Guest Reviews | Key West Hotel Reviews
My husband and I stayed with you for 2 nights. What a wonderful experience! We are from NJ but call Florida our "happy place". Key West has always been a day trip for us. But this year we left the kids with grandma and treated ourselves, and a treat is what we got. Clean, friendly and a great location. The little daily happy hours before sunset and breakfast were the perfect little extras. My husband works for a very successful hotel on the jersey shore and I work for an amusement park and have a house cleaning business, so we had some pretty high expectations coming into this trip and were not disappointed.
We will be coming back for sure and you bet our friends and family will be recommended to visit Cypress House on their next Key West vacation.By: Melanie Markoski February 9, 2015

Shame on the federal fascists. The wicked old witch is dead! A Melbourne Magistrates Court has heard that a 31-year-old innocent Victorian man was facing terrorism charges?
But this political trial was brought on by the federal fascist HoWARd neo-Liberal Government who have said, Jack Thomas was approached by an Al Qaeda member on behalf of Osama Bin Laden (of all people) to act as a sleeper in Australia? ZZZZZZZZ But haven't we heard that before? Seems like everyone whose accused these days has some association with a demon or a witch?
The wicked old witch is dead!
It was alleged that NSW prisoners who are locked up behind bars followed Bin Laden? Then the Carr Government changed the prison classification systems highest rating from "A" to "AA" based on that verbal.
Now the fascists can force innocent suspects into the worst of the worst prisons and treat those selected few like the worst of the worst convicted offenders?
But in order to sustain the draconian directive granting the Commissioner of Corrective Services Mr Ron Woodheap the new operational powers - those authorities decided that Bin Laden was the most appropriate demon to sustain them?
NSW Prisoners linked to Bin Laden: Ten News
Hatzistergos: "For example, because of a perceived risk that they may engage in, or incite other persons to engage in, terrorist activities."
Terrorist prisoners held in a "box within a box" with no "fresh air or sunlight" at Goulburn HRMU may incite alleged terrorists in Long Bay to blow up Long Bay's Twin Towers?
Lawyers for Joseph "Jack" Thomas have today made a third application for his release on bail.
Very Superstitious
Thomas is charged with three offences including receiving money from, and providing support to Al Qaeda when he was living in Pakistan in 2002 and 2003?
He was arrested last November and is being held in Victoria's Barwon prison?
The court heard that Thomas was trained at a camp in Pakistan, where he met Osama Bin Laden on more than one occasion?
The court heard the accused continued to associate with people linked to Al Qaeda after the September 11 attacks?
But obviously no real evidence other than hearsay has been produced. Accept for an alleged statement taken in Pakistan while this man was being treated in - less than the standards we'd expected in Australia - whilst allegedly admitting to a crime he didn't commit.
So for the price of thin air this verbal abuse has cost this innocent person his liberty and his Xmas!
It is alleged Thomas was approached by an Al Qaeda member on behalf of Osama Bin Laden, who asked him to act as a sleeper cell in Australia? ZZZZZZZZ.
Chief Magistrate Ian Gray is now considering the bail application.
Writings on the wall
Not much to consider in my opinion. Hearsay evidence and duress don't rate when it comes to confessions. Instead the case should be reversed so that the federal fascists who are arranging for these 'political' terror trials are held to account.
The state of compulsion or necessity in which a person is influenced, whether by the unlawful restrain of his liberty or by actual or threatened physical violence, to incur a civil liability or to commit an offence.

