Its relationship to the more common genre of incantation bowls and its use in a rite of magic seem clear enough. But until more ...

Thrift store guide
Note: The contents of this guide were checked for accuracy when this article was updated on Feb. 24, 2003 at 5:09 a.m. We continually update the thousands of articles on OnMilwaukee.com, but it's possible some details, specials and offers may have changed. As always, we recommend you call first if you have specific questions for the businesses mentioned in the guide.
Secondhand shopping can save you money. Wouldn't you rather pay 95¢ for a perfect pinstriped shirt from Eddie Bauer, than the $39.95 catalog price? For some, the thrill isn't in the bargains, but in rifling through generations of junk and finding treasures. And of course there are the environmental benefits of re-using.
Here are some tips:
Mr. and Mrs. Cleans. Although thrift stores are making great strides toward improved merchandise displays, window dressings and overall cleanliness, many are far from immaculate. If you have disaffection for dust, bits of crud or unpleasant smells, thrifting may not be for you. To combat the dirt, pack some handi-wipes and hand lotion.
Don't wear your Sunday best. First, you don't want to get the aforementioned crud on your clothes. In an opposite world to department stores, you will also likely get treated better by the staff, get the scoop on upcoming sales, etc.
Leave your friend at home. He or she will just slow you down. You'll also avoid arguments if you don't both simultaneously dive for that great leather jacket marked at a mere $20.
Organization. Clothes are usually organized by color and/or type. Some stores have special sections for extra large clothing, maternity and the like. Furniture is often in the basement or the back of the store or in the basement.
Pricing -- it's a mystery. Most stores have daily or monthly sales based on the type of item (e.g. jackets) or the color of the price tag. The signs near the register tell you what is on sale that day but sometimes deciphering them isn't worth the effort unless its a big ticket item such as furniture. When you're ready to pay, estimate the price of all your items based on the tags and the signs and then smile happily when the cashier gives you change.
Paying. Bring cash. Some stores take checks or credit cards (such as Salvation Army stores), but most do not.
Check out. Bring your patience and good manners. The actual checkout process can also be slow because of the previously mentioned sign confusion, language differences between customers and employees, older cash registers and even older patrons.
Come Again. Be prepared to revisit stores several times before you find a "treasure." As a sign at the North Avenue Value Village advises: "We will have what you need -- eventually. We just don't know when."
Here is a list of some thrift stores in the Milwaukee area. The larger chains have regular hours, while those operated by churches, Junior Leagues, etc. have much more limited hours. The church-sponsored stores usually hold a blockbuster rummage sale during the year as well.

Weekend Critic's Corner: 'Thrones,' 'Longmire'
• Now and then you get new episodes of network sitcoms during the summer.
Unfortunately, more often than not, they're often burnoffs of sitcoms you had no interest in watching during the fall, winter or spring, like Friday's double-run of the NBC flop Best Friends Forever (8 ET/PT).
Ignoring it on the first go-round was the right choice; don't falter now.
STORY: Robert Taylor in 'Longmire'
INTERACTIVE: Chat with Robert on Monday at 2 p.m. ET
• NBC blends two formats Sunday, a celebrity interview and a musical special, and comes up with Adele Live in London (8 ET/PT).
In between listening to the multiple Grammy winner talk to Matt Lauer, you'll get to hear her sing six songs from her concert at Royal Albert Hall.
TV Calendar
Enter your ZIP code below to see local listings.
• It's a busy cable night Sunday. The return of Drop Dead Diva (Lifetime, 9 ET/PT) and The Glades (A&E, 9 ET/PT) goes up against the season finale of Game of Thrones (HBO, 9 ET/PT).
The clear best choice is Game, particularly since the often-entertaining Diva Sunday is indulging in its unfortunate penchant for booking horrid but attention-grabbing guest stars.
By the way, if you're setting a recording device for Games or the HBO shows that follow, be aware that the finale is running 10 minutes over.
• Mystery fans may want to switch to A&E after for the debut of Longmire (10 ET/PT), based on Craig Johnson's mystery novels and starring Robert Taylor as a recently widowed Wyoming sheriff.
The opener is a bit plodding and pedestrian, but the setting is gorgeous and a nice change-of-urban-pace, and the cast (including Katee Sackhoff and Lou Diamond Phillips) is fine.

