The 2014 WFA Fishing Tournament Wrap Up
This year's tournament ran from July 10th through the 19th and concluded with a bbq reception and award ceremony at our headqauarters on East Beach Road. Most of the registered fishermen came to the party to pick up their tournament t-shirt and celebrate their recorded catches. All in attendance loved the new location for the after party and were thrilled that we had brought the tournament back after taking a year off in 2013. It was great catching up with everyone and hearing how they made out over the 10 day tournament.
After enjoying the cookout put on by the WFA board of directors and member volunteers we moved on to the award ceremony. We began with the kids division celebrating young 7 year old Zachary Carter who reeled in a 15.30lbs striper and 7 year old Austin Altrich who weighed in a 8.30lbs bluefish. Next we awarded Sue Igler for carrying the womens division by weighing in a 5.15lbs bluefish. Then we moved to the cash prizes when we announced that Chris Daniels was the $250.00 prize winner for landing the largest striped bass which weighed in at 48.40lbs and Robert Berhman who was awarded the $100.00 prize for the largest bluefish which weighed in at 13.85lbs.
Austin Altrich pictured here with his dad David Altrich of Altrich Anglers reeled in the largest striped bass for the youth division.
$250 1st Place Prize for the largest by weight Striped Bass went to Chris Daniels on the left above.
Robert Behrman on the right in the photo above took 1st place for the largest bluefish by weight
and then went on to clean up at the raffle table!
Many thanks go out to Keith Igler owner of Westport Bait and Tackle for being the tournament weigh in station! His wife Sue landed a winning bluefish for the women's division.

Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forum so I'd like to first say hi to everyone.
I recently began experimenting with wiring to the SD card on a breadboard and I had a thought. Why not connect the ground pins on the SD card to a 1.7v supply and use the 5V line for VCC? This way the card will see a 3.3V supply and see 3.3 level signals from the arduino.
I tried this and it seemed to work out fine. When I initially used the voltage dividers (since I didn't have the buffer IC), I started to get bad data after a certain speed because of the resistor delay. This was eliminated when I used the 1.7v supply. I am able to write 6 channels of analog data at 200 Hz. I haven't tried anything faster yet.
My question is does anyone think this is damaging the SD card? I've already ordered the buffer ICs but if this method works fine over a long time then I won't use them.

The stories of the people on this page are stories of courage, stories of love, stories of heroic struggle.
Celebrate with us the stories of these brave Lung Cancer Heroes. While they are not here to tell their stories themselves, these Heroes inspire us and motivate us to keep fighting this disease every day and in every way.
Please add the story of your Hero. Don't forget to include some photos!
Erik Hidalgo
Erik Hidalgo was just 24 years old when lung cancer took his life, six days before his first wedding anniversary. Erik was a non-smoker.
Highly motivated to succeed, Erik attended college while working nearly full time, ultimately earning a bachelor's degree in social and behavioral sciences, with a concentration in economics, from California State University, San Bernardino in June 2001.
Roy Spiegel
Los Angeles, CA
as told by his wife, LCFA President, Kim Norris
I didn't grow up thinking "Oh, someday I want to start a lung cancer research foundation!" But life has a funny way of throwing you unexpected curve balls that can change the best laid plans in a nanosecond.
I am Kim Norris and I am the Co-Founder and President of the Lung Cancer Foundation of America (LCFA). In 1999, I lost my husband, Roy, to lung cancer when he was 47 years old after we waged a two-year battle trying everything possible to save his life…
Connie Defalco-Blanchette
Ottawa, Canada
as told by her sister, Jane Ayres
On the December 3, 2011 morning that lung cancer took my beautiful sister, Connie Defalco-Blanchette, she had planned to watch a movie that day with her son Jason, who had driven hours to be with her. In her mind, death was not a possibility that she ever really gave in to, and certainly not that day. I was thousands of miles away, as I live in Los Angeles and she lives in Ottawa, Canada. Sadly, and I feel guilt about this still, I was not there at the end, but many of my brothers and sisters were, as well as her only surviving son and her husband…
Lynda Roth
Laguna Beach,CA
as told by her partner, Lisa Richter
Born in a rural town outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Lynda began studying music at the age of seven and performed in choirs from age eight. Her professional career began at 21, the summer before she graduated from Brandeis University.
She responded to an ad in the local press looking for a female singer piano player. Band members Jimmy and John drove out to hear her…
Desiree's Uncle Jerry
Cherokee County, South Carolina
as told by Desiree Eubanks
When I was eight years old my uncle, Jerry, suddenly became very sick. October 18, 2003 we took him to the Gaffney ER and I waited impatiently in the waiting room. Although I was very young and didn't quite understand what was going on I remember it like it was yesterday. I could see that everyone was very upset and my Mama's friend came to pick my brother and me up from the hospital
At this time I didn't know my uncle had cancer. The doctor had told us it was just a sinus infection….
Lori Monroe
Bowling Green, KY
as told by the LCFA Board of Directors
Sometimes the impact of a single life is far deeper than a whole lifetime. And sometimes a lifetime is too short. In the case of Lori Monroe, both are true. A tireless and selfless advocate for lung cancer patients – including herself – Lori's imprint on all of us will not soon be forgotten.
Lorraine "Lori" Gail Monroe, 55, co-founder of Lung Cancer Foundation of America…
Jean and Perla Warren
Gold River, CA
as told by their daughter, Marie Fournier
On March 5th, 2010, four weeks before my parent's 50th wedding anniversary, we received devastating news that my mother was in stage four of lung cancer. Our little family was broken. A strong family unit of my parents, my sister, myself, my husband, my two kids and my sister's son were all in shock that something so irreversible could penetrate our perfect family. So we began the battle….Read More

Jan 24, 2013The only "tale" here is the historical aspect. And it's rather a sad tale since it's a blatant propaganda. Other than that, questions arise like: Why so brutal? Why so dystopian? And why is the hourglass one fifth full after a few seconds but goes on for several minutes after that? One of the worst movies I've ever seen...
Apr 13, 2013Increadibly overated...plot full of holes,for example:what's the reason girl's mother get married to sadistic psychopath at the first place?Girl had been told for a million times not to eat food when comes to the monster and yet that's the first thing she did there,why?And maiden didn't kill sadistic bastard when she had a chance-she cut his mouth with a knife but didn't kill him,why?And so on...
Pan's Labyrinth artfully fuses a war film with a family melodrama and a fairy tale. The result is visually stunning and emotionally shattering.
Dark, twisted and beautiful, this entwines fairy-tale fantasy with war-movie horror to startling effect.

