IN THE MATTER OF THE WORKER'S COMPENSATION CLAIM OF WILL TORRES, AN EMPLOYEE OF HOME DEPOT USA: WILL TORRES, APPELLANT (PETITIONER),v.STATE OF WYOMING EX REL.WYOMING WORKERS' SAFETY AND COMPENSATION DIVISION, APPELLEE (RESPONDENT).
Appeal from the District Court of Laramie County The Honorable Peter G. Arnold, Judge
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Golden, Justice.
Before KITE, C.J., and GOLDEN, HILL, VOIGT, and BURKE, JJ.
NOTICE: This opinion is subject to formal revision before publication in Pacific Reporter Third. Readers are requested to notify the Clerk of the Supreme Court, Supreme Court Building, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82002, of any typographical or other formal errors so that correction may be made before final publication in the permanent volume.
[¶1] Appellant Will Torres sought worker's compensation benefits relating to an August 2007 back surgery that he claimed was the product of a work-related injury he suffered in December 2006. The Wyoming Workers' Safety and Compensation Division (Division) denied benefits. The Division's denial was upheld by the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) and, later, by the district court. We will also affirm the denial of benefits.
[¶2] Torres presents the following issue for our consideration:
Whether the Office of Administrative Hearing's Decision that Mr. Torres was not entitled to worker[']s compensation benefits for his August 15, 2007[,] surgery and for worker['s] compensation benefits thereafter was arbitrary and capricious and not supported by the standing case law[.]
[¶3] Torres began working for Home Depot in Cheyenne as a supervisor in the area of door and window installation in December 2000. His employment duties included, among other things, lifting and moving heavy merchandise. Since 2004, Torres has submitted three injury reports concerning his back.
[¶4] In July 2004, Torres claimed he injured his low back when he bent over to pick up a coffee cup and something in his back "went pop." On that occasion, Torres sought medical treatment from his family physician, complaining of pain in his low back and buttocks area, pain radiating down his left leg and across the anterior shin, and numbness in both legs to the knees. An MRI performed on Torres' lumbar spine on July 7, 2004, revealed a degenerative back condition. In particular, the MRI showed diffuse disc desiccation, with slightly more marked desiccation and loss of disc height at the L4-L5 level, and disc desiccation and bulging at the L5-S1 level of the spine. In September 2005, Torres claimed to have injured his back while moving a heavy pallet. Torres did not seek medical attention because he deemed the injury to be insignificant.
[¶5] The third reported injury, which is the focus of this appeal, occurred on December 28, 2006. Torres claimed he injured his low back, as well as his right shoulder and wrist, in a slip-and-fall accident in the Home Depot parking lot.*fn1 Torres saw Dr. Cynthia Choy at Healion Emergent Care in Cheyenne, complaining of low back pain and bilateral anterior thigh numbness. An x-ray and MRI taken of Torres' lumbar spine revealed the degenerative disc disease, but showed no evidence of acute injury. The radiologist, Dr. Jason Lindsey, noted mild degenerative changes at the L4-L5 level of the spine, with no significant disc bulge, protrusion, or herniation. At the L5-S1 level, Dr. Lindsey noted mild degenerative change in the right facet joint, but otherwise within normal limits. Dr. Lindsey also noted there was no significant interval change since the 2004 MRI.
[¶6] On January 9, 2007, Torres saw Dr. Vincent J. Ross of Smart Sports Medicine Center with complaints of low back pain and pain radiating down both legs. Dr. Ross generally diagnosed Torres with a lumbar sprain and sacroiliac sprain and recommended Torres undergo physical therapy two to three times per week. Torres participated in some therapy sessions, but the pain in his low back continued. Dr. Ross eventually referred Torres to Dr. Steven J. Beer, a neurosurgeon, for further evaluation.
[¶7] Dr. Beer first saw Torres on February 26, 2007. Torres reported that he had been experiencing severe low back and bilateral buttock pain since falling at work on December 28, 2006, but did not inform Dr. Beer about his previous back injuries and low back pain, or about his 2004 lumbar MRI. Dr. Beer reviewed Torres' 2007 MRI and noted that it showed "multilevel degenerative disease." Dr. Beer initially diagnosed a lumbar sprain and recommended conservative treatment. He referred Torres to Dr. George Girardi at Yellowstone Surgery Center in Cheyenne for epidural steroid injections.
[¶8] On March 9, 2007, Dr. Girardi performed an epidural steroid injection at the L4-L5 level of the spine, which gave Torres temporary relief of his pain. Dr. Girardi's report for that injection noted that he was treating Torres for "[l]ow back pain with bilateral leg pain due to lumbar degenerative disc disease." Torres saw Dr. Girardi again on April 13, 2007, and was administered bilateral L4-L5 interarticular facet joint injections, which also provided only short term relief of ...

A 9-11 Story--Two Goldens Who Survived
As you know there are many heroes and stories of that day. One story in particular that really touches my heart is the story of 2 Golden Retrievers in New York City (not far from Ground Zero) named Hope and Darwin who survived that day. Eric and Nan now live just down the road from us here in Northern Virginia. We became friends when they adopted one of our foster dogs named Abby. I heard from Nan this morning and like so many of us, she wonders how it could be 9 years.
Today I'd like to share Nan's very compelling story with you. You can read the story by clicking here to get to a link that also provides pictures.

Oh my goodness, what a read. I'm crying with the sadness of it all and the strength of their love to get to those dear dogs. Lucky lucky dogs. I'm speechless. Thinking of all the people of USA today and sending love.ReplyDelete
What a truly moving story.
Sept 11, who will ever forget that horrible day. It's these true stories that make us realize how strong you can actually become to overcome the worst.
I'm so glad this was a happy ending.
God Bless them.
Somehow, putting a personal story behind all the images of the Twin Towers collapsing makes it all the more real. I mourn not only for all the people who lost their lives that day but for the animals as well.ReplyDelete
Nan and Eric were indeed lucky that they were able to get back to their home and rescue their beloved Goldens!
I wish them and all the other 'survivors' peace.

