This portrait of Germaine Greer by Paula Rego is one of the most successful - and popular - of the Gallery's commissions. Although Paula Rego does not normally accept commissions, she agreed to paint Germaine Greer, the most public advocate of feminism and author of The Female Eunuch. This was partly because Greer had been a long-standing supporter of Rego's work, having written an introductory essay to a catalogue of her paintings when she was artist-in-residence at the National Gallery. Arrangements were made for sittings to take place at Rego's studio in Camden Town during the hot August of 1995. Greer was wearing her favourite Jean Muir dress and old, gold shoes and her hands were rough from gardening. In all they had thirty hours of sittings and listened to the entire Ring cycle. The result is a powerful example of contemporary portraiture: vigorous, straightforward, but monumental as well. The portrait's lack of flattery appeals to Greer: 'A portrait that is kind is condescending. The last thing I would want is for Paula to condescend to me, and it's the last thing she would think of doing.'

\"We have one truly sacred obligation: To prepare and equip those in harms\' way and to care for them when they come home\"
Methinks the VP is misspeaking (Democratic for lying), because the administration has already proposed cuts in the WH budget for veterans AND active service personnel.
Perhaps this could be a bi-partisan pact, that we honor our troops and vets not just with empty photo-op rhetoric, but also by making sure they are the best armed, best shielded, and best paid that serve our country, and when they come home injured or God forbid in a casket, that they are the best cared for and remembered with true honor, meaning, let\'s take care of their families. If the US Government doesn\'t want to do it, get out of the way of private citizens to keep their hard earned dollars and have more abundance to help out the servicemen and women and their families that live in their communities. Cut our taxes, or fund our wars with bonds and let the people back their beliefs with their wallets.

