Brooke Maddox and Taylor Josey are seniors in high school who decided to take an after-school job tutoring kids at Wisekidz Learning Solutions of Georgia in Lithia Springs.
"During the weekdays, since I was in school, I probably worked three hours a day, and on the weekend I probably worked from nine in the morning until two in the afternoon on Saturdays," Maddox said.
But the pair - joined by other former employees - claim their hard work never paid off. They claim the business owner, Kenyana Gay-Wise, hasn't paid them for two months' worth of work.
"It kind of felt like she was using us as teenagers," said Josey, who claimed she is owed more than $1,000.
CBS Atlanta called phone numbers listed for Wisekidz, but they were disconnected. No one answered the door at her home.
Maddox said Gay-Wise owes her more than $800 and showed us text messages, allegedly from Gay-Wise, saying things like, "I want to first apologize for the issue surrounding her paychecks."
But both Maddox and Josey stopped working at Wisekidz in January after not getting paid for months, and plan to take Gay-Wise to court.
"It hurts a little to know that someone would do such a thing," Josey said. "You're the owner of a business. Your employees should be your second worry - after your customers."
And Maddox has a warning for any students who decide to go tutor at the business.
"I just want people to know that if you're going to be working here, just make sure you know about your money," she said.

So this is really going to happen. Barring a terribly disappointing injury in the next few days, Jamie Moyer will soon become the second-oldest man to start a game in Major League Baseball's long history, and the oldest to start more than once.
In 1965, Satchel Paige started one game for the Kansas City Athletics. He was 58 years old, and pitched three scoreless innings against the Boston Red Sox. But that was obviously a stunt; it was Paige's first appearance in the majors since 1953, and would be his last.
Aside from Paige, the oldest major-league starter was Phil Niekro, 48 when he made 26 starts in 1987.
Satchel Paige was a performer; Phil Niekro was a knuckleballer. Meanwhile, Jamie Moyer is just another (relatively) conventional pitcher, except that he's 49 years old and has officially earned a spot in the Colorado Rockies' pitching rotation. That's the word from Troy Renck (who's been on this story from Day 1 of spring training).
Even better, Moyer's actually going to be the Rockies' No. 2 starter, with the lefty slotted between right-handers Jeremy Guthrie and Juan Nicasio.
Obviously, there's no telling how long Moyer will last. Past the All-Star break will be an upset, though, as injuries or ineffectiveness are likely to take their toll as Moyer does something that nobody's ever done before.
Still, one start or 30 starts, Jamie Moyer is an amazing athlete and won't soon be forgotten.
For more on Moyer and the Rockies, please visit Purple Row.

What could be more exciting than seeing a cowboy here in Massachusetts? Having that cowboy in the SmartPak office to do some filming! Newest Team SmartPak rider Clinton Anderson and some of his Down Under Horsemanship crew made the journey from Stephenville, TX to spend a few days with us here at SmartPak. Being their first trip to our office we wanted them to experience all Plymouth had to offer. So, aside from touring our office, we also sent them down to the waterfront to get a firsthand view of the purported landing place of the Mayflower, Plymouth Rock, in "America's Hometown." Visitors typically expect something that would resemble the Rock of Gibraltar but are perplexed to find something quite a bit smaller. Suffice it to say, the Down Under Horsemanship crew responded as most people do when seeing the rock for the first time with a "That's it?!"
Next stop was the Mayflower II, the replica ship of the Mayflower, which transported the Pilgrims to the New World. Unfortunately, this stop was also a bit of a disappointment as the replica ship is currently in another part of the state for maintenance. So, we did the next best thing and took them out for some amazing seafood! It's safe to say that no one went hungry that night!
Back in the office, Clinton had the opportunity to tour our facility and warehouse, meet with our staff (and several of their 4-legged friends), do a little filming, see our Customer Care Team in action, and have some great laughs with President and CEO Paal Gisholt.
We thoroughly enjoyed hosting our newest member of Team SmartPak and his crew and look forward to a great partnership.

