Admissions Process for Adult Learners
"By enrolling at FDU, I'm showing my sons that when you're committed to investing the time and effort, anything is possible."
There are few fields in education that hold greater promise for America's future than STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics). In his current job as the webpage developer for Passaic County Community College's STEM Program, David Hernandez is helping to encourage a new generation of students to excel in this vital field.
"I'm in charge of the STEM Innovation webpage and I also design all the related advertising, marketing and graphics for the program," says David. His office overflows with vivid samples of the engaging promotional materials that he has created.
David's academic path reflects his own interest in several STEM-related fields. He has earned not one, but two, associate degrees from Passaic County Community College: an A.S. in Business Administration with a concentration in Computer Science and an A.A.S. in Information Systems with a concentration in Web Development.
Currently enrolled in Fairleigh Dickinson University's Bachelor of Science in Information Technology, David is pursing concentrations in information technology and computer forensics as part of his degree studies. He hopes someday to work in cyberforensics and corporate security. Read more...

Meet David Hernandez...
David's family immigrated to the United States from El Salvador, Central America, when he was a teenager so his father could pursue his ministry. "Our family always valued education as the best path to advancement," says David. "I've always worked hard to do well in my studies."
As a student at Passaic County Community College, David was a member of Phi Theta Kappa, the national honor society for two-year colleges. "And my wife, Ninfa, is an FDU graduate. She and I want show our sons the difference that an education can make in their lives."
David's oldest son is now enrolled in college. "I kid him that he has it easy," laughs David. "But I'm glad that he's able to be a full-time student. He's studying to be a journalist. My other son is like me and loves classes in STEM. Ninfa and I are really proud of them both.
"I always think about how my studies can help create more opportunities and give my family a better life," says David. "I'm not doing this for me — but for them."


text: I think Kerry's "marrying up" answer cuts two ways. On the one hand, it was a funny way to try to acknowledge and parry an uncomfortable issue. But to the extent that the Teresa Heinz Kerry question remains in the public eye, it is very bad for John Kerry. No doubt about it, Heinz Kerry is a problem–embarrassing and off-putting in any number of ways. If people are truly interested in these personal issues, Kerry is in trouble. I suspect that this year, issues matter even more than usual. But if this debate somehow brings character back, it could make a difference for the president.

