Recently, the Beaufort GOP has undergone a restructuring with new leadership in place. Their web site which was not updated has a new look and better information and news access.
Jim Riordon the the new chair and is very much aligned with TEA Party and Conservative principles.
I encourage you to visit the page. BeaufortGOP.com
Beaufort County has over 90 Republican Precincts and less than half of them have the leadership seated. If we are to help exercise our TEA Party values, I highly suggest if you live and vote in one of the empty precincts you volunteer to take the open positions. Open positions are for the Precinct President, who organizes the precinct and schedules and presides over the meetings, and the Executive Committee-person, who votes on policy issues and attends all County meetings. ** These are two important positions, especially of the Executive Committee-person, who actively shapes policies in the County GOP. ***
If you are unsure what precinct you vote in, go to http://www.scvotes.org/ and check your registration.
Open Precincts are:
Support The Balanced Budget Amendment
Columbia, SC — Every legislative session has its signature moment when a piece of landmark legislation is signed into law by the governor. This year will be no different. The South Carolina legislature is grappling with education, roads, ethics and protections for battered women and abused children. One of the most important pieces of legislation that South Carolina will consider is S-30, a resolution which calls for a Convention of the States for the limited purpose of proposing a federal balanced budget amendment.
If the South Carolina House and Senate were to pass S-30, the 'Palmetto State' would join twenty-five other States that have passed similar legislation which collectively taps into the vast powers granted to the States under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. This authority empowers the States, upon the application of two-thirds the State legislatures, to call a convention to propose amendment(s) which three-quarters (38) of the States must ratify.
Write To Congress and The White House.
Get Educated
Read some of the following books
Invest Financially In Your Freedom
In the same way we budget for groceries, bills, etc. we now need to budget financially to support political action organizations who are looking out for us, as well as political candidates that espouse our core values.
Use T-shirts, baseball caps, bumper stickers and any other creative display to get your statement across. Use a powerful message that anyone can read. Exercise your First Amendment Right to Free Speech. (But please, keep it nice and clean!)
Get Connected
Visit websites that promote your core values and stay connected.
Get Informed!
We can no longer rely on a watchdog media to keep us informed of issues relating to freedom and morality. So, get on the email distribution list of watchdog political action organizations who are keeping an eye on Washington.
Follow the links to the left of this page and get involved! →
Minimize the Power of State Media and Hollywood Elite
Listen to talk radio, join a church, just don't take what is printed or in the media as the only truth.
Contact Congress on Important Legislation!
Washington must be reminded that any attempt to encroach upon our freedom, attack our faith and fiscal irresponsibility will not be tolerated! Contact the White House, Senate and House by phone, fax, mail and email. For contact information go to CongressMerge and Whitehouse.gov.

Lantern and Larks welcomes you to their unique holiday experience - a luxurious 'glamping' experience in the beautiful English countryside like no other.
Each tent has an open- plan living, dining and kitchen area, a covered front terrace and it's own bathroom with a gas- powered shower and flushing wc.
There really is everything you need in the tent - the kitchen is equipped with a butane hob and wood burning stove - ideal for cooking a delicious family meal.
There is a car park onsite, however we can't allow guests to park their car next to the tents - we provide wheel barrows to transport your belongings from car to tent. There is no electricity on site - we provide oil and battery lamps for light, and a log burner for cooking meals.
Each tent has its own gas powered shower with hot water, however there is no anti- scald facility and so children should be supervised.
There are firepits onsite that can be hired, for a charge of £10 per stay - included in this is an unlimited supply of logs. Open fires are not permitted on site, for safety reasons.
There is enough room in the tents for a travel cot to be brought along - we can also provide them for a charge of £15 per stay. Well behaved dogs are welcome to join their owners for a charge of £20 per dog, however we ask that they are kept off the bedding and furniture.
We do not accept stag or hen parties at any time, or large single sex groups during typical school holiday times. No parties or loud music after 9pm.
We can offer both week- long stays (Monday- Monday or Friday to Friday), weekend breaks (Friday to Monday) or mid- week breaks (Monday to Friday.)
Sweffling Hall is situated on the scenic Suffolk coast, and is the ideal secluded getaway for a family holiday with young children - there's more than enough open countryside to run around in and explore.
Once guests have booked and paid in full, we will send them detailed directions and other information in a welcome pack.

How can I change a submission to be complete after payment made?Asked by jimbrand on April 22, 2015 at 06:27 PM
Users have two ways to submit a registration submission:
One - they pay with PayPal and or use credit card which marks the submission as paid.
Two - they pay by check which when the form is submitted is marked incomplete submission. Once I receive payment I want to be able to show that payment on the submission report that is generated when I click on "Submissions" for a particular form. the form in question is 2015 Vendor Registration.
Any help you can provide will be appreciated.

You can also edit the submission status from the submission view , here is a detailed explanation :

Today was a banner day, because I gritted my teeth and clipped a horse for the first time in three years! I only did Ringo (Kiki is slated for Friday) and I was pretty nervous, but it actually went fine. It only took an hour and a half (as opposed to the three hours I was fearing) and, while there definitely are some tracks, they could be a lot worse.
(Ringo amidst the blizzard of white fluff that was his winter coat)
(Not Dually-levels of fuzziness, for sure, but still impressive!)
(Rachel holding Ringo to show off his new 'do - this picture totally does not do justice how much better his topline has gotten. But look! No more ribs! And he's starting to develop a butt! Progress)
I'm set to clip a school horse each on Tuesday and Thursday, and then Kiki on Friday. Looks like I'm going to have a lot of hairy laundry to do on Friday night...

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
A wedding is a special ceremony focused on love, family and friends. At Wedding Paper Divas, we believe the stationery for your big day should reflect the thought and care that has made it all possible. We offer a wide selection of wedding response cards that you can share with your guests when you send out your invitations.
Response cards serve several purposes, but perhaps the most important one is assisting you during the planning process. Putting a wedding together can be stressful enough–you don't want to worry about seating charts and costs. Sending out response cards to everyone you wish to attend gives you peace of mind so that you can plan everything accordingly.
A response card should accompany the rest of your wedding invitation suite. Impressing your invited guests and making everything more efficient involves printing your response cards in the same paper stock and style as the other stationery in your suite. Wedding Paper Divas offers a variety of paper options, including matte, cotton, and textured stock. Our print options include:
When you create your wedding stationery through Wedding Paper Divas, it's easier than ever to match everything up for an elegant presentation.
Depending on your preferences, style, and wedding activities, your response cards may look different. For example, if you're going for traditional etiquette and only want to be concerned with a head count, you can keep your card simple.
On the other hand, some hosts want to know meal preferences or have a section for guests to write notes. If you're having multiple events or festivities, your card may include response options for each.
Not only do we work hard to provide our customers with high-quality products, we also ensure everything is affordable. We regularly offer discount codes on stationery and shipping. If you're running out of time to get your cards delivered, we've got you covered. Learn more about our next day and super rush shipping options to get everything you need on time.
Although they are small, response cards serve an important purpose and grab attention when included with your invitation suite. Our site is full of wedding stationery tips and inspiration. If you're wondering what style you should go with or how you should word your enclosure cards, we can help. We know you'll have a fun and easy time creating your response cards.

