Fighting Back: Wheel Thefts Spike in North Austin
Updated: Friday, February 8 2013, 09:42 PM CST
Since December, 29 cars In North Austin have had their tires ripped off, according to police.
The parking garage at the Domain was hit early Tuesday morning. Police say a Mazda hatchback had its tires and rims stolen. The only thing left behind was the lug nuts and the car on cinder blocks.
Detective Dustin Lee says they have not been able to catch the criminals.
"They can dust the wheel well to determine if there are any fingerprints there," Lee said.
He tells us there is no trend to what types of wheels are being taken. Here are some cars that have had their wheels stolen: Nissan Altima, GMC Yukon, Toyota Hylander, Nissan 350Z, BMW, Infiniti, Mazda, Honda CRV.
Lee says these thieves are stealing from whatever is easiest.
Hub Cap Annie is a business that specializes in wheels. Manager Tim Sanner says the market is hot for used rims and tires.
"We sell this one used for $350 and it runs new about $750 from Ford," Sannar said.
He demonstrated how fast two people can take off all four tires on a Toyota Solara. It took 45 seconds.
Police say the victim's property is ending up on Craigslist or sold on the street.
Sannar says they buy and sell wheels. He tells us he fights back against criminals by taking down every person's information and a description of what they sell.
As for car owners, Sannar suggests buying a specialized key for your wheels. The cost is about $25.
"Say all five lug nuts on each wheel will have one different key," Sanner said.

