Police: Customer, unhappy with lottery results, chases clerk with wheelchair
A customer who became unruly after finding out his lottery ticket was not a winner prompted a call from a Speedway employee to the Oak Creek Police Department last week.
According to the police report:
The employee called police after the 51-year-old man became loud and boisterous, kicked a shelf over and chased the employee around the store with his wheelchair after finding out his ticket was not a winner at 6:45 p.m. Thursday at Speedway, 8667 S. Howell Ave.
The man eventually left the store and no charges were filed.

Due to thefts, Oak Creek police advise women to leave purses home when shopping
Police are advising women not to place their purses in their shopping carts after two women had their wallets stolen while shopping at Oak Creek grocery stores last week.
According to the Oak Creek police reports:
A man stole a wallet out of an 80-year-old woman's purse while she was shopping at Pick 'n Save, 6462 S. 27th St., about 3 p.m. Jan. 26. The woman told police the man took the wallet out of her open purse after he helped her load a six-pack of water and some Solo cups into her shopping cart.
The man is described as a 6-foot-tall man with light brown skin; short, dark hair and a grayish goatee; and wearing a dark tan jacket. The wallet, worth about $9, contained a driver's license, medical cards, a credit and debit card, a $25 gift certificate and other membership cards.
Police checked with store security but the incident was not captured on video surveillance.» Read Full Article
Brown Deer boys rally to earn share of Woodland title
It's like Brown Deer boys basketball coach Kelly Appleby said:
Well, the Falcons clinched a share of the Woodland Conference Eastern Division title Tuesday night with probably their best quarter of the year, as they erased an eight-point halftime deficit to host Whitnall with a 33-8 third period frenzy that left their hosts looking for the bus that had run over them.
The end result was an 87-72 decision that improved the Falcons to 13-1 in Woodland play and 15-3 overall, while Whitnall fell to 8-6 and 10-7, respectively. Shorewood at 8-5 is the only team with an outside chance of even tieing the Falcons for the divisional crown with four games left to play.
Appleby said the team simply needed a change of strategy.
"We were working really hard at a tight man defense in the first half," he said. "What we needed to do was to try something that was more usable and more conducive to success for us."
Which was full-court, in-your-face man pressure, which would tighten up the gaps left as the Falcons had fallen behind, 41-33, at the half.
Brown Deer got the third quarter off to a good start, as a three-pointer from senior D'Sean Groce on the first possession, cut the deficit to 41-36. The host school bumped the lead back up to seven on a nifty lay-up by Daniel Weymier at the 7:31 mark of the third quarter.
Those would be the last points Whitnall would score for close to four minutes, as the Falcons would go on a 19-0 run that put them ahead for good at 55-43.
Senior point guard Desmond Jackson would get the go-ahead points on a three-pointer from the wing at the 5:44 mark of the third and he and Groce would combine on a unique five-point play that all but broke Whitnall's back a minute later.
Jackson (14 points) got a steal and a lay-up to make it 49-43 Brown Deer. It was determined that he was fouled after the shot so Brown Deer got the ball back. Groce then calmly took the inbounds' pass and notched a baseline three-pointer to make it 52-43.
A minute after that, Groce closed out the run with a trey from the wing that expanded the lead to 55-42 with 3:44 left in the third. Whitnall, which had expended two timeouts during the run, simply had no answers as Brown Deer would go on to take a 66-49 lead at the end of the third.
In the third, the Falcons hit 12 of 22 shots, including four threes, they would dominate the boards by a rough estimate of 15-1, force five turnovers and equal all the points they scored in the first half in just one period of play.
Brown Deer would hold Whitnall at bay in the fourth quarter as courtesy of 17 of 24 free throws on the night, the advantage would never drop below 10 points.
Appleby said the game was very similar to wins earlier in the season over Greendale and Pius XI, as in both those decisions, the Falcons fell behind big in the first half, only to rally and win going away.
"Both those games we responded very well early in the second half," said Applby. "We knew we could put some pressure on them and speed up the game a little."
Both Jackson and Palmer were pleased with the conference title, which was a very important first goal for the 10-man Falcon senior class.
"It's always good to get that out of the way first," said Palmer.
"It feels good because we've earned it," said Jackson.
Center Devante Jackson, who would foul out of the game in the fourth quarter, would also finish with 18 points for the Falcons while Whitnall was led by Mitch Brault with 17.
Appleby was a happy and relieved man afterward as the Falcons can win the championship outright with a victory at St. Francis next Tuesday (Feb. 5).
"We have either a share of the Woodland title or we've won it outright (a tie for the moment), but we just want to keep the momentum going. We want a full head of steam by (WIAA) tourney time."
Palmer agreed.
"We can still do a lot better," he said. "We have a lot more building to do until we reach our full potential."
Meijer pulls plans for Franklin store
Franklin - A Meijer official today informed Mayor Tom Taylor that the company is no longer pursuing a 190,000-square-foot store at the southwest corner of Highway 100 and Loomis Road.
Taylor told NOW Newspapers that Mike Flickinger, director of real estate for Meijer, called to inform him of the decision. He noted that the decision centered on the company's difficulty in getting approval from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build on or near the site's wetlands.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation also had some difficulty with the entrance and exit traffic flow plan of the site, though that concern reportedly had been cleared in recent months.
"Meijer is a quality store and they tried to come up to the standards that we as a city had established for architecture, landscaping and the location of the docks," Taylor said.
He noted that the potential flooding and traffic issues were problematic throughout the process.» Read Full Article
Oak Creek girls basketball team holds off Franklin, 51-43
Franklin girls basketball coach Tony Kathrens and his Sabers threw everything but the kitchen sink at their powerful second-ranked in state rivals from Oak Creek Friday night.
Triangle and two, 2-2-1, 2-1-2 and even a little man defense. A Princeton-style offense and even the most unheard of thing of all, a willingness to play a slower game with longer possessions.
And it worked for a long time. Foul trouble on the taller, longer Knights bogged their offense down to a sloggy standstill and the Sabers took advantage to close the gap to 21-20 at the half.
But as Oak Creek senior point guard Morgan Kokta noted, coach Steve Hluchnik wanted the Knights to play smarter, but to remain aggressive.
"He really wanted us to get our act together," she said. "We needed to stay aggressive and make smart passes and still go to the basket hard."» Read Full Article
South Milwaukee police warn of warrant scam
South Milwaukee Police are warning residents of a scam aimed at scaring people to send money to avoid be arrested on a warrant from their local police department.
According to an email from the South Milwaukee Police Department:
The South Milwaukee Police Department received a report from an elderly resident that she had received several phone calls from a company trying to solicit money. The caller identified himself as being from the "Martinez Law Firm" in Lawrence, Kansas, with a phone number of (785) 371-3081. The caller told the resident if she did not pay $250 by 2 p.m. Friday that an arrest warrant would be issued for her.
A short time later, she received another call from a person giving the name of an officer who works for the South Milwaukee Police Department. The caller ID also showed that the call had originated from the South Milwaukee Police Department. The caller at this time threatened to arrest the woman on the warrant if she did not pay by 2 p.m. The resident then came to the police department to find out what was happening.
Investigation revealed that this is a scam that has been running and that the suspect caller had "spoofed" the number to make it appear that the call had come from the South Milwaukee Police Department. The first call was also determined to not have come from a law firm in Kansas. The call actually was found to have originated from somewhere in Pakistan. The caller confessed to running a scam to try to get money from people by saying they were the police.» Read Full Article
Franklin boys basketball team rallies to beat Bradford, 57-54
Nick Bobos was not looking forward to studying for his algebra and world geography semester exams that he has on Wednesday.
But the Franklin junior guard said he will have a smile on his face tomorrow as he takes his tests because his clutch three-pointer from the right baseline with 14 seconds to go put the Saber basketball team up for good, as host Franklin rallied for a 57-54 Southeast Conference win over Kenosha Bradford Tuesday night.
"Now I have to go home and study for three hours, awesome," he said somewhat tongue-in-cheek, as he walked off the court.
But then he put a smile on his face and talked about how resilient the Sabers, who are now 3-5 in league play and 7-9 overall, have become this season.
"This is nothing new for us," he said. "We've just been fighting hard the entire season. We've been down by a little, we've been down by a lot, but we've always fought back."» Read Full Article
Oak Creek police: 'Skunk' smell leads to marijuana in toddler's shoes
A strange smell coming from a pair of shoes resulted in the discovery of a hidden cache of marijuana last week.
According to the Oak Creek police report:
A resident called police about 4:30 p.m. Jan. 14 after her daycare provider in the 8100 block of South Wildwood Drive told her that her 2-year-old's shoes smelled "like skunk."
The resident later found a plastic bag containing a small amount of marijuana in the shoe.
Officers questioned the child's father, who had dropped his son at daycare that day, and he stated his son's shoes were bought at a rummage sale and he had no idea where the marijuana came from.

