Buy them and you will never look back. I am slowly converting over my entire stash to only these. I talk about my underwear with people way too much now...
Great Fit

The best thing about Give-N-Go underwear is the moisture wicking nylon that they use. It really does help keep the ?southern? region nice and dry during a hard workout and nice and warm during the winter months. You may not be going on a big adventure in the wilderness but you still want to wear these every day.
great for trail running
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: True to size
doesnt cause any irritation, does provide comfort and protection for a prettey wide range of temps, (25-58 deg Farenheit.)
gave as a gift and was asked to get more.
Perfect fit!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
My previous favorite briefs, Patagonia, changed their style a year ago, and they don't fit me as well as the older ones, so on the recommendation of another reviewer, I decided to try the ExOfficio Give-N-Go Sport Briefs, and I'm absolutely delighted with the fit.
For me, most of the others tend to ride up, but not these, and as Alexander S noted, they're really easy to sink-wash and wear the next day (or use two pairs and alternate). The manufacturer recommends after washing, roll them in a towel and stomp on them. Works great!
Stats: I'm 5'8", 145#, with a 32 waist and inseam.
I'll buy more before ExOfficio changes their style too!
Great fit and does what it's supposed to
I bought these for a 2 week backpacking trip in Europe last summer and knew I only wanted to bring 2-3 pairs of underwear that I'd be able to wash in a sink of a hostel/hotel and be dry the next day. These worked out so great for me that I ended up buying another 2 pairs when I got home. These are extremely comforable and wick moisture extremely well. I've had them for about a year and wear them day in and day out and they have held up very well. I'm very impressed with these and would definately recommend them for anyone.
"...and wear them day in and day out..."
My kid does that, so I bought a bigger tent with a second door.
hahah I guess I should have specified different pairs...
Love it!
Nice fitting and Quick dry. Comfortable and do not smell. Worn it in recent climbing trip. Gotten 4 of it to last me thru the 1 week expedition. Now i wear it for my runs.
not recommended
The fit is fine and they dry fairly quickly but any moisture from sweat is felt against the skin, feeling clammy and gross. Less than 12 hours of wear and they started to smell bad, too. Maybe I am spoiled by various brands of merino underwear but I can't recommend these. Glad I only ordered one pair.

I have been guiding canoe wilderness trips in the BWCA since 1990 and NEVER found more comfortable or suitable underwear. We were hit by thunderstorms our second day of a six day trip and had rain at least half of the trip.
I bought 4 pair "just in case" but two pair have never been worn. I alternated between the two pair washing one in the river when I bathed and hanging them to dry before hitting the sack every night. Even with the rain, the "spare pair" were always ready to go by morning.
I am thinking of switching to these for every day wear. If you have ever had to deal with "heat rash" or those other nasties, you will appreciate how well these babies breath. I give 'em a 5 star rating!
I see London I see France
Why didn't I give this product 5 gold stars? Well, frankly, because it is underwear. If you just toss around 5 big ones for a sweaty pair of athletic undergarments you'd likely give the same rating for door stops or dental floss. When I'm working out, I don't want to be thinking about the comfort level of manhood supporter. This product fits the bill just fine. Don't hesitate to buy them. Go larger. I'm only a 31 waist and the medium fits great.
Men's Give-N-Go Sport Brief
I bought a pair of the ExOfficio Boxer...
I bought a pair of the ExOfficio Boxer Briefs and love them. I wish I had ordered more when they were on sale. I like how they are not to tight but not too loose. Can anyone tell me if the briefs are the same way. Thanks
They fit the same "not too tight, not too loose"!
As promised. Good brief.
They do what they are supposed to do - fairly snug, breathe OK, and wash up easily, dry quickly. I use these for workouts on the road - one each day. Better than boxers for workouts, but same principle (wash and wear).
Yo! Sweet underoos.
Nicest pair of underwear I've ever owned. Comfy and good for actively movin' around and stuff like that. No access hole/fly, but you get used to pulling up a leg hole to pee through. Or, just yank the band down--but the elastic is really solid and this leg hole method is easier.
Seems expensive for underwear, but there's a reason for it. They are bombproof, easy to care for and clean, perform well, and make your junk look huge.
Thanks Backcountry for the gift certificate that inspired me to buy these bad boys!
i reviewed the boxer briefs already (awesome) but i got a pair of these for wearing with board shorts (never been a fan of dangling my junk all over). These are perfect for unlined board shorts, lower cut than the others, quick drying, keep the goods in place. little snugger than the others (they are supposed to be, and it isnt much), but plenty of stretch for lil buddy.

hello. I simply do not believe in a God because there have been no evidence to prove that there is a God. There are countless of different gods, countless of different religions, and yet all requires blind faith and many have made their kids believe in their religion without being taught to question it.
Hello, as I stated in my introduction post, I am a christian. I would like to hear some of your beliefs as to why a God does not exist, or if you do believe he exists, why you believe he exists. Everyone is welcome to post it here, try to make it a brief paragraph if you can, I just want to develop an understanding of your reasoning.
Being a Christian, I've made my decision. That decision offers no compromise; therefore, I'm closed to anything else.

Okay then, I know its hard to speak for everyone in this forum that does not believe in God, but could you guys speak on behalf of them that for most, the biggest reason for not believing in a God is because of lack of evidence?

