My question relates to the town of Wann, Oklahoma; and for whom it was named. Some of my family were Wann's; Curtis Lewis WANN being my great, great grandfather. He died in Saline County, Kansas in 1900, but I know that some of his brothers and sisters lived along the Oklahoma-Kansas line. His father's name was John WANN, and his sisters name was Cahterine LEWIS. I have birth, death, and marriage dates for both of them, but no places.

Seeking information concerning Daisy EVERITT who taught in the Nowata school in the 1930's. Daisy was born and raised in Cherokee County, KS. Her parents were John EVERITT and Jane MANAR. Daisy never married, and as far as I have been able to find out, never returned to Cherokee County, KS to live. She was my mother's cousin and I would appreciate hearing from any one who knew her. Since she never married, I am hoping those whom she either taught or who taught with her will share a little bit about her.

I have been looking for my grandparents in Oklahoma, for the past year, to no avail. Please, help me. My father, Robert Arnold MITCHELL, and his brother Franklin MITCHELL, were placed in the orphan's home in Oklahoma City in about 1896. They are listed on the 1900 census in the Beulah Heights Orphanage founded by Mattie MALLORY. It says that their parents were fromTennessee. I have reason to believe that my dad and his brother were placed in the orphanage by court order (perhaps a record of a Court Order in the County Court House), because his mother could not get them out once they were entered in there. My father was born September 9 or June 1890 or 1892. His brother, Franklin, was born about April 1895. His mother's first name was Orena (last name may be LOWREY). His father must have been Mitchell and his first name might have been the same as one of the children (Robert, Arnold or Franklin). I assume that his father and mother migrated from Tennessee sometime prior to 1890. They settled on the Cherokee Strip. I believe from evidence in stories told to me by my dad that they lived somewhere within a half day wagon ride from Coffeyville, Kansas; possibly Nowata County, OK. His dad wore a "ten gallon" hat and a gun belt around his waist. My dad thought that his dad was killed, maybe in a gun fight. He also speculated that he was either a law man or an outlaw. Lawmen have followed in our family. After his dad left or died, his mother, his brother and he went to live on a homestead with the HUTCHESON family on the Cherokee Strip for about a year. HUTCHESON had two boys about 17 and 19 years of age around 1895. It would be the greatest day in our family if I could find out who our granparents were. I don't care if they were saints or sinners. They must be buried somewhere. I really want to know who they were. Can anyone help me?

Taking steps toward sustainability – Decorative Imaging
Decorative Imaging has taken steps toward becoming a more sustainable operation in recent months by joining the Green Building Council of Australia, and putting staff through the HIA's Greensmart Professional course.
Already Decorative Imaging has worked hard to bring new, more sustainable finishes to the industry as alternatives to current products on the market. For example, DecoWood timber look aluminium reduces logging and greenhouse gas emissions, while Opalz MDF powder coating has zero formaldehyde emissions.
Now that Decorative Imaging is a member of the GBCA and employs Greensmart Professionals, we are connected to the core of sustainability information in the building and construction industry.
So far, the DecoTeam has taken to using natural gas for our clean-burning ovens, driving hybrid and low emission cars and recycling materials used in the manufacturing process such as films and packaging.

This content is specific to Simscape™ Multibody™ First Generation software. First-generation features are slated to be deprecated and should be avoided.
You can customize the way that Simscape Multibody visualization displays bodies, in terms of their colors and geometry. The geometry is composed of the body's size and shape.
You can adjust the body color on a model- or machine-wide basis, or on an individual body basis.
With an external graphics file referenced by a Body block, the visualization window can visualize the body with whatever shape the graphics file specifies.
For more information about starting visualization for a Simscape Multibody model, review the section Starting Visualization.
The model–machine–body hierarchy controls the model- and machine-default body colors and geometries. See the section Hierarchy of Body, Machine, and Model Visualization Settings.
To control visualization settings for an entire model or machine, you need to revisit the following two dialogs. These controls allow you to set a single default color and a single default standard geometry for all the bodies in a model or in a machine.
To set a model-wide default body color and geometry, use the Visualization area of the Simscape Multibody 1G node of the Configuration Parameters dialog.
To set machine-wide default body color and geometry, use the Visualization tab of that machine's Machine Environment block dialog.
You can bypass standard Simscape Multibody visualization by creating a virtual reality world of your own design to visualize your model's bodies. You can then build a custom interface from your model to the virtual world and animate its virtual bodies. See the final section, Visualizing with a Virtual Reality Client.

Today's Reading: 2 Chronicles 25-27; John 16
Today's Thoughts: Of Things to Come
But the Lord is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth will tremble, and the nations will not be able to endure His indignation. Thus you shall say to them: "The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens." He has made the earth by His power, He has established the world by His wisdom, and has stretched out the heavens at His discretion. When He utters His voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens: "And He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, He brings the wind out of His treasuries." Jeremiah 10:10-13
The prophet Jeremiah had a really tough job. He had to go around to all of the people in
The Bible tells us of things to come. The prophecies that have yet to be fulfilled will one day come to pass. Are we listening with ears to hear or are we taking God's great mercy for granted? There are those who decide not to believe in such things and even though they believe in the Bible, they do not necessarily believe in all of the Bible. Whether we choose to believe it or not will not change the truth of what it says. It is the inerrant, infallible word of God. One day, in the twinkling of an eye, life as we know will change forever. Maybe this will happen in our lifetime, maybe not. But it will happen.
Do you know Jesus Christ as your Savior? Do you believe that He is coming back one day? Do you believe that His Word is truth and all that it says is truth? Too many Christians today live in places of such compromise that truth is hard to define. One person's truth is not necessarily someone else's. Our world is one big melting pot of tolerance and gray areas; unfortunately, the church is not excluded from this category. But as Christians we are called to worship in Spirit and in truth and to shed the light of God's love in this dark world of darkness. Jeremiah did his best to give the people a chance to repent and return to the Lord. Even though they were God's chosen people, His own children, God would still have to deal with their sin. Today, for us as Christians, even though we are saved by the blood of Christ, our sin will still be dealt with. We are still called to repent and return to the Lord when we walk away. If we do not, the storms of life alone will threaten to take us out. We are in desperate need of a Savior---everyday of our lives. Praise God that He gave us His Son and that the times ahead are in His hands. Let's just make sure that we are in His hands as well. Give Jesus your heart, your life and your all today.