Barrett calls Obama's gun measure 'common sense,' opponents disagree
Mayor Tom Barrett on Wednesday called President Barack Obama's gun-control plan a "bold initiative" and "common-sense" legislation.
"This is something that has been a long time coming and something that I believe a majority of Americans have long felt is overdue in this country," Barrett said at a news conference at City Hall.
Barrett urged backers of the president's initiatives to contact their congressmen and ask them to back the legislation.
The mayor said he expects to hear from opponents of gun control by email or phone calls. The same opponents also will call Police Chief Edward Flynn and legislators, telling them to reject Obama's proposals. But Barrett said he believes the majority of Americans want change.
"This is a watershed moment in American politics," he said. "Because the question is going to be: Will the forces that have worked tirelessly to defeat common-sense legislation win again, or will the American people win again?"» Read Full Article
Meijer could anchor retail and apartment development at Delphi site
A Meijer supermarket and discount store could anchor a retail and apartment development proposed for the former Delphi site in Oak Creek.
The 191,000-square-foot Meijer store would be on the eastern portion of the 85-acre site, which is west of S. Howell Ave. and south of W. Drexel Ave., said Jerry Franke, president of development firm Wispark LLC.
The Meijer store would occupy about one-third of the site, formerly occupied by Delphi Corp. That auto parts factory closed, and was later demolished.
The western portion of the site would have around 150,000 to 200,000 square feet of commercial space, mainly in the former of smaller stores, restaurants and other services, such as a fitness center and medical offices, Franke said Wednesday.
There also would be around 700 apartments, he said. The apartments and additional commercial space would be developed in stages over roughly eight years, with the first phase--including Meijer--completed by mid-2015.» Read Full Article
New Berlin Eisenhower girls pull away from Franklin, 57-41
The New Berlin Eisenhower girls basketball team is always secure in its identity.
"We like to come out and get in our opponents' faces and take them out of what they like to do," said Lions coach Gary Schmidt after the Lions surprisingly easy 57-41 nonconference victory over a red-hot Franklin club. "A lot of teams don't know us, so we like to schedule games like this. It was a good marquee match-up on a Tuesday night."
Only most of the starpower belonged to the Lions, who never trailed in this game and who improved to 12-1 overall. Meanwhile, the Sabers (10-3) saw their winning streak end at eight games leaving their coach a bit mystified in the process.
"This was almost exactly like the Oak Creek game earlier in the year," said Franklin coach Tony Kathrens referring to the Sabers' last loss in early December. "We get in against a taller, better defensive team that makes us work hard and we fold like a house of cards."
"It's just frustrating. Anytime we play against a quality big (post player like the Lions' 6-2 Chelsea Brackmann) we struggle, because Cassidy (Mihalko, the Sabers' best player) likes to go inside, but we had that taken away from us tonight."» Read Full Article