Lack of Evidence.Why do you not believe in the tooth fairy? Lack of Evidence.Why do you not believe in the greek gods? Lack of Evidence.Why do you not believe in Wargaflooppla? Lack of Evidence....and so on it goes.
I'm not heading anywhere, I am trying to develop an understanding for your beliefs as I have stated multiple times. =)
I've copied & pasted your reply to me from the intro section:lol trick question?To me, God is the creator of everything (in the sense that he created the Heavens and the Earth, and the things on the Earth, and then everything we know today has branched off of his creation).Basically to me, God is kind of like a parent-figure..... God wants me to succeed in life, help others, and do great things. I want to do good things in the name of God, to make God proud, and not let God down. I can easily compare this to the relationship I have with my dad. I want to make my dad happy, make him proud of me, and do things for him and not let him down. Take a parent of a problematic kid for example:If the kid knowingly does things that hurt and affect other people in negative ways, the parent would not reward their kid, but rather punish that kid. Likewise, I believe it is the same way for God, but on a grander scale.I am of the belief that to get sent to Hell, you really have to be a bad person, the type of person that you or I or most people would look at and say: "they do not deserve to live." Even as bad as that person might be, God offers them a chance to change their ways and ask for forgiveness, but if the person refuses and continues their ways, knowing that their ways are bad, then what do you think that person deserves? Especially if the person presented with plenty of opportunity to change their ways, and refuse to.Likewise, the parent of the kid attempts to help their kid change their ways if they are being bad, but if the person continues to keep being bad, affecting others negatively, the parent abandons their kid. Even after that abandonment the kid might have the opportunity to change their ways and try to rebuild their relationship with the parent, but it doesn't always happen.What makes God different from a parent-type is that if you are truly sincere in your apology and truly feel terrible about the bad things that you have committed in your life, God will forgive you.Bad is kind of a broad word to use, considering its really a matter of opinion, but I think you get the idea...I was hoping for a better answer than what you've provided. So far you seem to have painted a rather childish father figure image into deep space; you even called it "him". I'm just wondering why you believe such things. What good reasons and/or evidence do you have? Being born into a family or culture which you've adopted this image isn't a good reason.So I ask again, what do you mean by "god"?
Quote from: WeZzZzRURR on June 05, 2012, 11:59:27 PMI'm not heading anywhere, I am trying to develop an understanding for your beliefs as I have stated multiple times. =)Here's the thing; in a way, you already do understand what it's like to hold non-beliefs. Humanity has invented thousands of gods throughout history. Odds are, you have not heard of 98-99% of them. All of those gods, you do not believe. You do not pay attention to them. If they truly existed, and wanted human worship, they would've made their presence obvious a long time ago, and it would be just as obvious today. Your non-belief is not based on hate, or any "issue" you have with things. The gods are simply irrelevant and non-existence. All of them.Except for one. You made an exception for just one of them. Now, take your reasons for non-beliefs in all those other gods, and extend it by just one, and you'll understand what it means to hold no beliefs in any gods.
gahhhhh I thought I was careful enough to not refer to God as him, but oh well.... I knew you would call me out on that haha..... Ummm, as far as me referring to God as a him, I think that's just kind of my tendency to refer to God as such, because that is just what I am used to seeing I guess. In all honesty, I don't know if God is a him, a her, or something that we lack the vocabulary to describe, and quite frankly, it doesn't matter to me.... What matters to me is that I am on this world because of God (belief, not a statement of fact). I am provided with the opportunity to help others because of God.
Now as far as my "childish" portrayal of God (pun intented? =D), I just find that is a pretty good model for my relationship with God.... It may be to childish to you, but to me, it is what I believe, and I would want to thoroughly get to know someone and try to see life through their shoes before calling their beliefs "childish", but that's just my opinion.
I am going to have to tell you that legitimate evidence of God's existence does not exist, and I believe for good reason....
If we all knew for a fact that God existed, then there would be absolutely no faith aspect to the religion.
Everyone would pretty much be forced to believe in God just because we would have to, because we would know for sure that God is real.
Faith is something that we all rely on on a day to day basis, whether we want to admit it or not. To criticize faith is to be a hypocrite.
...but I would love nothing more than to see you guys in the afterlife.
...the biggest reason for not believing in a God is because of lack of evidence?
Thousands of religions have been claimed as real. You are your own custom version of a christian version. Your god, the one that you think is the true one, is just as invisible as all the others, which to you are obviously false, as they are to us. Your god requires faith and belief, just like all the false gods which you know are obviously not true. That is where we differ.As we like to point out to all believers, you are an atheist when it comes to every other god but your own. So our atheism differs from yours by only one god. So close, and yet so far.Most if not all of us consider all religions mythical. The Greeks used to actually believe in Zeus and Apollo and Atlas. The Romans believed in Janus and Mars and Neptune. The Norse had Odin, the American Indians had trickster coyotes and wise ravens. Each of these things was truly believed (and there are American Indians who still believe their stories today) but each is taught as myth in schools. Other religions older than your own have persisted, just as yours has. Hinduism too has holy books, holy men, holy holidays, holy expectations. The muslim religion is living proof that something can be made up on the spot and turned into a new religion. Yes it used some of christianity as a basis for its story, but it is also very different from your religion. And one guy whipped it out in just a few years. Of course the lack of proof is relevant to atheists. The inaccuracy of "facts" within each religion makes them suspect as well. Your bible says that Jacob made striped goats by mating them in front of striped sticks. That is just plain silly, which makes it troublesome, being as the bible is, as we've been told by many, the perfect word of god. A real god would not include nonsense.And if that were the only nonsense, we might be able to overlook it. But everything from the creation story and the ark to Moses running around for 40 yeaers in the desert with a million people and Jesus sacrificing himself for a few days adds to the nonsensical nature of the book. A god that sets up Adam and Eve to fail (which he knew they would because he is omniscient according to most) just so he could send down the kid to sacrifice himself is the stuff of myth and legend. But it is not the stuff of reality. I have been an atheist for half a century and haven't once found my lack of belief challenged by anything I've encountered in reality. Nor have I encountered dirt-eating snakes, four legged insects or bats that were birds. I've not received a satisfactory explanation as to why your god was afraid of iron chariots or where the Egyptian gods that were not strong enough to ward off the christian god (the Moses staff/snake story) came from. Neither Egypt, which kept great records, nor Rome, which kept great records, made any mention of either Moses or Jesus. And christians everywhere have to find different ways to explain why JC didn't return in the lifetime of those he spoke to when he promised he would. I say different ways because one god and one kid have spawned well over 30,000 variations on the christian theme, where the religion hosts everything from snake bit snake handlers and very vocal tongue-speakers to dudes in popemobiles and tv evangelists. The only common thread being their request for money.Now, toss into the mix science, which explains everything better than 2,000 year old sheepherders, and atheism trumps the living daylights out of all religion.I know you wanted only a paragraph, but sadly, reality isn't simple enough to write Cliff Note versions of Cliff Notes. I had to make it at least this long just to cover the basics. Added: In a post above, you said we all rely on faith. Yes I do. Faith in my friends, faith that I won't die in a car wreck when I go to the store, etc. Friends have failed me, and though I've been lucky, others haven't made it to the store. So even the faith we rely on is far from infallible. And it in no way resembles the faith of the religious, which is the only thing they have to work with because their god won't show up and say hi. That faith is very different than my faith in the blandness of a McDonalds hamburger.
There's just far too much wrong in your last post (#16) to address. Maybe start here:http://www.biblicalnonsense.com/index2.html
I too have to get to bed. But as for your claim that nothing in the bible has been proven wrong, I would say the astronomy and physics and chemistry and evolution prove that the creation story is wrong. Chemistry, geology, biology, paleontology and hydrology prove the flood never happened. Archaeology can't find even a hint that Moses and the gang wandered around for decades, and again, striped sticks don't make striped goats. Nor can history find Jesus. We don't have to explain how the universe began. We're working on it though But we only have to show evidence that the biblical version is somewhat (make that 'dearly') wanting. Science cannot explain everything, nor will it ever be able to. There's just too much of it. But given enough time, we gt enough figured out to get rid of the major mysteries. The bible just keeps falling further and further behind. Astronomers can explain why a hundred billion galaxies formed. Your bible didn't even know there was even one. you don't have much to trump us with. In fact, you've got nothing.
All I'm trying to say is that honestly think about it, this forum really wouldn't exist in the manner that it presently does had any part of the bible been proved 100% incorrect.