february's gathering: a midwinter feast
our midwinter gathering menu featured variations of some of our favorite common table ingredients to date, including duck confit, butternut squash, and of course... ice cream. brown butter ice cream, at that. we loved gathering ten of you around our hosts' table (thank you, peaks!) and serving these four warm & savory courses at the end of a nashville's bitter cold ice week. thanks for braving the roads to be with us!
also, shoutout to our featured wine of the evening: the mascot, straight out of napa valley. never have we ever seen a cabernet sauvignon put a sparkle in the eyes of our guests like this one did. this wine was fruit-forward and beautifully approachable on its own, and only taken to the next level when paired with our duck dish.
lastly, thank you to our musical guest for the evening, matt wright. your songs and jokes added an unforgettable amount of warmth and joy to the table.
our next gathering will be in may (date TBD), as a couple of our teammates will be traveling in europe this spring. but we hope to come back more inspired than ever, with our experiences abroad sprinkled creatively into both of our coming summer gatherings.
until then, we hope you find inspiration in these photos to gather around your own tables with loved ones and new friends more often this spring. it'll help life slow down, in the best way.
a recap of last weekend's midwinter gathering, from the lens of mikaela hamilton:

Resuscitating the Devil
A friend of mine spends weekends in a barracks with what he calls an unspectacular crew. From all over Massachusetts they heed the call of the National Guard, and for most, the Guard is a sacred cow that asks for little more than three weeks of summer and a weekend every month. Of course they run the risk of being called to duty, shipping off and fighting the devil himself over the hot sands of virtue. In exchange for this standing army, the State pays for their business degrees and kicks in a small stipend. With a grin, my friend talks about the kinder, gentler Guard and its diversity training: the State teaches soldiers about individual rights; how white should respect black; black, white; man, woman; ad nauseam. A novel idea for an assembly line of destruction, a machine whose primary function is to strangle difference when difference is an obstacle. My friend and his posse of Sergeant Carters stroll out of their Quonset hut of higher education with a new understanding and a new phrase in their lexicon with which they'll demonstrate, at least, a sensitivity to language.
It goes something like this: You're at a pub with the gang and one of them who's had too many, spills a mug into the lap of the sullen mechanic to his right, a regular. His mechanical buddies in the corner come to. You step between the two and demonstrate to the mechanic your friend's inebriation by the simple act of apologizing on his behalf. Sorry about that. He's had a few. Mr. Goodwrench, who isn't sure if he can let it slide so easily, bellows with bourbon breath Yeah, he's a stupid fucking drunk. Now here's a chance to use that diversified Guard savvy. But that doesn't make him a bad person. As part of their re-education these soldiers are taught to acknowledge and accept differences, to withhold judgment—a noble if not ironic effort that leads to a muddy crossroads, where, in its twilight, the American consciousness has confused discrimination with discriminating tastes.
Paralyzed, afraid, confused, America stands gawking at passers-by. Opinions lodged like fishbones in her throat. The fear of error haunts us, rattling the bones of confidence. The fear of revelation hangs over streets like a drab specter. When reluctance turns terminal, dialogue dies, the heart beats ambivalently. It happens everywhere, at home and in the institutions. Friends harbor secret objections like runaway thieves. Dissent is written off as ignorance or arrogance. A Buddhist scripture reads the man who refuses to discriminate might as well be dead. All isn't equal. There are monsters and messiahs and between the two, vast stretches of gray that poets and scientists investigate. They are lured by a fragrance of the flower grown at the gate between known and unknown. It's true we spend the dog-days of our lives in the shadowy gardens, but shadow doesn't provide meaning; it provides texture. Neither the plumber nor the poet can allow himself to be seduced by the ambiguous, the undifferentiated, the uncommitted. Can the wise professor despise the Pulitzer Prize winner and simultaneously appreciate her skillful maneuverings? Can the family dog adore his family and growl over his bone? (Or is Spot a bad dog?) Stifled opinions and shunted emotions dissolve the foundations of dialogue and damper the pilot light of the human soul. The dialectic between the living and life flickers, dangerously.
Our fear of the acrimonious emotions that wash over us ceaselessly like the surf is rooted in the same malaise as our reluctance to have, or rather, to stand by opinions. Simple fears have been transformed into supercops by the managers of our emotional lives. The fears of revelation and of commitment are symptoms of a society stunted by a hulking monstrosity, a hegemony, a mass brainwashing, that points to a market-friendly homogenous state where only the finest, approved emotions are bought and sold. Unlike violence, which in its most popular flavor is apolitical, misery and anger are provocative and have proclivities to revolution. Their very nature makes them a tough sale. Expressing emotion presupposes some degree of responsibility, and in a Victim Culture where the many-mouthed god, pop culture, spews out a sermon that holds no one accountable, responsibility is yet another obstacle to the free expression of humanity's bitter side. Now, hate isn't to be worshipped or coddled. It remains a taste of hell, a low grade fever, a minor suffering, and a bellyful of the devil's draught requires many miles to walk off. But to be drunk a lifetime is better than a month of approximation. There is no redemption for the somnambulist.
Intelligent, sensitive, well-intentioned people lean toward this emotion or that, choosing to approximate hate or anger rather than to swallow the pill. Hate, like love or any emotion, by definition, is an on-going relationship between subject and object. One cannot decide to hate someone and cease to be involved in an ever-evolving relationship, a dialogue. Brutes and thugs wreak havoc upon humanity, but hate doesn't motivate them in-as-much as fear and ignorance do. If a static, calculated decision occurs, the emotion degenerates into a intellectual stance, a position. The morning a man decides he's in love with his chosen is the day his love beaches itself upon the shores of routine. While our foul feelings are being ignored and discouraged, the Be-Happy slice is paraded in front of the public incessantly. In the surface water of pop culture, in our daily lives, true feeling has been diluted, rendered impotent, by the continuous banal trumpeting of the marketers.
Despair and hate, a grisly pair, must be admitted to the Human Ball; they were invited long ago. One mustn't deny their presence or their power. You must ride their runaway sleigh and feel that bitter wind against your cheek. To deny them is to die a little, to become a music box ballerina, an insect, a robot, a mute bee. Outlawing despair and dissent sterilizes the human soul. In the high desert, a soldier marvels at a truck hotter in its gears than on its hood. The professor sleeps with her dream journal open, and under a tin roof, the mechanic curses his last wrench. The poet blows deeply into the mouth of the devil and the devil breathes deeply into the soul of man. To live is to live fully. There is no other way.

