Falls hotel project might resume this spring
Development of a 135-room hotel in Menomonee Falls, which ran into delays because it was unable to obtain a construction loan, could resume this spring, the developer says.
Madison-based Professional Hospitality LLC hopes to soon complete a financing package for the project, said Derek Kritzer, general counsel. The hotel is planned for W14776 Main St., just west of Highway 45.
The hotel--its brand hasn't been announced yet--would replace the former Falls Inn. That dilapidated building was largely demolished last year, leaving just the concrete shell.
Village officials hope the hotel and additional development will help bring new life to Main St. between Highway 45 and Pilgrim Road.
Work on the hotel project stopped last fall because of turmoil within the nation's credit markets, Kritzer said.
"Since then, it's been a struggle," he said.

Common Council rejects apartment high-rise behind Goll House
A proposed $55 million 27-story apartment tower for Milwaukee's east side has been rejected by the Common Council.
The council on Tuesday voted 10-5 to support the project, falling two votes short of the supermajority needed for approval. The zoning change needed 12 votes because a protest petition was signed by enough adjacent property owners, said Ald. Ashanti Hamilton, council president.
The opponents were Ald. Robert Bauman, whose district includes the site, along with aldermen Cavalier Johnson, Mark Borkowski, Jose Perez and Tony Zielinski.

Emerging markets focused exchange traded funds may feel the effects of Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez nationalizing the Compania Anonima Nacional Telefonos de Venezuela (VNT). As a result, shares of VNT dropped 10% last Monday, and 27% by Tuesday, reports Roger Nusbaum on TheStreet.com.
This occurrence is a good example of the risks involved with emerging market stocks and funds. As a rule, there should be no more false security in a stock just because it is listed on the NYSE. The easiest thing an investor can do is not buy into a theme too much. Remember, a stock is never safe from risk, and with foreign investment, whatever happens in that country puts the investor at even more risk. To play it safe, Nusbaum suggests a 2% weight and then trim back if it goes significantly.
The most popular emerging markets ETF, iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index (NYSEARCA:EEM), is only 20% invested in emerging markets stocks and not one is a Venezuelan company.

Loose in Kingsland exit 3 Black-mouthed Mamba
Posted in the St. Marys Forum
Saint Marys, GA
#1 Nov 29, 2011
A black -mouthed mamba escaped after biting someone trying to purchase the illegal snake at 2:30 AM has not been confirmed by anyone other than the person that was trying to purchase the snake.
Black Mamba is the longest venomous snake in Africa, averaging around 8 feet to 10 feet in length, and sometimes growing to lengths15 feet. Its name is derived from the black colouration inside the mouth rather than the actual colour of its scales which varies from dull yellowish-green to a gun-metal grey. It is the fastest snake in the world, capable of moving at 10 - 12 MPH.
Drug dealers favor this snake to eliminate someone that has wronged the drug dealer or he just wants to scare the person into doing what they want them to do. Which may explain why we find the snake on the loose in Camden County. Drug dealers favor this location because it is close to Florida and has easy access to I-95.

I knew of one drug dealer in Jacksonville that kept two diamond Back Rattle snakes in a see through the top of the coffee table in his living room. Story is that he would cut the rattlers off the snake and release it in the home of the victim.
I also knew the story of the man that opened his mail box for his mail only to be bitten by a rattle snake when he reach in for his mail.

Law enforcement should be forth right with disclosing to the public what really went on over in Kingsland at I-95.

Close to fenced area on the Exit 3 south bound side. along the wooded area. Right hand side of the road.

If the escaped snake is a female it may be carrying eggs and could have young in the area. I do hope that this snake's continual reporting stops soon with the apprehension (before it lays eggs).

What would the profilers of the FBI place on the personality of the individual that would want to own a poisonous snake that frankly just looking at the snake most unsuspecting souls would not be frighten of as:( Eastern DiamondBack Rattlesnake).
A person that would want this snake may be suicidal.
Wants to kill someone and thinks they can get away with it by using a snake that may get a pass because they do not know what killed the person.
You tell me what type person wants to have such a lethal reptile in their possession ?
Saint Marys, GA
#19 Nov 30, 2011
Secondly why would they want to transact business at Exit 3 in Georgia ?
Unless the person that brought the snake to the party wanted to intimidate the person that was bitten.
Wanted to kill the person that was bitten ?
Wanted to settle something that was owed or that one is bound to pay to or perform for another. the condition of being under such an obligation as owing for a drug deal gone sour. To remove an individual from a location.
To settle a love triangle ?
Maybe that it requires a personality of similar type that of Jay Moreno, or similar type of severely critical or sarcastic person.

This thread is all a lie. Here's an excerpt from the coverage of the story in the GTU.
"Wildlife officials with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources said 22-year-old John K. Rosenbaum told them it happened about 2:30 p.m. Monday off Interstate 95 Exit 3 in Kingsland. During the sale, the snake got away briefly but was recaptured. Rosenbaum said that's when it bit him."
It was RECAPTURED and is now no doubt in the custody of the moron who owns the snake.

Of course, you need a Santa, but you should dress everyone in vintage 50's wear.
Since one of the most memorable scenes in the movie was the postal workers delivering truckloads of Santa mail to the courtroom, maybe depict the courtroom somehow? With big bags of "mail?"

