Drop the weapon and play 'It's Only Love'!
Tina Turner is ready to make her comeback (again) and is plotting her first tour in nearly a decade.
According to the Reuters news service, the 68-year-old Turner decided to give it another go after friend and film legend Sophia Loren told her it was "time to hit the road again."
( I would have guessed that seeing Syesha Mercardo doing a Halloween-esque version of "Proud Mary" on "American Idol" would have been reason enough to return. Please, wash that performance from our minds.)
The tour begins Oct. 1 in Kansas City and continues through Dec. 8 in Montreal. Only two Florida dates are currently listed: Nov. 2 in Fort Lauderdale and Nov. 5 in Orlando. Click here to see the full list.
Tina owned the 80s, recording 25 songs that hit the charts either in the U.S. or abroad. Still, my personal favorite Tina moment? No, not a song. Her role as "Aunty Entity" in 1985's "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome."
"You know the law: Two men enter, one man leaves."

Three York men were arrested in the early hours of today following three burglaries at commercial premises across the York area overnight.
The arrests followed a police pursuit through York after the alarm was raised at 4.30am of a burglary underway in outbuildings on Heslington Road.
When officers arrived at the scene of the burglary the suspects drove off in an Audi TT, sparking a police chase which continued along Thief Lane, Lilac Avenue, Tang Hall Lane, Melrosegate and into Constantine Avenue.
The car was abandoned in the area of Constantine Avenue and the suspects fled on foot.
Police officers and a police dog chased them and arrested them all in the Tang Hall area. A 29-year-old man was arrested in Constantine Avenue, a 28-year-old man was arrested in Derwent Avenue, and a 24-year-old man was arrested in Hewley Avenue. A fourth man was arrested in the area, but has been discounted from the investigation.
The three were arrested on suspicion of offences including burglary and motoring offences while the 24 and 29-year-old men were also arrested on suspicion of vehicle theft.
All three are in custody and being questioned about burglaries in Heslington Road, York, Murton and Dunnington. Two of the suspects are also being questioned in relation to the theft of the Audi TT which was used in the burglaries. It was reported stolen from premises in Strensall and used in the burglary on Heslington Road.
In a separate incident, a Volkswagen Lupo was seen near the scene of the burglary in Dunnington at speed. Officers' suspicions were raised by the actions of the driver and the vehicle was followed by police officers.
The Volkswagen was located abandoned on Buttercrambe Road and two suspects arrested nearby, one aged 17 and one aged 22. The 22-year-old was later released without charge, while the 17-year-old remains on police bail in relation to driving offences. At this stage, it is believed there was no connection to the burglary.

I can't believe I am writing this. Admitting I use a psychic, well at least to my family, would conjure looks of disdain followed by rhetorical questions intended to humiliate: Why would you give up your power to someone else? How can some else know better than you? Why do you want to know your future? How do you know if they are telling you the truth?
While I would argue on the same side as they, the fact that you can ask someone else about any number of things — will a potential business partner be trustworthy, a job worth taking, a move advisable, how to handle a difficult relationship, why is this happening to me — and get an accurate answer is truly incredible. It's so hard to believe that I have made the challenge, "Aren't you just reading my mind or how I feel, not what's really true beyond my knowing?"
Kallista, a remarkable psychic, says she does not read your mind or just pick up your thoughts. She said if readings worked that way, they would be useless to people. She says she reads the truth as it pertains to each individual. Once she told me that going on a trip would be highly beneficial, while she told a close friend that going on the exact same trip would not be a wise choice for her. Thus she was not reading the trip, but the value of the trip for the person who asked.
I imagine everyone at some point experiences unbearable anxiety that comes from not knowing what's the best choice to make. The time wasted in weighing the scales can feel criminal. You can get so stuck in your head that confusion and chaos set in, even depression. Getting advice from friends, talking to a therapist, meditating, avoidance, all these methods sometimes don't help. At times like these, listening to a good psychic can give much needed perspective and valued advice. If the answers resonate with you, it alleviates the anxiety and gives you confidence in moving forward. Of course, if the information does not, it takes a leap of faith to follow the advice of the psychic or do the opposite for that matter.
The primary issue is how do you find a good psychic. Unfortunately, it is probably easier to find a psychic who does not give you useful or accurate information than one that does. Like most things, a personal recommendation is best, and like most things, what works for me may not work for you. This is why it's unfair to blame the recommender, if you don't like what you get.
Not all psychics read the same. Some can give you a deep psychological map that can be useful, others can give specific directives as clear as go right or left, and still others can give you a look into your future, and some can do it all. I even know a psychic who reads your Akashic Records gaining access to your past lives and their relevance for the now and the future. How accurate your psychic is, you'll find out soon enough. If you follow what is suggested, you'll know by the result you get and if you don't follow what is recommended, you'll know by the result you get. By this track record you can discern if this particular psychic is worth speaking to again. I recommend writing down everything a psychic says. That way you can check, even a year or more later, their level of accuracy.
Russel Targ, the renowned physicist who did ESP and psychic abilities research at Stanford Research Institute for the CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency, said you know a good psychic because they won't ask you a lot of questions. The less information they have the better. This is why working with someone on the phone can often times lead to more accurate information than in person, where the psychic may be distracted by too much information (the way you look, dress, think, emotionally respond, etc.). True, some psychics will only see you in person. It might just be my luck, but those have never been accurate for me.
Once you select a psychic and make an appointment to meet, by phone or in person, it's good to check how much they charge. Some work by the hour or half hour and others by the minute. If you are going to meet someone in person they might ask you to bring photographs of people you have questions about, or perhaps an object that belongs to them. This helps the psychic tune into the person.
The best way to begin an appointment with a psychic is to listen to what they say before asking questions. Usually a psychic wants to read you before you give any information and that's the most fun and a good way for you to judge your comfort level. This is the time to be cognizant of how many and what questions they are asking you. After they tell you what they see, then they give you a chance to ask questions. When you ask make it economic, giving as little information as you can. When you say a name and the psychic begins to tell you accurate things about the person, even before addressing your questions, you can have confidence in what's coming. When I ask Kallista for example, what would it be like to work with X, and the first thing she says is "Oh, what a gifted wordsmith" or "Expensive! And full of his own ego," then I know she got the person. Whatever follows will have credibility.
While I highly advise against unraveling the details of your scenario, when a psychic gets it right, it helps if you confirm it. Remember, they are pulling information out of the ether, so a confirmation is appropriate when they hit on something accurately.
What I like about Kallista is that she doesn't waste time being redundant and talking around something, because of course, the meter is running. It's specific, yet listening carefully is very important. We can hear the same information differently.
How accurate can a psychic be? Once Kallista interrupted herself to say buy a money belt before you take off to Europe. Why, I asked? Will I be robbed? No, she said, but I see you losing your money. With no time to buy a belt before leaving, I made up my mind to buy one when I reached the airport in Paris. I got to Paris, changed some money and got on a bus (where I fell asleep) and after that, a taxi. When it came time to pay the taxi, I realized all the money that had been changed was gone!
There was a time when someone wanted to invest in a film project of mine. On the phone, she sounded like my next best friend. I used the pendulum and it indicated not to do business with her. It was hard to believe so I checked with Kallista. I approached it like an experiment: My intuition was to work with this woman. My pendulum gave me a negative reading. What would Kallista say? She said definitely do not do business with her; she is flaky and a bully. When I asked why the woman who introduced me to her was doing business with her, she said, "She just wants to make a deal. She is blind and hungry."
The potential investor flew me to LA to meet her. I wanted to find out for myself. The woman was everything the psychic and pendulum said, not what I thought. She was flaky and a bully. When the introducer was in a lawsuit with her six months later, I asked why did she go into business with her. She said, "I wanted to make a deal. I was blind and hungry."
Do I always listen to the psychic? No. We have free will. We have desires, our own reasons. So there are times I choose to do the opposite of what I am advised. Most of those times I suffer.
It was people asking me about psychics that prompted me to write this article, which prompted me to do an experiment. I asked the same question to four psychics on the same day. Two people said the same thing, though in different ways and from different perspectives, the other two said the opposite and both of them in ways that opposed each other. A month later I learned that the two who answered the same were correct and the other two were not.
What do I think is the most self-empowering way to work with a psychic? I like to determine the answers myself before I ask. After all, the scientist Targ says a good psychic is not reading your mind so I am not afraid I can influence the psychic. I go out of my way to be neutral in presenting my issue. If I get an answer that is opposite of my own, I am in a bit of a dilemma. Yet I know from my experience, my hunch is not always right. Kallista believes this is our emotions getting in the way. If the answer I get is the same as my own, or resonates deeply within me, my anxiety is immediately gone and I move forward with conviction. Experience is one's greatest guide toward psychic user success.
What the medium uses to work with is of no concern to me. Whether it's tarot cards, shells, playing cards, nothing, I don't know or care. I like that you can talk to someone when it's convenient for you. Often good psychics will speak to you for however short or long is necessary, charging by the minute.
I've learned Hollywood studio heads use psychics, Wall Street traders do, celebrities and so too, corporate CEOs. So why not me? We all need an objective viewpoint at times.
Kallista is clairvoyant, clairaudient, and clairsentient, and has been so all her life. [email protected]

