ARTIST INTERVIEW: Allen Frame
INTERVIEW WITH: Allen Frame
Self-portrait by Allen Frame (Mexico City, 2000)
Interview by: LD Beghtol
In our current New South Journlism issue, LD Beghtol reviews William Alexander Percy: The Curious Life of a Mississippi Planter and Sexual Freethinker by Benjamin E. Wise. The book is a new biography of Walker Percy's "funny uncle," painting a complex portrait of an unexpected character: a gay (and racist) intellectual and accepted member of the Greenville, Mississippi, landowning elite in the early twentieth century.
Here, Beghtol speaks with Allen Frame[1]—noted New York photographer, curator, writer/director, activist, and Greenville expat—about his mentor (and William Percy's protégé) Leon Koury, the artist community in Greenville in the late 1970s, and growing up gay in the South.
LD Beghtol: How and when did you meet Leon?
Allen Frame: I can't actually recall our first meeting or any getting-to-know-you period. I just remember how close we were and comfortable with each other. After graduating from college[2] I moved back to Greenville to do photography for almost three years, and that's when we got to know each other.
LDB: You've said he was a sort of guru to a "precocious group" of young artists in Greenville at the time.
AF: First, there was a group—a year older than me and very close to each other—that knew him as high-school students and included Marcius,[3] who studied sculpture with Leon, and Brooks Haxton, a poet; Kate Judy Betterton,[4] a novelist who was writing stories then; and Judi Horton, an artist. I was just among them occasionally, but one of the fun things we did together was play Murder in the Dark[5] at the local Little Theatre. Leon often did sets there, and the others sometimes worked on productions, too, so somebody had keys. Then around the time I got to know Leon, there were quite a few others often hanging out at his studio, including the photographer and chef Everett McCourt and the guitarist/composer Bo Ridgeway.
LDB: What was most interesting to you about Leon as a person? As an artist?
AF: He was fascinated by other people, as I am, and that created a basis for making work inspired by them.
LDB: Was he "out" in the contemporary sense of the word?
AF: Yes, and he had a certain notoriety because of that—and would get crank calls from desperate people who were aware of his gayness. But most of the young people hanging out at his studio were straight. Leon was not into younger guys, but he was willing to listen to their angsty torment at times and was a nurturing, reassuring figure. His studio was a safe place to be. We valued Leon's worldly experience of having lived in New York for years and considered him a creative role model.
Leon Koury photographed by Allen Frame (Greenville, Mississippi, circa 1972)
LDB: What was it like being young and gay in the South in the late '60s?
AF: Leon and his brother Mike had had a bar called The Orbit Lounge where the local hipsters would hang out, and although it was not a gay bar per se, it was gay friendly. It was ahead of its time, but they closed it before I ever met Leon, and it became his studio. Going back to Greenville after college, I discovered how many gay people there were there, and how many were in the closet. Greenville was known as a progressive cultural oasis[6] in the Deep South, and was a less hostile place for people who were different—whether gay, creative, or eccentric.
LDB: Leon had a reputation for being metaphysical. Was that an influence on you?
AF: Yes, he taught me astrology and discussed other occult ideas with me. Generally, he was very philosophical.
LDB: How did your relationship with him change over time?
AF: After I moved to New York in 1977, I would sometimes telephone him and would always visit him when I was back in Mississippi. Around 1990, Leon gave me some of his photographs taken in the 1950s in New York and New Jersey to make work with. In 1995 I had an exhibition called Buddy and Frank at Fotofeis, a photo festival in Scotland, of images of Leon's boyfriend Buddy in the 1950s paired with mine of my then-boyfriend Frank[7] from the 1980s and '90s—conceptual diptychs that matched pictures of our lovers in the same sorts of situations.
LDB: One of the major themes in your work is memory—of people, of places and events, and of personal narratives both public and private. Was this something that began to develop in your youth, or did it become significant after you left the Delta?
AF: Memory is related to history and storytelling, which are Southern preoccupations, so I think culturally I was predisposed toward all that. And some of the Southern writers were huge influences on my sensibility—from Faulkner, Carson McCullers, Tennessee Williams, Eudora Welty, and Truman Capote, to the ones of my parents' generation like Walker Percy and Ellen Douglas.
LDB: Your generosity towards other artists is legendary, as is your largess as a teacher—both in and out of the classroom. Do you see this as an extension of your relationship with Leon and his mentor, Will Percy?
AF: It suggests the basis for my affinity with Leon, in that we both were deeply interested in other people and the stories of their lives. I think my impulse to want to help the people around me stems from my growing up in a kindergarten run by my mother[8] in our house. It was for five-year-olds but she put me in it when I was two. It gave me a strong sense of the group, and of peers, and community.
LDB: How has this informed your work?
AF: Many artists develop in the context of a group or school. My formative experience as a photographer was as part of the Boston scene,[9] studying with Henry Horenstein, with Nan Goldin as a friend and fellow student. Then in my early New York days, most of my friends were artists, writers, and actors. In the '90s I curated a lot of shows and worked with arts non-profits and met many more artists that way. Then through teaching,[10] which I started to do in 1993, I have gotten to know many artists—photographers especially—of a different generation. Being in the middle of an artist-centered scene keeps me stimulated and helps me be more productive.
[1] Full disclosure: I met Allen Frame in Memphis in 1993, when he and a disparate group of other artists, curators and patrons formed Delta Axis, a Memphis-based arts organization that aimed to exploit—in a good way—the enduring affinities that exist between the Deep South, New York City, and the international contemporary art scene. Over the next two years I volunteered for general grunt work (gallery sitting, chauffeuring visiting artists, etc.) and designed promotional materials for various events. Major exhibitions from those years include Art as Artifact, Landscape and the Metaphysical, and A Line Drawn—which, variously, presented works by Andras Borocz, Robert Shatzer, Pam Butler, Danny Tisdale, Gabriel Orozco, Kiki Smith, Mariette Pathy Allen, Pinkney Herbert, Sara Good, and many other well-known and emerging artists. Allen was also enormously supportive of my own first efforts in critical writing, as well as my often absurd attempts at producing and curating exhibits—anything, really, to get people off the chaise and into the larger world. And when it was time for me to fly away, he very politely told me so.
[2] Harvard, class of '73.
[3] Robert Marcius, who has designed jewelry, furniture, and objets d'art for Cartier, Tiffany, and other high-end clients.
[4] Her novel, Where the Lake Becomes the River: A Novel in Stories (Novello Festival Press, 2008)—an atmospheric coming-of-age story set in Mississippi during the Civil Rights movement—includes the idiosyncratic character Luigi Donatello, modeled after Leon Koury, who paints a mural of Jesus on a small-town grocery-store wall.
[5] Not the 1983 book of stories by Margaret Atwood or some obscure mystery flick by Dagen Merrill; rather, a variant of Hide and Seek involving a designated Killer and a Detective—all other participants are potential corpses—best played in utter darkness, such as might be found in a rural Little Theater.
[6] In 1939, Will Percy invited Hodding Carter II to launch the Greenville Delta Democrat-Times, which soon became an influential liberal newspaper. In 1946 Carter won the Pulitzer Prize for his outspoken, often contentious editorials.
[7] Frank Franca—also a photographer and teacher, who in 1990 co-created (with Allen and Nan Goldin) Electric Blanket, a photo-slide installation projection about AIDS. Featuring the work of over two hundred photographers, Electric Blanket subsequently toured the world and received funding from the NEA, NYSCA, ProHelvetia, The British Council, and other arts organizations.
[8] Wade Frame, who as a student interviewed Will Percy for The Pica, Greenville High School's newspaper; she said it was a terrible experience, as Percy "didn't help her at all!"
[9] A radical, pre-punk assemblage which also numbered Jack Pierson, Mark Morrisroe, Stephen Tashjian (aka Tabboo!), David Armstrong, Pat Hearn, and Gail Thacker among its ranks.

