Take a look at this Sexy title from Sasha White
Wicked by Sasha White
The Dungeon, Book 3
Berkley Heat
Contemporary, BDSM
Readers first met Karl Dawson in BOUND, they'll get to know him a little better in TROUBLE, but one woman will learn all in WICKED.
Bad-boy divorce attorney Karl Dawson has seen all the ways love can go wrong. That's why he's given up on it. Jaded and feeling restless, he has playmates, not girlfriends. A leather-clad Dominant, he comes and goes in the city's after-dark playgrounds as he pleases. That's how he likes it.
Lara Fox is an independent jack-of-all-trades who can do anything she sets her mind to – except that falling-in-love thing. She's got a need for control too strong for most men, and an inability to walk away from a challenge. Including a challenge like Karl. He's cocky, arrogant, and demanding. That's how she needs it.
They're perfect for each other. But what begins as a sensual battle of wills turns into a journey neither is prepared for when Lara is threatened and emotional walls start to crumble.

You don't want to miss this wicked hot title because there will be more Coming Soon in Sasha's Dungeon series! It's time to become addicted to all things Wicked!
Want to learn more about this Sizzling series...go HERE!
A true eclectic heart Sasha was born in Calgary, Alberta and raised all over Western Canada. The travel bug has stayed with her and ever since she left home she's continue to go wherever opportunity leads. That includes travelling through some of the United States, as well as Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Nepal, Singapore, Mexico, South Africa, Mozambique, Swaziland and Greece. Aside from Mexico, Greece, and the States, her travels have been for months at time, living out of a backpack while exploring these countries, learning about their cultures and often volunteering at schools in exchange for room and board.
After over 20 years as a waitress/bartender, Sasha now works full-time as a writer. She's says "I learned how to build well-developed, realistic characters from exploring cultures, including our own when serving millions of drinks to millions of people. I'll talk to pretty much anyone, and more importantly, listen to them."
"Writing feeds my brain. Traveling feeds my soul." ~ Sasha White
Ali: Is there an author that makes you go all "fangirl?"
Sasha: There's a few of them. LOL Lee Child is one of my favorite authors and I'd love to meet him. Susan Elizabeth Phillips is one who I have turned fangirl in front of at an RWA conference in 2006. What I've found in the past is that sometimes I've never really felt "fangirl" about an author until I met them in person...then a sense of awe would just descend, so it's hard to say.
Ali: If you could co-write with another author who would it be and why?
Sasha: Lee Child. I love the Jack reacher books, and really think I could help Jack find a woman, one that would be a right fit for him and the series. Plus, I know I could learn a lot from Lee Child.
Ali: What are you looking forward to most about AADNola?
Sasha: Chatting with people. Not only has I never been to New Orleans, but I haven't been to a conference for a couple of years so I'm lonely to hang out with people who loves books as much as I do.
Ali: The world is under attack and you are forced to run for your life. You only have room for one book in your survival kit, what book do you take?
Sasha: A big blank notebook so I could entertain myself by writing down my adventures and all the brilliant things I did to survive. (or so I wouldn't cry if I had to use it to start a fire. )
Ali: Who are your favorite literary characters? (Yours or someone else's)
Sasha: Jack Reacher is definitely one. I love that he's a good guy who's not afraid to do what needs to be done. Also Gin Blanco from Jennifer Estep's Elemental Assasin series. Again, a good guy who does bad things for the right reasons. See a pattern here?
Ali: Are there any of your secondary characters you would like to give more life to?
Sasha: Not really, I'm writing Mason Hardin's story right now, he's the owner of The Dungeon, (the sex club in Bound, Trouble and Wicked) right now. He was only in a very small scene in Trouble, but ever since then I've wanted to delve into him, and I'm finally getting to it. However, there are a few secondary characters in his story that have intrigued me so while I might think I've pretty much rounded everyone out now, that will probably change.
Ali:If you friends were asked to describe you in one word what would it be?
Sasha: Outgoing.