Here's another muffin you can feel good about eating.
I call them "squashbucklers" because you can use any squash purée, including pumpkin, and they have a certain pirate-y feel to them. Maybe it's the spiciness or the ruby red currants...
Coconut flour is high in fiber (6X as much as whole wheat flour) and it requires a lot of liquid to perform well in a muffin so there are a lot of eggs in this recipe. Eggs are a good source of protein and with the healthy fats (butter, coconut oil and nuts) you can happily start the day with these, especially if you limit or omit the maple syrup.
NOTE: This is a BIG batch - 12 large muffins or 16 small muffins but they freeze well.
2 cups pumpkin purée
1/4 cup melted butter OR melted coconut oil (or half of each)
10 eggs
OPTIONAL: up to 1/2 cup maple syrup
1 cup coconut flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 tsp vanilla powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground ginger
1 cup dried currants and/or 1 cup chopped nuts
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with papers.
Combine the wet ingredients (pumpkin, butter or oil, eggs and maple syrup) in a blender and blend until smooth.
Whisk the dry ingredients (coconut flour, baking soda, salt, vanilla and spices) together in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the blended liquid ingredients over the dry mix and whisk together until smooth.
Stir in the optional currants and nuts and let the batter stand for 15 minutes to firm up.
Fill the muffin cups and bake for 25+ minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

