OPP: Touchy-Feely Co-Worker
by Slacker and Steve
posted Oct 7 2013 9:26PM
Tim joined us live on the air to share his OPP today. He is a maintenance worker and is constantly put on jobs with another guy. Whenever they are on a job, the other guy will put his arm around him while they are discussing things or do that shoulder rub/massage thing to him. It makes him really uncomfortable and he thinks his co-worker might be trying to hit on him.
Do you think he's reading it to it too much? How do you deal with someone that is overly physical?

OPP: Touchy-Feely Co-Worker
Please Enter Your Comments Below
Touchy feely co worker
He needs to tell his co worker face to face that his touching is unwanted. It doesn't matter if it's a guy or girl doing it, unwanted touching is inappropriate. If that doesn't work he needs to file a complaint with human resources without fear of retribution. Whether this guy is homosexual or not he should keep his hands to himself.
Just a thought
Anyone who is uncomfortable with physical touching should have the right to say stop. That said, be aware of how you say it. Tone the ego down, while the co worker might be into you, they might just be a more physical person. Just cause you think he's gay and you're a guy, doesn't mean he wants you. Don't flatter yourself. I guess I view it as the same when guys assume we're (women) flirting with them, when we're just being friendly. Just cause people are friendly, doesn't mean they want to sleep with you.. That said, of course you have the right to say stop if you're uncomfortable, just don't be an a-hole about it.
My opinion
I was listening to "Tim" on the way home and I have the following points to make: We have always taught our children that a confrontation consists of three things - a victim, a perpetrator and a location. Eliminate one and there is no confrontation. Tim can just as easily stay at arms length from his co worker and continue to move away when co worker steps closer, he can be friendly and state if asked that that is his comfort zone or personal space whatever, but after enough times the guy will get the point. If that does not solve the issue do as I was taught, you get one warning, simply state nicely that if he cannot stop you will talk to HR, every company should have sexual harassment SOP's and do as you say. Now my biggest and last point is that I take an EXTREME exception to him and to Lauren who said that "men" take these jobs to scout out other males for a pickup. Seriously? I realize you have the right to free speech, but the only reason you have that is because our military fights for that right and as a military mom of 4 (yes you read that right - 4 ((2 Sailors, a soldier and a marine 2 girls and 2 boys)) my sons and daughters protect your sorry racist attitude towards gays. The next time you see a soldier, Sailor, Marine, or Airman, man up and thank them for their service and shake their hand, gay or not they fight for your right to say stupid petty things like you did on todays show. Reminds me of a joke I once read: A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan . One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU . One day the professor shocked the class when he came in he looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, 'God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes.' The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop.. Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, 'Here I am God. I'm still waiting.' It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him, knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold. The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked, stunned, and sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, 'What the heck is the matter with you? Why did you do that?' The Marine calmly replied, 'God was too busy today protecting American soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an idiot. So, He sent me.'

Written By Guilford College Athletics
GREENSBORO, N.C. - Junior Matt McCarthy collected a game-high 23 points and nine rebounds in Guilford College's 77-65 men's basketball win over Greensboro College Tuesday night in the Greensboro Coliseum. The victory marked the 300th men's basketball coaching win for Quakers' head coach Tom Palombo, his 200th at Guilford.
McCarthy drained four first-half three-pointers on the way to 16 points, which staked the Quakers to a 33-25 halftime lead. His fifth and final trifecta was part of a 12-2 Guilford run to start the second half that opened a 43-27 lead with 16:53 remaining.
Back-to-back three-pointers by Greensboro's Devan Gregory and Damian Dixon helped rally the Pride to within 59-55 with 6:05 left. That was as close as Greensboro would get, however, as the Quakers sealed the win with six Zachary Houston points and 10-for-10 free-throw shooting in the final three minutes.
Rookie Josh Spainhour made all eight free throws in the game on the way to a career-high 14 points. Classmate Alston Furr added 10, all in the second half, and fellow freshman Trever Hyatt finished with nine off the bench. Guilford shot 50 percent from the floor and held a 46-43 rebounding edge.
Gregory paced the Pride with 19 points, 13 in the second half. Dixon finished with 12 points and a game-high 12 boards in 27 foul-plagued minutes.
Now in his 17th season as a men's coach, Palombo becomes the 68th active NCAA Division III men's coach to reach 300 career victories. His career men's basketball coaching record stands at 300-147 in 16-plus seasons. He was 100-63 in six years as head men's coach at Defiance College before coming to Guilford in 2003. In 10-plus Guilford seasons, the 1989 Virginia Wesleyan College graduate owns a 200-84 mark, which stands second only to Jack Jensen's 386 wins in school history.
Palombo and his team return to action Wednesday versus visiting Averett University at 7:00 p.m.

(Submission #11)
An important yet largely unexplored area in HCI is how gender information affects trust building and performance in virtual settings. This paper empirically investigates gender differences in two media, video and Instant Messaging, while performing negotiation tasks. The primary results indicate that: (1) female pairs perceive higher levels of trust than male pairs when gen-der information about the partner is either seen via the video channel or mutually revealed via the IM channel, and (2) male/female pairs have better performance outcomes than female pairs. The results imply that knowing gender information may enable females to achieve high levels of trust leading to cooperation and information sharing in virtual settings. In addi-tion, the results suggest that gender diversity, as represented in male/female pairs, may be important to quality performance outcomes in collaborative work groups.

