Totally immerse yourself in your creative work as you use one hand to pan, zoom and rotate your canvas, and then use your pen to precisely create your work.
Keep Your Eyes On Your Work
With Intuos5, set-up the ExpressKeys™ for your own unique configuration of time-saving shortcuts and modifiers. If you ever need a reminder of an ExpressKey function, lightly rest your finger on the capacitive ExpressKey, and see an instant, on-screen reminder of the key's function.
Wireless Capability
Intuos5 brings natural pen control to your PC or Mac through a single USB connection. If you prefer, any size Intuos5 tablet can be easily converted to an RF wireless connection with the Wacom Wireless Accessory Kit (sold separately at Wacom's online store). (Availability in Latin America varies depending on country.)
Professional Pen Performance
In order to simulate traditional pens, markers and brushes, the Intuos5 Grip Pen features 2048 levels of pen pressure sensitivity as well as pen tilt recognition. Varying the pressure of the pen against the tablet can create variations in line width and opacity or can be used to create unique brush effects.
Modern Ergonomic Design
The innovative design of Intuos5 features soft-touch, matte-black finish with illuminated accents. The ergonomic design allows you to flip the Intuos5 tablets in either direction to suit left-handed or left- or right-handed use. Available in three wide-format sizes, small, medium and large, you can choose the perfect size to fit your specific working style and workflow needs.
Wacom Tip Sensor
Featuring Wacom's innovative pen tip sensor, Intuos5 captures the slightest nuance of pen pressure starting with only a single gram of pressure. With every stroke, Intuos captures even the most subtle nuances of pressure, giving you the creative power to dynamically adjust exposure, brush size, line weight, opacity and more by pressing harder or softer with the pen.
Customizable ExpressKeys™
With the Intuos5 ExpressKeys™, you will work smarter, not harder. Use the default short cuts already set to the ExpressKeys, or set your own application specific shortcuts. Combined with the on-screen ExpressView, you will have easy reference to all your short cuts, so you can fly through your work more intuitively than ever.
Multi-Function Touch Ring
A favorite feature among Intuos users, the finger-sensitive Multi-Function Touch Ring provides you with control of up to four-user defined functions such as scrolling, zooming, brush size and canvas rotation.
The lightweight pen stand not only provides a convenient pen holder, but also functions as a handy twist-off storage compartment for pen nibs and handy nib removal tool.

Timothy Ropp
In 2009, Professor Ropp stood up the Aviation Department's Hangar of the Future Research Laboratory. The highly collaborative, multi-disciplinary lab develops technology innovations related to aerospace manufacturing and air vehicle Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul processes. His student research teams have won and placed twice in FAA's National Design Competition for Universities for projects related to novel airport and air vehicle operational safety and efficiency designs. They have been invited presenters at high profile venues such as AirVenture Oshkosh air show, Oshkosh, WI., the American Association of Airport Executives NextGen conference in Denver, CO and various research symposiums. His students and the lab have been highlighted in the popular press, listed in Popular Mechanics magazine as one of the Top 25 "Bold and Innovative" solutions for the future of aviation. Hangar of the Future was also featured in Aviation Week & Space Technology in 2012. In Fall 2013, Professor Ropp and his Hangar of the Future undergraduate research team were invited presenters at the 32nd Annual Pathfinder Awards banquet at the Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington.
Professor Ropp has served on the Federal Aviation Administration's Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) Institute through the Joint Planning and Development Office in Washington, D.C. He has worked along side JPDO members from FAA, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Departments of Defense, Commerce, Homeland Security, and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, providing subject matter expertise and guidance on implementation of new technologies and processes impacting global aviation efficiency and safety. Internationally, Professor Ropp is routinely sought for his expertise to research and speak at industry, academic and regulatory venues on his teaching techniques and technology innovations for aviation maintenance and safety-risk management systems.

Coyotes-In Packs
Coyotes-In Packs-Do Coyote go in packs? The answer was that sometimes four or five are seen in a pack but as a general rule, no. This is correct. As a general rule more than three coyotes are not seen together and these often eighty to a hundred yards apart, than closer. However, coyotes do congregate in large packs. My father was hunting in a piece of bluffy, bushy country some time ago and scared up a coyote somewhere in the bluffs. At any rate he saw him running and proceeding to the top of the knoll, he saw eighteen hitting the high places, evidently following the example of the first one scared up, who probably was their sentry.