The guys over Motor Trend had the chance to bring two of the most amazing American supercars out there: a 2013 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and the new SRT Viper for a test comparison at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. No doubt both cars were equally impressive and the new Viper has been simple described as "just more of an animal."
But no matter how impressive it is, or how fast it is, the ZR1 turned out to be even more impressive. With Randy Pobst behind the wheel the ZR1 managed to set a new Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca lap record with a time of 1:33.70. The previous record was held by a 2010 Dodge Viper ACR for more than three years with a time of 1:33.99.
The car used was a ZR1 straight from the showroom and Pobst needed only five laps to establish this impressive result. By comparison the new SRT Viper managed to lap the Laguna Seca in 1:35.77 - making it even slower than the old ACR version.
Note: no car was harmed during this test drive!

Hi everyone. I just wanted to let you all know due to the fact that, at the moment, I'm feeling really at peace with life which is something I haven't felt in a really long time, I've decided to just be in the moment and not hide in the dark like I used to. Because of this I haven't had any new ideas for poems. Hopefully soon I'll be able to post a new one, but until then I'm at a pause. Thank you for all your feedback on my poems; I'm really happy you enjoyed them and hope you will wait patiently until the next time I post. Until then, I hope you all have a good life and wish the best for you all! Bye <3

JONESBORO, AR (KAIT) – Police have arrested a suspect after a reported aggravated robbery on Wednesday night.
According to Jonesboro police, Marcus Huff is accused of robbing the Quick Trip convenience store on the intersection of Flint and Nettleton.
Officers say Huff matched the description of the suspect given by witnesses at the store. Another officer says Huff was trying to stop a vehicle on Heern Street. He then ran from the officer until he was eventually taken into custody.
During the investigation, officers retrieved a black Phantom BB hand gun in the yard of a home on Mallory Court. Police say Huff told them he tossed the gun after running from the store. Officers found no BBs or CO2 tank in the gun.
No one was hurt during the robbery. Officers found an undisclosed amount of cash that Huff had dropped.
Huff is charged with aggravated robbery, probation violation and theft.

The basement -- at first just a garage, quite similar to the one where we met Norman's father -- transforms into a sad sex den, with a video camera trained on a chaise-lounge and a disco ball going giggity over the whole thing, and then a smaller door, slide-locked from the outside. And you know -- and Norman knows -- what he's going to find in there under the fluorescent light.
I don't know what her name spells, but she's still alive -- barely, track marks all the way down just like last time we saw her -- and she knows enough English to beg him for his help. Just as Shelby's arriving home.
Is she real? We still don't know. But we do know that Norman has all the proof he's gonna feel he needs. His problems, besides being a crazy, are twofold: The dead Chinese girl and the purloined rape-belt. And I think pretty quickly in the first act of next week's episode, both of those will not be any easier to solve, for having become two halves of the same problem: Deputy Zach Shelby, the Man Who Kissed Mommy.

Age: 44-55 Skin: Combination, Olive, Warm Hair: Brown, Kinky, Medium Eyes: Brown
I am going grey. I love my hair and I have spent years attending to its health. so I have been so reluctant to use permanent colour to date.
In light of this, my hairdresser recommended I use this product until I feel ready to take the plunge into permanent hair colour.
It comes in a lipstick like tube. It is a hard stick of brown (but it comes in about 3 other colours) which you wet with water and then apply to the hair where needed.
It has blended my greys be-au-ti-fully!
It feels and smells like boot polish while you put it on, but that smell goes away in a second. It doesnt look that way though! It looks as though you have just put some texture into your hair at the roots.
And it washes off easily in water.
If you have a small amount of grey hair around the scalp that you need to disguise temporarily, I strongly recommend you find this product.
I have used another similar product in the past that came in a kind of mascara wand, but it was horrible.
Look for the Roux brand!

The granite crags called me for years,
I knew their reason to exist,
to contact skies as blue adheres,
on sovereign mass and clouds' mist.
Forsooth it was eternal gleam,
distant the poetry of sorrow
with friends the crags and time's extreme,
I knew from there I won't withdraw.
And then I heard her voice to call,
'come join with me upon the crags',
In gusts was hung my mountain role
for I was born to be my world's,
crimson and shrag.
Above I passed (Mistral on Alps!)
I saw those peaks waiting for me;
hence skies were open to engulf,
uprising me in snowflakes fall,
twas all before me.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.
I feel like there's a theme this week of When Big Bands Go Small. On Sunday, Bar Pink had Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio, and tonight there are two sold-out shows that could have been in much larger rooms. Angels and Airwaves quickly sold out after their Belly Up show announcement, and Crosses swiftly sold out the Casbah when people caught on to the fact that the band features Deftones singer Chino Moreno and guitarists Shaun Lopez and Scott Chuck of Far. Fortunately, if you didn't grab these hot tickets, you might still be able to grab some tickets to Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. over at Soda Bar. The band has played San Diego a few times now, and each new show is even better than the last and is a guaranteed good time.

AT & T launches femtocell solution
AT&T quietly launched the A&T 3G MicroCell, the first femtocell from the carrier. The unit acts like a mini cellular tower in the home or small business, which allows for better indoor coverage.
The MicroCell connects to AT&T's network via users' existing broadband Internet service and is designed to support up to four simultaneous users in a home or small business setting.
With AT&T 3G MicroCell, the consumer gets better cellular signal performance for both voice calls and cellular data applications, like picture messaging and surfing the Web.
While AT&T's Web site didn't provide specific availability and pricing details, it appears the MicroCell will initially be available in limited areas and will require a monthly service fee.
AT&T isn't the first to deploy a femtocell solution. Sprint currently offers a femto solution, which also requires a monthly service fee for unlimited service. The femtocell has long been touted as the answer to cheap backhaul for carriers, but lack of a business model has kept them from mass deployment.

Design-house Gurnade has just teased us with another of its 2010 SEMA projects. This time it's a Chevrolet Camaro built by Gene Marcel on behalf of aLL STaR Performance. This won't be Gene's first stab at building a SEMA project, having done successful ones in the past including a Volvo S40 that we saw ourselves in the Status Racing booth back in 2006 and a Honda Fit recently in 2009.
His 2011 Chevrolet Camaro will truly have an all star cast of products starting with a supercharger from Lysholm under the hood. The exterior will receive plenty of toys from Extreme Dimensions, Air Lift Suspension, Forgestar Wheels and Falken Tires. On the inside it looks like Gene will be gearing up with Status Racing again, STACK, Autometer and custom interior from Trent's Trick Upholstery. On the outside the Camaro will be painted with a custom blend from Dupont.
We're sure more exciting SEMA 2010 leaks will be coming soon and we'll be sure to be one of the first to report them.

