HERE Maps API - How to cluster map markers
This article explains how to create and style clustered markers and reduce cluttering on the map when dealing with a very large number of markers .
Contents |
When displaying a very large number of markers, it is likely that the map display will look very cluttered. It can be difficult to understand geographical distribution of the given data set, and performance will be reduced as each marker will take time to be rendered. What is required is a method of displaying the data appropriately at different zooms, showing more details as the user drills down to display a smaller area. Marker clustering achieves this by summarizing the data at higher zoom levels. An illustration of the problem and its solution can be seen below.

Standard Nokia Maps library Code Commentary
The Nokia Maps example uses the standard clustering library, and offers a simple custom theme based on SVG graphics. The key to the using custom themes is to include is to add the reference theme: myTheme when instansitating the ClusterProvider
var ClusterProvider = nokia.maps.clustering.ClusterProvider,
clusterProvider = new ClusterProvider(display, {
eps: 16,
minPts: 1,
dataPoints: [],
theme : myTheme
// Data Points in the form off latitude, longitiude
myTheme itself holds two functions:
// Set up a theme.
var myTheme ={
getClusterPresentation : getClusterPresentation ,
getNoisePresentation : getNoisePresentation
Where the getClusterPresentation() and getNoisePresentation - the functions style the data from the cluster. The former is displayed using SVG Graphics (see below), and the latter using a StandardMarker
// This is called for a cluster of points...
var getClusterPresentation = function (dataPoints) {
if (dataPoints.getSize() > 0){
return new nokia.maps.map.StandardMarker (dataPoints.getBounds().getCenter(),
text: dataPoints.getSize(),
brush: {color: '#FF0000'}
// This is called for an individual point which is outside of a cluster.
var getNoisePresentation = function (dataPoint) {
return new nokia.maps.map.StandardMarker ([dataPoint.latitude, dataPoint.longitude]);
Using SVG Graphic Markers
The SVG graphic consists of three concentric circles with the marker count within it.
'<svg width="39" height="39" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">' +
'<circle stroke="#FFF" fill="__MAINCOLOR__" cx="19" cy="19" r="19" stroke-width="2" />' +
'<circle stroke="#FFF" fill="__MAINCOLOR__" cx="19" cy="19" r="15" stroke-width="2"/>' +
'<circle stroke="#FFF" fill="__MAINCOLOR__" cx="19" cy="19" r="11" stroke-width="2"/>' +
'<text x="19" y="23" font-size="10pt" font-family="arial" font-weight="bold" text-anchor="middle" fill="#FFF" textContent="__TEXTCONTENT__">__TEXT__</text>' +
The color and marker count placeholders are filled in when the image is returned:
var stops = {
"0": "#8A8A8A", //Grey for 0-10
"10": "#CACA00", //Yellow for 11-50
"50": "#00CC00", //Green for 51-100
"100": "#0000CC", //Blue for 101-200
"200": "#CC00CC", //Purple for 201-500
"500": "#FF0000" //Red for over 500
var svgParser = new nokia.maps.gfx.SvgParser();
createIcon = function (count, mainColor) {
for (var i in stops) {
if (count > i){
color = stops[i];
var svg = iconSVG[digit]
.replace(/__TEXTCONTENT__/g, count)
.replace(/__TEXT__/g, count)
.replace(/__MAINCOLOR__/g, color);
return new nokia.maps.gfx.GraphicsImage(svgParser.parseSvg(svg));
Alternative Google library Code Commentary
The coded example provided also offers a version based upon an Original Library for the Google Maps API. Fortunately, the code is available under an Apache License, which means that it can be freely modified provided that an attribution remains. The Nokia Maps example is a derivative work which has been modified to work with the Nokia Maps API.
When to trigger the cluster function
The code works by making a re-calculation whenever the view port is moved, or the zoom level changed, this can be achieved by adding in an eventListener to the mapviewchangeend Event and an observer to the zoomLevel property,
var eventHandler = function (evt) {
map_.addListener("mapviewchangeend", eventHandler);
map_.addObserver("zoomLevel", eventHandler);
When the view port is changed, the array of all markers is distributed into two buckets, those withing the current view port and those left outside - Only those which remain on screen are processed further. Each marker left on screen is tested to see if it is close to any markers processed previously. If so it is added to that cluster, otherwise it is added to its own cluster. Essentially the flow of this code is unchanged form the original example. If a cluster has more than one marker, the cluster is rendered using SVG graphics
var markerIcon = createIcon(this.getTotalMarkers());
clusterMarker_ = new nokia.maps.map.Marker(center_ ,
{icon: markerIcon}
map_.objects.add ( clusterMarker_);
Adding an OList wrapper
The code for the addition/removal of the markers for clustering is held in the addMarkers(), addMarker(), clearMarkers(), removeMarker() methods, these are taken from the original library, and have only been converted as necessary. To update these methods to use the familiar nokia.maps.util.OList() interface for adding/removing markers, the original methods have been wrapped as shown:
function MarkerClusterer(map, opt_markers) {
ExtendedOList.prototype = new nokia.maps.util.OList();
function ExtendedOList (){
this.addAll = function (elements){
ExtendedOList.prototype.addAll.call(this, elements);
this.add = function (element){
ExtendedOList.prototype.add.call(this, element);
this.clear= function (){
this.remove= function (element){
this.removeAt= function (idx){
removeMarker( ExtendedOList.prototype.get.call(this,idx));
this.removeAll= function (elements){
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; ++i) {
removeMarker( elements[i]);
this.objects = new ExtendedOList();
How to use the alternative marker clusterer library
The MarkerClusterer library is available as a separate JavaScript file. To use it, include a link to the file in the <header> of your page.
<script type="text/javascript" charset="UTF-8" src="./markerclusterer.js"></script>
To cluster the markers place them into an array, and create the MarkerClusterer as shown, and and call MarkerClusterer.objects.addAll()
var markers = [];
for (var i = 0; i < size; i++){
var marker = new nokia.maps.map.StandardMarker (randomPointNear (lat, long, spread) );
var markerCluster = new MarkerClusterer();
The MarkerClusterer class has been written as a nokia.maps.map.component.Component . To display the clustered markers on a map, attach the component to the MapDisplay.
The MarkerClusterer exposes a single objects property for manipulating the markers. As expected this ordered list of objects exposes an nokia.maps.util.OList interface, and markers can be added, removed and queried in the same familar manner as objects in a nokia.maps.map.Container
- clusterer.objects.add(marker); to add a single marker to the MarkerClusterer
- clusterer.objects.addAll(markers); to add an Array of markers
- clusterer.objects.clear(); to empty all markers from the MarkerClusterer
- clusterer.objects.getLength(); to find the total number of markers clustered.
- clusterer.objects.remove(marker); to remove a single marker from the MarkerClusterer
- clusterer.objects.removeAll(markers); to remove an Array of markers from the MarkerClusterer
- clusterer.objects.removeAt(index); to remove a specified marker at the given index from the MarkerClusterer
The Code Example adds 7000 random markers to a map and demonstrates the use of both the standard clustering library and the alternative the MarkerClusterer component on a Nokia Map. This is a client side library which works reasonably well for a large number of markers, but performance is reduced when the number of markers reaches the tens of thousands, where it starts to trigger "slow Script" dialogs in Internet Explorer for example. 'The performance of client side libraries is inextricably linked to the performance of the web browser used. For even larger numbers of markers the only solution would be to trigger the calculations server side instead, to introduce view port based marker management or to introduce a map overlay

