Will County union votes on strike authorization

JOLIET — Members of Will County government's largest employees union are voting this week on whether to give their bargaining committee the power to call a strike.
After 14 months of labor negotiations and no contract, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 1028 are taking a strike authorization vote over three days through Thursday in a banquet room at the Holiday Inn, 411 S. Larkin Ave.
If the bargaining committee gets the OK, as expected, the union will carry that power into another negotiation session set for Oct. 22. If talks break down, the union would have to give county officials a 10-day strike notice.
Pay raises and health insurance costs are the biggest issues preventing a settlement. Local 1028 president Dave Delrose said his 1,260 members haven't had a cost-of-living raise since 2009 and are now being asked to pay more for medical insurance.
County officials say they're willing to compromise and are offering modest raises as well as $100 monthly payments for employees who are at the top of their salary scale and do not receive annual 2.5 percent step increases for additional years of employment.
The health insurance debate is more complex. Union workers now pay 1 percent of their salaries for individual insurance coverage and 2 percent for family coverage.
The county has proposed a tiered system that would set the percentage that they pay for their premium, depending on their pay. Workers would be divided into three categories: those who earn $30,000 per year or less, those at $30,000 to $50,000 and those who make $50,000 and above. Workers earning more would pay a higher percentage of the premium.
Someone earning less than $30,000 who chooses family PPO coverage would pay $42.08 biweekly compared with $19.78 now. Someone earning $50,000 or more would pay $117.91 biweekly for such coverage compared with $55.58 now.
However, by giving employees two new coverage choices — employee plus spouse and employee and children — that will save money for many workers who now have only family coverage to pick from, according to Paul Rafac, the county's finance director.
Nick Palmer, chief of staff for Will County Executive Larry Walsh, said county employees pay less for insurance coverage than their peers in surrounding counties.
"By shifting to a percent of premium (instead of salary), we are in effect getting a higher contribution from employees that is more in line with our peer counties," Palmer said.
But Delrose countered that Will County employees on average also earn less than workers in the other counties.
Union members say it's not fair to reduce their benefits by hiking insurance costs with little or no raises.
Only about 1,000 of Local 1028 members are eligible to vote on the strike authorization, Delrose said. Correctional officers at the county jail aren't allowed to strike by law. There are strike restrictions on assistant state's attorneys.

2-inch grosgrain ribbon provides an cost effective accent for top treatments and drapery panels. Apply trim using a glue gun, fabric glue, or fusible web.
I trimmed a plain white lampshade with a thin band of polka dot ribbon trim in my daughter's room. It introduces another pattern into the scheme without making the room feel too busy.
Trim can be used no matter the decorating style. In this French Provencal bath, ribbon is used as a border at the hem, and to tie the billowy curtains to fluted rods.
Houzz reader Karen dipped trim into fabric starch and applied it to a writing desk. How whimsical! The best part is that it peels right off when she wants a new look.
A thin band of purple ribbon works design magic on a crisp white headboard. This simple trim complements the assortment of adorable toss pillows.
Create the illusion of a dainty chandelier handing from a ribbon. The fabric hides the lighting hardware and maintains the precious atmosphere in this little girl's room.
At your next party, why not dress your fence with a banner made of ribbon and fabric remnants? The infinite color choices of grosgrain ribbon allows you to coordinate with your fabric no matter the color.
Experiment with ribbon in various sizes. Try this look at home by purchasing 1.5" ribbon and 7/8" ribbon in an coordinating color and adhering it to a bolster pillow using fabric glue. Even if you prefer a custom pillow, this is a great way to try before you buy.

My wife and I are about to begin some renovations around our home, and are seeking some input.
We plan on remodeling the kitchen, which is quite small (9x9, with a walkway that makes it more like 9x6). A before picture can be seen below. We intend to cut a pass-thru opening in the wall above the stove (I think we will install a slide-in range). On the other side of this pass-thru is a sunroom addition to the house. It has two 102" windows and a nice view over our 1/2 acre lawn. We would like to convert this sunroom into a new dining room with a breakfast bar facing through the pass-thru and into the kitchen. The major reason for this is that our house is long and narrow, with two large header beams and a small wall dividing the space in two, right down the middle. Our current dining area is located immediately across from the small kitchen, which is nice, but it has one major problem... our only bathroom is only a few feet away, with a door that opens into the dining space. I find it very unappealing to eat or host dinner with the dining table located so close to the bathroom. Also, the stairwell to the second story is located in this room. So here comes the major question... what should we do with this space after we convert the sunroom into the dining area? I'm thinking of putting a kitchen island in that space, but I think it would look weird because the space is visually separated from the kitchen by the header beam. We may also be interested in moving our computer desk into that area, or maybe just making it a sitting room. Regardless, everything sounds less appealing when I think about the proximity of the bathroom. My wife and I would appreciate any suggestions concerning this problem. This is a picture of the current dining area. You can see the bathroom door and two header beams. The door to the stairwell is unseen on the left side.
This is a picture of the small kitchen space. We don't even really have enough space to install a dishwasher. :(
Here is a photo of the sunroom/proposed dining room.
Lastly, this is a cheesy drawing I made of the proposed set-up after the remodel.
What do we do with this room without a purpose? |

Would it be possible to install a large island under the header beam that could hold your oven? You would then have room for the dishwasher where the oven was. As for the room with the bathroom, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I can understand not wanting to eat in that room, but setting up a computer/desk area shouldn't pose a problem. The door shouldn't be open when in use anyway, so what's the problem? ;) |
Email me a quick plan with all diminsions. I was a kitchen designer and think I see a way to make a more functional kitchen. Might mean moving the refrigerator. And is the chimney functional? Cathy |
What a beautiful sun room. The last thing I'd do with it would be to use it as a dining room. That would really limit its usage (unless you eat a lot or use that table for other activities). I can see not wanting the bathroom near the dining room if you hold long, drawn out dinner parties where people are slow to move away from the table. However, for daily use, surely people can restrain themselves from running to the loo between courses? However, if you turn the dining room into a place where you spend much time (TV watching area, computer area etc) that bathroom is still going to be a problem, perhaps an even worse one. I'd make the sunroom the living room, section the middle room off to create a narrow hallway to the bathroom, make the resulting smaller space between that wall and the stairs the computer area. Could be right cozy. |
I was also thinking a narrow hallway would help. But if that is to much $ how about a room divider or a weighted door on the br so it is shut most of the time? You could also consider placing a large indoor plant/tree there to obscure the view. Something like a lady palm might work great! I entertain a lot and instead of having a table in my eat in kitchen I have an armless sofa. Everyone seems to congergate around the kitchen and this makes for comfy seating! As a more intensive project you could also consider redesigning the layout of the bathroom, perhaps enlarging so there is a sitting area as you enter or atleast so the toilet isn't the first thing you see. Good Luck. Don't forget to post after pic's! |