A fling with the sexy tourist who wanders into her bookstore seems like a delicious, temporary diversion, until Drake touches her in exactly the way she craves, teasing and tempting every inch of her body into explosive ecstasy. Drake's obviously a man with secrets, but Melissa's got a few of her own, and she's going to show him just how wild and raw pure, primitive desire can be…

Implicit Learning and the Unattached Mind
When traders see enough examples of supply and demand, they develop a "feel" for markets that is the result of implicit learning. Invariably, the very short-term traders (scalpers) I have worked with cannot verbalize their rules for entries and exits. They react to what they see, having seen those patterns play out thousands of times in the past.
This is why many experienced daytraders will encourage beginners to not think too much about markets. It's not just anti-intellectualism; they realize that explicit thought can interfere with access to implicitly encoded patterns.
When traders personalize their trading--when they attach their self-esteem to their results--they lose this access to implicit awareness. At those times, it's no longer about market patterns; it's about the trader. Bad trading is not necessarily emotional trading; after all, it's a kind of feeling that alerts traders to what they know. Rather, bad trading begins with attachments: to one's ideas, to trading results, to reputation, or to just being right. Once we are attached to what markets can bring us, we're no longer receptive to what we know implicitly. At that point, we are not mindful of patterns; we're mindlessly reacting to our own needs and desires.
This is where much self-help, coaching advice about trading has it all wrong. It's not about thinking more positively about yourself; it's about removing the self from pure performance skill. We cannot access what we know implicitly when we are locked into mindless patterns of explicit thought. To stay unattached to the outcomes of our actions when we are surrounded by vast risk and reward: this is why trading is such a vexing--and noble--challenge.

"To stay unattached to the outcomes of our actions when we are surrounded by vast risk and reward: this is why trading is such a vexing--and noble--challenge"
This single sentence is a superb summary of why so many traders fail.
"Surrounded by vast risk and reward..."
The potential to make a killing or get wiped out - that's quite an emotional challenge to be able to set that aside. Few can.

Brett, you've posted several times about cumulative tick index. Where can I get information or daily charts on the index?

Hi, Brett
An excellent post.
"It's not about thinking more positively about yourself; it's about removing the self from pure performance skill."
I'm a long term trader but my experience may have some relevance. Personally as a beginner, in order to remove the self from the action and maintain emotional consistency, I started by clearly and "explicitly" defining simple market truths, such as "the trend is your friend." I investigated the truthfulness of that statement by doing thousands and thousands of historical back tests and real time market observations until I was thoroughly satisfied. These early simple explicit definitions helped me build the mental structure, or mental framework, where by later my "implicit" learning took over. In my experience, defining and testing your approach is a huge part of the game. Implicit learning naturally follows from practice and continual drilling of the basics. Just my $0.02.
- Project Night Sky said...
As a newbie, speaking from my own experience. I find it helpful to "hide" the actual dollars earned in the trading platform.
So I have no idea how much I made in dollar amounts. But I keep track of my RnR using pip values
This keeps the focus on money management and RnR.
I dont think stock traders have this luxury tho...
Great post as usual Dr Brett

You're a Buddhist.

"Invariably, the very short-term traders (scalpers) I have worked with cannot verbalize their rules for entries and exits. They react to what they see, having seen those patterns play out thousands of times in the past."
Mark, this dovetails with my experience as a pit trader. If someone asked, "Why did you make that trade?" it might take me ten minutes to explain all the factors that went into a decision that took me a fraction of a second to make.
You're not thinking, you're reacting, but that comes from thinking about the markets pretty much 24/7. (I used to dream in markets constantly when I was a pit trader, less so now that my time frame is 0-5 days and I sometimes go days without a trade or position.)
I can't tell you the number of times I'll be deep in thought and my wife will ask, "What are you pondering?" I reply, "Same thing as always, I'm thinking about the stock market."
- Anuj said...
Excellent..thank you Brett for posting a masterpiece.
This is the real secret of trading- Implicit Learning. It comes with time and daily practice.

I have always been under the impression that the mosque on the Har HaBayis is on the location of the Kosdesh HaKodoshim. Is that accurate?