Cocaine withdrawal occurs when a heavy cocaine user cuts down or quits taking the drug. Complete abstinence and a serum drug level of zero are not required.
Cocaine produces a sense of extreme joy by causing the brain to release higher than normal amounts of some biochemicals. However, cocaine's effects on other parts of the body can be very serious or even deadly.
When cocaine use is stopped or when a binge ends, a crash follows almost immediately. This crash is accompanied by a strong craving for more cocaine. Additional symptoms include fatigue, lack of pleasure, anxiety, irritability, sleepiness, and sometimes agitation or extreme suspicion or paranoia.
Cocaine withdrawal often has no visible physical symptoms like the vomiting and shaking that accompanies the withdrawal from heroin or alcohol.
In the past, people underestimated the how addictive cocaine can be. However, cocaine is addictive when addiction is defined as a desire for more of the drug, despite negative consequences.
The level of craving, irritability, delayed depression, and other symptoms produced by cocaine withdrawal rivals or exceeds that felt with other withdrawal syndromes.
See also:
Primary symptoms may include:
The craving and depression can last for months following cessation of long-term heavy use (particularly daily). Withdrawal symptoms may also be associated with suicidal thoughts in some people.
During withdrawal, there can be powerful, intense cravings for cocaine. However, the "high" associated with ongoing use becomes less and less pleasant, and can produce fear and extreme suspicion rather than joy (euphoria). Just the same, the cravings may remain powerful.
A physical examination and history of cocaine use are sufficient to diagnose this condition.
A toxicology (poison) screen may be performed to see if other drugs may have been taken.
Other routine tests may include:
The withdrawal from cocaine may not be as unstable as withdrawal from alcohol. However, the withdrawal from any chronic substance abuse is very serious. There is a risk of suicide or overdose.
Symptoms usually disappear over time. People who have cocaine withdrawal will often use alcohol, sedatives, hypnotics, or anti-anxiety medications such as diazepam (Valium) or lorazepam (Ativan)to treat their symptoms. Use of these drugs is not recommended because it simply shifts addiction from one substance to another.
At least half of all people addicted to cocaine also have a mental disorder (particularly depression and attention-deficit disorder). These conditions should be suspected and treated. When diagnosed and treated, relapse rates are dramatically reduced. All prescription drug use should be monitored carefully in patients who abuse substances.
The 12-step support groups, such as Cocaine Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous, have helped many people addicted to cocaine. Alternative groups such as SMART recovery should be recommended for those who do not like the 12-step approach.
Cocaine addiction is difficult to treat, and relapse can occur. However, the rates of achieving stabilization are as good as those for other chronic illnesses like diabetes and asthma.
Treatment should start with the least restrictive option and move up if necessary. Outpatient care is as effective as inpatient care for most people addicted to cocaine, according to research.
Presently there are no effective medications for reducing craving, although some are being tested. Some studies have reported that medications such as amantadine and bromocriptine may help to reduce patient's craving, increase energy, and normalize sleep, particularly among those with the most seriously addicted.
Because many users will abuse more than one drug, other withdrawal syndromes, such as alcohol withdrawal, need to be ruled out.
Call your health care provider if you use cocaine and need help to stop using it.
Avoid cocaine use. If you have previously used cocaine and wish to stop, try to avoid people, places, and things you associate with the drug. If you find yourself considering the euphoria produced by cocaine, force yourself to think of the negative consequences that follow its use. Group participation is helpful for many people.

