Ask an UK Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hello and thank you for your question, which I will be happy to assist you with. You are allowed to take your own notes in a disciplinary hearing. It is a basic right to ensure accuracy and fairness. Whilst a note taker is likely to be present, you should be allowed to take your own notes and challenge the inaccuracy of any of the notes that were made by the note taker. Before the notes of the meeting are finalised you should also be given the opportunity to check them and agree them. That is when you would compare your own notes with them. As to recording the disciplinary, that could be disallowed by a workplace policy. However, there has been case law that suggests even if an employee secretly records a meeting they could be allowed to use the recording as evidence in court
thankyou very much.
i intend to overtly record the meeting, with the chair's consent. if that consent is refused, i may still attempt to record it, but will definitely be taking my own notes today.
An important case in this situation is that of Dogherty v Chairman and Governors of Amwell School. Mrs Dogherty made a claim for unfair dismissal and, in the course of the case, it emerged that she had made a secret recording of both the "open" disciplinary meeting and the "private" appeal meeting. Her contract of employment did not expressly forbid secret recordings of meetings. She was allowed to use the recording of the open disciplinary meeting but not the confidential appeal hearing held behind closed doors
that is excellent! i'll probably have a bunch of follow-up questions after today's hearing, but for now, many thanks!
neither my contract of employment, nor the company's disciplinary code (or whatever they call it!) certainly do not expressly forbid either personal note-taking or recording.

Sometimes, when I'm sitting very still in the projection booth – let's say I'm statuesque – I can feel the building breathing. The rumble of some large truck down Main Street or an abusive wind, something strong and slicing, forces itself into the brick, the plaster, the concrete and rebar. The sound might be volcanic. It might be hollow. Or silent. And a vibration rises in the carpet, my chair shakes, my knees buzz at the skinny joints. I'm suspended in a swaying room, dangling high in a bird cage, and I remember that things move for a minute.
It's a groundbreaking revelation. Don't laugh.
I usually think things like sidewalks and streetlamps and staircases are stagnant. We rumble like pin balls around fixed objects doing human stuff; everything else is just different manifestations of manmade rock and boulder. But that's not true. We just have rodent hearts, frantically tattooing in our chests, and we're deliriously busy keeping up with them doing the Life.
But there are things like cells and molecules and atoms – and those are thrumming away always in every fork, book and silent bench. And the world spins.
Let's stop with that last one. Here: debut novelist Karen Thompson Walker thinks not. Imagines not. Wrote not. Celebrating the paperback release of her first book, The Age of Miracles, Walker will share her poignant vision of a planet Earth suddenly slowing its rotation this Wednesday, January 23rd at Carmichael's Bookstore.
Touted as both a staff favorite from the folks at Carmichael's as well as some big shots like Oprah, The Age of Miracles is an evocative look at humanity as the day-to-day struggles of ordinary life mesh with the mind-blowing changes of a planet now slowly turning and slowly dying in space. Following the coming-of-age of the teenaged protagonist, Julia, Miracles imposes the trials of simply growing up in the tangle of human experience over the fantastical backdrop of an Earth in environmental upheaval as the spinning of the planet inexplicably slows. Starting at 7pm, Walker will treat customers at the Frankfort Avenue store to a special reading and signing. Copies of The Age of Miracles are available in hardcover for $26.00 and now in paperback for $15.00.
Life is bouts of fidgeting on a stage of dirt and stone. We move because we have to, and we move because we're wired to. We think we're special because we can outrun trashcans and lampposts with how alive we are. But it all goes on, with or without us, on smaller, subtler stages, turning. And you can go on in tune with it if you happen to be sitting very still – statuesque – in a projection booth.
Carmichael's Bookstore has two area locations: 1295 Bardstown Road and 2720 Frankfort Avenue. For more information, visit the event page or call the Frankfort Avenue store at (502) 896-6950.

Broadway Winter 2013/Spring 2014 Guide
by Whitney Spaner, 12/09/2013

Bullets Over Broadway
"I'm an artist and I won't change one word of my play to pander to a commercial Broadway audience," says John Cusack as the struggling playwright David Shayne in Woody Allen's 1994 film Bullets Over Broadway. Shayne does end up sacrificing his creative vision, casting a mobster's girlfriend as his lead to secure funding for his production, but hopefully Allen's original vision will remain intact in his first film-to-stage transfer. The play stars Zach Braff as Shayne and The Sopranos' Vincent "Big Pussy" Pastore as the mobster turned producer. Allen adapted the script of the backstage comedy himself, and Susan Stroman, hot off the fins of the unfortunately disastrous Big Fish, will direct and choreograph the production. The drama takes place in the 1920s and includes classic music from the time period. If all goes well, Bullets may open the door for more Allen films to be transferred to the Great White Way, where the comedian first had a debut in 1960. Out of all the films in the director's expansive repertoire, this glitzy show business satire seems like the best choice to test the waters.
St. James Theatre, 246 W. 44th St. Previews start March 11; opens April 10.

Honda Rearview Report: December 14 - December 20, 2013
"With the holidays upon us, and the increased hustle and bustle of the season, it is important to take a moment to reflect on the importance of safety to all of us at Honda.
At Honda, we are making significant and ongoing investments in leading safety technologies and vehicle designs. With this in mind, we thought it might be fun to re-imagine Santa's sleigh as Honda safety engineers might have designed it.
While we don't have Rudolph's shiny nose, we are offering a comprehensive suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive features, including our unique next-generation ACE body structure that has enabled Honda and Acura to continue leading the industry with the most number of top-rated models in the safety ratings by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Our passion for safety is not only for drivers and passengers of Honda vehicles, but also includes efforts to improve the compatibility of our products with other vehicles as well as pedestrians, and everyone on the road.
From all of us at Honda to all of you, please accept our most sincere wishes for a very happy and safe holiday season."

