.Model might report a record as not new and make you mistakenly do an SQL UPDATE instead of INSERT. Of course, you can somehow get around this, several database engines have a non-standard REPLACE statement that will figure out whether to do an UPDATE or INSERT on its own, however, this should be no excuse to let Y.Model be badly designed. Also, Y.Model assumes the primary key to be a single field. This, once again, is true for non-SQL database, not necessarily so for SQL tables. My publisher keeps account of their books by their internal number, which is only part of the ISBN number. For them, my book is 0707, which is very easy to handle. Why would they bother with the full 13 digits if, after all, more than half of them are fixed (the issuing authority/country and publisher code is their own) and a few others are for the edition which, for the purpose of royalties, is the same. They still need the full ISBN number, because that is the primary key and is guaranteed to be unique, but they need it broken into several fields for practical reasons. Y.Model does not allow this, the primary key is just one field. Of course you can break it out later on. In fact, you can do plenty of things to work around the limitations of Y.Model but why should you? Why not have a well designed Model that can actually model what's really out there? Can Y.Model model any of the tables of the SAP system that prints your paychecks, does your invoicing or keeps your inventory? Those tables still give me nightmares. I don't know nowadays, but when I did some customizing some years ago, the table and field names were in German, which I don't speak so I had to have a dictionary at hand and even then made a lot of typos when writing those names. Very few of their tables have auto-increment fields and though most of them have single-field primary keys, lots of them don't. So, back to the original question of whether you can do CRUD with the app framework, yes, you can, with a non-sql database or a SQL table with a single auto-increment primary key. In many real life tables on existing systems, you have to work around Y.Model to get it done. That is a symptom of a bad design. This is just in reply to the SQL and non-SQL database question. Y.Model is plagued with several other issues which I hopefully addressed in my own md-model, but you'll have to read that to find out. As I said, I'm not using it myself so md-model might not be complete and my solutions might not be the best but, to my knowledge, it is not blatantly failed. |

