Lots of stuff!
This is a pretty neat set. Our 3 year old son received this as a CHRISTMAS gift, and has been playing with it ever since. It's now February, and he seems to play with some or all of the pieces nearly everyday. He's pretty rough on the stuff, and it has held up well. Over all we are very happy with this set.

I really dislike the overlapping ships rule how u have to move back again and dont get to complete you full move. The canceling of your action is a result of bases overlapping like this is way too harsh in my opinion and i think how this rule stands it actually penalizes the better pilots that move last in the round as they r now faced with more ships to collide with that were not in their flightpath at the beginning of the turn!
In a game I just played i was Vader and there were 2 or 3 occasions where i was unable to complete my move because a ship was blocking my path and as a result i overlapped them and lost my actions for the turn!
I would like to see a rule like:
Both overlapping ships roll 1 defense dice. If they successfully roll an evade icon then they get to do an action as normal. Pilots with Expert Handling pilot skill would get 2 defense die.
I also think that many incidences like the one described can be avoided by allowing ALL SHIPS TO MOVE SIMULTANEOUSLY. Actions should sill be selected according to pilot skill/agility as normal with the worst pilot selecting their actions first. I realize this will give all pilots information to plan which action they will take, however actions like barrel rolling will still allow for end of turns tricks to assist top pilots in out manouvring the enemy WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT loss of actions do to REPEATED COLLISIONS. Pilots selecting actions later in the round or last in the round will still have a sizeable advantage as they can still plan their action knowing all other players actions.

Over the past several decades, the United States Congress and various Presidents have imposed numerous regulatory analysis requirements on administrative agencies in connection with their rulemaking activities. Some of these requirements are relatively sweeping measures designed to ensure that agencies' regulations advance legitimate goals, such as Executive Order (EO) 12,866's requirement that executive agencies analyze the...
Review of Regulatory Analysis Requirements
Project Stages:
1. Gather ideas - Completed2. Select ideas - Completed
3. Council approval - Completed
4. Picking a researcher - Completed
5. Committee consideration - Completed
6. Back to the council - Completed
7. Consideration by the full conference - Completed
8. Implementation - Current
Background: Agencies wishing to promulgate regulations face an array of procedural requirements. In addition to the basic notice-and-comment requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act, see 5 U.S.C. § 553, agencies are subject to numerous analysis requirements imposed by other statutes or by executive order. For example, in appropriate cases, agencies must prepare a cost-benefit analysis, see Executive Orders 12,866, 13,563; a regulatory flexibility analysis, see 5 U.S.C. § 603; a federalism impact statement, see Executive Order 13,132; analyses required by the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act, see 2 U.S.C. §§ 1532, 1535; an environmental impact statement, see 42 U.S.C. § 4332; and an evaluation of the rule's environmental health, and safety effects on children, see Executive Order 13,045. The Conference has undertaken to study this array of regulatory analysis requirements.
Research Methodology: The Conference's consultant, Curtis Copeland, examined whether there is any duplication in the required analyses that could be eliminated in a way that would produce cost savings and whether or not the requirements could otherwise be rationalized or streamlined while continuing to serve their valuable goals. He considered the costs and benefits of the required analyses and assessed whether the required analyses are performed accurately. In connection with his research, Mr. Copeland reviewed the scholarly literature, conducted a series of structured interviews with agency officials, and engaged in a detailed examination of selected regulatory analyses.
Additional Information: The Regulatory Analysis project was initially assigned to the Committee on Rulemaking, which held a meeting on November 14, 2011 to discuss the scope of the project (the documents from that meeting are posted below). The project was thereafter re-assigned to the Committee on Regulation, which conducted two meetings in connection with the Regulatory Analysis project. At the first meeting, which occurred on Wednesday, April 4, 2012, the Committee on Regulation considered Mr. Copeland's report and a set of draft recommendations based thereon. At the second meeting, which took place on Thursday, May 3, 2012, the Committee on Regulation approved a draft recommendation. The Council approved the draft recommendation with certain revisions, and the full Assembly of the Conference voted to approve the recommendation at its Plenary Session on June 14, 2012. All relevant documents connected with the Plenary Session and committee meetings are posted below.
Final Recommendation
At its 56th Plenary Session on June 14-15, 2012, the Administrative Conference adopted Recommendation 2012-1, Regulatory Analysis Requirements. This recommendation addresses the issue of agencies having to comply with numerous regulatory analysis requirements created by statute and executive orders. The recommendation is supported by an extensive report which includes an appendix charting all of the regulatory analysis requirements of the 100 major rules subject to OMB review in 2010. The goal of the recommendation is to ensure agencies fulfill the regulatory analysis requirements efficiently, and to enhance the transparency of the process. Agencies, the Congress, the President and OIRA at OMB are all encouraged to play a role in this effort.

