It was the first of its kind and a success. New York State's annual job fair included one, for the first time, in Syracuse. Our Kat De Maria was there.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Andrea Jenkins has been out of work for two years. She's back in school part time, but has been consistently looking for work, which she's only found so far for one month. Jenkins says she normally does the job search online. But Thursday, she stopped by New York State's first job fair in Syracuse. And she was far from the only one. "We had hoped for 500 people, but we had 300 at the door when we started," said regional state representative Juanita Perez Williams.
State reps invited employers only with available jobs and offered Jenkins and the others nearly two dozen companies with some 700 positions in a variety of areas.
"We have a lot of nursing skill needs. We have a lot of business related: Accounting, secretarial, administrative needs. We have security businesses here. We have AAA," Perez Williams said.
AAA is where we found Jenkins, inquiring about jobs in the field where she has spent the past 30 years. "Customer service is what I do, it's the skill I have now that's going to see me through until I get into the industry," she said.
Jenkins is studying medical administration. AAA's Contact Center manager, Dan Wuethrich, says he saw applicants with her skill set and many others.
"We are seeing a wide variety of people from the high school student to people looking for either a second career or a career after retirement, people with high school educations up to people with masters' degrees," Wuethrich said.
State reps say the response to the fair shows the need for jobs in Syracuse. Jenkins says she's hoping her visit was a successful one.
"I'm just glad the opportunity was here because I do see employers I did not see online. So now I have their cards and their information," she said.
For anyone who didn't have a chance to attend the job fair, access to all of the positions is available at www.jobs.ny.gov, the governor's Jobs Express web site.

-- just concluded that.
For me personally.
It is important for me to go ahead and affirm.
I think same sex couples should be able to get better.
When I was president -- bombing yesterday becoming the first sitting US president to announce his personal support for same sex marriage.
After he gave that interview to ABC news.
President Obama called one of his spiritual advisors doctor Joel Hunter for guidance.
We are told the pastor hunter had some concerns and he agreed to join us today.
Pastor welcome to you thank you so much for being -- so.
You you know you're driving down the road with your wife he get a phone call from the president the United States who is just an counsel Robin Roberts his personal support for gay marriage.
And what did you tell up.
First of all I want your viewers to know -- pulled over and got out of traffic.
So that I could I can answer safely -- -- But basically.
I listen for a while because he -- -- me to tell he wanted to tell me his reasoning.
And how he arrived at this conclusion.
And had a couple of concerns that -- to.
To talk with him about one was.
I couldn't get there from the scripture that I read.
And he understood that that's one of the reasons he was calling me he knew I'd be in a different place.
The second one was I wanted.
For him to be a weird that this might be perceived as another.
Attack on religious liberties.
-- from the standpoint of conservative Christians.
Not that he ever intended an attack on religious liberties.
And he gave me some assurance that this -- his personal opinion.
However we all know that the personal opinion of the president.
Even though it doesn't is not meant for policy.
Still has.
Some impact.
In that direction and so that was my concern that that the church be protected.
-- saving view that was different from what he said to Robert Roberts in terms of how he got to this decision.
Well -- I'm sure he did I didn't hear that full interview and and of course -- I -- her about them Malia and Sasha and then how they have friends who are being.
Raised by same sex parents and and there's just a presumption that it's all right in and that that moved him as well.
Yeah that the president sometimes thinks -- this heart.
He really has a great compassion for people especially those who are left out.
And so as he -- interpret scripture he interprets it through that filter.
Those of us who are evangelical.
Just try to interpret the plain meaning of the text.
Around -- and try to follow that no matter how uncomfortable it gets and so that's kind of a big a difference in the way we have interpreting scripture and.
I know that you said that you believe that that that the announcement.
Even though it's only of his personal opinion as opposed to a call for a change in policy.
Will you said that quote cause President Obama as much hurt as it will help.
-- Well there are several communities.
Including -- the evangelical community but also.
African American community of the Latin community that have been very strong for traditional marriage.
And this is this has the kind of a destabilize in effect because this is that central.
Cultural component in our society.
And so I was I was I was.
I was alarmed -- a couple of things first of all it looked from the tiny mean.
After the after the Biden announcement.
That he was being pushed into.
A decision that was political.
-- rather than.
Simply value based.
Com and secondly I was concerned.
This couldn't get a full enough picture that will be immediately thrown into the political realm and and frankly my part in his life is not -- -- political it's more personal more pastoral.
And I wanted to for him.
To be able to arrive at this for a personal.
Decision which I think you did any guesses who.
He finally decided then he he could be authentic beauty but but it was I've I -- -- didn't wanna get all mixed up in the political for a.
You mention the scriptures and and I think you know a lot of our viewers are our people of faith.
But some are not and you know some look at this decision and say you can't base.
Your assessment of what is moral and what is right in 2012 America.
Based on.
Documents that are thousands of years old principles that are thousands of years old and that cannot be our standard.
Otherwise we'd still have.
Slavery would still have segregation we'd we'd still have a lot of a lot of things that people consider discriminatory.
Like gay marriage.
Well I and I totally understand that and that's the difference between believers and nonbelievers and and if you understand how to interpret scripture.
You know the and for the eternal moral principles apart from the cultural context of the day.
And that's very important the ten commandments will always be in effect.
Laws of prohibiting us from -- -- -- not so much.
So you've you've you've got to be able to interpret your -- fact that -- actually electricity -- faster I know.
But but but you've got to be able to interpret scripture from your knowledge of scripture.
And not just picking out scriptures and -- what this doesn't fit.
And I realize there's that there's a difference in viewpoints here we have totally realize that.
Do you feel like you know you live close -- -- yesterday and said that he's basically calling for an end to bigotry and that the folks in this country who still oppose gay marriage.
Like yourself are are -- -- are guilty of discrimination in the year in the dark ages you are.
You're the same as folks who do believe in segregated schools who believe there was a difference between the races if you believe that there's a difference between.
Heterosexual marriage and homosexual marriage.
Yeah I I I understand I've been called that before I don't believe that people.
Who have a moral.
Compelling -- understanding of scripture.
If they love.
Homosexual people if they prize them as being made in the image of god if they respect them.
Are bigots just because they disagree.
On who ought to be able to get -- -- response of that as it sounds like a separate pretty well things like that you know.
All the blacks find a flat the finds want to go to their own school you know the days of trying to find as long as they love and awaited doesn't have the same label is what I -- Well some things are separate but equal I mean they -- if there are laws about who can get married in this country and who cannot.
And so there are there are.
Realms of relationships.
That the church -- -- countenance.
Legal legal.
Venues can't countenance and that's -- as a pastor.
I'm not trying to be you -- trying to work I think politically here.
I'm not trying to govern other people's lives I'm just -- and this is my opinion.
About what is a valid message or a valid marriage as it comes out of scripture.
And that's I'm just one pastor sure that's that's so I'm I'm -- trying to run the country.
We take all perspectives here sir thank you so much for coming on pastor Joel Hunter we appreciate it.
You're welcome thanks for sharing -- your thoughts about your conversation with the president.
We're taking your thoughts on as well follow me on Twitter at Megyn Kelly.
Well John.