The Radva"z in responsum 691* confirms that without a doubt the אבן שתיה (and by extension, the inner sanctum) is located "under the dome". He also notes that figuring out the particulars of what used to be where on the Har Habayis is very tricky business and requires careful calculation.
*Bonus - This may also be the year construction on the dome was completed.
That said, there are modern researchers who think that it was either (a) the base of the Mizbeyach (Altar), or (b) outside of the Temple complex altogether - according to this view, the sanctified part of the Har Habayis (500x500 cubits, Middos 2:1) lay in the southern half of the present-day Temple Mount (and incidentally, according to this view, the Kodesh Hakodashim turns out to be pretty much directly behind the Kosel plaza).
This was discussed in Techumin sometime in the '90s, although I'll have to look up the exact reference.
Rav Moshe Sternbuch in his Shaalos U'Tshuvos writes that he is certain that the location of the mosque is not the exact location of the Kodshei HaKodoshim.

SanDisk - 16GB High-Definition Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) Memory Card - SDSDRX3-016G-A21… for $19.99
6 Comments add a comment
$17.95 + Free Shipping
Bought the card from the adorama link for the same price at Costco
High-definition? What, more bits per bit than most SDHC cards?
I get it now... it's fast enough to record HD video, thus the "High-Definition" tag.
Link took me to the mobile page at first, for some reason...
They're cheaper at radio shack. I think the sale this week is 16.99...but I'm not 100% sure on that.
Laalo has the micro-SD version of this card right here on Woot for 12.99... Doesn't seem like that good a deal to me.

"Shock, totally shocked. I wasn't expecting anything to ever happen like this," said Ace Hardware Manager Connie Jo Vanderpool.
It's a day Vanderpool never expected to happen.
She had to watch the store she manages, Potter's Ace Hardware, burn to the ground in downtown Burkesville.
"We had a customer come to the front and say the store is on fire, and I actually was on the phone taking an order from a customer. I thought maybe he meant the building next to us was on fire. One of the employees ran out and saw it was our building on fire, and came back in and said it was our building on fire. I more or less hung up on the customer and dialed 911," said Vanderpool.
Fire officials are not certain what caused the fire, but they do have an idea.
"Could be electrical, we're not sure yet. She said it was behind the drink box where the wires went up back into the building, but we're not through investigating it yet," said Burkesville Fire Chief Weldon Rowe.
The strong winds today unfortunately made the fire stronger and burned the building faster.
"I've been on the department 50 years, and it's one of the three fastest," said Rowe.
"Then before you knew it, it went through the rafters. It was just a matter of minutes, and it was all falling in," said Vanderpool.
Because of the wind and threat of the fire spreading, Cumberland County Schools evacuated students and sent them to Adair County.
"No, I didn't know where I was going. I was kind of tripping out a little bit. They said get on the bus, so we got on the bus and started heading toward Adair County," said Cumberland County High School Senior Qwmain Scott.
Now for Vanderpool and the rest of the Ace Hardware staff, it's a rebuilding process.
Vanderpool said they will open a make shift Ace Hardware in Burkesville, but will also be working with their fellow stores in Albany and Monticello.

