I'll post here on jigidi, my woodcut of Haystack and the Needles for you.
What a beautiful shot, rivergirl! Those are the Needles, which are next to Haystack Rock (not shown), in Cannon Beach, Oregon. Our family once had a home right on the shore with this exact view!

This post is not money related, but about something I saw on the Marcus Theatres website today. On Tuesday, November 27 they are showing Bon Jovi Inside Out – Live at 7:00.
It is being shown at select theatres. In the Fargo area it will be shown at West Acres 14. Tickets are $12.50.
Following is a description of the event from the Marcus Theatres website.
"Featuring a hand-selected set list from their catalog of hits, BON JOVI includes the iconic band's best performances from their sold-out, 12-night stand in London's O2, the inaugural multi-night run at New Meadowlands Stadium and their celebratory shows at the famed Madison Square Garden. Split-screen footage will provide a unique view of the band performing this dream set list, creating a unique concert experience. In addition, this not-to-be-missed event will feature band members Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, David Bryan and Tico Torres in a LIVE broadcast from Times Square, in which they will answer fan questions and discuss their upcoming 2013 Tour and highly anticipated new studio album to be released this spring."
I attended an event like this earlier this year featuring Rascal Flatts. It was fun to see some behind the scenes action and learn more about the band members.

|The pharmacologic therapy of post-cauterization and post-laser vaporization with polydeoxyribonucleotide.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 2102064 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The most widely used ablative techniques in the therapy of benign cervical lesions are physical treatments with cauterization or laser vaporization; these are, however, usually used for the largest or symptomatic lesions. Many Authors suggest, after physical treatment, the use of topical chemotherapy in order to abolish any possible inflammatory reaction. The use of drugs such as polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) 5 mg (POLIDES 5--Farmigea), provided with reepithelialization and anticomplement action, seems to promote a quicker recovery of the cauterized or vaporized zone, avoiding, at the same time, the secondary inflammatory reaction. The Authors have assessed the quality of reepithelialization by means of PDRN 5 mg ovules of the cervical zone which has been previously subjected to laser vaporization or cauterization for benign cervical lesions or CIN I. The trial was performed with two groups of patients: Group A: laser vaporization, 45 patients, 23 of whom treated with PDRN and 22 with placebo. Group B: cauterization, 46 patients, 24 treated with PDRN and 22 with placebo. The treatment with PDRN 5 mg ovules started on the day of physical treatment and continued for twelve days. The examination of the patients, performed before the treatment (TO) included the following tests: bacteriological test; PAP-smear, colposcopic examination with eventual direct biopsy. The first follow-up (T 1) was performed after 14 days and included a Pap-smear, colposcopic examination and microcolpohysteroscopy (MC) carried out in the zone where physical treatment had been performed, in order to obtain a map of the reepithelialization process process.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Hi everyone,
I'm having problems tweaking my Front Derailleur. I purchased a Mercier Galaxy SC3 online (bikesdirect) and therefore received the bike partly assembled. Having put together a BD bike in the past, this was a piece of cake...until I encountered the shifting with the Front Derailleur. I can't seem to get the front derailleur in just the right position to allow shifting in ALL 24 gears WITHOUT the front derailleur touching the chain. I tried moving the derailleur up and down the tube, tightening/loosening the derailleur but only succeeded in cutting my finger and practically shredding the metal cable. Might the problem be that the derailleur can't accommodate 3 rings in the front and 8 in the back as the range is too large?
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Derailleurs: Shimano Sora RD3400GS Triple rear, Shimano FD-2303 front

The Dynamite Roll is popular at Sumo Japanese Steak House and Sushi in Indian Harbour Beach.
- Filed Under
Sumo, to most of the world, refers to the Japanese full-contact bouts performed by super-beefy wrestlers. But in Brevard, Sumo also identifies the Indian Harbour Beach restaurant where dishes such as the Dynamite Roll go easy on the palate with nary a fight.
Less than 6 months old, Sumo is the third restaurant for brothers Paul and Kevin Chen, who have operated eateries in New Jersey and Utah. In this family place, Candy, Kevin's wife, is both manager and server, and she serves a lot of Dynamite Rolls. The $9.95 plate features fresh tuna, avocado, cilantro and jalapeños rolled in crunchies with ...

