Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
10 rasenchurican or under
16 rasenchurican or under
Higher than 16

you went too far, dude!
he just wants to show his opinion :shrug:
Lol the OP is extreme exaggeration! Spelling is off too.
the reason why naruto made 3 clones to take in nature chakra is not to make his rasenshurikens, but to extend the time he could be in sage mode since he could not merge with ma and pa...
the nature chakra he can store in his body is used on 2 rasenshurikens
Seriously? Minato's limit is 2 FRS max.
HAHAHAHAHA, 16 Rasenshurikens my ass.
The OP is a ****.
I don't get it, can someone help me find a FTG->Rasenshuriken chakra converter? (sarcasm)

Woaw what crawled up your ass and died post your opinion but keep it friendly and it took three jonin to do ftg one time so minato's chakra is imence
If 3persons are needed to perform the technique it's either because of lack of skills or the technique itself requires too much chakra that they can't perform it alone. Personally i think it's the former, but if it's the latter, judging by the fact he continuously spamed it during a war to defeat an entire platoon, judging by the fact he used that too much during Kyubi's attack, his chakra must have been insane. Besides that, redirecting something as big and powerful as a TBB must take quite enough as well. Redirecting 100%Kurama plus his TBB must take large chakra reserves(he mentioned it). Summoning Gamabunta already takes a quite amount(even part1 Naruto was incapable of that without Kyubi), performing then RDS to seal half of Kyubi inside himself, summoning Gerotora, and performing Eight trigrams seal to seal the other half of kyubi's chakra, plus Kushina's and his own chakra, so yeah he probably had high chakra reserves
oh he has unlimited chakra..cmon guys were talking about the 4th here i mean he is the weakest link after tsunade but still Uchiha Inza
no just no

During minato's fight with obito and kurama he used the following
-Flighing thunder god 13 times and using alot of chakra to keep kurama in place during kushina's pregnancy wich totals up to at least 1 rasenchurican worth of chakra
-then the s/t barrier he used to stop the tbb and not only stop it but redirect it is about 2 rasenchurican
-then when he teleported kurama and a fully powered bijjudama should be 5 rasenchurican worth of chakra mainly because before he used ftg on kurama and the bijjudama he said he has to use an equal amount of chakra to be able to send it away and the mini bijjudama four tails used on oro is about two times stronger than the rasenchurican and the bijjudama minato teleported was bigger so I'm guessing its twice as strong and would take 4 rasenchurican and to teleport kurama's body with ftg is also very hard and he used a contract seal on obito
-and then he performed the eight trigram seal jutsu three different times one on him one on naruto and then readed it on naruto and seeing how that's one of the strongest sealing jutsu and held kurama for multiple years I say that each seal is probably 3 rasenchurican
And he stored extra chakra in naruto and summend gamabunta and summend gamatora
I think it ads up to about 16 rasenchurican worth
feel free to make your own Charts and comment a poll will be up momentarily
FTG no need of chakra. FTG is sealing jutsu

I apologize, but the 16 rasenshuriken's made me laugh. It is a bit of an exaggeration though.
And trust me, Minato's chakra levels are very high but I don't think he could pull of 16 rasenshurikens. On full chakra 3-5 at most.
FTG consumes chakra. He teleported the bijuu-dama, He fought obito, Released the contract seal, summoned Gamabunta (Cheif Toad) Teleported the kyuubi out of the village, got his wife and son, performed Shiki Fuijin (not sure if that consumes chakra) had enough chakra to seal half the kyuubi in him and the other his son. STILL he had enough to store his chakra into naruto.
To teleport the 100% kurama (its not 50% but a 100%) out of the village he needed the same amount of chakra or greater thats why he was drained when he teleported it.
You decide.

The Ticket to Heaven
"Is this heaven?" John Kinsella asks as he takes in the flawless baseball field.
I've experienced a similar scenario with speaking with players. When guys like Dustin Richardson and Michael Bowden are called up, they still remember me from spring training, and I think that really helps with the trust/comfort factor.

Wow thats awesome! Congrats! And ya we are hard on Beckett sometimes. But we are hard all all the players but thats one of the bad things about playing in a big market you have really high expectations.
Bob, http://bostonsports.mlblogs.com/
Looks like you're not just enjoying the summer, but enjoying this time in your life. Glad you are doing something so productive and life altering. All the best in baseball.
'Minoring In Baseball'
Great read and it sounds like an awesome experience.
Just a suggestion, on the homepage is their anyway to do a jump? There is a lot of scrolling on the homepage and could be a lot cleaner if jumps were added to posts.
Keep up the good work!
~Benti, bostonsbettah.com
Lars Anderson remembered? That's impressive. What you've been doing is impressive. Dreams are what you make of them and how far you're willing to chase them. Looks like you are far ahead of the pack. Don't forget us little people.!
Elizabeth: Great post! What an amazing experience. I LOVE your allusion to Field of Dreams. That's one of my all time favorite movies. But then again, isn't that movie in every baseball fan's top favorites?
What a wonderful read. You did not need pictures because you painted those for us.
Keep living the dream kid!
Well, it doesn't surprise me that you're making your way in the sports media world, Elizabeth. You have "pro" written all over you! What a great experience you had. Sounds like you learned so much. All of that AND you met Jim Lonborg!!!!! I'm old enough to remember what an amazing pitcher he was!!!!
Living the dream, and a great time to do it, when you can truly appreciate it. Always good to read your adventures….
What fantastic experiences you're living out! Good for you, Elizabeth! As for that "heaven"… it's where you want to be, all the time. So for me, yeah, a ballpark will do just fine.
You're going to be set for a while with all the connections your making. I'm finding that out little by little especially in journalism. The earlier you get your foot in the door the better. These four years of college have given me great experiences and will take it all with me as I pursue my journalism career. Its just awesome that you are already talented and so far a long.

