Topic review (newest first)
Thank you for your time. If there is anything I can do to repay you in some way, I'll try my best to do so!
n seconds is understandable to me. Basically it's just a matter of figuring out basing on the information we have (radius of the tank shooting range, his movement speed, path length and the direction of his path).
When you say how long would you be satisfied with n seconds or do you want an answer like 39 seconds?
I'm asking when and at what point will one tank start shooting other units. I'm also asking for how long that tank will shoot that unit.
What do you want to do with that? What question are you asking?
We know the exact position of the tanks, their exact radius, their movement speed, as well as the full length of their paths, as well as their starting and ending points.
Pardon my ignorance, I thought I've explained it well before, but I guess I haven't.
Remember it is the radius squared.
Yes, thank you, I figured it'd work like this. Basically you're just comparing the distance between the tanks, and if it's equal or less than the radius, it means that the tank 1 will attack the others.
In the drawing below you are the red tank. You are located at (6,1). You have a firing radius of 5. The equation of the circle for your tank is:
There are three enemy tanks they are in blue.
Tank1 is at (10,5) to find out if he is in range you just plug into this inequality,
4^2 + 4^2 is not ≤ to 25 so that tank is out of range as the drawing shows.
Tank2 is at (6,6), plugging in,
0^2 + 5^2 is ≤ to 25 so that tank is in range.
Tank3 is at (9,0), plugging in,
3^3 +(-1)^2 is is ≤ 25 so that tank is in range too as the drawing shows.
I'm sorry for any grief I may have caused. I have one more question, but perhaps it'll be resolved when you draw it, so it'll be more clear to me.

Hertz Furniture carries high-quality school tables, activity tables and computer tables. You can choose from our huge selection of styles. Not sure which school table will work best for your classroom environment? Give us a call - we're here for you every step of the way.
How can I find the right table for my classroom?
Activity tables are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, all of which have their own advantages. The classic rectangular and square-shaped tables will give your study space the clean look of straight lines. Round school tables make it easy for small groups to work together because all students can easily see and speak to each other.
Horseshoe and kidney-shaped classroom tables are great for a teacher who is working with a small group of students. These shapes enable the educator to sit on the inside edge while the students sit around the outside. This way the teacher can easily work with individual students or the whole group from a seated position. If you are looking for a more original out-of-the-box shape, we also have flower, clover and a-plus school tables.
Who are the best school furniture manufacturers?
This huge selection is not only limited to shapes. Our student tables come from some of the leading manufacturers including Mahar, Academia, Russwood, ECR4Kids and Allied Plastics. We also have many sizes to choose from, so you can select the optimal shape and tabletop area for your students and learning space. It is worthwhile to consider whether it is preferable to seat many students at each activity table or facilitate smaller groups by buying more school tables with less seats. You may also choose to order a variety of shapes and sizes so students can choose what they prefer.
What table height will fit my students?
In order to help your students sit comfortably and learn better, it is important to make sure that your activity tables are appropriately sized. The optimal choice for any setting that includes children of different ages and sizes is an adjustable-height activity table. If you are looking to furnish a preschool or daycare, we offer preschool tables and toddler tables as well. And of course, there is always the option of standard-sized tables.
There are many distinct features that can make your table even more convenient. If you are looking for portable options, you can choose either folding tables or tables with wheels. Many activity tables come with the option of colored accents. Some have colored surfaces, while others feature colored edge banding, legs or glides. Each of these options offers a great way to brighten up your classroom.
How can I ensure that my classroom tables will last?
Classroom tables come in a variety of materials. There is the most common combination of steel legs and high pressure laminate surfaces, as well as durable solid wood tables and even aluminum study tables. For extra strength, you can also get hercules legs or hairpin braces which provide better support to the tabletop for improved durability.
What kinds of tables do I need in the classroom?
We don't just carry the basic classroom tables, we have any kind of table you might want in your learning space. Need sensory tables to help young learners in your preschool or daycare develop fine motor skills? Hertz Furniture has sand and water tables in a great selection of sizes, colors, styles and materials that your little ones are sure to love. Want to set up a few computer stations inside your classroom? No problem! We offer a variety of computer table styles in a choice of heights, sizes and price-ranges. With technology in the classroom becoming increasingly dominant, computer desks are a must-have.
Whether you are remodeling, updating your classroom, or just looking for a few new pieces, Hertz Furniture is here to help you with every step of the process. Our design team experts are happy to assist you in choosing the best classroom tables for your space, and setting them up in the optimal layout for learning. Don't hesitate to give us a call and find out how you can start improving your classroom today. From choosing the right school table shape to assembly and beyond, Hertz Furniture is here to help you from start to finish.

