For those crossing the finish line at the Times Colonist 10K event on Sunday, the painful gratification was obvious. Hands grasped firmly at clenched and heaving abdomens. Legs quivered and stumbled as some runners fell into the arms of organizers or friends.
For Simon Stacey, 11, of Cobble Hill, he quickly noted his time and jogged onward to the refreshment tent before meeting friends on the lawn of the legislature.
More than 12,400 people children, parents, grandparents flooded the streets of downtown Victoria on Sunday in one massive test of endurance.
On a day when everyone is considered an athlete, there were as many individual goals as there were entries. Some wanted to outright win the race; others walked it. Some wanted to beat their personal best times; others brought strollers and introduced a new generation to the second-largest run in Canada, now in its 23rd year.
I had a little bit of training runs at school. We do it each Monday and then theres school runs every Friday, Stacey said about his preparation for the race that he made look easy. I was trying to pass this one person [who] my friend wanted to beat I got him at about the 1K mark.
Stacey finished in 42:06, well under the 49-minute goal he set for himself.
His dad, Rob, came in at 48:53. Muscles in his legs were cramping after the race because his training had consisted of just one 3.5-kilometre run.
I may have to train a bit more, he said, after catching up with his son.
Ally Martindale,13, ran her first 10-kilometre race when she was 11. She says she has since entered about four, maybe five races.
Ally trains and competes alongside her brother, Aiyden, and dad, Brian. She sets the pace while Aiyden and Brian run with her. On Sunday, she beat a personal best with a 45:39 finish.
Its a lot of fun, she said of the Times Colonist 10K. Theres a lot of people, so you push yourself a bit more.
Staceys dad had a similar experience when he saw a runner dressed in a pot leaf costume.
You see him and you think, if I cant beat the heavy smoker, somethings wrong, Rob joked. So I passed him pretty quickly.
Lorraine Grennan, 59, has run more races than she can count, including marathons and triathlons. The Langley resident finished Sunday at 51:08 and is preparing for the Vancouver Marathon next weekend.
Doing 10K races is a way for her to stay competitive. The provincial capital is also where she qualified for the Boston Marathon back in 2008.
Victorias tremendous to come to for races, she said. You cant beat the routes. Theyre fabulous and [the organizers] put on a good race.
Keith Reid of Kelowna completed his third race in two years at age 65, finishing an impressive eighth in his age group with a time of 48:43.
I got started a little late, he said. Today, my hips survived, but Ill be sore tomorrow.
The less-competitive participants walked, inline-skated or pushed children in strollers. But even among this group, there were those who pushed themselves to speedy times.
Guy and Calico Chartier of Powell River timed out at 1:08:24, an impressive time considering they pushed their 17-month-old son, Gabriel, in a stroller.
Its getting serious. I think were bumping up the competition for next year stroller riding, Guy joked.
They did several similar runs when they lived in Singapore, but never while pushing a stroller.
Hell be old enough soon to join us on the run, Guy said.

Gordo wrote:If you are concerned with water getting into the battery case, drill your hole on the side and use what is called a "drip loop." Form the wire down slightly in a "U" and then back up and into the case. Duct tape is good for a temporary test, then use Velcro plus a nylon strap. Velcro between the extra battery and current case, acting in shear, will not come loose if a strap around the case is holding it down.

I was just wondering why generally non-programming questions get many responses and votes on SO.
migrated from stackoverflow.com Jan 8 '10 at 12:31
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
It's called Parkinson's Law of Triviality: | |||||||||
We love to argue over stuff that doesn't really affect us.. | ||||
Non-programming questions don't require any kind of technical expertise. Anyone on SO is qualified to answer these questions, so far more people than usual participate. | |||
Because there's a much lower entry level for these questions. Everybody has an opinion, everybody loves to argue and you don't need any technical knowledge to do it. | |||
Because you get to say stuff you don't really mean or know anything about :) On the serious side: the questions that you classify as "non programming related" might actually be software related. Such topics get more answers and opinions because the question does not pertain to a specific language/product/technology. | ||||

Imagine walking into a store where you are greeted with a smile, where the staff members are waiting to help you find exactly what you need. Imagine the shelves are lined with all of your favorite products, many of which are grown or produced by people you know. Imagine how it would feel to be able to know that every product has been evaluated by a knowledgeable and dedicated Buyer. Imagine you can talk with the staff and they will listen to you and truly value your feedback and ideas. Imagine that you have a voice and a vote – that you can elect who sets the policies and direction of the store. Imagine that as this business grows and profits, you could get a share of the profit in the form of check delivered to your home.
Wouldn't it feel like this was your store? That you owned it?
As a Member-Owner of Hunger Mountain Coop, you are just that, an Owner of The Coop. Not many people can say that they own the store where they shop, but at our Coop this vision is a reality that anyone can be part of.
It's easy to join! Fill out a New Member Application today!
See what The Coop has in store for 2022 by reading The Coop's Ten-Year Vision!
A cooperative (or co-op) is a business organization owned by a group of individuals for their mutual benefit. Co-ops are unique because everyone makes an equal investment to become a Member-Owner of a co-op and has the same amount of influence over shaping the direction of the business they own. Co-ops are a sustainable business model in which individuals identify a need in their community, create a co-op to address the need, and sustain the endeavor with their patronage and participation. Types of co-ops include producer co-ops, housing co-ops, electric co-ops, day-care co-ops and even banking co-ops (credit unions).
Natural foods co-ops were created in the 1970s when individuals found it difficult to access healthy, organic and unprocessed foods at grocery stores. Individuals organized co-ops to harness the collective buying power necessary to place orders and build connections with producers, vendors, and farmers. Their efforts hugely influenced the development of the thriving organic and natural foods industry that we have today.