BEIJING - MARCH 06: Chongqing Municipality Communist Party Secretary Bo Xilai attends a meeting during the annual National People's Congress at the Great Hall of the People on March 6, 2010 in Beijing, China.
(Photo by Feng Li)
"China's Great Leap Backward"
Op-Ed, Newsweek
March 19, 2012
Author: Niall Ferguson, Member of the Board, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
To understand China you have to think in generations, my Chinese friend explained. And the key is that after 2012 the Cultural Revolution generation will be in charge.
While antiwar protesters clashed with the National Guard on American campuses and Czechs defied the Red Army in the streets of Prague, China had the Cultural Revolution. In some ways it was the ultimate 60s teen rebellion. In other ways it was totalitarianism at its worst: a bloody revolution from above unleashed by one of the 20th centurys most ruthless despots.
That it disrupted the lives of a generation is clear. Only consider its effects on the two men poised to inherit the top two positions of president and premier.Xi Jinping was a princeling, the son of one of Mao Zedongs loyal lieutenants. He was just 15 when his father was arrested on Maos order. Xi spent the next six years toiling in the countryside of Yanchuan county in central China. Li Keqiang had a similar experience. No sooner had he graduated from high school than he was sent to labor in the fields of impoverished Anhui province.
To get an idea of what exactly this means, imagine Barack Obama feeding pigs in Iowa or Mitt Romney mending a tractor in Wisconsin. Except that no American farm could ever match the grinding hardship of a Chinese collective farm.
One of Chinas leading economists put it to me like this: The one thing I learned on the collective farmwhich in his case was out west on the Chinese-Soviet borderwas to judge a persons character inside 10 seconds. (As he said this, he gave me a piercing look.) I also learned what really matters in life: to think freelyand to have friends you can trust.
Generational Civil War: The Cultural Revolution began in the summer of 1966, when posters appeared slamming senior party figures as takers of the capitalist road. Mao chimed in, expressing his passionate support for protesting students, whom he christened the Red Guards. This was the cue for young people all over China to flock to Beijing, dressed in identical uniforms and brandishing Maos Little Red Book.
Maos stated ambition was to remove the capitalist elements that were impeding Chinas progress. More likely, he intended to implement a ruthless purge of his critics. Yet the Cultural Revolution soon grew into an all-out civil war between the generations.
Not only party officials but also academics were targeted. In the summer of 1966, more than 1,700 people were beaten to death in Beijing alone, including elderly former landlords and their families. Some victims were killed by having boiling water poured over them; others were forced to swallow nails.
But it did not take long for the revolution to consume itself. Buried in a dingy corner of Chongqings Shapingba Park are the bodies of 537 Red Guards from different factions who, after dealing with their teachers, killed each other.
By the end of 1968 it was clear that China was in a state of anarchy. So the Great Helmsman gave the rudder another swing. Now he ordered the educated youth to go to the countryside to receive reeducation on collective farms. The Red Guards were broken up. The Army reimposed order in the cities. The universities emptied. And a generation of young Chinese exchanged the library for the pigsty.
Revolution Reversion: More than 40 years later, the historian Xu Youyu calls for a total condemnation (chedi fouding) of the Cultural Revolution. Yet his is a minority view. If you visit the National Museum of China in Beijing, you will find almost no reference to the Cultural Revolution. When I tried to interview Xu on the subject last August, we were kicked off the campus of the university where he teaches.
Even more remarkable is the evidence of a growing nostalgia for the Cultural Revolution. During my last visit to China, I ate dinner at a themed restaurant where the waitresses dress up like Red Guards and the floorshow features propaganda songs from the period. Incredibly, just 200 yards away from the graves of Cultural Revolution victims in Chongqing, I saw a group of middle-aged women singing some of these songs, including Chairman Mao Is the Sun That Never Sets.
Until last week, such nostalgia was being encouraged by the Chongqing Party Secretary Bo Xilai, who was hoping for promotion to the all-powerful Standing Committee of the Politburo. The strange thing is that in 1966, Bo and his family were imprisoned for five years, after which they were placed in a labor camp for a further five.
Chinas 60s generation has every reason to remember the years of their youth with bitterness. That many of them feel something more like Maostalgia is just a little scary. But even scarier was the headline in the Financial Times on March 15: Bo Xilai Purged. Just like old times.

