Swatting in Hays

Last week, the Hays Police Department and the Ellis County Sheriff's Office were exposed to a first in this area. The law enforcement personnel, like the residents of a home on Pine Street, were victims of a "swatting" incident.
A 9-1-1 call that appeared to originate from the house reported seven armed individuals had invaded the home and already had struck the father on the head. The caller claimed to be a child who lived there.
After responding appropriately with multiple officers and deputies, establishing a perimeter around the house and then contacting the occupants, it turned out nothing of the kind was taking place. The only thing that actually had happened in reality was the 9-1-1 call being placed -- and even that had been spoofed.
"At this time, we believe this incident is what's called a swatting incident," said Hays Police Chief Don Scheibler.
Swatting is a term the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been using and investigating since at least 2008. Swatting happens when an individual uses technology to make it appear an emergency call is coming from somebody else's phone, generally claiming a dangerous situation is taking place in hopes of drawing law enforcement to that address. The calls appear credible enough -- and dangerous enough -- that SWAT teams generally respond.
Because of the resources wasted dispatching personnel and the frightened responses of unsuspecting victims at the residences, the FBI is treating swatting as a serious crime. One perpetrator highlighted on the agency's website, Matthew Weigman, is serving 11 years in prison for instigating dozens of swatting hoaxes.
"The FBI takes swatting very seriously," special agent Kevin Kolbye said in a press release. "Working closely with industry and law enforcement partners, we continue to refine our technological capabilities and our investigative techniques to stop the thoughtless individuals who commit these crimes. The bottom line is that swatting puts innocent people at risk."
Chief Scheibler said the FBI is assisting the investigation of last week's incident. Even though the 9-1-1 call was a hoax, law enforcement is treating it seriously.
As Scheibler said: "(T)his is a crime. It's not a joke. It's a crime, and we're going to investigate it."
We would hope nobody local would be so malicious as to be involved in the crime. We would venture, however, there is. Other than celebrity swatting, most incidents are targeted at specific individuals who are known to the criminals. Most likely it either will be a cruel prank, or retribution for a wrong -- real or imagined.
The individual responsible for this hoax eventually will be tracked down. As good as their technological skills appear to be, the government has a few more tools at its disposal. Particularly the FBI.
The perpetrator would be better off in the long run if they turned themselves in now, before even more resources are dedicated to finding them.

Gladinet Cloud Desktop Starter Edition (32-bit)
A newer version of Gladinet Cloud Desktop Starter Edition (32-bit) is available.
Or, Learn More About Gladinet Cloud Desktop Starter Edition (32-bit)Full user review
"Fast and easy, but limited"
A very easy and relatively fast (SkyDrive upload ~140 MB/hour = 40 kB/s) way to access online storage like SkyDrive, Box.net, Google Docs and any other WebDAV or FTP server. Automatically updates the storage to match changes made on the computer.
The free version has some serious limitations, notably that it doesn't take more than 1000 files/folders into account for any given backup/sync job. It doesn't connect to SkyDrive directly but to some obscure server -- I don't know what to think.
I'm not sure yet whether I will keep Gladinet. I like the speed (not astronomical, but faster than other methods I know). In combination with Areca Backup, I can keep good encrypted backups of confidential files. But the 1000-file-per-assignment and 9-directory-levels limitations may turn out to be prohibitive for a really easy, streamlined process.
Recently, a number of new products have emerged in relation to SkyDrive. SDExplorer is a bit slower around 45 MB/hour (13 kB/s), but perhaps SkyDrive Synchronizer (a command line utility) has more potential, once it gets developed further. See http://skydrivesync.codeplex.com/
Many standard WebDAV sync/backup clients like BitKinex are unable to authenticate with SkyDrive's Passport 1.4 protocol, so they are of no use. We'll have to look out for further developments and hope that SkyDrive will publish a WebDAV API and improve upload and download speeds.

Media outlets are holding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to a higher standard by scandalizing her use of personal email while at the State Department, claiming the practice raises questions about her "transparency." In reality, other public officials -- including former Florida Governor Jeb Bush (R), who is attacking Clinton over the emails, and former Secretary of State Colin Powell -- have exclusively used personal email.
Research 8 hours and 31 minutes agoThe New York Times accused Hillary Clinton of potentially violating federal law pertaining to the preservation of e-mail records while acting as Secretary of State, but requirements to maintain such records did not exist during her tenure.
Research 8 hours and 36 minutes agoThe Washington Post's Glenn Kessler claimed that President Obama "appears to be purposely ignoring" the U.S. State Department's conclusions on whether most of the refined oil products from the Keystone XL pipeline would be exported. However, the State Department did not find that the majority of the refined oil products from Keystone XL would be consumed in the U.S., as Kessler suggested, and groups opposing Keystone XL note that the coastal refineries Keystone XL would service currently ship more than half of their refined oil products overseas.

