As DC employers prepare to ring out the old year, unfortunately they must prepare to ring in a new year that will bring with it the last thing any employer needs: a new employment form to fill out for every employee.
On September 19, 2014, District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Gray signed the Wage Theft Prevention Amendment Act of 2014 (the "Act"). In addition to requiring a new notice to every employee, the Act amends several existing DC wage payment laws (the Accrued Sick and Safe Leave Act, the Living Wage Act, the Minimum Wage Revisions Act, and the Wage Payment and Wage Collection Law) by increasing penalties under existing laws and clarifying administrative procedures and legal standards for adjudicating wage disputes under those laws. The new law likely will take effect early next year, as explained below.
The New Notice Requirement
The new law requires employers to provide a written notice to current and future employees that contains:
- The name of the employer and any "doing business as" names used by the employer;
- The physical address of the employer's main office or principal place of business, as well as a mailing address, if different;
- The telephone number of the employer;
- The employee's rate of pay and the basis of that rate, including by the hour, shift, day, week, salary, piece, and/or commission;
- Any allowances claimed as part of the minimum wage, including tip, meal, or lodging allowances;
- Overtime rate of pay and exemptions from overtime pay;
- The living wage and exemptions from the living wage;
- The applicable prevailing wages; and
- The employee's regular payday designated by the employer.
Getting the contents right is necessary but not sufficient. The notice must be both in English and in an employee's primary language if it is other than English. Employers must provide the notice to current employees within 90 days of the Act's enactment, and to new employees when hired. An updated notice is required when any of theĀnotice items change (e.g., the employee receives a raise, or the employer's business address changes). The Act requires the mayor to provide employers with a sample template of the required notice within 60 days of the effective date of the Act, but it is unclear whether non-English sample notices also will be provided.
Records Requirement
The Act increases penalties for failing to maintain proper records of employee work hours and compensation. Employers must retain signed and dated copies of the newly required written notices as proof of the employee's acknowledgment of receipt of the notice. Failure to comply could result in a $500 penalty for each failure to maintain payroll records or to provide employees with an itemized wage statement or written notice.
The Act strengthens anti-retaliation protections for employees who report violations, initiate a proceeding, provide information, or testify under the Act. The new law also strengthens the anti-retaliation provisions of the Living Wage Act (which requires overtime compensation as well as a minimum wage). The new anti-retaliation provision permits an employee to sue an employer in court or in an administrative proceeding. Penalties include:
- Civil penalties from $1,000 to $10,000;
- Liquidated damages in an amount equal to the civil penalties;
- Front pay, lost compensation, costs, and reasonable attorney fees;
- Reinstatement of the employee; and
- Other forms of equitable relief.
New Penalties
Employers will be subject to a number of new penalties for violations under the Act. They include:
- Liquidated damages equal to treble the amount of unpaid wages for violations of the Wage Payment Act;
- Denial of a business license for 3 years for willful violations and suspension of a business license for failure to comply with administrative orders or conciliation agreements within 30 days of issuance;
- Expanded fines up to $10,000 or imprisonment up to 6 months for employers who negligently commit violations of the Minimum Wage Act (previously, only employers who acted willfully were subject to such penalties); and
- Misdemeanor liability and fines for employers who negligently fail to comply with this Act or the Living Wage Act.
Upon signing the legislation, Mayor Gray wrote to the DC City Council to express concern that, among other things, it could potentially make employers liable for "unlimited penalties" for a willful violation. The mayor also noted that the DC City Council has promised to work with the mayor on amendments to address his concerns before it takes effect. We will advise you of any such development.
What Should Employers Do?
Given the detailed and technical changes made to the DC laws covered by this new legislation, employers must carefully evaluate the new requirements of the Act to ensure compliance and avoid penalties. To prepare, employers should:
- Gather the required information and draft the notices now, particularly if an employer must draft notices in languages in addition to English;
- Revise record-keeping procedures and correct all employee records as of October 1, 2014;
- Review all pay policies, procedures, and practices to ensure they comply with DC law;
- Update retaliation policies, if necessary; and
- Train appropriate personnel as to all of the foregoing.
When Does the New Law Take Effect?
The new law becomes effective following a 30-day congressional review period. The Act was published in the District of Columbia Register on October 3, 2014. The 30-day review period counts only days in which Congress is actually in session (i.e., not weekends, holidays, or other days during which Congress does not convene). The Act was submitted to Congress on November 21, 2014. The DC Council's legislative tracker currently estimates the law will take effect on January 14, 2015.
Employers should not wait for the law to become effective to take action to correct any potential problems, because the new law will apply to all violations occurring after October 1, 2014.
One final word: If the notice requirement of the DC Wage Theft Prevention Amendment Act seems cumbersome, take heart ¢ maybe. In 2010, New York passed a similar wage theft law, with a notice requirement and increased penalties. On June 19, 2014, the New York State Assembly and Senate voted to eliminate the notice requirement, which State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver called "a very cumbersome burden to businesses operating around the state." However, the legislation removing the notice requirement has not yet been signed by Governor Cuomo.

MU study shows lifelong exercise increases bone density in men
COLUMBIA - A University of Missouri researcher has determined that high-impact resistance training in adolescence and young-adulthood increases bone mass in middle-aged men.
A news release said associate professor in the Department of Nutrition and Exercise Physiology Pamela Hinton found that people who participated in high-impact activities when they were younger, had better hip and lumbar spine bone mineral density than people who did not.
Hinton said in the release that osteoporosis is a serious problem for men, not just women.
"The most important take-away is that if you are healthy, it is never too late to begin high-impact activities or resistance training to improve bone mineral density," Hinton said.
The release said Hinton studied the physical histories of 203 males aged 30-65 years.
The study is called "Physical activity-associated bone loading during adolescence and young adulthood is positively associated with adult bone mineral density in men," and was published in the American Journal of Men's Health.

