What happens if you need to make an emergency appointment?
Staff illness or an emergency (a real emergency) could mean that you don't have enough certified staff to carry on your business. If this is the case, you can notify the Authority and make an emergency appointment. You may do this in situations where you can't wait 10 days for a temporary certificate to be processed.
If there is no emergency or staff illness then your employee can apply for a temporary certificate with their application and must wait.
Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Applications are not eligible for emergency appointments.
Conditions for making an emergency appointment
You can make an emergency appointment if:
- You have a real need to engage someone because of illness or emergency, and you don't have enough certified staff; and
- The person you're employing has applied for a certificate and paid the fee; and
- You are satisfied that:
- No grounds of disqualification apply to the employee; and
- The employee is not currently charged with an offence that would be grounds for disqualification if they were convicted; and
- To the best of your knowledge, the information supplied in the employee's application is correct.
- You notify the Authority before making the emergency appointment; and
- The person has not been employed on an emergency appointment for more than two weeks in the past (unless the Authority has approved the appointment before you make it).
You must immediately stop a person from undertaking work if the Authority instructs you to.
How do I make an emergency appointment?
You must email the Authority the emergency appointment form before the appointment starts.
Emergency Appointment Form (PDF, 520KB)
If you need to extend an emergency appointment, you must apply to the Authority. You might need to do this if the temporary certificate has not been received and the emergency situation still applies. You can do this by completing the emergency appointment form above.
Can I withdraw an application?
You can withdraw your application at any time using the withdrawal form. The fee will not be refunded if you withdraw your application
Withdraw an Application Form (PDF, 502KB)
Can I get a refund of my application fee?
If your application to the Authority is unsuccessful, or you make a mistake and have to reapply, the application fee will not be refunded to you. This is because the application fee reflects the cost of processing the application and making a decision.
In certain other (very limited) circumstances we may consider providing a refund. You should contact us for more information.
We value your feedback
The information that you provide will help us to improve our services. This survey will take less than 5 minutes to complete. Thank you for taking the time to tell us what you think.

During my 37th week of pregnancy we drove to a C&O access point… or so we thought. We had found a trail that ran into to the C&O but there was no way to cross over the creek to get to it. We drove down the road and did access the trail, but the next time we ventured out we knew we wanted to find a better access point. It happened that Riley's Lockhouse access point was just right down the road from where we already were!
When my sister was in town last week we went for a long walk on the C&O. The sites were definitely pretty and it was nice to get out and explore a bit more of our new city.
The C&O Canal runs along the Potomac and the views are awesome.
Since it was such a nice day, tons of turtles were laying around sunning themselves.
We only had my point and shoot with us or I would have been able to zoom in more. There are at least 20 turtles on the long in the picture on the right — it was so neat! A few other people noticed that we stopped along the trail to ooh and aah over them and then we noticed that they stopped to!
It was a lovely family outing!
Reminders to ourselves from this outing:
- Bring/wear bug spray when you are walking along the river.
- Dress baby in as little clothing as possible and go as early as possible.
- Walk on the right, pass on the left (this is a reminder for my dear sister).
John and I are really excited to start exploring and introducing Xander to the area. We've been working on a mental list of all the places and things we want to do in the area before we leave (or stay). John's fellowship is two years so we know we'll be here at least that long!
What are the first places your visit when you move to or visit a new city?

The other day, I was doing an angel card reading and I came across a card that struck accord with me. It read:
This message stopped me in my tracks. In that moment, I had to affirm to myself, "I AM powerful! I am magnificent! This IS who I AM! And I have the right to change my life so that I can experience more freedom and joy in my life."
You see, completely separating myself from my previous career has come with its fair share of challenges. Emotionally, it has been very liberating for me to release. However, for everyone who knew me as a mentor, Coach, industry expert, and successful entrepreneur, it has been difficult for them to understand my new direction and how to relate to me.
The message on this angel card served as a wonderful reminder and pure confirmation that my career shift, to spiritual-aligned prosperity coaching, is in true alignment with my personal integrity and my dreams.
For the past 6 months, I have been working my tootsie off to realign my business and create online courses that I know will server many, many people for years to come. But, it has not come without many moments of uncertainty and insecurities. In fact, it has downright taken me out of my comfort zone.
There have been times when I questioned every creative idea and my ability to bring it into fruition. And I must confess, multiple times I even thought to throw in the towel and resort back to the familiarity of my old career. But, Spirit kept showing up and nudging me to stay focused own my ideas and believe in my dream. And so I have.
Have you ever experienced a life change like this? The type of shift where you release the vice grip you have on your past for something greater…something that tugs at your heart…the one thing that brings you so much joy, you can lose track of time doing?
Well, if you answered, "YES" then, my message to you is to STAY FOCUSED!
Don't allow your inner critic or anyone else to sway your decision. Keep a positive mental and emotional outlook about your dreams and forge ahead. Imagine that your dreams have already been made manifest and tangible form will follow.
This process of releasing the old to create the new has been therapeutic, passionate, wonderfully-creative, and truly Divinely inspired. And I would give nothing for this journey.
It has taught me about the stuff I'm made of and empowered me beyond my wildest dreams. And it can be equally empowering for you as well.
So, I can hardly wait to reveal my first new course to you. But, in the meantime, dream in BIG, BOLD colors and keep your eyes on your prize.
If you have a dream you want realized, here are 3 simple steps to help bring your dreams into fruition:
- Break your priorities down into smaller, actionable steps.
- Commit to your priorities no matter what.
- Devote time each day to your heart project.
I assure you, the Universe will support your commitment and your desire to expand, evolve and manifest your dreams into tangible reality.
Until we speak again… Enjoy an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G summer!

