Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'GSSF' started by DannyR, Jul 27, 2002.
Post your reflections here.
Well, it was HOT, and HUMID, and fun enough that I'm going back again today. I shot Stockmeister yesterday and did improve over last years score maybe I'll shoot unlimited master for the heck of it (and the practice).
That's the spirit.
Like Butch said, very hot & humid. Had a lot of fun and think I did better than last year. It's still more challenging than it looks.
I saw many good shooters and one of them ahead of me took 6 plates in 3.08 seconds if I remember correctly. I find this type of behavior intimidating.
That might have been me. If you remember though, I trashed my next run due to two "dud" rounds. This was my "what not to do" GSSF match. I had been loading ammo the night before I drove up to the match. I had run out of small pistol primers for my .40, so I switched to small rifle primers. I use rifle primers exclusively for my IPSC guns, so I thought nothing of using them in the Glock.
Apparently the primer cups are hard enough that the Glock won't always make them go bang. Not a good thing. The rest of that ammo is going to be for practice only. I think I had about ten misfires while shooting in four divisions. (about a 2.5% failure rate. Not good)
In spite of all that, I managed to shoot a personal best time. It was still a very fun match. Hopefully, I'll be able to make the Hallsville match this year.
Jakk, I don't remember the face, only the number. Anyway, congratulations on your personal best.
Wow, I think I may have doubled my score from last year!;f It was fun and the weather was great! Picked up some 17 round mags! Now its time to make ready for GREELEY!
This was my first GSSF match; been waiting for it for the past 6 months. All the Oakdale volunteers were absolutely GREAT, the courses of fire were challenging to say the least, weather was "sticky hot" and all in all it was a wonderful weekend. I must also commend the Glock Armorer...I'll bet he cleaned over 200 handguns and answered 5-times the questions...what a PERSONABLE PROFESSIONAL. But, I must admit, I was alittle disappointed at the noticable lack of "GSSF commraderie". Folks I'd pass by on the trails leading to the different stages would just pass by without saying a word. I know, if I would have greeted them they would have responded in kind. I guess I may have been expecting too much. I'll certainly be back again next year. Thanks Oakdale and the GSSF for making this all possible.
Hi Robb! ;a
I was there also and at first I always smiled and said hello to the people I met between stages but then a guy from Minnesota told me that smiles are one of the many items that are taxed in Minnesota. So its more of a Minnesota problem than a Glock problem. Now that I'm back in North Dakota I can smile without being taxed.
I also shot on sat.shot stockmeister for a warmup,then shot unlimited with some good plate times 3.09-3.06-3.65 and conservative 3.90.Should end up aroung 65 secs for entire match with penalties,can't remember my past scores as I haven't attended a GSSF match for awhile.How does my total compare to other unlim's? Jeff
Hi Spentshell!!!! Thanks for the greeting. Gee, I wonder if GSSF has matches in North Dakota?
Great, fun match; my first. Hot as Hades (us northerners don't hold up too well in high humidity), but at least there was shade at all the bays.
Now, my only complaint. They had three 5-to-Glock target set-ups, and at about 10:00 AM Sunday, two of the three timers went kaput. One timer, three target arrays makes for a lot of non-productive waiting in extreme heat. That's why I did poorly. Yeah, THAT'S THE TICKET!!! Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Anyone got an old timer they could donate to GGSF for backup duty?
I DON'T want to end on a sour note. I had a GREAT time; can't wait to do it again!!!
Hah! On the way to the match Saturday morning, I stopped at a gas station and got a new nine volt battery for my Peltor muffs. Can you guess where that battery is now? Yup, it's in one of those timers...
And Robb! I'm sure I said Hi to ya! I was the guy wearing the wet, blue T shirt and carrying a black gun bag with 'GLOCK' on it... (and Sunday I was wearing a white hat with a B17 bomber on it)
I had a great time!!! I shot in the competition and AmLE categories on Saturday. My first time shooting in the comp class and I was really just using it as a warm up for AmLE. I wish I could have taken the best from each and put them together for one really good run (something about rules, go figure). I think I had my personal best string of four plates in a match on my comp plate run. I had one that was 2 something and the RO said it was their first 2 second run. I didn't get too proud though...I knew Butch was waiting on deck behind me. He cleaned up on his runs and blew my time out of the water.;h
The best part was that my dad shot with me on Saturday for his first GSSF Match. We went back on Sunday and watched my brother and sister-in-law shoot too. I must say that things seemed to run a lot smoother on Sunday. They got off to a slow start on Saturday but by the afternoon things were going good and Sunday seemed real good. Thank you to all the RO's. Now comes the hard part...waiting for the results!!
I agree it was going very smoothly on Sunday, about noonish when I went through. Good job, ROs and organizers!!!
Dang, Butch, I wish I'd known all they needed was some batteries; I even had some in the truck! When they told me the timers had "died", I assumed they were really DEAD (or seriously malfunctioning), not just short of juice. Oh well...
Oakdale has a nice little outdoor range complex, too. Quite surprising to me, considering how close to a large population center it is.
Just wondering, did anyone connect? I only did with one, but I knew him when he was much younger!
This was my second year and it was just as much fun as last time. Though I blew my chances of repeating a top 15 finish in A-class after I managed to actually miss each of the farther D-1 targets once each on the Glock-M stage. Oh well, I'll just use the two "mikes" as motivation to do better next year.
Everything ran very smoothly and the RO's were all very friendly, helpful, and humorous (especially when they saw how dissapointed I was in my two misses ). Wait times for each stage were very short or non-existant. I dragged my dad along again this year (he wasn't sure he wanted to try it again after his performance last year) and we walked right up to the Five to Glock stage as there were absolutely no shooters there. We waited a short time to do the Glock M stage and then had a "medium" wait for the plates. However, the waits would have been shorter had all of us not had to sit around while one competitor shot at leat 4 different guns. Good for him, but a lot of the people waiting behind him thought he had one of every model Glock makes! I heard one guy ask him "What Glock DON'T you have?"
The armorer was the same guy from last year, and he's very good. He never makes you feel like you're wasting his time even when there's a long line of people waiting for him to give their guns the "once over."
Overall, kudos to the Oakdale Gun Club and the GSSF for another year of fun. I'm already eagerly anticipating next years match.
I've fired warning shots at D-1's myself, so I know how you feel.
I seem to recall in rules it said you only shoot TWO guns and then wait until your name called again if their is a line? Of course if he is a RO or worker he jumps the line.
Forgot to add I didn't make it as I was up in Grand Forks. Was looking forward to it for months.