That was a gripping story! Thank you for sharing it with us, Kim. So glad everything turned out okay for this family!ReplyDelete
I'm crying. I love them for not giving up and making sure their whole family was safe.ReplyDelete
I remember that day like it was yesterday, and heard the many stories of death and destruction. I know this family and others had a horrific time and I am glad this story had a happy ending. I am crying (what else?) for them all, from joy and sorrow.ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing their story!
I'm so glad they were able to get to their dogs and they were ok.ReplyDelete
Dear Heavens, that made me tear up. I'm always at a loss as to what to say about that day. Words seem too weak for the emotions we all felt.ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for sharing such a moving story. Such a sad day for everyone. S x xReplyDelete
Kim what a amazing and compelling story! I was in tears as I read it because all through that day my sister in Montreal and I in Kansas City were on the phone in shock and as always her main concern, being who she is, was for the animals.ReplyDelete
Although I personally knew no one there that day I had nightmares for many months. In some ways I think all Americans were New Yorkers that day and a part of us always will be.
I am so happy that those precious Goldens were found safe and sound. That is the thought I will hold onto this day.

Dear Kim,ReplyDelete
I'm crying. Not only all Americans were New Yorkers nine years ago but also all French people were.
What a moving story that came, thanks to God, to a good end.
Our friend's daughter was there and she couldn't phone to tell her parents that she was all right. It was a nightmare.

Cannot begin to imagine how difficult it must have been for Eric n Nan to have spent the night wondering about their Goldens.
Please do tell them their babies look so beautiful in those pictures..hugs for them.

What a wonderful story and I am so glad you shared it with us. Nan and Eric were very lucky to be able to reunite with their dogs and I am so happy for all of them!ReplyDelete
I remember the very moment that the attacks started because I was teaching a group of high schoolers in Pensacola, FL, when the news came over the loudspeakers. Event the rowdiest students stopped talking and listened to every word. All of the students were somber for the rest of the day and I felt the same way.
Thank you for sharing.ReplyDelete

I sat over the weekend thinking how I haven't done anything special to remember the day in a way that searches my heart for feelings I felt 9 years ago.(aside from watching a few things on the history channel in the evening.)ReplyDelete

Sanja shares her experience teaching children in the ethnically-mixed area of Brcko District, located in the northern part of Bosnia-Herzegovina.
After three weeks in amazing Rwanda, I continued my adventure going into a Summer Dance Camp in Brčko, which is organized by Firefly, a UK-funded NGO. I was sent there to meet with my Country Director Tanja R.Tarčuki and Assistant Matea Jevrić from RDDC and RINGO to lead a dance camp for one week. The week would conclude with a performance to show what we succeeded to accomplish with these kids and youth.
We had prepared a choreographic piece and a teaching process for the dance classes before I went to Africa. We were prepared and excited to spend our time with these kids and youth sharing our knowledge with them. At first, I knew I would need some time to adjust to this new environment and working schedule. In Africa, we had many hours of dance classes each day and my body was used to that intensity of work.
A smile appeared on my face with the first sight of Tanja and Matea coming in my direction at the bus station. I couldn't believe that I had arrived. I had so much to tell them, to describe and share my new experience and the knowledge that I had gathered each day while working with new enthusiasm and curiosity in Africa.
But now it was time for me to concentrate on new tasks and challenges – those that would become our Brčko book of memories. Lots of different questions kept occupying my mind: like how many kids are we going to have, are they going to be able to learn the choreography, will they like it, and will we succeed to prepare them for a performance.
I tried to keep those worries away from me and stay focused in order to achieve our goals. I met so many new people, locals as well as international volunteers from different countries, but as always, the most memorable part was the kids and youth with whom we spent our days.
We had two groups each day (youth and kids), but for the performance, we decided to keep them dancing together to make our message even stronger. Through our choreography and talking to these amazing youth and kids who are really trying to do something creative and new in their town, we realized how important it is to transfer this message to the audience: "It's not about what you've done; it's about what you are doing now. It's all about where you are going – no matter where you've been. Let's go!"
Our dancers did a great job. They were really interested and focused in their training to learn as much as they could. It's always amazed me how much talent there is in kids and youth, but also how important it is to give them space and knowledge for developing their skills.
Throughout our days in Brčko, I was really proud seeing all these people included in the Firefly summer camp with different activities. I could see all these wonderful and educational things, but I felt like something was missing and I couldn't figure out what. But I got my answer on the last day, the day of the performance. It's difficult to describe what mixed feelings I felt while looking at all the performances the kids had prepared. I can't remember when was the last time that I felt proud like that – not just of our dancers, but of all the participants. They learned so many new things: playing drums, dancing, English, French, and other creative things. But at the same time, I felt so lonely and hurt about what a small number of people from Brčko came to watch the final event. I was thinking about how amazing this event is and that there should be television to record all of it – to share it with people in their homes in all of Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH). With these thoughts, I realized that "the missing thing" is a question: why can't we be proud of our kids, kids from BiH? Why are people from different countries needed to find those talented kids? When are we going to be aware of the wealth that we have here? And give voice to these positive things so worthy of sharing?
Sanja Elezovic is the lead youth dance instructor for RDDC's program in Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina. She was born in Mostar and has a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work.