Passenger and crew safety is the top priority at CI Jets. Our standards for safety far exceed Federal Aviation Administration regulatory requirements, which has led to a flawless aviation safety record since our founding in 1976.
CI Jets hand picks highly experienced, safety conscious professional pilots and crewmembers who work as a team to meet your needs. Each crewmember undergoes an extensive background check, to verify their safety record prior to an employment offer. Our crews are highly trained and qualified to safely fly our clients anywhere they need to go. Whether your destination is Las Vegas or Mexico City, rest assured our crews will get you there safely. CI Jets' company culture instills the goal of achieving a higher safety standard in business aviation paramount on every flight.
CI Jets utilizes industry leading providers for advanced professional pilot training. Crews extensively train in handling abnormal and emergency situations to ensure they can safely navigate and limit real world situations. Pilots receive aircraft specific education and routinely take FAA safety checks every six months.
CI Jets utilizes a fully integrated Safety Management System (SMS), which is managed by our full time Director of Safety. The system mandates a proactive assessment and mitigation of risk for every flight flown by our crews with and without passengers. SMS is a quality and safety management program designed to help CI Jets limit risk and provide management with accurate data to monitor safety in our organization. The CI Jets Director of Safety chairs our Safety Committee which meets routinely to discuss potential risks throughout the company and ways we can mitigate those risks.
Our highly experienced captains perform risk assessments prior to every flight utilizing CI Jet's custom Flight Risk Assessment Tool (FRAT). The FRAT is designed to divulge a real time risk analysis on the specific flight scheduled encompassing real time conditions. If an unusually high risk is determined the captain consults with the Chief Pilot to determine the safest strategy for the flight. Our team might choose to delay the flight or select an alternative airport if the original destination conditions do not meet our minimum requirements for safety.
CI Jets is certified Wyvern Registered and ARG/US Gold. ARG/US and Wyvren are industry leading organizations that provide safety audit and consulting services with standards that surpass FAA requirements. These certifications allow CI Jets to provide a Wyvren PASS report or ARG/US Trip Check prior to flights and offer copies to passengers or brokers when requested. These additional safety checks ensure that our aircraft and crews always meet the highest safety standards in the industry.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
I love this picture of my pup and me. It feels weird to send a card with my face on it, but I try to think about it in reverse. If I got a card from a friend, I would want it to have their face on it. And even though that makes sense to me, I still feel weird. Whatevs.
Charlie's face in this photo makes me laugh. She was so done with picture taking before we even started.
During our snowstorm a few weeks ago, I worked from home because the roads were awful. During lunch, I set up our little shoot. I put the camera on my tripod, put a plastic bag over the camera, grabbed the remote and let Charlie wander around the yard while I got the settings right.

Much like the Edge wheel build (scroll down) I performed earlier in the week, these Edge 2.68s feature Sapim CX-Ray spokes, Pillar Hidden Nipples, White Industries H2 hubs and Tufo Extreme Tape. The major differences here are that these employ a Shimano cassette body (titanium body is standard on the H2s by the way) and the highly resiliant yet surprisingly supple Continental Competition 22s which are handmade in Germany.
Due to incliment weather here in the 603 I was not able to foray outside into a more creative environment but I can assure you this weekends posts will not dissapoint should the weather break. To be continued...
If you would like to purchase a set of Edge handbuilt wheels or even just the hardgoods themselves for your own little wheel build project just shoot me an email to "firstname.lastname@example.com" or give me a ring at 603 943-4202.

