CHART: January jobs report: US adds 157,000 jobs, unemployment rate goes to 7.9 percent
Daniel Vera, assistant manager at the Altadena Walmart Neighborhood Market, greets job seekers at the "Hiring Altadena" event.
The Labor Department released its January jobs report Friday. The country added 157,000 jobs for the month and the unemployment rate went to 7.9 percent from December's 7.8 percent.
In the words of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' economists, the situation was "essentially unchanged" from last month.
The 157,000 number was lower than what payrolls processor ADP reported earlier as well as what economists surveyed by Bloomberg were expecting. However, it was in line with the pace of job growth in the U.S. over the past 12 months.
The economy can tread water with sub-200,000-per-month job growth. To really drive the unemployment rate down to what economists call "full employment" — an unemployment rate of around 5 percent — the economy would need to add 300,000-to-400,000 new jobs each month.
January jobs preview: We could be facing an ugly number

Friday morning, the Labor Department will release its jobs report for January. I'll be up at the crack of dawn in Southern California to write up the numbers when they hit, so join me in the darkness with a big cup of coffee or three.
The current U.S. unemployment rate is 7.8 percent. Private payrolls processor ADP, which generates an employment report ahead of the Labor Department, said that the country added 192,000 jobs in January.
Economists surveyed by Bloomberg expect 185,000. Both numbers are higher than what we wound up getting, on a preliminary basis, from the official government data in December: 155,000.
If ADP and the Bloomberg economist brain trust are right, then we're off to a decent start for 2013 — although to really push the unemployment rate lower in a hurry, we need to add 300-400,000 new jobs each month.
San Bernardino is not having a very good week
Steven Cuevas / KPCC
As if bankruptcy weren't enough to deal with, San Bernardino is home to some of the highest unemployment and home foreclosure rates in the country, recent surveys say.
The Inland Empire city of San Bernardino declared bankruptcy last year. Now it's slogging through the Chapter 9 process, taking on CalPERS, the giant California pension fund, at the same time.
Sound like enough to keep one struggling municipality busy? Not quite. Two new reports indicate that the city's problems run deeper than just being broke.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Labor Department reported that what it calls the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario "metropolitan area" had the highest unemployment rate of all large U.S. cities in December: 10.9 percent. That's down from more than 12 percent in December 2011.
Meanwhile, real estate analytics firm RealtyTrac says the San Bernardino area had the second highest foreclosure rate in the U.S. last year: nearly 4 percent of homes there had a filing in 20-12.
CA unemployment rate holds steady at 9.8 percent in December
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
A job seeker pauses as he fills out an application during a job fair in Northern California.
California's unemployment was unchanged from November at 9.8 percent, the Labor Department reported Friday.
Since December 2011, however, California has experienced a substantial drop in its jobless rate, from 11.2 percent. Over that period, the state added 225,900 new jobs, second only to Texas, with 260,800.
So why didn't California's unemployment rate drop more in December? Because the state earned the dubious honor of losing the most jobs of any U.S. state: 17,500. This reverses a trend of California adding jobs at a decent clip, a highlight in an otherwise sluggish recovery.
California's unemployment rate remains a full two points higher than the nation's 7.8 percent.
In December 2012, sectors that shed jobs in significant numbers were professional and business services and trade, transportation, and utilities. Construction actually saw modest gains, an indication that the housing recovery in the state isn't losing momentum.
California adds jobs at a faster pace than the US, can look forward to a housing recovery
Paul Sakuma/AP
Construction workers build a home in Palo Alto, Calif. A real turnaround seemed to take hold in the housing sector in 2012 after years of fits and starts.
The U.S. added 155,000 new jobs in December, the Labor Department reports. But California and Los Angeles County have been adding jobs at a faster rate than the country as a whole — in an important industry: construction.
Through November, California added jobs at a 1.9 percent pace and L.A. County nearly matched that, at 1.8 percent. The U.S. is adding jobs at a 1.4 percent pace, said Kimberly Ritter-Martinez of the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation in an interview after the national jobs report surfaced Friday morning.
For December, the U.S. added 30,000 jobs in construction. That trend could benefit California, where Ritter-Martinez said she's seeing a looming housing shortage. She expects that a recovering housing market will be a source of growth in 2013. A number of economists and market observers already maintain that there's a housing inventory crunch in California, is driving up prices and inducing homebuilders to start nailing two-by-fours together again.

About Kyle Coffman
I started at Westminster in 2007 in the aviation program. After graduating, I became a flight instructor for the college and enjoy sharing what I know with people who are interested in the same subjects. My interest in aviation comes from my grandpa who would take me flying, and my favorite childhood movie The Rocketeer. I also love good stories whether it is in the form of movies, books or videogames. I especially enjoy science fiction and fantasy.

