News & Analysis
NXP today: 'Practically a Chinese company'
Junko Yoshida
NEW YORK – For anyone who has known NXP Semiconductors since it was the Dutch giant Royal Philips' subsidiary, NXP today feels much transformed. Instead of pledging changes every quarter, NXP has grown into a company with its own distinct personality and disciplines.
Under the leadership of Rick Clemmer, NXP's CEO, the company has drastically slimmed its product portfolio. The company's management team has cherry-picked product lines that already have either a commanding market position or clear potential – showing "a path to become a leader," Clemmer explained. "It's all about focus."
Further, there is another vital sign of the company's transformation. Clemmer said last week in an interview with EE Times, NXP today is "practically a Chinese company."
Say what?
NXP makes more money in China than in any other single country, said Clemmer. Moreover, the Dutch company employs 8,000 people in China, he added. "The only reason we are still a Dutch company is because we enjoy our tax breaks in the Netherlands."
Indeed, to call NXP a European chip company is a little misleading, since NXP's shipment-based revenue in Greater China has become twice as big as that in Europe, and one in every three employees at NXP is located in China.
Of course, nobody should be surprised. NXP has established a strong presence in China's growing market because China is where a greater number of components are procured, designed into systems, and manufactured.
Last week, EE Times sat down with Clemmer who was here for the announcement of the company's first quarter financial results. With $978 million in revenue in the first quarter, NXP showed a five percent sequential growth. "We delivered near the upper end of our original guidance range," Clemmer noted.
When asked how much of that growth owes to the cyclical upswing of the market, Clemmer responded cautiously. While saying that NXP is "in the early stages of a positive cyclical rebound," Clemmer noted much of its growth actually came from company-specific design wins. The good news is that NXP is beginning to see "tangible results," he said, of the company's transformation.
Clemmer was particularly bullish about NXP's Identification business, serving a range of markets including e-passports, transit ticketing, tags and labels, contact banking cards and e-wallets. In particular, Clemmer said, For NXP, the e-wallet segment – where NFC technology together with security components have been embedded in smart phones – has jumped by 30 percent in the first quarter, while the rest of the company's identification business grew by 20 percent.
Intel-like market share
In fact, NXP, a frontrunner in NFC technology, claims a huge lead in NFC-enabled smartphones and tablets -- over such competitors as Qualcomm, Broadcom and Intel. NXP's customers in NFC-featured smartphones and tablets are said to include: Apple, Nokia, and Samsung.
Noting that NXP's NFC (its wireless technology and security components included) is being designed into 130 smartphone models, Clemmer claimed, "NXP has an Intel-like position" in the red hot e-wallet market. One third of those products are shipping today, he added.
As more consumers carry smartphones, transactions completed by simply by waving an e-wallet-enabled smartphone (without a physical credit card or cash) at the point-of-sale are fast becoming a reality. Contrary to the notion that it may take a long time before the NFC chips actually get inside smartphones, Clemmer said, a number of smartphones are already shipping with NFC in them, often without the user's knowledge. The NFC feature is just waiting to be turned on as the payment infrastructure develops, Clemmer explained.
According to a recent research by Berg Insight, a Sweden-based market research firm serving the telecom industry, global sales of handsets featuring NFC increased ten times in 2011 to 30 million units. Growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 87.8 percent, shipments are forecast to reach 700 million units in 2016, according to the firm.
Rare earth hiccups
Unlike its identification business, where NXP fell flat over the last two quarters, its lighting business was a key thrust of the company's Internet of Things initiative launched a year ago.
By giving a unique IP address to every light bulb at home, NXP has been promoting an energy-saving future in which the user can turn lights on and off individually, dimming or creating scenes from his smartphone, tablet, PC or TV. Clemmer blamed a shortfall of projected revenue in the lighting business to a shortage of rare earth.
China's decision to shut down or nationalize dozens of rare earth metal producers drove up the cost of compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs), forcing CFL manufacturers to delay a plan to add IC drivers to their light bulbs. Such drivers would enable dimming, coloring or networking capabilities in each light bulb. As the price of CFL bulbs shot up, "CFL manufacturers couldn't simply afford to add those IC drivers," said Clemmer.
NXP's GreenChip-enabled light bulbs, according to the company's scenario, will operate on a wireless home sensor network being developed for energy metering, smart appliances and security systems. The JenNet-IP network layer software, designed to tie things together, enables ultra-low-power wireless connectivity in the GreenChip smart lighting solution.
"The only reason we are still a Dutch company is because we enjoy our tax breaks in the Netherlands."
Dutch government must be pretty happy.
Curiously, New York Times had a very interesting story about:"How Apple Sidesteps Billions in Taxes":
This story comes with a great illustrative graphics, called "Double Irish With a Dutch Sandwich"
Definitely worth taking a look!

