Author Note: Effective December 16, 2014, this program has been repeated in Nassau County. Any speed camera tickets issued before this date still must be paid.
Nassau County recently launched its speed cameras program. In total, 56 speed cameras will be installed by October, one in each of Nassau's school districts. Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano predicts that the cameras will generate an estimated $25+ million each year.
By law, the cameras can only operate during public school hours between 6:00 am and 7:00 pm. Each violation of 10 mph or more over the posted speed limit will carry a $50 fine, and there will be a $25 penalty for failure to pay (meaning a grace is given to speeders between 1 and 9 mph over the limit).

Did Nassau County bring back school speed zone cameras? This afternoon I drove past a school with a "20 mph limit when lights are flashing" sign. The lights were not flashing, so I did not slow to 20. I'm worried that the lights were malfunctioning and that I will get a ticket in the mail, regardless.
To date, speed camera tickets are not issued in Nassau County (and they have never been issued).
Matthew Weiss
I was driving today from the Green Acres Mall area down Mill Road and passed a school there. I didn't even realize I was driving over the speed limit near there. Today was Veteran's Day and there was no school anyway. Do you think I'd still get a ticket?
Given that the school was closed, then you are not supposed to receive a speed camera ticket. If you do, you can fight it based on the school's closure.
Matthew Weiss
Anyone beat any of their tickets? I also received 7 on merrick road and I have a court date today.
Good luck today Ilona. These tickets are VERY hard to beat.
Matthew Weiss
Yes, and you were right about no amnesty. I went to court and it was an experience as it was ithe first time for me. The building was difficult to find if you do not have gps….which I don't.
I hope I never experience going to traffic court again. The only good thing was I did not have to pay a late fee on the two tickets I received. I did not even bother to speak to the judge after discussing the tickets with the person at a podium.
I'm glad you could save the late fee. That, at least, covers your gas money to the court.
Matthew Weiss
Hi Mattew Weiss,
I was given a ticket on Nov 26 2014 at 5:15 pm. The entire school district had an early dismissal that day, since it was prior to Thanksgiving day. Should i fight this ticket?
As you likely know, you received this ticket before this program was repealed. Tickets issued before 6:00 pm are valid based on my understanding. Therefore, I do not think that you'll win despite the early dismissal that day. I know it is unfair and not within the spirit of school safety but, in my opinion, this program was designed more for money, than actual school safety.
Matthew Weiss
Hi Mr. Weiss. I received a ticket by great neck south high school on 12/8/14 for going 46mph at 5:21PM. The school mentioned dismissed its students at 233PM (close of final period as per school website on that date). My question is, do I have a chance of fighting this ticket seeing how it was issued nearly 3 hours after school had been dismissed? (From what I understand the tickets can only be administered during school hours?).
Nirav Mehta,
This ticket is valid because it was issued before 6 pm.
Matthew Weiss
Then I guess I will keep my court date. Thank you for your response.
If the law was repealed why do we have to pay the ticket?
The law repeating the Nassau speed cameras did not provide for any amnesty to those who violated the law prior to its repeal.
Matthew Weiss
I just received a notice in the mail from when I was back home for Thanksgiving. Since the school was closed on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving would I be able to protest this?
Yes, the tickets are only supposed to be issued on school days.
Matthew Weiss
I wonder whose relative got the contract to provide the lights and related equipment? And then again, who did the principals in the outside agency which administers these revenue cameras know in Nassau County government?
Can't answer this question but effective tomorrow (December 16, 2014), the program is repealed!!!
Matthew Weiss
Hi Matthew.
Need some help. I have received two tickets over the last 3 months. None of these schools have blinking yellow lights or a sign which says that speeding is enforced by camera. Do I have a chance fighting these tickets? Where can I get a list of requirements which speeding camera has to meet? Thanks in advance
You have a chance because Nassau County likely will be canceling its speed camera program. Monday, December 15th, the County Legislature will make a decision on this issue.
Matthew Weiss
I believe that these automated cameras violate due process. I see that in other states they have been ordered shut down due to this reason. Could you comment on this?
In some other jurisdictions, the camera tickets can result in points or suspensions. In New York, they do not. Rather they are treated as akin to parking tickets. Therefore, the level of due process is less given that someone's privilege to drive is not at stake in New York from such tickets.
Matthew Weiss
I was just on Peninsula Blvd going south from the Southern State Parkway along Hempstead Lake area and noticed two high poles with cameras attached in the center meridian not near any intersection, does anyone know if these are speed cameras?
Is there a school nearby? If not, then they are speed cameras.
Matthew Weiss
Nope, no school. I guess my mailman will inform me. :-/ I was hoping maybe they were for the News12 Traffic channel
thanks Matthew
My pleasure. Fingers crossed that you don't get THAT letter.
Matthew Weiss
I pass these same camaeras several times a week amd have beem wary of them. Not so sure theyre speed cameras but dont take any chances. Is there anyway to confirm they are speed cameras becuase I didnt think they have them outside school zones in Nassau
Nassau County is no longer issuing speeding ticket using speed cameras.
Matthew Weiss
So Mangano is the one responsible for this bullshit? If so, when is he up for re-election. That's one election I want to be sure to vote in along with anyone I know that I can ask a favor of to vote against this goniff.
Timely post. Newsday reported yesterday that Nassau County will install new signs with flashing lights in 56 school zones eligible for speed cameras. The $1 million project "is a response to mounting complaints from motorists about insufficient warning about school-zone speed limits and the presence of the cameras."
Matthew Weiss
I have a legal question about utilizing the defense of double (and in many cases quadruple 4x) jeopardy because of getting (yes while at different times) 4 tickets in the same location within (my case) a 10 days period while it takes 3 weeks to receive the violation in the mail. If you receive a ticket from a human police officer it gives you the precedence means to alter your behavior. I've never received a moving violation in my 38 years of driving. The prevailing anger of Nassau residents is that the signage is purposely obscure as this is utilizing the rule that flashing lights on school signs is not a mandatory element. I did not see the signs, and to my point, I have not received a ticket since. Is the fact that tickets are mailed, the double jeopardy rule a reasonable defense that a judge might recognize or this indeed sets a precedence no elected judge will want to set? BTW the fines are $50 + $30 admin fee on each ticket, therefore for me totaling $400 of money,
Because the offenses occurred at different times (although the same location), double jeopardy does not attach. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Matthew Weiss
As far as signs go they put a small one about less than a half block in front of the Our Lady of Mercy school and the next sign is to pick up speed to 40 miles is about a good 2 blocks after the school….the camera is just about right past the school…strategically planned to give you a ticket.