I love planning for retirement, counting my money and figuring out how much more I'll need before I can just hang out at the cabin and listen to the eagles and read.
So when BMO sent out a news release this morning about a new retirement planning tool I immediately tried it – and was disappointed. The link brought me to a tool that talked about things like do you want to travel, and how is your health. But all I want to know is do I have enough money. It turns out the wrong link was attached to the BMO release and I look forward to trying the calculator when I figure out where it is.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
Retirement calculators: do you have enough to retire? Back to video
In the meantime The Vancouver Sun website has a pretty good calculator (click here) that asks things like how much do you have now and how much more do you plan to save which is a great quick way to get a sense of where you are at. A graph tells you how long you can expect your money to last and you can change parameters, such as how much money you think you'll need each year, to help plan ahead.
Service Canada also has a good calculator (clickhere), full of information, like how to get a statement of your estimated CPP benefits, and what difference it makes to take CPP at 60 or 65. It also estimates how long you will live, based on age and gender and asks for information about specific investments (and whether your employer pension is defined contribution or defined benefit).
It's a bit lengthy because it is so detailed, and I have never got through it. But one day I will. Perhaps when I'm retired and have more time.
Postscript: BMO has now provided me with the right link. Here it is.

- What a travesty. We should be mourning before God for the
well-deserved judgments being poured out on our nation (Romans 1:18-32).
- It appears that now the government believes that it can compel speech.
People can be forced to say things that they belong to be wrong, immoral
or abhorrent. Christians can be forced to voice opinions that they
disagree with. The age of thoughtcrime is officially upon us.
- Notice how secular/sacred division stemming from the secular
"Enlightenment" has generated this absurd decision. The judge has held
that the viewpoint "homosexual relationships are moral" is not a
"religious view," but that the exact reverse viewpoint "homosexual
relationships are not moral" is a religious view. Even though one is the
exact negation of the other, and hence neither is more religious than
the other, the judge is presumably in thrall to secularism. So, if
Christianity says "X", then this is "religious" ... but if secular
humanism says "not X", that's not religious. Or perhaps, the preferred
opinions of the government are de facto just not religious, just because
they happen to have had enough members of parliament vote on them. Is
the government's viewpoint just "not religious" somehow automatically by
definition? In another context, this sort of way of thinking would be
called "blind prejudice".
- The question of whether the baker declined to print a slogan for
religious reasons or not would be moot in a free society. In a free
society, there is no such thing as government-compelled speech. The
state doesn't get to force citizens to repeat its slogans in free
societies, and citizens don't have to explain why they're not going to
repeat them. That is, rather, a feature of fascist states. The reason
why a citizen declines to repeat the government-preferred slogan is a
total irrelevance outside of that kind of setting. The very fact that
the judges think it's their business to pry into a citizen's thoughts,
to decide whether those thoughts provided an adequate reason to decline
to repeat particular speech, in itself shows how far we've fallen.
- And as such, what a travesty. May God, in judgment, remember mercy.

Menendez, Booker, Baraka, Payne, Sires Announce $7.4 Million Federal Grant to Hire 38 Newark Firefighters
Menendez, Booker, Baraka, Payne, Sires Announce $7.4 Million Federal Grant to Hire 38 Newark Firefighters
NEWARK, NJ – U.S. Sens. Bob Menendez and Cory Booker, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, and U.S. Representatives Donald Payne, Jr., and Albio Sires joined Essex County Executive DiVencenzo, Jr., and Newark Fire Chief John G. Centanni today to announce that the Newark Fire Department has been awarded a $7.4 million federal Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant to hire 38 firefighters and help bring the department in compliance with nationally recognized best-practices for staffing.
"Our first responders put their lives on the line each day, and we must make certain that they have the resources they need to save lives," said Sen. Menendez. "This critical federal funding is our way of saying thank you to our heroes for keeping us safe, and it will help ensure the Newark Fire Department is adequately staffed and our firefighters ready to answer the bell when emergencies strike."
"New Jersey's firefighters and fire departments protect our communities," said Sen. Booker. "But they can't do their job if they don't have the staff and resources they need. Not only will this grant create 38 good-paying jobs here in Newark, but it will help the brave men and women of the Newark Fire Department save lives and ensure public safety."
"Every day, our firefighters take very real risks to keep us safe, and they deserve our best efforts to ensure they can successfully perform their duties and protect themselves from harm," said Congressman Payne, Jr. "As Newark continues to grow, it is essential that its fire department has the resources and personnel needed to keep up with that growth. This funding will enhance the safety and efficiency of the Newark Fire Department as they continue to ensure the well-being of our community."
"Our communities depend on the bravery and heroism of our first responders each and every day," said Rep. Sires. "This grant will help our state's largest fire department better meet the needs of its continues."
"We wish to thank FEMA and the members of New Jersey's federal delegation, Senators Booker and Menendez and Congressmen Payne and Sires, for acknowledging the efforts of Newark's firefighters and emergency response workers with the SAFER Grant," said Mayor Baraka. "Newark is the State of New Jersey's largest city — an urban center which is home to one of the nation's largest air, rail and shipping hubs, as well as more than 280,000 residents, and growing — and our service needs are complex. The SAFER grant will enhance our staffing needs for firefighters and emergency response workers and our efforts to deliver to the citizens of Newark deserve the best services possible."
The SAFER program is administered by the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and seeks to increase the number of frontline firefighters, enhancing the ability of departments to attain and maintain 24-hour staffing and assuring that their communities have adequate protection from fire and fire-related hazards.
The SAFER program has provided a total of $55.8 million in grants to New Jersey fire departments throughout FY 2014, including a $21 million grant to the Atlantic City Fire Department announced by Menendez and Booker earlier this month that will prevent the layoffs of 85 local firefighters.