Another study finds no increase in extreme weather events - which are now being touted as the main threat from AGW*
More nonsense dressed up as an informative post.
You're having a good day, Four. This one plus the Dr Ball one. Any more?
* And extreme weather events are 'now being touted' by many of "the convinced", 'as the main threat from AGW'. I think "now" is off the mark though, because "extreme weather events" have been the main selling point for convincing the public of AGW for twenty years or more, especially by the politically motivated press. (and if AGW as sold is true, rightly so)
What is this "nonsense", you so readily identify? Personally I would like to see more of this sort of nonsense. I can only assume that you refer to the paper in the link as nonsense? If so, which part do you find nonsense?
Dave, I thought I made it quite clear by highlighting in bold the part with which I disagreed. For the avoidance of doubt, it was not the paper it was Four's assertion that extreme weather events were being put forward as the main threat. Clearly that is nonsense - it is indeed A threat but as Tom says, the main one is global temperature increases and associated sea level rise.
Your post clarifies your position by accepting that there is a threat from extreme weather events, - so clearly your use of the dismissive word "nonsense", is inappropriate - its just a matter of disagreement as to the apportioning of values to the varying threats posed by extreme AGW.
When Four said "Another study finds no increase in extreme weather events........" that was interesting. When he said "....... which are now being touted as the main threat from AGW" your dismissal of this was pedantic. If you asked Joe Public what the main threat was, he would most likely say "extreme weather events".
Edited by user 30 May 2012 07:51:13(UTC) | Reason: Not specified
I'm gonna have to chuck my 4 happen'eth in here.
I do not think anybody believes that the AGW driver in any way challenges 'natural' drivers atm? (except in the Arctic?) but it is a driver that is a constant pressure and that pressure grows over time. Natural drivers wax and wane and so either augment or detract from the AGW driver over their phase. They either combine (and cancel) or combine (and augment) or appear as singles but all along you now need to add in the AGW forcing.
Some folk pooh pooh the notion of 'tipping points' but I find them very difficult to dismiss. Take the Arctic for e.g. If we have warm phase on warm phase plus the AGW Driver we could find a massive collapse event occurring in Greenland say (or massive methane release off Siberia). Even when the naturals subside the impacts of that warm forcing (above and beyond what pure natural could muster) remains and feeds back into the system (be it sea level hike/ocean current impacts or ,for the methane, temp hikes due to GHG forcing) making it ever easier to find disruption outside of pure 'natural further down the line.
The last 'El -Nino' was nothing special but due to the global temp hikes since the 'super' Nino of 98' this moderate Nino pushed temps to near those achieved by the super of 98'. The next El-Nino will surely punch through this record global temp without much hassle? And if we were to have another 'Super Nino'?
The slow 'drip drip' melting of the Arctic ice mass allowed for the mass loss we saw in 07' (25% higher than ever recorded) Did we recover any mass since that time? What will happen when we see the next 'perfect storm' synoptic (3 to 13yrs away)? if we think ice loss is now messing in global circulation then what will such an event will lead to in global circulation?
The changes in the Arctic have been a mixture of natural and AGW but the slow 'drip,drip' of AGW wins out due to it's constant presence even amid negative natural phases. The same with Global temps. Cold phases used to show but I would very much suspect that the past 13 years should have been a cooling phase (akin to the 60's/early 70's?) but the presence of the upward trend has effectively offset this 'cooling' leaving what we have seen. Should I be proven correct then what will the next 'warm phase' be like? normal or warmer than we have ever seen before (in our recorded history)?
We are now at a point to test the 'tipping point' theory for real. I feel we have already seen the first in the Arctic sea ice with ice mass tripping over the 'tipping point' in the mid 80's. One of the next ones we may see will be Methane loss over the Arctic. This will occur either during our next global 'warm phase' with permafrost melt ponds putting significant increases in methane output into the atmosphere as to lead to a sudden global warming leading to continued releases and further warming negating 'natural negative temp forcings' leaving only warming, the other would be massive sudden releases of hydrate from the offshore submerged permafrosts off Siberia. We must be mindful that Arctic methane releases now equals the combined outputs from all the worlds oceans.
To recap, AGW is small but constant and growing. eventually it will outweigh any 'natural cold drivers' and this will be hastened by it combining with 'natural warm drivers'.
No body thinks that AGW equates to CO2 alone. If you look at land use changes across the tropical zone you can see the scale of 'man made' changes occurring there. in my school days (1970's) we were campaigning to 'save the Rainforest's' but the destruction there continues apace. If you look at the local impact on weather/climate across a Forrest and a pampas it does not take much to expand this into a regional then global impact on weather/climate.
When we look at the sub Saharan increase in desert due to mans unsustainable agriculture there over the same period we see another 'local' climate change. How many 'local' climate changes equates to a global change?
Nature used to have a kind of ad hoc balance. Now it has had this balance impacted by changes that are far faster and extensive than She can soak up and cope with. The Carbon reserves that we have releases are on top and above of the 'natural carbon cycle ' as was must throw this system off balance? If we believe the geological record then such releases by similar deposits being subducted at plate margins ( and the carbon released in volcanic activity) have lead to global climate change of a scale similar to those predicted by most of the leading authorities studying AGW.