Parma Eldalamberon Issue 17

- "Words, Phrases and Passages in Various Tongues in 'The Lord of the Rings'."
By J. R. R. Tolkien
"Parma Eldalamberon," 'The Book of Elven-tongues', is a journal of the Elvish
Linguistic Fellowship, a special interest group of the Mythopoeic Society.
The current issue is a commentary by J. R. R. Tolkien from the late 1950s and
early 1960s concerning the words and names from his invented languages
incorporated into The Lord of the Rings. This commentary has been edited
and annotated by Christopher Gilson, with the permission and guidance of
Christopher Tolkien and the Tolkien Estate.
"Words, Phrases and Passages" is a collection of notes on the Quenya, Sindarin,
Dwarvish, Rohirric and Black Speech examples occurring in "The Lord of the Rings,"
with detailed translations and syntactic explanations, together with a discussion
of the etymologies of the various words and names. For the Elvish examples
these are traced back to their Common Eldarin roots. The entries were arranged
by Tolkien in the order in which the words and phrases occurred in the story
and this arrangement has been preserved in this edition.
Although Tolkien never completed the commentary as originally planned, he
retained the more cursory list of words and names from which he was working;
and he continued to compose further notes on the grammar and history of
the Elvish words and names in the story. Many of these were placed together
with "Words, Phrases and Passages," and the main commentary has been
supplemented by these notes in this edition. Together these texts give
the clearest picture we have of how Tolkien conceived of his linguistic
inventions in the forms they were revealed to his readers.
In many of the notes in "Words, Phrases and Passages" Tolkien expresses
hesitation about his preliminary explanations, or notices discrepancies
between elements occurring in more than one context. The notes show
how his reconsideration at this time of his invented languages sometimes
led to revisions in the text of "The Lord of the Rings" as it was published
in the 2nd edition of 1965. They also show how Tolkien achieved new
insights into the etymological explanation of certain words and names.
Many of the entries in "Words, Phrases and Passages" mention the roots of
the Elvish components under discussion, and this edition includes an index
of these roots. During this period Tolkien also compiled several lists and
collections of roots and the words derived from them. These etymologies
have been combined with the index into a single list alphabetically arranged
by root, providing a fairly comprehensive overview of his conception of
the stock of basic elements that underlie the Elvish languages.
The entries in "Words, Phrases and Passages" have been annotated to point
out their connections with the examples of Tolkien's invented languages
included in his other writings, such as "The Silmarillion"; "Unfinished Tales";
"Letters"; and "The History of Middle-earth." This edition also includes an
index, arranged by language, of all words and phrases that are glossed
within the entries of main list and the list of roots.
Parma Eldalamberon Issue Number 17 is a 220-page journal.

Electric Kettle from KitchenAid's Pro Line Series
I'm something of an electric kettle connoisseur. I'm always looking for a kettle that is more accurate and heats faster. KitchenAid is introducing a potential heavy hitter this spring in their Pro Line Series. This kettle has rather retro styling, with a smoothly moving lever on the base that adjusts the temperature, and an analog dial that shows just how hot the water is. It's a big, hefty kettle with serious presence. The colors will include Candy Apple Red, Frosted Pearl White, Onyx Black, Silver Medallion and Sugar Pearl.


text: Hi, all - A new-to-me Nikkormat and 24/2.8 arrived late last week. Spent some time messing with the 24 to fix the loose focus ring, but ultimately decided I'd better test it first to see if it was worth the effort. Now, I've wanted a 24 since I was new to photography, reading John Shaw books. And the I got the Nikkormat only because the 24 was so accessible. So, I bought into a new system. Boy, am I glad I did. Took the camera out this morning through a few favorite haunts in Birdsboro, PA. Light was a bit harsh, but I went anyway. These are all between f/5.6 and f/16. The camera's a beaut. Meter seems about right, maybe over exposing a half stop or so, but I'm using a 1.4V battery, so that might be the issue. Easy enough to fix. The ergonomics are so nice that I'm actually pondering selling my M42 gear. This camera is that nice to use. The 24/2.8 is probably the sharpest 35mm lens I've ever owned, surpassing my beloved Canon 28mm EF. Just brutally sharp. I love it. The perspective is intuitive, and absolutely fun. Requires a little attention to keep shadows out of the frame, but I'm loving it. The film was Rite Aid 200, developed and scanned at CVS. Last couple times I went to CVS, the scans were horrible. I commented to that effect to the 20 yr-old tech today, and he gave me the best scanning I've ever gotten from a lab. For $5 total. I'm a happy camper. One sad note, though: The 200+ foot tall water tower in Birdsboro, that's been a favorite subject for years and has stood over the town for an extremely long time, has apparently been demo'ed. It's gone. I'm truly bummed about it, too. But considering how much fun I had with the Nikkormat and the 24, I think I'll survive. Thanks for looking. Scott

In keeping with our recent motorsports slant, I thought it'd be acceptable to offer my take on Garth Stein's The Art of Racing in the Rain. If you've read it—and based on the fact that it stayed on the New York Times bestseller list for 156 weeks, it's highly likely you have—please forgive me for delivering this review almost four years late. But if you haven't, do yourself a favor and find a copy.
The Art of Racing in the Rain is told from the point of view of Enzo, a dog who's certain he'll be reincarnated as a human. Enzo carefully studies the actions and behavior of Denny, his master, who's an aspiring racecar driver.
It's brilliant.
In Mongolia, when a dog dies, he is buried high in the hills so people cannot walk on his grave. The dog's master whispers in the dog's ear his wishes that the dog will return as a man in his next life. Then his tail is cut off and put beneath his head, and a piece of meat of fat is cut off and placed in his mouth to sustain his soul for its journey; before he is reincarnated, the dog's soul is freed to travel the land, to run across the high desert plains for as long as it would like.
I learned that from a program on the National Geographic Channel, so I believe it is true. Not all dogs return as men, they say; only those who are ready.
I am ready.
Other than one (1) Lance Armstrong reference, there's absolutely nothing in The Art of Racing in the Rain that's directly related to cycling. I assure you, though, that much of the way in which Stein describes auto racing could easily be used to explain the nuances of high-performance bicycling.
The car goes where the eyes go.
How many times have you entered a corner just a bit too hot and found yourself heading straight toward something you don't want to hit instead of aiming your eyes beyond the corner?
The bike goes where your eyes go.
This is a rule of racing: No race has ever been won in the first corner; many have been lost there.
It's funny how few up-and-coming bike racers truly grasp this concept.
But The Art of Racing in the Rain is about more than just competition—it's a story of the way one man deals with adversity delicately, yet with the determined drive of a champion.
The true hero is flawed. The true test of a champion is not whether he can triumph, but whether he can overcome obstacles—preferably of his own making—in order to triumph.