No matter what kind of tables you are looking for, Midwest has great options for the educational, religious or professional setting. Feel free to choose the training tables, portable risers and plastic chairs you need. Hertz Furniture is proud to bring you these exceptional items at great prices.
Furniture from Midwest Folding Products will come in handy in just about any room. If you are looking for folding tables and banquet tables for your social hall, you have come to the right place. Whether you want rectangular or round tables, you can choose from a number of sizes and styles. If you use the same space to host many events, you might want to order a number of different shapes so you can mix and match or create different configurations for various purposes.
Setting up many tables of different sizes can put quite a strain on custodians and volunteers. To save time and keep your tables in great condition, purchase some convenient table carts. With table trucks, you can easily roll multiple heavy tables into position, and keep them stored efficiently in one space.
Midwest tables are also useful in educational settings. When you are furnishing a lunchroom, functional cafeteria tables are essential. Our models come in many different styles with a variety of seating options. Choose between bench tables, stools and chairs to get the configuration that is best for your students. And while you?re at it, why not add in some durable classroom tables.
Appropriate computer furniture is necessary in every modern school and company. When you have valuable electronic equipment that is used on a regular basis, you want to make sure that it is properly-supported. Sturdy computer tables are useful to have in both a school computer lab and a business environment. If you need furniture for occasional training or professional days, we also have a selection of seminar and training tables. Cantilever legs will give participants more open leg room so they can sit comfortably during sessions.
Moving on to the gymnasium or multipurpose room, you can transform any area into an attractive performance space with portable stages and risers. With a number of shapes, sizes and configurations, anyone can find the right arrangement for a particular space. These units can be ordered individually or in sets. Smaller sections can be ganged together to create an original arrangement for every performance. This flexibility is also convenient if you need stages for churches. To ensure that performers, musicians and presenters can get up on stage safely, purchase some sturdy stage steps.
Having the performance space arranged is the first step toward creating a venue. If your portable risers will be holding a standing chorus or orchestra, you will also require some additional equipment. Midwest has user-friendly music furniture which can be used during performances or practices. Height-adjustable music stands will help amateurs, students or professionals stay on tune.
Hertz Furniture is proud to offer you a wonderful line of versatile furniture from Midwest Folding Products. Whether you are looking for one item or furnishing an entire building, you can find a great selection of models that will continue to serve your institution well for many years to come.

DIY Kalk Drip By sfal1967 on 1/24/14sfal1967 would recommend this product to a friendI purchased this product and received within three days, watched the video and put it together in no time at all. Very easy to use, my calcium level has maintained at 420 since I started my kalk drip. Very inexpensive from start to finish. Works just like the video. These guys are awesome!
Great By Joe on 1/13/14Joe would recommend this product to a friendItem works exactly as described and unbelievably fast shipping! Thank you
Great Beginner DIY Kalk Dripper By Jared on 11/28/13Jared would recommend this product to a friendI received this kit and the exact 2.5 Qt "OXO Good Grips Flip Lock Glass Canister" in the video above. Purchase here (http://goo.gl/eyDMc1) I also used the tapered bit in the video. Assembly took 15 minutes, and I was dosing in under 30 minutes. I say this is a good beginner method, because having the kalk in your ATO would be a lot less overall work. Since this review, I have switched to this method. The one tricky part about this kit is the flow valve. Most of the time it is either ON or OFF. You have to adjust it multiple times to get just the right drip. For my tank 1 drip every 5- 7 seconds was appropriate. It works well, and dosed the kalk perfect. On another note, I purchased 2 of these containers so I always have a backup kalk solution ready to drip. just swap the top, prime and go.
One word...AWESOME! By Gerard on 10/18/13Gerard would recommend this product to a friendIt could not be any easier to set up your own DIY Kalk reactor. It took me five minutes and I was up and running.
Very easy By David on 8/18/13David would recommend this product to a friendGreat product as usual with BRS. Bought a $3 jug at walmart and make the whole thing for less than $25. Love this place!!
Worked as stated By Michael Jay on 7/15/13Michael Jay would recommend this product to a friendWas delivered faster than I expected and easy to put together after watching the video (in some ways, I would have preferred written instructions, if only because I had to sit with the kit, bottle and other tools at my little desk here to watch the video as I built the dripper--I'm not one for a retentive memory!) A representative of the company was very quick and very helpful in answering some questions I had regarding dosing my tank with kalk and that impressed me the most perhaps. A very good experience and will be ordering from Bulk Reef next time I need supplies or equipment.