A fellow for whom I was working, was out collecting during the winter of 1907, which was a severe winter here, and he said one evening about dusk there were several coyotes circling around his sleigh. He had a gun but was too cold to use it. I am told by early settlers that large numbers of coyotes would gather around any dead beast on the prairie and come quite close to buildings. Coyotes are scarce and shy around here now. A fellow told me a few days ago that he saw ten coyotes in a bunch around the lake, which is only a few miles from here.

Support Bay View
John Manke is an active former Bay View resident who is involved in numerous neighborhood organizations, including the Bay View Historical Society, the Humboldt Park Fourth of July Association and the Shore Shore Farmers Market. He believes Bay View has a fine tradition in its past that we do not want to lose in the future.
October is Polish American Heritage Month
A National Celebration of Polish History, Culture, and Pride in Cooperation with the Polish American Congress and Polonia across America.
The theme of this year's celebration is the 400th anniversary of the arrival of Polish settlers in Jamestown, Virginia, on October 1, 1608. Polish Americans can be proud that Poles have been a part of the history of this nation, all the way from the beginning. The first British settlers had arrived in Jamestown in 1607 and a year later the best craftsmen from across Europe were invited by the British to come and work in the colony. Poles were well known for their skills, such as glass-blowing, candle-making, soap-making, and tanning, and that's what they were asked to do in Jamestown. The very first goods exported from America were glass products handcrafted by Polish workers!
Please save our fire departments
In this day of budget cuts, many politicians want to eliminate fire department positions. Do you realize that the firemen are our first line of defense in any disaster, accident, fire or other emergency conditions. These firemen are a team. They are like family to each other. Their leaders are like mother hens keeping track of every fireman at a disaster scene, making sure that none are in harm's way. These firemen serve in conditions that could kill them at any time. The fire department has every fireman trained as an emergency medical technician to help save people lives. They work with great dignity in any emergency. What good does it do to have one fireman in one truck to fight a fire? It takes a team effort to accomplish this. How many times have they come to accident scenes, pulled people from burning or crushed cars, provided emergency medical assistance as needed all with great dignity. Do the politicians want the Keystone Cops, or men who serve with great kindness to their fellow citizens? We need a full fire department to protect us in time of need. These firemen are professionals who are not afraid of danger. Please keep our fire departments intact and honor these people who save our lives. There is no insult to women firemen. It is just easier to name the job rather than the gender of these people. If you would have an accident or a heart attack, who would you call first: a politician or a fireman? You know what the answer is. The more firemen that we have, then the more lives saved in our area. Please call your local politicians and support the fire department in their request to keep their units intact. Some day they may save your life.
Lost in time
Did you ever drive by a cemetery and wonder who is all buried there? Many times in the past, I have visited some cemeteries in various locations in our state. There are sections for children who died while very young. There are sections for rich and famous people with large grave stones. There are graves of people who have served their country in war and peace, and many who died in action while we were at war. There are people from all walks of life, both rich and poor, in the same cemetery. Many times this is a way to study our ancesters. Many relatives that we have known and have not known are buried here. We all know that one day we will end up in a place like this. Many cemeteries were used as picnic parks in the past. Forest Home Cemetery, at S. 27th St. and W. Forest Home Ave. is one of these. In fact it was an Indian burial ground with effigy mounds at one time. Many cemeteries were once farm land. Potter's Field was located at the County Institutions grounds in Wauwatosa in the past. In some of the old places, we can find pioneers who founded our area. On the Major Seminary grounds in St. Francis are buried the early clergy, brothers, sisters who built the Milwaukee Archdiocese. In the old Protestant Cemetery located on E. Norwich (E. Thompson) and S. Barland Ave., pioneers from the Town of Lake, the Village of Bay View and the City of Cudahy are buried. Many pioneers and famous people are buried in Forest Home Cemetery ( once part of the Town of Lake ). Old cemeteries that were eliminated had their remains moved there. At least we know that these people are at peace and lay in a serene location. Someday in your quest for knowledge, visit a cemetery with respect and dignity and study the tombstones. You might enjoy doing this study.
October 14, 2008, Humboldt Park Watch Meeting
On Tuesday, October 14, 2008, the Humboldt Park Watch will be having their regular meeting at the Humboldt Park Pavilion, starting at 7 PM. All interested people are invited to attend this meeting. There will be a report on the tree day event of October 7, 2008. There also will be other reports for the good of the organization. Call Ruth Simos, at 414-483-9330, if you have any questions concerning the Humboldt Park Watch. Everybody is welcome to come to the meeting. This will be a chance for to express your concerns about Humboldt Park. There is a need for more members for the group. Come and give your opinion on what is happening around us.
Parents are a very important part of their child's education process.