Plymouth 0-1 Rochdale: Match Report
Jones on the mark againRochdale clinched their second 1-0 away win of the week as captain Gary Jones gave them a win at Plymouth.Hard-working midfielder Jones took his season's tally to 17 goals by crashing home at the far post after Nicky Adams miskicked Jason Kennedy's cross from the right.Home goalkeeper Romain Larrieu got his hand to the ball but could not stop Jones' thumping close-range right foot strike.The Dale skipper had an easier chance midway through the first half but Larrieu was equal to his weak shot.Argyle winger Yannick Bolasie came closest to breaking the deadlock in the first half with a thumping 29th-minute far-post header to greet Chris Clark's cross from the right. Bolasie's effort smashed off the upright.Larrieu did well to save Will Atkinson's 32nd-minute header and then bravely dived to punch away Adams' dangerous low cross from the right.In the second half, Argyle target man Rory Fallon fired just over from 18 yards as Plymouth pressed for a leveller.And late on Dale keeper Owain Fon Williams made a superb stop to deny Argyle striker Joe Mason as he let fly from 10 yards as the visitors failed to clear a corner.

AotPR part 8 - Panning Timelapse
Having had a long interest in timelapse photography, it occurred to me that a motorised panohead could offer interesting possibilities for panning timelapse work...

And an earlier (looping) one:

The timelapse movie of the road was supposed to have gone all the way around and loop, but the camera battery went flat half way through, after photographing in the cold all yesterday...
Programming-wise, the LEGO brick connects with a mobile phone vie bluetooth, and asks a series of questions about intervals between shots, overall distance to travel and the distance between each shot, then carries on without intervention.
It's interesting to see the effects of different perspectives on the perceived speed of rotation - taking the fisheye shots from the interior pan and remapping them to rectilinear apparently speeds up the movement, even though the movie takes the same time to go all the way around!

Overheard in GenForum: Killed in Action, W.W.II |
It is hard for us to really understand the true sacrifice in lives that was given during this war. However, there are 134,548 American servicemen buried in overseas cemeteries and another 78,000 names on Tablets of the Missing because their remains were never found. |
American Battle Monuments Commission
It is the American Battle Monuments Commission that is in charge of the burials of American soldiers in overseas cemeteries. As you can see from the numbers mentioned above there are a lot of burials to keep track of. The commission has the records of all deceased servicemen who are buried in American overseas cemeteries or are listed on the Tablets of the Missing.
When you write to them at the address listed below, you will be sent a brochure that will tell you the exact location of your uncle's grave. If he was among those listed on the Tablet of the Missing, then the brochure will tell you where his listing is on the Tablets. You can also request a photograph of the cemetery and your uncle's grave marker or his name on the Tablet of the Missing. They will superimpose your uncles marker or name over the cemetery.
You can write them at:
American Battle Monuments Commission Operations
20 Massachusetts Ave.
Room 5127 Casmir Pulaski Building
Washington, DC 20314-0001
Phone: 202-761-0537
Adopted Graves
In my research of Americans buried overseas, I found out that some of the local residents in the countries where the American cemeteries can be found have adopted graves. While not all of the American Cemeteries have such programs, even those that don't seem to do other things. All of this is a way to honor the Allied troops who died in the liberation of their countries.
For those cemeteries where the graves have been adopted, the locals visit the grave and leave flowers. They do this regularly. To find out which cemeteries have such programs, you will want to pick up Ann Bennet Mix's Touchstones, A Guide to Records, Rights and Resources for Families of American World War II Casualties, published by AGLL in 1996. She surveyed the superintendents of each of the overseas cemeteries and then included their responses in her book.
D-day Military Personnel
It is possible that your ancestor is buried in the Brittany-American Cemetery in Saint-James (Montjoe-Saint-Martin) France. This cemetery is located between Avranches and Fougeres and is near Mont-St. Michael in southwest Normandy. There are 4,410 Americans buried here and another 498 names on Tablets of the Missing. This cemetery though is often overlooked by researchers because of the larger one at St. Laurent-Sur-Mer.
You can contact them, if mailing from the United States, by writing:
Brittany American Cemetery
Paris Embassy PSC 116
The Normandy American Cemetery (St. Laurent-Sur-Mer) is located above Omaha Beach. It is this cemetery that is portrayed in Saving Private Ryan. If your uncle was one of those brave soldiers who gave his life during the landings at Normandy, then is it likely that he is buried here. There are 9,386 American soldiers buried here and another 1,557 names listed on Tablets of the Missing. This is another cemetery that doesn't have an adoption program as such.
To contact the cemetery from the United States, you can write them at:
Normandy American Cemetery
American Embassy Paris (ABMC)
Normandy Online
One of the first things that I do when I am working on a new research problem is see what I can find online. And this was not different. There were some interesting links to sites that you may want to check out:

Mike Cote's Business Editor's Notebook: Start-ups aim to run like Stark
And when you have just three minutes to pitch your idea, you have no time to crawl.
The founders of six New Hampshire start-ups took turns making their cases Tuesday as they vied for a prize package valued at more than $55,000.
And some wobbled and spun like Stark trying to get the kinks out of his new Iron Man suit.
"This ecosystem will be built by people putting themselves out there," abi CEO Jamie Coughlin told the group before they made their pitches. A couple of the evening's contestants made sure to invoke his fledgling catch-phrase for New Hampshire's small-business community: "Live free or start."
Before a crowd of about 75 people, the founders of Dreamy Paws, Regaalo, TechLok, New England Culinary Center, Ustablize and TestSoup made their public debut in a friendly environment. Call it "Shark Tank" without the sharks. That part will come on June 10 when the two finalists selected from the six will duke it out for the top prize before a judging panel at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College.
For Melissa Tagliamonte of Dreamy Paws, that meant creating a portable pet bed with a storage area that functions like a piece of luggage. Inside, there's room for leashes, pet bowls and chew toys. The Salem resident said she saw no such product when she researched pet beds online and in pet stores. "None of them had a storage component so I thought it was an opportunity to take advantage of this booming pet market," she said before presenting an example of the product available at dreamypaws.com, which features interchangeable pet bed covers.
Tom Puskarich, who closed Z Food & Drink restaurant on Elm Street last year after a five-year run and closed its catering operation six months ago, wants to create a business incubator for culinary entrepreneurs. The New England Culinary Center would help them prepare for the rigors of an industry that has high start-up costs and a myriad of regulations. "Passion isn't always good enough. ... A lot of food entrepreneurs lack a certain business acumen," Puskarich said. "A good chef can open a good restaurant, but if he can't balance his checkbook, he won't be in business very long."
Michael Muldoon, who co-founded Ustabilize with his wife, Monica Muldoon, said his company had a "game-changing product to increase your fitness and improve the way you move by turning your smartphone into a fitness game." The Hampton couple developed a gaming platform and a series of app-enabled devices that allow users to improve their stability through a series of movement challenges. The physical therapist made note of the high percentage of Granite State residents who are overweight or obese. He referred to the company's product as "Wii Fit on steroids."
Alex Hollis asked the audience to think back to the last time they took a standardized test: "You probably walked into that testing center with a feeling in your gut like you just ate a bunch of lead pellets. ... You probably felt underprepared and overwhelmed." Hollis of Manchester and Tom "TK" Kuegler of Litchfield founded TestSoup (www.testsoup.com) to provide online and mobile test-prep solutions for such exams as Wonderlic, a cognitive ability test used by employers. "A million people have to take that test every year in a corporate setting in order to get that new job or to get that raise," Hollis said.

More than 100 harvesters, most of them young and husky, rode the local freight of the Missouri Pacific into Hutchinson. Upon arrival, the men marched up Main Street and then to the police station. The army of harvesters were under the leadership of "General T. Baumgardner," an oil drifter.
Hutchinson dairymen, meeting informally, agreed almost unanimously to support the "standard" milk ordinance recommended by the state board of health inspectors for the safeguarding of the town's milk supply. The producers were ready to cooperate with Lloyd Cox, the city inspector.

Collaboration, Task and Project Management Solutions. 9 Ways to Delight Your Facebook Fans Without Giving Away The Farm. When it comes to social media marketing, and Facebook in particular, the name of the game is engagement.
Conventional wisdom says that the best way to keep your Facebook fans engaged is to reward them, the most obvious way being with free products, discounts and other types of giveaways. For many small businesses or businesses with limited resources, though, doing this on a regular basis is tough. So, instead of thinking of this as a barrier, think of it as a creative challenge. Here are nine other ways the creative marketer can engage and delight their fans and customers without spending a dime. Roos Displays - Fixture Manufacturing Company.

E-commerce Platforms - Young & Reckless Reports Record Sales. (December 20, 20111 – Oakland, CA) -- Young & Reckless, the streetwear clothing brand created by Drama from MTV's Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory has reported record breaking web sales since signing with Sparkart Group, Inc., the Oakland based full-service independent digital agency.
Sparkart was brought in to design, develop, and manage Young & Reckless' website (www.youngandreckless.com) which was launched in preparation for Cyber Monday. "It was our goal from the beginning to create a website for Young & Reckless that fully captures the brand unique aesthetic, works faster and provides a better shopping experience for their customers," says Sparkart CEO and Founder Naveen Jain. December 2007 - Apparel & Accessories Bringing merchandise and the store to online shoppers. When it comes to categories of products sold, apparel & accessories is the biggest kid on the Internet retailing block.
E-retailers in this category account for 80 of the top 500 retail web sites, according to the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide. The category, however, also has one of the biggest hurdles on the web: merchandise that shoppers really like to feel, hold and try on, actions impossible to achieve via an Internet connection. But that`s not stopping the apparel & accessories e-retailers named to the Hot 100 from using web tools and technologies to come as close as possible to helping shoppers "feel" merchandise and have an online experience similar to one they would have in a store. Coach.com, for example, has introduced Try It Online, a site feature designed to help dampen worries shoppers have when purchasing a handbag online. December 2008 - Apparel & Accessories. The e-commerce sites featured in the apparel & accessories category of this year's Hot 100 are as distinctive as, well, individual clothing buyers.
And that's a big part of what makes them successful. These are certainly not cookie-cutter sites. Put the retail sites of Anthropologie and Wet Seal up next to one another and the difference is night and day. The first sells with sophistication-employing luxurious images, a muted background conveying a dreamy feel and advanced technology such as a downloadable widget that spotlights the featured product of the day. - Hip-Hop Shop. If there were a contest to pick the edgiest retailer in the Internet Retailer Top 500, Boston-based Karmaloop LLC would surely win.
Founder Greg Selkoe didn't launch the online store because he liked retail or had any business experience-what he did have was a real passion for urban street culture. That passion sparked the formation of a start-up company in 2000 that Selkoe since has built into an established apparel and accessories e-commerce site with a big following among the young and uber-hip. And though Selkoe and his team have poured heart and soul into Karmaloop.com, packing it with content and innovative features that keep its audience coming back to see what's new with the genre's celebrities and artists as well as clothes and gear, there's still a small part of Selkoe that's surprised his start-up, which initially sold just five brands of T-shirts and sweatshirts, has become a $40 million business.

