Seeds Regulations (C.R.C., c. 1400)
Full Document:
Regulations are current to 2015-02-04 and last amended on 2014-05-16. Previous Versions
Tuber Storage
52.1 (1) A grower shall store each lot in a manner that prevents varietal mixture and mixture with non-certified potatoes.
(2) Where lots of different classes of a single variety are stored in the same bin without separation to prevent mixture, the seed potatoes shall be given the certificate number of the lot with the lowest class.
(3) Where two or more lots of the same class of a single variety are stored in the same bin without separation to prevent mixture, the seed potatoes shall be given the certificate number of the lot with the highest disease percentage.
(4) A grower shall identify each lot in storage according to the name of the applicable class established in section 47 or the name "Breeder's Selection", as the case may be.
(5) A grower shall hold in storage any lot, or any part of any lot, that may have been exposed to freezing temperatures or that may be infected with late blight, Fusarium or other tuber-rotting organisms, until such time has passed during which any defects or symptoms could reasonably be expected to develop, so that an inspector is able to determine whether the lot meets the standards set out in subsections 48.1(2) to (10).
- SOR/91-526, s. 3;
- SOR/2002-198, s. 9.
Seed Potato Tags
53. (1) Subject to subsection (6), an inspector shall provide seed potato tags to a grower for use by the grower in labelling seed potatoes, other than Breeder's Selection seed potatoes, if
(a) a request from the grower has been received by the inspector in respect of a crop for which a crop certificate was issued; and
(b) a sample of the lot or growing crop for which the seed potato tags are provided, except for Pre-Elite, Elite I and Certified classes, has been subjected to laboratory tests and not found positive for the presence of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus.
(2) A grower who receives seed potato tags shall grade seed potatoes in accordance with section 48 and subsections 48.1(2) to (10).
(3) A grower who receives seed potato tags shall attach them to the containers of seed potatoes that were produced from a crop in respect of which a crop certificate has been issued.
(4) If an inspector, on inspection, determines that seed potatoes for which seed potato tags were provided under subsection (1) do not meet the standards or grade size set out in sections 47.11 to 47.8, 48 and 48.1, the inspector shall request the grower to re-grade the seed potatoes, and if the grower refuses to re-grade or cannot re-grade the seed potatoes, the grower shall return the seed potato tags to the inspector.
(5) Every seed potato tag shall have printed on it
(a) the class, variety and size of the seed potatoes;
(b) the crop certificate number;
(c) any additional information that is necessary to meet the requirements of the laws of the country that will be importing the seed potatoes;
(d) the date on which the information set out in paragraphs (a) to (c) is printed on the seed potato tag; and
(e) the following statements, in French and English:
THE GROWER declares that the seed potatoes contained in this shipment are from the crop for which a crop certificate was issued bearing the crop certificate number shown on this tag and that they are graded in accordance with section 48 and subsections 48.1(2) to (10) of the Seeds Regulations.
A request for reinspection of the seed potato lot may be made to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency within two working days after receipt of the lot.
Inspection for the purpose of certification was made either visually or through laboratory testing of samples, or both. Certification does not constitute a warranty, by either the Canadian Food Inspection Agency or the grower, that the seed potatoes meet the applicable standards set out in sections 47.11 to 47.8 of the Seeds Regulations.
LE PRODUCTEUR déclare que les pommes de terre de semence qui font l'objet de la présente expédition proviennent de la culture certifiée par le certificat de culture dont le numéro figure sur la présente étiquette et qu'elles ont été classées conformément à l'article 48 et aux paragraphes 48.1(2) à (10) du Règlement sur les semences.
Une demande de réinspection du lot de pommes de terre de semence peut être faite à l'Agence canadienne d'inspection des aliments dans les deux jours ouvrables suivant la réception du lot.
L'inspection en vue de la certification a été effectuée soit visuellement, soit au moyen d'essais de laboratoire sur des échantillons, soit par les deux moyens. La certification ne constitue pas une garantie, de la part de l'Agence canadienne d'inspection des aliments ou du producteur, que les pommes de terre de semence satisfont aux normes applicables énoncées aux articles 47.11 à 47.8 du Règlement sur les semences.
(6) An inspector shall not provide seed potato tags to a grower in respect of a lot of Pre-Elite, Elite I or Elite II class of seed potatoes if the grower was not granted a crop certificate in each of the previous three years due to the presence of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus in a field, in storage or on equipment of that grower.

The society has a new level of standard and wants to continue earning Gold Level.
For the third year in a row, the Texas Tech student chapter of the National Human Factors and Ergonomics Society was awarded Gold Level status for its contribution to the field and students' professional development.
The Texas Tech Human Factors and Ergonomics Society is advised by Keith Jones, associate professor in the Department of Psychology, and James Smith, professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering. The chapter combines both departments' expertise in human behavior and design to develop technology better suited for work environments.
"We're sort of like two sides of a coin," Jones said. "We work together pretty frequently. Our students will take classes in industrial engineering, and their students will come over here to take classes."
To achieve Gold Level status, the local chapter must prove that it has promoted students' professional development in a variety of ways including tours of facilities related to the field of study, attendance of guest speakers with real-world experience and the availability of networking possibilities for students.
"Achieving Gold Level status has become our new standard," Jones said. "We're going to get this every year. We're going to continue to make this happen."
Additionally, three students in the Department of Psychology, Kerstan Cole, John Morris and Paul Derby will be elevated to student members with honors for succeeding in their courses, research and professional development.
Jones said Texas Tech students were four of the six to receive the award. He said this brings visibility to the Human Factors and Ergonomics Program, the Departments of Psychology and Industrial Engineering and the university.
"This award helps separate our students from the pack," Jones said. "Graduate programs are full of really smart, motivated people, and that's not enough anymore to differentiate them in the job market. By doing this their resume will float to the top, and employers will see that they won awards for their personal accolades."