Joseph Bob Hott, 67 year old Hornbrook resident, passed away on Thursday, February 21, 2013 at his home following a long illness.
Joe was born September 2, 1945 in Palo Alto to Loston and Mary Hott. He was raised in Palo Alto and Boulder Creek, attending Garfield Jr. High and San Lorenzo Valley High School. It was in 1958 in junior high that Joe met Diane Rocca. They were married on June 20, 1964 in St. Michael's Catholic Church in Boulder Creek. They later settled to raise their family in Felton. Joe worked in the Santa Cruz mountains logging as a choker setter. He then worked for 27 years for the San Lorenzo Valley High School in maintenance and janitorial. Joe and Diane moved to Siskiyou County 19 years ago.
Joe enjoyed camping, boating, fishing, target shooting and raising his ducks and geese. He collected Roy Rogers memorabilia and radio control vehicles. He enjoyed watching wrestling (WWE) with his grandson, JJ, NCIS and NASCAR and loved to sponsor Toby Judd race his #3 Ford at the Siskiyou Speedway in Yreka. Joe and his son, Joey, loved playing together with their model train collection on the table which Joe and Diane made together. Joe worked with his grandson, Charley, on many mechanical projects; the most memorable was when they put Joe's "cherry picker" together.
Joe was a volunteer with the Felton Fire Department for 28 years. He was the president of the Hornbrook Neighborhood Watch Program and a member of the Siskiyou County wide Neighborhood Watch Program.
Joe is survived by Diane, his wife of 48 years; 3 children, Edith Buckingham and her fiancé, Dan Best, Suzanne Hott and Joseph Hott, all of Hornbrook; 2 brothers, John Hott and his wife, Marilee of Cupertino and Anthony Castro of Watsonville; five grandchildren, Gerald "J.J." and Charles "Charley" (Destiny) Buckingham, Kira Hott, Krysta Hott and Gabe Best; a great granddaughter, Lilyana and 5 nieces and nephews, Elaine, Christina, David, John and Mark Hott.
Friends and family are invited to a visitation on Tuesday evening, February 26, 2013 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. in Girdner Funeral Chapel in Yreka. Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. in the Hornbrook Community Church in Hornbrook with burial to follow in the Henley Hornbrook Cemetery in Hornbrook. Memorial contributions may be made to Access Inc. (www.accesshelps.org), 3630 Aviation Way, Medford, OR 97504 or to the Black Mt. Volunteer Fire Auxiliary, 13623 Ager Rd., Hornbrook, CA 96044. Joe donated an acre of his own property for the purpose of putting in a fire station which is so needed in the Black Mountain community. He wanted that to be his legacy; unfortunately, he did not live long enough to see its completion.

21 June 2011
Shortly before a craggily, decrepit woman used a box of plants to battery ram me into a group of people that had about as much give as the boards in the movie Slapshot, I stood on the subway platform waiting for the 2 train the take me into the belly of the beast this morning. While waiting, in the periphery of my solitaire-focused eyes, I saw a tubby gentleman who, without turning this into a geometry class, was just standing too close to me. For no real reason. The platform was only moderately crowded and where I was, because I'm good like this, there was no one except for me. Well, and now this tubby, shadowy figure. I went as far as to notice him, but rarely look at anyone on my commute, so that's where it ended.
Until he started getting closer. Very slowly. Very creepily.
"Oh cool dude. Why don't we go away to summer camp and argue over who gets the top bunk and then build a canoe out of a tree and ride it over a bitchin' waterfall together." Thats how I think when someone gets too close to me. There's nothing I hate more.
He finally stops inching, pulls up right in front of me and hocks a fucking loogie onto the tracks. This is a deep underground subway station with the acoustics of Carnegie Fucking Hall, and he keeps hocking loogies.
So I look up a bit and he has jeans on, a sign that is not of our ilk. "Our" being the standard shit sandwich-eating commuter. And then I look all the way and what's sitting on top of his blimp head but a fucking backwards Bruins cap. Motherrrrr fuckerrrrrr.
Before we even got swept by the Bruins I had a certain distaste for them. Before the comeback, before the Winter Classic. It's a personal thing when most of your friends are from a region. They have their favorite teams and you, being from somewhere else, are expected get into disagreements over white wine spritzers at events where you both don't know anyone else. Eventually the lines between the act and the truth blur and you do hate them, in earnest.
Flyers fans have historically talked about the Devils and Rangers as our biggest rival. I've never felt that. To tell you the truth, as a kid I hated the Canadiens for some reason. I think it was because of Lyle Odelein. Maybe one of the reasons I loved Lindros so much too. But as I've gotten older the goal horns that produce the most bile in my gullet can easily be ranked.
Picture this, a no-name defenseman runs Mike Richards from the Hurricanes. You get fired up as you sip your beer, hoping that revenge will be extolled, but you don't stand up gesticulating wildly to the tv. But if a Bruins defenseman does it you want his head. It has to be a major and 40 game suspension at least.
So, enough foreplay, here is the final ranking of the teams I hate the most. These are the away games I can hardly stand to watch because I'm terrified to see what these fans actually look like, with their fucking Mens Express sweaters rolled up to their elbows and Fossil watches in the first row. And the home games I all hope end like the Flyers-Penguins, Carter-Whitney ass whomping of the past.
1. Pittsburgh
2. Boston
3. New York
And that's it.
Not just because of last season, but it's always been difficult for me to hate the Devils because they don't have any fans. The Sabres fans have enough to worry about without me throwing more negative energy at them. I have too much respect for Canadian franchises. The Caps blow but they're not on my radar, same with the rest of the Southeast or whatever they're called. I'm not even sure the Islanders exist.
As much as I hate the Penguins I want to see Sidney Crosby come back healthy and play out his career. It's great for hockey. It's great for us. Losing to them when they don't have him is shameful and beating them when they do is the real thing.
We've covered the Bruins, and the Rangers...well I'm not sure if I'd even hate them if I didn't live here. But people like the old woman with the plant box this morning, the woman who has me picking hydrangea leaves out of my ass, she keeps that fire burning. Her and the other 10 million people just like her.