When I was a kid I used to love to ride in the car looking out the window. When the bright sun would shine in, I would shut my eyes and feel the sun changing as we drove by trees or mountains—bright, dark, and bright.
I still love it.
I love to walk through the dead leaves and hear the crunch, crunch under my feet. Leaf color gone, but other senses take part—I am hearing autumn.
Leaves curl and fall. The wind pulls them away and they glide like spaceships on a journey to another world. What if I was the size of Thumbelina and could ride on one as if it were a magic carpet?
What if I was the size of a chipmunk and could scurry down the dark hole into the ground? No, I think I'd rather be a squirrel in a hole in a tree. Give me a place to see the light…let chipmunks and moles have the underground.
This year I'm amazed that once dull trees, suddenly came to a peak and startled me with their brightness. Then gray clouds came with winds cool and crisp.
Then geese gather and fly…and honk.
Horses will grow their thick furs and be fuzzy and fat all over. Later when the hard chill is on, they will stand stock-still to keep in their warmth.
The hardy birds will come to my feeders and sing cheerfully all winter.
These are things I enjoy that never get old. Our dear, "Mother Nature" people fondly call it, is in reality, altogether Creator-God.
We hear much about being mindful these days. You can search Google and find all sorts of Mindful coaches. Being present in the moment, in the now, not the past or the future is good advice. But what are they really all about; does their teaching bring us closer to God or away from Him?
One Creator, One God of the Universe is who and what we are to be mindful of. He the One who planned us before time began, and is still very current in our everyday lives. Do we know him and do we seek him out?
Are we mindful of God in our ever wakeful moments?
I love to review the words of the Psalmist…
"O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.
You hem me in—behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, to lofty for me to attain."
Psalm 139:1-6
"The heavens praise your wonders, O LORD, your faithfulness too, in the assembly of the holy ones. For who in the skies above can compare with the LORD? Who is like the LORD among the heavenly beings? In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared; he is more awesome than all who surround him. O LORD God Almighty, who is like you? You are mighty, O LORD, and your faithfulness surrounds you."
Psalm 89: 5-8

Historic Places: Iceland
These layovers are actually a small part of Iceland's recent history. Icelandair offers cheap flights to Europe with 1-7 day layovers at the Keflavik airport in order to boost the country's economy and increase tourism, and from what I could see it is a great plan. We used our 17 hour layover to visit the world famous Blue Lagoon, but there are plenty of other attractions including Reykjavik, glacier tours, volcano tours, and the continental divide. If you visit at the right time of year, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Northern Lights.
Iceland's history begins with visits by Vikings (and those running from them), as is evinced in the Icelandic language. It's history as an independent country began relatively recently with separation from Denmark in 1944. There may be fewer people living in all of Iceland than in many US cities, but it still has a surprisingly deep history.
Since Irish monks fled to Iceland in an attempt to outrun Viking invaders in the 9th century, Iceland has endured less battles for power than most European countries. One of the few invasions that has taken place was by the British during World War II when they were afraid that Germany would take the island and use it as a launching point for attacks on the UK. Iceland's greater tragedy was when the Laki volcanic fissure erupted over several months from 1783-1784. With crops and livestock decimated and several thousand people killed, evacuation of the island was considered.
A famous Icelander you have probably heard of is Leif Eriksson, who likely deserves more credit than Christopher Columbus for 'discovering' the Americas. In fact, it is possible that Columbus visited Iceland in 1477 and learned of the previous trip. Did Eriksson sail off course on his way to Greenland, discovering North America but never getting any credit for it? Probably. Apparently, Columbus was great at both exploring and marketing.

The socialist part holds a number of beliefs with some being taxing the rich, promoting democracy, equal rights for all people regardless of race, gender, sexuality or religion, use of alternative energy and peaceful coexistence of all states. People who subscribe to socialist parties across the world believe that a country should direct its efforts at promoting fairness for all in all policy decisions and undertakings.
Socialism beliefs generally tend to incorporate the culture of sharing in all aspects of life. If for example the government wishes to start an economic project, socialists are likely to lobby the government to do so in a way that favors all people instead of a few.