Juan Diaz on The Brandon Rios Beef, Comeback, More
By Chris Robinson
It's been a while since former lightweight champion Juan 'Baby Bull' Diaz has scored a big victory under boxing's spotlight. Having gone 0-2 in his most recent fights, unanimous decision losses to Juan Manuel Marquez last summer and to Paulie Malignaggi in December of 2009, Diaz has flown under the radar with little word on his ring future being said.
But when I spotted the 27-year old last month at the 'Action Heroes' event inside of the MGM Grand headlined by Marcos Maidana's war with Erik Morales, Diaz looked to be in solid shape and had great spirits about him. Sure enough, during a recent conversation with the Houston, Texas fighter, he revealed to me that he has been making some moves for a comeback some time this summer.
"I've been working out for the past two or three months," said Diaz. "Just trying to get in shape and now that I feel I have achieved that goal and I am looking at possibly fighting sometime in July. Nothing's for sure yet. We are speaking to a few promoters, looking at different people who have fights coming up."
Diaz went 33-0 with 17 knockouts to kick off his career, showing endless energy, stamina and will in rolling over formidable foes such as Jose Miguel Cotto, Julio Diaz, and Acelino Freitas, among others. But he was caught off guard by a motivated Nate Campbell in March 2008 inside of a bullring in Cancun, Mexico, and suffered his first setback.
Dating back to that loss, Diaz has gone 2-4 in his last six fights and he admits that he needed to regroup.
"Yeah, it's definitely been, I guess you could call it a roller coaster ride," he continued. "With my last two fights, big fights against Marquez and Malignaggi, I've been up and down between winning and losing. I had a year to kind of relax and think about things."
Diaz bounced back from the Campbell loss with a solid victory over game Michael Katsidis that saw him out hustle the Australian over twelve fast-paced rounds. It put him back in the picture but danger was just around the corner in the form of a clash with Mexico City's Juan Manuel Marquez, who had recently moved up from the jr. lightweight class.
The first Diaz-Marquez clash was an absolute thriller, named 2009's Fight of the Year, as Diaz stormed out of the gates while putting on tremendous pressure and dictating the early pace of the fight. But Marquez, always one to show his brilliance against an aggressive foe, remained patient and worked his way back into the fight, eventually stopping Diaz in chilling fashion in registering a 9th round knockout.
To this day, Diaz admits that it was that defeat that has hurt him the most.
"I would have to say the hardest loss was to Marquez," he admitted. "Even though the first loss of my career was bad, it wasn't as bad as the Juan Manuel Marquez fight. Because in that fight I put all my heart and soul into that fight, the first fight, and I believed in my heart that I was going to win. I believed it so bad that nobody could tell me 'No' that night but obviously he did and that's what really hurt me. I took it the hardest."
When looking at the current boxing landscape, there is one foe who figures to be a perfect foil for Diaz's non-stop attack; WBA lightweight champion Brandon 'Bam Bam' Rios. The two men recently could be found exchanging some heated words with one another via their personal Twitter accounts and the fight seems to make perfect sense if Diaz can get a tune up fight or two under his belt.
Giving his take on Rios feud, Diaz cleared the air of their little online spat.
"I didn't necessarily call him out. He went on my Twitter and he wrote me a direct message, saying that I wasn't ready for him, especially not now, and that he was on the top of his weight division. So I responded to that message and said that I was back, I was going to teach him a lesson, and I was just letting him borrow my belt right now," Diaz said resoundingly.
What's impressive about Diaz is that his work ethic has never been confined to just the sport of boxing, as he has shown himself to have a certain versatility and business savvy about himself over the years. While boxing is still a passion, the modest Diaz is setting up shop in Texas for when his days in the ring come to a close.
"Right now my brother and I have a construction company and a transportation business that we are managing right now," Diaz added. "I also got accepted into law school and I'm hoping that maybe I will get deferred for about a year because I want to give this boxing one more year and a half and really try and become champion. I'm focused on those three other aspects of my life, which is construction, transportation, and hopefully law school."
But for now it's only boxing. And a fighter as willing and exciting as Diaz is always going to be a welcome addition back on the scene when he is ready. Although he hasn't said much in recent months, Diaz admits that he has been keeping a close eye on the sport and that his hunger has been building.
"Definitely. Every fight that comes on, I get inspired. Every fight. Friday Night Fights, Showtime fights, HBO fights, I've seen them and they just inspire me to go in there the next day and just hit the gym hard and go all out."
Does anyone know if Diaz is still with Golden Boy or will be fighting under the Golden Boy Banner? Because if that is the case then this fight probably is not going to happen.Comment by danny711 on 05-20-2011
I like the baby bull but Rios is right. He doesn't want any. Diaz doesn't have the power or style to keep Rios off him. His best bet would be to box.Comment by Lorily on 05-20-2011
Damn... what is it with fighters and twitter wars in the last year? I think it just makes them seem kindof 'high schoolish'.Comment by mercadojglb on 05-20-2011
Gatti and Ward all over again :banana:Comment by JoeDaWg on 05-20-2011
Would be a hell of a fight, hopefully it gets done.Post a Comment - View More User Comments (13)

Although I guess a lot of other people are, since there were numerous reports circulating Tuesday that the star, free-agent cornerback was �very close� to a deal with the Patriots.
I didn�t know where Talib was going to end up, but I didn�t think it was going to be New England, as anyone reading the Providence Journal online the past few days would know.
�It seems likely,� I posted on Monday, �that some team will pony up more money, over more years, for Talib than the Patriots will be willing to pay.�
On Tuesday, when many news outlets were reporting that Talib was �close� to re-signing with the Patriots, I posted that there was �lots of interest in Talib around the league.�
I wrote that I�d heard Talib was asking for more than $9 million a year on a deal of at least three years and that �may � and, arguably, should be � more than the Patriots are willing to pay.�
As it turned out, Talib made a major score, signing a reported (by ESPN) 6-year deal with Denver worth $57 million, of which � and this is the truly important part � $26 million is guaranteed.
Good for him.
Not good for the Patriots, whose defensive deficiencies in recent seasons have cost them two Super Bowls, when they couldn�t stop Eli Manning and the Giants in the final minutes, and three AFC championship games, going back to the �06 season, when they couldn�t hold a 21-3 lead and lost in Indianapolis to Peyton Manning and the Colts, 38-34.
But, while disappointing to Patriots� fans frustrated by back-to-back losses in the last two AFC title tilts, it shouldn�t be surprising.
And be happy for Talib, who now gets to play with his good buddy, Wes Welker, in Denver.

Saturday, June 1, 2013
DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) -- Tiger Woods calls it "a rough day" in the wind at Muirfield Village.
Woods posted his highest nine-hole score as a professional when he shot an 8-over 44 on the back nine during Saturday's third round of the Memorial Tournament.
After starting his round on the 10th hole, he made two double bogeys, a triple bogey and a bogey on his first nine without a birdie. He regrouped to birdie two holes on the front side but closed with a bogey for a 79 that left him at 8-over 224 and near the bottom of the 73-player field.
His previous worst nine-hole score was a 43 on three occasions, most recently at Quail Hollow in 2010.