Packaging could be improved a tad By Ken on 7/11/13Ken would recommend this product to a friendThe product is great, no doubt, but the packaging caused the rigid tube to curve which can be a pain in the tookis to straighten out. Overall I am very pleased!
Finally, a super usefull kit of materials for a kalk dripper By Matt on 6/25/13Matt would recommend this product to a friendSo glad BRS offers this, the components are top notch and makes it easy to make a dripper for kalk or any other chemical you were looking to dose slowly. In addition this kit could be used to make a dosing container to use for 2 part peristaltic dosers. use the bulkhead, straw and hose with a 1 gallon slim jug, or whatever your jug of choice is and bam!
Works agreat By Earl on 6/14/13Earl would recommend this product to a friendI couldn't afford a calcium reactor so I bought the kit after watching the video on this DIY kit. I got a Rubbermaid 1.1 container from the store. Got my mixture mixed and it is now dripping into my sump. Easy to set drip time and it works great.
Works great By Earl TH on 6/7/13Earl TH would recommend this product to a friendI installed this on an old popcorn container that I had and I got it all setup on a slow drip. It was easy to put together, only took about 10 minutes to assemble and it seems to be holding my calcium and alkalinity steady. I still dose magnesium to help maintain the CA & Ak. Much cheaper to use than the ready made units, which is important when you have a tight budget.

Curmudgeon's Corner
cur-mud-geon: anyone who hates hypocrisy and pretense and has the temerity to say so; anyone with the habit of pointing out unpleasant facts in an engaging and humorous manner
April Fools?
From whom do you get your advice on home decorating? Where the pillows should be placed? How to arrange the furniture? What colors to paint your room? Are they properly licensed?
No...this is not an April Fools joke. Licensing of interior designers would be the law if the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) had its way in the various state legislatures. Today's Wall Street Journal carries a Op Ed piece written by Clark Neily, an attorney at the Institute for Justice, that discusses this attempt.
Voters Have Spoken...
Random thoughts:
The turn-out by voters in Germantown was reported to be some 34%, as contrasted with the statewide prediction of only about 20%. That may well be a 'victory' for the group that was pushing its agenda using postcards and telephone calls. I suspect that this group stimulated a greater turnout than would've otherwise been the case. That is a good thing.
It seems though that the voters were not swayed sufficiently so as to follow the suggestions made by this group. Those who were criticized by this group seem to have fared well enough to win. Those who were 'favored' by not being attacked by this group didn't fare as well. Are we likely done with this kind of electioneering in Germantown? I am admittedly naive, but I'm not that naive. I expect these tactics will continue to be seen in future Germantown elections.
The need for some kind of solution to the school crowding in the Germantown district will have to be addressed at some point in the future. It may be that a scaled down version of the defeated proposition will find its way to a ballot later this year. If so, I suspect we'll see higher interest rates and increases in all the associated costs so that, even if the total bond issue were to be reduced, the ultimate costs could very well exceed what would've been the case with this issue. The reported 55% to 45% margin was a bit surprising; I had suspected the issue might have been outvoted by a larger number. The smaller turn-out obviously included a higher number of voters who favored the referendum. That might be expected in a non-Presidential election.
The face of the School Board changes a bit.
The state Supreme Court race was critical, in my view, and the conservative won albeit by a relatively slim margin. That bodes well for the state.
There is a large segment of new members elected to the Washington County Board. What that will mean can only be determined as we see the outcome of the various issues that will face this new board. I hope that we will see special attention paid to holding down spending and thus taxes. Maybe my naivite' is showing again.
And, the 'Frankenstein Veto' has died at the hands of the voters. That, also, is a very good thing without regard to which party might control the Governor's Mansion.
All in all, the voters have spoken and our representative form of government is working as was intended.
Appoint Our Judges?
The dust has barely had a chance to settle and the losing side in the race for Supreme Court has come unglued. We read editorials about the travesty of electors deciding to hand retirement to the first sitting Supreme Court Justice in some 40 years. We hear the Governor expound on the loser being 'trashed'. We hear the cries of 'racism'.
A Milwaukee-based Democrat called for the appointment of our justices. The third party advertising that was so apparent in this race originated with those who favored Butler, but that is supposedly all the fault of the winner, Justice Gableman.
Troubling Issues...
There were two items in the newspapers today that are particularly troubling and those are:
Wisconsin's black 8th graders rank worst in the nation in writing...
Mortgage Loan Bail-Out Lessons Necessary...
Our politicians are dancing along merrily plotting to see just how they can use your money and mine to reward less-than-desirable behavior. They have forgotten, if ever they knew, that when we reward bad behavior, we get more bad behavior. On the other hand, if we permit some kind of 'pain' to follow poor decisions, we tend to see modified behavior.
