West Seattle, Washington
Two West Seattle Crime Watch reports tonight:
STOLEN CAR: Rebecca's neighborhood in Gatewood has been hit again by car thieves. Her car was taken two months ago; we published her report, and an observant neighbor spotted the car nearby. Tonight, she says, two sisters visiting the neighborhood reported someone stole their car just feet from where Rebecca's was taken in the 3900 block of SW Elmgrove [map]. It's a 2009 Nissan Versa, baby blue, WA plate ending in 632, "trim near driver-side door hands loose near keyhole." Call 911 if you see it.
DOORSTEP THEFT: In the 9000 block of 4th SW [map], Sheila reports a doorstep theft last night:
Our neighbor returned a car battery recharger he borrowed, left it on the front step at 10 pm. We have video of a man quickly walking up the front walk at about 11:20, grabbing the small pouch with the charger in it, and walking quickly away. I've reported to police. … The guy was wearing a hat so can't see his face. Short, apparently dark hair is best we've been able to make out. Coat with bright tape (like safety jacket) and high-top sneakers.
P.S. Reminder – this month's West Seattle Crime Prevention Council meeting is next Tuesday (June 21st), 7 pm, at the Southwest Precinct (2300 SW Webster; map).
P.P.S., ADDED FRIDAY MORNING: WSCPC president Richard Miller tells WSB that the guest on Tuesday will be SPD's Chief Operating Officer Brian Maxey, who will be able to speak about the operations of the 911 Center, among other topics.
A little help can make a big difference. That proved true this morning in Gatewood, where resident Jill Boone decided to organize a spring cleanup once she found out nobody else had something planned for the area. Despite the chilly rain, a small, stalwart group got the job done:
We had three families for our Gatewood litter clean-up out in the rain this morning, picking up litter from the water tower Park to Holden, especially the bus stops. Two big bags of trash were picked up. If you are a smoker, please dispose of your cigarette butts somewhere besides the ground!!
Here are a few photos of the Morelands and the Boones. Many thanks to the City for Spring Cleanup support. We hope to do this again on a day when it's a bit drier to be out and about.
Not too late for your own community cleanup!
The second and final day of the first-ever Westside Plant and Garden Art Fair is on! We stopped in just as the gate opened at 11 am and were pointed to the sign you see above, celebrating what a huge success Day 1 was. If you get there soon, you'll still find some plants:
But there's lots else to see and do, including kids' activities. This is all happening in the lot outside Westside Unitarian Universalist Congregation at 7141 California SW in Gatewood.
Before you go, browse the official website!
5:17 PM: A big Seattle Fire response is arriving at a possible house fire in Gatewood, in the 6700 block of 36th SW [map].
5:20 PM: Early arrivals have made the preliminary assessment – as monitored via scanner – that it's a "small smoldering fire in the attic."
5:22 PM: All but three SFD units are being dismissed. Those remaining on scene report "water on the fire."
5:28 PM: Our crew has arrived and confirms that firefighters have extinguished the small fire in the attic, believed to be electrical in origin. No injuries reported.
Just in from the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office: 22-year-old Malik R. Jones is charged with first-degree burglary in connection with the Saturday morning break-in (WSB coverage here) in which a Gatewood woman was startled awake by an intruder touching her. State law incorporates assault in this particular charge (read the law here), so it covers the alleged touching as well as the burglary itself.
Prosecutors are asking that Jones's bail remain set at $100,000, though his only criminal history is described as a "reduced DUI charge" resolved three months ago in Pierce County, where he is believed to live. Allegations in the document are largely what we reported on Monday, after his bail hearing, except for the added information that the cell phone stolen from the victim was later found outside the house, "smashed to bits." More to come …
$100,000 is the bail amount set today for the 22-year-old man arrested early Saturday for allegedly breaking into a Gatewood home and trying to get into bed with a woman asleep with her 5-year-old. We first reported the incident on Saturday morning after hearing from the victim.
From the narrative of the incident written by police, used to determine there's probable cause to hold the suspect:
(The victim) was woken up by male touching her face and shoulders. She thought it was her husband and said, "Honey, what is it?" An unknown male said, "It's OK. He's asleep." The male kept saying, "It's OK." She tried to turn on her nightstand light but the suspect grabbed her wrist, restraining it. He held her wrist for a bit, but then she was able to pull away and turn the light on and call for her husband. The suspect turned away and walked off. The suspect was a (black man), 20's, about 5'6 with short hair, wearing a gray and green checkered shirt and jeans, apparently intoxicated. She did not know the suspect and he did not have permission to come into her home or to touch her. Her cell phone had been charging on her bedside table but it was now missing.
At 0332, Officer Gindhart saw the suspect walking in the alley just south of the location. Officers detained the suspect … At 0342, I transported (victim) to the location. She immediately recognized the suspect Officers were contacting, and positively identified (him) as the person who burglarized her home, touched and restrained her without permission. Officer Gindhart read (the suspect) his Miranda rights from his SPD resource booklet and asked if he understood. He said, "Yes."
Officer Ginhart transported (the suspect) to SW Precinct. I spoke with (the suspect). He said he thought he was going to a house his brother rented for a big party all weekend. He said he was looking for his brother. He was affected by alcohol and/or drugs, with watery eyes, slurred speech, and an odor of intoxicants on his breath. He said he never touched anyone or took a cell phone. He was later booked into KCJ for Investigation of Burglary.
(A neighborhood party was mentioned in WSB comment discussion over the weekend.) Online records show a dozen cases for the suspect, all in Pierce County, but no felony charges/convictions. Prosecutors will decide later this week whether to file charges.
7:20 PM: Reader report from Ron:
Sunday afternoon 1/31. someone had target practice with my back window of our car. We heard the car alarm sound and when we checked our car, there were BB-sized dents around the window. Unfortunately the back window was gravely shot and is not expected to recover. Amazing that this took place in broad daylight. That takes a special kind of person. We are located on the 6700 block of 37th Ave SW in Gatewood [map]. Hopefully we are the only ones who were victimized by this type of idiocy.
