We stayed here for a week because of its location. It is the closest campground to the beach in this area of NJ. Having said that, we will probably not stay here again. It is just not designed for a 30' motorhome.
We knew going in there were no hookups, but access to the dump station required contortionist maneuvers. Originally, we were going to use the campground showers and bathrooms, but they were just awful. It was incredibly difficult to get level. This campground is better for small rvs, tents, and pop ups. - Full-Time-RVer
Apr 2017 - $25.00
In over 2 years of full timing all over the US where we stay primarily in state parks this is hands down the worst we have been in. It's too bad since there are very few state parks in NJ that will allow RVs over 25' but that was the least of our problems. Add $5/day/pet and $17.50 "service charge" for a campground with no hook ups, no water available (see below) and an unacceptable women's showers. Registration is at a site 3/4 mile BEYOND the entrance to the campground in an area that cannot accommodate large rigs (we are 33' and could not have) The site we reserved (#4) was supposedly big enough for a 33' rig-it was 33'6" long-rutted and sloped, dirt, sand and small branches as a surface; and 11' 9" wide (between trees that would not allow extension of an awning) We were able to change though the site was still sloped-end to end and side to side. First attempt to get water from the pedal operated spigot was unsuccessful. The water spews from the pedal area but not the spigot. 2nd attempt at a further spigot-water still comes from pedal area but also from spigot UNTIL a hose is connected. Then it spews from the pedal area and every other opening on the apparatus-up, down and out, EXCEPT the spigot. The third spigot next to the bathhouse has no water at all. A call to the office brings the "full time maintenance man" within 15 min who proceeds in the face of a pump (#2) apparatus taped from bottom to top, to say "it needs to be fixed." To be fair, he was very nice and took us to the maintenance garage where we were able to fill our tank. The trip to the showers the next morning was as disappointing. 3 showers-2 had only cold and of those 1 no pressure since the shower head. The handicapped shower had warm water for about 10 seconds of the 15 sec push button allotment but ended with lukewarm with water spraying from both upper and lower heads and no control. I don't like to write bad reviews but we could not recommend this place at all. - edc1951

Not sure how this park got such good reviews unless it was for location and/or activities. $25/night (for non-NJ residents) and a $5 reservation fee and no hookups. I have to wonder what they're doing with the money, because it's certainly not campground improvements. The bathrooms are clean but in dire need of updating. Broken shower heads, no shelving in sink area, scratched mirrors, etc. Even though they say bears are active in the area, the dumpster lid was broken in half (perhaps the result of the bears?). I only saw staff in the campground twice (and that was probably for cleaning). Noise from the interstate is audible but bearable. I probably wouldn't stay here again. - MSSW

*Military and DoD Civilian only* This is a military campground and is open to active military, National Guard, Reserves, and DoD civilians. It's a small campground with 9 spots. The spots all seemed to be level. They do not have any pull-through sites, but the sites are plenty big to accommodate a larger RV. The campground is also very close to the beach that is also a part of the base, and is within walking distance. The bath house is fairly modern and was clean, though we were the only family here that weekend. There is also a playground next to the bathhouse. There's an inlet behind the campground where you can go crabbing or fishing. It's also worth checking out the small National Guard History museum while here as well, as it's free. We will be staying here again. - grim509

Site sloped down from the rear to the front so entry stairs very high. Sewer cap behind the pad at the middle of the pad. Rear tires at the end of the pad. Thirty feet from sewer compartment uphill to a 7" pipe, not a 5". Unusable. Obviously never looked at an RV or talked with anyone. Envelope at gate says drop envelope at Bld C39. No map. Our site was on a poorly marked and gravel road. Been to numerous bases and camps. This is the first I would never return to. - Navychop

Nice park. Large concrete pads with (mostly) elbow room between the sites. Nicely mowed and manicured lawn. Blazing fast Wifi. It is quiet with some shady, some sunny sites. The base's location is very close to catching train or ferry for NYC and the Jersey Shore. The Jersey Shore came as a very pleasant surprise to me as it was new, clean, active with parallel boardwalks and pavilions. Gorgeous homes across the street. A real pleasure to go see. The base is small and the NEX isn't much more than a 7-11, but it is well kept and security is tight. There are a couple of things I would warn you about. When you first drive in to the base you will see a very strange entrance. Go left and make the big loop around to the big building. Yes, you'll drive in to the building to get ID'd. They will check the ID's of everyone in the vehicle. That's the first warning. The second warning is this. You'll be instructed to turn right on T-1 and if your assigned sight is 9 through 15 to make the first right off of T-1 into the park. Do not turn on that first right unless you're only 10' long. Go about 75 feet further, turn right then 75 feet and you'll see a gravel pass through to sites 9 through 15 that is actually wide enough. That first right is only about 10' wide with curbs on both side and a fire hydrant on the corner. You'll see what I mean when you get there. The sewer hook ups are at the back/wrong side of the sites. No bid deal, just have a long sewer hose. We enjoyed the park and the area. - jomark

