I worked at Altria full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – Pay is fair + Perks+ Benefits. The right manager could make all the difference
Cons – Advancement structure. The job can become somewhat mundane and lack fun or a challenge. corporate politics is HUGE...... must be able to play the game to stay afloat
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

A great course will be made even greater by lengthening the 6.5 mile loop from
last year to a 10 mile loop. The extra 3.5 miles consists of some great new
trails built along the Charles River and the surrounding wetlands, a new
section of the Bay Circuit Trail system and all very runnable. The lengthening
of the loop to an even 10 miles has inspired us to change the format of the
race from a 6 and 12 hour race to a 50 mile (5 loops) and a 50K (3 loops plus a
little) race.
Go here for course trail map: http://www.trailanimals.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/TARC-Summer-Classic-Course.pdf
Start time for both races distances is 7:00 am. There will be a mandatory 6:45 am pre-race briefing. Two choices: 50K or 50M. The course starts/finishes at Holt Pond parking lot on Noon Hill Road in Medfield, MA, winding through Noon Hill Reservation. A beautiful but challenging circuit consisting of mostly single track trail with varied terrain. With a dirt road into the starting area, no road crossings, and very few house sightings during the run, you will truly feel like you're running in the wilderness, not in a suburb about 15 miles from Boston! This race is an oasis in a month that is a virtual desert with respect to trail race options in New England and is perfectly positioned for those training for a late summer or fall trail ultra. The number of runners will be limited to 40 for both races combined so act fast if you want to take part. Of your $25 entry fee, $9 will be donated to the Trustees of the Reservation, the not-for-profit organization that owns and maintains the reservation. The total contribution from all runners will be matched by a personal donation to the Trustees from the race director! THERE ARE NO REFUNDS, NO TRANSFERS AND NO RACE DAY REGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT.

Course Description
The starting line for the run is by the lake near the large pines west of the Lake Picnic Area in Tuckahoe State Park. The course proceeds along the lake to the comfort station, and then enters the physical fitness trail that winds through the pinewoods for two miles and emerges on the east edge of the parking lot.
The bike rack will be on the east side of the parking lot. (All bikes must be in the rack area and will be monitored by park staff from 7:30 a.m. until the conclusion of the awards ceremony.) Runners will then mount their bicycles, ride to the parking lot entrance, turn right onto Crouse Mill Road and proceed in a clockwise loop, taking each first right turn until they return to the bike rack.
From this point, race participants will proceed through the parking lot and down the paved service road towards the lake shoreline where their canoe will be waiting for them. Park personnel will be available to provide assistance in launching canoes. The canoe leg of the race is marked with orange buoys. The finish line is near the large pines in the southeast corner of the lake.
Turns and changes in the run will be marked. It is recommended that all first-time participants visit the race site prior to the event in order to familiarize themselves with the triathlon course. There will be a water station at the end of the run, bike, and at the finish line.
- Participants will be at starting area at 7:45 a.m. for a pre-race meeting. Canoes and bicycles must be in place by 7:30 a.m.
- Because of the narrowness of the trail through the woods, runners should cooperate in reducing the width of the pack by the time they enter the woods. On the physical fitness trail, all runners will make room for passing at the call of "track" or equivalent.
- Drafting is not allowed on the bike course except by team members.
- Participants will have assistance carrying their canoe to the water by designated volunteers. Only participants may launch canoes.
- Inadvertent contact with other participants should be avoided but disqualifying fouls will only be called for apparent willful interference with others. Protest of willful interference may be made at the end of the race.
- All participants will wear a shirt and keep their assigned number pinned to the front of it. The number must be displayed clearly.
- All types and sizes of canoes may be used. The park staff will decide doubtful cases. Approved PFDs must be in the possession of each participant. Only single blade paddles may be used.
- The race will be held rain or shine, but will be delayed for thunderstorms, extreme fog or high winds. If these should develop during the race, it will end with the bicycle leg.
- Participants can park in the Lake Picnic Area parking lot; however once the race gets underway, no cars will be allowed to exit or enter the parking lot until it has ended. Parking is also available on the south side of Crouse Mill Pond. The Lake Picnic Area will be closed after 7:30 a.m.
- Bicycle helmets are required to be worn by all participants.
The Tuckahoe Triathlon is open to individuals aged 10 and older who are capable of sustained exercise. Teams of a male and female may enter or teams of parent/child.
Call the Tuckahoe State Park office at (410) 820-1668 to request a registration form or print the online form and mail it in. Registration information includes name, address, telephone number, age, sex and if team or single entry – please be sure to include all requested information.
A service charge of $20 will be due for registration in advance; $30 for teams of two.
Participants are responsible for supplying bicycles and canoes; however, a limited number of canoes are available by reservation for an extra charge of $5.
All participants will receive a Tuckahoe Triathlon T-shirt after participating in the event.
First and second place plaques will be awarded for each of the following divisions:
- Male (under 40)
- Female (under 40)
- Male (over 40)
- Female (over 40)
- Adult Doubles (under 40)
- Adult Doubles (over 40)
- Parent/Child – (child must be between the ages of 10-15)
Awards will not be given out until all contestants have completed the course.
This course provides several nice vantage spots for spectators. The beginning of each leg is a short distance from the parking lot. The berm on the south shore of the lake is an excellent observation point for the whole canoe course and the finish will be right off the shore.
Volunteers are needed to prepare the course, to run water stations, to watch short cuts on running course, to direct traffic at parking lot entrance, guard bicycles, and to monitor turns. If you have family or friends that will be available to volunteer, please contact Debbie McNeil at the park office - (410) 820-1668.