10:37 PM: In comments, Ryan reports a similar incident, 7700 block of 32nd Avenue SW.
MIDDAY MONDAY: And more reports in comments. We're working on a followup.
Multiple reports this morning of Comcast being out in Gatewood. They're reporting the company hopes to have service back by 11 am.
Side note: Checking the city's Office of Cable Communications page, we note it's still taking comments on the proposed Comcast renewal through Monday.
As promised, we've followed up today on Sunday morning's burglary in the 8200 block of California SW, with a nearby resident seeing it happen and calling it in, but police not arriving until after the burglar was gone.
The 911 call was made at 11 am, as we reported on Sunday – the witness has record of that on a cell phone screen. The first officer to arrive at the house was shortly after quarter past – we happened to see it firsthand, because we are based a few blocks south and happened to be heading out on an errand at the time.
Here's what SPD told us happened in the meantime.
*The dispatch went out at 11:03. An officer was headed to the house by 11:09.
*Before arrival, police got word the burglar(s) had left (11:14, the witness said), and so instead of proceeding immediately to the house, they tried to find the vehicle, using the description and plate (Washington AWB5824 – here's a photo from the witness):
As the witness told us, they spotted a car they believed to be the vehicle, and they tried to pull it over – but the driver didn't stop, and proceeded "in an unsafe manner," as SPD put it, so officers were told to terminate the pursuit, which is SPD policy if it's believed to be a threat to public safety. From the SPD pursuit policy, which you can read in full here:
…3. Officers Will Not Pursue Without Justification
The circumstances justifying the decision to pursue an eluding vehicle must be articulable at the time the officer initiates the pursuit.
Officers will not pursue solely for any one of the following:
– Traffic violations / Civil Infractions
– Misdemeanors
– Gross misdemeanors
– Property crimes
– The act of eluding alone
4. Officers Will Cease Pursuit When the Risk of the Pursuit Outweighs the Danger to the Public if the Suspect is not Captured
Following up on one other point from our original story – the SPD spokesperson with whom we spoke hadn't seen anything about the mention of "shift change" and did not think that was related. The case is open, SPD verifies, and detectives have "good information" to follow up on.
(Police blocking road near scene)
3:20 PM: Thanks for all the tips. Avoid California SW in Gatewood between Portland and Ida – there's a big police response. Initial scanner traffic indicated police were trying to make contact with a possibly armed man in a house in the 7700 block of California.
Officers just knocked on the door and went inside.
3:39 PM: Our crew says police came back out without anyone, but there's someone in a squad car. That doesn't necessarily mean an arrest; we are waiting to talk to the sergeant on scene to find out more.
3:49 PM: Police tell us the person they have in custody is the person they were called about because of concern he was going to harm himself. They did not find anyone else in the house; no one is injured. They expect to be at the scene a while longer, and the road is still partly blocked. (Whenever we mention crisis situations like this, we also always mention the local 24-hour Crisis Clinic hotline – 206-461-3222.)
5:02 PM: Just got a chance to go back and check the area. The road is open again.
Incidents we've been tracking tonight:
11:13 PM: Police are responding to the Westside Unitarian Universalists Congregation church in Gatewood (7141 California SW) right now after a report of a possible burglary/theft. The Guardian One helicopter is in the area and offered to help search for a possible suspect, so you might hear it shortly. No description at this point beyond "unknown race male" in a hoodie.
11:20 PM: The helicopter's in the area now.
11:29 PM: And it's moved on, while police continue investigating on the ground.
11:50 PM: **Separate incident** but while we have this Crime Watch report open, we're adding it. Police are investigating a report of someone being robbed at Roxhill Park. No aerial search in this case – the trail was quite cold, as the victim did not report it until getting home about half an hour later. (We have no further info on this one but more often than not, street robberies have a reporting lag because the robber[s] take the victim's phone.)
12:44 AM: **Separate incident** Police rushed to Fauntleroy after multiple calls about someone screaming for help. After trying to figure out where exactly it happened, they found a victim in the 8600 block of 46th SW, a 21-year-old woman who is reported to have been assaulted. SFD is en route to evaluate her injuries. Police are trying to sort out what happened.
The sun's out and two vehicle-wash fundraisers happening right now in West Seattle, both by donation:
WEST SEATTLE HIGH SCHOOL CHEERLEADERS: Until 3 pm, WSHS cheerleaders are washing vehicles at Les Schwab, Fauntleroy/Alaska (map).
TRINITY WEST SEATTLE YOUTH: Also until 3 pm, a fundraising vehicle wash is under way to send Trinity and Skate Church youth to camp. It's at the church, 7551 35th SW (map).
Jeff lives in north Gatewood and has found car-prowl loot discarded near his house before. He's been able to reunite items with their owners before … but this time he's not having luck and asking if you know whose things these are:
I found some things hidden behind a bush off of the alley behind my house that I believe are unwanted items from a car prowl. The items include some clothing, a drawing book, and a CD case that must have 20 or 30 CDs in it.
The book and the clothing probably aren't worth much but the CDs would have some value. Judging from the drawing book I am guessing that it is all from a young person. There is a name in the drawing book … I could not find a person by that name in West Seattle but then a young person might not show up. There are also some dates from March and then the 4th of July so the items are probably from a recent event. I would like to return the items to the owner if they want them.
We advised him to notify police, but in the meantime, if the owner comes forward, he'd still be able to return the items.
Since midnight, the Seattle Fire Department 911 log shows two "brush fire" calls in West Seattle (out of a total of six citywide today). Above, the aftermath of one of them, shared by Dennis, who wrote, "Someone with fireworks didn't like our tree. 12:35 last night. Be careful, folks, it is REAL DRY out there … this is what can happen." He's in the 3600 block of SW Othello in Gatewood; the other "brush fire" call so far, about 12 hours later, was in the 8100 block of 14th SW in Highland Park.
The biggest party on Gatewood Hill tonight is at the Westside Unitarian Universalist Congregation church at California/Othello – in honor of Rev. Peg Boyle Morgan (above), who's retiring after 13 years. The party includes a lasagna dinner …