There's not many celebs who could pull off a matching dinosaur print knit and skirt, but somehow Katy Perry has done just that.
The Dark Horse singer jetted into Tokyo to continue her Prismatic World Tour and dressed in kitsch and cutesy form.
She paired the comfy looking mint-green dino print sweater and matching flirty pleated skirt with a coral cross-body bag and platform silver toe-cap sandals. To top it off, she wore a cute bow in her hair and some classic Ray-Ban sunnies.
Co-ords are a huge trend this season, but while your average celeb keeps it understated in checks or block colours, we applaud Katy's playful pastel approach.

decided: December 15, 1976.
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, APPELLANT,v.HOWARD HORSLEY, APPELLEE
Appeal from the Granting of a Motion in Arrest of Judgment by the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Penna., Criminal Division at No. 7640A September Term, 1972. No. 562 April Term 1975.
John J. Hickton, Dist. Atty., Charles W. Johns, Asst. Dist. Atty., Pittsburgh, for appellant.
Larry P. Gaitnes, Pittsburgh, for appellee.
Watkins, President Judge, and Jacobs, Hoffman, Cercone, Price, Van der Voort and Spaeth, JJ.
[ 244 Pa. Super. Page 92]
After a non-jury trial, appellee was convicted of possession and possession with intent to deliver, in violation of The Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act, 35 P.S. § 780-113. On July 16, 1974, the lower court entered an order denying appellee's motions for a new trial and in arrest of judgment. However, appellee filed a petition for reconsideration, and on April 7, 1975, the lower court entered an order partially vacating its order of July 16, 1974, and granting the motion in arrest of judgment. The Commonwealth appeals from this order, and we reverse.
The record discloses the following facts. On May 16, 1972, at about 12:30 p. m., Officer Patrick of the Pittsburgh Police Department was working a narcotics stakeout in the 2000 block of Center Avenue in the Hill District of Pittsburgh. From a concealed position the officer saw appellee give another man a "small metal-like object," from a brown paper bag, in return for money. (N.T. 6) When this happened again, the officer called his two partners, who were about a block and a half away, on his police walkie-talkie. When appellee saw
[ 244 Pa. Super. Page 93]
these two officers approaching, he walked over to a telephone pole and dropped the paper bag beside the pole. One of the officers picked up the bag, and saw inside it several tinfoil packets containing white powder. Appellee was then arrested.
Appellee contends, and the lower court evidently agreed, that Commonwealth v. Jeffries, 454 Pa. 320, 311 A.2d 914 (1973), governs this case.*fn1
The facts in Jeffries were as follows: While walking along a street, Jeffries saw some police officers in a car, and "quickened his pace." The officers left the car and started toward Jeffries, who began to run. During the ensuing chase Jeffries threw away a cigarette package. After the officers caught Jeffries, they recovered the package and it was found to contain heroin.*fn2
The first argument in Jeffries, as here, was that the warrantless arrest was without probable cause. Probable cause requires that the arresting officer have enough reasonably trustworthy information to justify a man of reasonable caution in believing that the person to be arrested has committed, or is committing, an offense. See Beck v. Ohio, 379 U.S. 89, 85 S.Ct. 223, 13 L.Ed.2d 142 (1964). In Jeffries, the only information the officers had was flight, which is not enough to support a finding of probable cause. Commonwealth v. Pegram,
[ 244 Pa. Super. Page 94450]
Pa. 590, 301 A.2d 695 (1973). Here, however, one officer saw appellee engage in two transactions that the officer could reasonably believe were sales of a controlled substance, and another officer saw appellee drop a paper bag that the officer could reasonably believe contained heroin. This was enough to give the officers probable cause for the arrest. Commonwealth v. Lawson, 454 Pa. 23, 309 A.2d 391 (1973).
Appellee contends, however, that the officers were not entitled to consider the paper bag. In support of this contention appellee correctly notes that abandoned property may not be used for evidentiary purposes when the abandonment is coerced by unlawful police action. Commonwealth v. Pollard, 450 Pa. 138, 299 A.2d 233 (1973). Thus in Jeffries the Court found that the abandonment was coerced by the unlawful action of the police in chasing Jeffries in order to seize him. The Court went on to say, however, that "[t]his is not a situation where the party spontaneously abandons the property upon sight of the police," supra 454 Pa. at 327, 311 A.2d at 918. Here that is just what appellee did. As the police did nothing unlawful in approaching appellee, it cannot be said that appellee was coerced by unlawful police action to abandon the paper bag. It was therefore properly seized.
Since Jeffries is inapplicable to this case, the lower court erred in granting the motion in arrest of judgment and the original verdict should be reinstated. Commonwealth v. Froelich, 458 Pa. 104, 326 A.2d 364 (1974).
The order granting the motion in arrest of judgment is vacated, the original verdict is reinstated, and the record is remanded for the imposition of sentence.

"Even More Notes from the Universe" combines Mike Dooley's pithy and inspiring messages, direct from the Universe, to help you start living the life of your dreams -- today.

The music has always been playing your favorite tune, yet hearing it requires action. And right on cue, your unfailing partner, the Universe, begins choreographing players and events in a waltz of miracles, moving heaven and earth to align the future of your dreams with your present circumstances. Nothing is impractical, impossible, or out of reach. Your thoughts create worlds, your words shape the future, and the steps you take unleash the magic behind creation.

Oyster Sauce Baste
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 30 mins
I got this recipe from a friend in Hawaii. She made some incredible spare ribs using this baste. These are minimal instructions, but it's all I have. Cooking time is approximate. Put here for safe keeping.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 1⁄3 cup oyster sauce
- 1⁄4 cup shoyu (soy sauce)
- 1 cup catsup
- 2 ounces fresh gingerroot
- Boil all together until ginger is cooked.
- Use a basting brush and baste often while grilling.
Most Helpful
The taste is fantastic! Updated: this was a thick sticky sauce that didn't drip, and it was so good I almost ate the rib bones. Please see my review system. Step 1 should indicate how long this sauce should be boiled. I researched other soy sauces, and decided to simmer mine for 30 minutes. That yielded a thick sauce ready for canning. To my surprise, 2 oz. fresh gingerroot required 6-7 inches of gingerroot, finely grated. (I'm relieved that I bought enough!) The sauce yielded 1 1/2 cups. of thick sauce. Please let me know when you update the recipe so I can amend my rating. Made for Photo Tag.

