Further cementing their long-standing reputation as stewards of quality in pro audio journalism, Tape Op recently ran a flattering review of our Eris Monitors, which, coincidentally enough, are now in stores. Doublethanks to Eli Crews for the kind words.
A few of those words follow: "I found both of these monitor models very useful tools for the imperfect art of home-studio mixing… if you were to put them up in a very controlled environment, next to speakers you paid a bunch of money for, you would probably find things here and there about them you didn't like – although you may be surprised. Setting them up in my humble (yet effective) home studio for a few months helped me hear things I wasn't hearing previously and helped me to provide better mixes for my clients. At the end of the day, that matters much more than the price tag of the speaker or the label on the front. Job well done, PreSonus."

Parents are always proud of their children, even the ones who have ornery rugrats who mark up the walls with crayon. We treat pro audio product development a lot like parenthood. Our gear is shaped by our experiences, and we instill in our offspring the virtues we hold dearest. It's a labor of love. And of course, the fateful day must arrive when a product matures, is all grown up, and is released into the world—hopefully to live out the values shaped by our guiding, if solder-burned, hands.
However, that's pretty much where the similarities end. If you ask a parent who their favorite child is, the universal standard answer is that the parent in question loves all their children the same.
Not so with us. The ADL 700 Tube Channel Strip is far and away our best, most favorite child, and now that it's graduated from LSU and made it's way into the world, it has started to reap the recognition we—and plenty of others—feel it deserves.
Some gems follow. Click the publication names to link to the full review, where available.
The ADL 700 is available via our Signature Dealers. Click here for a list of where to find the ADL 700 in the USA. If you live outside the USA, please contact the official PreSonus distributor in your area to find out where you can hear/obtain the ADL 700 for yourself.

This pic is snapped from the back of 1963's "Dave Brubeck Live at Carnegie Hall." Tape splicing to edit a performance may seem downright quaint by today's standards, but this raises a great discussion.
What would Teo Macero say about today's editing practices in music?
And when it comes to editing a performance, where do you draw the line—if at all? What will you NOT do?
PreSonus LIVE Airs Today! 2 p.m. CST / 3 p.m. EST / Noon PST / 19:00 GMT
Join PreSonus Technology Evangelist Justin Spence as he takes you on a guided tour of the StudioLive 16.0.2!
The 16.0.2 packs a lot of mixing power into a very portable package. Tune in to learn some of its innermost secrets.
Sonic Sense Pro Audio just posted this first-look (first-listen?) video of the Sceptre S8 CoActual monitors. They compared the Sceptre S8 ($749, each) to the much more expensive Genelec 8050A ($2195, each) and the Adam A7x ($699, each) monitors. All monitors involved in the shootout were cautiously miked and measured, and detailed frequency response and phase charts are presented for each.
Sonic Sense is very thorough, which I suppose makes for the "Sense" part of "Sonic Sense."
Click through to the Sonic Sense blog post here to get their full review, but in the meantime here's a snippet:
"As promised, the sound quality truly does stand up well beside high-end monitors that have become "household" names in the studio world including ADAM, Genelec, JBL, and Neumann."
The kind folks at American Musical Supply just announced their incredible PreSonus giveaway, including a whopper of a $5,129 prize package that includes:
It's easy to enter, just click here and fill out their form! This is an incredible chance to get a whole lotta stuff with minimal effort, which is always a popular proposition.
[This just in from Scott Szeryk!]
We multi-tracked the entire show via the Studio Live 24.4.2 into Capture. Great care was taken on ensure that the instrument sources all sounded top notch (drums, bass, guitar, keys) and appropriate mics and DIs were used to capture the sounds of the instruments.
Drum mics were as follows:
For post-production (mixing and mastering) we used Studio One, and things were kept pretty simple as the performances and sounds were good at the source. I'm not a "fix it in the mix" type of engineer, so the sounds have to be great to begin with. Also we didn't use any drum samples whatsoever. The drums sounded great and basic EQing (cut some of the boxey mids) and slight compression (just a hint, 2:1 with slow attack to keep the bass response) were used on the drums, and that's it. Guitars were plugged straight into the Fractal AXE FX2, bass and keys ran DI. The XMAX preamps on the StudioLive are so good that it helped the mix come together pretty quick!

I am using one of the stocking builds from the net. The build calls for 8 Pseudotropheus johannii and 10 labidochromis caeruleus. Eventually I want to overstock. What would be another fish I can add to this setup? I am interested in colorful fish.... yellows, blues, reds....

[PHOTO] SDB: Jewel Baby | Mon, 19 Apr 1999 19:13:41" />
Say hello to JEWEL BABY (Earl Hall, 1984) - fragrant dark violet rebloomer.
This is the third bearded iris to bloom for me this spring.
Notice the 4-bearded flower in the background. It has 4-falls, 3-styles,
and 2-stands. The other flower in front is normal with 3 of everything.
I am impressed with the dark, almost black, color...and the sheen which is
clearly evident in the photo. It smells good too. Yummy!

