So why did I give notice and leave the job that I loved?
Well, let's just dive in....
When I was interviewed for the position I was shown the 'wonderful new, fully automated CAD system' It was a 'top of the line system'. I think from reading previous posts you know that it is not top of the line and in fact so inferior that it is down right dangerous.
What I wasn't informed of was that I would be called in to work in the middle of the night and as happened to another co worker, I would have to respond no matter what! One co-worker was in a town 90 minutes away having a family holiday celebration (1 week before the holiday) on her day off. The whole family scheduled this day so she could be there and not have a chance of being disrupted if she was called in. She was. She was also told if she didn't respond back into town to work immediately she would be fired. (This is what was being told to everyone by the co-worker).
What kind of life is this? Not being able to have a real day off and not worry about having to respond back in to work when they hunt you down. I'm all for working overtime. I did on average 50-60 hours every 2 months to assist in covering shifts! But... I found this disturbing.
What did I really do? I turned off my phone ringer from the moment I walked out the door on my Friday till the morning I was to work. When I was actually with Officer I would turn my phone in to airport mode so I would never get a call but could still use my MP3 features.
When I was finally released, my schedule was being changed 7 times a month. I walked in to work and was told to go home and come back in 5 hours for a 12 hour midnight shift. A few days later I was working days, then swings, then mids. I was spending my entire life trying to catch up on sleep! Going for literally days without sleep and never did I get a solid 6 hours of anything while I was working there.
When I got to know the wonderful (they are so nice) dispatchers I found out something. 20% had worked there for more then 20 years and 80% had less then 5 years on the job.
The turn over is HUGE!!!
My mother was a smart woman in the restaurant business for years and always told me 'When your service is good at a restaurant you know the management is good. Poor service, poor management'.
I couldn't agree more.
I never worked somewhere where I was literally scared of making the wrong move. I watched my co-workers being written up for small stuff that while it was against policy, they themselves caught and fixed! However, 2 weeks later there would be a notice in their inbox advising them of the policy and what they did wrong and while they finally corrected it, they are on notice not to let it happen again! There was not one mistake that I made that did not go unnoticed. Even for the better of the victim/citizen we were written up. In one case, my co-worker saved a life of a citizen, and because she chose breaking policy to save the life, she was written up!
Can you say M I C R O M A N A G I N G???
Oh and did I mention that our every move is video taped? With the exception of the bathroom and the far far corner in the kitchen, everything we do is on camera, and they watch!!
Let me remind you that the CAD system is not set up fully!!! These dispatchers are working with a half a$$ put together CAD system that still makes them do everything by hand or in their case, memory. Basically, the CAD system just helps the administration with times. It doesn't do anything for the dispatchers. In my eyes! I'll focus on that later though.
Moving up here my pay was cut in half, my commute increased from 15 minutes to 50. My gas bill increased, I no longer have set days off and I am rotating on this 14 day schedule that I actually thought I would like, but it always seemed like I was working, getting off work or getting ready for work!
I needed days off that were mine! I longed for my sporadic 4 day off reward!! I dreamed of set days off where I could plug in to my MP3 player and listen to my podcasts and work on my land!
It really didn't seem like to much to ask for.
So, as I sat at my dining room table looking out at the 18 pallets of bricks that were waiting for me to lay them into nice neat paths and stairs I drew up a new schedule. Taking into account all the complaints each co-worker had. Fully knowing that I am the lowest (well not anymore) man on the seniority list. I put each one of them into play on this schedule.
Several of us liked it. It was perfect!! But a few didn't. Management saw how it would fix all their issues, but never acted. Some were upset by it and it finally ended up in the recycle bin.
The main complaint? People would rather come in on their days off to work a 12 hour shift then stay over and work a 15 hour day when they were forced overtime on them. I couldn't understand this. I wanted so desperately to have my own days off and plan stuff, I was okay working the longer days, when needed, if it could guarantee me those days off where mine!
At my prior agency we were allowed to help people. At this agency you can not suggest or tell people how they can help themselves. Even if it is not a police matter! You have to take the info and pass it on to an officer that will belly-ache with you (as he should, this is not a police matter) as to why he needs to call this person back about this stupid call... When just a few months prior I was trained and able to not only say 'No' but to give all the idea's and tips on how to handle the screaming teenager, or whatever the situation was.
I was officially, by the minute, getting dumber!
Can you believe that even with all of the above going on... I was still jazzed to go in and help the citizen's in this county? I still liked my job?
So why did I really leave it all behind then?
It will have to wait for a bit.. I have ran out of time and this wind is picking up. We are probably going to lose power again so have to shut everything down. More continued very soon.
Trust me... It really is a good thing wrapped up in a bunch of garbage!

