Court: British Airways discriminated against Christian staffer
LONDON (AP) — British Airways discriminated against a devoutly Christian airline employee by making her remove a crucifix at work, Europe's highest court ruled Tuesday. But the court rejected discrimination cases by three other Christian claimants.
BA check-in clerk Nadia Eweida sparked a national debate in Britain over religion in public life when she was sent home in November 2006 for refusing to comply with rules banning employees from wearing visible religious symbols.
She claimed she was a victim of religious discrimination, seeking damages and compensation for lost wages.
British courts backed BA, but Eweida went to the European Court of Human Rights.
The Strasbourg, France-based court ruled Tuesday that the airline's policy "amounted to an interference with her right to manifest her religion."
Eweida, 60, said when she heard the verdict "I was jumping for joy and saying 'thank you Jesus.'"
"It's a vindication that Christians have a right to express their faith on par with other colleagues at work visibly and not be ashamed of their faith," she said.
Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted that he was "delighted that principle of wearing religious symbols at work has been upheld."
But the court ruled against Shirley Chaplin, a nurse who was told to remove a crucifix necklace at work. The judges said Chaplin's employer banned necklaces on health and safety grounds, and so asking her to remove the symbol was not excessive.
Chaplin said she was "very disappointed" by the ruling. Continued...
"But I am gratified that the cross has been recognized as a Christian symbol," she said. "I think that will give a lot of Christian workers good heart that they can show their faith in the workplace."
The judges also struck down claims by Lillian Ladele, a local authority registrar who said her Christian faith prevented her from overseeing same-sex civil partnerships, and marriage counselor Gary McFarlane, who refused to offer sex therapy to gay couples.
In both cases, the court said employers had been entitled to strike a balance between claimants' rights to manifest their religious beliefs and the rights of others not to suffer discrimination.
Shami Chakrabarti, director of human rights group Liberty, said the verdicts were "an excellent result for equal treatment, religious freedom and common sense."
She said that Eweida "had just as much a right to express her faith as a Sikh man in a turban or a Muslim woman with a headscarf."
"However the court was also right to uphold judgments in other cases that employers can expect staff not to discriminate in the discharge of duties at work."
The court's rulings are binding on the 47 member states of the Council of Europe, the continent's human rights watchdog.

Move through Fantasy and Reality while watching Asian Drama!

Description: Nojima Satoshi is a photographer who wants to photograph scenery but currently works for a modeling agency where he takes picture of his best friend, a model in his 30, Shingo. One day, Satoshi decides that he no longer wants to put up with what he doesn't want to do, and sets out to go to Canada to shoot pictures of the Canadian scenery. Living next door is a woman, Nanao, also approaching her 30, who is too busy with her work at a flower shop to consider dating. One day, a man working at a convenience store nearby stops by her flower shop and confesses his feelings for her. Satoshi and Nanao know about each other's existence by the sounds their neighbor makes through the thin wall. Even though they do pay attention to the sounds next door, they actually have never met each other, or make any attempt to meet the other person. The movie tells two separate stories that happen in parallel and focuses on the lives of two people approaching their thirties, and the doubts they have about work, life, and love.

- "The finest gift you can give to any fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"
- —Lee Wulff
The weather man, the calendar, and even the fish are all in agreement: Spring is here. The weather is getting warmer and the fishing is starting to pick up.
But before we get to the fishing there is a more important issue to report.
Fishing, and especially the gentle art of fly-fishing, is not often associated with crime. But these are hard times and nothing seems immune from the greedy and destructive reach of the hardened criminal.

Settle petal, no need to shout.

