2012 Regional Outlook
Meaningful efforts:
Challenges and existing gaps:
2012 Assessment Breakdown
In the Middle East and North Africa there are 9.2 million child laborers. While some governments in the region aim to address the worst forms of child labor through their legal and policy frameworks, as well as data collection and dissemination efforts, economic and political instability and insecurity have affected the nature of child labor across the region.
In Iraq, the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and Yemen children continue to be directly engaged in armed conflict. Reports from Egypt and Tunisia suggest that due in large part to economic instability since the revolutions of 2011, there has been an increase in the number of children working on the street. In addition, street children in Egypt have been exploited as paid fighters during violent protests. In Jordan, Syrian refugee children work long hours in the informal economy in and around the refugee camps. Palestinian children in Lebanon are sometimes employed as guards at checkpoints within refugee camps. Continued instability may reduce the capacity of governments to address child labor issues within an environment of ongoing political transition and economic crisis. However, the full effects of instability and insecurity on child labor in the region are as yet unclear. Read More of the region summary
In 2012, countries in the region addressed child labor issues by strengthening their legal and policy frameworks. Bahrain ratified ILO Convention 138 and passed a new Labor Law, which increased the minimum age for work to 15 years. In the West Bank, the Palestinian Authority amended the Children's Law to include stiff penalties for child labor violations. The Government of Jordan approved its country's first national child labor strategy. In addition, the Government of Lebanon reconvened its National Steering Committee on Child Labor, which is coordinating government efforts to draft a National Action Plan and finalize a National Awareness Strategy to Combat the Worst Forms of Child Labor.
Some countries sought to reduce the child labor information gap. Both Egypt and Yemen increased the knowledge base by releasing results of national surveys on child labor. The Government of Jordan developed an automated web-based national child labor database. Morocco conducted research on children working in domestic service, a sector particularly troubling within its borders. However, in many countries, there is still a significant lack of information on child labor and on government efforts to combat it. For 7 of the 12 countries assessed in the region, there is a lack of data on the prevalence of the worst forms of child labor. This information deficit, along with the continued regional instability, impedes governments' ability to accurately target and effectively implement child labor elimination efforts, including intra-government coordination and enforcement of child labor laws.

3 Ways to save time with RSS
While you may have started tracking your favorite blogs via your favorite desktop or web RSS reader, here's three simple ways to spend less time getting more value out of your RSS feeds.
80/20 Your RSS Feeds. The 80/20 idea has been around for a while - 80% of your sales come from 20% of your customers, 80% of your leads come from 20% of marketing activities, etc. The same principle works for information - 80% of the value of all the RSS feeds you've accumulated comes from about 20% of the feeds.
Reorganize your feeds into two main folders or groups: the 20% which are really worth following, the rest that you might sporadically scan. Here's what it looked like in FeedDemon.
Shortcut your bookmarkets (Firefox). There's a poorly documented trick in Firefox that will save you several steps when you come across Blog you want to subscribe to. First, you need to be using Firefox (of course) and you need to be using a RSS service like say NewsGator that offers a bookmarket - a tiny Javascript program that looks like a bookmark.
In Firefox, change the Keyword in the Properties of the bookmarket to a short, easy to remember code (I use "rsn" for RSS into Newsgator).
When I get to a blog I want to subscribe to, I enter "rsn" in the Firefox Navigation Toolbar and the feed is pulled right into NewsGator where I can organize. Next time I start FeedDemon on PC, the feed is there. And you can group all your bookmarkets into a folder and move it off your Bookmarks Toolbar. Nice!
Track interests with a Google Blog Search RSS Feed. One nice feature of Google Blog Search is you can turn any search into an RSS feed. Just do the search (Limiting it to say today) , do the search, then Subscribe to your preferred RSS flavor. This is a great way of tracking ongoing interests, for example, Getting Things Done.

So mages can remove a curse in 1 gcd, paladins the same with what they can remove, priest have an ability to remove disease but it takes 2 gcd's and dropping form. That's like saying mages loose their mage armor for removing a curse. If they want to make disease removal more of a choice for spriest, and this seems mostly to be a pvp issue, just make it cost more in shadowform(it's normal cost plus the cost to recast shadowform, but it would still only cost 1 gcd). That would make it more of a choice, and it would cost more mana to remove multiple diseases, but that's where you'd have to decide if you are willing to drop form to remove many, or stay in form and use more mana.