American Water has received two Business Achievement Awards from the Environmental Business Journal® (EBJ) and the Climate Change Business Journal® (CCBJ) for its sustainability innovations. The awards were presented in a ceremony at the Environmental Industry Summit 2014 this week in San Diego, Calif.
EMJ recognized American Water in its Industry Leadership category for the company's Innovation Development Process (IDP). The program tests new ideas, both from within the company and from business partners, to create greater efficiencies in strategic areas such as water reuse, desalination, wastewater operations, and bio-energy. Through the IDP, American Water is bringing new solutions and technologies to the marketplace. Since the program's inception in 2009, approximately 400 ideas were reviewed, and several have proceeded to pilot testing and the preparation of a business case.
Additionally, the CCBJ recognized American Water in the Technology Merit: Smart Grid & Energy Management category for expanding its relationship with ENBALA Power Networks to harness the flexibility of the company's demand-side assets and deliver grid balance to the electric power system. ENBALA's innovative technology manages the way treatment plants and pumps use power without impacting the efficiency of the plants' processes or operational costs. American Water's pilot study exhibited that the SCADA system could respond within seconds and the entire demand-response process was seamless to the water plant operator.
This is the fifth year American Water has received a Business Achievement Award. These awards annually recognize companies and executives for environmental achievements seen as outperforming the marke

Company, was elected to serve as President of NAWC in October 2013.
"Our companies continue to deliver a vital service to large populations every day and work to ensure the reliability of water infrastructure in addition to all other aspects of service delivery. It is an honor to share in this observance of World Water Day as we work together to ensure this fragile resource is never taken for granted," said Doll. "It's particularly fitting that this year's World Water Day theme is the relationship between water and energy as this reflects strategic initiatives in our company, having expanded beyond our suite of water, wastewater, contract operations, and ancillary services to include renewable energy as related to the water/energy nexus," added Doll.
A live webcast of the NASDAQ Closing Bell will be available at: http://www.nasdaq.com/about/marketsitetowervideo.asx. A video of the ceremony will also be posted on the Investor Relations section of Middlesex Water's website at www.middlesexwater.com following the ceremony.

"If a leader can't get a message across clearly and motivate others to act on it, then having a message doesn't even matter," Gilbert Amelio, former CEO of National Semiconductor and Apple Computer, once said.
In a Right Management Consultants survey of 133 organizations, 40% of managers and executives were found to exhibit strong leadership characteristics. However, of that 40%, fully one-third lacked the communication skills to effectively manage employees. In the business world, an effective leader needs to be a strong communicator. It is not enough to have vision; you must be able to communicate that vision to your employees.
Not surprisingly, effective communication skills topped the list of traits considered most valuable in a manager. In order of greatest importance, the following are the skills companies seek in a successful manager:
When you consider the best managers that you have known how do they measure on this list. The ability to lead is tied very closely to the ability to communicate and the ability to motivate others.

The Blues secured a draw against West Bromwich Albion courtesy of a late penalty, unable to make the most of our territorial dominance for much of the game, as shown by the statistics…
We had 17 attempts on goal, seven of which were on target, while West Brom hit the target with three of their 11 efforts.
As Jose Mourinho remarked in the post-match press conference, we dominated possession in the first half, so it comes as no surprise that we enjoyed a 67.8 per cent share of the ball during the game.
There was an unusually high number of free-kicks in the game. Eleven fouls were committed by Chelsea players, with the visitors responsible for 15.
Ten yellow cards were produced over the course of the 90 minutes; Frank Lampard, Samuel Eto'o and Branislav Ivanovic the Chelsea players booked by referee Andre Marriner.
Lampard finished the game having made more tackles than any other player with five.
In the attacking third of the pitch we completed 171 of our 228 attempted passes, while Steve Clarke's side made 56 from 92.
Eden Hazard was our saviour, scoring from the penalty spot right at the death, and the Belgian was the most accurate player on the pitch in the opposition half, completing 28 of his attempted 31 passes.
Ramires, meanwhile, the player responsible for winning that last-gasp spot-kick, made more successful passes than any other player.
We attempted to utilise the threat of Branislav Ivanovic on the right-hand side as often as possible, with Ramires completing 24 passes to the Serbian defender, the highest pass combination on the pitch.
After working ourselves into dangerous positions, we were let down by our final ball into the penalty area on a number of occasions, with only 5 of our 42 attempted crosses finding a blue shirt.

Online dating: what you see is not always what you get.
How many times have you made a spur of the moment or emotional purchase online? Its allure too appealing not to place it in your virtual shopping cart. You press submit and as the screen refreshes and a confirmation appears you grin knowing it's on its way.
Unless you paid extra for rush delivery for the next 5-7 days you excitedly wait and picture your purchase - a fancy dress on clearance, a pair of shoes you've been eyeing all winter, a fancy scarf. And then it arrives. Only it's nothing like the way it looked in the photos, and as you re-read the product description from your computer screen it doesn't seem to match up with that either! Even worse, all sales are final. Boo. You just wasted your money and are the recipient of a major retail let down.
I wonder if that even comes close to how people feel when they realize their guy or girl of their dreams was better online than in real life. Even worse - finding out that the person you fell for doesn't "exist," an occurrence that can be referred to as "catfishing."
With so many stories of catfishing being read across the Internet, it's a crazy reminder that what you see isn't always what you get, especially if you are seeing it by way of your computer screen.
People are lying about who they really are. This past Friday on television I watched several stories of people who had what they believed to be serious relationships formed online. Sadly they learned that the people they had fallen in love with weren't real, and instead were "characters" created by another person.
Related: 12 tips for creating an online dating profile that people will actually click on
To add to this is the fact that people are also claiming to be in relationships, but the person they are dating doesn't exist. Countless men and women have taken the notion of an imaginary friend to another level. According to Your Tango, people sometimes do this to seem appealing to potential mates or to feel better about their self-image.
With all this false advertisement going on in the Internet world the concept of online dating seems even scarier. Behind all those witty phrases paired with handsome head-shots on virtual profiles are people who are nothing like the person they are trying to appear to be. And unlike a bad shoe purchase, the sting of heartbreak or a blind date from hell are harder to forget.
These days so much appears better online. Sometimes even people.
Have you or someone you know ever fallen victim to catfishing? Why do you think people present themselves as someone else online? Do you think it is possible to fall in love with someone you have never met "in real life?"