Oakland County residents remember 9/11 WITH VIDEO
John W. Farrell was working in the South Tower of the World Trade Center on the 104th floor when an airliner hit the building 11 years ago.
Farrell, a bonds trader, did not survive the attack on Sept. 11, 2001. His department was evacuated to the 78th floor just minutes before the plane entered the building between the 78th and 84th floor. He was an extended family member of Rochester Hills resident Alex McGarry, who said he will always remember the devastating phone call.
Watch coverage of the remembrances on today's News at Noon.
width="620" height="348">
"My daughter (Molly Sullivan) told me that John was missing," said McGarry. "I was shocked. I knew John; I saw him at family gatherings. He was 41 years old. He was a very devoted family man, a fun loving person, a great father and a great husband."
McGarry said he will always remember Farrell's sense of humor.
"(Farrell) would drive to the commuter station everyday. There were a lot of people who worked in Wall Street who were quite successful driving Audis and BMWs, and he loved to park his old pick-up truck in-between a BMW and an Audi," McGarry laughed.
Farrell is survived by his wife Maryanne and four children. Continued...
"It's sad to see these great kids fatherless," said McGarry
His youngest daughter Kaitlin Farrell, 22, graduated in June with a nursing degree. McGarry said he received a letter from Kaitlin recently, telling him she was running in a New York City marathon in November to benefit the nonprofit Tuesday's Children.
"Her goal is to raise $3,000. Tuesday's Children is a group formed because the attack occurred on a Tuesday, and it helps kids who lost a parent," said McGarry. "It really helped (Kaitlin) get through these tough times."
Last year on the 10th anniversary of 9/11, Kaitlin was joined by other children who lost a parent on Sept. 11 and sang "God Bless America" during the half-time show of the New York Jets NFL game.
In a letter Kaitlin wrote on Tuesday's Children's website, she said, "When most people think of 9/11, it involves airplanes, the World Trade Center and terrorism. For me, I remember the dinners that were delivered to our house until April, the teddy bears that were made from my dad's Polo shirts and the little boy in California who sent his allowance to my family, just to name a few."
To sponsor Kaitlin, visit www.tuesdayschildren.org/calendar/details/167-ing-nyc-marathon and click on "Kaitlin Farrell."
The Oakland Press reached out to readers, asking them to contact the paper and share their memories of where they were when they first heard the devastating news. For those like McGarry and his family who lost a loved one on Sept. 11, the tragedy hit them the hardest. But almost all Oakland County residents were affected in some way or another.
For Oakland County Sheriff's Deputy Bill Storm, as soon as he heard about the attack, he traveled to New York City to help. He sifted through the destruction, looking for anything to identify those who had died and hoping he could find people who were still alive, trapped under the rubble.
"I believe all people will remember that day and where they were when it happened. I prayed daily for each and every one of our group as we served in New York," said Storm.
Orion Township resident Rylee Stanfield, 10, has never known a time before the terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2001.
When the planes hit into the World Trade Centers' twin towers, her mother Desiree Stanfield was eight months pregnant with her.
Rylee said, "My mom said that there's bullies everywhere you go — at school, at work — and these people who did this are just big bullies who wanted to kill people for no reason because they wanted to hurt as many people as possible.
"That's really messed up. You can't have a heart, and you have to be really evil to do that. And I just don't know why they would want to kill so many people."
Her mother Desiree said she was at the grocery store when a woman told her, "You're having a war baby."
"It was such an odd comment. I remember turning the dial on the radio to different stations because it was hard to believe the tragedy had happened," she said. "To think your child would be born during a time of turmoil and you didn't know if this was an isolated incident or if it was going to escalate into something that would get the whole country involved in a third World War — it was frightening."
Every year, Rylee sees old news clips of the planes crashing into the second tower.
Desiree said she thinks children growing up post-9/11 have a less innocent childhood than previous generations. Continued...
"I had to explain to a kid that you can't carry certain things on board an airplane because the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) is worried it might be a potential bomb. She doesn't understand why everyone is in line is taking their shoes off, and I told her we didn't have to do this before she was born," said Desiree. "I think (children) today are a little more aware and a little more jaded."
Pontiac resident Steven J. Ferrell was watching television with his co-workers when he saw the second plane hit into the World Trade Center's South Tower. His first thought was to think of his son Glen, a member of the U.S. Army Reserve.
"I remember my legs almost giving out under me. I had to sit down as I watched more of what was unfolding. Then the story came on about the plane flying into the Pentagon. I just remember thinking my son will be going to war soon," said Ferrell.
Glen was married in May 2002, and after only eight months of marriage, his unit was activated and sent to Iraq for 11 months. Now, Glen is still in the Army Reserve and is a sergeant first class.
His father Steven said, "Even now to this day, I start tear up and get a lump in my throat when I think about the day we took him to his unit to leave. It was so hard seeing his new beautiful bride have to say good-bye to her young husband. It was also so hard to hold my wife as she had to say good-bye to her son with none of us knowing what the future held."
Rochester Hills resident Jim Donnelly was a volunteer firefighter at the time of the attack.
Jim's wife Theresa said, "The Rochester Hills mayor's office had a meeting going on for employee saving investments. I knew about this because my husband was in that meeting representing the fire department volunteer personnel. The financial advisors in that meeting were from New York and had offices in one of the towers."
Because of that meeting, those people were not in New York in the twin towers at the time of the attack. Instead, they were in Michigan — which may have saved their lives.
Dave Page of Pontiac was working his second day as a 911 dispatcher for the Rochester Hills Fire Department. At the time, he was taking computer training.
"After lunch, we went back to training, and this time there were armed Oakland County Sheriff's deputies outside checking IDs of everyone going in," said Page. "The ride home that night was erie. I saw gas gouged as high as $5 a gallon, and I remember getting home in time to see one of the smaller towers collapse. The tragic events that happened that day have changed our lives forever. Nothing will ever be the same as it was. ... I know we have the best military out there and am very glad we are near Selfridge ANGB (Air National Guard Base) in case they are ever needed, but I can't help but wonder what the terrorists will think of next."
Several Oakland County residents were out-of-town when they heard of the terrorist attack.
Betty Klett of West Bloomfield actually saw the twin towers on Sept. 10, the last day they would remain standing. She and her husband Fred were on their way home for a trip to Europe. The pilot directed them to look out the window to their left so they could see the World Trade Center.
"I said to my husband, 'Oh my god, we are so close. It's almost scary because someone could run right into them.' He said, 'Don't be foolish. No one would ever do that,'" said Klett. "The next morning, we're up and we're getting breakfast. I put the TV on in the kitchen to watch the news. And that's when it started happening. I couldn't believe it. Right now, even talking about it, it sends chills up my spine."
She said she fell to her knees in the middle of the kitchen floor.
Randy Janowicz of Rochester Hills had just boarded a plane at Detroit Metro Airport and was waiting for takeoff when he heard the news. He was working as senior director for American Eagle Outfitters, and he was supposed to fly to Edmonton in Canada to launch the store's first international expansion.
The plane never left the ground that day. In fact, every airplane in the air on 9/11 was ordered to land by federal officials who feared other aircraft may have been turned into missiles as had the planes that hit the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and crashed in a Pennsylvania field.
"We had already pushed from the gate and had strangely stopped seconds before take-off. I had been on hundreds of flights — even encountered mechanical difficulties on the ground and in the air, but this one was especially odd as the nose had just lifted and then, almost as quickly, dropped right back down as we taxied to a stop towards the end of the runway," said Janowicz. "After about 10 minutes the captain announced that the flight was being canceled and that we had to be towed back to the gate."
Janowicz said two Northwest Airlines employees were sitting in front of him, and he heard one whisper to the other, "There's something really wrong. It's like an attack. On purpose."
Davisburg resident Norman Wood was in Missouri on Sept. 11, preparing to celebrate his wife's birthday on Sept. 12.
"The morning of the 11th, we had just eaten breakfast, and we were going back to the hotel room to head out to Silver Dollar City when a man ran through the parking lot, yelling that a plane had hit one of the towers," said Wood. "Seeing that we couldn't enjoy the vacation, we decided to cut it short and head home. We packed up and headed back the next day, which was her birthday. I bought a small American flag and put it on the radio antenna of the car. Many people pulled up along side of us and honked their horn."
He said that was a birthday his wife will never forget.
Pontiac resident Eileen Sherman was on a trip with seven of her siblings and their spouses on Lake Cumberland in Kentucky. When they heard the news, they were playing cards.
"All my siblings are seniors. Two are World War II veterans, and one is a veteran from the Vietnam War. We all took it very hard," said Sherman.