Oak Creek summit focuses on how to prevent violence
Oak Creek - More than 100 people, including some who lost family members in the Aug. 5 mass shooting at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin, met at a school here Saturday to learn how they can prevent violence.
Much of the discussion at East Middle School focused on things anyone could do, such as taking time to personally connect with other people so they don't feel detached from their community.
"We need to start learning about each other and develop relationships. We all need to look out for each other in every way we can," said Kanwardeep Singh Kaleka, a member of the Sikh temple whose uncle, Satwant Singh Kaleka, was killed in the shooting there.
The shooting at the Oak Creek temple was one of at least 62 mass shootings in the United States in the past 30 years, according to a December article in Mother Jones magazine. Most of the killers were mentally ill and obtained their guns legally, the magazine noted.
If someone has even one healthy relationship and has developed a friendship with someone who keeps them plugged into the broader community, it's unlikely they will go on a killing spree, Kaleka said.» Read Full Article

Townhouses proposed for South Milwaukee put on hold
A 20-unit townhouse apartment development proposed for South Milwaukee is on hold.
Vangard Group proposed the townhouses for a 1.45-acre parcel at 909 Menomonee Ave.The city-owned site is within walking distrance of downtown South Milwaukee, and just north of Heritage Reserve condos.
A city Plan Commission hearing, tentatively set for Jan. 15, has been canceled, said Tamara Mayzik, city administrator. That hearing was canceled after concerns were raised by commission members about plans for parking and other details, she said.
Commission members like the idea of townhouse-style units at the site, and Vangard could revise its plans, Mayzik said. Vangard owner Kalan Haywood couldn't be reached Thursday for comment.
Vangard would seek federal affordable housing tax credits to help finance the development.Those credits are given to developers in an annual competitive process.» Read Full Article

Possible Bender Park addition would be open to hunting
Bow hunting for deer and trapping for coyotes or other mammals would be legal on a 95-acre site that could be added to Milwaukee County's Bender Park, under rules for land purchased with state stewardship fund money.
It would be the first time - at least in modern times - that hunting would be allowed on county property, if supervisors accept the undeveloped parcel that's adjacent to the park in Oak Creek. The county has already authorized the Conservation Fund to apply for a state grant to help buy the land.
The fund plans to turn the land over to the county, if the state money and other funding come through to purchase the property from a development firm.
The proposed 95-acre addition to Bender Park lies south of Fitzsimmons Road and east of a rail corridor on the far southeastern tip of the county.
Any new county parkland purchased with money through the state Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program must be open to hunting and trapping, as well as other recreational uses, under provisions of the Sports Heritage Act approved by the Legislature last year. The measure also opened all state parks and trails to hunting and trapping.» Read Full Article

Weleda North America
Working for Weleda means working with a team that is incredibly committed. The work we do and the products we develop and sell make a tangible, positive difference in the lives of many people.
As it so often is in life, it was more chance than intention that brought me here. I am originally from Germany—more specifically, from Schwäbisch Gmünd, a small town in the southwest that is home to Weleda.
I studied international management studies and planned to spend my last summer before graduating in New York City, a place that I had visited several times before and to which I always felt strongly connected. To justify my stay, I looked for an internship. A friend offered me the chance to work for Weleda in the US. I enjoyed my time here but did not seriously consider that I might return. A few months after my return, I was offered a job here as controller and did not have to think long to accept. While gaining insight into all areas of the company, I attended graduate school at New York University, ultimately earning an MBA. Today, I live in New York City with my wife and my two children, Josef and Laila.
My first encounter with Weleda was long before I even knew of the company. One of my earliest childhood memories is the scent of Weleda Arnica Massage Oil. My mother put it on every morning. Maybe that's why it is still one of my favorite products. Today, I use Weleda Baby products on my own children, and when my wife needs a break, she comes to the Weleda Spa. My son, Josef, takes great pride when he sees Weleda products in a store. His eyes light up when he sees our colorful products, and he says, "Papi, this is from your work!" When I hear that, I wonder if Weleda will "stick" with him the same way it has for me.

I've been using Weleda's Calendula products for many years and was the only product line I'd use for my son when he was an infant. Even now, he still likes using Calendula body cream because of its light scent and its effective moisturizing benefits.It's also great for really dry skin or any kind of rash or irritation.
I love this body oil! It smells like lavender essential oil and it feels so good on my skin. I apply it after a shower. My husband even notices when I'm wearing it and he remarks on how good my skin feels.
We purchased Weleda Skin Food after hearing good things about it from another mom. I love the it's made with good ingredients and is different from other lotions. I can tell you that it works fantastic on my dry skin, and even my husband is a huge fan. We'll be buying this product again and again.

text: What good would a chibi collection of Adventure Time characters be without one on the two main characters themselves. Here is "how to draw chibi Jake", step by step. Yes I know he looks like a float or balloon, but that is what makes him so cute. Jake is by far one of my favorite characters on the series, and even though I don't get to watch a whole lot of Adventure Time, my little sister will tell me some funny stuff from episodes that she watched. I'm not sure, but I think I may have already made a tutorial on chibi Jake, but I could be mistaken. And even if I did who cares, this one is probably better. If you have been waiting for a tut on drawing chibi Jake, today is definitely the day that you will have some easy artistic fun. I have to drift out of here for now, but like always I shall return. Enjoy folks and stick around because the fun is not over yet.

SelectionModel of TreeGrid doesn't use equals()
I have ModelData instances, which overwrite equals() and hashCode(). In the TreeGrid, it works fine, but I have problems with the SelectionModel. You use == and != to compare instances within the methods onRemove(), doSelect() and onUpdate(). This will not work with my models, maybe it is better to compare the model instances with equals(). The onUpdate() method sets the member field lastFocused of the AbstractStoreSelectionModel class, but it is private (should be protected?). As workaround I have to use setLastFocused() on my sub-class, which fires an event however.