Notes from Spring Training
As many of you know, Spring Training got underway for the Royals Wednesday when Kansas City faced the Texas Rangers to open Cactus League play. The Royals fell in the opener, 6-1, but it was nice to officially get a game under the belt. Check out the box score and game summary here. We thought you might enjoy some notes from the game as well as some other club-related news…
Six Up, Six Down: Right-hander Luke Hochevar tossed a pair of perfect innings in Wednesday's exhibition contest. The Royals 2006 first-round draft selection pitched the third and fourth innings for Kansas City, retiring all six of the batters he saw as well as not letting a ball leave the infield. He then returned to the dugout where he ended up getting a little sick…you can read all about those details from **** Kaegel at royals.com. If Hochevar breaks camp with the Major League team, would you rather see him in the rotation or the bullpen?
Remembering NIU: Along with the Cactus League opener, the city of Surprise also hosted another special event Wednesday when they welcomed the men's baseball team from Northern Illinois University to participate in the Sixth Annual Coca-Cola Baseball Classic at Surprise Stadium. The Royals teamed up with the Texas Rangers and the tournament sponsors to extend the invitation to NIU – the university that was the site of a tragic-shooting incident earlier this month. Prior to Wednesday's game, the Royals and Rangers recognized the team the field and after the exhibition, manager Trey Hillman and Royals Hall of Famer Frank White met with the team. NIU also stepped onto a Surprise Complex field for practice Wednesday afternoon to prepare for the tournament that begins Thursday. We'll put a complete photo gallery from the NIU visit up on royals.com soon.
Webcasts a Global Hit: The Royals first venture into webcasting proved pretty successful. During the webcast Wednesday, new broadcaster Steve Stewart received more than 100 emails – 106 to be exact – to the firstname.lastname@example.com email address. We heard from fans all over the Kansas City area along with some Royals faithful around the world in places such as South Africa, Brazil, United Kingdom and Australia. All the Royals 2008 games – Spring Training, regular season and post season – will be available via webcasts. If you haven't set up a subscription yet, you can do so here.
Premium Tables = Sold Out: Ticket sales for the annual Welcome Home Luncheon – scheduled for April 9 at The Westin – we are sold out of the Premium tables (the ones with the players/coaches/alumni). Tables of 10 and individual seats are still available for the event. Thanks to all those who were quick to buy – this event is one of our favorite each year, so thanks for your support! If you haven't bought a ticket or a regular table yet, you can purchase it here on royals.com. We hope to see you there!
Banny Chats: We know you have been wanting to pick Brian Bannister's brain since he joined the team, so here is your chance! Banny is scheduled to be the next participant in the Royals Relay Chat Series on Tuesday, March 4 at 4 p.m (CST) from Spring Training camp. To join in on the chat, you have to register, which you can take care of right here, right now…if you haven't already!
Images from Spring Training: And…we'll wrap up this notes blog with some pictures from the Royals Spring opener. On Thursday, we have an intrasquad game and then Friday the team heads to Peoria, Ariz., to play the Padres, 2:05 p.m. (CST). Enjoy!
Miguel Olivo suited up to man the plate…

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- "We're on your side don't screw this up." That's what Senate Majority Harry Reid told DC Democratic Mayor Vincent Gray today as the capitol city's Mayor pressed him on the steps of the US Capitol to free up DC tax dollars from a federal appropriations bill at the center of the federal government shutdown.
Gray says there are about six billion local tax dollars in the federal appropriation that he needs to keep some 32,000 city workers on the job after a contingency fund runs out early next week.
Gray has been outspoken about the need for budget autonomy in D.C. On Tuesday afternoon, Gray sent out a series of tweets lashing out about the federal government shutdown before releasing a letter to President Obama, House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
READ THE LETTER: http://1.usa.gov/16PPDpq
At approximately 12:20 p.m., Gray tweeted a portion of the letter in five parts:
"In no other part of our country are Americans facing the loss of basical municipal/state service due to the fed. government shutdown...Families in Chicago, Cincinnati, and Las Vegas are not worried that their local govts won't be able to maintain basic services...like schools, police and fire protection, or trash collection -- and neither should families here in the District of Columbia...Once again our citizens find themselves innocent bystanders to a federal goverment shutdown. This is simply unconscionable. And it is long past time for the District's budget to be decoupled from the federal budget."
Last week, Gray criticized Democrats on Capitol Hill who opposed a Republican-backed move to approve city funding through December 15th while still refusing to pass an entire funding budget that would include Obamacare.
Republican Congressman Darrell Issa had been at a press conference with Gray and DC Congressional delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton urging Democrats to support releasing the DC funds.
Issa said it was not part of the GOP ploy to begin funding some parts of the budget or all the budget except for Obamacare.
Wednesday was day 9 of the shutdown of the federal government.

When I start the desktop I get a clear screen with three red circular logos (a road, possibly a power plug and an aircraft) appearing and disappearing in a looping sequence and nothing else.

Like all Gly Derm moisturizers, Gly Derm Body Lotion 10% ensures the user has silky smooth skin after each application. This lotion is medium strength in terms of its glycolic ingredients.

