STEUBENVILLE - Jerek Q. Wesley, 23, of 118 Garfield Ave. was indicted by the Jefferson County grand jury Wednesday on murder charges in connection with the March 26 shooting death of a man outside a downtown bar.
Quentin R. Nelson, 24. and Leroy Benjamin, 23, were shot around 2:05 a.m. on March 26 outside Pee Dee's at 160 S. Fourth St. Nelson died two days later in a Pittsburgh hospital.
A silver or light blue car drove by with two men, both wearing black masks, and shots were fired, City Police reported.
Benjamin was hit in the leg near the knee, and Nelson was hit in the lower back, police reported.
Wesley was indicted on single counts of aggravated murder, murder and felonious assault.
Four Chicago men and a city man were indicted on drug charges in connection with a Oct. 23 raid on a home at 1401 State St.
The Jefferson County Drug Task Force along with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department, Hancock-Brooke-Weirton Drug Task Force, federal Drug Enforcement Administration and the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation participated in the drug raid.
Authorities said 50 grams of heroin, an ounce of marijuana and $12,500 in cash, along with various drug paraphernalia and other evidence were seized during the raid.
Indicted in that case were Grant C. Coleman III, 31, of Chicago, one count of drug trafficking, one count of possession of drugs and one count of tampering with evidence; Terrance "Crunchy" Jones, 20, of Chicago, drug possession; Raymond C. Franklin, 20, of Chicago, drug trafficking and possession of drugs; Jovan A. Poe, 21, of Chicago, drug trafficking, possession of drugs and tampering with evidence; and Tracy J. McGowan, 31, of 1401 State St., three counts of permitting drug abuse and one count of drug trafficking.
Three people were indicted in connection with the burglary of a house in the 300 block of Braybarton Boulevard that occurred around Aug. 30. Indicted on single counts of burglary, complicity to burglary, theft and receiving stolen property were Lloyd M. Hayes, 25, of 2612 Sunset Blvd., Alex C. Evans, 27, of 120 Wildon Ave. and Perry Jones, 25, of 1308 Pennsylvania Ave.
Two men were indicted in connection with the Nov. 14 burglary of a house in the 100 block of Bantam Ridge Road, Wintersville.
Harry W. Richard, 24, of 500 Wallace St., Brilliant, and Ronald R. Hawthorne Jr., 30, of 3102 county Road 25, Rayland, were each indicted on charges of burglary and complicity to burglary.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Department reported a neighbor on Vireo Drive, outside Wintersville, saw two men opening a window at a house next door. The neighbor got a gun and confronted the men, who took off running.
The sheriff's department reported an elderly man was asleep in his bed inside the home that the burglars were trying to enter.
Several police agencies. including Cross Creek, Wintersville and the Ohio State Highway Patrol, searched the area and found Richard and Hawthorne hiding behind a business on Bantam Ridge Road.
Deputies searched the men and found gift cards, cash, a Kindle Fire and a couple of iPhones. The deputies were able to determine the owner of the Kindle Fire and contacted that person at work. That person went to his home in the 100 block of Bantam Ridge Road and discovered the house was broken into.
A television and jewelry also were taken. A deputy said those items were found in the woods behind the home.
The grand jury also returned the following indictments:
Ashley N. Zrinyi, 23, of 2202 township Road 378, Steubenville, theft from an elderly person and misuse of a credit card.
Michael K. Greathouse, 21, 517 Highland Ave., two counts possession of drugs.

Finger move tolerance when tapping
I've heard and seen users whose taps on any tappable items in Sencha Touch such as buttons frequently fail.
The reason is that Sencha Touch is very sensible to any finger movement while pressing/tapping.
This is not how native iOS apps behave.
In a native iOS app you can tap/press a button, move your finger on the button and then release it and it will fire the button's action.
This doesn't work in Sencha Touch applications which is nicely reproducible through the kitchensink's "Touch Events" page. Moving the finger slightly triggers the dragstart, touchmove, drag, touchend, dragend events, but not the tap event.
What's y'alls opinion on this? Is that by design due to any constraints? Can this be improved/fixed?

I would agree that the tolerance is a little sensitive. I personally haven't had an issue but I'm also a developer that understands what is going on. I have opened a bug in our bug tracker.

Thanks, Mitch.
Exactly, I haven't that big of an issue with that myself either since I naturally seem to tap carefully.
But imagine everybody else as well as situations like meetings where you look together with somebody else on a tablet and maybe tap from the side (that's where it also happens to me).

Our QA hit this issue in testing.
When testing on phones, our QA found it could take 2 or 3 presses to get a 'good' press. We developers didn't notice it as we were working in Chrome with a Mouse.
The mouse tends to stay on the same pixel, while fingers on a phone tend to move a bit.

Here is our workaround fir this:
We found a workaround using: 'Fixed Button'.
First, the URL to the code: github.com/roycyang/Sencha-Touch-Extensions
This extends the Ext.Button:
Ext.define('GT.Button', { extend: 'Ext.Button', xtype: 'fixedbutton', config: {
items: [{ //xtype: 'button', xtype: 'fixedbutton', iconCls: 'refresh', iconMask: true, align: 'left', id: 'MainViewButtonRefresh' },

Hey guys,
We have just deployed our app and found that a lot of our customers aren't able to tap on buttons as well. Was wondering if there has been any further progress on this issue.

I've noticed this too, but I always blamed myself.

The problem is a 'tap' event fails in Sencha Touch as soon as you 'move'.
A simple fix is allow 1-2 touchmove events before you invalidate the tap:

I've noticed during attacks turn order will shift around as shown in the top right. What causes the turn order shifts? It's not from characters being paralyzed or from any buffs; it occurs when using normal attacks. Turn order seems to shift more often on the enemy's turn than mine.
What makes turn order shift like that? What general factors determine turn order?

