Ex-cop gets probation for stealing from police charity
BY LAUREN FITZPATRICK Sun-Times Media firstname.lastname@example.com May 24, 2012 5:46PM
Scott Webb
Updated: May 25, 2012 8:34AM
A former Woodridge police officer was sentenced Thursday two years on probation for stealing some $30,000 from a police charity that benefited survivors of slain and deceased officers, DuPage County prosecutors said.
Scott Webb, 40, had faced up to seven years in prison, DuPage County state's attorney's spokesman Paul Darrah said.
Judge Kathryn Creswell also sentenced him to 180 days in jail, but since the ex-cop had been in custody for 220 days already, he'll serve no more time behind bars, Darrah said.
Webb, of Romeoville, was involved in the organization of "Crawlin' for the Fallen," a pub crawl that benefited the Illinois Concerns for Police Survivors, prosecutors said.
Organizers noticed discrepancies in their books and called police. The investigation that followed indicated money missing from both the 2009 and 2010 events, prosecutors said.
On May 24, 2011, a DuPage County grand jury indicted Webb; that same day he withdrew about $16,000 from his bank account, told a relative to sell his personal possessions and disappeared, prosecutors said. He was arrested in October in Branson, Mo.

When I ordered these, I thought I was ordering a matching pitcher with the juice glasses and was very disappointed when I discovered I paid [$] apiece for 2 juice glasses. I feel these are very overpriced. They are pretty but not worth [$] each.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend
A beautiful Gift
By BullDawg
from Seagoville, TX
I purchased these beautiful glasses along with the pitcher for my mother as a gift...The depression era style is unique and beautiful and just what she likes...We all know our mothers are the most difficult to buy for but this product is one that any mom or anyone else would be proud to display to family and friends for generations to come...
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend
By RO RO

I think these are wonderful juice glasses. Although a little expensive I believe they will hold up much better than other glasses available. The style and color add some sunshine to the morning meal. I highly recommend these.

Beautiful Glasses
By Carol
from Alexandria, MN
About Me Stylish
I had been looking for juice glasses for a long time. (They are hard to find.)Finally, a design that is not only beautiful but evokes a lovely bit of nostalgia. The color is deep,permanent & would look great in just about any color scheme. I also love the weight of them. Even the little ones can use them without fear of tipping them over.I would like to get them in a 6 oz. size also.
couldn't have worked out better......

worked out well. My friend had been looking for red glasses and could not find them anywhere...when I saw these I had to get them for her...she loves them.

