Man I just hate getting screwed over by WCB. This is the second time in ten yrs that an employee has filed a bogus claim for getting injured on the job. The first time the guy said his grinder caught and hit him in the ribs. We later found out that on the weekend before he had rolled his quad over on him self and the bars had squashed him in the chest. He went 5 yrs on compensation before they caught him working under the table and getting the comp also. Do you think that WCB would take it off of my record. Not a chance. We got a worse rating because of the claim and our premiums went up. We had even tried modified duty for the guy and that didn't work. The latest is a guy that worked for me for two weeks and then demanded more money. When I refused, he quit. 1 month later I get a letter saying that he injured his back while lifting something. I got all over it right away but it didn't help. They sent him for tests and a MRI and determined that he had age realted disc degenerative issues but non that were acute. They even noted that during the exams that his pain points moved around some and that was consitant with trying to fake pain. He was cleard for work but wouldn't because the pain bothered him he said. they have been paying him wages ever since. Apparantly there is nothing I can do except take in in the rear. we have an organization up here call the CFIB that is lobbying to make the system more fair but it will take along time.
Sorry about the rant but I had to vent a little.

Colo. Company Prospers From Doomsday Threats
By editor
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Bad times are good for a Colorado company, or rather the fear of bad times is good. Security Disaster Shelters sells a place to hide when the world goes under. Business soared after they appeared on a TV show called "Doomsday Preppers." They offer a gift for the worried person who has everything. The Summit Daily News says a shelter for a client near Chicago costs half a million dollars, including $25,000 lithium ion batteries. It's MORNING EDITION.

Patch testing with own cosmetics-a prospective study of testing and reporting of adverse effects to the Swedish Medical Products Agency
Contact Dermatitis, 05/02/2012
Tammela M et al. – For a substantial number of patients, their own cosmetics were suspected of causing adverse reactions and were therefore tested. During the study, the number of reports to the Medical Products Agency (MPA) tripled, and the relevant products were easier to identify.

So in my new garage build there will be a sectioned off area that is 24' deep, 11' high, 12' wide. This will be directly in front of one of the garage doors which will be used for fresh air supply. On the opposite side I will mount a fan to extract the overspray. At ~3100 cubic feet, I'm thinking if the fan were to exchange the "booth" 1-2 times per minute that should be ok.
Does this sound about right? I'm leaning towards the 16" or 20" Jenny fan that Len has here.
Thoughts welcomed.

As I'm writing this, my son is driving, and the traffic is getting heavier. We're nearing the outskirts of Los Angeles after a 2,000-mile family trip. The freeway is smooth, and the scenery is familiar, so I don't mind sitting in the passenger seat typing on my laptop.
We're in a 2013 Subaru Outback, which is, of course, just as at home on a freeway at 70 mph as it was earlier in the day on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere.
We might not have been in the real outback as Angus MacKenzie was last year when he drove a 2011 Subaru Outback across Australia. However, we came pretty close when we drove this Outback through the middle of Nevada.

This soft fruity red wine from the sunny vineyards of southern France is made using a blend of Carignan & Merlot grapes which are carefully vinified using all the benefits of modern winemaking techniques. The result is a wine with a ripe red fruit flavour and smooth finish, ideal fo drinking with a wide variety of food dishes or equally on its own.
About the Vin de Pays Classification
There are about 150 different Vin de Pays appellations in France for each area of origin. A country wine production zone is much larger than an AOC. Winemakers must use specific grape varieties suggested by a "Conseil Interprofessionnel" (joint committee of professionals). These wines can list on the label the grape varieties used while AOC wines cannot. All wines are analyzed, tasted and eventually approved. and accepted as "Vin de Pays".
These wines are increasingly popular, better quality than Vin de Table and perfect for daily-drinking wines.
Corte Vigna Merlot delle Venezie
Youthful, fruity, 'user-friendly' style with the typically soft, fleshy character of the Merlot grape.
Made from our best cuvées of this vintage, this Côtes du Rhône "Gentilhomme" has been aged in large oak barrels called "foudres" in our ancient cellars.
It has a ruby colour with purple hints. The ageing in barrels results in aromas of vanilla, cocoa, spices and leather. Best served at room temperature with provencal cuisine, red meat and cheeses.
About the Appellation Controllee Classification
These wines are of the highest quality. They are strictly ruled. Those rules cover methods of growing and producing, localization, grape-variety, minimum contents of alcohol, etc.
All these wines are analyzed and tasted. This very strict legislation guarantees an excellent quality of AOC wines.
The word "Origine" is often replaced by the name of the place of origin of the wine eg: "Appellation Bordeaux Controlée".

