CEDAR GROVE, NJ - The Cedar Grove Town Council discussed a much talked about issue at the April 3 township council meeting.
Councilman Harry Kumburis stirred up controversy when he brought up the idea of building a train station in Cedar Grove to another local news source, an idea that Tanella said was never discussed by the council.
With an expected growth of as many as 1,000 people in town with the addition of the K. Hovnanian townhouses on Fairview Ave., Kumburis said a transit hub would be justified, according to article. The transit hub could be built off of Commerce Road and could include amenities like restaurants and bus stops, which would attract more foot traffic, according to Kumburis.
"I feel that a transit hub would benefit our town and reduce the congestion," Kumburis said during his report at the council meeting.
This transit hub, though, is not something the council has addressed, Tanella said following Kumburis' report, and is an idea that is extremely premature.
"I think for all of us on the council, we just have to remember that we act as a majority," Tanella said. "Nobody spoke or discussed that issue on this council."
Councilman Joseph Cicala echoed Tanella's remarks, saying that he was not happy to hear that a councilman spoke on an issue the council did not discuss. He is also opposed to the idea of a train station in town, he added.
As for the public, several residents spoke about their opposition to a train station in town, including Robbie Vargo, who is vying for a seat on the township council in May's election.
"I think if we have a train station, I'm concerned it would change the character of our community," Vargo said. "I think contrary to the vision that it would somehow ease the traffic, I think what we're failing to discuss or consider at the time is the transient traffic."
Vargo also spoke on the importance of preserving open space in town and said he does not want to see every inch of Cedar Grove covered in buildings – or in this case, a transit hub.
Resident Kerry Peterson who is also running to a council seat agreed with Vargo and even said a train station would pose a safety issue for residents.
"The thing that concerns me the greatest is that it's a public safety issue," Peterson said. "Considering the current climate that our country is in right now, bringing something like a transient hub and a train into Cedar Grove really puts our residents at risk for their safety, especially the residents at Anderson Parkway."
Peterson also said kids hanging out near the train station – which is something she said she has heard dialogue on – would be extremely dangerous.
Several other residents agreed with Vargo and Peterson, saying the train station would alter the character of the town and create more congestion, but resident John Martinelli offered a different opinion.
"I think it actually is a good idea," Martinelli said, adding that as a commuter, he would like not having to go to a different town to catch the train. "There's a lot of people that I know in the area that go into Manhattan who would be excited to have a train station that would come through."
Still, Tanella said this idea is one that is extremely premature and would need to go through many steps – including being discussed by the council – before becoming a plausible possibility in Cedar Grove.

Remembering the Congo
The Rooster
I can still hear the rooster. It's 5:30 in the morning and I just spent the night fighting mosquitoes. After four nights of this, I know the bug spray is not working. The mosquitoes are a part of this journey. They, like myself, have a mission to complete. It's Sunday morning. The second day of July and I'm in central Africa. The Congo.The crowing of the rooster at 5:30am and the pitch-black darkness reminded me of my southern roots and the summer I spent with my grandparents in Tuskegee, Alabama. I didn't need to think, I knew it was time to get up and pray.
The Road
The road to Africa was not easy. It started six months ago when I called my doctor to set up my annual appointment for a check up. I knew in my spirit, I needed to talk to her about any shots I would need to travel to central Africa. In January 2000, I started the six-month process. The ticket in my hand said I would be flying out from Atlanta, Georgia on June 27, 2000, arrive in Brussels, Belgium on June 28 and fly out the same night on a 747 jet to central Africa; arriving in the capital city of Kinshasa at 7:30am.
The Travel
I, along with the missionary team from the United States was escorted through the beautiful city formerly called Zaire to what would be my home for the next sixteen days. With all the flying across the Atlantic Ocean, I did not sleep. So by the time we reached the Spanish villa that would be my home, I was tired. I went to sleep in my twin bed located in the northeast section of the house. At 5:30am, Saturday morning, I heard the rooster crow. My ring watch said it was 10 pm in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was warm in the Congo, not hot like I expected. The majority of the people spoke French. Breakfast was being served in a few minutes so I had to pray, get washed up and ready to meet people very quickly.
The First Week
The first week in the Congo, I worshiped with more than 3,000 people, ate in the best homes and lost ten pounds because the food has no preservatives, no additives, and no fat. I saw traditional African dancers and heard traditional African singing from the people. I visited villages and fancy homes. The people speak French as their official language, but more often then naught, you will find them speaking three other languages as well: Swahilli, Tshiluba, Kikongo and Lingala. They didn't understand why I only spoke one language. They have traveled as much as 30 miles on foot to see and talk to the missionaries from America. Within the week, my hair is changed to look like theirs and I receive a new set of clothes. The second week, I learn to speak a little French and a little of their native languages; enough to say good morning, good night and thank you.
The Scenery
Our scenery was that of multi-colored lizards and wrought-iron gates like the kind you see in the French Quarters in New Orleans. The most beautiful fabric designs worn on the slimmest, most beautiful bodies of my sisters were breathtaking. The open market that sold fresh fish, fresh tomatoes, and fresh red potato was awesome. You could buy fresh fish, fresh yam pound for fufu, fresh palm oil for the body or for the food, cassava leaves, roasted peanuts, and fresh bread everyday. And Fanta, Oh my God! Fanta – red, orange and pineapple. You won't find much ice there though. They drink almost everything at room temperature. The tea in Kinshasa is the best I've ever tasted; I stopped drinking coffee. Then you had the unique art pieces that are made only in Africa. The small hand-made cars, airplanes and bicycles made from the raw metals were stunning. The woodcarvings of the ancestors, even the beautifully designed tableware for keeping fufu hot was unique. But that's just the beginning. And that's only in the Congo.
The Gospel
The real highlight of going to Africa was the work of the Lord. I am yet grateful to God for this life-changing experience. It was our goal to "spread the gospel" everywhere we went and God made a way for us to do just that. I found life in Africa and its true meaning. The love I felt there is still with me today. On Saturday, July 15, I know we will leave Kinshasa but at 5:30am I will hear the rooster crow and know it's time to get up to pray.