MotionSports for the Kinect takes a shot at the sports games that Kinect Sports didn't attempt. After playing it though it is obvious Microsoft didn't feel like some of these sporting events were going to work well enough and that is where Ubisoft came in.
Fortunately though Ubisoft used Kinect technology to really add something to the game that I haven't seen in other games yet and that is where the game had me impressed.
Once again this Kinect title(like others) does not offer any online play. This is not a big deal like it was in Fighters Uncaged because unlike Fighters Uncaged you can play Motionsports with 1-4 players.
Now a lot of the games were hit or miss with me so I will be reviewing each sport in the game rather than rate the gameplay as a whole. Each sport though offers different game modes inside of the sport. For example inside of Football you do obstacle courses, running back runs, quarterback target practice, field goal kicks,etc.
Horseback Riding
I did not find this game that fun to play although it was probably the best of the worst in this game. The gameplay consists of keeping your arms out straight in front of you then whipping your arms down to speed up your horse and then angling your arms to steer. You also must jump over hurdles or bars depending on if you are doing a race or if it is just an obstacle course.
I couldn't get a grasp for the controls although it sounds real easy I didn't see an increase in speed if I whipped my arms rapidly over doing it at a steady pace and half the time my jump wouldn't register penalizing me on obstacle courses and making me almost turn my horse into hot dogs or glue whatever they do with them.
Skiing is easily the worst sport in the game. For the sole reason that it doesn't work. It is hard to say that, but it feels unplayable.
To play you bring both arms up towards the side of your head and then whip down to build up speed. You then bend your knees slightly and put your weight on whatever direction you want to go. At least that is the idea, I found myself hitting the fences and unable to turn myself a lot of the time. Almost as if the game was non-responsive to my movements. I was in amazement at how I managed to end up 8 feet off the course turned towards the east when I couldn't do it intentionally when I tried.
Football saved this game for me. One of the sports that Kinect Sports didn't choose to offer happened to be the best in the game. I feel like this was the most worked on sport in the game and it shows. If only this amount of effort was shown in the other sports this may have outdone Microsoft's own first party software.
Football allows you to do some different things from running back where you dodge defenders, quarterback where you hit a receiver on the run, and kicking field goals. All of which are pretty neat but do have some flaws.
Surprisingly QB was the most functional of them all, I mean you aren't running plays or trying to aim at multiple targets with a rush coming so I can't tell you how accurate it would be then but from what the game offered it worked flawlessly and felt pretty good to hit a receiver.
Running back is a lot of fun and juking, spin moves, stiff arms all work great almost seamlessly but ducking is the most infuriating thing to use. I think I cursed a few times trying to duck defenders and obstacles that forced me to duck. The motion seemed simple enough making you "duck" but it didn't get picked up at least 50% of the time which is unacceptable. I found myself hitting the ground trying to do it and sometimes that didn't work. I am only 6 feet tall I couldn't be more average size and it struggled. But when I didn't have to the duck move I was just stiff arming opponents and jumping diving opponents and it was enjoyable.
Field goal kicking which seemed like the easiest and fun game mode was sort of a terror for me. In the video below where I show this gameplay in action the field goals are being made by my eight year old cousin because he was just destroying the ball and getting scored for perfect kicks. Now this game was getting me very mad because they make you place the ball down first and it makes you do a motion of bending and placing the ball on the ground. It didn't register almost ever for me just constantly slapping the floor bending waiting for a response. My little cousin though found no problem (but like I said I am only 6ft?). Then you took a step back and were left to aim and blast a kick through the uprights. Sometimes you had to adjust for wind but other than that it was basic and fun. Not for me though because it wouldn't register my kicking attempts half the time so I would have to re-align myself and keep trying.
I found this amazing because Kinect Sports has Soccer and you can play it 1 vs 1 or even co-op and the accuracy is dead on. I could aim at any part of the net and it will hit almost identical to where I aimed. I think my height could have been mostly responsible oddly enough.
Please enter the url to a YouTube video.
Hang Gliding
This works similar to horseback riding and skiing. Its all arm movement and angling your arms in direction to gain height or turn left/right. Also similar with the other two games it is hard to steer yourself. Although this one was the easiest of the three to steer. In the end I couldn't get that much into it for the obvious reason that it wasn't really that fun. You just steer yourself and hit vortexes to give you height boosts and land the glider. Nothing real exciting or fun in my personal opinion.
Now Boxing was better than the Kinect Sports version in the category of accuracy but it also has many faults like the Kinect Sports version. I found it hard to know where my punches were hitting or if they were hitting at all except for seeing a blue splatter sometimes when I threw punches, and watching the health ring of the fighters that was in the form of a cool Ironman style interface.
Please enter the url to a YouTube video.
I don't know what needs to be done with these fighting game but they should be one of the coolest things that Kinect should be able to do and they are turning into the hardest game to really duplicate.
Soccer happened to be my biggest disappointment. Like I said in the Football section when I talked about kicking field goals, Kinect Sports really made soccer great. The accuracy of passing and shooting, along with making the gameplay a lot of fun even without running around was amazing to me. This just fell short and made me crave having my avatar back defending corner kicks in net as goalkeeper.
It had the same set up as field goal kicking and as you can see in the video below (luckily without audio of me cursing) I am just swinging my leg vigorously trying to kick it at all.
Please enter the url to a YouTube video.
Presentation is where this game thrived in my opinion. Before I get into that though it needs to be said that this game has absurd load times. I mean ABSURD load times. In the generation that we are currently in it is amazing to think load times would ever be a problem but this game just kills you if you are impatient.
With the announcer who likes to make fun of you if you are screwing up and knowing that you are going to have to wait through another long load screen for another chance it starts heating up your boiling point if you are struggling.
That being said that is the only fault in presentation. I actually enjoyed this interface more than Kinect Sports. Basically you start up the game and you calibrate it by standing in front and placing your hands in various locations. The voice over then makes you take a picture of you smiling, you making muscles, and you "raising your arms in the air, like you just don't care". I was unaware what these would be used, but embarrassingly enough they are plastered on huge billboards in a city that is the back drop for all games.
You then play the different game modes and earn points and medals that put you on your own local leaderboard for your console. This is where they use the smile picture. They place the image next to your name and score, I know that doesn't sound amazing but let me continue. You have to remember Kinect and motion gaming in general is a party platform. So when my little cousin played with me during my review time whenever it was his turn he stood in front and it told him to smile to take a picture. That picture then was used for his guest profile and his high scores (in the field goal kicking) showed his picture and score on my leaderboards. I thought that was awesome strictly because I have a big Italian family and relatives so whenever people come over to play they have the potential to be placed on these leaderboards. So I will have a colorful assortment of friends and family filling up my game.
The last part of presentation I liked was the actual leveling system they had. Each sport has its own system that starts at 0 and you earn fame points by getting high scores in different mini-games in each sport. So in Football for example where I excelled. The points get added up and raise your Celebrity Level and right now I am at International Celebrity and I have to earn a lot more fame to be put up into the Icon category.
Although I loved Kinect Sports 1-50 leveling system and presentation I am already a 41 and it doesn't offer a leaderboard that impresses me as much as MotionSports does.
The graphics are very similar to the Backbreaker football game that came out earlier in the year. Maybe even a little less than that but as far as I am concerned graphics don't do much for me where gameplay is so important for motion gaming.
At points the graphics made Kinect Sports look child-like but seemed to allow better onscreen animations. A good example of that is in Kinect Sports where in Soccer you can use any piece of your body to block a shot and you could see the avatar mimmick you beautifully. While in MotionSports Soccer I only noticed very limited arm movements.
The sound is fine my only complaint is listening to the announcer insult me. He really doesn't hold back when I am struggling to ski downhill and he is telling everyone that "They may need to fix up the course after this player is through with it."
If you are looking for games to add to your Kinect collection and use it for a lot of party gaming I suggest picking it up especially if you are a fan of football. The leaderboards feature is enough to make it worth buying if you entertain a lot but for solo players the load times and lack of functionality sometimes may get to you.
A copy of MotionSports for the Xbox 360 was provided to us for this review from Ubisoft.

Comments about Cremona SVA-175 Premier Student Series Viola Outfit:
The viola appears to be of good quality but it was not "assembled" properly. The back of the viola is not matched up properly with the front. It was glued together improperly and there is a large amount of dried-up glue on the sides of the viola. I have requested a return and exchange.

2009 College Football Thread Sept 16, 2009 13:00:39 GMT -5
Post by hifigator on Sept 16, 2009 13:00:39 GMT -5
Three quick comments/question on that:
1. I have heard that suggested by some and heard it refuted to a degree by both Miami and Florida. That was "one option" that was considered, was what both sides said. In any case, Florida wanted to play every year for a decade, Miami didn't.
2. That is how they decided on it anyway, with one game in G'ville (last year), one game in Miami and one in Tampa in coming years.
3. How is that not neutral? Orlando is about 2 to 2 1/2 hours from Gainesville and Miami is about 3 hours from Orlando. Granted, Tampa is further from Miami ... about 4 1/2 than it is from Gainesville -- about 2 1/2. But do you really think that distance makes it significantly favorable to Florida? Really? No, I didn't think so. Now what does make it "favorable" to Florida is that we simply have a much more significant fan base. But you can't blame Florida for that. If you want to say that Florida had an advantage playing Oklahoma in Miami last year, then fine. Even if you want to say that Florida has a significant advantage over Georgia playing in Jacksonville, then I can see that. Although it doesn't affect the game, it's certainly a lot easier on the fans to travel 1 1/2 instead of 5 hours. Still, the crowd is always virtually dead even, regardless of the teams' records that year. The point is that claiming that Orlando or Tampa are unfairly favoring Florida over Miami only serves to illustrate a "you" problem, with Miami being the "you."