Struggling to stay negative
Part of knowing yourself means working out the things, or perhaps the thing, you are good at. This isn't always simple and it may require a very open mind. Knowing yourself also entails working out the things you are not good at. This is generally a lot easier. In fact, if you're having any trouble with this bit it's time to tell your mum you're moving out.
One of my strengths is identifying the negative side to any person, place, animal or thing. I am like a falcon; where others see a sea of golden wheat, I will see the rat. No field is too wide or densely planted.
Not only can I zero in on the negative like a raptor, I use what I find sustainably: maximising the mileage I get from each negative detail and regularly reusing information.
As the falcon inspires a certain awe, so too my negativity has inspired a certain awe in our home - to the point where my partner is constantly commenting on it.
Perhaps I would have preferred to be really good at line dancing or harness racing, but, as my kid's kinder assistant says, "you get what you get and you don't get upset." So I'm not complaining, notwithstanding that complaining is in fact another particular strength.
The word "master" is bandied about a lot. But over time my practice of negativity had reached a level where it would in fact be reasonable to say I was a master.
If your strength is perspicacity, or just reading verbs, you will have noticed me use the word "was". And this is because, in a most unsettling turn of events, my negativity has recently been shaken to its very foundations.
Where would such a disturbing occurrence take place? Well, rest assured, not on the safe shores of Terra Australis. This extreme personality event took place on a verdant knoll belonging to Fiji. It was like the coup all over again – I was surrounded and change was rammed down my throat.
DFAT's site has no warning and travel agents, despite their months of training, are completely uninformed about the risks. No one warns you that trying to maintain the practice of negativity in Fiji is like trying to arrange a buck's night in Kabul, or find someone to wag school with you in China.
In a state of complete ignorance of these risks I disembarked on the island. As I sidestepped random livestock to exit the landing paddock little did I realise I had effectively cut off my air supply.
It started almost immediately – a relentless succession of unprovoked acts of warmth. The local population was incorrigibly friendly and particularly susceptible to bouts of uncontrolled good humour. Whichever direction one turned it was one happy, open face after another. Clearly it was going to take a person of uncommon negativity to be able to see through all this – I refocused.
The warm weather, lush vegetation, pristine seas and fresh tropical food all took their toll though - collectively assaulting my ability to concentrate. The surreptitious removal of schedules, timepieces and information technology further confounded the situation. I knew there had to be something negative in my midst but I just had to have a nap and finish my fruit plate before I could work it out.
Back home I was accustomed to a supportive community of like-minded individuals, willing to suckle side by side on society's breast, like so many little piglets, swallowing the stream of pretensions, vanities and anxieties that she feeds us. Over there I was confronted by people engaged in a case of stubborn nipple refusal. They couldn't have sourced a handmade, organic French soap, neon runners or a teeth-whitening service if their national security depended on it – and they simply didn't care.
Over the coming days I would apply my full powers to analyse every part of my experience there. To scan the stream of islanders I encountered for an ulterior motive, a note of falsity, a skerrick of surliness but to no avail. It was with mounting anxiety that I found myself scrabbling for something to hold on to, something to regain my footing and maintain my outlook. I failed.
So if you're a chipper little unit, inclined to mirth and optimism and generally content with your lot, you'll fit right in – though whether or not you actually need a holiday is debatable. If you err toward the uptight or you are a fellow minus man – you've been warned.

I like how positive you are concerning other people and your interactions with them. I read your article and took a horse tablet sized grain of salt.