Historical Traveler Reviews Pavilion Queen's Bay Ao Nang
Loving it.
The rooms were nice and the service was spectacular! My favourite would be the big bar with a pool table and a live band downstairs! Will definitely go back again.
Tropical Paradise
After 22 long, seemingly endless hours of flying I was anxious to get to Krabi and begin my first vacation in over a year. I picked the Pavillion Queen's Bay, not really knowing Krabi or which hotel to choose. I definitely made the right choice.
After arriving at the airport in Krabi, I left the gate area and was immediately greeted by my personal driver sent from the hotel. After a short trip from the airport to the hotel, I arrived at the hotel and was again greeted warmly by the concierge staff. I was very impressed with the vast open-air lobby which featured exquisite marble and woodwork. Check-in was quick, painless, and I was shown immediately to my room.
I was equally as impressed with the room which featured again, impressive decoration, a sumptuous bed, a huge bathroom, and my own private balcony with a large wooden swing from which I could sit on, rock, and stare off into the magnificent view. Once I got settled, I went downstairs to talk to the Concierge about where to go, what to do, etc... Needless to say, they all spoke excellent English and told me what was fun and hot in Krabi and what was not. On my way back to the hotel room, I decided to take a dip in the three level/floor pool. Set on three levels connected by cascading waterfalls and beautifully adorned with dark blue tile, I swam in bliss. For dinner that night, I decided to try the hotel restaurant on the 6th floor. I was not disappointed and had the best meal I have ever had in Thailand.
I spent the rest of my trip exploring Krabi and the surrounding islands and countryside. I did not want to leave, but alas all good things must come to an end. Check-out was as quick and painless as check-in was. It's been two months since my time in Krabi and I am planning my return already. No doubt, I will be staying at Queen's Bay again.
Best of Both Worlds
I stayed in Pavilion Queen's Bay over the New Year period in 2006. When I first got into Ao Nang, I was a little worried about the very very toursity beach strip that is similar to tacky beach holiday packages. Once I arrived at the resort I was relieved to find that the it is located a little off the main tourist strip on a hill with stunning views of both the surrounding tropical jungles as well as the sea. The decor is in perfect harmony with the hotel's tranquile surroundings. My first impression was that this hotel was perfect for a relaxing holiday.
My experience during my stay did indeed confirm my first impression of the hotel. The room we were shown to was spacious with a very comfortable king- size bed and large bathroom, and lots of wardrobe space. The hotel has a lovely 3-tiered pool with great views. The beach in main Ao Nang was very easy to get to but we preferred to get the long-tail boat to the Rai Lei beach. Ao Nang beach was too close to the bustling tourist activities for my liking, and getting away to the more spectacular beaches was also extremely easy from Ao Nang beach.
The hotel staff were all helpful, friendly and efficient, and spoke very good English. We had a wonderful New Year's Eve dinner buffet there. The hotel restaurant served really good breakfast, as well as Thai and Western food for lunch and dinner. There is also a Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant. We sampled everything during our stay and for someone who lives in Japan, I have to say that the standard of the Japanese restaurant is comparable to the very good restaurants in Japan. It tastes more interesting than traditional Japanese food, as their chiefs created some wonderful Thai-Japanese fusion dishes.
Needless to say, I had the perfect beach holiday that I expected during my stay at Pavillion Queen's Bay. It provided wonderful dining experiences as well as the best of both worlds of providing a sense of tranquility and the convienence of having easy access to the great beaches of Krabi peninsula.
Nice, quiet hotel away from the beach
if you're looking for a beach front resort, this is NOT the place you want. pavilion is located on a hill and is a fair distance from the sand. it's a dark road down the hill to the shops along Ao Nang beach.
but the rooms are clean and big. a huge bathroom, nice balcony with a swing and seating area, and thai day bed in your room. view of the sea a distance out, but you'll probably be looking at some construction work going on.
nice, but small pool. helpful staff, good breakfasts. great for a relaxing holiday
main grouse : the wooden floors are squeaky, you can hear your neighbour upstairs walking around
The only place fit for a movie star in Ao Nang!
I was worried that Krabi was going to be a dead town, like I've been told, even 9 months after the Tsunami. So imagine my surprise when I got to Pavilion Queen's Bay, stepped out of the car and the first person I saw was Christian Bale! Turns out he was shooting a movie in Krabi and was staying here, that gave me a really good first impression of the place. Love the 3-level swimming pool and the swinging bed on your private balcony! The room was very nice, huge bathroom, and lots of gorgeous Thai silk in the decor. Tried the Spa and that was very glamorously decorated too. By far the classiest looking place in Ao Nang, Krabi!
Wish I could rate this zero
What a disappointment! This hotel was definitely not a four or five star hotel! First of all, the management was horrible. They were actually sleeping on the job since there were almost no guests at the hotel.
The pool was not able to be used for either of the 2 stays.
A BIG DEAL -- I don't know about you but I like privacy when I use the bathroom. The bathrooms are lovely but are Thai double doors. This means that when they are closed, your roommate can peak in at the sides anyway. I do not expect people to speak my language when I am in their country but usually a 4 star hotel speaks English -- these people spoke NO ENGLISH! That was OK, I am good at charades.
The bed is unusually hard and the food from either room service or the upstairs hotel, not good.
The hotel is VERY far from the beach although we never saw the beach anyway. We were "upgraded" to a sea view but could not see the sea. We overlooked a construction site and mountains on the other side. I think the reason they placed us on that side of the hotel was so that we would not overlook the Thai Village Resort accross the street as it was MUCH nicer.
I would definitely recommend that you stay at The Cliffs or something else.
Unfortunately, I had pictures but in a disagreement with the people who I travelled with, they have not sent me all the picturs that we took together. It was their camera so I cannot complain but I did want to do a more comprehensive review on Tripadvisor. Sorry, folks.
Anyway, TRUST me, do not stay here! If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. Thanks.
Would not recommend at all if you like 4-5*.
Sorry to be negative, but for us - this was a huge disappointment. We looked for a pampering hotel, right on the beach, with direct access, as well as proximity to restaurants and shops.
It is indeed close to the Ao Nang main road where there are plenty of shops, bars, restaurants, etc. But it is nowhere near a beach and has no access to its own stretch of beach.
The rooms were tired, and in need of refurbishment. The whole area in front of the hotel was being built and developped when we were there, a year ago.
We did not stay - we immediately asked to be moved -we were there for a whole week and would not compromise- and were very happy elsewhere (Sheraton). We may have missed elements like great service and food. We would not know. But if you are after a pampering, high standard place and on a beach holiday want the beach to be part of it, this is definitely not for you.
Mixed feelings
Arrived the middle of feb 05, and weren't sure what to expect because of the Tsunami. Fortunately the resort received minimal damage and things were pretty much back to normal, with the exception of fewer tourists.
The hotel was lovely and the room was an excellent size, but the resort was only around 15% full meant there wasn't much of an atmosphere. The hotel seemed to be running a limited service, as the restaurants and bars were closed and all meals & drinks were served in one area, there was no buffet breakfast instead we had a limited A la Carte service, no in room dining menu, coffee/tea facilities not replaced after use, internet not available.
The resort was operating with limited staff, but they seemed to be in need of training as a few little things were missing. Alarm calls were missed or late/early (by about 20-25 mins), calls to housekeeping where they were to get back to me were never returned, reconfirming flights seemed to cause a problem and on the last day our transfer, which we had prearranged with the hotel and reconfirmed the time with a few days before departure, was late because the driver was late.
A lovely hotel but because of our negative experience we would look at other resorts if returning to Krabi
Perfect hotel to relax and to be pampered
We stayed in Pavilion Queen's Bay in January 2004 and can really recommend it. The hotel is beautifully refurbished in Lana Thai style. The staff is very friendly and the athmosphere of the hotel is nice and quiet. All the rooms have a large balcony with seaview. Breakfast is served on top of the hotel (seaview) and the best we had in Thailand. The hotel guest are mostly people who want to relax. The hotel reaches the four standard and even five. The downside is in our opinion that the location of the little town Aonang where the hotel is situated is already spoiled by tourism. Too many tourists destroyed the beach, the coral reefs and Thai hospitality. The best is to stay in the hotel and ignore the village. Therefore we unfortunally will not return. But if you intend to visit Aonang / Krabi, definitely stay in Pavilion Queen's Bay.

