Panel Plays Pioneering Role in Child Welfare Lawsuits
A reflection on the Annie E. Casey Foundation's former president and CEO, Doug Nelson, and his instrumental role in reforming child welfare lawsuits.
Family to Family was an 18-year, nationwide effort to improve child welfare systems. The initiative sought to expand family and community involvement in child protection. Today, many agencies continue to use and build evidence about the effectiveness of Team Decision Making, an outgrowth of Family to Family.
Blog Post
A reflection on the Annie E. Casey Foundation's former president and CEO, Doug Nelson, and his instrumental role in reforming child welfare lawsuits.
This document explains why and how the Casey Foundation set out to improve child welfare systems and practices across the country and what the Foundation learned in the process.
A guide for social workers, this manual shows why partnering with community members is essential for child welfare work and provides step by step guidelines for how to establish those relationships.
Part of the Family to Family Tools for Rebuilding Foster Care series. The research highlighted in this publication identifies successful programs, policies, and strategies that have been helping older children find permanent families; as well as how lessons learned from programs and policy changes can be distilled into action steps.
Practice Guide
This guide provides some suggested strategies, skills, and background information for facilitators who have either witnessed or suspect that a family has experienced domestic violence.
This manual, created for Casey's Family to Family grantees, shows how team decisionmaking works as a strategy for permanence in family foster care system, and how state agencies can incorporate it into their day to day practice.
This report summarizes the lessons learned by the Casey Foundation in its implemetation of a reformed foster care strategy in which child welfare agencies work with families and communities to ensure child placements close to home.
For many child welfare agencies data can be overwhelming and sometimes not useful. This document describes an attempt by the Family to Family Initiative to reinvent the way data in child welfare is used by creating better structures and processes for compiling data, conducting analyses, and linking data to evaluation.

This is a fairly fragile little bracelet, but so sweet! I love the reminder that Jesus IS the "lover of my soul"! You do have to be careful with it-the rings can easily get pulled apart & you'll lose it- I've had that happen twice when I was pulling a sweater off.
I love my bracelet. I am often sensitive to metals so I was nervous that it would cause me to breakout with a rash. However I am pleased to announce that I have worn it for over a week and no reaction. YAY! I love that I have a daily reminder that Jesus is the lover of my soul. I love Lisa's craftsmanship. GET THE BRACELET - you are going to love it.

Unfortunately I wore this for about two days and then it broke - I had to return it as it is not all sterling, its filled and a jeweler could not fix it. I was very bummed.

The Ohio State Buckeyes have plenty of important banners on their wall, claiming 36 conference titles and seven national championships in one way or another. They're all hanging in the Woody Hayes Center, prominently displaying the best Ohio State football has had to offer.
But they reached a new milestone this season.
New banner up at the Woody Hayes Center for the first OSU Spring practice twitter.com/JerodNBC4/stat…— Jerod Smalley (@JerodNBC4) March 5, 2013
Not anyone can reveal the "undefeated season banner". An undefeated season usually you means you're a champion of something or won something important, so that ends up being the top accolade.
But Ohio State didn't win anything important. They just won all their games then went home and ate fruitcake with their moms. This banner of melancholia belongs to you eternally, Buckeye Nation.
Look through SB Nation's many excellent college football blogs to find your team's community.

Hardware stores in Canada have gone online. The large hardware chains have developed their own websites such as True Value hardware stores, from where you can order anything you need in the way of hardware. If you are more conservative and like to handle and see what you are buying first, here is a list of True Value hardware store locations. Other famous on street hardware chains such as Home and Hardware stores have also put their inventory online, as has Lows hardware store.
Browsing Hardware Online
Hardware stores are wonderful places to browse. Oddly enough some of the joy of looking at all the things they sell has transposed to the internet. Looking through the catalogue of Ace hardware stores in Canada is similar to browsing the hardware stores in real life.
Safe Buying Hardware Online
You might wonder if there some kind of financial risk to ordering from online hardware stores. The overwhelming response to that is no. Of all the billions spent on firms to develop ecommerce, most of it has been spent on transaction security. If you are in any way disappointed with your purchase you can always do a credit card charge back, if all else fails. And remember, going down to your Lowe hardware store also has its dangers. Credit card fraud is rife, and why not in your local hardware store too. At least on the internet every transaction is logged. But if you would prefer to go to a physical stors, by all means use an online hardware store locator.