Thank you all for the comments. I really like these ideas. My total budget is about $8000, with much of the work being done by myself and my family. The only labor we really have to pay for would be moving any plumbing or gas lines (I have to have my gas range!!). Cathy- I'll try to get all of the dimensions put together for you. Yes, the chimney stack is functional (I was even thinking of exposing it to add a bit more character to this very unique house). Thank you for the offer to help out! -Chris |

Cricket - Your kitchen is mine, but without the wonderful window over the sink and I have a cupboard above and below the left side of the stove. I have my desk and computer at the other end of the kitchen, that was the dining area. I too would make the sunroom a living area, unless you are like us, who sit at the table most of the time (go figure). Carol |
On the solid wall between the bathroom door and the door to the sunroom, I would build in storage the same depth as the kitchen counters (2 feet). This would effectively recess the bathroom door and create a small hallway into the sunroom. This storage could be floor to ceiling cupboards useful for pantry, cleaning supplies, you name it. Or it could be built like a long buffet with countertop and cabinets above and below. I would put the computer desk on the wall next to the stairs up, tucked between the door and the chimney -- you could build in a desk with bookcase above. I would put a large tree like plant by the window near the bathroom door or hang a tapestry to screen it. I would change out the chandelier to more diffuse lighting and have some casual, comfy seating (backs to the bathroom door) in that area for wine/coffee drinking, etc. I would change the kitchen to an L shape. I would leave the range where it is and extend the kitchen along the wall towards the window in what is now the living room. You could have a dishwasher right next to the sink, a small bit of counter and then the refrigerator framed in. I would end that run of cabinets with an angeled floor to ceiling corner cupboard that angles back from the window to the refrigerator. You could then have a small, perhaps moveable island or breakfast bar in the kitchen work area. |
I'd add a wall, and make the kitchen a seperate room! Maybe this will give you some ideas. You could gain a LOT of cabinet space in the kitchen, and more wall space for your sofa in the living area. You could also get your couch out from in front of the door. |

Wow Cricket, I love your sunroom. What a beautiful and functional dining room that will be. I for one have always enjoyed sitting at a dinining room table and reading or writing --- in addition to eating of course. Your's will be wonderfully well-lit. My suggestions are these: --- move the doorway going into the sunroom over to as close to the wall as possible. Where that white rectangle is. You could then put cabinets and counters next to your stove. It would make a huge difference in cooking prep. I moved the doorway between my living room and kitchen and was able to gain real space for my kitchen that way. Went from a one wall kitchen to an L-shaped kitchen. I thought moving a doorway next to a wall would be akward but because my gen'l contractor made it somewhat wider, it isn't awkward. My neighbors all say they wish they had seen this possibility. --- if possible. Put a pocket door to your bathroom. That way the door wouldn't swing out to the adjoining room. Perhaps this is not feasible, but I thought I would mention it. --- if the white rectangle is the chimney stack (?) then how about extending the kitchen out beyond the stove and refrigerator. Like pianolady suggests, but perhaps even more. --- okay, maybe this is stupid, but could you reverse the placement of the toilet and sink, so the throne isn't the first thing you see when the door swings open? Then put in a pedestal sink to not block the doorway. --- I would ignore header beams as room markers. When we live in small houses we need to maximize the space we are living in and using, and not worry about everything being perfectly logical. Those are my ideas. Good luck and keep us posted. Rachel |
I really like the idea of a wall blocking off the bathroom, making a small hallway. If you didn't want to put in a solid wall you could buy or build a large room divider. At the least put an attractive folding screen in front of the door to the bathroom. |

Hayden C. Hayden, grandson of Tempe's founder Charles Trumbull Hayden and longtime owner and manager of the Hayden Flour Mill in downtown Tempe, died Tuesday at his home. He was 83.
Hayden, nephew of the late Sen. Carl Hayden of Tempe, who spent 57 years in the United States Congress, served 1964-68 on the Tempe City Council.
Wounded three times as an Army serviceman in Okinawa in World War II, Hayden later was adjutant to the commanding officer of the Sugamo Prison in Japan where he was responsible for scheduling and witnessing the execution of Japanese war criminals, including its infamous chief of staff, Hedeki Tojo.
Known by his Tempe friends as "The General," Hayden grew up working around the family's flour mill, once the state's oldest continuously operated business until it permanently closed in March 1998. For decades, he traveled the state doing sales work for the mill and managed it until 1991, a decade after the mill was sold to Bay States Milling.
"He was a war hero," said John Moeur, former Tempe mayor and retired nursery owner, who noted, "When he ran Hayden Mill, I used to sell grain to him. That was back in the days when I raised barley."
Born May 26, 1922, into the pioneer family, Hayden was given the first name of his grandfather, but when his mother, Mary Mapes Hayden, sister of Carl Hayden, divorced her husband, he also took her last name, thus Hayden Hayden.
"He and Tempe go together," said Don Liem, a longtime friend who will deliver a eulogy at Hayden's funeral on Friday. "He was a funloving, dedicated man. He was very communityminded. Everybody respected him, everybody looked up to him."
Hayden joined the Tempe Diablos civic organization about 1970, served as its president and ran what was called "Diablos School for New Members," replete in no-nonsense training and indoctrination.
"He was a funny, irascible guy who really represented the Old West spirit of Tempe that has been kind of drowned out by all the new people who have moved in," said Michael Monti, owner of Monti's La Casa Vieja Restaurant, on the site of the birthplace of Carl Hayden. "He was the old time, the old way."
Peggy Burton, first director of the Tempe Historical Society Museum, said Hayden donated many valuable early Tempe artifacts.
"He would go out of his way for restoring and preserving the history," she said. Whenever a citizen would donate something large for the museum, Burton called the flour mill and "Hayden was the lifesaver. He would send the mill's men and truck up to pick it up," she said.
Services are tentatively set for 9:30 a.m. Friday at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church, 2121 S. Rural Road, Tempe. Visitation at Carr-Tenney Mortuary, 2621 S. Rural Road, is pending.
Hayden is survived by his wife of 54 years, Betty; three children, Catherine Hayden, Sallie Bianco and Carl Hayden; seven grandchildren; and a brother, Larry, of Tucson.