I'm like that when I watch Parliament Question Time !
acotrel says:
'Sad you cant see the positives '
It seems to be a common complaint. I seriously believe there is widespread psychological depression amongst our population, particularly amongst the young. I believe it is caused by 'the cult of the individual' - there is no sense of belonging, and pride in the tribe. The violent expression of their rage and frustration when they get on the piss, is a worry !
gobsmack says:
Fiji is also blessed with a dictator so the Fijians don't have to endure the unrelenting negativity of partisan politics.
It's almost impossible to comment on this site without some knob making a tenuous link to their pet hate.
subotic says:
Struggling to stay negative?
Hell. I feed off my anger & negativity like a monster. I'd be lost without it!
I mean, could you imagine my comments without my negativity? I know, rite…
Like, seriously, people who are deliriously happy all the time scare the crap outta me. That shit ain't normal. Like born again Christians. Nobody, and I mean no normal person, struts around all day like that.
Punters Pal says:
Great work, Amy. I just got back from Fiji as well, spent a week there as a family. Left our phones in Australia, so we had no access to our e-mails and internet for a week. It was really great, one of the most relaxing holidays ever.
Most locals had nothing bad to say about political situation either. Apprently the previous government was very corrupt and it is now getting cleaned up.
Fiji bitter by the pool - heaven.
CorBlimey says:
Amy, don't struggle to stay negative. Go have a chat to SSR - he's like the Jedi Master of Negativity. He'll sort you out.
Susan says:
Interesting how we all see this piece.
What I read was…I will talk about myself first and imply I am super negative thus if any of you find fault with my piece I already have my reaction covered. I don't tend to read the press so I didn't know about any problems in Fiji unlike many other Aussies. I am used to hand-made French soap and various other niceties but I discovered that not having them was not as bad as I thought. Fiji is actually quite cool.
PhoenixGirl says:
I recently watch a doco "SAS Heroes: Last Stand In Oman"
In this doco there are two hero's whose bravery and heart is hard to find a match. These two were Fijians.
It is clear that the world has a lot to learn from Fiji and its amazing people.
Zeta says:
Step One: Find out your Qantas flight is code sharing with Air Pacific.
Qantas has its problems, granted. But I persist with their slightly shabbier planes, their weak rewards program, their ridiculously expensive business class (it's 40 per cent more than business class on any other carrier) for just one reason – efficiency. Qantas is a little slice of Germany over our lazy Australian skies. The staff are always older, quicker, and less likely to chit chat with Football trips than the younger, stupider hostesses on other airlines.
So there's nothing more jarring than finding out you're flying Air Pacific instead. Don't get me wrong, the staff are lovely people, but that's about it. Being a lovely person does not get me a hot towel, it gets me angry, because I'm watching you smile and high five every f***ing passenger while I am still sans hot towel. You know what else? They don't even have hot towels on Air Pacific.
Step Two: Fly to Suva.
The Fijians are masters of misdirection. Look it up – US Navy Seals actually learn the tactics of Fijian warfare. Nowhere is this more obvious than their two airports. Tourists are funnelled by travel agents into Nadi Airport, sure, it's about as well appointed as Hobart 'International' but it's where they deploy their absolute ace people. Smiling, happy Fijians barking 'Bula!' at every man woman and child within range.
Suva is a different story. Suva is the other half of the country they don't like to tell you about. A dystopic nightmare of failed planning policies, poverty, colonial hold over corruption, crime – and some of the cheapest methamphetamine you'll have offered to you, repeatedly, between the cab rank and your hotel.
Step Three: Watch Fiji TV
If, like most tourists, you get off your plane in Nadi, stay a couple of nights on Denarau and then get shuttled off to some predominantly white, Australian owned island resorts you could be forgiven for thinking that Fiji is one of the nicest dictatorships since the reign of Tarquin the Bro King. Watching Fiji TV news spoils this fantasy. Imagine if the ABC never ran a grab from Tony Abbott. Or the Greens for that matter. Chinese news at least has the illusory gloss of integrity. Fijian news doesn't. Just an endless parade of old men in uniforms telling the country how safe and prosperous they are.
Step Four: Visit an Indian community.
It's easy to forget that only half the country are happy, smiling Fijians with fuzzy hair and big smiles for the tourists. The other half of the country are a poverty stricken underclass of Indians who can't vote, can't own property, can't own their own businesses and are basically considered untermensch by the Fijian ruling elite. They live in villages that are rented to them by prosperous, neighbouring Fijian villages in conditions not dissimilar to some of the worse parts of India. They don't make any clay trinkets to sell you, and they don't get healthy kick backs from Hilton and Sheraton in return for land. They live in the dirt and work their fingers to the bone driving cabs and cleaning your hotel rooms for lower pay than full blooded Fijians.
Step Five: Ask a Fijian what their ancestors believed in.
The Fijians are only too happy to sell you ornate and intricate reproductions of their ancient culture, but just try asking one of them exactly what that culture was. Never have I ever seen a culture so absolutely white washed by Christianity. Evangelical missionaries have pretty much stamped out one of the richest, proudest cultures in the Pacific and replaced it with a naked white man pinned to a cross. Our Indigenous Australians might have it a lot harder than the Fijians, but at least they managed to hold onto a 40,000 year old oral history and language. The Fijians have lost that, and replaced it with a cringing interpretation of every one's favourite sky ghost.
If that doesn't maintain your cynicism, nothing will.
the cynic says:
Step seven: You have to fly back to Aussie on Air Pacfic yet again and then be greeted by a bloody happy smiling Indian Immigration clerk in a turban welcoming you back to your own country after enduring a week of ever smiling Fijians.

