PTC to lower tax rate 1.25%
With no property tax increase in the works, a public hearing on Peachtree City's $29.58 million budget passed without comment from the four residents who attended the July 18 City Council meeting.
The budget proposed by city staff, which includes a 1.25 percent dip in the millage rate, is also notable because a typically fractious council hasn't been able to haggle over one bit of it so far.
In the background, but looming for the members are the November elections in which three posts, including mayor, are up for grabs, and politicking has already begun.
Council is expected to adopt the budget and millage rate at one of the August council meetings.
While the budget uses $794,000 from the city's unrestricted cash reserves, this is the last year the city plans to do so under its five-year budget outlook, said city Finance Director Paul Salvatore.
The reserves are needed this year for street and cart path resurfacing as the $2 million a year the city had been getting from the 2004 countywide transportation sales tax has been completely exhausted, Salvatore noted.
The slight decrease in the millage rate is due to the city paying off the airport authority bonds, Salvatore said.
If a sales tax proposed by the county fails this November, the city might have to ask its residents to authorize a general obligation bond to pay for several years of street and path repaving, Salvatore noted. If both those plans fail, the city may have to simply add the cost to its general fund, which would necessitate a millage rate increase and/or budget cuts in other areas.
The budget also includes a second proposed facilities bond to be used to upgrade deteriorating infrastructure in the city. That bond, which staff has suggested should be for $2.5 million, would not require a tax increase because the city can use debt service capacity freed up by the recent paying off of the airport authority bonds, officials have said.
The debt service on such a bond would be about $298,000 a year over 10 years, according to Salvatore, who has projected it would go to market early next year presuming it is approved by council.
The 2013-2014 budget includes a proposed 2 percent cost of living salary increase for city employees, who haven't received such since the 2008-2009 fiscal year. Last year council granted a 2 percent increase as a one-time payment to prevent salary hikes from affecting the budget.
Funding is also included for a comprehensive pay/classification study that has not been undertaken since 2001. No implementation funds, however, were added to the budget, Salvatore cautioned Thursday.
The staff-proposed budget includes one new civilian position for the fire department: a logistics specialist to keep track of and place orders for needed tools, supplies and equipment, pending a review of fire department staff by a contractor who is also reviewing the police department, Salvatore said. No other recommended staff reductions and/or departmental reorganizations are planned, Salvatore said.
They are not the same.
PTC's looming fiscal problem was 4 years ago and the actions taken clearly helped PTC maintain it's Triple A rating. The Needs Assessment Committee was NOT formed 4 years ago, only recently and it has outlined a solid road map that the next elected council and mayor can act on assuming we have the leadership and teamwork.
The November election is all about electing the right individual candidates AND whether or not the citizens want to elect a team that will work together to accomplish more or if they want to elect people they know can't work together continuing the dysfunction.
For the incumbents running for re-election, it will also be about past performance in actions, leadership and integrity.
In the mayoral race past leadership and integrity must clearly be at the top of list.
Finally, if the mayor is the only person who can call for a special committee and The Needs Assessment Committee was called for by the mayor, why don't we have this comprehensive plan proposal from the mayor's office?
Because Council has to authorize Staff research, contacts with potential private partners, etc to develop the Plan.
You seem to think this is some simple document. It isn't.
I have been calling for a Comprehensive Plan since 2008. As a Councilman I had no power to proceed even with a Committee. I tried working with the Council for two years, as Mayor, only to be told they would make all the decisions based on their thinking.
So, last year, I formed the Committee. As Imker stated, on the Dais, they didn't want it and were not going to pay any attention to its findings. Just like they ignored One PTC.
So, yes, the next Mayor and Council can act on it. Who better than the person who is responsible for its creation, me, to be Mayor?
Say what you want, but the fact we achieved the AAA in 2008 says, contrary to your statements, it didn't take these 3 Councilmembers to achieve or preserve it. That is simply a false claim.
Indeed, we all have records. I stand behind my record with accomplishments in hand. The others have nothing but tax, debt and spending increases along with failed legal attacks.
Getting things done tops the list. Going along to get along is PC, but it is not productive.
I hope, next Council, to have Councilmembers that actually know the duties of their office, respect the Mayor's office and do not spend four years running for Mayor.
Then, even when we disagree, it does not have to turn into name calling at meetings, hanging budget books over heads etc. None of which I ever did.
You have made it very clear you supported the tax, etc increases. I truly think you would be singing a different tune about the Councilmembers if you had not supported them.
Specifically, as you said --- "I hope, next Council, to have Councilmembers that actually know the duties of their office, respect the Mayor's office and do not spend four years running for Mayor."
In addition, I want a Mayor who actually knows the duties of his office, respect the Mayor's office (and the city and the members of council) and does not spend four years running for reelection.
I could get genuinely excited about someone running for mayor that stated they would only serve one term in office and not seek reelection.
You need to attend some of our action packed GOP breakfasts. I've been saying that my intention is to be a One and Done mayor. Now that its here, you can hold me to it in four years.
I realize you might be reluctant to answer these questions...for fear of Haddix attacking you with partial truths and distortions but
What is your viewpoint on the orginal tax increases done 4 and 3 years ago to balance the city budget? Was there another way? How large was the deficits and would cost cutting only have solved the problem?
What are your thoughts on the new bonds and interest costs?
Do we need this "comprehensive plan" or does the Needs Assessment Committee report provide that information to have staff begin proposals to cut costs and lower taxes as outlined in the study?
I hope to ask the same 3 questions to other candidates and I am hoping an organization - TEA, Republican and Democratic Parties organize city wide debates to be held in large public places for people to attend.
Any thoughts to help push for that?
Thanks as always
That's what I like to hear. Good luck.
Well, Morgan, with term limits there is no running for re-election for me if I get re-elected. It is pure 'do the job,' meaning I will continue as I have been doing.
Imker vowed to run for one term only. How did that work out?
Just saying a promise like that does not mean much.
As for the implication I don't know my duties, please state one that I do not know.
Whether you like it or not, part of the job of Mayor is not letting others exceed their office limits.
On my website read the material and links posted in the "PTC Form of Government" forum. Way to much material to post here.
Peachtree City Mayor
You bloggers all up to answering this?
Here it is - in his own words.
"As for the implication I don't know my duties, please state one that I do not know.""
I am just guessing here, but let's say there are 12 or so. things he does not know. Forget the fact he doesn't know he's coming in last in the Nov election with 2 votes - 3 if pumpkin is someone other than his wife.
"As for the implication I don't know my duties, please state one that I do not know."
I'll start with #1, you bloggers fill in the rest.
1. Stealing money from the city to pay your lawyer.
2. Attacking city council members on these blogs. Bad. Makes you look like an idiot.
3. Providing leadership to the city and the council as Harold Logsdon and all his predecessors have done.
4. Being a decent person instead of a raging idiot who thinks everything is about you.
So, is 12 enough? Or should we go on.
Continue as you've been doing? Having the citizens pay for your lack of mental acuity by referring to the previous mayor as part drunk? Talk about exceeding the limits of their office. Or, could it be your lapse of cogent thinking that resulted in the city forced into undesired housing?