My son uses the family car to go to and from work. He received 4 tickets today from last week for speeding in a school zone, all in my husband's name. I think if he received one ticket in person or 2 or even 3 days after he would have known to slow down, but not getting notification until almost a week later is counterproductive. The immediate lesson of getting a ticket is missing. Can we contest or file non responsibility because they weren't sent or received in a timely fashion?
Anonymous Mom,
You can certainly try but I am not optimistic that this argument will get you very far.
Good luck and I'm sorry for your son's misfortune
Matthew Weiss
This is the most ingenious way of raising taxes without raising taxes. All areas with and without Speed cameras should be Re-marked with bolder brighter signage to let everyone know that SAFETY is the issue(apparently the current signage is also a problem), not handing out tickets to the masses. This is going to be a major issue in the future and we need an organization to let the politicians know that they will pay for this at election time. I am sure the people will be very interested in clearing out these "sneaky" tricks that our great leaders have come up with to pay for their past budgetary in-effectiveness.
From what I've be reading and hearing, you're not alone in this opinion.
Matthew Weiss
Thanks for the reply re: Lido Beach on 10/17. I plan on fighting this one!
Good luck Denise!
Thanks for the information!
I just got a violation in the mail. The time of day was 5:42:23 PM. I was in Lido on 10/17 visiting for a funeral. The irony, my Aunt who passed was the county clerk in Long Beach for years!
I just checked the school calendar and dismissal time is 3:20 for Lido Elementary. I also checked the calendar to see if there were any events and there were NONE!
I just spoke with the violations bureau and he told me that the cameras stay on until 6:00 PM.
So basically, EVERYONE who is driving by between 4-6 is getting a violation. Talk about a moneymaker!
What do you think of that?
Although Newsday previously reported that the speed cameras are only allowed to activate during schools hours (and 1 hour before and after), I have been told that the law was changed making the cameras active from 6:00 am to 7:00 pm during school days.
Matthew Weiss
There seems to be so many changes to the school speed camera laws in reference to the time enforced… within school hours (or 1 hr before and after), 6am -7pm, and from 7 to 9 a.m. and again from 2 to 4 p.m. My ticket was on Dec 1st at 9:32. What was the law on that day? How are we supose to know? In addition, there were no flashing lights and unvisble signs, since there was a bend in the road before the school. Is it worth trying to fight this?
In my opinion, I don't think it is worth fighting. You likely won't win.
Matthew Weiss
I just got a ticket going 39 at 5:27pm on October 1. And wasn't that an early dismissal day? What are the hours of Our Lady of Mercy school on S. Oyster Bay Road ? Do these kids go to school at night? I will find another way home I suppose. A little longer but will save me $80.
Rikki Nelson,
You should check that school district's website for hours that day. This may help you fight this ticket.
Matthew Weiss
I hear the school dismisses at 3pm. According to the locals every school zone is 7a-6p. I'm from Florida so I had no idea. I guess I will just pay it then. Will lose too much money taking off work for it.
Many people don't bother to challenge these tickets because they are hard to win and minimal upside in beating them.
Matthew Weiss
Go back to Florida and enjoy the good life – get out of NY before it's too late – Oops, it already is!
at this point with these cameras you know it's only going to get worse that I'm afraid to driveyou know it's only going to get more and more worse with the
Don't you think it is a little odd that two people got tickets going past Our Lady of Mercy after school hours and doing the SAME speed.
It sounds like that device may be set up wrong. If so, this is a good argument to fight the tickets issued there during "off hours".
Matthew Weiss
Isn't this whole scam an invasion of our privacy? It is being administered by an outside agency who now apparently have access to our driver's license ID numbers, our addresses etc. just a matter of time till their systems are breached – will Nassau county then reimburse us for potential losses? I don't understand how this isn't unconstitutional.
You raise some very interesting points. I'd love to see these raised in a court case.
Matthew Weiss
I would also! Aside from that they are supposed to check the cameras EVERY day….are they….I think they are not always correct. Is there any way of arguing this without someone saying they cameras never are wrong? The other day I rode past the school on Round Swamp Road in Bethpage. The digital sign clocked me in at 41 and I was doing 20…a crawl…and I had a witness in my car. I then braked lightly to 18 mph and the digital sign went up to 46 mph. I was livid to say the least. While the digital sign has nothing to do with the camera I am wondering if I am due for another ticket and how I will argue this one. This is really getting nuts.
I can't predict whether you'll be getting a camera ticket but, if this occurred within school hours (or 1 hr before and after), then you very well may. Unfortunately, the nearby digital sign is not relevant to ones that issue the speed camera tickets.
Matthew Weiss
I called the county and the cameras are on until 6pm and give tickets up to that time. Also, if you slow down you must stay at the speed until you see another sign raising the speed limit….not just until you pass the school. Alot of distracted driving looking for signs that are not really that big.
Although the speed cameras initially were only active during school hours, school events and 1 hour before or after each, I have been told that the law was changed so that they are now active on school days from 6:00 am to 7:00 pm.
Matthew Weiss
The person I spoke to was in the Department of Public Works, Nassau County. If what you say is true than I should be able to fight the ticket I got at 4:27?
You don't have much to lose. Good luck fighting this ticket.
Matthew Weiss
Anonymous, I think I know what is going on here. I have seen that too. The digital signs typically take a few seconds to register then display your speed. So say the car in front of you is doing 41 and you're doing 20. It will stay on 41, then see you, then show 20 mph as you're about to pass it. When it jumped up to 46, perhaps it was seeing the person behind you?
I have received over 12 tickets for everyday since Sept 16th and each in the amount of $80. I don't recall seeing any sign that a camera has been put in or any flashing light.
I see the sign now, Is there anyway to find our when the sign was erected? Flashing light is dangling seems to be holding up and tilted at about 45 degree angle and seems that it can fall any time.
I got my tickets from:
Cantiague Elementary School 678 Cantiague Rock Rd., Jericho
Wow! That sounds like some record. You can find out information on the installation of the camera by making a Freedom Of Information Act request to the Nassau County Department of Public Works.
Matthew Weiss
Matthew, FOIA requests apply only to federal agencies, which the Nassau County [fill in the blank] is not.
New York State has a Freedom of Information law too. Check out Public Officers Law §§ 84-90.
Matthew Weiss
Edward again. Followup- "Nonsense" is defined by the fact that the Newsday submitted it to the TPVA and was denied bc the they claim they are part of the judiciary when its actually administrative.
Here's the detail from Newsday…
"David Bookstaver, director of communications for the state court system, said, "They are not a part of the court system."
And to make things even clearer, let's go to Robert Freeman, executive director of the Committee on Open Government, the expert on the state's Freedom of Information Law.
"These are administrative agencies set up to administer parking programs," he said. "The information is public under FOIL." In fact, Freeman said, even if the counties were correct in recasting agencies as part of a court, information still would be public — under a different statute.