Short for fourth generation, 4G is an ITU specification that is currently being developed for broadband mobile capabilities. 4G technologies would enable IP-based voice, data and streaming multimedia at higher speeds and offer at least 100 Mbit/s with high mobility and up to 1GBit/s with low mobility (nomadic).
4G is an IP-based and packet-switched evolution of 3G technologies (such as WCDMA, HSDPA, CDMA2000 and EVDO) that uses voice communications. A number of technologies considered to be 4G standards include Long Term Evolution (LTE), Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB) and the IEEE 802.16 (WiMax) standard.
While 3G is defined by ITU as IMT-2000, IMT-Advanced is being studied by ITU as 4G. IMT is now used as the generic name for 3G and 4G.

December 20, 2014
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- House leaders who last year fended off a bill to overrule businesses seeking to ban firearms in their parking lots appear to be giving up the fight.
House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick of Chattanooga says he and fellow Republicans just want to put the measure behind them so they can move on to other more pressing issues.
In McCormick's words: "We can argue about it and then pass it, or we can just pass it."
The bill that passed the Senate on a 28-5 vote this week is up for its first House committee hearing on Wednesday.
The measure opposed by the likes of FedEx and Volkswagen would allow people with handgun carry permits to store loaded firearms in their vehicles no matter where they are parked.

Report a Problem With A Review
of Malt River Brewing Company - Latham, NY
Complete the form below to tell us about the problematic review for Malt River Brewing Company, which says:
"Stopped by this past Sat. afternoon while visiting. Malt River have ceased brewing their own beer and sold their brewing equipment. Of the relatively large selection of drafts they did have, they had one remaining keg of their own - a Cream Ale - which was very good. While the draft and bottle selection was nice, and the environment remains plesant, it is sad to see the Capital District lose both Malt River and the Big House Brewery in recent times. Maybe their closings will, in the future, open the door for someone else to compete with Browns and the Pump Station. If not, it would be nice, for Malt River, being a former brew pub, to sell some local drafts. "

These curtains are wonderful! We noticed a big difference the first night they were hanging up. It gets cold here in No. California but the curtains help keep the heat from the fireplace in and therefore we are using less wood! Also, the "blackout" effect is super. Close the curtains during the day and you have a movie theater in your own living-room (or whatever room you have the curtains in). The quality of the curtains is outstanding they are heavy-duty without being heavy. I love the grommet feature, it made installing them a breeze and opening and closing the curtains is simply a pull in either direction. What more can I say? I am going to buy more of these curtains for my bedrooms because I love them so much. They are so economical and they keep the heat in. I can't wait to see how they perform in the summer as our windows are West facing and get the full blast of the summer sun - I'm certain they will make a huge difference. Buy some today!Read More
Want a better nights sleep - look no further!
I can't believe I went so long without blackout/thermal curtains in the childrens room. It has been one of best buys ever. At night the curtains block out nearly all of the city buildings lights and during the day, there is a soft hue of red in the room during nap time. I think the curtains have really enhanced the quality of their sleep. After the initial wash out of the packaging they came out of the wash great. They will be easy to care for when the need arises to clean them again in the future. There is not a separate blackout curtain material sewn as a lining, rather the material is of a thicker quality and is one piece. I think they will stand up to wear and tear of being in a child's room. The pair in the curtain adequately covers a 54inch window opening, but any larger window you might want to look at getting two pairs and joining them or look for wider curtains in order to get good window coverage. I'm thrilled with this purchase.Read More
Love them
I ordered several of these for home. I ordered the beige color, but it was more of a camel color, to my delight. They are so SOFT ! I love that the front and back are the same, as we are using a few sets as room dividers at night. The only reason I didn't give them a 5 stars is because we had a heck of a time getting the wrinkles out. We tried several times in the dryer with a damp cloth, but that didn't work. My sweet husband ending up steaming each wrinkle out with a steamer--it took an hour. They look great now !!Read More
When the curtains arrived, I immediatelhy hung them up. I did not have to iron out the creases as they fell out upon hanging the curtains. Have received rave reviews on how the curtains looked. My neighbor bought the same curtains for an astronomical price and was visibly upset when I revealed the price I paid to her. Great bargain and the quality is just great. Thanks O.com.Read More
Great fabric, color off
The color is not a true Olive but has a lot of blue/grey tones. Worked with colors in my rug but not for someone who wants a true olive. Nice Fabric. For this price, very nice looking.Read More
they do what they say they will do!
These do what they say! They block the light perfectly. I am a nurse working nights and need to sleep during the day. These really block out the light and I can get to sleep and stay asleep!Read More
Not what I was looking for
The color that I ordered wasn't so much beige but more so yellowish. So please be aware that the color will definitely be different than that in the picture. I had to return these.Read More
Great curtains

