Suffolk University is a teaching and research institution committed to promoting the ethical conduct of human subjects research in accordance with the guiding principles outlined in the Belmont Report, the Nuremberg Code and federal regulations codified in the 45 CFR 46 Common Rule under the auspices of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Suffolk University holds a Federal-wide Assurance (FWA) with the Office of Human Research Protections (OHRP) that articulates the institution's commitment to complying with government, state and local policies governing human subject research.
All research involving human participants conducted under the auspices of Suffolk University requires the independent and prospective review and approval by the Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB is comprised of faculty, staff, and non-affiliated members who are charged with reviewing all human subjects research conducted by Suffolk University faculty, staff and students in accordance with current HHS and FDA regulations and guidelines. The IRB is charged with ensuring the protection of research participants through the integrity of the informed consent process as well as safeguarding the confidentiality of personally identifiable information associated with the collection of data on research participants.
Required Training
Suffolk University offers the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) program as its human subjects research ethics training curriculum. All individuals working directly with human subjects or data that can be linked back to individual subjects must complete human subjects research training requirements every two years. Research protocols will not be reviewed prior to the completion of training by all study team personnel. To complete CITI you must first register by visiting the training log-in webpage, clicking on the 'Register Here' link and affiliating yourself with Suffolk University as the Participating Institution. Initial training requirements can be met by completing the Basic Course for Social and Behavioral Research Investigators.
The IRB also serves as a privacy board to ensure compliance with the privacy rules defined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). As such, it acts upon requests for waivers or alterations of the Authorization requirement under the Privacy Rule for uses and disclosures of protected health information (PHI) for research purposes.
The main purpose of the IRB is to ensure the ethical conduct of human subject research by protecting the rights and welfare of human subjects who take part in such research. In its review of proposed research activities involving human subjects the IRB seeks to ensure that:
- Risks to subjects are minimized. The IRB evaluates whether procedures performed on subjects are consistent with sound research design and do not unnecessarily expose subjects to risk.
- Risks to subjects are reasonable in relation to any benefits that might be expected from taking part in a research study and to the importance of the knowledge that may result.
- Selection of subjects is fair and equitable. The IRB seeks to determine that no eligible individuals are denied the opportunity to take part in any study, particularly those from which they may benefit, based on an arbitrary criterion such as gender, age or language barriers.
- Planned recruitment and consent procedures will result in voluntary participation and that informed consent will be obtained from each prospective subject or where appropriate, from the subject's legally authorized representative.
- The research plan provides for monitoring the data collected to ensure the safety of subjects.
- There are adequate provisions to protect the privacy of subjects and to maintain the confidentiality of data collected on research participants.

Can The State Department Back Up Their Claim That North Korea Is Not Sponsoring Terrorism?
Last week, I led a group of Republican senators that wrote to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urging her to immediately relist North Korea as a State Sponsor of Terrorism and we also introduced an amendment to force the Obama Administration into action. Yesterday on ABC's This Week, I was pleased to hear Secretary Clinton's response that they are now considering relisting North Korea. | Read More »

Forget by-laws, let's talk right and wrong.
Bianca Muller
Media discussion of Occupy Wall Street has been frustrating, tiptoeing around the big picture with the technicalities of municipal law and other spin-off issues. Coverage of Occupy NS itself has dwindled into arguments over the handling of the Victoria Park eviction and the treatment of those arrested.
By-law P-600 states that camping is not allowed in public parks. Shouldn't we be asking why laws like this exist in the first place? Or why they are pulling rank over the spirit of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms?

Scam on Facebook steals debit card numbers | Crime
Title (Max 100 Characters)
(WMC-TV) - My good friends at the Better Business Bureau and FraudAvengers are begging you. They're pleading with you.
Don't fall for a debit card discount offer on Facebook.
Both watchdog groups have warned us about an unsolicited offer on Facebook pages. The offer: 20 percent cash back if people link their debit cards to their Facebook pages.
I know, I know. Sounds insane, right?
The problem is there are perfectly sane people out there typing their debit card numbers on their Facebook profiles faster than you can say "identity theft," all for a fake 20 percent cut.
If you follow through, the BBB said you will launch a malware virus on your computer.
"The malware scam is particularly malicious because the fraudulent offers appear to come from trusted friends," said the BBB in its contribution to FraudAvengers.
BBB's and FraudAvengers' tips for avoiding Facebook scams:
- Never install a game or an application that you're not entirely sure is legitimate.
- Be wary of posts from friends that use overtly promotional language.
- Never click on Facebook posts or install applications that claim they will tell you which of your friends viewed your profile. It's impossible to find out who is viewing your profile.
- If you mistakenly install an application on Facebook, click the "Home" icon in the top right-hand corner of the site, and go to "Account Settings." On the right-hand column of the page click on the icon that says "Apps," and uninstall the suspect application.