Some modern Dr Who episodes given a Target novelisation makeover.
Al, this thread is about "pictures from the interwebs." They don't have to be silly or bizarre, as the Star Wars ones I posted earlier demonstrate. It can be any picture you like, for any reason you like. There's no need for an entirely separate thread.
(EDIT: Heh, I see your raised voice seems to have draw attention from a couple of the other posters)
For interesting pics, I suggest www.thisisnotporn.net. Generally it's candid pics of celebrities, like these:
I know... am I that controversial?!? Over one extra capital letter?
And while we're at it, who is that woman molesting that little black pirate?
Very cool Russell... I will look into it for more...
The northern lights over Tromso, Norway. The Phoenix really is returning...
I find myself, asking myself this question, with an increasing...and alarming level of frequency.
Because sometimes cosplayers get it right...

Yep, the worst is forgetting the coupons. I can't believe I have never managed to actually bring that huge coupon book I bought at my daughter's school fundraiser... Deep down I think it's all a scam designed to make you buy more stuff nobody eats anyway :)
Flag as inappropriate Posted by firstname.lastname@example.com on 12th January 2009
I was talking to a friend of mine about something similar. She said that when she went to a grocery store where the food was a little cheaper, she bought more. But where she goes now, the food may be a tad more expensive, but she doesn't buy as much so her costs are lower, and I'm assuming the stuff she buys is probably healthier too. So I'm going to try that.
I don't do the coupon thing. I tried, but I just couldn't get it all together. I buy the generics and they work just fine. The coupons never ended up being cheaper anyway....Flag as inappropriate Posted by on 12th January 2009
I do pretty well by making a list of things I must have and adding things from the circulars. I sort out the coupons I need and put them with my list. I keep the extra coupons in cheap purse sized photo albums and stick them in my purse - just in case I want to treat us to something special that is not on the list. Just sticking to the list saves me a bundle if I don't impulse buy.

my life goal is saving money with clearance sales,coupons etc etc..its such a great feeling :)
Flag as inappropriate Posted by klp1965 on 11th January 2009
I think coupons are a good thing if you have the time, energy and organizational skills. But like you, I find I spend a whole heck of a lot more money if I do couponing, plus the time spent trying to find the deals that might not just be the deal I first thought they were.
Flag as inappropriate Posted by paryjeja on 10th January 2009
I agree completely. Just last month I let myself get suckered in on a K Mart ad. I found myself wandering around the store looking for things I could buy with the coupon price. I didn't even need those things! I'll go back to my list and only shopping for what I actually need and I think I will save more money that way.

What is a Pancreas?
The pancreas is a long, soft organ that lies transversely along the posterior abdominal wall, posterior to the stomach, and extends from the region of the duodenum to the spleen. This gland has two major tissue types:
1.an exocrine portion (acini) that secretes digestive enzymes that are carried through a duct to the duodenum
2.an endocrine portion (islets of Langerhans) which consists of the pancreatic islets that secrete glucagon and insulin
Endocrine tissue contains alpha, beta, and delta cells. Alpha cells in the pancreatic islets secrete the hormone glucagon in response to a low concentration of glucose in the blood. Beta cells secrete the hormone insulin in response to a high concentration of glucose in the blood. Delta cells secrete the hormone somatostatin, which inhibits insulin and glucagon secretion.
How Does the Pancreas Relate to Diabetes?
Simply put, diabetes is the result of a deficiency of insulin, which is produced in the endocrine tissue of the pancreas. In people with type 1, the body's immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells. For some reason, antibodies in people with type 1 don't recognize beta cells. They see beta cells as foreign objects and destroy them. As a result, the pancreas produces little to no insulin. The reason behind this autoimmune attack is not known. Type 1 requires the use of insulin therapy to make up for the lack of insulin produced by the pancreas.
Traditional treatment of diabetes includes the regulated use of insulin and/or oral medications, in addition to proper diet and exercise. There are also procedures that can potentially treat diabetes, such as pancreas transplantation and pancreatic islet cell transplantation. An artificial pancreas is also in development, butt is not yet available as a treatment option.

