A third Berkeley County Sheriff's Deputy has joined a class-action lawsuit against Berkeley County. The deputies say they were not paid all of their overtime for the last few years.
The lawsuit was filed by Berkeley County deputy James Lamar Blakely on May 20th. Since then, two more deputies have joined the suit.
Marybeth Mullaney is the attorney for the deputies,"it is to recover the wages that are owed to them for the past 2 to 3 years for the overtime that they were not paid."
Mullaney says attorneys representing Berkeley county have requested more time to investigate the issue before issuing a formal response.
When deputies work more than 171 hours over the course of 28 days, overtime has been earned. According to the complaint, this did not always happen.
Any Berkeley County Deputy who believes the county owes them overtime in the last three years can join the lawsuit.
Mullaney says she is not certain how long this case will take, "My clients are dedicated public servants. They love their job. They are police officers. It's all they've ever wanted to do. It's all they ever see themselves doing, and so the focus of the lawsuit is just to recover what they should've been paid under the federal law."
A copy of the full complaint is below:

Rated 5 out of 5 by carey9028 Extreme Comfort I bought this for my husband. Very comfortable and fits true to size. He has received a ton of compliments on the golf course. Very pleased. September 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tech Perfect fit great comfort and excellent quality I purchased these in Sept 2014, have worn them for 5 rounds so far. Perfect fit and very comfortable. I ordered a half size and that was a good move I have more room and no "new shoe" wear, they feel like I have worn them for years. The quality so far is excellence and I believe I will get many years of use. September 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by samstick1 Excellent golf shoe! Purchased on a whim and am definitely not disappointed. Stable, comfortable with a superb fit system with the way the laces are designed. Worth the money! August 27, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by DetroitVGA TW14 Golf Shoe. I like these a lot but do wish they have wide width for size 8. May 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MSG1981 Very comfortable I have had to try on many shoes to get the right fit. I have a wide foot and most golf shoes are narrow in width. These were just wide enough for support and a great fit. May 26, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Javier Great fit Shoes fit great very comfortable. Plenty of cushion it felt like I was wearing favorite pair of nike sneakers April 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Alberto Style and comfort I've worn several higher end golf shoes and typically tend to stay away from Nike just because they're not as comfortable. The Adidas tour 360 was my previous pair but this year I wanted to go with a more "sneakerlike" look. These shoes not only look great but they're SUPER comfortable. Hardly notice them at all while I'm playing and that's exactly what I'm looking for. Performance wise you feel really close to the ground and stable and style wise I've gotten several compliments already in the few rounds I've played in them. So far, my favorite golf shoe I've owned. Only thing I found is they run pretty narrow so I had to order online and get a wide instead of the regular size. April 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JTL TW14 It's only January so I have not had a chance to play in them yet. But, they were real comfortable in the store. Looking forward to enjoying them once Mother Nature lets us play. January 14, 2014

SHEFFIELD, Ala. (WZDX) - Police are looking for two men who stole a dumpster from the Shoals Treatment facility on Jackson Highway.
Sheffield police detective Joe Haynes told the TimesDaily security video at the center shows the men taking the dumpster around 10:30 p.m. on July 17.
Haynes said the men drove into the parking lot in a dark-colored minivan pulling a boat trailer, which they then loaded the dumpster into before driving off.
"This is just crazy," Haynes said. "I guess they just needed a dumpster."
The dumpster in question is a green Waste Management two-yard dumpster. Police hope the public can help identify the two men responsible for stealing it.
Anyone knowing anything about the theft is asked to call 256-383-1771.

On This Day: 25/11
Everton beat Bayern Munich 3-1 ON THIS DAY in 1987.
With English clubs still effectively under house arrest from European competition, the approaching centenary of the Football League would have to be marked in some way other than their representatives cutting a sway through Europe.
Thus West German League champions Bayern Munich were invited to play their English counterparts Everton in a centenary match at Goodison.
The game was sponsored by Mercantile Credit.
Despite all the activity behind the scenes, just over 13,000 attended the game in which Everton repeated their European Cup-Winners' Cup score of three years previously.
Two goals from Graeme Sharp and one from Adrian Heath only served to show just how much English football was missing European competition and vice-versa.

Expenditures are grouped in the following categories: Apparel, Dues, Equipment, Operations, Staffing, Travel, and Uniforms.
The above categories have been prioritized as follows: Automatic, Priority 1, Priority 2, and Priority 3.