If you're talking OU, then Luxray is not good and most everyone knows it. I personally have found Forretress to be very useful. It is incredibly useful at setting up hazards and spinning and is almost always guaranteed to do at least one of those due to its ability in Sturdy. It can sponge strong Outrages and set up in the face of whatever dragon is raging. I've also found it very useful with Volt Switch in bringing in a Pokemon as to take no damage and start sweeping through an opposing team.
Yeah but its meager SpDef stat lets it down somewhat....Volt Switch is pretty neat though.
And I also think Espeon is overrated. Its meant to counter hazard-setters, but it seems too frail too run a bulky set, and people can predict soo easily when it switches in, catching it with a Gyro Ball or Crunch.
PS: Did anyone here try a all-out attacker for Espeon..? I mean it has the speed (outspeeding terrakion) and definitely the offense.
Credit to Equal to Heaven and Extroph
Don't use it against special attackers :P
Espeon can run a good dual screening set, anything other than that I have found to be pretty much a let down and I could find better Pokemon to fill its spot. Alakazam performs much better as an all out attacker than Espeon.
The point of using Espeon is not to block entry hazards indefinitely in the same way that a Skarmory walls a Scizor indefinitely, or that a Chansey walls a special attacker indefinitely. The point of using Espeon is to temporarily block entry hazards (Focus Sash guarantees that it survives at least one turn) while weakening their users with its powerful special attacks such as Grass Knot, Hidden Power [Fighting] and Psyshock, before sacrificing Espeon itself, and then using a different Pokémon in the team to revenge-kill the opponent's entry hazard setter before they get the chance to set any hazards. As such, a team that expects to be able to keep entry hazards off the field with Espeon should naturally have immense offensive presence among its other members as well to decrease the chance of the opponent sneaking in a chance to set up entry hazards later on in the match (for example, against something slow and not particularly threatening offensively such as Chansey or Ferrothorn. Basically, a team that uses Espeon should be as offensive as possible and avoid using slow and non-threatening walls as much as possible).
As such, an Espeon whose purpose is to counter entry hazards and an "all-out attacking" Espeon (or more preferably, one with three attacks + Yawn, which is a great move with excellent utility) are not mutually exclusive, but rather go hand-in-hand with each other. Because regardless of how bulky one tries to make their Espeon, it is never going to indefinitely stop the opponent's Pokémon from setting up entry hazards all by itself anyway (meaning such an Espeon has to be offensive and work together with its teammates to prevent the opponent from setting up entry hazards), while if one were to use an offensive Espeon without having the goal of countering entry hazards (or status effects, for that matter) in mind, then they may as well use a different special attacker such as Alakazam or Latios.
The Mere Pokémon Trainers in the Dark
Because the light of Truth is forever beyond their reach, they are doomed to wander the darkness for all eternity.
When they come upon just a glimmer in the dark, they flock around it as if it was the light of Truth,
Like moths flocking around a flame as if it was the light of the Moon.
Thus the glimmers in the dark are glorified though they are as distant from the Truth as Earth is from Heaven.
The glorification of such false lights further seperates their believers from the Truth.
And so the throne of the Great Pokémon Master ascends relative to the rest of the world.
I actually find Scizor pretty over rated for the most part. Don't get me wrong, he's a deadly mon... When used by the right person. Most people I encounter just don't seem to know how to use him right (even when your in the 1700's) and this is probably largely due to the prediction it is required to use scizor's most common set; choice band. I feel like most people should run life orb/ e-belt sets but who want's to lose that bit of power for a little bit of ease in prediction? Not a lot it seems, plus the swords dance set just doesn't have half the utility of it's other sets. So overall I find scizor pretty overrated, even if I only mean by who uses it
Cloyster is overrated. Keep Stealth Rock up and it will never ever have a chance to set up Shell Smash, unless you're a noob.
Kyurem-B is NOT overrated. Noobs are using the Choice Scarf set because they think "OMG such a good revenge killer", but no. Kyurem-B is better as a bulky Bander in my opinion, though it does suffer from retarded movepool and crap typing. Don't mess with its Outrage, though.
None of those are counters, actually. Espeon can't take Bullet Seed or Seed Bomb, and the rest of them fear Spore. Breloom is great.
Oh yeah and Espeon sucks. Team Preview destroys Magic Bounce, and Ferrothorn can be EVed to OHKO Espeon with Gyro Ball
<TLCNU> Escavalier literally is 2HKOed by Stoutland Fire Fang, Metang was undoubtedly the much better choice.
SuperSkarmory | PokeCommunity
Hitler learns that Genesect, Deoxys-D and Landorus-I are ubers!
Not always noobs. That speed is part of the reason Kyurem-B didn't makes ubers.
I think the problem is that choice band and a stealth rock weakness don't make a good combo. Not to mention, locking yourself into Outrage is extremely risky. Yeah, all dragons have the steel type problem, but this guy has that and has poor speed and typing, making it easy to revenge kill as well.
Though, to be fair, they are all checks. And this metagame is ruled by offensive checks.None of those are counters, actually. Espeon can't take Bullet Seed or Seed Bomb, and the rest of them fear Spore. Breloom is great.
A lot of people just fail to see the difference.Well, it could go for Dual Screens without fear of taunt, but I've found Latios to do that better. No one in their right mind would taunt that thing.Oh yeah and Espeon sucks. Team Preview destroys Magic Bounce, and Ferrothorn can be EVed to OHKO Espeon with Gyro Ball
Dragonite: Multiscale is really all it has going for it. Take away that and it is out done by Hydeigon Mence etc
Haxorus: Haxorus has simalar problems that Dragonite has. Especially its speed. Haxorus also has a huge attack stat but it is slower than the other dragons in the tier making it an easy target for all of them. To get around them it has to rely on Dragon Dance (Or potentially a scarf but I have never seen that on Haxorus) and when you have that as well as all the other problems Dragon Types have to deal with it makes it one of the least valuable dragon types in the OU tier. Also it has the most shallow movepool of all the dragons in OU. I mean I guess it gets Night Slash and Poison Jab and X Scissor which most of the others do not but those moves are not that useful for it in competitive.
Lucario: Again mostly because its speed can hinder it. Also its Steel typing I have found to often be more of a problem than a good thing since it is now threatened by more things than other fighting types.
Spoiler:- Credits:
Dragonite also has access to reliable recovery in the form of Roost to 1) keep it's health at Multiscale level and 2) make it very difficult (if not impossible) to slowly wear it down.
Multiscale, when at full HP, pretty much guarantees it a setup turn because very few pokemon, even with Ice type attacks, can OHKO through Multiscale. Even at +1/+1, Dragonite can do serious damage to the opposing team thanks to it's very high Attack. Only Heatran walls Fire/Dragon while only Levitate Bronzong and Skarmory walls Ground/ Dragon (However Bronzong loses to Haxorus, regardless of ability, because Mold Breaker nullifies Levitate) and none of these are anything more than walls (though Heatran and Skarmory can phase it out).
Dragonite for me is the overrated of this current generation. No thanks to Multiscale. No status or stealth rock, or Ice shard, you're dead. Scizor Fears Dragonite to a pedigree. Sadly, I carry none of those counters to my team. As a semi competitive battler myself, only my Jirachi Favors well against it.
The Gen 1 contestants are demanding payback to us. Dragonite is the Optimus prime example of them all with Alakazam as Second
I find Volcarona to be just a bit overrated. Maybe its due to the prevalence of rain team or hazards or due to the amount of team support it needs. DOn't get me wrong, it can sweep, but I do find the amount of team support needed to be a bit overwhelming.