my first animation
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars May 21, 2013
Wow, this was amazing for its time, and even now it's still a great piece of work. Love the atmosphere, especially the way the main character was drawn. It was a bit on the short side, and there wasn't as much character development as I would like, but it is nonetheless amazing. There's a reason that this is one of the more well known flashes of the early era: it has that serious feel without being pretentious not found in flashes today, let alone back then.
Rated 4 / 5 stars April 4, 2012
For it's time this was epic.Sure, it's short, but it had high quality animations, a plot, and a nice ending! This flash had it all for the time, and that's why it still holds up as a classic.
Rated 5 / 5 stars January 21, 2012
Nice short film, nice music it fits the story in a sense, and you ended it with a cliff hanger. Good job
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars October 3, 2011
Nice Lighting Effect
This has got to be one of my favorite Newgrounds flashes on the past. You did an excellent job creating a nice creepy aura in the flash with mysterious looming characters. A very nice job on making this a successful "noir" flash with great quality especially the street lighting effect it can't get much better than this for a flash this old. The music was great and added a very nice scene especially when he's walking up the stairs after hearing the gunshots creating a somewhat spooky scene. A nice plot set up with the flash as well keep up the great work!
The ending could have been improved quite a bit and it kind of makes the long pace and sense of timing kind of a waste. I wish it explained more about the character and why or what he was exactly doing going up the stairway in the house and investigating such things.
It's a great spooky and mysterious flash yet truly grim and interesting. The plot and character could be emphasized more but other than that excellent job.
-TY Reviews
Rated 4 / 5 stars September 7, 2011
This is the kind of entry that brought me to Newgrounds in the first place! A brilliantly stylistic entry, with groundbreaking visuals for the time! I love the noir-esque look to it with the black and white used to great effect, with the blood red really being emphasised!
The main downfall for this piece is the story. It looks amazing, but the sotry doesn't really hold up to well, as slight as it is. Who is this man that decides to start randomly investigating gunfire? You'd think if he was a detective of some sort he would be slightly more effective in the outcome of the movie.
Still, this is an amazing movie, and exactly the type of thing I like to see here on Newgrounds.

What Kind of Trial Are You Going Through?
- Monday, October 14, 2013
When disaster strikes, Americans run to God in heaps. According to a Lifeway Research survey conducted in May 2013 after the Oklahoma tornado tragedy, approximately six in 10 Americans (57 percent) agreed that they had a greater interest in God. Studies like this are useful and only confirm what we already know to be fact. During tragedies, masses flock to God. Communities gather for prayer rallies. Television programming, usually reserved for sitcoms, is transformed into special coverage highlighting vigils, ceremonies, and prayers ending in "the name of Jesus."
The Trial of Adversity
Trials of adversity bring us to our knees and to our Comforter. I know this to be true in my own life. When troubles are many, my face is to the ground, my Bible is worn, and my prayers are overflowing. But what happens when when worries are few and life seems wonderful? I'd like to say that I'm still crying out to God daily with a similar passion. I'd like to say that I am reading Scripture with the same ferocity. But the truth is I do not. When I don't feel my need, I can forget that God continues to be my every moment, every single day need regardless of my circumstance and how I feel.
The Trial of Prosperity
Everyone tends to forget God during times of prosperity. Hosea 13:6 says, "It was I who knew you in the wilderness, in the land of drought; but when they had grazed, they became full, they were filled, and their heart was lifted up; therefore they forgot me." Their hearts were lifted but not to the Lord. So it is with us. We tend to worship ease, to become self-sufficient, and thus lack genuine prayer and worship. Trembling before the Lord and the mystery of His providence ceases. Thanksgiving becomes minimal. Complacency seeps into our hearts like a leaky faucet—eventually becoming a pool of self-absorption and laziness towards the Lord.
Prosperity can look different for all of us. For me it doesn't mean a time of great wealth, it's simply a time when not as much as usual is going on. There's general peace in the home, perhaps my kids are doing well in obedience and my husband and I are enjoying a season of sweet conversations and time together. It doesn't take much for my heart to become satisfied with my circumstances and forget that God is the giver of all good things (James 1:17). We aren't thankful because we have forgotten the giver. We are self-sufficient because we've forgotten the provider of strength (Isaiah 40:29). It's simply easier to forget our need when we aren't being pressed.
Here's the good news. God is the giver of all good things including the faith to follow him. If I ever desire God, ever, it's only because he has done a work in my heart. In a video answering question 35 of the New City Catechism, which asks: "Since we are redeemed by grace alone, through faith alone, where does this faith come from?" Crawford Loritts explains:
"All of salvation, really, is of God. None of it is of ourselves. The Holy Spirit gives us new life and the Holy Spirit gives us the gift of faith. In Ephesians 2:1 the Apostle Paul tells us, we are dead in our trespasses and sin. There's nothing we could do to give ourselves life and to give us the ability to believe, and the Spirit of God comes the moment of salvation and gives us new life. Down in verse 8 and 9 in Ephesians 2 we are told that by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is a gift of God. God through His Holy Spirit gives us the gift to believe Him for our own salvation. He does it all for us."

GREEN BAY (WKOW) -- Wisconsin's gun deer season opening weekend ended with at least three hunting-related fatalities.
Officials say 41-year-old Shawn Lemanski, of Grafton, died from injuries suffered when he fell from a tree stand in the Marathon County town of Cassel.
Also, 51-year-old Steven Jackson, of Antigo, died after he was found unresponsive in the woods near Gleason in Lincoln County.
According to a WIZM radio report, 22-year-old Thomas Stamborski, of Milwaukee, died while hunting on the grounds of Fort McCoy. Authorities say he suffered a gunshot wound on land approved for hunting.
All deaths occurred Saturday.
NORTHERN WISCONSIN (WKOW) -- Officials say two hunters died on Saturday, on the opening day of gun deer season.
In the town of Russell, which is north of Merrill in Lincoln County, a man was found unresponsive in the woods. County officials say efforts to revive 51-year-old Steve Jackson, of Antigo, were unsuccessful. Jackson was head of the Langlade County Forestry Department.
Foul play is not suspected, but the death is under investigation.
In the town of Cassell, which is west of Wausau in Marathon County, police say 41-year-old Shawn Lemanski, of Grafton, died when he accidentally fell from a tree stand.
Foul play is not suspected in Lemanski's death, and authorities are no longer investigating the incident.
According to Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) wardens, one in three hunters will fall from a tree stand at some point, so they encourage hunters to use safety harnesses while out in the woods this week.
DNR officials say besides a few accidents, opening day was generally a success for hunters across Wisconsin.
More than 600,000 people are licensed to hunt in the state this year, and nearly 26,000 are first-timers.