STD rates on the rise among seniors
While teen sex education is important for the younger generations, it seems that older adults may need some schooling on safe sex. A recent article in the Orlando Sentinel discusses the fact that sexually transmitted diseases (STD) are on the rise among older populations.
Because most seniors aren't concerned about pregnancy prevention, some may choose to forgo wearing a condom when having sex. This leaves them at a heightened risk of contracting an STD.
Seniors are living longer, healthier lives, and also find themselves as targets for products to enhance their sex lives, such as Viagra or personal lubricants. Sex among older adults is not a negative trend, but unfortunately, many of these older adults did not receive safer sex education when they were younger, which may contribute to their lack of condom usage.
Julia Gill, director of the Division of Disease Control for the Florida Department of Health, hopes to do something about this issue. "Certainly we've noted the change and will adjust our outreach, testing and marketing efforts to reflect that," Gill said of the rise in STDs among seniors.
The issue of sexual health among seniors is a concern on a national scale – Medicare is considering using funds to cover STD testing.

For two dozen years, Jim Tressel has made his way to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Luncheon Club as a speaker.
For two dozen years, Jim Tressel has made his way to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Luncheon Club as a speaker. Only Bob Huggins has spoken more, but Tressel joked that some of those years Huggins was in the NAIA at Walsh University.
The Ohio State football coach's speech is always full of good barbs with the audience, and it is a good-natured fun. Here is a sampling of what the Buckeyes head coach had to stay, including how he feels about coaching one of the teams favored to be among the top five in the country next season.
• Question from audience member: "My barber, who knows everything, said you were going to become the president of Youngstown State, and you were going to make the announcement at our luncheon club.
Tressel's response after a few moments of belly laughter from the crowd: Well, I don't know you, but by looking at you, you need a new barber."
• On whether or not he believes Heisman Trophy quarterback Troy Smith will be a member of the Cleveland Browns: "I know the Baltimore Ravens feel strongly about him. (Ravens General Manager) Ozzie Newsome was in my office last summer, and he couldn't say enough about the leadership, the attitude and the progression (of Troy). Ozzie told me, 'This guy is gonna be a starter in the NFL.' How the Browns feel about that ... we'll see."
• Tressel was one of six coaches who toured U.S. military bases last summer to sign autographs and meet troops. Here are a couple of snippets from his experiences:
"We changed planes in Turkey (before flying to Iraq), and we got into a C-130. I asked, 'Why are we switching planes?' and they said, 'because this one can shoot back.' "
"It had been about three or four days of getting three to four hours of sleep, and we were getting tired. ... They told us we were going to stay at one of Saddam's palaces in Baghdad. OK, that's probably nice. We get in about 3 o'clock in the morning, and we had a 6:30 departure the next morning. ... We were looking around Saddam's palace, and we're thinking, we're gonna have really nice rooms. Understand, this is six head coaches and we're used to, when we get to a game, there's a fruit basket in our hotel room. ... I happen to be the first one to the door where our rooms were. I open it, and there's four bunk beds. Now we're in a fistfight to see who's gonna sleep on top."
Tressel was always the first coach to run out of Ohio State gear to give to troops or pictures to sign. "About a third of the way through the trip, the other coaches started teasing me, 'What? Does everyone in Ohio serve the country?' I said, 'You're damn right we do. That's what we do.'"
Page 2 of 2 - • On the experience of flying overseas for the first time in his life:
"It was exciting for me because, quite honestly, I had never been anywhere. I grew up in Ohio, and I've coached 35 years of college football, and 33 of them have been in Ohio. Two were in Syracuse, and I'd been to Niagara Falls. That was the extent of it."
• QB Terrelle Pryor recently had knee surgery. Tressel called the procedure a scope and said, contrary to published reports, there haven't been problems with the surgery, and there is not an infection.
"He's fine. We had a 6 a.m. workout this morning. He was there, and he did the whole workout with a weighted vest on. Now I'm starting to worry about his intelligence."
• On how North Canton running back Erick Howard can go to the University of Akron and not Ohio State?
"We're not allowed to comment on recruits. ... I love the kid. Things work out."
• On the 2010 expectations being high.
"We always have high expectations. I don't know if I like it more or less when the outside expectations are any different. We're so glued in to trying to figure out what it is we have to do to get better. ... This team won't be anything like last year's team. It makes it fun to coach. There's never a same-old, same-old."