I've been reading some of your posts, and I think you have the definition of overrated wrong. Overrated means that they are held in high regard, but they really shouldn't be. Basically, they're not as good as other people say they are. What you've been saying sounds like Overpowered, which means that they are too strong for the current metagame, whether they don't have enough counters or are just flat out broken. I Bolded a main quote that makes me think that you're misunderstanding. That's a sign of overpoweredness, not overratedness.
Now on to what I think is Overrated. To me, Vaporeon is extremely overrated. The only thing that make sit stand out imo, is its rest/hydration combo. But even that doesn't appeal to me because you HAVE to have rain up for it to work. As a special wall, I feel it is outclassed by Gastrodon and Jellicent. Gastrodon can completely wall Thundurus-t and Rotom-w and Jellicent can be a better mixed wall and can spin block. It also gets access to will-o-wisp so you don't have to rely on scald burns, as well as taunt. For me, Vaporeon is just can't do its job as well as other pokes.
Open your mind and you shall feel
that everything around you is more than real.
As time fades away and as we get old,
our memories will last framed in gold.
And when we're done, that final day,
what will they know about you? What will they say?
Out of all the things I say, hear this somehow.
We've only got one life to live, and it starts now.
Interested in the ASB? Read our Getting Started thread! Got a question? Go to our Q/A thread.
I get what you mean. But even with this in account I still find it to be way less threatening than other dragons in the tier. At +1 +1 Dragonite is still pretty easy to take down since even with its speed at +1 I notice there are still a good amount of Pokemon that will still outspeed it just because of its not so good base speed. And if its Multiscale is broken which honestly is just not that hard to keep off even if Dnite does have Roost (Im also starting to see Roost as uncommon on Dnite. Four-move syndrome hurts) Dnite is finished. I guess what I mean is if you are playing a experienced person good predicting is really all they need to get around Roost and if Dnite is not carrying Roost (Which is usually how it is) then well Dragonite is just really not that threatening compared to others.
I think the Rest Hydration is really its only big thing that it has to offer. I guess it has really big HP which is good for it and I admit Vaporeon IS a good Pokemon I would just rather use a different Pokemon over it in most cases
Spoiler:- Credits:
If you mean 'scarfed revengekillers', the only ones off the top of my head who can flat out KO it from high health are Scarf Terrakion (who easily loses to misprediction, in the case Drag switches to something like Bronzong or, worse, Gliscor to take the incomming Stone Edge), Ice Shard Mammoswine and (surprisingly) Choice Scarf Cinccino (who does 74-87% to a neutral-natured 4 HP/ 0 Def Dragonite with a Skill-Linked Rock Blast), all of which are dealt with by Scizor, Mach Punch Conkledurr and (to a lesser extent) Infernape with their priority punches. If you lost your scarfed revengekiller and wall to stuff like Scizor and Gothetelle, Dragonite is going to have an easy time getting in and setting up. By the way, +1 Speed on a positive-natured Base 80 speed pokemon with 252 EVs outspeeds a base 120 speed pokemon with the same EVs and nature without the boost (494 compared to 409), so not much other than scarfers can easily catch and take it down.
Dragonite can easily come in on something like Ferrothorn and set up. Multiscale is only meant to grant it temporary protection, but that's usually enough to give it the necessary monentum to have it begin sweeping. Even with Stealth Rock out, DNite has an easy time setting up if it switches into something that can't do much to it anyway.And if its Multiscale is broken which honestly is just not that hard to keep off even if Dnite does have Roost (Im also starting to see Roost as uncommon on Dnite. Four-move syndrome hurts) Dnite is finished.
Slaking can perform really, really well if you are consistently spot-on with prediction. Do you see him in OU? Choiced items, while providing an automatic +1 boost in a stat, leave the user very easily beaten by being outpredicted. Why are they being used so frequently?I guess what I mean is if you are playing a experienced person good predicting is really all they need to get around Roost and if Dnite is not carrying Roost (Which is usually how it is) then well Dragonite is just really not that threatening compared to others.
My point is that, most of the time, Pokemon is 70% prediction and 30% skill. You could lose to ten noobs in a row but then destroy more than ten pros in a row solely due to luck and (miss)prediction, both partly due to the player and RNG. Some playstyles (ie. Hyper Offense) aim to reduce this, but prediction will always be a dominant element in pokemon battling.
Dragonite may not be so much of a threat to you, but it is a serious threat to others who aren't so skilled in prediction.
Dragonite can't do crap to Ferrothorn if rain is active. However, it can set up on many other things and ... it's just GG.
Ambipom, Milotic and Dusclops are overrated in UU. They are outclassed by many other things, and Dusclops is just a sitting duck that spreads burns.
<TLCNU> Escavalier literally is 2HKOed by Stoutland Fire Fang, Metang was undoubtedly the much better choice.

True. Ambipom is one of those niche pokemon. But why dusclops? It's near impossible to OHKO, burn can be very tiresome, and Painsplit gives it some form of recovery, and it does decent damage, taking into account its horrible Hp stat.
Actually, after gaining a lot of experience in competitive battling, I have to say that no pokemon is really Overrated.
The Fake Out thing is done much, much better by Mienshao. Ambipom is too weak to hit steels and rock-types with Low Sweep/Kick, and it's OHKOed by everything. Mienshao at least has 125 physical attack, STAB Hi Jump Kick, and guess what? Decent special attack. Hidden Power Ice wipes the floor with Gligar, something Ambipom can't dream of doing(even with Ice Punch, I don't think it can even learn that though.) I also don't think STAB Return is enough to make Ambipom worth using. Choice Band Snorlax is much better at hitting hits hard than Ambipom. It also has Beat Up, but Weavile does that 1000x better, not to mention he also has Swords Dance and the ability to Pursuit targets.
Ambipom sucks, pure and simple.

That's right, especially in OU where almost anything are decent enough to get their jobs done. Some n00ns pokes such as pikachu, eelektross, charizard, or other pokes that often can be found in the merciless upper tiers are probably the obvious example of the most overrated pokemon in the poke universe.
Eelektross is not completely useless. Unlike Electivire, it actually HAS DECENT BULK, no weaknesses, and a good Special Attack stat. It also has Superpower and Grass Knot. FailVire is the one that can't do crap.

You don't really get how Ambipom works, do you? How does Mienshao use Fake out better when Ambipom has a Technician+STAB fake out, the strongest fake out among all pokemon? It's speed stat is 10 points above Mienshao's, allowing it to usually use U-turn before the opponent. Continuous Fake Outs and U-Turns wear the opponent's team down, while at the same time giving crucial momentum to the other pokemon on your Volt-turn team, and no other pokemon can replicate the way Ambipom does it.
Um, Charizard and Pikachu are in NU, the lowest tier. We're talking about pokemon that are in a higher tier than they should be (that's what I thought anyway)Some n00ns pokes such as pikachu, eelektross, charizard, or other pokes that often can be found in the merciless upper tiers are probably the obvious example of the most overrated pokemon in the poke universe.
Indeed they're NU, but my point is since these pokes' performance are highly overrated, sometimes in a rare occasion we can find them in upper tiers like OU or above. Scarf Solar Power Charizard in a sun team for example, on paper it may look devastating & poweful, but in reality it's sucks balls.
Anyway, Metagross will probably fall into both underrated & overrated category, depends on its moveset.