And I never knew jews were so racist!!
Next, the holocaust was no fake. How the hell do you make a conspiracy like that? The number "six million" is wrong, I admit that. Actually, the number of people estimated to be killed during the holocaust is at 9 to 11 million. Just look at even the Wikipedia page and you tell me how all of that was faked. I want you to look at every single picture and tell me that.
Get your history right and keep your ignorance to yourself.
all the way at the bottom.

I feel that CSA should be seperate from USA we should have slave ni.gg.as and all that other **** ya'll "
thats real civil? right?
my friends parents hate his gf because she isnt a seventh day adventist, i think its just cruel, how can you hate someone you dont even know? they are just jealous because they arnt cool enough to realize that god isnt what makes the world spin.
these people are the type that cause wars, i mean, if there was no such thing as religion this place would be so much better!
thats why im a converted athiest, i figured out from a young age that god isnt real and it will help me because when i die i wont be all depressed when i get to heaven only to find out that god wasnt real and i had been living a lie for my whole life.
funny poo though.i loved what the "italian" guy was saying
I have kept my argument civil and my feelings under control, unlike you, who is the immature one. I am no a supremacist, I am a White Nationalist. I didn't post anything to flare up arguments, I stated an opinion and it snowballed to this.
You can try to feed everyone your Zionist lies, but I won't buy into it. And for everyone reading, I suggest you do not either.
You people honestly have no brains. There's a difference between going out and beating someone to a pulp just because they look different, and simply having a talk, albeit loudly and obnoxiously, with your daughter whom you care about and are concerned about, whether for the right or wrong reasons.
if anything you should be labeled anti-semitic only if you hate them because of where they come from, what they believe and who they are. Alas these days if you hate an individual for very valid logical reasons that have nothing to do with race or religion, and they happen to fall into the Jewish sub category of groups to which they belong, then you can be sure of the ADL picketing outside your house for being an anti-Semite. providing it was broadcast over some sort of media outlet as was this of course.

LivingHomes CK Series
LivingHome built the first LEED Platinum home in the nation, and just launched three new LivingHomes in the CK Series.
The CK Series is inspired by the C6, the first affordable LivingHome that was introduced earlier this year, and LivingHomes designed by Ray Kappe. It is specifically designed for urban, infill, city lots. As with all LivingHomes, they offer a LEED Platinum level environmental program.
Steve Glenn, CEO of LivingHomes, says, "For the first time, homeowners are able to get a home that offers great, modern design and an extremely comprehensive environmental program at a price that is less than the cost to build a traditional home on site in many cities. And we build a higher quality home in half the time!"

My live-blogging insta-reax here. J-Pod:
Charting [Bachmann's] performance in the debate would be like charting the Dow over the last week. Volatile would be the word for it, and volatility is not what Republicans are looking for in a candidate. As for Pawlenty, rarely has a fluent and well-prepared candidate with a solid record of accomplishment and an ability to think and argue on his feet proved so . . . meh. His candidacy is a wet match, and last night probably marked its end…
Romney is a weak frontrunner for all kinds of reasons, but standing on a stage next to seven other people who have no chance of being president, he looks like a Colossus. So he won. Again. But his performance was sufficiently unmemorable that he is clearly vulnerable to a strong showing by the incoming Texas Gov. Rick Perry. Or just about anybody else serious who might want to get in.
Biggest winner tonight: Rick Perry.
"Perry is the real winner," is sure to be a line. Perry's great, but he'll be a winner only after he's gone through the sort of grilling we saw tonight. Perry could solve a lot of problems for the GOP, and I hope he does. But his biggest weakness is that he's never been tested in a national campaign. Let's see if he's still a winner after going through some debates like this.
Last night in Iowa, the Republicans debated. It was like the Island of Misfit Toys. Mitt Romney won the debate if only because Ames is apparently not big enough for two Minnesotans. The barbs between Bachmann and Pawlenty did them no favors.
The bottom line. Romney stays on top. Bachmann still in a strong position. Pawlenty looks to be finished.
Mitt looks really handsome, doesn't he?
It's one of the most predictable and tiresome of the many presidential debate clichés: The candidate who didn't participate won because the others were so weak. And yet that was the case in the Republican presidential debate here Thursday night. A Republican presidential field often described as weak seemed to confirm that conventional wisdom in a debate that featured many tough questions and many more weak answers. Rick Perry, who will announce his bid for the presidency on Saturday, did well because he didn't do poorly.
Not only has Fox News — the supposed mouthpiece of the GOP — put on a far, far, far better debate than CNN did (or MSNBC could), it has subjected the GOP contenders to tougher, rougher, questions than any debate I can remember. In fact, I don't think Obama ever received this kind of grilling as a candidate or as president.
If political junkies were rooting for a fireworks display tonight, they certainly got one. Michele Bachmann and Tim Pawlenty attacked each other repeatedly and ferociously. Newt Gingrich twice ripped into moderators for perceived "gotcha" questions. Ron Paul was (inexplicably) given the opportunity to animatedly spar with his competitors on virtually every foreign policy question of the evening. Voices were raised. The audience groaned, booed, and cheered. It was, by far, the scrappiest debate of the bunch. But was it productive? I'm not sure.
Newt represents the tea-party best. Anti-media. Anti-patience. The new fierce urgency of now.
The inter-candidate squabbling (so accurately predicted by Ed), the candidate-moderator bickering, the Ron-Paul-centric foreign policy segment and the absence of any meaningful discussion of entitlement reform all combined, unfortunately, to reinforce the idea that Republicans haven't yet found their candidate.
Republican voters are going to have to decide whether they want someone as unwilling to compromise as Ms. Bachmann portrays herself, or if they'd rather have a compromiser who might be able to work more effectively with Democrats and independents, or at least win their votes. Ms. Bachmann began by saying she would appeal to independents, disaffected Democrats, and libertarians, and maybe she will, but that seemed design as a preemptive shield against the attacks that came on those lines from the other candidates.
It's a very interesting back and forth between them. I haven't said much about Gov. Romney…and I don't think that is going to change. He started off with good fire, but now he is settling in to simple answers and getting done with this debate and away from the Straw Poll (which he is not participating in.) And is Ambassador Huntsman still on the stage?
Huntsman: His voice was shaky. Had even less gravity than Pawlenty. This was the candidate the mainstream press told us would be so formidable?
Bill Kristol posts a reader's song:
No golden rings,
No soaring birds,
No fresh lens,
No rising above,
And no candidate who inspired me.
The most noteworthy and damning moment of the GOP debate in Iowa Thursday was when the moderators asked the candidates to raise their hands if they would walk away from a deal that cut ten dollars from the deficit for every one dollar in tax increases. Every last person on stage said they'd reject that deal.