Today I finally got my Chrome Orb, so I took the time to uninstall the OEM version CPU fan (about 15mins), and clip (1 sec)... Yeah... Sure that's a huge improvement from what I heard about GoldenOrb. Run at 800Mhz, no prob... Then 900Mhz, no go... So I stayed back at 850Mhz... Boot up but stuck at the Windows logo. Pissed. Tune it back to 800. Boot up fine, so I try to tune the FSB to 103... Didn't get the computer turn on... And it is still sleeping until now... Do I do anything wrong?! Or I am just the unlucky one? ;_;
I am hoping I haven't burned my chip yet. I am using Asus A7V with dip-switch. The green LED on the motherboard lights up, so I am sure the power is good. Anyone have this problem before?

Dear Editor:
Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, along with Senate Education Chairman, Sen. Gray Tollison, have recommended a bill, SB 2401, that would take local ad valorem taxes from one district to fund a charter school in another district. It is unimaginable that the our elected representatives would pass a law to fund charter schools in one county with tax dollars from another.

'Disorderly' man part of crowd chanting IRA slogans
Published: 17 Oct 2012 11:47
A member of a disorderly crowd singing republican songs and chanting IRA slogans has been fined £100.
Thomas Peter Mulligan, of Killygullan, Lisnaskea, was seen swinging a chair above his head in an Indian take-away and swore at police.
The 42-year-old appeared at Fermanagh Court and admitted being disorderly.
A prosecutor explained that at approximately 1.50am on Monday, September 24, police went to the Bombay Spice take-away at Main Street, Lisnaskea, in relation to an alleged assault. They arrived to find a large disorderly crowd of around 20, mainly men, singing republican songs and chanting: "Ooh, ah, up the 'RA."
Mulligan was swinging a chair above his head. He was highly intoxicated and unsteady on his feet. He remained in the area and again came to the attention of the police, going up to one officer several times. At approximately 2.30am, as a member of the public was trying to take him away, his behaviour worsened. He shouted at one of the police: "You are nothing but one f--king p--ck."
Mulligan later told police: "I thought I was within my rights to back chat an officer."
Mulligan apologised to the officers.
"I have no recollection of the event at all," he told the court. "I'm very sorry."

bet your blood runs red just the same as mine
I have a conflicted relationship with the Red Cross. On the one hand, I like donating blood (provided that I never actually see the needle), and believe it's the right thing to do and indeed that I have a responsibility to do it. On the other hand, I wish they would stop calling me at totally inconvenient times, and that the finger stick didn't hurt so much, and that I didn't fail the hemoglobin test so often.
In space, this might get weird for me, because of space flight anemia.
Even in the 60s, they noticed that astronauts who spent time in space often had decreased red blood cell mass afterwards:
FIG. 1. Red blood cell mass changes after spaceflight. Each point represents one individual. Data are expressed as percentage of change from preflight red blood cell mass (mL/kg of body mass).
(from Smith, linked above)
Interestingly, despite invoking the word "anemia," which to me suggested that the astronauts had iron levels that were too low, Smith says that:
Although the weight of evidence now indicates that iron storage and availability increase during space flight, space food systems provide excessive amounts of dietary iron (about 20 to 22 mg Fe/d).[13 and 26] Expert panels have recommended that iron intake of men and women be reduced to less than 10 mg/d during space flight. [13] Even with the typically reduced, overall dietary intake, iron consumption exceeds this recommendation ( Fig. 3A). Dietary fiber intake decreases during flight compared with before flight (Fig. 3B), further increasing the risk of elevated iron absorption.
Overdosing on iron can actually be dangerous, in that it can kill you. Could be awkward in space.
Also, it appears to be the case that anemia refers to the amount of red blood cells you have, not your internal iron content, explaining why it's called "anemia" even if they have extra iron.
So why does it happen? I was struggling through a bunch of blood terminology I didn't understand until I found this abstract, italics added by me for the important parts:
Upon entering microgravity, the blood volume in the extremities pools centrally and plasma volume decreases, causing plethora and erythropoietin suppression. There ensues neocytolysis, selective hemolysis of the youngest circulating red cells, allowing rapid adaptation to the space environment but becoming maladaptive on re-entry to a gravitational field.
"Hemolysis" means that the cells break open and their contents go floating happily into the bloodstream. Red cell count: decreased. Cue anemia. On the other hand, these people at the Vanderbilt Center for Space Physiology suggest that it's just decreased production, not hemolysis, that causes space flight anemia.
As pointed out in one of the articles above, it's hard to study because opportunities to fire people up into space and test their blood aren't just lying around. Nevertheless, that it happens is pretty clear, so before our future space travelers set out we'll have to figure out how to deal with it, as will Space Red Cross.