The fall bull selling season is about to be in full swing starting with the early sales in California. Obviously, California has been dealt a tough hand in the last few years with a severe drought, which has caused cow numbers to decline. This has led producers to cull all of their marginal cows, leaving them with a tremendous nucleus for when the rains return. They are also producing calves worth record prices. When replacing bulls this year, commercial cow/calf producers should invest in the best quality bulls possible to further enhance the quality of their smaller herds and to take full advantage of this unprecedented market.
On the whole, seedstock producers have adjusted their bull offering to reflect the smaller number of cows in the country, so they should be offering the best quality genetics they have ever had. With the value of feeder cattle this year, seedstock producers on the West Coast have used the knife on all their marginal calves so only the best will be for sale this fall. This should offer commercial producers the opportunity to significantly upgrade their calf crop by adding outstanding herd sires.
It is worth the investment to pay good prices to seedstock producers that have the best objectively identified cattle for the economically important traits.
This includes meaningful contemporary group performance data, ultrasound and genomics. In an effort to get optimized production out of their commercial cows, producers should try to take as much of the guesswork out of the process as possible, which means rewarding seedstock producers for collecting the data and producing the genetics that will move their herds forward. With smaller numbers, it is time to produce the best cattle possible genetically; therefore, getting the most out of every cow and every calf.
When shopping for bulls, it is good to have clear-cut criteria for your next herd sires that will best move your herd forward. This will help you avoid mistakes that come with impulse purchases that are so easy to make at a sale. It often helps to visit with your seedstock provider ahead of time to help build your criteria for bull purchases. It is critical to make sure your objective criteria are in line with your environment, management and market.
Convenience traits like soundness, disposition and fleshing ability are extremely important, and usually require seeing the seedstock in person or by the observation of a trusted advisor. Many of the other traits can be sorted on paper with ranges of acceptability for each trait. Acceptable levels of calving ease potential for heifers and cows should also be taken into account as this consistently ranks as the number one trait in surveys of commercial producers, and research has shown that moderate birthweights are correlated with moderate mature size. As this drought has moved across the country, many producers have found that too much milk can be a major detriment, so producers should select for optimum milk potential for their situation and avoid extremes.
How you market your calves should also influence the level of traits you select. The traditional market of cattle moving East with a stocker phase before the cattle are placed in the feed yard calls for more moderate cattle. However, if cattle are headed to Harris or Beef Northwest to go straight on feed, higher growth potential is desirable. Whether you are selling feeder cattle or retain ownership, all producers need to accept the responsibility for having cattle that will produce a desirable end-product. This means carcass traits and breed or breed combinations should have the genetic potential to yield a high quality carcass.
It is an exciting time to be in the cattle business. Export and domestic demand for beef has never been better, and the combination of low grain prices and low cow numbers is a scenario for unprecedented prices for cattle. When high quality feeder cattle are bringing over $1,500 a head, it is easy to see why investing in top genetics will pay off. With the drought in California and other parts of the country still with us, it is also important to garner the most revenue per cow as possible. Even cull prices are setting new records, so it is easy to pencil out taking a mediocre mature bull to town and investing in a young bull with better genetics.
The bottom line is this drought has provided West Coast producers the ability to supply the industry with the best commercial calves in the country, albeit in smaller numbers. With this market, and through intelligent culling and the investment in the right bulls, commercial producers can still maintain the desired revenue even during this drought! — Dr. Bob Hough, WLJCorrespondent

DAYTON, TN. (Times Free Press) -- Industry Week magazine today recognized the La-Z-Boy plant in Dayton, Tenn., as one the best plants in North America.
La-Z-Boy, which operates the nation's biggest furniture plant with 1,400 employees in Dayton, was among only a half dozen manufacturing plants in the United States, Canada and Mexico that Industry Week picked as its 2012 winners for performance, efficiency and improvement.
La-Z-Boy had been a finalist for the IW award three times previously but has never previously won the top magazine honor. The Dayton facility is capable of producing as many La-Z-Boy recliners, sofas and other furniture pieces today as the plant produced when it had nearly 2,500 employees in the 1990s.
Despite the downturn in furniture sales during the recession, La-Z-Boy has continued to invest in equipment, training and other programs to improve efficiency, cut product defects and boost employee productivity.