Property in Malta that has been overpriced by inexperienced developers is seeing a correction to more realistic values.
Mr Buttigieg, who with his brother Jeff, added Malta to the world's largest real estate network in April 2004, says his franchise has seen sales for the first quarter of this year rise by 15 per cent on the same period last year. He attributes the increase mostly to first-time buyers acquiring property in the €112,000 to €200,000 bracket. That is double the first-time buyers' figure for the corresponding period in 2008, and 200 per cent over the first quarter in 2007.
"This is the best time to buy – it is a buyers' market and the interest rates are attractive," Mr Buttigieg points out. "People are seeing they can afford to take out a loan for a better property and grab opportunities when they arise. It must be pointed out that if sellers have their own financial difficulties, like making losses on the stock market, and suddenly find that they need to sell their property quickly, the price is reduced for a quick sale. It does not mean that property prices actually went down.
"It simply means this person had to sell because of unforeseen circumstances at a lower price to carry out the transaction quickly. Unfortunately people see this as a drop in price. It is not the case at all."
Buyers, he says, are also becoming more demanding. The onus is on developers to offer better quality and the agents to provide a better service.
The property market, he points out, witnessed "massive growth" between 2000 and 2007 as developers fuelled a boom and up to 50 per cent of property was sold on plan. Mr Buttigieg, who says only one in four property sales in Malta involve agencies or freelance agents, insists many buyers who entered into promises of sale for properties during those years, often failed to lay down specifications for finishes. Quality on completion was often poor or far from expectations.
Developers – from large organisations to owners of villas and terraced houses – saw that people were willing to pay and upped their prices by 10 to 20 per cent a year in areas like Sliema and Madliena. As the craze caught on, developers operating in Fgura, Żabbar and St Paul's Bay raised their prices to up to 20 per cent. Sales began to slow down when prices became unrealistic.
Mr Buttigieg believes buyers overspent on property in the period between 2005 and 2008 and it was not long before the brakes were applied. He says valuations and pricing determined according to a trend are slowly fading as more agents price property according to size per square metre as is the norm overseas. Remax's 70 agents in Malta use electronic measuring guns to be able to supply clients with the measurements of every room in a property – one way, Mr Buttigieg says, to save both clients and agents time.
The recently established Federation of Estate Agents has been pushing for the government to issue a house price index periodically so that owners and estate agents may have a reliable guideline on which to base valuations and prices.
"In most countries overseas, agents are able to access official statistics on a database to find out what property in the area or even in a particular street was sold for in the past," Mr Buttigieg explains.
"In that way, agents are able to show sellers and buyers that a determined price is realistic. It would help no end to have this facility here. Many people are disappointed when they make plans for their future on the basis of what they think their property will fetch, and are bitterly disappointed when the return is far lower than they were led to believe it would be."
With the experience gained in selling property in Malta for only five years – he says transactions prove Remax is the top seller of Malta's high-end property developments – he contends that the days of buyers signing on the dotted line blindly for properties still on plan are over.
"People are more exigent nowadays," Mr Buttigieg points out. "Everyone wants more luxury in a property, and more and more people can afford it. Finishes will often determine if a sale is closed or abandoned, whether the property is intended as the buyer's residence or as a rental investment. People also want their money's worth. That is why the economic crisis will bring about a clean-up."
All the "cowboys", he says, will slowly be driven out of business: the sloppy developers, the shady professionals, and the turnkey contractors finishing properties with seconds imported from the East. The more professional agents who don't like the look of a development are already refusing to be associated with low-quality properties.
Mr Buttigieg has noticed that developers with property on their hands which they have failed to sell are correcting their mistakes and replacing shabby finishes with upgraded materials and accessories.
He insists attention to detail makes all the difference. Even estate agents have to work harder. There was a time, he recalls, when agents acted like taxi drivers, scurrying clients from one property to another around the country, armed with a set of keys.
In the same way as the practice does not work with overseas buyers, it does not work with the Maltese. Clients expect agents to be familiar with properties before a viewing, know of every minor detail and even help them arrange meetings with the banks, and recommend furniture, furnishing and fittings suppliers.
"Within three years of kicking off a career in this business, most agents will earn their commission from repeat business – 75 per cent of their sales usually involve past clients or referrals. It is essential that quality service is offered to clients," Mr Buttigieg insists.
"Besides, as a trainer leading a Remax programme overseas said recently, 'a crisis is a terrible time to waste'. Crisis or no crisis, we plan to expand with another four offices on the island so there are franchise opportunities available for the more entrepreneuring agents".
Mr Buttigieg also calls on the government to lend the developers and the stronger estate agents more support to promote Malta better. He says that, on the whole, the industry has really not done its bit to market the country. He points out that the developers and agents are ready to do it but they needed the government's support.

Don't miss press opportunities at your next cannabis tradeshow
There are lots of reasons to exhibit at or even just attend a cannabis tradeshow. For starters, it is always just a reminder of the depth of this growing industry. From cultivators to dispensaries, suppliers and everything in between, tradeshows offer a tangible example of the ingenuity that the cannabis industry is inspiring. Beyond that, tradeshows offer the opportunity to meet with potential clients, network and make deals with likeminded companies and individuals, and all around establish a name for yourself in the space. But the costs are high and many people often walk away from a tradeshow questioning the value of returning. These people are missing the single most important aspect of a tradeshow: the press opportunity.
In public relations, especially in cannabis, we are looking for ways to make our clients timely and relevant. One of the best ways to do this is to exhibit at, speak at or even just attend a tradeshow. Anytime we have a client participating in an event, we are 10 times more like to be able to secure them coverage without any other PR stunt (e.g. new announcements, products, funding, etc.). Being chosen to speak at a conference positions you as an expert in your field and the perfect candidate for news exposure. Let's break this all down.
Why do tradeshows make news exposure more likely?
Journalists are inherently busy and need a push to get your story told ahead of others. One tactic to do this is to tie it in with a local or timely hook. A conference utilizes both tactics. Because the conference is only taking place for a finite amount of time, journalists are more inclined to re-arrange their schedules to cover the conference before it concludes. Additionally, there is a "local" element to the pitch (a pitch is the written tool PR people use to reach out to journalists to secure coverage) when a company or person is attending a tradeshow in a specific market.
Generally, tradeshow organizers arrange for press to attend their shows, especially in less cannabis-friendly markets as the press is very eager to cover this emerging multi-billion dollar industry. That list, combined with your own PR efforts, makes the opportunity for you to secure coverage that much stronger.
How do you get in front of the press at a conference?
This is the real magic. You must make your story fit with a journalist's angle. Short of simply asking the journalist, you can almost always assume that their angle would be the economic and societal impacts of the cannabis industry entering their market. Unless they are coming to interview with a specific speaker or celebrities, local news will want to cover how this conference effects their audience, all while using the "hot words" such as marijuana and weed (these terms are more "sexy" to their news audiences so don't be offended when mainstream media uses them, they've got to sell clicks). Your goal is to get in front of these journalists and be camera-ready and able to explain how your business or product is pushing positive change for their viewers/readers. If you are speaking or exhibiting, the press team on-site should be able to give you a list of the press in attendance. For instance, CMW manages press for the Cannabis Science Conference, Emerald Conference and CBD Expos. We first look to bring press to the conference organizers and then to featured speakers and sponsors. If you want to be included in that, you must reach out and work with the conference press team (or hire a PR firm to do this – hint hint).
What impact does press coverage have?
First and foremost, having your company, brand or executive featured in a news piece is the single best credibility builder there is. We all now know the importance of "influencer marketing" (or at least we should). The media is the original influencer and public relations is the original #sponsoredcontent coordinator. When the press discusses you as an expert in your field or an innovative big player, the public generally accepts this and remembers you as such. This cannot be accomplished any other way (unless you're Fyre Festival and spend $2m on one Instagram influencer campaign – and we all know how that played out). Earned media is credible and well respected by audiences and creates a sense of jealously in competitors. I can't tell you how many people have said to me "I don't understand why I need PR" right after they finished telling me how "tired they are of seeing their competitor in the news." Gee – there is a reason they're being covered and it's not just happening organically – it's literally being earned. For more on why PR is so important for cannabis companies, check out my other blog here.
So, what is my takeaway?
The one thing I want any reader of this to takeaway is that ANYTIME you are attending an event, you must think of the press opportunity. Whether it's a small "cannagather" meeting in your local area or MJ Biz Con (the world's largest cannabis expo) in Las Vegas, every event you attend creates a unique and timely press opportunity that takes time to prepare for and capitalize on. But with the right team and strategy it is possible:

bill-swift - June 29, 2016
The thing about Stacey Poole stripteases is you know where the story is headed and you still can't wait to see the surprises. That's some kind of visual narrative genius really. Taking off your clothes always has the same happy ending, but you'll watch it a million times over, because it's really all about the journey, not the destination. Actually both if that means Stacey's engorged mega-mams.
Sometimes I watch a sextastic buxom brunette getting naked on a couch and I think to myself, damn, that's one lucky couch. That probably seems odd, it does to me, but I can't help thinking about a glamorous model like Stacey Poole rolling around on top of me wiggling out of her clothes. Being a couch may be my best chance at that happening. Glorious funbags can save this world if only we allow them to do their work. Bras are evil. Long live the free teats! Enjoy.

I also have two girls almost the exact same age and I think your list must be universal. I love the idea that to my four year old I am the "best Prince Charming ever!"

It'll be a tall order to simply limit myself to 10 things! Look for it in tomorrow's edition of A&NY.

Reality TV – Creating the Storyline by NMD
Reality TV is soft scripted. Even though the cast doesn't follow a written script, when the show is edited, it is cut into story arcs. People just aren't that interesting 24/7. With the editing comes a lot of creative license. They editors and producers are telling a story from hours and hours of footage. It's really no different than a scripted show, except the actors are doing improv rather than reading lines. They play off each other – with some reactions real, and others manufactured.
David Ropel is one of the people responsible for the Real Housewives franchise. He was an original producer for Orange County, and produced a few episodes for the first season of Beverly Hills. His experience on reality TV is deep, ranging from Temptation Island to Housewives. Below is an excerpt from an interview he gave to the writers's guild talking about how he puts together a show.
|People tune into a reality show and expect a beginning, middle, and end, just as if they were watching an episode of ER. When I worked on scripted shows, there was no problem. You simply write all the relevant beats to that week's tale.With reality, things are different. Real people don't live their lives in carefully packaged scenes. Nobody wakes up, announces a topic for the day, has meaningful discussions throughout the day about that topic, and then has a tidy wrap-up talk before they go to bed.That means story producers must find creative ways to fill in the missing gaps of stories. This could mean:• Searching for footage that may have happened days or weeks apart that are about the same topic. (That's why drastic haircuts were so problematic on The Real World.)
• Make sure you interview the participants thoroughly, so that you can "create" a missing scene with interview bites and appropriate b-roll footage. When I worked on Bug Juice(a show for Disney Channel about kids at summer camp), we faced a major problem with our big boy-girl love story. After weaving this storyline through nine episodes, we were caught flat-footed when our boy Connor had the nerve to dump his girl, Stephanie, off-camera! We had enough interview bites to explain what happened, but we needed a good visual to make it work… If you catch a rerun of the show, you will see a happy Stephanie obliviously bounce up to Connor, who solemnly takes her hand and leads her off, as his interview bite explains he needs to end things. With the help of a tender music cue, it turned out to be a touching and bittersweet end to our summer romance. The reality: Steph walked up to Connor, gushed about his Adidas t-shirt and they headed off to have lunch. We used the interview bites and music cue to shape the otherwise innocuous scene to approximate the reality that we failed to shoot.
• Find a scene that has many of the same emotional beats as the missing one, and use interview bites to shape it to be about the other topic. Example: an argument about an ex-boyfriend and an argument about paying the check have many similarities–looks of frustration, angry body language and similar verbal sentiments ("Why are you being so stubborn?"). If you remove all references to paying the check and add interview bites about the "ex-boyfriend," you'll be able to approximate the missing scene.
Ethics Note: We don't "create" scenes to trick people. With the exception of Big Brother, there is no show that I am aware of that shoots 24/7, which means we are going to miss certain moments. Those gaps in the plot have to be filled to make the story complete.
David Ropel
Jeff Bartsch edits reality shows, below he talks about cutting a scene for a show he was working on.
|A few months ago, I was editing for a current popular reality TV show. Sitting in my dimly lit edit bay, I flipped through my story notes and started watching the raw footage of the scene I was about to cut. At that moment, the husband and wife in the scene were in the midst of an argument mediated by the show's main protagonist. Watching the footage, I was presented with multiple ways to end the scene, with options ranging from the husband completely stonewalling the discussion to the couple literally kissing and making up.I reached for my phone and dialed up my story producer. She told me that the husband's character arc was an important thread throughout the episode; he shouldn't give in immediately, but he has to be likeable. In light of that, I cut the scene so that the couple came to an uncertain middle ground and agreed to keep moving forward on the task at hand. Ah yes, a potential story snag averted. Good times.
Taking a sip from my Diet Coke, I reflected on what had just happened. With one conversation, my story producer and I had just shaped issues of audience empathy, prolonged the release of tension, and ultimately provided a turning point in the arc of the show's characters. Now if that's not writing, I don't know what is.
Jeff Bartsch
In David Gopel's interview, he added an ethics note about scene manipulation and not trying to 'trick' people. His interview was written quite a few years ago. I suspect the line on that issue has shifted as the production companies from the various franchises compete for the most popular city in the series.
This is not to excuse any on-screen behavior, but to simply point out that what we're seeing and reacting to, is heavily influenced by how it is edited.
Phil Suspended from Duck Dynasty after Homophobic Comments by NMD
From A&E network Wednesday:
"We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson's comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty"
"His personal views in no way reflect those of A+E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community. The network has placed Phil under hiatus from filming indefinitely."
Phil's comments in a January issue of GQ where he compares homosexuality to bestiality and promiscuity:
"Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men," he tells reporter Drew Magary. "Don't be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers—they won't inherit the kingdom of God. Don't deceive yourself. It's not right."
"It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man's anus. That's just me. I'm just thinking: There's more there! She's got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I'm saying? But hey, sin: It's not logical, my man. It's just not logical."
GLAAD rep Wilson Cruz responded to Robertson's remarks with a statement:
"Phil and his family claim to be Christian, but Phil's lies about an entire community fly in the face of what true Christians believe. He clearly knows nothing about gay people or the majority of Louisianans — and Americans — who support legal recognition for loving and committed gay and lesbian couples.
"Phil's decision to push vile and extreme stereotypes is a stain on A&E and his sponsors who now need to reexamine their ties to someone with such public disdain for LGBT people and families.
In another quote – Phil made comments about pre-civil rights days that are sure to raise eyebrows.
"Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I'm with the blacks, because we're white trash. They're singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, 'I tell you what: These doggone white people'—not a word!… Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues."