The Website of Allplan is formed, on the one hand, by a publicly accessible area which can be used, as a general principle, without any personal data being stored, and, on the other hand, by an area for registered users in which extended services are offered. The provision of the extended services also requires the collection, processing and use of additional (personal) data.
1. Personal Data
The term "personal data" refers to information on factual or personal circumstances of a specific or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, but is not limited to, your name, phone number and address as well as any inventory data that you communicate to Allplan upon any registration, log-in or creation of any customer in the online shop. Any statistical data that is collected when you visit the entire Website and cannot be directly associated with your person are not covered by this term.
2. Collection, Processing and Use of Your Personal Data
When collecting, processing and using your personal data, Allplan strictly complies with the legal provisions of the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz) and of the German Telemedia Act (Telemediengesetz). Allplan collects, stores and processes your data for the entire execution of your registration, log-in or placement of orders in our online shop, including any subsequent warranties for the provided services, the technical administration as well as own marketing purposes, where applicable.
Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties or transmitted in any other manner whatsoever if this is required for contract implementation or settlement purposes or if you have given your consent beforehand. Within the framework of order handling, for example, the service providers engaged by Allplan in this context (e.g. sales partners) will be provided with the necessary data for order handling and processing. The data passed on in this manner may only be used by the service providers to perform their task. Any other use of the information is not permitted.
In order to proceed with your registration, Allplan will require your correct name and address data; for placement of orders via our online shop, Allplan will additionally need your payment data. Your e-mail address will be required to ensure that Allplan will be able to confirm the receipt of your application for registration or your order to you, to provide services (e.g. product downloads) and to communicate with you. In addition, the e-mail address will be required for identification purposes (customer log-in).
Any deletion of your personal data will take place, provided that this does not conflict with any statutory provisions and to the extent that you have asserted a corresponding claim for deletion, if the data is no longer required to fulfil the purpose pursued with the storage or if its storage is not permitted for any other legal reasons.
As a general principle, the following personal data will be collected and stored by Allplan within the framework of the provision of the services: address data (name and address), e-mail address and, as an option, the phone number.
Moreover, the personal data will be used:
- to make available contents requiring registration, including, but not limited to, product downloads, web seminars, placement of orders via our online shop;
- to carry out market research and to transmit information on news, offers and promotions, provided that you have given your consent in this context;
- to improve the services on the Website for the users and to measure the interest in the different services;
- to offer additional services, the respective description of which will be provided upon collection of the data.
3. Newsletter
The newsletter is used to inform you of Allplan and associated offers. If you want to receive the newsletter, you will have to provide Allplan with a valid e-mail address as well as with information allowing Allplan to verify that you are the holder of the indicated e-mail address and/or that its holders have given their consent to receive the newsletter.
Upon your registration for the newsletter, Allplan will store your IP address and the date of the registration. This storage will solely serve as a proof in the case that a third party abuses an e-mail address and registers to receive the newsletter without the knowledge of the authorised party.
Your consent to the storage of the data and of your e-mail address as well as to its use for the dispatch of the newsletter may be revoked by you at any time. The revocation may be made via an unsubscribe link in the newsletters themselves or by sending an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
4. Integration of Services and Contents of Third Parties
It may be the case that contents of third parties, such as YouTube videos, Google Maps map material, RSS feeds or illustrations of other websites, will be integrated into the entire Website of Allplan. This will always imply that the providers of such contents (hereinafter referred to as "Third-Party Providers") are able to see the user's IP address. This is due to the fact that they could not send the contents to the browser of the respective user without such IP address. The IP address will thus only be necessary to display such contents. Allplan will endeavour to only use those contents whose respective providers will solely use the IP address to send the contents. However, Allplan will not have any influence in this respect if the Third-Party Providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. To the extent that this is known, Allplan will communicate this to the user.
5. Cookies
Cookies are small files which are stored on your data carrier and save certain settings and data to exchange them/it with our system via your browser. As a general principle, a distinction is made between two different types of cookies: so-called session cookies, which will be deleted as soon as you close your browser; and temporary/permanent cookies, which will be stored on your data carrier for a longer period of time or for an unlimited period of time. Such storage will help Allplan to design its Website for you in a corresponding manner and will facilitate the use for you, for example if you save certain entries of you in such a way that you will not have to constantly repeat them.
Most of the cookies used by Allplan will be automatically deleted again from your hard drive at the end of the browser session (end of the session) (which is why they are also called session cookies). Session cookies will be required, for example, to offer you the shop function across multiple pages. Apart from that, Allplan will also use cookies which will remain on your hard drive. If you visit the page again, it will automatically be recognised that you have already visited the Website and what your preferred entries and settings are. These temporary or even permanent cookies (which have a lifetime between one month and ten years) will be stored on your hard drive and will delete themselves once the defined period has expired. In particular, these cookies will serve the purpose of making the Website more user-friendly, more effective and safer. Thanks to these files, it will be possible, for example, that certain information specifically tailored to your interests will be displayed to you within the Website.
The cookies used by Allplan will not store any personal data. As a result, it will not be possible to assign the cookies used to any particular person and will thus not be assignable to you either. Once the cookie has been enabled, an identification number will be allocated to it. Any assignment of your personal data to this identification number will not be possible at any time and will not take place either. Using the cookie technology as a basis, Allplan will solely be provided with pseudonymised information, for example on the pages of the Website that have been visited, on the products that have been viewed, etc.
Allplan will make use of certain advertising partners who will help Allplan to design the Website for you in a more interesting manner. Therefore, the cookies of partner companies will also be stored on your hard drive if you visit the websites. These cookies are so-called temporary/permanent cookies, which will automatically delete themselves once the defined period has expired. These temporary or even permanent cookies (which have a lifetime between fourteen days and ten years) will be stored on your hard drive and will delete themselves once the defined period has expired. The cookies of the partner companies will not contain any personal data either. They will solely collect pseudonymised data under a specific user ID. Examples of this include, but are not limited to, data about the offers and/or products that have been viewed by you, whether or not you have requested and/or ordered anything, etc. In this context, some of the advertising partners will also collect some information that goes beyond the Website, for example on the pages that have been visited by you beforehand or on the products for which you have expressed an interest, for instance, in order to display such advertisements to you that correspond to your interests in the best possible manner. Such pseudonymised data will not be combined with your personal data at any point in time. Their exclusive purpose is to enable the advertising partners to address you with specific advertisements which might actually be of interest for you.
By using the Website of Allplan, you agree that so-called cookies will be used and that usage data from you will thus be collected, stored and used. Furthermore, you also agree that your data will be stored in cookies even beyond the end of the browser session and may be called up again, for example the next time you visit the websites. This agreement may be revoked at any time by you with effect for the future by declining acceptance of cookies in your browser settings.
You can set your browser to only accept the storage of cookies if you give your consent to such storage. If you only want to accept the cookies of Allplan, but not the cookies of any service providers and partners (third-party providers), you can select the "Block third-party cookies" setting in your browser. As a general rule, you can use the help function in the menu bar of your web browser to show you how you can reject new cookies and disable any cookies already received.
6. Log Files
Every time the Website of Allplan is accessed, usage data will be transmitted by the respective Internet browser and stored in registry logs, the so-called server log files. The data records stored in this context contain the following data: data and time of the retrieval, name of the page called up, IP address, referrer URL (source URL from which you have accessed the Website), the quantity of data transferred, as well as product and version information about the browser used.
Once the use has been terminated, the IP addresses of the user will be deleted or anonymised. In any case of anonymisation, the IP addresses will be modified in such a manner that it will no longer be possible, or only with a disproportionately large expense in time, cost and labour, to assign the individual information on personal or factual circumstances to a specific or identifiable natural person.
These log file data records will be evaluated by Allplan in anonymised form to further improve the Website and to design it in a more user-friendly manner, to localise any faults more quickly as well as to control server capacities. Apart from that, it will also be possible to identify and correct any faults on the Website more quickly by analysing the registry logs
7. Web Analysis
To continuously improve and optimise the Website, Allplan will use so-called tracking technologies. To this end, the tools of the following service providers will be used.
7.1 Google Analytics
Allplan uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. In case of activation of the IP anonymization, Google will truncate/anonymize the last octet of the IP address for Member States of the European Union as well as for other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is sent to and shortened by Google servers in the USA. On behalf of the website provider Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website provider. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. Furthermore you can prevent Google's collection and use of data (cookies and IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Further information concerning the terms and conditions of use and data privacy can be found at www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html or at www.google.de/intl/en_uk/policies/. Please note that on this website, Google Analytics code is supplemented by "anonymizeIp" to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses (so called IP-masking).
7.2 Optimizely
Allplan uses Optimizely, a range of website analytics services for A/B and multivariate testing purposes provided by Optimizely, Inc. (55 New Montgomery St. #888, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA). This service uses cookies to identify a visitor's browser and track website usage while on this website. The cookies do not collect personal information about you. For more information on how Optimizely uses your data, please go to: www.optimizely.com/privacy. You can opt out anytime by following the instruction at www.optimizely.com/opt_out.
7.3 Use of Piwik
Data for marketing and optimisation purposes is collected and saved on these webpages using the Piwik software (www.piwik.org) . User profiles can be created from this data under a pseudonym. Cookies can be used here. Cookies involve small text files, which are locally saved in the cache of the Internet browser of the user visiting the webpages. Cookies allow the identification of the Internet browser. Without an explicit approval by the relevant person, the data collected with the Piwik Technologies is not used to personally identify the visitors of this website and is not merged with the personal data of the carrier of the pseudonym. The data collection and saving can always be objected to with future effect.
8. Tracking and Retargeting
Allplan uses so-called tracking and retargeting technologies. Allplan uses these technologies to design the Website for you in a more interesting manner. This technology makes it possible to address those Internet users who have already expressed an interest in products on the Website with corresponding advertisements on the websites of the partners. Allplan is convinced that, as a general rule, the insertion of personalised, interest-based advertising is of more interest to the Internet user that advertising that does not have such a personal relation. The insertion of such advertising material on the pages of the partners will be made on the basis of a cookie technology and an analysis of the previous usage behaviour. This form of advertising will be made in a completely pseudonymised manner. It will not include the storage of personal data, nor will usage profiles with your personal data be combined in this context.
8.1 Google Adwords Conversion Tracking
Allplan uses the 'Google AdWords' online advertising program, specifically its conversion tracking function. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad delivered by Google. These cookies will expire after 30 days and do not yield personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not expired, we and Google will detect that the user has clicked on the ad and been redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. Information obtained by using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion stats for advertisers who have opted-in to conversion tracking. The customers can determine the total number of users who have clicked on their ad and who were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not obtain any information which can identify the user personally. Users who do not want to participate in this tracking can easily disable the Google conversion tracking cookie on their Internet browser via the user settings. These users will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. Learn more about the Google Privacy Policy here: www.google.de/policies/privacy/
8.2 Microsoft Bing
Allplan uses the conversion tracking of Microsoft (Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA). Microsoft Bing Ads puts a cookie on your computer provided that you ended up on our website by a Microsoft Bing ad. This way Microsoft and Allplan can recognize that somebody clicked on an ad, was redirected to our website and reached a previously defined goal site (conversion site). Thereby, Allplan only gets to know the total number of users who clicked on a Bing ad and were redirected to the conversion page. Personal information regarding the identity of a user will not be saved.
If you do not want to be tracked, you can decline putting a cookie for instance via your browser settings.
8.3 Burda Direkt Services
For the purposes of marketing and optimization Allplan uses the products and services of Burda Direkt Services (www.burdadirektservices.de). In the process data is collected, processed and saved for the purpose, among other things, of creating a pseudonym user profile. Where this is possible and useful all user profiles will be fully anonymized. Cookies may be used for this purpose. Cookies are small text files which are saved in the Internet browser of the visitor and serve to recognize this Internet browser. The data which is collected, which may also include personal data, is transmitted to Burda Direkt Services or is collected directly by Burda Direkt Services. Burda Direkt Services may use the information which is left by visits to the websites for the purpose of creating anonymized profiles of use. Without the separately provided consent of the affected party the data which is acquired in this way will not be used in order to identify visitors to this website in person, and it is not linked with personal data relating to the owner of the pseudonym. If IP addresses are recorded, these will be anonymized immediately after recording by the deletion of the last number block. The recording, processing and saving of data can be rejected at any time in relation to the future.
8.4 Wiredminds
Allplan uses products of WiredMinds AG (www.wiredminds.de) for marketing and optimization purposes. These products collect and process your personal data and use it to create usage profiles under a pseudonym. These usage profiles are fully anonymized where possible and appropriate. Allplan and WiredMinds employ cookies (also known as tracking pixels). Allplan transfer the data that it collects about you, which may also include personal data, to WiredMinds or WiredMinds gathers this data directly. WiredMinds is entitled to use information that you leave behind by visiting our Allplan sites to create anonymized usage profiles. The data collected shall not be used to personally identify visitors without the express permission of the party affected and shall not be merged with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym. Any IP addresses recorded are anonymized immediately by deleting the last number block. Permission to collect and store data in the future may be revoked at any time: Exclude from website tracking
8.5 Google Adwords Remarketing
Allplan uses the Google AdWords remarketing service to advertise on third party websites (including Google) to previous visitors to our site. It could mean that we advertise to previous visitors who haven't completed a task on our site, for example using the contact form to make an enquiry. This could be in the form of an advertisement on the Google search results page, or a site in the Google Display Network. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone's past visits to the site. Any data collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy and Google's privacy policy.

