How To Find Happiness In A Job You Hate
You have a soul-sucking boss, awful co-workers, and a desk with no privacy. But you can still be happy! Here's how.
Here's a depressing statistic: A September 2013 report from research leader Gallup found that 70% of people are unengaged from or actually hate their jobs. What's even more depressing is that career coach Jessica Simko is surprised the number isn't higher. Founder of Cincinnati, Ohio's Conscious Career Intelligence, she speaks to people every day who hate their jobs. But finding that elusive "dream job" often lies in changing their own beliefs, she says.
Simko's "you're responsible for your own happiness" tone is unconventional, but also empowering. In her forthcoming book, Why Can't I Be Me? Understanding and Rising Above the Fake It 'Til You Make It Work Culture advises people to drop the "fake it 'til you make it" mentality and get real about what's making them unhappy. She says you can find happiness, even in a job you hate, here's how:
Get to the bottom of the problem.
How you react to people and situations is within your control, Simko says. You have to figure out why you get so upset about your boss asking you to stay late or your snippy co-worker's tone of voice. After all, you could just put in the extra hour or ignore her rudeness. Is there something deeper that these annoyances convey to you?
That's the stuff that's usually at the heart of being unhappy, Simko says. She acknowledges that, in some cases, people can be abusive and company cultures can be poisonous. However, that doesn't negate the fact that you choose how much they affect you. Until you change your perceptions and reactions to your circumstances, you're going to find the same issues no matter where you go, she adds.
"Once it's not personal to you everything changes. That's where you have to get in your mind so that way you're above all the games," she says.
Find things to be happy about.
Spend more time and energy focusing on the high points in your day and less on the drama and troublesome co-workers. If there truly aren't aspects of your job that make you happy, create them, Simko says. Weave in some of your own interests or create something to look forward to, such as starting a series of brown bag lunch meetings for your co-workers with speakers who interest you or a company-wide charitable effort that leaves you feeling good about yourself. If that's not your thing, ask your boss if you can be part of that exciting new company project. Or simply grab coffee with a co-worker whose company you enjoy. Find a daily highlight, she says.
Learn effective communication and confrontation skills.
Sometimes, people make us angry or do things that aren't fair. That's when the ability to discuss issues calmly and rationally can be invaluable, Simko says. Often the people around you might not even realize that they've done something to upset you. Being able to calmly express yourself can make you feel better and can help co-workers understand you. Simko says, for many people, that kind of direct communication is hard, especially when it runs the risk of making others angry. But, the more you practice speaking your mind, it's possible to get comfortable with it over time and be able to speak your mind more freely.
Take back control.
Simko says people often hate their jobs because they feel stuck. The key to getting "unstuck" is to feel like you have a choice, she says. The minute you say to yourself, 'I can't' in response to a situation that makes you unhappy, you need to begin questioning whether it's really true. Sure, you need a paycheck and health insurance. But that doesn't necessarily mean you have to stay in this job forever. You may choose to take a night course to train for the job you really want or begin updating your resume. What is it that is making you feel stuck? Find the answer and begin taking action to restore your choices, she says.

People that hate their jobs do so because their career has become their life. It is all they think about while they are at home or off for the day. It is all they talk about because they have nothing else going on. Do something you love every day and do nothing but that. It may take a week or it may take three years, eventually you will hate it. If you are one of these people and your biggest stress in life is worrying about getting lay'd off do yourself and everyone around you a favor, find a hobby that you love outside of work to relieve that stress and think "hey if I get laid off I have enough saved to allow me to do this every day for three months while I look for a new job" or end it. You are probably the guy or girl that people cause people to sigh with relief when you take a sick day. You are a disease, as you make yourself and everyone around you sick every day you show your face.
I was not been able to decide. Then I came across an awesome app. To assess your current job, it is something awesome. I tried and it helped me to quit my current job and make me a happy man. Try it if you want http://tinyurl.com/orjgvgf
The greatest of all the tragic shit - Almost all people settle on whatever comes their way just to make a buck and maintain their sense of security. So what is to analyze..? Happiness at work.. You are not what you do between 9-5 unless you deem it so. After 5 is where the "you" is. The looking within, listening for the call to adventure and steppin to your beat, tearing that little security blanky off and following a calling, is just too much for many. Life is over quickly-slay it. While you're here, do awesome shit. Maybe it's helping people, climbing mountains, surfing, starting a business or just writing. Doesnt matter. Whatever it is, make a decision to find your passion: whether a career, hobby or random stuff in awesomeness, spend as much time as possible doing the shit you love.
Great topic. I think many people have been in this situation one time or another. I would add the classic "Fake it until you make it". If you constantly tell yourself you hate a job then it will become an even bigger problem. Do not share your negativity with your coworkers and peers. It will turn a bad situation into an even more toxic environment. Give yourself a time period to accept where you are and be thankful for it. If you have given it all of your heart and positive energy starting working on an exit strategy.
I would add "get a life outside of work", make a contribution in your community, and learn detachment skills.
Cedricj.wordpress.com Inspiring leaders to inspire others
I have to respectfully disagree with Rob Pawlikowski. You can't switch off your right brain with logic. There's a part of you that feels stuck and hates your job, so acknowledge that part of you, even if you don't think it's acting rationally. If you quash your feelings, they'll only rise up to bite you in the butt later. Feelings and logic can work together to get you unstuck, but you have to take the first step: Acknowledging.
I suggest changing the statement "Once it's not personal to you..." Of course it's personal to me - my job is part of my identity. I would instead say, "Once you change the approach from emotional to rational, you have a chance to fix the unrewarding processes.
Rob, what if you lose your job in a layoff? It happens all the time. Consider the possibility that your job should not be a part of your identity. Otherwise, you are allowing other people to take part of your identity away from you at their whim. It's about learning to think different.