Please note: Due to a recent, highly regrettable incident down at Seattle's Alki Beach, the state Department of Fish, Wildlife and Mystery Meats has announced a slate of emergency Giant Pacific Octopus Hunting Rule Revisions, effective immediately:
• Hunters punching locally treasured pet octopus to death in front of crowds of waterfront diners should refrain from blows below the "belt."
• All hunting of octopuses using hounds, or baiting with doughnuts and sweets, temporarily suspended.
• Second octopus taken in any given week must be hunted with bow and arrow.
• Displaying octopus head or other severed body parts on grill of pickup on return drives from hunts strongly discouraged, especially if route home bypasses busloads of small children at Seattle Aquarium.
• Daily bag limit remains one, but for the love of God, don't use a clear plastic one.
• Housekeeping item: State "shellfish license" required to hunt octopus to be replaced by more specific Indiscriminate Killing of Treasured Aquatic Species punch card.
More proud moments:
(Very) Much Ado About Nothing: After billions of dollars spent and about two years of torture inflicted upon the public, the national election produced essentially no change in the political equation whatsoever. All together now: It's the greatest system in the world.
Must Seen TV: Did anyone else watch the Karl Rove meltdown on Fox News on election night and suspect, just for a second, you were watching something scripted by Stanley Kubrick?
Say What You Will About Fox: Some producer there was handed a verdict from the network's own number crunchers about Ohio — and thus the election — going to President Obama and chose, before other networks, to put it promptly on the air. Given the audience in question, that took some stones.
Dumbest Election Night Phrase: "Firewall."
Second Dumbest: "Reverse coattails."
Dumbest Election Night "Analyst": Ari Fleischer — a decade later, still spewing nonsensical talking points. Because that's all he's got.
Speaking of Which: Republican leaders reportedly spent much of the week doing some serious soul-searching, which turned up nothing.
Confirmation: The results are in, and it's clear that the rumors are true: Based on glacial delivery of results, King County Elections is run by same people who produce NBC's Olympics coverage.
The Buck Stops ... Somewhere Else: Sooo classy the way King County elections head Sherril Huff responded to those complaints by sneering at the people who pay her salary: "If people want faster ballot counts, they need to move to Oregon."
The Week's Abject Nonsense: Movie reviewers and talk-show hosts are buying into the hype about actor Daniel Day-Lewis "nailing" the "true sound" of the voice of President Abraham Lincoln in the new Steven Spielberg film — despite the fact that no recordings of his voice exist.
And Finally: Quite shocking to see some homes and streets near Mr. Wrap's hometown of Duvall inundated when a beaver dam gave way. Stupid beavers!Ron Judd's column appears each Sunday. Reach him at firstname.lastname@example.com

Uh Oh, Selfies Are Making More People Get Plastic Surgery
Head tilted, face at an angle, camera positioned above and center–all of these things go into crafting the perfect selfie. It seems harmless right? A shot of a smile or two (or 100) on your Instagram account just goes to show the world how friendly and fabulous you are. Except, 2013's word of the year is actually not that harmless. According to a new survey from the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), one in three facial plastic surgeons saw a rise in the demand for plastic surgery because people were more aware of the way they looked thanks to social media.
Edward Farrior, president of AAFPRS, says that the rise in use of social platforms like Instagram and Snapchat, which are completely image based, "force patients to hold a microscope up to their own image and often look at it with a more self-critical eye than ever before." And because everyone is taking selfies, everyone is being affected.
Surprisingly, that means a lot of young people. So let's consider these youths (as Schmidt on "New Girl" calls them)–the under-30 crowd, if you will. In 2013, plastic surgeons saw a 58 percent increase of cosmetic surgery or injectibles in this age group. At the lower end of the spectrum, teens and young adults have it particularly bad because of bullying on the web and social media; the study finds that 69 percent of children and teens who get plastic surgery do so as a result of bullying, not to prevent it. At the higher end of the spectrum, twentysomethings are looking to stave off the visible signs of aging with measures such as Botox, a procedure that actually made up about half of all the minimally invasive procedures done in 2013.
In terms of the most-common surgical procedures of 2013, we're talking rhinoplasty, facelifts, eyelifts, skin resurfacing, and revision surgery, aka fixing what unhappy patients didn't like from their first go-round.
Though most people getting these procedures are indeed women (mothers, to be specific) who want to stay looking younger and have nice-looking noses, men aren't afraid to slide under the knife (have you seen Bruce Jenner lately?) in pursuit of a full head of hair and fewer visible wrinkles.
Our thoughts? To each his or her own, but we wish that more people could be happy with their natural beauty. It's a bit unfortunate that apps like Instagram and Snapchat, which are intended to be community based and bring people together to share good memories, are turning out to provide a dark under-belly of opportunity for self-criticism.
StyleBlazers, did any of you get plastic surgery in 2013?

Why is that interesting? Because Epstein launched the trade paperback format in the US in 1952 and he has won most of the prestigious awards in the book industry. Here's the first paragraph:
The transition within the book publishing industry from physical inventory stored in a warehouse and trucked to retailers to digital files stored in cyberspace and delivered almost anywhere on earth as quickly and cheaply as e-mail is now underway and irreversible. This historic shift will radically transform worldwide book publishing, the cultures it affects and on which it depends. Meanwhile, for quite different reasons, the genteel book business that I joined more than a half-century ago is already on edge, suffering from a gambler's unbreakable addiction to risky, seasonal best sellers, many of which don't recoup their costs, and the simultaneous deterioration of backlist, the vital annuity on which book publishers had in better days relied for year-to-year stability through bad times and good. The crisis of confidence reflects these intersecting shocks, an overspecialized marketplace dominated by high-risk ephemera and a technological shift orders of magnitude greater than the momentous evolution from monkish scriptoria to movable type launched in Gutenberg's German city of Mainz six centuries ago.

