Serving good old-fashioned tough love reviews of books (mostly romance novels), movies and music since 1999.
Gossamer Wing by Delphine Dryden
Gossamer Wing: amateur romance novel hour. The heroine is not even close to being the capable spy she is said to be, and it's downhill from there.
MKTO by MKTO
How cute, it's LFO. Wait, these guys are called MKTO instead. Let's hope they last longer than those fair-weather beach bums.
One of a Kind by Michelle Monkou
There are two interesting characters here that don't play exactly by the rules, but One of a Kind is set back by some tepid and bland narrative.
Daring Miss Danvers by Vivienne Lorret
Fake engagement is a staple of the genre, but it still needs to make sense. And Vivienne Lorret's Daring Miss Danvers makes no sense at all, so… fail?
Spirits Abroad by Zen Cho
Spirits Abroad by Zen Cho manages to be funny, touching, and sometimes scary pretty effortlessly. If you must read a Fixi Novo book, read this one.
Winning Miss Wakefield by Vivienne Lorret
Winning Miss Wakefield has a plot that shouldn't work, but the author pulls it off well. Too bad the plot requires the heroine to be clueless.
The Maze Runner (2014)
The Maze Runner could have been the most gory and scary dystopian teen flick to hit the screen, but it ends up being the most limpid one to date.
Saved by the Viking Warrior by Michelle Styles
Saved by the Viking Warrior is like a Medieval Fair that only gets good during its last legs. It has some solid moments, but it's also utterly artificial.
Lord Havelock's List by Annie Burrows
A socially awkward hunk and a pragmatic heroine stuck in a practical marriage. Cute. Lord Havelock's List by Annie Burrows is a such an unexpected fun read.
The Pickle Queen by Deborah Smith
Deborah Smith can always be counted on to write whimsical and sometimes, literally, magical love stories, but there's something missing in The Pickle Queen.

At some point, you're just going to have to say
"this is my body, and it is the right body for me."
your body might be the underscore of self-destruction
with scars and stitches and broken skin and long nights
etched into your palms and in the bags under your eyes
but you are not an embarrassment and you are not
weak and you are not a failure, you are human and
capable of crumbling
so show off those wolf teeth and say
"this is my body, and I am surviving"
your body might be sharp angles or soft curves or
somewhere in between and every time
you take a picture of yourself, i hope some part of you says
"goddamn but do i look good today" because even if
ten hundred people call you ugly
if you're happy, they have no power over you
because weight and worth have no correlation
so if someone comments on what you're eating,
keep eating anyway and tell them
"this is my body, and it's my place to say. i can change things
about it, but during this journey i still love all the things
i see along the way."
your body might come with equipment you don't want to use
or you don't think really belongs to you and
you'd like to change and i want you to know
that's perfectly okay because you were
never a mistake and i love you however you
were made and if someone tries to remove the choice
of how you express yourself, you show them
your hands all full of potential and say
"this is my body and if i choose to knock it all down
or rebuild or just change the color of the paint:
not a single drop is any of your business anyway."
your body might come with injuries or illnesses
that make people walk on eggshells around you
as if you were made of glass but they probably
don't know that cancer scars never stopped my mother
from making excellent desserts or how my brother's
disabilities never stopped him from achieving
and now he's making prosthetic limbs for children
because your definition does not start or end with
what you've struggled through
and i hope if someone tries to hold you back
you show them
"this is my body and just because it doesn't work like yours doesn't mean i can't love it"
your body might come in any color of the spectrum
and you might carry the weight of heavy silences and
clenched fists but any person that tries to justify cruel behavior
with the idea that skin and equality should somehow
be interlinked - you already know but they're wrong
and they always have been and i cannot believe
it is 2014 and i'm still having to explain this
so if someone so much as hints that they think
they can determine anything based on race
don't say anything just punch them directly in the face
but then when you've laid them out and are
shaking out your fist maybe toss over one shoulder
"this is my body and it's excellent"
because at some point you're gonna
fall in love with all of this
like how my ribs are supersized and i've got
fat on my hips and my tummy has rolls and
my thighs like to kiss and maybe it's not perfect
because my hips still crack and i messed up my back but
this is my body and
it might not be right for everyone
but it's what's right for me
and it took me a long long time
to realize this and i think it's because
other people look at me and say
"this is your body and i would like it to change"
this is my body
and it's just fine this way.