We stayed here for two weeks, including over Labor Day, and were pleasantly surprised by the experience. Upon arrival at the gate, we were given a welcome packet with our site number and information on where the office is to check in after setting up. When you arrive, you will pull in through a large building which is the ID check. Stay in the right lane, since the left is for commercial deliveries. The sites are long and paved and very easy to back into, but the connections are not placed in the best spots. The power pedestal is located at the back of the pad, and was a stretch for the length of our cable, so check your power cable before you park. The sewer connection is the worst I've ever seen, it is located in the middle of the pad right under where our axels were. I had to crawl under the axels to connect the sewer, and had to remove part of the piping from the plug because it was sticking up four inches high. That aside, everything else was great.
It was quiet and you have enough room to not be on top of your neighbors. Although we did have an issue with one neighbor who had guests over and blocked our parking access, so I had to go ask them to move, even though they were sitting outside and watched us pull up and still did nothing until I asked. The utilities worked well, no cable TV, but over the air channels were fine and wifi is standard Navy GoWifi. The laundry room has three washers and dryers and all worked well. It was perfectly located to visit our family and be able to catch the train to NYC. There is no commissary or exchange on base, but a Super Walmart is about 10 minutes away, and I recommend visiting Delicious Orchards just up 34 for great baked goods, fruits, vegetables and deli meat. The base is small, but we still had plenty of areas to walk our dogs without worrying about traffic.
Aside from the connection locations, it is a very nice campground and we would definitely return. - pfogleboch

We stayed in Pine Cone because we had to be in NJ & it was the closest to our family. This place should not be able to call itself a resort. Dirt & sand roads & sites, potholes & puddles all over to get around. Trees & shrubs not trimmed to accommodate a 45' bus. Tight turns to get to site with trees in the way. Scraped the awning of the bus on one of the trees. Getting out of the site was no picnic either. I had to hold back tree branches so that my husband could make a wide turn to get out. Most people in the "resort" live there permanently with sites that look exactly like that. Site was small with a tree close to door, no room to move around. Site was not long enough or wide enough. They should not tell you that they can fit a 45' bus, if they can't. We had to stay for 18 days & we could not wait to leave. It was $350/wk. We have stayed for an entire month in other campgrounds for what we paid for 18 days here. Never again unless they do some major work there. We stayed off season so the pool was already closed for the winter. Camp store was satisfactory, nothing special. Tennis court look old & not maintained. We did not use the showers or laundry. - Denise58

Grouchy personnel, small lots, overflowing dumpsters, nickel and dime you at every step, trees encroaching RV paths, pine sap covers your RV by the time you leave. I only stay here because I have to. Cable TV sucks, Internet virtually unusable, you pay extra if you have a washer/dryer, you cannot use sewer totes for non-sewer sites, you must use their honey wagon for a fee. - VagabondLove

Park is very sandy and uneven. Do not go after a rain storm. My problem is that during the night, my electricity went off. Went to the front office and called the emergency number five times with no answer. I then knocked on a campers door who was familiar with the park and he showed me a breaker box that had possible "tripped". It worked but where was the help from the front office. Spoke to the front office the next day and it was like no big deal to them. She says she was at the gym and didn't receive any calls. Stay away from this place. - Troy650

Very nice and shady. Sites are not laid out very well. If you have an odd # site you have to ignore the one way signs or you'll have hook ups on wrong side. Some sites are very tight. All are pull through, but not typical pull through. The sites are parallel to roadway so your back is to the road and your front has a large area for fire ring and picnic table. Site was dirt/ grass but level. As others have said bring lots of hose. Rangers are super nice. Easy checkin. They sell firewood at check in. No cable. No wifi. But we got a few stations over antennae. Great kayak lake. Walmart etc less than 5 miles. Shower house needs a good scrubbing. - Jan Orlando
Jul 2019 - $40.00
Great county park with all pull through sites. We were in D-6 in our pop-up (W/E) (would be fine for up to a 30 foot travel trailer) a short walk to the restrooms, playground, laundry and showers. Bathroom and showers were in working condition and the area is air conditioned. Our site had lots of room with a nice fire ring and table. Great hiking trails and a short walk to the day use area that has areas to sit around the lake. The rangers patrol the campground and were always at the check in station. Other sites we liked were D 4,6,8,12 and C 2,4,5,7. Like others have mentioned, bring 100' of hose to reach the spigots. - bug512