text: The American Design Club—AMDC—was conceived in the spring of 2008. At the time, American relevance in design was in question, and many postulated that US designers would never be as prominent or prolific as European designers. Founders Kiel Mead, Annie Lenon, and Henry Julier saw that there was plenty of talent and ambition within American designers, but what was ultimately missing was a way for designers to share their work with a broad audience. The AMDC founding members created a platform where designers could launch new ideas and connect with each other. AMDC began as a community that was submission-based, in which the strongest pieces would be displayed. This method enabled AMDC to create shows that granted exposure to new designers.

war on the world to become the leader of a one world Government.
Looking at this mornings news the excuse is coming quickly. I will supply you the Issue covered and the link you can read which ever of the myriad of issues you choose. I have been sitting on the list of what they call the top news Headlines of 2007 and the majority of it simply illustrates how degenerate our society has become. The rest of it illustrates the reasons in America that will help give Bush the excuse to take total control of us as he prosecutes this plan for the world.
Anyway as you know, the top Headline never even made the news and that is the myriad of laws passed secretly to allow Bush to take Our America. The power grab! I invite you to thumb through their version of So called top headlines of 2007
This is a good time for us all to come up with our own damn list and it would be a long one. Please feel free to come up with your own. I would be interested!
Now as we watch our standard of living purposely being degenerated and of course not being a top Headline I am sickened but I will supply you just one mornings supply of the impendent explosion set in motion by Bush! Car bombs seem to be the overwhelming story of the day as all of this will only serve to get this Forever War in full gear!
Rescuers are sifting through the rubble of the United Nations headquarters in Algiers hoping to find survivors after a powerful bomb ripped off the building's facade and leveled nearby U.N. offices. It was one of two suspected car bombs that struck Algiers within 10 minutes of each other.The death toll is unclear: the official government count is at least 26, but hospital sources in Algiers told CNN affiliate BFM-TV that 76 people were killed in the two blasts. A statement from the United Nations said 45 people were reported killed. Algerian Interior Minister Noureddine Yazid Zerhouni blamed a militant Islamic group with ties to al Qaeda for the attacks, which also targeted a building housing Algeria's Constitutional Council and Supreme Court. UN Headquarters Blown up in Algiers
A high-ranking Lebanese army general was killed in an explosion in Beirut's Christian suburb of Baabda Wednesday, military intelligence sources told CNN. At least three others were also killed in the blast. Brig. Gen. Francois Al-Hajj was the head of operations for the Lebanese army and was believed to be a top candidate to take over as army commander in the event current commander Gen. Michel Suleiman is elected president. In Washington, National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe said the Bush administration "strongly condemns" the assassination.
Three car bombs rip through Southern Iraqi city and At least 27 people are dead after three car bombs ripped through the southern Iraqi city of Amara on Wednesday, the Iraqi Interior Ministry said. Many of the dead and wounded are women and children, reported al-Forat, an Iraqi television station affiliated with the Supreme Islamic Council of Iraq. Maj. Gen. Abdul Karim Khalaf, head of the Interior Ministry's National Command Center, confirmed the death toll and said 151 people were wounded. Khalaf and a committee were heading to Amara to investigate the bombings. The Interior Ministry has fired the city's police chief in the aftermath of the attacks, Khalaf said. According to the ministry, a car bomb went off on Dijla Street, a commercial thoroughfare in the predominantly Shiite city. car bombs continue to rip apart Bush's success
This is a great success huh as US military reiterates that Iraq is its number one priority. Democratic lawmakers want the Pentagon to put more troops and resources in Afghanistan. But Gates says that is NATO's responsibility. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff acknowledged Tuesday that the U.S. military's primary focus remained the war in Iraq, not Afghanistan, prompting criticism from Democratic lawmakers who want the Pentagon to devote more attention and resources to the Afghan conflict.
Okay this is growing so I will finis with just titles and links to this rapidly worsening mess! car bomb explodes outside Allawi's home
Palestinian israeli peace talks off to a rough start. I guarantee they served there purpose of division and They are over
Meanwhile Bush is still instigating war with Iran! Now we are being told Twenty-one commanders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps are the top scientists running Iran's secret nuclear weapons program, says the man who exposed Iran's nuclear weapons program in 2002.
On top of that, the U.S. National Intelligence Estimate published last week saying Tehran shut down its weaponization program in 2003 failed to mention that the program restarted in mid-2004, said Alireza Jafarzadeh, an Iranian dissident and president of Strategic Policy Consulting. The scientists working on the alleged civilian nuclear centrifuge program are IGRC commanders, said Jafarzadeh, who was providing a list of names to the press on Tuesday. But their intention is not a nuclear energy source for civilians. IRG runs Iran's nuclear program
** I will stop here but it gets worse. One day in the life of a powerless American! Damn, Bush will not stop his warmongering and attacking Iran will come soon then this world war will really get going. I refuse to believe that after what we learned from the stupidity of listening to Iraqi dissidents we are once again doing it with Iran as they are saying what Bush wants to hear.

Do workers' comp benefits extend to the family of a deceased worker?
UPDATED: August 6, 2012
It's all about you. We want to help you make the right legal decisions.
We strive to help you make confident law decisions. Finding trusted and reliable legal advice should be easy. This doesn't influence our content. Our opinions are our own.
If a worker dies as the result of an injury or on-the-job exposure, death benefits are usually paid to dependents. This typically includes the surviving spouse and any minor children as well. Under certain circumstances, other dependent relatives of the deceased worker can also receive benefit payments. The amount of the dependency benefits is usually determined by the wages in effect at the time of the accident. There is at times a maximum cap on the amount of such benefits.
Beneficiaries of Workers Comp Death Benefits
Dependency benefits are usually paid to the dependents of the deceased worker. The laws of your particular state will determine the definition of "dependent" for workers comp purposes. Your state's laws will also determine the rate at which dependency benefits may be received. However, as a general matter, a spouse and any children living with the decedent at the time of his or her death are in many jurisdictions presumed to be dependents. In cases where the marital relationship has been severed, the presumption of dependency can be altered. Some family members, such as a surviving spouse, may not be considered dependent if s/he was separated from the deceased worker at the time of death.
Spouse and Loss of Consortium
A spouse cannot generally recover for loss of consortium or services through workers' compensation. The reason is that if loss of consortium were available through the legal system, it would in part defeat the legal purpose of the workers compensation insurance system, which is to be the "exclusive remedy" for all such claims. The value of any loss of consortium, if it were held to be valid, would reduce the amount of workers compensation benefits required to be reimbursed by the employer.
Getting Help
If you are the spouse or dependent of a worker who has been injured on the job, or if you just have any further questions about family benefits in the workers compensation system, consider consulting with a qualified workers compensation attorney in your area. Many will provide free or reduced cost initial consultations.