POCASSET — A Bourne man who allegedly threatened to harm himself before fleeing to the woods was found alive and uninjured Thursday afternoon after a two-hour search involving multiple police departments.
Around 3 p.m., the Bourne Police Department responded to the Four Ponds Conservation Area after they received a report that the man, who was armed with a knife, had fled from a parked car in the area, according to a Bourne Police Department press release. At the time of the report, the man had allegedly been in the woods for about an hour.
The man was found around 5 p.m. hiding in the woods near Spinnaker Lane, according to the press release. The man was taken to the Police Department for evaluation.
The man will not face any charges, said Bourne police Sgt. James Czyryca.
Because of the large area and wooded terrain, Bourne police received assistance from the Barnstable County Sheriff's Office K-9 Unit and the Massachusetts State Police, including the State Police Air Wing.

easly fixable??
So the boy goes out riding last night and comes home to show me this.
Dad can we duct tape this :giggle:
I believe the out come of not landing on top of the rail
was kidding in the title
just needs a sticker.
If it's cracked clean through to the other side, even if you use some epoxy it'll be prone to crack again with any good amount of force on it. You might be able to get some use, but I don't think anything long-term.
Isn't that far enough up the tip to not really affect the ride? I second the duct tape... :D
its a kids board right, if he's big enough now give him one of your old deck otherwise kids boards are relatively cheap right, doesnt look all that expensive but I do love the wood grain top sheet, wish more boards had nice old school wooden veneers like ETM has been making
Fill with epoxy, cover with duct tape, peel off in the morning and sand/place sticker as needed. Have to remind him that you need to POP when going into a rail.
He's 17 now so not quite a kids deck.
I'll try to do some repairs to it and see how it holds up. I called my buddies shop and I'll see what he has. The boy is going to pay to replace it as well. He earns his own money now, and this is part of the sport
My only real concern is our long weekend of riding at our favorite resort is 3 weeks out and I don't want him relying on this deck. Cuz if it fails bad enough, he would then have to rent a deck and knowing him he would hate it and not enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Take drywall self adhesive fiber mesh. Stick drywall mesh covering the crack both front top sheet and base. Fill top sheet two part epoxy, $5 base just whole stick of P-tex. Sand top scrap base DONE!!!
Assuming that's a twin then just bust out the jig saw and make a swallow tail for future trips.
I told him this is now his practice/urban board that works too

Abergavenny is an ace little town, with heaps happening all year round. It's also known as the gateway to Wales for its access to the Black Mountains, Brecon Beacons National Park and Offa's Dyke Path. The Beacons Way, the Usk Valley Walk and the Marches Way all pass through here too.
There are events and festivals of all flavours in Abergavenny: the Abergavenny Food Festival in September, lauded by the Observer as 'the Glastonbury of food festivals'; its carnival and festival in summer; twice-yearly fair dating back centuries and markets most days at the Market Hall including flea and farmers' … or get dramatic at any time of year with the plays and comedy of the Abergavenny Borough Theatre. Canny shopper? Poke around the car boot sale every Sunday a mile from Blossom.
At the nearby Brecon Beacons National Park, start off for info and buns at the National Park Visitor Centre for tips on what to do, or have a starting sightsee on the Brecon Mountain Railway. The national park and the area around it, including the area around Blossom, are a hit with stargazers who come for the clear skies: it's possible to see the Milky Way from the Brecon Beacons National Park and it was the fifth place in the world to get International Dark-Sky Reserve Status.
Heritage and history geeks will find plenty to gaze upon in Monmouthshire too: the Big Pit National Coal Museum and underground tour at Blaenavon; the eleventh century Brecon Cathedral, the fab Raglan Castle for sightseeing and events, and museums including the Nelson collections at Monmouth Museum and the World War II air raid shelter at Abergavenny Museum.
The cathedral city of Newport is about half an hour's drive away: there's another castle here, several churches and a big museum and art gallery.

