Trip Overview
This trip involved a put in at the Stone Bridge on the Manassas Battlefield, and take out at the Route 28 bridge on the north boundary of the City of Manassas. The trip is almost entirely through parkland, which makes for a rather pastoral experience. A few fishermen were encountered around the VA 616 bridge, and the take out at Route 28, but they seemed friendly if not somewhat puzzled with the sight of whitewater boats heading down a gentle fishing stream.
The water level on the stream gauge at Rt 28 was approximately 3.2, which was quite low, and not runnable for the first few cobble bars below the put-in. I would not put in in this location at levels below 3.7
This stream is an excellent novice paddling experience. There are frequent riffles that require simple reads, and minimal maneuvering. Many of the riffles require avoiding debris that does not block the stream, so there is some challenge there. The penalty for failing to read the water properly is minimal - usually just getting stuck on a cobble bar. No significant hazards were encountered on the trip.
The riffles are more frequent in the section north of I-66, but the better ones are toward the end of the trip. The upper section contained one low diagonal ledge (under one foot high) in addition to the cobble bars. Below I-66, there is one small ledge type riffle that had a small wave train, waves under 1 ft.
The only rapid on the trip is a low ledge just upstream of the take out at the Route 28 bridge. This is a very straightforward Class I ledge, but a fun splash for the novice paddler.
At low water levels this trip took about 3.5 hours, but could be shortened by putting in the stream almost anywhere along the river left bank in the Bull Run Regional Park. Finding a put in spot here could be tricky, due to the typically high banks.
The put-in parking requires a $3 entry fee for the National Park. As this is an envelope system, you should have exact change unless you want to donate to the Park Service. The parking is convenient to the bridge, but a short (about 200 yard) carry is needed. The put-in area has a nice sandy bar just under the Rt 29 bridge that can be accessed by walking across the stone bridge and heading downstream on river right.
The take out is a bit tricky for a novice, requiring an easy eddy turn on river left below the Class I ledge. Once out of the boats, there is a convenient staircase leading up to the ample parking lot.
$3 park entry fee at the Manassas Battlefield.
You may also face a park entry fee if you enter the Bull Run Regional Park.
From I-66 to the Put-In:
Exit on Route 28 South. Head west on US 29 (Lee Highway) approximately 3 miles. The Stone Bridge is just upstream of the Rt 29 bridge across Bull Run at the Manassas Battlefield. There is parking on the right side just before crossing the Rt 29 bridge.
From I-66 to the take out:
Head south on Rt 28 toward Manassas. There is a parking area before the Rt 28 bridge over Bull Run, and just after the intersection for Rt 28 and Compton Road.

All client comments represent the opinions of the people who provide them. All potential clients are urged to remember that no two cases are ever completely alike and that the result in one case does not guarantee a similar result in another case.
Litigation - Labor & Employment
Rosemary Gousman at Fisher Phillips is the best employment lawyer. She is business-savvy, responsive and creative and the HR clients love her.
They are knowledgeable, practical and cost-effective. I love working with Fisher Phillips.
Fisher Phillips' Dallas office has represented this entity for many years. Michael Abcarian is very knowledgeable about the intricacies of the FLSA and was especially effective in his representation of this institution in federal court in an FLSA auto-deduct meal break case. Janet Hendrick is a go-to attorney for ADA matters. She has defended this institution from multiple charges of discrimination at the EEOC and Texas Workforce Commission Civil Rights Division.
Labor Law - Management
I have worked the most with the Boston office and with the Managing Partner at Fisher Phillips, Joe Ambash. He is an excellent lawyer. He is extremely knowledgeable, very responsive, and very practical. He does an excellent job in any matter that he undertakes on our behalf. The other lawyers that I have worked with in the Boston office are also excellent, in particular Jeff Dretler and Josh Nadreau. The attorneys that I have dealt with at the other offices have also been excellent and very responsive.
John Folcarelli Steward Health Care System LLC
Fisher Phillips is very business-savvy, and they try to help in making decisions that are in the best interest of their clients. They seem fairly selfless in this regard, which is much appreciated. They know the law, and they are good at assessing their matters. I have used them for years and will continue to do so.
I work mostly with Jeff Dretler of Fisher Phillips, who is knowledgeable and trustworthy. He is truly a wonderful attorney. When I need areas of expertise that he does not personally have, he finds members of his firm who do, which is extremely valuable.
Joshua Abrams Partners HealthCare System
Employment Law - Management
In my experience with Fisher Phillips, I find the firm to be customer focused and to operate with a high degree of expertise in employment issues as well as occupational safety representation.
I work primarily with Edward Harold of Fisher Phillips and consider him an exceptional attorney. He is well-versed in his fields of expertise. Ed is responsive and follows through on issues that arise whether the issues are minor or involve litigation.
Sandy Feingerts at Fisher Phillips handles our ERISA work for our defined benefit pension plan. She has been our ERISA counsel for 30 years and is top-notch. She is an excellent lawyer!
Mike Marsh Vigor Shipyards
I have worked with Mike Mitchell of Fisher Phillips for many years. He is always responsive, provides valuable counsel, and has been a trusted partner along the way.
Sawyer Kenny Verso Paper Co.,
Fisher Phillips is the best I've worked with!
Tiny Irwin General Distributors, Inc.
We highly value our relationship with Fisher Phillips, in particular our primary counselor, Cheryl Pinarchick. We have followed Cheryl since she worked for Brown Rudnick and have always appreciated her responsiveness, expertise and partnership. We truly feel she is truly committed to helping us mitigate risk and do the right thing. We call on her perhaps more than we should but because we always know she will be there to provide solid advice and steer us in the right direction. She frankly also cares for the mission of our non-profit and tries to meet our needs in the most cost-effective way. We also appreciate the educational/professional development opportunities Fisher Phillips affords to our HR team. We look forward to continuing to partner with Cheryl and the firm.
Jon Cramer Facing History & Ourselves
We have used Fisher Phillips for a number of years. I have found their in-depth knowledge of our organization to be a great benefit of their firm for us. They always remember the details of what they have worked on for us in the Tampa and New Orleans offices (I have only spoken to Atlanta on limited occasions and only for specialized fields of law). Their memory of prior cases and knowledge of our business is a huge savings for us as they don't require a lot of additional time to get them up to speed. They also have the most up-to-date information on case law and share that information with us via email on the main topics but will call with information that is relevant to our business.
Courtney Leyes of Fisher Phillips is a pleasure to work with.
Ida DiBlasi BBP Ventures
Steve Cupp and Jaklyn Wrigley with Fisher Phillips have been an outstanding resource for my companies. They are always responsive, and give measured, logical, and sound guidance. They really take the time to fully understand our operations in each situation, and they provide us with effective and reasonable solutions each and every time.
Gary Barton Biloxi Lodging, Inc.
Our experience with Fisher Phillips has been outstanding!
I love Fisher Phillips!
Trish Roberts Community Services Project, Inc.
My office hired Fisher Phillips to advise on a hot-topic labor matter. I worked closely with Joe Ambash of the Boston Office. Joe was very knowledgeable about the subject and very responsive. He understood our internal culture and the deliverables we needed. In addition, Joe was a pleasure to work with.
Immigration Law
I've worked with David Jones at Fisher Phillips for nearly 10 years. Not only is he an expert in employment-based immigration, but he also offers creative solutions with a great deal of integrity and ethics.
Fisher Phillips is an outstanding partner who brings us world-class services. The lawyers are always very responsive and knowledgeable about all areas of labor law.
I have worked with Clyde Jacob in Fisher Phillips. He is a very good employment lawyer and is mindful of the needs and restrictions of his clients. I appreciate his work for us.