Mayor, we both know the list can go on. Admit that you're in over your head and walk away now. Richard Nixon resigned for the best interest of the country, you can do the same for the city.
Do us all a service and simply go away.
Your response to everything is to turn it around on others! That's always at the heart of the problem.
I support the financial health and well being of this city and 4 years ago when the city was in trouble you proposed nothing. You let council solve the serious problem, offered no real alternative solutions (with serious numbers) then turned the issue around calling them "tax and spend".
In fact 4 years ago during the financial crisis, your focus was trying to push through your salary increase. This is a fact you will not deny since Ms Fleisch can confirm!
Council members are not the problem, and the prior council was not the problem either. You have burned through 2 completely different city councils always blaming and picking fights. The same behavior you exhibit with anyone that doesn't agree wth you.
As for your comment about having respect for the mayor's office, respect is usually earned, but to ask for respect after spending 4 years attacking them on the blogs and editorials instead of meeting on a individual basis to build consenus is absurd.
But, putting that all aside...
You will not win re-election because the voters know you took their money through the GIRMA settlement that was below the city's insurance deductible and for a private lawsuit,not public. GIRMA only agreed after your third submission and it was based on a technicality that your insult of someone was sent on a city email.
Many in the city want council to change the ethics rules for mayor and council that will:
1-require elected officials to be governed under the same email and Internet policies as the staff.
2-GIRMA claims requests must be approved by city council.
Enough said.
The Maintenance and Operation Millage Rate remains the same. The Bond Millage Rate decreases .064, which means the Total Millage Rate decreases .064.
But, that will not hold if what is planned for the future occurs. The Millage Rate will be going up due to more planned Infrastructure Bond debt next year.
As well, there is more taxes wanted via the SPLOST, another Stormwater Bond in 3 years and no millage roll back if home values do increase.
Also, no end in sight for using the Reserves, which will put our AAA Bond Rating at risk.
Try to claim it all as some Councilmembers and Larry Sussberg wish, we got the AAA Bond rating from our 2008 Budget, not under these Councilmembers.
We need a Comprehensive Strategic Plan for debt, spending and services. More taxes and debt and service not aligning with what the citizens have made clear they want is not a plan for the future.
Nor is returning to Harold Logsdon's band-aid approach and rezoning and annexation to build more and more retail and homes.
Peachtree City Mayor
thank you for taking the time to explain to the few who do not seem to understand. you will be re-elected, you are the best man for this job. if you ever decide not to run in future years, this town will see and understand what the alternatives were/are. keep up your good work mr. mayor we know there always those malcontents who have no idea, a couple of which continue to rant and I seriously think need help.
Sterling commentary once again. I will give you credit, pumpkin, everyone else cannot stand Haddix and can't wait until November, but you're definitely still loyal and drinking that Kool-Aid.
November is just a few more months away, thankfully. Going to be big changes on not just the Mayor's office but also on Council, both being a pretty good chance to achieve a lot better than this BS we have all had to endure.
Another key for a good solution is good people running for Councilmember Posts. It does take a 3 vote for most, but not all, things to happen.
As Imker said, and I agreed, when he ran in 2009, any idiot can balance a budget by increasing taxes and spending the Reserve.
Time is getting short, so we will know all who choose to run in five weeks.
The only thing I can say, for sure, at this point in time, is I know that Learnard, if she runs, will not go unopposed.
She seems mostly dedicated to the school creation work. That is not a PTC effort, so she can not run and go full time in that effort.
With the colleges in the mix at the Studio site, her proposal and the BOE, this has become a mix that will take some serious time, money and effort to organize and consolidate.
Peachtree City Mayor
What is troubling to PTC residents is that you folks simply can not or will not address a growing debt issue. Council members lauded this budget because it did not increase property taxes, but tried to skip the fact that should a local option sales tax fail(I believe it will fail miserably) the city will be forced to borrow as much as $2.5M for maintenance expenses that any competent manager would have addressed.
Our mayor perhaps realizes the dilemma, but prefers to politicize the problem by blaming the gang of three for obstructionism while never offering anything resembling a workable solution.
Without significant cuts to the city's bottom line and an equal increase in tax revenues specifically designated for storm water and certain infrastructure (street and path maintenance), we will continue to play a smoke and mirrors game designed to deceive rather than cure.
We don't need a comprehensive plan for debt, we simply need to slow spending.
Assuming the Splost fails, then go to your plan B or a combination of ideas to lower expenses
Lets hope you are elected on council, we elect a new mayor who will act as an adult and lead.....and you and the others are able to "rationally" discuss your Plan B or a combination of actions.
It all starts with respect for those elected and the citizens which this mayor has shown that he has 0 concept of.
I know you will bring dignity and professionalism into the job.
Most assuredly service can be realigned to what the citizens want and also bring down spending. The Councilmembers do not want to do so.
We already have a Local Option Sales Tax (LOST). What is under consideration is the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST).
Nor do you have the correct number for what is being looked at. For plus or minus five years the list covers over $14 million just for roads and paths.
But I do agree it will fail and I oppose it.
I have offered a workable solution, the Plan. But the Councilmembers do not support it. Because you do not like it does not make it unworkable.
Yes, we need a plan. Every business has one and so do cities who are the most successful in money management.
It isn't a Comprehensive Strategic Plan for debt. It is a Plan for revenue, spending, debt and service levels.
There was no smoke and mirrors in what I posted above. It shows clearly we are not on a path to success.
As for the City Manager, he has to abide by the guidance of the majority on Council. He most assuredly agrees with and supports the need for a Plan and has had one in every other city he has worked for.
Your idea of a Plan is to cut Safety and personnel in general without cutting services. You also want to cut salaries. It won't work.
The One PTC and Survey both agreed on areas where cuts could occur. But it has to be done within a Plan. The citizens spoke loud and clear in the One PTC and Survey. It is past time to start listening.
As I proved with the changes at the Fred and Tennis Center, costs can be reduced and services increased. Also proven is public/private is a viable way to improve services and reduce costs. There are a lot of potential areas still remaining to accomplish even more.
Again, this shows you are wrong in saying I have not put any viable solutions on the table. My record proves my ideas work when used.
Who has said no to these ideas? The Councilmembers. Credit where credit is due.
It is obvious from what you said you do not have a clear understanding of what is really going on.
Peachtree City Mayor
You do not have a clear understanding of what is really going on."
Stay classy.
Thank you Eric, Kim, Vanessa for seeing and acting quickly on the looming financial crisis Peachtree City faced 4 years ago.
Carefully raising the millage rate against falling property values so people did not pay more in taxes, but enough to balance the budget while at the same time squeezing expenses within the city budget was the right move.
Then, with George coming on to council, re-financing the bonds allowing room for additional (Triple A rated) bonds targeted for investment in the city's aging infrastructure helps this city move forward with a bright future.
In tough times, some talk and attack, but others (the 3 of you) took the necessary steps showing real leadership!
Thank you again and job well done!