Monica Hesse's weekly chat debated selfie etiquette, Twitter vs. live TV and other Internet-related news.

11:00 AM | Real Wheels Live |
12:00 PM | Carolyn Hax Live: Hootenanny of Holiday Horrors 2013 (Friday, Dec. 13) |
Anne-Marie Slaughter wrote a provocative piece in The Atlantic entitled "Why Women Still Can't Have It All." It inspired a lot of discussion. Some were upset that she would put a damper on the ambitions of so many young women. Others praised her for telling it like it is.
My friend Nora Ephron, who died last week, gave the commencement speech in 1996 at Wellesley, her alma mater. In her speech, she said, "This is the season when a clutch of successful women – who have it all – give speeches to women like you and say, to be perfectly honest, you can't have it all. Maybe young women don't wonder whether they can have it all any longer, but in case any of you are wondering, of course you can have it all… It will be a little messy, but embrace the mess. It will be complicated, but rejoice in the complications." And she added: "you can always change your mind. I know. I've had four careers and three husbands."
Nora wasn't kidding about the mess and the complications. This is why the whole question of "having it all" is irrelevant. I don't even know what it means. My interpretation, and I think that of most women, is that it means having a great marriage, being a terrific mother and having a successful career all at the same time. I don't know a single woman who has ever been able to manage all of this simultaneously without putting something or someone first some of the time.
The interesting thing is that in the nearly 45 years that we were friends, through all of the mess and complications of both of our lives, Nora and I never had a conversation about whether we could have it all. We did the best we could. It became clear that throughout much of that time we were both trying to "do" it all but we rarely "had" it all. There's a big difference. We had husbands, we had children, we had careers. I think the biggest meltdown Nora and I ever shared with each other, (separately) was over nannies gone bad.
Certainly for me there were times when I put one before the other.You have to choose. Before I had my son, Quinn, I would alternate between putting my marriage first and my career first. After Quinn was born with a hole in his heart, had surgery at age 3 months, then developed medical problems and learning disabilities, my choices were obvious. Quinn came first, then my husband, whose support I desperately needed, and then my so-called career, which languished for sixteen years. Most women don't have to face choices quite so dramatic. Some might have had different priorities which worked better for them. This is what worked for me.
I think where this whole argument went off the rails is when women began to judge each other for their different choices. I don't understand why one way is better than another. We are all different and nobody should tell another woman how to live. Slaughter talked about how she used to feel smug about being able to have it all and looked down on other women who couldn't see to make it work. Then she said she was criticized by other women when she quit her state department job and moved back to her family in Princeton because she had supposedly let the side down by choosing her family first. I have to say that Slaughter's circumstances are so rare than even the most high-powered women couldn't relate. She took a job with Hillary Clinton in Washington and left her family behind in Princeton, commuting home on weekends. Of course she couldn't have it all. Duh!
During the height of the feminist movement, when Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan were duking it out over the importance of marriage and a family. Gloria made a now famous statement that "a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle." A lot of young women were completely traumatized by the whole notion that there must be something wrong with them if they wanted families and children and, God forbid, wanted some time to stay home when they had kids. I remember in the newsroom, a friend of mine came over to me, red faced, to tell me she was expecting. She was just beginning to show. "I know it's not politically correct," she said, "but my husband and I really wanted a baby." There was a sort of "macho" quality among some women with children to see who could work the longest hours, the wife or the husband, in an effort to intimidate the men into sharing equal time with the kids. And I wouldsay that not one female friend with a career didn't take the greater share of childcare and housekeeping.
Today, I'm happy to see now that so many younger women are confronting choices with a much more realistic view of life. Many are taking their partner's name in marriage. (In a million years I wouldn't have changed my name and still wouldn't today.) Many are taking time off from work to stay home with their children. Many are working flexible hours. Some are in high-powered jobs and have nannies and baby sitters. I look around the newsroom and see some of the smartest people are women. All are making different choices. I respect them for whatever choices they make. Some will go to the top; some will decide not to. Some will wait and do it later. Fine. For me, it helped going to a women's college. I went to Smith, as did Friedan and Steinem. All of the smartest people there were women, so it never occurred to me that women were anything but.
I have always believed that women can do anything, I have always believed that one day women will rule the world. When my son says "Mom, you should be president of the United States," he's only half joking. He could say that about most of the women I know.
Slaughter's solution is totally unrealistic, certainly any time soon. She says to close the leadership gap we should "elect a woman president and 50 women senators to ensure that women are equally represented in the ranks of corporate executives and judicial leaders. " Great idea. Only problem is it doesn't solve our immediate problem. It will take time.
Yes there should be more women in the upper ranks, especially since women are graduating from law, medical and graduate schools at increasing rates. These women are not "opting out" though, a really dirty phrase in feminist language. They are simply living their lives the way they want to live them. Gradually they are finding ways to be able to have the marriages, careers and families they want at the times they want them. The more women in power the more women will have the options to design their own lives.
Slaughter points out, rightly, that she is writing for a certain demographic. We are talking here about women who have the luxury of making choices. Most women in America don't. They have to work.
One of the worlds in which "opting out" not being allowed, is in the world of religion. There is hardly any religion which does not treat women as second-class citizens and, consequently, that has to have an effect on the thinking of both sexes. When religions accept us as equals it will make a huge difference in the way women view themselves and the world around them.
As Nora said at the end of her Wellesley speech, "Did I say it was hard? Yes, but let me say it again so that none of you can ever say the words, nobody said it was so hard. But it's also incredibly interesting. You are so lucky to have that life as an option."
So it's time to stop whining and moaning about how we can't have it all or boasting that we can. I once knew a psychologist whose mantra was, "You get what you want." The point is that we can have the lives we want. And we should glory in the fact that we are women.

Meet The Press Anchor Breaks Law To Embarrass NRA With High-Capacity Clip
By shoving the gun clip in the air with vigorous motion, he appeared to be playing to his audience, because NRA Chief Wayne LaPierre, had seen this type of clip before, and he was undeterred. Now the NBC show anchor was openly and brazenly in violation of a gun law, of laws, that he had hypocritically been referring to as needing more enforcement.