We are very excited that ex Levante Manager, Lucas Alcaraz, will be visiting Belfast to deliver a clinic open to all players & coaches. The clinic will take place at Cregagh Sports Club on Sunday 28 February. The Irish FA will also award 5 CPD credits for coaches in attendance.
Born in Granada, Andalusia, Alcaraz started coaching with Granada CF in 1995 at the age of 29, achieving two top-four finishes in the third division in his three-year spell but failing to promote in the playoffs. In the following two seasons he managed in the same category and region, with Almeria CF and Dos Hermanas CF.
In June 2000, 34-year-old Alcaraz signed for Recreativo de Huelva helping the oldest club in Spain return to La Liga after an absence of 23 years in 2002 behind champions Atletico Madrid and Racing de Santander. Even though Recre returned to the second level immediately, they also managed to reach the final of the Copa del Rey, losing 0–3 to RCD Mallorca.
Alcaraz then moved to Racing Santander before spending the following two seasons in the second division, helping Real Murcia get promoted in 2007. He also enjoyed a spell at Recreativo.
In the 2009 summer Alcaraz signed with another team in his native Andalusia, Cordoba CF (second level), helping the side finish tenth in his first season. In late June 2011, he re-joined Almería – now called Unión Deportiva.
Alcaraz had a short spell in Greece with Aris Thessaloniki FC before returning to his country and Granada, with the club now in the main category.
Lucas Alcaraz was appointed at Levante UD on 21 October 2014, to which he remained until October 2015.
'Tactics in Professional Football...Why Not Kids?' will be Lucas Alcaraz topic he will focus on. The event will take place at Cregagh Sports Club (Orangefield OB FC) on Sunday 28 February from 12-3pm finishing with a Q&A. The event will provide a class room session from 12pm & is open to all coaches. A practical session will then take place on the pitch from 1.30pm (using 2000-2003 players). Orangefield OB FC would also like to invite you to stay in their club house & enjoy the live Sky Sports game with a drink. We thank them for their hospitality.

Local youth football club, TW Braga, are delivering the first Frame Football Section in Northern Ireland. Saturday 23 January will see the first meeting of the Belfast based club. This will take place at Loughside Recreation Centre from 1-2pm.
Frame Football was first launched in England in 2013 and provides the opportunity for children who are unable to walk unaided but do not require a wheelchair to play football. Many of these children use a walker style frame for mobility. These children cannot play in mainstream football because of the safety regulations. Frame Football brings them together to play an adapted game that suits their needs.
The IFA believe in creating opportunities for those with a disability to play the beautiful game. Let Them Play is the strapline of the new Youth Strategy and this Frame Football Programme will enable those children to play the game.
DJ and Let Them Play supporter, Colin Murray, recently raised over £5,000 for the establishment and development of Frame Football in Northern Ireland through the '101 Mankini's' walk on Boxing Day.
This money will be spent initially on starting a pilot Frame Football club in Belfast in partnership with TW Braga. In particular, it will go towards facilities, coaching fees, promotion within the disability sector and training kit for players.
Irish FA Development Manager for Disability Football, Alan Crooks, is very positive about this new initiative in Northern Ireland. He commented, "Frame Football is a great example of the how 'Let Them Play' is having a positive impact on the kids in Northern Ireland. We hope that with the awareness raised and support from Colin Murray that Frame Football will take off in our wee country."
TW Braga Academy Director, Tim Wareing, added, 'We are so grateful to Colin Murray for his fantastic achievement of raising valuable funds & to everyone who donated. This will insure Frame Football kicks off strong in Northern Ireland. It's a wonderful opportunity to get everyone involved in the game. I would like to thank Richard Seedhouse of Frame Football for letting us get involved with his exciting project that kicked off in Coventry. I've enjoyed visiting & seeing Frame Football in operation at St. George's Park & appreciate the training & support the IFA have given TW Braga. We all can't wait to get kicked off on 23 January!'
It is anticipated that an additional two clubs in Armagh and Coleraine will be in operation by end 2016. Once these clubs are both up and running it will enable organisers to hold matches, competitions and festival days involving the three clubs.