The ADA for Rec. Sports will review the yearly budget plan and allocate Priority 1, 2, & 3 expenditures appropriately.
Priority One Expenditures are expenses that will stay with the club and benefit participants for several years. The department's goal is to pay for all club-owned equipment and uniforms (those which are deemed necessary for participation in the sport). These items may follow purchasing cycles:

Club Dues Structure
Most if not all colleges and universities have a dues structure within their club team programs. Some schools report that dues are as high as $750 per participant, not including apparel or some travel expenses. At Saint Mary's, with our student fees and efforts in fundraising, we try to minimize the amount of money that participants pay.
Each Club Sports team President will determine the amount of money charged per participant by semester. Dues should cover any projected purchases of participant-owned apparel, uniforms or equipment, as well as any projected travel expenses that are not paid by the department. This amount must be approved by the Director of Club Sports.
All participants are required to pay dues of a certain minimum amount, as approved above. Teams may decide that some participants pay more money toward certain trips or other events. In the case of financial hardship, dues can be paid through a payment plan or other arrangement, as agreed upon by Director of Club Sports and the individual participant.
Inventory Procedures
All items purchased with club money are property of Saint Mary's College. All such club-owned items are to be stored in Madigan Gym in the storage bins provided. If alternate storage is needed, location and access must be approved by the Director of Club Sports.
Each Club Sports Team President should maintain an accurate inventory and detailed analysis of what their team needs. An inventory of all items is to be documented at the beginning and end of each semester or competition season, and submitted to the Director of Club Sports.
Each item should have a distinguishable mark so it can be individually identified. When items are issued to participants, their name and the identification number of the item should be noted to ensure the items are returned. Contact the Department of Rec Sports for help labeling or storing your items.
The Business Office may charge participants who do not return the items checked out to them.

Clint Eastwood's son Scott changed his stage name to reflect his family connection at the request of his father.
The movie legend's 27-year-old son has followed his dad into the film industry but started his career as Scott Reeves, using his mother's last name in a bid to distance himself from the veteran actor/director.
Scott says he wanted a chance to prove himself as an actor without trading off his father's fame, but his dad eventually convinced him to change his name back.
He tells the New York Post, "I wanted to make it on my own and to at least see if I could do it by myself. Everyone wants to pitch Eastwood; that's the cheapest game in the book. Can you make it on your own? Can you stand on your own two feet? If you're not good, if you can't carry your weight in the audition room... it doesn't matter what your last name is... It (changing my name back to Eastwood) was one of those things, it was always going to happen."
True story: 1995?
I had a kid in my Jr. golf class, that was pretty active with a fairly short attention span and after 5 weeks of class he asks me if he could bring his dad next week to class. I say "sure" hoping this will help keep the kid "focused" (aka inline).
So the next week, I get a call from the driving range saying Clint Eastwood was up on the range and that I have a lesson with his kid. I'm thinking there has to be a mistake, I've got Jr. golf class ?
It turns out the kid was Scott Reeve's and he brought his dad Clint to class...Pretty cool.

The Doobie Brothers will perform classics as well as music from their new album tonight at Spreckels Theatre.
It's the holiday season, and most local radio stations have their own concert celebration to welcome listeners to a sampling of the music styles programmed on the individual stations. This year, KPRI gets the award for the most eclectic mix of music, representing their Then and Now programming with a concert in one of San Diego's concert gems, the Spreckels Theatre, with the Doobie Brothers, Shawn Mullins and Crystal Bowersox (read Chris Cantore's blog). I remember looking through my parents' records in college (while deciding which ones I would swipe) and listening to the Doobies. and not really getting it. Now that I'm older and have more diverse tastes, I'm glad that those records are in my possession. The band has survived decades, and with an all-new record under their belts, my mom and I can share the music experience together.
If that's not your flavor, you can check out San Diego's Earthless, who have been on tour for so long that their overdue hometown performance is one of just a couple this year, or head up to Bar Pink for some fresh talents (Mississippi Man, Rumspringa and a SoundDiego favorite, the Howls). I have to say, while our focus here at SoundDiego is music, I'm a little sad I'll be missing my comedy crush, Louis CK, over at the Balboa Theatre.