Heresy: A deliberate deviation from the orthodox doctrine.
SQLTags (sqltags.org) is, indeed, a deliberate deviation from the orthodoxy of the Model-View-Control (MVC) design pattern; therefore, SQLTags is heresy, but is it necessarily "bad?" In this article, I will introduce the SQLTags toolkit and when it can be successfully employed.
Notwithstanding the recent criticism by N. Alex Rupp in "Beyond MVC," the MVC design pattern is, currently, the gold standard for highly complex web applications developed within the servlet environment. Just subscribe to any of the Struts mailing lists to witness how vibrant this community is. However, as stated on the Struts main page and paraphrased here, Struts (and, by extension, MVC) are not the best choice for every project. The Struts community asserts that only "very simple applications, with a handful of pages" are candidates for non-MVC implementations, and with this I agree; however, the threshold of "very simple" has been changed by the introduction of SQLTags.
SQLTags implements a very simple concept: Database schema as Tag Library. Each table is represented as a JSP tag, a tag that:
update and
delete statements.
delete, and
select statements.
in short, a tag that "knows" the underlying table and how to integrate it into the servlet environment.
This simple concept extends the realm of "very simple" to what previously were moderately complex, data-driven web applications.
SQLTags, available at www.sqltags.org, is a free, open source, object-relational mapping toolkit that provides a new and innovative approach to data-driven web applications development. At the SQLTags core is a generator that builds a JavaBean and JSP tag for each table within a given JDBC schema. The SQLTags Generator packages everything (including built-in tags and support classes) into a single Java Archive (.jar) file for easy deployment into any Java 1.4/Servlet 2.3/JSP 1.2 (or later) J2EE application server. Best of all, SQLTags is quick and easy to learn and understand.
The SQLTags generator accepts a valid (and available) JDBC Driver, JDBC URL, user name, password, schema name, and other options, which are used to reverse-engineer the given database schema into the corresponding .jar file. The resulting .jar file can be deployed into any complaint application server. On the target server, the deployment descriptor (or /WEB-INF/web.xml file) is updated to include context parameters that tell SQLTags how to connect to the same or an identical schema. Once the generated .jar file is successfully deployed into the target application server, JSP pages can use the generated (and built-in) tags contained within the .jar file to implement the desired functionality. Whenever the database is changed, simply use the SQLTags Generator to re-generate the .jar file.
Additionally, SQLTags works well with other Java and JSP industry standards, such as:
${ syntax.
html tags.
SQLTags is both application-server- and database-independent.
There are three steps required to use a SQLTags-generated .jar file:
This section will provide an overview of the functionality available to the JSP developer when using a generated .jar file.
SQLTags adds a number of built-in tags to the generated .jar file. These can be broken down into three main categories:
next, and
where, and
allow, and
The most commonly used built-in tags are
where, and
fetch. The
connection tag is required in every page that needs a connection to the database (almost every page). Connections can come from the built-in SQLTags connection pool defined within the deployment descriptor or from a container-managed
DataSource. The
exception tag outputs JDBC error messages only when things go awry with database operations. The
where and
fetch tags are provided as a mechanism to more easily compose complex
where clauses and explicitly iterate through the
ResultSets. The
statement, and
fetch tags are available to provide functionality similar to the JSTL
sql tag library. (At some point in the future, perhaps, SQLTags will integrate with the JSTL
sql tag library.)
As noted above, each table is represented as a tag, and each of those tags have common attributes and methods, as well as unique, per-column attributes and methods. The common attributes available to all generated tags are:
where, and
Additionally, for each column (COL), there are four generated tag attributes:
COL attributes allow the value of the column to be explicitly set.
COL_FORMAT provides a mechanism for specifying the display format for date and number columns,
COL_SELECT provides a mechanism to override the select-list item for the column, and a
COL_BIND provides a mechanism to override the bind expression used in a
PreparedStatement (every SQLTags SQL statement uses the
PreparedStatement). Some of the more commonly used attributes are:
id: defines the snippet variable that can be used within JSP snippets or EL expressions.
operation: defines an explicit operation to be carried out on the table (
deleteChildren, or
buttonName: defines a request parameter that contains the operation.
foreignKey combined with
parentName: used to nest tags in a parent-child configuration.
paging="true" and
displaySize: define paging behavior.
properties="true": tells the tag to scan the HTTP request for parameter names that match column names.
where: defines the
where condition and causes the tag body to iterate once for each row that satisfies the given condition.
Some of the more useful methods available to all generated tags are
delete(), and
delete(where). Additionally, because each table tag is a JavaBean, each column, COL, has
setCOL() and
getCOL() methods, and each foreign key, FK, has a
getFK() method — again, very useful for EL expressions.
SQLTags makes extensive use of foreign keys. Take a look at any Entity-Relationship Diagram; the glue that holds any database together is the foreign keys. Indeed, in my experience, the majority of the navigation within a data-driven web application centers on the foreign keys, either through parent table lookups or through parent-child nesting. For example, given an employee, "What department is she assigned to?" Given a department, "Who are the employees contained within it?" Given an invoice, "List the invoice line items and related product names." These questions are all answered by foreign keys.
SQLTags provides powerful ways to leverage foreign keys using "declarative access." For example, imagine two tables,
EMP and
DEPT, with a foreign key,
FK_DEPTNO, defined within
EMP referencing
DEPT, as illustrated by Figure 1:
Figure 1. Sample data model
When SQLTags generates our hypothetical
EMP JavaBean, it would contain a
getFK_DEPTNO() method that returns a
DEPT JavaBean. Consider the following JSP 2.0 snippet.
<x:emp id="e" where="order by ENAME">
${e.ENAME} belongs to Department
As expected, the column values are easily accessible using EL (the beginning of the second line) based on standard JavaBean syntax; however (and perhaps not expectedly), the foreign keys are also available in exactly the same way! Need the department name,
DNAME, for a given employee? Simply use the foreign key
FK_DEPTNO as the getter for the related department. Wow!
SQLTags also provides a mechanism for nesting children records within their parents, again, using foreign keys. Consider the following JSP 2.0 snippet.
<x:dept id="d" where="order by DNAME">

${d.DNAME} has the following employees:
<x:emp id="e" foreignKey="FK_DEPTNO"
Again, note how easily the list of employees for a given department can be obtained simply by knowing the foreign key name and the
id of the
DEPT tag.
Finally, consider how simple it is for a programmer (or even a designer, heaven forbid) to look at an Entity-Relationship Diagram and start connecting the dots.
sqltags-1-0-6.war (or the latest version) web application file from the SQLTags web site at sqltags.org/downloads.jsp and deploy it into your favorite J2EE application server. Note that SQLTags requires Java 1.4, Servlet 2.3 or later, JSP 1.2 or later, and a suitable JDBC driver for your specific database.
The SQLTags web application comes with pre-installed JDBC drivers for Oracle, MySQL, and Sybase. The JDBC Driver for Microsoft SQL Server is also included, but is in the /WEB-INF/extras directory and must be manually moved into /WEB-INF/lib in order to access a SQL Server database.
Note: the
javac executable must be accessible via the
PATH variable (by the application server) in order to compile the generated JavaBean classes.
To deploy the
sqltags-1-0-6.war file into the Tomcat application server, for example, simply copy the .war file into the CATALINA_HOME/webapps directory, restart the server, and access the
/sqltags-1-0-6/ URI on your deployment host using your browser. For example, if you were running Tomcat on your local workstation on port 8080, you would use the following URL to run the SQLTags web application:
http://localhost:8080/sqltags-1-0-6/. The SQLTags web application contains information and samples for running the generator, deploying the .jar files, and building JSP pages.
To execute the generator from your browser, simply click on the
"run ..." link near the top of the page (using the above example, the URL would be
http://localhost:8080/sqltags-1-0-6/generate.jsp). Fill in all of the fields and click on the
"Generate!" button. That's it, really!
The generate screen contains detailed descriptions for each input field. Basically, you'll need to specify:
Once the generator completes, you should see output in the browser window showing that each table was processed.
The generated .jar file is saved into the /WEB-INF/tmp directory using the file name specified in the
JAR Filename input field. (Note that future releases of SQLTags will likely place the generated .jar file in the /tmp directory under the web application.)
Note: SQLTags will not generate foreign key references to tables that are either not contained within the generated .jar file due to wildcard exclusion, or do not have a primary key.
Deployment of the generated .jar file is accomplished in two steps:
You'll likely need to restart the web application for the changes to take effect.
Context parameters are added to the /WEB-INF/web.xml deployment descriptor immediately after the
<web-app> tag, using the following syntax:
The list of SQLTags context parameters is as follows:
SQLTags.useCM: Short for "use internal Connection Manager." Valid values are
true or
false, SQLTags will use a
DataSource and ignore the other SQLTags JDBC context parameters (listed below).
SQLTags.dataSource: Identifies the default
dataSource to be used by the
ConnectionTag when no
dataSource attribute is supplied and
useCM is
false; default value is
jdbc/SQLTagsDS. Note: a
DataSourceis used when
useCM is
false or when a
connectionTag explicitly references a
dataSource from the
dataSource attribute.
SQLTags.bindStrings: Should almost always be set to
false. When
true, all database
bindings are processed as strings;
false, all numerical and date data types are processed as the correct native Java type.
Greatly helps with compatibility among different databases.
The following parameters are only used when
SQLTags.useCM is
true. When
useCM is
false, the JDBC parameters are defined externally within a
SQLTags.databaseDriver: The JDBC database driver as specified by JDBC vendor.
SQLTags.connectionUrl: The JDBC connection URL as specified by JDBC vendor.
SQLTags.maxPoolSize: Maximum number of JDBC connections for the connection pool.
SQLTags.poolSize: Default size of the JDBC connection pool.
SQLTags.userName: Database user for JDBC connections.
SQLTags.password: Database user's password.
SQLTags development starts with a well-defined data model. So for the purposes of this article, I will refer to the "classic"
EMP-DEPT data model that was shown above in Figure 1.
EMP data with related
DEPT name.
In this first example, I will demonstrate a simple JSP page that displays a listing of all rows from the
EMP table and their assigned
<%@ taglib uri="demoTags.jar" prefix="sqltags" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"
prefix="c" %>
<title>JSP Page</title>
<%-- uses configuration from web.xml. --%>
<sqltags:connection id="connect" >
<sqltags:emp id="e" where="order by ename">
<c:out value="${e.ENAME}"/> assigned to
<c:out value="${e.FK_DEPTNO.DNAME}"/>
The first two lines introduce the two tag libraries used within the JSP page. The
<sqltags:connection> tag is used to access the JDBC connection pool that must wrap all of the other SQLTags tags. The next line introduces the
EMP tag and defines a
where clause that matches all rows and orders the results by
ENAME. The JSTL
<c:out> tags are used to output the
ENAME property from the
EMP JavaBean (
ENAME is a column from the
EMP table). Finally, the
DNAME property from the related
DEPT table is output for each
EMP in the table.
Viewing the above page from the browser would yield the output shown in Figure 2, provided we have suitable data in the database:
Figure 2. Sample output: single table query
EMP within
In the second example, I will demonstrate a simple JSP page that implements the parent-child configuration listing
EMPs within each