Best retail seafood on the North Fork of LI?
- sgordon Aug 5, 2010 08:45 AM
Driving out to Orient from NYC, want to get some really good seafood (to cook) along the way - what are the best bets for retail for locally caught stuff?
Brauns is always a good bet, and they're right on the Main Rd, past the railroad trestle, so you can't miss it. Although they're a wholesaler, you'd never know by their prices though. There's another place in Greenport somewhere with a lady's name, I know it is well regarded but I've never been. Oh yeah, Alice's!
So, you are coming to my neck of the woods! In my opinion, you would do best with either Alice's (look for the small sign on Main Street, Greenport, that directs you to the store) or at the SoutholdFish Market, on the south Road between the town of Southold and the town of Greenport (located in the marina). You should call either one if you are seeking a particular item, to make sure they have it that day.
We have shopped at both Braun's and Alice's. In the past, Alice was more uncertain -- if you had an idea of a certain fish you wanted to cook for dinner, Braun's selection seemed to be more extensive. I don't know anything about the Southold Fish Market, but I will definitely check it out when we are there in a couple of weeks.
Southold Fish Market
61850 Route 25, Southold, NY 11971
re: roxlet
I've never been to Alice's, but I have been to Southold Fish market. Its very good, but I prefer Brauns. Everything is impeccably fresh, super high quality and good variety. (My only complaint about Braun's is their inexplicable absence of fresh squid...I guess it all goes into their take-out shop.) However, when the Peconic bay scallops come into season in November, I find that Braun's frequently sells out before Southold.
re: EricMM
We've only had scallops fresh from Brauns the one time we were there in November, but I will never forget them. They were unlike any other scallops I have ever had.
re: roxlet
I used to be a fan of Braun's but a recent visit turned me off. I asked about the swordfish and the young woman behind the counter replied that yes, it was good that day (A Sunday), as they had put it out ONLY a day before. Perhaps I am naive, but fish that had been put on sale the previous day does not strike me as being super-duper fresh. Am I wrong?
I then asked for halibut, and requested that the skin on the filet be left intact (I planned to grill). I was told that the halibut filets always had the skin taken off before they were put on sale. (Later the same day, I asked for the same--halibut filet with skin intact--at Alice's and was told "no problem.")
I just got the impression that Braun's pre-prepared a large variety of filets rather than cutting the fish to order, which I would prefer.
Please enlighten me here. Am I being too harsh?
re: erica
Maybe just a little bit harsh. First of all, most of the fish you find at any market will me older than that day...especially on a Sunday. A fish like swordfish will already be a few days old before it gets to the market. One of the things I like about Braun's is that they are honest. I have been told when fish/seafood hasn't been delivered that day. They will admit when product has arrived even days before. As for the halibut, I believe Braun's carries west coast halibut. This may already arrive without the skin, can't say for sure. Yes, Braun's does have most fillet's pre-prepared, as do most markets. If you look behind the counter, they have a listing of whole fish. You could always ask for one of those fish and have them filletted for you. Brauns tends to be very busy....if everything was fillet'd to order, things would back up...but also consider that something like a halibut may have individual fillets that weight 20 lbs. With the average customer buying a lb or less. Of course it will be prepared in advance. Also, the help at Braun's during the summer is mostly young teenager's. Sweet and well meaning....maybe not the most knowledgable. However, they always refer my questions about freshness to the boss. I have overall found Braun's to be much higher quality than all but the most expensive places in NYC....which they equal.
re: EricMM
Eric thank you for the explanation; it is very helpful. I will not take Braun's off my list; they are further from me than the other two I mentioned so I do not get there often, in any case. The clueless summer help is a turnoff, but I will follow your lead and ask the person in charge if I have any questions.. One thing I should mention is that Braun's has just about the best coleslaw I've ever bought...at a very fair price.
re: erica
Re the clueless summer staff -- we have a name for them -- the Babes of Braun's. And there used to be the Witches of Wickham's (I think they've since up graded their sales staff), the Babushkas of Briermier's and what used to be Shelly from Skelly's, which is now Welle's Marketplace, I think. But the Babes of Braun's are a summer perennial -- there is a new crop of young 'uns every year.
re: roxlet
That is funny! It will give me a better perspective when I next shop there!
On a related note: Has anyone had tilefish lately and if so, what do you think?
re: erica
I haven't had tile fish in years. As of now, the only places that seem to carry it regularly are the Asian markets in Elmhurst. Surprisingly, tilefish is one of the fish that is highest in mercury. While that doesn't scare me off of it, it doesn't make it a fish I would go out of my way to get.
re: EricMM
Interesting! My local market in NYC has it this week and I read a rave in the Bittman fish book...thanks so much for your help!
my vote is for Southold Fish Market.
Southold Fish Market
61850 Route 25, Southold, NY 11971
Thanks for all the advice - we went to Braun's on Friday and the Southold FIsh Market on Saturday. Braun's was a mixed bag - the shellfish (Littlenecks, Cherrystones, Cockles, Mussels) were all great - but the Striped Bass, while good quality, wasn't prepped very well. Was still quite scaly and took a bit of prep work at home.
Southold was fantastic, though. Can't recommend them enough.
Striped Bass
236 W Main St, Tarrytown, NY 10591
my sister and i checked out braun's last year but we were not impressed. this may sound crazy but nothing looked fresh. and i'm not particularly spoiled as we do not have the best local fish markets in our neighborhood in brooklyn. it sounds like i will have to give them another shot.
re: giftergirl
you're better off at Southold Fish Market just 10 minutes east.
Southold Fish Market
61850 Route 25, Southold, NY 11971
I am a regular shopper of both Brauns and the Southold Fish Market. I used to shop exclusively at Brauns and now I shop 75% at Southold. I agree with some posters who think that the Southold Fish Market is the better of the two, although Brauns has the larger selection of non-local fish. I have had problems with the execution of some special orders from Brauns, so I am careful when/how I use them. The Southold fish market has a huge base of local suppliers, many of whom deliver on Thursdays and you can watch them unload and see the catch hauled in. Charlie and wife have been very helpful in getting items of interest to me. And if you want to make fish stock, they know what you mean. That being said, I prefer Braun's prepared fish stock and seafood salad to those sold at Southold's - just personal preference: Braun's salad is shrimp and lobster, Southold's is shrimp, lobster and crab. I don't shop at Alice's. Had a bad experience with a server there who had a bad cold and it is too disgusting to describe. Couldn't complete the transaction and never went back.
Southold Fish Market
61850 Route 25, Southold, NY 11971
I prefer the Southold Seafood market over Braun's but they are both excellent. Braun's seems to be a more homogenized version of what I think a fish market should be. For some odd reason I can never seem to get whole fish at Braun's. Go figure?
But my all time favorite seafood market for variety and "essence" is Cor-J in Hampton bays.
re: Motosport
You have to ask for the whole fish. During the summer they will sometimes display a few whole fish in the center case, but usually you have to ask. They have a sign up on the right side of the wall behind the counter listing whole fish prices. My biggest gripe against Braun's is that they carry fresh squid so rarely. I think what they get goes directly to their prepared food take-out place.
re: EricMM
I'm guessing that the bulk of all their seafood goes to their wholesale business, maybe there's just not enough demand for squid in the retail end of things. I mean there's plenty of local squid out there if they wanted to feature it. I'm sure they'd take a special order if you asked.
re: EricMM
When I ask for whole fish I am told "we're out" Southold and Cor J always have whole fish on display on ice.
re: Motosport
Even Best Yet has lots of whole fish! I've bought a few items there purely out of convenience. I talk to the manager all the time and he used to work at Stuarts so he's pretty knowledgeable. If somethings not worth buying he will always tell me, and will point out what is local and fresh.
Since filets must sell way more than whole, maybe not worth being left with them at the end of the day, if you don't have the clientele. But if you don't see it at your store, you should at least mention it so they get a feeling of interest for it.
re: Fred19
Fred, thanks so much, it comes at a time that I really needed a boost and this did the trick. Guess that blows my Chowhound cover........but what the heck! My luck seems to be changing for the better and I'm looking forward to summer in the most beautiful area I know.