St. Sebastian priest on leave
NORTH BELLE VERNON - Fred Fundy said the most difficult thing is not knowing.
Fundy and other members of St. Sebastian Church in North Belle Vernon were informed at Masses last weekend that their pastor, the Rev. John R. Cindric, had been placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation.
The allegations that led to Cindric's removal from his duties haven't been publicly disclosed, but there are indications he was sidelined for "behavior unbecoming a minister."
While a spokeswoman for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Greensburg said Cindric had not been accused of sexually molesting children, she provided no explanation for the priest's suspension.
"I'm still really just stunned by it," Fundy said. "Your imagination is a terrible thing, but I'm just waiting to see what it is."
He said Cindric was a much-loved figure at the church and that emotions ran high when the news was delivered.
"There were a lot of eyes being wiped and a lot of mouths hanging open," he said.
Jenny Forte, another parishioner, agreed.
"It was just a shock to us because he's just a wonderful priest," she said. "He was so alive, so cheerful. Even the church was sad without him Sunday. He was just a great guy. The church won't be the same without him."
Fundy said Cindric delivered a sermon unlike many of his counterparts.
"He made the liturgy come alive for everyone," Fundy said.
North Belle Vernon Mayor Pat Angelo, another parishioner, said she shared the shock and dismay.
"I can't speak as the mayor, but I can speak as a parishioner. I'm shocked without a doubt. I feel badly for the community and the church," she said. "I guess the only thing we can do is pray for everyone - including Reverend Cindric."
There are apparently no charges against the 55-year-old Cindric, although one law enforcement agency is said to be investigating.
Cindric could not be reached for comment.
The Rev. Roger Statnick, vicar general of the diocese, said the diocese will conduct its own review and determine a course of action if the allegations can be substantiated.
"Our concern is the good of the church," he said.
As per diocesan policies, that may include "action to help the person remediate the situation," he added.
The Greensburg diocese serves about 188,000 Catholics in 102 parishes in Westmoreland, Fayette, Indiana and Armstrong counties.
Administrative leave is not an indication of guilt, Statnick said. It's standard procedure when allegations are made. He did not rule out civil proceedings.
North Belle Vernon police referred calls to the Westmoreland County Detective's Office. District Attorney John Peck could not be reached for comment.
While a tight lid of secrecy has been put on the nature of the charges Cindric faces, Angela Burrows, executive director of infomedia services at the diocese, made it clear he has not been accused of sexually abusing children.
"This was not prompted by an allegation of sexual abuse involving children," said Burrows said.
In all, five priests in the diocese - three active and two retired - were told not to practice public ministry in connection with the nationwide clergy sexual abuse scandal that has rocked the Catholic church.
While diocesan officials said it's not clear at this point how the allegations against Cindric would be handled if substantiated, Statnick said the five-member diocesan review board that advised Bishop Anthony G. Bosco in the sexual abuse cases could be called into service again. The board consists of an attorney, a school principal, a priest and two professionals in the field of violence and sexual abuse.
Statnick, who has been appointed temporary administrator of St. Sebastian Parish, announced Cindric's removal at Masses held this past weekend at the church. The Rev. Ronald Cyktor will continue in his duties as associate pastor.
Cyktor said the St. Sebastian parish is doing its best to deal with the loss of its "well-known, popular pastor." The allegations that led to Cindric's administrative leave came as a surprise to the parishioners, he said.
"People are shocked. They're working through it," Cyktor said. "There's not a lot of details."
Cindric headed a renovation program and instituted a number of new programs at St. Sebastian, one of the Greensburg diocese's largest parishes with more than 1,200 families.
Burrows said the parish had a successful $1 million capital campaign in 2001. "He had a reputation for breathing new life into St. Sebastian," she said.
Cindric, who came to St. Sebastian in 1994, also served as dean of Deanery 5. The deans are the bishop's representatives in the various regions and have administrative duties with the diocese.
Cindric's past assignments included serving as chaplain at Seton Hill University. From 1989 to 1994, he was pastor of St. Barbara's Church in Harrison City. He served as pastor of St. Joseph's Church in Everson, Fayette County, from 1986 to 1989. Cindric served as an associate pastor at diocesan churches in Kittanning, New Kensington and Lower Burrell.

A movie with at least two disparate beat-the-clock motifs, Ruben Fleischer's 30 Minutes Or Less mixes pizza-delivery guarantees with a bank heist threat wherein the meal messenger in question is strapped with a bomb set to detonate if his demands aren't met.
Jesse Eisenberg—who is perfecting his skills lately in movies like The Social Network, Holy Rollers and director Fleischer's Zombieland—is Nick, an insanely exploited bottom feeder, vocationally stuck delivering pizzas by car in economically depressed Grand Rapids, Michigan. And since the titular clause applies primarily to him—the buyer gets the pizza for free if it arrives late, and the tab comes out of Nick's pitiful salary—he's devised an array of gimmicks for ripping off any cheapskate customers right back. And yes, this opener in the frantic comedy is really funny, but about as funny as it ever gets.
Meanwhile on another side of town, a pair of fanatical slackers Dwayne (Danny McBride) and Travis (Nick Swardson) are mulling schemes to separate a bundle of bucks from Dwayne's deranged dad (Fred Ward). And they settle on itinerant hitman Chango (Michael Peña), recommended by a gabby lap dancer (Bianca Kajlich) at the sleazy strip club in town.
But to come up with the money to hire Chango, the dangerously daffy duo figure out that they need to rob a bank. Not up to performing that deed themselves, however, they kidnap Nick, strapping a homemade bomb to him. And they send him on his way to pull off the heist, presumably before the contraption detonates. Though Nick's "30 minutes or less" skills should come in handy during such a crisis, in this case they're not quite handy enough—leading to an urgent plea for help directed at disapproving best friend Chet (Aziz Ansari), who is currently peeved upon discovering that Nick happened to have recently deflowered his twin sister, Kate (Dilshad Vadsaria).
Now, while Quentin Tarantino has fashioned an important oeuvre from his malevolent combination of dubious dark comedy and truly awful tragedy, that recipe is not always in such capable hands. Because is perverse laughter directed at terrible stuff in the real world—like suicide bombers, or pizza delivery-drudge Brian Wells, on whom this story is based, and who actually did get blown to bits against his will in August 2003 outside his local bank—really the way to go? And if it is, where is the line drawn?