In our schools administration programs, there is always room for the input of parents to guide the schools in their daily operations. Most parents take their child's education for granted. They should know that MPS invites parents to become part of the planning programs of the schools. PTA is one way of doing this process. Scouting is another way of being involved. When the school administartors get together on long range planning sessions, parents are allowed to get their input at these meetings. The only things discussed behind closed doors, are personnel issues that have limited responses from school administrators. All of the other meetings are done out in the open for all people to be able to listen to and give opinions on. Most meetings take place at the Milwaukee Public School Administration building in the auditorium. These meetings are broadcast on WYMS at 88.9 on the FM radio dial. The monthly board meetings are also broadcast on Warner Cable Channel 14 in the City of Milwaukee. Become involved in your child's education and become aware of things happening down at MPS. Remember, you can add your input at the meetings if you desire to do so. The more input you have in these matters, the better the education process for your child in their schools. Contact your local school board representative and find out the schedule of these school board meetings. Contact your school principal to find out about meetings at your child's school. Please consider taking the time to learn of these meetings and participate in them if possible. Your child will benefit from this in their future. Be a leader and show us the way to do things.
History of the Bay View Village Hall
When Bay View was incorporated as a village in 1879, they used the old Red Brick School as a Village Hall, Grade School, High School, College and as a Jail. The old Village Hall was originally the Town Hall of Town of Lake. The Red Brick School was located on Niagara ( Potter Ave. now) and Michigan (Bishop--now Wentworth Ave.). The decision was made to build a new village hall in 1885.
Land for the new village hall was in Block 4 -- Mann's Subdivison. The land was a triangular piece of land bounded by Kinninkinnic, Pryor and Clement Ave. It was offered by Charles Mann, the owner for the purpose of building a villlage hall. The Village Board accepted his offer and asked for bids to build it and received many. Anton Stollenwerk, owner of Stollenwerk Company, submitted the lowest bid, $ 3,744.00, and got the job. Construction was completed and the building occupied on January 8, 1886. The lower level was used as a jail and the upper level as village offices. After annexation to the City of Milwaukee on March 3, 1887, James Carrol occupied the Village Hall until April 1, 1888, without rent, on condition that he would take proper care of the building. Shortly thereafter, Jacob Bullock petitioned for a better us of the building and as a result the old village library was moved inside. Soon the building was sold to a grocer, who moved it to the southeast corner of E. Russell Ave. and S. Logan Ave., near the turn of the century. It stood ther until 1937. It was used as a men's club and in its last occupancy was used as a private home. It later stood empty until it was razed. Electric lights were never installed as long as this building existed.
Bay View--The forgotten area of Milwaukee
It seems to me that Milwaukee hates to admit that Bay View exists. While it is a part of Milwaukee, It used to be a village on its own and once was part of Town of Lake. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel always calls Bay View the south side of Milwaukee. When Bay View news happens, it seems that it is ignored by the newspaper, unless it is bad news. Bay View has a very good crime record for being part of Milwaukee. It compares to our suburbs in its statistics. Because of its low crime record, police are not seen as often as other areas of the city. When it comes to local news, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel seems to ignore the area. In their South Shore Now newspaper, it is rare to find much local news on Bay View. Bay View has a very strong historical backround. It had the first social center in the United States. It once had the largest Rolling Steel mill in the area. One of its leaders appointed Douglas MacArthur to West Point, was rolling mill attorney and village attorney at the same time, was first alderman from Bay View to Milwaukee, and was the father of Great Lakes Naval Base in Illinois. When Bay View joined Milwaukee, the latter gained its main industrial base. Many companies started in the Bay View area. Its diversity is greater than most parts of Milwaukee. It had a train station in 1855. It has several parks for the people to use. If the Village of Bay View could have established its own water and sewerage district, it never would have joined the City of Milwaukee. Come visit Bay View and see what we have to offer here. You will easily see that it is different from the rest of Milwaukee. It even has its own historical society which is one of the largest in the State of Wisconsin. Where else in Milwaukee can you walk on the street and still be safe most of the time. Where else do people help each other out as much as here. Please support the Bay View community.
A current look at the Humboldt Park lagoon
When we celebrated Independence Day at Humboldt Park with the 4th of July Association, I looked at the Humboldt Park lagoon. Because of the very high cattails and other weeds and the very muddy water, you could barely see the water. If you tried to cut down the cat tails, you would get into trouble with the law. This was a very beautiful park, until the County Pension Scandal cut some of the funding for the parks. If it was your lawn, you would get a ticket from the police department for having weeds that are too high. The park workers do the best job that they can to maintain the park, but they are short staffed due to funding from Milwaukee County. The staff at Humboldt Park has to control 12 parks with very few available workers. Call your County Supervisors and see what they can do about this situation.