I have been studying Spanish once a week for two semesters now. We have covered two different past tenses plus future tense and I thought it might be a good time to start doing some reading on my own. Please, suggest some sources of reading material for my level of proficiency. I'm not really looking for any specific topics at this point.
Tell me more

Logan Couture sparks Sharks past Kings in Game 3
Sun, 19 May 2013 06:19:33 +0000
San Jose, CA, United States (4E Sports) - Logan Couture returned from a second period injury and scored a power-play goal 1:19 into overtime to lift the San Jose Sharks to a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings Saturday in Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinal series at HP Pavilion.
Earlier, Logan slammed into the boards awkwardly after a battle with Jeff Carter. He limped off the ice and headed to the dressing room.
However, Logan returned with 1:33 left in the period and the game tied 1-1, giving his teammates an emotional boost, and most importantly the win that cut the Kings' lead in the best-of-seven series to 2-1.
Couture took a pass from Patrick Marleau in the slot and ripped San Jose's 40th shot of the night past goaltender Jonathan Quick. It was the 19th overtime game in the Stanley Cup Playoffs this season and the fifth to be decided by a power-play goal.
"It was huge," defenseman Brad Stuart of Couture's return. "In my opinion, he's the leader of this team…To see him come back was huge. It was just a boost to the guys mentally if nothing else. And it's good to have him on the ice obviously."
Couture was not available for comment as he was getting treatment in the locker room but coach Todd McLellan expects him to play in Tuesday's Game 4.
"Based on the smile in the locker room, I assume he'll be fine," McLellan said.
Dan Boyle scored the other goal while Antti Niemi tallied 26 saves for the Sharks, who outshot the Kings, 40-27.
Jonathan Quick stopped 38 shots while Tyler Toffoli scored an unassisted goal for his first tally in the playoffs for the Kings.
The Sharks scored first when Boyle connected with a power-play goal at 1:34 of the first with assists from Patrick Marleau and Joe Pavelski.
The Kings answered with a tally from Toffoli, who capitalized on a turnover to beat Niemi on a backhander from the slot at 10:08.
After that, netminders stole the show as Quick and Niemi went save for save before Couture delivered his game-winning heroics in overtime.

We're Tumbling Over an Inequity Cliff
by Imara Jones on January 3 2013, 9:45AM
This week's fiscal cliff deal codifies the absurd notion that the super rich and the working poor are the same. In so doing, it prevents us from really fixing our racial caste system.

• 1. Television:
The television isn't a device you can simply hide away but there are some ideas out there that can make your set seem less prominent. For instance, try to distract away from the set by placing various pictures and artwork of various sizes around it.
• 2. Router / Cable Modem:
Routers and cable modems are rarely elegant in design. Their small form factor and wireless functionality makes hiding them away as simple as storing in a cabinet or as sneaky as hiding behind a book cover.
• 3. Wireless Printer:
We're used to putting our printers right by our computers from habit. But wireless printers give us the freedom to store away virtually anywhere. Try putting the printer in your office closet, maybe even next to all the paper supplies for more convenience and less visibility.
• 4. Receivers or Home Theater Components:
A living room feels more clean and sleek when you hide away all the receivers, DVRs, game systems and other home theater components. If your device is bluetooth capable and works with a bluetooth remote you can simply store your devices behind a closed cabinet with no extra fuss. You can even hide IR devices behind closed doors as well, just install an IR extension system like this one from Logitech. You can hide the IR receiver discreetly under your TV, and then position the IR blasters near your components. The system will transmit the IR signals to each of the blasters so that your devices work even in closed quarters.
• 5. Speakers:
You can even hide small computer speakers or subwoofers in furniture or cabinetry. Small subwoofers built for computers will function just fine, but bigger home theater subs will need vents and somewhere to push sound. Try covering the opening with a thick fine mesh that'll veil the speaker box yet give a path for sound to travel.
What tech do you hide?