"Very customizable, elegant and classy. The card stock was high quality and fashionable. The price was also excellent, since it included the envelopes."
"love how this card completes the set, inside the platinum folder it is exquisite. Love it! Customer service ( Evelyn) is outstanding! They helped put this beautiful set all together."
"I customized this card in plum to match the invitations. Just beautiful quality paper and printing. Highly recommend! Quick turnaround and several comments on how beautiful the invites were."
"We changed the accept/decline to: Hooray! I'm there! and... Sadly, I'm Square. We wanted something a bit less formal! :)"
"Again same paper and print quality. I ended up taking out the meal selections as I didn't need them and they centered everything on the card. I even added an extra line for names. The only thing I should have added was a "total number of guests" but it is still nice"

This Impact Brief is based on the study that documents the impacts of improved common bean varieties on field-level yields, costs of production, and household farm incomes among smallholders in Rwanda and Uganda. Effects are also examined so that the number of people escaping poverty due to the diffusion of improved varieties can be calculated.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL & martinibuster
Any ideas?
1) You put only ads on your home page and no substantial text (three words linked that allow you into the rest of the site).
2) Worse, you created your own advertisement for the site that urged members to click on an ad a day. And you made this posting:
"NOW let me explain to you WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO to SUPPORT [SITENAMEEDITEDOUT]
-As a valued member and well wisher you may click these ads(read above para)...everyday.Its benefitting if you can CLICK THEM EVERYDAY ATLEAST 10 TYMES ...AT REGULAR INTERVALS (at a strecth clicks from an ip wont be calculated)...! Even if the links are not interesting to you...this is the ONLY thing we are asking you to do to support us!
LIKEWISE if you click 10 CLICKS PER DAY AT VARIOUS TYM INTERVALS..then THATS WHAT WE CALL A WELL WISHING MEMBER!
To get the songs and other stuff free..EVERY MEMBER will have to do this for us without fail! Help us to Help you out!
Hope all members read this and is aware hereafter on the importance of clicking the ads. "
But of course you did nothing wrong and fully abided by the TOS of adsense
and suppose now you will wonder why you do not recieve a check from Google
If only G can catch another 100 more like you then advertisers may feel better about using content in their campaigns
And why is it always the sites with the most ads, and the most aggressive promotion of affiliate programs, that also expect you to pay cash directly via a "donate" button?
If I report, I will end up suspending some site like yours and thus get you removed from Adsense, but if I don't report I lost $200-300 every couple of days.
Just don't click fraud and you wont have an issue.
If I worked for Google, I would think I could find, investigate and terminate the accounts of, say, 4 an hour. (Since finding the frauds with effective Google searches is like shooting fish in a barrel, it could go much quicker but ass-covering due diligence and paperwork would slow things down a bit.) Then assuming you worked 8 hours a day (not the normal Google 10-14), you could get rid of 30 a day, about 500 a month. A diligent investigator could surely push that to >1000 a month.
Sure, I'm simplifying it but it seems like a few dozen people could do an amazing job at terminating many hundreds of publishers a day. Automated procedures should probably catch another few thousand a day. Wouldn't this be enough to keep the program fairly clean?
"please click on the google"
"please click" ads
Or, more phenomenal:
google "please support"
It's hard to conclude anything but that Google has a huge problem to deal with here. Surely the reputation of its program is worth $10 million a year in fraud-busters.
Just searched for <snip>
And the first 23 results had been redirected to the same spamer.

Sure hope Google is using this technique..
I just used the adsense contact form at the bottom of
[google.com...] to advise them to try searching on their own engine.
It's just crazy that within five minutes I can find three websites that are advising their users to click on the ads by google.
I have found forums where the owners asked the other members to have a "click day on Google---go mad!" and by the end of the day, the members reporting they had "worn out my mouse" clicking on the ads.
Now, of course G will non count many of these but I imagine a huge amount of these "invalid clicks" do get through. And we end up paying down the line through "smart pricing".
Hey, here's a smart idea...enforce your own ToS for once.
Diamond mentioned $10million to fix this. This is a problem that would cost $50,000 to fix. Offer $5 per crooked domain found and reported in the correct manner to G and the problem is gone by the end of THIS month.
But there is one big reason this won't happen and it pains me to say it:
Typical example below:-
First, thank you for taking the time to read this notice. These galleries are hosted and maintained by normal (i.e. poor) college students. We don't make any profit from this site; rather, we have to pay roughly $10 per month for web hosting, not to mention the time it takes to upload the pictures and code the web pages. It wouldn't be a big deal if it was just a one time thing. But the fact is, it's a recurring thing, and it builds up. The only "revenue" we get is from google ads placed on top of each page. Although it doesn't cover the entire cost of web hosting, it does help. So if you have it in your hearts, please click the ads! It's not a big deal for you (just a click), but it means a lot to us. Thank you, and enjoy the show. (^_^

Forms of electronic communication through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content.
Social media is a very helpful tool tool to help you stay connected with various people all over the world. Before social media was invented, people would have to write letters or call people to talk to them without being in their presence, but social media saves gas, paper, and phone minutes.Of course there is a downfall to everything. When interacting in social media, you have to protect your identity because it's not safe to post on the internet that you're home alone if you're a kid, out of town for the weekend, or just hit the lottery. Posting things like that online can cause you to get robbed.

