Chloe and Anita Bowes are best friends. The two are constantly on the go, but Bowes says that her dog Chloe is often mistaken as a male, so she embraces her feminine side with a collar.
"It shouldn't be tight, it should be nice and loose," Bowes said.
For the past 11 years she's been making brightly colored collars for Chloe. It wasn't until five years ago after an injury that she started Big Dog Neckwear with her daughter Jenny. "She loves to chase bunnies and squirrels but never get them so one day while we're running she went one way and my arm went the other way and tore my bicep, so I had a lot of down time," Bowes said.
During that down time Bowes crafted what she says is the perfect collar for big dogs. It's soft, tightens around the dogs whole neck and is machine washable. "It's easy to come off, easy to go on, it's washable, it does a little tug to tighten," she said.
Bowes mixes and matches recycled fabric and sews it together in her Cabot home. "I love to sew -- it's my favorite thing," she said.
This year the collar business started to take off. Burton Snowboard approached Big Dog Neckware to see if they could turn returned or damaged product into Burton collars. "We did some samples and they loved them," Bowes said. "We go to the warehouse and look through all the product that's returned and pick out things that we think could make great collars. And the fabric is wonderful because it's waterproof," Bowes said.
Now Bowes cuts up high-end merchandise so people's pooches can feel the Burton love too. "The first time I did that I was like, oh I'd like to wear this," she said.
In the past month she's made over 130 collars that are sold at Burton's flagship stores around the country. Spruce Mortgage has also signed on -- ordering 100 collars as a marketing tool. "Everybody leaves their dog at home but wants to bring something home to them that's handmade and from Vermont," she said.
The collars retail for $18.

Johnny Blade -The heavy side of sabbath shows up here and this track sounds like a better Iron Man. Very movig too! 90% 3. Junior's Eyes -A ballod that lost me. Didn't like it as well as the next track but showed the feelings of Ozzy during his time of loss. 75% 4. A Hard Road -The best ballod of this album and the second best ballod of Black Sabbath ever.

Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Why 'little'? Well, because of 'Vol 4′, 'Sabotage', and so on… It doesn't mean anything, though; in fact, 'little' is an understatement. This album is refreshing! Still sounds great after all these years! And it even captured a younger audience. Underrated, unjustly put down, this is a glorious conclusion of the classic and unrepeated Osbourne era. I must say, I listen to this wonder on a daily basis and still can't get enough of it… It is the music, of course, the maturity of the band, a solid Ozzy performance, a unique feeling and some amazing sounds. Experimentation, synthesizers, improvisational grand piano, saxophones… Where else can you hear an instrumental like 'Breakout'?. Not musical taste, the critics said. Well, there is a powerful taste here, which goes all the way back to the grand-band jazz! Listen to this piece carefully, with the volume turned high: Only then you can capture its meaning… And the rest of the songs? Sheer delight, I wouldn't know where to start: The title track is a great kick-off song, fast, powerful and captivating. 'Junior's Eyes' totally captured my heart, when my best friend died in a motorcycle accident in Europe many years ago… 'Johnny Blade', the portrait of a street-fighter, is so powerful and convincing that makes you wonder why this album received so many bad reviews. As I mentioned in my review of 'Technical Ecstasy' the social references of NSD are quite prominent, however, this CD is also spirituality at its best. This spirituality is beautifully expressed in 'Air dance', the mystical masterpiece of the album. Nice piano work, haunting, acoustic/electric combinations, followed by a delightful boogie conclusion.As I hinted above, a comparison with some of the previous classic Sabbath albums would be unfair. This is not exactly heavy metal. Experimental hard rock may be the best description of NSD. A new musical direction, perhaps. The Sabbath have always been pioneers of the genre. And what genre? Practically their own…'Shock Wave': Pleasant, strong, changes themes a few times. 'Over to You': Starts upbeat, turns to melancholic, with the haunting piano of 'Air Dance' continuing here… A nice song. 'Swinging the Chain' and 'A Hard Road' are generally considered the 'lowest' moments of the CD. I won't argue with the statement, I still like, though, the beat and raw sound of the closing 'Swinging the Chain', Ward's vocals and the harmonica that hasn't played since 'The Wizard'. What else is there to say? Only this: Don't miss this album for anything, or you'll be missing one of the most innovative and trully amazing Sabbath albums ever and also, one of the best hard rock originals ever created. Enjoy!
I bought the Castle Remaster Edition (Cstle; ASIN: B000005RFN) and was very impressed with the packaging and sound quality. Lots of great colour and black/white photos along with complete lyrics and all artwork from the original album. In addition, each album has a unique fact-laden essay about the band during the circumstances surrounding each album.The remastering is very crisp and clean as I've given this album the headphones test and it passed with flying colours. The songs have a dynamic sound as opposed to the Warner Brothers edition where everything sounds flat.As for the music, Sabbath no longer plods along with heavy riffs that pummel their listeners into submission… a fact that turned many listeners off to this album as well as its predecessor, Technical Ecstasy. Instead, Sabbath turned the speed up a notch and used more blues oriented riffs and somber melodies. Even so, at times the music sounds lost and dark, like in a drugged haze. The album rocks, but at a slightly faster pace than their older albums. And yes, that's Bill Ward singing on the last track!Never Say Die is not perfect (in Sabbath's sense) but it's better than the best of those influenced by Sabbath.I would HIGHLY recommend the Castle edition for all the Sabbath albums as the sound quality is superior, the artwork is great and the extra photos and lyrics are everything you could wish for!
Apparently, most Sabbath fans hate Never Say Die, and in fact Technical Ecstasy as well. I couldn't disagree more. These last two albums (for after Ozzy left, it wasn't really Sabbath anymore, was it?) let show the troubles the band was having, but that doesn't stop them from being great music. "Johnny Blade", "Air Dance", "Junior's Eyes", and "Shock Wave" top my list of great songs from this record. Maybe it's that some listeners pigeonhole Sabbath after hearing stuff from Paranoid, Masters of Reality, et cetera, and don't take the time to consider all 8 albums as a whole. If you sat down and listened carefully to all 8 in a row, you could hear the progression from one to the next. Their self-titled debut is similar to Paranoid, which is similar to Master of Reality, which is similar to Volume 4, but the first LP and Vol4 are not similar AT ALL. Black Sabbath experienced a very complex musical progression, and it deserves to be considered as a whole. And when considered thus, Never Say Die makes a fitting ending.
It always facinates me to hear the guys in Sabbath say they didn't care for albums like Sabatoge and Never Say Die. I think they remember the events surrounding the albums more than the actual music. Never Say Die is a fantastic album no matter what anyone says. You really won't find the classic sludge of Master of Reality on Never Say Die but you will find Sabbath acting like a real group and expanding on different styles in the same manner Zeppelin did. If Sabbath released a new album you can bet it would be a bit more 'by the numbers' and that would be fine since we all want a new Sabbath album anyway. But this is probably the most diverse album Sabbath ever did. Does this mean this is the quinissential Sabbath album? Of course not. But it does mean it's a great album to really hear what Sabbath was capable of, regardless if you dig their ideas at the time. Once Ozzy was gone, Sabbath took a step in the new metal sound of the time and an album like Never Say Die would never be a possibility following this. Buy this album and dig it.