May 29, 2016
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democrats have brought gun control legislation to the Senate floor amid a threat from conservative Republican senators to use delaying tactics to prevent formal debate from even beginning.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid took the first procedural step to begin debate on Monday. He said Republicans owed relatives of the massacre of school children in Newtown, Conn., a vote on gun proposals, adding, "Shame on them."
The Nevada Democrat spoke shortly after receiving a letter from 13 conservative Republicans saying they would try to block Senate debate on the bill. The letter said gun curbs would violate the Second Amendment's right to bear arms, and the group indicated they would force Democrats to garner 60 votes to proceed -- a difficult hurdle in the 100-member chamber.

"Why study meteorology at the University of South Alabama?"
The University of South Alabama is a state university consisting of ten schools and colleges. Established in 1963, USA has steadily grown to an enrollment of approximately 15,000 students and nearly 800 faculty.
The meteorology program began in 1991 as a "Concentration in Geography" and graduated its first student in 1995. In 1999, the Alabama Commission on Higher Education officially granted a "Bachelor of Science in Meteorology." Meteorology is taught in the College of Arts and Sciences and is part of the Department of Earth Sciences, which also includes the disciplines of geography and geology.
Why study meteorology at the University of South Alabama?
Well, take a look at what we have to offer:
A Sound Curriculum
The University of South Alabama offers a curriculum designed to provide each student with a thorough understanding of the laws of atmospheric behavior. Each student is exposed to the latest techniques in weather forecasting and atmospheric remote sensing. As a preparation for a career in forecasting, the procedures and importance of disseminating weather information to the public and industry are stressed. Because of close ties with the National Weather Service, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Keesler Air Force Base, and major area industries, students have the opportunity to visit and observe meteorologists in the field and discuss the importance of weather with those who depend on accurate and timely weather information.
Students completing the meteorology curriculum will have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Meteorology. In order to prepare students for the many diverse areas of meteorological employment and future study, several tracks of study are offered that enable students to specialize in such areas as professional forecasting, broadcast, and graduate school preparation. (See our page on the MET Curriculum.)
Small Classes and Individual Attention
Although the University of South Alabama has grown tremendously since its inception in 1963, classes remain small and, contrary to many other universities, are taught only by the faculty. The small class size makes it possible for the faculty to provide individual attention. Students are closely advised and counseled as they progress through their meteorology curriculum with an emphasis on post graduate employment. This close supervision enables the faculty to direct each student toward an appropriate position in what has become a field with a promising job market. With the focus on global warming, our fragile environment, and the escalating costs of adverse and severe weather, meteorologists will play an important role in the scientific community over the next few decades.
For example, meteorologists are now found in many areas including the National Weather Service, the military, private and governmental research centers, teaching, county and state environmental agencies, private weather services, and the media.
Unique On-Campus Weather Forecasting Center
Established in January 1988, the Coastal Weather Research Center was designed to promote and support meteorological education and research through:
Meteorology workshops and seminars
A climatological and hurricane data archive
Research on the interaction of coastal and oceanic environments
The operation of a weather laboratory and information center
Through the interest and support of local and regional industry and the University community, the Weather Center has been able to effectively pursue its objectives.
A strong and active part of the Weather Center's operation is a state-of-the-art information center and weather laboratory. A variety of weather information, such as forecasts, severe weather alerts, and climate data is provided to businesses, industries, and municipal governments in Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi. The Computerized Weather Information Service transmits Weather Center and National Weather Service information to businesses 24 hours daily.
The Coastal Weather Research Center is located in the Mitchell Center on the main campus of the University of South Alabama. The Weather Center is a fully-operational weather forecast center, a unique facility for any college in the nation. It plays a key role in the meteorology program by providing a nucleus for students and faculty to gather and discuss weather and engage in research projects.
The presence of the Coastal Weather Research Center on the campus provides the meteorology student with the opportunity to experience weather forecasting and industrial meteorology first hand. An array of equipment and workstations allows each student meteorologist to have access to the same radar, satellite, and alphanumeric data that are used by the forecasting staff. In addition, students will have the chance to work at the Weather Center where they can combine classroom theory with actual weather forecasting applications.
Gulf Coast Weather: Experiencing a Natural Laboratory
The Mobile area and the Alabama Gulf Coast is a virtual weather laboratory where students can experience many of the weather phenomena studied in the classroom. What could be better than to study meteorology in Mobile, one of the wettest major cities in the United States with one of the highest thunderstorm frequencies in the nation! Then in the summer and fall, all eyes focus on the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean as hurricane season unfolds. Although direct hurricane landfalls on the Mobile area are rare, the region often receives fringe effects of Gulf hurricanes as far away as Texas. Because of this threat, hurricanes are taken seriously by the local residents and the business community and thus are given special attention in the meteorology curriculum, as are all forms of severe weather.

Much of the U.S. is under watch for cases of the deadly West Nile virus. Mississippi reported its second death of the year from WNV Thursday.
With the first human case reported this year in Lauderdale County, Meridian officials are taking precautions by increasing the number of times neighborhoods are sprayed.
"We're doing it every night right now," said chief administrative officer Tim Miller. "We've kind of increased that and what we're doing is trying to put out larvicide in some standing water areas to try to actually kill the larva before it actually hatches."
Miller says the truck often sprays in neighborhoods during the late afternoon hours because that's when more personnel are available, and more mosquitoes are present. He says the city will likely continue the increased spraying for at least another month.
A door hanger showing the educational message 'Fight the Bite!' is being made available to elected officials by the Mississippi State Department of Health, for distribution to the public.
The signs are also being made available to church and civic groups.