I really wanted to share my perspective on how we all must realize that 'healthy' includes so much more than 'what we eat'. It extends to who you are spending your time with and how you are spending your time. In order to have healthy relationships, you need to be healthy first. Yes, I know, seems obvious but we are always pointing fingers when things go awry, when we need to first, look inward. If you are unhappy with your health - mind, body spirit - this blog post is for you. This website is for you!
it's time to look inward & possibly detoxify your life along w/ your diet. I am doing both & it's freeing. I genuinely feel different -I am surrounding myself with wonderful supportive people. I am feeling - as of late - like the paperweight is off my back. I also feel better about how I am spending my time. The healthier I become, the healthier my environment becomes. I am spending my time doing service projects for my church, having friends over for tea, dinner, laughs - going for walks with Marley to the dog park. I am choosing not to gossip, not to surround myself with people whose source of entertainment seems to only be alcohol (stressing the 'only' b/c I have plenty of friends who meet over cocktails..big difference), not to be part of people's lives who are manipulative or simply up to 'no good' (0: I exhibited some of these behaviors along the way- gossiping, etc. So unhealthy and uncool. It wasn't who I wanted to be. You can change who you are. You learn those type of relationships were pretty shallow. You learn. You walk away. You start anew. You are a Healthier You.
I used to be involved in unhealthy relationships. Why? B/c I was a people pleaser, a bit insecure and looked to everything outside of the Lord for stability. I was unhealthy. It was me, my fault, my responsibility to change. I didn't put God first. I didn't value myself to the extent that I should have. So because I was unhealthy, I attracted unhealthy people into my life. I settled for a lessor version of me than God intended me to be. I also settled for others that felt the same way. Those days are over.
The more deeply rooted I am in my faith, the clearer my perspective about myself and how I want to spend my life, becomes. What else is becoming more clear is 'who' I want to be part of my inner circle - yes, we get to choose. We get to choose who it is that we will trust, love and share our hearts & lives with. I am choosing wisely. I hope you are too. What will become evident to you is how warming it is to your heart, to be surrounded by goodness & wellness. You will look back and be baffled at your old self, old behaviors, possibly old relationships.
I believe the saying 'Iron sharpens Iron'. It's in the Bible and just sticks with me. Who you surround yourself with matters. If you surround yourself with people who belittle you, drink excessively, manipulate, etc., what does that say about you, your boundaries, your own self worth? It says you need to re-evaluate your standards, create new boundaries and let some of these people out of your life. No, it's not easy but yes, it is necessary. If YOU are the one exhibiting these behaviors, than you need to change. Seek therapy, a counselor, a pastor or deacon at your church. Forgive yourself & learn to be a healthier you.
I also put entirely too much emphasis on what people thought of me. Come on, we have all done this to some extent. What a complete waste of time. I realized that 'YOU' get to decide whose observations of you get to matter & whose do not. This was a gigantic wake-up call to me. I decide. I ultimately learned that it only matters what God thinks of me & those who I hold dear in my life. The others? It truly doesn't matter...at all. You decide whether to attach meaning to what others think. Letting go of what others think of me was a critical step to me moving forward to focus on my own wellness.
You know, for those of you that do have chronic illnesses, please do not doubt that God is using this time of suffering, to teach you so much about yourself and others. You are learning who you are, who you want to be, how to treat your body with kindness, who to surround yourself and finally, how to look to God for the answers - not others. This is what I have learned. All of these lessons did not come until January 2010, when I was diagnosed with a rare health condition. I am grateful for the lessons. I am grateful for forgiveness. I am grateful for those that I have chosen to be in my life. For those that I am choosing not to have in my life? I am grateful to them as well b/c I have learned so much from them about who I do not want to be. The irony in all of this? I am more healthy now than I have ever been in my entire life. The irony of what I just wrote is not lost on me.
Iron sharpens Iron.....God Bless!
Girl Gone Vegan,
Kelly Lynn

|I have been making these Santas for about 10 years or so. My sister decided she needed a new one so I thought I would share it with yall. The fur is real mink (I collect old mink coats for my Santas) the beard is mohair from a ranch in California, the fabric is a red and gold brocade and his belt is one of my old ones cut down to fit. I paint his face and use a wood button for his nose. He sits in a chair and his feet hang over. I don't use a pattern because I have made him so many times I know how to cut the fabric. The Snowman is made from felt and is for my grandaughter's 2nd grade teacher. Today was a good day for making things since the weather turned cold and won't warm back up for a few days - today only 56 degrees but by Thursday it will be back to the 70's.
Follow-Up Postings:
|That is one elegant Santa! Great job, and the teacher will be thrilled with her snowman.
|Well my dear, those are just lovely. Love that you painted the santa's face and love all the details on both of them. Great gifts! You are just Ms Talented over there. ha
Oh and I'll trade ya my 19 degrees for your 56!bbbbbbrrrrrr I'z freezin! ~Anj

|Anj, I absolutely hate cold weather, I don't mind a bit of a chill but I can never seem to warm up when it's cold and I would never leave the house if we had weather like that. It got really cold - 33 degrees when we were in Pennyslvania in October and I had to wear blue jeans, a sweatshirt and a jacket plus gloves and a scarf - I could hardly move with all those clothes on!! Here in Florida I have a light weight jacket and will have to use if for a few days but it is suppose to be back to the 70's Thursday.
I am glad you liked the Santa, he is a favorite of mine, I hope to have the one I am keeping done by Christmas - LOL. I think I will hide him after Christmas so I won't be tempted to give him away when someone asks.
Heard Luvs is having computer problems, sure miss her posts
|Just beautiful, love the snowman but gosh your santa is so elegant! better hide him, sure you will have lots of offers to take him home!

|PF, It has been killing me to not be able to tell you how cute your Santa and Snowman are! DH and DS worked on my computer today and got it working again! Thank goodness.
The eyes on your Santa look so dimensional. And I love the fabric you used for his suit.
And you know how much I always love snowmen. ;o) Great job. Thanks for sharing.

|Welcome back, Luvs. We have missed you - what a time for the computer to go out, just when everyone is posting their Christmas pics. The eyes on the Santa are painted with a blue comma stroke and then I came back with side load of thin white at the bottom of the eye. I loved the fabric which I found at Walmart earlier this year. The gold threads make it so pretty and it is actually a bit darker than it appears. My sister got it yesterday and is thrilled. Thanks for the nice comments. Look forward to seeing your Christmas pics.