Hodgson has avoided dropping another clanger by not replacing Barry with Henderson. I rate Jagielka - a no-nonsense, all-action defender who can play the DM role.
Watch him now have a stinker of a tournament!
lol. well unlikely really - he's not one of those players who really has a 'stinker'. he is a consistent player and a welcome addition - i agree a much better choice than henderson.
What an excellent post, I've been trying to say that for 10 years a bit at a time. I tend to disagree about the methane tipping point being near but I do agree with the rest.
Our lowest official England support travelling to Ukraine/Poland just 3,000 which is deffo due to fears of what's instore at the other end, forget the economic crisis England Fans would be there, I'd imagine 500 of that 3,000 are the hardcore.
Last week I heard France had only sold 28 tickets YES 28 not 28,000.
Amazing how these 2 Countries known for football violence on a widescale get the oppertunity to host such a tournament.
I remember watching Ross Kemp on Gangs and he travelled to Poland, Some of the scenes were unbelievable, makes our old 70s & 80s Hooligans look tame, or a Chelsea v Spuds Meet
A work colleague of mine is off to the Championships , he is on a bus from S****horpe driving across to the tournament, he said they aren't worried about the Poles, whats interesting is that he told me there are more going that the number you have quoted, I will ask him tomorrow about the numbers.
As for some of the scenes seen , have to say I went up and down the UK in the late 80's and saw some horrendous scenes , worse than what has been shown
Must be Unofficial Members then or those going without buying tickets from the FA. The total I have quoted is FA Sales.
It's the first time so close to a Tournament that I can login to the FA site and Buy Tickets for a Euro Game, Can actually buy a England v Ukraine one on the 11th June, Now as that's the Host Nation and against Ukraine that tells it's own story.
And at present England v France is not sold out, now on the day it will be but they won't be England and France fans
Edited by user 30 May 2012 09:58:07(UTC) | Reason: Not specified
Oh no, they are official members and get tickets from the FA, I will ask him when I get in to work, not saying you are wrong but im sure he said sales were good
Do you listen to Talksport? They were talking about it Yesterday, very unusual as tickets would be sold out long before the start of any Championships I know. Like I say I can buy tickets today if I wanted which is amazing tbh.
But also it was in the Papers few weeks back:-
Edited by user 30 May 2012 10:56:00(UTC) | Reason: Not specified
Article in The Telegraph talking about this matter quotes The FA as saying 5000 official fans plus unknown numbers making own arrangements.
**Wrong again. There are lots of instances where it has been argued by 'the convinced' that more extreme weather is to be expected from AGW - and discussed many times in this forum, where I and others have said that more extremes of weather also, goes with a more meridional jetstream. Check out your climate history. More extremes of weather, because of AGW, has been pushed by the political wing of 'the convinced' to a large extent - this is not my construct. I have just responded as Four and others have done. This is not to say that there isn't, with AGW, more energy in the system - just that it's the greater contrast or difference in air mass characteristics that leads to more extreme weather and a more meridional jetstream gives much more opportunity for this to happen. Higher temperatures are a serious threat, but a part of the picture where other drivers that lead to more extreme weather events, cannot be ignored.
*** As associated with sea level rise - yes. **** Agreed - I have just said as much.
With regard to your last 'fact' - yes again, but on the major scale, the IPCC forecasts are for the polar regions to warm most which means overall less temperature contrasts and therefore, in my book, less cyclogenesis. Warming in itself will mean changes in circulation patterns and shifts in climate zones as well as sea level rise.
You mention Four seeking out bias pieces: The piece Four mentioned was the research - this wasn't bias was it? It's a pity but typical, that you choose to ignore the paper, which was the essence of his post - here - and concentrate on a loose detail of his combative post.
I'll put aside, atm, your more personal innuendos.
Whatever, Dave.
You stick with your ill-conceived personal view of the climate system and I'll stick with the core science rather than the plethora of mostly denialist and sceptic blogs.
As Tom has said often enough, the scientific papers are what matter - not the sceptics' often selective quoting and misrepresentation of those papers.
As regards your continued failure to recognise my point, let's try again. I'll try to keep the point simple for you, in the hope that you might understand.
Four's post said:
Another study finds no increase in extreme weather events - which are now being touted as the main threat from AGW
Whereas the paper to which he referred makes it clear that the researchers were investigating evidence of increase climate variability. Not only that, but their work was focussed on "south central Europe". Certainly the paper makes no reference to increased extreme weather events.
Furthermore their work covered a period of between 180 and 250 years. Now I may be wrong here but would you expect to see a clear signal for an AGW-induced greater extent of climate variability in this period?
So, you would seem to have got this wrong - not for the first time.
Henderson is the best we have is he?
Shows how little talent we have coming through IMO
I know I'm in the minority but they could call dickie henderson up (yes i know he's dead ) and I'll still support my country.
Hmmm yes. Obviously that is Lampards International career over, there was a lot of talk about the partnership with Gerrard but nothing much came of it.
Downing struggles to cross a road let alone that white thing he plays with. Carroll has his Caravans to tow , it really is a lack lustre squad,,,,,,BUT hey that is what might suit Roy Boy
What little interest I had in this squad disappeared the other night when I read that Green was playing in goal.