Awesome blackout curtains!
Not only do these curtains block out the light from the sunrise from my 2 year old's window but in the afternoon they make her room so dark that it's like nighttime & I can finally get her to take naps again.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello joannepitts, unfortunately, those are not an exact match. We do not currently have this in a 72 inch length. Thanks for shopping with us! A.S.
How much do the curtains weigh? I would have to use command strips to hang them and I'm wondering if they will be too heavy with a rod beign supported by two 5lb command strips
We are still researching this and should have the answer shortly.
Hello xoxodolphins06, the item weight is three pounds each. This set comes with two panels of the curtain, so the total weight is six pounds. Thank you for shopping with us!
I think they would work, although remember they have grommets. They aren't too heavy!
How far does this curtain rod project out from the wall?
Hello customer711, This does not include a curtain rod. I hope this information helps. Thank you for shopping with us.
Depends on the curtain rod you bought.
Where can I find the curtain rod shown with the cardinal red grommet top thermal insulated curtains?
Hello customer711, these curtains are beautiful! Unfortunately, we do not currently have this rod for sale. I apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for shopping with us.
Hello yax8, unfortunately, this item is out of stock. We currently do not have inventory to check, and cannot guarantee the item will be restocked. Thank you for shopping with us.
My apartment requires me to have a white backing. Do these have a white backing?
No, these do not have a white lining.
Is the 95 inch length from the top to the floor or from the grommet to the floor. I need a definite 95 inch curtain and I am afraid that with the grommet, it may be too short.
Thank you for your question ahuutobart. The 95 inch length for our curtains, is measuring from the top to the floor including the grommets. Have a great day.
Should be from the top of the curtain fabric line to the bottom of the fabric line.
Hi. I am interested in ordering the burgundy drapes but need to know if it is dull or shiny finish?
Thank you for your question ilyawborr28. The Grommet Top Thermal Insulated 95-inch Blackout Curtain Panel Pair has a shiny finish. Have a great day.
I have cream and brown - the brown seemed shinier when I opened the package and I thought I was going to immediately send them back, however, when hanging in a paneled den it is a moderate shiny.
Plan for a shiny finish. Think about how satin fabric looks.
They're more of a satin finish. There's definitely a sheen to them but it's faint.
What is the brand? Thanks.
Thank you for your question johanna123. We are unable to disclose the manufacturer of some of our products; however, Overstock.com stands behind every product we sell. When necessary we can contact suppliers if a product issue arises. Have a great day.
How much does the pair weigh? Thanks.
Thank you for your question johanna123. The shipping weight of the Grommet Top Thermal Insulated 95-inch Blackout Curtain Panel Pair is 7 pounds. Have a great day.
Pretty light, they're made of a kind of stretchy feeling fabric, not as heavy as you would think for black out curtains.
curtain size rod needed?
Hello idill95, The grommet hole size is 1.6-inch diameter. So you would need a pole smaller than 1.6 inches. Have a good day!
I will be ordering the 95" grommet top thermal insulated blackout curtain panel. I want the curtains to slide open and closed easily. I will also nee to cover 150 inches. Can you recommend a curtain rod for me?
Hello kathys50, We appreciate your inquiry. Considering the size that is needed, the item under SKU#13197212 may work well. We hope you have found this information helpful. Thank you for shopping with us.
When will turquoise be available? Thanks!
Hello cali987, We apologize, but we do not have that information currently. We restock when an item becomes available. Thank you for shopping with us.
I really want turquoise too! If you get them in, I'll have two sets so you have a couple of orders already!
Do they comeback in a pair or do I have to order two too cover up a window like the pictures? Jonas, Sweden
they come in a pair - but you may still need to cover the window to get ample coverage
They come in a pair and are fairly wide. We covered a three foot window with probably a foot of fabric to spare on each side.
is the back side finished? i need a double sided drape

I have purchased these for my home, my mother's, and my grandmother's in 3 different colors. They are definitely a casual looking fabric and not shiny at all. They would be great in a boy's room.
this is the WRONG curtain. these are shiny! avoid for his room.
What finish color is the ring? Do you have it ivory panels with silver or brushed nickel rings?
Hello, jk921. Hope your day is going well. The ring color is antique bronze. That is the only grommet ring color, a nickel finish is not available in this item. Thank you for shopping with us and please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
are these machine washable?
Absolutely. I first put each panel in the dryer with a damp towel for 5 minutes or so to remove wrinkles before first hanging. Works great.... Then once a year, I wash on cold and dry .... remove a little damp and hang... Perfect!