Future Fitness Tracks Progress, Suggests Exercises and Keeps You Engaged: Gymtrack
We're all keen on providing a healthy environment for ourselves in the privacy of our home, but once at a gym, the power is somehow stripped from you. Adding a personal insight into your every workout, Gymtrack keeps track of members workouts by using a "smart pin" that transforms the web of your gym's machines into a virtual personal training wonderland. This new system organizes the gym experience by dramatically re-shaping what gyms can offer their customers in terms of tracking, motivation and feedback.
A bracelet worn by each gym member tracks their workout and suggests improvements. This high tech fitness solution for gyms encourages members to shape up by keeping them motivated and engaged. Gyms can provide automated workout tracking and feedback to all members by simply installing the Gymtrack on all their machines, weight stack, cardio machines or free weights and it can even be used when doing body weight exercises. The Gymtrack is standalone, it needs no smartphone to function but "using Gymtrack with a smartphone or app-enabled device allows users to receive auditory feedback in real-time. Gymtrack will guide members through their workout, motivate them, and make sure they don't feel lost, confused, or intimidated in the gym ever again."
Gymtrack is presented as the Future of Fitness and it can certainly become just that – the beginning of a fitness revolution. Traditional personal training can be supplemented with these patent pending sensor systems that easily install on any existing gym equipment. Challenging not only members to work consistently but also your personal trainers to re-shape their interaction and impact on members, Gymtrack changes the rules: "Personal trainers from your gym can create personalized workout plans for your members and use the Gymtrack platform to track their progress, provide feedback, and update their plan to help them reach their goals. Clients can message personal trainers through Gymtrack's app or website, rate exercises, workouts, and even personal trainers in order to make sure they end up with a workout plan that's right for them."
In addition to this, "Gymtrack even provides important metrics such as force, power, explosiveness, tempo, range of motion, and time under tension– allowing both members and personal trainers to gain a deeper insight into their workouts." Since you can't lie to a machine that monitors your pulse, force and determination, you can't lie to yourself. Going beyond regular fitness tracking technology, Gymtrack creates gym communities and helps members reach new height in their fitness levels. Even if technology is one of the 10 must-have items that luxurious buyers want most, the Gymtrack will change the way your interaction with gym equipment changes the outcome. So a gym membership will be starting to look differently with the implementation of this new gym tracking system. It will be even more worth it to work out in a gym.
Fabulous homes we feature come equipped with different sporting facilities like basketball courts or tennis courts or even skateboarding half-pipes. But those who love gym equipment and feed on the energy exuded by like-minded people working out will be thrilled to be accompanied by virtual personal trainers that enhance their gym experience. The hi-tech fitness system suggests a higher flexibility in reaching goals and a better transparency leading to a higher level of commitment. Pre-ordering your Gymtrack means staying ahead of fitness goals. As a member, your gym will be the one motivating you like never before.

Massive data sets are being generated on an unprecedented scale in the academic and private sectors through wearable health devices, online educational courses, social media, and more. "Big data" has great potential for scientific advances in both biomedical and social, behavioral, and education research (SBER), and in recent years, institutional review boards (IRBs) have seen an influx of research involving large data sets. As our society as a whole and the research community continue to produce and utilize large data sets, IRBs need to know how to best protect human subjects when reviewing a protocol that involves big data.
Using case studies from SBER and biomedical research, presenters shared best practices for how to review research protocols that either create or use large data sets, with a focus on maintaining the value of the data while protecting human subjects.

text: In a world where people like Charlie Sheen are getting the most coverage for being an out of control celebrity, it's nice to see that there are still celebs who are actually grounded and ~gasp~ intelligent! Natalie Portman is one such lady who has it all: beauty, brains, and talent (she now has an Oscar to back that claim up). Regarding her braininess, it turns out that she is so brainy that back in the 90's she was actually a semifinalist in the Intel Science Talent Search! We have covered this event for several years now and there is no shortage of talent on display there. To think one of them was Natalie Portman… We can't help but wonder if she had won the Intel Science Talent Search, that perhaps her career path would have been completely different… can you picture Natalie Portman the engineer?