I don't begrudge any company profits. Companies are in business to make money. If they don't they go out of business and any tax revenues they had generated go away too.
However, I do believe in being good corporate (and private) citizens. Taking reasonable steps to reduce taxes is something everyone does and is fine, but to go to such lengths; twisting loopholes and such (Apple is far from the only company doing this) equates to not paying your fair share.
If companies are squeezing salaries, off shoring jobs and sheltering profits, then they are not creating the wealth that they often use as an excuse to push loopholes to such extremes.
"Taking reasonable steps to reduce taxes is something everyone does and is fine, but to go to such lengths; twisting loopholes and such equates to not paying your fair share."
Pray tell, could you define for us what going to "such lengths" is? And while at that, could you also define what one's "fair share" is?
As far as fair share: one can say (like the supreme court did about pornography) you know it when you see it. But seriously: highly profitable companies, like Apple, which would never have been successful without the US infrastructure, including the tremendous talent in Silicon Valley, should pay at least as much US taxes percentage-wise as the average middle class taxpayer does, which is around 20+ percent of earnings. Apple, same as GE and mopts other large companies fail to do this because they can. And, they can, because the GOP since Reagan convinced us the people (well to more gullible part of us) that government is bad and incompetent, by definition, and that taxes are bad no matter what they are spent on. Both of these are hogwash, but based on incessant repetition and no real fighting back from the other side made it "true".
@Junko: nice expose'! I like Mr. Clemmer's openness but I seriously doubt if he would do well as a politician... or for that matter, an Ethics Professor! How long can any corporation continue along these lines? Are they all working toward an end goal of uber profitability?
MP Divakar
Indeed a very interesting article - but it almost seems to be trying to imply that Apple is responsible for the demise of De Anza college through their (fairly extreme) tax avoidance. To me that looks like a piece of political propaganda!
Gil Russell
Thanks Junko. Corporate lack of community is now an issue. Wonder how many CFO's now consider it a potential lightning rod...,
Frank Tu
N X P = Netherlands eX-Patriot ?
1/3 employees in China sounds a bit high, but most chip companies these days have large eyes on China as a market.
Always be wary of anyone comparing themselves to Intel. You know they're not "like Intel".
If NXP is indeed practically a Chinese company, when would they have practical Chinese CEO?
Thanks for letting us know, Mr. Clemmer. Now I'll lump NXP in along with all the other PLA companies I won't do business with. Don't want any products with Tibetan blood on them.
That goes for Apple too. Once the rebel brand, it now represents the very totalitarian regime it once decried. Fool me once...can't be fooled again!
We are fooling our selves. The very profits these corporations are gathering are not going into hiring (at least not here). CNBC reports that corporations are planning to raise dividends or make acquisitions (mergers). We all know what happens after mergers -- L__offs. The rich just keep sticking it to the American Middle Class.
Look at Greece to see what America will be in a few years: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17898561
Does NXP also has design centre in China? To me it is ok. Honda also sells more two wheelers in India as compare to Japan. Suzuki also sells more car India and as compare to Japan.
I find it interesting that CFLs are not able to be manufactured due to rare earth manulation by China. Given that we can no longer buy incandescent bulbs in the USA in a few years, does that mean we will be using candles in ten years time?
No. CFLs are still being manufactured...but the price has gone up. That means any further efforts to add value to the current CFLs (i.e. adding IC drivers) have been delayed now.
Rare earth is not really rare. It's just expensive to separate from the other materials in dirt. Watch NOVA's special on the periodic table -- very interesting and enlightening.
Consider a company's cash flow as if the company were an electrical component and the cash were electrical current. The system has numerous inputs and outputs. But every bit of energy going into the system must eventually come out of the system in some form.
When a company finds ways to reduce its tax burden, this is equivalent to reducing the electrical load on a device. The result is that the device draws less current from its inputs (i.e. consumers can buy products at lower prices).
Conversely, a company that donates large sums to charities will eventually pass those costs along to consumers. There is no "free energy".
When a company offshores jobs, it provides wealth to people in other countries, while once again lowering prices for all consumers.
If a company employed only domestic workers and also gave large sums of money to charitable causes such as the Haitian earthquake recovery, many would call them heroes. But what we are praising is their willingness to supply current to a heavier load. That current (money) has to come from somewhere, and it comes from the consumers' pockets.
Why blame Clemmer for being candid.That China has baited and exploited the greed of european and american corporates (manufacturers and Bankers) is known. How the western world was fooled and lulled into believing that they were putting China to fullest use.
I would like to set the record straight here. The purpose of this story is illustrating the reality many multinational corporations face. NO companies can do effective business without building a strong presence in the fastest growing market. I appreciated Clemmer's openness in embracing the reality.
In the past when I covered NXP, I was more concerned with all the product lines and teams the company no longer had. But the conversation with Clemmer's last week convinced me of much transformed NXP, more confident, open and comfortable with its own new self.
In 2008 A manager in NXP said 'at least we purify our blood' in comment to the redundancy of a female engineer who is originally from China. In 2011 he is promoted to department manager.
NXP effectively treats its Chinese customer and Chinese Employees as clown.
Unless we act to defend the moral standards that should define us, we are all responsible.
Three decades after the West started trading with China, it is still run by the Communists, if anything much stronger now at the expense of the smaller industrial countries like Japan & Western Europe. While hot companies like Apple have been making mega billions with cheap Chinese labor, those that stumbled like Motorola, Nokia or were lured to China with the promise of a huge market ( e,g. Siemens, GE, Kawasaki ) and yes NXP were reduced to agree to their open blackmail and then have had the "pleasure" of being eaten ALIVE ( their technology stolen ) like in a fine Chinese Banquet.
Within a decade large US corp.s like GE will also be owned by the Chinese Communist Party. The only way to stop the rot is to boycott. There are enough opportunities outside China ( as usual Intel is smarter and ahead =of the pack dominated by Wall St. shysters and have moved Assembly & Test to Vietnam )
Try moving factories out of China -- can't be done. Why doesn't EE Times do a story on that?
I don't mean business reasons alone for leaving China. There are legal roadblocks that the Chinese have put in place for why a company is stuck in China once they move there. For instance, foreign companies have to transfer their plant equipment to a Chinese owned entity. I know of one British manufacturer that tried to move their plant from China to Vietnam and they're still in court after 10yrs. The Chinese legal system is a sham controlled by locals.
Why doesn't the media explore the darker side of doing business in China.
Avoiding china for any semiconductor company is suicidal, they have to go with the flow else perish like many others. In fact their efforts should be lauded for transforming themselves. Even though it's contribution to its parent country's tax bucket is reduced its way better than the company filing for chapter-11.
@Neo1, I totally agree with you. I think all the companies should seriously consider entering both India and China markets because both of these markets provide excellent business opportunities to the companies.
So even if NXP is highly profitable, it still can't help the weak economy of Europe as it is largely Chinese!
It's sad to know that chinas control over Rare earth metals is hurting the sector. What is international community doing to tackle this matter ? Is it the reason why NXP shifted its base to China because it can have easy access to rare earth metal elements ?
40 Percent of Worlds population lives in India-China region. No company can call them global leader by neglecting this part of the world.
it is interesting to see some hypocritical, western-oriented, cold war-minded comments here
The world (in terms of population, not wealth) is not blind on what is real justice and what is hypocritical...
will stop here, this is a technical place, don't want to bring in any more political stuff