But the North Korean leadership has a 60-year record of dashing such hopes.
Unlike many Hollywood ingénues who depend on their dashing good looks, Kinnaman has formal acting training.
Leaked emails show Sony Pictures Entertainment co-chairman Amy Pascal confessing that the dashing Elba should be 007.
The dashing young prince has a gift for the most catastrophic errors of judgment.
As he was dashing for cover, Williams saw a father carrying his wounded young daughter out of the theater to the parking lot.
Are you, in dashing like a shot into my life and then leaving me without a word to explain it?
The Spanish merchantman was dashing in shore at the top of his speed.
He had a good mind to ask her; but he shrank from "dashing her down the first day."
"This won't do," he said at last, dashing the tears from his eyes.
I was the first swordsman, the most dashing rider, the hero of a hundred adventures.
1801, "given to cutting a dash" (1786), which was a colloquial expression for "acting brilliantly," from dash (n.) in the sense of "showy appearance," which is attested from 1715. The sense of "splashing" is recorded from mid-15c.
late 14c., from dash (v.). Sporting sense is from 1881, originally "race run in one heat."
c.1300, probably from a Scandinavian source (cf. Swedish daska, Danish daske "to beat, strike"), somehow imitative. The oldest sense is that in dash to pieces and dashed hopes. Intransitive meaning "move quickly" appeared c.1300, that of "to write hurriedly" is 1726. Related: Dashed; dashing.
late 14c., from dash (v.). Sporting sense is from 1881, originally "race run in one heat."
A punctuation mark (—) used to indicate a sudden break in thought, to set off parenthetical material, or to take the place of such expressions as that is and namely: "He's running for reelection — if he lives until then"; "Very few people in this class — three, to be exact — have completed their projects"; "She joined the chorus for only one reason — she loves to sing." In the last example, where the parenthetical material comes at the end of the sentence rather than in the middle, a colon could be used instead of the dash.
The dashboard of a car or other vehicle: I keep a gun under the dash (1867+)

There are more albums coming out by Niko Marks, Fabrice Lig and Akin Khan.
DJ 3000 – Galactic Caravan The Remixes [Motech]
DJ 3000 gets the remix treatment from his friends and Motech players on this double disc set. The first package is an exploration of modern electronic grooves, which will reward home and club listeners–standouts include the moody Mr De remix of Seven Tribes Of Hoti, Esteban Adame's graceful revision of Her Smile and a more subtle version of Shawn Rudiman's Her Smile. The second package wins with stellar displays from Alexander Robotnick, Mark Flash and DJ Bone. Robotnick makes it big with his synth driven electroid sound, Flash goes a mammoth synth led workout and Bone does his epic ABM thang to Meloudic Landscapes.

Pedro Cali doesn't need any introduction, you already know that he's more than capable of coming up with a surefire winner. Well he's gone and done it again in its original form, this single makes you feel exactly that; 'Misty' so simple but insistently brilliant – proper deep techno at its best. 'The Way' is the way with his trademark Motown-influenced funkiness that twists and turns. Finally '8 Days A Week' is a proper deep mixture of techno attitude with house sensibilities. The two other remixes by Rodriguez Jr. and Duplex are also fucking good. Rodriguez Jr. remix is a brilliant piece of deep tech-house with a Border Community style moody hook. Beautiful indeed. The Duplex way takes the original and bends it perfectly for quality floors. It's really powerful ! Ahh Perdo, Olivier, John and Chris, these Beneluxians can do no wrong !

Some cardiologists in the nation's largest for-profit hospital chain have been performing lucrative but sometimes unnecessary procedures that in some cases put patient lives at risk, The New York Times reports.
The newspaper says HCA, which operates 163 facilities, has "uncovered evidence as far back as 2002 and as recently as late 2010 showing that some cardiologists at several of its hospitals in Florida were unable to justify many of the procedures they were performing."
Physicians sometimes made misleading statements in medical records that made it appear the procedures were necessary, according to HCA internal reports reviewed by the Times. The documents don't detail the number of such procedures or how many patients died or were injured, but they "suggest that the problems at HCA went beyond a rogue doctor or two," the Times reports.
HCA began its investigation when a nurse at Lawnwood Regional Medical Center in Fort Pierce, Fla., expressed concerns. At Lawnwood, where a test known as a cardiac catheterization is performed, about half the procedures, or 1,200, involved patients without significant heart disease, the Times says, citing a confidential 2010 review.
HCA countered recently with a different analysis, the newspaper reports, saying the percentage of patients without disease was much lower and in keeping with national averages. The Times reports that the cardiologists say the reviews of their work did not accurately reflect the care they provided, and HCA says the reviews "are not, by any means, definitive."
This week HCA disclosed that in July the civil division of the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami requested information on the HCA reviews at 10 of its hospitals, located largely in Florida, but also two or three hospitals in other states.