CATEGORIES Home Entertainment, Features, CinematicalCameron Crowe didn't come up with the idea of a man seriously disfigured in a car crash who suffers a post-traumatic world rife with confusion and unanticipated horror. Before Vanilla Sky there was Abre los ojos, otherwise known as Open Your Eyes. The film was made by Alejandro Amenábar -- the skilled filmmaker who went on to offer up The Others in 2001, The Sea Inside a few years after that, and finally 2009-2010's record-breaking epic, Agora -- and his original offers a wholly different, yet utterly similar world.
The film focuses on a rich and handsome womanizer named Cesar (Eduardo Noriega), who lives off his parent's fortune after their passing. But one night things change. His friend (not as lucky with the ladies) shows up with a beautiful woman named Sofia (Penelope Cruz), and Cesar quickly falls in love and steals Sofia for himself. For an all-too-brief period of time, he is blissful, until his last affair comes knocking. With him in the car, she commits suicide by driving into a wall, which leaves Cesar disfigured, a ghost of his former self as he deals with the accident, his new life, and the potential to rebuild the past.
What's so interesting about this duo of films is how both deal with such a specific premise, yet play out as features that can each be enjoyed for different reasons, even with Cruz starring in both. Amenábar's spin is less Hollywood stylish, choosing to exist in a dark and haunting world rather than Crowe's usual music-fueled landscape. It's a world that lets the film exist on its own while also allowing Vanilla Sky to thrive as an interesting adaptive twist, as if these films followed a simple story seen many times over, and not something so distinctly unique.
This is an excellent film to be offered for free, so I'll stop writing and just suggest that you...

Birmingham Rep to Stage THE THREEPENNY OPERA, March 27-April 12
One of the most pioneering productions of Birmingham Repertory Theatre's Spring 2014 season, Brecht and Weill's The Threepenny Opera, is as topical now as it was eighty-five years ago.
At a time of financial insecurity and grinding poverty, never has there been a more relevant time for a fresh exploration of society's reaction to surviving economic hard times, and allowing the social under-dogs to have their say. This beggars' opera, a story of the dispossessed and the downtrodden, will resonate across modern British society.
Welcome to a world where evil goes unpunished, marriages are false, money is corrupt, the law is fickle and lowly souls remain on the poverty line. Macheath and Polly Peachum are newlywed, much to the dismay of her father Mr Peachum. A plan is set to catch and arrest Macheath. Through brothels, blackmail, deceit and many, many women, he is eventually caught and taken to the gallows. Will he hang? Let's see what the government decides.
With live music played onstage by the actors themselves, delivering a score that includes such well-known songs as Mack the Knife andPirate Jenny, The Threepenny Opera is a riotous musical comedy that audiences will be begging to see.
Teaming up with Graeae, the UK's foremost disabled led theatre company, this co-production will be the first fully integrated production of Threepenny Opera ever performed. Using live audio description, a creative combination of BSL interpretation and captioning and an integrated cast of disabled and non-disabled performers, the co-directors, Jenny Sealey and Peter Rowe will bring their unique combination of theatrical passion to this modern classic.
Jenny Sealey, Artistic Director of Graeae said: "The Threepenny Opera is a glorious theatrical challenge where our truly unique motley crew whom have been marginalised or dismissed by society create their own world to tell the story from their perspective with punch, panache and passion. The narrative is painfully timely given the economic and political situation so it really is a production to be seen by anyone who despairs the world in which we live in but marvels at the resilience of human nature."
Jenny Sealy co-directed the London 2012 Paralympic Games opening ceremony, an event which provided a global platform for the skills and talent of Deaf and disabled artists. Now, this brand new production of The Threepenny Opera will endorse the claim that the UK is now a world leader in promoting diversity in the arts.
The Threepenny Opera will run Thursday 27 March - Saturday 12 April. Curtain times are 7:300pm Monday - Saturday, apart from 7:00pm on Thursday 27 March. Matinees are at 2pm on Saturday 5 and Thursday 10 April.
After dark, a free post-show discussion with the company will take place Tuesday 1 April.
Tickets are £7 - £32.50 with concessions available. To purchase, call the box office at 0121 236 4455 or book online at www.birmingham-rep.co.uk.
The cast of The Threepenny Opera features Sonia Allori (Maisie), Sophie Byrne (Dolly), Amelia Cavallo (Jenny), Stephen Collins (Ned), Stacey Ghent (Nellie), Ben Coffe (Jake), Joey Hickman (Reverend Kimball), Barbara Hockaday (Betty), TJ Holmes (Smith), Ci Ci Howells (Polly), Tiger Brown Will Kenning (Tiger Brown), John Kelly (Narrator), Natasha Lewis (Lucy), Milton Lopes (Macheath), Victoria Oruwari (Mrs. Peachum), Garry Robson (JJ Peachum), Max Runham (Flich), and Joe Vetch (Bob)
The Threepenny Opera is directed by Peter Rowe & Jenny Sealey, with design by Neil Murray, musical direction by Robert Hyman, movement direction by Mark Smith, lighting design by Malcolm Rippeth, sound design by Drew Baumohl, projections design by Mark Haig, sign languge interpretation by Jude Mahon and audio. Wayne 'Pickles' Norman is the Audio Describer/Access Support Worker.