Hi All,
I bought a new thermostat that has a separate controller that's mounted near the HVAC equipment. Its not a complex system just a forced air gas furnace and A/C. There are 3 wires between the thermostat and the controller which is self explanatory. The other issue I have is the hookup from the controller to the furnace. I think I have it right but don't want to guess since I can't afford a new furnace:) Anyway the markings on the furnace are as follows,
The wires on the old thermostat are as follows,
I attached a schematic of the new controller. My plan was to disconnect the wires from the furnace, put the controller inline and distribute to the correct terminals. So,
Y-White wire
If I had two dimes to rub together I'd hire someone but unfortunately for me I can't. Thanks for all the help. J |

Sounds as if you have a single stage cooling and heating. Y is connected to Y. According to your colors, this is blue. |
Thanks for the reply. I do have single stage heat and cool. I hooked it all up but it doesn;t work. Its like it has no power so after reviewing the instructions again I cam along another variant of the original schematic. It shows 24V between C and R. Is there an external transformer like a wall wart or is it obtained in the furnace? Any ideas? |
It looks like you have no ground connection going to the controller. I have never done this, but I think you will need to connect a ground from the furnace control board to the thermostat controller. You need to be careful. You are risking both controllers if you make a wrong connection. I am curious as to why you bought a Visionpro IAQ thermostat. These thermostats are not intended for the do-it-yourselfer. |
It came with the whole house dehumidifier. |
- Posted by weedmeister (My Page) on Thu, Nov 3, 11 at 16:27
The 24v comes from the furnace. On the furnace, this is R and C. Was there nothing connected to 'C' on the furnace? |
There was another white wire that was connected to C and R was connected to the thermostat. Here's a pic A separate wire (from the thermostat wire) is the white connected to "C" and the Black connected to "Y". I never touched those but I think they go out to the AC unit. |
- Posted by weedmeister (My Page) on Fri, Nov 4, 11 at 17:16
Look at the thermostat wire carefully and see if there is another wire available that may have been cut off. It is hard to tell from the picture since the two cables are on top of each other. |

In addition to always being the smallest player on the floor during this postseason, J.J. Barea is also the most annoying. I say this not as an insult, but with appreciation and respect. As a basketball fan, can you think of a more frustrating player to watch kill your team than Barea? He's tiny and tough, fearless and fast and can get to the hoop with such ease you find yourself uttering very bad words in a voice you usually wouldn't dare use in public.
Baskets by Barea will break your team's back and cripple their spirit. They also give his Mavs a boost that cannot always be accurately measured by personal stats, points scored or +/-. Some how, some way, Barea gets to the hoop, weaves circles around his defenders and leaves opposing coaches with hands thrown up in frustration and disgust.
It's what he does. Against the Lakers in Game 2, Barea came off of the bench to play 17 minutes where he scored 12 points on 4-for-9 shooting to go along with four assists. He also was given the postgame interview. J.J. Barea as the postgame interview in a playoff game. J.J. Barea hanging with Cheryl Miler. Yes.
And it makes me happy. I know what you're thinking — of course it makes me happy. Which player succeeding doesn't make me happy? If we're being honest, there are a few who grate on my nerves after seeing them be jerks when it was entirely unnecessary, but that's neither here nor there. About Barea, I kind of almost owe him.
In university, I worked as the manager of the basketball team. To prove I knew a little bit about basketball — and to show how eager I was to learn more — I submitted a scouting report from the under-21 Tournament of the Americas which took place in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 2004. Yes, I was such a happy girl, watching Chris Paul and Peter John Ramos — remember him? — and Charlie Villanueva. The guy who shone brighter than everyone, though, was Jose Juan Barea.
With two triple-doubles, Barea led the Puerto Rico team to a gold medal game against the United States where he finished with 27 points, six rebounds, six assists and two steals in 35 minutes. In comparison, Chris Paul finished with eight points, eight assists, three rebound and two steals in 38 minutes. Kinda fun.
It probably didn't help that after cheering my heart out for Barea as he notched his first triple-double, I discovered his family was sitting in the row behind me with their country's flags. After shared smiles and cheers, I was sold. I loved that guy. And, he was going to make it. He had to.
I wrote my scouting report on J.J. Barea's game (sadly, I can't find the report on the gaggle of flash drives I checked), and finished it by saying I thought he would indeed make it to the league. My coach was impressed with my report — at the very least he knew I loved the game enough to wash 12 other people's laundry every day for four years — and I got the gig.
Seven years since that tournament and four years since Barea cracked the Mavs roster, it still makes me happy to see him doing well. Averaging 9.5 points and 3.9 assists in 20 minutes per game, he's doing alright. Earlier this season during a morning shootaround in Toronto, I asked Barea about Halifax and we shared wistful smiles, his thinking about his 24.8 points, 7.2 assists and 6.8 rebounds per game he averaged over that tourney, me thinking about my home.
In short: Barea's been a baller — a hella wicked baller, in fact. And with every layup he makes in this postseason, I feel a little bit of pride for believing he'd make it here.
Well, it's either pride, or pleasure in being right. Regardless, it's fun.

