I love this comment. You're so right that they've undervalued their work, and I hope it comes up at contract time.
But you're trying to convince a bunch of guys who passed a sixth grade test when they were 21 and still brag about it.
They don't understand what stealing is, let alone arbitrage!
If you work a third, fourth or fifth 24 hour shift in a week for 75-250 bucks under the table, you're obviously not capable of earning real money outside the fire department.
Overtime shifts for 3-10 bucks an hour? The shifts aren't that tough if you can work that much, for that little.
I love the apologists for these thieves who think "this was all they could get him on, this obscure charge." He made a deal to save himself felony charges and prison time.
The rest of the charges are coming. He ratted out everyone he could to save himself. Remember, this is a guy who paid his dimwitted "brothers" as little as half minimum wage to risk their lives while he collected pay and benefits!
Stay tuned for the rest of these frauds to face charges.
Saint Cassian, a writing teacher stabbed to death by students for refusing to offer a pagan sacrifice.
And Saint Florian, patron of garbage who pay their "brothers" half of minimum wage to risk their lives in their place.
I'm not a good Catholic either. Wasn't the best public servant. But in my family's generations of service, we didn't steal from the city, and we didn't take advantage of the less fortunate or less intelligent members of our departments.
This disgraced public employee isn't a scapegoat. He made a deal with prosecutors to save himself at the expense of his supposed brothers, all of whom are talking with their own attorneys or making similar deals.
This embarrassment wanted to run a personal business while letting taxpayers foot the bill for his health insurance, pension and other benefits--and he wanted the security of knowing he could fall back on his city job if his business failed.
Paying your "brother/caddy/mule" as little as 75 bucks to work a third or fourth 24-hour shift in a week, a shift these heroes would have you believe is filled with danger and hard physical work while you continue to earn full pay and benefits?
No wonder this guy turned so quickly. Paying his "brothers" little more than 3 dollars an hour to risk their life in his place says everything about what this scammer thought of his "brothers."
This guy used taxpayers to eliminate most of the risk honest small business owners every day. He demeaned his "brothers" by paying them less than half minimum wage.
And he got off easy. Stay tuned for more charges, more resignations and more guilty pleas.
Long after the last sentences are handed down, and the last forced resignations are handed in, the Cleveland Fire Department will be remembered for its culture of stealing.
This culture of entitlement and theft was built deliberately over decades and is unique to CFD. No other police, fire or EMS agency within the City of Cleveland or northeast Ohio has systematically defrauded taxpayers in this institutional manner.
It is telling that CFD apologists continue to defend the practice of defrauding PFPF, Medicare and the city by collecting pay and benefits that were not earned.
Can a Cleveland police officer or paramedic spend a month building a house or running their own business? Not without using their accumulated time and getting the secondary employment approved by the city.
Cleveland's police officers and paramedics truly do see misery and graphic injury on a daily basis. Cleveland Fire's internet gasbags have to go back 13 years to find an instance where Timothy DeBarr was actually involved in fighting a serious fire.
What Cleveland's cops and paramedics doing in 1999? Working. And they've worked their shifts ever since. What were the taxpayers doing, the ones we begged to support public pension benefits last year, the taxpayers you CFD gasbags continually insult? They were working, too.
We all were working while you guys schemed and scammed, showed up for work drunk or hungover and went right to bed, ate huge made-from-scratch meals, detailed your cars or paid someone illegally to show up for you. And ya, occasionally you fought fires. Thanks for occasionally doing your jobs and the rest of the time looking down on hardworking public servants and taxpayers and figuring out how to steal from them.
Before the city hires to replace these thieves, it should reconsider how candidates are selected.
My prediction that the Fire Department was going to love working for Ed Eckart has come true! Local 93 wants better management and oversight so these payroll abuses don't happen? Local 93 wants better accounting than those antiquated systems that FORCED firefighters to bilk the city?
Done! When Eckart is through, you'll have your retina scanned on your way to pick up your ancient, beat-to-death engine or ladder to go sit on street corners like EMS does.
When he's through, your twenty-four hour shifts will be a fading memory, shift trades will require approval from city council, and no one will live or work out-of-state because you'll be working six eights in a row.
Need a day off? Nicole Carlton will let you know...BUT THE ANSWER'S GONNA BE NO!
You'll love your new fire stations, too, modern DYNAMIC FIRE STATIONS! You'll get a desk in a hospital hallway, or maybe a closet in a nursing home! You won't need a kitchen or weight room or open bays to detail your cars anymore, cause you're just going to pick up radios and go.
Just wait until your bloated 800-man force is down to 600, AND you'll be doing EMS too! Then 500...how low can Eckart go? Take it from your friends at EMS, pretty low!
Oh, and this Saturday, you're gonna need permission to wear the Class A's for the parade! Think I'm kidding? I'm not! And wait until Eckart sees you guys drunk in uniform! Make sure you Facebook your St. Patrick's Day antics, cause the only way you guys are getting time off is when you're suspended!
Best of all, you'll know you did it to yourselves, by years of bashing EMS and demanding a merger! Remember when Stubbs was talking about the new merged department and how he was going to run it? Where is he now? Where is Eckart? You guys are geniuses!
Go ahead, destroy documents! Lawyer up! Take the Fifth! Make the taxpayers who just voted to protect pensions proud!
Like I said, you're gonna love working for Ed Eckart!
Here's a plan to improve EMS response times and the quality of life in the city of Cleveland: eliminate the fire battalion and shift chief drivers. Police and EMS supervisors don't have drivers. 21 full time firefighters driving chiefs around in SUVs...in a perfect world-- great, but we can't afford it. Seven drivers per shift; there's three ambulances of staffing right there! You're welcome, Mayor Jackson!
We could cut a whole battalion, now that I think about it! Just spread out the other FIVE battalions across the city and no one would no the difference!
How about cutting two fire rescue units: 8 firefighters per shift is four more ambulances, and we'd still have an east side rescue, a west side rescue, and a central rescue all doing nothing most of the time! Don't worry Local 93, we'll only cut the ones you took the cots out of!
In fact, think of the money we could save by NOT giving a fire test? We're integrating fire and EMS, we won't need any new firefighters for years! Oh, and as for whether EMS women and minorities can handle the rigors of firefighting...I think they can. After all, plenty of CFD units are staffed with four guys deep into their sixties. I'll take two EMS women as backup, thank you. And as far as mental competence, well, let's just say when they tell you these elderly firefighters have forgotten more about firefighting than you'll ever know, they're not kidding!
Here's another idea: Make the BEAM mechanic position a MECHANIC, or outsource it. A fire LIEUTENANT topping off oil? Can't afford it. More money saved. No problem, Marty, I'm glad to pitch in!
And just off the top of my head: No more captains on firetrucks. A lieutenant is MORE than enough to manage three of these extraordinary test takers and physical specimens everyone is writing about.
Last, many fire departments have crews of three. Some even have two! Cleveland firetrucks often have just three when the fourth is left at the station to finish cooking dinner.
Think of the ambulance response times now, after we've reassigned all these caring, nurturing, world class, 500-lb. patient-lifting Cleveland fire-medics (and part-time nurses, PAs, cooks, car detailers, skidoo-waxers and yes "even a few doctors!")
Cleveland had a lean, responsive, efficient EMS organization until Commissioner Ed Eckart was tasked with destroying it. Now, he's done that.
Merging EMS and Fire in large cities is only good for one group: firefighters.
Read the Washington Times article cited by medicswife, about how the fire service is stuck in the 1950s and they take lousy care of people, and how the former DC chief regrets merging EMS and Fire there.
Merged services think of themselves as fire departments, not EMS services, even if they have 100 EMS calls for every fire.
Take Garfield Heights, since one of them brought it up. They have an EMS service that calls itself, and thinks of itself, as a fire department.
That's like calling their police department the Garfield Heights Bomb Squad, because every now and then they get a bomb call.
Notice the new name: Division of Fire, Rescue and EMS...the unit responsible for at least 75 percent of the runs is listed as an afterthought.
About EMS response times: Fire has three times as many units as EMS. It is not uncommon for fire units to do absolutely nothing in a 24 hour shift. If they do go out, it's generally a first responder call, and they're on-scene for minutes, while EMS has to care for, transport, turn over care, write a report, and restock.
But don't get too excited, Local 93...the city squeezed every drop of blood out of EMS. That stone is dry. Now your naps, your big meals and your staffing are under the microscope.
Maybe now the city can do what it's needed to do for a long time. Shut down idle engines, ladders and "rescues," and add more ambulances.
Meanwhile EMS units are closed all the time or moved across the city and no one cares. Here's an idea...let's have an EMS ambulance for every engine, ladder and "rescue" in the fire department, since everyone is so concerned about safety.
Fire doesn't "stabilize" anyone with their basic life support equipment. Cleveland has never adequately staffed its EMS service. It's very simple: The city needs more ambulances.
800 dollars for EMS services is a steal
Cleveland Fire is not understaffed. When the fire department is sending engines out on medical calls, it means the firefighters aren't that busy. You notice Cleveland Police, which has a large number of EMTs and medics among its officers, never demands to first respond to EMS calls; because they're busy enough as it is.
Every service, suburban, village, fire-based EMS has nuisance runs. Cleveland EMS is the busiest EMS provider in the state, so it has more than anyone else. Most fire calls don't really require a fire engine, that doesn't mean you stop sending them.
Cleveland EMS needs more ambulances, period.
The fire test! Imagine that: Are you able to sleep during the day? Are you willing to learn to cook? Can you smirk? The fire test, yeah, it was either CFD or an Ivy League law school for you brilliant test takers.
First, the non-union employees don't have any choice. Second, anyone who votes for concessions without a guarantee of no layoffs is an idiot. Third, taking concessions now when the city plans to hammer unions during the next round of contract talks doesn't make any sense.
I realize it's hard for a lot of people to understand, but police and EMS in Cleveland work hard for every penny and benefit they get, their salary isn't a handout, and they should never give up something for nothing.