Even with CPUs, Sonic are damn irritating.
Does anyone know if I get the challenges by beating Boss Battles in co-op?
Moderator: Moderators
You can't play co-op in Boss Battles. It's a strictly single-player game. = Ultimate Warrior
= Ultimate Warrior Therefore, = Now you know why they call it Metroid. --- This is the song, written for the chase scene! This is the song, Samus and James! He tri-ied to kill me with a forklift! (Ole!) |
Well, I don't play Co-op, so I wouldn't know. = Ultimate Warrior
= Ultimate Warrior Therefore, = Now you know why they call it Metroid. --- This is the song, written for the chase scene! This is the song, Samus and James! He tri-ied to kill me with a forklift! (Ole!) |
So why did you answer? You should leave things you don't know to people who know it. |
Well, if you play against humans, you can see that Ike and Sonic are some of the cheapest characters in the game. Also, Ice Climbers tear Ike to shreds. I can't believe how good of a counter they are. I mean, they murder him 8 times out of 10 (well, for me against a human Ike.) That extra fire-power must do something.
Needless to say, I have samus as a secondary, but my two real mains, are surprisingly Luigi and ROB.
Reasons for liking Luigi: Relatively unchanged from melee, only one I know changed, was his Up B with landing head first, As well as a nice bit with the final smash I do, like humility killing. Needless to say, Negative zone + luigi's down taunt usually = KO, but it depends on what ailments the victim suffers. if it is the "shield broken" ailment, then consider KO imminent. Reasons for liking R.O.B.: Some nice air game, with a nice Down air spike, which keeps the utility airborne a bit longer, and can be a lifesaver from a red shell. The gyro is quite a funny thing to use as a weapon, but that I like. FS isn't the best, but I just like to see my adversary getting zapped on the edge, if they get caught in there, and see a beam fry the foe. all in all, Rob seems to fit my gamestyle well. (Just try ROB in light gravity fights, and you won't need to use Up B too much to recover, but rather Down air. ) If anything, the biggest disappointment for me, was king dedede, considering the extreme slowness, was not exactly worth the heavy weight, and heavy hit power... All in all, dedede spent his build too much on knockback and weight. Rob had some decent speed attacks to be honest, and throws were nice for the robot. (nothing like seeing a victim used like a jackhammer) Life would be hard for a side hopper that has to hop on a WALL. (can't go through doors on the other wall.)
Too bad Archanus doesn't have a GB equivalent for an avvy. ROBOTNIK ROBOTNIK RAH RAH RAH! |

Post subject: Good setting/ general advice for larger groups?
Hi fellow savages!
I'm going to be running a three session long foray into an as yet undecided Savage setting. Usually my game group is four or sometimes five players. But for this particular run there are seven that want to play. Four of the seven are veterans with Savage Words, and two more have a couple Savage sessions under their belt, so I'm not worried about ramping everybody up. I've run a very successful and longstanding eight player campaign in years past, and have learned a few tricks for keeping large groups engaged. But that was not with Savage Worlds, where the smaller skillbase and pool of novice edges may result in more homogenous starting characters.
And therein lies the rub. My concern is that I will end up with a player or two that feels like a fifth wheel - completely redundant and/or useless. It seems like in some settings this might be more difficult than in others. And I was thinking maybe starting off at Seasoned or higher will give a wider range of possible characters.
Does anyone have particular success with a certain setting with larger groups? Or general advice with running Savage Worlds in larger groups?
We have to believe in free will. We have no choice.

I would suggest going with Wellstone City. It's a modern setting that doesn't take much to get into and it's familiar territory for people. Plus, I've run it in larger groups and it's pretty easy to keep the action going and everyone in the group engaged.
But, if Modern isn't your genre of choice, I'd start looking at some of the fantasy settings, and I'm not going to be much help on those.