Vitamin D and menopause
John W. Martin III, MD is medical director of The Women's Center at Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix in Arizona. His office can be reached at (602) 839-4351.
Question: I read a recent report suggesting women aren't deficient in Vitamin D as previously thought. Should I stop taking the supplements prescribed for my menopause therapy?
Answer: Admittedly this report is cause for confusion, both for readers like you and those of us prescribing Vitamin D to women going through menopause as well as those working to build bone density or having babies.
Standard practice has been to maintain a Vitamin D serum level above 30 ng/mL. However, the new Institute of Medicine (IOM) report suggests 20 ng/mL is enough. It goes further to state that, with few exceptions, women get enough Vitamin D through moderate sun exposure, diet and multivitamins Therefore, asserting that supplements and serum level evaluations are unnecessary and warning that ingesting more than 4,000 IU of Vitamin D daily can damage the kidneys and other tissues.
Despite these suggestions, many of us are reluctant to pay less attention to serum levels and are uncomfortable with the lower goal of only 20 ng/mL. Vitamin D is an essential supplement for every woman's diet unless, of course, they have significant sun exposure without sunscreen, a practice for which I do not advocate given the risk of cancer, not to mention wrinkles and blemishes.
Vitamin D is important for normal bone strength, fracture prevention and muscle activity. Some studies suggest additional benefits, particularly among older adults, including enhanced central nervous system function (maintaining balance) and muscle contraction speed (preventing falls). Conversely, low Vitamin D levels have been linked to diabetes, coronary artery disease, hypertension and immune disorders.
Vitamin D is currently being studied with great interest. As is often the case, one report touts the benefits while another warns of the risks. It's a lot to digest. However, I'm confident that most of us on the front lines see great value in checking serum levels and prescribing supplements to maintain the standard 30 ng/mL until further evidence convinces us otherwise.
There is much contradiction and room for legitimate disagreement about Vitamin D. Discuss your questions and concerns with your physician. Everyone's needs vary. Don't assume that the new findings apply to you.

New Tikinagan Service: Foster Parent Support and Advice Phone Line
Chris and Annie Cromarty with their Grandniece.
Need advice in dealing with a child in care? Tikinagan's new toll-free support phone line is here to help foster parents deal with problems. We can provide advice on dealing with difficult child behaviour or a child with special needs. We can support you in fostering teenagers. We can advise on child development or nutrition or how to properly discipline a foster child. We can also help with other issues such as grief or dealing with separation. Don't hesitate to call for support or advice. We're here to help.
Become a Foster Parent. Make a Difference.
Every year in our communities, children need temporary alternate homes and families to care for them while their own families seek assistance for their problems. Some of these children can stay with their kokums and shoomas (grannies and grandpas). Some can stay with other family members, or with friends. However, some children don't have these options. Tikinagan is committed to keeping our children within our communities, but to make this happen, we need your help.
You can make a difference in the life of a child.
You can help children stay in our communities when their families are unable to care for them.
Foster parents are everyday people who come from all walks of life. Homemakers, Councillors, teacher's aides, grandparents, store workers, NNADAP workers. The list is long. Foster parents can be married or single or separated. They can have their own children, or not. The key requirement is your willingness to help a child. Foster parents are essential to us and to our children.
We will help you. Tikinagan provides training, assistance, financial support and recognition for our foster parents.