Lord, in this time of new rhythms,
in these days of different pursuits,
when my life and service has changed
from preaching and leading
to writing and speaking,
please guard the gifts you have given me,
and save me from neglecting
or missing any service to which you call me.
I love where you've placed me,
and it would be so easy
to be not only content but complacent.
Help me, Lord, not to do that.
Open doors for me to preach
if that's what you want.
Keep them shut
if that's what you want.
I want
what you want,
when you want,
where you want,
in Jesus' name, amen.
A daily prayer blog by Bob Hostetler, the author of The Red Letter Prayer Life and the 31 Ways to Pray for Your Kids iPhone and iPad app. Just one prayer each day. Seldom more. Seldom very long. Sometimes personal. Sometimes original. Always sincere.
Guard, Save, Open, Close

Very timely message for me, Bob, and I'm probably not the only one.
I'm glad your ministry widened out into one that can touch a large audience.I just know your writings and probably wouldn't have ever heard you preach.

Thank you, Tracy! Such kind words.

Quality Weighted Assignments
The South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS) will be implementing a Quality Weighted Assignment algorithm for enrollments that begin on or after January 1, 2013. Beneficiaries who are managed-care-assignable, but have not selected a health plan, will be assigned to a health plan by the enrollment broker based on this algorithm.
SCDHHS has committed to providing statewide leadership to most effectively utilize resources to promote the health and well-being of South Carolinians. The State intends to promote and further its mission by defining measurable results that will improve Medicaid Managed Care Organization Member access and satisfaction, maximize program efficiency, effectiveness and responsiveness, and reduce operational and service costs.
The Quality Weighted Assignment algorithm is linked to a health plan's overall score on the Health Plan Report Card. The first assignments utilizing quality will occur based on the scores from calendar year 2011 and released in November 2012. The Report Card will be updated twice annually, in July and January.
Specifics of the quality weighted assignments algorithm can be found at https://msp.scdhhs.gov/managedcare by clicking on MCO Contract/P&P then click Policies and Procedures Guide-July 2012. This information can be found in Appendix 6, page 123.
Please refer any questions or concerns regarding this bulletin to the Provider Service Center at 1-888-289-0709. Thank you for your continued support of the South Carolina Medicaid program.

I did it! This is the very last post of the last 32 days of uploading constantly both on my blog and Instagram in December and the very first post of 2018. Don't get me wrong I absolutely adored blogmas and all of the posts that I created, but my goodness it was challenge to schedule everyday. I have a complete new found respect for daily vloggers! I'm so proud of myself for posting everyday for a whole month though, and I certainly want to try it again another time. I hope that you enjoyed it as much as I do! You are probably completely sick of me now however I do want to give a roundup of my month, so here we are. Behind the scenes of blogging I have actually had an incredibly busy December, I suppose that it is christmas after all.
The 3rd of December was my boyfriends birthday and we really didn't do a great deal, but it was so lovely to just spend the day relaxing and actually doing very little. We chilled out, opened presents, ate a lot of cake and watched Sherlock. Can you think of a better day? I loved it and I think he did to, which was obviously the main thing. I love celebrating with people!
This point is more of a personal one for when I read these back in the future, as I have found myself going back and re reading these posts from last year so I want to include more personal things just for me. If you read Hello December you will know that last month I had some mock exams for my A levels, and this month I received the results, and I am so happy with them! A lot of hard work went into them but I love the little confidence boost it gives me and actually makes me feel like I can do A levels and get into university (I doubt myself wayyyy too much).
I didn't attend many blog events in December because of other Christmas plans, however me and my nan did go to the origins Christmas event. It was all based around the ginger range, which I had never tried before. It was a lovely short but sweet evening, which I thoroughly enjoyed. If you haven't already read the post please go take a look at it, and hopefully I'll be able to attend more events at origins York in the future.
You will have already seen this as part of my blogmas posts, but the weekend before Christmas I hosted a party with my friends to celebrate. It was such a good night and I really enjoyed spending time with everyone. I also spent the weekend away at the house that we were hosting it at, and it was nice to just have the weekend to ourselves to relax… well around all the party chaos!
Onto the most important day of December, the 25th. I have already written a whole post about it the other day but I had such a nice day filled with family, food, movies and overall relaxation. Christmas is certainly one of my favourite days of the year and I love being able to celebrate it. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas too.
The last thing that happened this month was Isy's birthday. Isy is one of my best friends and my longest lasting friendship, and I can't believe that she turned 18 a couple of days ago. We have been inseparable since aged 12 so it's so weird that she is actually seen as an adult now. We had a chilled night celebrating and we are going to properly celebrate in January, which I am excited about.
I am actually writing this post on the day of the 31st, so we haven't actually seen in the new year yet, but my plan is to spend the evening with my family and my boyfriend, which I am so excited. Startling 2018 off with my favourite people is certainly a good beginning to the year and sets it off well. I can't wait to see what 2018 holds.
As always thank you so much for supporting me through my blogging and for the entirety of blogmas, I am so blown away by all of the support that I have received and how many people have seemed to enjoy my posts. However I do need a little rest from blogging because of the amount that I have done recently (32 posts in one month is a lot harder than it first looks!), so I am giving myself a week off to relax from uploading. I will see you again on the 7th with a new post to kick off 2018.