What has this to do with the sub-prime mortgage debacle? Plenty!
Clarification - Snow Days Made Up 5 Minutes At A Time...
The actual make-up day involved is the 'lost power' day at the High School. Snow days are to be dealt with separately. See comment below.
The first thing that leaped out of the Journal Sentinel story this morning was the statement that Germantown had received, so far, 115 inches of snow this season. The 'so far' is there just in case...but I really hope that isn't necessary.
Virtual Schools Reality For Awhile...
Governor Doyle signed the bill that permits continued funding of virtual schools, with a relaxed cap on enrollments while a study is being conducted to determine their effectiveness on several different fronts. This is a temporary 'fix'.
This represents a real victory for those parents who have enrolled their children in these educational institutions and who love the result. Yes, these are educational 'institutions' even though it is difficult to see the walls. Yes, the students do seem to thrive in this setting. Yes, union teachers are involved in the instructional process. Yes, they do seem more efficient in some ways than the typical brick and mortar schools with which we are all familiar.
Surprise! Rich Get Richer Faster Than Poor...
The Center on Wisconsin Strategy and the Wisconsin Council on Children & Families, both found in Madison, have released a report that reaches the startling conclusion you see in the headline above.
Wow! What a surprise! Further into the article in today's Journal Sentinel that discussed this amazing statistic, we find out that Wisconsin actually ranks quite well so far as this measurement is concerned...but apparently not well enough to make these groups comfortable. The report shows that the gap in Wisconsin is actually smaller than on average across the country. The report found that Wisconsin actually ranks 11th out of the 50 states in this regard, and that means the gap between top and bottom fifths of the population are lesser.
Lake Michigan Water Issues Remain...
The Governor has negotiated a deal with the Republicans to get the Great Lakes compact passed so that he can sign it. The Republicans shouldn't have rolled over on this issue.
Does this mean anything to us Germantown citizens? Not directly since we are located in the Great Lakes Basin and can have access to the water in Lake Michigan should we ever need that. If we were in Colgate, though, we wouldn't be permitted to access Lake Michigan water. Why? Because Germantown is on the eastern side of the subcontinental divide and Colgate is on the west. Water from Germantown flows ultimately back to the Great Lakes Basin. Water in Colgate flows eventually to the Mississippi River and down to the Gulf of Mexico.
Darling Vs. Wasserman Race Off To Bad Start...
I received a copy of the statement released by Sen. Alberta Darling assailing rumors that were being circulated about her health. She was angry over reports suggesting she had health problems that would keep her from serving another term. An earlier article had appeared in 'Milwaukee Magazine' in which it was reported that she was "struggling with health problems". Apparently the editor of that publication later admitted not having done the necessary fact-checking and published a statement pointing out the mistake.
Rep. Sheldon Wasserman has denied any involvement in this activity and vowed that he would never add such a thing to the race. He is a physician and should certainly be sensitive to the sanctity of individual health information. Among other things is a law called HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) that carries heavy financial penalties for any leaks of personal health information.
Incidents of Insight...
The campaign for President of the United States seems, to me at least, interminable at this point. It has been going on for years now in one or another forms. We might think that we would, by now, even if trying to avoid the process, know the candidates almost as well as they know themselves. The answer is that we do...and we don't.
Each candidate is artfully packaged by his or her 'handlers' to be just what the handlers' believe we all want in our next President. Each candidate has been drilled on the policies and pitfalls. Each has had multiple lines written for them that have, by now, become their own. Different questions in different parts of the country elicit responses with slight variations on the central theme.
New Age Of Majority?
Governor Doyle recently signed a bill that establishes age 15 & 1/2 as the age at which a person residing in Wisconsin can make his or her decision to donate organs if they were to die. The age until now had been established at 18. This was included in Assembly Bill 570 that was co-sponsored by Rep. Jeskewitz and Rep. Wasserman, names familiar to our community.
I have close friends who have experienced the life-giving results of organ donors' decisions. They are passionately in favor of the program. I am not discussing the pro and con of organ donation. I am not raising questions about youthful donors; organs have been harvested and donated from infants and children for a long time.
Developer Reimbursement In JournalSentinel Article...
The reimbursement of 'pre-engineering costs' by the Village to Asset Development Group was the subject of Tom Kertscher's article in the morning paper. This involves the bonding issue that Germantown floated on behalf of Asset Development for sanitary sewer costs associated with two manufactured housing parks.