According to MMA Weekly's rumors section, a fight between Matt "Chipper" Riddle and Dante Rivera has been scheduled for The Ultimate Fighter 7 Finale. The two jokingly talked trash to one another inside the house and now it looks like they will get to go at it inside the cage.
Riddle, a Team Rampage member, beat a talented jiu jitsu guy in Dan Simmler, knocking him out and breaking his jaw in the opening bouts. That victory got him into the house but then he lost in a spirited affair to Tim Credeur in the prelims, a performance which earned him an XBox 360.
Rivera beat John Wood via kimura in the first round of the opening bouts to win his way into the house. He then went on to beat Brandon Sene via decision in the prelims but suffered a loss at the hands of Jesse Taylor during the quarterfinals.
I am amped about this fight. Of the fights on TUF this season, Riddle's performance was great. Although he lost, I think he had that "something" that defines potential.
Methinks Dante is in for a long night unless he can force this to the ground and submit "chipper".

darkmetal..your powers are on fire tonight. I'm heading to vegas, who is going to win the Superbowl??
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
If Riddle fights the way we've seen him fight then he will most definitely beat Dante.
We'll see how it goes though, experience has a way of making "sure fire wins" into "dissapointing losses".
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
I am confirming this. I know riddle and he's been preparing for this fight since he got back.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Yeah, Riddle has been training at Arizona Combat Sports so I think we will see a much more improved Matt Riddle. Not that he was bad or anything but just imagine the training he's got in the 6 weeks of being at the house then going to a bigger camp after the show.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
My money's on Riddle, but ya never know. Dante has a mental edge, more polished BJJ, but physically is the smaller, weaker wrestler & striker, and older fighter. Riddle's been training six hours a day, six days a week with the new team. Dante claims to always fight and train the same. If this is the case, I think he's in for a tough night.

I'm just amazed that she still has all her fingertips.
Did you see the tomato at the end and how she was flattening it to cut it (oops)... I mean to squish it with her knife. More juice on the board than in the tomato.
As if it wasn't bad enough, that guy mollusk wades in to tell us why a non serrated knife sharp enough to slice a tomato, will be dull after one tomato. Tells us that his 30 year old Henckels knives are the greatest (tho' he only keeps one sharp enough to cut a tomato) and tries to make everyone else feel stupid. I love people who are so stupid/ignorant....they don't know it. <g.
Don't forget to take out the wooden part! huh!?
Why do I read the damn youtube comments?! Every time I do it, and every time I stuff the feelings a little further down inside...

Hmmm...you want to use a wooden cutting board because it retains the tomato juice which you can use for other recipes. So, a wooden cutting board is like a sponge/Tupperware combo then? Next time I carve some proteins I'll have to remember to wring the jus out of the board when I'm finished.