Dallas, TX (Sports Network) - O.J. Mayo and Chris Kaman combined for 48 points
to lead the Dallas Mavericks to a 107-101 win over the Washington Wizards on
Mayo poured in a game-high 25 points and Kaman added 23 points and eight
boards for the Mavericks, who snapped a three-game skid.
Elton Brand scored 11 and grabbed 12 rebounds and rookie Jae Crowder added 12
points off the bench in the victory.
Jordan Crawford scored 21 points and Kevin Seraphin added 16 points, five
rebounds and five assists for the Wizards, who fell to 0-7 on the season and
are the only team in the NBA without a win.
The Mavs led by 18 entering the fourth quarter, but the Wizards used a 25-10
run to pull within 95-92 with just over five minutes left.
A pair of Darren Collison free throws gave Dallas a six-point edge at 104-98,
but Cartier Martin buried a triple with 21.9 seconds left to pull within
Following a Dallas timeout, the Mavs took advantage of a Washington mental
lapse and threw it into Kaman, who was left alone at the top of the key. The
big man wasted several seconds before driving to hoop for a layup. Kaman was
fouled on the play and converted the subsequent free throw to push the lead
back to six with 17.8 ticks remaining.
Chris Singleton's 3-pointer was off target and the Mavs dribbled out the
remaining seconds to secure the win.
Dallas led 23-19 after the first quarter before pushing its spread to 63-45 at
the break.
The Mavs led by as many as 22 early in the third period and took an 85-67 lead
into the fourth.
Dallas shot 50 percent from the field despite converting just 3-of-11 from
beyond the arc ... Washington shot 48.1 percent, but turned it over 17 times.

Item # SRM0138
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Mountain Rear Derailleurs in stock than that.View Similar Products
SRAM X9 Rear Derailleur $0.00
The SRAM X9 10-Speed Rear Derailleur differs from the 9-speed version in a number of ways. First, the cage width and jockey wheels are sized in accordance with the narrower 10-speed chain. And secondly, it uses Exact Actuation Technology, borrowed from SRAM's road bike shifters, to deliver the most precise shifting possible by ensuring a perfect and consistent shift distance between each gear, all the way across the cassette.
And like the rest of SRAM's rear derailleurs, the X9 Rear Derailleur is designed for a direct cable path from the stop on the frame to the derailleur body, eliminating the typical loop of excess housing to make the junction. This more direct route to the derailleur reduces friction in the cable system and produces a lighter more consistent feel to the shifting.
At a glance, it may be tough to tell this X9 10-Speed Derailleur from the X0 model, but there are differences of course. For one, it's a few grams heavier. Only the short cage version uses carbon fiber for the outer cage plate. The medium and long versions use alloy for both cage plates. The inner and outer parallelogram linkages are also aluminum, with wide pivots to ensure linkage stability when the derailleur is under tension in the biggest cogs. This way, you'll get accurate shifting and quiet performance when pedaling. Also, where the X0 models use sealed cartridge bearings in the jockey wheels, this X9 Rear Derailleur uses sealed bushings. While they'll provide good service, they won't spin with the precision of the bearings on the X0 model, but you'll save a few bucks to spend elsewhere on your bike.
The SRAM X9 10-Speed Rear Derailleur is available with Grey, Red, or White accents and is designed to work with SRAM's 10-speed 11-32 and 11-36 cassettes. It can be paired with one, two, or three chainrings. To that end, there are three cage length options -- Short (DH/single ring), Medium (2x10), and Long (3x10). The mid length cage is suited for use with hardtails and single-pivot suspension designs with minimal chain growth throughout the range of travel. The long cage model can handle the greater chain growth potential that many full suspension trail bikes exhibit. If in doubt, go with the long cage version.
- Exact Actuation 1:1 ratio means cable movement is equal to derailleur movement, thus providing reliability, easy setup, and effortless actuation
- Direct Route Technology uses the shortest cable routing possible for reduced friction and weight
- Carbon cage keeps weight down without sacrificing shifting performance
- Smooth, freely spinning pulleys keep parasitic drag to a minimum
- Multiple colors let you dress your little pony up

Great Derailleur
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This derailleur is great. It is pretty lightweight and shifts very well. I've been riding it for the last two years and I've fallen on it many many times. It still shifts great and is really easy to tune when need be.
Good all around
I run the x9 on all my bikes, they shift well and I dont feel like puking if I break one on the trail (X0 or XX). Paired with a X9 shifters they do what you ask them to and last!
A little X0 and a little X7...
The X9 is a nice step above the X7 but I'd spend a few quid more for the X0 stuff as the difference over X7 isn't as substantial. These are great and look the part but not enough better than X7 to justify much of a premium in my opinion. Had these on my last niner hardtail and they worked great.