BTW I left you a voice mail. thanks
Nice speaking with you today. In regard to you post, I believe that you'll get your disclosure if you pursue this further.
Matthew Weiss
Mr Weiss. Newsday did file a FOIL request that was denied. I can get to the details of it, but it had to do with judicial jurisdiction that Newsday checked on it, and was determined to be nonsense. Nassau claims they will release the data, but it was certainly not going to be before last Tuesday's election.
Thanks for sharing this information. I'm not surprised. New York City denied a FOIL request that I made a few years ago seeking the locations of NYC red light cameras. The City claimed that divulging this information would impair law enforcement measures. I found the explanation shaky but did not pursue it further.
Matthew Weiss
Imran, Were you able to get that information. I got my ticket from there too…. did not see a sign.
What law/rule/agreement allowed the county to install speed cameras?
The Legislature in Albany passed an enabling law.
Matthew Weiss
I just got two tickets in a row for the speed over limit at Our Lady of Mercy School @ Old Country Road….I know I crawled past the school at about 25 miles an hour but I came in at 36 miles on one and it was @ 4;30 pm…..no school activities…the other ticket was around the same speed….this is absolutely intimidating and I can not afford this as I am a senior citizen. I intend to contest both tickets as I think the camera is not working properly and there are no cars on the road on one ticket except mine…the other is after school hours.
Fran Nager,
Good luck fighting these tickets. Let us know how you make out.
Matthew Weiss
I got a ticket at Our Lady of Mercy School at Old Country Road as well. I know I was going the speed limit and the violation states 36 mph. It was 5:30 pm at night. No school activities going on at 5:30 pm. I checked the website and the school lets out at 3 pm. The law states they can only enforce the speed limit for 1 hour past the end of the school day.
You're right. You should plead not guilty and fight this one.
Good luck!
Matthew Weiss
Are there even signs posted at that location? Because I do not recall seeing any.
You may want to go back and check for signs.
Matthew Weiss
I find it disturbing that they do not give you the option to download a video of the incident. I got a red light ticket in the past, and you can actually download a video of the incident. With Speed Camera violations, they do not give you the option to download the video. I'd love to measure the distance between a few lines on the road and divide it by the time it took me to go from point A to Point B to see what my speed really was. I did some research and a lot of times they will bounce the first beam off your licence plate to get a measure of Time/Distance, then accidentally bounce the second one off of your side view mirror. Thus adding the length of your vehicle to the distance portion of the change in distance divided by change in time. This will speed up your measured speed. I also do not trust that they system is good enough to pick out one car out of a few cars in the area.
Do you know of a way i can get a copy of the video ?
Speed/Red Light Cameras are a huge violation of privacy and are absolutely about generating revenue. Its only a matter of time before speed cameras go up all over the place. I am glad my government can now keep tabs on every single place I drive. Speed Cameras, Red light cameras, EZ Pass. Any illusion people have of privacy are a complete joke.
Dave L,
These tickets and their adjudication is so new so I can only guess. IF you plead not guilty, I'd bet that the clerk at the court can show you the video.
Give it a try!
Good luck.
Matthew Weiss
I got one at 5:37pm. Isn't this considered after school hours?
Unless there was some type of school program or sporting event, this is a good argument for dismissal. The speeding camera tickets can only be issued during school hours (and one hour before and after).
Matthew Weiss
I got two in the past week for supposedly going 31 and 33mph in front of John Street School. Conservative speeds for Nassau Blvd. but apparently not slow enough to keep the revenue cameras from activating.
The incriminating images of my ordinary and safe driving show the sidewalks completely deserted with not a soul in sight.
I wonder if those cameras have ever caught an actual elementary school student walking to or from the school or playing on the grass in front. If not, how can this 'school safety enforcement program' be justified at this location and others where signs of life are so conspicuously absent?
At 4:30 in the afternoon when I usually drive past John Street School and the time of revenue camera clicks, you are more likely to encounter a Himalayan snow leopard on the road than a child.
There has got to be a less offensive and less dishonorable way of parasitizing the tax base than this.
I would wholeheartedly support a referendum to get rid of the cameras. I would support a county executive who opposed them. I would fervently support a candidate for county executive who advocated SMASHING the cameras to bits.
Any heroes out there?
I got 8 tickets over 2 weeks at the same 3 schools in Plainview. The first ticket I was going over the limit, but once I came home to that ticket – i started driving like a turtle through the school zone – but that didn't prevent me from getting 7 more tickets. There is no question in my mind that there is a flaw in the system. I'm in the process of researching how the point to point camera system is calibrated and if there are any other point to point camera systems in the U.S.A. that have been shut down due to inaccuracy in recording speeds. I have found several so far, which causes great concern for me. As i said, I am positive that i wasn't speeding any of these times and yet at 3 different schools within 15 blocks of each other I have accumulated these tickets. I think what might be happening is once I paid the first ticket – the contractor was able to search the system for any more appearances of my vehicle within the camera zones and automatically spits out violations even though I didn't commit them. There may be another explanation but I have no doubt it will be somewhere along these lines. I plan on not only contesting these tickets but I'm also going to look into getting a referendum onto the ballot to get rid of the Nassau County School Camera program. I absolutely do not trust the results because I know for a fact that I wasn't speeding for 7 of these tickets and yet I have 7 $80.00 tickets. That should be a tremendous concern for every person who drives within the county.
Ouch! You should, therefore, plead not guilty. The People have the burden of proving their case (although keep in mind that these tickets are VERY hard to beat). Good luck!
Matthew Weiss
I also got ticket that I was speeding on 36MPH at 5:44p.m. I am trying to plead not guilty you think is this going to work out. does any one here have plead not guilty and got away or its hard to prove not guilty. if I plead not guilty they said I have to pay $25 extra is that true?
I haven't heard about the extra $25 fee for fighting your case but I do agree that these tickets are tough to beat.
Matthew Weiss
I got suckered for TWO violations at Cantiague Elementary. One falls outside the 1 hour leeway of school dismissal time, so maybe I have a fighting chance on that one.
Sorry to hear about your misfortune. If outside the 1-hour period, then give it a shot.
Good luck!!
Matthew Weiss
Just got a ticket at MacArthur location won't be spending any Christmas $$$ in Nassau this year one thing to pay the fine but a driver responsibility fee more like a driver ripoff fee!
I have to agree. Only one other NYC traffic court charges such a fee (Suffolk SCTVPA) and they followed Nassau's lead.
Matthew Weiss
There is not new signage or blinking yellow lights at Charles Campagne School 651Plainview Rd., Bethpage. Please add. thank you
Thanks for sharing! Much aprpreciated. List updated.