Still sipping Starbucks, we ease out of the New York Skyports Marina, the primary seaplane base for Manhattan, tucked in next to FDR Drive at East 23rd Street. It's a gorgeous summer morning, just one day before the July Fourth holiday — the sort of morning when one wouldn't mind a long run, but that's just not necessary. In fact, in little more than five minutes, Capt. Tony DiLernia is anchoring up his 26-foot Maycraft cuddy in the East River. (He now runs a brand-new, very well-outfitted and beamy 34-foot Island Hopper.)
Although we're there to fish, we out-of-towners can't stop gaping at the magnificent skyline view of the Big Apple against the clear blue sky. Meanwhile, DiLernia has idled down in the gentle current in one of his favorite go-to spots, just off the United Nations Building. As he ties off the anchor and the boat swings tight, he points to the top of one of the skyscrapers. "That's where the big fight scene in Spider‑Man was filmed," he says.
But immediately, he turns his attention to the task at hand, chunking up fresh bunker (menhaden) and threading them onto circle hooks just so. The fact that DiLernia's been doing this for not years but decades is evident: Within an hour or so, we have missed a strike and had two good fish on, one coming off midway through the fight and the other right at the boat. Fortunately, our fourth time was the charm, giving us the chance to admire in the net a bass just south of 30 pounds.
Pogy Pointers
DiLernia's Rocket Charters offers anglers a unique experience both by virtue of its prime location (the dock is accessible to anglers via a short taxi ride from most of Manhattan; then, the fishing grounds are but a very short ride away) and by its skipper. No one knows the busy, current-swept waters around New York — after so many years of navigating and fishing them by day and night — better than DiLernia.
DiLernia, who's also director of maritime technology at Kingsborough Community College, is not only a consummate skipper but a savvy master of striped bass fishing as well. On that basis, I thought I'd see if I could pick up a few pointers on how DiLernia connects with some very hefty bass (he's caught them better than 50 pounds).
Bait accounts for roughly 80 percent of the stripers taken on Rocket Charters. When we fished with DiLernia in early July, the options were menhaden, menhaden or menhaden. The oily baitfish remains his offering of choice until eel fishing starts in the fall.
And it was very fresh. That, says DiLernia, is key.
"Frozen bunker's okay for blues, but not so great for bass," he says. You can, however, use your fresh bait a second or even third day by putting them in a brine with kosher salt.
Breakaway Baits
The skipper prefers chunks to whole fish and, at that, always likes the head best. His hook of choice: an Eagle Claw Circle Sea 10/0. Lots of striper specialists still use J hooks, but DiLernia prefers circles, not only for all the usual reasons but also because they allow him to fish with reels in gear. Often currents get strong enough that the coefficient of friction of a reel in free spool with clicker on isn't enough to keep lines from running out. With circle hooks, that's not a problem, nor is hooking fish, as a rule.
DiLernia runs the circle hook through the top of the head where it was sliced from the body.
"Lots of guys will put the hook through the lips," DiLernia says. But when a fish grabs the bait, he explains, it's likely to stay on the hook. DiLernia hooks it to come off and get out of the way. "It ought to tear out easily so the hook comes out of the bait's head when the striper is swimming away with it. Then the hook should slide into the fish's jaw hinge," he explains. "And that's just what usually happens."
When no head is available, he'll go to a body chunk — but his pièce de résistance is adding the pogy's heart onto the hook. "I'm convinced the blood in the heart attracts stripers," he says simply.
Timing the Tides
According to DiLernia, spring through midsummer is prime time for bunker fishing. Tides are always a prime factor for him, and in this case, he wants to be anchored up and fishing about a half-hour after the high slack tide: The next couple of hours, with boat and baits sitting still in the moderate current, will produce the hottest bite.
Then, well into the ebb, the current will be running too fast to hold bottom without ungodly amounts of weight. "That's when we drift and bounce lead-heads on the bottom until late in the ebb when the current slows. Then we'll go back to fishing bait at anchor."
Once the tide nears slack, and the boat starts swinging on the anchor "so the baits slide all over the bottom," it's time to troll deep divers. DiLernia's choice of lures: big Mann's Stretch or Stretch Plus and Yo-Zuri Hydro Magnum Deep Divers. Usually, he'll do this just until shortly after the tide turns: Then the cycle begins again with a couple of hours fishing bait.
DiLernia notes that tides vary tremendously around New York. For example, depending on the tidal pattern, he might fish the East River for the first hour and a half of the ebb, and then run quickly down to the Hudson River to fish off the Statue of Liberty, catching the early ebb there. By the time the current's starting to get too strong there, the East River is just beginning to slow down again.
DiLernia proudly holds up the big, complex-looking watch on his wrist. "It's a Reactor Graviton," and he says it's been a huge factor in maximizing his efficiency fishing the area per tidal flow. It's programmed to tell him just what the tide is doing at any day, any moment, in the East River, the Hudson, Sandy Hook and West Sound.

Skype will be thoroughly integrated with Microsoft's Lync communications software, assuming regulators approve the $8.5 billion acquisition, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said this week.
Lync, which is being sold both as a server product and a cloud-based service, will not lose any prominence in the Microsoft software lineup once Skype comes on board, Ballmer said in a keynote at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference in Los Angeles.
[ Discover what's new in business applications with InfoWorld's Technology: Applications newsletter. | Get the latest insight on the tech news that matters from InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog. ]
Microsoft Lync: Take to the cloud or keep it in-house?
"With the combination of the power of Lync and Skype under the same umbrella, we think we're going to be able to do even more fantastic things together," Ballmer said.
Small businesses and enterprises deploying Lync will gain a secure form of communication with consumers and businesses because of integration between Lync and Skype, the latter of which offers Internet-based chats and voice and video calls, he said.
"I've been asked by partners if this Skype acquisition somehow means we're not serious or enthusiastic about Lync," Ballmer said. "Quite to the contrary. One of the great motivations in acquiring Skype is to enable the enterprise to have all the control it wants in communication and collaboration through Active Directory and Lync, and yet be able to connect people within enterprises to consumers, businesses and trading partners around the world. Lync, in some sense with Skype is a strategy that will allow the consumerization of IT to really proceed with full vim and vigor."
Microsoft's purchase of Skype is still waiting for regulatory approval, so the integration between Lync and Skype can't happen yet.
"Just like with any big acquisition, we have contact with Skype, certainly," Kirk Gregersen, Lync senior director, told Network World in an interview after Ballmer's speech. "We just can't start the integration until regulators have approved things."
Gregersen says he's not a Skype user himself, but that "for a lot of people there is obviously great value, for the 600 million Skype users out there. As Steve said, connecting all these people is great value both for the enterprise customers and those consumers out there."
Lync Server is positioned as a replacement for legacy PBX phone systems, and Ballmer praised the product's momentum. Lync provides "eye candy" to enterprise customers just as Xbox Kinect does to the consumer market, he said.
"Seventy percent of the Fortune 500 is now on Lync," Ballmer said. "Certainly if you look at a product from Microsoft that is growing most quickly, it is Lync in the enterprise."
While the exact nature of Skype's future integration with Lync remains unclear, there is also uncertainty over when the cloud-based version of Lync will become as robust as its on-premises sibling.
Lync Online, part of Office 365, is not yet a full PBX replacement, Microsoft acknowledges. The company's advice for Office 365 customers who want a robust unified communications platform is to deploy Lync Server within their own networks.