Cardozo Law School, Career Alternatives, Job Searches, Law School Deans, Law Schools
The most important person in law school administration is the dean. That makes sense. He or she makes policy and is in charge of the academic and financial footing for the entire school.
But who is the second most-important administrator? The dean of students? The head financial aid officer? I say that the second most-important administrative position on a law school campus is held by the career services dean.
Sure, a lot of schools don't think that way. And even most law students act like the career services people should be glorified secretaries, setting up appointments and staying out of the way.
But in this economy, if you can't get a job, what was the point of going to law school? And right now there are far too many law students who can't secure employment. Most of a law school's administration is concerned with roping in the next herd of
lemmings sheep students. But the career services dean is forced to think about what will happen to kids after they graduate. If career services deans are doing their jobs well, they are some of the most important people on campus.
And when a person who holds such a crucial position leaves to do something that makes you say "what," it really makes you wonder if current law students have any chance at getting the kind of professional placement help they desperately need….
At Cardozo Law, the students received word that their career services dean is leaving to pursue an unorthodox path. Here's the email:
Dear Students:
I am writing to let you know that I have decided to retire from my position as Associate Dean of Career Services. The past seven plus years here at Cardozo have been an amazing experience for me. I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to serve such a talented group of students and to work with my colleagues to build programs to help strengthen the law school. I have been so impressed by the intellect, integrity, collegiality, and work ethic of the students with whom I have interacted over the years. I see in each of you the capacity to make a unique and valuable contribution to society and look forward to hearing about your accomplishments in the years to come. It has been an honor to work with such a committed administration and faculty under the strong leadership of Dean Diller and former Dean Rudenstine.
As many of you know, yoga has been a longstanding pursuit of mine and I have been teaching it in various venues over the past few years. After much reflection, I have decided that I am ready to explore new independent projects that merge my yoga and career counseling experience, including: developing yoga and relaxation programs targeted to law students and lawyers; presenting career-related workshops; and providing individualized career counseling on a consulting basis. So I hope to see you around campus in the future!
My plan is to continue to function in my current role through Early Interview Week (August 8-12) so that I can help to ensure a smooth transition with my successor. I wish you much success and personal happiness in the years to come and hope to see many of you in the near future.
With warmest regards,
Arthur Fama
From legal career services to yoga consultant? That's a stretch. (Puns like that don't happen unintentionally, fellas.)
I wish this guy the best of luck. I mean, check out his career trajectory. He used to be of counsel at Skadden, then career services at Cardozo, and now yoga. That sounds like a full life.
Hopefully Fama will encounter great success in merging yoga and law. Lat tells me that at this year's NALP conference, Fama's morning yoga lessons were a huge hit, well-attended and raved about by participants.
But if you are a Cardozo student, do you want a yoga instructor trying to help you through the most difficult legal economy in decades? Or do you want someone more ruthless and bad-ass?
Maybe you want a ninja. Or maybe a career services dean who spends his free time snooping through the trash of Biglaw hiring partners, in the hope of finding something that can be used to blackmail them into hiring one more Cardozo student.
Really, in this economy, schools don't need career services deans who are "nice"; they need CSO staffers who have proven skills in pimping hos (and who can fill in as amateur psychologists in a pinch).
Let's hope that the next career services dean at Cardozo got his or her start at the Bunny Ranch — or some other establishment that teaches people how to represent America's jobless law students.

Glamour Guide > Prom > Prom Hair Styles 2014
Prom Hair Styles 2014
For a night as big as Prom 2014, you want to be glam from head to toe.
Where to start? Select a hair style designed to flatter the fashion personality of your Prom dress. Are you wearing a black lace sheath dress with a veiled skirt. For a look as Gothic as that, opt for a hair-do that is sleek, simple and dramatic. Wearing a Cinderella style ball gown? Opt for a softer hairdo that is very girly like loose waves or soft curls.
Hair style should compliment more than your dress. Your mane event should also be coordinated with your Prom accessories, including jewelry and shoes.
Wearing a plus size Prom dress. Steer clear of hair styles that pile on extra volume on the crown of your head. That will only make you appear bigger!
Keep your eye on the red carpet for hot hairstyles that work for any length hair. The mane event spotted on Hollywood stars always turns heads! For a perfect crowning touch, consider a tiara if you're for the Princess look in a ball gown with a full skirt.
Ride the waves
- Sexy, sweet look created when you tousle your locks.
- Perfect if you have curly hair but first blow dry straight
- Forget this hair style for thin or super fine hair
Party tails
- Fancy ponytails dress up any Prom hair up do
- Works only on hair that reaches your shoulders or longer
- Short hair? Try extensions to get this look
Pin Up Girl
- Half the hair gets pinned up and the other half down.
- Ideal when you don't know whether you want your hair down or you want a hair up do for Prom.
- Keeps the eye drawn to your face
Forehead fringe
- Bangs with a wispy and very updated look
- Reserved for hair that's straight
- Small facial features: watch that bangs don't overwhelm your face
Bob comes back
- Sassy, sharp bob hair cut revived from the 1960s
- Works wonders on short hair for Prom
- Best saved for straight hair or use a Sedu

Last week, family and friends of Hadiya Pendleton came together to keep the memories of their daughter alive.
Hadiya was 15-years-old when she was gunned down in a park not far from King College Prep High School. Two alleged gang-bangers were quickly rounded up and charged.
Because the shooting happened mere blocks from President Barack Obama's Chicago home in the Kenwood-Oakland Community, the Hadiya shooting became a national story that focused a harsh spotlight on the city's gun violence.
"Instead of being lost in the unfortunately never-ending headlines of Chicago violence, our daughter quickly became the picture of our country's gun violence problem," wrote Cleopatra Cowley-Pendleton and Nathaniel Pendleton in an Op-Ed piece published in the Chicago Tribune on Wednesday, the one-year anniversary of the girl's death.
For many, the teen's death was terrifying because it brought the gun violence closer to their own backyards.
But while Hadiya's death is a painful example of the immense talent that is lost when young people are killed, she is not the face of Chicago's gun victims. The face of Chicago's gun violence continues to be black and male.
The same year Hadiya was murdered, more than 100 young people under age 20 also were killed. Although a recent report found shooting incidents involving victims 16 and younger last year dropped 40 percent over 2012, such reports are of little comfort to those who have lost loved ones to gun violence.
It is my hope that every parent who has suffered this terrible loss find the support they need to cope with their grief.
To that end, these are the other teens killed in 2013. They should be remembered as well:

I enjoyed this chocolatey and very moist cake with a serving of fruit yogurt. I think the oil can be reduced by one tablespoon; however, the nutritional information is calculated for the recipe as given here.
A personal take on the lemon bars recipe by Spark People member Curves_N_Curls (http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-det

The spinanch filling for this tart can also be prepared and baked without the crust, saving you a lot of preparation (cooling and baking) time and some calories as well. Just ignore the first five ingredients and start at the *To make the spinach filling* paragraph.
Adapted from a recipe in "200 Veggie Feasts", Louise Pickford
Nutritional information given for recipe using Light Flora margarine
This dish isn't exactly quick to prepare and make, but is well worth the effort. At 130 Cal. per serving, this low-fat, low-carb dish is very delicious and filling, and nutritious! - best served with brown rice.
Making this involves three different processes: cooking the spinach, preparing the tomato sauce, and preparing the cream sauce (which involves broiling a bell pepper). In the instructions I've described the preperation method in the order that works best for me; you can adapt depending on the size of your kitchen, utensils, etc. by e.g. cutting and chopping all fresh ingredients ahead.