Application To Remain A Bureau/Admin
So with everything that has happened, they're saying we admins/bureaus should create blogs and explain why they should remain. While I find such blogs are sort of unnessecary as bureaus can only be removed by Wikia, I'm still going to do this to show why I am such a great fit to not only remain an admin but continue to be a bureau and be one of the three co-leads.
Remember, being an Admin or Bureau is not about power. It's about doing what is best to protect this wiki, make people feel welcome, helping the wiki grow and expand, and ensuring this wiki is a safe, happy, fun place. In light of events, so many people have told they don't feel safe anymore, don't feel welcome, they want to leave, etc. I pledge to change this. NO ONE SHOULD LIVE IN FEAR. You don't deserve to be afraid here. This is an example I plan to set and uphold.
Contents |
In My Experience HereEdit
My first day in chat, I wasn't made to feel welcome. I don't want others to feel this way. I promise to make this wiki the best place it can be and a place you can feel safe and happy again. In all the drama, people don't feel safe and secure anymore. Many have told me they are terrified, upset, scared, or don't feel welcome. We can't grow if we make our users feel this way. It's time to put the past behind us and strive to be become a better place. I will pledge my life to make this THAT place for you again. A wiki cannot thrive on drama, fear, arguments, inequality, suppression, etc. We have to make this a positive, welcoming place. I will do that for you!
In My DefenseEdit
First of all, I worked hard for my position. Now a lot of people try to chalk it up to being unfair or say that I sucked up to get it. Well, let me explain a few things. Trae promoted me to chat mod, yes. But he did it ONLY after he thought I deserved it and explained that he saw me become even more mature over the course that he knew me. So yes, a friend promoted me, but I STILL had to earn it. To be honest, most of the people in lead positions are all friends anyway because we're all in chat anyway and get close so it shouldn't matter. Jackie is my best friend, but when she promoted me to Spam Team and later dmin, we hadn't gotten that close yet. That happened as a result of us working together as admins. As for Doc, she got on to me all the time in PM just like everyone else. I definitely got the same as everyone else. And when she promoted me to bureau, it was as a result of all my hard work and maturity. I didn't "suck up" to Doc and yes, we were friends, but I am not above saying at first I thought she hated me as I thought she was picking on me. I do agree about a lot of the points raised about her and I was right there with the others, enforcing rules I didn't agree with. I had a close friend quit due to the dispute. As someone who attempted suicide in the past and survived, I felt it was harmful to suppress the very real issue of suicide. Anyway, I got my position fair and square due to my experience, my age, my maturity, and my love, knowledge of, and my dedication to Glee. I was here a year before I got any promotions and I worked hard for them. I in no way "sailed through" based on favortism. If so it wouldn't have taken over a year to get where I'm at now.
The fact that Doc is my friend shouldn't be held against me or used to prove I don't deserve to be here. I am not Doc. I'm Justin. I am my own, separate person. Frankly if it is used against me or held against me, it proves this wiki is still not a fair place where people are judged by their merits, but by the friends, just in an opposite direction. And that is not healthy for this or any wiki. This is part of what I plan to change. Pick people on merits, maturity, and capability only. Not on who their friends are or were.
I'm Here For The PeopleEdit
I am a very good fit for a bureau/admin because as I say in my profile, chat, blogs, etc that I am here for everybody. I encourage people who have issues to come talk to me so I can help them. So, people come to me with their problems and I help them because I care. When people accuse me of sucking up to Doc, it worries me because all I ever try to do in life is be a good person, get along with everyone, and not leave out or alienate anyone. What kind of a person whould I be if I just brushed someone off? If I was accused of sucking up to someone when all I ever did was try to be a good person and get along with and befriend everyone, it makes me worry about the well being of the wiki if our users consider being nice and impartial to everyone "sucking up."
I'm QualifiedEdit
I am older than most users on here so I have the maturity, experience, knowledge gained through my years to be a great leader. I have my own wiki which shows how much I can do in charge of a wiki. You can visit it here to see for yourself how much talent, drive, dedication, experience, and know-how I have. I have built that wiki from the ground up and it's always getting compliments on how nice it is.
I try to be impartial and fair. Even though Trae is a friend, I have called him out on his behavior plenty. I was a manager at a place I worked and I was just as hard on my friends when they didn't do like they were supposed to. But I don't hand out bans left and right. There is a fine line and I am not afriad to walk it.
The People Love Me and Want Me HereEdit
I am loved on this wiki. When I almost left due to an issue on top of the stuff I was dealing with at home, all the kinds words let me know that I was loved and respected as an admin. People said I was the best and/or one of the best and nicest admins on here. You can't deny/ignore someone who people love THAT MUCH in a lead position.
Thing of the PastEdit
Yes, I almost left once, but I've been here a year and half and only have once. A lot more people have said so more times than that. If I wasn't going a lot of stress at work and my mom I could have handled it wthout the break I took. Things are better both at work and home and now I'm in a much better place.
I have done a lot for this wiki as my edits and badges/rank show. I only want what's best for this wiki and the well being of the users here. I love Glee and I'm dedicated to it. I pledge my life to it and I will do what I can to make this wiki grow and honor Glee in a perfect, well rounded light.
I'm Not Gonna Play FavoritesEdit
I don't promote favorites. In fact, I have never promoted a Chat Mod as an Admin. I've never promoted a Admin as a Bureau. Why? Because I feel they don't deserve it, truly. You have to work hard to get far and some don't put forth much effort.
What I Offer For The FutureEdit
I pledge to work with the other bureaus in a team effort to do what is best for this wiki and for all of you. I promise to not let anyone fall through the cracks. Everyone will feel welcome, accepted, and loved. They will have a say in all decisions we make because this wiki belongs to everyone. I promise to make everyone feel welcome on the wiki, in the chat. I will listen to what you have to say, be there for support if you need it. I will do what it takes to restore this wiki to its former glory and help it reflect the values and meaning of Glee itself.
If You Want Me To Keep My Position...Edit
I can add more reasons as I think of them. So, if you love me as a person, think I'm a great Admin/Bureau, and think I deserve to keep my position, PLEASE VOTE in this blog and let them hear your opinion. Finally, your opinion means something again on this wiki and I pledge that what you have to say will be heard again! You have an opinion again!
Vote for Kurt's Boy 86 for Bureau/Admin! I care about you! I care about this wiki! Vote for experience, maturity, fairness, equality, and someone who is there when you need him and will go the extra mile for you, the people! Let's try to get as many votes as possible. At least 50! We can do it, guys! I believe in us!