I am very fair (nc15) with light blonde hair and green eyes, and I bought this on a whim for $3.99 at target because I thought the light bright pink was perfect. When applied however...it's ALOT lighter than it appears in the tube. And it is very pigmented but shows every dry spot and imperfection on your lips. It is really really creamy though and I love the way it goes on. It looks decent on my skin because I am so pale but I feel like a pornstar if I don't blot and blend it out or tone it down with a gloss. The color is really beautiful for fair skin though.

Like others have said, this is definitely made for a very light skin tone. I am a nw20 (cool-fair) and I am even borderline for this shade. It is very pale pink, so pale it hard to pull off straight out of the tube. What i have found works best is to use a brush or my fingers and put it on for more subdued look. If I use a natural liner it looks very nude.
I wont be purchasing this again simply because it takes too much effort to use it. The packaging is flimsy, as with all of these lippies from this line, and the formula is drying. I would go with something else similar from Revlon's lustrous line or L'Oreal in their pale pinks.

Oh boy, when I was buying this lipstick I was looking at the color in the tube and thought it looked pretty but its actually a very pale pink color and it looks awful on my skin tone. This is also way to pigmented that it looks cakey on the lips and makes wrinkly or dry, crusty lips look awful. Don't get me wrong I love NYX lipsticks but this color looks horrible on me. On the bright side the lipstick is very creamy.
EDIT: Horrible lip color for me, but it makes a nice cream blusher! I tried it as a blush and it looks nice on me. At least I could use it in some way.

Age: 19-24 Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium Hair: Black Eyes: Brown
I am quite pale with eastern Asian skin, and most of the lipsticks I buy tend to look stronger/vibrant then I want them to look on my skin. I often have to layer a foundation lightly underneath on my lips to make them look the way I want them to. I read that lots of paler girls liked this, but this color was not flattering on me. The lightness of the lipstick was all right, and in yellow/artificial lighting it looked nice. However, as soon as I stepped outside or in better lighting I realized the lipstick looked quite garish on me. The color simply had too much blue that in white light it looked very purple on my skin.In the tube, the lipstick is a beautiful pink that does remind me of strawberry milk, but if you have yellow undertones I would stay clear.
Consistency wise, I was also disappointed. Although the lipstick is pigmented, it has an odd finish that is creamy and manages to emphasize dry spots-very strange. I thought this lipstick would have a thinner balm like consistency, but it instead felt more like a heavy cream with too much pigment mixed in. Even when you do apply it perfectly, if you're the type to smack your lips (which I am), the color moves and slips on your lips. I had such high hopes, but I can't imagine who this lipstick would flatter. Perhaps if you are extremely pale with very cool undertones or if you were going for the bold nicki-minaj look it would work. After some deliberation, I returned the lipstick. I am still on the hunt for the perfect pale pink.

Comments: I don't find this shade overly creamy like most others from this line. It's a pale pink that I find easy to wear so long as I have enough color on my cheeks.
Will repurchase.

I like this color - it's just fun. No, it's not natural at all. But I love that. When I have boring eye makeup, I go for a fun bright lip. If you've purchased and don't like the "fake" look, you could always apply this first with a finger lightly, then apply a more natural shade on top to brighten the color.

this is one of my favorite lipsticks! I was sad to see that it has so many bad reviews. this color only works on a handful of skin tones & colors. I have cool, fair skin which looks great with this lip color. as far as its opaqueness, I use a lip brush with almost all of my lipsticks that helps evenly apply and makes it way more smoothe than cakey.

I love NYX becaus it's affordable and you get a lot of value for your money. I have quite a few of the Round Lipsticks and I purchased most for around $2.00. I'm very impressed by the array of colors that are available and these lipsticks are often "go tos" for me.
Most of the NYX lipsticks are fairly pigmented.
The lids can come off of these lipsticks rather easily and I've had several to easily crack. Additionally, I've had several lipsticks to break. They're still useable, but, they've broken.
As far as quality is concerned, I do think that you get a very pigmented color for your money and and the formula is quite moisturizing.
Strawberry Milk is a nice color. It's a very nude, pink. Looks great with a smokey eye. Rather stark on my lips without a lipgloss, so I usually use a pink or nude gloss.