22 March 2012Eyeworks, the internationally reknowned production company, is relocating to a historic building in the heart of the centre of Amsterdam. This stately building, also known as the HES building, will serve as Eyeworks' international headquarters starting summer 2013.
This step marks a new milestone in the eleven year history of Eyeworks. The building at Raamplein 1 in Amsterdam will serve not only as the base for Eyeworks Holding, but also for its affiliates Eyeworks Netherlands and Eyeworks Film & TV Drama.
The new Eyeworks building was originally built in 1901 and was the long-time home for the Academy of Economic Studies (HES). Later, it served as a courthouse for several years. When, at the end of 2011, the building was up for sale, Eyeworks chose to make it their new home.
Reinout Oerlemans, CEO and founder of Eyeworks: "For some time now I was searching for a place in Amsterdam that matches our roots in a better way - an inspiring environment that fits our culture and aspirations. I'm very excited that we've found such a place! Not only for the 200 creative people who work with us here in the Netherlands, but also for the many international guests we welcome weekly in our headquarters, the building and the location will be very appealing."
Boudewijn Oranje, District Director of the city of Amsterdam: "We welcome Eyeworks as the new resident of this historic and landmark building in Amsterdam. It is a building with style that fits perfectly with the prominent role of Eyeworks in the media landscape, both at home and abroad. We are pleased with the fact that Eyeworks' head office will be located in the inner city, and will be so close to many other theater and entertainment venues in downtown Amsterdam."

Hello, just a quick question:
If we play a card that has an ACTION that say for example "All opponents must sacrifice a unit in quest zone", can we cancel that ACTION with another ACTION that say "Cancel the action just played". In rules it says sacrifice is absolute and cannot be cancelled by other effects, yet it also says that actions can be cancelled by other actions.
Same goes fro Non Combat Damage. If an ACTION say "deal X combat damage to this" can we cancel it with another ACTION that says "cancel the action just played" ?
Thank you.
Sacrifice and Non Combat Damage
Posted 09 August 2012 - 03:59 AM
Posted 09 August 2012 - 06:23 AM
In your first example, the sacrifice will happen when the action resolves. You respond to it with another action that cancels it, and (assuming there are no further responses) then you resolve the action chain in reverse order, so the action that would have resulted in the sacrifice gets canceled and no sacrifice takes place.
It's the same in your second example, the damage only gets dealt if the effect resolves successfully. If it gets canceled, that doesn't happen.
Note that an action that cancels another action or a card just played needs to be on the same action chain as the action/card it cancels. You cannot wait until the chain is resolving.
Posted 09 August 2012 - 12:55 PM
Thank you friend, you helped me. Cheers!

Covering your digital tracks
Watching the finale of the first season of Mad Men last night (Laura and I get our best TV by DVD) I was thinking about how difficult it would be to conceal an affair from your spouse in this day and age. It helps that people have their own phones, but email, social networking sites and the like provide so many more ways to get caught it you are not careful. It isn't enough that you have to cover your own tracks, you also have to worry about what the other person is doing on the very public Internet (looking at that story it always surprises me how many people make so much of their Facebook profiles public).
If you want to keep your wife and girlfriend from discovering each other you will have to do a bit more work. For starters you are going to need a new email address, and a second mobile phone. The first is easy, but be sure to clear the browser history after you look at it to cover your tracks. The second phone is a little more difficult as there is a cost issue, and you need to keep the "cheating" phone hidden. Apparently Nokias are the preferred phones for cheaters.
When if comes to Facebook and the like, you can probably claim "I am not on it", but it would look a little odd if you ask your new girlfriend not to mention your name, or put a photograph of you on the site in case it turns up in someone else's search. And how do you conceal your existing profile and relationship with your wife?
All this means you now have a new set of suspicious behaviours for your spouse to look out for, apart from the traditional overnights at the office, strange perfume smells, and lipstick on the collar (a sign of a kisser who need to sober up, or get better contact lenses).
My advice then for a spouse worried they are being cuckolded is to watch for their significant other deleting their Facebook profile pictures, changing their privacy settings to be more restrictive, or just deleting their profile. They may also set their browser to automatically clear the history and cache on exit. Be alert for signs they have a new mobile phone, and check if they have changed the password on their email account recently (Laura and I know each other's email passwords *smug*).
Of course if the cheater and the person they are cheating with know the affair is illicit then it becomes much easier. Until such time of course as one party discovers that the other will not leave their spouse as they promised*. Then you have a whole range of options for digital bunny boiling. Maybe I will make that my next post…
* I have never really understood the appeal to a woman of having an affair with a married man. If he has betrayed one woman (his current wife) he can betray another.

5 Things I Learned in Hartford
With more NHL games canceled it was time to make my way to another AHL game. Last month I went to the Times Union Center in Albany to watch the Devils at home, so this time I decided to head into enemy territory – Hartford, Connecticut. Here are a few things I learned from the XL Center and the Connecticut Whale.
1. Corner seats are pretty amazing.
Since AHL tickets are more affordable then tickets to any NHL game, I've been taking advantage and sitting right on the glass. I know, I know, you can't see a thing that close but I rarely have a chance to sit in these seats at the Prudential Center so I'm going for it while I can. For this game I tried corner seats and they were awesome! You get to be right up there for all the corner battles and big hits. You can hear the puck sliding along the boards at your feet and come face to face with pucks that are shot wide. I may or may not have jumped up a couple times thanks to high flying pucks.