Well this time I am going to present a strange artifact that may or may not be significant as it relates to our local Native American past, but it interesting at any rate!
As many of you know - I used to own a house on the east side of Spanish Hill which is now separated from the hill by Rte 220. Before the highway was put in however, the east side of the hill would have been in my own front yard. My next door neighbors had lived in their house for 60 - some years. It should be no surprise then that their sons had their own artifacts they had found from the hill as a result.
Each son as a matter of fact over the years that I lived there showed me all of the things that they had found as they played on the hill throughout their childhood. Sometimes they also would share their stories of how and where they found them...I being so intensely interested in all aspects of Spanish Hill that is private property, always loved to hear anything they could tell me.
One story and artifact in particular though takes the cake....
One of the sons named Dave is now middle aged, but as a child his front yard was the base of Spanish Hill. There was a gully that ran down from the top of the hill he claimed and one day he happened to see something white sticking out of the ground at the base of that gully and he gave it a kick. The pictures below are of the artifact that he kicked out of that gully that day.
The material is possibly steatite, although Dave claims that a professor at one of the local colleges claimed it was made from a hip bone. As you can see it is porous...and as I am no scientist, that's all I can tell you...
Where it was found - for those of you who are not familiar with Spanish Hill visit my site at:
As you can see, the hill has been used for centuries by many different people, but at one time, there were embankments that enclosed 10 acres on it's top and because of it's location, shape, artifacts that were found there as well as the fact that the ditches were on the interior of these embankments, it is believed that it was once a ceremonial space before the Europeans ever entered the region.
Of course it has been plowed and farmed and so on ever since that time as well...
The reason why I am telling you this is because when I posted this up on my SpanishHill.com site a couple of years ago, I had expected to have people tell me that it had to be a sculpture or some sort of artwork that fell off a building or something and was dumped there...but instead, I had someone contact me from Ohio with a theory that still makes me wonder even today...
The following is the email I received:
John Dunkleberger in Williamsport recently made me aware of your excellent and fascinating Spanish Hill web site. While I was perusing it, the soapstone figure caught my attention; since you are asking for suggestions as to its origin, I'd like to offer some information. I don't pretend to be anything more than an amateur archaeologist, but I have looked long and hard at many such figures. It is almost certainly an aboriginal American artifact, and the motif is very common and apparently widespread in North America, although professional archaeologists seem reluctant to recognize it, calling it "amorphous" and "the product of natural weathering". It also appears in European Paleolithic material and, in more refined form, in Inuit "transition art". It is a Janus-like figure with faces looking in opposite directions, one typically being noticeably anthropomorphic and the other more bird-like but with human-like features. Very likely the motif is quite ancient and primal, and I would bet that it appears in recognizable form in most parts of the world. To see enough of these figures to last you for quite a while, please take a look at my own web site, http://www.daysknob.com , describing an apparently quite old habitation site I have been investigating here in southeastern Ohio. It presents my description and attempted interpretation of various components of this "Bird Spirit" figure, and I think that after reading it you will quickly recognize more than just the human face in the soapstone. Here is a piece from Alan's website- http://www.daysknob.com - describing the "Bird Spirit": The Bird Spirit typically exhibits the following characteristics when all features are present: At least as frequently as the actual bird form, the image of a hybrid bird-human creature appears - referred to here as the "Bird Spirit". (Since this author seems to have discovered it, at least in this context, he presumably can call it whatever he likes.) For a while, this author was tentatively identifying numerous figures on stone tools as animals such as bear and wildcat. Then came the discovery of what appeared to be the image of a human head (shown leftmost in the top row below) made of a hard mud/ochre/coal amalgam, half buried at the bottom of a washed out rut in the "driveway" up the knob. In its mouth were two distinctly detailed birds joined together, and it was adorned with several other small bird images. Looking more closely at the mischaracterized "animal" images on the tools then revealed that these usually had mouths generally or distinctly shaped like birds, leading to the recognition of a highly standardized bird-human figure. The constant repetition of a complex and recognizable pattern was unmistakable. The Bird Spirit typically exhibits the following characteristics when all features are present: A mouth consisting of two birds conjoined most of the way back from their heads, and facing away from each other with their heads forming or occupying the corners of the mouth. When the figure is depicted only in profile, the mouth has the form of a bird facing toward the back of the head. This gives an appearance that easily causes the image to be misidentified as an animal such as a bear or wildcat. A bird, resting or sometimes perched, facing forward on top of the head, often suggesting shaman headgear. One or more birds or Bird Spirits emerging from the mouth. Eyes in the form of birds or bird heads, the two eyes typically being different in shape. A nose consisting of a bird facing downward. Ears in the form of birds. If a significant chin is present, this may be in the form of a bird or Bird Spirit head. A bird or Bird Spirit emerging in the manner of an egg, when the figure appears in full-length bird form. Possibly as a variation on this, a bird or Bird Spirit face often also appears at the posterior end of the figure. A bird or Bird Spirit emerging beneath the primary figure (when in full-length form), as if from the belly. The head of a Bird Spirit may be strongly anthropomorphic, with distinctly human nose and eyes at the front of the face, or more bird-like with an elon- gated head. In either case, it normally has a bird-shaped mouth rather than a beak. Below is a sketch of the general form, a simple schematic showing the typical components described above. (Unlike the people that created these objects, this author has no artistic talent. Do not laugh.)
This is a closeup of the carved face's mouth:
I am certainly no scientist and cannot say for sure what to think of it scientifically - but when you look at the mouth of this artifact ir does make you take a second look....and in my opnion, it DOES look like two birds as he describes!
However, when I go to Alan's website, I have to say honestly that at first glance, there seems to be this artifact from Dave/Spanish Hill and then what looks like a bunch of geo-facts. As a result, part of me has to ask if man made many of the pieces shown, or if nature did....and then if there is any other artifact that I can honeslty say is like Daves.
One thing I can say for sure is that man did make the artifact from Spanish Hill.
I decided to make this posting about this artifact and share the stories that accompany it simply as an interesting study of both science and the human imagination that I believe is worth sharing for many reasons.
I will leave you decide what to think of any of it.

Hello Everyone!
I have a user that is using an older Nextel phone with the Nextel Desktop Assistant. We recently upgraded his computer and he couldn't find the install file that he had used for the Next Desktop Assistant.
It is a nifty little program that will automatically sync up Outlook with a Nextel phone.
Of course Sprint no longer supports the program and doesn't host it anywhere anymore. You can find links, but they don't work.
If anyone has an old install file somewhere for this program and could let me have a copy, that would be wonderful!
Thanks in advance,
Erin0201 :)

I have found it. However, I don't think I can attach it to the post here. I've tried & it isn't working. I'm going to e-mail you here through Spiceworks... reply to it with your external e-mail & I will send it that way.