DMA STATEMENT: SENATE PASSES INTERNET ACCESS TAX MORATORIUMNEW YORK, April 29, 2004 The Direct Marketing Association (The DMA) today expressed its support to the U.S. Senate for passing the Internet Tax Non-Discrimination Act (S. 150). The bill will re-instate the moratorium on taxing Internet access through November 1, 2007. The DMA commended Senators John McCain (R-AZ), Ron Wyden (D-OR), George Allen (R-VA), Patrick Leahy (D-VT), John Sununu (R-NH), and Blanche Lincoln (D-AR), for their exceptional bipartisan leadership in helping to pass this measure, which will increase the availability and accessibility of Internet services to the American public. "We are pleased that the Senate has passed this important legislation," said Jerry Cerasale, senior vice president, government affairs, The DMA. "The U.S. has slid to sixth place in Internet-usage worldwide. This legislation will help bring America back to the vanguard of this burgeoning vehicle for commerce, communication, and education." "However, it remains our hope that the final resolution of this issue will be a permanent moratorium on Internet access taxes as passed by the House of Representatives last year," said Cerasale. About The DMA The DMA is the leading trade association for businesses interested in interactive and database marketing, with nearly 4,700 member companies from the United States and 53 other nations. Founded in 1917, its members include direct marketers from every business segment as well as the nonprofit and electronic marketing sectors. Included are catalogers, Internet retailers and service providers, financial services providers, book and magazine publishers, book and music clubs, retail stores, industrial manufacturers and a host of other vertical segments, including the service industries that support them. According to a DMA-commissioned economic-impact study, direct and interactive marketing sales in the United States are projected to have surpassed $1.7 trillion in 2003, including $133 billion in catalog sales and $41 billion in sales generated by the Internet. The DMA's Web site is www.the-dma.org, and its consumer Web site is www.shopthenet.org. ### |

Re: Cesorship on the rise.
The power of the government is used to intimidate our 'independent media' and a large advertising budgets of each ministry doesn't hurt either.
Our independent media are falling over themselves to show political correctness by self-censoring themselves and their readership and viewers. This to the point of self-neutering themselves and any critical opinions and comments.
Yingluck is not exempt from criticism or negative opinons. She is a public figure and it's part of the job description.

Looks like he is, as am I.....with my Phenom 9850BE I used to get daily scores of 1500-1800 with the occasional lucky 2000+. With my new setup i'm in the 2500-3000 range!!! Gogogogo!
Todays pie. F150 still rocks at 55k. Mind sits at 38k and KieX is at 30k. Ass pie belongs to Niko084 at 6,027. Soory Chaotic but Its late and you didn't post. Great job pie eaters. Crunch on and crunch hard.
Sorry mike...lol, I know how much this rivalry with F-150 is....lol. I was slow tonight, thx for taking up the slack!
No can do. Broke up with my gf of seven years more than 6 months ago. I'll be back on the market soon so I'll be taking you up on that offer eventually.
Hahaha twilyth...we have an open relationship so here she is: Waiting for the pie to update. Will edit when happens. EDIT:
Okay Cruncher stoners. I just did a bowl and found out that twilyth has taken mjmike's lemon meringue pie from him!!!!
I was hoping that bulldozer would let me upgrade the 2 1090t's but from the review at overclockers, I might actually be better off with a P2 980 in some cases. BD is all over the map in terms of performance. It's clearly optimized for multi-thread integer performance which means i probably won't get much of an edge in boinc - since it's all floating point. Oh well. Guess I'll have to wait for SB-E and hope Intel charges a reasonable price. edit: oh, the 20k is just due to network issues and backlogs of wu's - which is starting to become annoying.
I'm still going to take the bulldozer out to the farm but at that load I will drop the 955. Look soon for a great offer on chip board and ram.
I don't know what kind of Mobo you got...(tried googling it and had to lower my OC as a result ) But there will be bios updates to turn AM3 borads into AM3+ boards I'm sure. And congrats on your stars finding you.
Ok, seems like twilyth got drunk on lemon meringue and fell off the pie map today. Can't handle his Lemon meringue pie. Welcome back MjMike!