My husband and I have been staying here for over a month, before we get on the road. We are newbies, in the midst of renting out our home and getting ready to retire. We have found our stay here to be very pleasant and conveniently located in central NJ. Our site is clean and neat, maybe a bit close to our neighbor, and found some dead branches over us that need to be trimmed, but other than that we really do not have any complaints. The management is quite excellent and responsive. This is a good, safe family place, with lots of summer activities for families. There is a decent laundromat available here. Lots of nearby shopping and there is a Laundromat in town, if you wish to save some $ on laundry. - J Muench

This was a nice resort, but we didn't use the facilities. They have 2 pools, bocce ball, basketball, mini golf, activities in the summer. We were there on a rainy week. Being all sand, it made for a mess walking the dog. I will say we got in and out with our 40' rig, but it was very difficult. There is an escort to help and he was very helpful. Lots of trees, no satellite, they had cable, we had fhu 50 amp, unhooked by office, verizon signal on and off, wifi available. Appreciated the recycle bin. The traffic noise is there if you are parked in back. Our spot was quiet. Spots were roomy, but felt crowded as they were every which way and no sense of privacy at all. - dorcol

Wooded park but road noise is evident. Jet traffic into and out of McGuire. A lot of rules (walk dogs only on your site, can't use your washer/dryer, no pitbull or pitbull mixes), seemingly ignored and not enforced. A lot of seasonal sites. Narrow roads, tight turns. Ok for an overnight.
Follow the web site directions rather than the GPS. Roads leading to the campground are good. - jplante4

We stayed at this park during the 4th of July. It is a run down trailer park more than an RV.Their are small children running around all day unsupervised with a lake and is very noisy all day and night. While we were there there was a car chase involving two drunks and one of them drove his truck into the lake. Cable did not work, water lines were full of air, bathrooms and showers were filthy, laundry room always flooded and machines not working.The worst was the geese every morning and the tons of crap they left at your campsite. We would not return if it was free. Would not recommend. - scb

We drove through this camp ground. Lots of full time campers with some very old campers. The grounds were not kept up at all. Nice lake. Pot holes in the driveway area that you could lose a small car in. Talked to some locals and they said to stay away due to plenty of drugs and convicts. - Jodee

The sites are large and wide, with sandy soil and lots of trees. We didn't use the restrooms or laundry but I did investigate and they were spotless. Pool was closed as it was end of season.

This park is 90% old annual trailers, many in need of repair and cleaning. The roads are barely passable with parked cars and dumpsters. The pull through site that we were given was too small and difficult to maneuver the 5th wheel so that the slide outs wouldn't hit multiple untrimmed trees. In order to fit on the site the sewer was between the wheels. The sites were only 30 amps and even tho they advertised cable they had no boxes to make it work. The WiFi would not access the internet. We will not ever stay here again. We used Passport America and received 50% off the above $$ - LindaRee515
Sep 2018 - $23.00
The site was long & level enough so we did not have to unhook our TT. The Wifi worked well & we appreciated the $23/nite Passport America. But the park is more a trailer park with permanent, very old, unkempt trailers filling most spots. Old furniture, mattresses, heaps of rubbish & debris at many sites. Sewer hookups were open. We did not feel safe. We hooked up the electric & stayed inside for the night. We had difficulty getting out in the morning due to cars, boats, & work vehicles parked in the roadways. We would not return. - R&S
Aug 2018 - $30.00
$60 / night ($30 w/ Passport America) for w/e/s/I/c. We generally don't use campground amenities so price is a big factor of where we choose to stay. I don't care if there are older units on site since I understand everybody has different financial resources. However, I don't understand the extreme reviews for this campground -- either 5 star or 1 star. This campground is mostly permanent residents in older trailers. No problem with that! However, the sites are very cluttered and not at all attractive. During quiet hours there were some dogs barking and some noisy residents but nothing extreme. The individual who greeted us in the office was very nice, escorted us to our site and helped us get parked. Very generous Passport American policy (any days up to 14 nights). - Teddi2

