HILLVIEW -- It was a childhood memory that helped inspire Jerry Webb Jr. to create his first comic book series--Vengeance.
"When I was really little, I played with action figures and I had one character who didn't belong to any other set," he said. "I would make him do amazing things. I called him Vengeance."
Last January he was visiting some family in Albany, Ky., when he came up with the idea.
Each year, BBB receives calls after the holidays from upset consumers who are stuck with items they cannot return. This holiday season, BBB wants to remind consumers to know their rights. BBB offers this advice on returns/exchanges:
Returns are a store policy – not a law. Find out about a store's return policies before making a purchase. Some stores require products be returned within a specific period of time.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Like cramming for a final exam, members of the Bullitt County Education Development Corp. are quickly moving forward with plans to construct a college facility.
In its first meeting, the corporation set in place a number of committees with a goal to have things in place for receiving state approval on the $24-$28 million facility by mid-April.
BBB is warning, if you shopped at Target lately, CHECK YOUR ACCOUNTS. The store announced it has been hit by a major credit-card attack involving up to 40 million consumer accounts. The credit card breach took place between November 27 and December 15, 2013. It involves the theft of information stored on the magnetic stripe on the backs of cards used at nearly all of Target's stores around the country.
BBB offers these tips:
PIONEER VILLAGE - Work done to improve the city boundaries has reaped some initial benefits for Pioneer Village.
But there are hopes that even more insurance tax revenues might be coming the city's way in the next quarter.
Having redone its surveyed city boundaries, Pioneer Village city clerk Recka Daniels said that an increase of about $8,000 was realized in the insurance tax premiums.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - By the time Bullitt Fiscal Court met on Dec. 3, the paperwork was in place that would get an organization - formed to have a community college facility built - in operation.
The paperwork needed to begin the Bullitt County Education Development Corporation was ready and Bullitt Fiscal Court unanimously approved of its creation.
John Snider, executive director of the Bullitt County Economic Development Authority and organizer of the efforts to build a college facility, said a single resolution would need approval.
MOUNT WASHINGTON- The community recently got a sweet addition to its business district. Sweet Sprinkles Bakery opened up shop at 435 North Bardstown Road Suite 2.
The owner, Malinda Polly, said she has always loved to bake, but spent about 17 years in the medical field before she pursued it as a career.
"This what I really want to do, this makes me happy," she said.
LEBANON JUNCTION - A city in Bullitt County took a big step toward what officials hope will bring more growth to their town.
Mayor Butch Sweat signed an agreement with the Louisville Water Co. to become the primary provider of water to the city of Lebanon Junction.
Sweat said he's been working on this effort for about six years now and he's glad to see it finally come together.
"It's a happy day for me," he said.
Lebanon Junction began purchasing a part of its supply from Louisville Water in 2000.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Two agencies with a keen interest in the passage of a new county comprehensive land-use map will be sure to make their views known prior to the final adoption.
Kriss Lowry & Associates has been contracted to update the county's comprehensive land-use plan.
On Thursday, Dec. 12, Lowry is expected to bring a final draft version to the Bullitt County Joint Planning Commission at its 7 p.m. meeting.
There must still be a public hearing held on the plan before anything can be adopted.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - The final component to be released to the public brought the most discussion by the public on the proposed comprehensive land-use plan.
Consultant Kriss Lowry displayed the draft land-use maps for Mount Washington and Shepherdsville. And the capacity crowd had plenty of comments.
Lowry said that she was not employed to make a zoning map for the county. She said there are responsibilities of the county and the various cities to keep their own zoning maps.