Recovering from Sciatica
Quite often, after treating a patient for back pain, I will be asked either "Can I still do ………?" or "What can I do to improve my back?
My answers vary depending on the nature of the back injury, the severity and acuteness, the activity they want to pursue, and the status of their recovery. However, I believe that being active is the speedier way to recovery for most injured backs.
Things that I tell my patients to avoid when in the acute phase and starting along the road to recovery are any activities that include the following:-
- Lots of impact (Even if that means avoiding walking down steep inclines or stairways). So no to running, mountain biking, racquet sports and martial arts.
- High energy dynamic movements. So no to golf (the twisting when you drive off puts a lot of strain on the lower back) athletics, gymnastics, aerobics, etc.
- Lifting or moving heavy weights/objects or strength activities. So no to weight-lifting or training, shot-putting, gardening, do it yourself, etc.
- Static positions, where the back is held in one position for long periods such as in cycling and motor sports.
As I have previously said, walking is good, so long as you avoid difficult terrain and walking down steep hills or stairways, so plan your route.
You might want to consider aqua aerobics, Tai Chi, yoga or pilates. If you do join a class make sure that the teacher is fully aware of the problem you are recovering from, and the golden rule is if it causes pain don't do it!
I myself do a regular stretching routine and a few strengthening exercises, and I have learnt to avoid certain stretches. For me, certain yoga stretches – the sphinx, the cobra and greeting the dawn – are a definite no, as they can trigger my sciatic pain. But there are other stretches that I find do help. It is a little trial and error because each of us has a slightly different problem. So I suggest that you start with very simple stretches and gentle strengthening exercises, and take up an activity that avoids those listed above. As you get further down the line of recovery ease yourself gently back into the more vigorous activities you enjoy.
Good luck and a speedy recovery to you all.
Regards, Ian

You may not like him. As such, a complex six+ tiered system of grammatical politeness was reduced to a three tier system, with many grammatical forms extant in SSK absent in SNK.. You would think such a task would be easy NOPE. So right now I trying to decide between that path or the "Embedded Electronic System Design" master.
In fact, there probably a lot of room to nitpick
the data, but I only looked at the data to illustrate a point because I still don see what wrong with Benning strategy. A small amount of users actually modmail us to drop feedback. At 4pm every day the whole game is swamped with kids who are round their friends houses, or little brothers borrowing accounts or whatever, and they don't know
what they're doing.
Who behind is stuff like this well crazy like cute little night. And purpose of the meeting is to discuss trade. cheap jerseys They may use large businesses like brokerage firms or casinos that deal in so much money
it's easy for the dirty stuff to blend cheap jerseys in, or they may use small, cash intensive businesses like bars, car washes, strip clubs or check cashing stores.
I only trying to point out that there are much, much better things to have devs work on than new weapons. You will also not have a strong base which will allow for yourself to be knocked off balance by defenders, resulting in a poor shot attempt.

Looking at the interface, The menu bar of Microsoft Office Word 2007 is quite different from that of previous versions. No EU team even made it to semis this year so I guess I was just thinking of any that made it out of groups since it wasn G2 that made it out of groups.
Action scenes should maintain a cheap baskball jerseys steady, exciting pace that builds to a climax. DSM is also test marketing a softer 55 A material for weather seals and gasketing.. Various doctors and scientists have now documented quite successfully,

I just had a friend who got this and she had she. Now that you setter knows you're going to work on varying your hits, you will probably get set more. I don have much appreciation for him trying to have his self pitying characters whine in the most convoluted way possible..
But she won't measure her success her by whether she follows him to the podium.. It goes hand in hand with being the most diverse and tolerant generation yet. There's clearly a female bird I the movie as well. (No osd at all) Skyzones look about perfect.
The reason why this is done is because many harmful diseases and conditions, such as cancer and aids, are cheap jerseys anaerobic, meaning that they can't handle an wholesale football jerseys oxygen rich environment. I spliced into this wiring and pulled off the signal for the cadence sensor (cadence signal) and power meter (Solenoid Coil Current Control Signal).
But on the other hand, if we're able to use this technology without exposing someone's deepest, darkest secrets, while solving these really horrible crimes, I think it's a valid trade off.". The only way to really find out if you have antisocial personality disorder is to sit down, in person, with someone properly equipped to evaluate such things.
They can even agree on which supplements to take to avoid getting popped by USADA when their ability to make money is on the line, even when USADA provides everyone with a list of approved supplements. Since shellfish and plankton provide food for many other creatures and coral reefs offer one of the richest and most biodiverse ocean habitats, this could result in a

Oxalobacterformigenes is the only well-documented oxalate-degrading bacterium isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of animals. The production of ATP by Oxalobacter formigenes is centered around oxalate metabolism and oxalate is required for growth. A small amount of acetate (0.5 mM) is also required. Oxalate is decarboxylated to formate plus CO2 in nearly equimolar amounts. Experiments were conducted to determine which potential carbon sources (oxalate, acetate, formate, CO2) were assimilated by Oxalobacter formigenes and which metabolic pathways were operative in carbon assimilation. Measurements of the specific activities of total cell carbon after growth with different 14C-labeled precursors indicated that at least 54% of the total cell carbon was derived from oxalate and at least 7% was derived from acetate. Carbonate was also assimilated, but formate was not a significant source of cell carbon. Labeling patterns in amino acids from cells grown in [14C]oxalate or 14CO3 were different; however, in both cases 14C was widely distributed into most cellular amino acids. Carbon from [14C]acetate was less widely distributed and detected mainly in those amino acids known to be derived from α-ketoglutarate, oxaloacetate, and pyruvate. Cell-free extracts contained citrate synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, and malate dehydrogenase activities. The labeling observed in amino acids derived from acetate is in agreement with the function of these enzymes in biosynthesis and indicates that the majority of acetate carbon entered into amino acid biosynthesis via well-known pathways.