Shaped to snugly contain and gently stretch the scrotum and testicles, Renegade Glow-in-the-Dark Ball Sack XL fully encases an often-overlooked male erogenous zone in smooth, stretchy elastomer.
Along with the obvious stimulation potential that can be employed during sex, masturbation and foreplay, the design of the XL creates a subtle tug on the balls during wear, which, for many men, results in an even more powerful orgasm. To use, simply stretch over the testicles, placing the mouth of the Ball Sack at the base of the scrotum.
Of skin-safe, phthalate free elastomer, the extra stretchy Ball Sack proves extremely easy to maintain, it cleans thoroughly using warm soapy water or a good toy care fluid/foam and is compatible with water and silicone based lubes.
Did we mention it glows in the dark?
*The Ball Sack is approximately 2.75 inches (7cm) in length and ranges from 1 (2.5cm) to 2.75 inches (7cm) in stretchy inner diameter.

Something Wicked This Way Comes Summary
(Masterpieces of American Literature)
Download Something Wicked This Way Comes Study Guide
"By the pricking of my thumbs,! something wicked this way comes." In William Shakespeare's Macbeth (c. 1605), the witches speak these lines as Macbeth approaches for his second meeting with them. He has come because he has found his ill-gotten power empty and insecure. The witches speak out of sympathy for the evil they have cultivated in him. When Charles Holloway quotes these lines in Something Wicked This Way Comes, he is also speaking of the sympathy of the evil that lurks always in the hearts of the good for the greater evil in the hearts of those who have given in—who have agreed to trade something for nothing, thus converting themselves into grotesques who feed on the pain and fear of others.
Quasi-allegorical in form, this novel, like Dandelion Wine, is set in Green Town and seems aimed at young readers. Two boys deal with the temptations of evil presented by Cooger and Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show. Will Holloway and Jim Nightshade are best friends and neighbors. Will, son of Charles, was born just before midnight, Jim, just after midnight on Halloween Day. Will seems the natural child of reason and goodness, but fatherless Jim finds in himself an attraction to danger, to power, and to evil. Their friendship binds them together in mutual dependence and defense.
The novel is divided into three parts. In the first, "Arrivals," the Cooger and Dark carnival comes to Green Town at 3 a.m. on a Friday, the week before Halloween. No sooner does it arrive than impossible things begin to occur. Miss Foley, a teacher, is terrified upon seeing her treasured little-girl identity eaten away by age in the maze of mirrors. The boys meet a boy who is revealed to be Cooger, having somehow returned to the age of 12, and through their accidental interference with the magical carousel that changes people's ages, they age him to 120.
The mirror maze and the carousel are the main instruments that the carnival uses to capture those lonely people who dream of gaining power by transforming themselves. The mirror maze shows them what they want to be and makes them fear old age and death. The carousel, by carrying them backward or forward, makes them the age they believe they wish to be. However, Dark, the show's proprietor, a version of the illustrated man from Bradbury's second story collection, always cheats, never giving people exactly what they believe they want but rather some extreme version of it. As a result, they tend to become his slaves, wanting another ride on his machine, and so they become part of his traveling freak show.
In Jim, Dark sees a potential partner, one who might help him carry on the show. Jim's desire is to become instantly older and more powerful. Bradbury does not explore this desire; rather, Jim seems to be a projection of the otherwise invisible dark side of Will. By the end of the first part, Will and Jim have gained enough knowledge of Dark's work to realize that he will catch and destroy them to use them if he can. In the second part, "Pursuits," the boys hide from him and try to discover a way to deal with him. By themselves, they find they cannot, though they are resourceful in their opposition. They enlist the help of Charles, Will's father.
Charles Holloway combines elements of both Jim and Will in his own past. He married late, after trying to make himself into his own ideal for thirty-nine years. He found eventually that life is not simple and fine, that one never becomes the ideal one dreams. Instead, as he tells Will, a person makes choices from one moment to the next, living into the future in a constant struggle against the temptations of nonbeing. There is no final arrival, only pursuit. Will's struggle to stay with Jim and protect him is parallel to Charles's struggle to come to terms with himself. Charles's main regret is that he took so long to begin his life, so he is susceptible to the carousel's temptation to roll back the years.
Charles is janitor at the Green Town...

For teams from smaller conferences that are facing the big guns, belief can be critical. Davidson coach Bob McKillop, whose 2008 team made a surprising run to the Elite Eight, notes that earlier that season the team got invaluable experience through competitive losses to North Carolina, Duke and UCLA. "It showed them that we could at least stay in the game for a significant amount of time," he says.
Gonzaga coverage: Two years ago, as a No. 7 seed, they went to Raleigh, N.C., to discover the wonders of Stephen Curry 160 miles from his campus at Davidson.