The Sounds of Q-dance | 2012
youtube.comWe've made a special playlist on YouTube for all of you. It's made up of anthems and dj mixes from this year! Head over now, and dig in to the sound, that is Q-dance.
True DJs vs. Music Players
Today I come to present a very controversial subject, especially if you descend from the old school of DJs, from a time mixing music was a matter of true talent, accurate ears, agile fingers, knowledge of the music you had to play in advance and creativeness, to play with irregular tracks compared with the today's ones, most from vinyl then, hardware created, and with the true perception of difficulty to mix the more you return the decade, going back to the 90s, 80s and 70s.
The youth nowadays has a vast apparatus in terms of both hardware and software that practically allow almost anyone to be a "DJ", what the old could consider just Music Players, with no more need of accurate ears, agile fingers, previous knowledge of the tracks, with very well created tracks via software, with beats equally distant from each other throughout the whole track, thus requiring less talent. They do not need to synchronize beats with their ears and hands, software does that for them; they do not need to know if the tracks are appropriate to each other in advance, software can determine that for them; etc.
What are the parameters that should be used to classify someone as a real DJ?
What is the real DJ, someone with ability to mix music up or someone able to click Play in front of the crowd?
Should the assessment parameters be different, if any truly exist, when we consider DJs prior to the year 2000?
One of these days I have been presented to something that definitely led me to creating this topic, I came to know about the existence of the software Mixed In Key, this one: http://www.mixedinkey.com/
When I read this question at the bottom of the page "Are you ready to mix like David Guetta, Dubfire, Paul Oakenfold and many more?", I thought to myself "so is with this that David Guetta has become the #1 DJ in the world? This man is pure crap as a DJ therefore". I also thought that, if anyone can mix as the #1 DJ in the world, the scene is completely upside-down, coming to the conclusion that being a DJ today is a mere matter of opportunities to play, to be a Music Player.
Now another question that cannot be missed: what are the parameters that define the best DJs in the world, such as the DJ Mag's ones? I confess, I do not know DJ Mag's parameters, but I do hope those are based on technical skills. Does anyone know what it is about?
Today, can the status of #1 or best DJs be taken as synonymous with being famous? In other words, the more famous you are, the best DJ you become? How does DJ Mag and others classify the DJs in their lists?
Frankly speaking, if popular poll only is what defines the best DJs, I am sorry for all true and real DJs that do not occupy the first positions in the charts exclusively because they have no opportunities to show their jobs, to be famous, and be fairly judged and deemed real DJs, against possible Music Players that take the lead for being famous.
It is worth saying that some people do not know how to vote, they like the artists' music productions and vote for them as a great DJ, totally different abilities.
The more radical ones consider these guys as the real DJs:
DMC World 1991 DJ David (Germany):
DMC World 1996 DJ MC Jack (Brazil):
To some others, the real DJs are the ones that forget about software facilities and does a similar job as Ferry Corsten did here below.
Ferry Corsten live in Tokyo, 2002:
To some others, probably the most recent DJs that have come to the scene, it is acceptable to become super star #1 DJ in the world with pieces of software like Mixed In Key, able to determine also if the tracks are compatible with each other, with little intellectual work.
And the possibilities to play the DJ go beyond this, nowadays being possible to do the job with software such as VirtualDJ, iPods and even mobile phones.
Oh man, come on, is that too easy to become a DJ today? Or rather, can they really be considered Music Players and nothing else? Does being #1 in the world really mean being famous only?
If popularity is what makes a Music Player a real DJ, should Madonna wish to be a Music Player, she will become the greatest DJ of the world, much beyond Guetta…
I myself do not mix with CDs or LPs, I use a Torq Xponent Controller. Why do I do like this? It is simple, I do not have CDJs or possibilities to mix with vinyl, it is a matter of money to invest. Am I worried with that? Not at all, I have software facilities, but I do not use them, I do it manually, making my ear more and more accurate and manually dealing with the jog wheel to avoid beats-mismatch. Am I silly and should be doing differently, playing similarly to what David Guetta does?
What are the outcomes of all this scenario?
In my viewpoint, thanks to this reality wherein technology and opportunities to be famous transform Music Players into DJs, naturally, to the ignoramus one that believes being a DJ is to be waving his hand before the crowd after clicking the Play button, now we have truly talented artists hidden due to lack of opportunities to demonstrate their abilities, whereas the most unskillful ones can become the greatest DJs of the world if they are granted the chance to click Play. Furthermore, competitions between true DJs and the fake ones are too fierce today, it is a lot more difficult for the real professional to join the scene, have opportunities, and payment gets lower and lower because now you do not need to hire an artist who deserves a fairly good payment, a Music Player will do it. What is the fate of the true artist in this new world of Music Players?
Last but not least, should we forget about all this pride that made DJs true artists in the past? Should we embrace the new technology and cross the fingers to have opportunities to be famous, accepting any payment for our jobs?
If you are 20 years old or less, maybe the answer to the last question is straightforward to you, you probably do not have the background of a 30 year old guy like me, someone who attended a DJ course and had classes on Vinyl and CDJs with no software present.
Please, have your say and let us foster a great discussion, with different answers expected depending on age and perhaps nationality too.
Regards from Brazil!