Resumes, Interviewing
UpCredentialsExperienceInternshipsResumes, Interviewing
Interview Network
Kaplan Careers
In the following, you'll learn the steps of searching for and making the most of your job, including:
Writing a resume The first item you'll need in a job search is a resume. This is a very important step, because if you don't have a worthy resume, you won't be able to get past the first stage. Here are some of the basic steps involved in this process and remember, it doesn't matter if your friends think your resume looks cool. If your resume doesn't convince a prospective employer to grant you an interview, it isn't doing its job.
Step 1 The first step in creating your resume is making a list of your skills and achievements. This list should include:
After you've compiled this list, you're half way there! It was probably easier than you thought too. Now comes the step where you turn this list of information into an impressive, professional document called a resume.
Step 2 Gather reference materials and sample resumes.
The writing style in resumes can sometimes be a little hard, so you'll need a thesaurus to find a variety of words to describe your job activities.
Taking the list you've already compiled, sit down with some books from the library or career center on how to write resumes. Try to use books that have clear examples in them, and are fairly current. Experts say that the ideal resume is easy to read, well-organized, professionally presented, concise, results-oriented, and tailored to the requirements of the job being applied for. Sloppiness, typos, poor grammar, and misspellings, and wordiness are the major resume killers.
If you can't take the time to carefully proof your own work, they assume you won't be any more conscientious on the job. To make sure that you don't fall prey to misspellings and poor grammar, always keep a dictionary and a good grammar guide handy. Show your resume to at least two other people for proofreading before you give it out, and don't depend on a computer's spell checking; you may have spelled the wrong word correctly.
Ask yourself the following question about each word on your resume: Does it add to the clarity of my statement or enhance my marketability? If the answer is "no," then the word should be history. Your resume is just a summary, you'll supply the in- depth details during your interview.
Step 3 Using your manuals, transfer your information from your worksheet into the resume format of your choice. Just remember that you're simply trying to show your skills and accomplishments through this document, so you want to find the most straightforward wording for your resume.
Don't go nuts with the thesaurus, but try to put some variety into your writing. Most resume guides will give you a feel for the way to do this.
Categories you should include on your resume include:
Some extra tips for creating a resume:
Common Resume Blunders While there is no one right resume, there are a lot of things that you can do that are definitely wrong. Interviewers and the people in Human Resource departments have all seen a million resumes. Over time, they develop some quick checks to help them screen resumes. Here are some of the big things that they always look for that you should be sure to avoid:
Writing a Cover Letter
Consider this. You walk into a bookstore, but instead of all the books divided being divided into genres, with the author's names on it, and a book summary, all you see are titles. How in the world would you be able to choose a book that interested you? Many employers come into a dilemma similar to this. They have piles and piles of resumes. How are they going to narrow the pile down into the select few. This is where the cover letter comes in.
A cover letter tells a prospective employer who you are, what your story is, what you've accomplished, and why they should talk to you. Cover Letters can be a great place to showcase your own personality and set yourself apart from the rest of the crowd. When done right, a cover letter can encourage a prospective employer to read on to your resume, and maybe even go on to the next step of picking up the phone to schedule an interview. While a cover letter alone can't get you a job, it can open doors for you. That's why it pays to learn the most effective strategies for writing cover letters. The cover letter should be a brief two to three paragraph cover for your resume. The basic structure should include:
The introduction - This is where you introduce yourself briefly and state your objective, or why you are writing. It should include a heading with your name and address (like the one at the top of your resume) and an opening paragraph stating how you found out about the job, and the position for which you'll be applying
The sales pitch - This is the most substantial part of the cover letter. It's the middle section, where you address your reader's needs and how you will fill them. Include a summary of why you feel you would be right for the position. Also, if you have any special skills or experiences you have that are related to the position, be sure to state them.
The reason - This part lets the reader know that you are truly interested in his or her organization and are not just randomly writing as part of some mass mailing. You answer the question of "why them?".
The request for further action - This section is often referred to as the closure, but that's a passive way of looking at it. Don't just think of it as the time to say "thank you and good-bye," but as the chance to request a next step, like an appointment or phone conversation. The request for action is where you further clarify your objective and clinch the deal. Always end with a final sentence thanking the person looking at your resume for their time
Some questions to answer before you start work on your cover letter
Skills to consider listing
Tips for Effective Letters The are thousands of ways to write a cover letter, and originality is always a positive, but consider these tips.
Interviewing Finally! You finished the resume, you sent it out in nice matching white envelopes, and now you've got an interview.
For some people, this is a breeze, but for most it's nerve racking. To start off here are a few tips to help you with your interview:
What to Bring to an Interview
The armed interviewers Watch out: many times interviewers are armed with tough questions. Be prepared!
Remember: Don't get too comfortable.
Major Do's and Don'ts
Remember! You are interviewing the company you hope to work for as much as they are interviewing you. You are trying to find the best place to work and learn, and they are trying to find the right employee. You should be examining your interviewers and the environment to see if you would feel comfortable working there.
How much should I know about my career field or industry as a whole?
How much research do I need to do on the company I am interviewing for? Since the reason for researching the company is to become familiar with it and the industry it is in, you should research it until you have enough information to hold a conversation about it with someone. You should know your short and long-term career goals and what in your background has contributed to these goals or prepared you for the position you're interviewing for. Lastly, you should be familiar with some current trends or issues related to the field or industry which have been prominent in the news lately.
Talk to anyone and everyone who knows about your field, position, organization and current events of interest. It's a good idea to take down all the information you learn through reading, talking, and researching on to a interviewing cheat sheet, that will help you organize your knowledge. You can use these sheets to prepare for interviews and even bring them with you for quick reference before or in between interviews.
What if the interview comes up suddenly and I have only a day to do my research?
First off, you should try to schedule the interview at least a couple of days ahead so that you have ample time to do your homework, but for some reason you cannot, you much do the best you can. A quick trip to the library, a scan of Internet resources, and a brief conversation with a few key people who know about the organization and/or industry can help you ace the interview.
Step 1 Feel positive about yourself even if you don't feel the interview went well. Each interview you go through is a learning experience, and it will get easier and easier the more practice you get. You won't click with every possible employer, and they many not click with you, but you can still get a good idea of what type of work is out there, and learn how to give a better interview.
Step 2 Send a polite follow up letter thanking your interviewer for the opportunity to speak with them. This can leave a very good impression with that company, and they may think of you in the future, or even refer you.
Making the most of your work experience
When you get a job you should try to get the most out of your experience. Every company has something to offer you, but you have to know how to find it. Here are some of the most important things you can take with you when you leave a job.
Skills Take any opportunity that you can get to learn a new skill, especially computer and communication skills.
Good skills to work on include:
Don't be afraid to work hard. If someone you work with knows something that you'd like to learn, ask them to show you, or at the very least, observe them.
Networking It is very important that you utilize your co-workers to help you solve problems or make your work better. Get to know the people you work with, because people almost always work better together than they do alone. Also, your co-workers might give you good leads on opportunities in your field, or might even refer you to someone else long after you've stopped working with them.
Confidence Learn that you can accomplish any project you choose to finish. You'll find that working makes you see just how much you can do, and how well you adapt.
Try to learn from every project or bit of work that you do, and figure out how you can do it more effectively the next time. Always take pride in your work.
Finally, always keep in mind that resumes and interviewing are both part of a process that is there to weed out who is disciplined and motivated and who is not in the work world. Your goal should be to learn this process so that you can find a job somewhere where you can feel comfortable, respected, important, and most of all, happy. No matter what the outlook is, or what people might say to you during your job search, always aim high.

