Winter Beta Patch Three has come to WildStar and with it, many significant changes to the game for Beta players. The ability to level to 50 now has to be at the top of the list for most. However the adjustment to the Press NDA has only been to allow coverage for content from level 16-29. So let's take our first look beyond the City of Thayd and see what is in store for us as we continue our adventures on Nexus. It is striking, as we gaze out past the safety of the walls to see a war torn landscape called Galeras. It is tragic to see such a beautiful area, with great flowing white flowers and herds of beast grazing in such a state. Dominion has established battle lines right at our door step, reminding us just how tenuous our hold on our new home really is.

The picture given here looks like Lich King xpac when you first get there by using the boat in Menethil Harbor to Valgarde in Howling Fjord. There is the same type or similar type of housing on the side of the cliff.
edit : The first picture at the top of the post, i had not clicked the link to enter the post at the moment i look at it and posted this, now with the remaining of the pictures i can see it will be different but was still funny at first.
If someone is talking in general chat in a language you dont understand, chances are they're not talking to you. So chill out and stop bitching about it!
I've had no interest in this game for a while, but I'm looking forward to trying the beta. I want to see how the graphics look on max settings, because I know there's no way screenshots represent this type of style well compared to the real thing.
I'm interested to see if they can give us a sense of atmosphere without making the whole game seem too cutesy. I can understand their choice of art direction, but if they can pull off making it feel like a more adult cartoonish world, then I may be able to get into it. After all, I love old movies like Heavy Metal and Heavy Metal 2000 (I know it won't be that hardcore), as well as some other animated content. Spirited Away comes to mind.
If the whole game feels like Saturday morning cartoons, it will be DOA for me.
A sure sign that you are in an old, dying paradigm/mindset, is when you are scared of new ideas and new technology. Don't feel bad. The world is moving on without you, and you are welcome to yell "Get Off My Lawn!" all you want while it happens. You cannot, however, stop an idea whose time has come.

Movember: Grow a 'Stache for a Good Cause
If you're seeing more facial fuzz around you these days, that's because November is morphing into Movember, an international movement that encourages men to grow mustaches throughout the month to raise funds and awareness for prostate and testicular cancer. The mission is working: The Movember nonprofit estimates that growing one mustache is equivalent to 2,413 conversations about prostate cancer and men's health. Last year, the group raised $126.3 million, about $15 million of which came from the United States. Get involved at us.movember.com.

I have Jave Moss in my guppy tanks, as you can see in the pixs, it's turning white an very thin. It's happening in both tanks. Tanks are very healthy and water chemistery is not the problem. Lighting is provided by twin tube 24w T5-HO bulbs. Tanks are fairly new setups, maybe 8 to 10 weeks, nothin was in the tanks the first 3 weeks. Any suggestions, an or help. Thanks for your time.....I purchased the moss on line, from AZ, an was the first think to be added to the tanks..
If I had to guess, I would say you got a piece of some other plant in your moss that's growing out.. I have some hornwart that looks the same.

James Madison and the Spirit of Republican Self-government by Colleen A. Sheehan
Book DescriptionIn a study that combines an in-depth examination of Madison's National Gazette essays of 1791-2 with a study of The Federalist, Colleen Sheehan traces the evolution of Madison's conception of the politics of communication and public opinion throughout the Founding period, demonstrating how 'the sovereign public' would form and rule in America. Contrary to those scholars who claim that Madison dispensed with the need to form an active and virtuous citizenry, Sheehan argues that Madison's vision for the new nation was informed by the idea of republican self-government, whose manifestation he sought to bring about in the spirit and way of life of the American people. Madison's story is 'the story of an idea' - the idea of America.

Pols fiddle as new 'fiscal cliff' looms
In August of 2011, the White House and Congress, faced with blundering into a default on U.S. debt, agreed to a budget deal that was, by design, so bad that the lawmakers believed they would never have to live up to it.
Instead, a bipartisan "supercommittee" would supersede the terms of the Budget Control Act by coming up with a long-term deficit-reduction plan that both parties could agree on and the White House live with.