Jon Schaeffer takes you around town today.
Schlotzky's has a new building--new roommate--and new look. The sandwich specialty shop will be adding a Cinnabon to the mix at it's new location next to the subway on state street. Schlotzky's moved from its old location on interstate avenue to the beige building that will open up to the public Sunday. Hours will be 11 AM to 9 PM Mon-sat. and 11 to 8 on Sunday. It will also have a new way to schlotzky's to get your food a little quicker. Bill Shalhoob/ owner Schlotzky's "More importantly we got a drive thru which everyone had been asking for and is really needed so those are the two reasons that we moved to get a drive through and to increase our capacity we had just out grown the old spot." There is also space for a third vendor--it could possibly be a Carvel Ice cream that goes in. The Schlotzky's--Cinnabon will open July 1st.
Looking for an ice cold beer? JL beers will soon start their construction on their building at 217 3rd St in downtown Bismarck.

Traffic and Travel Advisories
Jersey City is only 14.7 square miles in area, but it contains over a hundred miles in roads. Normally it's pretty simple to get from one place to another, and while the City encourages people to use our many public transportation options, sometimes you do just have to take the car.
Usually, traffic flows pretty well. There are those occasions, however, whether planned or unplan- ned, which cause street closings and traffic diversions. Lets face it—whether you're commuting to work, visiting the in-laws, or just trying to get the kids to school on time, it's helpful to know which routes to avoid and which ones to take before you set out. Check out the links below for current traffic and travel advisories.North East Grid Electric Transmission Reliability Project UpdateFor April 3rd & 5thPSE&G will be working at these manhole locations on the following dates:Thursday, April 3, 2014• Senate Place between Newark Ave. & Van WinkleSaturday, April 5, 2014• Van Winkle Ave. between Tonnelle & Skillman • Newark Ave. near Kennedy Boulevard • Newark Ave. near Pavonia Ave. • Monmouth Street near Newark Ave.This work is being done to support the PSE&G North East Grid (NE Grid) Electric Transmission Reliability Project, www.pseg.com/negrid.
If possible, motorists are asked to consider alternate routes; and, PSE&G reminds motorists to slow down and be alert when driving near the work zone.Please feel free to post the traffic advisory on your social media accounts and to provide this email address, firstname.lastname@example.com, and the project toll-free number, 1-877-678-5784, to your neighbors or colleagues who may want to seek additional information about the project or to be added to the "traffic advisory" distribution list.Red Light Cameras Throughout Jersey City!

What's the biggest problem with communication in your department?"Nemo Plus Voluptatis Quam Nos Habant"
The Code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules.
Where to start..
I have been our departments communication officer/lasion to the countywide 911 system for 3 years and there are several thing that stand out has problems.
1. A lack of proper training ( the only training recieved is OJT, which if trained correctly is an ok system..but bad habits and a disreguard for sog's can muck up the entire communication office)
2. Creative Dispatch 101 ...this happens when there is no supervision in the room.
3. A lack of funding to upgrade and modernize ( this is a problem for the 911 center has well as the local responders)
4. Centers shouldn't be controled by law enforcement ( Centers should be independently controlled by county goverment with all Fire,Police and EMS having an equal say in policys and procedures)
5. Interoperability/Lack of channels/Repeaters ( see # 3)
6. Professionalize ( give them the training and the wages that will make them feel more professional)IACOJ Membership 2002

The beatings will continue until the morale improves
Ltmdepas3280 has got it down pretty good.
Being a civilian has nothing to do with any of it. Firefighters should be fighting fires just like the police should be policing. Leave the comm center to the Telecommunicators. These 3 professions are too complex for any one person to be doing both. That would explain why, when recently, my officers have been coming into our new facility their eyes glaze over when they see our 5 computer monitors with CAD, phones, radio, GPS mapping/AVL, etc... and they admit to not wanting to and not being able to do my job. If they would like to quit their job and think they can make it through our 14+ weeks of training, that's up to them.
But back to what Lt said,
My agency is run by a Director (a civilian, as if that matters). But the Board is made up of him, a police and fire chief from all of the cities we handle and also an Alderman from each of the cities.
Our Director has been involved with 911 and other emergency radio communications since 1976. Putting some type of law enforcement official or fire offical in charge of a modern 911 center is probably one of the worst things you can do as they have grown up learning about their own profession, not the world of communications and 911 which is an entity in and of itself.
Anyway, while the Director makes the day to day decisions, budgets have to be approved by the board as does any other major decision. Policies are discussed by and voted on by all board members and approved as needed.
This seems to be the best way to do things as the effects it may have in any aspect to the public safety community can be discussed amongst these individuals before it is enacted.
Proper training is indeed a problem. That comes from one of two places:
1. A person in charge of communications that shouldn't be and has no idea what public safety communications should be like.
2. Improper funding/allocation to the comm center for those training classes and not hiring a full time Training Coordinator.
Having proper training would also alleviate problems with not following established SOP's.
Lack of repeaters - see lack of proper funding.
Professionalize - Get people's thought processes out of the 60's thinking that officers should be working dispatch. That way of thinking is archaic and simply doesn't work anymore and never will. Working in the comm center isn't talking to the caller for 5 seconds and talking on a CB radio with a boom mic anymore. It's learning SOP's for multiple towns, operating state and federal computer systems, and learning to work multi-million dollar computer based CAD, phone and radio systems while dealing with callers in a professional manner using all of the proper training you've received from the multitude of classes you've attended assuming you work for a good agency. (Examples of classes I've attended that I need for my profession: School violence situations, HazMat situations, Terrorism and Homeland Security, Severe weather, Suicide prevention, Domestic violence, Hostage negotiation, Crisis communications and several more I've forgotten.)
Show respect to the "civilians" that deal with cranky burned out field units that show their lifelines no respect and don't understand what a hard and stressful profession they work in.