Kenny Loggins relishes Hall of Fame visit
I spend a lot of time walking through the Museum with celebrities. Some have very little interest, others modest – and then there's the serious fan, like Kenny Loggins.
The popular musician was in town Thursday to play a benefit show for Hospice at Ommegang Brewery in Cooperstown, fronting his band Blue Sky Riders, which includes vocalist Georgia Middleman and bass player/guitarist Gary Burr.
The very accomplished Loggins won Best Male Pop Vocal Grammy for "This Is It" in 1980, and co-wrote the 1979 Grammy-winning Song of The Year "What A Fool Believes" with his long-time friend, Michael McDonald of the Doobie Brothers.
Along with his son Luke, who is entering his senior year at Santa Barbara High School and pitches for the baseball team, Loggins spent Thursday afternoon at the Hall of Fame. The two completely immersed themselves in the history of the game.
Loggins, who played youth baseball through the Babe Ruth level, played catch with all five of his children through the years. "I wanted them to know baseball like I did," he said. "Luke has a much better temperament for the game than I did. He handles adversity well."
Growing up in Alhambra, Calif., Loggins and his dad would sit in the kitchen and listen to Vin Scully call Dodger games on the radio. "I grew up with Koufax and Drysdale. It seemed like one of them pitched every day."
Walking through the Hall of Fame's collections, "Oh my God, this is in great shape," he said, marveling at the wonderful conservation of the jersey.
Holding a Stan Musial game-used bat he looked skyward and said, "This is my day. 'The Man' was unbelievable." I explained to Loggins that Musial was a five-tool player – he could hit for power and average, run, throw and catch. I asked him if he knew any five-tool musicians.
Without even thinking, he answered exactly as Graham Nash did two years ago when I asked him the same question: "Prince." Loggins added Stevie Wonder and Nash added Stephen Stills.
After seeing Ty Cobb and Christy Mathewson sweaters, Loggins asked where he could get one. "I wish these were still in vogue. These are beautiful," he said.
Finally, while holding the bat Ted Williams used for his 521st and final home run, he noticed that part of the Louisville Slugger trademark was the word, 'powerized.' "Do you think I could get my guitar powerized?" he asked his Burr and me.
After seeing artifacts from Willie Mays, Orel Hershiser, and so many other, he softly said to no one in particular, "You forget how short a baseball career is. " How true.
Two hours later, Loggins concluded, "This Museum is incredibly well done. It is interactive and exciting, and chock full of great contextual information. It plays well to my son Luke, who's in high school and also to older folks, like Gary and me. The experience really took me back in time, right back to my childhood."
Jeff Idelson is the president of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Jeff has posted a wonderful tribute to Kenny Nad to the Hall and its staff. Congratulations! Keep up the good work. Jim Gill
Like Kenny Loggins I, too, am from Santa Barbara. When I visited Cooperstown I wanted to see two people represented: Eddie Mathews and Ernest Lawrence Thayer. There was nothing there for Mr. Thayer or for 'Casey.' Very disappointing!

