Two people were arrested Monday after police say they placed a hidden camera inside a locker at a Wisconsin workout facility.
According to a release from the Pleasant Prairie Police Department, a member of the RecPlex reported finding a camera in the women's locker room. Police were called to the scene and found two cameras inside an upper and lower locker.
Officials were able to locate the owner of the cameras and took them into custody Monday. A police investigation resulted in the arrest of two people, 27-year-old Melissa A. Wenckenbach of Pleasant Prairie, and a 36-year-old Waukegan man.
Wenckenbach has been charged with representations depicting nudity and the Waukegan man was charged with party to representations depicting nudity. Wenkenbach's RecPlex membership was also revoked.
Police are trying to determine how the video was used or distributed. They say the incident was isolated to the women's locker room between January and early April.
"While we are unable to predict when people will enter this facility with malicious intent, when an incident like this occurs, we are prepared to take serious action to hold the parties accountable for their actions. This is not a matter we take lightly," Village Administrator Michael Pollocoff said.
A search warrant was issued for a residence in Waukegan that may be linked to the case. The investigation is ongoing. If you believe that you have information that could assist in the investigation, please contact the Pleasant Prairie Police Department at 262-948-8910 or email email@example.com.

This hand blender is good for blending, whisking and beating. There is no covering on top because of which things fly around when blending in a bowl. It cant be used in all types of utensils.The product is not sturdy enough to do chopping. I had to buy a chopper seperately!
Makes quick onion, ginger, tomato, garlic paste, wonderful for whipping eggs and cooked daal. Its easy to clean. However I have noted some rust gathering on it. Looks like we have to keep it dry after washing.
i wait some days for this product one day flipkart offered me to buy this i quickly brought i thought it would be a great blender and as well as chopper, blender is very good buttttt the chopper is not good it is not able to chop properly.it is good if you want to buy only blender and think chopper is a complimentary gift with it as a free gift the chopper is fine, only then you will feel good after buy it..over all good in this price.. giving three star
This is the WORST PRODUCT i had ever bought........
I bought this blender product on march 13 and it got jammed in April within 1 month ...
from then I am trying to contact jaipan and its really a pain in ass to contact and cordinates with these illiterates customer care executives....
It made me feel like some household illetrates are sitting to solve your problem , they will put you on hold for 5 -10 min and your phone get disconnected.... its really frustrating
WORST WORST!!!!!!! never buy JAIPAN productsssssssssssssss
Flipkart should stop selling such kind of products...
This pro... (Expand)
Awesome and handy product and again it's affordable and unmatched price by flipkart... Service of flipkart is truly amazing....
Different blades are very useful for every specific purpose....Overall must buy great quality product at great price...
the product heats up fast . other similar products are much better than this ... it is better to buy another product .. in the similar range ...
The motor is weak and doesn't perform up to the mark.
Chopper doesn't work, under powered.
In all, don't buy it, thanks to Flipkart for easy return policy (View complete review)
I gifted it to some one and he is happy with it.
Getting it with many accessories at good price. It goes sold many time. Grab it as u get it. (View complete review)
I bought this 6 months back and laying idle. The motor torque is not at all strong and tends to stall if thick materials needs to be blended. The motor gets heated up quickly. Good for making lassi. (View complete review)
Great product. Working amazingly... I am happy with the product. For daily use it is just perfect... :) (View complete review)
I ordered first hand blender for myself and liked it and since then I ordered 3 for my sisters and Massi. I wasn't getting the chattney attachment with any other brand under this range and I got with this one and using it to the fullest. Worth buying in this range.
Only one point which annoys... (View complete review)

Evergreen Park Community High School was recently recognized by ACT for 2012 graduate, David Hector, who earned a top composite score of 36 on the ACT college and career readiness exam. The recognition took place at an ACT-sponsored conference in St. Charles, IL in October.
"Earning a top score of 36 on the ACT is an extremely strong academic achievement," said Galen Johnson, ACT's Midwest region assistant vice president. "The ACT is a curriculum-based exam that measures what students have learned in school. When a student earns a 36, it's not only an indication of outstanding individual achievement but also a tribute to the quality of support and educational opportunities provided and facilitated by the school in which the student has learned."
In general, less than one-tenth of 1 percent of students who take the ACT Test earn a top composite score of 36. Of the more than 1.66 million students in the graduating class of 2012 who took the ACT Test across the nation, only 781 achieved a 36.
ACT research shows that students who take a core college preparatory curriculum in high school tend to perform better on the ACT – and are more likely to be ready for college and career when they graduate – than those who don't. High schools can contribute to student achievement by providing access to high quality, challenging courses that focus on the rigorous academic skills needed for success in college and career.
The ACT comprises subject area tests in English, math, reading, and science. Each test is scored on a scale of 1 to 36. The ACT composite score is the average of the four individual test scores. Students who earn a top ACT composite score of 36 can typically choose from the widest range of future educational opportunities. Hector is currently a freshman at Northwestern University. ACT scores are accepted at all major colleges and universities across the nation.