Stalker0's Obsidian Skill Challenge System (Update: Version 1.1) Now with PDF!!
Stalker0's Obsidian Skill Challenge System
UPDATE!! The system has now moved to Version 1.1. The changes are small, here you go.
Changes from Version 1.0
1) Critical Success now gives 2 successes, instead of providing rerolls.
2) Table 2's victory and partial victory numbers have been changed for a 2 person challenge.
UPDATE!! There is now a beautiful pdf version of the system, which is far easier to read than the forum. So save your eyes and take a look! Its at the bottom of this post
Welcome to the latest in my attempts at a new Skill Challenge System for 4th edition! Unlike my previous skill challenge ideas, this is a complete revamp from the standard system. So, the first question is who should consider using this system?
Consider using the Obsidian System if you believe in the following:
1) Players should always be included in skill challenges, but shouldn't always get to use their best skills. A social character should shine in social encounters, and an athletic character should shine in athletic encounters.
2) Players shouldn't feel that their participation is actually hurting the party's chances of succeeding at a challenge. Players should always feel that they are helping the challenge, even if it's to a smaller degree than a character with better skills.
3) A skill challenge should work as a decent encounter, but be easily scalable to a much longer and epic scale.
4) Players should spend more time describing their actions, and less time trying to find ways to use their best skills.
5) The skill challenge math should be solid enough to allow DM tweaking without causing problems.
6) The standard skill challenge system for whatever reason just isn't for you.
If you're still reading, here's the deal. I will post the basic system in the first post. I will then post more advanced options for those who would like to use them in the second post. And then in the third post I will go into a detailed discussion of how and why the system works like it does. So basically, if you're not into the nitty gritty just read the first or second post. The deeper you go, the more technical it becomes.
First of all, I need to give a special shout-out to Fredrick Svanberg. He was the first one to create the idea of doing skill challenges in rounds. From that idea, I have created a system I hope many can enjoy.
The Basic Skill Challenge
3 Segments: Every skill challenge consists of three segments. Each segment can last as long as the DM desires. For many challenges, a segment will be a single round. In others, it could be an encounter or several hours of work. During each segment:
1) Each player describes an action that his character is doing, whether it's tumbling past a guard or talking with a duke. Players are free to describe actions that directly contribute to a skill challenge, or that simply help their fellow party members succeed. Both actions are considered equally important for the challenge.
2) The DM and the player work together to decide the right skill check for the action. In general, a player should be using skills that fit the challenge type (see Types of Challenges below) though the DM is the final judge whether a certain skill can be used.
3) If the player gives a particularly good description or role-plays well, the DM can give him a +2 to the skill check.
4) All players roll their skill checks versus the DC of the challenge. The DM counts up all of the successes that are made.
5) Steps 1-3 are repeated for the second and third segments of the challenge. The DM totals up all of the successes made, and then determines whether the party failed, obtained victory, or only obtained partial victory. See the "Winning and Losing" section below or more information.
DM NOTE: "DON'T CHANGE THE NUMBER OF SEGMENTS". Increasing or decreasing the number of segments will have a very large impact on the system, and is not recommended. If you wish to have a longer skill challenge, take a look at "larger skill challenges" listed in the advanced options.
Player Options: While playing in a skill challenge, players can use the following:
Bold Recovery: A player may spend an action point to reroll a skill check they have made, before they might know if the roll was a success or failure. The player must take the result of the reroll. If the skill challenge is particularly long, the DM may grant the players the option to use additional action points.
Critical Success: A natural 20 on a skill check is an automatic success. In addition, the player receives one additional success.
Primary Skill: For most challenges, the DM assigns one or two skills as the center point of the challenge. Players using that skill receive a +2 to their skill checks. Example: In a negotiation with a Duke, diplomacy would be the primary skill. In a scene where the party sneaks into an orc camp, stealth would be the primary skill. If the players were researching a secret from ancient arcane texts, arcana would be the primary.
DM NOTE: Primary skills are designed to encourage players to use the "the right skill at the right time". Further it allows players with weaker skills a chance to have a decent skill check to make. However, not all skill challenges must have primary skills. If you do use a primary skill, make it well known to your players.
STOP!!! If you're a player, that's really ALL you need to know to use this system, really. Feel free to keep reading, but note that most of the further information is about setting up a skill challenge.
Determining Skills Allowed and Setting Difficulty
What skills to allow?: One major difference between the standard 4e skill challenge system and the Obsidian System is that in the standard system, all players are assumed to use their best skills in the majority of skill challenges.
This is not the assumption in Obsidian. If players are in a social type challenge, they are expected to use social skills for example, even if they aren't the best at it. This gives players that are good at certain skills a chance to shine and also lets each player roleplay their character at their best and worst moments. In general, use the Challenge Type (see below) to determine what skills to allow players to use. However, in some cases a player may make a very good case to use a different skill. As the DM, feel free to allow new skills, especially for creative, innovative uses.
As a good rule of thumb, only allow a player to use a nonstandard skill once per skill challenge and only if the player is creative with the skill.
Example: During a chase scene (a physical challenge) the rogue asks the DM if he can use bluff (a social, not a physical skill) to psych out the guards and escape. He gives a really good description of what he wants to do. The DM allows it, but for the rest of the challenge encourages the rogue to use physical skills (like acrobatics).
DM NOTE: "Why Intimidate is not a bad skill!" There are some skills that DMs have trouble relegating in their skill challenges. For example, if the party is in social challenge with a noble, the DM might think that intimidate is just going to anger the noble and so shouldn't be used for the challenge. Whenever possible, try to think broadly when considering skills. For example, while a player directly intimidating the noble might not work, intimidate may work in a more subtle way. For example, the noble raises his voice and yells at the party, trying to get an advantage. However, when he looks over at the intimidating demeanor of a PC, he realizes such tactics won't work, and he backs down (the player just rolled a success using intimidate). As a DM, if a player is trying to use a social skill for a social challenge, work with him to create a skill use that fits your story and lets the player use his skill.