Hello my friends, I think it was about time for me to make my:
1st hot picks for this edition of MU 2012
I have to say that the batch is growing stronger by the time
Most of them are in the same level, only a few standouts...!!!
(I don't know if Kazakhstan & Lithuania are official, but I don't care, I love them)
P.S. sorry for my corny banners, I'm depress & sick, so I'm was not in the mood
(BTW... if Spain & Serbia are official candidates, they'll be in my list)
*** ***
Potential Candidates: El Salvador, DR, Belgium, Indonesia, Thailand, Cayman Island, Malaysia, Hungary, Turkey, Korea, Finland, Israel, Gabon, Switzerland, Georgia, Paraguay etc...
*** ***
20 - Miss Peru - She has height, impact, freshness & she has a decent walk, shes one of the candidates you have to look out for, some times I compare her to Bodine, so shes a certified dark horse.
19 - Miss Poland - Gorgeous to the max, the only thing that concerns me about her is that she looks like last year's delegate from her country & that shes a bit forgettable.
18 - Miss Russia - At first I did not like her, but after a few weeks later, she blossomed into a royal queen, stunning & very elegant, but her angelical beauty IMO is more suitable for Miss World.
17 - Miss Colombia - Either you love her or you hate her, for me shes an upgrade from last year camel toe shower lol but she has some work to do, she lacks something that I can't figure out yet.
16 - Miss Philippines - Oh my Philippines, I wish I can put you higher, but as of now, I can only see a top 15/16 caliber candidate, but I know shell be ready when the moment comes, so I don't underestimate her, plus the sash shes caring now has a huge weight.
15 - Miss Jamaica - The best black delegate till now, shes fierce, beautiful, has body & she has experience, with the right training, she can follow Yendy's foot steps indeed.
14 - Miss Japan - Shes very bubbly & sexy at the same time & she has lots of charisma, some may not like her beauty, but for me is refreshing to see her as Miss Japan.
13 - Miss Mexico - Don't count her out, bitch is working her ass of & she seems to be taking good care of her body, she looks fresher & very elegant, so shes in for now.
12 - Miss Australia - Well even tho shes a downgrade from sherri sorry my friends, she has a huge queenly aura, that could work in her advantage, her body is amazing, plus shes Miss Australia.
11 - Miss South Africa - Shes very elegant & sophisticated, I put her here just because I like the other girls more, but shes a topnotch delegate, the best blonde for now.
10 - Miss Lithuania - Underrated candidate, shes a Demi Goddess, I mean look at that perfect face & if I'm not mistaken is the 1st time Lithuania debuts in MU & with this candidate I believe they're in.
9 - Miss Kazakhstan - Very underrated also, my sentimental favorite from this year, shes so unique, unconventional, exotic, angelical, elegant, gorgeous, stunning, fresh, I mean everything, IMO the best Asian delegate so far period.
8 - Miss France -Shes an upgrade from last years girl, she has a hard to ignore queenly aura & when all doll up, shes just a wow, I believe shes a strong contender.
7 - Miss Canada - Sassy, sultry, fierce, with sex appeal, shes a more refine version of Zuleyka Rivera & her stage presence & projection are huge, shes a thread.
6 - Miss Ecuador - Her face is so beautiful & angelical, I just don't like her smile, she lacks a lil bit of personality, but that's fixable, shes the prettiest Latina for the moment, lets remember Ecuador won 2 of the 4 GS, so they will be looking after her.
5 - Miss USA - Shes bubbly, endearing, she could be fierce, she could be anything, shes top 5 caliber for the moment, there's something I don't like about her, but I have to figure out what, any ways shes Miss USA & she gave the org what they wanted so expect her in the top 5.
4 - Miss Venezuela - Even tho some say shes inconsistent, I find her so regal & beautiful, Osmel is doing his homework & expect his comeback harder than ever, plus Irene is a strong candidate her self, lets see the final results of her.
3 - Miss Puerto Rico - Her beauty is not my cup of tea, but I have to admit, bitch ain't playing, shes a complete package, IMO she has that prototype beauty that MU is crowning now, she could be fierce, yet bubbly, but I don't see her winning for now.
2 - Miss Czech Republic - The cat walk diva of this bash, I like her a lot, her stage presence & projection is so huge that you can not take your eyes off of her & shes a very stunning & beautiful lady, she could easily be a Trump pick.
1 - Miss Croatia - The face of the competition as of now, shes so regal, elegant, sophisticated, stunning & she projects very well in photos, plus she has Fadil behind her, if her performance is as good as her pictures & projection, she could take it all.