49ers DT Justin Smith has to deal with the pain until only Sunday
BY ADAM L. JAHNS firstname.lastname@example.com January 31, 2013 6:50PM
NEW ORLEANS, LA - JANUARY 29: Alex Smith #11 of the San Francisco 49ers answers questions from the media during Super Bowl XLVII Media Day ahead of Super Bowl XLVII at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on January 29, 2013 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Updated: March 2, 2013 11:50AM
NEW ORLEANS — The pain is tolerable, but the brace 49ers defensive tackle Justin Smith has to wear on his left arm after tearing a triceps tendon is unbearable.
He hates it, but he'll deal with it for Super Bowl XLVII.
"There are things to do about the pain, so I really don't feel the pain during the game," said Smith, who was hurt in Week 15 and missed two games but returned in the playoffs. "The brace definitely limits you.
"I don't like the brace. It's just weird. It's cumbersome, but a lot of guys play with leg braces, elbow braces, shoulder braces, torn labrums. You know we have a lot of guys playing with torn stuff."
Smith is holding off surgery until after Sunday.
"I think they just get in there and sew it back down," he said. "[They] reattach the tendon, sew it in, and [I] start my rehab."
The 6-4, 285-pound Smith is crucial to the 49ers' typically stout defense. He eats up blocks and allows others such as linebacker Aldon Smith, who was voted the team's most valuable player, to do what they do best. Aldon Smith had 191/2 sacks, but none when Smith was out.
"He's a guy that draws a lot of attention," Aldon Smith said. "He's a great player and a Pro Bowl guy. With that, if they're doubling him, they might single me up."
In a long news conference full of stories, Jack and Jackie Harbaugh suggested they might be doing more consoling than partying after their sons face each other in the Super Bowl.
"One thing I do think about is after the game, there's going to be one winner, and there's going to be one who is totally disappointed," Jack Harbaugh said. "My thoughts are to go to that room that is not experiencing the thrill of victory."
The Harbaughs said they had a practice run last season when John's Ravens beat Jim's 49ers on Thanksgiving.
"We saw Jim all by himself in his room [after the game]," Jack Harbaugh said. "He was still in his coaching outfit. His head was down in his hands.
''You just looked into his eyes, and you realized this is where you were needed as a parent."
52 on 52
Niners standout linebacker Patrick Willis wears No. 52 just like Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, but Willis won't exactly say it's because of the future Hall of Famer.
"This is a 49ers jersey, and this is my number," Willis said. "I have all the respect in the world for Ray. When I chose this number, it was the best number they had at the time. When I was drafted, they asked me if I wanted 51, 57, 59 or 52. I didn't want any of those other numbers, and 52 was the best number, I felt. I'm an even-number guy.
"Then I said to myself, 'Why don't I get the No. 52? I know a guy right now who wears that number who is one of the best. It will be a great number to play up to.' That's kind of how it came about."

The sons of Noah, of Japheth, of Ham. (1-7) Nimrod the first monarch. (8-14) The descendants of Canaan, The sons of Shem. (15-32)
Verses 1-7 This chapter shows concerning the three sons of Noah, that of them was the whole earth overspread. No nation but that of the Jews can be sure from which of these seventy it has come. The lists of names of fathers and sons were preserved of the Jews alone, for the sake of the Messiah. Many learned men, however, have, with some probability, shown which of the nations of the earth descended from each of the sons of Noah To the posterity of Japheth were allotted the isles of the gentiles; probably, the island of Britain among the rest. All places beyond the sea from Judea are called isles, ( Jeremiah 25:22 ) . That promise, ( Isaiah 42:4 ) , The isles shall wait for his law, speaks of the conversion of the gentiles to the faith of Christ.
Verses 8-14 Nimrod was a great man in his day; he began to be mighty in the earth, Those before him were content to be upon the same level with their neighbours, and though every man bare rule in his own house, yet no man pretended any further. Nimrod was resolved to lord it over his neighbours. The spirit of the giants before the flood, who became mighty men, and men of renown, ( Genesis 6:4 ) , revived in him. Nimrod was a great hunter. Hunting then was the method of preventing the hurtful increase of wild beasts. This required great courage and address, and thus gave an opportunity for Nimrod to command others, and gradually attached a number of men to one leader. From such a beginning, it is likely, that Nimrod began to rule, and to force others to submit. He invaded his neighbours' rights and properties, and persecuted innocent men; endeavouring to make all his own by force and violence. He carried on his oppressions and violence in defiance of God himself. Nimrod was a great ruler. Some way or other, by arts or arms, he got into power, and so founded a monarchy, which was the terror of the mighty, and bid fair to rule all the world. Nimrod was a great builder. Observe in Nimrod the nature of ambition. It is boundless; much would have more, and still cries, Give, give. It is restless; Nimrod, when he had four cities under his command, could not be content till he had four more. It is expensive; Nimrod will rather be at the charge of rearing cities, than not have the honour of ruling them. It is daring, and will stick at nothing. Nimrod's name signifies rebellion; tyrants to men are rebels to God. The days are coming, when conquerors will no longer be spoken of with praise, as in man's partial histories, but be branded with infamy, as in the impartial records of the Bible.
Verses 15-32 The posterity of Canaan were numerous, rich, and pleasantly seated; yet Canaan was under a Divine curse, and not a curse causeless. Those that are under the curse of God, may, perhaps, thrive and prosper in this world; for we cannot know love or hatred, the blessing or the curse, by what is before us, but by what is within us. The curse of God always works really, and always terribly. Perhaps it is a secret curse, a curse to the soul, and does not work so that others can see it; or a slow curse, and does not work soon; but sinners are reserved by it for a day of wrath Canaan here has a better land than either Shem or Japheth, and yet they have a better lot, for they inherit the blessing. Abram and his seed, God's covenant people, descended from Eber, and from him were called Hebrews. How much better it is to be like Eber, the father of a family of saints and honest men, than the father of a family of hunters after power, worldly wealth, or vanities. Goodness is true greatness.
Genesis 10:1-32 . GENEALOGIES.
1. sons of Noah--The historian has not arranged this catalogue according to seniority of birth; for the account begins with the descendants of Japheth, and the line of Ham is given before that of Shem though he is expressly said to be the youngest or younger son of Noah; and Shem was the elder brother of Japheth ( Genesis 10:21 ), the true rendering of that passage.
generations, &c.--the narrative of the settlement of nations existing in the time of Moses, perhaps only the principal ones; for though the list comprises the sons of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, all their descendants are not enumerated. Those descendants, with one or two exceptions, are described by names indicative of tribes and nations and ending in the Hebrew im, or the English "-ite."
5. the isles of the Gentiles--a phrase by which the Hebrews described all countries which were accessible by sea ( Isaiah 11:11 , 20:6 , Jeremiah 25:22 ). Such in relation to them were the countries of Europe, the peninsula of Lesser Asia, and the region lying on the east of the Euxine. Accordingly, it was in these quarters the early descendants of Japheth had their settlements.
6. sons of Ham--emigrated southward, and their settlements were: Cush in Arabia, Canaan in the country known by his name, and Mizraim in Egypt, Upper and Lower. It is generally thought that his father accompanied him and personally superintended the formation of the settlement, whence Egypt was called "the land of Ham" [ Psalms 105:23 Psalms 105:27 , 106:22 ].
8. Nimrod--mentioned as eclipsing all his family in renown. He early distinguished himself by his daring and successful prowess in hunting wild beasts. By those useful services he earned a title to public gratitude; and, having established a permanent ascendancy over the people, he founded the first kingdom in the world [ Genesis 10:10 ].
10. the beginning of his kingdom--This kingdom, of course, though then considered great, would be comparatively limited in extent, and the towns but small forts.
11. Out of that land went forth Asshur--or, as the Margin has it, "He [Nimrod] at the head of his army went forth into Assyria," that is, he pushed his conquests into that country.
and builded Nineveh--opposite the town of Mosul, on the Tigris, and the other towns near it. This raid into Assyria was an invasion of the territories of Shem, and hence the name "Nimrod," signifying "rebel," is supposed to have been conferred on him from his daring revolt against the divine distribution.
21. Unto Shem--The historian introduces him with marked distinction as "the father of Eber," the ancestor of the Hebrews.
23. Aram--In the general division of the earth, the countries of Armenia, Mesopotamia, and Syria, fell to his descendants.
24. Arphaxad--The settlement of his posterity was in the extensive valley of Shinar, on the Tigris, towards the southern extremity of Mesopotamia, including the country of Eden and the region on the east side of the river.
25. Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided--After the flood ( Genesis 11:10-16 ) the descendants of Noah settled at pleasure and enjoyed the produce of the undivided soil. But according to divine instruction, made probably through Eber, who seems to have been distinguished for piety or a prophetic character, the earth was divided and his son's name, "Peleg," was given in memory of that event (see Deuteronomy 32:8 , Acts 17:26 ).
32. These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations, &c.--This division was made in the most orderly manner; and the inspired historian evidently intimates that the sons of Noah were ranged according to their nations, and every nation ranked by its families, so that every nation had its assigned territory, and in every nation the tribes, and in every tribe the families, were located by themselves.