Thanks for the report - I agree that this could be a problem, but at the same time, in cases where the item in question is not actually in the store, there can be other unpredictable results. Because of that, we generally advise to use store.update to inform the store (and data widgets, selection models, etc) to use the latest version of that object. Can you describe your situation in a little more depth?
3 May 2013 12:33 AM #3
There could be a simpler solution, but I don't have enough experience to find another one. I'm also a pure Java programmer, JavaScript, CSS and HTML are terrible stuff and I try to avoid to work with it
The task was: write a TreeGrid, which contains different data. So I have on the first level an entity called Institution, on the second level there are Locations and on the third level (the leafs) there are Processes.
We use a REST interface on the server side, there are specialized Proxies on client side, which provide access to the interface for the loaders. These things are implemented in libraries, which I have to use.
The idea was, I use three different loaders, which are accessed from a TreeGrid subclass, if the user expands a node. Depending on the level, the TreeGrid asks the associated loader for that level.
Ok, the loaders return instances of the specialized entity (i.e. Institution, Location, Process). To use it into the Tree, I have encapsulated the entities in another data class (called TreeModelData), which I use for the TreeGrid. I would not extend the base entities, because I use they on other places within the application and I don't need Tree functionality there.
Now I have a TreeGrid<TreeModelData>, where the TreeModelData wrap the ModelData entities. To simplify some code, I have decided, that unwrapped entities can be wrapped by new TreeModelData(entity), so you have unique entities, but an entity can be wrapped into different TreeModelData instances. So I haven't to handle unique TreeModelData within the application. I can use my entities and wrap they when it will be necessary for the tree.
This decision makes it hard to use HashMaps without re-implementation of equals() and hashCode(). So the TreeGrid must use equals() and hashCode() to use findModel() or something. The implementations of both methods delegate to the same methods of the wrapped entity. Here I have a further step: there are transient and persisted entities. The latter I can compare by an Id (which is unique and will be generated by the database), the transient entities can not be compared by its properties (they will be changed by the user), I have simply created a random number for every transient instance. There is no way to get a valid Id from the database before I have persisted the entity. But this is only possible, when all required properties are available.
This works fine with the HashMap of the TreeGrid, and the problem was, that you delegate some data to the selection model, where you compare the instances by != or ==. This will not work with the wrapper instances of TreeModelData.
As a workaround I have written a subclass of SelectionModel, which re-implements the critical methods. Only the lastFocused field I cannot set from the sub-class, so I have to use the setLastFocused() method, but there is a call inside this method, which fires an additional event. I can not say whether or not it is problematic.
A second problem I have identified, are transient entities, which I insert into the tree. If I try to set a selection on such a node, I expand the node. But during the expand operation you remove all the subnodes of such a node (you do this also recursively) and reloads it from the given loader. But my loader doesn't know the transient entity, it will simply removed from the TreeGrid. A following call to such a removed node will produce a NPE. It occurs within TreeGrid.setExpanded().
I have tried to overwrite the onLoad() of the TreeStore to save the transient models and restore it after super.onLoad(), but the event will not be executed before you access the node in TreeGrid.setExpanded(M model, boolean expand, boolean deep). Do you have an idea, how I can handle that? I would like to insert transient entities into the tree, if the user will generate a new one, it should be selected and displayed on an expanded node, then the user can modify some properties of the entity in another dialog.
Thank you

Treating it like Java is definitely the right way forward - our == check is almost certainly wrong, but often if there are two .equal objects, the store should be given the most 'real' one via store.update, and everything else *should* update their copies of that object. Without trying your use case I can't be certain that this is the right way forward. Are you giving a key provider to the store? This should not only make it more efficient, but also will force it to simplify its notion of 'sameness' between an old model and a new one.
GXT 3 is much more internally consistent about these things - first, everything requires a string key, and in most places those should be used for checking 'sameness'.
One tip regarding subclassing classes with private members in GWT - you can use JSNI methods to read and write private fields, as well as private methods.
I've raised this internally, and we'll look into it for 2.3.1.

Sock Summit INDEED.
"Just as the bird's wing evolved to fly, the human hand evolved to manipulate. An idle hand is not a happy hand. We really need to use our hands; they're not happy if they're not doing something." [Barbara G. Walker]
The quote above captures my impression of Sock Summit 2009 pretty accurately! I'm very familiar with trade shows like Stitches, NENA, TKGA, TNNA, etc. and I have been lucky enough to attend many of them in the past few years. This year marked the first Sock Summit, a sort of knitter's retreat on steroids! It had a fantastic marketplace full of amazing artisans, an impressive array of super fun events (like breaking the Guiness World Record for most knitters knitting in one place) and a truly astounding roster of knitting luminaries.
Berroco was there displaying a range of our sock yarns: Berroco Sox, Berroco Sox Metallic, Comfort Sock and Ultra Alpaca Fine, as well as a few of our more popular sock yarn patterns (not socks, incidentally): Celestine and Celestine Crochet, Saige and Johnny Boy are some of my favorites. I was also encouraging people to enter our Sock Star competition. There are still more than 2 weeks left to whip something up, give it a go!
I've put together a video of some highlights here and some of my snapshots in a Flickr set–I apologize for their quality; I'm not the best photographer in the world, I'm afraid. To be honest, things happened so quickly that it was a challenge to even get the cameras out and on! I was Tweeting constantly though and you can catch up with those Tweets here.
One of the highlights of the show for me was meeting Meg Swansen (I'll admit it–I was too nervous to say hello to Barbara Walker!). Meg is true knitting royalty and SO beautiful! She was hilarious and kind, to boot. Norah says we have the same eyes! As you can see, I could barely contain my joy at meeting such a legend:
One thing that came up during the luminary panel over and over was the value of her mother Elizabeth Zimmerman's book the Knitter's Almanac. When I worked on the retail side of things I would constantly tell people to skip two lattes and buy a copy of the Knitter's Almanac instead. It is my desert island book, it contains so much more than knitting advice. It gives you a glimpse into Elizabeth's life and her amazing curiosity, bravery and wit.
Yesterday I proposed a year-long project to Norah involving the Almanac and Ultra Alpaca. So many of the projects seem well-suited to the Ultra Alpaca family and we know that the folks at Schoolhouse Press are fans. In fact, Cully Swansen, the handsome model/son/grandson in many of the Schoolhouse Press publications, has a hat pattern in the most recent Wool Gathering that calls for Ultra Alpaca! We're still batting around ideas, but we'll keep you posted.
I'm still catching up on my rest but I will say that my imagination has been running on overdrive thanks to the Summit. I'm sure you'll feel it's effects in the months to come😉
Knitter's Almanac is my desert island book, too! So much more than just knitting. EZ was so clever with knitting and words. Whenever I reread it I feel the need to read passages out loud to my husband. Luckily, he's an English Lit professor, so he appreciates a good turn of phrase, even if it is about knitting.
I wish I could have attended Sock Summit – it looks like an amazing time.August 15, 2009
Meg Caulmare #
Good morning! What a terrific wake-up to have your blog entry and the photo of you with the amazing Meg Swansen. I buy Knitter's Almanac by the "bouquet" and tuck a copy into many gifts at the holidays and for birthdays. A pretty bag with the Almanac, a couple of skeins of yarn, and a selection of needles is all you need.
Wouldn't it be great to have a Knitter's Alamanac each year? Don't mention it to Meg, she'll faint dead away. I'll watch for details on your project.August 20, 2009