The Atlanta Braves are now 0-4 against the Mets after last night's 6-1 loss. Hanson pitched well but made three mistakes. An errant throw to first cost him one run. A hanging curveball cost him three, and a wild pitch scored the other.
The defining moment was the hanging curveball to Ike Davis who hasn't been hitting well. Hanson threw several breaking balls to Davis. Was he scare to throw a fastball? Anyway… the Braves offense was nowhere to be found again. Jason Heyward had two hits, but the rest of the team was lost at the plate.
The next two pitching match-ups don't look for the Braves. Hopefully, last night was just an off night for the offense.

The cleaning team from Adagio Window Cleaning keeps every part of residential windows spic-and-span—from the pane itself to peripheral components such as the screen and tracks. Their services can be commissioned for a one-time-only window cleaning, or a cleaning on an ongoing bi-weekly, monthly, or even bi-annual basis. Each cleaning can also include a free estimate before the service.
Letting a project manager at All American Design shoulder the burden of a home remodel can make the undertaking seem less daunting.

They even install solar panels so homes can generate their own energy.
A sleek white Ferrari purrs in the parking lot, and suddenly the opaque window rolls down to reveal Kim Kardashian behind the wheel, beaming with joy at her new custom-tinted windows. Fresh Window Tint's owner Junior Ayala smiles, knowing he has satisfied yet another customer. Since his father and uncle opened the first location in 1990, Junior has expanded their automotive empire to include three locations, each of which cares for clients personally with custom window tinting and other services.
Using only premium products with at least a 20-year history, which includes Llumar protective window tint, insured technicians wrap windowpanes to reduce heat, solar glare, and up to 99.9% of UV rays. They also protect cars' bodies with vinyl vehicle wrap or enhance headlights with 3M products.

Customers who live in the Santa Clarita/Valencia area may take advantage of Fresh Window Tint's pickup and drop-off service. Customers visiting from farther-flung locations can relax on the lounge's plush leather sofas, enjoy snacks and beverages, and watch TV while their cars are being armored against heat and the blinding glare reflected off glass-bottom airplanes.
The technicians at 5 Star Window Detailing are a versatile bunch. In addition to sliding their squeegees across virtually any size and shape of window, they also spare homeowners the effort of polishing mirrors, cleaning ceiling fans, and removing hard-water stains from bathtubs.

Hollywood couple Diane Lane and Josh Brolin divorcing after 8 years
Hollywood couple Diane Lane and Josh Brolin are divorcing after more than eight years, their representatives said on Thursday.
"I can confirm Diane Lane and Josh Brolin have decided to end their marriage," said Lane's spokeswoman, Kelly Bush.
A source close to the couple termed the split as "amicable" and said it was a mutual decision.
The divorce will be the second for both Lane and Brolin. They have no children together.
Lane, 48, who was Oscar-nominated for her role in the 2002 film "Unfaithful," and Brolin, 45, married in August 2004 after being introduced by Barbra Streisand, the actor's stepmother through her marriage to James Brolin.
Josh Brolin played a lead role in last summer's sci-fi comedy franchise "Men in Black 3″ and his most recent film appearance was the January release "Gangster Squad."

Man's body found in marshland near Carlisle
Last updated at 12:09, Friday, 01 February 2013
A man's body has been found in marshland near Carlisle.
Police are currently in the Rockcliffe area after a member of the public made the grim discovery this morning.
Although he has yet to be formally identified, the family of Robert Heaton, a man from the city who went missing in November, has been notified about the find.
A Cumbria police spokeswoman said: "The body was discovered in the area at 10.43am.
"Formal identification has not yet taken place, however the family of Robert Heaton are being supported by police officers until identification can be confirmed."
The coroner will be informed.
Mr Heaton, 41, of Belah, was last seen leaving his home on November 16.
A large-scale search operation was launched after his baseball cap and fishing rod were found on the banks of the River Eden near Etterby.
An RAF helicopter, Coastguard and mountain rescue volunteers were among those involved in a vast search which took in riverbanks and to the Solway coast.

Manties Advancement of the Day: If it's true that Magic Mike's Channing Tatum "has the bottom that most men desire," as the Daily Mail claims, then most of said men are going to need a little help making that fantasy a reality.
Enter D. Hedral, a new line of men's underwear out of Italy — three years in the making — that uses "angle fit" technology to help guys achieve the precise lift needed for desired fullness and shape in the derrière.

Does Brookfield have enough water?
Issue: A reader he heard that there is not enough water for the current Brookfield users.
Status: Tom Grisa, director of public works, said the city has enough water to serve all residents without needing additional sources. He said the water master plan originally estimated that the city will need more water than it actually does.
Grisa explained that there are a few reasons for the inaccurate report. First, when determining how much water would be needed, the report looked at water consumption in Brookfield from 1988 through 1998, he said. That time period included one of the worst draughts Brookfield has ever had so the water usage was extraordinary. Second, people are using less water now due to water efficient homes.