Bold and Beautiful Recaps
B&B Week of March 8, 2010
A guilt-ridden Bridget couldn't stop thinking about losing the baby and hitting the sheets with Owen. Nick tried to console his troubled wife but it didn't get any better when Jackie showed up with Owen in tow to offer her condolences. Bridget and Owen were both uneasy, until Brooke showed up. She was devastated to hear from Bridget that Aggie had lost their baby. Brooke told Bridget to rely on her family and her marriage but she continued to blame herself for the miscarriage. Bridget wanted to be alone and retreated upstairs. Later, she returned to find Owen alone (everyone else went in the kitchen to make tea). Bridget told a concerned Owen that she didn't say anything about their tryst to Nick, and Owen urged her to keep it a secret. Bridget didn't think she could continue to deliberately lie to her husband. The others came back with tea and Nick asked Jackie and Owen to leave so Bridget could spend time with Brooke.
Oliver comforted Aggie over the miscarriage but couldn't get his video of Bridget and Owen together out of his mind. Aggie wanted to commiserate with Bridget but Oliver advised his sister to stay clear of Mrs. Marone. Aggie cried over how important the people at Jackie have become to her and now, she doesn't even know if she has a job anymore. Aggie groused that everyone thinks Bridget is Little Miss Perfect.
At Insomnia, Stephanie and Steffy toasted to getting Forrester Creations back. Steffy said she didn't want to rest until all of the Logans were out of of the company. Steph said that it wasn't a good time to go after Brooke as she just lost a grandchild. Still, Steffy wanted to focus on ousting the Logans. When Stephanie said that Bridget is an angel, Steffy opined that "no one is perfect." After Stephanie left, Oliver showed up at Insomnia and looked at the X-rated video on his phone. Steffy showed up and asked what he was watching but he put his phone away. Steffy told Oliver that she was sorry what happened to his sister. When he thought Steffy had left, Oliver reviewed the video once again. He was shocked when he suddenly heard Steffy behind him exclaim, "Bridget and Owen?!"
"Let me see that again," Steffy demanded but Oliver refused to let her view the video of Owen and Bridget. He claimed it was a video that a friend sent him but she insisted that the couple looked like Owen and Bridget. Oliver tried to deflect Steffy's suspicion but she insisted that she knew what she saw. The topic changed to Hope and Steffy asked if her stepsister and Oliver were an item. When Oliver said no, Steffy invited him over for a swim at her house and he accepted.
Nick and Bridget bonded over delivery pizza. She worried that Brooke's role at Forrester Creations would be diminished now that Taylor and Stephanie were part owners. As Bridget continued to feel guilt over her one-night stand with Owen, Nick reaffirmed his love for her. Meanwhile, Pamela barred Donna from entering Eric's office; explaining that there was an important meeting going on which Donna wasn't invited to. Pam then chirped that she was going to personally de-bug Forrester of the Logans. For effect, Pam got a sprayer from underneath her desk and menaced Donna with it.
As the new owners of Forrester Creations assembled for a meeting, Stephanie ordered Brooke to leave. Ridge refused to allow a "turf war," and wanted Brooke to stay. First on the agenda was deciding on a new campaign but Brooke argued that Hope For The Future was still a go. Taylor proposed that Hope be the face of their youth line and not the whole company. Ridge and Eric thought that was a good idea and Brooke agreed. Stephanie then proposed that they dump the Brooke's Bedroom line altogether. Not surprisingly, its creator greatly objected and pointed out that sex sells. Brooke was certain Ridge would side with her but he conceded that some good points were made for both arguments. The meeting was then adjourned while Ridge pondered his decision.
After a testy encounter with Brooke, Steffy was more determined than ever to get her hands on Oliver's video.
Worried about what Steffy's next move could be, Brooke warned Ridge that his
daughter better not hurt any of her children. Brooke then changed into sexy
lingerie and paraded around in front of Ridge. She wanted to properly thank
him for supporting her during the meeting and sat on his lap. Ridge
suggested they continue this at home but she started mauling him and he
plopped Brooke on his desk. After having sex, they were naked on the sofa
when Stephanie burst in and was horrified (luckily, the lovers were under a
skimpy blanket). Steph blasted Brooke for her seduction games but Brooke
crowed that she has her place in Forrester Creations, thanks to Ridge.
"You're wasting your precious time," Brooke cackled. "I am not leaving."
Nick escorted a blindfolded Bridget to the Marone jet. When he removed the
blinders, he announced they were going on a trip so she could "leave your
worries behind." She asked where they were going to but Nick wanted to keep
the destination a surprise. Bridget called to let her mom know that she was
going on a romantic getaway with Nick and Brooke was happy for her. After
the plane took off, the Marones pledged to weather the loss of their baby
together and joined the mile-high club.
Oliver arrived at Taylor's house to find a bikini-clad Steffy at the pool.
He was wary and curious as to why she invited him over but she played coy.
"What would Hope think if she knew you were here?" Steffy wondered but he
said that he and Hope were not exclusively dating. Steffy urged Oliver to
change into his bathing suit and once he was gone, she went through his
duffle bag and found his cell phone. As she searched for the video, Oliver
returned and caught her red handed. She lied that his phone had rang but he
didn't believe her. He snatched back the phone and stalked away. After,
Steffy checked her email and happily found that she had successfully
emailed the video to herself. She was shocked to review the tape and indeed
see the lovers were Bridget and Owen. "What do I do with this?" Steffy asked
Jackie returned home to find that Owen had set up a romantic setting of wine, candlelight and a bubble bath. She asked if he was feeling guilty about something but, covering his nervousness, he insisted that he just wanted to spoil his wife. They talked about Bridget's loss and Owen looked obviously distracted as Jackie opined that grief can make you do crazy things. When Owen became overwhelmed with guilt (those flashbacks of having sex with Bridget didn't help), he threw down Jackie on the sofa for sex.
Bridget and Nick arrived at their tropical destination in Mexico. He poured champagne and she made a toast to their family. Nick remembered how much he hated when his mother and Owen got together but Bridget assured that Owen loves Jackie. Nick teased that he had a surprise for his wife that he needed to retrieve from the front desk and left. Bridget called Owen and confirmed that she wanted their one-night stand to be a secret. Owen agreed and they hung up. Nick returned with a guitar so he could serenade Bridget. Before warbling, they reaffirmed their commitment to each other.
Brooke asked Hope if she had a boyfriend and she answered no but Mom didn't believe her. Hope's cell rang and it was Oliver confirming their date plans that night. After hanging up, Oliver realized that Steffy had emailed the video to herself and headed out to confront her. Later, Hope prepped for her date and wondered why Oliver was late.
"This could cause some major damage," Steffy relished as she reviewed Bridget and Owen's sex tape. Oliver showed up and busted Steffy for stealing the video. "What do you plan on doing with it?" he wanted to know and she admitted the footage would be her "bargaining chip" in ridding Forrester Creations of the rest of the Logans. Oliver vowed to stop her because he didn't want his video to rip apart two marriages. Steffy angrily insisted she was going to use it to get Brooke out of her life. "I'll have the last laugh," Steffy declared. Oliver begged her to delete the video and tenderly touched Steffy's face. "Do it for me," he requested.
As Hope waited for Oliver at Forrester Creations, she shared her excitement with Brooke over being chosen queen of the upcoming school dance. Hope was even more elated that Oliver is going to be her escort. When Oliver was a no show, Hope assumed that he had a DJ gig that he forgot about. Brooke asked her daughter to deliver the proofs from today's photo shoot to Taylor and Stephanie.
After checking up on Jack, Bridget and Nick continued with making out. Nick thanked his wife for teaching him a lesson on integrity and commitment, which of course made Bridget feel even more guilty. She turned into a tigress in bed and wore Nick out. After, he worked up an appetite and they ordered room service. While dining, Bridget thanked Nick for planning their romantic getaway because it was just what she needed. Bridget announced that she was ready to focus on the future and forget the past. She admitted that everyone makes mistakes but it's more important to learn from them.
Owen made hot love with Jackie and told her never to question his love for her. She beat herself up for jeopardizing their relationship by kissing Whip and declared her complete trust in Owen. Yep, Owen felt mighty low. "I just want to be a perfect husband," he told Jackie, and she assured that she knows she has his complete loyalty.
Steffy told Oliver that she wasn't going to erase the video. Oliver continued to try and convince Steffy not to use the video but she insisted she had to follow through with her plan for her family. Oliver said he was trying to watch out for Steffy and she confessed to being full of bitterness. To prove that she could be capable of more, Oliver drew Steffy into a kiss. Right on cue, Hope showed up. "Oliver? What are you doing?" she asked.