Here's a couple of panos shot with one of those IPIX fisheyes NN has for sale. I think those fisheyes are the best deal ever for a compact camera fisheye. Shoot 1 straight up -- 4 around and 2 straight down and then do a patch for the nadir anyway you want.
These where shot at F5.6 -- focus real close -- maybe 2 meters away (2 yards) and then a little post processing and it makes a decent pano. Not as good as a full frame DSLR but what the heck -- not as expensive either. And a lot easier to carry about.
I left those big flares in just because I liked them -----

If I have an excellent idea for a story, would it be wiser to write on paper first or start directly on the computer? There are many different reasons for beginning stories on paper as well as on the computer and I'd like to know about the different advantages of each side.
I would recommend to just go with what you find most productive for yourself, but since you wanted a list:
I myself prefer digital (Dropbox + iPhone!), but YMMV.
For me, the advantage of using paper is that I often make rash editing decisions early in the process, and lose things I may have wanted to hang on to.
Using some sort of version control might be an interesting solution to that particular problem though.
The other reason I use paper is that it forces me to go over the text at least once in order to find major problems while entering it into a computer. I suspect a more professional writer than I would be doing that a few times anyway, regardless of which medium he or she started on.
For writing fiction I always start on paper (with the unfortunate disadvantage of typing it later).
The reason for using paper is because the computer is a distraction and it's harder to become fully engrossed in the story I'm spinning. The temptation to jump on the internet is far too great. The importance of getting into a zone of creativity while writing far outweighs the negative of retyping later.
Depends on you. What are you more comfortable with writing? Which way you can avoid distractions better? Or which gives you enough distraction to get inspiration or overcome writing block if needed (if it helps)? I think you should try it out, if paper or computer, or a mix of both works best for you. Sorry, that I cannot give a simpler answer here.
I always write on the comuter because frankly, I can type about as fast as I think. The same cannot be said for writing with a pen.
If you can type, there's no reason to start on paper unless you're just jotting down random notes etc.. which are easier to scratch out or just doodle.

Concurrent Academic Progress Program
More and more high school teachers, administrators and students are taking advantage of Lakeland's popular Concurrent Academic Progress Program (CAPP). The benefits of this program are many, and they're addressed in the following questions and answers.
What is CAPP?
- CAPP is an accredited program offered to high schools by Lakeland College.
- CAPP classes are pre-qualified and allow high schools to offer Lakeland College credit and high school credit for the same class.
Why is CAPP beneficial for teachers and administrators?
- This program helps encourage high school students to begin thinking about college.
- A student's first college credits are earned under the guidance of high school teachers.
- Since a college grade and credit is earned, students are motivated to do their best work.
Which students qualify for CAPP courses?
- Academically-sound students with teacher approval. (Note: No minimum ACT score is required.)
Why is CAPP beneficial for high school students?
- The benefit of a college grade and credit motivates students to work diligently in class.
- The CAPP experience helps prepare students for college coursework.
- The student's final grade reflects achievement on each exam and assignment and is recorded on a Lakeland College transcript.
- CAPP offers college credit courses at a reduced price. Three- and four-credit classes are available.
- Credits are transferrable. Most colleges will accept CAPP credits since Lakeland College is fully accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA).
- Students can get a jump on college during high school.
- Students can earn as many CAPP credits as offered by their high school.
How are CAPP courses different from AP courses?
- Final CAPP course grades are determined by results on exams and assignments throughout the semester. Final letter grades are recorded on a Lakeland College transcript.
- AP courses only earn college credit through the final exam. No letter grades are recorded.
How can other courses qualify for CAPP?
- Most courses taught by teachers with a master's degree qualify for CAPP credit.
- Course content must meet NCA accreditation standards.
- Lakeland College professors assist high school teachers as needed to obtain course accreditation.

TOPEKA — The Independence Day Holiday is just around the corner and many people will visit the beach, enjoy fireworks, or fire up the grill for a backyard barbecue.
"The American Red Cross wants everyone to have a happy -- and safe -- Fourth of July holiday, and taking a few simple steps to stay safe can help ensure that this will be an enjoyable holiday for all," said Meghan Spreer, Regional Director of Communications, Kansas Capital Area Chapter of the American Red Cross.
If swimming is part of someone's holiday plans, they should check the weather and water conditions beforehand and throughout the day, swim only at a lifeguard-protected beach within the designated swimming area and obey all safety rules. Avoid alcohol before and during any water activities and make sure to never swim alone.
Other tips to keep in mind:
Actively supervise children at all times – even if a lifeguard is present. Stay within arm's reach of young children when they are in the water.
Have weak swimmers wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket. Don't rely on water wings or inflatable toys.
Always enter shallow water feet first. Dive only in areas marked safe for diving.
Additional water safety tips are located at redcross.org/watersafetytips.
WATCH THE SUN Everyone should limit the amount of direct sunlight they receive between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with a protection factor of at least 15 throughout the day. Drink plenty of water and avoid drinks with alcohol or caffeine in them. Wear sunglasses that will absorb UV sunlight to protect one's eyes. And remember to protect one's feet by wearing some kind of beach shoes.
FIREWORKS SAFETY Nothing says "Fourth of July" like fireworks. To help stay safe while enjoying them, follow these safety steps:
Never give fireworks to small children and always follow the instructions on the packaging.
Keep a supply of water close by as a precaution.
Make sure the person lighting fireworks always wears eye protection.
Light only one firework at a time and never attempt to relight "a dud."
Store fireworks in a cool, dry place away from children and pets.
Never throw or point fireworks toward people, animals, vehicles, structures or flammable materials.
Stay at least 500 feet away from professional fireworks displays.
Leave any area immediately where untrained amateurs are using fireworks.
GRILLING SAFETY If a picnic and grilled goodies are part of someone's holiday plans, they should follow these steps:
Always watch the barbecue grill when in use.
Never grill indoors – not in a house, camper, tent or any enclosed area.
Make sure children and pets stay away from the grill.
Keep the grill out in the open, away from the house, the deck, tree branches or anything that could catch fire.
Use the long-handled tools especially made for cooking on the grill to keep the chef safe.
Never add charcoal starter fluid when coals have already been ignited.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when using grills.
"In addition to these tips, all iPhone and Android smart phone owners should download the new, free American Red Cross First Aid app now so they will have information on how to treat everyday emergencies right in their hands," added Spreer.