Research promoting a painless new method for detecting diabetes, utilizing saliva, was revealed today at the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) 18th Annual Meeting & Clinical Congress.
While searching for biomarkers that may indicate diabetes, doctors examined the saliva of 40 different patients. Through salivary analysis, they managed to devise a new, "non-invasive" method for detecting diabetes that foregoes the uncomfortable prick of a needle- patients need only to spit into a cup. The spit test could be performed for little cost in a doctor's office or at a patient's home.
"Our goal was to characterize proteins in human saliva that may indicate prediabetes and type-2," said Srinivasa R. Nagalla, MD. "Analysis of these proteins allowed us to develop this new method for screening, detecting and monitoring the diabetic state."
Through the course of his team's research, Nagalla estimates that they identified a total of 487 unique proteins, approximately a third of which had not been previously reported in human saliva. Of those, 65 proteins indicated a difference between patients with normal blood glucose levels and those with diabetes.
"This comprehensive protein analysis provides the first global view of potential mechanisms perturbed in diabetic saliva and their utility in detection and monitoring of diabetes," Dr. Nagalla said.
For more information about diabetes, download the American College of Endocrinology's (ACE) "Power of Prevention®" Magazine here. The magazine features medical information on prediabetes, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, diabetes complications, and tips on how diabetes patients can best prepare for disaster.
ACE also issued a comprehensive treatment regimen for patients with prediabetes; a condition affecting more than 56 million Americans, which leaves them at risk for developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular complications. To download these recommendations click here.
A short, one-page bio and high resolution photo of Srinivasa R. Nagalla, MD is available here.
Audio from the press briefing is available online here.

Going back to work after any holiday is a mixed blessing but returning to work after having a baby is a fairly stressful thing to do. Of course a part of you may look forward to returning to the adult world and rediscovering your intellectual abilities. But frequently this enjoyment is overshadowed by the stress of having to leave your child. If the baby is still small then guilt can add to your problems and if you've waited till the child is school going, you may face the stress of wondering whether you still have what it takes to do a good job! All in all, it really isn't an easy decision, is it?
The advantage of returning to work is, that in a paradoxical manner, you push the specter of nervous breakdown further away, even though you do substantially increase your stress quotient. Tension at home is augmented by tension at work but the very act of changing problems allows your perspective to remain largely in place. As against this, when you're stuck in only one environment, you also run the risk of getting stuck in any negative attitudes that are associated with that environment. And no parent can dispute that too much time spent with children is a wonderful recipe for parental irritation and frustration!
The disadvantages? Even if baby doesn't mind being left alone at home, you are definitely going to feel extremely guilty. No maid or even a family member will ever measure up to your beliefs of how your child should be brought up – even if you yourself are unable to live up to your own standards if you choose to remain at home. If the baby is still breast feeding then you might have to resort to expressing or starting top feeds. For older children there's the worry of missing an important part of their childhood and of not providing the dominant influence in their lives.
Unfortunately in India, part time work or flexi time work options are limited. Your choices are clear – child or career. It is rare that you get to enjoy the benefits of both and it's a fact that even then you will be pushing yourself relentlessly in an effort to put in your best on all fronts. So what can you do? First of all forget perfection and comparisons with anyone else. When you're working and raising a child, many household chores and duties will remain undone. Accept it because otherwise you run the danger of stretching yourself too thin. So you can't be as perfect a mom as your neighbour who stays home all day or as perfect at work as your colleague who works longer hours because she has no family to look after. Even without perfection there will be days when you feel unable to cope and desperate for a break, so don't make things worse by trying to be everything for everyone at all times.
The next thing is to spend some time on yourself. Sounds difficult? It is, but unless you spend some time looking after yourself, you are going to be unable to maintain your centeredness and its unlikely that a screaming, tense and unhappy woman is going to make a good employee or mom! So even if it seems impossible, even if it seems selfish, you need time for yourself so that you can retaing a sense of humour about the various crises waiting in the wings.
Prioritise – not everything is equally important. There were many things you could do before you became a working mom but its time to accept your limitations now. Be ruthless about cutting out stuff from your life but take care to ensure that this 'stuff' doesn't include friends and family. A little bit of socializing and friendly closeness is just what the doctor ordered for retaining a clear perspective on life. A word of caution however – don't let friends and family psyche you out with their notions on what you should or should not do. Most importantly take the time out of your busy schedule to spend time with your spouse.

About Devotion
The Sanskrit bhakti is derived from the root bhak which means, among other things, to partake in or to receive one's share.
The Tibetan equivalent is mos-gus. Mos has a wide range of meanings. Basically, it means orienting the mind towards something desirable or appropriate. It also means actively striving and moving towards the desirable while remaining focused and undistracted. Gos means with respect.
In English, bhakti and mos-gu are both currently translated as devotion or love. This could be okay and maybe even helpful to counterbalance over-intellectualization, but let's not forget— devotion in Vajrayana is not a heart connection in an ordinary human way. It's a devotion towards enlightenment and towards everything that keeps our minds directed towards enlightenment sich as teachers, texts, and places.
In addition to that, how devotion arises is unique to the karmic constitution of individuals.
What does devotion mean (or not mean) to you? Please share your reflections in the Comments below.

Immediate family members (spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21) of the TN principal can be admitted to the U.S. as TD dependents. Family members may apply for the TD non-immigrant status together with the TN principal or separately at a later time. The validity of the TD non-immigrant status and benefits are contingent upon the validity of the TN principal's status.
Family members will follow the same application procedure as the TN principal:
In addition, each family member will be required to provide the following documents:
Family members of Canadian citizens are exempt from the visa requirement and may seek admission to the U.S. as TD non-immigrant directly with the Department of Homeland Security at any designated U.S. Port of Entry location.
Mexican citizens are required to obtain a travel visa from a U.S. Consulate/Embassy office before seeking admission to the U.S. as a TD non-immigrant. Applicants are required to make an appointment for a visa interview with a U.S. Consular Officer at a U.S. Embassy/Consulate office in Mexico.
Family members who are currently inside the U.S. and are eligible may request for a change of status to or extend their TD non-immigrant status by filing the I-539 Petition to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status.
If the TD validity period is expired at the time of re-entry, the TN non-immigrant will be required to renew his or her status at the U.S. Port of Entry (Canadian citizens) or at a U.S. Consulate/Embassy office (Mexican citizens) with the required documents and new fee payment.
Family members should travel with their own TD documents as well as a copy of the TN principal's approval documents and proof of relationship.