The Google +1 button is a way for you to share information publicly with the world. The Google +1 button helps you and others receive personalized content from Google and its partners. The fact that you +1'd something will be recorded by Google, along with information about the page you were viewing when you clicked on the +1 button. Your +1's may appear to others as an annotation with your profile name and photo in Google services (such as in search results or on your Google Profile) or elsewhere on websites and ads on the Internet.
Google will record information about your +1 activity in order to provide you and other users with a better experience on Google services.
In order to use the Google +1 button, you need to have a public Google Profile visible to the world, which at a minimum includes the name you chose for the profile. That name will be used across Google services and in some cases it may replace another name you've used when sharing content under your Google Account.

For over 50 years, Bloomberg Tax's renowned flagship daily news service, Daily Tax Report® has helped leading practitioners and policymakers stay on the cutting edge of taxation and...
Aug. 22 — A taxpayer who received a $45,000 settlement from a discrimination lawsuit against his former employer must include that amount in his 2012 income, but can take an above-the-line deduction for his legal fees ( George v. Commissioner , T.C., No. 2065-15, T.C. Memo. 2016-156, 8/22/16 ).
U.S. Tax Court Judge Albert G. Lauber ruled Aug. 22 that Abraham George, who was awarded the settlement from Dana Motors Ltd., a New York auto dealership, couldn't exclude the settlement payment under tax code Section 104(a)(2) because the payment didn't stem from a settlement over "psychological and physical harms."
The Internal Revenue Service issued George a deficiency notice for more than $10,000 due to his failure to include the settlement amounts in his gross income for 2012.
George sued the dealership in 2011 to "remedy Dana's discrimination in employment" based on his national origin. The parties entered into a confidential settlement and general release agreement in May 2012, which resulted in Dana paying George $45,000—$15,000 of which was immediately paid to his attorney for legal fees.
In his Tax Court petition, George argued that the payment was excludable from gross income under Section 104(a)(2), which allows a taxpayer to exclude from gross income the amount of any damages received on account of personal physical injuries or physical sickness.
According to Lauber, although George's "complaint included a general allegation of 'psychological and physical harms,' he did not allege with any specificity that he had suffered actual physical injury or physical sickness." Lauber ruled that the amounts were includable in George's gross income, but that because he paid legal fees to secure the discrimination settlement, Section 62 entitled him to an above-the-line deduction for the legal fees paid.
Jeffrey Melcer represented George. Marissa Savit represented the commissioner.

For a number of years now, colleagues in Enterprise have been trying to tackle this issue. We needed a quick and effective way to give students their overall marks, ratings on elements of their work and comments, but without taking too much lesson time and at the same time monitoring the progress of students at their workstations.
Initial Solution
The first solution involved a spreadsheet. To avoid other students seeing the marks and comments of others, each row was cut and then pasted into an individual spreadsheet which was then emailed to the particular student. It worked, but it was not time efficient!
Refined Solution #1
With DHSB moving across to Google and the wide range of possibilities that presented, I searched for solutions along the lines of using Gmail to mail merge these individual assessments. It was then I discovered the whole new world of Google Scripts and coding as well as the Google Script Gallery. Brilliant!
This link to Digital Inspiration's page explains the concept:
The Google Developers' tutorial can be found here:
The main problem with this solution was it involved accessing the actual coding and adjusting it to meet the design of the spreadsheet being used. Not a very good solution for busy colleagues.
Refined Solution #2
I researched some more and discovered a more effective solution, produced by
Romain Vialard (https://plus.google.com/u/0/+RomainVialard-public/about )
The script "Yet Another Mail Merge" does not involve any tweaking of the actual code and is very efficient once the concept is understood, and the initial spreadsheets and draft emails are setup.
For my GCSE ICT work I have set up separate draft emails covering the 3 main sections of the practical work the students are doing. The feedback can be as brief as "Yes/No" in various columns or it can be extensive as many sentences of comment in one spreadsheet cell.
My current Year 11 set have said they like the feedback and how it is delivered. Clearly, once the data has been fed back, the reinforcement comes with those all-important teacher-student conversations.
The Swedish Connection
Having had this experience of Google Script, it meant that a few colleagues were able to understand fully the potential of Flubaroo when it was demonstrated to us by our visiting Swedish colleagues taking part in our Regio Project.