I have a MySQL DB server that accepts a lot of mobile application data for analysis. I would like to know if for optimization reasons the following architecture makes sense and is appropriate:
I would like to split the MySQL DB server into two separate servers as follows:
- Server A (Master) would receive the statistic data for computation.
- Server B (Master) would keep
- Aggregated (pre-calculated data) the Master on-demand
- application
- user data.
The relation b/w servers would be Master-Master.
- Server A -> Server B : sending aggregated (calculated) data
- Server B -> Server A : sending new application and user data so that aggregation will also be performed for newly tracked applications.
If my reasoning is correct, can you shed some light on how I might accurately do this?

My computer is nearly deadlocked. I have dedicated 200gig to Ubuntu (11.10) and lately it has decided to tell me that there is 0bytes of space left. This is causing all sorts of problems. First of all:
What is using up this 200gig??!??! I don't download movies or anything and I only recently upgraded from my years of a 40gig HDD (with far more apps) so I can't even begin to imagine what could be taking up this much space.
I tried to run a backup program (photorec) recently that has left lots of locked files on my computer that I can read, but can't delete. I have tried to "sudo" my way into deleting things but get the error:
Error copying '/home/[my usr]/.Xauthority' to '/tmp/libgksu-w9v5iV': No space left on device [usr]@[my usr]-System-Product-Name:~$
So basically I can't delete things because I don't have the space to have the permission to delete things? Is that right? I'm very confused by all of this. Also if someone has some idea of where to look for that extremely large 150gig+ of space being hogged I'd really appreciate it. My "home" directory is 15gig in size.
EDIT: I just realised one thing. I haven't used up all of my 200gig. The disk analyser thingy shows 100% but it doesn't mean 100% of space used. This does beg the question, what is full and how do I "unfull" it...?????

Every claim is unique, and there are a lot of different things that could affect how long it takes to resolve your claim.
Keep in mind that even though filing a claim is probably a rare event for you, our claims teams are made up of experienced professionals who work with issues similar to yours day in and day out. They'll always do their best to get your claim resolved efficiently.
You can help your claim go smoothly by providing Allstate with all the information you can about the incident. Talk with your claims team to make sure you've given them all the documentation and details they need.
Your deductible is the amount you've agreed to pay out of your pocket before Allstate pays for any covered losses.
Here's an example. Say you have $2,000 worth of covered damage, and you picked a $500 deductible, applicable to that coverage, when you bought the policy. That means you pay $500, and your auto insurance pays the rest.
Regardless of who was at fault, you'll pay a deductible for certain coverages. However, during the claim investigation, if the facts indicate there's a chance to recover the damages from the person responsible for the accident, we'll attempt to recover them, including your deductible. If we aren't successful, you have the option of trying to recover the deductible on your own.
The decision whether to repair or declare a vehicle a total loss is based on the type and the extent of damage, age of the vehicle, state law, and other factors. In order to make a decision, we may have to inspect your vehicle. If the repair estimate is more than the vehicle's worth, we will pay the actual cash value of the vehicle, up to the limits of the policy, minus your deductible.
If you're working with a Priority Repair Option repair shop recommended by Allstate, then the process would be seamless. The shop would work directly with Allstate to address the additional damages. Should that not be the case, the shop should contact the appropriate Allstate insurance claims professional to discuss any additional loss-related damage.
Every policyholder's situation is unique, so depending on your circumstances, your premium may be affected. If you are concerned, don't hesitate to discuss with your agent. You may also want to ask them about other Allstate auto products that include things like an Accident Forgiveness feature which may help prevent your rates from going up just because of an accident, even if it's your fault. To learn more about why your premium could change, check out our interactive guide: My Premium Changed - Why?

The First Christmas: What the Gospels Really Teach About Jesus's Birth (Hardcover)
In The First Christmas, two of today's top Jesus scholars, Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan, join forces to show how history has biased our reading of the nativity story as it appears in the gospels of Matthew and Luke. As they did for Easter in their previous book, The Last Week, here they explore the beginning of the life of Christ, peeling away the sentimentalism that has built up over the last two thousand years around this most well known of all stories to reveal the truth of what the gospels actually say. Borg and Crossan help us to see this well-known narrative afresh by answering the question, "What do these stories mean?" in the context of both the first century and the twenty-first century. They successfully show that the Christmas story, read in its original context, is far richer and more challenging than people imagine.
About the Author
MARCUS J. BORG is canon theologian at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Portland, Oregon, and Hundere Distinguished Professor of Religion and Culture, emeritus, at Oregon State University.

WEIRTON - West Virginia Credit Union President Ken Watts says 75 years after the credit union movement was born, they remain "a safe haven in tough economic times."
Watts' remarks came at the Weirton-Wellsburg Chapter's 51st-annual International Credit Union Day dinner, held this year at Williams Country Club.
"This year marks a special time for our League, which is celebrating its 75th year of existence," said Watts, a Parkersburg resident, pointing out the idea of forming a support organization for credit unions in West Virginia was developed even before the first credit union was chartered in West Virginia. The Credit Union Bureau of West Virginia was established in 1924 to assist interested groups in forming their own credit union. It would be 13 years 1937 before the League was formally established to ensure that credit unions had a strong advocate to represent and support them on the state level.