Kareena looks really good - she overshadows the bride. She needs to stop sucking her cheeks in though.
For the latest in Bollywood & Fashion download our updated Android App OR our iOS App.
What are you talkin about bubbles? WHEREE ISSSS the bride?
You Both make a Beautifull Couple ILOVEYOU both Mwaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh
i really happy fr karina &saif .........................look lovely couple
Fake sisters n their fake lovers
Kareena must be sucking off Saif all the time. No wonder her hallowed cheeks :)
karishma and sanjay don't love each other at all...they have been having problems ever since they are married...went to court against each other...fought like dogs...finally patched up...started living together as if nothing has happened...karishma had baby 2....problems again started and filed for divorce...I don't really understand how karishma married him in the first place...knowing very well what a womaniser he is...
all look nice
they both look lovely, especially Karishma
kareena blouz too revealing and wats wrong wid karishma's husband pant... wearing slim???
Karishma looks great. Kareena looks like a heavily madeup tranny. Saif looks ridiculous as usual.
kareena luking gudddd
Her figure is damn good,but her cheeks have gone inside...which makes her face like choosa hoa aam !!
Kareena does too much makeup which makes her face looks even bigger specially the blush and bronzer. Man Karishma's husband is short. Why didn she married Abhi..damn girl.Aish is lucky to have him *_*
i reaaly like pic 8 where you can see kareena's full outfit. that is gorgeous.
these two got surgeries done on their faces
i must say that the clothes r exellent but they're gonna get dirty on that dirty road!!
she sucks her cheeks so that her cheekbones get more prominent
karisma lukz much younger than kareena
What is up with her blouse, it is so cheap looking!! It is more like a bra. I wish she wore something more decent!
karena's dress looks like she borrowed it from her taashan wardrobe.DIdnt now that actress could keep the dreses if she wanted 2..LOL
kareena and karishma both look gorgoeus!
Saif look damn hot
Gosh she looks like makeup box
kareena look soo bootiful, and glamourous,
Her blouse is way too revealing. She looks pretty though!
ya she looks 100 times better than the bride!..totally gorgeous
Wow, KAreena looks like as if its her wedding.. WTF with her blouse.. It is just horrible.. Hedious..
Karisma looks way better than Kareena here. This is the most loudest of Kareena's dresses, lacks taste and she is too made up. May be the influence of Arora sisters? I wish she would follow her own sister Karisma's dress sense.
kareena takes it in back also
She's gorgeous! in a few of those pics, it looks like its saif and kareena's Sagneet, lol!

Thanks for helping!
We enjoyed browsing the showroom. Some new John Deere equipment, and some old John Deere tractors. A fun visit if you are a John Deere fan.
I loved the exhibition they have there.
We were invited by a friend that works for John Deere and we were able to know more about this incredible company.
The rusty building is great.
After spending 28 years of my career with John Deere in this magnificent facility, it is truly the best environment in the world to work. Former CEO and Chairman William Hewitt was dedicated to excellence in everything we make or do for our John Deere customers. This facility represents an example of excellence in every way.
A visit that is...
The grounds are absolutely stunning. Nice walking trail around premise. Lots of history inside. Exhibits are very nicely done. Friendly and courteous staff! We loved it!
Any john deere fan like myself would love it here, the building is immaculate, made all of steel. Theres a big pond out front with lots of ducks and swans. Inside is history with old equipment and one wall is all john deere history. Also new equipment on display, get in the operators seat. I would recommend to anyone young...
Hey.. John Deere has a special treat for kids, parents and everyone else. The size of some of these machine will have the kids going nuts, and then they get to sit in them! Go there and you will be surprised by the scope of the GREEN MACHINES!
Great place to take friends from out of town. Architect is unbelievable with the steel beams and water fountains around it!
The HQ site sits outside town on a beautiful campus. Just inside the front door is a display of many of the products John Deere has manufactured over the years.
I was on my way to Wyoming in August of 1998 when I was attracted to the John Deere operation in Moline. The place IS America, so it seems. As a historian I delighted in learning about the John Deer history and was given an illustrated book covering the John Deere history.
After going to the John Deere pavilion, we were unsure if we needed to go to the headquarters. I'm so glad that we did! They have even more large tractors and equipment to climb on and sit in. We even had some great interactions with employees who were leaving for the day offering to take our pictures etc.