- Nissan rises to 65th place in Interbrand study, up from 73rd last year
- Value of the Nissan brand increases by 25% to $6.203 billion
YOKOHAMA, Japan, Sept. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Nissan has been named one of the world's most valuable brands for 2013, according to Interbrand, the world-leading brand consultancy. In the Best Global Brands Study, released today by Interbrand, Nissan ranked 65, up from 73 in 2012. The leading brand consultant noted Nissan's leadership in zero emissions mobility, as well as the roll-out of Nismo badged performance cars around the world, and said the brand resonates with a broad range of global consumers. The value of the Nissan brand was estimated at $6.203 billion, an increase from last year's value of nearly $5 billion.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130827/CL70277LOGO-b )
The ranking follows Nissan being named in June as one of the world's greenest brands for 2013 in Interbrand's Best Global Green Brands report. The Nissan LEAF is by far the world's best-selling 100% electric vehicle making the company the global leader in Zero Emissions mobility. Nissan ranked fifth overall out of 50 brands in that report.
"The power of our brand is a core pillar of our Nissan Power 88 strategic plan, which means that it's essential to our growth plan," said Roel de-Vries, Nissan Corporate Vice President and global head of marketing, brand and communications. "These rankings demonstrate we're on track to achieve the ambitious brand power goals we set in our mid-term plan."
The Best Global Brands study is Interbrand's annual report on the world's most valuable brands. Interbrand's method looks at the ongoing investment and management of the brand as a business asset, taking into account financial performance, the role of brand in the purchase decision process, and the strength of the brand.
In this year's study, Interbrand noted Nissan's global, multi-channel approach with a consistent message of innovation, which it said was the DNA of the brand. The report noted that demand is continuing to grow for the Nissan LEAF and that stronger consumer engagement will help Nissan achieve aggressive business targets, build loyalty and energize new audiences.

Seaside Heights kids who had been displaced by Hurricane Sandy recently found an inland refuge: Whiting.
On Friday, Dec. 7th, the Whiting Girl Scout Troop 415 held its annual Super Sweet Holiday Party for scouts and friends at the Whiting Elementary All-Purpose room.
But this years party was "extra special," troop leaders say, because the girls reached out to sister scouts from the Seaside Heights area.
"They invited Seaside kids affected by Hurricane Sandy to come as their guests to have a fun night out," troop leaders said.
Brownies and Daisies from Seaside Troop 286, as well as their siblings, welcomed the chance for a fun-filled night out and gladly accepted the invitation, troop leaders said.
"It was an awesome night for all, and the girls of Troop 415 did a great job with a great sense of community pride," troop leaders said.
Children decorated gingerbread houses and gingerbread cookies[ a DJ was on hand for the children to sing Holiday Karaoke; and there were crafts, hot cocoa and cookies and a visit from Santa Claus, courtesy of the Whiting Volunteer Fire Department.
Troop 415 collected many toys for Kevin's Kids. They did this by asking for participants to bring a new toy for donation in return for a chance ticket to win a Christmas gift basket, troop leaders said.
"The girls are looking forward to delivering the toys to Ridgeway school for the wrapping session this weekend," according to a release signed by Tara Klein, Lisa Mitchell and Jane Weber, leaders Troop 415.

On a Monday morning in November, two men sat on the edge of a field in Carpinteria, 85 miles north of Los Angeles. The older one, middle-aged, wiry and bareheaded, had the face of someone who has served in the military, worked in agriculture or, in his case, both. Alongside him was a younger man who wore a black kippah and looked, from his complexion, like he spends his days indoors.