Photos from my friend Jonathan Canlas always make my day, doubly so when they're photos from a San Francisco wedding. So excited to share them with you today, especially with all the lovely details from Ashley and John.
Whenever anyone asks me for advice with coming up with a look for their wedding, I suggest using the venue first, then the season, to help shape the aesthetic. It's the best way to end up with decor and details that are cohesive and make sense, and it's exactly how Ashley and John determined a look for their wedding:
We first had our heart set on a winery wedding: we both love wine and the wine country, and thought it would make a beautiful backdrop for our wedding, but after months of looking unsuccessfully for a venue that met both our needs and our pocketbook, we realized that maybe we should broaden our search. We found The Hamilton Ballroom after researching many locations. The Hamilton Ballroom is an Art Deco hotel (since converted into condominiums) built in 1929, and we let it be our guide for the wedding's style. The patio had an urban garden feel and the lobby and ballroom played up all the great Art Deco features. We took those two features and built upon them.
Our favorite moment was the ceremony. John and I worked together to write a couple's letter, which we read at the end of the ceremony. It felt great to profess our commitment to each other. We were able to have the priest that baptized me, marry us. With it being Fleet Week our guests were treated to the Blue Angels buzzing the church during the ceremony.
John was very particular about the wine we served, and then I worked with Magpie Paper Works to design a surprise wine label for him, using a name John had come up with: "Both Coasts" to represent the two coasts we come from.
Katherine, our florist from Cherries, was amazing. She was able to transform the patio into a private vintage garden oasis. She used her collection of vintage pieces to hold the flowers, and sugared fruits down the center of our long tables.
I was able to use my grandmother's topper on our cake. In addition to our red velvet wedding cake, we had a dessert bar that brought together our respective heritages: French macarons and Italian cannoli.
Ashley's advice? Hire a wedding planner! It was so nice not to have myself or anyone in the wedding party dealing with the set-up/breakdown for the day.