I didn't see a mention of it here, but I an announcement on the ULA facebook page that the Amigo will be back in stock "in a few weeks." There is even a photo on their web site. I am glad to see this return. I know there are lighter options out there, but nothing beats the amigo for convenience, ease, and speed. The thing is so fast and easy that I sometimes worry mine is not filtering at all.They said it will use the Sawyer filter and weigh about 7oz. They will also sell the parts in case you already have the filter.Anybody else excited by this coming back?
What's the fill rating?
550 ml per minute
Three years ago, I would have been delighted! However, since then I made my own version using a dry bag as a water bag--far easier to fill thanks to the stiff rim. Not only is the circular bag of the Amigo very hard to fill (unless you have a convenient small waterfall) but it's harder to carry because the full water bag slips along the draw cord, sometimes letting one edge down to dump the gathered water onto your shoes. It's also extremely hard to fill when dipping with a pot, necessary when the water is shallow (such as the edge of a lake). The bag developed a leak after two summers of use and I had to ditch it, although I cannibalized some of the parts for my home-made setup. With the advent of the Sawyer Squeeze (which can easily be configured as part of a gravity setup), I very much doubt I'd ever want to go back to the Amigo. (I won't be using my home-made version, either, since it has also developed a leak.) The Amigo was wonderful in its time (2006-8), but now there are better and lighter alternatives.

I think rays design is better for a few reasons.That being said I'll probably buy another one of these. :)
"What's the fill rating?"This guy! ;-)
Bright minds and all that. I just bought the sawyer in-line filter and replaced the old (heavy and slow) seychelles on my ULA filter. I also replaced their stock tubing with platypus line and now I can thread it on to my two liter platy clean bag. Like everything about it. Great system since '03 or before.

In accordance with the by-laws of the International Society for Neurofeedback and Research (ISNR) membership requires members to consistently maintain standards of professional conduct and pursue practice at the highest level of professional ethics, which include values of competence, fairness, honesty, integrity, objectivity, respect and trustworthiness in dealing with others.
The ethical principles of the Society are to be practiced by members of the society whether life, full, student, or associate members as well as individuals employed by the Society, operating under the auspices of the Society, receiving grant/aide funds administrated by the Society, and volunteers and representatives who speak or act as agents for the Society or its publications.
Ethical principles may be revised at the annual meeting of the Society by majority vote of the membership voting after a thirty (30) day notice of proposed changes is published and sent to all members in good standing.
Members of the Society are encouraged to post the ethical principles in locations accessible to consumers.
Members of the International Society for Neurofeedback and Research shall:
1. Actively maintain professional competence within standards and ethical guidelines of his or her profession;
2. Accurately state one's professional credentials, skills, knowledge and make only those claims which can be supported by published, scientific evidence when disseminating information relevant to services or otherwise identify services as experimental;