There's something about drinking Buchu water that's completely addictive. For some, the initial taste is an assault on the senses and elicits an immediate reaction of shock.
For other's the taste is instantly appreciated and palatable. "It's a bit like drinking nature's finest distilled whiskey, yet without the alcohol," says James Kuiper, lymphatic cancer survivor and distributor of Sexy Buchu Detox water. "Once you acquire the taste, you can't help drinking more." He admits to being a complete Buchu addict and polishing off up to a bottle a day. "First there's the minty green aftertaste, no mouthwash or toothbrush leaves your mouth feeling as sexy and fresh. Then there's the energy – it's like a rocket boost for your body. Besides that, it's a strong natural detox, alkalinizes your pH levels, drops anxiety, gives clarity to the brain, prevents hangovers, fixes up creaky joints. It's a total elixir for life."
Undisputedly, the benefits are enormous. The converted claim a daily dose is an irreplaceable tonic that provides heightened energy and immeasurable zest, and takes care of countless ailments from urinary infections to muscular strains, inflammation and more.
More than anything we have the Khoisan and their recognition of the multiple value of plants and herbs to thank for this all round medicinal wonder. For hundreds of years, Buchu has been the mainstay of their pharmaceutical lore. Buchu was a daily ritual amongst the Khoisan. It was mixed with fat and applied externally to aid healing, alleviate pain and heal poisoned wounds. It was also rubbed onto new-born babies.
Besides other gems like the Cancer Bush, Wild Garlic, African Potato, Renoster Bush, Elephant's Foot and Mountain Sage, Buchu is arguably the most potent of them all. It's packed with bioflavonoids (naturally occurring anti-oxidants) capable of preventing cell destruction by free radicals. It is a valuable source of vitamins A, B, C, and E and numerous minerals.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY – muscular strains and sprains and pain and inflammation associated with arthritis, gout, rheumatism and other joint related diseases
DETOX – flushes out toxins and has a great effect on the kidneys, prevents hangovers and other symptoms of overindulgence and fatigue, treating obesity and water retention

The Khoisan believed Buchu was an elixir of youth. They would chew the fresh or dried leaves or make infusions and poultices to heal a wide range of ailments and injuries. It was mixed with animal fat and used as an insect repellent, deodorant and moisturizer.
CAUTION: Buchu is a natural diuretic and can deplete the body's store of potassium, so when taking larger quantities it's recommended to increase consumption of potassium-rich foods like bananas, dark green veg, whole grains and fish.
Together with Rooibos and Honeybush tea, Buchu is one of three South African medicinal plants used in international medicine and is recognised by the British Pharmacopoeia as a medicine for 'cystitis, urethritis, nephritis and catarrh of the bladder'.
You find Buchu in the mountains of Western Cape in South Africa, in the fynbos strip up to Clanwilliam in the north, Stanford in the south, and to the Outeniqua mountains. It needs specific conditions to grow and doesn't easily grow outside of this habitat. From the more than 130 species of Buchu, two of these are used commercially. Crenulata and Betulina have a high oil content and are the main source of commercially harvested Buchu.

Keller, French Laundry Cookbook, California Yountville

The French Laundry Cookbook by Thomas Keller
Reviewed By
Sue Dyson and Roger McShane
United States
The French Laundry Cookbook is a great cookbook by Thomas Keller of the famous French Laundry in Yountville, California.
One of the most enjoyable and relaxing eating experiences we have had in recent years was at the wonderful French Laundry in Yountville just north of Napa.
Relaxed and knowledgeable service, a soothing atmosphere, an interesting if not extensive wine list and then lots of thoughtful, provocative and even exciting food. Food that you want to really eat, not just play with.
The experience we had at the restaurant suggested that Thomas Keller is a driven man who does everything as well as humanly possible. We assumed that this would also be the case with his cookbook. And we were right.
So often, when the world's great chefs put their thoughts down on paper, it is impossible for us mere mortals to even approach the techniques and approaches they suggest. They often assume that you have a brigade of twenty to do your bidding. Well, when you are cooking for ten in your home kitchen, you are the brigade!
Keller and his co-writers Susie Heller and Michael Ruhlman have done a great job at proposing recipes that are challenging for the home enthusiast but not beyond our reach. In fact, we recently prepared a seven-course dinner with four of the recipes being adaptations of those in this fine cookbook and they all worked perfectly (well, at least our guests were kind enough to say so!).
This is a large book in every sense. Large in size, large in the ideas and large in the generosity with which Keller's ideas are shared with us. It is also backed up by stunning food photography (one of the hardest areas of the photographic arts) by Deborah Jones.
We like the fact that the book is a story recounting Keller's road to the French Laundry and how he has developed his techniques rather than just being a recitation of recipes. The stories are supported by the recipes, rather than the other way around. This makes it a book you can sit and read and then head off to the kitchen when one of the techniques suddenly drives you to the stoves.
Keller goes out of his way to make sure we understand why he does things the way he describes. He also manages to get across the comforting idea that you don't reach perfection the first time. In the section on hollandaise, for example, he describes how he used to make this unctuous classic every day for two years in his search for understanding. He also explains the reasons for his "big-pot blanching", something we have taken up with enthusiasm.
As vegetables cook, they release enzymes which attack the colour pigments. If, however, the water is above boiling point, these enzymes are destroyed. Therefore, if you have a large pot of water on the boil and drop the beans or peas into it, it is less likely to go off the boil than a small pot of water! The other trick he uses is lots of salt. This helps reduce the release of the pigments and also helps season the vegetables.
Not all the recipes are complex, although the results are wonderful. Try the lovely cauliflower pannacotta, for example. The flavour of this much-maligned vegetable is magnified in this dish. Once you master the technique of reconstituting gelatin leaves and get the proportion of gelatine to liquid right, you will make a perfect pannacotta every time.
As an aside, if you want to try something different with cauliflower, cut it into thin slices (about 5mm), brush the small pieces with olive oil and then roast it in the oven for about 20 minutes at 180C. It develops a wonderful, nutty, complex flavour.
For a visual feast that goes perfectly with crab or salmon tartare, try the cucumber jelly. It takes a while to prepare, but isn't difficult once you work out how to make tiny cucumber "diamonds".
Also try some of the techniques he describes to enhance flavours and appearance on the plate with vibrant herb oils. There are so many good ideas in this book we could keep describing them for ages. But the best idea would be to jump onto the Internet and order a copy for yourself so that you can enjoy reading the book and getting inside the mind of a great chef.