Again, the first two lines introduce the two tag libraries used within the JSP page. The
<sqltags:connection> tag is used to access the JDBC connection pool, and must wrap all of the other SQLTags tags. The
DEPT tag defines a

DNAME. The next line outputs the department name (
DNAME) and the
blockquote provides a visual indentation showing employees that belong to each department. The
EMP tag provides the mechanism to nest the employees within the related
DEPT. The
foreignKey attribute tells the
EMP tag which foreign to use to reference (join to) the
DEPT tag, and the
parentName attribute identifies which
DEPT tag instance should be referenced. The next line simply outputs each employee name, one per line.
Figure 3 shows sample output from this page:
Figure 3. Sample output: parent-child nesting
I've just scratched the surface of what is possible with SQLTags. There is a lot more functionality available within the tool set, including:
update, and
delete in HTML.
deny, and
auth tags.
BLOB and
CLOB column types, paging of results, etc.
Hopefully, you've seen enough to whet your interest to investigate further. MVC is a great design pattern, but SQLTags can be successfully employed when used to develop a data-driven web application that closely follows a well-defined data model with limited processing logic.
Basically, for data-in, data-out applications, SQLTags is just the ticket.

Plans for new Mad Rooster Cafe net final approval from Waukesha Plan Commission
Waukesha residents could have a new breakfast dining spot in less than a year.
The city's plan commission on July 27 unanimously approved final site and architectural designs for the Mad Rooster Cafe, a 7,000-square foot country-themed restaurant that will expand and heavily remodel the space vacated by Hardee's at 130 NW Barstow St.
Local developer Alan Huelsman, who owns the restaurant's property, said the Mad Rooster could be up and running in about 11 months if everything goes according to plan.
Proposals for the restaurant have come before the commission on two previous occasions this year, most recently receiving preliminary approval in June.
One feature of the plans — the location of a mechanical unit atop the building — did give city planning staff some pause, but Huelsman said moving the unit shouldn't be a problem.» Read Full Article
Unfavorable weather crimps attendance at Waukesha County Fair
Heat advisories and intermittent thunderstorms last week resulted in a notable drop in overall attendance at the Waukesha County Fair this year.
Fair Executive Director Chrissy Gluege said despite a strong start fair attendance was down due to unfavorable weather conditions. The fair ran from July 20-24.
Although the opening day attendance mark was the third-highest in the event's 174-year history, the total number of people who passed through the fair's turnstiles was 84,515 — well below last year's mark of 119,104 visitors.
"We have no control over the weather, but we are already looking forward to planning 2017," Gluege said.
This was the first time the fair experienced an excessive heat warning all five days, according to a news release.» Read Full Article
Judge: Prison for Waukesha man who led police on naked, drug-fueled pursuit
Leading police on a naked, drug-fueled jaunt through the city is good for about a year in prison, according to one Waukesha County Circuit judge.
A prison term was only part of the sentence, however, for Waukesha resident Mark Hunkins, the man leading the chase in this instance, who pleaded guilty late last month in Waukesha County Circuit Court to one felony offense tied to the incident.
Judge Michael Aprahamian subsequently sentenced Hunkins to a year and two months in prison and two years of extended supervision, according to online court records.
As conditions of his probation, Hunkins, who has prior drug-related convictions on his record, must perform 50 hours of community service, maintain absolute sobriety and submit to an alcohol and other drug abuse assessment and follow through on any recommended treatment.
Hunkins, 29, was charged June 7 with a host of felony and misdemeanor offenses after police pulled him, naked, out of the Fox River following an overnight pursuit about a week earlier.» Read Full Article
Waukesha man accused of spitting on, trying to bite police officers
A surprise nap in a food court bathroom at an area mall for one Waukesha man morphed into an encounter with police and, eventually, criminal charges after the man allegedly spit on and tried to bite two police officers.
The man, Aaron Davis, 33, was charged Monday, July 25, in Waukesha County Circuit Court with throwing or discharging bodily fluids at a public safety worker, misdemeanor disorderly conduct and resisting an officer — all as repeat offenses.
According to a criminal complaint, emergency personnel were called to Brookfield Square, 95 N. Moorland Road, last Friday, July 22, after someone found Davis passed out in one of the food court bathrooms on the west side of the mall.
Brookfield police reportedly believed Davis had been drinking — he smelled like booze and was slurring his words, the complaint said — when they spoke to him and arranged for someone to come pick him up and take him home.
However, when that man arrived, officers discovered he had an active warrant for his arrest and told Davis to wait while they sorted out the issue.» Read Full Article
Ex-Kmart site in Waukesha to grow with new freestanding retail building
The Sunset Crossings development continues to grow.
The Waukesha Plan Commission on July 27 unanimously approved final site and architectural plans for a freestanding multi-tenant building to be constructed on an outlot at the former Kmart site, 120 E. Sunset Dr.
Two fast-food restaurants and a retail business, all thus far unnamed, will occupy the 6,400 square-foot building, according to planning documents, which will be constructed in front of the plaza that replaced Kmart, on an island outlot, surrounded on all sides by a parking lot.
The former Kmart building now houses an Xperience Fitness, Dollar Tree, Rogan's Shoes and Kohl's Off/Aisle.
Plans for the new building received preliminary conditional approval from the commission in June, and the development overall has revitalized the business climate in the area, city staff, officials and developers have said.» Read Full Article
Court of Appeals: Slender Man stabbing defendants stay in adult court
Two Waukesha girls who were 12 when prosecutors say they tried to kill their sixth-grade classmate are properly charged as adults, the Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday.
The decision affirmed a trial judge's ruling last year that Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier had failed to show, "by a preponderance of evidence," that they should be transferred from adult court to juvenile court.
That decision, according to the appeals court, was within the judge's discretion.
"We will not overturn a circuit court's discretionary determination if the record reflects that discretion was exercised; instead, we will seek out reasons to sustain the decision."
Angie Geyser said she was disappointed and noted the opinion misstates that her daughter, diagnosed with early onset schizophrenia, refuses medication. Morgan Geyser started medication after her civil commitment to a state mental hospital about seven months ago.» Read Full Article