Your tax dollars are at work again…this time funding what some had referred to as a "$600 million godless pit" in Washington, DC. The nearly half billion dollar over budget Capital Visitor Center has been the national version of "the big dig." But out of control spending isn't new to Washington DC (Google "Bailout"). Unfortunately, the political correctness and anti-Christian bigotry that dominates bureaucratic Washington has been unleashed on the visitor center, leading to the removal of any references to God.
Rewriting founding documents, erasing references to God, and blatently misrepresenting history are but a few of the problems that have been discoverd. Our own Virginia Congressman Randy Forbes has taken the lead in trying to restore the references to our true history by working with the folks desigining the center.
In the meantime, Wallbuilders has this great video that shows some of the attacks on our history:
Of course, our friends with groups like "Americans United for Separation of Church and State" are doing all they can to banish God from any public mention. As the battles over the past continues, the future looks more and more bleak. Most Americans have no clue what our real history is, so few will notice the lack of truth at the visitor center.
At what point do Christians in this nation finally say enough is enough and start to stand up?

How to Deal With Merbau Wood Stains
Merbau wood is great to use for decking timber. Tough, durable and visually appealing, it has become a favourite of builders and homeowners. But it has one particularly annoying quality; merbau timber "bleeds" which can stain surrounding structures.
The problem is that Merbau (and many other timber species) tend to discharge sap and tannins. There are no worries when the deck is built directly on top of the soil, because the discharge is simply absorbed into the ground. But if the deck, screen or fence is built atop concrete, for example, the oils and resins that leach out may leave ugly stains on the surrounding concrete. These Merbau wood stains can also affect furniture, clothing and other materials that come in contact with the timber.
The discharge itself is harmless. It's just ugly. There are a couple of ways to deal with Merbau wood stains.
First, you can avoid the discharge by ensuring that the timber is thoroughly dried up even before you start building with it. To do this you have a couple of options. First is you let time and nature take its course and wait it out while the tannins completely drain out of the timber. The good news is that the tannin inside the timber is not infinite so it will run out eventually. But this could take a few months.
Or you can force the tannins out using a pressure wash or even with a commercial product such as a deck cleaner. This significantly cuts down the time needed to flush out the tannins.
If you have already built your structure and installed the Merbau timber and it still leaches tannins, then you will need to deal with the resulting stains directly. Again, you have two options. The first also involves time and nature — simply ignore the stains and they will eventually fade away. Eventually.
Or simply buy yourself some bleach, the type you probably have and use in your home already, and a stiff brush. Then apply some elbow grease and scrub away at the Merbau wood stains. They should be erased from existence soon enough.

text: Duhaime's Law Dictionary Strata Definition: Title in a prescribed part of a building coupled with a tenant in common interest in common areas. Related Terms: Condominium, Co-ownership A form of ownership created by statute, synonymous with condominium ownership. Some jurisdictions refer to the building/apartment co-ownership scheme as condominium (eg. the Condominium Act of Nova Scotia), others the Strata Title Act. British Columbia began in 1966 with a strata title statute; reverted to a condominium act and more recently, in 1998, returned again to the nomenclature of Strata Title Act. In his book, law professor Pavlich defined strata as follows: "... the Strata Titles Act ... property-law regime ... consists of a combination of title in fee simple in respect of a described part of a building or designated air space or even bare land, coupled with an interest as a tenant in common in respect of the remaining (common) areas, either in the form of land, air space, facilities or buildings."