Once again, the time is fast approaching for the latest of 'net-inspired "holidays". Yes, June 26 is officially "KOOKS' DAY" or, as they call it in Canada, "All Kooks' Day."
KOOK (n.) a person regarded as silly, eccentric, crazy, etc.
The holiday is inspired by, and celebrated on the date of the death of, Earl Curley – self-proclaimed psychic, 'net rabble-rouser, and a man whose biggest claim to fame was being sued by uberskeptic James Randi.
It was started a year to the date of Curley's death by 'net users who, ah, missed his unique brand of kookiness and wanted to honor (?) his "contributions" to the field.
Ironically, while the Internet has raised the level of infamy a kook can reach globally, it has also been instrumental in lowering the bar of kookdom in general.
Once upon a time, one had to be truly kooky to earn – yes, earn! – the title of Kook. It used to be, in most families, that eccentric uncle who was considered a kook. Nowadays, in this 'net "family", everybody *and* their mother might be labeled a kook.
Case in point, one person currently posting heavily to Usenet newsgroups who many call "kook" is, in reality, little more than an astrologer with very poor social skills and a bad temper.
Other mislabeled "kooks":
The overmedicated. The under medicated. Speed freaks. Neat freaks. Ultra-right wingers. Hippified tree-huggers. The mildly depressed. The sexually repressed. Headbangers. Racist ballplayers. Sex chat room men – and the women who love them. News junkies. Regular junkies. Third-party candidates and their political flunkies. Those who go on faith. Uberskeptics with no faith in their fellow man. Huffers. Tweakers. Guys wearing oversized pants and unlaced sneakers. The paranoid. The unfriendly. Anyone at a karaoke bar performing a Neil Diamond medley.
Then again, perhaps it's just me.
My first 'kook' was such classic kookdom that, maybe, he ruined it for all of those who followed.
You be the judge.
(Warning: Due to content the following might be objectionable to some. Please, if offended by sexual overtones, *skip* this account.)
Some 15-odd years ago, while waiting to board a Greyhound bus at 2AM, I looked up to see a peculiar sight.
An old, slightly balding man with two days' worth of stubble pacing back and forth. He wore faded jeans covered with red markered phrases written down his pant legs. "Democrats are Communists", "Reagan was Right" and "Jesus is Coming – Are You Ready?" leapt from his legs. He carried a large white box under his arm.
As the terminal loudspeaker that announced my bus was boarding, I must have been vibing like a kook magnet because this man made a beeline towards me.
"This your bus?" he asked.
When I answered in the affirmative, he said, "Mine too! You mind helping me?" and pointed to a second box a few feet away.
I had no luggage. I had gotten a cheap, visceral thrill from his pants. So I helped him with the other box.
On board, the man stuffed his boxes overhead and then sat down next to me. As the bus began its journey into night, he said, "Do you like my pants? My name is Hugh Clayton, but I'm sometimes known as 'Chickenman'."
The nickname should've been a big clue as to what would follow, but I was still young and oh-so naive.
As the bus drove on, 'Chickenman' explained his mission. He had one thousand copies of a many-paged manifesto, which he was taking to Washington DC to give to as many Republican congressional members as he could.
He didn't plan to give any to the Democrats, calling them, "a collection of liberal degenerates, militant homosexuals, slobs, bums, traitors and worthless bureaucrats." He added, "They should all be executed if you ask me."
"Aren't you being a little rough?" I asked.
"No, not at all," he exclaimed, "Give them even one inch and they'll run right over you. See, you're young but I've been around. I'm 52 years old. I was once a psychologist. I graduated from Harvard."
As the road went on, 'Chickenman' railed against smokers, social drinkers, overeaters, those who watch "low grade TV" and people who don't wash often enough.
He spoke of the younger generation who, in his experience, was a collection of "dense blockheads" and "base idiots". People with no brains who, in his words, "have no business throwing their half-witted anomalies in society's face" by reproducing.
After over an hour of his monologue, Clayton got uncharacteristically quiet for a few minutes.
He then leaned over and whispered, in an almost conspiratorial tone, "Want me to feel your cock?"
"No," I replied, "I'm a bit tired from traveling and think I'd rather try to sleep a bit."
Yeah, like I'd be caught sleeping on the bus at that point.
Becoming a bit flustered, he stammered something about how he thought that was a good idea himself, so 'Chickenman' quickly got up and moved down the aisle, finally reseating himself some seven rows back.
Later, as the bus pulled into the next city, I felt a hand on my shoulder.
I looked up to see 'Chickenman' standing there.
He thrust a thick, red book at me.
"I want you to have this book," he said. As I took it in my hand, he quickly turned around and went back to his seat.
I peered more closely at the worn book he had given me.
It was, evidently, his personal a copy of Hitler's "Mein Kampf".
Fully annotated and highlighted throughout by 'Chickenman' himself, with plenty of hand written notes in the page margins.
That was the last I heard from Hugh "Chickenman" Clayton. Gone, but not forgotten, as I don my tin-foil hat and remember him on this, the most special of days, "Kooks' Day" – June 26th.
So, I hope you'll join me and celebrate by getting a little crazy!Powered by Sidelines