"The hardest thing is coming up with the title of my major," Trawick, 19, told Ruth De Jesus, associate dean of intercultural advancement at Gettysburg College. The sophomore from southwest Philadelphia is eyeing a mix of developmental psychology and education.
First-generation graduates from Philadelphia public high schools like Trawick once faced much bigger obstacles: How to get into college, how to afford it and, once among the largely white student bodies, how to fit in.
But with a boost from Philadelphia Futures, a nonprofit that helps inner-city students get into and through college, Trawick is on a free ride at the school. She's maintaining a 3.0-plus grade point average—and even feeling comfortable enough to branch out and design her own major.
"Whatever you come up with," De Jesus advised, "my only recommendation is don't fall in love with it because it might change."
Trawick meets with De Jesus every week to discuss academic, social, personal, and financial issues. At the same time, Futures continues to help, too—supporting students financially, academically and personally from ninth grade through college graduation.
Leaders of both institutions met recently in the city to celebrate the partnership's 12th anniversary. It was the first of its kind and a pioneer nationally.
"How risky this was for everybody," reflected Joan Mazzotti, Philadelphia Futures' executive director.
Of the 48 students who have enrolled at Gettysburg since 2001, nearly three-quarters have either graduated or are still enrolled, Mazzotti said. That statistic looks even stronger when stacked against recent Philadelphia School District numbers:
About 64 percent of high school students graduate within six years.
Only 36 percent of graduates enroll in college.
Only 10 percent finish college within six years of high school graduation, according to National Student Clearinghouse data.
Philadelphia Futures has since partnered with six other colleges—Dickinson, Drexel, Lafayette, Arcadia, Pennsylvania State University and Temple. Overall, 82 percent of the 180 students have graduated or remained enrolled, Mazzotti said.
Students also attend non-partnership colleges. Their retention rate, she said, is 68 percent.
Collectively, the partner colleges and the Brook J. Lenfest Foundation, which is sponsoring students at Penn State and Temple, have contributed $16.8 million in scholarship and grant aid. The colleges provide varying financial support from meeting full needs to making sure students don't have to borrow more than $2,500 a year, Mazzotti said.
Gettysburg, a private liberal arts college that accepts 41 percent of applicants, meets full need—worth $56,820 a year in tuition and room and board.
"It's the right thing to do," said Janet Morgan Riggs, president of Gettysburg College. "We don't want to close our doors to students who have great potential but not the right financial wherewithal. And we benefit, too. ... We're preparing students for personal lives and professional lives in a diverse world."
If it weren't for the program, Laurty Trawick said, his daughter likely would not be in college, even though Ashley graduated fourth in her class from Motivation High School with a 3.81 GPA.
"We didn't have the funds to send her," said Trawick, a retired city trash truck driver.
The program looks for students with academic potential and grit, Mazzotti said. In high school, Futures provides students with weekly sessions on study skills, SAT preparation, essay writing and other topics. Each student has an adult mentor. Colleges host the students for summer programs.
For college, students receive a $6,000 stipend for books and expenses.
Trawick was planning on attending a state school until Futures introduced her to Gettysburg. The Civil War-era brick and white-painted buildings charmed her. She liked the small classes—the professor/student ratio is 10-1. But what really sold her was the scholarship.
"I was like, 'Wow, a full ride. This will really make my family happy,'" she said.
Trawick and other students in the program said they found the new environments challenging.
"Without Futures, I don't think I would have survived here at Gettysburg," said Yulaikis Garcia, 21, a senior who graduated from Edison High.
Garcia, a Latin American studies and Spanish major, dropped a class in the first semester, grappled with writing long papers, and struggled to strike a balance between studies and her social life.
"I was able to come back and do well the rest of my years here," said Garcia, daughter of a construction worker and housekeeper. She plans to join the Peace Corps and go into community development.
Vasiljon Cobo, 21, a senior who was born in Albania, says he keeps in mind the wisdom imparted early on by H. Pete Curry Jr., dean of Gettyburg's office of intercultural advancement: "It's not can you do the work. It's will you do the work."
Cobo has earned as many As as Bs.
Seven of the 28 Futures graduates at Gettysburg finished with B averages or higher, and several others were on the cusp.
Of the 13 who did not graduate, Curry said, in most cases the reason was "a strong pull home, a family thing that they find overwhelming."
Students have to learn to make their way socially in an environment that is starkly different from their neighborhoods.
"I can remember a presentation we made at Edison High School," Mazzotti said. "I could have been saying to those parents that we want to send your kids to the moon."
It took Trawick a semester to feel comfortable. She joined the Black Student Union and the gospel choir, as did Garcia. Cobo tutors and sings in the gospel choir. He also went to Spain to study last spring. The staffs from Gettysburg and Futures work together to troubleshoot problems. Futures sheds light on a student's history and family circumstances.
"Pete has me on speed dial," Mazzotti said of Curry. "There are land mines and you never know when one is going to go off."
The partnership has won the support of prominent current and former members of Gettysburg's board of trustees, including Bruce Gordon, former head of the NAACP and a 1968 Gettysburg grad. He was the only African American in his class at Gettysburg and one of only three on campus.
"It was a very challenging experience, to say the least," said Gordon, a Camden native who made his career in telecommunications. "On more than one occasion, I questioned whether I wanted to continue."
As a board member, he wanted to make sure students of color are common on campus. Gettysburg's minority enrollment has grown to about 13 percent, up from about 5 percent since 2001.
"That's not just because I thought it would be in the best interest of people of color," Gordon said. "I thought the majority population would have a much better education if they were in a mixed environment."
Futures and Gettysburg cite the accomplishments of their graduates.
Vincent Costello, '07, co-founded the first black fraternity on campus. He went on to get his master's in social work from Bryn Mawr and now works at a mental health and drug/alcohol rehabilitation program.
Jennifer Ramirez, 27, '08, also earned her master's and now is an insurance specialist for the Social Security Administration in Philadelphia.
She recently joined Gettysburg's alumni board of directors, along with Unique Patterson, '10, who works as a college admission counselor at Lebanon Valley College. Patterson said her work had opened her eyes to the vast differences in the quality of high schools across the nation and the challenges that inner-city students face.
"There are so many students out there with potential that can do so many great things on any campus they go on to," she said. "They just need that extra support."

Sgt. Josh Doggrell said a man called police at 5:45 p.m. saying he heard eight shots fired near his apartment on the 300 block of Elm Street. Doggrell said the man told police he did not see anyone firing the gunshots and was unsure of the direction the shots came from. Doggrell said the caller later noticed a bullet hole in the screen door of his apartment.
"The officers who responded to the call spoke with a neighbor who also said she heard the shots," Doggrell said.
No injuries were reported, Doggrell said. Police searched the area for bullets and shell casings, but recovered none.
The sergeant said police had no suspects and were still investigating the incident. A suspect would likely face felony charges of discharging a firearm into an occupied building, according to a police report.

Fargo Man Charged with Killing Wife; Bail Set at $1 MillionRonald Rogers of Fargo, 46, is being held on $1 million bail in the Cass County Jail on charges he murdered his wife Tuesday night.
FARGO – Ronald Rogers of Fargo, 46, is being held on $1 million bail in the Cass County Jail on charges he murdered his wife Tuesday night.
Police said the original call to the couple's home at 3255 30th Ave. S. came in as a suicide by gunshot to the head of Elizabeth Rogers, 40. Police said the couple were the only two people at home at the time.
The preliminary investigation indicated that the pair were arguing and that Elizabeth Rogers fired the gun at her husband, who tried to take it away from her and failed. The initial report said she then turned the gun on herself.
Ronald Rogers was taken into custody about 5 a.m. Friday and booked into the Cass County Jail at 5:30 a.m. on murder charges.
Police Chief Keith Ternes said that "a result of some fairly exhaustive forensics," including scene reconstruction and an autopsy, investigators found inconsistencies in the information Rogers gave them.
Cass County State's Attorney Birch Burdick said the state asked for $1 million bail on Rogers in part because of the nature of the charges against him Burdick said the charges " can mean up to a life sentence without parole, which can give that person an incentive to flee."
He also said Rogers has not lived in the Fargo area long, and doesn't appear to have any strong ties to the community.
Burdick would not comment on who made the original 911 call, identifying Elizabeth Rogers' death as a suicide. He said the state doesn't ordinarily comment on matters of evidence in pending cases.
Police said they found no evidence of pre-existing domestic violence or domestic abuse by Ronald Rogers. Burdick said Rogers is expected to make an appearance in Cass County District Court on formal charges of felony Class AA murder Monday morning.