1. Visit a page with a windowless plugin; e.g. http://www.brandonsanderson.com/
2. Locate the accessible for the embedded object.
3. Call IAccessible::accChildCount on this accessible.
Expected: 0.
Actual: 1.
4. Call AccessibleChidlren, passing iChildStart as 0 and cChildren as the child count (step 3).
Expected: The returned array should be empty (no children).
Actual: An array of length 1 is returned. The array member is a VARIANT with VT_DISPATCH but a pDispVal of NULL.
A NULL child should never be returned by AccessibleChildren.
This doesn't affect users of NVDA (or probably any other AT), but it's probably worth fixing for correctness and automation.

If you change your > analyzer in a non-compatible fashion, you need to re-index. I agree with Mike to store information like the data type in the index, but on the other hand, Yonik is correct, too. If I change my analyzer (and TrieTokenStream is in fact one, an analyzer that creates tokens out of a number), I have to reindex. The problem with storing different indexing settings (precisionStep, payload/position bits) per segment makes merging nearly impossible, so I would not do this (see also Earwins comment about that). About releasing 2.9: I would really like to leave this optimization out for 2.9. We can still add this after 2.9 as an optimization. The number of bits encoded into the TermPosition (this is really a cool idea, thanks Yonik, I was missing exactly that, because you do not need to convert the bits, you can directly put them into the index as int and use them on the query side!) is simply 0 for indexes created with 2.9. With later versions, you could also shift the lower bits into the TermPosition and tell TrieRange to filter them. I would like to go forward with moving the classes into the right packages and optimize the way, how queries and analyzers are created (only one class for each). The idea from LUCENE-1673 to use static factories to create these classes for the different data types seems to be more elegant and simplier to maintain than the current way (having a class for each bit size). So I think I will start with 1673 and try to present something useable, soon (but without payloads, so the payload/position-bits setting is "0"). Now the oen question: Which name for the numeric range queries/fields? :-( Uwe --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

