ALICE - A resigned police chief is heading to Arizona, after being told to pack his stuff and get out.
The now former Alice Police Chief, Randy Weems, said he gave his letter of resignation to this city earlier this week, intending to stay and work until June.
He said he wanted to help the city make a smooth transition, but the city manager didn't want his help. Interim City Manager Hector Hinojosa asked Weems to clean his desk and leave.
It's a move Hinojosa said he made with the city in mind. He said he wants a police chief that's invested in the future of Alice.
Weems said he did see himself invested in the city's future, but didn't feel like they saw him in theirs'.
"After City Manager De Los Santos was terminated, I felt like at any given time I could be next," said Weems. "I took the action, to move my family back to Arizona, and put my house on the market."
Weems is headed to Arizona, where he's accepted a job in consulting.

I've been asked to source 3 TFT's for our Nursery classes. Having spoken to some of the staff down there one of them mentioned the need for tougher screens due to frequent cleaning and prodding fingers so I've started looking into getting glass fronted TFT's but they are getting to be very rare(or at least the sub £110 ones are) and according to one of my suppliers pretty much every manufacturer is discontinuing their hard glass ranges.
My line manager has said lets just get the normal screens - has anyone else had any good/bad experiences with normal TFT's in nursery classes?

Millions of dollars have been spent and many months have passed, yet no long-term deal has emerged to keep the lucrative Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale.
City officials say Scottsdale has spent roughly $46 million over the last 18 months in buying land and fixing up West-World of Scottsdale to meet Barrett-Jackson's demands.
But Barrett-Jackson contends it can't ink a long-term deal to stay at WestWorld unless the city can guarantee enough parking throughout the life of a potential 20- to 30-year agreement.
The company's spokesman, Jason Rose, said officials also have left Barrett-Jackson in limbo as to whether the city intends to build a new venue at WestWorld, or if the city would sell the company land at the fa- cility on which to build a new auction house.
"Barrett-Jackson wants to remain in Scottsdale for the long term," Rose said. "So often, it seems this has gotten unnecessarily and bizarrely confrontational."
Besides invitation-only soirees over the weekend, today kicks off the 36th year of the car auction. Last year, bidders spent $100 million on vehicles, and the event brought an estimated $96 million to the local economy.
Barrett-Jackson has the option of renewing an annual agreement with Scottsdale to hold the auction at WestWorld — a city-run, 120-acre facility at 16601 N. Pima Road — within 30 days after the completion of each year's event, said assistant city manager Roger Klingler.
Officials with the city and the auction house have expressed interest in signing a long-term agreement. Klingler said an offer of a 20-year contract has been in discussions for about 18 months.
"(Craig Jackson) had mentioned that he'd like a longterm agreement of about 20 years and we said, 'Yeah, that's reasonable,'" Klingler said.
In the meantime, the city has spent millions of dollars trying to meet Barrett-Jackson's needs and make other general improvements at WestWorld.
City spokesman Pat Dodds said the city spent more than $32 million securing two pieces of land totaling 69 acres on the northeast side of WestWorld at a state auction in late 2005. The move was meant to secure the land's continued use as overflow parking for West-World events.
Although the extra land benefits all types of events held there, it was something for which Barrett-Jackson had been pushing, Dodds said.
"It was very advantageous for the city's efforts to keep Barrett-Jackson here," he said. "It's always been part of the master plan to provide sufficient parking for WestWorld events."
Barrett-Jackson also has had concerns about traffic circulation, infrastructure and storm drainage at WestWorld. In response, the city spent millions in the summer of 2005 to develop a traffic circulation plan, buy a $4 million tent for Barrett-Jackson and equestrian events, realign roadways, pave a parking area, and improve drainage on the polo fields, he said.
"We did $14 million worth of improvements at WestWorld that summer," Klingler said. "We did all of these things that help Barrett-Jackson, but also help all the other events at WestWorld."
But Rose said the city's purchase of state land for parking just preserved the status quo, since the land had already been used for parking in previous years through a state permit.
"It is unfair for the city to suggest that it has made all these improvements and Barrett-Jackson won't sign," he said. "The fact that the city now owns (the land) doesn't change anything."
About 250,000 people are expected to pass through the gates this year and 1,240 cars — 140 more than last year — are to be auctioned. And organizers said they expect the show to keep expanding.
There appears to be no reason it won't.
The auction house just added two heavyweight corporate sponsors — Ford and General Motors — and the Speed Channel will be broadcasting 40 hours live from the event. Other events, such as a rock n' roll memorabilia auction and a Johnny Cash collection also were added this year.
The land will not be able to sustain the increasing demand for parking as Barrett-Jackson's auction grows over the next decades, Rose said.
"The city has not committed or described how it's going to guarantee parking for that period of time," Rose said. "Show us a long-term parking plan."
He also said the city has been dragging its feet on plans to build a new multipurpose building at WestWorld that potentially could house future Barrett-Jackson auctions and other events.
In an effort to break a perceived block over whether the building should be geared more toward equestrian or general uses, Barrett-Jackson has offered to buy up to nine acres of vacant land at WestWorld.
When added to the company's current seven-acre holding adjacent to the site, the nineacre purchase would provide enough land for Barrett-Jackson to relocate its corporate headquarters and build a television studio, a museum and an auction house.
"It was an offer made in good faith to try and make progress," Rose said.
Klingler said the city is interested in the proposal, but Barrett-Jackson has put off any discussion until after its 2007 auction.
"We've asked (Jackson) for the details of what he's interested in so we can make a deal and we're waiting for him to get back to us," Klingler said.

Chicken breasts. Great source of protein, cheap, easy to make and tasty. Can their be anything better? You probably eat a lot of chicken. I know I do, and I got sick of eating the same old grilled/baked chicken breast day in and day out. But who's got time for fancy recipes either? You already need to find time to work, eat 6 times a day, take handfuls of supplements, and workout. So I thought Id share some of my ideas for quick ways to make tasty chicken.
One-step seasonings. I don't know if you have the same brand in Canada, but club-house makes a great lineup of seasoning mixes. All you have to do is sprinkle some on, throw it on the grill for 6-7 minutes, and voila, awesome chicken. You'll feel like you're eating something you shouldn't be. I've found the best ones to be Cajun, lemon & herb, Montréal chicken and tex mex.
Don't go overboard with this stuff though, as it does contain some salt. All you need is a light sprinkling to get the flavours in.
Mrs. Dash: For those of you who are trying to cut back on salt, this is the way to go. There are a bunch of different varieties available, and they're great for adding a lot of flavour.