Late bloomer: At 98, Palos Park woman has done more than 200 oil paintings
By Susan DeMar Lafferty email@example.com February 23, 2014 7:30PM
Jane Frazer catalogued her many oil paintings with photographs of them. | Susan DeMar Lafferty~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: March 25, 2014 6:12AM
Jane Frazer always has been rather creative, so it was no surprise to her family when — in her retirement — she developed a hidden talent for painting.
At age 98, Frazer now is the artist in residence at Peace Village in Palos Park, where many of her paintings are on display in the halls and in many individual apartments, including her own.
Before she retired from her job at Warren Turf Nursery, Frazer never had painted before. She picked it up as a hobby to pass the time and because it wasn't expensive. Since then, she estimates, Frazer has completed more than 200 oil paintings, mostly landscapes.
"I couldn't stay in the house 24 hours a day, so I found some free art classes," said Frazer, formerly of Evergreen Park. "I needed to do something, and this was free."
Her varied portfolio features rural scenes, beaches, bridges, forests and flowers. About 20 are displayed in a long, sunny hallway on the first floor at Peace Village, which bought several of Frazer's works.
She attributes her success to having good teachers. One teacher in particular gave her a lot of artistic freedom.
"She would make suggestions for improvement, but she didn't try to change what I was doing," Frazer said. "That kept my interest going. I was there to do what I wanted to do."
She especially wanted to paint scenery. Most of her landscapes are from the South Side of Chicago.
With her art supplies stashed in her car, Frazer would drive around the area, and if something caught her eye, she would stop and paint. If she could not stop at that moment, she would make a note of the location and return when she could.
"I liked to paint on the spot, instead of from a photograph," she said. "I didn't travel much."
She also considered herself a "fast painter" — completing a scene in a couple of days.
But if it didn't turn out as she planned, she would paint over it.
"Once I had an idea, it didn't take me long," she said. "I'm pretty fast at whatever I do."
She shied away from portraitures.
"I knew my vision would not be the same as their vision of themselves," she said.
Her advice to those who may want to dabble in the arts — or anything — is simple: "Try it. You never know. I didn't know."
Jane Frazer's name is well known at Peace Village, said her caregiver, Marj Villarin.
"If they don't know her personally, they know her name. People see her and say, 'Oh, you're Jane Frazer? I've seen your paintings,' " she said. "I feel like I'm taking care of a celebrity."
Frazer admitted it "feels good" seeing all her artwork in the halls of this retirement community where she has lived for 15 years. After suffering a minor stroke a few years ago, she no longer paints, but she still enjoys playing cards, working on jigsaw puzzles, doing crafts and reading.
"She was always creative, always used her talents in one way or another," her son Bruce Frazer said. She also sewed clothes, polished gemstones, designed jewelry and was "quite an excellent cook," he said.
Many years ago, his mother entered a contest to design a logo for the Evergreen Park Public Library and won. She also exhibited — and sold — her artwork at local art shows.
"She had a locker full of paintings," Bruce Frazer said.
Family members, including her son, daughter, two grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, all have selected their favorites.
"I've been around so long, I've done it all," Jane Frazer said. "It's all about using your mind. I can't just sit here and watch TV. It puts me to sleep."

Health and safety of its employees is a key focus of the concrete industry strategy.
Two indicators are used to report performance:
Reportable injuries per 100,000 direct employees per annum
The indicator for reportable injuries has shown a consistent improvement since 2008, the 2012 value representing a 39% reduction from the 2008 level.
Lost Time Injuries (LTI) for direct employees per 1 million hours worked
The indicator for lost time injuries continues to show improvement in the overall concrete and concrete + reinforcement values with 2012 showing a reduction of around 30% since 2010.
In 2010 the data capture was extended considerably and the 2009 and 2010 data sets are not directly comparable, consequently values are also shown based on the 2009 baseline. The values for 'concrete as 2009 baseline' are also showing good progress with 50% reduction having been achieved by 2012.
Please read Our Strategy 2020 Commitments here. Further information on the health and safety indicator can be found in the full report.
*A Reportable Injury is defined as any injury that is reportable under the Reporting of Injuries, Disease and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 (RIDDOR). In 2012 the HSE definition of reportable changed to from 3 days to 7 days. The concrete industry indicator will remain at 3 days. **A Lost Time Injury is defined as an occupational injury resulting in the absence of the injured party for one or more working shifts.

Usher testified in court today that things once got physical between his girlfriend Grace Miguel and ex-wife Tameka Raymond with Tameka spitting at her. Get the deets inside and find out what Wendy Williams has to say about black women and plastic surgery.
Who knew Tameka Raymond was "Bout it Bout it?"
Earlier today, Usher testified in court that the day he showed up at Tameka's house with his girlfriend Grace Miguel (he called Grace his "girlfriend" under oath but seems to deny it to the media), Tameka went HAM hitting him, throwing food and spitting at his girlfriend.
As the ex-couple continues to battle for custody, Usher said Tameka approached him and Grace and "wanted to fight." He said that Tameka walked up to the car and said, "I'm gonna kick your ass. Bitch get out of the car. How dare you bring this woman into my subdivision in my house?" He added, "She continued to spit. At this point she pulled the door open, tried to swing at her."
Deep sigh. He alleges that after he got out of the car to calm her, Tameka hit him. THEN, "she threw a plate of food at the car!" He added that one day, Tameka told Grace, "I will f**k you up."
Watch the video here:
There's three sides to every story. We do know that. But we can't say we wouldn't be surprised if every bit of this was true. Maybe not the full story, but true.
Wendy Williams may have been spotted munching on hot dogs and BBQ while taping her show earlier, but if the pounds ever start to load up…she knows how to get them off. During a recent interview with XO Jane, Wendy expressed her love of plastic surgery and addressed her critics. Wendy (who is open about her liposuction, breast implants and tummy tucks) said black women are just JEALOUS of her post-surgical body because they think you're supposed to be natural.
"They are jealous. Because if I said to that person, 'I got the doctor and I'm going to pay for it. Choose three things you want to do,' believe me, they would get it done. They are very jealous and scared. Scared of what their other friends would say, or to break out of the box and be different. And being Black? Ugh, please. My people will not go for any kind of surgery. We are supposed to be natural. Ugh, whatever."
Oh Wendy….
She also addressed her "wig" haters saying, "If you do wear a wig, everybody wants you to take off the wig and show your hair. That's what Tyra [Banks] did on her show years ago. Because she was running out of ideas trying to shock her audience."
Watch Wendy behind the scenes here:
Bobbi Kris stole our hearts last night during the 2012 Billboard Awards' tribute to her mother Whitney Houston. But she also spent part of the weekend breaking the law as video has surfaced of she and Nick Gordon at the slot machines of the MGM Resort and Casino on Saturday. Because Nick is 22, his presence was fine….but 19-year-old Bobbi Kris at the slots was a no-no! If she would have won any money–she wouldn't have been allowed to receive it as casinos require an ID stating you're over 21 in order to receive a payout. And they've got cameras EVERYWHERE. The casino is now launching an investigation.
Watch Bobbi Kris gambling here.