Archived here: http://archive.is/8nQQP
In England our universities are in the middle of preparing documents on the outputs and impacts of their academic staff under the Research Excellence Framework (REF). The REF is treated very seriously since relative success represents prestige and enhanced funding from the Higher Education Funding Council for England.
Until last week I had only a vague idea of the impact of my research over the past 21 years, and even less of its impact since the cut-off point of the current REF - which is seeking evidence of impact since 1st. January 2008.
So I started searching on Google - using the names of reports I had written along with my name to scour the internet. And I uncovered a virtual narcissist's goldmine of evidence of how important I am for policy making.
Without Google I would never have learned how many times I have been named alongside my work in English and Scottish Parliamentary debate seeking to implement legislation based on my research recommendations. Neither would I have learned, by way of just a few examples, that my research was:
- named as the inspiration for a successful research bid to test my findings on the use of media to reduce racism
- used for policymaking in the fields of crime and prejudice reduction
- recommended as good crime reduction and policing practice (weirdly, without sound evidence that it actually is) by four different national government departments (UK, USA, Australia and New Zealand).
A couple of days of Googling produced surprising evidence (for me at least) that is 'all about me' in terms of the impact of my research on the world.
Before the Internet we were very much more in the dark regarding what we knew about other people and organisations being influenced by our work. The Internet truly is a remarkable invention. Knowing more about your impact and proving it with HTML links is one sure way to bolster your CV. I've included the information below on mine today, under the same heading:
Internet Based Evidence of Policy Impact of my Research
I am the originator of the Market Reduction Approach to theft (MRA), and my research in this area has, for more than a decade, influenced government policy advice and policy making in Britain and elsewhere. Several British police forces have sought to reduce theft with the MRA.
In 1999, the MRA was implemented for the first time when Kent Constabulary sought to use it in its Operation Radium to reduce high levels of burglary and other theft in the Medway Towns of Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, Rainham and Strood, which were given the collective pseudonym South Town (Home Office 2004). This initiative led to the passing of several local Acts of Parliament throughout England to regulate trade in second hand goods, with an aim to reduce Supply by Theft (Sutton 1995) including the Kent Acts(2001) and the Nottingham City Council Act (2003).
The MRA was mentioned at National Government level, along with my work in Parliamentary debate (Hansard 2000) and the Kent Acts later in Parliamentary Business (Hansard 2004). In 1999, the British Home Office funded the implementation of the MRA in three police forces: Kent, West Mercia and Stockport in Greater Manchester (Home Office 2006), followed by a Government funded evaluation by the University of Kent of the implementation and impact of the MRA in Kent and Greater Manchester(Harris, Hale and Uglow 2003; Hale et al (2004).
Other MRA schemes have been implemented in Britain in Nottinghamshire and Derby City constabularies. In 2011, the MRA was defined as a core policing core practice and as a performance indicator by Nottinghamshire Constabulary and the City's Crime Reduction Partnership. I continue to publish in the area of tackling stolen goods markets (e.g. Sutton 2010) and advise police at local, national and international levels. I occasionally act as an unpaid ad-hoc informal 'sceptical friend' (academic advisor) for various police forces through meetings, email and telephone conversations. In 2011, I addressed a British audience of chief police officers through the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO National Burglary Reduction Working Group) on the subject of the MRA and the importance of veracity to inform policy in policing and crime reduction (7/9/2011).
Although the MRA has been promoted as 'good practice' by the British Government and has been used by several police forces, it has not proved possible to evaluate its impact in reducing crime due to a number of factors, not least the extent of confounding variables that impact upon crime rates at both the local and national level. Despite lack of evidence of its effectiveness in reducing crime, the UK Government, US Government, Australian Government and New Zealand Government (somewhat surprisingly) promote it as good 'effective' policing and general crime reduction practice:
- UK Government Website promoting my MRA See page 9 USA Government's Department of Justice COPS programme international problem-oriented Practitioners policing guide for tackling stolen goods markets to reduce theft
- US Department of justice also added my Home Office MRA guide to its website and an influential briefing note.
- My report on tackling stolen goods markets is also recommended reading in US Department of Justice"Mayors' Guide to effective policing and crime prevention.
- Australian Government's Institute of Criminology
- New Zealand Ministry of Justice and also here.
Wider Influence of my MRA on Criminology
The MRA has been quite widely cited in the literature on crime reduction by criminologists including Marcus Felson and Ronald Clarke (See Wikipedia 2011; 2011a; 2011b for a reasonably comprehensive list). Here are just a few examples of how the MRA has influenced and/or been cited as important research in other areas beyond the theft of high volume consumer goods:

Some Examples of the Impact of My Other Work on Crime Reduction and Bias and Prejudice Reduction Policy Guidance and Policy Making
Within England
- Publication of Sutton, M. Perry, B. Parke J. and John-Baptiste, C. (2007) Getting the Message Across: Using media to reduce 'racial' prejudice. Department of Communities and Local Government. London. (Peer reviewed national government research report). Led to keynote speaking engagement with National and local government representatives and members of anti-racism organisations: where I was Keynote speaker at a forum held in Scotland and funded by the Glasgow Anti-Racist Alliance (GARA). Subsequently, the Getting the Message Across report also used in a Coalition for Racial Equality and Rightssubmission to the Council of Europe Advisory Committee on the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities.
- Newcastle City Council relied upon the Getting the Message Across report to shape its policy making .
Within Scotland
On 26 August 2011, The Coalition for Racial Equality and Rights (formerly known as the Glasgow Anti Racist Alliance) sent a written submission to the Scottish Parliament's Justice Committee regarding the Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland). Bill. The submission informed Parliament of the dangers of implementing uninformed racism reductions measures that are likely to backfire and make the problem worse. The submission cited the myth busting research contained within the 'Getting the Message Across' report (Sutton et al 2007). Policy making advice within the 'Getting the Message Across' report inspired the Glasgow Anti Racist Alliance (Now Coalition for Racial Equality and Human Rights - CREHR) to successfully apply for funding to test its recommendations. They wrote:
"The project was funded by the Equality and Human Rights Commission and used recommendations from the Communities and Local Government report "Getting the message across: using media to reduce racial prejudice and discrimination" (Sutton et al., 2007) as impetus to undertake a local research project."

These are cool because you actually knit the sole (and heel) of the sock in such a way that if, or when, the heel or sole gets holes in it, you can simply take it off and re-knit it. No sewing, either because the sole is knit onto the sock! This is great for really fancy socks, like two color stranded socks, that are a lot of work to knit and a shame to wear out. I Love this idea! Anna Zilboorg is just brilliant to have come up with it!