Retro -spective
Woke up extremely early with most of my work finished late last night so I had the chance to do some creative writing here. Had a very early start to a somewhat unusual morning routine. Woke up to Fleetwood Mac playing. No milk so no latte to start my day, instead went with some tea and enjoyed a walk along the lakefront and sat on the rocks, watching the sunrise, sipping my tea.
I am not known to be a typical "morning person" per se, I am however, an extreme night owl. So much so that if I wake up early enough before the sunrise I am actually quite fond of the morning – as it's just an "all-nighter" in my mind.
Anyways, I watched the sun rise and listened to a playlist I recently made, one of the songs I probably haven't heard in more than ten years. It brought back a flurry of flashbacks and overwhelming emotions… When I buried my father and sister half a lifetime ago, I used to come to the lakefront daily, go for a run, or just watch the sunrise with smoke and coffee in hand. Sometimes I used to run and smoke which freaked people out, a comical contradiction. morning person, probably because mentally it's just an extended late night for me…
Well the track played, and mentally brought me back to sixteen years ago. I lit a smoke and unwittingly began an inventory of my life. Thankfully, these sticks burn slow, cause there's a lot of shit to reflect on.
I remember playing chess with my dad for years, something he taught me when I was knee high to a duck. He was very competitive, and used to compete and travel in tournaments all the time. We bought him a fancy electronic chess set one time. It came in this leather briefcase, and the computer would take weeks to make a move. I think he finally beat it just over a year later. It took me about ten years to finally beat him, and I'm still not sure if that was just by chance or a gimme as that was the only win I ever got. I think I picked up my use of analogies from him because he used to compare chess to everything; how every move changes the situation, strategy and possibilities. You know you won't have all these peices at the end of the game, and most will be lost throughout the duration of the game. You do, however, have the power of choice – choosing what to move, if and when to sacrifice and when to take. Even choosing to lose our most powerful pieces on the board to create… for the overall scheme of things.
I sacrificed a whole lot getting to this point and only have a few pieces left and need to make sure that it won't be all for naught. I still have dreams and don't want to grow old in regret.

This Saturday, Jan. 5 you can clean up from the holidays and do a good deed at the same time by bringing your Christmas trees and empty bottles to Elphinstone Secondary School.
Peerless Tree Service will join the Elphi 2013 grad class to offer tree chipping at the school from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Donations to the grad class are requested in return for this service. The grads will also be holding a bottle drive, so bring empties with you at the same time or donate your bottles to students canvassing in your neighborhood. Money raised from this event goes toward a legacy gift to the school and grad activities.
Smart Meter installation deadline extended
BC Hydro has installed 93 per cent or 1.73 million of 1.87 million smart meters.
To ensure the final seven per cent of smart meters can be installed, the Province is extending the deadline under the Clean Energy Act from Dec. 31, 2012, to Dec. 31, 2013.
According to a news release from the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas shortages in qualified labour, equipment and specialized meters, plus customer concerns, prevented BC Hydro from fully installing all smart meters in 2012.
"The additional time will enable BC Hydro to complete the work and address as many customer concerns as possible before finalizing smart meter installations," said the release. "Smart meters are expected to pay for themselves by delivering $1.6 billion in benefits over 20 years. These are savings that BC Hydro will not have to collect from customers. Once smart meters are fully installed and operational, they will also let BC Hydro know of an outage immediately, so power can be restored faster."