Supervisor Chris Larson wants to have a lagoon cattail removal (or thinning out) day scheduled for Saturday, November 8, 2008 at 10:00 AM. He, the Humboldt Park Watch, and other volunteers are invited to attend this event. The cattails in the Humboldt park lagoon are an invasive species, so the Wisconsin DNR does approve of this action. Any volunteers are requested to have hip boots due to the water where the cattails lie. These are several feet tall and block the view of the park lagoon. It will be a blessing to see them disappear from our sight.
How to contact Milwaukee Public Schools Administration for information
There are several web sites to reach MPS Administration for data on School Board meetings, agenda, and order of business.
Visit the Board's Web Site for Meeting Notices and Updates: http://www2.milwaukee.k12.wi.us/governance
Dog Park Inititive of Milwaukee County
There is going to be meetings on the Milwaukee County Dog Park Inititive for peope to give there input on. They are considering establishing more dog excerise facilities in the County Parks. They are having three meetings at the parks to discuss this matter. Go to web site: http://www.milwaukeedogparks.org/ for further information.
On Tuesday, October 21, 2008, there will be an informational meeting at Gordon Park Pavilion, located at 1321 E. Locust Street, held from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM.
Thank you all for a great time at the South Shore Farmers Market
On Saturday, October 18, 2008, we had the last day of the South Shore Farmers Market at South Shore Park, 2900 S. Shore Drive, for this season. Today we had the Kettle Corn Man, the Fritsche Middle School Band, children painting donated pumpkins and taking them home, and many of our vendors with their products. We had a very large crowd in attendance at the market. The Fritsche Middle School Band made some beautiful music at the market. You should thank them for being there. Where else can you take your dog along with you, while you shop for products at a market? The people attending seemed to be very happy with what they purchased. The farmers and other vendors were pleased with the way the entire season of this farmers market went. We had excellent weather with very little rain. Lake Michigan provided us with a great view in the park. Many thanks go to all of the people involved with creating and operating this market. Most of these people are volunteers dedicated to keeping the market as a great service to the Bay View community. We must thank our vendors for providing great items to sell at the market. We had over 40 vendors at the market. Thank you all for coming to this market and making it the great success that it is. This is the best farmers market in Milwaukee. Auf Wiedersehen until the next season of the South Shore Farmers Market. In the middle of next June, we will begin another 17 weeks of the market. We hope to see you again next year. Thank you all for a great time at the South Shore Farmers Market.
Unity Lutheran Church Senior Center is celebrating 40 years of service to the Bay View community
This month, Unity Lutheran Church Senior Center is celebrating 40 years of service to the Bay View Community. On Tuesday, October 28, they are having a Halloween Party at the senior center for members. Unity Lutheran Church is 77 years old this year. The senior center is totally church funded with a grant from Luther Manor. There is a great group of people at the senior center. The senior center was started in September of 1968. Ceramics, crafts, educational programs, nurse visits, and day trips to various locations are part of this center's programs. There is always a need for new members to join in the activities..All interested seniors are invited to join the center. Kaye Karcher is the current director. If you would like any more information about this senior center, please call her at 414-489-9035. Judy Wagner contacted me to inform me about this event. Her father, the late Nick Wagner, served for 65 years with the Humboldt Park 4th of July Association and almost as may years on the Milwaukee 4th of July Commission. He was instrumental in getting the flag holders for S. KK Ave. to be used for the holidays. He was also very active at the South Shore Water frolics and the Bay View Inter-Organization, which ran the frolics. His service to the Bay View community is well established. Judy Wagner, herself, is on the Milwaukee 4th of July Commission. Nick Wagner was honored on a special plaque at Humboldt Park for many of the things that he did. His outstanding work should be honored by a greater plaque than the small one inside of the park pavilion. Both father and daughter have served the Bay View community for many years. This church has done a lot for the Bay View community. The address of the church senior center is 1025 E. Oklahoma Avenue in Bay View.