Eagan City Council Says Yes to Caponi Art Park Purchase
On Tuesday, the council unanimously agreed to enter into a joint purchase agreement with Dakota County to buy 27.12 acres of the park. The decision ensures the entirety of the park will remain intact and preserved.
Follow Eagan Patch on Twitter | Like us on Facebook | Sign up for our daily newsletter | Blog for us A question that has loomed over Caponi Art Park for decades was finally resolved on Tuesday night, when the Eagan City Council approved a joint purchase agreement that will preserve the entirety of the park and its legacy for years to come. The council voted unanimously to purchase 27.12 acres of the 57-acre park for $800,000—a cost that will be split equally by Dakota County and the city. Eagan already owns the remaining acreage, which was purchased in 2005. Tuesday's decision means that park proponents and 91-year-old park founder Tony Caponi can rest easy. The final closing date for the purchase must occur on or before Dec. 31, 2014. …

'Craigslist Killing' Sentencing for Brogan Rafferty Rescheduled
The Stow teen was originally scheduled to be sentenced Monday morning after a jury found him guilty of several charges, including aggravated murder, last week.
After waiting a little more than an hour in Judge Lynne Callahan's courtroom Monday morning, the sentencing for Brogan Rafferty was delayed until Friday at 1:30 p.m. Rafferty was found guilty by a 12-person jury last week of nine counts of aggravated murder and more for his involvement in the death of three and injuring a fourth after the men were lured to a farm in Noble County with a bogus job ad on Craigslist. Rafferty's attorney, John Alexander, said he could not comment further Monday morning. The 17-year-old former Stow-Munroe Falls High School student faces life in prison without chance of parole if convicted of aggravated murder in the shooting deaths of the men last year. Rafferty will not face the death penalty because he is a …

The result is well worth a look.

In fact, in 1977, one of his poster designs was voted best poster of the year. Challenger™, his first digital typeface draws on his more than 40 years of experience as a freelance graphic designer and calligrapher.
Challenger is a versatile font and is particularly effective in contexts in which the purpose is to put across a message very directly and assertively, while retaining a dignified style - in advertisement texts, on packaging, invitations and greetings cards and the like. It is dynamic without being overbearing, individual without being quirky.

Linotype's association with Arabic type can be traced all the way back to the beginning of the 20th century, when it was the first to introduce typecasting machines for creating Arabic metal type; to this day, Linotype specialises in solutions for multilingual typography. Designed by Nadine Chahine and Prof. Hermann Zapf, Palatino® Sans Arabic is part of that commitment to international typography. While this new sans maintains classical proportions, its modulation is softer, less pronounced, making for a friendly, approachable, less formal face that looks equally at home in everything from packaging design to books. It's a contemporary interpretation of the classical Naskh style, and strikes a good balance between the formal and informal.
The large Palatino Sans family has always been a popular choice for typographers and designers. Just the right balance between contemporary and classic, elegant proportions, and carefully crafted letterforms. Now, with the addition of Palatino Sans Arabic, the family feels complete. Whether you're looking for a compliment to other Arabic typefaces, or you're just looking for a fresh, modern and legible Arabic type for texts and display, then Palatino Sans Arabic is for you.

The result is a warm, approachable, and very legible typeface that is never static and staid, but rather invites an attentive, reading eye.