A LITTLE girl on holidays threw a message in a bottle into the sea.
When the bottle left her hands at the end Bournemouth Pier in southern England, she hoped it would reach her aunt who lives on the island of Gernsey in the middle of the English channel.
Days, then weeks, then months went past and Jasmine Hudson heard nothing. She thought the bottle must have been eaten by a shark.
And then one day a letter arrived in her post box. It came from Largs Bay in South Australia.
After five months at sea the message in a bottle had finally hit land. It had travelled more than 16,000 kilometres.
It was picked up by Barbara Richards as she walked along the beach collecting shells with her brother.
She took the bottle home and jumped onto Google. After confirming that the address in the bottle was indeed real, Barbara wrote Jasmine this message.
"Dear Jasmine, As fate would have it we have been introduced to each other by your message in a bottle, Bournemouth Pier looks very interesting.
I searched online on the computer to find out what I could, yes the pier exists and yes your address was there too.
Your message in a bottle took five months to float up on Largs Bay Beach in South Australia.
My name is Barbara. My brother Colin and I were walking along the beach for some exercise collecting shells and reminiscing about our childhood when I saw your little bottle.
I scooped it up and we drove home with it where we opened it. I must share with you that I was so excited to find a message in a bottle.
I hope my note finds you well and brings you joy to know it has landed safely into my hands on the 13th of September 2012.
If you would like to communicate I am also on Facebook or just write and let me know you received my note. Until then I wish you well, stay safe.
Yours Truly Barbara Richards "
Jasmine's mother Louise warned her daughter not to get her hopes up. She feared her little girl would be bitterly disappointed. She thought the bottle would never really return.
"Jasmine's grandparents had bought her a message in a bottle kit when they went on holiday as a present," Mrs Hudson told the Daily Mail.
"It's supposed to be a bit of a novelty, but we were going on holiday to Bournemouth, so we thought we'd fill it in and take it along.
"Jasmine's aunt lives in Guernsey, so we said we'd see if we could get the bottle to float a few miles across the channel.
"Never in our wildest dreams did we ever think it would get all the way to Australia."
It did. And Jasmine and Barbara are now in contact via Facebook. Letters in bottles take far too long to reach Australia.

Red Thread
"Lure/Wave, Grand Rapids (Lure/Forest)"
ArtPrize 2010, Grand Rapids, Michigan
Beili Liu, Third Place = $50,000
Inspired by the ancient Chinese legend of the red thread "when children are born, invisible red threads connect them to the ones whom they are fated to be with. Over the years of their lives they come closer and eventually find each other, overcoming the distance between, and cultural and social divides. A disk may be connected to another, as a "couple", and each pair is made from a single thread. Every coil is pierced in the center by a sewing needle."

Ironic justice is being served in this year's Virginia governor's race as anti-gay Republican candidate Jerry Kilgore finds himself on the receiving end of a damaging rumor inferring that he is secretly gay. Kilgore, who is married with two children, would seem an unlikely target for this treatment, unless you'd actually heard him speak. Based solely on hearing his effeminate voice, one would imagine Kilgore to be a cross between Jim J. Bullock and Paul Lynde.
Apparently Kilgore's voice is so stereotypically gay-sounding that this rumor is not being dispelled even by his website's proud boast that he is vehemently opposed to both gay unions and gay adoption. Presumably Kilgore feels that if a gay man wants to have children, he should marry a beard and squeeze out a couple of drops under duress.
I'd feel bad for Kilgore if not for two things. The first is that Republican George Allen successfully used a similar anti-gay smear campaign against his opponent Mary Sue Terry in his 1993 campaign for Virginia Governor. So payback is in order here. The second reason not to feel bad for Kilgore is the ridiculously distasteful series of television commercials he has employed against his Democratic opponent Tim Kaine. The subject of these commercials is Kaine's opposition to the death penalty. In these spots, relatives of murder victims imply that Kaine killed their family members. In one commercial, a family member notes that Kaine would not have supported the execution of Adolph Hitler (as if Hitler plans to move to Richmond when Kaine is elected.)
While I don't condone gay-baiting, I do find it entertaining to see a typical gay-bashing Republican like Kilgore being destroyed by the lies, stereotypes, and hatred against gays that he and his party have fostered for political gain. It reminds me of Melvin Van Peebles' great 1970 film Watermelon Man in which a racist wakes up one morning to find out that overnight he's become a black man. Hopefully, like Godfrey Cambridge in that film, Kilgore will learn what it's like to walk in somebody else's loafers. Somehow I doubt it. But I am confident that this campaign will be fertile material for future historians trying to document the decline of civilization into a new dark age. That's something positive at least.