In this weekend's issue, Parade visits Robin Williams, who is returning to TV in his first series since he gained fame in "Mork & Mindy" more than 30 years ago. The beloved actor, 62, plays an unorthodox adman in CBS's "The Crazy Ones" (starting Sept. 26) co-starring Sarah Michelle Gellar as his daughter and ad agency partner. "We needed an actor who could convey genius, insanity, and comedy, tempered with humanity," says series creator David E. Kelley ("Ally McBeal"). "Robin was the first and only choice."
Read excerpts from the wide-ranging interview below, and be sure to check out Parade this weekend for the full story.
On what it's like being back on TV:
"It's fun. I'm having such a blast doing it with Sarah. She's a sweet woman. And the idea of a father-daughter relationship -- since I have a daughter, I've done the research on that."
On why this was the right time to return after 31
"The idea of having a steady job is appealing. I have two [other] choices: go on the road doing stand-up, or do small, independent movies working almost for scale [minimum union pay]. The movies are good, but a lot of times they don't even have distribution. There are bills to pay. My life has downsized, in a good way. I'm selling the ranch up in Napa. I just can't afford it anymore."
On whether he lost all his money in his two
"Well, not all. Lost enough. Divorce is expensive. I used to joke they were going to call it 'all the money,' but they changed it to 'alimony.' It's ripping your heart out through your wallet. Are things good with my exes? Yes. But do I need that lifestyle? No."
On whether he felt betrayed by Lance Armstrong, who had been a
"It wasn't just Lance. [Most of the] team was doping. I haven't seen him since one of the last Livestrong benefits, I think just before the Oprah interview. It was literally like a wake for someone who was still alive, this overall feeling that the dream was over."
Also: 2013 Fall TV trends: Sitcom families
On relapsing into drinking, 20 years after getting sober, while
filming "The Big White":
"One day I walked into a store and saw a little bottle of Jack Daniel's. And then that voice -- I call it the 'lower power' -- goes, 'Hey. Just a taste. Just one.' I drank it, and there was that brief moment of 'Oh, I'm OK!' But it escalated so quickly. Within a week I was buying so many bottles I sounded like a wind chime walking down the street. I knew it was really bad one Thanksgiving when I was so drunk they had to take me upstairs."
On his family intervening to get him into rehab in
"It was not an intervention so much as an ultimatum. Everyone kind of said, 'You've got to do this.' And I went, 'Yeah, you're right.'"
On why he's done USO tours for our troops:
"I do those because it's like the real version of 'Good Morning, Vietnam,' meeting people and seeing what I can do to help. They're the best audiences I've ever had. The most powerful experience is visiting the wounded in hospitals. A friend of mine's doing a program in San Francisco at a veterans' hospital, getting them to do improv comedy as therapy. And it's really helping. Comedy can be a cathartic way to deal with personal trauma."
On whether, looking back, he has regrets:
"No. Regrets don't help."

Lovely and Comfortable Home
We have stayed twice at this lovely, private, quiet, and spacious home in the Berkshires, and definitely plan to return. There is so much to do in the immediate area that it's hard to decide whether to stay home and enjoy the peaceful, relaxing environment or to go out and about to dine out, hike, swim, visit museums, attend concerts or plays in the glorious Berkshires. Beds are super comfy, kitchen is great, the shady deck with double hammock is so inviting- we could go on and on! It was a good value for the area and size of house. Try it- you will enjoy!
Lovely and Restful
The pictures of this home didn't do it justice! It is even more spacious and serene than it appears in the pictures. The owners provided great information about area attractions and restaurants, and the house was perfectly clean when we arrives. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and a pleasure to cook in. Right out the back door are wonderful hiking trails with a crystal clear stream. We felt pleasantly secluded but not in the middle of nowhere; a high end restaurant is just a five minute walk down a country lane, and a designer cup of coffee is an 8 minute drive at The Marketplace Cafe. We enjoyed every minute, and will definitely return.
Beautiful country vacation spot
We just returned from two blissful weeks at this lovely country house. The front deck is sunny and delightful in the morning, the back deck, shaded by soaring pines, is cool and delicious in the afternoon. The house is homey and welcoming, with a great jazz CD collection, perfect and simple WiFi, and ample supplies of kitchen staples. The setting is quiet, rural, well off the road (which is well away from major roads), but not isolated. We took beautiful walks (me and our dog) and runs (my husband) along roads with spectacular mountain views, where we met cows, goats, deer and rabbits. We heard great music at Tanglewood and Music Mountain, and saw Midsummer Night's Dream at Shakespeare and Company, all within easy reach. A beautiful spot provided by kind and responsive owners.

I passed!
You are all now well aware that My Chef has deserted me. We've spent very little time together this year and I miss him desperately. So in order to pass the time, I've been taking a number of courses. The first course was the WSET Intermediate Certificate in Wines and Spirits and the second was my PADI Open Water Diver course. I'd been thinking about doing them both for ages and thought that this summer was as good a time as any. And I passed!
I didn't do as well on my WSET course as I was hoping, but I will definitely do the Advanced Course and work a little bit harder at it!
Hope you're all enjoying your weekend!
After 13 years of school, 5 years of university and countless courses as a post-grad I think I have FINALLY found the school for me. Wine school!
I've just come back from my 5th class at the Wine and Spirits Education Trust and was given the following homework…"drink more wine!". Amazing and it's something I am totally committed to doing.
So far in the course we have covered wine and food pairings, chardonnay, pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, sauvignon blanc, riesling, syrah (shiraz), and grenache. I am not particularly confident in any of the above – well other than riesling as I am a huge fan – but if the only way I am going to get better is by tasting then tasting I will do.
Bring on Champagne week! I feel that it's an area where I can/will do quite well.
Wine time
As some of you will know, I've been saying for ages that I'd like to study wine and possibly even become a sommelier. My justification is that I like wine, I buy a lot of it and want to be able to spot a bargain, but most importantly creating the wine list is the best job in any restaurant, in my opinion. And when I own a restaurant, I want the best job.
There are no guarantees that I am even going to be good at wine tastings, but if I don't try I'll never know. And this will give me a little project to keep me busy whilst My Chef does his thing.
So I've finally signed up for the level 2 WSET course. It's starts in a month and I am already doing some pre-reading (and of course some tasting!) I'm actually really looking forward to this new challenge. All winter I felt like I needed to get something of my own to sink my teeth into, so this will be great.
I'm also really looking forward to meeting the others in the class. I am guessing it will be full of people in the hospitality industry so maybe I will finally be able to crack the staffing issues for My Chef :-) But they'll also be people who share my like of wine and might even become friends, and really who doesn't like friends?!?!?
Wish me luck!