Quote Shakespeare all you want, a name is pretty important thing, especially when it comes to creative works like novels, films, song, and video games. These are iconic indicators that stick with people to define a piece work, separating themselves from a mess of words that surround them. When I say a titles like Grapes of Wrath, Hey Jude, or The Sopranos it triggers an image. Whether it is of the physical product, a memory with the material, or an associated connection these names stand out whether you have a direct connect with the work or not.
With video games, titles have become something of a lost art. These days, people state the name of a franchise (sometimes with numbesr attached to it), slap a catchy phrase on the end of it, and sandwich a colon in between. Sequel-itis is something that games have suffered with for an entire generation, if not longer. People often cite "franchise fatigue" as a common ailment, exemplified by such series as Assassin's Creed, Guitar Hero, or Call of Duty.
On one hand, sequels exist because of the society we live in. Entertainment is expensive and people want to pick their battles carefully. Why would you pick up a title mired by uncertainty, when you can buy the next chapter in a saga you already know you enjoy? Hopefully this year you branched out and played games like Gone Home, Guacamelee, State of Decay, or Brother: A Tale of Two Sons. But more likely you were among the masses who bought Tomb Raider, BioShock Infinite, and Grand Theft Auto V. There's nothing wrong with any of the three aforementioned games, but they all were greenlit with the idea of continuing a successful franchise. While you might become weary of sequels, we consumers are often part of the problem.
So does that mean that video games suffer due to the myriad of sequels constantly being popped out to stuff another leg under a franchise tent? Not necessarily. While video games might put out more sequels, they also benefit from allowing more variance title to title. Games like Uncharted or Assassin's Creed hit their stride with a sequel, where a developer was able to use feedback and experience to perfect mechanics.
Idea of perfected sequels does not come without its contrarians, but the game Mass Effect is a perfect example of a franchise finding its stride in a sequel. While the original Mass Effect had plenty of fans, it clung a little bit too closely to BioWare's hardcore-RPG roots. The combat was clunky, the sci-fi was a little high brow, while the game has plenty of fans who will claim it is the best in the trilogy, the game found a widespread love with its sequel. Mass Effect 2 was a little grittier than it's predecessor, more edgy. Mass Effect 2 twisted Mass Effect's formula to be more of an action-RPG and BioWare has never looked back.
The Oxford Dictionary states that sequel is defined by, "A published broadcast, or recorded work that continues the story or develops the theme of an earlier one." This is where video games really get interesting. Game series like The Elder Scrolls, Far Cry, or Final Fantasy are only linked by a theme, or ongoing lore in the case of Elder Scrolls.
The oddest of these throughlines would be that of Far Cry, the first-person shooter-adventure series that started with a science fiction twist, shoveling the player through levels of baddies with a douchey hero and weak plot. In between Far Cry and Far Cry 2 the franchise was purchased by Ubisoft who gave it a realistic spin, setting the game in the heart of civil war Central Africa. No scientific formulas or super monsters appeared in the game, as malaria and malitia are the main opponents. The third entry in the series touched based with the original Far Cry, providing an island setting and some gently applied fantastical elements. There are common themes to the Far Cry series but they could be their own individual title, as the story lines barely connect.
Even games that are based on pre-existing material, like Batman or Star Wars can find a way to be drastically different from each other and their material. Rocksteady's Arkham series combined elements from Nolan's gritty films, the beloved animated series, and even Burton's iconic films. However, Rocksteady really succeeded in giving people a Batman they had never played before. Arkham Asylum was the first game to capture the nature of Batman's hand-to-hand combat, countering attacks and using the shadows to hide. Arkham City took this one step further by giving players the feeling of leaping off rooftops and flying through the night. Departing from the Arkham formula is the LEGO Batman franchise, that gave the Dark Knight a tinch of humor and different suits with which to puzzle through the game. Star Wars has an even more widely diverse catalogue, spreading from real-time strategy games, to flying games, to RPGs.
No medium treats intellectual property quite like video games, where the rights to franchises are exchanged like currency. Names like Halo, Gears of War, Uncharted, and Assassin's Creed are incredibly valuable and will live for ages. Other titles like Shadowrun or Syndicate might mean something completely different if the titles change publishing hands or are reinvented in the coming generations. Once upon a time, Grand Theft Auto was associated with a top-down driving game, hardly the third-person action games they are known as today. So what is really in a name for video games? While we might think that it means a lot, it really doesn't.

5 Rules to Follow When Working With Doctors
Kathy Quan | NursingLink
Rule #1: Keep it Short
For example, you gave the patient a prn pain medication almost an hour ago, and he is still complaining of 8/10 pain. He's insisting you call the doctor and get something else ordered right now. Don't walk out of the room, call the doctor and say, "Your patient, Mr. Smith is asking me to call you for additional pain medication orders." The doctor will be inclined to have your head first! He needs information, and if you're not prepared to provide it, look out!

ELIZABETHTOWN — Steel-toed boots and a pair of sneakers were entered as evidence in Scott E. Denno's manslaughter trial here on Monday.
Denno stands accused in the death of Robert Rennie, who died of internal bleeding and severe blunt-force trauma following a beating that the prosecution says was conducted not only by fists but shod feet.
On Aug. 26, 2012, Rennie's body was found lying near the closed iron bridge in Keeseville, on River Street, a village road that connects to Mill Hill beside the Ausable River.
Denno is charged with second-degree manslaughter, gang assault and weapon possession in connection with the death.
Sneakers owned by Michael Rivers and Chippewa boots owned by Paul J. Taylor were added to the evidence list during testimony on Monday. Those two men are also accused in the death of Rennie.
Denno's boots had already been placed in evidence during the trial last week.
Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague called several forensic investigators to the stand in County Court on Monday.
The collection of blood samples, the footwear and clothing spanned several scenes connected to the Aug. 26 discovery of Rennie's body.
Swabs of what forensic investigators believed was blood were taken from the boots, from several points on Mill Hill Road, from a parking lot nearby and from clothing worn by Rivers and Taylor.
A pair of Calvin Klein jeans taken from the master bedroom at Rivers's mobile home was presented in court, along with a white, polo-type shirt that the prosecution says, via witness testimony, belonged to Taylor.
It was the shirt that Taylor's former girlfriend, Samantha LaCroix, said he was wearing the night he was at her apartment drinking with Rennie. It was that night, prosecutors say, that the gang assault took place that resulted in Rennie's death.
Both clothing items had holes where forensic scientists had cut out some of the fabric in order to test swatches for DNA.
State Police Senior Investigator Allan Wright described how evidence was collected by his team over several days and at different locations.
The crime scene allegedly stretched from the Front Street apartment rented by LaCroix, who was also Rennie's former girlfriend; along Front Street, where testimony places Rivers and Denno at a first confrontation with Rennie, where they engaged in a fistfight; and then down Mill Hill Road, where, a witness said, the two men dragged Rennie to an area near a parking lot close to the bottom of the hill and where Taylor joined them in beating Rennie.
His body was found not far from that location near the barricade on the iron bridge.
Wright said the investigators first searched the area around where Rennie was found.
"Anything we found that was out of place, we secured," he told Sprague.
Wright said they did not find a beer bottle or any broken bottle along Front Street, which is where Denno had told police Rennie had dropped one.
They did find an empty plastic Canadian Ltd. whiskey bottle and secured that item, Wright said.
Sprague and Assistant District Attorney Michael Langey called New York State Police forensic scientist Brian Murphy to the stand on Monday afternoon.
Murphy said he was able to establish genetic profiles for Denno, Rivers and Taylor taken from cans of Mountain Dew and a water bottle the men drank from during the police questioning session at State Police barracks in Plattsburgh.
Murphy said that swabs from the Michelin boots owned by Denno, from Rivers's sneakers and from the Chippewa boots owned by Taylor were all positive for Rennie's DNA, with a statistical match close to 1 in 250 billion.
The prosecution presented a series of about six over-sized charts showing how items tested were linked to Rennie's blood.
On two locations of Denno's boots, Murphy said, the swabs were a direct match from Rennie's DNA profile.
But Denno's defense attorney, Joe Brennan, challenged Murphy, suggesting the scientist had not swabbed the samples himself.
Murphy had written a 21-page report on his genetic findings, but the actual blood residue was swabbed from the items by a serologist in the lab.
"There isn't anything in the report," Brennan said, "to show where precisely these samples were taken from."
The defense took particular issue with the description of the location "inside," which could mean the interior of the boot and or the arch instep "inside" the foot.
"It doesn't mean inside the boot," Langey clarified with Murphy in a followup question.
Taking Denno's left Michelin boot, Murphy pointed to areas circled near the heel and the instep, explaining that those marks indicate where the lab found and swabbed for blood evidence.
Before testimony closed on Monday, Sprague called Paige Baker to testify about hearing fighting that night last August.
The young mother of three has a second-floor apartment across the Ausable River, with a balcony that overlooks the iron bridge crossing.
Baker said she was outside on the balcony smoking a cigarette in the early morning on Aug. 26 when she overheard men's voices yelling and swearing loudly.
"One of them said, 'I'm going to f'ing get you," she told the court and then described how the voices got louder and seemed to come closer to the river.
"Then I heard someone say: 'Help me, someone, please help me, anyone,'" Baker said.
She said the yelling had continued for 15 or 20 minutes.
"Did you call police?" Sprague asked.
"No," Baker answered.
She said she had watched to see if anyone had come across the bridge into view below her apartment but no one did.
And she said she heard two loud bangs, as if something had hit off the metal bridge.
Testimony resumes Tuesday morning, when prosecution plans to bring in the forensic serologist to describe areas where blood samples were swabbed from articles of clothing and boots in evidence.