A flurry of Real Madrid corners now and Barcelona really are looking on the back foot. Madrid haven't looked this good in a Clasico since the 2011 Copa del Rey final - the only one they've actually won in the past few years - and that's an encouraging sign since they're playing good, positive football. Maybe future Clasicos will be less whiny than they've been over the past couple of seasons.
Anyway, Barcelona finally clear but they don't hold the ball for long, thanks to a blown offside call, and Madrid can once again go on the attack. The very odd thing about the match is how poor a game Sergio Busquets is having. The Barca midfielder is usually in complete control of the centre of the pitch, but right now Kaka and Ozil are going through him like he's not there. It's still 0-0, but there's no way this game ends scoreless.
For more on the two teams, check out Real Madrid blog Managing Madrid and FC Barcelona blog Barca Blaugranes. We have live coverage of the match in our Real Madrid vs. Barcelona, 2012 El Clasico StoryStream.

They spotted 17-year olds Walter Rosenborough, Ronnie Williams, and Quitin Gadson, 18-year olds Christopher Nundra and Henry Bush, and a 16-year old enter the Church of God on Independent Street.
All the boys are charged with several counts of burglary.

First, the athlete should maintain a healthy diet every day, not just on game day, for overall well-being.
Suggested foods:Some kind of pasta is a good lunch or dinner choice.
Others:Cereals and grains
Peanut butter crackers
Peanut butter sandwich
French toast
Orange juice
Lean Meats
Avoid dairy products high in fat. Low fat yogurt would be fine.
Adequate fluid intake is important before and during the game to avoid dehydration... but again, too much is not good medicine. In addition to water, sport drinks or fruit juices are good choices.
If your practices or games are late in the afternoon, right after school, make sure you eat breakfast and lunch that day. Some fruit like bananas or oranges one hour before the practice or game would be a good booster.

It was a very long, very hard season for Rajon Rondo. It may well prove to be one of the most important of his career.
Consider the circumstance for a moment. Rondo lost the two best performing teammates he's ever had (and perhaps will ever play with again). One of them was by most accounts his best friend on the team (marking the 2nd time he's said goodbye to his closest teammate via trade). He also lost the only NBA coach he's ever played for - a guy that he refers to as a father figure and friend that he still keeps in contact with.
He was stuck rehabbing his knee while the team and fans waited impatiently for him to return. He wisely took his time returning in order to make sure his body was right - despite a competitive drive that made him want to help his teammates.
By the time he finally did arrive, he was greeted with questions about tanking and fans not really interested in wins. He was treated to what seems like his 8th year of rampant trade rumors and speculation. He posted some of his lowest numbers of his career while working himself back into game shape and situationally resting his rehabbed knee.
He had to get used to a new coaching staff, new offensive and defensive systems, new teammates, and lowered expectations. Next year figures to include more change and there's always that chance that he could finally be traded elsewhere.
So what did it all mean? Was it all just a big waste of time? Would it have been better just to fast forward to next season and never have bothered with this one? I don't think so. I think he learned a lot and perhaps even grew a lot.
Obviously I don't know the man and probably never will. But a lot has been written and said about his personality over the years and he has described himself as being "stubborn" and "difficult to coach." Apparently he's clashed (at least initially) with every coach he's had from high school right on up to Doc Rivers. So it was a legit concern for people to see him paired up with a guy that had no NBA coaching experience.
By most outward accounts, Brad Stevens and Rajon Rondo got along just fine. Perhaps the lone exception was the "Birthdaygate" situation that probably was overblown. (Of course if anything happens between Rondo and Stevens from now on, this may retroactively be pointed to as the beginning of the end).
Rondo and Stevens each have calculating minds and both are known for a fierce competitive streak. It was just 30 games, but they were around each other for the whole year and it seems like they were on the same page. While he was injured, Rondo even played the role of assistant coach and talked about someday becoming a head coach himself after his playing days.
These are the kinds of things that cross one's mind when he has a lot of time on his hands. Rondo certainly had that over the summer and well into the season. For a guy that's always 3 steps ahead, that must have been frustrating, humbling, and in the end character building. Nobody likes lessons like that, but begrudgingly we often look back on rough times in our live and admit that we came out better for it in the long run.
Rondo is still going to be Rondo. He's going to zig when you expect him to zag. He's going to drop triple doubles just because he can. He's going to give one word answers to questions from the media when the questions aren't interesting enough to warrant more. And more often than not, he's going to be the best, most exciting player on the court for either team playing.
Still, he's a year older and perhaps many years wiser now. He's been through the worst case scenario for a player and handled himself as well as you'd expect. Assuming he doesn't get traded he'll have a clean slate and a new set of teammates to run with next season. He's still got a long career ahead of him and his legacy as a player and hopefully as a Celtic is stretched out before him.
This past year was a rebuilding year for the Celtics, but it was also one for Rajon Rondo as well. He rebuilt his knee, and he developed as a leader as well as a player. So it wasn't all for naught. It will be interesting to read the next chapter of this book.

