Contest, blues and jams this weekend
Last week, Brookfield singer-songwriter Nora Collins, 17, got to sing the national anthem at a Mitt Romney rally in West Allis.
On Friday, Collins will be campaigning in her own contest as one of 10 finalists in the Wisconsin Singer/Songwriter Series' Song Contest Competition. It's the first in a planned annual competition in the series' 20-year history, said founder Joe Delucia. "It was a good way of celebrating the song and how moving the medium of music can be," he said. »Read Full Article
Time Warner-Journal Broadcast standoff is epicenter of national battle
Once upon a time, turning to one of Milwaukee's four network affiliates for news and information was as reflexive as setting your watch by the Allen-Bradley clock.
That time has passed, and the number of channels available today is dwarfed only by the number of challenges facing viewers and broadcasters. »Read Full Article(89)
Ridley's '12 Years a Slave' wins audience prize at Toronto film festival

Directed by Steve McQueen and starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, "12 Years a Slave" is being talked about as an Oscar front-runner. The movie is based on the true story of a black man who was kidnapped and sold into slavery in 19th-century America. »Read Full Article
Soulstice Theatre stays true to Pinter's 'Betrayal'
Dazzled with visions of starting fresh, lovers beginning an affair always think their story will be different. But what almost invariably results is another iteration of the same tired prose, inscribed by people who repeat the life they sought to escape rather than making a new one.
That's easiest to see in retrospect, which is how we view the affair featured in Harold Pinter's "Betrayal," composed of nine scenes that gradually move us back nine years, from 1977 to 1968. »Read Full Article

Kylix 3.0 Enterprise (with C++)
Kylix is a powerful RAD (rapid application development) tool. All three flavors of Kylix 3.0 (Open, Professional and Enterprise) come with both C++ and Delphi (Pascal) compilers. The Enterprise edition I reviewed comes with more than 190 components for rapid application development. On top of generic GUI-building components, it also comes with Borland's dbExpress architecture, which enables native access to DB2, Oracle9i, Informix, Informix SE, InterBase, MySQL and PostgreSQL databases. It also comes with BizSnap, WebSnap and DataSnap components, which enable easy development of web services that interoperate with enterprise databases.
The Kylix 3.0 Enterprise package contains a lot of documentation:
Quick Start Guide: an introduction to the product. You will learn how to customize the IDE, and it will also give you an idea of the terminology used to describe various parts of the user interface and its functions.
Kylix Developers Guide: a decent-sized book with in-depth information on usage and development with Kylix. It contains numerous code examples in both C++ and Delphi syntax. It also gives a rather detailed description of the CLX component library. Most of the CLX components are portable between Windows and Linux. For the components that are not portable, this guide has a whole chapter dedicated to porting applications from Windows to Linux.
Delphi Language Guide: the name of this guide says it all. It comes in handy if you've never used Object Pascal but are interested in learning. It also can be a good reference if you are a Delphi programmer.
CLX (pronounced "clicks") Object Hierarchy poster: this poster shows in an easy-to-read tree view how all the CLX components (objects) fit together. It uses color coding to represent the editions of Kylix in which the objects are available. The Enterprise edition has the most components, and the Open edition has the least.
Borland Solution Partner Resource Guide: creating components for Kylix is a business in itself. Many different companies write various components for Kylix. For a few hundred dollars, most of the solution partners will provide you with objects that can drastically cut down on your development time. A full list of solution partners is available at www.BorlandSolutions.com.
Kylix Enterprise (CD): contains the Kylix development executables, libraries and other resources, including source code for all the components. The full component source is useful, but because all the components were written in Delphi, they might be a bit hard to understand if you are not a Pascal buff. The CD also contains both C++ and Delphi versions of the compiler and a lot of sample code. After installing the software, take a look at the examples in the kylix3/examples/ directory and the tutorials in the kylix3/documentation directory.
Companion Tools (CD): I definitely recommend browsing through this CD as it includes a lot of nice tools. This software doesn't belong to Borland; the tools were written by individuals, groups or corporations. Here you will find various components such as compression, profiling, scripting and game components. Each and every tool comes with its own license, and it's nice to find a lot of open-source code under the GPL and LGPL.
Enterprise Server (CD): here you will find Borland's application server. The server comes with a development license; a deployment license key needs to be obtained separately.
Rave Reports (CD): this visual designer by Nevrona Design lets you create custom reports. Once you start the designer, you can point and click to design the look of your report. You can generate reports through different data sources, including database lookups. Once you have your design ready, you save the design into a file, which is later used by calling on the Rave components to generate a report.
On the installation CD are several text files that you should probably read before installing. They contain descriptions of caveats associated with the installation, development, building and deployment process. After reading the text files on the CD, I ran the installation script. The software can be installed in text mode or graphical mode under X. The script will check to see if it can make a connection to the X server. If it can, the installation process will run under X. This portion of the installation actually uses the Loki installer, and everything is pretty straightforward. One problem was that it didn't create the KDE icons, despite the fact that I checked the box for the installer to do so.
Re: Product Review: Kylix 3.0 Enterprise (with C++)
I haven't used this product yet, but I'm thinking to start doing so in the next 2 months, I need to know if anyone out there is running this on an Intel-Compatible platform, say AMD Athlon processor architecture.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Dirk Benedict
Jump to
Blessed with a classically handsome profile and a knack for playing charming rogues, actor Dirk Benedict entered the pantheon of historic television personalities as not one, but two iconic characters. After making an inglorious entry into film with B-movie fare like the reptilian horror tale "Sssssss" (1973), Benedict landed one of his two most enduring roles when he was cast as the devil-may-care fighter pilot Starbuck on "Battlestar Galactica" (ABC, 1978-79). Although the show met with an early demise, the actor quickly went on to even greater stardom as conman Templeton "Faceman" Peck on the action-adventure "The A-Team" (NBC, 1983-87). During and after "The A-Team," Benedict took on occasional film work, in such roles as a down-on-his-luck manager in the pro-wrestling comedy "Body Slam" (1986) and as a downed pilot whose only hope of survival lies in his two young children locating him in time in the rugged family adventure "Alaska" (1996). Though his star dimmed over the ensuing years, Benedict remained busy on American and international television, most notably on a controversial season of the U.K.'s "Celebrity Big Brother" (BBC One/Channel 4, 2001- ). Although he was a vocal critic of the series reboot of "Battlestar Galactica" (Sci Fi Channel, 2004-09), Benedict showed his approval of the feature film version of "The A-Team" (2010) by making an appearance alongside actor Bradley Cooper, taking over the role of Faceman. With a pair of beloved, classic television series to his credit, Benedict long ago had earned the adoration of generations of fans.