Marine helo fleet overhauled after crash killed 7
Report says broken, missing lights pervasive
After a mid-air helicopter collision at night killed seven Marines flying with a Camp Pendleton squadron a year ago, the Marine Corps secured funding to overhaul its new fleet of upgraded Cobra and Huey helicopters to replace malfunctioning and missing lighting, U-T San Diego has learned.
Today the Marine Corps still allows pilots to fly the attack helicopters without working rotor blade tip lights, but a more reliable system and the addition of infrared position lights for new models of the UH-1 and AH-1 have been funded, said Capt. Richard Ulsh, a Marine Corps spokesman.
The U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Research Development and Engineering Command is making prototypes. Installation should begin March 2014, Ulsh said.
The investigation into the Feb. 22, 2012, crash during combat training near Yuma revealed no firm conclusions about the cause. But the report released to U-T San Diego this week through a Freedom of Information Act request highlighted the lack of working rotor blade tip lights on virtually all of the Marine Corps's fleet of H-1 helicopters, which are made by Bell Textron.
It also noted a lack of infrared position lights on the upgraded four-blade versions being phased in. Finally, a procedural anomaly allows aviators to keep flying Hueys and Cobras at night with non-functioning rotor blade lights, although a Marine Corps CH-46 helicopter or MV-22 tilt-rotor with the same problem is grounded, according to the June 13, 2012, "JAGMAN," or manual of the judge advocate general investigation report.
The rotor lights trace a visible arc in the sky, marking the path of the turning blade tips to help pilots orient themselves. Infrared lighting invisible to the naked eye helps pilots in combat track each other at night when they don't want to broadcast their location to the enemy.
Bell submitted information for the investigation but did not see the final report, said Gregory Hubbard, a Bell spokesman, referring questions about its conclusions to the Marine Corps.
"Bell Helicopter takes our responsibility to the safety of the service men and women who fly on our aircraft very seriously. We devote considerable time and effort to ensure we are providing the safest, most reliable aircraft available and work with our Marine customer to incorporate the latest safety equipment and standards to continually improve the operations of all our products," he said in a statement.
The helicopters with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 469 collided about two hours after sunset, at 7:48 p.m in the southeastern corner of Imperial County near Glamis.
The AH-1W Cobra flew into the back of the UH-1Y at a position corresponding to 7:30 on a clock, plowing into its transmission at a speed of about 50 knots. The night sky was illuminated by a bright flash that erupted into a fireball. Then burning pieces of the helicopters plunged to the desert floor, instantly killing all seven Marines aboard.
The aircraft were participating in the semi-annual Scorpion Fire training exercise. The Huey and its co-pilot also had a second mission, a Night Flying Instructor sortie checked by a Yuma instructor pilot.
The Marine Corps spent four months investigating before submitting findings to the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing headquartered in San Diego. With no survivors, there was no firm explanation why the helicopters flown by experienced pilots collided, other than the lead aircraft and wingman simply did not see each other.
Adding to the mystery was the fact that both helicopters did have some visible lighting on takeoff, though no eyewitnesses saw any on the rotor blades. One even turned on its searchlight after lifting off from a refueling point about five minutes before the crash

FREDERICK, Md. (WUSA) - Cheryl Deener can't fight back the tears as she talks about the bullying she says her 15-year old son Preston has had to endure.
She says she "don't remember schools every being this bad, ever."
Preston says there have been four incidents of bullying so far this year and he has no idea why he's been a target.
Preston says just today three kids - who attend Brunswick High School with him - chased him and attacked him.
A Hagerstown TV station was interviewing him at the time and caught part of the incident on camera.
"I ran and ran and ran, and I dropped my book bag and ran to an administrative official because that's what I am supposed to do" Preston said.
Michael Doerrer, a spokesman for Frederick County Public Schools, say they are investigating - even though this latest incident was off school property.
He added the district has a zero tolerance policy, and they "take allegations very seriously and it's something that we aggressively and proactively follow up on."
She says the district needs to enforce their policies.
Deener met with school officials today and figure out what happens from here.
She's worried for her son's safety but pointed out - her son isn't the only victim of bullying.
Preston organized a homecoming dance because he wasn't initially allowed to go his school's Homecoming after he got into a fight with a bully.
While school officials ended up allowing him to attend homecoming, this special homecoming dance will go forward.
Preston hopes it sends a message that they are taking a stand and bullying needs to stop.

Transcending short-lived fashion trends, these fabrics complement every décor, making a distinctive impression in every home. Specially engineered yarns spun from natural fibers produce heirloom-quality products with a soft hand, flowing drape and an untreated clear finish. Woven on antique shuttle looms, handled by seasoned artisans more than fifty times, these fabrics evoke richness and resilience reminiscent of hand-woven textiles. Going on thirty years, customers have been enchanted by the beauty and comfort of Brahms Mount fabrics. With the company poised to deliver exciting new product lines and increase production, Brahms Mount remains devoted to fulfilling the desires of an expanding clientele, as well as to its founding vision—American artisans weaving the finest natural fibers to deliver luxurious fabrics of superior quality and signature design.
Fans of American-made products will want to keep Brahms Mount on their radar. Since 1983 this company has been producing blankets, throws and towels from their Hallowell, Maine facility. And, new for 2013, they've also opened a flagship store in Freeport. The company's president, David Kaufman, sat down with us to answer some questions about the history of Brahms Mount.
Name/Title: David Kaufman/President
When did you open Brahms Mount? Brahms Mount opened its doors in Hallowell in 1983. In 2013, inspired by growing sales and a strong made in America movement, Brahms Mount opened the brand's flagship retail store in Freeport, Maine. Ideally located in an 18th century building, said to be the birthplace of Maine, immediately to the right of Freeport's famous L L Bean flagship store.
What was the inspiration for opening the store? Brahms Mount, in our 30th year, deserved a flagship store to showcase our beautiful line.
Where do are source your merchandise? We are manufacturers of luxury top of bed textiles including blankets, throws and towels using all natural fibers. We weave cotton, linen, alpaca and washable merino wool. Brahms Mount still manufactures these items in a historic granite mill in Hallowell, Maine. In addition to the textiles of Brahms Mount, the retail store also stocks finely crafted home goods. The store will only stock items designed and produced domestically. The goal is to help grow the businesses of other artisans in Maine as well as others located throughout the USA.
What is the current best selling item? Linen throws and towels - our customers love the unique hand, function, durability, and sophisticated appearance of Brahms Mount linen products. Brahms Mount currently claims to be the only textile mill in the USA weaving bedding made of linen, a truly amazing fiber.
What is YOUR favorite item? Cotton/Alpaca herringbone throw due to the incredibly soft hand. It is a classic herringbone pattern with a 3" scale made using the Brahms Mount cotton as well as alpaca yarn, a long, hollow, wool fiber that traps cold air and increases body temperature.
Other than your own, what is your favorite store? Brown Goldsmiths in Freeport is locally owned and operated and a terrific community supporter that offers exquisite custom jewelry.