Gilt Bar
Online Reservations
I went to gilt as it was recommended by a friend. I cannot say bough good things: Here is what we ate that I though was just fabulous: Toast with burrata and heirloom tomatoes Truffle pasta with pecorino Brownie with vanilla ice cream I also had the pork meatballs which I thought were great - but not fabulous. The ambience was fun. Lively. Our waitress was super nice. Checked in often to see if we wanted something - but not in a manner where she was trying to sell you more stuff. If was also nice that she told us that what we were planning to originally order was too much for two people. Love this place. Definitely go there.
The food and cocktails were all perfectly prepared. Gilt was great and gave us a private table per my OpenTable request.
This place makes me drool before, during and after I get there. Amazing.
Gilt Bar is a great spot for an intimate dinner. The space has the dimly lit elegance that is the trademark of a Sodikoff restaurant. Noise levels are conversation friendly. Foie gras pate was superb, and the server was sharp enough to offer extra slices of crisply toasted bread on which to spread it. Salmon is pleasantly spicy and blackened on top, but cooked to medium perfection within. Shrimp and grits were rich and well seasoned. The chicken dish was delicious (but might have benefitted from a less aggressive application of salt). A huge slab of carrot cake, very moist and rich and seasoned with Fall flavors, was shared by the whole table. All in all, a very enjoyable dinner.
My significant other and I love Gilt Bar. We adore the atmosphere, the crowd it draws and the excellent service. Its always consistent which is the main reason why it is one of the few Chicago restaurants that we continually go back to.
We have been coming to Gilt Bar since it first opened up. The ambiance, food and service has been outstanding every time we've dined at the restaurant. Some of our favorite dishes include the bone marrow, liver mousse, tuffle pasta and mussels. It is a great place for foodies and perfect for any occassions. We will keep coming back for amazing food and a fun night out!
This is a place you're going to want to order everything on the menu... and we did! There was steak, chicken, cauliflower, gnocchi, truffle pasta, kale salad, pie, brownies, carrot cake and all. Seriously, get it all!
Found the place using the Michelin Guide. Was looking for an affordable night out with a friend while visiting. The menu was diverse enough to appease her food allergies, while quenching my hunger for new plates. The food was affordable, approachable and delicious. Decent wine menu too. Service was on point.
Spicy margarita by Alex is fantastic. Will definitely be back
We tried Gilt on a recent trip to Chicago. Of all the restaurants we ate at, this was by far the best. The ambience was perfect for a gastropub and our waitress could not have been nicer. We went with her recommendations and she was spot on with respect to every dish from the starter (burrata on toast) to the dessert (a fabulous coconut mocha pie.) Truely a wonderful evening!
I miss there ham fondue, but other than that everything was awesome. The toast section is fantastic especially because the bread is excellent and in ample quantities. The Chocolate cake was a revelation
I heard good things about Gilt Bar...finally, Friday night I experienced it for myself! We had an early reservation (we were going to the theater). We were seated in a great booth towards the back of the restaurant . The service was great! The server made the dishes we were intersted in sound delicious! I had the salmon, it was moist and seasoned wonderfully! The rest of my party had the chicken and a pasta dish. Both were great! The brussel sprout salad and the roasted cauliflower were not to be missed. We were celebrating a special birthday and the lemon meringue pie was the best!! A wonderful evening!!
Had (business) dinner there on Wednesday night (7PM). Food was suprisingly good, had the brussel sprouts salad - unbelieveably good, and the salmon (very nice). Wine list is limited but good and reasonably priced. Very fun atmosphere / energy level. Only complaint was the decibel level of the music playing. Love music, love energy level, but when it is so loud (at 7PM) that you cannot hear the person across the table from you - its too loud. Too bad, because otherwise would have been a terrific experience.
We loved the Gilt Bar. Thought the place itself was really fun and lots of energy. We started off with on of the "toasts"....I can't remember the name, but it was a creamy mozzarella type of cheese with red sauce. It was out of this world. As was the Brussel Sprout salad. We ordered the Gunthorp chicken...and it looked great, but it was so salty neither one of us could eat it. We would definitely try Gilt again, though.
Had visitors from out of town. We had dinner there Saturday night (made a reservation weeks before). The food was great. We had the foie gras & liver mousse, shaved beets, roasted cauliflower, shrimp and grits, and fries, which were all wonderful. Also, had the orecchiette which was delicious - home made pasta with great consistency.
Ribeye on the menu was one of the best I've ever had and it was my husbands choice!
We wanted to talk with couple we had not seen for awhile and restaurant placed us in a quiet booth. Food was great on all counts. We had a nice couple of bottles of wine from the restaurant. I have already suggested Gilt Bar to others.
Wonderful food options. Impressive locale. One of the best places out there.
Grilled porkbelly was awesome. Orecchiette spicy pork pasta was fantastic.
Everything is great at Gilt Bar and you should not be afraid to try anything. Cocktails are well made and while a little esoteric for some, approachable and delicious. I love the vibe and decor. It is dark and hip without being pretentious. Great music and really informed professional servers.
This place was full and energetic, even for a relatively early reservation. I like the dim lighting and candles near our table, and the beautiful chandelier added to the charm. The food was amazing - from the roasted garlic toast to the truffle pasta and mussels. We will be back. Thank you for honoring our request for a cozy table for our romantic special occasion.
The ceaser salad was the best I ever had. Everyone at our tab located e loved everything they ordered. We made these reservations after picking threw many amazing restaurants. When we got got there we were told we could not go in from the bouncer. We has our 19 year old niece with us. We turned to leave and my husband was so upset he went in and talked with someone. We got in but as we went in the bouncer said I best not catch you with a drink. Rude! If it is 21 up please state that.
Love this place. Beautiful ambiance, delicious and well executed high-end comfort food. A consistent top quality experience on every visit :)
Great great atmosphere, dark and dreamy, the best food, creative and inspired, perfectly presented and prepared, listen to your server they will lead you down a path of scrumptious abundance!
We had a GREAT meal and time. The food is outstanding. We intended to sit at a table, but after a few cocktails made expertly by Anthony in the downstairs bar. Tell him the flavors you like and he will make something up that is delicious and unique. ....
Having been to Gilt Bar before and enjoying myself, I decided to take my friend to the Library downstairs for her birthday. The atmosphere was cozy, inviting, and quite charming, especially with the live jazz band. The cocktails were very tasty and the food (salmon Caesar salad, garlic aioli fries, truffle pasta, and Orecchiette) were great and the portions were perfect. Service was wonderful--I will most definitely keep coming back.
We liked it a lot. It is noisy. Ask for a table/booth in the back if you want to talk. The waiter tried hard, I think. But some things, like a refill of a glass of wine took a while. To the point where my wife had finished dinner when it showed up. He struck her empty plate when he brought the wine. Treat the place like the Goat, don't order too much. Order a side dish for 2 or 3 people. The roasted cauliflower was great! BTW- The steak tartar was great. Nice presentation and tasted wonderful.