By Pfc. Sharla Perrin, 3rd BCT, 1st Cav. Div. Public AffairsMay 20, 2009
FORWARD OPERATING BASE MAREZ, MOSUL, Iraq - A police officer entered a junior high school in her district. Wearing her bullet proof vest and carrying her 9mm pistol, she resembled police officers throughout the country; friendly and smiling, easy to talk to. Hailing from Sugar Land, Texas, her southern accent drew her audience close to hear what she had to say.
Demetria Franklin is an International Police Advisor Team Leader and works in western Mosul, Iraq. While her home station is in Sugar Land, her current duties are with the 302nd Military Police Company, 607th Military Police Battalion, 11th Military Police Brigade currently in Mosul, Iraq.
The company and their Iraqi Police counterparts with the Al Rabin Iraqi Police District Station conducted a humanitarian aid drop at a school in the area May 12 to sustain the children's awareness program that Franklin initiated in the area. This program is not unlike the D.A.R.E. program that police officers in the United States participate in.
"The purpose of the HA drop was to follow up on the D.A.R.E. program that we've established in the Al Rabin district, which is as close to the D.A.R.E. program in the United States as we can get," Franklin said.
She said the program was to promote awareness in the children that they can make a difference in their own lives by reporting illegal activity to the IP.
Shop owners, stay-at-home-moms and pedestrians are often asked about the security in their neighborhoods and local insurgent activity, but Franklin said that the real eyes and ears of the city are the children.
"The people who see everything are the kids, and because the police are more community oriented, those children will tell their parents, who will in turn tell the IP," she said.
Franklin's efforts have garnered a significant difference in the attitudes of the community towards the police department. Smiling faces now greet the IP wherever they go.
"The kids love to see the police out there," Franklin said. "The thing about Rabin is the relationship that the commanders have with the children. They have a really good relationship.
They'll ask, "What do you want to be when you grow up'" and the children will respond, "I want to be an IP!" Franklin said.

"Proprietary" is a magic word among truck builders. It describes components of the company's own manufacture or design that are installed on the company's own trucks. For truck users, this can be a good thing, because they're designed to work specifically with a company's other components.

The California attorney general's office has filed a lawsuit against Delta (NYSE: DAL ) alleging it is violating the state's Online Privacy Protection Act, the office announced in a press release. The suit is the first ever of its type. The airline is alleged to have failed to conspicuously post a privacy policy within its app informing users of what personal information the software collected, and how it would be used.
"Fly Delta" is a free app available for users of phone and tablet products running on Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) , Google's (NASDAQ: GOOGL ) Android, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) , and Research In Motion (NASDAQ: BBRY ) operating systems. The attorney general's suit alleges that the app, which has been in release since "at least" 2010, collects "substantial" personal information, such as full name, frequent flyer number and pin code, and location.
The lawsuit seeks to bar Delta from distributing the app without a privacy policy, and seeks financial damages. Delta has not commented on the matter.

"I would probably add them to the post apocalypse city moc that I have devised. Any unique colors I would find would really add to the cyber steam punk theme very well. If it was a golden gun, I would add it to the abandoned pre war bank vault where all the loot is stashed. I am hoping that I find some great guns to add to a Post Apocalypse theme. These will help the citizens deal with the new mutant infestation that has arised recently."
I want to see pictures of this MOC when you are all finished with it!
Thanks to everyone who participated!

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I paid 120.00 a month for two years, the regular price was 80.00 but they made me pay for my equipment for the first two years. I have moved 3 times and Hughes charged me 325.00 each time. That in itself is outrageous.
Anyway, I decided to go with a local company for internet in December of 2012, and cancelled my service with hughes. They told me that I had to send my equipment back to them, because I had leased it. BULL!! so I argued with them and they said ok, I see where you purchased the equipment. and I thought that was the end of it. NOT!
On March 6, 2013 they billed my checking account for 319.50 for the equipment. So back on the phone for hours to argue that I had PURCHASED my equipment and I wanted the money back in my account, cause there was no way I was going to pay twice for my equipment. They finally relented after about three hours and said it would be back in my account in three days,
and to call back in three days.
As of today, 3 days later, I have still not received my money, so back on the phone I go...now they are telling me 7 business days before I get it back in my account and in the meantime, I am going to bounce all over the place and cannot pay a couple of my bills, so now a late charge for them as well!!
It sure didn't take them 7 business days to charge my account, why does it take 7 days to put it back? This is the 21st century by God! How do people go about a class action lawsuit?