FAQs about Thermal Insulated Curtains
Create privacy and save energy when you buy thermal curtains for your home. They're made of materials that provide a layer of insulation that prevents hot or cold air from entering or escaping a room through a drafty window. While thermal curtains are often made of heavy materials, like cotton or velvet, to regulate the amount of light that comes into the room, you can find curtains in a variety of fabrics that go with any room decor. Learn more about these curtains by reading the answers to frequently asked questions about thermal curtains.
How to Measure for Curtains
Curtains add privacy and style to a room, but before you buy a set, you'll need to know which size is right. You'll find that curtains usually come in lengths of 63 inches, 84 inches, 95 inches, 108 inches, and 120 inches. The length you choose will depend on the look that you want as well as the placement of your curtain rod.
How to Install Blackout Curtains
Blackout curtains can keep a room cool and dark even when it's bright and sunny outside. A completely dark room is a wonderful thing if you have a job that requires you to work all night or even if you just want a dark room for watching a movie when it's light outside. In addition, blackout window treatments help you conserve energy by keeping heat in and cold out or vice versa. You have two choices when it comes to installing blackout curtains: You can buy curtains that come with blackout liners already sewn in, or you can add panels of blackout fabric to the curtains you already own.
How to Hang a Valance and Curtains
Hanging a valance and curtains over your window will add dimension, texture and style to any room. Window curtains with a valance give your window treatments a finished, designer look. If you want to block out light, a valance and full-length blackout panel curtain is your best choice. If you are more interested in decoration and only need to block minimal light, then a valance over sheer curtains is a good choice. It's important to measure the window and decide what type of curtains you want before you buy the curtain hardware. A cafe rod will be sufficient to support a sheer curtain, but you will need a stronger curtain rod to support heavier fabrics such as blackout panels. Also, the larger the window, the sturdier the curtain rod will need to be.
How to Adjust Tension Rods
Curtains are a great way to accent the decor in every room in the house. Tension rods, also called spring rods, are curtain hardware which allow you to hang window curtains, wall curtains or shower curtains without installing curtain rod hardware on the walls. If an existing tension rod slips or if you want to change the curtain panels or add curtain rings, you may need to remove and adjust the rod before putting it back in place. Tension rods are positioned between two facing surfaces, such as the interior frame of a window or the opposing sides of a shower cubicle.
Tips on Using Cloth Shower Curtains
Shower curtains drastically change the look of a bathroom, and cloth shower curtains can take bath decor from mediocre to magnificent.

Cloth shower curtains have reemerged as one of the most sought after bath products in recent years. While vinyl shower curtains are practical and low cost, a cloth shower curtain is a great choice if you're concerned with making your bathroom a place you love to be.

MRSC has joined with Janice Corbin and Janet May, Partners, Sound
Employment Solutions, Rhonda Hilyer, President, Agreement Dynamics,and Bruce Schroeder, Employment/Litigation Attorney,
Summit Law Group, to bring you the "HR Advisor" article series on employment and labor law issues
affecting Washington local governments. The "HR Advisor" will feature
a new article each month with timely HR management information and advice you
can use.*