The city cut the quick response EMS Delta units and replaced them with poorly trained first responders and plans to reduce the number of ambulances from as many as 22 two years ago to 15? That's like shutting down two battalions of firefighters!
What's going to happen when 15 ambulances are averaging 6,000 calls each per year?
Absolutely, combine EMS and fire. EMS should take over fire. I'm glad to see a fire employee finally come to the conclusion that scrappy EMS is on to something, doing so much more work than fire with 1/6th of the people.
There's so much waste in the fire department, fully staffed engines and ladders sitting idle for whole 24-hour shifts, four fire "rescues" and Tac-5 that rarely rescue anyone or take anyone to the hospital. Counting tens of thousands of EMS calls as fire run numbers, most of which take the fire department five minutes or less and involve no patient contact.
EMS already does calltaking for fire, already does a lot of the training for fire, and does the lion's share of the public safety work while firefighters are featured in the paper and on TV for their rib-making skills, the elaborate meals they prepare-- "from scratch!" their cornhole matches, their long naps during the day, their cheating on the paramedic functioning test. Yes, absolutely put EMS in charge of fire and put some discipline and efficiency back into the fire department.
EMS handles nearly 90,000 calls annually, most of which result in a transport to a hospital or a detailed assessment and computerized refusal report--with maybe 150 field medics. Fire claims 1,200 structure fires (a little more than 3 oven fires per day with a real one every once in awhile) out of what they say is 57,000 calls-- with more than 900 employees!
With EMS efficiency in place, fire could accomplish their job with hundreds fewer firefighters...eliminating 24 hour shifts, using dynamic stationing to move firetrucks around the city constantly to get more out of less, putting firefighters on the lower EMS payscale, and giving EMS medics an extra 36 hours of training and having them "first respond" to fires to make up for all the fire employees we won't need anymore. Most of them have firefighter certification already since it's so much easier to get than a paramedic card. We won't need six battalions anymore, we could close down costly firehouses and park trucks outside hospitals and police stations and nursing homes. We won't need 300 supervisors to manage 600 people!
Think of the reduced response times if firefighters were in their gear, in an idling truck sitting on a street corner ready to go like EMS, instead of playing pool, mixing cookie dough and detailing their personal cars on duty! Good idea, "Paramedic" Dorsey! Welcome to Cleveland EMS...you'll love working for Ed Eckart!