I've tried to steer clear of Iraqi war jokes for a variety of reasons, but this one from Jack McKinney, sent to Steve Gens, has Texans in it and so is too good to pass up:
A large group of Iraqi soldiers was moving down a road when they heard a voice call from behind a sand dune: "One Texas soldier is better than 10 Iraqis."
The Iraqi commander immediately ordered 10 of his best men over the dune. For a few minutes, sounds of battle could be heard, then silence.
Again the voice called: "One Texan is better than 100 Iraqis."
The commander assembled 100 of his troops, all fighting mad, and sent them over the dune.
A huge gunfight commenced. After about 10 minutes of furious battle, silence fell.
For a third time, the voice called out: "One Texan is better than a thousand Iraqis."
The enraged commander mustered 1,000 of his fighters and ordered them over the dune. Rifle fire, machine guns, grenades, rockets - the sounds of a terrible battle thundered across the desert. Finally...silence.
Then over the dune crawled one battered, wounded, exhausted, demoralized Iraqi fighter. Painfully, he made his way back to his commander.
"Don't send any more," he gasped. "It's a trap. There's two of them."

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyThe Aldabra flying fox is a nocturnal bat that spends the daylight hours roosting in tall trees. At night, this fruit bat emerges to feed on the flesh of fruits from plants such as Terminalia catappa (tropical almond), Cocos nucifera (coconut palm) and Ficus (fig) and Agave species (6) (8). By feeding on fruits, the flying fox unintentionally carries out a number of vital services for some of the plants: pollination, as pollen grains can become attached to the bat whilst feeding, and seed dispersion, as ingested seeds are excreted a distance from the parent plant (5). The Aldabra flying fox needs to supplement this low protein fruit diet with other sources of protein, such as pollen, insects, buds and leaves. In addition, it has been reported feeding on excrete from coccoids (scale insects and mealybugs). Coccoids feed on the sap of woody shrubs and trees and excrete a sugary waste called 'honeydew'. It is this honeydew that the flying fox has been seen licking from the leaves of fig trees, possibly providing an important source of protein during the dry season, when other protein sources may be scarce (9). The flying foxes of Aldabra are reportedly strong, slow fliers, and have been observed a long way out to sea (8). The Aldabra flying fox has been observed mating in October, November, March and June, and females have been recorded carrying young in December and January (6).

Allium fistulosum (Welsh onion, Japanese bunching onion, or cibol) is a monocot perennial that originated in Asia. The species is also known as green onion, spring onion, escallion, and salad onion, but these names are ambiguous, as they may also refer to any young green onion stalk, whether grown from Welsh onions, common or bulb onions (Allium cepa), or other Allium species.
The name "Welsh onion" has become a misnomer in modern English, as Allium fistulosum is not indigenous to Wales. "Welsh" preserves the original meaning of the Old English word "welisc", or Old German "welsche," meaning "foreign" (compare wal- in "walnut," of the same etymological origin). The species originated in Asia, probably in the region of Mongolia, Siberia, or China. The species is not known in the wild, but the nearest wild relative appears to be A. altaicum, which is widespread in parts of Mongolia and Siberia.
The species is very similar in taste and odor to the bulb onion, A. cepa, and hybrids between the two exist. The Welsh onion, however, does not develop bulbs (or only small bulbs, A ampeloprasum), while smaller varieties may resemble chives (Allium schoenoprasum). Many Welsh onion varieties multiply by forming perennial evergreen clumps.
Welsh onion has both culinary and ornamental uses. In the West, it is primarily used as a scallion or salad onion, and is perhaps the species most commonly marketed for this purpose. In East Asia, it is used in diverse dishes including stirfries and soups, and remains more widespread and popular than the bulb onion (Fritsch and Friesen 2002). In Japan, four major groups of cultivars have been developed, based on their adaptation to the coolest, warmest, and intermediate climate ranges there, with the fourth group (yagura negi) used in home gardens (Brewster 2008).
The species has been reported as naturalized in Vermont, Illinois, Alaska, and parts of Canada, but is not categorized as a problem invasive species (USDA PLANTS 2011).