Innovation Gets the Nod from IPC | | Print | |
The Independent Pharmacy Cooperative (IPC), located in Sun Prairie, Wisc., has selected Innovation as its preferred pharmacy automation vendor. The agreement with Innovation as the vendor of workflow software and automated counting and robotic dispensing will provide the more than 3,000 IPC member pharmacies with a variety of financial incentive programs and discounts on Innovations PharmASSIST product line. We are excited to offer this new automation vendor contract to IPC, says Gary Helgerson, CEO of IPC. Innovations PharmASSIST suite of products delivers a comprehensive collection of answers for the everyday automation concerns of our stores. Innovation recently introduced its next generation of the PharmASSIST SmartCabinet counting technology. The latest version incorporates a high-resolution, touch-screen display, a tuck-away keyboard and mouse drawer, and 46 independently operating tablet and capsule dispensers, which count prescriptions simultaneously. According to the company the new version also boasts the industrys smallest footprint of 3 square feet, the industrys highest dispenser capacity, a unique on-site dispenser calibration, and computer-controlled locked hopper doors. The filling capacity can be expanded by adding standard cabinets, each with 50 dispensers and the same small footprint. There is also the option of migrating the existing SmartCabinet system to Innovations Symphony+ counting technology with workflow software or to the companys ROBOTx robotic dispensing system. |