The Adult Children of the Intermarried: The "Forgotten"?
JTA just released a package of stories on the adult children of the intermarried, by Sue Fishkoff. It's an important and interesting series, although not without its flaws.
The centerpiece of the package is an article that looks at how little Jewish programming there is tailored to the needs of adult children of intermarried. Fishkoff calls this population "the forgotten piece of the outreach puzzle." It's true; Fishkoff doesn't say it, but there seems to be an attitude among Jewish policy-makers that this population is already "lost" and it's better to focus on young intermarried couples who haven't had children yet or whose children are young. There's no doubt that programming geared to young intermarried parents has the potential for greater impact, but that doesn't mean we have to ignore the 360,000 young adults with one Jewish parent. We know of, and Fishkoff shares, stories of a number of adults who chose Judaism as young adults.
A Politician Who Chose Judaism; A Seattle Outreach Program Shutters
Some links of note:
The Debate is Over
Shaul Kelner, a Jewish studies professor at Vanderbilt University, takes Steven Cohen–and outreach advocates like ourselves, as well–down a notch with his wonderfully sensible op-ed for The Forward.
Essentially, he argues that debating over the value of outreach to the intermarried is misguided because in a pluralist Jewish world, there are spaces where outreach is promoted and there are spaces where it is shunned:
Bears in Space
To pay tribute to his late father's Jewish heritage, an astronaut from an interfaith home brought a teddy bear into space. The bear was a replica of Refugee, a teddy bear donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum by Holocaust survivor Sophie Turner-Zaretsky.
Astronaut Mark Polansky, whose mother is a native Hawaiian, asked the museum for some mementoes that would simultaneously pay tribute to his father Irving, who died in 2001, and bring awareness to the genocide in Darfur, Sudan. The museum also gave him a photo of a child refugee from Darfur. The bear made its 5.3-million-mile journey on the Discovery mission in December, and Turner-Zaretsky, now 80 and living in New York, followed the shuttle's progress every step of the way.
Encouraging Jewel-ish Choices?
Purim, often called the "Jewish Halloween," is on Sunday. But it's more than that–it's also the Jewish April Fools' Day. It's become a bit of a tradition for some papers to publish fake news for Purim.
The intermarriage debate comes in for some parody by our friend Julie Wiener at The (New York) Jewish Week, as excerpted on the Jewish Outreach Institute's blog, in a post by Kerry Olitzky. For the 25 of us who know all the players parodied in the article, it's pretty amusing.
The S-Word: A Response to More Than a Succubus
A response to More Than a Succubus: Confessions of a Shiksa, published in our Web Magazine on Feb. 13, by Ellen Jaffe-Gill:
I had taken a stand on the Yiddish word shiksa long before the afternoon I visited my husband's Hebrew class. Having learned, while researching a book on intermarriage, that it (and its male form, shaygetz, and the plural shkotzim) derived from a Hebrew word meaning "abomination," I was already gently correcting people who used it, asking them questions like "An abomination — is that really how you think of your daughter-in-law?"
Then one day I celebrated the meeting of a major deadline with a day off, a nice lunch, and a little text study at the University of Judaism in Los Angeles, where my husband had been enriching his life studying classical Hebrew on Wednesday afternoons. The class was looking at I Kings, chapter 11, in which Solomon wrong-headedly builds altars to pagan gods for his foreign wives.
Most Hebrew vocabulary is organized into families of three-letter roots, and I recognized the Hebrew root shin-kof-tzadi spelling the word shikutz before I looked at the translation.
"Hey, there's the root for shiksa," I said. "Is 'abomination' an accurate translation of shikutz?" I asked the teacher, a native Israeli.
A Powerful Partnership
Two innovative national Jewish organizations are teaming up to create a program that will help 18 synagogues become more welcoming towards interfaith families. The program, "Call Synagogue Home," is the product of a partnership between the Jewish Outreach Institute and STAR (Synagogues: Transformation and Renewal), a group that helps synagogue improve and strengthen their services.
The program will take place at synagogues in three different communities. According to the release:
I can't say enough about how promising this program sounds. Even though many synagogues have become quite adept at welcoming and involving interfaith families, numerous synagogues could use the help. Further, by focusing on life-cycle events, this will help the participating synagogues recruit interfaith families who might not otherwise consider joining a synagogue.
Kudos to all involved.

Hundreds of security officers in Los Angeles will walk off the job today in support of their fellow officers up north who are fighting for better health benefits from their employer Inter Con. In Los Angeles, officers will stand in front of Kaiser Sunset. Picket lines will begin at 8 a.m. according to spokesperson, Jennifer Kelly. A rally and march will follow.
In Oakland and Sacramento, strikers began gathering in front of Kaiser Permanente medical centers May 6 to protest what they are calling The medical giant's "use of heavy handed tactics to prevent officers from forming a union."
The complaints cited Inter-Con's use of spying, threats, intimidation and retaliation against officers. Though no numbers were given to determine the economic effect of the strike, Inter-Con will have to provide officers to replace the ones not on the job, Kelly said.
"Inter-Con workers deserve to have what other union workers in Kaiser facilities have," said security officer union president, Faith Culbreath.
"That is better wages, paid time off and quality health care. These things are not a privilege, they are a right."
"It's clear that Inter-Con has repeatedly committed unfair labor practices in violation of the law," said Orrin Baird, associate general counsel for SEIU. "That's the whole basis of this strike-workers' civil rights have been violated."
"Inter-Con has broken the law," Kelly added.
Los Angeles officers will strike in front of Kaiser facilities in their area along with officers in San Fernando Valley and Anaheim.

Editor's pick: Real Flex Transition, $100; Reebok.com. "I have an old knee injury, and the flexible sole kept me in control—even during kickboxing." —Alyssa Longobucco, editorial assistant.

Runner-up: IsoTransition, $120; PearlIzumi.com. A low profile keeps you closer to the ground, so you're more fleet-footed. Tie-free laces let you pull them on (and off) fast, and the lining wicks sweat. Our testers said, "Socks optional."
Editor's pick: AdiPure, $90; Adidas.com. "They're like gloves for the feet, so it's easy to grip any surface more firmly—and perfect for when you want to feel the turf underfoot."—Tula Karras, contributing editor.

A couple months after her birth, baby North West made her first public appearance with parents Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
No one snapped a picture of the baby, but paps made sure to tell people that Kim was wearing lounge clothes.
So make sure to wear baggy pants and a t-shirt and hashtag O.O.T.D.
What made us laugh is that neither Kim nor Kanye were holding their daughter, baby Nori was in the arms of her nanny.
Perez also talked to Carson about Gia Allemand passing, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West out in public, Kris Jenner speaking out on Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian not getting divorced, Simon Cowell's baby mama reaching an amicable divorce settlement, and Chris Brown being sued by Frank Ocean.