[Thanks to CowBearsFan for today's game preview. I'll be at the UC tonight, so follow during the game for hot hot tweets. -ed.]
The Bulls have their home opener tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies, the surprise team out of last year's Western Conference playoffs. We're taking a two game win streak back home to the UC. The Grizzlies (1-2) are looking to find a bit of rhythm after losing their first two games and finally got their first win of the season against Houston Friday night after Z-Bo dropped 23 and 9 on Houston. This is a match-up I myself have a particular interest in as it may be a game I'll be watching live in a little over two weeks.
The big question of the season on the Memphis Grizzlies was how Rudy Gay would fit back in after the Grizzlies changed the identity and focused on getting the ball inside after his season-ending shoulder surgery last year. He's acclimated himself very well this season, averaging 16.7 points over 3 games and has recorded double digit rebounds every game so far. If there's a strength on this Memphis team, it's rebounding, as Gay, Marc Gasol, and Z-Bo are all averaging over 8 rebounds a game. However, they're missing a few key guys as Darrell Arthur (out for the season with a torn Achilles), Mike Conley (out for tonight with a sprained ankle; on that note, their starter is likely to be Jeremy Pargo as they recently traded Greivis Vasquez to New Orleans for Quincy Pondexter) and Xavier Henry (out for a month or so) are not playing tonight.
My keys for the game:
1) Our bigs need to slow down Z-Bo and Gasol if we want to have any chance at this. Jo kind of got bullied by Demarcus Cousins in our last game against Sacramento. Z-Bo and the not Gasoft brother are bangers and no matter what assignment he draws tonight, he's got to be effective defensively. Jo doesn't have to do it alone though, as we've got guys on the bench (specifically, Asik) who match up well against their bigs. Neutralizing their inside attack will be pivotal as the Grizz are shooting 17.9% from deep this year, so keeping them from pounding us inside will be huge.
2) The MVP has to dominate Jeremy Pargo. When you come up with matchups that favor us this strongly, we have to take advantage. Derrick needs to realize he has a Pargo across from him, and then destroy his pride in front of his brother. Jeremy's filled in admirably for Mike Conley, averaging 11 points and 5.3 assists a game.
3) Take care of the basketball. I know, cliche, but the Bulls are averaging 16 turnovers a game while the Grizzlies are forcing 19 a game. Last year, the Grizzlies led the league in forced turnovers and were second on points off turnovers, so this team is good at turning defense into offense.
As I said earlier, I want to go see this matchup on MLK day, so I hope the game is an interesting implication of what I'll see live in 15 days, but with the weakest matchup on the floor going in our favor (a Pargo vs the MVP), I believe we have a great shot in taking this game going away.

Walk in Beauty
By Elisabeth Flaum
Inspired by Navajo philosophy, Walk in Beauty is a call to enjoy and appreciate the wonders and beauty of nature, as expressed by the weather and scenery of the Pacific Northwest.
About the Author
I've always enjoyed science fiction and fantasy stories in all their forms: books, movies, TV shows, even toys. Only recently, at an age when I'd have thought myself past it, I have become a "fan". Somehow, being a "fan" brought out the latent writer in me; somehow, these characters and their world inspire me like nothing else. It's been a treat to write for them.
I've also been known to write about the weather. I live in the Pacific Northwest, where our glorious seasons and stunning landscape have inspired a year's worth of poetry from me. Now there's a book of that as well. :-)

(Los Alamitos, 8/21/2014) by Highlands Guy: The following data was extracted from the website, 'transparentcalifornia.com." It reflects information supplied by the City of Los Alamitos for the 2012 fiscal year.
I offer it just as food for thought, without any political point of view. This actually means I don't know yet how it fits in with my thoughts of what is appropriate or necessary or the desired level of pay to run our city.
[Editors comment from Dave E: Very interesting reading. The list appears to be ranked by total annual pay and benefits, from the greatest to the least. Every employee appears to be ranked separately. Part Time employees have PT after their job description.
I'm guessing that pension costs are not included, but haven't been able to verify that as yet. Straight comparisons to your own monthly salary let alone monthly take-home pay should be avoided unless you include your employer's costs for your medical and other benefits, including their half of your Social Security (FICO).
You may enjoy, as I did, going to the Transparent California website and comparing with other cities and districts. For example, our School District has 4 Superintendents who make more than Los Al's City Manager, and ten who made more than Los Al PD's Captain or Los Al's Community Development Director Total pay & benefits for the District's highest paid teacher in 2013 was $131,660.]
You make the call. Please note that the pay scale has increased a couple of times since the publication of the data: Continue reading