- Ciara Rahn
- Degree: MS Freshwater Sciences, School of Freshwater Sciences
- Hometown: Delafield, Wis.
- It's a fact: She boasts a fine collection of rubber ducks!
When Ciara Rahn chose a bachelor's degree in geology, she did so because the physical science appealed to her – as did the fact that she would spend a lot of time outdoors.
But at the end of her four years at UW-Madison, her bachelor's degree and a certificate in environmental science in hand, she took a little time off to explore which path to follow next.
"I knew I would need a master's degree, but I didn't want to continue in geology," she says.
To help, she "bulked up" on a few undergraduate non-geology science classes, first at UW-Waukesha and then at UWM. Both experiences pointed her in the same direction: At UW-Waukesha, biology lecturer and UWM alum Michael Pauers encouraged Rahn to look into the School of Freshwater Sciences. Sandra McLellan, a UWM professor of freshwater sciences, suggested the same thing.
"I wanted a hands-on experience that would serve me well going forward into a science career, and the fact that I could finish this degree in two years was very appealing," says Rahn.
She chose the option of earning a professional master's degree, one that does not require a thesis for graduation. The option is designed for those who are not planning to pursue a Ph.D.
Choosing carefully has paid off. The City of Racine Health Department hired Rahn to monitor contaminants in its local waterways, a skill she learned while completing an internship there.
Heading outside
At SFS, Rahn got the outdoor projects she craved, although she admits she initially had to get her "sea legs." She counts a day out on Lake Michigan aboard the research vessel Neeskay as an academic highlight.
Each member of the class was assigned sampling and collecting data on a different aspect of lake ecology. Rahn's task was retrieval of zebra and quagga mussels, an invasive species, from the lake bottom.
"I wish the waves had been a little calmer. But it was a lot of fun," she says.
Sampling environmental health indicators, like the effects of invasives, would ultimately help Rahn land an important component of the master's program – an internship.
Julie Kinzelman, a research scientist for the Racine health department and UWM alumna, hired Rahn for an internship opportunity that involved water sampling and data collection along the Pike River.
"I tested for levels of the bacteria E. coli at 29 sites along the river," she says of the six-month experience. "The Pike is an impaired river with runoff pollution that is typical of urban rivers."
The work is essential because baseline data has never been collected before. The aim, for now, is to gather the information that will help biologists understand what is going on in the lake's ecosystem before they begin the process of remediation.
The role of the public
Rahn discovered she enjoyed the part of the job that called for working with the public.
"I like the aspect of interacting with the public, to work with individuals and groups to find out what's wrong with the waterways and then try to fix it."
In fact, she remembers being pleasantly surprised at the level of citizen interest in clean rivers. "So many people would show up at the public meetings that they'd have to bring out more chairs," she says. "They were just ordinary citizens and if they didn't understand something, they weren't afraid to ask."
Post graduation, Rahn's job entails gauging what's in the water at a different location – the Wind Point watershed that lies between South Milwaukee and Racine.
Sounds perfect for the young woman who wanted to be outdoors.
"The monitoring goes on in all kinds of weather," she says. "A lot of the collection points are off the beaten path. So it's kind of an adventure."