4 Cylinder or V6 Ford Escape?
I plan to order a 2009 escape soon. I currently drive a 2006 xlt awd escape. I've read that the new 2.5 4 cyl is much improved, close to the current v6 in performance. Any thoughts on this?

baraboodad Posts: 20I drove an 09 Merc Mariner yesterday, and a 09 Escape today, both I4's. Very peppy. Revs a bit to take off quick, but digs in and goes. and I averaged about 22mpg with just city driving for the test drives, and that was getting on it pretty good, and with A/C on. (I bought the Escape version because Mariner doesn't come in Sport Blue.)
baraboodad Posts: 20Cool - how long did your dealer tell you it would be?
I wanted an AWD I4, blue with leather interior, none available yet, so ordered yesterday. Was told will take 6-8 weeks. (This is presuming the hybrid 09 Escape they ordered for me isn't coming by then, in which case I'll take that, and they'll sell the blue one.)

johnnyvegas Posts: 8I see ton's on dealer lots here in Southern California. have never owned a Ford, heck never owned an american car (Honda/Bmw/Toyota/Lexus) but have driven several as I get a new company car every two years. I just ordered and received the 2009 Ford Escape XLT 4WD with V6 and 6 speed trans. It is charcoal gray (They call it black pearl) and has the dark charcoal interior. A co-worker has a 2006 and it was loud, bouncy and gutless. Even witht he V6. This new one is MUCH BETTER. Much more impressive. It has nice shifting, smooth power and the suspension seems much improved. I expect it will soften and get crappy as I rack up the miles, but for now, it's nice. I would never own a Ford or Chevy mainly because of the resale value and maintenance costs, compared to imports is sooooo bad, but if you like these, for now it seems a good choice, bad investment. MSRP 28950??? No way. My company paid $19850 delivered. We ordered it direct from Ford in June and it arrived 9/12. They closed the plant for 3 weeks from the 4th of July holiday. I have 1020 miles on it in 9 days of driving.

johnnyvegas Posts: 8explorerx4 The reason I posted in more than 1 is that I do not think everyone reads each column. Also they are all a bit different. As for the maintenance concerns, heck it's a Ford. Thats why I am concerned. Ford historically is bad. That's why it and GM and Chrysler are dieing. Toyota and Honda are thriving.

As part of Keep America Beautiful's Great American Cleanup, county government and a handful of partners will again host Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on March 2 at the Tri-State Exhibition Center, which is located at Interstate 75 Exit 20, in McDonald.
The collection program is tailored to allow Bradley County homeowners the opportunity to safely, and responsibly, dispose of household toxic wastes. HHWCD was created, according to KAB, to provide an outlet for the proper disposal of toxic substances, many of which are extremely dangerous to the environment.
All Bradley County residents are eligible to use this free service.
However, certain guidelines apply.
"Residents who plan to participate in the program need to be aware of more stringent packaging requirements," said Cheryl Dunson, vice president of marketing at Santek Waste Services, KAB board member and the HHWCD event coordinator. "We're asking residents to place greater emphasis and care on how they package their wastes for transportation. During last year's spring event, we had several incidents in which wastes were haphazardly thrown into the trunks of vehicles or garbage cans. This created extra work for our volunteers, and made for some unsafe and dangerous conditions for everyone involved in unloading the wastes and preparing them for disposal."
Wastes must be properly labeled and packaged in cardboard boxes or plastic containers. Empty paint cans will not be accepted since they can be disposed of in regular household waste. Lead-acid batteries and oil should be taken to the Bradley County Landfill, which accepts those waste streams throughout the year.
"Our goal is to provide a safe working environment for not only residents who take advantage of the event, but for our volunteers and contractor," Dunson said.
Items that can be accepted include:
- Automotive and marine products, such as oil and fuel additives, grease and rust solvents, naval jelly, carburetor and fuel injector cleaners, starter fluids, body putty, antifreeze/coolant, and gasoline;
- Home maintenance and improvement products, such as oil-based paint, used strippers and thinners, adhesives, driveway sealant, roofing tar, wallpaper remover, and stains and varnishes;
- Home lawn and garden products, such as pesticides, fertilizers, and wood preservatives;
- Electronics, such as CPU's, TV's (console TV's must be dismantled), monitors, printers, and keyboards;
- And miscellaneous items, such as pool chemicals, photo-processing chemicals, medicines/drugs, aerosols/compressed gas, mercury thermostats and thermometers, and fluorescent tubes.
Items that cannot be accepted include:
- Medical/biological products, such as needles and sharps, infectious wastes, dead animals, any waste from a doctor's office, clinic, or veterinarian's office;
- Explosives/ammunition products, such as fireworks, military ordinance, gunpowder, and ammunition;
- Radioactive products, such as smoke detectors or radium paint;
- Business/Institutional waste products, such as from any business — large or small, any college or university, any school, any hospital, any home improvement or painting contractor, or any agribusiness;
- And miscellaneous items, such as empty containers of any kind, automotive gas tanks, laboratory chemicals and cooking oil.
Empty paint cans and solidified paint are not hazardous and can be disposed of in the household garbage.
Residents are encouraged to take advantage of the year-round electronics waste recycling efforts at the Peerless Road Recycling Center.
Used oils, anti-freeze and lead batteries are currently recycled free of charge at the Bradley Landfill year-round.
At a similar event last year, 792 area households participated, resulting in a total of 45 junk cars removed or recycled, 16,540 pounds of plastic bottles recycled, 1,192 pounds of aluminum recycled, 228,500 pounds of newsprint or mixed paper, 13,038 tires, 1,897 pounds of batteries recycled, 2,790 pounds of cardboard, 29,720 pounds of glass, 2,273 pounds of electronics, 2,925 gallons of waste oil, and 14,941 appliances.
Sponsors include Bradley County, KAB, Santek Waste Services Inc., Cleveland Utilities and the Tri-State Exhibition Center.
Joanne Maskew, KAB executive director, acknowledged the $50,000 Bradley County has given to fund this cleanup each time it has been held.
"We couldn't do it without all their help," Maskew said.
The next KAB meeting will be held at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 27, at the Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of Commerce. Meetings are open to the public.