Agree with Greeny2 here Joker.
You do not give the gross weight of the aluminum aircraft traveling at what speed.
Also ...anyone familiar with building construction knows that most of the building was not steel H bar..but only in the places needing the strongest support. There was glass... thin steel sheeting..et al.
It is the shape of an object....its speed...its gross weight...etc.
You are over simplifying here Joker.
Now if the whole building was made entirely of Plate mild steel of at least 3/8 thick.. and H Bar...you might have a point. But it was not.
Also I don t think the plane was flying any 500 MPH. I think it was more like 300/400MPH or so....but nonetheless...what was its gross weight ...or gross take off weight??
I am in shipbuilding ..I know the actions of different kinds of steels...stainless too. Also aluminum ..et al.
A wooden arrow is not that strong per se...but launch it from a crossbow or a recurve bow and watch how it penetrates.
If you do not want an arrow to penetrate ..you put a blunt on it. It still delivers a great amount of force off the end of that long shaft. Enough to stun or kill small prey.
That aircraft..even at 300 MPH at that gross weight was a long shaft delivering alot of engery against a relatively thin structure...except where the heavy steel H bar was located. There it has the potential to bend this structure if enough force/speed backed by gross weight is present.

An epidural abscess is a collection of pus (infected material) between the outer covering of the brain and spinal cord and the bones of the skull or spine. The abscess causes swelling in the area.
Abscess - epidural; Spinal abscess
Epidural abscess is a rare disorder caused by infection in the area between the bones of the skull or spine, and the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord (meninges). This infection is called an intracranial epidural abscess if it is inside the skull area, or a spinal epidural abscess if it is found in the spine area. Most are located in the spine.
The spinal infection is usually caused by bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus is most common), but may be caused by fungus. It can be due to other infections in the body (especially a urinary tract infection), or germs that spread through the blood. However, in some patients, no other source of infection is found.
An intracranial epidural abscess (within the skull). Risk factors include:
A spinal epidural abscess may be seen in patients with:
People who inject drugs are also at increased risk.
Spinal epidural abscess:
Intracranial epidural abscess:
Neurological symptoms depend on the location of the abscess and may include:
The health care provider will perform an exam to look for a loss of functions such as movement or sensation.
Tests may include:
The goal of treatment is to cure the infection and reduce the risk of permanent damage. Treatment usually includes antibiotics and surgery. In rare cases, antibiotics alone are used.
Antibiotics are usually given through a vein (IV) for at least 4 - 6 weeks. However, some people may need to take them for a longer time, depending on the type of bacteria and severity of the disease.
Surgery is usually needed to drain or remove the abscess. In addition, surgery is often needed to reduce pressure on the spinal cord or brain, to prevent further loss of function.
Early diagnosis and treatment greatly improve the chance of a good outcome. Once weakness, paralysis , or sensation changes occur, the chances of recovering lost function are reduced. Permanent nervous system damage or death may occur.
Call your health care provider if you have:
An epidural abscess is a medical emergency.
Treatment of certain infections, such as ear infections , sinusitis , and bloodstream infections, may decrease the risk of an epidural abscess. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications.

An oropharynx lesion biopsy is surgery in which tissue from an abnormal growth or mouth sore is removed and checked for problems.
Throat lesion biopsy; Biopsy - mouth or throat; Mouth lesion biopsy
Painkiller or numbing medicine is first applied to the area. For large sores or sores of the throat, general anesthesia may be needed. This means you will be asleep during the procedure.
All or part of the problem area (lesion) is removed. It is sent to the laboratory to check for problems. If a growth in the mouth or throat needs to be removed, the biopsy will be done first. This is followed by the actual removal of the growth.
If a simple painkiller or local numbing medicine is to be used, there is no special preparation. If the test is part of a growth removal or if general anesthesia is used, you will likely be told not to eat for 6 - 8 hours before the test.
You may feel pressure or tugging while the tissue is being removed. After the numbness wears off, the area may be sore for a few days.
This test is done to determine the cause of a sore (lesion) in the throat.
This test is only done when there is an abnormal tissue area.
If there is bleeding, the blood vessels may be sealed (cauterized) with an electric current or laser.
Avoid hot or spicy food after the biopsy.