True Ghost Story: We Never Disturbed The Dead Again
True Edmonton ghost stories – ghost report from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada sent into our website by Donna-Rae.
Location: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
The following report was sent into our website by Donna-Rae on May 23, 2014:
"When I was 17 we were having a party and it started to get boring. So I said "let's go to the graveyard", and everyone said, "Hey, that sounds like a cool thing to do".
So we all arrived at the graveyard, and we started to play music and laugh. And to make a long story short the next day my brother's friend came over and he looked freaked out. He said, "You gotta listen to this". We looked at each other and I said "okay calm down", and he put in his Metallica tape and we all were at a loss for words cause you can hear the band and in the background all our laughing and screaming.
So I said, "You recorded us". He said, "How, you can clearly hear the music" and he kept trying to push record but it wouldn't… Wow, we were speechless and never disturbed the dead again.."

Scotland isn't only famous for its Highland Games, history and beautiful landscapes, but is also known for some of the finest fresh produce highly regarded worldwide. The traditional Scottish food menu is typically composed of meat, game, dairy products, fish, fruit and vegetables that are all supplied from Scotland's bountiful land.
To give you a taste, we compiled the top 5 local food and drinks you should definitely try when in Scotland:
Known as Scotland's iconic national dish, haggis is composed of sheep's pluck (liver, lungs, and heart) minced with suet (fat), onion, oats and spices and encased in sausage casing (can be artificial nowadays but from sheep stomach originally) for cooking. This may not sound too delectable but it is so delicious that Scotland's beloved poet Robert Burns even made a poem about it!
Full Scottish Breakfast
A full Scottish breakfast is similar to a full English breakfast but includes bacon, egg, sausage, beans, black pudding, tattie scone, tomato, mushrooms and toast accompanied with a pot of tea or coffee and orange juice. Oh, and don't be fooled by the word 'breakfast'. This hearty dish is served all day long in most places in Scotland.
There are five whisky regions in Scotland and each one of them has their own distinct flavours. Don't think you like whisky? Maybe you just haven't found the right one yet.
Neeps and Tatties
'Neeps' are turnips and 'tatties' are potatoes and they are typically served with haggis but are also featured in many Scottish dishes. These two go together just like peas and carrots.
Irn Bru
Pronounced as 'iron brew', Irn Bru is a bright orange fizzy soft drink of an acquired taste and is known as Scotland's other national drink.
The Sruighlea Festival is the best time for you to try out Scotland's food and drinks. Stirling's Foodie Festival will showcase the nation's award-winning food and drink producers and there will be street food caterers on site serving some quality mouth-watering recipes. Don't pass up this opportunity so buy your tickets now!

With the exception of finance, HR is the department most familiar with employee salaries. It should come as no surprise that HR professionals know how to negotiate for competitive compensation. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates that HR specialists bring home a median amount of $59,180 and HR Managers an impressive $106,910—well above the cross-industry median of $44,668.
According to Namely's database of over 1,000 companies, the average HR salary across all levels of experience is $94,949. That's quite promising, but we wanted to dig deeper. In the HR Careers Report 2019, we set out to understand how company size affects compensation, which job titles receive the most competitive salaries, and how HR professionals are valued at each stage of their career. Here's what the data had to say.
It's fair to assume that more established companies typically offer more competitive salaries than their smaller counterparts. The BLS shows that the average hourly worker at a company with 500+ employees earns nearly twice the total compensation of an employee at a company with under 50 employees. It seems pretty cut and dry, but when it comes to HR, our data revealed an interesting trend at play:
Data reveals that non-managers hoping to optimize their earnings should look for companies with 1-50 employees or more than 750 employees. Conversely, earnings for non-managers is lowest at companies with 50-750 employees. This may be because smaller companies often have small but nimble HR teams, with one or two critical members. As more senior HR representatives join the team, the average non-manager salary likely decreases as a result.
On the other hand, managers earn more as their company grows. At 1-200 person companies, HR manager salaries increase with overall headcount. Managers see a spike in earnings at companies with 300-500 employees, where increasing team size and direct reports can earn them nearly $150,000 per year.
Job titles are indicative of career advancement and company status. To gauge trends in compensation, we started by looking at the salary data for the most common job titles in HR.
Unsurprisingly, upward mobility in title or level is rewarded with appropriate compensation. This data confirms that the HR career trajectory is promising for anyone looking for long-term advancement. However, this analysis also revealed another surprising trend. The HR and recruiting functions appear to be valued differently in the modern workplace.
HR coordinators receive a lower average salary than recruiting coordinators. That said, HR coordinators also have more than double the tenure. This trend extends up the totem pole all the way to the manager level. Recruiting is a fast paced and high demand function, so compensation may be commensurate. However, it might also indicate a need to put more value on engagement and tenured HR professionals who strive to build better workplaces.
With an average ratio of one HR employees for every 50 employees, a company in the sweet spot may have only one or two people leading their core HR function. With such a small team, it's possible that job titles deemed "mid-level" actually represent the most senior HR roles within the company. As overall headcount grows, managers and non-managers alike should use these findings to inform potential career moves, either internally or with another company.

There was also an explanation. And I think it's the explanation that convinced me of the truth that I, too, have addictive behaviors just like every drunk or druggie I've looked down my nose at. Two short quotes:
A light bulb went on in my head! How many times have I told myself that it doesn't matter what I eat because it's going right to my butt anyway? How many times have I thought carrot sticks, Cheetos… what's the difference? They're both orange, finger-shaped snack foods. Suddenly I was squirming uncomfortably in my seat. I don't think I like this label.
"No one would ever see a drunk, passed out in the gutter, and say, 'There lies a perfectionist!' But that's exactly what I was! If I couldn't do life perfectly, then I wouldn't even bother trying."
"I was bowled over by the way the Spirit (of Truth) likened this man's -- this alcoholic man's -- story to me. I heard the following thought go through my mind, "No one would ever watch a 300 pound woman walk by and think 'There walks a perfectionist,' but that is exactly what they would be seeing -- a perfectionist!" And I knew the thought was for me and I knew that it was true for me. "Humble," self-depreciating, self-loathing me -- I was a perfectionist. How could I tell? Because if I couldn't eat in the strictest, healthiest, most perfect way possible and be the perfect size ASAP, then forget it! I wouldn't even try!" (Link to full article:http://www.meridianmagazine.com/articles/090422addict.html )
Yet at my core, I know it's true. And maybe, to overcome it, I must first embrace it. So here goes:
I am a perfectionist. I spend too much time, money and effort on trying to create MY vision of a perfect life. And when I fall short, I get angry and give in to defeatist thoughts. I compare how I look, what I possess and where I live to others and when I come out on top I feel superior. When I come up short, I'm fat, ugly and too stupid to ever make anything work right.
Yikes! That's an ugly truth to try to hug.
'They' say recognizing the problem is the first step toward solving it. And when I look at it in these terms, I can see that perfectionism is a big stumbling block on the road to who I want to become. It undermines an essential trust that God will be willing to forgive my screw ups. It tells me that I will never be enough. It saps my power and effectiveness in sharing His love with all of His children. Trying so hard to be perfect is distracting me from actually doing anything of real or lasting importance. When did I forget that failing and trying again define the learning
process? And when did I forget that the very reason I'm here on Earth is to learn?