By Emma Hartley
Hello guys, it's Emma Hartley here and I am back writing for The Chelsea Echo. I had a little break over the summer as I was out in France covering the Women's World Cup and I am currently on work experience at the BBC but I'm now back and ready and raring to go for the new season.
The Premier League is back this weekend and I couldn't be more excited to see 'Frank Lampard's Chelsea' back in action. I'm sure this season will be an emotional roller coaster but I can't wait for it.
Let's start off by talking about our new manager. As a Chelsea fan myself I have seen the fan base really start to come together over these last couple of months leading up to the new season with the appointment of Super Frank. Last season the fan base become quite corrupt and there was a lot of sourness around due to the results and Sarri being in charge this was particularly clear on Twitter. There became a 50-50 split between the fan base. Some fans wanted Sarri to stay and then on the other hand some fans wanted him to leave. The debate quickly come to an end though when Sarri left to Juventus and the minute Super Frank come home nobody was complaining as he is a legend and he means the world to our club.
Everyone is really excited for the new season now Lampard is in charge and everyone seems to be in very high spirts. Lampard has picked the spirit of the team back up because let's be honest there are and have been a few issues there to get us down Eden Hazard one of our best players left and we are unable to make any new signings due to the FA ban however Lamps has seemed to make everything feel kind of ok again. Also, to join Frank we've got some amazing back room staff with Jody Morris and Petr Cech there alongside others so things seem and feel good.
We also had a good pre-season and Frank tried out different formations and different players and we got some fairly decent results just before the season starts so things are looking positive. Also he played a lot of youth players which is really important especially when we have the ban in place so I hope this is just the start of seeing the youth play which I'm sure it will be as they are the future of our club.
Now let's quickly talk about David Luiz. I'm not going to go into too much depth about this because it's a new season and it's all about moving forward but it was announced yesterday that the Brazilian moved to London rivals Arsenal. In my opinion this transfer doesn't sit great and I know a lot of fans are not very happy about it. Some fans are so angry to the extent that apparently they have gone onto Trip Advisor and rated his restaurant badly. Luiz signed a contract for us Blues in May until 2021.
I think what upsets Chelsea fans the most is the fact that he said that his heart was in the club when he signed that and yet he leaves a few months later which has really misled everyone. Also, the timing of it is really bad especially when our season starts on Sunday. Also, not only have us fans being misled it feels like some of the players around him have been misled as well especially the youth. For example Mason Mount seemed to have a good connection with the Brazilian as well as many other players. I think this is something we just need to let go of now. I am thankful for what he did for our club, he is a great player but it's a new season and a new start and we can't have any disruption or upset at the club it's all about focusing on our game against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday that's what matters and is important.
Now let's talk about Sunday. It is finally back and I'm so excited but so nervous you don't get a bigger game to kick start the PL season than Manchester United away on a Sunday afternoon in the middle of August. Everything is to play for and I can't wait to see what happens. It is a huge fixture and there is always a lot of pressure in a game like this and even more so this weekend because it is the first game of this season. We really have to fight and get our season off to a flying start whether that is a draw or a win we can't take anything less than that. We really need to boost our confidence and do it right, a loss would be very hard hitting and we can't let that happen. The meeting between the two sides is always close but we need to try and make a difference. I believe we are the underdogs going into this game. Manchester United have made some good signings in this summer transfer window so it's going to be a challenge but I feel we are ready for it.
I will be at the game on Sunday and I will be vlogging for the Chelsea Echo YouTube channel and my very own YouTube channel Emma CFC TV so make sure to stay tuned for them.
I am so happy to be back guys and I can't wait to keep writing for you all this season. I am going to have my very own segment this season where I will do player ratings for every single game that I can so make sure to look out for them.
Thank you all once again and it's great to be back. If you are going to the game on Sunday make sure to come and say hello if you see me and everyone is welcome on the vlog. See you all there and I look forward to seeing you all over on The Chelsea Echo YouTube channel with the match day vlog from United away which I'm sure will certainly be a dramatic one.

Several Things To Consider Just about Your Inventions
Taking inventions from procedure to reality can develop into difficult. In fact, actually is quite confusing. I've lately been down that path certain times myself, and without using help simple matters grow to become daunting. Twenty years ago I attempted to shift it alone and passed tens of thousands with a prototyping house, a engineer and more. Exterior to of finances, I at the same time faced challenges when making a choice who to talk to, how to patent in addition to the path I will have to take when pursuing this is my inventions.
Thinking of a lot of these subjects, I collected a list pointing to five things in the market to consider about your trusty InventHelp Inventions.
1. Know all of the problems your design will solve
Every invention or possibly great idea aims to solve an important problem. Everyday women recognize problems about a regular reason. Inventors choose toward solve them.
Before pursuing your favorite idea, clearly have an understanding the problem personal invention will solve. Does your admission work? Does your trusty invention need an absolute little help? Could be described as it too complicated? Working with their trusted company that the majority of understands design as engineering helps express problems and provide solutions.
2. Your invention's market
Once you grasp the problem a new idea will resolve begin thinking linked the market all through which you arrival would sell. Happens to be it a your residence product? Maybe it offers an automotive creation? Will it tray alone in their particular own category.
Understanding your invention's market, will make you in every and every step you take into account. You can correct now compare it and other products present in that category and also the companies that may make those products. This will can be of help you later when identifying a lender you'd like to be see license invention.
3. Invention surety
If you actually choose to allow them to disclose that invention ideas with someone, whether it be family, an attorneys or a complete company for you hope to work with, security will ideally always end on one's own mind. A inventor's optimal fear is truly losing their valuable invention opinion to a player else.
The almost any dangerous days or www.reddit.com weeks can possibly be when somebody deal that have an beyond company to help you may with all your invention. Always ensure these items have proper protection precautions with regard to place if you want to protect your organization and your new invention. Commonly do not sign all unless it explicitly status it's for you for the protection.
At Inventionland we save client technology with their confidentiality plan that for each employee have got to sign. Because well many of us make likely our persons sign an Idea Agreement sufficient reason for us. This is each extra layer of a good defense for this invention.
When considering online, people should make sure it's a suitable legitimate organization. Always come across to see if these individuals have established security systems. Some formulation companies are present solely on the Web, lacking inception in the particular community. sending personal invention know-how out, cause sure you know that they can use a new trusted comfy server nor security platform like VeriSign.
4. System sales sample – A huge working advent
I acknowledge that an important product example is imperative to the success for an creation. Without a nice product sample, you isn't truly are able to actually understand often the invention's function, manufacturability and after that you'll have difficulty holding a endeavor conversation.
Building our product example takes good design work, engineering plus prototyping, together of and it can turned into quite expensive on ones own own. Seeing as well, strolling between many of these entities causes confusion very could impair the valuation of your good invention. It truly is much want the mobile game we can played in elementary school with many of our peers. In addition to each other person talking about for you, your invention's message draws lost. Keeping all these necessary procedure together, keeps your mission aligned.
5. Here is how to clair
Often the exact first point on this inventor's mind when they will finish that creation is actually how to patent an idea to patent. Most possibly a a good deal pertinent trouble should be more "When should I eclatant?" or "Am I done inventing?"
There could be a boatload of service providers that push inventors within order to patent their invention technique immediately. Unfortunately, patenting will a painful and time-consuming process where it far furthermore often results in annoyance when being an inventor uncovers they have to change their invention to both equally interest a suitable buyer on the other hand make out manufacturable.
One amongst the great I encourage fellow inventors to prepared a machine sample was to investigate unique areas of that invention that further protect it in just a certain. This also keeps levels of competition and many of those who can seek to knock up your new technology at fresh.