We were quick witted and quirky (in a lame way).
We shared a large Coke slushy spiked with cheap whiskey.
We were in love in another life
and we were gods in that past life.
I tried to make it something it wasn't.
We have boring dates.
We sit in your Uptown apartment and carry on boring conversations.
We have amazing sex
and. it. is. so. fucking. boring.
I'm easily bored, just text me back.
We tried too hard to impress each other.
We ignored minor responsibilities.
We were horny & lonely
and drunk.
I was out of my league.
We watched that big hockey game together.
We drank tequila, wine, & hard cider.
We started to kiss
and then I blacked out.
I think that's called rape, technically speaking.
We shared a good night together.
We pretended we were interested in the movie I put on.
We had kinky sex
and you have a big dick.
I used you.
I still think I love you.
I invited you over, you owed me tacos.
I gave you genuine attention
but I came on too strong.
We should have at least fucked, geez.

EEOC staff members wrote the following informal discussion letter in response to an inquiry from a member of the public. The letters, which are informal discussions of the issues, do not constitute official opinions of the Commission.
Title VII: Conviction Records
This is in response to your e- mail inquiry of December 5, 2004, requesting information concerning discrimination against "ex-offenders." Specifically, you ask whether financial institutions can lawfully deny employment to convicted felons regardless of the nature of the crime. You also ask whether such institutions are subject to fines if they hire "convicted felons."
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has the responsibility of enforcing, among other laws, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (Title VII), 42 U.S.C.
§ 2000e et seq., which prohibits discrimination against applicants and employees on the basis of race, color, sex, religion or national origin.
Although Title VII does not, on its face, prohibit discrimination on the basis of conviction records, the EEOC and courts have concluded that a policy or practice of excluding individuals from employment on the basis of their conviction records may have an adverse impact on certain minority groups in light of statistics showing that they are convicted at a rate disproportionate to their representation in the population. If there is such an impact, the policy or practice can be maintained only if the employer can show a business need.
Whether there is a business need for excluding individuals with conviction records from particular jobs depends upon:
The attached documents discuss these factors in more detail.
If a federal law subjects employers in a particular industry to fines for hiring convicted felons into certain jobs, employers covered by that law would have a business need to conform to those legal requirements. However, because the EEOC does not enforce any laws regulating the employment of convicted felons by financial institutions, we cannot provide any information on potential fines that might be imposed. Any fines to which financial institutions are subject for hiring convicted felons are probably imposed by banking laws. For information about such laws, you may wish to contact:
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Legal Division
550 17th Street, NW
Washington, DC 20429-9990
We hope this information is helpful to you. Please note, however, that this letter does not constitute an opinion or interpretation of the Commission within the meaning of § 713 of Title VII.