How the old houses were built in Bay View
When they built the old houses of over 100 years ago, you would swear that the builders had neither a ruler or a square for measurements. You can't find a square corner anywhere in the house. When you install new floor tile or a new rug you have to cut and paste to get your balanced floor covered. These old houses had gas lights and kerosene lamps for lighting up the house. They had coal furnaces and coal kitchen stoves to heat the house and to cook with. Summer kitchens were built to keep the heat out of the house. There were no screens on the house. If you wanted fresh air, you had to open the window. In winter you would use the ashes and clinkers to place on the ice on your sidewalk if you had one. Other times of the year they were put out with the trash. Outhouses and chamber pots were used in those days. One of the jobs of the children was to empty the chamber pots each day into the outhouse. If you were lucky, your well pump was inside of the kitchen, otherwise you would have to go outside to bring in water. Parlor doors were sometimes placed inside of the walls to hide them. Hidden rooms were sometimes built into the house to hide valuables. There was no electricity in those days nor any automobiles. If you had to go somewhere, you either walked there or took a horse and buggy there. There were horse drawn omnibuses that operated in Bay View. The Aldrich Line and the Cream City Line were two of the bus lines in Bay View. If wanted to insulate the walls, you would place old newspapers inside of them. The basements were used to store produce. Potatoes, cabbage, rutabagas, onions and other such things were the produce involved. Homemade canned goods such as tomatoes, peaches, apples, pears, vegetables and pickles were also stored in the basement. Many homes had live chickens running in the yards to provide a quick meal if needed. Home gardens provided many of the foods needed in the house. The barter system was more common than the cash system. If you did a job for somebody, he would pay you in his labor or personal goods rather than cash. Doctors and dentists also took payments that way. There was more food available than there was loose cash in the area. People rarely locked up their house in those days. Crime was not as bad as we have it now. Parents gave their children baths on Saturday nights in an old washtub filled with water for that purpose. The water had to be carried in buckets to the wash tub. Hot water was heated on the stove for the wash tub. Many people made their own soap from lard in those days. The jail in Bay View had very few occupants during the days of the Village of Bay View from 1879 to 1887. In fact, the old Red Brick School had a jail cell inside of the building, that was also used as the village hall. If you were naughty in school, it was possible to visit the jail cell for a short time. The teachers had rulers in their hands for naughty children.
If you have the time, visit the local library and read about Bay View history. The Bay View Historical Society has books, pictures and archives to be looked at. Visit their web site located on the bottom of Bay View Now.com for more information. If you have time drive past some of these old houses and look at them for yourself. Be glad that you did not live in those days. Imagine, no electricity, no radio, no television, no automobiles, no buses, no bathrooms, no heat at night in the bedrooms, very few toys unless they were homemade, only homemade candy and homemade bakery, and these are only a few of things that did not exist then. Please support the Bay View community. Go to web site: http://www.bayviewhistoricalsociety.org/index.php to find out any more information on the Bay View Historical Society.

is passionate, flamboyant, exotic, and incredible talented – and on her aptly titled new
CD A Gozár! (to enjoy), she demonstrates why critics have long called her the "Latin Tina Turner."
"Salsoul", the genre Noël created to describe her sound, combines elements of salsa, soul, jazz,
funk, and afro-cuban.
Featuring smoking hot Latin grooves laced with rapid-fire Spanish lyrics, A Gozár! is a manifestation of Noël's love of music and dance and a dedication to her family in her
native Perú. Noël wanted the CD to be "something that you can put on at your party and dance to…
take a little break to dance to the ballad cheek-to-cheek and then dance some more."
Close to her extended family back in Perú, Noël hopes, more than anything, that this album makes
them proud. "In 1996," she says, "I went to Perú and I saw how important it was to them that I was
living my vision and inspiring them…and the money I make – all of that money goes back to them.
That re-energized me and motivated me to put this album together."
The tracks on A Gozár! range from tributes to some of the great Salsa and Cuban artists of the past,
to Noël's originals, and some of her favorite long-time standards. Written by Rafael Hernández, one
of the most prolific Puerto Rican composers, "El Cumbanchero" references the "party man" or
Her choice to record the song was made at the request of her mentally handicapped
cousin, Mateo, who has repeatedly asked her to add it to an album. "La Culebra" is a Cuban
standard that has been part of Noël's repertoire for many years. It was originally done by Benny
Moré, a famous Cuban band leader and singer in the early 1960's.
"La Cumbita" is a tribute to the
Fania All-Stars (of which Celia Cruz was a member). Put together by Jerry Masucci and Johnny
Pacheco, the band created the salsa movement in the US in the 1970's.
The name of Ismael
Miranda's "Asi Se Compone Un Son" translates to "how to write a groove".
The lyrics, says Noël, "speak to mixing ingredients and cooking slowly because otherwise you'll spoil the recipe. You have
to make it perfect so that the dancers who are not professionals can feel the groove."
While "Candela" is "just a little song about fire and flirting with men", Noël covers heavier topics in "Tu Condena" which talks about the weight carried by those who betray their friends and "Bolero de
Salon" which, Noël says, "is the song I imagine my father singing to my mom.