SOMERVILLE - Ramu Chandra reached out to Kane in Your Corner after he says he paid $4,000 in cash for a room full of furniture from a store called Crazy Deals in Somerville.
Chandra says he was talked into buying it at a cash price because they gave large discounts. The store is now closed, despite the fact that Chandra says the owner promised to reopen March 24. Since then, the furniture store has been slapped with an eviction notice.
Chandra isn't alone in his complaint, as others have reached out to Kane in Your Corner as well. Even though the actual store is gone, the website is still up and running. In order to prevent something like this from happening to you, Kane in Your Corner suggests putting the purchase on a credit card so you can dispute the charges if your order isn't delivered. If a business shuts down while you're still waiting for delivery, you should file a complaint with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs so you can get on a list in case there are any settlements.

Quincy Levies
Posted in the Quincy Forum
#1 Oct 28, 2012
Hello to all on Quincy Topix. We are two weeks out from election day. November 6, 2012 everyone gets the right to vote your choice on two levies in the Village of Quincy. These are two REPLACEMENT levies that are for a five year period. Each levy is 3.2 mills and will each generate $17,000.00 each. These two levies have been in place for several years and are a base of the funding the village uses to operate on. Many have been angered by the placement of the 1% Quincy income tax in the Village. I understand it was not the favorite choice of anyone. We are all paying 1% of our income. The two levies that are up for replacement just did not generate enough money to keep up with expenses. The General Fund levy supports everything that is done in this Village. It has been used to supplement all funds when they run short of funds. The street levy helps with matching funds from Logan County on repavement of streets, snow plowing, leaf pick up, and anything to do with street improvements. I have heard the negatives and the positives. However, I live in this town and I don't want to see this Village loose any of the progress that has been made. Voting is key to the issues. I don't want to loose street lighting, the nicest park in the area, are emergency services and patrolling in the area due to lack of funding. If you have issues don't hurt this town to get revenge. I like Quincy and have been here 37 years. Some people for many more than that. Some have been born and raised and remain in this town. What a thing to be proud of. To know so many care enough about the place they were raised in to stay and raise their own children here. It can't be all that bad. If you don't like what is going on, change it. There has not been anyone come to my office and ask about finances and determine that money has been wasted. Please reply with opinions and thoughts. I am here and willing to listen. Remember to vote. It is your right and priviledge. Quincy residents vote at the Quincy Community building. Thanks for listening.
Sandy Ward, Fiscal Officer
#2 Oct 28, 2012
We do have one of the nicest parks in the area. I do feel that the council has been more reserved in their spending as of late. I see that more thought is going into the purchasing of items. I don't see the town truck in Sidney and Bellefontaine as much as before either.(being used for personal use) I believe progress has been made.
Quincy is a pretty good little burg.:)
#3 Nov 7, 2012
Well folks it has happened again. The people have spoken. First thanks to all who tried and supported this town. Since everyone that voted no on these levies know what is going on and voted in the best interest of our Village I hope someone knows what to do next because I am scared to death about our future. However don't count this town down and out. There are things that can be done to keep us going but they may not all be pleasant. The majority have voted and said they don't need the services we now enjoy everyone will have to take care of their needs. We get what we pay for in life and many have said they can do it on their own. Now will be the time for that. May God bless us all and keep us safe. I care about this town and promise to do my best to keep it together. Thanks for all the listening and the ones who care for your support. Sandy Ward, Fiscal Officer.
#4 Nov 8, 2012
Go back to running it like a village instead of a metropolis. Go back to one town worker that actually works, instead of two workers with an administrator. Why do we need an administrator? Seriously? There really isn't enough work for one full-time worker year round, let alone, three. I am sorry this will hurt your feelings. But it is factual.
Raises were given, at the same time you were saying there was no money. If the town adminstrator doesn't think he is getting paid enough for his "forty" (cough) hours. Then it is time for him to move.
#5 Nov 9, 2012
Thanks suggestion but again we need to add some facts to the story. This town does run as it has for years. The State of Ohio requires that you have a Board of Public Affairs or Administrator. It is the law. For years we had a Board of Public Affairs. Due to anger they all decided to resign over the building of the new sewer plant. The Council at that time created the administrator position instead of a BPA. We are smaller than other Villages but take a look at how many people work for other places. We have one full time Administrator and a very part time employee. That is it. My job is also a by law position. No one has ever been to Council meeting to complain about Mr. Helmandollar, the lack of hours he works, or the use of a part time person. As long as we are a Village this position will be.. You see it is not factual at all. Have you ever followed Mr. Helmandollar around for a week to see what he does to know his work load? My feelings get hurt when people use their right to vote to punish instead of looking at what is best for our town. Streets are a vital part of anyplace. The other services that stand to be lost because of these levies as a result of this worries me. How do we ever get better if we continue to go backwards.
As far as raises go several years went without any raise as well as other people not getting raises. The percentage of increase was so great. Come to my office and check out my pay increase. I will be more than happy to show you. No one in this village has ever checked out the replacement need for the levies that just failed due to people saying this village does not need the services paid by the money generated by these levies. Nothing can be done to change any of this now. The levies went down and January 1 2013 the funds stop and lets all hope that all the no votes were right and the Village does not need the funds lost.
#6 Nov 10, 2012
Quincy is a pretty good place to live even though it gets a bad rap in the surrounding communities.
I have a suggestion. Why doesn't the council go after all the one percent income tax that should be paid? I know for a fact there are people who live within the corporation limits that do not pay it. Is that fair to those of us that are doubly taxed through real estate and income tax? Make them pay their share.
#7 Nov 11, 2012