A local nonprofit remains interested in buying land next to Stroud Elementary School, but negotiations haven't reached the point where the Clarke County Board of Education will consider approving a sale at its voting meeting today.
The Clarke County School District and the nonprofit, the Athens Homeless Property Corp., are $66,000 apart on a selling price - and both sides are trying to scrimp and save the most they can for admirable goals, said Clay Bryant, CEO of the nonprofit.
School board members decided last week to ask $490,000, a price they feel is closer to the actual value of the land. Athens Homeless Property Corp. offered $424,000.
"Their latest offer was somewhat higher than our appraisal and our budgetary projections for property allocation," Bryant said Wednesday.
The nonprofit, formed to oversee homeless services required as part of closing the Navy Supply Corps School, would like the land off Fourth Street to build 20 to 25 homes to help working families, according to Laurie Bailey, who serves both as clinical director for Advantage Behavioral Health and chairwoman of the Athens Homeless Property Corp.
The nonprofit is eyeing four sites in the county to build low-income housing, a clinic, a day care center and other facilities.
Negotiations with the school district will continue, Bryant said.
"I'm very optimistic that we will meet an agreement with the school board that will be very satisfactory for both parties," he said.
If the nonprofit buys the land for less, it could use the savings to build more housing for homeless families. If the school district sells for more, it could use the money to weather forecasted state budget cuts.
The nonprofit was formed to manage $7.9 million that the University of Georgia will pay for homeless services as part of an agreement in which UGA will acquire the 58-acre Navy school campus on Prince Avenue.

How Anger Can Hurt Your Heart
Everyone gets angry. It's a normal emotion, and there's probably a good reason why you feel that way.
The way you handle your anger can make a difference to your heart, though.

Massage Therapy for Stress Relief and Much More
Few sensual experiences rival a full-body massage for pleasure and stress relief -- at least among those things you can talk about in front of the children at the dinner table. Word on the health benefits of massage therapy for stress relief has spread. In 2006, 39 million Americans -- one in six adults -- had at least one massage, according to a nationwide survey by the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA). "Americans are looking to massage for much more than just relaxation," says Mary...

"If you have a destructive reaction to anger, you are more likely to have heart attacks," says cardiologist Dave Montgomery, MD, of Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta.
That's true whether intense anger makes you fiery or quietly fume.
If you can tell people in an appropriate way that you're angry, that's a good sign, says Laura Kubzansky, PhD, MPH, of Harvard School of Public Health. High levels of anger are the issue, not ordinary anger, says Kubzansky, who has studied how stress and emotions affect heart disease.
How Anger Fires Up the Heart
Emotions such as anger and hostility ramp up your "fight or flight" response. When that happens, stress hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol, speed up your heart rate and breathing.
You get a burst of energy. Your blood vessels tighten. Your blood pressure soars.
You're ready to run for your life or fight an enemy. If this happens often, it causes wear and tear on your artery walls.
Research backs that up.
In one report, researchers found that healthy people who are often angry or hostile are 19% more likely than calmer people to get heart disease. Among people with heart disease, those who usually feel angry or hostile fared worse than others.
So if anger has you in its crosshairs, it's time to shift the way you react to it.
4 Things to Tell Yourself When You're Angry
Learn to notice the signs that you feel angry, says Wayne Sotile, PhD, author of Thriving With Heart Disease.
The next time you feel your anger and heart rate rise, remember these four things, so you can get a grip fast:
1. "I can't accomplish anything by blaming other people, even if they are responsible for the problem. I'll try another angle."
2. "Will this matter 5 years from now? (Five hours? Five minutes?)"
3. "If I'm still angry about this tomorrow, I'll deal with it then. But for now, I'm just going to cool off."
4. "Acting angry is not the same as showing that I care."
Consider counseling if your feelings still get the best of you. Ask your doctor for a referral. She'll want to help.
"It's really important that physicians start taking care of the whole person, including their moods and their lives, because it matters," says New York cardiologist Holly S. Andersen, MD.

With so many exciting options in the real estate market today, what type of property is ideal for a first-time buyer?
You've got your deposit saved. Your bank finance is pre-approved. You're ready to go.
It's time to start shopping for your first home.
But the days of virtually all first-home buyers choosing a detached house on land in a new suburban estate are over (although this type of home is still a winner with many).
Homes come in all shapes and sizes today and each type has its own unique benefits and limitations.

If you're vegetarian, try this
May 11, 2016 | By Bruce
I bought a jar a couple months ago, just to try it. It's now a staple in my kitchen. Delightful flavor, luscious texture, and super healthy. I'm telling all my vegetarian friends about this product since they all eat a lot of beans!
cannellino beans, extra virgin olive oil, salt, sage