Employment/Litigation Attorney
Summit Law Group, PLLC
Among the most important differences between managing a public sector work
environment and an analogous private sector setting is the applicability of constitutional
rights in the public sector. The Constitution protects citizens from actions by the
government. Because in the public sector the government is the employer, public sector
employees enjoy constitutional rights in the workplace that their private sector
counterparts do not. Public sector employees are protected, for example, from unlawful
searches, from losing their jobs (in many cases) without due process, and from being
forced to incriminate themselves in criminal misconduct. The last of these rights - the
Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination - is one of the more confusing and
misunderstood procedural rights of public sector employees.
Through a long and winding series of court decisions dating back to 1966, the
protections afforded to public sector employees' Fifth Amendment rights have been
distilled into the so-called "Garrity Rights," named after a Supreme Court decision that
first addressed the issues. Because Garrity Rights are only implicated by situations
involving unlawful activity, they arise only in circumstances where the misconduct is
most serious and where employers can least afford to make a procedural error in an
investigation or in administering resulting discipline. Therefore, understanding
employees' Garrity Rights and mastering the steps necessary to preserve them are very
important skills for public sector managers.
The Garrity case involved a state investigation into alleged ticket fixing by police
officers. The officers were informed during the investigation that they must respond to
questions during the investigation, and that failing to do so would result in discharge for
insubordination. Statements made by the officers during the investigation were then used
in subsequent criminal prosecutions. In a challenge to their convictions made by the
affected officers, the Supreme Court determined that the incriminating testimony had
been obtained from the officers by "coercion," and that such coercion violated the Fifth
Amendment. The Court determined that the compelled confessions could not be used in
a criminal matter. The essential holding of Garrity, as the Supreme Court made clear in a
number of related cases, is that a public sector employee cannot face a "substantial
economic penalty" (usually discharge) for refusing to waive his or her privilege against
Garrity spawned an entire body of jurisprudence addressing such issues as when
has someone waived their privilege against self-incrimination, when has such a waiver
been forced, and what must an employer do to ensure that no waiver has been forced?
While some nuances associated with these issues remain subject to debate, as a practical
matter the boundaries of the Garrity Rights can be readily defined.
The privilege against self-incrimination does not apply in garden variety
employment settings. It applies only when the matters at issue involve criminal
misconduct. As a result, employers investigating misconduct short of unlawful behavior
can (and usually should) insist that employees answer their questions. Employees who
refuse to answer despite an order to do so then face serious discipline or termination for
Applying this same set of tools to workplace investigations into criminal matters,
however, leads to exactly the type of coerced waiver of the privilege against selfincrimination
that Garrity precludes. To preserve that privilege, yet still force an
employee to answer questions under threat of discipline for refusing to answer, the
employee must be provided immunity from the use of any forced statements (or resulting
evidence) in a subsequent criminal prosecution. Courts have used these principles to
create a drill supervisors should follow whenever an investigation touches on criminal
If, having followed this drill, an employee refuses to respond to questions, he or she can
be terminated (or otherwise disciplined) for insubordination. Of course, statements made
by an employee who complies with an order to answer questions are fair game in
supporting a discipline case against the employee.
The privilege against self-incrimination is just that: the choice to refrain from
saying something that will be used to obtain a criminal conviction. The privilege does
not protect someone from prosecution based on other evidence, and for that reason the
Garrity Rights provide only "use," as opposed to "transactional," immunity to an
employee. Use immunity only protects an individual from prosecution because of the
evidence he or she divulged; the broader transactional immunity protects an individual
from prosecution entirely.
Courts have reached different conclusions over whether use immunity under
Garrity is "self-executing" or whether employers must affirmatively provide it to an
employee. In either case, managers wading into an investigation into potentially criminal
matters should consult with the prosecutor first. The prosecutor is the only person in a
position to affirmatively deliver immunity, so promising it without signoff by the
prosecutor is at least risky, and may lead to subsequent wrangling over such issues as
whether interview notes can be subpoenaed by the prosecutor in a subsequent criminal
case. There are also a number of strategic considerations a prosecutor will want to weigh
in conducting a criminal investigation, and the extent to which immunity is a tool in that
investigation is a decision the prosecutor should help make. Finally, consulting the
prosecutor may reveal that a criminal investigation is nearly complete, and that a brief
delay in an internal investigation will permit the employer to rely on a criminal
investigation as part of its internal review.
The fact that an employer can provide use immunity to an employee, and thereby
force the employee to answer questions about unlawful misconduct, does not mean that
the employer must do so. While certainly a less preferred approach, and probably one to
be used only when an employer cannot work out a grant of immunity with the prosecutor,
Garrity permits an employer to ask employees questions about unlawful misconduct
related to their work provided that it does not order the employee to respond to the
questions. To avoid creating the misimpression in the employee's (and possibly an
arbitrator's) mind that the employee is being compelled to answer, an employer
conducting an investigation in this manner should explain to the employee at the start of
the investigation that he or she is free to refuse to answer questions, and that any answers
given may be used in a subsequent prosecution. The employer should also explain that,
at the end of the investigation the employer is going to decide whether there is cause for
discipline based on all of the information received, including any information the
employee chooses to offer in response to questions.
Keep in mind that the employer always bears the burden of proof in a case
challenging whether there is cause for discipline. Therefore, where an employee has
been given the option to respond to questions but not forced to do so, the employer
should proceed with discipline only if the other available evidence provides cause to
discipline the employee. Put differently, discipline should follow where there is
persuasive evidence of misconduct that the employee chose not to rebut; discipline based
on an employee's refusal to rebut allegations that are not otherwise proven will be very
difficult to sustain.
Fortunately, situations implicating an employee's Garrity Rights come along
rarely. For that reason alone, supervisors would be well advised to seek help from human
resource and legal advisors when such a situation arises. Beyond that, and as mentioned
above, navigating through an investigation into potentially criminal matters without
consulting the authorities responsible for prosecuting those crimes is a bad idea. A
coordinated approach between a law enforcement investigation and the employer's
internal investigation will result in better fact finding and limit the prospect of a flawed
criminal or discipline case.

Veterinary Technicians, Illinois, and Careers in Veterinary Care
In today's difficult economic environment, finding a long term, dependable and well paying profession is a priority for newly graduated students and older professionals who are seeking to change professions alike. Fortunately, a number of vet tech programs exist to help students become qualified veterinary technicians in Illinois.
These vet tech schools provide a gateway to the student who wishes to become qualified to take the examination that is needed for the candidate to be licensed as a veterinary technician. In doing so, the student can then enter a highly regarded and well-compensated field of veterinary medicine.
Becoming a Veterinary Technician
In order to become a certified veterinary technician in Illinois and in Chicago, the candidate must have graduated with a high school diploma or GED, be at least 18 years old, and have completed the required courses.
The vet tech schools in Illinois that offer these programs must have received their accreditation from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).
After fulfilling these goals, the candidate must then complete a comprehensive national exam. In order to help their students, many vet tech programs include classes and study plans to prepare the student for the exam. After completion, the graduate will receive his or her license to practice as a certified veterinary technician by Illinois.
The Duties of a Certified Veterinary Technician
Veterinary technicians handle a wide variety of duties under the general supervision of a veterinarian. In general, certified veterinary technicians help ensure the over all health and wellness of the animals under the veterinarians care, while also assisting the vet in any medical procedures that are performed on an injured or ill animal. Their general duties are given here:
- A certified veterinary technician is responsible for the initial examination of any animal, including establishing the animal's baseline health condition and verifying any signs of illness or injury. In addition, the technician may also interview the owners of the animal in order to determine any other facts that may be relevant to the animal's current condition.
- The technician will be in charge of preparing and administering medications to the animal, whether orally or by injection. In addition, the veterinary technician will observe the animal in order to evaluate the effects of the medication. For animals that are being returned home, the technician may instruct the owners in effectively and safely administering the medication that is being sent home with the pet.
- A veterinary technician will be responsible for assisting the veterinarian before and during surgical procedures, as well as observing the animal during the postoperative period. This can be especially important as the animal's condition may change suddenly after a surgery.
- When injured or ill animals are brought in, it will be the technician's responsibility to provide immediate first aid in order to stabilize the animal until the veterinarian can provide long-term treatment.
- In farms or other businesses where animals are in use, the veterinary technician may be required to administer vaccines and verify the general health and wellness of the animals, as well as ensuring that their conditions conform to state and local regulations.
Finally, while veterinary technicians may perform many functions, they are forbidden by state law from issuing a diagnosis or prognosis for an animal, prescribing drugs for the animal, or engaging in surgery. It is also expected that the veterinary technician will work under the over all supervision of a veterinarian.
Advancement Opportunities for Veterinary Technicians
As well as the initial career options for certified veterinary technicians, a veterinary technician can choose to specialize in other fields. These fields include surgical veterinary technicians, or technicians specializing in clinical medicine, oncology or other specialties.
While they do require more experience, as well as continuing education at vet tech programs, becoming a certified veterinary technician is the required first step for those interested in progressing onward to these specialties.
Career Options for Certified Veterinary Technicians
A certified veterinary technician currently faces extremely promising career prospects. With a society that places a high value on the health and happiness of all types of pets, there are an increasing number of potential jobs available to veterinarian technicians.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 52 percent increase in the number of jobs available for this field by 2020, which is far beyond the national average for other careers. In many cases, fewer technicians are graduating every year than the field requires, which increases the demand for newly certified veterinary technicians.
In addition to long-term employment options and very favorable salary prospects, the certified veterinary technician has the advantage of working in a field that possesses a great deal of respect from the local community. In fact, vet tech schools in Illinois not only position the student to become a well-paid professional, they firmly establish the certified veterinary technician as a valued member of the local community.
Modern society considers the suffering of pets to be nearly the same as the suffering of their owners. By entering a profession that seeks to eliminate that suffering, a certified veterinary technician also works to reduce the suffering of the owners of these beloved animals.