By Brian Liskai ATTICA, Ohio (Friday, May 19, 2006) - For the second week in a row, racing action at Attica Raceway Park has been cancelled due to rain.Rains have continued to fall throughout Friday morning, and combined with all the rain from this past week and cool temperatures, the grounds are too soft and muddy for racing, said ARP Operations Director Rex LeJeune.

Recipes for Mardi Gras
With Mardi Gras coming up next week I have been thinking about Southern Cuisine a lot and it seemed like the perfect time for a roundup of some of my favourite Southern Recipes. Last year I had the opportunity to visit New Orleans and the one thing that sticks out in my mind is all of the amazing food that I had while I was there! I came home inspired and made a number of New Orleans style dishes and I have to say that I am definitely enjoy the flavours and cooking style!
What are your favourite Mardi Gras dishes or Southern foods?
Gumbo is one of the first things that comes to mind when I think about New Orleans cooking and this Shrimp and Okra Gumbo is some pure comfort food delight!
Shrimp and grits is another classic Southern dish and this Blackened Shrimp on Kale and Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Andouille Cream is a really nice twist on it.
You really cannot go wrong with Cajun Red Beans and Rice and the andouille sausage and smoky ham hock make this one really tasty!
Green tomatoes are hard to come by around here and I think that it is because of that, that I have such a fondness for them. Crispy cornmeal coated buttermilk soaked Fried Green Tomatoes are definitely my favourite way to enjoy them!
Although fried green tomatoes are great to snack on all by themselves it is always fun to use them in as an ingredient in another recipe and these Fried Green Tomatoes with Crab Remoulade make a great appetizer or even a light meal.
Of course you cannot talk about New Orleans cuisine without mentioning the po boy and one of my favourites is this Fried Green Tomato and Shrimp Remoulade Po Boy which can also be done as a Pickled Green Tomato and Shrimp Remoulade Po Boy or a more classic Shrimp Po' Boy.
One of the most memorable dished that I had when I visited New Orleans was a blackened red fish and now I enjoy making it at home but since red fish is not available here I more commonly do a Blackened Swordfish.
Maque Choux is a dish native to southern Louisiana consisting of corn, bell peppers, tomatoes and onions and it makes for a great side dish or even a main if you add some meat like andouille sausage.
I could not help but experiment with a Southern take on a BLT in the form of this Fried Green Tomato BLT with Remoulade which is absolutely amazing! You can also add some blackened shrimp for a Fried Green Tomato BLT with Shrimp Remoulade.
Next up is this Fried Tuna Ball Po Boy which is I could not help but mention since the crispy fried tuna balls are so good!

Profanity filters, homophobic slurs, and Blizzard's shaky relationship with the LGBT community
Yesterday on the official World of Warcraft forums, a poster brought up the fact that the word "transsexual" gets censored by Blizzard's mature language filter. Almost immediately after, another poster brought up the fact that the word "homosexual" is censored as well. The obvious follow-up question has stirred a hornet's nest of controversy: Why are these considered bad words?
Predictably, that forum thread quickly spun out of control. It was ultimately locked by a moderator, but not before Blizzard Community Manager Bashiok chimed in:
"Transsexual" censored by filter
We've reviewed our filter list and there are a few words there that should not be blocked as profanity; we'll be removing them in a future patch.
So case closed, right? Well ... hold on. Before we simply close the books on the matter, there are some important questions to be answered. Namely this: Why was "transsexual" censored in the first place?