I'm getting married Memorial Day weekend in our hometown, Huntington Beach, California at the Newland Barn. I am completely lost when it comes to how to decorate the inside of the barn where we will have the cocktail hour and cake. We're on a budget and aren't afraid of DIY, can you please send some suggestions my way?
Love, Jill and Sean

I understand how important the setting and the season can be for a wedding theme. I so wanted a destination wedding in the Thousand Islands, NY in the summertime, but my mother was worried about guest traveling.
In order to appease her I looked at venues in my hometown in Western NY. And I found the perfect venue…for the winter. The Timerlodge Banquet Facility, http://www.timberlodgebanquet.com/
has a fantastic elegant ski lodge type look, and now I'm smitten with it!
I'm still deciding whether a snowy January wedding is worth the trouble, but I'm sure something will be figured out. :)

In California, employees who are fired used to be able to bring a wrongful termination in violation of public policy action under Labor Code Section 132a against their employers. Labor Code Section 132a protects employees from being retaliated against for filing or intending to file worker's compensation claims against their employers. After a recent California court of appeals decision, Dutra v. Mercy Medical Center, wrongful termination claims may not be viable in court based on Section 132a
Michelle Dutra injured her back and was subsequently terminated from her job less than two months later after her injury. Ms. Dutra then sued her employer, claiming that she had been terminated in violation of public policy for filing a worker's compensation claim. The trial court dismissed the wrongful termination case since it determined the Worker Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) has exclusive jurisdiction for claims under Section 132a though it permitted plaintiff an opportunity to amend her complaint.
So what's the problem with the WCAB determinng wrongful termination in violation of public policy claims based on Section 132a? The WCAB provides workers a streamlined, no-fault way to determine the extent of their claim for work-place injuries and compensation without delving into liability, or any other common law defenses that are typically available in litigation. The reasoning is that these work-place injury claims would be quickly resolved under the WCAB's no-fault system. But the remedies available under the WCAB severely limit employees' ability to recover damages. For examples, employees filing Section 132 a claims cannot claim future wage loss and are only able to recover up to $10,000 in penalties for back pay! Also, attorney fees are unavailable under Section 132a claims.
In Dutra, the Appeals court affirmed the trial court's decision. Here's the court's reasoning: First, relying on City of Moorepark v. Superior Court, the Dutra court stated that allowing plaintiffs to pursue common law tort claims based on Section 132a would provide the plaintiff broader remedies than Section 132a allows. In other words, if the public policy that supports the wrongful termination claim has limitations such as requiring specific procedures and narrower remedies, then allowing plaintiff to pursue the tort claim will enlarge the remedies and procedures provided by statute. Second, although City of Moorepark did allow a plaintiff to pursue common law wrongful termination remedies, in Dutra, plaintiff failed to avail her of those other remedies refusing to amend her complaint.
Despite the court's reasoning, the decision should have little impact in how employees pursue wrongful termination cases in violation of public policy. Remember City of Moorepark provided that a plaintiff could still pursue remedies under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). So employees should still bring claims under the FEHA for disability claims if their injuries arise to the definition of disability or perceived disability under FEHA. Also, workers fired for filing worker's comp claims can bring wrongful termination claims based on the California constitution (Article XIV, section 4), which provides employees access to a workers compensation system. Whether or not Section 132a may be the basis for wrongful termination in violation of public policy claims will need to be tested with other cases in light of Dutra.
A more concrete fix to ensure workers who complain about their workplace injuries are not subject to retaliation and termination is for the legislature to step in and amend Section 132a. If the legislature amends Section 132a to allow for civil actions and clarifies that statutory remedies under Section 132a are in addition to common law remedies, this will resolve any ambiguities created by Dutra. In addition, attorney fees should also be allowed for civil actions brought under Section 132a so that workers may be able to retain attorneys to pursue their claims in court. With these basic changes at the very least employees who are terminated or discriminated as a result of filing a worker's compensation claims will be able to make sure that they have a fair avenue to vindicate their rights.