Setting Difficulty: A standard skill challenge's level is the same as the party's. Table 1 below gives the DC's for the skill challenge at each level. If a DM wishes to change the difficulty, a +1/-1 to DC changes the difficulty of the challenge by about +/- 10%.
Table 1. Difficulty Class at Each Level
Level DC 1 18 2 19 3 19 4 20 5 20 6 21 7 21 8 23 9 23 10 24 11 24 12 24 13 24 14 26 15 26 16 27 17 27 18 28 19 28 20 29 21 30 22 31 23 31 24 32 25 32 26 33 27 33 28 34 29 34 30 35
Winning and Losing
Once the DM has totaled up all of the successes for a challenge, he compares the total number to Table 2 given below. The table shows how many success rolls the party needs for partial or total victory. If they get fewer than that, they suffer a failure. The number is based on the number of players that are in the challenge.
Table 2. Successes needed for Victory
Players Victory P. Victory Failure 2 4+ 3 Less than 3 3 6+ 4-5 Less than 4 4 7+ 5-6 Less than 5 5 8+ 6-7 Less than 6 6 10+ 8-9 Less than 8 7 12+ 10-11 Less than 10
Partial Victory "Its not over yet": The party has accomplished most of the goal, but there's still more to be done, or there are loose ends to tie up.
Victory "A job well done": The party has completed all of the goals of the challenge, and is ready for a new adventure.
Types of Challenges
Every Skill Challenge has a type chosen by the DM. The type determines what kinds of skills are generally appropriate to the challenge, as well as the consequences of success and failure. There are three possible kinds of challenges:
DM NOTE: The challenge types are designed to be a quick way for players to know what skills to use, and a guide for you to design the results of success and failures. However, never feel stifled by the challenge types; use them to your own benefit.
A Mental challenge lets the players using their minds and their senses to gain clues and to find their way around the world. DMs can use Mental Challenges to describe large scales of scenery and give players a chance to work out clues to obtain victory.
Example: Finding your way through an old forest, determining the secret entrance to the underground city, solving the puzzle of El-Karad, or finding the last ingredient for a ritual in an old library are examples of a Mental Challenge.
Standard skills for a mental challenge include:
Arcana (Int)
Dungeoneering (Wis)
Heal (Wis)*
History (Int)
Insight (Wis)
Nature (Wis)
Perception (Wis)
Religion (Int)
Streetwise (Cha)^
*When dealing with anatomy or medical insights.
^For navigating urban terrain or gaining information on the street.
Failure: Failing a mental challenge often means you arrive at a different location than the one you had intended, or that you obtain a piece of information…only to later find out it is incorrect.
Partial Victory: You gain some of the information you need, but need more. However, you know where to go to get more information. You successfully navigate the terrain, but are greatly delayed, or miss out on a special place as you make your way.
Victory: You gain the information you need and solve the puzzle. You navigate the terrain quickly and easily, and find a special location along the way.
A physical challenge often is the most versatile of challenges. It can include subtle stealth or outrageous stunts. Players are encouraged to describe their actions in detail.
Example: Scaling a great cliff, sneaking past a group of guards, and crossing a raging river are good physical challenges.
Standard skills for a Physical Challenge include:
Acrobatics (Dex)
Athletics (Str)
Endurance (Con)
Heal (Wis)
Stealth (Dex)
Thievery (Dex)
Social (cha)*
Knowledge (int or wis)^
*Social skills can sometimes be useful in physical challenges against other creatures. Using bluff to throw off a group of guards as you make your escape is a good example.
^Knowledge skills can sometimes be useful in physical challenges that involve certain environments. Using nature in a chase scene that involves the jungle is one example.
Failure: Failing a physical challenge usually involves physical fatigue and possibly great peril. Examples include every party member losing two healing surges. Or each person in the party loses ¼ of their hit points, and then is forced into a combat.
Partial Victory: The party has overcome the obstacle but may have created new obstacles in the process. For example, the party has to climb a rock wall in a way that leads to other hazardous terrain. Or the party completes the task but suffers fatigue in the form of losing 2 healing surges each.
Victory: The party overcomes the obstacle, fresh, strong and ready for the next one.
A social challenge generally involves talking and a large amount of roleplaying. Players are encouraged to use eloquent words, bold statements, and outright lies to win the day.
Example: A negotiation with the Duke, talking your way past the guards, and convincing an old hero to take up the cause once again are examples of social challenges.
Standard Skills for a social challenge include:
Bluff (cha)
Insight (wis)
Intimidate (cha)
Streetwise (cha)
Knowledges * (int or wis)
*In some cases, some knowledge skills can be useful if they are particularly relevant to the challenge. Example: Using religion in a social challenge that involves a priest.
Failure: Failing a social challenge normally means the party does not get their desired help, and often the other group's opinion of the party has dropped. If the opposing group was already hostile, it may result in combat.
Partial Victory: Generally the party gets what they want, but the other group wants something too. Good examples are a rare treasure, some key information, or a favor. This can often led to another quest.
Victory: The party gets what they want. In many cases the other side will feel greater respect (or awe) for the party.
Same Scene, Different Skill Type.
One DMs social challenge is another ones physical challenge. Most environments could have any of the three challenges. The question you have to ask yourself is, "what is the main challenge my party is trying to overcome?"
Example: The party is traveling through a forest. What challenge type would that be. The answer is….it depends!!
Scenario 1: The Forest of Wonders (Mental)
The party is traveling through an ancient forest. The forest moves and often those that enter it are lost forever. The party must use their woodsman skills and their knowledges to figure out the clues of the forest, and ultimately the way out.
Scenario 2: The Treacherous Forest (Physical)
The party is traveling through a forest that is more like a jungle. The heat is intense, and the humidity large. Disease is rampant, and the trees are so thick at times the party must cut their way through. The party must endure the harsh conditions of the woods in order to make it to the other side.
Scenario 3: The Druids of the Forest (Social)
The party is in a mysterious wood and can't find the way out. They find a group of druids that may have the answer. But the druids will need convincing, and the wrong word could spell doom for the party.
Awarding XP
For a basic skill challenge, give the party the same XP as you would if you were using a complexity 5 skill challenge in the standard system.
That's it!
So that is everything you need to know to run the Obsidian Skill Challenge System. However, should you desire some more advanced options, including larger skill challenges and skill challenges during combat, check out the next post!