Through the Wolf's Eyes
Extensive archive illuminates vision of hunter-turned-conservationist
Ernest Thompson Seton spent his life making people aware of their impact on nature and introducing youth to the outdoors. He was an artist, woodsman and mentor who wrote more than 50 books. He confounded the worldwide Boy Scouts movement. And he was once an avid hunter who was changed into a conservationist by a spiritual experience he had in New Mexico. The Academy for the Love of Learning, based outside Santa Fe, is about to open its permanent Seton Gallery.

Characteristics, Employment, and Sources of Support Among Working-Age SSI and DI Beneficiaries
AbstractHelping people with disabilities find and keep jobs is a key component to reducing dependency on Social Security disability benefits. The Ticket to Work program aims to do that by offering people with disabilities greater choice in service providers and access to more employment options. The latest report from Mathematica's Ticket to Work program evaluation presents results from the National Beneficiary Survey, administered each year from 2004 through 2006. The findings indicate that many beneficiaries of Social Security disability insurance were working and engaging in work-preparation activities, and many more saw themselves working in the future. However, a host of common experiences among beneficiaries stood between them and employment including poor health, inaccessible workplaces, low levels of education that may limit their employment opportunities, and fear of jeopardizing their benefits by earning above the Substantial Gainful Activity limit. The Ticket to Work program has the potential to address some of these issues by providing greater economic incentives for employment and reducing the varied employment-related obstacles many beneficiaries face.

