This TV has so much going for it. The price is reasonable. It has many features that I'm not surprised when I find something new. Everything is at your fingertips (remote). The picture is clear and crisp. 3D is better than expected. The 60 inch screen has spoiled me completely!

I Liked: Excellent Picture, Good Sound (once you set up correctly) and the what's on App. 5 stars on these items and why I recommend. I did not like: Cannot use shallow mount due to design of cabinet with speakers, Remote hard to use in dark (can't tell the "bumps" apart), Slow to access on screen remote at startup, Few analog Inputs, search app includes long list of paid movies. I can recommend for picture quality but overall features fall way short of my expectations.

Excellent Picture
By Evil Willas
from Chestermere, AB, Canada
Very clear and crisp picture. Plays everything I have and uses 5 GHz bandwidth for clear movie playback on the cloud. Super slim bezel looks nice and clear motion removes the jitters. Would never give up mine.
Great TV
By LisaCristan
from Pearland, TX, United States
I'm not too much of a tv person but this is no ordinary tv. It has everything !!! The wifi allows me to connect to my phone for music, movies and even videos. I love playing back videos of my grandchildren and they think they're on real tv. Priceless!!! The pictur is clear and no matter who's in my home the tv is the first thing they don't want to take their eyes off of. Now I only buy LG.
great pictued

i have had it for a few years and it has great sound picture and connects to internet so easy
Great Family TV
By WiseOldMan
from Milton, WI 53563, USA
This is a great TV for our family. I worried a high gloss screen would be too reflective, and it is to some extent, but we usually don't have bright lights behind us to see reflected in the screen. It's fast and responsive. The magic remote took a little learning because you shake it to get it started, but the learning was easy. I bought a second remote from LG both to use now so one is at both ends of the couch and have a spare if the original quits working. I wish LG would supply two remotes out of the box.
Great Picture and Great Tech involved
By Mo
from San Antonio, TX, USA
Great Picture and Great Tech involved. This LG TV is the best I had so far. I had another LG 42 60 HZ. I still have it and the kids are using it everyday for the last 6 years. Then I bought another LG TV, smart 3d 55 in, 120 Hz which I loved too much. Unfortunately, it was stolen in a burglary incident from my house with other items. I am calling that day "the black Friday" as it happened in one of Fridays last year. All the family felt sad about it and missed it so much. So we decided to buy something similar, but I thought to buy better qualities of LG. So we bought this Smart 3rd, 240 HZ, 60 in. The moving picture is in its best quality that I had not seen before.
very good tv

Great sound & Picture, streaming value at best avg
By JoeBnKY
from Louisville, KY, USA
The 2d & 3d pictures are awesome, the sound is very good for the price. Plenty of inputs. But it only has 1GB of RAM and crashes if you try to watch more than a couple of videos at one sitting; ie football or baseball highlight videos. The wireless connection has WEP64 bit security; what are we back in 1990's; WPA/WPA2 is much more secure. It also maitains your security settings which the current WEP drops all the time. It would be great if LG added a SOFTWARE Update that allowed owners to insert a flash drive in one of the USB ports to increase the memory storage. Downloads could be diverted to the flashdrive and played back from a screen menu. All downloads are deleted upon viewing, manual deletion or ending video replay function just like RAM. The remote is very easy to use.

I've updated this Meetup. For more details, see the full listing:
This is the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada - Vancouver monthly meeting for February 2013 and is shared with the general public at no charge.
Please take note of the special location for this lecture.
Location: Simon Fraser University, Room B9201 (*).
Date: THIS Thursday February 14, 7:30-9:00PM.
A members' night talk by
Howard Trottier
Immediate Past President, RASC Vancouver
Professor of Physics, SFU
Title: Starry Nights @ SFU: Five Years and Counting
Simon Fraser University has a long history of very active public science outreach, nearly dating back to its inception 50 years ago. The university's outreach efforts have expanded considerably over the past five years, thanks to two informal programs, Starry Nights @ SFU, and SFU Science in Action, which together have brought around 20,000 members of the public to campus for a wide variety of science programming, including hands-on workshops for grade-school age kids, and star parties and open houses for the general public. Integral to the astronomy outreach effort has been a vital partnership with the Vancouver Centre of the RASC. These efforts are set to go to an entirely new level, with SFU last month having formally approved two new facilities dedicated to public outreach and undergraduate teaching: an Astronomical Observatory and Science Courtyard, and a Studio for Innovative Science Education. These capital projects are fully funded by a private donor, with design and construction set to begin in March. In this talk I'll take a look back at the first five years of Starry Nights @ SFU, and its sister program SFU Science in Action, and look ahead to the exciting future of science outreach at SFU, with special emphasis on the astronomical possibilities for collaboration with RASC Vancouver.(*) For an annotated SFU campus map click here: Parking and the nearest bus stop are identified by black rectangles and a black circle respectively, the location of the lecture theatre is circled in red, and the location of the Moon watch is circled in blue.