A media advisory from Jack Conway's campaign teases that he will announce an endorsement from a "seniors' group" on Tuesday.
Conway will speak at a roundtable at the Twig and Leaf Restaurant in Louisville, a popular diner on Bardstown Road.
I would expect Conway to follow up on a WHAS11 story from Monday that shows Paul's campaign denying that he is proposing a $2,000 Medicare deductible, juxtaposed with a series of videos dug up by Conway's campaign in which Paul suggests a $2000 Medicare deductible for future generations.
Media Advisory
Conway to focus on protecting Kentucky seniors at roundtable in Jefferson County Tuesday
Conway announces endorsement from seniors' group
Paul would impose a $2,000 Medicare deductible; raise retirement age
LOUISVILLE – United States Senate candidate Jack Conway will focus protecting older Kentuckians as he meets with several seniors at a roundtable TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5 at the Twig and Leaf Restaurant in Louisville.
While at the roundtable, Conway will announce getting the endorsement of a seniors' group.
This discussion comes following Rand Paul's repeated calls for higher Medicare deductibles, including during remarks he made in June 2009. During that appearance, Paul said, "You really need higher deductibles. The real answer to Medicare would be a $2,000 deductible. But try selling that one in an election."
This undue burden Paul wants to put on Kentucky seniors comes in addition to his attacks on Social Security. He told Fox News Sunday that he wants to raise the retirement age for Kentuckians.

Sporting News has been told by two sources that David Beaty will be named running backs coach at Kansas.
Beaty coached receivers at Rice the last two years, helping develop Jarett Dillard into one of the top wide receivers in the nation.
Before joining Rice, Beaty was a successful head coach at MacArthur High in Irving, Texas, going 33-11 from 2002-05 and winning districts titles in 2004-05. He also was the head coach of North Dallas High in 2001.
Beaty, 37, is a native of Garland, Texas, who played football at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Mo.
Beaty's deep connections to Texas high schools is key, as it will help Kansas continue to recruit a state that it relies on for talent.

AS I SEE IT: As did KU, Obama will overcome - Emily Carlson
I thought this article was very interesting. Only KU football fans will appreciate it, thought. So for all you Jayhalkans, here you go!
By ANDREW MCDONALD, Kansas City Star
MacDonald Few in August projected the University of Kansas football team in a Bowl Championship Series game, while Virginia Tech entered the season in the Associated Press top 10, expecting to return for a fifth major bowl.
In December, though, the Orange Bowl announced the unlikely match-up between the Jayhawks and the Hokies. Pundits hailed KU's inspiring Cinderella story. But even Lou Holtz agreed that the more experienced Hokies would crush the untested Jayhawks.
When Aqib Talib high-stepped into the end zone in the first quarter, it was clear that the Jayhawks possessed an intangible element that not even the vaunted Virginia Tech juggernaut could stop. The Jayhawks' feeling of destiny trumped the Hokies expectations of inevitability in Miami.
Destiny and inevitability also squared off hundreds of miles away that night in Iowa. And from the tropical rains of south Florida to the icy tundra of rural Iowa, destiny bested inevitability. "Our moment is now" promises Barack Obama, encapsulating the unique essence of his campaign.
Unlike the incessant claims to experience coming from Hillary Clinton, which necessarily emphasize the recent past, Obama speaks to the hopes of a future inspired by collective myths of American destiny. Their post-caucus speeches juxtaposed not just campaign styles, but philosophies of history and politics.
Surrounded by former Cabinet members, Clinton ticked off the challenges facing the country and claimed that her political acumen uniquely enables her to cut the deals that can change policies. The visual and the verbal combined to form a rhetoric of steady but incremental change. Obama, in contrast, constructed a narrative of national unity in the face of national challenges. By evoking Washington, Roosevelt, and King, he contextualized present challenges in the story of the nation.
Clinton promises to implement Democratic solutions to policy problems while Obama offers democratic responses to national challenges.
Clinton recalls the mediocrity of the 1990's while Obama has the audacity to tap into America's latent feelings of Manifest Destiny. Unlike the 19th-century land grab, though, Obama promises to live up to America's boundless potential.
The spirit of the age calls for a leader who can weave contemporary problems into a coherent and inspiring story of American possibilities.
Clinton may better navigate the halls of power, but Obama can harness the zeitgeist to power the ship of state in a new direction.
Inevitability relies on the past, but destiny promises the future. Destiny overpowered conventional wisdom on the football field in 2007, and I think it is fated to give an encore in the voting booths in 2008.

Kansas' Mangino caps big season in style - Emily Carlson
Kansas coach Mark Mangino entered an elite group of coaches after winning the Bryant Award on Thursday.
Surprising run by 12-1 Jayhawks earns Bryant Award
By BRANDON C. WILLIAMS, Houston Chronicle
Having already been named the Associated Press Big 12 Co-Coach of the Year and the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year, the University of Kansas coach won the 22nd annual Paul "Bear" Bryant Award Thursday night at the Hyatt Regency Downtown.
"This is really quite an honor," said Mangino, who led the Jayhawks to a 12-1 record, including a win in the Orange Bowl, during the 2007 season. "To receive an award in the name of Bear Bryant is special to me. I'm really thankful that among these great coaches who were up for this award, I'm the one who received it."
The award, sponsored by the American Heart Association, went to a Big 12 coach for the second time in three years. Texas' Mack Brown received the honor in 2005.
A well-coached team
Kansas was one of the nation's surprise teams, winning its first 11 games before losing to Missouri and taking the school's first trip to the Orange Bowl since 1969. The Jayhawks finished seventh in the final AP poll, largely behind a well-disciplined philosophy that saw them have the fewest penalties and best turnover margin in the country.
Mangino, who coached under Jim Tressel at Youngstown State, Bill Snyder at Kansas State and Bob Stoops at Oklahoma, joins his mentors as Bryant Award winners. Tressel won the honor at Ohio State in 2002, Snyder in 1998 and Stoops in 2000 after a season in which the Sooners won the national championship with Mangino serving as offensive coordinator.
"The most important part of this award is the coaches and players who helped make this happen," said Mangino. "We have some very talented young men, and we have some who just go out and play hard. Any coach will tell you that the better the players, the better the coach."
Mangino talked about how he grew up reading all he could about Bryant, the former Alabama and Texas A&M coach who won 323 games and six national championships. It was a conversation with former Crimson Tide quarterback Joe Namath a day before the Orange Bowl that helped Mangino truly understand Bryant.
"Not only did he talk about how great a coach Bryant was, but also what he meant to him as a man," Mangino said. "It was truly an unbelievable conversation."
Glittering competition
Mangino won the award over Virginia Tech's Frank Beamer (who could not make it to Houston because of bad weather in Virginia), Mississippi State's Sylvester Croom, former Hawaii and current SMU coach June Jones, national championship-winning coach Les Miles of LSU, Missouri's Gary Pinkel and Illinois' Ron Zook.
Jones welcomes the challenge of rebuilding the Mustangs. SMU is already on pace to have one of its best recruiting classes in a decade.
"I've had a lot of 18- to 20-hour days, but I'm excited about it," said Jones, who coached with the Houston Oilers from 1987-93.
Because of NCAA rules, Jones could not comment on the status of Katy quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell, who currently is a part of Hawaii's recruiting class but has recently pondered a change to join Jones at SMU.
The night also featured former Nebraska coach Tom Osborne receiving the Bear Bryant Lifetime Achievement award. Osborne, who won 255 games and three national titles with the Cornhuskers from 1973-97, was joined on the stage by more than a dozen of his former players, including current Texans Kris Brown and Ahman Green and former Oiler Jamie Williams.
"To have this number of players who came out is a great honor for me," said Osborne. "To coach against Bear Bryant was a meaningful experience. ... He was the gold standard of coaching."