Power outage temporarily closes Waukesha County Courthouse, administrative buildings
Proceedings inside the Waukesha County Courthouse, 515 W. Moreland Blvd, were temporarily suspended this morning due to a power outage in the surrounding area.
Staff there said the courthouse and administrative buildings would be closed to the public until Wednesday afternoon, July 27. A news release said those buildings would reopen around 11:30 a.m. and that court calendars would resume at 1:30 p.m.
It was not immediately clear what caused the outage, however lights were on inside the courthouse and administrative buildings when a reporter stopped by around 11:15 a.m.
A post on the courthouse's Facebook page said jail visitation is also on hold until power is restored, but county staff remains available to take public phone calls.
The Juvenile Center has power and remains open, according to the post. Juvenile visitation, court hours or other business at the center were not affected.
Assembly District 83 candidates agree on taxes, differ on opiate issue
Wisconsin's State Assembly District 83 will have a new face representing it in Madison this election cycle.
Incumbent David Craig (R-Vernon) chose not to run this year for seat, so the position is up for grabs, with four Republican candidates — Karen Schuh of Mukwonago, Steve Whittow and Chuck Wichgers of Muskego and Jordan Karweik of Waterford — squaring off in the Aug. 9 partisan primary to narrow the race ahead of the Nov. 8 general election.
All the candidates, except Karweik, responded to MyCommunityNow's brief questionnaire about their agendas moving forward. Karweik did not return numerous phone and email messages seeking comment.
1. What, in your opinion, is the biggest issue facing the district, and how do you propose to solve it?
Karen Schuh: The issues in my district vary depending on where they live, and if I had to pick one prevailing issue it would have to be lowering their taxes. I would work tirelessly to find ways to reduce taxes and work with other legislators to achieve a lower tax rate for property and business owners.» Read Full Article
Waukesha planning staff mulling another downtown apartment project
Is one more apartment complex what downtown Waukesha needs?
That might be among the questions being pondered by city staff as they review a proposed apartment project just west of the corner of Main and Barstow streets.
The project, dubbed Clearpoint, calls for a five-story, 64-unit apartment building to be built between Main Street Plaza and the former Panos building on a currently vacant lot that was once the site of Walgreens.
Sterling Investments, a Brookfield-based development company, has proposed the roughly 110,000-square-foot project, according to Waukesha planning staff.
The building would have 56 one-bedroom units and eight two-bedroom units, and consists of residential units on top of a concrete podium with two levels of indoor parking. The parking — 98 covered spaces and four surface spaces — would be situated in the lower level and on the first floor, with residences on the second through fifth floors, according to planning documents.» Read Full Article
GOP vice presidential candidate Mike Pence to hold rally at Waukesha County Expo Center
Despite, or perhaps because of, a loss for Donald Trump — the Republican presidential candidate — here in the April presidential primary, Trump's pick for vice president, Mike Pence, will be making his first solo stop on their campaign trail in Waukesha.
The Republican Party of Waukesha County confirmed Pence's appearance Tuesday afternoon, July 26 in an event post on its website.
Pence is scheduled to appear at a rally around 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 27 at the Waukesha County Expo Center, 1000 Northview Road.
Trump, who in Wisconsin lost to Sen. Ted Cruz by a 13-point margin in the spring primary, named Pence as the other half of the GOP ticket in the November presidential election at the Republican National Convention last week.
Wisconsin is considered a battleground state in elections — which means that candidates will frequently make stops here during their campaigns in an effort to sway voters — and Waukesha County is a Republican stronghold.» Read Full Article
Waukesha panel OKs La Casa de Esperanza's charter school expansion
Anselmo Villarreal's vision for the future of La Casa de Esperanza is coming alive.
The Waukesha Plan Commission recently approved the final site and architectural plans for a charter school expansion at La Casa, 410 Arcadian Ave., that will add 43,452 square feet to the organization's current site.
The plans call for a three-story addition to the existing building to accommodate the growing charter school, which opened last fall with 88 students for 4- and 5-year-old kindergarten classes.
Construction of the addition, which is anticipated to be open by September 2017, is the first in a three-phase $8 million capital campaign to build a state-of-the-art school, said Villarreal, La Casa's chief operating officer.
Commissioners granted unanimous approval to the charter school design plans, and two other procedural items — a street vacation and a certified survey map — for La Casa.» Read Full Article
New Latin American restaurant Arepanitas opens near downtown Waukesha
Francisco Mohamed wanted to bring a little Latin American flavor to the Waukesha food scene, and he's done exactly that.
Mohamed, who's from Venezuela, opened his new "Latin fusion" restaurant, Arepanitas, 136 E. St. Paul Ave., on July 14. So far, business has been promising — with some room for improvement, he said.
"Thank God, so far so good," he said, and added that he wanted to continue to get the word out about his small takeout restaurant.
"We need to be in the mind of the people," he explained.
According to its website, the restaurant is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.» Read Full Article
Complaint: Waukesha woman, drunk, grabbed gun following phone dispute
Don't bring a gun to a cellphone fight might be the lesson learned by one Waukesha woman who's facing criminal charges for allegedly doing just that.
Betty Dyer, 51, was charged Monday, July 18, in Waukesha County Circuit Court with disorderly conduct (use of a dangerous weapon) and possession of a firearm while intoxicated, both misdemeanors. Online court records show she's free on a $2,000 signature bond.
According to a criminal complaint, Dyer grabbed a gun and pounded on one of her neighbor's doors July 16 in the 2100 block of Kensington Drive, demanding to be let in, after the neighbor accidentally damaged Dyer's phone when tossing it to another person.
Dyer reportedly asked the neighbor, a man, to remove his phone number from her device and the man tried to toss the phone to the third neighbor who said she knew how to remove the number. The toss was short and the phone's screen cracked when it hit the ground, according to the complaint.
After the screen broke, Dyer reportedly grabbed her Bersa Thunder .380-caliber handgun and marched over to the man's apartment, insisting he open the door, the complaint said. At one point, according to the complaint, she identified herself as a Waukesha police officer in an attempt to get inside the man's home.» Read Full Article

