State law prohibits your employer from penalizing you. You cannot be fired, lose pay (except that your employer may reduce your pay by the $35.00 per day you receive for jury duty), lose sick leave, or lose vacation time.
You must give your employer reasonable notice that you have received a jury summons.
Any person summoned must be excused by their employer, upon the juror's request, from any shift work.
Jurors are picked from a combined list of Voter registration and Driver's license. More information is on the Jury Selection page.
Trial length depends on how complex the issues are and how long jurors spend in deliberations. Most trials are completed within a few days to a week. On rare occasions trials can last two weeks or more. The judge knows approximately how long the trial will take and he or she will give you an idea when your group is called for jury selection. Judges are aware that long trials can be difficult.
Let the judge know if it would be a serious hardship for you to serve on a long trial. Please be patient during this process, because a lot of people have similar concerns about time.
Checks are generally mailed out 4 weeks after the last day of that jury panel.
As a juror, you participate in an important public process and fulfill a civic obligation. All persons accused of a crime or involved in a civil dispute have a constitutional right to have a jury decide their cases.
When you serve on a jury, you make important decisions affecting other people's lives as well as your own community.
No, but you will still need to fill out and sign the qualification form so that we can update our files.
If you are a full time student and are not in Douglas County you still need to complete the questionnaire or your parents may do so for you.
You must provide your address at the college you are attending, in the spaces provided for change of address. This does not change your permanent address.
If you attend school in Douglas County, you must still serve. You may request a one time postponement with a maximum of six months time for you to make arrangements to serve.
Postponement of jury duty:
If the report date that you have been assigned creates a serious conflict with your schedule, you may request to have your service postponed by calling 444-4179 or e-mailing the Jury Commission staff.
Prior to the grant of a postponement, the prospective juror must specify a date (must be a Monday or Wednesday) in which the individual can appear for jury service. Postponement dates usually are 3 to 6 months after the original date of service.
Additional requests for postponement beyond the initial request must be approved by the Jury Commissioner or his designee.
- You must be a citizen of the United States
- You must be be 19 years of age or older
- You must be physically and mentally capable
- You must be a resident of the county for which you have been called
If you need certain accommodations such as assistance with a wheelchair, hearing amplification, or special seating, contact your jury office right away.
Let them know what you will need. If they cannot reasonably accommodate you, you may request to be excused from jury service.
If there is inclement weather and you are to serve on jury duty and do not know if you should come in, please call the Clerk of the District Court at 444-7018.
Alternatively, if you are scheduled to be at the County Court, call the County Court Administrator at 444-5428.
The grand jury is different from a trial jury (known as a petit jury). People called for grand jury duty should follow the instructions on the summons.
If inquires need to be made call (402) 444-6219.
You will need to provide a current physician's statement stating the nature of the disability.
If you have a child or an adult under your care, you may ask for a postponement or excuse from jury service. Read your summons carefully or contact your local jury office.
If you are the mother who is breastfeeding a child, you may request a postponement for up to one year by filling out the summons response form.
You do not need to speak perfect English to serve as a juror. The court uses common, everyday language that people can understand. The work done by the courts affects all people, so it is important that all communities be a part of our justice system. No one person has to know everything.
Jurors decide the outcome of a trial as a group, with each member making an important contribution. If you cannot understand English, follow the instructions on the summons or contact the jury office.
If you need assistance, a friend or a family member who speaks English can call for you. However, you may still have to come in person to request a disqualification.
You may obtain a statement at the end of your jury service from the Clerk of the District Court's office located at:
300 Hall of Justice
1701 Farnam Street, 3rd Floor
Omaha , NE 68183
(402) 444-7018
You will still need to answer and sign the qualification form.
Individuals who are 65 years or older can request not to serve, but they must do so at the time their juror form is returned.
Two types of trials have juries: criminal trials and civil trials. Juvenile and family law trials do not have juries.
The following will disqualify you for jury duty:
- You have been convicted of a felony punishable by imprisonment in an adult correctional facility and a conviction has not been set aside or a pardon issued.
- You are a Judge, clerk of a District Court, a sheriff, or a jailer.
- Your spouse has been summoned to the same jury panel that you have been summoned.
- You, or your spouse, are party to a lawsuit pending for a jury panel during the same time you have been summoned for jury serve.
- You no longer reside in Douglas County.
Report to Room 147 of the Hall of Justice no later than 8:30 AM
Selection is random.
If you have already responded to a summons or have served in the past 12 months, contact your local jury office. Explain to the staff person that you have been summoned twice in 12 months.
It is important for you to contact the court to resolve the problem.