Genre: Contemporary Romance, Rock Star Romance
Book Length (Est.): 177 Pages
Book Description/Synopsis:
My name is Hunter Jordan, lead singer of Hammered and no, I didn't name my c*ck Manaconda.
Rolling Stone did.
On the front cover of their damn magazine.
I still haven't lived it down. And now our record label wants to maximize the frenzy.
So, I have a brand new PR person–Kennedy McManus.
And she's making me insane.
I don't know whether to ignore her, yell at her, or push her up against the wall and kiss her smart mouth shut.
I ended up kissing her.
Come on, I mentioned how exasperating she was, right?
That's when it blew up in both our faces.
Now, the tabloids think she's my girlfriend. My record label would rather have me remain the single manwhore of the ages.
Kennedy thinks I'm the manwhore anyway. She wants me for a quick fling and nothing more.
I just want Kennedy.
Man, I'm so screwed.
BEYOND OBLIVION – A Rockstar Romance full of sexy fun set within the world of our Lost in Oblivion series! You never know who you'll see show up in the books.
****Warning: book does end on a cliffhanger ****
Jennifer's Review:
*I received an ARC of this book free from Tasty Book Tours in exchange for an honest review*
Sometimes you find that anomaly, that complete and utter attraction to someone even if you're not sure you entirely like them. It gets under your skin and will drive you insane because the only you can do is act on it. That's the attraction Kennedy and Hunter feel within minutes of meeting. It's what get them in trouble within those same few minutes and lands her in media hell as his "girlfriend".
Media is what Kennedy does, it's her job to spin things for the best. What's not part of her job is kissing her sexy clients…in front of a room full of fans. She knows she shouldn't get involved with him, she certainly doesn't want to become another rock star groupie conquest, but her wants get completely obliterated by her need for his touch.
"I can't say I've ever enjoyed a button-fly more in my life."
I laughed. "Buttoned for her pleasure? That's new."
Jordan wanted the publicity for the band and he thought Rolling Stone was going to be that, but it turned out to be publicity for his cock. They labeled it Manaconda and sent all his fans on a rampage for more. Any rock star should love the attention, but not him…not anymore. When he meets the sexy redhead with the fiery temper he can't help but be attracted to her, but the more she rants the more he desires her.
"If you want it to just be a game for the cameras, I'll abide by that. But if you want more. If you want to see where this will go tonight. To see if this thing between us is more than just a quick storm with some laughs and an orgasm or seven…"
Manaconda is fun, sexy, and HOT! Kisses in secret passageways, orgasms in equipment trucks, what can be more captivating than two people who can't seem to resist each other.
Downside, it does end on a cliffhanger (not that you weren't warned), but the last chapter seems kind of rushed compared to the rest of the book. Like they were just trying to wrap it up quickly. Don't get me wrong, it's still good, and it'll definitely leave you wanting the next book, but it didn't seem in sync with the rest of the book.
My Favorite Moment: The first concert. Nothing like getting distracted backstage during the concert.
"Show." I dragged in a deep breath. "Song. Singing." Fuck, I didn't even know the right words. Words were what I knew. Spin and image. I groaned when he pressed me even tighter into the wall. Breath whooshed out of my lungs.
"After. I want you after. In my room." His voice lowered until it was only a grumbling bass of sound. "All of this off. All of you – mine."
*Clicking on the book cover above will take you to the Amazon purchase page.
"Maybe we should go back."
I shook my head. "Maybe we can sneak around. Seems like there wouldn't be any fans back here."
"Famous last words," she muttered.
I strode out, gravel crunching under my boots.
"You know, I'm not a huge fan of this dragging me around like a child."
I turned back to her, dragging her into my body. "Nothing child-like about you, Kenny." I bent down to her, our noses touching. "I just want a little alone time with you."
A loud engine started up.
"There's an elevator back there." She pointed with her thumb. "I bet we could do a lot of things in your room, my room—whatever." She rose on her toes until our lips were a breath apart. "You can give that whole seven thing a go." She dragged her nail over my bottom lip. "I don't believe you'll make it to seven, but I'm willing to let you try."
"Oh, my God, that's Hunter!"
The hiss of hydraulics and stomp of many feet did not bode well.
I closed my eyes. "Shit."
"Please don't be what I think it is."
A trio of people in black shirts with our new album on the front were standing in front of a huge bus. "Can you run in those things?"
She looked affronted. "I can do anything in heels."
"I hope so."
A woman in her twenties pointed our way. "Is that him?" she shrieked.
"Fan club."
"This is where the fan club bus is parked."
"They should be at dinner. Why aren't they at dinner?" Kenny asked with rising panic.
"Guess it's over." I sprinted to the door we'd just come out of. "Son of a bitch." I twisted the handle but nothing. "It must have locked after us."
She slapped the keypad. "Ya think?"
"Not helping." I darted a look past the bus, along with the line of at least seventy people lined up to board. Definitely couldn't go that way.
"They'll eat you alive."
"No kidding."
Three women broke off from the crowd and headed our way. As soon as they did, twenty more followed. I dragged Kenny with me to the front of the bus and around the side. The bus driver looked down at us and shook his head.
No help there.
The people that had boarded the bus were pointing at us as we ran to the other end. I shot by another line of cars and zig-zagged around another bus and saw a familiar logo. "Thank God."
"Where did he go?" Came shouts that were way too close.
"Where are we going?" she hissed.
"My bus."
"Your bus?"
I dragged her behind me as I ducked behind a black truck we used for our equipment. It has been a stripped down stage, but we still had a lot of instruments between Keys's pianos, the entire percussion set up that Wyatt used, all the guitars, amps, and digital network we used—we needed a truck no matter what.
"New plan." I unlatched the back of the rig and lifted the rolling door. "Get in."
"Are you freaking kidding me?"
I stared down at her. "Does it look like I'm kidding?"
She groaned. "I can't get up there."
I lifted her until her knee was on the base of the truck ledge. She scrambled in as the scraping of heels and running feet got closer.
"Move it, Kenny."
Her skirt rode up as she dragged herself inside. I threw her a soft whistle. She turned back to me with murder in her eyes. I squashed down a laugh, rolling in after her, tugging the door down behind me with a bang.
"I hate you."
I just smiled into the dark.