I worked at Weight Watchers part-time for more than 10 years
Pros – The best part of this job is working with the members. You develop an investment in their success at the program. Nothing is more satisfying than seeing a member get to their goal weight. I also always enjoyed the other staff members I worked with.
Cons – The pay is very low. You are paid by the meeting, not by hours worked. Whether your meeting takes an hour and a half or two hours or more, your pay is the same. And good luck trying to make sense of your paycheck. In the 12+ years I worked there, I could never explain exactly how I was compensated. There is a set base pay plus commission on product sales and number of members in the meeting. But how that is figured never made any sense.
Receptionists must supply their own pot of money for making change, which means constant trips to the bank to get proper change, all uncompensated. In fact, many tasks expected from you are uncompensated, including checking email for communication from management and reading the staff web site for notices of sales and other communication from the company.
In an effort to save money in the last few years, job training has moved from face to face meetings to online webinars and computer based training. As a result, the quality of the training provided has gone downhill considerably.
Field staff are treated very poorly. You can be removed from any meeting you work without any notice at all. And not because you have done something wrong, but simply because they want to make a change. This seems to happen quite often. This job was not my main source of income, so this didn't affect me much when I was pulled from a meeting. But I saw this done to others who
were counting on the income from their meetings and they were definitely hurt by the loss of income.
Advice to Senior Management – Field staff should be listened to and treated with respect. Communicate better. Improve the training process so that new employees know what they are doing before they start working. Improve the website and the mobile apps. You have built your program to emphasize these things, and yet often they do not work properly, which frustrates members.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Diner Reviews
Went here with my husband for my
birthday. The waiter was perfect. Calamari, decent, well spiced and breaded, but could have been a bit larger pieces (I am a stickler when it comes to fried foods having more meat than breading). Seafood risotto, completely wonderful. Scallops were perfect and some of the best I have ever had. The sea bass was spiced and cooked very well. Shrimps were of a decent size and cooked to a buttery consistency. Rice and sauce was completely scrumptious. Lava cake was very light and fluffy. It could have been better without the salted caramel sauce (not a fan of salty deserts). The vanilla ice cream on the side was decent, but tasted better with the cake and chocolate sauce. Overall a wonderful meal!"

We decided to try the Forbes Mill
Steak House in celebration of a friend's birthday, and we were very pleased with every aspect of the night (except the very high price!). We do plan on returning, however, in spite of the high price because the food and atmosphere were so good."

The food is always wonderful and
the desserts are the best. They have kid friendly foods. We enjoy coming here for birthdays and anniversary celebrations."

The food was amazing our server
was rude and made me feel uncomfortable like he didn't think we should be there."

Everything was outstanding. My
Lobster was the best I have ever had."

My fiance and I are embarrassed
that we don't remember our server's name since he helped us alot with our first time experience at Forbe Mills Steakhouse. Our server was very attentive and very patient. We had questions regarding the food and wine list and he answered all of our questions in great detail. Only problem is that a good chunk of customers did not follow Forbes Mill's dress code. It completely affected the business/romantic atmostphere that the restaurant have."