Russell Crowe's Fists Will Take The Rest Of The Year Off
Russell Crowe has announced he won't be leaving his home in Australia for the rest of 2010– that means no movies, no promotion and definitely no chewing out journalists or strangling producers!
The actor wants to take some time off to spend with his wife and two young sons, instead of spending too much time filming far away.
"I don't want to get on a
plane again this year," the tempermental star said. "I want again to take a step back and put a
normal rhythm back into the kids' lives."
Ever the egoist, he made sure to mention that the reason he can do such a thing, is because, well, he's just SO in demand.
"I know what it is that turns me on in my job and I know if…
something comes up that I want to do then I'm usually allowed to do it," he said.
"I do the things that drive me from a pure place."
Crowe made an appearance at a press conference in Sydney on Tuesday to announce he'll be joining the cast of Ben Hur as the narrator. But it's safe to say, that won't be underway for a while.
So who's ready for a brawl-free 2010?!

Ratings for Dr. Peter J. Babick
Pain free, fast, responsive and caring. An altogether outstanding experience.
I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Dr. Babick. He took away my pain and treated me kindly and gently. Thank you Dr. Babick!
Terrible dentist did unnecessary root canals on me knowing I have a few anxiety issues
I went to see Dr Babick after another dentist had damaged some of my teeth and I was in terrible pain. Dr Babick was wonderful he did three root canals and took my pain away. He is a wonderful doctor and he is now my doctor for life.
Excellent experience.Professional and knowledable staff.Fantastic office.Dr.Babick explained everything in terms anyone could understand.
Dr. Babick is a CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL. His office was immaculate and the staff was fantastic. From my initial discussion with Dr. Babick over the phone to the correspondence I received AFTER the procedure, I could not ask for more. Very courteous doctor who did not keep me waiting like others have in the past. With respect to the procedure itself, I did not feel a thing and it was over rather quickly. You can tell that he is an expert and I would definitely recommend Dr. Babick.
I first met Dr. Babick when I was visiting family in NYC and had a dental emergency. He and his staff were most kind and accommodating. Dr. Babick resolved my problem and I left his office pain free. I recently moved to the city and when another dental problem arose, I immediately thought of Dr. Babick. He remembered my history down to the fact that I was a very apprehensive patient. Again I received kind professional care, relieving my discomfort as well as my nervousness. I would highly recommend Dr. Babick, without reservation, as I find him to be a skilled, caring, professional.
Dr Babick is truly one of the best healthcare professionals I've ever dealt with. He takes great care in his work, and is clearly committed to his patients. He went out of his way to help me through an excruciating episode with an abscess and severe infection when I was flying back east from a trip. I needed an emergency intervention, and Dr Babick was referred to me by another well-regarded endodentist. Even though I wasn't yet a patient of his, he generously advised me by phone, and then went out of his way to treat my very urgent condition in his off-hours. He was good at communicating the cause of the problem and helping me to understand my options. He then quickly and efficiently relieved the pain and put me on the path to recovery. I whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone who needs a topnotch endodentist. After 2 previous botched treatments on this tooth, I've learned the painful and expensive way that I will only use a top specialist on my teeth from now on!

To combat this lack of financial savvy, a former optical exec held an event at the Sofitel in Manhattan, bringing together students from SUNY Optometry to unveil his new networking idea. Carlos Navaro has been working in optical for 13 years, moving from an executive position at Johnson & Johnson/Vistakon to global vice president at Bausch + Lomb, where he oversaw both lens care and consumer health. "Being strong business people is not taught in OD school," Navaro told VM. "I created FastOD specifically for optometry to appeal to doctors in their early careers. I'm not bringing strategies or concepts but tangible insights that these young doctors can put into practice tomorrow." For its first meeting FastOD jumped right in, gathering young ODs-in-training via a page on Meetup.com. The night began with a networking cocktail hour, after which Navaro introduced the organization and then asked his speakers Gary Gerber and Justin Bazan to share their expertise. Dr. Brian Levy (L) with Carlos Navaro (R). "I feel that FastOD's approach to providing concise, useful business tips and advice to optometrists is complementary to the comprehensive consulting services that The Power Practice provides to its clients," Gary Gerber, OD, president and founder of the Power Practice, told Vision Monday. For FastOD, Gerber will contribute articles and help lead live events for on and off the web."Having built a successful practice and having advised thousands of practices and leading manufacturers, my team of consultants and I at The Power Practice possess insights that ODs in the earlier stages of their careers can benefit from. I enjoy sharing my experiences with doctors to help them become more successful and FastOD provides another channel for me to do this," he added. For Bazan, whose savvy in social media has been featured at VM's Leadership Summit as well as through the Power Practice, he sees his new role with FastOD more simply: "I will help with keep their content current and fresh in both ideas and techniques," he told VM. As for the future of the new organization, Bazan said he hopes it will show young ODs that there are helpful organizations out there that understand their situation. "It will give them a place to associate with others who are just like them," he said. Justin Bazan, OD, (center) with Antonio Chirumbolo (l) and Matthew Enos (r), students from SUNY Optometry.According to Navaro, this meeting is just the beginning. Chapters in Philadelphia and San Francisco will have their first meeting by year end while first quarter 2012 will see new chapters open in Baltimore/D.C., Jacksonville, Fla. and Boston. Aided by a frequently updated website, FastOD.com will complement the in-person meet-ups—which he expects will meet quarterly—with "featured presentations," webinars and articles from contributors including Gerber, Bazan and Jennifer Stewart Ellison, OD. Content will be posted regularly and fall into four categories: marketing and social media, profit and revenue growth, management and professional development and "wild card"—which Navaro explained will be member requested and topical. All contents on the website are free through January, at which time a "freemium" model will be implemented. Some of the site's features will still be available to the public then, but complete access will cost members $299 for six months or $499 for the year. Students registered to the site will still have complete access at no cost, Navaro added. FastOD will also be overseen by an advisory board consisting of Brian Levy, OD, Aaron Price and Adriano Allegrini. firstname.lastname@example.com