Thanks for the question. My info is to contact RITA. They take it from there. I am with you. I pay mine every pay day.
#8 Nov 11, 2012
We do too, quarterly. It is the fairest way to tax. I believe.
#9 Nov 11, 2012
Shouldn't someone on the town council, or someone on the payroll, be cross checking residents and their obligation to pay the income tax with the people who actually do? I was told, and I know I shouldn't listen to rumors, that the village representatves have voiced that they will not make sure all people are paying the tax. That it is not their job. I think it would be very easy for them to compile a list of names and send to Rita so they can enforce it. I think that would bring in several thousand. I think that is another reason why people are not happy with the levies, because of the people who are getting away with not paying the income tax. I know it is aggravating for us when we are paying a combined total of two percent of our income and others are not paying any.
United States
#11 Nov 12, 2012
It should be voluntary. You believe in freedom don't you? If you believe in freedom you shouldn't force anyone to pay anything. Especially since we don't have any money.
#12 Nov 12, 2012
Voluntary to pay the one percent income tax? I believe in freedom, but if a one percent income tax is mandated for the residents to pay, then I believe all that have an income should be paying it. Property taxes are not voluntary, so I doubt the income tax is voluntary either. I will check into it, and if others don't have to pay and if it is voluntary, then I will quite paying it too.
So if the town doesn't seem to care who pays an who don't, I guess I shouldn't care either. We can use the extra two percent.
#13 Nov 13, 2012
The town does care who pays and who does not. That is why we contract with an agency that has access to the internal revenue to find people paying federal taxes. Those not paying will be caught and not only will they owe tax but penalty and interest too. As Fiscal Officer I have not received any names of people not paying.
United States
#14 Nov 14, 2012
Sandy i thank you for your service to our comunity. I do not find any problems with how the council runs the town with what they have or do not have. Mr. H does his best with the help and equipment he has. BUT as much as you try to make these people understand that the cost of every thing has gone up, including the things that the village needs to operate. And the money comming it is less now that alot of people in our town lost there homes and more people are living on the government dole. Less and less money goes to the village. Keep up the good fight sandy but i don't think they are getting it.
#15 Nov 14, 2012
Service to our community? It is not like she isn't getting paid. Mr H. does the best with the help and equipment he has? He should do damn good. The people in his position in the past did more work with less help and less equipment.
The only thing you got correct is more people are living on the government dole. Why should the few who work and own homes support the freeloaders who benefit from the services. I doubt you work or own property, so why should you care how much the residents are taxed. I doubt her job or H's job warrants forty hours a week.
United States
#16 Nov 14, 2012
Your right good one! I haven't lived in quincy for 20 years. I don't own property in quincy. And i don't own my own business that is forced to pay taxes in states i don't do business in. I don't have a clue. And i have watched all the people before Mr. H and if is no different then them. I feel he does a better job. Have a good day while keep trying to support the community i live in and keep paying my taxes for the freeloaders also.
#17 Nov 15, 2012
Robb and I pay the 1% tax out of our paychecks. The one thing we didn't do since we file our own taxes, is file a certain form required by the RITA tax. We really were not aware we had to do that. TRUST ME...those who don't pay will get caught. I had to pay almost a $100 fine because I didn't have a clue that I had to file the form. I can't complain, it's my own fault. If my fine was almost $100 for just paperwork, I can't imagine what those people will be fined for not paying. Too bad the levies didn't pass, hopefully there will be a solution. I agree, people should follow Kirk around if they want to know what he does. I remember when I was younger, my dad used to get called out at all hours of the night with Dick Smith to fix a water line break in well below freezing temps. There is a lot of things those guys do that nobody else would want to do if asked. Anyone who comes into the store knows how cynical I have been about the town in the past, but it does seem that they have tightened their pockets some and have even started looking into some grants to tear down old buildings in town. Hopefully that will motivate for more grant searches and usage. I had read some place where Kathy Wells seat is up at some point as she is retiring? Then maybe everyone should be aware of that so we can have some applicants for it when it is time to be filled. Sandy, maybe you can shed light or give info on that?
#18 Nov 15, 2012
Thanks again for those that support the town we live in. I understand that people are living pay check to pay check and that all and I mean all of us are facing financial issues. These two levies were not more money as far as amounts and trust me the Council will be delving into ways to get by all this. Anger always sets in when things don't go they way we want them to. However after some time the anger is gone and the time to dig in and look at what is best for this town. The Council will have now does fight for the town because we all live here, pay the income tax want it or not, and pay taxes to keep the town afloat and they will continue to do so. As far as a vacant seat there have been rumblings of this fact but nothing has been put in writing or verbally been made official. I always advertise a vacant seat and this time I expect to get about 132 applications if it becomes available. Thanks Molly for letting people know that this did run with one paid person that had to get help when needed. The one extra person that we use only works on an as needed basis. We don't make up work just to keep him busy. Kirk Helmandollar is a VILLAGE ADMINISTRATOR. Not just a village worker doing four jobs. He also has tons of paperwork and is responsible for the work to get the filtration plant funds, money for the grants for street work, and all of that takes much time. He also has continuing education to add his load as well as required training hours to keep both of his license. He is now facing new training to be able to maintain our sewer lift station. Walk a mile in his shoes and then complain about his work load. Sorry there I go on another trip down the trail. Money is tight for everyone and if we hang together we can make it happen. I intend to keep trying.

Danny Robinson should Buy the Quincy foundry and hire a bunch of people so we can have more jobs in Quincy.

I think we need to pass a police levy and get our own police force. Ge them druggies and perverts out of town.
#21 Nov 23, 2012
We don't need a police force. We can't afford to run the town as it is. We don't have that many incidents of crime. People need to watch out for their own and raise their kids to be responsible adults. that's all.