PLAYBACK: Inspiration and Enchantment, The Future of Technology and Learning
7.29.11 | Kids predict the future of technology; How historians are using digital maps; Buffy Hamilton at ISTE 2011; Victor Diaz on teaching to the whole child; and why it's not too late to recharge with summer pd on web 2.0 tools for the classroom.
If you're feeling the pull to get off of the computer and onto the beach in this midsummer haze, here are some things to keep you technology dreamin'.
Kids Predict the Future of Technology: Fun research from Latitude, an international research consultant group, was released last month. The study, "Children's Future Requests for Computers and the Internet," (pdf) asked more than 200 kids from around the world, "What would you like your computer or the internet to do that it can't do right now?"
Meris Stansbury at eSchool News reports that some of what the kids envisioned is already in development, like Google's revamped image search that allows users to place images in Google's query box.
Here's more of what the kids came up with:
- 3D effects
- Ability to teach/create—The internet can host classes, and computers can allow for game creation and other types of creation.
- Intuitive interface: verbal/auditory controls, human-level responses, and an idea of the device as merely an extension of oneself.
- No "online" and "offline" distinction—Technology is no longer something that mediates experience, but something that pervades it. For example, computers that print real food or that allow the user to touch objects on the screen.
- Social communication functions
"For many kids, the 'online' versus 'offline' and 'virtual' versus 'real' distinctions are quickly disappearing," Latitude's president Steve Mushkin said. "They naturally think about a future in which traditionally 'online' interactions make their way into the physical world, and vice versa—a concept already playing out in augmented reality, transmedia storytelling, the Internet of Things, and other recent tech developments."
Plus, Grownups Have Chrystal Balls Too: The smart folks at the Mozilla Foundation are not just predicting, but creating the digital tools of tomorrow. Be wowed by this list of "10 inspiring examples of where the web is headed" posted by Matt Thompson. If you're feeling like Google+ is just ho-hum, these examples—from the 3D web that allows you to zoom straight into the human heart to awesome animations and data visualizations—should strike awe. And don't forget to show them to your students.
How Futuristic Technology is Helping to Recreate the Past: And speaking of the future of new technology, some historians are already there, according to this New York Times article about how scholars are using new methods of geographic analysis to literally recreate the past.
The Times' Patricia Cohen explains:
Advanced technology similar to Google Earth, MapQuest and the GPS systems used in millions of cars has made it possible to recreate a vanished landscape. This new generation of digital maps has given rise to an academic field known as spatial humanities. Historians, literary theorists, archaeologists and others are using Geographic Information Systems — software that displays and analyzes information related to a physical location — to re-examine real and fictional places like the villages around Salem, Mass., at the time of the witch trials; the Dust Bowl region devastated during the Great Depression; and the Eastcheap taverns where Shakespeare's Falstaff and Prince Hal caroused.
The article, part of the Times series on "Humanties 2.0," quotes scholars who say the humanities fields had become "too abstract" and these new digital tools allow them to see new patterns and ask and answer important questions of history, like exactly what Gen. Robert E. Lee saw when he "issued a series of fateful orders that turned the tide against the Confederate Army nearly 150 years ago."
The full article is definitely worth a read.
Libraries, Learning & Enchantment: Educators from all over the country have been refueling at conferences over the past month or so and many are already getting ready to head back to the classroom. Thanks to the magic of technology you too can enjoy these words of wisdom even if you weren't lucky enough to make it to Philadelphia or San Francisco.
We liked this talk on Learning and Enchantment from Buffy Hamilton (aka The Unquiet Librarian) at the ISTE 2011 conference at the end of June. Her talk was part of a panel discussion at the "SIGMS Forum: A Dawning Era for School Librarians."
Hamilton, who is a high school librarian in Canton, Ga., says that as libraries face challenges from all sides about their relevancy in the 21st century, creating what she calls "enchantment" is imperative as librarians work to become change agents for 21st century learning and literary. Enchantment, a term she borrows from author and former Apple evangelist Guy Kawasaki, means "sustained voluntary delight that is mutually beneficial." Her piece about helping kids to "self-excavate" and discover their own passions they didn't even know existed will ring true to any educator who's allowed kids to experiment and create with technology. Slides are also available on Hamilton's blog.
Reimagine Education: When I attended the TEDxSFED conference in April, a talk by Victor Diaz, a school administrator from Berkeley, stuck in mind the most. The conference's theme was "mashEDup: re-imagine education" and as the founder and president of the board of the new Realm Charter School, Diaz is well poised as an expert on this topic.
This video of this moving presentation about connecting with low-income kids whom many educators have given up on is now available. Diaz focuses on the concept of "deservedness" and approaching each child with "willingness and trust, despite their challenges and history." He makes an excellent point about how to give kids the literal keys to their own learning. Realm is a middle and high school opening in Berkeley this fall. The school places an emphasis on technology, design learning and giving kids the support they need to develop emotional resiliency. Watch the talk here.
Plus, Earlier this week I covered S. Craig Watkins' research on how low-income teenagers are using new technologies. Watkins says that despite being early adopters of new technologies, these students still need guidance in order to realize the technology's full learning potential. Read my full post here.
Learn Something New This Summer: And finally, if after all that, you still need inspiration for using technology in the classroom, check out Edutopia's summer professional development blog series. The training material is archived online. We like the New Teacher Boot Camp about how to use web 2.0 tools like Storybird and VoiceThread in your classroom.