Emergency Mayhem – Wii
Emergency Mayhem strikes an amazing resemblance to Sega's Crazy Taxi in the arcades and then on the Dreamcast and PlayStation, so is Codemaster's offering a poor man's alternative or does it build on the game? We get playing to find out.
Replacing taxi fares for fire hoses and handcuffs, like Crazy Taxi, the premise for Emergency Mayhem is simple: you play as either a police van, fire truck or ambulance driving around a town completing a series of tasks before your time runs out.
Although developed by Codemasters rather than Sega, the gameplay concept is incredibly similar, with the main difference being that instead of a taxi looking for fares you play the emergency services looking to stop general mayhem.
To that aim you have to complete a number of tasks. For every task you complete you get more time given to you so you can play on and eventually playing for long enough (if you haven't run out of time) means you complete that quadrant of the map.
To give you some purpose there are a series of mini-games that you have to complete and these involve you having to use the motion sensor element of the Wii Remote to complete them.
Chores include such things as stopping a fire hydrant leaking water, saving someone's life by waving the Wii Remote at a given time to the heart beat or putting out a fire in a skip. The tasks, which themselves are timed, are simple and don't require much thought however do serve to break up the monotony of driving around the city non-stop.
Chores or tasks are found by a big arrow in the sky, although there is no map to see when the turning is coming up, nor is the arrow clever enough to tell you which road to take. It's a bit frustrating as more often than not the arrow will just point in the general direction of the task leading you into a dead end. Of course, some will say this only adds to the challenge, but it's like someone offering to help and then saying that they are only going to say names of cheeses whenever you ask them a question.
Like Crazy Taxi, Emergency Mayhem is a pick up and play game with no save options or chance to come back to a section. The city quadrants aren't small either meaning you could get frustrated if you've just spent the last 20 minutes trying to do everything only to run out of time and have to start back at the beginning.
If you liked Crazy Taxi then you'll do doubt love Emergency Mayhem on the Wii, the gameplay is virtually identical while the added element of the mini-games and emergency service dedicated tasks means Codemasters have managed to bring some new life into the concept.
Using three different emergency services within the one city is a bit of a cop-out however we can see that without it, the game would have been very short indeed.
Emergency Mayhem isn't the greatest Wii game around, nor will it win any prizes for ingenuity, however for fans of Sega's classic this will be right up your street.