A question
marlowx proclaims that all criminals are 'evil shits'.
Yesterday, I smoked some weed, today I went through a red light on Maida Vale.
Am I an evil shit?
not proper
evil but you'd better watch out...it starts with a spliff, but who knows where it will end?
trafficking sex workers,
If you went through the red light
in a car, you're an irresponsible bastard.
If you were on a bike, ALL BETS ARE OFF
and one which needs wiping up
cyclists who go through red lights
are evil shits, yes.
then you're allowed
I just see waaay too many people do this it makes me go raaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
i know i know
i fucking hate it too. i felt really bad afterwards as well.
I do it all the time,
although I'd never dream of doing it in a car. I AM ON A BIKE. I MUST NEVER STOP
looks like your tapes
are heading for the big cassette reel dump in the sky, not that they've come yet.
And I was going to send them today (tomorrow) as well!!!
i'll let you off
if you include some type of sweet
WOOOOAAAAH black betty, bam-a-lam
without an amber in between??
you should alert the authorities
yes it was
I stabbed a pensioner for £4.24. Today I obtained property by deception, not that the local hospital really needs the dialysis machine.
Who is the real evil bastard, eh? Me, or society?
Yeah, thought you might agree
i'd just raped that old man. he kept whining "please... no... i've only got £4.24." AND THEN YOU TOOK IT
just looked so... stabable...
I'd like to hear from The Man
on this one.
I travelled free between Kingsland Road and Finchley Road on Friday
am I Jesus in reverse?
I crossbowed burning condoms at a full playground
before beating a dog to death
does that make me a criminal Mr Blair?
asbo request
I believe in swearing at children at any given opportunity
now cuff me, boys.
only if you knocked someone over
whilst going through the red light...
only if
you went through the red light because you were stoned and caused a charity worker to crash into a bus of disabled arabian children, which then crashed into the endangered animal cage and let lions loose across london town.
or if you rode over a fly at the same time.
I illegall downloaded some music mid week
have I just killed the very concept of record buying in one fell swoop?
Cuff me again, boys.
I don't believe in evil.
The law is a large, tangled, strange, politicised system. Some of it is good. For example, you can't rape people without expecting to get caught and locked away and not be allowed to continue your life as you wish to. But some of it is bad, such as restricting freedoms based on belief systems that not everyone adheres to. Like trying to 'protect' people from things that may damage their health or make them less economically active. Like heroin. Or whatever. This kind of unwanted protection is annoying. However, I say this as someone who was fortunate enough to come from a middle class family and be put through uni etcetera, so without being condescending, maybe some people weren't given those chances and are less educated about these things and therefore less able to make an informed decision. But then, when it comes to decision making on an individual level, surely the right to do as you please matters more than having protectionist law removing 'dangerous' options from the selection available.
Basically, nobody is free. Unless being forced into a life of servitude in order to get money for things you may or may not want counts of freedom.
I want some coffee. I wonder if there is a toilet in this internet cafe. This seat in uncomfortable.
it's not illegal for a baby to juggle knives but it is illegal to stand there and watch. or fill it and stick it on youtube.
or it's illegal to sell drugs but it isn't illegal to buy them but it is illegal to then inject them into young girls and sleep with them, film it, and put it on youtube.
i think by this logic youtube should be made illegal and then the world will be a better place.
with lov
[abandon reply]
Evil Shit
say hello to Saddam for me!
laws are not necessarily objective
they are highly subjective because they are meant to 'serve the purpose of the society that creates them'
1) they often fall short of this aim
2) people do not volunteer to be part of this society.
3) the society may be 'evil' or at least, not true, to human beings natural purer impulses/rights.
yes humans veer off and do 'unacceptable things' one would find countless volunteers to deal with 'murderers' thieves molesters etc (unless they gang together, which then needs a co-ordinated response....the correct and natural need for a security force/police force)
What is unatural about security forces is the work that they do to maintain the status quo of transition of power.....this exists because of the previous need to prevent outside/hostile powers from interfering taking over, however some of this is spurious and unecessary and since one cannot see the simple justification for it, untenable.....how can someone be guilty of something, if they dont think it is morally wrong? just because the state says not to do something, and you go against this does not necessarily make you a moral criminal. remember in nazi germany there were several laws which were morally evil themselves. I do believe that there are certain laws that are allowed to lie because they could provide government with useful material wit hwhich to discredit peoplr who might otherwise be able to criticise them on a serious issue.
e.g. if a certain soft druk is illegal, yet the person is morally good, if they criticise the government (even benignly and constructively) then the government/institution does not need bother counter this criticism, the media could destroy that persons ability to argue in any forum by revealing that persons past. Marlowx is merely reinforcing the ability to do this (although Im sure he is just being mischievious and doesnt really believe wha he said at all)
how a shit
can be evil ?
surely you
have changed some nappies?
and it isn't evil.
Smelly, disgusting... yes !
But not evil.
A shit has no conscience so can't be evil !

By Adeboye Amosu:
Flying Eagles forward, Chiderah Ezeh, says the team is condemned to win their final group game against Hungary.
The African champions got their campaign at the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup back on track with a resounding 4-0 win against North Korea on Thursday following a 4-2 defeat to Brazil in their opening fixture.
Another win against the Hungarians who have impressed so far in the competition with impressive displays against Korea and Brazil will see Manu Garba's men through to the next round of the competition.
And Ezeh who is yet to taste action in the competition has backed his side to scale through.
''We can't afford to exit the competition at this stage and the implication is that we must do all we can to beat Hungary,'' the youngster told completesportsnigeria.com.
''It's a game we are condemned to win even though we know it's not going to be esay. Hungary have proved they are a quality side and we must be at our best to beat them. But i believe we are stronger than them and i see us making it to the next round."