Tennis: FHSAA declares Morningside Academy eligible for 2014 postseason
PORT ST. LUCIE — Morningside Academy's tennis program has been declared eligible for postseason play by the Florida High School Athletic Association.
Morningside's boys team went undefeated last season, but was prohibited from competing in the district tournament after the FHSAA ruled that the school had received and given impermissible benefits to student athletes.
"We feel really good about the process," Morningside executive director Scott Crawford said. "We did things the right way. The FHSAA gave us a list of things they wanted to see us in compliance with and we worked hard to make sure that we did those things. It's very nice to see that they were satisfied."
The main issue the FHSAA had with Morningside last year was a link on the school's website for Club Med Academies, where a handful of Morningside students live and train. Club Med also had a link for Morningside but did not have links for any other schools, which the FHSAA deemed an impermissible benefit.
Those links no longer appears on either website.
Crawford declined to specify what they were required them to do, but the FHSAA informed them by email late last week that they would be allowed to compete in the district tournament in the spring.
"In consideration of the corrective measures taken by MA (Morningside Academy), we consider MA to have complied with the staff's request(s) and the matter is closed " FHSAA Associate Executive Director Denarvise Thornton Jr. wrote in an email to Seth Kraus of the Christian Law Association, which was representing Morningside in the matter.
Morningside tennis coach Paul Humburg said he's pleased to finally have the situation behind him.
"I think (last season) we would have had a good chance at winning the district, getting into the region and competition at state," Humburg said. "That will be our goal this year — to win state. We have a very competitive team and the girls will be very tough, too. They will be ready to go and looking for their shot."
Morningside returns an outstanding boys team, including All-Area Boys Player of the Year Elio Livi and first-team selections Wyatt Lovera and Marcelo Balderrama.

I've had Dr. Janczyk perform surgery for me on three occassions. Each time I was extremely pleased with the outcome. His office staff, and wait time are wonderful. He is very caring, and his bedside manner is wonderful. I remained awake during the last surgery, and he was great at keeping me involved in conversation, and alievating my concerns. Other members of my immediate family have had Dr. Janczyk as their surgeon and loved him as well. I would recommend him to anyone who needs to have a surgical procedure.
Thank Your for taking such good care of my daughter. His level of bedside manor and confidence is wonderful. He did a great jobThanks againKim Yekin
He boarded me for the wrong surgery and when I questioned him about it, he told me it was the same thing, just 5 mm to the left. In fact, an appendix and a gall bladder are not the same thing. Then when I met with him for my follow-up appointment to discuss the results of my biopsy, he told me that he didn't really know much about what I had but he could give me a copy of the report if I wanted to google it.

Malibu Pier becomes Malibu Moon's 50th SW in Santa Ana (G2)
Sunday, March 20, 2011
B. Wayne Hughes' homebred Malibu Pier became the milestone 50th career stakes winner for Malibu Moon, with her tenacious victory in the $150,000 Santa Ana S. (G2) on March 19.
The 4-year-old who was bred, foaled, and raised at Spendthrift, was challenged nearly step of the way in the 1 1/8-mile event over the Santa Anita turf course. Malibu Pier broke like a shot and battled through fast early fractions under Rafael Bejarano, before being given a breather on the turn. She then launched her winning bid entering the stretch, took the lead with a furlong to go, and held tough after a three-way stretch duel for a daylight victory over Grade 1 mare Turning Top (Ire).
Malibu Pier is the first stakes winner out of Graded stakes winner Blue Moon (Fr), by Lomitas (GB). Trained by Carla Gaines, she won three of her five starts in 2010, then ran second in the Grade 1 La Brea S. in her first start on conventional dirt. In her last racetrack appearance, Malibu Pier ran third in the Feb. 21 Buena Vista H. (G2) over a mile. She has now compiled a record of 8-4-1-1, and earnings of $252,200.
Also on March 18, Malibu Moon's 3-year-old daughter Dream became a Graded stakes performer, with her third-place finish in the $100,000 Cicada S. (G3) at Aqueduct. A homebred racing for Dark Hollow Farm and partners, Dream was making her stakes debut in the Cicada, after winning her first two career starts. She becomes the 87th career stakes horse, sixth of 2011, for Malibu Moon.

This Kershaw OD-1 knife model 1775 is quite cool. It has a hard 14C28N stainless steel blade that is known for it great edge retention. The handle is very unique because one side is G-10 overlay while the other side is 410 stainless still. A frame lock hold the blade open on the stainless steel side of the handle. The pocket clip can be mounted to carry the knife tip-up or tip-down. Now here is something else that is cool. A flipper on the back of the knife opens the knife and conceals itself when the blade is open.

This elephant seal pup has just been weaned, and he is not happy about it! For the first three weeks of his life, things were good. Mom was always available for nursing and cuddling.

His mother is ready to mate again and a pup near her would be in danger of being squashed by an amorous male. Southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) are the largest seals in the world. The average male is over 16 feet long and weighs over 4 tons. The largest male ever measured was 22 1/2 feet long and weighed 5 1/2 tons. Females are quite a bit smaller.

Aliante Casino + Hotel Review
Nestled in the beautiful Aliante planned community, this offering is as much a place for locals as for visitors looking to escape from the hubbub of the Strip. It's just minutes from the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where guests put pedal to metal at either the Richard Petty or Mario Andretti driving schools. Accommodations are modern and warm, with hues of brown, black, and tan, and warm, fuzzy duvets. Every room has floor-to-ceiling windows, and the sparsely decorated pool area overlooks the Spring Mountains. Downstairs, the gaming floor is small but intimate, and the sports book usually has props not available elsewhere in town. The hotel is a short drive from a number of golf courses.