text: Yes Babs it is. If you cannot see that they CHEATED to achieve a result that they were not being PROVIDED the RESOURCES to achieve, then yes it is a racial issue. What area is the school located in? What is their tax base like? How much is allotted for learning materials? Can you answer me that? They cheated, they were WRONG. Flat our period WRONG. They should have let the chips fall where they may and then went before the School Superintendent and told them what they needed in order to get these children on level or close to it. The other thing is parents need to understand that you CANNOT send your children to school speaking slang, that is NOT how the outside world works. When you see them mangling the English language it makes your head and heart hurt for them. I am a black woman with 3 children. All have gone to school, all know how and when to speak to people and even as adults, if I hear them mangle a word I keep saying what did you say until they get it right. I want to see and educated and well rounded populace. Not a pipeline to the prison system. And if you check to story in florida, they recently admitted that is what they had been doing and that they were going to stop it.

This afternoon I changed my 17t cog for a 19t cog.
With a 42t chainring and 700X23 tires, that gives me 58.1 gear inches.
For those not familiar with gear inches, the phrase gear inches refers to the equivalent amount of effort a Penny Farthing Big Wheel would have if it had a Big Wheel diameter of however many inches.
My fixed gear bike at 58.1 gear inches requires as much effort to pedal as a Penny Farthing Big Wheel having a Big Wheel diameter of 58.1 inches.
Most factory fixed gear bikes come with a 16t cog and a 48t chainring, and, with the typical 700X23c tires, this comes out to 78.8 gear inches.
I have comfortably ridden as high as 82 gear inches, but at 82 gear inches I had no downhill control.
I rode at 72 gear inches for quite awhile, and consider this the all around best set up for my riding area.
However, since I like to experiment and learn, I have recently gone down to 64.9 gear inches, had a great time, and improved my spin dramatically.
So, today I went for a short ride at 58.1 gear inches and found it illuminating.
It makes my spin transparent.
Further, I find the amount of control and improved handling profound (back pedaling tightens a turn, forward pedaling widens a turn).
I think I could safely ride without a brake at 58.1 gear inches.
I suppose eventually I'll go back up to 72 gear inches, but I think I'll stay here awhile and see what else I can learn.

Mumbai, India (AP) India is demanding that the U.N. Security Council declare a Pakistan-based Islamic charity a terrorist group.
India says the charity is really just a front for the militant organization being blamed for the attacks in Mumbai, India, last month. A top diplomat adds Pakistan must take "urgent steps to stop their functioning."
The accused charity came into creation after the militant group it's allegedly a front for was banned by Pakistan. The charity denies any association with the militants.
India's appeal comes as Pakistan acknowledged the arrests of two men reportedly wanted by India in connection with the attacks.
Later this week, the U.S. is expected to send Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte to New Delhi.

Doha Climate Conference
Reading the news about the Doha Climate Change Conference and thinking about the idea of a seven degree temperature rise and what a seven degree rise by 2060 would mean, I feel so hopeless. It's nuts that so many people don't seem to want to do anything about this issue.

Worse than apathy the climate change is being passive aggressively promoted among the folks who benefit from their expansion of oil territories. A sneaky game of chess. And sadly we are pawns.

Of course Emily's right, the oil companies rule the planet they are so busily destroying, sawing off the limb, fouling the nest -- with, of course, "our" brainlessly normative automatonoid collusion.
But just wondering... perhaps even worse than the apathy is the imitating all the other properly socialized pawns by jumping in the car to go wherever, when instead one could walk, stay home or simply twiddle one's thumbs in place, thus doing one's tiny wee bit to save what's left of a planet trapped under a noxious and soon-to-be fatal veil of greenhouse gases.
Then again, one could go the other way and just jump on a plane to go wherever else, thus accelerating the catastrophe.
Are these ideas too simplistic, or is it simply a massive contagion of denial that convinces everybody it's the other guy's fault, I'm special, I should get a pass?
Must common sense, in our bright administered dying world, always require a committee or a conference to get it kick-started?

I'm actually happy to see someone (you) that actually seems to feel the same rising sense of urgency about the impending catastrophe; I wrote a tiny little poem after reading the World Bank report (which was devasting)and the very progressive, intelligent, educated group that I shared it with did not understand what it was about (and this was not just because the poem was slightly obtuse); I had to explain the dangers of methane...it feels a bit like a ride on a planetary Titanic, with a few of the passengers running around on the deck yelling "Iceberg, Iceberg" while the rest are playing shuffleboard and poker, not noticing the group of boys playing soccer with a chunk of ice...

As a kid I always considered this a swell season to go for a ride. The snow, the lights, grandmother's house & c.
To paraphrase somebody, the sinking of the planetary Titanic wasn't built in a day.
Nor is it even our private Anglo party boat any more.
But at least there are very few icebergs left capable of doing any great damage, what with the current accelerated rate of breaking and calving.

John Hancock Observatory
John Hancock Observatory

Standing inside of the John Hancock Observatory, visitors can enjoy an awe-inspiring 360-degree view of four states- seeing up to 80 miles away on a clear day. It's no wonder The Chicago Tribune named it "one of the top five places for pictures in Chicago." The John Hancock Observatory was also named as a Chicago Concierge Favorite.
What to do at the John Hancock Observatory
Along with the amazing view, guests can learn of various city landmarks through the free multimedia sky tour. Narrated by actor David Schwimmer, this information session is available in seven languages (English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin and Spanish) and also comes in a kid-friendly version. And if you'd like a closer look than the naked eye, check out one of the interactive telescopes for a day, night or live view that was the first of its kind in the U.S.
Dining at the John Hancock Observatory
If all of this sightseeing is making you hungry, come grab a bite at Lavazza Espression café, also known as Chicago's highest café. Designed by three-star Michelin chef Ferran Adrià, visitors can enjoy the award-winning ambience along with salads, sandwiches and unique Italian coffees that are like eating "coffee clouds." The John Hancock Observatory also offers seasonal events, like Skating in the Sky and front row views for Navy Pier's summer fireworks and the Chicago Air and Water Show.