Mark James, former Ryder Cup Captain and current European Senior Tour Player to be Patron and Ambassador for Disabled Golf Association
Disabled Golf Association CIC (DGA) is proud to announce Mark James as Patron and Ambassador, for their not-for-profit community interest company. DGA have over 700 members throughout the UK and some overseas.
Mark James said "Whilst not disabled myself, I did suffer a life threatening illness. I was lucky enough to recover from testicular cancer in 2001 but can understand how difficult it can be living with illness and although for only a short time, a certain amount of disability. So when the opportunity to help the Disabled Golf Association came about, I jumped at it. DGA are doing great work all around the country in making golf possible for people overcoming their disabilities. To be able to show the power of the human mind in overcoming adversity and encouraging other disabled people to return to, or start playing golf, with all the therapeutic values that can bring, is something I feel quite passionate about."
Graeme Robertson, DGA National Events Co-Ordinator said "We are delighted to be associated with Mark James, a top golfer and former Ryder Cup Captain. I know first hand what a difference playing golf has made to my life, (I have MS) the therapeutic benefits are incredible."

Doesn't fit, doesn't protect Too short and too wide for iphone4--so it doesn't cover the entire back. It is also just a sticker. It is NOT a protective cover in any way. Very disappointed and can't return. Total waste of money. December 26, 2011

Do you plan to stake out your favorite toy store for that must-have gift?
Will you check out a movie, such as Lincoln or Skyfall?
Or do you plan to avoid the mall madness and the frenzied crowds of shoppers?

I am doing "Black Friday" - WYANDOTTE STYLE -- and callin' it Plaid Friday which is designed to help promote the small brick and mortar businesses that are open to the public year round.
The Plaid Friday objective is to stimulate support for local business during the Holiday Shopping season and to foster new customers for elevated yearlong foot traffic and sales.
Plaid is a little more interesting, friendly, relaxed and FUN....just like the brick and mortar businesses you see Biddle, Oak, Elm, Maple, Sycamore, etc.
Plaid is the new Black!