With summer in sight, more of us are feeling self-conscious about our bodies -- and will enjoy the season less as a result. That's according to a new survey commissioned by Anytime Fitness.
76% of the 1,000 respondents said that they feel the same or worse about their body image this year. Another 53% plan to "cover up everything they can" at the beach. That doesn't bode well for fun in the sun.

We've all heard it before—one of the cornerstones of keeping a healthy body is keeping that body well-hydrated. Drinking water helps regulate your body temperature, transport nutrients and oxygen to the necessary parts of your body, lubricate joints, and flush out toxins and waste. But sometimes, even when we know what's best for us, it can be difficult to follow through. If you're battling with hydration, try some of these easy tricks to up your H20 intake.

With spring suddenly upon us, I'm sure many of you are looking to take your fitness to the next level. After all, we all want to look lean and fit for the summer, right? And many of us want to perform at our best when it comes to training and competition too! Whether you're looking to run a few extra miles outside, join a new boot camp class, or get back into your favorite warm weather sport, one thing is for certain—you need to adequately fuel your body.

"You won't stick to a diet that omits your favorite foods"
Writing about the importance of sleep at 3am, or gaining 22 pounds while authoring a weight loss book might not make sense. But it shows that even David Grotto struggles to put his health knowledge into practice. A Registered Dietician and author of The Best Things You Can Eat, David says that a healthy diet doesn't have to mean sacrificing your favorite foods. He hosted a live radio show on health and nutrition for over 10 years along with a health-focused television show for 2 years. David calls himself an "Edutainer" - he enjoys educating people through entertainment.

"My body was telling me something. Hint: It always does"
Have a migraine? Upset stomach? Sore joints? It could be that your body is trying to communicate with you. Functional Medicine looks at the core problem of a symptom, rather than a "quick fix." Sometimes it requires altering your diet or cutting out certain daily items from your routine. Either way, its not easy but Katie Jasper is here to shed light on this new approach to helping people feel better.

Cropped Cable Pullover with Detachable Turtleneck *** SMALL ***
Quantity in Basket:
$100.00Shipping Weight:
3.00 poundsThis gorgeous, cold-weather sweater was created by designer Dawn Brocco of Saugerties, NY. It requires intermediate skills. The kit uses double strands of Dusty Mallard, but any of our worsted weight dyed colors can be substituted in the kit. The double strand concept allows for many options, including using two similar shades to create subtle color variations. The pattern has instructions that include an optional turtleneck, which requires an extra skein of yarn. If you wish to order this kit in another color or combination of colors, simply send me an email message with your specifications to email@example.com. It will then be customized accordingly. The kit comes in a vinyl bag with the pattern and color photos in a protective sleeve, and 8 skeins of yarn.
This design is quick and easy to knit. There are only three cable patterns centered on the front. The back and sleeves are in stockintette. To give structure to the soft wool yarn, as well as a strong vertical element, I used twisted ribbing for the lower edge, cuffs, neck edge and separate turtleneck. Only the knit stitches are twisted, so it is also not difficult to knit.
This yarn is wonderfully soft, as it is made from 90% Delaine Merino and 10% kid mohair, but it is not a hairy yarn, as one would expect with mohair content. The soft kid mohair just adds a touch of silkiness. The yarn is used doubled, to make this a cozy, warm sweater that should be enjoyed for many years!