Often, we receive questions that are not complex enough to devote to an entire column, so this week we thought we'd answer a group of these smaller ones.
Question:We live in a 555-unit HOA community in Hobe Sound. Our board says that we have to replace our trees and shrubs when they die or look run-down.
Our by-laws read, "The association shall maintain the lawn, landscaping materials and irrigation system as installed by the Developer on each lot." So why are we paying the landscape company?
Answer: Maintaining the lawn and landscaping is not necessarily the same as replacing it in perpetuity. Without reading your documents in full and determining whether the association has some replacement responsibility, we would argue that, if landscaping or the lawn dies because of improper maintenance, replacing it would be the association's responsibility, but if plants die simply due to natural lifespan, replacing those plants would likely fall on the homeowner, as suggested by your board.
So why does it say "as installed by the Developer on each lot?" Usually that language is intended to protect the association if an owner installs a plant, or a type of grass, that requires an unusual amount of maintenance. That is, if an owner installs a finicky fruit tree, it's not the association's responsibility to care for it.
Question:I am president of a cooperative community. How closely do the laws in your article concerning strict enforcement of condo laws relate to co-op laws?
Answer:The principles of selective enforcement and waiver apply the same to co-ops as they do to condos and HOAs.
Question:Is anyone permitted to attend a condo monthly meeting or board meeting, even if they are not a condo owner or tenant? We are a community of villas and condos, and villa owners have their own homeowner's association. Can villa owners attend our condo meetings?
Only members of the association must be allowed to attend board meetings. Usually, the "members" of an association are the unit owners (it would be specified in your documents). Board meetings need not be open to anyone but the members - not tenants, not owners in a neighboring community, and not even family members of an owner (unless such a person were to have power of attorney, and they were thereby the legal representative of the owner). While some boards are not particularly strict about these policies, it is probably good corporate practice to prevent non-members from attending board meetings, for reasons of confidentiality and corporate privilege. Certain things that may be said openly in front of association members should not be revealed to non-members (delinquency information being the most obvious example).
Question:I own a condo on the second floor. Unfortunately, I am sandwiched between two smokers - one an owner and one a renter. Since it is cooler and I have my sliders open, their smoke permeates my condo - in fact, this happens even if I have my sliders closed. I am allergic to cigarette smoke. Do I have any legal recourse? My COA tells me no.
Answer:Many courts have ruled that cigarette smoke can be a nuisance-an activity that interferes with the quiet enjoyment of real property. Nuisance complaints are very fact-specific, but you may very well have legal recourse against the offending residents, especially if there is an anti-nuisance provision in your documents, and particularly if the smell exists in your unit with the doors closed.
Question:If a condo association forecloses on a unit for unpaid association dues, but the bank doesn't, and if the bank then chooses at a later date to foreclose, does the association get paid by the bank? If legal fees are included in the amount the association paid for the foreclosed property, would the bank have to pay that also when they foreclose on the property?
Answer: Once an association has foreclosed on a unit, it may no longer recover the past-due maintenance, or any costs or fees, from a future owner, even if that future owner is a bank that holds a lien on the unit. The association may arguably collect a deficiency from the former owner, however.
When an association forecloses on a property subject to a superior bank lien, it takes ownership knowing that the bank might ultimately foreclose on its lien, leaving the association without recourse.

The city of Pensacola trying to suck millions of dollars from the pockets of The Fish House restaurant would be the stuff of a bad mafia movie if it weren't such a sorry spectacle.
On Monday, city officials, local restaurateur Collier Merrill and fellow businessman Ray Russenberger are scheduled to meet to discuss the terms of a series of leases the men signed. City officials say the fees due from these leases were underpaid and they want the money ... or else. Merrill estimates that could be as much as $5 million.
This is a story of leases upon leases upon leases and to make sense of it all, you have to ...

Final public hearing for Swedish development agreement is Nov. 18
October 29, 2013
By Peter Clark
A final public hearing concerning the adoption of a new development agreement for Swedish Hospital will take place at the Nov. 18 City Council meeting.
The new development agreement would remove the 28-acre property from the Issaquah Highlands Development agreement with Port Blakely and allow a longer time line for the owner to build additional healthcare buildings on the adjacent lot.
"Swedish plans to be the property owner for a very long time, here," Economic Development Director Keith Niven said in a presentation before the first public hearing Oct. 21. "And having Port Blakely involved in that doesn't make a lot of sense."
Since April, the city has worked with executives from Swedish to form a comprehensive new agreement before the current one expires. In negotiations, Niven said the company has made a commitment to contribute to transit and sustainability for the area.
The only speaker in the first public hearing was Michael Robison, representing Swedish Hospital, who has been involved in crafting a draft development agreement.
"We really appreciate the work your staff has put into this," Robinson said. "We've got a development agreement we think will serve us well."
The Nov. 18 meeting will begin at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers at 135 E. Sunset Way.

Slinger Must Live!!!
Just saw this melancholy tale of a He-Man character that never was over on THEBLOG WEEMADE. Slinger (pictured) was a new He-Man character Brian came up with when he was seven years old. He was sure Mattel would go for his idea, and from the sounds of things, he wasn't looking for much more from the deal that some playground kudos from his peers.
Unfortunately for Brian, Mattel responded with a letter telling him that for legal reasons they couldn't accept his idea, and had to place the blueprint for Slinger in a special box where it would be sealed for all time, in what I imagine was a warehouse full of secrets like the one at the end of Raiders of The Lost Ark.
Brian was devastated, and twenty years later, it's clear Mattel are still struggling with monetizing user-generated content. But why does this have to be the end for Slinger? I say Slinger must live. I say Slinger must shine as a beacon of user-generated hope to seven year olds everywhere. Anonymous is great and everything, but user-generated content needs another hero. Slinger is not part of the He-Man franchise, so there is no reason why he can't be 3-D printed vinyl toys, snarky t-shirts and the Reddit alien before the week is out (unless Brian has other plans for him). Slinger can be bigger than He-Man! With that in mind, I created a new version of Slinger:
If any toy companies would like more information on licensing this new version of Slinger, click here.
He may not look like much, but it's the best my cacky-fingered hands can do with paint.net in ten minutes. Do your bit for Slinger too, because unless he survives, the terrorists have already won.

Wow, this is bringing some memories back. I designed and programmed a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle video game in HyperCard when I was 13, and I sent a letter to their licensing company, only to get a letter back saying they had an exclusive deal with Konami.
I also sent a letter to Lego asking for a device that could separate Lego bocks that were hard to separate, complete with a diagram. I can't remember what the response was, but 25 years later, I know that Lego has done a lot to engage with customers.
The lesson learned: don't ask for permission, just be a pirate and the market will answer. Let's see what we can do with Slinger!