Noble Hospital making preparations for 49th annual ballOct. 10, 2013 |
WESTFIELD – Noble Hospital is preparing for the 49th Noble Ball co-chaired by the Sarat Family: Jack, Jeff, Kim, Chris, Salina, Scott, Hannah, and Nancy Neilson. Join them for Mardi Gras on Nov. 9 at the MassMutual Center in Springfield. Proceeds from this year's Ball will benefit the Oncology Unit. Last year, this signature event raised $200,000 to update patient rooms, the nurses' station, and waiting areas on the second floor of the Hospital. Six hundred attendees had a wonderful evening at the 2012 Ball, and this year more than 700 are expected to attend. The Ball offers live entertainment from the band Beantown, fine dining, and silent and live auctions. Noble Hospital and the Sarats are excited to welcome special guest Joe Andruzzi from the Joe Andruzzi Foundation. Joe Andruzzi, three-time World Champion New England Patriots player, will join us in the fight against cancer. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet Joe and have a photo taken with his Super Bowl championship rings. To learn more about the Foundation, visit www.joeandruzzifoundation.org. "This is our major fundraiser, and participation – whether as a volunteer, financial supporter, or attendee – is greatly appreciated by all of us at Noble Hospital," Allison Gearing-Kalill, vice president of Community Development, said. "We are very excited to work with the Sarat family and welcome special guest Joe Andruzzi." The Noble Ball proceeds will support Noble Hospital's Oncology Unit, so it's fitting that the co-chairs are no strangers to fighting cancer. The Sarat family lost their mother, Karen, to cancer in 2003. Jack Sarat of Sarat Ford Lincoln in Agawam joins friend Nancy Neilson and sons and daughters-in-law Jeff and Kim Sarat, Chris and Salina Sarat, and Scott and Hannah Sarat, in chairing the Ball. "I've lived here for 35 years," Jack said. "For all that time, my family and I have relied on Noble Hospital for our medical needs. Chairing the Ball is an honor and a good way to give back to the community." Those who would like to support the Noble Ball may purchase tickets to attend, donate as an advertiser or sponsor, donate an auction item, or bid on silent and live auction items. For more information on the Noble Ball, visit www.noblehospital.org/ball. To purchase tickets to the Ball, visit http://give.noblehospital.org/Ball2013. Auction items will be available online approximately a week before the Ball. To view and bid on items, visit www.qtego.net/auc/nhosp. |

You can at least avoid that last part with this simple, no-cooking-required recipe to help you survive this social season and slip out of these parties without shame. No matter how bearded or crotchety you are on the inside, just bring a tray of sweet, pepperminty sticks, and everyone will be glad you came.

PHOENIX -- A Phoenix man accused of videotaping himself having sex with girls and women has pleaded not guilty.
Maricopa County prosecutors said 23-year-old Donald Linville entered his plea Monday. His initial pretrial conference is scheduled for May 2.
Linville was taken into custody two weeks ago on suspicion of 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor and two counts of surreptitious recording.
Phoenix police said three of the women claimed they didn't know they were being videotaped and one of the alleged victims is a 15-year-old.
Police said numerous pornographic images also were recovered from Linville's home computer involving children under 12.
Linville originally was arrested last Oct. 31 after being linked to a hidden video camera placed on the second-floor balcony of a woman's apartment.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rosie, a Manhasset English Pointer dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a English Pointer for sale in Manhasset, or seeking a English Pointer dog from a breeder in Manhasset.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Manhasset already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Manhasset breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even English Pointer breeders who help with English Pointer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Manhasset paves the way for another one to be saved.

Indeed. We've spoken (briefly) about how we might be able to integrate some of our efforts to work toward a common goal, but (speaking for myself only now) I think we wanted to solidify a number of things before we started dragging other teams in. We just didn't want to waste anyone's time. Our current goal was to be able to produce a beta quality chunk of code that met the original design and stated goals. I think that we're coming up on the time when we'll need to coordinate with our friendly releng cohorts and work out things like, well, "release engineering." > > So, let's change that. What can releng do to help out with the installer > project? I would like to work hand-in-hand with the installer project > and work towards a Gentoo installer for mid-2005. Is this doable? I think so. I feel like the interest is picking up and more and more people are wanting to get involved. To me, this says we're doing something right. I know it's a slow "right," but it's better than a fast "wrong," in my opinion. ;) My gut tells me our main hurdle (in relation to things that we'd need to coordinate on) is going to be working out the installer / livecd integration. We've talked about this in installer channels like this list and #gentoo-installer and have some ideas how the impact could remain minimal, but I'd like to hear some ideas from releng who aren't tainted by what we've already been discussing. To be honest, our needs aren't exactly minimal - we need python, some extra C libraries and python bindings, network support, maybe even support for netbooting as we get into the automated deployment areas. The goal is to not force anyone in Gentoo land to use the installer - it should be an option only. The best we can do is keep a tight contact with each other. I'll join the releng lists, if that's acceptable to you (zhen) and lurk so I can get a better picture of what you folks are up to. Thanks again for "reaching out," John.

Al-Qaida terror threat prompts worldwide travel alert
WASHINGTON (AP/CBS) -- The State Department issued a worldwide travel alert because of an al-Qaida terror threat.
The issue was issued Friday morning, warning US citizens traveling abroad, specifically in the Middle East, North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, to be alert.
Issued just hours after some US embassies oversears were shut down, the alert will remain in effect through the month of August.
The threat is described as a "significant" al-Qaida plot but the State Department is not releasing any specifics about the threat.