My father, a Baby Boomer, was a self-made man with less than a high school education. He successfully ran his own specialty roofing company for over 34 years. My parents divorced when I was 6 years old so I didn't get to see Dad often while growing up. So when he asked me to work with him for the summer before I went off to college, I quickly accepted. I did this while keeping a restaurant job in the evenings to earn extra money for school.
The summer went by quickly as two jobs took up most of my time. In the daytime I worked with Dad on estimate and sales calls, ordered and organized materials, and cleaned the offices and warehouse. In the evening I "slung" corn dogs and shook more freshly-squeezed lemonades than I care to count.
On a steamy summer day in August, Dad asked me to work with one of his "tar crews" for a week. I accepted the task and looked forward to the challenge. He warned me that it was very hot and tiring work. He described proper attire for the job, "Wear old tennis shoes, long pants, and long sleeves…and make sure it's something you don't want to wear again." Understand that being on top of a roof, in SC, in August, with long pants and a long sleeve shirt — it's a recipe for heat exhaustion!
I asked my father why he wanted me to work on one of the "tar crews." His reply was very wise and heartfelt, "Son, I want you to experience the type of work I had to endure to get where I am today. For most of the men you'll work with, this is the best job they will ever have because of choices they made in their lives or because of their lack of education. I want you to get a taste of really hard work before you go off to college so you understand what you don't want to do in life."
His statement and the week of experience working rooftop mopping hot, smelly tar was enough to set my priorities straight. Or at least that's what my perception was at the time.
Having experienced some unique changes in my 20+ years of HR experience, with a lot of this in Industrial and Construction-based workplaces, I have found that pursuing a more physically demanding career is not such a bad thing. In the Construction and Maintenance Industry, current trends estimate that one-sixth of the workforce will retire in the next 5-10 years. Compiled with the fact the workforce needed to complete current projects in the US is close to 6.9 Million and the available workforce is just over 5 Million, there will be a severe shortage of skilled workers in this field.
A perfect storm is brewing and it's moving in fast…with supply shortages of this magnitude, skilled Construction and Maintenance workers will see rapid salary growth over the next decade in many of the trades. Conservative estimates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show trending in wage growth over the past two years for Construction workers to be growing 0.5% faster than all other workers combined. Industry data for the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast shows faster growth in certain segments of the trade. Some employers in this region have reported up to 10% increases in labor costs for specialized roles with an average floating closer to 6% in labor cost growth. As industrial and residential projects get off the ground, we will see labor shortages that will force companies to turn down work which ultimately hampers building activity and economic growth.
So, what has happened to the labor pipeline? Over the years, many school districts decided to phase out vocational programs and traditional shop classes. This while many parents, mine included, have steered their children to pursue four-year degrees. There has also been a stigma of the work being physically demanding and unsafe. While the work is physically challenging, many improvements in worker safety has significantly reduced accidents and injuries over the past few decades.
Recent trends are seeing a reversal in this trend as school districts and trade schools are working quickly to enhance their Construction-related programs. Many forward-thinking companies that are heavily reliant on construction and maintenance workers, have established relationships with trade and vocational schools to provide financial support, equipment for training, and internship opportunities. By having these established pipelines, they will have some level of comfort in maintaining staffing levels.
One challenge for the industry is raising awareness and creating significant buzz to entice students and convince parents that Construction and Maintenance jobs are worthwhile. Programs such as SkillsUSA and Mike Rowe's WORKS (Mike is the former host of the show Dirty Jobs) have brought this subject to the forefront while providing opportunities and financial support to the field. Mike Rowe's program gives deserving students scholarships (averaging $15,000 each) to defer costs to enter programs that will educate them as future welders, mechanics, pipefitters, electricians and carpenters to fill gaps in the industry.
Mean compensation wages for the industry show entry-level opportunities for Laborers in the $17/hour range, Carpenters at $22/hour, Heavy Equipment Operators at $24/hour, and electricians at $26/hour. Once one works and gains experience, moving on to become a Project Manager or a General Manager will create pay opportunities in the $40+/hour range. Welders can start in the field around $50K/year and very quickly move into the six-figure range if they specialize in exotic metals or underwater welding.
With labor prices increasing, poaching of good workers is evident and often employers offer project bonuses and per diems to enhance base wages in an effort to increase retention. Construction companies will keep a good grasp of the market trends if they want to remain competitive. Recruiters in this field often find they have to foster relationships with a wide variety of programs and schools in order to keep requisitions filled.
As a parent, I have many aspirations for my children — attending college being one of them. Despite the conditioning my father instilled in me, I'm open to the fact that my son or daughter can make a great living in this industry. It's really not a bad thing to get your hands dirty anymore!

Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
From the outside HB Towing looks like far superior to there image we all have of towing companies but inside its filled with greed, fraud with no respect for laws, codes or others. John A Grandchamp owner and president of HB Towing Inc will stop at nothing to steal scam or defraud anyone for that old mighty dollar.
He has contracts with Citrus Heights Police Dept. (His dad Joe is a volunteer there) and California Highway Patrol I bet they have no idea of his fraudulent ways or they wouldnt be doing business with him,
Lien Fraud- He is the king when it comes to fraud and lien cars and here are some of his scams:
Backdating liens for the purpose of collecting more money in storage or gaining ownership in a quicker manner to sale the auto for profit.
DMV Civil Code 3972 says you must give your brst effort to find and locate the owner or bank who owns the car All vehicles are sent through the CA DMV computers and its not a PD call nor do the owners inquire about it John Specifically told his employees not to enter out of state vehicles and look for there registration that way he can back dates the lien a week for the sole purpose of gaining ownership so the car can be sold for profit. (Easily proven by auditing his records of out of state liens)
Picks up friends autos that have been stripped down because its up for repo, He picks it up lies about where it came from back dates the lien 4 to 7 days for the extra storage fees he knows it will be picked up when bank the finds out he has it. One of his friends drove his auto up for repo and parked it on the side of HB Towing shop (In beautiful condition), John lied about it be abandoned and forged the managers signature from the Watercress apartments were he claimed it was abandoned AND THEN AFTER TAKING POSSEION OF THE AUTO LET THE SAME GUY INTO HIS YARD TO STRIP 80 PERCENT OF THE MOTOR PARTS OFF OF IT and when the insurance company came to pick it up they took one look at it and said Keep it, John then turned around and sold it back to the same guy that dropped it off and stripped it. And there are several more cases then that.
( I have managed to gather from several sources documentation to prove the above is 100 % correct and match it up to his trucks GPS for that date and time)
For years and years John sold his lien cars to a select group of people some sold for a few thousand others brought in $3000.00 to as high as $8000.00 a few even higher then that but they were always recorded as being sold between $150.00 to $400.00 which allowed him to screw the state tax franchise board and the IRS AND THEN deduct the false recorded amount from the total tow and storage bill and send the owner to collections (Credit Bureau Associates) for the difference even though majority of the time he sold it for more then what was owed. In Civil code section 3072 any money collected above the amount of the lien is to be returned to the DMV Lien Sales unit (it never was) Not only did he under report earnings, taxes etc to the state and IRS but he then collected again from the owner who paid the collection agency which in turn damaged there credit for 7 years. I have a signed statement from John stating Credit Bureau Associates is handling over $10,000,000.00 million in collections for him 75% which are fraudulent.
(I also have a journal of 120 plus autos and what they were actually sold for, how much was recorded it sold for, name and address of buyer and VIN #)
I have actually been in contact with some and they agree with the real price they paid for the car, 100% of the ones I spoke with gave the correct amount which was off by thousands and thousands of the recorded price.
A driver went to tow a car from the handicap parking when he got there the handicap sign was on the front seat John instructed him to open the car and throw it under the seat and tow it anyway.
The CHP suspended HB Towing for 30 days due to the fact when they did an audit and he was overcharging and had to repay thousands.
John Grandchamp has broken every state and federal law possible because of his greed including labor laws and civil rights.
I took my documentation, photos and statements to a retired District Attorney after a lengthy review his conclusion was MINIMUM: 5 years in prison, Thousands and thousands in fines, several hundred thousands of dollars in restitution alone for the illegal liens and falsely reporting and collecting money through the credit agency not to mention maybe millions in the damage done to there credit from his false reporting, State Tax franchise board and the IRS??? He has said before he hides his money in case something or someone tries and sues HB Towing inc. John if you run your corporations even a little like you do HB Towing your corporation will mean nothing in court the judge will see it like it is You think you can do what you want and hide behind it if you do not follow the rules, laws and bylaws your corporation means nothing and your family trust?? Even tougher restrictions. John A Grandchamp you deserve nothing less then to spend the rest of your life penniless in the streets with nothing, youre a thief and a fraud that even rips off his employees. What is Hailey Bug (Your Daughter who you named your company after) going to think of dad in prison??? Start digging up your money your place on Brickyard and outfall after looking at your re-fi in Feb 2011 doesnt leave much equity and Alabama rd in Herald you financed $417,000.00 out of 600k?
If you have been violate by HB Towing or interested in investigating what I have said and much much more feel free to contact me.

This plugin has lots of nice features, but some incredible annoyances.
1. P3Plugin Profiler tags JetPack with 50% of my server load.
2. The WP stats take like 20 seconds to load.
3. I have 6000 spam feedbacks carefully stored by Jetpack and would need 3 hours to manually send 100 to the trash at a time, then another 3 hours to clean the trash out 100 at a time. All the while constantly overloading my HG VPS 9 server.