My father would
drink a lot and this is a song of him regretting that".
Originally recorded in Spanish on Noël's Bongoland album, "Carlito's Way", was written for the 1993 mafia film of the same name. While it
didn't make the soundtrack, it remains as one of the originals Noël is most proud of.
A Gozár!, says Noël, "is the soundtrack of my life in a way. These are the songs I've enjoyed singing
the most, the ones that get people up and really dancing, and the ones that really blow people
away. I call what I do 'hardcore salsa' because nowadays there is a lot of romantic salsa but I'm
more of a punk salsa singer. I hope people will appreciate the intensity and the passion of this
record. It's not lightweight; I'm the Nine Inch Nails of salsa."

Originally from Lima, Perú, Noël's career began at the age of eight with a starring role in a Perúvian
television show called "El Tío Johnny".As a teenager, Noël's mother Menina Pereira sent her to
Argentina and Germany to take voice, violin, and piano lessons.
Encouraged by the legendary Stan
Getz to move to the US, Noël relocated to New York City and briefly performed as a dancer with Jo
Jo's Dance Factory and Menudo.
Noël moved to Los Angeles in 1989, shortly getting involved in the
local artistic movement and in the early 1990s, formed Cecilia Noël and The Wild Clams.
A James
Brown meets Pérez Prado band, The Wild Clams received quick attention for their explosive live
shows and were consequently booked at the House of Blues and the Playboy Jazz Festival.
Nöel and The Wild Clams released a live concert DVD "Live in Hollywood" in the summer of 2008 and
in December, participated in the Los Angeles County Holiday Celebration on PBS/KCET.Noël also
performs and records with husband and former Men At Work frontman Colin Hay.

It's happy hour for Columbia Nashville artist Josh Thompson as his debut single, "Beer On The Table," is proving to be huge hit with country radio and fans are drinking it up. The immediate impact of the song could be felt while wrapping up a week in the southwest with a visit to Colorado Springs. Thompson made a surprise appearance on stage with KATC PD Jim West's band Latigo. During his performance of "Beer On The Table," the crowd went wild.

This link I use to see questions of interest to me has suddenly stopped working. Is this intentional?
Yes, we have refactored some of the search code; it shouldn't have killed anything, though. The breaking part of that query is the %2a ("sql-server*") - I'm investigating now.
As an update - indeed, the expansion of "foo*" to "fooA or fooB or fooC" has a small pre-existing sneeze, that was exposed by the revised code.
An an update to the update - this is fixed for the next deploy.

Take the ride of your life in Grand Theft Auto V for PS3.
Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V is the largest and most ambitious title in the series to date, with a world bigger than GTA 4, Red Dead Redemption and GTA San Andreas combined.
Set in the sprawling city of Los Santos and the surrounding area, Grand Theft Auto V delivers a world of unprecedented scale and detail bursting with life, from mountaintops to the depths of the ocean.
Los Santos is a sprawling sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets and fading celebrities which was once the envy of the Western world, but now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV.
Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a former street gangster, now looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score.
Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.
Age from 18 years.

Soft Structured Carriers
BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Original
" This is the carrier I used for small infants. It is the easiest to get them into and out of. I own two of the same ones, one for in the house and one for the car. Also good for babies who like to face outwards. Once the babies get bigger, though, the straps dig into your shoulders. It is great for easy, short trips like the grocery. " --nicolerenee515

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) - The U.S. Postal Service's mail processing operation in Norfolk will be closed this summer.
Media outlets report that the work will be moved to the Postal Service's facility in Sandston in Henrico County. The Norfolk facility's closure will affect 483 workers.
Postal Service spokeswoman Michele Martel says some workers could be reassigned to other mail facilities in the Norfolk area. Others could transfer into other jobs or move to the Sandston facility. Some are expected to retired.
Martel says the closure of the Norfolk facility will occur in phases.
The Postal Service lost $1.3 billion in the final three months of 2012. The loss followed a nearly $16 billion loss the previous fiscal year.

A lot on your plate? these quick chores won't make you late
Friday, March 16, 2012 1:10 PM EDT
Friday, March 16, 2012 1:10 PM EDT
(ARA) - Time is very valuable to busy parents with active lifestyles. Between work, school and family plans, the big rush to get everything accomplished leaves little time to tackle basic household chores.
One room that can often be neglected in all the hustle and bustle is the kitchen, yet it's also the area of the house where all the activity happens. And when visitors come over, everyone tends to congregate in the kitchen - so it really needs to be an area that you can keep clean without a lot of hassle.