Notable CDs
Notable CDs | Four new or recent classical CDs reviewed by Arsenio Orteza
Anna Bon Di Venezia: Six Sonatas for Harpsichord, Opus 2
Style: "These inventive, charming [18th-century] sonatas for harpsichord give a glimpse of . . . the transition period from the Baroque to the Classical" (liner notes).
Worldview: That neither the age of a composer (Bon composed these sonatas in her teens) nor her obscurity (she vanishes from history in 1767) matter where music of genuine timelessness is concerned.
Overall quality: Arresting. One needn't be a "feminist" in the contemporary sense to join Harbach in celebrating the women composers whose music she has made it her mission to rediscover.
Bach: Inventions & Partita
Style: Violin, viola, and cello transcriptions of Bach's "Two-part inventions," BWV 772-786; "Partita No. 2 in D minor for solo violin," BWV 1004; and "Three-part inventions," BWV 787-801.
Worldview: "[Chamber music] is one of my great loves, and, of course, the repertoire is incredible" (Jansen, the liner notes).
Overall quality: By performing on a 1727 Stradivarius violin, Jansen not only brings these Bach favorites to life for those who prefer strings to keyboards but also does so with an instrument created during (and obviously lovingly preserved since) Bach's lifetime.
Friedrich Cerha/Franz Schreker
Style: Twentieth-century Austrian music represented by two of its greatest composers, one living (Cerha: "Konzert für Violoncello und Orchester", c. 1989-1996), one long deceased (Schreker: "Kammersymphonie in einem Satz," 1916).
Worldview: Implicitly, that in Austrian music composed during World War I and during the dying days of Eastern European communism one can discern a spirit in rich rebellion against machinations of dehumanization.
Overall quality: Endlessly fascinating, suggestive less of the beatific or of the sinister than of their seemingly endless conflict.
Opera Fantasies for Violin
Livia Sohn, Benjamin Loeb
Style: Instrumental variations on musical themes from operas both well known (Carmen, Lohengrin, The Threepenny Opera) and less so (Stravinsky's Mavra, Bizet's The Pearl Fishers).
Worldview: That operas contain, embedded within trappings that are by no means to everyone's taste, much wonderful music-"trees," as it were, that the "forest" sometimes makes it easy to overlook.
Overall quality: The violinist Livia Sohn earns her top billing, but her accompanist Benjamin Loeb, fresh from his latest album of Scott Joplin rags, demonstrates an impressive virtuosity as well.
"I can resist everything," says a character in a Wilde play, "except temptation." Likewise, there are people who can enjoy everything about opera except the costumes, the plots, the librettos, and the singing. What's left? The music, and it is the music, as well as the virtuosity of its performers, that the 19th-century genre known as "operatic fantasy" sought to emphasize, thus making it a favorite among those who believe that opera should be heard and not seen.
A particularly charming introduction is Opera Fantasies for Violin (Naxos) by the violinist Livia Sohn and the pianist Benjamin Loeb. Aside from their musicality, Sohn and Loeb have recorded a program containing enough familiar melodies (Hubay's "Fantasie brillante on Bizet's Carmen, Op. 3, No.3"; Raff's "Duo on themes from Wagner's Lohengin, Op. 63, No. 3," aka "The Wedding March"; Weill's "Song of Human Insufficiency/Mack the Knife") to attract listeners to such less-known delights by composers such as Osvaldo Golijov and Stephen Prutsman.

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
There is a common misconception that if you live together for a certain length of time (seven years is what many people believe), you are common-law married. This is not true anywhere in the United States.
While some states do recognize common law if certain guidelines are followed NY is not one of them.
Since you live in a state that doesn't recognizes common law marriage there is no way to form a common law marriage, no matter how long you live with your partner. There is one catch: if you spend time in a state that does recognize common law marriage, "hold yourself out as married," and then return or move to a state that doesn't recognize it, you are still married (since states all recognize marriages that occurred in other states). However, this is murky legal territory and we don't recommend experimenting with it without a experience family law attorney.
Here are those states and their regulations:
Alabama: The requirements for a common-law marriage are: (1) capacity; (2) an agreement to be husband and wife; and (3) consummation of the marital relationship.Colorado: A common-law marriage may be established by proving cohabitation and a reputation of being married.
Iowa: The requirements for a common-law marriage are: (1) intent and agreement to be married; (2) continuous cohabitation; and (3) public declarations that the parties are husband and wife.
Kansas: For a man and woman to form a common-law marriage, they must: (1) have the mental capacity to marry; (2) agree to be married at the present time; and (3) represent to the public that they are married.
Montana: The requirements for a common-law marriage are: (1) capacity to consent to the marriage; (2) an agreement to be married; (3) cohabitation; and (4) a reputation of being married.
Oklahoma: To establish a common-law marriage, a man and woman must (1) be competent; (2) agree to enter into a marriage relationship; and (3) cohabit.
Pennsylvania: A common-law marriage may be established if a man and woman exchange words that indicate that they intend to be married at the present time.
Rhode Island: The requirements for a common-law marriage are: (1) serious intent to be married and (2) conduct that leads to a reasonable belief in the community that the man and woman are married.
South Carolina: A common-law marriage is established if a man and woman intend for others to believe they are married.
Texas: A man and woman who want to establish a common-law marriage must sign a form provided by the county clerk. In addition, they must (1) agree to be married, (2) cohabit, and (3) represent to others that they are married.
Utah: For a common-law marriage, a man and woman must (1) be capable of giving consent and getting married; (2) cohabit; and (3) have a reputation of being husband and wife.
Washington, D.C.: The requirements for a common-law marriage are: (1) an express, present intent to D.C. be married and (2) cohabitation.

I'm getting married next year and since most of the guests are going to be ISU grads/fans, I'd like to play the ISU football helmet shuffle video at some point (maybe at this point the fiancée will remove me from all wedding planning decisions - but I think it sounds like a fun idea). Anyone know where a person could get a hold of it?
Best bet would be to email Pollard.

Gameday Marketing is a function of the athletics department. Most of them are undergraduate Iowa State marketing students.
However, I do doubt they'd just give that video away.
You could somehow edit this video maybe and put ISU in.