News Flash: A hotel for bookworms
31 comments :
And it's in Manhattan too! How wonderful, after a day (and night) out in town, to then relax for a little while with a book and enjoy the quiet.ReplyDelete
That would be awesome... as long as I liked the selection of books in my room. :)ReplyDelete
OH wow, I'm definitely keeping the link to this place! We're planning of maybe going next summer, that would be fantastic!ReplyDelete
Silly? Heavens no! Paradise is more like it...I bet they have a lot of repeat customers and long term stays! =0)ReplyDelete
This place sounds incredible! Thanks for bringing it to my attention, Juju! Great find!ReplyDelete
I am SOOOO staying here on my next trip to NYC! This is totally my kind of hotel!ReplyDelete
Ohh, nope, haven't heard of this one. AND, uh, please. If that was my room, I wouldn't step out of it to go to the bathroom. (disturbing thought, but those rooms look so cozy and adorable!)ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing! :)
Love it! I'd stay there for sure. So cozy, but it might keep me from seeing more of New York tho!ReplyDelete
Brilliant! And what a way to get people to come for extended stays. You're not going to want to leave until you've finished whatever book you happened to have picked up...clever, clever.ReplyDelete
Wow, I'd love to stay at this place!ReplyDelete
Why didn't they just call it HEAVEN?! I wouldn't be doing much sleeping there though, I'm sure--I'd be up reading and enjoying myself all night :] What a great thing to have in such a busy city--a place to sit in calm and relax.ReplyDelete
I've never heard of this hotel, but that's AWESOME!! Hopefully the books in the room were good.ReplyDelete
I want to stay there- what a great idea !Thanks for posting!ReplyDelete
I have never heard of this hotel, but I have always wanted to sleep in a library so it looks great!ReplyDelete
I actually had heard of it before. One of the bloggers that I follow stayed there earlier in the year and she took pictures galore:ReplyDelete
Here's her link if you're interested:
I want to go there BAD!! Had I known I would've stayed there when to NY earlier in the year. :D
Oh well, there's always next year.
I love the idea. It is so cute. But speaking as a librarian, I kinda wouldn't want to sleep in a library. Library = work. Home with lots of books = paradise!ReplyDelete
what a cool idea, I'd love to stay!ReplyDelete
Wow, never heard of it before but it sounds like heaven on earth, lol!ReplyDelete
I read this when you first posted it, but didn't have a chance to comment. Can I just tell you how much I am in LOVE with this place?! I visited the link and became a fan on FB. So gorgeous! Thanks for posting! :)ReplyDelete
Ha! It sounds lovely. I want to wallow (yes, I just said wallow in a Romance room...ReplyDelete
Definitely a bookworm paradise! I want to go there. It sounds like the ultimate vacation spot for readers. LOL.ReplyDelete
Oh, I want to stay there--how fun!ReplyDelete
Um, I think that looks INCREDIBLE -- in fact, I'm pretty sure they'd have to force me out! I'd just grab a suitcase and a stack of my own novels and camp out there permanently!ReplyDelete
I would totally want to visit this. It's not silly; it's heaven! (for a bookworm, that is.) This is now one of the places I would looove to visit someday, and maybe stay for a few nights :DReplyDelete
I've always wanted to go to NYC and now I have another reason to visit. :DReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing, Juju!
Never heard of this place. What a fantastic idea! I want to go now!ReplyDelete
By the way, if/when you or anyone else goes, I want pictures!ReplyDelete
I've heard of this place and always wanted to stay there! Trouble is, I'd never leave the hotel...ReplyDelete
I've never heard of this but I LOVE it! :)ReplyDelete
I think this is a flippin' good idea!! Do they have a UK branch?!?ReplyDelete
Cherry: I don't think so. But they so should! ;)ReplyDelete

Home > Archives for supra
Last year the Supra team broke out their passports and made the journey to Asia. Watch Stevie Williams, Erik Ellington, Lizard King, Neen Williams, Kevin Romar, Boo Johnson, Keelan Dadd, Spencer Hamilton, and Bjorn Johnston in an overseas adventure.
Supra has another collaborative kick dropping this week, a limited edition Society designed by LA artist Retna. The shoe is designed with Retna's signature hieroglyph style and pays homage to his El Salvadorian, Cherokee, Spaniard, Pipil, and African-American heritage. Check out some more looks after the jump and hit Factory 413 on Saturday to get a pair.
2012 was an amazing year for the Supra brand. A year that included epic photo shoots in London, tours of Australia, Europe, the East Coast, Asia and the release of Erik Ellington's fifth signature shoe and Stevie Williams first. Peep a look back at what unfolded and get ready for more in 2013.
You have to give it to Supra. In just six years they have achieved a brand presence and status that is rarely realized over a lifetime of a brand. So why not celebrate their success with a book. Supra Book is the full compendium of everything the brand has done since inception including collabos, celeb relations, exclusive releases, and of course skateboarding. Definitely dope for a last minute holiday pick up. See an extensive preview after the jump.
If you are a fan of this site, you should be well acquainted with the work of trail blazing footwear site Sneaker Freaker. As a continued testament to their hard work comes their second collab with Supra. The "Blue Balls" Owen is named such because its, well, blue. Check out some looks after the jump.
Supra and Mtn Dew celebrated the release of Boo Johnson's collab Amigo shoe at the Supra store in NYC. We got a chance to swing by and kick it with Boo and Keelan right before they raffled off a pair of the kicks. Peep the jump for a look at the packed shop.
Supra would be stoops to not maximize the fluck out of their relationship with Lil Wayne so it's no surprise that they had him design a pair of Stevie Williams' S1W's. It's also not surprise that he made them red. Check out Weezy in full regalia after the jump.
Supra brought Mike Miller to NYC for the second part of their three city tour with the photographer behind many of hip hop's most iconic photos. While there he linked with Tim Brodhagen to talk about why he's never pursued fame for himself, his favorite images, and what it was like working with the late, great Tupac Shakur.
Supra has created two shoes with new styles designed by Prodigy of Mobb Deep. The first is a grey suede camouflage and black ballistic nylon flip on the Backwood and the second is a canvas camouflage take on Tom Penny's signature shoe, the Bandit. Hit the jump for a closer look at both.
Next up in Supra's Pro + Am Collection is Boo Johnson flip on the color way of Lizard King's signature Passion shoe. The desert boot-inspired mid top upper is made of a unique, hairy green suede, with a green canvas flap, fluorescent orange accents, padded fluorescent orange mesh lining, and it's built on a gum vulcanized sole with white foxing and an orange pinstripe. Watch the edit above an hit the jump to peep the shoe.