Posted on 01/24/2009 1:53:15 PM PST by SeekAndFind
After years of struggling to get their wages up, the nations workers are trying to find jobs that will simply last, least through the deep recession.
Fearing layoffs, investment bankers at Merrill Lynch or Morgan Stanley are joining small Wall Street firms for less pay but with signed employment guarantees. Academics are migrating to community colleges, which are adding teachers as enrollment rises. In Eastern Wisconsin, workers furloughed from paper mill they fear will not reopen are training as truck drivers and welders.
Looking online and in newspapers and talking to my instructors, Ive decided that trucking and welding stand out as jobs that are available and will continue to be available, and a lot of my friends agree, said Dan Geneen, who has picked up truck-driving certificate and is learning welding since he was let go by the paper mill last fall.
Trucker and welder are hardly glamorous careers to most Americans. But there is new allure developing around jobs likely to keep a person employed, at reasonable pay, through a prolonged downturn. Government employment once offered that promise, certainly in the Great Depression. But government hiring is less than robust now, at 181,000 additions over the last year, mostly at the state and local level. That is far from offsetting the 2.5 million jobs lost in the 13 months of recession.
With his economic recovery package now before Congress, President Obama promises to generate thousands of steady jobs, some of them in government. Until those positions appear in abundance, however, the hunt for safe work is occurring mainly in the private sector and the hunting is not easy.
The companies doing the least hiring now are very often the companies that offer the safest jobs, said Susan Houseman, a senior economist labor expert at the Upjohn Institute

Government used to be a refuge, particularly postal work and public school teaching. But the post office has been shrinking its payroll for several years. Secondary school employment mainly kindergarten through high school rose through August to nearly 8.1 million jobs, but it has fallen each month since as declining tax revenue forces cutbacks.
Those cutbacks rarely apply to math and science teachers, who are often in short supply. Teaching math in a high school in an affluent suburb, said Tom Geoghegan, a labor lawyer in Chicago and a Democratic candidate for Congress, that is my idea of the ultimate safe job.
Despite the negative tone, this is a positive story. People are adapting. And that's a good thing.
Life goes on at my household, and it will go on no matter what the leftist crooks throw at us. We are paid for and diversified, broke, but comfortable, and we don't need anything from 0, except to be left alone.
It's a good thing most Americans aren't looking for glamor. They're looking to raise families and put food on the table. America needs welders, truck drivers and ditch diggers more than it needs journalists, politicians and academics.
Amen to that!
Yup. I do IT/MIS work for a living, but if that dies, I hold a few automotive/engine repair certs as well as skills in other fields - and have no qualms about doing a "less glamorous" job if that's what I need to do.
Gah, hit send too soon.
I also have a forklift operator cert and experience with manual labor.
Specialization is for insects.
If there is no more IT work, the only solution I have is to find more IT work. :(
I know that as long as I don't do anything stupid like smoke weed or rack up DUIs, I'm going to have a job each morning and this job provides health care to my family and the pay isn't too bad. It's nice to not have the stress of wondering each day if there's going to be a "you've been downsized" notice waiting for me when I arrive at work.
Not to worry. The BO will save us.

My surgeon is also a sheet metal worker.
The trucking industry is a service industry ... when the economy goes south they're impacted very early on ... one of the best barometers of an economic downturn (weeks, sometimes months, before you start reading about it in the WSJ) transportation executives are aware that the economy is weakening. Column upon column of truck driver recruitment ads that appear in the paper in good times are disappearing rapidly. Driver recruiters for trucking companies are turning away applicants. Bottom line ... learning to drive a 'big rig' in todays economy isn't a guarantee of employment.
I commend your local community college or vocational school to your attention, specifically the welding courses.
Welding is a skill that is in high demand (always has been) and can be used everywhere. It's a skill I don't have (yet), but I plan to begin courses later this year.

LEFT ALONE? lots of luck with that one.
Very smart...I was downsized in Feb of 08 (after 16 years)and still have not found a job. Although it is in the freight industry, import/export. Too old to start something new.
This is a great article, totally agree. Americans are innovative, creative people. If you gots skillz, use them bad boys and learn some new stuff on the side. Also pay your debts down and don't owe anyone a damn thing.
Yes, it seems as if people are getting the message. Hopefully.

Uhmmm. Health care is not in the private sector. It is primarily a government reimbursment program
Never too old to learn something new. My grandmother learned to ride a motorcycle at age 84.

MPF is now part of The Marmon Group/A Berkshire Hathaway Company.
NME, LLC dba Midwest Plastic Fabricators (MPF) is uniquely positioned to provide non-metallic PVC electrical enclosures used in conduit systems for the electrical, power, utility, communication and controls industries. Our products are used to connect, terminate and alter the direction of conduit systems.
Since 1978 our company has been an innovative leader in products, manufacturing efficiencies and productivity. Our products are used to protect people and control systems from inadvertent contact with each other or to protect the systems from environmental damage. Made from engineered thermoplastics such as PVC and Polycarbonate (Lexan and Makrolon) they are manufactured to NEMA, UL, ETL and end user specifications and standards. The products are inherently safe and are non-conductive, non-sparking, non-corrosive, lightweight and colorfast. Many products are patented.
"In one case, a company that makes the machines that prints and folds the papers typically found in a prescription box found that it needed several different enclosure sizes to house the controls on the machine", says Tom Moran, president and owner of Midwest Plastic Fabricators (MPF, www.midwestplasticfabricators.com). "They had cobbled together a variety of standard enclosures," he says, with different sizes coming from different manufacturers. "They all looked a little different, and then they still had to put holes in them. They tried to adapt to what was available. Instead, MPF was able to make a variety of enclosures that looked like they belonged to the same family. All the necessary holes are done online as the enclosure is made, which is much less challenging than doing it after the fact."