… and marimba music:
Rev. Morgan's tenure with WSUU included its purchase of, renovation of, and move five years ago into the Gatewood church building, a home of its own after two decades of meeting in rented space. WSUU will welcome an interim minister, Rev. Beatrice Hitchcock, in August; she's coming from the same role with a congregation in Anchorage, Alaska. But first, Rev. Morgan will preside at tomorrow's 10:30 am service, at which she'll be formally installed as WSUU's Minister Emerita and will share her "best hopes for Westside's future."
From Johnny and Kalynn on SW Austin in Gatewood:
We woke up this morning and our truck had been stolen. It's a Red 1994 Ford F150 XLT. The license place is C89822C. Only the back license plate is on. The front has no plate. If anyone has seen it, we would really like to get it back.
If you see it – as SPD advises, call 911.
12:03 PM: Don't know yet what it was about, but a group of military helicopters flew northbound over the west-facing West Seattle shore a short time ago. Anybody get a photo/video? We ran out the front door with the phone (resulting in this video, but they're somewhat tiny-looking in the distance). One observer said via Twitter that it looked like four Chinooks and a Blackhawk.
12:24 PM: Thanks to James Bratsanos and to Joe for sending photos so far. The two above are from James – first the wide view of all five, then a closer look at two of the Chinooks and the (Blackhawk?).
12:28 PM: More info in comments – including Jim Clark spotting what might be the answer to the question of what this was about.
12:33 PM: Further verification of what Jim found – a program on that Facebook page says Special Forces from JBLM were to fly by/in (Paine Field in Snohomish County), with "Chinooks x 4."
2 West Seattle Crime Watch notes – an incident this evening plus an SPD stats/trends update:
GATEWOOD BURGLARY: A neighbor texted us (206-293-6302 any time) about that big police response near 41st/Elmgrove in Gatewood [map] around 6 pm. When we went over to check, police told us they were checking out a burglar alarm but hadn't yet found evidence of a break-in; no one was home. Later, though, it was confirmed as a burglary, according to neighbors and to SPD's automated Tweets by Beat. That was the first confirmed West Seattle burglary, per TBB, since one reported at noon yesterday in the 8400 block of 12th SW.
STATS/TRENDS: Today's edition of the every-two-weeks SeaStat SPD-wide briefing includes a page of year-to-year and week-to-week stats for the Southwest Precinct, which includes West Seattle and South Park – scroll through this slide deck to the very last page. Year-to-year – January 1st through May 9th this year, compared to the same period last year – every category except aggravated domestic-violence assault is up. (Though there's no breakdown per precinct sectors, we know that the breakdown in one category – no 2014 homicides in West Seattle and none so far this year; the one 2015 homicide listed for the SW Precinct was in SP.) In the week-by-week stats for the past month, all categories are trending downward (or holding at zero) except for larceny, which was up from 12 in the third week to 13 in the fourth week.
One note tonight, from a Gatewood resident who's wondering if the same hit-run driver had any other victims:
Unfortunately, our neighbor's car got hit quite badly about 7:40 pm this evening by someone driving out of control down Rose near 39th. It was a gray SUV. We have of course called the police and our neighbor found the car at 44th and Portland without the driver. The reason I am writing is we heard a loud boom about 5 minutes prior to the hit and run. Please share with the police if your car was stolen or if your car was also hit in the Gatewood area.
Right before Seattle Public Schools got out for spring break (which lasts all of next week), Gatewood Elementary students got to show off their projects for the 4th annual Science Palooza. Here are some highlights from Thursday night's event, shared by Nicole Sipila, who chaired the science fair:
We had 69 kids with 48 projects. The kids really stepped up the projects this year and everybody was really impressed.
Simone & Delaney exploring sound with their project, The Pitch of Pipes:
… More than just your average volcano replica, Kailey, Hailey, and Hudson made a model of Mt. St. Helens and showed how much of the mountain was lost and the effects of the lahar:
… We also had some exciting guests. UW Material Advantage was on hand to demonstrate material science applications at a graduate school level. Most popular were the semi-conductors.
… Also, Gatewood's choir, conducted by Mr. Hall, performed the National Anthem to kick start the evening and then came back later to perform two more songs.
It was an amazing night of science learning & sharing, along with a great community building event. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped put this wonderful evening together.
9:18 PM: Auto thieves have hit one family in Gatewood twice in the past three days. The vehicles taken from their driveway/carport are a taupe 2006 Volvo XC70, license plate AMR4548, stolen Friday morning, and a silver 2006 Nissan Frontier 4-door pickup, license plate B31289L, gone since early today. The vehicles' owners say there was nothing about the first theft that facilitated the second – no key left in either car, for example. If you see either vehicle, please call 911.
9 AM MONDAY: The vehicles' owner says they both were found in an apartment-building parking lot in the 6500 block of 35th SW, less than a mile away from where they were stolen: "Someone in the apartments called to report the Volvo as a suspicious vehicle. When we arrived, we saw the truck parked in another stall. The Volvo was driven more than 150 miles and contained a lot of drug and DNA evidence. Unfortunately, there were no clean prints. The truck had more of the same drug evidence, it wasn't driven more than 20+ miles."
(West side of Myrtle Reservoir site, where work is likely to be staged)
By Tracy Record
West Seattle Blog editor
Nine months after Seattle Public Utilities discussed the earthquake-resistance retrofit needed for West Seattle Reservoir in Highland Park, we know what's in store for our area's other underground water facility, Myrtle Reservoir.
Myrtle was covered in 2008, West Seattle in 2010. Then in 2012, their designer, MWH, told the city about "possible seismic deficiencies" in their work – not potentially catastrophic, but not something that could be ignored, either. Analysis and testing ensued, and in June of last year, we reported on the retrofit/strengthening plan for WS Reservoir, interviewing reps from SPU and its consultants.
At the time, they didn't know exactly what would need to be done to Myrtle Reservoir, a relatively small reservoir (5 million gallons) at the city's highest point on the east side of the Gatewood neighborhood. Now they do.