Poll: What Should Open at the Bridgewater Commons Mall?
The mall is planning an expansion and more businesses.
Representatives from the Bridgewater Commons Mall recently spoke before the Bridgewater Township Council with a request for a change in the developer's agreement to allow for additional expansion.
Basically, the change will allow for Bloomingdale's to give up some of its rights for expansion, returning the space to the mall itself for future expansion.
The plan is to do this in three installments of 10,000 square feet each.
Mall representatives said a new restaurant will be coming in to the mall, but declined to say which one.
But we want to know what you think. What new restaurant would you like to see come to Bridgewater? Or would you rather see a new store open?
Take our poll and let us know what you are thinking, then tell us in the comments exactly what you want to see!

I recently shopped at JC Penney and was pleasantly surprised by the selections and prices. Since It's 17 miles to Quakerbridge, I would like a JCP here.
9:39 am on Monday, February 11, 2013
Bloomingdales replaced Sterns. If Bloomingdales isn't making enough money there than maybe the spot should go to a different level of shopper. Like J C Penny. But Pennys is in financial trouble right now due to some administration changes last year. Although their ad campaign might revive them. Considering that Bloomingdales is so high end, and that the Bridgewater location does not have as much selection as the Short Hills location, I think that a change in the level of department store in that location is what needs changing. Bridgewater already has a Lord and Taylor and a Macy's. Macy's owns Bloomingdales, if they would let go of their lease or are in default the mall might want to talk to something like Century 21 which has locations in Morristown and NYC. That would bring more shopping traffic to the mall and might actually help Macy's also, as C 21 does not always have everything. Anyway these are business decisions and should be handled by the businesses involved including the Landlord. This is NOT a decision for a planning board. The space is commercial and the free market makes the best decisions.

Trader Joes or a Whole Foods or a similar idea. no clothes, no more restaraunts

Seriously??? You know that this is a shopping mall and not a strip mall.

Asian Food Market like in North Plainfield or Piscataway or Hong Kong Supermarket like in East Brunswick.
10:38 am on Monday, February 11, 2013
I agree that an Asian supermarket would be nice, but I can't see putting one in the mall.
10:46 am on Monday, February 11, 2013
Hard to put a food store in the mall without immediate access to the parking lot with shopping carts. Strip malls seem to work better.

Nordstrom. BW Commons is very similar to Menlo Park & it works there as far as I know.
11:19 am on Monday, February 11, 2013
Trader Joe's but not the typical store that looks like an afterthought. If it is nice looking and the parking can be figured out fine-but no one wants to lug groceries all over the place. Century 21...NO...that place treats everyone as if they are criminals.
Mr. Had Enough
11:36 am on Monday, February 11, 2013
I love Bridgewater commons largely because it is not a Short Hills Mall and definitely not a Menlo or Freehold Mall. It's built its own little niche in the community and while the stores may mirror other malls, it remains a little more distinctive. I wouldn't want to see the lower end retailers as mentioned earlier like JCP, Sears, H&M, etc..., because then our mall will just be like everyone else and start losing its identity. The last thing we need is another coffee house or yogurt shop. Wouldn't mind seeing a place like The Capital Grill, Legal Seafoods, Fogo de Chao or something a little more unique than what you commonly find at malls like Menlo or Garden State Plaza. I also do not think the mall is an appropriate place for a Whole Foods or Trader Joes although, the adjacent properties on commons way or Rt 22 would be nice.