St George's Day: Will you be celebrating?
Posted: April 23, 2014|
ST George's Day may have fallen by the wayside in recent years but one man who plans to celebrate it today is Chaddesden resident Walter Randle, who is proudly flying this England flag in his garden.
Mr Randle has also written a poem to mark the occasion in which he calls on the Government to turn St George's Day into an annual public bank holiday.
St George was the patron saint of England. He is often identified with the country and English ideals of honour, bravery and gallantry - but he was not actually English at all.
He was born in Lydda, Roman Palestine, in 280 AD, was a soldier in the Roman army and was later venerated as a Christian martyr. He died in AD 303.

"I think point guard will be really important so I think the matchup between Marquis Teague and Kendall Marshall is going to be really important."
That's one of the keys on which ESPN's Jay Bilas focused on Wednesday, when talking about the UK-North Carolina showdown on "The Leach Report" radio show. Bilas worked the Tar Heels' upset loss to UNLV last Saturday and he is sure we'll see a much more focused UNC squad.
"A team like Kentucky is going to grab their attention. I don't think they were too worried about UNLV. They clearly weren't as intense as they will be stepping on the floor at Rupp Arena," said Bilas. "Ultimately, these games come down to shooting."
Vegas hurt UNC with 13 three-point baskets and Bilas recalled that Kentucky hit 12 in its Elite Eight win over the Heels last March. Ultimately, though, Bilas was hardly shocked to see Carolina get clipped. And he won't be surprised when it happens to Kentucky--and every other team--at some point.
"A Carolina fan came up to me and said 'do you think Carolina is going to run the table?' I didn't mean to be rude but I just started laughing. I said, 'no, I don't think anybody is going to run the table'," Bilas said. "I think it's ludicrous to expect these teams, in the age of the three-point shot and all the travel that they're doing, that they're going to be sharp (every time out)."
John Calipari suggested Kentucky might have the worst offense in the country in his halftime interview with ESPN's Shannon Spake last night. Ofcourse, it's not, but it's also a long way from where it will need to be in March.
Given that it's December 2, that's not such a big deal--especially since UK can rely on its defense. That's usually not a luxury North Carolina has because its calling card is its fast-paced offense.
"They weren't ever great last year. They became good enough (on defense)," observed Sporting News college basketball writer Mike DeCourcy earlier this week. "You don't have to be great defensively to win a championship. If you look at Carolina's '09 team, they weren't great (on defense). But you have to be good enough and (against UNLV last week), they were not that.
"They're always going to be an offensive-focused basketball team," he continued. "Most NCAA championships are won with offense first--at least they were until the last couple of years."
DeCourcy believes Kentucky's potential on defense is considerable.
"I think Kentucky is a team that can be great on defense, a really destructive defensive team. If they learn and really get focused on that end (of the court). I don't think this Carolina team do that but they can certainly be good enough to win a championship," said DeCourcy.
For Saturday, DeCourcy thinks point guard Marquis Teague's defense on his Carolina counterpart, Kendall Marshall, could be an edge for UK.
"No question, Marquis Teague is a player, with his build and his athleticism, he can make the league based on that (defense) first. This is going to be the best point guard he'll have faced. Offensively, he's been extraordinary. He (Marshall) really understands how to read the floor," noted DeCourcy. "And a lot of the problem with defending Kendall is you've got to get on him early, when he gets the outlet pass."
Senior linebacker Ronnie Sneed says he just knew his team could beat Tennessee, despite a 26-game losing streak.
"How did I know? I had faith in my team. I could see in the guys' eyes. We wanted to stop them from going to a bowl. If we can't go to a bowl, they can't go to a bowl," said Sneed.
"I've never been on a UK team that has had such a tight bond," Sneed added. "We're always willing to go out and lay it on the line for each other."