The actor Hurt Hatfield you have down as being buried in Abbeystrowry Cemetery in Skibbereen and that is wrong. After looking twice to fulfil a photo request here I did a fast google search on line only to find her was never near skibbereen. He was cremated and spread on the garden of his house. I have uploaded a photo so you can see on his page.

re: Jean Carmen Dillow
In addition to "Healthy, Wealthy & Dumb" (1938) as Marge, a gold-digging widow, Jean was in "Yes, We Have No Bonanza" (1939), as a "singing sister", and archive footage with her was included in "The Three Stooges Follies" (1974); "The Three Stooges Greatest Hits" (1997) and "The Three Stooges 75th Anniversary Special (2003).
According to the Internet Movie Database (IMDb), Jean was in 21 films from 1933 to 1953. She was also featured in "Hollywood on Parade" No. B-13", as a 1934 WAMPAS Baby Star. Her best-known film appearance was in the 1937 Republic Pictures serial "The Painted Stallion" (In which she was billed as Julia Thayer - the only time that name was used in films). She portrayed "The Rider" an Indian Princess. Her horsemanship was notable in the film. Earlier, she performed on radio, and on the stage as a dancer in Fanchon and Marco dance reviews.
She was born Jean Carmean April 7, 1913, in Portland, Oregon. The movie studios deleted the second "a" from her surname. She married Barrett C. Dillow. They had a son, Guy H. ("Buzzie") Dillow, born November 6, 1951 in New York, N.Y. Guy married Mary W. Ginty, and they had a daughter Katherine Ann Dillow (B. July 7, 1978)[Now married to Mark J. Komejko], and a son Barrett E. Dillow (B. Oct. 29, 1980), Her son Guy, died at age 34 on November 16, 1985 in Greenwich, Conneticut. I have tried on numerous times to telephone or write to Mary , Katherine and Barrett, but they have never replied to my requests for information. It's believed that Mary Dillow and Jean had "relationship issues".
Jean produced and directed "The Pawn", which starred her son Guy. The film took years to complete, and a voice actor had to be hired to dub Guy's voice, because he had matured, and his voice deepened.
Thayer/Carmen also did some plays, and the Internet Broadway Database (IBDb) has her listed as a replacement in the role of "June Stanley" in the Monty Woolley comedy "The Man That Came To Dinner", that ran from October 16, 1939 to July 12, 1941 in New York City, N.Y. It was not known when she started as the replacement for the June Stanley character.
Jean Carmen Dillow had moved to Charleston County, South Carolina. She is said to have broken a leg while jumping on a bed, and the leg was not properly set. She returned to the hospital, and while there, suffered a heart attack, and died in Charleston, S.C. August 26, 1993. This was confirmed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control May 15, 2015. South Carolina does not provide death certificate information to non-family members.
( Below gleaned from Jean's Co-Executor's family accounts)
[From Pat Carmean Phillips, who was married to Jean's nephew John L. Carmean (Who died in 1991). She has remarried. - Her children, son John K. Carmean and daughter Cindy Carmean Rose were Co-Executors of Jean's will]
I was married to Jean's nephew and we had two children. My children were coexecutors of her will. As was said she broke her leg while on her bed...trying to kill a bug that was in her bedroom. (Funny that it said she was jumping on her bed. I guess she must have been, while trying to get the bug). When she returned to the hospital, she had surgery but died soon after from heart failure. I had spoken to her prior to surgery and she was not confident that she was going to survive surgery.
Her estate auction was not held at her home but was held at Roumillat's facilities. They did an excellent job cataloging all her belongings. Clothes, household items, photographs, movie items etc. At the time a movie was filming in Charleston so even some people attending the auction ( were working on the film) that had seen Aunt Jean's movie memorabilia in Roumillat's display window in their downtown location came to the auction to bid on items.
The auction covered several days as Aunt Jean had a lot of items. The auction wasn't held until two months after her passing away. During that time my son spent two months in her home going through everything which was a joy to him as his degree is in cinematography. The majority of her art collection and movie memorabilia has been kept by our family.
We have her original makeup kit from when she did "The Painted Stallion" serial. She was responsible for doing her own make up at the time. She would tell us how she did all her own riding in the series. And we have an old movie clapboard from one of her movies. (Made of cloth and wood.)
Aunt Jean was cremated in Charleston and her ashes brought back to Florida. At a later date her ashes were spread out over the waters of the Atlantic. Aunt Jean loved to take cruises and went back and forth to Europe many times by cruise ships so we thought this to be a resting place she would desire.
Aunt Jean spoke fluent Italian and would converse in Italian with my parents when she'd come to visit. She'd spend many months at a time living in Italy because she loved the country and the people living there. Some of The Pawn was filmed there.
Main thanks to Patricia Carmean Phillips and her son John K. Carmean and daughter Cindy Carmean Rose for all the "family information" and caring to contribute to the extended accuracy of this biography.