Carpet Cleaner & Pet Stain Remover
1 / 7
Atlanta, GA
Carpet stains not coming out? Are pets making a mess of your carpet? Whether it be stains or odors in your carpet, Genesis 950 is the perfect cleaner to restore your carpets. Make them look and smell professionally cleaned for a fraction of what it costs to hire a professional. Genesis 950 is a surfactant based cleaner. It comes in concentrate form and works when mixed with water to actually break the bonds of stains and lift them from the surface. Not only does it clean, it also deodorizes. Many cleaners can mask a smell for a few days, but Genesis 950 actually eliminates odors. If you have ever had an issue with pet smells lingering, this is the cleaner you have been waiting for. Eliminate those smells once and for all. Don't just hide them. One of the reasons Genesis 950 is so effective in removing odors is because it also kills bacteria and germs. This is key in eliminating odors in carpets caused by pets. By killing the bacteria, you are also preventing the growth of mold. It does this all with no harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia, vinegar or alcohol, so there is no need to worry about damaging your carpeting. If you are a pet owner, ammonia and vinegar should never be used in cleaning. Both products contain some of the same elements found in pet urine, which actually atracts them to continue to urinate in the spot where you used it.Genesis 950 can be used as either a spot cleaner or in any type of steam cleaning machine. It is safe and easy to use.For spot cleaning:Mix 1 Part Genesis 950 with 7 parts water. For best results use in a spray bottle. Spray stained area with mixture. Allow mixture to soak into the stain. As the stain absorbs the mixture, the surfactants will break the bonds of the stain causing it to lift from the surface it has adhered to. Rinse area clean with straight water. If stain is persistent or has been set in, you can increase the amount of Genesis 950 in the mixture, or repeat the process and continue until the stain has been lifted.For steam cleaning:In a machine where there are separate compartments for solution and water, do not dilute the Genesis 950. These machines are designed to mix the solution and the water based on your cleaning setting. In machines where the water and solution are mixed, combine the two based on the size of the tank. We do provide measuring ratios for these type of machines with the product. Slowly steam clean the carpeting. As the Genesis 950 and water are released into the carpeting, it will get deep down into the carpet to loosen all the dirt, grime and stains, deodorize the area and kill any germs and bacteria deep down in the carpet. After you have first cleaned the carpet with the mixture of Genesis 950 and water, repeat the cleaning process using only straight water. This will flush out and extract everything that has been loosened. You may have to repeat this process depending on how dirty the returned water is. The dirtier the returned water, the harder Genesis 950 is working.Genesis 950 breaks down the toughest stains. Food, juice, wine, ink, makeup, grease, oil, glue, pet stains and odors are no match for Genesis 950. It's not just for carpet either. Lift stains from concrete, stone, tile, linoleum, stainless steel, chrome, finished wood, upholstery and fabric. The uses are endless.Get more information on Genesis 950 at Amerikal's online store or by calling directly. You can also find reviews on Genesis 950 at The Review Wire, Pretty Opinionated and Infomercial "Junkie" Reviews.

Picture: Prince Michael Jackson, Paris Jackson and Prince Michael Jackson II aka 'Blanket' are seen leaving acting classes in Hollywood Los Angeles, California - 17.05.11
The executors of Michael Jackson's estate have fired off an angry letter to the organisers of his upcoming tribute concert after they signed up Kiss to perform, because Gene Simmons suggested the late legend was a paedophile in an interview last year (10).
Katherine Jackson has organised the Michael Forever: The Tribute Concert in Cardiff, Wales to take place on 08 October (11) in memory of her late son, with Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Leona Lewis and Smokey Robinson among the acts on the bill.
Kiss were added to the line-up on Monday (15Aug11) in a move which angered some fans because the band's outlandish bassist Simmons talked about the claims of child molestation which followed the singer throughout his later years.
He told Classic Rock Magazine, "No matter what my fond memories and fond images of Michael were, with one allegation of paedophilia after another and another and another...Oh dear."
Jackson's estate lawyer Howard Weitzman is furious organisers behind the event have included the rocker on the bill, and has sent a letter demanding more information on the concert.
Weitzman writes, "We are aware that Michael Forever has the support of some members of the Jackson family, including Joseph Jackson, Katherine Jackson, La Toya, Marlon, Jackie and Tito Jackson and we have read that the event is opposed by Jermaine and Randy Jackson.
"We were especially disappointed today with the announcement that the band Kiss and guitarist Gene Simmons were added as one of the acts to perform... As I'm sure you are aware, Mr Simmons has made numerous disparaging public comments about Michael Jackson after his passing."
Jackson was famously acquitted of child molestation charges in 2005 after a highly-publicised five-month trial.
Since no one will ever see the epic show, the next best thing is this...