Marinades: Low fat salad dressing like italian works pretty well. Another good one is a mix of yogurt, lemon juice and onions. There are lots of recipes out there. Try to start with something acidic like vinegar, yogurt or some type of citrus juice. This will help tenderize the meat. One good trick is to put the chicken in a ziploc bag when you buy it, and mix it around in the bag with your marinade. Then toss it the freezer. When you want to defrost it, it will marinade itself as it thaws out.
BBQ Sauce: Yeah, most bbq sauces have a lot of sugar in them, but you can find higher quality brands with a very rich flavour and not so much sugar. A little goes a long way too. If you take a little dab, like half a teaspoon or so and brush it over your chicken after it's been cooked, you'll find it will give it a lot of taste without needing to drench it in sauce.
Finally...I can't talk about chicken without praising my George Foreman grill. It makes meals really quick to make. In 15 minutes, you can have 6 chicken breasts cooked and everything cleaned up and finished with. I find that spraying a bit of pam on it before I cook makes it easier to clean. Another trick I use is to keep a spray bottle filled with water around. When you're done cooking, spray down the grill while it's hot and the steam will loosen a lot of the stuck on food bits. Makes it a lot easier to wipe down after.
So anyway...that's how I make my chicken. I find it's easier to stick with my diet if it doesn't taste the same everyday. Some people can do it, but I like variety still It's easier to make a permanent change in your diet if it doesnt feel like one right?

Wylie Dufresne's pioneering restaurant is going out with a crazy modernist bang, or course, and not at all with a whimper.
It may be British, but there is lox on the bagels.
Expect herring, bagel sandwiches, knishes, and more when the uptown spot opens early next year.
Why not just order all seven kinds and call it a day?
"The most important thing is that the future of Katz's is secure — at the end of the day, no developer can ever come in and knock us down to put in a high rise."
There's no lease signed yet, but it's not too early to start getting excited.
He's off to Copenhagen to work with a Noma co-founder.
It's back after 24 years, and one year on hiatus.
In the former Family Recipe space.
The restaurant served falafel and a grab-bag of other snacks.
So long, Disco Daiquiris, Rockettes, Tequila Sunrises, Hot Buttery Nipples, Harvey Wallbangers, and Pink Chihuahuas.
Will new new owners keep the oyster bar made from an old boat?
No more cheap falafel.
"Not all restaurants are iconic and get to stick around for ten or fifteen years," says Feigenbaum.
The restaurant was approaching its third birthday.
The chef never strayed from his original plan for the restaurant, even as others suggested he should — and that's exactly why it's so worthy of celebration.
The good news is that the chef has begun working on plans to relocate.
Yes, that is a burger in the $20 range.
"Come celebrate with us for the next 173 days."
Shalom Chai pizzeria's eviction closes a once-plentiful era.

The Chancellor George Osborne today set out the UK government's plans for the economy and public finances for the coming year, using his spring statement to boast of a return to economic growth.
He announced measures including an increase in the personal income tax allowance to £10,500; rewards for savers with the merger of cash and stocks ISAs; a one penny cut on beer duty; and a freeze on petrol.
He also announced major reform to the pensions system, with people free to draw as much as they like from their pension pot rather than buying annuities; and cash off energy bills by capping the cost of carbon emissions.
But he went on to warn that austerity measures are here to stay, with the UK's huge £75 billion deficit not expected to be wiped out until 2018, and an annual cap on welfare bills introduced.
You can look back through our live updates from today below, or browse through all our budget coverage here. Check out the 10 key points that could affect you, as well as opinion and analysis from our columnists Fleet Street Fox, Kevin Maguire, and Nigel Nelson.
Good morning, and welcome to our live Budget 2014 coverage.
It's one of the most important days of the Parliamentary calendar, when Chancellor George Osborne will set out the Government's financial plans for the next year.
We'll be bringing you all the details of his spring statement as he makes it to the House of Commons, as well as reaction and analysis from a whole host of our expert reporters and columnists.
Osborne will deliver his statement from 12.30pm.
Until then we'll be taking a look at what we can expect and what we would like to see included.
To get us started, take a look at our guide to Budget basics here.
One of the announcements we are expecting from Osborne today is the introduction of a new counterfeit-proof, 12-sided £1 coin.
The Chancellor is expected to say it is needed to help stay one step ahead of criminals (have a look out our guide to spotting a fake pound coin here).
The new design - already dubbed a "Gideon" after Osborne's real name - is based on the old three-penny piece. It is of a similar size, but made with two different colours and a special paint that is far harder to copy.
But the move has been dismissed as a distraction from more savage cuts.
Osborne is expected to use today's Budget to boast about the strength of Britain's economic recovery.
But an investigation in today's Daily Mirror cuts through the Government's spin to show just how far the economy still needs to improve, and shows how other countries have managed to avoid the scale of economic misery we've endured.
Despite the recent bounceback, figures show that our economy is now 1.4% SMALLER than it was at the start of the global recession in 2008.
And if the economy had grown in line with pre-recession levels, it would now be 15% - or a massive £240 billion - bigger than the size it is now.
New figures ahead of the Budget show why George Osborne's so-called recovery is largely voterless.
Earnings going up 1.4% is half RPI inflation at 2.8% so its no wonder people feel worse off. They are worse off! The falling value of wages is why the living standards of most families will be lower at the 2015 election than in 2010 when the Tory Chancellor moved into the Treasury.
Osborne will be happier at a welcome 63,000 fall in unemployment. I'm off to a march and rally of POA prison officers before Prime Minister's Questions at noon. Ed Miliband should rib David Cameron about Michael Gove complaining too many Etonians are running a toffocracy.
The latest Budget rumour is Osborne will link reducing welfare spending to cutting tax, a kick-a-claimant-and-win-a-tax-cut policy. That would be disreputable. If the Chancellor does and is, you read it here first. If he doesn't, as I said it is just a rumour...
Here's what you should expect today:
First up - Prime Minister's Questions in the Commons at noon. David Cameron and Ed Miliband will go head to head over the week's big issues. Expect the PM to welcome today's unemployment figures. The Labour leader though may prefer to use his questions to focus on Ukraine.
Straight after PMQs, at 12.30pm, George Osborne will stand up to deliver his fifth budget. The set-piece Commons occasion is the unofficial starting gun for next year's general election.
On Budget day, it is the Leader of the Opposition - not the Shadow Chancellor - who has to respond to the Mr Osborne.