ASK IRA: Is the Heat content at point guard?
Q: Ira, now that Dampier is not being considered, thankfully, do you think that Riley will focus on bringing in a true point guard? — Tony.
A: Not now, and likely not at all. Remember, Pat waited until almost the end of camp last year before adding Arroyo. I think the Heat is at the point where they first give an extended look to what already is in place. It's not about necessarily getting the 15 best players. It's about getting the 15 best fits.
Q: What Mark Cuban and Phil Jackson are saying is the Heat and Wade-Bosh-LBJ violated the terms of the CBA while insinuating that the NBA allowed it to happen. They talk about it as if it were a proven fact. These guys are basically giving their own league a black eye and casting doubt over the integrity of the sport. Toronto or Cleveland never lodged a complaint with the NBA about tampering. Ira, do you think the league will react and issue a fine or will it allow these accusations to persist? — Alex.
A: I don't think the league will react, because it knows if it does, it just brings more attention to the matter. I think the league's desire is to move forward. Besides, Cuban and Jackson can be a hoot if you take them for what they are, a couple of instigators just looking to stir it up.
Q: I'm a little upset about the reasons by the "experts" in your story who said the Heat cannot get to 72 wins. I'm not saying it will be easy, but consider that the Celtics' Big 3 won 66 games their first year together. They were all at the end of their primes. No one in their right minds would honestly take the Celtics' 3 at that point versus ours. Your thoughts? — Franky.
A: My thoughts are that there is a reason that Celtics team stopped at 66 wins and LeBron's Cavaliers team from two years ago also stopped at 66. Sometimes enough is enough, and it becomes more important to be primed for the playoffs than push for a place the record book.
Q: So if the Nets work out this trade for Anthony, does it mean the NBA will wait until the start of training camp to set the schedule? And do you think the Nets with Carmelo will be much of a threat to the Heat? — Sam.
A: Schedules have to be set by early August because of numerous other logistical commitments. But you make a good point about how the NBA has hidden Heat-Nets on the schedule because it had to be scheduled so early, before Carmelo vs. LeBron became a potential factor. As it is, the first Heat-Nets game comes at 1 p.m. on Oct. 31 in Newark, directly against the NFL. Yet while I do think Anthony will make the Nets better, I think there still would be too many holes for the Nets to even be considered a lock for homecourt in the first round of the playoffs.
Q: When you look at the top five picks of the 2003 NBA draft class, D-Wade, LeBron, and Bosh were always friends, even during the Olympics. Is Carmelo now the "stepchild" of the group? — Noc
A: No, but I bet he regrets not setting up the same opt-out Wade and James had for this past summer. Had that been the case, who knows what the permutation might have been in South Florida or elsewhere.

Ok, this is a poem I wrote right after I got out of lecture today. My professor was talking about poetry and the American family. It seems that food is always a LARGE part of family so that was a theme aswell.
I wrote this in about 5 minutes...if that, and it is all originally what I wrote down. I sent it to my professor and now she wants me to read it infront of the class and there are 150+ students in there.
Anyway, I'd really like to know what you think! or if there are any critcisims. =)
Building Blocks
The American Family
Thrust around the table
The only common, not so foreign ground
Where you always have conversation
The food is always good (at least you say it is)
All congeal together
Forming new concoctionsHow many ways can you prepare potatoes and still call them potatoes?
How many days can you eat pizza in a row?
Is McDonalds really food?
or some fake glimpse at fake food and fake happiness?
Im Lovin It, I tell you!
Food is life, life is food
Our history is Built off it
Our future Destroyed by it
Fighting amongst ourselves with the thing that bring us Together
Two can play at this game .