11th Annual Oyster Fest Answers the Prayers of Local Oyster Lovers
Everyone I know is obsessed with oysters. Here in San Francisco, we eat oysters every which way: deep fried in po' boys, barbecued to succulent perfection, swimming in a citrus bath of Peruvian ceviche and half-drunk during happy hour along with an ice cold Guinness, lemon wedges and Tabasco. For those who count themselves true, salivating oyster-philes, it's pretty much the Super Bowl: the 11th Annual Oysterfest is coming to the Great Meadow at Fort Mason to celebrate the most revered of bivalves in a single action-packed afternoon on Saturday, May 15th.
Benefitting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training, get excited for cooking demos (as if San Franciscans hadn't invented enough ways to feast on these creatures), their Shuck and Suck competition, a history of oysters, and an oyster pairing room. But it's not going down to the soundtrack of hungry seagulls circling above. These oysters are getting slurped to the sounds of awesome musical guests Cake, the Ravonettes, and Thao Nguyen with the Get Down Stay Down! Get tickets here and because it's never too early to catch oyster fever, bring the kids. If they're under 14, they get in free.

On Our Radar: Yestadt Millinery Caps-------
New York's fashion set is very ready to don caps, if a quick scan of the looks in the stands of New York fashion week is anything to go by, and now, one of New York's hometown milliners is very ready to oblige. Yestadt Millinery is launching a new collection of classed-up caps, in fabrics like cashmere and ponyskin, exclusively at Opening Ceremony. "We have been working on tweaking the baseball cap idea for a few seasons now, adding a little here and taking a little there to update it and make it more sporty-chic instead of sports-literal," explains designer Molly Yestadt. "Everyone knows how to wear a baseball cap, and there is definitely a strong attitude that comes along with it." That attitude is on display in the short film, debuting exclusively here, lensed by Matt Kliegman.
Hats On-------
Since launching their line in 2008, Brooklyn-based hatmakers Molly Yestadt and Jane Pincus of Yestadt Millinery have had an unmistakable cool factor that has drawn the likes of Marc Jacobs, Thom Browne, and Vena Cava's Sophie Buhai and Lisa Mayock to enlist their services. So It comes as no surprise that the duo brought on a very hip crew of friends, including Matt Kliegman, Dev Hynes (who, you might recall, was on the arm of Alexa Chung during the recent runway shows), and Coco Young, to shoot their Spring '12 video, debuting exclusively here on Style.com.
"The drive behind this collection was really to try to capture that very light, very summery feeling through the fine woven straws we used," Yestadt tells Style.com. "We manipulated the shapes with minimal trimming and let the materials shine in their natural, raw states, and I think this translated to the video through Matt's unique vision and Dev's light and winding soundscape."
In the short film, shot on the Long Island Sound, Young and Lyle Lodwick show off some of Yestadt Millinery's best sellers, like wide-brim hats and boyish baseball caps, as they flit about enjoying the final days of summer (to custom sounds by Hynes). "[We wanted] to capture that late-summer love—it's hot as hell, the shadows are long, and you can't help but to get the sense that September is quickly approaching," says Yestadt. Luckily for us, spring has only just started and the lazy days of summer are ahead.
A New Home For Williamsburg's Mad Hattresses-------