I am up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Brandi is 3 month old cuddly little girl. She has two brothers who are also looking for homes. Her mother, as near as we can tell, is a yellow lab mixed with doxie or corgi. I think they may be some Sheppard as well. She is so friendly, and runs right up to greet you.
She is searching for a new home, where she can have someone who has the time and attention she will need to train her and give her all the love a puppy needs. Someone who is home alot, or has a flexible schedule would be ideal. She loves to run and play with her brothers, she is playful, yet can be calm when it is snuggle time. She would love a house with a big fenced yard, and maybe another dog to play with.
Brandi has had her first shot, and is currently up to date. Her adoption fee includes her spay, microchip, Rabies, DHLPP shots.
Brandi is currently located near Tri Cities, but transport to the Seattle area can be arranged for an approved adopter.
Please email email@example.com for an application to adopt her!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Brandi, a Seattle Dachshund/Miniature Pinscher puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dachshund/Miniature Pinscher for sale in Seattle, or seeking a Dachshund/Miniature Pinscher puppy from a breeder in Seattle.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Seattle 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 Seattle 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 Dachshund/Miniature Pinscher breeders who help with Dachshund/Miniature Pinscher rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Seattle paves the way for another one to be saved.

Struggling to decide between the two. Those of you who have had experience with them, are there any pros/cons?
From what I've read, globemaster has bigger blooms, but is a lighter color purple. Purple sensation is darker with smaller blooms. A few questions remain:
2.) Is purple sensation shorter? 3.) And most importantly... (because if I can't decide I think I'll just mix them which might be nice to have a variety of sizes/shades of purple in the border anyway) Do they bloom at the same time? I don't want one to die out faster than the other leaving me having to cut down 1/2 the blooms and making the border less full. I'd rather have a 'big bang' and have it be done :) Thanks for your help and experience---this newbie appreciates it! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Also, How would go about arranging 2 varieties in a bed? Should I do a triangle of 3 globemaster, then a triangle of 3 purple sensation, or should I do a triangular grouping of both types---mixing them up? Do I have to keep the shorter ones in front? That would mean I'd do a grouping of 3 globemasters in back, move up and do a grouping of 3 sensations, then move back and do another group of 3 globemasters..... I really just have no idea! |

Tourism: French lessons
With Seattle's tourism funding all but gone, France offers inspiration and a few tips.
Economic development is an engine that runs on many cylinders (manufacturing, education, construction, housing, health care, transportation, to name a few). Easily overlooked is travel and tourism — a sprawling, loosely defined category with a relatively low profile. The hospitality industry in the U.S. isn't particularly well-organized politically, and its customers — "tourists" — are often considered a nuisance. It's a huge, decentralized business (as many people work in the restaurant industry as in the automobile industry) but, unlike, say, manufacturing, it has no history of cooperation or mutually beneficial associations, so it has less influence when governments set economic development budgets that include tourism promotion.
While Seattle frets at the closing of Washington State's office of tourism promotion, and the local hospitality industry volunteers to tax itself to raise a paltry $5 million or so, other states and other countries are raising bundles of cash to entice travelers to visit, spend money, stay in hotels, rent cars, eat in restaurants, and go shopping.
First, a look at France, where tourism is taken very seriously indeed. La Belle France! No country is more dependent on international tourism, no country welcomes more visitors (over 75 million in 2010). And yet, et pourtant . . .
Every time there's a study, the conclusions are the same: France offers the most cultural sites of any European country, some of the best food, most spectacular scenery, and liveliest city life, but its sense of welcome is, on the whole, insufficient.
The perceived lack of welcome leads to shorter stays and less revenue from tourism, so the new Minister of Tourism, Frédéric LeFebvre, has a strong financial incentive to improve things. (We'll leave for another time the fact that there's a cabinet-level official in France responsible for tourism development.) LeFebvre is going to start with the international gateway airports (Charles de Gaulle and Orly), the national railroad SNCF, and the Paris métro to improve, if nothing else, the quality of signage.
Yes, signs are important, but so is service. Doesn't help if there are long lines at understaffed immigration, customs, and security checkpoints. Doesn't help if there are shiny new information booths if waiters in the cafés are impatient. Doesn't help if cabbies are rude or the sidewalks covered with dog shit.
"Bonjour" used to be the catchphrase for a nationwide campaign that reminded every retailer in the country that tourists are visitors to be cossetted rather than transients to be ignored. Lefebvre's response is to commission yet another study to elicit the reaction of international visitors to the quality of French welcome.
As for me, I've seen a sea-change over the past 25 years — most of it coming in just the last few — in the number and quality of tourism resources for wine and culinary travel. Rare indeed is the Gallic "pfft!" and shrug of indifference. Courtesy is everywhere.
At Rendez-Vous France, a travel industry trade show held in Bordeaux earlier this year, the stars were the newcomers — small businesses (hotels, B&Bs, restaurants, even wineries) with a commitment to hard work and good service. The 650 French exhibitors welcomed 900 tour operators from 57 countries (almost two thirds from Europe, only one in six from the Americas), with some 20,000 20-minute appointments held in the course of the two-day event. The most sought-after tour operators were the Brazilians and the Russians, whose clients spend the most money when they travel. (Used to be the Yanks, decades ago.)
This was the first Rendez-Vous since UNESCO officially listed "The French Meal" on its roster of intangible World Heritage. With an hour each day for lunch, the trade show's catering company managed to serve a three-course, sit-down lunch to all 2,000 attendees, with white and red wines, sparkling and still water, plus coffee. And not iceberg lettuce, either: Salmon gravlax with a mayonnaise dressing; free-range guinea fowl with carrots, and a molded fruit compote.
But no fromage. They save that for dinner.