CJ Johnson reviews Mystery Road - Film Review
Ivan Sen's Mystery Road is, in terms of story beats, a completely conventional - indeed, by-the-numbers - police procedural. It opens with the discovery of a body; proceeds to introduce us to a lone cop, just returned to his old beat, who, under-resourced and mistrusted by the community, must not only deal with the baffling mystery and unresponsive and antagonistic locals but also with the indifference, and potential corruption, of his own police department. Along the way he discovers a personal connection to the crime. So far, so well-thumbed.
What lifts this atmospheric and affecting film from its genre limitations are its milieu, its striking visual style and its truly enjoyable, low-key performances. Mystery Road is a dirt road near an outback town populated by a mix of Aborigines and whites; our protagonist, Detective Jay Swan (Aaron Pedersen) is indigenous, straddling the blackfella and whitefella worlds and comfortable in neither; and the various townsfolk he encounters are played by some of Australia's best actors doing subtle, precise work.
Sen shot the film himself and his images are superb. He uses formal compositions, dollies and a particularly striking motif - a helicopter shot, directly perpendicular to the ground, that follows Swan's car as it slowly navigates the quiet streets of the town, looking for all the world like a toy car on a dusty toy set. It's effective in many ways, simultaneously speaking to the town's character, Swan's isolation and the sheer difficulty of the mystery: Swan's car seems almost aimlessly moving in a maze of streets that are so similar, they must almost inevitably reveal nothing.
Mystery Road takes its time, which is to say it has a slow pace, but it's a deliberate pace, measured and precise, and, although the film is not hugely suspenseful per se, it always maintains a particular tension. The finale is absolutely terrific and one of the best examples of its kind in recent years - Hollywood could learn a thing or two from it. This is an engrossing, unique film and well worth a look.

Thoughts on static electricity and ESD related issues
Tuesday, April 03, 2007
How does a vacuum cleaner cause static electricity?
How does using a vacuum cleaner cause static electricity?
When dust travels in the air sucked through a vacuum cleaner it impacts on the pipe walls and other internal parts. These impacts generate static charges on the particles and on the pipe walls. If these parts are made from plastics or other insulating materials they can charge up and give static shocks. Rotating parts such as carpet beaters can also charge up through rubbing action. If the suction pipe has a metal coil and is not earthed, this can charge up and give quite an energetic spark.
If there are flammable materials present, these sparks could cause a fire or explosion risk. In larger vacuum cleaners (above about 1 m3) if the dust can give a flammable atmosphere, there may be a risk of fire or explosion in the dust collector.
Maybe not just the beater bar
Do as you wish. I'd just not chance the issue so I handle powder on a hard surface floor.
I've used a shop vac for years to clean up reloading spills. the amount of powder from one loading (3- 9 grns in my case) is hardly a concern when scattered throughout the canister. Spread about 3 grains of powder out on the concrete outside and "ignite" it. Not much to it, is there. There's little threat of "explosion" when such a small amount is not compressed. Just make sure you empty the powder out (It makes great fertilizer) when done so there's no accumulation. That could get hairy.
But if you've managed to dump an entire can on the floor, I suggest misting it with water before cleaning it up, sweeping the majority up first.

Meds School for Parents
Best Ways to Make the Meds Go Down
- If your child can't stand the taste of the medicine, talk to the pharmacist -- she may be able to add flavoring so it's more appealing, says Karen Reed, a staff pharmacist at Kmart in Beckley, West Virginia.
- Use a reward system. Tell your child she can have a sticker after she takes her medicine, or that she can call Grandma to tell her what a big girl she is.
- If your child is school-age, give him some responsibility. If the medicine needs to be shaken first, for instance, ask him to remind you to do it. "Every child likes to have a chance to boss his parents around," says Reed.
- Ask your pharmacist whether it's possible to adjust the dose so there's less medicine for your child to swallow. She may be able to double the ingredient so that you'll have to give your child only a half teaspoon instead of a teaspoon of the medication.