To accomplish all the traditional kitchen chores without taking a lot of valuable time, consider these time savers:
* Set aside a different area in the house for the collection of mail, school homework and work projects. Because the kitchen is often a gathering area, it's a good idea to keep these items in another storage area so you can easily use the kitchen to cook when needed. It also makes a quick pick up much easier when unexpected visitors stop by.
* Keep food covered in the microwave. A covering - like a dampened paper towel - can help prevent heating food from splattering all over your microwave and leaving a baked-on mess. If you do experience a food spill, clean it up immediately. This will help prevent the need to spend valuable time scraping and scrubbing the microwave to remove these difficult messes later.
* Condense dish time. Only run your dishwasher when it is full to
save water and energy
. You can do this effectively by using
Cascade Complete Action
Pacs, which remove stuck-on food and greasy messes up to 24 hours later, guaranteed. So let the breakfast and lunch plates sit in the dishwasher until after your dinner without worrying if they will get clean.
The Cascade Complete Pacs are also powerful enough that you can skip the pre-rinse. Really, you can stop running the faucet and rinsing he dishes before you put them in the dishwasher. Just scrape off any scraps, and put them straight in the dishwasher. Skipping the pre-rinse can save up to 2,600 gallons of water per year (based on 12.5 gallons of water used to pre-rinse, at four loads per week).
* Planning can save valuable time. If you plan your family's meals once a week, and do all the grocery shopping in one trip, you can help save time and money on the purchase of groceries alone. Prepare a list of all the meals you'll be making, the snacks you'll need, and don't forget the breakfast items. From this list, develop a grocery list and then head out to the store. This organization can also help keep your refrigerator cleaner. That's because food items stored in the fridge will be consumed in a timely manner, preventing accidental spoilage which could result in a mess to clean up.
Making small changes in your kitchen routines - like only running the dish washer when it's full and not pre-rinsing dishes, or condensing the number of trips you take to the grocery store each week - also helps improve your environmental footprint, in addition to helping you to save time. And each small change you make as a family helps lead to a big environmental impact.
to find more future-friendly tips both in the kitchen and around the house your family can participate in.

As the Oklahoma City Thunder gets ready to take on the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals tonight, there's an off-the-court distraction that could impact the team's business.
Chesapeake Energy CEO Aubrey McClendon, who owns 19.2 percent of the Thunder, has been under fire in recent weeks for admitting to his participation in a program that enabled him to buy a personal stake in every well the company drilled.
This, along with pushing the company's debt up to a reported $15.6 billion and running a hedge fund on the side, resulted in the company agreeing to terminate the program and forcing McClendon to relinquish his chairman title.
So why does this have any impact on Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden?
Well, it's not only because McClendon only owns a fifth of the team and Chesapeake is believed to be the single largest corporate partner of the team, it's also because Chesapeake has been responsible for a part of the team's ticket revenue.
Oklahoma City has surprisingly turned into one of the hottest tickets in the league even though it isn't exactly a hotbed for big money. One of those reasons is that Chesapeake, one of two Fortune 500 companies based there, has bought up a significant amount of tickets. So is it possible that Chesapeake has inflated the marketplace for Thunder tickets, now well known as one of the best margin mark-ups on the secondary market in the NBA?
The company disclosed in its proxy statement filed last week that it bought $1.4 million in playoff tickets last year and $3.2 million worth of regular season tickets this year. That's roughly the equivalent of 500 season tickets in prime locations throughout the arena or 2.8 percent of the arena's capacity.
Chesapeake Energy spokesperson Lindsay McIntyre did not answer specific questions about the ticket distribution or where the seats are located, telling CNBC, "The information in the proxy is our full comment at this time."
While Oklahoma City does have a season ticket waiting list, the possibility of Chesapeake buying fewer seats would have more of an impact if they are the most expensive seats in the arena. McClendon is known to sit courtside with the team's managing partner Clay Bennett for every game.
The Thunder would not disclose to CNBC where Chesapeake's tickets are located, with team spokesman Dan Mahoney only saying that "Chesapeake is a great partner."
Patrick Ryan, co-owner of Houston-based sports ticket brokerage The Ticket Experience, found it strange when the Thunder suddenly stopped calling ticket brokers after the 2009-10 season.
"The Thunder became more difficult to work with and they no longer wanted to sell tickets to brokers despite having been aggressive cold callers in the past," Ryan said. "This was suspicious since many of their locations weren't profitable."
After losing money on Thunder tickets in premium locations for the 2009-10 season, Ryan released his seats.