George Osborne is being pressed by Tory MPs to raise the threshold on the 40 per cent higher rate of tax. But the Chancellor thinks that might send the wrong signal that he's not on the side of hard-working people.
So here are his options. His top 45p rate only hits one per cent of taxpayers, that's 300,000 people earning more than £150,000. But as there are a lot of really high earners among them they're a profitable group to the Treasury. He'll leave them alone.
Four million taxpayers pay 40 per cent. The Chancellor could take some of them out of this band by raising the threshold above inflation.
Thirty million taxpayers pay at the 20 per cent basic rate. They're the low and middle-income earners whose side Osborne keeps saying he's on. A 1p cut in this basic rate would be worth £160 a year to those on average earnings of £26,500.
Bookies Ladbrokes are offering some fun bets on George Osborne's Budget.
The Chancellor is odds-on to wear a tie in Tory blue at 4/5 - seen as the likeliest fashion choice ahead of a purple tie at 3/1.
When it comes to "Buzzword Bingo", the word "recovery" leads the market and is seen as a racing certainty at 1/10. (You can play your own game of Budget Bingo here.)
The phrase "hard working families" is offered at even money, a long way ahead of "lazy single people" - a long shot at 100/1.
Former Chancellor Ken Clarke is likely to be under intense scrutiny from gamblers during the Budget statement. Ladbrokes are offering 16/1 that Mr Clarke, who has form in this area, will fall asleep during the speech.
Here it is - the traditional picture of George Osborne leaving 11 Downing Street with his red briefcase, as he heads to the Commons to make his Budget speech.
Ever wondered what's in the Chancellor's briefcase?
Well wonder no more.
George Osborne is a Chancellor eager to take credit for anything that goes well and determined to avoid responsibility for his catastrophic mistakes.
Today's Budget speech will be full of bluster as he tries to convince the public that Britain is on the edge of a golden epoch when most families will actually be worse off in 2015 than they were in 2010.
Strangling the recovery inherited from Labour by putting up tax and slashing investment was a costly error, which reduced living standards and lost Britain its AAA credit rating.
Any rabbits pulled out of the hat today by Osborne will have been paid for several times over during four years of punishing austerity.
Beware of Chancellors bearing Budget bribes when the Tories are plotting to buy the election before reverting to a life-sapping squeeze should they win.
Judged on his record over the past four years, Osborne has been an economic disaster.
While we don't yet know exactly what's in the Budget, we can be certain the general theme will be more austerity.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank warns that we are only 46% of the way through the government's planned cuts.
A Sunday Mirror poll this week revealed just 9% of voters quizzed thought their ability to pay monthly bills had improved in recent years.
And 44% said their finances had worsened.
Sin taxes are always a favourite of the Budget. The Chancellor is being pressed to scrap the alcohol escalator on wine and spirits which adds two per cent plus inflation. He did it with beer last year, and the Wine and Spirit Trade Association thinks it should be their turn this year.
But that is unlikely. So watch out for 12p extra on a bottle of wine and 48p more on a bottle of spirits. If Osborne goes for the same duty escalator on cigarettes as he has in previous years then a pack of 20 will go up by 28p. Anti-smoking campaigners are pushing for a five per cent rise which would add 49p.
Petrol is likely to see no change before the General Election. And beer is predicted to escape a hike for another year.
Speaking of taxes, why not take a look at our picture gallery of Osborne pointing at things he could tax...
With just under half an hour to go before the Chancellor delivers his spring statement, you can also give our budget day quiz a go.
Test your knowledge of political history and weird budget facts here.
George Osborne gets a big cheer from Tory MPs as he enters the Commons
chamber with David Cameron.
Ed Miliband gets a bigger cheer from Labour MPs.
Does this signify a cheering Budget?!
There's a lot of worry about what Gideon will and won't pull out of the hat. Thresholds, employment, recovery, blah blah.
All we know for certain is what he's definitely NOT going to do.
He's definitely NOT going to introduce a duty on polo mallets, put VAT on caviar, introduce a mansion tax, ban champagne emissions, scrutinise luxury wallpaper companies or million-pound financial trusts, tell us what tax bracket he's in, or outlaw flipping your second home expenses which were always within the rules they wrote for themselves.
Tory MP Cheryl Gillan gets the first question in PMQs.
She can be a thorn in the side for the government, but sticks to the script with a planted question on unemployment.
Now on to the the real action - Miliband steps up. Straight on to Ukraine. He calls the Crimea referendum "illegal and illegitimate".
Cameron says it was a poll conducted under a Russian "Kalashnikov".
George Osborne may use his speech to approve the official recommendation to increase the minimum wage to £6.50 an hour from October.
It would be a 3% increase, but would still leave the minimum wage lower than in 2008 real terms.
And it's well short of the £7 an hour Osborne was talking about as recently as January.
Ed uses his second round of questions for another statesmanlike topic - mental health on the NHS.
He knows this is not particularly political - there is no real disagreement across the House.
But it allows him to look and sound Prime Ministerial. The Labour leader will save the yah-boo stuff for his budget response.
The Mirror's personal finance editor Tricia Phillips wrote an open letter to Osborne this week, asking him to use his Budget to make ISAs equal.
She says giving people the ability to save the total allowance of £11,520 into a cash ISA - rather than in a stocks and shares ISA - would be far more sensible and appealing to savers, encouraging healthier financial habits all round.
You won't be able to see this on TV but MPs are trying to find a seat in the Commons chamber overflow gallery to watch the Budget and bobbing up and down like a Mexican wave as they attempt to squeeze into spaces too small for their bottoms.
The problem is the former Chancellor Ken Clarke, who has sprawled out over a space three MPs could get into. And he doesn't seem inclined to move.
Tempers are a little frayed.
It's not exactly the brownies, but the Bingo industry is said to be one that George Osborne has decided to look on favourably on as he gives out Budget treats.
3m people in the UK play Bingo every week, says the industry group Back Bingo. That is 5% of the population of the UK. Every week.
Bingo halls are charged tax at 20% of gross profits – that will be changed to 15% making it the same as the tax rate for online bingo and football pools etc. The 20% tax rate plus the competition from online gambling sites is one reason that the halls are closing.
Because Bingo halls paid £100m in taxes last year – the tax change would be £25m back to the bingo industry.
Bingo halls campaign employ 16,000 across the UK, where online bingo has negligible employment.
The Back Bingo campaign also claims that bingo halls give a lot back to the community: "Bingo helps address the increasingly important issues of social isolation and active aging that are becoming so apparent in modern societies."