5 "Green" tips for a Healthy Home and a Healthy Baby
"Green" is a modern day, catchall word for making the best, healthiest choices for your home and nursery. Deciphering the real meaning of "Green" can be daunting. The truth is, there are some basic, practical "Green" rules of thumb you can follow. Here are a 5 of them:
1. Stay away from harsh chemical fumes during and after your pregnancy - and keep your baby away from them too. House paints, for example, are something you may not think of, but they may contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the toxic fumes that off-gas. Use low or no VOC paints and make sure your home and nursery are well-ventilated.
2. Choose a "Green" crib and nursery furniture. Young America has this category covered in three important ways. First, Young America cribs and nursery furniture are made in the USA, so our products have a much smaller carbon footprint than their imported counterparts. Second, our furniture is GREENGUARD certified to minimize indoor air pollution. Third, we offer furniture that's Built To Grow for longevity and sustainability. Bottom line: Young America nursery furniture is a "Green" choice. It's local, non-toxic, and will not end up in a landfill any time soon.
3. Allow a new crib mattress to air out (off-gas) before your baby sleeps on it. This important step will help release toxic fumes and prevent allergy symptoms ranging from puffy, red, and watery eyes to a runny nose, congestion, coughing, and asthma-like symptoms. Off-gassing can also cause skin irritations like rashes, itchiness, and hives. Choose bedding that has NOT been treated with polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). These chemical fire retardants accumulate in our bodies and have been shown to affect human health adversely.

GREENGUARD certified Young America Crib featured on ABC's Good Morning America
Young America baby cribs from Stanley Furniture are among the safest in the children's furniture market today thanks to our efforts to meet - even exceed - the most rigorous safety standards in the furniture industry, including GREENGUARD Certification. This video clip from a recent ABC's Good Morning America "Furniture Safety Test" highlights the significance of having a pollutant-free indoor environment for a newborn baby and young child - and features a GREENGUARD certified Young America crib.

A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.
September 11, 2002
Albany - The way Americans view firefighters changed in just a few short hours, as hundreds of brave New York men ran into two burning towers. They were no doubt always heroes, but after that day the world started recognizing this heroism.
1,009 miles from the site of what became a grave for hundreds of New York fighters, is the Albany Fire Department. Firefighters watched as their comrades died one year ago.
"I've heard people ask why did the firefighters go into the towers if they thought the buildings would collapse," said firefighter Robert Taylor."That's are job, if we didn't go into a burning building, no one would. And people would die."
As a child, Robert Taylor dreamt of becoming a firemen. But, he didn't realize that his dream would make him a hero.
"You have to be a little crazy to be a firefighter. We go into buildings when others are running out of them," said Taylor. "But we're not heroes, its just our job."
The job changed after September 11th, when terrorism became a real threat. Now, firefighters are trained to handle the unthinkable. But father, husband, and son of a firemen, Clint Nobles, doesn't worry about his safety.
"We're not Superman. We just train for a job and we do that job when we have to," said Nobles.
Firefighters work 24-hours on 48-hours off, so these men and women become a family inside the firehouse. "We know what each other likes to eat and what time they get out of bed. This isn't your usual work relationship," said Nobles.
But, firefighters have another lives. They have families and other jobs, like Nobles who designs and builds patio decks.
They say they're not heroes, firefighting is just their job. It just happens to be a job with amazing rewards and possibly deadly consequences.
There are 159 men and women serving bravely for the Albany Fire Department.

Johnny Depp and Hunter S. Thompson together again at last! The Rum Diary trailer is great!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. As a die hard fan of Terry Gilliam's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and of Johnny Depp's approach at adapting the autobiographical characters of Hunter S. Thompson, I am so ready to see The Rum Diary.
It's been in the can for a while and that has led to some speculation that it isn't very good. Now, we finally see a trailer and I can't say anything about the finished film, but the trailer itself is pretty damned exciting.
I mean, Depp has his Thompson voice on, which automatically makes me partial to the trailer and then the craziness of the bits and pieces we see leads me to think just maybe the film will end up being close to the same crazy fun universe glimpsed in Fear and Loathing.
"Try and look normal!" Alright, I'm in.

by Kammich
...be still, my throbbing cock. err, beating heart. I'm a sucker for a good alcohol-and-drug-fueled-bender-on-the-road movie. I truly doubt this lives up to "Loathing," but fortunately, it doesn't appear to be trying to be that movie. but a be-jeweled turtle and Richard Jenkins in a wig definitely had me chuckling.