It Takes A Wizard
"It Takes A Wizard" is one of the must-have manga for your bookshelf. You won't be able to find this title with any of the Japanese publishers, because it's an Ameri-manga (あまりマンガ?) from Seven Seas Entertainment. The publisher of original manga-style comics paired a German writer Thomas R Hart together with a Singaporean manga artist Sean Lam (林宝华) for this epic tome.
It Takes A Wizard – by Thomas R. Hart and Sean Lam
"It Takes A Wizard" unfolds in a post-apocalyptic New York City. Manhattan had become a rogue state, at war with the rest of USA. Everett Winterthorn, the sorcerer Midnight King, had made his base in NYC. He plans to conquer the world with his army of trolls, goblins, imps, ghoul and harpies. Isaac Silverberg, Winterthorn's former apprentice, could be the only hope.
This single-volume manga is 480-pages long, and is a hot-seller since it rolled off the press in July this year. The title flew off the shelves at the local Borders (sold out!), and Kinokuniya is still waiting for their stock. This is Sean's maiden work and it certainly took more than magic for the Singaporean comics artist to complete this project.
Sean's artwork is remarkable for a rookie.
"It Takes A Wizard" interior lineart by Sean Lam
It's not far-fetched to compare Sean's art to those done by Japanese manga artists – both past and present. I can imagine Sean's artwork being serialised in Kodansha's "Afternoon" or any of the established manga magazines – especially those that appeal to the seinen (青年) group.
Kuro Yanagi – Sean Lam's character design
Sean's style is inspired by the manga artists of the late 80s and 90s – and there's a strong old-school vibe coming from the "organic" strokes of ink.
Sean got into comics during primary school, starting with superhero titles from Marvel and DC . By the time he got to secondary school, he discovered manga and Hong Kong comics. The seminal titles "Dragonball", "Dr Slump","City Hunter" and "Saint Seiya" were part of his formative years. He fell in love with manga's dramatic storyboarding and intricate lineart. Presently, Sean does not limit his taste to any genre, but reads widely and draw inspiration from many sources.
Sean Lam, 31, is a full-time independent comic artist. Inspired by comics, Sean began practicing art at a young age. He continued his education at Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) to hone his talent in visual arts. But back in the 90s, the comics industry here was non-existent so he found job as an illustrator in the advertising industry. Yet, he didn't give up on his dream and continued making comics on his own time.
Sean's winning entry for AXN Anime Character Design circa 2002
On his own, Sean submitted artwork for competitions and had also met potential businesses that might publish his work. Yet, opportunities in the local scene was not forthcoming. Three years ago, driven by his passion and with encouragement from his wife, Sean moved on from his career from being an art director to a full-time comics artist.
Sean's break came when he submitted his pitch to Seven Seas Entertainment, which was then looking for manga artists to work on their original properties."It Takes A Wizard" was meant to be only 180-pages long but it came to 480-pages when it was published, almost thrice the original length!! The book took Sean two-and-a-half years to complete.
192pp Bakuman tankoubon vs 480pp "It Takes A Wizard" tradepaper back
"It Takes A Wizard" is Sean's crucible – this was his first piece of work. Fortunately, this manga wasn't serialised as a periodical i.e. published in weekly/monthly chapters - so he wasn't under the crushing pressure of tight deadlines. But the downside was – he couldn't see the fruit of his labours until two years later; along the way, he wasn't able to receive critique from readers. His only feedback came from the editor and writer.
Sean worked alone, and had no assistants or any 'professional' tools to help him.
Sean's work station
Sean works 'unplugged' – he pencils directly onto A4-sized inkjet paper and inks his lineart with humble ball-point pens (G-pens are expensive and messy). He uses an improvised self-made lightbox to trace over his draft. He would then digitise his finished art with a scanner before sending it to the editor for review. If there's any corrections are needed, it would not be simple case of clicking the 'un-do' button.
Pilot Super Gel ballpoint pen and manga white paint
Sean believes that its not the tools, but the length of hours in practice and keen observation of the everyday life that makes the difference. One can still make wonderful art with the most simple tools. You can start doing comics on a modest budget.
Improvised Light Box
Blue ink – draft; Black ink – final
When Sean began, he could only put out about 20 pages of finished artwork per week. By the second year, he could go up to 30 pages per week.
There were times when Sean felt like giving up – but his passion get him going. He shared that the most important thing for an artist, is that the effort must come from the heart. Sean's story on how he became a comics artist, and his struggle to complete his first work – would make good materials for a shonen manga. Yet, this story is still being written. Where will this manga take him? Will he submit his personal works and win recognition at Kondasha's 4th Morning International Comic Competition?
Meanwhile, Sean is working on another project from Seven Seas Entertainment. At the same time, he is also developing his own original story. Sean needs assistants on this adventure. For those interested to walk this journey with him, you may email your biography together with your portfolio to [seanlamcomic (at) yahoo.com.sg]
"It Takes A Wizard" may be a digest-sized book but it's more than a pocketful of goodness. It's a promising gem from a Singaporean artist. The book will be available at Kinokuniya, priced at S$22.48. and it's the right kind of reading material for year-end holiday season