When California State University, East Bay demolishes its seismically unsafe Warren Hall this summer on its Hayward campus, the landmark building's implosion will produce energy similar to a small earthquake that can be used to study and map the nearby Hayward Fault. In cooperation with the university, the U.S. Geological Survey will observe and record the mid-August implosion on hundreds of seismographs temporarily set out in a roughly one-mile radius from Warren Hall.
The data gathered will help characterize the underground geology around the Hayward Fault in three dimensions.
Warren Hall's demolition can yield information to characterize very localized effects of shaking during an earthquake, and so will help prepare the community for future earthquakes. The section of the Hayward Fault that runs near the university has the highest probability of generating the next significant earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The East Bay Seismic Experiment, a joint enterprise of USGS, CSUEB and other researchers, takes advantage of this unprecedented opportunity to monitor the ground response (identifying which areas will shake more than others) to a small, simulated earthquake in the Hayward Fault zone. Planned studies include a combined seismic reflection and refraction survey: by measuring the differences in seismic wave amplitudes and velocities of the energy generated by Warren Hall's collapse as it travels through the geological layers of the East Bay, researchers can infer information about these layers that can't easily be learned any other way. They hope to learn the depth of the Hayward Fault near CSUEB, whether it joins with any other faults, and, if so, how this affects the seismic hazard of the area.
A small, known source of energy (as from the building collapse) will also be a rare opportunity for the USGS to calibrate its permanent seismic network in the Bay Area.
In addition to deploying seismometers before the demolition, USGS scientists hope to place tilt sensors in Warren Hall's debris immediately after the implosion in search of clues to how similar structures settle after natural or human-caused disasters. This work has applications for search-and-rescue agencies, which can benefit from any possible warning of a structure's imminent collapse.
Throughout July, USGS scientists and volunteers will be in Hayward-area neighborhoods, surveying locations to place the seismic instruments that will record the implosion. Actual deployment of the instruments will be during the week of Aug. 12, 2013. The USGS field crew will be wearing USGS identification and will be traveling in vehicles with clearly visible USGS logo placards.
The detailed understanding of the ground response can contribute to improved building codes and other mitigation options for a more resilient community. Hundreds of residents and property owners in selected locations in and around the City of Hayward are helping with this effort to minimize future loss of life and property that could result from an earthquake on the Hayward Fault.

I had the pleasure of attending the event, as well as a media preview earlier in the day, which was hosted at Sydney's Powerhouse Museum. James and Oliver, along with creative wizards Eddie Newquist and Robin Stapley, shared a number of interesting facts about the exhibition.
Notably, they spoke about the logistics of bringing such a large exhibition to Australia and some of the more recent props and costumes on show for the first time.
Here are some of the most interesting facts that were shared.
- It took 23 shipping containers and 40 days to bring Harry Potter: The Exhibition to Sydney.
- At one point, James and Oliver had to have their wands shipped back to Leavesden Studios for 'Deathly Hallows' filming.
- There's a mark on one of the Bludgers where it was dropped on set.
- There's authentic James and Oliver Phelps graffiti carvings on the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall.
- There are new props and costumes on show for the first time in Sydney, including the Hallows and Horcruxes (photos below).
- Bellatrix's costume is a new edition to the Sydney display (photo below).
Harry Potter: The Exhibition runs through until 18 March 2012 at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney. Tickets are now on sale.

Destroying a field trial of genetically modified rice in the Philippines may be the anti-GM crowd's undoing. Plant scientists, academics and other crop biotechnology supporters all over the world have condemned the attack, which took place Aug. 8 in a field of Golden Rice.
Golden Rice is genetically altered to produce vitamin A and is considered a humanitarian outlet for crop biotechnology to help underdeveloped countries fight vitamin A deficiency.
After many spoke out against the destruction of the field, Channapatna Prakash of Tuskegee University in Alabama, started an online petition to show lawmakers and policy makers the importance of continuing plant research into genetically modified crops. He aims to collect 5,000 signatures. As of Aug. 18, he had collected 3,000 signatures already.
In addition, Prakash also submitted an open letter stressing the need for biotech research and condemned the recent attack.
"Research on Golden Rice is a critical resource in fighting the devastating consequences of widespread vitamin A deficiency in developing nations, he wrote.
"Not a single one of the many claims of negative health or environmental effects uniquely made against GM crops has withstood scientific scrutiny.
"It is an unconscionable criminal act to destroy a field trial conducted in accordance to international safety norms.
People signing the petition included a University of Canberra toxicology expert, former anti-GM activist Mark Lynas, a University of Georgia crop science professor, and others. In an article in New Scientist, even Greenpeace described the Golden Rice vandalism as "stupid.
Although Greenpeace's Philippines based program manager said not enough safety testing was don on any GM crops, she did condemn the activists who destroyed the Golden Rice.
The problem with groups and individuals who destroy research plots is that it shows their unwillingness to let science gain the answers we all want about these GM crops. Simply destroying crops leaves no recourse. The data that could be collected is gone. All of the time and care scientists spent developing the trials and caring for the plants and the research that was done to develop the Golden Rice is dismissed by the actions of a few people when they choose to destroy field trials.
In the end all us are failed by the actions of a few. If science didn't test hypotheses and gather evidence, we wouldn't be able to enjoy many of the advantages we take for granted in the First World, such as antibiotics, clean water, abundant food, and telecommunications, etc.
But it seems with this recent attack, the world's scientists, academics and biotech supporters are shouting, "enough! It's good to see these folks doing something to gain awareness for research and to show that destroying crops is criminal. Open dialogue is much more important with biotechnology now more than ever. Let's not shut down the discussion.