Be Aware of Fake Pharmacy Scams
We do want to offer a word of caution about online counterfeit pharmacies.
There are fake online pharmacies posing as legitimate ones. These pharmacies can send you medicine that is ineffective, fake, or even dangerous to take. They can even steal your identity.
You should be on the lookout when searching for online Canadian pharmacies. Fake online pharmacies typically have the Canadian flag displayed on their website.
The website may also have the Canadian flag colors: red and white. You may also see the signature Canadian maple leaf. They also won't have verifiable contact details displayed.
These websites are not only fake, but they are not based in Canada. They may be based in Eastern Europe or Russia.
Furthermore, fake online pharmacies will not ask you for a prescription to fill the medication. They also don't use licensed pharmacies for orders and do not have licensed pharmacists. These websites won't have secure encryption for your personal information.
Legitimate online pharmacies will request a prescription for your orders. They also use licensed pharmacies and work with licensed pharmacists.
You can rest assured that you will find real online pharmacies through our search tool. All of the pharmacies on our website have undergone a strict verification process. They all request a prescription, have licenses, and have a secure website.
2.) Use a Gabapentin Coupon
Our online search tool makes it easy to find deep discounts on Gabapentin. In addition, our Gabapentin coupon program gets you even more savings.
All you need to do is use our search tool to search for Gabapentin. Next, click on the coupons tab.
You will see a list of coupons associated with each pharmacy. There are coupons that offer free shipping or a discount for you and a friend.
There are other ways you can get a Gabapentin coupon. You can ask your doctor for a coupon. Doctors get coupons from pharmaceutical companies, and yours may be able to provide you with one for your medication.
Another tip is to seek out programs that help pay for medication. In the United States, the AARP helps senior citizens pay for prescriptions. There is also the Extra Help program from the government which helps low-income seniors pay for prescriptions.
3.) Buy Generic Gabapentin
As consumers, we believe that generic is not as good as brand-name. Generic soap won't clean as well as brand-name soap. Generic paper towels aren't as strong as brand-name towels.
However, this doesn't apply to generic and brand-name medication. People might think that they are getting lower quality with generic drugs because they are paying much less. But most of the time, the generic medication form is just as effective as the brand-name medication.
In fact, the cost of generic versus brand name has nothing to do with the effectiveness of the medication. Instead, the cost has a lot to do with business.
The generic form of medicine is usually less expensive than the brand-name because generic manufacturers do not need to repeat costly clinical trials. Moreover, generic manufacturers do not need to spend money on marketing and promoting the drug such as advertisements.
The average price of a generic drug is 80 to 85% less than the brand-name drug — that's just as effective as using a Gabapentin coupon code online!
Many generic companies have the approval to market the same product which results in higher competition and cheaper prices.
Today, 8 out of 10 prescriptions in the United States are for generic medication.
According to the FDA, all generic drugs have to have the same active ingredient, form of dosage, strength, and administration form as the brand-name drug.
The generic manufacturers must also pass the same quality standards for where they manufacture, package, and test their drugs. In fact, many generic medicine companies manufacture at the same locations as brand-name drugs.
Gabapentin is actually the generic form of the drug Neurontin. You can use our compare prices tool to compare the cost of Gabapentin and its other forms.
Consult with your doctor to see if the generic Gabapentin is the right form of medication for you.
4.) Buy a Higher Quantity
If possible, order a higher quantity of Gabapentin. This way, you can buy in bulk and pay for less per pill. If you order a quantity of 100, you will only be paying $0.33 per pill.
In addition, if your doctor prescribes you a 30-day supply of your medication, you can ask for a 90-day supply instead. If there is an option, you can use your mail order prescription service with your health insurance. This service can be a prescription assistance program that helps you pay less for your prescription drugs then pair it with using a Gabapentin coupon and it will compound your savings!
This way, you will be saving money by buying in bulk and you will spend less time throughout the year worrying about refilling your medication.
5.) Buy a Higher Dosage and Split It
Another way to instantly save on your prescription: use a pill splitter to split your Gabapentin medication. The price of a drug does not increase with the dosage amount. If your doctor prescribed you 400mg of Gabapentin per dose, you can get 800mg pills and split them.
Be Careful with Gabapentin Pill Splitting
However, keep in mind that not all pills are okay for splitting. There are some pills that have a hard coating on the outside that you cannot split. If you do split them, they become tougher to swallow and your body may not absorb the medication the same way.
You cannot split capsules that have gel or powder inside. You also shouldn't split pills with an uneven or tiny shape.
There are 3 signs that you can split a pill:
- Approved for splitting by the FDA
- Your doctor or pharmacist has given you the okay
- The pill has a line down the middle so it can be evenly cut
According to the Mayo Clinic, you can split Neurontin tablets with a score down the middle into two pieces. However, you must take the second half at your next dosage. Also, you cannot use that half tablet if it's been split after 28 days.
Before splitting pills, be sure to consult with your doctor and get his or her approval.
6.) Regularly Review Your Insurance Plan
With Gabapentin, there are several different forms on the market including Neurontin and Gralise. It's important to regularly review your health insurance plan, specifically the drug formulary list.
The drug formulary list for your health plan is a list of prescription medication that your health plan prefers. Your health plan may only pay for, or partially pay for, the drugs listed on the drug formulary plan.
If you choose a drug that is not on the plan, then you will end up paying more.
Regularly look over the list because while it's updated every year, it can change throughout the year. Sometimes there may be new drugs available or changes made by the FDA.
By knowing which medication is on your plan's formulary list, you can talk with your doctor and come up with the best medication option that is both effective for your condition and is the least costly.
Additional Tips for Saving Money on Prescription Medication
In addition to the above guide for lowering your prescription Gabapentin costs, we have a few more tips.
You can try directly contacting the prescription drug manufacturer and ask for financial help. They may be able to offer discounts or free prescriptions if you're eligible. This works best for brand-name drugs, not for generic ones.
Another tip, be open with your doctor about your financial situation. You may be hesitant or embarrassed to share personal finance information. However, your doctor may know of a certain program that can help you with your Gabapentin costs.
Your doctor may even be able to give you free samples of your medication. Pharmaceutical companies give doctors free samples of medicine all the time. Another benefit of trying a sample is making sure that your body tolerates the drug.
You can also try searching for an online Gabapentin coupon from popular prescription drug coupon websites or just use ours of course by click on the "Coupons" tab above!

Tattoos are a forever commitment, don't you agree? Although the idea of having needles repeatedly poked into your skin might not sound like everyone's cup of tea, tattoo lovers would strongly argue that there is something rather cathartic about the experience. For many, the everlasting imprint it leaves on their body holds a deeper meaning. Without any doubts, this is one of the biggest decision one could make in life because it marks your skin permanently.
So, a word of advice, folks! Don't ever decide to have a tattoo unless you are sure about it, especially not when you are drunk or else you might also end up on our list someday.
Listed below are 32 photos of people who got tattoos when they were drunk as a skunk and regretted their decision afterward. Scroll on and enjoy peeps!