Aggressive new stimulus measures from Japan's central bank helped pull stocks higher and offset a downbeat report from the U.S. labor market.
The Bank of Japan's new leaders deliver on their pledge to radically overhaul the bank's monetary-policy program, as Facebook unveils a new home app for Android. Kaitlyn Kiernan joins The News Hub looks at the day in the markets.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 55.76 points, or 0.4%, to 14606.11, rebounding from a 112-point slide on Wednesday. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index added 6.29 points, or 0.4%, to 1559.98.
The Dow's gain was the 10th session in a row that the index moved in the opposite direction as the session before. For the S&P 500, it was the 11th straight day of nonconsecutive moves, the longest such streak since 1981.
"The bulls and bears are in this tug of war," said Burt White, chief investment officer at LPL Financial. "Central-bank action can overwhelm a lot of bad news. When it looks like things might break, like it's a brittle market that looks overbought, it keeps coming back to this reliance on more stimulus."
Mr. White said his firm has been shifting assets into defensive stocks like consumer staples, utilities and health-care shares in recent weeks. These sectors have been 2013's top performers, and Mr. White said he still sees potential upside with investors reluctant to commit to more volatile stocks.

The driver of Thursday's market was the Bank of Japan's announcement of a series of aggressive easing measures, including a major expansion of government-bond purchases. The move prompted a 2.2% surge in Japan's Nikkei Stock Average and sent the yen tumbling against the dollar and euro.
On the U.S. economic front, initial jobless claims increased by 28,000, to 385,000, last week, versus expectations for a slight rise. Jobless claims rose for the third week in a row, tempering expectations before Friday's release of nonfarm payrolls and the unemployment rate.
"We still see the economy recovering, and we still see growth. [Thursday's jobs number] doesn't change one's opinion, but it puts one on alert," said Rex Macey, chief investment officer at Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors.

It's back.
After lying dormant for months, Mitt Romney's record as a private equity executive returned to the forefront in the race for the White House Monday as President Barack Obama's re-election team launched an assault on the Republican's record in the 1980s and 90s.
The attack focuses on Bain's history at one company, Kansas City-based GST Steel. The Obama team portrays the firm as a victim of Romney's brand of capitalism gone wrong. A two-minute television ad running in Iowa, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia and Colorado - all battleground states - features former GST Steel workers lamenting the fact that they lost their jobs following Bain's takeover.
"They made as much money off it they could," says Dale Soptic, who the Obama campaign says worked as a steelworker for 30 years. "They closed it down, they filed for bankruptcy without any concern for the families or communities."
The workers featured in the ad say Romney's record as Bain's chief executive is a good indicator of how'd he's approach the presidency.
"He's running for president, and if he's going to run the country like he ran our business I don't want him there," Soptic says in the television spot. "He would be so out of touch with average people in this country. How could you care, how could you care for the average working person if you feel that way?"
Another steelworker, Jack Cobb, slams Bain in the ad as being like a "vampire."
"They came in and sucked the life out of us," Wiseman said. "It was like watching an old friend bleed to death."
GS Industries was acquired by Bain Capital in 1993, when Romney was acting as the firm's chief executive. The firm declared bankruptcy in 2001, after Romney had ceased day-to-day oversight of Bain.
On a conference call Monday, Obama Deputy Campaign Manager Stephanie Cutter said the Obama campaign's criticism was still relevent, despite the timing.
"He set this in motion. It was his structure that was put in place," Cutter said, noting Romney was still profiting from Bain at the time the company went bankrupt.
Romney's campaign spokesman Andrea Saul responded to the ad Monday, saying the campaign would "welcome the Obama campaign's attempt to pivot back to jobs and a discussion of their failed record. Mitt Romney helped create more jobs in his private sector experience and more jobs as Governor of Massachusetts than President Obama has for the entire nation."
Saul continued, "President Obama has many questions to answer as to why his administration used the stimulus to reward wealthy campaign donors with taxpayer money for bad ideas like Solyndra, but 23 million Americans are still struggling to find jobs. If the Obama administration was less concerned about pleasing their wealthy donors and more concerned about creating jobs, America would be much better off."
Monday's attack on Romney's record at Bain comes months after the issue first surfaced during the race for the Republican presidential nomination. Romney's opponents, principally former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Gov. Rick Perry, used the Bain record to slam Romney as out-of-touch with the struggles of working-class Americans.
The super PAC supporting Gingrich released a half-hour ad called "King of Bain" using workers from closed plants to paint Romney a heartless corporate raider.
Former candidate Perry, then reaching the end of his presidential bid, called Romney's Bain record "indefensible" ahead of the South Carolina primary in January.
"There is something inherently wrong when getting rich off failure and sticking it to someone else is how you do your business," Perry. "And I happen to think that is indefensible."
In defending himself against attacks on his record at Bain in the past, Romney has pointed to the several successful companies his firm helped turn around, including Staples and Sports Authority.
He has also slammed rivals for criticizing Bain's record, saying they amounted to an attack on free enterprise.
Cutter said Monday the focus on Romney's record at Bain remained an effective campaign tactic, even though Republicans used a similar strategy.
"If you take a look at how Bain Captial was disucessed through the Republican primaries, putting aside whether it was done well, it really was damaging to Mitt Romney. He consistently lost the middle class vote in every primary until he was the de facto nominee."