The clout of District 1-1A Division I football takes center stage Friday afternoon in Dick Bivins Stadium.
Although the third round of the high school playoffs has arrived in Class 1A Division I, this 4 p.m. regional game is a repeat of a District 1-1A Division I meeting Oct. 12 between Stratford and Panhandle.
Eventual district champion Stratford (10-1) won that meeting, 44-14, over eventual third-place (and home team) Panhandle (8-4).
Stratford coach Eddie Metcalf and Panhandle coach Ricky Peacock said six weeks ago in football terms is an eternity.
"What happened six weeks ago is six weeks ago and has nothing to do this one," Metcalf said. "The only thing we said to our players about that game is forget it. You have two totally different teams at this point in time. Panhandle is playing well and doing so many things right. That's a really good football team."
"Playing this time of year you always feel you have gotten better," Peacock said. "I think we have. Our confidence is our biggest improvement. I know Stratford is better, too. Eddie and those guys do a great job and they are going to get after you. We are looking forward to Friday getting here."
Stratford and Panhandle each have been battled-tested during the playoffs in handling pressure situations.
Panhandle opened eyes in bidistrict, upsetting New Deal, 27-26, when Seth Wood hauled in a 5-yard pass with one second to play from quarterback Tyler Hall.
Panhandle used that momentum in the area round to start fast in handing Seymour a
33-16 defeat.
Stratford earned a bye in bidistrict, advancing to this game by beating Anson, 21-16, in area last weekend. Rendon intercepted a pass in the end zone to preserve the win.
Panhandle will test Stratford behind Hall's passing talents. Hall has thrown for 3,166 yards and 35 touchdowns and takes care of the ball, with only five interceptions.
Hall spreads the ball around, with five receivers owning at least 19 catches, led by Travis hammer's 59 receptions for 1,232 yards and 18 touchdowns.
"We have to control the ball," Metcalf said. "When you play a high-powered offense like Panhandle with that great quarterback you got to keep the ball away from them because they are going to make plays."
Panhandle will have to improve in the trenches if it wants to avoid a repeat of the earlier outcome, Peacock said.
Stratford has rushed for 3,556 yards and have a trio of backs with more than 600 yards rushing. Leading the way for the Elks is Alex Cavoya with 1,289 yards, followed by Kelby Hartman (912) and Colten Renden (604).
"It's pretty obvious what we need to do, and that's play better up front," Peacock said. "I've been fortunate, or unfortunate, to coach against Stratford several times the last few years. They are going to be physical up front and try to keep the football away from you and control the clock. We have to do some things defensively to get some stops."
The season will stop for one District 1-1A. Division I team with the outcome of this third-round game.
"We knew all along our district was pretty good," Metcalf said. "This game proves that point."
Said Peacock: "We feel fortunate to be where we are at this point. And we are proud, like Stratford I'm sure, to be at this point representing our district."


text: Wow. I've been out of town a couple days and its been interesting reading, catching up on everyones "opinions". I would have to say my favorite album is Phantoms. I'm blown away by how many people are mentioning Elemental. I guess I need to listen to that one more. Walkabout has been in my CD player a lot lately. I like the harder edge that some of the songs on there have, and also love the hidden track.

I was wondering is it posible to change the Type of a HashMap?
Becasue lets say I have used an Api (Apache POI) to create a HashMap.
Map<Cell, XSSFCell> mapFile1 = new LinkedHashMap<Cell, XSSFCell>();
But later on in the program I work with a lot of strings, and I would like to be able to look a string up in the HashMap.
Is there a way to make the same HashMap:
Map<String, String> mapFile1 = new LinkedHashMap<String, String>();

A 13-year-old girl's quick thinking and bravery helped nab three teenagers who police say broke into her San Jose home.
The girl, who NBC Bay Area is not identifying to protect her safety, was home alone last week when she heard a ringing door bell, followed by pounding at the door.
"I go to the peep hole to check who it is, and it doesn't look like regular people I'd see at the door," she said.
U.S. & World
The girl, who didn't answer the door, said the teen boys at the door looked like they were up to no good. "I had a bad feeling in my stomach," she said.
The girl then rushed to her bedroom to call her father and told him she felt someone was breaking into the home. The teen then locked herself in the bathroom — hiding in the tub so the burglars wouldn't see her feet under the door — and called 911.
The burglars eventually got into the house, leaving behind a trail of broken glass and a busted sliding door, and the girl did what she could to keep quiet until her father and police arrived. She texted her dad instructing him not to call her out of fear that they would hear the ringing and discover her hiding spot.
Police sent about 10 patrol cars to the house and were able to catch all three suspects.
"For me, it was amazing," the girl's father said. "I told her the same day I was really proud of what she did."