Deforestation and the Real Exchange Rate
AbstractDeforestation is a phenomenon that has largely been concentrated in the developing world. We construct a theoretical model of deforestation that focuses on the factors affecting the incentives to transform forested land into agricultural land. We show that: (i) lower discount rates and stronger institutions decrease deforestation; (ii) depreciations in the real exchange rate increase deforestation in developing countries whereas the opposite obtains in developed countries; (iii) paradoxically, better institutions may exacerbate the deleterious impact of depreciations in developing countries. These hypotheses are tested on an annual sample of 101 countries over the 1961-1988 period, and are not rejected by the data. Our results suggest that short-term macroeconomic policy, institutional factors, and the interaction between the two, are potentially important determinants of environmental outcomes.

Quick Facts
There are no 2001 Dodge Intrepid reviews. However, the following might be helpful:
User Reviews
The community thinks...
Dodge is getting better by Matt on 07/01/2003. Trim: 2001 Dodge Intrepid SE, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: 1)Handling 2)Smooth Ride 3)Ergonomics 4)Lots of Room 5)Overall Reliability 6)Good Climate Control 7)Rattle Free
Cons: 1)Acceleration (2.7 L) 2)Cheap power window regulators (Window has tendency to come off track) 3)Gas mileage not that great for 2.7L 4)Depreciation is terrible. Don't buy new. I bought a 2001 SE from my employer for $5400 which was way below loan value. They depreciate about 40% per year. If you buy new, prepare to be upside down from day one, even with 20% down. 4)The eerie feeling that sometime this thing has to break down because it's a Dodge...but maybe not...83500 miles so far, no major problems!
Overall review: I bought mine way below loan value and was planning to resell it and make money. However, I was impressed so much with it's ride/comfort that I decided to keep it a while and see how it does. I usually buy foreign but have been rather impressed with the handling of this vehicle. I love the interior as it blows away foreign cars in space and ergonomics.

- Great little outfit - pulses will race
- Pros: Lots of Fun, Fits Well, Sexy, Cute
- Best Uses: Just For Fun
- Bottom Line: This is a very sexy little nurses outfit that fit very well owing to the stretchy material rather than similar starchy alternatives. If wearing out it's very short - it's probably more for home entertainment than the office party unless you are very daring!! Cute accessories - impressed with quality - would recommend

- Sure hot enough!
- Pros: Lots of Fun, Unique
- Cons: Irregular Fit
- Best Uses: Erotic purposes, Costume Party, Trick Or Treating
- Bottom Line: The costume was - as the title says - hot enough! In the end it turned out to be too hot for my girlfriend to wear for the party, but that we really couldn't know beforehand. Otherwise, the fabric is a bit translucent, so for the shy people id recommened to wear at least a T-shirt underneath. The syringes and the stethoscope are great, they have been a lot of fun! Overall, this costume gears towards obscene, so it may not be suitable for everyone.

Cemetery tree-tapping takes sour turn in Epping
Someone posted a sign to protest the tapping of a tree at a small family cemetery on Prescott Road in Epping. (JASON SCHREIBER PHOTO)
Someone tacked a fake tombstone to the tree with a skull, crossbones, and the message, "No Cemetary Syrup," followed by the words, "You Sap."
"I didn't think it was upsetting anyone. Nobody has even said a word to me," said McGeough, who has 270 buckets attached to trees to collect sap on properties along Prescott Road - two are on the cemetery maple.
McGeough, a Prescott Road resident who is also a selectman, didn't notice the sign until Thursday afternoon when he was gathering sap to make syrup at his sugar house.
No one seems to know who was behind the sign, but McGeough said he planned to leave the buckets and the sign alone. McGeough began tapping the tree in the small Prescott Road Cemetery on Carr Hill about 10 years ago when the property surrounding it was owned by Ray Hetnar, who operated an apple orchard for many years before the land was sold and homes were built. He claims the tree isn't actually in the cemetery, but it appears to sit right at the edge near Prescott Road.
"It's a very good producer," he said of the tree.
Town Administrator Gregory Dodge said he hasn't heard any complaints about the tapping.
Jerry Langdon, chairman of Epping's cemetery trustees, said he sees nothing wrong with tapping a tree in the cemetery, which has fewer than a dozen gravestones.
"It's definitely not an issue with us," he said. "I doubt very much that there are living descendants that do anything with that cemetery."
Robyn Pearl of Loudon, publicist for the New Hampshire Maple Producers Association, said she's never heard of any problems related to tapping trees in a cemetery and is unaware of any laws prohibiting tapping in cemeteries.
She said there shouldn't be an issue as long as maple producers get permission from the landowner.
"I'm sorry that someone is making a big thing out of it," Pearl said. "It's always a very exciting time of year for all of us."
As curator of the Epping Historical Society and a longtime Epping resident, Joy True is familiar with many of the old family cemeteries in town and said she doesn't see a problem with it either.
"Jim is very respectful, so he's not going to do anything disrespectful to a cemetery," she said.
Jeff Snow, superintendent of Edgewood Cemetery in Nashua and secretary/treasurer for the New Hampshire Cemetery Association, said the issue hasn't come up at the cemetery he oversees. However, if someone asked to tap a tree there, he said he would probably say no.
"Everybody has different thoughts about cemeteries. Some people feel it's a place for the living, with open space, and people should be enjoying it, but I've had some people who don't think people should be bicycling or walking in a cemetery," he said.