Sexual abuse is any sexual act where a person is forced to do something they don't want to. They may be forced with threats of physical violence or just enough fear to make them comply with their abuser's wishes. Sexual abuse of adults covers a range of inappropriate sexual behaviours that cause distress or harm to an individual. Sexual abuse can be actual or threatened and causes physical and emotional damage.
Sexual abuse can happen within a marriage. Marital rape is often unreported and unrecognised within a marriage even by those experiencing the abuse. Culturally, there is an assumption by many women that they have a 'duty' to satisfy their husband's or partner's sexual desires and demands even if they do not want to. But, rape is a crime, even if you know the person.
Sexual abuse within marriage may also cause the person experiencing the abuse to feel that it is their fault, or the attacker may act as if the abuse took place with the consent of the person being attacked, leading to confusion and guilt.
Sexual abuse includes:
· Rape
· Forcing someone into sexual activities against their will (for example when they say no, are ill or tired)
· Using objects violently during sex
· Forcing someone to have sex with another person when they do not wish to
· Sharing sexual stories or images about you without your consent
· Calling you sexual or derogatory names
· Withholding sex or affection
· Forcing someone to perform sexual acts in front of others when they do not want to
· Forcing someone to mimic pornography
· Forcing someone to be photographed or filmed during sex / whilst sexual abuse is taking place
· Forcing someone to watch or look at pornography.
If you are experiencing sexual abuse, or domestic abuse of any kind, contact the Wales Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0808 80 10 800.
The Rape Crisis Centre can help you to find your nearest centre.

WASHINGTON - - The White House says President Barack Obama will be joined by children who sent letters expressing concern about gun crimes when he announces proposals Wednesday to reduce gun violence.
The White House shared three such letters with The Associated Press.
Three days after 26 students and teachers were killed by a gunman at their Connecticut elementary school, an 8-year-old from Maryland asked Obama for "some changes in the laws with guns."
The boy named Grant wrote, "It's a free country but I recommend there needs (to) be a limit with guns."
Eleven-year-old Julia from the District of Columbia asked Obama "to try very hard to make guns not allowed. Not just for me, but for the whole United States."

A family of Morristown developers are missing nearly $400,000 from their businesses.
Monday a grand jury indicted Sally Ann Frazier, 40, for the crime. She was the bookkeeper for Mike Bunch Investments and Bunch Builders for three years.
The group owns the Holiday Inn Express in Morristown and the Sherwood Commons Shopping Center.
"It's a pretty successful business here and we just felt something was wrong," said Mike Bunch about the first time he noticed money missing.
He and his partner started investigating in 2009 when they discovered cash was missing. But they couldn't find any concrete evidence as to who was taking it.
"There were others principles involved [besides Frazier]. We had different people working here and you don't want to falsely accuse anybody," Bunch said.
By 2012, they found a paper trail from the Sherwood Shopping Center.
Morristown police got involved. They say documents show Frazier took the rent checks from the Shopping Center's business and deposited them into an account Bunch believed she had closed. Police then say she wrote checks to herself.
"It was very humiliating to be honest with you to see how it all happened; I just felt betrayed," he said. "We're grateful we caught it. We wish we would have caught it earlier."
Bunch said the $394,000 he lost was money he would have used to reinvest in the community. But he says he's trying to put it past him and get back to business as usual.
"Hopefully people can learn from what's happened," he said.
Frazier is in the Hamblen County Jail on $250,000 bond. She faces six counts of theft over $60,000 and one count of theft over $10,000.

PURCELL, OKLAHOMA — Messages to the future come in many forms. These are spread out on a table in the Purcell History Museum. Pam Ellis, Pam Stanlick, and Phyllis Wagner are still considering what to put in a time capsule for the year 2037. "Purcell is a great place. It's an awesome place," says Ellis of the overall message she wants to convey. "It's an awesome community."
Stuff that's definitely going in, a letter from the Purcell Hospital on the state of health care 2012, a $50 coupon for Rodney's Pizza, a local phone book, some aerial pictures, even a cell phone that belonged to Phyllis Wagner's grandson. "Unfortunately, it went through the wash," she chuckles.
Messages to our future selves can be difficult to write. What will strike us as unusual or quaint in a quarter century? As it happens, these ladies have a guide. On August 15, 2012 workers un-earthed a time capsule on the McClain County courthouse lawn. Back in 1987, as Purcell celebrated its Centennial, history museum workers buried that capsule bearing messages for 2012.
Included in the air sealed container; a newspaper, a bonnet made in 1887, snapshots, T-shirt, cookbook. Most of it was run-of-the-mill stuff, but those old pictures contained friends who'd since passed away. 1987 grocery prices caught their attention too. "Three cans for a dollar," laughs Pam Ellis.
Go back further in Purcell's long history and you can still see some of the messages early residents sent on to the future; pictures of how things were. B.C. Clarke had his original watch repair business here. Someone thought enough to keep a bench from the original McClain County courthouse, the museum even has pictures and ads from the old Sand Bar Saloon, a relic of Purcell's wild territorial past.
25 years isn't a very long time in human history but you just never know. What will we treasure about our past when the future comes? "We're keepers of these artifacts," says Ellis, "but we're also keepers of time."