It's not just the mountain views that are spectacular in the Canadian Rockies — the prices are too.
Snow-capped mountains rise around you, like frosted props in a beer commercial, while in the valleys winter white gives way to river blues and greens. Welcome to golf season in Alberta, Canada, a short but stirring time set in a landscape of such beauty that much of it is set aside as a national park. Here, in the shadow of the Canadian Rockies, leading names in golf have left a gentle imprint, some born in the golden age of architecture, others the bright offspring of modern design.
What the layouts have in common is the arresting grandeur of their surroundings, an unspoiled setting where the birdies are bald eagles and the galleries consist of elk and bear.
Kananaskis Country Golf Courses
Kananaskis Village, Alberta, Canada
Mt. Lorette Course: 7,102 yards, par 72
Mt. Kidd Course: 7,072 yards, par 72
877-591-2525, kananaskisgolf.com; $90
Robert Trent Jones Sr., a Stanley Thompson protege, called this stunning terrain the "best natural setting I've been given to work with." What he did with it is impressive, too.
Though Jones allowed the landscape to receive top billing, using glacier-fed creeks and ponds as guideposts, he also had the good sense to show his own deft hand. His influence appears in more than 140 silica sand bunkers, which track across his broad fairways like alabaster paw prints, and in sharply conceived doglegs that cut through thick pine forests and rub along the elbow of the Kananaskis River.
Most memorable is the par-3 4th on the Mt. Kidd course, which drops to a near-island green. No matter where you are on either layout, the nearby namesake peaks look on in stony silence, offering a lesson in perspective. They've been around for eons, and there will never be a day when they care about your score.
Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course
(Stanley Thompson 18)
Banff, Alberta, Canada
7,083 yards, par 72; $149-$219
403-762-2211, fairmont.com/banffsprings
In 1928, Stanley Thompson put the final touches on what today is his best-known masterwork. Set in Banff National Park, the course stretches its green fingers from the banks of the Bow River to the towering crest of Mount Rundle, whose looming presence adds an element of optical illusion that makes eyeballing yardages a tricky task.
There's no doubt about the distance of the par-3 4th. One of the world's most photogenic holes, it plays a daunting 199 yards over a glacial lake to a green backed by mountains. In 1989, a Tunnel Mountain nine was added to Banff's postcard 18 and it's worth a go-round. But it's Thompson's course that belongs on your bucket list.
Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge Golf Course
Jasper, Alberta, Canada
6,663 yards, par 71; $110-$225
780-852-3301, fairmont.com/jasper
Another Thompson gem, etched into the heart of Jasper National Park, this delightful layout was described in quiet reverence by Alister MacKenzie, who admired the way that Thompson used the mountains as his muse.
Their distant craggy outlines, which ring the course in all directions, are mirrored in the mounding and the greenside bunkers. Though short by today's standards, the course can mete out punishment.
As you push toward the finale, the vistas are astounding and the short-iron approaches, buffeted by breezes off the water, are as consistently confounding as any around.
Stewart Creek Golf Course
Canmore, Alberta, Canada
7,195 yards, par 72; $135-$195
877-993-4653, stewartcreekgolf.com
An abandoned mine shaft, its entrance overgrown with native grasses, casts its darkened eye over the first fairway, a relic from an era when coal was king in Canmore, a sylvan mountain town just east of Banff.
Now that mining's days are done here, nature has reclaimed the landscape. You see it in Gary Browning's design, which has all the rustic features that you look for in the Rockies, from creeks to craggy outcrops.
Though it plays at altitude, Stewart Creek spares you the goofy ups and downs that so often come at elevation. What you get instead are the high shot values of a course shaped beautifully into the mountainside.