Through Kindness You Can Live Forever
A little backstory: My jiddoo (grandfather) trucked produce for years. This was the age when the mob ran the docks and the teamsters ran the trucking. He was a naturally sociable and boisterous guy, being an Arab and an athlete. He had that Lebanese attitude of "If I'm kind to everyone, and charming, they'll learn to love me, as they should."
More current but still in the past: He always wore a lot of rings, and he'd clack them on the table as young I and my young cousins watched, mesmerized. I never knew where those rings came from but I was always fixated on one flawless ruby ring that caught the light with every tumble and never scuffed even as my brutish Jid would catch his hand in a door or slip the knife as he was cutting the raw lamb.
Back to the backstory: My Jiddoo befriended the dockworkers and developed ties with the Buffalino family. I'd also heard that they were just friends, and once they Buffs offered to break a kid's arms for stealing my Jid's coin collection. My Jid refused and just asked for the kid's parents' number.
Fast forward to last Christmas: My uncle Bill, out of nowhere, asked if I knew where my Jid got the old ring. I knew immediately that he meant the ruby and admitted that Jid had never told me. Uncle Bill informed me that that ring was a gift to Buffalino enforcers. My dear, sweet, but still incredibly intimidating Jiddoo had been an enforcer and was part of a select clique that owned those rings. My father stepped in and said something along the lines of "You really weren't supposed to know that," as he glared at Bill. "Your Jid did those things so we, and you, would never have to."
Back to the old days: Jid, through his connections, ended up working his way through the seas of other truckers and buyers, and befriended the mobsters that ran the docks. He got to go in first because of this, and he carried a corer that acted as both a fruit tester and a weapon. He got to go in before the biddings and test every lot, every fruit if need be, so he'd know what to bid on and what to pass on. He became a Getter, a guy who could always pull through with the best material.
Jump forward a bit and skip some interesting bits that I can't recall fully so I won't recount, my Jid ended up opening his own produce store. This was a dream for a Lebanese man with little to no education except in the art of deal-making. So, to set the stage, my Jid is now running his own produce store and life is still very meager, but good.
My Jiddoo was a man with 5 kids and a wife who couldn't work because someone had to raise them. A produce store in a small Lebanese neighborhood was not a cash cow, but he made due in his own way. He couldn't afford dentistry or doctor appointments for his children. He couldn't give them TV or Christmas gifts, but he offered two things: a train set around the holidays, and a steak every Friday night. He'd just bring some prime cuts home from the store each Friday and make my father and aunts and uncles feel wealthy for a night.
Around this time, there was a jewelry store that opened in a rougher part of town. The man who owned it was strong and motivated but he had a very hard time making ends meet, as most businesses do at their genesis. The man had kids and a wife, also a homemaker like my grandma, and was doing all he could to feed them.
My Jiddoo knew this man. Not his wife or his kids, but him. And every Friday, as my Jid grabbed the best cuts for the kids, he'd bring some of those hunks of meat to the jeweler. He'd say, "Hey (we'll call the jeweler Tom) Tom, care to sample the new cuts?" Tom and my Jid both knew that this was charity, but Tom was too gracious and my Jid too stubborn to admit it. So this continued for ages. Every Friday, week in and week out, Tom had steaks for his kids and my Jid never wanted anything in return. He had Americanized as best he could, but he still had that Lebanese urge to accommodate anyone and everyone that he could. (An aside: if you show up at a house in the more traditional Lebanese villages even today and ask for a meal, they'll generally give it to you and offer you a bed for the night. It's a lovely tradition of hospitality and empathy.) Tom always told my Jid that if he ever needed anything, he knew where to call, but my Jid wasn't into asking favors. An old habit from his mob days.
So fast forward to the 80s, when my father is getting ready to propose to my mother. My father, Ed (oldest son and namesake of my Jiddoo, who had a very Arab name but the Americanized version was basically Eddie) is shopping for a ring. He brings my Aunt Maureen along for advice. She's a very gabby, talkative woman but my stoic father forgives that for her stylistic touch in these matters. My father goes to a jewelry store in Berwick. It's the same one that, when it was floundering, my Jiddoo patronized and supplied with steaks. As my father is browsing, the managers, children of the late man my Jiddoo knew, ask my dad's name. He says his first but catches himself before saying the last. My Jid always said "I was kind to those folks to be kind. Don't ever drop our name for a favor." My gabby aunt Maureen jumps in and tells them his last name. The managers light up and say he has to take a discount, he must, after all my Jid had done for them. My father begrudgingly agrees.
My Jid only knew the old man who'd been long dead before my father visited that store. He'd never met the kids, never met the wife. That old man had been so appreciative of my Jid's meager gestures that he internalized that beautiful kindness and craved a chance to pay it forward. So much so, he'd told his kids the story and hoped they'd feel the same way. My dad had never met any of those people, and they'd never met him, and yet they did all they could to repay him for the kindness of his father. And now my old man tells me, if I ever get married, I should go to that store. They deserve the business.
This is a very long and roundabout way of saying something that I hinted at in the title. If you do good, that good will live on. You won't always see where it's paid forward, but in this case we did, and that's why I used it as an example. We're all energy, and the kindnesses we do are energetic extensions of ourselves. Every kindness you do is an admission that you are better than no one. Everything you can give, you should give. Ideally, you should give because it's the right thing to do, but I understand that not everyone sees it that way. But we all crave immortality deep down, and doing good will let you live forever. We're a blink, but our memories can be at least a nap. Allow yourself, and your memory, to live on through the kindness that those around you remember. There's nothing to lose, and immortality to gain.