The first general session of the League convention kicked off with a bang...with Fred Kent leading the charge about how to make better places and better communities! Fred is the founder and President of Project for Public Spaces (PPS), a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people create and sustain public places that build communities. League members saw examples of what PPS is doing to help communities throughout the world, and the examples were stunning. Here in the U.S., PPS has assisted communities like Chicago and New York in moving their communities to the 21st century. They also have worked with Detriot to make Campus Martius Park a place where people want to be and congergate. They really know their stuff, and Fred showed it in his presentation!

Adapting a book, written essentially without narrative and with language largely comprised of nonsense, would present even the most imaginative directors with great problems.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, like the best of the attempts to recreate Alice's adventures outside its literary source, succeeds tonally, if not narratively to follow the arc of the storyline. The costumes that turn the cast of stars into Wonderland's creatures are strange, funny and occasionally terrifying, and give the film a weirdness more akin to Jan Svankmier's animated adaptation 'Alice', or American McGee's Alice, the cult PC video game. Scenes that stand out are the wonderful tea party sequence, where the superbly cast Peter Sellers and Dudley Moore shine as the March Hare and Dormouse, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Robert Helpmann's Hatter is straight out of the Tenniel illustrations.
The film is strange, punctured with songs that range from charming to unmemorable, dotted with an inherent creepiness that benefits the story's odd origins and led by an Alice who is suitable at best. As adaptations go this is far greater than the watered down Disney effort, and goes a lot further to try and unravel the twisted world that Carrol created. Not perfect by any means, but you'd be hard pressed to find a film more full of strikingly comic, bizarre and on occasion disturbing imagery.

It is better to die on your feet, than to live on your knees.
Gabriel Lucas Michaels.
Daken - Ancient Mayan for "Beast"
Danger Rank:
182 CM tall. 84 KG heavy. Very well toned. He has a few scars and bruises.
He always wears his two pendants, one pentagram, and one cross, both of them made out of pure iron.
He usually wears nothing more fancy than a rather typical outfit. He does however always keep a pair of black-gloves on.
Gabriel is a serious young man, he is a soldier, both in heart and body. He comes off as bitter and quite the party-pooper, often demanding people to be more serious. He believes in protecting people, not just his people, but all people. However, as the soldier he is, he knows that war has it's costs, that there is collateral damage. He tries the best he can to protect people he care about. He is a Christian through and through, and prays for friends and foes alike, wishing them both the best, both in this life, and the next. Contrary to popular belief, his rather animalistic powers does not alter his personality.
Powers Of The Cheetah:
According to what Remy has told him, his mutation is that of a cheetah, the dexterity and the claws but also it's never ending will to hunt.
Super Human Senses:
He has enhanced smell and sight, that is many times superior to that of a human.
Super Human Dexterity
"Perfection" as some would've called it. The ability to never trip, to never fumble. The complete lack of being clumsy. (Sidebar: No, this does not mean perfect accuracy.)
Healing Factor:
His body is able to heal from wounds at an incredible rate, however, compared to the man of similar powers as himself, Gabriel's healing is slow. This also applies to his regeneration of Stamina.
Retractable Vibranium Claws:
He is able to retract two 40 CM long Blades from his hands, very much akin to that of Weapon X. However, his claws are composed of a different component, put into him already as a child. The vibranium has a lighter mass, and his vibranium only coats his bones, making them harder to brake, but not unbreakable. However, unlike Adamantium, Vibranium is "Bendable" To Gabes will, hence, he can make his claws bend to hold onto things, and such.
Multi-Lingual: He speaks 4 different languages, including Spanish, English, Hebrew and Arabic.
Free-Running: Argentina had it's perks with helping him raise his acrobatic skills.
Martial Arts: He has basic training in Kaw Magra and in Kick Boxing, not much to hang in the tree besides that.
Tactician: Having studied a vast amount of historical battles, he has a good sense for tactics.
Born in Lawrence, his mother was a Hispanic woman, and his father was a War-Vet. His mother left not too long after his birth. His father began an alcoholic abuse, that went out over Gabriel, whom constantly took the beating, knowing there was nothing he could do. Well, that is, till one day, when suddenly, his father was beating him more than usual, and in one brutal swipe, he slashed his father over the face, with the claws that had sprouted from his hands.
He fled from home, following this, as his father called the UO, whom began hunting him. He fled to Argentina, where he spent his pre-teens and early teens, running with a couple of mutant gangs, just trying to make ends meet. He ran from the UO, as best as he could. Till the M.H.S came at them. One sentinel, and Rio was in ruins, his gang was dead, and the only reason he survived was because that a Cajun saved his life.
That was two years ago, and he has stuck with the man since then, doing his best to serve the cause for equality and peace.

