Groton — Pete Chappell, who owns a business and a home in Poquonnock Bridge, said he can't afford increased fire district taxes, but he also believes the increase is misunderstood.
The proposed annual fire district tax rate in Poquonnock Bridge - 9.5 mills - would cost the owner of a home with the district's median value of $100,100 $950.95 per year.
Chappell will attend the annual meeting to find out what's going on, he said. He doesn't know yet how he will vote.
Poquonnock Bridge's Fire District Board on Tuesday approved a budget of about $6.36 million for the coming fiscal year, which would raise the district tax rate from 5.2 mills to 9.5 mills. One mill is equal to $1 of tax for each $1,000 of assessed value.
Fire district President Alan Ackley said he had to approve the budget even though he doesn't support it. He said the district had no choice because it's awaiting a court decision on a disputed 10-year labor contract with the firefighters' union and could lose that battle.
"As a taxpayer, I'm totally against this budget, but, unfortunately, I'm legally bound to do it," he said.
The head of the union, Kale Kiley, meanwhile has refused to offer any public comment.
Ackley and the union leadership have been feuding for a year over issues that have affected the department's finances and operations.
Taxpayers must set the coming year's budget at an annual meeting by the end of May. The date, time and place of the meeting have not been set.
Ackley said a lawyer will preside over the meeting, which last year turned into an ugly scene in which people yelled, swore and stormed out. This year, residents will vote the proposed budget up or down, then consider amended figures if needed, Ackley said.
District board member Deborah Montiero said she believes the budget proposal could have been lower. It includes money for volunteer training and uniforms and $1 million for post employment health and life insurance benefits, she said. These amounts could have been reduced to make the budget more palatable, she said.
The proposed district spending plan would meet the obligations of the disputed 10-year union contract if the fire district board loses its case. The Connecticut State Board of Labor Relations recently reaffirmed its decision that the contract stands, so a Superior Court judge must decide the outcome. The Town of Groton has petitioned to intervene in the appeal, but the judge hasn't decided what extent to allow.
The proposed spending plan would maintain cuts to the fire district that have been in place since last year. The Fort Hill Station would remain closed. Firefighters would continue to respond to medical calls using a pickup truck rather than an engine.
Chris Stearns, a volunteer with the Old Mystic Fire Department, said he believes this shouldn't be done.
"If they're on a medical call and come across an accident or a fire, now what? I've got to call mutual aid or go back to (the station) to get an engine? That shouldn't be," he said. "That should not be out on the road."
One firefighter and the fire marshal retired in the last year, but there will be no new hires.
Board member Ron Yuhas said he believes the district should include $1 million for post-employment benefits; otherwise it's digging itself more of a hole. But it's the taxpayers' decision, he said.
"If the town people hoot and holler and there's no money for it, there's no money for it," he said.
Taxpayers last year authorized $614,000 to buy a replacement pumper truck, but the money was not spent. It remains in a capital reserve fund, Fire Chief Todd Paige said. The district has five years to spend money on capital projects.
Paige said the district didn't know last year whether it would have firefighters to assign to an engine due to its financial crisis.

Why can't people send me Facebook Messages?
Not able to receive Facebook Messages from non-friends
I am in several groups on Facebook, and sometimes when conversations from those groups need to be taken OFF of the group wall into a private message, people who aren't my friends weren't able to message me.
This puzzled me since my Facebook privacy and security settings are nearly all set to make me very visible, very public.
I think I found the solution, a relatively simple fix, actually, and I'd like to know if it helps some other people as well.

A Candid Social Media Manager Moment
Jeff captured a candid social media manager moment a couple of days ago.
Here I am in my living room in my 'casual' office. LOL! He really caught me off guard. I'm looking a little tired from a long day of work and obviously not looking ready to walk out the door to a public business meeting. But he found this set-up amusing (and pretty typical of how I often have several things going at once).
Jeff's comment about the photo was telling:
What social media managers look like when they are working – 3 computers, 1 iPad, 1 iPhone, and a regular phone.

A challenge both reverse engineers and automated sandboxes have in common is identifying whether a particular file is malicious or not. This is especially true if the malicious aspects are obfuscated and only triggered under very specific circumstances.
There are a number of techniques available to try and identify embedded shellcode, for example searching for patterns (NOP sleds, GetEIP etc), however as attackers update their methods to overcome our protections it becomes more difficult to find the code without having the exact version of the vulnerable software targeted, and allowing the exploit to successfully execute.
In this post, I will discuss a new technique I have been experimenting with, which approaches this issue from a different perspective, forcing the execution of the exploit code, no matter what software you have installed. It is based on two core principles:
- If you try and execute something that isn't code (e.g. a text string), the ...