On Sunday, May 11, 2014, Governor Mark Dayton signed into law a package of bills dubbed the Women's Economic Security Act ("WESA"), which will have significant implications for Minnesota employers. Many of WESA's provisions go into effect immediately, and as such, employers should be aware of these significant changes to Minnesota law and adjust their policies and practices accordingly. The following is a summary of key provisions in WESA.
Pregnancy Accommodations
WESA creates a new section, codified at Minn. Stat § 181.9414, that requires Minnesota employers to provide pregnancy accommodations. Under the provisions of the new law, an employer generally must provide reasonable accommodations to a female employee for "health conditions related to pregnancy or childbirth if she so requests, with the advice of her licensed health care provider or certified doula." A pregnant employee is not required to obtain the advice of her licensed health care provider or certified doula in order to request (1) more frequent restroom, food, and water breaks, (2) seating, and (3) limits on lifting over 20 pounds. Whether requiring "advice" means that employers may request a medical provider's note prior to granting an accommodation remains unclear, but given the development of the bill through the legislative process, employers should exercise caution before requiring a pregnant employee to provide a medical provider certification as a precondition to granting an accommodation.
Employers are not required to provide an accommodation if doing so would impose an undue hardship on the employer's business. However, employers may not claim an undue hardship if the employee only requests more frequent restroom, food, and water breaks; seating; and/or limits on lifting over 20 pounds. The law also provides that employers are not required to create a new or additional position or to discharge any employee, transfer any employee with greater seniority, or promote any employee as a form of reasonable accommodation.
An employer may not require an employee to take leave or to accept an accommodation. Rather, employers and employees must engage in an interactive process with respect to the employee's request for reasonable accommodation.
The new statute prohibits employers from retaliating against an employee for requesting or obtaining a pregnancy accommodation.
The provisions of § 181.9414 become effective immediately.
Pregnancy and Parenting Leave
Minn. Stat § 181.941 has been amended to provide up to twelve weeks of unpaid leave for (1) a biological or adoptive parent in conjunction with the birth or adoption of a child, or (2) a female employee for prenatal care, or incapacity due to pregnancy, childbirth, or related health conditions. Previously, § 181.941 provided employees with six weeks of unpaid leave for the birth or adoption of a child and did not provide for leave due to pregnancy related conditions. The leave provided by Minn. Stat § 181.941 may be reduced by any period of paid leave or vacation, as well as leave under the FMLA, if applicable, so that the total required leave for the employee does not exceed 12 weeks.
Employees are permitted to take this leave when required for prenatal care, or because of incapacity due to pregnancy, childbirth, or related health conditions, or otherwise within 12 months of the birth or adoption of a child.
Employers may continue to adopt reasonable policies governing timing of requests for leave under § 181.941 and may require an employee to give reasonable notice of the date the leave shall commence and the estimated duration of the leave. The amendments to § 181.941 become effective August, 1, 2014.
Wage Disclosure Protection
The new law, codified at Minn. Stat. § 181.172, prohibits employers from (1) requiring nondisclosure by an employee of his or her wages as a condition of employment; (2) requiring an employee to sign a waiver or other document which purports to deny an employee the right to disclose the employee's wages; or (3) taking any adverse employment action against an employee for disclosing the employee's own wages or discussing another employee's wages which have been disclosed voluntarily.
The law does not permit employees to disclose proprietary information, trade secret information, or information that is otherwise subject to a legal privilege or protected by law without the written consent of the employer. Employees also are prohibited from disclosing wage information of other employees to an employer's competitor.
Employers must include a notice of the employee's rights and remedies under the new law in their employee handbooks.
The new law prohibits employers from retaliating against an employee for asserting rights and remedies under the new law. An employee may bring a civil action against an employer that unlawfully prohibits an employer from disclosing wages or that retaliates against an employee for asserting rights or remedies under the new law. If a court finds that the employer has violated the new law, the court may award damages, costs (including attorneys' fees) and/or order reinstatement, back pay, restoration of a lost service credit, or the expungement of any related adverse records of an employee who was the subject of the violation. The provisions of § 181.172 become effective August, 1, 2014.
Nursing Mothers
Minnesota employers are required under Minn. Stat. § 181.939 to provide nursing mothers with reasonable unpaid break time in order to express breast milk and make reasonable efforts to provide a private room for nursing mothers. Amendments to § 181.939 now require employees to provide a private room, other than a bathroom or toilet stall, that is "shielded from view and free from intrusion from coworkers and the public and that includes access to an electrical outlet."
Most significantly, the amended statute now explicitly prohibits retaliation against an employee who asserts rights under § 181.939. An employee may bring a civil action to recover any damages, including costs and reasonable attorney's fees (as well as injunctive and other equitable relief), based on a claim that her employer violated § 181.939 or retaliated against the employee. The statute provides that the employer will be held harmless if reasonable effort has been made to comply with its requirements, but it remains unclear whether or how that protection would apply in the context of a retaliation claim.
The amendments also provide that the Division of Labor Standards and Apprenticeship will investigate administrative complaints related to § 181.939 by contacting the employer within two business days and investigating the complaint within ten days of the receipt of the complaint. The amendments to § 181.939 become effective August 1, 2014.
"Familial Status" As A New Protected Class in the Minnesota Human Rights Act
The newly enacted law expands the provisions of the Minnesota Human Rights Act ("MHRA") by prohibiting employment discrimination on the basis of familial status. The MHRA defines familial status as "the condition of one or more minors being domiciled with (1) their parent or parents or the minor's legal guardian or (2) the designee of the parent or parents or guardian with the written permission of the parent or parents or guardian." The familial status protection also extends to "any person who is pregnant or is in the process of securing legal custody of an individual who has not attained the age of majority."
Although the implications of this change are potentially broad, a recent letter from the Commissioner of Human Rights suggests that the Department is wary of interpreting discrimination based on familial status too broadly. For example, the Department has responded that neither "failure to provide special accommodations in work schedules due to an employee's parentage of minor children," nor "failure to provide special accommodations or exceptions to ordinary performance expectations or evaluations due to the employee's parentage of minor children or pregnancy," would constitute discrimination on the basis of familial status.
As with many other provisions of WESA, the addition of "familial status" to the MHRA is effective immediately.
Sick Leave Benefits and Care of Relatives
Minn. Stat. § 181.9413, which governs use of sick leave benefits to care for relatives, was amended to permit employees to use employer provided sick leave in additional ways. Last year, the law was amended to allow employees to use accrued sick leave benefits to care for the employee's adult child, spouse, sibling, parent, grandparent, or stepparent, in addition to the employee's minor children. The new amendments now permit employees to use sick leave benefits in the same manner with respect to an employee's mother-in-law, father-in-law, and/or grandchildren.
Most significantly, the amended statute now permits employees to use sick leave for "safety leave" for the employee or covered relatives. Safety leave is defined as "leave for the purpose of providing or receiving assistance because of sexual assault, domestic abuse, or stalking."
Employers may continue to limit the use of sick leave to care for covered relatives other than the employee's child to a maximum of 160 hours in a 12-month period. Similarly, employers may limit the use of safety leave to a maximum of 160 hours in a 12-month period.
Employers may not retaliate against an employee for requesting or obtaining a leave of absence under the amended law. The amendments to § 181.9413 become effective August 1, 2014.
Equal Pay Certificate
The new law, codified at Minn. Stat. § 363A.44, requires most employers with 40 or more full-time employees in Minnesota (or in a state where the employer has its primary place of business) to obtain an equal pay certificate from the state if it does business with the state in excess of $500,000.
In order to obtain an equal pay certificate, the employer must pay a $150 filing fee and submit an equal pay compliance statement to the Commissioner of Human Rights that certifies:
The equal pay compliance statement must also indicate what type of approach the employer uses in setting its compensation and benefits: (1) a market pricing approach; (2) a state prevailing wage or union contract requirements; (3) a performance pay system (4) an internal analysis; or (5) an alternative approach to determine what level of wages and benefits to pay its employees, and if the business uses an alternative approach, the business must provide a description of its approach. The Department recently issued a sample Equal Pay Compliance Statement Application.
The Commissioner may reject an application for an equal pay certificate only if the employer's application does not comply with the above requirements. Further, employers that fail to make a good-faith effort to comply with the provisions of § 363A.44 or that have multiple violations of the laws identified in the equal pay compliance statement may have their certificate suspended or revoked.
Under the new law, the Commissioner is given the authority to audit state contractors to ensure compliance with the new provisions. Employers that are audited must now provide the commissioner with the following information: (1) the number of male employees; (2) the number of female employees; (3) average annualized salaries paid to male employees and to female employees, in the manner most consistent with the employer's compensation system, within each major job category; (4) information on performance payments, benefits, or other elements of compensation, in the manner most consistent with the employer's compensation system, if requested by the commissioner as part of a determination as to whether these elements of compensation are different for male and female employees; (5) average length of service for male and female employees in each major job category; and (6) other information identified by the business or by the commissioner, as needed, to determine compliance.
Finally – and importantly for employers – the Commissioner recently issued a letter in response to concerns that the new equal pay certificate provisions require employers to implement concepts of comparable worth. Comparable worth standards require employers to pay employees in "female dominated" jobs at the same compensation levels as employees in "male dominated" jobs, based on a subjective points-based job evaluation system. In the Commissioner's letter, the Commissioner made clear that the Department interprets the new provisions as ensuring compliance with equal pay laws, and that it does not require employers to adopt comparable worth policies.
Employers that contract with the State will not have much time to wrap their heads around these new requirements. The law goes into effect August 1, 2014, and applies to any "solicitation made on or after that date."
The new provisions in WESA bring sweeping changes to the employment law landscape in Minnesota and could cause problems for many employers, Employers should be aware of these changes and adjust their policies accordingly, especially in light of the fact that many of these provisions become effective immediately.