Plano Star-courier > News
City budget includes pay raises, new employees
By Bill Conrad,
Published: Tuesday, September 11, 2012 10:26 PM CDT
City employees will have a little extra in their paychecks next year thanks to across-the-board raises implemented by the Plano City Council.
The raises were included in the $425 million budget approved Monday night, a budget that doesn't include a property tax rate increase. Non-civil service employees will receive a 3-percent raise, while civil service employees will get 2 percent. The move comes on the heels of a 2-percent raise given to all employees last year.
"We have cut over 100 positions over the last three or four budget years totaling $39 million," said City Manager Bruce Glasscock. "Part of what we are doing is making sure we remain competitive and we are able to retain the employees that we have and that we can attract the best employees we can attract."
On top of the raises, the budget also earmarks $1.9 million for labor and skilled workers. Budget Director Karen Rhodes-Whitley said workers have been taking jobs in other cities for as little as 25 cents more an hour, and this is a way to potentially put a halt to the exodus. While the program to dole out the $1.9 million has not been officially adopted, Rhodes-Whitley said it could result in workers who pass their evaluations receiving small raises in order to keep them in Plano.
"We have spent time and money training them, we don't want to lose them," she said.
The city will also hire 30 new employees during the upcoming fiscal year, including 15 firefighters and 15 employees split between the police department and public works.
"We want to restore services in those areas where we have made reductions and were starting to see some diminished service levels," Glasscock said. "The departments were saying we needed to put crews back into public works for sidewalk and street repairs as well as sewer line inspections and parks monitoring."
The new positions and raises will be paid for without raising taxes, thanks to an increase in revenue from property taxes and sales taxes, Glasscock said, adding that the city is seeing a growth in new property development.
For the upcoming budget year, $81.5 million in revenue, or 38 percent of the city's total revenue, comes from property taxes, while $59 million, 28 percent, comes from sales tax. The remaining $71.8 million comes from a combination of other revenues, budget documents show.
The city's new fiscal year begins Oct. 1.

Your Ultimate Guide to Concealer
Turns out the secret to having flawless skin isn't getting regular facials and using $150 La Mer moisturizer. It's knowing how to apply concealer
How to conceal redness around the nose
You need: cream concealer + latex sponge+ loose powderHow to apply: Since the area around your nose gets oily quickly, Dedivanovic recommends using an oil-free cream concealer, which "will provide heavier coverage. As you get oily during the day, concealer darkens so you want to use a concealer that has a dry consistency," he says. We recommend Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer, $23.
Use your ring finger to pat and blend the concealer into the crease around the nose. Then take your damp makeup sponge, dip in loose powder, and blend. Try Physician's Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Airbrushing Loose Powder SPF 30, $13.95 Dedivanovic says this is important, because "a lot of times the foundation and concealer are two different products with different finishes, so you have to blend the two together."

NAfME is going digital! To help save time, money, and the environment, we are doing our best to end the use of paper applications. Joining or renewing online with a credit card is the most efficient and most secure method. We do offer two other options:
- Need to pay with a check or purchase order? Log in, complete your application online, and you'll be prompted to print an invoice which you can mail to us with a check or purchase order.
- No access to a printer or just prefer not to do an online transaction? Call 800-336-3768 to pay with a credit card over the phone or to have a membership invoice emailed, faxed or mailed to you.