This is the first post from Inkdropart.
A daunting task, to suddenly be expected to fill the white glaring screen with writing, not only once but over and over again. And the posts will not only deal with just anything, but something as personal as the things that inspire me and how that inspiration translates into my pottery and drawings.
The suspense is almost unbearable – will anyone love it, what if people loath it, or worst of all – it just leaves the reader indifferent? There have already been many a time I've changed my mind about doing a blog, arguments such as; "Why would people want to read anything of mine", or "I can paint or do pottery I don't know if I can write about it", have been put forward, only to be met with equally strong counterarguments, both from the little inner voices in my head (we all have them admit it) and those wonderful people surrounding me. Those who think that what I create is actually something to hang on the wall. Literally in some cases.
So here goes, I'm plunging into the deep, unknown abyss that is called blogging. It's worth a shot isn't it, what's the worst that could happen? Punctuation gone wild?
I suppose this is the time to introduce you to what I actually do. Well since I'm someone easily interested in many things I do a lot of stuff, whatever I fancy at the time really. But it does generally fall into three categories.
-Ink illustrations, reminiscent of archaeological technical finds drawings.
-Drawing and painting naive colourful drawings or painting portraits.
Some of the illustrations and drawings are done by hand and some are digitally drawn, once again it really depends on my mood that day.
As time goes on I will post more info on individual pieces, but for now here are some quick examples:
My ink illustrations are mainly inspired by archaeology and are very reminiscent of what I draw in my day job – the main difference is the ones I do in my own time are done by hand, to a larger scale and sometimes embellished with gold leaf.
If my pen and ink drawings seem more like technical drawings, my freehand is the opposite, whimsical and inspired by naive art, lots of colours and happy images, and oddly enough a dash of medieval illuminated manuscripts. This is where I go wild with colour.
Portraits are a challenge as you want to translate the facial expressions accurately – that's why they are so much fun.
Finally the pottery is mostly pre-cast shapes into which patterns are carved before the item is fired the first time. These patterns often turns out to be inspired by nature or patterns I've seen on archaeological remains.
I'm sure as time goes on I'll be trying out more styles and techniques.
Hopefully I'll be able to post about it and you will be interested in reading about them. If you have any comments I'd love to hear from you!

The All Blacks, who had already sealed the title ahead of their opponents, Australia and Argentina, turned a 16-12 half-time deficit into a convincing win in Johannesburg.
The visitors ran in four tries, Sam Whitelock, Aaron Smith, Ma'a Nonu and Conrad Smith all crossing, with Dan Carter kicking 11 points, while Bryan Habana got the Springboks' only try as their kicking failings were again in evidence.
Ahead of the game South Africa captain Jean de Villiers backed rookie fly-half Johan Goosen to handle the pressure, his predecessor Morne Steyn having had a terrible day with the boot when the two sides met in Dunedin three weeks ago when he saw 22 points go begging.
But Goosen did not get off to the best of starts, missing two early penalties, the second rebounding off a post.
The Springboks got the opening try of the match in the 12th minute as Habana took a pass from De Villiers to run in unchallenged.
Goosen this time made no mistake with his kick as the hosts led 7-0.
The fly-half appeared to be finding his range and knocked over a penalty before the All Blacks got on the board in the 25th minute, moving the ball out to the left for Whitelock to race over the line.
Carter missed the conversion, but the visitors soon had their second try, Habana missing an interception attempt and Hosea Gear streaking clear before offloading to Aaron Smith, who scored under the posts.
Carter's conversion put the All Blacks 12-10 in front.
Elton Jantjies, on for Goosen, knocked over a penalty to put the hosts back in front by one and did it again on the stroke of half-time to make it 16-12 at the break.
The second half was all New Zealand, though, and they started it as they meant to go on, Nonu touching down after the All Blacks attacked straight after the restart and Carter adding the extras.
Jantjies missed two quickfire penalties as the Boks' kicking problems mounted, and their opponents took advantage with a fourth try in the 52nd minute.
Conrad Smith ghosted through a gap to touch down, with Carter's conversion making it 26-16 to the All Blacks.
Carter extended his side's lead with a drop-goal in the 63rd minute.
The hosts were thrown a lifeline when Israel Dagg was sin-binned for slowing down the ball, but the one-way traffic toward the South Africa line continued.
A Carter penalty with nine minutes to go took his tally to 11 and the New Zealand lead to 16, and Aaron Cruden even had time to miss a late three-pointer as the visitors closed out a convincing win.