CELEBRATING FOUNDING — Among the attendees at the Weirton-Wellsburg Chapter of the West Virginia Credit Union League dinner celebrating the founding of the credit union movement 75 years ago were, from left, Dan Dudley, Eagle Can Employees FCU; Russell Loar, Strip Steel Community FCU; Janet Stagani, president of the Weirton-Wellsburg Chapter and Tin Mill Employees FCU; John R. Thayer, First Choice America Community FCU; Ken Watts, president of the West Virginia Credit Union League and the guest speaker; Master of Ceremonies John Sorrenti; JoAnn Kerr, Hancock School Employees FCU; Scott Winwood, First Choice America Community FCU; Linda Cattrell, First Choice America Community FCU; Jack Hatala, Tin Mill Employees FCU; and Susan Mains, Tin Mill Employees FCU.
-- Contributed
"Our purpose since that time has not wavered - which is to help credit unions be successful, to promote the mission of credit unions, and to defend credit unions from those that want to see an end to their existence," he said.
"This milestone - our 75th anniversary - is rare among organizations. The League is not a building in Parkersburg, nor is it a group of individuals who are employed by the organization. Rather, the League is a collection of credit unions in West Virginia who understand that by banding together they can do much more for their members than they can accomplish individually."
Watts said many people consider credit unions a place "where they save and borrow, a place where debit cards are free, or a place where a weekly paycheck is deposited.
"But to those who have been involved in this chapter and the League, you know the credit union movement has become a safe haven in tough economic times," he said. "It was true in the 1930s and it rings true today."
Watts said there are 49,000 credit unions around the world. The Weirton-Wellsburg chapter includes the Tin Mill Community FCU, First Choice America FCU, Eagle Can Employees FCU, Hancock School Employees FCU and Strip Steel Community FCU.
Welcoming guests to the banquet was Janet Stagani, president of the local chapter and president of the Tin Mill FCU. John J. Sorrenti of Weirton was emcee. Russell Loar of the Strip Steel Community FCU was dinner chairman. Raymond DelFiandra led the Pledge of Allegiance, the prayer and delivered the benediction.

State police continue to with hold the cause of death of an Edmonson County woman who was allegedly killed by her husband on Sunday.
Now another Edmonson County woman says she's afraid her ex-husband could hurt her despite having court-ordered protection.
Laura Johnson has been divorced for 4 years but says her ex-husband still continued to harass and sometimes beat her.
in May, a court ordered her ex-husband to stay at least 1,000 feet away from her but she says he has violated that several times and has never been arrested.
Johnson says sheriff's deputies told her the ex-husband has to be in her driveway when they show up if she hopes to have him arrested.
"If he has to be in my driveway when they get here, he's been here for 30 minutes at the least. He could have done whatever he wanted with me by then," Johnson said.
Sheriff's deputies we spoke to today say they can investigate and get a warrant for anyone who violates a restraining order whether they are at the scene or not.

I don't understand the usage in constructions like "Spare meself, me ship, me crew" in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.
Is it a dialect or "bloody pirate's speech" or what?
I don't understand the usage in constructions like "Spare meself, me ship, me crew" in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.
Is it a dialect or "bloody pirate's speech" or what?
Regarding the use of me for my, the OED writes in sense II. 10. of me:
And under my, we find this very interesting entry:
Notice in particular the unstressed pronunciation of my as
In other words, unstressed my as a possessive adjective was once, and to some extent still is, pronounced as though it were me. It simply means my when so used, and is sometimes still used in reported speech to represent dialect pronunciation.
The "bloody" I know not of, in this context at least [ :-) ] , but the use of 'me' for 'my' in Pirate's putative Parlance is very time hounoured - dating back to at least my childhood, which is probably more distance than that of the childhood of the average list member - and probably a century or two prior to that.
Searching for "me" when used to mean "my" is a challenge which Google is not well designed to rise to, but use of a common (allegedly) pirate's term will suffice.
"Shiver me timbers" - 1,090,000 hits
"Shiver my timbers" - 89,500 hits
While a sample size of one falls short of the test for being definitive (by a few orders of magnitude) it is a good demonstration of the universality of the term.
"My" = phonetically "Mee" is the correct older pronunciation.
Think of words ending in Y, "Properly" = "Proper-lee", "Definitely" - "Defin-at-lee".
Proper-lie or Definat-lie would be wrong, as is mie for MY.
The first popularized pirate tale was Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island in 1883. However, Mr. Stevenson's pirates all used proper Victorian English(!), like "Shiver my timbers." So no possessive "me"s were used there.
We do know that by the 1930's this bit of canonical pirate lingo had developed, as both Errol Flynn's 1935 Captain Blood and the 1934 Popeye cartoon "Shiver Me Timbers!" used it.
Wikipedia claims that the possessive me is used in many "nonstandard" British dialects. If so, the early use of this form was likely an attempt by writers to show that the typical pirate came from a lower-class and/or rural British background.
They further speculate that possessive "me" in those dialects might have derived from the way "my" was pronounced before the great vowel shift. In Middle English, "my" before a consonant was indeed pronounced just like the modern "me", while "me" would have been pronounced similar to the modern "may".