The Top 3 Hotels in Edirne
Edirne is located in northwestern Turkey and its population is less than half million. The city hosts different historical and religious buildings. It is a popular destination because of oil wrestling, and its cuisine also. It is in the border of Greece and Bulgaria, and tourists can prefer to stay in the city at least a night. So, we'd like to evaluate their options in the city.
When you compare the numbers of hotels in Edirne with other destinations like Istanbul, or Antalya, you'll understand how limited it is. According to your travel plan, you may need to book your room before. There's a university and it can effect the hotels in June especially. Also the committee organises oil wrestling festival in July. It's possible to find and book a hotel room in other ten months is easier than these two months.
We looked the hotels where are in Central Edirne. If you plan to visit Uzunkopru, the stone bridge in district of Edirne, these hotels are not good options for example.
If your travel plan includes these areas, the hotels in this content might be preferred:
– Historical mosques: Selimiye Mosque, Old Mosque, Uc Serefeli Mosque etc.
– Historical buildings and museums: the Complex of Sultan Bayezid II Health Museum, Lozan (Lausanne) Museum, Archeology and Ethnography Museum, the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts etc.
– Historical bazaars and caravanserais: Ekmekcizade Caravanserai, Rustempasa Caravanserai etc.
– Religious places: Grand Synagogue of Edirne etc.
– Other historical buildings: Mecidiye (Meric) Bridge, Fatih Bridge, Edirne Palace, Adalet Kasri etc.
2) Tashan Hotel
If you're a backpacker traveler and if you don't want to waste your time in the hotel, Tashan Hotel can be nice for you. Yes, it doesn't provide facilities like previous and next two hotels; but it's cheap and also it provides an atmosphere that allows you to go back in time.
3) RYS Hotel & Restaurant
The hotel is the same road with Margi Hotel. If you want some luxury, this option has to preferred. It provides almost same facilities like the first one. It has to considered for business trips especially.

Dazed and Confused
Spending my winter break at home, engrossed in developing pictograms for the university project, and creating Christmas cards for my mum and her close friends; calligraphic explorations, quite pathetic if you ask me, but she loves the outcomes, and that's what counts at the end of the day. It's also therapeutic. Maybe I'll be good, someday.
The rest of my free time I spend drawing, binge-watching Mad Men and re-watching The Office Christmas specials; the only life I'm having at the moment, I'm afraid.
Here, have a peek at my pictograms —
They're designed for the Reading Museum, as part of their wayfinding system. All done in Illustrator from scratch. Proud of them. I was never good with Illustrator, and that's an achievement. Maybe I'm being a tad modest; I need to reevaluate my strengths...

AOC's swipe at Bret Stephens' 'bedbug' tantrum would be a lot funnier if she weren't a colossal hypocrite
Bret Stephens made an ass of himself by trying to get a George Washington University professor punished or fired for referring to him as a bedbug.
But that doesn't mean some of Stephens' critics can't also make asses of themselves.
Case in point, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has a knack for self-righteously weighing in on stuff without even an ounce of self-awareness:
You know, that might have actually been a solidly funny tweet if it hadn't come from AOC.
Seriously. This is the same stunning and brave warrior princess who pitched a fit when GOP Rep. Kevin McCarthy called her AOC. The same stunning and brave warrior princess who accused Ben Shapiro of "catcalling" her by inviting her to debate him. The same stunning and brave warrior princess who claps back at her critics by accusing them of trying to silence her.
We have no doubt that she's been called much worse than "bedbug." We've seen her called much worse than "bedbug." But the idea that she's some kind of tough-as-nails fierce kween is as laughable as anything she's ever said.
Oh, and did we mention that she's a hypocrite?
What has AOC spent her congressional career doing if not trying to get people punished (or possibly hurt or killed)? We find that pretty concerning.

We've been having a heatwave for the past few days… glorious sunshine, tropical heat, still heavy air… and ingrates that we are, we've been cowering in the cool shade of the house, only occasionally stirring ourselves to shuffle over to the fridge in search of a cold drink.
Last night the heatwave came to an abrupt end. Black clouds bubbled up over from behind the barn and the late afternoon sunshine gave way to near darkness. The sirens, which are flood warnings for those who live close to the Rhine, started sounding… it was eerie against the hot, damp, leaden evening sky.
And then the rain started. A few thudding drops at first – then it was like turning on a shower. Water streamed from the heavens. It was like standing under a waterfall. Great claps of thunder and flashes of lightening. Within minutes our courtyard had turned into a lake.
I spend the next half hour admiring our new garden "water feature" and wondering, should the weather continue like this for long, whether my next hours would be best spent building an ark or ordering some koi carp for the courtyard. But then I discovered that we also had a puddle forming in the entrance hall… so I stopped dreaming of ornamental lakes and started fetching buckets, mops and checking the cellar and upstairs rooms for unexpected dampness.
Meanwhile the ominous sound of many police and fire engine sirens started to echo all around us.
The scariest thing of all was that the toilet in our downstairs bathroom started bubbling and making weird noises… as though some krakan from the depths would appear from it. At the same time the electricity in that part of the house suffered a short circuit… which led to smoke appearing from a lightswitch in the bathroom. We turned off the mains power, just in case. My youngest daughter created a helpful sign which she stuck on the mirror to warn everyone of our certain impending death.
This morning the sun is out, the courtyard is dry and it's as though nothing happened. The news, though, is full of reports of damage and flooding and even deaths from the storm. I guess we got off lightly after all!