Online, at least, shoppers are spending money. Lots of it. People have spent $18.7 billion on e-commerce sites so far this holiday shopping season, 15 percent more than last year during the corresponding days, according to comScore. Top 500 - E-commerce sales jump 16% in 2011. U.S. e-commerce sales totaled $194.3 billion in 2011, up 16.1% from $167.3 billion in 2010, according to an estimate released today by the U.S.
Commerce Department. The estimate, not adjusted for seasonality, show that e-commerce is taking a bigger portion of overall retail sales in the United States. 4.6% of total retail spending took place online during 2011, up from 4.3% in 2010, according to the Commerce Department. Record Holiday 2011 Ecommerce Sales Impact by Online Marketing Technology. Philadelphia, PA (January 05, 2012)According to ComScore, online spending reached a record $35.3 billion this holiday season, a 15% increase over last year.
At the heart of this surge in online sales lies Philadelphia-based Monetate, a leading provider of online marketing technology, which announced that its platform drove roughly 20 percent, or $168 million of the record-setting $816 million in Black Friday online sales. As ecommerce companies increasingly look for ways to increase customer engagement and sales on their websites in a highly competitive online shopping environment, technology providers like Monetate play an essential role in helping to move the needle on sales.
The significant adoption of Monetate's platform signals the importance online retailers place on delivering a more engaging and relevant shopping experience to customers in ways that measurably impact website ROI.

LG G Watch Review: This Early Android Wear Watch Could Use A Bit More Time To Bake
LG is one of the first to market with an Android Wear smartwatch. Their hardware runs on Google's smartwatch platform, which is pretty locked down in terms of what kind of customizations Google allows OEM to make. But there's still plenty of room to shine – and fall short – when it comes to hardware design. LG's watch seems to have missed the mark in some key… Read More

Lin texts wrong rookie teammate 'goodbye'
OCT 30, 2012 10:30a ET
The Houston Rockets guard sure hopes so. In the moments following a five-player trade that landed James Harden in Houston and rookie Jeremy Lamb in Oklahoma City, Lin thought he was texting Lamb when he sent a message saying, "goodbye and good luck." He was actually texting Rockets rookie Scott Machado, an undrafted free agent who took Lin's text to mean he had been cut.
He hadn't been.
"We had four good point guards here, and I was the newcomer, the undrafted one," Machado told The Houston Chronicle. "I was here (Monday), and nobody told me anything. I came out to practice, and it felt good. I feel like it's a true blessing. It's something I always wanted. I've been working hard to get where I wanted to go. I feel real good."
That being the case, Machado thought maybe Lin had made a mistake.
"I was like, 'Hey, it's Scott, it's not Jeremy,' " he told the newspaper. "'Did you hear something about me?' I was all nervous. He was like, "Oh, I apologize, I apologize.' It all worked out."
Machado actually made Houston's opening-night roster. The Rockets waived veteran Shaun Livingston, meaning Machado and Toney Douglas will back up Lin at point guard.

Show Your Support for Limits on Carbon Pollution!
In June 2014, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced carbon pollution standards to set the first-ever limits on carbon dioxide (CO2) from existing fossil-fueled power plants. Carbon pollution fuels costly, even deadly, extreme weather events and worsens air quality resulting in more asthma attacks, heat-related deaths and respiratory complications. Carbon pollution also contributes to warmer temperatures which is speeding the spread of infectious diseases. Both extreme weather events and the aforementioned range of health threats have a disproportionate impact on vulnerable communities here in the Southeast, most notably children, the elderly, communities of color and low-income residents.
Please take a minute now to send a message to the EPA to show you support the proposed rule to limit harmful carbon pollution from existing power plants by sending in comments today.