11:52 am on Monday, February 11, 2013
Exactly where do you think people are going to park???? That is the worse place for parking. The asphalt is not maintained especially under the parking garage. Lighting is terrible and it is one of the worst malls to get into and out of especially during holidays. I think towns ought to rethink any more commercial/retail space. Seems to me it's got to be a money maker, in some other inovative way, other than renting. Especially with more and more people going to the internet and shopping at their smaller local boutiques, i.e. Somerville, Westfield(assuming the parking doesn't kill those towns). Get the developers back to renovating our cities where we need them such as Plainfield and Elizabeth. Clean those up before you destroy more land and sprawl out anymore creating nothing but a maze.
R Velasquez
7:05 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
I agree. Should they expand the mall to allow for more stores and shopping space, then they should also put up additional parking spaces. I would prefer a covered multi-level parking garage similar to the one at Short Hills. I also hope that such multi-level garage will have more levels than the current three-level garage the mall has.

Marissa Jay

P.F. Changs. would be my vote.
Also, i would like to see some free or cheap fun for kids added to the mall. I recently went to visit me relatives who live outside of st. louis and they had a train rides, indoor play area, ice rink. . . etc. here is the link to that website. http://www.stlouisoutletmall.com/
Ed Horch
12:57 pm on Monday, February 11, 2013
I wish Macy's would expand. The one in Monmouth Mall is much larger than ours but only has slightly more inventory. Theirs is wide open and airy, and ours is as packed as a PATH station at rush hour.
4:37 pm on Monday, February 11, 2013
The last thing that mall needs is another attraction for kids....
11:08 am on Tuesday, February 12, 2013
Actually, I was thinking that if the kids (tweens and teens) had somewhere to be instead of just hanging out in the halls and bouncing around and tossing balls around in a furniture store while people are trying to shop, then that would be a good thing.
The kids are going to be at the mall no matter what, why not have some activity that would attract the majority of them and you can avoid it if you'd like.

Lisa C
2:26 pm on Monday, February 11, 2013
PF Chang is great restaurant option or I'd love to see a wine and small bites place open. Love to see Whole Foods come to town. We have the right demographics ! Should have been where DSW went in. If a new store is in the plan I agree with customer service oriented Nordstroms
3:03 pm on Monday, February 11, 2013
TRADERS JOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We NEED one close by!
Anthony M
5:01 pm on Monday, February 11, 2013
I think Sears would be a good addition to the mall. That or a restaurant that maybe hasn't made it's way to Jersey anywhere else yet?
5:14 pm on Monday, February 11, 2013
I heard there is a Dick's Sporting Goods coming to town but, if not, this would be my choice. We are stuck with the limited selection at Models or the overpriced stock at Effingers.
laura waitze Zuckerman
8:29 am on Tuesday, February 12, 2013
Lisa C, I agree with the space that was taken by DSW. I thought for sure that was going to be a whole foods or at least a big gym.
8:58 am on Tuesday, February 12, 2013
Bloomingdales should pack it in. The store is a ghost. Of course they are not going to expand. Tear it down and put in a Dodg'em car track-men hate shopping because everything at the mall is for women. When I go I stand around like a dip waiting for my spuse to finish. To go to the mall, I would rather pour a can of gasoline on me and light a match.
laura waitze Zuckerman
12:06 pm on Tuesday, February 12, 2013
You are funny! Why do you go to the mall if you don't like it?
11:28 am on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
I agree but reading the papers recently, it looks like book stores are another dying breed.
2:49 am on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
I vote for nordstrom. Or a great restaurant like Joe's American Grill, or paparazzi, or the like. Maybe a nyc style unique place with eclectic gourmet food. Something high end..let's keep it classy. We have the demographic. We should definitely open a trader joes or whole foods in area but not in mall. Maybe on circle? Or to replace that A&p that is closing down in pluckemin.
8:15 am on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
With the way things work, the A&P in Pluckemin will probably be replaced by a high end store, to compete with Kings. However, I think that the people living in the h\Hills and the older folks in Pluckemin Park need a quality, reasonably priced general market on the order of a small Acme or comething similar. I remember when the Somerset Shopping Center on the Circle featured both an Acme and a Grand Union. Great for competition, Now the area is left with Kings (overpriced) and Shop Rite Branchburg (too far for non driving folks) as well as Wegmans which is clear on the far end of Bridgewater.
10:48 am on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
I have never seen a supermarket in a Mall, and I don't think one would work.
Ed Horch
11:21 am on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
I've seen them in smaller communities, but they always had doors directly to the outside. In other countries I've seen grocery stores in malls that were just like other stores, opening to the inside. It looked very weird to me to see people pushing shopping carts through a mall.
But yeah, as much as I'd love a Trader Joe's or Whole Foods in Bridgewater, the mall is not the place for it. (They probably couldn't afford the rent anyway.)
The old A&P in Pluckemin is becoming a Fresh Market. http://www.thefreshmarket.com/stores/store_locationsDetail.aspx?StoreID=157
11:16 am on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
Laura- don't go to the mall because I want to. Because of the Second Ammendment, my spouse makes me go with her at gunpoint. If it wasn't for the free Japanese food samples on the top level and watching the kids scream when they meet Santa at Christmastime, the whole thing would be cause of a complaint of spousal abuse.
6:55 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
this is one of the most expensive malls I have ever been in. I think a store or two that is affordable would be the best thing I'd like to see. PF Changs? Isn't that extremely expensive? How about a more affordable restaurant? Somerset County is one of the most expensive places I've ever lived.
12:53 pm on Friday, February 15, 2013
PF Changs or Seasons 52. Trader Joe's should come to town, but it won't open in the mall. There are other empty locations in our area.
Bobby C.
4:49 pm on Friday, February 15, 2013
anyone recommending a supermarket needs to have their brain examined.
10:44 am on Saturday, February 16, 2013
We keep losing the good stores (ie Disney, Lindt) because the Mall has decided it wants to be more upscale like the Short Hills mall and keeps raising the rent to kick those types of stores out! I agree with some of the other comments - we don't want to be like the other malls! We need to keep some of the mid-range and fun stores to attract the middle class shopper too! We don't need a grocery store at the mall, but that old A&P in Manville would be a GREAT spot for a Whole Foods or Trader Joes! I say we remove Bloomindales which is just a waste of space and add either a great restaurant or split the space for a few smaller stores. Don't expand the mall anymore than it is. We've done enough building in B'wtr. I'd hate to become overly huge like the Garden State Plaza in Paramus - it's a NIGHTMARE to shop there! Way too big!
5:49 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
The lack of parking is reaching a critical point at key times. Time to stop building it out, this is not Paramus. My family likes the California Kitchen and Cheesecake Factory. We can go to the mall, shop, then have dinner. Another restaurant would be great if they can fit it in.
Gloria Ford