I live in a house that was built in the 1930's. I'm paranoid that the old pipes for hot and cold water(for the kitchen, shower, etc..) are contaminating the water. Is this something I should be worried about? What is the best way to test the water that flows through the pipes in my house?
Water testing (from what I've seen) is cheap and easy enough that it's worthwhile to do if you are worried at all. If you're in the US, check with your local Department of Natural Resources to find out where to get a sample kit. Where I live, it's $10 for a container and testing from my State Health Lab.
Typically, you'll need to sterilize a faucet before you take a sample (either using a torch or flushing it with bleach) and you'll need to drop it off for testing fairly quickly (24-48 hours). This is third-hand from my home inspector (and I'm sure different labs have their own requirements for prepping and collecting the sample) so definitely read the directions you get with your kit. I recently purchased an older home with a well and I'll be doing a test myself this week so I'll be able to follow up with actual experience soon :)
Your locality should test water in the area on a regular basis, but this is via sampling, so problems specific to your home will be missed.
You can almost certainly send a sample off to a lab and have it tested, and the EPA may point you towards someone that will perform various tests, particularly for lead. But since we're all about DIY, the easy solution is to pickup your own test kit which will help identify problems in your own plumbing. You can find these on amazon (search on "drinking water test kit" if the link stops working), and if you're lucky, the local HI store may even stock these.
Note: I've never used one of these kits before, so I can't personally vouch for their reliability. However, I have sent samples of water to my municipality in the past (I didn't receive an individual report back from this). For best results, you need to sample the first water that comes out of your tap after sitting overnight.
In some areas, you can even get a free water test. Here in Toronto, we got a free water test and our lead levels were higher than I'd like, although still within the range of acceptable.
Seems like finding out how much it would cost you to get a water test, and then getting one done if it's not too expensive is a reasonable step to take, particularly if it'll give you some peace of mind.

Greetings, I would like to share a few shots from a commercial shoot I just won and completed BECAUSE I can now shoot panos.
This Michigan client found me on Google and explained they needed 6 locations shot around Atlanta. It involved a lot of interiors and exteriors of dental offices. As we were discussing the shoot I inquired if she was interested in considering interior panoramas. She was interested. I submitted an estimate and heard from her the next day. Even though my price was 20% higher I got the gig...largely because of the panos.
I started shooting last Tuesday (May 17) and submitted images to her very early this morning. Very long hours, and I won't bore you with the "regular" images, but I added the panos to my portfolio here: http://carrollmorganphoto.com/portfo...-and-skylines/
One question: How can I get "straight" lines? Is it possible?

I am trying do some testing examples with Facebook and Flash (using the Adobe Facebook AS3 library). I have followed the examples located at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/facebook/articles/flex_fbgraph_intro.html
All was going really well and I got through to the step 4 part of the process and this is where things fell over. According to that document you need to be able to check to see if your Flash object is being hosted via Facebook or via your own site.
You do this by checking top.location (either via JavaScript or ExternalInterface.call method in Actionscript). However when I do that all I get is undefined. I have also tried various things :-
Top.location.toString() = undefined
Window.location.toString() = http://local.evanine.com:8080/userstatus/
Window.Top.toString() = [object DOMWindow]
Top.document = undefined
getPage() = Test 8:- undefined
getPage() is a Javascript function called via the ExternalInterface.call and all it does is return top.location.href
However, if I goto the same Flash object on my own site then it shows the right information it only displays this when embedded in an iFrame inside Facebook.
So, finally to my question :)
Since Facebook requires App Developers to use SSL, am I seeing this because I currently do not have an SSL certificate on my server ? Is this a security thing ?

I am trying to learn how to do some error catching/avoiding in ArcPy. Here is a simplified version of what I would like to do. I would like to take some points, and then check to see if there is a line in a line feature class with a matching ID to the point, and the same thing to match each point to a polygon. If each point doesn't have a matching line and polygon, I want to skip that point and move on to the next. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Here is an example script showing how I am trying to do this:
# Import arcpy module
import sys, os, time, arcpy, smtplib

LineFC = r"D:\WorkingDirectory\Geoprocessing\Work.gdb\lines"
PolygonFC = r"D:\WorkingDirectory\Geoprocessing\Work.gdb\points"
Line_idField = arcpy.AddFieldDelimiters(LineFC, line_id)
Poly_idField = arcpy.AddFieldDelimiters(PolygonFC, poly_id)
rows = arcpy.SearchCursor(PointFC)
for row in rows:
Pt_id = row.pt_id
PTpoly_id = row.poly_id
PTline_id = row.line_id
#This section if for skipping null values to help prevent crashes
arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management (PolygonFC, "Polylyr")

#This is where I get an error - it doesn't like the IS
PolyIDnull = Poly_idField IS NULL
arcpy.AddMessage('\nThis site does not have a polygon : ' + str(row.pt_id))