What a modern cool looking space! The food was delicious, and the a bottle of the "table" red wine...a shiraz on the night we were there...was a great buy at $16. They were very mindful of my food allergy to nuts...even moreso than me!! Even though I told them I could eat almonds...they served them on the side of the delicious Brussels sprout salad. Very thoughtful. The menu was small, but well executed. The prices were reasonable, and a good time was had by all!
Had an amazing meal and the service was wonderful. Great ambiance and was perfect for entertaining a group from out of town. Cocktails were perfect! Our favorites were Bar Germains and Paloma's. We started with the Roasted Bone Marrow and Shaved Beet Salad. Both did not disappoint! Main course was the star - The Cool Fired Rib Eye was so tender and full of flavor it disappeared the minute it hit the table. Favorite sides were the Roasted Cauliflower and Shrimp & Grits. We finished off the meal with the Chocolate Cream pie which tasted amazingly homemade. Would definitely choose Gilt again when visiting Chicago.
This is our second time dining at GiltBar and once again the cocktails, food and service were tremendous. Gnocchi, Pork Belly, Orecchiette, Shrimp/Grits, Ribeye, Meatballs, Broccoli, Brussel Sprout Salad and Marrow Bones were all delicious. Our server was attentive, informative and friendly...Other staff kept our table clear of emptied plates and the bar staff was able to recommend delicious cocktails that matched our drink preferences. Finally, the front desk was welcoming and friendly!
Reserved in the library. Great date spot with excellent drinks and food. Had the burratta and truffle pasta which were spectacular. Ask for the spicy margarita...fantastic
Gilt Bar has the feel of a neighborhood, locally owned restaurant compared to some of the larger downtown restaurants. Very dark, good vibe. The restaurant was full when we arrived at nine and when we left at after eleven the restaurant was still full as the bar seemed to get busier as the night went on. Salmon was excellent. Pork bellies were tender and tasty. Ribeye had good flavor but was served as a huge, untrimmed slab of meat that wasn't visually appealing on the plate. Gilt Bar was a good value in the River North area and a restaurant worth trying.
Wonderful food selections, ample portions, creative preparation along with top notch service for a reasonable price will have this diner returning again and again.
Vibrant crowd and really very good food to be had - the menu is just varied enough that each diner can find at least 1 thing per course. The portions are meant to be shared and all appetizers and salads are ample. Dessert - the chocolate cream pie and lemon meringue are musts, but again must be shared as they are very rich and ample! Definitely a place to bring out of town guests to or just hang out with friends/family.
Great ambience. very cozy. Great food. definitely would go back. waiter was very efficient and friendly. Loved him. We happen to be dining there and Ed Westwick was 3 tables down from us.
My wife and I had a 3-hour dinner there on a Sunday night. Everything was superb. The ambiance was romantic -- nice leather seats, great wooden table, cool chandelier -- but it was unpretentious for an amazing restaurant. The cocktails were outstanding -- my wife is now an Old Fashioned drinker, and I had a Whiskey Sour for the ages. The toast (we ordered the bone marrow) was epic -- huge hearty chunks perfectly toasted. The beat salad was not the right order (it was a cold night), but it was nonetheless excellent. The ricotta gnocchi! With pork belly and slices of parm (I think). Best dish I've had in 5 years. Unbelievable texture. We also had the meatballs -- which were super -- but the gnocchi stole the show. Epic slab of carrot cake.
Had the roasted garlic toast, beet salad, and steak tartare toast. All were very good (I'm a sucker for roasted garlic), although I didn't get enough beet flavor from the beets. Small quibble - it was good, just not what I was expecting. It was also a little dark for me, but I guess that's good if you are making a romantic evening of it. Thought it was. Odd that they offered me reading material though - not sure I could have read much of anything.
Burratta and olives, pork meatballs and pork belly all very good - big portions. FF were only so-so.
They do everything very well and the whiskey sour was beyond memorable
What a great neighborhood find. Tapas-driven menu. Good range of choice, well-prepared, and reasonably priced. Wine selection somewhat limited. Good for informal or group setting!
Awesome service! A real partner in selecting the right combinations and quantities of food for our group.
The service, from the greeter to our waiter, was outstanding. We dined early, before the evening rush, however. The food was well seasoned, and the menu is available online so you have an idea of what to expect. Cocktails were flawless (as they should be at that price point). I'd describe the dishes we chose as high quality comfort--with a dash of creativity.
We went for dinner for my fiancee's birthday. When we asked for a quieter seat, they sat us in a great corner booth by the window - perfect. The server was excellent, we were having a discussion when she came up the first time and gave us space and told us to put up our menu when we were ready. This was great as we often are interrupted in the middle of conversations at restaurants and it was nice that they respected our time too. The food was just great. One look at the menu and there was nothing I did not want to try. Everything is larger and sharable, so order for the table. Lots of great comfort foods. Had marrow on toast - one of my faves- rib eye (awesome!) salmon ceasar, mashed and gnocchi, with apple cake for dessert. All fab!
Fantastic food. Love to taste and share multiple dishes. Trendy scene. Only downside was how extremely dark it was. Between the low lighting and the volume, it made it a little difficult to engage in conversation around the table.
Dark, warm & cozy! Great food & drinks. Excellent service!
I recently had an anniversary and could not settle on a place to go. I googled both "Most romantic" and "Best anniversary spots", this came up in both lists. It was spot on as we both loved it. Service, waiting time on food, check were great. Smart and friendly staff.
Love this restaurant. Great food great ambiance. This time service was also very good.
This was my first time here. I usually am not "wowed" by the food. This food was amazing!! We only go out about once a month and this was definitely worth it.
Food was very good especially the pasta with truffle oil and the chicken with mashed potatoes Air conditioning did not work and was extremely hot. That was the only pitfall
The food at Gilt Bar was absolutely fantastic (as are all of Sodikoff's places). Each dish was cooked perfectly and had tons of the flavor. The gnocchi with pork belly was my dish and was melt in your mouth good. While the food was fabulous, the service was even better. Our waiter was extremely attentive without being overbearing. He offered suggestions for his favorite dishes and the number of dishes for the group. Best of all, the bar was slightly backed up and we waited maybe a minute "too long" for our drinks, and the waiter apologized twice and then once the appetizer came out, he insisted comping it since we had to wait for our drinks. Really suggest this place for a fun nite out with friends or a date!

Kate -- can go to a Kate Spade FaceBook page actually buy the stock.
It's amazing you pull this off without any kind of stock market involvement and the SEC is said yes you can do this.
Absolutely and how does that work basically three years in the making we -- -- make it easy and affordable for tens of millions of everyday Americans to invest in their -- brands.
So you -- on year.
-- case I'm Kate Spade.
FaceBook page you've got a simple three click -- buy easily I paid ten dollars as little as ten dollars and I never pay a fee to buy or sell stock.
Well now only 18% of American households actually own stock directly as opposed to mutual funds.
And this could let stock purchasing come to a lot of people never open a brokerage account before how many brands do you hope will be taking part in this on FaceBook.
And the next couple years or were built to scale it's gonna be scaled.
Great statistic 18% for the people today invest in yet 56%.