The Montana Immigrant Justice Alliance ("MIJA") is committed to assisting immigrants in Montana who need legal help. While immigration matters can carry serious consequences, including detention and removal, our laws do not provide for court-appointed attorneys to help immigrants navigate our complex immigration system. One of our goals is to help immigrants who are unable to pay for legal services secure free or low-cost assistance to help them make these difficult decisions. We do not provide direct legal representation, but we can offer assistance and referrals to partners who may be able to represent you.
Our President, Shahid Haque-Hausrath, is the Managing Attorney of the Border Crossing Law Firm, P.C. and volunteers to provide free legal services to immigrants. Click here for more information on his handling of pro bono cases, and the immigration services he offers.
However, our President's resources are limited and there are many immigrants in need of help. The success of our organization depends upon the willingness of additional volunteers to donate their time for the cause. If you are an attorney, law student, or volunteer who is interested in learning more about how you can help, please contact us today. We may be able to provide supervision and training to help you get started.

Grabbers (2012) – Directed by Jon Wright – Starring Richard Coyle, Ruth Bradley, Russell Tovey, Bronagh Gallagher, Lalor Roddy, David Pearse, and Ned Dennehy.
More than anything, Netflix exists for me to find movies like GRABBERS.
I'm in the process of putting together my next book of reviews (here's the last one), which will be called SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY MOVIES, 2011-2013. My goal is to be as realistically complete as possible. There's no way I can watch and review everything from everywhere without having a ridiculously big book (right now, I'm at 50 reviews totaling about 85,000 words, with at least another 20 reviews to do). My focus has largely been on A-movies and quality B-movies instead of every old B- and Z-movies that gets released (I'm planning to release another book at some point focusing on them), and when I hit play on GRABBERS this afternoon, I had thought it would be more in line for the latter than the former based on everything I knew about it (which amounted to the Netflix cover and description).
Instead, what I got was a rather perfect 94 minutes of a really enjoyable horror-comedy that manages to make a completely silly premise come off as believable. The script (by Kevin Lehane) is sharply written and the acting and directing remind me of the best of the old Tom Baker Doctor Who – the premise might seem silly but if you play it serious, the audience will follow.
Irish Garda Lisa Nolan (Ruth Bradley) is a super serious young cop who's decided to spend her two weeks vacation filling in on a small island. The only other cop is Ciarán O'Shea (Richard Coyle), who is perpetually either drunk, hungover, or getting drunk. Of course, they dislike each other at first, and of course, they end up together in the end. Conventions of time force the relationship to escalate quicker than it should, but even though the film has to press fast forward on O'Shea's interest in Lisa, once we get there, the evolution of his feelings for her are played beautifully. There's the awkward drunken semi-confession/statement of interest, the understated jealousy of, and feelings of inferiority towards the young Dr. Smith (Russell Tovey), and his over-protectiveness towards her. Over the course of the film, Coyle (who is excellent here) makes me believe in his re-awakening as a person and a cop.
There's nothing overly complex about it. Because he's always drunk at the start of the film and Lisa isn't, you can certainly see it coming that at some point he's going to be the sober one and she's going to be the drunk one, by Lehane and director Jon Wright doing a great job of inverting those roles and those character arcs.
Things start to get weird on the island when a group of pilot whales ends up dead on the shore. We know what the characters don't – that a meteor crashed into the ocean and bad things started happening – but the film quickly catches the characters up to speed. What's nice is that before they meet one of the monsters that experienced drunk Declan Cooney (Ned Dennehy) discovers and names "grabbers," the film establishes its dramatic foundations. During this opening act, it allows us to get comfortable with O'Shea and Nolan so we're ready to ride along with them through the craziness.
The most impressive aspect of GRABBERS is how well the filmmakers balance the drama, the horror, and the comedy. GRABBERS is not a particularly scary movie – it's horror is firmly rooted in the giant 1950s monster genre – nor is it particularly hilarious. Horror comedies often favor one side over the other, and that side is almost always the comedic, because comedy doesn't cost money. Big giant tentacle monsters do cost money, and if filmmakers preference the silliness, it allows them and the audience to have a big, giant wink over the less-than-stellar CGI.
With GRABBERS, though, I get the sense that this is much more a dramedy than a horror comedy. I don't mean that it's a show where people alternate weeping and laughing, but rather than it's obvious the filmmakers wanted to make a good movie first and foremost. The CGI is actually really well done, and there's plenty of moments to make you giggle and not pretend we're watching SILAS MARNER WITH A MONSTER, but with Coyle and Nolan at the center, and Smith lying just beyond that point, GRABBERS is mostly a film about a drunk who gets better, a straight edge who loosens up, and a monster than can't kill anyone if they're drunk.
Yeah, the premise of GRABBERS is ridiculously awesome. The creatures need two things to survive: water and blood. They can get the water from the ocean and from the rain, but they need living things for blood. It's curious as to why they prefer humans to whales, given how much larger whales are, but that would be a different kind of movie. As it is, the monsters come ashore and start attacking people, only they can't kill the really drunk ones because that blood has been poisoned with beer and liquor.
Not wanting to alert the town to the danger of an oceanic monster coming ashore to eat them (a monster, I might add, that looks very much like one of the monsters I created for HARPSICHORD AND THE WORMHOLE WITCHES, so I was instantly on board with how awesome this Grabber was), O'Shea interrupts church service to attempt to convince the townsfolk to head to Maher's Pub for a big party. The idea is to get everyone drunk on the sly, and it's a really fun and clever twist to the formula. The church folk aren't really feeling it until O'Shea announces all the drinks are on the house.
The small group of confidants proceed to get everyone drunk as they watch out for the creature and its offspring, and there's plenty of action and jumping and falling until we get to the big, explosive finish that reminded me of 1 part Trick 'r Treat, 1 part Aliens.
I won't overstate things and argue that GRABBERS is as good as either of those two movies, but it's not that far away, either. GRABBERS is the kind of movie that always replenishes my faith in cinema – it's a smart movie with a good premise, it's got professionals contributing all across the board, and it wants to be a good film. It wants you to take it seriously enough that it's not just a cheap laugh. Movies like GRABBERS and Attack the Block don't have a Hollywood budget, but they more than make up for that with a heaving helping of smarts and professionalism.
If you've been kicking around the Anxiety for any length of time, you know that I like to call what I do "reactions" instead of "reviews" because I watch a movie and then write about the parts that strike me as worth talking about. I do not write these reactions/reviews to try and get you to see or not see a movie. I don't like it when people read my review and then say, "Sorry, I'm going to see it, anyway." Awesome. I'm not trying to save you money by doing this, I'm trying to give you my side of the conversation. Every so often, though, an overlooked or smaller movie comes along (like Trick 'rTreat, Attack the Block, Bounty Killer) that I will trumpet a bit.
GRABBERS is one of those movies. Go hit play on the Netflix; this is a good way to spend 94 minutes.