Thanks JerseyITGuy76!
Although it doesn't look like it is the right program.
The Nextel Desktop Assistant is made by Visto and is for synchronizing files with a Nextel phone and Microsoft Exchange. The file that you found is for some kind of desktop search assistant, unfortunately.
Thanks for the help though! I'll keep looking and hope that someone has the file tucked away somewhere. :)

"My earliest memories involve me trying to make sense of the world through artistic expression. Although my styles have changed dramatically over the years, much like a journal, they very much reflect whatever emotional state I was in at the time of creation. I find art to be extremely therapeutic, both in the meditative act of painting itself, and the feeling of relief and joy I have after I have brought something out of my mind into the world.
In my latest series entitled "Awakenings", I explore the duality between self-protection and vulnerability. They are the outgrowth of the biggest spiritual challenge that I have faced in my early 30's, both professionally and personally – that of maintaining a layer of armor to keep me resilient against the lows in life while at the same time remaining open to and excited by new experiences, wonder and surprise.
My background as a creative director for a fashion company has directly influenced the style of these pieces. I build the pieces digitally with a mixture of my own photography and high-fashion images I find online, then print, cut and collage meticulously until the composition is set. I then freely paint into the wood panels, so on one hand the work is planned out beforehand, but on the other, it is organic and surprising in its execution - kinda like life. " --Kayla Silber

About: Robert Jones & Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital Robert Jones & Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital Oswestry SY10 7AG
Posted by Carlynn Wignall
I had an operation in February 2014. I have visited many hospitals over the last 40 years as either an inpatient, outpatient or on a work related basis. I have never in my 60 years had such a positive experience. This has to be the best hospital in England/Scotland. Every care and consideration is given to the patients. The staff are consummately professional and friendly. Each step of any procedure is talked through. The pre- op meeting was so helpful and put my mind completely at ease about the operation. The consultant and his staff were so helpful and considerate. The hospital was a quiet air of confidence that immediately hits you when you walk through its doors. I must congratulate the cleaning staff as well because the hospital is immaculately clean.The canteen and coffee shop also need a mention as the food is excellent and service second to none. Well done ........... Wish other hospitals would follow your lead.

Liam Gallagher insulted by people siding with Noel
Liam Gallagher is insulted people think his brother Noel Gallagher was "carrying" Oasis.
The singer formed Beady Eye with the remaining members of the 'Lyla' rockers - Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock - when Noel quit the band in August 2009, and admits he was surprised so many people wrote off his chances of musical success without his older sibling.
He said: "I'm insulted that people think Noel Gallagher has been fing carrying this band for the last 18 years.
"People were saying [about Beady Eye], 'Oh it's going to be fing s**t.' It's like, are you tripping or what?"
The 'Bring the Light' singer is upset some critics and music fans have seemingly chosen sides since the brothers combusted, and he thinks people should give them both a chance on their own.
He added: "The Noel versus Liam thing, I'm a bit saddened by it, that some people feel like they need to pick sides. Like, I wouldn't go and see The Stone Roses and be like, 'I hate John Squire but I'm into Ian Brown,' or whatever."Posted on 30 Mar 2011 16:15 to category : Band / Celebrity News

March 3, 2011Consigli Construction Completes Transformation of 110 Free Street in Portland for MaineHealth
PORTLAND, ME – Renovation of the long-vacant former Sears & Roebuck building at 110 Free Street in Portland has been completed by Consigli Construction and Harriman, Architects + Engineers. The 89,000-square-foot, four-story building, originally designed in 1946 for retail use, was converted into a modern, Class-A corporate headquarters to consolidate and centralize operations for MaineHealth.
MaineHealth, the state's largest integrated healthcare delivery network, originally planned to build a new $40 million office and parking structure in Portland's Bayside neighborhood. When the initial plans did not materialize, the organization purchased the property at 110 Free Street with the goals of consolidating offices, creating opportunities for greater collaboration, increasing efficiency and saving on building operating costs in the future. The budget for construction was $100/sq. ft. and occupancy was required in early November 2010, necessitating fast-track construction.
"We are delighted with our new corporate headquarters and credit our design and construction team's professionalism, collaboration and teamwork with delivering an exceptional building," said Bill Caron, president, MaineHealth. "Consigli Construction and Harriman listened to our priorities and consistently maintained a very high level of professionalism throughout this fast-tracked project."
The design of the original retail structure was wider than a typical office building, so natural light did not penetrate to the center bay. Therefore, while several elements of the original building were preserved and restored, the main focus of the renovation involved the gutting of the central core to create a new atrium which allows natural light to flow through the space.
The building includes a new conference center and meeting rooms on the lower level which provide space for up to 350. Sophisticated video conferencing capabilities allow MaineHealth to connect with member hospitals throughout southern Maine, saving travel time and expense for its affiliates while enhancing communication. The lower level also houses a boardroom, catering kitchen, employee health/exercise facility and large staff break-room.
MaineHealth's building renovation included the refurbishing of HVAC system equipment, plumbing, and elevators. The large new atrium skylights draw natural light into the building and energy-efficient lighting systems throughout the building are equipped with occupant and daylight sensors. Original terrazzo floors on the ground floor were restored. In the future, a one-story portion of the building, formerly used as the outdoor sales area for Sears & Roebuck, will support an outdoor roof deck for employees, providing south-facing views of Portland Harbor and Casco Bay.
The building's damaged exterior masonry was repaired and new control joints over the entire envelope were installed to prevent future damage from expansion and contraction. In addition, existing parking lots received minor upgrades.
Fourteen months after purchasing the building, MaineHealth moved into its renovated facility—a new professional environment for 225 employees featuring a state-of-the-art conferencing center, a daylight-filled central atrium and room for future growth.

HTML code not pulling correctlyAsked by cassiewhitaker on December 02, 2014 at 03:49 PM
I recently copied and pasted html code of one of my forms into a web page on one of our event websites. All of the fields and information are not pulling correctly when I paste the the code onto the page. I have had our website provider take a look and they said that the problem is coming from the 3rd party (Jot Form).
The form that I am referencing is the IHMRS 2015 Exhibitor Inquiry form
Also, here is a link to the webpage that I have tried to paste the html into so you can see how it's showing up:
From what I can see everything seems to be working as it should. Not you probably mean those arrows on the left? That will always happen if you place a code on your page in a way such as you did the jotform. It is a direct part of your website and it will be directly applied by the styles of your own pages.
- For example, the same arrows are shown in the search the buyers guide..
Now to make sure that your jotform looks properly you should use the iframe embed method. The iFrame would serve as a break between your website and the form not allowing the code from the website to impact its code.
Do let us know how it goes.
With iFrame code, you are also able to do quick changes to your jotform without re-embedding it on your website pages every time to see the change.
Best Regards,
Hi Ben,
I did the iFrame option and now it is cutting off half of my form? See link below..
JotForm Support
This seems to be the issue with the div with class bodysheet_2-image having width of 300px.
This width needs to be increased upto 700px to match the form width. You can see the full width JotForm as below once the width of respective is increased.
Hope this information helps. Let us know if you have any questions. We will be happy to help.
Thanks Kiram. Once I adjusted the width it seemed to update and is now showing correctly on my website. However, for future reference shouldn't the source/iFrame adjust automatically to show up correctly on our website?
Yes, it does that, but this was caused by a style on your website clipping the iframe where the jotform was in.
There are many different ways to style parts of your website and some might hide, shrink, expand, move, etc parts of the page where the jotform is embedded, but just let us know and we would be happy to help you to have the jotform displaying properly.
Best Regards,