Class Configuration changes
Class Configuration changes
There have been class configuration changes in 4.1 (that are not present in 4.0.7).
For example, adding a config variable generates corresponding 'apply' and 'update' methods. The 'update' method is new in 4.1.

reader has changed...
reader has changed...
Hello Sencha Team,
I've got some problems to upgrade my Ext4.0.7 application to Ext4.1. I haven't found a detailed description, which changes are made to the Reader-Class, may be someone here can help me with this.
I have implement a "native" Coldfusion-Reader-Class. Therefore I extend Ext.data.reader.Json and override the readRecords function:
PHP Code:readRecords: function(data) {
return this.callParent([data]);
(The "native" Coldfusion way to send data as json is for example:)
PHP Code:{
So I only have to read the fields-Config and map the right array-index from the COLUMNS-array regarding the field.mapping or if not provide the field.name.
After finding the right index for a field, I build the current extractorFunction in the checkColumns function by :
PHP Code://Loop over the fields config array
var fields = this.model.prototype.fields.items, i = 0, length = fields.length, extractorFunctions = [], map, mIndex;
for (; i < length; i++) {
//code for finding the correct array index 'mIndex' (still working correct in Ext4.1)
extractorFunctions.push(function(index) {
return function(data) {
return data[index];
//Assign the new extractorFunctions to the reader
this.extractorFunctions = extractorFunctions;
Is there something changed in the base Reader class, which override my extractor functions?-->
29 Mar 2012 1:44 PM #17
Yes, the extraction of data from the raw object into each record's data property has changed.
Instead of generating an accessor function for every field, and then calling that in a loop for every field of every record read, we do something better in 4.1
We generate a function which extracts all fields from a raw row into the data property in one shot.
This function is formatted so that if you step into it, you will be able to read what it does and step through in the debugger.
So look at line 421 in Reader, you will see
Code:me.convertRecordData(convertedValues, node, record);
That is the generated function which does the field converting and copying.
If you step in, you will be inside a function which looks a little like this one which is used by the ArrayReader of the basic array grid example:
Code:function(dest, source, record) { dest["company"] = (source[0] === undefined) ? __field0.defaultValue : source[0]; dest["price"] = __field1.convert((source[1] === undefined) ? __field1.defaultValue : source[1], record); dest["change"] = __field2.convert((source[2] === undefined) ? __field2.defaultValue : source[2], record); dest["pctChange"] = __field3.convert((source[3] === undefined) ? __field3.defaultValue : source[3], record); dest["lastChange"] = __field4.convert((source[4] === undefined) ? __field4.defaultValue : source[4], record); }
You can also see that it is created as a closure inside a scope which captures useful references.
"me" is a reference to the Reader. And you have vars set up which reference the Field definitions for each Field.
Your custom reader needs to implement a createFieldAccessExpression method. It is private now, so custom readers are not officially supported even though they obviously have been around for a while.
This function will be passed field, fieldVarName, dataName
field is a reference to the Ext.data.Field object which describes the field you are creating an access expression for.
fieldVarName is a string which is the name of the var which references that Field object in the scope of the function that will be using your returned expression. So the code you create can use this string as a var name. In that example above they are "__field1", "__field2" etc (We cannot call them your defined field names in case they are reserved words... we actually made that mistake in beta code)
dataName is the name of the object from which the data is being extracted. So it's the name of the var which contains ["data1.1","data2.1"]Search the forum: http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=01...%3Az7of1ufqccu
Read the docs too: http://extjs.com/deploy/dev/docs/
Scope: http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.ph...642#post257642-->
29 Mar 2012 1:50 PM #18
But that looks like you just need an ArrayReader. Can you use an ArrayReader with your returned data?

Read the docs too: http://extjs.com/deploy/dev/docs/

30 Mar 2012 1:32 AM #19
Thank you for your advice. I'll look at the detail today.
Yes, that's right. Basically, I need an ArrayReader. But the problem with the ArrayReader is that I need fixed indices to configure it. But fixed indices are not given in the application or better in the data return and may change with each call. Only the specific fields are fixed, but not the current index of the field in the array in the data return. However, since the "COLUMNS" are sent, which describing the current field indices, I can use them to define the "dynamic" indexes (you can also be interpreted it as a metaChange event on each call ).
To implement my "CfQueryReader" I mixed the techniques of the JsonReader and the ArrayReader to get the best of both . I really like the way how to configure a JsonReader, because it is more "readable" for me, and the ArrayReader does not need the "data overhead" to combine each field data set with the field name.-->
16 Apr 2012 5:36 AM #20
Ext.data.NodeInterface#decorate now expects the model class instead of a model record. Could this check for a record and extract its class as well to not break backward compatibility with 4.0?

Inland areas will see similar conditions today with highs still unseasonably warm thanks to the thermal trough moving further inland, this will have the opposite effect at the coast bringing cooler onshore flow and thus cooler temperatures and some stratus clouds and possible fog.
Change happens as we head into Sunday as we bring in the first real chance for isolated afternoon thunderstorms, the question will be if we have enough moisture to form thunderclouds (towering cumulus). Any thunderstorms that form on Sunday will have little rain, so the threat for dry lightning and gusty winds is present, not a good combination with the hot and dry weather we've had for so long. The chance for afternoon thunderstorms continues through Wednesday, with the best chance Monday and Tuesday. The threat for dry lightning will still be present these days, but we should also see more rain as we tap into more monsoonal moisture from the southwest. Lightning can strike up to ten miles from rainfall though, so even if we see rain with the storm the lightning could strike outside where it is still dry. This is a good reminder to keep fire safety in mind, especially the next several days. Where thunderstorms form will be different everyday and expecting to see sunshine before any storms develop after we've warmed up creating enough instability to form thunderclouds.
You can find out more about fire safety on my Facebook page! Thanks for logging on and have a great weekend!