QMx's Official Serenity Ship's papers set is on sale now at QMx and TFAW.com, and you'll want to snag it quick because only 1500 were produced and they sold 250 of those in the first six hours.
Those of you who have been SerenityStuff visitors for some time might have been wondering what fan-favorite replica maker Whitefall (Ben Mund) has been doing since he got picked up as one of QMx's Artisans. Folks, he's been taking one of his best unofficial prop replicas and making it into an even better official one. This is his set of ship's papers, with all the documents a captain would want to have handy the next time the Alliance comes calling, in a custom-made leather holder.
Ben's original replica was a faithful recreation of the one from "Firefly," which didn't contain much in the way of actual 'versy stuff. The pages contained mostly filler, legal boilerplate, and was never intended to be seen up close. After a great deal of work, with input from "Serenity" graphic designer Geoff Mandel and access to tons of source material, this is a brand new, built-from-scratch set of ship's papers the way it should have been. Insanely detailed, plain fun to read.
In this set of 13 full-color sheets of various sizes up to 8-1/2" x 14," the certificates are hand stamped with the official seals of the Alliance and hand signed in English and Chinese by the appropriate Alliance officials. The documents contain endorsements required to operate a variety of ship systems along with system maps, operating licenses, safety inspections and a wealth of background material on what it takes to operate a Firefly-Class Transport in the 'Verse.
From the press release:
"As part of our research into creating the Ship Papers, we went back to some originals props from the series, but were disappointed to find there was really nothing there," said Andy Gore, QMx Director of Marketing and project manager for the Ship Papers. "They were just some trust documents that someone slapped a new title on to look good on camera, but they didn't have any actual 'Verse content in them."
Operating alone and with no support either from the studio or Serenity's creative team, Mund had already done a tremendous job prototyping a set of "idealized" ship papers. QMx wanted to take Mund's concept, but make it as real and authentic as possible.
"We went to Ben to help us make the Ship Papers so realistic, they look like you just walked into Mal's cabin and found them laying on his desk," Gore said. "Ben has a track record of creating paper props of excruciating detail and breathtaking beauty. But we think he's outdone himself with the Ship Papers."
The company offered Mund complete access to QMx's considerable resources – including an extensive archive of original drawings and background materials, and the Serenity Brain Trust (the team responsible for advising on the development of the Official Serenity Blueprints) – and told him "go crazy!"
He did.
"Five hundred additional years of history gives you a lot to draw on, so I spent a good deal of time going through official documents from civil war parchments to digital customs regulations to get a blend of elements that felt right," said Ben Mund, QMx artisan and design lead on the Ship Papers project. "Artistically, I worked to stay within the design ethos of the 'Verse – blending a little bit of the Old West look with the cold, hard high-tech look of the Alliance."
"With access to the source material as well as input from Serenity's graphic designer, Geoffrey Mandel, these papers are far and away better than anything I could have done on my own," Mund said. "Every single page was built from scratch, with information, graphics and other details true to the source material."
The Official Serenity Ship Papers includes a hand-signed certificate from the designer and come wrapped up in a fashion-grade, hand-crafted leather wallet with brass fittings and a hand-made screw-down plate. The papers feature rich details – such as gold ink, duo-tone stamps, an embossed metal clip and paper watermarked with Alliance emblems. It damn well feels official.
QMx's Official Serenity Ship Papers set goes on sale at 6 p.m. EDT today for $119. Sales will be limited to 1,500 pieces. You can find more information and pictures at the QMx site.
The Offical Serenity Ship's Papers set is available from QMX or you can order it from TFAW.com.

Gone are the days when our men drank cans of Keystone or Busch Light taken from a bathtub full of ice in someone's dingy apartment. Well, mostly gone anyway. Their tastes have evolved to enjoy, shall we say, more refined spirits. Tuck the pocket-sized book, The Instant Expert's Guide to Single Malt Scotch ($9) by Kevin Erskine into his stocking this year to help give him plenty of cred when it comes to whisky and Scotch. It'll help him read labels, taste scotch properly, and how to choose the brand and age he likes best.
I know the author, Kevin. Very cool guy to know and he makes a mean drink! My father enjoyed the book.

Graduated from Higher Air Force School. Doctorate degree of medicine, 1951. Physician, Soviet Air Force. Cosmonaut training 17 January 1966 - December 1967. Call sign: Ural (Urals). After leaving the cosmonaut group, he worked as a civil servant with the Organization Snaniye of the TsPK.
Birth Place: Poroshino, Altay.
Status: Deceased.
Born: 1928.02.23.
Died: 1990.12.31.
Spaceflights: 2 .
Total time in space: 1.98 days.
Later Finogenov, head of the VVS range at Vladimirovka, informs Kamanin that flight trials of the new combination parachute/soft landing system will be delayed at least two weeks after the failure of one of the parachute canopy rings in static test.
Finally Korolev gets to the purpose of the secret meeting. He wants Feoktistov to be aboard Voskhod 1, despite the opinion of Kamanin and the physicians. Kamanin reiterates that the most qualified crew would be Komarov, Volynov, and Lazarev; and if he gives in on Feoktistov, then Komarov, Feoktistov, Lazarev. But Korolev is opposed to Lazarev, and insists that the crew should be Komarov, Feoktistov, and Yegorov. From Kamanin's point of view this is flying a space mission with two invalids aboard. Lazarev is a qualified and fit flight surgeon, a qualified pilot as well as a physician with 15 years of research experience in aviation medicine. Korolev is adamant that the two passengers should be civilian, not military. No agreement is possible.
Coming before the two-man Gemini flights, Voskhod 1 had a significant worldwide impact. In the United States, the "space race" was again running under the green flag. NASA Administrator James E. Webb, commenting on the spectacular, called it a "significant space accomplishment." It was, he said, "a clear indication that the Russians are continuing a large space program for the achievement of national power and prestige." Additional Details: here....

Mille Miglia
Enzo Ferrari described it as 'the world's greatest road race', and for 80 years this famous race from Brescia to Rome and back again has captured the imagination of car lovers everywhere.
The Mille Miglia originated when a group of Italy's most famous racing drivers formed the Brescia Automobile Club in 1927 and organised a long-distance race for production cars, which they felt would assert the importance of Brescia as the cradle of Italy's automobile industry - a premier position that had been lost when the Grand Prix had moved from Brescia to Monza in 1922.
The event is launched with mass in the Duomo Vecchio, Brescia. On the next day the Gran Turismo cars are exhibited to the general public in the city centre, and the first leg of the race - from Brescia to Ferrara - is launched at 7.30pm.
The next morning the cars start on the Ferrara-Rome leg of the race, stopping en route at Urbino. There is a parade of cars in Rome in the evening. At first light on the final day, the cars embark on the final leg, from Rome back to Brescia.
Participation in the event is limited to makes and models of cars manufactured between 1927 and 1957, which took place in the original Mille Miglia races.
NB. The 2017 dates are provisional and will be finalised closer to the time.