Wow, I've been running into all sorts of problems this week. And it's always dumb crap I shoulda noticed. Bad week I guess. But I'm still being dumb, so I'll ask for help again.
I would like to clean up my functions.php...so I'm trying to move my admin options stuff from functions.php to it's own file. When I do, it breaks. The admin menu works great and all options save..... but if I offload it to its own file, and bring it in like this:
require_once ( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/admin-options.php' );
The admin menu loads and works, until I try to save. Then I get the 'You do not have sufficient priviledges' error
Any idea what I should change to be able to offload this to its own file?
Here's the actual admin menu code:
I'm not sure if it's the require once bit I load it in with, or maybe the lines down after 316 where it looks to be saving?
Thanks once again for helping me understand the stuff I piece together!

I set the CSS for my h1-6 as: #333. About a week ago, it started rendering in red text:
Can I override this with a child theme? I should have set it up from the start, but was new to the child theme practice.
I just want the titles to render in the #333 again.
Thank you!

Marion County Park Receives A Facelift
Published March 26th, 2010
A park in Marion County is showing off its new look after undergoing major renovations.
Brick City Adventure Park in Ocala had visitors enjoying the new playground and checking out some of the improvements such as a baseball diamond, a football field and improved nature trails.
Officials say spending the money to improve parks in a tough economy is important for the community.
The renovations started in October 2008. About $322,000 was spent on the upgrades.
For more information on all the repairs and upcoming events at the park, visit MarionCountyFL.org.

Or trade for an extra pick at some point and use a late round pick on a tackle. It's not like we have a whole plethora of depth and talent at the tackle position anyway. Yeah late round rbs will barely contribute, especially if stew is healthy.

I've got one big problem that I simply can't solve. I got a HP Pavilion dv6 Laptop and it runs Linux Mint Debian Edition. This Laptop runs a hybrid graphics system and I want to switch off the discrete card as it is an AMD Radeon and it simply does not work very well with Linux - it overheats to about 90°Celcius but is not used at all by the OS.
I tried
echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch with proper file permissions and I went trough a few tutorials witch told me the exact same thing. The only problem is that the turorials worked and by machine goes to some kind of shell prompt after I ran the command. It shows any kinds of system messages and stuff and fan speed increases but the whole desktop environment crashes and the system won't even allow me to switch to command line mode and log in. It shows system messages, freezes and tries to cool down (which I think means that the discrete card is switched off).
I would be very thankful for your help because I'm trying to fix this problem for a few weeks now. Thank's in advance.

French infidelity presents an opportunity for all sorts of deviate sexual interludes, as a young married couple attempt to save their foundering marriage by attending a mansion populated by a manipulative cult of obscene aggressors. While the tender young bride enjoys the tasty cunt of her hostess, the horny husband joins the host in anally corrupting a big-titted, redheaded party guest. Group sex, sadomasochism, and a healthy share of voyeurism help to fulfill the now-experienced bride's peculiar but sex-enriched education. Bizarre fetish costumes, sometimes violently ripped from the ladies' bodies, contribute to a kinky European experience that challenges those conventions that often restrictively minimize the impact of the more mundane, mainstream American porn.

Posted August 22nd, 2014 @ 6:02am
It is with heavy hearts that we must share the sad news of the passing of a great woman. Her name was "Spurs Mary", a long time listener of the show. She passed away last night at the age of 82. She'd call us every morning after a Spurs game and give us a recap. We use to call her the happiest woman on earth! She was always so excited and happy to talk about her Spurs whether they won or lost. Other listeners LOVED hearing her on the air and would often call in to talk about her. We will miss you Spurs Mary!!! We know you'll be watching future Spurs games from up above!

I have found a bit of a problem thus:
If someone creates a ticket with a certain status say 'Request'. After reviewing the ticket I then accept it and change its status to 'Accepted'. At some time later I then go back to the ticket to change the status to 'In Progress' WordPress gets angry and says this:

The settings I use are always
- no resize
- link to the image
- Style override with no background image
The following issues should be fixed.
What I expect to see in any preview is a scaled version of the presentation screen when that slide is sent there. To me it seems obvious that the resize options refer to the presentation screen, not any scaled versions of the presentation screen. Any preview should newer differ from the presentation except in size; aperture, aspect and content should always match.
These issues are not new to the 2.0 beta. They were there in 1.7 and probably before.

Add support for compressors/minimizers to django.contrib.staticfiles
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
It's common practice to use programs like jsmin and yui-compresser in order to compress JS and CSS files to reduce traffic and accelerate the parsing. Usually you wold compress those files when deploying the web project. When you are using django.contrib.staticfiles that would be just before or after you have called the collectstatic management command. So I thought it would be great if that mangement command could do that for you and have written the patch attached to this ticket. It adds a new setting STATICFILES_COMPRESSORS. It's a dictionary mapping filename extensions to command lines used to compress files with that extension. You can use any external program that takes the raw file on stdin and outputs compressed file to stdout. So for example if you would like to use yui-compressor, you only have to add following to your settings module.
STATICFILES_COMPRESSORS = { 'js': 'yui-compressor --type js', 'css': 'yui-compressor --type css', }

- milestone 1.3 deleted
- Needs documentation unset
- Needs tests unset
- Patch needs improvement unset
- Triage Stage changed from Unreviewed to Accepted
Accepting the broad concept. However, this will require a lot of thought, because there are lots of compression tools, and they have different requirements. I'm fully in favor of adding a hook to make it easy to use these compressors, but we need to make sure the hook will actually do everything it needs to do.
It's certainly not on the 1.3 milestone, though. It's a new feature for staticfiles, not a defect in the existing feature.
comment:2 Changed 5 years ago by sebastian_noack
Every compression tool I have seen so far is able to read a file from stdin and to write the output to stdout. So I think that my patch is flexible enough for most programs. That way you can use the most common tools without the need to write a function that calls the external program. Also note that if you still want use a compressor that does not work that way you can wrap it with a simple script.
comment:3 Changed 5 years ago by jezdez
- Resolution set to wontfix
- Status changed from new to closed
I'm strongly opposed to adding more than the collectstatic command to staticfiles due to the fact that there are various post processing workflows that could be applied to the collected files, not all of which are enough to be called in the serial manner collectstatic works. In other words, there is nothing that prevents you right now to do this during the rest of your deployment (see Fabric examples in our docs).
And even then, there already *is* a hook to enable post processing: the STATICFILES_STORAGE setting (http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/staticfiles/#staticfiles-storage)
Marking as wontfix, please reopen in case there is a usecase that can't be implemented in a custom storage backend or an external script.

Hiccup facts
- A hiccup is a sudden, involuntary contraction (spasm) of the diaphragm muscle. When the muscle spasms, the vocal cords snap shut, producing the hiccup sound.
- Common causes of hiccups include:
- eating too quickly, eating or drinking too much,
- diseases that irritate the nerves that control the diaphragm,
- abdominal surgery,
- strokes or
- brain tumors,
- noxious fumes, and
- certain medications.
- Most cases of hiccups can be cured or resolve in a short period of time and are rarely a medical emergency. See your doctor if hiccups last more than three hours, or if they disturb your eating or sleeping habits.
- Home remedies or ways to get rid of hiccups include: holding your breath, drinking a glass of water quickly, pulling hard on your tongue, biting on a lemon, gargling with water, and using smelling salts.
- Rarely, a doctor may prescribe medications such as chlorpromazine (Thorazine), haloperidol (Haldol), and metoclopramide (Reglan) for severe, persistent hiccups.
- Hiccups can be prevented by avoiding overeating, eating too quickly, or drinking too much to help prevent hiccups. Continue Reading

Hi, I recently upgraded my WordPress to the newest version 3.5 and when I try to insert any sort of media (in my case pictures), and/or hyperlinks nothing happens when I click the button to do so...it just sits on the same screen and is completely unresponsive. I have the same problem with trying to view my posts in the HTLM (now "Text") view when I am trying to create new posts. Not once did I have this problem with the earlier versions of WordPress.
Please help, seeing as I cannot really keep my blog up-to-date, or do anything to update my blog when I am unable to create posts.