I fell in love with the color, just by looking at the lipstick.
However, as I applied to my lips, I was horrified. It was opaque, cakey, and looks fake on my lips. Worst of all, my friends commented that I look pale and sick when I had the lipstick on.
I supposed this color is only suitable for those with fairer skin tones.

In contrast to most other reviews, I absolutely love this lipstick, but this is only for a certain group of people.. And I will tell you exactly who this would look best on.
This strawberry milk (literally) color will only work on a select few, you must be fair and cool toned... So that limits this to NW20s and below. if you're any darker or warm/yellow toned, you will look like a stripper. It reminds me of that colored sunblock from the 90s that used to come in a Chapstick tube. I love this lipstick, if you're a fair, cool toned lady who likes pink lips, id definitely suggest this. If you're dark or warmer toned, stay away unless you work at the hustler club.
The consistency is good, the coloring is opaque, and it fades perfectly, no ring around the lips. This is one of 5 lipsticks I've ever used up and repurchased within 6 months, and I own about 60-70 lipsticks and lipglosses. the only other lip product I've ever gone through so quickly is Macs cremesheen fashion scoop... Yeah I love cool toned milky pinks!

he effectiveness of drug education is something that has caused many heated debates and controversy over the years. Lots of people believe that it is a waste of time as the number of recorded drug users has shown little change over the past 30 years. However drug education's lack of impact is often put down to the approach, but will an overhaul of the methods used to teach, actually produce a different outcome? With cuts being forced upon the education system, is drug education a viable way to spend taxpayers money, does it really work?"
The Problems
For many, drug education is essentially being told to be abstinent. Lot's of schools employ teachers from other departments to give students a lecture on drugs. Frequently, these teachers have a limited understanding and education on drugs themselves. A lecture instructing students to avoid drugs and to resist peer pressure, has repeatedly proved to be ineffective and occasionally dangerous. Drug education is internally regulated in schools, meaning there is no specific nationwide curriculum teachers follow, resulting in mixed messages and understandings of drugs.
One problem that has been repeated over and over again is the generalization of drugs. For those people who have been deterred from any drug using scare tactics and generalizations, it could be argued that drug education has been successful. However studies show that misinformation has serious consequences and that people are rarely deterred by the information they received in school. Repeatedly, the information relates directly to the prison sentences you will receive for possession and the debilitating effects of drugs. Schools often class cannabis as a dangerous substance making it sound just as damaging as amphetamines. However, it has been confirmed that cannabis is a non-lethal drug, and it is near impossible to overdose on. On the other hand cocaine is potentially a lethal drug, taking slightly too much can cause heart attacks and strokes. A young person who finds out their school exaggerated and lied about the damaging effects of cannabis is much more likely to go on to try other drugs believing that their effects have also been exaggerated.
Government and parental paranoia has restricted the information we allow to young people and as a result drug education is nowhere near as effective as it could be, at the moment it doesn't seem like drug education is working that well.
Honesty Is The Best Policy
However, just because the current system has issues it is certainly better than no system at all. Educating young people about the dangers and effects of drugs is important and can prevent people from becoming addicted to drugs. Instead of solely informing young people about the dangers and potential jail time they will serve, schools need to offer frank and accurate advice and information. No matter what programs and lessons the schools provide, there will always be certain people who recreationally use drugs. Instead of trying to deter people from trying drugs, the education system needs to provide students with an up-to-date information on the effects and side effects of various drugs as well as the potential dangers. Young people being informed about drugs need to be treated as adults and provided with the facts. Ironically it is often the parents fear and unwillingness to discuss this subject which leads to young people trying damaging substances.