APPEAL from the Circuit Court of Lee County; the Hon. JAMES E.
BALES, Judge, presiding.
Defendant was convicted of home invasion (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 38, par. 12-11) in a bench trial and sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary. He raises the following issues on appeal: (1) he was not proved guilty beyond a reasonable doubt; (2) he did not understandingly waive his right to trial by jury; (3) he did not receive the effective assistance of counsel at trial; and (4) the trial court failed to consider mitigating circumstances and the rehabilitative potential of defendant in arriving at the 10-year sentence. We affirm.
The State presented four eyewitnesses to the offense. Bobbie Wyatt testified that in the early morning of September 25, 1979, defendant and a companion followed her into her apartment. Defendant had visited her on occasion and the two were sexually intimate. After a few minutes Bobbie told the pair to leave and pushed them out the door. Defendant returned several minutes later and indicated that he wished to have sexual intercourse with Bobbie. Despite Bobbie's refusals, defendant remained outside the door and placed his hand in his pocket. One of the other residents of the apartment shouted that defendant had a gun. Bobbie then ducked and heard what sounded like a crash or a gun shot. She then saw defendant unlock the door by placing his hand through the broken glass in the door. Defendant had placed one foot in the doorway and was attempting to push his way into the apartment when Allen Bass, a resident of the apartment, pushed the defendant out of the door and fought with him outside. After the fight Bobbie observed defendant enter the apartment and take a record player which, she said, he had given her children as a gift. She testified that she had had three beers during the course of the day preceding the event and that within a few hours before the incident she had shared a marijuana cigarette. She also testified that she was on probation for a forgery conviction.
Judy Mowery, who was in an automobile parked next to Bobbie Wyatt's apartment building, testified next. She testified that she saw defendant, gun in hand, break in the door window of Bobbie's apartment and fire three shots. Prior to breaking the glass he shouted that he wanted his record player. Ms. Mowery further testified that after defendant broke the glass he entered the apartment momentarily. He immediately came back outside with Allen Bass. The two were fighting. During the course of the fight, three shots were fired outside the apartment.
Allen Bass testified that Bobbie Wyatt partially opened the apartment door and the defendant attempted to force his way in. Bass tried to help Bobbie close the door, but was unsuccessful. Thereafter, Bass hit the defendant several times in the face and defendant then pulled out a gun. Defendant stuck his arm through the door, pointed the gun and stated, "I'm going to kill you." Bass then pushed the defendant out the door. A fight ensued, and defendant fired three or four shots. Bass ran back to the apartment and into the bedroom. He then heard two shots fired and the sound of glass breaking. He left the bedroom and observed a man, whom he believed to be defendant, enter the apartment and take the record player.
Vicki Bolton, also a resident of the apartment, testified that she heard Bobbie shouting for help and then observed the defendant outside the front door holding a gun. A shot was fired through the glass in the front door, and defendant then broke the glass with his hands. Defendant reached in through the glass, unlocked the door, placed half of his body in the doorway and fired four or five shots inside the apartment. The defendant was shouting, "I'm going to kill you." The witness heard two shots fired outside the apartment and then observed defendant come back inside and take the record player. Ms. Bolton stated that she had consumed one beer several hours before the incident. At the close of her testimony the State informed the court that the witness had a prior misdemeanor theft conviction.
Detective Short of the Dixon police department testified that, upon arriving at the scene of the incident, he had observed, among other things, blood all over the inside of the apartment, and what appeared to be bullet holes in the front door glass, front door curtain, ceiling, and far wall. The detective recovered four spent cartridges and two live .25-caliber rounds from the scene. He testified that one of the cartridges along with the two live rounds were recovered from inside the apartment and that another of the spent cartridges was found in the doorway. He stated that the spent cartridges were later determined by the FBI laboratory to have been fired from defendant's gun.
Detective Short further testified that he questioned defendant through an interpreter.
The interpreter testified that when questioned, defendant stated he got into an argument with Allen Bass. Bass pulled his hair and threw him against the door, breaking the glass. Defendant then fired his gun into the ground and in the air to scare Bass. The witness stated that defendant specifically said he did not fire into the house.
Two Rochelle city police officers testified that they met defendant in the Rochelle Hospital emergency room. Defendant had gone to the hospital to have his arm treated which had been badly cut during the incident. The injury had not yet been treated by a doctor when they questioned him. One of the officers read defendant his Miranda rights. (Miranda v. Arizona (1966), 384 U.S. 436, 16 L.Ed.2d 694, 86 S.Ct. 1602.) Defendant indicated that he understood, and would waive, those rights. The officers then asked defendant whether he possessed a gun. Defendant replied in the negative but gave the officers permission to search his car. A .25-caliber semiautomatic pistol was later recovered from the car. The officers questioned defendant in English. Defendant replied in broken but intelligible English. He told the officers that once inside Bobbie Wyatt's apartment he fought with someone. He grabbed his stereo and started to run toward the door when someone pushed him into the door and fired shots at him.
Defendant testified in his own behalf. He stated that as he was leaving the apartment he decided to retrieve his record player. The door was still open, and as he attempted to re-enter the apartment, Bobbie Wyatt tried to close the door on him. At that point, Allen Bass grabbed the defendant by the hair. Defendant testified that he tried to get away from Bass and fell on the ground. Bass kicked the defendant twice and defendant then pulled a gun from his pocket and fired off to the side. After Bass ran back to the apartment, defendant returned to the apartment and retrieved his record player.
The offense of home invasion is defined as follows:
"Home Invasion. (a) A person who is not a peace officer acting in the line of duty commits home invasion when without authority he or she knowingly enters the dwelling place of another when he or she knows or has reason to know that one or more persons is present and