He's worse than a Muslim: he's a Demcocrate!
So you identify it as a smear, but can you clarify whether Dan Savage approves or disapproves of smear tactics?
According to the website, you can let the Clark County Republican Party know what you think in these ways. EMAIL: email@example.com; PHONE: (360) 695-1609; LETTERS: 7736 NE Hazel Dell Ave, Vancouver WA 98665.
If you go to the website, you can of course write them a little email letting them know what you think of that "article."
Of course they are; they'd rather run against Hillary. Otherwise, they'd be waiting a couple weeks before smearing him.
Racist bastards.
Now be kind. Republicans are mentally ill.
ugh. i don't know what's more upsetting ... that reps stoop to this level, or that they might actually believe it's true, or -- the worst -- that this tactic might prove successful (again).
This is exactly why I can only stare at amazement when people say we have to nominate Obama because he's more "electable" than Hillary. He has never been up against anything like the massive--and massively unethical--unseen forces that would be raging against him in the general election. On what basis do people believe he can overcome them? How will he counter his name, his skin color, and the "otherness" his opponents will create around him? When Hillary says she has "experience," she's not just talking about time in office. She's talking about her decades-long battle against these lying sacks of shit.
That's "in amazement."
They make sure to include the middle name Hussein for some extra ZING
I called their office and they claim they have never posted anything about Barrack. I told him the address and he denied it... then asked if I were a Republican... I said yes... which he then said who did I vote for last time, and the time before, and then he kept saying "I am not going to take harrassing phone calls"
I suggest everyone continue to call this idiot... he claims he creates the content for the site.

Yes, this is hugely dishonest and reprehensible. And I hope it further damages the Republicans' reputation.
However, Slog has also been less than honest here. The "Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background" is a *partial* quote which omits an (admittedly weasely, but still extant) "Some say that..." at the beginning.
This kind of thing reflects badly enough on those who perpetrate it. The full quote is bad enough; there is no reason to edit it to make it even worse.
Some say that Clark County Senators Don Benton and Joseph Zarelli are lovers:
Clark County Senators Don Benton and Joseph Zarelli are lovers.
You are now free to ask the Clark County GOP about that....
I love how Republicans confuse Obama with Keith Ellison on the whole "sworn into office with a Koran." Dumbfucks can't even tell one black person apart from another. Or they know their audience is retarded rednecks who won't care *where* they heard about a black man using a Koran, just that they heard it somewhere.
And yes, Obamatons, your candidate will get just as Swiftboated as Clinton. His sincerity and articulate passion will mean nothing to the Republicans. If they could shoot down Harold Ford with a *joke* about "miscegenation", what do you think they are going to do to a Black presidential candidate? For those crackers, it's going to be enough that Obama's *parents* were different colors.
This is not a reason not to support him, but don't keep echoing bullshit about how less polarized politics would be with Obama in the general election. It will be polarized either way because Republicans are evil crazy fuckers.
yessiree that's right.
this float above it all baloney plays well among the coasts, the college educated, the hip zip codes.
but it'll be smahsed into pieces by the GOP just like they smashed McGovern and Dukakis. And Kerry. And Gore.
WE need a goddamn street fighter like that b____ Clinton.
Where's ELI?! I can't believe we didn't get a live slog tonight on this debate. It was great!
Big Sven @15:
And yes, Obamatons, your candidate will get just as Swiftboated as Clinton.
Based on what has gone down so far, I can promise that if the general election pits Clinton (God forbid) and McCain against each other, the swift-boating will be taking place on behalf of the Clintons.
It appears that, if there's anything the Clinton machine has learned from George W. Bush's success, it is to out-Rove Rove.
@18 McCain has learned too, at least if SC is any indication
It wouldn't kill them to learn how to type.
oh, i got a response:
"Adam, I would be interested to know specificallyy what you consider to be factually incorrect?.
(By the way, throwing out the race card is always used by left wing radicals when they are -unable to intellectually debate the issues.)
The Republican Party is a party of all races. In fact President Bush has more Africa -Americans in his Cabinet that any of his Democrat predecessors (including Bill Clinton). You might want to educate yourself on issues of race by reading the book written by prominent African- American author Wayne Perryman titled "Unfounded Loyalty".
We have no issue with Obama's race whatsoever. (This must be what Hillary Clinton has to put up with in her race. Ridiculous charges of racism, not by her opponent, but by people like yourself ready and willing to fan the flames of racism where it does not exist.)
In researching his upbringing there is reason to wonder if he may feel a certain loyalty to a religion that has a faction that has vowed to destroy America. Read the article again Adam, do your own research on his background and then get back to me with specific facts that are not correct and if I am convinced it is factually incorrect, I will be happy to make the correction. "
"How will he counter his name, his skin color, and the "otherness" his opponents will create around him?" You are absolutely right, Matthew @9. Since the Republicans are sure to make an issue of these things, we Democrats simply have no choice but to nominate white people with comfortable, Anglo-sounding names. Whew, I feel much better already.
The Africa-Americans aren't members of the Democrat party?
@23 He is a Democrate get it right damn it.
The Chair of the Grays Harbor Republicans did the same thing. The local paper took her to task:
Snopes.com has an excellent take-down of this post/chain e-mail message (it's been forwarded to me verbatim).
1. So, you agree finally that Obama will be swiftboated?
2. What are these Rovian attacks by the Clintons you are complaining about? Don't just throw mud out there. Be specific. What in tarnation you talking about??
(Throwing mud ....not being specific...hmm who does that remind us of....?)
Please stop fighting brothers. We need to calm down, man. I'd finish this thought but my dog is in the subaru and we have to find a way to get coffee and kayak/run in the park.
Besides we have reservations for 8pm, could we hurry this up?
UnPC, I think you have a point, but it takes two parties to swift boat. Kerry wouldn't get down and dirty to fight those guys.
Whether Barak will remains to be seen.
AND, the article is down. suddenly, there is a different article with the same time stamp. apparently, they've been running an article about a canadian's perspective on the election since 1/17, and we are all just crazy.
Hey KK@22:
Don't shoot the messenger, man (or woman..."KK" isn't very specific). It's not my fault this country might not be ready to elect a black man with a foreign-sounding name. I hope I'm wrong, I swear to God I do. And if Obama gets the nom, I'll go to the mat for him, no question. But as Big Sven said, there are still quite a few "retarded rednecks" out there who aren't looking for--or even hoping for--big breakthroughs in racial acceptance. Quite the opposite, actually.
We should have learned already, from the 2004 election, how backwards and stupid, how overtly fearful the general populace is out there. It's not my fault; at this moment in history, it's just true.
We'll get there, and we should continue striving to get there. But with the problems we have facing us over the next decade, is now the time to try and push the cultural envelope, or should we just make sure we get someone reasonably progressive in there who can get shit done?
I don't want to deal with President Right-Wing Asshat for 8 years because we're too idealistic. Do you?
@31: So basically, let's all race to the bottom? Yeah, that's a great plan. I particularly like the part where the Republicans portray Democrats as spineless sellouts who will compromise their ideals to get votes. That plays REAL WELL.
I particularly like the part where the Republicans portray Democrats as spineless sellouts who will compromise their ideals to get votes.
What are you talking about? Republicants aren't that subtle. They portray Democrats as wimps, traitors, Communists, and pedophiles.
The argument you're talking about is used by progressives against pragmatists such as myself and 95% of the rest of the HRC supporters.
Greg @32:
Putting forth an electable candidate isn't the same thing as being a "spineless sellout" (like most members of the Democratic Congress have been). Aren't we bring uncomprimising enough trying to elect the first female president? Get off your fucking high horse and deal with reality.