Well, as you point out, there's a whole lot more for tourists to see in France. Even though I'm a Seattle native, about all I can suggest to anyone visiting for the first time would be Space Needle, Pike Place Market, ferry ride to Bremerton/Bainbridge and maybe the library and EMP if they have an interest in architecture. And a drive along Lake Washington Boulevard if they have a car. I dare speak the blasphemy: Seattle is just another medium-size city among many, and aside from its location not all that different from Denver or Charlotte...
Posted Fri, Aug 12, 4:25 p.m.
My family has a standard tour we do for out-of-town guests that does a bit more than your suggested itinerary, but it's the apples and oranges part of your argument that I would really disagree with -- there's a huge difference between promoting a country and promoting a city.
But whatever the context, I am truly frustrated that resources for local tourism (city/region/state) are being decimated. This is a part of the economy that puts money in our pocket as well as fostering better relations with all kinds of people -- it's very short-sighted to toss it aside.
Posted Sat, Aug 13, 2:27 a.m.
France offers beauty and charm in many of the things that have been made by its people. The U.S. offers a million indistinguishable strip malls, the "geography of nowhere." Here in the NW we do have ancient forests and reasonably wild places that people haven't yet gotten their hands on much, and hopefully won't. Such places are scarce in France, and those of us NW'erners who appreciate such things can feel the lack of them. But practically everything else is way more interesting in France. No way can the USA ever compete with the place.
The people there are a lot healthier looking, too.

Didn't have any trouble finding this one. It was a good workout and I finished it in about 2 1/2 hours. I wasn't bothered at all by the temperature since I was dressed appropriately. This surely beats battling the bugs and mosquitoes when its warm out. This is an awesome series and thank you 4mnms for all your efforts in putting this altogether.

Syllabification: un·sat·u·rat·edPronunciation: /ˌənˈsaCHəˌrādəd
Definition of unsaturated in English:
Chemistry 1(Of organic molecules) having carbon-carbon double or triple bonds and therefore not containing the greatest possible number of hydrogen atoms for the number of carbons.
Example sentences
- In common with all unsaturated hydrocarbons hydrogen can be added across the double bond to produce ethane.
- Thus conjugation can occur in molecules in which the unsaturated sites are close in space but are separated by more than a single covalent bond.
- The unsaturated benzene ring readily reacts with halogens, rapidly discoloring bromine water.
1.1Denoting fats containing a high proportion of fatty acid molecules with at least one double bond, considered to be healthier in the diet than saturated fats.
Example sentences
- In the case of oil palm, trees can be manipulated to produce more unsaturated fatty acids.
- Mono unsaturated fatty acids are liquid at room temperature.
- The majority of your fat intake should come from unsaturated fats.
- 1
- Example sentences
- The color of a dye is due to its ability to absorb light in the visible region of the spectrum, an ability enhanced by unsaturation (presence of double bonds in the molecule) and resonance.
- The current work shows that lipid asymmetry and unsaturation both result in high critical pressures in monolayers.
- Qualitative changes in the levels of fatty acids also occur with cold acclimation, leading to unsaturation of the fatty acids and subsequent protection of plant membranes against freezing stress.

While the College of the Ozarks Men's Basketball team is tuning up for the Midlands Collegiate Athletic Conference tournament and the Baseball team getting ready for MCAC play, the Lady Bobcat Basketball Squad faces one of its biggest games of the year tonight as all three teams are in action this weekend.
C of O BasketballThe Men already know they are the Number Two Seed in the MCAC South Tournament as they play at Oklahoma Wesleyan and Haskell the next two days, but the Lady Bobcats have plenty to play for as they take the court tonight in Bartlesville. Even with a Number 19 National Ranking and 21 overall wins, the Lady Bobcats find themselves in third place in the MCAC Standings and needing wins both tonight against Oklahoma Wesleyan and Saturday at Haskell to move into the second spot in the MCAC Standings and the host role for the MCAC South Tournament. A loss in either game would more in likely mean they would also have to go along with the Men to Bartlesville to open MCAC Tournament play. Tonight's games are at 5:30 and 7:30, Saturday's contest are at 3:00 and 5:00 with all four games on Hometown Daily News.com and 106.3 KRZK.
C of O BaseballThe Bobcats are off to a 4-4 start for the season and are coming off a split with Evangel on Tuesday as they entertain Mount Mercy of Iowa with games starting at Noon on Saturday and 2:00 on Sunday.

Facial Treatments
Pick the Perfect Professional At-home Masks
By: Lydia Sarfati
Posted: January 2, 2014, from the January 2014 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 2 of 2
Following each and every treatment, it is so important to recommend at-home care for your clients. As a professional, you need to inform them about the importance of masking at home. In between professional visits, clients should be regularly masking with the appropriate mask for their skin type from your retail area. This is essential in order to maintain the benefits of their monthly in-spa facial. It is also important that your client knows how to properly use at-home facial masks to achieve optimum results.
First, instruct clients to apply their mask to a clean face—this is your opportunity to direct them to a facial cleanser that would be beneficial for their skin type. Then, using a tester, show your clients the amount of product they should be using when applying the mask.
Proper removal of a mask is essential, as well. Facial masks should be removed by splashing the face with clean water and then gently patting the face dry with a clean towel. Clients should not scrub off the mask with a washcloth, because this could cause damage to the delicate structure of the skin and add bacteria back to the skin.
Unmask success
Masking is such an important part of a professional skin care treatment and at-home maintenance. With the right products and techniques, you can help your clients' unmask a healthy, beautiful complexion!
Lydia Sarfati, president and founder of Repêchage, is an internationally recognized skin care expert quoted in Vogue, InStyle, Glamour and The New York Times, and she has been featured on CNN, CBS and Fox.

Monty named Molinari, whose brother Francesco had already qualified for the matches later this year in Wales, Luke Donald – who was on a birdie barrage of his own at The Barclays, and Padraig Harrington his captain's picks.
"I think I needed (the Johnnie Walker victory). Honestly if I didn't win I don't think I had a chance of being a pick," Edoardo Molinari said.
The odd men out on Sunday were Justin Rose, a two-time PGA Tour winner this year and one of the few European highlights from the 2008 matches, and Paul Casey, who struggled with injury for much of the selection process.

Poor pooches, the one on the left does look confused doesn't he? I like those dogs on the right, they always look like they are smiling.