The 5 Most Overrated Jobs Of All-Time
Whatever happened to the real men? The gunslingers and swordsmen who charged into adventure on horseback?
Well, it turns out they all quit, because being a real man kind of sucked. All of those badass jobs they made movies about were all pretty much worse than the job you have now. Such as...
#5. Pirate: Boredom, Disease and Uncontrollable Shitting
Recently, Disney and Johnny Depp have reassured us that pirates were the awesomest people ever. They lived on the seas, they had monkeys and wenches and giant squid that did their bidding.
Real piracy has been around since about the 13th century BC, and it's likely that every single pirate in all of that span was less effeminate than Orlando Bloom. The Vikings were the most badass of the bunch, with a reputation for taking what they wanted and burning the rest. So if you had nice stuff, you didn't want to hide it in anything flammable because then no one would get to enjoy it.
When the New World was discovered, pirates branched out and started stealing loot, or booty if you will, from exotic new places like the Caribbean. There they were apparently forced to deal with skeleton warriors and family-friendly fights to the death.
Why it Sucked:
Despite what you may think after seeing Kiera Knightley's extremely well-groomed piratess, the real world of pirates tended to involve a lot more wallowing in filth and near-starvation.
They didn't exactly have refrigerators on the boats, so basically they were restricted to eating the kind of shit that can sit in a barrel for months without rotting into slime. Hard tack was a staple of a pirate diet, dry biscuits made of flour, water and salt. They were often eaten in the dark, tapping them on the table a few times to make the weevils crawl out. When even that was unavailable, they'd occasionally resort to eating leather or slaves, if they had some handy.
That's a weevil. That's what a weevil is. It was in their food.
Day to day routine consisted of ship upkeep, the same tedious physical labor over and over, all day, every day. Also, uncontrollable shitting.
That part is thanks to scurvy, which is what happens to somebody who doesn't get enough Vitamin C in their diet. Your teeth fall out, blood runs freely from your gums and nose, and shit runs freely from your ass. If your pirate friends don't rush you to get medical care (and they won't), you'll basically diarrhea yourself to death and they roll your putrid corpse overboard.
"Did I just shit out a tooth? Aaarrr!"
Your only consolation would be the knowledge that later Disney would make an amusement park ride out of your life.
#4. Cowboy: Boredom, Low Pay, Uncontrollable Cow Shitting
Most men, having watched a few Clint Eastwood movies, have probably thought to themselves that being a cowboy would be the coolest thing since God invented the burrito. You have a wicked hat, you have guns, you have a horse. It seems like most of your life is gambling, drinking and shooting assholes. How bad could that be?
Wyatt Earp, Jesse James, Billy the Kid and whoever the hell Leonardo DiCaprio was supposed to be in that Sharon Stone movie, all made us think cowboys were king shit of the wild west.
Why it Sucked:
Cowboys were called cowboys for a reason. You're a dude who works with cows. There wasn't so much gunslinging and adventuring as there was riding alongside cattle as they slowly lumbered their way toward trains, to be loaded up and shipped north. These cattle drives were sometimes up to a 1,000 miles long, and the task of trotting along and making sure your mass army of cows didn't decide to up and head east to become sea cows, was about the most boring and smelliest job in history.
"What are we doing today, cows? Walking, and shitting? Oh, awesome, terrific."
The closest most cowboys got to excitement was wrangling cattle to be branded or castrated, because nothing says excitement quite like forcing a dim-eyed beast into a corner to have someone saw off its balls. The rest of the time the cowboy performed mundane ranch duties, stomping through ankle-high piles of cow turds the whole time. The pay was about the equivalent of working at Taco Bell.
Eventually the era of the cowboy ended. Did a new gunslinging sheriff ride into town and restore order through the barrel of a six gun? No, ranchers just figured out that the job could be done better by a few dollars worth of metal wire. The invention of the barbed wire fence pretty much rendered the cowboy obsolete, since cows have subpar fence climbing skills at best and once they were fenced in, there wasn't much need for round-ups.
Then the railroads expanded, so cattle didn't need to be walked 1,000 miles to the nearest station for shipment. The last cowboys were forced to play sad songs on the harmonica out on the open range before riding off into the sunset, which we assume means they went to join some kind of cabaret show.
#3. Knights: Petty Thievery, Subsistence Farming, Shitty Armor
The gallant medieval knight stands as a paradigm of heroism and manhood. King Arthur and his big round table full of knights are at the heart of the romantic genre that started way back in the 1130s, with references to the characters coming even earlier than that.
The idea of riding into battle on a steed while fully encased in metal and waving a sword is such an astronomically manly act that we're surprised anyone ever actually did it without their balls exploding from the testosterone. Knights made lumberjacks look like hair dressers.
Why it Sucked:
Ever wonder how a guy in over 100 lbs of steel and iron removed all that crap if he had to piss? More often than not, they didn't, and just had somebody else clean out the piss and shit later.
That part never gets mentioned in the stories, because that's all they are: stories. The romantic tradition in tales like Morte D'Arthur or Sir Gawain and the Green Knight neglect to point out that many knights started as little more than teenage mercenaries hired by land owners to defend against other neighborhood punks.
According to some scholars, chivalry was more idea than a reality, the way you say you're not going to not download porn at work but then accidentally spend five hours a day doing just that. Actual codes of chivalry were mostly ascribed to military knights, in the same way our modern military has rules and guidelines that occasionally are forgotten when someone wants to take photographs of naked prisoner pyramids.
Many pre-chivalric knights were illiterate and lived in small castles or homes built by the people who lived on the land they owned. They tended to roam the countryside looking for people of lesser status and simply taking their shit. Knights were the precursors to every aggressive douchebag you've ever run into in a bar.
Other knights who were able to restrain their asshole behavior lived simple lives of farmers and their knightly deeds were only called upon in times of need. If there was no Crusade to go on, they plowed fields and tried to farm enough food to feed themselves and their families while their armor got rusty.
That guy's the doctor, too?!?
If they ever did wind up in battle, they probably preferred instant death to wounding, since even minor wounds back then would become septic. The victim would languish in agony for days, dying while the "doctor" screamed, "None of my magic spells are helping! Add more leeches!"