Features of the TCSH Shell
In many cases the list should be calculated when the completion takes place. For example, a list of users located at a given host or targets in a makefile would need to be calculated.
To set up such a completion, first develop the command which returns the list to complete from. The command must return the completion list on standard output as a space-separated list. When this is done, insert this command in the entry Output From Command.
Here's a little Perl command which finds the targets in a makefile:
perl -ne 'if (/^([^.#][^:]+):/) {print "$1 "}' Makefile If this is inserted in the entry, you can complete on targets from the file called Makefile in the current working directory. If someone should think I describe TCSH through it only in order to promote TDG,(s)he should take a look at the following line, which is the generated code for the make completion:
complete make 'p@*@`perl -ne \ '"'"'>if (/^([^.#][^:]+):/) \ {print "$1"}'"'"'Makefile`@'
With user-defined completion, you can restrict the files which are matched for each command. Here are two very useful examples:
Restrict latex to *.{tex,dtx,ins} The latex command will complete only on files ending in the extensions .tex, .dtx or .ins.
Restrict rm to ^*.{tex,html,c,h}.` This means that you cannot complete rm to a .tex, .html, .c or .h file. I've done that a few times, when I wanted to delete a file called important.c~. Since the file important.c existed, TCSH completed only to that name, and... I deleted the wrong file, because I was too quick.
Additional examples can be obtained by loading the export file distributed with TDG. Please note that if you wish to keep the other pages, you have to tell TDG to import only the page completion/userdefined. This is done on the Details page, which is accessible from the reload page.
Configuring the prompt is very easy with TDG. Just enter the menu called prompt. On this page you can configure three prompts:
prompt: the usual prompt, which you see on the command line, where you are about to enter a command
prompt2: is used in foreach, and while loops, and at lines continuing lines ended with a slash
prompt3: is used when TCSH tries to help you, when it meets commands it doesn't know—i.e., spell checking
The prompts are mixed with tokens and ordinary text. The tokens are inserted by clicking on them in the menu below the scrollbar, and the ordinary text is simply typed in. When a token is inserted, an indication will be shown in the entry. Figure 4 is an example of how this may look.
Some of the prompts may be positioned in the xterm title bar instead of on the command line. To do this, choose font change and select Xterm.
The history mechanism of the shell makes it easier to type similar commands after each other. To see a list of the previously executed commands, type history.
The following table lists the event specifiers:
!n | This refers to the history event, with index n |
!-n | This refers to the history event which was executed n times ago: !-1 for the previous command, !-2 for the one before the previous command, etc. |
!! | This refers to the previous command |
!# | This refers to the current command |
!s | This refers to the most recent command whose first word begins with the string s |
!?s? | This refers to the most recent command which contains the string s |
With these event specifiers, you can re-execute a command, e.g., just type !!, to re-execute the previous command. However, this is often not what you want to do. What you really want is to re-execute some part of a previous command, with some new elements added. To do this, you can use one of the following word designators, which is appended to the event specifier with a colon.
0 | The first word, i.e., the command name |
n | The nth word |
$ | The last argument |
% | The word matched by an ?s? search |
x-y | Argument range from x to y |
* | All the arguments to the command (equal to ^-$) |
Now it's possible to get the last argument from the previous command, by typing !!:$. You'll often see that you need to refer to the previous command, so if no event specifier is given, the previous command is used. This means that instead of typing !!:$, you need type only !$.
More word designators exist, and it's even possible to edit the words with different commands. For more information and examples, please take a look at the TCSH manual found on-line at http://www.imada.ou.dk/Technical/Manpages/tcsh/History_substitution.html.
It is possible to expand the history references on the command line before you evaluate them by pressing ESC-SPC or ESC-!. (That is: first the escape key, and next the space bar or the ! key). On some keyboards you may use the meta key instead of the ESC key, i.e., M-SPC (one keystroke).
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

I promise you, all my life, I've always known I prefer women over men. I've always pictured a tall busty blond lady in stilletos and a red dress. Camron Diaz, in The Mask as Tina. She was my perfect woman. Although so was Elvira, Mistress of The Dark. She was so... outgoing & attractive... strong. Growing up, I've been taught that same-sex relations weren't acceptable & they were dirty & discusting. The men liked it though. Obviously, they still do.
My problem?
"Its Adam & Eve, not Adam & Steve!"
aka... Religion.
After I broke up with my partner, I moved out & started hanging out with a friend I've considered my brother. He convinced me to go to his church.
I love these people. They've accepted me, as weird as I look.
Before I met anybody, I asked what this church thought about gays. "NOT ACCEPTABLE!"
Wait, he'd dabbled in the bi-curious world. Honestly, he says men give the best blowies.
Since I've made friends with a large number from the church, this is the worst feeling.
Y'know what though?
If they can't accept me as an individual, then they aren't true friends, even if the Word says so.
What do I think? How many fucking orphans are there? Are the hetero couples going to adopt them all, who else is? Gays. Does anyone ever consider this????? So WHAT if them bein together means that they will not procreate of eachother. Babies parents die, or the family can't keep them, they need parents.
okay so now everyone's gonna be disappointed I stole the hugs and rainbows this time XD anyways
baby we both know how hard it is to leave are so called friends when they begin to treat us like crap for finding out a part about us, like our sexuality, just like we know we should leave them because they don't deserve to be our friends. But do you know why it's hard? it's hard because you're better then them and you accept them even with their flaw of disliking you for invalid reasons. You my love are an amazing and wonderful woman ♥
And is that why that church views homosexuality as wrong, because they don't procreate together? Because that in it's self is disgusting, do you know how many men and women are born with out the ability to procreate, and most of these people are heterosexual, the church, the one that says it loves ALL of God's children is going to tell these people that Homosexuals are wrong because they can't procreate making these people who naturally do not have the GIFT to procreate feel disgusting, dirty, and unworthy, now THAT is wrong. and to procreate is a gift not a responsibility, and a gift a lot people have and don't deserve but I'm so not going into that rant.
any ways *hugs* I love you baby and I know large LGBT communities in many cities all over north america ♥ We will find a nice comfortable and positive community.
aww Mandi... You made me cry. I love you.
Madly in love with Mandi <3
I definately know the feeling... It's hard to be friends with people like that. Christian people just judge without taking the time to figure out who somebody really is. I mean I would love for them to try to live our lives for a day, and feel what we feel. I'm sure they'd have fun with that one.
...just those who wish to be relieved of the burden of independent thought. Tragic, that such are actually proud of their ignorance.
:(((((( My first hugs and rainbows were stolen :(((((.
oh well
MORE *HUGS* and MORE *RAINBOWS* for you! :DDDDDD
Also I like your screen name. Feel free to pm me if you ever need or feel like talking.
I swear to the Lord, I still can't see, why Democracy means, everybody but me.