Rockies owner Dick Monfort apologizes for email; Promises to keep team in Colorado
DENVER - Colorado Rockies owner Dick Monfort has issued a public apology for an email earlier this week and promised he would never move the team.
The controversy began with an email Monfort sent to Mike Ferguson, a Grand Junction man who brought his family to Coors Field to see the game against the LA Dodgers. The Rockies were shut out 9-0 that night and our partners at The Denver Post reported that Ferguson left a disapproving comment on a feedback form.
Two days later, he was emailed a message signed by Monfort saying, "If product and experience that bad don't come!"
The Denver Post reported that Monfort had since sent Ferguson an apology e-mail and offered to have a conversation with the fan by phone. Then, on Friday afternoon, the team's public relation office sent this longer public apology:
I want to express my sincere apology to Rockies fans that received a recent email response that was not consistent with our organization's values. I have always tried to be open, friendly and understanding. Obviously, at times I have failed. The fact that so many of you take the time to write to us demonstrates your tremendous passion for the Rockies.
Our fans throughout our city and state are the greatest in all of sports. We're not interested, nor have we ever been interested in the relocation of our franchise. A report last night stated that in an email I sent to one of our fans, I felt Denver wasn't deserving of a franchise. I want everyone to know that leaving Colorado has never been, and will never be an option. Our fans are our biggest asset and we do not take their support lightly. We're blessed to be a part of this great community and we want to bring a championship to all of our fans that they so richly deserve.
I want our fans to know that our entire organization is committed to great baseball and a great experience. I'm sorry I created this confusion.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. - Bradley (6-1) continued its late-inning magic by scoring 12 runs in its final three at-bats to rally for a 15-5 win against Xavier (4-3) in the opening game of Austin Peay's Riverview Inn Classic Friday afternoon at Raymond C. Hand Park.
Facing a Musketeers staff that allowed a total of just six runs in a 3-game series last weekend at #12 North Carolina, Bradley worked over seven Xavier pitchers for 15 runs on 12 hits with 13 walks and four hit batsmen. Shortstop Tyler Leffler led the charge by going 3-for-3 with three walks and five runs scored in his six plate appearances. Austin Jarvis, Evan Gruener and Chris Godinez all drove in three for the Braves.
For the sixth time in Bradley's seven games this season, the Braves faced a deficit through five innings after Xavier jumped ahead, 5-3, on Vinny Nittoli's 3-run home run in the bottom of the fifth. Sophomore left-hander Cameron Roegner (1-0) relieved two hitters later, however, and teamed with sophomore right-hander Peter Resnick to toss 4.1 scoreless innings. Roegner struck out two and allowed one hit in 1.1 innings to earn the win, while Resnick allowed just one hit in the final 3.0 innings to pick up his second save of the season.
Bradley began its rally in the seventh when Leffler followed Greg Partyka's leadoff walk with his second double of the game. Partyka scored on a wild pitch, then Elliot Ashbeck forged a 5-5 tie with a single down the right field line to plate Leffler. With two outs and runners at first and second, Godinez put the Braves back in front for good, 7-5, with a double to left field.
Bradley will continue competition in the Riverview Inn Classic with two games Saturday: 3:30 p.m. against the host Governors and immediately after, approximately 7 p.m., against Dayton. The Braves then will travel to Dayton next weekend for two games each against the Flyers and Wright State.