Show respect to the "civilians" that deal with cranky burned out field units that show their lifelines no respect and don't understand what a hard and stressful profession they work in.
The problem is when politians decide to "save money" by replacing dispatch qualified uniformed personnell with civilians. That mind set never results in quality dispatching. You get what you pay for. Starting out with the premise that you're going to pay your civilian dispatchers substantially less than the professional dispatchers you already have can only result in poor dispatching.
In our case, I'd put the worst firefighter dispatcher we had up against the best civilian dispatcher we have now any day of the week.
Whereas we used to have knowledgable call takers capable of asking the right questions and making informed dispatch choices, we now have little better than trained monkeys who can only be trusted to distinguish between the broadest categories of response. And even then it generally takes much longer from call to dispatch than it ever did before.
Whereas our FD dispatchers used to be an integral part of our response and logistical support, our current civilian dispatchers are only barely able to tone out alarms and log apparatus on and off the air. Lifelines? I'd rather rely on a lucky rabbit's foot than gamble on one of our dispatchers having a clue.
But what can we expect from somebody being paid less than the janitor?"Nemo Plus Voluptatis Quam Nos Habant"
The Code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules.
Im sorry for you and your agency. We have nothing like that around here.
Most all agencies (fire, ems and law) in our state use civillian dispatchers and while most do an average job there are those that should look elsewhere for employment. There are also those who do an exceptional job day in and day out. It is a training issue and a pay issue.
A single biggest issues (other than training) is comm centers controlled by Law Enforcement agencies. A police officer checking out the donut shop will get answered before a fire unit requesting assistance.
The next problem is sending a law enforcement officer to "check" out a fire before dispatching the FD. I asked them if they would send us (FD) out to check on drunk drivers before sending a cop..... of course they thought that was stupid...
Sometimes, by nature, dispatchers want to make decisions, but there are situation where time does not allow the thinking process.. just dispatch the units. Follow the SOP/Policy/SOG...whatever you call it.
New dispatchers being tainted by the "Old Salts" Our new dispatchers receive good training in their state required basic class, but once on the job, sitting with a seasoned dispatcher doing OJT... they often get told "I know they taught you that at the academy, but we dont do it that way here" or "Thats not important"Buckle Up, Slow Down, Arrive Alive

To DeputyMarshal:
Which department are you with because it must be WAY over staffed.
The State Police here in CT are talking about pulling thier dispatchers from the field (about 80) and replacing them with Troopers. The agency says they are already about 47 short. Now they want to pull another 72 -/+ to work the desk. Thats about 120 troopers off the road to answer phones.
As a tax payer in this state I would be outraged if this happened. I pay for these guys to go to the academy and protect our citizens traveling on the roads.

Overstaffed? I think not. Six on-duty firefighters and on-call roulette for response.
Combined dispatch (now out of the PD) has two or occasionally three civilian dispatchers."Nemo Plus Voluptatis Quam Nos Habant"

-Dead spots the repeaters don't cover well.
-Dispatchers who work for the Sheriff's Office...FD is the "red headed stepchild" and our issues and attempts to establish standardized dispatch procedures take a back seat to the S.O.'s needs. Also, when dispatchers screw up or just need some "redirection", there's no accountability to the fire departments....if the Sheriff is happy with them, everything's great...FD has no authority over them.
-Firefighters who DON'T HAVE THEIR RADIOS WITH THEM! I preach this all the time but still I arrive on a call and can't talk to the interior team because THEY DIDN'T BRING A RADIO IN WITH THEM! ( I actually had a new officer a while back who, when asked why he didn't have his radio with him inside the structure, replied that he didn't think they were supposed to bring them inside a fire....they're expensive, y'know.... )
-Sending a deputy to "investigate" reports of smoke, motor vehicle accidents, etc. ( I know, sometimes it's just a fender-bender that needs a traffic report, but last week we responded to an overturned vehicle where they sent a deputy first...he called for us because the car was smoking....I mean, overturned vehicle? Good potential for injuries, don't ya think? )Chief Dwayne LeBlanc

My dream and I hope you don't find this too crazy is that I would like the people of this community to feel that if, God forbid, there were a fire, calling the fire department would actually be a wise thing to do. You can't have people, if their houses are burning down, saying, 'Whatever you do, don't call the fire department!' That would be bad."

internal and external
Internally, we have a supervisor that is spineless in standing up for the rights of dispatchers. Hired for her inability to say no and to think on her own. Our supervisor allows other departments to continually dump their work on us. We get stacks of files meaning hours are spent doing clerical work for the office secretaries. We must leave our post to go to the jail for matron duties, leaving our dispatch center short handed at best. Some times while we have to perform the matron duties we leave an untrained jailer at the post alone. Poor leadership, insecurity of the supervisor and major lack management skills, the supervisor resorts micro-management for she fears anyone that might have an idea or suggestion for improvement due to her personal lack of dispatching ability. Our supervisor is more worried about the popularity contest then the effeteness of the dispatch center.
Other internal problems would include the lack of any real training. The supervisor will lie on the EMD recertification hours because she does not have the ability to fight for the training hours needed to maintain our training level. Poor morale among the dispatcher due to favoritism, unfair scheduling, unfair handling of overtime and holiday pay between dispatchers. Unfair treatment of dispatchers in matters of disciple, correction of work completed, and quality of work.
Externally, the lack and disregard of those responding to proper radio technique: ex are mumbling over the radio, long winded statement, open mic which hampers the ability of those needing to communicate information to dispatch, the inability of responders to know the area they are responding with in and to scared to read a map, responders calling on a landline to as for directions while dispatchers are trying to give prearrival instructions, the lack of department head and commissioner that have no understanding of the job we do.