dessert was great!!! Was second
try here - wanted to give them another chance, but not too happy!!"
Dined on 4/7/2014
We had the fixed price menu which
is an expensive fixed price, but this whole restaurant is tailored to expense accounts where nobody cares. The fixed price menu included a flight of 3 wines to go with each of the three (small) entrees: steak, lamb and fish. The salad was brought out almost immediately which told us it was sitting there ready to go; about 3 minutes later the wine flight showed up, including a chardonnay that would have to sit there for about 15 mins before we figured we would get to the entree. The only saving grace was the entree also showed up almost immediately so the wine didn't warm up too much (but not what you want). We were in and out and down $250 within an hour. We felt like we'd been had."
Dined on 4/3/2014
I've been to your restaurant in
the past and had one of the best ribeye I ever had so on my anniversary I wanted to return. When my steak arrived it was so difficult for me to cut into it with a steak knife due to all the tough strings in the meat and it was fatty and not enough marbling. I also ordered the Brussels sprouts as a side and it was burnt black. I don't know what the chef was thinking if that was ok to send to a table, hoping I wouldn't notice? The only great thing about our experience is that our server was great."
Dined on 4/5/2014
This was out first experience
dining at Forbes Mill and it was quite enjoyable. Food was very, very good, service was excellent. Loved Zac, the bartender. Very personable and friendly. The ladies at the front desk were very friendly and cordial. I would recommend this restaurant to all my friends. I liked the fact that the restaurant called to confirm our reservations, very nice touch. All in all, it topped off our evening with a very good start. Thank you"
Dined on 4/5/2014
We were greeted like royalty.
Loved our table. Adore the mood. From then on service was a bit spotty...kept having to ask for water and the waiter had to do it...don't know where the "water boys" were. My lamb was full of gristle. I thought it was sort of "cheesy" to charge me $2 for a bit of Bernaise Sauce for my steak. Desserts totally unforgettable. Out of six in the group, 4 were very happy. 2 of us were more ho-hum..Could be because we ordered the price-fixed dinner and should have stuck with the regular menu. Still, this is a restaurant where dinner was $100 per person, with drinks. I don't think it's worth it. I wrote a note for the restaurant, but exceeded characters allowed. Please advise me how to send along...or I summed it up."
Dined on 4/5/2014
Waiter took away my half eaten
salad without asking. Used plates were stacked in front of guests with prawn cocktail cup turned upside down. Food was great but services is not professional for the price range/class of this restaurant."
Dined on 4/4/2014
Well, over all every thing was
exceptional. From our dinner table to the end. We were seated at the half moon booth. Awesome. We were there for my son's 25th birthday. We've been here before and everything was over the top as expected. The hostess Danielle was so kind and pleasant. Our Host was very attentitive. The only reason I am rating this a 4 instead of 5 is because when we arrived home and receive a phone call from a family member to ask us "how was the wine that I sent to your table?" We didn't receive that expensive bottle that he sent. Miscommunications happen. It would have been a perfect touch though. That is the only reason I rated it a 4. Otherwise, this evening would easily be a 5. We had such a lovely evening!!!"
Dined on 2/22/2014
This is the second time my fiance
and I have been to Forbes Mill and both times they absolutely delivered. This previous Tuesday was my fiance's 30th birthday. I called ahead to make a reservation and they asked if it was a special occasion. When we arrived the restaurant, inside our menus was a special menu that had a personal happy birthday message to my fiance. We even got a complimentary dessert after our meal. Love this place!"
Dined on 4/1/2014
Food was very good in general,
scallop appetizer and filet were outstanding, wine list was decent. Our server was particularly slow even though the restaurant was not very busy, but he seemed to have plenty of time to hang out with the hostesses at the front of the restaurant instead of taking our order or refreshing our drinks. He was also not able to identify some of the components of the dish that he served to us, which was really disappointing given the high price tag for each menu item. Would I dine here again? Probably not. There are plenty of other restaurants to take out-of-town guests that know how to deliver exceptional service and food without the high price tag and superior attitude."
Dined on 3/28/2014
Food was prepared ok. I prefer
more seasoning than how the food was prepared."
Dined on 3/29/2014
I've been going here for years and
it is consistently an excellent restaurant. This particular time my GF and I each had the Ginger Soy Short Ribs. I want to be clear ... Forbes Mill's Short Ribs are the best Short Ribs anywhere. They are almost candy! Tender, tender, tender with a suite taste. Absolutely amazing. The only thing that is disappointing is they serve them only during the month of March ... it should be on their normal menu! Additionally, the only thing that is consistently not good about Forbes Mill are their desserts. Have an amazing meal and then go find dessert somewhere else. It's really their only weakness ... they need to hire a real pastry chef and make amazing treats, and then change/update the menu often."
Dined on 3/29/2014
I have not been to Forbes for
couple yrs and booked my bf's bday dinner as it's his favorite place for steaks. We had a private room and our waiter was extremely attentive and friendly. A few things did occur throughout the evening that made me question if I will return. We had the appetizer platter with ahi tuna, calamari and crab cakes. The star of the plate was the calamari, extra crispy! I ordered the rib eye, mac & cheese and creamed spinach for sides. My meal was ok, yes, I said ok. It was nothing spectacular and I'm left wondering if my taste buds have just evolved. I may give Forbes Mill another chance, but probably not any time soon. Which is just too bad as I really used to enjoy a nice meal there."
Dined on 3/29/2014
This restaurant is great for
special occasions. The food is delicious, although a bit pricey. The steaks were cooked perfectly. The sides were delicious, especially the roasted brussel sprouts. The wine list was lengthy and contained many wines unfamiliar to us. The waiter was very helpful in selecting a bottle of wine and we appreciated that he steered us to one of the less expensive bottles. The service was excellent with the meal nicely paced. The only negative is that the noise level in the restaurant can be a bit high. Having eaten there before, we requested a booth as we find that area of the restaurant to be a bit quieter."
Dined on 3/28/2014
Came for birthday celebration -
seated earlier than reservation, with personalized menu. Efficient service. We had appetizer of prawns (4) and crab cakes (2). Bottle of Pinot Noir 2012 Moshin Russian River $60 (prices range from 60-120). 24 oz. Porterhouse, NY strip medium rare with mashed, baked, and asparagus. Steaks tender, good size and thickness, flavorful, aged. Vegies were al dente - a little too much (same as last visit). Creme broulee, lava cake, and coffee for dessert. Bill with tip approx. $330. Nice dining room, quiet, pleasant bar area. Good steakhouse for a special occasion although can get pricey with bar bill, desserts, and ala carte items. Recommend."
Dined on 3/24/2014
Our family are regular diners at
Forbes Mill and last Friday we were excited to celebrate our daughter's 13th birthday at Forbes Mill. Unfortunately we had a very disappointing experience - our table was located in a strange ante-room which was completely void of any atmosphere, acoustic ceiling tiles were not quite the design we understood Forbes Mill to pride itself on. The food and service were lovely however we will hesitate to dine here again - more likely to dine somewhere with an atmosphere commensurate to the food and service. Previously we have booked directly with Forbes Mill- this is the first time we used Open Table. Unsure if there is a correlation here?"