I checked the coil and it is good. I replaced the ballast resistor and found the ignition module to be bad. I replaced it and the car ran for about 20 minutes and died. I believe the ignition module is out again. The car has been updated to an electronic ignition (by others).
What could be causing the ignition module to be failing?

Magic Johnson's Son Talks About His Coming Out Experience
E.J. Johnson spoke out during an interview on his coming out in the spotlight. "It was almost as if I was coming out of the closet…again."
1. The 20-year-old son of basketball great Magic Johnson is surprised by the recent public interest in his sexuality.
Earvin Johnson III, known as E.J., says he feels like he's coming out of the closet a second time and that he's "reveling" in the experience, even though news of his sexual orientation broke publicly sooner than he had planned.
2. In a YouTube interview with Howard Bragman he spoke out on the subject:
Howard Bragman: How did this all feel, and how was the initial response?
EJ: Umm, for me it was really surprising. I didn't think it would be THAT big of a deal since I'd been out to my family and friends for at least five years now. So I think it was almost as if I was coming out of the closet again […] reliving the experience has been both exciting and … interesting rather. I've been through it before, but just to have the media and everyone involved has been a completely different experience. But I'm reveling in it. I'm enjoying the experience.
3. His response to the negative comments he has received:
4. On the support from his family:
Johnson said he first came out to his mother, who approached him when he was 13 or 14. Here he is pictured (left) with his mother, Cookie Johnson, at the Seventh Annual Dream Halloween To Benefit Children Affected By AIDS Foundation event on October 28, 2000.
5. On his future:
I would love to become my own personality […]really be a voice for the generation. As well as the voice for young gay people who need someone to be on TV or wherever else to talk to them and talk about all kinds of issues that all of us face and not just homosexual issues but all kinds of issues […] I definitely want to set a really good example.

Welcome to The Pulse, the place to find out what the sports world is thinking. Every day on ESPN.com, SportsNation registers its opinion on a wide range of topics by casting votes and chatting with experts in The Show. We collect the daily highlights and put them in The Pulse.
Story of the Day: Winter Olympics
Team USA has had a wildly inconsistent showing at the Winter Olympics in Torino and it's safe to say that American fans are disappointed.
A full 58 percent of SportsNation voters consider the U.S. performance mediocre and nearly 17 percent went as far as saying it was embarrassing. Much-hyped but medal-less skier Bode Miller is by far the biggest culprit in the eyes of the 'Nation, getting better than 78 percent of the vote for the most disappointing performance.
The men's and women's ice hockey teams finished second behind Miller in that poll, and perhaps SportsNation explained the men's lack of energy very succinctly when 85 percent of voters said the Stanley Cup is more meaningful than an Olympic gold medal.
Snowboarding turned into a surprising success for the Americans and 42 percent of respondents said he had the best gold-medal performance for the U.S, but other athletes who fared well didn't get much love. Despite Sasha Cohen leading the ladies figure skating competition heading into the free skate, more than 75 percent of respondents said they did not watch the finals.
In the end, only 37 percent of SportsNation had an insatiable hunger for the Winter Olympics and Team USA's struggles had a lot to do with that. But fear not, Nation citizens, because the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing are right around the corner!

My goodness, everybody is so negative. I am proud of all of the Olympic athletes who got medals, especially men's curling, who came from nowhere. A silver or a bronze medal is nothing to be ashamed of, simply making the Olympics is ridiculous (in a good way).

Studs: Aerial skiers. I can imagine myself at least trying most Olympic sports. When I imagine myself even going off one of those aerial ramps, intense pain and permanent disfigurement generally factor in prominently. Honestly, I think they should all get perfect scores just for landing alive.