New Jersey WILD Outdoor Expo Legacy
The New Jersey WILD Outdoor Expo is the maturation of the Wildlife Heritage Festival, which the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Division of Fish and Wildlife has hosted since 2002 at the Pequest Trout Hatchery and Natural Resource Education Center in Oxford, NJ.
The Wildlife Heritage Festival was held on the last Saturday in September to recognize and celebrate National Hunting and Fishing Day and to increase awareness and a sense of stewardship in participants toward New Jersey's fish and wildlife resources. The attending public had the opportunity to: try their hand at shooting sports, practice spin casting techniques and learn about New Jersey's natural history along with a host of other environmentally relevant content.
In an effort to broaden the scope of the Wildlife Heritage Festival to include non-consumptive activities and a larger diversity of outdoor recreation instruction, the Department's Division of Fish and Wildlife partnered with the Division of Parks and Forestry and the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey to hold the first New Jersey Wild Outdoor Expo in September 2010.
This larger Expo event still coincides with National Hunting and Fishing Day and is held in a centrally located part of the state, at the Colliers Mills Wildlife Management Area in Jackson Township, in order to be accessible to residents throughout New Jersey.

AmfAR has announced it will honor the late Natasha Richardson at its annual gala, on Feb. 10, to kick off New York City's Fashion Week.
Richardson's mother, Vanessa Redgrave, along with Meryl Streep and amfAR founding chairman Dr. Mathilde Krim will take part in the tribute. Redgrave and Natasha s sister, Joely Richardson, are co-chairs of the event.
Richardson joined AmfAR's board of trustess in 2006. In 1999, she was the driving force behind "Unforgettable: Fashion of the Oscars," an auction of Academy Award gowns that raised more than $1.5 million for AIDS research. It was a cause she was passionate about. Her father, the Oscar-winning British film director Tony Richardson (Tom Jones), died of AIDS-related causes in 1991.
"Natasha was an eloquent and persuasive spokesperson for amfAR," said chairman of the board Kenneth Cole. "Her unique combination of passion, grace, and intelligence made her the perfect ambassador for the fight against AIDS."
The black-tie dinner and auction will also include special performances by M A C Viva Glam spokesperson Lady Gaga and Rufus Wainwright.
Richardson, who died on March 18, 2009, suffered a fatal brain injury after a fall while skiing on Mount Tremblant, Quebec. She is survived by her husband, Liam Neeson, and their two sons, Micheal 14, and Daniel 13.