Quote from: Star Stuff on June 06, 2012, 01:38:18 AMThat makes no sense whatsoever.

Quote from: ParkingPlaces on June 06, 2012, 01:29:28 AMAstronomers can explain why a hundred billion galaxies formed. you don't have much to trump us with. In fact, you've got nothing.Do you see the problem here? Astronomy has been proven false, something I was not even aware of but okay, and yet parking places claims that it can explain why a hundred billion galaxies, a number that we couldn't even count to in our lifetime, have formed... Now what I was saying, is that if any part of the bible was proven 100% wrong, the Christian religion would not be as dominant as it is today, in fact, it probably wouldn't even be close...... likewise, if all religions had this aspect to them (as many already do), the need to debate over the subject would dramatically decrease, thus decreasing the forums created for such discussion and debate, thus this forum PROBABLY wouldn't exist the way it does, it would exist more as factual discussion as opposed to debate. Just saying.
That makes no sense whatsoever. Astrology has been shown to be false, yet there's lot's of people who believe it.
Okay, things may start getting rough now. When you return, please provide us something that proves to you, outside of the bible, that the flood actually occurred. Explain what sort of phenomena you would expect to see worldwide that proves that the earth was once under miles of water, explain why there are no marsupials anywhere near Mr. Ararat, explain why we have many millions of dinosaur and other critter fossils (ostensibly caused by the flood, as per other christians on this site) but no human fossils are mixed in with them. Explain why there is no genetic evidence that points to the human population being down to seven people 4,000 years ago, how the Chinese, whose history goes back before the flood survived, how the Egyptians, whose history predates the flood, survived, how the people of the America's, whose history goes back far further, survived, how the cave painting in France, much older than even Eden, survived untouched, how the peoples of what is now Scandinavia and England and Ireland and Germany and Russia and Africa survived the flood. Because there was no disruption in their history. Explain where the water came from, how the fresh water fish survived saltier water, how salt water fish survived less salty water, how the plants survived being drowned and made an immediate comeback, where the water went, why ice cores drilled out of Greenland ice fields that go back over a million years show no such flood, why there is no, and I repeat, no geology that indicates that there was ever such a flood, no hydrology that indicates a flood, no biology that indicates that there was a flood, no chemistry indicates that there was a flood, no nothing but one old book that says that there was a flood. Your book. Our earth. How you gonna win?Proving the bible 100% is easy. Finding ways to explain it to you and your brethren. That's the impossible part.