The 13 Greatest Hits of the 2007 KU Football Season - Emily Carlson
With 6:08 left in the first quarter, Raimond Pendleton returned a Central Michigan punt 77 yards for a touchdown. The celebration got him an earful, but it also got him a standing "O."
By Kevin Romary, LJ World
2007-2008 was easily the most successful season in Kansas football history. Tonight we look back at the most memorable play from each of KU's 13 games. Kevin Romary breaks down the list. Watch
Photo by Nick Krug
Kansas University cornerback Aqib Talib pulls in an interception with a smile. He returned the ball 100 yards for a touchdown against Florida International, and 6News sports director Kevin Romary deemed it the play of the game in the Jayhawks' 55-3 rout of the Golden Panthers on Sept. 22, 2007.
The 6Sports, Journal-World and KUSports.com staffs combine to come up with a list of the most memorable plays from each weekend this fall during KU's historic 12-1 run to the Orange Bowl title. Watch them all right here.
WEEK 1, KU vs. Central Michigan: We should have known it would be a magical season on September 1. With 6:08 left in the first quarter, Raimond Pendleton returned a Central Michigan punt 77 yards for a touchdown. The celebration got him an ear full, but it also got him a standing ovation.
WEEK 2, KU vs. Southeastern Louisiana: Marcus Herford stole the show in Week 2. Midway through the first, the Jayhawks' kickoff return specialist raced 74 yards for the score.
WEEK 3, KU vs. Toledo: Aqib Talib showed he could do more than just shut down receivers. The proof came from 58 yards out, including a six-yard leap for pay dirt.
WEEK 4, KU vs. Florida International: A week later, Aqib did his thing on defense against FIU. A school record 100-yard INT return made KU 5-0 when wearing crimson tops.
WEEK 5, KU at Kansas State: The legend of Todd Reesing began. Moments after the Wildcats took the lead in the fourth quarter, the native Texan hit Dexton Fields in stride from 30 yards out to put the 'Hawks up for good.
WEEK 6, KU vs. Baylor: After a slow start and a rain delay, Marcus Herford opened up the flood gates.
WEEK 7, KU at Colorado: A week later, it was senior Derek Fine capping a 15-play, 94-yard drive against Colorado. Turns out, KU needed those points to stay perfect.
WEEK 8, KU at Texas A&M: In College Station, Brandon McAnderson ran for 183 yards, including a three-yarder in the fourth quarter that put KU on top 19-0.
WEEK 9, KU vs. Nebraska: This one ushered in history. For the first time every, the Nebraska blackshirts gave up 70 points, with Brandon McAnderson doing the honors.
WEEK 10, KU at Oklahoma State: Marcus Henry returned to his home state, racking up 199 receiving yards and dazzling the home folks with a late 82-yard catch and run.
WEEK 11, KU vs. Iowa State: Seven days later, it was Dexton Fields' time to shine. Against ISU, he caught a school record 11 passes, including a 17-yarder early to put KU up 7-0.
WEEK 12, KU vs. Missouri: The only down play of the season comes in the only loss. At Arrowhead Stadium, Todd Reesing's throw to Dexton Fields in the end zone is two yards short, and Kansas falls for the first time and only time in 2007.
ORANGE BOWL, KU vs. Virginia Tech: And finally, the play that will define the 2007 season. Aqib Talib in the Orange Bowl. It's a 60-yard play that Tyrod Taylor will never forget.
And there you have it, the top play from each of the 13 games played in the greatest season in the history of Kansas football.

Jayhawk football reaches new heights - Emily Carlson
By Brad Banks, The Miami County Weekend
The University of Kansas is no longer a one-sport school. Coach Mark Mangino arrived in 2001 and promised to get the "Blue Wings Rising" — and he wasn't talking boneless chicken. He has delivered, becoming bowl eligible four times. But this year, the Jayhawks soared to rare air indeed, making their first Orange Bowl appearance in 39 years and their first BCS appearance ever. In their last trip to Miami, the 'Hawks fell in overtime to coaching greenhorn Joe Paterno.
Many years of bad football later, Mangino has elevated KU to a winning program and has brought an excitement to the team that is usually reserved for the basketball squad. Big money is being spent on new practice facilities, and fans have finally started filling Memorial Stadium on Saturdays. Hoops-crazy Lawrence finally caught football fever. After KU's first win in Manhattan since the early Bill Snyder regime, fans knew they wouldn't have to wait until basketball season to see a winning team.
The Jayhawk faithful adored the gritty team, led by a quarterback and coach who are criticized for their size (although for vastly different reasons). Quarterback Todd Reesing draws comparisons to Doug Flutie because of his size, toughness and improvisational skills. The pocket-sized signal caller led KU through a dream season, becoming the first Jayhawk quarterback to exceed 3,000 yards passing in a season and become the school's all-time leader in passing touchdowns in his first full season of play. Since Mangino pulled Reesing's redshirt at halftime of last year's Colorado game (in which he engineered a comeback), the Jayhawks have lost only twice, and Reesing has already begun rewriting the record books. Expect to see Reesing on Heisman award watch lists this off-season.
Virginia Tech entered the game as an established powerhouse, making its 15th consecutive bowl appearance under coach Frank Beamer. The success experienced in Blacksburg fed Tech's confidence, who called themselves "America's Team" from the support shown the Hokies after last spring's tragic shooting, and generally overlooked Kansas, who many considered just lucky to be in Miami.
The experts thought KU might have been "Mangino'd" by its cupcake schedule and Beamerball would simply overpower the Jayhawks. Beamerball was coined to describe VT's attack — win the turnover battle, play strong defense, and make plays on special teams — that is practiced against dominant East Coast powerhouses such as the likes of Duke, North Carolina and NC State.
In a strange twist of fate, KU turned Beamerball on the Hokies. Indeed, the Hokies played tough defense, but the KU secondary intercepted two passes, and All-American cornerback Aqib Talib returned the first for a touchdown. And sure, VT made a few plays on special teams, such as the reverse-punt-return for a touchdown, but KU blocked a field goal that wound up making the difference. The Jayhawks exorcised the demons they had since losing the 1948 and 1969 Orange Bowls. Mangino proved why he was the National Coach of the Year, Talib proved his worth as the Orange Bowl MVP, and the Jayhawks proved they belong among the nation's elite.