India's aviation market grows rapidly
The Indian domestic market is showing no sign of reducing its aviation activities, with a 25% increase in the number of flights scheduled for May 2007 compared with the same month last year. According to the latest statistics from OAG, the world's authority on flight information, this represents an additional 8,631 flights and an astonishing 1.7 million extra seats available to people travelling within India.
This ranks India in third place in the Top 10 list of countries with the highest number of additional flights in May this year compared to the same month in 2006, behind China and the USA.
A total of more than 43 thousand domestic flights are timetabled this month for India.
Within this figure of all scheduled passenger flight operations, the low cost sector shows a 62% increase of over 7,000 more flights year on year and a staggering 151% rise in the number of seats available, representing an extra 1.6 million low cost seats.
The figures are revealed in the latest OAG Quarterly Airline Traffic Statistics, a regular snapshot of airline activity around the world. Flight information and data solutions company OAG, collates data from more than 1,000 scheduled airlines, on a daily basis, which gives an overview of anticipated travel demand. These statistics are compiled using OAG's MAX suite of data analysis tools.
Duncan Alexander, VP Business Development & Industry Relations at OAG, commented:
"India's domestic market is experiencing an unprecedented growth, attributed to the increased operations offered by several low cost carriers. As a result, nearly one in two flights within India is now operated by a low cost carrier. This is even more impressive considering that the low cost phenomenon is still in its infancy in the Indian market. It has already far outstripped the ratio in the UK and US, two of the most established low cost markets."
Last week OAG announced the formation of a strategic partnership with the Bird Group, one of the largest diversified groups in the aviation, travel and information technology arena, to strengthen its presence throughout India and the Indian sub-continent. The Bird Group is OAG's National Marketing Company for the region, responsible for managing the sales and marketing of OAG's portfolio of products and services for the airline, airport and corporate travel sectors. A micro site for the Indian region giving details of OAG's travel planning solutions is now available at http://www.oag.com/graphics/birdgroup2.htm .
Bird Group Executive Director Mr. Ankur Bhatia said: "These statistics demonstrate just a small portion of the breadth and depth of information available within OAG's suite of market intelligence and analysis tools. We are excited at the prospect of marketing these products and believe they will bring significant value to airlines, airports and the wider Indian air transport industry in helping to secure competitive advantage on the world stage."
Internationally, India continues to show steady year on year growth, with a 7% increase in the number of flights into and out of India (an additional 835 flights and more than 200,000 seats a month). The number of flights has virtually doubled from 6,800 in May 2001 to 13,200 in May 2007.

A team of volunteers tidying up woodland in Leeds got more than they bargained for when they stumbled upon a sawn-off shotgun this morning.
Police were called to Gledhow Valley Woods in north Leeds shortly after 11am when the weapon was found by a member of the group.
A spokesman said the sawn-off shotgun had been wrapped up in a piece of old carpet and would now undergo a full forensic examination.
Firearms trained officers were sent to the scene initially to make the shotgun safe to be moved.
An area of the woods was cordoned off while the officers worked and to allow forensic work to be carried out at the scene.
A full investigation will now be carried out by Leeds District CID detectives.

Eye Glasses
Glasses are made up of two components. The frame which usually conveys fashion, and the lenses which perform the task of refracting light.
The earliest spectacles were produced by glaziers in Venice, Italy. Lenses in these first eyeglasses were made from quartz or rock crystal and produced by gold craftsmen. The earliest historical figure to wear glasses was Bishop Ugone da Provenza. He was protrayed in a painting in the year 1252, which can be seen in the church of St. Nicolo in Italy. Craftsmen who made these early glasses were called The Cristallerieri, and they had their own ethics code established in the year 1284.
Spectacles were not commonly used until after the printing press was invented by Guttenburg in the mid-1500's. The written word marked the beginning of the need to correct vision with eyeglasses. The initial lens design was biconvex and corrected presbyopia and farsightedness. Some time later biconcave lenses were made to help the nearsighted. Johannes Kepler discovered the idea of grading lenses by their focal power.
In the 1800's most glasses were sold in hardware stores. Slowly jewelers succeeded hardware stores as the dispenser of glasses. People who thought they needed glasses would try on one after another until they found the pair that worked for them.
Bausch and Lomb and American Optical were the first companies in America to produce ophthalmic lenses for optometrists. The first lenses they mass produced were glass and later in the 1900's a material made of plastic was introduced that revolutionized the lens industry.
Lens Materials
The lenses in your eyeglasses can be made from different materials. Your optometrist will help you decide which is right for your special needs.
Plastic (Resin)
It is the most common choice for lenses typically because it is half the weight of glass. It can be tinted to almost any color and density, and is seven times more impact resistant than glass. Plastic lenses are more easily scratched than glass lenses.
This was the only lens material available up to the year 1943. It's the most scratch-resistant material, but twice the weight of plastic.
This is the most impact-resistant material available and is the lens of choice for young people and those with an active lifestyle. Polycarbonate lenses are inherently thinner than a standard lens and block all harmful ultraviolet light. This material is difficult to tint.
Photochromic – Lenses That Darken In The Sun
Available in both plastic and glass, this lens darkens when going from indoors to outdoors. These lenses perform well for about three years, then begin to lose their ability to lighten up.
High-Index – Lighter, Thinner Lenses
This lens is available in both plastic and glass. It has the quality of bending light faster. This allows for a thinner design. This is recommended for a person with a strong prescription. Thinner, lighter lenses are more comfortable and look better.
Lens Designs
Single Vision
This lens has one power and corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. They can be used for distance or near activities.
This lens has more than one power, and is used when a person needs one power for distance and a different power for near vision. These lenses are also called bifocals, trifocals and progressive addition lenses. The progressive is a high-tech lens that has a cosmetic advantage because the line does not show – it's invisible. This lens has the distance prescription in the upper half and the lower half gradually increases in power to provide clear reading vision.
These lenses are relatively new and provide special visual and cosmetic benefits for people with strong prescriptions. They are flatter than conventional lenses and reduce the magnification effect of farsighted corrections thereby enhancing appearance. These lenses are thinner and lighter and allow more peripheral clarity to one's vision.
Polarized or polaroid lenses offer the most advanced form of sunglasses available. They are made with a special film embedded in the lens which is placed at an angle that cancels reflected light rays allowing only natural light to pass through. They are excellent lenses for drivers, fishermen, hunters and anyone out in snow.
Lens Coatings
Anti-Reflection Coating (ARC)
Regular lenses reflect from 8-13% of incident light. ARC reduces this reflection to 1-2% resulting in less eye fatigue, better night vision, reduced glare and enhanced appearance.
Scratch Protection
Plastic lenses can be scratched easier than glass and need a coating to increase their surface hardness. This coating does not make the lens scratch proof but tends to lengthen the life of the lens. This coating is especially helpful with children's lenses.
Ultraviolet Protection (UV 400)
It is a fact that UV light is harmful to the eye. UV 400 coating allows the lens to block 100% of harmful UV light. Polycarbonate lenses provide this protection without a special coating.