God's promises to Jacob. (1-4) Jacob and his family go to Egypt. (5-27) Joseph meets his father and his brethren. (28-34)
Verses 1-4 Even as to those events and undertakings which appear most joyful, we should seek counsel, assistance, and a blessing from the Lord. Attending on his ordinances, and receiving the pledges of his covenant love, we expect his presence, and that peace which it confers. In all removals we should be reminded of our removal out of this world. Nothing can encourage us to fear no evil when passing through the valley of the shadow of death, but the presence of Christ.
Verses 5-27 We have here a particular account of Jacob's family. Though the fulfilling of promises is always sure, yet it is often slow. It was now 215 years since God had promised Abraham to make of him a great nation, ch. 12:2 ; yet that branch of his seed, to which the promise was made sure, had only increased to seventy, of whom this particular account is kept, to show the power of God in making these seventy become a vast multitude.
Verses 28-34 It was justice to Pharaoh to let him know that such a family was come to settle in his dominions. If others put confidence in us, we must not be so base as to abuse it by imposing upon them. But how shall Joseph dispose of his brethren? Time was, when they were contriving to be rid of him; now he is contriving to settle them to their advantage; this is rendering good for evil. He would have them live by themselves, in the land of Goshen, which lay nearest to Canaan. Shepherds were an abomination to the Egyptians. Yet Joseph would have them not ashamed to own this as their occupation before Pharaoh. He might have procured places for them at court or in the army. But such preferments would have exposed them to the envy of the Egyptians, and might have tempted them to forget Canaan and the promise made unto their fathers. An honest calling is no disgrace, nor ought we to account it so, but rather reckon it a shame to be idle, or to have nothing to do. It is generally best for people to abide in the callings they have been bred to and used to. Whatever employment and condition God in his providence has allotted for us, let us suit ourselves to it, satisfy ourselves with it, and not mind high things. It is better to be the credit of a mean post, than the shame of a high one. If we wish to destroy our souls, or the souls of our children, then let us seek for ourselves, and for them, great things; but if not, it becomes us, having food and raiment, therewith to be content.
Genesis 46:1-4 . SACRIFICE AT BEER-SHEBA.
1. Israel took his journey with all that he had--that is, his household; for in compliance with Pharaoh's recommendation, he left his heavy furniture behind. In contemplating a step so important as that of leaving Canaan, which at his time of life he might never revisit, so pious a patriarch would ask the guidance and counsel of God. With all his anxiety to see Joseph, he would rather have died in Canaan without that highest of earthly gratifications than leave it without the consciousness of carrying the divine blessing along with him.
came to Beer-sheba--That place, which was in his direct route to Egypt, had been a favorite encampment of Abraham ( Genesis 21:33 ) and Isaac ( Genesis 26:25 ), and was memorable for their experience of the divine goodness; and Jacob seems to have deferred his public devotions till he had reached a spot so consecrated by covenant to his own God and the God of his fathers.
2. God spake unto Israel--Here is a virtual renewal of the covenant and an assurance of its blessings. Moreover, here is an answer on the chief subject of Jacob's prayer and a removal of any doubt as to the course he was meditating. At first the prospect of paying a personal visit to Joseph had been viewed with unmingled joy. But, on calmer consideration, many difficulties appeared to lie in the way. He may have remembered the prophecy to Abraham that his posterity was to be afflicted in Egypt and also that his father had been expressly told not to go [ Genesis 15:13 , 26:2 ]; he may have feared the contamination of idolatry to his family and their forgetfulness of the land of promise. These doubts were removed by the answer of the oracle, and an assurance given him of great and increasing prosperity.
3. I will there make of thee a great nation--How truly this promise was fulfilled, appears in the fact that the seventy souls who went down into Egypt increased ( Exodus 1:5-7 ), in the space of two hundred fifteen years, to one hundred eighty thousand.
4. I will also surely bring thee up [again]--As Jacob could not expect to live till the former promise was realized, he must have seen that the latter was to be accomplished only to his posterity. To himself it was literally verified in the removal of his remains to Canaan; but, in the large and liberal sense of the words, it was made good only on the establishment of Israel in the land of promise.
Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes--shall perform the last office of filial piety; and this implied that he should henceforth enjoy, without interruption, the society of that favorite son.
Genesis 46:5-27 . IMMIGRATION TO EGYPT.
5. And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba--to cross the border and settle in Egypt. However refreshed and invigorated in spirit by the religious services at Beer-sheba, he was now borne down by the infirmities of advanced age; and, therefore, his sons undertook all the trouble and toil of the arrangements, while the enfeebled old patriarch, with the wives and children, was conveyed by slow and leisurely stages in the Egyptian vehicles sent for their accommodation.
6. goods, which they had gotten in the land--not furniture, but substance--precious things.
7. daughters--As Dinah was his only daughter, this must mean daughters-in-law.
all his seed brought he with him--Though disabled by age from active superintendence, yet, as the venerable sheik of the tribe, he was looked upon as their common head and consulted in every step.
8-27. all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten--Strictly speaking, there were only sixty-six went to Egypt; but to these add Joseph and his two sons, and Jacob the head of the clan, and the whole number amounts to seventy. In the speech of Stephen ( Acts 7:14 ) the number is stated to be seventy-five; but as that estimate includes five sons of Ephraim and Manasseh ( 1 Chronicles 7:14-20 ), born in Egypt, the two accounts coincide.
Genesis 46:28-34 . ARRIVAL TO EGYPT.
28. he sent Judah before him unto Joseph--This precautionary measure was obviously proper for apprising the king of the entrance of so large a company within his territories; moreover, it was necessary in order to receive instruction from Joseph as to the locale of their future settlement.
29, 30. Joseph made ready his chariot--The difference between chariot and wagon was not only in the lighter and more elegant construction of the former, but in the one being drawn by horses and the other by oxen. Being a public man in Egypt, Joseph was required to appear everywhere in an equipage suitable to his dignity; and, therefore, it was not owing either to pride or ostentatious parade that he drove his carriage, while his father's family were accommodated only in rude and humble wagons.
presented himself unto him--in an attitude of filial reverence (compare Exodus 22:17 ). The interview was a most affecting one--the happiness of the delighted father was now at its height; and life having no higher charms, he could, in the very spirit of the aged Simeon, have departed in peace [ Luke 2:25 Luke 2:29 ].
31-34. Joseph said, . . . I will go up, and show Pharaoh--It was a tribute of respect due to the king to inform him of their arrival. And the instructions which he gave them were worthy of his character alike as an affectionate brother and a religious man.

That was a huge clue that no focused leadership existed at the very top of Beckett. I then discovered Gulledge's personal website, which I can sum up as tacky, sprinkled with narcissism. Clearly lacking on his site . . . any mention, much less passion for the hobby. Today, I just noticed that he is no longer president at Beckett or of the debt collection company, leaving both in January of this year, according to LinkedIn. My search for any info on who may have replaced him came up empty but I'm glad to see him gone. Hopefully the ownership of Apprise Media, which I believe still owns Beckett, will not make another mistake because Gulledge was a very costly one.