Because a Hunter S Thompson can not exist in it any more. There will never be another HST.

A grizzled old man was eating in a truck stop when three Hell's Angels bikers walked in.
by Tigger Tales
The first biker approached the old man, threw his cigarette into the old man's pie, and then took a seat at the counter. Then, a second biker walked over to the old man, spit into his glass of milk, and then took a seat at the counter. Finally, a third biker verbally attacked the old man, knocked his plate of food into his lap, and then took a seat at the counter. Without a word of protest, the old man quietly left the diner. Shortly thereafter, one of the bikers commented to the waitress, 'Not much of a man, is he?" The waitress replied, 'Not much of a truck driver either. He just backed his truck over three motorcycles."

Kemp is not supposed to be a "young HST"
by CRISPIN_GLOVERS_ACID_FLASHBACK
HST wrote "Rum Diary" when he was 22, but the character of Kemp was an older journalist...at the end of the book Kemp and his compatriots talk about being "over the hill"...I was really hoping Depp would play the character as an older Raoul Duke.

FEAR AND LAOTHING IN LAS VEGAS is a great movie and a great adaptation of a great book. It's also one of the funniest movies i ever seen
by AsimovLives
Me and my friends were rolling in our seats with laughter when we first saw it in the theater. It's also on eof the most beautiful hymns of a country's missed oportunity. All countries have that, and with some luck there will be a poet that will put it to posterity. Thompson did it for the 60s in FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS. And so did Gilliam with the movie adaptation. Extremely funny and very moving.

Pirates 4 I'm waiting to judge when it hits redbox, but even saying that means something...one of the most fun films I've ever seen was the original Pirates and to think Redbox would be where the latest sequel ends up for me is just sad...but.. Pirates 3 was lame...too large, too Matrix Revolutions, forgot about fun...plus the crab girl (NOT hot btw, can't believe she's a Bond girl) just creeped me out. Since then I don't think I've liked a single movie he's been in Yes that includes Public Enemies...sure he did a good job but gangster movies that have a wealth of real story and tons of interesting facts that decide "Nah, we'll go our own way" just don't earn my respect...(like killing Frank Nitti via library rooftop) But FINALLY a movie where he can do his comic thing and we can actually laugh, not wonder why he's being funny in a dangerous looking environment (Tourist-why was that nominated for anything??)
Aug. 26, 2011, 7:47 a.m. CST
Oh crap...
by vicmackey1268
eventually I wanted to get to Amber Heard but I felt like my comment was getting too long....again...thank you asimovlives Ever since Never Back Down (underrated imo, was actually a decent Rocky for teens like how Swimfan was Fatal Attraction for teens)...she's been on the Celebrity 5 radar for me...Number one now and forever will be Danielle Fishel, followed by Emma Watson and Miranda Kerr and Jane Seymore.... anywho...ya...Amber Heard looking amazing, as always...(yes even in Zombieland she was smokin)... Oh and Drive Angry was really fun...I've said that a lot on posts recently (Thanks to DRIVE coming out soon, which I'm excited for)...she was hot in that too.

NAh Doesn't work
by doom master
The first film was way more kinetic in its direction, and a shaved headed Depp had crucial chemistry with a bloated Benicio Del Toro that worked. There's no deny this. Granted this is a different story, but this film comes off as modern and by the numbers. Depp sounds and looks tired in his delivery. The elements Do strangely sound like the last Pirates film, which will taint it even further...and god help the soundtrack selections. This looks like "Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations: The Movie" more than it does a Hunter Thompson epic.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
by THE_CHOPPAH
Watched that again recently. The first hour is still really good. But I had forgotten how much it descends into a big-budget A-Team episode by the end...rather dull extended shootouts with clunky editing. I guess that marked the moment where Johnny Depp's destiny lay in movies that were more about comedy than action, for much of the next decade. I was so hopeful when Pirates of the Caribbean came out that it heralded the return of both Depp and Rush as genuinely comedic guys. But it was a false dawn for both.

by flax
Is it a sequel (Depp is older)? Is it a prequel (the book was written first)? Or is the casting of Johnny Depp just an allusion to the previous film without implying a canonical link?