I rotate between the same two things for breakfast: quinoa porridge and scrambled eggs with a muffin. On weekends I will have pancakes (with fructose-free syrup!) and bacon or sausage. But I'm getting tired of my weekday routine. I really miss bagels with cream cheese. I can still eat the cream cheese, but the bagels, not so much. I was inspired to create a bagel recipe after making a new bread recipe from Art & Potatoes. We are on our third loaf of Sesame Bread and we love it. My husband is wheat-free too, and he really likes this bread for his sandwiches.
|Sesame Bread from Art & Potatoes
What I noticed about the Sesame Bread was the crust. It was almost like....the outside of a bagel. Hmmmm.....So I got to work. The bagels turned out even better than I expected. I could not believe how much like real bagels they taste! I already had a doughnut baking pan that I haven't even used yet (Wilton from Amazon). If you don't have a doughnut pan, you could use a muffin tin or even make it as a small loaf.
One of the ingredients is glucose syrup. Glucose syrup is the stickiest substance known to man. OK, to me. Glucose syrup is the stickiest substance known to me. You can buy it at craft stores, such as Michael's or Jo-Ann Fabrics, in the cake decorating section. Colleayn from Art & Potatoes informed me that she contacted Wilton and they they confirmed that it is 100% glucose. Hooray! Like I was saying, it is super sticky, so I find it easiest to make this recipe in my food processor to "chop up" the syrup and help it blend in. Since they are cinnamon, I wanted my bagels a little sweeter, so I upped the amount.
You can toast or warm them and smear them with cream cheese or butter. They are even good just on their own. I swear, you will be amazed! So here is the recipe with the step-by-step instructions below. Special thanks to Art & Potatoes for the inspiration!
print recipe
Quick Gluten-Free Cinnamon Bagels (Low-Fructose Too!)
makes about 9 (3-1/4") bagels
1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
3/4 cup tapioca flour/starch
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4 eggs
1 tablespoon oil (such as light olive, organic canola, or grapeseed)
1 tablespoon glucose syrup* (or honey if low-fructose is not desired)
1 teaspoon vinegar
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a doughnut pan.
- Add to a food processor the almond flour, tapioca starch, cinnamon, salt and baking soda. Pulse several times to blend.
- Add the eggs, oil, glucose syrup (or honey) and vinegar. Pulse until well blended and smooth.
- Fill the doughnut pan just a scant full and bake for about 15 minutes, until just starting to lightly brown on top. Cool slightly and turn out onto a cooling rack.
- When bagels are cool, slice and spread with your favorite toppings.

On May 31, ABC News reported that the newly popular Mexican "banda" singer Tomas Tovar Rascon, known better by his stage name "Tito Torbellino," was killed Thursday in Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, Mexico when two men entered a restaurant and shot the singer several times at close range. Torbellino, 33, was born in Phoenix, Ariz. and was scheduled to perform at a concert in Ciudad Obregon the day following his shooting death. Torbellino died en route to a local hospital.
Over the last several years, other musicians have been killed in Mexico for performing "narcocorridos," a form of traditional polka-style folk music with lyrics that promote a variety of illegal activities including murder, torture, racketeering and drug smuggling. Some music critics have compared narcocorridos, which can be heard on both side of the Mexican border, to U.S. gangster rap. Although there are photos of Torbellino on some of his Facebook pages and in some of his music videos showing him with guns, "his songs mainly focused on unrequited love, not drug gangs."
Experts say drug capos sometimes target musicians because of their ties to rival groups, or sentimental involvements.
Author Elijah Wald who wrote "Narcocorrido: A Journey into the Music of Drugs, Guns and Guerrillas" said that other musicians who didn't necessarily promote narcocorridos have suffered the same fate as Torbellino. Other than to say that Torbellino had just recently garnered a spike in his popularity, Wald couldn't speculate as to a motive for the singer's murder.
The author did say that in addition to singing about illegal activities, other musical themes like "Getting entangled with the girlfriend of a criminal, for example, could be dangerous. The list of things you can do wrong once you're in that world gets very large."
"In that world, it's probably more dangerous to be singing romantic songs than narcocorridos because it increases the chances that somebody's girlfriend will suddenly decide that you're the cutest thing ever," he said.
Azcentral reported that the Arizona born singer was just back in Phoenix last week to celebrate his birthday. While in Phoenix, he updated his Facebook status to read, "Happy on my birthday. Even my son was with me. Thank you to everyone in Phoenix."
Torbellino performed his last concert in Scottsdale on May 23.