The Residence Councils are composed of students who live in the residence halls or university-owned apartments. They are the governing bodies for the halls and apartments and focus on issues within the halls or apartments and provide activities for residents.
Each Residence Council is formed at the beginning of the fall semester when residents vote for the Residence Council Executive Board. Hall Council executive boards include president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, RHA representative(s) and, sometimes, positions like a historian. Each hall also has a residence hall senator who is on the Hall Council executive board and attends MUSG meetings. RHA representatives are a part of the Residence Council and RHA.
Informational sessions are held during the first week of classes, and elections for executive board positions happen during the second week of classes. Each wing/floor/apartment selects a voting representative(s) to attend the Residence Council meetings and be the voice of students.
Residence Council meetings are held on Tuesday evenings and open to all student residents.

Native Distance Runners Star in 'Run to the East' Documentary
A new documentary, Run to the East, about three American Indian high school distance runners and Wings of America participants, made its debut at The Arizona International Film Festival in Tucson on April 10. Produced by Moxie Pictures, which has represented acclaimed film directors such as Wes Anderson and Cameron Crowe, the documentary is now airing at film festivals across the country, next at the Indie Spirit Film Festival in Colorado Springs, Colorado on April 15 and 16.
The 87-minute documentary tracks three high school seniors and Wings participants: Chantel "Tails" Hunt (Navajo), Thomas Martinez (Navajo) and Dillon Shije (Zia Pueblo, NM) high school seniors competing in national track meets and vying for college scholarships. The film was inspired by a 2008 The New York Times article about Navajo youth runners overcoming the poor health conditions that afflict a disproportionate number of residents on the 27,000-acre Navajo reservation. The article also touches on their involvement in the nonprofit organization Wings of America, which educates American Indian youth against drug abuse and addiction and encourages them to succeed. Wings of America also leads a competitive group of American Indian runners from reservations around the country. "You say Wings of America to anyone in the running community—it's synonymous with the best Native American runners," said Eric Heins, the cross-country and distance coach at Northern Arizona University, reported the Times.
The documentary seeks to defy the "negative stereotypes of American Indians," such as drug use, alcoholism and violence, regularly reinforced in western media, according to the film's website. "People have stereotypes about us not being healthy and going down the wrong road as far as alcohol and drugs," said Dillon Shije, a Navajo runner and senior at Sandia Prep High School at the time of filming, on the film's website. "I want to prove to people that we are still here and can still be as fast."
As the film's website says, "Endurance running has long been a key spiritual element of Native American cultures—one through which individuals can demonstrate strength and resilience."
Thomas Martinez, a senior at Navajo Pine High School at the time of filming, knows that perseverance. "My dad always told me, 'Run through life.' What he means by that is, if you run, it will get you through life," Martinez said.

Get well Don Zimmer and Dodgers at Chicago
From Clif of http://Raysrenegage.mlblogs.com I found this:
I recently heard Zimmer had been absent from his customary seat in the Trop. since right after the first home series against the New York Yankees, I became nervous and anxious. I have come to find out Zimmer has been has been hospitalized in the last week with a kidney condition and will soon begin the dialysis process. I came to find out "The Zim" has been hospitalized 3 times in the last 5 weeks for diabetic related ailments,
Zimmer's son Tom offered a nugget of future hope today when talking about Zim again taking his rightful spot again in Tropicana Field. "Once his Father gets comfortable with the dialysis schedule and routine he should be back with the Rays".
Get well Zim. You got all of baseball rooting for you.
Here is a picture Jon SooHoo posted in his blog http://dodgersphotog.mlblogs.com from 1990. Don Zimmer, Tommy Lasorda & Harry Caray.
Is been so long since I've seen a "skinny" Lasorda. Do some of you remember when he was on that Slim Fast diet?
Dodgers lost the first game in Chicago. Tomorrow's game at 10:05 Pacific Time.
Dodgers come back Monday to play the Giants. I will be a "Tour Guide" for a returning soldier that is making his dream a reality to travel to all 30 stadiums. He should be at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday. I will tell you more about later. His blog is at http://baseballdreamin.blogspot.com/2012/02/trip.html
5 Comments
Thought other Dodger fans would like to know. Hopefully he will be back to the ballpark. My friend Marika's husband is on dialysis. I took Markika to her first baseball game last year. She told her husband how much she enjoyed it. Now her husband wants to experience his first baseball game with me so I will be taking them to a game this year.

Rock Co. volunteers hope debate excitement translates into votes
Democrats, Republicans hold debate-watch parties
The eyes of the nation are on Centre College in Kentucky on Thursday night, and both Democrats and Republicans are hoping excitement over the only vice-presidential debate will translate into votes for their candidate.
Don Hilbig, of Beloit, is pounding the pavement for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan. He said Ryan's roots in Rock County will help him connect with families during the vice-presidential debate.
"He may lift up Janesville as an example of American roots and American spirit and of challenges facing Rock County," Hilbig said.
A few blocks away, Judy Vaughn was busy Thursday rallying support for President Barack Obama.
"Just because (Ryan) is from Janesville doesn't mean I would support him, because I don't really think he understands the needs of Janesville," Vaughn said.
She said she's confident that Vice President Joe Biden's record and experience will speak to middle-class families.
"I have all the confidence in the world in him (Biden). He's got good background, and I think he'll do very well," Vaughn said.
Hilbig said he believes Ryan will perform well in the debate.
"From past debates and past experience, I think Paul will credit himself very well," Hilbig said. "To see him come alive on the national stage, it's exciting."
Both sides said the true victory will be on Nov. 6, but for now they will be glued to their televisions.
Both groups are inviting supporters to debate-watch parties in Janesville on Thursday night. The Democrats are hosting a party at the UAW Hall and the Republicans will be at the Holiday Inn Express.