HB Acquires Winans Creative
HB enhances its ability to utilize technology to deliver your story and measure effectiveness.
How will the acquisition benefit HB clients?
Nicolas Boillot, CEO
How will technology play a role at HB?
Blair Winans, VP, Digital Marketing
What can Winans Creative clients expect?
Michela Paolucci, Project Coordinator
Culture & Capabilities
By Kevin Hart
When I walked through the doors at Winans Creative, I instantly knew… this is going to work. Sure, we've known Blair since he worked at HB thirteen years ago. We stayed in touch when he left HB and Nicolas and I encouraged him when he founded WC, even sending prospects his way and partnering on projects together. So when we had lunch one day and talked about how we could make the relationship stronger, it seemed a natural fit.
The addition of capabilities such as deep web development, database management, CSS & responsive design, app design and creation makes HB a much stronger agency. Delivering an intimate experience on all screens is critical, especially in the mobile computing age. With a B2B client base, HB understands how businesses make purchasing decisions and more importantly how those decisions have evolved. B2B can easily be defined as Business to Individual in the mobile age. And while brilliant ideas must still come from the minds of creative, smart and inspired people, those ideas are worthless without expertise in technology to ensure they reach and influence the right audiences. The WC acquisition adds a suite of capabilities to HB's marketing arsenal and our clients will reap the benefits.
Culture can be just as important as capabilities, particularly in a creative business like ours, where clients should enjoy working with us. Investing time with people you admire, respect and appreciate makes the work more meaningful. That's why this acquisition is win/win for all at WC, HB and our combined clients.
HB Agency Acquires Winans Creative
Provides HB Clients a Path to Marketing Success on All Screens
Newton, Mass. – February 26, 2014 – Fragmented communications channels create barriers for companies needing to tell their stories and reach their audiences. In an important step toward breaking through these barriers, HB Agency, an integrated marketing and public relations firm, has acquired Winans Creative, a marketing, technology and digital development studio based in Easthampton, Mass. The acquisition will give businesses access to sophisticated marketing technology solutions to reach their clients, prospects and influencers on all screens.
HB clients will benefit from fully integrated marketing campaigns incorporating strategy, measurement, creative design and technology. Examples of new capabilities created by the acquisition include:
- Custom Android and iOS mobile and web application development
- Implementation of comprehensive content marketing engines
- Increased performance and better customer experiences for existing online marketing hubs, from content marketing to SEO and SEM
- Digital marketing services including SEO/SEM/retargeting/e-commerce
- Analytics/marketing measurement solutions built to test and optimize campaigns in order to determine what drives leads and conversions
"Our clients market to customers who consume information using tablets, phones, laptops desktops, web-enabled televisions and more. HB's acquisition of Winans Creative helps put client messages in those places, along with a measurement framework to assess and validate marketing programs," said Nicolas Boillot, CEO, HB Agency. "Whether our team is helping persuade audiences through content or figuring out ways to bridge the gap from lead generation to sales, technology is critical. The Winans acquisition means more integrated and enhanced website development, the rollout of branded mobile/web applications, branding across more channels, tracking more data and having more of marketing aligned under the same strategies."
The acquisition, HB's second in the past six months, marks the firm's commitment to helping its clients influence the right audiences at the right time and place, using the best media on the right device to maximize results for every campaign or message.
Winans Creative brings a strong history of successful design and digital development, complementing HB's existing creative services team. The firm will become HB's development team, delivering marketing messages across platforms using apps, mobile, web and custom-created digital channels to solve client marketing problems.
"Winans Creative has been exploring the best use of technology in marketing for nearly a decade. Integrating with HB allows for delivery of the right messages using the right media through the right channels," said Blair Winans, founder, Winans Creative. "The HB team is so robust, guiding its clients in customer engagement, sales enablement, lead generation, digital development and delivery, and more. Putting our resources together creates an agency with resources most other firms cannot match."
Winans Creative founder Blair Winans joins HB as vice president, digital development. The combined company is headquartered in Newton, Mass., with an office in Easthampton, Mass.

Guitar World's guide to the top 10 guitar-playing frontmen in rock — past and present.
Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler discuss an early but influential confrontation with skinheads.
A muted but deep depiction of this artist's state of mind
There are a lot of great electric solidbody guitars on the market these days, but the vast majority of them look and sound similar to a handful of classic models introduced in the Fifties.
MusicVox is one of the few present-day companies that are truly doing their own thing and providing players with something a little different than the status quo. The MusicVox MI-5 and Space Cadet Custom Special models may have very cool and quirky styling, but at their heart they are no-nonsense players' instruments designed to deliver the goods in the studio and onstage.
Guitarist Zane Carney's musical journey started from an early age. Following a successful four-year stint as a star on a Nineties sitcom, the former child actor dabbled with guitar before deciding to retire from the acting craft to begin seriously honing his guitar skills.

Although I still haven't seen SkyFall, the new James Bond flick, I did have the MI-5 to keep me company. No, none of the UK's deadliest spies were here to assassinate me. I'm talking about the MI-5, Musicvox's latest 12-string electric guitar, curiously named after Britain's internal cloak-and-dagger intelligence agency. I can safely say the only thing undercover about this guitar is how its 12 tuners are slyly arranged on its headstock.
In the following video, Guitar World's Paul Riario checks out the outrageously compact Space-inator from the folks at Musicvox.

iKnucks Case Turns iPhones into Brass Knuckles
If you live in a tough neighborhood – or perhaps one overrun with zombies – you might want to carry something to defend yourself with. While you could go with some brass knuckles, or maybe even some electrified ones, the iKnucks seem like a much more practical idea for today's gadget-obsessed consumers.
A picture really does say a thousand words with the iKnucks, which doubles as both a case for your iPhone and a set of nasty brass knuckles. Actually, they look more stainless steel than brass from the picture, but that's just a rendering. They even have spikes on the finger holes to really help dole out some damage.
There aren't really any other details about the iKnucks, other than the fact that they've been posted up on Thingiverse by someone named CMWallace. Many designs posted on Thingiverse can be used to generate a 3D printed version, but it looks like we've only got some renderings at this point. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if somebody tries to create a real version at some point. I certainly wouldn't want to get into a scuffle with someone on their iKnucks outfitted iPhone, would you?