What can I offer about GMing for large groups? Make certain to give each character some spotlight time, an opportunity to shine. Therefore, it's essential to have a firm handle on each character (cheat sheets help on this), so you can make certain to develop situations tailor made for different folks. This gets easier over time, but if you're running a three session arc, you better hit the ground running. I wouldn't sweat it too much. If you've run large groups in other systems, most of those skills are transferable.
Ranking up characters is not necessarily going to bake in variety unless you encourage everyone to decide on a niche during chargen to avoid a lot of stepping on toes. If you have it as a collaborative and not a competitive process, you'll have complementary builds rather than multiple folks taking the same type of character.
Now, I'll present two of our settings which work well with large groups:
has a lot of diversity with the various permutations of racial edges and character types present. It's very easy to build radically different characters from the jump. (Plus you can bring in characters from any other setting with great ease. Ta-da! More variety!)
Iron Dynasty
, with its robust permutations, offers a lot of choice when it comes to character builds as well. (As I've mentioned elsewhere, I can think of three different ways to create unique ninja right off the top of my head.) In both cases, it was an overarching goal to provide plenty of options for character design so each player could carve his individual niche (as I've seen this problem emerge when you have a large number of players at the table).
I'll add, we have a goodly number of support products for each line.
Pinnacle products I'd highly recommend would include
Weird War Two.
The high plains and the fields of battle can easily accommodate larger groups. Another great one, oft overlooked, is
Tour of Darkness
, one of my personal faves.
On the other hand, I would discourage such settings as
Realms of Cthulhu
. Horror requires intimacy and it's hard to do that well with such a large group. It can be pulled off, but would not be something I'd personally want to do with great regularity.

I would suggest either 50 Fathoms or Pirates of the Spanish Main. All the PCs would be members of a ship's crew, either under the command of an NPC captain or one of the PCs could fill that roll. I'd also second Tour of Darkness, or even Weird War II, but I'd definitely recommend that one of the PCs take a command role, either NCO or Officer. Military games aren't as much fun when you don't have any say in your missions, IME.
Good luck!

As far as giving everyone their moment and keeping the group a little diverse, you may want to pay at least as much attention to their Hindrances as their skills.
Even if one player really has a broad but somewhat redundant skill set, he can usually be helpful with cooperative rolls, and his Hindrances may well set the game on fire...possibly literally if he has Delusions (Major: Everything must burn)!

I cannot claim a lot of experience running large SW groups - my (large) group only transitioned two sessions ago. What I would say is that if you are able to run a large table in another system, you will find running the same table is much, much faster in SW, particularly as you have experienced players, so through lots of material at them.
My philosophy is that character differentiation grows over time and particularly under pressure. I recommend starting them at a flat run with something challenging that forces them to use a range of skills under pressure. They should be asking: how to do we escape/survive, why is this happening, where are we?
One possibility is a steadily more challenging/damaging environment combined with an immediate threat: zombie survival when your tour bus breaks down far from town in sub-zero temperatures, sinkiing ship and something weird moving in the rising water, leaky spaceship under heavy fire, running through the forest without gear and hostile soldiers at your heels...etc.

Indeed! I ran a campaign with two two-fisted, level-headed gunslingers. They were nearly identical for Edges and Traits. But those Hindrance differences
One of them had Quirk (always lies) and Big Mouth - a hilarious combination, worthy of many bennies. Also Curious and Loyal.
The other had Wanted, Vengeful, and Habit (Major - pornography). The first two led to adventure plots, but that last caused an endless variety of stories, complications, and unique characterization.
Hindrances can make even the most similar characters wildly different.

I've run Evernight for a group of 8 and am currently running Rippers, which at it's peak was also a group of 8.
I'll back up what's been said before - it doesn't matter whether the characters have 'niche protection' - as long as they all get their 'screen time'.
Somtimes that might mean 'splitting the party' - In Evernight I had two characters that had started out with essentially the same job - Tank. They went about it in two different ways (one wore plate mail, the other went Beserk) but they were both intended to soak up blows on the front line. By the end of the campaign they'd spread out their roles a little, which made life easier, but at the start I would often give the group reasons to be in two different places at once - and so within the 'sub-party' each member had their own niche.
Not sure if that's the best way for everyone to to it, but it worked for us.