As you all know, this year marks another historical year in the field of sports. Yes, the biggest sporting event in the world, the Olympics, will happen this year in no other than London. The first time that I was really into Olympics was the year 1996 when it was held in Atlanta. Back then, I was rooting for the badminton duo, Cheah Soon Kit and Yap Kim Hock, since I was a huge badminton fan. It was such a pity that they did not manage to win in the finals but I guess getting the silver medals for Malaysia for the first time in history was pretty impressive too. If you're a big Olympics fan, or if you have never been to London, here is a good chance to score a free trip there and experience life in the middle of the most exciting event of the year.
Jamie Oilver is a fan of London too
The people at Samsung are searching throughout the world for curious, imaginative and motivated people to invite to London for a once in a lifetime trip to experience the London 2012 Olympic Games. If chosen, the Samsung Global Blogger will be based in the capital during the biggest sporting event of the year. While there, he or she will have the chance to search out the best London has to offer during the Games and share it with the world via video, photos and written entries on specially created blogs. To me, it sounds like the perfect way to get to know a city.
The first step to becoming a Samsung Global Blogger is to submit a 30-second video in English of you telling Samsung why you would be great at hunting out the best stories London has to tell during The Olympics. Some useful tips to look out for:
- Confidence and energy in front of the camera
- A passion for your subject matter
- Imagination and originality
- A good sense of humour
- A social butterfly – do you use Twitter? Or talk to the world on your own blog?
- The ability to tell a story well through video and the written word
After the submission, the celebrity judges will choose a handful of finalists, who will then be given a second challenge of creating a video report looking at how their hometown is connecting with the Olympics.
Do you have what it takes? Enter the competition here: samsungglobalblogger.my.msn.com/default.aspx
Please note that this competition is only open to people from the following countries: UK, France, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, Belgium, Brazil, China, Germany, the Netherlands, Russia, Spain and Thailand. The deadline for submission is before midnight GMT on April 29th.

Capital Stage Begins New Year With IN THE NEXT ROOM 1/25-2/26
Capital Stage Company will kick-off 2012 with the Sacramento premiere of Sarah Ruhl's acclaimed Broadway comedy In the Next Room or the vibrator play, running from January 25 - February 26.
Both a 2010 Pulitzer Prize finalist and a 2010 Tony Nominee for Best Play, this laugh-out-loud, provocative and touching play is based on the bizarre historical fact that in the 1880s, at the dawn of the age of electricity, doctors used vibrators to treat 'hysteria' in women and some men. The idea for the play, says Ruhl, came from reading Rachel Maines' book "The Technology of Orgasm," in which Maines points out that, "from the time of Hippocrates until the 1920s, massaging "hysterical" female patients to orgasm was a staple of medical practice among Western physicians." The vibrator, states Maines, "first emerged as an electromechanical medical instrument in direct response to demand from physicians who, far from enjoying the implementation of pelvic massage, sought every opportunity to substitute the services of midwives and, later, the efficiency of mechanical devices."
Performances for In the Next Room or the vibrator play will begin with three previews on Wednesday, January 25 at 7pm and Thursday & Friday January 26 & 27 at 8pm. The production will open on Saturday, January 28 at 8pm. Performances continue through February 26, 2012. Showtimes will be Wednesdays at 7pm, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, and Sundays at 2pm.
There will be a special Valentine's Day performance on Tuesday, February 14 at 8pm. General tickets range from $20-$32.

It's the 1880's and for the wife of eminent scientist and inventor Dr. Givings, the vagaries of the medical field have never held much allure. Until now. Nominated for both the Tony Award and the Pulitzer Prize, In the Next Room was a resounding hit when it opened on Broadway in 2009 and solidified playwright Sarah Ruhl's reputation as one of America's most exciting contemporary writers. A sensitive study of the relationship between physical connection and emotional intimacy, In the Next Room or the vibrator play is an utterly beguiling play about love, longing, science and invention.
Sarah Ruhl
Sarah Ruhl, a Chicagoan-turned-New-Yorker, spent her childhood reading and telling stories but didn't turn to playwriting until midway through her college years at Brown University, where she completed BA and MFA degrees under the tutelage of Pulitzer-winning playwright Paula Vogel. She thought at first she would be a poet. In her writing, she is attracted to the irrationality of emotions: "I like plays that have revelations in the moment," she told The New Yorker, "where emotions transform almost inexplicably." Ruhl, who is a wife and mother in her mid-30s, is the author of, among others, The Passion Play Cycle, Eurydice, Dead Man's Cell Phone and The Clean House, which won the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize for best English-language play by a woman and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. In 2006, she received a MacArthur Foundation "genius grant" for her "vivid and adventurous theatrical works that poignantly juxtapose the mundane aspects of daily life with mythic themes of love and war."
Capital Stage co-founder Peter Mohrmann (Or,, Fiction, Dinner With Friends) will direct this Sacramento premiere production, which will feature a talented line-up of performers familiar to Sacramento audiences: Greg Alexander, Victoria Alvarez-Chacon, Kirk Blackinton, Shannon Mahoney, Katie Rubin, Michael Stevenson, and Elana Wright. The design team includes Stephen C. Jones (set), Gail Russell (costumes), Les Solomon (lighting) and Jonathan Williams (sound).

Pasco commissioners should resist the temptation to start chipping away at impact fees as their own economic stimulus plan. Tuesday, Commissioner Ted Schrader suggested waiving impact fees for fire, parks and library for the next year, dropping the county's cumulative impact fees by $1,400 per single-family home. The more expensive fees for transportation, education and utilities would remain.
Schrader offered a legitimate point worthy of public debate. If the county's limited resources prohibit hiring personnel to staff new libraries and fire stations, why collect the impact fees if new capital construction isn't in the county's short-term future?
It's a fair question, but one that merits a thoughtful response that should include an inventory of the county's existing public safety, parks and recreation facilities in relation to past growth and future projections.
It also raises other questions about fairness. How do you waive the fees now after assessing them on every other newly built home for eight years? And, why waive the parks fee when the commission plans to use impact fees to help build a tournament-caliber softball complex plus additional land for field space for local residents?
While the commission ponders those questions, it should also wonder about the motivation. Knocking down impact fees provides a tidy answer to politically influential home builders seeking a break to help jump-start sales, but is an inconsequential strategy.
For instance, seven months ago, Hernando County halved its impact fees to roughly $4,500 per single-family home, the rate assessed in 2001. Through the first six months of this year, it issued just 107 permits for new homes, according to the U.S. Census Bureau data. Pasco, by comparison, now charges impact fees more than four times higher than Hernando and still issued 581 permits for new homes in the first six months of the year, or more than five times the building activity in Hernando.
Impact fees are one-time charges on new construction to help pay for the demand on services. The fees became popular in the late 1980s as a way to meet state growth management requirements. Pasco adopted road fees 24 years ago, but didn't fully embrace the fees for schools, parks, libraries and public safety until after 2000.
Lowering impact fees doesn't address the real issues that crippled the home building industry. Reckless lending practices, fraud and a real estate bubble built on speculation instead of true demand from growth triggered the industry's three-year free fall. Now, a market saturated with reduced-price foreclosure homes and short sales will not require new construction until a greater share of the existing inventory is liquidated.
Reducing impact fees is just a misguided, feel-good ploy. The commission would be better served to continue its quest to diversify the job market instead of trying to prop up a single segment of the local economy.