A. Purpose and Mission:
The purpose of the ethics committee is to foster and provide ethical professional standards, which are designed to protect the health and welfare of the consumer of services. The primary mission of the committee is to be proactive, educational, and constructive regarding professional ethical behavior. A secondary mission of the committee is to stop or prevent harmful behavior of Society members by investigating allegations of unethical or unprofessional behavior and recommending corrective actions.
In evaluating allegations of misconduct or unethical behavior, the committee shall be bound by the Society's statements of ethical principles and Code of Conduct, as well as the committee's set of standard procedures and clear evaluation criteria for corrective action.
B. Objectives:
To develop and maintain a current set of ethical principles for the membership which shall be reviewed bi-annually for revisions and recommended for adoption by the Board of Directors.
To inform the membership of the Society's ethical expectations through articles in the journal, presentations at the annual meeting of the Society and through other activities as deemed appropriate.
To develop and maintain a current Code of Professional Conduct which sets forth standards for members of the Society.
To develop and maintain a current set of administrative procedures for the committee, which shall be reviewed regularly and revised with approval of the Board of Directors.
To receive, investigate, and evaluate questions and complaints of alleged unethical or unprofessional conduct engaged in by members in accordance with the procedures specified in Section V of the Administration Procedures.
To support research, surveys, training, and education activities related to appropriate ethical conduct.
To prepare an annual report to the Board of Directors on the activities of the committee.
C. Membership and Meetings:
The committee for each matter shall consist of three (3) to five (5) Society members in good standing, appointed by the Ethics Chair and approved by the Executive Committee of the Board for a three-year term of office. Committee members may be re-appointed for one additional consecutive three-year term. Initial appointees may be appointed for staggered first terms of six, five, four, three and two years at the discretion of the Board of Directors in order to maintain continuity when new members join the committee.
Committee members may be removed by majority action of the Board of Directors Executive Dfor good cause. The Board will name from the appointees a chairperson.
The committee shall be assigned counsel by the Executive Director. Counsel shall advise the committee on procedural matters and may be appointed as hearing officer for the conduct of hearings.
Public meetings shall be held at least annually. Except for the annual meeting any additional meetings, which may from time to time be held at the call of the chair, may be conducted by mail or electronic conferencing.
Legitimate committee expenses shall be budgeted and, when pre-approved, paid by the Society. Committee members serve without salary.
D. Duties:
Members of the committee are expected to participate in and/or initiate ethical educational activities as scheduled by the committee. They shall participate in informal complaint resolution and formal hearings. They shall operate in accord with adopted procedures. Members of the committee are bound by principles of confidentiality whenever a claim of unprofessional or unethical behavior is presented and shall only discuss investigatory matters internally within the committee and the committee counsel. Majority and minority reports may be discussed with the Board of Directors after the committee report (which shall contain both the majority and minority reports) is concluded and presented to the Executive Director.
E. Administrative Procedures:
General: The committee shall be the sole recipient of complaints alleging unethical or unprofessional behavior by members of the Society. The committee shall first attempt to undertake Step One (1) to ascertain the facts of the matter before attempting, if deemed appropriate, in StepTwo (2) to resolve complaints and allegations privately and informally. When such informal action fails or is inappropriate, the committee shall follow the formal procedures outlined in these administrative procedures. The Committee may modify the procedures only when necessary and when fully documented in the final report. Communications between the ISNRBoard members and the committee members shall be through the committee chair. Before formal hearings are instituted, the Society's attorney shall serve as a consultant to the committee.
The committee may refer complaints against members to the local, state, or national professional associations (if one exists) or to the licensing/credentialing board of the member's profession.
Although the committee has no jurisdiction over individuals who are not members, the committee shall inform and cooperate with any association or agency having jurisdiction by furnishing factual information and consultation.
The committee shall record a vote on whether the results of Fact Finding in Step One (1) and the process of Fact Finding Efforts are sufficient to merit informal resolution attempts or warrant the status of a formal complaint.
Allegations: Allegations of unethical or unprofessional behavior shall be accepted only in writing from any source with first-hand knowledge. Complaints initially made without written substantiation or those presented anonymously shall not be cause for formal action by the committee. Complaints found to be capricious or malicious may be used by the committee as a basis to file a disciplinary action against the complainant. Counter complaints filed by respondent in response to an allegation shall not be heard by the committee until the initial matter is resolved and closed.
Investigations: Upon receipt of an alleged violation of Ethical Principles or the Code of Conduct, at least one member of the committee shall be appointed by the chair to be the investigator to complete a preliminary finding of facts from all parties known to be involved in Step One (1). After a formal review of the findings of the facts the committee shall vote on the substance and process of the findings to pursue an informal resolution if agreed by the parties or pursue a formal complaint. Other findings of fact could lead the investigator to recommend case closure without prejudice or, absent respondent's concurrence; a recommendation for formal hearing may be presented to the committee. The committee shall accept or modify the investigator's recommendations by majority vote within five (5) days of receipt of report.
During Fact Finding Step One (1), only the nature of the allegation is questioned. The factual occurrence of the allegation is to be determined. The identity of the complainant is held confidential within the committee in the Fact Finding process.
Complaint Clarification: Upon receipt of an allegation by the Chair or the committee, the investigator shall have sent to the complainant copies of the Society's Ethical Principles, Code of Conduct and Administrative Procedures and shall request the following information: (a) complete name, address and telephone number of both the complainant and the respondent, as well as the respondent's profession, (b) complete description of the alleged unprofessional or unethical behavior, (c) names and addresses of any witnesses, (d) previous steps taken, if any, to remedy the situation, and (e) a signed release of information which allows the committee to notify the respondent, contact other appropriate persons and agencies, collect additional information, and adhere to legal due process. The complainant may be asked to provide any necessary additional information needed by the committee and if necessary to present testimony at a hearing. If no response to this request is received from the complainant within twenty (20) days, the case shall be closed unless just cause for the delay is shown. The committee may decide that there are sufficient grounds for initiating an investigation of its own.
The respondent shall be advised informally and via certified mail of the complaint made and by whom. The respondent shall be given twenty (20) days to provide a written response to the complaint via certified mail to the committee investigator. The date of the certified mailing shall be postmarked on or before the twentieth day the respondent signed for the initial certified notice of complaint receipt from the committee.
The respondent shall then be given a choice to accept informal dispute resolution by the investigator or to participate in a formal hearing.
In the event that a respondent refuses to respond to the committee's notification of a complaint in a timely fashion, such refusal to cooperate shall be considered as a basis for a finding of unprofessional conduct and a violation of the Code of Conduct.
Fact Finding: The committee investigator shall interview all involved individuals and obtain information necessary to identify the similar and the different points of view of those involved regarding the factual basis of the allegation. The complainant shall be deemed to be only a witness providing evidence. The investigator may act as a facilitator with the involved individuals to develop an acceptable statement of the facts and issues. The respondent is not formally charged at the Step One (1) Fact Finding level. The investigator and the respondent shall attempt to reach resolution of the complaint.