Press Release: Florida State University
Eric J. Barron
June 5, 2013
Effective today, Florida State University Athletics Director Randy Spetman will take on a new role as senior advisor to the Athletics Department.
During his five-year tenure, Randy established an enviable record for Florida State Athletics and has done so with the highest level of integrity and commitment.
I am pleased, therefore, that through mutual agreement, Randy will continue to advance the Athletics Department's Strategic Plan by working with a full range of stakeholders to gather additional information that will help shape the future of Florida State athletics.
He has agreed to take on this position through the length of his current contract, which ends in February (2014).
Randy is a person of incredible character and impressive dedication to athletics. He is truly appreciated by our student athletes, because they know he genuinely cares about their success.
The overall performance of our athletic activities under his leadership, as reflected by our stellar standing in the Director's Cup, has been the highest during the past three years in the history of the institution despite an athletics budget that is considerably smaller than athletics programs of peer universities.
What's more, Randy oversaw those accomplishments while always ensuring compliance with NCAA rules and regulations.
I have appointed Senior Associate Athletic Director Vanessa Fuchs as the Interim Athletics Director, and the university will soon begin a search for a new director.

I turned off the circuit breaker to the dishwasher. Next, I removed the inside door cover using a torx set (T-20) on 7 screws holding the panel on the door. Then I removed a couple of other snap on covers to get to the door latch assembly. I was able to determine that I had one out of two micro switchs bad (there was no mechanical clicking sound when I pushed on the switch). Replacing the one switch made the job so easy.

ALBANY — A Kenyan who travels the continent running marathons and a former collegiate cross country star who has only recently begun running the endurance race won the 6th annual Albany Marathon on Saturday on a rain-soaked course.
Pius Muasa Mutuku, a 27-year old Kenyan living in Alabama, won the men's marathon, crossing the finish line first after 2 hours, 23 minutes and 50 seconds — a time slowed by the wet pavement storms brought to South Georgia this weekend.
"It took a lot of work to compete in (the weather)," said Mutuku, who spoke in a soft tone after cruising across the finish line among a steady stream of half-marathon runners, who all ran despite tornado sirens sounding in the distance.
Mutuku has run marathons all over the planet in recent years, finishing in the Top 10 in China, Japan and Hawaii. He ran in the Jacksonville Marathon less than a month ago, finishing fifth just behind last year's Albany Marathon winner, Ethiopian Tesfaye Alemayehu, who broke the course record in Albany with a time of 2:17:09 in 2011.
Mutuku said he plans to send much of the $3,000 in winnings from Saturday's race back home to his family.
"I have one wife and one child," he said. "They live in Kenya."
He plans to continue training for his next big race, the Honolulu Marathon later this year. Mutuku crossed 10 seconds ahead of second-place finisher Mosoti Lamech.
On the women's side, 23-year-old Mackenzie Howe took home the marathon title in just her second official 26.2-mile run.
She finished in a time of 2:54:31, 11 minutes slower than last year's women's winner, although course conditions were much wetter this time around.
"It was a nasty day," said Howe, a Georgia native from Athens who runs with the Atlanta Track Club. "The first marathon I ran in (and finished sixth) was the same kind of weather. I'm kind of used to it. Everyone was struggling through it."
Howe was an all-conference cross country runner at Kennessaw State University before pursuing marathon runs. She won the Atlanta Sun Conference Championship her senior year and was the first cross country runner from the school to ever qualify for nationals.
"I enjoy it," she said. "I'm just trying to get into the marathons."
Howe also has major plans in the future with hopes of qualifying for the Olympic trials in 2016.
"I've got a while to go, but I'm still learning," she said. "I'm still new to the marathons and I'm just hoping to get better."
The half-marathon winners, who ran a distance of 13.1 miles, were former Colquitt County High and Darton College star runner Heath Lamb (1:17:09) in the men's division and Atlanta's Sarah Darvill (1:22:13) in the women's division.
Lee County's Jacob Kennedy, the 2011 Herald Player of the Year in boys cross country, finished eighth overall in the half-marathon with a time of 1:23:50.
Some of the other top local runners in the marathon were Leesburg's Jane Spetosky, who was the 19th-fastest female runner (3:39:45). Pelham's Angelia Horne (3:45:46, No. 25 women's overall), Leesburg's Nicholas King (3:48:48, No. 112 men's overall) and Albany's Richard Wilson (3:56:34, No. 138 men's overall).
More than 600 runners competed in the marathon, and more than 800 in the half-marathon.
The Albany Marathon is one of several qualifiers for the Boston Marathon, although neither marathon winner planned to run in the event later this spring. Close to 1,500 runners ran in the Albany race around the city's downtown area. The run is annually the centerpiece of Albany's Mardi Gras weekend, although the street festival was moved to next Saturday because of inclement weather.

Own stolen property and risk 10 years in jailComment on this story
Durban - A prison sentence of 10 years was now the maximum punishment for people caught in possession of stolen property, Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa warned in Durban on Wednesday.
Addressing thousands of Chatsworth residents during the official opening of a local police station, Mthethwa said a person who bought stolen property was no less a criminal than the one who sold it.
He said that previously, a person caught with stolen property was sentenced to 10 months, and the justice system had not always applied that sentence.
"If you buy from a thief, you are a thief," he said.
The 10-year prison sentence would deal with people whose livelihood depended on stealing and selling, and those who made it their habit to buy stolen goods.
Mthethwa's special adviser, Sbongile Mbotho, said the change came as a result of the Secondhand Goods Amendment Act of 2011.
The government has spent R131 million upgrading the 49-year-old Chatsworth police station. Mthethwa said that now he did not expect its 310 officers to complain about low morale.
He said they should go out and hunt down drug dealers who had made Chatsworth their haven. Most of the dealers operated in the area, but owned expensive homes in upmarket suburbs. "You (officers) must not assault drug dealers or any suspects. But when you apprehend them, hold them so tight that they don't break loose."
He said rape of women, children and the elderly was also a problem in the community.
Mthethwa said the department had identified about 1 000 "rotten" police officers nationally and 170 in KwaZulu-Natal.
They would be removed from the system and criminal charges would be laid against them. "
There is no half police, half criminals… we are in process of cleaning up the police service."
Deputy Minister of Public Works Jeremy Cronin said renovation of the station was free of corruption. As a result, the work cost R105 million instead of R120m, which had been set aside during the tender process.
The department was dealing with 356 cases of corruption, including illegal leasing of government properties.
Regarding Public Protector Thuli Madonsela's report on President Jacob Zuma's home in Nkandla, the department was waiting for the Special Investigation Unit to complete its probe.
"But we have already started to take action. Deputy director-general Sam Vukela has been dismissed and we are now considering laying criminal charges against him," said Cronin.