Went on a Monday night for our
Anniversary (our 3rd time) and the food was delicious! Had the Beet salad, my husband had the Wedge salad, our plates went back empty. The seafood risotto was something I wanted to have, (on a previous visit my friend let me try hers). It was a very good portion with a lot of shrimp, scallops and fish, they were not skimpy on the seafood. My husband had the Dry aged NY, but still liked his bone-in rib eye better from our last visit. You can't go wrong with the cream spinach, much better that other high-end Steak Houses. Our server was the best, he knew exactly when to stop at our table with out hovering. His name was Alexander, and of course comp our dessert! This is a perfect spot for any Special Occasion."
Dined on 3/10/2014
Really excellent food... Steaks
done perfectly, sides and salads great....really good desserts and our waiter, Jim, was spot on."
Dined on 3/14/2014
Always superb! I have NEVER had a
bad meal there. Took my boyfriend to celebrate his birthday and neither of us were disappointed. He had the Wagyu Filet Mignon (that was like butter) and I had the surf and turf (6 oz Filet with 8 oz Australian Lobster tail). We were smiling ear to ear throughout the meal! We also did a split of two sides (mushrooms and brussels sprouts), but since our entrees came accompanied with au gratin potatoes and veggies, did not really need them. I always have the chocolate lava cake for dessert and am never disappointed. He did a Kona coffee creme brulee with macadamia nut biscotti that was divine. Impeccable service as well."
Dined on 3/8/2014
I have literally been going to
Forbes Mill since day one. It's a terrific restaurant that continues to get better ... albeit at a glacier like pace ... but that's ok because it started off great to begin with. The long ongoing weakness of Forbes Mill is apparently refuse to get a real pastry chef. So for all these years there desserts have been disappointing and nearly unchanged. So, once again I looked at the dessert menu too see if there was anything new ... there was a special but not something I'm interested in. Therefore, my GF and I opted for dessert somewhere else after our meal. But again, terrific steak house, with great sides ... and aside from dessert another great experience. Our waiter was particularly personable and nice."
Dined on 3/7/2014
This place is close to being
perfect, if you order the right meal. The steaks were cooked just right and came soon after the salads were finished. I would stay away from the Ribeye. Like a typical Ribeye it was a little chewy and fatty. OK if you bought it and cook yourself but not worth $40. The Filet was great. Don't bother with the sides unless you're really hungry. The wine list is very extensive but very pricy. Bring your own bottle to make the evening more affordable."
Dined on 3/9/2014
It wasn't worth the $200 I spent.
The food was good but the service was - well, I don't know what to call it. He just seemed a bit arrogant, was not engaging... I had the fruit cobbler for dessert and it was just way too dry and bland (too many oats on top). I felt like I was eating something healthy rather than a dessert. We had mojitos at the bar before dinner and the bartender was nice but the mojitos were kind of watery and the mint was not muddled. I just wasn't really overly impressed with anything here and definitely not for the price."
Dined on 3/4/2014
We had steaks for our anniversary
a rib eye and a filet mignon, and it was excellent! When u don't need any sauces to dress your steak and appreciate it for what it is, then you know it's good! I had leftovers the next day and it was yummy! Don't forget to order the crab cakes, au gratin potatoes and the chocolate torte!"
Dined on 3/3/2014
A hard to reserve place with great
steak and service. Was surprised to see families with kids at this high end restaurant, but it is Los Gatos ;) The service was great and would go back. They have an outstanding beer and wine list with many delicious items to compliment a fine dinner."

They personalize the menu for your
special occasion and computer dessert on a plate decorated with chocolate writing! Such a special touch!!!"
Dined on 2/28/2014
We love this restaurant. We have
eaten some very nice meals here..The food is always perfect. The service is good, they are very busy and sometimes this shows in the service but for the most part all the servers we have had have worked hard to be sure our experience is a good one. The parking can be difficult at high seasonal times. Be sure and leave enough time to accommodate a bit of a walk to the restaurant. The nice thing is the surrounding area is clean and easy to stroll."
Dined on 12/13/2013
Restaurant is known for the
steaks, and yes they are very good. I had the prefix dinner which included salmon. I have had better salmon in other restaurants."
Dined on 2/19/2014
We have dined at this restaurant
many times with success in regard to service and food. This evening was the exception in a negative way. To simplify, here is what happened: 1. Server came to table with pen and paper and asked if we wanted to order. 2. I said we would like a drink (wine/cocktail) 3. Ordered our drinks and our meals. I said we wanted to start with the calamari. 4. He delivered the calamari and 2 salads at the same time 5. I said we were not in a hurry and would like the calamari with our drinks and the salads later. 6. He said he would put them in the refrigerator for later. 7. Our salads came followed by our entrees. 8. Not one time did we see him or did he come by to ask us how our meal was. 9. He brought the check"
Dined on 2/21/2014
We owed close friends a special
meal and chose Forbes Mill because it is one of our favorites and new to our friends. Everything was perfect. Our waiter was excellent and the food unsurpassed. Our friends were impressed and said this is their new favorite restaurant. Dinner is expensive but for a special treat a Forbes Mill is perfect and worth the money."
Dined on 2/22/2014
I took my fiance here the night we
got engaged. Food and waitstaff were excellent. The steak was the best I've ever had and the lamb was superb. Very attentive waiter...it was nice to see the napkin folded neatly after coming from bathroom. It was a bit dark with all the blinds shut, could have used a touch more light. Memorable."
Dined on 2/16/2014
Just because we did not ordered
wine, we got ignored the whole time we were there. The hostess made stupid comment about my girlfriend weight, how rude! We've requested a nice, quiet spot, instead we got seated in the middle of the room? We sat at the table for at least 10 minutes of no one come to greet us. Finally the waiter walked by our table, didn't even stop and look at us and shout out he'll be with us in a minute (what kind of service is that?). Every course we had to wait at least 5-10 in between, the waiter spent more time at other tables than at our table. The waiter only address and made eyes contact with me, he totally ignored my girlfriend, what culture does that make it ok? I would NEVER recommend this place to ANYONE."
Dined on 2/15/2014
Lovely and elegant from the warm
cordial greeting at the door to professional service & delicious meal. They even adjusted appetizer due to my food allergy. Tim (manager) was attentive without hovering-enjoyable conversations. Tim (server) was thoroughly professional with impeccable timing. Due to illness this was my VALENTINE DINNER and worth rescheduled date."
Dined on 2/17/2014
This resturaunt was great however
very expensive. Dinner for two with appetizer and dessert and no alcohol was a little over $200. So unless you got money I would recommend this as a once a year special occasion place. Very good food, very good wait staff. Tables could have been more secluded as there were only about 4 booths the rest were 4 person square tables."