Genuine Rickenbacker
Bridge Pickup Handrest Cover 4001/4003
Chrome Plated Plastic
Posted by Unknown on 28th Feb 2018
Didn't realize this part is plastic. I expected more from Rickenbacker. For what it is this part is worth about $5.00 not $41 and change.
Posted by Royce Hall on 13th Apr 2017
This Rickenbacker Bridge Pickup Handrest Cover made my 4003s (which was purchased here at "Pick Of The Ricks") complete in that it made the bass easier for me to play, and gave it back that classic "Rickenbacker Look". (the previous owner had removed this part from the bass)
I'm happy to be a customer here, and I, along with all my friends at the "Rick Resource Forum" want to wish everybody at "Pick Of The Ricks" continued success and happiness in 2017 and beyond!
Posted by Jeff on 1st Dec 2013
Very happy with the 4001 Rickenbacker replacement bridge pickup cover. Great price and prompt shipping.
Posted by Gary & Matt Stone on 4th Oct 2013
We recently got a 1977 4001 in near perfect shape. The only thing missing was the pickup cover. We ordered one from POTR. It arrived promptly and fit perfectly. Very high quality, and the bass looks gorgeous. Thanks so much for the great service.

Nov 10: Marching in the rain. We were on the way to the Palace.
I was alomost arrested for distributing the BERSIH leaflets with other supporters of BERSIH this afternoon at the Sentral Monorail Station in Kuala Lumpur.
Some 20 over SB officers from the Brickfields police station disrupted the launching of the Yellow Saturdays campaign. The took our Mykads and wanted us to go to the police station for investigation.
I challenged the police officer to state the reason for retaining our Mykads but to no avail. I refused to follow them to the balai because we have the rights to distribute leaflets and they have no rights to stop us.
After some 15 minutes of stand-off with the police, they finally returned the Mykads to us without the need to go to the balai for investigation.
They have also confiscated some of our balloons and leaftlets without justification.
We managed to read out our statement and distributed some ballons and leaflets to the public before the disruption.
We in BERSIH will continue to promote our Yellow Saturdays campaign all over the country. No amount of pressure from the police/ BN could stop us from pushing for clean and fair elections.
This is the statement from BERSIH today…

Press Release 17 November 2007 The Yellow Wave Continues…
Hot on the heels of the highly successful and historic 100, 000 People's Gathering on 10 November, BERSIH continues on its mission for clean and fair elections with the launch of the Yellow Wave campaign.
As evident in the People's Gathering on 10 November, we can truly make an impact if we all stand together and speak as one voice. On 10 November, we made a statement that was heard all over the world. And the world took notice, not least because we stood out in YELLOW, the colour chosen to symbolize our protest.
BERSIH believes that our flawed electoral process is a core cause for the exploding political, administrative and judicial rot in Malaysia, therefore we have an obligation to maintain the momentum for change and reform. We need to send a strong, consistent signal to the government, and what better way to remind them of our demands than to wear YELLOW, the colour of 10 November!
BERSIH urges all concerned Malaysians and their friends to wear something YELLOW every Saturday, starting from today. Wear a yellow ribbon on your shirt. Wear a yellow necktie or scarf. Use a yellow umbrella. Tie a yellow ribbon on your car's antenna or side mirrors. Tie a ribbon on your bike. Wear a yellow armband. Better yet, wear your BERSIH T-shirt!
Our voices must be heard. Our message must get across. Our rights must be restored!
Let us paint the country yellow, starting today!
About BERSIH
Launched in November 2006, BERSIH started off as a coalition of 26 NGOs and 5 political parties. Today BERSIH is supported by over 70 NGOs and 6 political parties. BERSIH's four immediate demands for electoral reform are:
- The use of indelible ink to prevent multiple voting
- The abolition of postal voting for the armed forces
- A thorough cleanup of the electoral roll to eliminate fraudulent registrations
- Fair and equitable access to the media
|Launch of 'yellow day' marred by police harassment
|Today's launch of polls watchdog coalition Bersih's 'yellow day' was marred by what one Bersih leader described as police harassment in order to disrupt their campaign for clean and free elections.Several Bersih leaders, including DAP leader Ronnie Liu and PKR leaders N Subramaniam and Faisal Mustaffa, had just begun distributing balloons and pamphlets to pedestrians and commuters in front of the KL Central monorail station in Brickfields.Reading from a prepared statement, Liu called on the public to wear "something yellow" every Saturday as a statement of support for electoral reform and to send a message to the government for clean and free and elections."Wear a yellow ribbon on your shirt! Wear a yellow necktie or scarf! Use a yellow umbrella! Tie a yellow ribbon on your car's antenna or side mirrors! Tie a ribbon on your bike! Wear a yellow armband! Better yet, wear your Bersih t-shirt!"Our voices must be heard. Our message must get across. Our rights must be restored!" said Liu when the launch started at 2:30pm a few feet away from PKR's information office.
Pamphlets, balloons seized
The upbeat mood of the activists, however, took a downturn 15 minutes after they started their distribution campaign when several police officers from the Brickfields district police station appeared and ordered them to surrender their identification cards (IC).
Leading the operation, district ant-vice division chief Kamaruddin Yusof initially told Liu and the others that they were suspected of violating the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984.
About 50 copies of Bersih pamphlets – and 20 of Bersih's yellow balloons – were seized.
Kamaruddin refused to say, however, what offence had been committed exactly or the relevant section that had been infringed.
"You cannot just tell me we've done something wrong under the Presses Act. You have to tell me what we've done exactly," said Liu.
"Don't argue with me. Not here. I'm not going to argue with you. Whatever you want to say, say it at the police station," Kamaruddin responsed.
Several minutes later, Kamaruddin also said the Bersih activists were disturbing public order as "we have observed that you have been creating public disorder here."
Also present with him was district public order division head Mohd Khalid Adun.
Kamaruddin told Liu and several others that their ICs were needed to record their particulars. A vehicle was called to take them to the district police station.
'Orders from above'
The 15-minute wait for the police vehicle in the hot sun, however, seemed to to mellow the initially rigid stance of Kamaruddin and other police officers.
"You don't have to come to the police station. You can have back your ICs. You're free to go," said Kamaruddin before ordering the documents to be returned to their owners.
"I have orders from above, lah," Kamaruddin told reporters when asked what the whole affair was about.
Speaking to Malaysiakini later, Liu said the episode was a clear example of harassment by the authorities in order to disrupt Bersih's public education and awareness campaign.
It will not, however, dissuade the coalition from continuing with its efforts.
"We will continue the campaign. We still want the people to know about the Bersih campaign and to wear something yellow every Saturday," said Liu.
Bersih – made up of 67 NGOs and five political parties – has taken the royal colour of yellow to beseech the King's hand in calling for electoral reform.
Last Saturday, they held a rally and march to the national palace to submit a memorandum to the King's representative.