Internet / WiFi Acceptable Use Policy / Code of Conduct
Welwood Murray Memorial Library, a branch of the Palm Springs Public Library, is committed to providing free and open access to informational, educational, recreational and cultural resources for library users of all ages and backgrounds.
The Internet, as an information resource, enables the library to provide information beyond the confines of its own collection. It allows access to ideas, information and commentary from around the globe. Currently, however, the Internet is an unregulated medium of information. As such, while it offers access to a wealth of excellent information, it also enables access to some material that may be offensive, disturbing, illegal, inaccurate, misleading and/or incomplete.
Users are encouraged to be good information consumers by evaluating the validity of information accessed via the Internet. Library staff, and the library selected Internet sites on the Library's homepage, palmspringslibrary.org can be good starting points for Internet searches that are consistent with the Library's mission and service roles.
The Library affirms, and honors, the right and responsibility of parents to determine and monitor their own children's use of all library materials and resources, including the Internet. The Library assumes no responsibility for the use of the Internet by minors.
The Library has no control over the information accessed through the Internet and cannot be held responsible for its content. Library users use the Internet at their own risk. Parents are encouraged to read Child Safety on the Information Highway, at www.safekids.com/child-safety-on-the-information-highway.
Access, use, or dissemination of information via the Internet in the Library is the responsibility of the user. In the case of minors, it is a joint responsibility of the child and the parent or guardian. Any child 8 years old or younger must use the Internet with an adult over 18 years of age. The Library does not act in loco parentis, and cannot substitute its judgment for that of parents or enforce parents' decisions about their children's Internet use.
- All users are asked to respect the privacy of other users and not attempt to censor or comment upon what others are viewing.
- Internet access is provided in the library through a limited number of public computers. Use of the public computers is on a first-come basis for up to 30 min. session. We ask that you share Library resources with others and allow others to use computers and charging stations and not monopolize Library resources if others are waiting.
- Unacceptable use of the Internet will result in the loss of computer privileges, potential loss of library privileges and possible prosecution. Unacceptable use includes, but is not limited to:
- Using the Internet for illegal activities, including, but not limited to, using the Internet in violation of 47 USC 223 (a) to make, create, solicit, or initiate transmissions of obscene material or displaying harmful, offensive text or graphics when minors are present;
- Hacking into the library computer system or any other computer system;
- Damaging or attempting to damage computer equipment or software;
- Interfering with systems operations, integrity or security;
- Gaining unauthorized access to another person's files;
- Sending harassing messages to other computer users;
- Altering or attempting to alter the library computer's configuration;
- Violating copyright laws and software licensing agreements.
The library's computer workstations are set up for optimal usage by a single individual. In some cases, such as a parent/guardian with children, it may be important for two or more people to work together at a computer workstation. However, if a group creates a disturbance to the effective use of the library by others, they will be asked to correct the behavior, or leave the computer area.
Free WiFi access is also available throughout the Library for those users who have their own computer laptop or internet enabled device.
- Users are responsible for knowing how to configure their own equipment.
- Library staff cannot provide technical assistance in configuring our users' wireless devices or in troubleshooting access problems.
- The library's wireless Internet access is not encrypted. Wireless users are urged not to send personal, financial or any confidential information over the library wireless network.
- The Welwood Murray Memorial Library is not responsible for damage or loss due to security breaches, electrical surges or disruptions of wireless service.
Copies of this policy shall be made available to any person upon request, shall be provided to persons desiring to obtain a library card, and shall be posted on the library's website and at other appropriate locations to inform the public of the library's Internet Acceptable Use Policy.
Photography and Filming in the Library
The Welwood Murray Memorial Library prides itself on providing a safe and enjoyable experience to all its users, offering an atmosphere conducive to everyone's right to unimpeded and enjoyable library use. The Library also recognizes that there are times when the desire or need to capture a permanent image of an event or the building is important.
To retain the privacy of Library users as well as the aforementioned safe and enjoyable space, the following is the stated policy for photography, filming and recording in the Library.
Casual noncommercial photography intended to record a visit to the public areas of the Library is permitted provided that such photography:
- does not interfere in any way with Library operations
- does not capture identifiable likenesses of individuals without their permission (see photo release form)
- does not feature minors without permission of their parent or legal guardian (see photo release form)
- no supplemental lighting is used
- Individuals wishing to take photographs or film of the Library building and/or inanimate objects for personal use may do so without special permission
- nonprofit filming projects that require special equipment, staff involvement, or after-hours access should be registered and cleared with the Library Services & Public Relations Manager or Director of Library Services.
Individuals or organizations seeking to do photography or filming for commercial purposes will be referred to the City of Palm Springs Public Information Officer.
News media are asked to contact the Library Services & Public Relations Manager or the Director of Library Services to request use of the Library facilities for photography or filming activity, prior to arriving at the facility and be asked to complete a photo release form [available from library administration] if individual likenesses are to be captured.
It should be noted that the Welwood Murray Memorial Library is a public building and your entrance constitutes permission for your photograph, voice or image to be recorded. Furthermore, your attendance at any Welwood Murray Memorial Library sponsored event or program constitutes permission for your photograph, recorded voice or image to be used for promotional purposes—holding harmless the library and its agents and employees from and against any claims or liability arising from or related to the use, publication or distribution of the photographs, videos, and audio recordings and without further compensation.