AN inspirational paramedic has overcome his stammer to succeed - and now his determination has put him in the running for an award.
John O'Neill, 37, suffered from a crippling stammer since being child but he was determined not to let it get in his way.
And when the opportunity to land his dream job of becoming a paramedic came up, he put himself on a course called The McGuire Programme which works on the neurological and psychological aspects of stammering.
It eased his problem massively and John, from Park Square, in Hartlepool, got the job he hoped for.
Now he has been nominated for the emergency services category in the Pride of Hartlepool awards and he said: "This is something I really did not expect. I am quite surprised by it.
"It would be a big honour if I won but I am just doing my job. I just happen to have a stammer as well."
John first had an opportunity to become an ambulance driver when he was 22. Despite not being able to speak properly in his interview for the job, the father–of–three was determined to overcome his demon.
That's when he turned to the McGuire Programme and it so inspired him, he has become an organiser for the scheme to help others with speech problems.
John becomes the latest entrant in this year's Pride of Hartlepool competition which has attracted some fantastic entrants. There is still time for more people to come forward.
Ten categories up for grabs are Sporting Achievement; Community Group; Community Champion; Student of the Year; Fundraiser of the Year; Child of Courage; Local Hero; Green Champion; Emergency Services and Young Performer of the Year.
We are calling on our readers to nominate that special person or people who have done something that you believe deserves recognition.
It could be anyone from 999 heroes to community champions – help us celebrate those who have done their town proud. You have until Tuesday, April 1 to put in an entry. After that, we will begin the tough process of trying to choose a winner.
People can enter via the nomination form on this page in the Hartlepool Mail today, or by visiting our website at www.hartlepool.mail.co.uk and filling in the online entry form.

Latest News
Must Read
Can Chris Maloney really do it? How glum will Tulisa look this week? How many hip thrusts will Nicole Scherzinger tease us with? These are all questions we'll no doubt get the answer to this weekend on The X Factor.
It's semi-final time and there's only three places in the final for Maloney, James Arthur, Union J and Jahmene Douglas to duke it out over.
Stick with Digital Spy from 8pm when the action and drama starts on ITV1.
21:27Pop over to our I'm a Celeb blog for more giggles (with added kangaroo bum).
21:26We'll be back tomorrow night when Tulisa and Pink will be having a diva-off with special performances and one act will be told to pack their bags and will miss out on a trip to Manchester. See you back here, same place, same time.
21:25That's all, folks. Things look gloomy for Union J. Only a sudden surprise Maloney dip in support can save them now, in my opinion.
21:24Good effort, Mr Arthur. That was his best performance of the series and he managed to tone down his usual growl. The judges are a bit OTT in their praise, but we're not going to throw water over James's fire. He does deserve to make the final after that performance.
21:22Good song choice for James. Probably the best song choice of the series so far. He's covering 'The Power of Love' by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. One of the greatest festive number ones ever.
21:20Lucky James Arthur got to go behind the scenes on Nicole's video shoot this week. If that didn't perk up the gloomy howler, nothing will.
21:17Only one performance left. Then we can enjoy some celebs eating animal testicles on I'm a Celeb. Hurrah!
21:13Louis Walsh: "I'll do whatever you want me to do to get them into the final?" Quit the show? Well, it's worth a try.
21:12Union J covering Westlife. Good to see Louis Walsh letting them showcase their personalities *rolls eyes*. What a boring performance for a semi-final. Shouldn't they be singing pop songs and jumping around and having fun?
21:09Louis Walsh in a onesie. Louis Walsh banging on about Westlife. It can only mean one thing. It's Union J time.
21:02That Bublé cover isn't going to do Maloney any favours. The band sounded like they were playing a different speed, and it was truly odd. Combined with the nicey-nicey approach to his first song, there are some cunning tactics to eliminate the cruise ship singer this week.
20:59Oh dear. We're starting to get cold sweats at the propsect of a Maloney/Bublé duet in the final.
20:58Christopher Maloney is tackling some Michael Bublé. That's his idea of a hip modern track. Crikey.
20:56Christopher Maloney is doing a modern song. Fingers crossed for 'Gangnam Style'.
20:54Everyone agrees that Jahmene is "Jahmazing". Louis says it. Gary says it. The phrase has well and truly been killed off now.
20:52Nicole Scherzinger reveals that she sang the same song when she was on Popstars. What is Popstars? We thought TV talent shows started with X Factor and Simon Cowell. Right?
20:51After Louis Walsh claimed Westlife created 'You Raise Me Up', maybe he'll claim 'At Last' is Katie Waissel's.
20:50Jahmene is back and tackling his first audition song, 'At Last'. A song we've not heard enough on X Factor down the years.
20:49Right, we're halfway through. The finish line is in sight. Stick with us. We'll be by your side all night.
20:44Tulisa's constant anger that the public don't like the same acts as her is very annoying. She has a face like thunder and you wouldn't think she was getting paid to be part of a Saturday night entertainment show.
20:42Tulisa says that "credible" James has to win. Gary Barlow demands that he makes the final. Nicole Scherzinger claims that James is the only Northerner left on the show. Bless. Who wants to point out Liverpool on a map to her?
20:40James Arthur tackles the tender, gentle ballad 'One'. As usual, he roars his way through it like a bear with its bum on fire. Some people love it - the judges for one. I'm still not totally sold on him.
20:38In the sob story stakes, it's 10 out of 10 for Jahmene, a solid 5 for Maloney and his gran, an underwhelming 2 from James Arthur and his siblings. Union J get minus points for dedicating their song to their fans. One of them must have had a sick second cousin or auntie they could have wheeled out.
20:36It's James Arthur time. *serious artist face*.
20:34Louis is back to his bonkers best tonight. Did someone recharge his batteries. Or take away his pills. You know it's a good X Factor show when Louis can be heard in the background of every shot shouting "Gary!" or "Dermot!" like a drunk grandad.
20:31Louis Walsh claims that Union J are having the same impact as Beatlemania. He claims "hysteria" follows them around. When he says "hysteria", he means one man with a party popper and a balloon. That one man is Louis.
20:29Not bad, Union J, not bad. Probably not enough to get to the final, but fair play, it wasn't too awful. Gary Barlow says they "blended", Nicole says they are "swinging" and "cheese-free". Our verdict... they were alright.
20:26Union J are the unlucky ones forced to follow Jahmene's emotional performance. The judges have barely mopped up the tears and Louis Walsh is introducing the new "fab four". Yes, Louis did just compare these guys to The Beatles. Heaven help us all.
20:23Oh blimey, everyone is in tears. Even Grumpy Borelow looks close to a blub. It was a touching dedication to Jahmene's brother from the young lad and if that doesn't get him through to the final, we'll eat all the hats in England.
20:22Did Jahmene just sing "After all my shrimp have gone...". Maybe, we misunderstood and this is a beautiful song about shellfish shortages.
20:20We know Jahmene's the favourite and everything. And he's lovely. But he does need to ease off those big strangling-cat big notes sometimes. Ouch.
20:18Oh someone pass us the tissues. It's blubathon time. Jahmene's up and he's doing a song for his big brother. Scherzinger's waterproof mascara is going to be put to the test.
20:14Louis Walsh has taken to shouting "Westlife! Westlife!" at the end of the desk. An average night in for Louis, we imagine. He's trying to claim 'You Raise Me Up' is a Westlife song and not Josh Groban's. He's wrong, but bless him for trying.
20:12The judges are trying to kill Christopher with kindness. Nicole, Louis and even glum-face Tulisa concede that the Liverpool warbler can hold a tune. They're clearly taking a different tack to get rid of him this week. They're hoping for complacency from the Maloney massive. Will it work?
20:10Christopher sings 'You Raise Me Up'. Someone pass us a brie, cheddar, stilton sarnie wrapped in camembert. This is cheese overload.
20:08And he's doing it all for his gran. Chris should have mentioned his gran a bit more on the show, because it would make him more likeable and earn him some sympathy *Harry Hill sideways look at the camera*.
20:05Christopher Maloney is up first. Throw your shaky hands in the air like you just don't care.
20:04It's all public vote this week. There's no bottom two or sing-off. The act with the fewest votes is out of here. That should in theory be good news for Jahmene and Christopher and worrying for James Arthur and bottom two regulars Union J.
20:02Dermot is stripping the judges... of their voting power. Bet you were worried about some nudey Louis Walsh action there.
20:01Get your hashtags out, it's showtime.
20:00We've just polished off some scrambled eggs on toast for supper and we've got a cracking cheese board lined up to accompany the show. It's my own little tribute to the King of Cheese Christopher Maloney.
19:59Good evening! It's semi-final time already. So in theory we should be down to the cream of the crop right now. Hmm.

