I have a theory on climate change. I don't know how many of you had ever served in the Army or Marine Corps, but if you did you may have been trained in land navigation using a topographical map, compass, and protractor to find your way from Point A to Point B. When I was a Military Police instructor, I taught land navigation. Needless to say I am more than proficient in it. During this time as an MP instructor I was preparing for a new class of students. I was going through the stack of topographical maps of the area we used for the land navigation course where the students after 3 da

Look at the bottom of that news story and see they linked it to NBCMiami.com, their source.

It went over your head. Here's what you said. Now pay attention to what's in bold. You were talking in circles. Get it now? What about how much higher deductibles are now for most people on the Obama plan?

I'm glad I have a Mac.

I have it set to record. I'm going to watch Downton Abbey tonight at 9 and then watch Sons of Liberty later.

So JSC was reporting here a rumor as if it were fact. Thanks Kim for letting everyone know the truth.

You're talking in circles.

If the school district is wanting to reduce custodial costs by going outsourcing it, then they have sent out a request for proposal that includes all the services they want a cleaning company to perform. Before a cleaning company bids on the proposal, they require the complete square footage of each facility of the school district. They base almost everything off that square footage. The bidding companies know how much they need to charge per square foot to buff hallways. To determine the bidding price they will multiply that price by the square footage and then multiply by how many days a

I know exactly what I'm talking about as I worked as a project manager for ABM who had a custodial contract with Gainesville Public Schools. All the services the custodial company is going to do is specified in the contract. The contract between ABM and the Gainesville school district stated classrooms, gym, offices, and bathrooms would be swept every night; spot mopped nightly, and completely mopped once a week. The halls and bathroom floors would be swept and mopped nightly. Everything six feet and below will be dusted once a week. Everything above six feet dusted once a month. Windows

Day porters usually do the following during school hours: clean up messes and spills on floors as they occur, take out cafeteria trash and the tables clean during lunch, sweep and mop the cafeteria floor after lunch, clean up after a kid when they throw up, replace paper towels and toilet paper in bathrooms, etc. Elementary schools usually have 2 day porters, middle schools 3 or 4, and high schools 6-8. Night custodians work after school is dismissed: sweep and mop the classroom and hall floors, replenish bathroom supplies, clean the offices, take out all the trash from bathrooms, classro

When a house sits vacant because it was foreclosed on, the chances are the property taxes have not been paid. Also when property values took a big drop, it also reduced property taxes, thus resulting in less collected tax revenue for the school district. Most likely operational expenses for the school district have continued to rise while collected tax revenues have declined. How much has the cost of health care increased for the school district because of ObamaCare? The bottom line is expenses need to be reduced for the school district and they're doing what they can to do so. Wo

A company contracted to clean the schools will do all that as well. Most of these contracts are written to where the floors will be stripped of their wax once a year as part of the summer clean up. Floors will be swept and mopped daily. Hallway floors are usually buffed twice a week. Classrooms, bathrooms, gym, and cafeteria are all cleaned daily as well. I have yet to see any of these contract companies who provide cleaning services be a union shop. It would make them uncompetitive.

I've dealt with the issue you and I are discussing. It doesn't matter if the civilian is a DoD, Dept. of the Army employee, or a contractor you cannot make them clean the building as part of their duties. The reduction of government employees has been minimal compared to the reduction of military members. I've seen more military jobs become contractor positions than I have government employee jobs become contractor positions.

Most likely the police officer was driving at the speed limit while the car passed him. If that's the case then the car the police officer pulled over was speeding and in violation of the law. What's wrong with a police officer enforcing the speed limit laws? This is another attempt by TP to make police officers look like bad people.

PX and commissary employees have always been civilians. Downsizing of the Army under the Clinton administration resulted in a reduction of force where the Army had to choose what positions to give up. A lot of those positions were in food services resulting in the need to hire civilians to replace them. There are almost as many civilians working at the Pentagon as there are military personnel. You can't make the civilian personnel do janitorial duties on top of their job. That and because the building is so big they hire janitorial companies; except those companies can't clean in restrict

I don't recall any contract companies cleaning barracks and buildings at Ft. Gordon. The soldiers did it.

Usually what happens when a school turns cleaning over to a contract company is, they phase it in.

Have you noticed though not one single person from the anti-cops group has had anything good to say in these topics I started about cops doing good things? Very telling isn't it? CC posts a youtube video from The Blues Brothers movie that comes across as a snide commentary. Thanks gog8tors. I think you and your husband are good people as well.

Excuuuuuse me! They were criminals.

The James brothers - Frank and Jesse.

He can't. He's making an assumption, not stating fact.

You sure make every attempt you can to paint a broad picture saying otherwise. One of these days I hope you need a cop real bad and they don't show up.

I remember when I was a LEO. I started seeing a side of people I never noticed before. I'm not talking about criminals; I'm talking about a lot of those who call the police. There are times when all the police officers are busy on other calls when someone calls dispatch and wants to see a police officer because the neighbor's dog is barking. I remember once after clearing a call I had been on to see a man about a barking dog. When he saw me pull up in front of his house, he comes out and starts yelling, What the f**k took you so long? I called almost an hour ago." I told him we hav

I googled the police officer's name and discovered he's been tried twice both times resulting in mistrials. The two guys the police went to the house to arrest for murdering two white boys have been convicted and sentence to life without parole. Here's what one said upon his sentencing, Apparently he believes white lives don't matter.

Many people take their car a carwash to clean their car and have wax or a sealant sprayed on it during the process. Glass cleaner will not completely remove that from the windshield and that is big reason why people see streaks in their windshield after applying Rain X. This is why it is important to use a glass stripper to clean your windshield before applying Rain X to it. Some people use a mild abrasive cleaner to clean their windshield instead. If you do that, you should clean your windshield several times with glass cleaner afterwards to make sure you remove all the film an abrasive c