I have worked with some very good comm centers and currently, I have to deal with a very bad one. Why?
1. Inability to accept change. We have always done it this way, why change?
2. Law Enforcement controlled. No disrespect to the law enforcement side, but when I roll out of the house at two in the morning to a working fire, I need that dispatcher on the ball monitoring my traffic. Turning down the volume on the cad is not acceptable.
3. My department has turned over reams of documented cases indicating room for improvement and to date, no change. APCO standards were even cited and the answer we were given? Well, we are short staffed. I'm sorry,but a 4 minute lag time from call recieved until time of dispatch for a full code is problem. This occurs on a regular basis in my response area.
I agree with what some have stated, make the comm center independent and work with the center to develop our "dream" comm center. This can be accomplished without spending millions to do it. I also agree that the staff working the comm centers should be paid accordingly. I feel that this is one of the root causes of the problem. Just my opinion and I appreciate the patience for my rant!

Lack of Training
Our problem is the lac of training. Each department (11) of them having different procedures, and a CAD system that does not work the way it was supposed to.

All of the Above
well, all but the firefighter dispatcher better than the civilian dispatcher. maybe in your case, but that's probably due to training issues more than being a firefighter or a civilian.
just my .01 cent......i'm a dispatcher, i can't afford .02 centsthe motto of every midnight shift dispatcher - "I'm up - You're up"

The problem with the firefighter dispatcher is they generally are doing their time and then they want out of there. So it is a revolving door and you can get some real crappy dispatchers there for a while. There are also some that are really sharp and they make the very best dispatchers IMO but because of their sharpness often get promoted out quickly...
Civilian dispatchers take longer to train of course and may never fully grasp some things we are doing but I think it is at least a way to stop the revolving door so long as they are trained by people who know what they are doing and they are properly compensated for their important job....

The Blue Buffalo Foundation for Cancer Research
In 2003 the Blue Buffalo Foundation for Cancer Research and the Pet Cancer Awareness Program was formed to bolster awareness about pet cancer and raise support and money for various clinics and universities that conduct research on the causes of, treatment and prevention of cats and dogs with the disease.
Educating pet parents about reducing the risk of cancer in their pets as well as noticing the warning signs is one of the main functions of our mission. We've created a web site at petcancerawareness.org that is committed to providing all kinds of important information like cancer facts, valuable resources and even heartwarming stories about pets with cancer. You can make a donation here.
The month of May is Pet Cancer Awareness Month when we strive to raise funds to help fight against pet cancer. The funds raised are then distributed to organizations like the Morris Animal Foundation, the National Canine Cancer Foundation and others who are involved with cutting edge research on treatments and a cure for this disease. Because pet cancer affects whole families as well pets, we've added organizations like the Riedel and Cody Fund and the Kate Koogler Canine Cancer Fund among others. These organizations help pay the high cost of treatments for families who may not have the means to afford their pet's care.

By LORI TUCKER6 News Anchor
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - A local health care system is among the first in the country to perform a breakthrough heart procedure.
Gregg Fruchtnict, 47, can climb stairs now without losing his breath.
"Well, I feel like I've got a little more zip in my step," he said.Even something as simple as getting a glass of water doesn't tire him out like it did before. He's survived two major heart attacks, and a number of heart surgeries. The latest - a breakthrough procedure using a small parachute. The device is inserted via a catheter so it's minimally invasive. It partitions off the damaged heart muscle from the healthy part to improve heart function. The technique is so new it's under review by the FDA in a clinical trial. Gregg just had the surgery last week."Literally moments after we put it in, literally the pressure in his heart dropped which is good, went from high pressure to more normal pressure, and the pumping function of his heart improved within the first day," said Dr. Malcolm Foster.Tennova's Turkey Creek Medical Center is only the third in the country to perform the surgery. The clinical trial is looking at the safety and effectiveness of the parachute device. Gregg is thankful he was considered a good candidate for the cutting edge technology hoping it helps his heart long term. "I'm just blessed to have the opportunity to have this procedure and be on this earth," he said. "That's all I can say."If you'd like to see the surgery play out on TV, it's actually the storyline on ABC's Grey's Anatomy coming up on Thursday - Valentine's Day. Thomas Engels of the medical device company Cardiokinetix even starred next to Sandra Oh, who plays Dr. Christina Yang on the show. He was on set to make sure producers got the procedure right and ended up getting to be an extra on the show.