Executive summary
The aim of this report is to help Mr. Tony Pham invest ethically in Westpac. It provides background to ethical investing and examines Westpac Banking Group in terms of its ethical and financial performance. This report surveys background knowledge about ethical investments and the assessment of profitability of this compared to conventional ones. Moreover, this also examines Westpac in terms of its ethical and financial performance and suggests some recommendation about whether the client should invest in Westpac or not.
The results of the research indicate that ethical investors often consider three main issues for their ethical investments: economic, social and environmental issues. Whether investing ethically is profitable or not is critical, but it may have a negative impact on community, society and the organization in the long-term. Furthermore, Westpac has good corporate social responsibility, such as: good ethical corporate behavior which makes Westpac be one of good choices for a wide range of investors all over the world and respect for the rights of their employees which is demonstrated by generating an inspired working environment. In respect of financial performance, Westpac still keep its position as one of the biggest bank of Australia with the increase in net profit after tax of 84% and in the dividend per share of 20% in 2010 compared to 2009. This report recommends that Mr. Tony Pham should consider ethical investment in Westpac due to strong indicators, such as: sustainable policies with good corporate social responsibility and its strong financial potential.
This report is written for Mr. Tony Pham – a client who has been considered a great deal of corporate social responsibility and ethical investments. The purpose of this report is to help him make a decision on investing in Westpac Banking Group. Westpac has considered as the first and oldest bank in Australia, founded in 1817 and formerly known as the Bank of New South Wales. By 31 March 2010, Westpac has about 37,000 staff members and approximately 550,000 shareholders and around 10 millions customers all over the world now (The Westpac Group 2010). After providing some background information on investing ethically, the report will inspect Westpac regarding its ethical investing, such as its environmental concerns and respect for human rights, and financial aspects, such as its profitability. Finally, the report will make a recommendation as to whether the client should invest in the organization as an ethical investor.
Background information on ethical investments
1.1. What investors consider when investing ethically?
There are some issues considered when investing in an entity ethically, usually known as 'triple bottom line' or 'corporate social responsible' of the entity, which includes economic, social and environmental issues. In other words, this term refers to the companies which know to link its ethical values, transparency and employment relation in accordance with legal requirements and respect for the...

A motorcyclist was injured in a collision which blocked the A2 eastbound carriageway earlier this morning.
The collision, believed to have involved a lorry as well as a motorbike, happened at 6.25am today (February 17) between the M25 Junction 2 and the Bean Interchange for Bluewater.
A Kent Police spokesman said: "Officers attended alongside the South East Coast Ambulance Service.
"The motorcyclist has been taken to a hospital in London. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening."
All four lanes of the carriageway were closed until 7.25am, where two lanes were reopened.
The M25 Junction 2 slip road was also closed while recovery work took place.
By 8am, the scene had been cleared and all four lanes - and the M25 slip road - were reopened.
Traffic conditions have since returned to normal.

Season 2020 has already made a promising start in Magpie land, with club legend Josh Arnold re-signing to take care of what he calls "unfinished business".
The 27-year-old stepped up brilliantly in the Centennial Season in the absence of injured leaders like Brayden Webb, Daniel Joseph and Harrison Gunther, highlighting just how valuable the unfashionable backman is to the club.
Most notable was his ability to fashion a backline, which had an average age of 20 for much of the season, into a formidable unit, and it is the performances of youngsters like Nathan Blowfield, Aaron Brennan and Cam Goodsell that has 'Jezma' enthused about the future.
"Why wouldn't I?" he asked rhetorically when asked why he re-signed so quickly.
"I know what shape the club's in, it's so exciting to see the young blokes who are here and how quickly they are developing.
"Put them alongside our returning senior blokes and everyone should be excited about next season."
After injuries derailed the Centennial Season drive for a premiership, Arnold – who played his 200thgame in 2019 – is even more determined to achieve the ultimate success next year.
"We've definitely got unfinished business, and we've got the players to take care of it," he said.
"This club is like home, I couldn't see myself playing anywhere else, and I want to be a part of it for a few more years yet."

Spurs pick up team contract options on Derrick White, Lonnie Walker
SAN ANTONIO - In a contract housekeeping move, the Spurs announced Wednesday they have exercised their fourth-year team option on Derrick White and their third-year team option on Lonnie Walker.
The moves extend the guards' contracts through the 2020-21 season.
White and Walker are part of a crowded backcourt that also includes DeMar DeRozan, Dejounte Murray, Patty Mills, Bryn Forbes and Marco Belinelli, as well as rookies Keldon Johnson and Quinndary Weatherspoon, who is on a two-way contract.

"It's going to be fun," White said of the competition for minutes. "Just trust what coach (Gregg Popovich) does. He is going to put us in the right situation to help us win games."
White, the 29th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft is coming off a breakout sophomore season in which he averaged 9.9 points, 3.0 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 25.8 minutes over 67 games, with 55 starts.
Walker played sparingly during an injury-plagued rookie season last year, but the 18th overall pick in 2018 delivered some strong outings during Summer League, including averaging 30.0 points per game in Las Vegas.
"Lonnie is going to be big for us," White said. "He had a great summer."
White is set to earn $1.9 million this season and $3.5 million in 2020-2021. Walker is scheduled to collect $2.7 million this season and $2.8 million in 2020-2021.

When it comes to responsible homeownership, the renovations never seem to end. Fortunately, investing the time and money to renovate properly has long-term advantages that increase the property's value. If you are in the market for a serious kitchen remodel, consider the following types of sinks you could have installed.
Sinks will, for the most part, either have single or double bowls/basins. Single basins are definitely the most common, but consider the extra utility of having a second basin. If you are looking for a compromise between the two, there is the option of a double basin with a low divider.
A different type of sink is called a farmhouse sink, or an apron front sink. This sink takes up a large portion of the counter, and reaches outward to the user for ease of access. Usually, this type goes well in kitchens that have a somewhat rustic aesthetic.
There are two types of mounting for kitchen sinks – top and under. The top mount is the most popular and easily installed of the two. You'll notice this type sits slightly above your countertop. The under mount might be more difficult to install, but because it sits below the counter line, it's considered to give up a more modern and sleek visual appeal.
Legacy Granite Countertops is an expert you can trust when it comes to consultation and installation of any type of sink you desire. Their expertise lies in the fabrication and installation of countertops and backsplashes, but they do offer services for sinks of stainless steel, granite composite, and porcelain (mostly for bathrooms). With ten years of experience, Legacy Granite Countertops mostly serves the area of Atlanta, Georgia. Their showroom and fabrication facility, though, is in Alpharetta, Georgia. Contact them for expert and professional services today. If you work it out with them in advance, they are even willing to enter into a financing agreement to make your renovations affordable based on your needs.