Color: Pastel Blue Base with Pink Top. Hand Painted Dogwood Design in Deep Pink, Yellow bud and light Green trim.
Circa: Mid 1940s
Mark: Hull U.S.A. 509 - 6 1/2"
Condition: This lovelyHull Dogwood Handled Vaseis inUndamaged Condition without chips, cracks, or mold damage. It is free of repairs. The pretty hand painted pattern and colors are nice and even. A perfect addition to a Hull collection. Check out the pictures provided to see the backstamp and the other side. This is a real nice vase.
About: Dogwood #509 Vase: 6 3/4" H. - 6 1/4" W.
Dogwood (Mid 1940s) - Dogwood can be found in pink and blue pastel and in yellow and green (a light greenish blue) pastel. This beautiful pattern can be distinguished by a pink and a yellow Dogwood flower, or bud embossed on each piece. It is interesting to note that the artist who designed this beautiful pattern added one or two open flowers to the design. If the shape did not lend itself well to two open flowers one pink open flower is found with a yellow bud included in the pattern.
The A.E. Hull Pottery Company (later the Hull Pottery Company) was founded in Crooksville, Ohio in July of 1905. They produced down-to-earth stoneware for practical use. Some items produced at this time included vases, kitchenware, and jardinieres. Items such as toilet seats were made for utilitarian purposes.
As early as 1907 the company began to branch out into other areas. Semi-porcelain pieces were produced for home, restaurant, and hotel use.
The 1930s were good years for Hull Pottery. They produced numerous ovenproof kitchenware patterns. Cinderella Blossom was one of their more popular patterns from this time period.
Hull pottery became a well known name and produced florist wares, novelty vases, jardinieres, and a wide range of other useful pottery pieces.
From the late 1930s through the mid 1940s Hull made vases in various sizes. The popular Red Riding Hood Cookie Jar was patented in June of 1943. Because of the success of the cookie jar, other shapes were made in the Red Riding Hood line. These blanks were sent to the Royal China and Novelty Company in Chicago for floral decal application and painted decorations. During this time, Hull also introduced its popular piggy banks, and began production of lamps.
Due to the lack of competition from imports, the war years were a big boon for Hull. Hull was sold through various retail stores such as F.W. Woolworth Company, G.C. Murphy, and Kresges to name a few.
Their matte glazed pastel tinted art ware with floral designs such as Magnolia began flooding the market. These Art Ware designs are now the most collectible of all the Hull pottery wares. Hull's pastel art pottery continue to flourish for the next few years, but in June of 1950 production suddenly came to an end when the plant was destroyed by flooding which caused a massive fire.
Because of their reputation and popularity the plant was rebuilt and reopened in January of 1952. The new plant was modern and automated. As a result, Hull was able to turn out as many as 100,000 pieces of pottery a week.
In the 1960s American ideals were headed toward casual or easy living. The Hull Pottery Company observed this trend and started producing a line of heavy ware which was designed for daily use. This line was initially made in Mirror Brown, but was soon made in 4 new colors. These new colors were called Rainbow colors. This line continued to be popular for many years.
Due to overseas competition the Hull Pottery Company was forced to close in 1986. Hull has left us with a long colorful history of beautiful collectible art pottery.

As 2013 HP Discover 2013 commences in Las Vegas, I also realize that CIOs can apply these tips following a New Style of IT that Whitman outlined at HP Discover 2012 in Frankfurt. Let's see how.
CIOs must drive Enterprise IT to innovate and grow their core competencies, using the next generation of technologies. They must do so with a cooperative mindset, while continuously refining their focus areas to maximize their ROI.
How about you? What steps are being taken by your enterprise to maximize the use of its most valuable resources? Have you considered these time management tips from Whitman? Please let me know.