The Charleston RiverDogs, the Class A affiliate of the New York Yankees, will host their 14th annual "Kindness Beats Blindness RP Auction" on Saturday, June 29, at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park.
With proceeds going to the Medical University of South Carolina's (MUSC) Storm Eye Institute and their on-going fight to prevent the loss of sight, the RiverDogs' silent auction begins when the gates open at 5 p.m. and concludes at the bottom of the 6th inning.
There will be an abundance of specialty gifts and experiences available including trips to northern California, the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., and Asheville, N.C.
There will also be fine jewelry, Kiawah Island packages, a golf cart, bed and breakfast stays, multiple Charleston tourist experiences and various autographed sports memorabilia. All fans that enter the ballpark are eligible to bid on the various goods and services.
The Charleston RiverDogs have donated more than $500,000 to the Storm Eye Institute to help fight Retinitis Pigmentosa, a disease that causes blindness and that has affected Rebecca Veeck, the daughter of RiverDogs President Mike Veeck and his wife, Libby.
"We put a lot of effort and emphasis into this annual auction because we firmly believe in the cause," said RiverDogs General Manager Dave Echols.
"Blindness hits us hard because of Rebecca, and we are trying to do our part to fight this disease that affects so many. Hopefully, raising needed funds for research will help prevent this terrible disease in the future."
The RiverDogs host the Hickory Crawdads that night, with the first pitch slated for 6:05 p.m. After a long stint in first place of their division, the RiverDogs hope to regain that top position after slipping to second place in recent weeks.
For additional information about the "Kindness Beats Blindness RP Auction" or if you are interested in a donation or purchasing tickets to the game, please call Melissa McCants Azevedo at 843-577-DOGS (3647) or visit www.RiverDogs.com or www.RileyParkEvents.com.

Job opening, hires, and total separations rates in August 2009
October 13, 2009
In August, 2009, there was little change in the job openings rate (1.8 percent), hires rate (3.1 percent) or total separations rate (3.3 percent).
Over the 12 months ending in August, the job openings rate (not seasonally adjusted) decreased for total nonfarm, total private, government, the majority of industries, and all four regions. The rate was little changed in construction; wholesale trade; real estate and rental leasing; educational services; and other services.
During the same time frame, the hires rate (not seasonally adjusted) declined for total nonfarm, total private, and government. The hires rate decreased for mining and logging; construction; retail trade, finance and insurance; educational services; and state and local government. The hires rate fell over the past 12 months in the West and was little changed in the remaining regions.
The total separations rate (not seasonally adjusted) decreased over the 12 months ending in August for total nonfarm and total private. Total separations include quits (voluntary separations), layoffs and discharges (involuntary separations), and other separations (including retirement).
These data are from the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. Data for August are preliminary. To learn more, see "Job Openings and Labor Turnover — August 2009" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL 09-1209.

In 1934 and 1935, two polio vaccines were prematurely employed in large-scale trials with disastrous results. The vaccines, given to 17,000 children in Canada and the U.S., killed six and paralyzed a dozen others, the deaths and paralyses typically involving paralysis in the inoculated arm rather than in the legs, as was more normal. So traumatic was this experience -- to both the public and the research establishment -- that it would take another two decades before another polio vaccine would be brought to market.
Whatever the reasons for this epidemic, there are a few signs of hope. Like the common cold and flu, infection is entirely preventable by washing the hands with soap and water as well as regularly disinfecting surfaces. Should an infection occur, there is still only a small chance it could get worse;
Afternoon of a Faun, a documentary by Nancy Buriski, tells the incredible story of Tanaquil "Tanny" Le Clercq, a world-renowned ballerina who was struck down at the height of her career by polio. The good news is that earlier this year, the Global Polio Eradication Initiative launched a plan to achieve a polio-free world by 2018.
I stand behind the women around the globe who are leading the charge against polio and working relentlessly to achieve a polio-free world. As mothers and women from local communities unite in the fight against the disease, we too must take action to protect the lives of children, no matter where they live.
It used to be that modern medicine was a thing to be venerated, a doctor's words regarded like golden nectar of wisdom. Now, not so much. Once upon a time vaccinations were seen as miracles in a needle, warding off potentially life-threatening illnesses. In the States, the unvaccinating movement has turned epidemic, with as many as one in 10 parents refusing to vaccinate their children.

Abu Dhabi Airport Company (ADAC) contracts FREQUENTIS for the transition to FPL2012
Abu Dhabi Airport Company (ADAC) will equip the Approach Control Centre at the UAE's Abu Dhabi International Airport with smartFPLconverter (an FPL2012 Converter) from Frequentis.
This integration with the current system protects existing infrastructural investments and offers ADAC the flexibility needed to conform to the new standards on time and without a large expense. ADAC will be able to communicate with other ATM entities in both old and new formats and easily adapt formats to account for future interpretations of the new standard.
About smartFPLconverter
smartFPLconverter is built on the foundation of Frequentis' smartMessenger, a high-performance and high-availability ATS Message Handling System (AMHS). smartFPLconverter is a flexible system that interconnects to Flight Data Processing and Flight Plan Handling systems available in the market using standard communication interfaces. This allows ANSPs to conform to the Amendment 1 of ICAO 4444 in a timely and cost-effective manner.
smartFPLconverter provides bidirectional conversion between the present and new FPL format and holds messages for distribution within 24 hours prior to the EOBT/DOF in the flight plan message. smartFPLconverter features a Destination Dependant Conversion (DDC) database. This allows the system to handle variations in the format of flight plans conforming to different interpretations of the 2012 format. The easily modifiable and understandable rules database allows changes to be made by local personnel as the FPL format evolves.