Hotel Al Ponte Mocenigo is a beautiful Boutique hotel which is affordable, spacious and convenient. Everything in Venice is expensive especially near The Grand Canal. This hotel has restaurants and gelaterias near by. If you stay here and dine near by, it will be more affordable. You won't be able to take in the Grand Canal View, but you can enjoy the view on your Vaporetta ride.
The hotel has a great courtyard for breakfast and enjoying some well earned relaxation after a day of touring.
There were 4 of us and we rented a 2 Bedroom, 2 Bath apartment with a sitting area. The room was lovely and there was a speaker box which you must use to gain access into the housing quarters.
Bottom line, I would stay here again. Nice staff and an easy location.

2001 Toyota Tundra Q&A
2001 Toyota Tundra Question: rotors
was told warped rotors was a factory defect with this truck what rotos or calipers will fix the problem - villageautoamelia
2 Answers
Answer 1
Any vehicle disc brakes will warp the rotors, especially a truck that hauls things. Generally you don't need to fix or replace the calipers just because the rotors are warped. Just make sure that the pistons retract properly and that the slide pins actually slide and are clean and not rusty. I would also do the pads with factory pads. This will help keep the rotors cool. Some times the cheaper after market pads get too hot and will cause the rotors to warp prematurely. Good Luck and Happy 4th - dandd
Answer 2
This was actually a Toyota TSB in which they actually upgraded the truck with larger calipers, those used on the 2003 to 2006 models. The TSB however, is only good if your truck is within a certain mileage and year range. Obviously our 2001s are no longer within that range. I replaced my rotors with Brembos and they seem to be holding up quite well nearly 20,000 miles later. - Visitor

Can you get a decent track saw for $180?
That's the question Marc Spagnuolo asked when he ordered Grizzly's new T10687 Track Saw. It's an interesting question because track saws are not very common in this country and up until now only high-end models were available. The Grizzly saw, which just came out, sells for about half the price of machines from Festool, DeWalt, and Makita - $180 for the tool only and $245 for the Master Pack, which includes a saw, 55-inch track, and a pair of clamps.
Having seen Spagnuolo's review, I'd say he gave the tool the benefit of the doubt but there's not much doubt it's a big step down from major brand track saws. The performance might have been improved by switching to a better blade but then there goes some of the savings. And it sounds like he received a cupped rail or a saw with a cupped base – and there's really no fixing those.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
What a crisis has done to the people of Greece
26 Apr 2013 11:10 GMT | Politics, Asia Pacific, US & Canada, North Korea, South Korea
South Korea has decided to withdraw the roughly 175 of its nationals stationed at Kaesong joint industrial zone after North Korea rejected Seoul's offer to open formal talks on restarting operations at the complex, according to a senior official.Seoul said on Friday it was worried about its workers not having access to food and medicine at the factory park that has been closed for nearly a month.
The statement by the country's Unification Minister Ryoo Kihl-jae raises a major question about the future of the last major symbol of inter-Korean cooperation as tensions remain high in the region.The jointly run industrial zone located inside North Korea on the border with the South provides jobs to more than 50,000 North Koreans, who withdrew after their government decided to shut operations there.
Pyongyang's powerful National Defence Commission (NDC) earlier said Seoul's demand for working-level talks was deceptive and that ongoing US-South Korean military drills and the spreading of anti-North Korea leaflets at the border were proof of Seoul's insincerity.Seoul on Thursday had given the North 24 hours to agree to formal negotiations on the Kaesong complex, warning of unspecified "significant measures" if Pyongyang declined.
"If the South Korean puppet force continues to aggravate the situation, it would be up to us to take any final and decisive grave measures," South's Yonhap news agency cited the NDC statement as saying.'Military' contingency
Pyongyang suspended operations on April 9 because it was angered by the South's "military" contingency plan to protect its staff at the site.
"We've decided to protect Kaesong Industrial Complex no matter what difficulties we may face," said a spokesman for the South Korean companies, Ok Sung-seok.But the number of South Korean workers has drastically come down to 176 from about 850.The North's decision to suspend operations was unexpected.
Neither of the Koreas has allowed previous crises to significantly affect the complex, which is a valued source of hard currency for the impoverished North and seen as a bellwether of stability on the Korean peninsula.