When Rick Warren gave his address at President Obama's first inauguration, he made a plea: "When we fail to treat our fellow human beings and all the earth with the respect that they deserve, forgive us." Forgive us, Rick Warren, for not treating you with enough respect. Forgive us for being a nation of too many gratuitous haters when you and your family are suffering profoundly from the suicide of your son, Matthew.
The suicide of Rick Warren's son, Matthew, to a self-inflicted gunshot wound has created an unpleasant war of words in the blogosphere at a time when Warren, his family and his congregation need comfort. Warren, the head of the Saddleback Church and author of numerous spiritual bestsellers, including "The Purpose-Driven Life," has been a lightening rod for critics who spurn his evangelism and find his faith shallow.
Matthew's suicide, however, sparked a different type of nasty. A casual skim of comments to online articles has digressed to anti-gun legislation, homophobia, mental illness and the high-minded claim of hypocrisy. "I can guess correctly that Warren's book The Purpose Driven Life didn't work on Junior. Or maybe that trying to ram it down his gullet caused him the mental illness." Does it get any uglier?
Warren, whose prepared sermon for the Sunday after his son died was ironically entitled "Surviving Tough Times," responded with wisdom and humility to this insipid barking in a Facebook post. "Grieving is hard. Grieving as public figures, harder. Grieving while haters celebrate your pain, hardest."
The Los Angeles Times ran with the theme and is currently polling thousands on the question of whether or not public figures have a harder time than others mourning the loss of a family member. The survey misses the point. Warren just told you how hard it was for his family. "Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." Tolstoy left us with this observation. Let the Warren family be unhappy in its own way without the added burden of addressing heartless strangers.
Suicide generates a complex set of emotions for survivors: pathos, confusion, desperation, denial, resentment, delusion, longing. The list goes on. And because grieving for family and friends of a suicide is so ambiguous and complicated, it is not only the insensitive who need to be ignored. There are verbal consolations of the well-meaning that unintentionally cause hurt. It is no solace to explain an inexplicable death because it opens the wound more while not diminishing the looming question mark. Who are we to really know?
Then there is the "At least he…" meager comfort words followed by a certain age or life events/milestones that the person experienced. It does not matter ultimately because what the person has behind him is little compared to the potential of what was yet to come. The same is true for "at least she has found peace." A grieving family would often give anything for one more day together, for the possibility of finding peace here and not through non-existence.
And while there is nothing one can say to bring back Matthew Warren, there is something to say to his despairing family in this moment of public vulnerability. Block out all the noise and all the hate and acknowledge the anger so that you can grieve properly and get to love. Comedian Bill Mahler quipped that, "Suicide is a way of saying to God, 'You can't fire me, I quit.'" But when someone quits unexpectedly – because every suicide even if it is anticipated is still a shock – family and friends experience anger. They feel guilty expressing it because anger can feel like another form of betrayal. "How can I be angry at someone who lived with so much pain?" You can be angry because someone who takes his own life has also taken a piece of yours. You can be angry over the moments you will not have together.
The philosopher C. G. Prado writes that although the person who takes a life – an elector – has usually made this decision after much agony, those on the receiving end may resent the conclusion. Matthew said as much to his father, as Warren reported in a letter to his staff last Saturday, "Dad, I know I'm going to heaven. Why can't I just die and end this pain?" He lived ten years beyond this but, even so, his family will never be the same. Many psychologists believe that grieving can only begin once the anger and confusion is properly articulated and understood. That's harder to do when you've got the static of public cruelty.
Warren wrote to those in worship with him that he and his wife, Kaye, held their hands as they faced crisis and loss. They prayed with congregants and friends at gravesides and bedsides. "Today, we need your prayer for us," he wrote.
Rick Warren, we pray for you and your family that you will be able to hold loving memories of your son, unblemished by the blight of our nation's most thoughtless souls. If there can be a purpose-driven death, let it be Matthew's. Let him teach us to love each other more, or at very least, to keep silent in respect and with dignity.

Moveable Feast with America's Favorite Chefs
Moveable Feast with America's Favorite Chefs Previous Broadcasts
KQED 9: Sat, Dec 4, 2010 -- 1:00 PM
This salute to American cooking traditions features six of the country's favorite chefs to represent the diversity of food and culture that makes the US the world's great melting pot: Ming Tsai (Simply Ming), Ruth Reichl (Gourmet's Diary of a Foodie), Lidia Bastianich (Lidia's Italy), Rick Bayless (Mexico - One Plate at a Time), Jose Andreas (Made In Spain) and Chris Kimball (America's Test Kitchen From Cook's Illustrated).
Setting the stage for a show full of mouth-watering dishes perfect for family and friends, the program begins with all of the chefs sharing the stage in a communal kitchen. Then, in the spirit of a potluck dinner, each chef contributes a single course to the banquet, then "passes the plate" to the next chef. It concludes with all six chefs tasting the dishes of their colleagues at this one-of-a-kind progressive dinner and sharing stories about their dishes.

Captioned "vente d'une esclave (sale of a slave), Benoit describes this sale and gives some of its background. A European friend of his had lived with a young and very beautiful creole slave woman by whom he had two children and who he intended to marry; the woman was considered by all as the mistress of the household. The friend had promised to free/manumit her, but he died on the very day that he was going to town to process the manumission papers. Thus, the woman and her children were still enslaved and were sold by the will's executors. Benoit writes how this sale was a truly sad and heartbreaking spectacle to witness; in fact, he says, the woman brought tears to the eyes of all who knew her and who had considered her as a legitimate wife and free woman (p. 55). Benoit (1782-1854), a Belgian artist, visited Suriname around 1831 and apparently stayed for several months. The 100 lithographs in his book (hand colored in the John Carter Brown copy), accompanied by textual descriptions of varying detail, are derived from drawings he made during his visit, which included time in Paramaribo, the capital, as well as trips into the interior visiting Maroons and Amerindians. Forty of his lithographs, with our translations from the French text, are shown on this website.

It's been a rough end to the week for our BlackBerry loving friends over at CrackBerry. The PlayBook, the one and only tablet from BlackBerry, long promised an update to BlackBerry 10, has basically been killed. A sad day for those who clung to their PlayBook waiting, hoping, but CrackBerry is determined to turn the mood around by giving away any tablet that isn't a PlayBook. That's right; you could win an iPad on CrackBerry!
Head on over there for the full rundown and to enter. There's no doubts a few ex-BlackBerry users and CrackBerry frequenters amongst the iMore community, so head on over and help them out and show a little love! The contest runs through July 1, with winners announced the following day. Good luck!