Now that I am older, I sometimes experience Acid Reflux at night, so thought a wedge pillow would be a good choice for using to fall asleep. This particular wedge pillow was a GREAT choice. The height was perfect, the width is perfect and I have actually awakened a few times, in the morning, still on the wedge and my regular pillow. I'm a side sleeper, so you know it has to be comfy to sleep on my side on wedge. The firmness is just right for me too. I have a sleep number bed with a a 2" memory foam topper, so thought the memory foam would be good for the wedge. Love it!
I bought this wedge because the reviews said it was perfect, and I have to agree. It's firm, but not too firm, so it raises my upper body while providing enough cushioning for a good night's sleep. My previous wedge pillow was too firm and hurt my bones. I use this wedge along with my regular pillow, and I can even sleep comfortably on my side. I couldn't be happier. I could sleep on this wedge for the rest of my life!
Great for sleep apnea and acid reflux, however it retains heat which does not feel that good, but it helps with neck pain.
I have only used this pillow twice since receiving it, but already know it is the answer to some back discomfort I have which has prevented me from getting a good night's sleep for some time. Everyone is different so what helps me may not help someone else, but I have no complaints whatsoever. I could stay in bed all day based on how comfortable this pillow is and am now having the most comfortable sleep. This pillow was my last attempt before breaking down to buy a firmer mattress, but now I will not be doing that. This pillow is fantabulous!!!
Pillow provides comfort whether sleeping, reading or watching TV. Foam is dense and doesn't show any sign of flattening out, even though I've been using it for a month or so.
This is perfect for you legs. It can be pulled all the way into your bottom, resting and elevating your legs and it stays in place. When used to keep you propped up, you'll need pillows to support your upper back, head/neck but this wedge will keep everything right where you put it until you move it.
Great product and excellent value. This wedge provides an incline with super support.
I suffer from sinus congestion and arthritis in my neck. Piles of pillows would shift at night and I would get little relief and intermittent sleep. This pillow made a dramatic difference for me! I use a shaped pillow with neck support on top of it. The angle of the wedge is just right. My sinus problems are greatly relieved and I wake up without neck pain. Am sleeping soundly and comfortably. This pillow is also good for reading. I wish I had purchased it years ago!
This is my 2nd wedge pillow.. the first one I purchased was at Bed, Bath & Beyond... it was cheaper but only ok as it was as firm. With Acid Reflex you need a firmer wedge pillow.. it's excellent and I highly recommend it for Acid Reflex or just to prop up to watch TV or read.

Nichols cleverly combines the first-person narrative of chick lit, complete with the anxious inner monologue of a post-traumatic-stressed female, with third-person narrative and a murder mystery that rivals any good thriller. Details of an odd occupation and an unlikely physical chemistry are fascinating and move the story forward nicely while effectively growing the main character. A promiscuous male character, uptight government officials and a crooked wealthy family enhance the humor and entertainment value.
A recent accident victim, Brigid Ashbury is now afraid of cars. But when a rich CEO's daughter is found dead in her submerged car, the FBI summons her personally for her work as an accident reconstructionist. Her interest is piqued. She begins unraveling clues and getting close to the truth, which lands her in life-or-death situations. The investigation comes down to the wire, and Brigid desperately hopes she can back away from the sleuthing and concentrate on doing her "thing" before it's too late.

Tmobile LTE coverage
I read that LTE signals aren't everywhere yet, and atleast here in California the list said it was only available in San Jose.
I was in orange ca this afternoon and there was one spot that I was getting an LTE signal. I don't think it was a fluke because it stayed on up until I went to a different area. Although the speed I was getting was only 2 Mbps. While I used to get atleast 5 Mbps in that area.
Does anybody have an updated list of places where LTE signal is available?
*i tried posting a screen shot but it wouldn't let me

my co-workers in san jose were getting 40mbs downloads. but as soon as they left sj, there signal dropped off to 4g.
T-Mobile has officially launched its 4G LTE network today with service in Baltimore, Houston, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Jose, and Washington DC. The carrier expects to deliver LTE to 100 million people by the middle of 2013 doubling that to 200 million customers nationwide by year's end. Customers will be able to use the new faster service with the carrier's new rate plans, which initially went live this past weekend.

It Has Channels, and It's Not Mars
Spring Integration in Action - Part 3
Telling everyone who needs to know that a booking occurred
Up until this point, we have been looking at scenarios where a number of services are invoked in sequence with the output of one service becoming the input of the next service in the sequence. This works well when the result of a service invocation only needs to be consumed once; however, it is common that more than one consumer may be interested in receiving certain messages. In our current version of the channel configuration, bookings that have been successfully billed and have been recorded by the seat availability service pass directly into a queue for email confirmation. In reality, this information would be of interest to a number of services within our application and systems within the enterprise such as Customer Relationship Management systems, which track customer purchases to better target promotions, as well as finance systems monitoring the financial health of the enterprise as a whole.
In order to allow the delivery of the same message to more than one consumer, we will introduce a publish/subscribe channel after the availability check. The publish/subscribe channel provides one-to-many semantics rather than one-to-one semantics provided by most channel implementations. This can be particularly useful when we want the flexibility to easily add consumers to the configuration. If the name of the publish/subscribe channel is known, that is all that is required for the configuration of additional consumers, with no changes to the core application configuration.
The publish/subscribe channel does not in itself support queuing, although it does support asynchronous operation. This can be done by providing a task executor, which is then used to deliver messages to each of the subscribers in separate threads. This may, however, still block the main thread sending the message on the channel where the task executor is configured to use the caller thread or block the caller thread where the underlying thread pool is exhausted.
In order to ensure that a backlog in sending email confirmations does not block either the sender thread or the entire thread pool for the task executor, we can connect the new pub/sub channel to the existing email confirmation queue by means of a bridge. The bridge is an EIP pattern that supports the connection of two channels. So, this will allow the pub/sub channel to deliver to the queue and then have the thread return immediately.
Now that we have made it possible to connect one producer with multiple consumers by the means of a publish/subscribe channel, let's get to the last challenge and emerge victoriously with our drastically improved application: what if "first come, first served" isn't always right?
Some customers are more equal than others
In order to ensure that the airline's direct customers have the best possible user experience, we said we wanted to prioritise the processing of their requests to allow us to render the response as quickly as possible. Using a comparator that prioritises direct customers over indirect, we can modify the first channel to be a priority queue. This will cause the framework to instantiate an instance of PriorityChannel, which creates a queue that is able to prioritise the order in which the messages are received. In this case, we are providing an instance of class implementing Comparator<Message<?>>.
What you just saw is an example of applying different types of channels for solving the different requirements with which the application has challenged us. We started with the defaults and, as we worked through the example, we replaced several channel definitions with the ones that are most suitable for each particular situation encountered. What's most important is that every type of channel has its own justification, and what may be recommendable in one particular use case may not be something you want to use somewhere else. We illustrated the decision process with the criteria that we find the most relevant in every case.