Fitness and overall well-being has been a focus for Angela for decades. She discovered yoga in 1998 when, due to an injury, she had to take a break from running. What she failed to realize at that moment was that yoga was going to change her life. While the physical component of yoga was what drew her in, as she practiced more and more, the spiritual component became increasingly important.
In her eagerness to spread this passion, Angela was certified to teach by Power Yoga Works in 2005. In June 2012, she completed Level One Teacher Training with Baron Baptiste in Sedona, Arizona. She has been providing yoga instruction, in both group and individual settings, ever since, and her commitment to her own practice, as well as to the practice of others, has intensified.

Carolyn Sanazaro
My name is Carolyn Sanazaro. I was born & raised in rural Missouri. I live on a farm on the meremac river with my husband Dan, and we have 2 grown children, Lane & Lacey.
I was fortunate enough to be a stay at home Mom. We have passed our passion of the outdoors on to our children. Being a stay at home Mom presents many challenges, and I soon found my best therapy was just to climb a tree with my bow, rifle, or just a camera.
I come from a long line of hunters. My grandparents, parents, & siblings (of which, I have a twin sister) all share the same love of the outdoors. My husband and I opened an archery pro shop in 2008. In 2013 we began the development of the SCUD "in flight scent dispenser" which hit the market in 2014.
Some of my favorite travel destinations have taken us to Kansas, & Old Mexico bow hunting whitetail, wild hogs, coyotes, and javelina. I look forward to adding some different species to my hunting list. The traveling & relationships made along the way, have only enhanced my love of the sport & I hope to inspire more women to enjoy it as much as I do.
Lucas Falkner
I have been lucky enough to be a Rochester firefighter since 2000 and an outdoorsman for 24 years now. I started as a young boy and I can remember going duck hunting, fishing, and even watching my dad deer hunt, which really started my passion and respect for the outdoors. My entire family has taught me different types of outdoor sports throughout the years from trolling for monster salmon to taking almost every type of small and big game available. I am always trying new ways to enjoy the outdoors.
I have taken all that I have learned and turned that into a business, as well as a passion. In 2009, I started Make the Turn Charters (maketheturncharters.com) which is a trophy trout and salmon business on Lake Ontario. This success turned into a sport fishing team which has won numerous prizes throughout the years. I was fortunate enough to perfect my hunting of whitetails, taking a NYS record buck in 2011.
I am thankful to start teaching my kids Aiden (5) and Olivia(3), how to fish and hunt and I am always looking to help a fellow sportsman out.

Charles Linder is a San Francisco artist who uses predominantly found objects in his sculptural work and installations. His series of lamps built from farm materials and powder-coated in strong colours is bold, both visually and intellectually, given that they are riddled with practical bullet holes that allow that light to pass through. Another one of Linder's collections is a series of road signs re-interpreted, also bearing the laciness of the bullet hole effect.