I strongly suggest anyone not familiar with the rules and roles of mafia to throughly read up before joining. Not abiding by the rules of the game could seriously compromise the game, lead to a modkill. You have been warned!
Below are the rules as often used in Mafia games, borrowed from numerous Moderators.
- 1. This game is moderated by me (pancakemix), I am the law. Whatever I say goes. If I make a mistake I'll do my best to fix it. All roles will be given out according to the prescribed additions to these rules as opposed to standard rules. Please refer to the special rules regarding this game.
2. Do not quote any PMs you receive from the Mod. The only things you may post (loosely paraphrasing) are your roles (and anything associated with them), and alignment, during the active game. Once the game has concluded, feel free to post the rest of your personal information. You may not post your win condition, how many words are in your role PM, or any other kind of way to get around not quoting PMs.
3. If you forget your role, or you delete it, that is your own fault. I suggest not doing either.
4. All 'votes' and 'unvotes' must be distinct. If they are not, they will not be tallied. (I.E. Vote: Guybrush Threepwood) If you vote two or more times consecutively without an unvote in between them, then the first vote will be the one that gets tallied.
5. Lynching requires a majority of the town vote, and once the majority has been reached any and all unvotes will not be counted.
6. Once your death scene has been posted, you are dead. You can no longer post anything revealing or of substance. Whining is alright, Voices from beyond the grave are alright, as long as nothing of substance is revealed.
7. You may vote 'no lynch' to end the day without a death.
8. The game will not be discussed outside this thread, unless your role specifically says you may do so.
9. Do not edit/delete previous posts. Whatever you say goes into historical record.
10. Clues or game information may be hidden in the text, but nothing that would give away a player's identity.
11. Joking in the thread is fine, but don't let it get carried away and take over as spam.
12. Be attentive and active in the game. If I see you are not posting at all, I will prod all those who are inactive. If there is no timely response, you will be replaced.
13. Each game 'day' will last SEVEN 24 hour days. I will remind everyone if the deadline is near, and to look toward voting. If no majority is reached at the end of the deadline if made, the player with the most votes will be lynched and the game will enter into the night phase. In the event of a tie, the lynchee will be determined by a 24-hour final ballot in which every player casts a final (no changes) vote for ANY player. If there is still a tie, a runoff ballot will be held between the two or more who tied. The deadline may be extended upon request.
14. Similarly, each game 'night' will not last more than THREE 24 hour days. I will remind all those who have night choices when the deadline is near. If at the end of the second 24 hour day I have not received your night choice, you will have lost your choice action (I.E. for mafia, there would be a 'no kill', etc).
15. If you have any questions about whether you should or shouldn't do something, or just need some clarification, feel free to PM me.
And of course
16. Have Fun!
Special thanks safariguy, for keeping these rules somewhere that I could find them.
Additional Rules for CYOC Mafia:
1. After a player has elected to sign up, he/she will pm me the following:
- The name of a character (by "character", I mean any person, being, or object (or group thereof), living or dead, real or fictitious, sentient or not. Anything. Up to you)
- A short bio/description of the character (a link to a character bio would be sufficient)
- A picture of the character (optional, but preferred)
Based on the data sent to me, I will create a role for the character. The player who sent me the character will recieve that role with a random alignment.
2. If someone else has already chosen your character, I'll ask you to pick another.
3. Please let me know if you do NOT want a post restriction. I know that several regulars are not fond of them, but if I feel a role would call for a post restriction, I will add one. All you have to do is opt out at some point before the game starts, otherwise I'll assume you're cool with it.
4. I make no apologies for the balance of this game.

An update from Melanie, a sophomore Hunt Leadership Scholar on the pre-med track in Dedman College of Humanities and Sciences:
Just a few weeks ago, the most exciting thing I had planned for the summer was taking a General Chemistry II course in Dallas. Now I find myself in Zambia, an ocean away from the U.S., as a global health volunteer of the Bush Institute. I am helping to renovate a clinic and learn about cervical cancer from women at risk for the disease. In the blink of an eye, my summer plans changed and along with it, my perspectives of others and myself.
What has amazed me about my experience in Zambia is in learning how similar I am to Zambians. In most cases, the people I have met share my core values – family, faith, and education. We differ, however in the opportunities available to us based upon where we live, particularly our access to health care and our ability to avoid preventable diseases, such as cervical cancer.
Growing up in America with health insurance, my family and I have never had to worry about access to health care. When we need medical treatment, we get it. This is not true for Zambians.
Death from cervical cancer is very rare in the U.S. today due to the ready availability of Pap smears. In Zambia, cervical cancer is the most common cancer from which women suffer. In fact, Zambia has the second highest rate of cervical cancer in the world. And although cervical cancer can be prevented and is easily treated when caught in the early stages, it has been estimated that 80% of the women who get cervical cancer in Zambia eventually die of the disease.
When a woman dies, we all lose. Some may lose a daughter, mother, wife, sister, or friend. When a country loses a woman, it loses a key stabilizing force in the family and community. It loses part of its future. That's why the Zambian government is committed to combatting cervical cancer and the Bush Institute has joined to help them.
Like me, Zambian women are filled with potential and deserve the chance to live and show it. This summer, I learned about the power of chemistry, but in a way far different than I had expected. Though people live in different countries and speak different languages, when we allow ourselves to be open to those who are "different," a powerful interpersonal chemical reaction occurs that helps us realize that at our core, we are not different at all. This summer I've learned how chemistry can bind and heal.
It is my hope that the health clinic that I helped to renovate with the Bush Institute in Zambia will serve as a safe haven, protecting the lives of women in the fight against cervical cancer. And though I still have to take General Chemistry II, when I do so, it will serve a far greater purpose – to help prepare me for my return to Zambia when I can join the fight against cervical cancer, not as a student, but as a doctor.

MaryAnn F. Kohl, art book author and publisher, is in the running for a $250,000 Pepsi Refresh Grant – and she needs your votes every day this month.
If awarded this grant, Kohl will use the funds to bring hands-on art to children around the country whose schools have no art program. Her project will bring art workshops to 6,000 classroom teachers (and 150,000 children) who have no art programs in their schools.
"Kids need art," says Kohl. "The idea of being able to reach out to all those teachers and students is just awesome. I have been so concerned to see how many schools have had to give up art programs because of budget constraints. When I learned about the Pepsi Refresh Project, I though this might be my chance to help those schools restore a great art experience to their classrooms."
All you have to do is cast a vote for Kohl's Art by Great Masters, Art for Great Kids project each day this month. Voting is open to everyone – and there are 3 easy ways to vote!
- Vote online: http://www.refresheverything.com/greatartkids.
- Vote from your mobile phone: Text 104840 to Pepsi (73774). (Standard text messaging rates apply.)
- Vote through the Pepsi Voting app on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/KaplanToys. <!–.&NBSP;&NBSP;
At the end of December, the Pepsi Refresh Project will tally the votes and announce the winners. We want Kohl to be on that list!
Kohl founded Bright Ring Publishing, Inc. in 1985, and celebrates her 25th year in business this year. She formerly taught at Mt. View Elementary School in Ferndale, Washington, and has consulted for Fisher-Price, the Jim Henson Company, Blues Clues, and Little Einsteins, as well as writing for national magazines and giving workshops around the country. Kohl's newest book is "Art with Anything: 52 Weeks of Fun with Everyday Stuff." Her philosophy, "It's the process, not the product," guides her writing. She provides open-ended art activities for young children that focus on the experience of art, not the final product a child creates.
Thank you for voting! Why not help promote this idea? http://pep.si/h7KG2o