My kiddos have been quite anxious at the imagining that I may have possibly let Valentine's Day slip by unnoticed. There was some serious concern as I was called into question as to the whereabouts (or whenabouts) of Valentine's Day and why had we not yet decorated? There was speculation that everyone else was celebrating on that very day, but I had irresponsibly allowed Valentine's Day to fall by the wayside, giving no thought to the feelings of my devastated children. I carefully, so as not to upset their sweet feelings, informed them that we still had 24 days left and promised that we would not miss any of the fun parts of the day. Continue reading

My Funny Valentines
Valentine's Day began with a bang for us and didn't fizzle out until bed time. It began with our Valentine exchange, which was very cute. I gave the kids a little gift–silverware. Sounds super boring, right? Well when you have two kids who fight over a spoon at each meal (yes, you heard me right. A spoon. A kind of fancy cocktail spoon that has has wire wrapped around the handle and sparkly stones wrapped into the wire. It's name? The Diamond Spoon) So I found a set of super cute rainbow handled silverware. In a set of 4! Perfect. They loved them. Continue reading

Valentine Mailboxes
I love making these little holidays special for the girls. This year, I found the cutest little mailboxes at Target, which are being sold as a Valentine item, but they could be for just about any time! They were just so adorable.

But they were just so cute I had to go back and get one for each of the girls (and the coming boy) and decorate them as well. Continue reading

This year at church, I was in charge of making the Valentine craft with the kids.

I found a couple different ideas and put them together to form this banner, which I did alter slightly for the kids to make.

A Year of Holidays Party
This past week, my mother visited, along with my brother and his fam. We had a FANTASTIC week! We went to the beach, swam, and had lots of fun adventures together. I wanted this week to be extra special for the kids. He has two sweet kiddos who we don't get to see very often. In fact, we are never together for the holidays or birthdays, so I decided to throw them….A Year of Holidays Party! Oh, because I'm the coolest mom and aunt in the world. That's why.
Our Valentine's Day
We had such a special Valentine's Day!
The girls loved the treats and Valentines they found in their heart pockets. Here is a little peek at our morning. Continue reading
Personalized Heart Banners for Valentines Day
While flipping through the Pottery Barn Kids catalog, I've seen on several occasions those really cute holiday bags that you can tie to the backs of dining room chairs. For example, for Thanksgiving last year I saw a turkey that you could hang. It could be personalized with your child's name and doubled as a pocket where you could put Thanksgiving treats (Does anyone do that on Thanksgiving? We never did when I was younger. Did I miss a tradition?). They have cute ones for Easter and so on.
So this year for Valentine's Day, I decided to make them for the girls–little Valentine Heart Banners. They turned out so cute! Continue reading