We'd do anything with Nicolas Cage. Plant daisies, go shirtless and shoeless for some Fight Club type action, embrace him from behind while making pottery and listening to The Righteous Brothers. You name it. Wait … what we were talking about again? Oh yeah, casting news … Frozen Ground. Read on …
According to Deadline High School Musical's Vanessa Hudgens (not pictured right because we couldn't resist reposting that picture of Cage) has been set to star alongside Cage and John Cusack in Frozen Ground, the Emmett/Furla Films thriller that is being sold in Toronto, with Voltage Pictures handling international sales. The film, which will begin shooting October 17 in Anchorage, Alaska, marks the feature directing debut of Scott Walker, who wrote the script.
The film is based on true events surrounding Alaska's most notorious serial predator, Robert Hansen. Cusack is playing Hansen, regarded in the community as a respected family man. In the span of 12 years, he abducted more than 24 women, flew them into the Alaskan wilderness, and hunted and murdered them. Hudgens will play the one teenage victim who escaped. When she returned to tell her story, nobody believed her. Cage will play the Alaskan State Trooper who finds her on the street. Together they work to bring Hansen to justice.
More as it comes.

Getafe name Riki price
By Peter ORourke
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Getafe have warned Liverpool they will have to meet their asking price for Riki.Getafe have warned Liverpool they will have to meet their asking price if they want to sign star striker Riki.
The Reds are reported to be lining up a move for the 25-year-old when the transfer window reopens in January.
Anfield chief Rafa Benitez is keen to bolster his attacking options and he is thought to have made Riki his top target.
Riki has enjoyed a fine season so far with Getafe, helping them into the top three, and Getafe president Angel Torres admits he is aware of interest from Liverpool and other clubs in the player.
"We realise that Liverpool or any big club could want Riki, but nobody has officially spoken to us. I don't know if they have spoken to his agent," Torres told Marca.
"I have to say that not Liverpool nor anyone are going to get him for é¼4 million (£2.73 million) - they have to pay his buy-out clause.
"He is an adaptable striker who is in the news and it would be a shame for us to lose him, but it's obvious that if someone pays his buy-out clause and he wants to go then there is nothing we can do about it.
"I am not surprised Liverpool may want him because he is in incredible form at the moment. Liverpool have scouts here and all over the place."
Meanwhile, Benitez has warned Harry Kewell that he needs to prove himself this season.
The Australian has struggled to hit the heights at Liverpool since his arrival from Leeds in 2003.
Kewell has failed to play this season through injury, but he is close to regaining full fitness and could feature in Wednesday's UEFA Champions League clash with Anderlecht.
Benitez has admitted that this is a big season for Kewell and that the pressure is on him.
"Harry will need some time to get back to his best, but this is an important season for him," said Benitez.
"Harry wants to be fit and playing again, he wants to show people that he can play and be a good player for Liverpool.
"He is disappointed with how it has gone for him during his time here, but he is a professional who knows what he is capable of and he wants to play.
"He has more confidence in his fitness now. Maybe in the past he didn't have that kind of confidence, but he does now.
"The fans have criticised him a little at times, but they see a player with Harry's talent, they realise he is good and they want him to perform better.
"If you are a good player and play for Liverpool, you have to expect supporters to say, 'Come on, play better'.
"I have to manage the situation and understand Harry's problems, but this is a season where he does have to play well."

Bacterial Vaginosis. It sounds utterly horrific, like something that could wipe out armies and decimate the global population in days. Move over pandemic flu. By the name we can guess it's something to do with vaginas, but what exactly is it? An Armageddon style STI that'll make your lady parts fall off? Someone call Bruce Willis.
OK, OK. It's an infection, but not a sexually transmitted infection, although conversely sex can bring on the symptoms. Bacterial vaginosis is what can occur if the balance of bacteria in your vagina is disrupted.
It's thought that 1 in 3 women will develop bacterial vaginosis during their life. Some have repeat infections. The symptoms are similar to thrush. Your normal vaginal discharge may turn thin and watery, and there may be a strong fishy smell, especially after sex. Your discharge may be white or grey too, but unlike thrush there are not usually any symptoms of soreness or itching.
It's not classed as an STI, but you do need to get treatment.
It's not thought that men can pick up bacterial vaginosis from female partners, but female-to-female contact may spread the infection.
You can develop bacterial vaginosis by using strong or perfumed soaps 'down there'. Here are some other triggers:
• Oral sex
• Vaginal deodorant
• Douching (flushing water inside the vagina)
• Hormonal changes in the menstrual cycle
• Semen (sex without condoms)

Probably every woman on the planet will identify with at least one of those triggers. It's easy to see why it's so common.
If your GP thinks you have bacterial vaginosis then they'll take a vaginal swab at the surgery or at your local GUM clinic. If it's positive, you'll be prescribed a course of antibiotics or an antibacterial cream, which is applied directly to the vagina. Simple.
If the infection keeps coming back you may end up with antibiotics to take at the start and end of your period.
There isn't any definitive evidence that bacterial vaginosis causes a problem getting pregnant, but some women with the infection have suffered premature labour, delivered low birth weight babies, miscarried, or delivered a stillborn baby. It's worth pregnant ladies asking for the test if they are concerned.
Oh, one last thing. We know now that bacterial vaginosis can lead to problems in pregnancy, but if left untreated it can also increase your risk of developing STIs such as gonorrhoea, syphilis, or genital warts. If you are concerned, or just want to be informed in case the topic comes up at pub quiz night, take a look at our bacterial vaginosis information page.
You are welcome.