"AWESOME!!!!!!! You guys are the best in your field. I wish I had ALOT more money to spend!
"Ordered two pairs of Tactical pants, I love them and at half the cost of 5.11! You can't beat it"
"Probably at the top of my list of the companies I buy from! Excellent product selection and pricing! Fast and accurate shipping!"
"Great light, exceptionally bright, nice push switch on function as well as strobe. Great price."
"I loved the fact i was able to order by phone and the items i recieved were Perfect, I wish there was a catalog in with the order but I hope to get that in the mail, overall outstanding.."
"I ordered a collapsible baton from LA Police Gear, a button-activated, retraction-type model that is very difficult to find online, as it is sold out in almost every store that I had checked. LA Police Gear's website showed the model in stock, and the baton shipped quickly with e-mail updates for tracking, and arrived promptly. I am very satisfied with the product and the transaction, and I will definitely give LA Police Gear repeat business in the future for my personal security/tactical needs."
"When ordering boots online the webpage never indicated that they would be backordered. Was given an expected delivery date for 5 days from order date. When no shipping information was provided I went back in to see that miraculously the boots were now on backorder. When I contacted customer service I was told that they are at the mercy of the manufacturer and that the error was not their problem. When I explained that the boots were needed for upcoming training I was simply told to take my business elsewhere. Careful to all as the item you need will change to backordered even though the webpage never indicates the possible delay. If you really need the item go elsewhere! Their customer service is also horrible!"
"Order was backordered for over a month and when I finally received it the garments were not the sizes labeled and did not fit. I was only refunded the purchase price but not the shipping to/from LA. After emailing their "Customer Service" department I got a reply that this was per policy and that the merchandise was not defective. I replied saying that mislabeled items are indeed defective and I wanted to be reimbursed for the shipping or I would never do business with them again. I got a very crude reply back saying that they would refund me despite encouraging "bad behavior" like threatening to not do business with them. I was only credited the outgoing shipping costs and not the return.
If I had employees in my business who treated customers like this I would fire them. Not only will I never do business with them after this last insult, I will encourage my friends to never do business with them as well."
"Hello and thank you for your review and for bringing this to our attention. Someone from management will be in touch with your shortly and let me assure you that this conduct is not typical and not tolerable within our company. Thank you again."
"This company absolutely sucks. They flat out lied to me multiple times regarding my order being in stock. Ive waited over a month and still not received my order which was supposed to be shipped immediately. When I tried to cancel my order I was refused. There are so many more quality sites to order from, I will absolutely never deal with them again. Horrible service"
"Thank you for your feedback. I am very sorry that your order was delayed for over a month. I do see that you requested to cancel your order but by the time you requested to cancel it the items had arrived in stock and had shipped out for you already. You emailed us on 1/15 to cancel your order and the order had shipped on 1/14. Again, I am very sorry for the long wait and I apologize for any inconvenience. I refunded the original order's shipping charge for you. Please let us know if you need anything else."
"Amazing products and great service. They really went above and beyond to make sure I got the right product in a really quick manner. I can't say enough about how great the customer service is there. I am new to Law Enforcement and would recommend LA Police Gear to everyone looking for a great deal and top notch service. "
"purchased some optics on special plus free ground shipping. received order confirmation and delivery with tracking emails as expected. from order to door took 5 business days as expected. very satisfied with product and online experience. would recommend lapolicegear to anyone"
"Good price on items, fast shipping.
Unfortunately, one of my items was missing a part. I have emailed their customer service about this and they were able to ship the part out."
"We apologize for the issue with your order, and the delay getting back to you. We were closed for the Fourth of July holiday weekend from 7/4/13 through 7/7/13, so this is why you were not responded to immediately. If you still need any assistance, please let us know and we would be glad to help you out. Thanks!
Reply to Customer's Edit - We just put in the order to have the missing part shipped out to you. Thanks and take care."
"First and Foremost, I LOVE this store! I LOVE the customer service that I have recieved each and everytime I ordered (which has been quite a few).
It seems as though most of these reviews on here are consisting of someone who wasn't happy with the product that was purchased. If you know what you like and what you're ordering ahead of time, then you probably wouldn't have an issue with LA Police Gear. #just sayin.
My fiance only wears 5.11 Tactical shirts/pants and won't wear ANYTHING else. If you know anything about 5.11's products, you know that you won't find their products cheap. (You definitely get what you pay for) LA Police Gear has their 5.11 stock at a rate that is below its competitors. Believe me, I did do my research before I ordered. I will NEVER order from any other company when it comes to my fiance's 5.11 needs."
"Excellent products at competitive pricing. Shipping is always fast. Definitely a repeat customer."
"I'm very happy with this online seller. 10/10 would buy from LA Police Gear again. "