How do I pair my bluetooth Portal of Power with my iOS Device?
How Do I turn my Portal of Power Off?
What do I do if my game is crashing?
What if my question isn't answered here?
We are aware that some users experienced an issue where Skylanders seemed to disappear and be stuck "In Use." The problem has been fixed in version 1.1.1. Please, download the update and your Skylanders will return home!
You can unlock more Skylanders one of three ways:
Acquire enough Gems to unlock the Skylander in the Skylander Select Screen. Tap the BUY button in the Skylanders Select screen under the Skylander you wish to purchase, and then use the Gems button to buy that Skylander.
You can enter in the Web Code found on the Web Code Card that is included with all Skylander toy purchases. To do this, locate the Skylander of your choice in the Skylander Select Screen and tap on the barcode icon. When prompted, enter in the 10 digit code found on your Web Code Card.
Skylanders may only be unlocked a limited number of times, so guard your code!
You can unlock your Skylanders by using the Bluetooth
Portal of Power and your Skylander toys.
Get help on how to connect your Bluetooth Portal of Power here: How do I pair my bluetooth Portal of Power with my iOS Device?
If you have
a Skylanders Spyro's
Universe account, you can locate the Code for your Skylanders on your Player
Card. Login to the game, click on "My Info", and then click on each
Skylander to see their Code.
If you don't have a Skylanders Spyro's Universe account, you can create one at http://universe.skylanders.com/ on your computer. After you create an account, install the portal drivers, and use your Portal of Power to import your Skylanders. Next, click on "My Info" and then on each Skylander to see their Code.
You can get Gems by purchasing them through the Gem Store. Access the Gem Store by tapping the Gem icon in the HUD. Please note that a Gem Store purchase uses real money.
Simply by playing the game, you may sometimes be awarded Gems for accomplishments such as leveling up your Kingdom or increasing your Hero Rank.
The best way to get Gold is by sending your Skylanders on Adventures using the Adventure Balloon or the Adventure Airship.
Besides completing Adventures, there are many actions that will give Gold as a reward. You can complete Goals, clear Troll Camps or Sheep Mobs, or Activate an Elemental Sanctuary.
You can also exchange Gems for Gold packs by clicking on the Gold icon in the HUD.
Energy is used by Skylanders to perform actions in the Lost Islands. A Skylander will require Energy to raid Troll Camps or Sheep Mobs, interact with Debris or Sanctuaries, or go on Adventures.
Energy can be obtained by planting and harvesting Energy Crops from Energy Fields. Some Goals will reward the player with Energy.
You can also exchange Gems for Energy by tapping the Energy icon in the HUD.
Level up your Kingdom by collecting Kingdom XP from Community buildings and Houses. View your progress to the next level in the Kingdom XP bar in the HUD. You can also collect Kingdom XP by clearing space on your islands, and completing Goals.
The light blue portion shows progress toward the next Kingdom level.
Tap the Kingdom XP icon on the HUD to bring up the Kingdom Info Panel. This panel will give you two pieces of valuable information.
How many Mabu are available for work and total number of Mabu in your Kingdom. Each Mabu House will give you a certain number of Mabu citizens. Mabu citizens are required to build and run Community buildings, such as a Post Office or a Bank. As long as that building is built, those Mabu will be busy working at that building and will be unavailable.
The current Element of the Day. The Element of the Day will give bonuses when an in-game action corresponds to the Element of the Day. For example, if the Element of the Day is Water, completing a Water Adventure will give a bonus to your Gold payout, or using a Water elemental Skylander to clear a Troll Camp will give a bonus Gold payout.
The Skylander could be on an Adventure, clearing a Troll Camp or Sheep Mob, or dealing with Debris or a Sanctuary. In these cases, an icon will be showing that your Skylander is busy.
If you cannot find your Skylander on your islands, it is possible that your Skylander was unsummoned to make room for more active Skylanders. To bring that particular Skylander back to your island, just tap Summon from the Skylander Select Screen.
Skylander is currently on an Adventure, clearing a Sheep or Troll Camp, or Feats, such as a Treasure Chest, Sanctuary, or Epic Debris.
Available for the action at hand. 'Select' will only be an option when choosing a Skylander to take action.
This will center the camera on a Skylander that is idle in the Lost Islands.
The Skylander has been unsummoned to make room for other Skylanders. This button will bring them back to the world. This will appear on a Skylander you own, but havent used for an action in a while. Dont worry, you still own this character, and bringing that Skylander back into the world will not cost a thing.
Increase your Hero Rank by collecting Hero Points. This will show up as an icon of that Skylander's face. Hero Points will come from sending a Skylander on Adventures with the Adventure Balloon, capturing Trolls, and many other actions!
Your Skylander's Hero Point progress can be found in that Skylander's info card in the Skylanders Select Screen.
You can skip the majority of the Goal in the game. Skipping a Goal will cost Gems. When you skip a Goal, you will get credit for completing the Goal, but the Goal will not complete the required action. For example, if you skip a goal asking you to plant Ambrosia, the game will not plant the Ambrosia for you.
If it feels like theres nothing to do, check the Goal scroll. There may be new Goals or unfinished Goals waiting for you.
The question mark indicates a new Goal.
Follow these simple steps to connect to your Portal of Power (this only needs to be done once per device):
If the Portal of Power is not used for 3 minutes, it will enter sleep mode. Press the Power button to turn ON the Portal of Power again.
Press and hold the power button (located on the side of the Portal) for 1 second.
You may be running low on system memory. Try turning your device off then on again or close other applications that may be running. You should also ensure you have updated your device to a version of iOS 5.1 or newer.