The red wines of Bordeaux may be the hallowed tipple of the English gentleman, and their world reputation suggests they are the nectar of the gods, but when they are inexpensive, Which? magazine suggests today, they are not worth drinking.
In a blind tasting the magazine's panel of eight experts took 39 clarets costing less than pounds 10 per bottle from wine stores and supermarkets and in a sweeping dismissal rejected 36 as "very poor".
Reds from Australia and South America costing the same amount would be "much better", they concluded.
None of the wine names that have established the claret legend, from the holy trinity of Chateau Latour, Chateau Lafite and Chateau Margaux down, figured in the tests - their prices are stratospheric now, often more than pounds 100 per bottle, depending on the vintage.
But all the wines chosen benefited by association with the great names, trading on claret's formidable reputation for classic wine quality.
In the event, Which? says, "The tasting produced a lower than average set of marks, with the panel regularly criticising the wines for their lack of richness and ripe fruit."
One panellist commented: "The standard was very poor. There was very little value for money and in the second tier of wines (those over pounds 6) this was even more worrying."
The panel gave a wholehearted recommendation to only one bottle out of the 39, and qualified recommendations to two more.
The red wines of Bordeaux have been appreciated in England since before the Hundred Years War and have been known here as claret since at least the 17th century.
Made principally with cabernet sauvignon and merlot grapes, they are tough when young because of their high content of tannin, a mouth-puckering substance from the grapeskins. But as they age over five or ten years or even more, the tannin breaks down to give great strength to the wine, which should be balanced by intense fruit flavours.
Fine claret has always been a rich man's pleasure, and has been peculiarly associated with the English upper classes as a badge of membership.
The nature of the Which? dismissal caused anger in France yesterday. The Bordeaux trade was stung by the criticism, which it rejected as "wholly unrepresentative" of the quality of most lower-priced clarets.
"It is difficult to take such a survey seriously. We are happy to accept criticism, but this is so negative it lacks credibility and smacks of bad faith," said Eric Dulong, vice-president of the Bordeaux wine trade council and a wine shipper.
"If the panel had rejected eight or even ten wines, you could have said that was a question of taste or bad luck or possibly something we needed to look at. But to say that 36 out 39 Bordeaux wines were undrinkable is absurd."
Another Bordeaux wine shipper, who declined to be named, said part of the blame should be borne by the buyers of the large British supermarket and off-licence groups.
"There are 10,000 wine- producing chateaux in the Bordeaux region and, naturally, not all make wonderful wine," he said. "If the vast majority of the kinds of Bordeaux on sale in British supermarkets is poor, then there must be something wrong with the selection procedures, or the way that the wine is being kept."
As the top claret prices have dragged up the prices of lesser-known names, and British duty is high (pounds 1.06 a bottle), some British buyers were seeking out the cheapest Bordeaux, to cash in, he suggested, on the cachet of the label but to remain competitively priced. British wine merchants agreed that supermarkets searching for enormous quantities of wine would be unlikely to find good quality. However, several also agreed with the basic proposition - that much cheap claret is no good.
"It is up to Bordeaux to try to improve its quality so that it can stand up beside what the southern hemisphere is producing," David Roberts, of Berry Bros and Rudd, Britain's oldest wine merchants, said. "There is such fantastic quality coming in from around the world there is a danger any traditional wine-producing area could rest on its laurels a little too long."
Julian Twaites, senior wine buyer with First Quench, the company that owns the well- known high-street names Victoria Wine and Thresher, and which imported the sole highly recommended bottle in the tasting (Chateau Mercier 1996), agreed. "In our experience, finding decent Bordeaux is extremely difficult," he said. "We tried 500 wines and ended up with a shortlist of six that we felt offered good value. To try that many and buy so few says a lot about the poor quality coming out of Bordeaux. It is a lot to do with the fact they tend to be complacent. People believe French wines are the best, and Bordeaux is the best-known region, and therefore produces the best wine. It is not the case."
Mr Dulong does not see it that way. He said that Britain was an important market for Bordeaux wines and the Which? criticism was hurtful. "But we have our own very rigorous controls on the quality of wines and it is rare for more than 4 per cent to be rejected. For 98 per cent of wine to be rejected at any tasting is monstrous. It is absurd. If our wine was that bad, how could it retain its reputation as one of the leading wines in the world?"