Tiger Woods' former caddie is about to write a book. Call me a Weiner, but I can't wait to read it.
I say "Weiner" because former U.S. Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-Twitter) is the most recent metaphor for my condition. When the masses gawked at his sex scandal, sophisticates said it was "a sad reflection on our celebrity-obsessed culture."
They always say that. Then they go home and debate which Gosselin kid is most likely to end up like The Situation.
Unlike Jon and Kate, Woods' celebrity status is based on more than reproductive patterns. He built an empire, though almost nobody knew what went on behind the walls.
Now along comes Steve Williams, one of the few insiders Tiger hasn't bought off. Better yet, he's mad at his old boss over last week's firing.
News: Steve Williams plans book
What we have here is a perfect tell-all storm: A super-celeb with secrets and a spurned confidant who knows where all the swing coaches are buried.
This could be the biggest tell-all since "Mommie Dearest," when Joan Crawford's daughter informed the world that her mother was a control freak who scrubbed her face with boiling water and had a serious bias against wire coat hangers.
But wait, you caution. Should we reward Williams for turning on his old boss?
By all reports, Woods turned on him. The New Zealander spent the past 12 years being The World's Most Hated Caddie at Tiger's behest. He threw cameras into ponds, glowered at galleries and formed a one-man moat around Woods.
Williams stayed loyal when millions of fans, sponsors and Perkins waitresses were abandoning Woods. Then with Tiger indefinitely out of action, Williams asked if he could tote Adam Scott's bag in the U.S. Open.
Woods acquiesced but saw it as a betrayal. Now his old pal "Stevie" is dead to him. Sort of like Butch Harmon, Hank Haney, Elin and that fire hydrant in his neighbor's yard.
The difference is Williams never signed a confidentiality agreement. And he won't freak out when he finds a wallaby head in his bed.
But wait, you again ask. Can we believe a word he says?
I think so, but to quote Kitty Kelley – Who cares?
All's fair in love, war and celebrity exposes. Besides, Williams says it won't be the standard-issue "tell-all." It will be a book about his career and various other musings, with only a chapter or so dedicated to Woods.
No offense, Stevie, but I'll probably skip the parts about proper club selection and get right to Rachel Uchitel.
She was Paramour One, the brunette who recently had to give back her $10 million in hush money because she appeared on "Celebrity Rehab" to treat her "addiction to love." And I don't think she meant Davis the III.
Williams claims he was never aware Tiger spent his down time texting every woman in the western hemisphere. He'd damage his credibility if he backtracked in a book, but we can always hope.
Even the Kardashians are entitled to some privacy, but Woods is the Kremlin of celebrities. I went to his annual Tiger Woods Foundation event a few years ago, where hundreds of underprivileged kids were brought in to watch Tiger hit 2-irons.
Then there was a little Q&A with the kids. One asked if Woods if he had any pets. He smiled tightly and admitted he and his wife had recently bought a dog.
It qualified as headline news, since until that moment Woods had never admitted he knew what a dog was. The pooch undoubtedly had to sign a confidentiality agreement in the divorce.
Part of me thinks Williams is just playing mind games with Woods. He has no intention of writing a book. He just knows the mere threat will drive Tiger insane.
Stevie could reveal how Woods really feels about Phil Mickelson. He could tell who usually won the flatulence contests he and his ex-boss staged. And did Tiger ever scrub his clubs with boiling water and scream "No wire shafts!" when his latest set of Nike demos was delivered?
Who knows, the book might even make his old boss look good.
"I'm not disappointed that I got fired, just disappointed in the timing of it, given how loyal I've been to him," Williams said. "That obviously didn't mean much to him."
Okay, maybe it won't make Tiger look that good.
Even if it's totally bimbo-free it will still be a feast for fans served only Tiger crumbs over the years. All Stevie's book needs is a good title.
On behalf of Weiners everywhere, I suggest "Tiger Dearest."

Review Price £225.00
Manufacturer: Hotpoint
Hotpoint RZA34
With a 103 litre capacity, the RZA34 is able to hold much more food than you might first imagine, and with only having three compartments, bulkier goods like legs of lamb and big tubs of ice cream will fit with room to spare. Despite this, it is still less than waist height, and will therefore fit under counters, or be unobtrusive in small apartments.
The compartments are opaque plastic, which is unfortunate, as you have to pull them out to see what is inside, but the handles are large enough to make moving each compartment easy. The temperature controls and warning light are on the top edge of the freezer for ease of access. The RZA34 is an intriguing graphite colour, making a difference from the usual clinical white of most kitchen appliances.
This is a four star freezer, meaning food will keep in it for up to a year. There is also a Fast Freeze button on the top edge, which when activated, will cool the freezer down further, to quickly cool any fresh foods to make them keep for longer. Unfortunately, this is not a Frost Free freezer, meaning it will need to be defrosted manually.
Despite what the product specification may say, the RZA34 is rather noisy, and this may be a deal-breaker for some people. However, with a price tag of around £240 for such a large amount of space, you may consider settling for the noise and accepting such a fair deal.

Drunk Girl Proves Alcohol and Awnings Don't Mix

Yet another reason to be careful about what you post on facebook.
As Memorial Day opens the gate to summer, we all begin to plan our outdoor activities. Most of us will find a reason to get outside for the long weekend and enjoy food, friends, family and some delicious beverages. And really, it wouldn't be a summer holiday without some grilling.
What better way for us to get psyched for the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics than with a video highlighting 10 winter sports fails?

If you're part of the amazing world that is Netflix, you know there's a handy little recommendation feature. Basically, Netflix suggests programs based off what you've previously watched, and it's spot on most of the time. However, there are some instances where things get a little wacked out.

Bowling is like a right of passage; you've gotta wear those extra smelly shoes at least once in your life. Ya know, for the semi-gross experience. Not to mention the actual game is pretty fun, too. The thing is, it's also very fail prone. But we ain't complaining!