This issue has remained contentious and seems destined to continue on that path for at least the near-term. This reimbursement was for some $67,000 in expenses that Asset Development had incurred for this project. The payment was approved on a 5-3 vote with Trustee Zabel abstaining. The three 'No' votes came from Dean Wolter, Mel Ewert and Michael Bech. Wolter stated that he didn't think the agreement called for this reimbursement, and Ewert said he didn't think the payment should be made because the expenses were incurred before the contract was signed.
Northwest & Delta...Good or Not-So-Good?
Northwest and Delta have announced that they are merging. Northwest will essentially disappear into what will be known as Delta, and the headquarters will be located in Atlanta. What does this hold in store for us passengers here in Milwaukee-land?
For starters, Northwest owns 47% of Midwest. This 'merger' needs the approval of the Feds and part of that review has to do with monopolies being formed. What if Northwest is told it must divest itself of its Midwest holdings before the 'merger' deal will be approved? It will then need to find a buyer for Midwest. Re-enter Air Tran. Air Tran has already shown its intent to move into the Milwaukee market and make this a hub, and this would give it the opportunity to do the deal it wanted to do originally. It could buy the 47% owned by Northwest and then wait until TPG decided it was time to cash out on the 53% it holds. We were fearful that Midwest would ultimately become owned by Northwest and fretted over the meanings of such a deal. There is a distinct potential for the return of Air Tran in my estimation.
Germantown Slogan?
The Village Board is apparently considering the creation of a 'mission statement' that would succinctly describe our community in a phrase. A mission statement is often more than a phrase or a few words that are descriptive. The examples that follow seem to indicate that a 'slogan' is more what is being considered.
Administrator Dave Schornack provided three examples, and those were:
Excellence in Public Service
Striving for Excellence in Public Service
Committed to Excellence in Public Service
Congratulations Menomonee Falls...
Our neighbors to the south have just scored a significant new deal that will see a 110 room Radisson Hotel rise up like a Phoenix where the old, run-down motel stands today at the intersection of Main Street and Hwys. 41-45 in the Falls. The eyesore will begin to be redone quickly according to reports and will include a 'name' restaurant when completed.
The development group doing the Radisson will also construct a total of 82 condominium units across the street from the hotel site apparently in three increments.
Subliminal Self-Fulfillment...
Nearly all of us are bombarded with information tidbits from the time we awake until we retire at the end of our day. We live in the world of 24 hour news cycles unlike our forefathers. We have electronic access virtually no matter where we find ourselves. We are truly the 'plugged in' generations...and I submit we may well be too 'plugged in'.
If you're old enough, you may remember Mad magazine and the caricature character who graced its cover...Alfred E. Neumann. The caption that accompanied the picture was..."What? Me Worry?" This was published before we became so well connected, back when print was more the primary conveyance for information. I sometimes think back to Alfred E. Neumann and wonder if he would've been the happiest person on earth today, or if he would've also succumbed to what I've chosen to call "Subliminal Self-Fulfillment".
Free Speech...Repugnant But Free...
The HBO network has retained the services of Bill Maher for some time now. I don't watch HBO only because it isn't part of my DirectTV package. I likely will not watch HBO in the future, but for another reason.
Mr. Maher has chosen the time of the visit of this Pope to our country to launch into a vitriolic attack on Catholics and the Catholic church. I am not Catholic, but I do consider myself to be a Christian. I am not favorably disposed toward pedophilia nor toward members of the priesthood who have engaged in and/or tacitly condoned that despicable conduct. I do know that pedophilia amongst clergy has not been limited to the Catholic church.
Village Committee Assignments Made...
President Kempinski has made his committee assignments for the coming year and the Board has approved those assignments.
Notable, and laudable, is the fact that Trustee Langer is no longer Chair of the Public Safety Committee and does not sit on that committee any longer. Given Trustee Langer's former role as a POC firefighter for the Germantown department, this removes any appearance that might have suggested a personal agenda present in decisions made on that committee.
NYC Equity Investment Firm & Germantown?
It is expected that Corsair Capital, a New York based private equity group will sign a deal with National City today that will affect Germantown. You've guessed by now, if you're a regular reader, that the effect is to keep our newest bank name, National City Bank, in Germantown, at least for the foreseeable future. Corsair and some other individual investors will put around $6 billion into National City at a share price of some $5.00.
We earlier traced the evolution from St. Francis Bank to Mid America Bank to National City Bank in the first Blog that discussed the plight of National City. It's shares closed at $8.33 on Friday and that marked a 52 week decline in value of 78%.
Yes...It Is Legal...