Wilmington is a town in Windham County, Vermont, United States. The population was 2,225 at the 2000 census.
The town was chartered in 1751 by Benning Wentworth, colonial governor of New Hampshire. It was named in honor of Spencer Compton, 1st Earl of Wilmington. Wilmington is the home of Haystack Mountain Ski Area,[citation needed] which operates as a private Club.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 41.3 square miles (106.9 km2), of which 39.4 square miles (102.1 km2) is land and 1.8 square miles (4.7 km2) (4.39%) is water. Wilmington is drained by the North Branch Deerfield River, as well as Meadow Brook, Rose Brook, Haystack Brook, Hall Brook, Ellis Brook, Beaver Brook, Negus Brook and Wilder Brook. It is located in the Deerfield Valley of the Green Mountains.
The town is crossed by Vermont Route 9 and Vermont Route 100.
As of the census[1] of 2000, there were 2,225 people, 992 households, and 597 families residing in the town. The population density was 56.4 people per square mile (21.8/km2). There were 2,232 housing units at an average density of 56.6 per square mile (21.9/km2). The racial makeup of the town was 97.80% White, 0.22% African American, 0.27% Native American, 0.58% Asian, 0.18% from other races, and 0.94% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.94% of the population.
There were 992 households out of which 26.0% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 48.6% were married couples living together, 7.8% had a female householder with no husband present, and 39.8% were non-families. 32.5% of all households were made up of individuals and 8.0% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.24 and the average family size was 2.84.
In the town the population was spread out with 21.6% under the age of 18, 7.0% from 18 to 24, 26.7% from 25 to 44, 30.6% from 45 to 64, and 14.1% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 42 years. For every 100 females there were 101.0 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 98.7 males.
The median income for a household in the town was $37,396, and the median income for a family was $46,786. Males had a median income of $29,511 versus $23,417 for females. The per capita income for the town was $25,171. About 7.0% of families and 9.3% of the population were below the poverty line, including 15.2% of those under age 18 and 5.6% of those age 65 or over.
A consolidation took place between Whitingham High School (WHS) and Wilmington Middle High School (WMHS) and the local school is now called Twin Valley High School (TVHS). Towards the end of 2005, a proposal was made to construct a new high school, however, voters rejected the needed bond issue.
Vermont snowfall record[edit]
Wilmington is in the heart of the Southern Vermont snowbelt. This snowbelt lies mainly within the southern Vermont portion of the Green Mountain National Forest and includes the high elevation Southern Vermont towns of Woodford, Searsburg, Wilmington and Marlboro.[3] Between February 24 and February 27, 2010, Wilmington received a record 54 in (1.4 m) of snow. Over 4 ft (1.2 m) of snow fell during this February 2010 blizzard. Snowfall amounts of 54 in (1.4 m)[4] up to 67 in (1.7 m) were reported for Wilmington, West Dover and the surrounding towns. The February 2010 blizzard in Wilmington and West Dover appears to be the single storm snowfall record for anywhere in the state of Vermont in Vermont weather record keeping history. The previous single storm snowfall record was 50 in (1.3 m) between March 2–5, 1947 in Readsboro, Vermont.[5]
Notable people[edit]

- Elswyth Thane, romance novelist
- James Manning Tyler, judge and US congressman
- Halsey (H.W.) Wilson, publisher
This climatic region is typified by large seasonal temperature differences, with warm to hot (and often humid) summers and cold (sometimes severely cold) winters. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Wilmington has a humid continental climate, abbreviated "Dfb" on climate maps.[6]