Press Release 17 November 2007 BERSIH's response to the statement issued by the Palace
BERSIH wishes to put in on record that we have never said at any time that the memorandum handed over to Yang DiPertuan Agong on 10 November was handed over with his Majesty's tacit or express approval. The Rakyat of Malaysia are free to petition our King at any time on matters of major public interest, including free and fair elections, a position we are sure His Majesty would surely agree with. BERSIH again thanks the Palace for receiving on Tuesday, 6 November 2007, our written request for the appointment at 5 pm on 10 November 2007 to hand over the memorandum. We also appreciate the request from the Palace for the list of names of the delegation who was to hand over the memorandum to a representative of his Majesty and which we duly submitted on Friday, 9 November 2007. Finally, BERSIH wishes to record again our thanks to His Majesty for receiving the memorandum through his appointed representative on 10 November 2007. As citizens of Malaysia, it is our expectation that His Majesty will continue to play the role that he has been entrusted with under the Federal Constitution, and in so doing, to protect the rights and interest of all Malaysians and to ensure the integrity of our institutions. On our part, BERSIH will continue its struggle for free and fair elections and for genuine democracy in Malaysia. For enquiries, please contact the secretariats; Faisal Mustaffa 019-2232002 or Medeline Chang 012-2192010.

NEW YORK — The major television networks, which spent weeks preparing for an outdoor presidential inaugural extravaganza, had less than 24 hours to move Monday's ceremony and celebrations indoors.
"A lot of people here are as disappointed as the West Virginia March Band must be," said George Schweitzer, vice president for communications for the CBS Broadcast Group.
The bitter cold weather in Washington forced changes in the inaugural activities, causing the networks to redeploy personnel and equipment.
"We essentially had to change everything we were doing. Everything," said Bob McFarland, NBC News' Washington bureau chief.
One of the biggest logistical changes involved the scrapping of the inaugural parade in Washington, D.C., and scheduling, instead, a makeshift event at the Capital Centre in Landover, Md.
"What we're trying to do in six to seven hours, it normally takes six to seven days to do," said Tom Wolzien, NBC's vice president of special productions. "Stay tuned."

a little bit of :: this week
This week...
:: I started working from work again. It was awesome to get back to closer to normal.
:: we caught sunset at the pier and celebrated my return to work with hamburgers.
:: the house didn't get cleaned but at least the laundry got put away.
:: I bought local {as in right from our little town local} honey. Pure sweetness!
:: we thought about a house in the country, but a new septic system sounds beyond our reach.
:: we watched the derby and ate cotton candy.
:: sunset at the Sutro Baths was well worth Lukas waiting to finish the 49er game. We forgot about the government shut down - the parking lot was closed.
:: each day is a little bit better.

*****Yawn****** So lame. Why does every single discussion of an IPO dog end up in a pissing match declaring what dog is truly more bad ass and "harder" than others. Come on people. ***Huge eyeroll***
This is getting so old. All you super hard, extreme fighting dog enthusiasts should ask Admin to form your own forum so you will stop hijacking every single IPO thread. Seriously.
99.9% of the population does not want or need a "hard" dog. Times have changed. These dogs aren't usually bred on purpose (outside of some military or police programs) because you will not be able to find them homes. It's that simple. Really, it is....and I don't think the breed is going to go to hell in a hand basket because the majority of GSDs are not "extreme", "hard", or "serious". I doubt that was the intent of the breed founder to create a breed of only "hard" dogs. I believe he wanted to create a breed of dog that was stable with good nerve that could serve the masses in a variety of ways. Period. It gets so tiring constantly bitching with this small percentage of people who want hard dogs. Ok, good...you want a hard dog. Great. Don't hijack every single IPO thread just to bash the dogs. I respect their opinion but now it is time to move on......please. There is really nothing left to discuss as it always turns into a big pissing match. Time to move on, folks. Nothing to see here.

No body has 'bashed' any dogs on here except valk, and seems to have lost interest after he was corrected about his mis-assumptions.
99.9% of the population doesn't want a show dog, either, but nobody is harrasing you over your redundant brags. Why does the admins need to give us our own forum? Just because you don't want us to post about a topic you hate?
Move along, you bashing working dog people is 'sooo old'.
by Glock on 20 October 2017 - 21:10
So Smiley its ok for a WUSV level IPO dog to panick when being shouted at by a helper ? And be presented as working dog specimen?
by joanro on 20 October 2017 - 21:10
BTW, smiley, times have certainly changed.....families are wanting ' bad ass' 'fighting' mean ass family loving, family protectors more than ever now....because society has taken a down turn with an exponential increase in crime over the past several years.
And why does every discussion about protection dogs get hijacked by you insulting us?
So you talk about your show dogs (sooo laaammmme), we will continue to talk about our 'bad ass' biting dogs.....you just skip over our discussions. Okey dokey?
by Smiley on 20 October 2017 - 21:10
Glock..IPO is a SPORT and not every dog will be successful. You don't use a gosh dang competition to determine a dog's breeding worth or suitablity for work. Please.
And..Joanro...I am not surprised by your comments because you bully people on here and act like you are the greatest breeder in the world! Yes, I will talk about my show dogs which, by the way, is my DDR working line dog. I am sure she will be thrilled to be confused with a show dog. *another eyeroll*
This is my last post while you two continue to cause trouble on the board. I have zero desire to engage you. Perhaps, you should start a new thread on your hard dogs? Just a suggestion.
by joanro on 20 October 2017 - 21:10
Smiley, I think you are projecting, again.
Smiley: '..While you two cause trouble on the board.'. Again, you are projecting. So I am not surprised by the negativity by you...just more of the same from you.
If you dont have anything to Contribute to the conversation, take your bullying self elsewhere.
Yes, while you continue to talk about your show dogs, we will talk about our biting dogs, okey dokey? Is that ok with you, smiley? Or shall we ask your permission before we hit submit?
Sounds like you have a problem. Eye rolll!
As for me thinking im the best breeder in world....no, but I would say I have a good eye, I am objective, and I've been lucky. Lucky that I chose 4 puppies from jinopo's two jiris that turned out to be outstanding dogs, and became my foundation stock; and lucky that two pups from two other breeders in Czech turned out extremely good.
But I've also been unlucky; one pup I imported from the Netherlands turned out to have very bad hips; two littermate pups i bought (who's dam was imported prego from czech) that turned out have multiple missing teeth; a wgwl pup born in usa that came with a two inch over bite and cost me 1000$ shipping here and back to breeder, another czech ypougster bred in texas that had crippling elboes dysplasia. So it takes good luck when buying pups and honesty when the luck is bad to not use those dogs for breeding. So, i guess that makes me an ethical breeder, smiley, producing as good and sometimes with luck, better than my original dogs.
And it also takes a lot of time, keeping pups from litters and raising them to see how they turn out, and placing them where they will fit best.
Am I the 'best breeder inthe world' ,smiley? One litter a year is not enough to evaluate on that level, but i will say I am a good breeder.