It's barely a month into President Donald Trump's administration, and already the White House is rocking with breaking news of a shake-up that has led to the resignation of Michael Flynn from his national security adviser spot.
Flynn's abrupt departure from the White House came after reports he misled administration officials about the content and frequency of his communications with Russia's ambassador to the United States – a political misstep that critics said left him vulnerable to blackmail.
Flynn, in a letter dated Feb. 13, expressed remorse. The full text of his letter:
"In the course of my duties as the incoming National Security Advisor, I held numerous phone calls with foreign counterparts, ministers and ambassadors," Flynn wrote. "These calls were to facilitate a smooth transition and begin to build the necessary relationships between the President, his advisors and foreign leaders. Such calls are standard practice in any transition of this magnitude.
"Unfortunately, because of the fast pace of events, I inadvertently briefed the Vice President Elect and others with incomplete information regarding my phone calls with the Russian Ambassador. I have sincerely apologized to the President and the Vice President, and they have accepted my apology.
"Throughout my over thirty three years of honorable military service, and my tenure as the National Security Advisor, I have always performed my duties with the utmost of integrity and honesty to those I have served, to include the President of the United States.
"I am tendering my resignation, honored to have served our nation and the American people in such a distinguished way.
"I am also extremely honored to have served President Trump, who in just three weeks, has reoriented American foreign policy in fundamental ways to restore America's leadership position in the world.
"As I step away once again from serving my nation in this current capacity, I wish to thank President Trump for his personal loyalty, the friendship of those who I worked with throughout the hard fought campaign, the challenging period of transition, and during the early days of his presidency.
"I know with the strong leadership of President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Mike Pence and the superb team they are assembling, this team will go down in history as one of the greatest presidencies in U.S. history, and I firmly believe the American people will be well served as they all work together to help Make America Great Again."
Flynn's situation in the White House, and Trump's plans for his future, had been described right up until the final moments before his resignation as "fluid," leading some to believe he might actually keep his role. Top White House aides, however, had been urging Trump in recent hours to get rid of Flynn, seeing him as a political liability and untrustworthy figure who would become an easy target for Democrats to exploit.
The conflicting messages came from the highest positions of Trump's team.
Kellyanne Conway, Trump's counselor, tried to tamp down concerns about Flynn's fate in the lead-up to his resignation, telling national television audiences the general "does enjoy the full confidence of the president."
But Sean Spicer, Trump's press secretary, seemed to shortly after suggest otherwise.
"The president is evaluating the situation," Spicer said, within hours of Conway's public remarks.
It's not yet clear who might replace Flynn. Trump has yet to respond publicly to the resignation.
The most damaging aspect of the Flynn matter seemed to have come from reports of the acting attorney general, Sally Yates, informing the Trump White House in late January of her belief Flynn had misled the administration about his talks with Russia's ambassador. Specifically, Yates expressed concerns that Flynn told Mike Pence and others in the White House he had not spoken of the sanctions put in place under Barack Obama's administration against Russia over the election hacking scandal.

Pence's vote was in accordance with his post as president of the Senate. The Senate vote was 50-50, with two Republicans, Sens. Susan Collins (ME) and Lisa Murkowski (AK), voting against DeVos.
As Fox News notes, Pence's vote "marked the first time in American history a vice president has broken a tie on a Cabinet nominee's Senate confirmation – and the first tie-breaking vote by a VP since 2008."
"The Senate being equally divided, the vice president votes in the affirmative, and the nomination is confirmed," Pence said in the Senate.
DeVos has been one of the most controversial picks for President Donald Trump's cabinet. Objections to her nomination have come from both the left, including teachers' unions, and the grassroots base of the GOP who want to see the federal education department dismantled and oversight of education turned back to parents and local school districts.
Democrats, like ranking member of the Senate education committee Sen. Patty Murray (WA), highlighted DeVos' vast wealth and potential financial entanglements, as well as a lack of experience with the public school system. Republicans, such as Sen. Tim Scott (SC), however, said DeVos' work in the area of school choice, to help children in low-income school districts escape failing public schools, makes her qualified to lead an education system that is abandoning many of its students.
For the past 18 months, the Oregon Land Board has been working to sell the Elliott State Forest. The decision to seek buyers was based on the fact that the Elliott is losing money, and it is supposed to be making money for Oregon schools.
At its December meeting, the Board was presented with a firm offer of $221 million from a private buyer. Instead of accepting the offer, the Board did nothing. Governor Kate Brown said she wants to sell bonds to buy the Elliott so that it remains in public ownership.
The only problem is that the public already owns it. Selling bonds to buy ourselves out makes no sense.
Land Board members have a fiduciary obligation to maximize revenues from the Elliott for the benefit of students. Increasing taxes on the parents of those students to pay off bonds would be a breach of fiduciary trust.
The only way to ensure that taxpayers benefit is to sell the Elliott to private parties and place the proceeds in the Common School Fund, where the investment earnings are shared with school districts.
The two new Land Board members—Treasurer Tobias Read and Secretary of State Dennis Richardson—should work with the Governor to accept the private offer and move on.