In Asia, as in the U.S., business benefits from a cheap, reliable labor force that can be coerced into working long hours without protest. But can the private sector be enlisted to help curb these abuses?
In a landmark appearance at Asia Society headquarters in New York on Thursday, Myanmar President Thein Sein said that his country has left behind its authoritarian government and that the road to democracy was irreversible.
"As a drone flies over the territory of Pakistan, it becomes an American war again," said Hina Rabbani Khar at Asia Society in New York.
"We do not condone violence," Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar said Thursday at Asia Society in New York. "That is not what Islam teaches us."
Yingluck Shinawatra said her government will "make every effort to help build trust and confidence" among parties in the South China Sea disputes in a speech at Asia Society in New York.
Burton Levin, who represented the U.S. in the Southeast Asian nation from 1987 to 1990, discussed the current political situation in Myanmar recently at Asia Society in Hong Kong.
Asia Society Associate Fellow Duncan McCargo says Thailand Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has been proving the experts wrong with her political savvy and brokering skills.
A Chinese slowdown will not necessarily equal an end to Australian economic growth, said Australian Foreign Minister Bob Carr on Monday before a packed house at The Pierre in New York City.
Asia Society Associate Fellow Thom Woodroofe says Australia Prime Minister Julia Gillard may use talks at Asia Society and other venues in New York this week to highlight her nation's role in security in Asia.
In 2011, a new, quasi-civilian government took power in Myanmar, and boldly began to implement democratic reforms which continue today. At the helm of this fluid and fragile transition is President Thein Sein, a former military brigadier general who served as Prime Minister in the previous military government led by Senior General Than Shwe.