Montana has one of the top education systems in the nation. The programs that promote graduation and excellence have worked well and a number of groups were honored today.
"It's producing fantastic results. We've raised our graduation rates. We've lowered our dropout rates. That means more students are ready to transition to the Montana University System and today was just a celebration of that," said Denise Juneau, State Superintendent of Public Instruction.
The governor and A-C-T presented awards to Great Falls College-MSU and Bozeman High School for their work in making students ready for a career or higher education. The leaders of those schools? Definitely excited.
"Yeah, it's an exciting award for us. I do feel like it's been a community effort for our schools and our community. We've worked for a lot of years on making sure students are college and career ready," said Rob Watson, Superintendent of Bozeman Public Schools.
"It's overwhelming. I'm having a hard time coming up with the words to describe what this means. It speaks to the partnerships we have built with the local school districts, our regional school districts, to make a different in their lives and ultimately, make a difference in our community," said Susan Wolff, CEO Dean of Great Falls College - MSU.
Even better, the governor knows that Montanans aren't content with staying put. There's always a drive to move forward.
"The good thing is we are a state which we won't rest on past accomplishments and you see innovation going on here in high schools in Great Falls, you see it at the colleges, throughout our universities, always focused on the best interests of these kids and how we do that much better," said Governor Steve Bullock.
This isn't just a present accomplishment, either. It's also for the future.
"I spend time weekly talking with CEO's about moving to Montana and expanding. Their first questions are either what's your educational system look like or will I have a workforce. Overall, what we can do in education is going to be the foundation for the jobs we can create here and the opportunities we can have not only for the next generation, but today," said Governor Bullock.

MP3s for pennies? Russian cops say no | CNET News.com
In the "Oops, blogged too soon department ..." In my daily dump below, I promised to dig a little deeper into allofmp3.com's copyright status. Looks like the Russian music seller is in the deep doo-doo with the IP cops. From CNET:
"A Russian digital-music site offering high-quality song downloads for just pennies apiece is the target of a criminal copyright investigation by the local police, recording industry groups said Tuesday.
"AllofMP3.com has been operating for several years, asking consumers to pay just 2 cents per megabyte of downloads--usually between 4 cents and 10 cents per song. Alongside the catalogue available at traditional stores like Apple Computer's iTunes, the site offered access to songs from the Beatles and other groups that haven't yet authorized digital distribution."

I see French People
"I'm color-blind ... I don't see French people. I just see smart people who are creating value and innovation."
What has the global economy come to? Full page ads in the NYT (c-20) touting the benefits of doing business in France? I thought the era of despising the French as a pack of concessionary socialists went out with "freedom-fries" and the vitriol of the barking heads at Fox News. But no. Now Ed Zander, CEO of Motorola, is proclaiming he's color-blind to the Frenchness of the French. So what if its employment-for-life in the United States of Europe? As Ed tells us: "Great food, great wine!"
WordPress 1.5
This is like a newspaper publisher telling the readers that he's just bought a new press. Big whoop. How about a writer upgrade? The power of upgrades compells me to disprove the famous "Wordpress 5-minute install" and trash my blog later today in the interests of being current. I get twitchy if I'm not running in the beta-zone. Time to roll out mysqladmin.php and get gnarly with the CSS templates.
Time to Retire "Twisted"
A piece in the Times looks at Aspen and its richification over the years despite Hunter Thompson's efforts to beat back the greed-heads with the Freak Power Party. The piece ends with a very good suggestion by an Aspen writer who says he checks himself everytime he types the word "twisted" and remembers that's a Dr. Thompson word and should be retired into the rafters like Bobby Orr's Number 4. Here. Here. Time to create the HST Archive of Language and relegate "Fear and Loathing", "Greedhead", "Twisted" etc. to the ceiling.
A Blog Post I Wish I had Time to Report
Tip of the hat to B. Lipman who introduced me to allofmp3.com, a Russian paid-music service that lets you PayPal in balance and then download CD quality music (the usual western music, not Cossack dance tunes) for pennies per song. With iTunes and others essentially pricing a song at a buck, what's with allofmp3.com getting away with full CDs for $2.00 and songs for $0.14? Ah, it seems Russian copyright law is a very interesting thing. I shall explore and expiate. Love to see the RIAA go gunning to shutdown a Russian music service and find itself in the court system of one of the world's greatest kleptocracies.
Highbeam vs. Factiva ...
I emailed a detailed description of my online research habits to customer service at Factiva last week but haven't received a reply. They claim I'm unfairly comparing Highbeam's all-you-can search model with their "Individual"-$2.95 per article rate. I'll give them another few days then post my pricing and feature analysis before declaring this tempest dead.