(1) While armed with a dangerous weapon uses force or threatens the imminent use of force upon any person or persons within such dwelling place whether or not injury occurs, or
(2) Intentionally causes any injury to any person or persons within such dwelling place.
Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 38, par. 12-11.
Defendant argues that the State failed to prove the elements of this offense. He contends that Bobbie Wyatt and Vickie Bolton were not credible witnesses and that their testimony conflicted with that of Allen Bass. Defendant charges that Wyatt's and Bolton's perception of the event was affected by the intoxicants they had consumed prior to the incident. He also contends that their credibility must be judged in light of their previous criminal convictions. He argues further that in contrast to these witnesses' testimony Allen Bass' testimony supports his account of the incident.
It is well established that in a criminal bench trial it is for the trial court to hear testimony and determine the credibility of witnesses. (People v. Eichelberger (1980), 81 Ill. App.3d 1012, 401 N.E.2d 1208.) Discrepancies and inconsistencies in the testimony affect only the weight to be given that testimony (People v. Cosey (1980), 82 Ill. App.3d 968, 403 N.E.2d 656), and where the evidence is conflicting it is the duty of the trier of fact to resolve the conflict and determine the credibility of the witnesses and the weight to be given their testimony. (People v. Cages (1980), 82 Ill. App.3d 900, 403 N.E.2d 565; People v. Smith (1980), 81 Ill. App.3d 764, 401 N.E.2d 1017.) Under such circumstances the appellate court will not substitute its judgment for the trier of fact. (People v. Cages.) Further, whether one acted in self-defense is a question to be determined by a trier of fact (People v. Walker (1978), 58 Ill. App.3d 535, 374 N.E.2d 880), and the trier of fact is not obliged to accept as true testimony concerning self-defense presented by the accused. People v. Harling (1975), 29 Ill. App.3d 1053, 331 N.E.2d 653.
In stating his findings the trial judge noted that prior to the incident Bobbie Wyatt and Vickie Bolton had consumed small amounts of beer and Bobbie Wyatt had smoked part of a marijuana cigarette but stated that there was no evidence that either witness was intoxicated or under the influence of drugs. Although our review of the record suggests the judge may have miscalculated the amount of beer consumed, there is no indication that the witnesses were intoxicated at the time of the offense. We cannot conclude that the trial court was incorrect in finding the testimony of these witnesses credible. Furthermore, nothing in the record, except for the defendant's own testimony, supports his allegation of self-defense; on the contrary, the State presents strong evidence that prior to firing his pistol while fighting outside with Allen Bass, defendant had threatened the residents with the pistol while attempting to push his way into the apartment. We conclude that the trial court could properly find that defendant performed all the elements of the offense of home invasion.
Defendant next contends that his waiver of a jury trial was not understandingly made. At his arraignment the discussion of a jury trial consisted of the court simply asking defense counsel whether defendant wished a jury trial and defense counsel replying, "Yes." On the day set for trial the court stated that it had been informed that defendant wished to waive his right to a jury trial. The court asked defendant through an interpreter if that was defendant's wish. The following colloquy ensued:
"INTERPRETER: He asked me to repeat that, your Honor.
THE COURT: It has been indicated to the court by counsel for defendant that he desires to waive a jury trial and to proceed to trial before the court or before the judge. Is that what you wish?
INTERPRETER: Yes.
THE COURT: Is that what you wish to do, counsel?
[DEFENSE COUNSEL]: Yes, your Honor.
THE COURT: All right, have your client sign a jury waiver."
• 1, 2 A "denial to a defendant of the right to knowingly and understandingly choose between a jury or a bench trial would be a `plain error or defect' which can be brought to the reviewing court's attention although not raised below." (People v. Hoover (1980), 87 Ill. App.3d 743, 747, 410 N.E.2d 195.) "Whether a jury waiver is knowingly and understandingly made depends on the particular facts and circumstances of each case." (People v. Brown (1977), 50 Ill. App.3d 348, 351, 365 N.E.2d 907.) It is preferred that a waiver only be accepted when, after being advised by the court, defendant personally waives his right either in writing or in open court for the record (People v. Murrell (1975), 60 Ill.2d 287, 326 N.E.2d 762) but "[a] jury waiver will not be held invalid where a defendant unambiguously chooses a bench trial with his counsel at his side unless some prejudice to defendant is alleged and proved." People v. Akis (1976), 63 Ill.2d 296, 300, 347 N.E.2d 733.
Defendant argues that his written waiver cannot be binding upon him because the record does not show that it was translated for him or explained to him in any way. Even were we to discount the reliability of the signed waiver form, the record shows defendant replied in the affirmative after the court twice asked him whether he wished to waive a jury trial. Defendant offers no proof that he failed to comprehend the exchange.
• 3 Moreover, it has been held that when a linguistic handicap of a witness is at issue the reviewing court, which has before it only the written record, should accord more than ordinary deference to the conclusions of the trial judge, who observed the witness' demeanor and gestures and heard possibly important variables of inflection and emphasis. (People v. Niebes (1979), 69 Ill. App.3d 381, 387 N.E.2d 800.) We conclude that such a deferential level of review applies here. The trial judge could see defendant's reaction to the question and could determine whether the response was a knowing one. We will not now conclude otherwise.
Defendant next contends that incompetent representation by his court-appointed counsel entitles him to a new trial.
• 4 Competency is determined from the totality of counsel's conduct at trial. (People v. Murphy (1978), 72 Ill.2d 421, 437, 381 N.E.2d 677.) It is well settled that "[i]n order to establish incompetency of appointed counsel, the defendant is required to establish actual incompetence of counsel, as reflected by the manner of carrying out his duties as a trial attorney which results in substantial prejudice without which the outcome would probably have been different." (People v. Carlson (1980), 79 Ill.2d 564, 584-85, 404 N.E.2d 233; People v. Greer (1980), 79 Ill.2d 103, 120-21, 402 N.E.2d 203.) A defendant is entitled to competent, but not perfect representation. People v. Hines (1975), 34 Ill. App.3d 97, 339 N.E.2d 489.
With that standard in mind, we review those instances which, defendant contends, evidenced counsel's incompetency.