First: all the disclaimers. (My husband hates when I do this.)
Admittedly, this is my first ever attempt at a blog tutorial, so it's far from perfect. My camera is not stellar and some pictures look worse than I thought they did when I first took them. Hopefully they're good enough you'll at least get the general idea. I'll try to replace them eventually.
I would welcome any feedback - or questions if you need clarification - of any part of the process so that I can make this as helpful as possible to anyone in the future.
With that, here goes.
Quick recap: What is a diaper clutch?
(aka a fabric diaper case. Is" diaper clutch" trademarked?)
A handy (and stylish!) little pouch to compactly store a spare diaper or two and package of wipes, particularly when you're sick of carrying a diaper bag but you're still in need of these critical supplies. This serves a couple of purposes: to keep diapers from getting squashed and wadded-up at the bottom of your purse, and makes it more convenient to hand all the supplies over to your husband at once when you're out in public and a diaper needs changing! :)
Getting started:
(Before you start, I always suggest reading through the whole tutorial to get an idea of what you'll be doing. Cut's down on the mistakes. Also might not be a bad idea to make a practice clutch first before you cut-up your favorite Amy Butler fabric.)
Supplies: 8"x 23" piece of two coordinating fabrics
2" of velcro
From outer fabric cut: one piece 8"x 10" and one piece 8"x 13"
From lining fabric cut: one piece 8"x 10" and one piece 8"x 13" (same as outer fabric)
Pin the 'loop' side of the velcro to the front of the smaller outside fabric.
I measured 3" in and 2 1/2" down. [see picture]
Then pin the hook side of the velcro to the large piece of lining fabric - 3" in and 1" down.Sew on the velcro. (Sew it securely - don't forget to back stitch.)
To create the closure flap, I then stacked the two large coordinating fabrics back to back with the smaller front fabric on top, lining up the bottom edges. Line up your ruler at point *A -the top of the front of the clutch - and move the ruler in one inch on the diagonal to point *B.
Repeat on the other side. (Ignore my pinned velcro.)
(This part of the process is far less critical and there's room for lots of variation here, so feel free to be creative.)
Round of the bottom edges. I used a really high-tech tool called an upside-down-applesauce-cup.
Match-up fronts and backs of outside and lining fabrics, lining-up bottom edges. Sew together front and back of each group around the sides using a 3/8" seam allowance. Clip curves.
Trim the lining fabric closer to the seam.
Turn the lining fabric right-side-out and put it inside the outside fabric pouch so that right-sides are matched-up together.
Pin around the flap and inside edges. Starting from about 1.5" from the right seam stitch the lining and front fabrics together around the top of the front of the bag and around the flap edge.
(You are going to use the area left open for turning the bag right-side out and will later top-stitch it closed.)
This is the trickiest part. When sewing you're going to put the throat of the machine 'inside' the 'inside-out' bag. I used a 3/8" seam. [Sorry about the bad picture!]
This is what the stitching will look like when it's done.
Clip top corners.
Turn both bags right-side out through the opening and tuck the lining inside the outer bag.
Carefully press the top flap.
and top-stitch around the outer edge of the bag and flap, closing the opening used for turning right-side-out.
Voila. A lovely baby gift. Here is mine with a coordinating nursing cover. A long over-due gift for a friend. Finally done! And so is this tutorial.