Henderson Land likely first to settle land premium under pilot arbitration scheme
Developer looks set to reach a land premium settlement in November under pilot arbitration scheme to free more land for housing projects
Related topics
Henderson Land Development, which holds the biggest land reserve in the New Territories among Hong Kong developers, is likely to be the first to reach a land premium settlement under the pilot arbitration scheme proposed by Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying early last year to unlock more land for housing projects.
The result is expected to be released in November, according to the firm's management as quoted by the head of research at BNP Paribas Lee Wee Liat, who attended Henderson Land's analyst briefing after the announcement of its first-half results on Thursday.
"The land premium settlement will involve a small amount of money. The developer will probably use a small-scale farmland conversion to test how the arbitration scheme works," he said.
Henderson Land said it held 44.5 million square feet of land in the New Territories, the largest holding among all property developers in Hong Kong.
It said the group had 2.8 million sq ft located in the outline zoning plans for both Kwu Tung North and Fanling North, which were already approved by the Chief Executive in Council.
Of the 2.8 million sq ft, it said about 800,000 sq ft was assessed to be eligible for in-situ land exchange and the government may resume the other parts of its lands for public use by payment or cash compensation.
"The group has previously applied for in-situ land exchange for two land lots in Fanling North and Kwu Tung, which have just been accepted by the government for further review," according to Henderson Land's result announcement.
The two sites are expected to yield a total gross floor area of 610,000 sq ft and 340,000 sq ft respectively.
"Developable area for both sites is subject to finalisation of land premium," it said.
The arbitration scheme was announced by the chief executive in his policy address in January last year, with the aim of shortening land premium negotiations - during which a developer can sit on land set aside for redevelopment for years.
The scheme was officially launched in July last year and is being introduced to increase the supply of flats by speeding up land rezoning and redevelopment. Currently, many potential residential projects are delayed by negotiations over the land premium - the amount the developer pays the government to change use of the land.
Lee said negotiations between the Lands Department and developers could take up to three to four years but the pilot scheme would help to cut short prolonged discussions.
Under the new scheme, when the parties fail to reach agreement and the developer has already made two appeals, the decision can be passed to the arbitration panel. However, the Director of Lands will have "unfettered discretion" in deciding whether to resort to arbitration.
But Vincent Cheung Kiu-cho, national director at property consultant Cushman & Wakefield said negotiations between the government and private developers over the land premiums payable for farmland conversion were more complicated, and frequently led to debate over the revaluation process.
"In this case, the arbitration scheme could accelerate the process of farmland conversion," he said.
In the first half, the Lands Department said it had generated HK$18.2 billion in land premiums through lease modification, land exchange and private treaty, about 95 per cent higher than the HK$9.34 billion for the whole of last year. The hefty increase in land premium income in the first half was mainly driven by the sale of two large sites in Tseung Kwan O and Tin Shui Wai through MTR Corp and the Ma Tau Kok residential development via the Urban Renewal Authority.
"This (case) might trigger more applications under the (arbitration) scheme to speed up farmland conversion," said Lee.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker fends off recall to retain office
In the original version of this story, FSRN incorrectly stated that Governor Scott Walker won every county he carried in 2010, except for Kenosha. In fact, Governor Walker lost two additional counties that he won in 2010: La Crosse and Columbia. FSRN regrets the error.
Results are in from primary and recall elections across the US. In New Jersey Democrat Bill Pascrell beat out Steve Rothman in a contest that pitted two former allies from the same party for the newly configured 9th Congressional District.
In a Northern California race to replace outgoing Congressmember and former Progressive Caucus chair Lynn Woolsey, Democratic Assemblymember Jared Huffman and Republican Dan Robert finished in the top two, according to unofficial results. Progressive candidate Norm Solomon came in third.
Also, Jill Stein appears to have secured the Green Party presidential nomination with a victory in California, beating out candidates Roseanne Barr and Kent Mesplay.
And in Wisconsin, Governor Scott Walker has become the first Governor in US History to survive a recall election. Walker defeated challenger Tom Barrett 53 to 46 percent. FSRN's Molly Stentz has more from Madison.
House lawmakers propose higher minimum wage after bleak jobs report
In Washington, a group of progressive lawmakers in the House unveiled a bill today to raise the minimum wage, saying it would create the consumer demand needed to lift the US out of the recession. The move comes as a new analysis from the Congressional Budget Office finds the nation's economic outlook worse than previously thought and after a disappointing May jobs report showed a hiring slowdown and pervasive high unemployment. FSRN's Alice Ollstein has more, in Washington, D.C.
Activists call for stricter SEC enforcement and criminal investigation into JP Morgan Chase
Today in New York activists are rallying to demand that the US Securities and Exchange Commission enforce stricter regulation of financial markets. Demonstrators in lower Manhattan said JP Morgan Chase's recent loss of more than $2 billion highlights the dangers of risky trading by big banks. They are calling for JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon to be subject to a criminal investigation by the Department of Justice and they are also calling for Dimon to resign from the board of the New York Federal Reserve. FSRN's Caroline Lewis reports from New York City.
Bahraini human rights activist Nabeel Rajab rearrested amid crackdown on protesters
In Bahrain, authorities arrested a prominent human rights activist today for using his Twitter account to comment on the country's ruling Sunni government. Nabeel Rajab is president of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights, and is one of many targeted in the 16-month-long government crackdown on pro-democracy activists. His arrest came today as he prepared to go to court to face additional charges for his activity monitoring human rights abuses in the country and speaking out in interviews and social media, according to his defense attorney. The government's prosecution secretary confirmed Rajab's arrest today and said in state media that he would remain in custody for seven days.
FSRN spoke to Rajab by mobile phone in Manama before today's arrest as he prepared for his court appearance.

Hello everyone, hope you have a great day ahead. It's festive season now in Malaysia. We are celebrating the Eid al-Fitr ("festival of breaking of the fast"), also called Breaking the Fast Feast which our country called Hari Raya Aidilfitri (in Malaysia language). It is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting.
For every festive seasons in Malaysia, Crabtree & Evelyn will surely came out with lots of promotions especially on their fine foods. I'm a person that prefer tea more than coffee. Of course, I don't wanna miss the promotion period. This time, I get the chance to buy myself few boxes of their tea selection with a very reasonable price (or maybe I would say CHEAP).
So, today will be a very simple post that I would like to share about one of the tea selection that I have bought. It is the Green Tea with English Garden Mint.
If you like green tea and also mint, I would recommend you to try this tea. It's a refreshing blend of green tea infused with refreshing spearmint leaves. The mint and green tea blend in very nice. I'm not a person who love or flavor to mint very much. The mint taste from this tea is still very mild to me. So, I can still accept and liking it. I love green tea so much, but sometimes too much of green tea you may get bored too.. Hahaha. This mixture of mint and green tea make the tea to be a little difference and fun to drink. I love to have this tea during the morning or in the evening (with lots of work to be done), just to get the refreshing feeling. I feel is way better than the caffeine from coffee.
The taste will just arise after you pour in the boiling water. You may infuse two to three minutes according to taste and remove the sachet. For me, I just soak the tea bag in the water. This tea bag has very limited ingredients which are only three – Green Tea (82%), Spearmint Leaf (15%), Natural Flavours. I would say that the tea is being blend until quite fine, you can't really differentiate the green tea and spearmint leaf. From their official website, it stated that it's suitable for vegetarians and vegans. The tea bag is made from filter paper (if I'm not wrong). A box of this has total of 10 sachets each with 20grams.
Overall, I find this tea is very refreshing and fine. You still can get the taste leave in your mouth for about a few minutes after drinking it. It can be serve for up to three cups (for a normal tea cups). According to your flavor, you may add sugar or milk. For me, I usually will have my tea original or pure. The price for this is RM7 for one box (which is around 2 dollars USD). I think this is a great deal for a mid-range tea.
Hope you enjoy reading.
Love, Jess

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time is a classic beat 'em up that is best enjoyed with friends and a pizza.
The Legend of the Mystical Ninja is a fun and challenging action adventure based on Japanese folklore.
Secret of Mana is a classic action RPG with a large sprawling world, interesting characters, and clunky combat.
An oldie but goodie, Donkey Kong Country still provides excellent platforming fun but is a little rough around the edges.
Kirby's Dream Land 3 is much slower paced than other Kirby games but still manages to deliver on fun and excitement, although some of the puzzles are more frustrating than fun.
Kirby Super Star is fun, charming, and easy to pick up and play. It's also way too short and way too easy.
Wild Guns: Reloaded is an excellent remastered version of the Super Nintendo original. A timeless game with addicting gameplay.
Spawn for the Super Nintendo is pretty bad. It starts out well enough but quickly takes a nosedive into bullshit. There are far better beat 'em up games from the 16-bit era.