The Environment Report has been following Matt and Kelly Grocoff in their effort to make their Ann Arbor home the oldest net-zero house in America. That means in a year the home will produce as much energy or more than it uses. Matt wanted to show that making an older home an energy efficient showcase made more sense than building new.
Oldest Net Zero House in America (12/21/10)
The Environment Report has been following an effort to make a Michigan house the oldest net-zero house in America. That means in a year the home will produce as much energy or more than it uses. Lester Graham reports... the owners are at the point they can reach that goal.
Getting Fresh Air into an Air Tight House (11/16/10)
Matt Grocoff's home is 110-years-old. It was originally heated by coal... and had no insulation. Coal was cheap... so you could stoke that furnace all day long without much worry about heat escaping. These days energy is more expensive... and there are concerns about using fossil fuels that emit greenhouse gases that cause global warming.
Greenovation: A Hot Roof and a Cool Attic (11/9/10)
Matt Grocoff is getting close to his goal. He's been sealing up his drafty old house, restoring and tightening the windows, insulating everywhere possible. But he's got to make a change. The house is so tight, he now needs an air exchanger to get some fresh air circulating, otherwise, the air would get too stale - too much CO2 and not enough oxygen.
Greenovation: Solar Panels Hit Some Red Tape (9/14/10)
Matt Grocoff already has done a lot to make his home energy efficient. He's insulated, tightened, and installed really efficient heating and cooling in his 110 year old house in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Having reduced his energy use, he was ready to start installing a way to produce energy: solar panels.
Greenovation: New Storm Windows (7/27/10)
The old windows in Matt's house were drafty, but he didn't like the idea of all the resources, energy and cost that replacing the windows meant. He got some help and took them apart, got them working right, painted them, and sealed the window panes the gaps. Today is the big test.
Greenovation: Fixing Old Windows (7/6/10)
There are a lot of ads out there encouraging you to replace those old drafty windows and get new energy efficient windows, but if you've got an older house, you might be able to refurbish your old windows, save some money and save energy. Lester Graham talked with Greenovation.TV's Matt Grocoff. Grocoff is working to make his house the oldest net-zero energy home in America.
Saving Energy with Auto Switches (5//6/10)
Saving energy can be as simple as turning off the light switch when you leave a room. But in most homes... that doesn't happen all the time. Motion sensing light switches are becoming more popular because they'll switch on and off automatically.
Greenovation: Spray Foam Your Home (4/28/10)
When people talk about making their home energy independent, they often talk about solar panels and wind turbines. But before all of that, a home has to be tight. That's not as exciting, but necessary. Lester Graham follows Greenovation.tv's Matt Grocoff as he tries to make his home the oldest net-zero-energy house in America.
Greenovation: The Great Floor Debate (3/15/10)
The popular eco-friendly products are not always the best solution. Lester and Greenovation.tv's Matt Grocoff drop in on Matt's neighbor to help him with his hardwood floor dilemma.
Greenovation: Eco-Certified (1/6/10)
When you're planning a home improvement project, you can be overwhelmed with decisions about the right materials, the right quality, and the right design. Trying to keep it eco- friendly on top of everything else just adds to the confusion. Lester Graham reports it can be as simple as finding a label.
Greenovation: The Re-Use Store (12/3/09)
Home improvement projects cost a lot of money. Some environmentalists have found a way to save some money, conserve resources, and help other people get into homes.
Low Flow Showers Put to the Test (11/5/09)
Even if it meant saving a lot of hot water, many people would rather stick with their old showerheads. That's because low-flow showerheads often don't measure up. Lester Graham met up with Greenovation TV's Matt Grocoff to put new showerheads to the test.
Greenovation: Low-Flow Toilets (9/16/09)
The Environmental Protection Agency has a new water saving program called Water Sense. It's similar to the Energy Star label for electronics. To get the Water Sense program's endorsement, toilets must use less water. But, people have been complaining about the old style low-flow toilets since they were first required in the mid-1990s.
Greenovation: Whole House Fan (8/13/09)
Energy efficiency is on the mind of a lot of homeowners. They're starting to question everything about their homes, even the need for air conditioning. Lester Graham met with some homeowners and an energy-efficiency expert to talk about a different approach to cooling a house.
Teaching an Old House New Tricks (5/19/08)
Environmentally friendly architecture is becoming very common. Architects are designing innovative, cutting edge, energy-efficient homes, using renewable resources. But, Lester Graham reports on another approach that recycles an entire house.