Prior to trial defense counsel did not move to suppress statements made by defendant to police while awaiting treatment in the hospital emergency room. Defendant argues that the voluntariness of a waiver of his right to remain silent by one in the condition in which defendant found himself is suspect. Moreover, at that time his rights had been read to him in English, not Spanish.
• 5 Whether or not a motion to suppress should be filed is a matter of trial tactics and almost invariably has no bearing on the issues of competency of counsel. (People v. Hines.) Defendant has not shown that this omission demonstrates incompetent representation. He has not shown that such a motion would have been granted, nor that the outcome of the trial would have been different had such a motion been granted.
Defense counsel also did not object to the admission of certain exhibits into evidence, a .25-caliber semiautomatic pistol, some spent shells and some live rounds of the same caliber as the pistol, although the State had not established an unbroken chain of custody of those items. Counsel also failed to object to hearsay testimony of a State's witness, Detective Short, concerning the results of FBI testing of these items, which, the witness stated, established that certain .25-caliber shells found at the apartment fit defendant's gun. The judge stated at the conclusion of the trial that he considered this "rather serious evidence." Further, counsel did not object to opinion testimony of the detective regarding apparent bullet holes, powder burn residue and the trajectory of bullets although he was not qualified as an expert witness. The trial court gave much weight to the existence of bullet holes in the apartment.
We first note that although Detective Short was not qualified as a ballistics expert, he was qualified to testify that certain holes in the wall, the ceiling and a curtain appeared to be bullet holes. The detective was not asked his opinion as a ballistics expert, and he did not purport to offer it as such. Additionally, Bobbie Wyatt had testified that these holes had not existed before the night in question. We do agree that the detective's testimony regarding the FBI report was inadmissible hearsay and that the State failed to establish an unbroken chain of custody of certain exhibits.
It has been recognized that "incompetency is not established by mere failure to object to inadmissible evidence." (People v. Murphy, at 438.) We cannot conclude that had defense counsel objected to this evidence the outcome of the case would have been different. Substantial prejudice from error by counsel may not be based on conjecture. (People v. Jackson (1979), 79 Ill. App.3d 698, 398 N.E.2d 959). Even without the testimony regarding the FBI report and the admission of the exhibits the evidence of defendant's guilt is overwhelming. Therefore we conclude that these errors by defense counsel were not of such magnitude that they affected the outcome of the trial.
Defendant next contends that counsel failed to object to testimony for whose admission the State had not laid proper foundation. This testimony, by the Rochelle police officers and the interpreter, consisted of alleged oral statements by defendant. We have reviewed the record and see no impropriety in the State's presentation of this testimony and conclude no objection was warranted.
At the sentencing hearing defense counsel incorrectly designated a prior misdemeanor conviction of defendant as a felony conviction. Defendant contends that this misinformation affected the trial court's sentencing decision. However, the sentencing report prepared for the trial court did not specify whether that conviction was of a felony or a misdemeanor, and the judge merely stated that he was considering the fact that "[defendant] has had a previous conviction and has served time in Florida." Defendant has not demonstrated that his counsel's misstatement detrimentally affected the sentencing process.
Finally, defendant alleges incompetency is evident from his counsel's failure to file a post-trial motion for a new trial. Where there are no substantial grounds for a new trial, however, a failure to move for one cannot demonstrate incompetency. (People v. Cohen (1980), 83 Ill. App.3d 706, 404 N.E.2d 976.) As our disposition of this appeal shows, defendant has not demonstrated that he is entitled to a new trial.
• 6 Considering the totality of counsel's conduct, we conclude that defendant was competently represented.
As his final assignment of error, defendant contends that the trial court failed to consider several factors in mitigation and defendant's potential for rehabilitation.
The factors in mitigation that defendant argues should have been considered are as follows:
"(1) the defendant's criminal conduct neither caused nor threatened serious physical harm to another;
(2) the defendant did not contemplate that his criminal conduct would cause or threaten serious physical harm to another;
(3) the defendant acted under a strong provocation;
(4) there were substantial grounds tending to excuse or justify the defendant's criminal conduct, though failing to establish a defense;
(5) the defendant's criminal conduct was induced or facilitated by someone other than the defendant." (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 38, par. 1005-5-3.1(a)(1)-(a)(5).)
Defendant contends that a consideration of these factors would have induced the trial court to impose a less harsh sentence than it did.
The findings of the trial court at the close of trial belie the applicability of these factors.
Defendant also contends that the court paid no attention to matters that tend to support defendant's potential for rehabilitation, such as his family ties, employment, and education. He contends that the entire justification for the sentence was retribution for commission of home invasion and for his status as an alien residing illegally in this country.
Our State constitution requires that a court consider a defendant's rehabilitative potential in setting sentence, although it need not give greater weight to that consideration than to the seriousness of the offense. People v. Hayes (1979), 70 Ill. App.3d 811, 831, 388 N.E.2d 818.
At the sentencing hearing the court, weighing the factors which had a bearing upon the sentencing decision, noted that defendant showed no remorse or concern for his action. Although the court made no specific reference to rehabilitative potential, it is clear that it felt defendant's rehabilitation would not be quick in coming.
• 7 The court also commented upon the fact that defendant had entered this country illegally a number of times. Although the court might have spoken more prudently than it did, it was not improper to consider defendant's numerous illegal entries, as they evidence his lack of concern for law.
The possible range for sentencing for this crime, a Class X felony, was 6 to 30 years. We think, that as the court had properly followed sentencing procedure, the 10-year sentence it imposed was not an abuse of its discretion.