Buying real estate is something you don't want to take lightly. You want to make sure you have as much information about real estate so when you make your purchase you feel comfortable about it. This article is here so you can learn some tips that can help you with buying real estate.
Before buying a house always have a professional come and look it over. They will be able to check for any problems that you might not notice, such as foundation issues, siding or wall cracks, basement leaks, or hazardous materials like asbestos. This will save you a lot of money in the long run.
When purchasing real estate, be sure to get the mortgage that is right for you. If you are intending on staying in the house for a long while, then a fixed rate mortgage is the way to go. On the other hand, someone who intends to move after a few years should take advantage of a low rate adjustable mortgage. This way you will save money.
The value of residential real estate is influenced by educational opportunities – that is, the kind of schools near a house will affect that house's price. Schools of any sort in close proximity are a plus, but the condition and reputation of the schools are also factors. Schools that parents love will boost a nearby house's value more than schools that parents consider troubled.
For buyers that have lost their home to foreclosure keep your dream alive. There may have been many reasons for losing the home such as job loss. Keep in mind that someday you will own a home again and places like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can give you that dream again. Just make sure that you start saving now because you might have a higher down payment because of it.
Consider moving to a new location. Parts of the country are more expensive to live than others. If you live in a particularly costly location, consider moving to someplace that has a lower cost of living. You will get more bang for your buck and be more financially secure in the future.
To save money when buying real estate you should look for an existing house. New construction is down but the builder still needs to make a profit which will limit how much they can negotiate the price. Someone reselling a home may have much more room to dicker.
Look into your credit score and history before applying for a mortgage. If you find that your score is less than 620, you may want to rethink buying a home at this time and work on building that score up to at least, 690. The better your credit score, the better interest rate you will get on your home.
Before you begin looking for a home to buy, know what you can afford. There are many affordability calculators online that take various factors into account, but they are still only guidelines. You may prefer to spend a little less on a house payment to make sure one spouse can stay home with kids, or you might want to go a little higher to avoid having to move again in a few years.
To save money on your financing when you buy real estate have all of your conversations with the mortgage broker documented by having everything done through email. By requiring that everything is in writing this way there will be back up in case they want to change the rate or terms at a later date.
Are you looking for a new home builder? You can look online and find builders in your area. You can also ask your friends and family for names of reputable builders that may have helped them. The National Association of Homebuilders can also help refer you to a builder.
When you are buying a house make sure to have a professional go over the contracts with you. Although you may be an intelligent person there are many clauses in contracts that would be difficult for someone other than a professional to recognize and understand. They will also be able to tell you if the property you are interested in is a good buy.
If you are struggling with financing to buy a new home, be creative. There are many ways beyond the standard 30-year, 20%-down mortgage to get financing for your home. Be sure to mention to your lender if you are a first-time homebuyer, as there may be programs available to you that way, as well.
When looking for a home, keep in mind the most important thing; location. Although you may find your dream home, it may not be in the best location. When looking for homes, the location is the one thing that cannot be changed. Once you buy a home in an area, you are stuck there unless you move. Be sure to take a look around the neighborhood before deciding on a home to buy.
Parking is always an issue when you rent a house or an apartment. Usually, you can park one car if you rent a one bedroom apartment and two cars when you rent a two bedroom one. Find out the kind of parking available. The parking may be open parking spaces, carports or garages. Choose the property with the parking options that you need.
When you are getting ready to invest money in a home, it is important that you understand all the additional costs that are entailed with the home you are ready to purchase. If you buy a home that needs some work, you may end up getting yourself in trouble if you do not have the money to get the home fixed up.
Make sure you digested all of the information you have just learned about buying real estate. The only way this information is going to be of use to you, is if you apply the information you just learned. So if you need to, come back and visit this article from time to time, to make sure that you remember the key points it presents, about buying real estate.

Broncos Seek To Halt Skid
- Updated: October 17, 2018
Four in a row. That's what the Broncos have done. After starting 2-0 for the sixth straight season, the Broncos have lost four games in a row. Last season, a historic eight-game losing streak tanked the season. At 2-4, having dropped four in a row, the Broncos are in danger of heading that way again. And now they get to face the Arizona Cardinals on a short week.
It hasn't been a great season for the Cardinals, either. They have new coaches and rookie Josh Rosen is still learning the NFL game. Aside from a win in San Francisco in Week 5, the Cardinals have stumbled. They come into Thursday's home tilt 1-5, among the worse records in the NFL. But they still have David Johnson, and that might be enough.
The Broncos, in addition to losing four straight, have been historically bad against the run the past two games. They allowed Isaiah Crowell to run for 219 yards, a career high and Jets franchise record, on just 15 carries in Week 5. In Week 6 at home, while they held the Rams' passing game in check, the Broncos allowed Todd Gurley to run for a career high 208 yards. And with only three days between games, there wasn't much time to work on a good fix.
The Cardinals haven't been good this season, but Johnson is an all world running back who's starting to find his form. He got into the end zone for the Cardinals in Week 6 and now returns home against a reeling rush defense in Denver. If they can't contain him, Johnson could make it a long night for the Broncos.
Meanwhile, the Cardinals' defense allowed Latavius Murray to go for 155 yards on Sunday. The Broncos are averaging 5.3 yards per carry through six weeks, so if the coaches can commit to the run, it could be a good night for rookie Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman. But given the recent splits, that could be a big if. And if the Broncos' losing streak extends to five games, it's going to be a long 10 days before the Broncos head to Kansas City to face the red hot Chiefs.
Fantasy Impact:
- It's hard to feel great about the Broncos' passing game, however Emmanuel Sanders has been a solid WR2 and Demaryius Thomas, especially given bye weeks, has been a decent flex of late. Case Keenum, while not being a great NFL quarterback, has been decent for fantasy the past two weeks, and the Cardinals' defense isn't what it once was. He might be a streaming consideration in deep 2 QB leagues.
- I like both Lindsay and Freeman as starts this week. I know Freeman disappointed last week, but this should be a better match-up and he should be relatively fresh after getting less than 10 carries Sunday. If the Broncos can keep it close, or build a lead, they can keep it on the ground. And Lindsay provides explosive burst in the rushing and receiving game, showing he doesn't need a lot of touches to return flex-worthy value.
- If you are in a deep league and desperate, Courtland Sutton remains an interesting dart throw. He had a long gain on Sunday, and had a TD catch in Week 5. He's getting plenty of snaps, and only needs one or two to salvage an OK deep league flex day.

NGA provides timely, relevant, and accurate geospatial
intelligence in support of national security.
Putting the power of GEOINT in your hands.
George Washington was many things – soldier, general, revolutionary, president and Founding Father, but did you know that he was also an accomplished surveyor and mapmaker? At the age of 17, Washington was the surveyor of Culpeper County, Virginia– a few miles away from NGA's Springfield, Virginia campus. During the Revolutionary War, he made his own field sketches of battlefields – an early example of geospatial information – aiding warfighters.George Washington's map, accompanying his "journal to the Ohio," 1754.