Nissa's adorable handdrawns
ok here is my first official handdrawn doll and i must say it turned out amazing and i am soo happy with it!
base link: Chocotini on deviantART
this is for the forums contest
i did the time of february for Valentine's Day of course. i named this girl Emma and Emma has just gotten ready for the Valentine's Day Dance. she was about to walk out the door when she noticed a card had been slipped under her door. it had a big heart on the front of it and she opened it and a bunch of pink and red heart confetti came out. she read it and in big letters is said "Will you be my valentine?" and she noticed it was signed by her crush of 2 years (lol long time). it also said if yes meet me at the dance but if no you will break my heart. of course she was going to say yes but she was soo happy that her crush had finally asked her out.
plz plz plz!!!!! give me CC on how i should improve or what i should do different and i am just sooo happy with this doll! i was going to do a boy but i got frustrated with him so i decided not to lol
my fav part of this is the hair and of course the dress lol
It's pretty good for a first. ^__^
The shoes are superb, they are normally the hardest to make.
The hair most definatley shows promise, although it is kinda pillow-y. :P
What are the things on the side of her neck though? o:
Check out Watermelon bubblegum for some tuts. (:
The shading on the dress looks an awful lot like mines style though. :/
There's a lot of promise here for your first time :) I'll take this piece by piece to let you know what is right, technically wrong, and how you can improve. Also, bravo for attempting a fellow(even if you gave up). They are notoriously "difficult" and many dollers don't even bother.
Hair. Now, your shaping is actually good for a first try. The outer outlining is very natural, with only a few issues here and there. There are some spots in the bun where it is sharper in shape when it should be more rounded (note the right and left sides where you start to move in again--a long line before you starting moving inwards would help this). Your inner outlining(the bangs) is the major issue. There is a bump on the right side and your outline should be smooth(I've done buns several times, maybe it would help to take a look at my more recent dolls? Just a suggestion since I do them so much and looking at other dolls can be very helpful).
I'm impressed you attempted stranding, it took me ages to do it and I'm still not crazy on the concept personally. A wider palette(with 6 colors) would be helpful for you here. When stranding, you'll want to use the next light color in the palette around it, as well as lighten the strand as you go. This is a somewhat complicated concept that I know I'm not explaining well :/
Dress. Dithering gets you major points. A lot of people don't do it and it really is necessary to get smoother shading. I'm a fiend on it, so watch someone else some along and point out that I don't use it massively or that its not necessary :lol: The outline of the bottom of your dress needs some work. It needs to be more wavy, like a real dress, right now it seems very rigid, which could work, but it needs more dropping between each level. I'll suggest waviness for now, rigid outlining is a bit more advanced and obviously I don't want to overload you. You have to basic shading concept down for the "levels", just include a bit more highlighting along the bottom portion, right now it is a bit too dark.
Also, you'll want to add folds around the waist. You know though folds in your shirt that form when you put it on? They are there for dresses too. Try adding a few lines along the waist and shading them, it will improve it a lot.
Shoes. You did a great job on them, actually. I don't have much critique, your palette here was good. The highlight could be a little lighter and having a pixel go back down before the heel doesn't flow smoothly. Just have it on the same level as the second to last or one higher to keep with the smoothness.
thanks for the help kitty i will deffinitly try to put ur help into action for my next doll lol
antimaie the shading looks similar to the one u do because i couldnt find a good dress tutorial for short dresses so i used the dress in the SS gift u made me as an example of what it should look like but that was only for a first doll i am deffinitly going to be trying different styles of shanding and using folds and things like that so i hope i could be as good as you and kitty and everyone else real soon lol
also the things on the side of her neck are earrings lol i know they look really bad haha
here is my entry for lovie's forums contest
base link: http://chocotini.deviantart.com/
3 things i used:
snowflake (50x50 pixels)
ok so i call her Alice. her name is Alice because it has the word "ice" in it and she is an ice wintress. she is the one responsible for winter. she makes the many different snowflakes with her special sceptor. the big snowflake is her latest creation and now she has to send it out into the world with her sceptor.
CC and kudos are welcome and i think the hair is a lot better this time than the first time lol
O>O wahhh you are too good!!!!! i mean your first one was amazing for a first and i love the hair on the secound one !!! and i can never get the shading right on the dresses/skirts!!!
thanks soo much u r too kind :D and you should keep trying and look at tuts and u will be a pro in no time
It is an improvement from your last one, I agree - even though your first one was much better than my first. xD
I have a couple tips that might help you. ^_^
*Shade the skin darker under the hairline and anywhere else where clothing meets the skin. This gives more DEPTH to the doll, making it look more real and almost 3-d and less like a how a paper doll would look. =D This isn't necessary for those starting out, but it's something that really improves the doll and only takes a couple seconds.
*Some of the folds are a little weird looking. The ones at the bottom look pretty good, but the midsection ones look like they aren't loose enough. Loose folds are more diagonal (/) and less horizontal (-). The angle of the folds influences the shading, so tight clothes would have horizontal folds, and baggier/looser clothes have diagonal folds (or vertical, when talking about the bottom of a dress).
*There are still some unsmoothness going on with the outlines:
See how the first curve and line are much some "smooth" looking? Try to work towards that. ^_^
*** The greatest tip of all, edit, edit, and EDIT some more! If something doesn't look right, try and fix it. Then, if it still doesn't look right, fix it again! :P Editing is the most crucial part of doll making. It's like editing an essay - a little editing can pull you from a B to an A, no problem! =D
thanks sooo much hayley!!
i wasn't sure how to do folds around the mid section so i will try again with a doll i am making my friend
i will work on fixing the curves and "smoothness" of the lines
the second doll i spent an hour alone just editing and fixing things but thanks a lot for the advice i will take what everyone is giving me and put it in my brain lol so i can use it for my future dolls
this is my entry for the Miss TDP2: handdrawn contest
Base Link
Name: Kylie
Fairytale Represented: the Fairies
Short Explanation/Comments: Kylie is dressed up as the younger daughter and how she thinks she would look. since the mother despised the younger daugter she doesnt have any shoes. since the fairy gave her the power to drop roses pearls and diamonds from her mouth when she speaks i gave her each of those items (she is wearing the diamonds as earrings)
CC is greatly appreciated plz
BTW this was done by my sister kate we share an account and she wanted to make an entry i just want you people to know that i didnt make it my sister did

New to hashtables with a simple question. For some reason googling hasn't gotten me a straight answer. Say I've got an
<int,String> hashtable set up:
and I want to change "bird" to "fish" (and leave the index the same). Can I just do a simple
put, or do I need to delete the entry, or what?
While we're at it, for a simple array-type data structure like this, with unknown length, in a threaded environment, is a hashtable appropriate?

8 Summer Blockbusters Guaranteed to Disappoint
#2. License to Wed (July 3)John Krasinski, Mandy Moore, Robin Williams
The Case For: Let's remake Anger Management with Robin Williams in the Jack Nicholson role! They're both winners of the Best Supporting Actor Oscar, after all, and Robin Williams is one of the most successful comedic actors on the planet. Plus, the kids seem to like that Krasinski guy from whatever TV show he's in.
The Case Against: We'd always assumed that Robin Williams was one of those comedians whom our parents (who don't watch TV and have only the vaguest understanding of who Jon Stewart or Seth Rogen are) probably find side-splittingly hilarious. We phoned them to confirm this, though, and it turns out they find him grating and upsetting too.
Verdict: Who's the audience for a Robin Williams movie these days? Is there one? Prisoners at Guantanamo Bay? Show of hands: Who even bothered to see Man of the Year, Robin Williams' vanilla attempt last year to impersonate Jon Stewart? Show of hands: Who thinks it might have made more sense to cast Jon Stewart?
If We'd Made It: We'd stop forcing talented up-and-comers to earn their paychecks by propping up Williams' sagging, deflated career. (Not only is The Office's Krasinski in License, but so are three other actors from the show; Arrested Development's G.O.B. and Buster appeared in RV; and Lewis Black still hasn't regained the credibility he lost in Man of the Year.) From now on, genuinely funny comedians star in comedies. Robin Williams gets to cater them.
If he balks at that, Robin Williams gets to stay at home in his pajamas and entertain his family with his gay hairdresser routines.