Ever heard the saying, 'the kitchen is the heart of the home"? Although this is undoubtedly true, alongside the prolonged, lazy Friday dinners and the sunny Sunday afternoons spent baking, comes the clutter and chaos that make up everyday life. Well we're here to say that not all of those things are worth tearing your hair out to clean up and store away! We've put together a list of ten things to leave out on your kitchen counter that will not only add to the beauty and decor of your home, but will have you feeling organized and at ease in your kitchen once again.
Who says the fab life is just for the celebrities! Here at FLOFORM, we say that anyone can capture the glamour of the Hollywood lifestyle, right in their kitchen! We love the look of shine and sparkle in the kitchen, and showing off your glitzy side is a great way to enhance the look of any room. This Cambria kitchen is a perfect example of modern glam in a contemporary home. The Snowdon White countertops are stunning in this exquisite silver kitchen, and the sleek fixtures and accessories add a charm, perfect for the modern day family.
And if you want to go for something that's full-out glamourous, why not try an outdoor kitchen? This idea from Kohler is lavish, lush, and looks ideal for glitzy evenings spent looking at the stars. Whether it's a stylish accessory or an extravagant rooftop lounge, there are countless and simple ways to add some luxury to your home, and concrete your own star status.
How would incorporate glitz and glamour into your home?
Here we are in the heart of the summer, and the only thing getting us through those long work weeks is the thought of spending a nice long weekend at the cabin. City dwellers tend to flock to the water any chance they get, and we love the relaxed and casual feel of beach house style. Whether you're sitting pretty on a dock or enjoying a fun-filled beach weekend with friends and family, your perfect cabin style has to fit with your exciting summer plans.
Another way to create an awesome lake house is to design it around your favourite cottage activities. We love this stylishly nautical living room, which works as a great traditional space but adds the perfect balance of sport and family mementos to give it that homey feel. A great example of giving the classic cabin look your own personal twist!
Whatever your weekend escape plans, interior design can be a great way to create the perfect space for you and your family, and add your own personal style to the look. So get out there, and enjoy those summer months while you still can!
From Chatelaine, a stunning compilation of the variety of styles and trends that differ between the West Coast mountaineers, and those East Coast marine lovers. Click to explore!
Although you may not live in an exotic location, you can still relish foreign and interesting design elements inspired by international countries. We especially love global trends within the bathroom, as it can be a great escape from your typical home décor. For example, this intriguing look from Kohler showcases an Eastern vibe, that is sure to put you in a relaxed mood, and helps to create that perfect oasis.
For a more Parisienne flair, you could try this look from Cambria featuring Stafford Brown that will transport you to a wholly elegant and luxurious time. Vintage inspiration is a great way to play up a dream quality to your home, and we love this look of French beauty within a classic bathroom for two.
What do you think of these featured international looks?
Whether your celebrating Canada Day this weekend, or Independence Day on the 4th, here at FLOFORM we hope this year's birthday is extra special! Have a great time everyone!
Summer is just around the corner and we can't wait to start really soaking in those summer rays. With the summer sun on our mind, we're looking at all the different countertops that exude the seasonal flavor.
Check out our summer inspiration!
The Black and White trend is prevalent in fashion these days and is a great style for modern home décor. But, what most people think is that it is limited to only those highly contemporary types looking for that cutting edge look. Here at FLOFORM, we wanted to take a look at some different home design ideas for this striking colour contrast.
Here is a stunning example of how this strong look can be softened with more traditional home styles. We love this modern meets function bathroom by Cambria, and how the robust tones of Flint Black are perfectly tempered with the elegant white tub that completes the room.
Another great way use of the black & white trend in a more conventional home is as a blank canvas for eye-catching accents within the room. To keep your space within the season, try adding some bright toss cushions or fresh flowers to add that perfect pop of colour to your monochromatic look.
There is a variety of looks to choose from within this trend, and we love to see how families can incorporate this fashion-forward look in their homes.
Would you try the Black and White trend within your space?
Your kitchen should be completely your own, and we love the different individualized touches different families put on their spaces. At FLOFORM, we like to expand on those personal elements with countertops that perfectly suit the needs of you and your family. Here are some of our favourite kitchen looks that draw on the individuality of distinct family styles.
For the clean and effortless look many families go for, we love this Corian design, featuring Sagebrush, in a simple yet classic kitchen design. When you're a busy, on-the-go household, you don't want to spend your time organizing a cluttered home, and this kitchen would work perfectly for the no-fuss, no-muss family.
A more traditional family might be more intrigued by this rustic, and ornate look by Cambria. A main focal point of this stunning kitchen is the intricate woodwork and timeless fixtures that cement this style into the design dynasty. We think this kitchen would work for those longing for times long ago, or maybe just fans of Downton Abbey.
A total divergence from the classic kitchen is this bold look from Kohler. The modern retro décor would work great for any eclectic family looking for something fresh and new for their kitchen. We love the bright and lively energy this style exudes, while still tying in all the colours to create a seamless and fun look.
What style would you love for your home's kitchen?
Summer is just around the corner, and we can't wait for it to get here! The season is a great time to spend with friends and family, and we think your house should be ready for all the great summer activities ahead! Whether it's opening the windows, adding some bright accents or completely redesigning a room, there are many ways to give a sunny spun to your home's look. Here are some of our favourite ideas to turn any home into a summer haven:
How are you getting ready for summer?