Strife at IC Entertainment
by Jonathan Mays,
Oct 6th 2003
The future of
I.C. Entertainment
is in question following a mass staff resignation. Several former IC Ent employees who left during the resignation claim they were not paid from June 16 to July 31 and that they still have not received full backpay as of October 4th. ANN has attempted to reach
I.C. Entertainment
for over three weeks, but multiple phone calls were not returned. Three of these former IC Ent employees agreed to be interviewed by ANN:
To begin, could each of you state your name, position, and how long you've been working for
I.C. Entertainment
Duane Johnson
, translator (shipper for a short time), worked there for two years. I was unpaid the first several months, but I count it as officially worked time.
Stephanie Brown
, editor, volunteered from November 1997 until Spring internship in senior semester of college in 2000, then hired on as Editor in June 2000. So I worked almost three years volunteering before three years of actually getting paid.
Ellen Ohlmacher
, graphics editor, worked at IC for slightly over a year. I also was a volunteer for three months (of the one year I was there).
What happened between you and IC Ent?
Well, there were several factors leading up to the mass exodus of staff. For one thing, it was a general practice of the Bennetts to expect anyone interested in working at IC to work for free for a while. And it was like pulling teeth to even get paid.
IC has always been a very small, very low profit margin company. Pretty much everyone had to do that—some longer than others.
So you come on board as FREE staff, and there's no set time for how long you're expected to work like that. You're just expected to come in as long as you possibly can and accept it. And once you get it settled about getting paid, it was ALWAYS delayed. I was supposed to be on the payroll when I graduated college at the beginning of May 2001. I didn't receive my first paycheck until the end of June that year, even though I was coming in every day for six hours of work each time.
I was told by both Steve and his father (now deceased) that I would be on a trial basis at a starting $6.00 with a raise in a few months. Steve's dad passed away, and I never got that raise. Steve snapped at me for even asking. And I was still expected to pull all-nighters and work at conventions for free at the table and all sorts of stuff. I put up with it because I really wanted to do the work I was doing: putting together comic books and graphic novels.
Fast-forward to present time after years of low pay and living paycheck to paycheck.
Kei Blue
did manage to get me a $.25 raise soon after she came on board, but that's all she could get out of Steve. And come April 2003, several employee paychecks bounce. Kei takes care of the problem, and new checks are written. In June 2003, Steve puts a freeze on all paychecks. That first pay period ended with a con, Anime Mid-Atlantic. At that con, we (Kei, Jason, Duane, Ellen and myself) told Kevin that we would quit if they didn't pay us. None of us could afford not to receive that crap pay. It barely covered our living expenses, so NOT getting it would be a very BIG problem.
After AMA, we got our paychecks, with much grumbling from Steve. He acted like he didn't want to give us any money and that some of us didn't deserve to be paid. After that point he was always suspicious of Kei and Jason working from home. After THAT paycheck, another pay freeze was enacted. But the promise of several payments from distributors owed to the company was dangled like a carrot, and we stayed on, waiting for the money to come in so we could be paid. We continued to work, but on July 15th, I broke down and told Steve on AIM that I would quit at the end of the month if I didn't get paid. (I considered this my two weeks' notice, which both Bennetts claim no one did. I have a log of it, so I have proof I was going to quit on July 31st.) He talked me down, promising to catch up on paychecks some time after Otakon, relying on cash flow from cons.
By July 31st, I was tired of waiting, and so was everyone else. We left. I packed up all my belongings and computer equipment lent by my father and myself. Steve was notified in a phone call that very day that we quit. I told him specifically that it included Duane, Jason, Kei, and Ellen.
My situation was slightly different from Stepanie's. I did not have as much trouble getting my pay while I was working for IC. My payment was primarily handled by Kei via PayPal, as I was working off-site. I received my last paycheck from IC on March 31st.
By July 31st I had only been paid an amount equal to 1/3 a single month's paycheck by
Kevin Bennett
. My boyfriend at the time was supporting me. By July 31st his debt had piled up, and I could no longer afford to live with him. I quit IC with my fellow employees and returned to my parent's home to rebuild my life.
That was after Anime MidAtlantic in June, by the way.
Yes, the small payment made by Kevin was in early July.
I came on during August of 2001. I had been working in the IT field, making almost $40k/year, but I didn't like it very much, so when I got wind that IC was in need of a translator, I went for it. Previously, Kevin's wife
Sachiko Uchida
had been doing translation for all the IC books. She had been working for two years or so, completely without pay. I was warned that I would be expected to work for free at first, but I had several thousand in savings, and I kept the IT job until March 2002. My first eight months of work with IC were unpaid.
Who warned you?
Stephanie warned me—as in a "You know how Steve is"-kind of warning. And she was right.
And then Steve confirmed it...
I had arranged with Steve that I would be paid beginning in December 2001. In April 2002, I still had not been paid. I fought and fought and finally got Steve to issue me backpay dating to December 2001, so effectively I went four months without pay, but half of it was retroactive. My pay rate was $2/page in each manga I did. Just for reference, industry standard is $5/page, 2.5 times what I made at IC. And there was a time when Steve tried to pay me even less—
He's very forgetful, and he misunderstood one of our conversations to mean that I wanted $.02/word. That would have been far less overall than $2/page. Anyway, things went from there until the issues started arising in the spring of this year. My story basically mirrors Stephanie's at that point, aside from the constant menial chores I was made to do towards the end of my tenure, such as drafting emails for Steve, like I was a secretary or something. But before I sink into bitterness...
May I add something very quickly? To clarify: while Kei was paying me via PayPal, it was Kevin who later denied me pay. Kei herself never denied me pay.
Yeah, Kei was told not to make any further payments to anyone via PayPal.
Nor did she ever deny Stephanie or myself pay.
Exactly how long have you been without pay? Was anyone else at the company paid during this time?
No paychecks were written for anyone from June 16 to July 31, when we quit. So Duane, Jason Balduf, Kei, and myself were without pay for six weeks (three quarterly pay periods) Ellen was without pay for four months. She was paid a monthly freelance rate. And for most of July, Steve refused to write any checks—even for bills and creditors. His way of dealing with the finances was to try and ignore everyone asking for money owed to them. He was constantly putting us all off, including a printer.
As she said, I was unpaid for four months. I continued to work, however, because I loved my job and had faith the money would come. I realized other employees were being paid while I was not, but I wished the best for the company and did not quit until I could no longer afford to work, even with the promise of pay in the future.
Provided he was telling us the truth, Steve did not pay himself either during the six-week pay freeze. And Kevin has pretty much never been paid.
I think that's part of the reason they expect everyone else to work for free when they start there. Because if THEY had to, why not others?
We heard sob stories on a regular basis. This is not well known, but not long before we left, Steve offered Stephanie and me cash handouts of $100 each, from earnings from a small con. We refused them for three reasons. It was cash, which is untraceable and shady for both sides. It was only offered to the two of us, not to Kei or Jason or Ellen. That's partiality, and it disgusted us. Third, what could we have done with a measly $100 each?
It helped reaffirm the desire to quit and find other jobs.