The issue in Mt. Hawley Ins. Co. v. Felman Production started with a technology glitch that resulted in privileged materials being omitted from the indexes used for privilege review.
"Non-indexed documents pose dangers, but they are dangers you can minimize," says John Tredennick, CEO of Catalyst Repository Systems. He recommends the following steps:
- After data is loaded, get exception reports that show non-indexed data by file type, and carefully look at the counts.
- Sample the non-indexed data by file type. Does any of the data need optical-character recognition? "Text that is visible to the human eye is sometimes invisible to the computer," Tredennick adds. "We provide a utility to check the documents for which we could not extract text for indexing. You can see if it may be password-protected or corrupt."
- When you run searches, be sure to sample the non-hits as well as the hits.

Aided by strong tea party support, Texas Gov. Rick Perry has surged in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, pushing former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney into second place and significantly diminishing the once rising star of Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
The Texas governor, who announced his candidacy three weeks ago, is now perceived by Republicans to be the best candidate to beat President Barack Obama. The findings come just before the first Republican debate for the Texas governor. The candidates will debate tonight at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California.
Among all Republicans and GOP-leaning independents, Perry edges ahead with 27 percent of the vote, followed by Romney with 22 percent, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin at 14 percent, Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, with 8 percent and Bachmann at 6 percent.

BOSTON -- Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz remains hospitalized with esophagitis, the club announced Tuesday night.
The condition is an inflammation that damages tissues of the esophagus, the muscular tube that delivers food from mouth to stomach.
"Clay Buchholz has esophagitis, which led to an erosion of the esophagus and an associated gastrointestinal bleed,'' the team said in a brief statement. "He has been evaluated and observed at Mass. General Hospital. Clay is doing well and is expected to make a full recovery."
Buchholz went on the disabled list Sunday, the day he was to make a start. Manager Bobby Valentine announced on Saturday that Buchholz had been stricken.
Buchholz had no health issues last Tuesday, when he made his last start. He is 8-2 with a 5.53 ERA.
His condition has been described as "stable'' by Valentine.
The Red Sox have not said whether his DL stay will last beyond the minimum 15 days, though that is possible and seems even likely at this point.
Esophagitis often causes difficulty swallowing and chest pain. Causes of esophagitis include stomach acids backing up into the esophagus, infection, oral medications and allergies.

Normally when one sees that much crimson near the scenic San Gabriel mountains, it's a bad thing.
It was for Texas on Thursday at the Rose Bowl, where the University of Alabama football team won its 13th national championship with a 37-21 victory. But give the Longhorns a lot of credit.
Texas had a lot of speed across the board, the coaches had the team well-prepared and even after Colt McCoy, the winningest quarterback in NCAA history was knocked out of the game with a pinched nerve, the Longhorns still didn't give up after Alabama scored 24 unanswered points.
It wasn't until sophomore running back Mark Ingram powered his way into the end zone for his second touchdown with 2:01 remaining, and held his arms up in celebration, that the Crimson Tide knew the championship was finally secure. It also completed the orange-stomp season, which began with Virginia Tech in Atlanta, included narrow wins against Tennessee and Auburn before beating Florida and Texas in the postseason.
Player of the game: Ingram was limited by a foot injury and then started cramping up, but still managed to gain 116 yards on 22 carries, and two catches for 12 yards, with two touchdowns.
Play of the game: Sophomore defense end Marcell Dareus' interception of a shovel pass was returned 28 yards for a touchdown with three seconds remaining in the first half and proved to be the game-winning points. Incidentally, senior defensive end Brandon Deaderick was the player to make the hit after D.J. Monroe initially bobbled the ball.
Hit of the game: Senior "Jack" linebacker Eryk Anders played a terrific game, leading the Tide with seven tackles, two for a loss, and his sack of freshman quarterback Garrett Gilbert forced a fumble that Alabama recovered to secure the victory.
Block of the game: On freshman running back Trent Richardson's 49-yard touchdown run, senior guard Mike Johnson showed why he's an All-American by driving junior defensive end Sam Acho to the ground, thus providing the gaping hole on the left side.
Statistic of the game: After McCoy lead the Texas offense to 26 yards on five plays, when he was hurt and left the game 16 of the next 22 Texas plays resulted in one yard or fewer and the Longhorns gained just 60 yards the rest of the first half. Gilbert had more pass attempts intercepted (two) than completed (1-for-10), with the lone catch resulting in a 4-yard loss on a screen.
Did you notice? The Heisman curse? Yeah, neither did anyone else.
Here are 10 other things you may not have noticed in the game:
1. The goal-line stand: Overlooked by many, but played a huge role in the outcome. Texas had first-and-goal from the 2 and tested both sides of the line before trying to unsuccessfully throw. Both runs were pretty much gang-tackles, but senior end Lorenzo Washington made the initial stop on the run right and then had the pressure to force Gilbert to throw the ball away on third down.
2. The running game: The 205 rushing yards were the most Texas gave up all year, and Ingram and Richardson were the two running backs to have 100-yard games. Coaches were being careful with Ingram as the only possession he touched the ball more than three times was the first touchdown drive when he had 29 of the 57 total yards on five carries. Alabama had a lot of early success running Ingram to the left and gained roughly 200 yards going in that direction. Outside of his 49-yard touchdown, Richardson's longest run was his 17-yard carry around the left end late in the game. Alabama ran two plays out of wildcat (neither by Ingram, which was a clear tip-off something wasn't right) for 14 yards and two pistol runs for 8 yards. On the play Richardson was hit in the backfield by defensive tackle Lamarr Houston, cameras caught the ball knocked loose but actually held in place by Houston until Richardson could re-grab it.
3. Greg McElroy's injury: Although the junior quarterback did an admirable job of hiding the injury to his ribs, there were some signs that something was amiss. For example, after he took his first hard hit the next snap he got antsy and forced an incomplete pass to sophomore Marquis Maze before the play had developed. There were other times his body language was just a little off, which can be indicative of that injury, especially after taking hits. He only attempted 11 passes, completing six for 58 yards. He was 3-for-6 on third downs, of which one was long enough for a first down.
4. The third quarter: Statistically, it was Alabama's worst offensive quarter of the season, with 10 plays for three yards and no first downs. It had eight rushing plays for minus-6 yards (211 the rest of the game) and two completions for nine yards. To put that into perspective, out of the 52 quarters the Tide had previously played before Thursday it had failed to score in only eight. The worst output had been the third quarter against Tennessee, when Alabama had 14 yards (all on two pass completions) and no first downs. Meanwhile Texas ran 26 plays, scored a touchdown, had five first downs and more than doubled its first-half output with 116 yards. It was the only quarter the Longhorns had the ball more, 8:26 compared to 6:34.
5. Red-zone play: Alabama had four possessions in the red zone and recorded three touchdowns and a 26-yard field goal. One of Saban's more interesting calls was not to go for it on fourth-and-1 at the Texas 9 just before halftime when the Tide was averaging 5.3 yards per carry. However, it benefitted Alabama anyway with Dareus' interception. The goal-line stand was the Longhorns' only possession in the red zone.
6. The receivers: Of McElroy's six completions, only two were to wide receivers. True, they had trouble beating the press coverage, but it was more due to the circumstances of having a big lead an injured quarterback. Sophomore Julio Jones had the key block on Brown to spring Ingram's 18-yard run around the left end early on. His 23-yard reception off a play-action also set up Alabama's fist touchdown. Alabama tallied just 37 yards after the catch.
7. Pass coverage: There were more breakdowns than All-American receiver Jordan Shipley's 28-yard touchdown to bring Texas to within 24-21. For example, on the play junior linebacker Rolando McClain jumped up and nearly made the interception wide receiver Dan Buckner was wide open behind him. Also, Chykie Brown beat senior Marquis Johnson on one play and Gilbert simply couldn't hit him. The incompletion in the end zone was actually a drop, one of five for the Longhorns. When Texas' passing game got going in the second half it wasn't from targeting anyone in particular, although the Longhorns were trying to get Shipley on the safties in one-on-one coverage. Texas completed only one pass thrown junior Kareem Jackson's way, none on Marquis Johnson and Arenas had three including Shipley's 44-yard touchdown but also had two interceptions.
8. The sacks: After giving up 15 beforehand, the Tide yielded five. They were, in order:
- an 8-yard loss on a snuffed out screen when intended receiver Ingram was tackled;
- a 3-yard loss on a coverage sack;
- a 5-yard loss on a disguised blitz;
- a 7-yard loss when McElroy held the ball too long and Sergio Kindle was being blocked by senior tight end Colin Peek;
- McElroy ran a play-action bootleg right into Kindle and didn't throw the ball away before being dropped for a 10-yard loss.
9. Special teams: The good thing that hardly anyone noticed was that Alabama did very good job containing Texas' outstanding kick returners D.J. Monroe and Marquise Goodwin, who averaged 17.7 yards per return. Coming in, Monroe ranked No. 2 nationally with a 35.8-yard average and Goodwin averaged 22.1 yards.
Now for the not-so good:
- Texas baited Alabama on the fake punt and probably knew it was something Saban did or saw on film (Ole Miss?). The Longhorns didn't line up anyone wide while placing 10 players on the line and then flared out two from the interior to pick up the coverage.
- It appeared that coaches told Jones to run up and catch any short kick, but the distance was too far to do so on the ball Texas recovered.
- The kick that went off sophomore Brad Smelley appeared to be a sort of line-drive squib that the Longhorns recovered.
- Senior Leigh Tiffin missed a 52-yard field goal (but had the distance), and the final attempt of his career, an extra point.
10. Penalties: The Tide was flagged five times for 38 yards including a false start by James Carpenter, a personal foul by McClain (for giving an extra push to a player who was down), Dareus' unsportsmanlike conduct for throwing the ball after his touchdown, McClain jumping offsides on third-and-1, and sophomore safety Mark Barron for holding. Texas had eight penalties for 77 yards, and some were of the serious variety including a chop block and a leg whip. Alabama should have also drawn holding calls on both of Arenas' interceptions (but would have been obviously declined). Alabama's offensive line finished the year without having a holding call over the final 38 quarters.