Well chaps just a few days before the show hope to see some of you guys over there ... our stand is TD01 located left of the main entrance and prety close to it . so stop by have a chat a game and snoop for stuf that is coming ....
Man I wish i could go. Hope somebody takes pictures/videos of the new board and the 'stuff that is coming'
Indeed, wish I could go. It looks like it'll be a fantastic show.
Of course, though, you guys are coming to GenCon, right? :D
As much as we would love to, it won't be this year.
i'll be there, as will Odin
whole crew will be there
Well, I've decided I'm going to go.
Unfortunately I have no way to get there unless someone gives me a ride.
So if anyone's going to be headed through St. Louis, MO, USA, can you stop by and pick me up? I'll gladly pay my share for gas for the long drive to the UK.
Thanks. Just send me a PM for pick-up info. :D
Ill be at GH21 running Bushido demos for Wayland with Greeny - it would be nice to put faces to forum names so say hi when passing!
Will you post pictures of the new demo board before Salute?
Here is the board Wayland are providing - it's amazing!
And I'll tweet out pics through the day - @srudland
Awesome board and looking forward to the piccies of the con.
Rudders - That's a great looking board!
Hyabusa - Not before but we will put up a collection of photos and videos from the day.
Board looks fantastic might just have to come over and have a game on it.
I'll be there along with a few others to represent the fine city of Glasgow, and buy lots and lots of TOYS!!!! WOOOT!
edit: Also, that's a damn fine board.
I'm upset that nobody picked me up to take me with you all to Salute (and nobody even stopped by to get me to Adepticon! And it's only 5 hours drive away!). Hopefully some year, though.
I'll pick you up next year. I won't even charge you for petrol, just make your way to Balham station and I'll do the rest ...
Just saw the video with the new board and the Seishin na Goei mini on YouTube
They both look fantastic!!!
I am, however, a little confused as to how you play on that wonderful board as the only way across it is the bridge in the middle.
Or is that enough for a quick demo?
The water is only ankle deep so doesnt affect movement.

--- End quote ---
Hi there,
I know some have issues with boards doing this, but I do have a good reason. I would like members to be able to see some of the boards but have to request access.
The reason is that a couple of the forums are for a particular ministry area, such as counsel or prayer, and how will people know that they're there if they can't see them? It is for good intentions and not because we want to irritate or annoy people, we just want to restrict access to those who really need to be in those particular forums, but at the same time it would be great if members knew they were actually there if they need to make use of them. (Hope that wasn't too confusing!!:) )
Is there maybe a way around this....
Thanks to anyone who can help
Arantor Beeblebrox the First:
Look for the 'View Only Boards' mod.
Is there a way you can make it so people can only see what they posted in that board but not what other people posted. Only the staff can see who posted what
Unfortunately, not that I know of. That seems closer to something like the PM system or simpledesk mod.

Comments about Scarpa Kailash GTX (Women's):
I chose this boot because I thought it was the best choice of all the boots I tried on. It fits my foot perfectly and is Italian made, so I know it has high quality standards just like me. I wear custom superfeet in mine, and take the original sock liner out of the shoe before I put the superfeet in. I also have to lace them a special way to lock my heel in. The laces are harsh, and I recommend getting softer ones to spare your fingers. I like the stole stiffness, and feel comfortable carrying a heavy load several miles a day with these on my feet.

Regent Fit Plain-Front Classic Gabardine Trousers
$ 168.00
2 for $229
Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 16
Rated 2 out of 5 by JasonH2 Lacking quality and attention to detail
I purchased 3 pair of these pants in February of this year. After 7 months, the hem stitching of two of the pairs was coming undone. The stitching in the crotch of the 3rd pair was also coming undone. I took all 3 pair to my tailor who said he wasn't surprised as he sees lots of BB clothing come through his shop. Considering the price I paid that was disappointing to hear. He also mentioned that there was far too much material left in the hem; it was sloppy. I agree as there was a good 2-3 inches of material folded over. I am having the tailor redo the hem in all 3 pair. It's frustrating when I think about how little I wear these pants (1x/week). I have pants from "discount" mens stores that have held up for years under much heavier use. Come on you guys, get your act together.
September 14, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by MSB123 Good fit, poor everything else
I really like the fit of these pants; but the stiching and detail is poor. The pocket lining of both the navy and grey pants I received are white, which looks awful walking around. The stiching is comnig apart after 4 wears. The pant hem is already unraveled, in spite having it tailored at a local Brooks Brothers location. Too bad really, because I did like the fit.
February 22, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by Joe4 Overall Good, but those pockets!
I see a lot of the other comments are about the pockets. If you're considering these pants, you're probably saying to yourself, "What's the big deal if the pockets are white??? Who is going to see the pockets anyway???"
Well, the answer to that question is "Everyone is going to see your white pockets!" The pockets are so poorly designed that if you have ANYTHING in your pockets, the pants "pooch" to where the white is clearly visible. And not just a little bit.
And, yes, the pockets appear to be white in all colors.
I am pleased with everything else about these pants from fit to quality. If the pockets were fixed, they would be a winner. Overall, I still cannot recommend these as is. The pockets are that bad.
May 30, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Edmontonian Disappointing Quality
I had high hopes for these pants. Unfortunately the quality was lacking and I cannot recommend them to other potential purchasers. The seams along the sides of both pairs started to come apart after one wearing, as have the leg hems. The front button on one pair was also literally hanging by a thread when it arrived. I ended up taking them to a tailor, which was an expense I'd hoped to avoid by buying from BB.
November 24, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jdh8z9 Excellent Pant
I recently purchased five pairs of these pants and the quality is superior, along with the fit and appearance. My only issue is the white pocket lining. I would like to see tone on tone but its not a deal breaker.
I would recommend doing some more seasonial colors and patterns.
September 1, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by SVHUGHES great pants, poor quality
Pants are great but I was dissappointed by the quality. Out of the box the pants had strings dangling from the seams. The pant materials and fit are great however the quality is suspect.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Garadice Trimmer Dress Trousers
These trousers have a nice clean modern look to them. They have a lower rise and are trimmer in the leg and hips than the Madison fit.