"It is that much more curious this year and last year to see their premium seats being valued so much on the secondary market," Ryan said. "Yes, teams can turn things around but not to the degree the Thunder have. It's the fact that there is zero supply on the (secondary) market. I suspect that is because a large amount of inventory is being held by Chesapeake."
One Thunder insider, who preferred to remain anonymous, said that Chesapeake's involvement with the Thunder isn't necessarily bad business.
"There's one pro franchise in Oklahoma City, you'd think that they'd invest in a bunch of tickets and suites. It makes sense. The real question is, how many tickets do they really need?"
Last July, Chesapeake agreed to a 12-year arena naming rights deal that the company said would start with a $2.9 million payment for the 11-12 season and end with a $4.1 million payment in 2023. Due to a lockout credit, the Thunder only collected $2.42 million this year from the company for the rights for the building to be called Chesapeake Energy Arena. As part of the naming rights deal, McClendon also agreed to give what will amount to about $545,000 to Oklahoma City-based charities over the first two years of the contract.
Some analysts and investors have called for McClendon to step down after it was discovered that McClendon planned to borrow more than $1 billion from a EIG Global Energy, a private equity firm that was raising money for Chesapeake, to pay for his investment in the wells, which the board was previously unaware of. He had already invested more than $585 million to help finance the wells over the last 15 months, according to an SEC filing.
Noster Capital, a small hedge fund in London, sent a letter to Chesapeake's board on Monday, asking the company to terminate its relationship with McClendon. In the letter, Noster's managing partner Pedro Noronha, says that McClendon made $303.6 million over the last five years despite shares losing 23 percent of their value (excluding dividends). As of 2:30 p.m. ET on Monday, Chesapeake's shares were up 5.8 percent on the day thanks in part to McClendon saying he'd welcome activist Carl Icahn as a shareholder.
McClendon's athletic involvement goes beyond the Thunder. He donated money for the University of Oklahoma to build the McClendon Center for Intercollegiate Athletics, which houses the athletic department's administrative offices and student-athlete services.

WHAT: Soil and Ground Maintenance Plan
OWNER: Dallas Water Utilities
CONSULTANT: Terracon Consultants Inc.
TIMELINE: July — November 2011
As cities expand their water distribution territories and redevelop existing areas, water utility infrastructure upgrades become a constant need. Often, upgrades occur along corridors adjacent to commercial and industrial areas that have been impacted by petroleum hydrocarbon and other chemical releases, which pose problems to the integrity of the water utility, the safety of consumers, and the safety of the construction workers installing the utilities.
In Dallas, a large amount of aging infrastructure is slated for replacement and/or upgrades over the next several years. But already, Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) is experiencing major delays and cost overruns on projects due to contamination issues being discovered after construction begins.
Although the utility had management procedures in place, they were reactive instead of proactive, says Chad Kopecki, DWU interim program manager. Plus, the procedures weren't very thorough, consisting of a half-page document of directions on how to react to a contamination situation.
To minimize potential contamination problems before projects begin, the utilities department worked with the Dallas Sustainable Development and Construction Department to institute new requirements for installation and upgrades of water utilities.
Additionally, the utilities department created a manual that establishes mandatory yet easy-to-follow procedures; describes appropriate actions to be taken by staff; provides a much higher degree of liability protection not only to utility customers, but also to contractors; and gives the city and the departments an excellent public image — as public agencies in the mode of continual improvement and innovation.
Prior to a few years ago, the water utilities and sustainable development departments largely ignored potential contagion issues and only dealt with upgrading piping, etc., if contamination was discovered during development or construction. Although they have always worked together, they had to step up their collaboration efforts to develop a two-fold strategy that identifies and addresses contaminated properties.
Because each of the two departments caters to its own unique customer base — Sustainable Development customers are property developers while the utility serves water consumers — each took a different approach that complements the other's. Sustainable Development and Construction primarily deals with permitting and code issues on new development and redevelopment of individual properties within city limits. The department established a policy that seeking construction permits to submit information regarding the site's environmental conditions. If the submitted information indicates site soils or groundwater have been contaminated or may be contaminated, the developer is required to conduct soil and/or groundwater sampling to ensure soils and groundwater in the vicinity of the water service lines (i.e., the connection from the water main to the site building) are not impacted.
If contaminated soils or groundwater are identified, the water utility then steps in to require installation of alternate piping, trench construction, or special gaskets for the water service line connecting the site building(s) to the water main, thereby preventing any potential contamination of the water supply to the building(s) and protecting water consumers across the distribution network. It is also important to ensure the trench does not become a pathway of travel for contaminants from one location to another.