Proto(NJ): Would the U.S. hockey team have done any better with Ryan Miller in net?
Barry Melrose: I don't think you can say they would have definitely won a medal with Miller. The goaltending wasn't the big problem. He deserved to be there but I don't think he was going to win them a medal all by himself.
John (Syracuse): How embarrassed should the Canadian squad be coming home without a medal?
Barry Melrose: They should be devastated. This is the most embarrassing showing ever for a Canadian team in international hockey. This is just a disaster. There is no sugarcoating it. Getting shutout three times with that lineup? A joke.
John (Syracuse): Why do you think the Finns and the Swedes were more prepared for the Olympics than the Americans and Canadians?
Barry Melrose: First of all, I don't think there's a talent disparity there. Those teams have great players and good goaltending, they just executed and played better as a team. The Americans and Canadians just never made the plays when they had to. Star players didn't step up and make plays when they were needed, particularly on special teams, but the Russians, Swedes and Finns did. That's the difference.

By becoming a member of NHWWA today
you'll have the opportunity to improve your
municipal water supply service tomorrow.
NH Public Television Documentary – Our Amazing Opportunity
Dear NHWWA Member:
As public water suppliers we often struggle with lackluster public perception toward our industry. O.K., in light of the recent and on-going fiasco in Flint, Michigan, some might even downgrade lackluster to negative in the minds of some of our customers. Heaven knows we've tried to improve our standing with a public that often takes for granted our dedication to providing clean and ample water to our customers – 24/7. We do reach out in many ways – including CCR's, our annual Trade Show, our annual Drinking Water Week Festival, and many other outreach efforts. And yet, despite the tireless work and dedication of all of us in this noble industry, we still fall short in the eyes of much of the public.
Now we have an amazing opportunity to improve our public perception by working with and supporting New Hampshire Public Television's proposed multi-platform initiative, designed to educate and enlighten residents about the history, infrastructure, challenges and solutions to keeping the Granite State's drinking water safe for human consumption. NHPTV plans a 30 minute documentary around water issues (with a stakeholder brainstorming meeting to help NHPTV craft the messaging for NH consumers – all sponsors will be asked to attend). In addition, a series of 1-minute "interstitials" –somewhat like mini information tips will air on the station. Finally, there will be an education outreach component in schools across NH.
NHWWA has dedicated a sponsorship donation of $1,000 for this groundbreaking project. Our Board of Directors believes that this is an amazing opportunity – maybe even a once in a generation opportunity. We challenge all members to match that $1,000 level, or support this most timely and important project with a larger donation. Of course all donations and all amounts are welcome. The time is now – there is much interest across the industry to showcase what we do, how we do it, why we do it.
We think about it, we talk about it, come on – let's do it!! Please join us in further educating our customers, consumers, students, and children about OUR MOST VALUABLE RESOURCE!
The manager of the project at NHPTV is Bryn Burns. She can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 603-868-4395, or contact Charity Ross at email@example.com or 603-415-3959.
Charity Ross Appointed as New Hampshire Water Works Association's New Executive Director
The New Hampshire Water Works Association (NHWWA) Board of Directors is pleased to announce the appointment of Charity Ross as its new executive director. Charity will officially begin serving as executive director on April 11, 2016, replacing long time and current executive director Steve Del Deo. Charity and Steve will work together for several weeks to facilitate a smooth transition.
Charity is a Concord, NH native who has been employed in the Washington, DC area for the past 5 years. She is leaving her current position in human resources at Host Hotels and Resorts in Bethesda, MD where she has been developing and managing training programs, including the company's wellness program.
Between 2004 and 2010, Charity served as Director of Communications and Marketing for the Greater Manchester/Nashua Board of Realtors, where she developed social media platforms, managed the design and content of newsletters, and website content, and created the Board's first e-news. She also coordinated details for membership meetings, banquets and special events with specific attention to fundraising efforts.
In the early 2000's, Charity was a legislative assistant for the New Hampshire House of Representatives. She conducted legislative research, responded to constituent requests, and attended legislative hearings. She was also a member of the Disabilities Access and Voting Systems Task Force enacted by the Help America Vote Act of 2002. Charity was instrumental in the passage of House Bill 1188 (2006) which strengthened the privacy rights of condominium owners.
Charity holds a BA degree in English Journalism and Communications with a Spanish minor from the University of New Hampshire, and a certificate in Small Business Management from the New Hampshire Institute of Technology. In 2014 she achieved faculty status with the Wellness Council of America (WELCOA).
Charity's educational background, work experience, and skillset, along with her enthusiasm will be instrumental in moving NHWWA in new directions and ensuring its vitality and success for many years to come.
In Charity's first communication to Steve Del Deo as she applied for the position, she wrote "Lastly, the opportunity to work for the New Hampshire Water Works Association would be a great honor, not just for me, but also my grandfather who worked for the Water Treatment Plant in Concord for 23 years. I have fond memories of touring the treatment plant, testing our own water at home, and learning the importance of water quality. I have an untapped passion to improve New Hampshire's public water supply from having grown up with a respect, and affinity, towards quality water." – Welcome aboard Charity!
The New Hampshire Water Works Association (NHWWA) is a nonprofit professional organization with a membership consisting of municipal water systems, community-type water systems, investor owned water utilities, water works equipment and materials manufacturers and suppliers, engineers, consultants and government regulators and others.