The Board of Education met in the evening for its work session and a special meeting. Superintendent Claire Dryden told the board members they would be receiving information about a budget amendment for their next meeting on Monday. Board chairman Dana Turner asked how the recently passed education budget would affect the school system.
The school system lost some money it previously used to pay teachers and it will have to dip into the general fund and use grant money to maintain those positions, Dryden said.
In addition, she told the board members the system would be hiring more teachers and support personnel for the coming school year than it had for the school year that just ended.
The system will be hiring an additional math teacher for Ranburne High School, a half-day social studies teacher at Cleburne County High School and half-day teacher at the alternative school as well as a college and career readiness coach and a facilities manager, Dryden said.
The school system will also be able to rehire all but one of the teacher aides it had cut, she told the members.
"Because we've had people retire, change, resign," Dryden said. "So, we'll have a net gain on the people we'll employ and we'll have smaller class sizes in math and science at Cleburne County High School and at Ranburne."
The board spent the bulk of the evening in an executive session for which it gave no reason. Superintendent Claire Dryden did produce a letter from the board attorney saying the matters to be discussed were appropriate for executive session.
The board had three people speak to them during the executive session: Bobby Ray Green, who is the grandparent of a student, according to Dryden; Jonathan Pollard and teacher Matt Smith. When the board came back into its regular meeting it took no action and went directly into the work session.

Dusit Thani Pattaya
Staff Day 2011 held for a good cause
Dusit Thani Pattaya held its annual Staff Day on 12-13 October 2011 with another aim in mind – to raise money for the flood victims in Thailand. Sports Day was part of the two-day occasion and the staff and management was divided into teams that competed against each other in various fun games and performances held at the Napalai Ballroom. On the second night, more shows were presented to the audience that included hotel guests who willingly offered to sponsor lucky draw prizes and partook of the food and refreshments as well as fun games under the theme, 'Thai Temple Fair'. Proceeds of the game and other activities amounted to over THB 13,000 which was donated to the flood victims in Thailand.
The resort has always upheld the annual tradition in its desire to boost the morale of everyone as well as provide both the staff and management the time to mingle with their colleagues outside of the work atmosphere and engage themselves in activities that also require team cooperation and great camaraderie.
The entire staff and management of Dusit Thani Pattaya led by

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to compare the use of 3TC or FTC alone vs. continuing a failing HAART regimen in HIV infected children, adolescents and young adults. The study will see if there are changes in the HIV virus and if there is a difference in immune function, viral load and medication side effects between the two groups over 28 weeks. The child will be assigned to either take 3TC/FTC alone or continue on his/her current failing HAART regimen. During the first 28 weeks of this study, if the child is randomized to the continue HAART arm, he/she will not be switched to a different or new, potentially suppressive HAART regimen, but will continue on the current failing HAART regimen. However, if continuing HAART, the child may be switched to a new regimen if the child's provider feels that it is clinically needed or the child meets certain study endpoints (e.g., drop in CD4, increase in viral load).
At the end of 28 weeks, the child will have the choice of remaining on the assigned study group medication(s) or starting a new HAART regimen prescribed by his/her doctor. Then, the child will be followed for another 24 weeks to see if there are changes in the child's virus and to compare the difference in immune function, viral load and medication side effects between the different groups.

|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Arm A, non-suppressive HAART regimen
In Step 1, subjects will be randomized to continue their non-suppressive HAART regimen.
In Step 2, subjects will either begin a new HAART regimen, continue randomized treatment, or discontinue therapy while remaining on follow-up, as decided by their provider.

Other Name: Highly active antiretrovial therapy (HAART)
Active Comparator: Arm B, 3TC or FTC monotherapy
In step 1, subjects will be randomized to receive 3TC or FTC (the choice of 3TC or FTC will be left to the provider).
In Step 2, subjects will either begin a new HAART regimen, continue randomized treatment, or discontinue therapy while remaining on follow-up, as decided by their provider.
Drug: 3TC or FTC monotherapy
The study participant will be assigned to either 3TC/FTC monotherapy (the choice of 3TC or FTC will be left to the provider.