WHEELING - With the flip of a switch by Wheeling Park Commission members, the 27th-annual Winter Festival of Lights at Oglebay Park entered a new "green" era Thursday with energy-efficient LED lights in all 78 displays - one year ahead of schedule.
Four years ago, festival organizers committed to using LED lights in all new displays while converting existing ones to LEDs within five years. Oglebay Marketing Director Caren Knoyer said LED lights use 85 percent less energy than traditional bulbs and last five times longer.
"We want to ensure that the Winter Festival of Lights will be glowing for many more years," Knoyer added. "For example, the animated Rocking Horse Display was first added to the Festival of Lights in 1992, using 85 amps of electricity with traditional light bulbs.

LET THERE BE LIGHT — Members of the Wheeling Park Commission, from left, Dr. Donald Hofreuter, G. Ogden Nutting, Bill Jones, Ron Hobbs, Sue Farnsworth and Douglas Dalby, officially opened the Winter Festival of Lights at Oglebay Park on Thursday evening. The light displays can be viewed each evening through Jan. 6. - Scott McCloskey
The new displays added to the festival this year also feature the energy-saving bulbs. They include a new amusement park-themed Strong Man display next to the Ferris Wheel and Carousel, as well as a new Leaping Frog display and an animated Volcano that has been added to the popular Dinosaur Dell display.
Wheeling Park Commission President and Chief Executive Officer J. Douglas Dalby said November and December are Oglebay's busiest months of the year, thanks to it hosting one of the largest holiday light shows in the nation. He also said half of those who come to the park during the holiday season are first-time visitors, but half of them come back year after year to see the show.
"Please come up and enjoy the lights," Dalby urged the public.
Knoyer noted that park employees strive each year to make the festival appealing to not only first-time visitors but also to local residents who have come to see the lights many times.
"We go out of our way to make it fresh," Knoyer said, noting that in addition to new displays, crews move existing displays around to help make the driving tour different from year to year. "We talk to people when they're here to find out what they'd like to see."
She also stressed that the annual display design contest helps give area residents a feeling of ownership when they see the lights. Entries should be on poster board with name, age, address, phone number and e-mail printed on the back and delivered to the Good Zoo office by Jan. 6, when the festival ends. Complete contest rules are available on the Oglebay website at www.oglebay-resort.com/fol.htm.
And Knoyer said the park's partnership with Wheeling Park High School means that many WPHS students have helped work on the displays over the years.
"We have boys who welded the displays bringing their own children to see the lights years later," she said, adding that the former Patriots can proudly point out to their children the pieces they helped create.
The Winter Festival of Lights began in 1985 with just five light displays and landscape lighting covering about 125 acres over a 3-mile drive throughout the resort, according to Knoyer. Since then, the show has grown to cover more than 300 acres over a 6-mile drive throughout the resort.
In addition to the displays along the driving tour, the festival features the Gardens of Light in the hilltop and gardens area with 150 hanging baskets of light plus thousands of lighted flowers, trees and shrubs, combined with distinctive holiday music. Knoyer said the best way to enjoy the Gardens of Light is to stroll along the brick path that leads from Carriage House Glass to the Mansion Museum. She noted numerous requests led the park to offer a CD with the Gardens of Light music at its gift shops this year.
She also stressed that the Light and Music Extravaganza at the Good Zoo is "better than ever this year with new music, new choreography and more lights." The extravaganza takes place nightly on the zoo patio with more than 35,500 LED lights choreographed to holiday music.
The Winter Festival of Lights begins at dusk daily. It can be viewed Sunday through Thursday until 10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday until 11 p.m. A per car donation is requested and is valid for the entire festival season. Trolley tours are offered several times each night beginning at Wilson Lodge. For information about Oglebay and the Winter Festival of Lights, call (800) 624-6988 or (304) 243-4000 or visit www.oglebay-resort.com.