Tiramilova (tiramisu and pavlova)
Two classic dishes - tiramisu and pavlova - are combined to create this very yummy layer cake. Ironically, both desserts are named after women, tiramisu apparently being the maiden name of a confectioner's apprentice in the recipe where the dessert is said to have originated. I made it once as a bit of a joke for friends, but it turned out so damn well that it has put in a number of appearances at my dinner parties.
|Eggs, whites only
|360 g
|Caster sugar
|3 tsp
|White vinegar
|1 Tbsp
|Cocoa powder
|250 g
|5 Tbsp
|400 ml
|100 g
|Chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to a 150 degC fan-bake setting. Draw 3 x 20cm diameter circles with ballpoint pen onto 3 sheets of non-stick baking and set aside.
- In a large clean bowl, whip the egg whites until they form peaks. While continuing to whip, gradually rain in the 360g caster sugar. Then whip a further 8-10 minutes until all the sugar granules have dissolved.
- Add the white vinegar, then fold with a metal spoon very gently until combined.
- Place the sheet of baking paper on an oven proof tray. Divide the mixture between the penned rings. Using a spatula or a palette knife, work the mix to the edges of the ring to create even, flat discs.
- Sift the cocoa evenly over all three layers. Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Turn the heat down to 100 degC and bake a further 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool to room temperature.
- Place the mascarpone and kahlua into a mixing bowl. Whisk together with an electric beater to combine. Add the cream and beat until firmly whipped.
- Removing the paper from the layers as you go, place the first cake layer upside down on a serving plate. Pile on half the cream and smooth over evenly leaving a centimeter gap at the edge. Sprinkle over half the chocolate chips.
- Repeat the process with the second layer. Top with final layer cocoa side up. Chill until serving time.

Marjorie White
|Marjorie White
|Marjorie Ann Guthrie
July 22, 1904
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
|August 21, 1935
(aged 31)
Hollywood, California, U.S.
|Years active
|Edwin J. Tierney (1924-1935; her death)
Marjorie White (July 22, 1904 – August 21, 1935) was a Canadian-born actress of stage and film.
Born Marjorie Ann Guthrie in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada,[1] she was the first-born child of a grain merchant born in Simcoe, Ontario. She entered show business at the age of eight or 10, as one of the Winnipeg Kiddies, a troupe of child performers who toured Canada and the United States. She danced and sang with the troupe until too old to continue, then at 17 in December 1921 went to San Francisco and joined Thelma Wolpa in amateur vaudeville comedy.
Teamed for a time with Thelma Wolpa as Wolpa and Guthrie, Little Bits of Everything, the duo act became 'The White Sisters' in New York City. Both women kept the name White after the act broke up. Thelma White later gained immortality as the blowsy Mae in Reefer Madness. According to the New York Times (August 11, 1924), Marjorie White married Eddie Tierney on August 10, 1924 in Greenwich, Connecticut.
She appeared on Broadway in several musicals between 1926 and 1929, when she and her husband moved to Hollywood. In accordance with studio tradition, four years were knocked off her birth date and she was supposedly born in 1908. Early biographies of James Cagney, the Marx Brothers and Bing Crosby typically gave birthdates occurring five years after the actual event.
She began getting parts in pictures, starting with leading roles in Happy Days (1929) and Sunny Side Up (1929). The same year she was required by executives of the Fox Film studio to lose four pounds in order to secure a role in The New Orleans Frolic. White was diminutive to begin with, weighing only 103 pounds and standing 4'10" tall. The part called for a woman who weighed less than 100 pounds.[2] She returned to Broadway for a musical, Hot-Cha, in 1932, but came back to Hollywood thereafter.
She will also be recognized by fans of "Charlie Chan" films in a prominent, if brief, uncredited role in the 1931 Fox film "The Black Camel" starring Sidney Toler and featuring Bela Lugosi and Robert Young in what may be his first leading role. Marjorie appears as a forward and rather sarcastic young woman among the usual group of suspects held waiting upon the conclusion of Charlie's investigation. She is noticeably somewhat... 'full figured' in this role bordering on being overweight for young film actresses of this era.
Today, perhaps her best-remembered films are the Fox feature films Just Imagine and New Movietone Follies of 1930 (both 1930), and the first Three Stooges short made at Columbia Pictures, Woman Haters (1934), in which she played the wife of Larry Fine, he needed to keep secret from his fellow Woman-Haters Club members. Woman Haters was her last film.
On August 20, 1935, White was a passenger in a car driven by Marlow M. Lovell on the Roosevelt Highway near the Bel Air Beach Club, in Santa Monica, California. It sideswiped the car of a couple who had been married only an hour before, and overturned. A coroner's jury decided that the reckless driving of Lovell was to blame for the accident.

The first rule is that there are no rules! After all, you should dress according to your own style and personality. However, if you need a little help or advice, here are a few tips on what you should wear:
- For a variety of pictures, have prepared two different outfits. A casual outfit for fun and relaxed photos and a dressy outfit for more elegant photos.
- Consider wearing rich colors and bright colors- they pop in photographs!
- Color coordinate your outfits if your doing a family or couple session. For example- gray and yellow, navy blue and gray, etc.
- Smile, laugh and have a good time! After all, a smile is the best thing you could wear! :)
- Avoid patterns, logos, branding, and busy designs- this may be distracting
- Avoid anything shiny or reflective
- Avoid wearing the same color head to toe, or matching outfits
- Avoid black or white- digital cameras can have difficulties with these colors presenting too much by way of contrast