Thanks George, now lets get back to things like the NHS and the welfare budget.
George Osborne is sitting through Prime Minister's Questions making hand-written changes to his Budget speech with a fountain pen.
There's only minutes to go. Bit late, George.
Finally, PMQs gets heated.
Cameron attacks Labour for questioning why NHS staff were blocked from having pay rises.
The PM said Miliband had been influenced by the unions.
He adds: "He demonstrates his complete weakness and unfitness for office."
Spread betters Sporting Index predicted George Osborne would sip from his glass of water four times during his Budget speech.
He took his first sip and before he even began speaking.
And here we go. George Osborne, the Chancellor, stands up at 12.33pm.
He says the economy is growing better than expected - but more cuts are needed.
Mr Osborne says: "We set out our plan.. we held our nerve. But the job isn't done."
"This is a budget to build a resilient economy."
He reveals that the deficit will be half what it was in 2010. But he fails to mention that he promised to eliminate it entirely by 2015.
This morning the Tories have been shouting about increases in employment in the private sector.
They say Private Sector Employment is UP 118,000 and Public Sector Employment DOWN 14,000 if you compare September 2013 with December 2013.
But new job creation isn't equal across the country.
Daniel Knowles of the Economist points out that 81% of net new jobs in England are in London and the South East.
Osborne says our deficit is down by a third but he's going to bring it down further.
That's another way of softening MPs up for more cuts.
George Osborne drops an early hint that his Budget will help savers.
Sounds like a new scheme. Or will he revamp ISA thresholds?
Osborne says the economy will be £16bn larger than was forecast four months ago.
But the economy would be £240bn bigger by now if it had kept growing at pre-recession levels.
George Osborne's speech opener in full: "MY GOD WASN'T THAT ALL AWFUL, EH, YEARS AGO? LUCKILY EVERYTHING'S DANDY NOW, LOOK HERE ARE SOME FLOWERS AND A KITTEN."
Not much in the way of actual policy announcements so far.
Just one long herogram for Mr G Osborne Esquire, PS please let me be Prime Minister next Dave.
You can tell they're dividing on party lines before next year's election and reminding the voters who they are by their ties.
Osborne, Cameron and Duncan-Smith in deep blue, Clegg, Cable and Alexander with blinding yellow.
Wait for the combined nods to camera as they try to claim credit for different policies.
Osborne attacks Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls for not accepting Labour's responsibility for the economic crash.
He claims Mr Balls has only said that "some mistakes were made".
But the Chancellor says Britain suffered the biggest recession in the world. Osborne boasts that he has turned it around and the economy is now booming.
He says growth was 1.8% last year - with 2.7% this year, 2.7% next year and 2.3% in 2015.
But he then admits the deficit will be more than 5% by the election next year.
Remember, the government promised to wipe out the deficit within five years. Osborne admits more cuts will be needed because we will be spending £75bn more than we raise in taxes next year.
If the rabbit George Osborne plans to pull from his Budget hat is a boost for savers, the news will be welcomed.
Millions have seen their nest eggs dwindle in value. Many accounts now offer interest rates of less than 1% - well below the rate of inflation.
Help for savers would help the Tories curry favour with a key target group of voters ahead of the 2015 general election who have long moaned about the poor return on their savings.
Osborne, who is coughing a lot less than normal (is he less nervous than usual?), is using the budget to frame the next election campaign.
He says balancing the books needs "more tough decisions and cuts".
He adds: "Who has the credibility to deliver them?"
This is the Tory election message. He is also announcing a welfare cap for how much a government can spend on benefits. He sets it at £127billion in 2018.
Osborne announces the introduction of a new counterfeit-proof pound coin, as expected.
The 12-sided coin is said to be much harder to fake.
Is Osborne going to pull one of his new £1 coins out of his pocket? Already nicknamed the Gideon: 12-sided, two-faced, rarely seen up north— Real Britain (@realbritainros) March 19, 2014
Inside Gideon's head, this morning:
"F***! I've got no ideas! There's definitely a recovery but it's so tiny even a hawk couldn't find it. What'll I do?
"I know, I'll mutter about a load of percentages and statistics which can say pretty much anything you want them to, toss in a new coin which will cost £100million and only save us £45million, send Eric Pickles off to sleep and then I'll be in pole position to be the next Prime Minister.
"Yes, that'll work."
Followed by a long, sound snooze.
The two Eds seem to think the Chancellor's figures are terribly funny. Miliband and Balls are laughing together as if they were watching the Chancellor's trousers fall down in a Whitehall farce.
The shadow Chancellor keeps pointing at the ceiling. That, he seems to be suggesting, is where our money is going.
When the Chancellor mentions the rich are paying their share Ed Ball's pointing finger scans the Government's frontbench of millionaire ministers.
George Osborne has tried to set a trap for Labour with his £119 billion cap on welfare spending because there will be a Commons vote on the idea next week.
The Tories want to get Labour to say whether or not they back the idea of a "permanent cap" - not including the rising pensions bill - on welfare spending.
Tricky one for Ed Miliband and Ed Balls because a clampdown on the benefits bill is popular with voters. And the pair are determined to show that a Labour government would be responsible with public cash.
That line about the lowest inequality for 28 years - in a week when we learned that five families have more wealth than the bottom 12 million - is the ultimate proof about experts feeding us lies, damned lies and statistics.
The Chancellor is on to the politics. Says income inequality is lowest for 28 years - lower than under any Labour government.This is cheered by the Tory backbenches.
Osborne also announces stamp duty hike on wealthy homes bought using companies.
And now a dig at Labour leader Ed Miliband. He announces support for the Magna Carta trust.
Osborne says youngsters today need to be taught about King John - "a weak Leader, risen to power by betraying his brother, bullied by barons..." The Labour benches laugh along.
The Chancellor says he will give a grant to the Magna Carta Trust to celebrate the 800th anniversary of its signing in 1215.
It is to pay for his joke about one brother usurping the other. For Kings John and Richard in 1215 read Milibands Ed and David.
It must be the most expensive Budget speech gag ever delivered.
George Osborne's reeling off figures as if he was a Stalinist official reporting growing tractor production and pig iron output.
His Fantasy Britain is an alien world to the millions in low paid, insecure jobs and all those watching their living standards fall year after year under the Chancellor's ConDem austerity.
Lies, damned lies and George Osborne's statistics.
Osborne also announces a tax hike on private jets - another counter intuitive measure designed to prove the government are not out to protect their rich mates.