Vol. 144, No. 50 — December 11, 2010
Statutory authority
Immigration and Refugee Protection Act
Sponsoring department
Department of Citizenship and Immigration
(This statement is not part of the Regulations.)
Executive summary
Issue: Under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (Regulations), federal skilled worker (FSW), Canadian experience class (CEC), and investor, self-employed and entrepreneur class applicants must support their claimed official language proficiency by either submitting the results of a designated third-party language test (considered conclusive evidence), or by providing "other evidence in writing." The option to provide other written evidence was originally intended for use by a minority of applicants with evident high proficiency, but in practice has been widely used by those whose proficiency can only reliably be assessed through objective language testing. At some visa offices abroad, 50%–100% of written submissions are ultimately deemed insufficient evidence for the assessment of language proficiency, resulting in substantial delays, processing inefficiencies, and higher rates of refusal than would be the case if conclusive evidence had been submitted with the application. The evaluation of written submissions by visa officers, who are not language experts, has overall introduced subjectivity, unreliability and inefficiency into the assessment of immigrant applications.
Description: An amendment is proposed to remove reference to the option to provide other written evidence from subsection 79(1) and paragraph 87.1(2)(b) of the Regulations. The amendment would have the effect of requiring all FSW and CEC principal applicants to submit a valid test result from a designated third-party language testing agency with their application. The amendment would also require the same from business immigrants (the investor, self-employed and entrepreneur classes), as they are currently required to comply with section 79 of the Regulations as stipulated under paragraph 102(1)(c).
Cost-benefit statement: The proposed regulatory amendment would benefit applicants through increased transparency and enhanced reliability in the assessment of their immigrant applications. The measure would also improve and streamline the processing of applications, leading to shortened wait times. The Department of Citizenship and Immigration (CIC) would further benefit from processing efficiencies from the mandatory test through streamlined determination of eligibility for processing, and through substantial efficiencies in assessing applications during the visa office processing stage.
Business and consumer impacts: Due to widespread inadequacies in the majority of written submissions, most applicants who initially submitted written evidence were eventually required to submit a valid language test result in order to be assessed for language proficiency under the requirements of the programs. As a result, the proposed regulatory amendment would principally impact future applicants whose proficiency in one of Canada's official languages could have been satisfactorily demonstrated using other evidence in writing. Those applicants would instead be required to undertake the test (estimated to be at most 17% of FSW and CEC applicants).
The Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (Regulations) state that federal skilled worker (FSW), Canadian experience class (CEC), and investor, self-employed and entrepreneur class principal applicants must demonstrate their language proficiency either by submitting the results of a designated third-party language test or by providing other evidence in writing.
The option to provide other evidence in writing was originally intended only for those whose proficiency in an official language of Canada is patently evident. In practice, the option has been widely used by applicants whose proficiency is not patently evident. In some visa offices abroad, between 50% and 100% of applications are supported by written submissions provided by non-native English or French speakers, whose true proficiency cannot be estimated based on the written evidence provided. In all such cases, the proficiency of the applicant could more reliably be assessed by an independent language testing organization. Even for those with high proficiency in English or French as native speakers, or as a result of their language of education, written submissions have proven unreliable in quality and in outcome, given that they must be assessed by visa officers who are not language specialists.
Overall, the option to provide written submissions has introduced significant challenges in administering the FSW and CEC programs, including subjective and unreliable self- and visa officer assessment, litigation which could otherwise be avoided through the use of objective tests, substantial processing delays and inefficiencies, and difficulties in the identification of fraud and in verifying the authorship of the submission. It is not uncommon for visa offices to receive several written submissions that are substantially the same in content and wording, with only the personal details altered by each applicant. Unlike designated language testing, written submissions do not allow for the reliable assessment of speaking, listening and reading proficiencies.
The objective of the regulatory proposal is to enhance the reliability, transparency and efficiency with which language requirements are assessed during the processing of FSW, CEC and Business Immigrant applications. Mandatory language testing would support the goals of the immigration program through the selection of economic class applicants who have been more reliably assessed for their proficiency in one or both of Canada's official languages. It would also support timely decision-making on the eligibility of applications, and result in faster processing of applications through expedited assessment at the visa office processing stage.
The Regulations would be amended as follows:
- Paragraph 79(1)(b) would be repealed to remove the option to provide other evidence in writing; and
- All references to the option to provide other evidence in writing in paragraph 87.1(2)(b) would be removed through the deletion of "or have provided other evidence in writing of their proficiency in either language," from the paragraph.