As of Wednesday, February 12, 2014
© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
CONYERS — A proposal to move management of Rockdale County's 911 Center operations to the Sheriff's Office was on the County Commission meeting agenda Tuesday, but commissioners deferred discussion due to the absence of the chairman.
Post 2 Commissioner JaNice Van Ness, acting in the absence of Chairman Richard Oden, said she preferred to postpone the discussion until the next work session when Oden could be present. Post 1 Commissioner Oz Nesbitt agreed. Van Ness said commissioners are looking at the operation of 911 to see what is the best place for management — under the chairman or under the sheriff.
Rockdale's 911 center is currently overseen by Fire and Rescue Chief Dan Morgan, who was also appointed Emergency Management Agency director by Oden. Morgan said he had first heard of the proposal less than 18 hours before the meeting.
A previous effort in 2009 to move 911 services under the control of the Sheriff's Office was strongly opposed by Oden. At that time, Oden discounted then-Sheriff Jeff Wigington's arguments that operation of the 911 center would be more efficient and would save money if it was overseen by the RCSO.
At Tuesday's meeting, Morgan asked that some discussion about the proposal take place before the commissioners' next work session.
"Before we bring this back up before the board I would suggest we have some sort of working committee to discuss the pros and cons of doing this for the departments and all of the regular users of Rockdale County," he said.
Van Ness and Nesbitt agreed with that approach.
"I want to devote the necessary amount of time to this issue and see if it is a viable option or not," Van Ness said.
Nesbitt said a committee discussion would give Morgan an opportunity to counter the proposal.
"In order for me to counter, as you said, I would love to have some sort of documents from whoever precipitated this event on what the concerns are and why the changes actually needed to take place to begin with — that would be a great starting point," said Morgan.

Channel 4 heard from some leaders Friday in Tallahassee, about their thoughts on the conflict in Syria.
U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson is clear on where he stands concerning the short-term use of force in Syria.
"I think it is clearly in our best national security interests," said Nelson. "I think it is in the security interests in the world. I will vote 'Yes' when it comes up for vote next week."
Two northeast Florida voices that representing the people in state politics shared their opinions on Syria this week.
"Nobody likes to hear we're going to war, it's not a positive thing, but it's a major dilemma certainly for our President," said State Sen. Audrey Gibson.
Gibson believes President Obama has a tough challenge in choosing how to respond to the conflict in Syria.
Channel 4 also spoke with State Sen. Aaron Bean on Friday, he said that he's hearing from his constituents that because of the threat of an American military strike, Syria always comes up in conversation.
"I'm out here talking about state issues, but that's what people want to talk about," said Bean. "Syria and any aspect you look at with Syria, I think the United States has no business what-so-ever."
Even with Syrian Americans organizing public displays opposing military intervention, Bean believes it comes down to what's best for America.
Gibson said she wants to trust Obama with making the right call.
"In the end, I believe the President so far very deliberative," said Gibson. "I'd trust, all the info he gathered it's more beneficial to the people who remain in Syria."
"There are those who say we'll just lob a couple cruise missiles into the country and that'll be it -- That's the equivalent of going to a hornet's nest, rattling, kicking it, saying, 'That'll teach 'em and settle things down,'" said Bean. "It's just going to escalate things further. Stay out, United States. Let's worry about our own country."