A place to buy CDs! Can't believe there are none there and FYE at the Circle left.
Susan M.
9:24 am on Sunday, February 17, 2013
I would love a middle end store. While I love my Nordstrom, I really miss the likes of Sterns, Korvettes and JM Fields. Is there some type of store that can fill this niche? I used to like shopping at Sterns because of all of its housewares. We don't need another Short Hills mall here and, anyway, that mall is not that far away!!
10:28 am on Sunday, February 17, 2013
Internet cafe with a TV area for those footballs watchers, and a play area for children
Angela Marchese
11:04 pm on Sunday, February 17, 2013
I vote for a restaurant like Seasons 52 or something like that. I heard they are putting a whole foods where A&P is in Pluckemin. Nordstrom would be ok.
joe jenkins
8:25 am on Wednesday, February 20, 2013
Bloomingdales is doing fine here...that space was set aside for a home store that they ultimately decided not to build. I think Nordstrom would be great, but they need more than 10,000 square feet to do it. I think something like Bobby's Burger Palace or PF Changs is more likely to be built along with smaller store offerings. A bookstore would be nice but I doubt it will happen. They don't have any other bookstore offering besides Barnes and Noble left.
10:57 am on Thursday, February 21, 2013
Do nothing until you fix the infrastructure of the roads getting in and out of there!!!
11:08 am on Thursday, February 21, 2013
Posting for my husband who says an ESPN Zone or Sports Bar is needed in the area and would be perfect at the mall.
Joe jenkins
1:52 pm on Thursday, February 21, 2013
A Seasons 52 is coming to the mall...a small plates restaurant
12:35 pm on Sunday, February 24, 2013
Five Minute Liposuction and Jiffy Lube Combo
Lou H
9:40 pm on Sunday, February 24, 2013
We need something to replace the old store that are currently vacant like the old Kmart on Rt 206. I would love to see a Hobby Lobby in that space. It would be prefect. They are a mixture of the old Rag Shop, Michaels, Home Goods (but more) and AC Moore. They do classes. Closest one is in S. Plainfield.

Yard Sale to Raise Money for Local's Kidney Transplant
By: Kristin Anderson
Updated: June 30, 2012
"I've actually cried a couple times. Cause it's really, it's nice to know that there's people out there that really do care, and really look out for us. And i mean, stuff like that, it's just really awesome to know that they're actually there. There are people out here who really do care, and they help," said Kimberly Hernandez.
There will be a bake sale fundraiser sometime next month to help Raymond raise $250,000 for his transplant.

It's a really small campus and I really liked the fact that even though it was smack dab in the middle of a big place like Greensboro, it feels like it is its own little island. The campus is gorgeous and there are lots of environmentally friendly buildings. There's lots of clubs to get involved in, everything from the Pagan Mysticism Club to Biohazard Ultimate Frisbee. Greensboro is also a really cool city and there's always something to do, if not in Greensboro, a little ways away in Winston-Salem, Durham, Asheville, Raleigh and Chapel Hill.