A dispensing optician is trained to dispense and fit spectacles and other optical aids, working from the prescriptions written by optometrists and ophthalmologists.
Dispensing opticians advise patients on various types of lenses and spectacle frames, including advice on style, weight and colour. They advise patients on how to wear and care for their spectacles and, with further training as contact lens opticians (CLOs), their contact lenses.
The majority of dispensing opticians work in high street outlets for large, multiple-chain optician stores or for independent practices.
The role requires extensive use of technical expertise and good customer service skills. Selling is an important part of the job.
The role of a dispensing optician may include:
- interpreting optical prescriptions written by optometrists or ophthalmologists;
- giving advice to patients on lens type, frames and styling;
- with further training, fitting contact lenses and giving advice on their care and use;
- taking frame and facial measurements to ensure correct fit and positioning;
- advising partially sighted patients on the use of low vision aids;
- advising patients when adjustments or repairs to spectacles are needed;
- selecting, managing and ordering a range of optical products;
- ordering lenses from prescription houses;
- checking lenses on delivery to ensure that they meet the required specifications;
- arranging and maintaining shop displays;
- liaising with sales representatives from vision care product suppliers;
- supervising and training trainee dispensing opticians.
Dispensing opticians who choose to take on additional store management responsibilities may also undertake the following activities:
- recruiting and overseeing the professional development of staff;
- administering, organising and planning the development of the business;
- keeping accurate patient and business records;
- undertaking management and marketing activities.
There is no set pay scale for dispensing opticians, and salaries vary enormously between employers.
- Optical assistants and pre-registration students can expect to earn around £16,000 a year.
- Typical salaries for newly-qualified dispensing opticians start at around £18,000.
- Experienced dispensing opticians, specialists and managers can earn in the region of £25,000 to £35,000+.
Income figures are intended as a guide only.
Working hours
Working hours are usually 9am to 6pm. Dispensing opticians generally work between 35 and 40 hours a week, Mondays to Saturdays, with one day off in the week. Many practices are also open on Sundays and bank holidays, so weekend work is common.
Large, multiple-chain stores are sometimes open during the evenings and dispensing opticians may then work alternative shifts (e.g. four ten-hour days with three days off).
Part-time and temporary locum work is sometimes available after qualification.
What to expect
- Self-employment through franchise, partnerships or sole trader operations is possible for qualified dispensing opticians with some years' experience. Earnings can then be significantly higher.
- Jobs are available in most parts of the UK, primarily in towns and cities.
- There are roughly equal numbers of male and female dispensing opticians in the UK.
- Dispensing opticians are expected to dress smartly and maintain a high level of courtesy and professionalism with customers.
- Most work is undertaken in one location, but there may be some travel to other practice premises in the local area.
- Overnight absences from home due to work are very rare.
- Dispensing opticians registered in the UK may be able to find work abroad. Registration with the General Optical Council (GOC) is recognised in some overseas countries.
For entry to a dispensing optician course, a minimum of five GCSE passes (grades C or above) or the equivalent are normally required, including English, maths and a science-based subject.
If applicants can provide evidence that they have a minimum of ten years' optical experience, the entry standard may be waived. In addition, a series of access courses in English, general science, human biology, mathematics and optics and dispensing for students who do not have the required GCSEs, or for those who have been out of education for some time, have been developed by the Association of British Dispensing Opticians (ABDO). Each passed access course is the equivalent of one GCSE.
To qualify as a dispensing optician you must complete and pass a three-year course of studying dispensing optics at a training institution approved by the General Optical Council (GOC). These are:
- ABDO College, Canterbury;
- Anglia Ruskin University;
- Bradford College;
- City and Islington College;
- City University London;
- Glasgow Caledonian University.
There are three modes of study to choose from:
- a two-year full time training course at a GOC-approved training institution followed by one year's salaried work in a practice under supervision;
- a three-year day release training course with a GOC-approved training institution, combined with suitable employment;
- a three-year distance learning course offered by a GOC-approved training institution, combined with suitable employment.
Trainees must pass all parts of the professional qualifying examinations, which are run by ABDO in conjunction with the training establishments, and then register with the GOC and become ABDO members. You will then be a Fellow of ABDO (FBDO).
In addition to the academic qualifications, you will need to show evidence of the following:
- scientific and mathematical aptitude;
- manual dexterity and attention to detail;
- ability to handle ophthalmic instruments;
- pleasant manner and interest in working with people;
- interest in style and fashion;
- a strong commitment to customer care and confidence in dealing with people;
- good problem-solving skills;
- business awareness and management skills.
Work experience
Relevant pre-entry experience is desirable as many individuals who enter the profession already have experience working in an optical environment through holding relevant positions such as optical assistants, receptionists or sales assistants.
It is therefore advisable to gain some relevant experience. Sending speculative applications to independent practices or large multiple chains can be a good way to find out about work experience opportunities.
The majority of dispensing opticians are employed by the large multiple chains or independent practices. There are also a large number of dispensing opticians who are self-employed or in partnerships.
A small number of dispensing opticians work in hospitals where they are more likely to specialise in areas like low-vision aids.
A few dispensing opticians are employed in prescription houses or work for manufacturers of frames, lenses and other vision aids.
There are a limited number of opportunities to teach as optical course lecturers with further and higher education institutions offering training courses for opticians.
There are currently over 5,700 registered dispensing opticians in the UK.
Look for job vacancies at:
- British Optician Jobs
- Dispensing Optics - monthly membership journal of the ABDO.
- Flame Health
- Inspired Selections
- Optician Jobs
- Optometry Today (OT)
- Local press.
There are numerous recruitment agencies which deal with dispensing optician positions.
Most large employers advertise vacancies on their own websites. Speculative applications to independent practices or large multiple chains are a recognised way to find out about opportunities.
Get more tips on how to find a job, create a successful CV and cover letter and prepare for interviews.
Professional development
For financial reasons, many graduates wanting to pursue the profession prefer to enter employment and undertake part-time study rather than enrolling in a full-time course. Securing work as a trainee dispensing optician is therefore an ideal option - allowing individuals to study on a part-time and/or distance learning basis while working.
Most employers are willing to cover the cost of study and examination fees, although in a few cases, students are expected to pay their own fees.
It is important to check exactly what an employer is willing to contribute before starting training. Sponsorship for full-time courses is rare, and most full-time students take out student loans.
Successful completion of the course, the pre-registration year and the qualifying examinations with the ABDO, leads to registration with the GOC. Registration must be renewed annually for as long as individuals wish to practise in the UK.
Continuing education and training (CET) is now a statutory requirement for continued registration with the GOC.
The CET scheme exists to ensure registrants maintain up-to-date knowledge and skills. This is done by gaining CET points through participation in a number of activities including:
- attending conferences;
- completing assessments;
- completing distance learning modules.
Once a dispensing optician has qualified and gained some professional experience, many go on to take further professional training in order to specialise in a particular area or add to their portfolio of skills. The most well-known advanced course is the Contact Lens Certificate, which qualifies dispensing opticians in the supply and fitting of contact lenses.
Another possible specialist area is the supply of low-vision aids, though this expertise is likely to be more useful in a hospital setting than in a high street outlet. Additional courses are available through ABDO, who are hoping to introduce more specialist subjects in the future.
Career prospects
The market is competitive, but prospects are good, particularly if individuals are willing to relocate.
After qualifying, a large number of dispensing opticians choose to take on additional management responsibilities. As responsibility for practice direction and overall business management is usually taken on alongside the dispensing optician role, the stress and pressure of long hours has to be balanced against the increased financial rewards.
Opportunities to move up the management ladder are most often found in high street multiple chains or independent practices.
It is possible for qualified dispensing opticians to take on a supervisory role - supervising trainee dispensing opticians. This can be a time consuming yet rewarding role, which often has to fit in around the routine dispensing optician role and management responsibilities.
After gaining some years' experience, a large number of qualified dispensing opticians enter self-employment or partnership, running their own practice or a franchise business. However, it is important to be aware that increasing competition from the large multiple chains has made running an independent practice much more challenging.
This has resulted in a decrease in the number of dispensing opticians setting up in private practice and more opting to take on a franchise with one of the major chains.