Didn't realize tht Exotica was an Iris. Got some seed in a mixed packet of

got several days of rain and they jumped right up out of the pot I have them

Pitbull Contest Goes Awry
this is pretty hilarious. the walmart store in alaska posted this pic a couple days ago:
Send this mexican back to cuba so we don't have to hear him any more
Digging: The Great Old Ones - EOD: A Tale of Dark Legacy
Send this mexican back to cuba so we don't have to hear him any more [2]
Lol this is pretty funny, but I don't care enough to vote or whatever.
Everything about Pit Bull is awry
I've never met anyone old enough to go to da club that listens to club music
Lol! This is awesome.
yes, send him far, far away
Digging: Shun Tanabe - Shun Tanabe
imgurians made this happen. i love them for it.
His picture alone makes him look like a douchebag posing as upper class.
this fucker needs to be sent far, far away.
"I've never met anyone who liked this guy."
LOL he is unfortunately well liked in my area.
The only person I know that likes pitbull is this guy that invites underage girls to his parties and fucks them when they're all liquored up
This is his target audience I'm assuming
Lol it's like when Detroit protested Nickleback performing at halftime on thanksgiving. Hope they send him there and he gets eaten by a bear or shot by the Palins.
Orale chingo!
Send him to Sarah Palin lol
he made an MIB song that was all about himself.
isn't that what the movie is about?
Just to an Alaskan island? Bah.
is there a wal mart in low orbit? let's send him there
@Emim: Yeah, this is the first time I wish a mega-corporation takes over space. Not really, he'd try to record a DVD of that party and it will surely sell quite well.
i'd pay to watch his lungs implode en espanol
Pagaría para ver explotar sus pulmones in English.
I think the original contest is even more hilarious. Want to know if you have career cancer? People are voting as to which Wal Mart you're going to perform at
I used to dismiss him too but then I realised he's brilliant.
"Me not workin' hard, yeah right picture that with a Kodak.
Better yet, go to Times Square, take a picture of me with a Kodak!
Took my life from negative to positive..."
The first couple hundred times you hear or read that, you think that's awful. But when you look beneath the surface it's genius. He rhymes Kodak with itself for emphasis - makes the listener think of photo film. This sets up the next line which is negative to positive - a subtle and clever reference to developing photos in the pre-digital camera days.
^ 3advanced5me man. so deep
Chrisjon89 bringing the lulz
Time to open up a walmart in Kabul!
Send him in the space, so that he can scream ''Mr. Worldwide'' loud as he can
yeh you can't really call yourself Mr. Worldwide legitmately and then complain when some cheeky internet folk come together and send you to Alaska. besides, i'm assuming he's already been there since he's touched down and hit home runs everywhere. and been to places he can't pronounce and didn't know existed, like Philadelphia.
Now we'll see if he's really Mr Worldwide. Motherfucker.
ese pato lo deberian matar. ====>Not google translated and completely true
reminds me of that justin bieber north korea thing
Toooooooo awesome.
I despise this guy and it makes me hate humanity that he's famous
Haha fuckin classic
Digging: Life Without Buildings - Any Other City
Man. The Internet is so dumb.
Coming from you
they should send him to the walmart in siberia
Read this on SA the other day, I think it's hysterical.
This is the best news ever.
Look the positive side. At least you don't live in a latin america country, this guy and other artists with similar acts are popular among the junkies, whores and people with some sort of mental illness.
I'm thoroughly enjoying this. Maybe too much.
gon be polar bears and seals up in this bitch
Digging: Madonna - Ray of Light
Can't believe I share the same name as this guy.
Send Pitbull to the Mountains of Madness. He will appear to see Cthulhu, be driven batshit and his existence will buried without a trace.
Digging: Fishtank Ensemble - Woman in Sin
Every time I see Pitbull I want to punch that face. He is like 5'4 or something and tries to act like he's this big tough sexy guy with how he acts, the smirks and eyebrow raises etc.
It's the most absurd thing ever basically. So I endorse this.
pitbull vs the old ones motherfucker
this isnt news and i knew this would be an andcas submission
It actually worked. Pitbull is heading off to Kodiak, Alaska.
I hate him because he has ruined two perfectly good Enrique songs
Guess you might want proof.
Digging: Brendan Kelly and the Wandering Birds - I'd Rather Die Than Live Forever
gr8 joke I'm so proud
this is pretty awesome. i have a lot of respect for this dude after how good of a sport he was about this.
Hell, I'd love to visit Alaska, let alone perform there.

Step aside, Siri, Cortana and Alexa. We look at three new virtual assistants that raise the bar for usefulness, interactivity and personalization.
Soon you'll be chatting away with artificially intelligent bots. But the bot revolution will also usher in something strange: It will give us a bot to talk for us, as us. I call it a "me bot."
In the tech world it can be easy to focus on spec sheets but in reality a tech spec sheet will never tell you the full story about whether a product will meet your needs or miss the mark. This is particularly true when it comes to making decisions about your storage requirements where reliability is king.
The trend of Australia and New Zealand being early technology adopters, combined with the fact we're used regularly as the test bed for global organisations trialling new solutions and systems, places us in a perfect position to demonstrate the potential magic such revolutionary technologies can bring to businesses.
Small businesses are hit by ransomware. The New York Times says they should increase their computer security. I say this misses the real problem: backup, backup, backup.
Siri and virtual assistants like her will soon change everything. I. Mean. Everything.
We need a smarter infrastructure, with the emphasis on the data itself.
How much do companies around the world spend each year on data privacy services to fix the problems we read about in the headlines every day? Nobody as far as I can tell has published an answer to this question. So this month I set out to pull together the best available data points on the market.