Saratoga County man to lead state's new Gaming Commission
SARATOGA SPRINGS — A Saratoga County man will lead the newly formed state Gaming Commission charged with regulating all New York racing and gaming activities.
Rob Williams of Clifton Park is currently director of the state Lottery Division, which is merging with the state Racing and Wagering Board to form the new seven-member Gaming Commission effective Feb. 1.
Williams will be the new agency's acting director, a Racing and Wagering Board official said Wednesday.
Williams also chairs a Franchise Oversight Board that monitors New York Racing Association's business activities and has held many racing and gaming-related posts in state government.
Several years ago, he was executive director of a state Committee on the Future of Racing charged with recommending a firm to run New York's thoroughbred racetracks, including Saratoga Race Course.
Until now, the Lottery Division regulated the state's nine racetrack casinos and all Lottery games, while the racing board oversaw racetrack rules and regulations.
However, Gov. Andrew Cuomo wanted to streamline functions by merging the two bodies into one agency, headquartered at the current Lottery building in downtown Schenectady.
The newly formed commission is extremely important to Saratoga County because Cuomo wants the agency to decide where seven Las Vegas-style casinos will be located if such gaming is approved in New York.
The Blood-Horse Magazine reported Tuesday that Cuomo has already decided on two of his five choices for the seven-member Gaming Commission. They are John Poklemba, a lawyer who was the state's top criminal justice official during former Gov. Mario Cuomo's administration, and Todd Snyder, executive vice chairman of North American Global Financial Advisory, who brings a considerable financial background to the agency, something that will be needed if the Gaming Commission runs the casino selection process, Blood-Horse reported.
Nominees must be confirmed by the state Senate. Continued...
As acting director, Williams has a full-time salaried position. Gaming Commission appointees are paid a nominal monthly fee.
The Senate and Assembly will appoint one member each to the new commission. Those selections aren't yet known.
James Featherstonhaugh, part owner of Saratoga Casino & Raceway, praised Williams' selection as Gaming Commission leader.
"Whatever happens, there will be a sense of continuity going forward," he said.
Featherstonhaugh also chairs an association of racetrack owners that's lobbying to have casinos kept at racing venues. There's a concern that a free-standing, full-blown casino in the Catskills or perhaps Lake George would take business away from existing racetrack casinos.
Gary Greenberg is a minority owner of Vernon Downs Casino & Hotel, near Utica.
"It's a good start," he said of Cuomo's picks for the Gaming Commission. "Hopefully, the commission members will be objective and decide for themselves if racinos are the right locations for full casinos. I hope the commission has open meetings and holds public hearings all across this state on locations for full casinos."
Williams, an attorney, was named Franchise Board chairman last fall. Previously, he was counsel to the state Racing and Wagering Board and to the governor's office as well.

text: Technical Abstract: Classical pesticide extraction and quantification in environmental samples are often time consuming and require expensive analytical instruments. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) have recently been shown to be a rapid and inexpensive screening tool for pesticide detections. A recently developed magnetic-based ELISA for the herbicide metribuzin [4-amino-6-1(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one] wa evaluated for its reproducibility, accuracy, and comparability to results from a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) technique. Replicated metribuzin determination in stream water showed good daily reproducibility (CV <10%) except at low concentrations (<0.69 ug/L). The assay correlated well (r=0.954) with GC/MS results. Predicted accuracy by the metribuzin assay was tested in two matrices (stream and deionized water). Deionized water exhibited excellent agreement between the theoretical and predicted metribuzin levels indicating a high degree of accuracy. Predicted metribuzin concentrations were slightly elevated compared to theoretical concentrations in stream samples; however, no significant difference (p <0.05) was found between the two sample matrices. Overall, the assay illustrated the ability to efficiently and accurately predict concentrations of metribuzin and demonstrated the utility of the ELISA technique as a screening tool for the determination of metribuzin in stream samples.

Any idea how big the circumference is on a size 8? Simran R: I got a size 6.5. And the foot part fits me. But the calf part is a little big. So if you have bigger calves you'll be fine with a size 8.

I Love Christmas Day – By: Elainee
I love Christmas day a new song by a new country and classical singer Elainee.
Elainee's Biography
Elainee worked with an esteemed vocal coach who also mentored Deborah Harry of Blondie to develop her unique song stylings. Instead, Elainee dropped out of the pop music scene and took a break from singing and songwriting to raise her children. But she is back now and bringing her evocative country classical style to an original Christmas music tune that will be available for mp3 download on Amazon:
"I Love Christmas Day"
Song & Lyrics by Elainee and Music by: WildHorse
Elainee is forging a connectivity between art and music. Elainee was a bit of a naughty 80′s girl too, she was born in Essex after all and anyone who has been following the reality show The Only Way is Essex (better known as TOWIE) knows that Essex girls are unabashedly sexy, fun and wild. Elainee now calls London, England her home and is busy with plans to re-launch her singing career. She is writing or co-writing more songs which will be featured as mp3 releases online through the Music Factory record label.
Elainee feels that country music is the perfect medium for personalized expression of love, loss, hope and heartache. Elainee composes most of her original songs on guitar before the songs go to production. Discover Elainee now so you can say you knew her before her music goes viral!