CNN-On a relatively quiet day on the campaign trail, former President Bill Clinton stumped for President Barack Obama at a university in Miami on Tuesday, urging young people to register, then vote come November.
Appearing at Florida International University, Clinton called the election pivotal, saying, "If you sit on the sidelines, you are responsible for the consequences."
"I keep reading that young people are not as sure as they were four years ago that they're going to vote," he said, going on to reference his speech at the Democratic National Convention last week. "I tried to argue down in Charlotte last week that that's a bad mistake, we've got a lot of reasons to vote and we've got a good candidate to vote for, and we need to get out here and do that."
As he did at the DNC, Clinton defended Obama's record on issues such as the economy, federal budget, and health care.
Recognizing that Tuesday was the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Clinton spoke about his own experience with the tragedy, plus that of his daughter and wife, who was then a U.S. senator from New York.
The former president said that his remarks were appropriate on Tuesday because the day is "being honored by service projects all over America, by people trying to be good citizens.
"And the most important thing that I can say today, before I get into my remarks on behalf of the president, is you just have 27 days to register to vote in Florida," he continued, adding it would "honor the people who have worn the country's uniform" to "be a good citizen."
"The least we can do is show up and vote," he said. "And when people try to discourage you from voting, which is happening in a lot of these voter changes all over America, it should redouble your determination to vote."
Clinton was also on the offensive against Obama's GOP challenger, Mitt Romney, and Republicans in general. He characterized Republican attacks that Obama had "robbed" funding from Medicare as "peddling that old dog. "
"It's a mangy old dog," Clinton said. "It's not true."

The first Bowling Green City Commission of 2013 may not have been the most wild meeting, but several appointments and items were approved.
One item the city approved was for new sidewalk construction along Russellville Road and East Eleventh.
"We have allowed in our budget a certain amount of money for sidewalk construction. We want to continue those projects throughout our community to provide safe sidewalks for our citizens," said Bowling Green City Commissioner Melinda Hill.
The commission also approved a small expansion of the city.
On the first reading, commissioners approved roughly ten new acres to be added near the new Smallhouse and Cave Mill Road intersection.
It was basically a small island of county that the property owner wanted incorporated into the city.
"Approved it because the property owners approached this city, and I hope citizens understand that. We did not go to them, they came to us, and asked for us to annex them," said Hill.
City officials say this will help because now this area can receive city emergency services and there won't be the confusion.
Tonight was also the first meeting for newly elected City Commissioner Rick Williams.
"I'm anxious to get started, and I have been for a number of weeks so this was nice to be let out of the starting gate," said Williams.
It was a relatively quiet night for Williams who made a few motions, but he came to the office with some issues on his mind.
"There were several things that came up while i was out talking to people, going door to door. In most cases, most people are interested in what's happening at the end of their driveway," said Williams.
The first meeting of 2013 is in the books, but city officials have a lot ahead including a retreat next week to outline the entire year.
The small expansion near Cave Mill and Smallhouse Roads will not become official unless approved on the second reading.
The next meeting for the Bowling Green City Commission will be the first Tuesday in February.

Hi Edmund,
But also for the GPL Version or only for subscribers?
Thanks for your answer!

Ext.define missing from ext-all.js and ext-all-debug.js
The new Ext.define function is missing from the 3.4.1 ext-all.js and ext-all-debug.js files. Is this an oversight? Or is it expected that if we want that functionality we should use Sencha SDK/Sencha Cmd to build/compile?

Is support required to get 3.4.1 upgrade if you purchased a 3.x license?
Can someone confirm that I need to purchase a support license to get the bug fixes in 3.4.1?
I purchased a Ext JS 3.x - Single Developer License sometime ago. While this entitled me to upgrade to 3.4, it does not appear to allow me to upgrade to 3.4.1. The cheapest stand alone support option I found was for $299 which is almost what I paid for the my 3.x license.

You better check with sales because last time I tried to just purchase a support license for a commercial license I had purchased over 12 months prior, they said support had to be continuous and that I would need to purchase support for the prior year that I didn't have it, and for the new year I wanted.. You will most likely have to buy the license & support combo.

SAN ANTONIO (April 8, 2013) – Florida Panthers Executive VP/General Manager Dale Tallon announced today that the club has returned on loan forward Scott Timmins to the San Antonio Rampage (AHL). In conjunction, the Rampage have returned forward Garrett Wilson to the Cincinnati Cyclones, the club's ECHL affiliate.
Timmins, 23, suited up in two games for the Panthers in his second call-up of the season, recording 20:32 of ice time between the two games. The 5-foot-11, 191-pound forward has now played in 22 career NHL games. Timmins has tallied 11 goals and 11 assists in 60 games for the Rampage this season. The Hamilton, Ontario native was drafted by the Florida Panthers in the sixth round (165th overall) in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.
Wilson, 22, suited up in 26 games for the Rampage this season, tallying three goals and two assists along with 19 penalty minutes. At the time of his call-up to the Rampage on Feb. 4, Wilson led the Cyclones with 19 goals in 38 games. The 6-foot-3, 218-pound forward was drafted by the Florida Panthers in the fourth round (107th overall) in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.
The Rampage will travel to Houston for a two-game series on Thursday and Saturday in the team's final two road games of the year. Puck drop for both contests against the Aeros is 7:05 p.m. The Silver and Black will return home on Sunday for a 3:30 p.m. tilt against the Texas Stars in the final Express-News Sunday Funday of the season.
Tickets for all remaining Rampage home games start at $10 and can be purchased at the AT&T Center Southeast Box Office, by calling a Rampage representative at 210-444-5554 or online at sarampage.com.

STEUBENVILLE - Ohio Valley native and 2006 Catholic Central High School graduate Rebecca Vallera-Thompson said working as assistant technical director for Walt Disney's new hit animated feature "Wreck-It Ralph" has been a dream come true.
Vallera-Thompson, daughter of Frank and Sue Vallera, formerly of Steubenville, said she's thrilled to have completed her first assignment for the entertainment industry giant. "Wreck-It Ralph" opened last weekend to box office gold and has been the highest-grossing animated feature ever for the studio that was a non-Pixar film, earning $48 million, according to Vallera-Thompson.
"(The movie) was released last weekend, and it was No. 1 at the box office, so I was really excited. On the movie I was the assistant technical director," she said, adding the film stars the voices of John C. Reilly and Sarah Silverman.