Question Clarification: When the Committee is referred a question regarding ethics or conduct, the only advisory opinions or answers from the Committee members must be consistent with the adopted principles of the Society and must be approved by the Board of Directors and Counsel before being provided.
Dispute Resolution: In the event a respondent does not agree to informal dispute resolution or does not agree with a proposed settlement, the investigator shall recommend to the committee that they hold a formal hearing on the matter and shall provide written notice at that time to the respondent of his rights in the proposed formal hearing.
Disciplinary Options: An investigator or hearing officer may recommend to the committee one or more possible disciplinary actions, with the goal of adjusting the penalty to the severity of the offense. Disciplinary actions include but are not limited to the following:
1. A finding of No Merit and a recommendation of case closure without prejudice to the respondent, which shall cause all records of the complaint and subsequent action to be expunged.
2. A finding of a Formal Reprimand shall consist of two levels: Private Reprimand shall be given by the committee (usually, but not necessarily, with the respondent in attendance before the committee); and Public Reprimand, which shall be given by the committee (usually, but not necessarily, with the respondent in attendance before the general membership of the Society). Private Reprimands shall be retained in the member's file for two (2) years. A Private Reprimand is a formal, written censure and is the mildest form of sanction. Such a reprimand may be used when Ethical Principles have been violated and there has been no damage or injury to any person or to the Society. A Private Reprimand is not made public and may include suggestions for remediation.
3. Public Reprimand shall be used when ethical principles or the Code of Conduct have been violated and there has been, or potentially could have been, some injury or damage to another person or the Society, but the injury or damage is not sufficient to warrant suspension. Public Reprimand shall be given by the committee in writing (usually, but not necessarily, with the respondent in attendance) before the general membership of the Society. Such reprimand, which remains in effect until lifted by the committee, shall include educational or rehabilitative activities that are required to be completed by the respondent before the reprimand can be lifted. A record of the Public Reprimand shall be retained in the member's file for five (5) years. Public reprimands are published in the Society's newsletter.
4. Suspension of membership in the Society may be used when the ethical principles or Code of Conduct have been violated and injury or damage has occurred to another person or to the Society, which is severe enough to warrant more than a reprimand, but when permanent revocation of membership is not warranted and when the respondent agrees to complete a required, specified sequence of rehabilitative activities set forth by the committee. The suspended member may apply for reinstatement after satisfactorily completing the required rehabilitative activities. A record of the Suspension and Reinstatement shall be retained in the member's file permanently and notice of each shall be published in the Society's newsletter.
5. Permanent Revocation of membership may be used when the violation of the ethical principles or Code of Conduct has resulted in severe injury or damage to another person or to the Society, when the behavior is extremely unethical or when the respondent has refused to cooperate with the disciplinary process. A record of the Revocation shall be retained in the member's file permanently.
Final Resolution Report-The Committee's Acceptance of Preliminary Findings and Joint Resolution:
The investigator shall submit a report of the findings of fact agreed upon by the complainant and respondent and recommend the disposition of the complaint agreed upon by the respondent. When complaints are resolvable at the investigator level the committee may, by majority vote, accept or modify the recommended disposition on behalf of the Society. In cases in which there remains minor dispute between the claimant and the respondent, the investigator shall submit a report on the complaint, the results of the investigation including findings of fact and findings of dispute and shall recommend the resolution agreed upon by the respondent to the committee for its majority vote of acceptance or revision. The final committee action shall be forwarded to the Board of Directors of the Society and to the respondent by certified mail. Respondent shall also receive notice of the right to appeal. Appeal requests must be filed with the committee by certified mail within thirty (30) days of respondent's receipt of the notice of the right of appeal.
If at any time, the allegations and findings of misconduct fall within the jurisdiction of other professional associations, regulatory or law enforcement agencies, the Society shall forward information to the appropriate bodies after the period of appeal is ended.
When Dispute Resolution Fails:
If dispute resolution fails and the committee determines by a majority vote that there is a preponderance of evidence to justify consideration of disciplinary action, the respondent shall be notified of a proposed formal hearing in writing by certified mail. If the respondent waives or forfeits a formal hearing in writing within twenty (20) days of receiving notice of the right to request a formal hearing, the committee shall make its decision on the evidence received and shall, after a majority vote, so notify the respondent and the complainant by certified mail and submit the committee report to the Board of Directors.
If the respondent does not waive or forfeit a formal hearing within twenty (20) days of receiving notice of the proposed formal hearing, a hearing at the home office of the Society shall be conducted within sixty (60) days as scheduled by the committee. The hearing may be conducted by telephone conference provided both complainant and respondent agree. The respondent shall have the opportunity to be represented by counsel at his or her expense, present witnesses and evidence and has the right to cross-examine witnesses.
Formal Hearings:
At a formal hearing, the committee chair shall designate a hearing officer to conduct the hearing, and the committee investigator shall present the evidence against the respondent. Three jurors, who shall be members of the Society in good standing, without conflicts of interest, shall be appointed as volunteers by the President of the Society to hear the evidence and reach a decision in the matter. None of those appointed as jurors shall have prior knowledge of or connection with the matter at hand nor shall they be personally or professionally associated with the respondent or complainant.
Prior to the hearing, the hearing officer shall be provided with copies of all the evidence and the names of all witnesses that will be offered in support or defense of the complaint. At the hearing, the hearing officer may employ a stenographer/reporter and legal counsel at the expense of the Society. Audiotapes may be employed if all parties agree ten (10) days prior to the hearing. At the hearing, the evidence in support of the complaint shall be presented by the assigned investigator.
The hearing officer, ethics committee investigator and the jurors shall not discuss the case with anyone outside of a formal hearing and shall not discuss it with others not involved in the hearing. Confidentiality of the testimony, evidence, decision process and written records will be maintained.
The hearing officer shall conduct the hearing with consideration of due process in an informal manner. The hearing officer shall within twenty (20) days of the close of testimony prepare in writing findings of fact and conclusions regarding each allegation of violation of the ethical principles or Code of Conduct. This report shall be sent to respondent and investigator for comment to be received back within twenty (20) days. The hearing officer shall prepare a final report for the jurors within twenty (20) days with his recommendation for case disposition.
The Jurors within twenty (20) days shall either adopt or modify the recommended disposition based upon the hearings officer's finding of fact. A conference call, mail, or face-to-face meeting may be conducted to deliberate on the disciplinary options. Final decisions of the jurors shall be forwarded to the Ethics Committee chair that shall prepare and send to the respondent and the board a letter of disposition, which includes the allegations, findings of fact and the juror's disposition. All mailings to respondent shall be by certified mail.
Respondent may appeal a decision of the Ethics Committee by filing a written request for reconsideration with the Board of Directors within thirty (30) days of receipt of disposition. The Board upon review of evidence may sustain modify or remand the prior disciplinary action. If the Board concludes that sufficient new evidence exists or procedural errors occurred; the case shall be remanded for a new hearing before new jurists and hearing officer.
If appeal requests are filed in an untimely manner or found to be without merit, the Board of Directors may sustain the prior decision and so notify the respondent by certified mail.
Disciplinary actions are suspended during the appeal process.