James Fenimore Cooper: The Deerslayer28. Chapter XXVIII. (continued)"That is straight! There is no turning in the talk of my pale-face friend, though he is a fox in running. I will speak to him; his ears are now open wider than before, and his eyes are not shut. The Sumach is poorer than ever. Once she had a brother and a husband. She had children, too. The time came and the husband started for the Happy Hunting Grounds, without saying farewell; he left her alone with his children. This he could not help, or he would not have done it; le Loup Cervier was a good husband. It was pleasant to see the venison, and wild ducks, and geese, and bear's meat, that hung in his lodge in winter. It is now gone; it will not keep in warm weather. Who shall bring it back again? Some thought the brother would not forget his sister, and that, next winter, he would see that the lodge should not be empty. We thought this; but the Panther yelled, and followed the husband on the path of death. They are now trying which shall first reach the Happy Hunting Grounds. Some think the Lynx can run fastest, and some think the Panther can jump the farthest. The Sumach thinks both will travel so fast and so far that neither will ever come back. Who shall feed her and her young? The man who told her husband and her brother to quit her lodge, that there might be room for him to come into it. He is a great hunter, and we know that the woman will never want." "Ay, Huron this is soon settled, accordin' to your notions, but it goes sorely ag'in the grain of a white man's feelin's. I've heard of men's saving their lives this-a-way, and I've know'd them that would prefar death to such a sort of captivity. For my part, I do not seek my end, nor do I seek matrimony." "The pale-face will think of this, while my people get ready for the council. He will be told what will happen. Let him remember how hard it is to lose a husband and a brother. Go; when we want him, the name of Deerslayer will be called." This is page 490 of 554. [Mark this Page] Mark any page to add this title to Your Bookshelf.

A Somali baby is given a polio vaccination before being given a pentavalent vaccine injection at a medical clinic in Mogadishu on April 24, 2013. Somali children under one year of age will now receive the pentavalent vaccine, a combination of five vaccines in one against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) - the bacteria that cause meningitis, pneumonia. The initiative was launched by the GAVI Alliance, UNICEF and WHO. Somalia has one of the lowest immunisation rates in the world. The launch coincides with World Immunization Week.

AWD 4dr Sport
Starting at $23,150 | Starting at 16 MPG City - 22 MPG Highway
Provided by NADAguides.com
The 2011 Mazda CX-9 is a seven passenger crossover vehicle available in three trim levels; Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring. A 273 hp producing 3.7-liter V6 comes standard with FWD and a 6-speed automatic transmission. Mazda also offers an active torque split AWD as an additional extra. Other available options include moonroof, power liftgate, hands-free audio/phone capability, and 7-inch color display navigation system. With the help of electronically controlled multiport fuel injection, the CX-9 gets an EPA estimated 17 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. This versatile crossover combines style with safety scoring 5-star front and side-impact crash-test ratings. Mazda offers an extended protection plan up to 10 years/100,000 miles.
Despite having room for seven and a slew of seating configurations, this large SUV has a sporty driving feel and a distinctive design. The standard safety features and available technology offer a compromise between minivan and sleek SUV.
The CX-9 got a thorough going-over last year, so very little has changed for 2011. All three trim levels from carry over to 2011, and each is available in both front-wheel or all-wheel drive.
The CX-9 Sport, Touring and Grand Touring all share a 3.7-liter V6 engine that makes 273 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque mated to a 6-speed sport automatic transmission with manual shift mode. Each trim can be had with front-wheel drive or Mazda's Active Torque-Split all-wheel drive.

If the Sandy Hook school tragedy, with the senseless murder of little children and their heroic educators, does not move us to end our gun-controlled, NRA-poisoned society by enacting real, effective, strict gun controls, then what can? If thousands of senseless murders on our streets and in our homes have not ended the insanity, maybe Sandy Hook finally can.
Now is the time to have this discussion ... not later, not years ago, not in years to come ... now. The NRA has drowned out discussion of gun violence and threatened and bribed our lawmakers for too long it is time to let the NRAs paid-for congressional representatives and senators know that we want this conversation now not later.
It is time for all compassionate, thoughtful, intelligent Americans to drown out the gun-crazed noise to redefine who we are. At this time of year, we should realize that no prince of peace would carry a gun or condone the insane proliferation of guns in our society.
As this tragedy unfolds, I am writing from Russia (where I teach Russian lawyers the legal precepts of our so-called civil society). The Russian people voice déjà vu to me, as they send their condolences to our country. In 2004 in Beslan, the Russian people experienced the senseless murder of 186 children among a total of 334 dead in a school hostage crisis. It doesnt matter if these murders are carried out by political terrorists (as in Beslan) or by a lone crazed gunman (as in Sandy Hook). The children and their valiant protectors are all dead.
We Americans must show the world that we are, in fact, the civil society that we boast about and preach to others. Right now, I am hard put for answers to questions about Why? such things happen in our civil society, which does not appear so civil right now.
Director of the Chester County Peace Movement
End recreational violence
On the surface, the seemingly endless string of gun-related tragedies suggests the need for additional gun control. While I firmly believe that this is the case, I am far more concerned about the insidious role that violence plays in our culture and in our day-to-day lives.
We celebrate violence as recreation. Incomprehensively, the sport of paintball rewards the literal shooting of others. Increasingly realistic video games reward gun-related violence and killing. TV, movies and books promote violence as a particularly effective problem-solving technique. Sports fans rail against attempts to reduce violence in hockey and football.
While we will again look to Congress to fix the problem, other shootings have shown that we can expect little more from them than heartfelt expressions of outrage and sympathy. A far more effective approach is for parents and caregivers to limit the impact of pervasive violence among their impressionable and malleable charges.