WORKING ON 'WRECK-IT RALPH' — Ohio Valley native Rebecca Vallera-Thompson sits at her desk at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, Calif., while working on technical issues for an upcoming animated production. Vallera-Thompson, daughter of Sue and Frank Vallera, formerly of Steubenville, recently worked as assistant technical director on Disney's hit movie "Wreck-It Ralph," which opened last weekend and has been one of Disney's highest-grossing animated films.
"My job was to create computer programs to help the artists do their job more efficiently. The artists are very good at what they do, but not always at expressing what they want technically."
Vallera-Thompson, who also is listed in the film's credits, said she had the opportunity to assist with shooting the film "in stereo," or in 3-D.
After high school Vallera-Thompson attended Ohio State University and majored in computer science engineering, with a minor in art. She said her break came when she interned at Pixar Studios.
"During college I interned at Pixar Studios in Emeryville, Calif., I did that in 2009," she said. "I started at Disney in March of 2011. That was what I really wanted to do."
Vallera-Thompson also said she doesn't consider herself an artist. Her minor in art helped her to be able to communicate with artists working on the animation. Her goal was to land a job with the studio, she added.
"I'm really lucky in the sense Disney was my first gig right after college," she said. "I wanted to be an animator at Disney, but I also knew the technical side, and I have to understand what the artists wants. ('Wreck-It Ralph') is my first in-theater movie."
She previously worked on the made-for-TV movie "Prep and Landing - Naughty But Nice," which was broadcast last holiday season. She said working at Disney is an adventure, and there are firm deadlines and some overtime required when working on animation.
"There's a lot of overtime," she said, adding she generally works around the artists' schedules. "That's just the nature of the business. We actually work 45 hours a week. It's very flexible."
Vallera-Thompson said she already is working on the next Disney project.
"I'm working on a new Disney film called 'Frozen,'" she said, adding the animated feature will be released next holiday season.

I've just started playing around with opengl es on the iphone the past couple of weeks and i'm looking at refactoring some of my code to use Vertex Buffer Objects(VBO). Before I do though I would like to make sure it'll be worth it. The problem is that afaik the only reason you create VBO's is to shift a chunk of data onto the graphics card so that it doesn't need to be retrieved from system ram when it's used. The iPhone however does not have any dedicated ram that I'm aware of so i'm struggling to see why I would benefit at all from using VBO's. I have seen talk around the internet with conflicting opinions and apple certainly want dev's to use it so there's probably still a reason to use them but just wanted to see if anyone on SO had an opinion to add.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I saw no performance improvement on an iPhone 3G. I moved a bunch of stuff to VBOs, but eventually backed it out as it made it more difficult for me to pursue other performance gains. It's not the quick 25% performance increase that I was hoping for.
I've read somewhere that it can make a difference on the newer hardware (3GS), but I don't have references to back that up.
It depends. (sorry).
Rob didn't see an improvement for his setup, but here is an interesting post that did see a large improvement.
The main reason to existence of VBO's is the presence of static data on 3D models. The first bottleneck you encounter is the slowness of copying data to video memory (by using the unavailable glBegin/glEnd block or glVertexPointer, glBufferData and friends).
Let's imagine the old "flying toaster" screensaver. All toasts are static (changing only the position) - why waste resources copying them every frame from CPU's memory to GPU's? Copy it once with buffers and draw it with a single command. And, depending on how you do animations, even the animated toasters can be described in a static fashion.
My first 2D game I started without VBOs. When I changed to VBOs, no difference (like Rob). But, when I refactored to use more static buffers, FPS gone from 20 to 40. Since my goal was to reach 30, I was satisfied. I had some ideas to refactor even more, leaving everything static, but I don't have time now (game is on review, next one to come).

I am running 12.04 LTS on a VM. I encountered a problem with the screen being black and the familiar orange background showing for a fraction of a second when clicking or resizing the screen. I had to shutdown the machine and now I have no GUI. I only get a black command-line interface.
As some other posts suggest, I attempted:
sudo service lightdm restart

Why was the traditional character 滾 simplified to 滚? It's only one stroke less so it seems doubtful that it was done to make the character simpler to write. Does it change the meaning of the character in some way or is there any other logical reason why this character was simplified in this fashion?

Not a real answer (i.e., a total guess), but too long for a comment:
Zhongwen.com (a useful resource for issues etymological) says that the traditional character 袞 ("imperial robes") comes from the characters for official (公) and clothes (衣), with the bottom part of 公 altered to 口. As many simplified characters are based on common alternate/handwritten forms, it is possible that the variant with an un-altered 公 survived because it appears to match the meaning of 衮 better than the form with the 口. The simplification committee may have followed that precedent when deciding on the simplified form.
(The simplified form of 滚, of course, would naturally follow.)
『滾』 is the formal form of gun3. 『滚』 is just used in normal people (like 『閱』『門 + 兊』(yue4)). This difference could be seen anywhere before. These days there are still many differences between Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese like 『強』『强』(qiang2). (I am not sure 口 is formal or 厶 is formal.)
Simplified Chinese just chooses the forms written by normal people(『俗體字』) first. So then, 『滾』 is simplified to 『滚』.

Has anyone come across a software package that allows you to build animations in a similar way to how you can in Flash (i.e. using techniques such as tweens & bones & easings, etc) and then have the result exported as a sprite sheet?
closed as not constructive by Tetrad♦ Feb 26 '13 at 4:09
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
You can use Flash, a 3D Tool or even Photoshops animation feature. Then render the frames to images and combine them to a sprite-sheet.
ImageMagick has a great tool for that purpose called montage. Here's a blog post explaining how to use it to create a sprite sheet.
While those techniques work well for vector graphics, they don't translate well to pixel art. Sprites don't tend to handle rotation or scaling without distortion, so hand editing is essential.
Two products worth looking into for spriting are Cosmigo's ProMotion and GraphicsGale. Onion skinning and other features are available. But if you want clean pixel art, automation isn't going to do the job.
edit: Okay, my brain is tired. A cup of coffee later and I realize what you're looking for. You could try out SynFig, which looks like it might be adaptable to your needs :)
The way we make our animated sprites is by rendering out frames from a 3D modeling program.
I use Gamedev Animation Studio for create animation. It can export animated images into C# classes which i instantly include into my project
ToonBoom studio is a flash like animation tool and can export sprite sheets.
I've been using Texture Packer to create sprites for my iPhone game. It's similar to Zwoptex but has a free version. I'm porting a game originally developed in Flash, so I'm simply exporting each frame of the MovieClip to png and then importing those images in Texture Packer.
Use gimp and its plugin called sprite sheet
I'm pretty Sure you can use Flash and go file > export movie> png sequence. Then combine the pngs using Photoshop to make your sprite sheet. Also check out the animation features of fireworks.