Premier 100 IT Leader William Mayo also answers questions on combining international teams and the skills needed to become a CIO.
We previously looked at the huge demand for ProtonMail, an easy-to-use and free NSA-proof email service created by CERN and MIT scientists. It is based in Switzerland, meaning the U.S. government can't just hoover it up without an enforceable Swiss court order, which is hard to come by since the Swiss legal system has "strong privacy protections." The demand for the end-to-end encrypted email service was so high that ProtonMail ran out of a month's worth of server capacity in three days.
As the old infosec adage goes, "people are the weakest link in the cybersecurity chain." Clearly, enterprise security professionals agree with this statement. In a recent ESG research survey, enterprise security professionals were asked to identify the factors most responsible for successful malware attacks. It turns out that 58% point to "a lack of user knowledge about cybersecurity risks" – the most popular answer by far (note: I am an employee of ESG).

For this family, life has become virtually immobile. Tom, the son, beating his fledgling poet's wings against the walls of a dead- end job, knows this. His mother Amanda, the misplaced Southern belle floating in a deluded haze of expectation, could never admit it. Laura, the daughter, is its symbol - unable to face the world outside the apartment, she immures herself in the imaginary world of her glass animals. The story inches forwards, so that to begin with, besides catching the details, all that can happen is that we are drawn curiously towards the slow fire.
In Vicky Featherstone's new production we are only just pulled close enough during this first half. As Laura, Catherine Cusack creates an enigmatic enough presence to maintain anticipation of when she might break open. Nicholas Murchie as Tom, who is also our narrator, captures well the mix of despair and wise-cracking, disabused cynicism that he has made his defence. But in this phase so much depends upon the animation of Amanda. It is a rich and wonderful part, full of verbal key-notes in her flights of memory, fantasy and reproof. Mary Cunningham has a particular way of saying 'future' which highlights the 't' so that it is nearly a syllable on its own. This is exactly right since Amanda lives for a future that she cannot distinguish from her past, and the tic exactly represents the affectation that has become her whole character. But Amanda is also doomed to repeat herself, and it is a very difficult task to create sufficient modulation through one variation after another so as not to tire an audience, and Mary Cunningham does not appear tomanage this. A greater rein to the humour might be allowed without risking the play's essential melancholy.
Any production is eventually going to welcome the step forward that comes when Jim, the longed-for 'gentleman caller', eventually arrives. With Raymond Coulthard we are not disappointed. Williams calls him 'a nice, ordinary young man', and the fascination is how far that description is ironic. Coulthard gives him a scrubbed sunny face and courtly self-assurance which blurs the tantalising line between natural grace and the patina of self-improvement. Since we know that one thing Laura is vehement about is the virtue of sincerity, their scene together is the most absorbing, and they play it together with the utmost delicacy. It is the brief encounter of two worlds, or rather fantasies: Jim's notion of the zippiness of modern America and Laura's animation of the glass menagerie. The tragedy is that we are not sure which of them will live most sadly ever after.