Ready to Go (Get Me Out of My Mind)3 Reviews
Since they'd just arrived at the cabin and hadn't had a chance to unpack anything, Ryan and Jon were ready to depart within minutes.
Spencer went and flung his arms around Jon, tears silently streaming down his face. Brendon took the opportunity to approach Ryan. They looked at each other, tears shining bright in both men's' eyes.
"Ryan," Brendon whispered, putting his hand to Ryan's cheek, his thumb running gently along the bone.
"I know, Brendon. But I want you to remember something: I will always love you. No matter what. You've always had my heart. And you always will."
Brendon let out a choked sob and wrapped his arms tightly around Ryan, thinking that maybe if he clung to him hard enough, he wouldn't leave. Ryan ran his hand over the back of Brendon's head soothingly. Lovingly.
"There are a million ways that this could go. But Brendon, I think you're right. I think I'm ready for it. I'm ready to go," he whispered. Brendon pulled back and looked at Ryan for a long moment before kissing him.
It wasn't the usual mix of love and lust in their kiss. It was full of tenderness, love, passion and a touch of desperation. Less than five feet away, Jon and Spencer were doing the same. And then their lips parted. Brendon kept his eyes closed for another moment, his hands still tangled in Ryan's hair. And then he let go, took a step back and opened his eyes.
Ryan picked up his suitcases and a few moments later, so did Jon. Ryan looked up hesitantly at Brendon.
"Well. I guess that this is goodbye," he said quietly. Brendon nodded, his gaze never leaving Ryan's. He opened the door, turning to go out of it.
"Ryan, wait!" Brendon cried. Ryan turned, looking at Brendon, a glimmer of hope in his eyes. Brendon paused, realizing now that he shouldn't have done that. He was only making it harder for both him and Ryan. He sighed.
"I love you, Ryan. You'll always be my Mona Lisa." He smiled. "Best of luck to both of you," he said, giving Jon a quick hug. And then the door shut and they were gone. Brendon stared stupidly at the door for a minute or two before his face crumpled.
"RYAN! NO!" he screamed, flinging open the door and running down the long driveway that led to the cabin. He made it around a bend just in time to see red taillights turning on to the highway. He raced faster, determined to catch the car, pushing himself to a new high. And then a rock leapt into his path, causing him to trip and fall, his momentum carrying him forward so he skidded across the gravel drive.
He knew there were going to be some nasty cuts on his face, but at this point, he didn't care. He scrabbled back up, continuing down the drive, turning at the corner, racing down the highway. He could see their car. It was so close. He pushed himself even faster, his feet barely touching the ground as he ran. But to no avail. The car turned into traffic and became lost in plain sight. Brendon stopped at the corner, his legs suddenly turning to jelly as he collapsed in the middle of the road.
He supposed he should move, lest a car come by and hit him, but he couldn't even breathe, let alone move. So Brendon lay in the middle of the black asphalt, not caring whether he lived or died. A car came speeding towards him and Brendon squeezed his eyes shut, not really wanting to watch his impending doom bearing down on him.
He heard the squeal of the brakes locking and Brendon tried to scream, but not being able to breathe inhibited him from doing so. However, the impact never came. He heard a car door opening, footsteps running towards him.
"Brendon! Oh God, Brendon! Are you okay?" he heard Spencer next to him and he turned towards the sound. Spencer was bent down next to him, one hand on Brendon's shoulder, the other fluttering next to his bloodied face.
Brendon continued to suck in shallow gasps, staring at Spencer with panicked eyes while Spencer quietly urged him to breathe. He rubbed his back soothingly, trying desperately to help his friend.
After a long time, Brendon's breathing finally returned to normal and he took huge breaths, filling his lungs with as much oxygen as he could. Spencer looked at him sympathetically. Brendon glared.
"Stop it, Spencer. Stop looking at me like that," he rasped.
Spencer nodded slowly, trying to force the empathy from his face. He helped Brendon up and started to walk. Brendon began to fall, the ground rushing up to meet him. He felt strong arms wrap around his waist and yank him back up.
Brendon let out another sob, throwing his arms around Spencer's shoulders and burying his head into his shirt. Spencer carefully picked him up, not caring that Brendon's bleeding face was ruining his shirt. Not caring that Brendon probably only weighed slightly less than he did. Not caring that his own heart was broken too. He just wanted to get them back home.

Welcome to Social and Moral Philosophy!
By longstanding tradition in the University of Helsinki, the philosophy faculty is divided into two major areas, the practical and the theoretical. This division is not what it may appear to be; there is nothing impractical about theoretical philosophy nor necessarily untheoretical about practical philosophy. Rather, the division corresponds to the idea that practical philosophy centers on human activity and the foundations of the social sciences, and therefore pursues the moral question of how, individually and socially, we should live, as well as questions concerning the nature of individual action and social institutions. Theoretical philosophy in turn centers on the question of the nature of reality as a whole and how, through individual observation and inquiry in the scientific disciplines, the world can be known. These incalculably rich and growing areas of scholarship intersect at many points, and the two sections regularly cooperate both in their research and publication and in the education of students.

This was pretty good. It did have a lot of flavors. If I make it again, I would try it without the mustard dressing and just the cream cheese spread.