Finding a splitting field of $x^3 + x +1$ over $\mathbb{Z}_2$.
Ok so originally I messed around with $x^3 + x +1$ for a bit looking for an easy way to factor it and eventually decided that the factors are probably made up of really messy nested roots. So then I tried looking at the quotient field $\mathbb{Z}_2[x]/x^3 + x + 1$ to see if I would get lucky and it would contain all three roots but it doesn't. Is there a clever way to easily find this splitting field besides using the cubic formula to find the roots and then just directly adjoining them to $\mathbb{Z}_2$?
Edit: Ok it turns out I miscalculated in my quotient field, $\mathbb{Z}_2[x]/x^3 + x + 1$ does contain all three roots.

Search is defaulting to an OR combination of the search terms, which IMHO is a mistake (and also, BTW not the default on Google). I would prefer search to default to ANDing the terms instead of ORing or at least have the possibility to configure this as a preference.
What is meta?

To all the critics: "And" is the default in all decent search engines. It just makes sense: if you are adding keywords you want fewer results.
This has been annoying me for some time now, and I'm hoping this could be reconsidered.
While it is possible to work around this by prefixing every search keyword with
This is now implemented in a simpler way; just begin each word with a + if it must appear in your results, eg:
+1. Search functionality of any sort is only useful when there are enough items that it's not feasible to look through all of them to find what you want. Therefore it's obvious that setting a single search term will limit the list of items that you have to browse through to find what you want. And by inductive reasoning users will expect that since adding 1 term reduced the list of items, adding another term will further reduce it. Q.E.D.

But too late to change my vote.
ANDing instead of ORing is a bad idea, lets use an example - someone is searching for
By default these terms are ORd together, and the results ranked and sorted by the frequency that each term appears in the document (for example the term "C#" is far more common than the term "Page" or "Master" and so when scoring pages more emphasis is given to these terms). The end result is many pages, however because of the ranking the ones that contain most or all of the given terms end up at the top of the results.
However crucially note that although results that contain all terms are favoured, results don't have to contain all the terms - for example there may be many useful questions on master pages that don't use the words "how" or "to" (which are not considered stop words).

A fire was reported at Westcourt Apartments in Olivia Feb. 7, and as a result of that fire an investigation was conducted by the Olivia Police Department in conjunction with the Olivia Fire Department, Renville County Sheriff's Department and the state fire marshal.
The investigation has led to the determination the fire was accidental, and foul play is not suspected.
During the fire it was discovered Billy Eu-gene Camper, 64, of Olivia had died, but the investigation at this time has led to the determination the death has been determined to be of natural causes. A full autopsy report by the Anoka County Medical Exam-iner is pending final toxicology results.
The process of cleaning the apartment building continues and is expected to be completed soon, with residents able to begin moving back in within the next few days.

Top 13 Reasons To Leave Bank of America!
The Coalition of Eastern Shore Progressives (CESP) will be staging a protest this Saturday, November 5th, at 11am. The group is targeting the local Bank of America branch, located at 1145 S. Salisbury Blvd, across from Salisbury University.
This action is being held in conjunction with MoveOn.org's National Event, urging members to move their money out of the Big Banks that were responsible for the financial meltdown and continuing attacks on their customers and the American taxpayer. There will be hundreds of protests across the country, at local branches of Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Chase, Citigroup and other Banks Too Big To Fail. It is hoped that the action will generate changes at banks, and additional government regulations that will prevent the same type of financial debacle as the country suffered in 2007, including the massive unemployment, foreclosures and loss of $20 trillion in Middle Class wealth.
Here are some of the many reasons why Bank of America is being targeted:

I heard that it was some sort of emergency fund or something.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Foundation
In order to gain acceptance as a commercially supported operating system, there was the promise made that LTS (long term support) releases would be supported for 3 years on the desktop and 5 years on the server.
Businesses needed to know that the support behind Ubuntu provided by Canonical was not about to disappear.
The first LTS release was 6.06 Dapper Drake in 2006 and at that time there was some doubt that Canonical could promise this support commitment at all.
Would they even exist in 5 years time?
Mark Shuttleworth put his money where his mouth is and put up $10M to hire Ubuntu Community Members as the Ubuntu Foundation so if Canonical disappeared as a Company the community would have the resources to continue to support the distribution.
I am not sure what has happened since then but this public promise allowed doubts of the viability of LTS releases to be put aside and helped the adoption of Ubuntu.

Author Kerry Madden-Lunsford will discuss and sign copies of her new book, "Nothing Fancy About Kathryn and Charlie," on Sept. 19, 7:30 p.m., in Goodwyn Hall 109. The illustrated biography, with artwork by the author's daughter, Lucy, celebrates the friendship between beloved storyteller Kathryn Tucker Windham and popular folk artist Charlie Lucas.
Kathryn Tucker Windham, who died in 2011, was a noted Alabama storyteller and former journalist, perhaps best known for "13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey." Charlie "The Tin Man" Lucas is a self-taught artist popular statewide for his scrap metal sculptures and other works of art. Three of his pieces are currently on display on the AUM quad and he is planning to attend the book signing.
Longtime Selma neighbors and friends, Windham and Lucas began their special friendship with the simple gift of a tomato sandwich. They discovered stories, art, and laughter while exploring the bustling streets and back roads of Alabama together.
Mockingbird Publishing, owned by AUM English alumna Ashley Gordon, published the book. A cause-based, independent publishing company, Mockingbird was established to coordinate the production and distribution of literary works while raising awareness and funds for social outreach and charitable organizations. All proceeds from "Nothing Fancy About Kathryn and Charlie" will be donated to Windham's beloved Selma-Dallas County Public Library. Books will be available for purchase at the event.