States Attorney's Office District of Connecticut |
October 7, 2010 |
FORMER MEMBER OF U.S. NAVY SENTENCED TO TWO YEARS IN FEDERAL PRISON FOR STEALING AND SELLING EQUIPMENT David B. Fein, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that WILFRED J. BOUTON, 31, of Bremerton, Washington, was sentenced today by Chief United States District Judge Alvin W. Thompson in Hartford to 24 months of imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, for stealing and selling sensitive military equipment. Judge Thompson also ordered BOUTON to pay restitution in the amount of $62,311.42. According to court documents and statements made in court, BOUTON was a gunner's mate, first class, in the United States Navy assigned to an explosive ordinance disposal unit at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in Oak Harbor, Washington. From 2007 to 2009, BOUTON stole gun sights and other gun-related accessories from his unit's armory, including Advanced Combat Optical Gunsights (ACOGs), rifle scopes, spotting scopes and range finders, which are primarily designed for military snipers and other precision shooters. BOUTON then sold the equipment over the internet using PayPal to co-defendant Danai Vira, also known as Arkradani Viranuvatti, 31, of Sanford, Florida. Vira re-sold the equipment to others, including Carl Williams, 40, of Savannah, Georgia, also a co-defendant. Williams sold the items to buyers in the United States and overseas. "Illegal weapons trafficking is a serious offense that endangers the lives of our military servicemen and servicewomen overseas," stated U.S. Attorney Fein. "This office and our federal law enforcement partners remain committed to investigating and prosecuting these crimes to ensure that sensitive military technology does not wind up in the wrong hands." An examination of PayPal records reveals at least 64 separate transactions between Bouton and Vira from September 2007 to June 2009. In total, Bouton was paid approximately $90,231 by Vira for the stolen equipment. Williams has admitted that, in November 2008, he shipped five of the stolen ACOGs to an individual in Germany. "This investigation typifies the Defense Criminal Investigative Service's dedication to proactively identify individuals and groups involved in the theft, sale and illegal export of sensitive U.S. military technology," stated Ed Bradley, Special Agent in Charge of the DCIS Northeast Field Office. "During a time of war, it is unconscionable that fellow Americans would steal from the nation's warfighters to line their own pockets." "Enforcing U.S. export laws is a critical component of ICE's national security mission and is a top priority of the agency," stated Bruce M. Foucart, special agent in charge of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office of Homeland Security Investigations in Boston. "This case will send a message to those individuals who attempt to profit by illegally exporting improper defense equipment. ICE will continue to aggressively pursue those who violate our laws." On July 22, 2009, BOUTON was arrested by agents with the Defense Criminal Investigative Service and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. BOUTON was discharged from the Navy on August 11. On October 19, 2009, BOUTON pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to traffic in stolen government property. Vira and Williams also have pleaded guilty to the same charge and were each sentenced previously to one day of imprisonment and three years of supervised release. In addition, Vira was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $30,000. This matter was investigated by the Defense Criminal Investigative Service of the United States Department of Defense, Immigration and Customs Enforcement of the United States Department of Homeland Security, and the Office of Export Enforcement of the United States Department of Commerce. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Edward Chang with the assistance of law student intern Nicholas Torrey. | |

Kick off 19:30 BST at Ballymena Showgrounds
Italy - Pittaccio 12',19',39' Giugliano 67'
England - Flint 70'
A hat-trick from Italy's Francesca Pittaccio ended England's hopes of progressing to the final stage of qualifying of the UEFA European Women's U17 Championship. Lois Fidler's young side came into the game on four points after drawing 0-0 with Northern Ireland on Monday and then beating Finland 5-1 on Thursday, but the Italians proved a different prospect and ran out 4-1 victors in Ballymena. Pittaccio opened the scoring in the twelfth minute and went on to register a first-half treble before Manuela Giugliano made it 4-0. Natasha Flint, who scored a hat-trick of her own against the Finns, pulled a goal back for the Young Lions late on but it proved a mere consolation as Northern Ireland topped the group and made it through to the Second Qualifying Round for the first ever time.