Will you marry me?
Has everyone checked out Essences' "Will you marry me?" contest???
Well, I just voted. Wanna know who I voted for? Ok ok I'll tell you! I decided to vote for..... drumroll please.... Cleveland and Maya!
Cleveland Sonny Carr, 30, is in the Army for nine years and is scheduled to make a fourth trip to Afghanistan in July 2010. He and his fiancee, Maya, have been together for one year but have known each other since the eighth grade. Maya teaches 7th grade reading, and is working on her Masters for School Administration. The relationship is long-distance, as he lives in Clarksville, TN, and she lives in Chicago, IL.
After reading their story, I fell in love! I love that they reconnected after years of being apart and work hard to stay together despite being far apart. I was flipping thru their picture gallery and could see the love they share just radiating out of the pictures!
Dear Maya,
You're still that girl I wanted to be with in the eighth grade. Who could have imagined we'd reconnect after ten years? But the moment you stepped back into my life I knew I wouldn't let you get away this time. Throughout this relationship, you've listened compassionately whenever I share details about my Army career as an infantry soldier in Iraq. I've never opened up to anyone as I have to you, because the love you've shown me makes it feel so effortless. You give me a stronger sense of life and purpose, and you've made me a better man and soldier. You never cease to amaze me. You're a devoted single mother of two, a committed seventh-grade teacher and a hardworking grad student, and yet you always make time for your soldier boy. As I prepare for my fourth trip to the desert, I know I can count on your support. You are the real deal, the love of my life. Will you marry me?
I mean how could you not say yes to that proposal???
Please please please go vote for your favorite couple on Essences' "Will you marry me?" contest webpage. Why not come back and let me know who you voted for!?!?

You Don't Required A Travel Representative To Select A Terrific HotelWhether it is business or pleasure, finding the right hotel room is essential. A bad hotel can put a damper on your whole trip and keep you from enjoying your stay. So take the time to learn how to find a great hotel at a perfect price. here are some tips to get you started.
If you are out of the room for any length of time, protect the valuables you leave in the room. In addition to leaving expensive items in a safe, leave the television on when you are out of the room. That will make it look like you are still there and thieves will move on.
After you check prices for hotels online, call the hotel's direct number. Sometimes you can get a better price when you reserve directly through the hotel rather than through the company's website or toll-free number. In addition, you can make any special requests during this call, such as requesting a quiet room or a crib.
If you are interested in "going green" when traveling, try going to a "green" hotel. Start by looking for these hotels online. There are several organizations that let you search for these hotels easily like Green Hotels Association and Green Globe. They will have a comprehensive list of green hotels in different locations.
Check your room when you arrive. Make sure the room is entirely clean and free from any mildew or mold. Does everything work? Do you have all the towels and linens you need? If you have any problem with the room, report it immediatlely to have it fixed as soon as possible.
Do not always assume that staying on the club floor of a hotel is a great way to waste money. While you may have to pay for this upgrade, you will end up saving more money in the end. This is because things like drinks, appetizers and free breakfast are part of the deal, and these things are very expensive when purchased separately.
If you plan on bringing your family to a hotel, you should look for family-friendly policies and special deals online. Try using family vacation review sites. You can find many family hotels and resort reviews. Searching through these sites should help you also locate deals to make your trip more enjoyable and affordable.
Be aware of the check in and check out times for the hotel at which you are staying. If you arrive too early, your room may not be ready, and you may have to wait a few hours to access it. If you fail to check out by the appointed time, you may be charged for an extra day. Knowing the hotel policies with regard to check in and check out times can save you some aggravation.
Do not assume all hotels allow pets. Some hotels allow pets of any size, some have certain restrictions, and some do not allow pets at all. If you have a pet and book a room at a hotel that has a no pet policy, you will not be allowed to stay there with your furry friend.
The price you pay at a hotel often depends on the time frame in which you reserve the room. pillows hotel contact number in part based on availability. If you can, make your reservation no earlier than 24 hours before you arrive. This can get you a seriously discounted rate. A room that's empty won't help the hotel, so generally they will get the price lowered.

Get an AAA membership for hotel perks when you travel. AAA members can receive great hotel discounts as well as locate a rental car much more easily. In click the up coming internet site , free car seats are usually provided, which parents are certain to enjoy.
If you wish to have happy kids while you're on the road, be sure you call a hotel to see if they have a working pool at the time. Nothing is quite as frustrating as arriving at a hotel with children clamoring to jump in the pool only to find that it is closed.
If you are looking for deals on a hotel room, you may have to go straight to the source yourself. Many hotels do not post ads all over the Internet offering discounts. You usually have to find them yourself. Simply call potential hotels and ask them if they have any promotions or discounts.
Many hotels now give you a towel card at the time of check-in. These cards are exchanged for a beach towel to be used in the pool area. On your last night, turn your towel back in and get your towel card back. If you do not, you may be charged as much as $25 at check-out time.
To be a "green" hotel guest, check your bathroom counter and bed for a sign about how to keep the maids from taking your towels away each day. Usually, if http://notifytrade61herma.blogkoo.com/finding-the-best-hotels-for-great-costs-8861752 hang your linens up, they will stay in the room, but if you leave them on the floor, the maids will take them and give you clean ones.
There are many hidden fees that can substantially increase the cost of your hotel stay. For example, many hotels deliver a newspaper outside of your room and charge you for it. To ensure you are not charged for any unwanted items carefully read the contract before signing for your hotel room.
How Your Hotel Soap Could Make You a Better Traveler
In addition to creating natural, high-end soaps and lotions, Soapbox works with 35 charities across 65 countries, including in the U.S., to give away bars of its soap. The donations help families in the U.S. and save lives in places like India, Uganda, and Haiti—all of which Soapbox CEO David Simnick has visited to connect with the companies' partner charities. How Your Hotel Soap Could Make You a Better Traveler
It is not always possible to check-in early. Be sure to plan your arrival with that in mind, or you may be sitting in the lobby area for some time. The rooms can't be readied and cleaned until the prior guests are gone, so this means that check-in time is usually around 2 p.m. or 3 p.m. If you do arrive before the normal check-in, you can ask if it's possible to do so early, but this should not be expected.
If you do not trust leaving your valuables in the safe provided in your room, hotel staff will store it in the safe located there. Make sure that you get some type of receipt verifying the items you give them. This will help cover damages in case something goes missing.
As you know, staying in a bad hotel can ruin a trip. Whether it is business or pleasure, you need a hotel that makes you comfortable and fulfills your needs. So keep the tips from the article above in mind as you look for a hotel and you will quickly weed out the bad ones and find the one that is right for you.