Detailed Description:
Currently, there is no clear consensus for managing virologic failure. Generally, failure of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based therapy due to non-adherence is associated with high rates of NNRTI resistance, while failure of protease inhibitor (PI)-based therapy due to non-adherence carries a much lower risk of PI resistance. In the setting of incomplete adherence and virologic failure despite adherence education, an optimal strategy would be one that effectively bridges the period between the cessation of the failing regimen of highly active ARV therapy (HAART) and initiation of a new HAART regimen. This would provide time for interventions to improve adherence to be effective while minimizing accumulation of additional drug resistance mutations. Given the compelling need for an effective bridging strategy, the limited evidence for the safety and efficacy of this bridging regimen, and the high level of acceptability of studying 3TC or FTC monotherapy as an effective alternative, P1094 is proposing to conduct a randomized clinical trial (RCT) comparing use of 3TC or FTC monotherapy as a short-term bridging regimen vs. continuation of non-suppressive HAART in non-adherent subjects.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|8 Years to 24 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Step 1 Inclusion Criteria:
- Age greater than or equal to 8 to less than 25 years of age, at study entry
- Documentation of HIV-1 infection defined as positive results from two samples collected at different time points
- Treatment experienced patients must demonstrate failure on the current HAART regimen for 2 months or longer. These patients must have been on ARVs for at least a total of 6 months prior to entry. Thus, if the failing regimen is the first ARV regimen, then the patient must have been on that initial regimen for a minimum of 6 months total.
- CD4+ T cell count greater than or equal to 100 cells/mm3 (confirmed on at least two occasions within 6 months of study entry, including the screening value)
- Documentation of the M184V mutation on genotypic testing at any time prior to study entry
- In the best judgment of the clinical site team, concerns about the subject's ability to adhere makes it unsuitable to initiate a new optimal HAART regimen for at least 6 months.
- Subject has not become adherent despite site's adherence interventions
- Female subjects of reproductive potential who engage in sexual activity that could lead to pregnancy must agree to avoid pregnancy during the entire 52 week trial and to consistently and appropriately use at least two of the following contraception methods: condoms, diaphragm or cervical cap with spermicide, IUD, hormonal-based contraception. A list of acceptable methods can be found at the FDA Birth Control Guide (http://www.fda.gov/womens).

- Current treatment for active systemic TB. If recent, infection must have completed treatment course. INH treatment for latent TB is allowed.
- Viral load greater than 250,000 copies/mL at screening.
- Known greater than or equal than Grade 3 of any of the following laboratory toxicities within 30 days prior to study entry: neutrophil count, hemoglobin, platelets, AST, ALT, lipase, serum creatinine. Note: Subjects can be re-screened and enrolled if repeat value is less than Grade 3 without signs or symptoms of related organ dysfunction.
- Known greater than or equal to Grade 4 laboratory toxicities within 30 days prior to study entry, except with approval of the study team.
- For subjects who are not currently taking 3TC or FTC: Documented prior intolerance or adverse effect reasonably attributed to 3TC or FTC that resulted in permanent discontinuation.

Seoul, Korea (July 18, 2012) —
Yesterday, 48 Korean students were awarded TOEFL® and TOEIC® scholarships at the fourth annual ETS Scholarship Program in Seoul, Korea. Valued at approximately US $144,000, the scholarships recognized the academic excellence of Korean students and will assist them in achieving their educational and career goals in Korea or overseas.
"After four years, we are pleased to continue the ETS Scholarship Program here in Seoul," commented Chuck Melley, ETS's Executive Director of Government & External Relations. "Honoring the academic excellence of Korean students aligns directly with ETS's nonprofit mission to advance the quality of education worldwide. We wish these exemplary students all the best in their education and future careers."
Of the 24 TOEFL scholarships awarded, 12 scholarships, each valued at US$3,000, were presented to students pursuing a bachelor's degree in Korea. The remaining 12 TOEFL US$3,000 scholarships were awarded to students studying abroad for either undergraduate or graduate school. In addition, 24 US$3,000 TOEIC scholarships recognized students studying in Korea.
Since its inception in 2009, 120 scholarships worth approximately US$432,000 have been awarded through the ETS Scholarship Program.
The TOEFL and TOEIC tests are two of the most widely accepted English-language based assessments worldwide. The TOEFL test is recognized by over 8,500 colleges, universities and agencies in more than 130 countries. To date, more than 27 million students around the world have taken the TOEFL test.

I thought I'd bring some closure to this with a "reveal."
Disconnecting the "extra red/black" wires solved the problem of the lights turning themselves on, but it was very unsatisfying not knowing where those wires went and what they did. I borrowed a toner generator and inductive amplifier from a friend in an effort to trace these down. Attached is a photo of "culprit:" an X10 switch located in a corner of the courtyard.
The wall switch in the courtyard is only 20 feet away from this X10, but I've got a hunch why it's there. This spot in the courtyard was where the hot tub used to be. I'm guessing this was so you could turn on the courtyard lights while you were in the hot tub. Or, maybe more accurately, turn OFF the courtyard lights! The architect who built and lived in this house for 30 years would have been mid-40's when it was built in 1979. I'm guessing this house has seen some shagadelic hot tub parties in it's time. On a side note (but related to shagadelic): I've got all the original plans for the house, which included a fairly complex solar hot water system. I cracked up when I finally figured out what the pump marked WB was for... that was the solar hot water for the water bed!
I'm totally unfamiliar with how these X10 devices work, but I assume it either has a timer component that started turning on randomly or a short. Thanks to all for the feedback.
Some of the X10 stuff is good, Some not so much.
The X10 replacement light switches have a bad habit of getting SCR damage.
They trigger on / off or get stuck on, Shorted or partial shorted.
Appliance modules seem to be much more reliable, because they use a relay and are not Dim-able.
Besides the faults triggers of the X10 stuff, They are a lot better than they use to be. IE RCA/RS
I am definitely not a pro plumber, but I am a pro crastinator
Originally there was probably a photocell in that outside box.