Allegri honoured to be new Juventus boss
Then AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri pictured during the Serie A match between Sassuolo and AC Milan at the Mapei Arena stadium in Reggio Emilia, on January 12, 2014 - by Maurizio Parenti
The 47-year-old former AC Milan boss was named to the job less than 24 hours after Antonio Conte quit.
"It was a bolt from the blue when I was asked as to my availability for the job. I'm happy, honoured and I know how big a job this is," said Allegri who had been out of work since his sacking by AC Milan in January.
"From tomorrow I'll start working alongside the club and team to build for an important and winning season."
Allegri had won the title in his first season (2010/2011) in charge at Milan while the club were runners-up the following campaign.
Allegri praised the work of Conte who has been tipped to succeed Cesare Prandelli as national team manager in the wake of Italy's World Cup campaign flop.
"He represented a great deal as a player and manager, he dominated and achieved great things in Italy and I understand the fans' scepticism, because in the space of just one day Juventus has a new coach," said Allegri.
"Winning them over will require victories, hard work, respect and professionalism. I spent four years at Milan and consider myself ready to continue the run of success enjoyed by the team over the last three years."
"Overhauling the team wouldn't be a particularly wise move. I'll work on the players' attributes and try to improve them further. Changing a system that works wouldn't make sense.
"The three consecutive titles make us favourites in Italy and we'll compete all the way for the title. There are great clubs in Europe, but with a shrewd transfer policy and organisation we'll try to enjoy an excellent Champions League campaign, just as Atletico Madrid did last season. Juventus must be among the top eight teams in Europe, it's our duty."
According to Italian media reports, Allegri signed a two year deal worth 2.5 million euros a season.
Allegri joins Juventus with the club on a high after a record 102 points haul last season en route to their third straight Scudetti.
At Juventus, Allegri will be reunited with Andrea Pirlo, the star playmaker he worked with at Milan.
"I have a great relationship with Pirlo. He's a world class performer and always played when he was with me at Milan," Allegri told www.juventus.com.
"He was unlucky in his last season due to a few injuries and struggled to fully recover, subsequently moving to Juventus, but thankfully, after three years, I'm lucky enough to be able to work with him again."

Arctic Cat recently announced the winner of their 2013 Turbo giveaway.
Sam C., a Canadian with a trail-wide passion for Cat's sleds won.
"We called him to say he had won and the phrase, "total disbelief," is a good description. In fact, it actually took a lot of convincing on our end to assure him that this was for real," said a Cat representative in a press release.
Now he's blasting down the trails and through the powder on his 2013 XF 1100 Turbo and couldn't be happier.
"I'd just like to say that Arctic Cat ROCKS! And dreams do come true," said Sam in the press release.

---- — DANVERS — A New York City man will spend the next two years on probation, with conditions that include anger management classes, after admitting to attacking a cab driver last Halloween.
Brian Dowdall, 41, was charged with assault and battery and disorderly conduct following the incident, which took place around 1 a.m. on Nov. 1.
Dowdall and his wife were in the cab, heading from downtown Salem, where they had spent part of the evening drinking at Rockafellas, to Motel 6 on Route 1 in Danvers, where they were staying, according to police.
Dowdall asked the cab driver for North Shore Taxi to pull over to allow him to use the restroom at a gas station on Route 114, police said in a report. The cabbie told Dowdall that they were almost at the hotel, however, and said he wouldn't stop.
The cab driver told police that Dowdall, described by police as "highly intoxicated," then grabbed him by the throat.
Dowdall told police that the cabbie had made inappropriate comments about his wife.
Prosecutors asked Salem District Court Judge Matthew Machera Friday to impose a guilty finding in the case and sentence Dowdall to 18 months in jail, with six months to be served and the rest of the time on probation, with a list of conditions including anger management and restitution, as well as random alcohol tests.
Dowdall's attorney, Jeff Denner, requested that the case be continued without a finding for a year, with unsupervised probation, meaning that if his client stays out of trouble, the charge would be dismissed.
Machera granted the continuation without a finding but made it supervised and for two years, a longer period of probation that will also include anger management, restitution, alcohol testing and a no-contact order with the victim, a Peabody man.
Machera is also allowing Dowdall to return to New York and for him to be supervised by a probation officer there.
Courts reporter Julie Manganis can be reached at 978-338-2521, via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or on Twitter @SNJulieManganis.

Today I wore the Circle Lenses for the first time. They're actually really comfortable. They also don't impede my vision like my red vampire contacts do. I could wear them for 6.5 hours before my eyes felt tired. By comparison though, I wear my normal contacts for 12 or more hours (even though I probably shouldn't). The contacts look very unusual in the close up pictures. However, in person they look cool. Some people noticed right away, and others were like 'what's different about you?'
And some cute pictures of Phaedra.
Shade Descriptions:
Lavender 9 – vibrant matte lavender
Jest – soft muted peach with icy shimmer (frost)
Crème de violet – Vivid-pinkish-violet flecked with gold shimmer (frost)
Satellite dreams – deep dirty plum with violet/blue reflects (veluxepearl)
Mancatcher – pale lilac with purple pearl
Vapour – soft pale peachy-pink duochrome flecked with violet shimmer (velvet)
Shangri-La – vibrant, azalea purple-pink
MAC Jest – inner lid
MAC Creme de Violet – middle lid
MAC Satellite Dreams – outer lid and outer crease and outer lower lash line
MAC Mancatcher – inner crease and inner lower lash line
MAC Vapour – on browbone to highlight and inner corners of eye
Black Out Gel Liner – upper lash line
Urban Decay 24/7 liner In Yeyo – lower water line
L'Oreal Lash Primer
Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion Mascara
Lorac Dark Brown Brow Pencil