These two tremendous-enjoyable and efficient power walking routines will torch calories, enhance your cardio well being, and assist sculpt stronger muscle tissues. Suppose 30 seconds of a simple stroll after which 30 seconds of monster-measurement steps. Alternate with one-minute average-pace restoration walks. On alternate days, do average-depth activity for about 30 minutes per session. Walking can be a good way to get fit and stay healthy if you're pregnant.
It doesn't matter what tempo feels right, listening to your body and completing a proper heat-up and cool-down are all ways to stop accidents. Walking in shallow water at the seashore (weather allowing) or indoors in the pool can add a new challenge to your walking routine, because the resistance of the water makes your movements more difficult, even as the impact on your joints is lessened.
If the weather is unhealthy, try walking in a mall. Altering the direction you stroll—forward, backward, or sideways—keeps your mind alert, turns up your calorie burn, and activates some often-underused muscle mass, similar to your outer and interior thighs.
The workout: Warm up at a simple tempo for 5 to 10 minutes. Jeff Galloway's go-to strolling exercise: To introduce quicker segments into your walks, start by jogging for five to 10 seconds per minute for 10 minutes, gradually working your approach up to 30 minutes.
Maybe unsurprisingly, folks expend 2.5 times extra power working than strolling, whether or not that is on the monitor or treadmill. That means you may spend extra time running on the treadmill—and less time working to the doctor. To improve cardiovascular fitness you must stroll three to 4 days per week, 20 to half-hour at a really quick pace.

In the struggle to make Child Protective Services more "Protective" there are those within the CPS who need to be weeded out, but there are those so called "champions" who discredit, stalk, and even attack people who have real axes to grind, and real things to offer. Amy Charron is just one such blight on the effort.
Before I begin this tirade a disclaimer is needed. Amy, if indeed that is her real name because Brother Theo has uncovered at least five aliases she sports, fancies herself as a champion of childless mothers everywhere. Her web of lies, and half truths is so extensive that writing about her can lead you down so many rabbit trails you'll invariably quote something that you believed to be true, but winds up being some spin she generated that got included in some report that while appearing to be investigative journalism ends up being just another "Amyism." What I will try to do here is present the facts, dispel the lies, and give you my honest opinion from my personal experiences with this person.
My name is Wilbur Witt, Jr. As many of you know my pen name is Bill the Butcher, and I am a member of a bunch of merry men and women in something we call the Butcher Shop. I am a straight, conservative, retired, cigarette smoking, martini drinking Texan. The reason I'm telling you this is because I, too, have been stalked, and attacked by Amy Charron.
Amy's story line is the usual victim. Big bad CPS took her little girl, Markel, from a hospital while she sat in the waiting room, crying and begging Jesus for a miracle. The child was there for a rash on her butt. Amy claims that the Po Po wrestled her down, locked her in some room, under the pretense of changing the little girls's diaper, but in reality spirited little Markel away to the waiting arms of her Stepfather, the evil Doctor McDonald!
Now what follows are some murky facts, and my take. Amy had a history of symptoms of Munchausen by proxie. That wasn't little Markel's first visit to the ER. There was a history here. One of our sources told us that when Amy was informed that the child would be in the ER for about two hours, she took it upon herself to go on a dinner date with her latest "bodyguard." The waters become even more murky here, but the end result was little Markel ended up with the McDonalds, and Amy ended up doing one of her multiple stays in a Texas nut house! This particular event is the only evidence we've found that Markel even exists, but more about that later.
It was then that Miss Don Quioté began her assault on CPS windmills. Allegedly her Father was the late Mark Charron. I haven't verified this, but I'll give her a pass. You have to be careful with Amy because you can't really prove she's a woman. You gotta do a Crocodile Dundee. Just saying. But, she used this tale of linage to portray herself as the deprived princess of a hit songwriter, attempting to elevate her image to that of a singing star. Being famous is very important to Amy. She has left messages on my phone about talking to a "very famous" judge and a "very famous" lawyer, and telling me charges were being filed on me for stealing "thousands of dollars" in jewels, and her "evidence" proving her case. More about that later, too.
Amy began a Facebook presence. She supposedly was making a documentary out in Hollywood. That's another Amyism. She always says she's connected with "very famous" entertainers, and she's "going public" to expose her current enemy of choice. I myself have had that honor, and Mr. Robert Baty currently holds that position.
While Amy claims to have filed several "Very Famous Federal Cases," there is no real evidence of them, and most certainly Markel is not back with "Mommy Dearest!" While she claims to be filing charges with police on myself and others, each time she walks into a police station they show her the door. To explain this she claims the Houston PD has put hit men after her, indeed have even killed one of her "bodyguards," because she has the goods of former Governor Rick Perry. No doubt if there's a buck in it somewhere, Amy will claim to be the founder of the #METOO movement. The only "METOO" here is all the homeless men she's picked up, gone into a relationship with, and dubbed them the new bodyguard!
Amy dropped out of weight sometime around 2012. My bad. Freudian slip. I meant sight, not weight. She didn't drop any weight. I don't know where she went. Prison, Austin State Hospital, or just roaming the country in a schizophrenic haze, take your pick. She finally surfaced a couple years ago, complete with a new bodyguard, and called me. She told me the Houston Police Department had killed her former bodyguard and she had to leave Houston to hide until the US Army could get her out of the country for her safety. She asked if she could stay with me for a couple weeks. I was a bit put off by her story, but having been in country music for forty years I thought, "What the hell? Might be fun!" Well, she pulled up about five in the morning with a huge UHaul truck with her jee-jaws in it, accompanied by said bodyguard, who turned out to be a really nice guy, and one hell of a cook. She commenced to traverse Central Texas trying to sell this and that out of the truck, and when she finally got an offer of $250 for the whole shooting match she asked if she could store the stuff in one of my sheds. I had a friend take her to one of our houses and she unloaded everything into a workshed. They turned the truck in, and suddenly, she had to return to Houston to present evidence in a "very famous" court case. Guess the Houston hit man took a day off, huh? Only one itty bitty problem. They didn't have no money. So, for the investment of forty dollars I put the "Very Famous" Amy Charron on a bus back home. Hey, that rhymes. I need to remember that.
I truly thought that I'd seen the last of her. Still her stuff was in the shed. Surprisingly, I never, until much later, looked at it. The man I sent to unload it told me that outside of some big clock it was mainly a bunch of crap. It wasn't costing me anything so I just let it sit there in case Amy ever came for it. Then the attack began.
While my friend and I were cleaning soiled panties, condoms and drug paraphernalia out of the spare bedroom in my main house, bodyguard called me and left a message to call QUICK! Apparently "Very Famous" Amy Charron was in a "Very Famous" pickle down at the courthouse, or maybe the hit man had showed up, I don't know. I didn't call back. When nailed in her stalking, threats, and lies, Amy has a convenient dodge. She just checks into the local laughing academy, and the charges are dismissed. Brother Theo uncovered an extensive history of charges being leveled against her, subsequently all being dropped. In Texas you get a get out of jail free card if you're a licensed nut. Shucks, even my daughter in law iJackie even used that one. It works!
The calls began! She accused me of being a lying, drunken homosexual who had stolen "thousands" of dollars in jewels and other valuable items from her, and I needed to turn myself in before a "very famous" sheriff came to arrest me. Well, being a good dobee, I arranged bail and proceeded to the Po Po. Between all the laughter, and slapping of the knees, I quickly understood that Amy's phone calls had been just one big bi-polar delusion.
She attacked me for the better part of six months. During this time she skipped around the country. She went to Michigan where she stayed with, and left MORE stuff with a lady there, who called me and told me all about it. Then she raced out of there when she thought those police had put a hit on her. Oh, FYI, I've SEEN the real Amy Charron! Nobody is hitting on her, if you know what I mean. She got on some talk show in California (allegedly) where she called me everything but a white man, and ended up, you guessed it, back in Houston claiming to now be a victim of Hurricane Harvey. This got her thrown out of a Starbucks, and if y'all will note you did NOT see that on CNN. They opted for the two black guys instead. When I was told she was slandering me on the air in SoCal I finally went and took a look at the Queen's Jewels stored in my shed. CRAP! Just like my friend had said. Old clock, a few dishes, moth rated clothes, but one box of very interesting documents. Her so-called "evidence!" All showing a criminal, liar, former mental patient who had wove a web of deceit for years. I paid a crew to put it all on the curb and the big claw came around and picked it all up!
I forgot about Amy Charron until about three days ago. A woman I know in Cali sent me a note to call her, and a link to an article, complete with a debate between Amy and one Mr. Baty. The usual. She was telling him how "Very Famous" she was, how "Very Famous" he was not, and going on about her newest bodyguard. He simply asked her to produce her "evidence" which of course she couldn't because it's in the city dump. Her website and movie are in the dump too. The person who produced them, whom she didn't pay, sold me the rights to that years ago. After communicating with Mr. Baty, we decided to go public with this and put her con in the street where her junk had been.
The work with the CPS is arduous. The ranks are filled with mothers who, for one reason or another, have lost their children, and are trying to reunite their families. There is no easy fix. If a mother is innocent, it's bad, but even those who have made mistakes, but have towed the line, and may get their kids home again, it's worse. These people are broken, hurt, and afraid. They are perfect victims for people like Amy Charron! While sinking in an ocean of pain they will grasp for anything. Amy is not a life preserver, she's a shark. One of her scams is to set up funding operations for various causes. The money disappears, and then SHE disappears, often turning on the very people who'd sought her help. She will stalk, threaten, bully, and intimidate. They will pay her to get away. She will no doubt attack me again for this article. I want her to do that. This has to be finished, because someone has to put an end to the shenanigans of the "Very Famous" Amy Charron!
To this day we have not located, nor can we prove that there was ever a daughter, other than the last fateful visit to the ER. Markel has been disappeared. My theory is that the family got together and after many such episodes decided that something must be done. Doctor, and Mrs. McDonald, in their old age, took on a child to raise, and protect. And they erased all traces that would lead Amy into the child's again. Kudos to you, Dr. and Mrs. McDonald! The world needs more of you!
Charron bullying
Debate between Charron and Baty
Shorty after we ran this story Mr. Baty received these! This is the kind of people they are folks.