After 40 years in business on the South Fork, indie bookstore chain BookHampton is coming to the North Fork.
The bookstore, with locations in Southampton Village, Sag Harbor, and East Hampton Village, will be moving into the Andrew Gildersleeve Octagonal Building, the building at the corner of Love Lane and Route 25 in Mattituck listed in the National Historic Register.
BookHampton co-owner Charline Spektor said on Friday that she and husband Jeremy Nussbaum have been scouting the North Fork for roughly five years for the right location and timing.
The shuttering of Borders in Riverhead last July opened up a door in a market she sees as ripe for bookselling, an industry she said is doing "better than people tend to think it is."
"We've been watching to see what has been developing," she said. "And that absolutely leveled the playing field ... The North Fork is underserved and Mattituck is right in the middle of it. And Love Lane is unbelievably enchanting."
The bookstore wasn't the first business this week to announce that it's moving to the quaint Mattituck hamlet center. A Roanoke Vineyards representative said on Tuesday that the vineyard plans on opening a satellite tasting room at 165 Love Ln., the former site of Model Nails, which moved to Jamesport in December.
BookHampton will step into the site that formerly housed Verizon Wireless, Patty B's, and a dentist office.
Spektor said she considered moving to Riverhead - and didn't rule out the possibility in the future - though she said a neighborhood that is more established was more what she was looking for.
The Mattituck store - which will also fall under the "BookHampton" name despite its geographical location - is expected to open Easter weekend, Spektor said. Three of its booksellers will move from the Southampton Village location while renovations take place at the Southampton store through the month of March.
The last time BookHampton expanded was roughly a decade ago, Spektor said, when it opened a shop in Sag Harbor. She said that the Southampton store would not be closing.
Editor's note: The author's wife is an employee of BookHampton.

In June 1886 Mt Tarawera spectacularly erupted, and this documentary tells the story of the people who were caught in the catastrophic events. Around 120 people lost their lives, and the internationally famous Pink and White Terraces were destroyed. The documentary features an animated re-creation of the eruption, archival images, interviews with descendants of those involved, and readings from written eyewitness accounts. The author of the book Tarawera, Ron Keam, is also interviewed.
Please keep your comments relevant to this title. Email addresses are never displayed, but they are required to confirm your comments.
I would like some information please, on the incident when Tuhoto Ariki was struck by Te wharekaniwha and the subsequent curse that followed.
David Taylor retired teacher. Was this man the Rangatira of the tu Horangi tribe?
Hopefully yours.
Great New Zealand film, classic! I love the part where they talk about the eruption!
I really enjoyed this documentary, there is enough material here to make a blockbuster disaster movie, Peter Jackson and Weta workshops could do the job.
I've long been fascinated by geology, probably because Pennsylvania has none beyond coal and shale gas. I've owned Professor Keam's book for years and was thrilled to see him interviewed in the documentary and the actual book brought to life on film.
Beautifully shot, edited, written and narrated. Outstanding animation. Bravo!

I don't think these cats are Siamese (I dunno, one might be. I'm not good at cats) but this song was stuck in my head the whole (mercifully short) time it took to make this cushion.
This was one of my Grammie's favourite tshirts, and my aunt kept it after Grammie died in December. She asked my mother if she could turn this and another shirt into cushions for her. Mum's sewing machine doesn't work anymore, so I took them. This shirt had been hacked up a bit and there was no way to make a large cushion with it, so I made an oddly sized little rectangular cushion with it.
The piping was a bitch, but I wanted something on the edges rather than having just a boring rectangle, and I happened to have the piping in my stash anyway. Apart from the hassle with the piping, this was quick and easy. It only took about an hour, and most of that time was taken up fighting the piping.
The hole in the side seam has been left unsewn in the photos, because I'll be mailing it unstuffed to the US. My aunt will have to stuff it and sew up the last bit of seam.

How can we get our daughter to give up some of her many, many toys?
My 4-year-old has too many toys! I've tried to get her to give away her old ones, but she literally walks away sobbing. In the past, she caught me throwing away some of her 'treasures,' and now she checks the trash every day -- she won't even let me throw away the box a toy came in. How can we convince her to let go of some of her things?