Campus Food:
The food can be very good or very bad. There is no in between
Drug Safety:
I wouldn't say there's an overuse of drugs on campus. There might be people who do drugs other than alcohol, but overall it's not all that noticeable. The most noticeable one is definitely alcohol.
The financial aid process was pretty straight forward. FAFSA may or may not help some people, but there are other ways of getting financial aid. The school has several other scholarships that students can apply for.
The weather is not all that much different from Chicago weather, so if you're from Chicago you don't really have to worry about adjusting to new weather. It's usually warmer in both summer and winter but only by a couple degrees.
Campus Food:
there are several dining halls and they all have different kinds of food. Some are healthier than others, but you can always go to the one of your choice. They usually have some variety. PAR is one of people's favorites, they have a pretty broad menu and it's a late night option which is great.
Transportation within campus is really not a problem. There's buses all the time. They have stops outside most resident halls, and they make stops at most major buildings. They can be a bit confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it, you can get anywhere on time. Long distance transportation is also not much of a problem. If you have friends going the same way and have a car you can always share a ride. There's also a facebook page where random people find other people to ride with if they're going the same way. There's also bus services that go out all the time in case you don't have your own transportation.
There's plenty of computers on campus that students can use however, during finals week it's hard to find one available in the library, but most dorms have a computer lab, and sometimes people seem to forget about those. As for printing, pretty much anywhere there's a computer there's usually also a printer. They do charge for printing and the price varies depending on the location, and ink color, and number of pages printed, but it's not a fortune.
Campus Housing:
Living on campus is not bad at all. It's a great way to meet new people and make friends. However there are some dorms that seem to be more social than others. The rooms are not the biggest, but realistically you don't really need all that much space, and you learn to get used to it very quick. The food is also not that bad, PAR has great food in my opinion, and f you ever get bored of something you can always go to a different dining hall they usually have different things.
Guys & Girls:
Most guys and girls have descent looks, and there are some pretty cool, outgoing, friendly people on campus.
Local Area:
The campus is very beautiful, full of old buildings and gorgeous set-ups. It is very easy to find out about events happening on campus, and they are very common. The main stores and restaurants are all located on Green St, and this is fairly in the middle of campus (right by the quad). Buses are available to go to the mall and other restaurants off campus, but is usually not necessary with all of the stores we have. Sports are very popular and highly supported. The recreational center on campus is very large and has many courts and machines available for use. This center is included in our tuition so it is available for all students.
Guys & Girls:
Everyone on campus has different styles and are typically not very judgmental towards others. If anything, it often makes people respected. In class, people are often down to business and quiet, but outside of classes most people are very outgoing and easy to talk to. There are countless attractive males on campus, it's almost overwhelming! ;-)
This school is very expensive in my opinion, but yet worth every penny. I am receiving some financial aid, although I could use quite a bit more. I also applied for other scholarships outside of the school and received a couple of those.
Health & Safety:
I feel very safe on campus. I always choose to walk at night with a buddy just in case, but I have never personally experienced anything dangerous.
Greek Life:
Greek life is very popular at this school. However, there are many people who choose not to join as well. I am a member of a sorority and I absolutely love it. I have met countless new friends that I know I will grow close to over the next four years. I have been involved with a lot of community service and fun activities with my sorority sisters. It is always a good time with them, and I am so happy that I decided to join. I am pretty sure that all sororities have housing available for the members. Some chapters make it required for the members to live in the house for at least one school year, while some do not. While some are pretty expensive to be a part of, the price usually comes with a lot and is understandable. Some chapters offer financial help and have scholarships available to apply for. I love Greek life!
I do not think the campus is too strict. They have rules and regulations for our own safety and I do not see them as hard to follow.
The bus system cost is included in tuition, so that is nice. The buses are very convenient and fast. It is very easy to read the bus apps to get you around campus and find bus stops and times. I have also taken a bus off campus to the mall and a restaurant with friends and it turned out to be way easier than expected. I have only taken a taxi once, and it was pretty slow to come get us, but that is expected on a Saturday night. I think it is incredibly easy to get around such a large campus.
I am a person who only enjoys the warm weather, but the winter and fall have not been bad at all. As soon as it started getting below freezing and snowing, I just took the bus to my classes. The bus is fast and very easy to use. The campus actually formed a campus-wide snowball fight on the quad with hundreds of student that showed up, and I had a blast.
Off-Campus Housing:
I will not live in off-campus housing until probably my junior year, but I do know many older friends who currently live in apartments. They all seem to be nice and close, but you just must apply early because it is competitive to find them.
I would say that the University of Illinois is probably one of the most diverse campuses, and I am sure that many others would agree with me. This campus has international students everywhere. In a large lecture class, there can be almost half of the class as international students. In smaller classrooms, there is usually at least one. I have met countless Asians, a few Polish people, as well as Mexians, and one person from London. With this also comes many different religions.
Drug Safety:
I would say that there is more alcohol use on campus than drug use. At least from what I hear about and see. Drinking is pretty popular actually, it is pretty common for younger students to get alcohol from older students. However, I have never seen and drugs with my own eyes, just heard people talking about marijuana a few times. There is an alcohol class at the beginning of the year that is required for all new student to take for just a couple hours for one night. There, we learn about many of the consequences of drinking, but also about the help of rides and people that can help if something bad happens.
I am not currently in an internship, but I do know many people in my major that have internships. It does not seem hard to get one in my opinion and through observations, but I am sure it cannot be that simple. They always involve interviews and applications and can be pretty competitive, and are most often not paid.
I would say it is pretty necessary to have a computer at school, but I guess that it would probably also depend on your major and classes. My economics class had a lot of the information and assignments online, so it was definitely necessary for that class. However, my math class was basically all in class, taking notes, with only a few emails about dates and grades. The libraries and most dorms provide free printing, although some just provide the ink and you provide the paper (easy enough). The network is very easy to connect to, although sometime it is much faster than other times. In my dorm, the wireless internet seems to be slower than other buildings on campus, but if I connect to an Ethernet cable it speeds up.
Campus Housing:
I absolutely love living on campus. I live in a private dorm and have met many of my new best friends in the dorm. The rules are very easy to follow and understandable. Food is delicious, rooms are definitely nice and big (I live in a triple room-it isn't crowded at all!). The quad and other classroom buildings are all within 4-8 minutes walking distance. Same distance goes for most restaurants and stores. The bus system is also very convenient and easy to catch on to. The bus apps for cell phones are very helpful and have always been accurate timing in my experiences riding them. The cost is somewhat expensive to live in dorms, but it is definitely worth it and comes with a lot (food, heat/air conditioning, maid service, free printing, free newspapers, swimming pool, workout room, pool table and ping pong table, study hours in the cafeteria with snacks, etc). I love it all!
The bus system is free for all students. It can be beneficial when one doesn't want to walk in the heat or cold. However, one should not be dependent on the bus system because oftentimes they are late.
Drug Safety:
There is a much larger social drinking scene than drugs. Drugs are much less common than alcohol.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
One might expect some tentative and even negative opinions about any school, but this is truly not the case here at U of I. Students are proud of U of I's history, proud of is academic accomplishments, proud of the social opportunities it offers, and, most of all, they are proud to be alumni. For so many students to view their choice to come here as an unequivocally good one is a fantastic testament to the University's strength.
Of course students here have plenty to complain about—the weather, the parking, the Greek social scene, the rural location. But all things considered, the positive points of the U of I experience tipped the scale—the University's academic excellency, the safety, the social atmosphere, the athletic tradition, the city's excellent transportation system. Some students admitted that they had a hard time adjusting, that they occasionally wished they had made another decision—but in the end, they were all happy to be here. The most encouraging fact was that so many people mentioned that they were leaving as better people, more knowledgeable, eclectic, and better equipped to navigate through life. University of Illinois students do not just leave with a piece of paper in their hands, they leave with a wealth of experience that is not easily rivaled—and, for in-staters, without enormous debt burdens to face when they graduate.