I'm somewhere between a madison and regent. Some items I need one and sometimes the other. I have discovered that for gabardine slacks the regents are roomy enough in the waist and not baggy in the seat and leg.

My husband need to choose size 36/30 (trousers), his weight is 175 pounds, and I just want to know which fit he might need to choose?
1 year, 2 months ago
Be careful! The fits have radically changed from the old Brooks traditional fit. He may need 1-2 inches wider than normal fit to accommodate very tight thigh/seat area, unless he is rail thin.11 months ago

Hello, thank you for your inquiry. For your husband, we recommend that you choose either the Regent Fit Plain-Front Classic Gabardine trousers, or the Madison Fit Plain-Front Classic Gabardines. The Madison fit is relaxed and roomier, whereas the Regent fit is cut slimmer and may be a bit more snug than anticipated.We do hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your purchase.
Kind regards,

Because whenever I wear my gabardine suit trousers as odd pants with blazer, suit trousers look like it is missing a matching jacket.

Hello sir, thank you for your inquiry. There is little difference in the cut of the gabardine dress pants and those that come with a gabardine suit. The primary difference between the two ultimately comes down to color. Those that are included as part of your suit are woven from the same batch of yarns as the jacket and therefore look unified The dress trousers may have been woven at a different mill and are therefore different in color. Assuming the models (Regent, Milano, Madison or Fitzgerald) are the same, you should see no other difference in the cut of the trousers or the fit.We do hope this information is helpful.
Kind regards,
Brooks Brothers

An excellent question sir. The concern around the pocket fabric showing is a result of an improper fit. Plain front trousers have less give than their pleated brethren and many gentlemen opt to size up and have the waist taken in, in order to accommodate their seat more comfortably. Other than the few reviews mentioned here, we have not found this to be a common problem in stores and online. Of course, we will continue to pay close attention to this issue going forward.We do hope this information is helpful.
Kind regards,

Hello,The difference is in the fit of trousers. Fitzgerald fit is slimmer and tapered. Whereas, our Regents fit is slightly fuller.
Thank you for contacting us.

Are these pants ever going to be available in 30 waist? Also, if I were to order a pair with 32 waist, could they be taken in 2 inches? Finally, why can't these be altered online while ordering?
1 year ago
Hello, thank you for your inquiries. At this time, our Regent Fit Plain-Front Classic Gabardine Trousers are no longer available through our online store in a size 30 waist (we do have a 30 x 30 still). You may certainly contact Customer Service to see when they may become available once again, or to locate a pair in your local store. If you were to select a size 32, you could, conceivably, tailor them to have a smaller waist size but any more than a size up or down could compromise the integrity of the trousers.We advise that you take all garments to a trusted tailor to have them altered based off your specific measurements, taken in person. Having them tailored without trying them on first could result in an improper fit.
For Customer Service, please call 800/274-1815 or email email@example.com and a representative will gladly assist with additional questions.
We do hope this information is helpful in your decision.
Kind regards,
Brooks Brothers

Governors missing the point on Medicaid
Over the past several months, Governors Chris Christie of New Jersey, Rick Scott of Florida, and John Kasich of Ohio -- all Republicans -- have announced support for the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) Medicaid expansion. They join 22 other states and the District of Columbia in expanding the health insurance program for low-income Americans.
But more than a dozen of their counterparts in other states have decided against implementing the expansion, and the fight goes on in several states including Florida and Ohio where Scott and Kasich face hurdles in getting expansion through their state legislatures. Many have said these decisions are based on fears that expansion will cost states money in the longer-term. Yet, recent RAND research suggests that the economic arguments against state implementation may be questionable, especially for some lower-income states.
In a recent report on the effect of health care reform on Arkansas, we estimated that, in addition to covering 400,000 more people (in a state with fewer than 3 million people), the law would produce substantial economic growth by increasing net federal spending in the state. Other states that have similarly low median incomes should expect comparable benefits.
The expansion of Medicaid eligibility to most people with incomes below 138 percent of the Federal Poverty Level -- or about $15,000 for an individual and $30,000 for a family of four -- will provide health insurance to tens of millions of uninsured people nationwide. Once these newly-insured people have health insurance, they can establish a stable medical home where doctors and nurses can provide more consistent and cost-effective care. At the same time, the health care providers who treat them will be paid for the services they deliver. These payments will result in income that will be spent in the local economy, taxed by state and local governments, and contribute to economic growth and job creation.
Prior to 2017, states will not be required to contribute any money for the Medicaid expansion. Even when the contribution rates hit their peak in 2020, states will be responsible for contributing just 10 percent of the costs.
Some governors contend that 10 percent is too much, but our analysis shows that a decision not to expand Medicaid overlooks some critical facts.
-- While last year's U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the ACA gave states a choice regarding participation in Medicaid expansion, they were not given the power to opt out of other provisions of the law. This means all states, including those that opt-out of Medicaid expansion, will be subject to the more costly provisions of the law, such as the individual mandate, Medicare cuts, and tax increases. These provisions will take money out of states regardless of their decision on Medicaid.
-- Medicaid expansion's impact on state economies goes well beyond the 10 percent states will eventually be required to contribute. Additional spending on Medicaid beginning in 2017 will generate economic growth and tax revenues from money spent in the broader economy by the health care industry and its workers.
-- Without Medicaid expansion, costs from caring for the uninsured may lead to higher prices for those who do pay for treatment and for states. States currently spend tens of billions of dollars each year on uncompensated care costs for the uninsured.
So while a governor or legislator may disagree with Medicaid expansion for philosophical reasons, the claims that the expansion will be a burden on states' economies seem misguided given the full range of projected economic impacts on the states. The fact is that not expanding Medicaid will hurt state economies.
This is even true for states that do not have lower-than-average incomes. For example, recent work we conducted on Pennsylvania found that money from expanding Medicaid would create jobs and lead to increased economic growth. While Pennsylvania will incur additional costs associated with the expansion of Medicaid, these costs will be partially offset by increased tax revenues.
Thus, the Medicaid expansion appears to not only make sense from a coverage perspective, but also a bottom-line perspective. While states will be asked to pay more after 2016, these cost increases are small when compared to the potential for economic growth, job creation, and enhanced public health brought on by Medicaid expansion.