Property acquired by inheritance is a nonmarital asset, however, some or all of it may lose its character as nonmarital.
A recent client had inherited a sizeable sum of money during the course of a marriage. A marriage that was now ending. The good news is that property (money, real estate, etc.) acquired by bequest, devise, or descent, or property acquired in exchange for such property, is nonmarital property.
However, when the asset is commingled with marital funds and not held separately from marital assets, it loses its character as a nonmarital asset and becomes subject to equitable distribution. Further, the increase in the value of the asset during the course of the marriage (date of marriage to date of separation) is subject to equitable distribution.
For example, a certificate of deposit is marital property where a husband inherited it from his father and added that amount to joint funds to purchase a new home. It is commingled with marital funds and forever loses its character as a non marital asset. Even doing something such as placing the funds into a joint account, constitutes commingling of the inherited asset. The best solution to avoid this problem is to open a separate account in your own name.
If you have questions concerning the division of a marital or nonmarital asset you may contact Shaffer & Engle Law Offices, LLC (717) 268-4287.

On March 18, 2014, the Ninth Circuit issued an opinion in Haro v. City of Los Angeles. The Ninth Circuit found standard overtime rules under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) apply to fire department dispatchers and aeromedical technicians. This case distinguishes fire department dispatchers and aeromedical technicians from firefighters in calculating overtime.
Under the FLSA, employees who work more than 40 hours in a workweek are entitled to overtime pay. However, Section 207(k) exempts certain job classifications from this general rule. Section 207(k) requires certain employees, such as firefighters, to work a total of 212 hours in a 28-day period before earning overtime pay. In this case, the City of Los Angeles classified dispatchers and aeromedical technicians as employees "engaged in fire protection." Classifying dispatchers and aeromedical technicians as employees "engaged in fire protection" subjected them to the same overtime rules as firefighters.
L.A. City dispatchers and aeromedical technicians filed suit. They argued that they are not actively engaged in fire protection as defined by the FLSA, and should receive standard overtime pay. The City argued because dispatchers and aeromedical technicians contribute in a direct and vital manner to the fire department's suppression of fires, Section 207(k) applies.
Although dispatchers and aeromedical technicians occupy a vital role in fighting fires, they are not employees "engaged in fire protection" as defined by the FLSA. The Court pointed out dispatchers do not actively engage in fire suppression. Rather, dispatchers send firefighters to the scene to suppress the fire. Similarly, the Section 207(k) exemption does not apply to aeromedical technicians. Their duties include medical support, setting up equipment, loading hoses and fittings onto helicopters, filling helicopters with water, and establishing secure landing sites. These are not duties of an employee "engaged in fire protection." Since dispatchers and aeromedical technicians are not exempt under the FLSA, they were awarded backpay for unpaid overtime.
The City has participated in much FLSA litigation in recent years. The litigation caused the City to reconsider its pay practices for many employees, but the City never investigated its pay practices for dispatchers and aeromedical technicians. The Court concluded the City willfully violated the FLSA by failing to investigate whether dispatchers and aeromedical technicians were exempt under Section 207(k).