It's a sister for Satyana!
Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof welcomed a daughter, Keeva Jane Denisof, on Wednesday, May 23, her rep confirms to PEOPLE.
"They are all doing well," the rep says.
The couple, who met on the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, announced the pregnancy in December.
While promoting American Reunion, Hannigan remarked that the size of her bump had people wondering if she was due sooner rather than later.
"The last couple of times I've been at stores people have been like, 'Oh, you're ready to pop, right?'" the actress, 38, said. "I'm like, 'Actually, I have a couple more months.'"
Soon after confirming Keeva's birth, How I Met Your Mother star Tweeted a sneak peek of her newborn — a photo of her little hand.

We live in changing times in the geo-space. Our work with location data as a company, began in the 90's. Its been an interesting ride; from desktop to Internet, to now the cloud and mobile. New conferences appeared like Where 2.0; too many so called experts and innovators were thrust at us. Much of this left us cold; GIS for the masses with venture capitalists lurking in the background. We became a little cynical.
But truly exciting things are now happening. As the term GIS fades; location data and the integration of other business systems (SAP etc) with geospatial services moves our work from its historic niche, to solving real business problems. With mobile, new location data is becoming available. Mobile apps now provide access to location services, for both the consumer and the Enterprise. ArcGIS Online we see as huge. Its a pleasure to hear guys like Sean Gorman talk about our geospatial future. In fact talking about Sean, here is an excellent recent James Fee interview with the man:

Search on for Los Angeles driver in deadly crash
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police are searching for a driver who caused a deadly eight-vehicle pileup while apparently fleeing after a drive-by shooting.
Officer Lyle Knight says someone opened fire at a carwash fundraiser in South Los Angeles shortly before 8 p.m. Tuesday.
Nobody was hit and the silver Pontiac took off. Witnesses or victims began chasing it in a Dodge Charger.
Minutes later, both cars ran a red light and slammed into cross-traffic. The Pontiac hit a Saturn, killing 39-year-old Jose Cuevas, of Downey.
The Charger hit a pickup truck, which struck parked cars and a bicyclist. The Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/14UQAuG ) says the Charger's driver is in critical condition.
Police say five other people received minor injuries.
The Pontiac's driver is being sought.

Q: Your 16-year-old son spends all his time with his girlfriend. Should you nudge him to keep up with his male buddies?
Parent advice
(from our panel of staff contributors)
Nah. His buddies will take care of that, and the spend-every-moment-together thing will play out on its own. Although I did tell one of my sons that his girlfriend's refusal to have anything to do with his friends was a red flag.
I would be too busy talking responsibility and birth control with him.
Expert advice
There is a good chance your son will alienate his buddies by ditching them for his girlfriend, says Anthony Rao, child psychologist and author of "The Way of Boys: Raising Healthy Boys in a Challenging and Complex World" (William Morrow).
But he doesn't need to hear that from you.
"As a parent, you often want to help your child not go through all the ups and downs that you did," Rao says. "But this is not time for a lecture. This is the time to respect the new, very intense, very powerful feelings your son is having and learn to approach him as a young adult — which he is starting to become."
You can certainly set up clear boundaries for your son. ("You do have control here," Rao tells parents. "Use it.") So curfews, where and when he and his girlfriend can be alone in your home, and what behaviors you approve and disapprove of should all be on the table.
That discussion can include a conversation about balance.
"It's an amazing opportunity to talk about pacing and balancing your personal life and your love life with all your other demands," Rao says. "You can talk to him about being careful not to burn out, like when you overtrain for a sport.
"You can give information, but you have to be careful not to lecture," he says. "This is not a young child. This is someone with his own identity with very strong emotions."
So the overarching tone should be one of respect and, ultimately, approval, says Rao.
"It's an opportunity to point out to your son what he's doing right," he says. "'I really like the way you show her you care about her.' 'It's awesome the way you treat her with so much respect.' 'I like the way you two are so compassionate with each other.' Encourage these things because they're great behaviors for your son to have mastered down the road."
And if the balance portion of the conversation falls on deaf ears, step aside and let his buddies razz him about the time he's no longer devoting to them.
"You've got to recognize and respect that there's an intensity of really great emotions here," says Rao. "You can't stop him from having these emotions or feelings, and if you get into too much conflict with your son over it, you're going to send him the message that you don't respect what he's feeling. That will just shut down the dialogue."
Have a solution?
You want your kids to be creative, but your daughter has no interest in art or craft projects. Any ideas? Find "The Parent 'Hood" page on Facebook, where you can post your parenting questions and offer tips and solutions for others to try.