A return to artisan craftsmanship has hit Williamsburg, Brooklyn, hard, from the butchers at Marlow & Sons restaurant (where discarded skins are now turned into leather handbags, too) to the Mast Brothers' small-scale chocolate factory. Now Molly Yestadt of Yestadt Millinery is, ahem, throwing her hat into the ring. Her newly launched atelier on South 6th Street is giving customers a chance to see her handiwork in action. "Initially, the concept was to have a workshop that could be visited by appointment only," says Yestadt. But, the hats on view in the floor-to-ceiling shelving that dominates the Harlequin-themed space aren't solely for display. Yestadt Millinery's ground-floor abode—built at the turn of the century and entirely transformed thanks to a heavy dose of "elbow grease, blood, and sweat"—will likewise double as a custom hat shop. The idea is "to come, to work with us, and let us guide you through the process so as to make it something special and wonderful," says Yestadt, who has crafted caps for the runways of Vena Cava, Thom Browne, and Marc Jacobs and found fans in Rihanna and Leighton Meester.
For the summer, Yestadt notes she and partner Jane Pincus have been doing well with wide-brimmed toppers. For fall, another presentation and a few more collaborations—all, for the moment, kept mum. Well, except for this preview, delivered with the usual Williamsburghian brio: "Hopefully there'll be some really awesome, creative shit. I'm ready to go wild."
Yestadt Millinery is open by appointment only; e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com to make an appointment.
Meet The Milliner Of The Week-------
Even if "Yestadt Millinery" doesn't ring any bells, Molly Yestadt's clients will—among them, she counts Thom Browne and Vena Cava, both of whom commissioned the designer to create hats for their Fall 2010 collections. (For Browne, raccoon-tailed pillbox bellhop's hats [left]; for Vena Cava, Santa Fe-style wide-brimmed ones [right].) Launched in 2008, Yestadt Millinery got an early boost from Marc by Marc Jacobs (which put her caps on its guys for Fall 2009), and picked up momentum when Vena Cava tapped her for Spring 2010. "Last season was kind of our coming-out party," Yestadt says. That was before the label could count everyone from Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester and Rihanna to Courtney Love as fans.
Today Yestadt Millinery's own line is stocked at Anthropologie and Henri Bendel. "We're taking a younger and fresher look at hats, freshening up that tradition and craft," Yestadt continues. The line's Fall collection, also shown this week, is decidedly American pioneer chic. "I started with the idea of that spirit, of something very radical and useful. It was about starting completely new and starting from nothing." That's a story to which any young label can relate.

HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE GARDAI Plays FRIGID New York, Now thru 3/8
How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Gardai is a new play that explores the identity crisis sparked by a horrific encounter with the Garda National Immigration Bureau of Ireland. In the resulting sea of bureaucratic confusion, one woman, Lili, finds more questions than answers about who she is and where she belongs.
Lili examines the deeper meaning behind her whirlwind experience of becoming an immigrant and the desire to find something meaningful in a deeply dehumanizing process. Charming, poignant, and truthful this is the story of one free spirited traveler, discovering the threat imposed by too many borders.
In the play that Cuban artist Florencio Gelabert called "40 minutes of intense reality, turned into art," Lili explores immigration in all its forms. From Ireland to her native New Mexico, she attempts to reconcile her political ideals, lust for adventure, and the "no" stamped in her passport.
Sunglasses After Dark Productions is proud to present this play as part of the Frigid New York Festival. Tickets are $10 or $6 with a valid Student I.D. and can be purchased through SmartTix.
The show is written and performed by Liliana Ashman and directed by Madeleine Rose M. Parsigian with additional text by Malu Bremer. Tickets can be purchased through SmartTix. Performance Schedule: February 20th 5:30pm, February 23rd 3:40pm, March 2nd 3:40pm, March 4th 7:05pm, March 8th 8:25pm.