But he then cuts taxes on Caribbean holidays.
He says air passenger duty will be the same for the rest of the world as it is to America. This is a big issue for Britain's West Indian community.
Tax on private jets! Hooray! Clampdown on tax avoidance schemes! Huzzah! Inheritance tax relief for the emergency services! Acecakes! New housebuilding! Brill!
Except a tax on private jets affects so few people that it's not terribly worth doing; the tax avoidance scheme thing just involves making people pay tax for disputed schemes and if they're ruled legal you get a rebate; very few emergency service workers have to pay inheritance tax anyway because the estate has to be worth £325,000 and no spouse; and the new town at Ebbsfleet was first announced two years ago and still isn't built.
And he's just announced five million new manufacturing jobs by the end of the decade, done entirely by, um, fracking.
Which the one time we tried it led to expensive protests and an MP getting arrested.
The House is still waiting for Osborne's rabbit out the hat trick. What could it be? A cut in the basic rate of tax? Huge incentives for savers? It can't be the £200m pot hole fund can it?
He announces new tax breaks for businesses so they are not taxed on investments - like big manufacturing kit.
George Osborne on his feet for 40mins so far. No zinger/rabbit yet.
Some MPs starting to look a bit bored in House of Commons chamber. Others checking their phones.
The cap on welfare may be a trap for Labour. But it's a much worse trap for every family trying to survive ill health, bad luck or mistakes they've made in their lives.
It's a cap that will drive ordinary people out of wealthy postcodes, and socially cleanse the Tory boroughs. It's a cap that fits Osborne beautifully.
We're all in this together, Osborne says. Unless you are sick, poor or disabled, or in need of the welfare state.
Chancellor's decision to knock £15 off energy bills, by cutting carbon price floor, is welcome for households.
But it only takes away some of the big increase from the winter price rise.
The Sunday People's campaign against Fixed Odds Betting Terminals pays dividends as the tax on them is increased from 20 per cent to 25 per cent.
And it's a result for the Sunday People's other campaign to reduce Bingo Tax.
And it's even better than we hoped. Instead of the reduction from 20 per cent to 15 per cent, Osborne halves it to 10 per cent.
Let Them Eat Bingo #Budget2014— Real Britain (@realbritainros) March 19, 2014
To be fair to Osborne he's not wrong when he tells us that Britain is a place that makes things again. Especially making things up.
As we've been witnessing for the past 40 minutes.
Now the Chancellor shows his true colours - blue not green.
He cuts the cost of emitting CO2 making it harder for eco energy - or, as the Prime Minister once called it, "the green crap".
Osborne also cuts taxes on bingo and booze.
He cuts beer duty by 1p - "a penny off a pint for the second year running". (Whisper it, but Osborne isn't a beer man - he prefers red wine.)
Duty on whisky will also be frozen, in another bid to persuade the Scots to vote "no" to independence.
As expected the personal tax allowance will also go up - to £10,500.
On the fuel duty freeze and £200m for potholes, Professor Stephen Glaister, director of the RAC Foundation, said: "The good news is that fuel duty has now been frozen since March 2011.
"The bad news is that the UK's 37 million drivers still pay the highest proportion of petrol and diesel tax in Europe.
"The Treasury's own analysis shows cuts to duty would boost the nation's economic output.
"Yet the stubbornly high pump prices mean transport costs remain a real concern for the record 18 million people who rely on a car to get to work."
Tories very quiet - they're desperate for red meat. Especially Eric Pickles. Someone should tell them Osborne's on a 5:2 diet now.
Osborne - cutting welfare but giving the Bingo industry a £50m tax cut pic.twitter.com/jwyqDAB5F1— Ampp3d (@ampp3d) March 19, 2014
Now on to saving. Osborne hikes the amount you can save, tax free in an ISA, to £15,000 a year. This is a big hike.
He also announces one million new "pensioner bonds" for those over 75. These will have guaranteed returns above the market rate.
And now, to pensions. He announces that pensioners will have complete freedom to do what they want with their pension savings - they won't have to buy an annuity.
Osborne is now going for the grey vote. Remember, pensioners are much more likely to vote than anyone else. A big electoral target - has he hit it?
Lots of complex changes to pensions savings there.
Not something to particularly excite young people.
We wonder if this is a factor - in the last general election, 96% of those 65 and above were registered to vote, and 76% voted.
By contrast, only 56% of 18-24 year olds were registered, and just 44% voted.
Before he sits down, Osborne declares: "This is a budget for the makers, the doers the savers."
The main measures: Personal tax allowance up to £10,500. A penny off a pint. Bingo taxes cut. Taxes slashed for manufacturers who need to invest. A complete overhaul of taxes on savings.
How apt in the Year of The Floods Osborne has given us the Damp Squib to end all Damp Squibs.
This comment from Richard Lloyd, the executive director of consumer champion Which?, summarises the advantages and potential problems with George Osborne's plans for savers:
Mr Lloyd said: "The Budget brings a welcome shake up for struggling savers who too often get a raw deal.
"Hiking the ISA limit will encourage more consumers to save, although we also now need to see more competitive interest rates from banks that have slashed these repeatedly in recent years.
"The overwhelming majority of people who buy an annuity from their existing provider could get a better deal on the open market, so today's announcement should help stop millions of people from losing out on thousands of pounds of retirement income. The key to making this work will be a requirement on providers to give consumers high quality, impartial advice on their options across the whole of the market, with maximum protection at this critical time in their financial lives.
"Savers will welcome these moves on ISAs and annuities, and we now look to the financial industry to raise their game by offering better value products and genuinely impartial advice, so that millions of consumers get the best possible return on their savings and investments."
Ed Miliband is now on his feet.
"The Chancellor spoke for nearly an hour but he didn't mention one fact - workers are worse off under the Tories."
But the Tory backbenchers have started their heckling routine. Miliband would have been prepared for this, but can he hack it?
The Deputy Speaker has demanded respect, which seems to have worked... for now.
Miliband is now back in his stride. He says voters will be asking themselves if the Tories are on their side.
The Labour leader says: "Are they better off now than they were five years ago? No. Much worse off. Worse off under the Tories."
Hardworking people are £1,600 a year worse off under the Tories: pic.twitter.com/HBApGVoeaZ #Budget2014— Labour Press Team (@labourpress) March 19, 2014
Are you under 65? Are you not particularly rich? Well then, my friends, you've just been shafted.
If you're a pensioner, you'll be better off. If you already vote Tory, you'll probably be better off. If you're struggling the best you can hope for is a gambling addiction.