Harold Camping isn't bothered by the fact that he miscalculated Judgment Day. The radio evangelist had predicted that the "saved" would be "taken up" on May 21, 2011 — this past Saturday — and that the world would be rocked by a global earthquake. Having live-blogged the day, Zap2it.com can categorically deny that the world ended.
"If people want me to apologize, I will apologize," said Camping Monday (May 23) on his Family Radio show, two days after the supposed event. "I did not have all that worked out as accurately as I should have had it. That doesn't bother me at all."
But, calling the event an "invisible judgment," Camping said he believes his prediction was correct and that something did happen, but that something was "spiritual," not "physical."
He also made a new prediction because, gosh darn it, he believes the end of the world is still coming — just five months later than his original prediction. Mark your calendars: Camping's updated date for Armageddon is Oct. 21, 2011. And, despite his earlier projections, it won't be an uncomfortable five months for us. The end, he said, will come quietly.
When asked by a reporter if he would give up all his worldly possessions on that day, Camping replied, "What would be the value of that? If it's Judgment Day, it's the end of the world."
What about people who — believing his prediction — depleted their life savings to promote his message? Camping said the country experienced a recession and that "lots of people lost their homes and jobs."
"People cope," he added, also saying that people gave out of a "desire to propagate the gospel and that he will not be returning the money.

Senate passes bills on child 're-homing,' harboring felons
Madison — In response to incidents where guardians handed off their children to virtual strangers, the state Senate approved a bill Tuesday that would bar people from transferring custody of children to nonrelatives without going through government agencies.
In other business, the Senate passed bills to make sure domestic violence offenders give up their guns and make it a crime for people to hide relatives who are eluding police. Majority Republicans rejected a Democratic proposal to drop the state constitution's ban on gay marriage.
The votes came as the Legislature winds up its session. Senators are to meet once more — on April 1 — before closing their session for the year.
The bill on child placements is a response to a 2013 investigation by the Reuters news agency that uncovered parents of adopted children setting up custody transfers through Yahoo and Facebook forums. Reuters identified eight online groups involved in so-called re-homing, including one — now no longer active — that offered a child to strangers once a week on average over five years.
The measure also would bar people from advertising online the availability of children for informal adoptions — updating an existing prohibition on such advertisements in newspapers and on TV.
The Senate approved the bill on a voice vote without debate, sending it to Gov. Scott Walker. The Assembly passed it unanimously last month.
"Currently, there's as much background check as someone buying something at Walmart," said Rep. Joel Kleefisch (R-Oconomowoc), the bill's author. "God only knows what is happening to these children in our country.
"This bill came about because of the few cases we know about. Imagine the thousands we don't."
The Reuters series included the story of Todd and Melissa Puchalla of Kiel in Manitowoc County. They adopted a girl from Liberia, but after two years posted an ad on the Internet to find new parents. They turned 16-year-old Quita over to Nicole and Calvin Eason in an Illinois mobile home park where the couple lived.
They did not know child welfare authorities had taken away Nicole Eason's biological children years earlier and that a sheriff's deputy wrote the couple had violent tendencies, according to Reuters.
The bill approved Thursday would make it a misdemeanor to bring a child into or send a child out of Wisconsin for transferring custody to a nonrelative who does not comply with an interstate compact on child placements. The maximum penalty would be a $10,000 fine and nine months in jail.
Supporters contend the bill would help halt informal custody transfers in which adults hand off supervision to others with power-of-attorney letters or no paperwork at all. If the bill is approved by Walker, custody transfers would have to be reviewed by judges or government entities.
The bill also would expand a prohibition against advertising the adoption of children to include email and Internet posts. It would extend a similar prohibition to advertising other types of permanent custody transfers of children.
Domestic violence. The state could better ensure domestic violence offenders and child abusers surrender their guns under a bill the Senate approved on a voice vote.
The Assembly signed off on the measure last month, and it now goes to Walker.
Federal law already requires people to give up their guns when restraining orders are issued against them, but under current state law, no one makes sure they do it.
Under the bill, people who are served with temporary restraining orders must be notified that they cannot possess firearms and that they are required to surrender their guns. They also must fill out a questionnaire listing any guns owned within the past six months. The victim also would have the opportunity to inform the court of guns owned by the abuser, in some cases.