Some young Arkansans are preparing themselves to help out in case a disaster strikes.
The Central Arkansas Chapter Youth Council functions like a miniature American Red Cross chapter in schools and neighborhoods.
Seventeen members of the council received training from the American Red Cross today on CPR, disaster services, plus teambuilding and leadership.
"In order to come together as a council we have to get to know each other, about our interests. So when the school year starts and we have different projects, we can work together better," says Krystal Barker, the Youth Council`s co-chair.
The students can use the skills they learn this week to help other students stay safe, prevent violence, and volunteer with their local Red Cross chapters.

Should fasting the six days of Shawwaal be done immediately after the day of 'Eed?
Question: Is the fasting of the six days (of Shawwaal) a must after the month of Ramadaan immediately after the day of 'Eed, or is it permissible (to do so) after 'Eed by (a number of) days in the month of Shawwaal or not?
Response: It is not a must for him to fast immediately after 'Eed al-fitr, rather it is permissible to begin fasting after 'Eed by a day or (a number of) days. And (also) to fast them continuously or intermittently in the month of Shawwaal according to that which is easy for him. And the issue is quite open in this matter, and it is not obligatory, rather it is a sunnah.
And with Allaah lies all the success, and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.

Duchess of Montrose train set EDP12 (Hornby Dublo) |
location: |
Arch Four , Area 38 Hornby Wall (display) |
Hornby Dublo EDP12 passenger train set, including a green LMS 4-6-2 "Duchess of Montrose" Duchess Class locomotive, running number 46232 (built as 6232).
The set also includes two dark red carriages with grey roofs, numbers M 4193 and M26143, and track. The train set has its original box, with the set's details on a large yellow rounded-cornered sticker.
The original loco
The Duchess of Montrose ran from 1938, and was designed by W.A. Stanier. It was part of the "third set" of the first fifteen Coronation/Duchess locos ordered (five in streamlined blue, five in streamlined red, and these five conventional-looking, unstreamlined locos, 6230-6234).
Further batches of the Coronation/Duchess class were built, both in streamlined red and in the unstreamlined "Duchess" form. All of the streamliners in this class were eventually converted to this more conventional configuration.

I think that I finally got this right!
It's the full song, complete with an F bomb in the middle!
Nice one! Thanks for putting this up.
Excellent video. Love the f-bomb in there. Acutally have never heard him do that in all of the shows i have been too.
Btw - the crowd looks WAY more into it than in Windsor.
The crowd was way excited. It was good energy from the beginning, but once the ball dropped, all of the comps and geezers left... and everyone went even more bonkers. The security allowed us to stand for the encore (which I believe it the right thing to do!!!) and they even let us move up to the front. It's amazing to see how the band responded to the energy. I'm so glad that we were allowed to show our enthusiasm! (We were not allowed to stand at all during any part of the Philly show)
The F-bomb... I'm not a big fan of artists who throw it around, but it was really fun to hear! It added just enough spice and threw us off of our expectations. Plus, the crowd was all over 21, so no chance of kids being there.
hey don't you know the eneregy was because we were there??!! hah!!!
as I said before...............I didn't notice any one leaving although cannot think I ever looked back the entire eve.....and while AC is an absolute pit I do think that apart from the comps it contributed to the energy as everyone that went to that gig had to travel there/deal with the hotel situation etc so all real fans..........the enrgy around us was absolutely fantastic the whole eve - one of the best crowds I have ever experienced........
I didn't notice any security at all the entire night.........the only one I needed to worry about was coty by my side admoinishing me if I got up at the wrong time or started crooning a bit out of turn!!
Hello All-
First of all, Thank You for posting this video. This is one of my (and my wife's) favorite songs.
I am new to the boards so please take it easy on the newbie..
Is there somewhere on here where I can find the setlist to this show (or any past shows)??
Thanks again,