Mayer Brown's Appellate.net |
SUPREME COURT DOCKET REPORT 2001 Term, Number 13 / April 15, 2002 Today the Supreme Court granted certiorari in one case of potential interest to the business community. Amicus briefs in support of the petitioners are due on Thursday, May 30, 2002, and amicus briefs in support of the respondents are due on Monday, July 1, 2002. Any questions about this case should be directed to Eileen Penner (202-263-3242) or Miriam Nemetz (202-263-3253) in our Washington office. Trademarks — Dilution — Actual Injury. The Federal Trademark Dilution Act ("FTDA"), 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c), permits the owner of a famous mark to obtain an injunction against another party's commercial use of a mark or trade name that "causes dilution of the distinctive quality of the [famous] mark." The Supreme Court granted certiorari in Victor Moseley and Cathy Moseley, d/b/a Victor's Little Secret v. V Secret Catalogue, Inc., et al., No. 01-1015, to determine whether a showing of actual injury to the famous mark is a necessary element of a claim for relief under the FTDA. V Secret Catalogue, Inc. owns the "Victoria's Secret" mark, which it licenses to Victoria's Secret Catalogue, LLC and Victoria's Secret Stores, Inc. ("Victoria's Secret"). Victoria's Secret, which sells women's lingerie and clothing, operates over 750 stores and distributes 400 million copies of its catalogue each year. In February 1998, Victor and Cathy Moseley opened a store called "Victor's Secret," which sold lingerie, adult videos, sex toys, and "adult novelties." Shortly after the store opened, Victoria's Secret sent the Moseleys a letter asking them to cease and desist their use of the name "Victor's Secret." Thereafter, the Moseleys changed the name of their store to "Victor's Little Secret." The word "Little" appeared in small font above the original "Victor's Secret" logo. Victoria's Secret sued the Moseleys in federal district court, alleging trademark infringement and trademark dilution. The district court rejected the infringement claim on the ground that there was no likelihood of confusion between the two marks. However, it ruled in favor of Victoria's Secret on its dilution claim, concluding that the Moseleys' mark was sufficiently similar to the Victoria's Secret mark to blur the senior mark's product identification and tarnish it with the junior mark's more "risqué" inventory. Accordingly, the district court enjoined the Moseleys from using the designation "Victor's Little Secret" or any other similar mark. The Sixth Circuit affirmed. 259 F.3d 464. The principal issue in the appeal was "whether a plaintiff must prove actual, present injury to its mark to state a federal dilution claim" — a question as to which the Circuits were already divided. Id. at 471. The Sixth Circuit rejected the conclusion of the Fourth and Fifth Circuits that the holder of a famous mark must prove actual, consummated dilutive harm in order to prevail in a claim under the FTDA. See Ringling Bros.-Barnum & Bailey Combined Shows, Inc. v. Utah Division of Travel Development, 170 F.3d 449 (4th Cir.), cert. denied, 528 U.S. 923 (1999); Westchester Media v. PRL USA Holdings, Inc., 214 F.3d 658 [link 2] (5th Cir. 2000). Instead, the court agreed with the Second Circuit that an "inference of likely harm to the senior mark" suffices to state a claim under the FTDA. 259 F.3d at 476 (citing Nabisco, Inc. v. PF Brands, Inc., 191 F.3d 208 (2d Cir. 1999)). See also Eli Lilly & Co. v. Natural Answers, Inc., 233 F.3d 456 [link 2] (7th Cir. 2000) (proof of mere likelihood of dilution sufficient). As the Sixth Circuit observed, "requiring proof of actual economic harm [would] make bringing a successful claim under the FTDA extremely difficult" (259 F.3d at 476), especially when a trademark holder seeks a remedy "before dilution has actually caused economic harm to the senior mark" (ibid.). Accordingly, this case is extremely significant to any business that possesses and seeks to protect a famous mark. * * * The Court also invited the Solicitor General to express the views of the United States with respect to two related petitions of interest to the business community: Hillside Dairy Inc. v. Lyons, No. 01-950, and Ponderosa Dairy v. Lyons, No. 01-1018: The principal question presented is whether the Ninth Circuit correctly ruled that Section 144 of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act insulates California's milk pricing and pooling laws from challenge under the Commerce Clause. Decision below: 259 F.3d 1148. This Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw Supreme Court Docket Report provides information and comments on legal issues and developments of interest to our clients and friends. The foregoing is not a comprehensive treatment of the subject matter covered and is not intended to provide legal advice. Readers should seek specific legal advice before taking any action with respect to the matters discussed herein. |

Successful writers need to grab readers by the throat and keep them hooked! These writing tips describe the best ways to write a great lead or introduction. There are dozens of ways to hook readers with the first sentence…but only a few that work every single time…
Before the tips, a quip:
"It's important to try to write when you are in the wrong mood or the weather is wrong. Even if you don't succeed you'll be developing a muscle for later on." – John Ashbery.
To be a successful writer, you need to write even when you don't feel like it and even when you're not in the mood — and I daresay the leads, body, and conclusion of your article or book chapter will be as good as if you actually felt like writing! For more writing tips and inspiration, read Hooking the Reader: Opening Lines that Sell. And, read on for six ways to write a great introduction…
How to Write a Great Lead and Hook Readers
1. Involve your readers. In Writer's Digest Handbook of Magazine Article Writing, Frank Peterson advises writers to show only enough to keep readers reading. Give them a peek at your best hand, and slowly reveal the rest. Writing great leads is like leaving a trail of bread crumbs throughout your article…your reader won't rest until he's eaten every last crumb.
2. Offer a taste of what the article will reveal. Here's the lead I wrote for an article on male libido for MSN Health: "Monthly cycles, dipsticks, and brown semen are a few things you've probably never associated with healthy sexuality – but they're all normal for men." When you're writing a great lead, you need to grab your reader by the throat!
3. Startle your readers. Here's an example of an effective introduction or lead that might startle readers and keep them reading: "Eating your own brain may not seem very smart, but that's how some organisms stay healthy. Scientists found that not only do certain single-cell organisms "eat" their damaged or aged parts, they also consume their own nucleus or brain if it's diseased. Luckily, you don't have to eat brains to keep your mind strong – you need only enjoy certain delicious foods." I think this lead would hook readers, but I haven't actually sold this article ("10 Foods That Make You Smarter") yet.
4. Ask a provocative question. "Would you let your husband have a sleep over with a sexy colleague from his office?" The provocative part doesn't necessarily have to be sensual; anything challenging, stimulating, or even confrontational is provocative. Writing great leads can involve catching your readers off-guard with a bit of controversy.
5. Cite a dramatic fact. This lead would hook readers if they're interested in animals: "On a scale of 1 to 10, penguins have an IQ of minus 5." This isn't the most dramatic fact ever, and this sentence may only hook readers who are totally enthralled with sealife, but you get the point. Interesting introductions are effective when they include a dramatic fact.
6. Gross your readers out. "When Eric Westermann started his career as an archival photographer, he didn't know he'd be removing teeth and bone fragments from the walls, cleaning clumps of scalp from the ceilings, and disposing of detached ears and toes at murder scenes. This 26 year old works for Crime and Trauma Scene Cleaners, Inc; his job includes decontaminating anything toxic, horrific, or deadly." This introduction was for an article I wrote for Reader's Digest Online, called "Ways to Make Work Better."
The best (only?) way to keep your readers reading is to hook them from the beginning, and keep them hooked. For more writing tips, read 52 Ways to Write Interesting Leads or Introductions.