Attendance & Explanations:
When I've run with large groups, a big factor I had to contend with was that we'd inevitably have someone absent at any given session. Therefore, I had to figure out the best way to handle and/or explain those absences.
The easiest time I had of it was when I was running a "Savage Ghostbusters" campaign. Every session was its own self-contained mission (even though there was continuity across adventures), and most of the PCs were college students who were "busting ghosts" for additional income - so it didn't seem a stretch at all that we'd have quite a bit of variance in team makeup from mission to mission.
I've pondered that if I were to run a campaign based on Stargate, or perhaps a "Star Trek" style setup where the PCs get to visit the Planet of the Week with a varied "away team," I could accomplish much the same thing. (And if a threat arose that affected the entire ship ... well, so-and-so the absent hero is somewhere else on the ship, bravely fighting the alien menace off-camera.)
Back into more specific Savage Worlds settings, as has already been previously noted, Pirates RPG could work for that. You could have the PCs all be members of a ship's crew, and if a big ship battle is going on and a player is absent, we can still have someone roll the dice for that absent player's critical ship skill (e.g., ship's navigator, cannon operator). If the ship gets sunk while that player was away, well, we'll just hand-wave that nobody knows what happened to him, and he can conveniently pop up again the next time the player actually attends a game.
For some campaigns, the occasional absence has to be hand-waved - if there's no good reason for the PC to be absent, I've experimented with letting that PC be controlled by another player, dropping the PC to NPC status, or just vaguely hand-waving why the PC isn't quite as active this time around, but it just becomes more of an issue when it's happening each and every given session (which tends to happen when I have larger groups).
Finding Niches for Everyone in Large Groups:
Although Savage Worlds isn't class-based, so there's the potential of everyone investing heavily in the same generally-useful skills, I find in practice that my players tend to diversify greatly. For one thing, there are far more Edges than anyone can hope to grab at Novice level. For another, even in the realm of skills, there are still "Knowledge Skills" that, if chosen well, can open up new possibilities.
For instance, in a modern setting such as
War of the Dead
Zombie Run,
out of the basic skill sets, you could have the group's "spokesperson" (Charisma, Persuasion, Streetwise, Notice), the "scout" (Thief Edge and relevant skills - Climbing and Stealth coming in particularly handy), the "woodsman" (Survival can be especially valuable since you can't always rely on scavenging), the "McGyver" (Repair, McGyver Edge, etc.), the "leader of Extras" (Command Edge, Knowledge {Battle}, and assorted combat skills to back it up), the "doc" (Healing skill, plus Healer if plus your usual assortment of people specializing in various styles of combat.
But then, throw in relevant Knowledge Skills, and there are a number of new niches that could be handy in a modern/post-apocalyptic setting. Knowledge (Demolitions) opens up lots of destructive possibilities, if the heroes stumble across a weapons cache. Knowledge (Chemistry) could be handy to justify making Molotov cocktails and such out of chemicals from the janitor's closet. Knowledge (Medicine) would justify being front and center in any attempt to fight the infection. Knowledge (Computers), (Electronics), or (Security Systems) might seem a bit limited, given the likely collapse of the power grid, but a creative player could still find something to do with them.
Plus, it also depends upon how the GM handles the area of Common Knowledge, and how generous he is when it comes to allowing players to use "professional skills" when they might come into play. E.g., I'm not going to require that a PC who is a "heavy metal rocker" invest in "Knowledge: Guitar" in order to play well, on the rare occasion it's relevant. I'd call it Common Knowledge (Spirit roll) or just treat it as a trapping of a Persuasion check. From personal experience, though, the trappings can make for a pretty memorable character, even if he doesn't technically have any really unique skills written down on his sheet that nobody else could tackle.
After all, it's not just WHAT your character can do, but HOW your character does it that can make a hero memorable.
(Note: Another nice thing about either
Zombie Run
War of the Dead
for handling large groups is that player absence can be more readily handled when the PCs are traveling with a group of survivors, often in the company of large numbers of Extras. That makes it a little easier for a PC to fall into the background or step into the fore as needed, depending upon a player's attendance, without the GM having to struggle over big hand-wavy excuses.)
Encourage Backstories:
As others have touched on, a great way to make sure everyone is involved and active is to be familiar with their character sheets, to find excuses to work in someone's oft-ignored Hindrance, or that rarely-used skill or Edge, or simply to dive into someone's character backstory and have some element from it make a cameo appearance (if nothing else, telling the players, "Yes, I actually read your backstory write-ups!").
With an especially large group, however, I also want to make sure that the players have tools at their disposal so they can take the initiative in varied ways, without having to wait for the GM to toss in a car chase or a bomb disposal or a computer virus or whatever it is that can ONLY be dealt with via one PC's specialist skill.
I've found that this seems to work better if I get my players to put some thought into their backstories, perhaps even giving them a bit of a "writing assignment" to print off a short summary of where the PC came from ... or just send me an email giving me the highlights. Personal goals, names of potential plot-hook NPCs, places of interest ... I can get a lot from a back-story if the player goes to the trouble, but more importantly, I think it helps the player to get a better feel for what his character might be doing and what his personal motivations might be, other than just rolling the dice when a particular skill check comes up.
Two characters could well have the exact same starting stats, but with a different backstory, they can turn out to be two very different characters, fulfilling different roles.
Oh yes, and I'll also throw in an obligatory shameless plug for
Wonderland No More
which, in my humble opinion, has a pretty wide range of character archetypes and weird Wonderlandish races, to the point where it would be impossible to exhaust them all with one PC group.