Weston cyclist, 26, dies after minor fall
12:18 05 April 2012
A 26-YEAR-OLD man has collapsed and died following a minor fall while on a mountain biking trip in New Zealand.
Philip Bergman, from Weston, was among a group of 10 people taking part in a downhill bike ride in the Cardrona Valley.
New Zealand police say they had just started out when he had a minor fall from his bike.
He stood up and immediately collapsed again.
Attempts were made to resuscitate Mr Bergman before a medical team arrived by air, but he was declared dead at the scene.
Friend John Consitt, 30, was with Mr Bergman when he died last Monday and has described him as a "top bloke" whose greatest passion was mountain biking.
"He started having a seizure or a fit of some sort and it lasted for a few minutes," he explained.
He said Mr Bergman was struggling to breathe.
Mr Bergman had lived in New Zealand's Dunedin since he travelled to the country to follow England's Rugby World Cup matches in September last year.
"I met him seven months ago in a hostel," explained Mr Consitt. "He was always smiling and got on with everyone. He was just a top bloke."
Mr Bergman's father, Harry, had hoped to visit New Zealand for the first time later this year for a holiday with his son. Instead he arrived to repatriate his son's body to England.
"I think the reason he came here was because there's such a diversity of [adventure lifestyle opportunities]," he said.
"Everything that was presented to him through his friends was a challenge and he wanted to do it ... that's what he was all about, he wanted to test himself."
Meeting Philip's friends and hearing about the mark his son had made on so many people's lives had been particularly special, Mr Bergman said.
"It's mind-blowing knowing that my son's touched everybody's heart."
Philip had no pre-existing medical problems, and preliminary reports from the post-mortem examination ruled out brain trauma and cardiac arrest, Mr Bergman said.
"We just can't get our heads around why this has happened. He was gung ho at everything and physically fit enough to tackle all sorts of obstacles regarding physical activity."

Adult Breastfeeding with Two Light Plumpers
Estrella and Sophia are a couple of light plumpers with milky boobs. As you know, it's not unusual to do shoots with two, or even three, girls who are all have milky boobs. But it is very unusual to have a girls like Estrella who is still lactating herself but who's also willing to do adult breastfeeding from another girl like Sofia. I also have girls who drink their own milk but that's another shoot and another story and a really huge pair of milky boobs.
You should recognize Estrella as her and her milky boobs have been in several previous shoots. But Sophia is brand new with a baby who's just a couple of months old and a whole bunch of milk in those per little milky tits.
Even though the girls didn't know each other beforehand they got friendly pretty quickly and had a great time squirting milk and messing around. Don't miss Estrella and Sofia in adult breastfeeding action.

Jim Cramer's 25 Rules of Investing (Rules 16 – 20)
Posted By Jim On 05/25/2005 @ 1:10 pm In Investing,Personal Finance | No Comments
This is part four of five on alleged "25 rules of investing" that Jim Cramer has listed on his site, TheStreet.com, plus my own commentary. The first five were basically cute little catch phrases on some common-sense rules. Rules six through ten were a little more insightful, speaking to more subtle ideas such as not buying a crappy stock because you think it'll be acquired (because it probably won't). The early to mid-teens touched on some rules for the more experienced investor or someone who just needs a little prodding to ensure they're looking at everything objectively. Let's see what the next five yield…
Rule No. 17 – Check Hope At The Door [4]
This is another one those "kick you in the head" type rules – a rule you know, I know, everyone knows but because of human nature, we ignore it. Don't hope a stock will go back up, don't hope that it'll split or get acquired, leave hope at the door because she can't guess the market any better than million dollar mutual fund managers.
Rule No. 18 – Be Flexible [5]
Stocks don't live in a vacuum and things change. Conditions that made your purchase a good decision (at least in your mind) may not exist anymore, so get out. Don't buy and hold through turbulent times if the turbulance affects the very reasons why you purchased the stock.
Rule No. 19 – When the Chiefs Retreat, So Should You [6]
This isn't a rule about insider trading – everyone can tell you that when an exec sells stock, you probably want to also. This is better: When a CEO quits for personal reasons, dump the stock. You should also read this article because it's pretty funny. Here's an excerpt:
CEOs don't quit for personal reasons. CFOs don't quit for personal reasons. These are fabulous jobs. You get them after giving up much of what people enjoy about life, such as family, friends and nights out.
Rule No. 20 – Giving Up on Value Is a Sin [7]
Buying low, selling high – and waiting after you do buy low. He details some examples of stocks at 52-week lows with tremendous value but no buyers. The reason, he claims, is because investors aren't patient enough to buy into these "lows" and wait for the highs to rematerialize. He has good points but I don't think most of us know if we're looking at a valley or if we're looking at cliff.
Only five left… look for them in the coming days.