Whooooaaa. Trippy contacts! Want. <3
I like the all-purple. Eyes, eyeshadow, lips. Really cool looking!
Those contacts are awesome!
Yay thank you! I really love them and now want more!
Your eyes look so cool with those!
Yay thanks!
You know I love the whole purple look!
Are the lenses your prescription? My violet ones are only a -6 so I only wear them if I don't plan on doing anything like driving. Now I'll have to pull mine out for a FOTD!
Yes, they're -9 and -9.5
I really like them!
The contacts look cool, but it made my eyes water to look at them. LOL The purples you chose were really good together.
Aww, I really like the contacts though. They're very similar to wearing my normal ones.
Thanks! I really like the purples and I haven't worn them much lately, and never together.
I love the lenses! And you and Phaedra look beautiful!
Thank you *hug*!
I need to see if I can find some blue-teal lenses somewhere in my prescription. After searching last night I've only found up to -6, which isn't strong enough for my eyes. Arg! I so need to get lasik.
Love, Love, Love it!!!! I have non-script circle lenses (I'm wearing them in the Halloween pics on my site).I had, like, no peripheral vision with them on, which may be because I got them supercheap from an e-tailer…anyway, yours look great, and this is a great look to debut them!
Whoa that's so crazy! I'm so used to seeing Japanese people wear them, and of course their eyes are dark brown. It gives a more interesting effect when the eyes are light like yours. I like it!
Yay thanks! Yeah I really like the circle lenses! They're so neat!
Those contacts are cool! I like the purple look, too (surprise surprise :D)
Yay thank you! Lol! I thought you might like the purples
Those contacts look really cool! The makeup is very pretty too.
Thank you! I had a lot of fun with this!
The contacts really make naturally light iris colors look especially interesting. I'm happy to know that they're comfortable to wear & fit well. They look great with this eyeshadow look & because they make your eyes look more cool-toned, I'd definitely try wearing them with cool-toned eyeshadows.
I will give them a try! I loooooove them!
Hey… did you cut your hair?
You and Phaedra are so pretty together :3
I love all of the purple! I see you're having fun with it :p I bet a nice neutral look would be extra striking with the contacts, if you wanna try that sometime. Or, like they always say purple accentuates green eyes, try green to accentuate the purple eyes!
I'd love to get a pair of fun contacts if you can really use them for a full year. I would have to wait for the ones I want to be offered with a prescription though, since I can't leave the house without corrective lenses–mostly because I can't find the door out
Nope, I've been growing my hair out But I am curling it around the face.
I may try a neutral matte look with these contacts.
These are prescription, -9 and -9.5. I can't see without my glasses or contacts. I can only see blurs without corrective lenses or glasses. So I feel your pain!
Having horrible eyesight is a real downer. I'm getting Lasik as soon as financially possible I LIKE glasses, I just don't like depending on them!
As for the hair, I like it. It looks really classy curled that way :3
I love circle lenses on you! have you seen the pink ones before? I think those would look stunning on you also <3
I've seen the pink but I haven't found them in my prescription yet. So if you see them in -9 and -9.50 let me know
Haha, well what do ya know, I found some!
Thanks for the link!
I'm checking out that site
I need to find a pair of blue-teal/aqua ones too.
I think I'm gonna have to nab those pink ones!
Damn. I rushed over to look at these and they top out at -10.0. I'm -10.5. *grumbles* That .5 is enough of a difference that I can't safely drive.
They look great on you!
I totally feel your pain. I'm so afraid of my prescription going up again! I just desperately want to do the lasik, but soo afraid of medical procedures.
YES! I've had so many "standard procedures" go south that I'm terrified of making my eyes worse.
I feel your pain I had a nasty anxiety attack during my MRI. That was less than pleasant.
The lenses look awesome usually circle lenses freak me out but these look cool
Glad you like!
The lenses look cool. I've never needed glasses so I don't know how I'd feel wearing contacts. I like the colour of them.
They go very well with your beautiful makeup!
Thanks! I wish I had better vision, but I love wearing contacts. Sometimes, it would be nice to go without them.