Hello Everybody.
I am a beginner user of Ubuntu and I hope to grow up in this community, learning and trying to help other users to solve their problems as I'll get more expert.

Any eligible Wisconsin voter can vote by absentee ballot for each election. Absentee voting can be done by mail or in-person in the clerk's office.
If you choose to voter an absentee ballot by mail, you must make a request in writing or fill out an absentee ballot request form and send it to your municipal clerk. You may request an absentee ballot for a specific election or for all elections within a calendar year.
The in-person absentee voting period begins the third Monday before the election and closes the Friday before the election at 5 p.m., or the close of business for the municipal clerk's office (whichever is later). All facilities where in-person absentee voting takes place must meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards for accessibility. If you require assistance with the voting process you can bring an assistor with you to help you mark your ballot, provided that person is not your employer or your representative in a labor union.
If you have difficulty getting to the polling place and would like to receive an absentee ballot for each election, you can become a permanent absentee voter. You need to certify on the application that you are "indefinitely confined," meaning that for reason of age, illness, infirmity or disability you are requesting a ballot for all subsequent elections. Once you are on the permanent absentee list you will stay there until you are no longer confined or you fail to return a ballot.

How could they shoot that one? I would have thought they would have wanted it to multiply. I am not opposed to hunting, but golly!

This is Jasmine (VP of Customer Loyalty). I totally understand the disappointment as we are dishearten as well by the bankruptcy of the provider of the warranty, Stainsafe. Regretfully, we were not informed if any notification or refunds of the warranty purchased through the third party were sent or communicated to our Customers.
As such, and because we value our Customers, we have elected to assist where possible with the concerns. I am sorry that the pro-rated refund did not meet with your expectations however unable to determine whether the warranty was ever exercised or refunded through Stainsafe prior to them going out of business, we feel that this is a reasonable offer of assistance.
At time of purchase, the store provides a sales receipt, which lists items and extended warranty purchases (if any) along with the Certificate of coverage and exclusions. My apology if there was any miscommunication
as this was certainly not intentional. I would be happy to speak with you regarding this concern further
and ask that you email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
With gratitude, Jasmine

In the movie "Talladega Nights" the main character, Ricky Bobby, prefers to have his arm broken rather than to admit that he likes crepes. He confesses a love for thin, tasty pancakes but conceding to liking something called a "crepe" is just too much for him to handle. Why? Probably the same reason I walk past and ignore the "non-fat" items in a grocery store. Because words matter and they elicit positive and negative reactions due to the perceptions they words imply.
I have seen similar reactions among some logistics professionals when discussing Green Warehousing. Immediately their minds race to expensive facility changes, re-training, and yet another process or program that they will be required to certify and track. What some of those professionals may not realize is that the elements emphasized in green warehousing are the same principles they have practiced their entire career, albeit under a different name. Making your facility green may not require a drastic transformation in your mindset, simply a re-labeling of your activities, taking it one step further, and then taking credit.

Hotel Occupancy Tax Notice
January 2003
Electric cooperatives formed under Chapter 161, Utilities Code, and telephone cooperatives formed under Chapter 162, Utilities Code, are exempt from state and local hotel occupancy taxes. Employees traveling on official business of the cooperative are also exempt. The method of payment, including cash or personal credit card, does not affect the exemption. Hotels should keep adequate records to prove that receipts were exempt.
When claiming an exemption, the organization or its employee must present to the hotel at the time of registration a completed Hotel Occupancy Tax Exemption Certificate. The certificate should include a notation of the type of exemption claimed (e.g., "exempt per Electric Cooperative Act, Utilities Code, Chapter 161," or "exempt per Telephone Cooperative Act, Utilities Code, Chapter 162"). To establish their affiliation with a cooperative, an employee may be asked to show a copy of the Comptroller's letter of exemption along with the exemption certificate.
Electric utility departments of cities, counties, or other political subdivisions of this state, as well as for-profit telephone companies, are required to pay state and local hotel occupancy taxes.