Garbage and Recycling
Beginning November 1, 2010 the Village instituted a new Garbage and Recycling Program for our residential community. The new program will provide a basic level of service at no additional cost with optional "direct pay" services available from Waste Management.
The Village Board approved the change in service after reviewing the results of our recent Refuse and Recycling Survey conducted on our website. Village officials sought input from our residents regard- ing their current garbage and recycling habits, as well as their choice in maintaining unlimited garbage removal for an additional fee or instituting a basic level of service at no additional cost with optional services paid only by those households requiring them.
Approximately 84% of the households responding to the survey supported the idea of establishing a basic level of service rather than paying to continue unlimited garbage removal for the entire community.
The new basic level of service will include weekly pickup of unlimited recycling, one 35-gallon container of garbage (up to 50lbs), and one large item per household. This change represents a cut in spending that will enable the Village to continue providing residential garbage and recycling service without imposing an "across the board" cost increase to our residents. While there may be some households who will still require more garbage pickup than what is provided under the new plan, most will find they are able to greatly reduce their volume of garbage by familiarizing themselves with all the materials that can be recycled and maximizing their recycling efforts.
Keep in mind that with our unlimited recycling program you are not limited to using the 18 gallon square recycling container provided by Waste Management. To learn more about what materials can be recycled and what containers may be used, please see Recycling Guidelines.
If you exceed the 35-gallon container (50lb) garbage limit, options are available. See chart for more information regarding garbage options to determine which one best suits your needs.
By instituting the new Garbage and Recycling Program we also hope to achieve another Village goal widely supported by our survey respondents which is to increase our community's recycling efforts in support of a Green initiative to reduce Johnsburg's carbon footprint.
Q: Why is the Village changing its residential garbage and recycling program?
A: The Village simply cannot afford to keep paying for unlimited garbage pickup. Due to the ongoing financial crisis and continued decreases in revenues, Johnsburg, like other municipalities, businesses and individual homeowners, has been forced to make deep cuts in spending. Village wide reductions have been instituted effecting all departments, personnel and every area of Village operations. Rather than requiring all residents to begin paying for unlimited garbage pickup, the Village board voted to cut spending by providing a basic level of garbage service at no additional costs to residents.
Q: What does a basic level of garbage service include?
A: The basic level of service includes weekly pickup of unlimited recycling, one 35-gallon container of garbage (up to 50 lbs.), and one large item per household.
Q: What is included in the "one large item" per pickup?
A: "One large item" is considered to be an item such as a chair, couch, mattress or desk. It does not include the removal of appliances such as refrigerators, stoves, washers and dryers. Separate arrangements need to be made for the pickup of appliances and residents must pay to have these items removed. If you need to have an appliance removed, contact the Village Hall at 815-385-6023 for information regarding companies that can pickup and dispose of these items properly. You can also go to www.comed.com and click on the Home Savings link, and select Programs and Incentives or call Com Ed at 888-806-2273 to get more information regarding their appliance recycling program.
Q: What were the results from the garbage survey?
A: Approximately 84% of the survey respondents said they do NOT support the idea of invoicing all residents the additional cost to maintain unlimited residential garbage removal. (PDF)
Q: What do i do if i currently put out more than a 35-gallon container of garbage?
A: First, familiarize yourself with all the materials that can be recycled. Most households will find they are able to greatly reduce their volume of garbage by maximizing their recycling efforts. If you still find you require a higher level of garbage service than that provided by the Village, you can contract directly with Waste Management for the use of a 96-gallon container or purchase stickers from the Village to cover the cost of the occasional need for additional garbage pick up. You are not required to limit the amount of recyclables to the 18-gallon container. Unlimited recycling is included in the basic level of garbage service provided by the Village of Johnsburg.
Q: if i rent the 96-gallon container for garbage pickup but never fill the container, can i continue to rent the container at the current cost of $1.75 per month?
A: No. Continued rental of the 96-gallon garbage container will cost $8.00 per month. The increase in cost covers the additional garbage that could be placed in the container above the 35-gallon limit. If you like the convenience of a garbage container on wheels and do not have more than 35 gallons of garbage per week, we recommend that you purchase a 35 gallon garbage container on wheels from your local hardware or home improvement store.
If you have a 96-gallon container and do not wish to keep it, please contact Waste Management at 800-796-9696 to arrange for removal so that you are not billed $8.00 per month.
Q: How much are the garbage stickers and when do i use them?
A: Residents who occasionally have extra garbage can purchase stickers from the Village at a cost of $3.00 per sticker to cover the cost of an extra 35-gallon container or bag of garbage. Place the sticker on the extra container or bag and place it along side your other garbage for pickup.
Q: can i have more than one container for recyclables? i thought i could only recycle an amount that can be contained by the 18-gallon square container provided by Waste Management.
A: Yes, you can have multiple containers as large as a 35-gallon garbage container so long as they are clearly marked "recycling" and do not weigh more than 50 lbs. You are not required to limit the amount of recyclables to the 18-gallon container. Unlimited recycling is included in the basic level of garbage service provided by the Village. As an option, Waste Management will provide a 64-gallon recycling container on wheels that can be rented at a cost of $3.00 per month.
Q: Our waste hauler picks up both recyclables and garbage with the same truck. Are they really recycling our recyclable materials?
A: Yes. Waste Management utilizes a "One Pass" vehicle that enables them to pickup both recyclables and garbage with the same vehicle. Garbage and recyclable materials are separated from each other within the truck and are taken to a transfer station to be sorted and directed to the appropriate recycling facility or landfill.
Q: How do i subscribe to a yard waste program?
A: You can contact Waste Management at 800-796-9696 to learn more about and subscribe to a yard waste program.
Q: When is yard waste service provided?
A: Yard waste service is provided from April through November.
Q: Do i have to subscribe to a yard waste service even if i only occasionally have yard waste that needs to be picked up?
A: No, you can cover the cost of removing one 35 gallon can or "kraft" paper bag of yard waste by purchasing a $3.00 sticker at the Village Hall and placing the sticker on the can/ bag. Note: Stickers may only be used for yard waste pickup during the months of April through November.