The first strike by Community Living workers in 14 years is expected to escalate until the provincial government returns to bargaining.
About 40 of the BCGEU members - who provide support for persons with developmental disabilities and their families - rallied at noon Thursday at the north end of Overlanders Bridge as part of provincewide rotating job action.
They're the lowest-paid civil servants in B.C. and say they want to see improved funding from the province for themselves and for their clients.
"We're caring individuals who just want to go out and do a job and feel good about the supports we provide," said Angela Reed.
Workers picketed the offices of three service agencies in Kamloops throughout the day. Day programs were affected by the action on Thursday, although essential-service levels were maintained at group homes.
She said many workers find it impossible to support themselves and their families on the wage. Some take second jobs or move onto other opportunities in health, education and related fields. That means a high turnover and a drain on skills often required to support clients.
"It is below what is deemed a living wage."
Reed said the starting wage of $15.84 an hour was established a decade ago amidst wage rollbacks and program cuts. Sixty-five group homes have been closed since then and families were instead offered adult foster care as part of a privatization move, she said.
That, in turn, resulted in more clients winding up in jail or in psychiatric wards, she added.
"The cuts have all been a result of action from the government over the past 10 years. It made it difficult to go on supporting individuals."
Rotating strikes will continue until the province agrees to return to bargaining. Reed would not elaborate on the union's strike strategy, though.
There are about 120 Community Living workers in Kamloops who are BCGEU members. Their contract expired last March.

Are You Hiring the Right People at Your Dairy?
February 24, 2015Well, if you answered "NO" to that question then maybe you need to review – or create – job descriptions that you have for key positions. Job descriptions provide the foundation for building strong human resource management practices into the day-to-day management of a dairy farm business.
A Novel Inhibitor Decreased Rumen Methane Production in a Long-Term Trial with High-producing Dairy Cows at Penn State
February 24, 2015New research from Penn State shows that feeding a methane inhibitor has potential as a strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cattle.
February 24, 2015Robotic dairies surveyed in Pennsylvania had good hygiene scores overall. Even so, those with cleaner cows had lower bacteria counts in bulk tank milk samples.
Cost Comparison of Various Calf Feeding Programs
February 24, 2015We recently evaluated the costs of feeding pasteurized milk to calves in comparison to other feeding systems considering current market conditions. To do so, we utilized a spreadsheet tool we developed a few years ago with colleagues at Virginia Tech. The results may surprise you.
A Long-Term Mindset for Reproductive Management
February 24, 2015As we look at reproductive management and its impact on overall success of a dairy operation, it is clearly a critical component.

It's been a while since we've talked about cooking, hunh? Here's a great soup-as-a-meal recipe that I wanted to share while it's still winter. Don't be fooled by the title — this soup has a lot more in it than corn.
Cut up three slices of bacon into small pieces. In a large pot (or Dutch oven; this will hold your complete soup when finished), cook them over medium-high heat until crispy (about five minutes?). Remove the bacon, leaving the drippings in the pot.
Add to the pot one pound of chicken breasts, chopped into bite-size pieces; 3/4 cup chopped onion (about one-half of a good-sized onion); and 3/4 cup chopped celery. Cook 10-15 minutes, until the veggies are tender and the chicken cooked. (I admit, I left the celery out, because I don't like it.)
Add 4 cups chicken broth (one 32-ounce box); one can of whole kernel corn; one can of creamed corn; 2-3 small potatoes, diced; and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender (12-15 minutes after boiling).
Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream; 2 Tablespoons of parsley; and a couple quick grinds of pepper. Simmer 2-3 minutes, stir the bacon (remember that?) back in, and serve.
This made six meal-size servings by my count. With a salad or fruit, it's even relatively nutritionally complete.

March 4, 2008 at 3:47 PMIt's an odd coincidence, but "find a corn chowder recipe" IS on my list of things to do today. I bought some pre-made at Costco, thought I could do better and so I was looking for a basic recipe. Came for the comics, stayed for the corn.
I agree about the celery, and I will probably add some garlic and carrots and… peas? maybe…
- Johanna Says:
March 4, 2008 at 4:04 PMSo glad I could help!
Garlic might overpower the flavors, but if you like carrots, they'd be a good addition early on (so they weren't too hard).

It is comforting to experience that you don't have to be an expert to succeed. Pastor Jim got a buck his very first time deer hunting.