This beautiful lodge sits on 8.5 acres next to Pineview Reservoir. It's perfectly situated close to unlimited recreation including Snowbasin, Powder Mountain, and Wolf Mountain ski resorts, snowmobiling at Monte Cristo, boating, water activities, biking, and hiking. From the decks and balconies, you enjoy views of the lake and mountains. During spring and summer, geese, pelicans, herons, fox, and deer can be seen behind the lodge near the lake.
The lodge is about 5,300 square feet. It's made of custom logs brought down from Yellowstone after the fire. It's unique and cozy environment welcomes you home after a day outdoors. There is a huge parking area for cars, RV's, and trailers. The lodge is surrounded by a grass yard complete with a playground for kids and a basketball court. Volleyball, bocci ball, croquet, and horseshoes, are all available. Off the back deck is an enormous 14' X 7' X 4' spa/swimmer... a perfect place to relax after a long day.
Inside you will never lack for entertainment. The lodge comes complete a large custom and automated theater with terraced seating, satellite TV, a pool table, foosball, ping pong, a log playhouse, and plenty of games. Feel free to grill your dinner on the large stainless steel 4' X 2' Viking grill on the back deck or on the smaller inside grill.
You can call the bed rooms what you want, but we've named them the Lake Room (for it's magnificent view of the lake), the Ranch Room (for it's log fence and mural surrounding the bed), the Bear Den (for it's cozy wooden loft), the Bunk House (for it's 4 bunk beds), and the Master Bedroom (because it is.)
Nearly every sofa is also a fold-out couch so the lodge can sleep 21 people assuming 2 sleep in every double, queen, and king bed. The bedrooms are very large and all include a nice sitting area.
Here is the exact bed configuration...
Lake Room 1 Queen Also balcony with beautiful views
Bear Den 2 Twins
Master Bedroom 1 King 1 Queen Sofa Sleeper
Sitting Room 2 Queen Sofa Sleepers
Front Room 1 Queen Sofa Sleeper 1 Twin Sofa Sleeper
Ranch Room 1 Queen
Bunk House 4 Twin Bunk Beds
This lodge is the perfect place for a ski vacation, situated right in the middle of 3 resorts. It can easily accommodate large groups of people including family reunions and corporate retreats. It's also perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy the fantastic outdoors of Utah.
Keywords: log home, cabin, home, ski lodge, log, luxury home, mountain home, lodge
We are a family of 5, living in Utah and regularly spend time at the lodge. We enjoy skiing, snowmobiling, boating, climbing, hiking, and soaking in the hot tub.
The Owner purchased this lodge in 1997
Great place, great views, very comfortable. The game room was really fun to have, along with a good supply of games. The hot tub was outstanding. Being from Lake Tahoe, CA we are skiers and snowmobilers. The Skiing and snowmobiling in this area are excellent. Complaints/ improvements: Twin bed in the room with two beds has blood stains on sheets, Sheets in master bedroom are pilled and old, knives in kitchen are all very dull, pots and pans could be upgraded. We would love to book it again next season.
We came up a few days prior to our wedding day to have some relaxing time with friends and family
This facility was perfect for our family reunion! It was close to Pineview reservoir so we were able to do water activities. The lodge was large enough that we could spread out and yet have family time together as well. It was a very fun facility and would highly recommend it.
This home was absolutely perfect for our family get away. Everyone enjoyed all it had to offer. We stayed at this gorgeous home with my family of 5, my brother's family of 4, and my parents. Everyone had their own space and felt so comfortable. The kids loved the playground, play room and game room. We all loved the theater room. The kitchen was wonderful. The deck and yards are amazing, and the view is breathtaking. We will definitely be renting this home again. ** Also, we had minor repair needs and the owner responded and took care of them quickly. **
We had a family get together at the "Cookout Lodge". The location was fantastic, right by Pineview Reservoir. There was plenty of room, lots of beds and amenities. I would certainly recommend the property. Our kids loved the lake, the yard and the combination pool/ping pong table.
A few minor issues, the movie room didn't work. The owner was quick to respond to texts and tried to help out, but we weren't able to get it running while there. There wasn't enough bedding for all of the pull-out couches. Good thing we brought some extra sleeping bags.
Bring bottled water to drink! The tap water has a heavy metallic taste. They do have a water filter in the kitchen, but it wasn't enough for our large group in the heat of July.
While this cabin is located near three ski resorts and makes a great winter destination, it is also beautiful in the summer! Our whole family gathered here for a 5-day reunion and had a great time. While the sofa-beds were not very comfortable for adults, we found that a foam mattress toper made a huge difference. There was plenty of room for everyone to find a quiet corner when they needed it and many activities in the house and yard to keep us busy. We visited the reservoir beach one day and enjoyed water activities; there are boat-launch ramps for fishing and water-skiing excursions as well. We also enjoyed watching the colonies of pelicans, geese and migrating cranes in the swampy area between the cabin and the lake every day. The air conditioner kept us comfortable during the hot afternoons and the yard was quite comfortable in the mornings and evenings. We discovered that our 12-yearold grandson is a natural at Bocce Ball!
We had issues with two elements on the stove when we first arrived, but one phone call summoned a handyman who came to the rescue. He visited twice more during our stay to work on some leaky sink plumbing issues as well. Housekeepers came twice to make sure all our needs were taken care of. We felt the owners were genuinely concerned about making our visit comfortable and safe.
Cookout Lodge is perfectly situated on Pineview reservoir very close to both Snowbasin and Powder Mountain ski resorts.
Other Activities: Skiing, Snowmobiling, Health/Beauty Spa, Hot Air Ballooning, Sledding, Horseshoes, snowboarding, Rock Climbing

Soft whispers in your ear
proclaiming of eternal devotion
as arms hold each other
and we are enveloped
in the sweet foreboding
given and received.
While our bodies are baptized
by the evening mist
while the shadows of the eve hides us
from the eyes of those who might see.
Lips soft touch
feeding our hunger
and feeding our hunger
creating a spark
of such desire
each caress heightening the passion
as we are are enveloped within the rapture
our hearts bring forth within us.
To feel the warmth of skin
under each others touch
and taste the euphoric nectar of our bodies
as we open ourselves up to the paradise of our love
and the enchantment which envelopes us
as the rain fall blesses our innocence
upon this special night.