In 1964, Jacqueline Kennedy recorded seven historic interviews about her life with John F. Kennedy. Now, for the first time, they can be read in this deluxe, illustrated eBook.
Shortly after President John F. Kennedy's assassination, with a nation deep in mourning and the world looking on in stunned disbelief, Jacqueline Kennedy found the strength to set aside her own personal grief for the sake of posterity and begin the task of documenting and preserving her husband's legacy. In January of 1964, she and Robert F. Kennedy approved a planned oral-history project that would capture their first-hand accounts of the late President as well as the recollections of those closest to him throughout his extraordinary political career. For the rest of her life, the famously private Jacqueline Kennedy steadfastly refused to discuss her memories of those years, but beginning that March, she fulfilled her obligation to future generations of Americans by sitting down with historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., and recording an astonishingly detailed and unvarnished account of her experiences and impressions as the wife and confidante of John F. Kennedy. The tapes of those sessions were then sealed and later deposited in the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum upon its completion, in accordance with Mrs. Kennedy's wishes.
The resulting eight and a half hours of material comprises a unique and compelling record of a tumultuous era, providing fresh insights on the many significant people and events that shaped JFK's presidency but also shedding new light on the man behind the momentous decisions. Here are JFK's unscripted opinions on a host of revealing subjects, including his thoughts and feelings about his brothers Robert and Ted, and his take on world leaders past and present, giving us perhaps the most informed, genuine, and immediate portrait of John Fitzgerald Kennedy we shall ever have. Mrs. Kennedy's urbane perspective, her candor, and her flashes of wit also give us our clearest glimpse into the active mind of a remarkable First Lady.
In conjunction with the fiftieth anniversary of President Kennedy's Inauguration, Caroline Kennedy and the Kennedy family are now releasing these beautifully restored recordings on CDs with accompanying transcripts. Introduced and annotated by renowned presidential historian Michael Beschloss, these interviews will add an exciting new dimension to our understanding and appreciation of President Kennedy and his time and make the past come alive through the words and voice of an eloquent eyewitness to history.

The Conceptual Integrity of Software. Edition No. 1
- March 2008

- VDM Publishing House
In the world of commercial computing, consumers are being inundated with baroque, bloated, and difficult-to-use computing applications, tools that use computational methods and technologies to perform tasks. Ensuring that planned features required for market competitiveness enhance a computing application without these side effects first requires that we understand how these features contribute to the overall design and conceptual integrity of the application. We present a research framework, methodologies, and artifacts for measuring the conceptual integrity of a computing application using its embedded theory of the world (its ontology) and show how conceptual integrity can be used to inform software design to ensure its usefulness to its users.