[OS] FRANCE/GERMANY/EU/ECON - France Risks Renewed German Clash With Push for ECB Backstop

By Mark Deen and Tony Czuczka
(Updates with Spanish bond sale in eighth paragraph, analyst comment in
ninth. For more debt-crisis news, see EXT4.)
Nov. 17 (Bloomberg) -- French Finance Minister Francois Baroin risked
re-opening a clash with Germany over using the European Central Bank as a
backstop, saying that ECB support for Europe's recue fund is the best way
to counter the debt crisis.
Baroin's comments underscore French unease as the debt crisis moves to the
euro region's second-largest economy. The extra yielded demanded by
investors to hold French 10-year bonds over German bunds widened to a
euro-era high today.
"We consider that the best way to avoid contagion is to have a solid
firewall" by giving the fund a bank license, Baroin said in a speech in
Paris late yesterday. "We haven't won the argument. We won't make it a
casus belli, but naturally we continue to think it would be the best way
to bring stability to Europe."
As global leaders step up calls on Europe to find a fix to the crisis now
entering its third year, the French stance is again running into
resistance from German Chancellor Angela Merkel's government, which
opposes enlisting further support from the ECB.
"If politicians believe the ECB can solve the problem of the euro's
weakness, then they're trying to convince themselves of something that
won't happen," Merkel said in a speech in Berlin today.
The Frankfurt-based ECB itself has also resisted calls to provide more
support. Mario Draghi, the Italian who took over as president of the
central bank this month, said Nov. 3 that backstopping government
borrowing lies outside the ECB's remit.
French Spread
The clash is intensifying as France, the second-biggest backer of the
European Financial Stability Facility after Germany, is dragged more
deeply into the crisis that began more than two years ago in Greece and
has in the past week led to the ousting of Italy's Silvio Berlusconi.
The premium France pays over Germany to borrow for 10 years jumped to 200
basis points today, the highest since 1990. Yields on Dutch, Finnish and
Austrian debt also increased this week. Spain sold 3.56 billion euros
($4.8 billion) of a new 10-year benchmark at an average yield of almost 7
percent, the most since the euro's creation, as demand for the securities
Panic Spreading
"Nothing spreads like fear," Holger Schmieding, chief economist at Joh.
Berenberg Gossler & Co. in London, said in a note. "If the European
Central Bank does not intervene forcefully to stop the rot, the panic
could spread even further and eventually put the very existence of the
euro and the ECB at risk."
France's 10-year government bonds now yield about 3.7 percent, compared
with 2.2 percent for U.K. gilts and 2 percent for U.S. Treasuries. Both
the U.K. and the U.S. governments are benefiting from bond purchases of
the Bank of England and the Federal Reserve and Baroin cited those
programs as examples that Europe should follow.
President Barack Obama said financial-market turmoil will continue until
European leaders persuade investors they have a convincing plan. Bank of
England Governor Mervyn King and the U.K. Treasury said Europe's woes are
the biggest threat to the British economy.
"I'm deeply concerned, have been deeply concerned -- I suspect will be
deeply concerned tomorrow and next week and the week after that," Obama
said yesterday during a visit to Canberra.
Rescue Efforts
The current market rout comes three weeks after European leaders completed
an all-night summit to bolster their rescue efforts. They agreed to
recapitalize banks and force bondholders to take a 50 percent writedown on
Greek debt in what they called a comprehensive approach intended to end
the crisis.
That effort is unlikely to be enough and requires further support from the
ECB, according to Citigroup Chief Economist Willem Buiter.
"The only remaining show in town is the ECB," Buiter said yesterday on
Bloomberg Television's "Surveillance Midday" with Tom Keene. "They may
have to hold their noses, but they will have to do it," he said. "The
notion that they can't do this because of their price mandate is
French President Nicolas Sarkozy had earlier backed down over the role the
ECB should play in fire fighting, acknowledging Germany's inter-war
experience of hyperinflation, to help obtain the Oct. 27 accord among
European leaders. "Germany has historic, almost sociological concern about
central bank intervention," Baroin said in Paris.
Buiter, a former member of the Bank of England's monetary policy
committee, suggested that Germany should look beyond that experience.
"We're not asking for Weimar," he said.

Entenmann's is not known for providing diet-friendly foods, but they made an attempt to slide into the "junk food made healthier by selling 100 calorie packs of little more than air" World with their Entenmann's Little Bites 100 Calorie Packs. I picked up the Chocolate Chip Squares in the hopes that I might be wrong.
I am torn between these SMALL desserts. First of all, these soft baked chocolate chip squares are dense and chewy like fresh baked cookies. They are so sinfully delicious! That being said, each 6.5 ounce box contains 8 little packs with 5 little cookie bites each. As you can see in the picture, each square is just about the size of a Life Saver mint. I don't think could even satisfy my cravings, and nobody but a child can eat these and not look around for something else to eat in 5 minutes.
A pouch of five of these mini cookies contains 100 calories, 4 grams of total fat (6% of the RDA), 1.5 grams of saturated fat (8% of the RDA), 55 mg of sodium (2% of the RDA), no fiber, 9 grams of sugar and less than 1 gram of protein. Somehow, Entenmann's sneaks 10% of the RDA for Calcium into each pack (how does it all fit?). The first ingredient is bleached wheat flour (hence the no fiber), followed by sugar, high fructose corn syrup, natural and artificial flavors and a bunch of other unmentionables.
While each pack is only 100 calories (I don't think it could be many more for the size), the rest of the nutritional panel is not very stellar (saturated fat, no fiber, no protein, long ingredient list). While these scrumptious LITTLE treats taste phenomenal, they leave me unsatisfied, wanting something else sweet (or maybe just another pouch).
I paid $3.69 for a box of 8, which is not by any means cheap (the reason that I have been putting off trying these little babies), plus, I have yet to see them on sale or any cheaper. I give Entenmann's an A for effort, but I doubt that I will be buying these 100 Calorie Pack Mini Cookies again in the very near future. While they are delicious, they do not fit very well into my healthy eating style or budget. Besides, Uncle Wally's Smart Portion Oatmeal Raisins Cookies (100 calorie packs) have less fat, more fiber, better ingredients and are just as delicious