Yes, but as always, it depends on the audience. Some traumatic events as a lead or hook for readers can turn them off….it just depends on the topic, audience, etc.
.-= Laurie Pawlik-Kienlen´s last blog post ..Reach Money Goals Faster – 5 Ways Your Friends Help or Hinder =-. -
Traumatic events are good ways to hook the readers. Its all about getting their emotions into it.
I know to use tramatic events to help you write something dark, or sad, but I've never thought to gross my reader out. Great tips. Also you're right, it's hard to write when you're not in the mood. But sometimes that's the best time to write when you're angry, or depressed. It's amazing what comes out of you during these times.

The Shreveport Bar Foundation is offering free legal advice to veterans. No appointment is needed, and they will help with any type of law.
This program is funded with a grant from the Louisiana Bar Foundation, enabling them to help vets that need it. Gernine Mailhes, of the foundation, says that a lot of vets are homeless because of arrests in their past. In many cases, a DWI is keeping them from passing a background check necessary for many employers. She said that at first, she was surprised by the number of vets that come to them looking to expunge a record, but it makes sense.
The clinic will be at the Highland Center (VOA) from 11am-1pm on October 9. They will also be having free clinics on January 8 and April 9 of 2013.

About Us
Streets of Growth our Charity of the Year
Streets of Growth
RPC's partnership with Streets of Growth is the first of its kind. It's not simply about fundraising or box-ticking. It's not about going through the motions of a CSR project. We have approached Streets of Growth, which strives to reach out to and positively influence disenfranchised youth living in deprived parts of London's Tower Hamlets, through a genuine working relationship and we are providing it with a full service. RPC's relationship with Streets of Growth is multi-faceted and ambitious. It includes a mentoring scheme; assistance with branding and social media; the development of business skills with professional and commercial support; help with finding a new home for the charity; and of course, legal support. It sees some of the most senior members within our business work one-on-one with founder Darren Way and chief executive Diane Peters to help develop and support the expansion and advancement of Streets of Growth as an organisation. And because those relationships are bedded down, Streets of Growth and its volunteers can continue to focus on the most important relationship of them all: the 12-22 year olds who potentially face a life of crime, violence and drugs in the third poorest borough in London.

DKNY Shirred Swim Dress
This suit was on sale and I really love the idea of it. Garnet Hill said to order one size up, but I would have been happier if I had just bought the size 10. The 12 is just a little big all over, even in the bust... and usually I have the opposite problem, where tops fit me except they pull in the bust area.
That being said it is a beautiful, quality suit and if you have other swim dresses you like I am sure you will love this one.

The other swim dresses you offer are a little longer in length, more A line. I like the clingier fit of this swim dress, but wanted to know if it had the option of being a little longer than shown on the model. Is it scrunched up in the picture or is that as long as it goes? Thanks.

DKNY did not put any cup sizing on their tags, so we do not have that specific information. The cups are not the "hard" molded cup variety, but rather a padded style cup with underwire that is part of the shelf bra attached to the outer part of the swimsuit at the top edge and to the inner lining below the bra. Removal of the cups would ruin the suit. Our product specialists have concluded the cups would be appropriate for an A-cup to B-cup.7 months ago

A lecture by Josep M. Fradera Barceló, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona
This presentation discussed how immigration made Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines—the three remaining Spanish colonies after the imperial breakdown of 1810-1824—conspicuously different societies and how this conditioned their reactions to the shifting political options offered by the Spanish liberal State at different moments from the first liberal Constitution of 1812 up to the end of Spanish sovereignty in 1898.
Josep Fradera Barceló is Professor of History at the Universitat Pomeu Fabra in Barcelona and an expert in the economic, political and cultural history of Catalonia and Spain during the 19th century and of Spanish colonialism in the Americas and the Philippines.
This event is sponsored by the Forum on Migration and Columbia's Center for the Study of Ethnicity and Race as part of the Migration, Race, and Ethnicity lecture series.

Policies & Procedures
Policy -
Effective July 1,1998, purchases of goods and approved services which do not exceed the transaction limit, may be paid for by using the State of West Virginia Purchasing Card. The Purchasing Card was established to provide a more efficient, cost-effective method of purchasing and paying for small dollar purchases.
Usage -
The cardholder is obligated to follow all rules as stated in the Purchasing Card Policies and Procedures. The purchasing card is for official state use only. Personal charges are not allowed.
Purchasing cards are issued to employees at the request of the Coordinator by delegated authority from the chief fiscal officer or department head. All transactions must be authorized by VISA. If a purchase exceeds the transaction limit, the transaction will be denied. Receipts and other transaction documentation are to be retained by the spending unit.
Each spending unit will determine how the purchasing cards will be used consistent with these policies and procedures. Each spending unit will develop guidelines for distribution to cardholders.
If an agency consistently does not follow the Purchasing Card Policies and Procedures, the agency may be dropped from participation in the program.