One of the things that I have learn from the Japanese earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis is to choose your source of news well. Instead of reports on the real earthquake and tsunami victims, unfortunately, the nuclear crisis has taken up more page space and airtime. I think people has their priorities messed up here. It angers me that international attention has shifted from what is truly more important. To make matter worse, a lot of international media are blowing up the nuclear crisis out of proportion, feeding people wrong information and utter panic.
This had triggered a massive purchase of iodine outside Japan, alongside with screaming parents telling their expats children to come home. I am not saying that people should not take precaution. I think I want to keep my family in a safe distance from any radiation leakage. But, what I am against is misinformation. What is the safe distance? I mean, why are people in the US and Australia freaking out and started hoarding iodine supplements when there's no need to?
An Italian media has reported that the current radiation measurement in Tokyo is lower than in Rome. Tokyo: 0.04μSv, Rome: 0.25μSv (via @tomoakiyama). So should people in Rome start taking iodine supplements? If readings in Tokyo is this low, I doubt the radiation carried over the sea is going to be devastating. Common sense.
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Reactor is not at all like Chernobyl. The type of nuclear reactor is different and Chernobyl does not have the encasement that Fukushima has. Worse case scenario is not going to be even close to what happened in Chernobyl. I am going to refer you to a more reliable source than me. I am not a science person. Here you go:
Mutantfrog's Radiation Safety Update
Gakuranman's Tohoku Great Earthquake Update complete with worse case scenario explanations and sources
JapanProbe's Comparing Chernobyl & Fukushima
Anyway, going back to my misinformation by the media topic, Robert Zubrin of the National Review had written, "Anti-Nuclear Press Puts Japanese Lives at Risk."
Check out the Japanese Earthquake article wall of shame. http://jpquake.wikispaces.com/Journalist+Wall+of+Shame It is a growing list of fear mongering and misinformed articles.
Japan Probe has been featuring stupid articles written by irresponsible writers:
U.K. Newspaper: GET OUT OF TOKYO NOW
Media Sensationalism: BBC vs. Huffington Post
My point is: More recovery and relief reports, less nuclear hysteria. I want to know more about the condition in the progress and condition in the tsunami affected areas. People need to focus on aid and rescue than serving their own anti nuclear agenda or saving themselves from an non-existent threat.
I hope my blog readers prefers smiling ear to ear over a survival story than stressing out about a non-existent nuclear radiation leak. And please, don't believe everything the media says.

|Rox awarded grants for Mt Fisher
|Sunday, 27 January 2013 11:15
Rox Resources has been awarded three grants under the Western Australian government's Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS), totalling $100,000 to support exploration at the company's Mt Fisher gold-nickel project in WA.
The Perth-based explorer said the co-funding would be allocated to under-explored areas within the Mt Fisher project, 450km north of Kalgoorlie, including the Mt Fisher and Dam gold prospects, and the Fisher East nickel prospects at Camelwood and Corktree. Under the EIS guidelines, the funding only covers direct drilling costs and Rox is required to match the $100,000 in funding.

WhatsOnStage continues its support of The Big Issue Foundation as the official charity of the WhatsOnStage Awards, which are now entering their 15th year. The Big Issue Foundation is a charitable organisation which helps the The Big Issue magazine's vendors take their next steps off the street.
The Big Issue Company, founded by John Bird and Gordon Roddick as a pioneering social enterprise in 1991, offers people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness the opportunity to earn their own money; a livelihood. Vendors buy the magazine for £1.25 and sell it for £2.50 in targeted consumer hotspots, including key pitches in and around London's West End.
The Big Issue Foundation offers vendors the opportunity to rebuild their life. The charity works tirelessly alongside the magazine's vendors to help them deal with the issues that have caused their homelessness or have developed as a result of hitting the streets.
During the partnership The Big Issue Foundation is hosting Stage Swap, and many West End performers have already taken the chance to swap the stage for the street and joined our vendors to sell the magazine. There will also be a chance for people to bid in a theatre themed auction event during the Awards vote.
Stephen Robertson, chief executive of The Big Issue Foundation, said: "We are delighted to have been selected as the charity of choice for these prestigious Awards. This partnership will help us challenge some of the stereotypes that are associated with people who are homeless as well as generate vital funds to support our services. Homelessness is increasingly visible on the streets of our capital, and our work is 100% reliant on the support of our donors. WhatsOnStage's commitment to help make a difference where and when it counts most should be commended by everyone."