Things got a little crazy in NYC tonight. We experienced some rather…unusual weather. We're talking, of course, about the bizarre "twister with teeth" (to quote Today's Al Roker—yes, really!) known as a "sharknado." And we reacted to this strangest of unnatural disasters in the most rational way possible: by tweeting about it. A lot.
Fortunately, we Lucky staffers all survived tonight's shark-infested skies, and we will return to our regularly scheduled programming tomorrow morning. But before we do, let's take a look at some of the best, "punniest" and most entertaining Sharknado 2: The Second One tweets from tonight's premiere.
Last summer's Sharknado drew winning zingers from the likes of Mia Farrow, Tom + Lorenzo and Go Fug Yourself, just to name a few. So who won the social media game this year? Click through the slideshow above to see our top 25 favorite Sharknado 2-related tweets, and let us know which was your favorite!

COVINGTON - Since the inception of the Newton Cup, four years for the boys two for the girls, it has always been at Eastside.This year is no different as the Eastside boys won the cup for the fifth time while this is the third year the girls have kept it. The Eastside boys retained the cup with a two-day total of 461 with Alcovy coming in second with 563 followed by Newton with 567. On the girls side, Eastside won it all with a team score of 205, followed by Newton (242) and Alcovy (254). The Eastside boys entered the second round of the tournament with an 80-stroke lead over second place Alcovy and continued to build from there. Scoring the low round in the alternate-shot modified format was the team of J.T. Blaker and Taylor Lazenby. With four birdies, the duo turned in a 77 to lead all eight groups. "Anytime you make a birdie in this format it's good. Taylor Lazenby has improved all year long and J.T. has a lot of game. It was a pretty good pairing," Eastside coach Jay Cawthon said. "You're so worried about putting your partner in a bad predicament in this format. That's why we don't ever play it." Also posting a score to give Eastside a 161 was the team of Ace Cook and Justin Norris. Playing in the No. 1 position were Tate Miller and Nick Green who shot an 87. "We really don't have a No. 1 group, they all played No. 1, No. 2 or No. 3 in this format," Cawthon said. "When we get a team together that's always one of our goals, to win a Newton Cup. It was tough conditions with a tough format." Alcovy's Matt Moore and Patrick McNally had a good day scoring an 83, five strokes better then Newton's team of Josh Williams and Morgan Page, to come in second place. "I'm real pleased because last year we didn't come close. That's a big improvement," Alcovy coach Chris Newsham said. "Matt and Patrick had the (second) low score for the day, that's impressive. They seem to play pretty good when they play (together). I think Patrick helps Matt out so he doesn't get frustrated." Posting Alcovy's second score of 100 were Travis Aiken and Michael McNally, with Drake Potts and Tyler Azar shooting a 107. Giving Newton a score of 184, were the teams of Franklin Clackum and John Janis, who had a 96. In the girls tournament, Maggie Smith and Emily Almand shot a low score of 104, 24 better then Newton and 34 better then Alcovy, to retain the Newton Cup. Smith also became the low medalist with a two-day score of 100 (50-50). Almond came in second, adding a 54 to her 51 from the first round. "I think every time (Smith) goes out and plays she wants to be low medalist, especially in the Newton Cup," Eastside coach Jason Grooms said. "I was very pleased with both days of Emily's scoring. She had a 54 and she's just a freshman. That's great scoring from her, it's a good experience." Also playing for Eastside were Jessi Lindsay and Madison Raynor. Their scores of 68 and 67 were better than Newton's and Alcovy's team score of 128 and 138. Playing for Alcovy were Yancy Clark and Elizabeth Alexander. Newton's team consisted of Lydia Mikula, Emilie Jones, Jessica Hillman and Tiara Schinnery. "One of our goals this season was to retain the cup. We're just trying to build some tradition. We have some good golfers," Grooms said. "We take pride in retaining the cup, we just want to continue to keep it." Manny Fils can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A Petaluma woman is facing multiple theft-related charges in connection with four incidents since late November involving several businesses in Petaluma.
Jennifer Weissenberger, 40, has been arrested or ticketed by police four times since Nov. 24, when she was cited twice within an hour, police said.
She appeared in Sonoma County Superior Court Friday on two misdemeanor charges. Additional charges may be filed next week, prosecutors said. Her attorney couldn't be reached late Friday.
Petaluma Police Lt. Tim Lyons said Weissenberger was cited twice on Nov. 24 in connection with two incidents in a shopping center not far from her northeast Petaluma home.
At 9:45 a.m., she was detained in the G&G Market shopping center on Sonoma Mountain Parkway on suspicion of shoplifting $156 worth of merchandise including greeting cards and decorative items from the supermarket, Lyons said.
While talking with her, officers noticed a large amount of items from Starbucks, he said.
Police believe earlier that morning she stole $89 worth of merchandise from the coffee shop, which is across the parking lot from G&G.
Three days later, she was arrested after a downtown Petaluma merchant reported a "suspicious person" who had purchased $100 in ceramics at B Street Mercantile using a fraudulent credit card, Lyons said.
The shop owner told police Weissenberger had bags from Athletic Soles, another shop in downtown Petaluma. That shop owner told police Weissenberger had paid for merchandise there with six crisp $100 bills, which raised suspicions.
When she was arrested in connection with the B Street incident, "officers found six credit cards that didn't belong to her and some other identification with a different person's name on it," Lyons said.