A WOMAN who fraudulently claimed benefits despite having thousands of pounds in savings was spared jail after a judge heard how her husband and son had been killed in a fire.
Frances Redshaw, aged 59, of Alliance Way, Stoke Heath, Coventry, pleaded guilty to making a false representation for benefit purposes when she appeared at Coventry Crown Court.
Redshaw has been receiving income support since 1993, despite sometimes having upwards of £25,000 in savings. By law, people must declare any savings they have if they are claiming income support, and those who have more than £8,000 are not eligible for help.
Andrew Watson, prosecuting, described how Redshaw had received large sums of money from the sale of a property and compensation following the death of her ex-husband and son in a fire in 1995.
She didn't declare this money and continued to claim benefits.
But James Puzey, in mitigation, said: "I'm not saying that is not dishonest. She should have taken more steps to discover the true position and in effect closed her eyes to the necessity to check these matters with the DSS.
"This is a world away from sophisticated benefit fraud involving ID theft and numerous different claims."
Recorder James Guthrie QC said: "This was other people's money in effect and this would normally lead to a sentence of imprisonment.
"Apart from this dishonesty you have a good character.
"I take into account you have had to endure a considerable amount of tragedy. I don't consider it necessary to impose an immediate prison sentence upon you."
He ordered Redshaw to do 100 hours' community service.