Have you seen any Target putting the Kindle on clearance yet?
15 Answers answer
No, I looked last week online and they are no longer listed for sale. I have not checked the local store although I intend to sometime soon.
No, I checked in one of my local Targets and they weren't on sale :(
Same here, went to Target and heard another costumer asking an employee if the had Kindles (because they're no longer displayed with the other e-readers) and she said they still have some, but all of them were regular priced.
I checked yesterday, regular price.
What?! I was just at Target, but I had no idea they were putting Kindles on clearance or discontinuing them. I may need to go back and check (I forgot to pick up something when I was there anyway). I'll report back if I go back tonight. Thanks for the heads-up! (Looks like everyone else already knew this, no idea where I've been!)
I just got back from my local Target and they have a ton of both the regular and Fire... and both are full price :( I'll definitely keep my eyes open to see if they go on clearance. Again, thanks for the heads-up!
Forgot all about this. I'll likely be at a Target in the next day or so, will have to remember to check.
A note to anyone who says they haven't seen any markdowns: just because it's not advertised doesn't mean it isn't marked down. If the sale has started, then it should be in the system. It can't hurt to ask a cashier to do a price check or even ring one up (in case the discount is at checkout). Worst case scenario it's still full price and you say no thank you.
I've gotten surprise discounts a few times, actually. I had no idea something was on sale and there was nothing on the shelf to indicate but when I checked out....lower price!
Clearly that isn't applicable just yet, but perhaps in the next couple days
A few weeks ago I saw them available with a $20 Target gift card. That's the most I've seen.
I've seen them bundled with a book light but that's about it
Nothing at our local stores. I will be keeping my eyes peeled now though. I saw the story break, but didn't even think about them getting marked down. I know, I'm embarrassed to admit it.
I'm waiting for the accessories to go on clearance. I'd be surprised if the units themselves do.
No, not at my nearest one.
I've been keeping an eye on them since the rumor started. I checked both of my local Targets this past Wednesday, but nothing yet. Oddly enough, when it first came up three weeks ago or whenever, the Sony reader was actually marked down 30% instead. Then it went to 50%, but there were still like ten left this past Tuesday when I checked, and I figured I'd try to wait it out until 70% off. The next day they were all gone from both stores, even the display models. I don't know if they sent them all off somewhere, or if somebody came in and bought all of them to try and flip them. That wasn't too big of a loss. It would have been nice to have a name brand eReader for ~$30, but I'd still rather have a Kindle or Nook product instead.
Nope. I make a point of checking every few days. Closest I got was two weeks ago when they had a special buy a Touch and get a $20 gift card deal.
The reason you see all the offers of a bonus gift card is that Amazon has set a limit of what their retailers can price it at. It doesn't matter if they're clearancing them, there's nothing they can do to the price below a certain point. Target can give away freebies with the Kindle, but they can't lower the Kindle price. Amazon, like a lot of Apple's products, don't want it to be known just how much markup the products have, and have them devalued in the consumer's eye.

I looked through the names index in the back, seeing many names I was expecting: van Aken, Lamboo, Bolle, all familiar names and ancestors of mine. But one name greatly surprised me. My grandfather Adolph Knura was mentioned in the book! He was born in Bottrop, Germany and came to the Netherlands in 1932. His sister, Anna Knura, was married to L.J. van Aken and he came to live with her and work for L.J. van Aken's painting company. He met my grandmother Henriette Geertruida Lamboo and got married. By the time the war broke out, they had two children. But however much my grandfather had integrated into Dutch society, he was still legally a German citizen. And so it came to pass that my grandfather was called to serve in the German army. He didn't want to, but he still had parents and siblings in Germany and if he didn't comply, they would feel the wrath of the Nazi's. It was only after the war ended that he returned home, so I was not expecting him to be mentioned specifically in the book.
Of course I bought the book and when I got home I looked up the page my grandfather was mentioned. There really were only a few sentences about him, but what a shock they brought! Instead of saying something about him being called on to serve in the German army, it said that my grandfather, as a German national that lived in the Netherlands, was arrested after the war and imprisoned for a year. He was accused of being a traitor, but eventually released. The source was an interview with someone not known to me or my older family members. My mother didn't even know anything about this, but she was born some fifteen years after the events would have happened. So I called my aunt, who was four years old during these alleged events.
My aunt remembered the events mentioned in the book quite clearly for a four year old. She recalled visiting her father in Kamp Vught, where he had been imprisoned for less than a year according to her. She also recalled that my grandfather and his whole family were to be transported out of the country, but that the major of Voorschoten wrote a letter to keep them in the country. She said that she believed that if Adolph had been a common soldier instead of a medic in the army, they would've had to move to Germany. She didn't know much else.
I decided that the memories of my aunt and the mention in the book were enough to think the story was true, but I wanted proof. Paper proof that is. I figured it wouldn't be hard to find evidence of my grandfathers imprisonment, once I figured out where the archive of Kamp Vught was kept, that is. But finding the archives wasn't as easy as I thought…
The story will continue on Wednesday with Part 2: Lost: One Archive

There is no report on how much it cost taxpayers because they did not pay 1 dime for the trip!! The parents of the players worked their butts off with Spaghetti dinners, celebrity servers, raffle tickets and many other fundraisers to send the boys and 2 coaches to Florida. But if you want to send a donation, be my guest. Send it to BHS in care of the Basketball Team.

Every time I shut my door to go in or out of the house the door frame moves. Also where the door locks it wont completely shut all the way. Which is hard to go out places, without worrying someone will get in. So I guess my questions here are: 1.) How to fix the loose door frame where it is loose? Would I be able to use long nails and hammer it in more? 2.)How would I fix the locking part of the door?(I have bought a new door handle thing.) I am on a tight budget so what would I be able to use around the house you is very cheep to get.
The first thing I'd do is one-by-one, remove the screws in the hinges and replace them with 3" #8 screws. This should definitely secure the frame to the stud, and the door to the frame. It might also fix your lock alignment problem, but if not, usually all that is needed is to move the strike up/down or in/out a bit. Take the strike off completely - does the door latch correctly now? If so, you just need to position the strike correctly. If it does not, that means the original hole is not aligned correctly and you will need to either enlarge it, or if it is way off, drill another hole and re-install the strike.

My gf is crazily against technology and gadgets (which I love), but lately I haven't seen my A500 since she's always using it to review for tests... think I may lean towards one of these soon.....
Bought a referb about 2 months ago for $130. Nice little tablet for the price.
I got one when it was at $149 (refurb) and I like it a lot. I use it at the gym on the treadmill for netflix and huluplus. Nice size, nice picture. Had to get a glare free protector as the screen is so super shiny it reflects everything. This one is on the way out so get a case while they are still available - few cases fit it except acer. Nook and kindle cases do not fit well.