Cosmetic Dermatology
Microdermabrasion – Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical exfoliating treatment used to improve skin texture, uneven skin color, acne and acne scarring, sun-damaged skin, age spots, fine lines, or rough skin. Microdermabrasion is performed with a stream of fine crystals which are delivered across the skin's surface and then removed with a mild suction. The gentle abrasive action of the crystals combines with the suction to remove the damaged cells revealing fresh invigorated skin. To achieve maximum results, several treatments are recommended, typically scheduled one to two weeks apart. The procedure takes about 30 minutes and you may return immediately to your daily activities.
Chemical Peels are topically applied acids that aid in the restoration and rejuvenation of the skin's surface. Chemical peels help to slough off the dead cells on the surface of the skin and then stimulate the skin's natural process to promote regeneration and renewal of the skin. Typically, there is no downtime and with appropriate sun protection you can resume regular activities immediately. Southern Illinois Dermatology currently offers glycolic and salicylic peels. Ask us which peel is best for your skin concerns.
Belotero injectable dermal filler as unique as you are.
Specially designed to integrate into your skin and mold to your
distinct facial contours. By adaptating to the individuality
of your skin, it softens lines and wrinkles around the nose and
mouth for smooth and natural results that are uniquely you.
Belotero Balance Dermal Filler is made of a material called hyaluronic
acid or HA. HA naturally exists as a component of your skin.
By binding to water, it fills in wrinkles and folds, allowing
immediate and smooth correction. The versatility of the
product makes it strong enough to handle deep treatment areas
such as nasolabial folds (smile lines around the mouth), yet soft
enough to treat more delicate areas such as verticle lip lines
(thin lines that appear above the lip line). Visit them
at www.belotero.com
Juvederm injectable gel is a nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment for those wrinkles and folds in the lower third of the face. It is made from Hyaluronic acid – a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to hydrate and add volume. Hyaluronic acid may diminish with age, contributing to the formation of wrinkles and folds. Juvederm injectable gel works to correct this by restoring hyaluronic acid in your skin, helping to smooth wrinkles and folds. There is minimal recovery or downtime and most patients need one treatment to achieve optimal wrinkle smoothing, and the results last up to 6 months or more. However, results may vary and supplemental "touch up" treatments may be required to achieve and maintain optimal results.
Lasers have been used for many years for a variety of medical cosmetic procedures. Lasers work by focusing a beam of light to a target in the skin. Southern Illinois Dermatology provide a variety of laser treatments for both medical and cosmetic conditions
Light Sheer Diode Laser – The Light Sheer Diode laser produces a highly concentrated light to remove unwanted hair. The light emitted by the Light Sheer is well absorbed by the pigment located in hair follicles. The laser pulses for a fraction of a second, just long enough to vaporize the pigment, disabling numerous follicles at a time to eliminate or significantly impede the hairs re-growth. The laser treats hair follicles that are in an active grow phase and because hair grows in phases more than one treatment is required to disable hair follicles that subsequently enter other growth phases. We will be happy to tell you more about your treatment and what you can expect during your free consultation.
Iridex Laser – The Iridex DioLite laser is used to treat vascular and pigmented skin lesions. It is recommended for small linear vascular lesions and small epidermal pigment lesions. Vascular lesions may include telangiectasia, spider angiomas, cherry angiomas, venous lakes, and neovascularization around scars. Pigmented lesions may include lentigines, keratoses, dermatosis papulosis nigra, freckles and seborrheic keratoses.
Fraxel re:store - Remove years from your appearance. No surgery required. With the revolutionary Fraxel re:store laser treatment, you can get: Improved skin tone, plumping of acne scars and surgical scars, reduced wrinkles and fine lines, smoother skin texture. All in a series of treatments – with minimal downtime or discomfort. Remarkable results you can see and feel.
Fraxel re:store laser treatment is a revolutionary new way to correct aged and damaged skin – without the prolonged downtime or adverse reactions of other resurfacing procedures. Safe and effective, the Fraxel re:store laser is cleared by the FDA and has undergone extensive testing in the lab and out in the field. Fraxel re:store treatment is the accepted gold standard for treating these conditions:
Acne scars, periorbital wrinkles,
melasma (mask of pregnancy), iIrregular texture, sun spots and age spots (pigmented lesions).How it works:
With Fraxel re:store treatment, you get dramatic results without going under the knife. Instead, Fraxel re:store laser treatment uses points of light to precisely treat thousands of microscopic areas of your skin. The treatment penetrates deep into the skin to remove old, damaged skin cells, stimulates your body's own natural healing process, and replaces the cells with fresh, glowing, healthy skin. Because the technology is so precise, Fraxel re:store treatment works not only on the face, but also on delicate skin areas like the neck, chest and hands.
XEOMIN® (incobotulinumtoxinA) for injection, for intramusccular use, is a prescription medication used to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults. Botulinum toxin type A - the active incrediant in XEOMIN® - acts on nerve endings in muscles to prevent muscle fibers from contracting. By reducing these contractions, XEOMIN® can temporarily reduce the lines on your forehead between your brows.