The Cost of Storing Digital Images
Several weeks ago I had the honor of being mentored one-on-one in computer forensics, for a full week by Greg Marshall, EnCE. Greg is not only a world class Computer Forensics practitioner; he is also an investigator's investigator. After doing nothing but eat, drink and sleep investigation for the past 41 years, I believe I'm qualified to judge investigators and for my money, Greg is a Top Gun.
Although I'm still reeling from all of the sophisticated CF techniques Greg taught me, (or more accurately tried to teach me!) my most immediate problem lies in the mundane administrative area of the storage of computer images and cost reduction.
Although I've dealt with all sorts of evidence over the years and have never had a loss or destruction of evidence, Greg has convinced me that when comes to HD images, we are dealing with something so fragile that we are professionally obligated to go above and beyond, in ensuring that computer forensic images is protected for months or even years.
We all know that the textbook solution to storage of evidence of this type, is - redundancy and remote distribution. Those in law enforcement often seize, and get to hold the original HD as evidence, as long as they might need it. That gives them the opportunity of going back to the original HD, should the forensic image be lost, damaged or called into question. In civil practice, it is less often that we can hold a HD as evidence. We often have to use a combination of an implied specter of a court order and gentle persuasion to get the HD image we need. For example, tomorrow, I will go to a lawyer's office and image the HD of a laptop of his client, a former girlfriend of a multi-million dollar embezzler. I will get one shot at the computer and walk away with an external HD containing an image.
Greg will tell you that before he does anything else with that image, he would burn a verified copy on a set of DVDs. In this case, I don't know how big the drive will be, but it is unlikely that it will be more than 40 GB. For the sake of this discussion, I'll assume that that is the case. OK, I have a first generation image on my external HD and a verified copy of that on DVDs. I'm feeling pretty safe. Let's see what that storage will cost me.
I figure that it will take me about 1.5 hours to burn the 8-10 DVDs needed for this 40 GB backup. Our normal billing rate is $75/hour. That means that it will cost me $112 in un-billable time just to make a redundant set of discs. My storage costs are:
Hard Disk space = $40
DVD Media = $4
Labor = $112 to burn DVDs
Total holding costs = $156.00
I don't like it, but I can live with it. I can even pass that $156 cost on to my client.
The problem is that aside from laptops and the like, 40 GB is no longer representative. I recently sent a 60GB HD back to Maxtor under warranty. They replaced it with an 80GB because they no longer had a 60 GB in stock. More to the point, standard stock drives are getting larger and larger. We recently took into evidence a 200GB and a 250GB and have another 250 GB that I will take into evidence next week. Using the same approach as we did previously let's look at the storage costs.
Hard Disk space = $250
DVD Media = $25
Labor = $ 715 labor to burn DVDs
Total holding costs = $990.
As you can see, our costs come to almost $4/GB before we even start an analysis. I am interested in ideas or alternate approaches that would allow us to do the job right and at the same time, cut costs.
Actually im doing a 1st gen. image on a HP NAS, redundant disks and interfaces, then i do a DLT Backup of the image on a fresh DLT …
The source disk or disks are hooked to a live CD linux and transfered through a crossover 5e through 1g ethernet …
Similar… We image to a Network RAID, then archive to tape (AIT). Although tape is sounds oldfashioned, its a tried & tested method of backing up your data. Tape might be the way to go Al, if you are considering keeping those backups for some time. Its a little more costly for the initial outlay (but check eBay - you might pick up a bargain) than for example DVD, but at least you can fit 100's of gigs on one tape in one go, rather than many hours buring to disk, with the risk of a failure every disk in so many.
Andy, hard to beat the cost and linear speed of a DLT!
Thank you Al for the kind words. I think that this board is a good resource due to the richness of experience of it's contributors. Alan contributes greatly to that richness and it has been a pleasure to get to know him.
I agree with Andy that tape backups may be a good option for you Al. I have always been concerned however with the long term viability of the tapes. I have to admit that I don't use tape backup, nor have I ever. I am wary however from the experiences of others that a tape drives heads may shift over time. While backups saved one day, and restored a week later would be fine, it may be a different story when years have passed, and maybe you are using a different drive than the one originally used. Perhaps techology has improved and this issue is no longer a concern. If not it seems a better option than DVD's. DVD's are far from trouble free, but by using good media, and verifying the images I feel pretty good about using it. I don't bill all that time, only a fraction of it. Mainly it's just swapping disks, and can be done on a dedicated machine while working on other things. You need a fast burner, but processor speeds and memory are not that important. I usually burn a disk, put it in my analysis machine for verification and start another one in the burner. I rarely get a bad disk unless I'm tasking the computer with other things as it burns.
Another option, which is currently pretty costly, is a robot system such as those sold by forensic-computers.com. The $5000 unit holds 25 disks, burns, prints labels, and verifies the data.
I have been looking at external storage options myself. I don't need network storage as I'm the only one accessing the images, but am favoring some type of firewire RAID. Not the Lacie units that I know you've had trouble with, but perhaps a unit that could be configured as RAID 5 such as those from Weibtech. If I had a RAID 5 for image storage I wouldn't feel the need to archive right away (although it's probably still a good idea). These units are also somewhat portable, which would allow them to be used in the field for acquiring a large RAID should the need arise.
Hi Greg,
I don't want to veer too off topic here but in terms of backing up an image to lets say multiple CD/ DVD's what is the recommended process off verifying the integrity of the finished product.
Assuming I have a 40gb image (and md5 value associated) that has been backed up to 8 or so DVD's… Do you have to rebuild the image to verify the hash matches the original or are checks done during the copying sufficient?
Verification can be accomplished in a couple of different ways. Nero, and probably some other burning applications, have a verify process built in that can be set to run after each burn. This makes the burn process longer, but requires no action by you. Swap disks every 20 minutes or so as long as everything is going well. I don't use it just because I haven't tested it's reliability very thoroughly.
If you acquire images to the .e01 format then you know that these evidence files have within them crc values for each block of data (default block size is 32k in Encase) as well as an md5 hash value for the entire evidence file. Encase has a verification tool built in that recomputes each of these crc values and compares it with the original. It also recomputes the md5 hash of the evidence file as a whole. If any are different the sector blocks are flagged by Encase. If I put 3 image files on a DVD I can point Encase at all 3 at once and let it run. Takes about 11 minutes to complete and doesn't require me to verify each one seperately.
If you are using some other application without this type function you could compute a hash value of each evidence file and recomputer after burning.
Either way you go verification is a necessity. Errors are too common when burning to optical media.
Thanks for that Greg,
As with a lot who are starting out I am not quite ready for the $$$ of Encase and have been doing much of my work on Winhex and others.
This does however seem like another good feature and as I move along I will surely delve into Guidance's software and add it to my toolkit… I have the demo CD which many have stated gives you an idea of the software but can be a bit frustrating…
Thanks again for the info, it cleared up some of my fogginess on the subject.
femur, we use SAIT (Super AIT) which transfers at 500GB (that's manufacturers GB) at 30MB/s (uncompressed). It has a larger capasity than DLT.
To my knowledge SDLT 600 transfers at 300GB at 36MB/s. Slightly faster but its not got the storage.
I actually don't have much to do with the tape backup we use, as a colleague has taken ownership of archiving, but he tells me that many factors come into play with using tape, such as, where on the network we place the drive?, what software is used? etc.
If you are not storing vast amounts of data (we currently have about 5 Terabytes, with room for 5 more or there abouts), then I agree with Greg, DVD is a realistic option. But be careful of the DC/DVD burning robots, as we've had one for a couple of years, and its been a complete waste of money. It hardly ever worked right.
It wasn't from fernico was it
Hi Mark, its a Cedar Rimage…… I can't remember where we got it from. Some snake oil salesman duped my previous manager into throwing good money away on it 🙂
In researching the storage options, I made contact with Rob Caffey of Chase Laboratories 310-577-1702. He is an expert on tape backup. His equipment and supplies are not cheap, but they could be made to fit into the budget. I found him to be very helpful in spite of the fact, I decided against the tape option. I had previously pretty much given up on DVD which take up too much of my time.
As I analyzed it, my hardware infrastructure set the limitations and was really the deciding factor.
Some of you guys are working with elaborate networks that are set up to image on RAID drives and have servers dedecated to backups. My laboratory consists of one very good and one mediocre desktop, both of which I made myself. In addition to both being licenced for several different CF applications, those machines are also used a variety of investigative tasks, business administration and personal tasks.
My field unit is a middle of the road HP laptop. When not in the field, that unit is part of my "Network" that consists of trying to share a printer and accessing the internet. Probably 90% of my imaging takes place out in the field. Both my Lab units and my field units have drive locks and a variety of adapters. My images are placed on a 300 GB Maxtor external HD in the field and transported back to the office. (We have 10 of those in service.) That is the point at which the backup decision has to be made. If I go the DVD route, my personal time and 50% of my laboratoy is (assuming a 250GB image) tied up for at least 11 hours. To use modern tape technology I would probably have to bring in another computer and enhance my network at a cost of about $10,000.
After considering all the options and risks I have decided to place all of my backup images on to one of those external HDs, take it out of service, tag it, seal-it and put it in my SD box at the bank. My cost will be a minimum of $1/GB depending upon the number and size of the backup images I put on each drive. That cost is being partially offset by a $1/GB storage surcharge I am charging my client.
How long will one of those HDs last if it is stored unpowered in a bank vault? I don't know! In fact, I'm not sure how long I want to store them.
One huge difference in private sector work and Law Enforcement work is the time allowed for acquisitions. I never appreciated how much a luxury it was to be able to start an acquisition, lock up the lab, and come in and find it complete Monday morning. If it hung up somewhere, so what, I could do it again. The benefit being I could take the extra time to compress images. I remember imaging a 120gb drive (which turned out never to have been used) with full compression into less than 1 gb worth of evidence files. Based on this experience I would suppose that one could achieve compression (using Encase) of unused space to 1/100th of its original size. Some of these huge drives we are seeing could be compressed way down since people rarely use all that space (In my experience 40gb of allocated space on a drive is rare). I'm going to put in a feature request with Guidance Software that a "recompression" feature be built in. The image can be acquired in the fastest manner (no compression) then compressed later over night or a weekend for archival.
Another possibility would be to mount the image with one of the utilities out there that can do this and re-acquire the mounted image with full compression. It would be an interesting verification test to see if the hashes would match. I'm not sure how the various mount image applications would cache the necessary writes to the drive and whether that cache would be part of the mounted drive or not. If it is then the new md5 wont match the original. I've got a couple of cases here that I'll try it out on. If anyone's interested I'll post the results.
Hi All,
Winhex backup manager allows for images to be compressed and hashed with an integrity check done when restoring the image to its original size.
The compression will obviously differ depending on the data contained within the image but testing has shown anywhere from 15-85%. I haven't been able to test on many bigger drives but I would think the same results will hold true.
You actually have the option to save as .whx backups with compression and encryption, raw images with no compression or Encase .e01 image files compressed but encryption unavailable.
All splittable at your discression (650mb for example for cd's)..which sort of answers my earlier questions on spanning of images..
Thanks for the above posts as they piqued my interest into the image archival aspect of forensics…which I hadn't much looked into.
I received a quick reply from Guidance stating that "recompression" (they call it re-acquisition) has been possible for some time now. So I guess you learn something every day. It will be my standard practice now.