I was running 50 Fathoms for a painfully large group for a while. It worked pretty well. We ruled that if a player wasn't present, his character was an extra that couldn't die. Since each Savage Tale could be squeezed into one gaming session, it basically meant some folks happened to go ashore to go adventuring, everyone else stayed on the ship. If they fought at sea, their characters could fight, but weren't as awesome as usual.
Necessary Evil might work well, too.

As far as attendance and explanations go, my general gaming group has always run with the same guidelines: just ignore it.
If someone's missing, they're just missing. Don't try to explain it, don't try to cover it up, don't highlight...just move on.
If you think of a campaign as a serial story, just pretend someone had a continuity error and totally forgot a character for a given installment. It actually happened all the time, both in print and movie house serials.
But, that's what we do. I know there are probably at least three people out there that I just sent to the hospital with panic attacks, so it's not necessarily for everyone.

Awesome, thanks for the input and ideas everyone! Lots of good nuggets here, and a couple settings I will have to add to my collection.
One thing I like to scale up with the size of the group is the game lethality, because going into a combat aware that a PC or three died in the last session really buys a lot of investment into game for everyone in my group. So I wouldn't use a setting/genre with heroic you-can't-die-easily rules for this particular upcoming mini-campaign.

I recommend starting them at a flat run with something challenging that forces them to use a range of skills under pressure. They should be asking: how to do we escape/survive, why is this happening, where are we?
Yes! You just gave me a great idea!

Glad to help, run them ragged
Jordan's points about variable attendance is a very good one. Actually the logistics of choosing a mutually acceptable date/time can be very time-consuming so I automated it with a
group date-choosing tool
. It is a Dutch tool but has an English interface. It collects availability info from players, helps you choose a date and then mails all the participants; it took a load off my mind.
You will have players that are "core", committed to the game, and players that are along for the ride. I made a table rule: I will run if three of my four "core" players are present, the ones most committed to the game.

Very true. As Gospog remarked in the thread covering his NE campaign, the superhero/villain genre is well-suited for MIA player characters. Another one is Rippers, as the characters for any absent players could be said to have been sent off to investigate an incident which turns out to have a completely mundane explanation.

I like the idea of a military themed adventure since it is limited scope. For a large group, the old Party Caller is a good idea. That person can also be the Sgt of the group. Some WWII, Tour of Darkness, or even Necropolis would work nicely (or play troops in Deadlands or an actual posse).

As a staff member at APU's Office of University Relations, I work alongside an energetic and creative group of marketing, Web, design, PR, and editorial staff to promote and brand the university. Within such a climate, it's not uncommon for brainstorming sessions to organically crop up at any given time.
Recently, I witnessed a lively discussion between two fellow coworkers—one an editor, the other a designer—about a print piece they're working on for one of our clients. It was quite the dance of strong opinions, preference clarification, and very direct communication. For some, this might have proved a recipe for disaster, but for these two, there was a groundedness to the conversation, held together by mutual respect and dedication to reaching a great outcome.
I was just a passer-by when I got pulled into their conversation. "What do you think of this?" they asked. Never one to shy away from opinion-giving whether from my area of expertise in Web or otherwise, I threw in my two-cents worth and then some. Then I realized as the discussion went on, my input wasn't really necessary, so I sat back and more quietly observed their dynamic.
"What if we put the checklist on the front instead of the back and move this block of copy?" said the designer. "It would give the page more of a cover-like feel and make it not feel so heavy." Vigorously shaking her head "no," the editor pointed out, "Then the reader won't have sufficient context, and we may risk wrongly communicating that it's a TOC [table of contents]." Another idea struck down. They each shot out a few more variations on that theme, but they soon found themselves at a bit of a stand still as those new ideas led to the same stalemate. Out of curiousity, I stuck around to see what would happen next.
Rather than showing fists of fury or a dogmatic need to prove one's point simply to win, I noticed this discussion was clearly energized by sound expertise and a solid conviction that there was an answer that wouldn't just end in half-hearted compromise. In a fashion true to our office culture at University Relations, these colleague-friends were committed to problem-solving by putting their raw ideas on the table, listening and respecting one another's viewpoint, risking by being direct in their feedback, and finding a solution to the challenge they wanted to surmount together.
As I continued to watch this creative process unfold, I clearly saw that this designer and editor team weren't so stuck on their own opinions that they weren't willing to listen to one another. Instead, these colleagues held their ground per their expertise while trying to find a new path that addressed both of their concerns. They were insistent, "There's got to be a better solution we haven't thought of yet that will make this piece better!"
Shortly after that passionate declaration, a fourth teammate came back into the office. "Hey!" they exclaimed motioning to the colorful marketing piece on the screen. "What do you think of this?" Ah… familiar words. =)
So I left my colleagues to it but not before asking them to update me on the solution they'd reach. I was confident that as they kept looking for solutions, fully committed to the process, the outcome, and each other, they would surely find the answer they desired… together.
An Update:
Later that evening, my designer-colleague popped into my office to tell me that while they hadn't reached a conclusion yet, they agreed to shelve the conversation and revisit it in the morning. "It's good though," she reassured me as she smiled wide, "because we're going to make it [this piece] even better!" And with that, she turned with a flourish and continued down the hall.
I smiled to myself as I reflected on the exchange. They'll make it better… indeed.