Osborne has done wonders for the disaffected older voter by reforming pensions and raising the ISA savings threshold.
But if you don't earn enough to save up to £15,000 a year, if you can't afford a private pension, if you struggle to find work or to afford childcare so you can work, there's very little here for you.
There's just a penny off beer and tax off bingo, coupled with more tax on those demonic fixed-odds betting terminals.
He's also capped total welfare spending while not reforming the state pension - which means that over time pensions will take up more of our budget and there will have to be cuts to every other benefit to pay for it.
If you're a pensioner, this was good. If you're not, it's time to drink a lot of beer, wear a grey wig and start lying about your age.
Miliband is now urging voters to ignore the budget and remember that they are worse off while the rich have been given a tax cut.
He asks who is better off under the Coalition: "The Chancellor's chums, the Prime Minister's friends."
The Prime Minister rolls his eyes.
Inheritance tax cut for emergency service workers is a smokescreen for cuts, says a firefighters' union leader.
Reacting to an announcement by George Osborne that the government would scrap inheritance tax for emergency service workers killed on duty, Matt Wrack, general secretary of the Fire Brigades Union, said: "Inheritance tax only applies to those leaving more than £325,000, so it is hard to assess how many would actually benefit.
"Meanwhile, the families of all firefighters, including those killed at work, will be worse off as a result of government attacks on our pensions."
Miliband says the budget was "of the privileged, by the privileged, for the privileged".
He adds, after the announcement that there will be a new pound coin: you can change the shape the pound but "if you're £1,600 a year worse off, you're £1,600 a year worse off".
Miliband now gets on to the budget details. He says too many have been dragged into the 40p tax band - which kicks in at around £41,500.
It comes after Osborne was allegedly caught saying people liked paying the higher rate of tax.
The Labour leader said: "If you're in the middle paying more, you should be happy paying more, but if you're at the top, paying 50p, you should be helped."
He then asks if the Chancellor or the PM will rule out another tax cut for millionaires to 40p.
Miliband says the PM thinks "the way you may the rich work harder is to make them richer, but the way you make the poor work harder is to make the poor harder".
Paul Kenny, GMB General Secretary, said: "This budget reeks of the stuck-up complacency of the well-heeled elite.
Osborne's claim that the economy will get back to pre-recession levels this year is sadly not the case.
GDP per head is still 5.7% down on 2007 and the real value of average earning is also down 13.8%.
There is a very long way to go to get living standards for the vast majority of workers back to pre-recession levels.
"The budget is doing very little to get the 912,000 unemployed aged 16-24 into proper jobs. As some 246,000 have been out of work for over a year there is a grave danger of seeing a lost generation."
Deputy Speaker Lindsay Hoyle loses his rag. He's just shown Tory MPs heckling Ed Miliband the door.
If they don't want to listen then they can get out, he said.
The reason the Deputy Speaker presides over the Budget is because in bygone days the Speaker used to get his head chopped off. And John Bercow is short enough without losing any more inches.
But if Tory MPs could behead Mr Hoyle then by the look on some of their faces, they would.
Miliband says its time "we took the whole Eton mess out of Downing Street".
Before he sits down he adds: "Britain can do better than them - Britain needs a Labour government."
So, here are the details on some of the main announcements Osborne made today.
The Chancellor said fuel duty would not be raised, and is unlikely to do so before the General Election next year.
He said: "The planned rise in fuel duty set for September will also now no take place.
"That means petrol price will be 20% lower than they would have been under the plans of the last Government.
Osborne put the price of a packet of fags up by 28p.
Anti-smoking campaigners have been pushing for a 5% rise, which would have added another 21p on top of the announced increase.
The Chancellor said: "Tobacco duty has been rising by 2% above inflation and will do so again today."
The price of a pint was cut by a penny, and duty on spirits and "normal-strength" cider was frozen.
He scrapped the escalator on wine and spirits - which added 2% plus inflation to their price.
But the price of wine will rise in line with inflation.
The Daily Mirror's personal finance editor Tricia Phillips - who wrote an open letter to George Osborne about ISA allowances, said this afternoon: "Great news for savers as the Chancellor get his sums right on ISAs, increasing the allowance and changing the system so people can put the full amount into cash rather than risky stocks and shares.
"However he has given with one hand taken away with the other with pensions. More choices and flexibility when cashing in savings is just what was needed. But hidden in the Budget small print he is sneakily raising the age you can start drawing private pensions to 57 and beyond - taking away the ability for savers to choose the age they want to retire."
John Longworth, the director of the British Chambers of Commerce, says Osborne delivered a "disciplined, focused" budget that was "geared toward the creation of wealth and jobs".
He said: "With a huge confidence gap still separating employers from young job-seekers, we are very pleased to see the Chancellor heed our call to help firms take on and train tomorrow's workforce. Overcoming that confidence gap means more investment in young people, more apprenticeships, and more jobs, which are critical with more than 900,000 16-to-24-year-olds still out of work.
"Osborne's focus on investment, exports, house-building and economic resilience passes the business test. By making a better business environment his top priority, the Chancellor has recognised that successful and confident companies are the key to transforming Britain's growing economic recovery into one that is felt in homes and on high streets.
"As with any Budget, there were some populist measures that were not at the top of business's wish list. Luckily, these were far outweighed by considered measures to support business growth and wealth creation."
The Daily Mirror's travel editor Nigel Thompson says the axing of Air Passenger Duty bands C and D for flights of more than 4,000 miles in "fantastic news".
He says: "With all long-haul flights from the UK being moved into APD band B (the one for the USA) it means there is a level playing field from Shanghai to San Francisco and Cape Town to Bridgetown.
A two-tier APD rate represents sensible simplification of the unpopular and damaging tax, and removes some of the ridiculous, unfair anomalies of the current system."
"In particular the Caribbean nations will welcome the move; it's crazy that a flight to Jamaica is taxed at £300 while Los Angeles or Hawaii – much further away – are charged at £240 based on the shorter distance to Washington DC."
George Osborne dealt a blow to house buyers in his statement, by refusing to introduce stamp duty reform.
It had been thought he would introduce a stamp duty tax credits scheme, giving sellers the chance to deduct the value of duty paid by their buyer from that they paid themselves on their next home.
It would also increase the threshold where it has to be paid from £125,000 to £250,000.
But there was no such announcement today.
More details about measures that were announced to tackle the housing shortfall can be found here.
The Daily Mirror's political correspondent Tom McTague talks here about the winners and losers of chancellor George Osborne's fifth budget.