Art or design? D&AD rejects then reinstates Sagmeister film
Sagmeister Walsh's film Now is Better won a Yellow Pencil for Typography for Design at this year's D&AD Awards, but only after it had first been rejected by the organisers for being art rather than design
Sagmeister & Walsh's film Now is Better won a Yellow Pencil for Typography for Design at this year's D&AD Awards, but only after it had first been rejected by the organisers for being art rather than design
To many, Stefan Sagmeister's work has often blurred the distinction between art and design. This ambiguity was the cause of concern at the D&AD Awards this week. Jurors in the Craft for Design category had given the film, which was originally commissioned by the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia as part of Sagmeister & Walsh's Happy Show, a Yellow Pencil.
However, D&AD management subsequently declared the film to be ineligible as, they argued, it fell foul of their terms and conditions by which entries must be "a work of advertising or design, produced in response to a genuine brief composed in the ordinary course of a legal entity's activities for the purpose of seeking an advertising or design solution" and "have been made available to the public through any medium which is legally permitted in a way that has been approved by the entity or person receiving the benefit of the advertising or design (the client)". D&AD, CR understands, further argued that the distinction between art and design partially rested on whether the work was seeking an 'outcome' of some sort, usually commercial in nature.
Sagmeister & Walsh, however, argued that the film was created in response to a design brief from the ICA and was part of the design of the exhibition (above, image: Aaron Igler/Greenhouse Media). Furthermore, Sagmeister said "Our piece Now is Better IS seeking (and) achieving 'an outcome of some sort'. I received an SMS from an 16 year old boy who, after seeing Now is Better and the Happy Show, found the guts in himself to ask out and ultimately kiss the girl he had a crush on for a long time. It was his first kiss. I'd say that's a behavioural change and an outcome worth bragging about. Preferable to a sale."
"I myself only mildly care about a wooden pencil," Sagmeister told CR, "but I do care when one of the foremost design organisations in the world thinks that what we do in our design studio is not design. Even though the exhibition in question took place in a Center for Contemporary Art, it was clearly designed and labelled as a design exhibit."
After some back and forth, the work was reinstated, although not before CR's D&AD Awards supplement, produced to coincide with the event, had gone to press.
D&AD CEO Tim Lindsay acknowledged that the work highlighted some ambiguity in the Awards' terms: "In order to be eligible, design or advertising work entered into D&AD must have been created in response to a client brief and have been made available to the public. Because Now is Better was a gallery commission, it falls into a grey area but is actually eligible according to the current criteria," he told CR. "It was entered into a craft category and was felt by the highly esteemed jury to be an outstanding piece of typography, so an excellent piece of work has rightly received its just reward."
Disputes of this nature are surely only going to get more commonplace. Gordon Young and Why Not Associates' Comedy Carpet, for example, missed out at D&AD last year. We don't know why that was, but we do know that it won at other 'design' shows, including CR's Annual. Despite this, Gordon Young is adamant that the Comedy Carpet be referred to as a work of art.
The difficulty seems to be when work crosses over from being the design of an exhibition or installation into being part of the content of the exhibition itself. A tricky line to draw and one that evidently caused a good deal of debate at D&AD this year.
Pink Floyd fans may recognise the cover of our June issue. It's the original marked-up artwork for Dark Side of the Moon: one of a number of treasures from the archive of design studio Hipgnosis featured in the issue, along with an interview with Aubrey Powell, co-founder of Hipgnosis with the late, great Storm Thorgerson. Elsewhere in the issue we take a first look at The Purple Book: Symbolism and Sensuality in Contemporary Illustration, hear from the curators of a fascinating new V&A show conceived as a 'walk-in book' plus we have all the regular debate and analysis on the world of visual communications.

when a shared library exports some global variables: are those variables shared among all processes or does each process get its own copy of the variables?
so the question is: if process 1 writes to a global variable of a shared library, and process 2 reads from that variable - does process 2 read what process 1 wrote? id say no.

Paintball is indeed a challenging sport and has recently turned out to be one of the best part-time activities for lots of people who want to experience an exciting outdoor activity.
Once you start playing on a regularly basis, it is better that you purchase your personal safety gear, along with choosing a paintball gun you feel confident with and which will also give you a more enjoyable time.
It is understandable that you may have no idea where to start with, while looking for a gun that shoots straight and fast. There is a lot to choose from, and a lot to know about them, which will be the most suitable for you, and be all you have looked for. So, take your time and do your research well.
It is true that you may hear serious players talk about different ways of choosing a gun, so you can learn from them what make and model is the best, and if that particular mark and model is all they were looking for.
You could go to those veteran players that are more than happy to give you a piece of advice, as if there is anything they love talking about, that's their paintball guns.
You should know from the very beginning that paintball guns may be quite expensive but they are sure worth it, especially if you are really into playing this game.
It's very important to get what you want, or even start with a common gun, and then work your way up to the special gun you want, as you become more experienced.
There are guns that range up to thousands of dollars, so you may want to start with a gun that your feel comfortable to spend your money on. Taking out a loan for this kind of gun is not what I advise you to do, unless there's someone in your family that would loan you the money.
Think about your style when you start playing it, and when you are out in the open. Paintball is a slow game but, as you become a passionate and regular player, your entire style will change to a more competitive one, and get faster as you see more of a challenge in this exciting sport.
So, you should start looking for a gun designed for speed as well as for performance.

As bands like Chango will tell you, choosing the right tune to cover is critical. It's pretty easy to look like a fool when you choose to cover some crap nobody's ever heard of or a song that's beyond your means. On some occasions, however, covers outshine the original material. Covers like the following five tunes (you can totally click on 'em to hear the tunes).
First Aid Kit: "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song"
When a couple of teen-Swedish sisters showed up on YouTube with a cover of the Fleet Foxes' "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song," everyone everywhere shut their damn mouths and listened. This stripped-down rendition showcases Johanna and Klara Söderberg's incredible vocal harmonies as well as their affinity for hanging around forests. And while nobody is saying that Fleet Foxes is a subpar band, First Aid Kit kind of shows 'em how it's done. Oh, and the duo's originals are pretty damned great, too.
The Get Up Kids: "Alec Eiffel"
The Pixies show in Santa Fe solidified my already diehard love for the band. Face it, nerds—Pixies is one of the best ever. Ever. In 1999, a tribute album called Where is my Mind: A Tribute to The Pixies came out, featuring bands like Braid, Weezer, Eels and more contributed plenty of killer covers. The emo band The Get Up Kids, however, totally stole the show with its sped-up and energetic cover of "Alec Eiffel." Yes, the original is way awesome, but as an old roommate who was the biggest Pixies fan of all time would often tell me, "I kind of hate them, and I don't know how they did it, but The Get Up Kids took that song and made it their bitch."
Seu Jorge: "Oh! You Pretty Things"
Though I thought The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou was an incredibly boring waste of time, the Wes Anderson film did have a pretty excellent side-effect in the form of The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions featuring Seu Jorge. The Brazilian musician is best known for his upbeat samba numbers, but these sparse covers of David Bowie songs (which he sings in Portuguese) are absolutely incredible. With just Jorge and a nylon-string acoustic guitar, hits like "Life on Mars" and "Changes" take on entire new levels of beauty. The whole album is tremendously good, and it was hard to narrow it down to just one song, but "Oh! You Pretty Things" has a great groove. Jorge's über-deep voice is just gorgeous, especially in the almost whisper-quiet way he sings the chorus. I've heard that even Bowie himself was floored by the covers, and that dude's a wizard.
Gary Jules: "Mad World"
Tears for Fears is a great band. "Head Over Heels" could make you its girlfriend in about two seconds and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" is a classic. But when it comes to the song "Mad World," Los Angeles indie-folk singer-songwriter Gary Jules kills TFF. The song skyrocketed into our collective music lexicons as part of the soundtrack for the cult-fav-after-theater-release film Donnie Darko, and Jules' reverb-heavy piano rendition captures the heartbreaking subject matter way better than TFF's synthy original ever did. Just ask my mom, who can barely listen to that song without losing it big time.
Snooks Eaglin: "St. James Infirmary"
Nobody really knows who wrote this song, but its place in the annals of American blues is pretty legendary. Lots of people have done versions (Leadbelly and Jack White come to mind), but no one nailed it harder than Snooks Eaglin. A relatively obscure bluesman, Eaglin is more of an electric blues kind of guy, but on 2005's New Orleans Street Singer, he goes all acoustic for some of the most beautiful blues tunes ever committed to tape. Eaglin is a shredder, and his elegant/super-fast guitar breakdowns are only surpassed by the slight hint of desperation heard in his vocals. Boom.

