Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Curious Case of Ms. Orange by Eddie Edwards Revealed: Judge Who Smacked Orange Administrator Willie Edwards Is Former Colleague. PolitickerNJ has been reporting the story of how former Orange Deputy Business Administrator Willis Edwards III has been ordered by a judge to pay the city back for the three years that he worked in city hall without the consent of the city council. The council is warring with Mayor Dwayne Warren, Edwards’ champion, and on February 18th, Superior Court Judge Christine Farrington sided with the council, ordering Edwards to repay the blue-collar Essex County town $268,750 for having collected a salary on an unapproved job. What has not yet been reported is that the judge in this case, Ms. Farrington, and the defendant, Mr. Edwards are former colleagues. Edwards worked at the Port Authority as manager of Customer Relations in the Tunnels, Bridges and Terminals Department, a clear reward for his service as a one-term Assemblyman (he’s related to Payne family) before being dumped from the ticked by Essex County Democrats. He was at the PA until being fired in 2010 as the new administration took over and began filling positions with its guys. Then Orange Mayor Eldridge Hawkins had lost the support of organized labor because he supported Gov. Christie’s pension reform measure, according to PolitickerNJ. This opened the door to Dwayne Warren ousting Hawkins in 2012. Warren then shocked just about everyone by himself endorsing Christie’s re-election in 2013. In a video before a giant Christie banner, Warren stood next to the gov and said “I have a partner in Governor Christie” and became a leader in the “Democrats for Christie” movement that helped Christie notch a resounding victory, including the broad tent that was supposed to buttress his case for national office. Meanwhile, Judge Farrington worked at the Port Authority from 2002 until her retirement in 2011, serving as Deputy General Counsel. She had a political background herself. Farrington had run against her Wyckoff neighbor Hank McNamara in 1997 State Senate Republican primary in LD 40, coming in a distant second. Before joining the PA Law Dept, she was counsel to the Port Authority Police PBA. Both Farrington and Edwards got their jobs courtesy of Jim McGreevey. Upon her retirement in July 2011, Farrington expressed an interest in a judgeship to Republican Assemblyman David Russo; Russo set up a meeting with Sen. Kevin J. O’Toole, who put Farrington’s name before the governor. Voila, a cushy superior court judgeship that will supplement her $18,685 PA pension. Farrington told a newspaper the judgeship was “a nice way to go out.” If it is odd that the judge in the case is a former colleague of the defendant, neither side seems to have objected and the City Council’s side is surely pleased with the result, which bolsters its continuing battle with Mayor Warren. Raised by a Serial Killer: Edward Edwards' Daughter Shares Guilt and Shame After Turning Him In. Growing up, April Balascio says she always had suspicions about her dad, handyman Edward Wayne Edwards. He was obsessed with murder and detective stories and loved to ingratiate himself with the cops, inserting himself into local investigations wherever they lived. Stranger still, Edwards would often move his family in the middle of the night without warning — Balascio’s first clue that something wasn’t quite right. “Kids aren’t stupid,” she tells PEOPLE. But it wasn’t until 2009, as a 48-year-old mom of three grown children, that Balascio decided to look deeper, sure that she had to act on her nagging concerns. After searching online for “cold cases” and towns that they’d lived in when she was a child to see if anything stood out, one did: the story of two teens in Watertown, Wisconsin, who had disappeared after a wedding reception in 1980, only to turn up stabbed and strangled three months later. Balascio knew her dad had worked at that same venue and she remembered their family fleeing Watertown two days after the teens vanished. She decided to call the detective on the case, which had recently been reopened, to see if maybe her dad could have had something to do with it. What happened next will be featured on Monday night’s episode of People Magazine Investigates, on Investigation Discovery, and is exclusively previewed above. • For more on Edward Edwards’ dark secrets and his daughter’s search for the truth, subscribe now to PEOPLE or pick up this week’s issue, on newsstands Friday. Here’s How ‘Real Housewives’ Star Tamra’s Husband Is Doing After Heart Surgery. Some episodes of The Real Housewives Of Orange County are all fun and games and woo woos, but the show has dealt with some serious stuff. From Vicki’s mom’s death to Tamra’s ongoing quest to regain her daughter’s trust, the heavy storylines have been peppered in enough to get us all to remember that the Real Housewives Of Orange County are, you know, real people. In the RHOC Season 13 premiere, viewers saw Tamra’s husband prepare for a scary procedure. But is Eddie Judge OK after his heart surgery? Yes, this man who owns a gym and is the fittest person I’ve ever seen on television needed heart surgery. The first episode of the season recounted what led up to this decision: When Eddie was working out, he started realizing that his heartbeats were 250+ beats a minute, which is, uh, very, very high. After going to the doctor, Eddie was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, also known as an irregular heartbeat. In order to fix said heart problem, Eddie went in for an ablation, which, according to Mayo Clinic, is a procedure that creates scar tissue in a heart to make the irregular beats stop. Tamra tried to keep strong for Eddie, but when he was in surgery, she told her mother that Eddie was freaking out about the mortality rate and saying that he didn’t want to die in surgery. My heart! This of course shook Tamra as well, though she was trying to stay strong for him. Eddie’s surgery went well, as the episode shows, but unfortunately, it wasn’t the end of the road for him. According to People , Eddie has had five procedures in six months — two ablations and three cardioversions, which is a procedure that shocks the heart to get it to beat in normal sinus rhythm again. In an interview with the Daily Dish , Tamra expressed how hard all of these surgeries have been on their family, especially because they moved into a new home in the middle of it all. She said: Eddie, Tamra, and some friends and family recently took a vacation to Mexico, and their Instagram shows what seems to have been a calm, relaxing time — which is exactly what Eddie needs. What has been good to see is how the other women on Real Housewives Of Orange County have been rallying around Tamra to support her going through all of this. Vicki, who Eddie still doesn't like after her friend Ricky spread rumors about him, was one of the first people on the phone to talk to Tamra and check in on Eddie's surgery day. It's a nice change of pace from all the screaming in each other's faces and vendettas and grudges. Tamra is getting the support she needs from her friends and family, Eddie is getting the support he needs from his family and friends, and let's just hope that Eddie's prognosis gets better soon. POLL: What is your typical RTH altitude setting? Not that I am defending Fly (far from it, if you read my other thread), but not sure what you mean when you say "with the Mini you don't" (and by extension the Air 2 I assume) . it does show you signal strength (# of satellites) and even (on the Air 2) the forward backward sensors. Not that you can see them clearly, or at all sometimes, because of the poor UI design. I love how on DJI's complete user guide for the mini it says: " Check important flight status parameters such as the GPS . <snip> .. via easy-to-read status indicators and icons . " And the picture they show right below it, you can barely make stuff out. Powell’s Impact Wrestling Hit List: Michael Elgin vs. Johnny Impact vs. Rich Swann, Tessa Blanchard vs. Jake Crist, Taya Valkyrie vs. Su Yung for the Knockouts Title, TJP vs. Ace Austin, Moose vs. Tommy Dreamer. Tessa Blanchard vs. Jake Crist: The problem I have with intergender wrestling is when it comes off as hokey and unrealistic due to a significant size and strength difference for the male wrestlers. I rarely have the same problem while watching Rey Mysterio face larger opponents because Mysterio is so good at what he does in terms of making it seem like he is making up for the size difference with his speed and high flying ability. Blanchard’s moveset is not similar to that of Mysterio and yet she still came off as a believable while in the ring with Crist. It probably helps that she’s been established as being the elite female talent and that Crist has been pegged as a lackey despite the fact that he and his brother are a terrific tag team. I’m not sure how I’ll feel when we inevitably get to Blanchard vs. Sami Callihan, but so far so good with Blanchard wrestling men in Impact.