No. 8 Kansas Defeats No. 3 Virginia Tech in Orange Bowl 24-21 - Emily Carlson
Wow, what a game. What a game. Sometimes sloppy, suprising, and weird, the Jayhawks sure did keep the Orange Bowl exciting. All you doubters, and you know who you are, suprised? Yes, Mangino is an excellent coach, and KU is for real.
By Bob Bensch
The University of Kansas beat Virginia Tech 24-21 in the Orange Bowl last night to finish the college football season with the most wins in school history.
Aqib Talib returned an interception for a touchdown and Todd Reesing threw for one score and ran for another as Kansas completed a 12-1 season at Dolphin Stadium in Miami.
Kansas, the No. 8 team in the Bowl Championship Series rankings, was playing in a major bowl game for the first time since the 1969 Orange Bowl. The Jayhawks finished with a 6-6 record last season.
Justin Harper returned a punt 84 yards for a touchdown for third-ranked Virginia Tech (11-3), which lost its fourth straight BCS game. Harper also caught a touchdown pass from Sean Glennon.
Kansas took a 7-0 lead when Talib intercepted a pass from Tyrod Taylor and ran 60 yards down the sideline for a touchdown. It was the first interception return for a score at the Orange Bowl since 1968.
The Jayhawks increased their lead to 17-0 in the second quarter as Scott Webb kicked a 32-yard field goal and Reesing threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Marcus Henry.
Virginia Tech pulled within 17-7 on Brandon Ore's 1-yard touchdown run 1:24 before halftime. The Hokies then used special team trickery to make it 17-14 early in the third quarter.
Eddie Royal caught a punt and started running to his right. He pitched the ball to Harper, who was running in the opposite direction, and he returned it 84 yards for a touchdown.
Blocked Field Goal
Virginia Tech drove to the Kansas 7-yard line on its next drive before Jud Dunleavy's field goal attempt was blocked. Kansas would get to the Hokies' one later in the quarter, but Reesing threw an interception after two penalties had backed the Jayhawks up to the 29-yard line.
Kansas's Justin Thornton intercepted a Virginia Tech pass early in the fourth quarter, returning it to the Hokies' 2-yard line, and Reesing ran for the touchdown that increased the Jayhawks' lead to 24-14.
Harper's 20-yard touchdown catch would pull Virginia Tech within 24-21 with three minutes remaining. Kansas's Raimond Pendleton then recovered the ensuing onside kick and the Jayhawks ran out the clock.

The first film followed Dave Lizewski, an unnoticed high school student and comic book fan who one day decides to become a super-hero, even though he has no powers, training or meaningful reason to do so.
The writer spoke about where some of the second films inspiration came from:
"My dad and I were living alone together after my mum died when I was 14 and that's reflected in Kick-Ass. I grew up wanting to be a superhero. You find a lot of these things turn out to be autobiographical."
"We shoot Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall and American Jesus this summer."
The writer is expecting Matthew Vaughn to be involved, not as a director but as a producer. Director Matthew Vaughn ruled himself out of the project, because of the X-Men: First Class Sequel.
Production is expected to begin this summer according to Mark Millar.
Kick-Ass 2 was released August 16th, 2013 and stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloe Moretz, Morris Chestnut, Claudia Lee, Amy Anzel, Clark Duke, Augustus Prew, Mary Kitchen. The film is directed by Jeff Wadlow.

Why Software Builds Fail
Re:Because I'm lazy (279 comments)
This doesn't work well if/when you do something like upgrade you compiler version and code that was previously non-warning producing now produces warning. For example, I work on an older Java system that has a few million lines of code. Most of the older code does not use generics, however the modern Java compilers will throw a warning for all that old code. The old code works just fine and there's nothing wrong with it. It would be nice if it used generics but there's not a lot of sense in going back and updating millions of lines of code, some of which may not even work properly with generics. So for that entire codebase we suppress the warnings about generics.

The Best Deep Dish Pizza in Chicago
Bartoli's is right around the block from me and I walked in to grab a quick slice. They asked if I wanted it heated. When I said no, they explained to me the best way to re-heat it at home. They will also ask you if you want your pizza sliced before delivery. Their theory (and I'll back it up) is that when a pizza is cut the sauce and juices will seep through and make the bottom of the crust soggy. In the end, they make great pizza and I find the sauce to be well balanced.
Bacino's does make the best stuffed (Spinach is my pref).

VeraTemp Non-Contact Thermometer VeraTempThis thermometer is fabulous! It not only is a non-contact but takes the temperature of surfaces, rooms, and living organisms. It is very simple to use and for infants truly is the best. Babies are fussy and the less you have to disturb them with anything else besides changing, feeding, and bathing is better for both baby and Mom.Sep 30,2012

First, the Chiefs hired former Patriots vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli. Next, they hired former Patriots offensive coordinator Charlie Weis. Their latest attempt to recreate the Patriots' old glory is their defensive coordinator... the man who held the same position in New England, Romeo Crennel.
Crennel was fired from the Browns, and then took some time off to rehabilitate after hip surgery.
The Chiefs may or may not be a good team in the next few years. But either way, they'll have an awful lot of bling in their front office and coaching department.
Romeo Crennel hired as the new defensive coordinator for the Chiefs

But if you're dieing to know the torrid details of the device, and perhaps think your IT department will double you up on touchscreen devices (assuming you have an iPhone or something similar) then hit the link for details galore. I'm just glad the 3.5-inch touchscreen is rocking 480×360 resolution.