SAN ANTONIO (April 9, 2013) – San Antonio Rampage General Manager Mike Santos announced today that the American Hockey League (AHL) club has signed goaltender Dov Grumet-Morris to a one-year contract extension. With the extension, the Rampage netminder will return to the Alamo City for a third season.
Grumet-Morris, 31, owns a 12-18-4 record this year, along with a 2.98 goals-against average and a 0.910 save percentage. Grumet-Morris has started 33 games for the Rampage this season and has faced at least 30 shots in 20 of those starts. In addition, Grumet-Morris has surrendered three or fewer goals in 22 of his 33 starts on the year. The 6-foot-2, 198-pound goaltender has stepped into the starting duties down the stretch of the season and has manned the crease in 15 of the team's last 18 games dating back to Feb. 22.
Last season, in his first year with the Rampage, Grumet-Morris played in 19-straight games (12-6-1) to help the club to their third playoff berth in franchise history. In that span, the netminder posted a seven-game winning streak, which marked a franchise high. Grumet-Morris finished last season with a 19-13-1 record, a 2.33 goals-against average and a 0.921 save percentage.
Grumet-Morris was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in the fifth round (161st overall) in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft. The netminder played for seven teams between the AHL and the ECHL in the course of three seasons before going overseas to play two years in Austria (2008-10). Grumet-Morris returned to North America and split a season between the Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL) and Greenville Road Warriors (ECHL) in the 2010-11 season.
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 year. 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.

One, two or even three exclamation marks are often added, especially in e-mail, to convey emphasis to phrases such as Thanks!, or No problem!. My problem is that in British English, you could also use the exclamation mark to convey sarcasm such that Thanks! could just as well be interpreted as Thanks a bunch, why on earth did you have to do/say that!. Is this just a simple regional difference? I make a point of suggesting workmates use the exclamation mark with great caution! (emphasis intended)

Given how bad direct text is at transmitting nuances of expression such as sarcasm, I would definitely have to chalk this up as a regional thing. Certainly in most of the online communities I have participated in, the expression of sarcasm uses a variety of fairly clear indicators:
You often see an exclamation mark in parentheses to show that the statement is sarcastic or not the intended real meaning:
I'm not convinced that in British English an exclamation mark does indicate sarcasm, in any case it totally doesn't work on me.
As Hellion hints, text is no good for this kind of thing, especially not if it's 'encoded' in some supposedly regional usage. So I'd either go for something explicit and unmistakable, or leave it out altogether.
Apparently there is a punctuation for Irony & Sarcasm:
American English doesn't typically denote sarcasm with punctuation. "Thanks!" is genuine. But emphasis or additional words can make it sarcastic:
I've also seen younger generations (born 1990+) use trailing letters to denote additional emotion that is not necessarily sarcastic: "Thanksssssssssssss!" I don't get it.

Store owners, police weigh in on string of protests at Mayfair mall
Protesters have a right to demonstrate, a right to raise their hands and the right to have a voice. Just not inside Mayfair mall.
That's according to longtime shop owner Abdel Khalek, who runs Egyptian International Art on the mall's first level.
The Egypt native shared those thoughts after demonstrators took to the mall, 2500 N. Mayfair Road, to protest for the third time in recent weeks July 23. Police estimated that between 70 and 80 people congregated inside the mall around 2 p.m. that day, said Wauwatosa public information officer Lt. Brian Zalewski, forcing the mall to close.
According to various media reports, demonstrators called for justice for Jay Anderson, Jr., who was fatally shot by a Wauwatosa officer June 23 at Madison Park. Protesters have demanded the release of dash cam footage from the incident. Police said the July 23 protest was nonviolent and no arrests were made.