As discussion and debate rages on regarding the CFP Board's proposed 80% fee increase, and the associated public awareness campaign it is intended to support, much of the underlying concern seems to boil down to a simple issue: Is the CFP Board "our" champion? Should it be? Can it be?
Late yesterday CFP Board managing director for public policy and communications Marilyn Mohrman-Gillis publicly responded in an interview with Matt Ackerman at Financial Planning magazine to a number of the concerns posted in a discussion board thread regarding the CFP Board's proposed 80% fee increase as announced at the FPA Annual Conference this past weekend. Notwithstanding her attempt to address the issues posed, the general negativity of feedback on the Financial Planning message boards in response to Mohrman-Gillis' interview continues at an active pace.
In reading through the responses, I was struck by the level of negativity and distrust towards the CFP Board, which seems to emanate from a belief that the CFP Board should be championing "us" - the CFP practitioners - and the financial planning profession, but instead is only about itself. Why can't the CFP Board listen to its certificants, many ask? Why can't it represent us more effectively, like the AICPA or ABA do for their accountant and lawyer members, respectively?
The answer stems from the fact that, unlike the AICPA and the ABA (not to mention our own FPA and NAPFA organizations), the CFP Board is not a 501(c)(6) membership association; it was actually organized and is classified as a 501(c)(3) public non-profit. In other words, the CFP Board can't represent us as members, because... well, it's not actually a membership organization!
The actual mission statement of the CFP Board, consistent with its tax and legal classification as a 501(c)(3) organization, is "to benefit the public by granting the CFP certification and upholding it as the recognized standard of excellence for personal financial planning" (as extracted from the CFP Board's publication on the Purpose of the CFP Board). In accordance, the CFP Board seeks to achieve its mission through six core objectives:
1) Credentialing: Provide the most rigorous financial planning credentialing process that is valid, reliable and legally defensible.
2) Education: Establish and enforce educational standards for enhancing the knowledge, skills and abilities of current and potential CFP certificants.
3) Enforcement: Protect the public's interest through rigorous, ongoing enforcement of CFP Board's Standards of Professional Conduct.
4) Communication: Build the CFP certification brand as the recognized standard of excellence in financial planning; Promote its understanding and acceptance among the public and other stakeholders.
5) Advocacy: Influence policy to benefit the public and increase access for all to competent and ethical financial planning.
6) Sustainability: Strengthen CFP Board's capacity to achieve its mission and serve all stakeholders in a timely, accurate and professional manner.
Viewed from the perspective of the organization's mission and its stated objectives, the public awareness campaign seems entirely reasonable (putting aside for the moment whether the pricetag is reasonable). After all, the organization itself cannot achieve its mission of "upholding [the marks] as the recognized standard of excellence for personal financial planning" if there is no public recognition of the standard at all. Similarly, the public awareness campaign directly supports the communication objective #4 indicated above.
Accordingly, I have to admit that I'd be more concerned if the CFP Board's board of directors did not pursue initiatives like this; the planning community may not like the mismatch between "our" goals and the CFP Board's "mission", but the board of directors ultimately has a responsibility to help the organization achieve its goals or it is failing in its role as a board.
So why are so many planners so upset - above and beyond the "mere" fact that the proposed 80% fee increase will hit us right in the pocketbook, in the midst of an admittedly not-so-great economic environment? It appears to me that the frustration stems from the fact that we as financial planners want the CFP Board to be our membership organization to represent us, and to be the entity that champions the financial planning profession at large. Admittedly, the CFP Board often does not succeed in this regard. Unfortunately, though, it's because this is not the organization's actual mission! Thus, we seem inevitably doomed to these periodic episodes of discontent with the CFP Board, as the outcries represent a fundamental friction - we want and wish the CFP Board to be something different than what it actually is (and to no small extent, what it could even legally be if it wanted).
Of course, this is not to say the CFP Board functions exclusively in a self-serving environment. The long-term health of the financial planning profession and its practitioners are still in the interests of the CFP Board. In point of fact, I think the organization is well aware of this; it's why the CFP Board has relented on some of its initiatives in the past (including the whole infamous "CFP Lite" affair), and is why - as Ms. Mohrman-Gillis points out in the Financial Planning interview - the CFP Board took significant steps to understand the views of CFP practitioners before announcing the planned initiative. In addition, it is also notable - as I pointed out in a prior Nerd's Eye View blog post - that the CFP Board has also made the effort to announce this change, before it takes effect, allowing the planner community the opportunity to raise some of the justifiable concerns it has expressed. I don't know if the objections and concerns of the planner community will derail this initiative, but I do hope and expect that the board of directors will be cognizant of the concerns when it comes to the details of the final proposal they will vote upon next month.
Nonetheless, it seems that once again the planning community sits at a crossroads with the CFP Board. Once again, the planning community wishes for the CFP Board to be its champion to represent the interests of CFP certificants "as members" and the financial planning profession at large. But the CFP Board is not really our champion, nor can it be in its current form. Thus, instead, the CFP Board proceeds down its 501(c)(3) public interest path, and we all hope that "our" goals and "their" goals align closely enough to achieve mutual success.
Is the CFP Board's path this time around deviating far enough from the planning community that it will vote with its money (and drop the designation), or attempt to establish an alternative organization that will have a mission "focused on the profession"? The CFP Board doesn't seem to think so. I guess time will tell whether the CFP Board's research and survey efforts to the planning community were on the mark or not.
What do you think? Is the CFP Board our champion? Should it be? Can it be?