AFRICA/GABON - Extreme poverty in a Country with one million and a half inhabitants
Libreville (Agenzia Fides) - 30% of the Gabonese population lives below the poverty line. In an African country such data, compared to other countries of the continent, should not cause alarm, however, the number is very high since only a million and a half people live in Gabon and the Country has high export earnings from manganese and wood, and since the 50s oil flows in abundance. The social situation in Gabon is serious. To reveal this reality is a recent study published by the Government, in Libreville, according to information gathered by Fides, which also shows that 95 000 Gabonese families live on less than a dollar a day. More than half of the population lives in the capital, where rents are overly expensive, there is a very high rate of unemployment that daily degenerates into crime. The government, unlike in other countries, provides a number of measures in favor of disabled people. (AP) (Agenzia Fides 12/05/2014)

Top 10 Brilliant But Canceled
Joss Whedon's high-concept space western was a difficult sell to mainstream audiences, television critics and even its own network, but it inspired a group of dedicated fans (called Browncoats, after the show's rebel fighters), who are still active today (as evidenced by their booth at this year's Comic-Con). Through their active campaigning, the Browncoats got more than some fans do. The 2005 feature film Serenity brought back the characters, resolved the relationships and tied up loose narrative ends. And it continues to live on in comic books, novels and games. Still, we can only imagine where they crew would have gone, say, in season six or seven.
2. Wonderfalls, created by Bryan Fuller and Todd Holland. Fox. Original run: March 2004 to December 2004. Number of episodes produced: 14
Before Pushing Daisies on ABC, Bryan Fuller teamed up with Todd Holland (Malcolm in the Middle) and Tim Minear (Angel, Firefly) to create this quirky series, about a cynical twentysomething souvenir-store clerk (Caroline Dhavernas) in Niagara Falls. When she begins hearing the voices of talking animal figures, she finds herself forced to actually care about helping others. The show expertly blended dry wit, unpredictable plots, a sharp cast and an unsentimental approach to sentimental material. Unfortunately, it got lost in a season of shows with similar concepts (like Joan of Arcadia, which lasted one season longer). Considering the network never really had any idea what it had, let alone how to properly promote it, the writing was probably on the wall from the beginning for this lost gem.
3. Now and Again, created by Glenn Gordon Caron. CBS. Original run: September 1999 to May 2000. Number of episodes produced: 22
Why CBS chose not to renew this inventive, funny, sad, well-cast, new-fangled take on The Six Million Dollar Man is no mystery. Despite the intriguing concept of a man who is hit by a subway train and wakes up in a perfect, government-built body, the ratings for this show were not exactly stellar. Stars Eric Close (Without a Trace) and Dennis Haysbert (24) have since gone on to more high-profile gigs, but once upon a time they had great chemistry together as the restless, super-powered secret agent and his by-the-book handler.
4. Alien Nation, created by Kenneth Johnson. Fox. Original run: September 1989 to May 1990. Number of episodes: 22
The not-so-subtle pun in the title gives some indication of the allegorical themes at work in this series, based on the film of the same name. Picking up where the film left off, the show is set in a world where an alien slave ship has crashed on Earth and left its passengers stranded. Forced to assimilate into human society, they encounter the same kinds of struggles as any every other immigrant group throughout history. Except that they get drunk on sour milk and require three partners to procreate. Through the mixed-species partnership of a pair of police detectives--one human, one alien--the show explored issues of immigration, racism and cultural identity. Although canceled after one season due to budgetary pressures, Fox did bring it back in a series of five television movies.
5. Space: Above and Beyond, created by Glen Morgan and James Wong. Fox. Original run: September 1995 to June 1996. Number of episodes: 24
This futuristic war drama followed a squadron of marines known as the Wildcards aboard the USS Saratoga, the space-faring equivalent of an aircraft carrier. In addition to an alien threat and rebel AI mercenaries, the soldiers also faced conflicts closer to home, with the introduction of artificially bred humans and a potential government conspiracy. The show's dark tone, desaturated look, military backdrop and exploration of complex topics such as the moral ambiguity of war make this a predecessor of sorts to the more successful Battlestar Galactica. But back in 1995, the public wasn't quite ready for this kind of series, and the show failed to attract an audience wide enough to justify renewal.
6. The Adventures of Brisco County Jr., created by Jeffrey Boam and Carlton Cuse. Fox. Original run: August 1993 to May 1994. Number of episodes: 27
Clever writing, great production values and a brilliant turn in the title role by the one and only Bruce Campbell made this genre-bending SF-western-comedy a pleasure for those who were hip to its self-referential humor, witty dialogue and memorable performances. Unfortunately, that didn't include most of the viewing audience. Fox scheduled the show on Friday nights, a timeslot notorious for low ratings, with the exception of The X-Files, which just happened to premiere the same year. Seems that the network could only afford to take a chance on one low-rated show, and we all know how that turned out, so they're probably not regretting their decision (though they may be regretting that second movie right about now).
7. American Gothic, created by Shaun Cassidy. CBS. Original run: September 1995 to July 1996. Number of episodes: 22
Moody, atmospheric and sinister, this show from creator Cassidy and executive producer Sam Raimi was the epitome of subtle, character-driven horror. Featuring career-making performances by Gary Cole and Lucas Black, the series centered on a boy (Black) whose soul is desperately sought by the competing forces of good--represented by a small-town doctor and the ghost of the boy's dead sister--and evil--represented by Cole as the demonic Sheriff Buck. Notable veterans of this promising, terminated-before-its-time show also include Battlestar Galactica's David Eick and Oscar winner Stephen Gaghan (Traffic).
8. Jake 2.0, created by Silvio Horta. UPN. Original run: September 2003 to February 2003. Number of episodes produced: 16
NBC seems to have a hit on its hands with Chuck, but it's a safe bet that few of the show's viewers realize that the exact premise was already done in a little-seen show called Jake 2.0. Like its successor, Jake dealt with an affable, lovelorn geek (Ugly Betty's Christopher Gorham) who receives a computer upgrade to his brain (thanks to nanobots, in this case) and is recruited by the government as a spy. This was back in the early days of UPN, when the network was still trying to find its identity and looking for a breakout hit to complement Enterprise. This didn't turn out to be it.
9. Nowhere Man, created by Lawrence Hertzog. UPN. Original run: August 1995 to May 1996. Number of episodes: 25
One of the most frustrating things that can happen when a show is yanked before its time is a denial of answers to a big, over-arching mystery. That's what happened in the case of Nowhere Man, about a photographer (played by Bruce Greenwood), who takes a controversial picture in a South American war zone and suddenly finds his identity erased by a covert, possibly governmental, organization. Nowhere Man incorporated elements of The Fugitive and The Prisoner, but unlike those shows, it never got an epic final episode, leaving fans (dozens of them) to wonder forever (or for a few weeks at least) about the significance of that fateful photograph.
10. Eerie, Indiana, created by Jose Rivera and Karl Schaefer. NBC. Original run: September 1991 to April 1992. Number of episodes: 19
Although it may not have featured big-name stars, this semi-anthology series engaged the few viewers it attracted with the story of a boy (Omri Kats) who moves to the titular town and becomes best friends with the only other normal kid on his block (Justin Shenkarow). Together, they investigate a series of strange phenomenon in their neighborhood, including a Tupperware lady who seals her kids up in large tubs every night to keep them immortal and a pack of intelligent dogs who scheme to take over the world. The show's bizarre plots and offbeat tone helped keep it in the public consciousness, inspiring the creators to continue the storyline in a series of books.