Forums >Gears and Wears>new to trail shoes
This past Wed to shake things up a bit I hit the Appalachian Trail, which I'm very fortunate to have running basically behind my backyard. Climbing over and under trees, scrambling up rocks, jumping creeks, legs bloodied by thorns – it was really fun, and something I want to add more of. I know I probably don't "need" trail shoes, but my Kinvaras just about got sucked off by mud, and I don't want to trash good road shoes in the woods…and Santa asked what I wanted, so I would like to add some trail shoes.
I did search, and notice there hasn't been a trail shoe thread in a while, so…is there anything special I should look for, or just go for whichever basic NB, Asics or Saucony neutral trail shoe is most comfortable? Or do the trail shoe companies (Inov8, Soloman, etc.) add something new?
This section of AT is relatively difficult (steep, rocky, wet, switchbacky, fun).
But Och! I backward cast my e'e, On prospects drear! An' forward, tho' I canna see, I guess an' fear!
More experienced trail runners will chime in I'm sure, but I think most trail shoes have the standard features (toe protection; some sort of plate to save you from pokey rocks; softer, grippier rubber), so for the most part it probably comes down to weight and fit. I personally dig Inov8 (RocLite 295).
"Because in the end, you won't remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain."
Jack Kerouac
Welcome to trail running! It is really hard for me to do long runs on the road after falling in love with trail running. I worked as a fit expert for road runner sports in Denver, Co for 2.5 years and as far as trail shoes go, the biggest differences are color and how aggressive the tread is. Some have water resistant features (I would stay away from water proof...water will get in, where will it go?) and some type of rock protection. I wouldn't get too caught up in those features. It is all about fit. I love the kinvara so my feedback will probably work for your foot as well. My picks for you would be the
Brooks Cascadia (listed as a stability shoe but it is neutral, i assure you, I run in it myself, there is no medial post.)
Saucony Ride trail
Nike pegasus trail (non gore tex)
I can't say enough about the cascadia, I love love love that shoe, it is so versatile, flexible enough to be comfortable but has the structure to hang in there for the miles. I did a 50k in mine that had over 8000 ft of elevation gain and there were 4 water crossings in the first 3 miles. Good dry max socks and great shoes, no blisters in soaked shoes for 27 miles!
Hope that helps. Nate
Bacon Party!
Consider the type of terrain you're mostly like to be running and find something to match.
Check out the Inov-8 line for a really full range of options - even if you don't like them or they don't fit, you'll probably learn something about trail shoes that can help you find something suitable from another manufacturer.
Inov-8 don't fit me, but I sure wish they did! Right now, I'm loving the Merrell Pace (Trail) Gloves and the New Balance WT20/MT20 - but they're fairly minimal.
If you like your Kinvaras, you might consider the Saucony Peregrine as a good all-around trail shoe - not too purpose-specific.
pace sera, sera
Thanks all for the feedback.

Santa brought the Brooks Cascadia. Tried them out today. Awesome. Well, the run was awesome, and I assume the shoes had at least something to do with that.
Some have water resistant features (I would stay away from water proof...water will get in, where will it go?)
I have to chime in because it took me years of trying different shoes and different brands to discover one that I liked. I am in love with LaSportivas. I run in the Raptor, but most people I know have the Crosslite. They use the same material in the bottom of their shoes that they use on their rock climbing shoes. It is sticky like glue. You could cling to the side of a building with this stuff. It is great for rocky trails because you don't slide once planting your foot.
I have discovered that a lot of the big companies that make road shoes make some pretty meh trail shoes. They are just heavy, grey running shoes. The Brooks Cascadia is supposed to be great, though. I haven't tried it yet, but I hear nothing but good things about it.
Enjoy the trails.

I ran several years in Cascadias, but the current version doesn't work for me. Not a matter of suckiness.... they just don't fit. And trail shoes really REALLY need to fit right. (same reason why I publicly burned my Montrail shoes... people rave over them, so I bought some despite the fact that the fit felt weird. 100ish miles, three toenails, and one broken toe later... burnt. Montrail can kiss my ass)
I'm running in Mizuno Cabrakans now. Kind of chunky, but they actually FIT.
And once again Mr. Wizard (aka: Stevie Ray) explains the internet.

PHOTOS: 2012 Bristol Township Holiday Parade
The parade went from James Buchanan Elementary School to Ben Franklin Middle School Saturday afternoon. Did we snap your photo?
People of all ages lined Haines and Mill Creek roads Saturday for Bristol Township's 13th Annual Holiday Parade. A light wind whipped through the air as the parade moved from James Buchanan Elementary School to Ben Franklin Middle School just after noon. Local dance groups, football teams, string bands, classic cars, horses and fire trucks flowed along the parade route. On either side of the street, groups of children and adults smiled and waved. Downed tree limbs were visible from portions of the parade route. The downed trees were a reminder of what the Bristol community had endured just weeks ago after Hurricane Sandy. Saturday's event brought the community together and showed how resilient and vibrant the area is.