Were you at any point given a reason for the lapse in payment?
Not enough money in the company account. It was valid, but when Kei set up an appointment with a loan officer at the bank, Steve never went to the meeting. He didn't want to ask his family to lend the company money either. And he didn't seem to be doing anything to raise substantial money for the company beyond going to small cons to sell books.
Which generated piddly amounts.
And "Save Ironcat" t-shirt ideas, which never got made. It was empty promises left and right.
Stephanie, you mentioned "several payments from distributors owed to the company." Were distributors late in paying IC Ent?
I think so. As the shipping department consisted of one person for the past 6 years, with a high turnover rate, the only time there seemed to be payments in a timely manner were when Kei first started working there. Once her duties started increasing, we had to find others to take on those duties. No one was able to catch up or keep up with the lag in shipping and invoices after that. At least, not as far as I could tell. The company didn't have any set late payment fees, so distribution companies got away with late payments A LOT in the past up to the present.
In time, problems in shipping became much more apparent. It was too much for one person to handle, but there was no help available beyond sporadic volunteers, and Steve didn't want to hire more employees to handle the increased production and shipping load. I think Kirk was the only employee we had who didn't have to work for free when he started. He was the last shipping personnel.
Just insufficient payments in the company bank account, not enough income from product sales.
I was also told that there was a lack of funds in the IC account to pay me. I was told this, of course, while other employees were still receiving pay.
When was this?
I honestly don't recall the specific date Kevin explained the situation to me. I believe I had been unpaid at least two months before I got an official explanation.
When you brought up the pay freeze with IC Ent, what was the response?
Well, the pay freeze...Every time I tried to ask for a specific date on payment, it got brushed off. I was told to be patient, to keep working and, well, "borrow money from my parents" to keep financially afloat. I nearly exploded with Steve then. My father's lent over $2000 of computer equipment to the company. He's come in on his own free time to fix computer problems time and again. And they've BEEN keeping me financially afloat by helping me with my car repairs and chiropractic care for several years. It was very insulting to me that Steve expected me to ask more of my parents like that.
I don't believe my personal conversations with Steve are appropriate to air in public, but in summary I was told there was no money. Like Stepahnie, I was never given a date when the pay would arrive. I was asked to continue working for the good of the company.
Steve's basic attitude, not just towards us but towards the printer IC was in debt to and anyone else the company owed money, was, "I can only do what I can do."
And "I'll do what I can," which translated into NOTHING.
Which turned out to mean filibuster and delay as long as possible, not making any real effective effort that we could see towards bringing in more revenue.
What measures did you take that you hoped would bring your work payment?
The only thing I could do was to continue working on books and trying to get some out on time.
Prior to quitting, I did my job for IC full time in hopes that doing so would generate the money necessary to fund my own paycheck. At this point, I have received only one more check from IC. I've made attempts to have a date set for the remainder of the money, but I have not received a date from the Bennetts.
At this point in time, all of us owed backpay (with the exception of Kei) have received one check. However, in every single case the amount on the check was lower than expected. We have not been offered a satisfactory reason as to why, though in my case at least I see what they did wrong. They repaid me for two pay periods I had already been paid for before the pay freeze went into effect, and they only paid me for one of the three they owed me from during the freeze.
The invoices were mislabeled to start, as well.
So we're still waiting to receive the rest of our backpay, and Kei has not been paid at all.
Do you still possess any work material owned by IC Ent?
I have personal files regarding my hours worked at the company. Even on my sick days and when I had injured my back (herniated disk), I still tried to work from home. As for books and whatnot, I only have my comp copies of graphic novels I worked on at the company. Our home is not a dumping ground for company property.
I have no IC property at my home. I do have comp copies of a few books I worked on as well as digital files of all the work I did for my own portfolio.
Likewise, the only physical things I own are my own comp copies. I still possess all translated scripts I worked on for IC. I was several months ahead on scripts when we all quit. I did the company a favor of making sure everything I did was accessible before we left. That means that I'll probably never see any money for it and would have to fight legally if I wanted to. But oh well, it was that or be selfish. I thought I'd do them a favor, not that they deserved it in my opinion.
Has IC Ent told you when to expect full pay?
No, not at all.
No, even though I've talked to Kevin on AIM several times about the rest of our backpay. I get the runaround and "we're looking into it" spiel.
Have you received back pay since leaving the company?
I have received one check for an amount less than I am owed, according to information I received from Kei, courtesy of the company's accountant. I was shorted around $50 total. No word on when I'll get the rest of it.
I also received a single check that was significantly less than what I was owed.
My response is the same as Stephanie's, though mine was short about $400, and it took over a month after our leaving the company for these checks to arrive.
Do you intend to return to work for IC Ent?
No, I do not.
Never with IC, though I continue in my job as a freelance translator specializing in manga.
You stated you resigned on July 31st. Why wait until now to make the conflict a public issue?
Because I was dealing with just getting my backpay. I didn't really feel like making a public thing about all this, but since the Bennetts dragged their feet on everything regarding our backpay, and how they messed it up, I couldn't care less now. In my eyes neither Kevin nor Steve have treated us with any true consideration, so I'm tired of being nice to the public about it. Also, there seems to be some rumor that says we want to work there again, which totally confuses me. I wanted to make it clear where I stand on all this. I was also busy dealing with the getting paperwork filed for the VA Department of Industry and Labor after we didn't receive our pay by August 15th. Ellen helped me with that.
Personally, right now I still don't believe airing this issue publicly will benefit anyone involved. However, as Stephanie mentioned there have been rumors circulating about us that are untrue. Rumors get around the manga/anime industry fairly quickly. I would not want a false rumor affecting my relationship with a future employer or co-worker.
My answer to this question is almost identical to Stephanie's, so I leave it at that.
Do you plan to work again in the anime/manga industry?
I'd like to, but we'll see what comes my way. I don't plan on moving from VA. For the time being I've found a new job, so I'm going to concentrate on getting out of debt and actually building up a savings. I want to move on with my life before I go back to the American anime industry in any way.
I'd love to continue working in the anime/manga industry. I am very grateful for my experience so far. If I had a chance I would also love to work again with my fellow former employees at IC. For now I am concentrating on getting as many odd jobs and as much freelance work as possible to pay my debt to my boyfriend ASAP.
I, in fact, still translate freelance for Digital Manga, so I haven't left the industry, but I only do one book currently (
), so I've picked up a part-time job delivering auto parts around the area. Eventually I would like to go back to translating manga full-time with a company local to the VA area, and as with Ellen I would like to have the same co-workers again—minus the Bennetts, of course.