A 17-year-old Maiden Rock teenager was put on probation for two years Monday after pleading guilty to two counts of misdemeanor theft in Pierce County Circuit Court. Gabriel L. Rodriguez, N2984 220th St., will have to serve 30 days in jail as a probation condition, ordered by Pierce County Circuit Court Judge Joseph Boles. Other conditions include no possession or consumption of alcohol or any illegal drugs, undergoing an alcohol and drug assessment and follow through with recommendation. He also pled guilty to burglary but was placed on a deferred prosecution agreement for two years.
The 2011 Pierce County budget got its first look from the full county board Tuesday night. At their June meeting, the board ordered departments to reduce their 2011 budgets by 3.4 percent. The figure resulted from reducing the three percent increase on the operating levy the state will allow by $190,000, Finance Director Julie Brickner told the board then. It would generate $240,000 in additional property taxes, she continued, but require the reduction. The proposed budget, Bricker said Tuesday, is currently $217,563 under the tax levy limit.
A River Falls teenager's attempt to pay off a drug debt will result in him spending the next five years in prison. Blake Halverson, 18, was charged with armed robbery of Dick's Hometown Liquor last November. After pleading guilty in July, he was sentenced Tuesday by Pepin County Circuit Court Judge James Duvall. Duvall highlighted numerous facts about the incident to hammer the point of the gravity of the offense. "It was an armed robbery with the use of a dangerous weapon and a gun pointed at a person," he said. "And for why? To get money for drugs.
Three Minnesota men were each charged Monday with two counts of burglary in Pierce County Circuit Court. James W. Richardson, 32, Stillwater, Daniel H. Masloski, 27, White Bear Lake and Sean MaCaloon, 40, are looking at the maximum penalty of $25,000 and/or 12 years, six months prison for each Class F felony count. They are scheduled to make their initial court appearance 10 a.m. Nov. 22. Pierce County Sheriff's Department Investigators became aware of the three on August 26, according to the criminal complaint, when St.
The search for finding a new Pierce County Administrative Coordinator might finally be nearing an end. Personnel Specialist Sandy Langer announced Friday, Patrick A. Cannon and Patrick A. DeGrave, will be brought back for second interviews November 1st. Cannon is the current City Administrator for the City of Sun Prairie, Wis., while DeGrave was most recent the Administrator for Oak Creek, Wis.
Bradley Reitmann's and Joleigha Johnson's alleged crime spree originally had victims in Ellsworth, Red Wing and Hastings. Now, you can add River Falls to the list. The pair, charged earlier this month with burglary and receiving stolen property, were each charged with seven counts Oct. 12 in Pierce County Circuit Court. Those new counts are burglary, theft and four counts of credit card fraud. The next court date is a preliminary hearing set for 3:30 p.m. Monday. The River Falls case started Sept.
As people drove by Snowball's Bar in East Ellsworth last week, they will notice the exterior being done and think nothing of it. For Luke Fleming, one of the people working on the remodeling, it means a lot more than that. "It is our race against time," he said. "We wanted to do this for Mom and give the front of Snowball's a totally new look." Mom is owner Joanie Forss, who has owned the establishment since 1989. The race against time started on Sept. 28, when Forss received word she had stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
LUND--Steve Anderson spent 30 years as a career firefighter in Minnesota and so was in a bit of a culture shock when he joined the Lund Fire Department in 2006. "Before, there was a hydrant in every corner. Now, we have to bring our own water," he said. "In the past, I would usually go 2-2.5 miles for a call. Here, we sometimes have 10-mile runs." But the aspects of being a firefighter--the brotherhood among firefighters and helping out your community--are still there. "I wanted to serve my community and felt the best way I could do that was by joining the fire department," he said.
The Pierce County Board of Supervisors Tuesday unanimously approved an increase in hours from 28 to 40 for Linda Hoyt, drug court coordinator. The move was made due to the increased number of participants since the program started. It was also said the increase in Hoyt's hours could allow for even more participants, which has the potential to save the county money.
PLUM CITY--Thanks to federal funding, the guidance counselor at Plum City Schools is now full-time, a move announced to the board last week. Superintendent Mark Luebker explained Education Jobs was created by the federal government so schools could rehire or hire staff members in the targeted areas of early childhood and elementary secondary related services. He said the State of Wisconsin qualified to receive funding and Plum City became eligible to receive those funds.

How Do You Feel About Wedding Registries?
Your Two Cents: Buying Gifts From Wedding Registries
by POPSUGAR Smart Living 47 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Wedding registries are a sensible way for couples to get the things they need for their home, and they certainly make it easy on guests when figuring what to buy for newlyweds. But I know some wedding guests who complain that wedding registries make gift giving uncomfortable because the couple knows exactly how much was spent on the gift. There are no rules that say wedding registries are a must for the bride and groom or for the guests to use, but I also don't know any couples that have chosen to go without one.

I used to be one of those people that never picked from the registry... Now That I am getting married I see the error of my ways lol... A birthday gift is easy to keep, exchange, regift, etc... However a wedding is a MUCH diffrent thing... I have so many items I did not register for that are now piled up in a spare room, because A) I have no use for them, and B) I have no idea where to return them. Luckily Some guests gave me gift recipts... By the way does anyone want a toaster oven/broiler?