A Rainbow of Mother's Day Tech Gift Ideas
I know I'm not alone when I say picking a gift for mom, especially a tech gift, is equally about fashion as function. More specifically, the color of the device can make or break the possibility of the "oh wow" factor when my mom opens a gift, as she has a magpie's affinity for brightly colored objects. With Mother's Day on the horizon I thought it could be fun to gather up a wide assortment of the most colorful of tech designs for mom, grandmother, sister...or even the fellas who know color is nothing to shy away from.
The Nokia Lumia 900: darling of this year's CES show, Nokia's flagship Windows Phone handset is currently available in black and white for a really nice price of $99.99. But it's the matte cyan model I noticed garnered the most "oooh, which phone is that?" responses while walking about, a bright burst of blue where other Android, iOS and Windows Phone devices are limited to the usual me-too black, white and grey finishes. In fact, the cyan model is so popular, it's currently out of stock!
Native Union Unlimited POP Phone: available in 8 different colors and inspired by the classic 1950's Bakelite telephone handset, the POP phone works with just about any smartphone, alongside with Skype, Google Talk and other VOIP solutions. But the real appeal is David Turpin's retro design (my own girlfriend begged for one for ages until I finally got her a blue one, which she loves). A new Unlimited line with neon colors ($39.99) is available at Kitson in Los Angeles for additional color options.
BIG JAMBOX by Jawbone: Announced today, the super sized Bluetooth wireless speaker solution is arguably the best looking portable speaker on the market today (I like it because it looks like a huge LEGO piece). Whether red, black or white, the portable stainless steel speaker should make a great impression on both eyes and ears, and works double duty for the home office and for on-the-go weekend use.
Incase 6" Sync and Charge Cable: you probably don't want to make these colorful cables the only gift for a Mother's Day gift package, but they'd be an excellent complementary accessory if you're gifting dear ole mom a new iPad, iPhone, or iPod. Available in 5 colors, the 6" 30-pin ports cable adds a splash of fashionable color for syncing duties.
Pablo Designs Pixo Lamp: design-conscious LED task lighting can get expensive. But not only is the Pablo Pixo Lamp super cute, it offers an integrated USB charging port at the base, and it's a very reasonable $190. Although only available in white, silver, or graphite (would love this in yellow), the energy-efficient LEDs cast a very warm and welcome light wherever you direct it towards.
Sony Limited Edition Z Signature Collection VAIO Laptop: It's too bad this limited edition gold model is sold out, as ladies with a fashion streak might find the gold and brown case reminiscent of a Louis Vuitton accessory. It had a price to match too, at $2999.99!
Nikon 1 J1 Digital Camera: I recently decided to ditch my full-size Nikon DSLR this time around during a press trip to Milan for this smaller size interchangeable lens camera, and was I ever grateful after miles of walking convention halls and city streets with the J1 instead of my usual D7000. I was also often stopped on the streets and asked about the camera, the all-white design meeting the approval of the European design set. The J1 proved to be a very capable, and fashionable, travel camera with a versatile multi-purpose 10-30mm lens that has made me believe these in-between smaller format, smaller form factor interchangeable cameras can be a valid replacement for 90% of user's needs. Plus, the super slow motion video capture feature is uh-mazing fun to play around with, even when you totally screw up.
West Elm Colored Stripe Lacquer Boxes: If you know mom isn't a real tech-type, no worries...help her get her home office in order with a decor-friendly decorative/storage item like these lacquer boxes. Tell her she can store away all those ugly USB cables inside one these lovely little boxes and keep it on her desk.
Geneva Sound System Model S: I own and love the Geneva Sound System Model M, the bigger sibling to the Model S, so I'm going to assume the smaller model is similarly sonically satisfying (in fact, Joel rated the S a strong recommend). Whether mounted onto the pedestal or without, the all white model disappears into decor, while the all red punctuates itself as a focal point.
Poppin 15" Khaki Laptop Bag: super cute, super affordable and available in an assortment of colors, these padded laptop totes are functional fashion for just $19. You know that means you can purchase one of every color for her to match any outfit.
Pie Graph Sticky Notes: another accessory item you'll want to combine with one of the more significant items above. But if your mom is the note writing type like mine is, she'll likely love these fun formatted circular sticky notes. So throw a couple into the Poppin bag above, alongside a few of those colorful USB cables, and you've got a fun and colorful home office gift pack on the cheap.

Corey Williams Named Assistant Basketball Coach At Florida State
Oklahoma State assistant coach Corey Williams has been named an assistant basketball coach at Florida State by Head Coach Leonard Hamilton. Williams was recently hired by Oklahoma State - his alma mater - as an assistant coach and the Cowboy's chief recruiter. In accepting the position on Hamilton's staff, Williams moves closer to his roots in Macon, Ga., where both his and his wife's parents still reside.
Williams helped lead Oral Roberts to a pair NCAA Tournament appearances as a coach and led Oklahoma State to consecutive NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 appearances as a player. He was an assistant coach at Oral Roberts from 2000-07 and a player at Oklahoma State from 1989-92.
Williams, 37, was an assistant coach for eight seasons at Oral Roberts where he helped lead the Golden Eagles to an average of 18 wins a season including 20 or more wins in each of the last three seasons and appearances in the NCAA Tournament in each of the last two seasons. Oral Roberts finished with a 23-11 record and won the Mid-Continent Conference Tournament championship this past season. Among its 23 wins during the 2007 season was a victory over No. 3 Kansas on the road at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kan.
As Oral Roberts' chief recruiter during his tenure there, Williams is credited with assembling the recruiting classes that allowed the Golden Eagles to become one of the top teams in the nation. Among the players he is credited with recruiting are Caleb Green, A two-time All-American and the first three-time Player of the Year in Mid-Continent Conference and Ken Tutt the 2006 Mid-Continent Tournament Most Valuable Player. Williams helped attract a majority of the players that dotted the Golden Eagle's roster and the Mid-Continent All-League teams.
Williams played collegiately at Oklahoma State from 1989-92. He is the 13th all-time leading scorer in school history with 1,320 career points. Williams was drafted by both the Chicago Bulls of the NBA and the Kansas City Chiefs of the NFL. He was drafted by the despite the fact that he had not played football since junior high.
Williams chose basketball over football and spent two very productive years with the Bulls. While a member of the Bulls in 1992-93, Williams helped Chicago win its third straight NBA Championship. He also played with the Minnesota Timberwolves during his NBA career. He returned to Oklahoma State as a student assistant in 1994 and was a member of the Cowboys' staff during their 1994 Final Four season. He also played professionally overseas in Taiwan, from 1995-98.
"Corey Williams is an outstanding person who will relate to our players extremely well," said Hamilton. "He has been part of a World Championship team in the NBA, a Final Four Team as a collegiate coach and has recruited and coached some outstanding college players. He will help our team and our players become better because of his knowledge of the game and his ability to help players improve. We are very excited to have him join our staff at Florida State."