Nope. I won't be writing about that today. Maybe not even for awhile. Maybe never.
Today I had one of those moments of being hit so hard with reality that the moment was hard to bear. It's bad enough that this has destroyed what was my life. But to look into the eyes of someone I love and see the pain and destruction there as well....It was almost too hard to bear. I thought to myself. I have to die. That's the only way out. It's the only way to release someone else from this horrible suffering as well.
I was already feeling badly physically and emotionally. I'm scared that the treatment direction is so unclear. I feel like a ship without an anchor tossed about in a storm.
I don't even know if I'm making sense. I don't much care at the moment. I have no where else to turn. No one else to turn to but this blog. One of the hard things about this illness is that people really have no idea what it's like to live with this. To have one's energy just sucked away. I don't know how to describe it. It's not like I can call any of my vanished friends and say "I really need to cry on your shoulder." The truth is I have no one to call and express how frightened I am.
I don't know how to cope with this anymore. I was doing somewhat okay for the past year but somehow the move cemented the fact that this isn't a temporary thing.
My CFIDS doctor is certain (as certain as one can be with this illness) that Valcyte is the only thing to do at this point. I'm not convinced. He hasn't even done very much testing so I don't see how he can be convinced yet he's the only person I have on my treatment team that has a partial clue.
I'd love to go to therapy but I don't have the money for that. Nor can I count on having the energy to make it to a weekly appointment.
I'm staring this illness in the face and I don't like that what I see reflected back is me.
I'll go on for another day and hope tomorrow is better. At least tomorrow I can call my CFIDS doctor's office to make an appointment.

I am so sorry you are struggling so much right now. What you are writing I have felt myself and I know that many many CFS sufferers feel or have felt the same way. When I wrote the newsletter for the chronically ill they would express these feelings at times. There are people who understand your fears, despair and confusion with this awful illness.
You remain in my thoughts.

My daughter is 9 mo and continues to nurse frequently when we are together. When she's in daycare (3 days/week), I pump. I've noticed recently that my supply is diminishing when I pump - I used to be able to pump 16 oz./day, and now I'm down to at most 10 oz./day. But she'll drink whatever I leave for her at daycare, so I'm concerned that I'm going to have to supplement because I can't keep up anymore.
What's going on? What should I do? I really don't want to have to supplement with formula, especially not at this stage when it's gone so beautifully for 9 months.
Also, I am almost out of frozen milk so that's got me concerned.

Many of today's college grads have shunned the traditional majors for things a bit more unique.
Here are some of the most unusual college majors.
Puppetry. Offered by the school since 1964, puppetry has been a staple of UConn's Dramatic Arts department.
Canadian studies. Duke's Center for Canadian Studies offers undergraduate and graduate courses, which can be applied toward an undergraduate double major or minor, or a graduate certificate.
Sex. San Francisco State University allows students to earn either a master's degree or a minor degree in Sexuality Studies, which the school says provides students with knowledge about the processes and variations in sexual functions and reproduction, relationships, sexual- and gender-role development and behavior.
Decision-making. Indiana University offers a doctoral program in decision sciences that focuses on the quantitative methods used to aid decision-making in business environments.
Fermentation sciences. Appalachian State University in North Carolina offers a degree in fermentation sciences, which, among other things, examines how beer and wine are made.
Gunsmithing. From pistols to rifles, Lassen Community College offers students a chance to learn everything they can about guns.
Pop culture. Students who love television, movies, comedy and magazines will certainly enjoy majoring in popular-culture studies at Bowling Green State University.
Professional nanny. Kentucky's Sullivan University offers a 12-month program that allows students to earn a professional nanny diploma, a certificate from the American Council of Nanny Schools and CPR and first-aid certifications.
Auctioneering. Talking quickly is just one of the skills that graduates of Harrisburg Area Community College's auctioneering program will learn.
The Beatles. Few can claim to love the Beatles more than those who earn a master's degree on John, Paul, George and Ringo from Liverpool Hope University in the United Kingdom.

RSBS Presents: Jesus' Greatest B-Sides
Not content with being just the son of god or co-author of the best-selling book in history, Jesus has been on a rampage as of late. Whether showing up in professional athletes' thank yous or inspiring American presidents into wasteful wars thousands of miles away from American shores, JC has moved up in the world from simple carpenter to internationally recognized architect.
In honor of Jesus' (pronounced a la espagnol) spate of success, it only seemed fair that we honor him like we have honored other life changers. But how do you go about honoring a man with such an impressive resume? The hits are so well-known that repeating them just seems, well, repetitive.
So, we came up with another measure. Every best selling artist has a set of secondary works that, although impressive in their own right, never make quite the same splash as the ones set on repeat. However, maybe it's time they get a little airplay of their own. To that end, RSBS would like to present Jesus' greatest B-sides.
Personal Jesus
We've all heard the story about how Jesus gave someone the confidence or the extra push they needed to make it through something difficult. But what about the guy who wasn't able to get that second wind and ended up flat on his face 2 miles short of the marathon finish line? Was it because Jesus tripped him? Turns out that Jesus really is always there and often responsible for the failures. In fact, we now have proof (although it is only available via an artist's rendering of the occasion).
Just the Two of Us
There's nothing wrong with having an imaginary friend. I had one named Paul when I was growing up. Sometimes that imaginary friend can be a big d!ck, though:
Jesus Hates the Cubs
No list would be complete without the modern day favorite and RSBS production, Jesus Hates the Cubs. And it's extra funny because it's true:
So, there you have it, a contemporary hit list of JC's lesser known smashes. Keep 'em coming, big guy. You must have another Crusade in you at least.

Jesus H. Christ, that was greatness. You're on a roll Allen!
(and JHC never, ever gets old)
You had to go Depeche Mode on me didn't you.
But then again, it is an awesome song, even got a dozen remix selection on I-Tunes.
But, I do have my own personal Jesus, who is a reliever for the Seattle Mariners, but hopefully he has not been asked to walk across Puget Sound yet……yet for that team.
But then you have to go and pull another RSBS classic out, but then again….Jesus and the Devil both hate the Cubs, so it is a love-hate thing we got brewing there.
Maybe we can get Keanu Reeves to play Constantine again and he dig into this whole Jesus thing from the dark side…maybe.