Recently, I've not been the biggest fan of your work. Some of it is pretty cool, a lot of it is kind of, counter productive, in the sense that you've done so much better and you've forgotten some of the fundamentals. At any rate, let's just get into the CnC.
The style is consistent, but the focal is dead. Reason being is that you have three points of attraction, meaning you've created a nice little empty triangle that now poses as your focal point. What I mean is that you have three focal points, one being the text on "super sayin", one being the bird and the last being the effects coming from the trumpet. I'm sure your focal had intended to be something else, but look at your background, you can't put effects like these on top of something like paper texture if you don't want them to distract from what the eye should be led to. And there's 3 places like this, the ones I mentioned. What I would have liked was if the text was closer to the focal, the head, without as much text, and have the bird moved closer also, then to fill out the tag you could have gone with some pen tooling or shapes. But aside from that, I like the colours in this quite a lot, and you sure did something original, but it's the lack of a strong focal point, or perhaps the addition of too many focal points, is what bothers me most about this tag. With some work, it could look pretty awesome.
Dislike the background, like the text and the shape, and the concept, but it's all over the place this tag. Other than the speech bubble and a little of the effects on the shoulder, there's no yellow. So it doesn't make a great deal of sense to me. The text has little relevance to the focal point. The background is in a complete contrast with what we see above it. You have a playful attempt at a concept here with the stock and the text, which is pretty cool, but you have a dull texture in the background which doesn't really go with the tag at all. The effects on the shoulder look a little rough and low quality in all honesty, and just seem half hearted. I honestly think that if you changed the background here and made it relate to the text a bit more you could be looking at a better and more consistent tag. But it needs work overall, colour needs some more adjustments also, it doesn't blend very well.
This is pretty awesome. I much prefer this one to your other tags of late. It's a little messy in places and lacks a little depth, but it's simplicity. What I would have liked to have seen other than some depth would be a bit of colour adjustments again. The birds are also over light, I would have liked a stock with a bit more detail to go over her. This one would look pretty nice with some text, the font you used on your "bon" tag, would be suiting I think. I forget what font that was, let me know when you read this haha. But the effects are pretty good, and I like what you've done with the face. Just tone down the lighting on the skin overall there and you'll be looking at a better tag.
Fairly simple but effective concept. I like what you've done with the colours especially, the triangles and the clipping mask work to good effect. The text is a little hard to read in all honesty, and that's my main beef with this large tag. It could possibly do with a bit more work, a few more additions, but I like it the way it is.
I like everything about this except for the stock. Giving the fact that you probably did this as a request I'll forgive you. The stock is pretty low quality and it doesn't suit the effects and textures very well both due to the quality difference but also due to the fact that it's 2D, with a 3D background. So the styles clash. The text is iffy too, I don't much like it being so far away from the stock. I would actually consider taking out that stock and replacing it with another, then shifting the text over to the left, then adding in some space stock for some orby effects.
I don't have much to say about this one, it's pretty awesome in all honesty. I would give out about styles clashing here but the effects look 3D so it gets away with it. Colours could do with some work, I agree, to be honest, try a hue shift and a change in saturation and you'll probably get a good effect. But I like this, the text is done nicely too, so good work.
Very busy. I like the flow, but I would have liked to see more of Petill, I think it got lost in the effects a bit too much and it would have been better to have it stand out a bit more. I honestly think this would have been a lot better if it stood out that bit more and didn't get so lost in the effects. But some good flow here. I think the colours could do some with some work, they're a little murky, but I like the effects overall.
Eh, some good points, some bad points, but I think tag requests don't always work well but I commend you for taking them.
And I await CT coming in to "disaggreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

The Cartoon Guide to Life, the Universe, and Everything
Larry Gonick is a veteran American cartoonist best known for his delightful comic-book guides to science and history, many of which have previews online. Chief among them is his long-running Cartoon History of the Universe (later The Cartoon History of the Modern World), a sprawling multi-volume opus documenting everything from the Big Bang to the Bush administration. Published over the course of three decades, it takes a truly global view -- its time-traveling Professor thoroughly explores not only familiar topics like Rome and World War II but the oft-neglected stories of Asia and Africa, blending caricature and myth with careful scholarship (cited by fun illustrated bibliographies) and tackling even the most obscure events with intelligence and wit. This savvy satire carried over to Gonick's Zinn-by-way-of-Pogo chronicle The Cartoon History of the United States, along with a bevy of Cartoon Guides to other topics, including Genetics, Computer Science, Chemistry, Physics, Statistics, The Environment, and (yes!) Sex. Gonick has also maintained a few sideprojects, such as a webcomic look at Chinese invention, assorted math comics (previously), the Muse magazine mainstay Kokopelli & Co. (featuring the shenanigans of his "New Muses"), and more. See also these lengthy interview snippets, linked previously. Want more? Amazon links to the complete oeuvre inside! [more inside]

Schrödinger's Ratio
If you look around, you'll see that the ratio of 1.618:1 appears in architecture, nature, and artistic works (such as music, previously). Studied by the Greeks, the Golden Ratio is pretty much everywhere and is common accepted as aesthetically pleasing, and now it has been found to exist down into the nanoscale level, as a byproduct of investigating the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. We may not be able to nail down both position and speed, but it appears the macro ratio is an echo of the micro one. [more inside]

Q to the E to the D
Futurama has always been a haven for geek humor, but last week's episode "The Prisoner of Benda" pushed things to the next level. First hinted at in an American Physical Society interview with showrunner David X. Cohen (previously), staff writer and mathematics Ph.D. Ken Keeler devised a novel mathematical proof based on group theory to resolve the logic puzzle spawned by the episode's brain-swapping (but no backsies!) conceit. Curious how it works? Read the proof (in the show or in plain text), then see it in action using this handy chart. Too much math for a lazy Sunday? Then entertain your brain with lengthy clips from the episode -- including two of the funniest moments in the series in the span of two minutes.