Two technical amendments to the Regulations are proposed as follows:
- The marginal note to subsection 79(1) would be amended to delete an incorrect reference to the points to be awarded (20), and revised to more accurately reflect the content of the provision (official language proficiency); and
- The correct total number of points to be awarded (24) would be moved to the marginal note of subsection 79(2), where the awarding of points is outlined in the provision.
Regulatory and non-regulatory options considered
In light of the challenges outlined above, in 2008, the Department proceeded with pre-publication of a regulatory amendment (Canada Gazette, Part I, Vol. 142, No. 16, April 19, 2008) to eliminate paragraph 79(1)(b) of the Regulations, effectively making mandatory the requirement to provide the results of a test from a designated language testing agency.
The 2008 regulatory proposal was substantively the same as the present proposal, and elicited two submissions from public stakeholders; one broadly supportive of the mandatory requirement, the other opposing. The concern of the opposing stakeholder emphasized the lack of a provision for exempting native English and French speaking applicants (especially nationals of countries such as the United States, United Kingdom or France).
In response, the Department suspended the regulatory proposal while it further examined the issue of whether exemptions would have merit, and if so, on what basis an exemption could be granted. The result of that analysis was that although the provision of an exemption may have merit, the wide range of criteria examined for eligibility for an exemption (including, but not limited to, country of citizenship, self-reported mother tongue, language of education, literacy rates, country of birth, country of residence) were all considered unreliable proxies for proficiency in an official language of Canada. Furthermore, in all such cases, proficiency would be assumed rather than evidenced, the latter currently being required by the Regulations. The various exemption options considered, including those in use by other immigrant-receiving nations, were deemed impracticable in the Canadian context, including in relation to equality rights as provided for in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and could also undermine the transparency and consistency goals of our immigration program.
Due to these concerns, non-regulatory options were instituted while the Department prepared to proceed with a second regulatory proposal. In April 2010, CIC utilized existing authority under the Regulations to instruct applicants to submit either written evidence or the results of an approved test at the time of application, encouraging them to choose the latter option (as the only evidence deemed conclusive in the Regulations). Under this policy, applicants who opted to submit written evidence would not be permitted to submit subsequent test evidence as proof of language proficiency once the application has entered processing. This was intended to alleviate the significant effort that went into assessing written submissions, which had high rates of rejection and resulted in further processing delays while the applicant was given the opportunity to submit conclusive evidence in the form of a test result. It was also intended to encourage a greater number of applicants to submit test results in the first instance, as the preferred and conclusive means for assessing the language requirement.
However, in order to obtain the efficiencies needed to deliver timely decisions on application eligibility, and to ensure reliable and transparent final selection decisions for all, the Department recognized the need to make the designated language testing option mandatory. On June 26, 2010, the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism used his authority under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) to issue Ministerial Instructions, which included a processing directive requiring FSW and CEC applicants to submit a valid language test result at the time of their application for permanent residence in Canada in order for their application to be eligible for processing. That instruction applies to all applications received from June 26, 2010, onward. The Department is now proposing a regulatory amendment consistent with that processing directive, to reflect the permanent direction the Department has taken toward mandatory language testing in support of language proficiency assessments.
Benefits and costs
Applicants benefit from language testing by knowing in advance of applying how their language proficiency will be assessed; FSW applicants can determine in advance how many points they are likely to be awarded for language, while CEC applicants can determine whether or not they are likely to pass or fail based on the established language thresholds of that program. Benefits to the wider community of clients include; increased transparency and fairness in selection decisions, improved and streamlined processing of applications, and improved eligibility and visa office processing stages. Timelier decision-making is a key commitment of the Action Plan for Faster Immigration and of ongoing concern to immigration applicants and their representatives.
The benefits to the Department include more reliable and defensible assessments of language proficiency, simplified fraud detection and improved program integrity, substantial processing efficiencies for visa offices and reduced application processing times, decreased administrative costs (due to reduced clerical and file retention costs), and improved confidence that economic class immigration supports program goals.
The cost to clients of the proposed regulatory action is limited to the time and cost of taking the language test. For most applicants, this would require one day and approximately $200–$300, as well as preparatory time, which would vary according to the applicant's official language proficiency and their goals for taking the test. Most clients would bear these costs equally but some clients may need to travel long distances to take the test, incurring transportation and/or hospitality costs. Others may need to take unpaid time from work or arrange care for their dependents in order to take the test.