Cheaha Rescue is in the process of finishing a contract to take over Calhoun County Animal Control. The Calhoun County Commission last month approved signing the contract when in final form.
Jane Cunningham, Cheaha's founder, said the move is overdue after a series of conflicts between the previous Animal Control Advisory Board and different animal rescue groups led many residents to question what's going on at the county's animal shelter.
"I just think we weren't getting the answers we wanted," Cunningham said about growing frustration with the county's Animal Control Advisory Board.
Cunningham founded Cheaha Rescue after several meetings earlier this year with the Calhoun County Commission about problems with the previous board, which the commission established in 2012. Cunningham said that during those meetings, the commission decided giving control of the shelter to a nonprofit group was the best way to save the county money.
"We're able to go and get donations and grants, and things the commission can't do," Cunningham said. "It's a model that other cities have adopted, and it's been beneficial for everyone."
Cunningham said the biggest change she wants to bring to County Animal Control is a better relationship with the public. Good or bad, she said, she'd like for residents to know how many animals are euthanized, and for residents to know exactly what animals are being rescued, and which aren't.
"If people see how many animals are being euthanized and can see their faces that can make a big difference," Cunningham said. "We just want to be open."
Attorney Tom Wright, another member of the board, said it's the goal for the facility to get enough rescuers to essentially become a no-kill shelter.
"I kept hearing from the previous board that it's impossible to be a no-kill shelter," Wright said. "That's not right to me, because that should be your goal. That's what we want to work towards."
Cunningham said the group also wants to establish an adoption facility in Oxford that is more inviting and friendly for residents, as well as establish educational programs about the importance of spaying and neutering pets to keep stray populations down.
Cheaha Rescue's board includes Cunningham, Wright, Calhoun County District Attorney Brian McVeigh, Calhoun County Sheriff Larry Amerson, Oxford police Chief Bill Partridge, Oxford dermatologist Shelly Ray, veterinarians Tom Beam and Bill Berry, and Calhoun County District Judge Laura Phillips, and Jefferson County judges Scott Vowell and Niki Still.
"I think it adds legitimacy to this board to see law enforcement officials on it," Partridge said. "After the problems the shelter had with animal abuse allegations, I think our presence is very important."
Animal Control and the county's animal shelter have been a source of controversy for the last two years for the County Commission. In 2012, the Sheriff's Office investigated the animal shelter on accusations of animal abuse. The investigation led to the formation of the Animal Control Advisory Board in late 2012.
In turn, the county's recent move to let the nonprofit take over Animal Control has been criticized by most of the previous Animal Control Advisory Board, who resigned in protest. Former chairwoman Janet Odom accused the commission of dirty politics, and former member John Wippler and his wife, Lisa Wippler, said they hope to present their case to the state Attorney General's Office.
"We just feel like there's a lot of backroom meetings and deals going on," Lisa Wippler said. "That's not what we pay our commission to do."
Wippler said she was especially frustrated with answers she received from commission Chairman Rudy Abbott, who told her the commission did not need to bid out the contract for Animal Control because it fell under the category of professional services.
"He told us if we were upset we should have bid, and then he said he didn't need to advertise for bids," Wippler said. "He kept going back and forth."
Wippler also questioned Cheaha Rescue's legitimacy in being able to provide professional services. The group has only recently applied for nonprofit status with the Secretary of State's office.
Abbott said the commission had done nothing wrong, and county attorney Tom Sowa said Animal Control falls under professional services, and the Attorney General's Office has ruled that cases such Calhoun County's are lawful.
"Tom and Ken Joiner don't let us do anything illegal," Abbott said, about the county's attorney and administrator. "We've done everything the way we're supposed to."
Cunningham said while she had disagreements with the previous board on how services were being handled, ultimately, the two groups want the same thing; to save animals' lives.
"There were a lot of good people on that board," Cunningham said. "We just feel like we can do a better job improving conditions."

~ The calming effects of jasmine yellow paint, the light streaming through diverse windows, and the neutral bed linens create an unfussy elegance. ~
Color is to interior design what butter is to bread, so to speak. Without color, any space would be unexciting and quite bland. It's no surprise then that the first thing that comes to mind when we begin a design project is the palette. We start with our favorite colors, the ones that empower us and express our emotions and we strive to give the space the touch of our personality.
Yellow is one of my favorite colors because it is happy, optimistic, energetic and it makes me think about radiant spring days. For these reasons, I have amassed heaps of examples of sunshine-filled interiors and I cannot wait to use them as inspiration when decorating our long wished-for house. Below are a few more of my cherished muses.
~ Cream, yellow tinted with white, is a seductive color as it warms without overpowering, while also escaping the monotony of austere white. ~
~ School-bus yellow walls bring summer into this winter porch, conferring it a welcoming and energetic vibe. ~
~ Stil de grain yellow accents against soft, powdery, matte walls, perfectly contrast the chocolate hardwood floor and furniture. ~
~Saffron yellow and moss green partner in marvelous harmony to transform this living room into a cozy chic oasis. ~
~ The combination of white and buff yellow seems to work miracles in this small room, making it bigger and brighter. ~

New Break-Out Prison Show: 10 Things You Need to Know About "Orange is the New Black"
If you haven't already binge-watched the entire first season of Orange Is the New Black, cancel all your weekend plans - you have a lot of catching up to do. The series premiered in early July, and it has already become an obsession for both critics and unprofessional TV junkies such as myself. Netflix renewed it for a second season before the pilot episode even aired, which is essentially unheard of in the entertainment world. Orange Is the New Black revolves around Piper Chapman, a wealthy boho Brooklynite who suddenly finds herself in the terrifying world of women's prison. She leaves behind her fiancé, her pregnant best friend, and her blossoming soap business to pay for a crime she committed ten years previously, and as you can probably guess, much chaos ensues. Yes, the show provides plenty of titillating material to hook its viewers, but we keep coming back because of the raw humanity and emotions the characters constantly throw our way.