Hard dog can be handler hard, I prefer to call a dog that can take lots of pressure strong, and IMO hardness or a dog being strong, has nothing to do with a dog being preydriven or civil,so if a dog stays on the sleeve after out like Gero in the video doesnot say anything about being strong or hard, one way or the other.
this is a female from my breeding that IMO is strong and handler hard(not handleragressive), she happened to to be from line of Gero as well, https://youtu.be/7ByTAqXoqqo
handler hard dog makes it less easy trainable, as in not impressed by corrections etc.
her sire Ajax is a strong and civil dog, but not handlerhard, therefore, easy to train and correct

I think the title of this thread is WUSV dogs that fail........ I wrote a post on my beliefs why some dogs had problems, before the thread morphed into Gero. Having attended every WUSV ever held in this country, and well over 10-20 nationals that are qualifiers for WUSV, I feel like I have a basis to make a contribution to this thread. Also, myself as well as others have titled dogs in IPO that again demonstrates a working knowledge of WUSV. Finally, as a dog trainer who can read dogs when looking at them work/compete I also I felt I could make a contribution to this topic....I hate seeing threads hijacked also, But, if you really know nothing about WUSV, or IPO, I find it hard to see your perspective of contribution based on title of thread🤷♀.
Now that doesn't mean anybody can't post, IMO, but I'm merely saying some of the people doing the most posting and having the strongest opinions, haven't a clue about why WUSV dogs fail.......and to me that causes these threads to derail!
by Koots on 21 October 2017 - 16:10
As evidenced by the vid posted in the beginning, you can see how some of the dogs are not prepared to deal with the strong helper aggression and the yelling on the long bite. As well, the helpers present very strong challenge by their posture while dogs are on the sleeve, even without stick hits. I think the helpers did a great job of separating the strong, world-class dogs from the others. The strong dogs got amped up by the helpers presentation and aggression, with the top-placing dogs still able to be clear enough and prepared enough (well-trained) to 'out ' when commanded.
As I stated before some of the training did not prepare the dogs for what they encountered from these helpers. But, this does not mean that some of the dogs that failed would have passed even if they were better prepared, as there is inherent weakness in some dogs that was exposed by this trial. All the training in the world cannot overcome or cover up weakness. It's then only a matter of how the weakness will be exposed by the helpers. In some other dog training disciplines, it is the job of the decoy to expose each dog's weakness and try to take points away from the dog. In IPO, because of the nature of the routineness of the trial, some dogs weakness can be covered up by training 'to the routine'. It was refreshing to see in this year's WUSV that the helpers presented strong challenge to the dogs, and the 'cream rose to the top'.

When you hear the name Beverly Hills Hotel, most people immediately think of one thing: celebrities. While I wasn't lucky enough to run into a celebrity while I lunched (because, really, you can't just "eat" at the Beverly Hills Hotel!) at the Polo Lounge, the whole experience felt quintessentially Old Hollywood.
My California-based grandma joined me for this glamorous lunch during my long weekend in L.A., and we both agreed that this classic Hollywood landmark really lives up to its name. Here are my thoughts!
What kind of restaurant is it? What's the price point?
The Polo Lounge offers classic American fare at sky high prices. Save this spot for special occasions!
How's it look? Describe the restaurant's aesthetic, any notable features, first impressions.
It's a classic beauty. The hotel is famous for its green and pink motif, and that doesn't stop at the Polo Lounge. Green is much more prominent, with large circular forest green booths in the indoor seating area and plenty of matching cushions and umbrellas outdoors. We ate on the patio, which was beautiful. The umbrellas and trees overhead provided the perfect amount of shade. The entire area could have easily felt outdated, but it's managed to hang on to an elegant and classic image.
How's the wait staff? Are they attentive, good with kids, fast?
The wait staff was great. All my boxes were checked: kind, funny, fast. No complaints here—not that I'm surprised!
Entree: how's it taste? If meat, is your meat cooked the way you wanted?

As The Bell Curve clearly demonstrates, IQ is probably the single most reliable predictor of life outcomes, determining what we tend to see as 'success'. This is one reason that no matter what's done, no matter how many trillions spent to 'bridge the achievement gap' it remains as intractably wide as it ever was. It's why you see black geniuses only in MSM and Hollywood propaganda, never in real life.
As The Bell Curve proves, the average White IQ level is 100 while that of the average African-American is 85. (I'm confining this analysis to America because black Africans have borderline retard IQ levels). Were it not for half a century of grotesque AA-derived distortions America's blacks would today still be doing what nature intended: Eking out a parlous existence by way of simple low level tasks, supplemented by crude and opportunistic criminality. Time and again all over the world tiny numbers of Whites have easily outmanoeuvred, subdued and controlled vast black populations and still would today were it not for suicidal out-group altruism. Even where outnumbered 25:1 like in Southern Rhodesia Whites' smarts could have retained control were it not for the whole world turning against them.
Which brings me to my hypothesis: Are Ashkenazi Jews to Whites what Whites are to (American) blacks? Ashkenazi Jews score 0.75 to 1.0 standard deviations above the general White average, corresponding to an IQ 112-115. That's there or thereabouts the same differential between Whites and blacks in America. Now I hastily concede that far from that of the suicidal out-group mentality of Whites the focus of Jews is ruthlessly and relentlessly in-group. They are also hard-working and tenacious. (They are!). And this differential again equates to that applying between Whites and blacks - who are generally lazy and lacking in tenacity.
So yes, Jews are outmanoeuvring us, controlling us, using us. But is this not nature's way? Does not their control of the political, financial, academic and media arenas not equate to the control Whites exerted over their colonial subjects? It's no good saying that were enough Whites to realise what's going on the Jews' game would be up. The fact is only a tiny minority of Whites is in this category and that is our racial stupidity (yes!) and weakness. Our swallowing - hook, line and sinker - the bogus narrative they've cooked up for us equates to Rhodes buying the Kimberly diamond field for a handful of shiny beads.
A painful issue to confront, for sure. But am I - sadly - not correct?