The Xander Series #2
Joey James Hook
larger image
Kay Doyle spends a lot of time feeling plain and unworthy. Due to his father's debilitating illness, Kay lives with his mom's best friend, Kaleb Xander, who raises Kay as his own. Unfortunately, Kaleb can't keep Kay from feeling unwanted by his family. In senior year, Kay meets Johnny Collins, an enigmatic rebel. Johnny yanks Kay out of his shell and he discovers his wild side. When Johnny pulls Kay into a dark, little world of sex and hardcore drugs, Kay has to find a way out. More importantly, he wants to help Johnny find salvation from the harsh reality he lives in.
CONTENT ADVISORY: As part of a series, this title contains a HFN ending.
Show Excerpt
Kay quickly learned what a typical Friday night at the Doyle household, settled off Fifth Street in the heart of Los Angeles, represented. His family would call it 'quiet' but that term was relative. His parents' house had so much ambient noise going on--the TV blaring, the old refrigerator humming in the background, the beeping of his father's medical equipment, on top of his mother, Sid, and his sister, Melody, chattering back and forth about the Steve Wilkos show--and the sheer amount of noise made him withdraw from the current scenario.
Kay's parents' house had a big, open living room with a blue and white floral patterned, overstuffed couch that fit three comfortably. A dark green armchair once stood proudly in the blank spot to the left of the couch, but had been relocated to the garage. Sam, Kay's father, now used the space for his wheelchair. Too many photos made the painted beige walls look congested; pictures of the family, Kay's and Sid's drawings, and, tucked in a small corner, Sam's law degree hid modestly among splashes of overt creativity.
His mother and twin sister were settled in the middle of the sofa with Kay sitting in the corner of the couch near a drafty window, drawing a small animation in the corner of his sketchbook while his father was still at physical therapy. He poked his tongue out from the corner of his lips, flipping the pages to perfect the movement of the little figure, and focused on anything but the boredom and faint sense of discontent that stirred inside him. His mother and sister were watching a trashy talk show that Kay had no interest in, but Sid insisted he stay in the living room, regardless. Mel always begged him to stick around, and even though she kept trying to get him engaged, it usually didn't work, but he did enjoy her sweet, bell-like laugh.
Melody had been an awkward kid with longer limbs than she'd known what to do with, but she'd grown up to be a pretty teenage girl. She had straight blonde hair that fell past her shoulder blades and she got their father's hazel-green eyes.
His mother and sister made a running commentary about the images passing on the TV screen in front of them, but Kay felt disconnected in the worst way. At the age of five, when his father had been diagnosed with late onset muscular dystrophy, he'd gone to live with his mother's best friend, Kaleb. Sid hadn't been able to take care of both twins and their father. Maybe that was why he didn't fit into the wholesome family dynamic. Growing up with Kaleb was different than growing up in a typical family environment. Kay kept glancing to the screen to see what all the fuss was about, but all he saw were people scrambling for a moment in the spotlight with their concerns.
Now, he had no doubt that these peoples' problems were legitimate, but the idea of needing to go on a talk show to fix them was cowardly to him. Maybe he didn't understand because he'd never had anything like that going on but he didn't see the appeal of 'help, my son's gay; what do I do?' There were much worse issues in the world.
"Mom, what if I were gay?" Kay asked when the show went to commercial.
Sid glanced in his direction, her brown eyes widening in surprise. His mother had a solid, stubborn jaw, high cheekbones, arching eyebrows and a sweet slant to her lips that softened her hard facial structure. Her eyes were framed by short lashes that were as dark as her natural hair color. She had a small and petite frame, proud posture, and a perpetually curious look on her face. Her pink hair was beginning to fade and Kay couldn't help but think that it was time for a re-dye. Her roots were starting to show and it was beginning to look tacky.
"Aren't you a bit young to be considering that?"
He'd entered his teens, though, so he was curious. Desperately so, in fact. "I dunno. Maybe. But still, what if I told you I was? What if Mel was? Would you make a big deal out of it like this lady is?" Kay put his sketchbook down and nodded to the TV.
"I didn't know you were paying attention, Kay!" Melody said happily, leaning her head on his shoulder and looking expectantly at their mother alongside Kay. "It's a good question, Mom." Sid looked at a loss for words for a moment, likely because she'd never actually stopped to consider it. "I... I don't know how I'd react, but I wouldn't do this," she said, motioning to the TV. "It's not like it's a bad thing to be gay. It'd catch me off-guard, especially you, Mel."
"Because I live with two gay guys and Mel doesn't, right?" Kay asked.
Sid stuttered over her answer as if he'd sounded offended. "Well... yes."
"Also because I'm always talking about boys and I never ever hear you talking about girls," Melody piped up. Kay laughed and hugged her around the shoulders affectionately. "I'd be okay if you were gay, bro."
"Thanks, Mel, but I don't think I am," Kay replied, though he honestly had no idea at this point--probably because he was too young to put a label on it. "I dunno. Maybe. Never really thought of it."
"I'm home!" Sam announced as he wheeled through the door.
Kay's family had put a ramp up the front steps and it clattered every time Sam arrived. The sound of his wheels clunking as he rolled over the threshold grated on Kay's nerves. His father's wheelchair always gave him such mixed feelings, and a fiery spark of resentment rose up at the sight. That had been what had fractured his family. Kay watched his mother and sister jump up to meet Sam. For his part, Kay smiled and waved awkwardly at his dad.
"Kay! Hey buddy, how are you?" Sam asked, guiding his highly-powered wheelchair to sit beside him. Not too long after he'd been diagnosed with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, he'd been confined to the wheelchair. Luckily, his speech hadn't been affected yet, but his posture had and it slumped, his shoulders sagging around the weight of his upper body and his spine curving under intense stress. He looked a thousand years old, lines creasing his face and feathering around his eyes. It was hard for Kay to look at him, because the grim and terrifying reality of what was happening paired with selfish resentment and hostility he felt toward being ostracized at such a young age created an explosive response that made his chest tighten like it would implode.