Pixel Pickle
Editors of the pop-culture magazine Wired provided the title "iPhone 4's 'Retina' Display Claims Are False Marketing" to a highly critical article about the new iPhone's high-resolution "Retina" display, so-called as the human eye cannot resolve individual pixels when viewing it. A technician who worked on the Hubble telescope disagreed with the Wired editors' choice of rhetoric in very strong technical terms and issued less stringent disagreement with Raymond Soneira, the writer of the piece. Neuroscientist and photographer Bryan Jones published his own highly readable technical analysis of the display's pixel arrangement, that helped him decide whether Apple's claims were truthful or not.
magnetic sculptures
Robert Hodgin's Magnetic sculptures: "These forms are created with cylinder magnets, spherical magnets, and ball bearings. Magnetism is the only thing holding the forms together. They are fairly fragile and picking them up will likely crush them. All of the forms I created were variations of the 12 sided dodecahedron. This particular platonic solid seems to be the form the magnets are happiest with." [via]

Trigonometric Delights. This book is neither a textbook of trigonometry—of which there are many—nor a comprehensive history of the subject, of which there is almost none. It is an attempt to present selected topics in trigonometry from a historic point of view and to show their relevance to other sciences. It grew out of my love affair with the subject, but also out of my frustration at the way it is being taught in our colleges.
Contact is the secret, is the moment, when everything happens. Contact....
From 1980 - 1988, a science education series called 3-2-1 Contact ran on PBS. Produced by Children's Television Workshop, the series was geared toward an older audience than other popular CTW offerings Sesame Street and The Electric Company, and focused on teaching kids about science, math and the world around them.

"...the best place to hide bulls**t is in a refereed journal that's not open-access!" The math-physics blog n-category cafe digs into the curious case of M.S. El Naschie. El Naschie is editor-in-chief of the journal Chaos, Solitons, and Fractals, published by the well-respected scientific publisher Elsevier and sold to academic libraries for US$4,520 a year. The problem? El Naschie has published 322 of his own papers in the journal -- papers that John Baez (of "This Week's Finds in Mathematical Physics" and "The Crackpot Index") describes as "vague, dreamlike imagery," "undisciplined numerology larded with impressive buzzwords," and "total baloney." Is El Naschie a reverse Sokal? Or a Markov process for producing random publishable papers? One thing's for sure -- he knows how to cure cancer.

Virtual Thinking
Correlative Analytics -- or as O'Reilly might term the Social Graph -- sort of mirrors the debate on 'brute force' algorithmic proofs (that are "true for no reason," cf.) in which "computers can extract patterns in this ocean of data that no human could ever possibly detect. These patterns are correlations. They may or may not be causative, but we can learn new things. Therefore they accomplish what science does, although not in the traditional manner... In this part of science, we may get answers that work, but which we don't understand. Is this partial understanding? Or a different kind of understanding?" Of course, say some in the scientific community: hogwash; it's just a fabrication of scientifically/statistically illiterate pundits, like whilst new techniques in data analysis are being developed to help keep ahead of the deluge...
How reliable is DNA in identifying suspects?
A discovery leads to questions about whether the odds of people sharing genetic profiles are sometimes higher than portrayed. Calling the finding meaningless, the FBI has sought to block such inquiry.
Abstract concepts vs. concrete examples for teaching math
A new study in Science claims that teaching math is better done by teaching the abstract concepts rather than using concrete examples. From an article by the study authors in Science Mag (requires subscription): If a goal of teaching mathematics is to produce knowledge that students can apply to multiple situations, then presenting mathematical concepts through generic instantiations, such as traditional symbolic notation, may be more effective than a series of "good examples." This is not to say that educational design should not incorporate contextualized examples. What we are suggesting is that grounding mathematics deeply in concrete contexts can potentially limit its applicability. Students might be better able to generalize mathematical concepts to various situations if the concepts have been introduced with the use of generic instantiations.
Behind Door Number One...
The Monty Hall Problem has struck again, and this time it's not merely embarrassing mathematicians. If the calculations of a Yale economist are correct, there's a sneaky logical fallacy in some of the most famous experiments in psychology."

[A previous MetaFilter thread about the Monty Hall Problem: Let's Make A Deal!]
golden ratio in the amen break
The Amen Break and the Golden Ratio by mathematics educator and author, Michael S. Schneider. Schneider, having already researched and written about the golden ratio extensively, noticed it right away when hearing the the amen break for the first time (amen break previously on the blue). While some composers have been known to intentionally incorporate fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio into their works, perhaps this is just another one of the many instances of the ratio showing up in nature.

Impossible Crystals
"This is a story of how the impossible became possible. How, for centuries, scientists were absolutely sure that solids (as well as decorative patterns like tiling and quilts) could only have certain symmetries - such as square, hexagonal and triangular - and that most symmetries, including five-fold symmetry in the plane and icosahedral symmetry in three dimensions (the symmetry of a soccer ball), were strictly forbidden. Then, about twenty years ago, a new kind of pattern, known as a "quasicrystal," was envisaged that shatters the symmetry restrictions and allows for an infinite number of new patterns and structures that had never been seen before, suggesting a whole new class of materials...."

Math You Don't Know, and Math You Didn't Know You Didn't Know.
Jim Loy's Mathematics Page is (among other things) a collection of interesting theorems (like Napoleon's Triangle theorem), thoughtful discussions of both simple and complex math, and geometric constructions (my personal favorite); the latter of which contains surprisingly-complex discussions on the trisection of angles, or the drawing of regular pentagons.
Similarly enthralling are the pages on Billiards (and the physics of), Astronomy (and the savants of), and Physics (and the Phlogiston Theory of), all of which are rife with illustrations and diagrams. See the homepage for much more.
If you like your geometric constructions big, try Zef Damen's Crop Circle Reconstructions.