SolarCity Enters Into Largest Rooftop Solar Aggregation Facility
CBS News: Inside SolarCity: The Rise of a Hot Solar Panel Provider
SolarCity Expands to Delaware & The Eastern Shore
SolarCity to Introduce Solar Financial Products for Individuals, Institutions of All Sizes
SolarCity Launches Give Power Foundation™ to Provide Solar-Powered Lighting to Schools Without Electricity
SolarCity has revolutionized the way energy is delivered to your home by giving you a cleaner, more affordable alternative to your monthly utility bill.
SolarCity will install your solar system for free!
With SolarCity's SolarLease® you simply pay for your solar power by the month—just like your utility bill—only lower.
Instead of buying the equipment, you simply lease it.
Your savings can grow over time as utility rates continue to increase. Historically, utility rates have increased over 5% every year. With a SolarLease, you can lock in lower electricity rates for the term of your contract.
For a typical 3-bedroom home with a current electricity bill of $200 per month, we might recommend a medium sized 4 kW solar system.
Your new solar system will generate enough electricity to offset what you are currently paying to the utility company from $200 down to $60 per month.
Your SolarLease payment would be $0 down and $110 per month. So you could actually save $30 per month from day one.
"We've wanted to go solar for quite a long time. With SolarLease we can immediately get all the advantages of solar energy... without blowing our budget."
Don & Ginger Creevy
With our SolarLease, we install your system for free and we maintain the equipment on your home, so you do not have to worry about ongoing maintenance costs. A SolarLease includes:
System Monitoring We constantly monitor your system's performance with our proprietary SolarGuard®. If problems do arise, our service crews will be notified and dispatched to get your solar system back online.
Repair Service SolarCity owns the equipment and is responsible for repairs, such as inverter replacement.
Insurance Coverage Our all-inclusive system coverage protects against damage or theft.
We're so confident with our system installation and design that we guarantee your system will perform as promised or SolarCity will pay you the difference! Our guarantee considers normal weather variations and solar panel performance over time. We track your system performance through our SolarGuard monitoring service, so we know exactly how much energy it is producing every day, week, month and year!
A SolarLease can be a better investment than purchasing your system with cash because you do not have a big upfront payment and can save your money for other opportunities. You save money every month on lower electricity bills so you can be cash flow positive from day one in some cases. Your price for power can also be lower with some of our lease payment options than it is for a purchased system. In addition, you do not have to worry about unexpected repair costs because they are covered under a SolarLease.
We offer several payment options to fit your financial goals. You can go solar for as little as $0 down or you can prepay for some of your electricity in advance to lower your ongoing monthly payments. You can also fully prepay your SolarLease so that you do not have any ongoing monthly bills.
At the end of our agreement, you can upgrade your existing solar power system to a new system with the latest solar technology. You can also extend our agreement, or simply have the solar panels removed for free.
If you sell your home, you can transfer the SolarLease to the new owners or buy out the system ahead of time and include the solar panels cost in your home sale price.
Our SolarPPA and SolarLease are both great solar financing options. They offer similar financial advantages to the homeowner. The primary difference is that with a lease you pay by the month, and with a PPA you pay per kWh. One of the benefits of the SolarPPA is that you can purchase the system anytime after year five. Availability of SolarPPA and SolarLease vary by location based on what your local utility company prefers.
Financing terms vary by location and are not available in all areas. To find out which plans are available in your area, request a free consultation to discuss our affordable solar financing options..
To qualify for financing, you need to have excellent credit (a FICO score of 680 or greater).

Make sure you read the coupon description carefully and check you coupon has activated before finishing your final step in your transaction.

There are many deals to be had at the website. Mostly seasonal products like BBQ's and Christmas trees are heavily reduced. But in order to grab peoples attention, the Home Depot regularly have a deal of the day in which they list a random product at a reduced price.
We advise customers to check out their Value Center as the Home Depot carries its own stock they need to reduce their stock levels of certain products to make way for new ones. This is where you may find the coupon on the product you have been waiting for.Home Depot Promo Codes,

Rated 3 out of 5 by EmMe Pepper grinder stopped working I love the product, but unfortunately the pepper grinder stopped working after only about a year of owning this product. I must admit, I have dropped it on a few occasions, so perhaps that has something to do with it, but after seeing a similar review, I suspect it is a faulty product. Other than that issue, I love the look and functionality of it. In fact, I still kept it to use for the salt side because it is so convenient. July 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by CharlieD Looks and grinds great Have had this for over two years and I use it several times a week. It looks great and grinds to the size (pepper) that I prefer. March 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by sunflowers7 Love, love, love this grinder!! I have had this grinder for almost a year and a half. I always get compliments on it when I have guests. I love it plus it looks great in my kitchen, as it blends well with my stainless steel appliances. Unlike the other review, I have had no problems whatsoever. September 24, 2012