For an overview of all the measures announced in the spring statement today, click here.
The Chancellor also said today that people would be "trusted" with far more control over their pension pots, and no longer obliged to buy an annuity at low rates.
Those heading towards retirement will get free financial advice, and they will be able to draw down as much of their defined contribution fund as they want - even if they are in line for relatively small incomes.
Instead of being hit with punitive 55% tax on sums they extract from fund, they will instead pay normal tax rates.
In a move that has been roundly welcomed, Osborne announced that savers would be able to invest up to £15,000 of cash or shares a year into a new super ISA.
From July this year, current rules meaning savers can only put half of their £11,520 entitlement into a cash ISA, while being able to invest the lot in a stock ISA, will be scrapped.
The Chancellor said he wanted to help savers by dramatically increasing the simplicity, flexibility and generosity of ISAs.
Who was today's budget good for? Pensioners and savers, says our political correspondent Tom McTague.
You can also look more closely at who the budget "winners and losers" were with our friends over at Ampp3d.
Some of George Osborne's measures - such as the announcements on bingo and beer duty - can be seen as an attempt at moving the Conservatives away from an image as the party of the rich, and out of touch with ordinary people.
But will it be enough to win votes in the 2015 general election, asks Tom McTague?
There has been a huge amount of information to wade through after Osborne's spring statement today.
To make sense of it all, have a look at our rundown of the 10 key announcements that could affect you.
Here, the Sunday People's Nigel Nelson talks about his delight at measures to increase the tax paid on Fixed Odds Betting Terminals, and to reduce bingo tax.
Both are policies the paper has campaigned for.
"It was while we were busy working out that we'd have to drink 399 pints in order to get a free one the Chancellor did the scary bit.
"First, he said he'd cap welfare spending. Seeing as we've been told for four years that austerity is entirely due to Benefits Street and people like White Dee, this is a vote winner.
What he didn't say is austerity is actually due to a banking crash, which means this is a bit like saying you will stop car accidents by cracking down on hyacinths."
"And the scary thing is that while he said it the elephant in the corner of the room was tapdancing and waving a flag saying 'YOU'RE ALL FECKED' and no-one noticed."
Osborne is relying on pensioners to get the Conservatives over the line at the next election - that's what's behind his changes to pensions, says Kevin Maguire.
If you missed George Osborne's spring statement in the House of Commons this afternoon, you can read it in full here.
And this graphic shows the words that the Chancellor used most often during his hour-long speech.
Kevin Maguire gives his Budget winners and losers in this video.
Winners: beer drinkers, smokers, bingo players, and possibly pensioners. Losers: wine drinkers.
The budget has been one of the main topics of discussion on Twitter throughout the day, primarily using the hashtag #Budget2014, with more than 200,000 tweets sent on the subject.
But they also #inactualfact to counteract some of Osborne's claims, according to We Are Social.
The most retweeted Budget tweets came from George Osborne himself, and actor and comedian David Schneider.

In his response to Osborne's statement, Labour leader Ed Miliband invited the Chancellor and PM David Cameron to "nod your head" to confirm they wouldn't reduce tax for the richest in society.
Miliband demanded: "Will he rule our a further tax cut for millionaires to 40p? Just nod your head if you'll rule it out."
The both refused.
One thing the Chancellor didn't say today was that wages will not go up as much as prices in any year between now and 2019.
"So you can be as hard working as you like, but your wages, in real terms, will decline in value," says Kevin Maguire.
It's been a long day of heavy facts and figures, so here's some light relief from our 3am team.
They've been taking a look at what stars including Nigella Lawson, Katie Price, and Simon Cowell would do to fix the economy...
"For the rich, by the rich with posh boy George Osborne scheming to be the biggest winner.
"The Chancellor of the Exchequer lives in Fantasy Britain if he genuinely believes we're on the cusp of a golden era."
That's Kevin Maguire's final verdict on what he heard today. Read it here.
The Sunday People's political editor Nigel Nelson has also been taking a look back at what we learned today.
He talks us through how this spring statement was of no benefit to benefit claimants, and brought a tear to the eye of pension fund managers - but a smile to savers.
So that's it for our live coverage of this year's Budget.
But there's still plenty on Mirror.co.uk to help you make sense of the Chancellor's spring statement, as well as reaction and analysis looking at what it means for us, and what it says about the direction of our Government as we head towards next year's general election.

Worcester woman charged in boyfriend's stabbing death
Updated On: May 08 2014 10:57:49 AM EDT
A Worcester woman is facing charges in connection with the stabbing death of her live-in boyfriend.
Police say 31-year-old Stephanie Fernandes is charged with manslaughter and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in connection with the death late Wednesday.
The victim's name was not immediately released.
Police say they responded to the couple's home at about 11 p.m. Wednesday for reports of a domestic disturbance.
Responding officers found a 31-year-old man unresponsive inside the home suffering from a single stab wound. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead just before midnight.
Police say the couple had a "long-term relationship."
Fernandes is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday. It could not be determined if she had a lawyer.

Lou Ferrigno, best known for playing the Hulk in the 1978 tv series The Incredible Hulk, will be voicing the big green guy in Joss Whedon's Avengers: Age Of Ultron.
According to Comicbookmovie.com, Ferrigno has confirmed that he'll be providing Hulk's signature ground-shaking roars. Ferrigno has voiced Hulk before in numerous standalone movies.
In The Avengers though, Hulk's singuler line, "Puny god", is actually spoken by Mark Ruffalo.
But all the roars and grunts made by the character were from Ferrigno.
Ferrigno also lended his vocals to Ed Norton's The Incredible Hulk.
Directed by Joss Whedon, Avengers: Age Of Ultron will be in theatres in the US on May 1, 2015 (a Singapore release date has not yet been announced)

This was our 3rd time in unit 105.Had no concerns or complaints.
This visit. Although the floor looked clean my barefeet were black after only 2 hours of walking on it. I found a mop and washed the floor twice(a pail would have been nice)Noticeable dirty finger smudges on the microwave, fridge, cabinet door handles, oven door handle,and passage doors.Glass coffee table had noticeable rings and smudge marks. I wiped white marks and spots off the green cloth table chairs. The arm rests on the couch were sticky so they got wiped, also I wiped down the table chairs arms as well. The kitchen plastic garbage can had noticeable large brown spots on the outside. There were very noticeable shoe scuffs on the wall under the bar counter as well as on the walls in the second bedroom. The soap scum ring in the guest bedroom sink wasn't seen until I used the sink to rinse a wash cloth to wash my feet. I wiped down the front of the toilet tank because there was brown splash marks.