You shoulda seen the beer come flying outta my nose :)
You shoulda seen the beer come flying outta my nose :)
Let me guess.. The sony exec was Bruce Lee.
For those who know who makes sensors and how those places make them, it is not that tough to figure out who did does it for RED. I don't blame them for not wanting to tell, as frankly it is no one's business. I know where other camera's sensors are made. Who cares? These are companies that likely no one has ever heard of, yet they are the tops in their fields. RED gets its sensors from an excellent fabricator, and I'm sure that no one else has the RED design.
Mitch, that's a wise statement.
It's a factory in Asia that specializes in CMOS sensors. They make them for RED to RED's specs. Probably make them for Nikon or Canon, or both. Probably a name you would not recognize. Why does this matter?
I really don't understand this repeated questioning about who makes the sensor for Red. It seems pointless for the following reasons:
1. The design belongs to Red, so you can only buy one from Red.
2. If you are planning to design your own sensor, you should be knowledgeable enough to know where to have them made.
3. Even if you somehow got one from the foundry, how would you do the rest of the processing necessary to use it in a camera. (The additional packaging, that's most likely required.)
4. Once you've packaged it, are you then going to design the rest of the circuitry, circuit boards and write all the software to package the whole thing into your own camera?
5. If you want one for your Red, because the one you have was damaged, it clearly will be much easier and cheaper to get it replaced by Red.
6. Having designed both the hardware and software for image processing, I can suggest that it's a rather time consuming task, and if one already owns a Red, it might be a better use of one's time to use the camera to accomplish the task for which it was purchased.
I'm not trying to be mean or ugly, curiosity is a natural thing, but sometimes not very productive.
I think that finding who makes the Mysterium should be the plot for Indiana Jones V. Spielberg directing a movie about a washed up old guy searching for a kick arse digital sensor should make for some great laughs.
Actually I don't blame Spielberg for Indy IV, but rather Lucas... damn you George Lucas, damn you to hell. Stop ruining my childhood memories & stop relying on CGI so freakin much. Remember little things like plot & tension?
Wait... sorry to get off track... think I blacked out for a second there...

I'd like to thank you for reading the first in what will be a series of Patch posts discussing my candidacy for Lake County State's Attorney.
This November, voters will have the opportunity to select a new face to lead the State's Attorney office for the first time in 22 years. When I talk with voters all across the county, one message comes through time and time again. They want someone to fix our broken system. They are tired of what seems to be a never-ending cycle of missteps that have made our State's Attorney's office a national example of what can go wrong.
The central goal of my campaign is to rebuild a criminal justice system that is worthy of its citizens and of its many law enforcement professionals who are dedicated to doing what's right. To do this, we need a new perspective and new ideas that will transform the office into something we can be proud of, but more importantly, keep our communities safe.
For more than a year, I have outlined a detailed set of measures that would restore public trust. An agenda that focuses on protecting the public, not an insider culture.
A Blueprint for Justice that would:
· Create a Conviction Integrity Unit to review DNA evidence and prevent
wrongful convictions.
· Enhance the focus on victims and their rights by establishing a Sex Crimes Unit
· Demand accountability and transparency in an office that has isolated itself from the very people its supposed to protect.
For more information about the Blueprint for Justice, visit www.ChrisKennedy2012.com/issues
In the coming weeks, I'd like to continue this conversation by further discussing, in detail, the solutions needed to restore trust in this broken system, and why I need your vote in November.
Chris Kennedy is a Libertyville attorney and Democratic candidate for Lake County State's Attorney. For more information, visit www.chriskennedy2012.com.