The key to successful time management is planning and then implementing the work at the planned time. Time management is mainly depends on planning activities into time slots and doing those activities without interruptions.
To manage your time, I would suggest to use Replicon's ( http://www.replicon.com/olp/online-time-recording-software.aspx ) software. Personally, I use this software at work. However, in a few days, I found that there could be no better replacement for this software due to its great flexibility and capabilities.
The four words here that jump out at me are "business functions that matter."
I am not surprised, John.
Also, I am sure Forrester Analyst Phil Murphy will wholeheartedly agree: http://bit.ly/VBl79g

Miley's Cryus' new music video just hit the web -- and in it, she's no Hannah Montana.
The more mature (and winged) MiCy shows off her dance moves in the vid -- which first premiered over at E! Online and is for the first single off her new album, also called "Can't Be Tamed."
The record drops June 22.
The music video was awesome and I love the way she is expressing herself and breaking from her shell!!!
What is she? 17 going on 34? When a adult has sex with a 17 yr old
it's a sex crime but sex up a teenage with a song/video and it's art. I hope see does well in life but..
Stop being a hater because you don't have her money or fame. She is 17 you act like any of you were a V when you were that age. She will be 18 in less then a yeah so get over it!!
Wow that song sucks. The video sucks, the costume sucks. I agree. Another Britney Spears. No talent past ass shaking.
Miley is going down the wrong road, and she really is looking pretty much like dog doo doo. Her head has gotten too big and it needs to be deflated, something will happen in her life to make that happen because of the road that she is taking in life. Miley you soon will be looking like an old looser the way you are going. So good luck because people don't think much of you anymore
Milerz is a hoe!
i couldnt even get through the whole video.
dancing? i saw no dancing. i saw some fancy walking, but precious little else.
only THOUGHT to be extinct? that's a shame. someone should finish the job. pow.
i love the song it great and the video very create. i dont know why people not likeing it she has to grow up someday she not gonna be hannah montana for ever soon she be 18 which is an adult. do yall except her to be the sweet like girl until she 30 please. let that girl be she rock and her career gonna get better from this watch
Ok; im aware Miley is 17 until i believe they say til this november...& i know with her becoming older and no longer on disney channel her music, clothes, and lyrics are going to be more mature and her material isnt for the younger crowd anymore. But after watching the video & listening to some of the lyrics i see another brittney spears in the making..she has no clothes on or things too inappropriate. She is feeding the youth the right to be slutty and explict which isnt a good look.
Shes Actinq Like A Whore .
Another Brittney Spears Cominq Your Way .
Some ROLE MODEL . Now Little qirls Are qoinq
To Be Dancinq Like That & Miley Cyrus Is The Cause .
Shes To Younq For This Much Fam . Shes Disqustinq This
Video Had No Purpose ; Shes Tryinq To Be Like Lady qaqa
& That Will NEVER Happen . Get Some Talent Yuh Cant SHake It .
I think she's just a little slut. She's been with so many different guys i lost count. How could her parents let her date 20 year old and give lap dances to 40 year old men. That's just disgusting and she should be ashamed.
I hate how everyone her age tries to defend her because she's "just doing what people our age do." Come on! Learn some morals. I'm 18, and when I was 17 I didn't do stuff like that, and I live in the city of sin. This is just ridiculous. She needs to pull her big head out of her ass, if it'll even fit.
I get that she isnt Hannah Montanna anymore and that when she is getting older she may have more mature videos but what she did in this video was a much to giant step. Even if she doesnt like that little kids are still on her doesnt mean they will stop watching. Plus the song isnt good, i personally think she got the same tune as brittney spears.

I bought the package from HSN, & love the gel pen fine point eyeliner which dries unbudgable, eye shadow base(better than UD shadow insurance, creamier, lasts am to pm), 4 eye shadows are soft,2 neutrals, a soft whisper of a plum, beautiful small but highly pigmented with no dusting under the eyes and brown can be used as a liner. The cheek color is an excellent shade. The lip colors aren't long lasting, and I don't need the contouring duo. The undereye brightener doesn't gather in wrinkles nor dry out the eye area. Great way to try her collection without spending big bucks.
Trish shadows are some of the best you'll find at any makeup counter. They come in a wide variety of colors, including matte and glaze, are lasting and exceptionally easy to blend. While other lines may offer more colors in larger pans, they lack in pigment. Once you've purchased a few compacts or even a planner, you'll appreciate the line's versatility. Plus, Trish has held onto her brand, as opposed to selling out to mega-brands like Loreal or Estee Lauder, allowing her to stick to her promise to do NO animal testing. MAC or Bobbi Brown cannot say the same, both owned by larger companies that DO animal testing, such as Estee Lauder.

Putrid texture with terrible color pay off. These don't even come with a compact. They are meant to be set into a cheesy compact that you have to purchase from them for $15. Fortunately if you don't want to shell out that much for a 50 cent piece of plastic, they come in a clear plastic shell that can suffice as a compact on it's own...sort of. I really wanted to begin trying higher end eyeshadow brands, hoping to get better pigmentation but I didn't find it with these. Cover Girl makes better quality than this. Never again.
I purchased the refillable double-decker compact, and I love it. I purchased 2 eyeshadows in the store (the sales rep actually took me from one store into another and ended up exchanging the eyeshadow in a kit to get me the shade I wanted, which was out of stock!) and I'm purchasing more cheap on ebay.
I haven't worn the eyeshadows yet, except for the day I tried them on in the store, but I got some of a dark shade from a tester on the end of my thumb and under the nail by accident.
Later, while getting a manicure, I noticed it and the manicurist and I tried using water and then acetone to rub it off (my feet were in the pedicure spa). The eyeshadow just stayed and stayed! I finally tried using soap and water, but there was still a little left. I imagine this eyeshadow will stay on my lids as well as it did on my thumb!
I cam back to Trish's line recently and I am very happy.
Her shadows are really pretty and there are a lot of colors and looks to choose from. I was getting bored with Bobbi Brown and feeling a little to over the top in Mac....so I am a Trish Girl again!
I already had a planner from many years ago, so I was pretty good to go and like being able to set up all my colors on a page for a particular mood/season/look.