Wake Republicans Want Your Story: How Did You Built It?
The Wake County Republican Party is soliciting information from small business owners about how they built their businesses. Anyone wishing to tell their story can do so simply by sending an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com .
The effort is in response to President Obama's infamous quote that "if you own a small business, you didn't build that…"
"Business people all over the country and right here in Wake County are outraged that the President would denigrate their hard work, ingenuity and risk taking," said Susan Bryant, the Wake Republican Chairman. "His insensitive words were an insult to thousands of people, and he should be ashamed.
"We Republicans think America's entrepreneurs are the key to what made us the greatest and most prosperous country in history, and in our local area, we want to recognize these unsung heroes of free enterprise."
The party will feature the best stories from among those it receives at the new email address on its website, in various mailings and other advertising vehicles, and by inviting business owners to speak at events, according to Bryant.

CRAFTSBURY – Roy Darling says his elderly mother was nearly scammed out of close to $3,000. However, the woman checked things out before falling victim to a crime.
Darling said his mother received a call Monday from someone identifying himself as Eli Thompson from the Border Patrol. The caller said that her grandson was in a car with three other individuals, one of whom was carrying drugs, and was trying to enter the United States from Canada.Â
NEWPORT–Retiring Falcon Head Coach Bob Davis will take six of his players with him as he heads down to Middlebury this weekend for his final coaching assignment, guiding the Northern squad in the Annual North/South Game.

Sandy Boblin
In April of 2009 I was given the gift of life. My hiking partner and I were involved in a back-country avalanche accident. I received a lower leg injury which I am still healing from. I now feel not only blessed to be alive, but to have been given the opportunity to draw and pursue my dream of being an artist! I have now formed my company known as 'EMINART'. The 'Eminence' of your animal 'In Art." Sandy Boblin, a self taught graphite artist from Alberta is taking commissions of animals and it gives me great pleasure to produce work that portrays animals in Art. I am also expanding my talents to do commissioned scenery work.
Bernie Brown
Canadian artist Bernie Brown is a self-taught pencil artist born and raised in Saskatchewan. A former junior high school art and physical education teacher, he gave up teaching in 1989 to become a full-time pencil artist. In 1993 this Canadian pencil artist and his family left their home in Swift Current, Saskatchewan and now live near Okotoks, Alberta. Alberta artist Bernie Brown takes great pride in his prairie heritage and strives to accurately depict scenes in his artwork that portray our western culture through his western art. Recently, realistic wildlife drawings have given him the opportunity to support worthwhile organizations whose purpose is to preserve these animals in their natural habitat.
Richard Brown
Welcome to brownblackandwhite, where we promote the timeless grace and beauty of pencil drawing, and celebrate the creativity of the pencil artist. The gallery is open, our time is yours, and we are delighted that you could join us. We would be very pleased to show you photo realistic celebrity pencil portraits, scenes from the old west,
renderings of vintage steam locomotives, and several limited edition wildlife art prints that are all currently on display. These images are in the form of lifelike black and white graphite pencil drawings.