Saving A Record Using Vba
Problems with saving the record - some fields don't save until another edit and save
Having some problems with a form. I have code in command buttons and code in the form to handle saving a dirty record but there are some issues:
1) saving some fields at time of record entry shows "Null" until the record is saved and another edit is done then the fields show related data.
2) Saving dialog box sometimes triggers before all fields are entered.
I am trying to get things working with some protection on data entry but it is a struggle. Keep in mind that there are a few related fields that are there for testing purposes. Those are marked "REF"
I am attaching the form and some of the necessary table info for review.
VBA Code To Global VBA
s I have a question about saving VBA As Global Module.
While working with Access and VBA There are many VBA codes which we use very frequently for example:
Private Sub close_Click()
End Sub
How to save this as Module and then call to a button
Cancel saving a record
Just a quick one today. wondered if anyone has any (nice, easy to understand) ways of stopping a record saving to a table.
I have a 'cancel' command button on my form but even when pressed the record still saves in the table as I have an autonumber field (so it just saves the autonumber and leaves the other fields blank)?
Any advice would be very welcome; I have had a look at other posts which describe setting a global variable and using the 'Cancel = True', with focus on the before update event - I did try this yesterday but couldn't get it to work properly; it was still saving the record in the table. I'm still in the testing phases of my database and keep ending up with hundreds of records unnecessarily
Saving a record programmatically
I have a form with a command button that runs a couple of update queries. But before these queries are run, I would like to save the current record. These queries will be using the data the current record and so it needs saving.
How do I save the record programmatically
How to: Prompt a User Before Saving a Record

Access 2007- Find a Record Command Button on Form Doesn't Work
I created an Update Record Form to update existing recordsthat are stored in a table with a find record button that no longer works.
When I first created the Find Record Command Button it worked beautifully, just as intended, I have spend HOURS researching and trial and error trying to get this button to work again by trying different VBA codes and no luck.
Twice, the find record button actually worked and when I exited the form after saving my changes, and went back in and tried it, it stopped working again. I don't understand.
I need to create a VBA code that allows me to find a record based upon any of 13 fields. For instance, I need for the button to work if someone wanted to search according to File Type, orOwner, or Document Number, and so forth.
Hide VBA code from users
If your database contains Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) (Visual Basic for Applications (VBA): A macro-language version of Microsoft Visual Basic that is used to program Windows applications and is included with several Microsoft applications.) code, you can hide that code by saving your Microsoft Office Access database (database: A collection of data related to a particular subject or purpose. Within a database, information about a particular entity, such as an employee or order, is categorized into tables, records, and fields.) in the .accde file format. Saving a database as an .accde file compiles all VBA code modules, removes all editable source code, and compacts the destination database. Your VBA code retains its functionality, but the code cannot be viewed or edited. In general, the database will continue to function as usual - you can still update data and run reports.
In this article you'll learn: Create an .accde file, Functionality that is changed in an .accde file, Issues with modifying forms, reports, or modules, Restrictions on saving a database as an .accde file, How references work with .accde files.
Importing a spaced delimited unfixed width text file via vba
I am having trouble importing a spaced delimited unfixed width text file via vba.
I have tried to use the import wizard and saving it spec then calling it using vba command however this seems to use the field width of the 1st few record/lines of the text which do notrepresent the full width of records.
Access 2010- Saving a record and closing a form
On any form I'm using that has a 'Save and Close' Command button, what is the preferred VBA code for the OnClick event?
Saving attachments to a file
Does anyone have any source code for saving attachments to a file within a specific record?
Saving record changes to table in form
I have a form [Emp_Edit] which lets you search for a record and then edit the fields it returns. I cannot get this form to save the changes. I get the error "The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship.
Change the data in the field or fields that contain duplicate data,remove the index, or redefine the index to permit duplicate entries and try again."
I have checked the underlying table and there are no conflicts. I think that the access is trying to save this as a new record instead of saving changes to the existing record. The form is based on the "Emp" table only.
VBA Crashing
This is something that is happening more and more often to me. After working on a project, specifically when VBA is involved. If I test before closing the project everything is fine. I close the project and reopen it and when opening a form or pressing a button access will crash. it has to reload and anything that has VBA coding will no longer function. I can no longer edit VBA or even delete a portion of the database that uses VBA without Access crashing.
Anyone have an idea as to why this is happening or how I can keep it from happening in the future.
In cases I've have to give up on VBA and use embedded macros instead, which I hate. Luckily I'm pretty anal about saving several copies at different points in the project, it's just annoying to have to redo an hour or so worth of work.
Saving Record in Access
Whenever I try to enter any record in the access form, it saves the record by default. how to get rid of this? I do not want records to be saved until it is asked to save.
Save/Add Record and Start New Record buttons
I created a form to enter new records into my database. I need to add two buttons at the end. One that will save the record info I just entered and start a new record. Another to save the record info I just entered and close the form.
I have been searching and searching for the correct VBA code to use for these but what I have tried isn't saving the record into the source database. It is like it disappearing into thin air.
When I created the form I used the "Add Existing Fields" feature to add the correct fields to my form. I thought that would allow them to be linked to the correct table.
form and pop form saving to different records
I have created a database which 4 forms (1 main form, and 3 pop up).
In the main form, after the CutSize field has been populated through a combo box, one of the three pop-ups pop up depending on the value of the Cutsize field. The user then enters information in the pop up, that should be saved on the same record with the information from the main form.
problem: the information is saving to consecutive records, not hte same one.
the pop up saves to one record, then the main form to the record after.
is there a way to have both forms save to the same record. perhaps my database design is faulty, but I have deadlines that I must meet coming up rather quickly

Filter Without Saving the Data Used
I have a search form that consists of text boxes and combo boxes. If I type 10001, for example, into the Document Number text box and click my search button, it searches and pulls up the records just fine; however, when I exit out of the form and check my table, 10001, has been added as a new record.
I do not want this to happen. I had written a vba code to set the form to read-only thinking that would help, but it hasn't.
Here's the code I used to make the form read-only and for it to open to a blank form:
I have a couple other forms as well, such as an add record form, an update record form, and a delete record. I made separate forms, so we could better control our documents as all are restricted with passwords, except the search record form.
Preventing Changes to your Microsoft Access VBA Code
If your database contains Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code procedures, you want to ensure that your users can't make changes unless authorised or qualified to do so. Access to the code can be prevented in a couple of different ways: Password protecting your VBA code.Saving the database as a Microsoft Database Executable (MDE) format.
query does not work after saving
I have a query which has worked in the past. and when it finally came up with results, it hung and did not display the number of records. I tried changing the query. Before saving, I ran the query and it ran quickly, giving the expected number of records (162).
After I saved the query, it hung again when I ran it. I tried re-creating the query from scratch.
Again it ran before saving but hung after saving. Compact and repair also did not help. I am running Access 2007.
Requiring Data Entry into Microsoft Access Form Fields
If you want to stop users from saving records with missing information, make the fields required in the table definition. If you don't want to do that, you need to put your edit code in the form's BeforeUpdate event. That way you can cancel the saving or adding of a record with missing info.