Earth2 is still sadly missed IMO. Great show that definitely deserved a longer life.
Although not my favourite show (close though), I think in terms of consistency of quality, Firefly's about as good as I've seen. Every episode's a gem.

No decision on Mike Pidgorodetskiy's appeal was made at the end of the three-hour hearing, which was continued.
Meanwhile, the lodgings of 42 of Pidgorodetskiy's tenants hang in the balance.
At issue are row homes at 109 and 111 N. 12th St., 1017 Mifflin St. and 440 Lehman St. Each is a rooming house in which tenants have a private room, though most share bathroom facilities, and each house has one common-use kitchen. The rent per room is about $125 per week.
Pidgorodetskiy has been issued a cease-and-desist order from operating the properties as rooming houses because they are all in a residential high-density zone where rooming houses are not permitted without a zoning variance, testified Lebanon zoning hearing officer Karen Zaporozec.
However, Pidgorodetskiy's attorney, George Christianson, presented city records documenting that all but one of the properties have a long history of being either rooming houses or personal care homes. And, he said, they were used in that manner when Pidgorodetskiy purchased them about four years ago.
The house at 440 Lehman St. was a single dwelling Pidgorodetskiy bought in 2008 and converted into a nine-bedroom rooming house.
Zaporozec said she first noticed the properties were out of compliance when she reviewed the buyer notification certificates that were issued by the city Public Safety Department when they were sold.
In the case of the Lehman Street property, the certificates, known as BNC, listed the use of the building as a single-unit dwelling, she said.
The BNC for the property on Mifflin Street and in the 100 block of North 12th Street, however, listed their uses as rooming houses.
But on questioning from Lebanon solicitor Donna Brightbill, Zaporozec clarified that BNCs are not zoning permits, and her zoning permit records show the latest use for 1017 Mifflin St. is single-unit dwelling, while the latest use for the North 12th Street properties is for a personal care home.
Although it is a fine distinction, Zaporozec explained, there are differences between personal care and rooming homes.
"Basically, the difference is your tenant base," she said. "You have removed the supervision, the 24/7 supervision. And it is just now independent living people who don't require any care - for a rooming house."
Also testifying at the request of the city was Betsy Bowman, deputy director of the Lebanon County Redevelopment Authority, which has an office near the North 12th Street properties.
Bowman said the properties were well run when they were personal care homes, but without proper oversight, concerns arose with about two dozen people living in the homes.
Bowman also testified that it violated a city regulation that personal care homes must not be closer than 400 feet.
Through testimony from Zaporozec, Christianson established that Pidgorodetskiy has been paying the city's rental unit licensing fee for all four properties for the past three or four years, without the city raising any questions about it. That stopped this year.
Had he known that the use of the North 12th Street properties violated the city's zoning ordinance, Pidgorodetskiy testified, he would not have spent the $150,000 to buy them.
Between the purchase price and renovations, he said, he has spent more than $400,000 on all four properties.
Pidgorodetskiy also testified that each tenant signs a 15-page lease, and if there is any disruption or illegal activity he is evicted.
"All of our units are run almost like recovery house," he said. "We have very strict rules. ... We try to provide safe apartments."
Pidgorodetskiy, who lives with his family in South Lebanon Township, began his Lebanon real-estate business in 2004. Since then, he testified, he has renovated nearly 80 homes, half of which were condemned or vacant when he purchased them.
Pidgorodetskiy's business has expanded to include real-estate management, and he now owns and manages about two dozen properties in the city, he said.
About two dozen people attended Wednesday's meeting, most in Pidgorodetskiy's camp, including several tenants.
A handful of associates and employees spoke on Pidgorodetskiy's behalf, including Sismai Matos, who handles tenant relations.
Becoming emotional, Matos reminded the Zoning Hearing Board that peoples' lives would be affected by its decision, including hers.
"I beg you, if these permits don't get through I won't have a job anymore, and these people won't have housing," she said. "So I want to put it in your head and in your mind to not only think about permits and regulations, but also think about the people and where they are going to live at."
Because of scheduling conflicts, the five-member zoning board will not be able to resume the hearing at its regularly scheduled August meeting. A date for a special hearing will be announced.
Zoning Hearing Board solicitor Keith Kilgore said he would take additional testimony at that hearing, and a ruling would immediately follow.

Termination of employment: best practice (Australia)
The decision to dismiss an employee is an area of the employment relationship that requires an understanding of a wide range of legislative and other obligations of an employer. The decision is also a significant one in terms of the effect on the employee and the business. Not surprisingly, a significant amount of resources, time and effort needs to be devoted to the associated decisions and processes.
Unfair dismissal laws, which are set out in the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (FW Act), apply to a large number of Australian employees and generally give those employees the broadest protection from having their employment terminated. Therefore a good starting point is to consider whether or not an employee is covered by unfair dismissal laws.