Richard Brown
Kent Burles
I was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in 1955 moving at the age of nine to Montreal.
From filling every available page with doodles at the age of two, my parents shared encouraging words and enrolled me in Art classes at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. I'll never forget the image of the aged Arthur Lismer visiting our class! My interest in art lead me to complete my Art History degree at McGill University.
Common in all my work, is a love of costume, regalia, extraordinary faces and the souls behind those faces. The pages displayed here illustrate my love of visual storytelling and my fascination with the mystery of past realities. The lives of every human being are shot through with the possiblities and limitations that those past realities imply. I can only hope that I can express even a portion of what that might mean.
Judy Dahl
Today, one of only a few Canadians to be accredited in both livestock and equine photography, Judy still shoots prize-winning animals, but now her portfolio has expanded to include photos of old barns and empty elevators, abandoned houses and deserted farm yards, dilapidated outhouses and forgotten machinery - mementos of lives and industry now past.
Not only does Judy's extensive collection serve as an historic reference, but the photos are also fodder for her highly treasured Prismacolor crayon and pencil drawings, water-colours, and oil paintings.
Nona Foster
Nona's subjects are varied, due to the different locations she has lived and experienced, the people she has met and was inspired and passionate to create from these experiences.
Her art portrays a variety of subjects including western, native and wildlife images. During her research she has kept in mind the preservation of Canada's wildlife, our National Parks and the beautiful untouched back country.
Nona's native ancestry ( Cree and Cherokee ) give her inspiration and vision to create and become a part of her art.
Visit Nona Foster at www.nonafoster.ca
Michelle Grant
Born in Calgary, Michelle was exposed to horses through the Calgary Stampede, Spruce Meadows and her own experiences riding in the Alberta foothills.
Being a certified horse nut, most of Michelle's work centers on her love for horses, however her work also includes portraits of people and wildlife.
Simply put, she likes to "go places and do things" and then loves to paint the images that she finds inspiring from the event. "Going places and doing things" typically includes horseback riding, fishing, hiking, and attending rodeos, brandings, horse races and show jumping events.
Dean Herbert
Canadian artist Dean John Herbert is a self-taught pencil artist.
This Alberta artist is very diversified with his subjects. Dean depicts the farming way of life and captures the rustic and weathered barns of yesterday with deep feeling and appreciation.
His work also includes wildlife, sports drawings (Alberta NHL hockey players and events.) Dean is also a skilled portrait artist.
His style is realistic and Dean pays close attention to detail and correctness in his artwork.
Kevin Joyce
Canadian Artist Kevin Joyce has quickly made his mark in the arts community.
His graphite drawing titled Aging Gracefully won an award of excellence at the 2007 Muskoka Arts & Crafts spring members show, and he also took second place overall at Kempenfest Arts & Crafts Festival Barrie Ontario that same year. Kevin occasionally accepts commission work when time permits.
Kevin Joyce may be contacted if you have any questions or comments at email@example.com
Sandy Makokis
I was exposed to art at an early age. My artistic mother had an easel in the corner of the dining room where she painted with oils and sketched between working and raising a family. I used crayon, pencils, pencil crayons and chalk, sometimes doing illustrations on the blackboard for the teachers in elementary school.
I love working with oils, acrylic and pastels, and sometimes combining the media for special effects. I found that photography is a fast fix for me to freeze the subjects that I want to paint. I sometimes refer to several photos to get the big picture. Camping, working and playing are all a part of my sources.
Working in pencil, I capture the colour and details to show the mood of the moment suspended in the fraction of time when the image occurred. Many of my prints are in private collections across Canada, USA, and some in Japan and Taiwan.

A Transportation Security Administration agent at Orlando International Airport was caught on video taking a passenger's iPad.
Andy Ramirez was fired on Wednesday night after he was reportedly caught on undercover video released by ABC News testing the honesty of TSA employees, taking the iPad, which was tracked to his house with a tracking app.
Chair of the House Transportation Committee John Mica says TSA is being investigated after an alarming number of thefts were reported at airports across the country.
"This is an absolute outrage, this is unacceptable," Mica said.
At one airport in New Jersey Mica said supervisors knew about the thefts but didn't do anything.
"Sometimes their supervisors give a wink and a nod as we hear took place in Newark which is not acceptable," Mica said.
Mica said the biggest problem is what's going on behind the scene in checked baggage.
"They've turned the cameras off, they've covered them when they're stealing, there's a whole bunch of routines that I've been made aware of," he said.
TSA released a statement to Local 6, saying "TSA holds its employees to the highest ethical standards. TSA has zero tolerance for misconduct in the workplace and takes immediate action when allegations are substantiated."
It's not clear if Ramirez will face charges.

Margaret Doyle remembers Lady Bristol of Ickworth
As part of Ickworth Lives, we've been collecting the memories of former servants at Ickworth.
During the 4th Marchioness's time at Ickworth, she would personally interview members of her own staff and Margaret Doyle (nee Sitch) recalls her own interview in which her mother called her lazy.
In spite of this Margaret went on to secure a position at Ickworth as a kitchen maid and after leaving school at the tender age of fourteen, she began work at the estate in the 1940s.
Kitchen maids would have worked incredibly long hours starting very early in the morning until late in the evening. Typically they would have got as little as half a day off a week and duties would have included such things as plucking pheasants, scrubbing floors and pans and peeling potatoes.
At such a young age Margaret would have been in awe of the grandeur of the estate and especially of Lord and Lady Bristol and here she recalls her time working for the 4th Marchioness of Bristol:
'Lady Bristol, she'd come across the Dining Room floor and she wore brogue shoes with metal plate toe and heel and as she came down the stairs – clip, clip, clip. And she had an enamel plate, which she turned upside down and she was always tapping on it, singing a hymn and she'd give Miss Sangster the menu for the day. And if she walked into the Kitchen, Lady Bristol, you walked out. She used to come down for the dogs' biscuits, you see. But they had to be cut half an inch square.'
Visit our newly opened basement to learn more about the kind of duties that Margaret Doyle and other servants would have performed during their time at Ickworth.