LOOOOVE them! Don't understand some of the reviews on here! Trish's shadows are soft, long lasting and very wearable! I loooooooove the colors and the way they fit in a planner. I just bought the ultimate planner to travel with and it is awesome!!!!!!
I really dislike MAC---they are the worst shadows I have ever used---I should clarify-they sure do last long, however, should only be used if you want to look like a clown!

I'm so disappointed with these eyeshadows! I was lured by a beautiful planner filled with a makeup page and four brushes; I think it's the "crystal planner" from Saks. I have Trish brushes, but never tried her makeup before. I cannot believe how poorly these shadows show up and how quickly they fade. I have been buying department store brands for years, and never experienced this before with any other brand (Chanel, Dior, Lorac, Stila...). I love the planner, however it's useless if I don't want to use TM makeup. I don't know if Saks accepts makeup returns, but I find these useless and hope I can at least exchange this for a fragrance or brushes (I do like Trish brushes).

For the amount of money I have spent on TM eyeshadows, I would expect them to show up more. Maybe it seems like I spent more because I also bought a case and because the pan you purchase is super tiny!!! So, lippies off for price. I actually have decided to increase lippies from previous, b/c I am beginning to like the 2 colors I have. Anyway, the pan is a TINY square for $16...and I bought 2...which equals $32!!! Then I also got the little baby compact to put them in. I think I spent like 40 bucks. Maybe that's why I feel like my expectations have not been met.
Colors I have are: Pink Shimmer and Pewter. I have discovered that Pewter shows up MUCH better if I apply with the Laura Mercier Long Angled Brush...you can sort of pack it on and then do the windshield wiper motion with that brush and it looks nice. Still not as great when it comes to pigments in MAC colors, but whatever. I'm working with it.
I have not decided whether or not I will repurchase. I will probably stick with MAC and LM and other colors that give me more bang for my buck!

I have been using Trish McEvoy since 1996. I think that's close to when she started.
I can't use other brands' eyeshadows now. The Trish eyeshadows are deeply pigmented and they really stay on. They blend beautifully. I agree with a prior poster about the rip-off of reduced sizes for the same $ - however, the little squares do allow you to get more colors into a smaller planner page or compact. It's been worth it for me.
I also use the definer shadows with "Finish Line" (or water) to create a liquid liner look.
These shadows stay put all day. I have never had an issue with creasing or smearing at all.
The Trish staff are all trained makeup artists. They will rarely sell you anything without sitting you down to do your face. This can be great if you have the time. They teach you the technique as they go. Typically, they'll do one eye while you watch in a handheld mirror. Then you do the second with their coaching. At this point I'd say I'm pretty much an expert.
I will buy Trish's eyeshadows as long as she makes them.

I used Trish years ago, and was disappointed when I went in for a refill and discovered that they've reduced the quantity of product you get quite drastically. I blow though one of the eye shadows (using a Trish brush) much too fast. It's great stuff, though, which is why I keep buying it over and over. Wish I could find something that I likes as much for a lower cost.
I apply three shades at 7 am each morning, and it still looks absolutely perfect when I wash it off before bedtime. I'm totally hooked. The shades are super blendable and easy to layer. They never crease, and look freshly applied all day.

Chemical Verification
As the raw material supply chain continues to expand globally, it is critical for manufacturers to find effective and efficient ways to elevate quality programs to ensure the safety and efficacy of products before reaching consumers. Recent innovations in instrument miniaturization have enabled manufacturers to perform lab-quality analysis at any point in their production process, enabling stronger quality programs that comply with stringent regulations and achieving quality goals that ensure consumer safety and product efficacy. The ability for manufacturers to bring the lab to the sample creates efficiency in material throughput allowing manufacturers to quickly receive materials and confidently put them straight through to production.Contact Us Learn More
Laboratory Advancements
Current trends in leading-edge lab design are empowering academic scientists to collaborate more effectively while conducting new life science research. The use of lightweight, portable and battery operated Raman instruments allows for ease of movement throughout the laboratory and across multiple laboratories to support a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach to data collection and analysis. These instruments also permit universities to take an integrated academic lab-lecture approach to education allowing for hands-on lab analysis in the class room.Contact Us Learn More
Counterfeit Screening
The growing danger of counterfeit products entering the market is a strong concern for both manufacturers and consumers around the world. The global trade in counterfeit goods is booming, with a 2007 report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) putting a value of counterfeit goods crossing international borders at more than $250 billion.
Consumer goods, chemicals/pesticides, food/beverage products, and precious gems are all targets for counterfeiters. Topping the list of dangers is counterfeit pharmaceuticals. Estimates from the World Health Organization state that roughly 10 percent of the world's pharmaceuticals may be counterfeit or substandard, with higher rates estimated for regions of the developing world, leading to approximately 700,000 deaths annually.
Handheld Raman spectroscopy provides regulatory enforcement agencies and brand security teams the ability to examine the chemical composition of authentic products on the spot, resulting in the rapid identification of counterfeits and immediate removal from the supply chain.Contact Us Learn More

This venture, in partnership with the consumer electronics behemoth
The USP of Google TV is that of convergence, something which certainly isn't new; people started getting excited about the 'black box in the lounge that does everything' since games consoles were first able to Play DVDs. What the software does do however is bring Google's intuitive search function to the television medium, something which has long been begging for a usability overhaul.