Issue 1419
With Bio-Waste Spreader: "The problem with closing cattle markets is that it throws an increasing number of beef farmers on the mercy of deadweight sales. Under this system, rather than a bullock being valued through competitive open cry bidding by a number of buyers, it is sent direct to an abattoir and valued after slaughter This method, which has come to dominate beef marketing, is favoured by large food retailers who like the traceability of cattle moving direct to slaughter from farms But beef farmers are coming to rue the day they were persuaded to adopt the deadweight measure...
With M.D.: "On 8 June, high court action by the junior doctor group Justice for Health is due to start to determine whether health secretary Jeremy Hunt can legally impose the latest version of the new contract, as he has repeatedly threatened, if junior doctors and medical students vote to reject it. Any contract is only as safe as the staff available to work it, and well find out in August how many rota gaps need to be filled by imaginary nurses
With Dr B Ching: "Some of Britains Super Express trains might have become surplus to requirements before theyve even been built, but they will still have to be paid for. While the Department for Transport was devising the next intercity trains, it ignored warnings that they would be expensive and hard to adapt to unpredicted changes (Eye 1284). It organised a private-finance deal which guarantees huge regular contract payments until 2046, regardless of whether the Hitachi-built trains are ever used
With Remote Controller: "Some viewers and reviewers seek to extend the Latin injunction to posthumous positivity, De mortuis nihil nisi bonum, to television programmes about the dead: never speak ill of TV obits. But it should be possible to criticise a tribute without being seen to diss the subject. There are good and bad obituaries and the ones last week for Victoria Wood and Jimmy Hill added insult to death
[reviews of Lets Do It: A Tribute to Victoria Wood (ITV) and Jimmy Hill: A Man for All Seasons (BBC1)]
With Old Sparky: "Burning biomass and waste represents 72 percent of the UKs renewable energy, as officially classified for the purposes of paying subsidies and meeting EU-imposed renewable targets. No wonder former energy secretary Ed Davey said Oh shit! when, in 2014, he was shown new research demonstrating that the fastest growing category of UK biomass use electricity from burning trees, as approved by his policies potentially caused even more CO2 emissions than burning coal, as well as much higher levels of other pollutants
With Piloti: "Along with an ugly skyline marred by burgeoning mediocre towers, Boris Johnsons legacy as London mayor also includes the project for the gratuitous Garden Bridge. His successor, Sadiq Khan, was ambivalent about the project pre-election and soon afterwards announced an inquiry into the way the design by Thomas Heatherwick was chosen and procured (an official report having concluded that Johnson was less than honest about his role). Alas, Khan has now feebly decided to back the bridge, albeit with conditions, such as being more accessible to the capitals residents
With Lunchtime OBoulez: "Musicians are as exercised as everyone else by the Remain or Leave question; but if bureaucrats in Brussels had actively wanted the music world to hate them, they couldnt have done better than to kill off the European Union Youth Orchestra. Which they just have
With Slicker: "The Citys most ambitious insider-trading investigation, Operation Tabernula, cost £14m and took more than eight years from tip-off to a trial at Southwark Crown Court. The trial lasted 55 days spread over 12 weeks, followed by 11 days of deliberations, and resulted in majority verdicts two weeks ago, convicting two of five defendants. The Financial Conduct Authority (which inherited the case from the Financial Services Authority) aimed to prosecute all the links in a classic alleged insider-dealing chain the insider source, a middleman cut-out and the traders. But only the first two links were proved
Letter from Dhaka
from Our Own Correspondent: "Our Awami League government is becoming increasingly inventive in the reasons its finds to arrest opponents. Led by Sheikh Hasina, the league is now in its second consecutive term in power after our opposition parties largely the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and Jamaat-e-Islami boycotted the January 2014 national elections fearing (rightly) there would be systemic manipulation. As a result more than half our current members of parliament were elected unopposed, and the rest following uncompetitive contests. Now in total control over the police, the lower courts and most other once independent institutions, the new governments mission is to weaken its political opponents and remove any kind of political, media or other perceived threat to its power

Battered women among bad economy's victims
The stay was supposed to be temporary. A couple of weeks, maybe. A month at the most. When Tay checked into Cornerstone, a Bloomington domestic violence shelter, the only thing on her mind was getting herself and her four children away from her abusive stepdad.
Tay (last name withheld by request) checked herself and her four children into a boxlike 12-x-15-foot unit on July 14, 2008. The cramped living space was a far cry from the comparatively spacious five-bedroom in Eden Prairie where she'd been living. But, she reminded herself, it's only temporary.
More than eight months later, Tay and her family still live in the same unit. She shares the house with about 40 other victims of domestic violence (including children). They are crowded into a five-unit space meant to house 35.
Centers devoted to helping victims fill out the necessary legal paperwork for protection have seen their budgets and staffs gutted. Minnesota's shelters for battered women (which have a total of 662 beds) find themselves overwhelmed by a flood of victims who are finding it harder to get back on their feet because of the high jobless rate.
"I've been doing this work for about 25 years, and I have never seen a convergence of issues that impacted battered women in the way that this does now," says Susan Neis, Cornerstone's executive director. "I don't think we've ever seen a time when so many elements were working against women—men, too—who are fleeing someone that was supposed to love them that was going to hurt them."
It's an old truism that in bad economies, men lash out at their wives and girlfriends. It turns out to be a bit more complicated than that.
"It would be unfair to say economic stress causes domestic violence," says Deb Foster, director of development and communications for the Minnesota Coalition for Battered Women. "But when controlling or abusive tendencies are already present, an increase in financial strife will lead to an increase in the frequency or severity of abuse."
In 2006, the Minnesota Domestic Violence Crisis Line received roughly 500 calls per month; that figure has now climbed to more than 900. Shelters are experiencing the same thing. Incoming calls to Minneapolis-based Harriet Tubman Shelter's headquarters are up about 20 percent so far this year, says Martha Naegeli, Tubman's chief development officer.
This increase in demand, combined with difficulty finding jobs during the recession, has transformed battered women's shelters from transitional recuperative sanctuaries into de facto homeless shelters.
"Victims are having a much more difficult time accessing safe, affordable housing, which means that they're staying much more longer than in years and months past," says Cyndi Cook, executive director of the Minnesota Coalition for Battered Women.
In the early 2000s, the typical length of stay at a women's shelter in Minnesota was 8 to 11 days. Now the average is 32 days and climbing. Consequently, many shelters, particularly those in the metro, are operating above capacity.
To deal with the glut, Cornerstone's Day One program has had to relocate victims to other sites, busing women to places like Willmar and Bemidji. In the past three years, the number of outstate-bound victims has nearly tripled, from 15 per month in 2006 to 44 per month so far in 2009.
The woes don't end there. Getting help in the first place has proven more difficult in recent months. To secure an order for protection, victims of domestic abuse must first file a petition. For those in the metro, this means making a trip to the Domestic Abuse Service Center in the basement of the Hennepin County Government Center.
But last year, the center saw its staff nearly halved from seven to four. Advocates worried then that the cuts would make it more difficult for victims to get the help they needed. Ten months later, those fears have proven well-founded. Since the first of the year, lines have been forming outside the center, sometimes a half-hour before it opens. Some victims have had to be turned away or directed to other sites.
"We know of one woman who took time off her job to go down there, only to be turned down and told to return the next day," says Carol Arthur, executive director, Domestic Abuse Project. "She was abused so violently that that night she ended up in Hennepin County hospital."
Even the current inadequate level of staffing may be seeing cuts. Two temporary staffers—brought on board about three months ago to ease the burden—will see their stints end in June.
"Whether we continue to be able to help staff the DASC depends on our funding level," says Hennepin County Chief Judge James Swenson. "We have an obligation first and foremost to fund things that are purely a judicial branch function before we start helping handle executive branch functions."
Back at Cornerstone, Tay sits with Susan Neis in a well-furnished basement meeting room, a room larger than her living quarters. Tomorrow will likely entail more calls to try to find an apartment. More applications. More uncertainty.
"I don't feel like an accomplished mother," Tay says. "It's like I want to curl up in a ball every day. But I don't, because I don't want my kids to see."