I hear only good things about you from highly ethical & trustworthy people. It's a hopeful relief to know that change is coming to the Lake County State's Attorney. When you're near Buffalo Grove next, please let me know, as I've wanted to meet you in person to discuss a few issues in Lake County that I know will deeply concern you. Many have been reported and have been under evaluation, but you may not have had access to them. My schedule is open, so let me know! Glad you're running!
July 06, 2012 at 03:17 AM
Chris- when you are in Buffalo Grove, you may want to ask some of the almost 8000 residents who voted to recall Ms. Stone from her Trustee position how they'd feel about you palling around with her.
Just a suggestion, but I'd steer clear of her and her wacky agendas. BG residents are more than fed up with her antics, and associating yourself with her in any way will definitely alienate LOTS of BG voters. If you haven't already done so, go take a look at some of the videos of Stone in action before voters chased her from office mid-term. They are available on the BG website. Or read any of the scores of articles about her on the Patch or Daily Herald. Then you'll understand.
Good luck in the election.

Who in their right mind would take the word of a moniker over the first Recalled Elected Official in Illinois....in the most corrupt State in the Country? I'm so proud to have been Recalled and as you know, I never even fought it RC....as I would have had to have taken my eye off the landfill, which would have diverted my research on the Land & Lakes landfill. Obviously, I had done something unique. I told, and continue to tell, the truth regardless of your infamous & legendary attacks on me and my family! Get out of the way of good government already, RC. The tides are changing....thank goodness for Lake County and hopefully all of Illinois. The people deserve better....as do the nervous monikers, like yourself.

Stuart Tindall:
My Coalition for Safe Drinking Water & The Clean Water Act is patiently waiting to address the countless documents regarding WATER. We have repeatedly requested that BG President Jeff Braiman plan a Public Forum and/or Round Table gathering for the Public at Large to hear about all the documented information, for which we will present all data for the public to read. That is the only rational way to put closure to the mounting WATER concerns we've raised. Braiman has ignored our requests thus far, for whatever puzzling and irrational reasons. We will begin planning without him as we don't need his permission to exercise first amendment speech, though he and Buffalo Grove Officials have earned their infamous reputation for trying to stifle it, time and time again. Stu, after you learn the facts, only then you can determine what is rational and/or irrational behavior. As a fellow human being that cares about WATER, you should hold back on your opinion until you're educated before you evaluate anyone's mind, respectfully...including your own. If nothing else, my suggestions above are rational suggestions, wouldn't you agree?
In fact, Chris Kennedy may even be the State's Attorney that potentially may be evaluating the entire situation if our Coalition brings facts that are within his purview. Several of my "small yet mighty Coalition members" would likely be very comfortable with Chris Kennedy as our next Lake County State's Attorney.

If you'd like to know more about my Coalition before any further harsh and rash judgement, here is the Patch article that details WHO we are: "Meet the Citizens Who Are Part of My Very Small Coalition for Safe Drinking Water and the Clean Water Act" http://buffalogrove.patch.com/blog_posts/meet-the-citizens-who-are-part-of-my-very-small-coalition-for-safe-drinking-water-and-the-clean-water-act
After you've clicked on the many educational links on my article above and have perused the Internet to learn even more about me and my fellow Human Rights Coalition & Activists, I'd like to hear your educated comment. Stu, there's no crime in admitting you're wrong in life...though they say that admitting one is wrong is the hardest thing to do. I'm eager to hear your next comment. We all are.

WOW- talk about being delusional. Must be the heat, I guess. First, you wear your recall like a badge of honor. Who in their right mind would be proud of being so lousy as a Trustee that 8000 voters recalled them? You're not even smart enough to realize how shameful it is to be chased from office by almost 8000 of your friends and neighbors.
Then you continue to brag about your nonsensical water coalition, even after your silly concerns were refuted several governing bodies who have responsibility for environmental issues. You also continue to dog Braiman and the village board about it, even though you've been told repeatedly that the village has no jurisdiction on environmental issues.
You continue to do this because you have a personal ax to grind with the board, and you know that if you show up at board meetings you'll get your face on TV and in the papers, which is all you really want. Why have the IEPA and other governing bodies ignored you? Gee, let's see if we can take a wild guess.
And about that small coalition. We've only heard from you and your wacky co-founder from Lincolnshire. The other two (which if my math is correct, amounts to half of your coalition) have said and done NOTHING publicly. Must be too embarrassed to be associated with you.
And you are the queen of not admitting when you're wrong. How else could you explain your bragging about the recall or the countless mistakes, missteps and unruly behavior that led up to it?
July 06, 2012 at 06:04 PM
And a note to Chris Kennedy... her comments today should easily confirm what I said about her in my previous post. No need to thank me for the heads up- consider it a contribution to your campaign.