She emerged onto the pop music scene as a mysterious chanteuse wearing gigantic dark sunglasses and rectangular football-player shoulder pads before "Just Dance" dominated the music charts. Now the world has fallen charmed to Lady Gaga's quirky brand of unavoidable pop and homemade glittery costumes. Gaga possesses a highly sexualized, artistic vision. She is not merely a pop singer; she perceives herself as a modern-day Andy Warhol, a walking, talking, pantless 24-hour art project. Conquering the pop world is merely phase one of a campaign to dominate fashion, film and art.
Lady Gaga's Monster Ball Tour steamrolled through Vancouver this week in all its electro-pop, disco infused glory for three consecutive sold out shows. Kristina, Deanna and I were beyond pumped to join all the glamour boys and glitter girls for the Thursday night edition.
The pre-show scene outside the Queen Elizabeth Theatre was what you might imagine. A sea of blonde, pink and blue-wig-wearing Lady Gaga imitators, loaded up with face glitter, thunder bolt eye makeup, oversized shades, masks and the occasional makeshift light-up "disco stick." There were record breaking numbers of shirtasasdress.com offenders. In fact, we lost count of the actual total lady bits sightings because it was happening so frequently. Many people in the crowd seemed very pleased to have a chance to bust out the hairspray and heels and get their collective freak on. It was truly people watching at its finest. As always, the girls and I were loving it.
At the center of this spectacle is Lady Gaga herself-with the kind of trademark sexually charged, inuendo and profanity-laced performance that has vaulted her to superstardom. Lady Gaga is more than just a shiny pop package. She's a phenomenal performer with a myriad of tricks up her haute coutured sleeves.
The show itself was immaculately choreographed and visually stunning. Her set was raucous and racy and I'm quite sure that it featured almost as many costume changes as songs. What really sets Gaga apart from the masses of lip-synching Britney clones and wannabes is her pure musical talent. She's the real deal. The Lady can sing…(and dance and play piano)…hell, she can even smoke cigarettes on stage, apparently.
What's most fascinating about Gaga is her ability to be just strange enough in the very shiny pop music world where she thrives. She can perform, banter and rile the crowd up like the best of 'em. But more importantly, she challenges her audience just enough to make her that much edgier than other pop tarts out there. She's innovative. She's doing things that nobody has done before and it's refreshing.
Having been to more than my share of concerts over the years, I have to say that Gaga's Monster Ball was one of the absolute best I've experienced. Hands down, unreal.

Pepperazzi™ Peppers

Other .sig type nonsense
Thank you, thank you. You're very kind. I'll be here all week; invite your friends, and try the veal. - Piratecat
"If anything proves how dumb Trolls are its the fact they encourage flames, from which they can't regenerate. Its like a Rakshasa offering a two for one sale on blessed crossbow bolts." - Bagpuss
Whoever said "Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder" never played D&D.
(Should save on some space removing these from my sig proper...)

EvilEeyore's Big Honking Sig
My Stuff
The "back to the dungeon" philosphy isn't about baking pies, it's about finding orcs and stealing theirs.--nazgul
Current Games I am In:
Academy at Drell Proving that college students can challenge the world.
I play KithKalin Khaladuar, rogue, playboy, scoundrel, Elven Lord. Coupled with his faithful sidekick (familiar ferret) Turin he shall right wrongs and wrong women... or something...
Celtic Dreams Celts out to make or break a buck.
I play Nak mac Feagle a Pictish Hounds Master and Archer. His fierce loyalty and short stature ensure he'll live long enough to get to his rewards, as long as he doesn't die first...
Black Spine, Red Blood A Dark Sun campaign, with too many 'Good' heroes...
I play Grykee a lazy and dishonest (by Elven standards) elven minbender. There will be partying if she has to Dominate the whole lot of 'em.
Age of Mortals; Knights of Solamnia A Dragonlance campaign with heavy armor and strong honor.
Merritt Stone, Justicar, Nightwhisper... Small time hero from Nightlund, with a crooked family tree...