The Donnie Azoff depicter reveals that he agreed to take a major cut in his pay because he wanted to work with Martin Scorsese so bad.
There's no doubt that Jonah Hill worked very hard in "The Wolf of Wall Street" which resulted in an Oscar nomination, but he didn't earn a lot of money from the said role. In a radio interview with Howard Stern, he revealed that he was only paid $60,000 for the gig.
"They gave me the lowest amount of money possible, that was their offer," he opened up to the shock jock on Tuesday, January 21. "It was the minimum. I think SAG minimum is something like $60,000 before commissions and taxes." When Stern asked again for confirmation, "So you got paid $60,000 for that movie?" Hill replied, "Yeah, for an almost seven-month shoot."
"I said, 'I will sign the paper tonight. Fax me the papers tonight.' I want to sign them tonight before they change their mind," he recalled. "I said I want to sign them before I go to sleep tonight so they legally can't change their mind."
The "Moneyball" star was willing to do the movie for only $60k because he was so desperate to work with critically-acclaimed director Martin Scorsese. "I would sell my house and give him all my money to work for [Scorsese] ... I would have done anything in the world. I would do it again in a second," he gushed.
He didn't regret anything about it, saying, "I got to f**king be in a Martin Scorsese movie and I just got nominated for an Oscar. I'm tripping out, Howard ... I'm in shock. I'm totally in shock."
In fact, the 30-year-old actor is not working for money. "It's not about money for me. None of this s**t is about money," he said, though admitting, "I want to make money to pay my rent, and hopefully have a family one day and have kids and stuff."
Hill had been nominated before for Best Supporting Actor at Academy Awards for his role in "Moneyball". The Schmidt of "21 Jump Street" previously turned down roles in hit movies "The Hangover" and "Transformers" in favor of "Cyrus" (2010) starring John C. Reilly and Marisa Tomei.

Is Central Florida Developing Too Fast?
More than 15 projects and 70,000 homes are in the works for Central Florida, which has some activists concerned about sprawl.
"Planners are banking on increasingly stringent rules, smarter designs and more developer contributions for such things as roads, schools and wildlife protection to better order the region's growth.
But there is growing fear that the developments are sowing the seeds of sprawl, surging toward some of the region's most prized wetlands and landscapes."