Attorney Andrew Keeney
Kaufman & Canoles, P.C.
Credit Unions and their members confront on a daily basis with social media.
A hot topic for credit unions is social media, but it has its risks, especially potential consumer risks. There are marketing and advertising issues. There are privacy issues. Add to the significant risk areas the effort to deal with compliance risks and legal risks, along with reputation risks and privacy rights. Our speaker; Andy Keeney, a nationally recognized credit union attorney believes that the biggest risk is a credit union's reputation risk. With just one poor review or negative comment on social media, years of a credit union's success can be undermined. Come and learn more about these compliance risks and what steps your credit union can undertake to minimize the risks.
About Andrew Keeney, Kaufman and Canoles, P.C.
Andy currently serves as the General Counsel for numerous credit unions, he is an approved and preferred special counsel for several credit union insurance companies and has been a specially retained attorney by NCUA. Additionally, Andy's practice involves a range of commercial real estate services from zoning to representation provided in connection with the leasing or purchase and/or sale of commercial real estate. His finance experience includes real estate development activities and workouts of troubled loans.

Standards and Regulations |
ANSI oversees the creation and use of thousands of norms and guidelines that directly impact businesses in nearly every sector: from acoustical devices to construction equipment, from dairy and livestock production to energy distribution, and many more. ANSI is also actively engaged in accrediting programs that assess conformance to standards - including globally-recognized cross-sector programs such as the ISO 9000 (quality) and ISO 14000 (environmental) management systems. Visit the Safety Equipment web site for more information. |
Federal Highway Administration | |||
NEW FHWA LAW: November 24, 2008 is the deadline for the worker visibility provisions published by the Federal Highway Administration on Nov. 24, 2006, 23 CFR Part 634. This means that by November 24, all workers within the right of way of a federal-aid highway who are exposed either to traffic or construction equipment within the work area have to wear high-visibility safety apparel that meets the Performance Class 2 or 3 requirements of the American National Standard for High Visibility Apparel (ANSI/ISEA 107-2004). Carhartt offers several products that are in compliance with this new law. |
Frequently Asked Questions |
What/Who is ANSI? ANSI stands for the American National Standards Institute. ANSI is a private, non-profit organization that administers and coordinates U.S. voluntary standardization. |
What/Who is ISEA? ISEA is the International Safety Equipment Association. ISEA is the trade association for U.S. suppliers of safety and personal protective equipment. ISEA is the body that develops and publishes the standard, while ANSI administers it. |
What is the difference between Class 1, 2, 3 and E apparel? Class 1 apparel is required to provide the minimum amount of necessary material to differentiate the wearer from the work environment. Class 2 apparel provides superior visibility for wearers by the additional coverage of the torso, and is more conspicuous than Class 1. Class 3 apparel is intended to offer greater visibility to the wearer in both complex backgrounds and through a full range of body movements. Class 3 visibility is enhanced beyond Class 2 by the addition of background and retroreflective material to the arms and/or legs. Class E apparel applies to trousers and shorts and creates a high visibility ensemble. When Class E bottoms are worn with a Class 2 or 3 garment, the overall classification for the ensemble is Class 3. |
What are the requirements for a garment to be considered Class 1, 2, 3 or E apparel? In order for a garment to meet Class 1, 2, 3 or E requirements, it must meet the minimum requirements for amount of background material and retroreflective material. Refer to the table below requirements. All high-visibility apparel must have retroreflective material. |
How are ANSI compliant garments tested? High-visibility garments are required to be tested and certified by an independent, accredited third-party laboratory. After the garment is tested, a certificate will be provided confirming the garment's compliancy. Some of the tests performed include background color testing, colorfastness, burst/tear strength and photometric performance of retroreflective material. |
What is contiguous 360 degree visibility? Class 1, 2 and 3 garments all must have contiguous 360 degree visibility, which means retroreflective material must encircle the torso of the garment to be considered ANSI compliant. |
What does Level 1 or 2 Taping mean? The photometric performance level refers to the amount of reflectivity or brightness of a retroreflective material. Level 2 taping provides a greater contrast and visibility than Level 1 taping over wider viewing angles of safety apparel when seen in headlights during darkness. |
Does ANSI/ISEA have requirements for the placement of retroreflective materials? Yes, there are several requirements for the placement of retroreflective material on the garments. Specific requirements include where retroreflective bands should be placed on full-length sleeves, legs and the torso of the garment. |
What about headwear? ANSI/ISEA 107-2004 does include requirements for ANSI compliant headwear. Headwear is considered an important accessory and complements the overall visibility of the wearer. Headwear enhances visibility to the head of a moving worker in daylight and helps define the shape of the human form during nighttime exposure. |
How are the different classes determined? The ISEA has based the categories on the color and complexity of the work environment, the task load of the worker, separation of the worker from moving equipment and vehicles, and other work environment variables. |
What do all the labels mean on the inside of a High-Visibility garment? In addition to the common care label, ANSI requires a label designating the class of the garment, as well a pictogram, showing the performance class and retroreflective taping level of the garment. |
Who wears ANSI compliant clothing? ANSI/ISEA 107-2004 Appendix B gives the following suggested guidelines for the appropriate apparel class: Class 1:
Class 2:
Class 3:
What is the MUTCD? The MUTCD stands for the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. It is published by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Federal Highway Administration. All state level DOTs are required to adhere to the MUTCD. The MUTCD states that "all workers exposed to the risks of moving roadway traffic or construction equipment should wear high-visibility safety apparel meeting the requirements of ANSI/ISEA 107-2004 standard performance for Class 1, 2 or 3 risk exposure." The manual also spells out specific class requirements for flagging crews (must wear Class 2 during the day and should wear Class 3 at night). |
What is the difference between ANSI/ISEA 107-1999 and ANSI/ISEA 107-2004? ANSI/ISEA 107-1999 was the original high visibility apparel standard and was developed by the ISEA in 1999. In 2004, the standard was revised to include high visibility headwear as a category. Another important change to the standard in 2004 was the prohibiting of any kind of sleeveless garment to be labeled as Class 3 when worn alone. Additionally, all references to classes of garments and their use in specific environments based on vehicle speeds were removed. ANSI/ISEA 107-2004 emphasizes that garment selection should be based on the color and complexity of the work environment, the task load of the worker, separation of the worker from moving equipment and vehicles, and other work environment variables. The revised version also added additional testing procedures and removed those that added no value. |
What is 23 CFR Part 634 Worker Visibility? This is a final rule published by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). It requires that, by November 2008, all workers within the right-of-way of a Federal-aid highway who are exposed either to traffic (vehicles using the highway for purposes of travel) or to construction equipment with the work area shall wear high-visibility safety apparel (Class 2 or 3). |
Who is responsible for enforcing 23 CFR Part 634? OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) will enforce the regulation under its General Duty Clause, which requires employers to take the appropriate steps to protect workers. OSHA refers to ANSI 107-2004 as a way for employers to comply with this requirement. |
Can a vest be Class 3 compliant? No, the revision of ANSI/ISEA 107 in 2004 prohibits any sleeveless garment from being labeled Class 3 when worn alone. |
Does Carhartt High-Visibility clothing meet Canadian standards? No, Carhartt High-Visibility clothing is not certified to meet the Canadian High-Visibility Safety Apparel standard, CSA Z96-02, at this point in time. |