Episode 2 of Michigan's New Outdoor Experience TV Show Debuts October 9
LANSING, Mich., Oct. 7 /PRNewswire/ — Wild Weekend, Michigan Edition — the perfect antidote for "couch potatoes" looking to kick the habit — roars into week two of its statewide run on Comcast Local this Sunday, October 9, 2005, at 11:00 AM. Wild Weekend is a celebration of Michigan's outdoor activities, and is scheduled to run for 13 weeks.
"The program accurately depicts the fun and exciting activities that Michigan has to offer," says Dave Lorenz, Vice President of Travel Michigan.
The goal of the show is to get families outside all year long to enjoy all the abundance of fantastic activities Michigan has to offer. The activities Wild Weekend explores are intentionally off-the-beaten-path.
Michigan is unique in that it has so much to offer the outdoor enthusiast. Did you know that within a short drive you can go on a weekend dog sledding trip in the Upper Peninsula? Sleep in the snow under the stars, learn how camping in the snow can be as warm as sleeping on a sunny beach, and mush a genuine Iditarod dog team completely on your own. Wild Weekend will show you where and how!
Wild Weekend will show its viewers that Michigan has some of the most extensive and highly rated snowmobile trails in the Midwest. Viewers will find that an awesome sled ride is as close as Gaylord, and for as little as $75, a thrill ride of a lifetime awaits.
Ever wanted to parachute? Wild Weekend will take you to Mt. Pleasant to show you how the Drop Zone specializes in first time jumpers. Viewers will free-fall with the host and see first hand exactly what it would take for them to attempt this themselves.
Byron Goggin, host of Wild Weekend, is a six-time Emmy Award winning writer/producer and photojournalist who has been creating outdoor segments for Fox Sports Net for the past four years. Byron is a native Michigander, growing up in the rural Upper Peninsula where he spent his childhood exploring the lakes, streams and woodlands of Michigan.
Travel Michigan, a division of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, is the State of Michigan's official agency for the promotion of tourism. Travel Michigan markets the state's tourism industry and provides valuable visitor information services.

Parade to remember Battle of Britain heroes
PUBLISHED: 17:03 19 August 2019 | UPDATED: 17:03 19 August 2019
An annual parade will salute the thousands of pilots whose bravery changed the course of the Second World War.
Members of the Dereham and Swaffham branch of the Royal Air Forces Association (RAFA) will march through Dereham to commemorate the Battle of Britain on Sunday, September 15.
They will be joined by squadrons from the Norfolk and Suffolk Wing Air Cadets to celebrate the efforts of the heroes who fought in the historic air campaign of summer 1940.
You may also want to watch:
"This parade is always an important event in our calendar," said Flight Lieutenant Tracey Allan, commanding officer of 1249 (Dereham) squadron.
"We are honoured to join the RAFA again to ensure the Battle of Britain is always remembered by the younger generation."
The parade will march from the Cherry Tree car park at 11.15am - accompanied by Dereham Town Band - ready for an 11.30am service at St Nicholas Church.

This is the text of my ministry message for the September 2019 edition of The Vision, which is the quarterly newsletter of Kaniva & Serviceton Shared Ministry.
How many of you are purveyors of social media I don't know, although I am aware that some of you are attached to Facebook and Twitter because you are connected with me on those platforms. You may then be aware via The News According to Twitface that several high profile Christians are declaring a loss of faith, or perhaps the realisation that there never was faith for them in the first place. Among the several is Marty Sampson, one time lead worshipper at Hillsong Church Sydney and lead singer with the band Hillsong United. A decade and a half ago Marty wrote the words: "I want to live, I want to love you more, I want to be used, Father, in all of the world, may your word be heard, and may it stay on my lips, to live what I speak, until your kingdom come", ("Shine For You" © Hillsong Publishing, 2003). I remember this song fondly, and particularly this bridge as it has been my own prayer for some time, probably since 2004 when I was participating in Hillsong Church London. But for Marty all the shazam of Hillsong has not been enough, and he thinks (and says) that the issues within Christianity have put his faith on shaky ground. Marty has not renounced Christ, but he is expressing the raw honesty of a young man (he's 40) struggling with a Bible which is self-contradicting, and a church which proclaims miracles as reality yet does not see them evident in worship contexts. His central soundbite is "no-one is talking about it", suggesting that in his church experience the issues with Christianity are being ignored, or papered over.
Whether this is a legitimate critique of Hillsong Church or of Pentecostalism in general is not for me to say, but I do think it's a fair point for Christianity in Australia. It is appropriate for us to look into our own church and not just point fingers at the happy-clappies (and jumpy-shouties). Is Kaniva and Serviceton Shared Ministry prepared to engage with going deeper into Christian doctrine: do we acknowledge Marty's concerns and see what he sees? How are we addressing the struggles of believing and trusting a 2000 year old message, a message that includes talking donkeys and massacred enemies as "facts"? How do we answer Marty's question about a God of grace and love who sends the majority of humans to a fiery, eternal Hell simply because they haven't said a certain prayer at some point during their earthly life? Or do we just concentrate our attention on singing "All I need is you Lord", ("All I Need Is You" ©Capitol Christian Music Group, 2005), louder and louder in an effort to shout down the screaming crescendo of doubt until such time as we find we actually do need more from Jesus than a bunch of unquestionable doctrines?
Inside KSSM right now doubt is welcome. (I wanted to say "under my ministry" but I'm not the "above" type of minister; however if you need your senior pastor to say that then he just did, even in brackets.) I do not want anyone drifting away from Christ because of unanswered questions, unaddressed fears, or squashed doubts. Curly questions are welcome in our family: trite answers are not. I think it sad, and more than sad, that Marty heard no-one addressing these concerns in his Christian home, (especially since I lived in that same home for six years and I did hear such conversation), but it would be for me an absolute tragedy if someone looking back at KSSM in 2019 from years in our future were to say the same.
Doubt is not the opposite of faith: doubt is a necessary part of faith, and doubt addressed is what creates trust. Without doubt there is only certainty, and certainty is the condition where learning stops happening and smugness and self-reliance set in. I have no interest in participating in a congregation which is smug and self-reliant, and I will resist with every part of my being the development of such a congregation where I am in leadership. In view of that the invitation stands: talk to me, ask me, bring The Spanish Inquisition if you must (so long as they bring coffee with them…), but do not be afraid or ashamed of your doubt or your questions. As your pastor I am primarily the one who is responsible for your spiritual care and your spiritual health, I am here to teach you and to love you: I hope you feel safe enough in my care to talk to me first before you walk out the door and leave church and/or faith behind.
My front door is always open so that the church's back door is kept closed. Please stay.