Former Derry town administrator guilty of indecent exposure
The conviction is a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in county jail. Anderson will be sentenced Sept. 12 in 10th Circuit Court, Derry Division.
The salesman testified he went to Anderson's home last July 11 to sell television services. He said he walked into the home and averted his eyes once he saw that Anderson was naked, according to prosecutors.
Sadler said in her court order that she did not find Anderson's testimony plausible, but that she did believe the victim in the case.

Look! Nutella and Banana Ice Cream
Everyday Musings
Remember our recipe for one ingredient ice cream? Quick, easy, and healthy, it's the hands down easiest dessert to make. Check out this take on the recipe using Nutella — it has a few additions and looks even more delicious!
Olivia Rae over at Everyday Musings created this delicious-looking take on the classic frozen banana ice cream recipe. Pop a few bananas in the freezer now, pick up a jar of Nutella, and you'll have a sweet treat ready by the time the temperature soars today!

They mention this on the original website too, but this isn't dairy free since Nutella has milk in it's own ingredients.
Please change the post heading and remove the "dairy-free". Thanks!
My thoughts too... Nutella isn't dairy-free!!!!!
That looks so tasty! I want to make it right now, but my food processor is so little it will only make 1 serving!
You're giving me ideas....how about a banana & almond butter batch? Num num.
I make something a little like this sometimes. I essentially make a smoothie - frozen banana, Nutella, a bit of Ghiradelli sweetened cocoa, plain yogurt, and milk, all pureed in my food processor. Then I put it in the freezer, check it every 10 min or so and stir it, until it hits the ice-creamy consistency I want. It's my "I need chocolate but I want to be semi-healthy about it" dessert. I don't really know if it qualifies as healthy with the Nutella and the cocoa, but I can at least pretend. Sometimes I grind up some hazelnuts first, adding an interesting (weird?) texture to it.

1985 ram d150 royal se prospector questions - Posted: 02-10-2011, 09:50 AM
Post #1
i'm recently a proud owner of a 85 ram, with a 2 brl 318. i paid $925 for it from a pawn shop. only major problems i have are it smokes on start up, has oil leak { i'm thinking timing cover ** i've replaced the shocks, tires, passanger side fender, tune up, oil change. i'm just using spay paint to paint it. anyway, i still have a few questions to ask if someone can help.
1. the passanger side door will not stay completly closed unless you slam it. i've tried shims, ajusting stricker, ???
2. fan for heater barely blows. i put in a new motor' still the same.
3. 99% of the time truck starts & runs no problem, other times it wants to die as soon as possible, & at every stop sign & light. leave alone for a few minutes it'll start up no problem. doesn't matter if it is hot, or cold outside.
4. if i decide to put a newer bed on it [ just so i can buy accesories for it ]. what year would be best?
5.i am also looking for a bench seat for it [ it has a beige, yellowis interior ]
thanks for looking & any and all help. alva

also, 6.what size rear brakes? 3 different sizes from parts store.
7. they also say 2 different size u-joints
thanks again

1. possible the hinges are worn - need new ones or re-bushed.
2. could be that the ducting is cracked / mia / clogged with debris
3. number of things most likely carb related - stuck choke - vapor lock - stuck float
4. Any from 1980 to 1992 will work - all the same until they changed body style
5. keep my eyes peeled
6. need to measure - could be any of them - most likely the middle or small grade with the 318 package - but anything is possible - pull wheel off, remove drum and measure the diameter of the drum.
7. could be either. really depends upon the transmission you have - would be larger if you have a 727 and 4 speed overdrive and smaller if a 904.