Mom's wedding rings stolen as she lay dying
Download story podcast
10:45 PM PDT on Wednesday, October 20, 2010
By SARAH BURGE
The Press-Enterprise
After months of cancer treatments and stays in unfamiliar hospitals, wearing her wedding rings gave Danielle Dale some comfort.
"It's like a security blanket," said her husband, Michael, a 43-year-old French Valley resident. "She liked having her rings on her finger."
In April, someone slipped the diamond wedding ring set off the 39-year-old mother's finger as she lay in a hospital bed. She died less than a week later, leaving behind her two little girls. Dale said he wants the rings back for his daughters, now 9 and 5.
The Riverside County Sheriff's Department is investigating, but has no leads.
Six months later, Dale is still stunned and angered by the callousness of the theft.
"I don't understand who would do that," he said. "There's no excuse for it."
Dale said he left his wife's bedside at Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar no earlier than 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 8. The platinum rings -- a 1.25-carat princess-cut solitaire and a band with several small diamonds, together worth about $12,000 -- were still on her finger. When his mother-in-law arrived at the hospital about 9 a.m. the next morning, they were gone.
His wife had been given anti-anxiety drugs and was in no condition to notice what had happened, Dale said.
"She was incoherent," Dale said. "She had no clue that they were missing."
Dale then told hospital workers that the rings were missing, but didn't report it to the sheriff's department. Instead, he filed a claim with the hospital seeking compensation for the missing jewelry.
Months later, when it became clear that the rings were gone and the hospital would not reimburse him, Dale filed a police report.
Officials with Southwest Healthcare System, which owns Inland Valley, did not respond to requests for comment.
According to Southwest's website, officials ask patients not to bring valuables to the hospital. If they do, items should be deposited in the safe in the cashier's office, the website states.
"The hospital does not accept responsibility for items of value unless they are deposited in the safe," the website states. "If you lose something, please notify your nurse immediately, who will report the loss."
Sheriff's Sgt. Patrick Chavez said that, in retrospect, his department's chances of finding the rings might have improved if Dale had gone straight to authorities.
"It's just too bad all the way around how it worked out," he said.
Investigators got a search warrant for hospital records showing which employees and contractors were on duty when the rings disappeared, Chavez said. They also visited pawn shops in case the rings might be there. So far, they have no leads.
The sheer number of hospital employees and contractors who could have come into contact with Dale-- from nurses to janitors -- is part of the problem, Chavez said.
Danielle Dale had been diagnosed with cervical cancer in December 2008, after many months of increasingly troubling symptoms.
When his wife received her diagnosis, Dale said, the doctors were encouraging about treatments.
"We were told, 'You don't have to worry. You're not gonna die,'" Dale recalled.
She underwent a barrage of cancer treatments, including radiation and chemotherapy. She even made repeated trips to St. Louis to take part in a clinical trial.
But the cancer spread and a tumor developed on her spine.
When she went to Inland Valley in April, her family did not realize how dire was her condition. Dale said they didn't expect her to be admitted. She was there for a blood transfusion that could improve her blood counts so she would qualify for another experimental treatment.
Normally, Dale said, he would have removed her jewelry for a lengthy hospital stay, though it made his wife nervous to be without her rings.
"We left her rings on because she was only supposed to be there four or five hours," he said.
After his wife arrived at the hospital, her condition rapidly deteriorated. Dale was away picking up the children from school when he learned his wife was being admitted.
The doctors caring for Danielle Dale discharged her from the hospital April 10, but by then another tumor in the lymph nodes of her neck had grown visibly larger.
Soon she was back in the hospital, this time in the ICU at Rancho Springs Medical Center in Murrieta. The tumor on her neck was so large it impaired her breathing.
Dale signed a do-not-resuscitate order and brought their girls, Samantha and Alexandra, to see their mother one last time.
Danielle Dale died April 14, two weeks shy of their 10th wedding anniversary. She would have turned 40 in July.
Dale took the girls to visit her grave at Olivewood Memorial Park in Riverside for her birthday and Mother's Day. They drew pictures and brought balloons and flowers. The girls were confused, at first, when he said they were going to visit her, Dale said.
They thought he meant in heaven.
On a recent Friday at the French Valley home near Murrieta where the family has lived since 2003, Dale sat in a living room full of doll houses and little-girl toys. His mother-in-law, Patti Doll, who stays with the kids on her days off, sat with the girls, in the kitchen. Every few minutes a blond-haired, blue-eye girl peered around the corner to see what her father was up to.
"They miss Mom, but they're doing good," said Dale, an engineer who works mostly from home. "I keep them busy. Our life is homework and sports."
He wants his wife's rings back so he can put them away for his daughters until they're older.
"Those are the rings that she wore all the time," he said. "I'm not concerned about prosecuting. I'm concerned about getting the rings back."
"I haven't given it up completely," he said. "But I'm realistic."
Authorities ask anyone with information about the rings to call Investigator Robert Cornett at the sheriff's Lake Elsinore station at 951-245-3357.