(CNN) – After Adele's (rightly deserved) sweep at the Grammys last year, this year's show is poised to be a bit less predictable.
It'll be a boys' club on CBS Sunday with a six-way tie among Mumford & Sons, Frank Ocean, Fun., Kanye West, Jay-Z and the Black Keys' Dan Auerbach for lead nominee, each receiving six nods apiece.
In between acceptance speeches, the three-and-a-half hour ceremony will be filled with performances from Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, Bruno Mars and Sting, the Black Keys, Taylor Swift, Frank Ocean, the Lumineers, Fun., Mumford & Sons, Dierks Bentley and Miranda Lambert, and Jack White.
But when it comes down to it, there are only four categories that count as the big fish. Check out some predictions below. Who do you think will win big this weekend?

The Sacramento Kings are staying in Sacramento, at least for now:
The Kings and the NBA gave Sacramento one last chance to prove it deserves to be an NBA city.
Now it's up to Mayor Kevin Johnson and the business community to come up with a viable plan for a new arena after so many failed attempts in the past.
"This is one of the proudest moments of my life because the community believed when no one else did," Johnson said Monday. "We kept believing. And if you believe, anything is possible."
The decision by the Maloof family to keep their team in Sacramento rather than apply for relocation to Anaheim, Calif., is only temporary. Co-owner Joe Maloof and NBA Commissioner David Stern made clear that the team will leave after next season if an arena plan is not in place.I was up all night, worrying about poor Summer, and the rest of the dance team (as well as the vendors and the front office people and the seasonal workers at the arena, of course).
Is Anaheim a viable option? Would they play in the same arena where the Ducks play because that would make sense, I guess. How is it that Baltimore, Maryland doesn't have a professional basketball franchise? Shouldn't someone parachute in there, build an arena, and take some money away from the awful Wizards?
If the team had been forced to move to somewhere like El Paso or Des Moines, would that work for Summer and the rest of the ladies on the dance team? Would they move with the team or would they have to relocate to other cities? Would they be able to stay together? I mean, you have to think about what's important.

How to make a Scientist costume?
There are plenty of scientists in the world, and they don't all dress the same. However Hollywood has given us an appearance for a scientist that we generally take to Halloween parties. You have the mad scientist, normal scientist, and sexy scientist. Below we are describing the quintessential costume for scientists.
##Things You'll Need:##
* Pens and pencils
* Paper
* Dress slacks
* Dress shirt
* Dress shoes
* Glasses
Step 1: A scientist is always dressed in suits or skirts in the Hollywood picture. So if you find a pair of dress slacks in any color, dress shirt, and tie you will be able to create the first portion of the scientist. These items should be found in your closet.
Step 2: A lab coat is essential to having a scientist. A white lab coat can be found in almost any store even a second hand store. You should have a patch or name embroidered in the lab coat for where you work. There should also be a pocket filled with a small note pad, pens, and pencils. The lab coat can be knee length or shorter. It all depends on what you find. A couple of test tubes with colored liquid in your hands or in the pocket can also help you pull off the scientist look.
Step 3: In this final step we will be adding the rest of the costume. The shoes you wear should be comfortable, but also dress shoes. Remember a scientist usually dresses rather nicely, but can also be absentminded. The glasses should be round rimmed or small in width. The glasses should sit on the edge of the nose.
Depending on whether you want to be a geeky scientist or a sexy scientist you can add or change the items above.

The last thing that you want is to be stuck in the heat without a working air conditioner!
Although it's still February, the spring will be here before you know it, and with it, will come the heat. If you've been living in Las Vegas for very long, then you probably aren't a stranger to the heat, but that doesn't mean that you want to face it without a reliable air conditioner on your side! At Tippetts Mechanical, we are proud to say that we offer a variety of air conditioning services in Las Vegas, from maintenance to repairs to installation, and we know that the last thing that you want is to be stuck in the heat without a working air conditioner. The following is our list of signs that your air conditioner needs to be replaced.
Warning Sign #1. Your energy bills are high.
Did you know that heating and cooling can account for around 48 percent of your overall energy bills? Whether your air conditioner is outdated or broken, it can cause your energy bills to take a huge hit. There are many things that can increase your energy bills, but if your air conditioner is already old or broken, it might be a great place to start in lowering your bills. It's also important to note that technology has made newer air conditioners much more efficient than their older counterparts, so even if your air conditioner is just old and working fine, you might still save energy on a monthly basis if you install a new one in your home.
Warning Sign #2. Your air conditioner is over 10 years old.
A typical air conditioner can last for around 15 years if you take proper care of it and maintain it as you should. However, if your air conditioner is over 10 years old and it requires expensive repairs, it would probably be a smarter financial decision to replace it now rather than to pay for a repair now and replacement in a few years.
Warning Sign #3. Your air conditioner breaks down frequently.
Do you feel like you are always having to pay for repairs for your air conditioner? Does it feel like, when one thing gets fixed, another breaks? The need for frequent repairs is a sure sign that replacement is your best option. Although it may be more affordable to simply repair your air conditioner when it breaks, repairs aren't always cheap, and if they are happening frequently, they can really add up. In cases like these, replacing your air conditioner instead of repairing it could actually save you money. Plus, it will keep you more comfortable!
If you've experienced any of the above signs with your air conditioner, then replacing it might be the best option for you, and here at Tippetts Mechanical, we can help you find the right option for your needs. Please contact us today to get your air conditioner replaced before the heat arrives, and if you would like to learn about the last few warning signs that you need air conditioner replacement, please stay tuned for our next blog.