Based on what he saw in the video, Jay Anderson, Sr. says his son had his hands up and was trying to talk to the officer when he got shot, though the father said he won't be completely sure what happened unless he can see the rest of the interaction.
District Attorney John Chisholm and Chief Deputy District Attorney Kent Lovern met with the family and their attorney Thursday to show them a 20-second clip of the shooting and to let them listen to several minutes of police dispatch transmissions.
Chisholm then announced he would not object to the Wauwatosa police making the recordings public.
However, Anderson said he doesn't believe the clip of the June 23 shooting tells the whole story.» Read Full Article
Wauwatosa school district files lawsuit against WIAA over conference realignment
conference realignment plan approved by the WIAA Board of Control in April, set to take effect in the 2017-18 school year.The Wauwatosa School District has filed a lawsuit against the WIAA over the
With the lawsuit comes a request for an injunction to stall the realignment plan, which rearranges several schools in the greater Milwaukee area within the Classic 8, Wisconsin Little Ten, Greater Metro, Woodland and North Shore conferences. The legal maneuver seeks to compel the WIAA to scrap its current proposal and start anew.
Wauwatosa was among the districts seeking relief from the current conference alignment in the first place, but Tosa feels its two high schools (West and East) are left in even worse positions following the changes.
In the approved realignment plan, Wauwatosa West would move from the Woodland West to the Greater Metro. Wauwatosa East would stay in the Greater Metro, a league that will only get tougher with the addition of perennial state powerhouse Germantown. Initially, Tosa was hoping for a reverse maneuver, sending East to join West in the Woodland.
"It is really about the future competitive nature of Wauwatosa athletic programs and the ability to remain competitive and field teams," Wauwatosa School District Superintendent Phil Ertl said. "I think, ultimately, we looked at the process that went into place to get to the decision the WIAA came to as being problematic.» Read Full Article
Protest over fatal shooting forces brief closure of Mayfair Mall
Wauwatosa —Protestors demanding justice for the June killing of Jay Anderson by a Wauwatosa police officer marched through Mayfair Mall on Saturday, briefly forcing its closure, Wauwatosa police said.
No arrests were made. Wauwatosa Police Sgt. Kyle Strands said the protestors disbanded without significant incident.
"There wasn't any behavior that warranted any arrests," Strands said.
Strands said an exact count of protestors wasn't available, but it was likely in the dozens. The protest began at about 2 p.m.
A Mayfair Mall security director declined to comment at the scene.» Read Full Article
Reports into fatal Wauwatosa police shooting delivered to DA
The Milwaukee County district attorney's office announced Friday that it had received the final investigative report into the fatal shooting of 25-year-old Jay Anderson by a Wauwatosa police officer.
Milwaukee police led the investigation to fulfill a state law that requires a team of at least two investigators from an outside agency to lead investigations of officer-involved deaths.
According to a statement, District Attorney John Chisholm and Chief Deputy District Attorney Kent Lovern met with members of Anderson's family and their legal representatives and shared the evidence collected by the Milwaukee Police Department.
The evidence includes recordings of officer dispatches before and after the critical incident, video of the incident and reports by the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner and the Wisconsin State Crime Laboratory.
The DA's office did not release a timetable for determining whether the police officer would be criminally charged.» Read Full Article

Susie Brkich never expected to make donuts.
"It came out of sadness," she said. "We had lost everything with a different business venture. It was one of those things. I was racking my brain. What could we do?"
After looking around her new neighborhood -- Brkich and her husband, Alex, moved from Chicago to Milwaukee to start their other restaurant – the idea came.
"I said, 'I think we should do donuts.' And he said, 'Are you crazy?' But I saw all the kids in the community, all the walking traffic, and there were no donut shops."
Then, on a trip back to Chicago, Brkich helped a woman find her car. To say thanks, the woman gave her donuts.» Read Full Article

A complete-game gem by Spencer Michaelis led sixth-seeded Wauwatosa East to a 3-1 win over 11th-seeded Wauwatosa West in a regional semifinal game July 12 at Breitlow Field.