Paul Kemp
by JoseJones
I don't recall his age being mentioned in the book... It is about a specific time in Hunter's life but he revisited the novel at least 20 years after originally writing it. It was not published as is from the 1960 version. I think it has a lot to do with approaching middle age, no?

Name an actor who isn't a whore

It's called the movie BUSINESS, jackoffs. Besides, The guy reads books to children in his Jack Sparrow character. He obviously gets a kick out of playing it. Fucking cum stains on this site will hate on anything.

http://americanmafia.com/Featu re_Articles_285.html If you don't wanna read that whole thing (scroll about halfway down to get to the part about Johnny Depp), the gist is that all signs point to him having a guy named Anthony Fox killed. Fox was his partner in owning the LA nightclub the Viper Room.

The book is GREAT.
by AshMcQ
Don't get why some people don't like it. It's just different than F&L. And btw. I know people in their twenties that look older than Depp in this trailer to be honest.
Aug. 27, 2011, 7:08 a.m. CST
by Bobo_Vision
There's no evidence that Johnny had his co-owner of the Viper Room, Anthony Fox, killed. He just happened to disappear after suing Johnny. <p> Now, having said that, I think it's possible that someone who was friends with Johnny (he has a lot of friends who love him) may have offed Fox and then told Johnny about it afterwards and the favor they had done for him. But it sounds like the Viper Room had a lot of shady characters and drug dealers hanging around there so there are probably a lot of characters who could have done this. <p>

The Viper Room, that's where River Phoenix died of an overdose, right?

Paul Kemp is 31 in RUM DIARY, not early twenties
by CRISPIN_GLOVERS_ACID_FLASHBACK
I just pulled my copy of the book off the shelf because of the people in this talkback saying that the character is in his early 20s. HST was in his early 20s when he wrote the book, but the last chapter establishes that Kemp is "almost thirty-two".
Aug. 27, 2011, 2:25 p.m. CST
Depp cannplay a 32 years old convincingly. The dude seems to never age.

A Symphony in Blue in Madrid
According to TrendLand, Jaime Lacasa is "one of the most stylish men in Madrid." After seeing these photos of his home, we are inclined to agree.
Jaime is an interior stylist and the owner of furniture and menswear boutique Scooter & Jimmy's Scooter, so it comes as no surprise that his living space is this lovely. Our favorite part is the artful juxtaposition of all those different shades of blue, but the floor-to-ceiling window divider and that perfectly battered sofa with the velvet seat are close seconds and thirds.
To see more of Jaime's home, visit TrendLand.

Witty, sexy and fun.
That divider is so classy. I love all the blues... would love to see more photos of this place, and a photo of Jaime...
Barbara E -- if you follow the link-- you will see Jaime. (I'm guessing that's who that chap is).
Oh good lord, that's beautiful! I covet it.
The glass dividers makes the space look even bigger. Most dividers don't.
Amazingly beautiful! And it looks so comfortable.
Well, I'm less 'not a fan of blue' now. Impressive!
I'm in awe!
That is the most magnificent room divider I've ever seen. It doesn't take away from the beautiful architectural details at all, lets in the light, and the curtain can be drawn for privacy. What a beautiful idea!