ELAC's Medina Outlasts PCC's Ramirez, 1-0, In 10-Inning Duel
Pasadena City College softball lefty Casey Ramirez used solid control and kept East Los Angeles off-balance in blanking the Huskies for the first nine innings Tuesday. Unfortunately for Ramirez, ELAC's Alashanee Medina overpowered PCC's hitters and set her school record for strikeouts with 21 as the Lancers fell in 10 innings, 1-0, at Robinson Park.
The South Coast Conference game might still be going if not for a controversial umpire call on a fly ball hit by ELAC in the 10th inning. With one out, PCC leftfielder Viviana Ordaz stumbled as she caught a high fly batted by Breanna Takanaka. Ordaz had the ball in her glove as she hit the artificial turf, but while on the ground and on a transfer she bounced a toss to centerfielder Vanessa Contreras. The base umpire ruled that Ordaz did not finish the catch and Takanaka reached second base on the play. Ordaz had to leave the game with a ankle sprain.
After Takanaka reached third on a wild pitch, she scored the game's lone run when PCC second baseman Justine Zavala fired a fielder's choice throw to home. Catcher Ali Lacey tried to make a swipe tag, but the home umpire ruled Lacey missed the sliding Takanaka.
Ramirez, a sophomore from Glendale High, took the hard-luck loss despite allowing just five hits, walking two and striking out four. She also received a big defensive play turned in by Contreras in the top of the ninth. With the bases loaded, Contreras made a catch in center and turned it into an 8-2 inning-ending double play with a perfect one-hop throw and tag by Lacey on ELAC's Valerie Aguilar. Ramirez set down the Huskies 1-2-3 in the second, third, fifth and sixth innings.
Medina struck out pinch hitter Jennifer Pegg for her 21st K as she completed the extra-inning, 3-hit shutout. A transfer from the College of Nevada and a product of Mark Keppel High, Medina used explosive fastballs with spot changeups to strike out 11 Lancers looking. She struck out the side in the first two innings and had two Ks in every other inning but the fifth.
The Lancers nearly scored in the sixth as Maddy Gianoli reached on a bunt single and then beat a fielder's choice throw to second on a ball hit by Lacey. The two went to second and third on a double steal. But Medina got Audrey Serna to hit a tapper that she gunned out Gianoli at home on another fielder's choice. Medina struck out Sara Quintero to end the PCC threat.
The matchup was the first time that PCC first-year head coach Monica Tantlinger faced her former college as she was an assistant on East LA coach Erika Blanco's staff in 2013.
"We played a great defensive game and Casey couldn't have pitched better," Tantlinger said. "But Medina overpowered us. It's a tough loss but we kept a good SCC team off the board for nine innings. I'm proud of our effort."
The Lancers dropped to 5-12 overall (0-6 in conference and 0-6 at their home diamond). ELAC improved to 8-4 and 4-2 in SCC play. PCC will host El Camino College-Compton Center on Thursday, Mar. 6 in a 2 p.m. contest at Robinson Park.

My Mutt Stories: Daisy
Featured My Mutt... "Daisy"
Daisy was adopted as a puppy through Hopalong & Second Chance Animal Rescue. She's 3/4 border collie genetically, but 100% border collie in personality, intelligence and drive. 12 years later she's still happy to go for a five mile run or patrol the yard for squirrels. She's been a perfect fit for our family. She and her sisters had been on the kill schedule at a rural shelter when Second Chance picked them up for another chance at adoption. We will forever be grateful for the wonderful work they do to help adoptable animals avoid euthanasia at overcrowded shelters.

Ordered 3 shirts to have embroidered with company logo. Received, embroidered, and washed prior to use. One of the shirts was at least 2 sizes too small. Others were fine. Asked for return and was denied because they were embroidered and washed. This was an obvious mislabeling at the factory but this store chose not to make it good. Will never shop there again.

Don't shop here if your order is time-sensitive. Items may not be in stock.
by tryingmybest, October 1, 2012
Do not trust this website -- they don't indicate when items are not in stock. If you're lucky, you'll receive your order on time. If not, it can take weeks as they order from the manufacturer, without even updating you about the situation. I ordered two items with expedited delivery, and promptly received a confirmation email saying that my order was "Processing." I heard nothing further from them for a week. I got nervous when the package still hadn't arrived, so I went back to their site and checked my order status and finally found out what was going on. When I spoke to an employee about this on the phone, she said their website simply "is not capable" of tracking inventory -- apparently they have no plan to fix this, in spite of all the complaints about it here and on their Facebook page.

Horrible customer service
by tuneplaya, June 22, 2012
This company is terrible..... STAY AWAY and buyer beware.
It seems they are nothing more than a storefront with no inventory and nothing but form letters for replies to inquiries.
They don't advise you items are on backorder and then when you call them to find out where your order is they give you the runaround and a date the items will ship...... lets just say 17 days later still have not heard from them and item still has not shipped.

by lkjdfakjhf, March 27, 2012
After check-out I had a message that read Express Check-Out Failed in red letters. I waited three days and never recieved any confirmation upon which time I reordered. I did recieve confimation this time but to tell me the item was not in stock, although the site said it was, and that it would ship directly from the manufacturer. I then get home two weeks later to find two pairs of boots sitting on my doorstep. I called customer service to see about a refund and was told that I could send them back for refund but I have to pay for the shipping cost. The customer service rep. that I spoke with was a joke. She wouldn't stop talking long enough to listen to what I was saying. She kept telling me that I recieved a confirmation for each order even though I told her at least four times that I only recieved one confirmation for one order. I WILL NEVER BUY FROM THIS COMPANY AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

Horrible experience, shop elsewhere!!!
by schachattack, December 5, 2011
Over 30 days and no word from these jokers yet!!!! Unbelievably slow for online retailer in the internet age!!!
Slow to respond to emails, slow to ship, they sell you stuff that they do not have in stock, and do not answer the phones.
This was the first and last order I will ever place with them as I am number 15 in line on hold for their customer service.
This takes a bad shopping experience and makes it worse.
UPDATE 12/6: They finally answered the phone after sitting on hold over 30 minutes. When I gave order number they told me they thought it shipped, could not find it in the back, and no tracking number. Told them if product did not show up by 12/7 that i would just be charging back the order on my credit card while i still can. Not much of any kind of retailer much less an internet retailer.
SECOND UPDATE: Finally got someone, they refunded my money and told me they would send me the product free. That was a week ago and still nothing. At least I got my money back! Dont trust these guys, dont waste your time, money, or effort.