FILE - In this Thursday, June 28, 2012 file photo, President Barack Obama speaks in the East Room of the White House in Washington, after the Supreme Court ruled on his health care legislation. (AP Photo/The New York Times, Luke Sharrett, Pool, File)
President Barack Obama says a bill to keep construction workers on the job and prevent a spike in interest rates on new loans to college students will make a real difference for millions of Americans.
Obama signed into law legislation allowing more than $100 billion to be spent on highway and other transportation programs during the next two years.
The projects would have expired June 30.
It also keeps interest rates of 3.4 percent for subsidized Stafford loans for undergraduates.
The rates would have doubled for new loans beginning July 1 if Congress hadn't acted.
The president was joined by construction workers and college students for the bill signing at the White House.
Obama signed the bill following a two-day bus trip through parts of Ohio and Pennsylvania.

One of the players in my favourite sporting team the (Go the All Blacks!) does this interesting rotating exercise. My question; I'm wondering what the exercise is called, what benefits would you gain from the exercise/ the muscles it affects and how to preform the right technique. From the clip it almost looks like some kind of strengthening for the core.
Please view Rotating and lifting heavy plates the exercise is at index 1.50 minutes.

Right, left, or bipolar?
Several friends have sent this image to me. Supposedly, the direction in which you see the dancer spinning reflects which side of your brain is dominant.
Apparentlymost people see the dancer rotating in a counterclockwise direction. When I first looked, Isaw her spinning clockwise. But with some effort--and it took a while--I was able to see the dancer rotatingcounterclockwise. What do you see, and can you make the switch?

How strange . . . when I opened the page it was definitely going counterclockwise, but when I looked again after reading the post it was going clockwise, and when I just logged in to make this post it had reversed again.Power of suggestion?
My take was exactly like your's Grant - she looked clockwise, then after I little work, I was able to see her counter-clockwise. Then it took a little more work to see her clockwise again :-)What about this, though: since we see her in silhouette, presumably she is backlit. The shadow pattern on the floor would only make sense, then, if she were were rotating clockwise.
Same here. First time counterclockwise, then three or four times clockwise, then another counterclockwise. I must just be crainiologically hopeless. Although I do wonder if it is a hoax, with a program designed for random direction.
All I have to do to get the image to change direction is to scroll it halfway off the screen.
I'm almost hopelessly clockwise. In order to change to counterclockwise, I have to say "Okay. She's standing on her right leg." It takes a while before I can make that switch.Grant, that means you and me are exactly the same.
Same experience as rest of you.In addition, if you wait long enough without scrolling, you will see the dancer changing direction.
Clockwise, clockwise, clockwise. I can see how it might switch if I stare at her out of the corner of my eye. But she always flips back. But I think the master stroke is Grant's finding an excuse to put naked (nude?) dancers on the blog. Bravo! I can't wait for the Commonweal mudflaps.
Here's a little test you can take to find out if you're right- or left-brained, for what it's worth. I fall EXACTLY on the line between both, so you'd think I'd be a perfectly balanced individual.However, what the test results revealed is that people like me (who are mercifully few and far between) are highly creative, but that gets quashed by their inner critic.So they end up accomplishing very little.Lucky me!But the woman's going clockwise. I can't see her going any other way. I think she's just wearing a body stocking and David Gibson has a dirty mind.
Sean: When you see her moving clockwise, I see her moving counterclockwise, and when you see her moving counterclockwise, I see her moving clockwise.Joe: I wondered if it was a hoax, but I had someone in my office looking over my shoulder and insisting she was moving only counterclockwise, while I kept seeing her changing directions.Grant: As this passes around our office, and out to friends at other offices, work all over America is grinding to a halt.
Kinda reminds me of the beginning of James Bond movies. I wonder if you would get as much interest in this if the dancer were a guy with a codpiece?
Joe, if you're taking a poll, yes.
After being momentarily transfixed by the loveliness of the dancer's form, what direction she appeared to me to be moving in depended on whether I looked directly at or indirectly. When looked at directly, she moved clockwise, when I glanced slightly down, she appeared to move counter-clockwise.For it's worth.
Actually, I do have a dirty mind, yes. I still want the mudflaps.Remarkably, she does turn into a gent with a codpiece once she starts spinning counter-clockwise. Just keep watching...
Clockwise, and with great effort, counterclockwise. Does this mean I can't be on "Dancing with the Stars"?
In case you want to see a real, live dancer do this (but in one direction only)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOdE0P7K0HM
With great difficulty I can make her go counterclockwise but not reliably.
Without getting too complicated, the left side of the brain is the thinking or learning part while the right side is for habitual behavior. I saw it clockwise for a time. Then when I called my wife in she saw it clockwise also. Then I saw it counter, but it took my wife a few more seconds to notice it counter.
I am glad that David has the courage to admit to what I could only muster enough fortitude to allude to by way of an euphemism. I, too, want the mudflaps!
Clockwise.It's pretty easy to "switch it at will, though, which is strange!
OK. For me, it was definitely clockwise first, then counterclockwise for a while, then clockwise again. Which makes me suspicious. I can't seem to will it to go back in the other direction, it just seems to do so of its own accord after a while. That either makes this a big joke, or demonstrates that my brains is slow to shift gears!
Yeah, Mark, the same thing is NOW HAPPENING TO ME!!!Grant, stop playing with the spinning lady and get back to work. Or put up a spinning Liam Neeson.
Just to be clear, it is David Gibson who wants mudflaps. (I had to Google the word to find out what he was talking about.) And I was the David who brought up what Merriam-Webster Online said about whether "data" was singular or plural. However, Fr. Komonchak gave the credit to David Gibson in the introduction to the "Criterion, criterium, criteria, criterias?" string, thus denying me my 15 minutes of fame.
I don't get it. Wiki says a mudflap is "a man with a bald head with longer hair in the back. "
Oh, I've been hard at work for hours, Jean. An odd sense of calm has visited me now that I know I can see whatever direction I choose in the mysterious spinning dancer. Now I know what it's like to be a high-level Scientologist.
Grant, call up Tom Cruise on speed dial and ask him what I can make for supper that will only take 15 minutes because I've spent all my meal preparation time looking at Spinning Barbie who is now telling me that I should build a bunker in the backyard and ... ooops, Raber just drove up, so I guess it's take-outs. Maybe some of those Marie Callender pot pies ...
She is definitely going in a clockwise position. I consulted the "Cathechism" on this question, and it says the same. So I guess the discussion ends here. Correct?
Started clockwise. Moved to counterclockwise. Moved back to clockwise. My mind has a mind of its own.
Brigitte Bardot as she was?
David Nickol, just for the record, I set the record straight--and Father Komonchak--on that Latin solecism. Or whatever. I never take credit for the errors of others. I have enough of my own. If indeed you were in error.In any case, I've spent the last half hour in a sweat wondering if my hairdo would be considered a "mudflap" cut under Kathy's definition. Kathy, if you search "mudflap girl" in Wikipedia you'll see her. Or just go tailgate some semis out on the Interstate, like I do...
David Gibson,Sorry about your hair.Do you mean the mud flaps with yosemite sam or calvin or hobbes?Men, I'm sorry about male pattern baldness all around. It seems like it must be somewhat tough to go through and I don't think we ladies give you enough credit for dealing with this issue with relatively few abominable comb-overs. So keep up the good work, men.See, just a little respect.David N.--awesome video. Jean--you call him Raber?
Okay, I see nothing but clockwise.Nothing but clockwise.Nothing but clockwise.Nothing but clockwise . . . . . Oh, I give up. It's getting late, and I need to get to bed.But wait. I just clicked on the link to the Daily Telegraph piece and found that the description of those who see her going clockwise matched the way I like to think about myself--with the characteristics that I value the most (e.g., creative, big-picture, imagination, "gets it," fantasy based, etc.). Whether that's really true about me is a matter of great debate, mind you, but there it is.Now that I know this, I don't think I'll ever be able to force her to move counterclockwise. Now, is that the power of suggestion--or human pride?
BTW, Is any one going to the Votf conference in Providence this Friday the 19th? I am looking for someone to car pool with. Clockwise or counter clockwise.
Hmm.When I open the browser I see only the top half of the picture. Obviously, counterclockwise.Once I scroll down and see the whole picture, obviously, clockwise.Maybe Jim Pauwels is on to something. I think my brain is trying to relate the dancer with the shadows on the floor and can basically only make them work if the dancer spins clockwise. And funnily, I think that my right-brained way of seeing things is more logical. In the counterclockwise scenario, wouldn't her lifted foot's shadow pass behind the stationary foot's?Or is it because I'm right-brained that I even care about the shadows?
My trick was initially to focus on the shadow and move up from there--that's what got the image to appear to be spinning counterclockwise. But now I see it both ways without thinking about it. Strange sensation.
I viewed this lady spinning exactly opposite of Sean Hannaway. I originally saw her spinning clockwise, then after reading the description below and looking back up, she went counterclockwise. She continues to go counter-clockwise each time I look, no matter how hard I try to see it the way I first saw it.
Fascinating. . .I saw one revolution of counterclockwise, but only when I clicked on the Daily Telegraph link, where the dancer appears on the right side of the page. Then, she went back to clockwise.Grant's strategy of starting with the shadow and moving up didn't help, either.Then, I read the description of left- vs. right-brain attributes again, and as I was reading, she shifted to counter-clockwise for only a moment. As soon as I focused on her again, she went the other way. And just won't go back no matter how much I try to coax her around.Must mean I'm stubborn and inflexible, no? Or perhaps a hopeless romantic? Or just optical illusion-challenged.
My kid has ADD. He says, (and I'm not making this up), "She's spinning clockwise, no! counterclockwise! no, clockwise! no! counter ... can I have a granola bar?"
I couldn't see counterclockwise till I focused on her legs. Does that mean leg-men have one half-brain dominance and other men the other?I tried to see her going side to side, not spinning, but that didn't work.
In the seminary the psycology professor put a picture of a women's torso in the board and asked us what we saw. All of us deliberately said it was something else.
I was paying particular attention to her feet.Does this mean I have a foot-fetish?
Whether clockwise or counter-clockwise, the figure still has female breasts.
She also has a pony-tail and very nice posture and balance, and I wish you fellas would quit leering at her like she was some kind of pole dancer.The trick to making her go side-to-side is to watch the extended leg. Make your eye move in the opposite direction of the leg and she will switch directions, and go back and forth.
Jean, I think you lack a certain Niebuhrian Realism about Man's (and I use that in an exclusive, gendered sense) fallen nature. Or at least my fallen nature. Which is coming to resemble aspects of my physique.