Gorgeous! Great framing.
Gorgeous! Great framing.
What a breathtaking scenery! God's creation is really indescribsble.
Love it!
I could go for that view right about now!
Beautiful photo. The sunset is so captivating. Thanks for the share!
oooh my goood! I need it!!
What's with sunsets that they are always able to leave us speechless? I'm never tired of photographing sunsets and sunrises (when I get up in time!) everywhere I am.
So beautiful and peaceful!
Wow… this is so lovely it almost seems fake!
wow ! really image i like it
Great Picture! It make me want to0 be there! Thanks for sharing!
Looks terrible. Not!
It never stops to amaze me at how many nice places there are. Ive got a few photos like yours, sunsetish, but I think yours must have been taken in a cave.
Beautiful pic from Phuket. Where was it taken? I have been to Phuket quite a few times now. It's lovely once you get away from Phuket town, Karon, Pa Tong and Laguna beaches and find some quieter spots.
NO words to describe this pic.
Amazingly beautiful. Must be such a wonderful thing to laze on the beach and get to have views like these!!
Sea Kayaking in Thailand is loads of fun. I imagine that you were on a tour and had a driver for this shot? I've kayaked both in a tour group and solo, I definitely wouldn't want to be out there at sunset by myself, unless you are really familiar with the area.

Disco act's crowd disappoints, but Corn Palace aims for future success
The '70s disco band Boogie Wonderland performed Saturday at the Corn Palace for 387 people.By: Anna Jauhola, The Daily Republic
Not every event at the Corn Palace draws thousands of screaming fans, but Corn Palace Director Mark Schilling hopes Boogie Wonderland will eventually be one of those shows.
The '70s disco band performed Saturday at the Corn Palace for 387 people. The goal was 500, but the rainy weather and chilly temperatures also played a role in the size of the crowd, Schilling said.
"The crowd numbers weren't as large as what we would have liked, but we knew going in it's got to be something we're going to have to build off of," he said.
The '80s band Hairball had a similar showing when it first played in Mitchell a few years ago. Now that group packs the Palace with at least 2,000 fans. Schilling is hopeful Boogie Wonderland will become a larger, more popular show, following in the dance steps of Hairball.
"It's hard to market an unknown show," he said.
Boogie Wonderland is part of a busier schedule, designed by Schilling and the Corn Palace Committee to bring more activities to the city-owned arena that aren't necessarily offered elsewhere in town or the region. Since the annual Corn Palace Festival closed in September, the Palace has hosted various events, including volleyball matches, a bull-riding event and a September concert by country singers Billy Currington and Jake Owen.
"We've heard from the public they need more to do," Schilling said. "We see people wanting to do more with their entertainment dollars and this gives them more opportunities to do things here in Mitchell."
Boogie Wonderland is based in the Twin Cities and is working to branch out regionally, Schilling said. Perhaps one reason the show didn't draw as many people is due to the disco theme. He said the group performed songs from the '70s and the early '80s, including "Dancing Queen," "Funkytown," "Celebration," "We Should Be Dancing" and "December '63."
The show brought in slightly less than $5,000 in ticket sales and it cost $5,000 to hire Boogie Wonderland. So, with concessions sales, Schilling figures the Corn Palace will about break even.
"We've had several of these where it's almost like a wash, with a couple of hundred dollars either way," he said. "At the same time, we're looking at the next show with the Oak Ridge Boys. If all things hold true with where ticket sales are at now, we're in the black already for that show."
So far, the Palace has sold 1,100 tickets to the Oak Ridge Boys, the 1970s and '80s country stars who will play the venue Dec. 20. Schilling hopes ticket sales will push 2,000. He said the Palace capacity is about 2,800, depending on set-up, and he hopes the Oak Ridge Boys fill most of the seats.
"It is just a great show to land for Christmas, even when we could be dealing with unknowns like the weather," Schilling said.

Vermont Lawyer Appeals Prosecutor Challenge Ruling
A St. Johnsbury attorney is appealing a decision by a Vermont judge who refused to dismiss criminal charges against a man accused of driving over seven police cruisers with a giant farm tractor because of the way the prosecutor in the case was appointed.
In a five-page decision issued Friday, Orleans County Superior Court Judge Howard VanBenthuysen dismissed the motion by attorney David Sleigh.
Sleigh argued the charges should be dismissed in about 20 cases, including that of Roger Pion, because Orleans County State's Attorney Alan Franklin was appointed to a full-term after his predecessor resigned to take a job in the administration of Governor Peter Shumlin. Sleigh argued the governor should have called a special election.
Sleigh immediately filed an appeal in the case.