Wedding Cupcakes
I got to decorate these cupcakes for my pastor's daughter's wedding. They are vanilla cupcakes with vanilla icing and red fondant roses. The cupcakes were for the kids and they had a tiered cake for the rest of the guests. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of how they were displayed because it was really cute: a stemmed plastic glass of milk with a cookie on top and then a cupcake:)

Welcome to JustAnswer.com
Can you please tell me more about this situation, so I can understand what you are trying to do?
I'm trying to file a criminal complaint on a police officer at the state and federal levels.
Thank you for your follow up.
Unfortunately, you cannot file a criminal complaint against a private person or police officer.
There is a different process.
Is this local, state or federal officer?
He is local.
Thank you.
The proper way to do this, is to file a complaint against the officer with the officer's police department.
The police department chief / internal affairs will investigate your complaint and will take proper action upon conclusion of the investigation.
Also, you can file a complaint against this officer with your local DA / State Attorney and it will be reviewed as well.
I plan to do that,but I was trying to do it at all three levels
What is the nature of your complaint?
What did this police officer do?
Would there be a link where I can print off needed forms?
My complaint is profiling without just cause.
There are no standard forms to print

Hysucat 6.8 RIB is offered at $74,620 USD for a base boat rigged with twin 70 HP Suzuki engines.
The brand new Hysucat 6.8 fast RIB offers the best features of a monohull and a catamaran combined yet made superior thanks to the innovative hydrofoil technology. The asymmetric catamaran is capable of delivering higher speed with less horsepower, a soft, comfortable, stable ride in waves or swells, and efficient, lessened fuel consumption.
At high speed, the boat rises out of the water and runs mainly on the center hull. The side hulls stabilize the boat, reducing the wetted area on the hull, which in turn makes the craft more efficient, faster and allows the boat to run with smaller engines than an equivalent-sized monohull. At planing speeds, a drop in resistance of up to 50 percent is possible, which equates to lower powering requirements. Lower power normally results in a 30 percent reduction in fuel consumption.
The effective hydrofoil system in the tunnel between both demi-hulls is the foundation of the Hysucat's patented technology. In short, in choppy seas the ride is extremely smooth, with the hydrofoils allowing the vessel to run on the crests. In long waves, the hydrofoils help disperse impact and create a smooth ride. The lifting and damping effect of the hydrofoils also result in low wake for eco-friendly operation. The foils do not impair handling or create directional-instability/broaching problems. Tight turns can be performed in waves without any form of instability.

Note: Specifications for the Hysucat 23 RIB are intended to allow a buyer to understand what equipment is included in the base price. Suppliers and vendors change models and sometimes products or equipment specified are not available. Hysucat reserves the right to make necessary substitutions and will work with each client to identify significant changes.