RelentlessCritic, Grand High..., Stuart, & past, present and future Masks: "Hai messo il piede in bocca". Also, the IEPA, US EPA Region 5, USEPA, AG, etc...have hardly ignored me. See you all at the Round Table or Public Forum coming soon. Brenda Weis, myself and if Kitty & Kevin "Kurth Lampe" are in Illinois, I'm sure they'll be there! I'll ask my friend Hotel Rwanda's Paul Rusesabagina to join.

Also, keep an eye on any pictures or documents that I have posted above and may have time to post more, if the sun stops shining! Thankfully, I've got everything from day #1 backed up in many places so that many other good guys also have them or full access to them. It really felt like a movie at times....a bad one that is finally over. And yes, I wear my Recall "badge of honor" with extreme pride, as I am the only elected official in Illinois to ever have been recalled, because I have integrity and tell the truth. I hope Chris wins the election and has the chance to take his time and look over what many Officials outside of Buffalo Grove already have.

Why do you keep posting links to those pictures? They PROVE nothing! Name dropping gets you nowhere until they show up or make a statement in your favor.

I told you. Lisa is essentially the leader of a cult. Feigning power and connection is how she fools herself into thinking that she is the sole virtuous person in the sin-hole that is Buffalo Grove. Any threat to her world-view is met with outrage and threats of legal retaliation. It's how Scientology and the Westboro Baptists work and she is moving their techniques to our home town.
Sadly there is little to be done about it, since as Americans we value free (and incredibly stupid) speech. In turn though, we have to make sure that everyone who does come into contact with Lisa Stone knows that she and her groupies do not represent the majority of people here. Denounce her cult often and loudly, and you can mitigate the effects of her insanity.
Lisa Stone
July 06, 2012 at 09:29 PM
If you go to my 2009 election website you can read about my cult or groupie background, as you strangely put it. Electlisastone.com. Aside from being the PTO President while simultaneously the PTO Vice-President at another school (my sons are almost 4 years apart), I happened to have taken being a person/human quite seriously in life. You'll see video clips of 4 of our community past and present leaders speaking to the public on why I'd be a great Trustee and am needed in Buffalo Grove "politics". As we all know, the only proven leader that stood strong and never abandoned me is State Representative Sidney Mathias, as he is a man of honor, unlike the other 3 boys that cut and run the moment they had to be responsible and risk political retribution. I wonder how they like me now? Shame on Stolman, Rubin and Hartstein for demonstrating their lack of truth, integrity & leadership. I have no regrets having been the lead campaigner for Sid Mathias in the 90's when he unseated incumbent Salvi, which Sid thanked me continuously since Springfield and legend has it, that the 400 of the 600 signatures Sid needed kicked "butt" and then I began really working & won him the seat. I will always work hard to keep Sid in office of all of us. He is Republican and I'm more of a Democrat, but it makes no difference to me....it's hard to find good men or women in government these days. I have regret for campaigning for Rubin & Stolman. I NEVER campaigned for Hartstein!

Stuart & C-Dub:
Later I'll try to post pictures that demonstrate that I'm anything but a name dropper. I could have posted so many pictures and documents that would have proven my position was solid in 2011. I still had work to do and as you've noticed, I take pride in my work. Why do something twice? Just work hard the first time! My kids know that too....and they're always safe with me when they do make mistakes in life, as all kids do.
Anyway....I've always thought if the world didn't have religion and power it would be a much better place. The references you make above are intense. Truly you don't me well enough to understand how I roll. I do believe in G-d, and I hope I'm right.....whether it's a she (JK) or not is yet to be known by us mortals, but the energy that makes up G-d, I believe is just one and not like the Supreme Court who represents us....but rather is made up of all of us, no religion, no color, no status....only goodness. It is man's free will that gets in our way, which as we've sadly witnessed throughout history, is not always of great integrity and humanity.
I haven't had a perfect life and I'm glad for it, as I have depth, purpose and intention in my life. I respect your beliefs & we can agree to disagree on anything, and I'll shake hands at the end....so long as you don't believe in genocide of human beings. (Other than Gacy & Dahmer proof, who then deserve torture) I simply exercise my voice, opinion & conviction in MY life.... Be nice.
July 07, 2012 at 12:41 AM
They bailed on you because you turned out to be an incompetent boob and they didn't want their reputations tarnished by any further association with you. Someone in your little group should really pull you aside and explain that being recalled is NOTHING to be proud of- especially when an overwhelming majority of voters chased you out. The vote wasn't even close.
So every time you proudly brag about being the only politician ever to be recalled in Illinois, it simply confirms what those 8000 voters already knew- you are completely clueless and disconnected from reality. That is simply the only explanation. BG voters gave you the rare opportunity to represent them, and you blew it so badly they yanked you out of office after only 14 months. Yet you continue to blame other people for your failure and have never apologized for the chaos you created- and still attempt to create.
Despite what you may believe, 8000 voters can't be wrong- but one misguided individual without a shred of self- awareness certainly can be. Every time you try to defend yourself, you make us feel good that we made the right choice about you.
Good luck getting anyone to pay attention to you- elected officials or otherwise. You have proven time and time again that you are so far off base that people will never find you credible. At this point, there are few people who would even throw a bucket of tainted water on you if your hair was on fire.
July 07, 2012 at 12:54 AM
Chris- how unfortunate that she has hijacked your posting and made it all about herself. She's done it before and she'll do it again. Sorry you had to learn this the hard way- you were just trying to be nice to her and this is what you get. Any time she sees an opportunity to brag about herself, she'll do it. I'm just sorry you were victimized by it.
I'm surprised she hasn't mentioned heroin, pit bulls or her humanitarian children yet, but that will come soon I'm sure. It also shouldn't be long before her apologist husband gets on here to try to legitimize her misdeeds, followed shortly thereafter by her Flying Monkey Erica who blindly defends her and clearly can't think for herself.
If you want a blueprint for how NOT to behave as an elected official, familiarize yourself with Ms. Stone's infamous 14 months as a bg trustee, then do the exact opposite of what she did and you'll be fine.
July 07, 2012 at 01:03 AM
You forgot to mention about the fact that she called people advocates for pedophilia because she tried to lure one to break his court order!