Margarete Hicken tries to keep her voice chipper as she talks to her friend on the phone. "Oh," she says, "I'm just lolling about." Lolling, indeed. She is lying under the table in her tiny breakfast nook, unable to get up.
A half-hour ago, trying to throw something in the wastebasket, she lost her balance, then lost her grip on her walker as she fell. She wasn't hurt, but she couldn't bend her legs to get vertical again. So she inched her way toward the breakfast nook, hoping to get a grip on the table legs to pull herself up. She was lying there, pondering her options, when the phone rang.
When you're 101 and you don't answer the phone at night, well-meaning folks and busybodies alike start to worry. They summon ambulances and rescue crews that may take you to the hospital and then to rehab and then maybe move you into a nursing home. They set things in motion that you might not be able to undo.
So she pulls the phone off the table and answers with a bright, "Hello." She will see who it is and decide what to do. Can that voice be trusted not to jump to the conclusion that she should no longer live alone in the home she loves?
She's not sure, so she makes small talk. Later she scootches herself through her dining room to the stairs, hoping she can pull herself up by holding onto the bannister. It is now well past midnight, and she is still flat on her back. Finally, at two in the morning, she decides to push the button on the emergency alert bracelet she wears on her wrist, the same button that could have brought help hours ago.
"To live independently and then die suddenly that's what everybody in geriatrics prays for," admits Dr. Steve Fehlauer, a Salt Lake geriatrician who has overseen care of hundreds of Alzheimer's patients at local nursing homes.
"Aging in place" is the buzzword the ability to grow old in your own home and your own town, or at least in a senior apartment with your own pictures on the walls. It's partly an effort to keep costs down, partly a human need to be near what is familiar. At its core is also an unnamed fear: of ending up aging in another place, at the mercy of family or strangers.
Utah certainly has aging success stories like 96-year-old Lennox Tierney, who tomorrow will lead a group of Utahns on a tour of Japan. He's a museum curator in California, teaches Japanese flower arranging in Utah and still shovels his driveway every winter.
But the people on the front lines of aging outreach workers, first responders who answer 911 calls, home health workers, the elderly themselves all have stories of old people afraid to reveal the extent of their frailties, fearful that someone will remove them from their homes. Afraid they'll be "doomed," as Peter Hebertson, director of outreach for Salt Lake County Aging Services, puts it.
There was the woman who fell at the bottom of the basement stairs on her way to her laundry room and then crawled all the way back up the stairs without using her emergency alert necklace to call for help. There's the woman who masks her dementia by always talking about the more reliable and accessible very long ago instead of what happened this morning. There are spouses who hide each other's frailties, and there are neighbors at senior apartments who cover for friends who are failing, so those friends won't be asked to move out.
There's the man at the Friendly Neighbor senior high rise in Salt Lake City who refused to get into an ambulance after falling, afraid he might never return to his apartment. He had promised his children he wouldn't spend their inheritance on long-term care.
"I see a lot of people covering for themselves," says Heather Bittinger, a social worker with Millcreek Home Health and Hospice. Asked if they need help with bathing, for example, they'll insist they're fine an exaggeration uncovered when Bittinger sees dust in the bathtub.
Not long ago, an 85-year-old widow's house was robbed and vandalized. She told her friends but was afraid to tell her children for fear they would try to persuade her to move out of state to be closer to them. In fact, when she did decide to tell them, that's exactly what happened. Now she's a thousand miles away in a town she doesn't know, safe but sorry.
It's not craziness that motivates the evasiveness and the denial, says Maureen Henry, director of the Utah Commission on Aging. "They're in a desperate self-preservation mode." They're often stripped of their independence and self-determination in the name of safety, by children who love them.
There's a lot of wheedling and wooing "You'll see the grandkids every day, Mom" and pressure. One daughter of an elderly man recalled "hammering away until he gave in to shut me up. That's how Dad went to a nursing home."
But what do you do with someone who is fiercely independent yet unwilling to take steps to ensure that independence? A local Mormon bishop tells of a woman who repeatedly called neighbors in the middle of the night when she fell and couldn't get up but was unwilling to make changes simple grab bars in the bathroom that might allow her to stay in her home more safely.
The elderly are sometimes even reluctant to use the kinds of services designed to let them stay in their homes longer. Some are afraid it will label them incompetent, worried that, as Salt Lake County firefighter Dominic Burchett notes, "some van will take them away."
Burchett is a paramedic whose area includes the neighborhoods above 2300 East that are full of elderly residents who have truly aged in place, still living in homes they first moved to with young families decades ago.
Paramedic Barry Makarewicz says his fire station in Sugar House also gets lots of calls from and about old people. Sometimes the calls come in from old folks who are simply lonely for a visitor at midnight. More often it's a call from an old person who has fallen and can't get back up or can't get pulled back up by an elderly spouse. Often the calls are repeats, from a person or a couple unwilling to admit they can no longer live alone without some kind of help.
Families, too, are often in denial or too busy to figure it out, Makarewicz says. "Sometimes the younger part of the family doesn't want to get involved, they don't want to take care of their parents; it's going to cramp their style and cost them money." He says that when paramedics and police say someone can't take care of himself any more, "then family will finally do something. They just didn't want to face the reality of it."
Makarewicz's sister, Salt Lake County Aging Services outreach caseworker Paula Pinkham, has made it her mission to visit every fire station in the county to alert first responders about Aging Services programs, so they can pass the word along to seniors and their families. There is help out there, she wants them to know: There are programs that provide caregiver support, help with transportation and household chores and "activities of daily living."
On the other hand there are also waiting lists for these services and sometimes income requirements that exclude people who make a little too much money to label them officially poor. The programs are more apt to be available in cities than in rural or frontier areas. Vaughn Call, director of the gerontology program at Brigham Young University, says the availability of programs that help the elderly "varies dramatically by community size."
Seventy percent of us are figuring we'll live the rest of our lives in the homes we're living in now, according to a survey conducted by Dan Jones and Associates for the CareSource Foundation. Asked how worried we are that we might not have the physical health to take care of these homes as we age, the answer on a scale of 1 to 7 is a moderately concerned 3.6. We're fairly sanguine that things will work out fine for us even though 44 percent of us think, erroneously, that if we ever need long-term in-home care, Medicare will pay for it.
And although long-term care insurance can help pay for home care, no one knows how many Utahns over 55 have actually bought a policy. The number that's floated nationally is about 5 percent.
Boomers are in denial about their future, says Lorna Koci, services director with Utah Food Bank Services. "All you have to do is look at their savings and spending habits." They just don't get it, she says, although recent economic events have slowed spending and made people more cautious.
We expect, perhaps, that our families will come to the rescue, which they often do. We figure we'll call our neighbors and church members for rides and meals and help getting out of the bathtub when we fall. It takes a village to keep the old-old "independent," but often the villagers wear out trying. And will there be enough neighbors and caregivers to help? Utah has far fewer working-age adults to take care of and financially support its young and its old. We have one of the worst "dependency ratios" in the country.
"If you think the oil crisis is bad, just wait," says Bill Farley, director of the W.D. Goodwill Initiatives on Aging in the College of Social Work at the University of Utah. "I think as a state we're in denial about the problems that are coming."
As a whole, Utahns are living longer (an average 79.35 years for women, 76.38 for men), and many people in their 80s, 90s and even 100s are thriving. But the conditions that no longer kill us are making us frailer as we age. We're living longer with arthritis, Parkinson's and the after-effects of stroke, leaving us with mobility and safety issues.
Sixteen years ago, when Hebertson began his job with Salt Lake County Aging, his clients were much less frail and sick than his clients now. And in the future, he says, "we're all going to be dealing with more and more frail people."
To live long is expensive, and if individuals aren't prepared, warns Aging Commission director Henry, the burden on safety-net programs, from Meals on Wheels to Medicaid, will increase. Our communities will be faced with providing better transportation for the old-old, more money to help with home chores and personal care, and housing that will accommodate wheelchairs and walkers.
In the weeks ahead, the Deseret News will explore what's coming and look more closely at what's happening now. As a society, we tend to look past the elderly, drawn instead to the vibrant young and our own concerns. We boast about being a young state. But we're also becoming an old state.
Millions of aging baby boomers will force us out of denial, predicts Scott Wright. Wright is director of the Gerontology Interdisciplinary Program at the U. and is upbeat about the future. With the first boomers poised to hit 65 just two years from now beginning a trajectory that may eventually include walkers as well as early bird specials the motivation will be there to change how aging looks, is accepted and is planned for.
The sheer numbers of boomers will either break the bank and overwhelm the system or be a catalyst for change.
And, already, there is much to be hopeful about. The story of aging is a story about decline and loss, but also the story of Margarete Hicken, who's a little embarrassed about the night she spent on the floor.
She's the oldest surviving member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and turned 102 earlier this month. At her birthday party she good-naturedly let a friend talk her into doing the "chicken dance" before a hundred or so of her dearest friends. She still cooks for herself and her frequent overnight guests, still makes the trip up and down the stairs between her basement laundry room and upstairs bedrooms, still loves to crack a joke.