Testicular self-exam is an examination of the testicles that you do on yourself.
The testicles (also called the testes) are the male reproductive organs that produce sperm and the hormone testosterone. They are located in the scrotum under the penis.
You can do this test during or after a shower. This way, the scrotal skin is warm and relaxed. It is best to do the test while standing.
A testicular self-exam may be done to check for testicular cancer .
Testicles have blood vessels and other structures that can make the exam confusing. If you notice any lumps or changes in a testicle, contact your health care provider right away.
Doctors may recommend that you do a testicular self-exam every month if you have any of the following risk factors:
Some, but not all expert organizations, recommend self-exam if you are a teenager or young adult (to about 35 years old). It is not clear that performing this exam when you have no symptoms would decrease the risk of dying from testicular cancer.
Each testicle should feel firm, but not rock hard. One testicle may be lower or slightly larger than the other.
Talk to your health care provider if you have questions.
If you find a small, hard lump (like a pea), have an enlarged testicle, or notice any other differences that do not seem normal, see your health care provider right away.
Call your health care provider if:
Sudden, severe (acute) pain in the scrotum or testicle that lasts for more than a few minutes is an emergency. If you have this type of pain, seek medical attention right away.
A lump in the testicle is often the first sign of testicular cancer. If you find a lump, see a health care provider right away. Most testicular cancers are very treatable. Keep in mind that some cases of testicular cancer do not show symptoms until they reach an advanced stage.

American-born artist Ben Jones' work investigates new methods of pictorial storytelling in the digital age. An interdisciplinary artist working in video, sculpture, painting, light painting and drawing, his artworks and installations evoke environments and themes both familiar and bizarre.
Born in 1943 at Fort Worth's Harris Hospital, Vernon Fisher is one of Texas's most internationally recognized artists. He has lived and worked in Fort Worth since 1977. Fisher received a BA in English literature from Hardin-Simmons University in 1967 and an MFA from the University of Illinois in 1969. Influenced by artists such as Edward Ruscha and John Baldessari, Fisher constructs visual narratives, combining images and language in a wide range of media.
Erik Parker has described his work as "fragmented samples of our culture." A Texas native, Parker is known for his figurative paintings of disembodied, twisted heads that ooze vivid color and recede into themselves as much as they explode outwardly into the space around them.
Since Ruscha's first road trip from Oklahoma City to Los Angeles in 1956, the artist has continued to engage the images he has encountered along the roads of the western United States. This multimedia presentation features some of his most iconic paintings, including two large-scale works from the 1960s, Standard Station, Amarillo, Texas (1963) and Standard Station with Ten-Cent Western Being Torn in Half (1964). The exhibition marks the first time these two paintings will be reunited in over three decades.
Robert Lazzarini is best known for his sculptures of common objects in which detailed craftsmanship is combined with precise illusionistic distortion. Scaled to the size of the original object and using the same materials, Lazzarini creates versions of guns, knives, brass knuckles, chairs, telephones, telephone booths, and skulls, among other things. Factuality is a theme that runs throughout his imagery, as is visual perception and how that perception is constructed in both the mind of the viewer and in the physical world.
Sculptor Teresita Fernández creates work in response to nature. Reminiscent of clouds, rainstorms, waterfalls, and stars in the night sky, Fernández's mercurial forms shimmer, float, and undulate before our eyes. The artist is interested in generating an intimate experience with each of her installations. As she has put it, "What I'm after is a lingering, ephemeral engagement. Slow, quiet, and with enough depth kinesthetically to be recalled by the viewer after the work is no longer in front of them."
Richard Diebenkorn: The Ocean Park Series is the most comprehensive show to date of Diebenkorn's most celebrated works. Coorganized by Orange County Museum of Art in Newport Beach, California, and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, the exhibition is curated by OCMA curator Sarah C. Bancroft.
Forget your stodgy memories of high school Shakespeare class: In his visionary directorial debut, Ralph Fiennes (who also plays the title character) transforms the Bard's tale of a doomed Roman general into a pulse-pounding, modern-day action thriller, complete with automatic weapons and riot gear.
Sounds like a downer, but in the deft hands of director Jonathan Levine and screenwriter Will Reiser, who based the story on personal experience, 50/50 proves spirited, ribald and tender—an outrageously funny comedy that quietly breaks your heart.
The Graduate Student Lectureship Program provides local art and art history graduate students the opportunity to research and present public lectures on works on view at the Modern. These focused gallery talks discuss artworks within a thematic framework designed to provide new insights on familiar pieces. After close observation, rigorous research, and original analysis, students design an interactive tour that fosters discussion with visitors in the galleries.