About a dozen demonstrators with the Aamjiwnaang First Nation in Sarnia, Ont. blocked the CN line on their reserve Friday, Dec. 21 to protest the federal government's Bill C-45.
Credits: CATHY DOBSON/THE OBSERVER/QMI AGENCY
SARNIA, ON -- A blockade of a CN rail spur line continued into Boxing Day at Aamjiwnaang First Nation in support of the national Idle No More movement.
Spokesmann Ron Plain said protesters have vowed to maintain the blockade that began Friday.
"We're getting support from way outside the community," he said. "We have non-native people that none of us know, they drove up on Christmas Day and gave us Christmas presents."
Others have been bringing food, coffee and sweets.
"I really do think people are starting to get the message that this is not an Indian issue," Plain said, adding the rights of all Canadians are impacted by the federal government's recent actions.
CN successfully applied for a court injunction to end the blockade but the order left it up to Sarnia police to decide how to enforce it.
Plain said the railway was expected to be back in court Thursday seeking another court order.
"We're trying to round up a lawyer in Toronto that will attend to it for us," he said. "We're going to ask CN to prove where they have permission of Aamjiwnaang to be on our territory."
On Christmas Eve, about 200 people attended a rally at Sarnia City Hall and marched down a short stretch of Highway 402.
"I'm very proud of every single person who showed up today," organizer Vanessa Gray said. "They're speaking very loudly just by standing here with us."
Several speakers were supporting Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence ,who began fasting Dec. 11 in a bid to get the government's attention to issues facing the First Nations.
The protests target the Harper government's Bill C-45, which they say runs roughshod over treaty rights and sovereignty, and threatens the environment.
The Assembly of First Nations has adopted an official stance opposing the legislation.
Sarnia Mayor Mike Bradley met Monday with Police Chief Phil Nelson and other city officials about the protest.
"Phil and myself were asked to visit the protest (Sunday), which we did," Bradley said. "We were there for about 45 minutes and had a good exchange, a respectful exchange of views."
Bradley said he has also been in contact with Sarnia-Lambton MP Pat Davidson and other federal officials.
"This is one of these situations where the Sarnia Police Service and the community have been put in the middle of an incident that is between the First Nations and the federal government," Bradley said.
He added city officials have been speaking with members of the First Nation council.
"We'd like to find some way to bring this to an end," he said.

Worries about data security in the cloud and the reliability of the burgeoning technology have largely prevented companies that use the cloud from getting any kind of insurance for the services. With the fears associated with the cloud being addressed and more companies turning toward the cloud's data storage capabilities, a major insurance broker is hoping to encourage more adoption, according to Insurance Journal.
No existing products
While there have been products in place to cover a company's liability to hacking and other threats, many existing insurance products don't cover cloud security, according to the Financial Times.
"I haven't seen many insurance products covering cloud-based risk," Sarah Goddard, the CEO of Dublin International Insurance, told the Times. "There are cyberliability products out there, but they are primarily concerned with hacking."
Fresh offering
With many cloud providers themselves failing to take on much responsibility for data protection, the burden fell to the companies. The new type of insurance product provides the protection for losses that result from a failure on the end of the cloud provider, according to Insurance Journal.
The potential of the cloud has opened up new plans for insurance companies to offer users, but many have relied on existing cybersecurity plans in the past, according to Business Insurance. An insurance VP told the industry publication that cloud providers provide only a "new twist on the old outsourcing," and not many companies have changed.
According to Information Journal, the new type of policy would provide coverage for lost business income relating to service loss from the provider, as well as for finding a new provider and transferring service.
Unknown risks
With the insurance industry taking a risk-oriented view when it comes to cloud computing, brokers were initially hesitant to provide cloud-specific policies, Goddard told the financial times. The belief was that insurers could not fathom the risk that accompanied the use of cloud services, and found it impossible to properly price a product.
As the security that life in the cloud offers became clearer, the overall level of risk came into focus as well. This increased trust in cloud data security allowed insurance companies to release a product with a sense of their own security in its profitability.
The long-awaited presence of insurance does not limit the need for endpoint security when it comes to cloud services. With the company using the cloud, not the service provider, often liable when things go wrong, there can be no malaise. Companies still need to deploy their own policies to protect not just their data, but their bank account.

In Response To: Black 'O" looking for breakfast ideas when I travel. (Paula Cholmondeley)
hi, Charlene O+ here:
You will probably have a better time thinking of "breakfast" as the first meal of the day instead of "breakfast". Unfortunately for us O's most traditional breakfast foods are avoids. I hope these suggestions help:
1. Order lunch for breakfast, call ahead the night before and let them know you are allergic to wheat, potatoes, eggs and corn and find out what alternatives the hotel can give you for meal choices. Try bringing your own dried rice cereals or some slices of frozen bread in a sandwich bag because the hardest things, to substitute are the breads.
2. See if there are any health food stores near the hotel so you can pick up a few fresh items while you are in town, or ask the manager of the health food store to make a delivery to the hotel or see if you can arrange for the hotel to receive a delivery from the store. You'd be surprised to see how far hotel management will go to please corporate clientele.
3. Also you can talk to the chef himself and give him your specific eating restrictions and let him come up with a menu pleasing to your taste buds. That's his job. He'll be enthusiastic about assisting you. If he needs any help, which is most likely, send him a list of HB's and Foods you can tolerate well from each list and make him earn his pay. Believe it or not, chefs do this all the time without any adjustment to your corporate rack rate bill.
Hope this helps,
Charlene O+