My Turn: In baseball and corporate America, salaries are out of control
Robinson Cano just signed a 10-year contract to play baseball for the Seattle Mariners. For that he will be paid $240 million, or an average of $24 million per year until he is 41.
A group of us were sitting around at coffee the other day talking about how the disparity in pay has changed over the last few years. I decided to look into this a little more.
When I was a kid back in the dark ages of the 1950s, my favorite ballplayer was Ted Williams. Robinson Cano cannot be compared with Williams in skill sets or as a draw to the public, but I thought it would be interesting to compare their inflation-adjusted pay and the ratios of their salaries to the National Average Wage Index levels of their corresponding eras.
Here are the results:
Inflation adjusted to 2012
Ted Williams
Pay in 1959: $125,000
Inflation-adjusted pay: $971,093
Robinson Cano
Pay in 2014: $24,000,000
Inflation-adjusted pay: $24,000,000
Compared with average workers
Ted Williams
Pay in 1959: $125,000
NAWI pay in 1959: $3,855.80
Ratio 32.42:1
Robinson Cano
Pay in 2014: $24,000,000
NAWI pay in 2012: $44,321.59
Ratio 541.49:1
While these figures are startling and show how out of control pay disparity has become in sports, it pales to the corresponding changes in business at some major corporations.
When I was a very senior officer at a Fortune 500 company back in the early 1980s, I earned about six times more than the average salary of employees in my units. Today that ratio at many of these large companies would be close to 200 times. That's a ratio expansion almost double what we've seen in sports.
For the ballplayers and other sports figures, the numbers are staggering, but these players bring very high levels of skills to popular sports and their pay is based on what their idiot owners are willing to shell out. It is a competitive bidding process and they are taking advantage of the marketplace.
Senior executives at successful, large corporations also deserve to be well-paid, but it is a lot easier for them to advance to the level of exorbitant excess. In combination with a friendly and well-paid board of directors, they control their own destiny. For a lot of them it is about using their pay as a proclamation of their status in a game of "who can make the best-paid list" in Forbes or the Wall Street Journal. And since their egos are always bigger than their paychecks, the trend is a geometrically rising pay level. The companies justify these levels to stockholders by going out and getting consultant comparison studies of other companies doing the same thing. All of this occurs while the average salary base at these companies is kept under tight control. The sad fact is that for really big companies, you can pay your top five or six executives huge money and hardly make a dent in earnings as long as you keep the broader employee cost base down.
Many North American unions have come in for some very justifiable criticism because they refuse to deal with the realities of the laws of comparative advantage. They have seen manufacturing businesses flee overseas because they won't adjust work rules or pension programs. But it is a hard thing to ask them to make huge sacrifices when they see the games being played by senior managements in these companies.
The huge deals for Cano and others make an impression on most of us because we follow sports a lot closer than business, and because these salaries are exposed to the harsh glare of publicity. Key executive salaries are buried under footnotes and obscured by allocations to special pension benefits, stock options, etc. And it appears to be too much work for most of our journalists to dig into the fine print of these corporate 10k's and annual reports, and shine a light on what is going on in some of these board rooms.
The bottom line is that the pay disparity issue has been getting worse for years, both in business and in sports. And as long as the costs can be passed along to the public in ticket prices, cable bills and the cost of services, it will continue.
Competition keeps prices up in sports (along with the fact that the agents are smarter than the owners). Competition also keeps the prices going up for CEOs and senior executives. Unfortunately, it seems to be the competition to see who can pay themselves the most.
Until we start applying some pressure on out-of-control managements, owners and players to act like responsible citizens, pay disparity will continue to weigh heavily on our national conscience.

The first sign that Thursday night represented changing times for the Manville High School girls basketball team came when the bleachers on one side of the gymnasium were full at tip-off.
The more telling sign came 90 minutes later, when a senior-laden group showed fourth-quarter toughness.
To the enjoyment of about 40 students chanting and stomping their feet as well as the proud participants in Senior Parent Night, Manville overcame a three-point deficit by scoring 11 of the game's final 14 points to beat Mount St. Mary 40-35 and pick up its seventh win in 12 tries this season. ...