I don't have a problem with using registries. Generally, money is usually the standard gift for Asian weddings and most of my guests didn't even understand the concept of wedding registries. I had a registry setup for my non-Asian guests though.
sillystring32 6 years
I'm late in responding, but I chose not to register at all. Some people kind of freaked out that I didn't register, but in the end people who wanted to know what we needed ASKED. I don't get why that's such a big deal for guests to ask the couple or family memebers "what do you need?". Having myself or someone in our families tell guests what we needed is really no different than guests looking it up themselves on a registry. We didn't have specific brands in mind, but we know we needed pots and pans, a coffee pot etc...so guests can go out and decide which exact item to purchase. I like giving some of the gift giving power back to our guests. I think people have just become so accustomed to registires that they get nervous without them, but people had weddings and gave gifts before registries!

I don't think most brides would judge how much a gift cost...at least I hope not! I am getting married in 6 weeks and registered at Crate & Barrel, Pottery Barn & Target! We made sure that there gifts in ALL price ranges so no one would feel pressure to overspend...I literally have tealight holders on there for 99 cents...its the thought that counts, right?

Yes - seriously, a BIRTHDAY registry. I don't know about you, but when I invite people to my birthday dinner or party, I do NOT expect gifts and am almost embarrassed if I've picked a fairly pricey place to dine. If someone comes with a gift, that is a bonus, but honestly surprises me. But this woman had a 60th birthday bash, rented out the cafe of a well-known museum in London and actually mailed a list to all the guests of the gifts she wanted. I felt like I was paying an entry fee! Perhaps I would have minded less if the gifts were like a) a charitable donation to the charity of her choice or b) a box of macaroons, wine, whatever but everything on her list was over £100 per item! I *do* think wedding registries are appropriate as (most) guests will tend to bring gifts no matter what you say, so especially for a young couple just starting out or a couple moving into a new home together, they are useful. JUST SAY NO TO BIRTHDAY REGISTRIES lol!

I never had the opportunity to buy from a registry. I would love for people to set up registries for all gift-giving occasions so I don't have to pull my hair out trying to figure out what to get. Why should weddings and baby showers be the only things people are "allowed" to have registries for, anyway? How about house warming registries, and yeah, birthday registries. I'm not a mind reader and I don't aspire to be one. As long as there wouldn't be some kind of major meltdown on the giftee's part if people buy stuff that aren't on the registry, what's the problem? Hmm... maybe it would be great if you could set up registries that aren't tied to a particular store. Maybe a website for registries that lets people log in and call dibs on buying certain things. It could even have links to price comparisons, like bizrate but with a registries function. Wonder if something like that exists already. If it doesn't, someone can potentially get rich off setting something like that up.

We are doing it the Asian way, CASH! My fiance already has a fully furnished house so we don't need anything for the home. Where I come from, the custom is to give the couple cash in a red packet. Very practical and definitely more useful since the couple can decide how they want to spend it whether it is defraying wedding costs, setting up their new house, honeymoon or saving up.

Before I got married, I gave one gift from a registry, and one small thing that was not on there (with the gift receipt of course). Now, I just give money so the couple can shop together afterwards, or save it for their future.

LOVE the registry idea. As someone mentioned above, I used to buy non-reg gifts, but knowing what went into our registry (ie., cookery stuff we'd never buy ourselves, but really needed rather than "making do"), I've changed my tune. My mother, however, is bucking the idea of the registry - as I did at first. I didn't feel comfortable asking guests to buy specific things; luckily my fiance got me past that, but it's still an uncomfortable zone for my mom!

Crystalvillage06, that's exactly what happened to me...I've found that people sometimes try to find an item you registered for a better price at another store, and then they buy it from that other store, not thinking/realizing that someone will probably buy the same one that you registered for, and then you have duplicates. I am always conscious of this and make sure it doesn't happen when I'm the gift-giver.
emalove 6 years
I prefer to buy gifts from the registry because I know that's what the couple truly wants. If I do stray from the registry, I make sure to do something original and nothing that could potentially duplicate any gift that is on the registry.

Now that I am engaged I will only buy off the registry. We have recieved 3 knive blocks. We had already opened one off our registry since it came first. We now have 2 knive blocks and have no idea where they are from. We'll probably try to regift for future weddings since we have no need for 3 sets and we can't return them.

Buying of the registry is great for someone you don't really know well. For a best friend or close sibling I suggest buying a small registry item and buying a larger more personal item from the heart. It shows that you care.