Post #4
how can i find out what size transmission?
Posted: 02-10-2011, 01:13 PM
Post #5
easiest way is to crawl underneath it and look at it. The transmission pans are different. The 904 is basically rectangular with a dog ear on the drivers side back corner.
If I remember correctly the 727 pan has a few curves in it - especially where the dipstick meets up on hte passenger side front. Not sure on that - haven't looked at one lately.
Sometimes you can see it in the bellhousing casting - a-727 or 904 (sometimes it's a 999 also) but best way is to ID it by the pan
Posted: 02-10-2011, 01:16 PM
Post #6
if you look at this link:
that is what a 727 pan looks like.
The pan pic they show at jegs for the 904 is not correct - it's the same picture showing the 727 pan.

if it IS a D 150 the brakes will be 11X2.5; they show the 12" brakes in the catalog but I have no idea why; these were D 250-D350 parts; measure the drum "open side up" with a tape measure and that will tell. yours is a 5 lug wheel? then it is a 150 series. and what I said will hold true.
and yes, my 83 D 250 is 10 times the truck my 97 1500 was, too.

The door problem may very well be a bad latch. The part inside the door. Sometimes you can take it out, clean & re-lube (white lithium grease works very well), reinstall and it works. Other times it's so worn that it's junk.

My truck used to have the same trouble dying every chance it got. Felt like a ghost in there. It could be a number of things. Dirty carb, bad timing, etc.. With my truck it was actually a bad coil. It would start fine and run for a bit, then either die, or start cutting out, then it would die. I would let the coil cool down for a bit, then it would start and run again. The problem got consistently worse until it would no longer stay running. Something to consider if you rule out the other stuff.
Heater fan. I still have the same trouble. I've replaced the switch and motor, still blows weak. I'm suspecting the resistor now, it's the only thing I haven't replaced. I believe it's mounted on top of the duct and inline between the blower motor and switch. Can anyone confirm this? Cause I'd like to know for sure too.
The door not shutting. I agree with cleaning the latch box on it. Mine was all crusted up and was not working well until I cleaned it and used white lithium grease. Works like brand new now.

I've got one just like it. I drive it 40 miles every day round trip to work. I augmented the manual fuel pump with a low pressure electric and put in a pressure regulator. I put in a 3" single exhaust from the manifolds back. I kept the stock manifolds, removed the A.I.R. tubes and sealed the holes. I also rebuilt the Holly 2bbl. Everything else is stock. I do need to do the steering coupler but it is not serious yet. I really love this truck. The bigger exhaust really helped with low end torque and it sounds cool to It starts every time even in very cold weather, takes little warm up time and gives reasonable mpg's. (reasonable is about 14) Take care of it and it will take care of you. My next project after the coupler will be a switch to HEI and possibly a switch to 4bbl.

Hey just my 2 cents on the heater. Check your heater box!! Mine blew fine but it had a musty smell i cut open the heater box and it was crammed full of 29 years worth of leaves, pine needles, the little helicopter seed things, insulation, dirt, you name it.
This is what it looked like
I just took my dremel and a small cut off wheel and cut out a piece i actually made it a little bigger after the pic. Then after i cleaned it out. used a piece of sheet metal and some screws and covered it up and painted it to match.
I take no reponsibility for what you do to your heater box.
If you want to do it the other way take the whole box out and take the top off. Which may involve removal of the dash. Good Luck!

what are you gonna do w/ the 85 now?
Yeah they switched bolt patterns 85 was the 1st yr for the larger bolt pattren, 5 on 5-1/2; the 83 will be 5 on 4-1/2 if a 1/2 ton same as any RWD Mopar car or Ford RWD car (though Ford rim center holes where they go on the hub are smaller than Dodge)
sorry; they will be prying my "old" truck from my cold, dead, fingers!
the new ones make me want to