Donald J. Trump decisively won the 2016 Presidential election, in spite of media projections which had him trailing by as many as 6 percentage points just days before the election. In his acceptance speech Trump displayed a great deal of humility and promised that he would not let the people down.
Trump broke the mold when it comes to campaigning, winning the Republican primary with more votes than any candidate in American history. He had the republican establishment scrambling for a 'Plan B' alternative, in spite of the massive popularity Trump has with the average voters, who swarmed to rallies across the country with counts rivaling any rock concert in recent history. The night before the election was no exception when more than 17,000 gathered after midnight in Michigan, many standing in the cold outside, with more than 65,000 more watching live on the internet. That may have been the tipping point as Trump is expected to win Michigan's 16 Electoral College votes.
As of this writing Trump has 279 Electoral College Votes, and according to the New York Times is expected to finish with 306.
Despite her campaign manager John Podesta, who appeared on national television just after 2:00 am to announce to the crowd gathered at Clinton Campaign Headquarters that they would not have results until the next morning, Hillary Clinton called Donald Trump on the phone to concede the election.
Trump will take office following his swearing in on January 20, 2017, and will be working with a Republican controlled House and Senate.]]>
After nine and one half years in the U.S. Army Infantry and an honorable discharge, which was followed by 910 days In-Country, spanning fourteen tours between Iraq and Afghanistan as a CIA Security contractor, Paul Eckel has known the horrors of battle.
One of his worst days he recalls was when they were trying to administer first aid to a young child in Afghanistan who had received third degree burns over one hundred percent of his body from an explosion. "The medics tried everything in our makeshift tent-hospital, but in the end the trauma was too severe and we lost him. I'll never forget that even as the child had been overcome for several minutes with severe seizure like tremors, in the end his body became totally still and his arms reached upward as though he was being embraced."
Eckel says that all of the trauma of battle he had witnessed from Kosovo to Deh Rawood, his recent battle with the State of Oregon over his right to parent his children has been a level of terror he has never before experienced. "I am used to reacting in a tactical situation with a plan and a calm determination to bring things swiftly to a resolution. Dealing with DHS, where the battlefield shifts and the rules change constantly, has been very trying!"
Eckel, who has been divorced for three years from his wife Annelisha, has been raising his four children in an equal shared custody arrangement, with full custody every other week. Everything was going along fine he said until August 15, 2016 at about 8 pm when his oldest son Cayden called his cell phone and told his dad he needed him to come and get him and his three siblings right away. Eckel asked his son what was going on and his son told him that he had grabbed his younger brother and sister and they were running from their mom.
Eckel left his home in the family van with the trailer in tow, hauling their river raft, from an outing they all had enjoyed earlier in the day, and headed out to the Green District where his ex-wife lives with her parents. There he found the older two hunkered down alongside the road and picked them up.
There was an altercation with his ex-wife in which he claims she pulled in front of his van attempting to impede his progress, which Eckel said created a dangerous situation and the possibility of a collision.
He called the police, and they came to a location near Roseburg City Hall and took statements from all the parties. The result of which, according to Eckel, was the police said for him to take the kids who were with him, home for the evening to create some space to let things de-escalate.
He then took ten year old Cayden, seven year old Ashten, and his five year old daughter Lexie home with him that night. The next day he took them back to their mother as it was her week with the children. The following day he received a call from his oldest son Cayden stating that his grandfather had forced his mom to call Child Protective Services on him, alleging he was bruised from a spanking Paul had administered. Annelisha subsequently sought a protective order from Judge Ambrosini which was based upon an alleged "immediate danger".
Paul said the spanking in question was administered with a spanking rod and consisted of one stroke each on the buttocks of the two older boys who had been misbehaving. It was not excessive according to Eckel and the family enjoyed the rest of the evening together before bedtime.
The hearing for that Immediate Danger order was not held until September 14, 2016 nearly thirty days after the August 15 incident. During this time Eckel was not allowed any contact with his four children.
After several hours of testimony in the courtroom from both Paul and Annelisha as well as "expert witnesses" called by the mother's lawyer, Ambrosini found that the Immediate Danger Order was unwarranted and found that "The children were not in immediate danger at the time the order was issued" and entered an order setting that earlier order aside.
Paul Eckel was found by the court to pose no danger to any of his children, and Ambrosini ordered the original shared custody arrangement to be put back into effect.
Eckel said the relief was immense and he felt a giant burden had been lifted. But the celebration wasn't to last long as within the hour he received notice from DHS that in spite of the judge's ruling on the case, they were filing a separate case against Paul Eckel alleging the children were in danger and sought to have his shared custody revoked.
When dealing with DHS, unlike any other legal arena, the charges brought against a parent take precedent, and the parent is presumed guilty until they can muster a defense to prove their innocence.
Eckel had already been represented in Ambrosini's court by Rahn Hostetter, an attorney from Enterprise Oregon, who had left Roseburg that afternoon heading back to Enterprise to work on other cases pending. Hostetter was retained a second time to fight the same charges which had already been dismissed by the court, but this time filed by DHS against Eckel.
The first round in the new proceeding was heard by Judge Stanton, who granted DHS custody of the four children, but granted Paul Eckel supervised visitation.
During the weeks that have followed, his children have had forensic interviews with court appointed psychologists who have tried to determine if the children are in danger.
What is deeply troubling in this proceeding is that the DHS hired Douglas C.A.R.E.S. representative Vicki Steinly, in her effort to prove Eckel could pose a danger to his own children, even though the court found otherwise and absent any such family history, has now invented a medical history for Paul Eckel, alleging that he suffers from PTSD, and that he has been prescribed psychotropic medication to treat the condition. Mr. Eckel in fact has no history of PTSD following his military and CIA employment, and takes no such medication!
The Beacon has obtained a letter from the Department of Veterans Affairs which proves that Eckel has been screened in 2013, 2015, and as recently as September 2016 "in which all screen results have been negative for PTSD. There is no indication within the medical chart that this Veteran has or has ever had PTSD."
Eckel has also been asked to interview with Douglas C.A.R.E.S. and to complete a psychiatric evaluation; a request he declined. He said they were prejudicial towards DHS and their efforts to take his parental rights from him. So instead Eckel has engaged the services of a Doctor in Eugene who will be filing an official finding with the court at the next trial set for November 9, 2016.
Eckel said he has always enjoyed a happy positive relationship with his four children and that his job as a single father is the most important job he has ever held. "We have a beautiful family dynamic with wild love and adventure. This has been the norm for years now as a single father of these four beautiful children. To have a government entity abruptly invade our lives and mandate a sentence based on "allegations" is tragic and truly abusive to our happy family."
Now Eckel is faced with three new court dates to prove again that he is who he claims to be; a loving father who poses no danger to his children. The trial has been set for November 9, 18, and 30th, because DHS said it would take that many days to present their case against Eckel. Meanwhile Eckel's lawyer, the former District Attorney for Wallowa County, Rahn Hostetter, has said this move by DHS makes it economically impractical for them to represent Eckel, spreading the trial over three full days, spread out over three weeks. The travel costs have become prohibitive. Eckel says he believes this was the intent of DHS, to get Hostetter off the case and force him to seek new counsel.
Eckel has been able to mount a defense, which resulted in a not-guilty verdict, and return of his parental rights from the first trial in Ambrosini's courtroom. And now he has to raise tens of thousands of dollars more to do it all over again, retaining new counsel.
Salem, OR-The Cover Oregon litigation is complete. On September 15, 2016 a settlement was reached for $100 million, of which Governor Brown said $60 million is for 'free IT services' from Oracle, $10 million is for science education, and $25 million is for expenses.
But something that has gone all but unnoticed and unmentioned in the aftermath, until now, is the law firm that handled the lawsuit for the State of Oregon. Why did the Attorney General farm out this litigation to a private law firm instead of using lawyers in the Oregon Department of Justice? Instead her office chose Markowitz Herbold PC to handle the case.
What has not been explained is how the contract for legal services was let out, and was it a no-bid contract? These questions have not been answered. As of yet the Oregon Department of Justice has not disclosed any information on the contract.
What is clear, according to a report filed on Open the Books.com, a non- profit watchdog that claims to be "The World's Largest Private Database of Government Spending", is that the Markowitz Herbold law firm has received payments from the Oregon Justice Department in excess of $36 million dollars since 2012, the year Governor John Kitzhaber appointed Ellen Rosenblum Attorney General.
According to Daniel Crowe, Republican candidate for Attorney General, "The $25 million in cash provided by Oracle for this settlement goes straight to Markowitz Herbold, the politically-connected Portland law firm hired to handle this case. And what some have found troubling is that Markowitz Herbold is one of Ellen Rosenblum's most generous campaign contributors."
What Ellen Rosenblum's office needs to explain is why these legal services were farmed out, directing taxpayer money to a law firm which has contributed sizeable amounts to her campaign.
Crowe added: "Because of a complete lack of transparency on the part of the Oregon Department of Justice, the onus is on the incumbent Attorney General to explain why tens of millions of dollars of legal business has been steered to a campaign contributor."
As for the Oracle settlement, which was less than 1.67 % of the amount the state was demanding of Oracle, there is some concern that the $60 million amount designated for "free IT services" may be very misleading. According to a Portland Tribune article the consulting firm KPMG estimates that it could cost the state between $490-515 million to access the "free" Oracle services tendered in the settlement agreement.]]>