Horrible communications and non-existent customer service.
by cactusmule, September 3, 2011
The website looks very nice, but that superficial appearance is as far as the quality goes. They don't seem to stock all that they sell and will delete out of stock items from an order without any notification causing additional shipping costs to get the item from a vendor that actually stocks what they sell. I regret giving workingperson.com a chance. It was a mistake that won't be repeated.

sucks for returns
by dgx1, July 19, 2011
Customer support does nothing. they lost a return i made. said they would issue a gift card. when i try to use it, it comes up wrong or expired " talked to them about it, very nice folks, they issue a new card # and the same thing happens, its like a cruel joke, be very careful about what you buy from these folks. if you need to return it, its like HELL.

It's a total scam...Be aware.

Listed item falsely as in-stock, still no money back
by jagermeister22, July 15, 2009
I spent much time looking for a very specific jacket and Working Person's Store finally had it listed as "In Stock". After taking my money for both the jacket and shipping & handling I was promised on-time arrival. After a few emails back and forth I was informed that the jacket is actually out-of-stock and cannot be delivered until August 5th. I've yet to receive my money back.

Reliable, Trusworthy and Honest : WorkingPerson.com
by contractor4, July 8, 2009
My orders have been received as expected- since 2003. I have been shopping online with WorkingPerson.com for years and have never had a problem that was not addressed quickly. They have always come through for me. The customer service department can get difficult to get through to around Christmas, but otherwise I have had a minimal hold time and everyone has been focused on taking care of me. Their returns process is very easy and fair and their prices and price matching policy is among the best I have seen. The site has always been accurate. I would highly recommend WorkingPerson.com. (I do wish they would start carrying Berne apparel.)

ok, but not impressed
by tomdang, October 9, 2008
I've been shopping for boots online as far back as I could remember, been through major popular sites such as Zappos.com, ShoeBuy.com, PapaShoe.com, Wolverine.com and Shopzilla.com. I could say that although Workingperson.com provides a comparative good package of services and a decent stock, they do not really stand out to me overall as the strongest. Boots that I want are occasionally out of stock and deliveries are less reliable.

My worst online buying experience by far!
by wwasher, August 26, 2008
I ordered from WorkingPerson.com and paid with PayPal. The web site said the shoes were in stock. I heard nothing from them. After two weeks and no shoes, I called. They claimed they had sent two emails to me. They are correct. One was saying that the email address given by PayPal was incorrect and use a different address. I used the other address and got no reply. A week later, I sent another email and got no reply. When I finally called, they said the shoes were out of stock and would been in the next week. Nothing yet. I tried the online assistance, but every time it said the operator was busy. After trying several times, I left a message asking them to call me. As of this writing I have not received a call. I won't ever buy from them again. I can't even get my order number. I would much rather pay a little more and have good customer service.

back ordered forever
by ticked58, January 25, 2008
On December 9th,2007 I ordered some Carhartt overalls for my husband and received them within 3 weeks. However, I also ordered Carhartt winter coveralls at the same time, and they went on back order..again...and again.. and again. January 25th,2008 came and still no coveralls.I called them and once again they said they are on back order..now till February. I thought their price for the coveralls was good but it wasn't worth waiting till the end of winter for them. He won't need them in the spring so I canceled my order.
I was never notified at anytime they were on back order until I complained. I had to call them every time to inquire why they had once more not been shipped. They sent me a $10 coupon for my trouble.I guess they want me to sit around for months and wait for another order. No thanks.
They will not get any future business from me!

The CORE Conference is one of the premier addiction and recovery conferences hosted by C4 Recovery Solutions to advance participants understanding of the principles behind abstinence-based recovery practices. The conference is structured as a forum to increase the collective understanding of the addiction recovery processes. The goal is to improve addiction treatment outcomes by better integrating abstinence-based practices and Twelve-Step principles into therapeutic initiatives.
Developed more than 75-years ago, the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous have withstood the test of time and science to emerge as a primary foundation for recovery from both alcoholism and drug addiction. Many addiction treatment conferences focus on science and practice but with an alarming and growing emphasis on drug replacement therapies. Recovery is increasingly playing a secondary role. While science and new clinical tools are important, they cannot replace the Twelve Steps as a key means of facilitating the personal growth that is necessary for a sustainable and long-term recovery.