…I tire of reading my own moody drivel. Thus my lack of posts of late. I have a few half written in the throws of feeling stressed and awful but ultimately I felt like finishing them off was me dwelling on it and decided to just leave them be.
Hopefully as the weather warms up the depression will lift a little. I'm feeling morose and empty (bar the few outbursts when I'm over tired), I'm avoiding going to bed at night and instead falling asleep on the lounge, my weight continues to climb, I'm isolating myself and avoiding communicating with anyone (family back home, the kids, my hubby), when I do sleep I can't get enough of it and don't feel refreshed even after 12 hours or more, things I normally enjoy (cooking, baking, reading) hold no interest, feel like a chore and aren't enjoyable even when I force myself to do them. I'm ridiculously negative and pessimistic about everything, it's enough to drive anyone around me insane and honestly if I were them I'd steer clear of my misery guts at all costs. I've been here many times before.
Our year in the West Midlands was an aberration for me, an entire year free of depression. Oh how I miss living in the heart of England; driving down those country roads, overtaking tractors and horses on the way to school or the shops. I miss the small close-knit school the boys attended, it wasn't perfect but it was personal and the boys had weekly lessons spent stomping through the forest in muddied boots keeping an eye and ear out for wildlife. Every teacher knew every child's name in the school and as much as I don't like talking to random people it was nice getting a smile and nod from teachers and parents. Londoners don't make eye contact with others. You can walk past the same people (oh and I do) every day of the year and never say a word to each other. It's okay to smile at someone's dog, but not them…its just not the thing to do.
London is beautiful, steeped in history but there's no where you can wander off and be alone. Note the irony: the loneliness from lack of human contact mashed together with total lack of time all alone. Last year I loved walking through farmland (public footpaths/rights of way) with the kids. In summer we stumbled through paddocks of overgrown weeds in the pouring rain finding ourselves all of a sudden surrounded by stinging nettle and other itchy/stinging plants almost as tall as me and having to navigate our way through or around it without being covered head to toe in the itchies. In autumn the fields were mostly bare and we'd try and spot the rabbit holes as we walked by the rows of trees in shades of red, gold and brown. In winter all the streams were icey, the grass was crunchy and frozen under foot and when we were lucky enough to have snow I loved crunching through it trying to recall our previous paths now covered in sheets of white as far as the eye could see.
Maybe its the change of area or maybe its just the sparkle of moving overseas has worn off and life feels like life rather than a holiday. The season changes are familiar now and London is just gloomy and cold for the most part, winter didn't bring a lot of snow (a few days worth) and grey is nature's colour of choice for sure.
The long winter has probably sparked an influx of articles from all the health/dieting newsletters I'm subscribed to and my inbox has seen a few articles on signs of depression to look out for and the importance of being proactive when symptoms pop up. For me years of suffering with depression has taught me that: a) stock standard anti-depressants did nothing but make me feel even emptier (but without the outbursts) and even the best of GP's can't offer much more than that and b) sometimes ignoring it and moving on is the best plan of attack.
So, cheer up and keep kicking! is my mantra for the time being.
On a side note, Mstr. 9 is on his first school camp. It's a milestone, his first time staying away from home that isn't a family members house. He's been excited for weeks but was a little nervous yesterday morning before he left. I'm sure he's well and truly settled in by now and won't want to leave at the end of the week!

ORLANDO (CBSDFW/AP) – Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings says the five people who died after a workplace shooting at a business near Orlando were shot in several locations in the building.
The shooting occurred around 8:00 a.m. Monday morning in an industrial area of Orlando.
Demings says the people who came to work at the awing manufacturing company "were going about their business" when the shooter started firing.
He says about 12 people were at the company and seven people survived. He says no survivors were shot or hurt.
The gunman, described as a 45-year-old disgruntled former worker, also shot and killed himself.
Several roads in Orlando were closed as deputies responded to the shooting.

At Brian-Kyles, our mindset is to "Be Distinctive" in each service and for each client. From the landscapes we design and install to those that we manage. During the winter months, we have even more of an opportunity to "Be Distinctive" given the great challenges associated with snow and ice management. It is during this time of year that true value is revealed. So how is our snow and ice management services distinctive, or different, from the competitors in a crowded marketplace? There are many to be sure, but a convenient starting point is the end result: Quality. The process and culture of Quality Control makes Brian-Kyles distinctive.
Starting with the end in mind, Brian-Kyles has built a process to ensure the highest Quality Control standards are met or exceeded during winter operations. To fully understand this process, it is important to peer back the curtain and go behind the scenes of a snow and ice management firm. Most clients and the general public have a firehouse mentality about snow and ice management operations: resources sit around and wait for the snow to fly, hustle to do the job, then return to catch some much needed sleep. In actuality, there are many activities that take place before, during and after each event. These steps involve a range of resources that stretch across a multitude of team members. Most firms file Quality Control activities in the "after" category, which is of course logical. This is usually the time in which the Quality Control process starts. In contrast; however; at Brian-Kyles this is when Quality Control revs up into full gear. In other words, the Quality Control gears are already churning.
In it of themselves, Quality Control measures are not necessarily earth breaking. The main industry association, the Accredited Snow Contractors Association (ASCA), has issued national standards that outline several post-event standards. Reputable firms will adhere to these standards, but many do not. That is a starting point for distinction. But being distinctive goes beyond ASCA guidelines requiring "snow and ice management companies should revisit properties within 24 to 48 hours for a quality check." It is here where the Quality Control process at Brian-Kyles goes above and beyond.
Before a winter event (read: storm) even begins, the entire team meets to practice, train and study like a sports team would for a big game. This process involves everyone, not a select few. This is the first layer of Quality Control, where everything is discussed from matters of strategy to tactics. During the event when the operations are in full swing, Route Supervisors of Brian-Kyles visit each site to ensure site and firm specific quality measures are enacted and in motion. Using customized maps and work orders for each property, Route Supervisors know each property as intimately as imaginable. This visit is then followed by an audit conducted by a Regional Supervisor toward the tail end of an event. The main purpose of this step is to move Quality Control from the enacted state to the ensured. But it does not stop here. Then it is the Account Manager's turn after the event, as the final Quality Control layer kicks into gear. At this point a complete stewardship audit is conducted and forwarded to the client. The process repeats with the entire team huddling back together for a review of what worked, what did not, and what measures can be improved. Thus, the Quality Control gear also never stops turning.
And here lies the final, equally important piece: a Quality Control culture. Brian-Kyles is consistently looking to improve, from the greenest team member to the President himself. The culture of distinction and stewardship defines the entire team. Back slapping and high fives are substituted for service orders and more training. In essence, there is always something to improve. The weather and Mother Nature will always prevail to some extent due to the element of unpredictability. So there is never perfection. There is never a resounding win. This just means, like everything with winter operations, that there is great opportunity. In this case, opportunity to improve.
The end result of this process and culture of Quality Control is distinction. Quality Control is not a task, it is a habit. It is not an after-thought or a token objective that is completed after the job is done. At Brian-Kyles, it is blocking and tackling that is performed at every level, at every step in the process, and then repeated. It is a mindset that is always on. It is "Being Distinctive."