Regarding my friend & Lake County Vernon Township Safe Drinking Water and Clean Water Act Coalition Co-Founder, Lincolnshire longtime resident, Brenda Weis, please read about Brenda before you disrespect a 73 year old woman, a University of Michigan-Science Teacher. She takes great risk starting way back in the 70's & 80's and still does. Her hard work resulted in the water testing company going to jail in addition to the Lincolnshire Engineer getting fired (see story)! Then, consider apologizing since you have once again put your foot in your mouth. Instead, why not thank Brenda for doing all that she did and continues to do, which happens to be "having" your rude, ungrateful back... for FREE as our Human Rights Activist Group doesn't make a penny for all of our hard work! "Hai messo il piede in bocca"
"Stone, Coalition Will Take on 'Goliath'"
PS- I simply posted a comment & RC surfaces from his dark corner. Obviously, the "light" that I bring somehow sheds light on you, RC. Given that States' Attorney's wield serious power, I hope that Chris wins, for if he does, your ip address is likely as good as "nailed". How do you like them apples, RC? Now, stop stalking me on the comment boards and clean up your act, so to speak. I hope that BGPD is listening to yet another "fire" inference....this time not on Navajo Trail. Chris, they're scary.
July 07, 2012 at 05:00 PM
I could not care less about your coalition croney and the last thing in the world I would want is for her- or you- to have my back.
I do find it funny that you are so willing to call the ip police on someone who speaks the truth about you. Or is your truth the only truth that exists? You really love that First Amendment as long as it works for you. If you don't like the scrutiny, don't put yourself in the public eye, say and do controversial things and criticize other people. You obviously can dish it out but can't take it.
I am not stalking you, so don't flatter yourself. I am simply fulfilling my obligation and public duty as a Community Watchdog Watchdog. I will continue to call you out every time you waste taxpayer money, disrupt village business and waste local and state resources ( which includes the legal and police systems, BTW) with your silly non-causes and personal agendas, or make vague, baseless insinuations and allegations that have never been proved.
As a Community Watchdog Watchdog, my role is to ensure that people don't fall for the nonsensical tripe you are continuously pushing and to hold you accountable for your words and actions. I would do the same for any other Community Watchdog that acted like you. Think of it as me having your rude, ungrateful back. You should really be thanking ME for caring so much about our community. So I am willing to accept your apology as soon as you take your foot out of your mouth.
July 12, 2012 at 03:52 AM
This absurd conversation takes away from the article by Chris Kennedy for Lake County States Attorney. Write them somewhere else!!!!
Chris will make an excellent States Attorney. He owes no one any favors. He is not part of the entrenched States Attorney's office. Integrity is the one word we all hear often about Chris Kennedy.

Yep. Pretty impressive the way you hijacked this thread and wallpapered it, and about 20 other Patch articles with documents about YOURSELF. Too bad they have nothing to do with anything important.
But nice to see you demonstrating that world-class arrogance and self-centeredness. What are you going to post next- baby pictures? Results of your cholesterol tests? Your 3rd grade spelling bee fourth place award? Your "You could already be a winner" letter from Ed McMahon and Pubisher's Clearing House?

Almost one year later, the 9-1-1 tapes from the Dec. 14, 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School have been released.

Items Checked Out in My Account
The Items Checked Out section lists the following information for each item:
- Title (including author, title, location, and call number)
- Item Type (can be a clue as to why item cannot be renewed)
- Item Status
The Status information includes:
- Whether the item was Charged (checked out for the first time)
- Whether the item has been Renewed
- Due date
- Whether the item has been Recalled
With Recalled items, the new due date displays first followed by the last previous pre-recall due date in parenthesis. This can be confusing if the pre-recall due date reflects that the item was already overdue or soon to be overdue at the time the recall was placed. See Recalling Library Materials for additional information.