Activists push DA for disclosure on police killing in Wauwatosa
About 30 community activists crowded into Milwaukee District Attorney John Chisholm's office Tuesday to press for the disclosure of information on the killing of Jay Anderson by a Wauwatosa police officer.
The officer, whose name has not been made public, shot Anderson on June 23. Anderson had been sleeping in his car in Madison Park. The Wauwatosa police department said the officer feared for his safety when he saw that Anderson had a gun.
The group of activists, which included representatives from various community organizations and Sen. Lena Taylor (D-Milwaukee), presented a letter to Chisholm demanding that he release the dashboard video of the shooting and other info.
"They had no right to do that to [Anderson]," activist Rodney Robbins said.
Chisholm told the group that he has not yet received all findings from Milwaukee police, who are investigating the shooting to comply with a state law requiring that outside agencies investigate police-related deaths.» Read Full Article
Video: How a Pokémon Go newbie experienced the craze playing in Wauwatosa
There's a new game grabbing the attention of young people in Wauwatosa and thrusting them into the great outdoors. It's called Pokémon Go.
Curious about the new game that's encouraging people to get active and make new friends, I downloaded the app on my iPhone and got to work. Alongside photographer C.T. Kruger, I hit the streets of Wauwatosa to uncover exactly what makes this game so appealing.
About Pokémon
But first, here's a little background information on Pokémon: it's a media franchise that was created in Japan in 1995. It's centered on fictional creatures called "Pokémon," which humans, known as Pokémon trainers, catch and train to battle each other for sport. The franchise began as video games and now includes animated television shows, movies, comic books, toys and trading cards.
I was never much of a fan of Pokémon growing up, but I remember Pokémon being a big deal when I was about 8 years old in the late 1990s. My friends would bring plastic Poké balls to school and launch them throughout the hallways; the Pokémon television show would play in the background during playdates at friends' houses; and Pokémon trading cards were hot show and tell items.» Read Full Article

"Way better" and "way more" are popular expressions, but they both seem incorrect to me. "Far better", "far more", "much better", and "much more" all seem correct. Is this true? If so, why?

Apparently, "way" was a contraction of "away". It took on an adverbial meaning in the early 1900s:
Way can be used as an adverb, but it is very informal. According to this entry:
It is not incorrect to say that something is way better or that you have way more of something, but it is not formal. It has also been in adverbial use for long enough that 80 year olds should accept it.
I think the reason "way more" or "way better" might sound incorrect is that the word "way" is also commonly used as a noun, as in "which way should I go?". You could substitute "which direction should I go?" for "which way should I go?" but heretofore I have not heard anyone say (even in slang) that something is a "direction cool site." (I might bloody well have to eat my hat in the future but for now I haven't yet heard that instance of delightfully creative usage stretching enjoying the slang category of acceptability.) If someone is associating the noun form of the word "way" in an adverbial context (just as a matter of familiarity or habit and not by way of linguistic analysis), then the ear might reject the usage based on the fact that something seems "incorrect" when a noun is substituted for an adverb.
That is how I determined why the slang use of the word "way" as in "way more help" was unpleasant sounding to me when I first heard it. So while admittedly the ear can be deceiving and is no substitute for rigorous linguistic analysis, the ear as one of our 5 sense instruments does alert us to external stimuli that are different than what we are used to and therefore provides us with departure points for further investigation.

Nice summary!
Nice summary of the whole breakpoints discussion, and I really like the graphic demonstrating finding natural breakpoints.
I don't want to belabor the point, but I just want to clarify that while Jeffrey interpreted my post as a criticism of using **any** breakpoints, that was not the point I was trying to make (and obviously I wasn't clear enough about making that point).
My point all along was just the inherent fragility of the canonical breakpoints, such as 320, 480, 760, 1024, etc. I love responsive design and believe that breakpoints are great! I just think we need to seek out natural breakpoints in design. If starting at a canonical breakpoint helps somebody to get there, awesome.
Anyhow, nice post!

Senior Editor, Fashion & Special Projects
Fall has always been my favorite season. It's a time to buckle down and get through the goals we set for the year. After summer's laid-back pace, things begin to get more serious. The clothes do, too. We trade in shorts and well-worn T-shirts for suits and tailored coats. And the result isn't limited to an external transformation; suddenly, we have a renewed drive to achieve what we set out to earlier in the year. Here are our picks for fall 2013. We hope they'll get you inspired for the upcoming season.