Building value, one customer at a time
Helping customers comes naturally to Alice Nguyen, an American Family agent in Wichita, Kan.
"I don't approach each of my customers as a sales person, but more like a trusted friend. And I offer really good advice on how to prepare for the unexpected," she says.
This friendly and smart philosophy has enabled her to build her business by getting customers exactly the right coverage they need and can afford.
Take, for example, Israel Portal, one of her newest customers.
"I had been paying too much for car insurance, and so I met with Alice," says Israel. "She explained everything step by step – all the different coverage options and features. American Family was less expensive than the other companies, and much better across the board."
A sad event recently spurred him to buy life insurance as well. His brother died in El Salvador, Israel's native country.
"My brother had no life insurance, and he had three children – just like me," says Israel. "This made me think about getting good life insurance. So I talked with Alice, and she gave me options."
Israel chose an American Family Life Insurance Company life policy to meet his needs and says, "I'm very happy with it."
Alice always describes in practical terms the value of American Family coverage, which her customers appreciate.
"I'm always helping customers by explaining the basics, and why they need adequate coverage," says Alice. "I give them examples, too. If a customer wants car insurance, I'll say, 'I know you're a careful driver, but what if someone hits you? Even if you're not severely hurt, the X-rays and other hospital costs just to make sure you're all right would likely be more than car insurance payments.'"
She also makes it clear why certain options can also add value.
"When you take time to explain options to customers, they're not as concerned with the price as they are with the overall value of what you have just offered," says Alice.
Originally from Vietnam, Alice recently became a U.S. citizen, which is a big source of pride. As you might guess, her fluency in Vietnamese definitely comes in handy with customers from her home country.
"We also have Spanish-speaking staff, which makes a big difference with a number of customers," she says.
No matter what language Alice and her staff use, they always strive to give customers the best possible insurance value available."I do my homework to offer what each customer needs," she says with a smile. "I love my job, and I enjoy helping customers."

See video on its original page
This video was inspired by historian Dr. Sally Roesch Wagner who brilliantly determined to preserve and document the writings of suffragist Matilda Joslyn Gage. In the 19th century, Gage complained that women of means funded their husbands' alma maters, churches and the ballet, but rarely stepped forward to fund their suffragette sisters. Imagine how different the world would be today if women had begun funding women sooner! This fast-moving video shows how today's women's funding movement, and new giving trends like Women Moving Millions, are literally changing the course of history.

Thanks to all the efforts of women and men to conceive of and produce this video as a excellent educational tool. And much great thanks to all the women over the years who have supported the work of the women's movements!

Barbara Alice Mann July 28, 2010, 4:23 a.m. UTCImportant to get all this out, but where was any mention of Genevieve Vaughan, who has spearheaded the gift-economy movement for about forty years now?

Ariel Dougherty August 5, 2010, 5:41 a.m. UTCBarbara Alice Mann is absolutely correct. Fortunately also on this site is Giving For Giving, a splendid feature-documentary about the many decades of Gen Vaughan's exceptional giving. It has been a remarkable path which stretches from supporting women's media to global women's peace and economic issues with a paradigm shift. Giving For Giving underscores how glaring Vaughan's omission is from A Brief History of the Women's Donor Activist Movement.

DENVER - The Avalanche Information Center has released a preliminary report into what triggered an avalanche at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area over the weekend.
The report confirms the slide was triggered by skiers. An A-Basin ski patroller was leading a group of 14 skiers when the avalanche was triggered in west Montezuma Bowl.
The skiers were caught and carried down the mountain in the avalanche that was 330-feet wide and up to 12-feet deep.
One person was buried in the snow, but no one was seriously injured.
The area was closed to the general public, but the Summit County resort says it had undergone "extensive" avalanche mitigation in recent days.

Both formal and informal processes support these relationships. For example, due to opportunities identified by students, primarily through the SSI, the college has revised its new student enrollment process to pair new students (and in many cases parents, spouses, families and other advocates) with trained and skilled core advisers for one-on-one, individualized academic counseling and advising.