My friends would be really bummed if I bought from their registies I am known for the great gifts I pick out for people. I really put a lot of thought into them. If is someone I do not know well and I hate everything on their registry they get cash.
SussLW 6 years
My husband and I disagreed on this topic until we got married ourselves - now I totally agree with him that buying from the registry list is key. So many of his parents' friends who barely know me, are of course 30 years older and live 3000 miles away gave us random stuff that I just got frustrated. I think the main point is to only give something not on the registry if you are very close to the couple. My mom gives silver napkin rings engraved with the couple's initials (after verifying what they are/will be) because it's a family tradition for us. I would have preferred something like this over a silver ice bucket or hideous vases I will never use.
reena2 6 years
While I definitely consult registries (if available) for all wedding gifts, I will purchase off them for people I do not know well. If I do know the couple well I will often purchase something that I know they will like (e.g. something that they have mentioned they like) it adds an element of surprise or combine something with a registry item. The one thing I do not like about online registries is that the couple 'knows' what they are going to receive. (I also once bought a wedding gift around Christmas and had several items (including lingerie) rung up all at once - that couple had access to all the items rung up at that time. I received several items that I did not register for - yet *absolutely* love and the item never fails to remind me of the person whom I received it from.
Rebecca101 6 years
Personally, I Think it's just plain rude not to buy off the registry unless you are giving cash/check. A couple has taken the time to register (and it does take time), has picked out what they want and need (oh, but you'd like to substitute your taste for theirs? how thoughtful...), and I think everyone understands that people have different budgets, that's why most people put differently priced items on the list (and I was happy to get each one, and never thought "oh they only spent $__)-- and, if a couple obnoxiously puts only way high end items in the registry, give them cah or a gift card... Oh, and all this only applies to wedding registries...birthday registries!!??? you have got to be kidding me!
faerymagick15 6 years

I think wedding registries are helpful when you don't really know a couple that well. I think it's perfectly acceptable for close friends and family to go off the registry and buy a gift with a little more meaning.

Kimpossible 6 years
I think registeries are great. And most couples who make them know that their guests finances vary and I think they add items to the list accordingly. So no need imo to get upset that the couple will know how much you spent on an item.
bengalspice 6 years
I love registries. Takes the thinking and stress out of buying a gift. I like the idea of a Birthday registry. It sure would have helped when I was receiving duplicate pieces of clothes, or a heinous outfit from some family friend who didn't give much thought to the fact that every auntie and uncle was giving me some outfit I was never going to wear. [I mean really, how many occasions can one find to wear a salwar or a sari outside of Asia]. I ended up re-gifting half the stuff I ever got for my birthday to less fortunate cousins in Bangladesh. Great for them, sucked for me.
oliveoyle625 6 years
Sometimes, it can seem a bit impersonal, since there was no room for your own thought put into purchasing a gift especially if a really dear friend(s) are getting married. But, I guess, at the end of the day, if its something they love and you get to see them using it every time you visit, that works too!

CASH. help them with saving for a house, debt, car, baby, whatever. I think its more useful then what you are pressured to register for.

I always like to give cash as wedding gifts. You can't hide what you spend, but I feel like every new couple should get some decent bucks as gifts to buy whatever they didn't receive.
Annika2494003 6 years
I stick to the registry if I buy it in store and can hand deliver the gift. Otherwise, I get a gift card for the couple... the shipping charges can add up and I would rather the couple have the money I spend on shipment than give it to the postal gods! Not as fun but better for the couple's pocketbook!
bluebloom 6 years
The only two options I exercise when buying wedding gifts are registry/wishlist or cash. With the first option, I'm sure that I'm not gifting them with clutter. With the second option, I can help defray the insane costs that seem to creep in when planning a wedding or honeymoon. I understand wanting to get them something that reminds them of you, but I just don't think that giving someone a gift is about you; it should be about them. Also, I like gifts that continue to be useful (registering for something is a good indicator of that) or that give an experience (like a massage or dinner for two or something) rather than an item they don't use but feel guilty about giving away.

a birthday registry????? That's crazy! I've never even thought about worrying that the bride and groom will know how much I spent. A gift is just that, A GIFT.

Gift registries for weddings I can understand, even though I don't think I'll want one myself, but I went to a party recently for a woman who had a BIRTHDAY GIFT registry. It was more like a list. And it included a Hermes scarf and Sisley makeup (which I was responsible for). WTF?!!?!

i had the pleasure of working in the housewares department of a major department store. PLEASE buy off the registry! i took back so many returns of random stuff that the couple didn't register for. if you don't want to go off the registry, either get a gift card, or something YOU KNOW the couple will use. nothing engraved, cuz then they're stuck with that, and NO PICTURE FRAMES!!! it seems like people who don't go off the registry always buy frames. i don't get it.

I think it's really to sort out quantity. This is why i use amazon's wish list, so I don't end up with two of something. When you hand a list out to people, if everyone buys you the sheet set - well that is pretty useless. So i like that the registry tells you who bought what and what is left, etc.

I tended to buy non-registry gifts until I got married! Now I totally understand why it can be especially thoughtful to buy a registry gift --- we wouldn't have enough matching plates or flatware, for example, if 95% of people hadn't bought gifts off of our registries.

I love using the gift registery because the couple will enjoy and utilize the item(s).

speaking from personal experience, i don't think the married couple pays attention to the price tag on the gifts they receive, even when they set up the registry with an eye towards all budgets. I was excited to receive a full set of china and flatware, but didn't spend time counting who gave me 2 plates and who forked over for a full place setting for 6... for me the benefits definitely outweigh the possible negatives