Scholarship Fund Established A scholarship fund to send a needy child to college has been initiated at Brant . Lake Camp in memory of 18 year old Andrew W. Dreyer of Lynbrook, who lost his lif€ there recently, while attempting to extinguish a fire on a power line that had dropped during the. rain storm. According to a fellow counselor, the youth was electrocuted when a live wire jumped up and hit him. Dreyer, who resided at 102 Union Place, was an honor graduate of Lyn-brook High School in June and a Regents Scholarship recipient. He was to have left shortly to begin his fresh-man year as a pre-law stu-dent at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. "Andrew was a fine fellow and very well liHed," noted Df. John Beyrer, high school principal and former chairman of the Guidance Department. "He pl^ed varsity b a s k e t b a l OV and varsity baseball and JV football. He was also very active in the Class Nite Sports program and on the school newspaper. Last spnng, he received the jour-nalism award from News-day." The youngster, like his father, Norman, had spent every summer at the camp, either as a camper or a coun-selor. His dad is now camp attorney and his mother, Jacqueline, the camp book-keeper. "In fact," a relative pointed out, "Brant Lake was a 47 year old tradition with the family." B e s i d e s his p a r e n t s, Dreyer is survived by two sisters, Dianne of Lynbrook and Janine Nichols, who was in Paris at the time of the accident. Funeral servi-ces were held on the camp ball field with all the campers and personnel in attendance and on August' 11 at the Boulevard Park West in Hewlett. Rabbi Daniel Wolk of Armohk, New York, a longtime fam-ily friend, conducted both services. The Dreyers are members of Temple Emanu- E1 of Lynbrook. "All the kids paid hom-age," said another close friend of the family, Evelyn Sippel of Hewlett. "After the Andrww W. Orcysr funeral, which ^as very moving, a line of yburrgTtieh dressed in shirts and ties, said their last goodbyes to their comrade. He was a r e s p o n s i b l e p e r s o n , " she added, "and very con<!erned about other kids. He even found time to coach for little league. Everyone loved Andy, He was truly a boy for all ages."

The Board announced that the tax rate for the 1983-84 term will be $25.97 per hundred of assessed valuation, as opposed to the previously announced rate of $26.24 per hundred. This means that the increase of tax rate over last year will be $1.61 per hundred. Many concerned citizens were present at the meeting concerning the Board's deci-sion to begin all-day kinder-garten classes next term. This policy was defended by the members of the Board as making it easier for children to adjust to school. The next meeting of the East Rockaway School Board is scheduled for Sep-tember 19.

Yay! Finally got one!
DAMN IT. Missed due to not being logged into my account...
How kind of the system to request my security code. Hit the golden button with still half the Burgandy Olfactory Center to go and then once it sells out get sent back to say I missed a field.
Nailed it. I think this is my first non-lottery Burrito of Chorizo.
In for Bladder of Condiments #7 on my birthday! Time to update my sig again. Big thanks to the Woot Gods for letting me through!
First ever bandolier of carrots! Been trying for 5 years.
Woohoo - One for me too! One lovely gift wrapped Box of Christmas!
Made it to the stupidly large button, but then foiled by a sellout. Ah well, maybe next time. I just hope my coupon code didn't get 'used up' in the process.
Yay! First one ever!
Woohoo I am chosen for a Bag of Coal Going to be a good holiday season!
FINALLY! Got my first Bag of Coal in 2 years...3rd overall! Thanks new laptop!
In for 1
Woot! Got one! It's been awhile...
Aaaah!!!.... I finally got through to the confirmation page. My order is complete and I got my email. WOOT!!
Eff yea, got another one! Second woot off in a row. First Burgandy Olfactory Center was disappointing but it was fun regardless. Hoping for something halfway decent this time.
Yea, it's my Bday today and a Burgandy Olfactory Center is a on the way.
WOOHOOO Merry Christmas to me!!! Thank You WOOT