Hey guys! I've been listening to the radio show for a couple years. It's great for keeping up with what's going on at Disney -- as well as making me very jealous hearing about all the great events I'm missing out on! :P
Growing up in Ohio, WDW was a yearly vacation for my family and I. I've since moved down to Florida and gone a few more times. It's still my favorite vacation spot. Just a week ago I got my first annual pass!
Here's my quick story -- my last two vists, I decided to book 2 nights at the Beach Club, since the off season resident rates are around $200+. When we got there, they upgraded our rooms to 5th floor concierge!
But it doesn't end there -- the NEXT weekend we go, I decided OK I'll get ONE night at Beach Club, and then save some money and go value for 2 more nights. Well, we check out of Beach Club, and go over to the value resort. At the front desk the lady calls over a manager and he tells us -- we're so sorry, we're overbooked... have you heard of the Beach Club?
SCORE! Upgraded from value to Beach Club! So we go back over and check in again! I know it really doesn't matter where you stay, since you can visit any of the resorts, but the rooms are a little nicer and close to Epcot.
But, my girlfriend and I are so spoiled now! We'll never want to stay at the value resorts now lol! I guess it's the Caribbean at LEAST for now on!

The United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) is seeking ladies in the Greene County area of Virginia to join our organization and honor their Confederate heritage. The UDC has a long history in Virginia of working to preserve Southern history and monuments. Among the many wonderful projects these ladies perform: they mark Confederate Soldiers graves with Government Markers & Iron Crosses to signify their service in the War Between the States (WBTS), they sponsor and maintain numerous Confederate monuments throughout Virginia, and they support active duty and retired military personnel through donations, awards, and volunteer hours. If you are descended from a Confederate soldier or sailor, or from someone who served in the Confederate government, and you are interested in becoming a member of the UDC, please contact me and I can put you in contact with the nearest chapter in your area. If you are not sure if you have a Confederate ancestor, but are interested in joining the UDC, please let me know and we can work with you to determine if you qualify for membership. If you have a family member who was a member of the UDC or the Children of the Confederacy, we hope that you will carry on the tradition and consider joining the UDC. Thank you for taking the time to read such a long posting. I look forward to hearing from List Members.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Crystal!
Facts about Crystal
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray, Blue Or Silver Tabby
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Crystal's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
You can visit with Roxy at the Petsmart in Foothill Ranch, CA. We hold adoptions every Sat/Sun from 12 noon-3pm or for an appointment to visit Boo Bear please call 949-829-0036.,
Hi, my name is Roxy and I'm just the cutest little 13 week old, female kitten. With my rich black fur and bright pink collar I'm sure to catch your attention. Roxy was rescued from a tree by a good samaritan and brought to the rescue. Roxy is a sweet as can be and loves to run and play and be cuddled - and she gets along with other cats. Roxy deserves a warm and loving home with people who will love her forever. Come on over to Petsmart and see for yourself what a little cutie she is. Please call 949-829-0036 to make an appointment to meet Roxy in person.
Other Pets at Forever Home Cat Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Crystal, a Foothill Ranch Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Foothill Ranch, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Foothill Ranch.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Foothill Ranch 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 Foothill Ranch 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Foothill Ranch paves the way for another one to be saved.

Kiska received state honours, has no reservations in Čentéš case
3 Jul 2014
Flash News
President Andrej Kiska received state awards only on July 3, although he should have received them already during his inauguration on June 15. "The President of the Slovak Republic is entitled to the top ranks of all state awards, except for the Order of the White Double-Cross and the Medal of the President of the Slovak Republic," the SITA newswire quoted the Act on Slovak Awards. "The Chair of the Slovak Constitutional Court will hand over the top ranks of all state awards the president is entitled to after the latter has taken on the position of president." Law was violated by the postponed awarding, expert on protocol Jarolím Antal told SITA, adding that the chair of CC, Ivetta Macejková should have told Kiska that he is entitled the symbolic awards from his inauguration until his death. "The law was violated, but it is good they remedied the situation; otherwise, the awards would not belong to him," Antal summed up. During the meeting, Kiska gave Macejková a letter confirming for her that he has no reservations of bias towards Constitutional Court judges in complaints and moves of Jozef Čentéš, the president's advisor Rado Baťo told the TASR newswire. When acquiring his position, Kiska became the person to represent the party in this trial. Kiska said that he did not identify with the reservations of bias announced by his predecessor, Ivan Gašparovič. [The Constitutional Court (CC) on July 29, 2013 and adopted the first verdict concerning the case of elected but never appointed candidate for prosecutor general, Jozef Čentéš. The CC panel consisting of Rudolf Tkáčik, Ľudmila Gajdošíková and Iveta Macejková decided that justices Ján Auxt and Ľubomír Dobrík are not excluded from further decision-making in his case.] The CC had been blocked from meeting by parliament in recent weeks. Čentéš had contested the two justices citing bias and their close relationship with President Ivan Gašparovič, who had refused to appoint Čentéš, the Sme daily wrote then. In the past, justices excused themselves from the panel deciding on a similar matter concerning Čentéš, citing potential bias. The court did not specify the reasons for this step on its website. Auxt and Dobrík were to rule on the objection filed by Gašparovič in February 2013. A week later, Čentéš filed an objection of bias concerning Auxt and Dobrík, TASR wrote. The case has been deadlocked since. Čentéš was elected for the post of general prosecutor in June 2011. However, Gašparovič declined to formally appoint him, citing various CC cases that had been brought relating to Čentéš' election. In October 2011, the CC ruled that both secret and open ballots were legitimate means for parliament to elect the general prosecutor (the secret ballot was the reason cited for Čentéš not being appointed, although he was finally elected in an open vote). Finally, in late 2012, the CC ruled that the president has the right to refuse to appoint parliament's choice of general prosecutor, but that he must cite good reasons for doing so. At the end of 2012, Gašparovič sent a letter to the parliament speaker formally rejecting Čentéš. Čentéš promptly appealed this decision to the CC, but the case became bogged down as between Čentéš and Gašparovič the two challenged 12 of the court's 13 judges on grounds of alleged bias. Kiska said that he would welcome the Constitutional Court to rule in the case as soon as possible. (Source: SITA, TASR, Sme) |