Holiday Gift Guide Flashback: A Dark Lord Christmas
Posted by David Torres Categories: Editorial, Features, Toys, Kids
I was nine years old and I was a huge Star Wars fan. I was looking forward to Christmas like every kid and I hoped to get a ton of Star Wars stuff.
Christmas morning finally came and back then I would try to sneak out of bed at four or five in the morning so I could start playing. Sometimes I would get caught and I was told to go back to bed, but I always came out later after the coast was clear.
That Christmas I woke up early and quickly ran to the living room to start opening my presents. Every gift I opened was a toy. I don't remember all of the stuff I got, but as I said it was all toys!
I went searching to the back of the tree to see if there was anything I missed and I found a present in the shape of a rectangle. This meant it was shirt box – clothes! Ugh. I tossed it back and buried it under some of my sibling's presents.

Holiday Gift Guide 2008: Fisher-Price Elmo Live
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Features, Toys, Kids, Under $100
Once again, Elmo is here to take over the holiday, causing parking lot brawls between otherwise-normal parents. Back in 1996, Tickle Me Elmo flew off store shelves. 12 years later, Elmo Live tells jokes, sings songs, plays games, and tells stories. Oh, and he still laughs too. The biggest change, though, is thatElmo's mouth actually moves when he talks, along with the rest of his body. He also moves his arms, nods his head, stands up, sits down, among other things, all with a squeeze of his foot. I was at Target the other day, and almost every shopping cart with a kid in it had one, and at one moment, I literally heard 7 of these things going at once, simply due to the carts being in close proximity. This is one of the big toy gifts this year. Elmo Live sells for $65.99, but we found it on Amazon for 9% off, at $59.88.
Holiday Gift Guide 2008: Hasbro Lazer Tag Multiplayer Battle System
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Features, Toys, Video Games, Kids, Teens, Under $100
Here's the cool thing about Hasbro's Lazer Tag Multiplayer Battle System - you can play and shoot each other in a group, running around as you normally would during a game of Laser Tag, which is always fun - or you can go it along with the television attachment, which turns the system into a one-player video game where you shoot the bad guys on the TV. The set includes the TV attachment, two tag guns, and two pump-action shot blast attachments. When your hit, a rumble pack makes it obvious, you've got a manual reload button to refill your shots after every ten that you fire, and a shield button. The set retails for $79.99, but we found it for 13% less on Amazon, at $69.96.
2007 Holiday Gift Guide: SanDisk Sansa Shaker
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Features, Music, Portable Audio / Video, Kids
If your children are anything like my three-year old son, then chances are that they are just as familiar with your gadgets as you are. They want to hold them, use them, mimicking you every step of the way. The thing is, gadgets aren't the most affordable things in the world, and children don't seem to understand that. This is where the SanDisk Sansa Shaker comes in - it's a fully-functional flash MP3 player that is meant for little kids. SanDisk did a good job with this one too - just holding it you can tell it's durable. It has two built-in headphone jacks for tandem enjoyment, as well as a speaker if you prefer your children not put on headphones. It's called the Shaker because, when you sake it, you advance it to another track, shuffle-style. It is shaped perfectly for little hands, and has a couple of job wheels for volume and track selection. The device runs on one AAA battery, which will last for about 8 hours of playback. You can pick one up for $30, which holds 512 MB of content (about 120 songs) or opt for the $40 1 GB player, which will hold about 240 tracks. They are available in pink and blue.

2006 Holiday Gift Guide: Nintendo DS Lite
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Features, Video Games, Kids, Teens
The Nintendo DS Lite is all about improving the whole Nintendo DS experience. The original was a bit clunky (although some preferred it's size) and had a fairly dim screen. Not so with the DS Lite. The new model looks great, featuring the same touchscreen gameplay with 33% less bulk. While you get the same in-game functionality as the original DS, we still think it's worth the upgrade. Forget the fact that the graphics aren't on par with the PSP - the Nintendo DS blows it away in terms of the selection of games available in it's vast library. Add in online gaming through the Nintendo WiFi connection, and this one is a winner.

2006 Holiday Gift Guide: Nintendo Wii
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Features, Home Entertainment, Video Games, Family, Women, Men, Kids, Techies, Teens
With Wii, Nintendo seems to be poised to be the talk of the videogame town once again. Wii (pronounced "wee") doesn't match up to the PLAYSTATION 3 or Xbox 360 in terms of processing power, but makes up for it by boasting the best library of classic games on the planet, along with what many consider to be the most user-friendly controller ever to grace a home console. The Wii Remote (or Wiimote as it's affectionately known) has a built-in accelerometer that works with a sensor bar that sits above or below your television. It senses movement and tilt in three dimensions, and even has a speaker for audible feedback directly out of the controller itself along with force feedback. Throw in built-in WiFi, and you have a console that is ready to download classic games from the 80s and 90s, as well as interacting with other Wii owners around the globe.

Food safety tips from a pro
Bill Marler: Consumers need to consider eating a 'contact sport'
For the last 20 years, attorney Bill Marler has represented victims of nearly every large foodborne illness outbreak in the United States, securing $600,000,000 for victims of E. coli, Salmonella, and other illnesses linked to tainted food. Marler is an outspoken advocate for food safety, and maintains the Food Safety Site and the award-winning Marler Blog.
He's picked up a safety tip or two along the way -- as well as a definitive personal do-not-eat list.
Bill Marler: 6 tips for safer food shopping, storage, preparation and buying
After 20 years of doing this, I think consumers need to consider eating a "contact sport."
1. Always mistrust claims that some type of food is safer or better for you than other food. Someone is usually hiding something from you.
2. Be on guard and do not be afraid to wash your hands or wipe down a grocery cart.
3. Pay attention to cross-contamination in your shopping and your kitchen. Use the plastic bags in the store to keep food separate.
4. Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold.
5. Wash your produce well and cook your meat even hotter.
6. When going out to eat, it is OK to check the restaurant's safety record and to send back food that is not properly prepared. Your life may depend on it.
Marler's do-not-eat list
People ask me all the time what I do not eat. Here is my list: raw milk, unpasteurized juices, sprouts, ground meat of any kind, bagged leafy green and food that is processed so much that you question if it is food.