Lakers 99, Hawks 98
The Los Angeles Lakers were on the verge of yet another heartbreaking loss, but Kobe Bryant saved the day in the end. Bryant's driving layup with nine seconds left gave the Lakers a 99-98 victory over the Atlanta Hawks, bringing Los Angeles back to .500 for the first time since Dec. 28
The Lakers (30-30) appeared to be in cruise control for much of the game, taking a 16-point lead in the third quarter. But Devin Harris and Kyle Korver led a spirited Hawks' (33-25) charge, setting the game up for a thrilling fourth quarter. The lead changed hands numerous times during the final frame, with Al Horford's dunk with 26 seconds left putting Atlanta on top by one before Bryant's heroics. The Hawks had one last chance, but Josh Smith turned it over.
Bryant had 34 points on 13-of-27 shooting to lead the Lakers, while both Steve Nash and Dwight Howard notched double-doubles. Los Angeles won despite turning the ball over 21 times, with Atlanta scoring 29 points off those miscues.
Horford led the Hawks with 24 points. Harris and Korver each had 16 points off the bench, with most of that damage coming in the second half.
Heat 99, Knicks 93
After one half, it looked like the New York Knicks were well on their way to beating the Miami Heat for a third straight time this season. But LeBron James and the Heat would have none of that, staging a big second-half comeback and winning their 14th straight game by beating the Knicks, 99-93, at Madison Square Garden.
James rebounded from his "off" game in the win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, posting 29 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists. Twelve of those points came in the fourth quarter, including a dagger layup with 23 seconds left that put the Heat (43-14) up six.
The Knicks (35-21) were in control early on, using a huge second quarter to take a 14-point lead into the break. Carmelo Anthony scored 24 points in the first half, but he cooled in the second, finishing with 32 points on 9-of-19 shooting. J.R. Smith had 13 points and 12 rebounds off the bench, but he went just 5-of-18 from the field and a dismal 3-of-14 from three-point land.
Thunder 108, Clippers 104
The Oklahoma City Thunder blew a 12-point fourth quarter lead, but rebounded in the final minutes to beat the Los Angeles Clippers, 108-104, at the Staples Center. Russell Westbrook had 29 points and 10 assists, and it was his layup with 1:24 left that put the Thunder ahead for good.
Kevin Durant added 35 points for Oklahoma City (43-16), who led by as many as 19 in the third quarter. But the Clippers (43-19) came storming back, finally overtaking the Thunder with 1:30 remaining on Jamal Crawford's three-pointer. But Westbrook quickly responded, and after a Chris Paul miss, Serge Ibaka came through with a huge and-1. Westbrook then sealed the game on a jumper with 26 seconds left.
Paul led Los Angeles with 26 points, eight assists, six rebounds and four steals. Crawford and Blake Griffin had 20 points apiece.
Pacers 97, Bulls 92
Davis West scored 31 points to lead the Indiana Pacers past a resilient Chicago Bulls team, 97-92. West scored eight points in the fourth quarter, including the key basket with 32 seconds left that put the Pacers (38-22) up five. George Hill added 21 points, and Roy Hibbert notched a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds.
The Bulls (34-26) were extremely short-handed, playing without Kirk Hinrich, Richard Hamilton and Taj Gibson due to injuries. Marco Belinelli and Jimmy Butler stepped up in their stead, pouring in 20 points apiece and keeping Chicago in it until the very end before falling just short.
Rockets 136, Mavericks 103
Chandler Parsons made his first 11 shots en route to a 32-point night as the Houston Rockets destroyed the Dallas Mavericks, 136-103, in an intrastate battle. The Rockets (33-28) used a huge third quarter to break the game open, outscoring the Mavs 44-17 in the frame. James Harden and Jeremy Lin both added 21 points.
O.J. Mayo had 18 points in the loss for Dallas (26-33). The Mavs were killed by turnovers, coughing it up 18 times, which led to 32 points on the other end.
Spurs 114, Pistons 75
Despite an injury to Tony Parker, the San Antonio Spurs put on a clinic against the Detroit Pistons, running away and hiding in a 114-75 victory. Tim Duncan and Danny Green had 16 points apiece for the Spurs (47-14), who shot 50.6 percent from the field and racked up 35 assists on 45 made baskets.
The Pistons (23-39) could not do anything right, shooting a woeful 32.6 percent on the night. Greg Monroe had 16 points and eight rebounds in the loss.
Grizzlies 108, Magic 82
Tayshaun Prince had 14 points to lead a balanced Memphis Grizzlies attack in a 108-82 beatdown of the Orlando Magic. Six Grizzlies (39-19) scored in double figures on the night, with both Marc Gasol and Ed Davis notching double-doubles. Gasol's double-double was especially impressive, as the big man racked up 11 assists.
The Magic (16-44) fell behind by 10 after the first quarter and never really threatened. Arron Afflalo, E'Twaun Moore and Andrew Nicholson all had 12 points.
Wizards 90, 76ers 87
John Wall closed the game on a personal 6-0 run, giving the Washington Wizards a 90-87 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. The Wizards (19-39) trailed by three with 2:10 to go before Wall took over down the stretch, making two buckets and knocking down two free throws. Wall finished with 16 points, six assists and five rebounds.
Jrue Holiday, Spencer Hawes and Thaddeus Young each had 14 points for the Sixers (23-35), but Holiday shot just 4-of-19 from the field. Philadelphia shot only 38.8 percent from the field as its nightmare season without Andrew Bynum continues.
Kings 119, Bobcats 83
John Salmons scored 22 points to lead six Sacramento Kings in double figures in a 119-83 blowout victory over the hapless Charlotte Bobcats. Marcus Thornton and Jason Thompson both added 18 points for the Kings (21-40), who outrebounded the Bobcats, 60-31.
Charlotte (13-46) has now lost six in a row and 14 of 17. Gerald Henderson and Byron Mullens both had 12 points in the ugly loss.

Bananas Foster Sundaes for 2 Recipe
I have wonderful memories of eating Bananas Foster in New Orleans, and as a dietitian, wanted to find a healthier version. I combined the best of two recipes and added my own tweaks to create this Southern treat. And with this version, it's the perfect dessert for two! —Lisa Varner, Charleston, South Carolina
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon orange juice
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 large banana, sliced
- 2 teaspoons chopped pecans, toasted
- 1/8 teaspoon rum extract
- 1 cup reduced-fat vanilla ice cream
- In a large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Stir in the brown sugar, orange juice, cinnamon and nutmeg until blended. Add banana and pecans; cook for 2-3 minutes or until banana is glazed and slightly softened, stirring lightly. Remove from the heat; stir in extract. Serve with ice cream. Yield: 2 servings.

Wow this is really good, I doubled all the ingredients but used only 1 banana and it was a perfect amount for 2. I didn't have orange juice so I used pineapple juice and I omitted the nutmeg since I don't care for that flavor . I will definitely be making this often, so yummy!

I forgot to say I also used dark rum instead of extract

Thought it was very tasty but I doubled it and would recommend to do that even if just for 2 people. No bad at all for a lower cal recipe