The "conundrum", or puzzle, of this wine is in guessing which grapes make up the blend; a combination that includes Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Muscat Canelli, Semillon and Viognier. Conundrum is a true California wine, with grapes sourced from Napa, Monterey, Santa Barbara and Tulare counties. Winemaker Jon Bolta began to craft the style for Conundrum in 1988.
The twist cap closure protects the fine aromas and flavors of this distinctive blend, allowing the bottle to be easily re-closed and refrigerated. The airtight cap also eliminates the possibility of cork taint.
Conundrum is owned by the Wagner family of Caymus Vineyards, but stands on its own as a separate brand. The Conundrum winery in Monterey County is close to the sources for most of the grape varietals that make up the wine. View all Conundrum Wines
About Other California
View a map of Other California wineriesCalifornia has nearly 100 American Viticulture Areas (AVAs) and accounts for almost 90% of wine production in the United States. In our section of Other California, we include wines from smaller AVAs as well as wines from the California AVA. Here are a few smaller AVAs you may see on the label:
Livermore Valley AVA
, located right outside of San Francisco and home to wineries such as Wente.Lodi County AVA
, an AVA further east of San Francisco and known for its excellent, old-vine Zinfandels.San Francisco Bay AVA
, a sprawling AVA that covers Contra Costa, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties, to name a few. Wine that holds only the California AVA is typically a wine that includes grapes from a number of different AVAs, which leads to the general labeling of the wine as California. This does not denote the quality of the wine, only the diversity of where the grapes originate.About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

(KMOV) – A St. Louis man was sentenced to 10 years in prison for attempting to rape a girl inside a Barnhart home in 2011.
Michael Derickson, 68, also received four years for attempted statutory rape of the girl, who was younger than 17. Both sentences will be served concurrently, according to court documents.
Authorities said Derickson entered the victim's home in March 2011. He then pushed her down on a count and attempted to rape her, according to court documents.
He was later arrested and pleaded guilty to the charges. He was sentenced Jan. 10.

Hello from Saginaw, Michigan!
Hello out there! My name is Nancy, and for those of you wondering, yes, my screen name comes from the Earth Children's series of books...she is a cool lady in that book! I have scrapped since my youngest child was 2, and he's almost 10 now. I started digi scrapping early fall of 2010 to make a journaling challenge project easier, and I instantly was hooked! My style has come a long way since those early days of digi scrapping, and continues to change as I try new things. Looking forward to getting to know people here!

"great product, great price" (E13647)
"Great kits for the price. Material quality is good, numbers look like they'll stay on for a long time, they come out of the wash in good shape. Service from Epic Sports was great. The size charts look to be about right for the kids as well. I ordered youth S, M, L and they fit the kids as expected - both shirts and shorts - from what the parents ordered. I also ordered some adult XL but these seemed to be pretty wide (although the right length for a XL)." (E23104)

Rated 5 out of 5 by ShoppingAddict Decent
Almost smells like 360 Red for men but not quite. Platinum Label has it's twist because the bamboo does kick in making it different from 360 Red. It's decent and it will make you smell fresh, and clean.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Retired but Confident The classic sent for morning and night.
Tried a sample [...] WOW! When it was gone, ordered it for myself. I have tried numerous scents over the years, but have never found anything that matched my personality and chemistry so perfectly. [...] Superb blend of oils to give a man a relaxed, yet confident scent to last all day....and my wife loves it, also. The containaer is a little heavy and cumbersome when you are in a last minute rush. I will buy again.

Beyond the wind tunnel
We went beyond the wind tunnel to make the world's fastest bike even faster. We factored in real-world conditions, tested on actual courses, and again left the competition behind.
KVF tube shape
Kammtail Virtual Foil is the most aerodynamic tube shape ever designed for a bicycle. And now it's even faster, with less frontal area and reduced drag at all yaw angles.
Ultra-clean front end
Incredibly svelte! Fully integrated handlebar with hidden gear shift and brake cables presents 30% less surface to the wind. The lightest, cleanest, most aero front end ever.
Invisible brakes
Speed Concept is the first bike with front and rear brakes built directly into the fuselage. This innovative setup results in less drag and cleaner lines.
The fastest fit
Nothing fits like Speed Concept, thanks to the best fit window in the industry. You'll feel the difference, from the bike leg through to the finish line.
Integrated Speed Storage
Bontrager integrated Speed Storage products are so well fitted to the Speed Concept frame that you and your bike are actually more aerodynamic with them than without.
Full-foil fork
We tested every shape possible in the wind tunnel and on the course in pursuit of this no-holds-barred full-foil aero fork.
Speed Concept 9.9
Contact your local Trek dealer for model availability details.