"FLY Zone is an organization geared toward uplifting the youth," said Rimmer. "FLY Zone hopes to uplift minds of the youth so that they can aspire to be productive citizens."
The organization's acronym stands for "Forever Lifting Youth" and Rimmer explained that the idea for creating an organization that influenced young people in a positive way came from a tragic event.
"The idea came to me one night while I was home," said Rimmer, "and my wife and a family friend were discussing the death of a young man and what we could do to prevent these acts."
Since the start of FLY Zone in July 2013, the organization has organized and participated in several events such as a "Taking the City Back" walk in order to raise awareness about youth violence, giving free haircuts to both the youth and nursing home residents, and a balloon release to symbolize the release of all negative behavior.
The organization has even helped raise money for young people to take the GED test and the driver's license test.
Preventing violence among the youth is one of the ultimate goals of FLY Zone, which is why they have held several events, such as the Prayer in the Park Peace Treaty, where they symbolically promoted peace rather than violence.
"The Prayer in the Park Peace Treaty was held to bring awareness to the youth that violence is not the answer," said Rimmer, "and the prayer was done to ask God to bless our city and change the mindset of the citizens.
"I read the FLY Zone peace treaty and the crowd agreed to the terms of it," said Rimmer. "A few of the things in the treaty are that those involved in violent crimes or behavior would stop, report any crimes witnessed, seek counseling if needed, and become more active in the community, school, or church."
FLY Zone also plans to participate in Cleveland's Martin Luther King parade on Monday at 10 a.m.
According to Rimmer, membership for FLY Zone is open to anyone who would like to be involved with the local youth and make a difference.
"FLY Zone hopes to give the youth a sense of hope, self-respect, and respect for others," said Rimmer.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Recent research results on tomato harvesting and handling give buyers the backup they need when growers and shippers try to negotiate out of food safety requirements, according to a panel at the Center for Produce Safety Research Symposium.
Coral BeachFood safety researcher Michelle Danyluk, an assistant professor at the University of Florida, is a member of the International Association for Food Protection and the Institute of Food Technologists.The fourth annual symposium was at the Wegmans Conference Center and attracted more than 300 attendees in late June. It included presentations from 16 scientists whose fresh produce research projects received CPS funding.
Two of the projects involved pathogen transfer risks and survival rates in different aspects of harvesting and handling field-grown tomatoes.
Michelle Danyluk, an assistant professor specializing in microbial food safety and quality at the University of Florida, looked at "established standards" to remove dirt and debris from tomatoes during field packing — using cloths to wipe and shine — and the reuse of cartons in repack operations.
The two-year project showed cloths easily transfer pathogens from one tomato to at least 25 more tomatoes.
Danyluk also documented that dirt on cartons harbors pathogens and transfers them to tomatoes. Danyluk said the results were expected, but the rate of pathogen transfer was higher than anticipated.
"Now that there is data, we will go back and talk to our suppliers to make sure (they meet our requirements)," said Michael Burness, vice president of global quality and food safety at Chiquita Brands International Inc.
Burness was one of four panelists who discussed practical applications of research following scientists' presentations on pathogen transference.
Also on the panel was Jorge Hernandez, senior vice president for food safety and quality assurance at US Foods.
"We have been working with our suppliers to stop this (use of cloths) and this gives us data to back up our requirements," Hernandez said.
Coral BeachMicrobiologist Lynne Landsborough is an associate professor in the Department of Food Science and an associate member of the Molecular and Cellular Biology Interdisciplinary Program at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst.In a separate research project, Lynne McLandsborough, an assistant professor in the department of food science at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, studied the survival, transfer and inactivation of salmonella on plastic materials used during the harvest of field tomatoes.
She specifically documented salmonella levels on plastic bins and gloves workers use to gather tomatoes from the fields.
Data from the 25-month research project led her to conclude that the pathogen does survive easily on the surfaces of the bins, especially if dirt is allowed to accumulate because it provides a "safe place" for the salmonella to live.

Now you know I can't stand the Cardinals, especially after That Game That I Do Not Mention in last season's World Series, but I reckon they're a little higher on the list of Teams I Loathe than the Dodgers, so this is a step in the right direction.
I know that many (most?) Giants fans are not that… fond, shall we say, of Velez, but I am and I'm excited that he has another opportunity. And I will defend him til the day I die about the whole dropped-ball-rain-thing. If you are anti-Velez and feel in the mood to annoy yourself, you can read that post here.
Anyhow, however you feel about Eugenio, you've got to admit that Cardinal Red should suit his complexion rather nicely. Better than blue or orange. Progress, people. Progress.