Clinton Kelly: Fashionably Smart Travel
Photo: clintonkelly.com
Hey, you! Yes, you with the pleated khakis, Scooby-Doo T-shirt, and fanny pack, I'm talking to you. If you continue in your fashion disaster ways, don't be surprised if you're ambushed by one Clinton Kelly, style guru of TLC's popular What Not to Wear. If you're lucky, Kelly will take you from zero to hottie faster than you can put down those greasy french fries and invest in healthy carrot sticks.
Searching for makeover candidates takes Kelly all over the United States. And after racking up almost a million miles per year, he's learned a thing or two about efficient travel. Thankfully, Kelly was all too happy to share his pearls of wisdom with us this week:
DT: With all of the traveling you do for What Not to Wear, you've probably mastered the art of packing light.
CK: I will brag and tell you that I haven't checked a bag in four years. One day, I did the math and calculated that I would have wasted an entire day of my life just waiting for luggage at airports. So packing light became the goal.
DT: Impressive. What's the trick?
CK: I just bring the essentials: a great pair of jeans, a jacket/blazer, a
pair of multi-purpose shoes.
Also, I pack travel-size options of all my favorite products. And if they don't make a travel size, I transfer the products into small plastic containers. Lastly, if I'm traveling for work and need multiple outfits, I'll ship clothes ahead of me.
Read after the jump for more of Kelly's travel insights.

Donnnn'tttt Caaaaarreeeee
Is that a real or photoshopped cig? honestly can't tell
The fact that he is a professional football player cracks me up every time. Literally just looks like some dude you would hang with a the bar
he looks like a washed up version of karl from die hard
Cutty owning life. Boss mode
I want to hate him so badly but I can't….just doing the damn thing.
Dude is fucking winning at life. The flow and the dime
That is a massive lampshade behind him.
Kristin likes him because he's got a massive clock
Cutler killin it per usual. The bears, or any team from a numbers standpoint has a 3% chance of winning it all year in and year and Kid Cutty realizes that thoroughly. All the way to the bank.
he then got a cramp in his thumb and pulled out of the costume party. Only to return in 5 minutes and ride a stationary bike outside of the party.
Cutty? Is that a thing now?
It's safe to say that he gives 0 fucks.
jay cutler with a cigarette limping out of his mouth is literally the only way to make zumba pants look better than they do on gronk… fact
@hungry, stats wise i'm comfortable taking the jets', cards', bills', raiders', browns', titans', jaguars', and chiefs' 3% and redistributing it appropriately
judge Jeanine needs me inside her so bad.
If you don't recognize those pants then don't comment on them. I would mouth fuck that whore quicker than you can say… Done!
i bet they have weird sex. this night it's even weirder than usual.
Slow down there big
Slow down there big yabs, calling her a dime is like being proud that you bought an Audi.
There really needs to be an exclusive pictorial of Cavallari for BSS provided by Cutler.
@slutnuts appreciate the grammar, but that apostrophe-comma combo almost gave me an epileptic seizure
Kristin, do you even eat, bro? Your head is bigger than the rest of your body. With that said the answer is obviously yes, and twice on Sunday, 10 seconds total.
Wow. How many worn out, douche-bag catch phrases can be used in one comment section:
"Per usual.."
"Do you even ____ bro?"
"Twice on Sunday"
"Dime piece"
"0 fucks given"
"Doin the damn thing"
"Like a boss"
Pretty impressive actually. Lets try a little harder to sound like Barstool writers
@markgormley Also, NONE and I mean NONE of those phrases originated on Barstool.
Trying to figure out why I said "Also,"
Jay is the biggest cocksmoke in NFL history. Bears training camp is in my hometown of Bourbonnais and I've personally watched him turn down a handicapped kid in a wheelchair for a simple autograph while working security. Blew my fucking mind.
I don't think I'm in the minority when I say I used to HATE Cutler. The shit-talking, getting hurt during the playoffs and total asshole attitude in general made me think he was douche. But the fact that he's a die-hard Stoolie outweighs any ill-will towards him. Viva La Stool, Viva El Cutler!
@haley As an Eagles fan I find it hard to believe I like him now but you're right, being a stoolie makes him the man. He's probably reading this now. Hi Jay.
Who said anything about them originating here? I know they didnt. It just gets exhausting reading them over and over in the blogs/comments. I'm not trying to be the comment police, say whatever you want, but at least TRY to think of some original stuff.
2 shots of Cutty and a tall boy
Sam says – don't know him on a personal like you are claiming. But thinking maybe she likes him because he conquered life and is a millionaire. Just a thought.
hey jay, how does steven colletti's dick taste?
Bigcat is bad at blogging, Jmac is blogging circles around you
Kristen has got to be 4'10 and weigh 75 pounds.
He's sort of the S. Malkmus of the NFL.
hot pink air max '95s kind of ruin the "80s" theme here