In this course, Dennis Taylor shares easy-to-use database commands and methods for maintaining an Excel database. The course covers sorting, adding subtotals, auto-filtering, and using the Excel Advanced Filter feature and specialized database functions.
In this worksheet consisting of scientific data, in Column B we see codes. If you work with coding structures you know how strange they can be sometimes. It just so happens that based on the codes that we're seeing here, we need to find those that have B in the second position, like this one, and then later the letter Q. Now, here is a Q right behind it. There might be some others. Here is a Q that's a few characters removed. We want to find all situations where B is the second letter and then later there's a Q. So let's apply a filter to this data. And click the drop arrow for Code, Text Filters > Custom Filter.
Not equals, but begins with, anything, we don't care what it begins with, and like in our previous example, question mark, then B is the second character. The asterisk symbol means 0, 1, or many characters. So after the B, either immediately or one or two or three or four characters later, a Q is going to cover all those situations. I'll click OK and in our results we see B in the second position in all of these.
Here the Q occurs immediately after the B. Here it's about four characters away. Here it's immediately after. Here it's two characters away. So in all cases. So just seeing one example of how you might use question mark and asterisk and sometimes together like we saw here, you see some very unusual constructions. So you can imagine the occasional need, particularly with code numbers, to pull out some very unusual data by way of a filter.

Below is the poem entitled Ding Dong, Texas which was written by poet

Read Poems by
Jack Ellison
Met this gal from Ding Dong, Texas
Had warts all over her bum
I know because she showed me them
I got up and started to run
Her six foot twelve hulk of a brother
Said, "Boy! Best ya sits y'self down!"
I knew I should listen to brother Luke
The meanest damn dude in town!
So Anitabath, his ding-a-ling sister
Cozied up and quietly whispered
"How's if we have some fun in the hay?"
I quivered at having to kiss her!
I said okay as this ding-a-ling stripped
I cringed at her wart covered bum
Saw a chance and tried to scurry away
But Luke was on guard with a gun!
"Just where d'ya think yer goin', sonny?"
As he blocked my escape with his brawn
Just then I spotted a tiny opening
Took off like a skitterish young fawn!
I heard the ominous crack of his rifle
Felt around but could feel no pain
Got into my pick-up and took off like a shot
Never gone near Ding Dong again!
There's definitely a moral in this sad little tale
Don't hang out in a bar in Ding Dong
Less you're ready for some Texas hospitality
Say, "So long, sayonara, I'm gone"!

Submission + - AMD Fury X with Fiji and HBM Falls Behind GTX 980 Ti->
Vigile writes: Even with months of build up and hype, culminating last week during a pair of press conferences from E3 to announce it, the reviews and performance of the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X are finally available. Built on the new Fiji GPU, AMD's Fury X has 4,096 stream processors and a 4,096-bit memory bus that runs at just 500 MHz. That High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) implementation results in a total memory bandwidth of 512 GB/s, much higher than the GTX 980 Ti or R9 290X/390X. The Fury X is also the first single-GPU reference card to ship with an integrated self-contained water cooler, keeping the GPU at around 55C while gaming — a very impressive feat that no doubt adds to the GPU's measured efficiency. But in PC Perspective's testing, the Fury X isn't able overcome the performance of the GeForce GTX 980 Ti in more than a couple of specific tests, leaving NVIDIA's flagship as the leader in the clubhouse. So even though it's great to see AMD back in the saddle and competing in the high end space, this $650 graphics card needs a little more work to be a dominant competitor.

you know i once dreamed that i was seeing that chess.com video were kasparov sacced a pawn for the initiative and the guy who made that video would look down on my because i wouldnt apply it in my game and says:im hopeless.
I totally forgot about it,then i had a game recently saw a pawn sac for getting initiative or the bishop pair, i remembered the dream and did the pawn sac and computer says it was a complete blunder from me and i totally shouldnt have sacced the pawn because i got absolute no compensation for it.
Buy a cycle or kayak.
Go outside your house and use these at least 3-days per week.
yes i know but i could get addicted to that too but chess is safer
You have to blunder check every move. You say you use less than 10 minutes in your 30 minute games. Sit on your hands while you play and each time you are about to move your piece, commit to spending a full 20 seconds blunder checking. Do this even for your first moves! The point is that you need to get into the habit of blunder checking. If you do this for enough games, you'll start to notice that you're blunder checking without even thinking about it.
Play slower. Not everyone is a whiz who can calculate 5 moves deep in 10 seconds. Just give it a try. Fire up an online game at 1 day or more PER MOVE and then look at the darn board off and on many times. Use the analysis board provided to try the move visually then make the next move for your opponent (flip the board, this is IMPORTANT to most humans) to see if you made a mistake.
I am a very slow thinker. I look at a game in the forums to comment on and try to go fast and tell people they should hang their queen or something. I play a game in 15 per side and my rating is maybe 1400. Put me in blitz and its closer to 1000. But given 3 days to move, or really 1+ is sufficient, and I do pretty well against 1800 level players. The difference in my ability when I have (and TAKE) time to look at the board is astounding.
excercise and any mind game can make you a better person. he's right, putting aside the game, or any game