¼ C Worcestershire sauce
1 C ketchup
¼ C brown sugar
½ C water

So if your missing my Idol Blogs I appologize. I'm getting bored with the show. I'm not excited. I DVR most episodes and sometimes watch that night, sometimes not. Tonights episode so far is 13 minutes over it's 2 hour time slot. DVR cut it off already and I'm waiting to find out who gets voted off. I hope to see Crystal and Lee in the top 2.
My cat seems to not like my dog. What would make me think that? Well besides chasing the dog he gets on top of her and bites her back. Ugh I hate cats seriosly. For one I'm allergic, and secondly they are just vile creatures who think they own your house. Counter top? Of coarse I'm allowed on it. Every now and then they are cute.
Like when they lay next to the dog instead of biting her.
Oh did I mention technically the kitten is bigger than my full grown dog. Then next thing you know he is bathing my dog.
I couldn't figure out if my dog actually liked it or was afraid he would claw her eyes out.
And then you have days where he does a non cat like thing and bathes himself in the laundry tub. No, he wasn't only drinking it he came out soaked lol
I have been racking my brain trying to figure out if I should keep my Twitter account. Do people really care what I have to say in so few words? I don't know over half the people I follow personally many are stars. They sure the he'll don't follow my tweets. Why should I care what they have to say if they don't care about little ole me? I logged into Twitter tonight and got a message I never saw before…
Btw I'm sick to fucking death of hearing about Big Ben, of what fans think about him, and the Steelers in general. Its on my tv, radio, twitter, facebook, news sites, etc. Sick of it. Who the hell cares what he did. Pay attention to your own damn girlfriends/spouses/etc. The Pens are in the playoffs dammit!!!
Idol went over 24 minutes if you care or missed it. I'm sorry but every other looser got to sing a closing song when they got booted. Booo Idol for taking up so much time you couldn't include that!
If you have a minute check my last blog post that has a short survey about my blog

Goals – last update 1/1/11
Apr 20th
Posted by Roxy in Personal Day
I decided to make a list of goals for myself. Things I need do to, things I want to do. If you read my blog from last night you may understand why I am doing this. I have alot of built up anger and negativity. I also do more for other's than I do for myself. In the case of my children it can be good but I do it in all areas of my life.
It can be so hard to change, but that negativity towards it has stopped me for many years. No more excuses. I need to take my life into my own hands and make things happen. I am responsible for making myself happy.
- Try to be more positive [trying hard, difficult when things keep going wrong] [i have been doing alot more of this, even in my blog. we all have our moments tho.] [I think I did a good job through the year. I had my ups and downs of positivity but I think I did better than I had previous years.]
- Do more for myself [since I am laid off I have time for it, no excuse] [i'm probably taking too much time for myself some days. but hey it's ok] [I didn't end the year well in this category. For some reason I get more pleasure from doing for others even if it means I am unhappy. I can't seem to break this habit.]
- Take care of myself [since I am laid off I have time for it, no excuse] [I didn't end the year doing well here either. I need to focus on this more.]
- finish last cookbook and promote it. [I did not do this at all. It is on my new list]
- go through my clothes and get rid of what i hang onto [finally went through my clothes. I now have more room in my drawers!]
- go through my house and get rid of what i hang onto [started working on this. my living room is less cluttered. need to work on the rest of the house yet] [i'm slacking, need to do more and possibly box some stuff up for a flea market] [I have been keeping busy doing things I shouldn't be doing so my hard work in the beginning is looking like I didn't bother at all] [with a remodel project i was able to get rid of many things I should have a long time ago. I can always work on this.]
- cut down on how much of my time I volunteer [already started. I have given up way to much of the last 10 years of my life] [have a camping trip this weekend which is the last of my volunteer commitments] [i went to a meeting of another organization. why do i always do this to myself? It is a good cause tho, for my kids school. the meeting was overwhelming tho and I am not sure in what capacity I will help.] [I don't volunteer for anything anymore. I do miss it though, it was rewarding.]
- learn to cook healthy food [working on it. Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution got me going!] [have been getting my kids eating better too. my oldest has been the easiest thus far, my youngest is my most difficult] [i'm doing better grocery shopping but eating out more often since i've had people to hang out with and it's tearing my stomach up.] [when i went to get my hair done she told me my hair looked healthier than ever and she said it's because I'm eating better!]
- finish dvd's of photo's on computer [yay finally done with that! now getting the kids to burn their stuff.]
- have pics printed [I had one set of pics printed and they were of my dog who passed away so I still need to do this]
- cut down on how many facebook games i play [started working on this. i cut it down to farmville, cafe world and zoo world. there were many more] [I play one game, farmville.]
- decide if twitter is necessary [for now I decided to keep it] [and i have barley used it in months now]
- decide what i want my blog to be [just about me and whatever i may fancy. i got this idea i needed a theme for awhile. screw a theme its whatever!] [check out my new goals post for this]
- organize blog labels: [This was the easiest to accomplish. I wanted my labels to be different than most. And cut down on how many I had with the wide array of topics I blog about.]
- start saving money to make my dreams come true [did not happen and I don't want to talk about it.]
- write more [i have been blogging more.] [i have been writing almost every weekday now.] [I have slacked in writing more but it's not because I don't want to I just don't have much time.]
- use my "Wreck this Journal" [this is again on my list as I haven't touched it]
To see my new goals check out Looking towards 2011.
Posative Outcome
Apr 20th
Posted by Roxy in Journaling
If you have been reading my blog you will notice I can be a very negative person. I do believe it stems from my parents. Unfortunatly it has been passed onto my children. Thankfully not as bad as far as I can tell but it's there.
My husband and I have been going to marriage counseling since November. We needed to do something or move on. I can't say things are hunky dorey but were learning to deal with each other better. In the long run whatever happens I think we will be able to talk better at least.
This evening I had a session alone. We talked about how I deal with our issues and a little about family. We had went further into family dynamics at an earlier session. There we discovered I have a huge disconnect with my fathers side of the family. I have found I would like to re-connect with them. The distance makes it difficult but it's something I hope to work on.
During tonights session we talked about my letting go of things. She shared a few ways to help me do that. I used to do Yoga until I pulled a muscle in my back though I would like to start that again too. She pulled out a deck of cards and asked me to pick one. One? Lol I went through and wound up with 6. She asked me to narrow it down to 3 and I was stuck on 4. So we dealt with the 4. She was nice enough to make copies of the cards for me.
So card 1 stated on the front:
Rely on yourself
On the back it says:
Today's lesson: look at the issue of dependency. Do you rely upon others to do what you should be doing for yourself? Healing is a solo endeaver, and while we all need support during this process, ultimatly the task of self-empowerment rests with us. Your goal: to identify and modify the ways in which you release personal responsability to others.
I do tend to make others responsable for things. One for instance is my happiness. I spent many years depressed thinking I needed validation from my husband to be happy with myself.
Card 2 front:
Let go of resentment.
On the back:
Today's lesson: acknowledge one resentful feeling you need to release, and keep in mind that all types of resentment are poisin and harm the healing process. Your goal: to become mindful of your reasons for staying angry, and to begin letting go of negative feelings by the end of the day.
I know I'm resentful of alot of things. I resent my parents for not being strict enough, for abuse, and much more. I resent my husband for not always being what I want him to be. It doesn't help me feel good and I need to learn to let go of some of these things for which I have no control over or have ended long ago.
Card 3:
Follow your dreams
Today's lesson: point out one special dream or ambition that you've vacillated about or postponed. What has motivated you to put posative actions on hold? Your goal: to determine whether your excuse is real, and if not, identify the real reason you've delayed so that you can do something about it.
So it's hard to make your dreams come true if you have all this unsettled negativity and built up anger. If you asked me earlier what is stopping me from my dreams I would have said my husband. But I have to wonder if it's my relying on him for my happiness. We don't share the same dream but I have to decide if that's what I want with or without him. I guess these all need dealt with.
Last is card 4:
Eat healthful foods
On back:
Todays lesson: eat only foods that are good for you. Perhaps this is something you normally do, in which case you should feel very good about how well you're caring for yourself. Most people, however, know that they should be more attentive to this area, but find it difficult. Your goal: to practice healthy nutrition.
This is something I have been working on. It's difficult coming home from work and not just popping in something quick. I love to cook but even before my work days I cooked fatty, fried, you name it bad food. I cooked good food too. Finding foods we will all like is also difficult as well as it does seem to cost more.
So I am going to try and think of these things and continue to work on them. I can't promise I won't bitch or vent cause sometimes you just need to, but I will try to do it less as I know it only angers me more half the time.
With that said I feel better about things after that session. I don't know what the future holds but I need to rely more on myself to be happy instead of expecting others to make me happy.