Responsible sourcing
As a global company with manufacturing and sales operations across the world, we are reliant on many of our suppliers to ensure timely delivery to our customers. Our suppliers are the "extended operation" from our very own production facilities and infrastructure, and we therefore, expect the same high level of commitment from our suppliers; above all, in the area of code of conduct and environmental commitment.
To effectuate the communication of our requirement and expectation upon our suppliers, we issued the SKF Code of Conduct for Suppliers and sub-contractors, where a clear reference to this code is made in the SKF General Conditions of Purchase.
From words to actions
- All new suppliers are required to sign and thereby formally agreed to adopting the SKF Code of Conduct for Suppliers and Sub-contractors, the SKF Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) Policy as well as the Zero Defects concept as conformance and performance standard;
- All new suppliers of direct materials must be approved via on on-site audit, where compliance to the EHS requirements and the Code of Conduct for Suppliers and Sub-contractors are audited;
- All major suppliers are required to issues a code of conduct in line with SKF's and be certified according to ISO 14001 management system;
- All energy intensive major suppliers are required to report on energy use carbon emissions;
- All major suppliers are audited regularly (at least once every three years) where compliance to EHS and Code of Conduct requirements are part of the audit scope;
- A risk assessment tool is used to help identify high-risk non-major suppliers, based on their relativity in aspect such as geographical locations, number of employees, risk exposure in terms of environment, health and safety, as well as human and labour rights violations. Identified high-risk suppliers are subsequently subject to additional auditing by SKF
A Responsible Sourcing Committee was established in 2009 to define strategy and determine appropriate actions when critical deviations are identified at suppliers. A responsible sourcing system was also introduced in 2009 and further developed in 2010, to enhance the process of enforcing the Code of Conduct.
With more than 10,000 suppliers located across the world, we regard responsible sourcing as a journey than a destination. Only by working step by step, continuously improving our existing processes, we can make steady progress in sharing with our suppliers our commitment to a sustainable and responsible business growth and development.
The SKF Code of Conduct for Suppliers and Sub-contractors is the foundation of SKF's responsible sourcing programme. Read more about this on SKF Supplier Portal.

In 1924 Sergei Diaghilev, founder of the Ballets Russes, produced Le Train Bleu, "a ballet combining acrobatics, satire of the period, and pantomime." (Chanel and Her World, Edmounde Charles -Roux, p. 206) His ballets were avant-garde and he imbued his productions with the works of other avant-garde artists of the time including Pablo Picasso, Igor Stravinsky, Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Léon Bakst, Giorgio de' Chirico, Jean Cocteau, Joan Miró, and Coco Chanel. (Diaghilev and the lasting style of the Ballets Russes, Kate Salter, Telegraph)
Coco Chanel created the costumes for Le Train Bleu, a ballet that brought together tennis players, golf champions and sun bathers searching for adventure. Diaghilev's direction for the costumes, as given by Cocteau stated: "Instead of trying to remain this side of the ridiculous in life, to com to terms with it, I would push beyond. What am I looking for? To be truer than true." (Chanel and Her World, Edmounde Charles -Roux, p. 215) Chanel in fact had made a name for herself for shunning the traditional dress of the early twentieth century, which she felt was too costumey. Rather than designing costumes for Le Train Bleu, Chanel dressed the dancers in actual sports clothes from her collection. She didn't attempt to veil reality, but instead, brought it to life.
Chanel's creationst for the Ballets Russes' Le Train Bleu can be viewed now at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London in Diaghilev and the Golden Age of the Ballets Russes, an exhibit featuring the costumes of the Ballet. I wish I could see this collection for myself. The costumes show wear and tear from repeated used in performances and don't have much life in them. (Diaghilev and the lasting style of the Ballets Russes, Kate Salter, Telegraph) If you are, or will be, in London, this is a definite must see!

**LOL i couldnt remember the word clay instead of gel and forgot to add it to my title**
I have shorter hair and like to spike it up. It takes more than a gel and more like a clay to keep it up. I started out using American Crew Fiber like everyone else and then switched over to Layrite Cement recently. I like the way the Layrite holds, the price, and how easily it washes out (never had a clay that wasnt easy but have heard that). The only thing i dont love is that at the very end of the day (night) it is kinda greasy. Anyone have any recomendations of things to try? Or do you like the Layrite and i should just stick with it?
This shot is a little from the side, but i like to spike the middle and keep it relatively short all around.

|Place all ingredients in the blender and whirl until smooth. Refrigerate one hour. Serve as is or with a topping of Granola. Variation: Add a ripe banana or other fruit. Yield: About 2 cups.
Note: The amount of dry ingredients may vary slightly because of the different consistencies of different brands of silken tofu and the amount of maple syrup you use. Silken tofu has a smoother, less beany taste than regular tofu. It works well in desserts, smoothies and other recipes calling for a sweeter taste. Look for it on shelves as well as in the refrigerated section, since there is one brand (Mori-Nu) that need not be refrigerated until after it is opened.