The Top 500 online jewelry retailer also reports a small gain in global sales.
Thad Rueter
Net sales increased 6.8% year over year in the first quarter for online jeweler Blue Nile Inc. Blue Nile, No. 78 in the new Internet Retailer 2014 Top 500 Guide, also reported a 1.9% increase in sales to consumers outside the United States.
"As we announce our financial performance, we remain steadfast in our execution of three key initiatives in 2014," says Harvey Kanter, president and CEO. "These include enhancing the user experience; developing our product lines in bridal and diamond jewelry, as well as fashion pieces through The Designer Collective; and expanding internationally by building our presence in China and growing our established markets. Through these initiatives, we continue on our quest to be nothing less than the worldwide leading retailer of bridal and fine jewelry."
Blue Nile launched its e-commerce site in China in January 2013 and works with Chinese fashion e-retailer Xiu.com to distribute its jewelry items to other online marketplaces in China.
For the quarter ended March 30, Blue Nile reported:
• Net sales increased year over year 6.8% to $103.7 million from $97.1 million in the same period last year.
• Net income increased 31.4% to approximately $1.1 million from about $837,000 in the same period last year.
• Sales of engagement rings in the United States grew year over year 8.0% to $59.7 million from $55.3 million.
• Sales in other jewelry categories in the United States increased 7.8% to $26.1 million from $24.2 million in 2013.
• International sales grew year over year 1.9% to $17.9 million.
• Selling, general and administrative expenses hit $17.5 million, up 6.1% compared with $16.5 million in the same period in 2013. Those expenses include stock-based compensation of $1.1 million, the same as for the first quarter last year.
Blue Nile said that for the second quarter of 2014, which ends June 29, it expects net sales between $108 million and $113 million.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I am U.S. citizen, I want to apply for my mother to get her green card, she has an adopted 8 years old daughter, can she come with her too or just my mother can get her green card?
They can both get a Green Card
Edit: they can both get a Green Card; however, only the visa for your mother is immediately available
Your mother can receive a green card in about a year if out of the us. The "sister" cannot come with the mother. You could file for the child and the child would have to wait several years so they are unable to come together. I disagree with the other lawyer. I would disregard the other answer.
Your mother can get a green card. You can sponsor your sister too but it will take at least 10 years before she can come to the US
No, your sister cannot come with your mother, even if you file at the same time. Refer to the Visa Bulletin and you will see the that category (siblings) is very retrogressed and can sometimes take 10-15 years depending on the country.
Once your mother receives her green card, she can file a petition for your sister. This too can take some time (not as long as you applying for your sister) so I hope that there is someone in your homeland who can care for your sister.
You can file for your mother. It will take approximately 6-9 months. When your mother has her green card she can file for your sister. This will take some time but shorter than if you file for your sister. Speak with and retain an immigration attorney before proceeding.

This review is from: Sony Xperia Z Ultra LTE C6806 16 GB, 2 GB RAM Purple Unlocked Cell Phone 6.4"
Pros: A $600 piece of poorly constructed glass, rubber and aluminum. The metal door gaskets have extraordinary poor construction and sealing abilities, despite Sony's claim of water-resistance to 1.5 meters. In my instance, the claim is false. The device is pretty but no water-resistant as advertised.
Cons: I have owned the $600 device lass than a month and it is presently inoperative after the so-called water-resistant door failed. And, yes, it was completely pushed in all the way and flush with the device body. Because the door failed and the water detectors tripped, the device is no longer under warranty. The rubber door seals were not properly attached to the door covers. The gasket separated from the door. How? I have no idea. Thanks Sony for a $600 rip-off. Thanks for nothing.
Other Thoughts: Not recommended at all...cheap construction that fails and costs you the warranty.READ FULL REVIEW

Please checkictures for detail!!!What is Crystal?Crystal is a form of glass that has Lead Oxide (PbO) in its chemical composition. The purpose of Lead Oxide is to increase the density of glass, which in turn, increases the refractive properties. When it is cut and polished, it creates more colors and sparkle than regular glass. The higher percentage of Lead Oxide in the composition of crystal, the more colors are reflected from it. Cutting and polishing techniques are also very important. In the old days, they were cut and polished by hand which left scratch marks and imperfections on the surface of the crystals, today, with the use of computer controlled high precision equipments, crystals are cut and polished perfect just like diamonds to achieve the maximum amount of sparkle and luster.Following are the different qualities of crystal in the market todayStrass Crystal : Manufactured by Swarovski A.G. located in Austria. It is known as the best quality crystal in the world. It has 30% Lead Oxide content and it is precision machine cut and polished. Each crystal piece has a Strass Logo engraved on it to protect its authenticity.Full Lead Crystal : This is also one of the best quality crystals in the market today. It has 30% Lead Oxide content and it is also precision machine cut and polished which gives it razor sharp facets, pure optical clarity and lots of colors.Swarovski Spectra : Manufactured by Swarovski A.G. a new addition to Crystal Market. It has no Lead Oxide content but it is precision machine cut and polished which still gives it colors and brilliance.Hand Cut Crystal : This crystal is manufactured by the old fashion way of cutting and polishing by hand. The Lead Oxide content varies greatly but it is usually around 5%. Due to the lack of Lead Oxide and not being cut and polished in a precise fashion, it lacks the brilliance and the colors of the above crystals. Some companies call this type of crystal as: Heritage, Bohemian, Regal, Crystalique Sub-Type: Chandeliers, Material: Crystal, Style: French


text: The store doesn't have the entire selection that the website does. For anything not in the store, they have a warehouse from which they bring in requested pieces once a day(if I recall correctly). The time I visited was at around 10:00 in the morning, and when I asked if they had a pair of pants I wanted to try on, the SA told me they didn't have it in at the store, but they could request them for that days shipment and have it in within a couple hours. I said no because I was on vacation and didn't have too much of a flexible schedule, but the service was impressive.