College Presents Accounting Alumni Society Lifetime Achievement Awards
Earlier today, St. John Fisher College honored James Gallagher '56 and the late Paul Wamp '68 with the Accounting Alumni Society Lifetime Achievement Award during a luncheon held at the Genesee Valley Club. The luncheon served as the kick-off event of the College's Homecoming Weekend.
Gallagher grew up in Rochester, and attended Sacred Heart School and Aquinas Institute. After graduating from Fisher, he went on to earn his MBA from Harvard Business School. He took a position in the Tax Department with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) in 1958. The company then transferred him to Orange County, California, in 1964 and he became a partner in 1970. In 1971, he was named President of the Long Beach Orange County CPA Society. And in 1973, PwC moved him to Phoenix, where he remained with the company until retiring in 1990.
From 1958-1961, Gallagher served in the New York National Guard. He was involved with several organizations, including the Tenth Ward Republican Club (Rochester), Catholic Community Foundation of Phoenix, St. Vincent de Paul Society, and St. Theresa Parish Finance Committee. In addition, he served as a board member for the Arizona State University Accounting Advisory Board, Catholic Cemeteries, Gerard Catholic High School, LaPurisima Parish Council and Parent Teachers, and the Christ Child Society.
Today, he lives in Phoenix with his wife, Barbara, and enjoys spending time with his four children and six grandchildren.
Wamp was born in Dansville in 1946. After receiving his bachelor's degree in Accounting from Fisher, he went to work as a Certified Public Accountant for Pete Marwick Mitchell in Rochester, settling in Penfield with his wife, Marilynn. He was very active in the community as a member of St. Joseph's Church, a volunteer for Catholic Charities of Rochester, and a member of the Rotary Club and Penfield Country Club. He also participated in many Fisher alumni activities.
He passed away in 1995 after a courageous battle with cancer, leaving behind his wife and their two children, Martin and Marcy. His family was at the luncheon to accept his award.
James Gallagher and President Bain.
Wamp's son (Martin), daughter (Marcy), and wife (Marilynn), accept his award during the luncheon.