Album Review: Jimi Hendrix – "Valleys of Neptune"
Jimi Hendrix's career was an incandescent flash of light that was snuffed out too soon. His life as a guitar god, from the release of his first album in 1967 to his fourth in 1970, lasted a mere four years before his death at the age of 27.
And yet there have been nine studio albums of Hendrix material posthumously released. In an era where musicians can take upwards of four or five years to release a single album, Hendrix was churning out one a year, with enough unreleased material still in the vault to warrant another release in 2010 – forty years after his death. That is astounding to me, and it really highlights the intense work ethic that drove him throughout his life in music.
Valleys of Neptune is billed as a "brand-new, completely unreleased studio album," which may be technically true, but in reality, versions of many of these songs have appeared elsewhere, though usually of lesser quality and not easily accessible. To most listeners, these tracks will indeed be new. Valleys was assembled by Experience Hendrix, the estate led by Jimi's stepsister Janie, and the company deserves credit for not toying with the archived material, but rather presenting it more-or-less how it sounded when it was recorded several decades ago.
Valleys can be considered a kind of follow-up to 1968′s Electric Ladyland. Most of the songs on this album were recorded in early 1969, when Hendrix was experiencing a lot of turmoil with his bandmates. The rhythm section changes from song to song, but really, it's Jimi we're all here to see (or hear as it may be).
Unsurprisingly, it's the songs we are most familiar with that come off as the weakest of this bunch, precisely since we've already heard their superior versions. I'm talking about songs like "Stone Free" and "Fire." Perhaps most disappointing, though, is Hendrix's rendition of Cream's mega-hit "Sunshine Of Your Love." He turns it into a seven minute guitar instrumental which stalls out before it ever really gets going. "Red House" is one exception. That's a pretty well-known Hendrix song, and the version here doesn't disappoint.
Lesser known cuts like the title track and "Hear My Train A Comin'" are the true pleasures of this disc. The latter of those songs ramps up just like a distant locomotive approaching the station before busting out on arrival.
The beauty of Valleys is that it lets us hear a lot of deep cuts as they sounded at the time of their inception and in better quality than most people have heard. Would the songs have changed much if Jimi had lived to see them get a proper release? No one can know for sure. But it is an intriguing look at the direction his music may have been heading before he died.
There are no standout songs here in the vein of "Foxy Lady" or "All Along the Watchtower," but Jimi's coolly transcendent guitar playing is and that's a pleasure all its own.
Note: Target is selling an exclusive version of this album which includes two bonus tracks – "Slow Version" and "Trash Man"

In "Heeding the Call," a Tapestry of Faith program
Handout 1, Access Checklist for Meeting and Conference Planning
Participants evaluate the accessibility of the congregation's meeting space.
Ask youth, "How accessible is our congregation?" Let youth share their observations. If further prompts are needed, ask, "Can you identify modifications made in the building or in services to make it more accessible? Can you identify modifications still needed?"
If your congregation has a committee or an individual working on accessibility issues, ask them to talk about their work. If no one is available, gather additional information to share from the Unitarian Universalist Association's website or organizations that advocate for people with disabilities. Let youth use the checklist in Handout 1, Access Checklist for Meetings and Conference Planning, to evaluate the congregation's meeting space. If deficiencies are found, discuss how the group will advocate for solutions. Follow through on any plans made. When your efforts are successful, celebrate them.

More reviews by shoppinggirl101
I've been using this product for about 12 years now and it still an HG of mine. I LOVE this lip balm. The minty smell and tingle are so good and I haven't found any other lip balm like this. Very moisturizing and makes my lips soft, smooth, and supple. :)
Not good stuff Bert's Bees!!! I have really dry lips and I've tried just about everything you can imagine. This and EOS, to me, are rip offs. I think people only buy it because of the name. This stuff literally tastes NASTY and leaves my lips feeling greasy and not moisturized! I can put on coat after coat, and my lips will still chap, peel and crack. TWO THUMBS DOWN for sure!!!

I like this product, but it's not the product I rely on or would go out of my way to find. I honestly think it's hyped because it's Burt's Bees. I don't by any means intend to imply this is no good; it's just not something I'm wild for. First of all, I think it's a little pricey to be a drugstore lip product. I think $3 & some change is a little too much for an average lip balm. I love that Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm is a natural product, containing ingredients like peppermint oil, rosemary, coconut oil, etc., but because of the fact that it's (obviously) beeswax based, it's really waxy feeling on & that's a pet peeve of mine. My lips literally look waxy if I apply more than a coat or two. It's great to wear if you live someplace dry & during the winter. I personally wear it overnight to soften & moisturize my lips while I sleep. I'd buy it again, but I recommend buying the 4-pack because then you'll get 4 separate products for $10 as opposed to paying $3-4 for each.

LOVE this lip balm ! So far this is the best lip balm recently that I have ever used. Love the cooling and soothing effect of the peppermint on my lips, and it smells like mint chocolate , yummy ! :D Besides, it didn't feel overly greasy on my lips like most lip treatments do, it keeps my lips feeling moisture and soft lasting hours at the same time. Definitely will repurchase this again.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this lip balm so much! This is one of my favorites. I love the nice peppermint tingle i get on my lips and the lip balm sure does its job! I love this lip balm alot and it helps my lips survive the winter with those wintery chapped lips because in the winter... everyone gets that annoying burn on their lips 24/7 but the peppermint will KILL that burn and leave a soothing feeling. I like EOS lip balm to but this peppermint lip balm is better then the sweet mint flavored eos because the mint is stronger.
this works...it's minty and refreshing and does moisturise. buttttttt....you feel like you have to reapply all the time because it's so annoyingly dry and waxy. it's not oily enough, it's too matte to feel like you have enough on. it's a good formula if you want something non shiny, i use it under matte lipsticks (which i use most days). i find the lipbalm does work well, it's just misleadingly dry feeling on the lips.
I don't care how much rave it got, because it is definitely dry for me. I don't normally have chaped lips when I put average drugstore lip balm on,but this one really disappoints me in winter times.It provides way too thin layer in chill days no matter how eager I try to rub it onto my lips, let alone adequate moisture. It is alright in warmer days though(PROBABLY ANY LIP BALM WORKS JUST FINE IN WARMER DAYS sis). No way will I ever buy this crap again.
I really don't understand the hype this product receives. For me, it's an average lip balm that's slightly pricier than the other equally effective ones you can find right next to at a store.
somewhat hydrating but only if i keep applying throughout the day, otherwise it did not live up to the hype.

Man arrested in toilet-brush torture and murder of lesbian
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- A 22-year-old man has been arrested in Tokoza and accused in connection with the toilet-brush rape and torture of a young lesbian, who apparently was strangled to death.
Gauteng police said the unnamed man would appear Monday in the Palm Ridge Magistrate's Court, according to IOL News.
Duduzile Zozos, 26, was found dead on June 30 in one of the most hideous crimes in a string of murders of lesbians in South Africa. News of her murder provoked international outrage against the concept of "corrective rape" that plagues certain countries around the world, including South Africa.
Neighbors found the body of Zozos half-naked and with a toilet brush impailed in her vagina. Since the crime was discovered, local police interviewed several suspects but released them after questioning.
Thuziwe Zozo, the mother of the victim, says she believes that her daughter was targeted because of her sexual identity as a lesbian.
At least five lesbians have been murdered in the past two years in South Africa.

It was the night before Christmas at Slick's Gogo bar in Irvington, New Jersey when shots rang out and bullets started flying.
A man tried to enter with a gun, the bouncer observed the weapon and asked him about it. Instead of turning around and leaving the gunman started firing into the busy bar.
The shooting occurred at 12:45 early Christmas morning killing three and injuring two at the popular strip club. Pierre Clervoyent, 24, of Elizabeth, Woodley Daniel, 32, of Irvington and Mushir Cureton, 27, of Newark were killed. Clervoyent was the club owner's son. Police described Cureton as an "unintended victim." About 100 people were at the bar when the shooting occurred.
Police said that they were looking for a gray sedan that fled the scene. No arrests have been made.