3 possible tornados reported in Oklahoma
Apr 14, 2012
Also in this playlist...
Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
-- we Begin with a dangerous weather conditions over much of the country right now three possible tornadoes have been reported in Oklahoma this morning.
But the National Weather Service says the worst may come this afternoon.
For only the second time in history the national weather storm prediction center.
Issues a high risk warning more than 24 hours in advance.
Mike Tobin is standing by live in Norman Oklahoma where a tornado touched down there late yesterday might.
-- The high puma we -- looking around Norman Oklahoma -- as you mentioned the tornado touched down yesterday and what we're seeing right now.
Is damage that isn't as extensive as we have seen from other -- tornadoes we can look outside of his vehicle.
Right now what you see a lot of the power crews trying to restore electricity see a lot of trees down.
You see a lot of homes that have had their roofs torn off now a viewer didn't catch video.
All of this funnel cloud as it descended on Norman Oklahoma at great risk to well to him or her -- It very dramatic video as a -- a funnel cloud touched down not.
That severe of a tornado particularly in this part of the country where people build their house is very strong so the kind of damage were -- things like -- parts of the roof.
That -- torn off about nineteen people were injured the hospital tells us those injuries were mostly bumps and bruises.
A tornadoes touched down in other parts of the the state we know what 1 AM yesterday a tornado touched down.
Around Oklahoma City.
-- this really is the undercard fight.
For what should prove to be a very dramatic day -- in this unique situation.
Where the meteorologists or be able to tell us that all of the ingredients are going into the cake next to kick up some wild storms -- very likely will kick up some very severe tornadoes.
So the people here in this area are told the B.
Whether -- where.
Meeting they need to stay close to their Smartphones they need to watch the weather maps they need to watch their local news in the local weather forecast -- close to a radio.
But most importantly.
Have a go bag ready and know where there's a sheltered that they can go to in this part of the country just like in Texas the houses are not built.
With basements they're built on slab foundations are built on pier and -- foundation.
Now because they have the solid brick construction the -- -- will stand up to an EF two or an EF three that type of tornado.
But they will not stand up to be EF fours and EF five to -- -- the emergency crews call -- scrapers when you see.
An area where an EF five has come through it really looks like the homes haven't been built yet.
All that's left is the foundation so the only way to survive is to somehow get -- what the people in this part of the country do you have.
Is is our storm shelters that they have built into the ground for a lot of people know that they've got a storm shelter.
Or a neighbor has a storm shelter and they've got to be prepared to get ready to get into those now for a bigger look at the forecast and how this is gonna hit all across the country.
Let's go to Maria Molina in the weather center.
My kids -- -- -- -- -- there and yeah we hope that everyone has taken this high risk for severe weather that has been issued for today very seriously is only the second time in history.
That has been issued this far in advance so we -- -- yesterday that areas.
Along the center of the country like Oklahoma where you are Kansas and Nebraska are going to see severe weather and you mentioned that some of those homes can sustain EF two -- EF three damage.
We could likely -- EF four an EF five tornado so again we hope that everyone takes this.
Where it's very seriously and has a plan and knows what to do when -- tornado warnings get issued.
As we head throughout the day today and we already are seeing some storms firing up a lot of sent -- a country we do have one tornado watch.
That has been issued for parts of central Kansas.
And also northwestern Oklahoma and this is not just any tornado watch but some.
Some of those long track.
Very violent tornadoes of EF four EF five strengths and that could last for several minutes to an hour and just continue move for miles on and so here you have some of those showers and storms -- -- -- -- fire up across parts.
Of western Kansas.
This particular watch -- -- in effect until 6 PM central daylight time so we're going to be looking out for any tornado warnings that get issued right now none artifact just severe thunderstorm warnings.
Because it's not just tornadoes that we're concerned about a very large size hail and very strong wind -- and the highest risk for today we'll start from Oklahoma.
Up into portions.
Of Nebraska and again this is very rare that we see a high risk advisory issued by the storm prediction center from the National Weather Service.
Make cities on the lineup here Oklahoma City -- -- and all hostile big population areas.
That will be looking at -- -- -- for us some very strong storms severe greens aren't place tomorrow we're talking not very warm moist air -- in this system.
The storm right now in the four corners it's gonna exit had eastward and we could be looking -- severe weather into the overnight hours.

Tell us about this design.We had tried with a previous design to capture the entirety of Sarah's journey through the film but it just didn't work well as a shirt. We love the movie so much that we hit the drawing board to try again. We looked closely at the work of Kari Fry (amazing) and the way she's able to work so many characters into a cohesive design. Energized from that, we re-watched the movie a couple times. That's when we realized that the final scene of the movie pretty much gave us everything we needed to work with.
What is your most unexpected or exciting memory?In recent memory, the most exciting thing has been building a brand around our art. Every step we take gets us more and more excited! As a family business, it's great for keeping us close and giving us shared memories.
If you could make anyone besides yourself Ruler of the Universe, who would you choose and why?Richard Rahl. Those who know him will agree ;)
Do you have any surprising talents or hobbies?Absolutely none... This is depressing...
Would you rather own an awesome robot or become an awesome robot?Clearly BECOMING an awesome robot! Science fiction has shown us that robots will turn on their masters... we wouldn't want to risk it.
Disney vs. Pixar: which would win the battle?We're pretty sure Pixar has already won the war.
Describe your ideal day.Rehearse lines for a play in the park, get home late, yell at our stepmother, curse our little brother to the Goblin King, get lost in a psychotic maze of puppets, rescue our little brother, befriend psychotic maze inhabitants. Sounds pretty cool.
Any shout outs?All of our awesome friends in the RBA, whom collectively are the most talented and degenerate artists on the web! And of course thanks to the sickeningly talented Kari Fry for the inspiration and kindness. Check her out dudes, seriously: KariFry.com and facebook.com/keefry