In addition to the delicious, decorous, and devastatingly de-lovely talents of Broadway star Sutton Foster, the evening will include cocktails, dinner, silent and live auctions, and a "MoonGlow Cabaret" with clarion-voiced chanteuse KLea Blackhurst and Tony Award-winning singer-actor Michael Maguire. Guests are invited to dress in accordance with the Valentine theme "Anything Goes with a dash of red." For tickets ($375 - $750) the public may contact 42nd Street Moon at (415) 255-8207 or for more information visit 42ndstmoon.org.
The evening kicks off at 6pm with cocktails and a silent auction in the Ralston Room of the historic Palace Hotel. An assortment of fun and festive items will be up for auction, including trips, wine, theatre tickets, and special entertainment packages. Guests will move to the elegant Garden Court for a lavish dinner, a live auction, and concert by Broadway favorite Sutton Foster. Star of ten Broadway shows, Ms. Foster shot to fame in Thoroughly Modern Millie, for which she won a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical, the same award she captured again last year for her performance in Anything Goes. She also originated roles in The Drowsy Chaperone, Little Women, Young Frankenstein, and Shrek the Musical. As a solo artist, Ms. Foster has performed throughout the U.S. and internationally, and has released two CDs: "Wish," and "An Evening with Sutton Foster: Live at the Café Carlyle." She currently stars in the TV series "Bunheads" on ABC Family. Joining Ms. Foster will be her Musical Director Michael Rafter. Mr. Rafter conducted Gypsy on Broadway as well as the TV movie adaptation for which he won an Emmy. He has also served as Musical Director for Broadway's Thoroughly Modern Millie, The Sound of Music, and The King & I.
Following the dinner and concert, guests will return to the Ralston Room for the "MoonGlow Cabaret," hosted by singer-actress-comedienne KLea Blackhurst. Best known for Everything the Traffic Will Allow, her tribute to Ethel Merman, Ms. Blackhurst has gone on to create acclaimed musical tributes to the works of composers Vernon Duke and Hoagy Carmichael. She has appeared with orchestras and symphonies across the country and abroad at some of the world's top venues, including the London Palladium, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and many more. At 42nd Street Moon she has appeared in Red, Hot and Blue and Call Me Madam.

He has also appeared in musicals across the US, with opera companies and symphony orchestras around the world, and in television and film.

Kirsten Dunst or Emma Stone?
Rosemary Harris or Sally Field?
I went to the midnight premier this week of the latest big-screen installment of Stan Lee's comic book superhero, "The Amazing Spider-Man."
Just when you thought the first trilogy had mined all the worthy material from the classic comic, the reboot arrives as somewhat of a prequel that revisits Spidey's origin and the death of Uncle Ben, but also explores an untouched part of Peter Parker's story — the mysterious deaths of his parents, Richard and Mary Parker.
As a fan first of the comic books and then of the original Spider-Man movies, I went in, with much anticipation, prepared to judge this movie on how well it matches up to the previous series.
Who's the better Peter Parker?
Who's the better love interest?
Who's the better Aunt May?
Which is the better movie?
First of all, there's no J. Jonah Jameson this time around. The job of convincing everyone that the web-swinger is a menace to society falls to Denis Leary who plays the duty-driven police Capt. Stacy, the father of Peter Parker's love interest, Gwen Stacy, played by Emma Stone.
There's also no red-head bombshell. This high school genius version of Peter Parker falls for Gwen Stacy, who was actually his first love in the comic books.
But more than his love affairs with Mary Jane and Gwen Stacy, it was always his relationship with Aunt May that most showed Peter Parker's tender and vulnerable humanity.
Rosemary Harris was very believable in the role of Peter's aunt, but Sally Field refuses to be outdone, playing the younger but still strong and wise matriarch.
Then there's the bad guy.
The comic books seem to have no end of super-powered psychos looking to make New York City their stomping ground, and "The Amazing Spider-Man" has one of the wall-crawler's most deadly enemies — the Lizard. He's as vicious and conflicted as any of the original villains.
Garfield's Peter Parker is a little darker than the unassuming Maguire, more of an awkward loner than a love-struck nerd.
The action is stylish and fast and powerful, although the fight scenes with the Lizard don't quite match the subway scene of "Spider-Man 2" when he rumbles with Doc Ock.
The web-swinging scenes through the city are still the breathtaking fantasy you long to see when you read the comic books.
The undercurrent of the entire movie is the mystery of what happened with Peter Parker's parents. What dark secrets lurk behind the walls of OsCorp? There are myriad clues throughout this installment that let you know there are more installments in the works.
But what about this one? Is it as good, or even better than the first three?
At the end of the day, there's no comparison ... because they shouldn't be compared.
The reason to see any Spider-Man movie is for the timeless story about a troubled teenage boy who gets bitten by a radioactive spider.
Whose newfound powers don't make his problems go away, but adds to them.
Who wants to do the right thing, even if it means his own unhappiness.
He falls, he scars, he bleeds.
He's one of us.
As much as we cheer for this accidental guardian who must rescue the city of New York over and over again, this time around the person we most need Spider-Man to save is Peter Parker.
Managing Editor Anthony Cook can be reached at 256-235-3558, or on Twitter at Acook_Star.