Mexitours has some options like Great Pilgrimage in México, México Always Faithful, Great Mexican Shrine, etc. Where the main objective is to visit the Shrine of our Lady of Guadalupe.
The Virgin of Guadalupe is not only famous for the miracles attributed to her, but some mysteries that science doesn't fully have an explanation for. As the story goes Our Lady of Guadalupe left an image that is a reflection of herself painted miraculously in a coarse fabric made from fibers of maguey (shawl) which has been preserved intact by the grace of God though the centuries. Among some of the enigmas we may note that the image isn´t founded traces of brush and these shawl was not ready to be painted. NASA scientists said the material that causes the color is not one of the known elements on earth. In the eyes of the Virgin Mary to come light the retina shrinks and remove the light turns to dilate as in the human eye. And inside of her eyes this portrayed the tiny image of the Indian Juan Diego opened his cloak before the bishop. The black ribbon that wraps the waist and under his hands indicating that she is pregnant a few months. His feet rest on a black moon (it was a symbol of evil for Mexicans. And the angel that sustains her has opened its wings of an eagle. Mexitours offers tours and accommodation options for travelers to enjoy this unique experience.

Ventura contractor protests bid award for port project
Low bidder wins power system contract
A Ventura contractor that protested a rival's bid this week lost its competition with that company to handle a major phase of a land-based utility power system being built at the Port of Hueneme.
The power system will be constructed to comply with a new state-mandated program that requires refrigerated ships to shut down their diesel engines to curb nitrogen oxide and particulate emissions.
Taft Electric Co., of Ventura, bid roughly $5.3 million on the project but was underbid by Sully-Miller Contracting Co., of Brea, which bid a little less than $5 million. Port administrators recommended the contract go to Sully-Miller as the lowest bidder, in compliance with the state's procurement code.
James Marsh, president of Taft Electric, and his attorney, Jeffrey Hurst, protested Sully-Miller's bid Monday before the Oxnard Harbor Commission, which oversees the port. They argued that Taft Electric was the lowest responsible bidder because Sully-Miller did not submit a form that other bidders had to submit and had not completed two similar projects in the past five years, as the district required.
"We are not saying Sully-Miller is not a good contractor," Hurst said. "We're saying they don't meet the mandatory requirements."
Tim Erno, vice president and general manager of Sully-Miller Electrical Division, called the bid process "confusing" and said of the omitted a form: "This was a different, unique project, and it was an oversight."
The port's legal counsel, Anson Whitfield, said Taft also had problems filling out the form. With respect to the port's requirement that two similar projects have been completed in the past five years, Whitfield questioned whether the port could impose qualifications besides those specified in the code.
"It's my opinion that under the public contract code with respect to the district, we are required to award the bid to the lowest bidder, and that is Sully-Miller," Whitfield said.
Harbor commissioners agreed and voted unanimously to award Sully-Miller the contract.
The bids were for the infrastructure portion of the shore-side power project. The work includes installation of power stations at three berths and one wharf, and demolition and construction of certain structures. The port needs the project completed and operational before Jan. 1.

VIDEO — Kyle Okposo's First NHL Fight
During tonight's second period, Pittsburgh's Matt Niskanen lined up Matt Moulson for a clean but hard hit in open ice. With the Isles down 3-1 and frustrations mounting, Kyle Okposo stepped up and fought Niskanen in Okposo's first NHL fight. During the second intermission Okposo said he thought it sparked the team. It may well have, as Colin McDonald scored 14 seconds after the fight and later Matt Martin scored to send the game to the third tied 3-3.

I purchased some fresh ricotta cheese today after reading all the pros of using fresh over the stuff in plastic tubs. So I am going to make the noodles, homemade, and some sauce and put together a lasagna this weekend. Stay tuned.
Also I have a request from my Facebook fan page for Italian tapas, which is basically a meal or spread of appetizers or anti-pasti, if my research is correct. So on Thursday, I will be making some appetizers and sharing the recipes/tutorials. In the meantime, take a look at Ms. Adventures in Italy for a wonderf seven layer Italian dip to eat with garlic crostini!