We were both silent for a long time. It was kind of nice, lying next to her, staring at the ceiling, not thinking about anything in particular.
"Do you ever get tired? Of just having sex." She leaned on my chest. "Have you ever thought about..." She sighed, shaking her head. "Nevermind. It's stupid."
"No, what?" I was curious. Up until now I thought there was a mutual agreement that this was sex, and sex only. It never occurred to me that she might start to have feelings for me.
"You say you love Frank more than anything, but here we are. You never even try and stop me. Do you think maybe that's because you don't love him as much as you think you do?" She paused, her eyes searching mine. "I guess what I'm saying is, have you ever thought about divorce? Not only because of me, but for any other reason."
Her question shocked me. To say I hadn't been expecting it was an understatement. "Marriage isn't easy. It's one of the hardest things I've ever done... So, yeah. I guess there have been times that I've thought about leaving Frank."
"Do you think there is something between us?" Her eyes searched my face expectantly. I had never seen her like this before. At work she was always professional, and after hours, she just wanted sex. This was a new side of her I didn't know existed.
It was kind of nice. I shrugged, taking a long puff. "Maybe."
"Maybe if you didn't have Frank, you mean." She sighed, rolling over and staring at the ceiling. "Sooner or later you're going to have to make a decision. Whether you stay with me or not, it doesn't matter. I can't be someone's mistress for the rest of my life." She shook her head, "I'm at the age where I want to settle down with someone, get married."
I didn't know how to respond. So I stayed quiet. She was right. I couldn't keep going on lying to Frank. It was either him or her. Frank, the man I've loved since I first met him, or Emily, who I barely know. I wasn't going to lie, I did have feelings for Emily. Whether or not it was because of the sex, I had no idea.
It shouldn't be this hard. I married Frank because I loved him. He should always be my first choice.
Suddenly, it felt wrong, lying here in this bed with Emily. This bed where Frank and I shared our first time together, shortly after we were married. This woman was an intruder. It killed me knowing that she was starting to feel things for me. I was going to break her heart. But I knew what I had to do. I needed to say no. We couldn't do this anymore.
And more importantly, I needed to get Frank back. As soon as he was safe and with me again, I knew I needed to tell him everything. He wouldn't take it very well, but I was tired of lying to him. He deserved to know the truth.
I sighed, turning to face her. She looked up at my expectantly. I could see the sadness in her eyes. She knew what was coming. Maybe she'd always known. "Ems, you're right. We can't do this anymore. Frank means everything to me. Everytime we do this, I die a little inside because of what its doing to my marriage. I'm not going to ask you to stay friends, because I understand. But I do wish you'd keep working for me."
She nodded, a sad smile playing at her lips. "I can do that, Gerard. I love working with you."
I was a little surprised at her lack of emotion. "You're not upset?"
She shrugged, standing up. "Yeah, I'm upset. But it's not the first time this has happened to me. You're not my first married man, Gerard. You get used to it after a while."
And without another word, she left the bedroom. It took all my strength not to run after her. I knew this was for the better. I was tired of the lies, the cheating. Frank deserved so much better.
I put out my cigarette before burying my face in my pillows. I could still smell Frank in the sheets, and it just made me miss him even more. More than anything, I wished I knew what happened to him. I needed to know he was okay.
After everything that I've done during our relationship, I needed him to be safe. I needed him to come back to me, so I could tell him about all the bad things. Hopefully he could find it in his heart to forgive me. He was my everything. I would die without him.
And I can't believe I had been stupid enough to cheat in the first place. If I really loved him as much as I said, then I would have never done it. I was disgusted with myself. There was only one thing I could think of to take my mind of everything for a while.
I grabbed a pair of Frank's pajama bottoms from the dresser, and put them on. They were a little short, and a little tight, but I didn't care. I walked into the kitchen and searched the freezer, knowing I wouldn't find what I was looking for.
Frank's father had been an alcoholic, so we never kept anything in the house. I really didn't feel like leaving the house, so I just sat down on the kitchen floor, my back pressed against the fridge. I wrapped my arms around my chest and just let the tears fall.
Frank was missing. I had no idea if he was okay or not. My worst fear was that the police would find him dead somewhere, the victim of a hate crime. A life without Frank was terrifying to imagine. So I prayed that he would be found, safe.
Then to add to the misery, I finally came to terms with what I was doing behind his back. All the lies and the cheating. He was going to kill me, and to be honest, I deserved all of his hate. I was a terrible human being, and he deserved so much better than me.
As soon as we found him, because we would find him, I would tell him everything. All my secrets. He needed to know, deserved to know. I wasn't as perfect as he thought I was.

Burger getting back into it
Former Springbok captain Schalk Burger has stepped up his comeback after enjoying a good run out with his Currie Cup team-mates.
Burger has endured a tough year which saw him spend a spell in the intensive care unit of a Cape Town hospital after contracting meningitis. This together with a run of injuries mean that the flanker has not played since the early stages of last year.
However, having been cleared to resume work in the gym last month, Burger enter into some light training with the Western Province Currie Cup squad this week.
"Schalk is training hard and he is being put through his paces by fitness adviser Stef du Toit. This was the longest session so far and he is really positive about his progress," explained Western Province assistant coach Robbie Fleck.
"He looks on course for a return to the playing field in the second round of the Currie Cup but we are not putting any pressure on Schalk and there is no pressure on us from his side either. We will take it as it comes and hope for the best. Obviously having him involved is a huge boost to WP as he has experience and is so highly respected by all the players."