AAaaahhhh! After visiting Jeff's alter-ego site…as soon as I saw the first pic in this post, I was already rollin! Jesus may hate the Cubs but those were great views of ChiTown.
Jesus in the Park would'uv needed a miracle to escape the beat down he wudda got here! I know the Chi ain't puttin up wit that nonsense either. great vids!
shared those vids with buddies on facebook. hilarious! im cracking up at work!
and Jeff the Pirates send a big you are welcome for sweeping the Cubs! See your boys at PNC Park this weekend!
That first Jesus in the park reminded me of the GEICO caveman only with facial hair. Always laugh at the JHTC vid. Just to clarify, does this mean you hate the Cubs more than you hate the Yankees?

Sam Miyasato pays his bill like clockwork, but he said it doesn't mean he likes it.
The Kalihi resident doesn't like the new monthly billing system or the extra $7.50 billing charge he is shelling out to help pay for upgrades to an aging system.
But Miyasato is perplexed over why his bill dropped dramatically, then soared the next month. What's up with that, he asks.
"When they send me one so low and the next so high, I question how accurate it is," said Miyasato.
At a Board of Water Supply meeting on Monday, members took the city's chief engineer to task. Trying to make sure people understand what's happening with their bills.
And this week, the city council takes up a resolution calling for the Board Water Supply's to reexamine its billing charge.
Councilman Joey Manahan wonders whether single family users are paying more than their fair share, dishing out a flat fee of $7.50 every month which he says is the same billing fee for larger users.
"This also applies to commercial properties, hotels, or buildings which could have hundreds of users. I was questioning the fairness of that," said Manahan.
Manahan says with 10 percent rate hikes expected every year over the next three years, he just wants to make sure the little guy isn't carrying the load.
"The thing that triggered it for me is that the neighbor islands charge by the size of your water main. Here on Oahu, we are charging you regardless of the size the same flat rate," said Manahan.
Manahan said he asked the Board of Water Supply the same questions six months ago and is still waiting for an answer.
Sam Miyasato has a pretty simple take on his bills.
"If I use it I am willing to pay for it. I just hope that overall I am being billed fairly," Miyasato said.

J-9: Last Days in Paris
Hello, everyone! Welcome to my blog about my two month experience traveling to Niamey, Niger, to intern with the MNDHP. I want to learn about Niger's fragile democracy and what steps Nigeriens are taking to improve it.
Nine days until departure (provided the Nigerien embassy comes through with a visa on Friday). I have my Air France tickets, numerous vaccinations, almost $400 worth of Malarone anti-malarial medication, and a place to stay lined up. Not yet sure what I'm going to eat or wear, or how I'm going to carry money, but I am confident these difficulties will be surmounted.
For my post title, I've adopted a French standard: J stands for jour, or day. I've seen a lot of this in Paris, since we are now at J-4 for the European Parliament elections I've been working on. My semester in Paris has been wonderful, and even though I'm incredibly excited about Africa, leaving Paris for Southern California would be hard enough. Leaving for Niger is going to be a real challenge. Un défi.
Every conversation I have in French here has taken on an additional sense of urgency, since French will be my lifeline in "Françafrique," or Francophone Africa. After several months in France, I no longer worry about basic communication, but I'm hoping for more than basic. I want to be able to get to know local people beyond asking where to find good fruit or how to get across town.
There has been a political crisis in Niger since President Mamadou Tandja dissolved parliament in response to the constitutional court's ruling against his plan to hold a referendum to deliver him an unconstitutional third presidential term. If you haven't heard about it yet, don't be surprised. Reuters' international news wire has devoted no more than 2 short articles to coverage of the crisis since it began more than a week ago. There has been very little violence so far, and I hope and pray it is resolved peacefully. For good, up-to-date coverage of the situation, see www.niger1.com.
A très bientôt!

Mister Vin Diesel got me thinking about mix drinks and I wondered what names there may be for simple mixes (i.e. not cocktails) in various countries, so I've started this frivolous thread. To get us started....
beer & lemonade = shandy (Brit.); ? (U.S.)
beer & cola = ?
hot chocolate & rum = ?
beer & gin = dog's nose (Brit.)
juice & champagne = ?
BTW. What do the British call a cider with raspberry/berry juice?

beer & lemonade = shandy (bitter shandy)
lager & lemonade = lager shandy
beer & Guinness = black & tan
lager & cider = snakebite
champagne & Guinness = black velvet
champagne & orange juice = buck's fizz (I think)
"and black" means with a dash of blackcurrant, e.g. cider and black
"top" means a splash of lemonade (or possibly lime, I don't know which -- not something I do personally (yeuch) --), e.g. lager top
gin & port = flesh & blood (I found this in Georgette Heyer: it's remarkably good)

Lemonade and Orange juice is "St Martins"
Lager topped with bitter is "Golden"
Mild and Bitter is "Arf an Arf" (i.e. Half and half, for those O/S the UK)
a version of snake bite (see prev. post) known as "death bite" is made from Carlsberg Special Brew with Strongbow Cider (Whew!!! many pubs round here refuse to serve the mixture, which makes people very beligerent)

Oh, Faldage, what your missing! It is most delicious! This used to turn my prim and proper grandmother into a dancing maniac. It is easy and quick to get drunk on it because it is sweet and pleasant.

Lemonade and Orange juice is "St Martins"
I thought Lemonade and Orange was "St. Clements" as in the rhyme "Oranges and Lemons, say the bells of St. Clements".
A "Pauper's Black Velvet" is Guinness and Cider.
"Buck's Fizz" is as tentatively proposed twice previously, Champagne and Orange.
But I have never heard of many already mentioned.

actually, most of the libations mentioned here are not servered "on the rocks"-- (from ice looking like diamonds?)--
and in a long ago previous thread-- I mentioned that i don't like beer-- but will occationally have a little-- but over ice.
what about Gin and Organge-- Screwdriver
and Vodka and Orange -- Oranage Blossum (or is it the other way round?)
vodka and tomato -- "bloody Mary" and Gin and Tomato ??
--and any know the 3 jays? Jack Daniels, Jim Beam and Jose C..??(i think, or is it 3 kings? any one out there know-- This grandma has been known to become a bit of a maniac doing shots of 3's )
and I am one with Faldage-- coke and beer-- Its the worst of two worlds!
My own grandmother solution to "fear of flying" was a manhattan before you went to airport, a manhattan at the airport-- and when the steward on the plane said "anything to drink?" an other manhattan-- when you wake up-- you're in NY!_________________________

Either separately, OK. Together, ewww!
I have a friend who worked with troubled youngsters; one of them finished off my friend's bottle of single malt, which would have been bad enough in itself but it was done mixed with Pepsi®.