The cost to the Government of Canada of the proposed action is limited to costs associated with updating references to the relevant Regulations in operational memoranda, training manuals and application forms.
Evidence of language proficiency is used by visa officers to assess the number of points an applicant should receive for language proficiency (for FSW), or to assess whether an applicant passes or fails based on an established language threshold (for CEC). The evidence provided by applicants is central in supporting immigration decisions. From the applicant's perspective, it is essential that there be as much consistency and reliability as possible in making decisions that affect whether or not their application for permanent residence is accepted or refused. From an administrative perspective it is important that such decisions be clearly evidenced and defensible, and that operational efficiencies be pursued wherever possible and reasonable.
When the Regulations were drafted and subsequently published in 2002, it was envisioned by the Department of Citizenship and Immigration that the vast majority of applicants should demonstrate their official language proficiency with an assessment from a designated language-testing organization or institution. In the years following implementation of the IRPA regime, it became clear that voluntary uptake of the standardized test was significantly lower than anticipated. The outcome was a vastly greater caseload of applications requiring assessment of written submissions than was intended when the IRPA regime was implemented and resourced. For visa officers, the assessment of written evidence requires time-consuming analysis of supporting documents whose content is difficult to reliably assess and verify. Overall, the quality of the majority of written submissions is insufficient to satisfy visa officers that the claimed language proficiency was evidenced. Substantial and ongoing processing inefficiencies, subjectivities, and inconsistencies in approach were the outcome.
Objective language testing represents the option with the least risk for applicants and for administrators in ensuring that applications are processed fairly, promptly, and consistently. Mandatory language testing under the current regulatory proposal is consistent with the goals of the legislative framework, emphasizing transparency and economic success. It also supports the goals of the Action Plan for Faster Immigration by providing a reliable means for eligibility pre-screening, and in reducing wait times for applications to be processed. More broadly, mandatory language testing supports the goals of the immigration program through the selection of immigrants who are more reliably assessed for the skills needed to successfully establish themselves in Canada.
The previous proposal to amend the Regulations elicited two submissions, one broadly supportive of the mandatory requirement, the other opposing. Those submissions were thoroughly considered, and in particular, concerns over the need for exemptions from the mandatory requirement were fully explored. Departmental officials have communicated the policy direction of mandatory language testing to stakeholders informally, and formally communicated to organizations representing immigration lawyers and representatives the Department's decision to only assess the evidence provided at time of application, when that directive took effect in April 2010.
CIC has ensured that FSW and CEC applicants are aware of the mandatory language testing processing requirement under Ministerial Instructions published in June 2010, and the processing requirement is outlined in relevant program manuals, application forms and applicant guides.
Implementation, enforcement and service standards
The underlying procedural change (mandatory language testing, with results submitted at time of application) was recently implemented under updated Ministerial Instructions published in the Canada Gazette on June 26, 2010 (Canada Gazette, Part I, Vol. 144, No. 26).
These instructions require that all FSW and CEC principal applicants submit a valid official language test at the time of their application. As such, for these categories of applicants, the proposed Regulations have already been implemented by other authoritative means. The regulatory proposal would extend this requirement to all categories of immigrants who now refer to subsection 79(1) of the Regulations for procedures relating to demonstrating language proficiency. As such, the regulatory proposal would also implement this requirement for Business Immigrants who formerly had maintained the option to provide other evidence in writing under the Regulations.
The requirement to submit a valid test result at the time of application is enforced during eligibility determination, before applications proceed into processing. In other words, applications under the affected categories that are not accompanied by a valid test result at the time of application are determined to be ineli-gible for processing, and are returned with the fee to the applicant.
The Regulations, at section 79 and paragraph 87.1(2)(b), stipulate that language proficiency must be assessed by designated organizations or institutions. An external panel of experts is consulted to review applications for designation and to provide a recommendation to the Department on whether or not the test and the agency meet the requirements for designation. In order to be designated, a testing organization is evaluated on criteria including test availability (geographically, and in terms of frequency of administration), reliability and consistency, security and integrity, appropriateness (the test measures the four skill areas of reading, writing, listening and speaking), and ability to be correlated to the Canadian Language Benchmarks. Once designated, CIC works with testing agencies to address concerns relating to demand and availability, and to ensure that the costs associated with the requirement are reasonable in the context of other requirements of the programs.