Top 9 Android Apps Banned and Delisted From Google Play Store
Google Play Store has been very critical to the quality of apps available to its repository. Time and again this app database is thoroughly verified by Google to comb malicious android apps and weed them out.
This is how Google ensures the privacy and safety of such a humongous database of professional and personal information. Read list of top 9 Android Apps Banned By Google.
9 Android Apps Banned By Google
From January 2017 till now, 13 android apps have been removed from Google play store for being malicious and extremely suspicious in nature. In this article, we are listing top 9 Android apps banned from Google Play Store for one reason or the other.
1. TubeMate:
Once 'TubeMate' was a popular app for downloading YouTube videos. The app allowed users to directly download YouTube videos on their smartphones. The best thing with the app was users didn't even have to watch the video to download it.
It was something that didn't go well with Google, which resulted in removal of TubeMate from the Play Store. Now, as Google has already started allowing users to download their favorite videos for offline viewing, absence of TubeMate won't make that much difference.
2. CM Installer:
CM Installer or Cyanogen Mod was first banned and then removed from Google Play Store. The app was used to install CyanogenMod ROMs on smartphones without having to root them. Why Google taken down the app is still unknown.
3. Flappy Bird:
Flappy Bird was removed from both the apps stores viz. Google Play Store and Apple Play Store. Interestingly, it wasn't Google or Apple who pulled down the app, but app owners themselves brought down the app citing some personal reasons.
Though, Flappy Bird was already listed to be banned before makers removed it from the Play Store.
4. TV Portal:
TV portal was a handy app that allowed users to watch TV series online. Using the app, users were able to stream TV shows directly on their Android devices.
With a huge catalogue and library of shows, the app became the top choice for live streaming. Unfortunately, Google took the app down from Google Play Store for alleged copyright issues.
5. MIUI Music:
MIUI was a Spotify like live music streaming app that allowed users to have live music streaming experience without paying a penny. But unfortunately, the app didn't last longer on Google Play Store and was pulled down.
6. AdAway:
AdAway was an app that helped users removed ads on their Android devices. It was the most popular ad-blocker app downloaded and used at a time. Later on, Google removed it from the Google Play Sore for unknown reasons.
7. Grooveshark:
Grooveshark happened to be an app that Google published and removed from Google Play Store multiple times. Grooveshark was a clone app to Pandora that served the users outside the US. The app makers were later sued by the Recording Industry Association of America for infringing copyrights and abusing music rights.
Observing the fierce legal tussle and several complaints, Google delisted, banned and then removed the app from Play Store.
8. PSX4Droid:
PSX4Droid was a PlayStation emulator app that allowed users to play PlayStation games on their Android devices. The app received humongous appreciation and in no time shot to immense fame and popularity. Unfortunately, the app tangled into copyright tussles and legal troubles that forced Google to take down PSX4Droid out of the Play Store.
9. Rush Poker:
As name implies, Rush poker was a gambling app that was used by the users to play real gambling games with real money. That was an obvious reason why Google pulled this app down. Being increasingly used by the under-age users, the app created an ethical mess and legal troubles for many.

OMG!!!!! And we finally have HEAT!!! Thank the GOOD flippin' LORD! I think i'm in love with the boiler man. He swanned in with his tool box, with a modest 'I'll see what I can do…' and an hour later, avec a wee bit of fiddly-diddly…i felt it. I FELT THE WARMTH!! Yipppeeee!
I immediately called Keiran, to report the good news! I mean, I had called him earlier when the boiler man initially arrived on command and the first thing he asked was 'Did you check his ID??' I smiled (which doesn't work down the phone 🙂 ) and said 'Yes.'
He responded immediately with an 'OMG! Why are you LYING!!' HAHAHA. He's with his Grandad so he's having to be cutesy wootsey with me, over the phone. But as if HE checks for their ID. Hence why he knew I hadn't. 🙂
So, it turns out there was no spare part needed…GREAT! Meaning all that hotel money was for nothing. Wonderful! The new boiler man from a completely different company, saunters in, sorts its out in an hour and wham-bam…i'm sitting in a warming up living room and I've never felt better! I have HEAT! I'm SO HAPPY! I need to celebrate…but my shimmie is a waddle and my waddle is a bit ouchie right now! SO HAPPY!
I have potential heat swirling around me and i've never been so excited! I mean because the house has been left stood for 2 weeks in the cold it will take about 2 hours to fully sizzle up…but i've cranked up the dial and i'm chipper about the whole shindig. I'm happy dancing. I can do the washing. I can turn on the tap. I can have a shower. I can sit in the house without a fur on…AND both my hubby and Baby Ruby will be all smiles once more. Works out well with it being Keiran's birthday tomorrow. At least now I can concentrate on sorting out his birthday, and enjoy it, instead of pulling faces in cold corners or checking out of hotels. In fact, the funny thing was that I was actually going to book a bouji hotel for his birthday night, because i had already taken him away to the forest cabin for a week previous. Yet now, i don't think a hotel night is that special. Lol.
But i have a few tricks up my sleeve for him as always. Last year I took him away on holiday, had trumpet players arrive and fanfare him 'Happy Birthday' in our garden. I then had a barber shop choir turn up and sing to him, after a champagne breakfast, followed by a massage, followed by a champagne lunchy….plus gifts. Little gifts.
This year and because i've taken him away i'm going to get him what he wanted, plus add little bit of 'more-more to his list. But i'll have to keep it a secret, incase he just so happens to read this blog. To be honest, he actually might be in London tomorrow working…I don't even know yet. So i might have to hold off…until I know for sure. But still…birthday's are always fun. He always thinks everyone will forget his birthday. I never do. The day anyone's born is MASSIVE.
Anyway, just a quick blog to inform you that I have heat. There's meant to be some kind of moral to the story i'm sure. But what i've learnt is that, hotels rock when your boiler breaks down, so have savings or a rich folk to take care of you, incase this happens, because when it does, you might need to check in for a bit of 'get warm quick' luxury. 🙂
God! Our little family….we have such stories!
ps/ I love that I banned Keiran from using his eyes on other women who are in thongs, hotter than me or fit, until I'm thin again. 🙂 Wunna Land rocks. I literally sat with my hands over his eyes, during a bikini line on Dragons Den two nights ago. 🙂 The cute thing is that he loves it…he laughs and then asks me why? I responded with an 'Oh…because I feel fat, preggo and insecure right now.' (Quite an expressive little kitty cat arent I. 🙂 ) He agreed to it..with a 'You're my wife and i'll do anything I can to make you feel secure whilst you're carrying my son,' AWWWWWWWW….how cute!!!! A major swoon-fest and that night…regardless…I loved him that little bit more.