Pages: 390
Publisher: Mira Books
Released: December 2011
Plot: Avery is a healer, she has the ability to cure the sick by temporarily taking away their disease. A gift some might say, however this is not true. Avery lives her life in hiding, hunted and feared all through the realms as the scapegoat to the cause of the plague that has killed many.
Avery soon discovers that she is the last of her kind when she is hunted and captured by Kerrick and his men with the task to travel back with them and cure their friend. But with trouble always at their backs will they make it in time? And even if they do will Avery want to heal this 'friend'?
Good Points: I actually quite liked this book. I thought the story was quite unique and they're was plenty of action and drama to keep me entertained. The book is written in the main character, Avery,'s perspective and what a character she is! By the end of the book I was very impressed by her strength and the things she does to protect her friends. She wasn't whiney and she got on and did what she had to do which I liked.
The other characters, mainly those who help capture and save Avery all work well together, they're personalities shining though individually as well, Belen or Poppa bear as Avery nicknames him and Flea are the main stand-out characters in my opinion, yet the book does not fail to show humour and fun through its other notable characters.
The plot was good and I liked where the series is going, definitely looking forward to the next books!
Bad Points: I have to admit at first I wasn't sure about the pacing of the book, in my opinion especially when they were travelling near the beginning that large chunks were missing. However by the end of the book you realise the vast time period to which the book spans and it would have been unrealistic for everything to have been shown. But I would have liked a little of something.
Also I was a tiny but confused at how the plague spread....
To Sum Up... This book is a really good read, once you get into it you can't seem to escape from the world Snyder has created and its characters that you fall in love with just like Avery does.
It's got to be said this book isn't as good as Poison study which is by far my favourite Snyder novel but I think the series has lots of potential and I look forward to reading the next books!
Read the book!

This one is on my to be read list. I read her Study series and I loved the first one but I didn't like the second at all. I just think she should've kept it a standalone personally. I wanted to give another one of her series a chance though.ReplyDelete
I can't wait to read this. I absolutely loved her Study series! Maybe my husband will buy all the books on my amazon wish list for Christmas so I can read it :)ReplyDelete
I love this book and I'm so excited for the next book. I stared reading Maria V Snyder late last year but she has quickly become one of my favourite authors. Such good booksReplyDelete

Many comments about this video start with: ''If this happened, i would not be able to leave my house''
According to a Brazilian news site G1, as spoken to a biologist who identified the spiders as Anelosimus eximius which is a social spider known for massive colonies and "sheet webs." The biologist added the massive grouping of spiders was common for the Anelosimus eximius.
This is scarey wonder if they bite ,strange happening, No way. Running away, fast, screaming. LOL

Explain this, Mr Gore February 4, 2010Posted by BlueGreen in Deception, Doesnt Understand, Misrepresentation.
CO2 is rising but global temperature isn't rising.
It's amazing that Bolt repeats over and over an assertion that is patently false and, somewhat alarmingly given that he claims to understand the science, refuted by the very graphic he refers to.
If it was a proven fact and a necessity of climate science that global temperature will always appear to be increasing and perfectly correlated with CO2 output, wouldn't the gig have been up in 1998? The very graph Bolt is referring to clearly shows that global temperature appeared to decrease over the next few years. This has been the case over the long term global temperature series.
The fact is, global temperature varies with many factors and variable apart from CO2. This is why it tends to be computer modelled rather than governed by a simple linear equation.
Bolt's post merely servers to demonstrate he does not understand a subject he loudly claims he does.

Let's Make Airfares CheaperPosted by degs
In my mere eight years of competitive ultimate I have noticed significant change in the way tournaments are operated and organized. "Ultimate Time" is an unknown phrase for the youngest current players, while tournament directors (and therefore tournaments) are increasingly professional. In the last few years we've seen the first private company whose product is a top-notch tournament as well as a moderate increase in the corporate sponsorship, the darling of which is clearly Chicago's Sandblast.
I don't know if other tournaments have begun partnering with commercial airlines, but they should. Attention Wiggins, Idris, Akira, Dave Branick, and the rest of you: get an airline on board with your tournament. Colorado Cup is pleased to partner with Frontier, a small, Denver-based airline. Every player who books through Frontier using our specific discount code will get 10% off their roundtrip airfare. And while 10% isn't a huge sum, anything helps. Most airlines have a groups and meetings office that will set up a discount code for your tournament. Check out examples at United, Frontier and Continental.
Perhaps your TD hasn't set up an airline discount. You're still okay. Most airlines offer 10% off roundtrip airfares for groups of 10 or more traveling on the same itinerary. Again, check the examples on United and Frontier.
Want the best teams at your tournament? Want your team to travel for less? Let's make airfares cheaper.

While I agree that it is great to have the best teams at tourneys, flying also means contributing a lot of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.

text: If you know me, you know I love McDonald's cheeseburgers. So when I saw this advertisement created by DDB Stockholm, it made me laugh. I'm not sure who in their right mind wouldn't want cheese on their burgers, or why McDonald's truly feels they have to defend their delicious creation of a burger (I know, I need to try more food) but alas, this ad does the trick. While it is wordy, it's also comical, personable, and pretty accurate. So as the print ad states,"Call me crazy, but what can be better than cheese? What can be more satisfying than to let your mouth embrace a fresh cheeseburger? Not much, my friends. Not much."