MADISON — Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced today that Yvette Harris, 50, of Milwaukee has been convicted of one count of Medicaid fraud and one count of theft after a five-day jury trial before the Honorable Jean A. DiMotto in Milwaukee County Circuit Court, Branch 7.
The convictions entered March 8, 2013, arise from Harris's employment as a registered nurse providing in-home health care to Medicaid recipients. Medicaid is a public health insurance program for the needy and disabled jointly funded by the state and federal governments.
According to the criminal complaint, Harris was interviewed by the mother of a young girl needing cares with a ventilator and for other complex medical needs. Harris was not hired to provide the services. Between June 2010 and April 2011, Harris billed the Wisconsin Medicaid program claiming to have provided cares to the child on 136 days for a total of $32,330.41.
A pre-sentence investigation was ordered and Harris is scheduled for sentencing on May 16. The convictions carry a total maximum penalty of six years, nine months imprisonment, and $35,000 in fines.
A copy of the criminal complaint is available at the following link. Criminal Complaint
The case was investigated and prosecuted by the Medicaid Fraud Control and Elder Abuse Unit of the Wisconsin Department of Justice.

supposedly got my invite on 11/26....but there was nothing from them in my email. But i'm in now...same handle, PaganCub
holla at a bitch!
I've been on it for a couple of weeks now and while I was really excited to get the invite, it's been a little underwhelming. There's TONS of stuff there, but MWK is a much friendlier community. Does that make sense?
I know there are a LOT of people here, but I actually feel like I know some of you (or at least, I'm getting to know you). I don't know if that'll happen over there. I'm not sure why... just "a feeling."
Of course, I'll keep my account there, and I'm following a few things and I DO like the idea. Maybe my perceptions will change with more familiarity.
Grace and Peace,
`tim <-- Perhaps the only thing I really DON'T like about Ravelry is that it doesn't let me put the ` in front of my name. I don't know why I care, it's just habit and it won't post anything containing that character... go figure :-)
What you said makes tons of sense to me. MWK is very personable. here if I have a question about a shawl I know to ask MMario or Kerry, if I need to alter a sweater grandcarriage is the person to run to., etc etc. I don't really talk to people there, I joined groups but don't really do anything in them. Mostly for me it's a great way to keep track of my stash and projects. Way better than the notebook I have been carrying around!
as for your `, it's like a little trademark :)
I got my invite yesterday too. I haven't had time to explore the site yet -- too many holiday projects on the needles right now, LOL, but I'm looking forward to some quality Ravelry time after the holidays.
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." -- Mahatma Gandhi
I'm still waiting, 5482 ahead of me. I'll see you there soon :-)
I got in about a week ago but haven't yet signed in on the site. Guess I haven't been caught up in the Ravelry buzz. I have all I can do to keep up with MWK -- which I love.
I signed up with Ravelry but am still waiting for my invite.........

Product description
"The highly anticipated third book in the critically acclaimed and bestselling series takes the art of being wimpy to a whole new level. "Let s face it: Greg Heffley will never change his wimpy ways. Somebody just needs to explain that to Greg s father. You see, Frank Heffley actually thinks he can get his son to toughen up, and he enlists Greg in organized sports and other manly endeavors. Of course, Greg is able to easily sidestep his father s efforts to change him. But when Greg s dad threatens to send him to military academy, Greg realizes he has to shape up . . . or get shipped out.Greg and his family and friends, who make the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid "books a must-read for middle school readers, are back and at their best in this hilarious new installment of the series, which is sure to please current fans while attracting new ones."Publishers Weekly"-1/19/2009: The third book in this genre-busting series is certain to enlarge Kinney s presence on the bestseller lists, where the previous titles have taken up residence for the past two years. Kinney s spot-on humor and winning formula of deadpan text set against cartoons are back in full force. This time, Greg starts off on New Year s Day (he resolves to help "other" people improve, telling his mother, I think you should work on chewing your potato chips more quietly ) and ends with summer vacation. As he fends off his father s attempts to make him more of a man (the threat of military school looms), Greg s hapless adventures include handing out anonymous valentines expressing his true feelings ( Dear James, You smell ), attempting to impress his classmate Holly and single-handedly wrecking his soccer team s perfect season. Kinney allows himself some insider humor as well, with Greg noting the racket children s book authors have going. All you have to do is make up a character with a snappy name, and then make sure the character learns a lesson at the end of the book. Greg, self-centered as ever, may be the exception proving that rule. Ages 812. "(Jan.)"""F&P level: T"

Customer reviews
By Ruth Hill 01 Dec 2013
My daughter just finished reading this book, and it has quickly become a favorite of hers. In her words, this is her review.
i really liked the fact that the writing looks like it is handwritten. i also like that it has a picture on each page. I preferred reading this book to watching TV or playing WII. I was so happy when my mom said I could read it!
I can honestly say that I love every word in this book-even the end! It had some of the best funny parts, and I love going back and re-reading my favorite parts.