Frederick Douglass 6110193
I was just wondering where you got the birth date for Frederick Douglass. It would be interesting to find this out because in a class that I'm talking on Slavery and the Abolition, Frederick Douglass is the person we're studying and his works say he didn't know his birth date. Are there public records for what you've put on the area for his birth date?
Thanks for putting his memorial up on Find A Grave.

Jean Carmen Dillow
Hi Cinnamon,
I'm a Three Stooges researcher who is trying to complete information on Jean Carmen,(Married name Dillow),who was in two Three Stooges shorts. What additional information, if any, do you have on her? I have a call in to the South Carolina History department of the SC Public Library, who is checking for an obit on Jean, and any other information. If they do find anobit, they will mail it to me, along with ordering information on a Death Certificate.

Summary:Three weeks ago, just before the lunar eclipse, American teenager Regina and her family moved into a charming old house in the remote Spanish countryside. Since then, nothing has been the same. Day by day, a strange force seems to be pulling the family apart and Regina is the only one brave enough to search for answers. However, she is about to discover the answers to all her questions lie deep within the walls of their new home: something has been waiting here for her family's arrival; something ancient and wicked; something looking for retribution; a force as bottomless and hungry as the dark itself.

As the prep football season reaches its midway point, a few things are certain.
One, is the Buckeye 8 is pretty good. And two, because it's pretty good there are going to be some quality matchups on tap down the stretch.
Another one of those will kickoff at 12:30 Saturday afternoon at Nelson Field where the unbeaten Big Reds will finish a four-game home standing by welcoming once-beaten Indian Creek.
It's been a memorable season so far for Bellaire. A thrilling 44-42 come-from-behind triumph at Steubenville Catholic to open the season helped spark three straight home victories against John Marshall, East Liverpool and Buckeye Local.
''To be at 4-0 is great for us,'' Big Reds coach Jose Davis said. ''I can't say we're surprised. We just didn't know when the talent we have was going to gel.''
Bellaire is leading the Ohio Division V, Region 17 computer points and is ranked 10th in the latest Associated Press poll.
But it's early in the season, Davis cautioned, and he he said a lot of work remains.
''That's what it's all about, making sure you make progress week by week,'' he said. ''The staff and the kids have worked hard in tweaking things here and there.''
Saturday's contest against the Redskins marks a trio of contests against teams with a combined mark of 11-1. Next week, the Big Reds will visit rival St. Clairsville before hitting the road to tangle with Harrison Central a week later.
The rest of the schedule includes Edison, Union Local and the battle for SPARKY at Martins Ferry on Oct. 26.
''We liked our talent coming in,'' Davis said. ''And, I think as we've went along, we've had some pleasant surprises every week.
''We've had different guys stepping up here and there and being able to have multiple guys doing different thing is huge.''
Still, Davis knows there is plenty of room for improvement.
''We need to be more consistent and more efficient on both sides of the ball,'' he said. ''Defensively, we'll get two, three or four good drives. I look back to the John Marshall and East Liverpool games. We got to the fourth of fifth drives and we got lackadaisical.
Indian Creek coach Andrew Connor said he's seen all of Bellaire's games in person. He thought last week's 45-16 Buckeye 8-opening victory against Buckeye Local was Bellaire's best performance of the season.
''They're maturing, playing better and with more confidence,'' he said. ''They're clicking on all cylinders.''
Bellaire is averaging nearly 41 points per game thanks to an offensive unit led by quarterback Spencer Badia.
Badia, already a junior, has thrown for 1,040 yards and 11 touchdowns this season. Nick Patrone has been the beneficiary for the most part, hauling in 27 catches for 365 yards and three TDs. Kenny Hess and Quinton Crosby also have 10 or more catches.
''Their offense is kind of the elephant in the room,'' Connor said. ''They do a great job of spreading the wealth around to different receivers.''
Nick Maffe paces Bellaire's rushing attack. He has 242 yards and five touchdowns this season and is averaging 6.5 yards per carry.
''One thing that gets overlooked about Bellaire is something we haven't missed,'' Connor said. ''Not only are they much better defensively, but they're athletic and create a lot of turnovers.''
The Redskins struggled last week against St. Clairsville, with special teams meltdowns key.
''We know in our heart of hearts we are capable of playing better,'' Connor said.
Davis has no doubt.
''That score (last week) was not indicative of the type of team they have,'' he said. ''I think they are pretty balanced. They are fast and physical up front.''
Alex Young guides the Redskins' offense.
''He's transitioned well from wideout to quarterback and each game he's gotten better,'' Connor said.