I was hunting around for a more natural, 'safe' sunscreen. I've used other Nature's Gate products (shampoo/conditioner, body lotion) and thought I would give this a go. I've used up most of the tube so it's time for a review...
It comes in a fairly sturdy squeeze tube and is a good size for the money.
I picked this up at a Whole Foods in Portland, Maine. Sad to say, I've never seen this in Canada but hey, most of us Canadians are south of the border a few times a year or use the almighty Internet, so it shouldn't be too hard to replace.
The Good: it truly is fragrance free. Really. Absolutely no smell. And it does work as well as any other sunscreen I've used. I've worn it for a reasonable amount of time outside and not burned. Also, according to the packaging and the reviews, this is a really nice, safe product.
The Bad: well, there is no 'bad'. Bad is a strong word. Let's try uninspiring.
The Ugly: really strong white cast. I am really fair. Almost glow in the dark fair. And this left a noticeable white cast on me. I've tried rubbing it in, using less, etc... no dice. It is hard to wear this with such a white cast, not to mention the whiteness left on any clothes that brush against me.
So, the tube is almost done, and to be honest, I am using the rest on my kids. At 3 and 4 years of age, they don't care about the white cast, or at least think it is funny rather than bothersome.
The feel good factor is high but that whiteness means I won't repurchase. I have found another sunscreen I like better and I'll stick with that.
Update: because I'm a glutton for punishment, I used this again for my run yesterday. I was out of my usual, and thought that this deserved a 2nd chance. 25*C, 75% humidity, buggy, muggy run in the woods. When I got home, it looked like I had spilled white paint down my chest and arms. Long, wet, white drips as the sunscreen sweated off. So not only do I look like I'm about to get caught by the Ghostbusters for my eerie paleness, it didn't even stand up to basic sweatiness. You're a SPORT sunscreen, this is your job. I'll overlook the white cast but sweat is your reason for being! It's your unique stand in a world of everyday sunscreens! Epic fail. If a product embarasses me, it's done. Binned. Never to be bought again. Nature's Gate, check out Coppertone Sport for the dictionary definition of 'dry touch' and 'sweatproof'.

I can't believe I found this at the 99 cent store! I got it because I say it was a dry finish (and it does stay dry and matte!) and then loved it because its fragrance free and paraben free because I have sensitive skin and I never though I would be able to find something at the dollar store that I could use on my sensitive skin! I don't know if it was a fluke or what but if I see any more of these there I am going to pick them all up!
I agree, this is a great sunblock. Non-greasy and matte, great for sports or just being outdoors. I'm always on the hunt for matte sun protection, and this one really does the trick without smelling like I should be at the beach. It does go on very white so I would not recommend for darker skinned gals. I also have not used this on my face, only my body. I will definitely repurchase.

I bought this product to use during the two summers I worked as a whitewater raft guide because it's a dry formulation and I didn't want anything to make my hands too slippery (lest I lose my grip on my paddle and accidently knock an annoying guest in the head with it!). I LOVE this sunblock. It really is a dry formulation -- the only one I've used that actually is dry. Unfortunately, due the dry formulation, the application isn't quite as elegant as with a more moisturizing sunblock (this was mostly apparent on my forearms, where there's hair, but wasn't really noticeable anywhere else). I used it on my face as well as my body, and it didn't break me out or make me a greasy mess. And the best part is, it actually blocks the sun. For two entire summers, I literally spent all day everyday outside in the sun, was constantly being splashed, and never ever got burned. I did reapply it between trips down the river, though (every 2-4 hours), which I'm sure is part of why I never got burned. I did end up very tan by the end of the summer, though, but I haven't met a sunblock yet that can prevent that. I still use this sunblock sometimes when I go cycling or rock climbing because the dry formulation won't affect my grip, but if grip isn't a factor, my favorite sunblocks are from the Ocean Potion line.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a wonderful dry sunblock lotion that is oil-free, fragrance-free and dries completely matte with no color at all. It feels like you have nothing on your skin!! Wonderful product. I will definitely be purchasing again!!