Located in historic downtown Rutherfordton, the 1925 City Hall and Firehouse has been entirely renovated, and now offers European elegance and urban atmosphere in a friendly, relaxed setting. The Firehouse Inn is located in the 1925 City Hall and Fire Department building in Rutherfordton, North Carolina. The building was one of three major public buildings erected in the town in the 1920's and early 1930's. It is a richly-designed Colonial Revival-style brick building with stone/cast stone enrichments.

We enjoyed our stay immensely. The loft was such a hit with the young ones we had with us. They have already asked to return! The Inn is beautiful and the attention to detail was very nice. Breakfast and its presentation was good and the innkeeper very friendly. This is our second visit and we love the Inn and continue to be impressed.

A historic firehouse built in the 1920's and redesigned for living in luxury, the inside common area is huge with multiple sofas, tables, chairs, fireplace and a grand piano. Plus there is a lovely private outside courtyard. The co-owner of this fabulous inn, Kitty, allowed our 70 pound dog to stay with us, too (he stayed in our suite during breakfast). The hot breakfast was served at 8:30am daily, was different every day and was always absolutely delicious. We stayed in room 1, the Firehouse Suite, with a king size bed, love seat, private fireplace, jetted tub, 2 bathroom sinks, super shower with 2 shower heads, walk-in closet with ironing board, plush robes with slippers, free wifi and more. The only disadvantage was everything is on the second floor, so you need to walk up a flight of stairs. We will definitely be staying at this wonderful inn again in the future. It was GREAT!

My husband and I spent our Wedding Night in the Firehouse Suite (June 4th, 2016)! It was the perfect jumping off point for our honeymoon. The suite was perfect, the atmosphere was perfect, breakfast was perfect, our fellow inn guests were perfect, Sandy was a perfect hostess! We will be coming back next year for our anniversary! See you then Firehouse Inn! - Melissa & Brian Vaughan

Just came back from our 4th stay at the Firehouse Inn. We love this place. I am not really a "bed and breakfast" person but this place is different. I almost don't want to publish such a high rating because they are already full most of the time. But if you get a chance to stay there - do it!
Innkeeper Response

Room was lovely, service was great. My only criticism would be the breakfast; it was mediocre.

Conveniently located, historic building with beautifully decorated and very comfortable accommodations. The room was very comfortable with perfect bed and plush towels. Breakfast was delicious served in a nicely restored hall. Location was walking distance to interesting shops, brewery, biking trail and good choices in restaurants. We have highly recommended it as we have continued our travels.

In Sept. 2011 I was diagnosed with NSCLC. Surgery was not an option since it had spread - Stage 4. The doctor told me I had a year to live. I started on Xalkori in Oct. 2011. The side effects are uncomfortable but manageable. My last PET scan (April 2012) showed no active cancer. The doctor says I am not cured, so I will continue the chemo drug. He has retracted his prognosis, telling me no promises but maybe 5 years. The side effects are diarrhea, acid reflux, and vision problems (only going from dark to light). The drug works.
You are taking Xalkori and having chemo?