Publication: The Day
Groton - Board members are actively considering bankruptcy for the financially troubled Poquonnock Bridge Fire District, District Board President Alan Ackley said Wednesday.
"Every district member understands that bankruptcy is in the offing unless something else happens," he said. "It's pretty cut and dried. If you don't have the money, you don't have the money."
Ackley said the board doesn't know yet what its legal options are when it comes to taking action to save money.
In the meantime, a decision that could make matters more urgent is due at any time. The board of directors and the Poquonnock Bridge Professional Firefighters Union expect to hear this month from an arbitrator on whether the district must honor a 10-year contract ratified in 2012. Ackley said he's not sure of the exact cost of the new contract, but it adds a few hundred thousand a year annually.
Board member Ron Yuhas said, "It's certainly going to bring us closer to bankruptcy if we have to honor that 10-year contract."
The board is scheduled to meet at 7 p.m. Thursday in the 13 Fort Hill Road station.
"Unless the union wants to sit down and talk, we're already bankrupt," Ackley said. "You can't operate with $3.5 million when the contract calls for $4.2 million."
Personnel costs, including salaries, pensions, insurance and other items, currently total about $4.2 million. Voters approved a budget of $3.5 million for the fiscal year that began July 1 after rejecting higher amounts.
The board had sought to re-enter negotiations by Monday, but the union declined.
Under state law, municipalities including fire districts may not declare bankruptcy without the written consent of the governor.
Board member Peter Legnos estimated last month that the district would run out of money in February without further cuts.
In the meantime, the board is looking at how it might stretch the money until the end of the fiscal year. Options include closing one of its two fire stations - Fort Hill - and, in the longer term, moving toward a combination career and volunteer firefighting force.
Ackley said he has 11 people trained and willing to volunteer. But four fire chiefs in Groton who run volunteer departments or combined departments said it would take at least a year to establish a volunteer force.
Fire chiefs from Old Mystic, Groton City, Noank and Center Groton agreed a year is the minimum.
Kenneth Richards Jr., longtime chief of the Old Mystic Fire Department, said he believes it would take between one and two years. Richards said volunteers must be held to the same standard as career firefighters and must be treated as equals.
He said the board, fire administrators, the union and the firefighters must agree or "it's going to fail."
Richards, whose son recently was elected to the Poquonnock Bridge Fire District board, is speaking next week on recruitment and retention at the International Association of Fire Chiefs' conference in Chicago.
"I really don't think some of the people that are proposing these things are looking at the big picture," he said. "The big picture is being able to provide proper emergency services to the taxpayers of the community. And that is the most important thing."
Center Groton Fire Chief Derek Fauntleroy said, "You can't just take anybody off the street and put them in fire gear and expect them to perform."
Richards and Groton City Fire Chief Nick DeLia said issues in Poquonnock Bridge also could affect surrounding districts.
DeLia, a former career firefighter for Poquonnock Bridge, said the city sent its ladder truck to assit Poquonnock Bridge for two years but didn't receive help maintaining the truck.
"It does impact the neighboring communities," DeLia said of financial problems in Poquonnock Bridge. "Particularly if you start laying people off."

Re: Whats going on with Fred Mundraby.
Yeah mate i hear what you are saying but there has also been alot of world champ who have built up a early record fighting winnable fights But when they have stepped up from the softer opponents they have handled it . Joseph agbeko is one that springs to mind recently he fought pretty much no body but when his chance came he was good enough. I do agree with what you are saying though mate it does help to be tested on your way up which Fred really wasn't . Yes you are also spot on that the Japanese fighters are matched very though , but not all Asians most of the thai fighters have very padded records . Look at all the non title fights wongjongkam had they are against novices and his record Is like 80 something and 3 or 4 . I believe Fred is a very good little boxer but world ckass no and never will be . There is probably at least 15 of 20 japs alone that would beat him .