Hope sophomore outside hitter Jenna Grasmeyer (Hudsonville, Mich./Unity Christian HS) has been named the Sports Imports/American Volleyball Coaches Association Division III National Player of the Week. She earlier was named the MIAA Position Player of the Week.
Hope had a tremendous week going a perfect 5-0 with wins over two AVCA nationally ranked teams. Grasmeyer started the week off on a tremendous note by tallying 21 kills (tied school record for kills in a three-set match), hitting at a .704 clip over Kalamazoo, but after that match she went on to record four consecutive double-doubles. After sweeping Wisconsin Lutheran and No. 17 UW-Whitewater, she tied a school record for kills in a five-set match with 28 over No. 9 Elmhurst, adding another 13 digs. Hope then took care of Dominican, giving Grasmeyer 4.6 kills and 2.9 digs per set while hitting .314 for the entire week.
Earlier in the week, Grasmeyer was named the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) position player of the week.
This is the second time a Hope athlete has earned National Player of the Week recognition, with the other award presented to Jacie Fiedler in October, 2010.

More than 1,000 people from across the country took to the streets in Taipei yesterday, calling on the government to halt the construction of a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) maintenance depot on the site of the partially demolished Losheng (Happy Life) Sanatorium, and to rebuild the sanatorium complex.
During the protest, a group of 120 people wearing white T-shirts and yellow headbands that read "Defend Losheng" walked in time with each drum beat and, at the sound of a cymbal, knelt down and touched the ground with their foreheads.
It was not a group of ascetic monks, but rather a group of Lo- sheng Sanatorium preservation activists who were trying to attract public attention for their cause.
The sanatorium in Sinjhuang District (新莊), New Taipei City (新北市), was built in the 1930s to house people with Hansen's disease (also known as leprosy), a disease at the time believed to be highly contagious and incurable.
Decades after its completion, residents who lived in the complex were forced to move as the Taipei City Department of Rapid Transit Systems (DORTS) planned to demolish the sanatorium complex and build a maintenance depot for the Sinjhuang MRT line.
The plan was met with strong opposition from Losheng residents and preservation activists.
However, the government decided to continue the construction after proposing an adjusted plan in 2007 that would preserve a small part of the complex while demolishing the rest.
In 2010, the preservation movement was revived after a series of landslides near the construction site — which the preservationists had already warned on — which led several times to the suspension of construction.
Although DORTS is yet to propose a plan to solve the landslide issue, construction was resumed earlier this month after being suspended for about a year, causing concerns among activists and residents that the hill on which the sanatorium is built may collapse.
"I was indifferent to the issue years ago when activists campaigned for the preservation of Losheng Sanatorium, but when I had a chance to learn more about the issue, I became upset at myself for not realizing the importance at the time," said Lin Kun-chang, a Sinjhuang resident taking part in the parade group. "I volunteered to join the ascetic group to make up for my past ignorance, and I hope that more people who are as indifferent as I was will become aware."
Following the group was a large flag with the logo of the sanatorium held up by a dozen demonstrators, Losheng residents in wheelchairs, members of civic and student groups, as well as participants from all over the nation.
"In 2010, the [maintenance depot] construction was suspended because of a landslide. A year later, DORTS said they were better prepared and resumed the construction. However, within six months, the construction had to be halted again because of another landslide," said Wang Wei-min (王偉民), a civil engineer and a long-time supporter of the preservation movement. "The same thing has happened over and over again. We no longer trust DORTS."
"When you make enough mistakes, your boss may simply fire you — as masters of the nation, we certainly have the right to tell DORTS to stop," he added.
When the parade reached the DORTS headquarters, the crowd shouted: "Face the mistakes, move the depot" and stuck hundreds of stickers that read "DORTS lies" onto the plaque bearing the agency's name outside the building.

Before N/A hit domestic U.S. broadcast, Mattel put the first five parter together and premiered it at the MGM Theater in Culver City, California. I've mentioned this in other posts, but I'll tell you again how much fun it was to see 1,500 screaming kids going nuts over the 'movie'. Before it ran, Mattel had a live action He-man and Skeletor show up and battle on the stage.
That was a fine moment for a television writer who was unaccustomed to the pleasure of immediate feedback from fans.

Question time
Government (what, not Williams Government?) has questions and criticisms:
The Honourable John Hickey, Minister of Labrador Affairs, and the Honourable Patty Pottle, Minister of Aboriginal Affairs, responded today to the Canada Northern Strategy: Our North, Our Heritage, Our Future report released by the Federal Government this week. The ministers described the strategy as little more than a compilation of previously announced commitments and policy directions.So there you have it. Compling previously announced stuff into a grand "strategy" is bad, mkay?
Well, at least it is when someone else does it.