Rating: PG-13 for sequences of action and violence

Indie Links flexes its muscle for the third time this week, I like this whole M,W,F thing–we'll see if we can keep it going consistently. Plenty to check out today, including more info on GameStop's acquisition of Kongregate. Highly anticipated titles (Shank, Trine 2), innovative games (Spy Party), explanation and exposition…it's all here, enjoy.
Interview: What GameStop's Kongregate Buy Can Mean For Indies (Leigh Alexander/Gamasutra)
"GameStop's acquisition of indie Flash game and social hub Kongregate represents a gain in the major brick-and-mortar retailer's strategy to stay in step with fast-evolving digital trends. And while the small-developer community ethos of Kongregate might initially seem at odds with the corporate retail change, the companies see it as a net gain for all involved."
Ten Super Cheap Xbox Indie Games You Have To Play (Matt Miller/GameInformer)
"We've all been there. Microsoft points never manage to come out even; just like carnival tickets, you always have a few left over. But what to do with that extra change after you buy some big new Live Arcade game or DLC expansion? We've gathered together 10 of the best Xbox Live Indie games that cost between 80 points ($1) and 240 points ($3) for you to explore."
Spy Party Hard: Hands On With Spy Party (Kieron Gillen/RPS)
"Andy "Monaco" Schatz's cat is being slowly broiled alive. It crawled behind the oven, which was in the process of cooking Macaroni & Cheese. It's only later that Andy's Delightful Wife is alerted by the frantic yelping of a distressed pussycat. We're about to play SpyParty at my hotel room when the alert comes through, leading to a frantic cross-San Diego dash to try and rescue the pipping-hot cat from its furnace-crammed state. The Andy is trying to get his landlord on the phone, to see if there's any reason why they can't just pull the oven around. He's failed. Meanwhile, Spy-Party-dev Chris Hecker is insisting that it'll be fine, and we should just act immediately heft the cooker to release it. Let's do this thing! We do this thing, and the cat runs free. I'm not sure this is a metaphor about Chris's position in the industry or SpyParty or how he's a man capable of making hard decisions swiftly, but it was too good not to share. And I wanted something to separate this initial report of SpyParty from all the other pieces online, because I'm basically going to echo what they all said. This is looking like something genuinely startling."
Interview: Trine 2 and Beyond- Exclusive With Frozenbyte (Uğur Yurtsever/Tom's Hardware)
"As you've already known from the great announcement just before E3 2010, the surprise was Trine 2 and it should be the revenge chance for us to get some cool details about the game. We loaded our most powerful weapons with old womanish questions and fired it directly to Helsinki, Finland… Frozenbyte headquarters of course!"
COLUMN: Abbott's Habit: Blood, and Steel, and Bacon (Michael Abbot/GameSetWatch)
"Abbott's Habit is a monthly GameSetWatch column by writer and Brainy Gamer blog author Michael Abbott. This month, he looks at DeathSpank and the evolving role of comedy in games."
'Shank' Interview: Jamie Cheng CEO of Klei Entertainment (The Gaming Liberty)
"We recently threw a few questions at Jamie Cheng, the founder of Klei Entertainment. Jamie and his team at Klei are about to unleash Shank on PSN, XBLA and PC and look set to have a monster on their hands. This game is going to blow you away. Here's what Jamie had to say about everything from Shank to God of War, Digital Distribution, Double Dragon and why playing Shank renders playing boardgames obsolete…..sort of…"
Hands-On: Arvoesine (Derek Yu/TIGSource)
"Arvoesine is a new platform game from Alastair John Jack, the creator of the entertaining platformer RPGs Ainevoltas 2 and Final Vision. The game puts you in control of a little Roman soldier who can attack with a sword or spear, and has a shield to defend himself with. The goal of the game is to make your way through five short stages, fighting a boss at the end of each stage."
Interview: Ron Gilbert On The Synthesis Of DeathSpank (Chris Remo/Gamasutra)
"Designer Ron Gilbert is best known for his landmark LucasArts adventure games Maniac Mansion and The Secret of Monkey Island, but his career has also encompassed children's games at Humongous Entertainment, and he served as producer on Chris Taylor's ambitious large-scale RTS Total Annihilation. His latest game, DeathSpank, debuts on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network a few weeks ago, and represents the addition of the action-RPG to his repertoire."
Nuclear Dawn Dev Diaries: In the shadow of Russia (tcviper/IndieDB)
"With the trailer preparations and raw footage shoots done, we can finally resume our scheduled transmissions. Let's take things up a notch, as we reveal one of Nuclear Dawn's most treacherous maps."
Interview: Nitrome's Annal on Keeping Their Retro Flash Game Ideas Fresh (Michael Rose/GameSetWatch)

Danielle Gravel came through for the Keuka College women's basketball team Monday.
Sidney graduate Gravel scored a season-high 20 points and went 4-for-4 at the foul line in overtime to lead the Storm to a 75-67 victory over visiting Hilbert College.
Junior guard Gravel also had five assists and four steals for Keuka (3-1), which went 10-for-10 from the free-throw line in the extra period after rallying from a 15-point halftime deficit to tie the score by the end of regulation.
Gravel earned co-athlete of the week honors from Keuka earlier Monday.
Gravel scored a game-high 19 points Nov. 20 to lead the Storm (2-1) to a 61-56 victory over the University of Pitt-Bradford. She scored 11 points — including three three-pointers — in the first half, which ended with Keuka ahead, 35-23.
Gravel, who shared the Storm's weekly honor with men's basketball player Jared Wagner, was a First Team selection in the North Eastern Athletic Conference last season.
She also had 11 points, five rebounds and two steals in a 63-54 defeat of Brockport in the second round of the Onnie's Classic at Nazareth College on Nov. 18. Gravel scored 13 points in the opening round, a 58-55 loss to Nazareth that marked the Storm's season opener.
Keuka opens its North Eastern Athletic Conference schedule against Morrisville State at 5 p.m. today.
Krista Baxter
Downsville graduate Krista Baxter tied for the team lead in goals scored this past season for the Morrisville State women's soccer team.
Sophomore midfielder Baxter, who started all 15 games for the Mustangs (0-14-1) had five goals on 43 shots, 26 of which were on goal. She matched the goals scored by Lindsay Peri, who had one assist for the team lead in points.
The Mustangs roster also included Edmeston graduate Samantha Martin, a sophomore defender who started all 15 games as well.
Ben Conklin
Walton graduate Ben Conklin helped Herkimer County Community College to the NJCAA Division III championship in men's soccer this past season.

Harlem, a senior, had eight points and nine rebounds for the Continentals, who have started the season with three straight losses. She also contributed three assists and two blocks.
Harlem's performance followed a seven-point, eight-rebound night in a 46-38 loss to 16th-ranked Tufts University during the 35th annual Skidmore College Invitational on Nov. 17.
Hamilton opened the season with a 66-61 loss to Ithaca College in the opening round of the Skidmore College Invitational on Nov. 16. That game featured five assists from Harlem, who earned Daily Star Player of the Year honors in high school girls basketball for the 2008-09 season.