If the guns were not surrendered within 48 hours, the perpetrator would be required to attend another hearing and prove the guns had been given up.
The bill is modeled after a pilot project conducted in 2010 and 2011 in four counties: Winnebago, Outagamie, Waushara and Sauk. Milwaukee County implemented similar procedures last year.
The bill would not change a controversial provision that gives offenders a choice of whether to surrender their guns to either the sheriff or another person approved by the court, which could include relatives or friends.
The bill also would not close a loophole regarding the sale of guns to people with restraining orders against them. Under current law, the buyer faces penalties in those situations, but not the seller.
Sarah Engle of Marshfield has been working to pass the legislation since 2009, the year after her ex-boyfriend fatally shot her mother and shot her in the face, leaving her for dead.
Engle had a restraining order against the man, James Lahoud.
"This is a step forward in keeping guns out of the hands of abusers," she said after the Senate vote. "When they have access to a gun, they are going to be more likely to cause harm."
Terri Jendusa-Nicolai of Racine also had a restraining order against her ex-husband, David Larsen. It didn't stop him from abducting her and locking her in an unheated Illinois storage unit in 2004. Authorities say she was just hours from death when she was found.
"The day I was kidnapped, I was threatened with a .38," Jendusa-Nicolai said. "A lot of women live in that fear even if they are not shot... The victims finally know that somebody is on your side. The law is on your side and we take this seriously. This will be very liberating and help them take control of their futures."
Harboring felons. People who hide relatives on the run from the law or destroy evidence to protect them would face prosecution under another bill the Senate approved on a voice vote.
The measure passed the Assembly last month and now goes to Walker.
The Journal Sentinel documented several examples in which homicide suspects were helped by family members — one finding of an investigation that uncovered how offenders escape punishment because of shortcomings in the system.
The measure has been spearheaded for a dozen years by Shirley George, whose grandson Joey was killed in Oak Creek after he was mistaken for another man. The bill has been repeatedly introduced in the Legislature but never passed into law.
Wisconsin law exempts a suspect's spouse, parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, brothers and sisters from prosecution if they harbor a felon or hide, destroy or place false evidence.
About a dozen other states have exceptions for family members harboring relatives, but Wisconsin law exempts more relatives and permits them to do more to thwart law enforcement without fear of prosecution.
The bill would make it a felony to hide someone wanted for the most serious felonies.
Drunken driving. The Senate approved a bill on a voice vote to ensure repeat drunken drivers spend time behind bars. Those convicted of seventh, eight and ninth offenses would have to serve at least three years; those with 10 or more offenses would have to serve at least four years.
The Assembly passed the measure last year and it now goes to Walker.
'Revenge porn.' The Senate approved a bill to crack down on so-called revenge porn, where a jilted lover or other former intimate posts nude or compromising photos to humiliate an ex-spouse or former partner. The measure would criminalize such behavior.
The bill is needed, backers say, because once explicit images have been posted online, they can prove to be all but impossible to remove.
The Assembly passed a similar bill in November. For it to become law, the two houses have to agree on a final bill and get Walker to sign off on it.

Recent reviews
Good 3.1 /5 from 83 reviews
It was very good.
Enjoyed the atmosphere.Went into town for the action and back home at Grafton for peace.
I was with a group of friends and we had reserved a Villa to stay at on the island, but needed one night somewhere to bridge the gap between when we arrived and when the villa would be available. As such, we all booked at the Grafton because it was priced well and didn't look like it was going to be terrible. It ended up being really nice, well-located, and the owners/management were very friendly. They also had contacts that made it easy to get a large van to accommodate our large sized group and even though many of us weren't staying for more than one night, they treated us like we were guests for the whole trip. Service was great, rooms were clean, A/C was functional and really nice to have when we were in our rooms. The hotel is literally across the street from the beach and there are a couple of nice restaurants just down the street for good food. All in all, a great stay and the pictures don't really do the place justice for how nice it was, as a quiet, pleasant place to stay!
So what really impressed me was the timeliness of the hotel in cleaning our rooms everyday. Secondly the look out from our room was amazing, hearing the sea rustle while you sleep is a dream. All in all the stay was relaxing and comfortable, just what we were looking for
Room had old fittings and fixtures and the walls were stained. was not good value for money.