Weekly Wire: The Global Forum
These are some of the views and reports relevant to our readers that caught our attention this week.
The Challenge Of Connecting The Unconnected
Every time we return to or sign up for an Internet service (e.g. Facebook, Google, Gmail, YouTube, etc.), we rely on what UX experts call a "mental model" for navigating through the choices. A mental model is essentially a person's intuition of how something works based on past knowledge, similar experiences and common sense. So even when something is new, mental models help to make sense of it, utilizing the human brain's ability to transcode knowledge and recognize patterns. For instance, most of our grandparents can hit the ground running with changing the channel or increasing the volume when handed the remote control for the latest television available in the market today, squarely because of a well-developed mental model for TV remote control units. But our grandparents may not have the same level of success when using Internet services, smartphones or tablets. Under-developed mental models in these domains are their primary obstacles
Beyond Magic Bullets in Governance Reform
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
Domestic reformers and external donors have invested enormous energy and resources into improving governance in developing countries since the 1990s. Yet there is still remarkably little understanding of how governance progress actually occurs in these contexts. Reform strategies that work well in some places often prove disappointing elsewhere. A close examination of governance successes in the developing world indicates that effective advocacy must move beyond a search for single-focus "magic bullet" solutions toward an integrated approach that recognizes multiple interrelated drivers of governance change.

Botched Bulgarian assassination attempt on live TV - World News | TVNZ
Botched Bulgarian assassination attempt on live TV
Published: 11:49AM Sunday January 20, 2013 Source: Reuters
A man has leapt on stage and put a gun to the head of the leader of Bulgaria's ethnic Turkish party before security guards wrestled him to the ground during a televised conference.
Ahmed Dogan, the leader of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) escaped unscathed, and it was not immediately clear why the attacker targeted him at the party congress in central Sofia.
Television footage showed the man jumping out of the audience brandishing the gun which he pointed at Dogan's head. Security guards pulled him to the ground and he was repeatedly beaten and kicked by conference delegates.
Police said they arrested the attacker, a 25-year-old from the Black Sea town of Burgas, who was also carrying two knives.
Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov said the attacker tried to fire two shots but "most likely the gun misfired".
The liberal MRF party represents ethnic Turks and other Muslims who make up about 12% of Bulgaria's population of around seven million.
Most Muslims in Bulgaria are not recent immigrants but are a centuries-old community, mostly ethnic Turkish descendants of Ottoman rule.
"Bulgarian society is traditionally known for its tolerance, mutual acceptance and respect between different ethnic groups and religions," President Rosen Plevneliev said in a statement.
"Such an act is unacceptable in a democratic state."
Dogan, 58, who has lead the party for almost a quarter of a century, returned to the party conference a few hours after the attack and was greeted with standing ovation from delegates.
In 1996, former Prime Minister Andrei Lukanov was found shot dead near his home in Sofia, but attacks on politicians are rare in Bulgaria.

A suicide bomber blew himself up Sunday just after a funeral in northern Afghanistan, killing 19 people, including a member of the national parliament, the Interior Ministry said.
The attack came as mourners were leaving at the end of the funeral of a village elder in the town of Talaqan in northern Takhar province, a statement said, killing 19 and wounding 40. Among the dead was parliament member Abdul Mutaleb Baik.
Suicide attacks are rare in Takhar province, which is located 155 miles northeast of Kabul and is considered one the nation's calmer regions.
Sayed Ikramuddin Masomi, another lawmaker from Takhar province, confirmed that the lawmaker was killed.
"The suicide attacker killed innocent people, and unfortunately Abdul Mutaleb Baik was among them," he said in a telephone interview.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility. Over the past year, the Taliban have repeatedly struck at officials and other prominent figures in an apparent effort to paralyze the government. In September, a suicide attacker killed Burhanuddin Rabbani, a former Afghan president and head of the nation's peace council.
President Hamid Karzai immediately condemned the attack in Takhar province, describing it as "an inhuman action by the enemies of Afghanistan."
U.S. Marine Gen. John Allen, the coalition's top commander in Afghanistan, said, "These attackers are cowards, callously targeting and killing families and friends who had gathered to mourn a loved one."
Also Sunday, the Interior Ministry said security forces killed 30 suspected insurgents in a series of clashes around the country.
A ministry statement said army, police and NATO troops launched 11 operations in the past 24 hours across the country. It said seven insurgents were arrested.
Sunday's statement said the killed insurgents were armed and that weapons were recovered in the operations.
Separately, NATO said one of its service members was killed Sunday in an insurgent attack in eastern Afghanistan. The statement provided no further details.
The soldier was the 19th coalition fighter to die this month in Afghanistan.