Is it just me or have we been blind-sighted by the swift arrival of Christmas and the impending end of 2015? Perhaps I haven't been paying enough attention to time carrying us along on a train to older age, because I've been distracted with despising house shares, commuting in a hell tube, and eavesdropping on strangers' dates. So maybe it's time to take stock of 2015? OK, you've twisted my arm. Let's do this.
This time last year, I was saying a sad but necessary goodbye to my work as a therapist; my optimistic thoughts telling me all I needed was a break, and I would be back to it in no time. But it's been 12 months and I haven't gone back to it. Instead, I've written about my journey towards and away from it elsewhere.
I'll be honest; I had very little hope for this year and for myself, owing in part to my new-found superstition that good things only happened in my life during the even years (1986, 1990, 2000, 2012, 2014 – 1986 was the year of my birth, which obviously, turned out to be a great thing). To that end, 2015 looked like the square peg to the round hole (ditch) that had been my life up until that point.
Yet how wrong I was! Unpredictable change forced me to become flexible, and even dare I say, adaptable. And most importantly, this was the year I took my lifelong hopes of becoming a writer into my own hands.
This year has tested me too, and ended up being the year I finally lost faith in online dating, which I still held a slither of hope about in 2014. Even now I'm half expecting the faith to return, which it hasn't, but a good friend reminded me that considering we're an ageing population due to live to 100, if I can't meet someone in the next 70 years allotted to me, there is something much worse going on with me than just my failed dating prowess. I believe I am not a terrible person, so that bleak reminder brings both hope and bitter reality.
Dating aside, I've found so much success writing wise this year I'm always afraid I'm going to get run over or attacked, just so things are balanced out in the universe. I've been able to get jobs writing for online magazines, allowing me to review my favourite films, books and exhibitions. I've gotten thousands of hits on my blog, started a podcast and even published a book of poetry. Moreover, I finished writing a book that has been rejected by 20 – 30 agents which has somehow taught me more than I could have known about myself before this year, and on the whole, made me a much better writer. Even celebrating my failures shows the leaps and bounds I've made in my mental and emotional development (or demonstrates my final descent into madness, you decide).
I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop so I'm not one to celebrate for longer than half an hour, but I'll openly give myself a pat on the back and shameful pride be damned!
In fact, let's all give ourselves pats on the back for chasing something we wanted this year, big or small, and for not murdering anyone even if the thought has crossed our minds every day since 1st January 2015 – especially if you're a commuter in London. I'm going to high five myself later, in private because you know, British.
This year's been amazing and filled with life lows and epic highs, and in hindsight I wouldn't change it. So here's hoping my superstition about even numbers still holds true in 2016.

The hard work of Liberal Democrat council groups has been recognised at an awards ceremony at their spring party conference in York. Lib Dem Leader and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and the Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group at the LGA, Cllr Gerald Vernon Jackson, presented the awards to the winners at a packed reception.
Cllr Vernon Jackson said: "We have over two and a half thousand Liberal Democrat councillors and they are the trusted face of the party in local communities up and down the country. From installing LED streetlights in Bath to supporting community groups in Kirklees, I am incredibly proud of our Lib Dem councillors and the work they do for their residents. We want to ensure that their achievements are appreciated and valued."
The Liberal Democrat Group on Stockport Council were the overall winners, making sure the council used its borrowing power to invest in schools and town centre development, renew all pavements and roads in the borough – and deliver a plan to save £30 million in the council's budget. A full list is below:
Kirklees Liberal Democrat Group – Community Champions Award
Bath and North East Somerset – Green Liberal Democrat Council Group of the Year
Southwark Liberal Democrat Group – Residents' Champion Award
Hinckley and Bosworth Liberal Democrat Group – Excellence in Town Centre Achievement Award
Peterborough Liberal Democrat Group – Best use of Social Media Award
Cambridge Liberal Democrat Group – Putting Liberal Values into Practice
The Details
Stockport – Liberal Democrat Council Group of the Year
The Lib Dem group running this council – currently via a minority administration – delivered a plan for £30 million of savings and managed to divide the opposition on its response. They have used their borrowing powers to invest in schools – both new and expanding ones – and town centre redevelopment in their most deprived areas. They have £100 million plan to renew all the roads and footpaths in their borough over 8 years.
Bath and North East Somerset – Green Liberal Democrat Council Group of the Year
This Lib Dem council is working hard on environmental issues – installing LED street lighting, extending and improving the cycle network, including a cycle hire scheme for council staff. They have worked hard on the Green Deal and a community energy strategy that tackles fuel poverty. They have invested in local bus services when so many other councils are cutting theirs and are leading the way on re-opening two railway stations. They are expanding a scheme to cut down on lorry deliveries to the centre of Bath. Less than a third of their waste now goes to landfill.
Southwark Liberal Democrat Group – Residents' Champion Award
The Lib Dems on this council have shown that currently being in opposition is no bar to getting things done. They have persuaded the council to ballot staff for an ethical pensions policy which could involve investing in local housing instead of tobacco firms. They have fought for community facilities including better library services and a cinema. They exposed the council's cabinet for running a botched consultation on the naming of a re-development scheme which would put North Korea to shame!
Hinckley and Bosworth Liberal Democrat Group – Excellence in Town Centre Achievement Award
This council was one of the first Lib Dem councils to pay the living wage to its staff and are working on their suppliers too. They have the 9th lowest council tax in the country. They have worked hard on regeneration, bringing in over 5,000 new jobs to the area including town centre regeneration and over a billion pounds of investment. They are working with a motor industry research firm and the International parcel firm DPD to create even more jobs.
Peterborough Liberal Democrat Group – Best use of Social Media Award
While this small and hard working group keep the paper focuses flowing, they know the importance of social media with one member of the group having over 14,000 twitter followers, updating them on his work in the ward and on the council.
Cambridge Liberal Democrat Group – Putting Liberal Values into Practice
Rather than simply backing the opposition in their call to "clear the streets" of homeless people, this group ensured its council works with charities and the police to produce a programme which focuses on rehabilitation and education for rough sleepers and street drinkers. They have also introduced the Living Wage
Kirklees Liberal Democrat Group – Community Champions Award
This group have worked hard to support their local communities and to champion local causes. They have got local people together to raise thousands of pounds for charity in a community running event, bringing together voluntary groups, businesses and public sector bodies.
They have formed a Friends Group to massively improve a local recreation ground, and are working hard on attracting over £150,000 of investment.
They launched a "Walkers are Welcome" accreditation scheme to attract tourists and visitors to an especially beautiful part of their borough, and support, advise and help the local community in furthering this work.
And in the year that we see the country mark the centenary of World Ward 1, we recognise the work Lib Dem council group members past and present have done to support a museum gifted by a local man to the council almost 100 years ago in the memory of two nephews killed in that war. The Labour council said there was no more money for it so local Lib Dem councillors helped to set up a Friends Group to secure almost £200,000 in external funding so parts of the building could be re-opened to visitors and a new war memorial garden established.