London, 14 March 2011
CityJet, the regional airline of choice in Europe, is pleased to announce the opening of their latest gateway in France, Pau Pyrenees Airport, starting 2 April, 2011. Pau is a gateway to the spectacular scenery of the Pyrenees, with a short drive to popular ski resorts, Biarritz and the Atlantic coast as well as Lourdes.
CityJet in cooperation with parent company Air France will begin operating direct flights to their newest destination in France from their hub London City Airport, as well as from Dublin International Airport and Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.
The flights will be operated by the Avro RJ85 jet, with a capacity of 95 seats in comfortable leather with a pitch of 32 inches and a 3-3 configuration and will offer CityJet's award winning service, including free check-in, seat choice, complimentary food and beverage service as well as baggage. Including golf bags, so passengers can take full advantage when visiting Europe's first golf course in Pau.
The initial schedule will offer three return flights a week between London City Airport and Pau, three return flights from Dublin (one direct and two via London City), and two return flights a week via Amsterdam.
"I am thrilled about opening this newest gateway in France, both because it is a beautiful region that we thus far have not had direct service to, but that we are also introducing direct flights to Pau from Dublin and Amsterdam with the participation of our parent company Air France. Meaning that together we are making it even easier for many of our passengers to discover not only Pau, but Dublin and Amsterdam Schiphol where passengers will be able to directly connect to the worldwide Air France KLM network," said the CEO of CityJet, Christine Ourmières.
"I am delighted that CityJet, together with Air France, have launched these new routes to meet the growing demands of city to city travel in the business, as well as leisure communities of London and the South East. Our Group is strengthening its presence at London City Airport and its commitment to its passengers," added Henri Hourcade, General Manager of Air France KLM, UK and Ireland.
In addition to launching the new service to Pau, CityJet will also be adding the popular French destinations Avignon and Toulon to their network this May. These newest destinations in France are in addition to the already established CityJet network including, Brive, Deauville, Paris-Orly and Nantes.
All flight times are in local time, new schedules start on 2nd April 2011.

As a parent, your child's safety is undoubtedly your top priority, and when you choose to use a stroller, there are many more safety aspects to consider. Before using your stroller, you should familiarize yourself with and follow the manufacturer's instructions and weight restrictions.
The first and most important stroller safety guideline is to never leave a child unattended in a stroller even if he or she is asleep.
To ensure that your child remains safe at all times while in his stroller, you should always adhere to the following safety precautions.
Stroller Safety Precautions
- You should always use the stroller seat belt or safety harness. When choosing a stroller, a 5-point safety harness is a better choice than a 3-point harness. A 5-point harness consists of two straps at the shoulders, two straps at the hips and one at the crotch.
- Be sure to lock the stroller wheels when you are parked to prevent it from moving unintentionally. A single one-foot-one-time braking system is the easiest to use type of brake to use. Also, keep in mind that your child should not be left unattended in a stroller even if the brakes are engaged.
- Since most strollers provide storage space, it is easy to safely store your bags and belongings in the stroller's provided storage basket or compartment. Hanging bags and purses off the strollers handles can cause the stroller to tip and endanger your child.
- When buying a stroller, choose a model with a wider base because it will be less likely to tip when your child leans forward while seated.
- While folding and unfolding your stroller keep small fingers away to ensure that your child is not pinched by the stroller. You should also be sure to always use your stroller's locking device to prevent any accidental folding while in use.
- When using a jogging stroller, you should be sure to use the included safety strap to ensure that the stroller does not get away from you while jogging or running. Although many manufacturers state that they are safe to use with younger infants, jogging strollers are safest when used with babies who are one year of age or older.
- If you notice that your stroller has a safety defect of any kind, you should immediately discontinue use of the stroller and call the manufacturer. You can also file a product complaint with the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
- Sending in the product registration card that comes with your stroller ensures that your warranty is in effect and that you will be informed in the event of a product recall. When you shop at Strollers Direct, you'll receive the security of knowing that our Automatic Recall Alert System will notify you if a recall is issued for your stroller.
- One of the best ways to ensure your child's safety when riding in his stroller is to purchase a model that meets or exceeds the basic safety standards for strollers. By choosing a stroller that is safety certified, you will guarantee that certain safety precautions are taken before you even begin to use your stroller.
- If you decide to purchase or borrow a secondhand stroller, you should still be sure to research the safety of the stroller. Prior to using a hand-me-down stroller or purchasing a used stroller, take the time to research the specific model for recalls and manufacturing defects.
To learn more about the current safety standards for baby strollers, be sure to check out our Stroller Safety Guidelines. If you need help choosing a stroller, take a look at our articles Dad Friendly Stroller Features and Which Stroller is Best for Your Lifestyle to help narrow your search.