Just came back from my phsycho, she is very happy about me going to that retreat, she wants to go also but her schedule is tight, I hope she can go with me, it will be such a help to have her there with me but I don't think she can make it, but I am going anyway, and I will tell you all about it when I come back, it will be July 27 until Aug 1, please my dear sister, pray for me so I can have a reunion with my Solange, or at least I will find some understanding and a little peace.I am going to do a test tomorrow, endoscopy or something like that, they will put a tube though my mouth all the way into the intestine, yack, all I hope it that the anesthesia will come trough this time, the las time with the colonoscopy I suffered very much, I imagine that the stress does not help, the Dr said he gave my all I could stand, but did not work, but this time if I am not knock out I will walk right out of there.He is triying to find out what it's really wrong, because the treatment after the colonoscopy did not worked, I really don't care, all I want is a treatment for "my pain" and I know there isnt' so the rest its unmaterial. Verna I loved your post about your reunion, it was the first time in a long long time, that a peaceful smile came to my face.Sandy i made a copy of your e mail about the Gentle Wisdom and gave it to my phsycho, she lost her son 9 years ago, so she understands the "pain", you know sometimes I wonder if there is another word for it, because pain does not really describe what we feel.Donna thank you for that special memorial it is beautiful and peaceful. Eva and Lisa, please post remember your family in the Circle of Love, we worry about you. Deb, please keep hanging in there, I know Skyla will be there with you, when God decides its the right time. Love you all my sisters. Selva |
Hi angel moms! I pray that everyone is OK. With the 4th of July holiday coming up and all, I know there will be families getting together all over the US, and that will not be easy on us angel moms. No holiday or special day ever is. We just have to make the best of it, "if" we choose to participate. Shortly after my Diane was killed, I didn't want to do any of the traditional things that we always did as a family ... And, fortunately, my family respected that and understood. My personal advice to all angel moms is the same: That is, do what's best for you. This is especially true for our newly bereaved angel moms, but also true for those of us who are further along. You see, the pain we feel is still there. It's just that our many, many prayers, our faith in a loving Father, our determination to regroup after a valley day or valley period ... All of these things ... including your ongoing prayers that you angel moms pray for us, have helped us to go on, in spite of the pain and loss that we will always feel. The loss of a child is unlike any other loss. That is true for all of us; no matter how long or how short the time. As Sandy reminds us often, the loss of a child/children has a pain all its own. Part of us went with our child/children, and we know that life as we knew it will never again be the same. And though we can relate the pain that other angel moms have felt and are feeling, we cannot know the depth of each moms pain. Each of the experiences, the love, the bonding that each of us shared with our own child for however long, can only be known and felt by that Mom. So, when we, who have been on the journey of grief a while longer, try to console or offer words of comfort, or reach out in compassion to those who are in the very early stages of grieving their loss, we do so, knowing in our hearts that we can't stop the pain. All we can do is pray and ask our Father, God, to provide those precious moments of peace for which we pray. I believe in the power of prayer, angel moms. I know it's not easy to wait on God to answer prayer, but I can tell you that God does answer prayer, in His own way and time... And that it is worth the wait. And, for that, I am, and forever will be grateful. Yes, you will find reasons to smile again, angel moms, and you will find joy in life again ... Only, in a different way. The clouds will be there, but eventually, the sun rays will shine through! :) So, hold on to your faith, angel moms, and God will provide you with those moments of peace for which we all pray. God bless all angel moms and their family and friends everywhere! |
Hello dear Sandy, :) Yes, AOL has finally straightened things out for me. I hope it lasts. It's great to be able to receive mail from you again. So far, I am still able to send mail to all angel moms and none have been returned. I hope everyone received my first update on the reunion. I sent an email to all angel moms earlier today. I heard back from Cindy and Selva already, so if I don't hear back from you and the other moms, I'll assume that AOL is messing with my email service again. Ha-ha! |
Hi dear Selva, ~ Thank you so much for your kind words. It brought a smile to my face to know that my first update on the reunion brought a smile to yours. :) It really was a great reunion. I'll be meeting with my editor on July 14th, so I am in the process of organizing the final chapters of my book to her specification. She has formatted the first 4 chapters and will give me feedback on those at our July meeting. But, in-between working on the book project and cooking for the 4th, I will be reporting on the final activities of the reunion by way of emails. My family have be down on the list to prepare: Dirty Rice, Broccoli/Shrimp/Rice Casserole, Honey Bun Cake, & everyone's favorite, my Chocolate Cookie Cake, that I make from scratch. :) Hubby, David & his brother, Lynn are doing the barbecuing; [Ribs, Chicken, Hot Links], Son-in-law, James, will cook the Brisket, my sister Pearl, will prepare her [MaDear kinda Homemade Potato Salad! :) ... Niece [Carol and Tammy] will fry Cat Fish, & Cheryl, will prepare Mustard/Turnip Greens, Cornbread/Hush Puppies, Green Salad, cold drinks, and Tammy, fun games for the kids, and cold drinks and napkins, plates, etc. So, right now, I must go pick up all the ingredients for my contribution, BEFORE the stores get too crowded. :) Love you, my sister, and I'll email you and the other angel moms soon with the rest of the reunion update. |

Hello dear Miss V, yes, AOL seems to be straightened out at the moment, I did receive your Part I Reunion letter and if you go back to the last post on Page 151, you'll see I commented on it! It sounds as though a great time was had by all, :) |

My dear sister, I pray that all goes well with your test this morning, DON'T walk out, find out once and for all what's wrong, we want you healthy again! |

Dearest Verna, So glad you are back and what a Beautiful message to All and Thank You for sharing Your wisdom, it is very inspiring and Loving, it is so true, Grief is personal and the best we can do is lift each other up but it is a lonely journey because it is our own. It sounds like a swell fourth of July at your place, for us I'm making twenty lbs of potatoe salad for our community get together its was my Mom's receipe so I need to get busy, Justin is spending his day with friends. I think holidays have turned to Holy Days for there is our own pain and we know that for the new Angel Moms we will be asking Prayer for solace and God's strength to get through to hang on another day. What you wrote I beleive will Bless many by your validation and wise understanding. Love& BEARHUGS Dear Verna |