When Radio Shack® sold them they were not very reliable.
I have found the newer X10® stuff to be a bit better.

Nampa >Restaurants > Outback Steakhouse
2011 W Karcher Rd, Nampa, ID | Directions 8365143.604524 -116.606174
M-Th 4pm-10pm, F 4pm-11pm, Sa 11am-11pm, Su 11am-9pm
I don't go to any Outbacks any more. They blast their music so that you can't visit with the people you are dining with. They just want you to eat fast and get out.
Outstanding service – I must have had 5 servers. Terrific prime rib. Rolls are boring. Salad is boring. Wine is sour. Coffee is like the dregs.. but... the chocolate desert with vanilla ice cream is incredible. Incredible.
Skip the bread, coffee, salad and wine.. but DO try the prime rib with some tiger dill sauce on the side. Send the meat back if it's not cooked enough or too salty, the cooks you can't see aren't interested that you want rare or well done. Medium can mean absolutely anything.. probably whatever is the easiest to slice... but the quality of beef is outstanding.
This particular Outback steakhouse is a "pass". – I've eaten at this particular outback more times than I can remember. Have been for years. Being Nampa's only Steakhouse (as of this writing) there really aren't many other choices. Most Outback steakhouses I've visited across the country serve a pretty good product. I always order the same thing so I am talking specifically about their "Outback Special". I love the seasoning that they use! Unfortunately, most of the time this particular Outback serves a very poor steak. To be fair, the restaurant is very nice, well maintained, and the management is always willing to try to make things right. I've had so many poor steaks there that it simply doesn't make up for it. I'd have to say that I'm off of this particular Outback for awhile.
It sucks – I whent to this place and had no wait. Sat down and all of the sudden the both next to us was complaing about there beer been flat. Another booth by us was complaining about there food bening over done. We haven't even ordered yet. The Mrs. wanted to go and I said to give them a chance.
Well, I ordered Prime rib, I got it room temp and it was over way cooked and too too salty. And I didn't even get my salad. The Mrs. ordered a house stake and it came to us burnt with no salad. My little girl had the chicken strip dinner and the table would have ben ezer to eat and the fries were not done..
We finaly got our drinks after we have ben served and of course they were flat. The waiter that brought us our drinks asked if everything was all right we bolth said NO.. the waiter responed O, and that was it. he came back with the bill I took it to the front desk, and was asked again was it was ok I said NO it was not. Again O that sucks...
The Lady at the front (where you pay at) asked us if we wanted to take it home and I said HELL no.. And just replied O well that will be 65 buck.. The Manager was there the entire time i was talking to this lady..
Well long story short, always listen to the Mrs.
We will never and I mean never go to that place again.
But to leave on a positive note the decor was nice.
Australian tchotchkes and brews give this quintessentially American restaurant a distinctive Down Under flavor. – In Short
Boomerangs, Aussie flags, kangaroo portraits and faux aboriginal art honor the homeland's wilderness, but Outback delivers a polished version of rusticity with varnished blond-wood booths with matching wainscoting and casually uniformed waitstaff. Besides more than a half-dozen cuts of steak, diners can pick from large-portioned entrees like ribs, chops and shrimp or chicken "on the barbie." The Bloomin' Onion, a large onion dipped in batter and deep-fried, is an appetizer with a following.

I prefer plastic and ABS for restaurants, at least for in the bar. Copper perforates after a while in those locations.
I went to a restaurant last week and had to rebuild the drain on their bar sink which drains into a floor drain.
It was 1-1/2" copper with tight 90's and no clean outs. The bartenders keep dropping straws down the drain and clogging them. And there is no easy way to repair.
I rebuilt the drain long sweeps, clean outs etc.... All good but I used ABS pipes.
Now that I've walked home and am thinking about it I wonder, about half of the restaurants seem to have copper, and the other half ABS.
Just because they use ABS does not mean that it's valid.....

Thanks Mike

SHOULD BE? Why? I have not used a single piece of PVC DWV pipe or fittings in the 40 years I have been in this area, but HAVE installed many commercial and bar sinks using ABS.
Correction. I did use PVC for a laboratory sink drain because they were using chemicals that melted ABS but not PVC.

The hood is the hinged cover that protects your classic's engine and allows for easy maintenance and repair. In addition to the protection, the hood sets the style for the rest of the car to follow. This fiberglass hood is a stinger-style model. Whether you need this hood's extra clearance to make room for an obscene power plant or you just want to use its rugged, aggressive style to intimidate your enemies, this hood has you covered. It is constructed of fiberglass for added performance and flair. Molded fiberglass parts allow for sleeker shapes and curves, increased gas mileage, and a more performance-oriented part.

These are made of the finest automotive grade resins, 1-1/2 oz. mat (3 layers) and 21 mils of soft-sanding gelcoat. Stinger Fiberglass panels are wave-free because of the heavily reinforced molds which are allowed to cure 24 hours before the hoods are pulled from the molds.