Some members of the Village Board are reported to be using the 'tactic' of claiming miles from work to the Village Hall even though that is a trip that they'd have made on the way home. It is probably fine so far as the IRS is concerned. It has been done in many different settings over the course of time. If there is a specific reason/need for the stop at the Village Hall, then that is fine. If this is simply a convenient way to gain a deduction while satisfying the recently enacted requirements of expense accounts, it troubles me.
The trouble with these kinds of things is that, even though not illegal, some might take away the wrong impression from this knowledge. These kinds of things can too often cloud the minds of people. These things can cause people to 'see' things that may not be there. These are the things that help to create or feed the 'us versus them' issues. These are the things that not all would be comfortable in doing.
Good Old, Reliable MATC...
We've gone a long time between Blogs centering on MATC, but it is again time to take a critical look. A 'headline' from some time ago suggested that MATC just can't help itself. That seems to be the case. They certainly don't seek out the kind of news coverage they tend to generate. No organization would want to be in this type of 'limelight' and yet they do it to themselves over and over and over again.
Yesterday we learned that poor old MATC was being chastised by the 'state' for having proposed a budget that would require a property tax increase of some 6.4%. It seems that even Governor Doyle thought that was too high, and that is going some when you think about all the tax increases and fee increases he has dumped in our laps.
Disturbing News Article...
Ty Finke wrote an article titled "Village president's campaign finance manager resigns" that appears both on the GermantownNOW site as well as in today's print edition.
The article is disturbing to me on several counts. It seems to point up a schism between President Kempinski and Trustee Langer. Mr. Langer was the 'campaign finance manager' referred to in the headline. He reportedly resigned as the result of changes made to the campaign finance reports that he had helped Mr. Kempinski prepare a year ago. I presume that one would not retain the services of anyone other than a trusted friend/acquaintance for such a sensitive role. And such a seemingly abrupt end to the relationship raises questions for me.
Mequon Rd./Wausaukee Intersection...
The intersection of Wausaukee and Mequon Roads has been accident prone for some time with the increased traffic loads that have developed. The state Department of Transportation had originally indicated that it intended to place a 'round-about' at this intersection to slow traffic and control the flow through the intersection. Seemingly the fact that this involved a state highway with relatively high speeds hadn't crossed the state's institutional mind. Long story short, a couple of Germantown people who are no longer in office worked diligently to get this intended action changed and succeeded.
The state recently announced that a traffic light intersection would be created at that location and that the state would fully fund the work with the proviso that Germantown maintain the intersection. Part of this intersection is in Ozaukee County and Mequon.
Costs Of Food & Fuel...
We are experiencing a significant increase in costs for two 'staples' in our lives, food and fuel. Rice purchases are being limited in some stores because people have begun to hoard this basic food item. Gasoline and diesel fuel are both at all time highs and are moving higher. Grocery costs are escalating rapidly.
How is it that this can be happening? What is driving this rapid cost escalation? Is it the Republicans having been in office for the past seven plus years? Will a Democrat president change all this?
Mequon Road Intersection Update...
I received several emails that provided some additional information and thoughts on the subject of the intersection at Mequon and Wausaukee Roads at the very east edge of the village.
Trustee Wolter was kind enough to send an email covering a meeting held at the Germantown Library on Thursday afternoon, April 24th. The City of Mequon and Village of Germantown were represented, Senator Darling and Representatives Ott and Jeskewitz attended and several Department of Transportation representatives were present.
Wellness Program To Be Re-Visited...
Back on March 25th, we discussed the first story that centered on the Wellness Committee within the Germantown employee ranks. The committee was about to make a request for up to $20,000 to be used in a wellness program for village employees. This proposal was sent back by the General Government and Finance Committee at that time for more work by the group. I had mentioned at the time that there seemed little enthusiasm for a $20,000 expenditure but that the committee had been encouraged to formulate more detailed plans and return.
That return visit is scheduled for tonight according to a Journal Sentinel article this morning. That article stated that the committee will be returning with a proposal for the expenditure of $14,495 this year on wellness activities. The key here will be the plan of action that they present.
Disturbing News Follow-Up...
The 'Disturbing News' Blog posted on April 24th discussed the newspaper article that highlighted Trustee Langer's resignation as Campaign Finance Director for President Kempinski. Since that time, I have reviewed the campaign finance reports for both individuals.
Copies of the 'resignation' letter written by Trustee Langer dated April 10th and the 'acknowledgement' letter written by President Kempinski dated April 12th were found in the respective folders. Mr. Langer refers to "many changes on the forms that were turned in and have numerous changes to them that I have no knowledge of" as his reason for the resignation. Mr. Kempinski responded in his acknowledgment letter by indicating his surprise that this happened a year after the election (for Village President), referred to the "minor amendment" that "had to be made because you did not fill the form out properly" and his statement that "What is most surprising is your failed memory in regards to your making those many changes you have referred to". Kempinski went on, in his letter, to say that "the forms were filled out by you and signed by you".