Andhra Pradesh Teachers Recruitment
Teachers are the second parents of one's life. They facilitate us with all the basic education needed and make the youth and the children of today become the responsible citizens of our country in the coming years. In Andhra Pradesh, the teacher recruitment is run by the state for recruiting teachers for government and aided schools. The government of Andhra Pradesh with the AP Teachers Recruitment Board recruits teachers through its stipulated procedures.
AP Teachers Recruitment 2012 is the recruitment drive by this board for all the schools coming under its jurisdiction. The teacher to pupil ratio in Andhra Pradesh government schools was 1:40. However, after the Right to Education (RTE) Act 2009, this ratio has been altered to 1:30. This automatically means that many more teachers will have to be recruited. Every year, thousands of teachers retire or are transferred from one part of the state to another. This adds to the number of vacancies year after year. AP Teachers recruitment and vacancies are the compiled list of all the teachers' that become vacant in the state.
To apply for AP Teachers Recruitment 2012
The AP Teachers recruitment board sends out a notification before commencing the recruitment process. This talks about the number of positions available across different districts of the state along with the subjects or disciplines. It also talks about the application forms available and the location in which these forms have to be submitted along with the cut-off dates. The application forms itself contain all relevant information such as the qualification, experience required and the places of posting along with the subjects in which the vacancies exist.
The candidates who comply with all the requirements of the AP Teachers Recruitment 2012 are required to take the Teachers Eligibility Test for the state, popularly known as APTET.
AP Teachers Recruitment 2012 selection process
The candidates who are successful in APTET are then called for counseling in order to make them aware of the place of posting and help them locate those areas, which they are comfortable with. This is done alongside the personal interview. The interview panel consists of the subject experts along with other experts in education who judge them on capabilities such as communication skills, classroom management, mentoring skills etc that is essential for teachers applying under the AP Teachers Recruitment board.
Candidates who are successful in the interview are then given their appointment letters by the selection board with a specific date on which they have to join the schools. Information regarding AP Teachers recruitment and vacancies will be available on the official website.

College degrees becoming the norm, not the exception
It's now a fact: A college degree has become normal.
So normal that 25 percent of retail employees have one. So do 17 percent of bartenders, 15 percent of taxi drivers and 14 percent of waiters. Go back to 1970 and only 1 percent of taxi drivers had a bachelor's gegree. These numbers come from the Center for College Affordability in its report called, "Why are College Graduates Underemployed?"
Their basic finding: there are too many Americans with college degrees. As of 2010, there were almost 42 million Americans in the work force with a bachelor's degree. That sounds like a great achievement, but there were less than 29 million jobs that actually required a college degree.
And of course, the gap keeps widening as nearly 70 percent of high school graduates enroll in college. By 2020, 31 percent of Americans will have a bachelor's degree, but only 14 percent of jobs will require one. That's not to say there will be no job growth in the United States. There will be plenty, but most of the growth will come from industries that don't require four-year degrees.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicted the top 30 areas of growth until 2020. On their list, four will require a bachelor's degree or higher education levels. Those four: college professors (which implies the expansion of college as an industry), secondary teachers, doctors and accountants. The rest of the jobs will either require an associate's degree, a high school diploma or nothing at all.
Now is the time to ask this question: is a college education still worth it? For some it absolutely will be, for others it won't be. Just because more people are graduating from college doesn't mean there will be enough jobs to support all those degrees. Jobs are only created by economic activity. More graduates mean more competition, which in turn usually suppresses wages because there is a plethora of applicants. That's not good news for anyone.
Right now, colleges and universities control the narrative. They say high school graduates must attend college. They will live a better life if they do. Politicians say the same thing. So do corporations. But are they doing us a disservice?
Right now, yes.
The current trends show the problems of underemployment getting worse. We owe it to our kids to be honest with them about it. Four-year degrees should be harder to get. The competition should start at the admissions process. There should be fewer of them. Four-year degrees should only be offered in fields that require them.
I don't have all the answers, but I can read between the lines and the line we are on may very get us lost deep in the woods with no easy way out.

"You can't catch a ball if there is still one in your mitt."
This gem — this nugget of wisdom that could be turned into the title for a best-selling, self-help book — was just written by one of my favorite bloggers, The Sahmmy. It's dating advice she's given friends about not being able to "start a new relationship until you completely let go of that guy." And yes, I've known one or two people in my life who could have used it.
And she's always coming up with good stuff like this! Is anyone looking for a new advice columnist? Call her. Text her. Tweet her. Or just visit her blog.