Dear Woods1, God Bless you. I'm so sorry for your loss of your little one Jeremiah just last August. In your own pain you reach out to this circle and offer your help. God is with you and He is getting you through. The first year is rough. I know what you mean about looking at things differently. Life isn't the same as it was before our losses. I have changed so much since my 24 yr od son was killed in a single car accident 3-1/2 years ago. I often wonder why this had to happen to get my attention. But it sure did. I appreciate everything so much more, my family means more to me than ever before and it has changed my other children and husband. There is a reason for everything that happens and we may not ever know why until He calls us home. But we have to trust Him with our lives and try to carry on in the best way we know how with His help. Thank you for your prayers Woods1 and we are a praying circle and will lift you up also. |

Hello dear Woods1 and welcome to the Circle. I'm so very sorry to read about Jeremiah, it must have been so heartbreaking for your husband and you, God bless you both. As Yvonne has said, the first year is very rough, a pain all of it's own, but know that your faith in God will help you so much to slowly get through it, yes, God does do everything for a reason, His ways are not our ways, and He brought little Jeremiah back home. Yes, losing one of our precious children does change us, and some of the changes can be positive ones, as you say in your life, as well as Yvonne. God is so good to us grieving Moms! That's so sweet of you to think of all of us and pray for all, and please know that you and your family will be prayed for here and I hope you post again, we are all bonded together here in prayer and love, support and understanding. May Our Lord hold you tenderly in His arms during the painful times, and give you His peace to help you along your own Journey. |

Yes, thank you dear Miss V and dear Donna for posting about the US holiday, I had completely forgotten about it, so both of your wise words will help newly bereaved Moms to help cope with the day. |

Hi dear Deb, I thought maybe you were working on your land, but instead you've been studying hard for your test! |
shaner 7/3/2003 12:35 |
Hello dear Yvonne, it's so terrific to see you posting! I hope all is well with you and your family, and your precious little grandchildren! A very beautiful post to Woods1, and once again a lovely prayer. I hope you have a good Holiday too, and that your special Dove has been around! |

Hello Angel Moms! ~ I have just finished with my part of the cooking. :) It is now 4:18 AM. Ha-ha! Yea, you all know me well ... Still got my nights and days mixed up. I decided to put off my baking yesterday, because Cheryl decided to do her baking over here, so I gladly let her take over. After she left, and after hubby left, grandson, Steven and I couldn't resist sampling one of his mom's cakes, and a small sample of my dirty rice. We then watched a movie on lifetime and turned in. Of course, I was up again around 2:00 AM, so now that I've finished with everything, I decided to check in to catch up on reading post. |
Selva, I am glad that my email brought a little cheer and a smile to your face. I only wish I could make the pain go away. We all do, of course. I hope you take Sandy's advice and let them find out once and for all what the problem is. I know it will relieve some of your stress, once you know you are OK health wise. I think you are going to feel better in every way once you hear from your beautiful Solange. I pray with all my heart that it happens for you, my sister, and I know that will bring you much relief. I will be praying for you 24/7, and I know that God will answer all our prayers. |
Deb, thank you for your kind words, also. I want you to know how proud I am of you for continuing your studies, and I know you will do well on your exam. I know it will make your father-in-law very happy to have a surprise visit from you all for his birthday! What a thoughtful thing to do. I also love that poem that Cindy shared with us. It really hits home, doesn't it? Sometimes I just observe others who have not lost a child and wonder how they would react to those of us who have, -- If they only knew! :( Then, I regroup, and focus on my many blessings; Like our circle of love, and the love and support that God has provided for us here, where we know we are not alone and that others really do understand and share our moments of joy as well as our ongoing grief and pain. And, it is also a blessing to know that God will never leave us to bear our cross alone! Others may forget, but God never does! :) God bless you, Deb, and I pray that your father's health continues to improve |
Donna, ~ God bless you, dear one. Thank you so much for your encouraging words, also. I want you to know what an inspiration you are to me and to everyone! Sometimes, when I'm feeling a little sad, I think about your courage, and the beautiful prayers you pray and your words of wisdom that your share with all of us, and somehow, I manage to regroup, and try again. I think that it is such a blessing that God brought each of us to this safe place to share our good days and the not so good days. It always helps to know that others care. Thank you also for the beautiful fwd pages and kind words that you share. I am keeping both you and your dear sister in my heartfelt prayers. |
Dear Woods1, ~ When I read your post, tears filled my eyes. I am so very sorry to read of the tragic loss of your precious son, Jeremiah. I lost my 36 year old daughter, Diane, in a tragic wreck on Aug. 31, 1996. Your pain is so new, and as Yvonne and Sandy says, the first year is so very difficult, but God will be with you and your husband, and give you the strength and courage to go on, in spite of the indescribable grief that you are feeling. Here, in our circle of love, you and your husband will be prayed for 24/7. We often remind each other that God ways are not our ways, and we may never fully understand why bad things happen to good people in this world. But, by faith, we know that God will help us on our grief journey, and that because He gave His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross, to pay for any and all sin, for all time, ... Someday, we will see and embrace our children, as well as our other loved ones again, forevermore! Please know that you and your husband will be prayed for here. Thank you so much for your kind words and for your prayers. God's peace and blessings, |