Despite the military manoeuvres, South Korea has not yet pulled out workers from a joint industrial park.

Just How Risky is Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion?
Heather Libby | May 19, 2015
By Heather Libby • Tuesday, May 19, 2015 - 11:23
With the May 27 deadline for evidence submission to the National Energy Board's review of the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion project fast approaching, the cities of Burnaby and Vancouver are stepping up.
Last Wednesday, the City of Burnaby quietly released a report [PDF] outlining the risks and possible implications of a fire at the Burnaby tanker terminal. The results, to quote Mayor Derek Corrigan, are "comprehensive and jarring."
"It is remarkable that Kinder Morgan is even asking the citizens of Burnaby to assume such risks, but even moreso that the National Energy Board is willing to consider expanding this storage site in this location — on a hillside near thousands of residents and a busy university, and adjacent to an urban conservation area. This report clearly demonstrates that questions about the safety of this proposed tank farm expansion should be answered prior to any decisions being made by the NEB and that the Board should consider this an essential priority."

Environmental groups plan lawsuit over spotted owl
A coalition of environmental groups has signaled its intention to sue the federal government for denying the California spotted owl protected status under the U.S. Endangered Species Act.
The Center for Biological Diversity, Sierra Nevada Forest Protection Campaign and six other groups on Wednesday filed a 60-day notice of intent to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service over its decision in February to deny a petition filed by the groups seeking federal protection for the owl.
Environmental groups say the owl, which inhabits old-growth forests in the Sierra Nevada, is threatened by logging.
The Fish and Wildlife Service's decision not to list the owl under the Endangered Species Act was based on the assumption that the owl's habitat in the Sierra Nevada would be largely protected by the Clinton administration's Sierra Nevada Framework, a plan that restricted logging to protect the owl's habitat.
Environmental groups contend that the Bush administration, as part of its Healthy Forests Initiative, has proposed a substantially weaker plan that would triple logging of national forests in the Sierra Nevada.
"The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service relied on the (Clinton) framework to deny protection for the owl, even though they knew these protections were on the Bush administration's chopping block," said Noah Greenwald, a conservation biologist with the Center for Biological Diversity. "This decision flies in the face of common sense."
Unlike the northern and Mexican subspecies, the California spotted owl has never been listed under the Endangered Species Act. Like its cousins, however, the California spotted owl is closely associated with old-growth forests. Listing proponents say that more than a decade of studies have determined that the owl's population is declining and is cause for significant concern.

To look around my house you would think I invented eclecticism. My penchant for yard sales, flea markets and curbside "free" signs has unintentionally made me a trendsetter! Who knew my collection of Buddha statues mixed with colored glass jelly jars would be a design statement. My mismatched collection of styles acquired over the years is born from personal taste mixed with my "can't resist a bargain" mentality. Eclecticism is defined as "the borrowing of a variety of styles from different sources and combining them" (Hume 1998). This is a hot design trend right now, so let's be brave and mix things up a little.

It's a Clutter-ful Life
Jun 26, 2014 4:04:22 PM
Since moving to California I have noticed that not having a basement can really hinder your storage options. When I lived back east basements were where all the things that didn't fit in the rest of the house would get put. Everything from holiday décor to outdated appliances, totes of outgrown baby clothes and boxes of books. The things we hold on to for who knows what? But now I live in a basement less home and my storage option are limited. Time to de-clutter before I run out of space!

Ode to an Incredible Husband

As much as I hate to admit it he has proven me wrong, very wrong, as wrong as those crazy folk who thought the Titanic was unsinkable. Here is my public ode to all those husbands out there that step up and dare to go where some men fear to tread like the kitchen, laundry room and the grocery store
Mad about Mid-Century Design
Jun 17, 2014 3:30:14 PM
The Mid-Century modern style craze has been increasingly gaining popularity again as the baby boomers are now hitting retirement age, selling off households of mid century modern furniture and downsizing to smaller homes and condos. This combined with the world of entertainment featuring the mid-century modern style on TV shows like Mad Men and movies like Pixar's The Incredibles. This makes for a great opportunity for the next generation of hipsters to jump on the stylistic bandwagon and create their own buzz in the modern furniture world.