1. | origami | ||
Cool Japanese art where you fold a piece of paper a million times until it becomes a stegosaurus. Origami is fun.
origami images | |||
2. | origami | ||
The Japanese art of paperfolding, the name deriving from two Japanese words, "ori" meaning to fold, and "kami" meaning paper. Origami is intricate and delicate, amusing and entertaining, beautiful yet inexpensive, and made from one of man's most versatile creations. No wonder origami was revered by the ancient Japanese, adored by children around the world and throughout the ages, and is now regarded as a creative and sophisticated art form.
3. | Origami | ||
cool figures that are made of pieces of paper, they consist of a number of folds that at the end change the shape of the paper to represent something. doing good origami takes hours.
4. | Origami | ||
The Japanese art of paper-folding. To make more complex origami you will need to learn terms such as swivel fold, petal fold, prelinary base, etc. Today I folded Jewel's note like on Origami crane.
5. | origami | ||
The cabling in a high-end gaming computer, installed to be visually appealing and precise. The case will have a window on the side and be illuminated inside to display the fine craftsmanship. The power supply on my origami rig went out, and I spent several hours getting the cables on the new power supply looking just right.
6. | Origami | ||
Rolling a joint. Stemming from the original meaning of the word, "Origami," the art of paper folding. Used in the context of smoking marijuana, this usage of the word is most appropriate when clever variations of the standard joint are created, such as "The Cross Joint". Guy 1: Hey, dude, I'm sick of this job. All I want to do is go home and burn one down.
Guy 2: For sure. I can't wait to get home, bust out those papers, and do a little origami, myself. |

The Longboat Key Town Commission approved a settlement agreement at its Monday, May 4 regular meeting that allows Key property owner Peter Swain to build a home closer to the Gulf of Mexico.
Swain appealed a decision by the Zoning Board of Adjustment to deny him an amended variance in late 2007, which would have allowed him to build no closer than 68-feet landward of the Erosion Control Line at 2913 Gulf of Mexico Drive. Town code states that homes should not be built no closer than 150-feet from the Erosion Control Line, unless an undue hardship exists on the property.
While several properties on the Key are too small to comply with the town's requirement and are granted variances, the zoning board did not believe Swain had a hardship.
The commission, in a 4-3 vote, begrudgingly granted Swain a variance that 73-feet, six inches from the control line at the north lot line and 70-feet, two inches from the control line's southern lot line. The majority of the commission believed it was better to grant an amended variance than pursue the case and accrue further legal fees.

I´m personal a big fan of this type of music.So I wanted to ask:
What are your favourite female fronted symphonic metal bands?
Your favourite singer?
Why do you like this music style?
Your favourite symphonic metal albums?
I saw them when they toured Ashes. I wouldn't go see them now!
BETO said:
true, since the world of glass I haven't see them live
Psychoscot said:I Loved World Of Glass, and Ashes was a good album but after that I can't stand them! Even the first Evanescence album is better than the new material!
BETO said:Tristania died when Bibeke and Morten left.
Psychoscot said:You hate that new pop shit they are now producing too?
BETO said:old Tristania
About tristania: I think Widow´s Weeds was by far their best realease, after they always became worse. As Morten Veland left,the band died in my eyes, WoG was okay, but not really good.
Like WW or BtV?
as u can see all i can see is hate ..so go on together our history is turn in to hate till we die--fucked up dreams ..my family.
New Sirenia is far superior to the early stuff which was nothing more than Tristania cast off's! Morten has many side projects but Sirenia is still his main band! They are having far more success now than they did before!
I liked earlier Draconian to the more polished sound they have now!
Bloodflower said:
I personal like Draconian the most.
Or listen to Sirenia's first two alben, they are quiet good, or I think Morten Veland has now a new project called mortemia, sounds pretty cool too.

Tanks, troops and police pushed through the streets of two shantytowns in northern Rio de Janeiro Sunday in a move to retake control of some of the city's most crime-ridden areas.
In the predawn operation, state authorities targeted the slums, or favelas, of Jacarezinho and Manguinhos with more than 2,000 military troops and police. They have a larger long-term goal: securing 40 slums before the World Cup in 2014, and keeping them safe for the Olympics two years later.
Police said they seized automatic weapons, guns and grenades and arrested dozens of people in a series of slum raids over the weekend.
There were no reports of deaths or injuries Sunday. On Saturday, police said five suspected drug dealers were killed during a slum raid.
Police have already taken over about 30 favelas since they began operations in 2008, but it's an uphill battle. About one-fifth of Rio's residents live in the city's 1,000 shantytowns, many of them perched on steep hills overlooking beachside condominiums.
Jacarezinho and Manguinhos are smaller favelas, far from tourist hotspots, but they became centers for organized crime and drug dealing after other slums were taken over by police.
Sunday's operation there stands in stark contrast to the invasion of the Alemao favela in 2010, when more than 30 people were killed in shootouts.
Police now announce days in advance when they're going to go into a community, to avoid major violence.
But critics say it simply gives criminals a chance to escape to another slum, or the suburbs.
Authorities said they planned to set up a "police pacification unit" in Manguinhos by December, and in Jacarezinho by January.