Are you running your home's air conditioning system a lot on these hot summer days? Are you in an area, like many, that's suffering moderate to severe drought? Do you glaze over at the gas pump as you try not to think about the hard-earned money you're funneling to the oil and gas companies?
The need to be energy-efficient is all around us now—and nearly inescapable.
But what does this have to do with climate change, or global warming, or whatever you want to call it?
While there's no ironclad proof that the more extreme weather patterns we've been experiencing are linked to global warming, the possibility that we've been pumping too much greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere has become all too apparent to many.
NASA climatologist James Hansen, who has been warning about global warming for decades, has released a statistical analysis concluding that the recent extreme heat and drought being experienced in the United States and other parts of the world absolutely must be the result of man-made global warming. (Short summary: The statistical probability that it's not global warming is somewhere in the vicinity of fairy land.) Add to that Greenland's ice sheet recently showing inexplicable signs of melt—and if those mile-high glaciers slip into the sea, we're in a heap of trouble.
Still not convinced? Your neighbors may be. The New York Times reports that belief in climate change now crosses party lines—if just barely—and that's likely the result of the scorching temperatures and drought.
According to a survey conducted in July by the University of Texas, 70 percent of Americans believe the climate is changing, compared to 65 percent in March, and only 15 percent say it isn't. Party affiliation continues to divide public opinion, but today most Republicans, 53 percent, believe in climate change, as do 72 percent of independents and 87 percent of Democrats.
Efficiency is Required, Regardless
Whether or not you believe in man-made climate change, there is no escaping the fact that the age of energy efficiency is upon us.
Your home's overworked A/C system can be regulated with a programmable thermostat to trim your energy costs while you're not home and make it comfortable when you are. Or you can get a wireless, communicating thermostat that you can program and operate from a smartphone. Or get a thermostat that learns your patterns, like the one from Nest.
Drought can be battled several ways to save water in your house, from hot water recirculators to pool pump regulators to low-flow fixtures and automated irrigation systems. And as it turns out, just saving electricity in your home can help save enormous amounts of water used to cool power plants. Better for that water to serve your home.
Electric vehicles (EVs) and other more efficient cars will eventually make inroads on the old gas-combustion engine, potentially freeing us from the monopolies of the oil and gas companies and the influence of foreign regimes. EVs will soon arrive en masse, and they could be the biggest game-changers ever.
In addition, more and more people are investing in solar systems to produce their own electricity or heat hot water from the sun.
We also have good energy monitoring and management systems from companies like Powerhouse Dynamics and Eragy. Home control systems like those from Crestron, Savant, and Vantage add energy monitoring and energy management options. And similar systems from HAI, Eaton, Nexia, Honeywell and others are available. Lutron enables effective energy control through its lighting and motorized shading systems. And Somfy controls lighting, shading and thermostats through its TaHomA system.
That's Just the Beginning
Companies like Panasonic, Samsung and Toshiba have shown off energy storage and management systems at big shows like CES, and Toshiba has promised a smart-grid-tied system by the end of this year.
In the near future, our homes could have their own energy producing and storage systems, electric vehicle charging, smart appliances that operate when it's most economical, devices that turn on and off automatically—all governed by an intelligent and automated energy management/home control system that responds to our needs and send us alerts only when we need them.
With all the efficiency needs that are being foisted upon us—environmentally and economically—our homes will be smarter for it. That's one good thing.
Here's a nifty side benefit: It will go a long way toward curbing climate change, too.

Calatrava's Soaring Pavilion Spreads its Wings to Create Shade
The Milwaukee Art Museum originally took up two floors of space in a 1957 building designed by Eero Saarinen as a war memorial. Then in 1975 a larger space was created for the museum by David Kahler, who connected the building to the city with a concrete bridge.

Sandy group talking rebuilding
(Page 3 of 3)
"Twelve million dollars — that's not a lot of money," Yeoman said. "… If that ocean is at a certain level, every bit of water in the surrounding area is going to go to that same level, and there's nothing you can do about it. So you got to take that as a reality. That would cost you a hundred trillion dollars to try to stop the ocean. You can't do that. And so you got to look at how you're going to spend $12 million and minimize the damage."
The committee is due to submit a plan to use Bellmore and Merrick's $12.1 million by next spring. It will hold its next meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 2 at the golf course clubhouse at Merrick Road Park.
Richard Landau, whose house is a block from AcQua and, like the restaurant, suffered serious damage during Hurricane Sandy, said after the meeting, "We're talking 11 months since the last hurricane. Oct. 29 is right around the corner. They're talking about doing stuff by March. What if we have another hurricane before then?"

Our community suffered the most the days after the storm because of no heat and no electricity. I hope this committee uses the funds to help us endure less suffering after the next storm. There is absolutely no way to prevent us from getting hit with the next storm but we can prepare. Helping us get back to our homes the day after the storm. Helping to get to the people that stayed and weathered the storm. Allowing electric to be turned back on within a day or two. What we endured after the storm was a crying shame. Days for the gas meters to be checked. No electric for days because the transformers in the front of the homes, on the telephone polls, need a simple switch turned on with a long yellow rubber pole. Days of unnecessary suffering. The best was when homeowners were ripped off and had to pay hundreds of dollars because they were told they had to have a certificate, from the fire department, in order to get electric to their home. It was a crazy disturbing night mare and it escalated out of control when the Town building department employees walked the street trying to enter homes to get people to get permits for the repair work that needed to be done. Crying shame. Hope we use the funds to be prepared and organized in the event of the next storm. A step by step outline telling each company/department what needs to be done in order for the public not to suffer more than 2 days following the next storm. Wishing this newly created committee the very best and thank you for your service. Nancy Coletto