The Complexity of a Controversial Concept
The Logic of Diversity "A new book, The Wisdom of Crowds [..:] by The New Yorker columnist James Surowiecki, has recently popularized the idea that groups can, in some ways, be smarter than their members, which is superficially similar to Page's results. While Surowiecki gives many examples of what one might call collective cognition, where groups out-perform isolated individuals, he really has only one explanation for this phenomenon, based on one of his examples: jelly beans [...] averaging together many independent, unbiased guesses gives a result that is probably closer to the truth than any one guess. While true — it's the central limit theorem of statistics — it's far from being the only way in which diversity can be beneficial in problem solving." (Three-Toed Sloth)
Winnie Knows Math
Danica McKellar —the former star of The Wonder Years—has her own web site. It's got a great feature where she answers your math questions. No, really. She's got a degree in mathematics and co-authored a paper on percolation and Ashkin-Teller models. No, really.
Hypothesis as thought-crime
Hypothesis as thought-crime...Now, however, a new brouhaha has erupted [at Harvard]and it seems impossible that Summers [the president]will emerge from this one without serious erosion of his moral authority. The trigger was a statement he made at a conference, suggesting that the reason there are more men than women in the mathematical sciences at top-flight institutions has to do with a small statistical difference in inate ability, which becomes a pretty large disparity when one looks at the 'high end' of the respective distribution curves... The fatal words did not set forth his main theme, but merely constituted a brief aside, thoroughly hedged and qualified. Nonetheless, they touched off a firestorm of indignation, the most striking aspect of which was the intemperate response of a number of feminist scientists, who offered no counter-arguments, but simply declared the whole idea misogynistic and therefore forbidden intellectual territory.

Open Educational Resources (OER) – that is, teaching, learning and research materials that their owners make free to others to use, revise and share – offer a powerful means of expanding the reach and effectiveness of worldwide education. Those resources can be full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, software, and other materials and techniques used to promote and support universal access to knowledge.
This book, initiated by the UNESCO/COL Chair in OER, is one in a series of publications by the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) examining OER. It describes the movement in detail, providing readers with insight into OER's significant benefits, its theory and practice, and its achievements and challenges. The 16 chapters, written by some of the leading international experts on the subject, are organised into four parts by theme:
1. OER in Academia – describes how OER are widening the international community of scholars, following MIT's lead in sharing its resources and looking to the model set by the OpenCourseWare Consortium
Instructional designers, curriculum developers, educational technologists, teachers, researchers, students, others involved in creating, studying or using OER: all will find this timely resource informative and inspiring.

Point 43. A well-established, properly regulated tertiary education system supported by technology, open educational resources and distance education can increase access, equity, quality and relevance, and can narrow the gap between what is taught at tertiary education institutions, including universities, and what economies and societies demand. The provision of tertiary education should be made progressively free, in line with existing international agreements.

Alamo ScoutsUPDATED 10:40 PM MDT Aug 02, 2014
Tonight we tell the story of a special military unit called the Alamo scouts. These men were instrumental in freeing New Mexicans from Philippine prison camps in World War II. Their story was kept secret, until now.Video Transcript
SPECIAL MILITARY UNIT CALLED THE ALAMO SCOUTS. THESE MEN WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN FREEING NEW MEXICANS FROM PHILIPPINE PRISON CAMPS IN WORLD WAR II. THEIR STORY WAS KEPT SECRET FOR DECADES. ACTION 7 NEWS REPORTER MEGAN CRUZ SPOKE TO ONE OF THE LAST REMAINING SCOUTS. Go home, be quiet, and never tell anyone what you did. THOSE WERE CONNIE VINEYARD'S ORDERS WHEN HE RETURNED HOME FROM WORLD WAR II. I never told my family - they had no idea. THAT'S WHY, YOU'VE PROABLY NEVER HEARD OF THE ALAMO SCOUTS... AND WHAT THEY DID FOR NEW MEXICANS IN WORLD WAR II. No one knew anything! and i had to know more. LANCE ZEDRIC HAS WRITTEN TWO BOOKS ABOUT THE SCOUTS. SOT I felt a historical responsibility to keep going with it. NOW, IN HIS LATEST BOOK "SILENT NO MORE," YOU HEAR FROM SCOUTS THEMSELVES... HOW THEY WERE TASKED WITH 112 MISSIONS, TWO OF WHICH HAD THEM BEHIND ENEMY LINES IN THE PHILIPPINES, TO FREE CAPTURED SOLDIERS FROM PRISON CAMPS. IN 1942, MORE THAN 70-THOUSAND FILIPINO AND AMERICAN SOLDIERS SURRENDERED TO THE JAPANESE. OF THOSE, 18-HUNDRED WERE FROM NEW MEXICO. THE PRISONERS OF WAR WERE FORCED TO WALK 65 MILES TO PRISON CAMPS. MANY DIED, IN WHAT'S NOW KNOWN AS THE BATAAN DEATH MARCH. IN 1945, THE ALAMO SCOUTS FREED HUNDREDS OF MEN FROM ONE OF THE PRISONS. all these memories come back 04:56 VINEYARD IS ONE OF 5 SCOUTS STILL ALIVE. THE ORIGINAL UNIT HAD 138 SOLDIERS. VINEYARD WAS IN SANTA FE THIS WEEKEND FOR FINAL ANNUAL REUNION FOR THE UNIT, AT THE BATAAN MEMORIAL MUSEUM. You're kind of a part of new mexico's history! Oh, i'm proud of that!