The dryer wasn't drying our clothes. Checked the dryer vent. It was completely full, 1 1/2inches of packed lint. Hate to think of the amount of energy lost. Guess I'm just at fault for not checking the vent before turning on the dryer then checking the wet clothes after 45 minutes. We then did a thorough vaccuming of the dryer.
I did phone ali'i management about my black feet who were great and sent a cleaning crew that afternoon who cleaned the floor and wiped down the wall below the counter, and anywhere else that I wanted cleaned.
This is a great location. Saw whales,dolphins and turtles. Beach and pool outside your door. Beautiful Sunsets from your lanai.The sound of breaking waves. Close to two public beaches. Stores and restaurants across the street. Easy access to the island of Maui. Very friendly caretaker.
Our Maui holiday was great! Always great weather in Kihei.
Definitely will return.

This was our second time renting this unit mainly because for us, there is no better location. Our teenagers could walk the beach or to shops on their own. Pool right off our lanai, loungers just steps away, Bbq's, beach and snorkeling right out front. When we were outside and needed something, whether it be a drink, food, washroom or just a break from the sun, it's like simply stepping inside from your own backyard. It's nothing fancy, in fact, a little tired, but it's well stocked and comfortable. The onsite manager is friendly and helpful.
Thank you for sharing your review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us! We would like to remind you of our "First Choice" booking status, returnee discounts and an Aloha welcome gift for your next stay!

Condo offered all amenities needed. It was wonderful having a full kitchen. The best part is the location. We were able to walk out of our sliding glass door and just steps from the pool and a few more feet to the ocean. The beach access is wonderful and never too crowded. Perfect spot to watch the sunset. Plenty of restaurants and stores within walking distance. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Grounds are spotless and quiet.
Thank You! We are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. We would like to remind you of our "First Choice" booking status, returnee discounts and an Aloha welcome gift for your next stay!

Lovely condo with everything we needed right there. Main floor walk out to the pool and grassed area right on the ocean. Beautiful sunsets! Stores close, right across the street. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. Condo clean and well decorated. It was a wonderful place to vacation. We'll be back!

Komesu says he's taking his recovery "one step at a time. I've been clean for a year and a half. It's not like I battle with this every day. I'm getting back on my feet. My whole confidence has been shaken."
Despite his apparent good fortune at not having to spend time in a federal or state prison, Komesu continues to harbor resentment toward the Fort Morgan police and the Morgan County DA. He doesn't think he should have had to serve any time in jail.
"I feel like I got a bad deal there," he says. "It was blown out of proportion. I have no sense of security. And I don't trust the justice system."

SHIFT: What are your favorite tech toys? (no iPhones, please)
As a technology writer, I'm often asked what gear I've chosen to open my metaphorical wallet on. In many cases, though, my choices aren't necessarily the best in their class. For instance, I got cheap and bought a 50-inch 1080i Hitachi plasma TV that I can't wait to replace with a new 800-series Panasonic, due next month. Yes, of course I'd rather have a Pioneer Kuro, but I'm only a poor corrupt tech writer. (In the meantime, anyone want to buy a slightly used 50-inch 1080i plasma?)
Are my favorites the best choices? They are for me, and after the jump you can read all about why I use an HD DVD machine as my primary disc player as well as how a simple flashlight earns the top spot in my gadget roster. But we'd love to hear from you, too — what are your favorite gadgets and gear? Let us know in the Comments section, and discover some of my favorite tech toys by following the Continue link.
But not just any flashlight — a SureFire Executive Series flashlight. Expensive, sure, but they shine the brightest, with a clean and even light that illuminates even the most tangled web o' wires. Plus, its high-intensity beam can blind a potential attacker, and its roll-of-quarters size and shape in your palm turns your fist into a brick. But I'm a runner, not a fighter.
Jacked into the Denon, aside from an HD DVR cable box and a rarely used AppleTV, is a Toshiba A2 HD DVD player. Oh, go ahead and laugh, but it's actually a really good upconverting DVD player and will suffice until I get a Blu-ray player equipped with BD-Live. Panasonic's Blu-ray v2.0 deck, the DMP-BD50, is due in a month or so, and Sony's BD-S550 v2.0 edition won't be out till the fall.
I don't own a TiVo. The DVRs in my Scientific Atlantic Explorer 8300HD cable boxes (I have three of them) suffice. The great thing about cable-box DVRs is they don't fill the hard drive with programs I don't want, leaving no room for programs I do want. I do have a Slingbox, but its effectiveness is highly dependent on the speed of the Internet connection. I'll probably use the Slingbox a lot more when I can use it with my iPhone (whoops, we promised not to mention that!).
To hear what I see I rely on B&W; my fronts a pair of 15-year-old (at least) 802 Nautilus models that have a swivel-top tweeter to help direct sound, surrounds a set of LM1s, and a matching center whose model number has been lost to history.
For my sneakernet, I use a surprisingly handy Kingston DataTravel Reader. Available in 1- or 2GB versions, this thumb drive has a rear hatch that accommodates an SD card, which vastly simplifies digital camera and cellphone file transfers.
I don't have a favorite digital camera. But the wide-angle lens on the recently discontinued Kodak dual lens V570 has spoiled me and I hunger for a Canon SD870 IS and a digital D-SLR with an LCD live view.
As mentioned in the headline, I don't need to talk about my favorite cellphone. But I'm in a fringe coverage area, so I rely upon a zBoost YX510-PCS Wireless Extender, which uses alchemy to turn 1 or 2 bars into a steady 5.
For non-cell communication, I use a Wi-Fi Philips VOIP8411B Skype/DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) cordless phone. Its base doesn't need to be plugged into a PC, just an Ethernet jack. You can choose to make calls via your landline or via the bargain of the ages, Skype.
Sitting right next to my home office desk is a Fellowes MS-450Cs shredder (the 460Cs is the current model). I'm not saying this is the best shredder — I haven't used that many — but it doesn't matter. In this age of identity theft, I feel a lot more secure shredding all those junk pre-approved credit-card applications and other personal documents rather then dropping them into the recycling bin. I wish I could shred my online risks as easily, but that's a rant for another time.
And last but not least, my most oft-used gadget: a Plantronics M214C cordless phone headset. Only my clothes spend more time on my body.
What are your favorite gadgets and gear? And why? Sound off in the comments below.