Assistant Legal Counsel

It was third time unlucky for Liverpool as they completed an unwanted hat-trick of defeats in the contest to decide the world's best club. And as the crown slipped from their grasp yet again, the sense of disappointment among Rafael Benitez' charges was all too palpable. After dominating for long periods and creating countless chances, the Reds came off second best against Sao Paulo in the FIFA Club World Championship TOYOTA Cup, Japan 2005. No matter how hard they tried, there was simply no way past Brazilian keeper Rogerio Ceni, winner of the adidas Golden Ball and Toyota award, and Mineiro's 27th-minute strike ensured the Copa Libertadores champions would be taking the trophy back to Brazil.
"We deserved to win. The statistics show we had 21 shots, 17 corners, 2 crossbars and three goals disallowed. What more can you do?" Liverpool coach Rafa Benitez asked reporters. "In the last 10 minutes we played inside their box. I'm disappointed with the result but very happy with my players."
Those European champions cut dejected figures as they trudged through the mixed zone, with many of the players reluctant to share their feelings as the disappointment of losing a game they felt they deserved to win began to sink in.
"I think it was a totally unfair result. We dominated the game in the second half, created lots of chances, played well as a team and had three goals ruled out. We're bitterly disappointed but we've got to accept it and get on with things. There's no point in moaning about it now," said Spanish playmaker Xabi Alonso. "I can't believe we couldn't get an equaliser after all the chances we had. It's a shame we couldn't lift the trophy, but we've got to pick ourselves up and keep on working."
After 11 consecutive clean sheets, Goalkeeper Pepe Reina had to endure the strange sensation of picking the ball out of the net again. His record-breaking run was over and with it Liverpool's charge for the trophy: "I'm angry at the way it's ended because we were the better side. We've let a title slip out of our hands and it's the kind of competition you only ever get one chance at."
"I wasn't that bothered about the record. It had to end some time. I'm just annoyed that it had to happen in the final with a title at stake," added the Reds' keeper. "We made a mistake and it cost us very dear. We had eight or 10 clear-cut chances and I reckon at least one of the three disallowed goals should have stood."
Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher was in little mood to talk as he left the stadium.
"We should never have fallen behind. We were the better side but there's no point in going over it now and we've just got to start thinking about the next game," he said as he made his way to the team bus.
Fellow defender John Arne Riise tried to look on the bright side and take some positives from the tournament: "It's been a great experience and we've had another two games we can learn from and build on for the future."
"We played really well in the second half. We created lots of chances and the offside decisions made it really hard for us. We're going home very disappointed, but there's no time for complaining and we just have to turn our minds to the future," he added.
As the Norwegian international knows only too well, if you fail to take your chances, as Liverpool did here, you can expect no mercy from the unwritten laws of football. "As far as I'm concerned, there was nothing wrong with the third disallowed goal but we should have scored two or three by then. That's football I suppose."
The anger on Luis García's face was clear to see as he exited the International Stadium in Yokohama. The attacking midfielder headed past Ceni after 62 minutes only for the goal to be ruled out for offside. "Their goal in the first half hit us hard," lamented the Spaniard, one of his side's liveliest attackers on the day.
Sami Hyypia summed up the mood of the Liverpool camp in a single sentence: "We're disappointed because we failed to put our chances away."
It was left to Luis García to have the final word: "I don't think we made any mistakes. We controlled the game, made chances and had three goals disallowed. We showed what we're made of and we played well. It's a shame we haven't won the title after travelling so far."

This employee retention speaker and employee retention author sees employees falling into two categories, grinders or go getters. Some people have a little of both but tend to lean towards one or the other. Grinders are those people that come in and do a solid job, day in and day out. They are happy doing what they are doing, doing a good job and then going home at night. They don't have to be told to do things because they know what they have to do and do it. Go Getters want to advance, change things, are constantly coming up with new ideas and really want to make an impact. We often have the mindset that people who are grinders are disengaged, slacking off and not really committed to the organization. That' s ridiculous. We also tend to crave having all those go getters in our organizations with the illusion that they are somehow going to turn the organization into this marvelous nirvana where things get done as we sit back and drink coffee with our feet up on the desk.
This employee retention trainer has lots of friends who are grinders. My department tended to be filled with grinders when I was an HR leader. And you know what, we had one kick ass department. Things got done, people loved us, and we kept moving the ball forward and making money for the organization. The problem is that we often confuse grinders with people who are disengaged. That is where the leader comes in. If someone is in their role for a long time; which grinders often are, you have to find ways to challenge them so they stay energized and engaged. That is what a leader is there for…to lead…not just watch their people become vegetables.
This employee retention trainer also has friends who are go getters. I had them in my department when I was an HR leader as well. Same kickass department. Grinders and go getters coexisting together. These people had to be led as well. The challenge with them was to control their energy and to keep them headed in the proper direction. That is what a leader is there for…to lead…not have their people going off in all directions or getting irritated because you micromanage them.
Both groups offer a unique challenge when it comes to employee retention strategies. But, when done right they can both be incredible additions to an organization. So, if you want an engaged, energized and vibrant organization or department…LEAD THEM! If you lead them both the same way you will have a disaster and a revolving door. If you lead them all in unique ways that fit their needs, they will crank for you and you will have a high-performance organization. Grinders and Go Getters…they both bring great things to the table.