For more than 30 years, Kenn Duncan's photographs energized such sentimental New York arts publications as After Dark, Dance Magazine, and Opera News. Renowned for his ability to capture the distinctive styles and personalities of his subjects, frequently dancers, he gained widespread acclaim for his gift of celebrating a specific type of performer: the woman whose phenomenal talent and charisma make her more than a star, more than an icon: she is a Diva. Duncan adored the glamorous, larger-than-life personalities that defined American popular culture in the 1970s and 1980s, and they, in return, adored him. Until his untimely death in 1986, Duncan's camera was like a disco ball illuminating the likes of Bernadette Peters, Chita Rivera, Angela Lansbury, Gelsey Kirkland, Joan Rivers, Bette Midler, and other luminaries of stage and screen. DIVAS! is a glittery celebration of Duncan, his muses, and the time in which they lived, loved, posed, and partied. It includes famous images, such as Anita Morris's controversial body-baring shot from Broadway's Nine, as well as rarely seen photographs of Susan Sarandon, Carrie Fisher, Lily Tomlin, Labelle, and Diane Keaton.

Curmudgeon's Corner
cur-mud-geon: anyone who hates hypocrisy and pretense and has the temerity to say so; anyone with the habit of pointing out unpleasant facts in an engaging and humorous manner
ObamaCare Backlash...
An interesting thing is happening in the world of public opinion; there is a decided ObamaCare backlash being identified by the polls.
Rasmussen, the poll I think most likely to be accurate since it polls 'likely voters', has found that there are now 58% opposed versus 38% in favor of ObamaCare. People seem to be thinking a bit more for themselves rather than simply ignoring and/or accepting the politicians' word for what is included/excluded. The numbers above, interestingly, track quite closely with the percentage of Democrats versus the percentage of Republicans and Independents combined. That suggests that the indications of a significant change being possible in the elections this year might well be realized.
The Shame Of It...
Shame, shame, shame!
The all-powerful Democrats are now staging the latest 'behind closed doors' set of shenanigans having to do with our health care system. The final act of bringing the two health care bills, those of the House and of the Senate, together should be conducted in full sight with a formal conference committee meeting in the open.

Interesting Candidate Mix For Village President...
The time period for candidate filings closed yesterday at 5:00PM and there are three candidates to replace Tom Kempinski as Village President following his decision to not run for re-election given family issues he cited.

Health Care Plans Kept Under A Bushel...
The lack of information on the Senate and House health care reform bills that has been provided to citizens is likely happening that way for a purpose. When I visit with generally well-informed people, there seems a void of knowledge and, thus, a lack of consternation about what our health care system will look like after the passage and the President's signature.
The fact that Congress and the White House do not want us to know the specifics is telling. The idea that the bills are available for anyone to look at is a bit ridiculous when one begins to attempt to dig through the mass of "government-speak" and "misdirection" that is to be found in the two bills. We are not to know because that would lead to an even greater amount of public push-back than is already occurring.
Something Afoot...
According to Scott Rasmussen, there is something afoot in America. He reports today that 75% of Republican voters believe the Republicans in Congress are "out of touch" with them. By that, they mean that Republicans in Congress are more liberal than they feel they, the voters, are in their political belief systems.
This ties in with a decided bent toward conservatism across America and makes me wonder if we are in the midst of a sea change in the political base on the right side of the aisle. I suspect that we may be; this has been a long time coming and it might just have arrived at this point.
Politics in 2010
Politics in 2010...a mixed bag at best depending upon the political party with which you most closely align.
The polls generally tell the pollster whatever the pollster was looking for based upon the construction and wording of the polling questions. The polls in Massachusetts show that both the Democrat and the Republican could be winners. The polling that favors the Democrat candidate for Senate is aimed at the voters at large, while the polling that favors the Republican is aimed at likely voters.
How Could This Happen?
Koss Corporation has been in the news for some time over the diversion of funds by at least one employee.
Each time a new story is printed, the estimate of dollars involved rises. The latest number being discussed is about $31 Million, with $10 Million of that having been siphoned from the company's account in the first two quarters of their fiscal year 2010. The losses are now reported to have originated prior to 2005 but the company says it will only look at the books for 2005 and later.
Washington Scramble...
The "Washington Scramble" is in full bloom. Our politicians have had a dose of reality and the scramble is on.