Transfer news: Ajax's Ricardo van Rhijn plays down links to Everton
Ajax defender Ricardo van Rhijn has played down suggestions he could be on his way to the Premier League with Everton.
Last Updated: 27/01/14 2:42pm
Van Rhijn has made 59 appearances for Ajax and has established himself as their first-choice right-back.
Speculation has claimed he could be on the radar of Everton boss Roberto Martinez, but the player insists he is happy with his current club.
Van Rhijn told Amsterdam TV station AT5: "It's everywhere in the news.
"It would be nice if they are interested, but for now I am happy here in Amsterdam."
The 21-year-old, who has been in good form this season with two goals in 14 appearances, is under contract with Ajax until the summer of 2015 and is happy to be back in action after the winter break.
He added: "I am feeling better. I am fully fit and came back sharp from the winter break. The two weeks off was a welcome break."
The Holland international has recently lost his place in the national side to Feyenoord's Daryl Janmaat but will hope to be involved in the World Cup squad.

Improved Taj Gibson key for Bulls
DEERFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Taj Gibson flashed back to the grueling workouts in the searing Southern California heat last summer.
There he was with Derrick Rose, running and jumping and trying to take his game to another level for the Chicago Bulls while their superstar point guard worked his way back from a left knee injury.
While Rose's comeback screeched to halt in November, Gibson's ascent continued.
He played a big role off the bench while assuming more responsibilities on a team that again lost its cornerstone and traded away another top player in Luol Deng. Gibson averaged 13 points and emerged as a Sixth Man of the Year candidate for a 48-win team with home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs against Washington.

Will Gas Prices Effect Your Memorial Day Weekend Travel? – Poll Of The Day
Memorial Day is Monday and with it comes a 3-day weekend. The extra time off is nice if you have it, but are you going to take full advantage?
Will gas prices effect your Memorial Day weekend travel plans?
Gas prices are slightly lower in West Michigan today than they were exactly one year ago...for now.
Mlive.com reports that gas prices have actually gone down over Memorial Day weekend the last two years:
Prefaced with the prediction prices could still nudge up slightly this week, (Gasbuddy.com's Patrick) DeHaan said prices dipped even on Memorial Day and the day after last year.
Prices in West Michigan on May 27 last year, the Friday of Memorial Day weekend, were $3.97, DeHaan said, and kept falling to $3.89 the day after the holiday.
"People become so hypersensitive to gas price around any holiday, you know, that even if prices don't go up they have a tendency to believe that they have in years past," DeHaan said.
Well, count me among those people who have a tendency to believe that gas prices go up over holiday weekends. I filled up both of my family's cars a couple of days ago. Trying to predict gas prices in West Michigan is like trying to predict the weather in West Michigan...and we all know how well that usually works out.
Whether prices go up or down a little will help or hurt a little, but it will still be expensive to travel this weekend either way.

text: I just found this forum yesterday, and this is only my second post, so bear with me guys. I'm pretty new to this lawncare thing. I've helped a friend of mine the past few years, and decided to go into it on my own part time, with an eye toward four years from now when I should be able to retire from my job as a milkman. Hopefully, my business will be large enough by then to supplement my retirement pretty handily. A question. I've noted on posts here, as well as talking to others in the lawncare business from other areas that most seem to have a minium charge. I've heard the figure of between $30 and $35 thrown around several times. Around here, I'm not sure that will fly, as it is not necessarily a high income area. Also, I'm wondering if most of those with those high minimums started their business that way, or have simply adopted them after they grew to the point where they can afford to be more selective. I realize it is a pain to unload/load and move from one place to another, but if it is a yard that one person can complete in 30 minutes or less, it seems to me that $20 still computes to $40 an hour. I don't want to mow myself broke, but on the other hand I don't want to pass up business which can still be profitable. So, for you guys with a lot more experience than I, do you think minimum pricing is the way to go or not? And, if you do, how much do you think it should be? My potential customers are small town folk, and many are retired. Thanks. Neill

UBS steels itself for $1bn Libor rigging penalty
One of the City's biggest investment banks is set to be fined more than $1 billion for rigging key interest rates.
UBS is expected to be fined and censured by regulators on both sides of the Atlantic as part of wide-ranging inquiries into the manipulation of Libor, the set of interest rates at the heart of the financial system.
At about £620 million, the fine would be more than twice as much as the £291 million of penalties levied on Barclays last summer for Libor-related offences, which triggered a wave of public disgust and led to the departures of the three most senior managers.
Barclays was found to have manipulated Libor initially in an attempt to line the pockets of some of its traders and…

OAKLAND (CBS SF) – Oakland Public Works Agency employees this week began their annual "pothole blitz" to repair some of the city's most pockmarked streets.
Mayor Jean Quan said the number-one infrastructure issue raised by Oakland residents in town hall meetings is fixing potholes.
KCBS' Bob Melrose Reports:
Quan said that with the city's budget shortfall, deciding which and how many streets to focus on is a "balancing act."
This week, city workers are fixing potholes in West Oakland. Central Oakland will be targeted the week of May 2; East Oakland will be the focus the week of May 9; and during the week of May 16, workers will respond to pothole repair requests in high-traffic areas throughout the city.
The city's goal is to have eight crews fill in more than 2,000 potholes in the next month.
Public Works Director Vitaly Troyan said potholes are an ongoing problem for all major cities, especially in the springtime, when moisture from rain causes roadway surfaces to erode.
Troyan said streets generally last about 30 years but Oakland only has enough money to pave its streets every 85 years.
"Until additional resources are provided to repave streets, we'll continue to patch, patch and patch some more," he said.
Troyan said Oakland residents who have a specific pothole they want repaired should call (510) 615-5566.