Trail Map of Oahu's Makapu'u Point Lighthouse Trail
A gradual climb to see a magnificent lighthouse and migrating whales
Back to guide detail
6 votes
Viewed 93,886 times
2.0 miles, 1-3 hours
This hike in the Ka Iwi State Scenic Shoreline offers great views of the eastern shore as well as views all the way to Moloka'i and Lana'i on a clear day.
If you are here between November and May you may be lucky enough to see humpback whales migrating between Oahu and Moloka'i and Lana'i. Look out for water spouts in the distance.
This entire hike is along a paved path with great views the entire time, and is a hike not to be missed. The lighthouse is not open to the public, but you can get close and take some amazing pictures with Waimanalo's beaches far below.
This entire hike is exposed and this area of the island can be very hot. Bring plenty of water and sunscreen—you may admire the views from the top for longer than you expected.
Bring binoculars if you are here during humpback whale migrating season (November-May).
Trail head
Turn off Kalanianaole Highway just before you bend around the island headed toward Waimanalo; park in the parking lot directly after the turnoff. The trail begins at the far side of the parking lot along the paved path.
The trail
The trail to the lighthouse is paved the entire way and climbs gradually the entire hike. To your right you can see Koko Crater in the distance and cacti near the side of the trail.
Great views
As you pass the halfway point on the way up you will start hiking north toward the lighthouse. You will see more cacti along the path and if you are hiking during whale migration season (November to May), you may see humpback whales swimming between Oahu and Moloka'i and Lana'i.
On a clear day you can see all the way to Moloka'i and Lana'i. Continue along the path until you reach the top.
Makapu'u Lighthouse
At the top you will see the Makapu'u Lighthouse, one of Oahu's most famous landmarks. The lighthouse was built in 1909, but sadly you cannot go inside or to the top of it today. However, you can take pictures of the red and white lighthouse against the bright blue ocean in the background.
Views of Waimanalo
Near the lighthouse you will have amazing views of the eastern side of Oahu, with views of Waimanalo Beach and even Kailua and Olomana peak in the distance. From the top you can see how blue the water is and you will likely see swimmers and surfers down below.
If you want a little more of a challenge, hike up the dirt trail to the west, up to the bunker. From here you can see Koko Crater in the distance and the parking lot below, as well as a nice panoramic view of the whole island to the west.