Residents last month said the proposed 10-foot-wide path would infringe too much on their yards and they would prefer that bike traffic remain on the road or be relocated. They also voiced concerns about a proposed canoe/kayak launch in the neighborhood.
Village Council tabled the decision at its last meeting, but must make a decision Monday night to meet a May 15 grant deadline.
Also Monday night, council will host a public hearing on reducing water rates and increasing other fees — including sewer, building permit, rental property inspection, stormwater, and planning and zoning.

My Question: I have a good working relationship with a woman who I got attracted to over time. I think this would be a good opportunity to ask her on a date, coming up with something that's not going to get you into trouble at work. I have a lady colleague of mine falling in love with a man in the office.
I don't want to seem too timid, so I said to her, I don't want to make you uncomfortable but I would like to take her out sometime. She said it's against her ethics to date a co-worker, and then she said something about introducing me to some girl in another department. I said sorry I am not interested in anyone else right now, and that I have had a crush on her since I started working there.
Has anyone ever had a succesful office romance?
She really was sending very, very mixed signals. All of her behavior pointed to interest in you. It seems to me that for some reason, she decided against a date with you. Attraction is an emotion that can't be controlled whether you're married or not so it's perfectly normal and nothing to be ashamed about.
I would not try to figure this out, because she told you she doesn't date co-workers. You don't have to agree with that, but you should accept it, and that will take some time because you are disappointed. At least you know why, as opposed to not knowing.
Successfully identified an office romance?
The hardest thing for you to do is to accept that for what it is. At least she gave you a reason, and did not leave you wondering why. But maybe this is for the better. I would no longer express any interest in her or accept any gifts at all from her. high stress situations cause your body to confuse liking a person with stress. It's kind of the same reason why young couples usually go to an amusement park on the first date or a scary movie. Stress makes you like a person.
She let you know where she stands. Considering that you want to portray yourself as a pillar of strength that she can count on, you do not want to loose your temper in front of her. Go outside the stress and you probably won't like the person the same way. Which is why the whole secretary-boss relationship never works out. Outside the job, it's boring. It's the thrill he likes, not necessarily the person.
Consequences and benefits of hooking up with a girl at work?
The best thing for you is to continue to be polite when you see her at work, but simply move on. Office romance can be very tricky to maneuver. I would advise against EVER continuing to pursue someone who has told you why they won't date you. No means no. Other hints: well you'll discover yourself as the story continues in e-books.
You will seem desperate if you continue to show interest in her. It is never good for anyone to seem desperate. Socialize outside of your job and hopefully you will meet someone who would love to go on a date with you.

Funerals are expensive, so many are opting for pre-pay packages to spread the cost. But are they worth the money? Here's what you should know.
Morbid it may be, but planning your own funeral is becoming more and more common among Brits.
Pay now, die later – as it's known in the industry – is big business in the UK, estimated to be worth over £500 million a year.
The idea is simple: you pay a company, or an insurer, to take care of your funeral so your family don't have to cover the costs when you die and you pay either in instalments or in one payment at the beginning of the plan.
According to funeral planner Dignity, the average cost of a funeral has increased by 58 per cent in the last seven years, outstripping inflation, and often leaving families with a huge unforeseen bill of around £3,500.
One of the key benefits of funeral plans is that they are guaranteed to cover the costs of the agreed funeral arrangements, regardless of any future rise in price.
Covering the cost of a funeral before you die also allows you to choose certain elements, like flowers, music, and a coffin.
Ian Mackie, managing director of funeral planning for The Co-op explains why people want to do this: "The fact that more people are arranging tailor-made plans with us really shows that they want to take the time to talk through all the options. It's a wish to personalise and have everything just right so that their funeral is special to them."
But there are a few things you need to know before entering into a pre-pay plan.
Yes, funerals are expensive. But paying for something over time costs more because it incurs interest.
However, a spokesman for the CUNA Mutual Group says: "It would take a long time to be out of pocket and with savings interest rates low it's arguably a sensible way to plan ahead.
"If a 29 year old man pays £2 a month for 70 years - making him 99 years old when he dies - he will have paid £1,680 and will receive £2,000. An arguably positive return on investment even in the very long term."
Pre-pay plans relieve families of any financial burden, but it seems they're only good value if you know what you're paying for, and measure the real cost against any alternatives.
Before deciding upon a pre-pay plan, find out what exactly the plan includes and compare against the cost of organising all aspects separately, bearing in mind that prices might rise.
It's worth weighing up against any traditional savings methods, like an ISA: this could help set aside the money for a funeral, which can then be organised separately by family members.
A few over-50s life insurance providers, such as Sun Life, include whole of life cover, which means the cover doesn't stop at a set age but continues until you die in order to pay for funeral costs.
Yes, believe it or not, this is legal – you can be buried in your garden, subject to several requirements. You'll need permission from your local authority, environmental health included, and the local police should be informed. And take a moment to think about the affect this will have on the value of your property.
If you or your partner are on low incomes or receive benefits and need help towards the cost of a funeral then there is a government subsidy available. Be aware that it may have to be repaid from any money tied up in the deceased's estate.

I wouldn't touch the CO-OP funeral service with a shunting pole. 1. I was in hospital for my wife's funeral. They were supposed to send a taxi to take me. We arrived at the church as the coffin came out. 2.They asked did we mind trying a new venue for the nibbles. We said OK, but both my brother & I were in wheelchairs. & the food was on the first floor. No lift.

He is charged with harassment and endangering the welfare of a child. Brownville Town Justice Richard M. Parker set bail at $250, sending him to the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building, Watertown.
His wife, Christina, 34, was struck in the face shortly before 3 a.m. Monday during a domestic fight, deputies said.