same.. whats even worse is i only have 1.. and ive been a member since 04...
How do I know if I got one?
Server errors again. Since 06 I've only been able to get one Bag of Coal and that was only in the last woot off. Eh, I bet it was just a bunch of crap anyway. That, or sour grapes.
GOT IT! Some errors at first, but persistence and patience pays off again! Thanks woot!
I didn't get it. I'm gonna go cry now.
Its Crap Its Crap Its Crap...Its in my purchases for today!!!! my record is now 3-35....YES!
looked away for a sec, when it came up, couldn't even get the logged in. maybe next time.
1st Buxom Ol Cougar for me :-)
Been here too long not to get a Burgandy Olfactory Center yet.... still haven't. Even with wootalyzer.
It's been 3 years since my first, but finally got my 2nd Bag of Coal!! Merry Xmas to me!
My T1 line isn't helping with Burgandy Olfactory Center..
WELL CRAP! (Or NOT CRAP, I guess I should say....)
If I didn't get tied up on the confirmation page, I was in... Better luck next time. No use in whining...
Went to the confirmation page, which was blank. No email. Sad panda.
Never got to the confirmation page, but my account shows that I got one! WOOOHOOO!
Adding to 3rd year not been able to get the bag-o-craps. And to think i've been religiously refreshing page to finally jizz my pants to see the bag-o-crap but not able to get. SA day for me
Robbed again. even got to click my gold box, and robbed again. Why Woot, why? I love you so, yet still no Burgandy Olfactory Center..!
Got my bag, no white screens, but it was sllloowwww... Got the order email before the page even loaded. now to wait a week to see what cappy goodness Santa brought me..
Load...load...load... The degree of frustration that I feel for having seen the button several times before the interwebs just choked and died will never cease to haunt me.
Yeah! First Bag of Coal ever! It was so worth it being too sick to go to work today...bless you, Common Cold virus. ;)
Sigh. Even made it to the confirmation screen this time. Thought I had a birthday bag!! But not to be.
Got it! First time!

Hi everyone,
I'm facing an (ugly and hideous) exception which is spread all over the web and forums and people are talking about it but after two days working on it, I proudly say that "I Give Up"!
I'm using "STS Version: 2.8.1.RELEASE" to run a simple spring web MVC, I'm sure there's no flaw or any bug in the source code, because I used "Netbeans" to run the same source code on my Apache Tomcat 6 and Apache Tomcat 7.0.2 and it worked properly.Code:SEVERE: Error configuring application listener of class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1680) at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1526) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.listenerStart(StandardContext.java:4149) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:4705) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1057) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.start(StandardHost.java:840) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1057) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.start(StandardEngine.java:463) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.start(StandardService.java:525) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.start(StandardServer.java:754) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:595) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.start(Bootstrap.java:289) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:414)
As I tried to migrate from "Netbeans" to "STS" which is built upon the vanilla eclipse, I'm on the edge of the disappointment that "a day comes where people can happily run their hellowords in eclipse and above that STS".
I've googled this issue and have visited tons of forums and pages either they are suggesting include some old nasty jar files ( aka "spring.jar") or change some maven configuration. neither of both works for me. because:
a)I'm not maven fan and I do not use it.
b)I'm using the Spring release 3.1.0 RC1 and the jar files they recommend to include in the build path, is really old
I believe someone has solved this issue with tomcat before but unfortunately I could not find a well documented solution or an easy to follow HOW-TO.
further information that may help :
- I once imported "exactly" same jar files included by "Netbeans" when I was creating the project inside "Netbeans" IDE, in my build path inside "STS" and got the same exception, again with Vfabric server and Apache Tomcat 6.0 (I believe there are not much difference between these two and I may be wrong)
- at other times I just include only the Spring 3.1.0 RC1 jar files and Apache Commong Logging 1.1.1 jar files and compiled and run the project against Apache Tomcat 6, again same issue.
the question is what it takes to get rid of this exception inside STS and clipse for god sake?
what is it that makes it work in Netbeans nicely with Apache Tomcat 6 and 7.0.2?!
I'm really looking forward for replies to this thread from the respectful spring community.
regards ramtin.