I would be very careful about throwing or giving away toys without her consent. My father did that constantly with toys he assumed I was no longer playing with. Much of the time he was wrong and it broke my heart to have lost a favorite toy. This caused me real problems later in life when I became overly attached to everything and never wanted to get rid of anything. It has taken me a long time to overcome that problem. Rewards for choosing to get rid of toys on her own will always be better. Eventually, it might even give her a sense of pride in her ability to clean and organize on her own. Of course, not letting her get any new toys until she has gotten rid of some old ones will also help. If she is truly happpy with all of her old toys, then she doesn't need new ones. That might make her start to rethink the value of her old toys.posted 11/02/2007 by briewings
I sneak non-important toys out of my son's room when he isn't around. He is a sensitive child and wants to keep everything--he would get teary-eyed listening to the baby music his crib pull-toy made. I just get rid of happy meal toys and things I never see him touch. I don't see a reason to hurry this or push the issue. I still remember climbing into the back of our '78 Bronco trying to "save" some favorite toys that my mom was giving away. I still miss my "camel with the baggy knees". Sure, I have more clutter than I'd rather have, but they are only young for a short time.posted 09/28/2007 by kim(my)
We had the same problem with my daughter who is now 6. About three years ago, we started asking her to fill a tote with the toys she must keep. The rest go to a charity resale shop. We NEVER give away anything without her knowledge, and she loves the idea of helping to provide toys to other children. Also, we've had garage sales where she gets to keep the money from the sale of her toys in order to purchase something new. We've found that focusing on a particular toy several weeks in advance helps her to purge more.posted 09/06/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
As a teacher, I would ask you to consider donating used but readable books to your school's library or your favorite teacher. Also, since most states don't allow teachers to reward students with food of any kind, small toys (like the kind for pinatas, happy meals, and birthday grab bags) are appreciated donations that can be added to a "treasure box" I always give the students who donate toys or books special acknowledgement by using them as an example of good character for others or by writing their name in the book as the person who donated to the library. THat really makes kids feel special.posted 08/28/2007 by venusekt
Everyone's answers have been great. We have issues with this with our 4 and 3 year old girls as well. I will try some of these myself. I agree with the psych major though, that the attachment to the boxes the toys came in seems a little over the top. I would talk to her pediatrician for suggestions as well. If she has an unnatural attachment to items, even the great suggestions others have posted may not work, and may cause her even more more stress and pain, which you don't want.posted 08/21/2007 by SrtaMaestra
We had the same issue with our 4 yr old. My friend suggested letting her choose which toys go away to make room for new stuff. We donate stuff in general often, so I think that helps. We also give her the option of "selling" stuff at the consignment store and she gets the money - this has been great since it helps her better understand the value of money and a budget. She recently asked to sell her ponies that she never really played with (she got several for her birthday) and she used some of the money to buy a princess doll. We now have an empty bin, and she is proud she bought her own toy! Heather :)posted 08/20/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I love the idea of donating toys, but sometimes that is not reasonable to find an organization to take them. We take some and put them away for a "rainy day suprise"posted 02/06/2007 by greg31
What I have learned to do is when my 31/2 year old twins get new toys I sneak away some toys they haven't been playing with and then either put them aside to rotate back in to their toys in 4-6 months or put them in a box to give a way or save for someone younger--S and T's Momposted 09/03/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I give my kids a choice - they can help me choose what to get rid of - or they can let me choose. Keeping everything is not a choice. You are the adult - you are the one that needs to teach her that it's not okay to keep every single solitary thing that comes your way. Not only is it unrealistic, cluttered and indulgent, it's just selfish. No child in there right mind will willingly give up a thing just because you "ask". Give them a choice you can live with. Either they help and learn to be unselfish citizens or they simply don't get anything else - ever. That's reality isn't it? Adults do the same thing and you should take the initiative with your daughter.posted 06/30/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
You've gotten some great suggestions, but if those don't work, you could be a bit more deceptive - sneak in when she's not around and go through her toys - pull some you don't think she'll miss and store out of sight. If some time goes by and she doesn't ask for them, she's forgotten them and you can donate them. If she does ask for one, suggest you both look for it and you can sneak it out of the box and find it. Or you can just suggest it got lost and see how she takes it. I agree it's probably pretty traumatic to find her toys in the trash - my kids are usually okay with getting rid of stuff but for broken stuff or stuff with lost parts I still stash it at the bottom of the trash where they can't see it, or if it's a toy in decent shape we donate it. I also put my foot down about keeping McDonalds happy meal boxes "But it's a house for my Tow Mater!" because their rooms are just too full of junk. We have a separate bin just for Happy Meal toys (once the featured movie comes on video my kids love the toys - in this case they already saw Cars and love to play with them - they still have toys from Finding Nemo, Lilo and Stitch, Monster's Inc. and The Incredibles that they play with.) I throw out the ones from movies they haven't seen or didn't care for. Good luck!posted 06/30/2006 by candiliam

Dance music didn't have its own category at the Grammys until 2003, and now the little genre that could appears to have been fully embraced by the Recording Academy. The 2012 Grammy Awards will include "a special segment spotlighting dance/electornica music for the first time ever." The lineup for this special performance?: Deadmau5, David Guetta, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne and the Foo Fighters. Wait, what?
Bing: Grammy dance music nominees
During the awards show, the five artists will perform in a tent outside the Staples Center in front of a crowd of 1,000. Grammy show producer Ken Ehrlich describes the performance as the "most ambitious number that we've ever done outside the Staples Center."
He continues: "My feeling about dance is it's such an immersive experience for the participant, that to put it on stage ... where the audience is not a part of it ... I don't know, honestly, until we came up with the idea of doing it this way, I don't know if it ever would have worked."

As PopDust points out, the Foo Fighters aren't so random when you consider that Deadmau5 remixed their song "Rope," and Breezy and Weezy's involvement comes from their guest appearances on Guetta's "I Can Only Imagine."
But if the point of this performance is to spotlight dance/electro music, why not exclusively feature dance artists, or at least highlight more than two? Show some love for the other dance nominees, which include Robyn, Duck Sauce, Cut/Copy, Swedish House Mafia and Skrillex — who is also a Best New Artist nominee, as well as the inspiration behind a whole new trendy hairstyle.