Sen. Feingold held a couple of 'town hall' meetings, claimed the people were about 50-50 on the subject of health care reform, and probably had nightmares those evenings. The people were about 90-10 against, if truth be told. Of course, as some have told us, these meetings were held in the heartland of conservatism in Wisconsin. Time will tell.
Bushy-Browed Curmudgeon...
It is only fitting that we pay tribute to Andy Rooney this morning on his 91st birthday. He is among the consummate "curmudgeons" of this era.
He served as a war correspondent during WWII in Europe and received the Bronze Star from the Army for his service.
The Race Watched 'Round The Nation...
The race in Massachusetts for the permanent replacement for Sen. Ted Kennedy is "the race watched 'round the nation".
Losing Our Freedoms...

State of the State, 2010
It became clear to me last evening that I am living in a different
State of the Union 2010
The President has delivered his first State of the Union message and I heard him say that Republican obstructionism was the reason that there is no health care reform bill passed yet. It appears that he has chosen to ignore the simple fact that the Democrats had an unassailable majority in both the House and the Senate and him in the White House. There are many reasons that there is no health care reform bill yet passed, but Republican obstructionism was not among them; the Republicans were not actively engaged in this effort by the Democrats other than as foils in press conferences.

Daisy Drawing Request

Three years ago, when we were burying my uncle, Cleaver and some gross lady dog (Solstice???) showed up at the cemetery and starting going at it really loudly. It ruined everything and we had to have a "re-do" the next day and it cost a fortune. I've hated him ever since for that.

April was a great month for The Lumineers. In addition to releasing its eponymous debut, the band played a ton of sold-out shows across the U.S. The Lumineers' open-hearted melodies, rousing acoustic folk sound and simple but raw lyrics have earned the group comparisons to Mumford & Sons, The Civil Wars and The Avett Brothers; still, The Lumineers' members have a way of embedding fiery emotion into their music that's all their own. Rollicking, incandescent and reflective, it's music built on a foundation of classical training and roots-rock touring.
The Lumineers' self-titled debut is already doing well thanks to "Ho Hey," a bluegrass-infused folk-pop single that almost requires the stomping of feet to the beat. The album also features a few songs from the band's EP, as well as great new material like the instant standout "Dead Sea." The Lumineers will perform at WXPN's annual XPoNential Music Festival in July — one of countless tour stops on an inevitable march to ubiquity.
This segment originally aired on July 16, 2012.

Seriously Cool Spring Sandals: Not A Pair Over $25!
It's generally pretty irksome when retailers price sandals at around the same level as more material-having footwear as, say, boots, pumps and sneakers. Don't even get us started on this pair for over $1,600. And while the under $50 round-ups are always appreciated, we at The Thread prefer an actual challenge. Behold, our favorite spring sandals under $25 -- with one that's even under $10.

Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a rare disorder that arises from tumors and ulcers in the digestive system. One or more tumors form in the pancreas or duodenum (the upper part of the small intestine). Not only can these tumors lead to ulcers, they can also be cancerous, and spread to the nearby lymph nodes or liver.
About one-quarter of people with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome have a genetic disorder called multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1). People with MEN 1 may have additional endocrine tumors in the brain and neck.
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is caused by gastrin-producing tumors, called gastrinomas. Gastrin is a hormone that stimulates the stomach to produce acid. Excess acid production may lead to ulcers in the stomach or duodenum.
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chance of getting Zollinger-Ellison syndrome include:
- Your or family members with MEN 1
- History of endocrine disorders
- Recurrent peptic ulcers
In many people, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome causes symptoms similar to an ulcer or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Symptoms may include:
- Abdominal pain
- Heartburn
- Nausea or vomiting
- Fatigue
- Diarrhea
- Weight loss
- Blood in the vomit or stool
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Tests may include:
- Blood tests
- Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy—a flexible tube with a light and camera is inserted down the throat and into the stomach and intestine to look for ulcers
Imaging tests allow your doctor to see internal body structures. These tests may include:
- Abdominal CT scan
- Abdominal ultrasound
- Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy
- Angiography
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include:
Surgical Removal of Tumor
Surgical removal of the gastrin-secreting tumors may be attempted. This may not be possible though if there are multiple tumors, or if cancer cells have spread to other parts of the body.
Medications for Ulcers
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome may be treated with:
- Proton pump inhibitors
- H-2 blockers
- Somatostatin analogs to control tumor growth
- Chemotherapy may be used in those who have rapidly growing tumors or for tumors that can't be removed
There are current guidelines to prevent Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. If you have a family history of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome or MEN 1, consider contacting a genetic counselor for screening.