Thursday, 28 April 2011 11:55 AM
LONDON (AP) — Practice makes perfect: Kate Middleton and her bridesmaids, together with best man Prince Harry, rehearsed one more time at Westminster Abbey on Thursday, the eve of the most anticipated royal wedding in decades.
But politics intruded on Friday's royal nuptials, with Britain withdrawing its invitation to Syria's ambassador to condemn the violent crackdown on protesters there that has left hundreds dead.
The rehearsal came as Middleton and Prince William released their wedding program, which says they have been deeply touched by an outpouring of affection toward them.
"We are both so delighted that you are able to join us in celebrating what we hope will be one of the happiest days of our lives," they wrote. "The affection shown to us by so many people during our engagement has been incredibly moving, and has touched us both deeply."
They also released a new photograph by celebrity photographer Mario Testino — a warm black-and-white image.
Much is at stake for the royal family, who hope the match bolsters the Windsor dynasty and smooths over memories of the damaging, embarrassing divorce of William's parents, Princess Diana and Prince Charles. William has often referred to his late mother with great affection, and gave Kate his mother's engagement ring — ensuring she isn't forgotten during the sacred occasion.
The ceremony will offer pomp and circumstance on a scale to rival Charles and Diana's fairy-tale wedding in 1981, with 1,900 invited guests and royal carriages drawn by mounted troops of the Household Calvary. Rows of bold red, white and blue Union Jacks have been unfurled in the streets and cleaners have scrubbed the parade route.
Tens of thousands of people are expected to line the twisting path from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace, where the new royal couple will appear on the balcony for a kiss watched by millions around the world.
Westminster Abbey itself has been transformed into a blooming forest, with six field maples and two hornbeams lining the aisle leading up to the altar.
Dozens of die-hard fans were already camped out in tents and sleeping bags Thursday near the iconic landmark. Among them was India Marlow-Prince, a 17-year-old from London who was picnicking with friends. The trio painted their faces with the Union Jack and wore tiaras and matching hot pink T-shirts with the homemade slogan "Will and Kate forever."
"She is the Diana of our generation. And Wills is a babe," Marlow-Prince said. "We are a little annoyed at her for taking him, but there's always Harry."
The wedding presents a major security challenge for the 5,000 police officers on duty, who will be on the lookout for Irish dissident terrorists, Muslim extremists, anti-monarchists, protesters and hooligans. A wide range of police will be on patrol: officers on motorcycles, escort specialists, dog handlers, search officers, mounted police, protection officers and firearms units.
Scotland Yard Police Commander Christine Jones said there has been no new terror threat but considerable Internet chatter. "Our operation has been meticulously planned, and we have thought through and planned for a huge range of contingencies," she said.
But it wouldn't be a wedding without a tussle over the guest list. Britain revoked a royal wedding invitation to Syrian Ambassador Sami Khiyami because of violent attacks on protesters by the regime there.
More than 450 people have been killed since mid-March in the uprising against President Bashar Assad's authoritarian regime, with 120 dead over the weekend.
Royal families from Bahrain, Bhutan, Brunei, Kuwait, Lesotho, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Swaziland have been invited to the wedding, prompting the anti-monarchy Republic group to call the guest list "a Who's Who of tyrants and their cronies."
Critics also questioned why there was room for despots in the abbey while former British prime ministers Gordon Brown and Tony Blair, both from the Labour Party, were omitted.
Prime Minister David Cameron called the event a moment of celebration amid a period of tough austerity measures. His Conservative-led government is carrying out 81 billion pounds ($135 million) in spending cuts through 2015, slashing hundreds of thousands of government jobs and sharply hiking tuition fees.
The wedding will bring "happiness and joy and light relief after some difficult times," Cameron told Katie Couric on CBS.
"British people ... feel very deeply about the monarchy and the institution, so it's that mixture of the good-looking prince and the beautiful princess, but it's so much more than that," Cameron said. "It's this institution that's helped bind the country together. And it's got this amazing history that goes way, way back."
Middleton will not promise to "obey" her new husband in her vows but instead to "love, comfort, honor and keep" him.
She will walk up the aisle to the sounds of "I was glad," the anthem setting of Psalm 122 composed by Sir Charles Hubert Hastings Parry for the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902. The anthem was also sung at the 1981 wedding of William's parents.
The hymns — "Guide me, O thou great redeemer," ''Love divine, all loves excelling" and "Jerusalem" — are standards at Church of England marriage ceremonies.
"Guide me, O thou great redeemer" was also the final hymn at Diana's funeral in Westminster Abbey in 1997.
The newlyweds will leave to the march "Crown Imperial" by William Walton, which also figured in Charles and Diana's wedding.
A spokesman at St. James' Palace said Middleton was familiar with classical music but had "a lot of input" from Prince Charles. "They spent a a lot of time listening to the music together on iPods," said the royal functionary, speaking on condition of anonymity.
But as wedding excitement heated up, the weather in London started cooling down. Royal wedding fans may want to pack extra umbrellas.
The Meteorological Office says the day will start off gray and dry with low clouds across London. Some sunny spells may break through but the chance of showers will rise to 30 percent around noon, the time when William and Kate will emerge from the Abbey a newly married couple.

Is $25,000 adequate funding provided by the Grant County Fiscal Court each year to the five fire departments?
Depends on who you ask.
The fire chiefs say the money only helps pay for fuel in a time that expenditures are rising and revenue is not increasing.
However, the county gives more money to its fire departments than most in the state, according Judge-Executive Darrell Link.