Before leaving Israel, Obama paid tribute to the father of modern Zionism in a symbolic visit to Theodor Herzl's grave.
Joined by Peres, Netanyahu and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, Obama also visited the grave of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who was assassinated in 1995.
Both stops were intended to bolster Obama's standing with Israelis by demonstrating his understanding of the history of the Jewish state.
Obama placed a stone at each grave from the grounds of the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial in Washington in a gesture to link the African-American struggle for freedom with the struggle by the Israeli people for a homeland.
The president also visited the Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem, where he turned up the "eternal flame" of remembrance of the millions of Jewish victims of Nazi death camps in World War II.
Obama called for the world to follow the example of nations that intervened in Nazi genocide.
"Here, alongside man's capacity for evil, we are also reminded of man's capacity for good," he said. "The rescuers, the righteous among nations, who refused to be bystanders, and in their noble acts of courage, we see how this place, this accounting of horror, is in the end a source of hope."
In another cultural stop Friday, Obama also visited the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, which is on the West Bank, with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
After putting himself in the middle of the historic tensions between Israelis and Palestinians this week, Obama then headed to Jordan, a military and intelligence partner that has been facing trying times.

Tea Party Senators Leveraging Debt Ceiling for a Balanced Budget Amendment
April 26, 2011 - by Donny ShawThe upcoming debt ceiling increase is pretty much the ultimate must-pass bill. If Congress doesn't pass it, it's not just that some programs would be put on hold or that some federal workers would be furloughed; the entire economy would collapse much more deeply than in 2008, and we would have no chance of recovery since our international credit worthiness, our principle financial asset, would be permanently ruined. Of course, every member of Congress knows that the debt ceiling increase has to be passed. That's why they're hoping to use it as a means to pass other legislation that they know cannot stand on its own.
Fox News reports that Senate Republicans are planning to filibuster the debt ceiling increase unless the Senate passes a constitutional balanced budget amendment:
Guided by their belief that the nation is headed for a long-term fiscal calamity, Republicans are promising a fight — one that may make the battle earlier this spring over government funding resolutions look small in comparison.
Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., vows to "tie the Senate in knots" unless it passes a balanced budget amendment. And while he and Senate Republicans may lack the votes for passage, they wield some leverage — Democrats need some Republican support to raise the debt ceiling.
All 47 Senate Republicans have signed a pledge to vote for it, and there are indications that as many as nine or 10 Senate Democrats may be leaning towards yes votes, too.
The last time a balanced budget amendment was introduced in the Senate, in 1997, it failed by just one vote.
Proponents believe the public pressure for such an amendment has grown enormously since those years.
The Republicans' balanced budget amendment is S.J.Res.10.
Besides requiring budgets to spend no more than they bring in in revenues, it would cap federal spending at 18% of GDP, which you can see in the graph at right is a level not seen since the early 1930s. It would also make it more difficult to balance the budget by raising taxes or closing tax loopholes by requiring a 2/3rds majority vote in both chambers for "any bill that imposes a new tax or increases the statutory rate of any tax."
As difficult as it is to pass a constitutional amendment (both chambers must pass it with 2/3rds majority), the Republicans have the advantage here. It only takes two or three senators working together to filibuster a bill to death. The balanced budget amendment has the support of 47 Republicans, so DeMint can likely get help from othe Tea Party members, like Sen. Rand Paul [R, KY] and Sen. Mike Lee [R, UT], or Sen. Orrin Hatch [R, UT], the amendment's chief sponsor. And note that DeMint doesn't just want a vote on the amendment; he is threatening a filibuster unless the amendment actually passes.
QUICK UPDATE: Sen. Lee has already pledged to filibuster the debt ceiling vote unless a balanced budget amendment passes. Game on.
Sens. DeMint and Paul are pictured above, pledging their allegiace to the flag, at a Tea Party Caucus meeting.

I did say that, however I will note that most Canadians can get to an American hospital in less then a few hours drive so its not so much in the same category.
The French system is really neat, it has the standard features of a universal system, that is their is taxes provide all French citizens with a basic minimum policy which they can obtain via their public option, however they can opt out and choose a private plan.
And the big difference from most other systems is their (not sure what they call it mind you) adverse risk insurance. Now this isn't an insurance for people its an insurance for the insurance companies. They all pay into it(including the public option) and it pays out to equalize the average cost of each patient for services covered under the basic minimum.
Their is no incentive to kick people out because their ill, in fact the incentive is shifted to maximizing the customer base and customer retention.

Our approach to business has always been to build deep lasting relationships with our clients based on three core principals:
That is why clients stay with us, in some cases since our beginning.
Our specialist teams, which advise organisations whose property portfolios stretch from the Shetlands to the Channel, focus on helping their clients
Underpinning the advice we give is a sustained programme of market research and analysis designed to provide our clients with valuable insights which often influence their own strategic planning process and enhance our understanding of the sectors we focus on. For many, our research documents have become an industry benchmark which provides market specific data, as well as analysis of key indices – ranging from house prices to market movements.
Above all, clients appoint us and trust us because of the depth of our knowledge, the quality of the advice we give them and our focus on helping them to optimise their property strategies.