Roseburg, OR- At the conclusion of a year-long investigation headed by Susan Payne, Operations Manager of the Douglas County Assessor's office, into the personal property tax accounts it has been determined that county taxpayers were overcharged to the tune of $14 million, including interest. Payne, before joining the Douglas County Assessor's office was the head of the personal property tax division for the Oregon Department of Revenue.
Roger Hartman, Douglas County Assessor said the scale of the error is disturbing, but that it involves a review of 10,000 personal property accounts, 6,000 of which (60%) were overcharged. He said he notified the county commissioners, the Oregon Department of Revenue, the District Attorney and the Sheriff of his findings. The D.A. and the Sheriff determined that it would be better for the Department of Justice to conduct a further investigation as to any negligence or violations of law that may have occurred, rather than have one county office such as the Sheriff's Department or D.A.'s office investigate another county department.
All of the erroneous valuation data Hartman's staff uncovered occurred before he took office in 2015. Hartman said he wants to assure taxpayers that the valuation problems which led to the overtaxing which occurred the five years prior to his taking office, have all been corrected. The question that remains however is the refunding of the excess taxes.
Hartman said the Department of Revenue (D.O.R.) told him that he can't go back and issue refunds if the overtaxing was based upon valuation. The difficulty, Hartman says, will be going through each account and making that determination. This will require an increase in his staffing, or assistance from the D.O.R.
What the year-long investigation conducted by Hartman, Payne and the Douglas County Assessor's staff uncovered were errors in calculating personal property taxes owed, including: charging taxpayers for property that no longer existed; charging late filing penalties that exceed state statutory limits; adding value to asset lists without supporting documentation; and filing fictitious substitute returns.
The county's exposure as to how much of the $14 million will have to be repaid is unclear, pending further investigation, but Hartman estimates that it could be reduced by D.O.R. determination to somewhere in the 2-3 million dollar range. He fears that without additional funding or staffing, it will be difficult to determine the eligibility of individual taxpayers to receive their refunds, and that little if any of the excess taxes will be returned.
The source of the refunds would come from the county's unsegregated funds account, the balance of which he said he did not know.
In the meantime his office has certified the 2016-17 tax rolls which indicate approximately $102 million in taxes on real and personal property are due, based upon an overall county-wide valuation of approximately $8 billion in property values. Hartman said this certification of the rolls was completed five and one half days earlier than last year, and the two years prior to that. This is significant because the tax statements are based upon the certified rolls. He attributes this early completion to the hard work and determination of his staff.
The county receives slightly less than ten percent of that amount, approximately $1.11 per thousand of assessed property values. Douglas County is the fourth lowest recipient of property taxes in Oregon, meaning 32 counties receive a higher share of property taxes than Douglas County. The rest is spread throughout the 123 taxing districts such as schools, fire, road districts, etc. The county's portion is almost exclusively earmarked for the Sheriff's Department.
Hartman has come under recent attacks from within county government. In documents released to the local daily paper only, it was revealed that the county's manager of Information Technology, Building Facilities and Parks, Kevin Potter, along with Jessica Hansen, the county's Chief Financial Officer, and Michael Kurtz, Human Resources Director, all filed complaints against Hartman with the Douglas County Commissioners, alleging mismanagement and in some cases potential ethical and legal violations.
When asked how this information, which was clearly intended for internal use by the commissioners, came into the hands of the daily paper, there were no explanations from the board. Hartman said he asked Commissioner Freeman, who said he did not release it. The Beacon asked Commissioner Boice who also denied any involvement in the release. Freeman declined returning our call asking for comment.
Boice did admit that several weeks ago he asked Kurtz to do an evaluation of the Assessor's Office. "I asked Michael Kurtz to get me a summary of all of the different issues with the employees in the assessor's office." Boice added that "I'm planning to be the new liaison commissioner for that department in January, so I wanted to come up to speed on their staffing needs". Boice did not know how, or why the other two departments were tasked to do their own evaluations.
Michael Kurtz, in his report alleges that many employees in the assessor's office have been fired or replaced under questionable circumstances. Kurtz said that he realizes Hartman is an elected official, but that "…if any other non-elected Department Head had the same record as Roger Hartman of personnel management issues, substantiated allegations against them for harassment, and multiple violations of County fiscal policies-I would be strongly recommending to the Board of Commissioners that they be terminated from their appointed position."
When asked about Kurtz's accusations, Hartman said Kurtz has "misrepresented the facts". Hartman also said that of the fifteen employees who are no longer with the assessor's office, six of those the result of budget cuts from the commissioners, and several more retired. There have been no formal complaints filed with the Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI), and according to Hartman, no wrongful termination complaints filed with the county.
When asked what he thought the reason was for hostile actions from Kurtz and the other two department heads, Hartman said; "Some of the allegations made by the three disgruntled department heads, have, in some cases an element of truth; for example how many of the staff have left the department. But I believe a great deal of this comes from embittered long-term county employees who have made my transition into this office very difficult, from day one. I suppose that my private sector experience and approach doesn't set well with career government employees, and may be perceived as a threat."
Hartman also said that his current staff is doing an outstanding job, and that the recent discovery of the overtaxing all occurred under a different staff. "We have some of the best trained and most qualified staff in the department's history, including our Assessment Manager, Frank Lassen, with over 25 years assessment experience, including 14 years with the Department of Revenue. Our entire staff has a 'can do' attitude when it comes to helping the public."
The bottom line Hartman said is that "My commitment has not changed since I took office, which was to have accurate values on the tax rolls, and to treat the taxpayers with the respect they deserve."
Hartman was elected in 2014 with an approximately ten percent margin of victory over the incumbent County Assessor Susan Acree. This was the first time in over forty years that a sitting assessor has been unseated in Douglas County. Hartman's term is for four years and ends in 2018.]]>