SDCC: "Thor: Ragnarok" Props Confirm "Planet Hulk" Elements
Film, Comic Books
All-New Doop (Marvel): It's perfectly appropriate for any series starring peripheral X-Men character Doop to be a weird one, however, the miniseries collected in this trade paperback is weird in a weird way.
Doop was created by writer Peter Milligan and artist Mike Allred for their iconoclastic (and somewhat -controversial) 2001 X-Force run, which was then relaunched under the name The X-Statix. The premise involved a group of celebrity-wannabe mutants who used their powers for fame and fortune by starring in a reality show; holding the camera was a mysterious, gross, floating, potato-shaped green creature that spoke its own, indecipherable language and answered to the name Doop.
Milligan imagined a dramatic behind-the-scenes life for the character in a two-part, 2003 Wolverine/Doop miniseries, and writer Jason Aaron ran with the joke, including Doop as a member of the faculty at the Jean Grey School during his Wolverine and The X-Men run. For the most part, Doop functioned as a background joke, one more signifier of the zany environment of the new school for young mutants, though Aaron did pair with Doop's co-creator Allred for a one-issue story that focused on the character as a behind-the-scenes, floating potato-thing-of-all-trades.
Milligan returns to the character for this miniseries, in which Allred only provides the covers, while David LaFuente draws the majority of the art. Milligan takes Doop's behind-the-scenes portfolio to an extreme, marking him as a character capable of traveling through "The Marginalia," entering and exiting the comic-book tales in order to influence their outcome.
The story Doop influences here is "Battle of the Atom," the Brian Michael Bendis-helmed X-Men crossover that involved Cyclops' X-Men team, Wolverine's X-Men team and an X-Men team from the future engaged in a fight over what to do with the teenage original X-Men plucked out of the Silver Age and currently hanging around the present.
Courtesy of Neil Gaiman, we're treated to an all-too-brief preview, with the covers, of P. Craig Russell's adaptation of The Graveyard Book, the author's award-winning 2008 children's novel.
Russell, a longtime Gaiman collaborator, is joined on the two-volume graphic novel by an impressive roster of artists, each illustrating one chapter: Kevin Nowlan, Tony Harris, Scott Hampton, Galen Showman, Jill Thompson and Stephen B. Scott on the first book, and David Lafuente, Hampton, Nowlan and Showman on the second.
The first volume will be released on July 29, followed by the second on Sept. 30.
Epic artist P. Craig Russell has become well known for his collaborations with author Neil Gaiman over the past couple of decades, and in recent years he's adapted several of the author's short stories and prose novels into comics form. But now for his next hat trick, he's enlisted a Magnificent
Seven Nine-esque group of artists to illustrate individual chapters for his adaptation of Gaiman's celebrated 2008 children's fantasy novel The Graveyard Book, announced in June.
As Russell told Comic Book Resources in a weekend interview, he's writing the script and doing the layouts for the 352-page book, with a murderer's row of artists coming in behind him to illustrate it. Joining Russell is Michael Golden, David LaFuente, Jill Thompson, Kevin Nowlan, Tony Harris, Galen Showman and Scott Hampton. Russell said Hampton's contribution will be about 100 pages, and that Nowlan is drawing the first story.
Note: Due to some unforeseen transcription issues, the Steve Rude interview promised for this week won't be published until next Friday.
Spanish artist David Lafuente is one of those creators who burst into the American comics scene like a shooting star, first glimmering with 2008's Patsy Walker: Hellcat and then shining with blinding amount talent in 2009's Ultimate Comics Spider-Man. After his run on that title ended in late 2010, Lafuente followed that with covers for various Marvel series and a brief run on a group of characters close to his heart, the New Mutants. Since then, new work released by this artist has primarily been online on his blog and his recently ended art blog group the Sindiecate. What has he been working on in this down time? Creator-owned comics.
When I reached out to Lafuente to do this interview, I hoped to find out more about his upcoming series Home Run with Jonathan Ross, but what I ended up with was that — and a whole lot more.
In what ended up being David's most extensive interview ever, we talked about not one but three new creator-owned series he's working on, as well as his reflections on his heady rise to fame at Marvel and how he isn't done yet with the House of Ideas.
It must be hard work keeping these group sketch blogs going. While some keep ticking along like clockwork (Eclectic Micks, Scotch Corner), some other favorites have been on lengthy, near catatonic, hiatuses (What Not, Comic Twart). David LaFuente has posted an announcement on The Sindiecate that, after one year of regularly promoting indie comics through character sketches, they've decided to call it a day:
Lafuente here with a final report.
THE SINDIECATE is closing down its doors. This month marks the first year of the collective authors and initiative to pay tribute to independent comics. And it's a good moment to call it a day.
Thanks to Jorge Muñoz, James Harren, Mike Choi, Ryan Ottley, Colleen Coover, Matteo Scalera for joining me on this project. It's great to look back on that idea I had for the website and see what has become thanks to them.
And thanks to the people who liked our homages, helped spread the word and maybe make some new readers for the indie authors behind the books.
Adios! : )
Perhaps their mission has been accomplished: certainly, Indie comics do seem to be in a healthier state now than even a year ago. High profile writers and artists seem to be flocking back in that direction, and with the massive sales numbers of The Walking Dead #100, the zeitgeist's pendulum seems to swung further to the side of creator-owned than anytime since the early 1990s.
If there's anything that comic readers know, it's that there's nothing better than a good team-up. And now five artists — Mike Choi, David LaFuente, Ryan Ottley, Jorge F. Munoz and James Harren — combine their forces like some sort of drawing version of Captain Planet to form the web collective known as the Sindiecate.
Carrying on in the tradition of other group sketchblogs like Comic Twart and SkottieScott, this quintet of artists are banding together to tackle a different topic each week. For this fivesome, they're focusing on independent comic books and authors with their inaugural week to cover Todd Dezago and Mike Wieringo's Tellos.
Seeing the art already on display, it's creating fond memories for Tellos and Wieringo, and dreaming up what these five guys could cover next. Might I suggest Xenozoic Tales?

Is there some device/setting where i go to some place where there is an existing WLAN. I would then connect some WLAN router/special device to that WLAN to gain internet access. Now i want that device to create another WLAN to which my other devices can connect. Thus i could setup my devices to connect to my WLAN router/device and only that device would need to connect to the existing other device.
In best case as a fallback some 3G card/umts stick could be used in that device as well.
//Edit: adding some information about use case. I have multiple devices. I want to connect them only once - to my WLAN router. That router would handle to go to the internet. And in most of my cases that internet is available via WLAN. As there are a bunch of devices i want to avoid to enter the credentials into all of them.
As for operating system - the devices are a mix of ios, android and windows phone. I would have some laptop with Windows 7/8.
